Stacy here's what you need to do, in order to read your braille book on bard mobile. Go to settings, accessibility, voiceover, braille. Now, once you've found your brailleedge 40 in the list of devices, double tap on it. You need to make sure you have both input and output set to 8 dot braille.

Braille edge 40 and the iPhone SE 20

Hello everyone. I was wondering if someone can help me up. I have my braille edge paired with my iPhone SE 20, but, I can’t seem to read what’s on the phone screen using the Braille display. What am I missing? I have a braille book downloaded on bard in the app, and I want to read it. Thank you

Hi. I think the wired apple keyboards, the full size ones that include a number pad, have their function key in that block of keys directly above the arrow keys but I'm not sure which one it is. I don't have such a keyboard with me right now so I can't check. -Original Message- From:

Hello Richard. Place your finger at the very bottom of the screen and slide up until you hear 3 ascending tones which will open the App Switcher. Sliding up from the bottom with two tones is equivalent to the home key Starting at the top of the screen and sliding down to tones will give you

Yes, the function key is usually the furthest on the left at the bottom of the keyboard. If it is a full-size keyboard with the numeric keypad, you're going to find it where the insert key would be on a PC keyboard in the six pack. Sent from John Panarese's iPhone > On Mar 3, 2022, at 12:15

I'm not a Mac user, but I use keyboards with my iPhone, and the FN key is usually a single key on the same row as the spacebar. Isn't it usually the far left key? It has nothing to do with the f1 through f12 keys. Richard My web site; https://www.turner42.com/ -Original Message-

Thanks Richard. Sorry you have a cold. At least you hope that's what it is. Truthfully, I don't quite know how to access files on an SD Card with the Orbit Reader. I've removed it when using the Orbit Reader with my iPhone. Stand alone mode seems confusing, and I don't have any way to get files

Good morning: I don't recall how to fix this; but, in Siri, when I say (in dictation) a word such as e.g. probation, Siri says "probation officer." Can someone tell me where I can reset this? Thanks. -Orig -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Another thing I like about the Orbit Writer is that I can use it with my Apple Watch. Since Bluetooth keyboards aren't supported on the Apple Watch, I don't think you could use a Hable One or a Ribo with the Apple Watch. You also can't use querty Bluetooth keyboards with the Apple Watch, so
