Vejas,

He has, though not recently, read using the display.  I believe we have
updated a time or two since he did this, so your problem is absolutely
capable of existing despite his previous ability to read without having it.

What I would suggest, and not just to you but others as well, is to find one
of the listserves which deal in iOS devices and ask there.

I am currently subscribed to mac-access and have got mail turned off, but am
also subscribed to the ViPhone google group.

Sorry I'm not being very helpful.  I sincerely wish I had another
suggestion.

Best,

Amber

Hi Amber,
In IBooks I was having problems getting the display to show the book, but
Voice-Over still worked.  Does your fiancée use voice-over or does he read
using the display?

Hello,

I am unsure as to why you are having problems reading in iBooks, as my
fiancée has read using his Apex without difficulty, but I can say that
opening an edit field is as simple as pressing a cursor router button
located above text that is part of the title of the field.

As I recall, cursor router buttons that lack characters below them will not
activate the field.

HTH,

Amber

Hi,
I am beginning to learn how to use the ipad.  I am using my braillenote apex
to act as a display, and therefore use the braille note keyboard to control
the ipad.  I had 2 questions.
My first question is, when I open up IBooks, Voice-Over reads the book, but
it doesn't appear on the Braille display.  How do I get the text of the book
on the display?
Second, how do you go into a text field?
Thanks,
Vejas
