Hi, Now that is an excellent point and one I had not previously considered. I have Optasia and a Focus 14 Blue. Optasia has several versions especially formatted to be read in braille including Greek and Hebrew. I have a 128 GB 6S+ which includes several browsers as well as Microsoft word. Probably the only thing holding me back is my beginning Braille skills. I'm still learning. I'm in fact waiting for Hadley to bring their revised contracted Braille courses back online to continue my studies. However I had never considered Optasia on the iPhone before. Thanks for the idea. Merv

I use Logos 3 on my computer. While not everything is useable, I can do searches and read books. I bought Logos 4 but it was unusable so I haven't attempted an upgrade from there. More on topic for this list, I tried the IOS Logos 4 two or three years ago and couldn't use it. Based on Keith's experience I am going to try again. One resource I use a lot are the books available from Optasia Ministries. They are in RTF and HTML formats so I don't know how they could be used on an IOS device but imagine someone else does. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Merv Keck Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2016 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Accessible Bible Commentary? I had Logos 4 Platinum Edition plus a lot of other books and addins when I had vision. However, once I lost the ability to effectively see the screen I could no longer use Logos on my PC. Once Libronix sold out to faithLife they lost interest in accessibility and even reassigned their accessibility programmer to a different project so I not only never upgraded to five or six Platinum or beyond, but I uninstalled it before moving to Windows 10. I literally had about three thousand resources I could no longer access. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Keith Bundy Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2016 1:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Accessible Bible Commentary? Hi, Ralph. I am running IOS 9.3 on an iphone 6. I downloaded Logos from the app store and don't remember a version number. But it updates regularly and, though it takes a bit of working around some things, it is pretty much usable. I have purchased some books through it and now including free resources, have about 116 books in my Logos library. I have never found the version on the computer to be very user-friendly with a screen reader. However, if you ever want to know my work-arounds to make it usable on the iphone, please feel free to email me offbbist and I will be glad to help you.
