A Hope for iOS 11: How Apple Could Implement Spellcheck with VoiceOver in
iOS
By Brian Giles | March 13, 2017
The influx of new notetakers at the last couple of CSUN conferences
<http://www.blindbargains.com/audio/> is great to see. More choice is
always a good thing, as is having fewer, and lighter, devices to cary around
to get things done. But what about iOS? Apple positions its iPad Pros as a
way to take better notes <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-9tvx0aO1U> and
a great way to get rid of things on your desk
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7KgsNHuSFc> in their latest adds. But
there is one feature Apple needs to implement for this to be a viable option
for VoiceOver users -- an easy way to spell check.

Yo, Human! - Knowing the Shortcuts is Key(s): Accessing Life with Adaptive
Technology
By Nicholas | March 1, 2017
Brought to you by the letter "Control-Option-A".
Before my VoiceOver adventures began, I would tutor my clients on the use of
standard shortcut keys and how to discover new keys by looking at the menus.
The key-combinations are listed to the right of each menu item. Most of the
often-used keys involved the use of the Command key on Mac, or the Control
key on Windows. On the Mac, hold down Command with your thumb and press "s"
and the current document will be saved. Look at the File menu, next to the
"Save" menu item is "Command-s." Simple, right?
Most people can speed up their navigation by using only a dozen or so keys.
The most-used keys on Mac and Windows can be activated by pressing their
first letter, command-o for open, command-s for save, etc. With a few
exceptions. see the list below.
