Hi Anney. Have you made sure that your wizwheels didn't get changed by accident? You know that if you press streight down on them, this will toggle how they navigate, right? I used a focus 40 blue with wizwheels in an earlier beta version, and did not have this issue. Scott On 9/19/12, Annie

Hi Brett. Now that iOS 6 is out, I'm here to say that the Braille Edge is working very well with it. To answer Christine's orriginal question, you may want to look at some of the accessory reviews on applevis related to iOS. I'm sending this on list, since I'm sure others are also interested.

hi Veronica. To answer your navigation question about moving across the screen, there is no way that I know of to move quickly across the screen with a braille display. Sometimes, it's just faster to hit the touch screen. Or, for example, you can use space with L to go to the top or space with

That's not correct Chris. There is no keyboard command to equal to double tap and hold. Other than that, and the custom labels feature, I think pretty much everything you can do on the touch screen can be done with the other devices. Other than jumping around given parts of the screen. Scott On

Yes, you can only have one HQ voice installed at a time. The HQ voice you have depends on your regional settings, and switching from one to the other will remove one HQ voice and replace it with the one you currently have as your default language. HTH, Scott and my braille display Dotty. On
