I happened to have an old victor Stream case and, just for fun, put my iPhone in it. It works very well and I can use the clip to hold it in place.

I'm involved in this cool project. Read more here: Be My Eyes is a non-profit initiative that aims to equip blind with a pair of eyes which fits into your pocket. This can be done by the blind at any time, on his/her smart phone: you start an application, and can through this be put in direct video connection with a voluntary sighted person. The sighted volunteer helps you through the camera in the blind person's smart phone to see (video transmitted to the helpers smart phone) what the blind person is pointing at with the smart phone camera and can solve a given task. The task could, for example. be: Reading the date on a milk carton, see if two socks are alike, read the buttons on the washing machine, etc. It is the blind who has control over what the volunteer sees, while the volunteer can for example say a little closer or date is on the other side of the milk carton. This way the blind and the sighted volunteer help each other to solve the given task. The technical part of the project is, first, to develop an application available for the blind that can connect the users with sighted volunteers - here is so far developed a prototype. The second part is to develop a system on a server that all Be My Eyes will run on. When you create a user account on the system, you could choose whether you are the visual impaired who needs help, or if you are the sighted person who wants to help. The sighted help to be able both to use the system on an iPhone (or other smart phone platforms), an iPad tablet (or other tablet platforms) with a larger screen so it's easier to see the image and on a computer where the image is, of course, it depends on the screen connected to the computer. The idea is to build a network of volunteers who want to help. You can even sign in and out anything useful, and you can specify what time of the day or week you have time to help, where you will be notified accordingly. If technology allows, then the visually impaired also use the app over 3G and 4G, making the possibilities endless, since in this way you can use the system anywhere. This requires of course that as a visually impaired learn some techniques to use the camera properly. The advantage of video interview is that the sighted volunteer can guide one to use the camera properly, which eventually becomes better and better. The team behind Be My Eyes is a mixture of blind, partly sighted and sighted people who know the depth of the problems the project to solve. All involved have contributed on a strictly volunteer basis. The idea stems from Hans Jørgen Wiberg who himself is visually impaired. Hans Jørgen works as a visually impaired consultant in the Danish Blind Society. Here he experienced countless times to sighted assistance in a moment would have made the blind able to solve a variety of tasks on their own. When Hans tried video conferencing on his smart phone dropped the pieces in place - through a voluntary network could be in the moments when the blind was faced with tasks that required vision, get assistance via video chat on your mobile! We are looking for volunteer programmers, visually impaired as impaired. The advantage is that a visually impaired programmer familiar with the challenges of accessibility, and a sighted programmer to help with the visual. We are looking for both people who create applications for PC / Mac, iOS and server based systems. In order to implement this exciting project, we are also looking for financial help, as all in the team is working volunteer and we need some help outside the company as programmers and such, which is not cheap.

Re: BeMyEyes: A ground braking product I'm a part of
I suppose, the cross connected idea, which would require very little development here would be to have a web-site of volunteers… they all sign into Face Time using a designated e-mail address, this would be a universal address that they all would use. They could sign in and out dependant on their availability. Now, next time you want help, rather than Face Timing a friend, you would Face Time that e-mail address. Apple would connect the call to all currently connected online devices, the first one to answer gets it. boom, issue solved. free of charge bar a user database and simple to manage web-site. you could even have different Apple iCloud e-mail addresses dependent on spoken language. so for example; bemyeyes_engl...@icloud.com bemyeyes_fre...@icloud.com etc. That would then allow someone to get a volunteer in their native language. this seems to make a lot of sense like this and has the benefit of being almost instantly available and at very low setup cost.

user guide for Dragon Dictation?
Hi, I am trying to start using Dragon dictation. I installed it and can bring it up but can't figure how to do anything other than supposedly dictating something. I have searched the internet for a user guide or instructions but can't even find that? Does anyone know where to find such info? Thanks.

Re: recent issues connecting to the iTunes store
You need to reset your phone. Press and hold both the power button and the home key for 10 seconds and release both. Your iPhone will come up again talking. Then try to update your apps.

Re: Help with Holiday dinnar
Those kinds of apps use pictures instead of text like many magazines do. Even though text may be present, there are color illustrations as well. I bought a subscription to Motor Home magazine that looked accessible. It was as far as reading the list of articles was concerned. The sad part was when you opened one of the stories, it actually opens a pictorial view of what the printed magazine page looks like. Hope that makes sense. I gave it my best shot at describing it. They did offer to refund my money back to my credit card which was very nice of them. I took them up on their offer. - Original Message - From: chandan mokashi To: accessible-...@googlegroups.com ; viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 10:04 PM Subject: Help with Holiday dinnar Hi all, I read that the holiday dinnar app was accessable so installed it.

Re: Can Talking Goggles read a glucose pump?
I would guess it would be really tough. We have one of those new washers and driers with a digital display which shows the remaining time to completion. The units have sensors inside that determine the amount of moisture and adjust the washing machine spin cycle or the dryer's dry time as shown on the display. I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying that depending on the size of the read out screen would make it tough. The size of the screen on my washer and dryer is about 2 inches high and 3 long. It's a matter of moving my iPhone nearer and farther back to get a reading. It took me a long time and a patient wife to help me understand the information being given me which was a status of all the settings when all I really wanted was just how much longer. I hope this helps give you some sort of idea of what he might be up against. I wouldn't want to give the wrong impression here. Talking Goggles is a great little app and it is very useful.

Re: Accessible Dictionaries
There are many dictionary apps. Most let you try before you buy. The old favorites like Webster's and Miriam what ever her last name is, Then there are on line dictionaries as well. All seem to be accessible as far as the looking up goes. Some also let you view video clips of forum words so you can hear the word pronounced by a native speaker of that language. Others are both a dictionary and encyclopedia. Now there's a way you can discover all kinds of things you never knew before. Several have a feature that lets you see something new every day. Any good app will let you try before you buy. I cannot find a name on the dictionary I have on my iPhone. It's one of the free ones that for a buck or 2 will remove the adds.

Re: Kindle App
Stacey, just go to the Amazon Web site http://www.amazon.com and sign up. I believe there is a sign up orsign in link orbutton. Unless things have changed since the time I created my account, the registration process is simple. You will have to go to the paymet settings under My Account and put credit card \information on file in order to purchase Kindle books easily.

Moderator note about thread hijacking - Was Re: vo starter - Was a way to carry an iPhone 4S
Hi all, this is just a friendly reminder to not hijack threads. Remember that if you hijack a thread it means that there is a good chance that someone will miss your valuable question to the list. So, if you really want the most exposure out there for your question, start a new message with it, instead of replying to an existing message and changing it to a totally different subject. Anne, I'm not picking on you personally, but I want your question to have the most exposure out there because what you write is very important. If anyone needs an explanation on why hijacking an existing thread isn't preferred, write me off list and I'll explain. Many thanks. -- Raul A.

Moderator's note about subject lines - Was Re: another app i stumbled across.
Hello. I for one really appreciate the apps you are sharing with the list. This makes the awareness of such apps even better for everyone. One suggestion I have though is to make the subject line a bit more descriptive. For example, this app you mention is called Fan Fiction. So, maybe you could put the app name in the subject line. Like this, Fan Fiction, another app I stumbled across. Or something similar. This way people will have an idea of whether they want to read the message or not if they are going through hundreds of messages and are deciding which are worth reading by the subject title. I hope this helps, and please take this as constructive criticism. Thanks. -- Raul A.

Moderator's note for early may, please read
Hi all. Just to let you know, I've been extremely busy these last 7 or 8 days. So, I've gotten a bit behind on list management. For the most part this list can manage itself, so that's a good thing. Below are just a few reminders and suggestions on making this list an even more fun place to be when you read your email. 0. List owner and moderator. Kara Quinn is the list owner and Raul Gallegos, (that's me), is the moderator. You can reach the list owners and moderators directly by writing an email to viphone+ow...@googlegroups.com. Note the plus instead of the traditional minus in the email address. You can write me directly by using the format first name at first name last name dot com Just read this message to see how to spell my name. please be aware that any message sent to this list about this list from kara or me is to be taken seriously. You will know if it's of a list nature if we put moderator or owner in the subject line. However also know that both of us are also list members and most of the time when we post messages it is as list members just like yourselves. This means that we may have our own opinions, and we may be wrong about what we post, just like you. I try to put in a disclaimer if posting about a topic which I'm not totally sure of that I hope someone will correct me on, and I have been corrected, and so that is good. 1. New members. If you are a new list member please note that you are automagically placed on moderation until I can determine that you are a real person who is posting messages relevant to this list. If you are a new member who signed up more than 2 weeks ago and you are still moderated, it could mean that you are posting off topic messages, or that you slipped through the cracks and I need to get on the ball and update you. So, please write me off list and ask. 2. Other moderated members. If you are no longer a new member, but you are moderated, it means that you were placed there by me for a number of reasons. usually the more common reasons are for posting off topic messages or for flaming or being rude to the list members. In cases like this I write the person first to let them know if they will be placed on moderation. I don't like having list members moderated because it generates more work for me each day, which leads to number 3. 3. Moderation queue. I try to visit the list moderation queue once per day at least. However real life and other commitments might keep me from doing that 100% of the time. This means that if you are on moderated status for reasons 1 or 2, your messages may not get to the list as quickly as you like. So, the goal here is to not be on moderated status to begin with. if I had zero members on moderated status that would be super and fantastic and all those good adjectives. 4. Keep this list lively and positive. Please remember that this list has well over 1400 members and that includes people from all places in the world. Don't assume that only people from your own country are here. Because of this there will be many different ways that people write or express themselves. As long as these ways are not seen as flaming, personally attacking others, or outright rude, then I would ask that you show tolerance if a message comes through which isn't worded in the exact way that you would word it yourself. If you have an issue with a list member please write them privately, or ignore their messages. 5. VIPhone. Remember that this list is for the primary discussion of the iPhone and its related family members. I.E. iPod Touch, iPad, and even Apple TV. This also includes software used in the iPhone and its related family members like iOS and the various apps, iTunes software for the Mac or PC, and jailbreaking. Hardware things like the many accessories for all the devices. I.E. Keyboards, cases, speakers, you name it. So, after all that huge list of acceptable things, please don't post off topic messages which don't include them. I.E. Your favorite dog guide school, how to burn CDs using Winamp, how to setup your Windows or Mac, ETC. 6. Have fun. Even though there are guidelines for this list, let's all remember to have fun, respect one another, and keep the list alive. it's not about the number of messages are posted to the list, but about the quality of the messages to the list. Whether that's 10, 1q00, or 1000 in a given month, let's make each one of those messages count. That's all, have fun. -- Raul A.

RE: Seeking some Advice on the Best Apps for Tasks and Reminders
I loved the app called alarmed. There is an ED at the end of alarm. You will find that this app has tons of ways to remind you. The extras package unlocks sounds and super day minders. Jenn From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Catherine Mahony Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2013 10:05 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Seeking some Advice on the Best Apps for Tasks and Reminders Hi all Sorry if this is repetitive but I sent this request yesterday and as I haven't heard from any of you I'm wondering if you received it. I was trying to send with Siri and I've only been using it since Tuesday. Just wondering if any of you can recommend an easy to use app for reminders and tasks. I like reminders except that I also sometimes like to input tasks that I think of from my windows PC as well as my iPhone. I also find the app difficult to navigate on my MacBook Air but that may just be due to my inexperience. Only had it since last Friday. I quite like the mobile website for Remember the Milk when I'm using my PC and really loved the iPhone app but don't find the new version so easy to use. I've downloaded Wonderlist on my MacBook but haven't tried it yet. I'm really bogged down in knowing which app to try and can't give it any more time at the moment. Meanwhile I'm forgetting and putting off tasks. Can anyone advise me? Thanks very much Catherine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Moderator's note for early may, please read
Can you give us the email address for subscribing to the digest format? I think there are 2 digests, so I'm thinking of the abbreviated one. But if both digests have one, others might like to see both. Thanks, Sarah - Original Message - From: Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com To: ViPhone List viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 6:50 AM Subject: Moderator's note for early may, please read Hi all. Just to let you know, I've been extremely busy these last 7 or 8 days. So, I've gotten a bit behind on list management. For the most part this list can manage itself, so that's a good thing. Below are just a few reminders and suggestions on making this list an even more fun place to be when you read your email. 0. List owner and moderator. Kara Quinn is the list owner and Raul Gallegos, (that's me), is the moderator. You can reach the list owners and moderators directly by writing an email to viphone+ow...@googlegroups.com. Note the plus instead of the traditional minus in the email address. You can write me directly by using the format first name at first name last name dot com Just read this message to see how to spell my name. please be aware that any message sent to this list about this list from kara or me is to be taken seriously. You will know if it's of a list nature if we put moderator or owner in the subject line. However also know that both of us are also list members and most of the time when we post messages it is as list members just like yourselves. This means that we may have our own opinions, and we may be wrong about what we post, just like you. I try to put in a disclaimer if posting about a topic which I'm not totally sure of that I hope someone will correct me on, and I have been corrected, and so that is good. 1. New members. If you are a new list member please note that you are automagically placed on moderation until I can determine that you are a real person who is posting messages relevant to this list. If you are a new member who signed up more than 2 weeks ago and you are still moderated, it could mean that you are posting off topic messages, or that you slipped through the cracks and I need to get on the ball and update you. So, please write me off list and ask. 2. Other moderated members. If you are no longer a new member, but you are moderated, it means that you were placed there by me for a number of reasons. usually the more common reasons are for posting off topic messages or for flaming or being rude to the list members. In cases like this I write the person first to let them know if they will be placed on moderation. I don't like having list members moderated because it generates more work for me each day, which leads to number 3. 3. Moderation queue. I try to visit the list moderation queue once per day at least. However real life and other commitments might keep me from doing that 100% of the time. This means that if you are on moderated status for reasons 1 or 2, your messages may not get to the list as quickly as you like. So, the goal here is to not be on moderated status to begin with. if I had zero members on moderated status that would be super and fantastic and all those good adjectives. 4. Keep this list lively and positive. Please remember that this list has well over 1400 members and that includes people from all places in the world. Don't assume that only people from your own country are here. Because of this there will be many different ways that people write or express themselves. As long as these ways are not seen as flaming, personally attacking others, or outright rude, then I would ask that you show tolerance if a message comes through which isn't worded in the exact way that you would word it yourself. If you have an issue with a list member please write them privately, or ignore their messages. 5. VIPhone. Remember that this list is for the primary discussion of the iPhone and its related family members. I.E. iPod Touch, iPad, and even Apple TV. This also includes software used in the iPhone and its related family members like iOS and the various apps, iTunes software for the Mac or PC, and jailbreaking. Hardware things like the many accessories for all the devices. I.E. Keyboards, cases, speakers, you name it. So, after all that huge list of acceptable things, please don't post off topic messages which don't include them. I.E. Your favorite dog guide school, how to burn CDs using Winamp, how to setup your Windows or Mac, ETC. 6. Have fun. Even though there are guidelines for this list, let's all remember to have fun, respect one another, and keep the list alive. it's not about the number of messages are posted to the list, but about the quality of the messages to the list. Whether that's 10, 1q00, or 1000 in a given month, let's make each one of those messages count. That's all, have fun. -- Raul A. Gallegos Twitter and Facebook user ID: rau47 --

They could sign in and out dependant on their availability. Now, next time you want help, rather than Face Timing a friend, you would Face Time that e-mail address. Apple would connect the call to all currently connected online devices, the first one to answer gets it. boom, issue solved. free of charge bar a user database and simple to manage web-site. you could even have different Apple iCloud e-mail addresses dependent on spoken language. so for example; bemyeyes_engl...@icloud.com bemyeyes_fre...@icloud.com etc. That would then allow someone to get a volunteer in their native language. this seems to make a lot of sense like this and has the benefit of being almost instantly available and at very low setup cost.

I'm involved in this cool project. Read more here: Be My Eyes is a non-profit initiative that aims to equip blind with a pair of eyes which fits into your pocket. This can be done by the blind at any time, on his/her smart phone: you start an application, and can through this be put in direct video connection with a voluntary sighted person. The sighted volunteer helps you through the camera in the blind person's smart phone to see (video transmitted to the helpers smart phone) what the blind person is pointing at with the smart phone camera and can solve a given task. The task could, for example. be: Reading the date on a milk carton, see if two socks are alike, read the buttons on the washing machine, etc. It is the blind who has control over what the volunteer sees, while the volunteer can for example say a little closer or date is on the other side of the milk carton. This way the blind and the sighted volunteer help each other to solve the given task. The technical part of the project is, first, to develop an application available for the blind that can connect the users with sighted volunteers - here is so far developed a prototype. The second part is to develop a system on a server that all Be My Eyes will run on. When you create a user account on the system, you could choose whether you are the visual impaired who needs help, or if you are the sighted person who wants to help. The sighted help to be able both to use the system on an iPhone (or other smart phone platforms), an iPad tablet (or other tablet platforms) with a larger screen so it's easier to see the image and on a computer where the image is, of course, it depends on the screen connected to the computer. The idea is to build a network of volunteers who want to help. You can even sign in and out anything useful, and you can specify what time of the day or week you have time to help, where you will be notified accordingly. If technology allows, then the visually impaired also use the app over 3G and 4G, making the possibilities endless, since in this way you can use the system anywhere. This requires of course that as a visually impaired learn some techniques to use the camera properly. The advantage of video interview is that the sighted volunteer can guide one to use the camera properly, which eventually becomes better and better. The team behind Be My Eyes is a mixture of blind, partly sighted and sighted people who know the depth of the problems the project to solve. All involved have contributed on a strictly volunteer

Re: BeMyEyes: A ground braking product I'm a part of
Hi. Thank you very much for your comments. We want video calls instead just taking a picture. Realtime video makes a big difference, just like FaceTime. Best regards: Søren Jensen Mail MSN: s...@coolfortheblind.dk Website: http://www.coolfortheblind.dk/ Den 02/05/2013 kl. 02.13 skrev Nimit Kaur kaur.ni...@gmail.com: Hey! I think this is a good idea despite the fact that some of the apps do it already and I agree. I think though, this is a great start. I think I have some suggestions. You can make it so that a person takes a picture of something and volunteer can respond by typing. Like, the person types their question after taking the picture. I know, folks, Viz-Wiz already does that, but half of the time, people / web workers don't even listen to the question and randomly type anything which is annoying. At least, if you could create an app something similar to that but add the video and people can use it if they prefer. Yes, family and friends are a great resource but again, as someone said, they are not always available and I don't either like to disturb them too much with stuff and not everyone in the world has faceTime or Skype or any of those stuff. I think this app will be great for a backup usage. You can still use skype and facetime if you want, but this is for backup just in case you have no where to go and no help available. I have had that happen. So, I feel that it's a great start and I want to tell the developer to not give up despite people's comments because you might come out with something awesome that Viz-Wiz or TapTapse or any of those stuff. That would be awesome. So yeah. I mean, I don't mean anything bad and I am just trying to input my good luck to the developer and don't give up. Keep coming with ideas. This is just a fine start.

How do I keep a permanent copy of the books I download to the iPhone
Hi, If I download a book directly to my iPhone, is there any way I can keep it permanently. If I delete if from the phone, it will likely delete it from iTunes assuming I have synced it. Am I better off downloading books directly to my computer where I can place the ones I have read in a particular folder? Or, are there other ways to make sure I have a permanent copy of the book? Example, is there a place in iTunes where the book is stored such that I could make a copy of it? Thanks much.

The sighted volunteer helps you through the camera in the blind person's smart phone to see (video transmitted to the helpers smart phone) what the blind person is pointing at with the smart phone camera and can solve a given task. The task could, for example. be: Reading the date on a milk carton, see if two socks are alike, read the buttons on the washing machine, etc. It is the blind who has control over what the volunteer sees, while the volunteer can for example say a little closer or date is on the other side of the milk carton. This way the blind and the sighted volunteer help each other to solve the given task.

For jailbreakers.. Replace Siri with Google now
Hi If your familiar with the Google search app then you know about the Google version of Siri. If you don't then imagine the same thing only a little faster. The only problem is that you have to use it from the app. Ath least until you jailbreak. This will work on the iPhone 4 and probably the 3s but I can't promise anything. In the cydia store search and install now now. Its totally free. If you don't have Activator get that while your there. This is the tweak that will let you assign Google now to any button or gesture. Now get the Google search app. Open your settings and scroll to Activator. Select if you want the action to happen anywhere or on the home screen and so on. Then pick the gesture or button you want to. Start Google. You can replace the press and hold of the home button if you want. Once that is done select the Google now option which will be near the top of your list. I set up a single tap on the status bar. First setting up the Google app is annoying since Google doesn't feel the need to label most of the buttons. The first few steps are easy. Just press next a few times to get through the tutorial type stuff. Then it will ask you if you want to send info back to Google or not if you do they will track you for traffic reports and weather and so on. Log in to your Google account and you should be done with setting it up. From here on out just use whatever gesture you chose to activate Google and speak to it. Now, all the buttons on the screen that opens aren't labeled but the bottom center right above the home button is the listen button to use Google again. I know this sounds like a lot but just install Google search from the app store. Install Activator and now now from Cydia. Configure Activator, set Google up, label the listen button and your done. I prefer Google to Siri just because most of the time it's faster. With this jailbreak ability to integrate it things are much easier. Sorry for the long winded explanation.

Re: BeMyEyes: A ground braking product I'm a part of
Hi. So where do you find an app where you can do the following: Get the interface in other language than english Connect to a network and see who's online, ready to help, speaks your language which might not be english and do it all in a video call? Vizwiz can't do that, this app is only in english, no video calls which means nobody to guide you to get the best picture. Facetime is great, but there you are limited to Apples products, and you have to call someone you already know. Skype, well, I'm having issues on navigating the call screen, and switch to the back camera. Nice if Vizwiz works for you, but it don't works for all people, because people only speak english there, and if the picture isn't good enough, well, you have to try again.

You take a photo record a question and it uploads to a server and volunteers send answers back. This is just my humble opinion, but if you skype or facetime a person just to get the answer to a question like what can is this or the expiary date etc, using vizwiz or even a scanning app such as text detective seems much quicker and more efficient, and if you were to call a stranger ask your question and have them answer you probably in less than a minute, seems a bit pointless use of data and time consumption when there are already other apps out there.

table of contents not available in Kindle books
I've looked in a few of my Kindle books, and in the go to menu, table of contents is always preceded by not available for this title. That really cuts down on efficiency of navigation for nonfiction titles. I wonder if I'm just finding flukes that don't happen to have the t o c. Or is this typical? Or is it specific to the accessibility and still something Amazon needs to fix? I know you can go to location, but that's pretty meaningless in terms of book content.

Nope. You find your device in iTunes. Hit the apps radio button. Go to File Sharing and arrow down to Kindle. Then go to the Add button. Click on that, and the usual dialog will open up. Find the file or files you want to add, and they will be added to the Kindle app somehow. Then you just sync the device and they *should* appear.

I try to put in a disclaimer if posting about a topic which I'm not totally sure of that I hope someone will correct me on, and I have been corrected, and so that is good. 1. New members. If you are a new list member please note that you are automagically placed on moderation until I can determine that you are a real person who is posting messages relevant to this list. If you are a new member who signed up more than 2 weeks ago and you are still moderated, it could mean that you are posting off topic messages, or that you slipped through the cracks and I need to get on the ball and update you. So, please write me off list and ask. 2. Other moderated members. If you are no longer a new member, but you are moderated, it means that you were placed there by me for a number of reasons. usually the more common reasons are for posting off topic messages or for flaming or being rude to the list members. In cases like this I write the person first to let them know if they will be placed on moderation. I don't like having list members moderated because it generates more work for me each day, which leads to number 3. 3. Moderation queue. I try to visit the list moderation queue once per day at least. However real life and other commitments might keep me from doing that 100% of the time. This means that if you are on moderated status for reasons 1 or 2, your messages may not get to the list as quickly as you like. So, the goal here is to not be on moderated status to begin with. if I had zero members on moderated status that would be super and fantastic and all those good adjectives. 4. Keep this list lively and positive. Please remember that this list has well over 1400 members and that includes people from all places in the world. Don't assume that only people from your own country are here. Because of this there will be many different ways that people write or express themselves. As long as these ways are not seen as flaming, personally attacking others, or outright rude, then I would ask that you show tolerance if a message comes through which isn't worded in the exact way that you would word it yourself. If you have an issue with a list member please write them privately, or ignore their messages. 5. VIPhone. Remember that this list is for the primary discussion of the iPhone and its related family members. I.E. iPod Touch, iPad, and even Apple TV. This also includes software used in the iPhone and its related family members like iOS and the various apps, iTunes software for the Mac or PC, and jailbreaking. Hardware things like the many accessories for all the devices. I.E. Keyboards, cases, speakers, you name it. So, after all that huge list of acceptable things, please don't post off topic messages which don't include them. I.E. Your favorite dog guide school, how to burn CDs using Winamp, how to setup your Windows or Mac, ETC. 6. Have fun. Even though there are guidelines for this list, let's all remember to have fun,
Jailbreak iTouch 4th gen
Hi all, I've been interested in jailbreaking my iTouch 4th gen for a while. I've been googling and reading list archives to try to learn more, but I'd like to be pointed to more resources. Are there any podcasts going step by step? Are there websites listing accessible JB apps? Websites listing pros/cons for VO users on jailbreaking? Lastly, and maybe most importantly, will I feel a performance boost from jailbreaking? The sluggishness on my iTouch drives me crazy. I mostly grab my iPhone4s to surf and use apps, which kind of defeats the the iTouch hanging around. ;) Except, I love it for Pandora my braille display. Thank you for any guidance. I really enjoy reading and learning all I can, before stepping into this. Traci -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: how to integrate gmail with phone/contacts on ios?
Unfortunately, I don't understand your question. Most email clients are going to support Exchange, such as the built in email client on the iPhone. What's not being supported here is that Google will no longer allow newer email addresses to use their Exchange servers, so to sync your Gmail, you'd have to use IMAP or POP instead of Exchange. Most clients will also support IMAP and POP.

Correct. Not only that, but Microsoft Exchange is no longer supported for new devices (i.e. if you've used Gmail via Exchange on your device before, you can keep doing so but you can't set up new devices to use it). So for all practical purposes, there's no Exchange support anymore. So for synchronization of contacts, CardDav is really the only option.

Re: using Chrome?
I started using it when I had a problem in Safari where double tapping an item would actually activate another item, something other than the link or button I had just swiped to in VO. I didn't have this problem in Chrome. I think Chrome is a bit faster than Safari, but that's just anecdotal. I don't think there's a big advantage to using Chrome over Safari, although if I'm just bringing up a browser, I'll default to Chrome. You can't change the default browser on your iPhone though, and I don't have any problems using Safari when it comes up automatically.

Re: Can I have more than one e-mail account on an iDevice?
My first reply was a quite terse YES. What I don't know is how different users would configure the mail client so that each would have access to his/her accounts only. In other words, I know you can have multiple e-mail accounts, but how to go about separating access to them in the mail client is something I can't answer; I suspect that's a concern in this matter.

The safe and secure range I haven't tried, but the latest update means that the remote heating control is now fully accessible to voiceover users.

Controlling means switching modes between Off, Scheduled, and continuous. . Adjusting the target temperature. . Checking the system's current status. . Full access to the scheduling program.

I am interested in reading Kindle and Nook books with a male voice if possible. Is there any way to change the voice when VoiceOver is on to a male voice? I see that I can use Siri with a male voice, but only when VoiceOver is turned off (not very helpful). I have an iPhone 4S. Also, does anyone know a good way to get the Kindle and Nook commands in a file that can be read on an electronic Braille device? It is hard to use the books and to learn the commands at the same time. Thank you.

Re: British Gas MyHome
Wow, wish there was something like this available in the US! smiles Glad it's working for you!:) Kindly, Kayla K - Original Message - From: Tony To: access...@freelists.org ; viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 2:05 PM Subject: British Gas MyHome Hi This week, British Gas released an update to their iOS MyHome application, which facilitates control of their remote heating control (RHC), and their range of safe and secure products. The safe and secure range I haven't tried, but the latest update means that the remote heating control is now fully accessible to voiceover users. Using the App, Provided you have the appropriate hardware, you can control your heating system from anywhere assuming you have a network connection. · Controlling means switching modes between Off, Scheduled, and continuous. · Adjusting the target temperature. · Checking the system's current status. · Full access to the scheduling program.

DiceWorld: How to get rid of the adds?
Hi. I'm really enjoying this game, but I'm getting so annoyed by the adds. Pretty often, I'm forced to click on an unlabeled button which opens up a random app in the App store, and other times the screen is just blank accept for the statusbar, and I need to close the app in the app switcher and open it again to continue with the game. I have purchased the thing which should remove the adds, but that didn't helped. Any tips on how to get rid of that?

Possibly off topic Kindle problem
The reason this may be off topic is that it has to do with the inaccessibility of a part of their web site that supports the app and not the app itself. If I am crossing the line here, the moderators will let me know. I can not delete books from the cloud as a sighted person would. If I go to manage my Kindle to the book I want to delete from the cloud, there is a pop up actions menu that neither JAWS or NVDA will open. I just spend an hour on the phone with Amazon and was told that that pop up contains the delete option. They are alerting their web people to the fact that this may be a screen reader problem at least in Windows. I just wanted to report this in case people had the same problem. I don't think people will want to hear from everyone if they are simply confirming this. However, if you do get it to work, it would be nice to know how you did it. Thanks much, and sorry if I stretched the bounds of the list topics. Neal -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: For jailbreakers.. Replace Siri with Google now
Damn, this alone might get me to jailbreak. Has iOS 6 graduated to the untethered type jailbreak? I've never done it before, so forgive the dumb question. Joe -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 11:53 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: For jailbreakers.. Replace Siri with Google now Hi If your familiar with the Google search app then you know about the Google version of Siri. If you don't then imagine the same thing only a little faster. The only problem is that you have to use it from the app. Ath least until you jailbreak. This will work on the iPhone 4 and probably the 3s but I can't promise anything. In the cydia store search and install now now. Its totally free. If you don't have Activator get that while your there. This is the tweak that will let you assign Google now to any button or gesture. Now get the Google search app. Open your settings and scroll to Activator. Select if you want the action to happen anywhere or on the home screen and so on. Then pick the gesture or button you want to. Start Google. You can replace the press and hold of the home button if you want. Once that is done select the Google now option which will be near the top of your list. I set up a single tap on the status bar. First setting up the Google app is annoying since Google doesn't feel the need to label most of the buttons. The first few steps are easy. Just press next a few times to get through the tutorial type stuff. Then it will ask you if you want to send info back to Google or not if you do they will track you for traffic reports and weather and so on. Log in to your Google account and you should be done with setting it up. From here on out just use whatever gesture you chose to activate Google and speak to it. Now, all the buttons on the screen that opens aren't labeled but the bottom center right above the home button is the listen button to use Google again. I know this sounds like a lot but just install Google search from the app store. Install Activator and now now from Cydia. Configure Activator, set Google up, label the listen button and your done. I prefer Google to Siri just because most of the time it's faster. With this jailbreak ability to integrate it things are much easier. Sorry for the long winded explanation.

The safe and secure range I haven’t tried, but the latest update means that the remote heating control is now fully accessible to voiceover users. Using the App, Provided you have the appropriate hardware, you can control your heating system from anywhere assuming you have a network connection. ·Controlling means switching modes between Off, Scheduled, and continuous. ·Adjusting the target temperature. ·Checking the system’s current status. ·Full access to the scheduling program. Before this version, MyHome was not accessible. There is still the option to control the RHC by SMS, e.g. Heat on, Heat Off.
