Re: Alex voice

[christopher hallsworth]

Alex is only available on devices with a 64 bit processor. Neither the iPhone 
4s nor iPad 3 have such a processor. It has nothing to do with whether Alex is 
available in your country.

Hi,
Alix also runs on the iPad mini second generation.
I downloaded Alix yesterday.  However the strange thing was it didn't
use him without a reboot.

Re: Should iOS 8.0 take *this* long to download???

I just left it.  Like phone queues,  if you cancel, you're back at the end 
of the queue.

OK, I realize *everyone* is probably downloading now, but I have not seen 
any times longer than six hours with a slow connection for downloading iOS 
8. Both my husband and I are getting "13 hours" as an estimate, one hour 
after seeing "8 hours".  Our WiFi connection is fairly good most of the 
time. Should we cancel and restart, or just leave it?

Re: Typing mode question

[BobH.]

Seems to be a hybrid of the two, so tap the right character and it is done. 
If you drag around like I do,  you'll still have to tap it when you find it.

I'll stick to touch typing I think.

Re: Typing mode question

[BobH.]

Ok, we're on a different issue,  direct typing and the braille are different 
things, all be they both set on the rotor.

I also understand that you can't change the dots1-3 and 4-6 around, so many 
are trying to braille upside down.

Hi there
Actually, this appears to work very similar to embryo. I was very fast with 
embryo, but I must be doing something wrong because I can't make the 
keyboard work with braille. Anybody who's tested this thing know what we 
might be doing wrong to make this thing work?

For one thing, I think maybe that I'm not fast enough to calibrate my dots. 
I keep getting the opposite was that I want. For instance I want dots 456 to 
be on the right and that's 123 to be on the left, and I can't get in the 
backward.
Sincerely,
Gigi

Re: Typing mode question

[Eugenia Firth]

Actually, although I still have a problem, if you do just the opposite of what 
VO says to do, you can get the dots reversed the way you would on a Perkins 
brailler. For instance, it says to do the right hand first. If you do the left 
hand first, it seems to put the dots in the right place. However, I heard VO 
say dots calibrated, and I got dots in weird places and they seem to be 
misorganized.

Re: Alex voice

[Kevin Cussick]

on the I pod touch.   can anyone confirm? thanks in advance.

Alex, so you have to upgrade to the 6, in order to get support for him?

Re: Alex voice

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

that's not what they meant.  They are saying, if you don't have a 5S, you can 
not get Alex on your iPhone.  It will only work on Apple devices with a 64 bit 
processor.  5S, iPad mini retina, and the iPad air.  And of course, the iPhone 
6 and 6+ come tomorrow.

recommendation for braille device

[Yuma Antoine Decaux]

Hi All,

So I've decided to jump to reading braille after a few years of being blind. 
Can anyone recommend me a good high quality braille device, bluetooth enabled 
such and such that I can start using braille tutor with and learn to read this 
semester?

Best regards,

Re: recommendation for braille device

[Cameron Strife]

Hi. I'm selling a mint condition humanware brailliant bi40
bluetooth/USB braille display that works with iOS, OSX, and windows if
you'd be interested...

I found the braille cells to have a nice solid feel without being
"sharp" like other displays I looked at before purchasing it.

Hit me up off list for more info.

Thanks,

Cameron.

Re: recommendation for braille device

That depends on how much money you are willing to spend, how many
cells you want and where you like the buttons or wheels used for
moving through a document.  I would recommend you go to any place you
know where they can show you different options and look at them.  We
all have our favorites.

Re: recommendation for braille device

[Cheree Heppe]

Cheree Heppe here:

Braille aware devices could be said to come in two basic types: displays and 
note takers.  Now, a hybrid type having some note taking capabilities also are 
emerging.

Which Braille device you may prefer is personal.  Unfortunately, a blind user 
cannot simply memorize one set of operational commands and then use those to 
evaluate every brand of Braille aware device.  Each company designs commands 
and key press combinations special to that company into their devices.  
Sometimes, the command structure varys widely even within one company's 
offerings.

I have not seen many of these Braille devices and can speak from limited direct 
experience.  I have liked a device not supported by HumanWare now, called the 
PK.  This operated easily and nearly silently and was small and easily 
portable.  It had good word processsing and other useful apps and interfaces.  
The company who made these, Baum Retec, out of Germany, now has a U.S. 
subsidiary in Massachusetts.  Their note takers are pretty useful, but I must 
admit to difficulty learning their command structure.  That could be me, 
however and your milage may vary.

I've heard of something for unfer F1,000.00 called the Braille Pen.  It now has 
cursor routing capability.  I am not familiar with what it can or cannot do.  
It is small and portable.

I guess I would contact the American Council of the Blind and ask about 
resources and user experiences with Braille aware devices.  You could also 
contact the NFB or your local rehab agency, providing the agency is worth the 
trouble where you are served.

What I did was to obtain a used PK and send it to Oehm Electronics in San Jose, 
California to get the very long lasting battery they have access to and to get 
the machine looked at.  This way, I could use the PK and maybe even pay the 
nearly $400 to HumanWare to get the last update for that device.  My PK I sent 
to Baum to be upgraded to one of their Pronto devices.  This will give me 
multi-connect Bluetooth capability and a lot of functionality.  I do have to 
re-learn how to use that newly upgraded device, however.

Hope this has helped and not confused.  Oh, yes.  A lot of people seem to like 
the Hymms (sp) devices.

Hit me up off list for more info.

Re: Typing mode question

[BobH.]

Well, I've tried the braille and likeit so far.  It is the same way round as 
I used mBraille, so a classic - SoFarsoGood.


Thanks, RobH.

Ps:  I found 3 different braille tables I could use,  where could I look up 
a character set for them,  trying to find gems like £$@" and all theo ther 
stuff we've got used to using on net devices.

Actually, although I still have a problem, if you do just the opposite of 
what VO says to do, you can get the dots reversed the way you would on a 
Perkins brailler. For instance, it says to do the right hand first. If you 
do the left hand first, it seems to put the dots in the right place. 
However, I heard VO say dots calibrated, and I got dots in weird places and 
they seem to be misorganized.

Re: Typing mode question

[Lisette Wesseling]

I have found the braille to be pretty good on the iPad. I never got MBraille to 
work form me on the iPad, but the Apple braille lets me actually type in 
braille on my iPad. I actually find table top mode easier on the iPad, though 
will probably use away mode on the phone.
There are some bugs but it's definitely usable as is.

anyone know about problems with iBooks in IOS 8?

[Donna Goodin]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about bugs with the latest iBooks?  I 
upgraded to IOS 8 last night, and installed the update to iBooks.  Now, I can 
see the publisher's blurb for my books when I click on the Purchased Tab, but 
that's all I can see.  When I switch to my books, the list is empty, despite 
the fact that I have several downloaded.  It doesn't matter whether I select My 
Bookshelf, Titles, or Authors, I see nothing.  I had my sighted husband look at 
my phone, and he confirmed that the books are not showing up on the screen at 
all.  Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks,
Donna

Hi Peter

Well that's just weird. I also checked on my iPod, and I have the same problem. 
I can't imagine what's going on, but Apple needs to figure out how I'm going to 
get access to these books that I paid for!
Best,
Donna

Voiceover settings

[The Believer]

   The other day I had some questions, none of which got answered, so 
will tackle them singly.


   Voiceover is set to my liking except when system related information 
is spoken. It sounds like its using default VO settings. Is there 
another place where I can change this?

Re: Voiceover settings

[Rachel Feinberg]

Hi,

This sounds like you're hearing the system voice that's speaking other  
information.
You can change the rate of this by going into system 
preferences>dictation and speech>text to speech tab, and in there you'll 
find adjustments of the system voice, as well as the rate.

Re: App store in iOs 8?

Hi,

It appears to be working normally for me.  I was able to check for updates and 
ensure that they were applied anyway.  Maybe you could close it in the App 
Chooser then re-open it to see if that makes any difference.

Later...

Re: App store in iOs 8?

[Ray Foret Jr]

I concurr with Tim.  You might, if you ain't done so already, try holding down 
the power button and the home button for ten seconds.  this will force your 
phone to do a hard restart.  One note of caution about this.  DO, NOT, hole the 
buttons in for more than ten seconds or you will send the phone in to UDF mode. 
 This is where you'd do a hard reset of the phone's firmware.
