Mark on Echo

Hello Everyone, Well, today I went over to Best Buy and purchased an Amazon Echo Plus. Of course, I got the black-on-black-on-black, model. (smile). I must say that this device is a blast. The iOS Alexa app was a breeze to configure and I was up and running in a matter of minutes. Thanks

Re: Getting Voiceover on iOS to shut up

No, what the OP wanted was to stop or resume VO speaking, which is not the same as muting it. So the 2 finger tap is correct. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that we have been visited in the past. What if it were true? On 2/19/2018 10:04 PM, Dionipher Herrer

Re: How do you edit markup? e.g. html?

If my memory is correct Transmit and Coda are both written by Panic. My quick look at Coda seemed to indicate that it could access remote repositories and for editing. So, to hear you indicate that Transmit has an editor, it sounds like there is a bit of overlap between the two products. Can y

iPhones and VMNO providers

Hi all: Went to get an iPhone today, and it was a bust from AT&T. *sigh* I'm thinking about doing one of the MVNO providers that runs off the AT&T network. Anyone tried them? Rumors are they can throdle the network speeds and not all iphone features work. Sarai D Bucciarelli

Re: How do you edit markup? e.g. html?

Sorry in advance for this answer, but you never specified a platform. For serious coding, I honestly prefer NVDA on Windows with the Notepad Plus Plus text editor. Here's why. * NVDA can indicate indentation with tones, making it easy and not disruptive or chatty to know where I am in terms of

Re: UEB and other commands using the Focus new Gen on the I phone.

I find this surprising, generally I find interpretation of these patterns are related to the Screen Reader and not the braille display. Though I suppose that it is possible that VO is not recognizing the Focus but in that case I would expect more extreme issues. Did you verify everything is c

Re: How do you edit markup? e.g. html?

I usually use Textedit, though I'll also sometimes use the editor in Transmit, just because it's simple and I like it. Coda is also great. > On Feb 19, 2018, at 5:22 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote: > > Hi, > > I usually just use TextEdit in text mode, which probably doesn't help you > much. Most of t

Re: How do you edit markup? e.g. html?

Hi, I usually just use TextEdit in text mode, which probably doesn't help you much. Most of the text apps weren't particularly accessible in the past, so I just got used to making due. I'm not in the HTML coding environment enough lately to need anything else, but that's just my use-case envi

Re: How do you edit markup? e.g. html?

I have been using textedit on the Macintosh which provides very little support. I started looking at Panic's coda editor because it appears to have been installed on my work computer. I was able to review Markup code but I didn't really get a chance to experiment. I have also heard somebody re

Hi, Sorry Chuck, I'm not aware of any tutorials. That doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't any around, just that I'm not in the know yet. Most of the editing functions are under the Edit menu, and if there's a keyboard shortcut, it's indicated beside the menu item. I believe that cmd-y

Well that makes me glad I live in NZ, Pretty much all phones are unlocked If you do get a locked device it's $30 to unlock it and that's something you can do from the time you buy the device, No time line I've always got my iPhones from apple directly anyway so they are always unlocked.
