Subject: A bit OT, New Fire 7" tablet

OK, Apple Fan Girl forever and all, but I can’t resist a bargain and I got 
one of those bottom of the range Fire tablets for GBP60 including case and 
SD card so I thought it would do for places I wouldn’t want to take a nice 
Apple thing.


I have managed to plug it in to charge, but now I’m a bit stuck. I realise I 
will have to get a sighted person to switch speech on, but does anyone know 
of any resources I could check out? My MBP is refusing to read me the 
on-line instruction thing, no doubt on grounds of good taste.


BTW, I know it’s only cheap, but my goodness me, what a difference even in 
the packaging from Apple.

Hi Adrienne,

I couldn't find any resources, either. I ended up researching Talkback 
generally and VoiceView specifically, and I just learned on my own.

Since this is off topic, I'll just get you started by saying that to enable 
VoiceView, press and hold the power button until you hear the piano tones, as 
if you were going to power off the unit. Then, release the power button and 
press and hold two fingers on the screen, placed slightly apart, until 
VoiceView is enabled. You will have to hold your fingers in place for several 
seconds.
Once VoiceView is enabled, you'll be taken through a tutorial to help you learn 
the gestures, and more help is available under the accessibility section of the 
Fire's settings.

Be prepared for a learning curve. Precision and speed are key when executing 
the gestures, whereas iOS is more forgiving. You'll need patience and practice, 
but you'll get it.

Thanks, moderators. I realize I've pushed the envelope.


Cheryl
Rejoice always! Pray continually. Give thanks in everything,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
