Reviving an old iPad

2019-09-30 Thread Joe Orozco
Hi, I have a 10 inch iPad I'm considering resurrecting. I don't know how old it is. It was probably one of the first, if not the first, to feature the lightning connector, if that gives you some idea. I'm guessing this older model is no longer being supported, and if so, how much functionality

Lazarillo

2019-09-30 Thread Joe Orozco
Please forgive the second GPS question of the day. How can I set Lazarillo to display current route status while following a walking route? On the screen it will show the walking directions, but I think I'm an idiot and cannot see the number of feet before switching to the next turning point. I'd

Nearby Explorer and Longer Walking Routes

2019-09-30 Thread Joe Orozco
Hello, When comparing Nearby Explorer to Google Maps and Lazarillo, it seems Nearby Explorer unnecessarily complicates a walking route. This weekend I typed in a destination. From my starting point, Google Maps and Lazarillo outlined a route that was basically a capital L, whereas Nearby Explorer

Am I to understand the Instant Pot cannot really be recommended to blind users at this time? I understand the Bluetooth model was good, but if it’s no longer being sold... Thanks for any clarification. Joe On 9/11/19, Cristobal Munoz wrote: > The Wi-Fi model only works with the instant pot

Dictation Issues

Hi, is anyone else experiencing issues with dictation on the latest build of iOS? Seemingly with increasing regularity, dictation will just stop working. It’ll bing the way it’s supposed to but then just flip off and put me back in an edit field. I mostly notice it on the Messages app. I close the

Understanding Volume Controls

OK, so here's the problem. I used to be the nerdy type of person who would read user manuals front to back in order to learn every possible in and out of a device. Then I got older, accumulated responsibilities, life got in the way, and dang it if I can't seem to figure out what is likely a very

Re: Best choice for a bluetooth keyboard

2019-07-21 Thread Joe Orozco
I bought the Pluggable Bluetooth keyboard from AT Guys at the NFB convention. It folds in three and fits into a small portable book form. The keys are exceptional, but note that it does not have the numberpad. Keep in mind that using JAWS with laptop key layout can be advantageous though. Joe;

Help with Feeddler

Hi, Is anyone else still using Feeddler to read RSS feeds, and if so, have you been encountering a weird (null) error anytime you go to read articles? I can’t seem to get any of the articles to open. I’ve temporarily switched back to Lire, but I prefer Feeddler if I could get that issue resolved.

Hi, I tried using Seeing AI last night to recognize the bar code on a soup can. No luck. I turned the can every which way, but whereas before I could get some sort of a bleep from the app, last night I got a whole lot of nothin'. Yes, I'm aware this could be a matter of the user being a little

Hi, can anyone speak to the advantages of the Seeing Eye GPS app over Nearby Explorer? I think it's still called Seeing Eye, the one formerly developed by Sendero? There are aspects about Nearby Explorer I enjoy, like the ability to hear approaching streets while walking as well as the ability to

Hi, Does anyone have experience using Artiphon’s Instrument 1? It’s largely driven by an iOS app, which is not completely accessible. I’ve contacted the company, but if anyone has successfully figured out a way to maximize the instrument, I would be most grateful for tips and tricks. Thank you
