Re: Charge up to nine devices in one place with the Powerqube!
iPhone and iPad use the same voltage as standard on usb outlets; the available ampage may differ, but voltage is standard. The device will take as long as it takes and cut off when done. You can disconnect any device at any time. I just got around this when 3 items were all dead together, so found an 8-outlet powerstrip on a 1Metre lead, and plugged all the necessary ac adapters into that and charged them all at once, and took them off one by one as they were done.

Re: Charge up to nine devices in one place with the Powerqube!
I'm sure the blurb said high-output for the usb ports, so if they can charge the iPad, they can also charge the iPhone or Touch or whatever. I used to charge my iPhone on my iPad adapter when I had it, but not the other way round. Note: I swapped the lead itself of course, but the adapter didn't mind. - Original Message - From: Ron Pelletier ron.pellet...@sympatico.ca To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2014 1:03 AM Subject: RE: Charge up to nine devices in one place with the Powerqube!

Hi All, Here's what I know about WI-FI and Cellular data. I live in the USA. We travel in our motor home as well. In 2012 we took a trip that covered over 2 thousand miles. Some was in cities and more was in the country side. Finding a WI-FI signal was actually harder then finding a cellular signal. In my opinion, if your rarely going to use it to travel and you live in a city where you have easy access to WI-FI then that may be all you need. If you travel often, then your better off with both WI-FI and cellular data. I'm having trouble finding the iPad air with both WI-FI and cellular data in the 128 GB model.

RE: App Turns Smartphone Into Virtual Cane

It's easy to imagine that being blind or visually impaired more or less excludes people from using smartphones or tablets. But nothing could be further from the truth. App stores have a dizzying variety of products that help the visually impaired access all kinds of information much more easily than would otherwise be possible. These apps offer audio books, match clothes by colour and even offer games played by hearing and touch alone. But the apps designed to give directions all suffer from the same drawbacks-audio directions are helpful but also screen out other audio such as conversations or the sound of traffic nearby. What's more, GPS does not work indoors so these kinds of systems are of little use in homes and other buildings Now Pierluigi Gallo and buddies at the University of Palermo in Italy have come up with an alternative which offers the blind navigational help without any form of audio distraction or the need for GPS. The approach is surprisingly simple and inspired by the famous Greek myth of Ariadne and Theseus. In the story, Theseus volunteers to kill the Minotaur which lives in a labyrinth on the island of Crete. To help him, Ariadne gives him a sword to kill the beast and a ball of thread to help him find his way out when the deed is done. Gallo and co take a similar approach with their prototype smartphone app called Arianna, the Italian name for Ariadne. (It's also short for pAth Recognition for Indoor Assisted NavigatioN with Augmented perception.) Their idea is to map out a route through a building by sticking coloured tape on the ground. The user then switches on the smartphone camera and points it towards the ground, while placing a finger on the screen. He or she then waves the camera back and forth, scanning the ground for the line. In the meantime, the app analyses the frames produced by the camera, picking out the line as it moves across the screen. When the line passes under the user's finger on the screen, the app causes the smartphone to vibrate, providing a tactile indication of where the line falls. Scanning the smartphone back and forth allows the user to follow the line in the same way as he or she might use a cane (see diagram above). At the same time, QR codes placed on the ground can give the user other information such as the location of places such as toilets, water coolers, shops and so on. Gallo and co say they tested their virtual cane in December at workshop in Boston organised by the Andrea Bocelli Foundation and say it works well. And they plan significant upgrades in future. One idea is to use infrared lines that are not visible but can nevertheless be picked up by smartphone cameras which are sensitive to infrared. This infrared sensitivity is currently an under-used feature of most smartphones, they point out. And that raises the possibility of games and challenges that are equally accessible to the blind and sighted. All in all, this software could be a significant help to the blind and visually impaired. Hi-tech aids for this disability tend to be expensive because they have to be specially designed and manufactured for a relatively small group of people. But with smartphones widely available at affordable prices, much of the technology necessary for Ariana is available off-the-shelf. Gallo and co don't say when their new idea will be available as a commercial app or how much it will cost but it has the potential to be significantly cheaper than a bespoke device. So: useful, simple and potentially cheap. Not a bad combination for an app. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: kindle
Hi Betty, Yes, there is a Kindle app spelled k i n d l e for both the iPhone and iPad. Look for it in the app store; last I checked, it's free. You can't buy Kindle books through the Kindle app, but if you have an Amazon account and have One-Click-Buy settings turned on, buying books from the Kindle Bookstore at the Amazon site is very easy, and downloading them using the Kindle app is a snap, too.

problems Editing The Message Field While In Safari
Hello Folks, Here's a strange one that just occurred while in Safari that I hope others can shed some light on. I was in a specific app and access the support page through Safari. I used MBraille to compose the text and pasted it into the message edit field. I then had VO read it back and noticed that there were a couple of extraneous letters that I wanted to delete at the end of the message. I went to the end of the message, changed the rotor to words, but when I flicked up VO wouldn't speak and it seemed like the cursor didn't move. Has anyone had this happen to them and what was the solution that fixed this? I appreciate any input on this. I am running an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.2. Thanks in advance..

The iTunes gift card is just like cash for anything you buy in the iTunes store such as apps, Books, movies, TV shows etc. Outside services like Hula etc, you have to pay for those services separately because they aren't Apple products.

Dear Raul and all. Can you use this card to pay for services like hulu? Or is the itunes card only for purchasing apps? AÅÅ Sent from my iPhone On Jan 7, 2014, at 8:18 PM, Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: Hi, first off let me say that I have only been using the Seeing Eye GPS app from Sendero for several days. The first thing I noticed was how easy it is to use. Virtually nothing needs to be set up and configured with it. It speaks the necessary information about street crossings as you walk. If you are riding in a vehicle and are going relatively fast, then the intersections are suppressed. If you are in a route, it clearly gives turn by turn information and it's very easy to figure out what it means. I'm still not sure if I will continue using it as my primary gps source however, but this isn't through any fault of the app. Prior to trying out this app, I usually use a combination of BlindSquare or Ariadne to know where I am at a given point and Google Maps or MapQuest or Apple Maps for turn by turn directions. Along with those apps, Hop Stop for bus information and Metro Trip for my local bus information. Yes, this is a combination of multiple apps. However quite often I don't need to use more than one at a time. If I'm walking somewhere to get from point A to point B usually Ariadne or BlindSquare is used. I'm not in situations where I need walking directions to get somewhere because usually when I go somewhere I've already got the directions down and I just use non-technical orientation and mobility skills to find what I'm looking for. In a case where a building might need to be found, then Ariadne or BlindSquare is good about telling me what address range I'm in to make sure I'm in the right area. For times when I'm riding in a vehicle, Google Maps is the preferred choice app because its directions are spot on, and because the app gives the necessary information in such a way that both me and my sighted driver can use the information. If I were to rely only on Seeing Eye GPS for driving directions, then I couldn't easily share it with my driver because in most cases I would have to turn down the speech rate of Voice Over and on top of that, it's text only and most sighted people like the visual map elements. Don't get me wrong, I think this app is great and I still feel that for many people it will be better than the alternative apps mentioned above. As a technology trainer myself I will be more than happy to recommend this to some of my clients who might benefit from it. However for me personally I don't think it will be my primary gps app of choice. The one thing which I really like, and like a lot, is its feature of telling you when a street is coming up and if it's a street which spans left and right, or only left or only right. I hope this helps. -- Raul A.

RE: Seree and voice over are not working
Val, Your Voiceover volume could still be 0 which means you might hear the SIRI message but not Voiceover. It is possible SIRI somehow got turned off, but you would have to first get to Settings, General, SIRI to check this. Can you explain exactly step by step what happens if you press the home key to wake up the phone? Do you hear Voiceover at this point? If you don't hear Voiceover at all, there are 3 possibilities: 1. The volume is totally down for Voiceover in which case often using a headset will work because speaker volume and headset volume are independent and even if speaker volume is down, it may not be so for the headset. 2. You accidently turned off Voiceover with a triple click of the home key, if so, a triple click of the home key will turn it on again if you set this up to be so in Settings, General, Accessibility. However, if you are not sure I really would plug in a headset before doing this because of course if it's just the volume and you do a triple press of the home key, Voiceover would get turned off. 3. You may have muted speech with a 3-finger double tap. In this case another 3-finger double tap will unmute it, of course the iPhone has to be woken up first, but you can do this 3-finger double tap even on the lock screen. Once again, if this is not the case and Voiceover is actually running but just at 0 volume, then you would mute it with the 3-finger double tap, so once again, first plug in a headset and let me know if this does anything. If all else fails you can try to do a reset of the phone by holding down the power button at the top and the home key together for about 10 seconds. Give your phone plenty of time to come back, maybe a couple of minutes. You could of course ask a sighted person to help you trouble shoot this, you could ask them to go to Settings, General, Accessibility and Voiceover to see if Voiceover has gotten turned off. If somebody is helping you and they, for example, tap on Settings and nothing happens that most likely means Voiceover is running, you can then ask them to double tap on Settings and if that works then Voiceover is most definitely running. One way to raise the volume is to make sure you are on the home screen, then do a 2-finger swipe up. This will get Voiceover to start reading all the apps on the home screen, after you swipe up with 2 fingers start pressing the volume up button repeatedly. But, as I said, your absolutely first step should be to plug in a headset and then let the list know if this works.

Digit-Eyes Version 2
We are delighted to announce that Apple has approved and released the new version of Digit-Eyes. This version of the Digit-Eyes software has a completely new and simplified user interface design. New features include - the ability to create lists, - to add the items you have scanned to lists; - add text of your own to lists and - to share the lists with other people. - If you have a bluetooth-connected printer, you can now print labels from your iPhone, iPad or iPod on your printer. - In addition to reading QR code, UPC/EAN codes and codes 3 of 9 and code 128, it now reads the shelf tag format used by Kroger stores, the fastest growing and largest grocery chain in the US. - The new version also features integral laser scanner support to allow you to easily use your bluetooth-connected laser scanner with your iPhone, iPod or iPad. So what are these features *for* and why did we do them? The list feature makes it easy to remember what you are going to buy and what you need. When I scan something that I'm going to use to make dinner and I want to replace it, I just add it to the grocery list. When the husband goes to the store, I click 'email' and send him the list (plus any additional items I want.)Very handy! The ability to print labels from the phone was created in response to customer requests. Kroger is the fastest growing grocery chain in the US. They own Kroger, King Soopers, Frys Groceries, Ralphs, Pay Less Supermarkets, Owen's Supermarkets, Fred Meyer, Scotts Food Pharmacy, Smiths Food, QFF, Dillons, Baker's FoodsCo, CityMarket, Food4Less, JayC, QuikShop, Gerbes, Harris Teeter and others. All their stores use the same labels. The labels contain UPC numbers, but not in UPC format. Now, with Digit-Eyes, you can take your phone any Kroger store and read the shelf labels -- no more hunting for codes on products! Finally, for people who want to have an integrated laser scanner, you can now get the KoamTac KDC400-series iPhone laser cradle, snap your phone into it and use it as input to Digit-Eyes on your iPhone. The KDC400 serves as a case for your phone; it still performs all phone functions, but it is also a laser scanner. And, of course, it uses VoiceOver. So if you have a need at work (as one of our customers did) to recognizing items at high speed very high speed (or even if you just want to have laser recognition), this gives you a laser-based solution that is enormously faster than the IDMate, is significantly cheaper, has no database update cost and that fits seamlessly with the phone that you already have. This version also integrates with discrete (separate) laser scanners, enabling you to initiate scanning from your phone or to use the scanner controls to drive input into Digit-Eyes. The update is free and if you have a copy already, you'll be receiving your update shortly, if you have not gotten it already. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: App Turns Smartphone Into Virtual Cane
I wouldn't be happy using a £500 phone for the job even if it did; not when I can make my plastic one for about £20. But this is a common sighted perspective, who, not having to do this main streamm or way of life, has no real idea of the level of detail involved in the mobility process. College courses hardly fill the gap as they're taught by,... more sighted. Like I said, they meant well, but can't see it catching on.

It's easy to imagine that being blind or visually impaired more or less excludes people from using smartphones or tablets. But nothing could be further from the truth. App stores have a dizzying variety of products that help the visually impaired access all kinds of information much more easily than would otherwise be possible. These apps offer audio books, match clothes by colour and even offer games played by hearing and touch alone. But the apps designed to give directions all suffer from the same drawbacks-audio directions are helpful but also screen out other audio such as conversations or the sound of traffic nearby. What's more, GPS does not work indoors so these kinds of systems are of little use in homes and other buildings Now Pierluigi Gallo and buddies at the University of Palermo in Italy have come up with an alternative which offers the blind navigational help without any form of audio distraction or the need for GPS. The approach is surprisingly simple and inspired by the famous Greek myth of Ariadne and Theseus. In the story, Theseus volunteers to kill the Minotaur which lives in a labyrinth on the island of Crete. To help him, Ariadne gives him a sword to kill the beast and a ball of thread to help him find his way out when the deed is done. Gallo and co take a similar approach with their prototype smartphone app called Arianna, the Italian name for Ariadne. (It's also short for pAth Recognition for Indoor Assisted NavigatioN with Augmented perception.) Their idea is to map out a route through a building by sticking coloured tape on the ground. The user then switches on the smartphone camera and points it towards the ground, while placing a finger on the screen. He or she then waves the camera back and forth, scanning the ground for the line. In the meantime, the app analyses the frames produced by the camera, picking out the line as it moves across the screen. When the line passes under the user's finger on the screen, the app causes the smartphone to vibrate, providing a tactile indication of where the line falls. Scanning the smartphone back and forth allows the user to follow the line in the same way as he or she might use a cane (see diagram above). At the same time, QR codes placed on the ground can give the user other information such as the location of places such as toilets, water coolers, shops and so on. Gallo and co say they tested their virtual cane in December at workshop in Boston organised by the Andrea Bocelli Foundation and say it works well. And they plan significant upgrades in future. One idea is to use infrared lines that are not visible but can nevertheless be picked up by smartphone cameras which are sensitive to infrared. This infrared sensitivity is currently an under-used feature of most smartphones, they point out. And that raises the possibility of games and challenges that are equally accessible to the blind and sighted. All in all, this software could be a significant help to the blind and visually impaired. Hi-tech aids for this disability tend to be expensive because they have to be specially designed and manufactured for a relatively small group of people. But with smartphones widely available at affordable prices, much of the technology necessary for Ariana is available off-the-shelf.

It's easy to imagine that being blind or visually impaired more or less excludes people from using smartphones or tablets. But nothing could be further from the truth. App stores have a dizzying variety of products that help the visually impaired access all kinds of information much more easily than would otherwise be possible. These apps offer audio books, match clothes by colour and even offer games played by hearing and touch alone. But the apps designed to give directions all suffer from the same drawbacks-audio directions are helpful but also screen out other audio such as conversations or the sound of traffic nearby. What's more, GPS does not work indoors so these kinds of systems are of little use in homes and other buildings Now Pierluigi Gallo and buddies at the University of Palermo in Italy have come up with an alternative which offers the blind navigational help without any form of audio distraction or the need for GPS. The approach is surprisingly simple and inspired by the famous Greek myth of Ariadne and Theseus. In the story, Theseus volunteers to kill the Minotaur which lives in a labyrinth on the island of Crete. To help him, Ariadne gives him a sword to kill the beast and a ball of thread to help him find his way out when the deed is done. Gallo and co take a similar approach with their prototype smartphone app called Arianna, the Italian name for Ariadne. (It's also short for pAth Recognition for Indoor Assisted NavigatioN with Augmented perception.) Their idea is to map out a route through a building by sticking coloured tape on the ground. The user then switches on the smartphone camera and points it towards the ground, while placing a finger on the screen. He or she then waves the camera back and forth, scanning the ground for the line. In the meantime, the app analyses the frames produced by the camera, picking out the line as it moves across the screen. When the line passes under the user's finger on the screen, the app causes the smartphone to vibrate, providing a tactile indication of where the line falls. Scanning the smartphone back and forth allows the user to follow the line in the same way as he or she might use a cane (see diagram above). At the same time, QR codes placed on the ground can give the user other information such as the location of places such as toilets, water coolers, shops and so on. Gallo and co say they tested their virtual cane in December at workshop in Boston organised by the Andrea Bocelli Foundation and say it works well. And they plan significant upgrades in future. One idea is to use infrared lines that are not visible but can nevertheless be picked up by smartphone cameras which are sensitive to infrared. This infrared sensitivity is currently an under-used feature of most smartphones, they point out. And that raises the possibility of games and challenges that are equally accessible to the blind and sighted. All in all, this software could be a significant help to the blind and visually impaired.

Re: SpellStack now out on the App Store
This spelling game is a very interesting game. I am trying to get the hang of it, and it seems pretty easy, although I don't quite understand some of it. It is very accessible. And I think I'm going to like it. I also just got the stem stumper game and am learning that. Glad there are tutorials for these games. Thank you too this developer.

Hi Sieghard! Thanks for the email. when I hit the home key it says the time. And siri says “siri not available, connect to the internet” I bought myself a bluetooth ear piece. I gave my son the head phones that came with the 5c. Of course, I had no clue how valuablable in might be for trouble shooting. Currently, I cannot ask siri anything. When I have the bluetooth on I can hear the home keysound the voice over makes. However, I can’t when the bluetooth is off. when I run my finger around the screen I hear the clicking. I can check battery power etc. A friend is coming over and I will ask him to go to accessibility and see if voice over is off. I also, called my provider and this was their suggestion “ STEPS TO ACTIVATE INTERNET ON IPHONE 5C TAP ON SETTINGS TAP ON GENERAL TAP ON CELLULAR TURN CELLULAR DATA ON STEPS TO ACTIVATE SIRI TAP ON SETTINGS TAP GENERAL TAP SIRI AND TURN IT ON “ All suggestions and guidance are greatly appreciated. Val From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Thursday, January 9, 2014 11:49 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Seree and voice over are not working Val, Your Voiceover volume could still be 0 which means you might hear the SIRI message but not Voiceover. It is possible SIRI somehow got turned off, but you would have to first get to Settings, General, SIRI to check this. Can you explain exactly step by step what happens if you press the home key to wake up the phone? Do you hear Voiceover at this point? If you don’t hear Voiceover at all, there are 3 possibilities: 1. The volume is totally down for Voiceover in which case often using a headset will work because speaker volume and headset volume are independent and even if speaker volume is down, it may not be so for the headset. 2. You accidently turned off Voiceover with a triple click of the home key, if so, a triple click of the home key will turn it on again if you set this up to be so in Settings, General, Accessibility. However, if you are not sure I really would plug in a headset before doing this because of course if it’s just the volume and you do a triple press of the home key, Voiceover would get turned off. 3. You may have muted speech with a 3-finger double tap. In this case another 3-finger double tap will unmute it, of course the iPhone has to be woken up first, but you can do this 3-finger double tap even on the lock screen. Once again, if this is not the case and Voiceover is actually running but just at 0 volume, then you would mute it with the 3-finger double tap, so once again, first plug in a headset and let me know if this does anything. If all else fails you can try to do a reset of the phone by holding down the power button at the top and the home key together for about 10 seconds. Give your phone plenty of time to come back, maybe a couple of minutes. You could of course ask a sighted person to help you trouble shoot this, you could ask them to go to Settings, General, Accessibility and Voiceover to see if Voiceover has gotten turned off. If somebody is helping you and they, for example, tap on Settings and nothing happens that most likely means Voiceover is running, you can then ask them to double tap on Settings and if that works then Voiceover is most definitely running. One way to raise the volume is to make sure you are on the home screen, then do a 2-finger swipe up. This will get Voiceover to start reading all the apps on the home screen, after you swipe up with 2 fingers start pressing the volume up button repeatedly. But, as I said, your absolutely first step should be to plug in a headset and then let the list know if this works.

Hi. Where can this KoamTac kdc400 be bought. THere is also a 450, but what is the difference. I can not read, that it is a case too. Thank you an advance. Best regards Annie. Den 09 Jan 2014 kl. 17:57 skrev Nancy M nmira...@gmail.com: We are delighted to announce that Apple has approved and released the new version of Digit-Eyes.

New features include the ability to create lists, to add the items you have scanned to lists; add text of your own to lists and to share the lists with other people. If you have a bluetooth-connected printer, you can now print labels from your iPhone, iPad or iPod on your printer. In addition to reading QR code, UPC/EAN codes and codes 3 of 9 and code 128, it now reads the shelf tag format used by Kroger stores, the fastest growing and largest grocery chain in the US. The new version also features integral laser scanner support to allow you to easily use your bluetooth-connected laser scanner with your iPhone, iPod or iPad. So what are these features for and why did we do them? The list feature makes it easy to remember what you are going to buy and what you need.

All their stores use the same labels. The labels contain UPC numbers, but not in UPC format. Now, with Digit-Eyes, you can take your phone any Kroger store and read the shelf labels -- no more hunting for codes on products! Finally, for people who want to have an integrated laser scanner, you can now get the KoamTac KDC400-series iPhone laser cradle, snap your phone into it and use it as input to Digit-Eyes on your iPhone. The KDC400 serves as a case for your phone; it still performs all phone functions, but it is also a laser scanner. And, of course, it uses VoiceOver. So if you have a need at work (as one of our customers did) to recognizing items at high speed very high speed (or even if you just want to have laser recognition), this gives you a laser-based solution that is enormously faster than the IDMate, is significantly cheaper, has no database update cost and that fits seamlessly with the phone that you already have. This version also integrates with discrete (separate) laser scanners, enabling you to initiate scanning from your phone or to use the scanner controls to drive input into Digit-Eyes.

Improving MBraille Ability in Table Mode
Hello, everyone. As a new user of the wonderful MBraille app, I greatly favor Away mode over Table mode. I took to Away mode quite naturally, but managing in Table mode is proving more daunting. I have noticed that if I type a long string of characters without entering a space that Table mode works quite well for me; but if I enter a space and then resume typing characters, I lose the open-V position of my fingers critical to using Table mode effectively. I'd be interested to hear about users who have mastered and might ven prefer Table mode. I admit that my question is largely academic since, after all, nothing is stopping me from using Away mode.

Re: Digit-Eyes Version 2
Hi Rick, A follow-up to your question about Wi-Fi printers. I have Print Central on my phone, with the WE utiity on my PC. If I read your post correctly, this will not work to print labels from the phone with Digit-eyes? What do you think. I guess I can test this out when I get back home.

Best Regards, Rick alfaro On 1/9/2014 11:57 AM, Nancy M wrote: We are delighted to announce that Apple has approved and released the new version of Digit-Eyes. This version of the Digit-Eyes software has a completely new and simplified user interface design. New features include * the ability to create lists, * toadd the items you have scanned to lists; * add text of your own to lists and * to share the lists with other people. * If you have a bluetooth-connected printer, you can now print labels from your iPhone, iPad or iPod on your printer. * In addition to reading QR code, UPC/EAN codes and codes 3 of 9 and code 128, it now reads the shelf tag format used by Kroger stores, the fastest growing and largest grocery chain in the US. * The new version also features integral laser scanner support to allow you to easily use your bluetooth-connected laser scanner with your iPhone, iPod or iPad. So what are these features /*for*/ and why did we do them? The list feature makes it easy to remember what you are going to buy and what you need. When I scan something that I'm going to use to make dinner and I want to replace it, I just add it to the grocery list. When the husband goes to the store, I click 'email' and send him the list (plus any additional items I want.)Very handy! The ability to print labels from the phone was created in response to customer requests. Kroger is the fastest growing grocery chain in the US. They own Kroger, King Soopers, Frys Groceries, Ralphs, Pay Less Supermarkets, Owen's Supermarkets, Fred Meyer, Scotts Food Pharmacy, Smiths Food, QFF, Dillons, Baker's FoodsCo, CityMarket, Food4Less, JayC, QuikShop, Gerbes, Harris Teeter and others. All their stores use the same labels. The labels contain UPC numbers, but not in UPC format. Now, with Digit-Eyes, you can take your phone any Kroger store and read the shelf labels -- no more hunting for codes on products! Finally, for people who want to have an integrated laser scanner, you can now get the KoamTac KDC400-series iPhone laser cradle, snap your phone into it and use it as input to Digit-Eyes on your iPhone. The KDC400 serves as a case for your phone; it still performs all phone functions, but it is also a laser scanner. And, of course, it uses VoiceOver. So if you have a need at work (as one of our customers did) to recognizing items at high speed very high speed (or even if you just want to have laser recognition), this gives you a laser-based solution that is enormously faster than the IDMate, is significantly cheaper, has no database update cost and that fits seamlessly with the phone that you already have. This version also integrates with discrete (separate) laser scanners, enabling you to initiate scanning from your phone or to use the scanner controls to drive input into Digit-Eyes. The update is free and if you have a copy already, you'll be receiving your update shortly, if you have not gotten it already. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

It's easy to imagine that being blind or visually impaired more or less excludes people from using smartphones or tablets. But nothing could be further from the truth. App stores have a dizzying variety of products that help the visually impaired access all kinds of information much more easily than would otherwise be possible. These apps offer audio books, match clothes by colour and even offer games played by hearing and touch alone. But the apps designed to give directions all suffer from the same drawbacks-audio directions are helpful but also screen out other audio such as conversations or the sound of traffic nearby. What's more, GPS does not work indoors so these kinds of systems are of little use in homes and other buildings Now Pierluigi Gallo and buddies at the University of Palermo in Italy have come up with an alternative which offers the blind navigational help without any form of audio distraction or the need for GPS. The approach is surprisingly simple and inspired by the famous Greek myth of Ariadne and Theseus. In the story, Theseus volunteers to kill the Minotaur which lives in a labyrinth on the island of Crete. To help him, Ariadne gives him a sword to kill the beast and a ball of thread to help him find his way out when the deed is done. Gallo and co take a similar approach with their prototype smartphone app called Arianna, the Italian name for Ariadne. (It's also short for pAth Recognition for Indoor Assisted NavigatioN with Augmented perception.) Their idea is to map out a route through a building by sticking coloured tape on the ground. The user then switches on the smartphone camera and points it towards the ground, while placing a finger on the screen. He or she then waves the camera back and forth, scanning the ground for the line. In the meantime, the app analyses the frames produced by the camera, picking out the line as it moves across the screen. When the line passes under the user's finger on the screen, the app causes the smartphone to vibrate, providing a tactile indication of where the line falls. Scanning the smartphone back and forth allows the user to follow the line in the same way as he or she

RE: Seeing Eye GPS adds monthly subscription
Hello Raul, I still have not purchased or tried the SeeingEye app but I've been hoping to find someone who might have done a comparison between the SeeingEye and Google Maps to determine which of these apps uses more cellular data. I too use Google Maps on a regular basis and find it very accessible and easy to use for my purposes, and yes, it's spot on when it comes to directions and destinations. I'm guessing that you watch your data usage regularly and so was hoping that you have checked or will soon be checking on the data usage of each app. Thanks, DJ -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A. Gallegos Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2014 8:19 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Seeing Eye GPS adds monthly subscription Hi, first off let me say that I have only been using the Seeing Eye GPS app from Sendero for several days. The first thing I noticed was how easy it is to use. Virtually nothing needs to be set up and configured with it. It speaks the necessary information about street crossings as you walk. If you are riding in a vehicle and are going relatively fast, then the intersections are suppressed. If you are in a route, it clearly gives turn by turn information and it's very easy to figure out what it means. I'm still not sure if I will continue using it as my primary gps source however, but this isn't through any fault of the app. Prior to trying out this app, I usually use a combination of BlindSquare or Ariadne to know where I am at a given point and Google Maps or MapQuest or Apple Maps for turn by turn directions. Along with those apps, Hop Stop for bus information and Metro Trip for my local bus information. Yes, this is a combination of multiple apps. However quite often I don't need to use more than one at a time. If I'm walking somewhere to get from point A to point B usually Ariadne or BlindSquare is used. I'm not in situations where I need walking directions to get somewhere because usually when I go somewhere I've already got the directions down and I just use non-technical orientation and mobility skills to find what I'm looking for. In a case where a building might need to be found, then Ariadne or BlindSquare is good about telling me what address range I'm in to make sure I'm in the right area. For times when I'm riding in a vehicle, Google Maps is the preferred choice app because its directions are spot on, and because the app gives the necessary information in such a way that both me and my sighted driver can use the information. If I were to rely only on Seeing Eye GPS for driving directions, then I couldn't easily share it with my driver because in most cases I would have to turn down the speech rate of Voice Over and on top of that, it's text only and most sighted people like the visual map elements. Don't get me wrong, I think this app is great and I still feel that for many people it will be better than the alternative apps mentioned above. As a technology trainer myself I will be more than happy to recommend this to some of my clients who might benefit from it. However for me personally I don't think it will be my primary gps app of choice. The one thing which I really like, and like a lot, is its feature of telling you when a street is coming up and if it's a street which spans left and right, or only left or only right. I hope this helps. -- Raul A.

Also, if you don't travel much and only need it occasionally, you could pay for those times you will need it, assuming of course that you will need it less than 6 or 7 times per year since then the cost per year or 3 years would start to be better anyway.

RE: Digit-Eyes Version 2
Thank you Nancy for the hard work that has gone into this app. I find it very useful and have already recommended it to some of my clients. Keep up the great work! DJ _ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Nancy M Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2014 11:57 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Digit-Eyes Version 2 We are delighted to announce that Apple has approved and released the new version of Digit-Eyes. This version of the Digit-Eyes software has a completely new and simplified user interface design. New features include * the ability to create lists, * to add the items you have scanned to lists; *add text of your own to lists and * to share the lists with other people. * If you have a bluetooth-connected printer, you can now print labels from your iPhone, iPad or iPod on your printer. * In addition to reading QR code, UPC/EAN codes and codes 3 of 9 and code 128, it now reads the shelf tag format used by Kroger stores, the fastest growing and largest grocery chain in the US. * The new version also features integral laser scanner support to allow you to easily use your bluetooth-connected laser scanner with your iPhone, iPod or iPad. So what are these features for and why did we do them? The list feature makes it easy to remember what you are going to buy and what you need. When I scan something that I'm going to use to make dinner and I want to replace it, I just add it to the grocery list. When the husband goes to the store, I click 'email' and send him the list (plus any additional items I want.)Very handy! The ability to print labels from the phone was created in response to customer requests. Kroger is the fastest growing grocery chain in the US. They own Kroger, King Soopers, Frys Groceries, Ralphs, Pay Less Supermarkets, Owen's Supermarkets, Fred Meyer, Scotts Food Pharmacy, Smiths Food, QFF, Dillons, Baker's FoodsCo, CityMarket, Food4Less, JayC, QuikShop, Gerbes, Harris Teeter and others. All their stores use the same labels. The labels contain UPC numbers, but not in UPC format. Now, with Digit-Eyes, you can take your phone any Kroger store and read the shelf labels -- no more hunting for codes on products! Finally, for people who want to have an integrated laser scanner, you can now get the KoamTac KDC400-series iPhone laser cradle, snap your phone into it and use it as input to Digit-Eyes on your iPhone. The KDC400 serves as a case for your phone; it still performs all phone functions, but it is also a laser scanner. And, of course, it uses VoiceOver. So if you have a need at work (as one of our customers did) to recognizing items at high speed very high speed (or even if you just want to have laser recognition), this gives you a laser-based solution that is enormously faster than the IDMate, is significantly cheaper, has no database update cost and that fits seamlessly with the phone that you already have. This version also integrates with discrete (separate) laser scanners, enabling you to initiate scanning from your phone or to use the scanner controls to drive input into Digit-Eyes. The update is free and if you have a copy already, you'll be receiving your update shortly, if you have not gotten it already. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Digit-Eyes Version 2
Hi Eileen. Honestly, I haven't looked at the new version of DigitEyes so not sure how it handles printing like via a print button where one can choose the printer.

App Turns Smartphone Into Virtual Cane
Hi all Yeah, there is a thing called appropriate technology and, so far as I have ever noticed that means a cane, or a dog, or sighted assistance. Could you whack an overhanging hedge which had just stuck in your eye with an iPhone? Nah, but you can with a cane. Will your iPhone keep you company when you are temporarily lost? Nah, but a dog will. Will the iPhone attract the kind attention of others? Nah, it might get you bopped over the head and your phone nicked, but a dog will at least attract animal lovers who may help you. Which reminds me that the first time I ever heard of such a thing as this, was in a statement by a relatively extreme animal welfare organisation which was bothered by all us blindies oppressing dogs and had seen something similar to this and thought that was the herald of the end of dog slavery. I’ve never tried one of those sonic torch things, but I have heard of them. I tried some silly glasses which which vibrated when you got near an object. All it did was set the fillings in my teeth off and I would certainly hope to be moving a bit faster than this device allowed for. Wasn’t very good at detecting pits in the ground with crocodiles at the bottom either. And I said I was going to be less grumpy and sarcastic this year:) Adrienne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Charge up to nine devices in one place with the Powerqube!
Hi does this power cube run on A battery so you can use the power outlets with out having this power cube plugged in? And I you have to have the power cube plugged in to keep it charged up as well so your I phone stays charged with out running out of charging power while it is recharging it? So what all comes with this power cube when you order it and how exactly do you use it for recharging your iPhone and the power outlets on it?

I just noticed that the Seeing Eye GPS app has an update. Amongst several bug fixes and enhancements they have added a monthly subscription. I don't yet know the cost however because when I try to go there I get an error telling me that it's unable to purchase. Most likely this is an error they overlooked because I see the price for the 3 year and the 1 year subscription, but the monthly one has no price. So, I'm curious to find out what that subscription will be. If anyone here knows what that cost is, please share. I haven't looked on their site as yet because I'm writing this email just a minute after trying the app on the iPhone. So if the information is there, this is my bad for being lazy and not checking first. Thanks. -- Raul A. Gallegos Me, jealous of you?

RE: Accessible cookbook apps
Hi DJ, People have mentioned AllRecipes, Epicurious, Betty Crocker, Paprika and more. I just searched the archives for accessible cookbook and it comes up with 43 results. These are displayed 10 per page, e.g. 1 through 10, 11 through 20 etc. and at the end of each page are buttons to access page 12, 3 and 4. Each result is designated as Heading Level 3 so it's super easy to browse through the results, you can read a line or so of text for each and click on it to open. I would encourage you to take a look.

RE: Bluetooth headset
Hi Kim, The only single ear piece which apparently can do this is the Plantronics Voyager Legend HD. I have had 2 or 3 high-end earpieces, Jawbone, Plantronics and the one I currently use, the Jabra Supreme, and none of them have Play/Pause function. I always thought it was strange how this is standard on even cheaper stereo Bluetooth headsets, but ever since Audible fixed their resume playback after a phone call I really don't care so much any more.

RE: Seeing Eye GPS adds monthly subscription
Hi DJ, I consider the data usage of most GPS apps negligible and unless you use the app every day for several hours and have only 100 or 200 Mb of data I don't think you have to worry about it.

I too use Google Maps on a regular basis and find it very accessible and easy to use for my purposes, and yes, it's spot on when it comes to directions and destinations. I'm guessing that you watch your data usage regularly and so was hoping that you have checked or will soon be checking on the data usage of each app. Thanks, DJ -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A. Gallegos Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2014 8:19 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Seeing Eye GPS adds monthly subscription Hi, first off let me say that I have only been using the Seeing Eye GPS app from Sendero for several days. The first thing I noticed was how easy it is to use. Virtually nothing needs to be set up and configured with it. It speaks the necessary information about street crossings as you walk. If you are riding in a vehicle and are going relatively fast, then the intersections are suppressed. If you are in a route, it clearly gives turn by turn information and it's very easy to figure out what it means. I'm still not sure if I will continue using it as my primary gps source however, but this isn't through any fault of the app. Prior to trying out this app, I usually use a combination of BlindSquare or Ariadne to know where I am at a given point and Google Maps or MapQuest or Apple Maps for turn by turn directions. Along with those apps, Hop Stop for bus information and Metro Trip for my local bus information. Yes, this is a combination of multiple apps. However quite often I don't need to use more than one at a time. If I'm walking somewhere to get from point A to point B usually Ariadne or BlindSquare is used. I'm not in situations where I need walking directions to get somewhere because usually when I go somewhere I've already got the directions down and I just use non-technical orientation and mobility skills to find what I'm looking for. In a case where a building might need to be found, then Ariadne or BlindSquare is good about telling me what address range I'm in to make sure I'm in the right area. For times when I'm riding in a vehicle, Google Maps is the preferred choice app because its directions are spot on, and because the app gives the necessary information in such a way that both me and my sighted driver can use the information. If I were to rely only on Seeing Eye GPS for driving directions, then I couldn't easily share it with my driver because in most cases I would have to turn down the speech rate of Voice Over and on top of that, it's text only and most sighted people like the visual map elements. Don't get me wrong, I think this app is great and I still feel that for many people it will be better than the alternative apps mentioned above. As a technology trainer myself I will be more than happy to recommend this to some of my clients who might benefit from it. However for me personally I don't think it will be my primary gps app of choice. The one thing which I really like, and like a lot, is its feature of telling you when a street is coming up and if it's a street which spans left and right, or only left or only right. I hope this helps. -- Raul A.

RE: Charge up to nine devices in one place with the Powerqube!
This is strictly a power bar like any where you plug it in to an outlet and have 4, 5, 6 or more outlets. Only difference with this one is the fact that it also includes 3 USB ports, but there is no battery and it has to be plugged in at all time. It's a convenience so you can find a good spot near an outlet, plug it in and then plug all your devices into it to charge. There is at least one and maybe by now more than one company which also make decora wall plates which include a couple of USB ports. The average person would need an electrician to wire them in, but once done you would have a wall outlet with your standard 2 plug-ins and 2 USB ports all on a standard decora style wall plate.

Re: Bread Crumb GPS
Hi Ward, There’s both a free and paid version of an app called MyWay which works very well. Link app store description of free version below. In short though, it will allow you to drop a series of breadcrumbs which you can save as a route, modify or add to at a later time and of course start following from either end whenever you like. You can setup as many of these routes as you like. https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/myway-lite/id494516234?mt=8 GPS orientation aid which provides distance and directional information to a selected point of interest. Such a point can be an address from your address book or a point of a self-defined route. The non-free version of MyWay also allows file exchange via the iTunes filesharing option. There, you can also import files containing nodes in Open Street Map format giving access to hundreds of POI in the proximity such as bus stops or restaurants. Thanks to VoiceOver, visually impaired and blind people have unlimited access to this app. We recommend to turn on speaking of VoiceOver hints.

RE: Long pressing letters
It cannot be turned off unless you switch to standard typing which means you have to double or split tap each letter. You will have to train yourself not to leave your finger on one letter for too long, if you feel you need a break and you don't want to lift your finger if you are on a letter just move to the Return key at the bottom right and you can lift it without anything happening. I find it's mostly just a matter of getting used to this.
