IOS 7

I am back and this will be a short post. I know that I am talking about the computer, but I am going to divert from that a bit and talk about the new operating system on the iPhone and iPad.

So I have not done anything with it yet, but after this I am going to. As of right now, I can say that with what little vision I have it looks nice. I also really like the male siri voice. It does seem to make the app icons larger so instead of 4 on a line in a folder, there is only 3. Like I said I am going to go play around with it now. I will be back next week. Later.

Mail and Voiceover

I am back with more insight for all you guys. So today I want to talk about mail and voiceover. VO stands for voiceover in case anyone forgot.

First let me talk about the mailboxes. To enter the mailbox area, press the VO keys, shift, and the down arrow key. To enter any of the areas, this is what you do. Once in mailboxes, press the down arrow key to scroll to whatever mailbox that is needed. Once on it press the VO keys, shift, and the up arrow key. Not only is this the exact opposite of what is done to interact with things, it also stops the interaction.

Once a mailbox is selected use the right arrow to scroll to messages. interact with the messages and scroll with the down or up arrows to get to the message you want. Select the message and if you want to get rid of it, press the delete key which is located in the upper right corner of the keyboard. That is on a laptop computer, which is what I have.

Once a message is selected, scroll right to the message content area. Interact with with that then interact with that again and scroll to the right until you hear text, then interact with that.

Be careful though if there is more then one message in the thread, make sure you are over the address you want, then interact with it like I had said.

Do this repeatedly until you have gotten rid of or until all is checked.

Now I won't be able to blog next week. I might be able to figure out how to set this up to post the blog automatically. If not I will blog the following week. Later.
