Hi John
I have tried without success to pair. I don't even see it on my phone to pair
with! I am obviously doing something wrong, or in the wrong sequence, but I
will contact the guys tomorrow as well to find out what steps I can take to
pair correctly.
The Reader doesn't work for me. I have documents to try that work with my
iPhone, but not on the Touch at all. In fact, a few times, it has crashed and
brought up the usual choices of Wait, Report or Close. I find this on so many
apps to be honest that it itn't a viable tablet for so many things. I like the
KeySoft applications, the Braille display, and Email. But Twitter, Facebook
and other stuff is so sluggish that it crashes. I'm trying to be positive, but
I'm also very concerned! I know it is early days in this update, and I am
prepared to accept I may be doing something with pairing in the wrong order.
But it is testing my patience, there is no doubt about that.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

hi jackie well whatever i do will not work i just wonder which version ian
and terry have on their i devices. so just to confirm i did go in to the
quick settings and it said bluetooth off even though when you go in braille
terminal it should switch it on. then from the braille terminal i select
bluetooth then on the iphone vsettings general voice over braille then it
sees the braille note touch as brailliant so i hit the pair button on the
iphone and it asks on the touch if the code equals the same press pair so i
do that and whatever i do it just will not connect at all so i will have to
become a tester for humanware i think.
as ian says though with the third party apps it keeps saying web view.
now with the knfb reader you must get the camera just right that's the
distance between the touch and the print that you're scanning. it works a
treat for me.
so if i use my tablet it should work as a braille display as well should it
not.
anyway i will not clog the list up with braille note touch difficulties.
just to say though it's rather anoying after all the waiting for an update to
find the most important thing will not work for me. will have a try tomorrow.
still recovering after my big draw in my chess last saturday. i will ring
humanware tomorrow just in case i've missed something.

I just can't get it to pair, it surely can't be that difficult? I ensure
Bluetooth is on, choose Bluetooth in Braille Terminal, and then go to
Braille on my iPhone. But searching is dimmed, and there is no sign of it.
And I don't get anything out of K-NFB reader either, not a scratch. Yet
my phone version works fine. Very strange!
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Ditto on the iPhone connection and haven't yet tried the KNFB. Keeping
that treat for the morning. I'm increasingly disillusioned with this
product which keeps promising so much but delivers so little.

Hi John
I have just tried it and cannot connect either. I also can't get
anything out of K-NFB Reader which is also worrying. I don't know what
to make of all this!
Kind regards,
