the voice thing you can just not use. as for what you spend and on what that is a very personal thing, but imo. the tactile scroll for me is worth the price increase, and with it you don’t miss those four cells just when reading. On Apr 11, 2019, at 7:40 PM, Mary Otten wrote: I wonder what ver

I was given a demonstration of Handytech displays a few years ago. Like others in the discussion, I appreciated the Active Tactile Control feature which enables auto-scrolling. However, I found that the sensitivity level had to be adjusted to the maximum for this to work reliably. The sensors s

Hi! I think the bluetooth issue can be fixed by turning off Voiceover and try to pair it with the Windows vm again. But i am not sure. I have the same issue with Linux and my display in Vmware. Not with windows. /A > 11 apr. 2019 kl. 16:26 skrev Pete De Vasto : > > I, too, have an Actilino, and

OK, so now I am kind of confused. Let’s say you’re reading a Kindle book, or a book in voice dream reader. Would the auto scroll work so that you moved seamlessly from page to page in the book? I mean, how does it actually communicate with the phone in order to tell the phone to keep moving if i

it doesn’t work on the apple side, but you activate it on the display itsself, and it works beautifully. it’s 16 but the small size doesn’t matter to me the autoscroll is so good. On Apr 11, 2019, at 10:32 AM, Mary Otten wrote: That is interesting about the auto scroll. I had evidently mistake

That is interesting about the auto scroll. I had evidently mistaken idea that auto scroll did not work on Apple devices like a Mac or an eye device. That’s a 20 cell unit, correct? Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 11, 2019, at 7:26 AM, Pete De Vasto wrote: > > I, too, have an Actilino, and I am

I, too, have an Actilino, and I am quite pleased with it. It replaced an older Braillino that unexpectedly just stopped working about two years ago. The only down side I’ve noticed is that, when connected to my Mac mini, I can’t seem to get my VMware Fusion machines to see it. For some reason, V

I freaking love my actilino for one simple reason. it has tactile scrolling. if mine broke tomorrow and it couldn’t be repaired I’d buy another. I got mine used for an awesome price a year ago, and have never looked back. My VU is in a box! if you enable tactile scrolling it moves to the next li
