Hello, Sleep focus is actually quite good at not making any noise while it’s activated. In order for any real actions to happen, you have to press the crown for a few seconds unlock the watch. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 29, 2023, at 6:57 AM, Tom Rash wrote: > > I click the crown three

A keyboard maybe fine if you are at home a lot, but I use my phone a lot when I am out and about, I may need to send or reply to a text while I am walking with my dog and in those situations a keyboard just is not a solution. I also feel that a powerful and small device such as an iPhone should

What does this Hable 1 cost not that I want to use a braille keyboard and in many situations I couldn't even if I wanted to because of hand injuries, but if I remembe rcorrectly it is a pretty expensive device and if I have to spend half as much as my iPhone costs just so I can use it

If you can't type braille, that is a good reason why the Hable wouldn't be for you. The cost of the Hable is $350. It is expensive, but very worth it. You can do so much more with it, then just type text messages. I don't even have to be touching my phone, and I can use the hable to control

I agree with that, Sieghard. The only way I'd get a keyboard would be for at home calling the bank or other offices requiring a lot of dialing dialog. We have a landline with Internet, so right now, I'm just using that. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com

I use dictation within apps sometimes.  But that involves getting into the app and it's way easier sometimes just to invoke siri and go. Marda On 8/29/2023 4:34 AM, dudleym via VIPhone wrote: Why use siri? When I'm dictateing or replying to messages I focus into the text box and two finger

I definitely agree with Sieghard on all points. I have an Orbit Writer and a Zoomax braille e-reader, which I primarily use at home, in the car or when staying somewhere, especially when I didn't bring my laptop. I don't take them out and about with me, except occasionally I'll take the Orbit

When I want the watch to not talk, I mute VO the same as on my iPhone; I do the three finger double tap. When I want it talking again, like in the morning, I repeat the gesture. Of course, I usually have to press the digital crown once first to get VO awake, but that way it can track whatever

A few months back Hable was on sale from the Hable website I'll keep the list posted if it goes back on sale. In June or May I can't remember which it was $200 on sale. So that is worth watching out for. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Joshua
