Looking for information about an Apple Watch 4th Gen and how to use what's on it.

2022-03-02 Thread Kevin Minor
Hi all. I received an Apple Watch 4th Gen as a gift to help me keep track of my pulse. I've discovered some of how to use this watch, but I'm still unsure of a lot of the Watch OS. I'm understanding, for example, the watch has a touch screen like an iPhone, and I interact with it the same way

Orbit Reader/iPhone Update

Hello again, Listers, I'm continuing to play with my new Orbit Reader 20 plus and my iPhone 8, and continuing to grapple with the extra capitalization. My latest discovery is that if I write in computer braille grade 1, where I can view the characters individally, the problem doesn't exist.

The only thing I did not like about the Writer is that when i backspaced something, it would not tell me what i was deleting. Other than that, I love it! Jenn Jenn and Kumi > On Mar 2, 2022, at 8:29 AM, Brandon A. Olivares > wrote: > > Hi, > > I've been seeing discussion of the Orbit

I've only had the Orbit Reader for a week, and "stand alone" mode, which requires using the SD card seems somewhat confusing. I'm using it specifically with my phone and using the iPhone commands. It's purpose is to be used mostly when traveling. I have written some notes using Voice Dream

Hi Kevin, I have an AppleWatch and I’ll try to give you some information. As for the hourly thin, i don’t think there is a way to get it to tell you what time it is on the hour without the sound. There are some tutorials on AppleVis that were done back in 2015 that are somewhat valuable today.

Hi, I've been seeing discussion of the Orbit Reader on the list. This prompted me to look up the product as I had never heard of it before. That's when I discovered the Orbit Writer. I'm wondering if anyone here has used it and what your impression of it is? I don't care as much right now

Hi, Brandon, I just purchased one right before Christmas and absolutely love it. It is very sleek and fits right in my purse. It pears almost instantly, and there is no lag with the keyboard input. I am self-employed and always writing messages on the go. Worth the money for sure. Sent from

If you are creating a note on your Orbit in stand-alone mode, does this problem occur? Next, if you use the buffer edit mode and send what you have written to the phone does the problem occur? You cannot put hard returns in the buffer edit mode, and the VoiceOver feedback when sending to the

I prefer my Hable One. I wouldn't touch an orbit writer. I like that my Hable One has fewer keys then the orbit writer. I also don't have to go into voice over accessibility then braille settings just to connect my Hable One. I just turn on my Hable, go to bluetooth settings and there it is.

You don't need to go into VoiceOver settings to connect the Orbit Writer. You just need to do that once when you initially pair the Orbit Writer. After that, it just connects automatically when you turn on the Orbit Writer. It's also pretty simple. The Orbit Writer basically just has 10 keys

I know manuals aren’t for everyone, but I personally like reading through manuals when I get a new device, and I found the user’s guide for the Apple Watch was pretty good. I brought it up on my iPhone so I could read it while I was playing with my watch. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at

Hmm, I'll have to take a look, but I'd think this could be changed in IOS's keyboard or braille settings. I too love my Orbit Writer. I like the fact that I can pair it to multiple devise and then switch between them. The only thing I thought was a challenge, and this isn't the fault of the

The Hable One is brilliant for unlocking and using my iPhone while it is still in a zipped pocket under my coat. The typing style is exactly like Braille Screen Input which I find more tiring. And nothing beats the Orbit Writer’s navigation wheel plus Select button, which replaces swiping and
