    Hi there @just4once unfortunately I'm not familiar with apple programming myself, so I'll do my best to help.

    You've mentioned using computers, would you be able to access a computer at your local library to get everything together? 

    When you say you 'need to be able to talk', do you mean voice controls? :)

    Yes me talking I am thinking like dictating or something like that I can not use a public computer due to legal issues of the court case for disability discrimination

    Hello @just4once

    I'm glad with the support of your superhero daughters you got through the technical difficulties and emotional stress  <3

    We wish you well with the court hearing, to take a stand against discrimination is very admirable and will no doubt benefit others who go after you - thank you for doing this and remember to go easy on yourself.
