Elements, which has no search facility, Notesy, which wouldn't open the text files I wanted to work with because I guess they were too long, and Write 2, which wouldn't speak any of my search results.

I don't know of another notes app that has a similar search function.
Yes, it's a lot of money for an app but I think it's worth it.

I have not tested the app with larger files, but I can say I do not regret

Re: access note, is it worth it?
So the final test - for now - was droptext, it did open the file, I used
Vo's edit features to select all and copy; went to access note, add, paste,
and backed out. saved as Note1 I notice, nothing to do with Moon facts,
the subject and content of the text. Sync'd, I found it in DB Ok. Opened
again in Accessnote, used readonly or whatever it was called, read down a
bit, backed out, did nothing for saving place. Not found search, or at
least, what if I didn't want to search all the files?
So that's it, still don't seem to have achieved anything from before, and
the dearest app to date.

Re: access note, is it worth it?
Hi,
I loaded a 1.3 megabyte file into AccessNote, and it didn't crash. I was able
to search the file, read from the place midway through the file where my search
term was located, move to the beginning, and move to the end. I needed to wait
a while for the file to load before working with it. Moving to either end took
probably a minute, and searching took a long time as well. I was impressed,
though, that I could read normally with my braille display when I found the
search term, with no hesitation.
Best,
Anna

larger documents, I'm speaking of documents which are longer than just
a few pages. Perhaps 30 or more.

Hi,
I think it's worth the US$20 I paid. I wrote a detailed explanation of my
reasoning on this list a couple of days ago, and I also put that review in
the app store, so I imagine it's available there by now.

Re: access note, is it worth it?
Hi,
If you want your place saved, don't use Review mode. And to do a find in the
file, use Option-F with a Bluetooth keyboard, or Dot 8 with F on a braille
display. For the braille display command to work, you have to turn contracted
mode off. Use Space with G to toggle Contracted mode.
And you're right, notes are named note 1, note 2, etc. To rename, press
Option-R or Dot 8-R from within the file. Again, contracted mode has to be off
for this braille display command to work.
HTH,
Anna

the subject and content of the text. Sync'd, I found it in DB Ok. Opened
again in Accessnote, used readonly or whatever it was called, read down a
bit, backed out, did nothing for saving place. Not found search, or at
least, what if I didn't want to search all the files?
So that's it, still don't seem to have achieved anything from before, and
the dearest app to date.

Re: access note, is it worth it?
hi. I am wondering about 1 thing. Why is the braille display not following when you go through pages. I press the command for new page, the braille display is still on the same page. That is a problem in some apps, but it works in a great number of apps, so i wonder what has happened. I am rather frustrated about access notes at the moment. Best regards Annie.

Re: access note, is it worth it?
Hi.
Yes you can read brf files, but you need to change the file format to
txt then it works in AccessNote.
It is all very well and fine with other alternatives, but none of them
saves the position in the note where you left, if they did there would
not have been a need for AccessNote I guess.
Best regards, Jesper.

So undaunted, I found one of my txt files and opened it in Dropbox, and then looked for options and found an Open in... so did that and found accessnote. So it supposedly opened in that, got a file of the same name, but empty, not a lot of use. I thought if it had opened it properly like iLike2read, which does take it all and save it with the text it would have been Ok. But no, unless I missed a step, the open in aspect does nothing and I can't back it up through Dropbox folders to get at the text I have.

Re: access note, is it worth it?
Hi all,
I've been following this thread regarding AccessNote. Why not simply place a
series of unique characters before closing a file so you can easily find
your place? Whenever I close a file in Notepad, Word, etc, I place 3 dollar
signs at my location and save and close the file. Next time I open the file
I search for the 3 dollar signs, and I'm right where I left off. :).
Couldn't one do just the same in an IOS app? Simply include an easily
remembered series of letters such as lll or ttt which is not likely to be
used to spell any word in the English dictionary.

Right, I think we need contact details for this app. I've been playing for an hour now, I got 2 small files to open in... and get the text. But not since and not the real files I actually want; and those are off the Dropbox root which is very much inaccessible with my version. 0b files aren't a lot of use. At least DropText handles all this aspect correctly.

Well, I don't have that problem but i have another one. As for the dropbox issue, Did you enable dropbox in settings in AccessNote? Just a while ago I opened dropbox, chose a file (it was in the root rather than a folder but I think I could access my folders) and did open in to accessnote.

Yes, it needs more features, such as find and replace, the ability to move by paragraph with a braille display, and the ability to handle more file types. But it does quite a few things that no other notetaking app I've tried does, and it does them well. One is that when I do a search, I am taken right to the spot where the search item is. This sort of works in Pages if I'm using a braille display, but really doesn't work well for me when I'm not. I've wanted to be able to search my documents for years, and I love being able to do it consistently. Another benefit is that unlike Pages, wherever I am is in edit mode. With Pages, I have been frustrated on many occasions by reading along and wanting to change something, double-tapping, and finding the insertion point is somewhere else entirely, so I have to find my place again. This isn't happening with accessNote, at least so far. AccessNote saves my place in a file. If I'm reading with a braille display, I need to double-tap to be sure the correct location is saved, and I need to back out of the file before removing the app from the App switcher, but if I do those things, it works consistently. Moreover, when I open the app, the line I was reading appears on the display, rather than my needing to tap somewhere to get focus to the right place. This isn't a big deal, but it's a nice change from other apps. Finally, it's a way to read braille files without a lot of processing, and the files appear using the formatting with which they were written. Since most braille files have a lot of extra dot 7s in them, I would still want to change the case of the whole file to lower case first to get rid of them. But if the files don't have them or if you don't care about eliminating them, all you have to do is add a txt extension, and they appear in beautifully formatted braille. Is $20
Re: access note, is it worth it?
Hi.
Sure you can do that but I want to be able to save as much time as
possible. If we compare to old notetakers, like the Braille Lite and
newer notetakers as well, you turn on the machine and you would be in
your text where you left it and ready to type away. With my iPhone I
have to unlock the phone, pair a display or keyboard if I want to do
lots of typing. Open the App find the noet and first then am I ready
to resume where I left off. If I then also have to search for some
characters, well I guess you got the point? On the other hand, the
advantages of using a smart device out weighs some of the problems
asocieted with using an iPhone as a notetaker. For me it is worth the
trouble because my iPhone can do so much more than many dedicated
notetakers can, but that does not mean I do not want as much ease of
use as possible, and if AccessNote can fit that bill and do it well,
or if other apps comes around and can do it better, I am ready to
spend the money on it.
AccessNote has gotten off to a good start but they are not there yet
where I am satisfied fully with the product, but I am ready to wait
for them to come around or to somebody else do it better.
Best regards, Jesper.

Hi all,
I've been following this thread regarding AccessNote. Why not simply place a
series of unique characters before closing a file so you can easily find
your place? Whenever I close a file in Notepad, Word, etc, I place 3 dollar
signs at my location and save and close the file. Next time I open the file
I search for the 3 dollar signs, and I'm right where I left off. :).
Couldn't one do just the same in an IOS app? Simply include an easily
remembered series of letters such as lll or ttt which is not likely to be
used to spell any word in the English dictionary.

Hi.
Yes you can read brf files, but you need to change the file format to
txt then it works in AccessNote.
It is all very well and fine with other alternatives, but none of them
saves the position in the note where you left, if they did there would
not have been a need for AccessNote I guess.

Re: access note, is it worth it?
Yeah, I can access dropbox fine but if i have to reset my phone to get this app ever to open again i am not going to be very happy. And I can't depend on it if it is going to do things like this. I was thinking of using this instead of pages for my worship file every Sunday morning that has all my songs and Scripture passages in it. But when somebody's picked me up late and church is about to start and I'm trying to set up one iPhone for taking notes and the other for my worship file plus getting a bluetooth keyboard going for one and a braille display going for the other, the last thing I would need is an AccessNote app that won't open! I wouldn't have time to reset my phone! Pages may have some slight aggravations but at least it always opens! I don't want to be unfair; if I find out there's a way to keep this from happening I'll be glad to use AccessNote but for now it's too much of a risk out in an environment where I have to set up a lot of technology in a short period of time.

It's surprising how hard it is to find text editing apps where search even
exists, and then where it's easy to use with VoiceOver. So as well as
remembering your place in each file, Access Note puts the insertion point right
on what you searched for with no fuss. I used to use Nebulous but this is far
better.

Re: access note, is it worth it?
Hi, Just put whatever files you want to use with AccessNote in AccessNote's Dropbox folder and press the Sync button in the app. Then the files will show up. As for a file having 0 bytes, I had that happen once too. I had used Pages to export a Pages file as plain text, and it used an encoding scheme the app didn't like, Latin Standard or something like that. I used TextEdit to save the file as UTF8, and it opened fine in AccessNote.

Dropbox, wonderful addition, except it does nothing with existing material, the folder this app uses is 2 levels lower than any of the other Dropbox folders. I have other apps that share it and they produce their dedicated folder at the root level. So undaunted, I found one of my txt files and opened it in Dropbox, and then looked for options and found an Open in... so did that and found accessnote. So it supposedly opened in that, got a file of the same name, but empty, not a lot of use. I thought if it had opened it properly like iLike2read, which does take it all and save it with the text it would have been Ok. But no, unless I missed a step, the open in aspect does nothing and I can't back it up through Dropbox folders to get at the text I have. Thoughts, solutions or someone to contact about it please? robH. - Original Message - From: Stacey Robinson stacey...@bellsouth.net To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 4:46 AM Subject: Re: access note, is it worth it? Anna, You've sold me on it. I'll be buying it in a couple days. Can you link things to dropbox? How do you back things up? Stacey Robinson and GEB dog Chesley On Jan 30, 2013, at 9:36 PM, Woody Anna Dresner wrote: Hi, From my perspective, AccessNote is absolutely worth the money. I got it a few hours ago and am thrilled. Yes, it needs more features, such as find and replace, the ability to move by paragraph with a braille display, and the ability to handle more file types. But it does quite a few things that no other notetaking app I've tried does, and it does them well. One is that when I do a search, I am taken right to the spot where the search item is. This sort of works in Pages if I'm using a braille display, but really doesn't work well for me when I'm not. I've wanted to be able to search my documents for years, and I love being able to do it consistently. Another benefit is that unlike Pages, wherever I am is in edit mode. With Pages, I have been frustrated on many occasions by reading along and wanting to change something, double-tapping, and finding the insertion point is somewhere else entirely, so I have to find my place again. This isn't happening with accessNote, at least so far. AccessNote saves my place in a file. If I'm reading with a braille display, I need to double-tap to be sure the correct location is saved, and I need to back out of the file before removing the app from the App switcher, but if I do those things, it works consistently. Moreover, when I open the app, the line I was reading appears on the display, rather than my needing to tap somewhere to get focus to the right place. This isn't a big deal, but it's a nice change from other apps. Finally, it's a way to read braille files without a lot of processing, and the files appear using the formatting with which they were written. Since most braille files have a lot of extra dot 7s in them, I would still want to change the case of the whole file to lower case first to get rid of them. But if the files don't have them or if you don't care about eliminating them, all you have to do is add a txt extension, and they appear in beautifully formatted braille. Is $20 a lot to spend for a notetaking app? Absolutely. But since this does so many things that no other app I've used does, I'm glad I bought it. The other notetaking apps I've used are Pages, which has the problems I mentioned, Notes, which is great for short things but would be a pain for longer ones because it has no search ability, and very briefly Elements, which has no search facility, Notesy, which wouldn't open the text files I wanted to work with because I guess they were too long, and Write 2, which wouldn't speak any of my search results. There certainly might be apps I've missed that have AccessNote's features, but I've tried quite a few and haven't found those features anywhere else. I hope that helps.

Re: access note, is it worth it?
So I've read this thread from start to finish. And while I've seen
mention of alternatives to Access Note, no one has mentioned whether
these alternatives have searching where Voiceover follows your cursor
or proper cursor tracking. Thse things are really important to me when
reviewing notes or studying for class. I rely on the search function
heavily. I don't want to pay $20 for this app, But I'm honestly about
to. Also, has anyone tested this app with larger documents? When I say
larger documents, I'm speaking of documents which are longer than just
a few pages. Perhaps 30 or more.

Hello. I have not tried AccessNote, and don't plan on doing so. In my
opinion, a notetaking app is not worth $20. There is a built-in Notes

in iOs, and if you want more features, I'm pretty sure that there are
plenty
of $0.99 alternatives on the App store. This is just my opinion though.

Hi,
I'm a totally blind iphone user. I use a bluetooth keyboard with my
iPhone, I don't use a Braille display. So what I was wondering, is
access
note worth the $20?

Hi Bred. It is only txt format for now but they are working on other formats. This goes both for import and import. Best regards, Jesper.

The other notetaking apps I've used are Pages, which has the problems I mentioned, Notes, which is great for short things but would be a pain for longer ones because it has no search ability, and very briefly Elements, which has no search facility, Notesy, which wouldn't open the text files I wanted to work with because I guess they were too long, and Write 2, which wouldn't speak any of my search results.

I have bought this product for £13,99 after reading another post about this product. If more formats are to be added, then it's going to be a good App. Kawal.

Re: access note, is it worth it?
Ok, first glitch or oversight, and that's not including lack of developer detail I can get at for contacting someone about it. Dropbox, wonderful addition, except it does nothing with existing material, the folder this app uses is 2 levels lower than any of the other Dropbox folders. I have other apps that share it and they produce their dedicated folder at the root level. So undaunted, I found one of my txt files and opened it in Dropbox, and then looked for options and found an Open in... so did that and found accessnote. So it supposedly opened in that, got a file of the same name, but empty, not a lot of use. I thought if it had opened it properly like iLike2read, which does take it all and save it with the text it would have been Ok. But no, unless I missed a step, the open in aspect does nothing and I can't back it up through Dropbox folders to get at the text I have. Thoughts, solutions or someone to contact about it please? robH. - Original Message - From: Stacey Robinson stacey...@bellsouth.net To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 4:46 AM Subject: Re: access note, is it worth it?

Re: access note, is it worth it?
Well, I don't have that problem but i have another one. As for the dropbox issue, Did you enable dropbox in settings in AccessNote? Just a while ago I opened dropbox, chose a file (it was in the root rather than a folder but I think I could access my folders) and did open in to accessnote. The file was a text file and it works fine in AccessNote. However, just now I tried to open accessnote again and it made the sound like an app was opening but it didn't open. I tried removing it from the app switcher and also turning my phone off and on and if I double-tap AccessNote it sounds like it is opening but I'm just taken to my home screen (first page). But accessnote then is in the app switcher and won't open from there either though it does appear to allow itself to be removed from the app switcher. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Hi, I'm a totally blind iphone user. I use a bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone, I don't use a Braille display. So what I was wondering, is access note worth the $20?

Re: access note, is it worth it?
Hi. For you who are not using braille it is worth the price I think. Braille users are in my opinion not getting enough for the money. Best regards Annie.

Re: access note, is it worth it?
Hi, From my perspective, AccessNote is absolutely worth the money. I got it a few hours ago and am thrilled. Yes, it needs more features, such as find and replace, the ability to move by paragraph with a braille display, and the ability to handle more file types. But it does quite a few things that no other notetaking app I've tried does, and it does them well. One is that when I do a search, I am taken right to the spot where the search item is. This sort of works in Pages if I'm using a braille display, but really doesn't work well for me when I'm not. I've wanted to be able to search my documents for years, and I love being able to do it consistently. Another benefit is that unlike Pages, wherever I am is in edit mode. With Pages, I have been frustrated on many occasions by reading along and wanting to change something, double-tapping, and finding the insertion point is somewhere else entirely, so I have to find my place again. This isn't happening with accessNote, at least so far. AccessNote saves my place in a file. If I'm reading with a braille display, I need to double-tap to be sure the correct location is saved, and I need to back out of the file before removing the app from the App switcher, but if I do those things, it works consistently. Moreover, when I open the app, the line I was reading appears on the display, rather than my needing to tap somewhere to get focus to the right place. This isn't a big deal, but it's a nice change from other apps. Finally, it's a way to read braille files without a lot of processing, and the files appear using the formatting with which they were written. Since most braille files have a lot of extra dot 7s in them, I would still want to change the case of the whole file to lower case first to get rid of them. But if the files don't have them or if you don't care about eliminating them, all you have to do is add a txt extension, and they appear in beautifully formatted braille. Is $20 a lot to spend for a notetaking app? Absolutely. But since this does so many things that no other app I've used does, I'm glad I bought it. The other notetaking apps I've used are Pages, which has the problems I mentioned, Notes, which is great for short things but would be a pain for longer ones because it has no search ability, and very briefly Elements, which has no search facility, Notesy, which wouldn't open the text files I wanted to work with because I guess they were too long, and Write 2, which wouldn't speak any of my search results. There certainly might be apps I've missed that have AccessNote's features, but I've tried quite a few and haven't found those features anywhere else. I hope that helps.

I'm just bummed that I can't use it on my iPad 1. I can't imagine what they needed to require ios6 for.

Re: access note, is it worth it?
Hi, A great informative post. Can you let me know which file types are supported, as this isn't mentioned in the description.
