Re: GPS Apps Stand-A-Lone GPS Units
Ok, this is coming from a partial, but car routes are so fun. I use mapquest4mobile in car mode to impress my iphone owning sighted friends, and know where I am with all the signs I can't read. I think it also be useful to totals, as if needed for helping their sighted drivers, as said here.

My sighted wife does all of the driving, and she used to, and probably still does, use a GPS device. Since I started using MapQuest though, she prefers to let me do the navigating while she's doing the driving. I think there's a lot less tension in the car now since we started doing this! Also, if I'm asking someone for a ride, I don't expect them to always know where i need to go. Unless they're going there as well, I think it's my responsibility to know where I need to go, the address of where I'm going and the directions on how to get there. On 09/08/12 22:05, Gail the U. S.

Ever since my very first Trekker about 5 years ago, I have been saying that a GPS is a good mobility tool and nothing else. As well as helping you, it can also get you killed if you pay more attention to it than to your orientation and mobility. You must never pay so much attention to the device that you forget to pay attention to what you are doing. If I am about to cross a street and the GPS talks while I am reading my traffic, I ignore it and make my crossing as I have been trained to do and just stop and press the repeat button on the other side. It also seems to me like too many people think that the GPS will go and place your hand on the door knob. I am lucky to get within 10 metres of a target and use my dog's and my ability to do the rest.

We must remember that GPS is only a tool and it doesn't replace our orientation and mobility skills. It's to give us information and the information is only as good as the databases that the GPS apps or separate units have access to. This past weekend I was up in San Francisco and all three GPS products were having issues in giving precise information. At one point, all of them stated to turn left where there was a No Left Turn sign (car route mode). I understand that the choices we make regarding which GPS apps one will use is a personal matter, and individual GPS apps should not be knocked. This can give a misconception to those who haven't purchased a GPS app for their phone. As one of the other posts stated, it will all change when the iPhone5 will be available regarding the purchasing of GPS apps. I just hope that Apple gets it right the first time. Now!! I will probably be cut down for this, but it is the Sendero GPS on my Apex that I eventually turn on to get more precise information and options that are not available on my GPS apps on the phone. At least I have lots of options to get the info that I need when I am out-and-about. However, these options do not replace my ability to travel with the white cane. Thanks for listening.

Re: The new Fleksy.
Totally agree. The addition of direct touch was very welcome. The lack of it confused me when the app as was released. I guess they couldn't wait for all features before getting the app out. Also, I worked out an issue I was having with the app. It seemed to me that voice over would do silent and the app would stop working.. The problem was my phones case, it was hanging to close to the sensor. Absolutely love the app now. Sent from my iPhone On 10/08/2012, at 16:58, Chuck Dean cadean...@gmail.com wrote: The new Fleksy.

Re: OT MacBook
Yes, I am totally blind. I do have basic light perception though. I had a friend show me how to use a mouse about 15 years ago. The thing that was hardest for me to grasp was how small the movements are. When I got my first laptop with a touch-pad, I had him move my finger around it, just like we did with the mouse. Again, I was amazed at how small the movements were. When I first got my iPhone, I needed to teach myself to make small movements when exploring the screen, just like the mouse and touch-pad from the past. When I learned that iOS gesture commands were being added to VO on the mac, I knew it was time to change. I want to do things as much as possible the same ways my sighted colleagues do them. So, I relished the idea of switching to the track-pad. In fact, I am still a little disappointed that there isn't a full-screen display mode which works like the iPhone display. It would be great to stop interacting out to full-screen, find where another window is (or the dock or apple toolbar for that matter, and then interact in to that item. I could then get the same relational view of the display that I have with my iPhone, and would not need to try and memorise even more bloody esoteric commands.

RE: #Ot, A Possible Scan You Should Know About
If you run some sort of Malware removal tool such as malwareBytes (you can download and install it on the Ninite site,) the calls will stop in a matter of a day or two. They've gotten your info from your computer. Giving the number out while nice is not helpful, as there are several variations of this number. This was also published in an article from Microsoft as well as some other techy related sites, notifying folks about this very scam. But the important piece of all, is that you have malware. My partner was getting similar calls, sometimes three and four times a day. He ran anti-malware tools on his computer, and they stopped calling. I've spoken personally with similar individuals who have reported the same scenarios with similar results after removing the Malware. HTH.

Hi, What a wonderful job. All you need now is to sell it to Apple so they can integrate it in the new IOS. After all, that’s what they did with SIRI. I would like to see an ‘t in the suggestions as well as the ‘s for words like can’t or couldn’t and such.

The free version will not allow you to copy or use the text, but will give everyone the ability to try out Fleksy before purchasing the full version. If you have already purchased the full version previously, you will automatically be upgraded to the full version. § You no longer have to switch VoiceOver off to type. Please note, you have to first tap once anywhere on the screen before typing, in order to activate the keyboard. This is the way Direct Touch works. § When you launch Fleksy, it is now already in typing mode. You can use the keyboard area to type. To bring up the Fleksy menu, press and hold at the top of the screen, above the keyboard area. § We have re-ordered the app menus based on popular feedback. § You can now remove words from the dictionary. You remove words the same way you add them: type them in manual entry mode, and then, after swiping right, swipe up to remove from the dictionary. § The previous version of Fleksy prevented you from adding certain words in the dictionary – this has now been fixed. § There is now an easy way to add apostrophes to nouns. After writing a word, swipe right for period and you will find the (apostrophe s) shortcut in the suggestions. § We have reorganized how Fleksy formats emails. The word “Fleksy” is not added to the subject line any more. We have also included an option for using the first line of your text as the subject of outgoing e-mails. We know that a lot of participants of this forum had asked for this feature. § Fleksy now supports the Screen Curtain feature when enabled. § Fleksy now speaks in the same language locale as your iPhone if you use the UK or Australian English voice. § Your user dictionary is now stored in iCloud on enabled devices. This means it will automatically be updated across your devices and stay in sync. § The instructions are now stored within Fleksy, so you can access them when you are offline or outside a network cover area. § There is now a “spell words” setting. This spells the last word entered after you have typed it. § We have updated the Twitter button to point to our new Twitter handle: @fleksy. § We have added the underscore to the list of symbols. § And, finally, Fleksy now notifies you it is ready when loading is completed. The update is free for all Fleksy users, and all previous purchasers are automatically upgraded to the full version. For everyone else, Fleksy is now free to download and try.

RE: The new Fleksy.
Hi Chuck, I assume you typed your message using Fleksy since your subject line is also duplicated as the first line of your message. In the new version you can turn this off in the settings. There is a heading called Email and the first item after that is Include subject in body, it's a simple toggle, if it's on double tap it and it changes to off and vice versa. I personally like it set to off because I don't see a point in repeating my subject line in the message body, it's not as if this is something I do if I write an email in Outlook or that it is a standard practice. The second item under email is the Signature, edit field and here of course you can delete the default Typed with Fleksy signature if you wish, replace it with a different one or leave it blank so you only get the signature you set in your mail settings.

Re: Audible update in the app store
For the high speed scrubbing, have you tried using the slider controls for the amount of time elapsed and time remaining in a chapter, or the time elapsed in the whole book/part? Just a thought. Wayne On 8/9/12, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hello Audible subscribers, Just saw that Audible has an update. Not much new and unfortunately no mention regarding Voiceover improvements or new features. Here are the 2 points they list: Better quality audio in both standard and high quality modes Improved stability and performance, including fix for Audio not Available error. I hope the fix for the Audio not available error is really fixed, it didn't happen a lot to me and mostly getting out of the app, taking it out of the app switcher and getting back in fixed the problem, but it would be nice if I don't have to do this any more. I guess it's time for another email and phone call to them asking them to fix Voiceover so that deleting titles works better and I'd also like to see better accessibility of the high speed scrubbing. I like the way it's done in the music app where a flick up or down if you are on the Playback Position control advances or goes back by approx. 10% of the length of the currently playing title, e.g. if your current chapter is 1 hour long a flick would jump forward or backward by approx. 6 minutes. It's very easy to find a particular place this way and then by using the 30 second jump option..Progress .

RE: Fleksy is now free to try
Hi Ioannis Loving the new Fleksy update so far. This app just gets more user friendly everyday! I think your approach regarding allowing people to try the app for free but not be able to use text they have typed is a really good idea. I am impressed how you have managed to incorporate pretty much all the feedback I have seen so far regarding suggestions for improvements and can’t wait to see what other updates will come out in the coming months.

RE: Audible update in the app store
Hi Wayne, Are you using the Audible app and are able to do that? If so I'd be very interested to know which gesture you use because none I have tried and which works in any other application like the music app, Downcast etc. works. Audible did add a Playback Position control, but all you can do is flick up or down and jump by 30 second increments which in the case of jumping back is the same as using the Jump Back button. If you are not an Audible app user, please reply to me directly, I don't think there have to be further messages cluttering the list unless they provide information everybody can use.

RE: Fleksy is now free to try
Hi Reggie, You delete by swiping left. If you are typing the slow way, i.e. by touching and holding the screen until you hear the letter spoken, swiping left will erase each letter you typed this way one at a time. If you are typing the fast way by touching approximately where you think the letter should be and by doing the pattern, then a swipe left will undo what you typed since the last word, e.g. if you want to type Hello Peter and you typed Hello correctly and it read it back and then you realize you started out wrong for peter, you swipe left once and there is a little swish sound which means you can start over. If you typed Peter and it doesn't come up and is not in the list of suggestions, just do a swipe left after you reach the end of the suggestions and, if for example the last word in the suggestions was other Fleksy would make the swish sound and say deleted other. Now you can give it another try. As for capitalization, you have to find the letter you want to capitalize the slow way, then once Voiceover announces the letter lift your finger and do a 1-finger swipe up from the bottom towards the top, sometimes and I think it's mostly if you have typed nothing else yet, Voiceover just repeats the letter and you have to swipe up a second time before it will capitalize it. You said in your message I have tried moving my finger up on the screen so I believe you may slide your finger up after you find the letter without lifting it first, you have to do a definite swipe or flick up not a slow slide. I just tried this by typing iPhone the slow way, I find the I then lift my finger, then I find the p, lift my finger and then a single swipe up will say capital p. If, however, I type the word Phone as my first word and do it the slow way, I have to swipe up twice after I find the p because the first time I swipe up it just says p and the second time it says capital p. If you hear what you just typed, i.e. if the text is read back to you, you are touching too high because this reading back of what you typed is triggered by covering up the proximity sensor and it is right at the very top and just to the left of the slot in the glass where your earpiece Is. If you do want Fleksy to read back what you typed you can either raise the phone to your ear or you can just hover your hand or palm over the top of the phone, you don't have to actually touch the screen to trigger this. As for activating the menu once you are done typing, try and touch the screen at the level of where the volume up and down buttons are. In fact, you could put a finger over top of them so you feel both the volume up and down, then lift that finger move right just a bit (you don't have to be in the middle of the screen) and plop it down on the screen just to the right of where the volume buttons are, hold for half a second or so and you should hear the dong followed immediately by Voiceover saying Alert followed by the text you typed, as soon as you hear the dong you can lift your finger off the screen, if it is a long message you can touch the screen once with 2 fingers to stop Voiceover from continueing to read. Now you can swipe right and find the option you want, Copy and Clear, email, message etc. If you want to continue and add more text, double tap on the Cancel button just above the Home Key, it is the last option in the menu, but quickly found by putting your finger on the Home Key and sliding up just a bit.

If you do want Fleksy to read back what you typed you can either raise the phone to your ear or you can just hover your hand or palm over the top of the phone, you don’t have to actually touch the screen to trigger this. As for activating the menu once you are done typing, try and touch the screen at the level of where the volume up and down buttons are. In fact, you could put a finger over top of them so you feel both the volume up and down, then lift that finger move right just a bit (you don’t have to be in the middle of the screen) and plop it down on the screen just to the right of where the volume buttons are, hold for half a second or so and you should hear the dong followed immediately by Voiceover saying “Alert” followed by the text you typed, as soon as you hear the dong you can lift your finger off the screen, if it is a long message you can touch the screen once with 2 fingers to stop Voiceover from continueing to read. Now you can swipe right and find the option you want, Copy and Clear, email, message etc. If you want to continue and add more text, double tap on the “Cancel” button just above the Home Key, it is the last option in the menu, but quickly found by putting your finger on the Home Key and sliding up just a bit.

Re: Fleksy is now free to try
I find the best way to capitalize a letter is to find the letter, lift your finger and them swipe down. It will announce the letter as capitalized.. To get to the send menu's simply tap end hold about one inch from the top of the iPhone. You will hear a tone and the screen wool change to.. Contractions like can't, don't, won't, etc. Are automatically typed with the apostrophe.. Hope this helps,. Chuck -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Dropbox file sharing
Hi. Download the Dropbox app on your iPad, which you can find by searching for Dropbox in the App Store. Then, log in to your account once installed and you'll have all your files on your iPad that you do on your Windows machine in Dropbox. If you only want some stuff in both places, consider creating a separate Dropbox account for your iPad. you'll need to use a different email though. Then, just share a folder specifically between your PC and Dropbox. However, remember that the actual files in your Dropbox folders do not take up space on your iPad.

Re: GPS Apps Stand-A-Lone GPS Units
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. How would you use what? Which application or device are you asking about? When I'm in a car, I go to my MapQuest app, which I downloaded from the App Store. I think it's listed as MapQuest by AoL in the App Store. I found it easily enough by just searching on MapQuest. It doesn't download any maps, so you'll need to be leveraging you're data plan if you're in your car. I don't use it enough to tell you exactly how to use it off the top of my head, but basically you tell it to use your current location as the starting point and then you enter your destination, either by address or business name. I think you click the start button or maybe it's labeled start navigation and then you'll hear the turn by turn directions announced. You can move MapQuest to the background and still hear the directions. By default, it'll assume you're driving, but if your destination is close enough, it'll ask you if you want walking directions instead. There are a lot of other GPS options besides MapQuest, but this is the app I've decided I like for now. On 10/08/12 14:10, Mary Ellen Sanchez wrote: Hello I had a question.

Are there any other iPhone mailing lists out there dealing with accessibility? [was Re: GPS Apps Stand-A-Lone GPS Units]
I'm just curious, are there any other mailing lists out there for blind users of the iPhone? I guess I'm looking for something with a bit less traffic and something that's a bit more on topic. I don't own, and I'm not interested in, any stand alone GPS devices or any other Apple products. I also have plenty of other sources to hear and be warned about different scams. I don't begrudge people talking about whatever they want to on this list, it isn't my list after all, I'm just wondering if there's anything out there that might be a more efficient use of my time. This is a great list, with a lot of smart people on it who provide tons of great information and a pair of really great moderators.

[was Re: GPS Apps Stand-A-Lone GPS Units] I'm just curious, are there any other mailing lists out there for blind users of the iPhone? I guess I'm looking for something with a bit less traffic and something that's a bit more on topic. I don't own, and I'm not interested in, any stand alone GPS devices or any other Apple products. I also have plenty of other sources to hear and be warned about different scams. I don't begrudge people talking about whatever they want to on this list, it isn't my list after all, I'm just wondering if there's anything out there that might be a more efficient use of my time. This is a great list, with a lot of smart people on it who provide tons of great information and a pair of really great moderators. The iPhone traffic alone though makes it a pretty high traffic list.

Re: Fleksy is now free to try
It would be nice if there could be a clear button added to the choices of options in the menu. I know there is a copy and clear button, but what if I am practicing and just want to clear what I have written? I could have used this option earlier today when practicing in the updated app. I know that there may be a concern of having too many options there, but if you do it right, or even offer a button leading to a submenu of choices, the options could be easily managed.

RE: Fleksy is now free to try
You know? I was thinking the same. There should be a simple clear button and the copy/clear. However, for now, you can erase your practice by just running your finger to the left and not picking it up. Eventually you will erase what you have written. BTW, it makes a sound as if you were rewinding an audible file or a tape, (now gosh what is a tape I hear from the younger folks).

Re: Fleksy is now free to try
I completely agree. It's not so bad if you've only got a few words, slide left and hold to mass delete words but if you've got a decent amount of text, this would be nice. I mentioned this to the gf, sense she's the one that purchased fleksy for me and she said I was being to picky and complaining. LOL All the same though, her and I are both super happy with the update for sure. Only thing that would make it even better would be if we could have it implemented into an actual keyboard you could use for all edit boxes, but, unless apple decides to start allowing keyboards in the appstore, it's a no go, I figure. Take care. On 8/10/2012 3:51 PM, Wayne Merritt wrote: It would be nice if there could be a clear button added to the choices of options in the menu.

We must remember that GPS is only a tool and it doesn't replace our orientation and mobility skills. It's to give us information and the information is only as good as the databases that the GPS apps or separate units have access to. This past weekend I was up in San Francisco and all three GPS products were having issues in giving precise information. At one point, all of them stated to turn left where there was a No Left Turn sign (car route mode). I understand that the choices we make regarding which GPS apps one will use is a personal matter, and individual GPS apps should not be knocked. This can give a misconception to those who haven't purchased a GPS app for their phone. As one of the other posts stated, it will all change when the iPhone5 will be available regarding the purchasing of GPS apps. I just hope that Apple gets it right the first time. Now!! I will probably be cut down for this, but it is the Sendero GPS on my Apex that I eventually turn on to get more precise information and options that are not available on my GPS apps on the phone. At least I have lots of options to get the info that I need when I am out-and-about. However, these options do not replace my ability to travel with the white cane. Thanks for listening.

Re: The new Fleksy.
There is a trial version of Fleksy that is free. It allows you to try the key board to see if it will work for you. But anything you type cannot be saved, copied ,or emailed. So the free version is only good for evaluation. To actually use Fleksy, you will need to buy the app. Chuck On Friday, August 10, 2012 12:10:54 PM UTC-7, Mary wrote: So fleksy is free right?? -Original Message- From: vip...@googlegroups.com javascript: [mailto: vip...@googlegroups.com javascript:] On Behalf Of Chuck Dean Sent: Friday, August 10, 2012 1:58 AM To: vip...@googlegroups.com javascript: Subject: The new Fleksy.

Also, if I'm asking someone for a ride, I don't expect them to always know where i need to go.

We must remember that GPS is only a tool and it doesn't replace our orientation and mobility skills. It's to give us information and the information is only as good as the databases that the GPS apps or separate units have access to. This past weekend I was up in San Francisco and all three GPS products were having issues in giving precise information. At one point, all of them stated to turn left where there was a No Left Turn sign (car route mode). I understand that the choices we make regarding which GPS apps one will use is a personal matter, and individual GPS apps should not be knocked. This can give a misconception to those who haven't purchased a GPS app for their phone. As one of the other posts stated, it will all change when the iPhone5 will be available regarding the purchasing of GPS apps. I

Re: Talking charger for Apple, microUSB and any USB device
Mary, The Peak from myCharge.com is MUCH better than the PowerBank from Speed Dots. Here are some of the reasons. 1) It charges an iPad. Most battery packs don't provide the 2.1 Amps required. 2) The cables are built-in so you don't have to worry about remembering or losing the adaptors. They have Apple 30 pin and micro USB, plus a USB port. 3) The device can recharge via USB or using the built-in 2-prong plug and a regular wall outlet, which is faster and very convenient. Most importantly, it talks and tells you battery status. It is expensive at almost $100, but it's a premium product.

Re: volume of certain apps question.
No, and a solution would actually be quite complex. On a regular phone, if you want to block certain sounds from going over the phone line, you would place your hand over the mouthpiece to muffle and distort the sounds, or you would press a mute button if the phone has it. The iPhone has a digitally controlled mute feature which, when you are using speakerphone and VO, mutes the mic for the exact length of time that speech or feedback sounds are occurring. In most cases, these tiny mutes are not noticed by the person on the other end. When sound is going to the earpiece or headset, this is not a problem because, of course, the channels are separated. Note that standard speakerphones have sound meters which set the box in transmit or receive mode. They do not do both simultaneously. In fact, at the absence of sound meeting the minimum threshold, they either wait in transmit or receive mode (depending on the phone and how it was programmed by its manufacturer). I have seen both set-ups, and prefer the speakerphones which default to receiving mode. Now, what you are asking for is even more complex and would require a sound analysis buffer be placed between the mic and the transmission of the signal. This buffer would need to analyse the sound wave forms and drop those forms that match the sounds of your fingers manipulating controls. This would take up system resources and add delay to transmission. Another possibility is to have the mic threshold set to a less sensitive value and disengage it when that value is not maintained. Of course, you then introduce the brief delay it takes to re-engage the mic stream when noise above that threshold is detected, and if you add a buffer, you run in to the system resources problem and the over-all delay in conversation. Finally, you can map out the specific frequencies of fingers effecting controls and permanently block those frequencies. Now, you have the problem of dead zones in the sound scape. If a person's voice inflection happens to move in to that specific frequency range, the listener will not hear anything. By the way, this has happened to me in the past. Old analog phone lines were quite limited on their frequency range, and anything outside this range was chopped. In fact, if you make a Skype-out phone call, and then make a Skype to Skype call to the same party, the Skype to Skype call will sound much clearer because Skype allows a much broader frequency range than analog.

iPhone and automated numeric response prompts
Hi, With an iPhone, how does one go about entering numeric keypad responses to navigate within an automated system? I've heard one can use a comma after the phone number. The comma introduces a pause; several commas produce a longer pause. But not all automated systems are one layer deep, and some require a fair degree of interactivity within the system before one knows which is the desired numeric response, or series of responses.

Re: GPS Apps Stand-A-Lone GPS Units
Yep, so for the cost of an iPhone and a couple gps apps, you get a dedicated gps solution running on obsolete hardware and the privilege of paying more per year for map updates. I, on the other hand, pay less upfront cost for a much more versitile device with no annual payments if I am happy with just annual updates. The increased feedback and equivalent accuracy is not worth the difference for me, and a previous employer provided one of the AT GPS solutions for me.

If I am about to cross a street and the GPS talks while I am reading my traffic, I ignore it and make my crossing as I have been trained to do and just stop and press the repeat button on the other side. It also seems to me like too many people think that the GPS will go and place your hand on the door knob. I am lucky to get within 10 metres of a target and use my dog's and my ability to do the rest. Ron Danvers -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Eileen Misrahi Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2012 12:28 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: GPS Apps Stand-A-Lone GPS Units Hi, I have been following this thread and I am concern that individuals are relying too much on GPS apps or stand-a-lone GPS units. We must remember that GPS is only a tool and it doesn't replace our orientation and mobility skills. It's to give us information and the information is only as good as the databases that the GPS apps or separate units have access to. This past weekend I was up in San Francisco and all three GPS products were having issues in giving precise information. At one point, all of them stated to turn left where there was a No Left Turn sign (car route mode). I understand that the choices we make regarding which GPS apps one will use is a personal matter, and individual GPS apps should not be knocked. This can give a misconception to those who haven't purchased a GPS app for their phone. As one of the other posts stated, it will all change when the iPhone5 will be available regarding the purchasing of GPS apps. I just hope that Apple gets it right the first time. Now!! I will probably be cut down for this, but it is the Sendero GPS on my Apex that I eventually turn on to get more precise information and options that are not available on my GPS apps on the phone. At least I have lots of options to get the info that I need when I am out-and-about. However, these options do not replace my ability to travel with the white cane. Thanks for listening.

RE: iPhone and automated numeric response prompts
You have been well-informed about the comma, and I have recently tested the system on a teleconference line that demands a password, then a menu option to verify my choice. It worked flawlessly. You can hear the numbers being entered, and they sound very natural. No menu option was activated until the automated prompts had been allowed to run on for a second or two. In my case, I had to call the number in question once or twice to figure out precisely what menu options to pre-program. Here's what I did: 1. In my contact for the number in question, I entered the phone number for the teleconference line as usual. The numeric keypad used to enter phone numbers features a shift key. Once I'd entered the phone number, I double-tapped that shift key to pull up other options. 2. Certain punctuation marks appeared in place of the numbers. I did not enter a space, but simply entered comma immediately after the teleconference number. 3. In my example, I followed this comma with the teleconference password, plus the pound symbol to expedite the menu. 4. I then entered another comma, then the number 1 (which was the menu choice to verify the password I had provided). It was that straight-forward. Please let me know if I misunderstood your question, confused you even further or need to provide any clarification.

Re: iPhone and automated numeric response prompts
Where you haven't been able to work out the full series to programme or just want to navigate normally, I highly recommend using a headset like the one provided with the iPhone.

iMessages VS text messages
Are text messages delivered more reliably than iMessages? For, sometimes, when I've sent an iMessage to my sister, she has told me she didn't get it till a few hours later, although she normally gets them pretty quickly after I have sent them. On the other hand, though, my brother tells me that he doesn't get the iMessages I send around seven in the morning when he is away from home, until he gets back home after five in the afternoon. But, when I turned off the iMessage feature and just sent him a text message today, he got it right away, around the seven in the morning. Oh, I can normally receive his iMessages just after they are sent. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Dropbox file sharing
You'll need another app for editing. Also I don't know of any apps which will allow accessible editing of Word docs. If you want to edit on the IOS device, you can use rich text with some apps but you are best to go for plain text an than there are hundreds of apps which will sync with dropbox and allow accessible editing.

Fleksy
Does the app allow you to undo changes if you deleted words by mistake? - Original Message - From: reggie.alvar...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, August 10, 2012 1:55 PM Subject: Re: Fleksy is now free to try sieghard, I did it, I Got it to just capitalize the g in the word got. Thank you so much for the help! I will now try to bring up the send screen following your advice. Thanks so much. Reggie and Brooks On Aug 10, 2012, at 1:28 PM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Reggie, You delete by swiping left. If you are typing the slow way, i.e. by touching and holding the screen until you hear the letter spoken, swiping left will erase each letter you typed this way one at a time. If you are typing the fast way by touching approximately where you think the letter should be and by doing the pattern, then a swipe left will undo what you typed since the last word, e.g. if you want to type “Hello Peter” and you typed Hello correctly and it read it back and then you realize you started out wrong for “peter”, you swipe left once and there is a little swish sound which means you can start over. If you typed Peter and it doesn’t come up and is not in the list of suggestions, just do a swipe left after you reach the end of the suggestions and, if for example the last word in the suggestions was “other” Fleksy would make the swish sound and say “deleted other”. Now you can give it another try. As for capitalization, you have to find the letter you want to capitalize the “slow way”, then once Voiceover announces the letter lift your finger and do a 1-finger swipe up from the bottom towards the top, sometimes and I think it’s mostly if you have typed nothing else yet, Voiceover just repeats the letter and you have to swipe up a second time before it will capitalize it. You said in your message “I have tried moving my finger up on the screen” so I believe you may slide your finger up after you find the letter without lifting it first, you have to do a definite swipe or flick up not a slow slide. I just tried this by typing “iPhone” the slow way, I find the “I” then lift my finger, then I find the “p”, lift my finger and then a single swipe up will say “capital p”. If, however, I type the word “Phone” as my first word and do it the slow way, I have to swipe up twice after I find the “p” because the first time I swipe up it just says “p” and the second time it says “capital p”. If you hear what you just typed, i.e. if the text is read back to you, you are touching too high because this reading back of what you typed is triggered by covering up the proximity sensor and it is right at the very top and just to the left of the slot in the glass where your earpiece Is. If you do want Fleksy to read back what you typed you can either raise the phone to your ear or you can just hover your hand or palm over the top of the phone, you don’t have to actually touch the screen to trigger this. As for activating the menu once you are done typing, try and touch the screen at the level of where the volume up and down buttons are. In fact, you could put a finger over top of them so you feel both the volume up and down, then lift that finger move right just a bit (you don’t have to be in the middle of the screen) and plop it down on the screen just to the right of where the volume buttons are, hold for half a second or so and you should hear the dong followed immediately by Voiceover saying “Alert” followed by the text you typed, as soon as you hear the dong you can lift your finger off the screen, if it is a long message you can touch the screen once with 2 fingers to stop Voiceover from continueing to read. Now you can swipe right and find the option you want, Copy and Clear, email, message etc. If you want to continue and add more text, double tap on the “Cancel” button just above the Home Key, it is the last option in the menu, but quickly found by putting your finger on the Home Key and sliding up just a bit.

Re: Fleksy is now free to try
Hi Katey , yes, I put Fleksy on my iPad. I am a terrible typist on a regular key board, and usually start out touch typing, and slowly revert to the hunt and peck method. With Fleksy my hunt and peck has increased in speed about 50%. Considering how well this app works on all my devices, I am beginning to believe that this app was created just for me!

I find that I'm even faster now that we don't have to keep doing the tripple click each time we want to use the app and then I especially like the copy clear button at the top of the menus. This incredible app continues to improve with each new update! I'm glad that they have a free version for those who may want to try before they buy if especially if they don't know anyone who has the app. Has anyone put it on their iPad yet? I'm considering putting it on here to see how it does, but I do have a bluetooth keyboard case so I do always have a hardware keyboard for times such as now when I want to type a lot of text, otherwise I use the on screen one just fine. thanks for reading.

Re: iMessages VS text messages
Text message is the fallback. IMessaging uses the Internet and requires a a good connection David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone On 11/08/2012, at 15:39, Vicky Collins v-coll...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Are text messages delivered more reliably than iMessages? For, sometimes, when I've sent an iMessage to my sister, she has told me she didn't get it till a few hours later, although she normally gets them pretty quickly after I have sent them. On the other hand, though, my brother tells me that he doesn't get the iMessages I send around seven in the morning when he is away from home, until he gets back home after five in the afternoon. But, when I turned off the iMessage feature and just sent him a text message today, he got it right away, around the seven in the morning. Oh, I can normally receive his iMessages just after they are sent. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: fleksey with the iPad
Yes, I put Fleksy on my iPad. I am basically a hunt and peck typist, so Fleksy increased my speed by about 50%. I am not sure how well it would work with touch typing.
