Re: Entering Unicode characters
Hello Esther, Wow, thank you muchly for your comprehensive reply here. I'm sure there'll be something in here to help me. I'll have a play with these things but in the meantime If I explain further my problem maybe you'll have an idea... Basically my keyboard, a Maltron right handed keyboard, is really designed for Windows but seems to work largely in a usable way under Mac except I just cannot find a way of typing an apostrophe. I'm sure there are going to be other things I can't type but so far I've just discovered I can't ttype an apostrophe. Of course I could press the apostrophe on the Macbook keyboard itself but a) it's a little difficult for me to do this and b) it'd be more productive for me not to take my hand off my Maltron keyboard. So I figured I could enter it by doing the unicode thing. I have now got this to work. It turned out that I misunderstood the layout of the languages and checkboxes in the list of languages in the system preferences, somehow I was ticking the checkbox associated with the language after the one I wanted. (A fairly basic mistake, I am still learning smile ) So now in the extras menu I have an item for unicode entry, and if I select that I can then hold down the Option key, type 0027, let go of Option and I have an apostrophe. But now that I've read your post there must be a quicker way I reckon. I suppose the easiest to set up would be have an apostrophe in a file and paste it in. But I'm very interested in setting up a string I could type and have it replaced with an apostrophe. So maybe I should look at the text substitution feature. This would be better than the current situation, but I did also read somewhere about a program called Ukelele which allows you to remap your keyboard. I'm not sure how accessible this would be and it doesn't sound particularly easy but I may give it a go... Thanks, I will read your post several times more and figure out a way forwards :-) Catherine On 4/14/13, Esther mori...@mac-access.net wrote: Hi Catherine, I have a general suggestion that should help you enter all kinds of text more easily, which is to use a third-party program for text expansion like aText ($5 in the Mac app store), or to at least use custom text substitution that you can set up under the Text pane of your Mac's Text Language page of System Preferences. However, I'll first try to answer your question about entering unicode characters. I've entered unicode characters, but not by the unicode numbers. If you're trying to type the more common special characters and symbols, then the easiest way I've found is to type these is with Option key combinations. I'll post some of these combinations (pasted from an old list post) at the end of this message. Please note that the Option key combinations depend on your input language keyboard. The ones I list are for an English language keyboard, and I've noted the differences between British and U.S. English (mainly a couple of instances in the currency symbols for pounds and Euros -- other English input keyboards that use dollars will be like the U.S. keyboards in this regard.) Also note that the description mostly matches what VoiceOver will say, but I use Angstrom instead of A ring, because that's how the symbol is used in what I read. If you want to know how to type accented characters, Anne, I, or others, can follow up in a second post about using Option key combinations. Depending on the letter you want to accent, or whether you want to type the accent by itself, you'll type these in different ways. Only accents that are uniquely associated with a specific letter, like the cedilla with the c in French, or the German esszett for sharp s, can be typed as Option+c and Option+s. You can also look up external sources like The Mac also lets you enter special characters using the character viewer. You can bring up this window from TextEdit or Mail by choosing the last entry in the Edit menu on the application's menu bar. This will be labeled Special Characters… Navigate to this option directly once you've arrowed down into the Edit menu by pressing Command+down arrow, or else if you're in TextEdit you can use the Command+Option+t shortcut. If you use multiple languages on your Mac, you'll probably have Show input menu in menu bar checked as a preference option, and have that menu on your status menu bar (move there with Control-F8 or VO-m-m). This entry can also be brought up with the Show Character Viewer option under your Input Menu. The Character Viewer window is accessible, and if you set the pop up in the title bar to Code Tables, I believe you can locate unicode characters by their code numbers. I've never used the character viewer with unicode characters. In general, you can find a special character set that you want, and put it on the favorites tab in the character viewer, but I've never found this convenient to use. It's much easier to copy

Re: Entering Unicode characters
Hi Catherine, If you simply need to type an apostrophe, then the quickest way to enable you to do that is to use your Mac's facility for keyboard substitution. This will let you continue to use your Maltron keyboard, but give you access to the apostrophe character when you type some other string. Here's how to do this. I'm going to set up a shortcut so that the 2-letter combination ;l when typed together, with no space between the semi-colon and the l, will be substituted with an apostrophe character. So the substitution will use the two character groups: ;l ' (that's semi-colon+l, a space separator, and the apostrophe character, so you can copy and paste). You should choose a convenient key or key combination that is easy for you to type on your Maltron keyboard in place of the semi-colon+l that I use in my example. Those two keys are next to each other on the Mac keyboard, and it's unlikely that you'll type a semi-colon+another letter without an intervening space in regular usage. I think the following instructions will minimize the number of keystrokes, but you'll have to use sticky keys. I'll assume that you have the TextEdit application open. Before you start the steps below, use Command+C to copy the apostrophe character to your clipboard so you are ready to paste it in. Here is the apostrophe character again on a line by itself: ' 1. Control+F2 to move to the menu bar 2. Press e to move to the Edit menu 3. Down arrow into the Edit menu 4. Press s u to move to Substitutions 5. Right arrow to the Show Substitutions submenu option, then press return 6. In the Substitutions window, right arrow through, and make sure that the Text Replacement box is checked. Continue to right arrow to the Text Preferences button and press it (with your up+down arrow keys if QuickNav is on, or with VO-Space). If your keyboard is set up so that you can use NumPad commander and this is turned on, I think you can also press the 5 key. 7. You'll be on the Text pane of the Language Text preferences. Right arrow in the pane. The first entry in the pane should be a check box for Use symbol and text substitution that should be checked by default. If it isn't already checked, check this box. Then continue to right arrow to the Add button 8. Press the Add button to append an entry to the Substitutions table 9. Type the letters you want to use for substituting (e.g.,semi-colon+l, in the above example) 10. Press tab, then type or paste the character you want substituted. Here is where you can press Command+v to paste in the apostrophe symbol. Then press return 11. Press Command+w to close the Text Preferences window 12. Press Command+w to close the Substitutions window You should now be able to type the letter combination you selected, and have it replaced with an apostrophe. You'll have to type your letter combination and then press space for the substitution to be made. This means that you'll have to press the left arrow key or the delete key to move back. HTH.

Changing Typing Input on the iPhone
Hi, Folks. I realize this may have come up in the past, but I'm stuck. I just bought an iPhone 5, and everything works fine, except that I want to change the typing input from double-tapping each letter to the more efficient touch-and-lift input. I've looked everwhere, and can't seem to find the solution. How do I change this? Thanks in advance.

Re: Changing Typing Input on the iPhone
HI. I suspect the reason you can't find it is that your using the rota when not in a text edit area, thus the typing mode option isn't visible. So, take yourself for example to the body of a text message, then use the rota, and eventually you'll see typing mode. Swipe down with 1 finger to touch typing and your done!

Re: Changing Typing Input on the iPhone
Hi Matthew, I usually just press the home button to go to the VoiceOver spotlight search field.

Emergency calls from iPhone
Hello, I use an iPhone 3GS running the latest IOS with VoiceOver. Being paranoid about security I have a PIN code to protect my iPhone contents. Is there any way (maybe an app?) which would enable someone who does not know my PIN code to use my iPhone to call my home number or the emergency services in case of accident or in case they found my iPhone on the train or in a cafe. There is a button labeled emergency calls on the screen on which you enter the PIN code after turning on the iPhone. What does this button do? I don't want to try it in case it dials the emergency services (999 in the UK). As a further complication I have screen curtain on on my iPhone to save battery life. If the phone were to be found by a sighted person could they find the emergency calls button? If not is there any way I could set screen curtain off for the PIN entry screen and screen curtain on everywhere else? I heard somewhere that there is an ICE (in case of emergency) facility in the iPhone contacts app. Does anyone know what this does? Many thanks for any tips.

Re: Emergency calls from iPhone
Hi Paul, As to your question on Emergency Calls, I believe the emergency calls button brings up the dial pad to enable you to call 999 or 911 in the USA. I imagine it doesn't allow you to access any other apps or call any other numbers as your phone will still be effectively securely locked. When the call is finished, the phone will go back to the lock screen for you to enter your code, and eventually the screen will relock. So, I don't think you need an extra app to access the emergency services. I hope this helps. Lewis.

Being paranoid about security I have a PIN code to protect my iPhone contents.

There is a button labeled emergency calls on the screen on which you enter the PIN code after turning on the iPhone. What does this button do? I don't want to try it in case it dials the emergency services (999 in the UK). As a further complication I have screen curtain on on my iPhone to save battery life. If the phone were to be found by a sighted person could they find the emergency calls button? If not is there any way I could set screen curtain off for the PIN entry screen and screen curtain on everywhere else? I heard somewhere that there is an ICE (in case of emergency) facility in the iPhone contacts app. Does anyone know what this does? Many thanks for any tips.

Re: Emergency calls from iPhone
You hit the button and I think from there you can dial 911. that's the number for the us, but I assume it's the same procedure in the other countries. Take care.

Matthew, In iTunes, you will need to select the new phone, and then find sync iPhone and that should put your apps onto the new phone. HTH.

Re: Unable to Restore to New iPhone 5, Please Help
Really? I just restored my old iPhone 4 back up and it did just fine. All folders and settings were retained. Oddness of oddnesses. Take care.

Re: Emergency calls from iPhone
Hi Paul, There are generally two kinds of ICE (in case of emergency) functions -- the ones where you can quickly get access to emergency information, like having your medical information about your doctor, drug allergies, blood type, current medications, and any existing conditions in one place, and the ones where you can supply emergency contact numbers from your home screen that someone else can use if they find your iPhone, and either need to get in touch with you, or have a contact number in case you cannot use the phone (e.g., you're in an accident). As various people have said, there are facilities for calling 911 (in the US), or similar emergency contact number from your contacts. None of these methods or apps are designed to let anyone use your phone for any purpose if it is locked. Various ICE apps will put a contact phone number on the wallpaper of your lock screen. This only works if they can view your locked screen. In your case, someone sighted would either have to know about doing the three-finger triple tap to turn the screen curtain off, or do the triple-click home in order to be able to view the lock screen. For what it's worth, when this discussion came up some time ago, I got the temporarily free iEmergency+ app by Kavapoint LLC: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iemergency+-in-case-emergency/id317958642?mt=8 This app regularly lists for $0.99 and used to be among the top ranked ICE apps, if you read the AppAdvice app guides: http://appadvice.com/appguides/show/ice-apps The problem is, it hasn't been updated in some time, and there are particularly complaints that it, and its successor iEmergency ICE Family Pro app updated for iOS 6 and the iPhone 5, doesn't really support the sharper retinal graphics of the newest iPhones. (The original app may continue to work for your device, though -- I had it on my iPhone 4.) If you want to give this a try, you can download the free iEmergency Lite version. I think it may have ads, and lack the option to add as much detailed medical information and contacts in one place for your own use. Also, you may have to choose a photo from your camera roll to use as wallpaper for the lock screen instead of just selecting the default image that came with the iEmergency+ app. In a pinch, you could just screen capture your blank Notes screen. You could even create your own ICE wallpaper for the lock screen by typing in the information you want displayed into a notes app, doing a screen capture to camera roll by pressing the home and power button together, and then using that as your lock screen wallpaper. Make sure that your screen curtain is not turned on if you do a screen capture, and the display should not be set too dark -- maybe at least 30 per cent brightness level. Here are the App Store links to the two older Kavapoint LLC ICE apps that I know are accessible: • ICE iEmergency Lite (free) by Kavapoint LLC (I would try this free version first on your iPhone 3GS) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ice-iemergency-lite/id321411203?mt=8 • iEmergency+ (In Case of Emergency) ($0.99) by Kavapoint LLC (the app I got for my iPhone 4 when it was free for a short time) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iemergency+-in-case-emergency/id317958642?mt=8 On my version of the app, there 5 tabs at the bottom of the screen: My Info, Contacts, Medical, Wallpaper, and Help. The instructions are under the Help tab, but you really only need to use the Wallpaper tab to input the emergency number, a short message, and select a wallpaper (or in my case I just double tapped the Preview and Save button, which uses a default wallpaper that came with the app). Then you go to Settings, and select the wallpaper you saved to your camera roll to be your lock screen wallpaper. Everything else is meant to allow you to locate emergency information quickly from within the app. It's convenient that you can just select up to 3 names from your address book and their corresponding phone numbers to use as your emergency contacts. But most of the app is set up for you to use this information in case of emergency. The newer version of their iPhone app, which was released October 2012, is: • iEmergency ICE Family Pro ($2.99) by Kavapoint LLC https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iemergency-ice-family-pro/id330058211?mt=8 I'd assume this is also accessible, but don't have any information about it. As I said, there were complaints about the images not fully supporting the high quality retina graphics of the newer iPhone 4GS and iPhone 5. HTH.
