Hi Tod and all! How ar eyou all? Hey Todd, I actualy use the Voice memos app in order to record and so n. and actually my boyfriend hwo i s deafblidn uses it as well to record! And yes, I agree that there are a lot of bugs in software, but one should not complain about them; instead, one should suggest in fixig them. If one keeps complaining then things will never get fix! I know that using a braille display with an apple device is sometiems difficult, but not impossible. I look forward in hearing from uyou soon. Thanks so much!
