Voiceover settubgs

2014-09-18 Thread The Believer
   Sometimes Voiceover speaks using the default settings for rate and 
pitch etc. Such as at login tho that is before I log into my account. 
But there are places where my settings are not used and VO is speaking 
too fast for me. I looked around but could not find where I can change 
this. I hope I can fix this.


From The Believer. . .
 . . . what if it were true?

Re: Alex voice

Alex is only available on devices with a 64 bit processor. Neither the iPhone 
4s nor iPad 3 have such a processor. It has nothing to do with whether Alex is 
available in your country.

Seems to be a hybrid of the two, so tap the right character and it is done. 
If you drag around like I do,  you'll still have to tap it when you find it.

I'll stick to touch typing I think.

Actually, this appears to work very similar to embryo. I was very fast with

keyboard work with braille. Anybody who's tested this thing know what we 
might be doing wrong to make this thing work?

For one thing, I think maybe that I'm not fast enough to calibrate my dots. 
I keep getting the opposite was that I want. For instance I want dots 456 to 
be on the right and that's 123 to be on the left, and I can't get in the 
backward.

 Hi,

 Direct touch typing works like this. And it took me a while (and someone

 If you've got a *really* good grasp on the keyboard, or have some usable 
 vision, it might be great.

 Essentially, when you tap a key, the key types. And by 'tap, I mean a 
 real tap, with absolutely *no* extra time from when your finger makes 
 contact to when you let go. This means that the keyboard acts exactly like 
 it does for sighted folks when VO is off. However, if you hold your finger 
 on a key, it will speak, just as though you had traditional or touch 
 typing enabled instead. That way, you could use split tap if you really 
 wanted.

 For my part, touch typing still works great.

 Now...if I could just figure out how to run Fleksy.

Re: Typing mode question

2014-09-18 Thread Eugenia Firth
Actually, although I still have a problem, if you do just the opposite of what 
VO says to do, you can get the dots reversed the way you would on a Perkins 
brailler. For instance, it says to do the right hand first. If you do the left 
hand first, it seems to put the dots in the right place. However, I heard VO 
say dots calibrated, and I got dots in weird places and they seem to be 
misorganized.

Re: Alex voice

2014-09-18 Thread Kevin Cussick
Hello,   sorry to jump in here.   I have the iPod touch fithd gen iPod touch.   
no matter what I do I don't see any option for getting the alex voice.   I am 
sure I read when I looked about the update you should be able to get that voice 
on the I pod touch.   can anyone confirm? thanks in advance.

 First, no 5S, no Alex.
 
 Second, you have to download it. Go into settings / general / accessibility / 
 speech / voices and select it to download. Bear in mind, it's 869MB so will 
 take a while.
 
 Next, you'd probably have to switch your default voice to be Alex in 
 Voiceover. Even if it says default is Alex, it will still talk with 
 Samantha's voice. If memory serves, a reboot of your phone should set that 
 right.

Hi,

that's not what they meant.  They are saying, if you don't have a 5S, you can 
not get Alex on your iPhone.  It will only work on Apple devices with a 64 bit 
processor.  5S, iPad mini retina, and the iPad air.  And of course, the iPhone 
6 and 6+ come tomorrow.

That depends on how much money you are willing to spend, how many

moving through a document.  I would recommend you go to any place you
know where they can show you different options and look at them.  We

Re: recommendation for braille device

2014-09-18 Thread Cheree Heppe
Cheree Heppe here:

Braille aware devices could be said to come in two basic types: displays and 
note takers.  Now, a hybrid type having some note taking capabilities also are 
emerging.

Which Braille device you may prefer is personal.  Unfortunately, a blind user 
cannot simply memorize one set of operational commands and then use those to 
evaluate every brand of Braille aware device.  Each company designs commands 
and key press combinations special to that company into their devices.  
Sometimes, the command structure varys widely even within one company's 
offerings.

I have not seen many of these Braille devices and can speak from limited direct 
experience.  I have liked a device not supported by HumanWare now, called the 
PK.  This operated easily and nearly silently and was small and easily 
portable.  It had good word processsing and other useful apps and interfaces.  
The company who made these, Baum Retec, out of Germany, now has a U.S. 
subsidiary in Massachusetts.  Their note takers are pretty useful, but I must 
admit to difficulty learning their command structure.  That could be me, 
however and your milage may vary.

I've heard of something for unfer F1,000.00 called the Braille Pen.  It now has 
cursor routing capability.  I am not familiar with what it can or cannot do.  
It is small and portable.

I guess I would contact the American Council of the Blind and ask about 
resources and user experiences with Braille aware devices.  You could also 
contact the NFB or your local rehab agency, providing the agency is worth the 
trouble where you are served.

What I did was to obtain a used PK and send it to Oehm Electronics in San Jose, 
California to get the very long lasting battery they have access to and to get 
the machine looked at.  This way, I could use the PK and maybe even pay the 
nearly $400 to HumanWare to get the last update for that device.  My PK I sent 
to Baum to be upgraded to one of their Pronto devices.  This will give me 
multi-connect Bluetooth capability and a lot of functionality.  I do have to 
re-learn how to use that newly upgraded device, however.

Hope this has helped and not confused.  Oh, yes.  A lot of people seem to like 
the Hymms (sp) devices.


Regards,
Cheree Heppe

 enabled such and such that I can start using braille tutor with and learn to
 read this semester?
 
 Best regards,

 There are a couple.
 
 First, no 5S, no Alex.
 
 Second, you have to download it. Go into settings / general / accessibility 
 / speech / voices and select it to download. Bear in mind, it's 869MB so 
 will take a while.
 
 Next, you'd probably have to switch your default voice to be Alex in 
 Voiceover. Even if it says default is Alex, it will still talk with 
 Samantha's voice. If memory serves, a reboot of your phone should set that 
 right.

Actually, although I still have a problem, if you do just the opposite of 
what VO says to do, you can get the dots reversed the way you would on a 
Perkins brailler. For instance, it says to do the right hand first. If you 
do the left hand first, it seems to put the dots in the right place. 
However, I heard VO say dots calibrated, and I got dots in weird places and 
they seem to be misorganized.

 Hi there
 Actually, this appears to work very similar to embryo. I was very fast 
 with
 embryo, but I must be doing something wrong because I can't make the
 keyboard work with braille. Anybody who's tested this thing know what we
 might be doing wrong to make this thing work?

 For one thing, I think maybe that I'm not fast enough to calibrate my 
 dots.
 I keep getting the opposite was that I want. For instance I want dots 456

 Hi,

 Direct touch typing works like this. And it took me a while (and someone
 else's explanation) to fully understand it.

 If you've got a *really* good grasp on the keyboard, or have some usable
 vision, it might be great.

 Essentially, when you tap a key, the key types. And by 'tap, I mean a
 real tap, with absolutely *no* extra time from when your finger makes
 contact to when you let go. This means that the keyboard acts exactly 
 like
 it does for sighted folks when VO is off. However, if you hold your 
 finger
 on a key, it will speak, just as though you had traditional or touch
 typing enabled instead. That way, you could use split tap if you really
 wanted.

 For my part, touch typing still works great.

 Now...if I could just figure out how to run Fleksy.

Re: Typing mode question

I have found the braille to be pretty good on the iPad. I never got MBraille to 
work form me on the iPad, but the Apple braille lets me actually type in 
braille on my iPad. I actually find table top mode easier on the iPad, though 
will probably use away mode on the phone.
There are some bugs but it's definitely usable as is.

 Sounds like the bug in Fleksy makes using it absolutely pointless isn't the

 quite awful and that Apple did for lack of a better phrase a piss poor job of 
 VoiceOver in IOS 8, and please don't give me the we should expect bugs in a

anyone know about problems with iBooks in IOS 8?

2014-09-18 Thread Donna Goodin
Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about bugs with the latest iBooks?  I 
upgraded to IOS 8 last night, and installed the update to iBooks.  Now, I can 
see the publisher's blurb for my books when I click on the Purchased Tab, but 
that's all I can see.  When I switch to my books, the list is empty, despite 
the fact that I have several downloaded.  It doesn't matter whether I select My 
Bookshelf, Titles, or Authors, I see nothing.  I had my sighted husband look at 
my phone, and he confirmed that the books are not showing up on the screen at 
all.  Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks,
Donna

 You have to enable speech in Fleksy and turn off VO for Fleksy to

 Hi,
 
 Direct touch typing works like this. And it took me a while (and someone
 else's explanation) to fully understand it.
 
 If you've got a *really* good grasp on the keyboard, or have some usable
 vision, it might be great.
 
 Essentially, when you tap a key, the key types. And by 'tap, I mean a
 real tap, with absolutely *no* extra time from when your finger makes
 contact to when you let go. This means that the keyboard acts exactly like
 it does for sighted folks when VO is off. However, if you hold your finger
 on a key, it will speak, just as though you had traditional or touch
 typing enabled instead. That way, you could use split tap if you really
 wanted.
 
 For my part, touch typing still works great.
 
 Now...if I could just figure out how to run Fleksy.

Re: Voiceover settings

Hi,

This sounds like you're hearing the system voice that's speaking other  
information.
You can change the rate of this by going into system 
preferencesdictation and speechtext to speech tab, and in there you'll 
find adjustments of the system voice, as well as the rate.

I concurr with Tim.  You might, if you ain't done so already, try holding down 
the power button and the home button for ten seconds.  this will force your 
phone to do a hard restart.  One note of caution about this.  DO, NOT, hole the 
buttons in for more than ten seconds or you will send the phone in to UDF mode. 
 This is where you'd do a hard reset of the phone's firmware.
