[Mobile.AI] Fw: BBC Weather - App of the Month August 2013
BBC Weather - App of the Month August 2013 From: Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) Sent: Friday, August 02, 2013 5:02 AM To: tahahaa...@gmail.com Subject: BBC Weather - App of the Month August 2013 Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. You are subscribed to TechKnowMore blog for Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB). BBC Weather - App of the Month August 2013 01-08-2013 09:48 AM BST Body: The BBC weather app is a recent addition to the app market. With the current flourish of nice weather the app is a nice addition to your Smartphone. Information about the weather type, temperature, five day forecast is neatly displayed and easy to navigate allowing you to decide if you need your suntan lotion or umbrella. Where to get it Download the BBC Weather app from the iTunes App Store for Free - Download the BBC Weather app from the Google Play Store for Free - What’s so great about the BBC Weather app? The BBC Weather app is very intuitive to use. All of the information you need is organised in a way that is both pleasing to the eye and also easily navigated with both VoiceOver and Talkback. You are able to store a number of different locations and quickly switch between them in order to find out what the weather is like almost anywhere in the world. The app allows you to customise the information it reads including the temperature in either degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit and wind speed in either MPH or KMH. User Comments Emma, an iOS user has recently started using the BBC Weather App “When the BBC Weather app was released recently, it went straight to the top of the charts. This was partly because the iPhone's native weather app, which takes its information from Yahoo, is pretty inaccurate - when time allowed, I always went to the BBC Weather website for a second opinion. But it happened too because the BBC Weather app is excellent in its own right and it is fully accessible for Voiceover users”. “In the iPhone's native app, you have to add your location and information is only accurate to city. Internet connection permitting, the BBC Weather app figures out where you are and automatically serves up the forecast for that area. You can then add any other places in the UK or the world that you want to keep tabs on. It gives you wind speed, the pollen count and whether the day will be generally sunny or rain-soaked. And, like in the native app, you can unfold an hourly forecast”. Android user Dee has also recently swapped to the BBC Weather App. “As an Android user, who loves to check the weather for an instant ‘what should I wear today’ report, I have always found the installed AccuWeather app to be most accurate and completely user friendly in comparison to other weather apps”. “The innovative BBC Weather App is appealing on first impression because of its key content and climate conditions, simultaneously located on just one page. Again, well sited and accessible, using clear, large fonts, makes this trouble-free site easy to navigate”. “Alongside the Android app, its accuracy, seems once again very precise and can be updated in seconds. Unlike Accuweather, the BBC app has the facility to search by post code, district or current position and save such a location. Given that it is a somewhat new app, it may just have the edge over the Android app, due to its ‘search and save any location’ feature and the ease of having all the info on one page”.

Hi There are 2 types of small sized USB connector found on phones / tabs they are called mini and micro USB. Firstly you need to know the correct USB port on your device and get appropriate USB keyboard. This is available at Saksham from where I had bought it. I had checked all the commandswhich was given in my earlier post and they worked.

Re: [Mobile.AI] A few questions on navigating my android phone
Starting in version 3.4 of TalkBack, granularity is changed from withing the Local Context Menu. Mr. S.

I tried swiping up and down to change the reading mode, but even then, when I tap on the edit box, talkback reads the entire edit box. How do I address the issue? My other question is regarding talkback and the announcement of caller ID. How do I make talkback read caller information in individual digits rather than the entire number? What I want is for example, in case I get a call from 123456 I would like talkback to read it as 1 2 3 4 5 6. And to the moderators' attention, I still am not getting responses to my mail on my inbox, each time I have to check the mail archives to read the responses. But I am getting other mails from the list. Kindly guide me with regard to this issue as well, if there is any changes in settings that I have to make so that the problem would go away.

Re: [Mobile.AI] A few questions on navigating my android phone
How do I check the version of talkback. I couldn't find the granularity option in the local context menu and the latest talkback update came on the 15th of last month? How do I update talkback? I am using Xolo q700 running android 4.2. On 8/3/13, Ejaz Shah easha...@gmail.com wrote: Starting in version 3.4 of TalkBack, granularity is changed from withing the Local Context Menu. Mr. S.
