RE: Is it just me or has the Canadian Yellow Pages app become, well, inaccessible?
Hi Shawn, I am in Smithers, BC and also updated not thinking much about it. So I just had a look and while Voiceover said What search field or something like that, at first I could not activate edit mode with a double tap, I tried the pass through and nothing worked. I could not even flick left and right, moving my finger around would read some stuff like Banks, Restaurants, Shopping etc. Anyhow, I also saw something about Location and at some point something did work and the app asked if I wanted to allow Location Services, I did that and suddenly the search box worked, I tried to type in Safeway and it pulled up the information. But I must say the app is not as easy to use as before and I'll definitely send an email to the developers and let them know that they should address accessibility. I think I still have the old version on my computer and I may downgrade again since I also used the app quite a bit. There are lots of other apps for finding businesses, but it was nice to have it for people. Of course you could always put a shortcut to www.Canada411.com on the home page, that is also a good site and it's what I use on the computer.

Re: Status report social networking app:
One thing I'm going to write to the author about is that if you've been reading a whole lot of Statuses and reply to one, you lose your place and are back at the beginning of the list. Getting back each time is very time-consuming. I'd like to suggest that when you back out of a report you're still on the same part of that list because you can always touch the top left button and end up back at the beginning if you wish. What do others think of this? I also love the app, by the way, for its simplicity and straightforward way of presenting the information.

RE: ZAGG InvisibleShield military grade screen protector -- anyone use this?
Hi Keith, I had a full coverage one on my iPhone 4 (front, back and sides). They are finicky to put on and I had the best result when I walked up to a Zagg mall booth and had the girl who worked their put it on, cost an extra $10, but they do it all the time. You are also not supposed to use the phone much for a couple of hours and be careful for the first day as they put some sort of gel on the touch screen which has to dry. The screen protector is very good and it makes the phone very grippy, somebody recently said they should rubberize cell phones to make them more durable, well, this is probably the closest thing to it. One thing though, it also makes it a bit less easy to slide your finger along the screen as it's sort of, well, sticky is not exactly the right word, but just not as smooth and slick as straight glass. The material they use is what they put on helicopter windscreens when they fly in the desert, it's self-heeling and very tough. I decided not to put one on my 4S since I have it mostly in my leather belt case and if not I just use it naked. If you want to use your phone without any case and you want the best protection possible then I think these are your best option.

RE: converter cable
Hi Robert, If you have a 3GS or 4 then not upgrading to the iPhone 5 in my opinion is a mistake. You may end up buying more accessories with the 30-PIN connector and it's not like the 2013 iPhone will suddenly go back to it, Apple usually sticks with something for some time and the new 9-PIN connector is here to stay for the next few years so you might as well get onboard with it. If you have an older dock just get the Lightning to 30-PIN adapter and you are all set.

RE: Search Results in App Store
Hi David, Maybe try to clear your app switcher and turn the phone off and then on again. Sometimes this clears up problems. I just went to the app store and to Search and started typing Dictionary. I typed the first 6 letters and after swiping to the right past the clear text button Voiceover said All results for dictio and below that was a list of a whole bunch of apps with the word dictionary in it. If all else fails you may have to do a factory reset, my iOS 6 update went well, but I had a few strange issues afterwards and eventually decided to spend the time and do a factory reset and then set up my phone as a new phone and everything is working very well now.

RE: digit eyes
Has anyone used the audio component of Digit-Eyes? I bought some of their plain labels that can be used for that purpose. I want to record on some of them and apply them to food items in the kitchen. For instance, we bought some hot cereals that recommend different ratios of water to cereal when cooked. I figured I could use Digit-Eyes to record those directions and put the audio label on the cereal's container. I can then scan the label with my phone if I forget the directions. It works but I have one question. So far the only way I know to get to the recording function of Digit-Eyes is to first allow it to scan the blank label; then it invites me to record. Is there a way to bypass that tedious scanning and just tell it to record? Thanks.

Paul -Original Message- From: Scott Davert Sent: Monday, October 01, 2012 2:43 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: digit eyes Hi Paul. It's a bit like that, but it actually hunts for the barcode on the item, I'm not sure exactly how oMoby works. The barcodes for a lot of the k-cups are located on the tops of the boxes. Here's some info I wrote up awhile back about digit-eyes for another list I'm on. Perhaps it will help? Begin quoted message: Hi all. Just been playing around with Digit-Eyes today a bit, and here are my impressions so far. When you first launch the app, you are put on the Scan button. Before scanning anything though, I would highly recommend going to the help section of the app and reading their tips on scanning, as it can save a lot of time and grief. While locating barcodes and UPC codes on products can be difficult, once you find them, the rest works quite nice. Again, for assistance with this, see the help section in the app or on the Digit-Eyes website. Essentially, you will position the camera over the device and try to take your best guess as to where the barcode is located. After selecting the scan button, begin moving the camera from about 8 inches and with each snap of the camera, raise it another inch. Also, sometimes rotating the product can help. Note that it doesn't matter what orientation the barcode is in, the app simply needs to recognize that it has found a barcode to work properly. When the app has located the barcode, the phone will vibrate, indicating that you don't need to move the camera around anymore. Digit-eyes recognized all 5 of the items I put in front of it. Once you have scanned the object and the barcode is recognized, the phone will speak and show in braille what the object is. Moving to the right one option will give you the more info button, assuming there is more info in the database, which will give you more specific information about the product such as ingredients', manufacturer, serving size if applicable, calories, a recipe if appropriate, etc. Moving to the right one more option lands you on the option to Google the product where you can find even more info, along with prices from nearby retail markets. The app will jump directly to this button if there is no further info in the databases about this product. This function is ladled as web search. Moving to the right one more time gives you a button where you can report wrong descriptions. I have never gotten one of these, though my experience with this app is still relatively limited. I have been told by those who have contacted Digit-Eyes that the customer service people are very prompt and respond positively to feedback. Flicking right one more time will land you on the Scan button again. QR Codes (Quick Response) While not the original intent of the creation of QR codes, Digit-Eyes allows you to sign up for a free account on their website, and you can then print off whatever ladles you want. The most typical way to do this would be with address labels that you can purchase at any store that carries mailing products. The challenge with this is cutting the codes out correctly, and if you do not have enough site to do this, sighted assistance may be required. You can also have Digit-Eyes mail you the QR codes already cut up and ready to go, but this costs more money. Please see their site for details on pricing. The QR code allows you to enter a short text description of the item of up to 100 characters. Once the QR code is affixed to whatever you want to be labeled, you can then scan for the code and it will read back the result and also display it in braille. You can even purchase special labels from Digit-Eyes which are washable, meaning that you can attach them to clothing and store whatever info you want on the tags. They must be sewn in to the clothing. The website indicates that these are good for 50 washes, but I have no info as to how long they last. The website also says that most

Although I do not believe I would use Face TIme for general conversation, I believe there are cases where it may be valuable. Obviously there are services such as Skype which apparently ATT does not block. Now with that said I decided to file a complaint with the FCC which is the regulatory agency for all things related to communications such as wireless etc. in the United States. I decided to file the complaint because there is no technical reason for ATT to block Face TIme over the 3G network and especially if they do not block Skype. My understanding is that Verizon Wireless does not block Face Time and mor does Sprint. I believe that ATT has taken this position for one of two reasons and one of which is surely monetary. So, why do I bring this up? Because I wanted to let anyone who has considered filing a complaint that ATT will respond. The best part is I have received an initial verbal response which is exactly what I expected. THe conversation can be best summed up as to bad. There was absolutely no point in having a conversation with ATT because despite the fact I pointed out the obvious fact they do not block Skype or any other VOIP service or placed any special restrictions on such services, they have blocked Face Time. I even pointed out how Face TIme could be useful in some circumstances for an individual with a visual impairment which incidentally is a true statement. So, I anticipate that although ATT has taken this position for now they will continue to face a great deal of pressure from individuals and groups to change their position. The good thing is there are other avenues and options. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Is it just me or has the Canadian Yellow Pages app become, well, inaccessible?
this is too bad as I used this app a lot and did the update yesterday without thinking. let's see if I can put it back. Brian.

So I just had a look and while Voiceover said What search field or something like that, at first I could not activate edit mode with a double tap, I tried the pass through and nothing worked. I could not even flick left and right, moving my finger around would read some stuff like Banks, Restaurants, Shopping etc. Anyhow, I also saw something about Location and at some point something did work and the app asked if I wanted to allow Location Services, I did that and suddenly the search box worked, I tried to type in Safeway and it pulled up the information. But I must say the app is not as easy to use as before and I'll definitely send an email to the developers and let them know that they should address accessibility. I think I still have the old version on my computer and I may downgrade again since I also used the app quite a bit. There are lots of other apps for finding businesses, but it was nice to have it for people. Of course you could always put a shortcut to www.Canada411.com on the home page, that is also a good site and it's what I use on the computer.

Re: Face TIme over 3G for those who live in the U.S
I have the iPhone 4s and I do have one of the Mobile Share plans from ATT. So, if I try to use facetime over 3G and call a iPhone 4 where the person is using WiFi, will the facetime call work? I just tried now with my brother, tried with both 3G and WiFi in fact, but with no success either way. The phone rang on my end in both cases, but he heard nothing and he couldn't call me on his end. He said facetime is turnthe on in settings on his phone. Our mother is in the hospital and in pretty bad shape, although we're not sure just how bad yet, and she was asking to see me on the phone, as we had done that a few months ago when at his home.

Although I do not believe I would use Face TIme for general conversation, I believe there are cases where it may be valuable. Obviously there are services such as Skype which apparently ATT does not block.

My understanding is that Verizon Wireless does not block Face Time and mor does Sprint. I believe that ATT has taken this position for one of two reasons and one of which is surely monetary. So, why do I bring this up? Because I wanted to let anyone who has considered filing a complaint that ATT will respond. The best part is I have received an initial verbal response which is exactly what I expected. THe conversation can be best summed up as to bad.

Hi all, Recently I am having trouble getting Netflix to work on our Apple TV. This is the latest generation of the Apple TV running the latest firmware installed only a few days ago. So far as we can tell everything else on Apple TV is working at least for what we use. Quite some time ago someone posted what might be a solution for this problem. I believe it involved changing the DNS setting from within the Apple TV. If someone has this info could you please post it?

RE: Can you tag friends in status updates or photos using the native Facebook app?
What I do is to write my status and then, just above the keyboard on the screen are buttons, friends, places, and a few others I can't remember since they've changed them. You tap the friends button and select the friends. It will show them with you but also tags them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

I can get the one at the top of the list to start so, I look at the title, go to the search field, type it in and press search and then double tap it.

Hi Sieghard. Glad I wasn't imagining the accessibility issues and that someone else is also experiencing the same thing. Unfortunately, I don't have a 4S, it's just a plain iPhone 4.

Re: Should re-booting an iPhone 4 running IOS 6 cause loss of VoiceOver?
I hope this is not an unwelcome feature. I haven't had it yet but will keep an eye on it.

RE: Going back a page in a iPad app
Place your index and middle fingers together. Rub the mback and forth as if you are trying to rub out a spot. I usually use a slanted gesture from the top lefthand corner of the screen towards the lower right hand, but I don't think it matters all that much. You should hear the screen change back to the previous screen. Hope this helps.

Hi, I bought the app visin assist for a friend and she seems to be very satisfied with its performance. Here is the appstore link Vision Assist http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/visionassist/id502356279?mt=8 It is currently priced at $5.99 in the appstore. This is not the only app that provides this functionality, but it is the one I am familiar with as I know several people who use it. If you have the free app from the braille institute called VIA, it may provide more options for you. - Original Message - From: Sarai Bucciarelli sarai.bucciare...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2012 2:19 PM Subject: magnifying apps Hi: Is there any magnifying apps for the iPhone that will use the back camera like a magnifying glass? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

friend gets a new phone tomorrow, want a refresher on first steps
All, it’s been a while since we got our phones and had to set them up from scratch. A friend named Ken gets one tomorrow, but he’s 500 miles away and doesn’t have email, twitter, etc. So communication not using a phone is limited. He is totally blind and has some hearing loss, almost no hearing in one ear in fact. Here are my questions as best as I can think of them: 1. In the Sprint store, they can get vo running, put some contacts in, etc. The things Ken has to do still are get an email address, subsequently set up an Apple ID, synch his phone, etc. What order must he do these things in? Does he have to use iTunes? If not, what can he do? He will have limited help there, no one with full vision, and Ken just is not tech savvy. He’s getting the iPhone mostly for Siri, to have access to texts, email, and the Internet. His friends that live with him have a computer, but he doesn’t use it, doesn’t use JAWS. 2. What do the hearing options in accessibility do? If I need to clarify anything, let me know. Thank you. Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: New Gmail account -- seeking advice
I didn't see any answers to this question yet, so I apologize if I just missed them. POP is good if you'll be downloading your mail messages and keeping them on a single system, like a home PC. You can check messages from other devices before they're removed from your email server, and you can set up your email clients to either just leave the messages on the server, download them to your device or just delete the message from your server that you delete or file from your client. I haven't ever set up POP on my iPhone, although I did use it for quite a while across multiple PC's. IMAP keeps all of your email and folders on a server. If you delete a message from one client or move it to a folder, you'll see this change on all of your clients. This is what I use now. I think Exchange is similar in functionality to IMAP, but I don't use it myself, other than to synchronize my Google Contacts with my iPhone. When you set up your email account on your PC, what was your email provider and what client were you using? Thunderbird will automatically set up your email account for you, so it may figure out that you're using IMAP or POP without ever asking you. The client will need to know what protocol you're using though.

iOS 6 and SIM Card Switching
Hi all, I was perusing a forum the other day and came across some strange reports from people who own unlocked iPhones on iOS 6. The reports claim that users are being presented with the activation screen upon swapping in a SIM, and are requested to connect to the internet to activate. Of course, this never used to be the case: once a phone is unlocked, you are meant to be able to swap SIMS at your leisure without ever having to reactivate. It wouldn't be ideal to have to reactivate every new SIM, because you'd obviously have to have a data connection to do the activation. When traveling this could be tricky. The reports claim that this is a new measure in iOS 6 to curb unauthorized unlocks. The bizarre thing is that I've read an equal number of reports claiming that this absolutely isn't the case and that users are not being presented with the activation screen. I've also read theories that this might differ between iPhones sold unlocked directly through Apple, and carrier-unlocked phones; though I don't really see why this should be the case. Personally, I don't own an unlocked iPhone at the moment but am sure that my upcoming iPhone 5 will be unlocked. I would therefore like to ask what people's experiences are with unlocked iPhones, swapping SIMS in iOS 6. Grant -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Email question
Hi, Has anyone noticed that when writing an email, but sending it To multiple addresses, One gets stuck in the cc/B CC field? What has happened to me, is when I entered in three email addresses, and I go to find the subject field, I get stuck in this Cc/B cc field. The only way I can find the subject field, is to remove the third email address, then write my email, then before sending, I Anter the third email address, and all goes well. Is this a possible bug in iOS six? I have already tried closing the app switcher and removing apps from it and rebooting the phone. I'm running iOS six onan iPhone 4S. Thanks, Shane.

Re: Explanation on iPad please
Hi Shane As far as I know, yes you do need to click on the tab to bring up the close tab button. There may be another way but I have not come across it. As for containers, these are major sections of the current UI. For example go to the Mail app and put the rotor option on containers. Now use the up and down flick to see how your focus is moved through the app. It is basically just another way of moving through an interface. You might like to check out my podcast on gestures specifically for the iPad in which I cover this topic.

Re: Placing My membership on vacation/hold
I haven't seen this message answered yet, although it's been discussed in the past. I hope I'm not answering a message that's already been answered. I'm not sure how you're trying to do this, i.e. what browser and screen reader you're using. I'm using Orca and Firefox, and what I do is follow the link at the bottom of each message. I make sure I'm logged in with the account I used to subscribe to the group. I then click on the My Membership button right above the list of messages in the group. There's then a button that just gives my current subscription option, such as Send a message for each post. I click on this button and a pull down menu shows up, and I can arrow to the No messages option. I'm not sure how much of this will work with your browser/screen reader combination. As I said, this topic has been discussed recently on the list. Here's such a message. Maybe this information will be more useful: I'm pasting in the reply I gave Teresa three months ago about how to change all membership options, including your mail preferences, nickname, and the email address you want to use for receiving list subscriptions for all mailing lists that you subscribe to via Google Groups. This and related questions have come up frequently enough of late to warrant a full post, but I personally use the search facility of the Mail Archive site to find these and other answers, including my own previous posts. I'm cc'ing this post to the viphone list, since it has the information on changing email subscription options, too. The mail-archive page for groups that are archived there is simply the posting address appended to the www.mail-archive.com address, so for macvisionaries the URL is: http://mail-archve.com/macvisionar...@googlegroups.com and for the viphone list the URL is: http://mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com I also use these web pages to read the list contents if I am traveling. If I am using an iOS device, I can type my search term in to the text box and press enter to find results, and then copy the URL of the relevant post to an email reply. If I am at my computer, I can read up and down the threads with access key combinations (Control-n for next message and Control-p for previous message in Safari on a Mac; for other browsers and platforms substitute the appropriate access key prefix -- such as Alt-n and Alt-p for Internet Explorer, or I think it is Alt-Shift-n and Alt-Shift-p for Firefox, etc.) Instructions on changing membership options follow: Begin forwarded message: From: Esther Subject: Re: The New Google Groups Site and viewing/changing membership options? Date: April 19, 2012 To: macvisionar...@googlegroups.com Hi Teresa, You can find a single page listing of all the Google Groups you belong to using the URL: http://groups.google.com/groups/mysubs?hl=en_USpli=1 This page has the entries for Manage My Memberships. There's a link to My Google Account that will let you change your email address, password, or nickname. Continue to navigate through the page to find your entries, which are form controls, for each one of the Google Groups you subscribe to, with your nickname, and pop up menus for your email address and subscription type. Here you can change your subscription options, for example, to No email, Digest email, Abridged email, or Unsubscribe. For some of the other options, you have to use the My Google Account link. The pop up menu for changing your email to an alternate email address on this page only works if those alternate email addresses are available from your main My Google Account settings -- you can't type in a new option directly on this page for managing your settings if you're entering completely new information for your account. But you can visit this page to turn off email temporarily while you're away on vacation, or opt for the digest format. And if you want to shift the list subscription email to a different email, you can visit the My Google Account link, make the changes and add other valid email addresses, and then come back to this page and set the pop up menu for that address. If you are not logged into your Google Groups account, when you try to use the URL link for managing your membership settings, you'll be prompted to log in with your email address and password. The email address you type in here is the email address you used when you created your Google Groups account. It does not have to be a gmail address, and it may not be your current email address. The current email that you want to use by default is one of the account settings that you can change in this process, if you use the My Google Account link on the page for managing your membership settings. To log out from your Google account, you need to navigate to the menu pop up link that has your name. (This is in the old Google Groups page layout, so it might be different for you.) You could use item chooser menu (VO-I) and type in your name (e.g., Teresa), then navigate to
