Re: Mantis Q40?
The QBraille input also connects through the standard Bluetooth because it works as a standard QWERTY keyboard. The braille output connects through the braille display section in VoiceOver settings. Is this similar to the Mantis arrangement? Kind regards, David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA On 6 August 2020 08:33:43 joseph hodge wrote: Hi my name is Joe and I work at APH in quality assurance. To answer your question no the Orbit writer won’t connect the same way. The reason the Mantis does and also our Chameleon does is the new hid standard. Thats the standard Microsoft apple and others worked on. Its still new and I believe currently were the only one supporting this. I believe the Orbit does on the Mac but not on the iPhone currently. If I can help in any other way please let me know. On Aug 5, 2020, at 5:29 PM, Les Kriegler wrote: Hi Traci, Thanks for the link to the YouTube video. It was interesting that the iPhone was paired with going to Bluetooth settings and not going into VoiceOver and Braille settings. I know it’s not documented in the manual, but I do wonder if that would allow the Orbit Writer as a keyboard to connect? The Mantis is a keyboard, but of course, it’s a Qwerty, so I don’t know if that makes a difference. I’m awaiting my unit, so when the Writer comes, I’ll certainly try to connect a second device and report back.

it is possible for Max to get viruses. However, it is not very common or likely. This is because the Mac holds less than 8% of the computer market, so not very many viruses have been written for the mac it is even less common for iOS to get viruses as Apple keeps very strong control over the iOS app store.

Re: iPad Models
In iOS and iPadOS, go to settings, accessibility, voiceover, Braille, the more info button which follows the name of the braille display when right flicking, braille commands. Here one finds all of the commands, and the ability to change each command. It is customizable by braille display. In other words, the commands can be different for each braille display.

Re: iPad Models
four finger tap on the top of the screen move the cursor to the top. For finger tap toward the bottom of the screen moves the cursor to the bottom. For finger tap toward the left of the screen and four finger tap toward the right of the screen have slightly different functions. I do not remember these particular functions.

Re: Amazon fire tablets Accessibility with Voice view screen reader
The Amazon Kindle Tablets are very restricted Android tablets. They are low cost. Unfortunately, the screen response, at least on mine, which is four years old, is quite laggy. I usually need to tap with extra-firm pressure in order to get the touch screen to react. Also, Voice View is extremely locked down (not configurable or customisable). There are many Android tablets which are significantly better than the Amazon Kindle tablets. Some are not much more expensive than the Amazon. Personally, I will be upgrading to the next Samsung flagship tablet, the one which will replace the Samsung Tab S6. It has several features which I want. Also, I like having products from both Android and iOS. I currently have an iPad pro 10.5 and a Samsung Note 10 + 5G. I am planning to go to an iPhone 12 Pro Max, and the Samsung Tab S7. I want Braille Screen Input and the significantly better selection and copying features in iOS. I am only frustrated that it appears that Apple will most likely not be upgrading to the USBC port from the Lightning port. The Samsung Tab S6 allows Samsung Dex to run directly on the tablet, which allows up to 5 apps to be open in different windows on the tablet simultaneously, and allows me to do computer and file related tasks which iOS and iPadOS do not allow.

Re: Turning off Screen Curtin
Actually, in iOS 13, Apple has already given the wish. Almost all (I have not yet checked all of them) gestures can be reassigned. So, for the specific issue here: Go to settings, accessibility, voiceover, commands, touch gestures, 3 finger double tap and set it to screen curtain. Go to 3 finger triple tap and set it to voice mute. After making both changes, your system will do what you requested. Note there are a few unused gestures, and over a hundred commands which can be assigned to any gesture. Also, all commands can be customised for QWERTY keyboard, and for Braille display.

Re: Okay, It's Official, Mark Loves His iPad Pro
On the advice of a few people, I have switched to Outlook for email on my iPad. It works the way Apple Mail should work. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +61 488 988 936 On 15 Jul 2019, at 22:08, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries wrote: Hi Mark and Kliph, I, too, am becoming more and more of a fan of my iPad, and am seriously thinking that it could soon replace my Mac. But I have one question for the two of you. The one thing I really don't like on the iPad is dealing with Mail. I find it to be much slower and cludgier, than on the Mac when using a bluetooth keyboard. I'm curious about how the two of you handle this. Basically, what I want to be able to do, is scroll through my list of emails, reading those that I want to read, and deleting those that I don't. That seems like it should be a fairly simple and straight forward thing to do. But I am always taken into the body of the selected message, which takes me away from the message list. Then, I have to scroll back up to the top, get back into the message list, and repeat for each subsequent message. Have either of you found a better way of doing this? Kliph, like you, I'm using the Logitech Slim Combo keyboard, which I think is the equivalent of the slim folio for the 9-inch iPad. and I completely agree with your assessment of it. I love it. Thanks in advance to both of you for any thoughts on this. Cheers, Donna On Jul 15, 2019, at 1:01 AM, KliphnShari Miller wrote: Well,glad you love your iPadPro.

I have owned it almost five months, now, and find that I am using it more and more, each day. I am certain that my new found appreciation of the tablet has to do with the Apple Smart Keyboard, an accessory that makes iPad feel more like a moble desktop than a tablet. What I am discovering is that I enjoy the fusion of the hardware keyboard and the touch screen. This makes what are sometimes challenging websites for my PC and/or Mac computers much more easily accessible. I find that I am using a much wider range of iOS apps on iPad than I ever would have on iPhone because of the convenience of the Smart Keyboard. For example, I now manage all of the administrative functions of this group on my iPad where as I used to only manage it via my PC. Simply put, the experience is better on iPad than on a desktop; iPhone is simply too small and there is the issue of not having an easily accessible hardware keyboard for iPhone. Yes, I have a Apple Bluetooth keybord for iPhone but I much prefer to use the iPad Smart Keyboard. For so many years I was of the opinion that the VoiceOver experience on iPhone would/should be the same on iPad. I was completely wrong on this point. I'm seriously thinking about activating the LTE feature on the tablet but have not yet done so because I use it, primarily, at home. I have decided not to install any financial / money management apps on it because the iPhone works just fine and I do anticipate using iPad on a public Wi-Fi sooner or later, assuming I do not activate LTE or make use of my tethering option. Now I'm not suggesting that I would buy a tablet instead of a Mac or PC computer; but I am saying that the tablet certainly augments both my web browsing accessibility experience and my confidence in terms of accessing various software applications and challenging websites. In short, it is a wonderful addition to my other technology, not a replacement for it. As a ten-year iPHone user, it has taken a little time to get used to iPad and its

Re: Requesting Information on Checkwriting Apps
Hi, I stopped writing checks in 2003. I was banking with Wells Fargo at the time. Any checks which I needed to write I set up in Bill Pay. I added all the details and the bank sent the check on the day I scheduled. Now, I do not need to have any checks sent. All of my utilities and such either have direct bank transfers, or they receive credit cards. In some cases, the fee for using the credit card is lower than the benefits (points or cash back) which I accrue from using the card.

Re: 8-dot Mode under iOS 12
All braille displays work the same under iOS in 8-dot mode. Basically, brailling is in computer braille. Therefore, upper case letters have dot 7 included in the symbol. For instance, a is dot 1, whilst upper case A is dots 1 7. All punctuation follows the computer braille punctuation, and numbers are their own dot combinations.

Re: orbit reader and mac?
Hi Eric, The BliTab, which has not been released and is quite possibly vaperware, is using micro-fluidics for driving the dots. This looks like the lowest cost option to date, especially for half-page or full-page displays. I would avoid the Orbit technology solution. It is quite noisy, and they still have production issues after millions of dollars of investment and several years. Dot Corp (Dot Watch) and BrailleMe are both using variants on electro-megnetic strips with decent success. The primary negative comments I read are around the dots requiring significantly less pressure or they collapse. Applying too much pressure is quite common amongst the blind.

Yes, you are correct.

Re: Bait and fix: Apple is basically forcing you to get AppleCare for your new MacBook Pro
Actually, Simon, NZ police do carry guns. They are in a lockbox in the boot of the patrol car, and have a secure seal. If the officer gets the weapon out, there is a lot of paperwork which is required. Except in extreme emergencies, the officer is required to obtain dispatch approval before removing the weapon and loading it. Oh, I almost forgot, the weapon is not loaded whilst in the boot, and the bullets are in a seperate sealed compartment. And, the officer is required to fill out seperate forms for each shot fired. Yes, I have a few friends who are police officers in Wellington, and in Auckland.

Re: Getting data or pictures from an android phone to an iPhone
Yes, there are several free apps in the app store which will do this. I have not yet fully tested them.

So, I am waiting for the latest Pixel and Samsung phones to be announced on the 9th and 11th of next month respectively.

Re: Getting rid of the confirmation message when deleting a conversation in the messages app
Tim is correct. Once a message, or conversation, is deleted, because it is encrypted, there are no backups or delete folders. So, once deleted, there is no possibility of recovering the message or conversation. There were enough complaints by people who accidentally deleted messages or conversations that this confirmation has become necessary.

For Face ID on the iPhone X, double press the power button. Activate Face ID, then put the iPhone near the reader. That said, I usually use my Apple Watch because it is more convenient.

Re: Mac OS Start up Chimes
Hi all, According to the rumours, Apple will be removing touch ID from all the new devices. It is important to note: Apple has been on a quest to remove all buttons, switches, and so forth for several years, so I expect these rumours are accurate. I do not remember the spelling of the Chinese company, but their new flagship phone has Apple's 3D Face ID, and the touchscreen embedded fingerprint sensor which Apple was reportedly rumoured to be experimenting with last year. All the other Android Face ID systems are currently using 2D picture matching Face ID.

Re: Mac OS Start up Chimes
I am waiting to see what Apple shows in two weeks. I have already switched to a touchscreen windows convertible. I actually do like face ID. But, I also want the fingerprint sensor. I love the Apple Watch and the AirPods. That said, I am much more closely watching Android devices.

Re: Smart refrigerators
This is early days of smart fridges. They are working on developing the ability for the fridge to detect and report when products are no longer in the fridge. For example, if one adds eggs to the always have category, when the egg carton is taken out and not replaced, eggs are added automatically to the shopping list. And, the fridge that has an egg tray, it will keep track of how many eggs are still in the fridge. Initially, this scanning is expected to be in the door shelves because this is a smaller area to monitor.

Re: Absolutely at my wit's end with web browser busy nonsense
Yes, this is one of the reasons I decided to upgrade to the latest Windows machine rather than a new Mac. However, my primary reason is: Apple refuses to upgrade the Mac to touchscreen, and Windows Narrator is now quite useable. It is the only screen reader I am currently using on my new machine. All that said, my primary devices are my iPhone X and my iPad Pro 10.5. And, I will most likely switch back to Mac if Apple ever makes it a touchscreen device. Oh, and no busy busy problems on my iOS devices.

Re: First steps into using iPhone for orientation
Hello, There are no GPS apps which will provide the degree of accuracy you are hoping for. With a good GPS signal, the apps will get you to within a few shops of where you wish to go. However, many factors, including how big are the buildings around you, how clear is your view of the sky where the satelites are, how sunny vs cloudy the sky, and so forth. There is a free app called Be My Eyes which can help. When one gets to the GPS announcement of arriving, one can use Be My Eyes, and ask the volunteer to describe where you are. Be My Eyes uses the back camera on the phone so the volunteer can see what the camera is looking at. I do not use the bone induction headset. I do use Apple's Air Pods. I find that one AirPod does not eclude my hearing too much, so I am still able to hear the environmental sounds for orientation. There is an audio shadow, but I find it workable.

Re: apple watch buy or wait?
Apple Watch and iPhone count total steps per day, and flights of stairs climbed. Apple Watch also regularly takes one's heartrate / pulse. Apple Watch also has work-out profiles for running, jogging, swimming, arobics, and (I believe) weight training. I practice Martial Arts, but I do not ware my Apple Watch during practice, so have not checked for such a profile.

Re: Medical Tasksheets app
Yes, there are a couple ways of doing this. 1) Create a graphic image file of one's signature. This can then be placed into a pages or word document, or a numbers or excel spreadsheet. 2) Claro PDF Pro is accessable. Convert the document into PDF and import it to Claro PDF Pro. In order to actually sign, VO must be turned off for the actual signing, so a sighted person will need to assist with placement of the stylus. In this case, I suggest an iPad Pro for the apple Pencil support. Apple Pencil allows one to touch the display whilst writing on it. I use both methods for my job.

Re: I Want to Buy a HomePod But, ...
We decided to return our Home Pod for now. We are waiting for it to, hopefully, interface with our Sonos home theatre setup. That said, Home Pod definitely sets timers and alarms. It will say what the upcoming appointments on the calendar are. Unfortunately, this is currently only for one user. Apple Music is not necessary. One can either place music in one's iCloud account, or purchase Apple Music Match and Home Pod will play said music. No matter how loud the volume is set, the mic is excellent. I never needed to raise my voice. And, the unit was able to understand me when I was in rooms near the lounge where we had the speaker. The rumour is that Home Pod should interface with Sonos systems when AirPlay II comes out. As Apple will most likely not raise the price of Home Pod, we decided to wait until it meets our use case before purchasing.

Re: 3-Finger Quadruple Tap
If the code is a complete word, set the rotor to words and vertically flick to the word. When spoken by VO, use the three-finger quadrouple tap to copy the word. Also, when in an active text field, one can move VO to the start or end of the text, then turn the rotor to select and select (highlight) the desired text. Then, turn the rotor to edit and vertical flick to copy, and double-tap.

Re: calendars, time zones time changes etc
Hi, I do this regularly in my calendar app on my iPhone. Whilst creating a new appointment: double-tap on the start date/time field. The first field is the date selector. The second field is hours selector. The third field is minutes selector. I use 24 hour time, so I do not have an AM/PM selector. The last field is the timezone. Double-tap on this field. Double-tap on the clear button. Type the name of the city in the search field, then right-flick through the suggestions. Double-tap on the correct city and the timezone will be set for the start time of the appointment. Now, the appointment will always reflect the correct local time, even when one travels. I use the calendar to schedule flights across timezones, and this is tracked correctly as well. To do so, after filling out the start time including the timezone field, fill out the end time including the timezone field for the destination, and the calendar will track and show both times converted to the local timezone. The nonconverted times can be checked in the appointment. In my opinion, the native calendar app on iOS is quite powerful.

Re: Apple's iPhone slowdown sparks fraud lawsuit - CNET
Let us please remember that last year, iPhones with degrading batteries started shutting off automatically at 20%. People, including some on this list, really complained about it. Now, of course, many of those same people are complaining because Apple has instituted a fix so that their iPhones will not just shut down from overheating. According to the more in-depth articles I have been reading, The slow-down only engages once the battery pack starts degrading.

Re: Apple TV Questions/Considerations?
Actually, not very many Amazon Prime shows have audio description. For those that do, audio description is automatically switched on. For people who look at the ACB list, most of the shows on said list are not included in the Prime line-up. They cost extra to watch in Amazon Prime.

On the iDevice, go to settings, general, accessibility, voiceover, braille, and double-tap the more info button after the name of the braille display (after it has been paired).

Re: Seventh Heaven Apples, Anyone?
Yes, I found the upgrade to be worth it. Then again, my plan gives me a new phone upgrade once every 12 months. I upgraded from an iPhone 7. If I wait two years, I get to keep the old phone.

Braille display commands
Hi all, I am writing this message using a Refreshabraille braille display, running the latest version of iOS on an iPhone X. First, the braille display commands are not as limited as they first appear. Go to settings, general, accessibility, voiceover, braille, find the display, and activate the More Info button. In addition to forget this device, there is now a Braille Commands option. This option is excellent. It lists all possible braille display commands, organised into categories. Opening a category reveals the commands in it. Opening a command shows the command, if it exists, and the option to change or add a braille display button combination. Writing and reading in contracted braille works well now. I am not experiencing any delays thus far. That said, there is still a problem. When inserting text, speech keeps speaking the word after the text I just wrote rather than the word I just wrote. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to figure out how to go through the misspelled words selection to select a replacement word. Over all, I am impressed with how the braille display is working, especially for writing in contracted braille. That said, Apple has figured out how to edit text in contracted braille. Again, I am quite impressed.

Re: It's Official: Mark is on iPhone 8 Plus (smile)
The iPhone X is just a little larger then the 7 and 8. It is significantly smaller than the 8+ and 7+. However, it is the heaviest of all the iPhones. There is a rumour that Apple is working on an X+ which is supposed to be just slightly smaller than the 8+ / 7+.

Re: iPhone X review: 14 important takeaways from our first 18 hours - CNET
Yes, but it is a matter of degree. Overall, blind people tend to complain and resist change more than sighted people. In schools, blind children tend to resist change more than any of the other physical or sensory disabilities.

Re: Mark on iPHone X: Left-Handed Low Vision, Display Accommodation Users, Beware
Hi Mark, I am somewhat confused about your problem. I too am left-handed. I find the iPhone 10 to be easier for triple-tapping the power button. Holding the iPhone X in my left hand, with my thumb just below the volume buttons, my left index finger lands on the power button. If I place my index finger on the top edge near the right corner, my left middle finger lands on the power button. Thus, I am able to press, or multi-press, the power button with either finger on my left hand whilst holding the iPhone in the left hand..

Incorrect, passcode entry works on the iPhone X. I do agree that quick unlock with Face ID will be annoying as I keep my phone in my pocket and use it for some tasks.

Re: iPhone X review: 14 important takeaways from our first 18 hours - CNET
We do not believe a camera is useful for blind people. Just believing so definitely does not make it true or correct. In fact, many people believe many things which are not true, and no matter how many people believe it, those things remain untrue. Consider the camera for instance. Blind people need, and will use, high-quality cameras for: OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Object recognition Distance scene and OCR analysis and recognition Person / identity facial recognition Video connection to have other people describe items and scenes To name a few possibilities. For all of the above, better cameras using optical stabilization is key for improvement of the features. As for Apple's new face ID feature, I strongly suspect Apple will open the sensing ID information for augmented reality scanning. When this happens, specialised apps can be developed which will quite well describe room and outdoor O information, such as distance and direction to the pole, chair, table, bench, and so forth.

Re: alternatives to Skype?
Yes, and even better, they have call-in phone numbers in many countries. All call-in numbers take one to the sam conference system. Their free system only permits conferences up to one hour in length, and a maximum of 15 attendees. Their paid service permits unlimited length conferences, and the lowest paid service permits up to 50 attendees (if memory serves). They are not very expensive, and a paid account lasts 30 days per pay period (as of a year ago). I believe they also have annual plans.

Re: alternatives to Skype?
Zoom is the up-and-coming teleconferencing app. It works on iPhone, Android, Windows, and Mac. It is rather accessible with developers who keep accessibility in mind during development and updates. Several organisations that I communicate or work with use Zoom. I encourage organisations which do not use Zoom to change.

Re: apple tv 4K
In addition to Tim's comments, in most states in the US, it is necessary to add sales tax to the stated amount. There are only 2 or 3 states which do not add sales tax. Otherwise, sales tax can be up to 10% or more. In NZ, GST is 15%, and it is almost always included in the published price. When in the US, people know they will be paying more than the quoted price. In Australia, GST is 10%, and it is also included in the quoted price. Finally, as the products are from another country, it is necessary to look at the exchange rates. In many cases, once these additional factors are calculated, one notices that the prices are actually rather similar.

Re: Apple Watch VoiceOver volume problems
Volume can be set in the Watch app on the iPhone. Go to general, accessibility, voiceover, and adjust volume.
