My phone no longer recognizes me?
Hi there, I'm hoping someone might have a good answer for me. If you recall, I emailed mentioning that there had been a change regarding my own personal contact information in my contacts list on my IPhone. Well, when I was using Siri, I noticed it no longer called me by name and didn't seem to know who I was. Also, I noticed that when I'd look in my contacts list, before actually going through the list, it would say something like My number and then say my number. This time, it no longer presents my number. Did I somehow unregister my phone or do something with the information my phone had about me? How do I recover it? Do I have to do something via Itunes, or go somewhere in the settings? Any help would be appreciated, please. Thank you.

Re: My phone no longer recognizes me?
Hello Jim and all: Hopefully you and your phone have not had a disagreement recently … maybe you did not take out the trash … :). No worries. I am presuming that you are using IOS 7.0? the my number entry no longer appears at the top of the contact list … so you are good there. If you go into accounts in iTunes, you can check your billing information. that will verify your name and your nickname if you typed one in. If everything is good, close out of there and give siri another try. If you would like something less exploratory to try, go to settings, general, then siri. there is a button that says siri on … double tap and turn it off. then double tap and turn it back on. that might address your challenge. Hopefully this information proves useful to you. Please let us know. take good care and I wish you enough.

Thanks, Patrick. And, do you have any answer regarding the questions I asked about my personal contact information no longer displaying my Facebook photo the way it used to do? And yes, I'm using IOS 7.02 or whatever the latest version is.

Re: Fastest Way to Scan Books?
Hi Sandi. I like the idea about the hovercam, but there are a few things that you need to be aware of. There is a problem with hovercam if you run windows under vmware, I do not know, if it has been fixed. The twain driver will not work under vmware. I have tried one of these cameras, it would have been great for me too, because my hands have difficulties lifting the books all the time, I had so many problems with that camera, I did not get very good results. I tried everything, at last I got sighted assistance, and he could not get these good results too. Maybe mine was broken or maybe something special with the light conditions maybe my books or something else. I had to send my camera back, it costed a lot of money, and they were very quickly to refund the price for the camera, so maybe something was wrong. I like the idea about a camera solution. I have had some promising results with standscan and taking pictures with my phone, but we really miss an app that will take the pictures itself and make a PDF that we can recognize with finereader.

It's fascinating and well written. You wrote: Eric, how well is the OCR after you have used the cam, i wonder, if that process is faster i might consider it seriously. In my experience, it's good for about 500 pages per hour. The dimensions of the scanning area are 8.5 by 14 inches. The scanning accuracy is about 95% on average depending on the layout and quality of the text. A black and white page of 12 point font is usually good for about 99% accuracy. It also has the advantage of not having to lift the book. I remember cutting my 2000 page html textbook in three back in my college days. I was scanning with a little cannoscan portable at the time and I had a broken shoulder, having recently been hit by a car. So, it was a bit of an ordeal. Ah, memories… laughs. I've tested the hovercam here myself and trained two clients on it this year, and they have both been very happy. The drawback is, you really need the kurzweil 1000 software to get the most out of your hovercam on windows, or docuscan to maximize it under mac. Your opticbook came with bundle software that you could use very well to do professional quality OCR. The hovercam doesn't come with good software and so you'll need to buy something more professional. I suppose even abby fine reader would do on either windows or mac once you have the images.

Point Finder equivalent for IOS
Hello, There's an Android app called Point Finder that allows the user to mark and name a specific point using GPS.

Re: Point Finder equivalent for IOS
I think you want Blindsquare. It is $25, but does what you want and a lot more. For instance, it can announce intersections, alert you within a radius (such as 200 meters so you can pull a bus cord), keep announcing where a point is relative to you as you try to find it, and more. It can even run in the background using A Capella speech.

Totally off topic
Hi, all! This is totally off the topic and has nothing to do with Macs or iPhones and stuff, but I figure if you use VoiceOver, you're probably visually impaired like me, or know someone who is, and I'm not sure who else to ask about this, but I'm wondering if any of you know anything about twon-vision books. I'm looking to buy a set of them that have Bible stories for children, preferrably with tactile pictures as well so that we can all enjoy them, or at lease ones that describe the pictures in braille, if not tactile ones. Some Docter Sus books would be nice too. I'm going on a Mission Exposure trip way up north in January so I'm looking for books I can take along to read to the kids and in that way minister to tehm about the love of Jesus. I'm also wondering about some good deals on boardgames, and stuff like checkers and chess, maybe soem card games and stuff too. If anyone has ideas, or can recommend good deals, that would be reat. I'd prefer to buy the stuff so I don't have to borrow it from somewhere and then have it get wrecked up there, and then have to pay back whoever I borrowed it from. Oh yes, does anyone also have any good recommendations for getting a goalball? I know this is totally off topic, but I'm not sure who else to ask, and I'm a colege student, so buying the stuff without having to pay an arm and a le to get it would be great.Thanks, gguys!

Lost voiceover audio after playing with Bluetooth headset…
'Hi all, I was playing with a bluetooth headset today. Now, I can hear system sounds through my regular speakers, but Voiceover is totally silent. What did I do, and more importantly, how do I fix it? The headset is off, so why would vo not return to my speakers if system sounds have? Thanks.

Re: Lost voiceover audio after playing with Bluetooth headset…
Yes, a few more steps. • VO-m to go up to the Apple menu. • Down arrow once to open the menu and press s y to go to System Prefs. • Press tab once. • Press s o u to move to the Sound Pref button then press VO-space to activate the pane. The rest should work like Ricardo mentioned: • VO-right twice to land on the Output tab. • VO-space to Activate. • VO-cmd-t to go to the Table of devices. • Up arrow lots of times to get to the top of the list. The first one in the list should be the built-in sound. HTH. Later...

Re: Digest for macvisionaries@googlegroups.com - 4 Messages in 1 Topic
Have you tried going to the sounds' preferences on your Mac? I'm assuming that this is happening to your Mac. If it is, if you go to sounds, and then select the output tab, VO-space or tab to the table, you may be able to select whether you want output sounds to go to your speakers or to the headset. If that still doesn't work, try shutting off the machine, and restarting it. If you can't shut it down because of no voice, (I know this is not the greatest for a computer), hold the power down until you hear the computer shutting off, and then wait for a few seconds, and restart the computer like you normally do. That usually works for me. God bless!!! Helena -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Mountain Lion Automator Problem
Hi Jane, The only thing I can say at this point is that I've run in to weirdness in Automator many times. Sometimes the workflow document gets messed up some how and I've had to throw it away and start over.

navigon or apple maps?
Hi list: Just wanted to get some thoughts on this. I have, and use, both Apple's built-in Maps and Navigon. I'm not really leaning towards one over the other at present, so thought I'd get some additional input. Which do you prefer, and why? Is one better in certain situations, IE driving, than the other? Ever curious one here. And thanks in advance! -John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Lost voiceover audio after playing with Bluetooth headset…
Well, I can't even tell if VO is on, since I toggled a few times hoping it would return to normal before I asked the list what I should do. I can't get the system preferences suggestion to work either way. Hopefully a sighted family member will come home soon. Oh, and as to shutting down, I'd really rather not do a hard shut down and pressing the power button does not work. Thanks anyway all.

Re: Lost voiceover audio after playing with Bluetooth headset…
Alex, I've had that sort of thing happen on one of my older XServe's at work. They don't have built-in sound so I use either USB speakers or USB headset. I've just tried it in the first state, whether VO was on or off I wouldn't know. If it didn't work, then I just pressed cmd-w a few times, Escape a few times for good measure, then VO-f5 to hopefully turn VO on, went through the steps again and it usually worked. If you get sighted assistance, that's great, but if you get tired of waiting, just try again after attempting to turn VO on. You really can't hurt anything. By the way, you said something in your original post about hearing noise out of the internal speakers. Is that VO noise that you're hearing, but just no speech? If so, you may just have muted VO speech instead. To turn that back on, you can press VO-f8 to open the VO Utility, cmd-3 to go to the Speech options, tab twice then press the space bar and it should turn back on. Later...

Re: navigon or apple maps?
How do those 2 differ? I use google maps, which I love for the most part, but my biggest disappointments are that it doesn't access your contacts, and from what I've noticed anyhow, it doesn't actually tell you whether or not you've arived at your destination. Therefore, if you have a paritransit driver for example, who's never been to your location, and you don't know if you've passed it, then you're just out of luck if you can't see where you're at, as opposed to Apple maps, or even Map quest.

Re: navigon or apple maps?
I also use motion GPS drive, and I find that Google maps stopped directing halfway through. Good thing I knew where I was otherwise, we'd have problems. I really do love Motion X though, $0.99 for the app and $10 a year for turn by turn? Yes please. I've had nothing but great results with it.

downloading mp3 podcasts
Hi all, I'm running Lion on my white macbook. I used to be able to download mp3 podcasts from companies like Hims by pressing option l I think when the file would start playing. How do I do this in Lion? Thanks, Stacey Robinson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Youtube videos in Safari
Hmm, I don't know. I'll have to check that out. Would it stay muted even after closing and reopening Safari, and even restarting the MBA?

Re: hq voices in iOS 7?
Hi Jurgen. Yes, you can still use HQ voices with iOS7. Simply go to settings, general, accessibility, Voiceover, and in the language roter double tap on use HQ voice or something like that. I also found that you don't have to plug in your iOS device in order to download the voices and more than one can be downloaded at the same time. HTH.

Re: Lost voiceover audio after playing with Bluetooth headset…
Well, I finally got a sighted person to select my normal output. Oddly, cmd-f5 was completely useless after that, giving me an error sound. The reason the computer didn't shut down before was that Xcode wanted me to install the new SDKs and agree to the updated license terms, which of course I didn't know. My question now is: is this a vo bug or something in OS10 itself? When using bluetooth audio, is there a way to switch back to the regular sound output device, perhaps an order of steps one must perform to stop this from happening? thanks. On Oct 3, 2013, at 7:09 PM, Tim Kilburn kilbur...@gmail.com wrote: Alex, I've had that sort of thing happen on one of my older XServe's at work. They don't have built-in sound so I use either USB speakers or USB headset. I've just tried it in the first state, whether VO was on or off I wouldn't know. If it didn't work, then I just pressed cmd-w a few times, Escape a few times for good measure, then VO-f5 to hopefully turn VO on, went through the steps again and it usually worked. If you get sighted assistance, that's great, but if you get tired of waiting, just try again after attempting to turn VO on. You really can't hurt anything. By the way, you said something in your original post about hearing noise out of the internal speakers. Is that VO noise that you're hearing, but just no speech? If so, you may just have muted VO speech instead. To turn that back on, you can press VO-f8 to open the VO Utility, cmd-3 to go to the Speech options, tab twice then press the space bar and it should turn back on. Later...

I can't get the system preferences suggestion to work either way. Hopefully a sighted family member will come home soon. Oh, and as to shutting down, I'd really rather not do a hard shut down and pressing the power button does not work. Thanks anyway all.

Re: navigon or apple maps?
hi, when i drive somewhere i use the map app that is on my iPhone. My only disappointment is this, the voice is so low that when on the highway you can hardly hear its instructions, and therefore have too move your eyes, head too look what is on the screen. Have not used Navigon at all so am not sure how good it is. The only thing i wish apples inbuilt map had is lain change assist, driving round copenhagen is really interesting sometimes without it. best Sandi On 10/3/13, Matt Dierckens matt.dierck...@gmail.com wrote: I also use motion GPS drive, and I find that Google maps stopped directing halfway through. Good thing I knew where I was otherwise, we'd have problems. I really do love Motion X though, $0.99 for the app and $10 a year for turn by turn? Yes please. I've had nothing but great results with it.

I use google maps, which I love for the most part, but my biggest disappointments are that it doesn't access your contacts, and from what I've noticed anyhow, it doesn't actually tell you whether or not you've arived at your destination. Therefore, if you have a paritransit driver for example, who's never been to your location, and you don't know if you've passed it, then you're just out of luck if you can't see where you're at, as opposed to Apple maps, or even Map quest.
