[nabs-l] Focus 40 use with iPhone

Wed Dec 18 20:58:15 UTC 2013

If you're really interested in using Skype, then I would definitely
look into getting a computer.  It would be good to have one anyway for
school.  You're going to need it.  You can get JAWS or NVDA on it if
you have a PC (or Window-Eyes if you really want to have some fun) or
if you get a Mac, it comes with Voiceover already installed.  If you
have an iPod touch, iPad, iPad Mini or iPhone, you can use skype on
any and all of those devices.
