I find this interesting, Samsung did this with the galaxy s8, Their standard s8 has the screan size of a 5.5 inch and the larger device is 6.x all from the way the screen raps around the sides of the device. As for the OLED screens, Surely they thought about this before they started

There is an option in Tinkertool to allow the Finder to view hidden files. Generally not very useful for those that feel comfortable enough in the terminal. After all, it is just running an option command behind the scenes. Best wishes, Jonathan Cohn > On Aug 4, 2017, at

Reading ePub files on the mac

I have a friend who needs to read his ePub textbooks on the mac. Two Questions about this: 1. I know ePub books read in iBooks, but I’m finding navigating the text clunky. The up and down arrows go from page to page, it seems, and not line by line, so I’m having to use the trackpad rotor

Re: 7 drastic changes coming to your iPhone with iOS 11 - CNET

OK, I'll be the first to disagree. :) It's true we're blind users, but we can't just put our heads in the sand and be ignorant of changes that impact sighted users. Also, some of those changes, as with the notification and control centers will most certainly impact us. We just don't know yet

Re: Unlocking Users & Groups

Hi Simon, Single User mode is not necessary to accomplish this. It's probably safer, but since Single User mode isn't particularly accessible, there are ways of getting around such things. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Aug 6, 2017, at 02:29, Simon Fogarty

You’ll need to use the VoiceOver navigation commands to successfully navigate books in iBooks. The regular arrows don’t work effectively. The application, iText Express will read EPUB books as well., > On Aug 6, 2017, at 3:15 PM, Kat DeNicola wrote: > > I have a

Re: Dragon Dictate for the Mac and VoiceOver

At least in the early days the dictation in the mac os10 was a flavor of this software. Depending on your goals the current dictation is quite good. It can serve for text input. It can also trigger apple script, prform commands, and do just about any task you might want using it. You might

Re: 7 drastic changes coming to your iPhone with iOS 11 - CNET

Hello Mark. Thanks for posting these articles. However, I'd prefer to know what is going to happen to the I phone with Voice Over rather than knowing what a sighted person will be able to do with an I phone because I don't use the phone in the sighted way. I double tap and interact with my

Re: 7 drastic changes coming to your iPhone with iOS 11 - CNET

We share the univers with the sighted population. We are using mainstream devices. Instead of making noise about the lack of blind perspectives, appreciate the advancements coming our way and take comfort in knowing we will not be left behind. If you are apprehensive about the changes, do

Re: 7 drastic changes coming to your iPhone with iOS 11 - CNET

Kawal, My take is this. We do use the iPhone pretty much as a sighted person does but we have the adaptation that comes with Voiceover. The experience really is not that different. If you want the blind perspective, go to Applevis. From E.T.'s Keyboard. . . "God for you is where you

Re: 7 drastic changes coming to your iPhone with iOS 11 - CNET

What I'm trying to say in a nut shell, I want to do all these things with Voice Over and if I knew how to do these new things before the operating system came out, I'd be very happy. I also know we need to keep up to date with what's going on but why is it always a sighted prospective, as I

Re: 7 drastic changes coming to your iPhone with iOS 11 - CNET

Considering that blindness, including low vision to as good as 20/200 (6/60), which uses screen enlargement and not usually VoiceOver, is approximately 0.5% of the population, I would say that the sighted population shares the world with us, often grudgingly. If one wants things to be announced

What is a good Bluetooth keyboard with numeric keypad for iDevices? Logitech perhaps? It does not need to be foldable, tiny, less then full size. I was looking at the Apple Magic keyboard with numeric keypad but may as well consider another brand like Logitech. Thanks. From E.T.'s

It actually costs about 114 from amazon at least, and it says on there it only pairs to 4 devices. I hate keypads though. My Logitech pairs to 3 devices, and is only 80 bucks, so I will stick to it. JMO > On Aug 6, 2017, at 8:00 PM, Aleeha Dudley wrote: > > Hi,
