RE: An App to read medication bottles?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I think the point is not only to determine what the medication is. It sounds 
like the RFID chips used also contain maybe information about the medication, 
how often to use it etc.

Seeing AI appears to try to recognize medication, but it will only get up to 
the really fast beeps and no farther no matter what I do. So I'm not sure if 
it's Seeing AI or my lack of skill with a camera.

RE: Help Needed with Screen Recording not Capturing Audio

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Godwin,

I finally grabbed my bluetooth speaker which also has a 3.5mm input jack so it 
can be used as a bluetooth speaker or as a wired speaker. When I used it 
wirelessly via bluetooth Voiceover switched to the phone’s earpiece as soon as 
I turned on screen recording. However, when I used a 3.5mm male-to-male cable 
to connect my iPhone’s headphone jack to the speaker’s input jack screen 
recording worked fine, Voiceover continued to play through the external speaker 
after I started screen recording.

I did try various other options such as turning off audio ducking, turning off 
automatic switching to speaker for phone calls in Voiceover Settings > Audio 
and also in Accessibility Settings > Audio Routing I switched the setting from 
automatic to speaker, but none of these things helped. Each time when I tried 
screen recording Voiceover switched to the earpiece and the only work-around 
currently as far as I am concerned is to connect an external speaker using a 
wired connection.

I should say also that I have an iPhone 6S Plus and I am using the iOS 11.3 
public beta 5 so while many may still be on 11.2.6 it does not appear that this 
bug is fixed in 11.3 at least not so far. My guess is there might be one more 
beta 6 next Monday or Tuesday, March 19 or 20 and that the iOS 11.3 public 
release will follow the week after, between Monday, March 26 and Wednesday, 
March 28. Of course it is quite possible that public beta 5 was the last beta 
and that iOS 11.3 will be released to the public next week.

I will again write to Apple Accessibility and tell them that in my opinion this 
is a bug and hopefully others will do so as well.


Best regards,
Sieghard

It is a bug, screen recording used to capture audio just fine, but at this 
point it does not work any more since Voiceover switches to the earpiece. If 
you turn it up all the way you can just barely hear it on the recording.
You could try to plug in an external speaker, haven’t tried this, but it may 
work.

Anna,

Thanks so much for the quick reply. The funny thing is that when I follow your 
instructions and turn the microphone on,Voiceover goes quiet and I have to lock 
my iPhone 7 running iOS 11.2.6 to get it back. I seem to recall reading about 
an issue with the screen recorder and maybe I've just stepped into it. I really 
want to be able to use this feature to record video with the Voiceover audio 
but I'm either still leaving off a step or something is not working right.

Thanks again.

Hi alan,

It sounds like the mic was off during the recording. To turn it on, press hard 
on the Screen Recording button if you have 3D Touch, or double-tap and hold it, 
flick to Open Controls, and double-tap. You'll be able to turn the mic on on 
the screen that opens. Once it's on, it should be on for all future recordings 
unless you turn it off.

Best,
Anna

Hello List,

I apologize if this has already been addressed but it wasn't pertinent to me 
then if it has.

I'm reporting an issue with one of my apps and their support person has asked 
that I capture a screen recording that plays the video and audio of what I'm 
experiencing. I added the screen recorder control to control center as 
explained in the Apple Support article and used it to record a one plus minute 
session with the app in question. However, when I retrieved and played the 
video from the Photos app, no audio was captured. Is there a bug causing this 
issue or is there some step I omitted that is needed to also capture the audio?

I would very much appreciate any assistance so I can submit a recording which 
also contains audio.

The IOS Tips App

Hello.
I have found the beginning of many great articles in the Tips app.
However, they always say, 1 of 5, or 1 of 10, but there seems to be no
way to advanced to the next page.
Double tap, double tap and hold, nothing works, and there seems to be
no way to adjust that slider.
Anyone notice this behavior in IOS 11.2.5?
Thanks a lot.

Hi



In the March edition of APH newsletter the Orbit Reader 20 should be
available for purchase again sometime this summer. Unfortunately APH is
the only place to purchase the Orbit Reader 20.



There is another low cost braille display that
you can research for information; the Braille
Me. I think the price for the Braille me is $450.

Itâ?Ts my understanding now that APH isnâ?Tt shipping orbits until the
summer.

  There is another low cost braille display that you can research for

Hi Carla,

Where did you order your orbit reader?  I have been checking the 
American Printing House for the last three weeks, and I continuously find a 
message on the website that says: currently out of stock.  Is there any 
other distributer?

If you find the routing buttons helpful I would go ahead and order the 
Braille Me.  I don't know if they are similar in price.  I just ordered the 
Orbit and it meets my needs very well.  There is a lot I have to learn about 
it but it works very well with the iDevices.

Hello folks,

I wonder if any of you have acquired and used the orbit braille reader 
or braille me and used them with iOS devices.

I read the description of both on their respective websites, but very 
interesting to hear the views of people who have actually  have hand on 
experience with these devices.  I know that the orbit reader is already out 
of stock.  I am not sure why so quickly!  I also know that the major 
differences are first the orbit uses the eight braille dots while the 
braille me uses the six dots.  The second major difference is that Braille 
me has routing buttons while the orbit does not.  In other descriptions they 
sound similar.

Any input on this topic will be extremely appreciated.  I am not sure if 
I should wait for the orbit to be back in stock, or go ahead and order the 
braille me.



Cheers,

Cris

RE: Braille displays: braille me or orbit braille reader?

[Cris Ali]

Ah, that is a good point. But I thought that it is also easy to find the cursor 
with a six braille dots.  If I remember from my previous experience with six 
braille dots displays, the cursor is usually  on the cell where all the six 
dots are raised.  I thought the most important advantages will be in 
identifying the capitalized letters and the underlined text.  This will be very 
important for people who do professional editing.

My question is, why haven't they found a distributor in the U.S?  I have to

Heck, I'd even consider doing it as there seems to be a lot of interest in

Re: forst phone has voice over on thank you and second phone is sluggis, if you can help thanks

[Richard Turner]

Are you adjusting the volume or speech rate?
90 percent should be rather fast if you are actually adjusting speech rate.
Are you doing this with the rotor?
Otherwise, go into settings, general, accessibility, VoiceOver, and find the 
speech rate picker item. Touch that, then flick up or down with one finger to 
adjust the rate.
If that does not work, it may be time to call Apple Accessibility.
877-204-3930 if you are in the United States, that is the number.

Are you talking about  your iPhone SE or the ipad? If your iPhone has cellular 
service and access to data it SIRI should work.  If it’s the iPad and it is an 
WiFi only iPad and if it is not yet connected to your WiFi then of course what 
you say would make sense.
Also, keep in mind that if Voiceover was on the volume may simply have gone 
down to 0 which means Voiceover is on, but you can’t hear  it.
Try to plug in a wired headset and see if Voiceover is talking. If it is then 
unlock the device with the headset connected, then unplug the headset and 
repeatedly press the volume up button and the external speaker volume should 
come back.

Today was great with getting things set up on our iphone se phones  and an ipad 
mini from t-mobile. One of the guys may have forgotten to put the setting in 
accessibility on that shortcut so voice over could go on or off with the 3 
taps. Our neighbor is coming over to help us so if someone could tell me  what 
to tell him. He might be able to figure it out. Before I left it was still 
talk, but I found that siri was on but not voice over. 7:t3 my time. Thanks if 
anyone can help.

RE: Braille displays: braille me or orbit braille reader?

[Cris Ali]

I like to hear from those who use braille displays.  What are the advantages of 
having eight dots braille cells verses having six dots braille cells?  Does it 
make a huge difference in practical terms?
Regards,
Cris

Hi

In the March edition of APH newsletter the Orbit Reader 20 should be available 
for purchase again sometime this summer. Unfortunately APH is the only place to 
purchase the Orbit Reader 20.

There is another low cost braille display that you can research for 
information; the Braille Me. I think the price for the Braille me is $450.

Donna

It’s my understanding now that APH isn’t shipping orbits until the summer.

Hi Carla,
Where did you order your orbit reader?  I have been checking the American 
Printing House for the last three weeks, and I continuously find a message on 
the website that says: currently out of stock.  Is there any other distributer?

If you find the routing buttons helpful I would go ahead and order the Braille 
Me.  I don't know if they are similar in price.  I just ordered the Orbit and 
it meets my needs very well.  There is a lot I have to learn about it but it 
works very well with the iDevices.

Subject: Braille displays: braille me or orbit braille reader?

Hello folks,
I wonder if any of you have acquired and used the orbit braille reader or 
braille me and used them with iOS devices.
I read the description of both on their respective websites, but very 
interesting to hear the views of people who have actually  have hand on 
experience with these devices.  I know that the orbit reader is already out of 
stock.  I am not sure why so quickly!  I also know that the major differences 
are first the orbit uses the eight braille dots while the braille me uses the 
six dots.  The second major difference is that Braille me has routing buttons 
while the orbit does not.  In other descriptions they sound similar.
Any input on this topic will be extremely appreciated.  I am not sure if I 
should wait for the orbit to be back in stock, or go ahead and order the 
braille me.

Cheers,
Cris

  Are you talking about  your iPhone SE or the ipad? If your iPhone has 
cellular service and access to data it SIRI should work.  If it’s the iPad and 
it is an WiFi only iPad and if it is not yet connected to your WiFi then of 
course what you say would make sense.

  Also, keep in mind that if Voiceover was on the volume may simply have gone 
down to 0 which means Voiceover is on, but you can’t hear  it.

  Try to plug in a wired headset and see if Voiceover is talking. If it is then 
unlock the device with the headset connected, then unplug the headset and 
repeatedly press the volume up button and the external speaker volume should 
come back.

  No, it is not Assistive touch, that is completely different. 

  Under Accessibility, you want to go down to Accessibility shortcut, open that

  Then, a triple click of the home button will toggle VoiceOver on and off.

In the March edition of APH newsletter the Orbit

sometime this summer. Unfortunately APH is the

There is another low cost braille display that

Hello folks,

I wonder if any of you have acquired and used 
the orbit braille reader or braille me and used them with iOS devices.


I read the description of both on their 
respective websites, but very interesting to 
hear the views of people who have actually  have 
hand on experience with these devices.  I know 
that the orbit reader is already out of 
stock.  I am not sure why so quickly!  I also 
know that the major differences are first the 
orbit uses the eight braille dots while the 
braille me uses the six dots.  The second major 
difference is that Braille me has routing 
buttons while the orbit does not.  In other descriptions they sound similar.


Any input on this topic will be extremely 
appreciated.  I am not sure if I should wait for 
the orbit to be back in stock, or go ahead and order the braille me.




Cheers,

Cris

I would be happy to do that, and thank you for responding to me, but siri tells 
me that I don't seem to be connected to the internet. I got instructions from 
someone that said when I can to go into settings, to general, to accessibility 
and then to swipe down to assisted touch which we found on the other phone, so 
I'm assuming that would need to be turned on. Thanks for the help.

Re: Braille displays: braille me or orbit braille reader?

[Andy Baracco]

one big difference between the two is that the Orbit has 8 dot Braille and the 
Braille me only has 6 dots.

  Hi

   

  In the March edition of APH newsletter the Orbit Reader 20 should be 
available for purchase again sometime this summer. Unfortunately APH is the 
only place to purchase the Orbit Reader 20. 

   

  There is another low cost braille display that you can research for 
information; the Braille Me. I think the price for the Braille me is $450. 

   

  Donna

   

It’s my understanding now that APH isn’t shipping orbits until the summer.

Hi Carla,

Where did you order your orbit reader?  I have been checking the American

the website that says: currently out of stock.  Is there any other distributer?

If you find the routing buttons helpful I would go ahead and order the 
Braille Me.  I don't know if they are similar in price.  I just ordered the 
Orbit and it meets my needs very well.  There is a lot I have to learn about it

Re: Braille displays: braille me or orbit braille reader?

[Ann Byrne]

Is BrailleMe available for purchase?  If so, where from?
At 07:40 PM 3/15/2018, you wrote:

Hi

There is another low cost braille display that 
you can research for information; the Braille 
Me. I think the price for the Braille me is $450.

It’s my understanding now that APH isn’t 
shipping orbits until the summer.

Hi Carla,
Where did you order your orbit reader?  I have 
been checking the American Printing House for 
the last three weeks, and I continuously find a 
message on the website that says: currently out 
of stock.  Is there any other distributer?

If you find the routing buttons helpful I would 
go ahead and order the Braille Me.  I don't 
know if they are similar in price.  I just 
ordered the Orbit and it meets my needs very 
well.  There is a lot I have to learn about it

Hello folks,
I wonder if any of you have acquired and used 
the orbit braille reader or braille me and used them with iOS devices.
I read the description of both on their 
respective websites, but very interesting to 
hear the views of people who have 
actually  have hand on experience with these 
devices.  I know that the orbit reader is 
already out of stock.  I am not sure why so 
quickly!  I also know that the major 
differences are first the orbit uses the eight 
braille dots while the braille me uses the six 
dots.  The second major difference is that 
Braille me has routing buttons while the orbit 
does not.  In other descriptions they sound similar.
Any input on this topic will be extremely 
appreciated.  I am not sure if I should wait 
for the orbit to be back in stock, or go ahead and order the braille me.


Cheers,
Cris

RE: Braille displays: braille me or orbit braille reader?

[Cris Ali]

That is my understanding too.  That is why I asked my question, hoping to find 
people on this list who have hand on experience with these displays to help me 
decide if it is worth waiting for the Orbit Reader, or going with the Braille 
me. Reading the descriptions is very different from actually seeing the real 
products.

Re: An App to read medication bottles?

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hi Amanda, did I see somewhere that Vision-America will come out with an 
App so that it will give information on a prescription from CVS?  I could use 
such an App but, I don’t want to have my Eye drops come in the mail.  Andy and 
Shubert
p.s. The reason I don’t want mail order is simply that my mail is terrible.  
Most things go to another address.

Some general information about bar-codes on medications and such

95% of the time when there is a bar-code present on a prescription label, the 
bar-code is only for internal use. It will be the RX number, account number or 
something along those lines. It will not be a manufacture bar-code that can be 
associated with the medication it self. 

Product bar-codes are associated with the product it self allowing companies to 
create databases with this information. With Seeing IA their database only 
contains product names, while En-Vision America's i.d. mate bar code scanner 
database contains the name and information about the product. In an attempt to 
not turn this into a sales pitch you can visit our website for more 
information. 

There are 2 common styles of bar-codes. 1st is a QR Code or also called 2D 
bar-code. This style actually contains data within the code, like a web 
address, or actual information. 2nd is a Universal Product Code or UPC. This 
style contains a number only and for it to be useful you need to assign 
information to that number in a database. 

UPC is what is found on all products, the key to it being useful to a consumer 
is for a database to be available to them. 

Hope I didn't bore you!

  Hello everyone, 

  I was wondering, is there an App out there that can easily read

  If so, how easy is it to work, if you are not very good at all with

  Thank you,

It’s my understanding now that APH isn’t shipping orbits until the summer.

Where did you order your orbit reader?  I have been checking the American

the website that says: currently out of stock.  Is there any other distributer?

If you find the routing buttons helpful I would go ahead and order the Braille

it meets my needs very well.  There is a lot I have to learn about it but it

Hello folks,

I wonder if any of you have acquired and used the orbit braille reader or 
braille me and used them with iOS devices.

I read the description of both on their respective websites, but very 
interesting to hear the views of people who have actually  have hand on 
experience with these devices.  I know that the orbit reader is already out of 
stock.  I am not sure why so quickly!  I also know that the major differences 
are first the orbit uses the eight braille dots while the braille me uses the 
six dots.  The second major difference is that Braille me has routing buttons 
while the orbit does not.  In other descriptions they sound similar.

Any input on this topic will be extremely appreciated.  I am not sure if I 
should wait for the orbit to be back in stock, or go ahead and order the 
braille me.

 

Cheers,

Cris

Re: An App to read medication bottles?

[Kelly Pierce]

The CVS mail order pharmacy will not dispense controlled substances.
This includes sleeping medicines. Most blind people I know have a
sleeping problem and the medications that enable a blind person to
have a normal night’s sleep cannot have an accessible label from the
CVS mail order pharmacy.

Re: An App to read medication bottles?

[Richard Turner]

I know about ScriptTalk being free, I was referencing Amanda's comment about 
the ID Mate bar code device.
I find Seeing AI works great for me.
If my pharmacy ever gets on board with ScriptTalk, I will go that route.
I think I'll stop contributing to this thread, since I have nothing more to 
offer.

Some general information about bar-codes on medications and such

95% of the time when there is a bar-code present on a prescription label, the 
bar-code is only for internal use. It will be the RX number, account number or 
something along those lines. It will not be a manufacture bar-code that can be 
associated with the medication it self.

Product bar-codes are associated with the product it self allowing companies to 
create databases with this information. With Seeing IA their database only 
contains product names, while En-Vision America's i.d. mate bar code scanner 
database contains the name and information about the product. In an attempt to 
not turn this into a sales pitch you can visit our website for more information.

There are 2 common styles of bar-codes. 1st is a QR Code or also called 2D 
bar-code. This style actually contains data within the code, like a web 
address, or actual information. 2nd is a Universal Product Code or UPC. This 
style contains a number only and for it to be useful you need to assign 
information to that number in a database.

UPC is what is found on all products, the key to it being useful to a consumer 
is for a database to be available to them.

Hope I didn't bore you!

Looking for speedometer app

[Donna Neff]

Sent from my iPhone hi everyone, I am looking for help, hoping there might be 
an app that’s available, and I will be most appreciative of any help.

Regrettably, an Apple Watch is not financially feasible for me right now but I 
still want to find someway to determine what my speed and heart rate are, while 
I am walking or jogging.

Is there a speedometer app perhaps? Anyone know of a device that could do this 
that isn’t too expensive?

Any thoughts, or ideas, are welcome and thank you in advance.

Donna

RE: Using a keyboard with IOS

[Paul Sandoval]

Joe,

I have this document, hopefully it is helpful. I believe most if not all of 
these keystrokes still work.


Use VoiceOver keyboard commands to navigate the screen, select items, read 
screen contents, adjust the rotor, and perform other VoiceOver actions. For
the commands, you can use the Control-Option key combination or the Caps Lock 
key, abbreviated in the list that follows as “VO.” (To choose a modifier
key, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Modifier Keys.)

You can use VoiceOver Help to learn the keyboard layout and the actions 
associated with various key combinations. VoiceOver Help speaks keys and 
keyboard
commands as you type them, without performing the associated action.

VoiceOver keyboard commands

VO = Control-Option
list of 25 items
• Turn on VoiceOver Help: VO–K

• Return to the previous screen: Escape

• Switch apps: Command–Tab or Command–Shift–Tab
list end
Quick Nav

Turn on Quick Nav to control VoiceOver using the arrow keys.
list of 7 items
• Turn Quick Nav on or off: Left Arrow–Right Arrow

• Select the next or previous item: Right Arrow or Left Arrow

• Select the next or previous item specified by the rotor: Up Arrow or Down 
Arrow

list end
You can also use the number keys on an Apple Wireless Keyboard to dial a phone 
number in Phone or enter numbers in Calculator.

Single-key Quick Nav for web browsing

When you view a webpage with Quick Nav on, you can use the following keys on 
the keyboard to navigate the page quickly. Typing the key moves to the next
item of the indicated type. To move to the previous item, hold the Shift key as 
you type the letter.

RE: Bluetooth keyboard for iPhone ios10 and above

You can pare several keyboards to your phone.  I have two Logitech 810s pared 
to my phone, one by my bed, and one near my computer that travels with me and 
the computer when they go mobile.  Works great, and easy to work.

Kimber, This keyboard sounds great in the way that it could be pared up to 3 
devices. It does sound very sturdy. most of the time we're at home, so the fact 
that it's a bit heavy might be okay and we could use it at home. Would we need 
sighted assistance to pare it up? Well we might need help at first with it 
anyway since we're not old experts at this yet, but I'm just wondering if it''s 
easy enough to do, or if we would need help with paring it up. This has me 
thinking too, on one device could you pare it up with 2 different bluetooth 
keyboards, as one you would use at home and one that's lighter that you could 
take one you go out? Thank you.

The logitech K780 is a very good keyboard. It has the numeric pad and will pair 
with three devices. It's rather heavy and is really not designed to be 
portable—if that's a consideration for you. But it's a good keyboard.

Richard, the script talk machine for reading prescriptions is on free loan at 
least for those of us in the US. As for the ID Mate product, it does the job we 
wish it to do easily and without much effort so we paid the price. We gave up 
complaining about the price of blindness technology years ago, smile. If it 
says “blindness” it’s going to be expensive and we know it. EnVision does have 
a payment plan which will break the $1300 into 12 payments.

bar-code is only for internal use. It will be the RX number, account number or 
something along those lines. It will not be a manufacture bar-code that can be 
associated with the medication it self. 

Product bar-codes are associated with the product it self allowing companies to 
create databases with this information. With Seeing IA their database only 
contains product names, while En-Vision America's i.d. mate bar code scanner 
database contains the name and information about the product. In an attempt to 
not turn this into a sales pitch you can visit our website for more 
information. 

There are 2 common styles of bar-codes. 1st is a QR Code or also called 2D 
bar-code. This style actually contains data within the code, like a web 
address, or actual information. 2nd is a Universal Product Code or UPC. This 
style contains a number only and for it to be useful you need to assign 
information to that number in a database. 

UPC is what is found on all products, the key to it being useful to a consumer 
is for a database to be available to them. 

Hope I didn't bore you!

Re: An App to read medication bottles?

[Richard Turner]

Amanda, I have great respect for the work Envision America has done, but the 
price for your devices is out of most people's reach unless their State VR 
agency will purchase it for them.
I have found that when comparing results on standard products, like TV dinners, 
canned goods, boxes, etc, Seeing AI has had the same information as the ID Mate 
Quest.

Re: Book share an voice dream reader

[Deidre Muccio]

Richard and others, 
I have been going to bookshare on the web using my phone and that probably is 
where the problem with the cheesy audio voice came through. I've since started  
opening up voice dream reader and going to bookshare that way. Either way I 
still get the cheesy voice. It does indicate that I have downloaded the book in 
Daisy format which is in fact what I chose. I chose audio at one point and I 
chose Daisy just to compare it in great hopes that one would give me the voice 
I wanted but no such luck. I went to manage voices yesterday and I have 
Samantha selected. Samantha on my phone is selected as the default.  I never 
found an option to set the voice I preferred to the iOS voice and the voice 
currently selected in book share is Samantha. They are as different as Night 
and  day however! It's enough to make me not read the books until I get this 
sorted out.

Re: bluetooth keyboard for iphone ios10 and above

[Paul Sandoval]

Arlene,

I think you want the Logitech K811. This keyboard is also switchable between 3 
devices, has the Apple layout, and the battery is amazing. I’ve had one for a 
couple of years, and my wife and I loved it so much we had to get a second one. 
This keyboard is not foldable, and does not have the numpad. I hope this helps.

RE: Book share an voice dream reader

[ndagostino3]

Hi:

I am not sure inVdr when you go to settings you can set vdr to use the voices 
that came with your apple device.

When you download the books there is a combo box for the format you want to use.

When you want to use another format you can change it in that combo box.

I hope that helped a little bit.

Have a good day.

I hope this is not a completely idiotic question and something I should long to 
go have understood.  
when I want to download and read bookshare books I see using my iPhone that 
there is a picker item list with different formats for downloading the book. 
one is BRF one is audio one is Daisy with text and one is Daisy with images. It 
says there are eight format choices but that does not appear to be true. The 
question is if I do select audio versus Daisy with text are the fourmats being 
downloaded all the same? Meaning does voice dream reader download everything to 
a particular format? 
I ask because I don't like the cheesy voice for reading the books that I'm 
given through voice dream.  I would much prefer to listen

 to the books with the regular iOS voice that everything on my phone is spoken 
through. Is there a way to do that? There does not appear to be a way to do 
that. There  is the option to read now in the book opens in Safari and then 
there's something about a particular program that's not accessible with speech 
and then the book is there but there's no way to move through it even though 
there's a next and a previous and stop button at the top of the page. I think 
you can swipe line by line but that there's not enough control to make it 
worthwhile. Is there an easy way to do what I'm trying to do?

Re: bluetooth keyboard for iphone ios10 and above

[Richard Turner]

Hi Arlene,
If you do not have a computer you wish to use the keyboard with, the number pad 
isn't going to do much for you other than make the keyboard larger and heavier.
The Logictec k480 also can pair with three devices, but does not have the 
number pad. I thin think I paid about $25 for it through Amazon last year.
It is very sturdy and is not that hard to pair.
I have not personally had a folding keyboard for many years so I can't say if 
any of those are sturdy.
There is a nice carrying case you can buy for the k480 for about $20 that is 
designed like a small brief case.
As for pairing different keyboards to the same iPhone, yes, you can pair as 
many as you want.
HTH,
Richard

The logitech K780 is a very good keyboard. It has the numeric pad and will pair 
with three devices. It's rather heavy and is really not designed to be 
portable—if that's a consideration for you. But it's a good keyboard.

I'm wondering if you take the label off the bottle, whether it be a soup 
label or a medication label off the bottle would the seeing ai read it any 
better? For a medication I don't think any of us wouldn't want to take the

  I believe that CVS Caremark is available everywhere. It depends on whether 
your health insurance covers it. They are nationwide distributor of medications.

That is good to know, but that pharmacy isn't available everywhere. 

I just tried the three medication bar code apps in the app store, but none 
of them seemed to work, even for my sighted wife.

So, I wrote to Seeing AI to ask if they could add a medication database to 
their product channel. I do not know if bar codes are manufacturer specific or 
universal based on the medication.

I'll let folks know what response I get.

 Good evening,

 I would like keys of a good size for fairly fat fingers, reasonable

 I hope I have described these requirements accurately.


 Logitech, Icon-x are but two manufacturers that I am aware of,
 doubtless
 there are many more including apple themselves.

 Your experiences welcome.

The logitech K780 is a very good keyboard. It has the numeric pad and will pair 
with three devices. It's rather heavy and is really not designed to be 
portable—if that's a consideration for you. But it's a good keyboard.

Re: BARD app - would this feature be helpful to others?

[Bill Gallik]

I certainly think a “Favorites List” or maybe a “Currently Open” list would be 
a useful option.  I myself tend to have several books “open” at any given time 
- usually no more than three - and think this would be helpful.

Hi,
 
I have quite a list of books in my BARD audio books list.  At any time, I have 
a couple that I’m toggling between – one that I’m reading with my kids and one 
that is my personal choice, and maybe a cookbook.  I’m really wishing there was 
some sort of Favorites list of such that would allow for easier toggling 
between current books.  Is this something others would like to see? I’d like to 
submit a recommendation, but wondered if others think this would be useful.
