Quik Mantis question

Hi all, I have a quick question re the Mantis. Does it give you the option for typing in Grade-2 braille, i.e. for turning a row of keys into a Perkins style keyboard? I sent this to the Mantis list, but never saw my message or any responses, so I’m posting here. Feel free to respond off-list,

Re: Quik Mantis question

Hi Donna that’s weird because someone did respond I think it was Scott but you can type with the JKLFDS in the editor by pressing F12 to enter this mode but that’s only in local mode. If connecting to a host device the host device would have to support this feature! Sent from my iPhone > On A

Re: Quik Mantis question

Hi Joseph, Thanks. I would only want to do it in local nmode, so that’s fine. Could you check on my subscription? I haven’t seen a single message from the list. TIA, Donna Sent from my iPad > On Aug 11, 2020, at 8:35 AM, joseph hodge wrote: > > Hi Donna that’s weird because someone did resp

Re: Update to Orbit Writer

Hi Candy, The thread I was talking about was on applevis.com Search for Orbit Writer and you should find it. On the Windows side of things, Ive been using Narrator. It sounds like that complicates things further with Orbit Writer. Traci > On Aug 10, 2020, at 11:03 PM, Les Kriegler wrote: >

Re: airdrop

Hi Lorie, Airdrop uses Bluetooth to do its thing, so bluetooth has to be enabled on both your Mac and your iPhone. Go to Finder. Then, press Command+Shift+R, and this will open the Airdrop window. VO to the bottom where it says “allow me to be discovered by”. There’s a popup with choices of No

Re: Update to Orbit Writer

Hi Peggy. It could be done with Narrator on Windows I expect, though I've never run an update with Nerrorator to try an update from Orbit Research. If your husband's computer is running Windows 10, Nerrorator does a decent job for things like this most of the time. You can bring up Nerrorator by pr

Re: airdrop

in the choice of noone, everyone or contacts only, which do you choose? I found something that said "me" and "Device List" but I couldn't actually find a device list. > On Aug 11, 2020, at 9:57 AM, Pete De Vasto wrote: > > Hi Lorie, > > Airdrop uses Bluetooth to do its thing, so bluetooth ha

Re: airdrop

I would choose everyone for starters. If you do Contacts, that would restrict access to only people in your Contacts. Once you choose Everyone, you should see your phone in the device list. Also, you’ll have to make sure Airdrop is available on your iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Airdrop, an

Re: Mac connected to Amazon Echo

This may sound like a stupid question, but when connecting your echo dot to your computer, do you in turn lose Alexa’s features, or are those still available to you? > On Aug 11, 2020, at 2:30 PM, Lorie McCloud wrote: > > hmmm. I'm going to have to try that. > >> On Aug 11, 2020, at 11:00 AM,

No. I don't see the message I sent, or any responses. And they're not going to my junk folder, I've checked. Cheers, Donna > On Aug 11, 2020, at 5:25 PM, joseph hodge wrote: > > Hi Donna I just got your message now you are subscribed I also saw you wrote > a message to that list Dan responded

I didn't actually talk to alexa while connected, but I'm assuming she's available. My Mac is only connected like any other Bluetooth device. HTH, Traci Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 11, 2020, at 12:48 PM, Jessica Moss wrote: > > This may sound like a stupid question, but when connecting yo
