Donna, I tried one of these a while back but it wasn't exactly a good fit for me. However, if I'm remembering right, have you tried typing the number sign, then regular letters, a for #1, b for #2, etc. You don't use computer braille numbers here. I may still have some notes I took buried somew

>From the manual: 3.8. Numbers Press 3,4,5,6 first. This is to create a distinction between typing letters and numbers. Then, button 1 on the Hable One gives number one. Button 1 and 2 gives number two and so on. You might notice, these are in the same order as alphabets. To go back to typing a

Hi, Pete, I tried that, with no results. I’m obviously missing something, but I have no idea what. I’m thinking it may not be a good fit for me either. I was interested in it, because I thought that with our travel to Europe this summer it could come in really handy. But so far I’m not loving

Hi Donna, My biggest reason for not hanging onto the Hable was that I'm much more used to doing as much typing as possible with QWERTY keyboards. Almost immediately after I got my first iPhone I picked up an Apple wireless keyboard that I use when I'm in my home office and need to type, I conne

Hi Pete, I’ll be there for six weeks, so I’m definitely taking my Brailliant. And that may just be my device. But I was thinking that an Hable could be really handy on the flights there and back. It’s a long flight, so having a device that tiny on the plane would be super convenient if it wor

Of course you can always directly input the passcode from the keypad. I've done this also with my Brailliant. From E.T.'s Keyboard... "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." -Helen Keller My e-Mail: ancient.ali...@icloud.com On 2/23/2024 11:04 AM, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisi

True, but I was hoping to be able to wake the phone and enter the password without taking the phone out of my purse. Airplane seats are so tiny these days that the less maneuvering one has to do, the better. Cheers, Donna > On Feb 23, 2024, at 1:20 PM, 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > >

You can definitely enter your password without taking the phone out of your pocket or purse. Since I got the Hable I very rarely need to touch my phone. That is one of the things I love most about the Hable. I can keep my phone out of sight and still interact with it. Earle Zwicker Sent from

This is how I enter my password using the Hable. I unlock the phone by holding down the letter h on the Hable. This is the home command. At this point you should be on the lock screen. My iPhone uses face ID, so I need to do the home command a couple of times until it says enter password. I then
