Online Banking While Using the iPhone

2014-09-24 Thread Matthew Chao
Hi, Folks.  I want to be able to use my iPhone when calling my bank 
and doing transactions via the phone's keypad.  Unfortunately, as it 
take a little while to find the proper keys, I've gotten timed out of 
the automated phone banking system.  Is there a overlay I can place 
on the phone while using the automated service so I don't get timed 
out?  Thanks in advance.

I don't know about an overlay but I use the ear buds when doing transactions 
like that.

The good morning everyone!
For those of you who may not be aware you can go to speed dots.com and purchase 
a layover for your iPhone which may assist you in doing over the phone banking. 
 Additionally, they provide layovers with brille markings for your iPad as well.

2014-09-24 Thread Ian Harrison

Hi listers.

I have just bought the mac book air. I know it comes with iWork's and ilife as 
a free bundle, but does it entitle me to load them onto other devices for free. 
I also have the mac mini and my trusty iphone.

Thanks in advance.

As far as I am aware the iWorks suite started to be bundled with the OS 
from Mavericks onwards so what is relevant is is the OS  rather than the 
machine.

KNFB Reader Does it work on the iPad?

2014-09-24 Thread Martin G. McCormick
The IPad I have is about 2 years old and came with IOS6
installed. I have since upgraded it to IOS7 and will upgrade to
8 shortly so it runs the right versions of IOS for the KNFB
Reader but IPads weren't mentioned at all in their list of
supported devices.
The app is discussed at the following URL:

Hello, I think to be fair it would install on an iPad, as it is running apples 
operating system.
I don't know that what results we'd get using an iPad, but by all means try it?
I think it's primarily designed for those using an iPhone. It's more portable. 
Let me know how you get on.

Re: KNFB Reader Does it work on the iPad?

2014-09-24 Thread Martin G. McCormick
I certainly will. Assuming the app will install and run
on the IPad, there are logistical issues. The rear-facing camera
is in one corner of the bottom. It will need to be suspended
over the middle of the reading area plus one will need a light
source to aluminate it. I like to build things so this would be
a good project. Modern LED lights are now available for the
automotive industry so maybe I could find some white ones that
would mount on a pannel. 
LED lights are relatively cool and don't require
anywhere near as much current as do conventional incandescent
lamps. They would also probably be easier to keep out of the
direct view of the camera.

Re: KNFB Reader Does it work on the iPad?

2014-09-24 Thread Bryan Jones
Hello Martin,

Here is a brief summary of my experience attempting to install and use the KNFB 
Reader app on my iPad. YMMV, and I am by no means recommending that anyone 
attempt to install and run this app on an unsupported device.

Having already purchased, installed  fallen in love with the KNFB Reader app 
on my iPhone  5S running IOS 7.1.2, I decided to ignore the stated system 
requirements and install it on my WiFi iPad Mini retina running IOS 8.

The app showed up as installable (already paid for) in the App Store on the 
iPad, and I had no issues with the installation process on the iPad.

The first thing I noticed after installation is that there is a pronounced lag 
when navigating the app’s interface on my iPad. There is a delay of several 
seconds when swiping or touching from item to item. For testing purposes, I 
ignored this lag and took several pictures of a computer screen and a printed 
text document, both of which were OCR’d and read aloud quickly.

I attempted to toggle on “tilt guidance” but it remained off, which led me to 
wonder if perhaps there is no vibration built into the iPad. I’m not sure. I 
also tried the “field of view report” a half-dozen times but managed to receive 
spoken feedback with the edge and clockface report just once. I did not attempt 
to dig further into any of the settings or options, nor did I attempt any sort 
of troubleshooting.

That was the extent of my testing. I am very happy with the performance of this 
app on my iPhone, and I imagine the Devs have some good technical reasons for 
leaving the current crop of iPads out of the supported device list.

HTH,
Bryan

Re: KNFB Reader Does it work on the iPad?

2014-09-24 Thread Eleanor Martha Burke
Hi Bryan and All, I could not find the option to download KNFB on to my iPad 
Mini first Generation.  However, I did install to my iPod Touch 5th 
Generation and can report exactly what you found below to the letter!!!  The 
lag was so dreadful I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it is now doable. 
There is no vibration on the iPad or the iPad Mini or the iPod Touch so that 
is why you cannot get it!!!  I can just find the 'take picture' button and 
double tap and then the OCR is fine and the reading is accurate.  Like 
yourself the app works great on my iPhone 5s and 5c.  Excellent app, very 
pleased indeed with it.

Re: iphone question.

2014-09-24 Thread Travis Siegel
Well, I finally got the notification from apple, telling me I could  
upgrade to version 8 if I wanted, so assuming your 4S has the  
capability also, you should be able to do so as well.  I don't know if  
there's processor differences that would prevent the upgrade between  
the 8gb version you'd get and the 16gb version I have.  I doubt it,  
but sometimes such things do happen.

So are you not in a hurry to up date to a 5 or 6 model.
I can only buy a 4S 8 gig brand new from Telstra so I was worried  
people saying the up dates can take up room so I hope it would be  
big enough.

I still use an IPhone 4S.  I'm still using version 6.113, only because
I didn't wish to get caught up in the vo navigation issues loads of
folks were reporting when they upgraded to version 7.1.  My
understanding now though, is that those are fixed.  I've been told
that the 4S can handle ios version 8, but I've not confirmed this yet,
so take with a grain of salt.
I have the 16GB version, and I've had very little trouble with it.
The biggest issue I have at the moment, is that sometimes (happens
more when the battery is low) when I double tap on something to
activate it, the phone will instead move to the next item on the
screen, instead of activating my chosen option.  I then have to swipe
left, and try the double tap again.  Otherwise, things work fairly
well for me, so interpret as desired.
