I'd think that the camera quality is going to make a difference in the OCR as well. I'm kind of curious about this, because I have an iPod 5G, which is my only iOS device. Do you find the results with KNFB Reader to be comparable to or better than the other OCR apps such as Prizmo and Text

Wasn't there a bluetooth keyboard issue that got resolved in iOS7? My guess is that there are enough bugs that folks are not being silent about it. I'm not sure how much that translates into stuff getting done. None of the bugs I've encountered have been absolutely crucial. The only one that's

I'm confused by your question, because using the onscreen keyboard doesn't have anything to do with an external device. It's like turning to handwriting mode and trying to use an external keyboard. I don't think the two modes are compatible. I did try using a Braille display to enter text while

Re: Continuous braille reading

2014-09-20 Thread Teresa Cochran
Continuous Braille reading means that you can keep pressing the panning buttons and the pages will turn when you get to a new one. It has nothing to do with automatic scrolling, which still doesn't work on iOS. You can change the setting in Settings, General, Accessibility, Voiceover, Braille.
