[Blindtlk] Hold Up, Wait A Minute!

[Jasmine Kotsay]

Hi,
	Just remember that when you have someone else help you set 
up the iDevice, you have to have them turn on the Accessibility 
shortcut, which can be found in Settings, General, Accessibility.

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?
