[nabs-l] Focus 40 use with iPhone

Wed Dec 18 20:42:25 UTC 2013

I don't have anything beside the Apex.  I don't have money for a 
piano teacher.

Do you have a laptop, Marissa?  You'd be better off using Skype 
on
there.  As for learning piano on Skype...not really a good 
option.
Learning any kind of instrument through a virtual medium like 
Skype is
really not a very good way to learn.  You should try looking for 
a
piano teacher.  What state are you in?  I might be able to pull 
some
strings.  I'm not sure, but I could give it a try.

 It's a notetaker in the Braille Sense line, made by Hims.  The 
U2
 is
 their latest and greatest model.  Marissa, I'm right there with
 you; I
 want one so badly.  I don't really "need" one, but I want it.

  I honestly can't recall; I haven't seen a Focus in a while, but
 I
  think there are thumb keys on the front edge of the braille
 display,
  similar to those on a BraillleNote.  There are probably four of
 them.
  I believe it's the two middle ones that will move you forward
 and
  backward through the book.  If I am wrong and there are no 
thumb
 keys,
  then there are probably two rows of really little buttons just
 above
  the braille display.  The furthest right and furthest left
 buttons on
  the bottom row will do the same thing.  I'm sorry this is so
 vague,
  but I haven't seen a Focus in a couple years, so I'm just kind
 of
  going from memory here.
