Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
That's great in theory, but all the apps I've tried have a nasty habit of breaking lines in the middle of words, which is really irritating.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
The fact that the bard app won't read brf files, with VoiceOver, , as can some of the commercial players, is one of the very few disappointments to me about this app. It seems that it would be so easy to include a braille translation table in it, and let VoiceOver read them. But they just don't seem to be interested, at least for now. One can use a braille display with it, and apparently it works very well. They said that, at this time, they were only trying to emulate their advanced player with the audio portion. I very easily can do everything with it that I can do with my advanced player. I love this app, despite the fact that I still have to use my stream to read brf files.

Re: battery drainage found problem
I definitely think that locking the screen helps. I have my phone set not to lock automatically, preferring to be in control of when it locks. However, if I go away, come back in an hour or so, and discover that I forgot to lock it, the battery definitely is lower than it would have been if I had locked it. This is true, even having the brightness at zero.

First off thanks to everyone that sent in suggestions about how to fix my battery drainage issue. Well I found the problem but now I'm stumped again and could use some suggestions on how this possibly could be fixed. Here is what I discovered today since I have been keeping an eye on what's up with my phone and the battery. After a nice dead phone and then a full charge I unplugged the phone today and headed out at 7:20 yesterday morning and by 9:30, 2 hours later it was still sitting at 99%. Lets say maybe around noon I dropped to 95%. That's totally awesome and what I'm use to my phone being like. Ok, so, get back home and we our connected back to our wifi and here's where we discovered the problem. When I am connected to wifi it's killing my battery. It's dropping maybe 5 to 10% every few minutes. So we double checked to see if in actually was the wifi so I now have wifi off and when I did the battery was sitting at 78% that was maybe around midnight. It is now 4 in the morning and my battery is sitting at 76%. So I'm pretty sure now that it is wifi that is killing my battery all of a sudden. Does anyone have any ideas on how or why this might be? keep in mind that this is probably the same issue on the phone I had until recent. Two different phones, two different carriers.at a lost now.

I’ve listened to hours of audiobooks via the audible app and only lose a few percentage points on my battery life. The same goes for listening to music stored on the device. Of course, streaming audio causes the battery to drain faster.

Schwans ap revisited
Hi all. So, I've logged in, but, how do I actually shop the catalog. All ICR coupons or deals or specials. Has anyone had any luck figuring this out? Kind of disappointed, as I was really looking forward to this app. I even called a few weeks before it was out and asked if they need anyone to beta test it who used voice over. And no response until it came out. Well, no response then except the app coming out. I know someone has touched on this app or writing about it before, but I hadn't tried it, and had lost the messages. So if anyone could help or give me any pointers I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Podcast about Downcast and how to find information, was: Help Needed to Learn And Use Downcast
Hi Wren, A quick Google search for Downcast on Applevis brought up a bunch of results. The third search result said the following: Take Your Favorite Podcasts on the Road: Downcast for ... Feb 2, 2012 - In this approximately 30-minute show, Allison Hilliker and Darrell Shandrow demonstrate searching for, subscribing to and playing podcasts ... Here is the direct link to the Applevis page where you find the link to download/play the Podcast: http://www.applevis.com/podcast/episodes/take-your-favorite-podcasts-road-do wncast-ios Just for your information, it is super easy to do a Google search for a particular app and show results from either iTunes (if you simply want to find an app description, price etc.) or to see if a particular app has a review or Podcast on Applevis. All you have to do is type in the app name followed by on iTunes or on Applevis. It is also very easy to review the list of search results if you use Jaws. I assume other screenreaders have similar quick navigation keys for navigating the internet, but I will explain it from a Jaws perspective. Basically once you typed your search and pressed enter, you can easily find the search results by going to the top of the page with Control+Home, then use 2 to jump to the first Heading Level 2 on the page, it is called Search Results. Since it is the first heading on the page, the generic quick nav key h for Heading will also take you there. Now you can go from search result to search result by using 3 for Heading Level 3 or, once again, you can also just use the generic h. Each search result is numbered (usually 10 per page) and the first line which is the one that is numbered gives you a brief indication on what the particular result is all about. In my example above, it is the one that says Take Your Favorite Podcasts on the Road: Downcast for ... Then you get a line which usually indicates the URL of the website where the link will take you, in my example it is www.applevis.com. There may be some other links given, but lastly you always find another one or 2 lines with a more detailed description, once again in my example this is the following: Feb 2, 2012 - In this approximately 30-minute show, Allison Hilliker and Darrell Shandrow demonstrate searching for, subscribing to and playing podcasts ... Now you know that this search result is about a Podcast and not simply an app review, you can arrow back up to the link for that search result, press enter on it and get directly to the page where you want to be. In many cases it is just as quick to find what you are looking for this way rather than writing an email and the advantage of course is that you have your answer instantly, you can listen to the Podcast, download the episode or bookmark the page for later reading. If your question was about what a particular app does or what it costs, you can easily find apps this way, just try it, for example, by searching for Downcast on iTunes. When you do a search like that Heading Level 2 will usually take you to an ad about iTunes or the App Store in general and it will say something like Ad related to Downcast on iTunes followed by some links. Just do another 2 or h to get to the next heading level 2 which once again takes you to the start of the search results. Now 3 or H will take you to the first search result, if you search for Downcast on iTunes you will get the following: Downcast for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/downcast/id393858566?mt=8 Rating: 4.5 - 2,353 votes - US$1.99 - iOS Aug 28, 2013 - Description. Download and listen to your favorite podcasts directly from your iOS device without the need to sync with iTunes. Downcast Is the ... As you can see, there is a lot of information just in the search result without even going to the link. I can see the price, the date it shows is actually the date the app was last updated and it is followed by a brief description. If I wanted to read the full description I can just press enter on the search result, it will take me to the app store page and once again by using the heading hot keys I can quickly find the description.Regards, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Finger Position On MBraille Keyboard
Hello, With MBraille, I have changed my settings to the away layout mode and have changed or toggled on switch dots 1-4 and 3-6. This way when the phone's screen is facing away from you, your ring fingers are touching dots 1-4, the middle fingers touching dots 2-5, and the index fingers touching dots 3-6. Once you perfect the learning curve, I don't think you will look back. This app is awesome and I rarely use the native keyboard on the phone to do any text input. HTH.

How to easily find information about apps on Applevis and iTunes/the App Store using Google
Hello Listers, For the Google savvy crowd this message may cover old ground, but when I answered Wren's question on how to find a Podcast on Downcast, I found myself starting to explain a bit on how to easily find this sort of information and while this isn't strictly iOS related, I thought I do a separate post with a more appropriate subject line. I hope this may benefit some of the people on the list who are new computer users or simply don't have as much experience using google and the Internet. I simply pasted the message below, it starts specifically with how I found the link to the Downcast Podcast on Applevis, but then goes more into how you do this using Google: A quick Google search for Downcast on Applevis brought up a bunch of results.

No need to unlock the device, jump to the app switcher and bring up my BARD Mobile app to start reading again. The fact that it's a physical button, and I can just pause/play my reading by hitting a physical button while the Booksense is in my pocket, is also a plus. I know it's not that hard to get the BARD Mobile app to start reading again, but it is convenient to have a device dedicated to my book reading and being only one button away from reading. I also think the booksense is a bit lighter and easier to carry around. I can operate it's buttons while it's in my pocket. I also have a lanyard, so I can just hang it from my neck.

Its been my experience that iPhone apps are fine in a pinch, but when you want reliability without sacrificing battery life, its better to have the extra devices on hand.

Re: Battery usage with Audible app.
Your estimate for stand alone GPS devices 2 to 4 hours is way off the mark. I personally own3 stand alone units and 2 of them deliver 8 hours of continuous use and one with an extra long life battery can deliver even longer usage time. Stand alone GPS systems for the blind update their maps every few years. I have a GPS app on my iPhone as well. However, when your using a GPS where the maps are not resident on the device, it's an accident waiting to happen. Get into an area where there is no cell signal and there goes your GPS. With a stand alone GPS for the blind, you won't have that problem. I also understand that people are all different and just because I can is a common thing today. So, I choose to have both at hand. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents? Act now! Move out. Get a job.

One would have thought, apps like audible podcast, music and that will take up the same amount of battery. Then, you have other apps, e.g. GPS apps that could run in the background, or use location services, that could also take up the reasonable amount of battery as well. Yes, indeed, like Christopher said, one can also use different device for different task. That could help saving your battery. However, if you do that, what is the need for having an iPhone or iPad? you might just get an EReader, daisy player, cheap phone that able you to phone and text, stand alone gps unit, etc. Bare in mind though, average stand alone gps unit could last you somewhare around 2 to 4 hours, Average low cost phone could have around 1 or 2 weeks stand by time, a daisy player could last you about 10 to 16 hours battery per charge, and well, you might get lots more hours from a EReader. At the end of the day, you will still having battery issue regardless of what device you use. Its all about how you use it. The way i preserve my battery is by making sure i close all the unnecesarry apps and remove them from the app switcher and having my screen brightness to 0% Also, if my battery gets rediculously low, like below 10% for example, i usually have my device on fly mode.

Its been my experience that iPhone apps are fine in a pinch, but when you want reliability without sacrificing battery life, its better to have the extra devices on hand.

Yes, indeed, like Christopher said, one can also use different device for different task. That could help saving your battery. However, if you do that, what is the need for having an iPhone or iPad? you might just get an EReader, daisy player, cheap phone that able you to phone and text, stand alone gps unit, etc. Bare in mind though, average stand alone gps unit could last you somewhare around 2 to 4 hours, Average low cost phone could have around 1 or 2 weeks stand by time, a daisy player could last you about 10 to 16 hours battery per charge, and well, you might get lots more hours from a EReader.

Re: Features of the 5S and 5C
I don't think developers have to support anything but the latest version of IOS. From what I can tell, Apple doesn't support anything but the latest version of IOS. There are different screen sizes now, and of course there's the iPads as well as the iPhones/iPods but I don't know what's involved in programming for these different screen sizes . either way, I don't hear of any discussion of fragmentation in the IOS arena, and even if there was some fragmentation, it doesn't even begin to compare to the fragmentation in the Android sector, where you have multiple versions out there and so many form factor options.

There may yet be few uses of NFC here in North America, but they are slowly increasing and once Apple puts a NFC chip in the iPhone this could give the technology a bit of a boost although I also feel there are still security volnerabilities which need to be addressed before I’d trust it completely. It is interesting how Apple often introduces something new and how then said feature or technological advance is played down by the media. Then within a year or so Android and others quietly come out with their version of same feature/technology. I think SIRI was a good example for this and I would be very surprised if we didn’t see high-end Android phones suddenly having fingerprint sensors very soon. Just as SIRI was a big incentive for me to upgrade, Touch ID is probably at the top of the list for me this time along with the faster performance. I believe the iPhone 5C and 5S will be extremely successful for Apple once again just as the 5 was which nobody really thought. With the 4S Apple put out a true world phone and I feel that this is more true for the 5C and 5S again as it was for the iPhone 5 last year. Furthermore, there are a lot of iPhone 4 and 4S and even some 3GS users out there who I think will most definitely upgrade. These people especially if they come from the 3GS or 4 will be extremely happy with how fast the iPhone will be and with the quality of the pictures. The Nokia Lumia 1020 may have a 41 Megapixel camera and by a few might be touted as the gold standard in camera phones, but it would be interesting to read an objective review and comparison of the 2 in terms of picture quality and camera features. After everything is said and done I will most likely upgrade although it is a bit disappointing that I will have to wait for the initial in-store release to order my shiny new 5S since Apple is not offering 5S preorders and I live in a very small and remote community where the closest Apple Store is in Vancouver which by road is a 12-hour drive or a 1.5 hour flight and I don’t want it bad enough to fly to Vancouver to stand in line on Friday morning next week!

iPhone 5S case
I need to make a correction on what I said yesterday or the day before. I said that it looks like the 5S comes with a leather case. The leather case for the 5S will set you back 39 bucks USD. It's easy today to spend that much and more for a phone case and so $39 doesn't sound bad. It is available in various colors. Obviously sense the 5S does as well.

Re: Finger Position On MBraille Keyboard
MBraille is pretty much my go to keyboardd. I like away mode with the dots in the regular mode reflective of a braille keyboard.

I use the away layout, but I leave dots 1 3 and 4 6 in the default position so my index fingers are on 1 and 3, which is the same fingers used on all braille keyboards.

TuneIn Radio and college football
Just a note to say that TuneIn Radio is fabulous for college football. I first searched for UCLA football and found their network, which works great. I then searched for Stanford football and found their network. Both play very nicely. I found what looks like Alabama's home station and will try that when the Alabama game starts later today.

In addition to what Eric says below about the battery consumption, I also like just being able to pick up my Booksense, and by pressing just one button, start reading a book right where I left off. No need to unlock the device, jump to the app switcher and bring up my BARD Mobile app to start reading again. The fact that it's a physical button, and I can just pause/play my reading by hitting a physical button while the Booksense is in my pocket, is also a plus. I know it's not that hard to get the BARD Mobile app to start reading again, but it is convenient to have a device dedicated to my book reading and being only one button away from reading. I also think the booksense is a bit lighter and easier to carry around. I can operate it's buttons while it's in my pocket. I also have a lanyard, so I can just hang it from my neck. Would I go out and buy a Booksense if I already had an iPhone and the BARD Mobile app? I'm not sure, but I do know that I'll be using both my iPhone and my Booksense to read BARD books once I get my hands on the BARD Mobile app. On 09/13/2013 02:57 PM, eric oyen wrote: there are advantages to using a separate device. Chief among these is battery life on the iPhone. Playing media sucks down battery like an old drunk on a bender. Its the same with other apps that have discrete devices (trekker breeze, color detector and barcode reader). all of these devices are specially designed for that one task. Its been my experience that iPhone apps are fine in a pinch, but when you want reliability without sacrificing battery life, its better to have the extra devices on hand. Sure, its convenient to have all your functions and technology in one device, but it that device breaks, you are out a whole lot more than just a phone.

Each Dock costs US$29. As always, the docks only accept iPhone units without cases, including Apple's cases. Both docks charge and sync your iPhone 5, 5c, or 5s.

iPhone 5 and Inconsistent Headset Remote Results
I'm looking for some suggestions for correcting a problem I'm having with my Apple Earpods that came with my iPhone 5 and use of its remote and volume buttons. Often, when using the earpods, neither its volume or remote buttons do anything. However, if I power off my phone, when I power it back on, I note that the volume on reboot seems a bit louder which always foretells that the earpod buttons will then work. This rebooting doesn't always work the first time but eventually the earpod button functions return but alas the cycle always repeats. I've tried other earpods with buttons and they seem to work even less frequently including a replacement earpod set I got from Apple under warranty. I'm not a big fan of resetting my phone and am even less inclined to consider a phone replacement since I'm not convinced this isn't purely a headset issue. I am running iOS 6.1.4 and thought I'd throw this out there since there are many smart folks on this list and I'm seeking ideas. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

There are two docks: the iPhone 5c Dock and the iPhone 5s Dock which also accommodates the iPhone 5. Each Dock costs US$29. As always, the docks only accept iPhone units without cases, including Apple's cases. Both docks charge and sync your iPhone 5, 5c, or 5s. Your iPhone sits upright in the dock as it syncs or charges, so it’s perfect for a desk or countertop. It also features an audio line out port that connects to powered speakers. You can also conduct speakerphone calls with your iPhone in its dock. ~WRD000.jpg Apple iPhone 5s Dock (left) and iPhone 5c Dock [Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader Jupit3r for the heads up.] MacDailyNews | Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 10:55 am | Tags: Apple, Apple iPhone 5 Dock, Apple iPhone 5c Dock, Apple iPhone 5s Dock, iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S, iPhone Docks | Categories: News | URL: http://wp.me/p19WFc-t5t Comment See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

RE: iPhone 5 and Inconsistent Headset Remote Results
If other similar type headsets have the same issue, I would say your only real choices are to try a complete phone reset after having performed a backup of course, or taking it into an Apple Store as it's possible that the headphone jack could be defective.

Re: iPhone 5 and Inconsistent Headset Remote Results
You should be warned that doing the reset with the home and power buttons sometimes turns off VoiceOver. It has turned it off every time for me, others on this list say it has never turned it off. So, I would be near a computer with iTunes, or sighted help before trying it, just in case it turns it off for you.

Re: How to easily find information about apps on Applevis and iTunes/the App Store using Google
Thanks for this explanation of how to use google. It very well may be easier than the method I used, which is to write, for example site:applevis.com downcast which is how google told me to do it. More and more, thanks to MBraille, I am using google with safari on my iPhone. Your way is less typing. Arnold Schmidt - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2013 10:39 AM Subject: How to easily find information about apps on Applevis and iTunes/the App Store using Google Hello Listers, For the Google savvy crowd this message may cover old ground, but when I answered Wren's question on how to find a Podcast on Downcast, I found myself starting to explain a bit on how to easily find this sort of information and while this isn't strictly iOS related, I thought I do a separate post with a more appropriate subject line. I hope this may benefit some of the people on the list who are new computer users or simply don't have as much experience using google and the Internet. I simply pasted the message below, it starts specifically with how I found the link to the Downcast Podcast on Applevis, but then goes more into how you do this using Google: A quick Google search for Downcast on Applevis brought up a bunch of results. The third search result said the following: Take Your Favorite Podcasts on the Road: Downcast for ... Feb 2, 2012 - In this approximately 30-minute show, Allison Hilliker and Darrell Shandrow demonstrate searching for, subscribing to and playing podcasts ... Here is the direct link to the Applevis page where you find the link to download/play the Podcast: http://www.applevis.com/podcast/episodes/take-your-favorite-podcasts-road-do wncast-ios Just for your information, it is super easy to do a Google search for a particular app and show results from either iTunes (if you simply want to find an app description, price etc.) or to see if a particular app has a review or Podcast on Applevis. All you have to do is type in the app name followed by on iTunes or on Applevis. It is also very easy to review the list of search results if you use Jaws. I assume other screenreaders have similar quick navigation keys for navigating the internet, but I will explain it from a Jaws perspective. Basically once you typed your search and pressed enter, you can easily find the search results by going to the top of the page with Control+Home, then use 2 to jump to the first Heading Level 2 on the page, it is called Search Results. Since it is the first heading on the page, the generic quick nav key h for Heading will also take you there. Now you can go from search result to search result by using 3 for Heading Level 3 or, once again, you can also just use the generic h. Each search result is numbered (usually 10 per page) and the first line which is the one that is numbered gives you a brief indication on what the particular result is all about. In my example above, it is the one that says Take Your Favorite Podcasts on the Road: Downcast for ... Then you get a line which usually indicates the URL of the website where the link will take you, in my example it is www.applevis.com. There may be some other links given, but lastly you always find another one or 2 lines with a more detailed description, once again in my example this is the following: Feb 2, 2012 - In this approximately 30-minute show, Allison Hilliker and Darrell Shandrow demonstrate searching for, subscribing to and playing podcasts ... Now you know that this search result is about a Podcast and not simply an app review, you can arrow back up to the link for that search result, press enter on it and get directly to the page where you want to be. In many cases it is just as quick to find what you are looking for this way rather than writing an email and the advantage of course is that you have your answer instantly, you can listen to the Podcast, download the episode or bookmark the page for later reading. If your question was about what a particular app does or what it costs, you can easily find apps this way, just try it, for example, by searching for Downcast on iTunes.

Re: iPhone 5 and Inconsistent Headset Remote Results
If the system is still responding, couldn't you just power it off and power it back on instead of doing a reset? Hold the lock button down for a few seconds until you hear slide to power down and then double tap the screen. After 20 seconds or so, press the lock button for 5 seconds or so and wait for the phone to come back on.

Subject: Prepare for iOS 7 the Right Way: What To Do Before Upgrading an
iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch to iOS 7
iOS 7 is set for public release on the 18th, making now a good time to start
preparing for the major iOS update on any iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. But
before jumping ahead with the 7.0 upgrade, you should check on compatibility
and do some simple cleanup and backups with your iOS devices… so here are
seven steps to prepare for iOS 7 the right way.
1: Check Device Compatibility
The list of supported hardware hasn’t changed since the first beta build, so
make sure your device is even on the list before anything else. To refresh,
iOS 7 is compatible with the following devices:
iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s
iPod touch 5th gen
iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad mini
A quick word of caution… just because older iPhone and iPad models are on
that list does not mean they should be updated. This is somewhat
controversial advice, but based upon plenty of experience with major iOS
updates, the older models may want to avoid the update entirely – at least
until a point release (say, 7.0.1 or 7.1) comes later to potentially resolve
some inevitable speed and performance issues. This may or may not apply to
iOS 7, but it’s something to take into consideration.
2: Running an iOS Beta? Downgrade or go to GM
Many people are running iOS 7 beta software (officially and unofficially),
and many of those users are also unaware that these betas have an expiration
date. When the device expires, it basically becomes useless and must be
downgraded or updated to a newer version to be usable again. Don’t get caught
with a temporarily bricked device, take the time to leave the beta and
downgrade back to iOS 6 while you can, or update to the final GM build.
You won’t find the iOS 7 GM as an over-the-air update from the beta releases,
thus developers need to use the dev center to download the GM, which can be
done build right now. Note that users on iOS 6 will find the iOS 7 release as
an Over-the-Air update starting on September 18.
3: Clean Up Your App Collection
It’s certainly not necessary, but it’s always a good idea to do some app
cleanup between major iOS updates. There isn’t much to this, just poke around
your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and look for apps you don’t use often, or
don’t need, then delete them.
There is no harm in deleting apps because you can always download them again
later without having to pay for them again, they are all stored in the
“Purchased” section of your Apple ID account history and accessible through
the App Store.
4: Perform Advanced Maintenance Cleaning
Moving beyond apps, major iOS updates provide a good opportunity for some
more advanced maintenance and device cleaning, which can help to free up
space on just about any iPad or iPhone. This typically focuses on two areas;
temporary and cache files, and the ever-annoying “Other” space which is
greatly misunderstood. We’ve covered both of these before in detail:
Clear device caches and temporary files from iOS
Conquer the “Other” storage on iOS
Done together, you can often free up anywhere from 500MB to as much as 5GB of
space. Not bad for a few minutes work, huh?
5: Copy Your Photos Movies to a Computer
Many of us rely on our iPhones (or even iPads) as our primary camera these
days, which means they are full of memories and moments that you don’t want
to lose. But iCloud’s Photo Stream is still misunderstood by many people and
won’t keep all your pictures anyway, so the best thing to do is to
periodically copy them all over from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.

Re: iPhone 5 and Inconsistent Headset Remote Results
Backing up your device always is a good idea. But the home and power button reset shouldn't erase anything, VoiceOver probably is the only thing that potentially gets turned off.

Itunes and earlier version of an app
Hi, folks. I have an earlier version of an app on my computer I'd like to go back to. How do I replace the later version of this app which resides on my phone, with the earlier one using iTunes? One detail I'll add. I notice when I activate the apps button that many of the apps in the list are checked but some are not. Basically, don't know how to do this would be tickled to death if someone could make it clear to me.

Re: Itunes and earlier version of an app
Hi, Firstly, delete the newer version of the app from your phone. Then connect your phone to the computer and sync your apps. When looking at the list of apps in iTunes, the ones that are checked are the ones that will be transfered to your phone. So be sure the older version of the app you want to go back too is checked. It will then be copied to your phone when you sync your apps. Sent with Siri from Brett's iPhone On 15 Sep 2013, at 12:12 pm, Brian Albriton autoharp...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, folks.

Joseph, I'm very happy to hear that TapTapSee was able to help you figure out what product you were looking for specifically. I will share your experience with the rest of the team here at TapTapSee, because we are always happy to hear what our users have to say about our app. Your feedback is very important to us in moving forward with future developments. Thank you, Dmitriy On Wednesday, September 11, 2013 2:47:28 PM UTC-7, Joseph FreeTech wrote: Hi all, Since my Vons online grocery purchase was so easy and pleasant, last night I was doing some laundry and noticed a little hole in a pair of my walking shorts. I know I Purchased them at a JC Penny store nearby here in the US, so I jumped on the JC Penny.com website to purchase a few new pairs as I absolutely did not want to have to catch a ride and walk around a shopping mall nor tiny isles between racks of clothing at a physical store. Firstly, this JCPenny website must use some sort of Java because I had to do all kinds of crazy stuff to try to get Jaws to read the correct information on my Windows7 computer running Internet Explorer 10. For others who may find themselves on this website, do what I did, and first create an account, then simply load all desired items into your basket and go through the process of checking out (don't worry if you made a mistake in the size you chose). At some point you will see all your items, and at this point you can change the size and amount and quantity per item, and you will also be notified if JC Penny is out of stock for that item. You will be offered the opportunity to speed through by paying with PayPal, which is the path I took. At one point, while on the website, I had to choose the size I wanted to purchase, and I could not recall what size I wore in that style of walking shorts. I took a look at my receipt from long ago when previously purchasing this same style of shorts, and like a dummy I did not document the size of my Docker shorts. At this point I had no choice but to wait around until later tonight to find someone who could read the tags for me, which I did not find pleasing as I had gone through lots of hassle to figure out how to use the website, and I wanted to simply finish what I started. I left the browser open and went to get a little breakfast. At some point while eating, I thought, ...nah, it won't work, but rather than waiting a whole day for someone to help, if I can even find someone, how about using my iPod and TapTapSee to attempt to read the tiny writing on the labels? I pulled my iPod Touch 5th gen out of my pocket and first tried using Talking Goggles to scan the small labels, and unfortunately this thing failed pretty miserably. I then tried VixWiz, and now hours later, I'm still waiting for the web workers to get back to me. Smile. I then tried TapTapSee, and I received a couple of replies conveying the fact that I had taken pictures of my walking shorts as well as conveying the color and such, but since I placed the camera about 1 inch above the inner cloth label, I think it was obvious that I wanted someone to read the label for me. After about 5 tries, someone got the hint and conveyed the size of my current pair of walking shorts. Eureka!--I said to myself--though I used more colorful language. I then scanned a few more pair of shorts and I was informed of the relevant sizes. I was incredibly thrilled that TapTapSee helped me out of yet another jam, which only took about 5 minutes, and now I don't have to wait for someone to come along later today, tomorrow, nor ever for that matter to help me complete my shopping. This kind of thing is something very simple, but something that makes life very easy when your goal is complete independence! I jumped on the JC Penny website and completed my purchase. I don't know if it was the old mark up then mark down trick, but I was able to purchase many things on sale, which was a cool unexpected bonus. I'm now waiting for them to deliver my package in a few days. No transportation hassles, no walking through busy isles, no asking for attendants to help me, no entering pin codes or signing for the use of a debit card, no carrying multiple bags on the bus and alike. I love it! Thank you iPod and TapTapSee! Joseph -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
I love listening to books on my iPhone. I have been using an app called Audio Book and Podcast Player to listen to mp3 books with no problems. I think the Bard app will be similar. The nice part is that when using wired earphones (which I do all the time) you can stop and start the books with the switch in the earphone wire. Since this is an Apple feature for music apps I would be shocked if it did not work with the BARD app. So you should be able to use a physical button to stop and start. I play books most of the time and have no battery problems from it. Only battery problems are from GPS type apps. I would explain how to put books on the phone with iTunes but it won't be necessary after the BARD app is here. At night I do use my BARD player or my Victor since it is much easier and has the sleep feature. But I have traveled with only the iPhone and used it at night as well. The BARD app is the reason I got my iPhone in the first place and I got a 64 G to be ready. I am sooo ready!!!

Hi, I don't know about this specific unit, but if it uses a standard USB port, just use your iPhone charging cable. I use this method to connect my iPhone to my home theatre system.

Hello all, Daniel is correct. I've read around 8 messages which have zero to do with the BARD app. I don't yet know how many more there are, but please folks, if you will be talking about something totally different, change the subject line. if it's something which has morphed from BARD to battery drainage, then change the subject even if you keep the same thread. However if you will be talking about something totally different regardless of BARD, then just start a new message with your thoughts. Thanks all. -- Raul A.

This thread has nothing to do with the bar app anymore, but it's about batteries and wordwrap. Also, from what I just heard, the BART app is still in beta and has not been submitted for approval.

Whatever wordwrap is used in a lot of iOS apps is not very smart. Thanks, Ari On Sep 14, 2013, at 8:16 AM, Russ Kiehne russ94...@gmail.com wrote: The victor reader stream will read brf files. And I have used win bt to back translate brf files to text. Then I can use voice dream reader with neospeech. The neospeech used with boice dream reader sounds better than the neospeech on the booksense. -Original Message- From: Arianna Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 2:44 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval Not to mention that, as far as I know, no app on the iPhone can make any sense of brf files. I have a lot of those in my collection, and the BookSense is the only thing that I know can play them. Well, the only thing that I have, at any rate. Plus, having physical buttons is rather nice. When I want to go back five seconds in a book, and I'm kind of sleepy, the last thing I want to do is fiddle around with a touchscreen. That being said, I will still get the app; but I'll keep my BookSense around, too.

In addition to what Eric says below about the battery consumption, I also like just being able to pick up my Booksense, and by pressing just one button, start reading a book right where I left off. No need to unlock the device, jump to the app switcher and bring up my BARD Mobile app to start reading again. The fact that it's a physical button, and I can just pause/play my reading by hitting a physical button while the Booksense is in my pocket, is also a plus. I know it's not that hard to get the BARD Mobile app to start reading again, but it is convenient to have a device dedicated to my book reading and being only one button away from reading. I also think the booksense is a bit lighter and easier to carry around. I can operate it's buttons while it's in my pocket. I also have a lanyard, so I can just hang it from my neck. Would I go out and buy a Booksense if I already had an iPhone and the BARD Mobile app? I'm not sure, but I do know that I'll be using both my iPhone and my Booksense to read BARD books once I get my hands on the BARD Mobile app. On 09/13/2013 02:57 PM, eric oyen wrote: there are advantages to using a separate device. Chief among these is battery life on the iPhone. Playing media sucks down battery like an old drunk on a bender. Its the same with other apps that have discrete devices (trekker breeze, color detector and barcode reader). all of these devices are specially designed for that one task. Its been my experience that iPhone apps are fine in a pinch, but when you want reliability without sacrificing battery life, its better to have the extra devices on hand. Sure, its convenient to have all your functions and technology in one device, but it that device breaks, you are out a whole lot more than just a phone. Just something to keep in mind. -eric On Sep 13, 2013, at 12:47 PM, Rick Alfaro wrote: Yes, it's the official app from NLS so we can read books downloaded from BARD on our iDevices. Between this app, the Kindle app, the Nook app, and Voice Dream Reader or Read2Go for BookShare books, it's hard to imagine why one would need devices like the Stream or BookSense but I'm sure some may still prefer using a separate device. This is my plan so I will be upgrading to the 64gb version of the 5s so I have no issues with space.
