[Blindtlk] Would like to hear from cell phone users.

Hi Marsha,

Check out applevis.com; there should be a tutorial on iBooks 
there.  If you can't find it on AppleVis, I know there's a 
section on iBooks in the Getting Started with the iPhone book 
from NBP.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

Mike,

Is there a tutorial out there for using Ibooks? I am addicted to 
reading,
but when I tried to use Ibooks, I could not figure it out.  Any 
help, tricks
would be appreciated!

Marsha

Marsha:

Both iBooks and filer will read PDF documents, presuming they're 
accessible
and iBooks has managed to read some PDFs that I could not read on 
my PC.

Mark,

Tell me more about how you take pictures of the board for notes? 
What app
does this? Do you read PDF's on your Iphone, and what apps do 
this?

Thanks,

Judy,

I have the iphone.  I personally like it, and find it is the best 
phone on
the market for how I use it.  As a college student, I use my 
iphone to do
many things because I can't always have a laptop or note taker 
with me.  I
keep my calendar containing my classes appointments and other 
time
obligations so that I don't miss any important appointments, I 
use the phone

to read email, It's my alarm clock, my watch, my GPS, and link to 
the world.

My iphone has mostly supplanted my laptop and Braille note for 
most
situations, however, my laptop and note taker are still used, 
just
differently than they were before the iphone.

The iphone can be used to quickly respond to professor's emails, 
or to
quickly copy notes off the board by photographing them.  It can 
be used as a
money reader to check to make shore I was given proper change at 
the
cafeteria.  The uses for the iphone are endless.

I found it to be quite simple to use, although it had a bit of a 
learning
curve.  Feel free to contact me off list with any questions.

Good luck in finding a new phone.

Mark

 After years of using various Nokia devices with Talks, I'm 
thinking about
 switching to something else, or at least, seeing if there is 
anything
 better out there.  I'm very impressed with the iPhone and 
VoiceOver, but
 would like to hear how easy it is to adapt to using the touch 
pad.

 I'm not impressed with MobileSpeak voices, tried a phone using 
that in a
 previous upgrade, and returned the phone and program.

 I would like to hear from people about the pros and cons of the 
phones and

 programs they are using, so I can make an informed decision this 
next
 upgrade.

 I am currently using Nokia's N96, but am not as happy with the 
phone as I
 thought I would be.  I have to replace the phone's plastic back 
every so
 often, although I do love the Talks clarity of eloquence speech.

 Thanks in advance for all your advice and suggestions.

 Judy Jones
