Re: Update for Talking Goggles, was: talking goggles
Hmm, just downloaded the version 1.5 Update. I have the paid version, think it was 0.99 U.S. originally, so this is what was updated for me. I'm happy to say that yes, it did read some text to me. WooHoo! Glad to have my Goggles back. I have Prismo and TapTapSee, but Goggles has really spoiled me when it comes to on the fly recognition. if I want to hear the pitter patter of little feet I'll put shoes on my Dog!

RE: Update for Talking Goggles, was: talking goggles
Hi Esther and Donald, The update just showed up in the app store on my iPhone and I installed it. I am happy to confirm Esther's finding, Talking Goggles did also work again for me and it's back on my first home page next to Tap Tap See. I guess we should all keep in mind that Martijn from Sparkling Apps did say that there were still some instabilities and that they are working on it and hope to have another update soon.

Re: sms to dropbox
Hello, Robert. This is interesting. If I may ask, what have you already tried and found not to work? There are one or two services which look like they do this, I believe there's an Android app, which can provide a place to forward those messages you want to save if you have a cheap android phone, and there is the recently released If This, Then That https://ifttt.com/connect/sms/dropbox which works directly on the iPhone. There are also the SMS by mail services which you can use to forward your messages to a particular number where those messages can, in turn, be sent to an email which saves them to Dropbox. Try Googling SMS to dropbox if you haven't already and see if there's anything you haven't tried. I think this is doable in quite a customized way, so if you'll let us know what issues you've had specifically and what you'd like to do, it may well be possible to resolve them.

Re: iTunes
The question is is why is it bothering my music at all? When I add music I never get a warning that my tones will be removed.

However, you should check Music and then tab until you get to where you can check how your music syncing is setup. First you come to a checkbox called Sync Music. If this is unchecked then you know that is your problem right there. Make sure it is checked. Once this is checked you have 2 choices: You can check to Sync entire music library which is OK if you either have an iPhone with a large storage capacity such as a 64 Gig or if your music library is not that big. If you prefer to not sync all your music, tab one more time and check Sync selected playlists, artists and genres. Albums are not mentioned in the name of that checkbox, but you can also sync specific albums. If you check this checkbox, you can tab some more and you then have 4 treeviews, one with playlists, one with genres, one with artists and one with albums. In each treeview you can arrow down the list and check each item you want to sync by pressing the space bar. You could, for example, select Dire Straits in the Artist treeview and if you had 5 Dire Straits albums, they would all be synced. If you want to only sync maybe Brothers in Arms and Love Over Gold, then don't check Dire Straits in the artist treeview, but tab to the album treeview, find those 2 albums (they are sorted alphabetically) and check then instead. The same applies to most media types, if you check Tones you can check to sync all ringtones or selected ringtones, if you check selected tones, you have to go through your list of tones and check those you want. Same goes for Books, Movies, Apps etc. Once you are done selecting all your music tab to Apply and this will start the sync. When it is done you can then select another type of media like Tones, Apps, Movies, Photos etc. Once you are done getting everything setup the way you want iTunes will remember those settings and all you have to do in the future is connect your phone and select Sync in File, Devices. Keep in mind that if you add new music, tones etc. and you selected to sync only selected items, you might have to find the new things in your list and make sure they are checked before you sync.

Have you ever hooked up this particular iPhone to this particular computer/iTunes installation and, if so, have you ever synced music before? It really doesn't matter if Music is checked or not. If I hooked my iPhone up to your computer and then checked Tones and selected to sync all your Tones, the tones would be on my iPhone but everything else would be gone because iTunes looks at my iPhone and knows that this particular phone has never been synced before with this iTuunes installation hence iTunes makes the phone the same as iTunes and if I had 10,000 songs on my phone before those will be gone. I don't know how else to explain it, but if iTunes erased your music off your phone and warned you that it would do so then that means that either your phone had not been synced with that iTunes installation before or that between the last sync and that one somehow the checkbox to Sync Music had been unchecked. By that I mean not the checkmark for the main Music area which is in that area that starts with Summary, Info, Apps etc., but the Sync Music checkbox which you find after you check the Music category. Anyhow, if the music is in your iTunes library it's really not a big deal, just tell it to resync it.

I have experimented with the main conversation window and hoped one could somehow select and copy an entire conversation, but unless I am missing something, I am not able to do so. I find it easiest to open a conversation, then tap on Edit in the top right and then find the message I want to copy. If you tap on Edit first, once you swipe to the message you want you can just turn the rotor to Edit, swipe down (maybe this is not even needed since Copy seems to be the only selection here) and double tap. Now I can, for example, open a note in the Notes app, once again turn the rotor to Edit and swipe up once to get to paste, double tap and that particular message will be pasted into the Note. If you want to copy a bunch of messages from a conversation this is a pretty tedious process. Let's hope that in iOS 7 there is an easier way to maybe export an entire conversation or send it by email which in my opinion would be a good solution as one could email it to oneself.

Re: sms to dropbox
I found a really good app called, plain text. It syncs very well with dropbox and all I need to do to transfer information from a text message I have received is copy the message and paste into a plain text document and it shows up in my dropbox.

sms to dropbox
I found an answer. I found an app named, plain text by Hog Bay software. It is free but has advertisements. It costs $1.99 to remove ads. The program is very accessible and works well with voiceover. I have asked people to text me their home address for my list of wedding invitations. When they arrive I only need to copy the message, open plain text, double tap new document, change the untitled document name to whatever I wish, open document content and paste. If I have Plain text set to sync automatically with dropbox I first hear dropbox announce the title of the text file and when I update the document content dropbox then announces the update. *** When you give unto others whether or not they give to you in return, It matters not for your job is Complete and your rewards forthcoming. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

I'm stumped about the best way to create appointments as, when I say something like Create an appointment for 10am tomorrow morning, Siri says 'I have created an appointment titled 'Appointment' for 10am tomorrow' and when I then say Change title she asks me for the new title and when I've told her she then seems to not accept it and we're back to square one.

Re: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.
Anna, I too am using for S. But the accurate mode in Fleksy still is extremely inaccurate for me. Often I can't even seem to get a response to the letter I am touching. If I move about on the screen I find I'm deleting my previously typed text. And while I'm looking for letters, even though nothing is spoken, I still find letters are put into the text. Perhaps you, or someone, can offer me some tips as to what I'm doing wrong? Ever hopeful, Sandy.

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.
Hi Lisa and others. Now I have got my aftershokz bluetooth headset, and it is a great headset, when you need to listen to a gps or taking a call while you are walking. The only thing is to get them to fit on my little head, but ok it works. Cheers Annie. Den Jul 13, 2013 kl. 12:06 AM skrev Lisa belville missktlab1...@frontier.com: It depends. The volume of the phone call and voice over is still an issue for me. I try locking the screen as soon as I make a call because VO will announce the name of the person I'm calling and then give me the time elapsed. I've turned off speech completely and have had good results with that. People can understand me just fine, but for me, the reception seems to get distorted and can fade in and out, and this is with the phone in my pocket. The same thing happens if I'm listening to a streaming music station, though. I'm not sure why as the phone is right next to me. I can start walking while the phone is in my pocket and the music breaks up and comes back, so I'm not sure if something is being blocked while the phone is in my pocket or what. There's also a slight delay from the time you issue a command like a swipe or double tap and the time the next app is located or opened. I know some of this is the Bluetooth, but it can get annoying, especially when using both a Bluetooth headset and Keyboard. I'm a fast typist, so this probably doesn't help, either. Over all, I like this headset. Pairing was a breeze, I just turned it on and then went into the Bluetooth portion of the iPhone settings and it was paired automatically. I can switch between off and standby or regular headphones with no problems. Lisa if I want to hear the pitter patter of little feet I'll put shoes on my Dog!

Den Jul 12, 2013 kl. 6:51 PM skrev Lisa belville missktlab1...@frontier.com: Hi. I have the AfterShokz Bluez, which is the Bluetooth version of their sports headphones with mic. You really can hear your surroundings because the headphones fit just in front of your ear leaving the ear uncovered. The headphones are attached to a band that fits over your ears and goes behind your head. They took a bit to get used to, but they're actually quite comfortable and fit well even though they're a loose fit. The controls are quite simple. There's a answer/end call on the left ear that also allows you to use SIRI if you press and hold the button. There's an identical button on the right ear that starts and pauses music. The other functions are on the headband, so you'd need to reach behind your head to access them. There's a micro USB port with a small, flimsy swivel cover, the on/off switch that also doubles as the pairing switch, and a volume rocker switch. I'm not sure about charging out of the US. Mine came with a USB cable that I can connect to a PC or a wall charger. So far, I've just used my wall charger, which is the same one I use for other USB devices. The included cable seems fairly standard and would probably work with other things with a micro USB port. Just ask if you have more questions.

I cleared out the app switcher and still no joy. Finally, I shut down and restarted the phone and the app seemed more responsive with VoiceOver afterwords. Lately the app is getting sluggish again and staying that way despite clearing out the app switcher and powering down and restarting the phone. I should tell you that I'm not using the phone with bluetooth on, and wi-fi is turned off, too. All data coming in is over 3g or is whatever the internal GPS receiver brings in. I really like the app and want to use it as often as I can, but short of upgrading to a newer, faster phone I'm at a loss here. Are there optimal settings which will ensure that I can move freely about the screen without the app or VoiceOver getting hopelessly bogged down? This is puzzling and frustrating me, so any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.
Hi Sandy, I am writing this in Fleksy. I did the salutation with the intentional mode and had a little of your issue I think. After writing the capital S for your name, when I tried to get the a, I had nothing but silence until I tapped and then flicked right and heard the wrong word and found that a letter had been entered that I did not hear. I deleted that word and tried again. The second try worked. The main difference I think between my first and second attempts was that as soon as I touched the correct letter I lifted my finger quickly. Though, having said that I cannot seen to duplicate the issue now that I am in the midst of a lengthy note. This is on an ipod touch 5th generation. I am using Fleksy in portrait mode but I don't know if that really matters. Sorry for the rambling note but I was trying to duplicate your issue and could only partly succeed in doing that.

Entrepreneur Sumit Dagar announced he will be rolling out the world's first Braille cell phone. His company, Kryiate, has drawn up the first prototype. Dagar says that test users found it difficult to imagine dynamic Braille on such a small device at first, then, after using it, were very happy with it. The first-generation Braille cell phone will have some typical smart phone features such as a music player, an e-mail client, a calendar, and even GPS navigation. The Braille display features include a ten character display which can be typed in via a numerical keypad with tactile markings for each of the numbers. The smaller cell display means it doesn't need to be a typical smart phone CPU, keeping the (yet to be announced) price low. Anybody who can afford a phone can afford this phone, Dagar says.

Re: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.
I've seen this problem, two, and the way to minimize it, at least that I have found, is to not slide your finger around on the keyboard when looking for the next letter. Instead, just place your finger as near as possible to the letter, and then lift when you reach the right one. I hope this makes some kind of sense. Basically, you just have to get as close as possible to the letter before sliding to look for it. Anyway, hope this helps.

I did the salutation with the intentional mode and had a little of your issue I think.

I deleted that word and tried again. The second try worked. The main difference I think between my first and second attempts was that as soon as I touched the correct letter I lifted my finger quickly.

Voiceye is being used as a standard by the South Korean government for accessible documents with thousands of applications. I know that large banks all the way to small companies and individuals are making these codes, so I am certain there is something for everyone with Voiceye's solution.

Does anyone have any experience of using this? Is it worth looking into and getting? It sounds very intriguing, but potentially, it could be very complicated too!

RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8
Hi, Chuck. Thanks for the Fleksy update comments. The only thing I'm concerned about is with the change to favorites and its integration with contacts. I have a limited number of contacts that I regularly text or email and I liked having a specific button on the main menu to pick one of them as the recipient of the copied text. Is that still available after the update or is another step required to first select a contact. I'm hoping that favorites already set up in Fleksy still have a dedicated button to send to them.

I usually then try this and I do find that while it might not be in that list, it will usually be the first or among the first in the picker box at the bottom of the screen just above the very bottom row of tabs.

Rakuten Special on iPad Keyboard Dock
Rakuten (formerly Buy.com) has a special today on the Apple iPad Keyboard Dock - MC533LLB for $68.88 with free shipping. I thought that was supposed to be a low price but I just checked Amazon and they have it for $70.65 so maybe not. Amazon lists the retail price at $99.99. I think this may be a one-day only sale at both places. For those interested, here's the Rakuten link to the item: http://www.rakuten.com/prod/apple-ipad-keyboard-dock/221986775.html?ListingI D=278162175 I've been told on other lists that Rakuten's site for ordering is most inaccessible except when doing it using your iDevice and its browser. So those interested in buying from them should launch the above link from their iDevice. Here's a link to the same item at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPad-Keyboard-Dock-Package/dp/B0040HEMP8/ref=sr_ 1_1?s=electronics http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPad-Keyboard-Dock-Package/dp/B0040HEMP8/ref=sr _1_1?s=electronicsie=UTF8qid=1374075806sr=1-1keywords=iPad+keyboard+dock ie=UTF8qid=1374075806sr=1-1keywords=iPad+keyboard+dock That Amazon link is monster long so will no doubt break in this email.

RE: instructions for setting up an iPod
Hi Paul, You will have to manage an iPod Touch exactly the same way as an iPhone, it is basically an iPhone without the phone (and GPS receiver). So, no you can't put music on it from Amazon Cloudplayer, yes, triple click Home should work provided you do it first thing after you take it out of the box and turn it on and as for using iTunes, well, you don't have to use iTunes ever if you just buy music from the iTunes store, but if you want to put music on the iPod from your computer then you can only do so via iTunes. If you have MP3 files from Amazon downloaded to your computer you should be able to put them on the iPod Touch by first adding them to your iTunes library (use File menu, Add Folder to Library, then browse to your folder where the music is stored). Only thing I don't know since I never bought any music from Amazon is whether the MP3 files are somehow protected, if they are not then you can transfer them to your iPod Touch no problem. If you are using Windows 7 and Jaws 14 along with iTunes 11 everything is very accessible. Jonathan's 2-part Podcast about using iTunes 11 with Jaws 14 which you can find at www.FreedomScientific.com/FSCast is a very good resource if you want to become more comfortable with iTunes.

RE: Fleksy, still a major problem for me.
I'm still on the previous Fleksy version but I've seen Sandy's problem sporadically but not nearly to the extent she's experiencing it. I'm using an iPhone 5 and when using the accurate mode to spell out words, I use the approach mentioned by Ari: I place my finger near to where the desired letter is, slide it until VO announces the correct letter, and then lift and move to the next one and repeat. I get occasional glitches but this works correctly almost all of the time.

I've seen this problem, two, and the way to minimize it, at least that I have found, is to not slide your finger around on the keyboard when looking for the next letter. Instead, just place your finger as near as possible to the letter, and then lift when you reach the right one. I hope this makes some kind of sense. Basically, you just have to get as close as possible to the letter before sliding to look for it. Anyway, hope this helps.

I deleted that word and tried again. The second try worked. The main difference I think between my first and second attempts was that as soon as I touched the correct letter I lifted my finger quickly.

RE: instructions for setting up an iPod
Hi Paul, I don't think it changes anything with respect to how you get music onto the device. As far as I know you still have to manage them via iTunes and in some ways maybe even more so than a Touch because I believe you can't install apps on a Nano and definitely not on a Shuffle. Actually, I think the Nano allows for some apps, but since it hasn't got the capabilities of a Touch I don't think you can install just any app. With an iPod Touch at least you could use Dropbox or apps like PhoneDrive or Tonido (there are many more out there) which allow you to tramsfer content from a PC to your device without iTunes. Now, keep in mind that this is not really like copying stuff like you can with a Stream or Booksense and personally I don't like any of these apps except maybe for Dropbox or Skydrive because really you are just syncing content between your computer and that app rather than using iTunes and most of these apps require you to install an app on your computer as well.

So, no you can't put music on it from Amazon Cloudplayer, yes, triple click Home should work provided you do it first thing after you take it out of the box and turn it on and as for using iTunes, well, you don't have to use iTunes ever if you just buy music from the iTunes store, but if you want to put music on the iPod from your computer then you can only do so via iTunes. If you have MP3 files from Amazon downloaded to your computer you should be able to put them on the iPod Touch by first adding them to your iTunes library (use File menu, Add Folder to Library, then browse to your folder where the music is stored). Only thing I don't know since I never bought any music from Amazon is whether the MP3 files are somehow protected, if they are not then you can transfer them to your iPod Touch no problem. If you are using Windows 7 and Jaws 14 along with iTunes 11 everything is very accessible. Jonathan's 2-part Podcast about using iTunes 11 with Jaws 14 which you can find at www.FreedomScientific.com/FSCast is a very good resource if you want to become more comfortable with iTunes.

I cleared out the app switcher and still no joy. Finally, I shut down and restarted the phone and the app seemed more responsive with VoiceOver afterwords. Lately the app is getting sluggish again and staying that way despite clearing out the app switcher and powering down and restarting the phone. I should tell you that I'm not using the phone with bluetooth on, and wi-fi is turned off, too. All data coming in is over 3g or is whatever the internal GPS receiver brings in. I really like the app and want to use it as often as I can, but short of upgrading to a newer, faster phone I'm at a loss here. Are there optimal settings which will ensure that I can move freely about the screen without the app or VoiceOver getting hopelessly bogged down? This is puzzling and frustrating me, so any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

RE: talking goggles update
Hi David, I am still keeping this on the list since others may find this helpful as well. One thing that would be useful is if you could exactly explain what your difficulty with the app is. The app is super simple, either use it in still camera mode or video mode, whichever you pick (you select this at the bottom right) the button to take the picture or to start and stop recording is just above the home key. Apart from that the only other things you can do is turn the flash on or off at the top left, it will say Flash if it is on and FlashOff if it is off. On the top right you can change the language, but it should be on English by default which I assume is what you want. If you selected Still Camera there is one more button called Gallery on the bottom left which gives you access to an album the app creates in your Photos app and where any pictures you take are stored. You can, however, tell the app not to save any photos in the Settings. This button is not there if you selected video mode since it does not save any video. Lastly, there are 3 Settings which you have to access via the main Settings app on your iPhone. Here is where you can toggle Saved Captured Images. Second setting is whether you want the app to use its own voice to speak or not, I recommend to leave this On which is the default. Last is Performance, you can have this on Fast, Balanced or Best. Balanced is the default and I find it works well for me. Personally I think this app shines in video mode since it will do OCR on the fly, but of course you have to practice and make sure you hold your phone still and play around with distances. My rule of thumb is that I hold the phone about 6 inches away from a small package, maybe something that is about 4 to 6 inches. If you are using it on something larger like a cereal box you might want to be at least a foot away. If you are using it in video mode you have to hold it still for at least 5 seconds or a bit longer before you get any feedback. Like I said, if you have any more questions please explain what the issue is so I can try and reproduce it.

Fleksy Voiceover responsiveness on the keyboard
Changed subject to match my point.. Hi! Sandy, I know what you mean. That happens to me all the time as well. I thought it was me doing something wrong. I tried ARI's way by putting my finger where the letter may be and then slide and lift, but it works sometimes. I still happen to delete my text and make mistakes like you described. I like Fleksy, but I just wish they would make voiceover more responsive on the keyboard and that would be good for me. I know that the fleksy app is supposed to make a wild guess on what you are trying to type. I also understand that if the keyboard was more spoken, there would be no different in the on screen keyboard and the fleksy because we slide and lift on touch typing anyways. You know what I mean? But anyways, I would try to play around more with this suggestion.

I'm using an iPhone 5 and when using the accurate mode to spell out words, I use the approach mentioned by Ari: I place my finger near to where the desired letter is, slide it until VO announces the correct letter, and then lift and move to the next one and repeat.

Entrepreneur Sumit Dagar announced he will be rolling out the world's first Braille cell phone. His company, Kryiate, has drawn up the first prototype. Dagar says that test users found it difficult to imagine dynamic Braille on such a small device at first, then, after using it, were very happy with it. The first-generation Braille cell phone will have some typical smart phone features such as a music player, an e-mail client, a calendar, and even GPS navigation. The Braille display features include a ten character display which can be typed in via a numerical keypad with tactile markings for each of the numbers. The smaller cell display means it doesn't need to be a typical smart phone CPU, keeping the (yet to be announced) price low. Anybody who can afford a phone can afford this phone, Dagar says.

RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8
Hi Alan, I think you can safely go ahead and upgrade if you like the Favorites list the way it was. I just tried this and while Fleksy will ask you to allow access to your contacts, I would call it sort of pseudo integration because you still have to initially go into Settings and add people to your Favorites list. The only difference is that if you go to Settings in the app and then to Settings and Setup Favorites which is the first option, you then get your list of Favorites, you select one and then select that person's email or mobile number depending on whether you usually email or text them. If you want the option to both email and text them you have to add them twice. After you are done you can then type some text, after you do a 2-finger swipe up to bring up the menu, you select Favorites and here you now see the list of people you added, it will read their name followed by either email or phone number. If you pick somebody with an email address it will open the mail app and their address will be filled in, your text is in the message body and the subject in the subject line if you typed a subject followed by an enter as your first line of text. All you have to do is tap Send. I guess I shouldn't call it pseudo integration since it is a Favorites list and not direct access to Contacts. I will maybe suggest they add a Contacts button as well in the menu which would then directly bring up the Contacts and it would allow you to select a contact, then select either their email or mobile number and then start the mail app or messages app accordingly. This way you could pick somebody you haven't added to your Favorites list although I guess you can simply choose email or message and then do that in the app. Anyhow, only difference is that you don't have to type in all your contacts separated by a comma in the settings, having access to your Contacts this way allows you to more easily manage your Favorites list. Keep in mind that if you upgrade any Contacts you manually typed in before will be gone, you are starting out with a blank Favorites list and first have to go to Settings, Manage Favorites and add them. The nice thing is that it will first say the person's name before it says their email or phone number, I believe before you just had a list of numbers and you had to know the number in order to select it.

Re: Update for Talking Goggles, was: talking goggles
Hi. Many of us have had more luck with the video option. Just double tap the record button, and you should hear a beep to let you know the app is working. Now hold the back facing camera so it's facing something you want recognized, be sure the camera is several inches away and try holding it still for at least 30 seconds. The image including the text is sent off to a server someplace, so the recognition isn't instantaneous. If you don't get a response, try shifting the camera a bit or moving the object in question. For a box or bag, try turning it over or repositioning it in case the label isn't available. HTH Lisa if I want to hear the pitter patter of little feet I'll put shoes on my Dog!

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.
I understand completely. smiles They fit behind my ears Okay, but I've given up on getting them to fit exactly across the back of my head. They sort of droop down like a backwards blouse so they're almost touching the back of my neck between my shoulders. I have long hair, and even in a pony tail this can get a little annoying, but I'm used to it. I've moved in all kinds of directions while wearing them just to try to knock them off, including bending down to harness and pick up after my dog and while the headphones shift some on my face, they've never come off or even came close to sliding out of place.

The volume of the phone call and voice over is still an issue for me. I try locking the screen as soon as I make a call because VO will announce the name of the person I'm calling and then give me the time elapsed. I've turned off speech completely and have had good results with that. People can understand me just fine, but for me, the reception seems to get distorted and can fade in and out, and this is with the phone in my pocket. The same thing happens if I'm listening to a streaming music station, though. I'm not sure why as the phone is right next to me. I can start walking while the phone is in my pocket and the music breaks up and comes back, so I'm not sure if something is being blocked while the phone is in my pocket or what. There's also a slight delay from the time you issue a command like a swipe or double tap and the time the next app is located or opened. I know some of this is the Bluetooth, but it can get annoying, especially when using both a Bluetooth headset and Keyboard. I'm a fast typist, so this probably doesn't help, either. Over all, I like this headset. Pairing was a breeze, I just turned it on and then went into the Bluetooth portion of the iPhone settings and it was paired automatically.

You really can hear your surroundings because the headphones fit just in front of your ear leaving the ear uncovered. The headphones are attached to a band that fits over your ears and goes behind your head. They took a bit to get used to, but they're actually quite comfortable and fit well even though they're a loose fit. The controls are quite simple. There's a answer/end call on the left ear that also allows you to use SIRI if you press and hold the button. There's an identical button on the right ear that starts and pauses music. The other functions are on the headband, so you'd need to reach behind your head to access them. There's a micro USB port with a small, flimsy swivel cover, the on/off switch that also doubles as the pairing switch, and a volume rocker switch. I'm not sure about charging out of the US. Mine came with a USB cable that I can connect to a PC or a wall charger. So far, I've just used my wall charger, which is the same one I use for other USB devices.

Entrepreneur Sumit Dagar announced he will be rolling out the world's first Braille cell phone. His company, Kryiate, has drawn up the first prototype. Dagar says that test users found it difficult to imagine dynamic Braille on such a small device at first, then, after using it, were very happy with it. The first-generation Braille cell phone will have some typical smart phone features such as a music player, an e-mail client, a calendar, and even GPS navigation. The Braille display features include a ten character display which can be typed in via a numerical keypad with tactile markings for each of the numbers. The smaller cell display means it doesn't need to be a typical smart phone CPU, keeping the (yet to be announced) price low. Anybody who can afford a phone can afford this phone, Dagar says.

Den Jul 12, 2013 kl. 6:51 PM skrev Lisa belville missktlab1...@frontier.com: Hi. I have the AfterShokz Bluez, which is the Bluetooth version of their sports headphones with mic. You really can hear your surroundings because the headphones fit just in front of your ear leaving the ear uncovered. The headphones are attached to a band that fits over your ears and goes behind your head. They took a bit to get used to, but they're actually quite comfortable and fit well even though they're a loose fit. The controls are quite simple. There's a answer/end call on the left ear that also allows you to use SIRI if you press and hold the button. There's an identical button on the right ear that starts and pauses music. The other functions are on the headband, so you'd need to reach behind your head to access them. There's a micro USB port with a small, flimsy swivel cover, the on/off switch that also doubles as the pairing switch, and a volume rocker switch. I'm not sure about charging out of the US. Mine came with a USB cable that I can connect to a PC or a wall charger. So far, I've just used my wall charger, which is the same one I use for other USB devices. The included cable seems fairly standard and would probably work with other things with a micro USB port. Just ask if you have more questions.

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.
Well, I didn't get them specifically for music. They sound Okay, but only if I'm using them while just sitting waiting or not wanting good sound quality. They do feel odd if I've got them turned up as they vibrate even at low volume, and the higher volume increases the vibration on the sides of my face that actually tickles and then gets really annoying after a while. I can hear them just fine, but at first I did have to fiddle with the VO volume, the headphone volume, and the volume switches on the phone to strike a balance, though because they're all independent of each other. I can hear the GPS and conversation around me, though I need to concentrate more on each individual element just as I would when using and external device.

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.
I thought the plastic straps were stabilizers if you didn't like how the headphones fitted as is. Not sure about the additional 3.5 cable as there's no where on the headphones to insert any other cables unless I'm mistaken. if I want to hear the pitter patter of little feet I'll put shoes on my Dog!

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.
Not yet, and I doubt if I will. The strap feels like a very short rubber band that I think would make the head band to tight. I can't even figure how they fit on, though I can feel two ridges on each wide part of the strap that probably correspond to the left and right side of the headband, so it's just a matter of affixing the strap to the headband or headphones and stretching them. if I want to hear the pitter patter of little feet I'll put shoes on my Dog!

Plantronics M 55
Did anyone else purchase this Bluetooth your piece? I am having one heck of a time with it. You are supposed to touch the outside housing to answer or end a call. When I do that, I hear my own surroundings echoing back to me, but not the person on the other end of the call. They do hear me. I have contacted Plantronics twice now. They first instructed me to reset all wireless on my iPhone five. The second call was cut off. I can't believe there is a malfunction in just this part of the your piece. Otherwise, it is a very nice device. It was relatively inexpensive and does great with understanding Siri and dictation. It is very lightweight and comfortable. It does come with that vocalist service, which I would certainly not invest in other than the first year free. I do not even use it for free. If anyone has suggestions what could be going on, it will be most appreciated. This is the type of device without a real button; rather, you press on the outer housing to activate a button. One tap is to answer or end a call. Thanks all for any suggestions! Eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

DocScanner Pro OCR app
Hi all, DocScanner Pro by Haave Oy just got released: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/docscanner-pro/id669943429?mt=8 Before anyone gets excited, I'm pretty sure this app is not going to be your OCR app of choice, but it's a new app from the people who developed the SayText app, and it's free today. And it's not so much that the app doesn't have labeled controls, as that the layout and workflow are not particularly conveniently set out for our use, and there is meant to be some interactive adjustment steps, although the app tries to automatically detect edges. The main reason for posting this is so that Sandy and other list members who explore lots of OCR apps can get this to play with it while it's free. SayText, although not so easy to use unless you had already mastered freehand OCR apps with apps like Prizmo, amazingly produced reasonable results at very low light levels if you managed to hold the iPhone camera flat, steady, and aligned at the correct height (which is higher than for most OCR apps, since the app tries to automatically detect the edges of pages.) This app does handle different languages, and there is an instructions guide at the very end of the Settings screen (use four finger tap on bottom half of screen to move there). I havent't really gotten this working at all yet, but it seems to have more possibilities than the earlier DocScanner app from these folks. Not sure whether this will be usable. HTH.

Re: Rakuten Special on iPad Keyboard Dock
Alan and Others, Be aware that the iPad Keyboard Dock was released for the original, first generation iPad. It's a hardware keyboard that will support VoiceOver keyboard navigation, but you'd have to connect it using a dock extension cable for anything other than the original iPad, or the iPhone 3GS or third generation iPod Touch, which can be docked directly if the bottom half of the device isn't in a case. This is not really a portable solution. Oddly enough, Logitech has started making wired Keyboards for the iPad that connect through either a lightning connector or old 30-pin connector, for iPad classroom use. I don't know whether VoiceOver audio is maintained when the keyboard is connected this way -- it probably is, so that students can hear the audio from their apps. HTH.

Re: Plantronics M 55
Hi Eric, I have the plantronics m165 ear piece and since I upgraded to the iPhone 5I have had the same problem. When it was on the four s I had absolutely no issues with it and it worked great, now the only thing it won't do is work with the phone. I contacted apple and they scratched their head and thought it might be some problem with the iPhone 5and the way it routes calls but in truth I don't think they had a clue, I also went to vodaphone and got even less help their. Hopefully you get a answer, as when I posted a similar question I got no replies at all. Good luck and I hope there is a cure for this problem.

I have contacted Plantronics twice now. They first instructed me to reset all wireless on my iPhone five. The second call was cut off. I can't believe there is a malfunction in just this part of the your piece. Otherwise, it is a very nice device. It was relatively inexpensive and does great with understanding Siri and dictation. It is very lightweight and comfortable. It does come with that vocalist service, which I would certainly not invest in other than the first year free. I do not even use it for free.

Re: Experience with Nest Thermostat app accessibility
Brad, The app is free to install. I installed and played with it earlier this year. It pretty much sucked. I contacted them about it and got quite a rude reply. Essentially they told me that they had no plans to address accessibility. I would suggest that you install the app and create an account to determine if any changes have been made over the past few iterations and determine for yourself.

RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8
Sieghard, many thanks for this detailed overview of the upgrade. I also wrote Fleksy Support with some questions about the upgrade. They said that favorites set up in a prior version would automatically be imported into the new version. Sounds like your experience with this was different. No matter since I've decided to stay with the older version and not upgrade at this time. The program is doing what I need at a good rate of speed and I don't want to give up the dedicated send buttons to my favorites which are currently located on the main menu screen. Alan Lemly -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 1:03 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Fleksy Update - Version 1.8 Hi Alan, I think you can safely go ahead and upgrade if you like the Favorites list the way it was. I just tried this and while Fleksy will ask you to allow access to your contacts, I would call it sort of pseudo integration because you still have to initially go into Settings and add people to your Favorites list. The only difference is that if you go to Settings in the app and then to Settings and Setup Favorites which is the first option, you then get your list of Favorites, you select one and then select that person's email or mobile number depending on whether you usually email or text them. If you want the option to both email and text them you have to add them twice. After you are done you can then type some text, after you do a 2-finger swipe up to bring up the menu, you select Favorites and here you now see the list of people you added, it will read their name followed by either email or phone number. If you pick somebody with an email address it will open the mail app and their address will be filled in, your text is in the message body and the subject in the subject line if you typed a subject followed by an enter as your first line of text. All you have to do is tap Send. I guess I shouldn't call it pseudo integration since it is a Favorites list and not direct access to Contacts. I will maybe suggest they add a Contacts button as well in the menu which would then directly bring up the Contacts and it would allow you to select a contact, then select either their email or mobile number and then start the mail app or messages app accordingly. This way you could pick somebody you haven't added to your Favorites list although I guess you can simply choose email or message and then do that in the app. Anyhow, only difference is that you don't have to type in all your contacts separated by a comma in the settings, having access to your Contacts this way allows you to more easily manage your Favorites list. Keep in mind that if you upgrade any Contacts you manually typed in before will be gone, you are starting out with a blank Favorites list and first have to go to Settings, Manage Favorites and add them. The nice thing is that it will first say the person's name before it says their email or phone number, I believe before you just had a list of numbers and you had to know the number in order to select it.

trouble putting together Blueant T2
Hi there. I was dumb and bought the Blueant T2 earpiece. I'm sure glad I only paid around $20 for it on 1saleaday, not necessarily because of the sound quality or features, but the rubber tip and hook don't go on easy at all. In fact, I asked my dad to help me put it back on, and he didn't remember how he got it when we first set it up. I used it about 3 times before I pulled the hook to get it over my ear, just a little too far, and the tip and hook flew off. How can I get the little rubber tip on this thing, since it doesn't just slip on?

Re: blueant bluetooth q3
Hi Joanne,, If you plan on using the BlueAnt Q3 with an iPhone 5, make sure that you get feedback from someone who has applied the latest firmware update. The initial reviews all cited problems with dropped calls and bizarre sounds when this model was paired with the iPhone 5, only (not with the iPhone 4 or 4S). A number of manufacturers have had to do firmware releases because of the way Bluetooth functions were implemented in the iPhone 5. Reviews of the Q3 model with the new firmware are quite recent -- only two weeks ago for the Cult of the Mac, for example. The U.S. Amazon site has a review from someone who bought this model in April, on the strength of his previous experience with the BlueAnt Q2, and returned it because of the BlueTooth performance (with a note that he fully expected to get this again when the new firmware was released.) BlueAnt firmware updates are straightforward, but are only available on the Windows platform, despite the fact they've been stating they have Mac versions in preparation for over 3 years. Jawbone has frequent firmware updates, and a Mac version of the updated, but their MyTalk web site has pretty bad accessibility, and I would just advise you to get sighted assistance if you have to use it. I'll let you hear from current users of these products. HTH.

Re: trouble putting together Blueant T2
Hi Joanne and Brent, There is a BlueAnt T2 model with a different ear hook design. This is the successor to the T1, is designed for high wind noise conditions and ruggedized, and most reviews I've read by people who have used the Q2 rate this below their experience with the Q2, especially in wearing comfort. I've only tried the BlueAnt Q1, which uses the same ear hook design as the Q2 and Q3, and found that more comfortable (for me) than the Jawbone (older Icon model). I think the Jawbone models get longer talk times, though. Sorry I can't help with ear hook replacement suggestions. The BlueAnt web site has pretty extensive manuals, though, so if you get sighted help with reading through the user guides, you may be able to get this back in working order. HTH.

Re: Question about OOTunes and Tunein Radio
Hi Marcos; I use ooTunes and, as long as I backed up my iPhone to my PC., I never lost any of my favorites. Hope this helps.

Re: blueant bluetooth q3
I ordered one and returned it because I got the Aftershokz. I read some good reviews, but someone on the list said that they read that it had problems with the iPhone 5. Supposedly Blueant was going to release a firmware upgrade. This was a few months ago, so hopefully whatever problems there were have been resolved.

Re: Question about the aftershokz headphones.
I love them. I use the tension band because I guess i have a wierd shaped head. I like the sound quality, and you can raise or lower the volume either with the volume buttons on the phone, or the volume control on the back of the head band.

Hi Lisa and others. Now I have got my aftershokz bluetooth headset, and it is a great headset, when you need to listen to a gps or taking a call while you are walking. The only thing is to get them to fit on my little head, but ok it works. Cheers Annie. Den Jul 13, 2013 kl. 12:06 AM skrev Lisa belville missktlab1...@frontier.com: It depends. The volume of the phone call and voice over is still an issue for me. I try locking the screen as soon as I make a call because VO will announce the name of the person I'm calling and then give me the time elapsed. I've turned off speech completely and have had good results with that. People can understand me just fine, but for me, the reception seems to get distorted and can fade in and out, and this is with the phone in my pocket. The same thing happens if I'm listening to a streaming music station, though. I'm not sure why as the phone is right next to me. I can start walking while the phone is in my pocket and the music breaks up and comes back, so I'm not sure if something is being blocked while the phone is in my pocket or what. There's also a slight delay from the time you issue a command like a swipe or double tap and the time the next app is located or opened. I know some of this is the Bluetooth, but it can get annoying, especially when using both a Bluetooth headset and Keyboard. I'm a fast typist, so this probably doesn't help, either. Over all, I like this headset. Pairing was a breeze, I just turned it on and then went into the Bluetooth portion of the iPhone settings and it was paired automatically. I can switch between off and standby or regular headphones with no problems. Lisa if I want to hear the pitter patter of little feet I'll put shoes on my Dog!

Den Jul 12, 2013 kl. 6:51 PM skrev Lisa belville missktlab1...@frontier.com: Hi. I have the AfterShokz Bluez, which is the Bluetooth version of their sports headphones with mic. You really can hear your surroundings because the headphones fit just in front of your ear leaving the ear uncovered. The headphones are attached to a band that fits over your ears and goes behind your head. They took a bit to get used to, but they're actually quite comfortable and fit well even though they're a loose fit. The controls are quite simple. There's a answer/end call on the left ear that also allows you to use SIRI if you press and hold the button. There's an identical button on the right ear that starts and pauses music. The other functions are on the headband, so you'd need to reach behind your head to access them. There's a micro USB port with a small, flimsy swivel cover, the on/off switch that also doubles as the pairing switch, and a volume rocker switch. I'm not sure about charging out of the US. Mine came with a USB cable that I can connect to a PC or a wall charger. So
Some Items Lost During A Backup/Restore
Hi all, Because of some problems I was having with my iPhone 5, Verizon replaced it with a new unit. I created a backup of my original iPhone with iTunes and then restored the backup to the new iPhone. I noticed that a number of items did not restore to the new iPhone. Some documents I created using purchased apps got lost, some music did not make it and I lost an app entirely. To create the backup, I simply went to file devices backup. I then connected the new iPhone and selected file devices restore. Did I miss something? Any help is greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, the app I lost is called Bluetooth X. It's one of my favorite and most used apps. I tried to find it on the app store but it's no longer there. If anyone can suggest a similar app or has a copy of Bluetooth X they could send me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
