Kirt,

I agree there. I generally try to either ask other blind iOS users about an
app or look it up on applevis.com before downloading it, especially if it's
a paid app.

Brandon,
Podcasts and information coming directly from a developer are fantastic, and
I'm honestly not trying to minimize that. Still, I'm going to wait until I
get a few realistic reviews from people who have actually use this thing for
a little while. I'm also very skeptical of software that doesn't give me
some sort of trial option before I purchase.

but I personally need a little more convincing that it's really worth it
before I spend the money.

>> Hello,
>> I thought you note taking students would love to check this out. You know
that feeling when you have over 20 word documents open, alt tabbing through
notes to write a paper? One note is a simulation of a notebook, that is
super accessible. Now you can have all your notes in one application and
just use hot keys to move between documents.
>> You can export your notes to a PDF, word and an interactable virtual
viewer.

>> As we near the middle of 2013, Do It Blind is ecstatic to announce a new
script!  We have been working long and hard on OneNote by Microsoft.  We now
have OneNote Blind!  OneNote is a word processing program included in many
of the Microsoft Office packages.  It is a great alternative to Word and has
many different features which make life easy.  In a nutshell, OneNote is a
virtual notebook.  You can create different notebooks, sections within the
notebook, and pages within the sections.  It is a phenomenal tool to
organize thoughts, letters, and projects all in one program and all
accessible from one screen.  You no longer have to open up several word
documents and switch back and forth.  With OneNote, everything is on the
same screen.  Because of the amazing features, we decided to script OneNote
and create OneNote Blind.  It is now fully accessible to the visually
impaired and blind users!  We are absolutely positive this will be a
tremendous tool for blind people.  It is easy to navigate through notebooks,
sections, and pages.  You can scroll through all of your notes with just the
touch of the tab key.  We are confident OneNote Blind will make your life
easier and make your notes more organized and easy to access.
