Re: Aftershokz Bluez Voice Over
Hi yes vo does travel through the earphones yes. they work quite well. from Mich. - Original Message - From: Bill Gallik wfgal...@charter.net To: List viPhone viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, June 17, 2013 4:43 AM Subject: Aftershokz Bluez Voice Over I've seen several posts on this list extolling the Aftershokz Bluez wrap-around Bluetooth earphones. My question is, does VoiceOver transmit over these earphones? I've purchased several Bluetooth headphones now that supposedly offered an A2DP protocol only to discover after I've committed my money that VoiceOver will not function over those specific earphones. My main reason for wanting earphones in the first place is so that others won't have to listen to all that jabber when I'm using my iPhone 5. Can any of you who have purchased and are now using the Aftershokz Bluez earphones tell me with a certainty, when deployed does all sound channel through these earphones?

Restoring an iPhone -- can it be done over wifi?
Hi All, My daughter had to replace her iPhone over the weekend. Before taking the damaged one back, she backed it up to her laptop. But when she attempted to restore to her new phone, the laptop won't recognize it. In fact the laptop doesn't recognize any usb devices. The new phone, on the other hand, is recognizable when we plug it into other computers. The problem is she can't get her contacts etc. off the laptop. So I'm wondering is it possible to restore content over a wifi connection? Thanks in advance. Kimber -- Kimberly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Restoring an iPhone -- can it be done over wifi?
Several ideas present. First, maybe it is backed up on iCloud anyway. Check. Try another USB port on that computer which appears to have issues. You might try copying over the backup files manually to a functioning computer although I'm not 100% sure that would work. This points up why a little preparation goes a long long way.

Re: Aftershokz Bluez Voice Over
The only issue I have with the Aftershokz is knowing the exact sequence of turning on the phone and the headset. I'm used to turning on the device first, and then the phone, but this doesn't work with the Aftershokz. Also, they won't connect if you wait too long to turn them on. There's a sweet spot that you have to find after you turn the phone on, and before the phone comes on when you have to turn on the headset.

Re: bible app
aActually, it works a bit better with notes and such. You have to select verses in order to see the Notes option. And when thee app opens, you can look for the book, chapter and verse you want cuz there's a references button. and instead of searching for stuff through the menu only, now they've placed a search function at the bottom of the page. I have an iphone 5 and use this app almost daily. The only thing I believe they need to work on is us being able to use the options under the menu.

RE: Restoring an iPhone -- can it be done over wifi?
Hi Kimber, Is this a Windows 8 laptop? I heard sometimes an iPhone is not recognized in Windows 8 if not all Windows 8 updates are installed. I can't confirm this from my own experience, but I heard this yesterday on the Today in iOS Podcast. One interesting test would be if there is the USB connect sound from Windows and, if so, if she takes a picture or 2, does the phone show up in Windows Explorer as a device? I think you said the computer does not recognize any USB device which of course would indicate there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. As others suggested, make sure you try all USB ports and try things like maybe a USB thumb drive or a USB keyboard to see if the computer recognizes it.

So, somewhat in the spirit of the conversation that was started around using voice recognition features in new ways, here's a little list of apps that I think would be cool to have. Some of these are doable, and some, are at least a long way off, but this list is more about dreaming up possibilities then about practicality. I'm hoping my list might spark some other folks ideas about apps or other functionality they would like as a blind user to have on their phone. So often, sighted folks have an idea about what they think would be helpful for blind people to have; I think it would be great if we generated the ideas and put them out there. I'm sure it might happen, but I'm not putting this little list out there for zealous nit-picking: That's not possible because, or that's ridiculous because, etc. And I'm also not looking for other ways to accomplish the same tasks. I'm just saying, Wouldn't it be cool if I could use my phone to do . Ok, that's my preamble. Here's my starter list, add your own. 1. Text Id. The idea is for an app that would quickly scan an area and pinpoint whether and where there was text, and then read it. This would be useful, for instance, in finding a address on a building, or a sign behind glass, etc. 2. Am I straight. This wouldn't be an app for determining one's sexual orientation, but would be an easy to use leveler. I know there are already a couple of audio levelers out there, and I haven't checked them recently but I've found them a bit tedious to use. Wouldn't it be nice to hold up your phone and have it tell you A little higher on the left. Ooops, that's too much. I realize that this would require having some way to determine that the phone itself was more or less level but . 3. Does this go with that? or Can I go out wearing this? As color identifiers get better it would be great to have an app that could tell you whether two different colors complimented each other. So you could know if that pink shirt went with those russet pants. 4.Where's the pooh, I read recently that there is now a new external ad on device for Android that offers other kinds of sensory gauges. Wouldn't it be cool to use something like this to zero in on organic matter. Sometimes, in the night, I'll hear my cat go through his impressive audio wind up before throwing up a hairball; I'll get a general idea of where it is, but it would be nice to have something like a blacklight to tell me where exactly the mess is. I don't have a guide dog or a dog of any kind, so I don't know how easy or onerous it is to find your dog's deposits, but wouldn't it be cool to have a spotter. 5.O Spot, similar to the above, wouldn't it be nice to have an app to identify whether you had a spot on that shirt. It could be used both for checking your clothes before wearing them out in public, but also for finding spots to apply spot remover. Alright, that's what I have so far; would love to hear other people's creative ideas! Lisa -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

apologies to the list.
The other day, I posted a message to the list, asking how to bring over my contacts from my windows 7 computer to my IPad mini. I messed up and put what I wanted to know in the subject line, and not in the body of the message, and if that upset moderators etc. I apologize. However, I still don't have a good answer, so if anyone can help me here, it would be appreciated. Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Syncing music from iPhone to iTunes and app recommendations
Greetings. I recently got an iTunes gift card for $10. I am considering getting some music through the iTunes app on my iPhone 5, but am wondering if those songs will be synced to my computer the next time I connect my phone? I don't consider myself an iTunes expert on the Windows 7 PC I have, and actually try to use iTunes as little as possible other than keeping things synced and updated, so straight forward answers would be appreciated. I set my computer to sync any/all music from the specified folder to my phone. However, if I buy some songs or an album on the phone, will those songs be added to the computer? And if so, would they be in MP3 format or another proprietary Apple format? I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4 and Windows 7 on my PC. AS if all this weren't enough, I am also looking for some useful app recommendations. I know about Voice Dream Reader, but as of yet I don't have a use for that app since I don't read a lot of documents on my phone. I like apps that perform a purpose or are challenging in some way, like the iAssociate 2 game someone recommended to me sometime ago. Ideas?

Re: any way to close speaker while calling
Hi, At least on the iPhone 5, while on a call you can’t turn Voiceover off with a triple press of home while the phone is still to your ear. You would need to then move the phone away from your ear, thus putting the device on speaker phone. This leaves one with the problem of having their phone stuck on speaker phone, with no way of turning it off. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Jun 17, 2013, at 11:51 AM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Ricardo, What do you mean by this is something we can no longer do?

Re: Facebook app frustrations
Hello Christine, I too feel your frustration with the Face Book app. Unfortunately, I don't have the answers to all your questions, but one thing I have noticed is with the Back Button in Notifications, your not imagining it, Yes it is missing. I had my Daughter take a look at the screen, just incase the button might have been moved to a newer location on the screen, I think lately, the App might have been updated and the Back button is no longer there. So, what I found does work, is to double tap on the Notification Heading and that shouldprompt you out of that screen and allow you access to the main screen again. Try this, it should work, I know I was stuck in that one screen myself, and it was a pain to get out. Hope this helps. Take care. -Original Message- From: Christine Grassman Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 8:34 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Facebook app frustrations All righty, fellow Facebook folks: I am trying to figure out why, and more importantly, if there is a workaround for the following issues: 1. Liking something sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. (I find this is true both on the phone and on my Mac.) 2. When I want to see who liked a post, sometimes it will show me, and other times it will go to the one page of the last person to like. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to this. 3.

Re: Facebook app frustrations
Good morning Christine. When you are in your notifications in facebook, to go back to your newsfeed, do a 2 finger scrub, this works for me. I have never found a back buttton anywhere either.

Re: There should be an app for ...
I love the color identifier ideas!! Knowing which colors go together and whether there are spots are pet peeves of mine. Today my color identifier said I was wearing blue and red. When I checked it was half right. It was blue and yellow. No dark on either color which could have been disaster to matching. Thought if I bought a color identifier app it would help, but it did only to a point. Never see updates on these apps either and they are important, not just to us but color blind too. Just an opinion. Reggie and Allegra On Jun 17, 2013, at 11:43 AM, Lisa Larges lisa.lar...@gmail.com wrote: Hey All, Every now and then I’ll be doing something as a blind person that is either really time consuming, in comparison to the time it would take for a sighted person to do, or requires either some elaborate work-around, or finding a sighted person to help me. In those situations I often think to myself, “There should be an app that does this.” So, somewhat in the spirit of the conversation that was started around using voice recognition features in new ways, here’s a little list of apps that I think would be cool to have. Some of these are doable, and some, are at least a long way off, but this list is more about dreaming up possibilities then about practicality. I’m hoping my list might spark some other folks ideas about apps or other functionality they would like as a blind user to have on their phone. So often, sighted folks have an idea about what they think would be helpful for blind people to have; I think it would be great if we generated the ideas and put them out there. I’m sure it might happen, but I’m not putting this little list out there for zealous nit-picking: “That’s not possible because,” or “that’s ridiculous because,” etc. And I’m also not looking for other ways to accomplish the same tasks. I’m just saying, “Wouldn’t it be cool if I could use my phone to do … “ Ok, that’s my preamble. Here’s my starter list, add your own. 1. Text Id. The idea is for an app that would quickly scan an area and pinpoint whether and where there was text, and then read it. This would be useful, for instance, in finding a address on a building, or a sign behind glass, etc. 2. Am I straight. This wouldn’t be an app for determining one’s sexual orientation, but would be an easy to use leveler. I know there are already a couple of audio levelers out there, and I haven’t checked them recently but I’ve found them a bit tedious to use. Wouldn’t it be nice to hold up your phone and have it tell you “A little higher on the left.” “Ooops, that’s too much.” I realize that this would require having some way to determine that the phone itself was more or less level but … 3. “Does this go with that?” or “Can I go out wearing this?” As color identifiers get better it would be great to have an app that could tell you whether two different colors complimented each other. So you could know if that pink shirt went with those russet pants. 4.“Where’s the pooh,” I read recently that there is now a new external ad on device for Android that offers other kinds of sensory gauges. Wouldn’t it be cool to use something like this to zero in on organic matter. Sometimes, in the night, I’ll hear my cat go through his impressive audio wind up before throwing up a hairball; I’ll get a general idea of where it is, but it would be nice to have something like a blacklight to tell me where exactly the mess is. I don’t have a guide dog or a dog of any kind, so I don’t know how easy or onerous it is to find your dog’s deposits, but wouldn’t it be cool to have a spotter. 5.“O Spot,” similar to the above, wouldn’t it be nice to have an app to identify whether you had a spot on that shirt. It could be used both for checking your clothes before wearing them out in public, but also for finding spots to apply spot remover. Alright, that’s what I have so far; would love to hear other people’s creative ideas! Lisa -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: Syncing music from iPhone to iTunes and app recommendations
Hi Wayne, In iTunes, go to Edit and Preferences or use the shortcut key Control+Comma Now press Control+Tab 3 times to go to the Store Tab. Press tab 4 times and you get to Music and you want to make sure this is checked. If you tab again you find Apps and Books and you can check these as well if you want Apps and Books you buy on your phone to automatically download in iTunes next time you open it. Now tab to OK and press it and now if you buy a song on your iPhone and iTunes is open it will download instantly to your music library in iTunes. If you use the Jaws cursor when you are on Music and go up a few lines you hear what these 3 checkboxes do: Automatic Downloads iTunes can automatically download new purchases made on other devices using wcmerr...@gmail.com I am assuming your gmail address is also your Apple Id, if you use a different email address as your Apple Id it will be the one displayed here.

I recently got an iTunes gift card for $10. I am considering getting some music through the iTunes app on my iPhone 5, but am wondering if those songs will be synced to my computer the next time I connect my phone? I don't consider myself an iTunes expert on the Windows 7 PC I have, and actually try to use iTunes as little as possible other than keeping things synced and updated, so straight forward answers would be appreciated. I set my computer to sync any/all music from the specified folder to my phone. However, if I buy some songs or an album on the phone, will those songs be added to the computer? And if so, would they be in MP3 format or another proprietary Apple format? I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4 and Windows 7 on my PC. AS if all this weren't enough, I am also looking for some useful app recommendations. I know about Voice Dream Reader, but as of yet I don't have a use for that app since I don't read a lot of documents on my phone. I like apps that perform a purpose or are challenging in some way, like the iAssociate 2 game someone recommended to me sometime ago. Ideas?

Re: a question about focusing and thermostats and washers and stoves.
I know what you mean. I like how for example the water temperature button makes different pitched tones to let you know which one you've selected and if you just take the default settings you can't go to far wrong. I like the normal wash setting too. I have tried the normal setting on the dryer but it left some clothes very slightly damp so I have changed those. Talking goggles does pretty good at reading the display for me but it's a bit of a pain having to play around with it. It's not the fault of the app though. The machine is not perfectly stationary either and I'm sure that effects it too but still, it works if your willing to mess around with it. - Original Message - From: Tom Frank To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 5:18 PM Subject: Re: a question about focusing and thermostats and washers and stoves.

Re: Restoring an iPhone -- can it be done over wifi?
It's a windows xp laptop. The thing that makes me think it's the laptop rather than the phone, is that the phone is recognized by other computers when plugged in. The main problem of the moment is that all her contacts etc are on that laptop and she wants to get them onto her new phone. The other strange thing is that everything else on the laptop in question is working like a champ, however none of the USB ports are working. Thanks for the thoughts.

I think you said the computer does not recognize any USB device which of course would indicate there is something seriously wrong with the laptop.

Re: Bible app from Life Church
I wrote them a couple of months ago and got a reply. They are aware of our VO issues and are working on them. The update addresses a couple of issues and makes the app a bit more usable. The guy I heard from his name is Dwayne. They have added a search function on almost every page so that we don't have to access the menu. And it is now a bit easier to select verses for notes or sharing now. The menu has not been fixed yet though. HTH, Sharonda On 6/17/13, Brent Harbolt bharb...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Hi guys.

RE: any way to close speaker while calling
Hi Ricardo, OK, I just tried this on my 4S and you are correct, I am not able to turn off Voiceover with a triple click home when the phone was to my ear or if I moved it away and covered the sensor. However, If you dial a number or double tap on a stored number/favorite and keepthe the phone away from your ear, Voiceover and the call are at first on the earpiece and not on the speaker. You can at that point turn off Voiceover with a triple click home, then put your phone to yor ear and have the conversation without Voiceover and, since Voiceover is not running, taking the phone away from your ear will not put the call on speakerphone. Lastly, if I take the phone away from my ear and don't want the call to switch to speakerphone I simply cover the top part of the phone which means the proximity sensor still thinks the phone is up to my ear and it won't switch to speakerphone. You can even put your phone on a table face down and this works.

Hey All, Every now and then I'll be doing something as a blind person that is either really time consuming, in comparison to the time it would take for a sighted person to do, or requires either some elaborate work-around, or finding a sighted person to help me. In those situations I often think to myself, There should be an app that does this. So, somewhat in the spirit of the conversation that was started around using voice recognition features in new ways, here's a little list of apps that I think would be cool to have. Some of these are doable, and some, are at least a long way off, but this list is more about dreaming up possibilities then about practicality. I'm hoping my list might spark some other folks ideas about apps or other functionality they would like as a blind user to have on their phone. So often, sighted folks have an idea about what they think would be helpful for blind people to have; I think it would be great if we generated the ideas and put them out there. I'm sure it might happen, but I'm not putting this little list out there for zealous nit-picking: That's not possible because, or that's ridiculous because, etc. And I'm also not looking for other ways to accomplish the same tasks. I'm just saying, Wouldn't it be cool if I could use my phone to do . Ok, that's my preamble. Here's my starter list, add your own. 1. Text Id.

This would be useful, for instance, in finding a address on a building, or a sign behind glass, etc. 2. Am I straight.

I know there are already a couple of audio levelers out there, and I haven't checked them recently but I've found them a bit tedious to use. Wouldn't it be nice to hold up your phone and have it tell you A little higher on the left. Ooops, that's too much. I realize that this would require having some way to determine that the phone itself was more or less level but . 3. Does this go with that? or Can I go out wearing this? As color identifiers get better it would be great to have an app that could tell you whether two different colors complimented each other. So you could know if that pink shirt went with those russet pants. 4.Where's the pooh, I read recently that there is now a new external ad on device for Android that offers other kinds of sensory gauges. Wouldn't it be cool to use something like this to zero in on organic matter.

I don't have a guide dog or a dog of any kind, so I don't know how easy or onerous it is to find your dog's deposits, but wouldn't it be cool to have a spotter. 5.O Spot, similar to the above, wouldn't it be nice to have an app to identify whether you had a spot on that shirt. It could be used both for checking your clothes before wearing them out in public, but also for finding spots to apply spot remover.

RE: Restoring an iPhone -- can it be done over wifi?
If none of the USB ports are working with anything then the laptop has either no drivers for them which is unlikely if it worked before or, and this is more likely, there is a serious physical defect. If the laptop is running XP it sounds as if it is most likely rather old. If it's just the contacts that she wants to get she can always export them to a mail program on another computer and sync via iTunes on that computer. Of course if she also has a lot of music it would wipe out her music. This is a fantastic example why everybody should use Outlook.com, Gmail or iCloud.com for their email and contacts. If you use a web based service such as one of these you will never loose anything and all you have to do when you get a new phone or do a factory reset is to set up your account again and all your emails and contacts are there.

I think you said the computer does not recognize any USB device which of course would indicate there is something seriously wrong with the laptop.

Re: Facebook app frustrations
Hello Christine, I too had the same problem, the way I worked around it is I double tap on one of the notifications and once in the actual notification then the back button appears which takes you to the news feed or your main menu. When I first started using the facebook app, and I would be flicking to the left to brouse the newsfeed I was able to stop on a certain post and feel for the like button and when voiceover would confirm that I was there I would double tap it, however this is no longer the case, now when I want to like or comment or see likes or comments I half to actually stop on the post I want double tap it to enter and then all the options are visible and working. Note for me the like button sometimes seems like its sticking when I touch it so I touch it a few times until I hear voiceover speak the word like once and not one thousand and then I double tap, when I hear unlike then I hit the back button to go back to the main newsfeed.

I had my Daughter take a look at the screen, just incase the button might have been moved to a newer location on the screen, I think lately, the App might have been updated and the Back button is no longer there. So, what I found does work, is to double tap on the Notification Heading and that shouldprompt you out of that screen and allow you access to the main screen again. Try this, it should work, I know I was stuck in that one screen myself, and it was a pain to get out. Hope this helps.

Liking something sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. (I find this is true both on the phone and on my Mac.) 2. When I want to see who liked a post, sometimes it will show me, and other times it will go to the one page of the last person to like. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to this. 3. When I check my notifications, on the phone, there does not seem to be a back button; am I missing something? 4. Sometimes when I want to like on someone's page because of something shared, I can only like the shared link on its original page, not on my friend's page. 5. There are times when I click on a friend's page to read further something posted, and the app does nothing at all. 6. Sometimes I cannot get to the posted link, or read the comments. (I realize some people's privacy settings might not permit me to see their comments, but it is unlikely that this is true of all of the people on the larger sites I am referring to.)

Re: There should be an app for ...
let's take it one step further, an app to determine if the person you want to get to know has an iPhone or Android and allows you to communicate with that person's phone.

Hey All, Every now and then I'll be doing something as a blind person that is either really time consuming, in comparison to the time it would take for a sighted person to do, or requires either some elaborate work-around, or finding a sighted person to help me. In those situations I often think to myself, There should be an app that does this. So, somewhat in the spirit of the conversation that was started around using voice recognition features in new ways, here's a little list of apps that I think would be cool to have. Some of these are doable, and some, are at least a long way off, but this list is more about dreaming up possibilities then about practicality. I'm hoping my list might spark some other folks ideas about apps or other functionality they would like as a blind user to have on their phone. So often, sighted folks have an idea about what they think would be helpful for blind people to have; I think it would be great if we generated the ideas and put them out there. I'm sure it might happen, but I'm not putting this little list out there for zealous nit-picking: That's not possible because, or that's ridiculous because, etc. And I'm also not looking for other ways to accomplish the same tasks. I'm just saying, Wouldn't it be cool if I could use my phone to do . Ok, that's my preamble. Here's my starter list, add your own. 1. Text Id. The idea is for an app that would quickly scan an area and pinpoint whether and where there was text, and then read it. This would be useful, for instance, in finding a address on a building, or a sign behind glass, etc. 2. Am I straight. This wouldn't be an app for determining one's sexual orientation, but would be an easy to use leveler. I know there are already a couple of audio levelers out there, and I haven't checked them recently but I've found them a bit tedious to use. Wouldn't it be nice to hold up your phone and have it tell you A little higher on the left. Ooops, that's too much. I realize that this would require having some way to determine that the phone itself was more or less level but . 3. Does this go with that? or Can I go out wearing this? As color identifiers get better it would be great to have an app that could tell you whether two different colors complimented each other. So you could know if that pink shirt went with those russet pants. 4.Where's the pooh, I read recently that there is now a new external ad on device for Android that offers other kinds of sensory gauges. Wouldn't it be cool to use something like this to zero in on organic matter. Sometimes, in the night, I'll hear my cat go through his impressive audio wind up before throwing up a hairball; I'll get a general idea of where it is, but it would be nice to have something like a blacklight to tell me where exactly the mess is. I don't have a guide dog or a dog of any kind, so I don't know how easy or onerous it is to find your dog's deposits, but wouldn't it be cool to have a spotter. 5.O Spot, similar to the above, wouldn't it be nice to have an app to identify whether you had a spot on that shirt. It could be used both for checking your clothes before wearing them out in public, but also for finding spots to apply spot remover.

Fred, There are many of those, lots of the dating apps are accessible and it's pretty standard that you can search for certain ranges in height, body type, hair colour etc and unless you check the casual encounters section where lots of married guys and girls are looking for something on the side the single status is usually a given.

In any case, I am not sure why this has to do with Apple Accessibility since it's a standard iTunes feature. Below is a listing of the basic steps and I follow this with a more detailed set of instructions I posted on the list a few times before: 1. Find the song you want 2. Press Control+I for Get Information, arrow to the options tab, tab to start and end time and set end time to no more than 40 seconds. 3. Right click on your song and select Create AAC Version 4. Right click on the newly created 40 second version of the song and select Show in Windows Explorer 5. Cut the song with Control+X, then go to your Tones or Ringtones folder in iTunes Media which in turn in in i/tunes which in turn should be in your Music or My Music folder. 6. Paste the song with Control+V 7. Go to the Tools menu of your Windows Explorer window, go to Folder Options and the View tab, make sure Hide extensions for known file types is Off. 8. Rename the .M4A extension to M4R. 9. Press enter on the newly renamed file to play it in iTunes, this automatically adds it to your Tones library. 10. Connect your phone, make sure Sync All Tones is selected or if you sync selected tones, make sure your new ringtone is checked, then sync your phone. That's it. Below are the more detailed instructions. This is for Windows, not sure what would be different if you use one of the inferior Mac computers *smile*. Creating Ringtones from songs using iTune for Windows: 1. Find the song you want to make into a ringtone in your Music tab in iTunes. 2. Right click and select Get Info. Go to the Options tab, tab down to Start Time and check it by pressing the space bar. Tab again and specify the Start Time. usually you start at the beginning of the song, i.e. 0:00, but if the song starts very slow you may want to find a good spot a few seconds from the beginning where you start the ringtone. tab one more time to go to Stop Time, check it also and tab to the edit field, specify the Stop Time. This will ensure that iTunes will play the song starting from the specified Start Time to the Stop Time. Make sure that the stop time doesn't exceed the start time by more than 40 seconds which is the maximum length of a ringtone. Click OK. Press enter to play the song, it will only play the part of the song you selected and you can see if it sounds good where it starts and stops. If it stops in the middle of a note or word you can make it a few seconds shorter to find a better place. I usually set the stop time to 39 or 40 seconds and then make it shorter to make it sound good. The start time is displayed as 0:00 where the first 0 means 0 minutes, then a : and then the 00 after that is for the seconds. The stop time by default has the ending time of the song, for example 3:23.46 where the first 3 is the number of minutes, then the :, then the next 2 digits are the seconds and then a . and the last number or numbers is I guess maybe in one tenth of a second or even one hundreds, not quite sure, but it's a very small increment. Note: Instead of right clicking on the song you can also use the Windows Application Key (some call it the Context menu Key, it's on the right side of the space bar next to the Control key). Even easier is to use the keyboard shortcut Control+I and this should work in
RE: There should be an app for ...
Hi Carol, MyWay Classic will do this nicely, but the problem is that this will not work indoors because you either only get a very weak or most likely no GPS signal. Anyhow, with 3-5 meters accuracy no app will be good enough to do this at this point. However, a guide dog will do this very nicely, if I am inside somewhere it is rare that my dog will not find his way when I say Find the door.

RE: Is it still possible to create ringtones in iTunes?
I haven't done a new iTunes install in a while, but I thought the Tones or Ringtones folder was there by default. Anyhow, it really shouldn't matter, if you create that folder and put a ringtone or a few ringtones in it, then go to iTunes and go to File and Add Folder to Library this should work no problem. You could also try to put your ringtones into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, then open iTunes and see if that creates a Tones or Ringtones folder and moves your ringtones into it. Please write to me off-list at siegh...@live.ca if you still can't get this to work and I'll walk you through it on the phone or via Skype since this really should work and once you get the hang of it it's not hard.

RE: apologies to the list.
Sieghard, I use yahoo mail and it works great as far as the sync process. I use the mobile site on my computer, and my contacts, calendar and mail all sync back and forth from the phone to the computer. The only problem is that the yahoo account is an ATT account, and you brought up a good point. If I ever change internet providers, I will need a new account. I guess I could create a plain yahoo account. Is the outlook account totally accessible with voice over and jaws, contacts, mail, and calendar? -- On Mon, Jun 17, 2013 11:02 AM CDT Sieghard Weitzel wrote: Hi Jim, What email client do you use, The more information you provide the easier it is for others to give you the correct information. If you use Outlook 2007 or 2010 you can use iTunes to sync your emails and contacts with your iPhone. However, you might seriously want to consider going to a web based email service like Outlook.com from Microsoft or Gmail because as soon as you have multiple devices using a POP email account is not the greatest. I personally prefer Outlook.com because it uses Exchange Active Sync which does mail, contacts and calendars. If you go with Google, you have to setup your gmail account as IMAP on both your computer and your iPhone and then set up a different so-called CardDAV account to sync your Google Contacts. I know it's a pain in the neck to switch email accounts, but if you do go through with it and once it's done you'll be glad you did since your mail and contacts will always be kept in sync, you can add a contact on your computer and it will magically show up on your phone or vice versa. The other advantage is that if you ever get a new computer or iPhone/iPad, all you have to do is set up your account and all your emails and contacts will be there again, there is nothing to back up, you'll never loose all your stuff because your hard drive crashed and you didn't have a backup etc. Lastly, if you ever change your email provider your @outlook.com or @gmail.com email address will not be effected. If you let me know what exactly you use in terms of email client, I can maybe give you some more pointers as to how to set it up for now and I'd be happy to talk to you directly if you want more information about setting up with Outlook.com or gmail.

Re: adding an earpiece
It might be easier to pair the phone and headset using the keyboard, but once you have them paired, it's not neccessary. You would go to settings, the bluetooth, then in the bluetooth options your headset will be in the now discovered list after you turn the headset on. Hope that answers your question.

Re: over lay for screen on IPad mini.
Hi, you can get them from speed dots at www.speeddots.com and I do recommend them.

Hey All, Every now and then I'll be doing something as a blind person that is either really time consuming, in comparison to the time it would take for a sighted person to do, or requires either some elaborate work-around, or finding a sighted person to help me. In those situations I often think to myself, There should be an app that does this. So, somewhat in the spirit of the conversation that was started around using voice recognition features in new ways, here's a little list of apps that I think would be cool to have. Some of these are doable, and some, are at least a long way off, but this list is more about dreaming up possibilities then about practicality. I'm hoping my list might spark some other folks ideas about apps or other functionality they would like as a blind user to have on their phone. So often, sighted folks have an idea about what they think would be helpful for blind people to have; I think it would be great if we generated the ideas and put them out there. I'm sure it might happen, but I'm not putting this little list out there for zealous nit-picking: That's not possible because, or that's ridiculous because, etc. And I'm also not looking for other ways to accomplish the same tasks. I'm just saying, Wouldn't it be cool if I could use my phone to do . Ok, that's my preamble. Here's my starter list, add your own. 1. Text Id. The idea is for an app that would quickly scan an area and pinpoint whether and where there was text, and then read it. This would be useful, for instance, in finding a address on a building, or a sign behind glass, etc. 2. Am I straight. This wouldn't be an app for determining one's sexual orientation, but would be an easy to use leveler. I know there are already a couple of audio levelers out there, and I haven't checked them recently but I've found them a bit tedious to use. Wouldn't it be nice to hold up your phone and have it tell you A little higher on the left. Ooops, that's too much. I realize that this would require having some way to determine that the phone itself was more or less level but . 3. Does this go with that? or Can I go out wearing this? As color identifiers get better it would be great to have an app that could tell you whether two different colors complimented each other. So you could know if that pink shirt went with those russet pants. 4.Where's the pooh, I read recently that there is now a new external ad on device for Android that offers other kinds of sensory gauges. Wouldn't it be cool to use something like this to zero in on organic matter. Sometimes, in the night, I'll hear my cat go through his impressive audio wind up before throwing up a hairball; I'll get a general idea of where it is, but it would be nice to have something like a blacklight to tell me where exactly the mess is. I don't have a guide dog or a dog of any kind, so I don't know how easy or onerous it is to find your dog's deposits, but wouldn't it be cool to have a spotter. 5.O Spot, similar to the above, wouldn't it be nice to have an app to identify whether you had a spot on that shirt. It could be used both for checking your clothes before wearing them out in public, but also for finding spots to apply spot remover.

RE: There should be an app for ...
Indoor navigation would be awesome especially in larger buildings like big government buildings, universities, conference centers etc. However, something like that could only work if the building was equipped with RFID sensors or something like that. I think that will come, RFID is used and works extremely well for inventory management in large companies and warehouses, it is used for collecting toll fees when cards drive by which have the appropriate RFID tag and it's relatively cheap. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of RobH!

I'm just saying, Wouldn't it be cool if I could use my phone to do . Ok, that's my preamble. Here's my starter list, add your own. 1. Text Id. The idea is for an app that would quickly scan an area and pinpoint whether and where there was text, and then read it. This would be useful, for instance, in finding a address on a building, or a sign behind glass, etc. 2. Am I straight. This wouldn't be an app for determining one's sexual orientation, but would be an easy to use leveler. I know there are already a couple of audio levelers out there, and I haven't checked them recently but I've found them a bit tedious to use. Wouldn't it be nice to hold up your phone and have it tell you A little higher on the left. Ooops, that's too much. I realize that this would require having some way to determine that the phone itself was more or less level but . 3. Does this go with that? or Can I go out wearing this? As color identifiers get better it would be great to have an app that could tell you whether two different colors complimented each other. So you could know if that pink shirt went with those russet pants. 4.Where's the pooh, I read recently that there is now a new external ad on device for Android that offers other kinds of sensory gauges. Wouldn't it be cool to use something like this to zero in on organic matter. Sometimes, in the night, I'll hear my cat go through his
Booking.com Update with Voiceover improvement - fantastic!!!
Hello, A while back I posted my very positive experience contacting Booking.com who offer over 300,000 hotels via their website and app. I wrote to them and mentioned that the app worked well, but that the search results list was almost unuseable with Voiceover since it was extremely sluggish, you couldn't flick through the list of results and touching the screen in different places did work, but it was sluggish and often unreliable and repeated a lot of information. I initially contacted them about a month ago, in Mid May. I received a prompt reply that my feedback would be passed on to their development team. About a week later the same person reported that the development team would look into this and again a week or 10 days later (about 2 weeks ago) the same person again send me a message without me asking saying that improvements had been made and would be available in the upcoming update. The update took a while, but this morning it was in the app store and I downloaded it right away and did a search for hotels in Vancouver. I am very happy to say that now the list of search results works perfectly, it is fast and you can right flick through the list, Voiceover reads the hotel name and the starting price of the room rates it found for the date you entered. You can then double tap on a hotel, often there is more information given and even in the prior version, once you got to that point actually making a reservation was no problem. Booking.com does also work with Passbook and I find this very handy since after I make a booking I can add it to Passbook and when I get to the hotel I can, if necessary, just pull up the booking confirmation. This is another example of a large company being very responsive and I hope everybody who travels on a regular bases for pleasure or business and who needs to make hotel reservations will give the Booking.com app a try and hopefully take a few minutes to give them a good rating with a comment that they are a happy Voiceover user of the app. Regards, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: Stylus or pen of any use for VoiceOver users?
Tara, I doubt it is of much use for a blind person since you don't know exactly where you put the tip of your stylus. Sighted people use them sometimes for drawing, but I don't really know anybody personally how even uses one for typing on an iDevice. I guess if somebody had really huge fingers that it could be of some use.

Is it possible to obtain a 30 pin to USB adapter to use with USB mics on an iPhone, or is it only the pad that has the USB drivers to let this happen? I suppose one obstacle for us might be that the audio output ends up going into the USB and not getting heard unless these adapters can just use the input line. - Original Message - From: mailto:neal.ew...@ravenswood.orgNeal Ewers To: mailto:viphone@googlegroups.comviphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 5:27 PM Subject: Correction to, a Microphone possibility for the iPhone etc. Hi, This may only work on the iPad.

You should just call Megamate at 1-888-634-2628. You can listen to messages, and reply for free, but if you want to talk live you have to pay. I like it.

Re: There should be an app for ...
Try taptapsee. It works as a color identifier as well.

I love the color identifier ideas!! Knowing which colors go together and whether there are spots are pet peeves of mine. Today my color identifier said I was wearing blue and red. When I checked it was half right. It was blue and yellow. No dark on either color which could have been disaster to matching. Thought if I bought a color identifier app it would help, but it did only to a point. Never see updates on these apps either and they are important, not just to us but color blind too. Just an opinion.
