[Blindtlk] Hold Up, Wait A Minute!

[Cindy Ray]

With the iPad and iPhone you can set up pretty much everything yourself so
long as you get VoiceOver turned on; then you can use the triple click
shortcut to turn it on or off. The other tablets you can load JAWS on. The
one I got is not very easily used without a keyboard so I don't. It works
more like a PC and can connect to our network; the iPad doesn't connect to
our network. Of course it does connect to the wifi, but our home network it
cannot connect to so I can't get stuff off the hard drive. I am not sure how
to do it and maybe there is a way, but I had to have someone set up my
Tablet--load JAWS onto it. It is more like using the computer and I like it
for many reasons, but I can't get my braille device to work with it. The
braille device works quite nicely with my iPad and iPhone. I think with the
phones that are not Apple, they have a third party talking program on them,
but I think that probably they will put that on there for you at the store
where you get it.

I don't know about other tablets, but with the iPad you can buy one that is
wifi only or one that can connect to a cellular signal.  You cannot change
or add this later.  You also have to purchase the iPad with the wireless
provider you intend to use, if you intend to use a wireless plan with it. 
If you purchase an iPad with the ability to connect to a cellular signal,
you don't have to buy a plan at that time.  You can add it later.

When I purchased my iPad I had the salesperson at the store turn on Voice
Over for me.  I knew nothing about the product then, just that Voice Over
came with it.  He had never heard of Voice Over, so I told him to look in
settings and he figured it out from there.  He also set up my Apple ID and
whatnot for me.  They do this for all the customers.  I didn't ask, but I
don't see any reason why you couldn't do this on your own if you wanted to.

About those other tablets like the Acer and Microsoft ones all not on Apple,
when you load JAWS on them do they work the same? I mean where u can use
them without the keyboard?

When you get one Apple device, what all do you have to do to get it up and
running? Like with the phone I'd have to buy a talk plan? What about the
iPad and such? How does that work getting one from Wally World or Sam's
club?
