Re: iLounge: What’s New in iTunes 12
The most important thing I got from reading this article is that the sidebar will no longer be in iTunes 12. So, we had better learn to use iTunes 11 with the iTunes 11 interface, while we still can use the side bar crutch when we absolutely need it. I am told it is actually easier to use with the iTunes 11 interface, once one learns to do it. I have been meaning to learn this interface since 11 was released, it is time for me to stop being lazy about it. The second big thing I got from the article is that this is a first release. It probably will go through more changes before release in the fall. They said this probably will be the most polarizing version of iTunes yet. Always something new to learn.

Re: Looking for a good Bluetooth keyboard recommendation
Hi Beth, Just yesterday or day before I posted some pro and con information about the Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard. You might want to look up Bluetooth keyboard in the list archives as there is tons, and tons of suggestions there as this question comes up frequently. As a means of collecting lots of great list information, I have made it a habit to copy to my clipboard utility what might be useful information for future use. This of course means I make it a habit to read all list messages so I don't miss anything important. Whenever I need to reference any information, I simply run a search within my clipboard manager, or I head to the ViPhone list archives and run a search there. So far, this technique has yielded great and instant results without having to ask the list the same question, at times only a day after the same information was just posted. Please let me know if you have any question about this suggestion as many others could benefit too.

Re: Verry annoyed with TextGrabber!
Donna, So long as you feel sure and confident that you are holding the phone correctly I can only make the following few suggestions that might redress the problem. Firstly, activate the flash in TextGrabber so that it comes on once you open the app. Secondly, empty out your app switcher. Thirdly, practice with a sheet of printed text that you know to be clear, well printed, and up the right way. Lastly, delete the app and reinstall it. Perhaps one or all of these measures might improve things for you? If not, come back and we'll think again.

Re: Verry annoyed with TextGrabber!
Hi, I am just trying to ascertain what the difficulty is: for example, have you ever had success with TextGrabber in the past or with any other OCR app? Because there maybe two angles from which we should approach this problem, to wit, how are you at holding the phone, distance, angle etc. Or whether it is a software problem which might be alleviated by some of the suggestions I made in my post just now to Donna. In other words, is this user error or not? For a long time many people had problems with these apps until they discovered the efficacy of using a stand. Some do very well Freehand, but even those who do get the best results when using a stand. Some had no success at all until they used a stand. If there is someone with good site who can test the app out for you, this might be useful because we need to know if it is the app or you that is having the difficulty. Please forgive me if it seems that I am assuming you are inexperienced with OCR apps and the phone. You may be an expert, in which case the problem will be a software one and we can look at it more closely.

Teaching Siri to pronounce names
Hi all, Came across the following instructions to teach Siri to pronounce foreign and uncommon names more naturally. I could not get this to work. Hoping someone will post better instructions. Smile. For now, its definitely possible as this YouTube video demonstrates: ? Teach Siri to Pronounce Contact Names Correctly in iOS 7 - iPhone [How-To] - YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPcYB3bysFQ Here are the written instructions: Teaching Siri How to Say Complicated Names If you want to teach her how to properly pronounce a name, just open up Siri and tell her, That's not how you pronounce [name goes here]. From there, she'll give you several options as to who's name you want her to learn, if she doesn't already recognize it. As an example, I used Marielle Escobar from my contacts. Siri pronounces the first name as Marielle, when it should be pronounced Mary-Lee, so I opened up Siri and said That's not how you pronounce Marielle. Siri then asks me, OK, how do you pronounce the name (Marielle)? I then pronounce the name the correct way (Mary-Lee) and Siri gives me three options to choose from, all slight variations of Mary-Lee, if not exact replicas. If none of those sound correct, you can tell Siri again. If an option works, press Select. Once you select it, Siri will ask you about the last name. You can pronounce it as well, even if it's already correct. It will then do the same thing again, giving you three options to choose from. Once you're done, Siri will say, Great, I'll pronounce it First Name, Last Name and you'll be ready to go. No more Siri massacring our exotic names. http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/make-siri-pronounce-contact-names-correctly-ios-7-0148665/ Joseph the free tech guy! -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution
Ok all, couldn't resist, so I experimented a bit more, and here is how I used Siri to change how it pronounces odd names: 1. Ask Siri to Contact x (where X is the person with the oddly spoken name). 2. Regardless of Siri's answer, press the Home button to essentially cancel the request. 3. Now, press the Home button once again and say the following to Siri: That is not how you pronounce X. Note: remember, X is the person's unusual name. 4. Siri will ask you: Ok, how do you pronounce the name X? Siri will wait for an answer, so go ahead and say out loud the person's name. 5. After saying the person's name, the next prompt you will get is Siri asking: Ok, thank you, which pronunciation should I use? 6. At this point use a 4-finger single tap to go to the top of the screen and swipe to the right to read the screen. When you reach Play option 1 you will double-tap to hear the new Siri pronunciation. You will probably get three choices, so listen to them in the same way just described. when you are ready to make a choice simply double-tap on the Select button associated with the desired option. 7. You will be asked to choose a pronunciation for any remaining parts of the person's name such as left middle and last name. 8. When the process has completed, you will hear one of two messages: Thanks for correcting me on that, I'll pronounce it as X from now on. or Great, I'll pronounce it X from now on. If you are not presented with these Siri replies, it is likely the changes did not go through so try again. 9. If all went well, press the Home button to close any remaining Siri screen. 10. Now test your pronunciation changes by asking Siri Contact x. You should hear Siri speak the new name. If you can get this feature to work, it is very, very cool!

RE: Ariadne GPS question
They are telling you when you change from compass mode to GPS mode. In other words, When you are standing still, the app is using the internal compass, so it matters which way your phone is facing. When you start moving, it will go to GPS mode, and tell you the direction you are going based on your recently traveled path. In this mode, it doesn't matter which way your phone is facing.

Re: Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution
slight variations of Mary-Lee, if not exact replicas. If none of those sound correct, you can tell Siri again. If an option works, press Select. Once you select it, Siri will ask you about the last name. You can pronounce it as well, even if it's already correct. It will then do the same thing again, giving you three options to choose from. Once you're done, Siri will say, Great, I'll pronounce it First Name, Last Name and you'll be ready to go.

Re: Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution
instructions: Teaching Siri How to Say Complicated Names If you want to teach her how to properly pronounce a name, just open up Siri and tell her, That's not how you pronounce [name goes here]. From there, she'll give you several options as to who's name you want her to learn, if she doesn't already recognize it. As an example, I used Marielle Escobar from my contacts. Siri pronounces the first name as Marielle, when it should be pronounced Mary-Lee, so I opened up Siri and said That's not how you pronounce Marielle. Siri then asks me, OK, how do you pronounce the name (Marielle)? I then pronounce the name the correct way (Mary-Lee) and Siri gives me three options to choose from, all slight variations of Mary-Lee, if not exact replicas. If none of those sound correct, you can tell Siri again. If an option works, press Select. Once you select it, Siri will ask you about the last name.

Re: Recommendations Options
Hi, Robin, Having lived in the Bay Area for awhile in the past, I know that a commute from Berkeley to Palo Alto will be a long one. What sorts of apps are you looking for? Are you going to be reading using Braille or speech? Do you want to use a phone in conjunction with your apps, or do you want to do your work uninterrupted by phone calls? Many public transportation vehicles have WiFi these days. Some of the battery consumption considerations have a lot to do with how much you use WiFi and Bluetooth. Bluetooth will be used with Braille displays and with phone calls. So there are a lot of factors which go into battery life. Any smart phone is going to be a battery hog. As for transportation apps, (sorry; I may not have been clear about your questions, so I hope this info is relevant), I use HopStop. See if the local public transportation agency has their own app for you to use, i.e. AC transit or Samtrans or any other relevant agency.

Re: problem in the notification list
The notification Center has three display modes, today, missed, and all. The only mode with headings is the Today mode, but I'm not sure if it shows the headings by app name. Are you using the same iOS version on both devices? If so, find out which mode your 4 is using and switch to that mode on the other device. Also, in the missed and all views, you can move by buttons instead of headings.

Re: Sending Audio Files to Another iPhone
Depending on the size of the audio file try this: 1. You stated you are using Dropbox, so simply launch Dropbox, find the file and double-tap on it to begin playing it. 2. Use the 2-finger double-tap command to stop the playing of the file. 3. At bottom left hand corner there is a Share button so double-tap. 4. There is a Mail and a Copy link option. You might be able to use the Copy link option so that the person can download the audio file to their iPhone.

Re: Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution
Thanks Joe for posting this going to try it today as I have noticed lately that I think Siri has been smoking something as the pronunciation and her understanding what I have been saying has been getting worst and worst. For example, I ask her to call Mike Cohen and several times she says calling Wali Collins. In no way do those two names sound even remotely close, and this has happened a few times. I said to her to call Mom, and she said what is your Mom's name? Strange as this has always worked so I said Barbara Fischler, and she said no contact information for Brian Fischler. Ok that was weird. I have also noticed when I use the dictation feature which I use all the time she has become unusable when trying to dictate a reminder, not sure why dictation can work so good in other areas but so awful in or when trying to record a reminder.. Hopefully in IOS 8 Siri will get smarter or at least stop smoking whatever has been making her dumber.

Now, press the Home button once again and say the following to Siri: That is not how you pronounce X. Note: remember, X is the person's unusual name. 4. Siri will ask you: Ok, how do you pronounce the name X? Siri will wait for an answer, so go ahead and say out loud the person's name. 5. After saying the person's name, the next prompt you will get is Siri asking: Ok, thank you, which pronunciation should I use? 6. At this point use a 4-finger single tap to go to the top of the screen and swipe to the right to read the screen. When you reach Play option 1 you will double-tap to hear the new Siri pronunciation. You will probably get three choices, so listen to them in the same way just described. when you are ready to make a choice simply double-tap on the Select button associated with the desired option. 7. You will be asked to choose a pronunciation for any remaining parts of the person's name such as left middle and last name. 8.

RE: dropvox weirdness
Hi, I'm not sure if this app takes up space on the phone. It supposedly sends the file directly to DropBox. Of course, what it does with the phones internal memory before that is something I don't know. However, I have another concern about using this for a long term recording, especially if you do not have wireless. When I have tried to use it with 3g, it is very much slower in the transfer. I would hate to see some of this very long file be lost in transmission. Of course, it is likely not to happen, but it could, I suppose. HandiRec recorder does, I think, record in MP3.

Re: Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution
When working with Siri, try slowing down or speeding up your voice. I find that if I try to mimic a slow talking drunk person Siri will just about always get my request correct. I've also found speaking words with very small gaps between each of the words works well--its as if Siri needs to process each word before moving on to the next. I know one should speak normally, but finding different ways of talking to Siri works best. You will sound a bit crazy at first, but in time you will learn your best speech pattern for yielding best results. I want to also add that this technique will not improve Siri's understanding of what it is you would like to do, it will only change the way Siri pronounces uncommon words such as people's names.

For example, I ask her to call Mike Cohen and several times she says calling Wali Collins. In no way do those two names sound even remotely close, and this has happened a few times. I said to her to call Mom, and she said what is your Mom's name? Strange as this has always worked so I said Barbara Fischler, and she said no contact information for Brian Fischler. Ok that was weird. I have also noticed when I use the dictation feature which I use all the time she has become unusable when trying to dictate a reminder, not sure why dictation can work so good in other areas but so awful in or when trying to record a reminder.. Hopefully in IOS 8 Siri will get smarter or at least stop smoking whatever has been making her dumber.

Ask Siri to Contact x (where X is the person with the oddly spoken name). 2. Regardless of Siri's answer, press the Home button to essentially cancel the request. 3. Now, press the Home button once again and say the following to Siri: That is not how you pronounce X. Note: remember, X is the person's unusual name. 4. Siri will ask you: Ok, how do you pronounce the name X? Siri will wait for an answer, so go ahead and say out loud the person's name. 5. After saying the person's name, the next prompt you will get is Siri asking: Ok, thank you, which pronunciation should I use? 6. At this point use a 4-finger single tap to go to the top of the screen and swipe to the right to read the screen. When you reach Play option 1 you will double-tap to hear the new Siri pronunciation. You will probably get three choices, so listen to them in the same way just described. when you are ready to make a choice simply double-tap on the Select button associated with the desired option. 7. You will be asked to choose a pronunciation for any remaining parts of the person's name such as left middle and last name. 8. When the process has completed, you will hear one of two messages: Thanks for correcting me on that, I'll pronounce it as X from now on. or Great, I'll pronounce it X from now on. If you are not presented with these Siri replies, it is likely the changes did not go through so try again. 9. If all went well, press the Home button to close any remaining Siri screen. 10. Now test your pronunciation changes by asking Siri Contact x. You should hear Siri speak the new name. If you can get this feature to work, it is very, very cool!

Re: Recommendations Options
I haven't really given any thought to the idea of incorporating the use of a Braille Display as I am more concerned with Transportation at this point. I'm in search of Public Transit iOS Apps, which would notify me of My BusStops as well as the location of various BusStops. I believe I would have to transfer from BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) to other Public Transit options as well as utilize the Public Transit Options within Palo Alto,Ca. This is why I am focusing on Public Transit. I presume transfering from WiFi to Your Mobile Carrier's Data can put a strain on your Mobile Device's Battery, and I am wondering whether or not the use of Mophie's JuicePack with the Apple iPhone 4S will be sufficient enough to handle this Load or should I UpGrade or Find suitable alternatives.

At 08:06 AM 7/26/2014, you wrote: Hi, Robin, Having lived in the Bay Area for awhile in the past, I know that a commute from Berkeley to Palo Alto will be a long one. What sorts of apps are you looking for? Are you going to be reading using Braille or speech? Do you want to use a phone in conjunction with your apps, or do you want to do your work uninterrupted by phone calls? Many public transportation vehicles have WiFi these days. Some of the battery consumption considerations have a lot to do with how much you use WiFi and Bluetooth. Bluetooth will be used with Braille displays and with phone calls. So there are a lot of factors which go into battery life. Any smart phone is going to be a battery hog. As for transportation apps, (sorry; I may not have been clear about your questions, so I hope this info is relevant), I use HopStop. See if the local public transportation agency has their own app for you to use, i.e. AC transit or Samtrans or any other relevant agency.

RE: Ben Bluetooth Speaker Ban
I did the same and found a ton of them including even some very nice Cassio watches. One advantage to the Bem Band seems to be the fact that it has spoken prompts for power on/off, and bluetooth pearing. It also has it's own talking caller id. Unfortunately, some of the descriptions on the available watches like this aren't always that helpful so we have no way of knowing about other features they may or may not mention.

I did as you suggested and found a free app called 24-7 Football, which mainly has news and schedules for NFL teams. The app is pretty accessible from what I can find, except for one unlabeled button in the bottom right corner. Once you start the app you are asked to pick your team. After you do this, when swiping to the right from the top of the screen, there are News and Schedule buttons, with whichever one you are looking at being selected. To switch to a different team, you double tap that unlabeled button in the bottom right, and are presented with a list of all teams, a done button, and so forth. Double tap the team or teams you want and then hit done. I have only selected 1 at a time so far, but I suppose you could select more than 1 if you wanted to keep up with multiple teams. I don't know how that information would be displayed though. Also, the app can alert you with push notifications before each of your team's games, either an hour or 15 minutes before. I've put all of my team's games in my calendar already, but that push notice is good to have as well. One more thing, the schedules look to be for last year at this point; hopefully they will update that by the start of the season.

Fantastical 2.1
Hey, Just noticed Fantastical was updated again and now half price. I have heard mixed on this app from the VoiceOver community, but am thinking about finally buying it, wanted to see what people here thought of it. I rarely use the calendar app on the iPhone as it is kind of a pain to use, are people finding it much smoother to use the fantastical calendar? I do use reminders a lot but I like being able to just hold in the button to quickly launch Siri to create a reminder. I assume using the reminder part of Fantastical will just take launching the app first, but is just as easy? Also I read that the mac version is not as accessible with VO. Does anyone know if that has changed? One of the things I love most about the native reminders app is having a reminder pop up on my iMac and iPhone, and can dismiss very easily. Just wanted to get the most recent opinions of the app. Thanks, -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: problem in the notification list
In the Today View, I have things like calendar events, reminders, current weather conditions, and more. It depends on how you have your settings.

To check, and to choose what you have displayed in your today view, just go to settings, then notification center. Hope this helps.

RE: Good Recording Apps
Hi, his original question was if there was an app that recorded in MP3. REV records in M4A. Of course, you can always convert these. I find the normal voice quality to be of lesser quality than DropVox, but you can always go to the high quality voice at about twice the size. You can either have it automatically sent to drop box when you save it, or you can do this manually when you are using wireless. By the way, they suggest using wireless to transfer. I think figuring out how to fix your DropVox would be very nice.

Re: Fantastical 2.1
Hi, What I love about Fantastical is you can write a sentence such as: Appointment on Monday at 2:00 PM. This will put in an event with those specifications. There are other sentences you can say, but that is just an expample. Yes, when you create an event, it is also on your native calendar, so you can see it on your compputer as well.

I did as you suggested and found a free app called 24-7 Football, which mainly has news and schedules for NFL teams. The app is pretty accessible from what I can find, except for one unlabeled button in the bottom right corner. Once you start the app you are asked to pick your team. After you do this, when swiping to the right from the top of the screen, there are News and Schedule buttons, with whichever one you are looking at being selected. To switch to a different team, you double tap that unlabeled button in the bottom right, and are presented with a list of all teams, a done button, and so forth. Double tap the team or teams you want and then hit done. I have only selected 1 at a time so far, but I suppose you could select more than 1 if you wanted to keep up with multiple teams. I don't know how that information would be displayed though. Also, the app can alert you with push notifications before each of your team's games, either an hour or 15 minutes before. I've put all of my team's games in my calendar already, but that push notice is good to have as well. One more thing, the schedules look to be for last year at this point; hopefully they will update that by the start of the season. This wasn't what I was looking for but it is a good way to stay updated on what's going on with your team or teams of choice.

Hey Jen, Thanks for the info, so I'm also assuming if you create a reminder in Fantastical than it also appears in the native reminders app on the iPhone, which in turn would then also pop up on your mac as long as you are synching reminders?

RE: problem in the notification list
I have a different problem? I can’t seem to find the place to check or uncheck what notifications should be turned on or off, it used to be there, but today it is missing, no joke, when I go down my screen there is notification center but that is not the area I am speaking about. Did it go away overnight? I reset my phone after I discovered this. No am an not interested to restoring my phone at this time.

It depends on how you have your settings. Since you do not have anything in your today view, I am wondering if your today view is turned off. To check, and to choose what you have displayed in your today view, just go to settings, then notification center. Hope this helps.

Re: problem in the notification list
If you are referring to where you turn notifications on and off for all of your apps, then that can be found in Settings in the Notification Center. Once you flick past your notification settings, you will come to a list of your apps. Just double tap on the app you want to adjust the notification settings for that app. Hope this helps, Chris Chaffin Sent from my iPhone On Jul 26, 2014, at 9:21 PM, Rose Combs roseco...@q.com wrote: I have a different problem?

Re: Fantastical 2.1
I absolutely love Fantastical on iOS. I think it is incredibly simple to use. I only have one wish. When I touch a particular day in month view, I wish it would also announce the day of the week instead of just the date. It's minor though. :) It would just save me a bit of time when i am not sure what day of the week I am on for sure. 1. You can still use Siri to create an event or reminder and it will show up in Fantastical. At least it works for me. I am using apple's iCloud for my Calendar and for reminders. Anything that goes on the iOS native Calendar or reminders app for me also goes on the iOS Fantastical app. 2. Fantastical on IOS syncs well with my Mac. On my Mac I am using the native Calendar app. I am using apple iCloud for my calendar on iOS, and my Mac. Fantastical, the native Mac Calendar, and the native iOS Calendar all reflect each other. The same goes for reminders. 3. I am not sure how multi-level reminders show up in Fantastical. I am only using the original reminders list. I have not created custom reminder lists. Sorry, I am probably not calling them the correct thing. 4. There is a Fantastical app for the Mac. I would not necessarily suggest it. There are some uses for it but if you use a calendar a lot you are probably better off sticking with apple's calendar app on the Mac. Fantastical for the Mac is not very VO friendly. I can use it a little bit but I only use it to create an event because, I find that process very simple. However, I don't use it for anything else. I haven't fiddled with the Fantastical app for Mac in around a year and maybe there have been improvements but I have not heard of any.
