Hi Chris Be sure and get the executive case if you get the Braille Edge because it needs it. If you get the case, then I think it is as durable as any is. You have to be careful with all of them. Those plastic things are pretty delicate. The manual has improved. It does not have a dot

Hi Brian I had very good luck with 1 to 1 training, so I agree with Gina. When you set up your 1 to 1 appointment, make sure they have a week to look for someone who can work with you. This means make sure you put in the comments section that you are a VoiceOver user. Sincerely, Gigi On

Hi Pamela. I am not sure, but this sounds like auto correction is getting you. When to start to type the web address, try next time to go slow and see if VoiceOver says the web address. If it does, you might want to make sure you don't type a space, which would kill off the auto fill. You can

Galriel, have you tried pairing it yet with your IOS device? That is, when you go into Settings, and get to VoiceOver, is your braille display on the list after you have turned Bluetooth on on both devies? If it is, I bet the paccping pin is either or 1234. If not, maybe the pairing pin

Hi Gabriel: Somebody correct if I am wrong here, but I think you will need to mess with the button on your device to see what happens now that you got it paired. This is because you don’t have any input keys. As far as I know, if your manual doesn’t have them, then there is nowhere you can
