Hi Mandy
To be honest, I relly don't think you are missing a great through not using the
Notes Syncing facility. However, if you can get to the Mystic Access website,
there is a free audio tutorial which describes the function. The instructor
herself uses a Gmail account. cht this point, I should say that I have managed
to sync notes with my Gmail account. However, I have found it of limited
usefulness. I have also never had emails containing any notes I have synced.

Hi John.
I only want to use the Brailliant with my iPhone, not with the PC but I just
can’t get to grips with this notes sync thing.
I am using gmail, the only account I now have, and I am unsure
Exactly the purpose of syncing the notes.
I also couldn’t find that tutorial from that website – I fear my computer
skills are suffering from lack uf use as I more often now use the phone.
Any explanations would be good if you can help.
Mandy.

Hi there
I just received my bi 14 this morning and this afternoon I have connected it to
my pc and iphone.
I have the very good tutorial from mystick access and I would say download this
tutorial and follow it it’s great.
It took ages for me to connect with jaws and nvda but it now works
To sync notes you must set up your gmail account from the brailiant sync app on
your iphone. If you have not got it download it from the app store.
I have tried to download the software so I can install the latest firmware but
it says my bi is not connected so I am stuck with this one.
Later on I will try and see how to do this if anyone has any ideas that will be
real helpful.
I must read up how to use it when connected to my pc though.
So, after tea time it’s connecting to my pixel 3a and then l ooking at google
docks. But how do you updrade the software.

Hi All.
I really like the Brailliantbut still can’t work out the notes function since
Jackie says her notes appear in emails, when I have spoken to someone from
Humanware they say this doesn’t happen so how can that be?
Obviously Jackie is n ot lying or misrepresenting anything: so what exactly is
the function of syncing notes: mine seem also to appear in grade one Braille I
am confused: please tell me again what exactly what should happen?
I am sorry to return to this topic again.
Mandy.

If you put a note in your Gmail folder on the Brailliant, It will appear in the
Gmail folder in your notes app. I haven't discovered away yet of viewing Gmail
notes on my PC.
If you want to find out probably all there is to know about the Brailliant
BI14, I recommend the tutorials from the Mystic Access website. They are
produced in conjunction with Humanware and are free. The website is
www.mysticaccess.com and you'll find the tutorials in the Free Downloads
section under Humanware Products.
I would certainly recommend the BI14 as a device which works very well as both
an input and output device.

Hi Ian,
Many thanks for that unfortunately, the focus ones are too much just for a
back up and as I have asked for this as a Christmas present from my family
it's a bit tricky.
Now Does anyone else know the answer to my notes synk question about
accessing the notes in Gmail on the PC once they have been synked using the
IOS app? Also someone said you need drivers for JFW but then someone else at
humanware said it's just selecting the bi14 from JFW list of braille displays.
Please may someone confirm whether I need the drivers or not. Also can I type
in UEB by default as this is my prefered Braille code and are the menus shown
in UEB too.
Many thanks
Chantal
PS
As I have Gmail turned on in the notes app does this mean that each time a
note would synk to the notes app from BI 14 it would show up in Gmail anyway
I did have a go at testing this on the IOS notes app with my Apex and it did
work but as I haven't got a BI 14 I can't check it would work in the default
notes app on there.
