Re: iPad as a Productivity Tool
I haven’t had an iPad in a long time. I think having one with a Bluetooth keyboard would be good if it has gotten better with Accessibility. For example, as far as I know, there is no good way to deal with anything but a very rudimentary PDF document on Apple products.. Got links. Nothing. Have to read a table? Can’t do it. I don’t know how word and XL would work, but I sure wouldn’t do it without a keyboard. I thought Apple had instituted some kind of find future equivalent to what we’ve been able to do in windows for years with screen readers. But I might be wrong. I thought they had done it for the Mac with voiceover but that would’ve carried over to the iPad. But since my only Apple products these days are an iPhone and watch, I’m not in a position to make definitive statements.

RE: iPad as a Productivity Tool
Hi Joe, I do have an iPad and enjoy it, but there are still some things I find much easier to do on a PC. You can navigate by headings in a browser,but I know of no way to do this without using the rotor. I also am a heavy user of the Find feature with JAWS on web pages and am not aware of an equivalent in IOS. I would love to be proven wrong on this. I also need to use Excel and Word quite a lot, which I find much easier on the PC. So it really depends on what you want to use it for, in my opinion.

Re: iPad as a Productivity Tool
Hi Joe; I’ve been using iOS products and Mac products since 2015. I’ve never went back to windows for any reason. Just pick up the iOS and Mac products and don’t look back. When I want to edit an app I bring it into notes. I do it by hand. And you certainly can jump from heading to heading with a Bluetooth keyboard. Hope this helps.
