Re: Languages, the Orbit Reader and VoiceOver

2019-03-31 Thread Anne Robertson 
Hello Jonathan,

Thank you so much for this. I had removed Braille screen input from the rotor, 
but when I put it back and turned to that setting in the rotor, I was able to 
change both input and output to French so it should work with German for Mike.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: Languages, the Orbit Reader and VoiceOver

2019-03-30 Thread Jonathan Cohn 
I am not sure about output. For input, if you add a German keyboard to your IOS 
device in Language / Region settings, then when using the Braille onscreen 
input a two finger swipe up changes the input. I have successfully used this to 
switch between Hebrew and English. I know on the Mac, command-space can be 
mapped to switch languages, I don't know if this same keyboard combination 
works on IOS. If so, it would probably be space-1-7 followed by space to switch 
languages.

Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Hello Mike,

Annoyingly, it seems that you have to switch the iPhone language to change the 
Braille. I have a Focus 14 paired with my iPhone and I tried changing the 
VoiceOver language and the input keyboard to French, but the only Braille 
options were English language choices. I know the iPhone works fine with French 
Braille so it seems the only option is to change the iPhone language for the 
whole system.
To be fair, this doesn’t take very long, it’s just annoying.

Cheers,

Anne

Languages, the Orbit Reader and VoiceOver

2019-03-29 Thread Michael Busboom 
Hello everyone,

I recently purchased an Orbit Reader 20 and have successfully paired it with my 
iPhone.  However, I have only read material in English thus far.  If I switch 
VO to read German, will I automatically get German Braille, or do I need to 
download Braille tables from Orbit Research?  Does VO automatically output in 
German computer Braille when I switch to German from within the rotor options?

Thanks so much, and have a great weekend, all of you,

Mike
