Re: AccessNote

2016-09-27 Thread E.T.

Hi Grant,
   Thanks. That synced the notes already in Dropbox which was what I 
wanted. While playing with AccessNote, changes I made apparently do not 
automatically sync unless I press that button. This is helpful. Now I 
can work in either direction.

this out and see if that works. Meanwhile I'm sure regular users of this app can provide 
additional clarification.

Thanks, Jim, for the input.

I recently purchased Writer but hadn’t started using it. Based on my negative 
experience with AccessNote, I wish that I had started using Writer earlier. I 
am usually reluctant to criticize an app in a public forum, preferring instead 
to first see if the problem isn’t at my end, i.e. that I am missing something 
basic.

Anyway, thanks for the tip about using Writer.  I’ll start using it today.

Mike

Frustration with AccessNote

2016-01-22 Thread Mike Busboom
Hello.

The American Foundation for the Blind created a simple wordprocessing program 
called AccessNote, and this is the app to which my subject line is referring.

Yesterday, I spent several hours taking some notes on a book I was reading, and 
to do this, I used AccessNote.

Unfortunately, I lost all of my work and can’t figure out how this happened.

I read the manual a couple of times, but I never encountered a section where 
saving files is discussed.  In the past, I have “saved” files by renaming my 
title.

So here are my questions:

1. How does one go about saving files.  In order to forestall a similar 
frustration in the future, I’d like to be able to save my work every ten 
minutes or so.

2.  Is there any way to recover “lost” files?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Re: AccessNote

2013-02-05 Thread Annie Skov Nielsen
Hi.

I just hope that there will be developed much more on this program. It is a 
great app, but with some serious problems too. The price is ok for me, but with 
such a price for an app, you need to continue with the development, I remember 
indaisy, we paid so much for the app, suddenly it was taken of the shelf, only 
an example.

I will contact the developer of accessnote, to point out some difficulties in 
the app, and then I hope there will be done some further development.

I have not found other apps in which you can search for text, that is an 
enormous advantage.

Best regards Annie.

Hi Gi Gi.

Drop ghox is free. You download the App from the App Store. You then go to Drop 
Box.com on your Mac and download it after creating an account or logging in if 
you have one. If could sink notes to the Cloud then that would be orsome but 
Apple again keep control of their software.

I haven't seen accessnote and i think the price tag is outrageous just to test 
and probably diss the product. What i for the life of me can not understand and 
probably never going to get an answer to is this: Why do we blind people so 
want to get back to the isolated state we were in before the IPhone? Why do we 
want to get back to being in the hands of people who make apps that are badly 
coded, lacks the most common features and often, though admittedly not always 
is a downright insult of our inteligence and to a ridiculous price when other 
apps exist that work? Is it because we've talked to the developers of apps and 
haven't got positive responses quickly enough? Is it that we lack the knowledge 
to tell the developers what we want? I don't know, the only thing i know is 
what i remember from when this list started, and how it has developed up to 
now. I also know i'm going to get flamed to bits for saying this, it's just 
that i think it needs to be said. Not that it matters, i am only one voice and 
one voice can be ignored, and i may even be wrong altogether in what i feel, so

Hi Kawal and others:


For my way of thinking, I say forget Word for the iPhone and let's AFB to do 
more with the program they just put out. I think I'm really going to like this 
AccessNote program, especially if AFB can figure out a way to start selection 
at the point user designated and then end it, also user designated. I also 
would like the option of syncing with the Cloud and not just Drop Box. I know 
they would have to talk Asple into that, but I can wish. What I really wan is 
brf files because it appears that ;this program takes out the carriage returns 
some of us have been wanting to get rid of when using a braille display. In 
fact, I am even considering whether or not it would work to change the 
extension to a brf file to txt so that you could get a brf file easily onto the 
iPhone or any other IOS device.

Currently, what I don't have is Drop Box set up on my iPhone. Someone may have 
answered this at some point, but I can't remember. How much does it cost to 
have Drop Box?

Regards,
Gigi

RE: AccessNote

2013-02-04 Thread David Tanner
I think that at present many folks may think that this app is over priced,
but if AFB comes through with the additional features that they have implied
that they will then I think that it will be a very good app for a lots of
folks.  One thing that I think folks are forgetting is that they have built
into this app a level of navigation of your document that is not possible
with other note apps in iOS.  That can be particularly helpful when using a
Braille display or Bluetooth keyboard.

I can ask another question, why is Braille touch 20 dollars in the US and
ovfor £10 in the UK? I do think  it cheeky as we're only downloading
software and it not being physical software.

Re: AccessNote Press Release

2013-02-02 Thread Danny Noonan
I actually payed for this app despite it's highly over priced nature and I'm 
surprised to say, it's quite good. I wish other apps on iOS bothered to have 
hot keys on bluetooth devices. I'd love iOS mail to have a reply, reply all, 
forward and even better, next previous message. It'd go such a long way to 
making the device more computer like and useful IMO.

The AccessNote needs some tweaking, extra functionality etc but for a new 
product, it does what it is meant to and I'm going to find it useful as of 
Monday when I start up my Business admin course.

I wish I didn't have to pay $20.99AUD for the app but what it gives is pretty 
unique. A word of warning for BT keyboard users though, don't bother trying to 
get keyboard shortcuts from the AppleVis podcast as most of them are wrong. All 
can be found in the short and succinct documentation in the app.

 Please, help us get the word out about this new tool available to those with 
 vision loss…
  
 New American Foundation for the Blind App Helps People with Vision Loss 
 Easily Take Notes on iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod touch®
  
 New York (February 1, 2013)—For the millions of Americans with vision loss 
 looking for a simple, convenient way to take notes at work, at school, or at 
 home, the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) today launched the 
 AccessNote™, a specialized notetaker for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
  
 “Apple products have earned high points from us for their out-of-the-box 
 accessibility for users who are blind or visually impaired,” said Carl R. 
 Augusto, AFB president and CEO. “We designed this app to complement the 
 iPhone’s other popular features, like web browsing and email, so that users 
 who are blind have all the tools they need in one, handy device.”
  
 A traditional notetaker is a portable electronic device that enables users 
 who are blind or visually impaired to take notes, create documents, and 
 access applications. These devices, extremely valuable for people who are 
 blind or visually impaired, usually provide either speech or braille output 
 (or both).  They retail for upwards of $2,000 and much more for those with a 
 built-in braille display; AFB’s AccessNote app is available for $19.99.
  
 In addition to being a low-cost alternative to traditional notetakers, 
 AccessNote allows users to combine efficient notetaking with many other 
 features and functions of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This allows 
 people who are blind or visually impaired to use the same popular devices 
 that their sighted peers are using in classroom or business settings.
  
 This is the first notetaking app developed and designed specifically for 
 users with vision loss. AFB evaluated many of the other available notetaking 
 apps, but found none to be very efficient or user-friendly to people who are 
 blind or visually impaired.
 
 What sets the AccessNote apart includes:
 
 Seamless Navigation. Customized keyboard commands make notetaking more 
 intuitive and productive than ever before, including quick access to 
 important features like Search All Notes, Search Within a Note, as well as 
 several navigation options.
 Automatic Saving. With an automatic save on every few keystrokes, notes will 
 never be lost.
 Cursor tracking. When navigating among multiple sets of notes, users can 
 always pick up right where they left off.
 Unparalleled Simplicity. With a clutter-free interface, users can create, 
 read, find, and sync, making it easier to spend more time with actual 
 content and less time with tools.
 DropBox Integration. All notes, always on hand. DropBox keeps AccessNote in 
 sync with the user’s desktop (and other devices) so their notes are always 
 available and backed up.
 Compatibility with Bluetooth keyboards. AccessNote is optimized for 
 efficiency with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and for today’s wireless braille 
 displays.
  
 AccessNote was developed in conjunction with FloCo Apps and is available on 
 the App Store(sm).

Dcheree Heppe here:
The mail on my IOS devices has the features you say you are missing.  IOS 
interfaces seem much more directly interactive than older keystroke driven  
platforms.
Expansion in IOS should open files exchange and editing while leaving behind 
the clumsiest of the corded, multi key input.  With IOS, such should not be 
necessary.
IOS is the next wave.

The Functionality is on the phone. What I was trying to  say is  I would like 
keyboard commands for such functions like AccessNote has so command r for reply 
etc. there are already navigation text selection copy cut and paste keyboard 
commands built into iOS so why not other such keyboard commands built in as 
well.  Commands like command n for new could work in many apps including third 
party ones. 

Yes, note takers obviously cost more. This is an app though and although it 
does have some very nice features such as the fore mentioned keyboard 
shortcuts, as far as the price of apps compared to features this app Is on the 
high side. 

All this said, I didn't mind paying the price and I do to a point understand 
the limited market virses the make it up in volume argument.

 shortcuts, as far as the price of apps compared to features this app Is on 
 the high side. 
 
 All this said, I didn't mind paying the price and I do to a point understand 
 the limited market virses the make it up in volume argument. 
 
 Kind regards,
 Danny.

 Hi there
 I'm a little confused here. I have the reply forward, replh, reply all,  
 forward and all that on my iPhone. Also, when you consider the price of note 
 takers, this app is cheap. So, what is it you say you are missing?
 Regards
 Gigi

 I actually payed for this app despite it's highly over priced nature and 
 I'm surprised to say, it's quite good. I wish other apps on iOS bothered to 
 have hot keys on bluetooth devices. I'd love iOS mail to have a reply, 
 reply all, forward and even better, next previous message. It'd go such a 
 long way to making the device more computer like and useful IMO.
 
 The AccessNote needs some tweaking, extra functionality etc but for a new 
 product, it does what it is meant to and I'm going to find it useful as of 
 Monday when I start up my Business admin course.
 
 I wish I didn't have to pay $20.99AUD for the app but what it gives is 
 pretty unique. A word of warning for BT keyboard users though, don't bother 
 trying to get keyboard shortcuts from the AppleVis podcast as most of them 
 are wrong. All can be found in the short and succinct documentation in the 
 app.

 Please, help us get the word out about this new tool available to those 
 with vision loss…
  
 New American Foundation for the Blind App Helps People with Vision Loss 
 Easily Take Notes on iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod touch®
  
 New York (February 1, 2013)—For the millions of Americans with vision 
 loss looking for a simple, convenient way to take notes at work, at 
 school, or at home, the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) today 
 launched the AccessNote™, a specialized notetaker for the iPhone, iPad, 
 and iPod touch.
  
 “Apple products have earned high points from us for their out-of-the-box 
 accessibility for users who are blind or visually impaired,” said Carl R. 
 Augusto, AFB president and CEO. “We designed this app to complement the 
 iPhone’s other popular features, like web browsing and email, so that 
 users who are blind have all the tools they need in one, handy device.”
  
 A traditional notetaker is a portable electronic device that enables 
 users who are blind or visually impaired to take notes, create documents, 
 and access applications. These devices, extremely valuable for people who 
 are blind or visually impaired, usually provide either speech or braille 
 output (or both).  They retail for upwards of $2,000 and much more for 
 those with a built-in braille display; AFB’s AccessNote app is available 
 for $19.99.
  
 In addition to being a low-cost alternative to traditional notetakers, 
 AccessNote allows users to combine efficient notetaking with many other 
 features and functions of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This allows 
 people who are blind or visually impaired to use the same popular devices 
 that their sighted peers are using in classroom or business settings.
  
 This is the first notetaking app developed and designed specifically for 
 users with vision loss. AFB evaluated many of the other available 
 notetaking apps, but found none to be very efficient or user-friendly to 
 people who are blind or visually impaired.
 
 What sets the AccessNote apart includes:
 
 Seamless Navigation. Customized keyboard commands make notetaking more 
 intuitive and productive than ever before, including quick access to 
 important features like Search All Notes, Search Within a Note, as well 
 as several navigation options

 Automatic Saving. With an automatic save on every few keystrokes, notes will 
 never be lost.
 Cursor tracking. When navigating among multiple sets of notes, users can 
 always pick up right where they left off.
 Unparalleled Simplicity. With a clutter-free interface, users can create, 
 read, find, and sync, making it easier to spend more time with actual content 
 and less time with tools.
 DropBox Integration. All notes, always on hand. DropBox keeps AccessNote in 
 sync with the user’s desktop (and other devices) so their notes are always 
 available and backed up.
 Compatibility with Bluetooth keyboards. AccessNote is optimized for 
 efficiency with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and for today’s wireless braille 
 displays.
  
 AccessNote was developed in conjunction with FloCo Apps and is available on 
 the App Store(sm).
