Hi. I have been a windows user for many years, but I have recently got the chance to play with a mac and have been amazed at the abilities of voiceover on the OS. I know that there have been many changes to the macbook lineup in the last few years, such as new keyboards, touch bar, and the removal of ports. I was wondering if as of 2018, it is still possible to get a macbook air 13 inch? If I did get a mac, I would be using it for general computing tasks, such as word processing, web browsing, etc. Thanks.

Hello,
I will be managing large amounts of emails on an iPad. I am hoping to do the majority of my text editing and screen navigation from the qwerty keyboard but I want to be able to read and edit my work using a Focus 40 braille display. Is it possible to have both external devices connected and working together at the same time? Also, any differences I should be aware of in working with email messages on the iPad vs the iPhone?

Hi all,
VO redirecting itself through an external bluetooth device is what you'd likely want to happen if you were using a bluetooth headset or the like. Sometimes though, it'd be preferable to be able to play content through an external bluetooth thing, whilst keeping VO talking through the speaker on whichever iOS device you're holding. I'm not seeing a way to get this to happen here in iOS 7, and wondered whether it'd been added in iOS 8?

Hi, Everyone.
I have been fortunate enough to borrow a magic keyboard case for a month, and I really like that I can use the keyboard globe button as a function button, enabling me to move by sentence or paragraph without needing to assign a custom shortcut that I would have to remember. Can you reassign how the dedicated Siri button on the Bridge keyboard behaves?

Hello all, yesterday I purchased a new iPod Nano 7th generation I think, I'm jumping up from the 4th generation which had the click wheel. This latest Nano I brought is touch-screen bass and of course has Voiceover built into it. In any case, it comes with the lighting USB Cable if that should shed some clarity on the generation I've brought.
So the question is:
I already own an iPhone 5 which comes with the same cable. However, I was wondering would the wall charger of the 5 be compatible and more importantly, safe to use to charge my newly iPod Nano?

Hi all,
I use an iPhone 5s with iOS 10.02 and an iPod Touch 5g with iOS 9.3.5. Both devices work fine though are a bit sluggish. My question is if is it worth buying a new iPod 6g or iPhone se or 6s? How is the battery etc. Note that I will be usng apps for the visually impaired so for instance a good camera is crucial. Thanks for your help.

Hi there
i own an iPad Air 4 generation and yesterday was wondering if it is worth to change it to a M1 or M2 model, whatsoever iPad Air 5 or any iPad pro model, and I would like to know if voiceover users have any advantage using the M1 and M2 chips against 14 bionic.
Post Date:
I know that the new Macs with M1 chips are amazing. But, I am getting good deal on the 2017 model of MacBook air, the one with the Intel chip. As I do want to have Windows on my Mac as well, do you think MacBook Air 2017 is a good choice for next 5 to 6 years?
How long will it be getting MacOS updates? Will it be able to run Windows 11?
Most importantly, How is it's Keyboard? Will it break down easyly? Will it be expensive to fix if it breaks?

Can anybody tell me if the Griffin iTalk App is accessible with VoiceOver?

What phone do people recommend for someone who is partially sighted. One that someone can speak into and it will type out the message and then send it and will also read out text messages that come in. One that has the best accessibility for someone who is severely sight impaired.

Bought 5th generation iPod Touchs for a blind newstand manager at the state Capitol and my 18 year old nephew with CP but home button too difficult to push; what are the alternatives for external triggering of Siri?
Post Date:
I'm looking for a dock or other accessory that can allow me to connect my iPod Touch or iPhone to a PA system without everybody having to hear VoiceOver. This will be used for music during the breaks at band gigs. I currently can't use my iPod or iPhone for break music because the only way I currently have to connect it to the PA system is through the headphone jack, and I don't want people to have to hear VoiceOver and the music constantly auto-ducking for it. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a perkins style bluetooth keybord for the IPhone? I currently have the hable1 and I like it but typing braille with the keys in a vertical fassion instead of a perkins style layout is going to take some getting use to. If there is one thing I would change about the hable1 so far it would be that. Perhaps they designed it that way because of the size.
Thanks,
Troy

Hi Everyone.
I am visually impaired and work with software development / machine learning.
I would like to dedicate some time to create open source ML-based applications for the blind.
Do you know if there is a smart glass with camera support which I could capture the camera stream and process the video in my custom application?
I read that the new Meta glasses could livestream to facebook and instagram. However I am not sure if I could create a custom app to get the data.
I would appretiate any help/ideas.

Hi guys. I just got a HomePod. When I set it up, it was using the Siri voice, but it was still running the first ever release for HomePod. After updating it, voiceover just plain broke. I had to reset the HomePod, and when it came back, voiceover was using Samantha compact. Is this expected behavior?

Hi all,
Has anyone notice that the HookeAudio app is still up on the AppStore? for me I did. the app hasn't been updated since December 2020. here's the bad news: their main sight is gone. On the other hand, their twitter is still up, but hasn't been updated since December 2020.
I remembered we all used to receive updates from Anthony and the rest of the team, but it has recently been completely quiet. Is this the end? I still have the Hooke Verse, which I no longer use. so I'm just wondering.

good evening everyone,
I am using an iPhone XR with the latest version of IOS. I am having truble with Bluetooth speakers cutting out randomly when streaming Netflics or Disney Plus. Things are just fine when I have content that is already downloaded on my phone and the problem is when I try to watch something when streaming.
I have a Bose Soundlink Color II and a Mini Soundlink.
Does anyone else have this kind of issue. I'm not sure if this is an IOS bug or something with my wifi.
Any help would be appreciated. Many, many thanks.
Jason
