[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] Re: Fwd: RiVO for iPhone VoiceOver is now available in 20 languages

[Baracco, Andrew W]

It's a way to get around having to use the touch screen. One can think of it as a kind of remote control.

Excellent question Jim, I would also be really curious about this. The only thing I can think is that they mean  that it works well with VO which honestly, the apple Bluetooth keyboard works just fine with VO as well:).
Happy Monday!
Chris

All bluetooth keyboards can interact with Apple messaging, including text messaging.

What I can't really tell is what make the RIVO keyboard different than other bluetooth keyboards, and what it means to be a bluetooth keyboard designed for the blind?  What special needs do we have around BT keyboards?

Anybody know?

Thanks,

Jim
