Re: A problem Pairing Braille Sense Plus with iPhone 5.
Hi David. Actually, the Braille Sense will connect in iOS 5.0, but not 5.1. Also, even in 5.1, it will still connect, but you will not be able to use any of the input keys for commands. It will only function as displaying the first 32 cells of whatever VoiceOver is reading. Unless the firmware version 7.0 has made it so that you cannot connect to 5.1 at all? I was running the prior firmware version when I ran in to snags with 5.1. Thank you for the word of warning about the Spring Board, it's good to know. Scott On 1/17/13, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: As I have stated several times, crashing the springboard has a slight chance of corrupting some data. Use at your own risk. Apple does not officially support the procedure, and blocked it when VO is not running. I suspect it working when VO is running was an oversight that is low on Apple's list of things to correct considering how few people use VO. Unfortunately, the proper reboot/warm reset of holding the power and home buttons for 10 seconds has a small chance of causing VO to reset in to the off position and reset three press home to no action. This necessitates using either iTunes, or a sighted person, to start VO again. In my testing, I found this deactivation of VO to occur around 10% of the time, and is only the case in iOS 6. It works perfectly in iOS 5. As for Braille Sense, Braille Sense will not connect in iOS 5, no matter what you try.

Scott On 1/16/13, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: If you are running iOS 6, there is a small chance that performing an official Apple reboot, holding in the home and power buttons for ten seconds, will cause Voice-Over to turn off. If this happens, you will need to either have a sighted person activate Voice-Over for you, or activate Voice-Over using iTunes. Pressing the power button rapidly six times when VO is running causes the springboard (the user interface) to suffer a fatal crash which forces the iPhone to turn off and back on. This only works when VO is turned on, and is the only reboot method that caused some minor data corruption on my iPhone about a year and a half ago. Since this crash is not officially endorsed or recommended by Apple, be aware you are taking a slight risk if you use it. As to your problem getting a Braille Sense connected, you must be running iOS 6. If you are running iOS 5, the Braille Sense will not connect no matter what you try.

Re: Switching voices
Hello Bob, I think you've misunderstood me. When VoiceOver defaults to a different language, such as on a web page which has the language tag set to a specific language, you can use the Language setting in the rotor to put it back to English. My Website is mostly set to French, and although my iPhone is running in English, opening my Website immediately defaults to French but I can switch back to English using the Rotor. If you only have the default language and have not set another language in Settings/General/International/Language, this option will probably not be available. The solution is to set another language or even another English-language voice and the option should appear.

Viseo thin light weight TV
No clue but here are some things to look for. The screen is thin like a half to 3 quarters of an inch. Mine has the screen slightly tilted back almost like a picture frame. These are the TVs made after January 2012. There aren't very many inputs and outputs. It can be used as a computer monitor but it's only a 19 inch screen. There is the usual TV audio out and video out plus audio and video in and it has a HDMI jack. Mine is a Viseo but other makers have them as well. We got it at either Walmart or Target. Note they have these newer sets but they also still have allot of the HD LCD sets and LED sets. You'll know one when you see it by the thin frame screen and light weight.

To make a long story short my original 4s was set up with voiceover tripple click home and after a while i noticed that the phone would become unresponsive when trying to use the touch screen after i turned off voice over. This issue would no happen all of the time but only on occasion in addition, I had also noticed that when closing apps using the app switcher that my phone would shut off by displaying a black screen with a white spinning circle. So i decided to replace my original Iphone 4s (which was purchased July 2012) Here i now am with my Iphone 4s replacement and I noticed that the same issues are happening as they did with my original Iphone, I am wondering if i should take it to an apple store which is most likely what I am going to do but, like mentioned above these problems are intermittent. I could not get the original phone to produce these issues when i took it to apple. What should i do with my replacement 4s? are there any diagnostic tests that apple can run to figure out why now 2 Iphone 4s are having the same issue? I remember that the guy that helpled me at apple said that if these issues happen again it could be application related, i doubt that because i started loading one app at a time on my replacement and the thing still mal functioned. Have posted this topic on here before and no list members report having these issues I want my Iphone to work but am at a loss as to what to do, in addition, I have a lynksis wrt54g2 router and my Iphone does not stay connected can i ask anyone on here if apple shuts off wi fi when the phone is locked? oh by the way, just in case anyone is curious before my Iphone 4s i had an Iphone 4 and yup u guessed it i had wifi issues to.

Dish Remote app suddenly changed
Hi, About a month ago, I updated my Dish app which turned out to be inaccessible. I then reverted back to the older version of the app, then I found out today That there was a new update for it. I didn't install it,but when I used it earlier today things were fine. Just now, however, I tried using it, and the version that was not accessible is somehow there. Why is this? I dn't update today.

amazon mp3 app

Re: amazon mp3 app
Mary you do not need an app, just go to: http://amazonmp3.com from Safari on your iPhone and you can purchase your music right from the browser and it will automatically be added to your cloud music drive which is accessible from the Cloud Player app. Amazon can't create a way for us to purchase their content from an iPhone app because if they did Apple would require them to pay them a third of any proceeds from the purchases.

(free): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itip-tip-calculator/id282914454?mt=8 This app is very accessible with a pretty clean interface and some nice options for mailing a record of the transaction, and also rounding up or down the total and splitting the bill. It's ad supported, but the ad is unobtrusive, and is the last element at the bottom of the screen, so will not get in your way. There is one unlabeled button in the top right corner of the screen that takes you to a settings screen, but you'll probably find the default settings work fine for you. The first item to fill in is the Bill Amount text field. Double tapping there brings up a keyboard in bottom third of the screen with 4 rows of number buttons in 3 columns, similar to a numerical keypad layout, and a 5th row with buttons for delete, clear, and done just above the number buttons. The top number row is 7 8 9, next is 4 5 6, then 1 2 3, and the bottom row is a 0 button that spans two columns in width with a decimal point (i.e., period button) at the bottom right corner. Enter the bill amount by double tapping the number keys and period button. If you make a mistake, double tapping the delete button just above the number 7 button will delete the last entered character. You can also erase the entire bill amount by double tapping the clear button just to the right of delete. When you are finished, double tap the done button at the far right, just above the number 9 button of the input keypad. This will close the input keyboard., and if you now check the Bill Amount it will show your entry in dollars. (You can obviously use the calculator for other currencies, but it automatically puts in a $ symbol. Also, the app always stores the last tip calculation entries you made, so even if you clear the bill amount and type in a 0 and double tap done, it will revert to the last real amount that you entered.) Flick right from the bill amount text field to Tip Percent and on to the buttons for 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, and other. By default 18% is selected, but you can change this. If you want to choose some other percent amount, double tap the other button, and use the input keypad to enter a new amount, taking care to first double tap the clear button on the keypad. Otherwise the current button selection amount will appear in this text field (e.g., 18%). Double tap done to escape the input keypad. If you enter a specific tip amount, a text field with that percentage will appear instead of the other button after buttons for 10%, 15%, 18%, and 20%. Double tapping any of those buttons will cause the fifth element to revert back from a text field to the other button. Flick right past the buttons for tip percent to the Tip Amount text field, which will display the calculated tip amount. If you flick right past the tip amount text field, you'll reach the Grand Total text field that gives the Bill Amount plus Tip Amount, preceded by buttons for hyphen (really the minus sign) and plus. Now this is a cool feature: if you want round up or down the total amount to whole dollars, double tap the plus or hyphen buttons. Each double tap will increase or decrease the grand total by a dollar. And if you flick left back to the tip percent, you'll find a text field with corresponding tip amount expressed as a tip percent. The tip amount text field (in dollars) also gets updated. So you can adjust the grand total by however many dollars rounded up or down you wish, and go back to check the corresponding tip percentage that is used. Next cool feature is the Split Bill options. Like the Tip Percent there are standard button options of 1, 2, 3, and 4 followed by an other button that you can double tap to enter some other number via the input keyboard. As with the tip percent entry, double tap the clear button before choosing your entry numbers, and double tap the done button above the 9 button to exit. Flicking right from the split bill options takes you to the Person Total entries for split bills, with a listing of the individual tip amount. As with the Grand Total the amount in the text field for each person can be adjusted up or down to round to whole dollar amounts by using the plus and hyphen buttons before the text field for Person Total.

Otherwise the current button selection amount will appear in this text field (e.g., 18%). Double tap done to escape the input keypad. If you enter a specific tip amount, a text field with that percentage will appear instead of the other button after buttons for 10%, 15%, 18%, and 20%. Double tapping any of those buttons will cause the fifth element to revert back from a text field to the other button. Flick right past the buttons for tip percent to the Tip Amount text field, which will display the calculated tip amount. If you flick right past the tip amount text field, you'll reach the Grand Total text field that gives the Bill Amount plus Tip Amount, preceded by buttons for hyphen (really the minus sign) and plus. Now this is a cool feature: if you want round up or down the total amount to whole dollars, double tap the plus or hyphen buttons. Each double tap will increase or decrease the grand total by a dollar. And if you flick left back to the tip percent, you'll find a text field with corresponding tip amount expressed as a tip percent. The tip amount text field (in dollars) also gets updated. So you can adjust the grand total by however many dollars rounded up or down you wish, and go back to check the corresponding tip percentage that is used. Next cool feature is the Split Bill options. Like the Tip Percent there are standard button options of 1, 2, 3, and 4 followed by an other button that you can double tap to enter some other number via the input keyboard. As with the tip percent entry, double tap the clear button before choosing your entry numbers, and double tap the done button above the 9 button to exit. Flicking right from the split bill options takes you to the Person Total entries for split bills, with a listing of the individual tip amount. As with the Grand

However here's another suggestion that might do what you want: . iTip (tip calculator) by PalaSoftware, Inc. (free): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itip-tip-calculator/id282914454?mt=8 This app is very accessible with a pretty clean interface and some nice options for mailing a record of the transaction, and also rounding up or down the total and splitting the bill. It's ad supported, but the ad is unobtrusive, and is the last element at the bottom of the screen, so will not get in your way. There is one unlabeled button in the top right corner of the screen that takes you to a settings screen, but you'll probably find the default settings work fine for you. The first item to fill in is the Bill Amount text field. Double tapping there brings up a keyboard in bottom third of the screen with 4 rows of number buttons in 3 columns, similar to a numerical keypad layout, and a 5th row with buttons for delete, clear, and done just above the number buttons. The top number row is 7 8 9, next is 4 5 6, then 1 2 3, and the bottom row is a 0 button that spans two columns in width with a decimal point (i.e., period button) at the bottom right corner. Enter the bill amount by double tapping the number keys and period button. If you make a mistake, double tapping the delete button just above the number 7 button will delete the last entered character. You can also erase the entire bill amount by double tapping the clear button just to the right of delete. When you are finished, double tap the done button at the far right, just above the number 9 button of the input keypad. This will close the input keyboard., and if you now check the Bill Amount it will show your entry in dollars. (You can obviously use the calculator for other currencies, but it automatically puts in a $ symbol. Also, the app always stores the last tip calculation entries you made, so even if you clear the bill amount and type in a 0 and double tap done, it will revert to the last real amount that you entered.) Flick right from the bill amount text field to Tip Percent and on to the buttons for 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, and other. By default 18% is selected, but you can change this. If you want to choose some other percent amount, double tap the other button, and use the input keypad to enter a new amount, taking care to first double tap the clear button on the keypad. Otherwise the current button selection amount will appear in this text field (e.g., 18%). Double tap done to escape the input keypad. If you enter a specific tip amount, a text field with that percentage will appear instead of the other button after buttons for 10%, 15%, 18%, and 20%. Double tapping any of those buttons will cause the fifth element to revert back from a text field to the other button.

RE: List recorder recording volume
Hi Negoslav, There are 4 gestures which actually aren't gestures so much as motions, tilt left, tilt right, flip back and tilt forward. There is tilt left and right. Think of holding a glass of water, tilt left would be tipping the glass towards the leftand tilt right would be tipping it to the right. With List recorder you would hold your iPhone in a similar fashion, mostly vertically in front of you. If, for example, you are in a Note or Voice Memo you created and want to go back, you can double tap the Back button at the top left of the screen or you can tilt your phone to the left about 45 degrees or so just as you would tip a glass to poor out the water. The iPhone's built-in gyroscope detects that motion and the developer of List Recorder programmed the app so that a left tilt goes back one level. I can't recall right now what tilt right does, but tilting it forward (bring the top of the phone towards you if you are holding it in front of you) will read the task bar and a snappy tilt back or as they call it backflip will bring up the delete dialogue.

So yes, the gesture can start the recording without any tapping. You can also tilt the phone right and when you hear add item double tap and you will be in a new item and on the record button. my preferred method to record quickly is to keep list recorder in my doc on the far left. I open the app and then tap Record new item , which is also on the bottom left. I'm then immediately making a recording. Hope this info helps.

Re: Reading .brf Files On The iPhone
They're already in Grade 2 Braille when they're produced. This is why you turn contractions off. You don't want to do a double-translation on the file.

Re: Accessible tip calculator
Hi all, do you all know how many list members it takes to change a light bulb? Hmm, let's remember that sometimes the best way to deal with a rude response on list is to simply ignore it. Responding simply adds fuel to the flame. Below I highly recommend the following which explains why it's a good idea to ignore posts which you don't like, are offended by, or are just plain not necessary on a public list. In short, if the discussion is turning sower, how about just not responding. http://www.repeater-builder.com/humor/how-many-list-members.html -- Raul A.

Hello all. It's about that time again to remind people that thank you messages sent to the list are considered off topic.

If you are sending a thank you message for 1 or 2 people, then over 1300 members are getting blasted with this kind of message and it just adds to the already high traffic on list.

Re: thank you, thank you, I agree, yes, no
Hi, I completely agree with you, and yes it is possible to make this change. However since we get many newbies to the list, it's been configured by default for replies to go to the list. If it was up to me though, I'd switch it in a heartbeat. It's easier to consciously reply to the list, instead of consciously reply to the sender and so the end result would be less traffic. However I've also seen people just do a reply-to-all and continue to send off topic messages anyway. So, even this isn't a full proof solution. -- Raul A.

RE: Home automation
Hi Traci, I unfortunately really have to get to work so I don't have time for a long message. However, one item that has been discussed on here quite a bit is the Radio Thermostat from www.RadioThermostat.com. It is a WiFi enabled thermostat which does come with a mostly accessible app. I say mostly because the programming function is not so great, but just controlling your thermostat from anywhere in the world where your iPhone is online either via WiFi or data is perfect. You can see the current temperature, the target temperature and, if you wish, you can turn up the temperature or turn it down. If you search the archives for Radio Thermostat or even just Thermostat you should find a bunch of messages and you can always go to their website as well. I know some people on the list bought this at Home Depot for $99. A few weeks ago somebody posted a message about a new Philipps light bulb which is sold I think in a set of 3. They are LED and expensive, but nothing else is needed to control them. You can turn the lights on/off, dim them and I think even change the colour. I have no idea if the app is accessible, it's a very new product, but I believe the article mentioned that this is sold in Apple Stores and I assume if that is so they would also have it on their online store. Connected appliances have been shown off at CES fpor at least 3 years now, but I don't think anything has really come to the market yet. In fact I read an article last week that Bosch, for example, is at this point actually stating they are not getting into this because of a lack of a standard. Of course this doesn't mean others won't come up with proprietary systems.

Re: thank you, thank you, I agree, yes, no
Raul, if we could use Ctrl-R to reply to sender and the ctrl-Shift-R command to reply to everybody, I think that would go a long way toward cutting down on traffic. It's a lot easier to hit one keystroke than to locate the original sender's e-mail address when it comes to the use of G Mail, I'm assuming this is a G Mail change from what we are used to on the Windows side.

Re: thank you, thank you, I agree, yes, no
I agree. *end of message*. Just kidding. Seriously though, I think regardless of whether the list is set to reply to list or to sender, the same questions will be asked over and over. This is just the nature of the beast. Also, most people seem to want to ask a question and wait for several responses, some of which will be incorrect, instead of using the list archives. it's a sad truth, but there it is.

Re: Accessible tip calculator
I think in the 2 years I've had my iPhone I've tried out a hundred free apps at one time or another. Most of which sooner or later were deleted. Some because they went from accessible such as the Walmart app to only partly accessible or totally not accessible. Others I found I didn't really need or want and a few I still have. The point is, it didn't cost me a dime to try them out Regardless of whether or not I keep them, they were still fun to play with. Each person has to choose for themselves which apps are useful to them and which aren't. I personally think a tip calculator is a belly laugh. I think tips should be based upon service and not because somebody else says you should. That's what I believe and everybody else has the right to believe and act accordingly as they see fit.

re: thank you, thank you, I agree, yes, no
Hi Raul, I've seen this function on Google Groups before. Personally, I propose we hand out a survey about drastic changes like this. Another short-term solution could be to ask people to write some hash tags when the person feels it is off topic message. However, I think the greatest solution is if members think about their posts before being sent to this list and other mailing lists as well, which could cut down bandwidth (somewhat).

Re: thank you, thank you, I agree, yes, no
One thing I've noticed, if you do reply to all, then it goes to the whole list as it should. However, if you just hit reply, it does the same thing. So, how about making this simpler. For me on the Mac it's command R to reply and control R for window users. So, reply to all, for me it would be command shift R and for window users control shift R to do the same. So Raul, make it simple, if those of us hit one or the other stroke, we'll get reply to all to go to the list and reply only goes to sender. Will that do? Kawal.

RE: thank you, thank you, I agree, yes, no
Is there an efficient way to get a senders email address to reply directly to them? Currently, the several step process I follow is below. Admittedly, it's not excessive, but if there was a key combination, such as Ctrl-Shift-R (just guessing) it might be quicker, easier, and more likely to be used. Now, the steps I follow when on my PC are: 1. Shift-tab back from the message to the From field. 2. Highlight the text with a Control-UpArrow (JAWS) 3. Copy the From text to the Clipboard 4. Initiate a Reply message. 5. Paste the copied address text in the Reply message area. 6 Edit the pasted text from the From line in the original message, to get only the person's email address. 7. Highlight and cut edited email address. 8. Shift-tab back to the SendTo field 9. Paste senders email address 10. Tab to the message area to write my Reply 11.

RE: Accessible tip calculator

Re: Reading .brf Files On The iPhone
Hi Teresa, I'm confused. What I think you said is that it is possible to read brf files if you first convert them to epub for importation into iBooks. How the heck do you convert a brf file into an epub? And once you did that, then wouldn't it be translated out of braille grade II into regular print in the epub form? So you'd need a braille translator together with a program that converted the text from the braille translator into epub? And then you would have to read that file with grade II translation turned on. Clearly, I'm missing some big step here.

RE: Home automation
When I talked to Verizon TechSupport last weekend, the representative asked if I'd heard about WeMo. I hadn't. It's a system by Belkin which is driven by an app. I have no idea if it's accessible or anything else. Here's the link to the app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wemo/id511376996?mt=8 And, here's the itunes description: Description App controls the WeMo Switch and WeMo Motion. The iPhone home remote. Control stuff in your home - from anywhere. Introducing WeMo. Belkin's new WeMo system is a family of simple, ingenious products that use your iPhone and your home Wi-Fi(r) network to connect you to the things and people you love. WeMo is your home at your fingertips. WeMo can control just about anything. With WeMo you can turn on a light from another room, or turn it off from across town. You can put your home on a schedule-living room lights go on in the evening, kids' TV goes off at bedtime. You can check to make sure you turned the iron off, after you've already left. WeMo Switch is the iPhone home remote. The Complete WeMo System. The WeMo App runs on your iPhone and controls any electronic device you plug into a WeMo Switch-if you can plug it in, you can turn it on or off with WeMo. And WeMo Motion lets you control the devices when motion is detected. Have the floor lamp go on when you enter the living room, and turn off when you leave. WeMo Switch and WeMo Motion are available at major retailers. The WeMo family of products is great at automating repetitive tasks, and at allowing you to control your household in ways you'd never thought possible. The beauty of WeMo is it's completely modular. You can control as much or as little of your home as you like. Control one light, one room, or the whole house. There's no limit to what WeMo can do. If you can think of it, you can probably do it with WeMo. WeMo is your home at your fingertips.

syncing Ipad with MBP15 continued.
Hi, folks: Thanks to all who've been very helpful to me so far in learning the Ipad 3. Today, I charged it via the USB cable to my MBP15, and it came up in Itunes just as it should. I authorized backup over WIFI now, too, so the hard connection won't be necessary. Now, I understand that the Ipad was backed up to my computer (Though I cannot find this backup anywhere through Finder). What I wanted to do, however, though, was sync all my contacts from the MTP 8ONTO* the Ipad, so that it would know all my mail addresses, etc. I have no evidence this was done, or that it can be done. Also, I'm having a hard time making Mail perform in a way I understand. For one thing, Gmail insists on showing me messages from June, 2011!, which I can deal with, but I cannot figure out how to move quickly between messages, either in list or in body (I'd prefer to navigate by the regard,ing, subject line column), and I don't understand how to select all and delete them from my Inbox when I'm dong. Is there a podcast I can inhale on how Mail works in IOS6? My last question would be how to get audio books or music from the Macbook ONTO the Pad, assumedly through Itunes, manually? I have 86GB of music and only 27GB free on the Ipad. :) Thanks, all! • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ Mark BurningHawk Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 Home page: Http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

I hate seeing my AppStore listing 6 new items, and remembering that those 6 are apps I just don't want any more. Thanks.

Most of which sooner or later were deleted. Some because they went from accessible such as the Walmart app to only partly accessible or totally not accessible. Others I found I didn't really need or want and a few I still have. The point is, it didn't cost me a dime to try them out Regardless of whether or not I keep them, they were still fun to play with. Each person has to choose for themselves which apps are useful to them and which aren't. I personally think a tip calculator is a belly laugh.

As for the battery this is not so easy since iDevices all have built-in batteries which are not user replaceable. There are kits you can buy which include the appropriate battery and tools you need to open up an iDevice (Apple designed a special screw and you need the special screw driver to remove it), but it is definitely something you only want to attempt if you are very technically inclined and I'm not sure if it would be feasible for a completely blind person. You could probably find repair places not affiliated with Apple that would do this, but depending on what they charge it may not be worth it.

Re: Reading .brf Files On The iPhone
Hi, Mary, IOS has a built[in translator to convert text into Grade Two Braille. As an aside, it does not have a back-translation program to convert brf files into Grade One. A brf file is actually a plain ASCII text file with normal characters that represent Braille. There is no special computer formatting for a brf file. Therefore, this same text is rendered accurately when it's placed into an epub file. You can use Stanza to convert files to epub. You can also use TextEdit to export the files to pdf format. Again, the text, completely translated into Grade Two as originally produced by NLS, is rendered perfectly. It looks perfect on a Braille display, but since the characters represent Braille, it will be spoken as gibberish if you use speech. I hope this helps. :) Teresa On the other hand, there are different fingers. On Jan 18, 2013, at 1:20 PM, Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Teresa, I'm confused.

List replies [was Re: thank you, thank you, I agree, yes, no]
The lists I'm on at the moment are split pretty much between the reply function going to the list versus the reply function going directly to the sender. I actually see more people complaining about the situation where the replies go directly to the sender than I see people complaining about how this list is set up where the replies go out onto the list. When replies don't go on to the list people complain that they miss messages and that they forget to copy the list since it's such a non-standard behaviour. I guess what I'm saying is that there isn't going to be a consensus on how the list should be set up. I use Thunderbird for most of my email handling. I use control+shift+l if I want a message to go directly to the list, regardless of how the list is set up. Depending on how the list is set up, I either use control+r to reply or control+shift+r to reply to all and check the address to make sure it's going to the sender and not the list. It's been a while, but in the past I've used Lotus Notes, Outlook Express, Outlook and Windows Live Mail with either JAWS or NVDA. I don't remember how I did it, but I was always able to direct replies to the list or to the sender. IMHO, it's everyone's responsibility to understand the list rules and how to use their email client and screen reader. I'm not saying changes can't be made to make it easier for the bulk of the users, but these changes won't solve all of the problems and won't take the place of common sense and good list etiquette and behaviour.

Re: Problem with clock alarm and DND in 6.0.2
If I remember right, it was in the documentation for the Clock Chimes app. It was explaining that if your clock chimes app quits chiming it may be due to the number of events and then went on to explained that you can only have ex amount of events in a 24 hour period. When I switched the frequency of chime events from quarterly to hourly, I could increase the amount of hours the clock chimes app would sound. The app has been updated a time or two sense I read that but I see no reason why it still wouldn't be included.

Re: thank you, thank you, I agree, yes, no
Hi Joseph and anyone else interested. Whatever changes happen to the list will be after Cara Quinn, the list owner and I talk about it. I won't do a survey since the running of the list and the details of it is not a democracy. If any changes happen or don't happen, people are welcome to leave or join the list as they see fit. Also, I completely disagree with the suggestion of off topic warnings or hash tags since that to me would just invite more off topic postings. On the other hand I completely agree that if people just take the time to think about what they post before they post it, it would greatly cut down on off topic or useless messages. Note that valid, on topic questions, and debates of iOS apps, Voice Over, iDevices, and the like are completely welcome. It's things like thank you messages, ethics of tipping, whether one app should be used by all or boycotted by others, non-iOS questions, and rude comments if someone doesn't agree with what's said, which tends to drive many list members nuts. If you or anyone else is interested in discussing this further, please email me off list since when I first wrote this message, it was to remind people about one liners and thank you messages, not to open a debate of what changes, if any, should be made to the list. Thanks, and take care. -- Raul A.

Personally, I propose we hand out a survey about drastic changes like this. Another short-term solution could be to ask people to write some hash tags when the person feels it is off topic message.

It's about that time again to remind people that thank you messages sent to the list are considered off topic. This is because if you want to show your gratitude to the person who gave you the answer to life, the universe, and everything, it's best sent to that person directly rather than to the entire list. If there are 1400 members on list, and you are one of them, that leaves 1399 members. If you are sending a thank you message for 1 or 2 people, then over 1300 members are getting blasted with this kind of message and it just adds to the already high traffic on list. Yes, I agree that saying thank you is a form of politeness, and considering some of the messages of late on whether to tip or not, it's painfully obvious that some list members still act like children, but still, please send your thank you, I agree messages, or similarly worded ones, directly to the sender when warranted.

removing unwanted apps for good - Was Re: Accessible tip calculator
Hi, there are several ways. I'll list one. All you have to do is go to iTunes on your computer if you use that, and erase them from the apps section. iTunes will ask you if the app should be moved to the recycle bin in the case of Windows. You should say yes to that prompt as well. Otherwise, iTunes merely removes the app from its database. In either case, it will not sync with your phone any more. If you are not using iTunes, then simply delete the app in question from your phone and it will stay uninstalled. Cheers. -- Raul A.

RE: Accessible tip calculator
Can you tell me more? I just used my iPhone and checked AppStore Updates and Purchased Apps. I see an option to select All Apps or only Apps Not installed on the iPhone. Then it enters the list of apps, and announces the app name and the option to install. At the bottom of the apps list, it goes right to the usual tabs on the bottom, Featured, Top, something, Search, Update. I couldn't find an option to hide. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Teresa Cochran Sent: Friday, January 18, 2013 4:22 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Accessible tip calculator You can hide apps that you don't want to update.

Others I found I didn't really need or want and a few I still have. The point is, it didn't cost me a dime to try them out Regardless of whether or not I keep them, they were still fun to play with. Each person has to choose for themselves which apps are useful to them and which aren't. I personally think a tip calculator is a belly laugh.

This is that if I choose another voice other than US English, I do not have the voice change every time the screen refreshes. The good testing voice for this purpose is Australian English.

There is no special computer formatting for a brf file. Therefore, this same text is rendered accurately when it's placed into an epub file. You can use Stanza to convert files to epub. You can also use TextEdit to export the files to pdf format. Again, the text, completely translated into Grade Two as originally produced by NLS, is rendered perfectly. It looks perfect on a Braille display, but since the characters represent Braille, it will be spoken as gibberish if you use speech.

iBooks with braile display
I thought I understood that it is possible to move around on a page using a braille display in iBooks, and also how to stay in the text area when transitioning from one page to another. So here is my confusion. When reading and I get to the last line on the page, the next pan of the dysplay moves into the page chooser area, but a pan left skips over the text area and takes me back to the first line, not at all what is wanted. Is there no way to pan backwards through a page once you've gotten into the page number and page chooser area at the bottom of the screen? I suppose, although I should have tried this before sending this note that, once back at the top of the text area, if I press the next page space plus o, I will be placed on the top of the subsequent page. So then the only question is how to get back into the page I just read but not be taken all the way to the top. This is with a brailliant tbi32. Thanks.

VoiceOver Sounds with a Braille Display

Re: VoiceOver Sounds with a Braille Display
I usually mute voiceover by 3-finger double tap. I recommend we email: accessibil...@apple.com if we'd like the feature of muting all voiceover sounds. Personally, I'd like a setting under braille to go into some sort of private mode. Silent voiceover, silent voiceover sounds, and turn on screen curtain. All with one selection. Then maybe this could be added to the rotor for quick toggle on and off. A lot of the time, I don't want to mute my phone and silence alerts and ringers. :) Traci 1 step, 2 step, ... 1,311 steps!

Re: VoiceOver Sounds with a Braille Display
Well, maybe I'm nuts, but when I had speech muted messing around on my iPad and the 4S, I sure don't remember hearing those clicks. My phone's charging right now, but I just tried again on the iPad, and no clicks or folder and app opening sounds etc are heard with speech muted. I did have to repair my iPad though. I can't remember if you are suppose to turn off the display prior to locking the screen or the other way around.

Re: Reading .brf Files On The iPhone

As an aside, it does not have a back-translation program to convert brf files into Grade One. A brf file is actually a plain ASCII text file with normal characters that represent Braille. There is no special computer formatting for a brf file. Therefore, this same text is rendered accurately when it's placed into an epub file. You can use Stanza to convert files to epub. You can also use TextEdit to export the files to pdf format. Again, the text, completely translated into Grade Two as originally produced by NLS, is rendered perfectly. It looks perfect on a Braille display, but since the characters represent Braille, it will be spoken as gibberish if you use speech. I hope this helps. :) Teresa On the other hand, there are different fingers. On Jan 18, 2013, at 1:20 PM, Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Teresa, I'm confused. What I think you said is that it is possible to read brf files if you first convert them to epub for importation into iBooks. How the heck do you convert a brf file into an epub?

So you'd need a braille translator together with a program that converted the text from the braille translator into epub? And then you would have to read that file with grade II translation turned on. Clearly, I'm missing some big step here.
