Re: How to get BrailleTouch purchased upgrade on your second iOS device without being charged again
Yes. It will feel like you are going to buy the item again, but you actually aren't. After confirming your purchase (provided you are using the same Apple ID) you will be told that you have already bought the item. This works for most one-time n app purchases.

still haven't gotten braille touch
Hi everyone. I still haven't gotten the hang of braille touch. here are a few questions. 1. What kind of case do you find works best with the app? 2. I am wondering how you hold your phone as I've tried it both with the hone button on the left as well as on the right. I can type a-h successfully but once I get to the letter i I begin having trouble as picturing the alignment of the dots has been difficult for me. I'd like to be able to get this thougb as I do love my braille. If there's a way someone could assist me with a good description or even using skype or face time so that maybe visually you can tell what I'm doing that would be ok too.

My first impressions are, it is going to workout great. Just what I wanted. It was under $30, 11 hours talk time, voice prompts, and has that a2dp thing for vo to come through the earpiece. Voiceover came through immediately, and pairing was easier than getting the device out of the package. Lol! Two extra notes on the m50, it will pair with 2 devices, great for someone with a business phone and personal phone. You can also see the battery status of the device in the iPhone status bar.

Low voice qutlity after updating to IOS 6.1
Hello, I've updated my iPad 3 to IOS 6.1, and despite the fact that I've left it plugged in and connected to the net for a couple of nights, it hasn't downloaded the HQ voice. My iPod Touch 5g had the HQ voice right from the start after the update completed. I also don't remember the low quality voice being this bad, but that may be due to the fallibility of human memory. I'm using the Australian voice and have my region format set to Australia. Can anyone suggest a method of causing my iPad into reinstalling the HQ voice? I've tried switching to a different region, and then switching back. but it didn't help. Thanks, Zivan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: access note, is it worth it?
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.

The bottom is the side with volume controls. now think of your left index finger as dot 1, your left middle as dot 2, and your left ring finger as dot 3.

Brailletouch problem: cannot type with Voice Over on
Hi all, Sorry if this has been asked before, but I cannot type in Brailletouch with voice Over turned on. I only get ticks, whatever speech feedback I have chosen in the settings. When turning off voice Over I can type normally with English speech feedback. Although typing works, I still don't get the characters and words speech feedback, only the typed characters. With of without screen orientation locked, don't make a difference. On other Dutch users it works fine. What I am doing wrong here? Here's my configuration: iPhone 5 running IOS 6.1 in Dutch language. Voice Over with Dutch hq voice and screen curtain turned on. Free version of Brailletouch.

Re: Brailletouch problem: cannot type with Voice Over on
Hi Ronald, Thanks for trying BrailleTouch. Word feedback relies on VoiceOver. If you turn VoiceOver off, BrailleTouch will only speak the characters you type in English. I'm sorry you are having trouble with speech feedback in Dutch. I'm not sure what the cause could be. I just tried changing the language on my iPhone to Dutch and BrailleTouch does speak to me in Dutch. Perhaps you could try changing your iPhone language setting to English and see if the speech starting working in BrailleTouch with VoiceOver turned on. If it does work, you can switch back to Dutch and see if that wakes up VoiceOver. If changing the system language does not work, you could try shutting down your iPhone and rebooting it. Please let me know if either of these solves the problem.

Re: Braille Touch without Voice over
Hi Tom, This is an iPhone question and is not specific to BrailleTouch. The shortcut to turn VoiceOver on and off is triple click home. You tap the home button quickly three times. This will work only if in the iPhone Settings the Triple Click Home shortcut is set to control VoiceOver. Otherwise, you can go to the iPhone settings app. Go to General, and then Accessibility.

Re: Brailletouch problem: cannot type with Voice Over on
Hi Caleb, Many thanks for your speedy reply! I did all you wrote, changing language to English and back, rebooting etc, but didn't make a difference. I did however solved the problem. I somehow turned off the Direct Touch (or what's it coalled in EnglisH) option in the rotor. When turning the rotor to Direct Touch you can flick to select on or off, I probably did this by accident. All works fine now. I finally can try out your promising app. Thanks again and keep up the good work. regards, Ronald Op 2 feb. 2013, om 16:43 heeft BrailleTouch viph...@brailletouchapp.com het volgende geschreven: Hi Ronald, Thanks for trying BrailleTouch. Word feedback relies on VoiceOver. If you turn VoiceOver off, BrailleTouch will only speak the characters you type in English. I'm sorry you are having trouble with speech feedback in Dutch. I'm not sure what the cause could be. I just tried changing the language on my iPhone to Dutch and BrailleTouch does speak to me in Dutch. Perhaps you could try changing your iPhone language setting to English and see if the speech starting working in BrailleTouch with VoiceOver turned on. If it does work, you can switch back to Dutch and see if that wakes up VoiceOver. If changing the system language does not work, you could try shutting down your iPhone and rebooting it. Please let me know if either of these solves the problem.

Please let me know if this is helpful. When you open the touchscreen braille keyboard, first try to find the four corners of the touchscreen. Let's assume you have not flipped the dots in the Settings. First, type dot 1 for the letter A with your left index finger. Move your finger toward the corner of the iPhone until you find the limits of the touch sensitive area of the screen. Then type an apostrophe with your left ring finger, dot 3. Move this finger toward that corner of the iPhone until you find the limits. Now go back and forth with the letter A and the apostrophe until you have comfortably and reliably located your left hand. Next, do the same thing with your right hand. Start with your right index finger on dot 4 for the at-sign. Then locate your right ring finger on dot 6 for the capital sign. Then check both the at-sign and the capital sign back and forth until you've found a good position for your right hand. I am curious to know if this is helpful for anyone who is new to BrailleTouch or anyone who is having trouble getting certain characters to work. Please let me know.

Re: How do I Make Corrections after Filling In a Field?
This is one time a BT keyboard helps as the edit/'navigation keys work within the field as well as the characters are input.

Re: BrailleTouch finger placement
Caleb, perhaps an alternative keyboard should be added. My experience is, if I hold my iPhone higher about face high, my fingers get the correct dots most of the time but after awhile, holding the phone that gets tiring. How about using the phone on a table-top with the screen facing up and the fingers forming a letter V. The index fingers of both hands in the bottom center of the screen and the remaining fingers forming the rest of the V. Perhaps it could be called table top move and the normal way, hand-held. - Original Message - From: BrailleTouch To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, February 01, 2013 7:40 PM Subject: Re: BrailleTouch finger placement Hi Rob and everyone, I'd like to try a suggestion for finding a good finger placement with BrailleTouch for new users and people having trouble with certain characters. Please let me know if this is helpful. When you open the touchscreen braille keyboard, first try to find the four corners of the touchscreen. Let's assume you have not flipped the dots in the Settings. First, type dot 1 for the letter A with your left index finger. Move your finger toward the corner of the iPhone until you find the limits of the touch sensitive area of the screen. Then type an apostrophe with your left ring finger, dot 3. Move this finger toward that corner of the iPhone until you find the limits. Now go back and forth with the letter A and the apostrophe until you have comfortably and reliably located your left hand. Next, do the same thing with your right hand. Start with your right index finger on dot 4 for the at-sign. Then locate your right ring finger on dot 6 for the capital sign. Then check both the at-sign and the capital sign back and forth until you've found a good position for your right hand. I am curious to know if this is helpful for anyone who is new to BrailleTouch or anyone who is having trouble getting certain characters to work. Please let me know.

The fact that you can try the app before purchase is excellent. I am a lifelong Braille user and input in Braille every day. And I think this is my problem. When I heard about Braille Touch, I imagined that you would input Braille in the same way that you would on a Perkins or refreshable Braille display that offers a keyboard. But really you don't. On such products, the keys are aligned horizontally. Perhaps there's a little diagonal placement for the sake of ergonomics, but fundamentally they are horizontal. With Braille Touch, however, dost 1, 2 and 3 are under each other. This is how they obviously appear when reading the cell, but not when you're inputting. So people who do a lot of input on refreshable Braille displays are going to have to remember to Braille as the cell looks, not as they would on a Braille device. I wonder if making the dots horizontal could be a future setting. I think there's enough screen space for this to work, and I know for my part I'd find it more intuitive because of the amount of Brailling I do on other devices.

Re: New AFB App Helps People with Vision Loss Easily Take Notes on iPhoneR, iPadR, and iPod touchR
Hi, Feel I am missing something here: I have successfully used the onboard notes app for, I think, just about all of these functions. Sure, Search is a feature lacking, but is that the only one? Can you use basic formatting such as fonts etc with this app? As for returning to an note to append, I never had a problem with that, just going into edit mode and control down arrow, I think it is, upon hearing the bonk sound, I know where I am. Also, I suppose, there isn't a proper tree structure for folders etc and that would be useful. So, are these two the only advantages to this new app? I am not knocking it, but I am knocking the price unless ,of course, I have completely missed the salient points. Thanks in advance, Sandy.

Augusto, AFB president and CEO. “We designed this app to complement the iPhone’s other popular features, like web browsing and email, so that users who are blind have all the tools they need in one, handy device.” A traditional notetaker is a portable electronic device that enables users who are blind or visually impaired to take notes, create documents, and access applications. These devices, extremely valuable for people who are blind or visually impaired, usually provide either speech or braille output (or both). They retail for upwards of $2,000 and much more for those with a built-in braille display; AFB’s AccessNote app is available for $19.99. In addition to being a low-cost alternative to traditional notetakers, AccessNote allows users to combine efficient notetaking with many other features and functions of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This allows people who are blind or visually impaired to use the same popular devices that their sighted peers are using in classroom or business settings. This is the first notetaking app developed and designed specifically for users with vision loss. AFB evaluated many of the other available notetaking apps, but found none to be very efficient or user-friendly to people who are blind or visually impaired. What sets the AccessNote apart includes: · Seamless Navigation. Customized keyboard commands make notetaking more intuitive and productive than ever before, including quick access to important features like Search All Notes, Search Within a Note, as well as several navigation options. · Automatic Saving. With an automatic save on every few keystrokes, notes will never be lost. · Cursor tracking. When navigating among multiple sets of notes, users can always pick up right where they left off. · Unparalleled Simplicity. With a clutter-free interface, users can create, read, find, and sync, making it easier to spend more time with actual content and less time with tools. · DropBox Integration. All notes, always on hand. DropBox keeps AccessNote in sync with the user’s desktop (and other devices) so their notes are always available and backed up. · Compatibility with Bluetooth keyboards. AccessNote is optimized for efficiency with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and for today’s wireless braille displays. AccessNote was developed in conjunction with FloCo Apps and is available on the App Store(sm). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

When I heard about Braille Touch, I imagined that you would input Braille in the same way that you would on a Perkins or refreshable Braille display that offers a keyboard. But really you don't. On such products, the keys are aligned horizontally. Perhaps there's a little diagonal placement for the sake of ergonomics, but fundamentally they are horizontal. With Braille Touch, however, dost 1, 2 and 3 are under each other. This is how they obviously appear when reading the cell, but not when you're inputting. So people who do a lot of input on refreshable Braille displays are going to have to remember to Braille as the cell looks, not as they would on a Braille device. I wonder if making the dots horizontal could be a future setting. I think there's enough screen space for this to work, and I know for my part I'd find it more intuitive because of the amount of Brailling I do on other devices.

Re: BrailleTouch - finding letters you are having trouble with
Two things: I have one of the hd cases, so the screen is framed quite deeply for protection, so can't miss, though can't always get in the edges either. But with a little care, I get it reasonably consistently now. I also note that since it only registers the letter when you lift your fingers, you get tons of time to shuffle them all on and around until you're happy. That's worked a time or two when I try go too fast. But yes, since you're hitting the character at a stroke, it's a heck of a lot faster then the vKeyboard on screen.

RobH said below that BrailleTouch saw the letter N (dots 1-3-4-5) when he typed the letter Y (dots 1-3-4-5-6). That means that BrailleTouch was not seeing dot 6. Let's assume the flip dots setting is off, as in the default app. That means that Rob's ring finger was not registering on the touchscreen. It could have been a little too far down and off the touch sensitive area. I personally have trouble with Y and Z sometimes. I go a little slower when placing my fingers for these two letters, and then lift my fingers quickly off the screen.

You have more wiggle room right to left but you need to keep your fingers in position up and down. Maybe kind of imagine the dots as stationary on the phone where you first tapped instead of thinking you should move up and down the column. I would really advise people to play with this and post problems before posting evaluational comments. As I recall, my first few hours' experience with typing on the virtual keyboard on the iPhone weren't very impressive either. Some skills take time and patience.

Re: brailletouch
I agree with pretty well all of this - I came to one conclusion, well, another conclusion really; if you think about fingers to dots; or just the one, first finger left is dot1; the rest follow naturally after that. Think about holding it and phone orientation, and confusion sets in. I tried the flipped setting, got it pretty well, then switched it back; like I said, so long as I'm thinking first finger left is dot1, it just works. Done a ton of texting on a noisy bus earlier, something I never do, couldn't do, could never hear the letters spoke as I groped for them. This way, you just hit it and it's done.

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: Information on how TapTapSee works
Lauren, It is a combination of a database algorithm and crowdsourcing. The image does not always go to a human for identification. We have a complex technology behind TapTapSee. I actually work for the company that developed TapTapSee. As you mentioned, TapTapSee's new update does in fact have an automated flash in case the picture is taken in a dark place. It also has a repeat button. We're currently working on more upgrades for the app. As I said in a different thread, if anyone would like to give feedback or suggestions you can always contact us via Twitter http://Twitter.com/TapTapSee or you can simply drop a line to me at dmit...@taptapseeapp.com.

Its unfortunate that the details are not provided in app store. This TapTapSee app seems to work by employing a type of crowd sourcing. In other words, when you take a picture it is actually human beings responding. This is how it knows it is a dog or man on the picture. This also may explain why only general descriptions of objects are provided such as black shoe, $20, yellow blouse, Lysol wipes, etc. I'm not certain yet that any sort of database of known objects is employed as might be the case with bar code scanners. Please try the following for best results: *use under good lighting conditions. (I believe most current update automatically turns on flash if it is needed.) *try to take one picture at a time and give enough time so the person on other side can send back their description *Try placing eye of camera at center of object or what will be the picture to be recognized. *If too proximal to object then back off and if too distal then bring camera a little closer. *Personal suggestion: try not to get too picture happy and snap pictures of rocks, sand, or other frivolous objects as those individuals out there recognizing objects might feel as though they are wasting their time describing meaningless things.

RobH said below that BrailleTouch saw the letter N (dots 1-3-4-5) when he typed the letter Y (dots 1-3-4-5-6). That means that BrailleTouch was not seeing dot 6. Let's assume the flip dots setting is off, as in the default app. That means that Rob's ring finger was not registering on the touchscreen. It could have been a little too far down and off the touch sensitive area. I personally have trouble with Y and Z sometimes. I go a little slower when placing my fingers for these two letters, and then lift my fingers quickly off the screen.

I think the tendency is to move fingers up and down from the original position and that's why you are getting the lowered effect. You have more wiggle room right to left but you need to keep your fingers in position up and down. Maybe kind of imagine the dots as stationary on the phone where you first tapped instead of thinking you should move up and down the column. I would really advise people to play with this and post problems before posting evaluational comments. As I recall, my first few hours' experience with typing on the virtual keyboard on the iPhone weren't very impressive either. Some skills take time and patience. If, however, my skill hadn't improved with the virtual keyboard over time, I would have taken it back and would have said the iPhone just wasn't for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Its unfortunate that the details are not provided in app store. This TapTapSee app seems to work by employing a type of crowd sourcing. In other words, when you take a picture it is actually human beings responding. This is how it knows it is a dog or man on the picture. This also may explain why only general descriptions of objects are provided such as black shoe, $20, yellow blouse, Lysol wipes, etc. I'm not certain yet that any sort of database of known objects is employed as might be the case with bar code scanners. Please try the following for best results: *use under good lighting conditions. (I believe most current update automatically turns on flash if it is needed.) *try to take one picture at a time and give enough time so the person on other side can send back their description *Try placing eye of camera at center of object or what will be the picture to be recognized. *If too proximal to object then back off and if too distal then bring camera a little closer. *Personal suggestion: try not to get too picture happy and snap pictures of rocks, sand, or other frivolous objects as those individuals out there recognizing objects might feel as though they are wasting their time describing meaningless things.

Use the rotor to get two characters. Flick to the text field and make sure that it is editing. Double tap the edit field and you'll hear either insertion point at start, or insertion point at end. If the word you want to delete or correct is at the end, one ship your insertion point is at the end, you can delete character by character, then fix your mistake.

The fact that you can try the app before purchase is excellent. I am a lifelong Braille user and input in Braille every day. And I think this is my problem. When I heard about Braille Touch, I imagined that you would input Braille in the same way that you would on a Perkins or refreshable Braille display that offers a keyboard. But really you don't. On such products, the keys are aligned horizontally. Perhaps there's a little diagonal placement for the sake of ergonomics, but fundamentally they are horizontal. With Braille Touch, however, dost 1, 2 and 3 are under each other. This is how they obviously appear when reading the cell, but not when you're inputting. So people who do a lot of input on refreshable Braille displays are going to have to remember to Braille as the cell looks, not as they would on a Braille device. I wonder if making the dots horizontal could be a future setting. I think there's enough screen space for this to work, and I know for my part I'd find it more intuitive because of the amount of Brailling I do on other devices.

Re: Another formatting question with Braille Touch
The point David is that you want the app to be both as convenient and usable as possible. In my profession, two spaces after a period is still the accepted standard for submitting written work. Leaving it to people to insert extra spaces themselves could lead to confusion especially among those learning braille who are now having to learn a new set of formatting rules. By doing nothing, we are in a sense creating a set of conventions that if you write braille with braille touch, you have to format your braille as if you were preparing a print text. How does that assist braille teachers with teaching braille formatting rules? Just some more thoughts to consider. Bob Fenton Sent from my iPhone On 2013-02-02, at 9:47 AM, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: Actually, the two spaces after a period rule is changing. Nowadays, many documents are written with just one space after the period. My suggestion is that no formatting algorithm be created. Instead, like with most things, formatting should be the responsibility of the individual author.

RE: Access Note -- How to delete a note
Hi Rob and Kimberley, I haven't purchased Access Note yet although I probably will. In any case, I am surprised an app that is made for Voiceover user doesn't utilize the latest and greatest in Voiceover features and by that I mean why don't they use the Action Rotor Apple has implemented in apps like Mail, Messages, the Favourites List, the Music app etc. this would allow you to just flick down or up if the rotor is set to Actions and toggle between Delete and Standard. Maybe the double tap and swipe works extremely well in the Access Note app, I never thought it was a super reliable gesture before in apps like music, but maybe it is more so in Access Note, it was just a thought.

I tried the flipped setting, got it pretty well, then switched it back; like I said, so long as I'm thinking first finger left is dot1, it just works.

Please let me know if this is helpful. When you open the touchscreen braille keyboard, first try to find the four corners of the touchscreen. Let's assume you have not flipped the dots in the Settings. First, type dot 1 for the letter A with your left index finger. Move your finger toward the corner of the iPhone until you find the limits of the touch sensitive area of the screen. Then type an apostrophe with your left ring finger, dot 3. Move this finger toward that corner of the iPhone until you find the limits. Now go back and forth with the letter A and the apostrophe until you have comfortably and reliably located your left hand. Next, do the same thing with your right hand. Start with your right index finger on dot 4 for the at-sign. Then locate your right ring finger on dot 6 for the capital sign. Then check both the at-sign and the capital sign back and forth until you've found a good position for your right hand. I am curious to know if this is helpful for anyone who is new to BrailleTouch or anyone who is having trouble getting certain characters to work. Please let me know.

Re: Another formatting question with Braille Touch
Are new braille learners more likely to write braille electronically or on paper? The reason for the different Braille formatting rules is because, on paper, Braille is so much larger than print. As a congenitally blind learner who grew up on Braille formatting rules, it has been complicated for me to learn print formatting rules as an adult. With much of Braille being electronic nowadays, I submit that Braille be taught with print, rather than Braille, formatting rules. Further, I submit that congenitally blind learners be taught print tactually with tactile experience of differing sized letters and experience of different font types. Otherwise, the confusion amongst the blind around characters per line, character spacing, line spacing, and so forth, will continue. One of the reasons it is easy for me to get my head around such concepts is that my mother taught me print letters using plastic letter magnets before I went to school and started learning Braille. Because of that, I tactually read some print signage such as number plates on doors, when the signage is engraved or embossed rather than just painted on. Even when typewriters were used, there wasn't a standard number of spaces to use for indenting a print paragraph. The two main typing letter faces required 5 or 10 spaces for one of them, and seven or twelve spaces for the other one (depending on whether the indent was .5 or 1 inch. with computer fonts being more like hand printing such that many fonts no longer use block letter sizes, but instead allow different letters to be different widths, in my opinion, sticking to Braille's antiquated formatting rules will most likely serve to further isolate blind people.

In my profession, two spaces after a period is still the accepted standard for submitting written work. Leaving it to people to insert extra spaces themselves could lead to confusion especially among those learning braille who are now having to learn a new set of formatting rules. By doing nothing, we are in a sense creating a set of conventions that if you write braille with braille touch, you have to format your braille as if you were preparing a print text. How does that assist braille teachers with teaching braille formatting rules? Just some more thoughts to consider.

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.

Re: still haven't gotten braille touch
Hello Rebecca 1. I suggest you get a silicon case as they provide an excellent grip for the phone. At least they do to me. Prices start around £1 or the equivalent in your country. 2. You need to orientate the phone so that the home button is on the right and the earpiece is on the left. Next try to imagine the dots as being vertically arranged, rather than horizontally arranged, on the screen. So dots 1, 2 and 3 are on the left half of the screen while dots 4, 5 and 6 are on the right half. You may also want to try the flip dots 1-3, 4-6 setting, which can be found in BrailleTouch, accessed in the main settings app on the phone under the advanced heading. Good luck. Chris.

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.

Augusto, AFB president and CEO. “We designed this app to complement the iPhone’s other popular features, like web browsing and email, so that users who are blind have all the tools they need in one, handy device.” A traditional notetaker is a portable electronic device that enables users who are blind or visually impaired to take notes, create documents, and access applications. These devices, extremely valuable for people who are blind or visually impaired, usually provide either speech or braille output (or both). They retail for upwards of $2,000 and much more for those with a built-in braille display; AFB’s AccessNote app is available for $19.99. In addition to being a low-cost alternative to traditional notetakers, AccessNote allows users to combine efficient notetaking with many other features and functions of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This allows people who are blind or visually impaired to use the same popular devices that their sighted peers are using in classroom or business settings. This is the first notetaking app developed and designed specifically for users with vision loss. AFB evaluated many of the other available notetaking apps, but found none to be very efficient or user-friendly to people who are blind or visually impaired. What sets the AccessNote apart includes: · Seamless Navigation. Customized keyboard commands make notetaking more intuitive and productive than ever before, including quick access to important features like Search All Notes, Search Within a Note, as well as several navigation options. · Automatic Saving. With an automatic save on every few keystrokes, notes will never be lost. · Cursor tracking. When navigating among multiple sets of notes, users can always pick up right where they left off. · Unparalleled Simplicity. With a clutter-free interface, users can create, read, find, and sync, making it easier to spend more time with actual content and less time with tools. · DropBox Integration. All notes, always on hand. DropBox keeps AccessNote in sync with the user’s desktop (and other devices) so their notes are always available and backed up. · Compatibility with Bluetooth keyboards. AccessNote is optimized for efficiency with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and for today’s wireless braille displays. AccessNote was developed in conjunction with FloCo Apps and is available on the App Store(sm). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Braille Touch Doesn't Work as I expected

Re: Deleting text in BrailleTouch
Hi Karen, Thanks. I'm glad you like BrailleTouch. There is a Clear Text button in the BrailleTouch menu. It is near the bottom, and is only visible if you have already typed text. As a hint, the Start Typing or Resume Typing button is always anchored to the bottom of the menu screen. You can touch the bottom of the screen and then navigate from the bottom of the menu, if the menu option you want is further down the list.

However, for those who can manage that orientation, it would be good to offer that as an option, along with the current option of flipping dots a and 3, etc. JMO, Richard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Rick Alfaro Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2013 10:18 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Braille Touch Doesn't Work as I expected I would have to add my agreement with this as well. I would definitely prefer a horizontal placement for the Braille input.

I would love a setting to allow entry using the screen divided into six rectangles horizontally across the screen, as it is on the Perkins and, for example, also on the refreshabraille. Remember that the virtual keys are long, so there doesn't need to be any hand twisting for the fingers to land on the right spots as there would be with button keys. I would be more than happy to trade the ability to type without a flat surface for the ability to type on such a six horizontal dot keyboard. I would be even more pleased if this were a setting which could be changed. Aman On 2/1/13, Kimber Gardner kimbersinbox1...@gmail.com wrote: I have to agree.

The fact that you can try the app before purchase is excellent. I am a lifelong Braille user and input in Braille every day. And I think this is my problem. When I heard about Braille Touch, I imagined that you would input Braille in the same way that you would on a Perkins or refreshable Braille display that offers a keyboard. But really you don't. On such products, the keys are aligned horizontally. Perhaps there's a little diagonal placement for the sake of ergonomics, but fundamentally they are horizontal. With Braille Touch, however, dost 1, 2 and 3 are under each other. This is how they obviously appear when reading the cell, but not when you're inputting. So people who do a lot of input on refreshable Braille displays are going to have to remember to Braille as the cell looks, not as they would on a Braille device. I wonder if making the dots horizontal could be a future setting. I think there's enough screen space for this to work, and I know for my part I'd find it more intuitive because of the amount of Brailling I do on other devices.

Re: Bluetooth Keyboards that Work with Apple TV
I think for the majority of the time I'd still use the Remote app on my iPhone to control Apple TV, but for initial setup the Bluetooth keyboard is wonderful.

Also, as a side note, I first had my Apple Wireless keyboard paired with it and after I paired the Microsoft keyboard I did also notice that the Apple Wireless Keyboard was still paired and both worked at the same time. When I turned my iPhone's Bluetooth on I first had to forget the Apple keyboard on the Apple TV before it worked with my iPhone again. The Microsoft keyboard is actually even an inch and a half or so longer than the Apple keyboard, but at this point I don't really care about the size, I just really like using the keyboard since I don't have to point the remote in the direction of the Apple TV any more. F8 also works as Pause/Play just as on the iPhone and F7 and F9 do skip back/rewind and skip forward/fast forward, respectively. The space bar also seems to work for Play/Pause.

Apparently, the original Apple wireless keyboard that was released in I think 2003 doesn't work, but the one that's been out for some years does. Bluetooth keyboards are an open standard, so really, anything with arrow keys, an Enter key and an Escape key will do the job fine. It certainly speeds things up when you're configuring a new Apple TV to be able to type your Apple ID, password and wifi key on a real keyboard. Due to its size, I'm thinking one of those Rii mini Bluetooth keyboards sold by Speeddots would be ideal to have by the Apple TV.

Re: Another formatting question with Braille Touch
Hi Bob, putting two spaces after a full stop/period was dropped quite some time ago. The convention now is not to do it.

In my profession, two spaces after a period is still the accepted standard for submitting written work. Leaving it to people to insert extra spaces themselves could lead to confusion especially among those learning braille who are now having to learn a new set of formatting rules. By doing nothing, we are in a sense creating a set of conventions that if you write braille with braille touch, you have to format your braille as if you were preparing a print text.

Re: still haven't gotten braille touch

At least they do to me. Prices start around £1 or the equivalent in your country. 2. You need to orientate the phone so that the home button is on the right and the earpiece is on the left. Next try to imagine the dots as being vertically arranged, rather than horizontally arranged, on the screen. So dots 1, 2 and 3 are on the left half of the screen while dots 4, 5 and 6 are on the right half. You may also want to try the flip dots 1-3, 4-6 setting, which can be found in BrailleTouch, accessed in the main settings app on the phone under the advanced heading. Good luck. Chris.

Its unfortunate that the details are not provided in app store. This TapTapSee app seems to work by employing a type of crowd sourcing. In other words, when you take a picture it is actually human beings responding. This is how it knows it is a dog or man on the picture. This also may explain why only general descriptions of objects are provided such as black shoe, $20, yellow blouse, Lysol wipes, etc. I'm not certain yet that any sort of database of known objects is employed as might be the case with bar code scanners. Please try the following for best results: *use under good lighting conditions. (I believe most current update automatically turns on flash if it is needed.) *try to take one picture at a time and give enough time so the person on other side can send back their description *Try placing eye of camera at center of object or what will be the picture to be recognized. *If too proximal to object then back off and if too distal then bring camera a little closer. *Personal suggestion: try not to get too picture happy and snap pictures of rocks, sand, or other frivolous objects as those individuals out there recognizing objects might feel as though they are wasting their time describing meaningless things.

Re: BrailleTouch finger placement
Hi Alan, It is not documented, but you can put your iPhone on a table and type with BrailleTouch sort of like on a Perkins, but with your fingers in the shape of a letter V. Several people have discovered this. Please try it and see if it works for you. Best, Caleb http://brailletouchapp.com/ On 2/2/2013 9:34 AM, Alan Paganelli wrote: Caleb, perhaps an alternative keyboard should be added. My experience is, if I hold my iPhone higher about face high, my fingers get the correct dots most of the time but after awhile, holding the phone that gets tiring. How about using the phone on a table-top with the screen facing up and the fingers forming a letter V. The index fingers of both hands in the bottom center of the screen and the remaining fingers forming the rest of the V. Perhaps it could be called table top move and the normal way, hand-held. - Original Message - *From:* BrailleTouch mailto:viph...@brailletouchapp.com *To:* viphone@googlegroups.com mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com *Sent:* Friday, February 01, 2013 7:40 PM *Subject:* Re: BrailleTouch finger placement Hi Rob and everyone, I'd like to try a suggestion for finding a good finger placement with BrailleTouch for new users and people having trouble with certain characters. Please let me know if this is helpful. When you open the touchscreen braille keyboard, first try to find the four corners of the touchscreen. Let's assume you have not flipped the dots in the Settings. First, type dot 1 for the letter A with your left index finger. Move your finger toward the corner of the iPhone until you find the limits of the touch sensitive area of the screen. Then type an apostrophe with your left ring finger, dot 3. Move this finger toward that corner of the iPhone until you find the limits. Now go back and forth with the letter A and the apostrophe until you have comfortably and reliably located your left hand. Next, do the same thing with your right hand. Start with your right index finger on dot 4 for the at-sign. Then locate your right ring finger on dot 6 for the capital sign. Then check both the at-sign and the capital sign back and forth until you've found a good position for your right hand. I am curious to know if this is helpful for anyone who is new to BrailleTouch or anyone who is having trouble getting certain characters to work. Please let me know.

Visual display on BrailleTouch
On the visual display of BrailleTouch when you are on the keyboard, it displays each character as you type it. It does not display the entire text you have written. The entire text is displayed on the menu screen visually, or at least as much of it as will fit in the case of long messages. We are looking at adding editing capabilities to the braille keyboard in a future update. Grade 2 is still our top priority.

The fact that you can try the app before purchase is excellent. I am a lifelong Braille user and input in Braille every day. And I think this is my problem. When I heard about Braille Touch, I imagined that you would input Braille in the same way that you would on a Perkins or refreshable Braille display that offers a keyboard. But really you don't. On such products, the keys are aligned horizontally. Perhaps there's a little diagonal placement for the sake of ergonomics, but fundamentally they are horizontal. With Braille Touch, however, dost 1, 2 and 3 are under each other. This is how they obviously appear when reading the cell, but not when you're inputting. So people who do a lot of input on refreshable Braille displays are going to have to remember to Braille as the cell looks, not as they would on a Braille device. I wonder if making the dots horizontal could be a future setting. I think there's enough screen space for this to work, and I know for my part I'd find it more intuitive because of the amount of Brailling I do on other devices.
