A popover on an iPad when using a Bluetooth keyboard or a braille display

2015-10-05 Thread Mary Otten
My question is simple. How can you dismiss a pop over when you were using a braille display or a Bluetooth keyboard? For instance, on the iPad, if you open the notes app and don't have any notes, you are in a pop over, which you must get rid of before you can reach the button that says "new

I haven't really followed the discussion on this Bluetooth keyboard thing, because I almost never use a Bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone. But I have a friend who does, and he has not upgraded his phone. However he did upgrade his iPad mini, where he sometimes uses his keyboard. And it works

Percentage adjustment difference

2015-09-19 Thread Mary Otten
I noticed that there is a difference in the increment with which you can adjust the speed of voices. In the rotor, it is 5%. When you're in the voiceover, speech, specific voice adjustment, it is 10%. I wonder why that is. Certainly 10% is often too much, especially with foreign languages. Mary

I first upgraded my for S. And I tried both Siri voices and was very unhappy, because of the really long pauses between sentences and lines. But just recently, I bit the bullet and upgraded my 5S, which will soon be replaced with a 6S, whenever T-Mobile gets them in ships one out to me. Since

iTunes back up questions

I just did a back up of my iPad preparatory to installing iOS 9. When I went to get the update, it told me I had purchased items which should be transferred, and did I want to continue anyway? So I canceled out and tried to find a way to get the purchased items to transfer over. I did a "sink".

Two small features in iOS 9 that I really I'm going to love

Have you ever had to copy out one of those long garbage letter number passwords and paste it somewhere else? That alone is going to make the text selection feature of iOS 9 a huge timesaver for me. Plus, when I have to reenter my email address or password, as is so common, presto, copy text.
