RE: DocScanner Pro OCR app

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Anthony,

You might have been looking at the wrong DocScanner app since there are 4 of
them and when I searched for DocScanner Pro SayText also came up I guess
because it's from the same developer.

I typed in DocScanner Pro and tapped search and it was the first search
result and it was still free just now. If you only type in DocScanner
without the Pro then DocScanner shows up as the first search result and it
is $4.99 and I believe it's their older app. There also is DocScanner
Classic which is even more at $9.99 and DocScanner Fast which is $2.99.


Regards,
Sieghard

SayText, although not so easy to use unless you had already mastered
freehand OCR apps with apps like Prizmo, amazingly produced reasonable
results at very low light levels if you managed to hold the iPhone camera
flat, steady, and aligned at the correct height (which is higher than for
most OCR apps, since the app tries to automatically detect the edges of
pages.)

Re: DocScanner Pro OCR app

[Esther]

Hi Anthony,

I'm in the US, and this app still shows up free for me, though I don't expect 
it will be for much longer.  It's a Free App of the Day selection.  Did you 
double tap on the link?  There is an older DocScanner app by the same people, 
and that app is not on sale.  The one I linked was newly released on July 7, 
2013, and was $6.99, currently free, version 1.0 of DocScanner Pro. Then there 
is DocScanner: Scan Multipage Documents to Beautiful PDFs  version 6.0.3 that 
is $4.99 (iPhone and iPad) and DocScanner Classic version 5.1.2 for iPhone 
only) that is $9.99.  All those are different apps by the same developer, and 
not free. 

Cheers,

Esther

RE: Some Items Lost During A Backup/Restore

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Ed,

 

First of all, you can't install an app somebody else sends you, so even if
somebody had this app it would not work on your iPhone since all apps, paid
and free, are tied to your specific Apple Id.

 

I know this advice may come too late, but a backup is not the same as a
sync. Backing up your phone does not back up any music or really any content
for that matter. It backs up your settings which includes information about
which apps you had installed and what your home screen layout was. It will
also back up things like your Favorites, Text Messages and so on. I actually
like to use the encrypted backup option which requires you to set a password
and confirm the password before the backup starts. This backs up even more
settings such as WiFi passwords.

 

As for music, apps, documents etc. those you have to sync to your computer.
I assume you did not sync your apps? In the case of that Bluetooth app which
I assume is one of these apps which turn on or off Bluetooth with a single
tap that was lost because it's not on the app store any more so the only way
to preserve something like that is to sync your apps with iTunes in which
case a copy of the app is stored locally on your computer. This way you can
put apps back on your phone that are not even there any more.

 

Was the mmusic you lost bought from iTunes? If so you can redownload it. If
it was synced to your iPhone, then do you still have it on your computer?

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Subject: Some Items Lost During A Backup/Restore

 

Hi all,

 

Because of some problems I was having with my iPhone 5, Verizon replaced it
with a new unit.  I created a backup of my original iPhone with iTunes and
then restored the backup to the new iPhone.  I noticed that a number of
items did not restore to the new iPhone.  Some documents I created using
purchased apps got lost, some music did not make it and I lost an app
entirely.  To create the backup, I simply went to file > devices> backup.  I
then connected the new iPhone and selected file > devices > restore.  Did I
miss something?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Oh yeah, the app I lost
is called Bluetooth X.  It's one of my favorite and most used apps.  I tried
to find it on the app store but it's no longer there.  If anyone can suggest
a similar app or has a copy of Bluetooth X they could send me, I would
greatly appreciate it.  Thanks.

 

Take care,

Ed Przybylek

RE: Experience with Nest Thermostat app accessibility

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Ed,

I have 3 of the Radio Thermostat units and I am very happy with them. The
app is fully accessible, there are a few little qwerks, but nothing that's a
dealbreaker.

Please use the link at the end of any message and go to the list archive,
type Radio Thermostat in the search field and you will find some of the
discussions. I posted some very detailed reviews/descriptions about it.


Take care,
Sieghard

 Hi.  I have the AfterShokz Bluez, which is the Bluetooth version of their
 
 sports headphones with mic.  You really can hear your surroundings
 because the headphones fit just in front of your ear leaving the ear
 uncovered. The headphones are attached to a band that fits over your ears
 
 and goes behind your head. They took a bit to get used to, but they're
 actually quite comfortable and fit well even though they're a loose fit.
 
 The controls are quite simple.  There's a answer/end call on the left ear
 
 that also allows you to use SIRI if you press and hold the button.
 There's an identical button on the right ear that starts and pauses
 music. The other functions are on the headband, so you'd need to reach
 behind your head to access them.  There's a micro USB port with a small,
 
 flimsy swivel cover, the on/off switch that also doubles as the pairing
 switch, and a volume rocker switch.
 
 I'm not sure about charging out of the US.  Mine came with a USB cable
 that I can connect to a PC or a wall charger.  So far, I've just used my
 
 wal

Not yet, and I doubt if I will.  The strap feels like a very short rubber
band that I think would make the head band to tight.  I can't even figure
how they fit on, though I can feel two ridges on each wide part of the strap
that probably correspond to the left and right side of the headband, so it's
just a matter of affixing the strap to the headband or headphones and
stretching them.

I thought the plastic straps were stabilizers if you didn't like how the 
headphones fitted as is. Not sure about the additional 3.5 cable as 
there's no where on the headphones to insert any other cables unless I'm 
mistaken.

What is that extra little 3.5 mil cable that comes with the wired
headset? I can't seem to find a use for it.
Also, what are those plastic strips for with the bluetooth headset?

The same thing happens if I'm listening to a streaming music station,

some


of this is the Bluetooth, but it can get annoying, especially when using

Over all, I like this headset.  Pairing was a breeze, I just turned it on

and then went into the Bluetooth portion of the iPhone settings and it 
was


paired automatically.  I can switch between off and standby or regular

Some Items Lost During A Backup/Restore

[Edward Przybylek]

Hi all,
 
Because of some problems I was having with my iPhone 5, Verizon replaced it
with a new unit.  I created a backup of my original iPhone with iTunes and
then restored the backup to the new iPhone.  I noticed that a number of
items did not restore to the new iPhone.  Some documents I created using
purchased apps got lost, some music did not make it and I lost an app
entirely.  To create the backup, I simply went to file > devices> backup.  I
then connected the new iPhone and selected file > devices > restore.  Did I
miss something?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Oh yeah, the app I lost
is called Bluetooth X.  It's one of my favorite and most used apps.  I tried
to find it on the app store but it's no longer there.  If anyone can suggest
a similar app or has a copy of Bluetooth X they could send me, I would
greatly appreciate it.  Thanks.
 
Take care,
Ed Przybylek

Re: trouble putting together Blueant T2

[Esther]

Hi Joanne and Brent,

There is a BlueAnt T2 model with a different ear hook design.  This is the 
successor to the T1, is designed for high wind noise conditions and 
"ruggedized", and most reviews I've read by people who have used the Q2 rate 
this below their experience with the Q2, especially in wearing comfort.  I've 
only tried the BlueAnt Q1, which uses the same ear hook design as the Q2 and 
Q3, and found that more comfortable (for me) than the Jawbone (older Icon 
model).  I think the Jawbone models get longer talk times, though.

Sorry I can't help with ear hook replacement suggestions. The BlueAnt web site 
has pretty extensive manuals, though, so if you get sighted help with reading 
through the user guides, you may be able to get this back in working order.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther,

Re: blueant bluetooth q3

[Esther]

Hi Joanne,,

If you plan on using the BlueAnt Q3 with an iPhone 5, make sure that you get 
feedback from someone who has applied the latest firmware update.  The initial 
reviews  all cited problems with dropped calls and bizarre sounds when this 
model was paired with the iPhone 5, only (not with the iPhone 4 or 4S).  A 
number of manufacturers have had to do firmware releases because of the way 
Bluetooth functions were implemented in the iPhone 5.  Reviews of the Q3 model 
with the new firmware are quite recent -- only two weeks ago for the Cult of 
the Mac, for example.  The U.S. Amazon site has a review from someone who 
bought this model in April, on the strength of his previous experience with the 
BlueAnt Q2, and returned it because of the BlueTooth performance (with a note 
that he fully expected to get this again when the new firmware was released.)

BlueAnt firmware updates are straightforward, but are only available on the 
Windows platform, despite the fact they've been stating they have Mac versions 
in preparation for over 3 years.  Jawbone has frequent firmware updates, and a 
Mac version of the updated, but their  MyTalk web site has pretty bad 
accessibility, and I would just advise you to get sighted assistance if you 
have to use it.  

I'll let you hear from current users of these products.  HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

trouble putting together Blueant T2

[Brent Harding]

Hi there. I was dumb and bought the Blueant T2 earpiece. I'm sure glad I 
only paid around $20 for it on 1saleaday, not necessarily because of the 
sound quality or features, but the rubber tip and hook don't go on easy at 
all. In fact, I asked my dad to help me put it back on, and he didn't 
remember how he got it when we first set it up. I used it about 3 times 
before I pulled the hook to get it over my ear, just a little too far, and 
the tip and hook flew off. How can I get the little rubber tip on this 
thing, since it doesn't just slip on? I could maybe get the thing in my ear 
without a tip, but the hard speaker thing isn't so comfortable.

blueant bluetooth q3

[Joanne Chua]

Hi all,

As subject above suggest, have anyone come across or own the Blueant Bluetooth 
headset?

It has some promising features, e.g. able to pair two device at the same time, 
3 ways conference call, etc.
It also got quite a high raiting from products review like CNET etc.

If you do come across or happen to own one, how does it compare to the 
pantronic voyager or the jawborn bluetooth headset?

Thanks.

RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8

[Alan Lemly]

Sieghard, many thanks for this detailed overview of the upgrade. I also
wrote Fleksy Support with some questions about the upgrade. They said that
favorites set up in a prior version would automatically be imported into the
new version. Sounds like your experience with this was different.

 

No matter since I've decided to stay with the older version and not upgrade
at this time. The program is doing what I need at a good rate of speed and I
don't want to give up the dedicated send buttons to my favorites which are
currently located on the main menu screen.

Subject: RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8

 

Hi Alan,

 

I think you can safely go ahead and upgrade if you like the Favorites list
the way it was.

I just tried this and while Fleksy will ask you to allow access to your
contacts, I would call it sort of pseudo integration because you still have
to initially go into Settings and add people to your Favorites list. The
only difference is that if you go to Settings in the app and then to
Settings and Setup Favorites which is the first option, you then get your
list of Favorites, you select one and then select that person's email or
mobile number depending on whether you usually email or text them. If you
want the option to both email and text them you have to add them twice.
After you are done you can then type some text, after you do a 2-finger
swipe up to bring up the menu, you select Favorites and here you now see the
list of people you added, it will read their name followed by either email
or phone number. If you pick somebody with an email address it will open the
mail app and their address will be filled in, your text is in the message
body and the subject in the subject line if you typed a subject followed by
an enter as your first line of text. All you have to do is tap Send.

I guess I shouldn't call it "pseudo integration" since it is a Favorites
list and not direct access to Contacts. I will maybe suggest they add a
Contacts button as well in the menu which would then directly bring up the
Contacts and it would allow you to select a contact, then select either
their email or mobile number and then start the mail app or messages app
accordingly. This way you could pick somebody you haven't added to your
Favorites list although I guess you can simply choose email or message and
then do that in the app.

Anyhow, only difference is that you don't have to type in all your contacts
separated by a comma in the settings, having access to your Contacts this
way allows you to more easily manage your Favorites list. Keep in mind that
if you upgrade any Contacts you manually typed in before will be gone, you
are starting out with a blank Favorites list and first have to go to
Settings, Manage Favorites and add them. The nice thing is that it will
first say the person's name before it says their email or phone number, I
believe before you just had a list of numbers and you had to know the number
in order to select it.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Okay. So that's one extra step. I assume that one of the options under the

where I'm guessing you can then search?

Hi, Chuck. Thanks for the Fleksy update comments. The only thing I'm
concerned about is with the change to favorites and its integration with
contacts. I have a limited number of contacts that I regularly text or email
and I liked having a specific button on the main menu to pick one of them as
the recipient of the copied text. Is that still available after the update
or is another step required to first select a contact. I'm hoping that
favorites already set up in Fleksy still have a dedicated button to send to
them.

Question about OOTunes and Tunein Radio

Hi folks, how are you doing?

I just bought an IPhone 5 and successfully transferred all my stuff from the 
old one.

However I lost all my favorite station (and there were a lot of them) both in 
OOtunes and in tune in.

Is there a way I can put them on the new phone or I have to manually put them

Re: Experience with Nest Thermostat app accessibility

[Keith Watson]

Brad,

The app is free to install. I installed and played with it earlier this year. 
It pretty much sucked. I contacted them about it and got quite a rude reply. 
Essentially they told me that they had no plans to address accessibility. I 
would suggest that you install the app and create an account to determine if 
any changes have been made over the past few iterations and determine for 
yourself.

Good Luck,

Keith

Re: Rakuten Special on iPad Keyboard Dock

[Esther]

Alan and Others,

Be aware that the iPad Keyboard Dock was released for the original, first 
generation iPad.  It's a hardware keyboard that will support VoiceOver keyboard 
navigation, but you'd have to connect it using a dock extension cable for 
anything other than the original iPad, or the iPhone 3GS or third generation 
iPod Touch, which can be docked directly if the bottom half of the device isn't 
in a case. This is not really a portable solution.

Oddly enough, Logitech has started making wired Keyboards for the iPad that 
connect through either a lightning connector or old 30-pin connector, for iPad 
classroom use.  I don't know whether VoiceOver audio is maintained when the 
keyboard is connected this way -- it  probably is, so that students can hear 
the audio from their apps.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8

[Godwin Adoyi]

Hi Alan,

I'm very happy with the update. Now that Fleksy is integrated with the
contacts, I don't care if Apple wouldn't include Fleksy as a native app.

One can now easily Send mail or SMS without copying and pasting.

Thanks to the Fleksy team! Keep up the good work!

Hi, Chuck. Thanks for the Fleksy update comments. The only thing I'm
concerned about is with the change to favorites and its integration with
contacts. I have a limited number of contacts that I regularly text or email
and I liked having a specific button on the main menu to pick one of them as
the recipient of the copied text. Is that still available after the update
or is another step required to first select a contact. I'm hoping that
favorites already set up in Fleksy still have a dedicated button to send to
them.

Hi Ellen,
I updated Fleksy, it seems to be working fine. As a matter fact, it seems
faster. Not much is changed, except for favorites are now under an
integrated button.

I tried using the vanilla skin, I didn't like the way it looked and went
back to the old style.

1. Integrating favorites with contacts.

2. Accuracy and speed improvements.

3. A couple of appearance themes to change the look. These used to be called
skins in the PC world if I'm remembering correctly.

 

I really love this app but haven't taken the upgrade plunge yet. I'm always
a little nervous about upgrading something I've already learned the ins and
outs of unless it includes some must have new feature.

 

I would appreciate it if someone updating to the new version would give us
your comments about it.

DocScanner Pro OCR app

[Esther]

Hi all,

DocScanner Pro by Haave Oy just got released:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/docscanner-pro/id669943429?mt=8

Before anyone gets excited, I'm pretty sure this app is not going to be your 
OCR app of choice, but it's a new app from the people who developed the SayText 
app, and it's free today.  And it's not so much that the app doesn't have 
labeled controls, as that the layout and workflow are not particularly 
conveniently set out for our use, and there is meant to be some interactive 
adjustment steps, although the app tries to automatically detect edges.  The 
main reason for posting this is so that Sandy and other list members who 
explore lots of OCR apps can get this to play with it while it's free.  
SayText, although not so easy to use unless you had already mastered freehand 
OCR apps with apps like Prizmo, amazingly produced reasonable results at very 
low light levels if you managed to hold the iPhone camera flat, steady, and 
aligned at the correct height (which is higher than for most OCR apps, since 
the app tries to automatically detect the edges of pages.)

This app does handle different languages, and there is an instructions guide at 
the very end of the Settings screen (use four finger tap on bottom half of 
screen to move there).  I havent't really gotten this working at all yet, but 
it seems to have more possibilities than the earlier DocScanner app from these 
folks.  Not sure whether this will be usable.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Plantronics M 55

[SSEric]

Did anyone else purchase this Bluetooth your piece? I am having one heck of a 
time with it. You are supposed to touch the outside housing to answer or end a 
call. When I do that, I hear my own surroundings echoing back to me, but not 
the person on the other end of the call. They do hear me. I have contacted 
Plantronics twice now. They first instructed me to reset all wireless on my 
iPhone five. The second call was cut off.

I can't believe there is a malfunction in just this part of the your piece. 
Otherwise, it is a very nice device. It was relatively inexpensive and does 
great with understanding Siri and dictation. It is very lightweight and 
comfortable. It does come with that vocalist service, which I would certainly 
not invest in other than the first year free. I do not even use it for free.

If anyone has suggestions what could be going on, it will be most appreciated. 
This is the type of device without a real button; rather, you press on the 
outer housing to activate a button. One tap is to answer or end a call. 

Thanks all for any suggestions!

Eric

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.

[Lisa belville]

Not yet, and I doubt if I will.  The strap feels like a very short rubber 
band that I think would make the head band to tight.  I can't even figure 
how they fit on, though I can feel two ridges on each wide part of the strap 
that probably correspond to the left and right side of the headband, so it's 
just a matter of affixing the strap to the headband or headphones and 
stretching them.

Nest app not accessible according to tech support at Nest

Thanks to several members who took time to send very detailed and useful 
info on Radio Thermostats.


To let you know, I contacted Nest and was informed that the app is not 
accessible using VoiceOver. Interestingly, the support agent stated that 
this was in the knowledge base which they access when providing support.

My new iPad Mini

[Joseph Hudson]

Hello all, I would like to let everybody know that I got a new iPad Mini and I 
have a little bit of issues. Then I'd like to see if you can help me with. I 
was just in my email on my iPad mini and I was deleting emails by thread. And 
like whenever I got them with red it would take me to the next individual 
message instead of saying inbox and then telling me how many there was that was 
in there like the iPhone does. If anybody can help me that we greatly 
appreciated thanks and have a great day.

The little cable is a 3.5 to 2.5 adaptor.

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.

[Lisa belville]

Hmm, just checked and I do not have any such 3.5 cable.  I have the 
Bluetooth version of these and not the wired versions.  There may be some 
kind of extender cable with the wired versions.

I thought the plastic straps were stabilizers if you didn't like how the 
headphones fitted as is. Not sure about the additional 3.5 cable as there's 
no where on the headphones to insert any other cables unless I'm mistaken.

Re: Experience with Nest Thermostat app accessibility

[Christopher Chaltain]

I know you're asking about the Nest, but I'm wondering if you've already 
checked out the Radio Thermostats from 
http://www.radiothermostat.com/control.html I don't have one myself, but 
after hearing about it on this list, this is the thermostat I have my 
eye on.

Re: Update for Talking Goggles, was: talking goggles

[don bishop]

 Sieghard, 
I did see your previous message.  Think I found my problem.  I also have 
camfind on my phone and was trying to use goggles in a similar way, but it 
looks like camfind will take more ofan environment picture where goggles takes 
a picture of a specific item and you need to be relatively close to it for the 
picture to take proerly.  Once I figured that out, googles seems to be working 
as advertised.

Thanks for the clear instructions and the meaning of all the controls.

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.

What is that extra little 3.5 mil cable that comes with the wired

Also, what are those plastic strips for with the bluetooth headset?

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Lisa,

The headphones are supposed to fit just the way you have them. If they were 
supposed to fit snugly to your head, they'd have adjusters.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.

[Lisa belville]

Well, I didn't get them specifically for music.  They sound Okay, but only 
if I'm using them while just sitting waiting or not wanting good sound 
quality.  They do feel odd if I've got them turned up as they vibrate even 
at low volume, and the higher volume increases the vibration on the sides of 
my face that actually tickles and then gets really annoying after a while.


I can hear them just fine, but at first I did have to fiddle with the VO 
volume, the headphone volume, and the volume switches on the phone to strike 
a balance, though because they're all independent of each other.


I can hear the GPS and conversation around me, though I need to concentrate 
more on each individual element just as I would when using and external 
device.

The World's first Braille Cell Phone!



Entrepreneur Sumit Dagar announced he will be rolling out the world's
first
Braille cell phone. His company, Kryiate, has drawn up the first
prototype.



Dagar says that test users found it difficult to imagine dynamic Braille
on
such a small device at first, then, after using it, were very happy with
it.



The first-generation Braille cell phone will have some typical smart 
phone

features such as a music player, an e-mail client, a calendar, and even
GPS
navigation. The Braille display features include a ten character display
which can be typed in via a numerical keypad with tactile markings for
each
of the numbers.



The smaller cell display means it doesn't need to be a typical smart 
phone

CPU, keeping the (yet to be announced) price low. "Anybody who can afford
a
phone can afford this phone," Dagar says.

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.

[Lisa belville]

I understand completely.  

They fit behind my ears Okay, but I've given up on getting them to fit 
exactly across the back of my head.  They sort of droop down like a 
backwards blouse so they're almost touching the back of my neck between my 
shoulders.  I have long hair, and even in a pony tail this can get a little 
annoying, but I'm used to it.  I've moved in all kinds of directions while 
wearing them just to try to knock them off, including bending down to 
harness and pick up after my dog and while the headphones shift some on my

Hi Lisa.

Thank you very much. I have 1 more question, how is the sound quality when 
using the headset for answering or making a call.


Cheers Annie.

Hi.  I have the AfterShokz Bluez, which is the Bluetooth version of their 
sports headphones with mic.  You really can hear your surroundings 
because the headphones fit just in front of your ear leaving the ear 
uncovered. The headphones are attached to a band that fits over your ears 
and goes behind your head. They took a bit to get used to, but they're 
actually quite comfortable and fit well even though they're a loose fit.


The controls are quite simple.  There's a answer/end call on the left ear 
that also allows you to use SIRI if you press and hold the button. 
There's an identical button on the right ear that starts and pauses 
music. The other functions are on the headband, so you'd need to reach 
behind your head to access them.  There's a micro USB port with a small, 
flimsy swivel cover, the on/off switch that also doubles as the pairing 
switch, and a volume rocker switch.


I'm not sure about charging out of the US.  Mine came with a USB cable 
that I can connect to a PC or a wall charger.  So far, I've just used my 
wall charger, which is the same one I use for other USB devices.  The 
included cable seems fairly standard and would probably work with other 
things with a micro USB port.


Just ask if you have more questions.

Hi.

I am in doubt about which of the aftershokz headphones I should buy. I 
think I will buy the bluetooth model, but what will you recommend. I 
think I can get allowed to buy them on amazon.

Re: Update for Talking Goggles, was: talking goggles

[Lisa belville]

Hi.  Many of us have had more luck with the video option.  Just double tap 
the record button, and you should hear a beep to let you know the app is 
working.  Now hold the back facing camera so it's facing something you want 
recognized, be sure the camera is several inches away and try holding it 
still for at least 30 seconds.  The image including the text is sent off to 
a server someplace, so the recognition isn't instantaneous.  If you don't 
get a response, try shifting the camera a bit or moving the object in 
question.  For a box or bag, try turning it over or repositioning it in case 
the label isn't available.

RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Alan,

 

I think you can safely go ahead and upgrade if you like the Favorites list
the way it was.

I just tried this and while Fleksy will ask you to allow access to your
contacts, I would call it sort of pseudo integration because you still have
to initially go into Settings and add people to your Favorites list. The
only difference is that if you go to Settings in the app and then to
Settings and Setup Favorites which is the first option, you then get your
list of Favorites, you select one and then select that person's email or
mobile number depending on whether you usually email or text them. If you
want the option to both email and text them you have to add them twice.
After you are done you can then type some text, after you do a 2-finger
swipe up to bring up the menu, you select Favorites and here you now see the
list of people you added, it will read their name followed by either email
or phone number. If you pick somebody with an email address it will open the
mail app and their address will be filled in, your text is in the message
body and the subject in the subject line if you typed a subject followed by
an enter as your first line of text. All you have to do is tap Send.

I guess I shouldn't call it "pseudo integration" since it is a Favorites
list and not direct access to Contacts. I will maybe suggest they add a
Contacts button as well in the menu which would then directly bring up the
Contacts and it would allow you to select a contact, then select either
their email or mobile number and then start the mail app or messages app
accordingly. This way you could pick somebody you haven't added to your
Favorites list although I guess you can simply choose email or message and
then do that in the app.

Anyhow, only difference is that you don't have to type in all your contacts
separated by a comma in the settings, having access to your Contacts this
way allows you to more easily manage your Favorites list. Keep in mind that
if you upgrade any Contacts you manually typed in before will be gone, you
are starting out with a blank Favorites list and first have to go to
Settings, Manage Favorites and add them. The nice thing is that it will
first say the person's name before it says their email or phone number, I
believe before you just had a list of numbers and you had to know the number
in order to select it.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi, Chuck. Thanks for the Fleksy update comments. The only thing I'm
concerned about is with the change to favorites and its integration with
contacts. I have a limited number of contacts that I regularly text or email
and I liked having a specific button on the main menu to pick one of them as
the recipient of the copied text. Is that still available after the update
or is another step required to first select a contact. I'm hoping that
favorites already set up in Fleksy still have a dedicated button to send to
them.

Fleksy Voiceover responsiveness on the keyboard

[Nimit Kaur]

Changed subject to match my point..

Hi!  Sandy, I know what you mean.  That happens to me all the time as
well.  I thought it was me doing something wrong.  I tried ARI's way
by putting my finger where the letter may be and then slide and lift,
but it works sometimes.  I still happen to delete my text and make
mistakes like you described.  I like Fleksy, but I just wish they
would make voiceover more responsive on the keyboard and that would be
good for me.  I know that the fleksy app is supposed to make a wild
guess on what you are trying to type.  I also understand that if the
keyboard was more spoken, there would be no different in the on screen
keyboard and the fleksy because we slide and lift on touch typing
anyways.  You know what I mean?  But anyways, I would try to play
around more with this suggestion.

RE: Update for Talking Goggles, was: talking goggles

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Don,

I have a 4S and I find this app really works well in video mode since it
will do OCR on the fly o to speak.
Yes, the Flag En is just a menu where you can change your language.
I just posted a message in response to another person, David, maybe check it
out.

Hi Esther and all,
I even unstalled again but still doesn't do much.  I have an iphone4s if
that makes a difference.  
What does flag n do? Tapping that brings up  a list of languages but when i
doubletap the app ends and i go bzck to the main screen. I hit the camera so
it shows still camera which i believe is correct.  Just don' understand why
it's working for others but not here.  
Any suggestions are welcome.  
Thanks,

RE: talking goggles update

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi David,

I am still keeping this on the list since others may find this helpful as
well. One thing that would be useful is if you could exactly explain what
your difficulty with the app is. The app is super simple, either use it in
still camera mode or video mode, whichever you pick (you select this at the
bottom right) the button to take the picture or to start and stop recording
is just above the home key.
Apart from that the only other things you can do is turn the flash on or off
at the top left, it will say "Flash" if it is on and "FlashOff" if it is
off.
On the top right you can change the language, but it should be on English by
default which I assume is what you want.
If you selected Still Camera there is one more button called "Gallery" on
the bottom left which gives you access to an album the app creates in your
Photos app and where any pictures you take are stored. You can, however,
tell the app not to save any photos in the Settings.
This button is not there if you selected video mode since it does not save
any video.
Lastly, there are 3 Settings which you have to access via the main Settings
app on your iPhone.
Here is where you can toggle "Saved Captured Images".
Second setting is whether you want the app to use its own voice to speak or
not, I recommend to leave this On which is the default.
Last is "Performance", you can have this on Fast, Balanced or Best. Balanced
is the default and I find it works well for me.

Personally I think this app shines in video mode since it will do OCR on the
fly, but of course you have to practice and make sure you hold your phone
still and play around with distances. My rule of thumb is that I hold the
phone about 6 inches away from a small package, maybe something that is
about 4 to 6 inches. If you are using it on something larger like a cereal
box you might want to be at least a foot away.
If you are using it in video mode you have to hold it still for at least 5
seconds or a bit longer before you get any feedback.


Like I said, if you have any more questions please explain what the issue is
so I can try and reproduce it.


Regards,
Sieghard

Re: Frustrated with Seeing Eye Sluggishness on iPhone 4

hi Tom.
I had this same issue with my iPhone 4. The only way I could get it to
run without lag was to restart my phone each time I wanted to use the
Seeing Eye app. I have no other suggestions, sorry. On my iPhone 5, of
course, this was not an issue.

RE: instructions for setting up an iPod

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Paul,

 

I don't think it changes anything with respect to how you get music onto the
device. As far as I know you still have to manage them via iTunes and in
some ways maybe even more so than a Touch because I believe you can't
install apps on a Nano and definitely not on a Shuffle. Actually, I think
the Nano allows for some apps, but since it hasn't got the capabilities of a
Touch I don't think you can install just any app. With an iPod Touch at
least you could use Dropbox or apps like PhoneDrive or Tonido (there are
many more out there) which allow you to tramsfer content from a PC to your
device without iTunes.

Now, keep in mind that this is not really like copying stuff like you can
with a Stream or Booksense and personally I don't like any of these apps
except maybe for Dropbox or Skydrive because really you are just syncing
content between your computer and that app rather than using iTunes and most
of these apps require you to install an app on your computer as well.

Sieghard

Hi Paul,

 

You will have to manage an iPod Touch exactly the same way as an iPhone, it
is basically an iPhone without the phone (and GPS receiver).

 

So, no you can't put music on it from Amazon Cloudplayer, yes, triple click
Home should work provided you do it first thing after you take it out of the
box and turn it on and as for using iTunes, well, you don't have to use
iTunes ever if you just buy music from the iTunes store, but if you want to
put music on the iPod from your computer then you can only do so via iTunes.
If you have MP3 files from Amazon downloaded to your computer you should be
able to put them on the iPod Touch by first adding them to your iTunes
library (use File menu, Add Folder to Library, then browse to your folder
where the music is stored). Only thing I don't know since I never bought any
music from Amazon is whether the MP3 files are somehow protected, if they
are not then you can transfer them to your iPod Touch no problem.

 

If you are using Windows 7 and Jaws 14 along with iTunes 11 everything is
very accessible. Jonathan's 2-part Podcast about using iTunes 11 with Jaws
14 which you can find at www.FreedomScientific.com/FSCast is a very good
resource if you want to become more comfortable with iTunes.

Sieghard

Hello, we are looking into purchasing an iPod; are there specific
instructions for setting it up?

Do you have to set it up using iTunes?

Can you move songs to it that are not part of your iTunes library, from
Amazon cloud player or from an amazon MP3 folder on our computer?

 

Also does it use something similar to the tripple click home button to turn
on voiceover or should this be done in a store?

 

Thanks.

Re: Update for Talking Goggles, was: talking goggles

[don bishop]

Hi Esther and all,
I even unstalled again but still doesn't do much.  I have an iphone4s if that 
makes a difference.  
What does flag n do? Tapping that brings up  a list of languages but when i 
doubletap the app ends and i go bzck to the main screen. I hit the camera so it 
shows still camera which i believe is correct.  Just don' understand why it's 
working for others but not here.  
Any suggestions are welcome.  
Thanks,
Don

RE: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.

[Alan Lemly]

I'm still on the previous Fleksy version but I've seen Sandy's problem
sporadically but not nearly to the extent she's experiencing it. I'm using
an iPhone 5 and when using the accurate mode to spell out words, I use the
approach mentioned by Ari: I place my finger near to where the desired
letter is, slide it until VO announces the correct letter, and then lift and
move to the next one and repeat. I get occasional glitches but this works
correctly almost all of the time.

I've seen this problem, two, and the way to minimize it, at least that I
have found, is to not slide your finger around on the keyboard when looking
for the next letter. Instead, just place your finger as near as possible to
the letter, and then lift when you reach the right one. I hope this makes
some kind of sense. Basically, you just have to get as close as possible to
the letter before sliding to look for it. Anyway, hope this helps.

 

 

Thanks,

Hi Sandy, 

I am writing this in Fleksy. I did the salutation with the intentional mode
and had a little of your issue I think. After writing the capital S for your
name, when I tried to get the a, I had nothing but silence until I tapped
and then flicked right and heard the wrong word and found that a letter had
been entered that I did not hear. I deleted that word and tried again. The
second try worked. 

The main difference I think between my first and second attempts was that as
soon as I touched the correct letter I lifted my finger quickly. Though,
having said that I cannot seen to duplicate the issue now that I am in the
midst of a lengthy note. This is on an ipod touch 5th generation. I am using
Fleksy in portrait mode but I don't know if that really matters. 

Sorry for the rambling note but I was trying to duplicate your issue and
could only partly succeed in doing that.

Hi,

   I just updated my version of Fleksy and have the same problems that I
have always had with this app. To wit: while using the normal mode of
typing, the pattern based one that is, things are fine and I love the app,
but as soon as I need to input a specific word, using the accurate mode, I
get an extremely unresponsive keyboard and virtually never get it right.
Worse! I fine I delete my previous typing word by word.

   has anyone found a way to use the accurate mode effectively and reliably?
I have written to Fleksy re this but have not been reassured that they are
looking into it. For me, this is enough to stop using an app which I had
thought a serious game changer.

Hi Paul,

 

You will have to manage an iPod Touch exactly the same way as an iPhone, it is 
basically an iPhone without the phone (and GPS receiver).

 

So, no you can’t put music on it from Amazon Cloudplayer, yes, triple click 
Home should work provided you do it first thing after you take it out of the 
box and turn it on and as for using iTunes, well, you don’t have to use iTunes 
ever if you just buy music from the iTunes store, but if you want to put music 
on the iPod from your computer then you can only do so via iTunes. If you have 
MP3 files from Amazon downloaded to your computer you should be able to put 
them on the iPod Touch by first adding them to your iTunes library (use File 
menu, Add Folder to Library, then browse to your folder where the music is 
stored). Only thing I don’t know since I never bought any music from Amazon is 
whether the MP3 files are somehow protected, if they are not then you can 
transfer them to your iPod Touch no problem.

 

If you are using Windows 7 and Jaws 14 along with iTunes 11 everything is very 
accessible. Jonathan’s 2-part Podcast about using iTunes 11 with Jaws 14 which 
you can find at www.FreedomScientific.com/FSCast is a very good resource if you 
want to become more comfortable with iTunes.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hello, we are looking into purchasing an iPod; are there specific instructions

Do you have to set it up using iTunes?

Can you move songs to it that are not part of your iTunes library, from Amazon 
cloud player or from an amazon MP3 folder on our computer?

 

Also does it use something similar to the tripple click home button to turn on 
voiceover or should this be done in a store?

RE: instructions for setting up an iPod

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Paul,

 

You will have to manage an iPod Touch exactly the same way as an iPhone, it
is basically an iPhone without the phone (and GPS receiver).

 

So, no you can't put music on it from Amazon Cloudplayer, yes, triple click
Home should work provided you do it first thing after you take it out of the
box and turn it on and as for using iTunes, well, you don't have to use
iTunes ever if you just buy music from the iTunes store, but if you want to
put music on the iPod from your computer then you can only do so via iTunes.
If you have MP3 files from Amazon downloaded to your computer you should be
able to put them on the iPod Touch by first adding them to your iTunes
library (use File menu, Add Folder to Library, then browse to your folder
where the music is stored). Only thing I don't know since I never bought any
music from Amazon is whether the MP3 files are somehow protected, if they
are not then you can transfer them to your iPod Touch no problem.

 

If you are using Windows 7 and Jaws 14 along with iTunes 11 everything is
very accessible. Jonathan's 2-part Podcast about using iTunes 11 with Jaws
14 which you can find at www.FreedomScientific.com/FSCast is a very good
resource if you want to become more comfortable with iTunes.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Subject: instructions for setting up an iPod

 

Hello, we are looking into purchasing an iPod; are there specific
instructions for setting it up?

Do you have to set it up using iTunes?

Can you move songs to it that are not part of your iTunes library, from
Amazon cloud player or from an amazon MP3 folder on our computer?

 

Also does it use something similar to the tripple click home button to turn
on voiceover or should this be done in a store?

 

Thanks.

 

Paul

Re: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8

Now there is a favorites button. When you tap this a  list   of your favorites 
will drop down.

Rakuten Special on iPad Keyboard Dock

[Alan Lemly]

Rakuten (formerly Buy.com) has a special today on the Apple iPad Keyboard
Dock - MC533LLB for $68.88 with free shipping. I thought that was supposed
to be a low price but I just checked Amazon and they have it for $70.65 so
maybe not. Amazon lists the retail price at $99.99. I think this may be a
one-day only sale at both places.

 

For those interested, here's the Rakuten link to the item:

 

http://www.rakuten.com/prod/apple-ipad-keyboard-dock/221986775.html?ListingI
D=278162175

 

I've been told on other lists that Rakuten's site for ordering is most
inaccessible except when doing it using your iDevice and its browser. So
those interested in buying from them should launch the above link from their
iDevice.

 

Here's a link to the same item at Amazon:

 

http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPad-Keyboard-Dock-Package/dp/B0040HEMP8/ref=sr_
1_1?s=electronics
 &ie=UTF8&qid=1374075806&sr=1-1&keywords=iPad+keyboard+dock

 

That Amazon link is monster long so will no doubt break in this email.
Here's a TinyURL to the same thing:

Hi. With any other app link to iTunes is given, it will work from either your 
iDevice or from the computer. I think you found the app by now, so that is 
great regardless of which method you used.

RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8

[Alan Lemly]

Hi, Chuck. Thanks for the Fleksy update comments. The only thing I'm
concerned about is with the change to favorites and its integration with
contacts. I have a limited number of contacts that I regularly text or email
and I liked having a specific button on the main menu to pick one of them as
the recipient of the copied text. Is that still available after the update
or is another step required to first select a contact. I'm hoping that
favorites already set up in Fleksy still have a dedicated button to send to
them.

voicedream reading pdf files

[Martin Nelson]

Hello, List: I downloaded from my dropbox a pdf file to Voicedream. When I 
try to read it I am told no voice is available. I do have voices for regular 
books. Neither can I read the document with voiceover.

Any ideas as to what might be happening would be most appreciated.
Thank you.
Martin Nelson

RE: Perhaps slightly OT.voiceye

[Bill Holton]

Unfortunately, the software to create the codes costs $500.

Kristen, 

 

I would highly recommend getting this product. Creating the codes can be
done in Microsoft Word, Adobe InDesign, or automatically by integrating into
you existing system. Unlike QR codes, Voiceye can hold up to 2 pages of text
that can then be read to the user through voiceover or Text-To-Speech, or
can be shown in 5 high-contrast modes with 10 levels of magnification.
Voiceye is being used as a standard by the South Korean government for
accessible documents with thousands of applications. I know that large banks
all the way to small companies and individuals are making these codes, so I
am certain there is something for everyone with Voiceye's solution.

 

I would contact Sight and Sound about your specific situation to see how it
would work best for you. I am really excited about this product for the
visually impaired and want to see these codes everywhere.


Thanks,
Thomas Simpson

I have recently learnt about this product. I understand that it is a way of
incorporating an entire text into a bar code. You then use the app,
available on iPhone etc, or an existing piece of software, in the UK,
available from sight and sound technology, to read the bar code and work out
what the text is inside. Does anyone have any experience of using this? Is
it worth looking into and getting? It sounds very intriguing, but
potentially, it could be very complicated too! Do a lot of things now
automatically use such barcodes? Or is this something you have to set up
manually every time? 
Any thoughts would be very welcome! 
Thanks in advance,

Re: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.

[Arianna]

I've seen this problem, two, and the way to minimize it, at least that I have 
found, is to not slide your finger around on the keyboard when looking for the 
next letter. Instead, just place your finger as near as possible to the letter, 
and then lift when you reach the right one. I hope this makes some kind of 
sense. Basically, you just have to get as close as possible to the letter 
before sliding to look for it. Anyway, hope this helps.


Thanks,
Ari

Re: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8

Fw: [nfbmi-talk] The World's First Braille Cell Phone

[Fred Olver]

Subject: [nfbmi-talk] The World's First Braille Cell Phone





The World's first Braille Cell Phone!



Entrepreneur Sumit Dagar announced he will be rolling out the world's 
first
Braille cell phone. His company, Kryiate, has drawn up the first 
prototype.




Dagar says that test users found it difficult to imagine dynamic Braille 
on
such a small device at first, then, after using it, were very happy with 
it.




The first-generation Braille cell phone will have some typical smart phone
features such as a music player, an e-mail client, a calendar, and even 
GPS

navigation. The Braille display features include a ten character display
which can be typed in via a numerical keypad with tactile markings for 
each

of the numbers.



The smaller cell display means it doesn't need to be a typical smart phone
CPU, keeping the (yet to be announced) price low. "Anybody who can afford 
a

phone can afford this phone," Dagar says.

Re: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.

[Richard Turner]

Hi Sandy, 
I am writing this in Fleksy. I did the salutation with the intentional mode and 
had a little of your issue I think. After writing the capital S for your name, 
when I tried to get the a, I had nothing but silence until I tapped and then 
flicked right and heard the wrong word and found that a letter had been entered 
that I did not hear. I deleted that word and tried again. The second try 
worked. 
The main difference I think between my first and second attempts was that as 
soon as I touched the correct letter I lifted my finger quickly. Though, having 
said that I cannot seen to duplicate the issue now that I am in the midst of a 
lengthy note. This is on an ipod touch 5th generation. I am using Fleksy in 
portrait mode but I don't know if that really matters. 
Sorry for the rambling note but I was trying to duplicate your issue and could 
only partly succeed in doing that.

Re: Frustrated with Seeing Eye Sluggishness on iPhone 4

Hi,
Yeah, I sent a note off to Sendero even before I posted to the list.  I wanted 
to see if what Sendero suggests differs from what if anything is offered here.  
Thanks.

  Hi Tom,

   

  I have no suggestions other than that this is something you should definitely 
contact Senero about. You can write to iph...@senderogroup.com regarding the 
Seeing Eye app. Of course it will be interesting to see if any other iPhone 4 
users on this list reply and confirm or not confirm your problem.

  Subject: Frustrated with Seeing Eye Sluggishness on iPhone 4

   

  Hi all,

   

  When I first installed and ran Seeing Eye GPS on my iPhone 4 it was very 
sluggish when I tried navigating around the Location screen.  I cleared out the 
app switcher and still no joy.  Finally, I shut down and restarted the phone 
and the app seemed more responsive with VoiceOver afterwords.  

   

  Lately the app is getting sluggish again and staying that way despite 
clearing out the app switcher and powering down and restarting the phone.

   

  I should tell you that I'm not using the phone with bluetooth on, and wi-fi 
is turned off, too.  All data coming in is over 3g or is whatever the internal 
GPS receiver brings in. 

   

  I really like the app and want to use it as often as I can, but short of 
upgrading to a newer, faster phone I'm at a loss here.  Are there optimal 
settings which will ensure that I can move freely about the screen without the 
app or VoiceOver getting hopelessly bogged down?  This is puzzling and 
frustrating me, so any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

   

  Tom

That's pretty funny!

Thanks for shairing it.

If they ever come out with the 5S or the 6 as some folks believe their going to

  Hello all,
  Back with a little  Siri humor. I set an alarm for 7 a.m. I woke up wide 
awake at 6:30 a.m. Instead of waiting for the alarm to go off, I asked Siri to  
cancel my alarm for 7 a.m. Her answer? "OK, your alarm for 7 a.m. has been 
canceled. Now we can all get some sleep!" I chuckled the whole morning!

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi Lisa and others.

Now I have got my aftershokz bluetooth headset, and it is a great headset, when 
you need to listen to a gps or taking a call while you are walking.

The only thing is to get them to fit on my little head, but ok it works.

Cheers Annie.

Re: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.

[Sandratomkins]

Anna,
I too am using for S. But the accurate mode in Fleksy still is extremely 
inaccurate for me. Often I can't even seem to get a response to the letter I am 
touching. If I move about on the screen I find I'm deleting my previously typed 
text. And while I'm looking for letters, even though nothing is spoken, I still 
find letters are put into the text. Perhaps you, or someone, can offer me some 
tips as to what I'm doing wrong?
Ever hopeful, Sandy.

Re: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.

Hi Sandy,

I haven't had this problem. The keyboard is responsive when I am typing in my 
own text. Which iPhone are you using? I'm using a 4S.
Best,

Experience with Nest Thermostat app accessibility

[Brad Hodges]

Colleagues:

My 38 year old central air conditioner appears to have cooled for the 
last time. Since I am making a significant investment in it's 
replacement I thought I should also considder an up to date thermostat. 
After reading about the Nest for some time, I am now in a position to 
considder it. If anyone has experience with respect to the accessibility 
of the Nest app, I would appreciate hearing from you. My direct e-mail 
is hts25...@aol.com


Thanks,

Brad Hodges

Re: sms to dropbox

Hi Robert,

Only way would be to copy the text message to your clipboard, then paste it
into an editor like the Notes app or if you want it to sync to Dropbox, use
an editor which supports saving to Dropbox like Elements.

I have experimented with the main conversation window and hoped one could
somehow select and copy an entire conversation, but unless I am missing
something, I am not able to do so.

I find it easiest to open a conversation, then tap on Edit in the top right
and then find the message I want to copy. If you tap on Edit first, once you
swipe to the message you want you can just turn the rotor to Edit, swipe
down (maybe this is not even needed since Copy seems to be the only
selection here) and double tap. Now I can, for example, open a note in the
Notes app, once again turn the rotor to Edit and swipe up once to get to
paste, double tap and that particular message will be pasted into the Note.
If you want to copy a bunch of messages from a conversation this is a pretty
tedious process. Let's hope that in iOS 7 there is an easier way to maybe
export an entire conversation or send it by email which in my opinion would
be a good solution as one could email it to oneself.

Sieghard

  Dear listers

   

  I love using Siri for as much as I can as, when it works (which it does 90% 
of the time), it's fantastic. I'm stumped about the best way to create 
appointments as, when I say something like "Create an appointment for 10am 
tomorrow morning", Siri says 'I have created an appointment titled 
'Appointment' for 10am tomorrow' and when I then say "Change title" she asks me 
for the new title and when I've told her she then seems to not accept it and 
we're back to square one.

   

  Does anyone have the right syntax I can use to successfully create 
appointments in one go? Ideally I'd even like to get an address and duration in 
there in one go too. And if not in one go what steps have people used to 
successfully set up appointments?

   

  Thanks, Robin.

sms to dropbox

[Robert Doc Wright]

I found an answer.  I found an app named, "plain text" by Hog Bay software. 
It is free but has advertisements.  It costs $1.99 to remove ads.  The 
program is very accessible and works well with voiceover.  I have asked 
people to text  me their home address for my list of wedding invitations. 
When they arrive I only need to copy the message, open plain text, double 
tap new document,  change the untitled document name to whatever I wish, 
open document content  and paste. If I have Plain text set to sync 
automatically with dropbox I first hear dropbox announce the title of the 
text file and when I update the document content dropbox then announces the 
update.
