Re: Reading with a Braille display in the Kindle app

[Scott Davert]

Hi Cheryl and Woody.
This is a content specific issue that I've also found. Cheryl: you hit
the nail on the head in that foot notes can indeed cause this to
happen. I've also noticed it happens with some content that also
contains pictures or diagrams of some sort on the same page. I don't
know of a work around unforrtunatley,  sorry.

Well, that's interesting. I'm using a Focus 40 Blue Classic. Does anyone know 
if this bug is confined to the Focus displays? I know there's a lot of 
uniformity among the various display drivers. I would expect that this is not a 
display specific issue, but I am curious nonetheless. I'll turn automatic 
panning off to see what happens and then report back here and to Apple.

Re: Reading with a Braille display in the Kindle app

[Cheryl Lenartiene]

Hi,
I can confirm that turning off auto panning does not eliminate the behavior. 
What it does do is safeguard against you scrolling to the next page as you're 
looking for your place. 4,5,6-chord doesn't work in the Kindle app, so I have 
to pan display length by display length to find my place. Hopefully, Apple will 
fix this.

Yes, I have. I've actually been seeing this behavior for a little while, at 
least ever since 9.2.1 was in public Beta. But I've made purchases at the same 
time, so I can't say whether something was introduced into iOS, or whether the 
the behavior is content specific. I mostly read Bibles and Bible commentaries 
in the Kindle app, so not only are the files large, but they are reference 
materials with notes. I'm not sure whether the type of content has anything to 
do with anything. I can look to see if I have shorter and plainer books to test 
with.I can say that I experience similar issues with the Logos Bible app, and I 
have for years, but I thought it was specific to that app. It wasn't until I 
was writing this that I remembered the commonality.

Rejoice always! Pray continually. Give thanks in everything,

Reading with a Braille display in the Kindle app

[Cheryl Lenartiene]

Hi all,
I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I'm hoping there is a 
solution. When I read Kindle books with my Braille display, as I near the end 
of the page, the display cuts off in the middle of a word, and when I pan to 
the right, I'm taken back to the top of the page. When I pan through the page a 
second time, I can read normally all the way through and am taken to the next 
page once I reach the end of the current page. This happens on every single 
page of my Kindle books, causing me to read, or at least scroll through, each 
page twice. Does anyone know why this is happening and whether there is a 
solution?
Thanks!

Re: Reading Books with Braille Display on iPhone

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Ok I have downloaded one of these apps. I thought it could be a good idea for a 
braille user, if the words would change themselves, but the problem is that I 
can not get the words to change by themselves. There are a lot of these apps, 
maybe I should try another one, but I think it would be the same result.

Best regards Annie.

 The Kindle and iBooks apps do require a page turn. The problem with most

 movement gives the sighted person more of the feeling of reading a book, 
 so is preferred.
 
 If the file is an unlocked PDF, unlocked ePub, text, or other standard 
 file format, there are several options for viewing the file. I do not know 
 which options provide continuous braille reading as I mainly listen. I 
 primarily use braille for reviewing / editing.
 
 Interestingly, there is a speed-reading app in the App Store now that 
 flashes one word at a time on the display. Sighted people are reporting 
 reading speeds, with comprehension, of up to 800 words per minute.

Re: Reading Books with Braille Display on iPhone

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi.

I have found an app, that I like very much, it has some lacks, but hopefully 
the developer will listen.

It is called chm plus, it can read many formats html, txt, DRM free epub, PDF 
etc. Best of all, you can use the search function, although it is a little 
strange. I will explain if people wants me, it is a bit strange, how that 
works. But I really like the app, and I wish that bookmarks would be fixed, so 
we can use them with voiceover, when/if that will happen, we have a good 
reading app with braille, as good apple will allow us to have it, I think. You 
can read continuously in this app, it is the best I have found so far.


Is there any way to get the bard app if you are living outside the u.s. It 
sounds interesting.

Best regards Annie.

 Richard,
 
 I like kindle better than Ibooks and nook because it doesn't require as many 
 keystrokes.  you just do the press to go to the next page and the text 
 immediately appears.  with nook and Ibooks, since there are buttons on the 
 book screen, it's more clunky.  also, I like the Read2Go app for reading 
 books.  that one is very smooth.  I haven't tried the BARD app with a braille 
 book yet.
 
 
 
 have a blessed day,
 
 Nicki

 Hi,
 
 What is the best app for reading books on an iPhone with a braille display?
 I know of the ones like Kindle and iBooks that seem to work with voiceover;
 however, I want an app that I can smoothly navigate using my braille
 display.  Thanks,
 
 Richard

Re: Reading Books with Braille Display on iPhone

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi David.

Which reading-speed app are you refering to, there are more of them.

Best regards Annie.
Den Oct 1, 2013 kl. 1:23 AM skrev David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com:

 For Kindle, iBooks, Kobo, and Nook (Barnes and Noble), the specific app is 
 your only option because the files are locked to the specific app. Therefore, 
 in these cases, you have no choice but to learn and work with the specific 
 quirks of these apps. I know that iBooks and Kindle work with braille 
 displays, but I do not know if the page will automatically scroll, or if you 
 will need to perform a dots 1 3 5 space, or dots 2 4 6 space between pages in 
 order to turn pages. For the sighted, it is necessary to touch the screen on 
 the righthand side with one finger and slide the finger across to the 
 lefthand side in order to turn the page forward. This movement gives the 
 sighted person more of the feeling of reading a book, so is preferred.
 
 If the file is an unlocked PDF, unlocked ePub, text, or other standard file 
 format, there are several options for viewing the file. I do not know which 
 options provide continuous braille reading as I mainly listen. I primarily 
 use braille for reviewing / editing.
 
 Interestingly, there is a speed-reading app in the App Store now that flashes 
 one word at a time on the display. Sighted people are reporting reading 
 speeds, with comprehension, of up to 800 words per minute.

reading with a braille display

[Rebecca Ilniski]

Hi everyone.  If you read a book with a braille display, which apps do you use? 
For me I find that the kindle app works well as yyou can use o with the space 
bar to go to the next page.  I've tired this in ibooks and voicedream but no 
go.  Ibooks has that strange page chooser at the bottom of every page.  I would 
love to move all of those ibooks in to kindle so that I can read at my leisure. 
 So if you read, which apps do you find work with your braille display?

Re: reading with a braille display

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Rebecca,

When you get to the page chooser in iBooks, pan left once. Then the Space with 
O command will work just fine. Some braille displays have keys that do the same 
thing as Space with O. For instance, the right rocker switch on the front of 
the Focus 40 moves you to the next page when you press down on it. Just be sure 
to pan left once from the page chooser before you press the switch or Space 
with O.

Cheers,
Anna

Which app would be best for a file to advance through for reading with a braille display?

[Cheryl Homiak]

Today I used my Refreshabraille 18 for the first time in church. I had it 
paired with my iPhone and I used it with the notes app to take notes. That 
worked quite well. Now I would like to try going a step further.

In church we sing from 5 to 7 songs, have a short Scripture reading at the 
beginning, another a little further on, then sometimes have a different reading 
for the sermon, and another short Scripture reading at the very end. I have a 
notebook full of words to songs I have copied that are used in this church and 
I keep the songs we are going to sing each week in the front, then put them 
back by alphabetical order afterward. Either I stuff two or three volumes of my 
Bible in my backpack with the worship notebook or i just copy out the passages 
for the week and put them in the worship notebook with my music. Although I 
don't know if I can advance through a song fast enough to use the 
Refreshabraille and iPhone for singing, I would like to try it and I think I 
could move fast enough to read the Scripture passages if I had them ready. I am 
wanting to know which app would be best for putting everything for one Sunday 
morning in a file in chronological order so that I could just follow through as 
we progress from beginning to end, stopping only when I go to Notes to take 
notes during the sermon. I would want something without a lot of other buttons 
or options where I could sync the text file onto my iPhone and work through it 
and also hopefully have it hold my place in the file when I leave the app and 
come back, Does anybody have any ideas as to what app would be best for trying 
this?

Thanks.
