Introduction, iPhones, and Apps

Hi All, First, my apology if this comes through twice. My name is Chris and I am totally blind, brand new to this list, and quite new to the iDevice world. I just started using the iPod Touch 5 (as my first iDevice) in mid-July. Now that I am getting my feet wet so-to-speak and am

Emailing Scanned Material from KNFBReader: Is it Possible

Hi All, In the KNFBReader app, is there a way to email a scanned file directly from the app? Thus far the only way I have found to do so is to export it and then email it from another app. This to me seems like a really weird way to deal with this and seems like something that would have been

Privacy and Dialing

Hi All, ON the iPhone, using VO, how do you dial a number or enter say your credit card information without others hearing it? In other words, thanks to my use of an iPod, I know how to enter numbers on the iPhone, what I do not know, is how to do so without anyone hearing if you do not want

Bluetooth Scannars and DigitEyes

Hi All, Has anyone here used a Bluetooth laser scanner for an app such as DigitEyes and if so, did it make the scans easier? I actually find the scans to be pretty quick but was curious as they indicate in the app that the Bluetooth scanners can help. Have a great rest of the day! Chris

Batteries and the StandScan Pro: A Question

Hi All, I just received my StandScan yesterday and am loving it with KNFBReader! However, I am having issues with the battery pack and was curious if anyone else has had this issue or if yours seems to work fine. Sadly, it could be that I am simply doing something wrong that is really

Is the Batch Mode in KNFBReader Update Broken?

How to Upgrade

Hi All, Please forgive the likely really newbie question, but I have never installed a major update on an iDevice or even in the apple world in general (e.g., 7.1.2 to 8.1) and am still deciding if I want to do so. Someone mentioned to me, or I heard something somewhere on this list, that

Hi, For your first question, it should say something like 10 degrees clockwise, if sow, what it is telling you is that you need to rotate the device by that much in that direction. So for example if it says 4 degrees clockwise, you would turn the device very slightly in a clockwise direction.
