Re: To Unified English Braille Readers

I know for a fact that NVDA shows typeforms in braille. That's one of the amazing features it has over Voiceover. Now, if the Mac would just accept that I want Linux on it... I'd be able to test BRLTTY, Orca and Liblouis there to make sure typeforms are shown on Linux too. But the Mac drags its

Voice dream reader cutting out

I was having some other issues and ended up restarting the Mac. It seems to have stopped doing that now. I should probably be reporting to Microsoft though, because there does seem to be an issue if one navigates up into the header section of the document with VO. It gets busy, yet some

Hi Mark. Were you doing this on an I phone or Mac? I have never seen the bold font or any other font come up on my Braille display. I’m not even sure how to do that as I know how to do this using Duxbury but I’ve never done it on my Focus with an I phone. So please enlighten me. I know how

Re: Music and iPhone six.

Hi, Yes, it should. Your Apple ID should still be signed in in the iTunes & Appstore area of settings. What it should do is make it so that you either download music directly to your iPhone, or use iTunes to purchase the music and transfer it over via iTunes as well. That's what I'd expect

Hi, In settings, music on the iPhone, try logging out of your Apple ID. This should stop the streaming music. If you have Apple Music or iTunes match, this may be a problem though. Later... Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 28, 2016, at 8:54 AM, Stacey Robinson wrote: >
