Mac for the Blind Fall 2023 Online Courses Announcement

[Kliph]

Mac for the Blind is proud to announce the continuation of the online courses 
series!

If you would prefer not to receive these updates in the future, please 
respond to me directly and I will remove your email address from my list.

Please pass this announcement along to as many people or lists as you feel 
would benefit from this information.

After the success with the previous online courses and requests from 
several people, I will be conducting five more classes into the middle of 
December. I’m going to be doing things a little differently this time around, 
however. These courses will be a five part series all involving VoiceOver and 
the Mac that will be geared for people who might be seriously considering the 
purchase of a Mac, people who are just getting started with their Mac, or users 
who are experienced but want to sure up their knowledge. The first course will 
be free to everyone, but the four subsequent sessions will be $20.00 to 
register separately with a $70.00 cost for those who would like to register for 
all four paid courses at once. You can, of course, pick and choose what courses 
you prefer, but understand that I will be teaching the material in a series 
with the assumption that participants have been exposed to the previous 
sessions. Again, these will all be held via Zoom in the same manner as the 
previous courses with the Zoom links being sent directly to you when the course 
date approaches..

Please click on the link below for specific details and instructions. Read 
the information carefully, and note that even if you are choosing the free 
course, you will still be adding the course to your shopping cart for checkout. 
You will receive a confirmation email for each course you select.

https://macfortheblind.com/?page_id=3813

I thank you in advance for your interest in the online courses and I hope 
to meet you all again in Zoom!


Take Care

RE: Pairing/Connecting Braille Display to Mac Book Air.

[etscrivani via MacVisionaries]

Thank you. I will look into it, but for now I’ve lost my patience with it. I’ll 
look into your suggestions at a later time but for now I need to walk away from 
it.

Hi Eileen,

 

Yes you should be able to have more than one Braille display in your list that 
you can switch back and fourth to. I’ve got three on my phone, running iOS 16.

 

As for Brailling lowercase, go to Voiceover Settings > Braille, and look at 
Braille Input. I’ll bet it’ll say 6 dot. You can changis to 8-dot and you 
should then be able to type using dot 7 for uppercase. You might also want to 
look at Braille output to make sure that,too, is set to 8 dot. I seem to 
remember by default it’s set to 6.

 

Hope this helps,

Pete De Vasto

Hi,

 

Thanks, I was able to connect. Only issue was that I had to remove a different 
braille display that had been paired that I no longer use in order to allow the 
Brailliant 40 to connect via Bluetooth. Is it possible to have more than one 
braille display listed as a Bluetooth device? One other issue is when I tried 
typing in on the display, trying to type an  upper case letter it would not 
take. I had to type everything in lower case.

 

Thanks again.

Hi, all you need to do is go into utilities and go to voiceover utilities 
underneath that you will find options go down to braille go to the fourth tab 
which is displays and you can start the pairing process there. Please follow 
whatever your displays manual says it’s a procedure for setting up Bluetooth 
braille. I hope this helps. I have had to do this myself personally. I went 
from an old Intel MacBook Pro, to a new M2 MacBook Pro. The only issues I am 
having unfortunately is I can’t get my braille display to play along when using 
a virtual windows machine. But I have had good comments about  Mac dictation. 
Because I have a written expression disorder on top of being deaf blind. So I 
rely on braille heavily. Be well everyone. By the way, I will need to update 
the signature file. I’m going to write the best email address List to reach me

utilities and was unable to locate Braille settings/displays. I also tried

Also, does it matter that the Brailliant Bi X 40 is currently set to use with 
my Mac Book Pro? That is, it is not running at the same time I’m trying to pair

Any pointers to get me in the correct place are appreciated.

Hi all, 
I mean to ask this question and always seems to slip my mind.  Does 
anyone experience a frustrating phenomenon where you type your password 
in braille,  accidentally type an error, and are unable to even 
backspace one or more password characters. The cursor most often jumps 
back to the start of the password field, and even if you move it to the 
end, it shifts back to the beginning.  This is compounded by the hidden 
nature of password fields, where you are kind of doing detective work 
when moving your cursor character-by-character to locate the error, when 
this is an obviously simple editting task that should not be persisting 
at this stage of accessible updates.


Any suggesttions?

Re: Pairing/Connecting Braille Display to Mac Book Air.

[roni mathew]

Hello, I'd also recommend powering down and restarting the braille display itself, so it is disconnected from your Bookpro.  It can still be paired for connection, but just making sure  the display  is not waiting for the Bookpro to connect, while your Bookair is attempting to locate and pair with it.I find I have to do this with my displays when switching between several Iphones,  Iphone and IPAD, and between an iphone and android device. I don't remove the pairing on the iphone, just make sure braille display is clear of the connection, and then search for it as you might have in the past.I hope this helps. Roni MathewOn Sep 23, 2023, at 10:19 AM, etscrivani via MacVisionaries  wrote:

Re: Pairing/Connecting Braille Display to Mac Book Air.

[Maurice A. Mines]

Hi, all you need to do is go into utilities and go to voiceover utilities underneath that you will find options go down to braille go to the fourth tab which is displays and you can start the pairing process there. Please follow whatever your displays manual says it’s a procedure for setting up Bluetooth braille. I hope this helps. I have had to do this myself personally. I went from an old Intel MacBook Pro, to a new M2 MacBook Pro. The only issues I am having unfortunately is I can’t get my braille display to play along when using a virtual windows machine. But I have had good comments about  Mac dictation. Because I have a written _expression_ disorder on top of being deaf blind. So I rely on braille heavily. Be well everyone. By the way, I will need to update the signature file. I’m going to write the best email address List to reach me at. But don’t send anything to the email listed in the signature block. I will be working on updating that today.  My new persnale email  address is maur...@maurice-amines.com. My Nfb Deafbl Division email address is presidentdeafbl...@maurice-amines.com. Have a great  Saturday everyone.Sent from my iPhone. Email, mmi...@mauricemines.org  text number 661-868-9647.Fax no 661-449-3746.President, National Federation of the blind Deafblind division.

Re: Pairing/Connecting Braille Display to Mac Book Air.

['Jason J.G. White' via MacVisionaries]

VoiceOver Utility -> Braille -> Displays tab -> Add button to add a Bluetooth 
braille display.

Subject: Pairing/Connecting Braille Display to Mac Book Air.
Hi All,

I have a display that is already connected to my older MacBook Pro. Now, I want 
to connect it to a Mac Book Air running most recent version of OS. I cannot 
remember where I need to go to get this pairing done. I looked under VO 
utilities and was unable to locate Braille settings/displays. I also tried 
system preferences under Bluetooth but I was not seeing anything that sounded 
like the right setting choices.

Also, does it matter that the Brailliant Bi X 40 is currently set to use with 
my Mac Book Pro? That is, it is not running at the same time I’m trying to pair 
it with the Air, but it is setup and works correctly with the Pro when I want 
to use it there. I hope that makes sense.

Any pointers to get me in the correct place are appreciated.

Pairing/Connecting Braille Display to Mac Book Air.

[etscrivani via MacVisionaries]

Hi All,

 

I have a display that is already connected to my older MacBook Pro. Now, I
want to connect it to a Mac Book Air running most recent version of OS. I
cannot remember where I need to go to get this pairing done. I looked under
VO utilities and was unable to locate Braille settings/displays. I also
tried system preferences under Bluetooth but I was not seeing anything that
sounded like the right setting choices.

 

Also, does it matter that the Brailliant Bi X 40 is currently set to use
with my Mac Book Pro? That is, it is not running at the same time I'm trying
to pair it with the Air, but it is setup and works correctly with the Pro
when I want to use it there. I hope that makes sense.

 

Any pointers to get me in the correct place are appreciated.
