Guys,
Considering ditching the iMac and getting a Mac Mini. I know you can use them
without a display, but it’s useful to have one in case of the need of being
rescued by a sighted person etc.
As I am totally blind, I know nothing about displays. Can anyone advise the
least specs I can get awa

Hello Adrienne,
When I got my Mac Mini, I wondered about the same issue. I decided that
because a display wasn't going to get a lot of focus on it, I went with
the lease expensive model I could find that had an HDMI connection. I
ended up spending about $100.00 for an LG model.

Hi Janina,
All I can say is wow, and thank you! Thank you for putting yourself through

Dear Group,
I am using Mac OS Monterey.
Today I opened my CheckBook Pro app and to my surprise, It was showing my last

I guess there was a iCloud sync problem between my Big Sur & my Monterey.
So I have a Time Machine backup from January 22, 2023.

Hi!
Well dictation on the Apple Watch is a hit or miss thing.
It seems for me that it sometimes work and sometimes not.
I’ve given it up for a while now but maybe I should do feedback report since I
am on the beta of watchOS.
Bless.

I tried Dave’s suggestion of using the two-finger double tap, and that didn’t
work either. I’d send a feedback report, but I’m not sure whether it’s a bug,
or a result of the fact that I’m still using a series 6.
Cheers,
Donna

Donna, Perhaps you first need to engage the edit field with a single finger
double tap. Then when it says “edit” or indices the beginning or end of the
edit field, then the to-finger double tap will allow dictation. Second
to-finger double tap will halt dictation and enter text into that edit fi

Hi Dave,
I did do that, and dictation did activate. But it only captured two of the
approximately 20 words I spoke.

Currently I have the Drafts app for iOS and iPadOS. The main feature
I like about this app is it opens directly to the text area. But right
now it opens to a prompt to go premium.
So am curious to know if there is another app like that that is free
and does not have prompts to go premium
For the Mac, I generally just use TextEdit and it works fine for me. I also
like to use the Notes app for keeping quick notes I want to refer back to later.
For programming I use PHPStorm. But not sure the type of editor you’re looking
for.

Not even close to what I want but I did neglect to state that I want
a plain text editor.

Hi ET,
I have a program on my iPhone and iPad called text editor, and it is just that.
A simple text editor. I can’t remember what it cost. But I don’t think it was
horribly expensive.
HTH,

OK, I believe all you have to do is make sure your capitalization is correct. I
use VO’s copy last spoken phrase to the clipboard.
You might need to turnoff the speaking of help text hints since these are
separate phrases of text.

OK, two completely different questions about Time Machine.

THe translation app could be used in a pinch. Just set both languages to
English-US . Or even the mail app just keep a draft at the bottom and don’t put
any recipients in the to or cc fields.
That being said, I am sure there are some simple text editing applications for
the IOS platform.

Alternatively, I have a keyboard shortcut set up to open text edit on the Mac. For me, that shortcut is right option D. You could do something similar. Have a Shortcuts set up to open TextEdit and then hit command end to open a new document. I realize it isn’t quite as seamless as what you are look

Textedit is the way to go. Simple and pre-installed with Mac OS.

Well, the app I mentioned earlier Text Editor is an IOS app. When you open it,
it defaults to a list of recent files. However, you could leave it open with a
blank document up, so you could quickly get into it and have people type to you.
Best,

Donna,
Now we are getting somewhere. I already have the app so after giving
it some thought, I created a new document in iCloud Drive. Then
connecting my braille display to the iPad, opened the app and was in
that folder. This will work quite well. Thanks much for the suggestion. :)

Glad we finally came up with a good solution for you!

What app do you use for the terminal? I tried ISH and VoiceOver seems
sluggish. Also, I remember trying Nano with it and had trouble figuring out
where my cursor was using VoiceOver.

vim is my preference for Terminal but I only use it for small editing tasks,
like writing commit messages for git, or quickly looking through a text file.

Voice Dream Writer app opens into the last text file used. I leave it with a file open with just one blank space, so it is ready for action. The app is designed for Blind folk to edit text and has brilliant features. HarryOn 30 Jan 2023, at 00:39, Jonathan C. Cohn wrote:THe translation app could
