Re: Hiding Apps

[Erik Heil]

Hello, 
I don’t believe that this is possible.  That is, apps that you have purchased 
cannot be deleted from your account.  I believe that this is simply due to the 
legal requirement for record keeping and the such.  Well, perhaps someone else 
can chime in on this, as I am not completely sure on this matter.  However, the 
same is true, for instance, if you make a purchase on Amazon.com 
, return the item for whatever reason, you will certainly 
see a record of both the order, as well as the status of the return.

Re: accessible web browser for iOS that supports flash?

[Erik Heil]

 hELLO,
i'M NOT SURE WHETHER THIS ACTUALLY ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION DIRECTLY, BUT WHAT
EXACTLY DO YOU WAHT TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THE fLASH CONTENT? aRE OU TRYING TO
INTERACT WITH A fLASH-BASED APPLICATION? Play video? The reason why I bring
this up is that when it comes to ahdio and video content, a lot of Web
sites are moving to HTML5-based audio and video tools. So, Flash is not as
nearly used as it once was. Sok in short, please let us know what actly you
are trying to accomplish with Flash.  As far as a native Flash playwer,
that's not going to happen at all. First of all, Adobe has decided to focus
all of its efforts in respect to mobile content nto HTML5 authoring tools.
Next, Apple has stated publically that they will not allow Flash content on
their devices. Even the late Steve Jobs in an open letter layed out the
reasons why Flash is a bad idea.  I'm not at all trying to start a flame
war on this topic, but figured that I would try and at least try and answer
your question here. Maybe their are alternaties to waht you want o
accomplish that you can use on your iPad? Just some food for thought. I
hope this helpsl at least a little.

Re: Questions re iOS

[Erik Heil]

 Hello
To try and answer your questions, messages on all my IOS devices are not at
all delivered to the important folder. As far as copies of messages being
sent, Gmail does not send you copies of mail sent to mail that is sent on
mailing lists.  This policy is not local, so you cannot change it. As a
temporary fix, you may not want to sync that folder in your Impa
configuration--the IOS native mail user agent does sllow the user to select
which Imap folders re actually synched.  Feel free to mail me off-list and
I can try and help you out ad much as I possibly can.

Re: need an iphone help

[Erik Heil]

Hello,
The area of the app store that you want is the area that describes the
software made by Apple. I don't believe that the original plan was to make
the applications available for free to all users, but apparently, this has
changed. On my iPad 4th Generation, the apps were free.  I can't speak for
Garrage Band, as I actually purchased this application. However, Numbers,
as well as iMovie, etc. were indeed free for me to download.

Re: how to clean vmware virtual disk?

[Erik Heil]

 Hello,
To answer your question, that depends on how you created your Vmware disk.
 During the VM initial creation process, you can specify how you want space
to be allocated on the host system. i.e. you can either have the total
ammount of allocated space reserved initially, or you can have the ammount
of space allocated on the host system on a dynamic basis. I'm not sure, but
there is a clean-up disk option within the management interface of your VM.
To use it though, the VM must be in a powered off state. This should
allocate more space on the host system. Hope this helps.

Erik

Re: new version of skype

[Erik Heil]

 Hello,
I have used the new version of Skype for IOS quite a bit. From what I've
seen so far, in an attempt to redesign the interface, they did in fact
break a lot of the accessibility that was present in previous versions of
the client. But all is not lost. The recent update that was released
(version 5.1), specifically mentions voiceover improvements.  This
indicates that the developers are aware of issues related to voiceover, and
are working to address those issues.  Perhaps others have more opinions of
this issue, but if I were you, I would not update to the latest version
until all the voiceover issues are addressed, and it is in a state
comparable to what we had in other previous versions.

Re: audio question

[Erik Heil]

 Hello,
One important thing mentioning here is that if you go with a USB mixer, you
will eliminate the analog to digital conversion step that will be used if
you use a tradational line-in mixer. Now this isn't saying that you will
notice any degraded audio, but this may become a problem. Also, if you
chose to go with a USB mixer, you will not experience any hums and other
annoyances, if for some reason, your line-in cable is not properly
shielded.

Re: How accessible is Google Hangouts on an iPhone?

[Erik Heil]

 Hello,
It has been some time sin e I've visited and used the Google Hangouts app
on an iPhone.  Whith that said, at the time, it was not accessible at all.
This means that their may have been certain portions of the UI that were in
fact accessible, but certainly not enough to make the application usable
via Voiceover.  Now, things may have indeed improved since that time, but
personally, I've not looked at the app since then.  Possibly other membwers
may have good or bad news on this issue.

Re: starting to get irritated by IOS 8

[Erik Heil]

Hey there, how are you doing? Exactly what problems are you talking about? I am 
by running version 8.2, and don't have any issues at all. Any problem I do have 
is specifically in Safari. For some reason, and some sites, you will not be 
able to use the swipe navigation to go through webpages. Simply going to the 
home screen, and read injured Safari actually solve the problem though. Have 
any of you cheeriest such problems?

Hello,
Do you wireless information is stored within NV RAM. As such, if you have

it has previously associated it with your iCloud account. For more information, 
if you view the deed it with a and B RAM, you'll see network he's related to 
the wireless networks if you have any. Of course, this information is 
encrypted, but like I said before, it is see with them in the room. If you 
actually were to clear and we ramp settings, disinformation would not be 
available, and as such, some system values which are stored within and be ram

Re: What is needed for compiling espeak for voiceover.

[Erik Heil]

 Hi guys,
In theory, this shouldn't be very hard to do. Now I'm not familiar with the
various API's that Apple exposes in order to generate speech, but I would
assume that something like Speech Dispatcher is being used. For those of
you who are more familiar with the issue, feel free to correct me.

Re: Best accessibility experience for Skype?

Hi. Skype is pretty much accessible out of the box. I personnnally use the
contacts monitor which is very nice to view your online buddies that are
available for chatting or calling.

give it my all. Anyway, you can add me to Skype, and we can take it from

Re: Downcast qustion

[Erik Heil]

Hello
Well, I've only used downcast on an iPad so can't really see whether it is 
worth it on a Mac. However, I can only assume that functionality is the same or 
equal to that which is present on an iPad. As far as accessibility, we can 
expect that it is accessible on a Mac, as it is on iOS.'s's computers have more 
storage, one benefit you would have is more space for storing video podcasts, 
audio podcasts, and other media which is distributed as a part of the podcast 
feed.

Re: Downcast qustion

[Erik Heil]

Hello again,
Well, like I said before, storage space is most certainly much better on the 
computer however, what you may want to do is consider investing in a network 
attach storage device. That way, you would have been location for your files 
media. But it depends on what sort of usage and had. The advantage is that you 
have like I said one location for all devices. Whether it be mobile, android, 
tablet, when. So, purchase the devices, you can actually get small to storage,

Re: Network Attached storage for sale?

[Erik Heil]

Hello,
Well, they may not have a problem with it, it depends. If for instance, you 
don't have any video, then they may have a problem with it. Because it's videos 
left out, isn't as valuable as having video within the collection. So, we don't 
know what is actually decoded. It may just be transcoder audio probably know. 
Anyways, just my thoughts

Re: New 2013 macbook Pro retina display freezing and saying "busy, busy"

Hello
This is probably related to the operating system. As it does not affect 
Macintoshes at large. Maybe what we call a race condition. Not sure if this is 
been reported to Apple, but we should probably do so.

Re: iOS 8.0.2 crashes regularly and other issues.

[Erik Heil]

Hello Everyone, new wine. First of all, thank you for starting this thread.
I'm going to try and describe some of the bugs that I have described.
Perhaps this is related to my setup, but we will see. Ok guys, on to the
bugs.
The first bug that I noticed, is there. First of all, I miss mention that
this is not a bug. I OS 8, however in a present for at least a few
releases. This is related to list elements, and how they are handled by
voice over. Interest you enough, this only comes in to contact when certain
elements are being used. An example of this bug, look at the article a
history of Mac OS X, or, Mac OS. This can be found on Wikipedia. It should
be noted that not all lists actually have this bug. I think it may be
related to how was over actually Parsons the lists. You wine the next bug I
like to introduce is the bug that has to do with touch tones. Or I should
say, touch-tone keys. This bug does not happen often, but when it does, you
either have to close the phone application, or reboot the device in order
for the DTMF tones to stop playing. I have personally discovered this bug.
Another bug which happen this is related to voice over crashing in certain
circumstances. Couple days ago I was looking at a profile with the new
Facebook app.. However, it should be noted that this is not just a normal
crash. 3 and why it is not a normal crash is due to the simple fact that
when I attempted to restart the server, it did not work. Interestingly
enough, if I was to tell Siri to start over, confirm, there is no speech at
all from the device., device., they may not be able to do this. Luckily, I
would know that you have to double tap the screen after holding down the
power button. Booted, did come back, and everything was back to normal.
This is a showstopper, and should not have been introduced in hos. After
all, this operating system was tested. I understand that bugs do occur, and
they are simply a normal process of developing software. However, I believe
that they should have been work all the control. I would like to hear any
comments any of you have. Thank you for all your time. Eric

Re: Hand off, anyone?

[Erik Heil]

Hello
Well, just got your message. This is only a possibility, but I wonder if this 
might be related to FaceTime? The reason why I mention this is because when I 
had handoff working on an iPad and iPhone, for some reason, I couldn't receive 
any incoming calls on my iPad. However, on just a hunch, I decided to 
reactivate FaceTime on my iPad. After this, everything worked as expected

Re: Can the fujitsu scansnap 600 sv be used of a blind person.

[Erik Heil]

Hello
Well, I don't see any reason why this can't be done. The question you have to 
ask is whether software you want to use actually supports this device. Also, 
and might be helpful if you have some kind of guidance on the image. That is, 
how the document is oriented, assuming you want to actually scan documents. I 
hope this actually helps.

Re: FileVault speech services now available at startup on some computers

[Erik Heil]

Hello
Well, to your question, in order for this to be implemented when you press 
option to select the boot device, this will have to be implemented at the EFI 
level. That is, it will have to be baked into the actual from work which boots 
your device. Since the transition to Intel, all Macintoshes have used EFI to 
boot their systems.

Re: a big big problem with a drive

[Erik Heil]

Hi.
First of all, I'm going to assume that you don't have a RAID setup. If you
did, you'd likely know about it. So, just ignore those errors. To fix this
error, reboot into Windows, enter cmd.exe and when you get to the prompt,
type "chkdsk /F" and the drive letter Windows assigns to it. Windows will
most likely complain about inconsistent entries in the MFT (similar to old
FAT filesystems on floppy disks or other media.) Go ahead and have Windows
fix those errors. When the process is complete, try mounting the filesystem
again. You shouldn't get any errors at this point. Note that Windows is a
bit conservative about displaying errors--in this case ntfs 3G did you a
favor. While not serious, there is a potential for these errors to become
much more serious over time.

RE: Developing accessable websites with jQuery UI

Hello.
As far as accessible interfaces are concerned you may want to do some testing 
with bo. Does j query expose any ellements through aria? Also what is the

layer used in order to generate the ui. So vo would need Support for these

Subject: Re: Developing accessable websites with jQuery UI

  jQueryUI has pretty good accessibility and will be much improved in 
the 1.9 version. The 5.x series of Safari browsers seems to be doing a 
better job with ARIA making navigation of web widgets work better. Here 
is an example which came out of the AEGIS project to improve 
accessibility of jQueryUI:

http://hanshillen.github.com/aegisdemo/

It's a tab widget and each tab has a different kind of widget inside. 
I've been working with Hans Hillen and at this point the widgets are 
pretty much correct if the screen reader interprets things correctly. 
Seems that VO is having some trouble with the tree view at the moment. 
Jaws also has issues so it's hard to get it all right.

More info on AEGIS, the EU funded accessibility initiative can be found 
here:

Well, it may be issues with support as well as development. Remember we also 
have access to OOo, which is accessible. Barring that, you could always install 
Debian within a BM and use the GO.OO.org version which is nincluded in the

Re: Microsoft Office 2011 and VoiceOver

[Erik Heil]

The question here is what specific security issues? Clearly, they were made 
aware of the issues. We should try and find out what the issues are. It would 
be no different if for security concerns, you couldn't see the sdreen. 
Corporations wouldn't stand for this. It's the same like putting up a sign that 
says blind people not allowed. What if you don't have anyone sighted available 
to help during the installation process? Well, I guess you are screwed. If we 
want change, I suggest a letter writing campaign. If this doesn't work, 
boycotting will ve my next suggestion. We have alternatives such as Linux and 
they are quite usable.

Re: In app purchases

[Erik Heil]

Hello,
Apple doesn't charge taxes on in-app purchases. I don't see how they can
actually charge for items that aren't physical in nature. Same would go for
second life. Skype id eheil01 if anyone wants to have a mac chat
or whatever. HOpe this helps.

Re: Anyone else having difficulties with the iOS 7.0 install?

[Erik Heil]

Hi. This is normal. Apple wants to verify the actual device installs. So, if 
the server is not able to verify the activation, it will fail. You need to just 
be patient, and try again. This is exactly what happened to me.

Re: And where on earth have they put the search box in Safari?

Hello,
The address bar and search bar are now the same box. So, if you want to search, 
just type what you want, and hit search. There is no separate search box no 
more.

Re: I did it! Bye bye Windows!

[Erik Heil]

Hey chris,
Congrats! I don't have a Mac myself, but I'm using this list as a learning
experience when I do get a Mac, which hopefully should be in the near
future. i"ll have to admit that Alex is one of the major highlights of the
Mac experience imho. So, you're on a winning streak. BTW if you wanted to
run Windows on the same machine as OSX, there's no reason why you can't run
it within a virtual machine. You mentioned your specs, and for a serious VM
installation, its not possible, but you could do basic tasks with a Windows
VM. Allocate 1GB of RAM to it, and Windows should run OK. Not ideally, but
it would be a at least functional experience.

Re: what is Springboard

[Erik Heil]

Hello,
Sprinboard is simply the background daemon that is responsible for window
manageent on your IOS device. i.e. The same as metacity or Kwin on either
Gnome or KDE respectively. i.e. they are default window managers. A note
for potential jailbrakers. If and when you get complete access to the IOS
filesystem, do not delete the springboard binary, or you will literally
have a bricked device. This is because if the window manager is not
running, you will have no way to access the gui. If, on the other hand, you
have sshd running and configured, you then have another chance to make
things right. So, just a little advice to people on this list. My skype
name is eheil01 in case any of you have any questions, i"ll do whetever I
can to help anyone on this list. Everyone take care,

GnuPG and IOS

[Erik Heil]

Hello everyone, 
I was wondering if its at all possible to use the GNU Privacy Guard (gpg) 
and its friends at some level within IOS. I realize that the native Mail 
app has no native support for any digital signatures r encryption tools, 
but perhaps their are some external tools that can get the job done? Since 
their is no scripting abilities withn IOS, you can't just hack together a 
Python/Perl script in this situation. Any suggestions? 
Thanks.

New to the List

[Erik Heil]

Hello everyone.  Well, i'm the new proud owner of a iMac late 2013 model, 
and have had it for almost weeks.  So far, I love it, and the learning 
curve is not difficult at all. However, I have a few questions, which 
probably aren't too difficult.  So, here goes.

1. Whatwould you recommend as an accessible IRC client? Note that I have 
Adium installed, but that's not a perfect solution. If Adium reads the 
messages as they come in, their's no way to control the rate of speech, or 
just to bypass all queued messages and start reading the new text that is 
being displayed in the channel.  For channels which are not high-traffic, 
this isn't a problem.  However, if you have a channel which has a lot of 
users sending messages, this simply does not work.  I would use console 
applications such as epic or other IRC clients, but their are major issues 
with Voiceover reading incoming text in console-based applications.  Cursor 
tracking using Voiceover seems nonexistent, as well as a myriad of issues.

2.  What would you recommend as a very accessible MUDD client? Preferably a 
client that supports MCP, sounds, etc?
3. What do you all use to listen to Internet Radio? 
4. Flash Plugin? Should I bother installing it on this machine? 

Thanks for all your time. If I get enough answers, I will post a summary 
document in return for your time spent researching and answering my 
questions. 

Erik

Hey guys, thank you for all the suggestions. I will definitely try those 
applications. Recording is not really an issue right now, but I wish there was 
something similar to the tune in app that is available for android it all as 
iOS devices. Perhaps there is, but I'm just not aware of it.

Re: New to the List

[Erik Heil]

Hi
F first of all, I want to thank all of you for your excellent responses.
Well, I will certainly try the applications that were suggested. STD
before, recording isn't really an issue right now, but maybe in the future.
As for as an accessible MUD client, we can wait on that, as its not really
a priority at the moment.  Telnet works just fine, provided I use "visually
impaired" mode,where supported.  I plan to write the friendly workers at
accessibil...@apple.com in order to try and get a usable solution to the
terminal-based issues.  Note that I come from a UNIX and Linux background,
so I'm am of course comfortable with various shells, as well as writing
shell scripts.  I see that Voiceover has the ability to be controlled via
Apple Script, which is promising.  However, in order to get cursor tracking
working, and a much better user experience within Terminal, its going to
take more than Apple Scripts. Anyways, as I said before, this is an
excellent discussion, so it's go for it.

Re: 2 more questions

[Erik Heil]

Hi there. If you actually go to the option about your Mac with and preferences, 
and choose support, then you can view your warranty status. Once you verify 
your Apple ID, there will be an option to purchase AppleCare, if you're not 
already enrolled.

Some more Questions

[Erik Heil]

Hello again, 
FFirst  of all, thanks for all the responses to my other questions.  Really 
helped a lot 
I was thinking of trying to get a full-blown GNOME desktop environment 
running on this machine, as I am familiar with that environment. Doing some 
research, I can see that their is an open source version of the Xorg X11 
Window system that I can install.  Ideally, I would love the greatest and 
latest stuff viable from the GNOME Project which at present, is Gnome 
3.4.X.  However, I think we have some problems.  If I'm wrong in these 
assumptions, feel free to correct me where necessary.  If memory serves, 
GNOME 3.x has some dependencies on systems, which is Linux-specific.  That 
is, their is at present, no BSD-compatible system implementation. I don't 
believe that system needs to be running, however I do believe that core 
system library functions are now dependencies.  Does it make sense to 
install a copy of VMware Fusion and install a copy of Debian into the guest 
VM?  If I do go this route, is their anything I need to be concerned about 
in Fusion specifically?  Note that I have a license for VMware Workstation. 
 Will I have to purchase an additional license for Fusion? 
Second question 
Does it make sense to install the GNU-specific tools? In my opinion, they 
are simply just better than the implementations provided by BSD.  I could 
install them out of the way, into for example, /usr/local/bin, as that way, 
it won't conflict with software that is under version control via whatever 
package management system that OS X uses to manage updates.

Re: Bypass Trash

[Erik Heil]

Hello,
This problem is solved simply.  If go into the terminal, and use the "rm"
command in order to delete your files, they are not moved to the ~.trash
directory. Unfortunately, their doesn't seem to be a way to change this
behavior from within the GUI, but perhaps other users will correct me. Hope
this helps.

Re: Some more Questions

[Erik Heil]

Hello,
Wondeful suggestion, though with Bootcamp, you'll have to repartition the
drive, wich IMHO is overkill for this situation.  So, it looks like VMware
is the easiest way to accomplish this task.  Not to mention, its a lot
quicker.  That's if Linux is even supported in a Bootcamp environment.  As
I recall, its designed to aid the installation of Windows, and we don't
know if it modifies the system EFI partition. Simply too many unknowns.

Re: [New post] Apple releases OS X Yosemite 10.10.2

[Erik Heil]

Hey there.
Well, I have just got the update to complete 10.2, and I can see you from 
personal experience, voiceover performance has been dramatically improved. I 
have noticed performance improvements specifically when navigating tables. For 
example, try Skype, and you should try and navigate the contacts table list. 
There is absolutely no delay, and it is the pleasure to use. So, in my opinion, 
definitely hats off to the accessibility engineering team. They really have 
done a good job on this release update so far

Downcast for OSX

[Erik Heil]

Hello,
Recently, I decided to purchase Downcast via the Mac APP Store. Any of you
have tips for using it with Voiceover? I can subscribe to podcasts, view
the individual episodes in the "Local Episodes table" but can't actually
select one to play.  Apparently, those options are always not available.
This seems accessible enough, so what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Re: Downcast for OSX

[Erik Heil]

Hello guys
Well, thanks for all the help. I am now successfully playing podcast using 
downcast on my Mac. Command shift S keyboard combination did the trick. Now, 
how do you access context may be used within OS X? It seems like you may have 
to do that in order to subscribe to a podcast on the Mac using downcast. If 
this is a problem however, I could always subscribe toThe podcast using the iOS 
version of the application, which is not a problem. Again, thanks so much.

Re: Making mobile calls from Mac

[Erik Heil]

Hi,
To make mobile calls from your Mac, the process is quite simple.  On your
iPhone's FaceTime preferences, area, you need to enable the option that
allows cellular via FaceTime.  On the Mac side, the same option needs to be
enabled. Also, note that both devices need to have their Bluetooth radios
turned on, as well as being on the same WiFi network for this to work.
Note that iCloud is used in this case to manage the Bluetooth pairing
process, so the two devices need to be signed into iCloud using the same
Apple ID for this, as well as all other continuity features work.  If you
need further help, please don't hesitate to e-mail me off-list.

Re: Am I nuts, or is Alex way better now?

[Erik Heil]

Hi,
Verry interesting to look at all your replies.  On the subject of delayed
responses using software speech, one has to consider the possibility that
Apple may in fact employ private API's that are non-published, and
therefore are undocumented.  Remember that Apple controls the entire
software stack, so they would have access to proprietary software
optimizations that could be non-published.  Then again, it may be a case of
less than standard hardware.  We should run a memory profile analysis  to
see where any potential bottlenecks are. Mainly, what is the memory
footprint used by the Alex voice specifically? Back to the API situation
for a bit, and then I'll post this.  We already know that the Alex voice is
probably running as a part of a system-wide service. Perhaps the "private"
API's (if, in fact their are any) may give the process higher resource
utilization when its in active use. i.e. speaking text. This may account
partially for the standards of responsiveness.

RE: Answering a few questions about Daisy Bookworm for iPhone

[Erik Heil]

Hello list. The idea of managing the daisy book filesystem via ftp is great. 
However I believed the functions need to be integrated into ibooks. As far as 
playing back encrypted content their are tools to help with this process. 
Personally it would be easier to read all my content on an ipad. If one could 
download and acquire daisy bos that woild be wonderful.k

Sounds great and at such a low price too (don't think I will be buying a victor 
stream now).  tHIS ftp thing, is there no way you could add support for iDisk 
for those of us who have it?  That might be much easier then establishing a FTP 
connection.

Seems like this year might be the start of many good accessible apps for the 
iPhone

Is there anything on the iPhone that reads MS Word documents via VoiceOver?

Re: entering passwords again?

[Erik Heil]

Hi,
I've experienced something similar while in certain applications.  What
happens is that it appears taht the Text Edit Box for some reason isn't
getting focus.  I'm not sure if this helps you or not, but just figured
taht I would give it a spin as far as ideas are concerned.

Re: Terminal question, magicjack issue

[Erik Heil]

Hi. Normally, you can enclose directory names in quotes. Then, you can use tab 
completion. You may have to clean it up a bit (Zsh is much better with it's two 
completion modules).

Re: RFBD Download Manager

[Erik Heil]

The download manager fine, but you need to be aware of the amount of disk it 
uses. If your home directory is contained on a small filesystem, you might run 
out of space on that filesystem. If you plan to store a lot of books, you may 
consider storing the books on an external disk and just mounting the filesystem 
when you need access to it. Also, nas is good, if you have multiple machines.

Re: iOS 4.3.2: New Software Keyboard Rotor Option

I don't have an iPhone, but I'd assume they both would have the option. Then 
again, maybe not, due to the size of the iPad.

Re: IPad II thoughts

In certain forms, you can move from form to form using the next and previous

Re: something like pdf2txt on the mac?

[Erik Heil]

Hi. 
What's preventing you from building pdf2txt from source? I'm pretty sure it'll 
build cleanly under OSS. Thanks to gnu autoconf and friends. If you're not 
comfortable with building from sources, the fink project may have what you 
want. By default, it installs stuff under /opt/sw. So if you ever don't want 
fink software, it's easy to just rm -f the whole tree, and no more fink stuff 
on your machine. Also, no conflicts with binaries or libraries shipped with 
OSS. So no potential for broken software or tools.

Re: issue with Mojave

[Erik Heil]

Hello there,
Well, this issue normally can be addressed if you simply restart voiceover. I 
have experienced this with a new operating system. Not sure if this is related 
to what you are having, but when I did restart voiceover, it again did resume 
normal typing echo within the text edit field.

Re: iPadOS

[Erik Heil]

Hello there
Well certainly, The new iPad iOS does have a lot to offer new iPads. However, 
dance your question, I believe there are two ways to get this done, i.e. and 
boss braille. However, work to do this is ongoing. I’m not sure, but if iPadOS 
runs in implementation of CUPs, that shouldn’t be very hard to do. If you have 
a custom PPD filter written for the printer, this actually can be done. 
However, printers now do you have Wi-Fi support, so this in fact it may be 
easier. What I’m worried about is the translation of braille documents. And I’m 
not sure as to what capabilities the iPadOS actually has to handle that.

Re: How to choose a Wi-Fi network in recovery mode

[Erik Heil]

Hello,
OK, here is the quick answer.  If you have previously connected to WiFi
before, and your Mac is in range of one of them, it will connect to it.
Basically what you have is a stripped-down version of MacOS, so connecting
to other WiFi networks is a simple solution using the menus.  I at least
hope this helps you a little bit.
