Fingerprint.
Hello. Has anyone experienced the following with their 5 S Fingerprint? I for example have set up a number of fingerprints on my 5S and a week later, none of them are recognised. This has happened to me since I bought my I phone from the Apple store. Well as I've sold this phone now so that I can buy my next I phone from the Apple Store when it's out hope that the Fingerprint will work better. Thanks.

Very Weird Problem with iPhone 5C and Anchor Wireless Keyboard
I am experiencing a very, very odd and bizarre problem with a recently purchased anchor Apple-compatible keyboard. After successfully pairing the keyboard with my iPhone, everything works well except for the following issue. This keyboard has a layout identical to the typical wireless keyboards you see for Apple devices. However, when I press control-option-left command with up arrow, the parameter, such as sounds, volume, etc. does not change. When I went into keyboard help with Vo-K, this key combo is silent, as though it's not registering at all. Here's the odd thing: if I press ctrl-option-right hand command with up arrow, the key combo works but ctrl-option-right command down arrow does not work. Has anyone encountered this and is there a fix? -- Feel free to visit my new Web site http://www.DavidGoldfield.info Feel free to visit my LinkedIn profile http://www.linkedin.com/pub/david-goldfield/12/929/573 Visit my blog http://davidgoldfield.wordpress.com Follow me on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/davidgoldfield David Goldfield, Founder and Peer Coordinator Philadelphia Computer Users' Group for the Blind and Visually Impaired -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: Fingerprint.
Hi Kawal, When you say you set up a number of prints, do you mean you set up different fingers or did you scan the same finger on several of the available 5 spots? When I first got my 5S I read somewhere that the recognition is more successful if you scan, for example, your right thumb on 2 or 3 of the available 5 spots. I did this and just as with you it worked well for a bit and then it got worse. After the 7.1 update which was supposed to bring improved recognition it actually got worse for me. Then at one point I decided I would delete all my prints again and start over. I did this and set up my right thumb just on the first fingerprint spot. Ever since this my recognition rate is I would say very close to 100% and also much faster. I think having scanned my thumb 3 times on different spots just caused the processor to do unnecessary calculations and it apparently did more harm than good. I also found that the success rate is much better if you don't use the very tip of your finger but use the pad of your finger sort of half way between the fingertip and the first joint. I only use the fingertip when it asks you to scan the edges of your finger. Like I said, I couldn't be happier now, it's fast and works absolutely fantastically with the only exception being when I just done a bunch of woodworking and I might have little cuts on my finger, glue residue or stuff like that, but that's to be expected.

RE: Siri
Hi Sieghard. Actually the Siri voice doesn't have anything to do with Voiceover so your below steps won't work. Hope, have you tried plugging in your device?

Re: Siri
Hi Hope, If you're running iOS 7, go to Siri settings, General Siri. Plug in your device, either to the wall or your computer. Then, go down to the voice selection field -- I forget the exact name. change the gender from male to female, or veisa versa if you have the female voice selected. Once this is done, the setting change will trigger your device to download the necessary files for the high quality voice. On 7/12/14, BBS bbssh...@icloud.com wrote: Hi Sieghard.

Hi, David, I don't think the Anker keyboards support all the VO functions. I have one as well. The command-VO-arrow keys don't seem to work for me, either.

Maybe this frustration is only associated with the Amazon Basics keyboard, but I really don't think so. Hopefully the reader will have a different experience, but if you are facing difficulties, this buggy behavior might be the reason. Just trying to save some of you some hassles, but undoubtedly I'm going to get that's not happening to me!, so all I can say is good for you. Oh yeah, I'm using an iPod Touch 5th with latest update.

Re: Fingerprint.
I have had the same experience with Sieghard. I had to redo all my prints and just stuck with one print for the two fingers I usually use. When I set up the prints, I made sure I set my finger down from several angles during the creation process. Also, remember that when you place your finger on the home button, it must be firmly set. Also, be sure it's not damp or too cold either. These factors seem to effect recognition, so, for example, if you have just washed and dried your hands and your finger might still be cold.

When I first got my 5S I read somewhere that the recognition is more successful if you scan, for example, your right thumb on 2 or 3 of the available 5 spots. I did this and just as with you it worked well for a bit and then it got worse. After the 7.1 update which was supposed to bring improved recognition it actually got worse for me. Then at one point I decided I would delete all my prints again and start over. I did this and set up my right thumb just on the first fingerprint spot. Ever since this my recognition rate is I would say very close to 100% and also much faster. I think having scanned my thumb 3 times on different spots just caused the processor to do unnecessary calculations and it apparently did more harm than good. I also found that the success rate is much better if you don't use the very tip of your finger but use the pad of your finger sort of half way between the fingertip and the first joint. I only use the fingertip when it asks you to scan the edges of your finger. Like I said, I couldn't be happier now, it's fast and works absolutely fantastically with the only exception being when I just done a bunch of woodworking and I might have little cuts on my finger, glue residue or stuff like that, but that's to be expected.

Yes. This happened to me today while typing a text message with my Braille display.

RE: Square card reader
Hello Fellow square users or attempted users. At the NFB convention I spoke with someone who is using Square with a splitter. It appears that what you need is a 4 pin splitter which in effect separates’ the microphone and headphone circuits in the iPhone headphone jack such that you can use a headphone and a separate microphone rather than one with the single jack. Well, I got one of these from Radio Shack for about $5.00 and it appears to get me a bit further down the road to working. I get audio through the headset jack and plug my card reader into the other jack. The software gets to the enter credit card number or swipe screen but no matter what I do the card won’t register when I swipe it. I do occasionally get a card not charged message and if I unplug the reader the message reader disconnected comes up indicating that it knew the reader was there. Can anyone tell me what the secret is to swiping a card? Is there something I’m not getting? I should also say that I tried swiping the card with just the reader plugged directly into the iPhone and then removing it to get audio back to see if maybe the reader really isn’t connected correctly through the splitter but it still doesn’t work. I should also say that I know this reader can work as the guy that cuts my lawn has borrowed it on occasion to use on his own iPhone. Any suggestions?

The splitter also did not work with regular headphones even though the splitter would work if only the reader was plugged in. Maybe, it is some sort of security feature that is built in. The only way to use the reader is to plug it in to swipe the card, then take it out again to sign and finish the transaction. The Bluetooth comes back when you take the reader out, likewise the wired headphones. If you have silence when you unplug the reader, you will know that the swipe was successful and you are at the signature screen. After signing, you wait until you hear it was successful. Before that, there is no speech. I will get used to it eventually. So, it does work, just has a few quirks.

Re: Determining When A Third-party Keyboard Battery is Low?
Ok, at the risk of sounding like a wise guy and it is not my intent, when the keyboard no longer lets you type anything. The bluetooth rechargible keyboard I use can go for about 2 weeks before it needs to be charged back up. It only takes 3 hours from totally dead to fully charged so it's not like it's the end of the world. If I remember and I usually don't, I try to recharge it once a week.

On Friday, April 18, 2014 6:31:48 AM UTC-4, Lois B wrote: I did some expensive experimenting yesterday to see how the square reader worked with blue tooth, etc. Bluetooth headphones do not work with the card reader plugged in, even if you turn it off and back on after plugging in the reader. The splitter also did not work with regular headphones even though the splitter would work if only the reader was plugged in. Maybe, it is some sort of security feature that is built in. The only way to use the reader is to plug it in to swipe the card, then take it out again to sign and finish the transaction. The Bluetooth comes back when you take the reader out, likewise the wired headphones. If you have silence when you unplug the reader, you will know that the swipe was successful and you are at the signature screen. After signing, you wait until you hear it was successful. Before that, there is no speech. I will get used to it eventually. So, it does work, just has a few quirks.

Re: Very Weird Problem with iPhone 5C and Anchor Wireless Keyboard
Teresa, thank you for your response. The name of the keyboard, which I should have specified in my initial message, is the Anker T300. Every other key combo works well. As a matter of principle, I'd likely return it but the original packaging isn't in the most usable state. The VO-command combo with arrow keys work; the keyboard just seems picky about whether the left command or right command key is used. Other than this one quirk, I haven't noticed other combinations which don't work. I can live with it but I find it annoying and I've never encountered such a thing on non-Microsoft keyboards for Windows computers. Again, thanks for at least confirming that this isn't just me.

Re: Fingerprint.
If those of you who use to use an optican, that is how I placed my thumb and index finger alternatively to get the finger print to recognise. I will try it again though and see what happens. Thank you. Kawal. On 12 Jul 2014, at 07:33 am, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Kawal, When you say you set up a number of prints, do you mean you set up different fingers or did you scan the same finger on several of the available 5 spots? When I first got my 5S I read somewhere that the recognition is more successful if you scan, for example, your right thumb on 2 or 3 of the available 5 spots. I did this and just as with you it worked well for a bit and then it got worse. After the 7.1 update which was supposed to bring improved recognition it actually got worse for me. Then at one point I decided I would delete all my prints again and start over. I did this and set up my right thumb just on the first fingerprint spot. Ever since this my recognition rate is I would say very close to 100% and also much faster. I think having scanned my thumb 3 times on different spots just caused the processor to do unnecessary calculations and it apparently did more harm than good. I also found that the success rate is much better if you don't use the very tip of your finger but use the pad of your finger sort of half way between the fingertip and the first joint. I only use the fingertip when it asks you to scan the edges of your finger. Like I said, I couldn't be happier now, it's fast and works absolutely fantastically with the only exception being when I just done a bunch of woodworking and I might have little cuts on my finger, glue residue or stuff like that, but that's to be expected.

Make sure you are on the Files tab (double-tap bottom left-hand corner of screen). 2.

Swipe to and double-tap on the following item: Toolbar overflow. Double-tap on Select items. 4. On this new screen you will be shown a list of your files. Double-tap on a file to select it. Keep in mind that when you double-tap on the name of the file, it will be selected, but VoiceOver will not convey this to you. If you go to the very top line of the screen you will be notified of the number of files selected. Note: to deselect a file, simply swipe to it and double-tap again. 5. After files have been selected, swipe to the Share button and double-tap. You will be presented with options such as Send link in email, or Copy link to clipboard. 6.

Some keyboards do show the battery level in the bluetooth menu in extras if you hold the option key down when accessing the menu but some don't. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Re: Screen curtain!
If you want your brightness to stay at zero, you'll have to make sure to turn off the auto brightness setting in settings/brightness and wallpaper. Then you can turn your brightness down to zero and it will stay there. I do things this way because I rarely give my phone to sighted people. If I do need to show someone something, I just turn up the brightness using the control center, then turn off VoiceOver. When they give the phone back to me, I just turn VO back on, turn down the brightness, and continue with what I was doing earlier.

The screen curtain actually does nothing to brightness, it simply artificially blacks out the screen. There have been claims that using the screen curtain saves battery, but this is not correct. I at one point asked Apple Accessibility and received a reply stating that use of the screen curtain does not improve battery life. If you don't have sighted people using your phone you can turn brightness down to 0% which actually will save you battery. Keep in mind that this simply means the backlight is turned to 0% and it is still possible to see and read what is on the screen although it is much more difficult especially in bright light.

RE: Fingerprint.
Sieghard, The cuts and residue on fingers is the reason why I scanned 3 fingers in one hand and the thumb and index in my left hand. That way, no matter what, there is always a finger that works. I mostly use my right index or right thumb but, if needed, I have 3 other fingers. I never lend my phone to anyone so I didn't need any spare print possibilities.

Hi Kawal, When you say you set up a number of prints, do you mean you set up different fingers or did you scan the same finger on several of the available 5 spots? When I first got my 5S I read somewhere that the recognition is more successful if you scan, for example, your right thumb on 2 or 3 of the available 5 spots. I did this and just as with you it worked well for a bit and then it got worse. After the 7.1 update which was supposed to bring improved recognition it actually got worse for me. Then at one point I decided I would delete all my prints again and start over. I did this and set up my right thumb just on the first fingerprint spot. Ever since this my recognition rate is I would say very close to 100% and also much faster. I think having scanned my thumb 3 times on different spots just caused the processor to do unnecessary calculations and it apparently did more harm than good. I also found that the success rate is much better if you don't use the very tip of your finger but use the pad of your finger sort of half way between the fingertip and the first joint. I only use the fingertip when it asks you to scan the edges of your finger. Like I said, I couldn't be happier now, it's fast and works absolutely fantastically with the only exception being when I just done a bunch of woodworking and I might have little cuts on my finger, glue residue or stuff like that, but that's to be expected.

Re: KNFB Reader App
This is an incorrect statement. KNFB Reading Technologies developed and sold the KNFB Reader for Nokia Phones running on the Symbian platform. As I recall, they came out with one or two updates per year, so that is what I will initially expect from them with their second app. Also, KNFB Reader for Nokia did not invent anything. The OCR software they used for the Symbian platform came from a company in England. The page edge detection for Symbian platform came from a company in Europe. This was easy to figure out by going through the list of copyrights and trademarks which was included with the KNFB Reader. I have already tracked down probable OCR technology and page detection technology apps for iPhone that I suspect KNFB Reader is utilising for their $99 app. I was a little surprised to read that NFB sponsored $11.5 million for the iPhone app. For the Nokia app, KNFB Reader utilised over a million dollars of federal research grant moneys. Yes, these are some of the reasons why I am very cynical of the extremely high pricing of the app. I have no doubt it will work as advertised. One final comment: taking a picture of a PowerPoint presentation from 22 feet away and having KNFB Reader recognise it was purely a publicity stunt. I can do the same with any other OCR app and it will work just as well, so long as the image of the print is in focus.

Text Grabber Not Capturing The OCR With The StandScan Pro
Hello All, I finally sat down to organize my paperwork using Text Grabber and the StandScan Pro. I did swap out my case on the phone to see if this was contributing to the lack of capturing the text in OCR. I changed out the phone case and received the same problem of the famous error message of make sure ... I am running the current version of Text Glabber and I was wondering if others were having the same issue. I know there is text on the item I am attempting to scan, so that's not the problem. If any one has some other tips for me to try, send them my way. In the mean time, I'll keep playing around in positioning the camera in the aperture on top to see where the sweet spot is.

Help, I think I broke my copy of Prizmo.
Hi list. Today I was experimenting with scanning free hand with Prizmo. My first attempt wasn't very successful, so I changed some settings in the hopes of better results. I have no idea what I did, but now the app won't work properly when I use quick capture to try to take a picture of the text. When I double tap the button, it now says take picture heading, and sits there for a minute or two, even when I hit cancel, the app still vibrates like it is detecting a page. It does eventually sometimes take a picture, but not the speedy way it did before. The settings I changed are, detect text orientation from off to on,camera flash from auto to on, I set the recognition language to English, and I changed the paper size to U.S. Letter. I have tried deleting the app and downloading it again, but it looks like it remembered my previous settings. Is there perhaps a way to set it back to default? I didn't see any option like that. Any suggestions about how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Julia -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Text Grabber Not Capturing The OCR With The StandScan Pro
Hello David, Of course, the lights are on in the StandScan Pro and the camera is (what I think) is properly positioned in the aperture whole on the top of the StandScan Pro. For one who has gotten almost a perfect scan on the first attempt of each scan, this is a new behavior for me. That's why I posted. In the past, the only time I received the error was if the page was blank or if there was some funny font the app didn't like. There must be something different about the current version.

RE: Determining When A Third-party Keyboard Battery is Low?
Hi Teresa, The Apple Wireless keyboard is quite nice, but I think the Logitech K811 is nicer. It's just as small, feels just as well-made but it has 2 big advantages: 1. It has a physical on/off slider on the right side instead of that silly button on the Apple Wireless keyboard which inevitably gets pushed if you have the keyboard in a bag or backpack. 2. It is capable of being paired with up to 3 devices so if you have, for example, an iPhone, an iPad and an Apple TV you can pair all 3 devices with the keyboard and simply pressing F1, F2 and F3 will allow you to select which device you want to control. Whichever device you pair first will be F1, the second device you pair can be selected with F2 and F3 obviously then is for the last device you pair. Another nice feature is that it's rechargeable via a standard USB Micro cable so no batteries to replace.

The bluetooth rechargible keyboard I use can go for about 2 weeks before it needs to be charged back up. It only takes 3 hours from totally dead to fully charged so it's not like it's the end of the world. If I remember and I usually don't, I try to recharge it once a week.
