Treaty for the blind - off topic, but very important
Dear All I know the treaty for the blind is a bit off topic, but it is a legal mechanism that has the potential to change our lives as much or more than the accessibility of the iPhone. Below I repost a recent press statement from the World Blind Union. My understanding from people working on this is that the U.S., under pressure from big publishers are now trying to water down/derail the treaty. Please take the time to familiarise yourself with the issue. The treaty could be revolutionary for millions of blind people – especially those who do not live in rich countries. Thank you Marcus *WORLD BLIND UNION (WBU) press release 18 December 2012* *Press Release – WIPO Negotiations Treaty for Blind people* *WIPO member states call for treaty for blind people to be finished in 2013* *Geneva, 18.12.2012 - UN negotiation on groundbreaking World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) treaty for blind people looks set to end in 2013 * * * After more than four years of intensive negotiations, WIPO member states today made the ground-breaking decision to convene a diplomatic conference to conclude a treaty for visually impaired and print disabled people in June 2013. There are some 285 million blind and partially sighted people in the world. Like everyone else, blind people need books they can read for education, pleasure and inclusion in society. They want to read the same books as others, from Harry Potter to legal manuals, but to do so they need those books converted into “accessible formats” such as audio, braille or large print. The problem is, most books published are never produced in these formats, and the some 1-7% which are available are produced by small charities. Furthermore, in many countries copyright law prevents these organisations from making accessible copies of the books, and from sending them to others in countries speaking the same language, thereby maximising their small resources. The WIPO treaty sought by the World Blind Union would remove these copyright barriers and open up a new world of reading to blind people. The one significant negotiating party still to have failed to formally back a treaty in the negotiations, the USA, stated at the EGA that it supported a diplomatic conference in 2013 to produce a “legally-binding agreement”. Though WBU would prefer to hear the word “treaty”, we note that a treaty is a “legally binding agreement” and trust that the USA will work to agree a treaty in 2013. Maryanne Diamond, leader of the WBU right to read campaign, commented: “The decision of the WIPO Extraordinary General Assembly today is a very significant milestone on the road to a treaty. It means governments have kept the work on track to agree a binding and effective treaty in 2013, which if completed would allow blind people to access many thousands more books. The work is far from over, though. We urge all parties to now negotiate a simple, binding and effective treaty. A good treaty will really help us to end the book famine in which only some one to seven percent of books are ever made accessible to us.” Rahul Cherian, from Indian WBU member Inclusive Planet, said: “The objective of this treaty must be that of helping blind and print disabled people to get accessible format books, especially in developing countries. To achieve this goal, it must be workable and simply worded so that blind and print disabled people and their organisations can use it to really make a difference. *Background* * * *An end to the “book famine”* Even in 2012, blind people and others living with a print disability such as those with dyslexia still have very limited access to books. Only some 7% of published books are ever made accessible (in formats such as Braille, audio and large print) in the richest countries, and less than 1% in poorer ones. This is a “book famine”. * * *An international treaty for blind people* * * The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) makes treaties and other international laws on copyright Back in 2009 the World Blind Union, Brazil, Ecuador and Paraguay proposed a WIPO treaty to help relieve the book famine in which fewer than 1% of books are published accessibly in developing countries, and only some 7% in the most developed. Briefly, the new treaty would: Allow specialist organisations to make accessible copies of books in all signatory countries Make it legal to send accessible books across national borders Still respect copyright law: it is not an attack on publishers! Make more books available for blind people * * *About WBU* * * The World Blind Union (WBU) is the internationally recognized organization, representing the 285 million blind and partially sighted persons in 190 member countries. We are the Voice of the Blind, speaking to governments and international bodies on issues concerning
Re: hearing aids and iPhone
Hi, I have my aiids connected to my phone at all times when I am wearing them. You can turn off the aids if you wish somebody else to hear the phone I do this when talking with my kids on speaker phone so my wife can hear.

17.2 and recognising music
Hi all, since installing 17.2 Siri and Shazam will not recognise music. Siri says try again later and Shazam appears to do nothing. I am using a 13 Pro. I have a friend who has a iPhone SE who is having the same problem. My wife who doesn’t use VO has not trouble with her 14 Pro it works perfectly. I have turned off the bluetooth incase working with my hearing aids was causing this with no change. I wonder if VO is the problem. Anybody else seeing this? Thanks for any ideas.

Hearing aids and HomePods
Hi all, yesterday being Christmas day here we wanted to listen to some Christmas music from a radio station on our HomePods using my iPhone. I held my phone near the HomePods to transfer the program to them. This would not work I felt the vibration that normally indicates the transfer process should occur. So no music! Thismorning Tuesday I thought I would try again. However I had not turned on my hearing aids before trying connect the phone and the HomePods. All worked as you would expect. So it appears that I can’t play music from my phone if I have already turned on my hearing aids. I do have the aids connected to the phone via bluetooth. It was my understanding that aids connected on a different frequency to normal bluetooth. Could others try and replicate this and let us know there findings before I contact Disability support. Thanks for any ideas. Max. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

BuzzMem - Memory Game with Vibrations
I have created an iPhone game for a blind friend. The whole idea was to make a game to make players with and without vision equal. Not a just a game that can be played by visually impaired people too. The game is a memory game based on vibration patterns. It fully supports VoiceOver. You can download the game in the App Store https://itunes.apple.com/app/buzzmem/id579628791 or read more about the creation process on my blog http://www.mczonk.de/2012/12/buzzmem/ . I hope you like it. Please provide feedback what I could improve. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: BuzzMem - Memory Game with Vibrations
It is nice that all of you like the game. It is called BuzzMem without any whitespace in between. You can find it on the iTunes store https://itunes.apple.com/app/buzzmem/id579628791 If you have any suggestions how to improve the voice over support please don't hesitate to answer. As a gift here are three download codes for the game. First come, first serve. BuzzMem Download Codes: E7XWW3KF44KK 97LLRL9THFYP F9NKFFXHA3L3 The Game Center button is only enabled if you have a Game Center account. You can set it up in the Game Center app to compare scores with your friends. The FaceBook and Twitter button are totally optional and you have full control about what you will post. There is no automatic posting. Right now the version 1.1 is in review. It will bring German localization. I will try to support more languages in the future. But it is hard to find someone to make a good translation for the Voice Over part. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

iPhone Memory Game with full accessibility.
I have created a memory game for iPhone which is full accessibly. Instead of images you need to memorize vibration patterns. It only works iPhone because the other iOS Devices don't have vibration. It is not the first time that I work on an accessibly app but I would like to improve the accessibility. So I'm looking for 3 or 4 people that would like to test and improve the game.
