Re: Using Siri with the iPad mini

2013-02-17 Thread Peter Holdstock
Hi Carole. I did find Siri on the Ipad mini wasn't as accurate as my 4s but 
it's getting better. The ipad mini only has one microphone where as the 4s 
as two so that's maybe why. I would be interested to know whether users have 
a voice profile for each idevice or each apple account. Siri learns how you 
speak and as far as I am aware that is done on the server so I'd assume you 
have a different profile for each device as your voice would sound slightly 
different.


Oh and are you the Carol which lives very near me in York, UK?

Subject: Using Siri with the iPad mini

Hi All,

i have been disappointed to find that Siri's response on my IPad Mini isn't 
as good or accurate as with my phone.
Have others found this to be the case, or do you suspect I am not lining up 
the microphone correctly with my mouth?
I also notice that Siri doesn't seem to know what I want when I want to 
dictate into a field of my email. Perhaps I am missing something here Or it 
is not possible to do this on the iPad.

I hope someone can help to improve my experience with Siri and the IPad.

Re: Fleksy is now free

2013-02-17 Thread Peter Holdstock
They will have made it free to get as many users as possible as that will 
significnatly increase their chances of getting it as a built in keyboard in 
IOS. They have maybe deliberately taken a risk to provide it free as if it 
did get implimented as a built in keyboard they would get some kind of large 
licencing fee from Apple. I paid the original price for the app and have no 
problem with it being free now. Everything we buy comes down in price 
eventually!

Hi, all.
I don't like Fleksy at all, so have no particular dog in this fight. I
didn't get it before and am not that interested in getting it now,
even though it is free, I don't use the on-screen keyboard and didn't
like the program, anyway, when I was working with it during the
testing period. Having said that, I am rather confused about what the
people here want the developers to do. Say you're a program developer,
and would, because you have found another source of funding for your
program, because you want to get your program on more devices, because
you want advertising revenue, because you want to give back to the
community, or whatever other reason you have, like to make your
program free of charge. Say that you couldn't do that from the very
beginning for whatever reason, or even say that you tried to make a
living profit on the program and found you couldn't, so decided to
take the goodwill of making the program free. What ought you to do?
Ought you to give a refund to all your purchasers? What if you've
already spent the money on such things as shelter and food? BTW, why
not do that whenever you have a sale? After all, there may be people
who bought just before the sale, so it would obviously be reasonable
to refund to everyone who purchased at the regular price. Ought you
not to make your program free, thus leaving other people to pay when
they need not and just collect whatever funds come in? Surely, that
would be depriving someone of a useful program if they couldn't pay
for it? What should the developers have done so as not to upset some
people, if I may ask?

ReAnother free heart rate app : Free App of the Day: runtastic Heart Rate Pro

At least I think it was free.  It just says open when I looked it up in the

Azumio.  Works the same way by putting finger over camera and beeps.  Voice 
over reads the heart rate as a regular number, like 88 or whatever.  I have 
not registered to save my scores but I think you register at their website 
and it can save them.

Hello List,

Here is an interesting little app which is free today. It measures
your heart rate without a heart rate monitor.

All you do is start the app, then put a finger lightly onto the camera

lens.

After a moment you hear your iPhone beep at your heart rate and after
6 or 8 seconds it vibrates and you can remove your finger. Don't ask
me how it works, but it does seem to work.

You can then save the reading, you can also create an account or sign
in with Facebook since of course nowadays all your friends need to
know all that you do including what your heart rate is. OK, so that
part is ridiculous, but this does really seem to work rather well
although I have not had time to really explore the app as to
accessibility. I did notice that this morning when I did this and
after I saved the app, Voiceover did read the date and time of the
reading and said my average heart rate was 58 bpm which I assume stands

for beats per minute.


It does display some sort of graph so maybe parts of the app may not
be accessible, but maybe the developer can also improve things a bit
if he gets some messages from blind users. I wouldn't necessarily
tell him I got his app for free on a promo, but that's really beside the

point.


Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day to all the ladies, maybe this app
arrived just in the nick of time and you can use it to check your
heart rate remains in save limits after that romantic dinner *smile*. OK,

here is the link:

Numbers has been available for iOS for a couple years now.
I don't find it very useful with VoiceOver, but for those with enough vision I 
gather it is quite useful.
If anyone is interested here is the link to the App Store:

Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard, Additional Impressions

2013-02-17 Thread Les Kriegler
As I continue to use this keyboard, my appreciation for its functionality and 
design increases.  I never thought I would find uses with our iMac, but I must 
say it is really nice to sit anywhere in our family room and review and compose 
e-mail.  The only thing I didn't care for with this keyboard is the on/off 
switch.  It's a slide switch and it is a little sharp and therefore hurt my 
finger when I used it.  So I thought I would put some tape over it.  And then 
another thought came along, the good old fingernail.  That's what I use now, 
and it solved my problem.  I love low tech solutions!

Re: great fitness app free for today

2013-02-17 Thread Sherrie
This app, Move Daily Activity to Stay Healthy, is well named.   I got it for 
free but would be willing to pay a small price for it if needed. I do like 
this app and the reminder to do something every 45 minutes.  I am not in 
great shape (understatement) so when it says to do something too hard or 
unknown I just do other exercises I know are good and click I did it.  You 
can also click refresh and get something else to do.  But the main thing is 
to do something.
And I think it is important to click the I did it button.  Yesterday I did 
something on my own when it said but did not click the button and then it 
accused me of skipping 8 times!!  So now I do something and click I did it.

Really nice app.
I do like your idea about saving verbal descriptions of the exercises. 
Maybe we could suggest other good ones to the developer as well.
The timers are nice, too.  Like when it says to do something for a minute 
you can push the button for the timer.

Hi,

Yeah, sorry about that. The first one I tried was a woman explaining 
everything very clearly, and that's when I posted my message. I didn't 
realize that all the videos are done by different people, and that some are 
a lot more visual than others. My sighted son is going to do some of them 
with me, so if he explains how to do one, I'll post it. If others who have 
sighted help can do the same, we can make a collection of explanations, and 
then send them to the developer so that maybe he can add them in a future 
update.


Best,

Hi,

I just found an app on AppsGoneFree called Move - Daily Activity to Stay 
Healthy. It reminds you at the interval you choose (every 45 minutes by 
default) to do an activity that takes a couple of minutes, such as walk 
to the bathroom the long way, or do 20 side leg lefts. For the 
exercises, there's a button you can use to get instructions, and for the 
exercise I tried, these were very clear. They're presented in a video, 
but judging by that clarity of the instructions, I don't think seeing the 
pictures will be necessary. The last update mentions improving VoiceOver 
accessibility, so the developer is aware of the need to do this, and 
everything talks great in the app. It's at

Is there a way to delete labeled elements?

2013-02-17 Thread Scott Hegle
I have not given up on the new Slacker 4.0 and have been labeling the
buttons. Unfortunately, now Slacker crashes when opened, and the only way to
use it again is to delete it and install it again. It works for a while and
then on next launch crashes immediately. I assume this is because of the
buttons being labeled. Is there any way to unlabel these buttons? The only
way I know is to go to each one, act like I'm labeling the button, and
delete the text and save. Thanks.

RE: Trekker GPS App

2013-02-17 Thread Ron Pelletier
Hi all,

The Trekker is still being made and still selling well.  The original $2000
Trekker had to go because the PDA disappeared from the market.  Along came
the self-contained Trekker Breeze which, in case you are not informed is
still being made and still selling.  In fact, it has been selling at a lower
price due to the pressures put on the market.  It still fills the needs of
many blind people and I am one of them.  Nobody can make me believe that any
app available right now for the IPhone equals the features of my Breeze.
When I get to where I am going, my IPhone battery still has a full charge to
face the day because I had another device to get me to where I was going.
When one device fails, the other is still working.  My Breeze is thicker
than a smart phone but it is about the same length and just about the same
width.  It gives me all the information I need without having to jump from
app to app.  Travelling with a dog or a cane doesn't leave too many hands to
do all that finger flicking while walking.  My Breeze around my neck and
listening to what it says is all I need to do  

Some people forget that all these companies who made special devices were
taking advantage of us.  Had it not been for these companies, most of us who
are blind or visually impaired would not had a job and led a productive
life.  The developing of these devices cost a lot for the size of the market
and that is the only reason why they were so very expensive.  A lot of
companies came and went over the years because there was no real money to be
made.  Three companies had to merge to form Freedom Scientific in order to
be able to continue to produce the devices that kept us working and enjoying
doing what we are doing right now and that is communicating with people
around the world.  At least 2 companies that I know of had to merge to form
Humanware and there probably are many others.  I can only think right now of
Visuaide who were the original makers of the Trekker and the Victor reader.


Had there been so much money to be made, these companies would still be out
there making their big money but that is not the case.  Technology has
evolved to the point that we now have devices like the IPhone and the IPad
which are sold in the multi millions and not in the hundreds and thousands.
Splitting the cost of accessibility into hundreds of millions of devices put
out is far less expensive than doing it for a limited market.

Let's not only look at what has been done by Apple in the past short while
and look at what we have been enjoying for decades.  Stevie Wonder paid over
$50,000 for his first reading machine which wasn't that great and, now we
are very close to getting some very powerful reading apps for under $20.

In my opinion, nobody was so called sticking it to the blind. Just people
working very hard to keep us going with our education and future careers.  I
wish some people would remember the wonderful side of things without biting
the hands that fed us.

I'm not so sure that companies from 20, 10 or even 5 years ago that were
making custom devices for the blind were charging the prices they were just
to stick it to the blind. The world was quite a bit different.
You didn't have off the shelf devices that had the computing power to run a
full blown OS, a built in screen reader, a software speech synthesizer, a
GPS and so on. Of course those devices cost more than an app for the iPhone
would cost today. I'm not saying that companies making products for the
blind, didn't over charge for their products, I'm sure some of them did,
just like companies may try to get more for their products in every free
market than some people think is fair.

I think it's great today that we have so many off the shelf options, and I
know I tend to favour an off the shelf option myself when it meets my needs.
I still wouldn't hesitate to buy a device or an app made with the blind in
mind though, if it meets my needs and helps me compete with my sighted
peers. I'm not a fan of the term blind ghetto though, and I think it does a
disservice to all of those products and people who gave the blind the
opportunity to be successful in various careers before we could piggy back
on top of devices like the iPhone.

I also think that companies making products for the blind can smell the
coffee. As mentioned below, the Trekker is no longer made, and how many
products like it do you see out there anymore? Access technology companies
aren't stupid, and they see what's happening with access technology and the
developments they can take advantage of, if they so choose to.

Hi Andy,

The POI's are not about to go yet.  I still have my original Trekker and the
new maps that came out last summer still work very well with it so the
device is just as useful now as it was and will continue to be so until our
PDA's die and for as long as the Breeze is still selling because they use
the same maps.

I purchased Trekker Maestro in 2007, and still have, and use it, even though
the IOS GPS solutions are little by little replacing the functions of the
TM, but the TM still does things better than those apps, and because of
that, I will continue to use it until the PDA dies. The only bad thing is
that as time goes on, the POI listings will become obsolete as businesses

Hi,

I was one of those who paid 2000 plus dollars for the original Trekker
Maestro device.  It changed my life in so many ways.

Never before had I experienced such navigational independence.

I have been lobbying HumanWare for a Trekker iOS app ever since it became
clear that Code Factory was not going to port it's Mobile Geo to iOS.

Maestro Trekker was back in 2005 and went belly up in 2007 when the Apple
iPhone changed the world.  I think companies wanting to remain in business
selling products and services to the Blind need to wake up and smell the
coffee.  The days of sticking it to the blind because they can are gone.
Blind people today understand that they vote with their dollars.  No way
could they charge 2 grand for a Trekker app.  They probably could get 20
dollars for it if it had all the features of the Trekker.

At this point in time, there aren't enough people asking Humanware for a
Trekker app.  They do listen though.  A good example is the survey that was
done about features people wanted on a book reader.  As a result of what
blind people wanted, the Victor Reader Stream is out with wireless
connectivity and lets you directly download NLS books, Bookshare.org content
and much more.  But it happened because enough people contacted them and
asked for it.  Humanware is awhere of the fact that there is some interest
by Trekker users in a Trekker app for iPhone but so far, not enough blind
people have made enough requests for even a survey to be put together for
usage and features.  That's why I gave the contact info.

Hi Alan,

I am not sure if Humanware would be the right company to talk to. Their
Trekker product utilizes Sendero's technology and as far as I know Sendero
is and has been working on a more complete GPS app geared towards the blind
for some time. I believe they are funded by Seeing Eye which of course is a
good thing because Seeing Eye has the money to back such a project.

I used to own a Trekker Maestro about 5 years ago and while I am sure there
are people who had good experiences with Humanware, their products and
customer service, I was never very impressed and I have a feeling if
Humanware was to come up with a GPS app they would try and charge through
the nose for it.
Remember Orator or whatever it was called? It was the screenreader they
developed for Blackberry and even though it only worked on a few devices
they were charging $450 which is more than half of the most expensive 64 Gig
iPhone without contract. I bet those very likely few people who did buy it
probably regretted the decision.
It's really too bad Blackberry didn't integrate accessibility into the
Blackberry 10 platform because the Z10 and Q10 really do sound like very
nice phones and the initial feedback I heard has been rather positive.

Anyhow, I don't want to stray into another discussion of accessibility of
other platforms and so on, but maybe somebody on the list has heard
something new about Sendero's GPS project for the iPhone and will share it.
It would really be nice if they came up with a really comprehensive GPS app
this year; if it had similar features to a Trekker or MobilGeo combined with
the stability of the iOS platform it would really be worth something.

Sieghard

Check spelling after inputing text

2013-02-17 Thread Ioana Gandrabur
Hi,

Do any of you know how or if there is a way to check spelling not as you type 
but rather after writing the whole text?
I understand that miss-spelled words are marked as red and I know that VO says 
miss-spelled when encountering a mistake while navigating text. What I would 
like, and don't know if it exists, is a way to jump from 1 error to an other 
say with a rotar setting. 

Thanks for your suggestions!

 Hello List,

 Here is an interesting little app which is free today. It measures 
 your heart rate without a heart rate monitor.

 All you do is start the app, then put a finger lightly onto the 
 camera
lens.
 After a moment you hear your iPhone beep at your heart rate and after
 6 or 8 seconds it vibrates and you can remove your finger. Don't ask 
 me how it works, but it does seem to work.

 You can then save the reading, you can also create an account or sign 
 in with Facebook since of course nowadays all your friends need to 
 know all that you do including what your heart rate is. OK, so that 
 part is ridiculous, but this does really seem to work rather well 
 although I have not had time to really explore the app as to 
 accessibility. I did notice that this morning when I did this and 
 after I saved the app, Voiceover did read the date and time of the 
 reading and said my average heart rate was 58 bpm which I assume 
 stands
for beats per minute.

 It does display some sort of graph so maybe parts of the app may not 
 be accessible, but maybe the developer can also improve things a bit 
 if he gets some messages from blind users. I wouldn't necessarily 
 tell him I got his app for free on a promo, but that's really beside 
 the
point.

 Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day to all the ladies, maybe this app 
 arrived just in the nick of time and you can use it to check your 
 heart rate remains in save limits after that romantic dinner *smile*. 
 OK,
here is the link:

today walking on a dual carrige way it was impossible to hear my 
iphone gps but with the braille on the apex all was well.  i knew 
where the small gap was that i had to find to the park but of 
course grace found it but again it was good to know it was coming 
up.  i wonder if anyone on the list uses the android gps with a 
braille display this of course would make it a lot better to use 
when walking but again which people say on the list the cost of a 
braille display is very expensive.  what about a voice activated 
gps but again in heavy traffic it would not work.  all the

Question on the multi edit app

2013-02-17 Thread Jed Barton
Hey guys,

I am working on setting up this multi edit app on the iphone.  I want to use
it to send messages to a group of people all at the same time.
It keeps telling me that I have to disable I messaging, but am not sure
where to do it, cause several of the people I've added to a group have
iphones.  Any ideas?
Anyone used this app before?

Cheers,
Jed

Simple Recording Program

2013-02-17 Thread Keith Bundy
Hello, list. I am looking for a program that will let me record the sermons I 
preached on Sundays and then put them on the Internet.

I know but many of you do a lot more recording than I do. What, in your 
opinions, would be the simplest and most accessible app to use for simply 
recording sermons and speeches?

Thanks for your valued opinions

Findings with StandScan after a couple of days.

2013-02-17 Thread Sandratomkins
Hallo to those who have expressed an interest in the StandScan box.

As i said initially, the actual box is very similar to the ScanBox that I 
have been playing with. The difference between the two lays with the lights. 
Both can use a 9 volt battery, however, the StandScan can also be plugged into 
the mains or use an extra strong 12 volt battery. I have found that to get 
reliably good results, it is necessary to use 12 volts. Optically speaking, the 
12 volts gives a really good and even light and i find it works regardless of 
ambient lighting. I have used the StandScan in bright sunlight, twilight and 
complete darkness and have achieved a uniform set of good results. It seems 
that the StandScan, with its potential for more powerful lights, is actually 
the answer to our OCR issues!

I ordered mine from New York, but the box actually came from Hong Kong. I 
bought the StandScan Pro, which includes the lights. I think I had to add, as a 
separate item, the mains cable. This cable has a transformer built into the 
plug and is round pinned. Although this probably only affects us in the UK and 
Ireland, I should say that my adapter to square pins doesn't really work with 
it, the round pins being too loose, so to use it I had to hold it in place. 
However, the good news is that I can use the transformer cable of my old and, 
now, disused, Pacmate Omni, as it reduces the charge to the desired 12 volts. I 
am sure that I saw, on the website of StandScan, the option to buy an extra 
battery holder and connector for a 12 volt battery, but it appears that I 
omited to order it. I shall take another look because, so long as the 12 volt 
battery gives the good light available from the mains, I will be happy to have 
it as my portable alternative. In short, Ha!, If you are in the UK, don't 
bother with the mains adapter if you already have a transformer cable which 
will give you 12 volts and which has the sort of connecter that fits with a 
PacMate. But, do consider the 12 volt battery case as this power is absolutely 
necessary to get the best out of this scanning solution.

   As to cost, you might do better to check with the StandScan website for 
precise info, but the basic cost was about 30 Euros, please don't quote me on 
that, plus I paid for the mains adapter, which I am sure would work in most 
countries, including the States, which was about 4.50 Euros and, finally, 
shipping was approx 10 Euros. I got a sort of reduction for advertising it on 
FaceBook. In the end I paid about 44 Euros. I am sorry, I am 'orribly 
mathematically challenged when it comes to cost etc, so do please check with 
the manufacturers. 

Finally, I do feel, after some trial and error, that I can recommend the 
StandScan when using 12 volts, for our OCR needs. It can be used out of the 
box, but would be even easier to use with some additional markers for the 
corners of the phone. The lights included with the ScanBox are simply not good 
enough in my opinion, so go for the StandScan.

As always, below is a perfect scan, at least it seemed so when I read 
through it just before. It is a double page scan from a book of cryptic 
crosswords, is on cheap paper, with bad print, in columns, plus it has number 
both in a column down the side and in odd places at the end of each clue, in 
other words, a true challenge to a pocket sized OCR package, such as Prizmo. I 
am thinking that if this set up can cope with this, it should do well with 
contents pages etc.

All the best, Sandy.

Hi Ron,

I believe that the heart rate is represented in a graph so I am not sure you
can read it with Voiceover, but maybe get a sighted person to look at this.

When I grabbed the app the day it was free I tried it and it beeped and then
I saved the reading and it seemed to indicate on the result that my average
heart rate was 60 at the time. It was in the morning and I had not done
anything much yet after getting up so that seemed correct. Anyhow, none of
the buttons which allow you to pick what kind of activity you are doing and
so on seems to be labeled and I think somebody needs to contact the
developer to see if they are willing to look at accessibility.

 Hello List,
 
 Here is an interesting little app which is free today. It measures 
 your heart rate without a heart rate monitor.
 
 All you do is start the app, then put a finger lightly onto the 
 camera
lens.
 After a moment you hear your iPhone beep at your heart rate and after
 6 or 8 seconds it vibrates and you can remove your finger. Don't ask 
 me how it works, but it does seem to work.
 
 You can then save the reading, you can also create an account or sign 
 in with Facebook since of course nowadays all your friends need to 
 know all that you do including what your heart rate is. OK, so that 
 part is ridiculous, but this does really seem to work rather well 
 although I have not had time to really explore the app as to 
 accessibility. I did notice that this morning when I did this and 
 after I saved the app, Voiceover did read the date and time of the 
 reading and said my average heart rate was 58 bpm which I assume 
 stands
for beats per minute.
 
 It does display some sort of graph so maybe parts of the app may not 
 be accessible, but maybe the developer can also improve things a bit 
 if he gets some messages from blind users. I wouldn't necessarily 
 tell him I got his app for free on a promo, but that's really beside 
 the
point.
 
 Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day to all the ladies, maybe this app 
 arrived just in the nick of time and you can use it to check your 
 heart rate remains in save limits after that romantic dinner *smile*. 
 OK,

Re: Fleksey issue.

2013-02-17 Thread Sandratomkins
Hi,

This is an issue for me too! Worse, I often find that when in Acurate 
mode, I often end up deleting previous text. I also find I tend to get 
extraneous Ms alongside my new lines. For typing accurately, I wouldn't mind 
the option to have the system default to the usual method of input, perhaps 
with a gesture to toggle this, like, a setting in the rotor or a 3 finger 
single tap. i often find that it takes several attempts to choose a letter and 
sometimes they go in and sometimes not. 

i do like Fleksy, but find I use it less than I had originally thought 
because of these draw-backs.

 This is by design, so while typing normally, you will not hear the

 Obviously this is much slower, but,  remember when you manually type
 in a word,after you swipe right, do a swipe up to enter the word into
 the dictionary, then the next time you will not have to manually type
 the word.
 
 Every time I need to manually enter a word I swipe up to enter it into
 the dictionary... no matter if it is a proper name, abbreviation or

 everything, and eventually, you'll never have to manually enter
 another word.

Subject: Free App of the Day: runtastic Heart Rate Pro



Hello List,

Here is an interesting little app which is free today. It measures your
heart rate without a heart rate monitor.

All you do is start the app, then put a finger lightly onto the camera 
lens.
After a moment you hear your iPhone beep at your heart rate and after 6 
or 8

seconds it vibrates and you can remove your finger. Don't ask me how it
works, but it does seem to work.

You can then save the reading, you can also create an account or sign in
with Facebook since of course nowadays all your friends need to know all
that you do including what your heart rate is. OK, so that part is
ridiculous, but this does really seem to work rather well although I 
have

not had time to really explore the app as to accessibility. I did notice
that this morning when I did this and after I saved the app, Voiceover 
did
read the date and time of the reading and said my average heart rate was 
58

bpm which I assume stands for beats per minute.

It does display some sort of graph so maybe parts of the app may not be
accessible, but maybe the developer can also improve things a bit if he 
gets
some messages from blind users. I wouldn't necessarily tell him I got 
his

app for free on a promo, but that's really beside the point.

Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day to all the ladies, maybe this app arrived 
just
in the nick of time and you can use it to check your heart rate remains 
in

save limits after that romantic dinner *smile*. OK, here is the link:

Subject: Re: Item Chooser, most underrated feature

Once you do the two finger triple tap and narrow your search, double tap
what you want in the results list. This will then bring VoiceOver focus
right to where you want it. Say for example, you are looking for the word
Seattle in an article, you would bring up the item chooser, begin typing
Seattle in the search field, and the below list will continually narrow down
to the possibilities of Seattle. Double tap on one, and there you go,
magically just where you want to be in the article.

Hope that is helpful. Definitely have a play around with it. With more
practice, you'll probably get use to it's features.

 I'd suggest giving it a try and just playing around with it a bit.
 Like I said, I didn't think to use it right away, even though I've
 seen it discussed on this list, but now that I've brought it up and
 played with it, it saves me a lot of time, especially in the TiVo app.

 I'm loving it!  In Safari, in some apps, in the music browser.  I'm
just finding it so useful.

 I like to go to a radio's website to look at there playlist.  Well,
it is this ginormous table for the entire days tracks.  The item chooser is
extremely helpful in this instance.  I can just search for the hour I'm
interested in, then quickly hop to that time.

 When I'm reading articles inside my rss app and I want to find the
beginning of the article, I use the item chooser to quickly get there.

 :) Anyway, I just thought I'd mention this little yet cool part of
the accessibility in the iDevice.

Hi guys. My name is Dave Moreau, I am the developer of the the Georeader 
app. Thank you for the nice comments. This Georeader app is available for 
iphone. The app works all over the world but has lots of interesting things 
in the USA. The app includes Georgia, Pennsylvania,  Texas, 
Ohios, Michigan  Oregon, Maryland  and Virginia's entire collections and 
partial collection everywhere else (people are always welcome to add any 
that are missed or contribute their own points so others can hear them. Any 
topic is fair game, what ever you find interesting that you would like to 
share is all good. (You can add points on site with the Android app and 
through the website www.mygeoreader.com  http://www.mygeoreader.com/ . ) 
 The FAQ section on the website has a lot of good advice but the best ones 
are get a car charger for  long trips, if you have Android, get an improved 
text to speech program (I use SVOX) as the PICO one Google gives you is 
just ok,  get the smartphone's sound output go through your RV/Car's sound 
system (my car is so old I use a cassette adapter :)  and finally  read the 
in app tutorials. I love traveling the side roads and learning about the 
history of the area but wanted something safe for a driver to use (no need 
to interact with the app, just run it and it will talk automatically. Love 
to hear feedback, questions, suggestion etc, email me  at 
questi...@mygeoreader.com . To see a demo of it, watch the video of the app 
in action on the website www.mygeoreader.com  I have an android with an 
improved text to speech app running in the video. The iphone has a good 
text to speech voice in it already so there is no need to improve that 
feature with it. Please enjoy. Dave

 intriguing.

 Good question. With all the apps available, easy to get overloaded with 
 them.

 I'm wondering if anyone uses this FREE app for androids, and is it worth 
 the space/data it uses? Description:  This innovative app allows you to 
 hear roadside historic markers or other interesting facts as you drive by. 
 It reads aloud historical markers, and it also contains information about 
 historical bridges, towns, and even UFO sightings. Contents include the 
 entire roadside marker collection for many states, all available to listen 
 to hands-free when in their vicinity. In addition, you can create your own 
 talking points and share your knowledge about local landmarks and events 
 with the world. Georeader will add a whole new layer of depth--and fun--to 
 your road trips. Anyone have it???

Re: iMove

2013-02-17 Thread RobH!
Yes, quite well;  just don't do a lot. If they tied the two bits together, 
it would be worth buying,... for money.

I switched off all the listing and set it for one item, placesof worship; 
didn't know there were so many round here! I went for a walk along the 
canal, it even knew which one since it couldn't focus on a road;  and 
changed the list of places as I progressed.  So yes,  good in those 
respects.
But not giving an address or direction, did nothing to help get to them.

Re: iMove, another gps app for the vi!

2013-02-17 Thread RobH!
I didn't, I just got the distance in feet, not just a proportional bit of a 
mile,  no, it was metres, cos it used the term MT, which means 
MegaTon, and this is what VO said when it read it.  This, no the lack of 
address or direction is why I down-rated it.

Subject: iMove, another gps app for the vi!

For those who didn't see the announcement,  the subject sums it up well
enough.

I took it for a walk, it did more or less what it said, which wasn't any
more than we have with Siri or existing other apps.  I know, I said that.
But to be fair, the Around me part worked pretty well, it found more results
than I was used to, once out and about.  But that's it, told me it was
there, didn't see an address, just a distance.  The app developer could do
with developing it some more.  Since that part of the app has map reference
coordinates,  it could then give a direction as well as a distance so you
had an idea of how to get to it.  AroundMe app gives address as a matter of
course and links to further details when you click it;  clicking a target in
iMove  only seems to re-iterate the original distance.

a small detail, but it uses MT for metres,  not good as siri or the VO voice
converts that to MegaTons.  so I got within 200MegaTons of a local church.
Not bad hah?!

I only heard the most basic 8 point of the compass,  I don't think this is
really accurate enough to do a lot of navigation by,  at the least a clock
face works more intuatively when using a phone this way.  But that's just
me. Ariadne does that and it is good.

These two features in the same app would be well worth a second look. Ok, I
like the ability to put voice prompts in places,  though as far as I can
tell,  the app only tells you if you get close or pass one,  not where it is
or how to get to it.

Hi Ron,

I believe that the heart rate is represented in a graph so I am not sure you
can read it with Voiceover, but maybe get a sighted person to look at this.

When I grabbed the app the day it was free I tried it and it beeped and then
I saved the reading and it seemed to indicate on the result that my average
heart rate was 60 at the time. It was in the morning and I had not done
anything much yet after getting up so that seemed correct. Anyhow, none of
the buttons which allow you to pick what kind of activity you are doing and
so on seems to be labeled and I think somebody needs to contact the
developer to see if they are willing to look at accessibility.

 All you do is start the app, then put a finger lightly onto the

 After a moment you hear your iPhone beep at your heart rate and after
 6 or 8 seconds it vibrates and you can remove your finger. Don't ask 
 me how it works, but it does seem to work.
 
 You can then save the reading, you can also create an account or sign 
 in with Facebook since of course nowadays all your friends need to 
 know all that you do including what your heart rate is. OK, so that 
 part is ridiculous, but this does really seem to work rather well 
 although I have not had time to really explore the app as to 
 accessibility. I did notice that this morning when I did this and 
 after I saved the app, Voiceover did read the date and time of the 
 reading and said my average heart rate was 58 bpm which I assume 
 stands
for beats per minute.
 
 It does display some sort of graph so maybe parts of the app may not 
 be accessible, but maybe the developer can also improve things a bit 
 if he gets some messages from blind users. I wouldn't necessarily 
 tell him I got his app for free on a promo, but that's really beside 
 the
point.
 
 Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day to all the ladies, maybe this app 
 arrived just in the nick of time and you can use it to check your 
 heart rate remains in save limits after that romantic dinner *smile*.

link that word how to buy?

2013-02-17 Thread Regina Alvarado
how do I get the full app for link that word? I played a couple Of games on the 
lite version, and now want the full version. Every time I go into the app 
store, it goes directly to the lite. Do I have to finish the puzzles on lite 
first and then do in app purchase? Tried deleting lite, but game again came up 
lite. Want the ads to go away.. Makes screen very busy, and assuming full 
versions will get rid of the ads.Thank you for the help.

Hi, all,
 
Does anyone know if there is an iPhone word game based on the old TV game
show called Chain Reaction?  It was a word game where the contestants had to
think of word relations.  For example, a chain might start with the word
cat.  A relation might be the word fur.  The next relation might be the
word coat and so on up to seven word relations.
 
Thanks

Hello Everybody,

Hope you are having fun wherever you are.  I have a question.  How do
I connect my Focus 40 braille display with my IPod 5th gen?  My
braille display has a USB cord and I am not sure if it has a blootooth
thing.  I checked in the freedom scientific website but no luck.  Do I
need to get a separate blootooth thing or whatever it is called? Sorry
for not explaining enough but appreciate any help provided. Thanks and
have a nice day!!!

Re: Numbers

2013-02-17 Thread Nimit Kaur
Hey David and all,

The braille displays hooked on the computers also support nemeth code.
 I am sure most you braille readers know what this is, hopefully.  So
yeah, the focus braille display that I have hooked to my laptop with a
USB cord supports nemeth code.  For example, if you write the number
1, you can just put dot 2 and it will insert number sign itself.  If
you put the number sign in front of the nemeth code number, the
braille display gets confused in the B L E contraction in grade 2
braille.  Like if you want to write the number 8, if you put the
number sign dots, 3 4 5 6 and then 2 3 6 the computer screen will
spell it as, B L E Question Mar?  That's what happens with mine
though.  Just wanted to share some info with you all.  Thanks and have
a nice day, everybody.

 David,
 My experience with Braille Touch is that there needs to be a number sign
 before the numbers. I don't knoW if the question meant generally, in which
 case you are correct of course, but with BT, numbers need the number sign.
 At least this is what I have found. Admit I missed the question originally,
 but thought BT was what was being talked on the list. Pardon if I am
 sticking my nose where it is not wanted!

Re: Fleksey issue.

Hi Anna.
Sometimes that works for me, sometimes it doesn't. Thanks for the response and 
suggestion. I do hold my finger longer on the keyboard, and sometimes VO reads 
the letter but most of the time it's silent. Then when I swipe right for the 
word to be completed, Fleksey seems to always correct it. 
Not sure what's going on.

 Hi Jennifer,
 
 Hold your finger down on the keyboard longer than you would for normal

 speaks letters normally. The main difference is needing to hold your finger 
 on the keyboard a bit longer before you hear a letter spoken.

iTunes 11 Store and Screen Reader Compatibility

2013-02-17 Thread Alan Lemly
I use an older version of ZoomText (9.19) and I know it has compatibility
issues with iTunes but I notice when accessing the iTunes Store on my PC,
that much of the content presented seems to be images. At least I cant' find
much text to copy to something else that can read it when ZoomText won't.

 

I'm curious how other screen readers work in the iTunes Store when accessing
it via your computers. Do others experience problems here and have you come
up with any workarounds. the latest release of ZoomText which is version 10
is supposed to be compatible with iTunes. However, the Tech Support rep I
spoke with yesterday admitted that he wasn't sure it worked with the iTunes
Store since he thought the Store used a lot of images to present text. Is
anyone out there using ZoomText 10 and if so, how does it work with the
iTunes Store?

 

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Configuring iPhone 5 as External Device when Computer Connected

2013-02-17 Thread Alan Lemly
I know I'm thinking back a few years ago when I had more sight and was using
an iPod, but I seem to recall being able to set it so Windows recognized it
as an external USB device for transferring files to it, etc. Is it possible
to do this with the newer iPhones? I scoured the various settings in iTunes
11 and couldn't come up with it. Can someone provide information on whether
this is possible and how to do it?

 

Or maybe there is no longer a reason for doing this and I'll listen to
arguments on that score too.

 

Thanks in advance.

Finally, I was able to diagnose the problem with my Jabra Extreme 2 and my iPhone 5.  My original problem was when I connect the 
Jabra Extreme 2 to my iPhone, when I call any phone number, I listen to myself through the Jabra's microphone. In this case, I am 
listening to the environment around me, including my own voice.  I couldn't listen to the other party on the phone, although he can 
listen to my voice properly.  Jabra's Microphone works instead of the phone device which is supposed to be connected to the 
bluetooth.


The source of this problem is VoiceOver.  When I completely remove VoiceOver from the iPhone memory, this problem with Jabra Extreme 
2  no longer exists.  In other words, If I turn VoiceOver off using the 3-time button prress, and then call any number, I can listen 
to the phone call properly.  The same situation was replicated with one of my friends, who has another Bluetooth headset called: 
PLT_A170.


So,  How can I reach Apple technical support to fix this problem with our 
iPhone 5 units and Jabra extreme 2?

Your help is highly appreciated.

Thank you.



Best Regards

You can't remove the iPhone battery.

There is a simple process on my motorola HX550 for returning the headset to factory settings and then it goes back to pairing mode. 
Also you can go into bluetooth on the iPhone and tell it to forget your bluetooth device. But this hasn't solved my problem. I did 
learn that people can hear me if this happens so if I remain calm I can close the boom on my headset and reopen it and this stops 
the strange behavior though it isn't optimal. Somehow i think it has something to do with airplay which I see selected in my app 
switcher but I could be wrong about this.

Hello,

In response to the message sent previously concerning the problem of one of our colleagues with his inability to listen to voice 
calls from his bluetooth speaker via iPhone 5, which has been re-inforced by a message I have also previously sent concerning the 
same problem with my recently purchased Jabra Extreme 2 speaker, which, because of moderation hasn't reached the list up till now, 
This is the solution I received from Jabra:


We suggest that you try the following procedure in order to solve this issue. 
Please follow these instructions STEP by STEP:

1)Delete the current pairing in your mobile phone if you have one.
2)Turn the Bluetooth OFF on your phone.
3)Reset the phone by switching it off and then remove battery.
4)Reset and test the headset by 'pressing and holding' all three buttons at the same time. Untill the light will light up in a 
white light.
5)In this mode, the pairing list is reset, and you can test if the headset works as you will be able to hear audio in the 
speaker from the microphone.

6)The headset will automatically turn off after approx.10 seconds.
7)The next time you power on, the headset will go into pairing mode as the 
first time you powered your new JABRA EXTREME on.
8)Re-insert battery in your phone and turn it back on.
9)Turn the Bluetooth back on. Please set your phone to 'Discover' or something similar in the Bluetooth section of your menu. 
The 2 devices should now 'find' each other. Please enter  as the passkey. Your JABRA EXTREME should now be working.


I haven't yet tried these steps because till now I don't know how to remove my iPhone 5 battery.  I'd highly appreciate it if any 
of my colleagues on the list could help me with instructions on that matter.


Thank you.

Hi 

Anna is quite right if you are working in hard braille or contracted Braille
on a computer.  If you are using a soft Braille display in uncontracted
Braille you omit the number sign and write the numbers in the lower part of
the cell - thus 1 is dot two, 2 is dots two and three and 4 would be dots
two five and six, etc.

Re: Fleksy is now free

2013-02-17 Thread Nimit Kaur
Hello!

Flexi is ok for me.  I don't really like the fact that we have to
guess where each letter is and then insert it.  I don't like it to
have no feedback for the letters.  Although, I feel that it was very
nice of the company to offer it for free for the people who do like it
excluding me.  I would like it if Flexie was nice enough to give me
more letter feedback because I can't see the screen at all and I don't
feel like the need to know where each letter is sitting.  Thanks!
Have a nice day!

Subject: how to use the item chooser, complete instructions

Hi,  Here are complete instructions for the item chooser.
The item chooser lists and filters all items on the screen and is most
useful on web pages or apps with large lists of content.
To open the item chooser, do a double finger tripple tap, or press space
plus I on a braille display, or control option I on a bluetooth keyboard.
The contents of the screen will display as a list with a search box on 
top.

This search box should auto focus and allow you to start typing a string,
but sometimes you have to double tap it to start typing depending on the
peripherals you have connected.

Slowly begin typing in the edit box.  As you type each letter, focus will
return to the edit box.  This is why it's a good idea to take it slow.
As you type a string, all items that don't contain that string will
disappear.  For example, if you are looking for jonny appleseed, typing 
jon,

app, or see will find jonny appleseed.
As you type, voiceover should report the number of items left in the
chooser.
When the number is something you can live with, flick right from the 
search
box.  This is one reason why focus is set there after each letter you 
type.
Another is I suppose that the screen keeps refreshing and changing and 
the

search box is a good point of reference.
When you find the item you want, listen for an extra beat and voiceover 
will

tell you where on the screen the item is located so that you can try and
find it without the item chooser next time.  This is particularly useful 
on

the IPad which has so much real-estate that sometimes you use the item
chooser just to keep from having to grope around the screen all day.
Double tap the item and voiceover will set focus there.
you can then take whatever action is required such as double tapping if 
the
item is a link or a button, or read from current position if you are in 
the

middle of an article.

hope this helps and isn't too verbose.  i'm sort'a enjoying my friday 
night.

It means the company has found some other sources of funding, and is the

It is, in no way whatsoever, exclusive to the blind.

For example, a good friend of mine purchased a very nice Bluetooth portable

a couple days before New Years and found the very same speaker system on

I think a list dedicated to jail breaking is a good idea, but I don't
recall any heated discussions on this list about jail breaking or anyone
making sweeping accusations or statements about the legality of jail
breaking. There was a brief discussion when the ruling came out making
the unauthorized unlocking of an iPhone illegal, but like I said, I
don't recall any such discussion around jail breaking.

 Hello all;

 I know I don’t post much, but I hope what I have to say is taken to heart.

 After seing what I considered a rather heated discussion of jailbreaking
 and a couple of members making sweeping judgmental accusations about the
 legality of same subject, I’ve created a list especially for
 jailbreaking, discussing it, doing it, getting help if you bust it,
 jailbreak app recommendations, etc.

 This will I hope allow for discussion of this rather nifty subject, and
 prevent the moderation team on this list from feeling like there
 allowing illegal activity.

 You may subscribe by sending a blank e-mail to

Correction: Plantronics Backbeat 903/RUS

2013-02-17 Thread Eric
The other day I wrote comparing the Motorola S – 11 and Plantronics backbeat 
headphones. I ended by recommending the. 903/RUS model. Actually, the Backbeat 
903/Plus are the newer and in my opinion the better model. This is considering 
the delay in Bluetooth, the design, and sound. Also, the Plus model has speech 
to tell you when you are connected and battery level, etc. you can also see the 
percentage of battery remaining on the iPhone status line.

Re: How do I connect my braille display with my I Pod 5th gen?

2013-02-17 Thread erik burggraaf
Hi, only the focus 40 blue and the new focus blue are supported.  If you have a 
focus 44, that's not supported.

If you've never seen one to compare, the easiest way to tell is to look at the 
back of the display.

if the back/reer face of the display is featureless and flat, then you have a 
focus blue.

if the back face of the display has a metal track to support the keyboard stand 
accessory, then you have a focus 44 which is not supported on the IOS devices.

of course, there are other clues that would tell you as well, for example, if 
you have a praille keyboard on the top face of the unit at the very front which 
sits under a protective lid, then you have a focus 44 which is unsupported.  if 
you have a keyboard on the top face at the back behind the braille cells then 
you have a focus blue and you are good to go.

Hope this helps,

Hi, you could give the list archives a search and find the information 
when you don't have a message. However to answer your question, the 
gesture is a 3-finger triple tap. This will toggle the screen curtain on 
or off.


Hope that helps.

Re: Correction: Plantronics Backbeat 903/RUS

2013-02-17 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi, the Motorola S series also tells you when things are connected and 
the battery status. Also, the battery percentage is displayed on the 
iPhone status bar.


Hope that helps.

903/Plus are the newer and in my opinion the better model. This is considering 
the delay in Bluetooth, the design, and sound. Also, the Plus model has speech 
to tell you when you are connected and battery level, etc. you can also see the

Re: link that word how to buy?

2013-02-17 Thread Regina Alvarado
I am truly not very good with this app yet, but when you first touch play, a 
word shows up on the left upper screen. There is a text box below and toward 
the middle of the screen with the first letter of the association. You then put 
in the word you think it is starting with the next letter from the one that is 
already there. Move your finger to the right from the text box and you will see 
ok. Double tap. If right, you will then see that word at the top as the next 
word and the text box will have a new letter to work from. If wrong, you will 
feel a vibration and you can check the text box for the first two letters. You 
can be wrong three times before the puzzle just goes on and another word is 
given. Still playing with it so not sure about the whole game, but I found I 
just love word ladder so taking someone else's suggestion.

Re: Question on the multi edit app

2013-02-17 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi, go to settings and then messages. From there you can turn off 
iMessage. It makes zero difference if some of the people you want to 
group message have iPhones. The reason you have to turn off iMessage is 
because the group message uses sms, and iMessage uses the net.


Hope that helps.

RE: Simple Recording Program

2013-02-17 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Keith,

This is like asking about Bluetooth headsets or notes apps, you ask 10
people and get 11 answers *smile*

You could just use the Voice Memo app that comes on the iPhone.

If you want something that possibly makes it easier to get the recordings
off the phone without the need for iTunes, then I would suggest Dropvox
(note that is Dropvox with a v for victor and not a b for bravo). The
developer is Irradiated Software who also have Text Expander and Elements (a
notes editor). The developer states specifically in the app store
descriptionthat the app is Voiceover accessible.

The first time you go into the app you can open the settings and set it so
that the app starts recording automatically when you open it and once you
are done recording the app will upload the file to a Dropvox folder on
Dropbox (of course you have to have a Dropbox account).
If I remember correctly you can also specify a folder, i.e. you could make a
folder in your Dropbox called Recorded Sermons or Sermons and Speeches
and specify to upload to that folder in the app settings.
Recordings are uploaded in M4A format. If you need MP3 it would be very easy
to just open the recording in iTunes, make sure you set MP3 as the encoder
in iTunes under Preferences, General Tab, Import Settings. Now you can right
click on your recording and select Make MP3 version from the context menu.
After the MP3 file has been created you can add/edit ID3 tags by right
clicking on it and select Get Info or use Control+I, then go to the Info
tab and you could put in information such as title, artist (in this case
you), year (the exact date if you like) and even a bunch of notes in the
comment field about the topic of your sermon/speech.
You could, of course, use any other audio conversion program as well to
convert to MP3 if you have one you prefer to use.

Below are the links for Dropvox for the Canadian and US as well as 3
european app stores and the English app store description:
Note that you can typically substitute the 2 letters after the .com/ with
your country code, e.g. ca=Canada, us=United States, gb=Great Britain,
se=Sweden etc. to find an app in your app store.

Canada App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/dropvox-record-voice-memos/id416288287?mt=8
US App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dropvox-record-voice-memos/id416288287?mt=8
UK App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/dropvox-record-voice-memos/id416288287?mt=8
German App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/dropvox-record-voice-memos/id416288287?mt=8
French App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/dropvox-record-voice-memos/id416288287?mt=8

Description 

Dropbox + Voice Memos = DropVox. It's that simple.
DropVox records audio and sends it directly to your Dropbox account in
quality M4A format.
Use DropVox to capture your spoken ideas, reminders, and more. Later, you
can listen to your recordings on your Desktop, on the web, or on your iOS
device using Dropbox's own app.

Features:
. Quickly record audio and send it directly to your Dropbox account, saving
you time and effort.
. Compressed M4A audio files sound great while saving you storage space and
bandwidth.
. Background uploading so you can continue working with other applications*.
. Full Accessibility with VoiceOver.
. Option: Start recording immediately when DropVox launches. This makes
voice recording a single click operation!
. Option: Continue recording while DropVox is in the background or your
device is locked*.

Coming in 2.0:
. Recording quality setting.
. Only upload over wifi.
. Better UI with progress indicators.

Note about the recording workflow:
The recording process has been streamlined and eliminates the need to name
your recordings or chose where to send them. Record, Stop, and DropVox
handles the rest. Uploaded recordings are conveniently named after the
current date and time ensuring they will show up in chronological order
within your Dropbox folder.

Note about uploading:
If an internet connection is not available at the time of recording DropVox
will store the files and upload them when internet is restored.

DISCLAIMER: DropVox makes every attempt to ensure your recordings are safely
delivered to Dropbox, but given the number of things outside our control, it
is possible for recordings to get lost. We recommend using DropVox for
short, non-essential recordings. Under the right conditions DropVox can
record for many hours.

Requirements:
DropVox requires a Dropbox account to work. Incase you haven't caught the
wave yet, Dropbox is an amazing file syncing and sharing application that
runs on almost every computer platform as well as the web. Sign up for 2GB
of FREE Dropbox storage at http://www.dropbox.com/register

DropVox supports iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch 2nd gen or later (with a
microphone attached).

* Background recording and uploading only supported on multitasking devices.

Sieghard

 Subject: new accessible news reading app - Earl
 
 Greetings friends.
 
 Read Again Earl
 We�ve just released our new accessible news reading app called �Earl.�
 It�s our first, and I�d really like to hear what you all think about
 it. We�ve put a lot of time and effort into getting it right and I
 think Earl is pretty special.
 
 Here are some details�
 
 We�ve designed Earl for every person who wants to read the paper every
 day, and do it without having to spend a lot of time learning and
 using a complicated set of gestures and commands.
 
 Just double-tap your screen, listen for the double tone, speak a few
 straightforward commands and Earl� will read articles you select from
 nearly 300 newspapers from around the world, without your ever having
 to see the screen. From national news sources to your local paper,
 Earl� makes the latest news accessible to you, anytime, anywhere. All
 you need is an iPhone�, iPad� or iPod Touch�, an internet connection
 and a desire to keep up on what's happening in your community and
 around the world. The Earl app is uncomplicated, accessible with or
 without VoiceOver and just plain fun to use.
 
 The Earl app gives you full control over all of Earl�s powerful
 features. You�ll be able to try out all of Earl's features including
 our tap and speak controls, voice and speed settings, ability to
 customize your favorites newspaper list, and bookmarking articles.
 Without a subscription, you�ll have access to read up to three
 articles a day from all of the content available from our growing
 library of nearly 300 U.S. and international newspapers.
 
 By double tapping any Earl screen, waiting for the double tone, and
 saying �SUBSCRIBE�, the app will take you to the Apple App Store where
 you can subscribe to the Earl Subscription service. Once you
 subscribe, you�ll have unlimited access to read as much as you want
 from all of our extensive and growing content from around the world.
 
 Go to our Read Again Earl website to find more info about our app and
 subscription service. You�ll find an extensive FAQ that answers many
 of the questions we anticipate from users and we�ve included a set of
 tutorial podcasts you can find in the �learning� tab as well as an
 intro and demo video.

If you are not in the United States or are in a state that does not support

Also, if you prefer voice commands to touch screen commands and have money to 
afford the monthly subscriptions.

I find Itunes 11 including the store fully accessible with JAWS 14. One of the

Subject: iTunes 11 Store and Screen Reader Compatibility

I use an older version of ZoomText (9.19) and I know it has compatibility 
issues with iTunes but I notice when accessing the iTunes Store on my PC, that 
much of the content presented seems to be images. At least I cant' find much 
text to copy to something else that can read it when ZoomText won't.



I'm curious how other screen readers work in the iTunes Store when accessing it 
via your computers. Do others experience problems here and have you come up 
with any workarounds. the latest release of ZoomText which is version 10 is 
supposed to be compatible with iTunes. However, the Tech Support rep I spoke 
with yesterday admitted that he wasn't sure it worked with the iTunes Store 
since he thought the Store used a lot of images to present text. Is anyone out 
there using ZoomText 10 and if so, how does it work with the iTunes Store?



Thanks in advance for any comments.

Re: Correction: Plantronics Backbeat 903/RUS

Hi Raul. I do have the S-11. I am pretty sure I am going to return it, though, 
for the reasons I stated in my comparison earlier.

However, can you tell me what the little beaded like band is? It is about 5 
inches long and came in a sealed plastic bag. I have not had anybody eyeball 
the instructions for me, hence the question here.

All thanks!

RE: Configuring iPhone 5 as External Device when Computer Connected

2013-02-17 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Alan,

 

I can't speak for anything that goes back a while, I had my first iPod Touch
in 2009, then my iPhone 4 in 2010 and 4S in 2011. The short of it is that
unless you jailbreak you cannot transfer anything to your iPhone simply by
connecting it to a PC and have it recognized as a mass storage device. One
exception is photos, you can copy them off your iPhone or delete them on
your iPhone that way. If you have pictures on your phone, it will show up in
Windows (under Computer) and you can access your pictures. However, music,
ringtones, text files/notes etc. have to be copied using iTunes or you can
get stuff onto your device with apps like Dropbox, Skydrive, Phone Drive and
about 3,000 other apps which all claim that they allow you to use your
iPhone like a USB drive. Of course I am exaggerating, but there are a lot of
apps like that, Tonido, File App Pro etc. The thing is, though, that it
still really isn't like a USB drive because you can only view these files
from said app and most of these apps then have built-in document
readers/editors, music players, PDF viewers etc.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

I know I'm thinking back a few years ago when I had more sight and was using
an iPod, but I seem to recall being able to set it so Windows recognized it
as an external USB device for transferring files to it, etc. Is it possible
to do this with the newer iPhones? I scoured the various settings in iTunes
11 and couldn't come up with it. Can someone provide information on whether
this is possible and how to do it?

 

Or maybe there is no longer a reason for doing this and I'll listen to
arguments on that score too.

 

Thanks in advance.

RE: Strange problem with bluetooth headset

2013-02-17 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi,

I believe this may be a problem with your headset. I think I read somewhere
that some headsets have a feature where they basically use the microphone to
play back what they pick up in your surroundings so you can hear what is
going on around you while you wear the headset. I don't know if this is your
problem but it might be and you may want to check your headphone's user
manual to see if there is such a setting and then disable it to see if that
fixes your problem.

Subject: Re: Strange problem with bluetooth headset

Hi all,

Finally, I was able to diagnose the problem with my Jabra Extreme 2 and my
iPhone 5.  My original problem was when I connect the Jabra Extreme 2 to my
iPhone, when I call any phone number, I listen to myself through the Jabra's
microphone. In this case, I am listening to the environment around me,
including my own voice.  I couldn't listen to the other party on the phone,
although he can listen to my voice properly.  Jabra's Microphone works
instead of the phone device which is supposed to be connected to the
bluetooth.

The source of this problem is VoiceOver.  When I completely remove VoiceOver
from the iPhone memory, this problem with Jabra Extreme
2  no longer exists.  In other words, If I turn VoiceOver off using the
3-time button prress, and then call any number, I can listen to the phone
call properly.  The same situation was replicated with one of my friends,
who has another Bluetooth headset called: 
PLT_A170.

So,  How can I reach Apple technical support to fix this problem with our
iPhone 5 units and Jabra extreme 2?

Your help is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

You can't remove the iPhone battery.

There is a simple process on my motorola HX550 for returning the headset to
factory settings and then it goes back to pairing mode. 
Also you can go into bluetooth on the iPhone and tell it to forget your
bluetooth device. But this hasn't solved my problem. I did learn that people
can hear me if this happens so if I remain calm I can close the boom on my
headset and reopen it and this stops the strange behavior though it isn't
optimal. Somehow i think it has something to do with airplay which I see
selected in my app switcher but I could be wrong about this.

 Hello,

 one of our colleagues with his inability to listen to voice calls from 
 his bluetooth speaker via iPhone 5, which has been re-inforced by a 
 message I have also previously sent concerning the same problem with my
recently purchased Jabra Extreme 2 speaker, which, because of moderation
hasn't reached the list up till now, This is the solution I received from
Jabra:

 We suggest that you try the following procedure in order to solve this
issue. Please follow these instructions STEP by STEP:

 1)Delete the current pairing in your mobile phone if you have one.
 2)Turn the Bluetooth OFF on your phone.
 3)Reset the phone by switching it off and then remove battery.
 4)Reset and test the headset by 'pressing and holding' all three
buttons at the same time. Untill the light will light up in a 
 white light.
 5)In this mode, the pairing list is reset, and you can test if the
headset works as you will be able to hear audio in the 
 speaker from the microphone.
 6)The headset will automatically turn off after approx.10 seconds.
 7)The next time you power on, the headset will go into pairing mode as
the first time you powered your new JABRA EXTREME on.
 8)Re-insert battery in your phone and turn it back on.
 9)Turn the Bluetooth back on. Please set your phone to 'Discover' or
something similar in the Bluetooth section of your menu. 
 The 2 devices should now 'find' each other. Please enter  as the
passkey. Your JABRA EXTREME should now be working.

 I haven't yet tried these steps because till now I don't know how to 
 remove my iPhone 5 battery.  I'd highly appreciate it if any of my
colleagues on the list could help me with instructions on that matter.

 Thank you.

The whole point of Fleksy is that you can type fast without the feedback. If
you want that feedback, just use the regular Apple virtual keyboard. For
those of us who practice with Fleksy a bit and have the special awareness to
type out a word's pattern, you can type quite fast and certainly faster than
if I had to listen first each time to hear if I tapped the correct letter.
