[blindkid] blindkid Digest, Vol 101, Issue 15

Tue Sep 18 20:28:20 UTC 2012

Have you seen the Humanware tutorial for using Apex with iOS devices?
If not, here is the link:

http://support.humanware.com/en-usa/support/braillenote_apex/using_braillenote_apex_with_ios_devices

If you can't cut/paste that link, just go to the Humanware Support
page for Apex and then to the Tutorials page, where the link will show
up.

We've been learning to use a Brailliant with iPod, which I think
should share the same commands, but we haven't used iBooks, only
Bookshare.
