Hi, I have an 10.5 iPad which I don't use a lot, but I want to use it more. So far I have used it for work-related stuff. Testing the accessibility of web applications and the like.
I don't have a keyboard or braille display connected to the iPad yet. I am interested in which keyboard case you got from Amazon since I have been considering getting one as well. I have used zoom on the ipad, although since my team likes to use zoom with video, I used my iPhone recently because it was easier to hold up than the iPad. Hope this helps. Stay safe!
