hi
is there actually a word processor yet or something better than notes that
lets you edit on the phone and veiw documents that would be a great note

Re: IOS 4.1, blutooth keyboard and the iPod Touch as a notetaker for school?

2010-09-14 Thread Sandy Tomkins
Hi,

I have been sending notes via email to an email list while I am  on my 
holidays. The issue of the subject line containing the whole message is easily 
overcome if you just start your note with a suitable title and then press 
return a couple of times as if composing a new paragraph. This seems to work 
for me. When I haven't done this, I just make sure to take the cursor, double 
tapping when in the edit field, and holding down the backspace on lmy think 
outside keyboard, till I hear the empty box sort of sound that the iPhone makes 
when you have reached the end or the beginning of something.

I really do think this will be tyhe way to go re note taking etc. Plus, 
there are programs like Readdledocs, which I do have, but haven't got to grips 
with yet, but feel sure it will make editing and moving docs between the iphone 
and a P.C./Mac even more efficient.

At the moment, as I have not, and can't, supdate my iphone's os to 4.1 
which should improve my control of the edit fields of the iphone via the 
keyboard, I am still having difficulty editing, but anticipate improvements 
when I get logged onto a good internet connection and can upgrade!

As far as Braille displays are concerned, within the year we should see 
something really radicle and more affordable coming onto the market!

All the best from balmy Italia! Sandy.

Hello Sandy,
We already have an affordable braille display called Refredhable Braille 
from American Printing House for Blind for $1,600 with 18 cells. That's the 
most affordable I've seen yet!

Re: IOS 4.1, blutooth keyboard and the iPod Touch as a notetaker for school?

2010-09-14 Thread Mary Otten
The word processor on the Mac is called text edit. If you purchase Iwork for 
the Mac, you get an office suite that includes Pages. Given that this is the 
IOS device-centered list, I imagine that Ricardo's reference to Pages being 
only for IPad was in the context of IOS devices. Pages is not available for 
IPhone or IPod touch. I have my fingers crossed for it becoming available soon.

 notes from your Iphone. THat is pretty cool. I will have to try this one day. 
 I was just thinking about how neat it would be to pair the Iphone with a

The title of the notes show up in the subject line, but the rest of the notes 
are in the body of the message.  For example, if you add a new note and you put 
the word schedule in the top of the document, that will be in the subject 
line.  Whatever you put below the word schedule will be in the body of the 
message.  You can paste that into TextEdit and save it.

There is no text edit in ios4 but yes you can do that from the apple mail 
program. I did not know you an hit enter in a note.

Re: IOS 4.1, blutooth keyboard and the iPod Touch as a notetaker for school?

2010-09-12 Thread Allison Manzino
Hi all,

Thank you for posting this question. I was wondering the same thing. But I 
never thought it was possible. As my BrailleNote is slowly dying, I may need to 
use the Iphone as an option for work. I didn't realize you could E-mail notes 
from your Iphone. THat is pretty cool. I will have to try this one day. I was 
just thinking about how neat it would be to pair the Iphone with a BLuetooth 
keyboard and Braille display. Now that would be amazing. I love watching how 
this new technology is going to develop and open so many new doors that were 
previously closed to us.
 Have a great evening.

Musically,
Allison

Re: IOS 4.1, blutooth keyboard and the iPod Touch as a notetaker for school?

2010-09-12 Thread Esther

Hi Kimberly, Allison, Sarah, Ryan, Joel, and Others,

I use the free Simplenote app for basic note-taking, even though I  
have MobileMe and the ability to sync the Notes app.  The main  
advantage is that your notes update and sync automatically, and not  
only to your computer, but to every iDevice you have, and also through  
web access to your secure Simplenote account.  This gives you access  
to your notes even when you don't even have your computer around --  
for example, if you go to another computer, and open the web browser  
to your Simplenote account.  However, even it I never used the web  
browser access function, and I only had a single iDevice, I would  
still use Simplenote on my iPod Touch in combination with the free  
Notational Velocity app on my Macbook as the preferred method for notes.


I like the convenience of being able to type a few search terms and  
immediately locate all notes with matching entries on either my iPod  
Touch within Simplenote or on my Mac within Notational Velocity.   
Because Simplenote is optimized to keep track of text notes, it does  
it very well.  (I was amused to read a comparison with other apps,  
where one reviewer stated that he preferred this to Evernote, which  
bogged down in performance when faced with his set of over 16,000  
notes that were easily handled in Simplenote.)


This performance is the main reason for using Simplenote (plus  
Notational Velocity on the Mac; there are other desktop programs that  
interface to Simplenote for Windows such as ResophNotes, but I haven't  
heard back about these.)  However, if you use the TextExpander Touch  
app on your iPod Touch, Simplenote will support it.  This lets you  
custom define snippets of frequently used terms or phrases that  
automatically expand when you type the snippet abbreviation.   For  
example, if you have a heading for a class that is Biology 140, Fall  
2010, Tuesdays  Thursdays 9:00 a.m. and assign this as a definition  
to a snippet like b b i o (typed with inserted spaces so you can  
hear the individual letters), every time you type that 4-letter  
snippet combination, you'll hear a whooshing sound as the text expands  
into Biology 140, etc.  TextExpander Touch with its snippet  
definitions is also a great way to speed up the typing of accented  
words in other languages -- even with keyboard support and a Bluetooth  
keyboard.  (If you have the desktop TextExpander software on your Mac,  
you can sync snippet definitions, but just using the iPod Touch app by  
itself in Simplenote and many other Twitter and messaging and writing  
apps that support TextExpander Touch is useful by itself.)


Finally, I'll also mention that I have a premium Simplenote account  
($4.99 for a year at the time I purchased)  that I got mainly to  
support the developer when he made this app free, and also did a great  
job of ensuring VoiceOver accessibility.  I don't use most of these  
features (e.g., I don't, for example, turn any of my notes into the  
basis for an RSS feed.)  They've been adding a lot of new sharing and  
publishing features. I do occasionally use the fact that I can recover  
old notes from nightly backups.  You don't need to buy a premium  
account.  You'll probably never hit the limit on the notes with the  
free account, which is ad-supported.  If you want to remove the ads,  
without buying a premium account, I think it's $4.99.


Again, even without the other features that I'm using (with  
TextExpander support, instant updating through the free, secured web  
account you're given, automatic syncing with all versions of  
Simplenote on all idevices you might have), I'd still recommend this  
app over the alternatives.  YMMV.  Here are the links to Simplenote  
(for the iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad) and Notational Velocity (for the  
Mac).

As always your posts are astounding and I'm quite jealous. smiles. Here is a 
recording that is very quick and almost disastrous of how I deal with notes. It 
works and it a bit clunky but I'll also look at your solution. I start class 
next semester so might need 1 or both of these solutions. The file will start
