A great gift idea for blind iDevice enthusiasts
Hi all, I hope the moderator won't mind me drawing the groups attention to a really quirky iDevice related gift that I purchased for myself as a bit of a late Christmas present. To be clear, I have absolutely no relationship with the company at all - I'm only posting about it because I think it would be a great gift idea, particularly for blind people. Grid Studio are a company that create framed art pieces out of old iPhones and some other devices. Their creations are actually great examples of how art can still be accessible to those of us with no useful vision as by their very nature they're incredibly tactile. Additionally, since the company dismantle the phones before framing them, they end up turning into far more interesting pieces to feel than you'd get if you just stuck an old, unmodified iPhone in a frame. I've purchased their framed 4S ad 6 and honestly couldn't be happier. https://www.gridstudio.cc A few things to bear in mind: The frames ship from China. It's not a speedy service in relation to what we're used to today by any stretch of the imagination so if you need one quickly, I'd suggest you look elsewhere. I ordered mine on the 8th of February and they arrived in the UK on the 28th. By default a plastic board is installed in the frame to protect the components, but if you leave it installed you won't be able to feel any of them. It is however very easy to remove and the frame can be reassembled without it installed without issue. Each component is labelled in print. With a bit of creative thinking and potentially some help from someone with some useful vision, there should be enough space surrounding the components for braille labels to be added if you wish. The website's a little tricky to use. I was able to complete my order using NVDA and Firefox however. I should probably also point out that their frames aren't what most people would class as cheap but this didn't really bother me. I can't remember the last time I purchased a piece of art for myself (I'm not sure I ever have), but what ultimately pushed me over the edge was that they're something that I'll actually be able to get some enjoyment out of, instead of just making my flat more interesting for sighted guests. I hope someone found this useful. Cheers, Ben. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: another orbit/iPhone question
Hi Richard, I have turned off auto capitalization in settings, and it is as you describe. For example, it might write the word where as a divided word with capital letters randomly placed in the word. I might write for 20 minutes without a problem, and suDisenly have several capitilized words in a row. It's all random. So I can't really duplicate the problem. > On Feb 28, 2022, at 5:32 PM, Richard Turner > wrote: > > What you are describing sounds like the auto translate is getting in your > way. > > By chance are the capitals often letters that if written alone would be > capped, like I or O? > > I've not noticed the auto capitalization setting in General Keyboard to > impact braille displays, but that may be worth checking too. > > > Richard > > > My web site; https://www.turner42.com/ > > -Original Message- > From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Duane > Steele > Sent: Monday, February 28, 2022 8:27 AM > To: viphone@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: another orbit/iPhone question > > HERE's an Orbit update.

RE: another orbit/iPhone question
What you are describing sounds like the auto translate is getting in your way. By chance are the capitals often letters that if written alone would be capped, like I or O? I've not noticed the auto capitalization setting in General Keyboard to impact braille displays, but that may be worth checking too.

Re: (Attn: Mickey) Accessibility issue with the Alexa app:
Hello Donna: Thank you so much for this tip. I forgot that I had asked you for that so thank you for sending that to me and I’m so happy that I found this today. I saved it in the notes so that I can do this when I get a chance. Again thanks a lot! These tips should be somewhere I don’t know where so that’s why I’m trying to save all these in a note.
