Prizmo Prince! You can have a gold star to put in your crown! You managed it!
Have you had a chance to repeat your SayText success? For, now that you have
done it, I am sure it will get easier!
I like your trick, suggested, I think, by our Wonderful Ester, of using a
light detector app to obtain info as to the best height. I didn't think of this
because, as I have always said, I do have good light perception, but using said
app, one could get a good feel for the height required and, in no time at all,
your body will remember and you won't need to use the extra application.
Nope: your messages have gone back to black, like the rest of us, it must
have been something to do with the royal, blue, blood coming out!
For anyone who is wondering, I have gained a little extra sight after an op
last November, but it comes and goes and is most unsafe, so, when I was using
Prizmo et al last year and the one before, I had only light perception. I say
this so that people don't start thinking that you need sight to make these apps
work, you don't, obviously, aa little helps, but not necessary.
Right! I'm off to dust the throne!
Sandy.
