Alex, thank you for the link. I went ahead and read the article and I found some interesting things. first off I need to ask someone what does the Apex have in BT capabilities that the Voice sense does not. I have been sitting here for 15 minutes trying to get my iPhone 4 to find my voice sense via BT. the article says that they connected to his iPhone via BT and controlled his iPhone. I want to do this but it will not work on my voice sense.. can someone tell me this. second the article talks about touch typing. does anyone have this enabled? if so how do you do so? where is it located? thanks.

I know this is somewhat off-topic for this list, but I am hoping that it will prompt gwm to look into getting their notetakers supported by iOS as well. Below the quote from the article is the link to the whole thing. Braille support has been a long desired addition to VoiceOver on mobile devices. With iOS 4 you can now, with relative ease, add a portable Bluetooth Braille display. I tried it this morning with the BrailleNote Apex and, barring the usual Bluetooth shenanigans (I had to pair without a PIN, then do it again with one), it was up and running quickly. I was able to read, control VO, and perform text entry from the Apex keyboard. It wasn't entirely clear to me how much contracted entry was supported. Sometimes it appeared that I could enter in contracted Braille, sometimes I got odd results, it may depend on how much time is taken between entering, for example, 'P' and another letter before the device assumes you are entering "people". The addition of Braille is an incredibly exciting advance and many users will certainly benefit from it. http://www.nfb.org/nfb/Access_Technology_Blog.asp -- Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from GMail website) [email protected]; http://www.facebook.com/mehgcap If you wish to unsubscribe from this list, visit: http://www.gwmicro.com/listserv If you wish to unsubscribe from this list, visit: http://www.gwmicro.com/listserv
