Question on Square Card Reader
I just received a Square credit card reader, and would be interested in communicating with someone who has experience with it. 1. Is it possible to use a splitter, pluged into the earphone jack, to be able to plug in both the reader and an earphone? If so, is there anything I should specificly ask for when purchasing the splitter? I would rather not use a wireless headset unless it's absolutely necessary. 2. If I install the app on both my iPhone and iPad, can I switch back and forth between the two, or am I limited to using it on one device?

Gallegos Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 4:36 PM To: ViPhone List Subject: total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6 users Hi all. As you may or may not know, I'm a Google Voice fan. One of the primary reasons why I jailbreak is to fully integrate Google Voice with my iPhone. This means total integration in making and receiving phone calls as well as texts. I was able to do this fine with jailbroken iOS 4.X and 5.X using 2 tweaks called Phone GV Extension and SMS GV Extension. These allow you to tap on a number anywhere and call like normal, but the call originates from your Google number instead of your real cell number. The sms tweak is the same for making and receiving texts using the regular messages app, meaning that it will come to and from your Google number. All of this was lost in the jailbreak of iOS6 because the developer didn't update those tweaks to work with iOS6. However a couple of weeks ago, a new developer who took over those tweaks released a new tweak called Call on GV. This is the calling portion of the Google voice tweak allowing you to seamlessly make and receive Google voice calls on your phone using the phone app or tapping on a number from anywhere. Today I discovered that he released the SMS on GV tweak, which adds the functionality to sms texting as well. So, this makes my Google Voice experience complete once more on my phone. Please note that without jailbreaking you can still use a Google Voice number with your iPhone, but you will need to do it through an app such as the official and free Google Voice app, or from the highly recommended app called GV Connect. Because it's not a total integration, you have to make phone calls from that app's dialer, and you have to do all your texting from within the app. So, it's not a total loss. However if you are inside another app which wants to send out a text message to share information, it will send it from your real cell number instead of your Google number. This is why jailbreaking is necessary. I hope this helps some of you out there, and please note that this message doesn't mean you should jailbreak. Remember it's not for everyone. It's not illegal, but it does void your warranty. All that being said, my phone is out of warranty, and so I'm fine. -- Raul A.

Re: total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6 users
Hi, to setup Call on GV, you need to fill in your real cell phone number, your Google user name, and your Google password. Then you need to choose a dialing mode. For example I find that direct dial is best. What this does is choose a random number which is used as a Google voice gateway which puts your call through. When this is done, the call is all outgoing and seamless. If you look at the details of the outgoing calls on your bill they will be very different than the actual numbers you called, but this tweak shows the real number in your phone call log to make it easy. If you don't want to use direct dial you can use call back. This method places the call and then your phone rings as if from an incoming call from your own Google voice number. You answer it, and the call is put through. I used to use this method a lot when I was on a fixed minute plan with ATT because I had the a-list and I added my GV number to it. So as far as ATT was concerned I was simply receiving incoming calls from my GV number, which was unlimited due to it being on the a-list. Now that I have unlimited calling minutes I just use direct dial. Hope this helps. -- Raul A.

Re: help with reminders
Where is the repeat button; I see a checkbox which I checked and then unchecked because it sounds like that just shows it as completed which it obviously is not. I can edit it or delete or reorder it but nothing says repeat. -Original Message- From: Woody Anna Dresner Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 11:05 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: help with reminders Hi Paul, You can definitely set a recurring reminder. I think the easiest thing to do would be to ask Siri to remind you on June 18 at 7 PM or whatever time and date you next want to be reminded. Siri should show you the reminder and give you the opportunity to approve or reject it. Approve it, and then open the Reminders app, find the reminder, and press Edit. The date and time should be shown. There's also a Repeat button. Double-tap that and choose Every Month. Then you should be reminded at the same time and date each month.

Re: help with reminders
Sieghard, is it better to tell siri to do this every month or to try and find the repeat button? Paul From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 11:52 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: help with reminders Hi Paul, As Anna pointed out, SIRI can definitely set a recurring reminder. I wonder if before you forgot to confirm the reminder and that is why it didn’t work. I, for example, asked SIRI to “Remind me to take the garbage out every Tuesday at 8 AM”. SIRI showed me the reminder and I tapped on “Yes” to confirm, now every Tuesday morning at 8 I get a reminder saying “Take the Garbage out”. In your case, you would say, using “telephone bill” as an example along with the 18th and 8 AM as the reminder time: Remind me to pay my telephone bill at 8 AM on the 18th of every month I just tried this and SIRI came back and said “Here is your reminder starting on June 18th at 8 AM, Pay my telephone bill”. I find SIRI is by far the easiest and quickest way to set reminders and I never use the Alarmed app any more. I guess it has some features like nagging and setting the reminder to come up a certain time before the actual time you want it and so on, but if I want to be reminded of a 9 AM dentist appointment half an hour early, I just ask SIRI to “Remind me about my 9 o’clock dentist appointment at 8:30 AM”.

Re: total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6 users
Hello: When I found the Phone GV Extension app in Cydia, it still says that it is not compatible for IOS 6. . On May 22, 2013, at 5:36 PM, Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: Hi all. As you may or may not know, I'm a Google Voice fan. One of the primary reasons why I jailbreak is to fully integrate Google Voice with my iPhone. This means total integration in making and receiving phone calls as well as texts. I was able to do this fine with jailbroken iOS 4.X and 5.X using 2 tweaks called Phone GV Extension and SMS GV Extension. These allow you to tap on a number anywhere and call like normal, but the call originates from your Google number instead of your real cell number. The sms tweak is the same for making and receiving texts using the regular messages app, meaning that it will come to and from your Google number. All of this was lost in the jailbreak of iOS6 because the developer didn't update those tweaks to work with iOS6. However a couple of weeks ago, a new developer who took over those tweaks released a new tweak called Call on GV. This is the calling portion of the Google voice tweak allowing you to seamlessly make and receive Google voice calls on your phone using the phone app or tapping on a number from anywhere. Today I discovered that he released the SMS on GV tweak, which adds the functionality to sms texting as well. So, this makes my Google Voice experience complete once more on my phone. Please note that without jailbreaking you can still use a Google Voice number with your iPhone, but you will need to do it through an app such as the official and free Google Voice app, or from the highly recommended app called GV Connect. Because it's not a total integration, you have to make phone calls from that app's dialer, and you have to do all your texting from within the app. So, it's not a total loss. However if you are inside another app which wants to send out a text message to share information, it will send it from your real cell number instead of your Google number. This is why jailbreaking is necessary. I hope this helps some of you out there, and please note that this message doesn't mean you should jailbreak. Remember it's not for everyone. It's not illegal, but it does void your warranty. All that being said, my phone is out of warranty, and so I'm fine. -- Raul A.

Guide, filtering gmail in different inboxes
Hi Since i messed up the last forwarded messages, i try again. Hi Other may fill in and add details or correct. No problem. In my opinion a filter option is a great tool to keep order in our inbox. Noticed that some have 3000 - 4000 emails after 3 days without checking the email. I like many others are using gmail. A very good email client. Accesible. Filtering using Label and filter. You can use the Mail account built in IOS with gmail inside Mail IOS. If you make a new Label or a Map(this is the same i.e..Label is an map in your mailbox list under inbox, sent, deleted etc). If you don't have an gmail account you ca register one first on google.com Don't remember exactly how, but it is pretty straight forward and not dangerous. Chose IMAP if it is an option between IMAP or POP. IMAP synchronize email between iPhone, iPod, Mac and iPad. If you want to use the built in Mail program in IOS you register first on google.com then go to Settings Mail add Account. Find gmail in the list.. If memory serves, you only have to set username and password inside the built in IOS MAIL IF you already have signed an account on google.com Making a Label or Map. 1. Log in to gmail. 2. Go to Settings Label. Settings are in the upper right corner. A window pops up and you find the Label knob.Above the inbox there are also an link called make a filter and after above the inbox. Opening this, the same window opens. 3. Find the text box. Type the name viphone for the Label or Map(it is the same). Hit setup knob. Now you have a Label or Map in your list under Mailbox i.e. inbox, sent, all e-post etc. Make a filter rule. It is easy. Gmail is accessible and straight forward in this case at least. 1. Find the knob Filter in the same window above the table in a list above the table. Hit filter. Now we want to filter viphone@googlegroups.com to go into the Label or Map you made. 2. Find the knob make a new filter. A new window with a table opens. Set a filter. Make search criteria. 3. Find the text field from. Do not type anything here - leave this field empty. 4. Tab to to field Here you type viphone@googlegroups.com. 5. Tab to subject. Leave this field empty. 6. Tab to cotain these words. Leave this field empty. 7. Tab to do not contain.

Hi Paul, What I described shouldn't require a repeat button, if you tell SIRI to Remind me every Tuesday at 8 AM to do something or Remind me on the 15th of every month then this should set up the recurring reminder for you.

I wonder if before you forgot to confirm the reminder and that is why it didn't work. I, for example, asked SIRI to Remind me to take the garbage out every Tuesday at 8 AM. SIRI showed me the reminder and I tapped on Yes to confirm, now every Tuesday morning at 8 I get a reminder saying Take the Garbage out. In your case, you would say, using telephone bill as an example along with the 18th and 8 AM as the reminder time: Remind me to pay my telephone bill at 8 AM on the 18th of every month I just tried this and SIRI came back and said Here is your reminder starting on June 18th at 8 AM, Pay my telephone bill. I find SIRI is by far the easiest and quickest way to set reminders and I never use the Alarmed app any more. I guess it has some features like nagging and setting the reminder to come up a certain time before the actual time you want it and so on, but if I want to be reminded of a 9 AM dentist appointment half an hour early, I just ask SIRI to Remind me about my 9 o'clock dentist appointment at 8:30 AM.

OCr of white text on coloured image.
Hi, I received a birthday party invitation which is like a post-card. It is shiny, the background is floral and purple (mainly) and the script is white and , in places, swirly,. In other words, not something that we can scan as yet. I tried many times with prizmo, using the StandScan Pro plus lights, then without the lights to try and avoid glare. But Prizmo told me that no text could be found. I then tried it with Text Grabber. I did, at least get results, more often than not and discovered something interesting: each time my results were not complete, but different bits of text were identified! This was strange because, if I had been able to amalgamate all my results, I would have got just about all the info. So, if TG could manage this transposition of colour from black text to white and, with difficulty, ignore the confusion of the background, why can't it do the lot, all at one sitting? This is not to criticise Text Grabber, after all, it did better than Prizmo, and, indeed, I was delighted to get any results from this most tricky scan, but if it can do it.

RE: Question on Square Card Reader
Hi Karen, Hopefully you will get some helpful replies, but in the meantime I thought I mention that the Square Card Reader has been discussed before and you might find some helpful hints if you do a search in the archives for Square Card or Squarecard (not sure if officially it is spelled in one or 2 words, but people might have done both). It's a pretty unique name so a search should be quite easy to do. There are a few discussions about Square on Applevis, but a quick look seems to indicate that they are mostly forum questions which have some often answers where others offer guesses as to how this might work. I think that a Bluetooth headset might be your best option although it also is an educated guess since I don't have or use the Square card reader.

Re: total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6 users
Hi Jim, yes that is correct. You are not searching for the correct app. I originally mentioned that both Phone GV Extension and SMS GV Extension tweaks are no longer compatible with iOS6. So instead, search for either Call on GV or SMS on GV and you will find the iOS6 compatible ones. Hope that helps. -- Raul A. Gallegos If it came down to it, I don't think I could ever stab someone.

On May 22, 2013, at 5:36 PM, Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: Hi all. As you may or may not know, I'm a Google Voice fan. One of the primary reasons why I jailbreak is to fully integrate Google Voice with my iPhone. This means total integration in making and receiving phone calls as well as texts. I was able to do this fine with jailbroken iOS 4.X and 5.X using 2 tweaks called Phone GV Extension and SMS GV Extension. These allow you to tap on a number anywhere and call like normal, but the call originates from your Google number instead of your real cell number. The sms tweak is the same for making and receiving texts using the regular messages app, meaning that it will come to and from your Google number. All of this was lost in the jailbreak of iOS6 because the developer didn't update those tweaks to work with iOS6. However a couple of weeks ago, a new developer who took over those tweaks released a new tweak called Call on GV. This is the calling portion of the Google voice tweak allowing you to seamlessly make and receive Google voice calls on your phone using the phone app or tapping on a number from anywhere. Today I discovered that he released the SMS on GV tweak, which adds the functionality to sms texting as well. So, this makes my Google Voice experience complete once more on my phone. Please note that without jailbreaking you can still use a Google Voice number with your iPhone, but you will need to do it through an app such as the official and free Google Voice app, or from the highly recommended app called GV Connect. Because it's not a total integration, you have to make phone calls from that app's dialer, and you have to do all your texting from within the app. So, it's not a total loss. However if you are inside another app which wants to send out a text message to share information, it will send it from your real cell number instead of your Google number. This is why jailbreaking is necessary. I hope this helps some of you out there, and please note that this message doesn't mean you should jailbreak. Remember it's not for everyone. It's not illegal, but it does void your warranty. All that being said, my phone is out of warranty, and so I'm fine. -- Raul A.

Re: iPhone 5 and Braille display question.

SIRI showed me the reminder and I tapped on “Yes” to confirm, now every Tuesday morning at 8 I get a reminder saying “Take the Garbage out”. In your case, you would say, using “telephone bill” as an example along with the 18th and 8 AM as the reminder time: Remind me to pay my telephone bill at 8 AM on the 18th of every month I just tried this and SIRI came back and said “Here is your reminder starting on June 18th at 8 AM, Pay my telephone bill”. I find SIRI is by far the easiest and quickest way to set reminders and I never use the Alarmed app any more. I guess it has some features like nagging and setting the reminder to come up a certain time before the actual time you want it and so on, but if I want to be reminded of a 9 AM dentist appointment half an hour early, I just ask SIRI to “Remind me about my 9 o’clock dentist appointment at 8:30 AM”.

Re: OCr of white text on coloured image.
Hi Siegard, (think I forgot how to spell your name there, sorry!) I just tried it several times with Talking Goggles and while it seems that it can read the text quite well, I only get about 5 seconds of speach before it cuts off. So, only time enough for 2 or 5 words, depending. I always feel that this app could be excellent for reading on the fly, but with the restrictions of time etc, it doesn't do much for me. Also, I would love not to have to listen to that voice, wish we could always default to VO if we want. I can understand developers introducing voices for mainstream apps, as people in general aren't using VO, but for apps designed with VO users in mind, I am not sure of the thinking. So, in short, Talking Goggles, for me, is more of a potential than an actuality. Tell me otherwise, show me where I am going wrong and I will try again! Sandy.

Hi, I received a birthday party invitation which is like a post-card. It is shiny, the background is floral and purple (mainly) and the script is white and , in places, swirly,. In other words, not something that we can scan as yet. I tried many times with prizmo, using the StandScan Pro plus lights, then without the lights to try and avoid glare. But Prizmo told me that no text could be found. I then tried it with Text Grabber. I did, at least get results, more often than not and discovered something interesting: each time my results were not complete, but different bits of text were identified! This was strange because, if I had been able to amalgamate all my results, I would have got just about all the info. So, if TG could manage this transposition of colour from black text to white and, with difficulty, ignore the confusion of the background, why can't it do the lot, all at one sitting? This is not to criticise Text Grabber, after all, it did better than Prizmo, and, indeed, I was delighted to get any results from this most tricky scan, but if it can do it.

Re: iTunes with mmusic on a hard drive
Hi Tom, I think that if the new drive has the same drive letter as the old one, iTunes will be able to find your music just fine. If it has a different drive letter, you'll need to delete all the music in your iTunes library and add it again.

RE: OCr of white text on coloured image.
Hi Sandy, You did not too badly with my name, just forgot the h in the middle, it's Sieghard, just think of hard at the end as in I'm such a tough guy *smile* Anyhow, I only have used Talking goggles for packages so far and I find it does an excellent job in many cases and it's fast. It seems to pick up stuff which in many cases tells me enough to know what it is without having to find the barcode. In the most recent update the developer included an option for Voiceover users to turn off the app voice. The settings for Goggles are not in the app, but accessessed via the iPhone Settings app. Just go to Settings and scroll down to the apps section, for me Goggles is right after Twitter and Facebook and before Audible. You have 3 options: Save Captured Image - this is an on/off toggle Speak Out - also an on/off toggle and if it is off, only Voiceover will speak in the app. Performance - this is a button and you can choose Fast, Balanced and Best. I believe Balanced is the default, I just changed it to Best to see what difference it makes. I'll maybe try and do some specific testing using the Standscan just for consistency sake, but I wonder if Prizmo or Text Grabber are able to recognize the writing on some packages since packages often have pictures, coloured text, coloured backgrounds etc. Best regards, Sieghard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sandratomkins Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2013 7:52 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: OCr of white text on coloured image.

RE: NLS Update on Talking Book App
Samantha sort of grows on you, wish she would cut down on the cigarettes, though! Read2go voice, Heather does not bother me that much, except for pauses where pauses don't need to be but I use it often. I have Voice Dream on the phone but honestly I did not notice all that much difference in the voice quality compared to read2go but have to admit I have not used it often. I still wish they would hurry up with the NLS app, for some reason using iBooks, Kindle and Read2go are more difficult to stop when necessary, my earphone don't stop them, just end up starting music or the last audible book I was in. Since I am often away from home, Audible loves me, I generally end up giving them a bit more each month because unless I buy extra credits I am out most of the time. I must say I have read some really good books from there in the past two years, however.

For me the Stream or Booksense both of which I owned at one point also don't have any attraction anymore and instead of spending $300 or $350 or whatever these devices cost nowadays on one of these I'd much rather buy an iPod Touch or iPad Mini as a companion device for my iPhone. But, as I said, a lot of blind people are perfectly happy with a Stream or Booksense and I would imagine it will be quite a while yet before such specialty devices become obsolete. Oh, maybe a Stream or Booksense doesn't have much to do with an iPhone, but I think it's OK to discuss them in the context of services like NLS and I guess if Raul or Cara don't agree they will let us know.

RE: iTunes with mmusic on a hard drive
Hi Tom, Just as one further test, do you have any music that is stored locally on the hard drive of your laptop rather than the external drive? If not, maybe try to copy an album or even just a few songs to your hard drive and play them from there, you can do so by putting them into your My Music folder, then just press enter on them and if iTunes is your default player they should start to play. If you get choppy playback then maybe it's the cable from your computer to the stereo.

RE: help with reminders
I'd put it in the calendar, and for me at least I'd put it in as a recurring appointment using Outlook 2010 and let it sync to the phone. I have an appointment like that for our bottled water delivery dates since I always forgot when I am alone to put them out. I set it up in Outlook first. I would imagine that you could do the same on the phone, but I set this up before I got my iPhone so the message at one time only showed up on the computer and sometimes I did not see it until evening when it was too late.

Re: total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6 users
Great news! Now I just have to wait for the ios7 Jailbreak, and hope it doesn't break this tweak. On May 22, 2013, at 3:36 PM, Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: Hi all. As you may or may not know, I'm a Google Voice fan. One of the primary reasons why I jailbreak is to fully integrate Google Voice with my iPhone. This means total integration in making and receiving phone calls as well as texts. I was able to do this fine with jailbroken iOS 4.X and 5.X using 2 tweaks called Phone GV Extension and SMS GV Extension. These allow you to tap on a number anywhere and call like normal, but the call originates from your Google number instead of your real cell number. The sms tweak is the same for making and receiving texts using the regular messages app, meaning that it will come to and from your Google number. All of this was lost in the jailbreak of iOS6 because the developer didn't update those tweaks to work with iOS6. However a couple of weeks ago, a new developer who took over those tweaks released a new tweak called Call on GV. This is the calling portion of the Google voice tweak allowing you to seamlessly make and receive Google voice calls on your phone using the phone app or tapping on a number from anywhere. Today I discovered that he released the SMS on GV tweak, which adds the functionality to sms texting as well. So, this makes my Google Voice experience complete once more on my phone. Please note that without jailbreaking you can still use a Google Voice number with your iPhone, but you will need to do it through an app such as the official and free Google Voice app, or from the highly recommended app called GV Connect. Because it's not a total integration, you have to make phone calls from that app's dialer, and you have to do all your texting from within the app. So, it's not a total loss. However if you are inside another app which wants to send out a text message to share information, it will send it from your real cell number instead of your Google number. This is why jailbreaking is necessary. I hope this helps some of you out there, and please note that this message doesn't mean you should jailbreak. Remember it's not for everyone. It's not illegal, but it does void your warranty. All that being said, my phone is out of warranty, and so I'm fine. -- Raul A.

Re: iPhone 5 and Braille display question.
Check out the Braille Edge from HIMS. The only advantage it has over some others is the built in notepad function. If you want to be able to jot something down without being connected to your iPhone, it is worth the extra 200 dollars over the Focus. If having the notepad feature isn't important to you, then I'd go with the Focus 40.

Re: OCr of white text on coloured image.
Hi, After you have taken the picture in the Create New Document screen, Double tap on the Page 1 of 1, for example. Instead of hitting recognize in the upper right corner, check along the bottom of the screen and the fourth button is Readability. Double tap it and you will find a couple options along the bottom of the screen, black, which is selected, white, then a picker item called readability which is on 50 percent. I don't have something to test on, but once you select the White button, the apply button in the upper right becomes active.

Re: weird iPad swipe gesture issue
Raul, The only time I've had a similar issue on my Mini is when it has not detected the change from landscape to portrait mode or visa versa. If the iPad is flat on a table or on your lap for example and you have it in landscape mode then you turn it to portrait mode, the switch isn't detected. I sometime have to give the Mini a tilt forward for the switch in orientation to be detected. Best, Rick alfaro On 5/22/2013 8:24 AM, Raul A. Gallegos wrote: Hi all. I've been playing more and more with the iPad mini this week and have come across some strange issues which I'm hoping are not cause for worry. This has to do with swiping. Many times if I want to see what is all on the screen I will just touch the various parts of the screen, just like I do on the iPhone. However I sometimes like to left/right swipe and this isn't seeming to be consistent on the iPad. So, I'm wondering if this is normal due to the different layouts, or if I might have a problem with mine. What happens for example if I'm toward the top of the screen and I swipe right over and over I would expect to go across the installed app icons to the right until the next line is reached, however many times when I swipe, I find that the selection has moved elsewhere. Either toward the middle of the screen, or even sometimes in the dock. The same is true if I'm inside an app like settings. I will select a category, like General on the left, and then touch the right side of the screen, then swipe right over and over, yet the information isn't read consistently like I think it should when you swipe right. I figured that maybe it's me who was messing up the swipe and maybe was swiping diagonal since it's a larger screen. However I've tested this by swiping left to right across the keyboard dots from the speed dots protector I've installed. And if the iPad has been in landscape mode, I've swiped left to right across the bottom of the screen. I have no problems swiping on the iPhone, and so I don't think I'm accidentally touching part of the screen before my swipe. I've been careful not to do that when testing this. Ideas are welcome, and if there is something I don't know about the iPad navigation, that too, will be helpful. I don't know if this has to do with containers, or some other form of navigation, but so far it's proving to be a bit more tedious than with the iPhone. -- Raul A. Gallegos I love strawberry Quik.

Re: . Accessible App. Free. Words Inside
MessageYes, the letters are dimmed, but when you double tap on a letter it is creating your word. To find out what letters you have put into making a word, go to the top of the screen and flick until you hear VoiceOver say Played Words button. Flick once more and that is where your word is being formed. Or you can find the beginning letter of the word you are working with, say you are working with Black Bear, find the first letter of Black and then flick once to the left to see where your word is being formed. Each time you double tap on a letter, the letter will show up there. If you make a mistake, simply double tap on the letter in the word to remove it. So say in the word Black Bear you typed the letter b, then the letter K, but you meant to double tap on the letter A, simply double tap on the letter K again in the word black to remove it. I hope this helps. From: Thom Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2013 1:10 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: . Accessible App. Free.

Prizmo with light text on a dark background
I found a couple flyers at our office that had light text on a dark background. One was a flyer on the NFB. It is folded into four sections. The front section is white text on a blue background. When I used the readability setting and selected white text, this is what I got: What is the National Federation of the Blind which is all that section says. There was another flyer about emergency preparedness that had both dark text on a light background and white text on a gold background. The colors were not sharp and the shading was graduated but when I selected the white text option, I got enough to know that it said: Prepare Protect Yourself. There were a few bad letters, but it definitely works. HTH, Richard (Sent from Richard's iPod Touch 5th gen) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: . Accessible App. Free. Words Inside
MessageHi Tom, This is a flaw in the game. With VO, it always announces that the letters are dimmed. It is possible for a blind person to play though. The chosen letters will be displayed just above the list of letters that you are makeing your selection from to make a new word. If you have trouble finding the area, if you swipe from left to right you will hear something like, found 0/182, there will be a button in which you an tap on to reveal the played words, if you continue to swipe left to right the next field will be where your choice of letters are being added and just after this is the grid in which the letters that you are choosing from is. I haven't found a way to clear a word if it isn't actually a word, except for going back and tapping on each letter in the word grid to clear it. The instructions to the game mentions something about using the scrub gesture to clear an incorrect word, but I haven't been able to get this to work. I hope this made sense and was of help. Donna We installed this app. There is a layout of letters, but no matter how many times we hit one, it says dimmed.

You'll be waiting a long time, iOS 6 was released mid September and the first jailbreak came out I think in January if I remember correctly. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kliphton A M Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2013 9:16 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6 users Great news!

As you may or may not know, I'm a Google Voice fan. One of the primary reasons why I jailbreak is to fully integrate Google Voice with my iPhone. This means total integration in making and receiving phone calls as well as texts. I was able to do this fine with jailbroken iOS 4.X and 5.X using 2 tweaks called Phone GV Extension and SMS GV Extension. These allow you to tap on a number anywhere and call like normal, but the call originates from your Google number instead of your real cell number. The sms tweak is the same for making and receiving texts using the regular messages app, meaning that it will come to and from your Google number. All of this was lost in the jailbreak of iOS6 because the developer didn't update those tweaks to work with iOS6. However a couple of weeks ago, a new developer who took over those tweaks released a new tweak called Call on GV. This is the calling portion of the Google voice tweak allowing you to seamlessly make and receive Google voice calls on your phone using the phone app or tapping on a number from anywhere. Today I discovered that he released the SMS on GV tweak, which adds the functionality to sms texting as well. So, this makes my Google Voice experience complete once more on my phone. Please note that without jailbreaking you can still use a Google Voice number with your iPhone, but you will need to do it through an app such as the official and free Google Voice app, or from the highly recommended app called GV Connect. Because it's not a total integration, you have to make phone calls from that app's dialer, and you have to do all your texting from within the app. So, it's not a total loss. However if you are inside another app which wants to send out a text message to share information, it will send it from your real cell number instead of your Google number. This is why jailbreaking is necessary. I hope this helps some of you out there, and please note that this message doesn't mean you should jailbreak. Remember it's not for everyone. It's not illegal, but it does void your warranty. All that being said, my phone is out of warranty, and so I'm fine. -- Raul A.

RE: total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6 users
Anyone who is part of the jailbreak community knows it's a long wait, this ain't my first dance with IOS and jail breaking. I have had every iPhone since the 4, so I know it will probably be October or November. On the upside, the jailbreak team is already geared up to work on IOS 7 since they have a dev account, and get the beta's when they are released. So save your sarcasm for someone who doesn't know, I'm no rooky.

RE: Plantronics am 55 Bluetooth
Thanks all for the references to the manual. My Google searches sure did not come up with these. I wonder if I get different results using the IPhone than on the PC. Anyway, a brief review of this device. So far as I can tell, it will not control music which I think was how this topic got started to begin with. I have not yet registered for the Vocalist service, so I don't know what all that will enable. But otherwise, all it does is answer or ignore calls, redial the last call or start Siri. I must say that Siri has been excellent so far, and that is usually the downfall of bluetooth. This thing is small and light. It is the size of my little finger. It has a loop on the earpiece that is supposed to fit it in your ear but they did not give different sizes and it feels a bit big for my ear. It also has a hook to secure behind your ear. I would say for the money it is a very good device. If you don't require the remote control to start/stop and skip through music, the size and weight and sound and microphone quality are excellent. Again, thanks for the help. Eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: iPhone 5 and Braille display question.
Hi, Many of us will tell you our preference. Personally I find that a bit meaningless. Cells and controls that feel nice to me may not be at all comfortable to you. I strongly suggest you try to feel a few braille displays and decide for yourself which feel good to you and which don't. Not an easy task, but considering what you're paying it would be worth your while hunting for some demo units. The new brailliant BI and Brailleedge devices are real workhorses. The old focus blue was alright although I am not a fan of the focus control surface or cells myself. I've only trained on one new focus blue for a client and the dots failed last month. Can't go by one in all fairness but for the price i'm keeping an eye out to see if I notice a trend. Avoid the alva bc640. They are incredibly breakable I've had four or 6 of them fail on clients in the last three years or so. In fact, they were all the rage here when they were the only modern thing to be funded, but as soon as you could get a focus blue or a brailliant BI, no one here would authorize them any more and the number of alvas I see has dropped right off the bottom of the map.

Re: iPhone 5 and Braille display question.
Hi Cait, Focus bue should be alright on a mac if you use that platform. It works on window-eyes but with very limitted functionality. If using window-eyes you would be better off with a brailliant BI or a Braille Edge. If using NVDA, it has native support for focus blue and brailliant BI, but I don't know about the brailleedge. If you have specific questions about compatibility you can email me off list and I'll find out.

bar code scanner
Hi, We use a web based application at work called Destiny. Items get scanned in and out using a usb scanner. There is now a mobile version of this program. I was wondering if anyone knew of a bar code scanner that would run in the background and interface with the program like the usb scanners do?

Re: Plantronics M50 and Siri?
I can't say that it works with 100%, I notice it does not work with sound hound, but no headset I have had has worked with it, so far it seems to work with everything else. This is a really nice headset. It is comfortable, allows some sound in, so I can hear traffic, it says when the power is on or off and whether it is connected. And the battery level is on the iPhone's screen next to the phone's battery level. I got mine from Amazon... $30 with free super saver shipping.

More than one shuffle button on the phone?
I recently complained on this list that my husband's iPod was not playing albums in order. Eventually my iPhone wasn't either. I called Apple Care about this and although the problem has been fixed I am still baffled by the man's explanation. According to the rep there is not one, but two shuffle buttons on the phone. He described the one he wanted me to change as a crisscross f arrows that changes colors when it is tapped. Fortunately, my sighted husband was here and he found it and tapped it until it was the requisite white, which means off. Orange means shuffle. The weird part is, not only was the music on my phone instantly straighten out, but so was the music on his iPod. It is as if there are two buttons: the one you tap just to shuffle an album or play list and this master switch that shuffle the entire world. Does anybody understand what I am talking about? Now I am afraid to shuffle a play list for fear I'll inadvertently trip this master switch again. Sandy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: OT, The Best Of Both Worlds, IOS/Droid.
Hello! Yes, in the android phones, it is something called, talkback. You have to go to settings, my devices, accessibility, and talk back on and then hit ok. You will need sighted help. I don't know if there is a tripple click home system, though. But yes, the screenreader is called talkback. It is kind of like voiceover. It's a little confusing to me, at least, don't know how other people feel. I just like vo performance to be simpler. But of course, it is your decision and you can use it with talkback and see if you like it or not. I am afraid, I don't want to have to start this thread being in to a talkback conversation as this is manily for iPhones, but I just wanted to answer your question when you said equivalent to voiceover.

Re: OT, The Best Of Both Worlds, IOS/Droid.
Just as with the iPhone, you don't need sighted assistance to start Talk Back on an Android phone running Android 4.0 or later. With Android 4.1 or later, instead of the triple click home option to toggle VoiceOver on, you place two fingers on the screen and leave them there for a few beats to activate Talk Back. Since this is a iPhone list, it's probably best to take Android and Talk Back questions to another list. I just wanted to try to change the misconception that you needed sighted assistance to start Talk Back on your Android 4.0 or later phone. On 05/23/2013 08:49 PM, Nimit Kaur wrote: Hello!

RE: More than one shuffle button on the phone?
Hi Sandy, If you have Albums selected and go into a particular album, for example, let's say I double tap on Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits, there is a Shuffle button right at the top above the listing of songs. If you double tap on that, the songs in that album will play randomly. The same goes for Playlists, Artists, Songs or any other view, there is always a Shuffle button at the top of the list and it will play a random selection but it will not stay switched on permanently. Now, if you are playing a song and double tap on the Album Art button it reveals a Repeat All button and a Shuffle button. If you double tap on that Shuffle button, it will say Selected and it will stay selected until you double tap it again and turn it off. As long as it is selected, your music will shuffle no matter what you play. You can always use the Shuffle button at the top of an album, playlist or if you select artist and All Songs then you also have it there. This will shuffle, but if you Pause and select another album and double tap the first song instead of Shuffle it will then play the songs in order starting with the first one. If things seem to be mixed up again, just start playing a song and make sure the Shuffle button one swipe to the right of Repeat All doesn't say Selected.

Thank you for correcting me. No, I didn't mean to start the thread in that direction. I was just answering one of the people's question who asked if there is anything similar to voiceover in android platform. Thank you.

With Android 4.1 or later, instead of the triple click home option to toggle VoiceOver on, you place two fingers on the screen and leave them there for a few beats to activate Talk Back. Since this is a iPhone list, it's probably best to take Android and Talk Back questions to another list. I just wanted to try to change the misconception that you needed sighted assistance to start Talk Back on your Android 4.0 or later phone. On 05/23/2013 08:49 PM, Nimit Kaur wrote: Hello! Yes, in the android phones, it is something called, talkback. You have to go to settings, my devices, accessibility, and talk back on and then hit ok. You will need sighted help. I don't know if there is a tripple click home system, though. But yes, the screenreader is called talkback. It is kind of like voiceover. It's a little confusing to me, at least, don't know how other people feel. I just like vo performance to be simpler. But of course, it is your decision and you can use it with talkback and see if you like it or not. I am afraid, I don't want to have to start this thread being in to a talkback conversation as this is manily for iPhones, but I just wanted to answer your question when you said equivalent to voiceover. Thank you. On 5/23/13, Steve Sweeney n4o...@gmail.com wrote: Is there a good equivalent to Voiceover?

Hi, if you want to ease your way into Android, why not buy a tablet? For example, the nexus 7? Its relatively cheap, starting at $200, and you won't have any monthly recurring bills like with a phone. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On May 22, 2013, at 10:28 AM, Anthony Vece ajv...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Everyone; I am well submerged into the Ios6 platform.

Re: Kindle Personal Document Services
Hi, Chris. It turns out you need to tell kindle document services which email addresses are allowed to send documents. I had never added my address. Now that I have added my address I should be able to send documents from that address. Thanks.

It doesn't seem to work for me. Is convert written in all caps or with the first letter capitalize? I tried sending a text file with convert written in lower case in the subject and with the text file attached. It never showed up. I have to use my wife's kindle address as she is the one who has the amazon and audible accounts tied together in her name. Any ideas why this isn't working for me?

I was able to get documents to finally sync to my Kindle account, bhut the few I setn to be converted with convert as the subject heading never came through. I think they somehow were lost in cyberspace. It is just the word convert without quotes, correct? Thank you for helping people on list with this, I love the Kindle app, especially as a braille user. Cheers, Scott On 5/14/13, Esther mori...@mac.com wrote: Hi Scott, My mailed documents took about 2 minutes to show up in the Kindle app, except for one that I tried to convert that was an invalid document type. In that case, when I checked my email, there was a notice that the conversion had failed. The documents show up in your Docs library, so they'll be displayed if the screen heading is All Items or Docs on your Kindle home page. You can switch libraries by double tapping the button for the library, which is the first item on your library screen -- at the top center of the screen, just below the time on the status menu bar. If you add documents, or if you decide to use the Newsstand to subscribe to magazines or journals, you'll probably find it more convenient to navigate to separate libraries on your device, instead of having everything mixed together. Either touch the button for your library in the heading area at the top center of the screen, or navigate there with a four finger tap in the top half of the screen, and then double tap. On the Libraries screen you can flick through the list (All Items, Books, Newsstand, or Docs) and double tap to select. You can also use the search option from this screen to find books or documents. When I tested sending documents for the first time, I switched my selected library to Docs. The top of the Docs library screen also lists your personal Kindle email address associated with this device at the top of the screen. VoiceOver says send documents to user id AT kindle.com. If you want to force the screen to refresh, you can do a double tap and hold on the email address and then, without lifting your finger from the screen, pull vertically down, and then release. You'll hear VoiceOver say sync finished. However, I didn't need to force the sync in order to find the document I emailed. I didn't try any fancy browser or program add-ons when sending the trial documents. I just created an email with an attached document in the normal way (e.g., on a Mac you can either just do a Command-C to copy a file in Finder, and a Command-V to paste it into an email, or you can select one or multiple files, and then use a service menu option to create a New email with selection. I just typed in the email address, especially since I wanted to make sure that both the regular email and the variant using free.kindle.com instead of kindle.com would work. I started with short files of the different listed valid file types, since I wanted to check how these worked before sending long files. This was how I found out that highlighting and notes don't work if you send a document file and don't use the convert option. You also won't be able to get table of contents navigation unless you send a file in
