Hi,
To be fair though, it sounds like it's Apple's fault, not Humanware's.
Familiar story that.
All the best
Steve

Hi George
The problem is, they stopped what did work, and now we seem to have a
new way that has problems!
So not much further forward.
Regards, Derek

Hi George
Humanware say:
"The product you refer to is an App that has been developed on our behalf,
and available on the app store to download on to an IOS device, that's to
say specifically an Apple iPhone or Apple iPad which a sighted person uses
to type on. It is another method of face-to-face communication.
However
it has been brought to our attention that since a recent IOS update the app
is not working as smoothly as we would like and we are now dependent on the
third party app developer making some improvements or we will be faced with
having to remove it from the app store.
These discussions are on-going and I will try and get an update as soon s
possible."

Hi Derek,
You can play this a number of ways.
You can e-mail their head office, and simply say that you have seen it on
their web page at [URL] and ask if it is still available. That would be my
own first choice.
Or, you could say that as you have been told by a member of the UK staff
that it is no longer available, and as it is on their web page at [URl],
does this mean it is not being sold in the UK, or what?
George.

Hi George
What I said in first email on this thread, is what I was told, by the UK
General manager.
I quote:
"Regarding the DBC, as we are unable to source the component parts anymore,
very reluctantly we have had to recently discontinue the DBC."
Regartds, Derek

Derek,
Why not e-mail the Humanware address given in that web page
(info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) and ask them?
George.

Strangely this link

ions/apex_communicator_package
Seems to be what I was looking for.
Strange that Humanware told me not available.

The General manager UK, Human ware, just made me aware
that as Humanware unable to source the component parts anymore,
very reluctantly they have had to recently discontinue the DBC.
So what is or was DBC?
The package consisted of a Braille note, a mobile phone and key chat
software, on the Braille note.
The benefits for deafblind Braille users were:
Use Braille for the sending and receiving of text messages.
using the mobile phone, the deafblind user was able to communicate with
hearing people face to face.
The hearing person uses the mobile phone and the deafblind person would
read, (on Braille note) what the hearing person types in, on the mobile.
As this is not texting, no text allowance is used. So the deafblind
person doesn't need to give out his or her number, for face to face
chat.
