I recommended the file share applications because they would allow you to use their built in facilities to read the documents. Again I would highly suggest you talk to your state counselor if you have one about purchasing the KNFB app for you. The KNFB reader app runs on both iDevices and Android devices and can read just about whatever document type you need including .pdf files. The application is 99 dollars but it is well worth the money if you can find a way to get it. Hope this helps.

Google Drive, KNFB reader, and the Blackboard application called mobile learn I think, are all applications you can download to your iPad. Here is roughly the steps you will take on your iPad to open, store, and read your .pdf files.
> 1. Make sure you have Google drive or something similar on your iPad and associated with your account.
> 2. Use the blackboard application called mobile learn to locate your .pdf files you need to read.

> 4. When this menu comes up you will want to tell it to either save it to your Google Drive or equivalent application on your iPad. You can also select the "Open with" option right from the linked item if you have the KNFB reader application and it will not only open it but it will convert the text into an accessible format and begin reading it to you using its high quality voice.

> One additional suggestion I have would be to simply download the files found in your Blackboard and save them in your Google Drive folder all at once so you can just access them when you need them rather than having to go through this process every time.

I recommended the file share applications because they would allow you to use their built in facilities to read the documents. Again I would highly suggest you talk to your state counselor if you have one about purchasing the KNFB app for you. The KNFB reader app runs on both iDevices and Android devices and can read just about whatever document type you need including .pdf files. The application is 99 dollars but it is well worth the money if you can find a way to get it. Hope this helps.

I know that the staff are wonderful people and you will have a wonderful time during your training. Congratulations, I am a proud graduate of BLIND Inc in Minnesota, and I can tell you that the experience for me as a second round for training was a wonderful one.

If you use Safari you are using a web browser and the functionality of the browser is not the same as the mobile learn application at all. As I stated in all of my previous emails I highly recommend that you download the mentioned applications and follow the instructions I provided you. If you choose not to do this I am going to be unable to assist you further as I do not know of any other methods for doing what you need to do. Hope this helps.

I recommended the file share applications because they would allow you to use their built in facilities to read the documents. Again I would highly suggest you talk to your state counselor if you have one about purchasing the KNFB app for you. The KNFB reader app runs on both iDevices and Android devices and can read just about whatever document type you need including .pdf files. The application is 99 dollars but it is well worth the money if you can find a way to get it. Hope this helps.
