Re: First steps into using iPhone for orientation

Hello Andrew, The accuracy of any GPS app depends on the visibility of the satellites to the iPhone. You’ll never get anything much better than 10 metres and often it’s no where near that. I suggest that once your GPS solution has told you that you’ve arrived, you use Seeing AI to look at the

Re: OMG, I can't believe I fixed it!

I’m still using Sierra, but for years now I’ve had two keyboards configured on my Mac since French uses so many different accents. I’ve never had a problem switching keyboards and the French layout has never interfered with the functioning of any keys. Cheers, Anne > On 5 Jul 2018, at

Re: First steps into using iPhone for orientation

A good bone conduction headset would be ideal, as it doesn't interfere with environmental sounds. I haven't checked whether there are Bluetooth-capable models available though. Has anyone here tried Microsoft Soundscape? If so, I would be interested in comments. I've downloaded it, but I

Another option worth testing (and I haven't), is the PDF reader included in Google Chrome. It seems to be reasonably accessible under Microsoft Windows, but I'm yet to try it on the mac. I find that Google Chrome for Mac is very accessible with VoiceOver in general. On 7/4/18, 22:06, "Jessica

First steps into using iPhone for orientation

Hi, I know from many previous posts that many of you have been using your iPhone to orient yourselves around unfamiliar environments, including finding doorways, shops, businesses etc. I’m in this position now that I have to be able to find a a particular doorway/entrance, in a row of

Re: OMG, I can't believe I fixed it!

No, I never got around to looking at the keyboard. I'm pretty comfortable entering diacritics with the accent key on the US keyboard, so I probably won't play with the Spanish one again till I have some time on my hands. Cheers, Donna > On Jul 5, 2018, at 2:18 PM, 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries >

Re: OMG, I can't believe I fixed it!

Taking a break from housework. I removed Spanish from Languages and Regions. Interesting that it was still in Keyboard prefs so removed that too. Now the text input menu is as it was before. Have you looked at the character viewer in that menu? Might be easier than having more than one

Re: OMG, I can't believe I fixed it!

Donna, I was curious so I went to Languages and Regions and added Spanish. This also added the Spanish keyboard in Keyboard preferences. Then I went to menu extras and could not find the text input menu. That is because it changed to US which is still my preferred language. So this is
