RE: Apple watch tutorials
Hi there Maurice, thanks for those details, it is interesting to hear how someone in the deaf blind world uses one of the apple watchs, very interesting. I also find it interesting to see your statement about using dragon for the mac to create the email, It would appear that dragon on the mac is very good quality and well worth looking at as a voice recognition software. Good luck.

Re: Apple watch tutorials
Hi, Here is a link to the Apple Watch tutorial created by Lisa Salinger. http://www.mysticaccess.com/other-audio-tutorials/audio-tutorial-for-the-apple-watch-by-mystic-access If you have seen Lisa's work on other sites, that should speak for itself on the quality as it is her baby and she had full creative license on the tutorial. It is a 4.5 hour tutorial and it comes in both audio DAISY and MP3 format.
