Re: iPad questions

[Richard Turner]

Is this an iPad one or 2?
I'm not sure, but if it cannot be updated to a more recent iOS, perhaps 
Jonathan Mosen's book iOS without the Eye for iOS 9 could still be available.
Perhaps turning on Braille input within the VoiceOver settings would work.
Braille on an iPad could be tricky, but give it a shot if it is there under 
rotor settings.
Good luck,
Richard

Hi Arlene,

Thank you very much for all your helpful suggestions.  She has been using 
Verizon for over 20 years, so switching to T-Mobile is pretty much not an 
option, but not an impossibility, maybe!  LOL  LOL  We'll run it by her to 
see what she thinks.  Thanks again.

Re: iPad Questions

[Arlene]

Mike, if she has her heart set on an ipad, an ipad mini might be best. We 
looked at the other sizes of ipads, and the ipad mini is such a good size 
device. With digits she can use it very well for a stand alone phone, and  the 
ipad doesn't need to be near another device such as an iphone, Providing that 
she would have the internet mobile service  from t-mobile it would be very much 
like a cell phone. If she didn't have the internet mobile  service then it 
would work like a skype phone meaning that you would have to be connected with 
a wifi connection or connection through a  hotspot. At that point digits is 
about $10 to $25 at the most of which you would need to talk to t-mobile about 
the details, of which this is much like other internet phone services. The 
quality of the service is very good. Considering the difficulties with her 
hands, if someone you all know has an ipad she could test out for a while to 
see if she can take to it, that might be good for a period of time before she 
goes through with getting an ipad. Also I'm considering with her coming from 
her using the button phone. Not knowing all the details about her, the 
coordination of her fingers on the touch screen with all of the swipes and so 
on might be sort of difficult with the screen being so sensitive to the touch. 
Possibly using a keyboard with the ipad that might be what she needs.

Re: iPad Questions

[Arlene]

This is what we know. There is an app, it's called digits. This is from 
t-mobile. Digits can be very easily installed on an ipad. Then you can make and 
receive phone calls. This requires t-mobile service for digits to work. This is 
our understanding, in order for digits to work any time, anywhere, you have to 
have a mobile internet line from t-mobile, however, if you don't have a mobile 
internet line digits would work just as good on  a wifi connection. If you're 
somewhere and you don't have a wifi, but you do have a device with hotspot in 
it you can connect the ipad to the hotspot and it will work just fine. We do 
have digits on our ipad and we just canceled our mobile internet line   since 
it continues to work fine on our wifi. If we ever have a need to  take the ipad 
anywhere we could just use one of our phones as a hotspot or find a wifi 
connection. While you can have an ipad and it could be everything, including a 
phone, when it comes to phones we prefer to use our iphones. What's great is 
having all these different options. To get more detailed information about 
digits I recomend that you call t-mobile. The t-mobile number is 800-866-2453.

  You cannot make phone calls with an iPad whether it has cellular or not. The 
cellular means you can use it for GPS or internet access when not on WiFi. 
  Is there a reason not to simply get an iPhone?
  The interface is the same, you have a smaller screen area so the dexterity 
would be less of an issue, and you can do everything including make phone calls.


  The iPad Mini 4 is a good suggestion if you decide on an iPad. If you go with 
cellular, you will still be paying for a data plan.
  Of course, you can use Skype or FaceTime to make calls to other Skype or 
FaceTime users.

Re: iPad Questions

[Arlene]

She can talk with t-mobile about their digits service that she could use with 
the ipad that she decides that's best for her. Digits is phone service you can 
have on the ipad. I have a ipad mini, which works very well with digits, and 
the phone sound is good quality, and it needs to be an ipad that takes a sim 
card. Including the data plan it costs about $35 a month. Without the data you 
might be able to use it on wifi and with the wifi it would be $10 a month. 
T-mobile can give you all the details. While that's all you would need is the 
ipad with digits, I also have an iphone. So the way that it works, the digits 
is my cell phone number too, so when a call comes in I could either answer the 
call on the ipad or the phone, though you do not have to have an iphone to  use 
digits.

Correct, you can’t send regular SMS messages with an iPad unless you also 
have an iPhone on the same WiFi network or you are using some sort of app. I 
believe in the US google Voice would allow you to use your iPad much like a 
phone.

Yes, if you have an iPhone and an iPad, there is a setting that will allow 
you to receive calls on the iPad if the iPhone is in range.

You can also double tap on a contact phone number on the iPad and make a 
call, again if the iPhone is in range.

But, without an iPhone, you would use FaceTime or Skype.

As for text messages, you can text using your email address to other Apple 
device owners with an iPad, but I do not think you can text to a non-Apple 
device. That one I'm not sure of, so take that with a grain of salt.

Re: iPad Questions

[Marie]

I agree on this but just want to add my two cents. I have no mobility problems 
whatsoever and have used the IPhone and the IPad Mini 4. In my opinion, the 
phone is the much better choice and I can do everything with it faster, it is 
smaller to carry around and you only need one device. This is, of course just 
my opinion. LOL

Re: iPad Questions

[Mike B.]

Actually what I'm trying to talk her into is to borrow an iPhone or iPad and 
play around with each of them to find out what level of difficulty she might 
have with either device.  Going by what anyone suggests will not be good 
since only she knows the amount of dexterity she has and by actual useage 
she can determine which device puts the least amount of stress on her hands 
/ fingers.  She will also need to determine if the braces she wears on each 
thumb will hinder her in any way with gestures.  I want to thank you all 
again because with what information you've provided it'll help her make a 
decision on her own to a large degree.

speak for her, & I don't know just how limited her hand useage is.  Thanks

Correct, you can’t send regular SMS messages with an iPad unless you also 
have an iPhone on the same WiFi network or you are using some sort of app. I 
believe in the US google Voice would allow you to use your iPad much like a 
phone.

Yes, if you have an iPhone and an iPad, there is a setting that will allow 
you to receive calls on the iPad if the iPhone is in range.

You can also double tap on a contact phone number on the iPad and make a 
call, again if the iPhone is in range.

But, without an iPhone, you would use FaceTime or Skype.

As for text messages, you can text using your email address to other Apple 
device owners with an iPad, but I do not think you can text to a non-Apple 
device. That one I'm not sure of, so take that with a grain of salt.

  I have absolutely no knowledge about iPads, so here goes.  A friend is 
blind with hand dexterity problems, & was told by others not to get the 
large iPad, but to get the midsize or small iPad.  From doing a little 
research you can get these iPads with WiFi or with WiFi & cellular.  If we 
get her one with WiFi & celular will she be able to make phone calls with 
the iPad?  Do the mini iPads have dictation for texting & emailing like the 
iPhones?  When we buy her this iPad does it matter who we buy it from, i.e, 
should we buy it from her cell carrier, Apple or other wise...?  All input 
will be gratefully accepted & greatly appreciated.  Thank y'all very much.

You cannot make phone calls with an iPad whether it has cellular or not. The 
cellular means you can use it for GPS or internet access when not on WiFi.
Is there a reason not to simply get an iPhone?
The interface is the same, you have a smaller screen area so the dexterity 
would be less of an issue, and you can do everything including make phone calls.

The iPad Mini 4 is a good suggestion if you decide on an iPad. If you go with 
cellular, you will still be paying for a data plan.
Of course, you can use Skype or FaceTime to make calls to other Skype or 
FaceTime users.

Hi, the iPad does have dictation and email. I recommend she gets the iPad 
Mini 4. I have the mini 2, but it doesn't have all the somewhat recent 
hardware. I think she will need her phone with her to make phone calls.

Hi All,

I have absolutely no knowledge about iPads, so here goes.  A friend is blind 
with hand dexterity problems, & was told by others not to get the large 
iPad, but to get the midsize or small iPad.  From doing a little research 
you can get these iPads with WiFi or with WiFi & cellular.  If we get her 
one with WiFi & celular will she be able to make phone calls with the iPad? 
Do the mini iPads have dictation for texting & emailing like the iPhones? 
When we buy her this iPad does it matter who we buy it from, i.e, should we 
buy it from her cell carrier, Apple or other wise...?  All input will be 
gratefully accepted & greatly appreciated.  Thank y'all very much.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Re: iPad Questions

[Richard Turner]

You cannot make phone calls with an iPad whether it has cellular or not. The 
cellular means you can use it for GPS or internet access when not on WiFi.
Is there a reason not to simply get an iPhone?
The interface is the same, you have a smaller screen area so the dexterity 
would be less of an issue, and you can do everything including make phone calls.

The iPad Mini 4 is a good suggestion if you decide on an iPad. If you go with 
cellular, you will still be paying for a data plan.
Of course, you can use Skype or FaceTime to make calls to other Skype or 
FaceTime users.

This is very true,  being so much screen, one forgets how many fingers you 
have hovering over it.  So that, keeping all the spare ones out the way, 
takes practice itself.

The screen sensitivity problem is most likely that another finger is 
occasionally very slightly touching the active display while moving a finger 
across it. Contrary to our beliefs, the display requires no pressure, and 
only the barest touch, to activate.

 To access the rotor setting, is the same as how you access voiceover

Re: iPad questions

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

question 1. Its saying thumbnail width, not whip.  This is said along with  
other spacial information when you do a 3 finger single tap on the screen.  For 
example.  If your on the first app on your home screen, voiceover will report 
the place of voiceover focus and say row 1 column 1(position of the app) the 
page the app is on, thumbnail width, (the size of the object in focus, etc.

Question 2. A side bar is a pop up on the screen.  Some times instead of going 
to a new page when you double tap on something, a new window will appear.

3. Like others have mentioned, a part of your hand that is holding the device 
is probably coming in contact with the screen.  This is pretty easy to do with 
an iPad I’ve found.

4.  In a nut shell, its harder to put apps on top of on one another because 
there is more space in between app icons on your home screen.  Voiceover tells 
you your finger is on an app before you are physically on it with your finger.  
This is fine for opening apps, but you need to actually be on it to create 
folders.

Re: iPad questions

[Jennie Facer]

Hi,

I can sort of answer some of your questions.

You need to get into an edit field such as the search field. Now use the roter 
to get to typing mode. Then swipe up and down to switch between the two.

Putting apps into folders is very tricky on the iPad. It takes a lot of 
practice.

I'm sorry I'm not too much help, but I can assure you it can be done.

 3. The screen seems really sensitive; it seems that programs barely open 
 when Ii am gliding my finger over them. Not so with my phone.
 
 4.  I am trying to put some apps into folders. Whenn Ii attempt to pput one 
 app on top of another for this purpose it someties does not work. Why?
 
 
 5. Is there a rotor or some equivalent gesture for the same settings? 
 On that subject, how can I get touch typing?
 
 Enough for now!

RE: ipad questions

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Stephanie,

As far as the email account, just go to Settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars,
double tap on the account you want to delete and then double tap on Delte
which is the very last button so you can do a 4-finger tap near the bottom
of the screen to jump to it immediately.
Now double tap on Add, select Gmail as the account type and fill in the
information (user name, password etc.)

As for syncing apps, go to Settings, iTunes and App Store, then turn off
what you don't want to sync between devices, you have 3 choices, Music, Apps
and Books. If you turn Apps off on your iPad and buy an app on your iPhone
or computer it will not sync automatically.


Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: ipad questions

Hi all,
I have an iphone 4s and an ipad 3.
I have some questions and have no idea how to dix this.
First of all, How do I delete the default gmail account and put another
email account on my ipad? I don't want to use my apple id address to send
emails but an address from my studio website which I want as the default
email account.
Also, how do I stop my apps from syncing from my iphone to my ipad?
Thanks,
Steph

Re: ipad questions

[Christopher Chaltain]

and to make an email account the default, go into Settings - Mail, 
Contacts, Calendars and jump by heading or flick to the right until you 
get into the Mail section and at the bottom of that section, double tap 
on Default Account. Now you can change which email account is your default.

RE: iPad questions

[Cristobal]

The biggest thing probably to get used to are the containers on the iPad.
They're basically frames on the screen. Other than that, and for a few
exceptions such as pinching, four finger swiping, etc. gestures are the
same. 

If your need isn't immediate, I would perhaps suggest waiting a few extra
weeks to see when or if Apple's going to introduce their mythical iPad Mini
sometime in October. The iPad's great and all, but in my case, I find myself
more often than not going to my iPhone for most of my tasks that don't
involve being out and about and using my iPad more like a laptop just
because of the size of the screen you need two hands instead of one.

Subject: iPad questions

Hi everyone.
I'm going to be getting an iPad soon, and I have a few questions. I
understand that there are some gestures which are iPad specific. Where can I
specifically learn about these? Is there anything else I should know in
terms of screen layout for apps like settings, the app store, or any apps
which come standard with the iPad? Lastly, I'd like to get a speaker dock
which will accommodate the iPad. I realize that I have an abundance of
bluetooth options. However, I'd like to be able to physically dock the iPad
so that I can charge it while listening to books, watching movies, etc.
Thanks so much.
Allison

RE: iPad questions

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

Go to iBlindTech.com, look under Democast for an episode (maybe episode 7? I 
can't recall) that is specific for iPad gestures.
