When I had my android phone, I was able to simply copy music from my computer to the device and I was done. Now I have to go through iTunes apparently, and so far it's a nightmare. I've installed blind tunes, hoping that would make things easier, and I've read through all the guides multiple times. Frankly, the guides for blind tunes suck, and assume a level of understanding of the way it works that the new user simply does not possess. I've imported several folders of music into iTunes, and somehow was able to sync the music to my iPhone, but I'm frankly not sure how I did it, it only copied the music over after over an hour of trial and error, and I cannot replicate what I did. It seems it would be an easy thing to select an album, or create a playlist and copy it over, especially with scripts built specifically for this, but I must be missing the boat entirely somewhere. Are any of you using blind tunes out there, or are you able to use iTunes without the scripts for jaws? If so, any tips would be greatly appreciated, or any links to where I can get more info. I do not mind doing research, and I'm very computer literate, but this one has been a frustrating experience so far. I've got the latest version of iTunes running on a PC and jaws 13.

RE: Running the iTunes maze with jaws
Che, If you take the folder out of the auto sync folder, it will take it away from your phone when you do your next sync. The way that Tracy and I do our music is to each have a playlist of our own. To add to the playlist, use the application key and arrow up, find add to playlist, and find your playlist. Then you can sync the playlists you want. So on the iPad, we can have both playlists, and on each of our phone, have our own playlist. If we add or remove songs from our playlist, it will update the device on mext sync.

Take care, Thom -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Che Martin Sent: Friday, October 19, 2012 6:19 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Running the iTunes maze with jaws Hi all, I've recently picked up a couple of apple devices for the first time, the iPad3 and iPhone 5,and although I'm mostly very impressed with the abilities of both devices with regards to accessibility, iTunes has got me stumped. When I had my android phone, I was able to simply copy music from my computer to the device and I was done. Now I have to go through iTunes apparently, and so far it's a nightmare. I've installed blind tunes, hoping that would make things easier, and I've read through all the guides multiple times. Frankly, the guides for blind tunes suck, and assume a level of understanding of the way it works that the new user simply does not possess. I've imported several folders of music into iTunes, and somehow was able to sync the music to my iPhone, but I'm frankly not sure how I did it, it only copied the music over after over an hour of trial and error, and I cannot replicate what I did. It seems it would be an easy thing to select an album, or create a playlist and copy it over, especially with scripts built specifically for this, but I must be missing the boat entirely somewhere. Are any of you using blind tunes out there, or are you able to use iTunes without the scripts for jaws? If so, any tips would be greatly appreciated, or any links to where I can get more info. I do not mind doing research, and I'm very computer literate, but this one has been a frustrating experience so far. I've got the latest version of iTunes running on a PC and jaws 13. Any help much appreciated. Thanks, Che -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.

RE: VoiceOver Volume During Phone Call
Hi Arnold, Most people have the opposite problem which means you can hear Voiceover just fine during a call when you use the headset and very poorly without when the call is on speakerphone. I don't think it will be hard to raise Voiceover volume when using the headset, keep in mind that the iPhone remembers volume settings with the headphone separately from those on speaker. First you should add volume to the rotor. Do this by going to "Settings", "General", "Accessibility", "Voiceover" and "Rotor Settings". Find volume and double tap it so it says "Selected", then exit the settings. Now when you are on a call to an automated system, wait until the call connects, then turn the rotor to Volume and do a single finger flick up several times until Voiceover volume is where you want it. Don't forget to turn the rotor back to Characters or Words so you don't accidently change the volume again, as long as you do that the volume should stay at the level you set. Let me know if you need help with the rotor, in order to move to different rotor settings you put 2 fingers on the screen maybe an inch or so apart and then make a turning motion like if you were grabbing the head of a screw and you were screwing it in. You can do this either clockwise or counter clockwise. Good luck, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Arnold Schmidt Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 3:50 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: VoiceOver Volume During Phone Call I got my IPhone 5 last Sunday, and let us say, I know more about it than I did, but have a lot more to go. Thanks to Anna Dresner and Dean Martineau's book, this list, and other tutorials, I will learn it. My first question: When I call one of these automated services where I have to press a given number for a given result, VoiceOver volume drops off to almost nothing. It is better on the speaker phone than on the earbuds, where I barely can tell it is saying anything as I slide my finger around the screen, trying to find that number. I can hear it better when the automated system stops talking, but I then have very little time to do anything before it disconnects. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

RE: How do I access my favorites in the contacts list
Hi Hope, Favourites are only in the Phone app, it's a feature of the Phone app so to speak that you can designate certain contacts as Favourites, but there is no Favourite group in the Contacts app. Not a bad idea actually although you could just go into the Phone app, I have the Favourites tab selected as my default so it always goes into that when I first go into the Phone app and if I want to get information like address or an email I just tap on the More button to the right of each Favourite.

Re: app for accessing IE favourites saved on PC?
Yes, it is called iTunes and it runs on a computer. With it, you can set up syncing of your favourites, contacts, calendar appointments, notes, and even back up your entire iPhone. You can also set up most of this syncing through Apple's iCloud, or even Google. Some people say unfortunately we really need to use iTunes. I personally say fortunately we can accomplish everything through iTunes, so once we learn it, it works fine. Much better, in fact, than the Nokia Suite with the Nokia phones, which became unusable as time continued. ITunes, on the other hand, has become more accessible over time.

Re: Reading Bookshare books
Whether one voice is better, worse, or the same as another voice is completely subjective, so not worth even taking the time to post an answer about. Do you like the voice on the iPhone? If so, it is possible to set Read2Go to use VO to read your books. If not, Read2Go has two voices, a male and a female, which you can try.

Re: Reading Bookshare books
Yes, if you like the Acapella voices it is certainly better. Or,you can use VoiceOverto read but that presents some other issues. The Acapella voices that come with the Read2Go app will read continuously if you want them to, which is great. If you turn them off and use VoiceOver, itwill only read to the end of a given section. A sectionmight be as little as a page, or the entire book; it depends on how the book is setup. In either case, in my opinion, anything is better than the Victor Reader voice for Bookshare books.

iPod Touch 5TH Generation battery issue
I have had the iPod Touch 5TH Generation for 4 days now. I charged it to a full charge and then used it for close to 7 hours when it got to 12 percent, it shut itself down. I spoke with Apple and they had me reset all settings. I brought it to a full charge again, and once again when it got to 12 percent battery left, it shut itself down again. I don't know if VO is misreporting the battery lifeor what. Any other touch 5th Gen users having any similar experience?

Starting to stray from iOS - Was Re: Buying books from Audible.
Just a friendly reminder that the Audible topic, while interesting, is straying from iOS discussions. It's ok to talk about the Audible app and how to transfer audible content to and from your iOS device, but it's off topic to keep going on about their pricing plans, what's good and not good, what's better and what's not.

RE: new color visor app, and, IOS6 sluggish
Hi Kerri, I don't know anything about color visor, but I'd say that iOS 6 sluggishness on the 3G S is due to the limited ram and processing power that phone has, compared to the newer models. Someone in the family has a 3G S as well, and I've used VoiceOver on it, and it's just as sluggish as you described. I'm not really sure there's anything you can do to rectify it, since it seems to be hardware problems. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kerri Stovall Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 12:54 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: new color visor app, and, IOS6 sluggish Hi listers, I'm a new member and just had a quick question about the ColorVisor app. I have an iPhone 3GS, by the way.

Ok, thanks guys very much for the input. Regarding the iTunes automatically sync folder, that is very interesting. If I copy a folder of music to that folder, then sync to my iPhone, can I then remove the folder from the auto sync folder without it being removed from the phone? I will listen to the FS podcasts and give it another crack. Thanks for the offer Tom, might take you up on that if I can't get my mushy brain to absorb the instructions.

When I had my android phone, I was able to simply copy music from my computer to the device and I was done. Now I have to go through iTunes apparently, and so far it's a nightmare. I've installed blind tunes, hoping that would make things easier, and I've read through all the guides multiple times. Frankly, the guides for blind tunes suck, and assume a level of understanding of the way it works that the new user simply does not possess. I've imported several folders of music into iTunes, and somehow was able to sync the music to my iPhone, but I'm frankly not sure how I did it, it only copied the music over after over an hour of trial and error, and I cannot replicate what I did. It seems it would be an easy thing to select an album, or create a playlist and copy it over, especially with scripts built specifically for this, but I must be missing the boat entirely somewhere. Are any of you using blind tunes out there, or are you able to use iTunes without the scripts for jaws? If so, any tips would be greatly appreciated, or any links to where I can get more info. I do not mind doing research, and I'm very computer literate, but this one has been a frustrating experience so far. I've got the latest version of iTunes running on a PC and jaws 13.

VoiceOver Volume During Phone Call
I got my IPhone 5 last Sunday, and let us say, I know more about it than I did, but have a lot more to go. Thanks to Anna Dresner and Dean Martineau's book, this list, and other tutorials, I will learn it. My first question: When I call one of these automated services where I have to press a given number for a given result, VoiceOver volume drops off to almost nothing. It is better on the speaker phone than on the earbuds, where I barely can tell it is saying anything as I slide my finger around the screen, trying to find that number. I can hear it better when the automated system stops talking, but I then have very little time to do anything before it disconnects. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Re: My thoughts on Siri and the iPhone 5
Hi, it gets it from the local weather app which comes on the iPhone. I think the app gets it from Yahoo weather if I remember right.

Re: bluetooth speakers for Iphone
The Bigr Jambox by Jawbone is better than the Bose, I have both. The Bose has slightly better bass, but you can adjust the iPhone equalizer if you want to mimick that on the Bigger Jambox. Ease of use in terms of pairing, knowing remaining battery life, the ability to answer phone calls on the Jambox, the ability to skip back and forward through music are all features available on the Jambox that the Bose SoundLink cannot duplicate. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Verizon Unlimited Calling and Shared Data
I called Verizon today just to evaluate my plan. They told me I could switch my three lines to a plan with unlimited calling and 6 GB of shared data. Doing so was $188 per month, $10 less than what I have been paying. I hope this wasn't just a case of a rep not knowing what she was doing, but it seems like a very good deal. Also, you know longer will half to pay separate for hotspot, although hotspot data comes out of your total six Gigabytes.

Re: Buying books from Audible.
Hello Sieghard Before, when I first bought the Audible App, it didn't matter what quality the files were be it enhanced or standard, the books were played in mono. This was very noticable when you downloaded a drama and all you got mono recordings. I don't know if you like the Trials ofDoctor Crippin or any other trial in that series, but I called customer care and asked them to get the files in stereo. So now we have everything in stereo. As for signing up again and again, you use the same e-mail address as many times as you like a long with the same password. Kawal.

RE: question about the lg hbs730 bluetooth headset.
For what it's worth, I just went in to Amazon to purchase either the 730's or the 700's.

Other than that the rest of ours seem to work well. I've never had people tell me they can't hear me and I can usually hear them.

Re: Buying books from Audible.
I really like the Audible memberships too. I am on the platnum monthly, which is enough for me. Paying $22.95 monthly is more economical than paying $200+ annually. Besides, if I got 12 or 24 credits all at once, then I would likely burn through them quickly and then be forced to pay another $200 or wait 6 or 12 months for the next batch of credits. I can't afford to pay $200 each time I want 12 credits, even if it is a good deal. Guess that's why they have different options for different folks. The other part of this is I have many books on my phone that I bought from Audible, started or haven't started, and are just sitting there now. Audible is great about offering frequent sales, buy 3 credits for $34, or other promotions. I saw one several months ago where you could get 2 books for the price of 1, which was a great deal. The books came from a selection of about 100 books, but still.

Notes question
Hello, After upgrading to 6.0 I have been having an issue when writing in the Notes Application. Usually starting around page 10 or so, I get an issue that Voice Over is still saying the characters I have typed, catching up to where I had finished. When I get to page twenty or so this problem gets worse, where it takes Voice Over quite a bit longer to catch up to where I stopped typing. Has anyone else seen this issue? Any ideas on how to resolve it? Thanks, Denny -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.

To enable Siri, go to settings, general, Siri, and double tap the Siri on/off button toward the top to toggle it on or off. It should be on by default, but who knows what might have happened.

RE: Buying books from Audible.
Hi Kawal, You used to buy books directly from the app, but Apple has made that impossible. I guess it could still be possible if Audible which of course means Amazon were to agree to pay Apple their percentage whatever that is for every book purchased through the app. By the way, what do you mean "it's in stereo now"? You still have to set your audio book quality in your preference, 1 through 4 and Enhanced. I personally prefer 4 as it is vey good yet the files are much smaller than with enhanced. I know you can cancel your membership and sign up again and you can also sign up with multiple emails so you get your first free book, but I personally don't want to have to manage multiple Audible accounts and I use it constantly so this is not for me. I haven't looked at the membership options so until now I wasn't aware that you could prepay the Gold or Platinum membership for the year and save a bit of money. When you mentioned you bought 12 credits I thought it was some other promotion or deal and not just the prepaid Gold membership. I will definitely switch to a prepaid annual membership as well, but right now I have 12 books in my library I haven't read yet from their last big $4.95 sale, so once I need more books I'll go ahead and buy the 24 credits.

Hi Raul, I also run the app you mentioned and yes, it works. VOCwKeyer anyway has special commands specifically designed for VoiceOver users that Morse2Text doesn't have. For example, by typing the morse code for letters "VO" without separation time, as: "...", VO will read all the inserted text. By typing the command "SMS" without separations, the app will copy the inserted text and send it to the SMS app, or, throw the ML command, to the Mail App. By typing the commands QRQ and QRS, without separations, you can change the speed on the flight. By typing a serie of 8 dots, or a couple of letter "H" without separation in between them, you may erase the last entered word. More over, you will have complete control over the character separator time and word separator time and you can use speeds up to 45 Word Per Minute. We sent the app to the store almost a week ago and we hope it will be out soon. Enjoy, if you like. Gabriel. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.

Re: question about the lg hbs730 bluetooth headset.
Raul, Please see my other email. I can't speak for the 730's but I have had a 700 for nearly a year, as has my fiance, and a bunch of friends. None of us has has a problem with ours (OK one of my fiance's earbuds stopped working, but he could have done that himself, as he never seems to keep the buds in the magnetic holders). Other than that the rest of ours seem to work well. I've never had people tell me they can't hear me and I can usually hear them. Now, I will say the bluetooth picks up noise around the user -- for example if my fiance is on the bus, I can here others like they are right on top of him!

Re: bluetooth headphones/earbuds
I have the LG HBS700 but there is a new version out the HBS 730. I've never had a problem with the HBS700 as no one has complained I didn't sound good on them while talking to them on the phone. I find them comfortable and can wear them for hours. Music is OK as well, I realize not as good as a more expensive headset, but better than the el cheap-o ones at the Dollar Store. Now I've had no problems with dropped calls, of course if you get too far you can hear static. I've read the reviews of the 730 and I'm interested, as they supposedly have a better sound both on calls & while listening to music. However, there seems to be a decrease in the bluetooth, where even sometimes if a phone is in a pocket or behind the user, they claim they drop the call. They seem to be a fairly new product, so maybe I'll get them to compair, my 700's still work pretty well, but my fiance needs a new bluetooth as one of his ear buds no longer works. I'll have to think if I'll get 2 sets. does anyone on list have the 730's? Feedback would be excellent.

Re: Mac verses Ipad
Hi Tim, The Mac mini came with the VGA adaptor, which I didn't know at the time, so I bought one at the Apple store. I think it was $30.

Re: Mac verses Ipad
I remember having no access to computers at all. My first acquaintance with a computer was using word star as there was no jaws etc. When I first started working, I had to use word perfect 5.1 before I got to use jaws 2.2 or whatever it was. I grew up at school with no computers, just a perkins braille machine and an electric typewriter. Just for the record, I think I'm very lucky to have access to any kind of access technology as there are many people in the developing world who have no such thing. I am entitled to my opinions although they come over strong but I don't mean them too hence they can be interpreted the wrong way. I apologise if people have thought I have been unfair.

Re: Buying books from Audible.
Another trick you can do as I've done this often in the past as I've been a member since 2010, is buy some credits, cancel your membership immediately. Then two minutes, rejoin and you get another load of credits. You can do this as often as you like as it's not against their policy.

Re: My thoughts on Siri and the iPhone 5
Hi, I'm a very new iPhone user and I have to admit that this iPhone 5 with Siri is terrific. Only thing, I'm being told Siri isn't available. I have several questions: 1) What did I do to disable Siri? 2) How do I enable Siri again? Thanks!

RE: Buying books from Audible.
Thanks, Sieghard. Such a deal I'm getting and I didn't even know it. Actually, at one point, I now recall, I did know it, but had forgotten.! I thought I was just getting the convenience of all the credits at once. Best, Keith -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 11:41 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Buying books from Audible. Hi Keith, Yes, I actually just called them and was told about buying upfront. I wasn't aware of that just as I only learned last week about their return policy. I just did the math and the 24-credit Platinum Membership paid for the year is $229.50 whereas it is $22.95 a months which works out to $275.40 a year. By paying upfront you save $45.90. The good thing is that by paying upfront I can also buy another 24 credits anytime, so if I used up my 24 credits after 4 months and am willing to pay another $229.50 I can immediately get another 24 credits where with the monthly plan you just have to wait for your next 1 or 2 credits to arrive depending on whether you have Gold or Platinum. Buying annually works out to $9.56 per credit which is not bad for a full-length audio book and I only buy unabridged novels and rarely do I buy a book that is less than 9 or 10 hours in length. Of course you still get the $4.95 promotions or by 3 books for 2 credits etc. It's actually scary how much I spend on books, I signed up for my Audible membership in March of 2010 so I have now been a member for 2 years and 7 months and when I just checked my Listener Page I realized I bought 513 books in that time with 82 this year. Only approx. 62 or 63 were from the credits I normally get which leaves approx. . 450 books I purchased either by buying the 3 credits for $34 promo or a $4.95 promo etc. Of course in the old days when we didn't have a super portable player like an iPhone or even the Stream or Booksense it was harder to listen everywhere you go. The good thing is that I don't mind listening to good books repeatedly and along with a few hundred titles I have on my computer from before I have plenty I haven't listened to in years. Of course I wish Audible offered an even better membership option to people like me who spend so much so that the price per credit/book dropped down to maybe around $6 or $7. I calculated at one point that given I spend about $11 for the credits I buy and I buy a lot on their $4.95 sales that my average price per book is about $8, so not so bad after all.

Hi Sieghard, I have a Platinum membership. I elected to pay the annual amount up-front, and they gave me the 24 credits for the year immediately.

Hi Kawal, Are you subscribed with a monthly membership? I have never seen an option to purchase 12 or 24 credits when I log in to Audible.com with my user name and password. I have the Platinum Membership which is $22.95 US a months and for that I get 2 credits which means just under $11.50 per credit and since just about all books are 1 credit it's basically $11.50 a book.The prices you mentioned for 12 or 24 credits are quite a bit lower even if I convert them to US Dollars. As a member I often get promotions where I can buy 3 extra credits for $34, so basically about the same, about 11.35 a credit and of course the best offers are those occasional sales when they have a list of 100 or 200 books for $4.95 a book or the "Buy 3 books for 2 credits" promo which sometimes happens. I guess maybe they have different offers in the UK as they have here in the US/Canada.
