Mystic Access Podcast

This episode turned out to be our food edition, and we have three fun food-related demos to share later in the podcast, so stay tuned.

First, it’s that time of year again… yes, Black Friday is almost here! As usual, we’ll have amazing deals on almost everything we offer at Mystic Access. Most tutorials, one-on-one sessions and hardware will be deeply discounted, ranging from ten to thirty percent off the regular prices. No codes will be necessary. The crazy deals begin Thanksgiving morning at midnight eastern time. That’s Thursday, November 22, 2018 just as the day begins. We’ll be sending further details to our newsletter and events mailing lists, as well as sharing on our News page.

To celebrate another great year with all of you, we’re throwing an after Thanksgiving party on Friday, November 23, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM eastern time. While we can’t offer you leftovers, we can supply answers to your product questions, talk about the cool tech you’re hoping will land in your stocking this year, and otherwise share in cozy conversation with you. Come sit by our virtual fireside and get to know us better. We’d love for you to visit during our open house event.

We received new Braille Me units at Mystic Access, and are happy to report that they have undergone significant changes from the units we discussed in our May class. This class has been removed from the Free Downloads area, as the information no longer reflects the current status of the Braille Me.

Mystic Access is producing a tutorial on the Braille Me, which will be available for preorder in the near future. In the meantime, if you want to learn more, you can visit National Braille Press, the US reseller of Braille Me.

We have two iOS modules to close out 2018. Editing text and braille screen input are the two remaining topics, and we will have six completely new modules starting in January.

Recently, Chris conducted a class on backing up your important data. You can get this from our Free Downloads page.

Just a reminder that while the Braille Me tutorial will be available soon, you can purchase the Orbit Reader 20 Tutorial by visiting our website or giving us a call.

This episode is filled with timely treats… and hopefully no tricks. Although we hope you enjoyed the spooky beginning. *smile*
