Are there any CMS )Client Management System) software out there that is

I have also seen this a lot with the NFB newsline reader. I wonder if it has
something to do with large buffers of text for the Braille display to pan
through.

It is a fun program to work with and I have seen both via private email and
twitter that they plan to put in a fix very soon so hopefully these problems
will go away.

Hi Lisette,
Sorry about not getting back to you sooner. Somehow I missed this the first
time around.
Anyway, I've gotten reports of similar delays across brands, but the delays
seem the most severe with the HIMS brand and/or large files. I've already
reported the problem to Amazon, so I'm keeping
Map quest works too and is free.
I also have Ariende and sendaro look around and blind square.
Those work well.
I do not want to pay $70 a year for something I can't try first and think what
I have works well for my needs.

Isn't the voice guidance $10 a month not just $10? That would mean $120 per
year for turn by turn and the whole set up is not as convenient as having it
all in one app, which is what you get with seeing Eye, which ends up being
cheaper, if my supposition about cost for Motion X is right.

Hi Randy.
MotionX GPS drive is $0.99, and voice guidance is $10 a year.
Blindsquare is not a turn by turn application. So therefore, using both is a
great.
HTH.

Hey Matt,
Thanks for the info, how much is the second app you use? I guess I am a bit
confused as to what these apps do, I would think that a GPS app would be able
to give turn by turn directions.

Wait, I thought blind square was $15? not $24?
Also, Randy, yes you can if you use a second app for exactturn-by-turn.
For example, I use blind square and MotionX GPS Drive.

HI. I think after a while you get used to what you need to interact with and
not. It's a bit like some programmes in windows if pressing enter or space

kind of the same thing.

In my opinion interaction really is very efficiant because it's so logical. But
on the other hand it's not obvious to people who are new to this on the Mac

Here is a very basic and probably stupid question, but with blind Square, am I
able to enter a destination address and have it take me directly to that
address as a pedestrian? Or is it limited to intersections? An app that has
very precise pedestrian walking directions would be incredibly Usefu
True, but my understanding is that Blindsquare does this as well, plus it runs
in the background. So, you open Blindsquare for intersection/POI announcements,
find your destination, have it tell Apple Maps or Google maps where you want to
go, then follow the mapping app's directions as Blindsqua
Hi there
I would like to give an example. Suppose you were going to do mostly pedestrian

mode. This is because it will tell you whether a street crossing goes through
or not by saying crossing right and left. That way y

I accidentally put Mail into full screen mode and I can't return it to normal.
Now, Mail itself is a bit sluggish, with VO taking several seconds to see newly

Yeah I think you might be right as the iCloud feature might only work moving

Its basically telling VO, this is what I want to focus on, and not like
