RE: Blind square
Hi, What is the proper way to position the phone when walking using Blind Square? The instructions say to put the phone in your pocket with the screen facing backward; do they mean backward as in facing what's behind you as you're walking or do they mean facing away from you as if looking ahead of you if that makes sense. If I put the phone with the screen facing behind me in my front pants pocket the screen will be facing into my thigh and if it's in my back pocket facing away from me there will be nothing against it so do they mean for you to have it in your back pocket? Also, when I'm in a certain business; it will tell me what's nextdoor but it won't list the name of the business that I'm at. I'm not registered with Four Square so will that make a difference? Last week I was sitting outside a pizza place and I was holding the phone in my hand and it said that Good Fellas Pizza was at 3:00 and 40 feet away. I could reach out and touch the building. Note that this is in a strip mall and not right along the street. Would that make a difference? Sorry about all of these questions but I'm totally new to using GPS or anything like it!

It is perplexing that using the same ID on your PC and on your device is not seeming to synchronize after you make sure and answer all those questions correctly. It has been so long since I have done this that I do not remember the exact steps on making sure things work right. Perhaps signing out and then back in from your device might make things work a little better. One other thing you might consider trying is going to the Apple ID website directly and updating your security questions. This might trigger the need to answer them on both your PC and device again. However if something is not synchronizing properly perhaps this is the fix. The Apple ID website is http://appleid.apple.com. Good luck.

Re: Blind square
The only objection i've got against blindsquare is that it takes too long to report on what street i actually am compared to the Trekker Breeze. It may be that the comparison is unfair, but i have the feeling that i could go down a street for several blocks and then all of a sudden Blindsquare will tell me where i am, and by that time, if i'm lost, i may already have figured out that i'm lost and so have maybe turned around, with Trekker, i feel the response is more instantaneous assuming the damn thing gets a satelite fix, which could take a couple forevers. /Krister 3 mar 2013 kl. 05:44 skrev Grant Hardy grantha...@gmail.com: But BlindSquare provides excellent monitoring (including crossed streets) in addition to POI discovery and allows you to save your own POIs and monitor them. It even has its own speech so can work in the background and while your device is locked. It's the best publically available app that I've encountered thus far in terms of feeling like you are holding a Breeze or a BrailleNote GPS system. The best part is that you can use it in tandem with Navigon or Apple Maps for turn by turn directions (and, in the latter case, map exploration) while still hearing Blindsquare's speech to announce your proximity to the POI along with crossed streets and other info.

However if something is not synchronizing properly perhaps this is the fix. The Apple ID website is http://appleid.apple.com. Good luck.

If I put the phone with the screen facing behind me in my front pants pocket the screen will be facing into my thigh and if it's in my back pocket facing away from me there will be nothing against it so do they mean for you to have it in your back pocket? Also, when I'm in a certain business; it will tell me what's nextdoor but it won't list the name of the business that I'm at. I'm not registered with Four Square so will that make a difference?

Re: Data usage and GPS Apps
Hello, 1GB should do if you only plan on some light web browsing, GPS, and checking e-mail. I've had an iPhone for over 3 years now, and I've yet to break the 1GB barrier. I generally, don't stream except for the occasional baseball or basketball game, leaving more data intensive stuff for when I'm on Wifi.

Moderator Note: Please read - Re: Summary of Seeing Eye app presentation at CSUN
Hello. This topic has obviously turned into a wonderful debate and discussion about various topics which are all related and spawned from the new Sendero and Seeing Eye app. However I would like to remind everyone that the discussion lately has not been about the CSUN presentation. Instead it has been about other things, like other GPS programs or like the opinions of people regarding paying for things and whether someone should subscribe to a yearly fee or pay one time. It is entirely possible that someone who is not interested in CSUN might skip all of these wonderful messages. So I urge you has the list members to please change the subject. Maybe even start a new thread so that your opinion can be hurt. Thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Wired Single EarEarphones Recommendation
This may sound odd but I'm looking for a recommendation for a wired single-ear earphone for use with my iPhone 5. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money (less than $50) but I would appreciate decent quality not unlike what I'm getting with the earpods that came with the iPhone 5. I'm interested in a single ear model since I would like to have my other ear available to stay attuned to what's going on around me. I'm not really interested in bluetooth due to its cost and battery requirements. I tried the Apple store but didn't come across anything. It would be really nice to get something that has a mic and remote and volume up and down buttons like the earpods but I don't think such a thing exists in a wired, single-ear model. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Alan Lemly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Summary of Seeing Eye app presentation at CSUN
Hello, Following your reasoning, this is how I see it. Then, the app's price should also be the same as what sighted people pay.

If the developer went to a one time pricing model, it would have to price the app higher to recover its development costs. It would then face the same kind of criticism from our community for selling an app that the community believes is over priced. It is a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. Personally, I would be prepared to pay more for ownership of the app and for a set of maps that are available at the time of release.

I then purchase an app called Seeing Eye from a company called Sendero. I pay $100 for the app. time goes by. Lets say for the sake of argument that its 3 years later. In the interim I have lost my job, the stock market has crashed and the bank has taken my house back. I have a job interview and want to use this app to find my way to it. I turn it on and low and behold they want another $100 in order for me to use it. In other words I have rented the app for 3 years and now its useless to me. To my small mind this is not good business. I would go so far as to call it extortion. If I am going to pay that high a price for something I damned well want to own it. I do not know what Garmon is going to do with map updates. Whether they are going to be free or not is besides the point. I bought Navigon. It will work the way it is until I get rid of the device, IOS changes so drasticallyy that it no longer is supported or something else better comes along to replace it. The choice is mine, not theirs. Again, these are my opinions and my thoughts. I by no means condemn those of you who have the money to waste on this type of business plan.

Maybe it works better on a smaller screen but on the Nexus 7, I have a high failure rate with it. As far as Netflix, yeah.

And no way to get to the one you want, because the regular scroll gesture doesn't work. I wish these companies wouldn't patent their access-related stuff. The disability community is the big loser when they do that. Mary Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

I know that i will have to keep my laptop turned on for this to be possible. Are there any apps now in the appstore and accessible with voiceover that allow this?

You can find white noise MP3 tracks on the internet. This will provide a quiet hiss sound which the announcement will play over.

Re: LookTel VO Tutorial
AWESOME!! It will really help me and make it useful for me. I really really like the roter game.. It's really cool!!! I will forward this to other lists I am subscribed to. Thanks! Can't wait for more games I am a gamer. Thanks! On 3/2/13, Cara Quinn caraqu...@caraquinn.com wrote: Well, since I haven't seen this one chatted about here on the list, here goes… LookTel has just released, this week, a free app called Voiceover Tutorial. (VO Tutorial) It is a basic tutorial app for new iPhone / iPod users (soon to be on iPad) which teaches all of the necessary gestures so a user can then more easily navigate / investigate their device by themselves. The app also has two games in it. Basketball and Safe. Basketball allows the player to dribble the ball by flicking down and shooting by flicking up. The more you dribble the ball, the more likely you are to make a basket. This is meant to show the player the flick up / down gestures. This then leads to the Safe game, where the player places two fingers on the screen and turns their hand as if to turn a large knob. Voiceover announces numbers as the Safe's virtual dial turns and a sound is played at a particular number. The player then needs to flick up or down to enter that number into the combination lock. Once you enter three numbers successfully, the Safe opens. So, as you might guess, this teaches the rotor gesture… :) Rather than only being for beginning iOS users, all iPhone / iPod users might like this app just to have the games on their devices as quick lil' time wasters. :) We'll be updating this app extensively, and I've already got another game written to add. We'll eventually cover all Voiceover gestures and will have a directory-like system so a customer can immediately go straight to a lesson or game of their choice. Enjoy! Here's the linkie! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/looktel-voiceover-tutorial/id598788231?mt=8 Smiles, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

new IPhone user with some questions
Hi all, I figured instead of bombarding the verizon list with IPhone questions thought I'd join this one. I am a new IPhone user and have some questions. My first one is are there any games in the game center that work with voiceover? Related to that where can I get a list of accessible IPhone games? Also I am looking for a weather radio app that works with voiceover. I know noaa weather radio does but there's also one I saw called IMap weather radio, I can't find any info on it's compatibility with voiceover. In the newest update to I OS 6 I notice sometimes voiceover will say heading not found, what does this mean? Also regarding the app store, if I search for an app that is similar to one I already have installed it will highlight the open button to that particular app instead of showing free, $.99, etc. An example of this would be I already have a police scanner app installed but I saw one that I liked better, well when I search for that app it will show the one I want so I double tap on it and it will go back to the app I've already had installed. How do I get around this? Well I think that's all the questions I have for now. Thanks! Troy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Hello there. It has been my experience with BlindSquare that as long as you're moving, it will announce the street that you were coming up to as well as what direction you're going. Of course if your GPS signal is bouncing due to tall buildings or trees or something else which interferes, then it may not be accurate. However this the same for all GPS programs. In terms of BlindSquare specifically, what I did to make it better for me was make it so only streets are announced. If I am walking around for the most part I do not care to know which restaurants or places of interest are by me. The only time I would do this is if I am wanting to specifically explore the area to see what is really around. However for normal walking, I just want the streets. On Mar 3, 2013, at 5:22 AM, Krister Ekstrom kris...@kristersplace.com wrote: The only objection i've got against blindsquare is that it takes too long to report on what street i actually am compared to the Trekker Breeze. It may be that the comparison is unfair, but i have the feeling that i could go down a street for several blocks and then all of a sudden Blindsquare will tell me where i am, and by that time, if i'm lost, i may already have figured out that i'm lost and so have maybe turned around, with Trekker, i feel the response is more instantaneous assuming the damn thing gets a satelite fix, which could take a couple forevers. /Krister 3 mar 2013 kl. 05:44 skrev Grant Hardy grantha...@gmail.com: But BlindSquare provides excellent monitoring (including crossed streets) in addition to POI discovery and allows you to save your own POIs and monitor them. It even has its own speech so can work in the background and while your device is locked. It's the best publically available app that I've encountered thus far in terms of feeling like you are holding a Breeze or a BrailleNote GPS system. The best part is that you can use it in tandem with Navigon or Apple Maps for turn by turn directions (and, in the latter case, map exploration) while still hearing Blindsquare's speech to announce your proximity to the POI along with crossed streets and other info.

Re: Wired Single EarEarphones Recommendation
Hello. Amazon has various single year pieces which are blue tooth and are compatible with the iPhone and voiceover. Many of them are under $50. Look for Plantronics, then follow it up with one of these models and you will get good results. I would recommend all of these. M50, M55, M155 and finally M165. The first one I list is currently the number one Bluetooth headset sold on Amazon. It has 11 hours talk time and is very comfortable. It does come with a hook, to better stay in your ear. So if you wear glasses this might present a problem. Some of the other ones do not come with a hook built in, but they do come with one that you can snap on so you can choose whether you want one or not. I have personally tried the 165 model, the last one I mentioned, and ended up returning it to Best Buy where I purchased it from, because for the price of that single one, I can buy two of the lesser models from Amazon. This way I can gift one of them to my significant other. As you read the descriptions of these models, some of them might come with a service called vocalist. I would just ignore that since it is really not necessary and seems more like eye candy, or in this case, ear candy.

Re: What apps do people use when on busses
Hi there. Lately I have just been using Ariadne GPS. It is a good provider of course of what direction you're going in and it is very quick update. It does not tell you the Street you are about to cross, but if you have the address mode enabled you will see the address numbers increase or decrease depending on the direction you're going. In many ways I find that just as useful because you have an idea of how far you are traveling in any given direction. Plus if the driver or the automatic system announces the stops, you will start to remember which hundred block number is associated with which street. I have helped many people get better acquainted with traveling around, and this is definitely a useful thing to know. Plus if you are helping others find addresses, you can let them know how close or how far they are based on which hundred block you are in. In the larger picture it does not matter so much what the specific street names are. For example, right now I am in Houston Texas where I do not know the area as well as other places I have lived in. This is because of the fact that I have only lived here for a few months. However traveling the buses around and using Ariadne has given me a better idea of what street names are where even if I do not know every single street, knowing the major ones has really helped. The public buses here have an automatic announcement of what street you are on and what the name of the stop or the cross street is, so that has helped me in not needing the cross street names quite as much. If I did not have that information from the bus at South, I would probably try an app like Navigon or BlindSquare while writing the bus. I hope that helps.

Do a search on google for OBI100 to find out more about it. That is how I learned about it. I love it, I have been using it for the past 5 months and have no dropped calls or any problems with it.

Re: Is there a note app that has really good speech to text
I love the dictation feature on my iPhone. It renders unnecessary the bluetooth keyboard for emails. Since that dictate button shows up where ever there is an edit field, I would guess you could use whatever notes app you wanted. You just have to stop every few sentences. It isn't perfect, but it has certainly made email on the Phone a lot more pleasant.

Re: voice dream and bookshare.
You do not have to buy Read2Go. If you have a BookShare account you could buy either Voice Dream Reader or Read2Go. There have been lots of discussion on both apps so I am not going to repeat the pros and cons of each app here. Those are both mainly for text based books. If you want access to audio books, there are lots of otheo ways.

You can find white noise MP3 tracks on the internet. This will provide a quiet hiss sound which the announcement will play over.

stuck sleep/power switch on a 4S
Hello all, I have a 32 Gig iPhone 4S that I purchased on Oct 15, 2011 and I have Apple Care Plus for it. Unfortunately my sleep/power switch has become very hard to use. I have always had my phone in a case have never dropped or gotten it wet. Currently I have a speck candyshell case on my phone, however even when I take the phone out of the case it's still very hard to get it to sleep/wake using the switch. I do have a Genius Bar appointment this afternoon, and until then I've been using the assistive touch menu as a work around, however I've seen on the internet that some people have had problems getting Apple to exchange their phones,now they could be people who don't have Apple Care Plus but I know my phone is under warrenty as ironically I was at the Apple Store on Friday and was able to exchange my power cable which was fraying. Apparently this is a well documented thing that happens to iPhone 4 iPhone 4S's. I'm shocked as one would think as much as we use the home button that that would wear out much faster! My question is has anyone on this list had their power/sleep button become hard to use? If so, did Apple exchange the phone? I know I could upgrade to the iPhone 5 but I don't want to, I'd like to see what happens this year with the new update. This is my original iPhone 4S, I had 3 iPhone 3GS's (all exchanged through the Genius Bar) as I had battery problems with the first 2 so within a 1.5 year time span I had 3 3GS's and in the same amount of time I have only had 1 4S. Oh yeah, do you know if the phones you get when you exchange them at Apple are they refurbished or are they new?

It even has its own speech so can work in the background and while your device is locked. It's the best publically available app that I've encountered thus far in terms of feeling like you are holding a Breeze or a BrailleNote GPS system. The best part is that you can use it in tandem with Navigon or Apple Maps for turn by turn directions (and, in the latter case, map exploration) while still hearing Blindsquare's speech to announce your proximity to the POI along with crossed streets and other info.

RE: Accessing Google Voice - Was Re: speaking of magic jack
Yup, I read the description on amazon. The only difference between the 3 models is, the 100 has 1 phone jack, the 110 has 2, and it says the second one is for those who want to keep their land line phone, and the 202 model is built with 2 lines in and a modem. Think I will try it like I did with magic jack and see what happens. 4.8 out of 5 stars is nothing to frown on. I will be picking one of these up for my office this week.

Re: stuck sleep/power switch on a 4S
Hi, Yes, I've had that happen to me, but on an iPhone 5. As far as you getting refurbished ones, they're brand new. They simply go in the back in the store and grab a new phone.

Re: stuck sleep/power switch on a 4S
Daniel, Thanks for letting me know that information! I really appreciate it. Wow even on the iPhone 5 that happens! I guess it's a small moving part and they are bound to wear out. Interesting that Apple tests their phones and the carriers don't. I got my phone from ATT. Will let you all know what happens, but I expect smooth sailing. And yes,I've backed up my phone to the iCloud therefore everything should come back, correct? I wonder if my bookshare books will or if I'll have to redownload those?

Re: The Inquisitor audiogame, a text review
Hi. I forgot to mention all the controls in the game: A single tab with 3 fingers is cancel, and a single tab with 4 fingers is the tutorial. Best regards: Søren Jensen Mail MSN: s...@coolfortheblind.dk Website: http://www.coolfortheblind.dk/ Den 03/03/2013 kl. 17.14 skrev Søren Jensen s...@coolfortheblind.dk: Hi all. Here comes my text review of the game. I'm sorry for my bad spelling, but english isn't my first language. :) The Inquisitor is a point and click, or, menu driven audio based adventure game. The controls are described in the game, but I'll briefly go over those anyway, because I'll discuss some navigating issues which don't makes sense if you don't know the controls: Single tab with one finger: Select next item. Single tab with two fingers: Choose the selected item. Swipe down with one finger: Inventory. Swipe left with one finger: Notebook. Swipe up with one finger: Map. Swipe right with one finger: should tell you your mission, but that won't work for me. Drawing a cross: Hints, but that won't work for me either. Well, I hope it's just me who are doing it wrong though. :) First I wanna tell the bad things about the game, which I really hope will be fixed in an update: I find the controls extremely clumsy and annoying. When going through the menus by tabbing once with one finger, the game chooses randomly in the menus. That means if you are counting the menu items, you'll find that the game choose a menu item which you didn't expected, and other times it randomly jumps over some of the menu items, and you have to keep pressing 15 or 20 times until you finally have found what you're looking for. Especially in the inventory, I find the game to automatically pick an item which is done by pressing once with two fingers, when I only press with one finger to go through my inventory. that's bluddy annoying, especially when having more than 10 items in the inventory. Pretty often, I find the game to crash randomly when going through the menus. It just closes, and I'm back on the home screen with VOiceover turned off, and I found myself opening random apps. Not a good thing. :) Having all that said, I haven't tried to reinstall the game because I will then have to start from scratch, but I'll consider doing so if I'm the only one who have those issues. Now, to the great stuff: The game is really good, and it have a great story. There are many puzzles, and I find the difficulty level to be pretty high, because there are used many english words, which I find pretty difficult to understand because english isn't my default language. the game is full of cutseens, and some of them are very long. The audio could have been better, but the music is awesome. The voiceover of the main character is awesome, and sometimes pretty creepy. :) The developers says that there's 6 to 8 hours of gameplay, but I think I've played it more than that, and as I'm writing this, I'm only half through the game. All the areas are very well described, and there are many things which just fits nicely into the game, but you don't have to use. That makes it harder to solve the puzzles, because there are many combinations. In some puzzles, the game kind of plays automatically which I have mixed feelings about. I'm not sure, but it seems as you can easily miss some important cutseens, because you might expect to do the puzzle manually, but then the game does that automatically, so you might end up pressing the screen, which might skip some cutseens. That means you sometimes have to wait a few seconds to see if the game is loading or if you have to do the puzzle on your own. Conklution: Is the game worth the price? Now I'm a gamer, so I'll say yes! :) Thinking of how much narration the game offers, the full translation in three different languages, all those long cutseens, lots and lots of puzzles, minigames which I haven't seen yet and the upcomming graphical versions, I'll say the game is very much worth the price, especially when those issues are fixed. But if you're not into puzzle solving and clicking through a menu to play a game, it might not be for you. I'm really enjoying the game, and I'm looking very much forward to see what the developers are going to release in the future.

Lately I have just been using Ariadne GPS. It is a good provider of course of what direction you're going in and it is very quick update. It does not tell you the Street you are about to cross, but if you have the address mode enabled you will see the address numbers increase or decrease depending on the direction you're going. In many ways I find that just as useful because you have an idea of how far you are traveling in any given direction. Plus if the driver or the automatic system announces the stops, you will start to remember which hundred block number is associated with which street. I have helped many people get better acquainted with traveling around, and this is definitely a useful thing to know. Plus if you are helping others find addresses, you can let them know how close or how far they are based on which hundred block you are in. In the larger picture it does not matter so much what the specific street names are. For example, right now I am in Houston Texas where I do not know the area as well as other places I have lived in. This is because of the fact that I have only lived here for a few months. However traveling the buses around and using Ariadne has given me a better idea of what street names are where even if I do not know every single street, knowing the major ones has really helped. The public buses here have an automatic announcement of what street you are on and what the name of the stop or the cross street is, so that has helped me in not needing the cross street names quite as much. If I did not have that information from the bus at South, I would probably try an app like Navigon or BlindSquare while writing the bus. I hope that helps.

RE: new IPhone user with some questions
Hi Troy, The answer to your first two questions is to explore: www.applevis.com http://www.applevis.com/ There are reviews of all kinds of apps, guides to various things, podcasts about apps etc. If you hear VoiceOver say No Heading, it is because you have the rotor set to headings and you have done a one finger flick up or down. If you don't know what the rotor is, look in the app store for the Looktel Voiceover Tutorial and go through it. In the app store, the related searches will be in what is called a picker list. Touch the bottom left corner of the screen where it says Featured Tab. Then slide your finger up just a tiny bit and you will hear something like police scanner, 1 of 50. If you have hints enabled, it will then say flick up or down to select item or something like that. So, once VoiceOver has focus on that first item, flick up with one finger and you will find the second item and so forth. Then, go back to the top of the screen and you will find the details about that app. HTH, Richard _ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Troy Sullivan Sent: Saturday, March 02, 2013 10:45 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: new IPhone user with some questions Hi all, I figured instead of bombarding the verizon list with IPhone questions thought I'd join this one.

RE: new IPhone user with some questions
Hi Troy, I don't necessarily have answers to all your questions, but I can answer a few things: If Voiceover says Heading not found this means you turned the rotor to headings maybe on a web page since you have to be somewhere where headings are available for navigation. Then If you are somewhere else where there are no headings and you do a single finger flick up or down which normally navigates by whatever unit you set the rotor to, e.g. Characters, Words or Lines, it would say heading not found. As far as weather apps, there are dozens and I suggest that you also check the Applevis website for reviews. Regarding your question about the open button showing for apps you already have installed on the app store, that is normal behavior. If you go to the search tab and type in Police Scanner in order to look for other police scanner apps, there is a so-called picker control at the bottom of the screen which allows you to flick up and select any of the search results it finds. After you type in your search term and double tap Search, wait a moment for the search results to load, then I find it easiest to touch the bottom left of the screen and find the Featured tab, from there do a 1-finger flick left and you end up on the control with all the search results. For example, if I type in police scanner, and do what I just described, Voiceover says the following: Police Scanner and Radio, 1 of 101, adjustable I can then flick up, if I do so once Voiceover says: Canadian Police Scanner Radio, Free, 2 of 101 Once you find an app you want to check out in more detail, touch towards the top of the screen, I usually find the search field and then flick right past the Clear Text button to where the name of the app you are on is read as a heading. Double tap on that and the app details page will open. There will be a Search, back button at the top left of the screen, double tap on it and you are back on the main search page with the picker control at the bottom where you can flick up to go to more apps and so on. It is also useful to know that once you open up the details page of an app, you can turn the rotor to headings and then use a single finger flick down to find the app description, What's New and so on. Once you are at the heading you want, e.g. What's New, just flick right to read the information. Hope this helps, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Troy Sullivan Sent: Saturday, March 02, 2013 10:45 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: new IPhone user with some questions Hi all, I figured instead of bombarding the verizon list with IPhone questions thought I'd join this one.

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
Hi, Out of completeness, to add to the link that Chuck supplied for VO Calendar, here are the current prices, the app description, and Keith's original comments for the two apps that he recommended (VO Calendar and Conditions). • VO Calendar ($9.99) by Devista B.V. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vo-calendar/id508386832?mt=8 The first is called VO Calendar. Its a calendar app that is written specifically for blind users. Sort of high priced but worth it in my opinion. Anything that saves me time and aggravation is worth $10 in my book. Give it a look see. Developer's description: begin quote Do you use VoiceOver on your iPhone because of blindness or because you’re partially sighted? VO Calendar then is the calendar app of your choice. VO Calendar is a weekly calendar specifically designed to be used (only!) with VoiceOver. The result of this VoiceOver-only design is not only a smoother navigation through the app. It also makes it possible for the VoiceOver speech to give smart summaries depending on the context. This prevents you from having to go through each event individually. Existing events are automatically synchronized. If you prefer not to type, you can record voice memos instead. You can use VO Calendar with the VoiceOver gestures you are used to. However, there is an even faster way. With the screen being split into two halves you can scan the right half of the screen with your right thumb. A single tap with your left thumb then is enough to activate the concerning function. After getting used to you will find out this helps you to browse through your calendar even quicker. end quote • Conditions — Beautiful Weather Info on the Go! ($0.99) by Rubber Duck Software https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/conditions-beautiful-weather/id543298335?mt=8 The second app is called Conditions. It's a very simple weather app that is also fully VO compatible. It's 99 cents and worth throwing a buck at the programmer just because he included VO in his thoughts while writing this app. Heard him on a podcast giving Marco Armant the credit for turning him on to VO. Developer's description: begin quote Conditions for iOS makes checking the weather on the go simple, fun and beautiful. Many weather apps clutter their interface and overload their users with tons of details that aren't all that useful. Conditions only shows you the most important information about what it's like outside right now, wherever you are, anywhere in the world. === 5 Day Forecast === Conditions displays a simple, 5 day forecast indicating what it's going to be like outside each day, including the temperature. === Simply simpler === You can easily tap anywhere on the face of Conditions to toggle it into an even simpler more, showing only what it's like outside right now. === Day Night === Conditions knows when it's dark outside and will automatically adjust it's look and feel to match the time of day. end quote HTH. By the way, I read an interesting review about the Conditions weather app that stated it was a beautifully minimalist and accurate weather app -- unless users were using a pirated version. Here's the followup description of what happens then. That is, unless you download it illegally. Then it actually becomes quite inaccurate, displaying a picture of a pirate head and a weather forecast of ‘ARRmageddon 666 degrees’ with daily fire and brimstone showers. Every day. Thanks, Keith, for the recommendations. Cheers, Esther -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: Data usage and GPS Apps
Hi Sieghard and Ricardo, Thanks for the advice. I think based on that I'll go for the 1 GB plan and see how I get on.

If you can get 1 Gb at a reasonable cost then this will do you, I used to be on a Flex plan from my provider which had cut-offs like under 100, 100 to 300, 300 to 500 etc. I often was under 100 Mb, usually between 100 and 300 Mb and now they had a special where I was able to get 2 Gb and unlimited calling in Canada for actually less than what I paid before. I have now been completely not careful with data usage, have downloaded app updates via 3G, downloaded or streamed the occasional podcast over 3G and used Skype and Facetime and still my data usage last months was only 500 Mb. Things like normal every-day stuff like using SIRI, getting emails, going online to look at a website, using GPS and all that doesn't take up very large amounts of data at all.

Re: voice dream and bookshare.
In the next release of Voice Dream Reader, which will come out in a few days, you'll be able to move files from the computer to your iPhone or iPad using iTunes. I looked into reading brf files, and it doesn't seem that difficult. It's a matter prioritizing it among the dozens of items on my to do list. If you feel strongly about needing this feature, please let me know. Best, Winston.

Also, as Fred said, if you have a Dropbox account, you could put the books there and access them. The other great feature is with many files you can actually edit them from within Voice Dream Reader. I keep a list of books that a Book Club reads and I discovered I can easily update it right from within the app. verynice, and that is a Word docx file.

Re: Julia's Voice Not Listed In Voice Dream Lite
The voices are free in the lite version, but they're limited to reading 200-300 characters at a time. In the paid version the voices are $2-$3 a piece. I think the best male voice is Paul. The best female voice is the included voice of Heather. Some prefer Julie. She's a good voice but perhaps toperky for some. Best, Winston.

On 3/2/13, Cara Quinn caraqu...@caraquinn.com wrote: Well, since I haven't seen this one chatted about here on the list, here goes… LookTel has just released, this week, a free app called Voiceover Tutorial. (VO Tutorial) It is a basic tutorial app for new iPhone / iPod users (soon to be on iPad) which teaches all of the necessary gestures so a user can then more easily navigate / investigate their device by themselves. The app also has two games in it. Basketball and Safe. Basketball allows the player to dribble the ball by flicking down and shooting by flicking up. The more you dribble the ball, the more likely you are to make a basket. This is meant to show the player the flick up / down gestures. This then leads to the Safe game, where the player places two fingers on the screen and turns their hand as if to turn a large knob. Voiceover announces numbers as the Safe's virtual dial turns and a sound is played at a particular number. The player then needs to flick up or down to enter that number into the combination lock. Once you enter three numbers successfully, the Safe opens. So, as you might guess, this teaches the rotor gesture… :) Rather than only being for beginning iOS users, all iPhone / iPod users might like this app just to have the games on their devices as quick lil' time wasters. :) We'll be updating this app extensively, and I've already got another game written to add. We'll eventually cover all Voiceover gestures and will have a directory-like system so a customer can immediately go straight to a lesson or game of their choice. Enjoy!

An audio demo of the process and unprocessed microphone in the iPhone 5
Hi, the link below is to a very short demo of the totally different way the microphone on the iPhone 5 can sound when you take away apple's processing. I don't know other apps that do this, but Fire 2 definitely does. You have the way to control the volume, compression, limiter and other audio features. There is a setting in the app that allows you to completely turn off the microphone processing done by apple. First I use List Recorder to record the actual sound of the microphone with all of apple's audio processing turned on, which is the only way most apps can do it. Next, there is a recording made in Fire 2 with the processing turned off.

Automated phone calls on the IPhone
HI everyone, I was wondering; if you answer a call and it's a robo call and you are asked to press 1 to confirm a doctor's appointment or if its a survey and you need to press a # to rate your customer experience etc, is there a way to bring up the keypad in order to do this? Another example is; I live in a gated community and I haven't given the office my cell phone # to associate with my gate code for this reason. When someone comes to visit me, they enter a code from the call box which then calls my home #; I answer the phone and then hit a # on my telephone keypad which then releases the gate. Is there a way to do this on the IPhone? Thanks! Debbie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.
