By using the normal navigation to get to the folder and using VO+spacebar to 
open the folder and the same keystroke to activate the app you want.
You can also press the up and down arrows together to activate an item.

I currently have the above paired to both my iPad Mini 2 and iPod Touch 6yh 
Generation. For clarity's sake, I can only use the keyboard with one of these 
devices at a time.

While I like the keyboard, I don't think all VO commands work, especially those requiring use of the "FN" or 
"Function" key. When I press it with another key, it behaves as if the "FN" or "Function" 
key has not been pressed in the first place. Is this a known problem with this keyboard. Or, god forbid, have I got a 
faulty one without realising? All other keyboard commands, both VO and iOS, seem to work just fine. In fact, I am using 
this to compose this message. I only got this keyboard since it can be cheaper than even Apple's own and other third 
party keyboards currently available.

Any responses greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

RE: Amazon Basics bluetooth keyboard

[Richard Turner]

Yes, there are keyboards like that, but most do not have that feature.

I just turned on my Amazon Basics and put the focus in the status bar with VO+m 
then hit option key+down arrow and the control center opened.
Then, I opened the notification center with option up arrow.
But, after toggling quick nav off and then back on again, that key combination 
no longer works.

I'm not finding my list of keystrokes that are supposed to include the FN key.  
Are there key combos using FN that you could send?

Richard

Re: Amazon Basics bluetooth keyboard

Ah yes, but there are keyboards out there that has a "switch" function or 
functions enabling you to use the keyboard with multiple devices at any  time. 
The Logitech K series offers this. Anyway, back on topic, I'm trying to 
activate things like Control Centre and Notification Centre via the keyboard,

Re: Amazon Basics bluetooth keyboard

Most keyboards can only be used with one device at a time.
I have not used mine for a while, which commands with the FN key are you not 
finding successful?
It seems I was able to use one, but it has been a while.

Amazon Basics bluetooth keyboard

[christopher hallsworth]

Morning all

I currently have the above paired to both my iPad Mini 2 and iPod Touch 6yh 
Generation. For clarity's sake, I can only use the keyboard with one of these 
devices at a time.

While I like the keyboard, I don't think all VO commands work, especially those 
requiring use of the "FN" or "Function" key. When I press it with another key, 
it behaves as if the "FN" or "Function" key has not been pressed in the first 
place. Is this a known problem with this keyboard. Or, god forbid, have I got a 
faulty one without realising? All other keyboard commands, both VO and iOS, 
seem to work just fine. In fact, I am using this to compose this message. I 
only got this keyboard since it can be cheaper than even Apple's own and other 
third party keyboards currently available.

Any responses greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Re: can't type with amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

[Alan Paganelli]

I didn't try that but you can take it to the bank that I certainly will.  I 
don't use the Amazon Basics Bluetooth wireless Keyboard often.  I bought it 
before I got my iPad Air.  When I bought the iPad Air, I bought one of those 
keyboard cases too.  The advantage is, I don't have to schlep 2 keyboards 
around.  On the other hand, I still expect the Amazon keyboard to work as it 
should. Thanks again for your help!

I gave my Amazon basics keyboard a short spin. I did get the crazy double

Re: can't type with amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

[Alan Paganelli]

I had to pull my Amazon Basics Bluetooth wireless keyboard and see for myself 
what it does.  I typed in Hello Alan.  What I got was HHeelloo AAllaann.  Cute 
maby as a special effect the sighted might find cute but voice over doesn't 
think it's funny at all.  The strange thing is, I'm connected to my keyboard 
via bluetooth on my iPad and it works fine.  I think too my batteries in the 
Amazon keyboard are shot.  It worked double typing for about a minute or so.  
There was a second set of triple A batteries in the case but those were totally 
dead and I haven't got any more triple A batteries.  Never the less, I was able 
to repreduce the doubling of charactors.  So another bug found me thinkith.

Re: Some questions about the amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

[Teresa Cochran]

If VO-K doesn't work for whatever reason, you can always use 
four-finger-double-tap to turn on help mode, and use it again to toggle it off. 
For what it's worth, the Amazon basics keyboard has held up the longest of all 
my keyboards, and it uses triple-A batteries, which seem to last forever.

Re: Some questions about the amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

[Alan Paganelli]

I would strongly disagree with your asessment.  I found my Amazon Basics 
bluetooth wireless keyboard well made and a pleasure to use.  I do admit though 
that the only thing I use mine for is when I'm out and about and need a 
keyboard.  Alternitive is to get yourself a keyboard case.  They have them for 
iPhone and iPad.  The phone or iPad sits in a holder like the screen on a 
laptop with the typing keys where you would expect them to be.  An iPhone pops 
out quickly if you need to answer your phone but an ear peace such as the 
Legend would let you even get away from that as well.

Re: Some questions about the amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

[Alan Paganelli]

Search Amazon.com for the keyboard case  If I remember right, it was only 20 
dollars USD.  It does a very good job of keeping the keyboard dust free and, 
you can drop a couple triple (A) batteries in the case for just in case.  

The way I use mine is not to control my iPhone but rather to enter in text such 
as with email.

Re: Some questions about the amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

[Tara Prakash]

may be IOS version does make a difference. I think I was using version
5 when I tried and I didn't try since then. Interesting, in deed. So,
VO key with K should work for the original lister for key describer.

Re: Some questions about the amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

[David Justice]

That's interesting.  I'm using an Amazon Basics keyboard to type this message.  
VO plus K works just fine for me.  There are four keys to the left of the Space 
bar.  Vo, the Control plus Option keys, are the second and third.  I'm 
wondering if either we don't have the same Amazon Basics keyboard, or if the OS 
makes a difference -- I'm using iOS 7.X.  

The Amazon keyboard is not my everyday Bt keyboard, but one of the nice things 
about it is that the Control, Option, and Command keys are on both sides of the 
Space bar.

Re: Some questions about the amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

[Tara Prakash]

I found it to be pretty durable. More than a year of use, the keyboard
is still going strong. The original batteries that came with the
keyboard are still functioning fine. May be they manufacture the
keyboard with some different material now?

Re: Some questions about the amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

Good luck with that keyboard, it is cheaply made and doesn’t last very long.  
I’d say six months.  As for the keyboard help, it’s pretty straight forward, if 
you have used any kind of apple BT keyboard or mac keyboard before, the keys 
are pretty much the same.  HTH

Re: Some questions about the amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

[Tara Prakash]

Looks like for the first and second question you will have to depend
on the list. VO key plus K should turn on the help mode to describe
key combinations, but it has never worked for me on Amazon basic
keyboard.
As about the last question, you can switch the keyboard off and you
should not need any cover for it. You don't have to pair the keyboard
again when you turn it back on.

Re: Some questions about the amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

[Ann Smith]

Hello, I also would be interested in a PDF of this file. I just bought my 
Amazon basics keyboard lesson two months ago I really do like it. I bought mine 
for $20 off of eBay.
Which PDF reader would be good to read this file on an iPhone? I have Kendall, 
voice dream reader, file browser and I think I have another one. Thank you in 
advance.

RE: Some questions about the amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

Subject: Some questions about the amazon basics bluetooth keyboard

Hi All,

I just got my amazon basics Bluetooth keyboard and I have a few questions for 
anyone who has this keyboard.

First, is there somewhere I can get a pdf of the user guide? I tried googling 
but came up empty.

Second, is there a keyboard help mode so I can explore the keyboard and learn 
which keys do what without actually performing the functions?

Last, the keyboard will fit nicely in my handbag for transporting, but it seems 
like I might want some kind cover/case to protect it while it's in there. Any 
suggestions?

Thanks!
Kimber

Hi, yes, I do this quite often and have seen the same issue but what I’ve found

Re: Question about iOs8.1 and Amazon Basics bluetooth keyboard functioning properly?

[Christopher Hallsworth]

Yeah, most of the bluetooth keyboard bugs are fixed in 8.1. Proof is I 
briefly tested it in the beta using a Mac app to simulate a bluetooth 
keyboard but as far as iOS is concerned it's a bluetooth keyboard.

Re: Question about iOs8.1 and Amazon Basics bluetooth keyboard functioning properly?

Hi Julie, I don't use this specific keyboard, but I've found Bluetooth keyboard 
support to be much more stable in iOS 8.1. One new requirement is that, just 
like on a Mac, you need to have Quicknav turned off in order to type text into 
edit fields.

Never mind, I was able to find the podcast on Applevis.com
Is there by any chance a cheat sheet or reference guide as to how to use
either this particular keyboard or bluetooth keyboards in general containing
the various commands for Voiceover and iOS?

Re: Amazon Basics Bluetooth Keyboard Now $26.99

[Alan Paganelli]

The Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard measures 10 inches left to right.  It 
measures 5 inches from top to bottom and is about a half of an inch thick at 
it's widest point.  It uses 2 triple A. batteries. There is a tactual 
marking on the letters F and JJ for easy finger home row location.


The keyboard has 5 rubber feet to keep it in place when it's being used on a 
table top or smooth surface.  The keys are flat.  your not going to find old 
style desktop keys on a portable compact keyboard.  People want a keyboard 
they can drop in a backpack.  I like this keyboard because I can type on it 
even with the keyboard in my lap and my iPhone in my shirt pocket.  And now 
with iOS 7.03 offering the dictation option in text fields, I probably could 
get by with out that as well.  On the other hand, the Amazon Basics 
Bluetooth keyboard is a great option or even a backup.

I know this topic of keyboards has been beaten to death but when you're not
looking for one, you tend not to pay attention. I'm now looking for a 
small

keyboard
Which is about half the size of a normal keyboard but has similar sized
keys. Is there such a thing out there? I looked at the Anker but it seems 
to

be about the same size as a normal keyboard and I want something smaller.
Also, I do not like the flat keys such as you find on most laptops. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Amazon Basics Bluetooth Keyboard Now $26.99

[Blind Treasures]

I know this topic of keyboards has been beaten to death but when you're not
looking for one, you tend not to pay attention. I'm now looking for a small
keyboard 
Which is about half the size of a normal keyboard but has similar sized
keys. Is there such a thing out there? I looked at the Anker but it seems to
be about the same size as a normal keyboard and I want something smaller.
Also, I do not like the flat keys such as you find on most laptops. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, you an also get a keyboard from Anker. It's as small as the Amazon 
Basics and works nicely. In my opinion it is made better too.

If you buy one now, you can get it at the 26.99 price.  When I ordered mine, 
that's what I did.  It only took like maybe an extra week.

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question

[Christopher Chaltain]

True, but PC's come with really bad keyboards. I don't think I have an 
original keyboard on any of my PC's. Of course, for a fixed location, I 
avoid bluetooth keyboards. I don't want searching for a battery and 
pairing to be part of my debug steps if I don't have to. I mostly use my 
bluetooth keyboards for my iPhone and my netbook, where I can always use 
the devices keyboard if I suspect any trouble with the bluetooth keyboard.

I'd be surprised if it didn't work with Windows PC's since we're just
talking about standard protocols and all. Of course, some Mac specific
features will only work with Apple devices, but that's to be expected.
Going to Google, I see the FAQ for the keyboard does say it works with
Windows as does quite a few different customer reviews.

I'd be surprised if it didn't work with Windows PC's since we're just 
talking about standard protocols and all. Of course, some Mac specific

Going to Google, I see the FAQ for the keyboard does say it works with

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question

[Raul A. Gallegos]

It is true that you can do this, however if you have a keyboard then all you 
need to do is press the voice over with K command and it will go into a 
practice mode anyway no matter where you are. The voiceover key is the two keys 
called control and option pressed together. I cover this in my Amazon Bluetooth 
keyboard podcast as well.

Ray,

By your message, it sounds as though you are quite frustrated with
the iPhone. If this is correct,
you may well have lots of problems with a new one. The greater the
frustration we feel, the harder
it is to learn, and the errors increase, both in number and
complexity. In other words, lots of
frustration means you will most likely fail with the iPhone.

So, if you should decide to get one, I strongly recommend you work
with a trainer to learn the
basics of controlling the device. I also very strongly recommend you
spend much time in the practice
area learning the control gestures and how to navigate the device.
Otherwise, you will be like a

It's a minor point and once I get use to using it I'd probably feel the

back to Amazon and bought the sleeve for it.  I should of bought it at 
the same time I bought the keyboard and could of got both shipped for 
free. Instead, it cost me 8 dollars and 11 cents shipping.  So it came to 
around 27 dollars and change.


I was pleased at how well made it is for the money and thanks to your

Some people have trouble with the roter gesture and others don't. 
Sometimes a tip or two on this list and some practice have helped people 
master this gesture. I was one of the lucky ones who had no trouble with 
this gesture. You can simulate it with a bluetooth keyboard though to make 
it easier. Pressing the left and up arrow keys simultaneously perform a 
roter gesture in one direction and pressing the right and up arrow keys 
perform a roter gesture in the opposite direction.

Hi there. If you are talking about pairing the Bluetooth keyboard with 
your iPhone you can try

this.
First on your phone go to settings and then Bluetooth. I am assuming 
that Bluetooth is enabled.

Next
turn on the Bluetooth keyboard. I am assuming that you have already 
inserted the two AAA

batteries
which may or may not come with it. Mine came with a pair of batteries. 
The power switch is on

the
underside of the keyboard. It is a button which has two positions. 
Toward the battery

compartment

is
on and away from the battery compartment is off. Next to the power 
slide button is a push

button.
Press this for about two or three seconds. Your phone should now 
identify the keyboard. Double

tap
the keyboard entry on your phone and it will prompt you to enter a 
four digit pin on the

keyboard.
You have around 10 or 15 seconds to do this. Probably less. Think of 
this like the Mission
impossible message which selfdistructs. Anyway, type the four digit 
number on the keyboard

followed
by the enter key on the keyboard. That is all there is to it. I highly 
recommend you give my

podcast
a listen and perhaps it will help. If you don't have the link to it, 
search the archives for

this

list or check on Applevis.com.

Nope!

On your iPhone, you would go to settings,Bluetooth.  Assuming of course you 
put the supplied batteries in the keyboard and actually put them in the 
right way round,  your phone will announce Bluetooth keyboard not 
paired.  Then just press and hold the flush mounted rubber button for a 
couple of seconds and turn the keyboard back over and be ready to type. 
Voice over will read you the code like 87000.  If you typed it correctly it 
will announce paring was successful.  Then you can then turn the keyboard 
off and on again and it will still be pared.  I assume though that when the 
batteries die, you probably would have to go through it all over again but 
that's just a guess so if I'm wrong, somebody please correct me.

Ray, the practice area lets you make the gestures.  As you do, voice over 
tells you what they do.  My guess is you haven't been at this long.  Are you 
just gathering information or did you already buy an iPhone?  Everybody has 
a little trouble at first but your a pretty smart guy as I've known you for 
years on another list.  Just relax and take it as it comes.  Ask questions 
by all means but you don't need to spend money for a trainer and that stuff. 
It's that nothing your use to with windows applies here and for some folks, 
that's the first hurdle to get over but if you keep reminding yourself that 
others did it, I can too and continue asking questions you'll be just fine.

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question

[Christopher Chaltain]

Some people have trouble with the roter gesture and others don't. 
Sometimes a tip or two on this list and some practice have helped people 
master this gesture. I was one of the lucky ones who had no trouble with 
this gesture. You can simulate it with a bluetooth keyboard though to 
make it easier. Pressing the left and up arrow keys simultaneously 
perform a roter gesture in one direction and pressing the right and up 
arrow keys perform a roter gesture in the opposite direction.

I suppose that depends on what you mean by more complex gestures. For example 
using the keyboard
pressing control up arrow is the same as a forefinger single tap on the upper 
part of the screen to
move to the upper left element.

Hi there. If you are talking about pairing the Bluetooth keyboard with your 
iPhone you can try

this.

First on your phone go to settings and then Bluetooth. I am assuming that 
Bluetooth is enabled.

Next

turn on the Bluetooth keyboard. I am assuming that you have already inserted 
the two AAA

batteries

which may or may not come with it. Mine came with a pair of batteries. The 
power switch is on

the

underside of the keyboard. It is a button which has two positions. Toward the 
battery

compartment

is

on and away from the battery compartment is off. Next to the power slide button 
is a push

button.

Press this for about two or three seconds. Your phone should now identify the 
keyboard. Double

tap

the keyboard entry on your phone and it will prompt you to enter a four digit 
pin on the

keyboard.

You have around 10 or 15 seconds to do this. Probably less. Think of this like 
the Mission
impossible message which selfdistructs. Anyway, type the four digit number on 
the keyboard

followed

by the enter key on the keyboard. That is all there is to it. I highly 
recommend you give my

podcast

a listen and perhaps it will help. If you don't have the link to it, search the 
archives for

this

list or check on Applevis.com.

I realize of course that everyone's experiences are different when it comes to

However I can honestly say that having the 3GS and now the 4S I don't have

If I do need a pair of eyes to know what is going on that is usually because of

It's a minor point and once I get use to using it I'd probably feel the 
same way.  I like the keyboard so much that I spent the money and went 
back to Amazon and bought the sleeve for it.  I should of bought it at the 
same time I bought the keyboard and could of got both shipped for free. 
Instead, it cost me 8 dollars and 11 cents shipping.  So it came to around 
27 dollars and change.


I was pleased at how well made it is for the money and thanks to your 
podcast, I already knew how to turn it on and to pare it so I was typing 
on it pretty quick from the time I opened it up  If anybody has bought the 
sleve I'd like to hear what you think of it please..

Ray,

By your message, it sounds as though you are quite frustrated with the 
iPhone. If this is correct,
you may well have lots of problems with a new one. The greater the 
frustration we feel, the harder
it is to learn, and the errors increase, both in number and complexity. 
In other words, lots of

frustration means you will most likely fail with the iPhone.

So, if you should decide to get one, I strongly recommend you work with a 
trainer to learn the
basics of controlling the device. I also very strongly recommend you 
spend much time in the practice
area learning the control gestures and how to navigate the device. 
Otherwise, you will be like a
person who does not know how to type or where the letters are on the 
keyboard trying to use a

computer. It will not work.

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question

[Arianna]

The only time I ever had trouble pairing the Bluetooth device with my iPhone 
four, at the time, was when I was pairing the Verbatum keyboard. I had no idea 
where the 1 key was, so I couldn't pare it without sighted assistance. The 
pairing involved entering a code on the keyboard, and finding the one key was a 
bit strange. I actually used Vizwiz to find it. That was the only time that 
I've ever had trouble pairing a keyboard, though.

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question

[Alan Paganelli]

It's a minor point and once I get use to using it I'd probably feel the same 
way.  I like the keyboard so much that I spent the money and went back to 
Amazon and bought the sleeve for it.  I should of bought it at the same time 
I bought the keyboard and could of got both shipped for free.  Instead, it 
cost me 8 dollars and 11 cents shipping.  So it came to around 27 dollars 
and change.


I was pleased at how well made it is for the money and thanks to your 
podcast, I already knew how to turn it on and to pare it so I was typing on 
it pretty quick from the time I opened it up  If anybody has bought the 
sleve I'd like to hear what you think of it please..

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question

[Alan Paganelli]

Nope!

On your iPhone, you would go to settings,Bluetooth.  Assuming of course you 
put the supplied batteries in the keyboard and actually put them in the 
right way round,  your phone will announce Bluetooth keyboard not 
paired.  Then just press and hold the flush mounted rubber button for a 
couple of seconds and turn the keyboard back over and be ready to type. 
Voice over will read you the code like 87000.  If you typed it correctly it 
will announce paring was successful.  Then you can then turn the keyboard 
off and on again and it will still be pared.  I assume though that when the 
batteries die, you probably would have to go through it all over again but 
that's just a guess so if I'm wrong, somebody please correct me.

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question

[Alan Paganelli]

Ray, the practice area lets you make the gestures.  As you do, voice over 
tells you what they do.  My guess is you haven't been at this long.  Are you 
just gathering information or did you already buy an iPhone?  Everybody has 
a little trouble at first but your a pretty smart guy as I've known you for 
years on another list.  Just relax and take it as it comes.  Ask questions 
by all means but you don't need to spend money for a trainer and that stuff. 
It's that nothing your use to with windows applies here and for some folks, 
that's the first hurdle to get over but if you keep reminding yourself that 
others did it, I can too and continue asking questions you'll be just fine.

Ray,

By your message, it sounds as though you are quite frustrated with the 
iPhone. If this is correct,
you may well have lots of problems with a new one. The greater the 
frustration we feel, the harder
it is to learn, and the errors increase, both in number and complexity. In 
other words, lots of

frustration means you will most likely fail with the iPhone.

So, if you should decide to get one, I strongly recommend you work with a 
trainer to learn the
basics of controlling the device. I also very strongly recommend you spend 
much time in the practice
area learning the control gestures and how to navigate the device. 
Otherwise, you will be like a
person who does not know how to type or where the letters are on the 
keyboard trying to use a

computer. It will not work.

I suppose that depends on what you mean by more complex gestures. For
example using the keyboard pressing control up arrow is the same as a
forefinger single tap on the upper part of the screen to move to the upper

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question

[Raul A. Gallegos]

I suppose that depends on what you mean by more complex gestures. For example 
using the keyboard pressing control up arrow is the same as a forefinger single 
tap on the upper part of the screen to move to the upper left element.

Hi there. If you are talking about pairing the Bluetooth keyboard with your 
iPhone you can try

this.

First on your phone go to settings and then Bluetooth. I am assuming that 
Bluetooth is enabled.

Next

turn on the Bluetooth keyboard. I am assuming that you have already inserted 
the two AAA batteries
which may or may not come with it. Mine came with a pair of batteries. The 
power switch is on the
underside of the keyboard. It is a button which has two positions. Toward the 
battery compartment

is

on and away from the battery compartment is off. Next to the power slide button 
is a push button.
Press this for about two or three seconds. Your phone should now identify the 
keyboard. Double tap
the keyboard entry on your phone and it will prompt you to enter a four digit 
pin on the keyboard.
You have around 10 or 15 seconds to do this. Probably less. Think of this like 
the Mission
impossible message which selfdistructs. Anyway, type the four digit number on 
the keyboard

followed

by the enter key on the keyboard. That is all there is to it. I highly 
recommend you give my

podcast

a listen and perhaps it will help. If you don't have the link to it, search the 
archives for this
list or check on Applevis.com.

If I do need a pair of eyes to know what is going on that is usually because of

Thank you for this.  I got my Amazon Basics Bluetooth Keyboard yesterday.  I
was pleasantly surprised at how well made it is and how easy it was to pare
with my iPhone.  Well worth the 30 bucks I paid for it.  My only quibble
with it is the raised markings on a few of the keys could of been more
prominent.  These will be gone within the year.  Other then that minor
thing, this is a great little Bluetooth keyboard.

Press this for about two or three seconds. Your phone should now identify the 
keyboard. Double tap
the keyboard entry on your phone and it will prompt you to enter a four digit 
pin on the keyboard.
You have around 10 or 15 seconds to do this. Probably less. Think of this like 
the Mission
impossible message which selfdistructs. Anyway, type the four digit number on 
the keyboard followed
by the enter key on the keyboard. That is all there is to it. I highly 
recommend you give my podcast

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi there. If you are talking about pairing the Bluetooth keyboard with your 
iPhone you can try this. First on your phone go to settings and then Bluetooth. 
I am assuming that Bluetooth is enabled. Next turn on the Bluetooth keyboard. I 
am assuming that you have already inserted the two AAA batteries which may or 
may not come with it. Mine came with a pair of batteries. The power switch is 
on the underside of the keyboard. It is a button which has two positions. 
Toward the battery compartment is on and away from the battery compartment is 
off. Next to the power slide button is a push button. Press this for about two 
or three seconds. Your phone should now identify the keyboard. Double tap the 
keyboard entry on your phone and it will prompt you to enter a four digit pin 
on the keyboard. You have around 10 or 15 seconds to do this. Probably less. 
Think of this like the Mission impossible message which selfdistructs. Anyway, 
type the four digit number on the keyboard followed by the enter key on the 
keyboard. That is all there is to it. I highly recommend you give my podcast a 
listen and perhaps it will help. If you don't have the link to it, search the 
archives for this list or check on Applevis.com.

I realize of course that everyone's experiences are different when it comes to 
touchscreen devices.
However I can honestly say that having the 3GS and now the 4S I don't have 
those kinds of problems.
If I do need a pair of eyes to know what is going on that is usually because of 
an app which is not
accessible. Pairing Bluetooth devices has never been a problem and has never 
required sighted
assistance.

Ray,

By your message, it sounds as though you are quite frustrated with the iPhone. 
If this is correct,
you may well have lots of problems with a new one. The greater the frustration 
we feel, the harder
it is to learn, and the errors increase, both in number and complexity. In 
other words, lots of
frustration means you will most likely fail with the iPhone.

So, if you should decide to get one, I strongly recommend you work with a 
trainer to learn the
basics of controlling the device. I also very strongly recommend you spend much 
time in the practice
area learning the control gestures and how to navigate the device. Otherwise, 
you will be like a
person who does not know how to type or where the letters are on the keyboard 
trying to use a
computer. It will not work.

Now, that's interesting because I find the raised markings just perfect. 
If they were bigger they would be annoying.

Hi:
First the podcast on this keyboard was excellent. Thanks for saving me
a bunch of work. My question is that when I am on an item such as
calendar I would assume that I should press enter to activate it. That
does not work. So how do I do that? Also, the bottom left key is fn. I
am not sure what it does yet though.

Hi, using a Bleutoothe keyboard doesn't affect the usage of Voice Over at all. 
So, you will be safe there.

Hi, I changed the subject line to be a bit more appropriate to the
topic discussed. In any case, I didn't give those because I said where
you could get it from. I also believe I compared it to the Apple
Keyboard. So, that would have given you a second source to compare it
to. I've provided the link below and it should tell you though. BTW,
the cost is currently $29.99.

Re: Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard question - Was Re: Question to Raul

[Alan Paganelli]

The funny thing was, wile looking on Amazon for keyboard bag, they had a 10 
inch bag made for netbooks and small objects for 10 bucks.  It was 10 by 6 
or 10 by 5 I don't remember.  I don't have to buy a case right now.  Walmart 
has a section of all kinds of bags and cases.  I've got several bags from 
there.  I have one that holds my Breeze, it's power supply and the DVDs I 
burned that contain the maps and they all fit very nice in that bag and the 
bag was around 9 bucks so I'll look there first.  I can always order one 
from Amazon if I can't find one there at Walmart.

Alan, I think we're talking about the same case.  The reviews indicated 
people were taking the keyboard out of the case and then fitting it back 
into the case when finished.  Many of them said the fit was too tight to 
do this easily.  This is definitely not the case I want though it does 
sound like it would protect the keyboard.

I just saw a very nice case for this keyboard until I saw the price. 
Amazon wants 20 bucks for it.  Then I looked at the description.  It's a 
padded case with a fleece lining inside.  I didn't order it at that 
price but if the keyboard lives up to my expectations at some point down 
the road I may order it too because it looks really well made

Hi there. I'd definitely recommend this one. If you haven't heard my 
podcast on it, give it a listen and see for yourself. The link is

Hi, more on this app. I played with it a little more and saw that 
in
order for it to read, it uses cloud-based TTS reading. So this 
means
that which ever document you have loaded in the app, it uses data 
to
send the document to the net and then the TTS voice reads it to 
you.
So, this is a bit like streaming. I don't know how much data it 
uses

up with this method, but I don't see it as being a viable source of

This one Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard seems to be very popular and it's 
only $29.99 and free shipping at Amazon.com.  I expect I'll have many 
questions when mine comes.  My birthday is tomorrow and I was hoping it 
comes before then.  It doesn't look like it though.  Amazon hasn't sent the 
notice of shipping message yet.

In

I'm learning it it would be nice too if I can also open let's say email
via the phone and use the keyboard just to type in text in an email
message.

My reason for buying it was so that I can do email wile traveling.

Thanks for this great little keyboard recommendation.  I really didn't
want to shell out allot of money for a keyboard that will only get
limited use. This should fill my needs rather nicely.

Hi, the batteries are the same I've used since June 2012 and I've yet to 
replace them. Several times I've even forgotten to turn off the keyboard 
via the power switch, but it goes into sleep mode and so battery life is 
saved. All in all, this is the best Bluetooth keyboard for under $40 I've 
seen.

Hi Lisa, I'm so glad to hear that my podcast helped you make a good
decision. I looked at the case for it from Amazon and wasn't
personally impressed. Of course it's totally subjective and so don't
take my word for it. What I did was get a Targus gadget bag which is
about 10 inches from left to right and it holds my keyboard, my extra
battery pack, various cables, headphones, and anything else which is
on the smaller side. Then when I travel I just put the keyboard in
that and it fits just fine along with the New Trent battery packs,
their cables, my Bluetooth headphones, and a couple of USB sticks and
USB cables. Basically the nerd things I would need on a job or
personal trip. I don't even take my netook any more, which used to be
my default portable solution.

Hi.  I purchased this keyboard on the basis of Raul's awesome demo. 
The
price was also a contributing factor.  It was under $30 and eligible 
for

that ever popular Super Saver Shipping.

Thanks to the demo, I was able to pair the keyboard with my iPhone
completely solo, and I'm a totally blind tech dork.  The only 
difference

between my experience and the demo was that I had to install the
batteries myself.  Otherwise, I'm very happy with my purchase.

This keyboard is small, but the keys are large enough for someone with
big hands, there's a raised dot on the F and J keys, as well as dots on
the up and down arrow keys.  There are also media control keys, as well
as a volume key at the top of the keyboard.  You can turn on voice over
help once the keyboard is paired and learn the layout that way, though
only the top row are different from a conventional keyboard.

I really like this keyboard's feel for the money.  I'm considering
purchasing the case Amazon offers just to extend the keyboard's
portability.

Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly.  Sorry.  If I have the keyboard and 
my iPhone going at the same time, can I still use my touch screen to open 
let's say my email.  Then when when I hit reply, I can then type my reply on 
the keyboard, and then send the message from the iPhone?  I have no 
experience with an external keyboard much less to know the keyboard short

initial
impressions this app does look rather promising.
