The problem of blindness is not the lack of eyesight. The real problem is
the misunderstanding and lack of information that exists. If a blind person
has proper training and opportunity, blindness is only a physical nuisance.

Hey!! Chris, this is Helga. Thanks for the suggestions regarding the
disadvantages of an iPad, and the advantages of buying an iPod touch for
school and for many other things. I just wanted to tell you that I have an
iPhone 5, and I don't really own an iPhone 5s is because my contract is not
over yet! But I would really like to have a IOS device where I could edit
and write papers for school. I just wanted to ask you, does the iPod touch
has a Microsoft word included and it comes for for free? Just curious! And
if it does, that will be a beneficial device for school! I will really
appreciate it, if you could give me some suggestions regarding this. Thanks
and God bless!! :)

purchasing an iPad when you already are using an iPhone and a laptop. The
chief difference between an iPad and an iPhone is that the iPad is bigger
and consequently has a bigger screen. This may be of some importance to
someone with low vision, but I have a totally blind person do not find it
important. In fact, I found the iPads size to be a drawback when compared to
the much more portable iPhone when I was using an iPad for school. The only
reason you might want another device for school is for memory reasons.
However, you could just as easily purchase an iPod touch which is much more
portable but has the memory you need to store the documents you need for
classes. This is what I chose to do after finding that I didn't like the
iPad.

for iOS. However, this app is inaccessible. I would recommend apples pages
app for wordprocessing on your iPhone or another iOS device. This app
enables you to open, save and edit files, as well as share them with others
in a variety of different file formats including Microsoft word. If you are
using an iPhone 5C or 5S, this app is free. If you are using an older model
it is $9.99.

>> Hi guys, this is Helga. Good morning! I just wanted to tell you that I'm
currently using an iPhone and a laptop that have JAWS install in it for
school. What I wanted to ask you is, do you think it would it be worth it to
buy an iPad for school even though I use an iPhone and a Laptop for school
and for many other things? Just curious! Also, I just wanted to ask you,
does the iPad and iPhone have Microsoft word int it, so that I could write
my papers and assignments? Just wondering. I will really appreciate it, if
you could give me some suggestions regarding this. Thanks and God bless!! :)
