Hi Guys. I have been doing some experiments with Notes and braille, specifically brf files. Hey, guys, Apple never intended for it to be used like this, but Notes will swallow a whole brf file such as o you would get from Web Braille. Notes will do transformation such as making all the text

Hi, Gigi, I'm glad this works for you. I tried reading a book in Notes and it seemed that the file was too big, because my VO kept freezing and starting over, no matter how many times I rebooted the IPod. I've basically started reading larger files in Safari and Filer. Take care, Teresa We

Hi Teresa. I don't how I can use Safari in my case, since I'm getting the files off the internet. However, where do you get this Filer program? Does it come from the App store, and how much is it? Also, in as so far as your Vo messing up when you did a big file, I'm in Lion kitty. I don't

Hi Stacey. It was real easy to get it in there. Get TextEdit to accept brf files. On my computer these days, I told TextEdit to open brf files. Then I did a transformation by first selecting all the text, going to edit, and down to transformations. Then I chose to make all the text lower case.

Hi, Gigi, I use Filer on my IPod, and I use textEdit on the Mac for brf files. Notes is fine on the Mac, but really struggles for me on the Ipod. It used to be possible to read brf files with Safari, but now there doesn't seem to be an eight-dot mode on the Mac. Teresa Slow down; you'll get

Hi Teresa. I have an 8 dot mode on my Mac. That's how I got computer braille to come up so I could read grade 2. Do you not get a choice for 8 dots when you go into the braille option in the vo utility? I use TextEdit too for brf files, but I can't stop TextEdit from showing control

Ah, I didn't look in the utility for the 8-dot Braille option. I may have to assign a keystroke to it, as I don't notice it by default. Thanks, Teresa Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.--Richard P. Feynman On Apr 10, 2012, at 11:26 AM, Eugenia Firth wrote: Hi Teresa.
