Hi Jackie.

What was the dictionary and thesaurus you bought? I could use one of those on my IPhone, Ditto Tune in radio, its brilliant.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [access-uk] Four apps for iPod Touch/iPhone to recommend


My Apple keyboard arrived yesterday, and pairing it with my iPod Touch was
extremely straightforward. So I decided to visit the App Store and, for 59p
each, I bought four applications that work with VoiceOver.  They are the
World Fact Book 2011, a dictionary and thesaurus, Tune In Radio and,
probably my favourite, Birds of Britain.  The latter is an amazing little
program if you love bird sound and details. Not only can you play the song, but you can listen to VoiceOver provide a description of their size, colour,
family, time of year etc.  There is also a favourites button to use where
you can add a library of your favourite birds to it.

Tune In Radio is great.  Similarly, there is a bookmark facility where you
can make a list of the stations you wish to add. Because I love tennis, and the Australian Open is on at the moment, I have great difficulty getting it on DAB as we have such a diabolical signal in these parts. So when I tuned
in using the Sonata at 8.00 this morning, a message said that restricted
rights prevented coverage.  I find this often happens at weekends when
football matches are in progress too.  So I tuned my iPod to Sports Extra
and, low and behold, got the tennis on live.

All the above apps work with VoiceOver.  I don't use my keyboard for
everything, mainly when I get into tricky areas that need a bit of typing.
Mostly, I use my fingers and have got used to doing so now.

Just thought I'd pass on the info.

Kind Regards,
