RE: I have tried the hand writing feature on iOS 7
Hi Rick, How to you move between the search results if you use handwriting to find an app? For example, if I write an s and then a c Voiceover says there are 2 results and it mentions Scansnap which is an app I have for my Fujitsu scanner, but how can I find out what the second app is that was found?

Hi, once the number of matches is announced, you can move through the list with 2 finger swipe down or up. Once you are on the app you want, you just double tap.

RE: Spotlight Search Gone?
Hi Victor, In addition to Anita's instruction to get to Spotlight Search with a 3-finger swipe down from any app on any home screen, you can also perform the pass-through gesture (a double tap and hold with one finger) and then flick down immediately after you hear the triple tone the double tap and hold generates. Just make sure you do this very quickly, if you double tap and hold too long before flicking down you enter moving apps mode.

RE: Lost music app from dock
Hi, You can't delete apps like music, Camera, Weather and all the other apps which Apple provides as part of the iOS experience. Chances are you accidently moved it. Here is what you do: First you have to of course swipe through your apps and find where it is. Try to figure out which row it is in and which column, e.g. on the very left in row 3 or the second from the right in row 4 etc. Now after you find it and Voiceover has focus on it, do a double tap and hold until you hear a triple tone and Voiceover says Moving Music.At this point drag your finger down the screen into the dock, if you have moved apps before you know how this works, if not you just have to experiment. Anyhow, you should be able to move the music app back into the dock and once there you can move it to the position where you want it, e.g. very left, very right or second in from the left or second in from the right.

At this point you can swipe once left for Rewind button or swipe right once for Forward button. Double-tap on each of these buttons to execute their respective actions (forwards and rewinds by 5 seconds). Triple tap on forward or rewind button to move by 20 second increments. If you double-tap on the Bookshelf tab you can swipe until you find the Bard Mobile User Guide. Double-tap to open.

Re: control center
James et al, I think the confusion is caused by the fact that in Settings/Control Centre the instruction is to simply swipe up from the bottom of the screen, there is no direction as to how to do this with Voice Over… For me, I also couldn't make it work, until yesterday evening when I touched the top of the screen to hear the time, and did nothing else, Voice OVer then read the help tag which told me to swipe down for the Notification Centre and up for the Control Centre. This is not in line with the generic text as to how to operate the Control Centre found in the Settings/Control Centre. It would have been helpful if there had been a note to explain this, also, now we find that some of the folk that have had iOS7 a little longer in fact no of other, additional, work arounds and methods of bringing it up. Essentially, you're not alone in being confused and now I've found it I find it of use to have those specific commands in one location.

Re: anyone else having issues while texting
Amy, I know of the issue you are having. It could possibly be a bug, but basically for those who don't know: if you touch any text in the edit field, your cursor will jump to where ever you touched.

I am using braille very much on my IPhone, because I am a braille user, I am not using speech very much. to me it is also a problem, that there are no ways you can go to the next line with the left hand, and many keyboard commands such as VoiceOver search, has not been added to braille displays yet. This should have been fixed. We could do so much with our braille displays if apple would use the posibilities which our braille displays have. Best regards Annie.

Re: The Apple Braille Crisis. It's Got to be Fixed for our Kids
Hi Jonathan. As always you are nailing things down very well. I fully agree and support your writing. If we take this a step further and step outside the English speaking contries. Braille implementation is even poorer than what you describe. No contractions in 8-dot braille, poor and faulty back translation to name a few. In danish 8-dot braille is being used also for contracted braille, and it ought too be supported correctly by apple I believe that using mainstream technologies especially as a visually impaired kid is a wonderful and necessary thing, when it comes to a good foundation for a successful integration into a sighted society. Apple has really done lots to enable visually impaired young people to use and understand mainstream technology. But Braille is so important to literacy that it cannot be underestamiated, and therefore, if we are to continue to promote apple products in conjunction with braille devices Apple has to step up its efforts to solve the many braille issues.

Wow A spirit level tells you when something is level. If you lay your iPhone on it's long edge with the screen facing you, you get a horizontal level. If you hold the long edge of your iPhone against a wall, you're checking vertical level. And, if you lay your iphone on a table with the screen facing up, you are using a plane level. With any of these, your iPhone will tell you the amount of degrees that your phone is off of horizontal, vertical level, or plane level. So, let's say I place it on a picture frame, on edge, with the screen facing me, and the level running. I can adust the frame until the iPhone level tells me that it's at zero degrees. This would tell me that the picture frame is level. Do the same on shelving to check level from side to side, or from front to back.

Re: The Apple Braille Crisis. It's Got to be Fixed for our Kids
Jonathan, Annie and all, I agree totally with your sentiments, but do feel that, along with suggestions so far, there needs to be a big push for schools to keep it a priority for children to learn thoroughlyand use braille every day. My gut feeling is that Apple really does need to call upon the resources of those who are experts in this field. Idon't believe they can really achieve the kind of excellence we require without such expertise. In other words, if they do not employ an expert who already has a very good knowledge of braille and the way things work, they need to outsource some of this work. They certainly need to be listening to us on this matter. Carol P Sent from my iPhone using MBraille On 20 Sep 2013, at 10:50 am, Annie Skov Nielsen annieskovniel...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Jonathan.

Since its inception, if you input a letter in contracted Braille which would be the abbreviation for a word if surrounded by spaces, iOS expands the word it represents if you pause for a short time before inputting the next character. For example, write “p” and it will quickly be expanded to the word “people”. If you are proofing a document you’ve brailled and wish to insert a letter in the middle of a word, you must preface the letter with a letter sign, dots 5-6, to prevent it from being expanded. This is not in accordance with the Braille code and is simply wrong. Apple must surely know about this poor implementation. It’s been talked about

Re: The Apple Braille Crisis. It's Got to be Fixed for our Kids
I know my thoughts on this topic are in the extreme minority. I grew up learning braille. Fortunately, my mother also insisted I learn print, and taught me using plastic letter magnets. My first notetaker was a Braille 'n Speak 640. I used it for taking notes in university training courses. Because I was also a heavy BBSer, I taught myself computer braille and used that equipment with a dial-up modem. So, I wrote all my notes in computer braille. Since then, I have found Apple's automatic braille translation to be one of the best I have worked with. It actually permits me to write in my mixture of grade II UEB and spell out parts of words. Sometimes, I use automatic translation to shortcut my writing of words since everything is properly stored in computer text. In fact, I used my iPhone and braille display to teach myself UEB by writing words in computer braille and then using 1 2 4 5 chord to display the word in grade II. My method of writing in braille permits me the best of both worlds when using Apple's automatic braille translation. Language is always fluid. Fonts change and adjust over time. Words are added to languages regularly. In my opinion, we should be teaching blind children print using tactile letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. We should also teach them braille, starting with computer braille, and finally, grade II braille. This would follow the print training of print followed by shorthand. Not teaching blind children computer braille is as much a disservice as not teaching them any braille. Amongst other things, learning computer braille will teach the concept that uppercase letters and lowercase letters are two completely different things (a fact that many blind braille readers do not seem to grasp). So, I say, Yes, we must think of the blind children. We must change our teaching of braille skills so that the children learn, at an early age, how truly flexible braille actually is. We need to correct the extremely poor spelling that so many braille learners acquire through working from earliest days with grade II braille (I count myself in this crowd, by the way, and did not start improving my spelling until I started working in computer braille). In other words we must teach our children to be fully proficient in computer braille and tactile print letters before anything else. And, because the primary mode is becoming computer / iDevice and braille display, the large size of braille and spelling out words is no longer an impediment to reading proper computer braille text. This will help our blind children to better compete in all aspects of literate life, including work.

Ringing volume in Ios7
Hi all Just wondering is anyone else experienceing this issue. Under Ios7, my ringtone volume seems to be incredibly low, so much so that I fear that I would not be able to hear it if I was out, and I'm just wondering is anyone else having this problem, and can anyone think of a way to fix it? I turned off VO, and had someone ring my phone and it was the same so I fear this is not a VO issue, but an IOS one. Really hope can get this sorted sooner rather than later, as it's quite annoying Thanks P.S ringer volume is at 100 percent, and change with buttons is off.

Re: The Apple Braille Crisis. It's Got to be Fixed for our Kids
Hi all Good article JM. However, i don't see how it will get fix if there are different versions of Braille available. Just say English Braille itself, how many varians itself in English Braille? Even UEB itself can be different from different country. I do agree with David C though, i think the way to move forward for the future generation is to encourage computer braille from school age as much as grade 1 and 2 braille. Unless we can standardise braille, (at least english braille) to start with, i don't see how it will work in the long run. regards Joanne On 20/09/2013, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: Actually, we need to change all braille to computer braille.

My gut feeling is that Apple really does need to call upon the resources of those who are experts in this field. Idon't believe they can really achieve the kind of excellence we require without such expertise. In other words, if they do not employ an expert who already has a very good knowledge of braille and the way things work, they need to outsource some of this work. They certainly need to be listening to us on this matter. Carol P Sent from my iPhone using MBraille On 20 Sep 2013, at 10:50 am, Annie Skov Nielsen annieskovniel...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Jonathan. I agree with you. I have some things to add. I am using braille very much on my IPhone, because I am a braille user, I am not using speech very much. to me it is also a problem, that there are no ways you can go to the next line with the left hand, and many keyboard commands such as VoiceOver search, has not been added to braille displays yet. This should have been fixed. We could do so much with our braille displays if apple would use the posibilities which our braille displays have. Best regards Annie. Den Sep 20, 2013 kl. 10:10 AM skrev Jonathan Mosen jmo...@mosen.org: Hi everyone, since I believe this is such a vital issue, and given that it is 100% on-topic for this list, I would like to paste below an entry I just posted to my blog. I hope you enjoy it and that you'll give it some thought. People from all walks of life, not just blind people, can get extremely partisan about their technology preferences. Anything their team does is unquestionably wonderful, while anything another company does is rubbish, simply by virtue of the fact that it’s the other guys who did it. If you criticise the company such people support, you’ve committed heresy. As blind people, I don’t believe we have the luxury of being so childish. Unemployment is high. Misconceptions abound regarding how capable we can be in the workplace, and in society as a whole. We need to be open to all solutions, and where possible, use the best mix of technology we can to be as productive, functional and self-reliant as we can. To be clear, I have enormous admiration for the way Apple has changed the game in assistive technology. When they released VoiceOver in 2009, I was concerned that Apple might do just enough to get people off its back regarding the inaccessibility of the iPhone. But that has not been the case. With every release, Apple has added tangible enhancements such as alternative forms of input, innovative ways for us to use the camera, and so much more. So Apple’s commitment to accessibility is real, its ongoing, and it has earned enormous praise and respect. Is there a “but” coming? Yes, there is, actually., because being grateful for a product doesn’t mean we don’t have rights as paying consumers to point out where a product falls short. But more than that, if Apple’s innovations risk killing off a category of product, and the literacy of our kids is threatened, we have a moral obligation to speak up constructively and ask Apple to engage with us as a community about fixing the issue. The Internet is buzzing with reports of bugs in iOS 7. I’m not unduly concerned about most of these, because I believe the majority of them will come out in the wash. iOS 7 was a massive refactoring of the OS. I hope that there’ll be fixes released steadily across the coming year. However, I am deeply troubled by Apple’s ongoing apparent failure to understand what constitutes Braille support of an appropriate quality. We’re not talking bugs in this case, we’re talking a fundamental user interface failure – a feature not fully fit for purpose.

Re: Ringing volume in Ios7
Whilst your iPhone is ringing, change the ringer volume by pressing the up and down arrows.

Under Ios7, my ringtone volume seems to be incredibly low, so much so that I fear that I would not be able to hear it if I was out, and I'm just wondering is anyone else having this problem, and can anyone think of a way to fix it? I turned off VO, and had someone ring my phone and it was the same so I fear this is not a VO issue, but an IOS one. Really hope can get this sorted sooner rather than later, as it's quite annoying Thanks P.S ringer volume is at 100 percent, and change with buttons is off.

Hi, I don't find turning motion off makes any difference in background lighting. One thing to note is that when there are items in the locked screen, notifications from facebook or whatever then the old dark grey with white writing is back, but once you unlock the screen the glaring light grey background returns with a vengence, there is an option under accessibility to increase contrast, but having tried it I really can't see where or in which apps it actually functions. and on other issues. I tried switching to the male voice for siri and it won't work, maybe that option isn't available in Canada?

IOS7, various frustrating difficulties
Hi all, First, I love some things in IOS7 and think Apple have done a good job in many areas. However, so far as us VI's are concerned, it seems that there are some definite difficulties and pitfalls and I'm feeling a bit frustrated with these. First, for me at least the 4S is in some ways quite snappy and, in others, just not quite snappy enough ... Then, I'm a bit disappointed as the UK English voice just doesn't sound quite right, even on its higher setting and awful on its compact setting. Since we listen to speech most of the time, these voices really need to be very good! However, my main frustration right now is being unable to perform general editing techniques nearly as well or as quickly as in IOS6. This is because of the more sensitive touch, which can create random incorrect letters. This would even be OK if, when editing and working through word by wor and letter by letter, the voices were really tiptop and selecting was better than it is at present. I find I can no longer select and delete quantities of text as before because so often the cursor jumps about (often putting me at the top of a message when I was editing further down) (or the pinch method just doesn't work at all. Finally, I am finding the dictation when using Siri, less accurate than before and I was looking forward to seeing some leaps forward in this area. M-Braille is definitely my best bet here right now for writing but I still have a need to utilise these other skills when I need to get things done quickly and corretly. The matter which brought this in focus for me was when I was trying to text a quick message into which I needed to place some numeric and punctuation signs. I found that, when in touch typing mode, it was just too easy to slide a finger and find that a character was selected and then extra characters were available to me, but they just got inserted every time I slid my finger around - so a real mess! I did try to edit using standard typing and this was a little better, but I don't want to use this as I find it generally much quicker to use the touch typing method. I'd love some of you to try out texting, including the characters that are available in the Numbersoption, and see what you think! For now, I'm taking a break and a cuppa!

Re: The Apple Braille Crisis. It's Got to be Fixed for our Kids
Hi guys, hate to be the dissenting opinion, but as a totally blind person I don't really have any use for Braille in my life. I have a Braille display that has an 8-year pile of dust on it. One of the dots went out and I need both of my arms and legs so can't send it in for repair. As for school, yes, Braille can be helpful, but I don't think it is essential with a little creativity. In college I handed in my math assignments having typed out using Word and Excel. I explained my code to my professors and they were all ok with it straight through college. I also used a Perkins Brailler and came up with my own Braille code as having to learn nemeth after just having learned Grade 2 and Grade 3 Braille was not going to cut it as I already had quite a work load in college and just didn't have the time to learn Nemeth code. My math code was much, much more efficient than Nemeth. I took a gamble and it paid off for me. In terms of reading and writing, well, for the most part I'm a curious person, and learning how to spell is just a letter-by-letter review away from accuracy. What is going to doom writing both in blind community and sighted world will be texting and the general acceptance of incredibly, I mean incredibly poor etiquette by those using cell phones to communicate. I come across messages and think who in their right mind would post such a mess as this poor spelling and grammar says so little about the sender, but then I realize the person might be texting and has no interest in proper spelling and grammar. If one is a curious person, he or she can go a long way to prevent poor spelling and grammar as well as increasing their vocabulary with a free, easy to use application such as WordWeb. Let's not forget that electronic Braille products are outrageously expensive (depending on type of product). One absolutely need the help of the government to make such a purchase, so while doing it for the children, the children is noble, right now it is not practical without the assistance of the state. I'm concluding that so little blind people use Braille because it just isn't essential in our modern lives. Heck, with apps like MBraille, one can get the benefits of using Braille without having to take out a second mortgage to purchase a Braille display, Braille printer, and tons of Braille paper. I just recently came across a YouTube video of a blind TV voice over actor. This guy was absolutely amazing and has been very successful in his chosen field--he sounds like the Budweiser commercial guy with low rumbling voice. He played some samples of his work to demonstrate how fast he has to learn how to read and speak. I was amazed at how fast he could read Braille to complete his work. Well, turns out he's not reading Braille at all. He has a headpiece on and is simply repeating what he has recorded via his screen reader. By the way, this is exactly how I presented my various speeches when at university. My point is that there is always a way when one doesn't have tens of thousands of dollars to purchase Braille products. I do fully expect an incredible retaliation for my personal dissenting opinions, but this list is not hear primarily for the sake of proponents of Braille use, it is hear for the acquisition of knowledge as shared by all on the list, which means I too have some say so on the matter as it concerns my views and experience with use of Braille.

My gut feeling is that Apple really does need to call upon the resources of those who are experts in this field. Idon't believe they can really achieve the kind of excellence we require without such expertise. In other words, if they do not employ an expert who already has a very good knowledge of braille and the way things work, they need to outsource some of this work. They certainly need to be listening to us on this matter. Carol P Sent from my iPhone using MBraille On 20 Sep 2013, at 10:50 am, Annie

RE: New Spirit level feature part of iOS 7. Wow
I am sending an email to accessibil...@apple.com for this matter. With all of the levels that this app provides, when 0 degrees is reached, there is a color change to the screen. I am suggesting that Apple add a tone to this. With the plain level, it's very difficult to get it just right. You need to lift one side, then another to see what the readout says. I have low vision, and on screen, there are two circles that, when level, will make a ring, since one circle is slightly larger than the other. Please send along your comments to apple as well, so that the blind can use such a wonderful tool.

Wow A spirit level tells you when something is level. If you lay your iPhone on it's long edge with the screen facing you, you get a horizontal level. If you hold the long edge of your iPhone against a wall, you're checking vertical level. And, if you lay your iphone on a table with the screen facing up, you are using a plane level. With any of these, your iPhone will tell you the amount of degrees that your phone is off of horizontal, vertical level, or plane level. So, let's say I place it on a picture frame, on edge, with the screen facing me, and the level running. I can adust the frame until the iPhone level tells me that it's at zero degrees. This would tell me that the picture frame is level. Do the same on shelving to check level from side to side, or from front to back.

Previously compass was just a compass but now if you 3 finger swipe to the second page, you get a spirit level which is very accurate indeed. Unfortunately it doesn't do less than 1 degree resolution which would be even better but the accuracy is good enough for putting up shelves, levelling pictures etc. It also works on 2 axis simultaneously. Very impressive. On a negative note though the compass app doesn't seem to read out headings anymore so great we got spirit level but not so great they seem to have broke the compass. Hopefully I am wrong and doing something incorrectly or they fix it very quickly. Also very disappointed the Safari bug where focus jumps around is still there.

Re: The Apple Braille Crisis. It's Got to be Fixed for our Kids
Hi David. The poor children need to have time to learn all these things. I have not learned printed letters at all, I have not been missing them. Having said that all blind children and adults who cares about braille should learn computer braille or better 8 dots braille, in fact I agree that computer braille or in my opinion 8 dots braille should be the braille system, That would improve our spelling and writing skills. I also like the automatic translation, in fact it works better for me than the new method. I think apple should imploy some experts in braille. To me one of the biggest problems is that the VoiceOver search function can not be used with braille. If that function could be added it would be much better to navigate. Best regards Annie. Den Sep 20, 2013 kl. 12:38 PM skrev David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com: I know my thoughts on this topic are in the extreme minority. I grew up learning braille. Fortunately, my mother also insisted I learn print, and taught me using plastic letter magnets. My first notetaker was a Braille 'n Speak 640. I used it for taking notes in university training courses. Because I was also a heavy BBSer, I taught myself computer braille and used that equipment with a dial-up modem. So, I wrote all my notes in computer braille. Since then, I have found Apple's automatic braille translation to be one of the best I have worked with. It actually permits me to write in my mixture of grade II UEB and spell out parts of words. Sometimes, I use automatic translation to shortcut my writing of words since everything is properly stored in computer text. In fact, I used my iPhone and braille display to teach myself UEB by writing words in computer braille and then using 1 2 4 5 chord to display the word in grade II. My method of writing in braille permits me the best of both worlds when using Apple's automatic braille translation. Language is always fluid. Fonts change and adjust over time. Words are added to languages regularly. In my opinion, we should be teaching blind children print using tactile letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. We should also teach them braille, starting with computer braille, and finally, grade II braille. This would follow the print training of print followed by shorthand. Not teaching blind children computer braille is as much a disservice as not teaching them any braille. Amongst other things, learning computer braille will teach the concept that uppercase letters and lowercase letters are two completely different things (a fact that many blind braille readers do not seem to grasp). So, I say, Yes, we must think of the blind children. We must change our teaching of braille skills so that the children learn, at an early age, how truly flexible braille actually is. We need to correct the extremely poor spelling that so many braille learners acquire through working from earliest days with grade II braille (I count myself in this crowd, by the way, and did not start improving my spelling until I started working in computer braille). In other words we must teach our children to be fully proficient in computer braille and tactile print letters before anything else. And, because the primary mode is becoming computer / iDevice and braille display, the large size of braille and spelling out words is no longer an impediment to reading proper computer braille text. This will help our blind children to better compete in all aspects of literate life, including work.

I hope you enjoy it and that you'll give it some thought. People from all walks of life, not just blind people, can get extremely partisan about their technology preferences. Anything their team does is unquestionably wonderful, while anything another company does is rubbish, simply by virtue of the fact that it’s the other guys who did it. If you criticise the company such people support, you’ve committed heresy. As blind people, I don’t believe we have the luxury of being so childish. Unemployment is high. Misconceptions abound regarding how capable we can be in the workplace, and in society as a whole. We need to be open to all solutions, and where possible, use the best mix of technology we can to be as productive, functional and self-reliant as we can. To be clear, I have enormous admiration for the way Apple has changed the game in assistive technology. When they released VoiceOver in 2009, I was concerned that Apple might do just enough to get people off its back regarding the inaccessibility of the iPhone. But that

Re: folders Re: IOS 7 visual issues and a couple comments
Hey Tessa, Folders can actually have multiple pages now so the number of apps in each is much larger. I don't know if there is a cap on how many pages a folder can have, but my games folder has 38 apps in it just as an example. I always wished that you could have multiple pages in a folder because I hated having multiple folders with the same name and now I do. I agree that having to wait for 5 seconds is a bit tedius. This is also where I notice the sensativity most when working with the screen. when I was moving apps around, sometimes it would not open the folder I wanted to move the app into, while at other times it would. Also, if the folder I wanted to move the app too, was in the first or 4th column, it would frequently switch to the previous or next page, which got a bit frustrating. It made moving apps a bit more time consuming then I was used too. I got better as I worked with it more but was surprised on how quickly the pages switched. Pages switching quickly is in complete contrast to how it was on the old IOS, at least that was my experience. I did notice that the sounds to indicate what position the app was in, doesn't appear as reliable as prior versions. Sometimes I would hear the blip and it would say, column 4, row 4 but more often then not, I didn't get any indication of where I was dragging the app to.

Re: The Apple Braille Crisis. It's Got to be Fixed for our Kids
hi, in some cases braille is very imported to do a certain task. for example, i'm a system- and network engineer and doing the job with tts isn't doable and productive. the only thing that works for me is a linux box and brltty. for all my other tasks i use ios of mac. one reason i need vmware on my mac is good braille support for console and apple lacks good braille support on mac terminal. what i want to say is, braille is very imported in daily life, so having good braille suppoet may improve productivity and such of the fact of internationalisation, apple have a long way to go. my feeling is that a lot of things aren't tested propperly. for example, we can have hq voices for different languages, but the speech rate option you can configure doesn't work. why giving this option that isn't tested propperly? even vo on mountain lion feels more like a beta. same for vo on ios7. indeed new great features, but personally, i prefere a good tested screen reader then a beta feeling with a lot of features. just my two cents. With kind regards, -Peter Durieux Op 20-sep.-2013 om 14:16 heeft Joseph FreeTech joseph.freet...@gmail.com het volgende geschreven: Hi guys, hate to be the dissenting opinion, but as a totally blind person I don't really have any use for Braille in my life. I have a Braille display that has an 8-year pile of dust on it. One of the dots went out and I need both of my arms and legs so can't send it in for repair. As for school, yes, Braille can be helpful, but I don't think it is essential with a little creativity. In college I handed in my math assignments having typed out using Word and Excel. I explained my code to my professors and they were all ok with it straight through college. I also used a Perkins Brailler and came up with my own Braille code as having to learn nemeth after just having learned Grade 2 and Grade 3 Braille was not going to cut it as I already had quite a work load in college and just didn't have the time to learn Nemeth code. My math code was much, much more efficient than Nemeth. I took a gamble and it paid off for me. In terms of reading and writing, well, for the most part I'm a curious person, and learning how to spell is just a letter-by-letter review away from accuracy. What is going to doom writing both in blind community and sighted world will be texting and the general acceptance of incredibly, I mean incredibly poor etiquette by those using cell phones to communicate. I come across messages and think who in their right mind would post such a mess as this poor spelling and grammar says so little about the sender, but then I realize the person might be texting and has no interest in proper spelling and grammar. If one is a curious person, he or she can go a long way to prevent poor spelling and grammar as well as increasing their vocabulary with a free, easy to use application such as WordWeb. Let's not forget that electronic Braille products are outrageously expensive (depending on type of product). One absolutely need the help of the government to make such a purchase, so while doing it for the children, the children is noble, right now it is not practical without the assistance of the state. I'm concluding that so little blind people use Braille because it just isn't essential in our modern lives. Heck, with apps like MBraille, one can get the benefits of using Braille without having to take out a second mortgage to purchase a Braille display, Braille printer, and tons of Braille paper. I just recently came across a YouTube video of a blind TV voice over actor. This guy was absolutely amazing and has been very successful in his chosen field--he sounds like the Budweiser commercial guy with low rumbling voice. He played some samples of his work to demonstrate how fast he has to learn how to read and speak. I was amazed at how fast he could read Braille to complete his work. Well, turns out he's not reading Braille at all. He has a headpiece on and is simply repeating what he has recorded via his screen reader. By the way, this is exactly how I presented my various speeches when at university. My point is that there is always a way when one doesn't have tens of thousands of dollars to purchase Braille products. I do fully expect an incredible retaliation for my personal dissenting opinions, but this list is not hear primarily for the sake of proponents of Braille use, it is hear for the acquisition of knowledge as shared by all on the list, which means I too have some say so on the matter as it concerns my views and experience with use of Braille.

I can barely compose a text it is so slow. I wish I hadn't updated it. On Wednesday, September 18, 2013 10:40:05 AM UTC-7, Jared wrote: I currently have an iPhone 4 but plan on upgrading shortly.

Re: Dont recommend updating to IOS 7
Hi Cara, It seems to me that the weakness of this release of iOS 7, not to mention many many releases of android, is that the developers of the OS don't take the time to document it and put that documentation out there for the public. That would include all accessibility change documentation. Somewhere somebody got the idea that nobody is willing to read documentation, and that everybody prefers to mumble and bumble and grumble around the OS to find out what is new. To me, that seems absurd. Okay. Not everybody wants to read in-depth documentation. But for those of us who do, it seems a shame that the opportunity is denied us.

While I agree completely, let me also offer the precept that iOS has always been built on its ability to be easily discoverable. -And for me at least, in iOS 7 so far, the level of what I consider to be good discoverability is less than I'd like. However, rather than go into details now, I'm holding my thoughts for a while for exactly the reason John puts across in this note. While I personally find this version of iOS way less discoverable I also feel that not only is this just the first release of this incarnation of iOS, but also I do think there needs to be more than a 24 hour period for me to draw lasting conclusions about this, if for no other reason than not all features are obvious to everyone at this point. So while I do have my impressions, as we all do, I know there's a lot I'll be learning as well. So there's my point of view for the moment. :) Thanks for all the great posts both from those who like / do not like iOS 7 so far. That's part of what this list is for after all! Thanks All and have a great night!… Smiles, Cara :) On Sep 19, 2013, at 11:38 AM, John Panarese jpanar...@gmail.com wrote: I mean absolutely no offense, but you really have to read documentation and understand what has changed before jumping to conclusions. I will address your 5 points and explain what I mean. 1. In Accessibility settings, turn on, reduce motion. This will speed up the speed of the phone with VoiceOver. 2. Yes, VoiceOver sounds are different. You are basing your recommendation on personal opinion. Like anything else, you get used to them. Change is not always comfortable for folks, but human beings tend to adapt to change in the long run. I have already. 3. There is a separate control for silencing VoiceOver sounds independently or having them remain on. 4. I think point 1 might help with the focus issues. Not sure though because I haven’t experienced this myself. 5. Again, your opinion. There are a lot of changes to the interface that make iOS 7 worth the upgrade. The handwriting feature, the 4-finger double tap to start VO practice mode, the Control Center, the new layout to Calendars and Reminders, the new SIRI voices and the expansion of what you can do with SIRI, and several others. Learn about iOS 7 and use it for a few weeks before jumping to conclusions in 24 hours of use. It’s funny how I read posts like this with every iOS upgrade and Mac upgrade. I know for a fact I still haven’t learned all of the new things yet and am discovering changes every time I use my iPhone and iPad. Take Care John D.

Explanation to all of you who are confused about the iOS 7 TTS voices
Hi all, As one who uses the new Nuance Vocalizer Expressive voices to develop with them for other platforms, I wanna to explain to you all, what are the iOS 7 voices and which of them are being used when. So, let's start from sirie: The new and better Sirie voices are not Vocalizer Expressive voices. These are custom voices that Nuance or some other company makes a specially for Apple, I think it's Nuance because Apple always works with them on TTS related stuff. Now, let's move on to VoiceOver: In iOS 6, Apple used the Nuance Vocalizer for automotive version 5.5 platform for it's screen reader and Sirie. Since Nuance stopped supporting and developing Vocalizer for Automotive, and released Vocalizer Expressive, in iOS 7, Apple has swiched to using these voices for VoiceOver. Most of them sound the same as the previous generation of Vocalizer, such as Samantha Premium for example, they just read longer texts better. The Vocalizer Expressive platform contains some new and very expressive voices, but Apple decided to use the ones that wer already available, because they are still offerd with Vocalizer Expressive, or VE for short. Some other facts that thanks to them you can know it's the new Expressive version, are the bad compact voices, a specially Daniel, and the new voices for some languages such as Arabic, they have replaced Maged with Tarik for this language because Nuance doesn't offer Maged any more. Vocalizer Expressive has a Hebrew voice as well, so I hope Apple will add it soon too:) (Smile). Hope now you understand it better..

itunes radio and skipping songs
I have not upgraded to ios 7, but I did get the new iTunes on my Mac and have been experimenting with the new radio feature. I thought I read that, if you subscribe to iTunes match, you not only don't get ads, but you also get an unlimited number of skips. This later point appears not to be true. Any conformations or contradictions to this experience? Also,m I accidentally told iTunes never to play a particular song that I actually wanted to say play more like this.
