Re: Orbit Writer

['Harry Bell' via VIPhone]

The Hable One is brilliant for unlocking and using my iPhone while it is still 
in a zipped pocket under my coat. The typing style is exactly like Braille 
Screen Input which I find more tiring. And nothing beats the Orbit Writer’s 
navigation wheel plus Select button, which replaces swiping and tapping in such 
an uncomplicated way!

RE: Orbit Writer

[Christopher Chaltain]

You don't need to go into VoiceOver settings to connect the Orbit Writer. You 
just need to do that once when you initially pair the Orbit Writer. After that, 
it just connects automatically when you turn on the Orbit Writer. It's also 
pretty simple.

The Orbit Writer basically just has 10 keys on it. Eight for the braille dots, 
one for the space bar and then a multifunction key which gives you arrows, 
menus, select and the like. I'm not sure how the Hable One could give you many 
fewer keys then that. Plus having fewer keys isn't always a good thing. You'd 
have to provide more details on why this is a good thing with the Hable One.

I got the Orbit Writer before I ever knew about the Hable One, so I didn't do a 
side by side comparison. I took a look at the Hable One recently, and I 
definitely liked some things about it, but since I'm not unhappy with my Orbit 
Writer, I couldn't see spending another $275 for the Hable One. Note that one 
advantage of the Orbit Writer is that it only costs $100.

Finally, I can see how someone could prefer one product over the other, but I 
don't get how feelings could be so strong that someone would say they'd never 
touch the other product. I'd never say never when it comes to technology.

RE: Looking for information about an Apple Watch 4th Gen and how to use what's on it.

[Nicola Sanders]

Hi,

In addition to the great information from Jennie )see below), Brent Harbolt of 
the Harbolt Company also did a paid Apple Watch tutorial recently. Here’s the 
link:

Apple Watch OS Tutorial. Great for Any Level of User, Beginner, Intermediate, 
or Advanced Over 4 Hours Long and Packed With Information (harboltcompany.com) 

 

And here’s the link to the Mystic Access tutorial:

Audio Tutorial on the Apple watch | Mystic Access 
 

The Mystic Access tutorial was updated a year or two ago. I purchased an Apple 
Watch just after Christmas and I found both these tutorials very useful.

Best

Nicky

Hi Kevin,

 

I have an AppleWatch and I’ll try to give you some information. As for the 
hourly thin, i don’t think there is a way to get it to tell you what time it is 
on the hour without the sound. There are some tutorials on AppleVis that were 
done back in 2015 that are somewhat valuable today. You can learn about watch 
faces and the like. I know that mystic access also has a paid tutorial that you 
can get that is more current. Last but not least, if you read Braille or want 
to download something from the National Braille press, Anna Dresner wrote a 
book called Watch Without looking or something to that affect. That should get 
you started. There are also a couple watch email groups that you can ask 
questions to. I’ll give you the subscription address to one of them. It is:  
watchosblindusersgroup+subscr...@groups.io 
 

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Jenn

Hi all.

 

I received an Apple Watch 4th Gen as a gift to help me keep track of my pulse.  
I’ve discovered some of how to use this watch, but I’m still unsure of a lot of 
the Watch OS. I’m understanding, for example, the watch has a touch screen like 
an iPhone, and I interact with it the same way I do my phone. The crown is more 
of a mystery to me, and I’d like to learn more of it. In short, where can I 
read about everything Apple Watch and Watch OS, and learn as much as I can 
about it.

 

A final question I have is is there a way to get the audible tone when Siri is 
activated? Right now all I get is the vibrations. I’d like to know if there’s a 
way to get a vocal announcement of the hourly time on my watch? It does produce 
a chime, but I’d like it to tell me what time it is.

 

Finally, I’d like to get a better grasp of watch faces. The one I have shows 
the time and date, UV index which is blank, weather, which is also blank, and 
activity which shows me how I’m doing compared to my movement goal, what 
percentage I’m exercising, and what percentage I’m standing? What do other 
watch faces do?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Have a blessed day and don’t work too hard.

 

Kevin and Jilly

Please let me know about the backspace thing, as I'd think that could get

RE: Orbit Writer

[Christopher Chaltain]

Hmm, I'll have to take a look, but I'd think this could be changed in IOS's 
keyboard or braille settings.

I too love my Orbit Writer. I like the fact that I can pair it to multiple 
devise and then switch between them. The only thing I thought was a challenge, 
and this isn't the fault of the device itself, is all of the keyboard commands 
I tried to learn to replace any on screen gesture I might use. There's just a 
lot of them and there's only so much Apple and Orbit can do to make them 
intuitive.

RE: Looking for information about an Apple Watch 4th Gen and how to use what's on it.

[Christopher Chaltain]

I know manuals aren’t for everyone, but I personally like reading through 
manuals when I get a new device, and I found the user’s guide for the Apple 
Watch was pretty good. I brought it up on my iPhone so I could read it while I 
was playing with my watch.

Hi Kevin,

I have an AppleWatch and I’ll try to give you some information. As for the 
hourly thin, i don’t think there is a way to get it to tell you what time it is 
on the hour without the sound. There are some tutorials on AppleVis that were 
done back in 2015 that are somewhat valuable today. You can learn about watch 
faces and the like. I know that mystic access also has a paid tutorial that you 
can get that is more current. Last but not least, if you read Braille or want 
to download something from the National Braille press, Anna Dresner wrote a 
book called Watch Without looking or something to that affect. That should get 
you started. There are also a couple watch email groups that you can ask 
questions to. I’ll give you the subscription address to one of them. It is:

Hi all.

I received an Apple Watch 4th Gen as a gift to help me keep track of my pulse.  
I’ve discovered some of how to use this watch, but I’m still unsure of a lot of 
the Watch OS. I’m understanding, for example, the watch has a touch screen like 
an iPhone, and I interact with it the same way I do my phone. The crown is more 
of a mystery to me, and I’d like to learn more of it. In short, where can I 
read about everything Apple Watch and Watch OS, and learn as much as I can 
about it.

A final question I have is is there a way to get the audible tone when Siri is 
activated? Right now all I get is the vibrations. I’d like to know if there’s a 
way to get a vocal announcement of the hourly time on my watch? It does produce 
a chime, but I’d like it to tell me what time it is.

Finally, I’d like to get a better grasp of watch faces. The one I have shows 
the time and date, UV index which is blank, weather, which is also blank, and 
activity which shows me how I’m doing compared to my movement goal, what 
percentage I’m exercising, and what percentage I’m standing? What do other 
watch faces do?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have a blessed day and don’t work too hard.

Re: Orbit Reader/iPhone Update

[Duane Steele]

I've only had the Orbit Reader for a week, and "stand alone" mode, which 
requires using the SD card seems somewhat confusing. I'm using it specifically 
with my phone and using the iPhone commands. It's purpose is to be used mostly 
when traveling. I have written some notes using Voice Dream Writer and, after a 
few sentences, when writing in Grade 2 Braille, the extra dots begin appearing 
every few words. As yet, I haven't mastered "stand alone" mode, so I'm not sure 
what I would do there. Besides, doesn't that mode only work for writing files 
to the SD card? I don't know how I'd get them from the SD card to the iPhone 
itself. by the way, thanks Richard for staying with me on this. Shoot me your 
phone number or call me any time if you think we might resolve this issue 
better by Phone. I'll keep my signature in this e-mail so you'll have my number.

RE: Orbit Reader/iPhone Update

[Richard Turner]

If you are creating a note on your Orbit in stand-alone mode, does this problem 
occur?

Next, if you use the buffer edit mode and send what you have written to the 
phone does the problem occur?
You cannot put hard returns in the buffer edit mode, and the VoiceOver feedback 
when sending to the phone is somewhat slow, but this would be another way to 
narrow down where this is happening.

Subject: Orbit Reader/iPhone Update

Hello again, Listers,

I'm continuing to play with my new Orbit Reader 20 plus and my iPhone 8, and 
continuing to grapple with the extra capitalization. My latest discovery is 
that if I write in computer braille grade 1, where I can view the characters 
individally, the problem doesn't exist. It's only when I write in Grade 2 
Braille that the extra capitals appear. I'm adept in both formats, and this is 
my travel Braille display. So, my question is, is there no real answer to my 
dilemma of extra capitalization? Just wondering out loud. I've done everything 
that has been suggested with little result, but I'm open to further 
suggestions, and wondering if others with Orbit Braille displays have 
encountered similar problems.

  

Peace & Blessings,
Pastor Duane L. Steele

Re: Orbit Writer

[Kristen Steele]

Hi, Brandon,

I just purchased one right before Christmas and absolutely love it. It is very 
sleek and fits right in my purse. It pears almost instantly, and there is no 
lag with the keyboard input. I am self-employed and always writing messages on 
the go. Worth the money for sure.

Orbit Writer

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hi,

I've been seeing discussion of the Orbit Reader on the list. This prompted me 
to look up the product as I had never heard of it before.

That's when I discovered the Orbit Writer. I'm wondering if anyone here has 
used it and what your impression of it is? I don't care as much right now about 
having a braille display, but having an easier way to write in braille would be 
useful. Any input or tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brandon

Looking for information about an Apple Watch 4th Gen and how to use what's on it.

[Kevin Minor]

Hi all.

I received an Apple Watch 4th Gen as a gift to help me keep track of my pulse.  
I've discovered some of how to use this watch, but I'm still unsure of a lot of 
the Watch OS. I'm understanding, for example, the watch has a touch screen like 
an iPhone, and I interact with it the same way I do my phone. The crown is more 
of a mystery to me, and I'd like to learn more of it. In short, where can I 
read about everything Apple Watch and Watch OS, and learn as much as I can 
about it.

A final question I have is is there a way to get the audible tone when Siri is 
activated? Right now all I get is the vibrations. I'd like to know if there's a 
way to get a vocal announcement of the hourly time on my watch? It does produce 
a chime, but I'd like it to tell me what time it is.

Finally, I'd like to get a better grasp of watch faces. The one I have shows 
the time and date, UV index which is blank, weather, which is also blank, and 
activity which shows me how I'm doing compared to my movement goal, what 
percentage I'm exercising, and what percentage I'm standing? What do other 
watch faces do?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have a blessed day and don't work too hard.

Kevin and Jilly
