Re: Blindsquare: my favourite iOS navigation app thus far
Just a correction, I did not mean to state that one can search by exact street address--this seems to not be available. However, address ranges are announced when walking and you can of course search by the business name. It also knows about plenty of other residential locations, too. The other information I provided should be correct. Cheers. On 1/19/13, Grant Hardy grantha...@gmail.com wrote: I know this app has been discussed on list before, but just wanted to mention that in my experience, BlindSquare, which uses open street map data and FourSquare points of interest, offers me the best experience analogous to holding a Trekker Breeze or a Sendero GPS system while walking. The information can be a little verbose, but you can change what gets announced. Cross streets are consistently announced as well as your heading, which do not work reliably for me in other apps. Ariadne misses lots of cross streets, and Apple Maps with VoiceOver repeats many data numerous times while omitting lots of cross streets. Blindsquare can also track your distance and direction from any of the POIs it knows about, a custom address, or even a custom POI. So you have both commercial POIs and custom POIs in the same app, which is a nice bonus. No turn by turn directions are available, but it's easy to select an address or a POI and tell BlindSquare to open another navigation app such as Apple Maps or Navigon, with the destination already set up so you can easily plan a route. And since BlindSquare uses its own speech rather than VoiceOver, it'll continue talking even while your device is locked or while you're in another navigation app. Sorry if this is common knowledge, but just wanted to offer this brief review because I've been very very impressed with an app that I never thought I'd use--I don't use FourSquare! With BlindSquare, I feel confident that most of the data you'd expect to hear from a blindness specific GPS device will be there for me.

Re: Blindsquare: my favourite iOS navigation app thus far
I couldn't help but chime in here to further praise BlindSquare. I have used every gps out there even trekker for packmate which never saw the light of day. BlindSquare is unbelievable! What it really is is not so much a gps program like navigon but really the best! pair of eyes bar none a blind person can have. After all that is what we really miss most of the time what stores are we passing, what street are we approaching etc. I live in New York city, in the heart of midtown manhattan and let me tell you I have found out about more things in my neighborhood that I never knew were there with Blindsquare then all the gps apps, restaurant apps restaurant menu apps etc. put together. Its truly amazing! I only wish I had made the time to nominate it for the appleviz awards for 2012 because unfortunately this app I feel has been very much overlooked. I tended to overlook it as well when it first came out and I truly regret that. While I am no fan of 4square, the concept of using things like 4square to provide info is a great! one. Companies like Sendero, navigon mosionX pay big fees to companies like navtech for POI data and so many times that data is quite inaccurate very outdated and to say the least incomplete. The approach BlindSquare takes to POI info makes so much sense because the information is always being updated by people like you and I visiting these places. Just my opinion but if you have been on the fence take a look at this app, give it the attention it deserves and I can't imagine you will regret it.

Re: syncing Ipad with MBP15 continued.
Hi, David. I told both Gmail on the server (I think) and Mail on the Mac to delete copies of messages from the server after download, but no one ever listens. :) So, yes, I'll have to slay this particular hydra as well. I seem to be consistently having a problem with the Slide one finger up or down, gesture. I think it's being confused with my swipe. There's an adjustable page scroll spot on my home screen that I cannot seem to slide up or down to change value, but can split-tape it. Same thing with my double tap and hold, gesture; when switching the keyboard between letters and numbers or symbols, When I double-tap the more, spot, it'll say, more, numbers, then I have to double tap and hold again to get the numbers to actually appear. It's almost three gestures in one just to switch the keyboard map. When I slide up or down to change a value, Vo seems to interpret this as a swipe or two-finger flick-up and starts reading the whole screen. Every time I check the rotor, it's set to containers. So, maybe I need to refine my gestures a bit more. But, I've taken this thing out of the boxes and am now up to using Skype, so I'll get the rest; I look forward to playing with it.

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.

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: syncing Ipad with MBP15 continued.
For the moment, I'musing standard typing. I'll switch to touch typing eventually, but for now I like to split-tap when I am sure I've got the letter I want. I'm not slow, I have a hearing loss, and I have like eight passwords that NEED to be entered correctly or else all sorts of cluster arrangements will occur. So, if I split tap on the More, numbers, button, I hear a faint click, but the keyboard is still the same. If I touch more, numbers, then lift up, double tap and hold, I hear a different noise which is a three-tone noise, which means to me the keyboard has changed, and sure enough, it has. I'm not sure what Im doing here that's nonstandard. And, no, I'm sorry, but there are no other fingers accidentally touching the screen; this was the first habit I cured myself of a long time ago. No, I think perhaps there's some misinterpretation involved when the IOS says Slide up or down to change the value, but Voiceover says double tap to change the value. I'm wondering if this is a similar occurrence to when I power down the Ipad and VO says slide to power off, but what is needed is a double-tap there. In the case of the sliding up or down, it's important if I want to slide my way through a message list, for example, and split-tap to select for deletion when I've pressed the edit button. Once I figure an efficient, fast way to sort through Mail, I'll be able to start using my pad for just about everything I use my laptop for. Already.

Re: Blindsquare: my favourite iOS navigation app thus far
Now this is a testament with as packed in as it can be in places like New York! Stores on top of stores and such! I'll have to give blind square a try next time I'm in Toronto and see how it does, but I like it for our city as well, have learned a thing or two about stuff I didn't even know was around, which is very nice. I've had sighted people tell me they didn't know where a place was when I know darn well it was in a certain plaza just not exactly where and they can read the darn signs! But blind square got us there right up to the door.. well, that and the dogs!

I have used every gps out there even trekker for packmate which never saw the light of day. BlindSquare is unbelievable! What it really is is not so much a gps program like navigon but really the best! pair of eyes bar none a blind person can have. After all that is what we really miss most of the time what stores are we passing, what street are we approaching etc. I live in New York city, in the heart of midtown manhattan and let me tell you I have found out about more things in my neighborhood that I never knew were there with Blindsquare then all the gps apps, restaurant apps restaurant menu apps etc. put together. Its truly amazing! I only wish I had made the time to nominate it for the appleviz awards for 2012 because unfortunately this app I feel has been very much overlooked. I tended to overlook it as well when it first came out and I truly regret that. While I am no fan of 4square, the concept of using things like 4square to provide info is a great! one. Companies like Sendero, navigon mosionX pay big fees to companies like navtech for POI data and so many times that data is quite inaccurate very outdated and to say the least incomplete. The approach BlindSquare takes to POI info makes so much sense because the information is always being updated by people like you and I visiting these places. Just my opinion but if you have been on the fence take a look at this app, give it the attention it deserves and I can't imagine you will regret it.

Ipad 3 and the hearing aids, button in settings
Hi, listers: This morning, while playing with Settings, in Accessibility, I clicked a hearing aids, button. Ipad began searching for devices. I assumed it was searching for something like my Icom, a streamer box for my hearing aids, so I quickly put it into pairing mode, but they didn't find one another. Is this a bad guess on my part, and if so, what does this actually do?

RE: Ipad 3 and the hearing aids, button in settings
Don't know about the hearing aid setting but you can pair the ICom with your phone via bluetooth. You can answer and hang-up phone calls with the big button on the front of the ICom. According to some Phonak customers you can use a Panasonic KX-TG-774x phone with the Icom or Com Pilot. This allows you to use a landline phone hands free and have the much better audio. My audiologist, who is very knowledgeable and help get some of my suggestions incorporated in the new Com Pilot, wasn't aware of this. It took several days of web crawling and a number of phone calls to even get the various reps to understand what I want to do. I live in the booneys so a friend tried several stores in Phoenix and Dallas but none would allow him to try to connect to his Com Pilot.

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.

So you'd need a braille translator together with a program that converted the text from the braille translator into epub?

But anyways, I like it because I like to play cool games in it and it passes my time on the bus and anywhere I am bored. Some of the games I found from this list and other lists I am subscribed to are very very addicting. I have music downloaded from my PC and I put it on my IPOD from Itunes and I can listen to it. The battery is awesome! At least ffor my schedule. Half of the day, I am in school and stuff so I don't use it as much but tha's just my opinion. Thanks!

I got the iPad mini, because the battery life on the 4s and iTouch are less than satisfactory at least for me. I'm on paratransit to and from work and school a lot, sometimes hours in a day. Once I got the iPad mini, it was really nice to be able to play games on the bus, and only have the battery percentage drop just a few percentages in three hours time. I would've never been able to do that with the touch or 4s. I like having the iPhone 4s, so I can check emails while traveling. And the iPad mini is really easy to type on, especially with the help of fleksy. Hope this helps, Courtney On Jan 20, 2013, at 3:23 PM, Eric SS sseri...@gmail.com wrote: I would like opinions/experiences from those totally blind/Voiceover dependent IPad Mini users. If you have an IPhone too, do you have any regrets for purchasing the IPad? I mean, do you find it really isn't useful. Or maybe it is most useful. So, how and where? For those with WIFI or WIFI plus cellular, do you wish you had gotten cellular or do you find you don't really need cellular? I have the IPhone 4S and an ITouch. I am wondering if I really want to purchase a Mini. It seems the only advantage would be having one with cellular. Otherwise, I am afraid I might just be burdening myself with a larger ITouch.

I'm hoping someone can help me maybe fix the way I'm doing things to make the experience better. Moving line by line on several apps to read documents while editing is frustrating. Sometimes Voiceover will read only part of a line. Sometimes it repeats a line, and if it only catches a fraction of a line, it will tell me words are misspelled. I have not found a way to jump paragraph by paragraph. Is there a way to select text from the cursor to the beginning or end of a document? These things seem small. Yet, the combination makes it difficult to produce anything of value on the iPad. Can someone give me tips on what they're using to make editing and general navigation a little smoother?

I've been on this list for a couple of weeks, but I just now got my phone up and talking. I haven't activated it yet, but I do have a wireless connection here so I can at least practice other things besides using it as a phone. I'm using VZW as my wireless provider as well. I really need a detailed description of the phone's physical layout before moving on. I have a really good book from National Braille press, but it doesn't discuss the iPhone 5, at least not that I can find. I'm using an Otter Box case, so I can access most everything without removing the phone. Anyone know where I can get this info so it makes more sense from a nonvisual perspective?

Re: Escape The House: A 3D Sound Experience
My only concern with something like this, is that if a third person saw you when imersed in something like it, that they don't call the anonymous van with the straight jackets and men in white coats. I was at a blind school, some of the kids did get imersed in purely imaginary games and day dreams; and they'd rock and spin and roll their heads and all that; quite habitually.. and yes, they were treated as Nuts!

Initial testing suggests that it will be playable. Description: Inspired by the most frightening moments from the movie House At The End of The Street, this immersive 3D sound experience pulls you in and traps you in the darkness. Using the gyroscope and the 3D audio features on your device, you must blindly find your way out and escape the House. Be warned - it won’t be easy to hear your way out of this nightmare. It's pitch dark - you hear footsteps coming from above. Frozen with fear your heart starts pounding. All of a sudden you are grabbed from behind. You hear yourself struggle, but it's no use. Someone has you in a deathly tight grip and is forcing you down the stairs. You hear chains rattling and realize you are getting chained up to something. The perpetrator leaves, and this is your chance to escape… Your heart is pounding fast, but you need to focus! Timing is everything. Your end goal is to avoid the killer and escape the house by walking, running, shaking your phone, hiding and screaming into the microphone at the right moments - all in complete darkness. FEATURES: SHAKE your device to free yourself from the chains. EXPLORE, WALK, RUN using your device’s gyroscope, you’ll need to turn your body 360 degrees – be careful of what you can’t see! SNEAK upstairs by tapping your screen - not too fast, not too slow. HIDE Don’t move your phone and don’t make any sound, because if you do, he’ll hear you and catch you! SHOUT if you manage to escape the house. Scream into the mic as loud as you can to get attention. If you’re too quiet, you won’t be heard and cannot be saved.

Re: Blindsquare: my favourite iOS navigation app thus far
Excellent points Don, I have no idea what finally made me decide to buy the app but I definitely never would have considered using it in the past. I never use FourSquare, and I didn't imagine the app would be that much different from other blindness-specific GPS apps. But within the first few minutes of using it, I realized that it truly was a different paradigm and in general, gives me the information I want to know. I'm sure you're right, that getting data from Foursquare yields information other maps simply don't know about. If only iOS allowed us to try apps before purchasing them, BlindSquare would have been on my phone a lot sooner. Grant On 1/20/13, Don Breda don.br...@gmail.com wrote: I couldn't help but chime in here to further praise BlindSquare. I have used every gps out there even trekker for packmate which never saw the light of day. BlindSquare is unbelievable! What it really is is not so much a gps program like navigon but really the best! pair of eyes bar none a blind person can have. After all that is what we really miss most of the time what stores are we passing, what street are we approaching etc. I live in New York city, in the heart of midtown manhattan and let me tell you I have found out about more things in my neighborhood that I never knew were there with Blindsquare then all the gps apps, restaurant apps restaurant menu apps etc. put together. Its truly amazing! I only wish I had made the time to nominate it for the appleviz awards for 2012 because unfortunately this app I feel has been very much overlooked. I tended to overlook it as well when it first came out and I truly regret that. While I am no fan of 4square, the concept of using things like 4square to provide info is a great! one. Companies like Sendero, navigon mosionX pay big fees to companies like navtech for POI data and so many times that data is quite inaccurate very outdated and to say the least incomplete. The approach BlindSquare takes to POI info makes so much sense because the information is always being updated by people like you and I visiting these places. Just my opinion but if you have been on the fence take a look at this app, give it the attention it deserves and I can't imagine you will regret it.

And since BlindSquare uses its own speech rather than VoiceOver, it'll continue talking even while your device is locked or while you're in another navigation app. Sorry if this is common knowledge, but just wanted to offer this brief review because I've been very very impressed with an app that I never thought I'd use--I don't use FourSquare! With BlindSquare, I feel confident that most of the data you'd expect to hear from a blindness specific GPS device will be there for me.

Re: Need list of newby podcasts for iPhone
iBlindTech is a different set of podcasts altogether. If you go to www.iblindtech.com you will find all podcasts. You can also use an app like downcast to look for those podcasts.

Re: Are you satisfied with your IPad Mini?
I think each device has put things that can be done with them. The iPhone is obviously a phone, and can be used whenever and wherever you are regardless of Wi-Fi. I have the iPad Mini Wi-Fi only in addition, and I use it every single day. I check my email, go to Safari, and use many of the apps. This helps to save the battery life on my iPhone. I had an iPod touch fourth-generation, and hope to eventually get an iPod five. With it I would listen to music as well as podcasts, and it would also help to save the battery life of my phone. And, unlike the iPad, it would fit in my pocket. But to answer your basic question once again, I absolutely love my iPad mini. -- Marcy weinberg Junior Partner Fedora Outlier, LLC Top down, BETTER THAN EXCELLENT ™ consulting, teaching and support http://www.fedoraoutlier.com 888-958-6979 ext.3801 ma...@fedoraoutlier.com On Jan 20, 2013, at 3:23 PM, Eric SS sseri...@gmail.com wrote: I would like opinions/experiences from those totally blind/Voiceover dependent IPad Mini users.

Re: aProblem with I books.
If I'm in I books, when I get to the page chooser, I use spacebar dots six or spacebar dots 3 to go back.

Re: Object recognition app
Thanks Tom, I was able to remember the name by going to AppleVis. I downloaded it onto my iPhone 4S and using moderate room light I was able to get it to successfully identify nearly all the objects I placed in front of it. For a first version I think it's pretty good, but like others have said a repeat function would be good. I will admit I have some sight so I can line things up pretty well, even if I can't read the print myself, but even items placed upside down are recognized. I will have to see how my friend who has less vision than I do and who says she can't use her Camara to do VizWiz or other apps like that does with this.

RE: Object recognition app
Hello Deb, Tap TapSee has a camera button. It works best for objects that are relatively close up. For example, it can recognize a coke can, an office style telephone set, even US currency, etc. It also appears as though the conversion might take place in the cloud, but not absolutely clear about that. The recognition may take up to 5 seconds. To gain confidence with it, I would shoot items that are close-up.

Re: toggling screen curtain, and adding music content to Ipad 3?
Hi, screen curtain is toggled on/off with a 3 finger triple tap. Things are added to the app switcher just by opening them. Open mail, it ends up in your app switcher. Open contacts, it ends up in your app switcher, etc. To close items in your app switcher, move voiceover focus to an app in the app switcher then double tap and hold your finger down on the 2nd tap. Hold down until you hear editing apps. Now, double tap on the apps you wish to remove from the app switcher. To manually put music on your IOS device, you can select the songs you want, copy with command C, move to the sources table, navigate to your device and paste. Another way to do this is to actually check off the artists, playlists, albums, etc that you want to be synced to your device. This is done by navigating to your device in the sources table, then VO right until you get to the music button and select that. Now, Navigate to the scroll area and interact and you will see these options.

Re: New and seeking iPhone Info
I think you may be referring to the tactile screen protectors from speeddots.com. They neither defeat the purpose of a touch screen nor are intended as just introductory teaching aids. I have one of their tactile screen protectors on my iPhone 4S. They are quite subtle and don't get in the way of operating the touch screen at all. I can also pick up another iPhone without a tactile screen protector and use it just fine. I find that it does help me at times orient myself to the screen, especially when I'm using my iPhone in a non-standard way, like with just one hand. For example, it lets me know if my swipes are horizontal or not.

Re: Home automation
As someone else said, how many apps are truly necessary. I don't have such an app, but I also don't have a talking thermostat either. If I were to upgrade to an accessible thermostat, I'd definitely consider going with a network capable thermostat along with an accessible app. From what I could tell, it wasn't any more expensive. I also don't think this is just for a blind person who travels a lot, and I wouldn't assume there aren't blind travellers out there, but also for someone who leaves their house for the day and goes into work. It would give me piece of mind knowing I could remotely check the lights, thermostats and the like in my house. Note that these systems aren't designed or made especially for the blind, so there's no reason to think a blind person wouldn't get just as much out of these accessible apps as our sighted counterparts, who obviously also want such capabilities.

Re: text file reader for the iPhone
Hi,. Two I would recommend iLike2Read and voice dream reader. Voice dream reader will read more document types and has a wide variety of voices, which sound great and can be sped up more than VoiceOver. However, currently with VoiceOver you cannot see the text if you wanted to check the spelling of a word, for example. The author is working on this though.. ILike2Read uses VoiceOver for it's output and does let you see the text. However, at least for me it has become buggy, since upgrading to iOS 6.
