RE: Bluetooth on a Mac

2021-04-06 Thread jazzdressage 
Go to your Bluetooth settings in system settings, make sure it is turned on, 
then turn on the device you want pairing, I believe you then add the device, 
after the Mac searches and finds it, select the device and OK it.

Hope this gets you started in the right direction.

RE: Newspaper archives

Hello, Ian,

Typically university libraries have access to such material. Have you tried 
your university's online library? Also, you may try Google Scholar.
Scholar.google.com
I think is the URL.

I hope this helps.

RE: Reading in Safari?

2021-02-27 Thread jazzdressage 
Hi there,

 

Yes, you can read the text. Turn off quick navigation and use your arrow keys. 
I believe is either command or control key with arrows that will read word by 
word. Use just the arrows, left and right, for characters. And up and down 
arrows to read lines.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi, group.

My question is about reading in Safari.

I navigate by headings with VO-Command-h. If I want to read text under a 
particular heading, how can I do that? Can I read this text line by line? Can I 
reread a word by character in these lines that was not clear to me?

If yes, how can I read by line, word and by character?

Thanks!

RE: Apprising Uber drivers of blindness in advance of pick-up

2021-02-26 Thread jazzdressage 
Mike,

I always let them know when the ride is booked via messaging. That being said I 
use the native app, never used the one for BlindSquare. Does that affiliation 
allow you to message drivers?

I keep my messages very simple. I am blind and use a white cane.
Or
Look for man with white cane.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Apprising Uber drivers of blindness in advance of pick-up

Hi.

I use Uber quite frequently, mostly through the BlindSquare app.  Since I live 
in a metropolitan  area, there are frequently instances where lots of cars go 
by, and the driver, not knowing that I can’t see him/her, just sits there, 
waiting for a passenger to get in to the car.

Is there a way, or perhaps a template that, as soon as my ride has been 
confirmed, to tell the driver that I can be recognized by my white cane? 
Calling the driver as soon as the ride is confirmed doesn’t work, since some of 
them speak neither German nor English.

I am wondering if others have this problem and if so, how they address the 
issue.  Would I be better off using the native Uber app instead of BlindSquare?

With best regards,

Mike
