Maybe, but what do you expect from a press release? They're not going to say "priced at an unimpressive ...". Also, why is the list subscribed to these updates? Wouldn't it be better if individuals just subscribed themselves? On 08/09/12 13:22, Kevin Barry wrote: > News but the word "staggering"

Hi all, I'm just curious. What do you suppose the difference would be between using an app like this one or simply using, say, the notes app to write messages back and forth? Thanks, Grant -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. To search the VIPh

Here we go again with the expensive apps model for the disabled trying to be pushed into the fair App model pricing of the Apples apps store. Capitalism at its best. On Sep 8, 2012, at 1:27 PM, Maccessibility wrote: > Maccessibility has posted a new item, 'The Humanware Communicator for iOS' >

It wasn't a press release. It was a third party taking it upon themselves to post it to the list with the comments added. At 02:27 PM 9/8/2012, you wrote: Maybe, but what do you expect from a press release? They're not going to say "priced at an unimpressive ...". Also, why is the list subsc

It does have a few advantages, but not worth $99. I beta tested this over the summer. But you're right that most of the features already exist in apps like Notes. For example, you can set up the app to send longer fraises with the press of like 3 keystrokes. You can do that with auto correction. Ab

If you're low income and live in the US, you may be able to get a device, but I"m afraid they're not just giving money away. Sorry. LOL.

Hi Scott. Does the app only work with the Humanware Braille products, or does it work with other Braille displays with typing keyboards as well? I just have to make this clear because I know someone who might find this app extremely useful. Best regards: Søren Jensen Mail & MSN: s...@coolfortheb

Hi Søren. No, the app will work with any display, I was beta testing it with my Refreshabraille, and it worked just fine. I'll be posting a comprehensive review of it soon. Just waiting for various sources that publish my stuff to approve and get it out there. Scott On 9/10/12, Søren Jensen wrot
