Hello Mark, I have used Lazarillo on IOS for a while and until recently it was my favourite GPS App. However I have now switched to the 24 July 2020 version of the free GPS App Nearby Explorer Online on IOS. This is better than Lazarillo in several ways: - It does a much better job on approach

That does sound really great. Just like Mobile GEO which use to run on a windows phone using Mobile Speak Pocket in the good old days. It was a code factory product. I’ll download it then at some point. Thanks for that. Kawal. > On 5 Aug 2020, at 18:54, Paul Hopewell wrote: > > Hello Kawa

Focus 40 Braille display

Hi all, My VU is having what I suspect is a hardware issue, so in preparation for the day when it gives up the ghost, I'm again researching braille displays. Though I'm not enthusiastic about it, it seems like the best second choice--given that I lack the $$ for an ActiveBraille--is going to be

Thanx for sharing this. I loved Mobile Geo back in the day, sense it was very precise when naming street names, intersections, etc, but I’ve had yet to find something that even comes close to that. I’ve loved Blindsquare and the like, but found its accuracy to not be as good, and would try to

Hi Tracy, I hear you! I've always loved the idea of having a braille display with a qwerty keyboard to use with my phone or iPad Not thrilled about the price, but I don't think you can get 40 cells for less. The Focus is actually $500 more. Cheers, Donna > On Aug 5, 2020, at 2:14 PM, Traci Dun

Hi Donna. I never said it was difficult to pair the display on a Mac, I’m just saying that the commands are very difficult to use i.e. they’re not as simple as iOS. That is how I see it at the moment. > On 5 Aug 2020, at 8:08 pm, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Thanks, Kawa

Hi Mary, I've already signed up for the Mantis email list. I'm not too optimistic about it, as I've never been a fan of Humanware, but we'll see. Happily, it looks like I may be able to arrange a demo of the QBraille. It's on the expensive end of things, but I would sure like to see any of the

Re: Focus 40 Braille display

Hi Donna, Good luck with the cube rail. I had one as a demo right after it came out, and the software was bad. It really didn’t work with voiceover, which was a massive problem for me. I understand it is much better now. It’s still just seems kind of clunky, the way you interact with it in terms

Hi my name is Joe and I work at APH in quality assurance. To answer your question no the Orbit writer won’t connect the same way. The reason the Mantis does and also our Chameleon does is the new hid standard. Thats the standard Microsoft apple and others worked on. Its still new and I believe c

Re: Mantis Q40?

The QBraille input also connects through the standard Bluetooth because it works as a standard QWERTY keyboard. The braille output connects through the braille display section in VoiceOver settings. Is this similar to the Mantis arrangement? Kind regards, David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA On 6

The main difference between the Q Braille is that your having to connect twice. The Mantis you only connect once and you get the bluetooth and Braille Display its the beauty of the new hid standard. > On Aug 5, 2020, at 7:07 PM, David Chittenden wrote: > > The QBraille input also connects thro
