Survey on blind / low vision user experience and a chance to win US$80 Amazon, Apple App Store or Google Play Store gift card

2015-06-30 Thread Phil
Hi everyone,

My name is Phil So. I'm writing you because I was wondering if you
would so kindly help me with a survey project? I'm a board member at
an university blind technology center, and I'd like to invite you to
take a 15-minute survey on your airline travel experience as a blind
or visually impaired person. In exchange you will have the chance to
win up to US$80 Amazon, Apple App Store or Google Play Store gift
card.

The survey link URL is http://bit.ly/airline2015

Would you also be so kind to share this survey with your friends on
social media? The aim of this project is to create an Airline
Disability-friendliness Ranking to empower us and help us make more
informed consumer choices, and to inform how the air travel industry
could make their websites, smartphone apps, and boarding process more
accessible and blind-friendly.

In particular, the person who refers the most number of people to take
the survey will win $50 Apple or Google gift card. The truth is, this
survey research would only be meaningful if there's a large
participation.  So I hope you would generously take 15 minutes to
support this project and also spread the word to your friends on
social media.

Again, the survey link is http://bit.ly/airline2015.

If you have any question please email me at philso1...@gmail.com

Thank you very much.

Warm regards,
Phil

Re: Your thoughts on the digit ice for creating and identifying labels

2015-05-22 Thread Phil Vlasak

Feliciano,
I think you are writing about Digit-Eyes,
By Digital Miracles, L.L.C.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/digit-eyes/id376424490?mt=8


I and my wife have been using it for years.
The iPhone app works great and we get a result within two or three seconds.
We have our shopper put clear tape right over the bar code on the cans and 
boxes at the time of purchase right in the store.
The tape is thick enough to feel and makes it much easier to know where to 
scan.
The app makes a quiet beeping sound when it sees part of the bar code which 
gives enough feedback to allow us to adjust the camera to pick up the entire 
bar code.
As the data base of bar codes is on the internet, it is constantly being 
updated automatically.

Everyone, What do you consider when choosing a phone?

2015-04-08 Thread Phil
Hi everyone,
Hope you are doing well.
I was wondering, what are some of the things you consider when buying
a phone, either smartphone or basic phone? For example, some people
must choose a phone that has physical keys, some people choose phone
based on what blind-specific apps are on that platform, some people
don't want touchscreen, and of course price.
I'm doing a research and would love to know what are maybe top 5 to 7
things you consider. Just whatever things come to your mind right
away.
And please also kindly share with us what phone you're using now.
It should be interesting to see how we choose our phone differently.
Thanks a lot!
Best,
Phil

Re: Accessible App for Scanning Food Items for Nutritional Info?

2015-02-16 Thread Phil Vlasak
One trick we use all the time is to have either a sited person or the check out 
cashier to place a piece of clear masking tape over the location of the bar 
code. This works even on frozen dinners.
Then when scanning with Digit-Eyes I can locate the bar code, scan it, and get 
results in about two seconds.

  Subject: RE: Accessible App for Scanning Food Items for Nutritional Info?


  Sometimes the nutritional information is included when using Digit-Eyes.

  The issue with not knowing where to find the bar code is a universal issue, 
not limited to any one app.

  The rule of thumb is that on canned goods, the bar code is usually to the 
left of the label seam on the lower half of the can.

  On bags, also to the left of the seam toward the bottom.

  Boxes, often on the bottom, or on the side near the bottom.

   

  Beyond that, it is a guessing game if you have no vision like many of us.


  Even though there is no app, if you know the brand and size of the container, 
you can also get this information from www.directionsforme.com

  It also gives you the package directions for many products, not just food.

Lending ones’ eyes via smartphone

2015-02-09 Thread Phil Vlasak

Lending ones’ eyes via smartphone
NPR  Marketplace
February 9, 2015

An app that helps the blind by connecting them to sighted volunteers who can 
see through their video camera has been gaining a lot of attention since its 
recent launch. Be My Eyes, as the app is known, was developed by Hans Jørgen 
Wiberg, a 50-year-old Dane, and funded by three different Danish groups. 
Wiberg himself is visually impaired.


“Its great to see people being really innovative in this space,” says Eliza 
Cooper, a social media consultant who has been blind since childhood. She 
recently tested the app to find out the expiration date on her milk carton.


“I didn’t know where the expiration date usually is,” says Cooper. So her 
volunteer looked at her own milk carton and then told Cooper where to aim 
the camera.


What made her apprehensive, Cooper says, was not the technology itself, but 
the person who would be on the other end. “Maybe someone who is lonely and 
just wants a connection, and they choose to use this app,” she says. “That 
made me nervous.”


But she soon realized that wasn’t the case. The woman Cooper spoke to didn’t 
ask to exchange names. “I felt good about not having any pressure to 
identify anything more than I wanted to,” says Cooper.

Suggestions for good and cheap Magnifier apps

2015-01-17 Thread Phil
Hi all, there're so many apps that can turn our smartphones into
magnifying glass. Can you please suggest which ones are good, and
ideally cheap if not free? Both iPhone and Android. I have a friend
who is starting to lose his vision and I want to recommend something
for him. Thanks a lot! Warmly,
Phil

Re: digitize?

2014-12-07 Thread Phil Vlasak
They have a web site too:
http://www.digit-eyes.com/

When at the super market, have your shopper put a piece of clear tape over the 
bar code on packages. This even works on frozen dinners.
We can then feel the slight raised tape on the package and it only takes two or 
three seconds to scan it with Digit-Eyes and get a report of what it is.
The app converts the bar code to a number then looks it up on its own data 
base. If it doesn't find it  the app looks it up on Google, or another search 
engine and if that doesn't work it looks it up on your device to find if you 
recorded the description.
Sometimes you get a more button that gives you ingredients and cooking 
instructions.

Zombies, Run

2014-05-15 Thread Phil Vlasak
Hi Tess,
I am not sure you have the correct game,
Zombies, Run by Adrian Hon of Six to Start's is somewhat accessible. 
Zombies, Run is written by award-winning novelist Naomi Alderman. 
https://www.zombiesrungame.com/

You tie your shoes, put on your headphones, take your first steps outside. 
You've barely covered 100 yards when you hear them. They must be close. You can 
hear every guttural breath, every rattling groan - they're everywhere. Zombies. 
There's only one thing you can do: Run!
You're Runner 5. Hundreds of lives are counting on you. You've got to help your 
base rebuild from the ruins of civilization by collecting critical supplies 
while avoiding roving zombie hordes. Can you save them and learn the truth 
about the zombie apocalypse?

Automatically collect crucial items for your base as you run, plus artefacts, 
notes, voice recordings, and more
Use the items you've collected to develop your base and help your surviving 
population thrive. With a bigger base comes more missions and some unexpected 
surprises. 
Running Game  Audio Adventure
Zombies, Run! is an ultra-immersive running game for the iPhone, iPod Touch, 
Android and Windows Phone. We deliver the story straight to your headphones 
through orders and voice recordings - and back home, you can build and grow 
your base with the items you've collected.

Run Anywhere
Zombies, Run! works anywhere and at any speed. You can jog in a park, run along 
a beach, or walk along a trail, even on treadmills! 

Keep the survivors alive
You automatically collect items like medicine, batteries, first aid kits, 
baseball bats, underwear and ammo while running - but when you're back home, 
who needs them more: the soldiers or the doctors? Which buildings need extra 
defenses? It's up to you - and the bigger your base, the more missions you can 
play. 
Where did the zombies come from? What are the leaders of your base planning? 
There's a deeper mystery to be uncovered, puzzles to be solved, websites to be 
discovered, documents to be viewed so you can learn the truth of what's 
happened to the world.

Choose your own custom playlists before you start running: the story unfolds in 
between your tracks through a series of dynamic radio messages and voice 
recordings.
With 30 missions and over 40 runs worth of gameplay, you become the hero in an 
epic story of humanity's struggle for survival where your running really 
matters - and there's a deeper mystery to be uncovered as well.

Better Fitness Through Science
Coming Soon: Zombies, Run! records the distance, time, pace, and calories 
burned of all your runs, and we're planning RunKeeper integration. You can also 
hear audio notifications for time, distance, and pace during your run.

Using voice over, a blind person has played the first few levels of Zombies 
Run! He can't figure out how to assign the supplies he has recovered or how to 
build the hospital. 
it is currently not possible to assign supplies or put up buildings, I know 
that at least two people have contacted the developers, and they said that a 
solution was being worked on, but it could be a few months before it was 
released.
Christina wrote You can now assign your own supplies by creating a zombielink 
account online 
at www.zombiesrungame.com 
You then log into your account via the settings menu in the Zombies Run app on 
your phone. 
This way, you can assign supplies on your computer and will update your app. 
The website is accessible; I had no problem assigning supplies. 
alex wrote Another way is to extract the audio files from the app, and listen 
to them on the computer as they are ordinary mp3s.
yes I know its cheating, but why should I have to wait for the developers to 
take there time getting the app accessible.
I mostly got the app for the story anyway, not for the fitness element.
Amy wrote, But really, running away from zombies with this app is probably the 
most exciting workout ever. It's incredibly immersive, and the stoyline feels 
like a novel. Last workout, my helicopter crash landed outside of the base 
because a mysterious force shot it down with an RPG, and I was out in the 
middle of the desert with all these flesh eating zombies, and then this radio 
tower guy (with a REALLY attractive voice) contacted me and made me run through 
a hospital, where his old flame turned out to be, ha, ha, no. I refuse to spoil 
the storyline. It's too amazing. Also, everyone has British accents! I secretly 
bought the game for that reason alone. The zombies were a bonus.

Requires iOS 5 or above. Works on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPod 
Touch 3rd gen and 4th gen.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease 
battery life.
Accelerometer mode can dramatically decrease battery life.

  Hi Folks,
  Congratulations to For All To Play 
  They reached their $8,00 KickStarter goal for developing a for Windows, Mac 
OS X, and Linux game.
  They only need $816 to reach their IOS Mobile Version goal in the next 3 days.
  Grail to the Thief: An Interactive Audio Adventure 
  by For All To Play 
  from Worcester, MA 
  Grail to the Thief is an interactive audio adventure for the blind and 
visually impaired.
  for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux that can be played using only sound, without 
the need for visuals. The game has been designed with the needs of the blind 
and visually impaired in mind but is also designed to be played by the 
non-impaired. Our goal is to deliver an exciting, immersive experience in which 
the player will always be fully aware of what is happening through the use of 
voice-overs, sound effects, ambient sound and music.
  In Grail to the Thief, players make their choices through a conversation 
tree, eliminating the confusion and frustration that comes with traditional 
text adventure games, which require players to type in commands to progress. 
The game is a nostalgic throwback to childhood favorites such as Zork, The 
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Day of the Tentacle, and Grim Fandango, and 
draws inspiration from old BBC radio dramas and the movie Time Bandits.
  The game stars Hank Krang, a dirty thief from the near future, who recently 
had a self-aware time machine called the Time Excursion Digital Interface, or 
TEDI, fall into his lap after a poker game. He has decided to use this 
technology to go throughout time, stealing priceless artifacts. On his first 
adventure, Grail to the Thief, Hank travels to Arthurian times in search of the 
Holy Grail.
  The idea for the game came about when we were conducting research into game 
design for the visually impaired. During this time, we conducted interviews at 
Perkins School for the Blind and performed extensive research which led us to 
discover that few games are available to the blind and visually impaired, and 
many of the games that are available are severely dated, lack the quality and 
polish of games for the sighted, and rely on synthesized computer voices such 
as screen readers in order to play.
  Grail to the Thief is designed to address these problems, and the game will 
be just as accessible and exciting an experience for the blind and visually 
impaired as it will be for the non-impaired. Your funding will help us deliver 
an interactive audio adventure with an engaging story, interesting characters, 
professional voiceovers and sound effects, and accessible controls. The game 
will be available as a DRM-free download for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux in 
August 2014.
  Play the Prototype! 
  We developed a browser based prototype of Grail to the Thief. The prototype 
requires Google Chrome or Opera and is accessible at 
foralltoplay.com/prototype. The interface and some of the audio in the 
prototype are placeholder assets and will be replaced in the complete game, 
which will be a standalone executable and will not require a web browser to 
play.

Subject: Announcing a revolutionary remote for iOS VoiceOver users

Hi everyone,

I'd like to introduce a small product our company makes for Apple iOS
VoiceOver users. It's called RiVO. We have seen blind people use their
smartphones quite well with RiVO. I'm trying my best to make people know
about the availability of this product from a land far away.

RiVO is a revolutionary keyboard-like remote for Apple iOS VoiceOver 
users.

The name stands for Remote interface to VoiceOver. Being about the size of
a credit card, it is highly portable and yet comfortable with big keys.
There are 12 keys in the middle just like telephone keypad, and there are 
4

additional keys on the left and on the right, respectively.

VoiceOver is an innovative technology from Apple and you can enjoy it like
a breeze with RiVO. You can also type and edit text fast and easy, control
music simple and handy. These features enable RiVO users to use a greater
number of apps every day compared to VoiceOver users without RiVO. RiVO
supports iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Android TalkBack is another
innovative technology from Google, and Android version of RiVO is also
available.

More information about RiVO can be found at http://mobience.com/rivo and
http://facebook.com/rivo.page. I hope RiVO is a convenient accessory to
help you find, explore and enjoy the possibilities of your smart devices
and fabulous apps out there that make your life easy.

Let me list some of the comments from RiVO users around the world:
- RiVO is the most accurate and efficient tool for the blind to use
smartphone.
- I have 275 apps on my iPhone and RiVO is really valuable and helpful.
- Alphabet typing becomes extremely fast with RiVO.
- RiVO is a must-have accessory that many blind people will appreciate.
- I have RiVO with me all the time.
- Getting beyond different levels of the gestures are extremely faster 
with

this keypad.
- RIVO's smallQWERTY is superior to the old method of alphabet entry.
- I use iPhone and RiVO every day, all day long.
- RiVO is an indispensable accessory to the blind.
- RiVO enables me use my iPhone precisely and quickly while on the move.
- RiVO makes me use my iPhone without having to be conscious of the
surroundings with my gesture actions.
- RiVO gives me the convenience and freedom to use iPhone just like those
who can see.
- We really love this wonderful keyboard that you guys have made usable 
for

us!
- I love my RiVO! I keep it in my pocket all the time.
- I am very happy with the keyboard's performance on both of iOS and
Android platforms.
- RiVO can provide relief to many users who are struggling with touchpad
interface.
- We were working with a customer who is blind, can only use one hand, and
has cognitive disabilities. RiVO gave him better access than he had ever
had before to a desktop or iOS device.
- RiVO will become a true part of my iPhone experience, and will make the
iPhone so much easier to use. You have brought a wonderful device into our
lives.
- This little gadget will definitely change the way I work with my iPhone.
My right arm is feeling better already.

advice needed on Freedom i-Connex folding bluetooth keyboard

2013-12-31 Thread Phil
Hi group,

I'm thinking buying on Amazon the Freedom i-Connex folding bluetooth
keyboard to use with my iPhone 3GS. Since I have never physically
handled this keyboard, can someone who has used it share with me their
experience with it?

This is the link to Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Freedom-i-Connex-Bluetooth-Portable-Playstation/dp/B003LO2FR8

Are the letter keys easily distinguishable? or are the keys really
flat and hard to feel?
Is it missing any important key?  I'm a PC user and not very familiar
with Mac - Are there supposed to be Home and End keys on Mac
keyboard?
What are the pro's and con's of this keyboard in your opinion, and
what other keyboard that can fit into pants pocket and still type with
all 10 fingers would you recommend?
Is this Freedom i-Connex folding keyboard compatible with later
version sof iPhone, like iPhone 5?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Phil

Re: DoItWrite 1.0 for iPhone from Draconis Entertainment

2013-11-17 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Josh,
You stated that punctuation might be in a future version of DoItWrite.
I can predict that there would be problems with learning punctuation marks.
How does the phone distinguish between an accent, grave accent and a comma,
or a dash, hyphen and an underscore?
Then some of them are very complex such as the and sign and at sign.
Is the quote sign, two marks like commas or just one?
And can you do left and right quotes?
And what does a carrot look like? A jay with a peaked hat?
I'm guessing most people only need to know how to make the period for most 
short messages.
Phil

2013-11-16 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Josh,
I bought DoItWrite and it's great!
I love the Automatic feedback and coach via voice over and sound effects.
It would be nice to have a score of how many times you got each letter 
correct.

And how about a tutor of punctuation marks?
I didn't notice that they were included.
I didn't try the game yet.
Thanks,

Freeq by Psychic Bunny

2013-09-22 Thread Phil Vlasak

Freeq
FREEQ is an audio adventure game for iPhone and android mobile devices
$4.99 USD
by Psychic Bunny
An audio adventure game that gives you the amazing ability to tune in to 
phone calls and radio signals from the past or future. You can essentially 
travel through time and change the world.


After a major disaster, there's only one society left on Earth. You can use 
your powerful tool to tune in to their dramatic conversations about affairs, 
arguments, experiments, and more.


This is nothing like the games you're used to playing on your iPhone.

There are plenty of instructions to read through before you get started. I 
do actually recommend reading them all so you don't find things confusing 
once you start searching for signals to hijack.
Hijacking a phone line is done in two stages. The first involves tilting 
your phone until you find a signal and the second involves a switchboard 
where you have to decide who to connect with. If you don't make your 
decision quickly enough, you'll lose your signal and end up back at the 
first stage.


The story you end up being a part of depends on who you connect with and 
when you make make the connections. It's worth listening to the 
conversations carefully so you can decide on what connections to make next. 
Every conversation you create will give you more clues about what actually 
caused the world to end.


The actual process of finding signals and hijacking conversations is quite 
repetitive. This app is entertaining because of the stories. The fact that 
some people know that you're listening to their conversations makes it even 
more interesting. After listening to a few phone calls, you'll really want 
to know how the story ends and what happens to the characters involved.
If you're the type who enjoys interactive stories and radio shows, you'll 
love FREEQ. It's also worth checking out if you're getting bored with normal 
iPhone games and want to try something completely different.


Version 1.2
Accessibility Update! FREEQ is now usable for blind and low-vision players.
Audio instructions are in-game for further information.
It has an accessibility mode that uses voiceover like jestures, that being 
flick  and double tap. To activate it, you put your thumb and finger 
together then slide them both away from each other, like the opposite of a 
pinch in smack me.

Re: Freeq by Psychic Bunny

2013-09-22 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Folks,
Aaron and Brad on the Audio Games forum have written about how to get the 
game to work.

You need to turn voiceover off.
With IOS 7, Siri can do that for you.
Then when the game starts. pintch your fingers together away from the 
screen, put them on the screen and slide them apart.

Now the game will act like voiceover is on.

It has an accessibility mode that uses voiceover like jestures, that being 
flick  and double tap. To activate it, you put your thumb and finger 
together then slide them both away from each other, like the opposite of a 
pinch in smack me.

Re: stereo Recording app for the iPhone with no mic?

2013-09-16 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi,
I googled this and came up with a fake app with a demonstration on Youtube.
After giving the name of the app and demonstrating it the video ended up 
with it as an April Fools joke.
He used two iPhones recording at the same time on either side of a table, 
and he combined the two mono recordings to create a stereo recording.
The operating system doesn't allow both microphones to be used for recording 
at the same time.

I once heard of an app that could use both microphones in your phone

that app, and if it is still even available on the app store?

Fwd: Looking for participants in Chicago area for accessibility research (with incentives)

2013-06-10 Thread Phil
Hi group,

This accessibility and usability research project is starting in June
running through August and they are looking for blind and low vision
participants from Chicago area.  Sounds like a great opportunity to
have our say to improve accessibility of instant messenger clients on
iOS/Mac device as well as Android and Windows device.
And participants will be compensated.
Please see below.

Phil


Starting in mid-June and throughout the summer, the GfK usability
research team will conduct a number of usability tests with
individuals who are blind or have low vision and who use instant
messenger (IM) software to communicate with others.

By volunteering to participate in this research, you will have the
opportunity to influence changes in the way digital communication
tools support accessibility and universal design to allow people with
disabilities to communicate and stay connected with friends, family,
and colleagues.  Major software manufacturers are making heavy
investments to address accessibility in communication tools across
PCs, Macs, smartphones, tablets, and mobile devices, and this is your
opportunity to have a voice in those changes.

We will be asking willing participants to come to a research facility
in the Chicago metro area for a one-on-one interview lasting
approximately two hours.  Participants will be compensated $150 for
their time.

Interested respondents are invited to provide some preliminary
information to the research team by filling out an online survey.
Those who qualify will be contacted directly with more details and to
schedule interviews.

Please click the link below to be directed to the online survey,
hosted by Survey Monkey. The survey should take about 10 minutes. All
responses to the survey will be kept confidential by GfK, and only the
immediate UX research team will have access to them.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/usabilityforblindandlv

Thank you for your interest in helping to make communication tools
accessible and useable for all.

Sincerely,

Kirsten Jerch, Senior Lead UX Specialist, GfK UX
Jessica Buttimer, Senior Research Director, GfK UX

Re: where do I type my statis?

2013-04-25 Thread Phil Ewin
The answer seems to be that you can do it by default, the keyboard is at the 
bottom to type on, and in the place that first says what's on your mind, 
that is an open text area, even if it doesn't say so.  just type, and it'll 
get rid of the bit about on your mind and put your text.  I just did it, the 
first time I did a status from my newish 4S.  I cheat, I use BrailleTouch

updated Word Guess Collection.

2013-04-05 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Folks,
They updated Word Guess Collection, a game for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad 
April 05, 2013

Version: 1.3

by Yohann C. Taieb:
Word Guess Collection game brings back the classic hangman game concept with 
a twist! Challenge yourself by guessing words within different categories 
such as pets, musical instruments, candies, colors, superheroes, fruits, 
professions, Christmas, Halloween, sports, and much more! The game keeps 
track of your progress for each categories, and gives you the opportunity to 
earn a reward badge for each category completed.


Just double tap on the letters that you think go into the answer. After you 
tap on the three letters to answer a clue, it will automatically fill it in

and then the clue will say solved in front it it. So if you think an answer
might be hat, double tap on the H, then an A, and then a t. You will either 
hear a noise letting you know it was correct or incorrect.


Another good tip is make sure you have characters checked in your
rotor so you can move letter for letter when looking at the word you are 
trying to guess, otherwise, VoiceOver won't read the blank spaces in the 
word.

The update  fixed some voiceover problems.
It is free.

Re: Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update

Hi Denny,
I play Robo-E by moving my index finger around on the screen. Just think of 
it as a braill page and each cell of braille is a word, wall, ball ring etc.
You do have to swipe the screen to move Robo-E and to push the ball into the 
rings.

Robo-E to push the ball.





Hello,

I just downloaded this game yesterday and am finding it quite interesting.

My main question is how do the majority of people on this list
navigate the puzzle?  It seems pretty hard to figure out the layout
using VoiceOver.  The only ways I can see to review the layout is to
swipe left and right, or to touch the screen in different places.
There doesn't seem to be any way to flick up and down to review
verticly.  This makes it very hard to get a good idea of exactly how
the layout is.  It is way too easy, I am finding, to touch the wrong
square as you try to see what is directly above, or below, another
square.

Anyone else have a better way to review the layout?

If the developer is on the list, can they let us know why a flick up
and down option can't be put in, so that it is easier to get the
overall layout down?

Thank you,

Denny

Re: Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update

2013-04-03 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for the suggestion turning Vertical Navigation on
When the rotor is set to this option, the user experiences control of 
VoiceOver which is similar to using arrow keys on a desktop computer. 
Flicking up/down moves the user up/down, while flicking left/right continues 
to move the user horizontally. This feature will be especially helpful to 
those who frequently navigate with VoiceOver via a connected BluTooth 
keyboard, as well as in grid-based games or table layouts.


The feature, interestingly, ignores artificial boundaries, meaning that if 
you navigate upward from the top row of a Home screen, you will find that 
VoiceOver focus has moved to the status bar.

Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update March 16, 2013

2013-03-18 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Folks,
Here is more info about Robo-E by MPaja software.
I hope it will answer some questions about the game.

Robo-E is in charge of cleaning up the galaxy from toxic waste. But he needs 
your help as his positronic brain is confused after a nearby supernova went 
off.


You must guide Robo-E in pushing all the red waste balls on top of the 
yellow energy rings to activate their transfer to hyperspace.


Robo-E brings you the classic game of Sokoban with beautiful graphics and 
and intuitive UI. Includes hundreds of built in levels.
Sokoban originally was a Japanese puzzle that involved moving boxes around a 
room. Without planning several moves in advance you could easily box 
yourself in. Robo-E is a spin on this classic puzzle with a Sci-Fi theme.
You play on a grid with walls, Robo-E, your character, balls and energy 
rings. You can have more than one ball at a time. you push the balls in the 
empty spaces  and finally into the energy rings.


Robo-E is playable with Voice Over, so for the ultimate challenge activate 
Voice Over from the device settings and play blindfolded, trusting only your 
touch and ears.

There is a review screen feature. By running your finger over the
screen the type of cell is announced and what is in it.
For the first three levels a hint is given as to what you can do.

As you go up in levels sometimes the grid gets larger and there are more 
balls. At level 1 the grid is 5 by 5 with 1 ball. At level 12 the grid is 9 
by 10 with 4 balls. At level 13 the grid is 6 by 6 with 5 balls.


The three finger swipe to move only works if the user
has VoiceOver on.

On the very first level you are above the ball in the starting position. The 
energy ring is below the ball.

If you run your finger from top to bottom, you would hear,
wall, empty, Robo-E, ball, energy ring, empty, wall.
So you just need to swipe down to push the ball into the ring.

Once a ball is in an energy ring, you can't move over it. Often you in fact 
need to push a ball away from an energy ring
temporarily in order to get access to another ball.  Or sometimes a ball 
sits on an energy ring already at the beginning of a level, but must be 
moved away, temporarily, to end up on another energy ring.   Only in the end 
all the energy rings need to be occupied to complete the level.


Both you and the ball are blocked by the walls, so once a ball is against a 
wall it can not be moved off it, but can be moved along it. If a ball and 
energy ring are on the same wall, only that ball can go in that energy ring, 
even if there is another ball closer to the ring.
If you move a ball to the corner, there is no way to get it out from there, 
except by undoing the move.
Even though the rules are simple, the locations of the walls, balls and 
rings make the game almost as complicated as chess.


This type of puzzle is very challenging, and your success like in a chess 
game, will depend on how many moves ahead you can store in your mind.


version 1.4 added new sounds and support for Game Center.
And Translations to Finnish, French, Italian, Portuguese.

There is now a different sound for moving one square, going over multiple 
squares, pushing the ball, pushing the ball over ring, trying to push a ball 
that cannot move, and bumping into walls.

Game Center support is also there for high-score tracking.

There is no free version and the price is $1.99 US.

Hi Peach,
This comment might help from a sighted player:
I have been looking for a good word ladder game and this one is good. However, 
with one easy fix, it could be great. The word you're trying to make is at the 
top of the page, ABOVE the word you are currently working from. PLEASE switch 
the positions so that the game is viewed in true word ladder progression. Other 
than that, very fun!

  WordCord lets you play the original games set by Lewis Carroll in the 
1870s as well as an endless number of new games generated by WordCord itself.
  The games have different word lengths and complexities, so it's easy to 
get started (and to get hooked!). WordCord will even help you if you get stuck.
  WordCord will let you celebrate your successes through email or Twitter!
  WordCord Free allows you to sample the full WordCord game. WordCord Free 
allows you to play 3 and 4 letter games.

TheCodingMonkeys Lost Cities.

2012-11-06 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Folks,
I found an accessible card game ported to iPhone and iPad.
TheCodingMonkeys Lost Cities.
Lost Cities Version: 1.20.
Reiner Knizia takes you on a journey to undiscovered countries and mythical 
places.
Compete against a friend, a stranger or one of 4 different computer players, 
in a two player Solitaire with an extra portion of suspense.
Lost Cities is a card game played by two players. The objective of the game 
is to mount profitable expeditions to one or more of the five lost cities,
(the Himalayas, the Brazilian Rain Forest, the Desert Sands, the Ancient 
Volcanos and Neptune's Realm).
You have five lanes, - red, blue, yellow, green and white. You have to place 
cards into those lanes.
However, these lanes start at negative value points so you have to build 
them up. It's basically a game that ends when the draw stack of cards is 
empty.

online matches against game center friends or strangers
4 different AI players with distinct skill levels and play styles
voice acted interactive tutorial and comprehensive rules
beautiful full-length atmospheric soundtrack
a plethora of single- and multiplayer achievements
fully playable via VoiceOver
costs $3.99

I thought there was a way to have VoiceOver speak the attributes of the text

I found out how to have it speak the attributes  in the Macintosh version of

Megafauna's Word Search + accessible game

2012-07-31 Thread Phil Vlasak
Megafauna's Word Search +

Word Search plus is a game where you search for words in a grid of letters.

Clickable word lists let you easily learn more about the words you are 
searching for. 

Learn about dog breeds, food, wine, books, films, art, science, sports, 
history, geography, and more!

Word lists were created by a person, not by a computer, to make sure your word 
list is always interesting and fun. Our clever word hiding algorithm means the 
words are hidden in a new and interesting way each time you play.

Free version comes with 16 categories, including a massive SAT Vocabulary 
category with more than 4000 words. 

100 categories are available with a paid upgrade.

Five puzzle sizes on iPad, three on iPhone

Tracks your record times

Includes an SAT Vocabulary category with 4000+ words

Stats area. Click Stats from the main menu to see a summary of your records 
and averages.

No timer option. You can now turn off the timer if you prefer to play untimed. 
Go to Options then More to play to find this setting.

No links option. You can now turn off the links at the bottom of the screen. 
This is a great setting for those who accidentally click the links.

completely accessible for the blind. Works with voice over.

Re: anagrams

2012-07-21 Thread Phil Vlasak

Peter Damen's Worder.
Worder is a challenging anagram word game which tests your ability to find 
words within a set of nine letters.
Worder requires no internet connection and is great for plane flights, 
commuting on subways and remote travel destinations.
The object of the game is to make as many words as possible, and find the 
one word using all nine letters too.
Worder has no timers, explosions or music, just sit down for a relaxing game 
of Worder, playing at your own pace.
Worder includes many game options, including a Shared Letter mode where 
all words should include the highlighted letter, or standard mode that 
allows

you to use all letters.
The minimum word length for a game can also be selected, which can limit the 
number of words that need to be found.
Worder also includes 6 difficulty levels, so that Worder can cater for those 
who are intimidated by games with large word sets,
to those people who are word game experts. Level 6 includes all words, where 
lower levels include a subset of the entire word list,

based on how commonly words are used in everyday language and text.
You can challenge your friends by sending your current game for them to 
play. See if they can beat your score.

Hi,

Worder is a good anagram game. I don't remember whether it's free because I 
got it a long time ago.


There are four unlabeled buttons near the top of the opening screen and many 
of the other screens. From left to right, they are

New game
Resume game
Instructions
Configuration
The configuration screen is mostly accessible, xcept that most of the 
unlabeld buttons are Info, and the final one is Done. Also, you can't flick 
to all the controls, but you can touch them. On this screen, you decide 
whether to allow 3-letter words, whether adding S is necessary, whether to 
use American or British spelling, and a few more things.


When you're playing a game, there is a group of 8 letters, each of which is 
a button. Double-tap a letter button, and the letter appears in a text box 
below the letters. When you have all the letters entered, flick to the Plus 
button to the right of the text field, and double-tap it. There's no sound, 
but your total number of words goes up and the word is added to the list. 
Both of these pieces of info are available after the text box. There's also 
a Cross button that deletes what's in the text box. If there's nothing in 
the text box, it seems to cross out the last word you entered and not let 
you enter that word again. I'm not sure why. There's also a Flag button. 
This lets you forfeit the game. There's no time limit, which I love.


HTH,
Anna

How to use the iphone in an emergency

2012-06-24 Thread Phil Halton
You don't need SIRI to voice dial 911. you can just press and hold the home 
button until the phone vibrates and dings, then say dial (or call) 9 1 1. 
That's it. Voiceover will say dialing 9 1 1 (assuming it heard you correctly) 
and proceed to make the call.

Re: How to use the iphone in an emergency

2012-06-24 Thread Phil Vlasak

Or you can buy this app:
call-911
By Tobias Werner
This app is an emergency caller for the USA, Canada and some other countries 
too, it was specially developed for emergencies with the help of paramedics 
and medical doctors !



It is as we call it a secure action app easy and secure to use !

!! This is the only app of this kind, which is certified by medical doctors 
and paramedics !!


We think it is the best emergency caller available for the iPhone in the 
world !



It has seven features, like no other emergency caller has:
- Shows you your current GPS position (you can give it to the paramedic 
mission control, so they can find you much faster)


- It calls the US, Canadian emergency call number 911

- It lets the iphone vibrate, if it calls successfully (in case you can't 
see what you are doing)


- Now activates the emergency call 911 by also just shaking the iphone 
when the app is launched


- SOS GPS email feature*

- Sends visual SOS signal via the internal flash, can be seen at a long 
distance !


- Shows your nearby position (geo-location), Where am I ?


*
SOS GPS email feature, which gives you the opportunity to define two email 
addresses for example of good friends, or people you can trust. In case of 
emergency you can send your current GPS position to these defined email 
addresses in a SOS emergency email by pressing a big button ! Of course the 
function only works, if network is available and your email account on your 
phone was configured correctly before !
The GPS feature works only if a GPS signal is available and only works on 
iphone with GPS (no warranty for correctness !)


!! be prepared in case of emergency !!


The GPS feature works only if a GPS signal is available and only works on 
phones with GPS (no warranty for correctness !)


!Works without sim card, or also with locked sim card too !!
For security reason the 911 number was compiled into the app, so nobody can 
change it accidentally !


This app does not include any annoying advertisement !!
This app only works on an iPhone!

What's New in Version 6.0
New user interface, secure action app easy and secure to use !
Now can flash SOS using the internal flash !
Now tells you your nearby position (Where am I?) !
Bugs removed !

Navigon

2012-06-24 Thread Phil Halton
Greg, the first screen is definitely the only one that'll give you a problem on 
Navigon. Fortunately, it's not cluttered, and there's only 4 buttons that you 
need to use. Also, along the bottom of the screen is a series of tabs like 
settings, Map manager etc, that are accessible. 

the 4 buttons can't be flicked to reliably, so you have to put your finger down 
on them, and then tap with another finger. The first time you enter Navigon, 
you'll be kicked into the Map Manager so you can select and load some maps. 
Just go down the list of states and provinces, double tapping the maps you want 
to load onto the phone - It'll say for downloading after you tap them. Then 
scroll to the bottom and double tap on accept changes. Then wait a good while 
until all the maps load - it can take a while.


The buttons on the main screen are:

1) upper left: Address
2) upper right POI (points of interest)
3) bottom left: My destinations
4) bottom right: take me home

place your finger in those general quadrants until you hear the button spoken, 
thenn tap the screen with another finger whilst still touching the button.

Address: is where you'll plug in an address that you already know.
POI: is the most useful in my opinion and is where you can find various points 
of interest nearby, in a specific city, or nationwide. once you find a 
destination, or POI, save it as a favorite and it'll show up in the next button 
- My destinations.
My Destinations: is a list of all the addresses you've saved from either the 
Address or POI screens.
Take Me home: is a dedicated button for getting you back to your home address 
from wherever you may be.


Take a good look around in the settings tab (accessed from the main screen), 
and figure out what all the various settings are.Any questions about them give 
a shout.

choppy VO on apple tv

When all else fails, re-boot! no kidding, unplug the device, wait a few

that'll reset a whole lot of things, and probably take care of the problem.

Pandora, the free version

Try deleting Pandora from the app switcher, then re-open the app.

The app switcher keeps track of screens and locations and such, and if you're

VO can be heard only through my ear phones

2012-06-22 Thread Phil Halton
This has happened to me several times since owning iPhones (3GS, and now a 4). 
The problem has always been lint, or some other obstruction in the microswitch 
of the earphone jack. When you insert the earplugs into the jack, it closes, or 
opens, (I can't remember which) a small switch that diverts output from the 
speaker to the earphones. When some dirt or lint gets into that jack, it can do 
the same thing and divert the output from the speaker to the phones. If you 
have a sighted friend, they can look down into the jack (its lit with a blue 
LED at the bottom of the hole) and see if there's anything in there. 

I've actually sucked out the lint with a good blast of air, either from my 
mouth or a can of compressed air and solved the problem that way. It may take 
some doing, but I'll bet this is your problem, and a can of compressed air is a 
good thing to have handy. Or, try sucking really hard on the jack (I'm not 
kidding). It may dislodge any junk that's in there keeping the microswitch open.

good luck.

do a search for the app from your search screen (left of the first home 
screen). That'll tell you if its actually on the iPhone, If you've got the name 
right that is.  This happened to me once and it turned out that the app wound 
up in a subfolder somehow and was the reason I couldn't find it on any of my

Navigon

2012-06-21 Thread Phil Halton
Another vote here for Navigon. I just used it to get to, and around, at the 
connecticut shore. Worked flawlessly as usual. All you need do is get past the 
main screen which is a bit touchy, and then the app works like any other 
extremely accessible app. I like it because it isn't dependant on a data 
connection.

BTW: from Lois's post I just learned what the unidentified set of numbers on 
the screen is - the Estimated Time of Arrival. That was bugging me.

CD barcode scanning app

2012-05-24 Thread Phil Halton
Hi Richard, I haven't tried o moby, but I have tried red laser. red laser reads 
the bar code, but doesn't have any matching material in its database. I think 
RL is mostly for grocery items - that's all I've ever used it for.

recovering lost iTunes files

2012-05-23 Thread Phil Halton
I had a hard disk crash a while back and lots of files got lost. But, I still 
have them on my iPhone4. How can I sync the iPhone with iTunes so that the good 
files on the phone replace the corrupted files on the Hard Disk iTunes library?

If I delete the files out of iTunes, then sync, will that put the iphone files 
into iTunes, or will it also delete them off the phone?

CD barcode scanning app

2012-05-23 Thread Phil Halton
Is there a app that'll scan the barcodes on CD's and tell me what the CD 
artist/title is?

I used Noogle Noggles for this purpose before that app went away and it worked 
great. Hoping there is something that'll perform as well for scanning CD's

Re: Accessible Fruitmachine is available in the App store

2012-05-13 Thread Phil Vlasak
Hi Folks,
I'm guessing that an Accessible Fruit machine game is a slot machine.
  
Slots or so named fruit machine games are surely belongs to the most preferred 
games online. Fruit machine has a colorful and exhilarating history that began 
in the 1800s. However visitors in the past required to visit a land based 
casino to spin a few, now with the era of the on-line casinos, everyone who 
have PC and web access may gamble any time they want. In addition a lot of 
online casinos let you gamble your favorite fruit machine for free or for real 
money.



The first slot machine was invented by Charles Fey in the early 1800s. It was 
named Liberty Bell. The machine contained symbols of bells and horseshoes on 
the reels and also gambling cards. The intention of the game was simply to 
obtain the greatest potential poker hands in order to gain. The users were 
allowed to hold the reels they wanted to keep and spin the others again, hoping 
to get a far better hand than the previous one. The simplicity of slot machines 
is the same as the additionally preferred scratch and win games. All you need 
is pure luck to gain considerable amounts within a few seconds. That is the 
most important reason why those types of games are so common amongst the online 
gamblers all around the world.

Navigon

2012-05-08 Thread Phil Halton
Hi Eric,

That's exactly what I was talking about. And, that's exactly what I used to do 
when I last used Navigon (last summer). Last week I went on a road trip and 
used Navigon. It worked fine, but I couldn't get her to repeat herself by 
tapping on the mileage number you spoke of.

Maybe the iPhone, or Navigon, was just acting persnickity that day. Who knows - 
I'll try it again.

thanks

P.S. have you done this recently? like, since the last few updates? or, like 
me, has it been a while since you've used that functionality.

Fostex AR-4i ap?

2012-04-21 Thread Phil Halton
I have the app, as well as the Fostex iPhone camera mount, and it works great 
for the iPhone 4, and I assume, because the 4s is the same frame as the 4, that 
it will work fine with the fostex hardware/app as well.

I shot a video with the fostex a while back using the fostex and iPhone4. its 
on youtube, search for Philhalt, and the video is called alabama banjo dream.
