Mandate, I think that's a bit strong. I just spoke with my husband's sister who writes court reports as a part of her work. She said that double spacing is not mandated. In other words, a single or double space after a period ultimately makes no difference and is probably more legacy structure

Place the phone on the table in front of you. Now place your fingers on the phone's touch screen. You should notice how the shape of all 4 fingers on each hand kind of forms a V or think of it as a sea gull. Hope that helps. - Original Message - From: Cheryl Homiak To:

Well, just one short, seems it's off the bottom of the screen and one more flick would get you to it. So, and someone did suggest this, put the cleartext somewhere nearer, though agree, too close has it's risk; I've blown away a perfectly good and lengthy message with one before now. I

I don't have dropbox, have no real clue how it works or why I might want it, Access Note will work without it I assume, anyway that was what I read. I bought the app but at the moment not sure how I am going to use it when and if life settles down maybe I will give it more thought but as I

Fair point. I didn't think of it as I rarely use head phones. I'll use an ear peace for phone calls because I need my hands free so that's why it never occurred to me. - Original Message - From: Woody Anna Dresner To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 02,

I agree with you, I used the Optacon for years in my work, have the sore shoulder to prove I learned to use computers with the Optacon. There are lot of weird fonts, symbols and conventions to print and the only way I really understood that was after I got the Optacon in 1976. I could write

Hi Joe and everyone else, the discussion of Braille Touch, while generating a lot of traffic, is very much on topic for the list. In fact, as others have pointed out, that's what this list is for. You can set filters to weed out Braille Touch discussions, or wait it out and eventually it will

Hi Rose, you don't have to write in uncontracted Braille with Access Note, but if you want to use any of the Braille shortcuts, then you need to toggle contracted Braille off for them to work. Dropbox is a cloud-based storage system. I'd recommend it, because what's nice is that you can put

I agree with this Lauren, Vizwiz is a great initiative, but sometimes I have had responses from web workers that are unhelpful, and a few that are just plane ridiculous. At other times, it's very good. So if Taptapsee can exercise some sort of training and quality control, they may have an edge

My thought is that these apps that depend on crowd sourcing are inconsistent and unreliable. There was a web CAPTCHA solving tool called Solona, which was dependent on one sighted individual and ceased when the person either died or became seriously ill. Also, sometimes folks have a good idea,
