[Blindtlk] iPad questions

[Aaron Allen]

Hello!

As a person who uses both an Iphone and Ipad, I can say that using the
Iphone with a Bluetooth keyboard may be your best bet.

The Apple full size keyboard works great and the only issue is which note
taking software you wish to use.

Pages, Keynote, and Numbers each cost about 10 bucks each and work on both
IPhone and Ipad.

Standard Apple full-size Bluetooth keyboard. It fits in a backpack and the
only "gotchya" is you should keep it in its box so it won't turn on
accidentally. Otherwise, an iPad with a keyboard cover works fine (my wife
has one).

Best solution IMO is a dedicated note-taker such as a BrailleNote Apex or
HIMS BrailleSense U2. But that's a lot of money. Simplest is the iPhone and
Bluetooth keyboard. Which Bluetooth keyboard you choose is a matter of
taste.

Hi there,
Now that you kind guys are talking about iPad, I have another question.
I am at UMBC doing a Phd in Human Centered Computing and I need to take
notes in different meetings and sessions that I take part.
Currently, I have an iPhone and I was thinking if I could use it to take
notes not to have my laptop all the times with me. What is your suggestion
to buy as a bluetooth keyboard to connect to my iPhone. I myself was
thinking about having an iPad with a keyboard attached to it in a case (if
availabel) that helps me benefit from both a tablet and a keyboard enabled
device on my choice. What do you suggest?
