Hello all, I'm working with a client who has never touched a computer and does not type at all, nor do they use braille. Therefore, we're starting on an iPad, because of the easy dictation, ability to touch the screen to explore it, and so on. One difficulty is orientation on the screen. We're using the home button as a reference, but that's not as good as having markers on the screen, of course. My question is about Speed Dots screen protectors. I've never used one, so I don't know if they would work. I know what they do, but with iOS, things aren't always in the same place. For instance, the prompt to enter your passcode when TouchID isn't an option has a whole different number pad than the prompt to provide your passcode for an update, and entering a phone number on the iPad actually presents the numbers keyboard, not a phone-like layout at all. This client isn't using the keyboard, at least not yet, so having dots on the keys won't be too helpful right now, but could be in the future. And yet, some people find having reference dots helpful, so I'm not sure what to suggest. For those who have used, or currently use, Speed Dots, are they really helpful? Do the dots help even if they can be placed incorrectly for the current application? Has anyone found it easier to just toss some tactile dots on a screen protector, exactly where you want them? Thanks for any thoughts on this. -- Alex Hall -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
