Hi Jackie no I haven't tried knfb reader on the screen one reason being I
don't know where they are so I just hope they come and get me like you do.
Have you found and tried the braille display whose name I can't remember at
the moment that the rnib were supposed to be selling in October? If so is
it any good for what you pay and how much is it. Janet

I don't enjoy using GPS, so none of them do it for me particularly. But
£495 is a bit excessive!
I am very lucky John in that when I need to visit our surgery, one of the
girls keeps an eye out for my name going up, and the GP always comes out
anyway to get me. Similarly, at the hospital, they look after me too, but I
know this isn't the case for everybody. Has anyone tried K-NFB Reader on
the screen in that scenario?
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

hi jackie well as i said on my last email humanware say it's got to be a new
device at #495. i must say i've just upgraded to my new i phone se and the
satnav on their which ever i use is so so much faster and better than the
trekker and #495 what.
again i must say steve nut's voice rings in my ears stick to main stream.
i went on my braille note touch yesterday and tried amazon music no joy at
all just web view web view. i think to be very truthfull unlless companies
for the blind can keep up somehow the main stream route is the way to go.
this morning i had to go to pindafields hospital this morning for a pre opp
appointment and it was just no go for me. i got the people at the desk to
put my details in then i was waiting for my name to come up on a screen.
it never did for forty minutes so i went back and it had not gone in. again
i was told to watch the screen. well i will not bore the list with this any
more but after all the work done by the fand hear in leeds it's very sad to
see it all going backwards for blind people. i wonder if there's a way to
actually access these screens. sorry to bore you all with this.
