Re: Serious text editing in Ios

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi,

In Voice Dream Writer, you can view your text as an outline, making it easy to 
move to a particular heading. You can also move a heading, with all the text 
under it, to a different place in the document by moving it above or below 
other headings. Word can do this on the computer, but I don't know if that 
feature is available in the iOS version.

Best,
Anna

Re: Serious text editing in Ios

Besides the typographical characteristics of headings, marking something 
as a heading also let's you use it in things like building table of 
contents or outlines. Screen readers can also allow you to jump through 
text by jumping from heading to heading. Heading levels allow you to 
nest headings, such as in an outline or table of contents.

Heading level 1 uses larger font than heading level 2, which is larger than 
heading level 3.
It may also use a different background color when you are talking about heading 
levels in an html file. But, in word processing, it usually refers to the font 
size and I believe it also bolds the text.
It is a simple way to have headings stand out in a document.
In Microsoft Word heading levels can be set on the styles ribbon.

Hi,

I agree with Richard's recommendation. Also, Mystic Access has done a nice 
Voice Dream Writer tutorial, so if you like tutorials, it's worth checking out.

Best,
Anna

Re: Serious text editing in Ios

[Richard Turner]

I can't recommend any app other than Voice Dream Writer.
It takes time to really learn how to get the most out of it, but it is worth 
taking the time.
You can use text Markup.
So, if you want to set a heading level one, enter a number sign before the 
text. A heading level 2, put 2 number signs, all the way up to heading level 6.
You can do an asterisk to bold text, and a hyphen to do a bulleted list.
It has a great spell checker, etc.
Plan to spend time with the user guide. 
The app is $9.99.
You can export as plain text, RTF, and he is experimenting with a word docx 
format that usually works for me.
If you are interested, I can send you the help file. It may also be on the 
VoiceDream web site.

Re: Serious text editing in Ios

[Kimber Gardner]

I like PlainText because it's simple and easy to use. I don't think it
has a spellchecker beyond the one on the device. There'ds also Word
for iOS and Pages. Both are quite usable but, at least for my
purposes, a bit too fancy for the type of writing I do on the phone.

I hope that helps some.

Serious text editing in Ios

[Tom Moore]

Hi guys,
What are my options for a text editor or spell checker that I can use on my 
phone so that I can write things on my phone that are longer than say a 
paragraph with out having to worry if all the text is spelled correctly?
If I use an external keyboard there isn't any reason why people would need to 
know that I am working from my phone.

Thansk for suggestions or tips,

text editing on ios with braille only

[Anouk Radix]

Hi everyone,
An acquaintance of mine has a client who is deaf-blind and is thinking about 
the iphone as a communication tool for this person.
She asked if this would be a viable solution. I know that text editing on ios 
with just braille using pages is not such a fun experience.
I also know that last year an app was introduced and i think even got an 
applevis podcast that COULD do this, gave you the opportunity to use cursor 
routing and navigate through text easily.
I cant for the life of me remember the apps name though.
Can anyone help me with htis,
Thanks in advance,
Greetings, Anouk,

Re: text editing on ios with braille only

[Cheryl Homiak]

Hmm, I don't remember the name of the app and I'm not deaf-blind, but I do 
often turn off speech and use pages. I've found a lot of it involves watching 
where your cursor is and remembering the sequence for changing pages and using 
cursor routing when needed. I am not going to claim it's just plain easy but 
the not a fun experience part did go away for me after a while. I also do use 
plaintext (though not as much as I used to), notes, and AFB's aess-note. 
And there may be more I am not thinking of right now.

Re: text editing on ios with braille only

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi,

I like Nebulous. You can read continuously whether you're in read or edit mode, 
you can easily switch between two documents, and if you use the Search command, 
the found text appears on your braille display. You have to be sure the SEarch 
option is on the toolbar so it's easy to access, but if you do that, this app 
is the easiest I've found for working with long text documents. No app I've 
found has some of the basic features of most notetakers, however, such as the 
ability to move to the next and previous paragraph.

Best,
Anna

Re: text editing on ios with braille only

[Anouk Radix]

Hi, I did not know htat you could use cursor routing with pages? I tried it a 
year ago and then it was not possible and you had to do a lot with the rotor. 
Is this working now then?
The access notes app was indeed the app that i was thinking about and i thought 
it would be a lot easier to use then pages. But things might have changed in a 
year.

Re: text editing on ios with braille only

Thanks for that recommendation! I will be sure to pass it along.

 Hi,
 
 I like Nebulous. You can read continuously whether you're in read or edit 
 mode, you can easily switch between two documents, and if you use the Search 
 command, the found text appears on your braille display. You have to be sure 
 the SEarch option is on the toolbar so it's easy to access, but if you do 
 that, this app is the easiest I've found for working with long text 
 documents. No app I've found has some of the basic features of most 
 notetakers, however, such as the ability to move to the next and previous 
 paragraph.
 
 Best,
 Anna

Re: text editing on ios with braille only

[Richard Turner]

If they have a HIMS device, they could try the HIMS Chat app, but I'm not sure 
that has been updated.
If they have a humanware Apex, there is a Deaf-blind communicator app, but I 
think it costs close to $100.
Are they wanting to be able to converse with a hearing person through the app?
That is what HIMS chat and the communicator apps are suppose to make easier.
Otherwise, using something like AccessNote would work especially if they also 
had a bluetooth keyboard connected, then the other person could type in the 
same document.
HTH,
Richard

I do not think we have HIMS here in the Netherlands.
I know the humanware notetakers are being sold but i think they will go the

 Hello,



 As a follow-up to the recent thread on RTF editors that synchronize with
 Dropbox, do any of the plain text apps allow for at least some minimal
 formatting such as bold, underline, tab positions, etc.?



 Also, what is the text selection process with a bluetooth keyboard? I 
 have
 an Apple keyboard, and I'd like to be able to select blocks of text. Am I
 correct that this works with a combination of arrow keys and the Command
 key?



 Thanks for any information.

Re: Text Editing on iOS

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi, I didn't think you could have bold, italic, ETC when using plain 
text. After all, isn't it plain? maybe you are thinking rich text which 
would have that. Some apps which claim to be plain text apps support 
this, but that's not plain text to me. I think the only thing you can 
change when using true plain text is the font size and type, but that 
only affects how the letters look and the size of them, not other font 
things like bold, italic, ETC.

have an Apple keyboard, and I’d like to be able to select blocks of
text. Am I correct that this works with a combination of arrow keys and
the Command key?

Thanks for any information.

Re: Text Editing on iOS

[Ioana Gandrabur]

You can do bold and italics and notes. Would that be an option?

Best,

 Hi, I didn't think you could have bold, italic, ETC when using plain text. 
 After all, isn't it plain? maybe you are thinking rich text which would have 
 that. Some apps which claim to be plain text apps support this, but that's 
 not plain text to me. I think the only thing you can change when using true 
 plain text is the font size and type, but that only affects how the letters 
 look and the size of them, not other font things like bold, italic, ETC.

Hi Rob,

I guess it is kind of contradicting to want plain text and then request
bold, etc. LOL I'm about to start taking an hour and a half commute each way
to work, and I'd like to find a productive means of spending my three hours
on the road. Editing documents is one way, and while I understand there is
currently no means of editing Doc or DOCX files, I'd like to see about the
next best alternative. Esther's message earlier about an RTF editor was
promising, but I'd prefer not have to get an iPad just to accomplish some
productive document editing. At minimum, I'd like an efficient means of
manipulating blocks of text from within the same file or between two files.

Thanks all for any additional thoughts.

I have one of the new RII mini BT and been fiddling for ages and can't get

Hello,

If you  use notes with Gmail for example it syncs them to the computer. iCloud 
also but you need an email account with iCloud. I am assuming that many mail 
accounts support note syncing. This might be an option for you maybe. Take care,

Text Editing on iOS

[Joe]

Hello,

 

As a follow-up to the recent thread on RTF editors that synchronize with
Dropbox, do any of the plain text apps allow for at least some minimal
formatting such as bold, underline, tab positions, etc.? 

 

Also, what is the text selection process with a bluetooth keyboard? I have
an Apple keyboard, and I'd like to be able to select blocks of text. Am I
correct that this works with a combination of arrow keys and the Command
key?

 

Thanks for any information.

 

Joe

You want a minimal word processor;  those markup tokens only complicate and 
to me, corrupt the notion of Plain Text.

RE: Text Editing on iOS

[Joe]

Hi Rob,

I guess it is kind of contradicting to want plain text and then request
bold, etc. LOL I'm about to start taking an hour and a half commute each way
to work, and I'd like to find a productive means of spending my three hours
on the road. Editing documents is one way, and while I understand there is
currently no means of editing Doc or DOCX files, I'd like to see about the
next best alternative. Esther's message earlier about an RTF editor was
promising, but I'd prefer not have to get an iPad just to accomplish some
productive document editing. At minimum, I'd like an efficient means of
manipulating blocks of text from within the same file or between two files.

Thanks all for any additional thoughts.

Joe

How about using notes? You can do bold italic there and selecting and moving 
text works fine with bt keyboard. 
Best, 

Ioana
