RE: Applications to help with diabetes control
Hi, I use the IBGStar meter. Its appeal for me is that it clips directly to the bottom of my phone, so I don't need to carry two different devices. However, they don't yet have a version that attaches directly to the new lightening port. This is what has kept me from upgrading to the iPhone 5 The IBGStar app is usable enough to see your current reading, past readings and averages over different time periods, but is far from fully accessible. It is usable enough once your figure out how to get around the inaccessible parts. There are better apps if you are going to manually record your readings, so I would give this one a miss unless you're going to use the meter with your iPhone, which I do because of its convenience. When I finally do upgrade my iPhone, if they don't yet have one that connects to the lightening port, I will be re-investigating different options. Glucose buddy has been already mentioned, and I just thought I would add to those comments, if your manually recording your readings and use Glucose buddy it can sync with www.glucose budy.com which means you can either log from your phone or from a computer if your near one. You can also see long-term glucose averages etc from the web site.

RE: Applications to help with diabetes control
Hi Brett and others, I am not a diabetic, but based on what Apple announced at WWDC with regards to Health Kit, the health app and the cooperation with manufacturers of medical equipment I would think that in the next year or so there will be a number of devices and apps which should all tie into the Health app. Hopefully these will be accessible, but with Apple's focus on accessibility and bringing all of this together I think there is a good chance a lot of it will be accessible. I would also think that given the wide spread occurance of diabetes in North America this should be a focus.

Re: Places Around
John, I too got Places Around and noticed all the unlabeled buttons. Actually, the default view of the app has unlabeled buttons for various categories one might want to find and the text which identifies the button is just below it. So as you swipe to the right, you'll pass over three unlabeled buttons and as you continue swiping, the next line should speak the associated label. You can execute the item by double tapping either the button or the text label. If you go into settings, there is an option to change the view and I would recommend that you change it to classic from the default which is something like mosaic. The classic view gets rid of the unlabeled buttons.

Experience with New DropVox Upgrade?
I just noticed that DropVox, the recording app tied to Dropbox, had an extensive update as of June 18th. I normally am slow to install these major updates due to concern about VoiceOver not working as well afterwards. This update says DropVox was completely rewritten for iOS 7 and that its default file format is now mp3 instead of the former m4a. Before I upgrade, I wondered what others who have already installed the upgrade have to say about how they like it and if VoiceOver accessibility still works well. Thanks in advance.

Re: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?
i use my iPhone 5 extensively and got an iPad a year ago to share with my sighted husband. I am glad he uses it since I don't bother with it at all anymore as I can do anything on my phone that I could do on the iPad. I find the iPad very difficult to use as the screen layouts are so different and the large screen makes it harder to feel around for the items I want. I have used the iDevices with a BT keyboard for a few weeks at a time when away on vacation but was extremely glad to get back to my windows laptop. I use Excel a lot and have not mastered the Numbers app for this as yet. Also, doing the hundreds of emails I get daily is much quicker on the laptop. Surfing the Internet is so much quicker with IE or Firefox. . But the main thing I use the laptop for is copying and storing articles, recipes, information and such. When an email or webpage has information I might find useful in the future I copy the relevant info and quickly save it in my Dropbox folder. I have huge files of health articles, recipes, iDevice information, computer and Jaws info, and tons of other stuff. I have not figured out how to quickly (or slowly for that matter) copy items from the web or email on my IOS device and save them in my files for future reference. Another thing the Windows laptop can do is handle certain functions on Facebook that I can't do with the regular Facebook app.I also agree with the person who mentioned the ability to use USB memory sticks for the NLS readers and other backup purposes. I use my iPhone to listen to books during the day but find my NLS player easier for night listening. If you need a new computer you can get a budget laptop for less than an iPad and then you have the best of both worlds. just my biased opinion... Sherrie Gosling -Original Message- From: Teresa Cochran Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2014 9:37 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring? Hi, all, I have a computer that needs a hard-drive replacement, at the very least, and possibly has a failed logic board. I'm seriously considering replacing it with an iPad. Price is only somewhat an issue, since there seems to be only about $100 US difference between a new model I would want and the iPad. Mainly, I don't want the hassle of replacing moving parts and getting dust and cat-hair and such snarled up in it. I'm also extremely comfortable with iOS and use my iPod 5th gen constantly. I intend to use the iPad with a keyboard. So has anyone else taken this sort of step? Am I out of my mind, or do you think this is doable? I am a casual user. I read books, browse the web, play videos and music and games, and occasionally write for informal publications. What do you guys think?

SpeedSmart WiFi Speed Test Mobile Speedtest
Does anyone use this app or something similar? I just had to reset my airport extreme and wireless network. I have also considered buying an airport express. Both of these things have lead me to wonder, how strong is my wifi network anyway? I read that the airport express can only extent the signal your network is putting out. This of course makes sense. So if my signal is weak in some part of the house, the express will extend that weak signal. If I'm understanding it all. Lol! Anyway, I thought I should pay some attention to my wifi speeds.

Re: Experience with New DropVox Upgrade?
Hello, I have DropVox 2. While it works just fine with VoiceOver, I have found a problem and I'm not sure it's the app itself. Before I upgraded from 123 to 2, I had no problems with shairing recordings through links in email and text messages. Now, however, when I share a link to a recording, the recording downloads into Safari, but it never plays. As I mentioned, I didn't have this problem prior to the upgrade. I have used the bug report and requests for help buttons from within DropVox settings. So far, no response. I am suspecting a potential problem with coading for mp3. Sent from my Sprint iPhone 4S.

Re: Aftershokz bluez II
Hi Hope, If you wait about 20 seconds after the Bluez has stopped using A2DP, the volume buttons will give you battery status. The same thing for Siri usage. You have to wait until A2DP is inactive before using Siri. Also, when A2DP is active, pressing and holding the button on the left earpiece is actually toggling you between to different equalizer settings. One has more bass than the other.

Re: Aftershokz bluez II
Good luck. I can almost never get Siri to work, no matter how long I wait, and that twenty second timer resets with *any* sound. For VoiceOver users, that means that anything speech says, or any clicks V makes, causes you to have to start waiting again. One of the many things I really dislike about the new version.

RE: Places Around
Donna, I don't know what version of Places Around you're running but version 3.3 which I just installed a couple of days ago uses a default theme called Mosaic to display its categories. There are unlabeled buttons in this theme view but the labels are on the lines below the buttons and will execute the function. It is not very efficient with VoiceOver but it does work. If you go into settings and change the theme to Classic, the categories are presented in an alphabetized list and no unlabeled buttons are present.

Surfing the Internet is so much quicker with IE or Firefox. . But the main thing I use the laptop for is copying and storing articles, recipes, information and such. When an email or webpage has information I might find useful in the future I copy the relevant info and quickly save it in my Dropbox folder. I have huge files of health articles, recipes, iDevice information, computer and Jaws info, and tons of other stuff. I have not figured out how to quickly (or slowly for that matter) copy items from the web or email on my IOS device and save them in my files for future reference. Another thing the Windows laptop can do is handle certain functions on Facebook that I can't do with the regular Facebook app.I also agree with the person who mentioned the ability to use USB memory sticks for the NLS readers and other backup purposes. I use my iPhone to listen to books during the day but find my NLS player easier for night listening. If you need a new computer you can get a budget laptop for less than an iPad and then you have the best of both worlds. just my biased opinion...

Yes, Apple routers can detect other Apple routers, and if you give proper identification, will boost the signal of your wifi. They do this seemlessly and automatically. It is very cool.

Re: Confusion over syncing outlook contacts
The advantage of syncing your contacts with iCloud instead is no matter where your iDevice is, you can get them back. If your only syncing them with say Microsoft Outlook then you can't retrieve them until you get back home.

Line Missing From Rotor
Hello, I have found that, often, line is missing from the rotor when it should be there. I know that there are times where line isn't supposed to be in the rotor because it isn't applicable to the screen you are on, like on the home screen. However, I am finding that it is absent in situations when it should be there. For example, in the native IOS notes app, line is usually not in the rotor. However, in mail, it usually is there. When it is missing, sometimes turning VO off and back on will bring it back but most of the time it doesn't. I don't know if this is a new bug or not because, until now, I have seldom had reason to move by line. It isn't an issue with my phone because it does it on my iPad also. So far, the only work around that I have found is, if I am in an edit field, like in the notes app, I double tap to edit the text and then use the up and down arrows on my BT keyboard to move by line. That isn't always convenient though because I don't always have the keyboard with me. Any other suggestions?

flicking left and right through text
Hello, Usually, when you are flicking left and right through text, each flick moves you by paragraph or until the next carriage return character. Sometimes though, VO will decide to stop on one word where there isn't a link or anything. It just reads the one word and stops and you have to flick again to keep going. Why is that? It isn't a big deal. I just don't understand why it does it and, after three years using IOS, I'm finely getting around to asking.

Those of us who can't see their hand in front of their face might have a problem giving a description. Before I turn Keychain on, can anybody describe what I'm letting myself in for?

There are cases out there which let you put an iPad in a holder on the top. It then looks like a laptop with the iPad laying sideways. Mine has the home button to the right. Then there is a QWERTY style keyboard on the lower half and the two halves close like a laptop. The connection of the keyboard to the iPad is made through Bluetooth paring. Mine connects and disconnects so that the rechargeable keyboard lasts about 2 weeks worth of typing but I get a lot of email. It only takes 3 hours to recharge from a totally dead battery to a fully charged one. The charging cable comes with the keyboard case. There are cases for all iPads being sold today. I like the iPad Air with WI-FI and cellular and my Air has 128 GGB of storage. If you rarely travel then you can just get the WI-FI only model assuming of course you own a wireless router at home. It isn't to hard to find free WI-FI and it's as close as that mall we've talked about. I keep my music collection on my iPad and the Bard reading app. NLS Talking Books sound much better when heard on an iPad Air then on an iPhone 5s.

RE: Item Chooser Not Working
Hi Alan, As David said, try a reboot first, i.e. power it down, wait 30 seconds and turn it on again. Often this clears up small issues and it's a less drastic approach than using power and home key for a complete reset.

There are any number of powered speakers out there. Speaker sizes from about 4 inches by 2 with a belt/collar clip on up. The smallest powered speakers generally are mono. One of these small speakers can be clipped to a shirt collar a few inches from your ear. My daughter gave me one such small speaker for Christmas that was even in the shape of a Christmas ornament. If I put my iPhone upside down in my shirt pocket, I can plug the small speaker in. I have the 5s iPhone which has the ear phone jack on the bottom. The volume of the iPhone alone isn't quite loud enough to listen to an audio book walking down the street with cars and trucks making all sorts of racket. Radio Shack and other such stores offer small speakers suitable for audio listening. When your trying to listen to a GPS app and it's giving walking directions this comes in really handy.

It seems as if the iPhone doesn't amplify the speaker well enough. I had once thought about purchasing a external speaker for this same reason. However, I like how some applications implement menu controls while using the remote on a headset. When using navigation application, I only use one earbud. I remove it when crossing streets though. Curious on what people suggest.

With apps like Seeing Eye GPS or the excellent BlindSquare, I find the GPS experience pretty good on my iPhone except for the fact that I don’t have a perfect setup for hearing the directions. I currently walk with one ear bud in my ear, but obviously this isn’t ideal. To be honest, I’ve tried bone conduction headphones and while I’m sure they work great for some, they just aren’t my cup of tea. Are there any ultra-portable speakers that people have found effective for this situation? Thanks, Grant -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?
No calls right now, dealing with business oriented stuff, for the foreseeable future, and reluctant to trust since over the past weeks all help seems to create more problems than solutions, need to figure out what I will be responsible for paying, figure finances, where I am going if I am going etc. Minor things I could do with the iPhone and can't seem to accomplish today will eventually work out, have the books and do better reading than talking about most of it. Sorry if I seem ungrateful, but I just don't think at this particular time I would retain it unless it is under my fingers, just too many other things requiring attention, and still very intensely coping with loss. Only 3 weeks today, hope you understand. Maybe at a later time I will be willing to share phone numbers, but please forgive me not today.

There are cases out there which let you put an iPad in a holder on the top. It then looks like a laptop with the iPad laying sideways. Mine has the home button to the right.

Mine connects and disconnects so that the rechargeable keyboard lasts about 2 weeks worth of typing but I get a lot of email. It only takes 3 hours to recharge from a totally dead battery to a fully charged one. The charging cable comes with the keyboard case. There are cases for all iPads being sold today.

Re: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?
I'm glad you wrote this. The youngsters haven't got half a lifetimes accumulation of written work to manage. this is ever my issue with giving up a PC of any type when this argument arises. Great here and now consumer infotainment iGismo; but the more seniors brought an awful lot of material with us, often in plain text, which is no bigger than the sum of the characters and spaces to produce it. But it is our stuff, and we don't wanna part with it, or give it somebody else to look after, for an esculating fee no doubt, and so on. We've dragged it this far from a few floppies to boxes of floppies. We got it this far, so not giving up now. Great if that pen drive idea works, and we got routers that have the usb slot and support the concept. That's a lot of IFs for us all to benefit from it.

I find the iPad very difficult to use as the screen layouts are so different and the large screen makes it harder to feel around for the items I want. I have used the iDevices with a BT keyboard for a few weeks at a time when away on vacation but was extremely glad to get back to my windows laptop. I use Excel a lot and have not mastered the Numbers app for this as yet. Also, doing the hundreds of emails I get daily is much quicker on the laptop. Surfing the Internet is so much quicker with IE or Firefox. . But the main thing I use the laptop for is copying and storing articles, recipes, information and such. When an email or webpage has information I might find useful in the future I copy the relevant info and quickly save it in my Dropbox folder. I have huge files of health articles, recipes, iDevice information, computer and Jaws info, and tons of other stuff. I have not figured out how to quickly (or slowly for that matter) copy items from the web or email on my IOS device and save them in my files for future reference. Another thing the Windows laptop can do is handle certain functions on Facebook that I can't do with the regular Facebook app.I also agree with the person who mentioned the ability to use USB memory sticks for the NLS readers and other backup purposes. I use my iPhone to listen to books during the day but find my NLS player easier for night listening.

Re: Requesting Curtis Chong Interview regarding his Braille Monitor Article
Hi Julie, In summary, based on the interview I heard, the person Curtis who wrote the article stated he had in mind his elderly population of clients when writing the article. In other words, he pretty much used a small population of people he had met in his life, older people, people new to the iPhone, people whose computer competency he had not measured in any way in an unbiased manner. He then wrote the article in a generalized way, which meant a great deal of people took it personal and acted accordingly. In short, for a guy who should know better, he goofed big time--guy needs to brush up on his basic research methods.

Re: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?
I use VoiceOver. My vision is limited to slightly better than light perception. What I do is slowly explore the screen, the same way a sighted person would do with vision. VO reads the text in the line under one's finger and places the read cursor either at the beginning or the end of the line, depending on the direction the finger is moving. I then use the rotor to select words for moving quickly through the line, and characters for specific editing (when not using my braille display). Even when using my braille display, however, I still use the touchscreen for reading and exploring. The touchscreen gives us the same two-dimensional experience that the sighted get, but to take full advantage of this, blind people must retrain our conceptions of how to function with the system. It is absolutely fascinating watching blind children, who only have positive training on iPads, navigate and work with the touchscreen. They do things that most of you regularly say are impossible, because they do not know any better. I wish more TVI's would train their kids the way a few excellent ones do. As for the app I use for my case notes: after experimenting with a few notes apps, I decided Apple Notes works well enough for my needs, and has the best guarantee of always working with the latest iOS (I always upgrade shortly after release), and will most probably always be VO accessible. after all, if Apple ceases its focus on universal accessibility in general and blindness accessibility in particular (considering Tim Cooks comments in April when challenged on this specific matter, considerably less likely than Jaws becoming a completely free program tomorrow), the entire system will become inaccessible anyway. Our medical office software is completely inaccessible, so we set up work-arounds for me. I email the complete notes file to our admin after each update. Admin copies my latest entry from the beginning of the file and pastes it into the patient's permanent record. This way, I maintain my complete client file in case I need to look up information, and only the most recent entry is added to the permanent record each time. When others update patient records in the system, and it is information relevant to my work, that person emails a copy of their entry to me and I paste it at the relevant place in my notes file. I separate each entry with a blank line, and type the date at the top of each entry.

RE: Phoning From A Text Message
Alan, What is it you can't do from your ATT 5S? If you refer to calling from an open text message then that is possible as it has nothing to do with your carrier or phone model. At the top right of the screen when you are in a conversation is a button, I believe it is called Contact. If you double tap it 3 little buttons appear underneath, one of them is More Info and it opens that contact, one is Call and I can't recall what the other one is because I am running the iOS 8 Beta now and here the button at the top right is called Details and it brings up a menu of options which are different due to the added features in iOS 8. The 3 buttons are a bit hard to find, after you double tap on Contact at the top right I think it turns into a Done button and if you move your finger down just a bit you will find the More Info button, then you can swipe left to the other 2 buttons.

I started working with computers in 1983. Every time media upgrades, I transfer all relevant files from the old media that is becoming obsolete, to the new media. At this point, all my old stuff is taking up part of a one terabyte external HD. Much easier to haul around with me, and I know the data will not degrade as the older magnetic surfaces do. My music, which is on CD is also on a 250 GB external HD, and will shortly be transferred to a 256 GB USB stick with lightning port when I receive it in a few months.

Re: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?
David, actually, your current hard drive has the same type of magnetic surface as your previous floppies and is also susceptible to data rot, so you might want to reconsider how you're storing such old data. A hard disk drive platter (or disk) is the circular disk on which magnetic data is stored in a hard disk drive. The rigid nature of the platters in a hard drive is what gives them their name (as opposed to the flexible materials which are used to make floppy disk). Hard drives typically have several platters which are mounted on the same spindle. A platter can store information on both sides, requiring two heads per platter. - Original Message - From: David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, June 20, 2014 2:47 PM Subject: Re: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?

I am glad he uses it since I don't bother with it at all anymore as I can do anything on my phone that I could do on the iPad. I find the iPad very difficult to use as the screen layouts are so different and the large screen makes it harder to feel around for the items I want. I have used the iDevices with a BT keyboard for a few weeks at a time when away on vacation but was extremely glad to get back to my windows laptop. I use Excel a lot and have not mastered the Numbers app for this as yet. Also, doing the hundreds of emails I get daily is much quicker on the laptop. Surfing the Internet is so much quicker with IE or Firefox. . But the main thing I use the laptop for is copying and storing articles, recipes, information and such. When an email or webpage has information I might find useful in the future I copy the relevant info and quickly save it in my Dropbox folder. I have huge files of health articles, recipes, iDevice information, computer and Jaws info, and tons of other stuff. I have not figured out how to quickly (or slowly for that matter) copy items from the web or email on my IOS device and save them in my files for future reference. Another thing the Windows laptop can do is handle certain functions on Facebook that I can't do with the regular Facebook app.I also agree with the person who mentioned the ability to use USB memory sticks for the NLS readers and other backup purposes. I use my iPhone to listen to books during the day but find my NLS player easier for night listening.

Re: Confusion over syncing outlook contacts
Hi Cher, in terms of your contacts/calendars/reminders, iCloud is simply the central repository for your data. The idea is to store your data in the cloud then sync it to any devices that you want, such as to an iPhone, an iPad, and perhaps Outlook on a PC. You can also collaborate with other people by having, say, a shared calendar that everyone in your family can add to or change whenever they want, and the results are pushed to everyone's devices. It's a way to sync your data from device to device without having to think about it or connect any wires. It has nothing to do with iCloud backup. That is a totally separate function of iCloud. I'm really sorry it's not working for you. Did you take a look at the support article I sent you and follow all the troubleshooting steps in it? When configured correctly, it's a beautiful thing.

Re: putting music on an iPhone 5
Do you have a computer with CD drive? Your best bet would probably be to rip the songs using iTunes then sync them to your phone. If you have a computer and could provide details about what operating system you are using and whether you are at all familiar with iTunes, then we could probably provide you with more detailed instructions. If you don't have a computer, then the simplest solution would probably be to have someone such as a family member help you do this.

RE: Experience with New DropVox Upgrade?
I must be missing something. I upgraded to the latest DropVox but I've tried doing three different sample recordings with it and I'll be darned if I can find the recordings in my DropVox subfolder within Dropbox. That's where the recordings made with my previous DropVox version went. Why would this have changed and can someone record something with the new version and let me know if the naming scheme is different and if it's putting the recordings somewhere else?

Hi Alan, I updated last night and the app still works very well with VoiceOver. With VO, you can triple-tap on the STOP button to pause a recording.

I just noticed that DropVox, the recording app tied to Dropbox, had an extensive update as of June 18th. I normally am slow to install these major updates due to concern about VoiceOver not working as well afterwards. This update says DropVox was completely rewritten for iOS 7 and that its default file format is now mp3 instead of the former m4a. Before I upgrade, I wondered what others who have already installed the upgrade have to say about how they like it and if VoiceOver accessibility still works well. Thanks in advance.

RE: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?
Billy, The flashdrive David referred to is made to work with iDevices and to plug directly into the Lightning port of an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

Yes, but Apple is under agreements with music labels that they will not do this with their music app. So, you need to use one of the many third-party music apps available on the App Store. I have a couple which are pretty good.

RE: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?
I imagine you would use some kind of file manager app that was made by the manufacturer of the flash drive. This could allow you to store and manage files including copying them to or from your device. The app could also allow you to play back media. I could be wrong, though.
