Wow John, this is really good news. So tell me exactly how this assists, I mean, when navigating on screens, rather than just reading text.

Subject: [access-uk] iphone as a braille display and a
speech difficulty

hi sorry to reply this way but using the braille sense
plus. i am so pleased to say i can connect my apex to the
iphone as a braille display. did not think this would
work but it does. i cannot seem to do it with the  sense
though. now to my other difficulty. i have a new 64 bit
laptop an hp pavilion dv 7 3105 ae or something like.
this machine arrived last friday and i am waiting for my
window eyes disk for it. you need a diferent window eyes
disk with the 64 bit windows 7 machine. i have system
access on my netbook so if i get sighted help i could use
the new machine if it can be connected to my router.  but
wonder if i can use system acces by downloading it on to
the new machine until my window eyes disk comes to me.
now how good is the narator on windows 7 would that get
me along until window eyes. now my last one here sorry
about the long email is. i had a big difficulty that i
could not download the most up to date iphone software. i
got a message. internet time out. wh at i did to resolve
this problem was to disable nod 32. not surely somewhere
in nod 32 there must be a way to set a rule about itunes.
any help will be truly apreciated. many thanks.

Hi Derek

Many moons ago, there used to be something you could
purchase from RNIB called Freeze Alert.  You tied it to
the inside of your freezer, say on a shelf or something,
and it certainly bleeped if you left the door open when
it detected an increase in temperature.  It was pretty
loud and aggravating when you were packing shopping
away, for example, but it was a useful gadget.  I don't
think such a device exists any more from RNIB though.

Similarly, there used to be a Rain Alert device from
RNIB that you hooked up to a sill with an outdoor
sensor.  I found this a brilliant gadget for alerting me
to rain if my son was playing outside as a child as he
liked playing in the rain if he got the opportunity,
(smile).  It was really useful for knowing when to bring
in the washing too.  I wish we could have this gadget
back again! I remember that the window-cleaner who did
his round at that time used to tease the life out of the
Rain Alert by splashing it so that I'd go outside to
find out what the weather was up to.


Kind Regards,

Hi  all
Does  anyone know if there  is  such product that would
Alert  one if  say the freezer went off.

I was  thinking it might work like this.
Plug  the alarm into wall  socket, and the freezer into
the Alarm.  If the freezer fails, the alarm would  sound.

Regards,  Derek
