Re: Getting Started with Audible.com

[Kimber Gardner]

The only way I know to delete books from within the audible app, you
have to have the book playing . In other words, the
info/details/delete method can only be accomplished while you are
playing the file. So in order to delete all parts of a book, you have
to go to each part, start playing then  double tap the info button, go
to the details tab then swipe to the delete button. It's a bit clunky
but becomes easier with practice.

Questions about the Huffington Post app, was, Re: News apps.

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi Mary and All,

I just downlloaded the HuffPo app and I have a couple of questions.

There are a couple of buttons at the upper right of the screen that
just say left button and right button. What are these buttons?

Also, I don't seem to be able to move from page to page within an
article with any consistency. There are buttons at the bottom of the
screen for text zoom in and zoom out. I think zooming out let''s me
move from page to page, but sometimes this button is dimmed and the
page won't move.

Any tips for using this app will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kimber

RE: Cards Alone

[Jennie Facer]

You have to double tap the up-side-down card, and it becomes right, so you
can move it into the open slots. The object of the game is to get only four
slots open with all of them in suit order from king down to ace.

Hi, to move the cards, double tap the one you want and Voice Over will say
selected. Next, tap in the slot you want to drop the card into and the card
will move there. This isn't like the double-tap and hold and drag concept
which Kings Corner uses.

Re: square iphone app?

[James Mannion]

I have heard that it is accessible. Here is the issue though. Since
the device plugs into your headphone jack on the IPhone, you would
need either a braille display or bluetooth audio such as a bluetooth
headset to hear the output. You also have to pair the bluetooth after
the device has been plugged in. I got all of this from the Tripple
Click Home podcast from Serotalk. It is on currently the latest
edition.

along the lines of the Huffington Post, you can get the patch.com app and

I've tried them both, and I can't see the difference except that one has 
compass directions and the other has numbers.

Hi, to move the cards, double tap the one you want and Voice Over will
say selected. Next, tap in the slot you want to drop the card into and
the card will move there. This isn't like the double-tap and hold and
drag concept which Kings Corner uses.

Hey all. Just want to share that the other day I saw a tweet from Kim
Komando mentioning accessible ways for blind people to use the computer.
It mentioned iPhones, Macs and Windows. I called into her radio show
today and spoke briefly about accessible apps. It was pretty nifty since
it was my first time calling into the show. I had to hold for about an
hour and 15 minutes, but it was worth it.

Hey all. I let this thread go on for a bit longer than I probably should
have, considering the closeness between Macs and iOS devices. However
now this thread has deteriorated into heated discussions about screen
readers and whether people know what they are talking about or not.
Whatever the case is, it's definitely off topic when it comes to iOS
devices.

So, let's stop further Mac discussions. Please take them to more
appropriate lists.

Thank you.

Subject: Re: THINKING ABOUT A MAC!
I got a macbook pro just over a week ago, but don't want to install windows on 
this machine. I've been using it for mail, twitter, Skype and sometimes MSN, 
but setting up to play muds takes a lot of effort and playing around with the 
terminal. Pretty cool though once you get it up and working. 
Yes it was expensive to buy, but it'll be worth it, since I don't have a 
licensed copy of Office pro on my windows laptop and you can save things as 
word format with text edit on the mac anyway. /the only thing I'm not too sure 
how to do is make a table in text edit, although I did see something in the 
menus for that.
Just a final point for now, I think the sound quality is better than that on a 
windows laptop. I can hear voiceover just fine at 55% on the mac I'm writing 
from now, but on the windows laptop, I have to turn NVDA up to 85 or 90% to be 
able to hear it properly. The only time I've needed to use earphones is when 
talking on Skype or playing games, because the tintin++ sounds are pretty quiet 
sometimes. For that though, you can use the earphones from the iPhone if you 
have one, since they're apple ones.
Oh, I almost forgot to say, the software for the mac is either nicely built-in 
and very accessible (including the chess game), o else free or very cheap. If 
you wanted office for the mac, for example, you would only have to pay £89, but 
for windows version you have to pay over £400.
The only real thing I don't appreciate is having the @ symbol on the 2 key 
instead of the ' key as it's meant to be in the UK keyboard layout, unless 
that's just a windows thing.
Hope this extremely long e-mail helps,
Harmony.

often more than most blind/VI people can afford). 

I have 2 phones here: an iPhone 3GS and a HTC Dash_3G. I like the 
responsiveness and ease of use the iPhone offers. I had to spend $390 just to 
make the dash accessible, and that even required a sighted person to set it up

RE: Question About Closing Down aplication

Go to your app switcher. Press the Home button to get to the home screen
then click twice to get to the app switcher. There you should see a list of
yur running apps. Flick over to one of the apps; double tap and hold until
you hear "editing apps". Then double tap the app to delete it from the app
switcher -- i.e., close the app. If you keep double-tapping apps you will
close them and eventually your phone will say that the app switcher has no
more apps; you  can then dismiss the app switcher.

FW: receiving pictures as attachments

[John Riehl]

 
 In the recent book describing 21 cool apps for the blind is one called
Cards, which lets you create and send cards for birthdays, etc. One of the
features described is that you can use a picture you've taken or that you
have on your iPhone as part of the card. 
My question is this: If someone sends me a picture they've taken as an
e-mail attachment, can I save the picture on my iPhone for later use? How do
I do that?
Also, can pictures be labeled: "John at the Beach" or "Fred my dog guide"? 
I doubt if I'll be taking any pictures, but I'd like to have some I can send
to friends or use as part of a card.
the app in question, by the way, is 
 
cards  and it's in the app store, free, from Apple.

Re: Cards Alone

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hello Phil and all. Below is a message which I saved from a while back 
which was written by the Cards Alone developer and he explains both the 
games which come with this app.


I hope this answers your question.

> From: Iiro Viitanen 
> Subject: Re: questions about cards alone
>
> Hello!
> First of all, thanks for purchasing and contacting me.
> I have made more specific instructions and here they come:
>
> Napoleon's Grave:
> When you begin a new game and start going through the main stack, 
first you need to find a Seven to be placed on one of the "intermediate 
piles" and a Six to be placed in the middle pile. Intermediate piles are 
those on the corners which VoiceOver marks as "North-East", 
"South-East", "South-West" and "North-West" piles.
> When you have placed one Seven you can place an Eight on the top of 
the seven and so on up to the King. In this game the cards do not need 
to be same suit. Again after you have placed a Six in the middle you can 
place a Five on top of that and so on until you reach an Ace. After that 
you place another Six and start building down again. You have to do this 
four times and the last Ace must be the Ace of Clubs.

>
> The function of the "North", "East", "South" and "West" piles are to 
store one card at a time. For example when you start and the first card 
in the Main stack is an Eight, it's maybe a good idea to place that in 
one of those piles. By doing that you can easily move it to an 
intermediate pile if you get a Seven quite soon.

>
> In this game you are allowed to move cards back to the waste pile, 
which may help in some cases.

>
> Hexagon:
> Hexagon has six equal piles which VoiceOver marks as "Twelve", "Two", 
"Four", "Six", "Eight" and "Ten" piles according to their position. The 
idea is to start building the piles down so that at the end each suit 
will form one pile. For example if the first card you get is Seven of 
Hearts you can place that in one of the piles. If you get Six of Hearts 
you can place that on top of the Seven you placed earlier. Later if you 
get Eight of Hearts and you have one free pile you can place the Eight 
there and move the pile which has that Seven at the bottom, on top of 
that Eight. When you have gone through the main stack, you can move the 
waste pile to be the new main stack. You are allowed to go through the 
main stack three times.

>
> Hope that this will give you some tips and yes in Napoleon's Grave 
you are allowed to go through the main stack and waste pile just once :).

Try deleting Pandora from the app switcher, then re-open the app.

 

The app switcher keeps track of screens and locations and such, and if
you're stuck in some intermediate screen of an app, clearing it out of the
switcher can sometimes help.

Re: bragging about Kim Komando show

RE: Getting Started with Audible.com

[Jesus Garcia]

It is actually quite simple once you figure out or as in my case have
someone tell you how to do it see below.
You need to go to the info tab go in there then whichever title you were
pointing to should have a delete and I believe a move button though I could
be wrong about the move. Just double tap the delete button and again when
asked for confirmation.

Hi,

yes.  you can download books directly from the app.  I actually prefer this
to putting the books on my phone via iTunes.  As far as the documentation, I
didn't even know it existed.  lol.  The app is fairly straight forward.
Just play around with it.  The only things that is a bit round about is
deleting books once your done with them.

Re: Getting Started with Audible.com

[Craig Werner]

Rose, there is a help file on the Audible site associated with the
iPhone and iPod app, and it says deleting a book can be accomplished
by a left-to-right swiping gesture to focus on the title and bring up
the "delete" button.  I have no idea if this gesture has a VoiceOver
equivalent as I have not yet downloaded the app.

RE: Getting Started with Audible.com

[Rose Combs]

Yeah, I have never quite figured out how to delete books from the app,
generally if he is well, I let my husband do that, seems to be easy for him.

Hi,

yes.  you can download books directly from the app.  I actually prefer this
to putting the books on my phone via iTunes.  As far as the documentation, I
didn't even know it existed.  lol.  The app is fairly straight forward.
Just play around with it.  The only things that is a bit round about is
deleting books once your done with them.

With your earphones unplugged, do a two fingered double tap to get music
playing.  Voice Over is tied into the media volume, and I have had this
exact same thing happen.  Then keep pressing the volume up key until the
volume is back to where it needs to be.

And yes, my volume in settings/sounds is set to 100 per cent. When I call my
cell phone number I can hear the ringer, but when I hang up I still cannot
hear VO except through ear phones. Any ideas?

Pandora, the free version

[Phil Halton]

Try deleting Pandora from the app switcher, then re-open the app.

The app switcher keeps track of screens and locations and such, and if you're 
stuck in some intermediate screen of an app, clearing it out of the switcher 
can sometimes help.

Hi, to move the cards, double tap the one you want and Voice Over will

the card will move there. This isn't like the double-tap and hold and

You use 3D audio, put your headphones in, spin around

It is free in the app store. It uses the compass and

I am downloading it now because it sounds fun and is

FW: Where to and navigation and a VoiceOver question

[Richard Turner]

Hi all,
I just wanted to share what a great response I got from the support folks
with the Where To app.  I've already written them back to explain how
visually impaired people use the navigation apps, but I thought folks might
want to see what a truly helpful response I received.


  _  

From: Ortwin Gentz [mailto:wher...@futuretap.com] 
Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2012 1:17 PM
Subject: Re: Where to and navigation and a VoiceOver question


Hi Richard,
please see my answers inline.



Could you add Mapquest4Mobile to the supported gps apps?




Unfortunately, the Mapquest app does not support being started from third
party apps. So we can't add this app.



I could not find a "gigle" setting, at least I think that is what it said in
the FAQ section about setting a  default gps app.




Sorry, we haven't written this with VoiceOver users in mind. We'll fix this.
There are two ways to set your preferred navigation app:


1.  If you haven't set a preferred app yet, just use the gesture to open the
preferred app: long-tap on the directions button. Using VoiceOver this is a
tap, tap-hold combination. As long as there isn't a preferred app defined
yet, you'll be presented with a popover where you can just select an app. As
soon as you close the popover by tapping somewhere else, the preferred app
is set.


2. If you want to change your preferred app, you have to tap once on the
directions button to open the popover. Then long-tap (that is tap, tap-hold
in VoiceOver) on any app icon to start the jiggle mode. VoiceOver announces
this with "Started editing mode". Then a button named "Set Preferred"
appears on the top-left of the popover which leads you into "set preferred"
mode (unfortunately this isn't announced correctly in VoiceOver in this
version. Currently it just says "Ended editing mode" when it starts the "Set
Preferred" mode.). Now you can select your preferred by selecting it once
and dismissing the popover.


I know this sounds terribly complicated and we'd be glad to make it easier.
We were just not sure whether VoiceOver users could actually make use of
those apps because they are for car navigation mostly. If you could give us
some insight about typical use cases and which apps would be actually useful
for blind users, that would be very helpful to improve the app in the
future.



Also, I'm finding it hard to figure out how to add a place to the favorites
using VoiceOver.  It seems like I'm missing something here.
Thanks for the VoiceOver improvements in the latest version.



This is actually quite easy. On the details page, the button in the bottom
right corner toggles the Favorite state. It says "Favorite Button" when not
favorited and "Selected Favorite Button" when favorited.


Then to access Favorites, you'd go to the Favorites tab on the bottom of the
home screen and select the "Places" tab on the top of the Favorites screen.


Hope that helps. If you've any further questions, I'm glad to help!


Ortwin

Hey all. I let this thread go on for a bit longer than I probably should

this thread has deteriorated into heated discussions about screen readers

Whatever the case is, it's definitely off topic when it comes to iOS

So, let's stop further Mac discussions. Please take them to more appropriate

Just get the audible app from the app store.  You don't need iTunes to use
it.  All of the buttons are labeled and it is easy to use.  I haven't found
the delete book button yet as I am reading my first book with it and am very
pleased.

Mike et al, can the iPhone app take care of downloading books as well as
reding them aloud?  Can one bypass the documentation on udible.com which, I
believe, uses iTunes and a flavor of Audible Download Manager as the
downloading mechanism?

Re: THINKING ABOUT A MAC!

[John Panarese]

In addition to what Ricardo points out, if you actually look at realistic 
specification comparisons that have been done between high end PCs by the major 
manufacturers, such as Dell, and a comparable iMac, the iMac ends up being less 
expensive.  For example, the really high end gaming systems that some people 
buy are anywhere between $500 and $1500 more than an iMac with equal specs. 
When you buy standard PCs, you are getting run of the mill parts.  If you start 
actually putting in quality components, then you pay through the nose.  And 
don't use that age old response that you can put a system together piece meal 
on your own because that adds up in the end with the cost, shipping and time 
spent building it.  I've been there and done that many times.  It's not like 
the old days where it really did make a price difference.

 It's a good idea to actually do actual research before making uneducated 
assumptions.  On top of that, there is an old saying that you "gets what you 
pays for".  Buy crap and get crap.  Yeah, you can buy, for example, a Windows 
laptop for $400 or $500, as my sister in-law just bought.  However, I'd take my 
Mac Book Pro any day over that for the quality of the hardware, the operating 
system and the customer service.  She has had nothing but trouble with her 
laptop, especially in installing software and using it with external devices.  
It is, btw, an HP laptop.  HP tech support tells her that it's not their 
responsibility as their standard line.

[Eric SS]

And you wonder why Johnny can't read. From Reuters: Egypt find out their
next president on Sunday.

Another headline that caught my attention was Turkey vows necessary action
against Syria. Hum, it was necessary to say they would only take necessary
action? Perhaps they have a history of taking unnecessary action?

Of course, my favorite foreign affairs debate is, if Turkey was to invade
Iraq, would Greece help? (Sounds much funnier than it reads.)

Now, back to our irregularly, unscheduled and unnecessary programming...

Hi,

yes.  you can download books directly from the app.  I actually prefer this to 
putting the books on my phone via iTunes.  As far as the documentation, I 
didn't even know it existed.  lol.  The app is fairly straight forward.  Just 
play around with it.  The only things that is a bit round about is deleting 
books once your done with them.

Re: News apps.

Hi All,

Speaking of news apps, anyone have the USA Today app?  I got it
recently.  It says it is vo accessible, and it is.  However it always
crashes before I have even read through the list of top stories of the
day.  Crashing seems to be vo related though, as when sighted hubby
uses it, there are no problems.

Glad to hear CNN and NPR work well.

RE: Voicebook VO Notice

[Marco Migotti]

A feature that would be cool is to have the ability to join and read / post
to a group. Lots of companies are now using the group feature of facebook. 

I love the app very much and I am looking forward to future updates and new
features. It's good to know that facebook doesn't have to be this place
where one gets angry and smacks their keyboards or in my case, wack the bed
with my fist.

Subject: Voicebook VO Notice

 

Hi all.

 

I'm Ben, the developer of the Voicebook VO app.  Due to unfortunate
circumstances, I need to make everyone aware of an issue.  I have been
working on an update that will address many of the concerns people have had
with refreshing, number of comments, as well as some enhancements.
Unfortunately, due to some "under-the-weather" days and an unforeseen
Hardware issue, this release is a bit behind schedule.

 

Being behind schedule, you will soon run into one of the bugs I hoped to fix
before it became an issue.  However, I will not be able to get the update
through Apple's review process and into the store in time.  The app will
begin prompting you to purchase an upgrade when you with to post your
status, like and item, or add a comment.  When prompted, the price will not
display correctly.  The price is $1.99, and $1.99 is what will be charged if
you make the purchase, but the screen will show you a mis-formatted string
of numbers rather than this price.

 

Please rest assured that only $1.99 is charged if you wish to make the
purchase.  I'd ask that folks help spread the word about this formatting
glitch if and when people mention it.  Also, know that you may continue to
use the app for free if you are simply reading your newsfeed and related
comments.

 

I hope to have the Hardware issue resolved and the app updated soon.  After
these fixes, I've got some desired new functionality coming down the pick.
Please visit www.activeinfosys.com to view the product roadmap.

 

Thanks for your support!

Ben

Hi. They paid for renewing the domain. It turns out that apparently that 
was the only problem. So, no need to change anything.


Now, let's take this discussion off list or change it to another list 
where it's more appropriate.


Many thanks.

Hello Everyone,

Maybe I'm missing something here but when I open up FireFox, I get a message
saying that I am logged into Web Visum.

I have not yet modified the host file.

Yet, when I try to go to their website, it appears as though the domain is
up for grabs.

Do I still need to modify the host file?

Is there a recommended website for testing whether web visum is still
working?

All replies welcomed.

All,

A cautionary note, this resolves the immediate problem, the expired

domain.

It in no way guarantees that the service will continue to function
into the future.  If some one on this list knows those behind the
scenes with Webvisum, this would be the time to contact them with
offers of encouragement and support.  What would it take to fully
restore and maintain the service?  If you have a means of reaching the
maintainers please do so and please contact me off list:
len.bu...@gmail.com I would be very willing to directly assist with this

if I knew who to contact.

Here's a way how to make Webvisum working again.

Edit this file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

At the end of this fyle type this:

204.14.19.231 api.webvisum.com

Save the file and restart your browser...

Now WebVisum will work again normally.

Moderator closing topic - Was Re: THINKING ABOUT A MAC!

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hey all. I let this thread go on for a bit longer than I probably should 
have, considering the closeness between Macs and iOS devices. However 
now this thread has deteriorated into heated discussions about screen 
readers and whether people know what they are talking about or not. 
Whatever the case is, it's definitely off topic when it comes to iOS 
devices.


So, let's stop further Mac discussions. Please take them to more 
appropriate lists.


Thank you.

Re: THINKING ABOUT A MAC!

[Pete Nalda]

One thing I'd like to point out about this topic that'll bring it back home is, 
that ITunes seems to be more accessible on the Mac, thus making idevice 
integration easier.

RE: Rubber Ducky

[Jon Pierson]

Hi,
Some of the pods don't have compasses, this game uses them (according to
comments made on-list) so it's best to check around and see what applies to
your particular flavor of iDevice.

receiving pictures as attachments

[John Riehl]

In the recent book describing 21 cool apps for the blind is one called
Cards, which lets you create and send cards for birthdays, etc. One of the
features described is that you can use a picture you've taken or that you
have on your iPhone as part of the card. 
My question is this: If someone sends me a picture they've taken as an
e-mail attachment, can I save the picture on my iPhone for later use? How do
I do that?
Also, can pictures be labeled: "John at the Beach" or "Fred my dog guide"? 
I doubt if I'll be taking any pictures, but I'd like to have some I can send
to friends or use as part of a card.
the app in question, by the way, is 
 
cards  and it's in the app store, free, from Apple.

Re: THINKING ABOUT A MAC!

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

With all do respect, I find this extremely hard to believe.  Yes.  Macs are 
more expensive but, not twice as expensive as PC equivalents.  An 21 inch iMac 
starts at $1100.  So, for you to spec that out to 2300, you must have added 
some goodies. :).  If you tried to build a PC equivalent of a $2300 iMac, you 
wouldn't come close to spending under a grand.  You would be talking at least, 
15 to 1800 dollars.  And that's excluding a screen reader of course.

Re: THINKING ABOUT A MAC!

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

I have to disagree about customer service.  many people have a Apple store that 
they can go to and bring in their computer.  Tell me the last time you've been 
to an HP store?  lol.  And, what other computer manufacturer has a line just 
for screen reader users?  That alone makes their customer service head and 
shoulders above their competitors.  You also have the value of the product.  
The re sale value of a Mac is nearly double that of a comparable PC.  You think 
not?  Check out eBay or, Craig's list.

I also had mobile speak before getting an iPhone and I did pay almost $400 for 
it.  Not to mention the $150 or there about, to upgrade to 4.0.

Hi all,



I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to create printed musical notation
from the mac/iOS?



I have windows available to me, but I'd rather not use it if I didn't have
to.



I've had a play with Lillypond but it seemed extremely complex considering
what I want to do.

I honestly wish the music programs like Sibelius were accessible. Voiceover
just crashes when I try and use it.



I have used Sibelius under windows and it works well, but under a VM which
is how I have windows set up on my laptop, I'm not sure how it would work
and I need it to be perfect.



Also if anyone has suggestions for an iOS app that might be worth looking
at, I'd really appreciate it.



If no one has any ideas I'll keep researching and let everyone know what I
find.



Thanks.

RE: THINKING ABOUT A MAC!

[Scott Erichsen]

Voiceover does not read tables on the mac at all. Therefore, in text edit,
it won’t be possible.

I like the mac, but the lack of decent word processing makes me have windows
installed for serious work.

Subject: Re: THINKING ABOUT A MAC!

 

I got a macbook pro just over a week ago, but don't want to install windows
on this machine. I've been using it for mail, twitter, Skype and sometimes
MSN, but setting up to play muds takes a lot of effort and playing around
with the terminal. Pretty cool though once you get it up and working.

Yes it was expensive to buy, but it'll be worth it, since I don't have a
licensed copy of Office pro on my windows laptop and you can save things as
word format with text edit on the mac anyway. /the only thing I'm not too
sure how to do is make a table in text edit, although I did see something in
the menus for that.

Just a final point for now, I think the sound quality is better than that on
a windows laptop. I can hear voiceover just fine at 55% on the mac I'm
writing from now, but on the windows laptop, I have to turn NVDA up to 85 or
90% to be able to hear it properly. The only time I've needed to use
earphones is when talking on Skype or playing games, because the tintin++
sounds are pretty quiet sometimes. For that though, you can use the
earphones from the iPhone if you have one, since they're apple ones.

Oh, I almost forgot to say, the software for the mac is either nicely
built-in and very accessible (including the chess game), o else free or very
cheap. If you wanted office for the mac, for example, you would only have to
pay £89, but for windows version you have to pay over £400.

The only real thing I don't appreciate is having the @ symbol on the 2 key
instead of the ' key as it's meant to be in the UK keyboard layout, unless
that's just a windows thing.

Hope this extremely long e-mail helps,

Harmony.

i've used it so litttle, that I can't tell much right now. 

I've heard that the text processing isn't so good as it is on windows. as I
