Re: BrailleTouch: Still more irritation by far!

Hi, Try left flicking with one finger to delete the last letter it typed and then start again. Sometimes when you oress one dot and then move your finger the previous dot stays down for whatever reason. I actually love the app, and have very good results with it. It really does increase spe

Re: My first question about the Braille touch.

Hi, You have to type something in order to get to the text and tweet menu. If nothing is typed the menu options aren't there. hth Tammy -Original Message- From: Kawal Gucukoglu Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 7:20 PM To: viph...@googlegroups.com Cc: macvisionaries Subject: My firs

how do I remove a mailbox from my favorites bar in apple mail?

Thanks for that, Alex. I guess it's good to know both options. For clarification, I don't need to root the mouse pointer to the VoiceOver curser with VO-CMD-F5, as I have the mouse pointer set to follow the VoiceOver curser in VoiceOver Utility. I use VO-F5, however, to check what is under the

o. t.: Microsoft Office for Mac! Important: read and leave comments!

Hi, I've used MS Office for Mac on my friends 2011 model MacBook Air when it was running Lion. I found the text area to be completely inaccessible. VoiceOver could navigate between the toolbar, menu items and the text area, but could not interact with the text area. Typing produced no results,

Re: BrailleTouch: Still more irritation by far!

Hi all I'm wondering if others are finding the response times in this app a little slow? I have it set to echo words only, and I have to wait about a second after pressing space to hear the word. I'm using an iPhone 5. Just wondering if others have noticed this. Lisette On 1/02/2013, at 7:12 P

Re: iText express.
