Yeah, I think the reading portion is not dependent on Voiceover at all so therefore doesn't track with the braille. You can read with braille but it's not synced. Also if you needto get speech and braille together you have to just search. It's really not a workable app for Braille which is

I use uber regularly with my guide dog and am very pleased with the results. I have had one or two drivers not want to take my dog but I’m able to find this out in advance because I call the driver to let them know I am a blind person with a guide dog. I think that’s a reasonable courtesy and I

My understanding is that you can do this in the Pro account, but last time I checked it wasn’t accessible. I know they were supposedly working on it though and someone with a Pro account might be able to comment. On Jan 23, 2015, at 1:46 PM, E V e_vi...@comcast.net wrote: Hi List, If

So, when this was only available for the Ipad you had to have a Live365 subscription to edit documents. Is this no longer required? My employer has a Live365 account but it only allows us to use the nasty web ersions of Office so was no good to me for the Ipad version of word. On 11/7/14, Alan

Well it doesn't look like accessibility has improved at all. Almost impossible to edit a document even with a keyboard. Nice that you can do basic editing without subscribing but I don't really think it's very useable yet frankly. Still pretty disappointing sadly. On 11/7/14, Joseph FreeTech

Quick nav has been added to Braille in iOS 8. Unfortunately it's toggled on and doesn't work in edit fields properly. A fix for many has been to add a Bluetooth keyboard and use it to turn quick nav off. Once off, it will stay off for Braille and things will work better. On 11/1/14, Tom Lange
