Hi everyone, hope this message finds you all well. I have a couple of questions about iPads and usage by people with either low vision or who are totally blind.. Do any of you own an iPad? if so, what is your primary use for it? Is the iPad a supplement for working on your laptops or desktops, or is it your main computer? what kind of keyboard or braille display do you use with your iPad if you use one? Do you use the iPad for virtual meetings now that everyone is moving on to online classes and work due to the COVID-19 pandemic?
I have both an iPhone and a Mac computer. I primarily bought an iPad so I can do my work while I am away from home since my computer is now my main desktop. I preferred to travel with the iPad rather than my computer for long commutes. overtime, heavy bags with laptops can take a toll on my back. I use it as a notetaker since I do not currently own any of the dedicated notetakers that feature braille displays like the braille note. Instead, I have a focus 40 braille display that I use with both my iPhone and iPad, but the only drawback is that it is not very portable because it does not fit into my purses. However, I like the fact that the iPad is functioning more and more like a laptop with each newsoftware update since I recently bought myself a keyboard case from Amazon. It is similar to the keyboards found on the Apple laptops because the commands needed to access various functions like a dedicated home screen are accessible with just one key which is the escape key. The keys are nice and comfortable to type on, and sSmall keyboards are not really a problem for me since I have small hands. Because of the four vents that represent the newer speakers, it is actually made for the iPad Pro but it fits my current 5 Generation iPad just right and it automatically wakes up the screen once I open it. I was just wondering about this. Stay safe and take care, Priscilla Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
