Re: iPhone 5 and Braille display question.
Hello Scott, What is the difference between Focus 40 blue and Braille edge in terms of their functions as braille displays exclusively for iPhone? In other words, What gives the Focus 40 blue precedence over the Braille Edge as a preferred braille display for the iPhone? This is very 9interesting for me to know in order to transfer this knowledge to people in my area about the proper braille display to choose for those interested in using their iPhone with a braille display. Thanks a million. Best Regards Ahmed Khater aakha...@gmail.com It's always hope that gives meaning to life Scott Davert scottslistm...@gmail.com May 24 02:17PM -0400 Hello. As others have said, it depends on what exactly you want the display to do and what functionality is important to you. If having something exclusively for the iPhone is all you're looking for, certainly I'd say the Focus 40 Blue may be the way to go. But if you want to be able to read books without having to connect to your phone, or if you want to have any internal functionality, the Edge will probably be your best bet. Also, HIMS will soon be releasing an update to the Edge, which will incorperate some cool new functionality that I don't think I'm permited to talk about publicly.

Some will tell you that the latest generation of Apple Earpods sound almost as good. I just purchased an iPhone 5 a few days ago and have not yet tried the Earpods that come with it. I can tell you that the MIE2i headset is very comfortable. There are three sets of tips provided: medium (which comes mounted already), small, and large. The medium-sized tips fit my ears well, so I haven't tried swapping the tips out. They don't penetrate deeply into the ear canal and thus can be worn a long time without ear fatigue. If you like a flat audio response, as I do, you'll likely be pleased with theMIE2i product. Classical music sounds quite natural with no trace of artificial boominess or peakiness. The microphone's sound quality isn't particularly distinguished, but it will suffice. I haven't used it in compromised situations, such as a windy or noisy environment. The headset is A2DP compatible, so all of the remote gestures work, such as track selection, start and stop audio, etc. Craig On 5/20/13, Alan Lemly wale...@gmail.com wrote: Amazon has some of the Bose headsets at 10% off through June 22nd.

Re: Info wanted on Lightning adaptors
You can do this quite easily. If you have a lightning to 30 pin adapter then you can use that to connect an audio/video cable to the iPhone 5. I don't know if they make an iPhone 5 version of the cable yet but you can do it quite successfully with the iphone 4 cable. These cables usually have RCA plugs at the end, two for left and right audio and the rest for video. Works like a charm. The only thing I don't like about doing it that way is that voiceover comes through your stereo which at times can be quite annoying. I decided after doing it that way for a while to get an airport express instead and using airplay and the airport express d2a converter with its 3.5 mil female audio out jack just plugged the airport exprress in to my stereo. It works fantasticly well and now voiceover only comes through my phone and I am not tethered to a cable at all so can be anywhere in the apratment and control the aduio streams.

ICloud backups
Hi all, I am in the process of using ICloud and restoring my iphone 4 to use in a couple of months when I go overseas. I checked the ICloud settings and it appears everything is turned on to be backed up, accept notes and mail. Does this mean my notes and mail won't be backed up to ICloud and I'll have to manually set up my gmail and bigpond accounts again on the iphone 4? And I'm guessing that is if I leave mail off. If I turn it on then all mail settings and accounts will be backed up and able to be restored to iphone. Also, after my settings were restored, the iphone said it would automatically restore my apps. What if I don't want certain apps, what if I just want the ICloud back up for my contacts, mail and settings, but only want to put certain apps on my 4?

RE: Listening to Voiceover
Bryce, your colleague was way out of line. I just asked my sighted husband about it and he made the following observation Sighted people are seen constantly holding the phone up to one ear while using the other hand to write with a pen. Maybe they are taking notes on the phone call; maybe writing a grocery list. Why would what you are doing look any weirder? My personal preference is to plug in the iPhone ear buds and put one in one ear and listen to what I am typing. Butt's not because of appearance, it's because of preference.

In any case, whether it is or isn't is in my opinion beyond the point, you do what you have to do.

You touch on the reason I started this; the whole holding the phone up close to the ear and tapping away. This is what I've naturally preferred, but a colleague pointed out how weird and unprofessional it looks. It's not something I had thought about before and I was kind of caught off guard. It does make sense how odd it probably looks to hold a phone up chest level or next to your cheek or ear and type, though. I do not have hearing problems at all. Still, at least for me, I've got to have the voice near my ear when typing because when using touch typing it can be difficult to really hear Samantha in a lot of environments without turning the volume up. These are the only times I wish the iPhone had a physical keyboard. Finally, the speakers on the iPhone 4s are kind of bad, anyway. When I was using a Mophie Battery Juice case the speakers faced up which made the sound clearer. Just some observations. Brice On 5/25/13, Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: Hi, to add to this discussion what I do is use a single-ear headset like the Plantronics M50. I just recently purchased the Samsung HM1700 and am liking the volume on it better than the M50, but I haven't found a comfortable fit for it yet. So, still on the fence about that one. I find that the single-ear headset is good for me because I can pull it out right away if I need total hearing with both ears, but at the same time it's not jammed in my ear totally covering it in case I need it either. For phone calls the M50 sucks in my opinion, but for all the other pros it offers I still think it's the best single-ear headset. If I need something covering both of my ears I will either use the Motorola S11 headset which wraps around the back of your neck, has great range, and has great sound with playing music in both ears. It has a slightly annoying delay which I'm not too proud of, but all Bluetooth headsets have this delay. Some are just worse than others though. The M50 and the HM1700 are ok, but the S11 isn't the best. I try to avoid using wired connections because I like all that radiation flowing through my skull and because since we are all going to die some day, why not die cord free and happy? I don't have Apple earpods, and I'm not sure if I will get them since I have a bit of choice of things already. yes it's more to charge, but I also have a 3-in-1 charger usb cable with the standard usb end on one side which plugs into a usb charger wall plug on one end, and the other end has either a 30-pin for iPhone 4, and then it has a lightning plug for iPhone 5 and newer, and lastly, a Micro USB for the headsets or an Android phone. Since I usually carry around a extra battery pack from new Trent which holds either 6000 or 12,000 mAH depending on the one I use, I'm good with not running out of juice if I'm around places I can't connect to a wall. Lastly, if I don't have all my gadgets with me, I will hold the phone close to my ear like I'm making a phone call and tap away that way. We live in a sighted world and so I try to not appear to be socially inept, however many sighted people do worse things, and we just don't know about them because we can't see them. So, that helps me

Re: Prizmo and taking pictures.
Hi Annie, You could turn off Page identification, or whatever it is called but it is just as easy to ignore the up down etc and move straight to take picture. I do now find that the guitar sounds are useful and, visually, the screen is busy getting a good focus/fix on the text and doesn't take the shot until at least some text had been identified. I do still miss the possibility of using a voice command to take the shot, not because of the tapping interferring, as people have said, the app allows time for focusing, but sometimes both free-hand and using the SSP, I need both hands to control the pages of a book.

Re: Prizmo and images.
Hi again Annie, I don't know the answer to your question with regard to prizmo bombing out/crashing, but have you updated it this week? I thik I remember 2 updates very recently and one of them specifically mentioned your crashing issue. As for the best size to choose for using the SSP, At the moment I have mine set to the default, i think it was anyway, which is A4, but the base o the SSP is bigger than that, so I might go to the next size up and see if it better at getting the top and bottom of my text. Whaty I really am replying to is your statement that you have Prizmoed an entire book! Did you do this using the SSP and your phone? If so, how well did it do?Was it consistent? Did it take long, comparing it with using a PC/Mac? What really is pleasing me is that now we are all talking about such endeavours, and how much we have moved away from that situation whereby, for the majority of us, scanning, using the phone to scan was simply an impossibility. I too have scanned a folder of documents, in my case, using Text Grabber and relying upon the History tab to access them, so, not only are we getting some real access to literature on the cheap, but we also have choices! per ardua ad astra!

Re: sending sendspace files to dropbox on iphone
No you don't need an app to do this. You may need a send space account but I do it regularly and it does not require a separate app. What you do is touch the download link and you will then be presented with a message asking if you want to open it in drop box.

Re: Prizmo and images.
Hi Sandra. I have tried with some single pages, and I get really great results with finereader 11 for windows and images taken with standscan and my phone. I got really happy when I figured out prizmo could make high quality images in multipage PDF, sad that it doesn't work. I have upgraded and reinstalled prizmo, I have also contacted them, they need a bug report sadly I do not get a crash report when I reopen prizmo. It is really quick to scan a book in prizmo, it took me about half an hour to scan 200 dobble pages, about 400 book pages. Unfortunately I can not get the image out of prizmo, can I do that manually in some ways. I have tried to recognize the book with prizmo it gets rather good, but there are a few bugs, I testet with some difficult pages and finereader will recognize them corectly. It is an easy process to scan a book with standscan, you do not have to move the book at all only go to the next page, my hands love that they will not have to lift the book all the time.

Fwd: [AppleVis Newsletter] Announcing our New Campaign of the Month; Spotify
Origineel bericht Onderwerp: [AppleVis Newsletter] Announcing our New Campaign of the Month; Spotify Datum: Thu, 23 May 2013 07:33:21 -0400 Van:The AppleVis Editorial Team newslet...@applevis.com Aan:anouk85 radix.an...@gmail.com Hello from the Team at AppleVis. We wanted to let you know about our latest Campaign of the Month, which features the popular music streaming service, Spotify. Spotify offers a range of subscription options (both free and paid) on desktop and mobile platforms. The good news is that their iOS app http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/music/spotify is mostly accessible. The bad news is that using their streaming service on a mobile device requires a Premium subscription at a cost of $9.99 per month! If you're outside of the USA, the cost might be even higher - for example, the UK price is £9.99, which roughly converts to $15 at current exchange rates! The news gets even worse for blind and low vision users, when you find out that iOS is currently the only available option that comes close to being fully accessible - Spotify's Mac app is mostly inaccessible and their web player has a number of significant issues when used with a screen reader. As a result, using Spotify's free or lower priced accounts on your Mac are not a viable option for those of us who rely on screen readers. If you want to use Spotify, it's essentially on your iOS device or nothing ... and that's going to cost you a premium! You can read more about the accessibility problems here http://www.applevis.com/forum/ios-ios-app-discussion/spotify-accessibility. We are asking that you support our latest campaign and urge Spotify to provide blind and low vision users with fair and equal access by ensuring that their service is accessible on all supported platforms, and that they do so as a matter of some urgency. Not only would this be a good commercial decision, but it would also simply be the 'right' thing for them to do. Simply submit this pre-filled form http://www.applevis.com/campaign/spotify to have your request mailed directly to Spotify. Please note that you will need to be registered and logged-in to the AppleVis website to access and use this form. As always, the more people who support our campaign, the more likely it is that Spotify will listen. So, do please spare the few moments that it takes to add your support. For more information on this and past campaigns, please visit the main Campaign of the Month page http://www.applevis.com/campaign. On that page, you will also be able to nominate apps for future campaigns. We thank you for your support.

Re: Prizmo and images.
Hi Annie, The only thing I can think of is that the phone may not be able to handle that much at once. Also, do you have it using iCloud? I wonder if that takes more of the phone's resources. Do you have the logging set to on under settings, diagnosis and usage? That might help it send automatic reports to the developer. Unless the images are stored in a way that you could use file sharing with iTunes, I can't think of another way to get them off the phone. I think I will try a book myself and see what happens.

Hi Richard. I also thought of that, but it is the same for me with fewer pages. I can easily recognize all the book with prizmo, but I would like to use the images in finereader 11, it really uses prizmos images very beautiful.

Hi Sandra. I forgot to mention, that I use my braille display for pressing the camera button, so I will not have to touch my phone, and will therefore not move it at any time during the process.

Re: ICloud backups
Andrew if you turn on Notes and Mail you will be asked to set up an icloud.com mail address. So no you can't backup notes and mail to iCloud unless you have an icloud.com mail address.

Does this mean my notes and mail won't be backed up to ICloud and I'll have to manually set up my gmail and bigpond accounts again on the iphone 4? And I'm guessing that is if I leave mail off. If I turn it on then all mail settings and accounts will be backed up and able to be restored to iphone. Also, after my settings were restored, the iphone said it would automatically restore my apps. What if I don't want certain apps, what if I just want the ICloud back up for my contacts, mail and settings, but only want to put certain apps on my 4?

Re: Prizmo and taking pictures.
Hi Sandra. I see your point with the Voice command, that would make things easier when holding the book in place with 2 hands. I never got the voice function to work in the previous version of prizmo. Cheers Annie.

I do now find that the guitar sounds are useful and, visually, the screen is busy getting a good focus/fix on the text and doesn't take the shot until at least some text had been identified. I do still miss the possibility of using a voice command to take the shot, not because of the tapping interferring, as people have said, the app allows time for focusing, but sometimes both free-hand and using the SSP, I need both hands to control the pages of a book.

Re: Making Your Home a Place on FourSquare
Tina, the first thing you do is bring up foursquare, double tap on check in, double tap on search, type in the address, swipe to the right until you see add this place then you will see the address again.

Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App
When I signed on to the BARD site on Friday there was a little questionnaire about the NLS app for the android and iPhone. Maybe they are finally getting around to it.

That wasn't good enough though for them, They then had to go from 2 track to 4 tracks and then they went a step farther and cut playback speed in half. They said quality wouldn't suffer but they were wrong. It did. The best thing to happen to talking books was they went digital. Sound quality went up greatly if you were listening to a new recording but then trouble struck again with budget cuts. Far fewer new books were being recorded and they started emptying out the tape libraries and digitizing those along with some restorazations of older books on record. Still, the best sounding recordings come from new books being recording for the first time. - Original Message - From: Chuck Dean To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2013 9:19 AM Subject: Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App Hi Joe, While I am looking forward to the IOS app, there is something about using the talking book machine supplied by NLS that is comforting.

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.

RE: U-verse? - Re: Question rest Options
Hello Karen, Here is what I can tell you about the U-Verse in regarding to apps that they offer for the iPhone/iPad. U-verse http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/utilities/u-verse As you read from the review for this particular app. This is the one where you could watch a selected few shows straight from your device. Unfortunately, it is not very accessible. I have tried this myself and was only merely disappointed. However, there is another app that U-verse puts out and it works very well. U-verse Easy Remote http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/entertainment/u-verse-easy-remote If you go to this page. I have done a podcast on it for you to listen for yourself. This app does a great job letting you know what is on. Easily change channels and many other things. I really love this app very much. As for the Internet that they provide. I have been very happy with the service. I came from being a past time DSL, Time Warner Roadrunner, and trying other providers. This has been the most reliable for me. It does not share the bandwidth with other people like RoadRunner did. You have your own dedicated speed and I've seen it remain at that speed I bought every time I've tested it. So the U-verse has it Pros and Cons just like any other providers. I don't require much and for watching television with my Easy Remote. I'm a pretty happy camper. So you take the time to review the two app link that I have given you so that you can make that decision for yourself.

New Book: iOS Access for All
Greetings, everyone, I wanted to let you all know about a project I'm working on. I am writing a book about iOS accessibility, called iOS Access for All, Your Comprehensive Guide to Accessibility for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. I'm writing about all accessibility tools in iOS, including VoiceOver, the low vision tools, Sir/voice input, guided access, assistive touch, and features designed for hearing impaired users. I've been writing about technology and the Mac for more than 25 years, and this will be my 13th book. iOS Access for All focuses on teaching you how to use iOS, if you're new, and how to get the most from it if you're not. There will also be a chapter featuring the best third-party apps. I want to include apps that are designed to enhance accessibility, as well as great apps in all categories that happen to do accessibility right. And the app chapter is why I'm writing to this group, even before the book is published. I have reviewed hundreds of software products over the years, but I know that everyone who uses iOS has a different set of favorite apps. I'm looking for feedback about the apps you love and why, and which ones you think blind folks and other iOS users need to know about. It's a big topic. I have started discussions of different app categories on my site, on Facebook, and on Google Plus. Links are below. Please follow the book on your favorite social network, and help me kickstart the conversation there. So far, I've posted about games and navigation apps. I plan to roll out more discussions during the next few weeks, covering productivity, news/information, entertainment, reading, lifestyle, and accessibility apps.

Can Apple TV Pull Content From a NAS
Hi All, Does anyone know, can an Apple TV pull content from a NAS on a local network? Either by providing the Apple TV in some manner the IP address, folder share and user credentials of the share so that it can scan the folder, or, by enabling iTunes Server which is a feature of my NAS. iTunes Server is not the same as Home Sharing as found in iTunes the application. Any thoughts much appriciated… Essentually what I want to do is use something like Apple TV to stream content from a share on my NAS rather than having to push to it from iTunes or an iOS device. thanks.

Bose Head phones
Hi All, I have had quite a few people write me privately asking for the model number of my Bose over the ear head phones. These phones cover the ear and help deaden outside noises. These are strictly for listening to music and they have no Microphone. Bose says this is their best ear phones made specially for MP3 128 KBS MP3 files played back on an iPhone. On the left ear cup is a short thick wire a few inches long ending in a male 3.5 Mm plug. The phones come with 2 cables. A long cable and a short one. Each cable has a male and female 3.5 connector on both ends and can be joined together to form an even longer cable. I can't say enough about these head phones for listening to music. You can go into settings and then music and use the E-Q settings if you like but personally, I find that I like them best with the E-Q turned off. I've owned these phones for several years now. They come in a zippered case. As I said, they are made for portables like iPhone so you would want something to carry them around in. Care should be taken with the cords as they are thin to keep the weight down. I also have an iPod Nano fifth generation 16 GB music player that has a built in FM radio. When I'm listening to the radio with these phones the cord becomes the antenna and I get very good reception. I apologize for taking over a week to find the information and then waiting for my wife to look in the manual but I'm sure you all know what that's like waiting for sighted assistance. grin Here's the straight skinny on my phones. Bose Quiet Comfort QC3. Price Paid at Target, $200. Regards, Alan Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents? Act now! Move out. Get a job.

You touch on the reason I started this; the whole holding the phone up close to the ear and tapping away. This is what I've naturally preferred, but a colleague pointed out how weird and unprofessional it looks. It's not something I had thought about before and I was kind of caught off guard. It does make sense how odd it probably looks to hold a phone up chest level or next to your cheek or ear and type, though. I do not have hearing problems at all. Still, at least for me, I've got to have the voice near my ear when typing because when using touch typing it can be difficult to really hear Samantha in a lot of environments without turning the volume up. These are the only times I wish the iPhone had a physical keyboard. Finally, the speakers on the iPhone 4s are kind of bad, anyway. When I was using a Mophie Battery Juice case the speakers faced up which made the sound clearer. Just some observations. Brice On 5/25/13, Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: Hi, to add to this discussion what I do is use a single-ear headset like the Plantronics M50. I just recently purchased the Samsung HM1700 and am liking the volume on it better than the M50, but I haven't found a comfortable fit for it yet. So, still on the fence about that one. I find that the single-ear headset is good for me because I can pull it out right away if I need total hearing with both ears, but at the same time it's not jammed in my ear totally covering it in case I need it either. For phone calls the M50 sucks in my opinion, but for all the other pros it offers I still think it's the best single-ear headset. If I need something covering both of my ears I will either use the Motorola S11 headset which wraps around the back of your neck, has great range, and has great sound with playing music in both ears. It has a slightly annoying delay which I'm not too proud of, but all Bluetooth headsets have this delay. Some are just worse than others though. The M50 and the HM1700 are ok, but the S11 isn't the best. I try to avoid using wired connections because I like all that radiation flowing through my skull and because since we are all going to die some day, why not die cord free and happy? I don't have Apple earpods, and I'm not sure if I will get them since I have a bit of choice of things already. yes it's more to charge, but I also have a 3-in-1 charger usb cable with the standard usb end on one side which plugs into a usb charger wall plug on one end, and the other end has either a 30-pin for iPhone 4, and then it has a lightning plug for iPhone 5 and newer, and lastly, a Micro USB for the headsets or an Android phone. Since I usually carry around a extra battery pack from new Trent which holds either 6000 or 12,000 mAH depending on the one I use, I'm good with not running out of juice if I'm around

This is what I've naturally preferred, but a colleague pointed out how weird and unprofessional it looks. It's not something I had thought about before and I was kind of caught off guard. It does make sense how odd it probably looks to hold a phone up chest level or next to your cheek or ear and type, though. I do not have hearing problems at all. Still, at least for me, I've got to have the voice near my ear when typing because when using touch typing it can be difficult to really hear Samantha in a lot of environments without turning the volume up. These are the only times I wish the iPhone had a physical keyboard. Finally, the speakers on the iPhone 4s are kind of bad, anyway.

I find that the single-ear headset is good for me because I can pull it out right away if I need total hearing with both ears, but at the same time it's not jammed in my ear totally covering it in case I need it either. For phone calls the M50 sucks in my opinion, but for all the other pros it offers I still think it's the best single-ear headset. If I need something covering both of my ears I will either use the Motorola S11 headset which wraps around the back of your neck, has great range, and has great sound with playing music in both ears. It has a slightly annoying delay which I'm not too proud of, but all Bluetooth headsets have this delay. Some are just worse than others though. The M50 and the HM1700 are ok, but the S11 isn't the best.

Do you use earbuds and an earpiece, or do you turn the speech down low and do your best? In noisy environments most people can just look down at their phones. If you use speech, you want to be able to hear the speech without everyone else hearing it or becoming distracted by it, too. Sometimes I'll just hold the phone up toward my shoulder/ear and type/text so I can keep the volume down real low for privacy, but this looks really odd and unprofessional. I've thought about grabbing an earpiece or earbuds, but I usually forget, or it's just something else to charge and keep track of. What works for you?

Re: Bose MIE2i mobile headset - Seeking User Comments
Hi. I haven't followed this topic, but I do agree this headset is awesome. I have both this headset and the earpods which comes with the iPhone 5, and they sounds very simular. The Earpods is less basy, and there is a small difference which I don't know how to explain, either in english or danish. Lol. I can wear the Bose headset longer than the Earpods, because of the nice way they fits my ears. I use the headset every day, both in front of my computer, and on the go with my iPhone. Yes, the headset is expensive, but I never expected it to last for that much use for more than two years. You really have to be careful to not brake the cord though. Mine isn't broken yet, but sometines, I can hear it's damaged.

I can tell you that the MIE2i headset is very comfortable. There are three sets of tips provided: medium (which comes mounted already), small, and large. The medium-sized tips fit my ears well, so I haven't tried swapping the tips out. They don't penetrate deeply into the ear canal and thus can be worn a long time without ear fatigue. If you like a flat audio response, as I do, you'll likely be pleased with theMIE2i product. Classical music sounds quite natural with no trace of artificial boominess or peakiness. The microphone's sound quality isn't particularly distinguished, but it will suffice. I haven't used it in compromised situations, such as a windy or noisy environment.

Re: New Book: iOS Access for All

I am writing a book about iOS accessibility, called iOS Access for All, Your Comprehensive Guide to Accessibility for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. I'm writing about all accessibility tools in iOS, including VoiceOver, the low vision tools, Sir/voice input, guided access, assistive touch, and features designed for hearing impaired users. I've been writing about technology and the Mac for more than 25 years, and this will be my 13th book. iOS Access for All focuses on teaching you how to use iOS, if you're new, and how to get the most from it if you're not. There will also be a chapter featuring the best third-party apps. I want to include apps that are designed to enhance accessibility, as well as great apps in all categories that happen to do accessibility right. And the app chapter is why I'm writing to this group, even before the book is published. I have reviewed hundreds of software products over the years, but I know that everyone who uses iOS has a different set of favorite apps. I'm looking for feedback about the apps you love and why, and which ones you think blind folks and other iOS users need to know about. It's a big topic. I have started discussions of different app categories on my site, on Facebook, and on Google Plus. Links are below. Please follow the book on your favorite social network, and help me kickstart the conversation there. So far, I've posted about games and navigation apps. I plan to roll out more discussions during the next few weeks, covering productivity, news/information, entertainment, reading, lifestyle, and accessibility apps. There's a link below to my FAQ about the book, but you can also learn more about it from a couple of podcasts where I've been interviewed.

Hi, Application doesn't use map, you can load POIs into appliaction from text databases (e.g. Loadstone, OpenStreetMap) or create own in location where you are. Also yoy can create route manually from existing POIs or record route (pois will be saved automatically).

Re: URGENT: Bookshare Needs Your Help
URGENT: Bookshare Needs Your HelpHow did you manage to get around that capsy? I couldn't understand the audio. Martin Nelson From: Alan Lemly Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2013 3:21 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: FW: URGENT: Bookshare Needs Your Help I checked with Raul who gave me permission to post this. The below letter from Bookshare seeking signatures on a petition to ensure greatest access to books for those unable to read print in the international treaty being negotiated has been making the rounds. I urge everyone to sign this petition. I will caution you that you must have a WHite House.gov account to sign the petition and I believe you have to go through one of those annoying captchas to set it up. At any rate, all signatures would be welcome. When I signed last night, the count was about 98,000 shy of the 100,000 needed to force a White House response to the petition. Thanks. Alan Lemly -Original Message- From: Bookshare [mailto:booksh...@mail.vresp.com] Sent: Friday, May 24, 2013 6:58 PM To: wale...@gmail.com Subject: URGENT: Bookshare Needs Your Help Dear William, It's not typical for us to send you an email like this, but we felt this situation was so important it was necessary. You may already be aware, but for years negotiations have been moving forward on what many have come to call the Treaty for the Blind. The goal of the international treaty is to make it possible for people who are blind, or have other print disabilities such as dyslexia, to get access to the books they need for education, employment and inclusion in society-no matter where they live. It's something we already do, with great success, in the United States through Bookshare. However, private interests are trying to alter the treaty in such a way that it would become useless-even harmful. For example, they're trying to get language adopted that basically says: if you can buy it, you can't borrow it. This is not only an attack on people around the world with print disabilities-it's also an attack on libraries, like Bookshare, and could have a drastic effect on the number of books you have access to. Our biggest worry is this becoming a treaty that could stop Bookshare from serving our users in the United States the way we do today. We need our government negotiating for a treaty that supports a library like Bookshare. That's why we're working with a coalition of disability and library groups, including the National Federation of the Blind and the American Council of the Blind, to fight back against the proposed changes by these private interests. We'll do everything we can to secure a treaty that both protects the access we have now and that will benefit people with print disabilities around the world-but we need your help. We're asking you to take a moment to sign a petition on the White House's website that urges the President to step up his support: http://ow.ly/lkJVs. If we can get to 100,000 signatures, the White House is required to respond to the petition and will, hopefully, take positive action. With your help we know we can reach that number. We also recommend the petition at the National Federation of the Blind's site, which is particularly accessible. Thank you for your time and support. Together, we believe that our collective voice can make a real impact. If you're interested in more background on the treaty, here are some articles and resources you can review: a.. Huffington Post piece by Jim on how the treaty is being poisoned by private interests: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-fruchterman/poisoning-the-treaty-for-_b_3225181.html b..

Some will tell you that the latest generation of Apple Earpods sound almost as good. I just purchased an iPhone 5 a few days ago and have not yet tried the Earpods that come with it. I can tell you that the MIE2i headset is very comfortable. There are three sets of tips provided: medium (which comes mounted already), small, and large. The medium-sized tips fit my ears well, so I haven't tried swapping the tips out. They don't penetrate deeply into the ear canal and thus can be worn a long time without ear fatigue. If you like a flat audio response, as I do, you'll likely be pleased with theMIE2i product. Classical music sounds quite natural with no trace of artificial boominess or peakiness. The microphone's sound quality isn't particularly distinguished, but it will suffice. I haven't used it in compromised situations, such as a windy or noisy environment.

Do you use earbuds and an earpiece, or do you turn the speech down low and do your best? In noisy environments most people can just look down at their phones. If you use speech, you want to be able to hear the speech without everyone else hearing it or becoming distracted by it, too. Sometimes I'll just hold the phone up toward my shoulder/ear and type/text so I can keep the volume down real low for privacy, but this looks really odd and unprofessional.

Bluetooth Delay
I notice delay occurring intermittently. By that I mean headphones that normally are fairly snappy with sometimes cause longer delay. I cannot figure any correlating factors to this, be it turning on and off a keyboard or pairing and unpairing different listening devices, etc. This is something that can be tested by trying to use the on screen keyboard. More difficult, though, is moving around the screen to locate a button and tapping what you think is it only t have the one touched before that activate. I am just wondering if anyone knows any ways to minimize delay with devices normally not having it or eliminating it in those that more prone than others. The new Plantronics M55 seems particularly bad, but another Plantronics 903 is mostly pretty good. Thanks! Eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

And the app chapter is why I'm writing to this group, even before the book is published.

I'm looking for feedback about the apps you love and why, and which ones you think blind folks and other iOS users need to know about. It's a big topic. I have started discussions of different app categories on my site, on Facebook, and on Google Plus. Links are below. Please follow the book on your favorite social network, and help me kickstart the conversation there. So far, I've posted about games and navigation apps.

help getting started with Red Laser
All, I downloaded red laser, navigated to the scan tab, and now I am lost. I do not see a scan button. There is one for the light which I turned on, and something else that appears to do nothing. I tapped the camera roll button and was asked to accept the app viewing my photos which I declined. In order to scan barcodes, what steps do I need to take? Thanks.

RE: Requesting Update on the RSS Reader Scene
The problem with Feeddler and most other RSS apps is that they all use Google Reader to pull the subscriptions from.

RE: NLS Update on Talking Book App
Records were scratched, cassette tangled, digital is great although some of the older titles are a bit muffled. I just hope the app comes sooner rather than later. Sometimes the speaker on my phone is better than the Stream and since I ended up with one of the simple NLS machines when I asked for Advanced, if the book is marked up at multiple levels and I don't plan to read it straight through I use the stream, only good thing about the simple NLS player in my humble opinion is the speaker, I use it for the cartridge magazines, keep a few more muffled titles on a thumb drive but for the most part I don't use it a lot, I prefer navigation on the Stream no matter how you cut it, and hope it will be similar on the iPhone app. If there were a magic way to get the NLS player back to the library instead of having to take it to a physical post office I'd call and request the advanced but with my work schedule the time I often must spend at the hospital and such, I don't go to the post office except once in the past three years to get a certified letter and I was not happy about that, had to find a willing ride to pick it up and it took 8 days before I could get there and then the letter was really not worth the hassle. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Barry Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2013 12:36 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App I have nothing but bad memories of books on records. Not only was there a lot of flipping and switching but the worst part was all the damage done to the platter by previous users. Pops, click and worst of all track jumping. Cassettes were much better. Besides all that, they had the advantage of size and that your place was held if you paused one title and started another. Sound quality was good enough for voice recordings. Digital has been a vast leap forward. I love my Streams and we'll see what develops with the apps for the two smartphone OSes.

That wasn't good enough though for them, They then had to go from 2 track to 4 tracks and then they went a step farther and cut playback speed in half. They said quality wouldn't suffer but they were wrong. It did. The best thing to happen to talking books was they went digital. Sound quality went up greatly if you were listening to a new recording but then trouble struck again with budget cuts. Far fewer new books were being recorded and they started emptying out the tape libraries and digitizing those along with some restorazations of older books on record.

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.

But as you say, it is another item you have to make sure is charged up and I personally don't like it if I have to do any amount of typing. I do own one and use it at times, but first of all I feel I look like a nurd (no offense to anybody who wears it all day) and I just don't like the small lag when I am typing, it makes typing on the virtual keyboard even slower as it is. There is also a third reason why I don't want to have it in all day and that is the fact that nobody really knows if it is all that healthy. I very much prefer the Apple earpods, they are less conspicuous and even lighter than even the lightest Bluetooth earpiece. Depending on where I am and what I am doing I often just have the right one in my ear since it has the microphone and remote and I just have the left one hanging around my neck. It's become total habit for me to grab them in the morning, wrap them around my hand and put them in my pocket. In short, if you are in public and you don't want anybody to hear your phone a headset or earpiece of some sort is your only option. I personally wouldn't be too worried about people listening to a text message I might type, somebody really would have to pay attention to put together what you are typing if they hear a letter at a time, but of course if it's noisy a headset really is the way to go and it has the additional benefit that you can keep your phone on your belt or in your pocket when a call comes in.

Do you use earbuds and an earpiece, or do you turn the speech down low and do your best? In noisy environments most people can just look down at their phones. If you use speech, you want to be able to hear the speech without everyone else hearing it or becoming distracted by it, too. Sometimes I'll just hold the phone up toward my shoulder/ear and type/text so I can keep the volume down real low for privacy, but this looks really odd and unprofessional. I've thought about grabbing an earpiece or earbuds, but I usually forget, or it's just something else to charge and keep track of. What works for you?

RE: NLS Update on Talking Book App
If you ever have to send something via priority mail, the USPS will pick it and any other mail up. I sell on eBay and Amazon and have around four to five pick ups a week. In fact, that was how I sent off an old player that I had replaced because the battery was konking out on me after only a couple of hours. My mail carrier comes to my door and I just hand the orders for that day to her and that's it. Nice and convenient. The pick ups are scheduled through their website and you have to have an account with them, but it's free and easy enough to set up. If nothing else, it's always good to have as something in your back pocket should you ever need to get any mail or packages out and can't count on a ride or for someone to take it for you. But anyway, regarding the app, if it'll behave similarly to how the dedicated player does and offers increased faster playback speed than what any app is currently offering, talk about all-in-one accessibility heaven. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Rose Combs Sent: Sunday, May 26, 2013 3:47 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: NLS Update on Talking Book App Records were scratched, cassette tangled, digital is great although some of the older titles are a bit muffled.

Besides all that, they had the advantage of size and that your place was held if you paused one title and started another. Sound quality was good enough for voice recordings.

That wasn't good enough though for them, They then had to go from 2 track to 4 tracks and then they went a step farther and cut playback speed in half. They said quality wouldn't suffer but they were wrong. It did. The best thing to happen to talking books was they went digital. Sound quality went up greatly if you were listening to a new recording but then trouble struck again with budget cuts. Far fewer new books were being recorded and they started emptying out the tape libraries and digitizing those along with some restorazations of older books on record. Still, the best sounding recordings come from new books being recording for the first time. - Original Message - From: mailto:chuckd...@icloud.comChuck Dean To: mailto:viphone@googlegroups.comviphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2013 9:19 AM Subject: Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App Hi Joe, While I am looking forward to the IOS app, there is something about using the talking book machine supplied by NLS that is comforting.

I can tell you that the MIE2i headset is very comfortable. There are three sets of tips provided: medium (which comes mounted already), small, and large. The medium-sized tips fit my ears well, so I haven't tried swapping the tips out. They don't penetrate deeply into the ear canal and thus can be worn a long time without ear fatigue. If you like a flat audio response, as I do, you'll likely be pleased with theMIE2i product. Classical music sounds quite natural with no trace of artificial boominess or peakiness. The microphone's sound quality isn't particularly distinguished, but it will suffice. I haven't used it in compromised situations, such as a windy or noisy environment.

But as you say, it is another item you have to make sure is charged up and I personally don't like it if I have to do any amount of typing. I do own one and use it at times, but first of all I feel I look like a nurd (no offense to anybody who wears it all day) and I just don't like the small lag when I am typing, it makes typing on the virtual keyboard even slower as it is. There is also a third reason why I don't want to have it in all day and that is the fact that nobody really knows if it is all that healthy. I very much prefer the Apple earpods, they are less conspicuous and even lighter than even the lightest Bluetooth earpiece. Depending on where I am and what I am doing I often just have the right one in my ear since it has the microphone and remote and I just have the left one hanging around my neck. It's become total habit for me to grab them in the morning, wrap them around my hand and put them in my pocket. In short, if you are in public and you don't want anybody to hear your phone a headset or earpiece of some sort is your only option. I personally wouldn't be too worried about people listening to a text message I might type, somebody really would have to pay attention to put together what you are typing if they hear a letter at a time, but of course if it's noisy a headset really is the way to go and it has the additional benefit that you can keep your phone on your belt or in your pocket when a call comes in.

Do you use earbuds and an earpiece, or do you turn the speech down low and do your best? In noisy environments most people can just look down at their phones. If you use speech, you want to be able to hear the speech without everyone else hearing it or becoming distracted by it, too. Sometimes I'll just hold the phone up toward my shoulder/ear and type/text so I can keep the volume down real low for privacy, but this looks really odd and unprofessional. I've thought about grabbing an earpiece or earbuds, but I usually forget, or it's just something else to charge and keep track of. What works for you?

You touch on the reason I started this; the whole holding the phone up close to the ear and tapping away. This is what I've naturally preferred, but a colleague pointed out how weird and unprofessional it looks. It's not something I had thought about before and I was kind of caught off guard. It does make sense how odd it probably looks to hold a phone up chest level or next to your cheek or ear and type, though. I do not have hearing problems at all. Still, at least for me, I've got to have the voice near my ear when typing because when using touch typing it can be difficult to really hear Samantha in a lot of environments without turning the volume up. These are the only times I wish the iPhone had a physical keyboard. Finally, the speakers on the iPhone 4s are kind of bad, anyway. When I was using a Mophie Battery Juice case the speakers faced up which made the sound clearer. Just some observations. Brice On 5/25/13, Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: Hi, to add to this discussion what I do is use a single-ear headset like the Plantronics M50. I just recently purchased the Samsung HM1700 and am liking the volume on it better than the M50, but I haven't found a comfortable fit for it yet. So, still on the fence about that one. I find that the single-ear headset is good for me because I can pull it out right away if I need total hearing with both ears, but at the same time it's not jammed in my ear totally covering it in case I need it either. For phone calls the M50 sucks in my opinion, but for all the other pros it offers I still think it's the best single-ear headset. If I need something covering both of my ears I will either use the Motorola S11 headset which wraps around the back of your neck, has great range, and has great sound with playing music in both ears. It has a slightly annoying delay which I'm not too proud of, but all Bluetooth headsets have this delay. Some are just worse than others though. The M50 and the HM1700 are ok, but the S11 isn't the best. I try to avoid using wired connections because I like all that radiation flowing through my skull and because since we are all going to die some day, why not die cord free and happy? I don't have Apple earpods, and I'm not sure if I will get them since I have a bit of choice of things already. yes it's more to charge, but I also have a 3-in-1 charger usb cable with the standard usb end on one side

Besides all that, they had the advantage of size and that your place was held if you paused one title and started another. Sound quality was good enough for voice recordings.

That wasn't good enough though for them, They then had to go from 2 track to 4 tracks and then they went a step farther and cut playback speed in half. They said quality wouldn't suffer but they were wrong. It did. The best thing to happen to talking books was they went digital. Sound quality went up greatly if you were listening to a new recording but then trouble struck again with budget cuts. Far fewer new books were being recorded and they started emptying out the tape libraries and digitizing those along with some restorazations of older books on record.

Re: Radio
I guess that would depend on who you ask. Both apps have a free version, so you can download both and choose for yourself. Personally, I like Tune In radio. I liked it enough that I bought the paid version which eliminates the on screen ads and helps the developer make future improvements. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze any tie ping or spelin airors.

RE: iPhone 5 and Braille display question.
Where do you get the New Kid Braille display? verse of the Week For we are God's masterpiece.

The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When evildoers assail me, uttering slanders against me, my adversaries and foes, they shall stumble and fall. 3 Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. 4 One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple. 11 Teach me your way, O LORD; and lead me on a level path because of my enemies. 12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence. 13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! 14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the LORD! to ssubscribe, email dthomps...@mchsi.com with subscribe in the subject.

Hi, I use a new kid on the block with my iphone very successfully, the Seika Mini braille display. I was looking for something small and lightweight which I could take out and about, so I chose that one. It's only 16 cells but I'm pleased with the quality of the braille. It's not too sharp which some braille displays can be. It works well with the iphone too. Take care, Cokes.

I have always liked Humanware displays Myself but maybe that is because I used their note taking devices for so long. The braille seems to be more crisper then with other displays.

Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: Hi Annie and all. I forgot to add in my last message that I have found 32 cells to be the perfect portable reading length for me. In my search for a Bluetooth display I could have easily gone with a model which has 32-cells, but something about the Focus 40 Blue really sold me on it and if they would have had a 32-cell version, I would have been there instead. I know the handytech ones and Humanware ones are proven and are work-horses, but maybe I'm just drawn to new and shiny things. I don't know. Only time will tell how well the Focus 40 Blue pans out. From the few people I've spoken with who have one, they have been impressed also, and holding it in my hands, and using it with my iPhone during a presentation felt nice. I of course realize that using something for 45 minutes isn't the same as for a week or longer, but still, I liked it. -- Raul A.
