URGENT Cannot activate agree button to update Pages on iPad with iOS8
This is a huge problem! I have 29 updates in the app store but nothing is going to update because I can't press the agree button and get it to activate.

I can of course go to my home screen but I can neither agree to this agreement or cancel. when I reopen the app store and start over again to try to update all, the same thing happens.

These usually work and I don't need to do a full restart. On Sep 19, 2014, at 5:11 PM, Ioana Gandrabur igandra...@gmail.com wrote: Hi I could not reproduce voicemail. I usevisual voicemail.

I did a network reset and a system restore, but this did not solve the problem. The only work around is to turn voiceover off, touch the corner where the voicemail icon is, then turn voiceover back on. I also noticed a strange behavior using the dial pad. Sometimes if I dial a passcode or a number while I interact with a voice message requiring me to push a number to be transferred somewhere else, I get a constant loud beep that does not go away without turning the phone off. I do not know if anyone else noticed such problems or not. It goes without saying that voiceover on iOS8 is the buggiest ever since the first release of voiceover several years back. I can't believe that apple chose to overlook all these bugs in spite of the warnings and notifications of the beta testers. It sounds that the genius of apple success embodied in seeking perfection or near perfection is now a relic of the past. The bugs are so many and blind users have to search for a work around for several important features. This basically makes me put on hold upgrading to iPhone six or six plus because I will be stuck with a buggy expensive phone should apple choose to ignore these problems as it did when it ignored the recommendations of the beta testers. This is perhaps a time to remember Steve Job who sought perfection before any product was released to all sectors of consumers. May god's mercy be upon him.

Re: IOS 8 Released
Well, with a $100 androy phone you will find that it is more than likely is not Talkback comparable, because of whatever overlay that they have on top of Google Stock Androy, and more than likely will stop at Androy 4.22, which is a crap Androy OS when come to accessibility. Yes, you can get it work, but is that really worth it, that is another issue. Of course, one could argue that it only cost $100, as compare to $1000 for an upgrade. If you have that mind set, go ahead, nothing stopping you on switching over to Androy. Just bare in mind, whatever phone you choose to get for Androy platform, make sure you get Androy 4.3 and above. The best entry and low end level phone for Google Stock Androy is Moto G or Moto E, which is between $200 and $350 (depending on specific model. In another word, Androy is good to see, good to touch, is great as a secondary phone even. But, not all Androy phones are accessible for the blind. That is the bottom line of the Androy OS.

Yes, you can get it work, but is that really worth it, that is another issue. Of course, one could argue that it only cost $100, as compare to $1000 for an upgrade. If you have that mind set, go ahead, nothing stopping you on switching over to Androy. Just bare in mind, whatever phone you choose to get for Androy platform, make sure you get Androy 4.3 and above. The best entry and low end level phone for Google Stock Androy is Moto G or Moto E, which is between $200 and $350 (depending on specific model. In another word, Androy is good to see, good to touch, is great as a secondary phone even. But, not all Androy phones are accessible for the blind. That is the bottom line of the Androy OS.

RE: IOS 8 Released
Hi Ari, iOS 8 has quite a few bugs, iOS 7 had some when it launched and quite a lot of them got fixed and I am pretty sure Apple will fix bugs in iOS 8 as well.

Yes, you can get it work, but is that really worth it, that is another issue. Of course, one could argue that it only cost $100, as compare to $1000 for an upgrade. If you have that mind set, go ahead, nothing stopping you on switching over to Androy. Just bare in mind, whatever phone you choose to get for Androy platform, make sure you get Androy 4.3 and above. The best entry and low end level phone for Google Stock Androy is Moto G or Moto E, which is between $200 and $350 (depending on specific model. In another word, Androy is good to see, good to touch, is great as a secondary phone even. But, not all Androy phones are accessible for the blind. That is the bottom line of the Androy OS.

And again, all these support or not supported, for which phones and which ios, it is not something new. It is the same old same old arguement from pretty much the first gen of iphone to now. People constently have problems reported from an old phone upgraded to the new ios. It is expected. Apple does say that ios8 can be install on 4s. But if there is no slaggishness, then, people won't keep upgrading their phone as the new ios come out, will they. Apple do that for a reason, they don't just release a new ios out from no where, just because they can. If you want to upgrade, that is your choice. But be prepare for te slaggishness.

Questions about KNFB Reader...
Hi Everyone: I am still having a little trouble with KNFB Reader. Last night, I went to my parents house and tried using the KNFB Reader there. I did get it to successfully scan a flat letter, but I have a bunch of paperback books I really want to read that I was hoping I could sort of use the KNFB reader to read. I went through the archives on this list and I read how a few people successfully got results with paperback books but I'm still having a lot of trouble with paperback books. I also have not gotten the tilted guidance to stop vibrating at all. By reading the archives, people are saying it is best to hold the phone in landscape mode...what does that mean? Also, people said it is best to hold the phone 10- inches or so above the page...how high is that? I guess I'm just feeling frustrated because I still don't think I am doing it right. Every once in a while I get good results but usually I end up holding the phone close to the page and yet to get the best results you are supposed to hold it 10 inches above the page but I have no idea how high 10 inches is and I still have not gotten the guidance to completely stop vibrating. Have you been able to get good/accurate results on a standard, gently used paperback book? For someone like me who is having trouble, would purchasing a standscan be best? Has the standscan made it easier to get accurate results? Would a standscan help with my wanting to scan and read a paperback book?

Re: iBook store and ios 8
They've changed that a little. To get out of your library and into the bookstore, use one of the bottom tabs like features, search or top charts. When you want to obtain a book, go right into its entry and use the button with the price or free that you find in the description rather than on the store front. I found that to be true in the appstore also. You have to use the link with the title of the app first to get into the description page and then look for the button labelled with the item's price which lets you purchase. Hope that helps you.

Hi Everyone: I am still having a little trouble with KNFB Reader. Last night, I went to my parents house and tried using the KNFB Reader there. I did get it to successfully scan a flat letter, but I have a bunch of paperback books I really want to read that I was hoping I could sort of use the KNFB reader to read. I went through the archives on this list and I read how a few people successfully got results with paperback books but I'm still having a lot of trouble with paperback books. I also have not gotten the tilted guidance to stop vibrating at all. By reading the archives, people are saying it is best to hold the phone in landscape mode...what does that mean? Also, people said it is best to hold the phone 10- inches or so above the page...how high is that? I guess I'm just feeling frustrated because I still don't think I am doing it right. Every once in a while I get good results but usually I end up holding the phone close to the page and yet to get the best results you are supposed to hold it 10 inches above the page but I have no idea how high 10 inches is and I still have not gotten the guidance to completely stop vibrating. Have you been able to get good/accurate results on a standard, gently used paperback book? For someone like me who is having trouble, would purchasing a standscan be best? Has the standscan made it easier to get accurate results? Would a standscan help with my wanting to scan and read a paperback book?

Some suppliers will replace the battery as part of the refurbishment process whilst others will leave the original one in but will hopefully provide some indication as to how long it will last for.

RE: Questions about KNFB Reader...
Hi Kerri, Paperback books are probably one of the most difficult items to read successfully with the KNFB Reader. Your goal would be to make the book as close as possible to a flat document. Obviously, this can be tricky. It's also possible that the text on the adjoining page (next to the page you're trying to read) is confusing the KNFB Reader, causing the tilt guidance to continually try to correct its focus. You could try covering the adjoining page with cardboard or thick paper, and setting the camera to automatic. I would also try turning off the tilt guidance for a few shots. I have the Stand Scan, but I did not find it to be very helpful with paperback books.

RE: Stocks in notification center
Hi Sharon and John, Now that there are interactive notifications removing and adding items is done from Notification Centre. Pull down with 3 fingers after touching the status bar to open the Notification Centre. At the bottom you will find an Edit button. Double tap it and now you will see the items in the Notification Centre and there is a Delete button to the left. After the items that are in Notification Centre are those which are not and also apps are listed which can be inserted into Notification Centre. 2 examples, if you have these apps installed, are Audible Stats and Dropbox. If you insert them you will be able to see your listening statistics in Notification Centre and you will be able to see a list of recently added and changed files for Dropbox.

RE: Questions about KNFB Reader...
Hi Gary, Tilt guidance has nothing to do with if you have another page next to the one you are trying to scan or not. Tilt guidance works completely independently from whether you are even pointing the camera at text or a blank table top. It is the vibrations you feel if the phone is not held completely flat (parallel to the table. It vibrates in different ways depending on whether you are tilting your phone left to right or front to back, if the phone is held flat it will stop vibrating. A few people have reported that they are successfully scanning both pages of an open book together. KNFB Reaer will treat this as 2 separate columns and read the pages in the correct order. I'll try to find a book and give it a try.

Dropbox issues with text and Word documents in iOS 7
Morning all. I am having some interesting issues with the newest Dropbox version on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2. In a recent Dropbox update, the ability to have my location saved within a Word document was added to the app. That was really cool. However, I've noticed that when viewing Word documents, the first letter in a number of different lines is missing. I thought it was just with one file, but I opened up a different file this weekend and found the same situation. I know it is not the file since all words appear normally. Wehn viewing a text file, though my position is not retained in the file, all of the text does show up. Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? I use my Braille display with my iPhone in church to read the songs. I've got quite a few songs saved in separate Word documents. I would hate to have to create additional text copies of those songs, in order to read them and have all the text show up, but will if I have to.

Ear-phones stopped working suddenly in iPad mini

Deleting Books in Audible
Hello all, I noticed that someone commented on how to delete a book in the latest update to the Audible.com app (September 2014), but for the life of me, I can’t find the original answer detailing how it is done. There is a “delete” button between “recent” and “refresh,” and then there is a “delete” button to the right of the book title I wish to delete. I’ve tried multiple combinations of these buttons to delete the book from my device (not my library), and the result is that Audible begins playing the book. Any help would be appreciated.

Obviously, this can be tricky. It's also possible that the text on the adjoining page (next to the page you're trying to read) is confusing the KNFB Reader, causing the tilt guidance to continually try to correct its focus. You could try covering the adjoining page with cardboard or thick paper, and setting the camera to automatic. I would also try turning off the tilt guidance for a few shots.

Hi Everyone: I am still having a little trouble with KNFB Reader. Last night, I went to my parents house and tried using the KNFB Reader there. I did get it to successfully scan a flat letter, but I have a bunch of paperback books I really want to read that I was hoping I could sort of use the KNFB reader to read. I went through the archives on this list and I read how a few people successfully got results with paperback books but I'm still having a lot of trouble with paperback books. I also have not gotten the tilted guidance to stop vibrating at all. By reading the archives, people are saying it is best to hold the phone in landscape mode...what does that mean? Also, people said it is best to hold the phone 10- inches or so above the page...how high is that? I guess I'm just feeling frustrated because I still don't think I am doing it right. Every once in a while I get good results but usually I end up holding the phone close to the page and yet to get the best results you are supposed to hold it 10 inches above the page but I have no idea how high 10 inches is and I still have not gotten the guidance to completely stop vibrating. Have you been able to get good/accurate results on a standard, gently used paperback book? For someone like me who is having trouble, would purchasing a standscan be best? Has the standscan made it easier to get accurate results? Would a standscan help with my wanting to scan and read a paperback book?

If you are indeed scanning entire bvooks I think a flatbed scanner is still the way to go. As far as using a 2-finger double tap to stop and start reading that does work for me. I suspect you don’t do the gesture quite correctly. If Voiceover tells you what is on the screen maybe it is just registering as a single 2-finger tap. I find it easiest to hold the phone with one hand and to use the other to do my tapping. Having tilt feedback on I think works great and I occasionally use the field of view report. Fortunately I find it not too difficult to hold the phne level and usually within 5 degrees skew which doesn’t seem to effect the scan quality very much if at all. I guess everybody is different here just as people use different methods to hold the phone and type, it is something we all have to figure out for ourselves. Regards, Sieghard From:

If you are indeed scanning entire bvooks I think a flatbed scanner is still the way to go. As far as using a 2-finger double tap to stop and start reading that does work for me. I suspect you don’t do the gesture quite correctly. If Voiceover tells you what is on the screen maybe it is just registering as a single 2-finger tap.

Fortunately I find it not too difficult to hold the phne level and usually within 5 degrees skew which doesn’t seem to effect the scan quality very much if at all.

The app is outstanding and I have already deleted Prizmo and Text Grabber from my phone since I don't see myself using them any more now that I have KNFB Reader. The tilt feedback via vibrations is very useful and the field of view report is amazing. The fact that it tells you whether you are holding the phone even the slightest little bit turned with respect to the page qlong with which edges are visible is awesome. As Jonathan already pointed out the recognition is lightning fast and what I really like is how simple the app is.

Logistics of Taking Picture with KNFB Reader
Hello all, Per the podcast on KNFB Reader, you can place 2 fingers on the take picture button then lift one to take a picture. This is part of the app designed to make it easier to take a picture without moving your phone. The take picture button is quite large, taking up most of the left side of the phone. Now, having said all this, I do not have KNFB Reader yet. I am basing this info on 2 podcasts plus info I have read about the app. Someone who has it could verify that this works. Regards, Sherry Wells -Original Message- From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2014 3:56 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: KNFB Reader, First Impressions Hi Rob, I tried the volume button in KNFB Reader and at least for me it doesn't seem to work. ?But in any case, I actually find pushing the volume button is more likely to make me move the phone than a double tap or split tap. The iPhone's touch screen really requires a very light touch and with a bit of practice you can do a double tap and barely touch the screen. What I haven't tried yet is to use the headset. This is probably the best method for taking a picture as you can press the middle part of the headset to take the picture or start/stop video recording and you don't even have to touch your phone at all or press any button. As for holding the phone, I just hold it in my left hand gripping just the bottom half of the phone from underneath and I find this quite natural and then my right hand is free to do the tapping.

I don't have the app, but sometimes a new app will crash upon being opened.

For those who invest in the KNFB Reader app and have purchased either an iPhone 6 or 6 plus, it would be terrific to post on the accuracy of the app in comparison to the phone that they originally installed the app on. Also, if one can also comment on the use of the app with the 6 plus in particular because of the optical stabilization.

It read the page of a book perfectly, and it read a letter I received in the mail. The feedback one gets via vibration to line up the picture is incredibly helpful.

I just tested my work iPhone 5 and if I have vibrate on ring on and vibrate on silent on, I get exactly what you get. If the phone is not muted, it both vibrates and rings. If I mute it, then it vibrates once and then VoiceOver says accept. If I set the vibration to off for ring, but on for silent, then when the phone is muted it vibrates until it gets answered or the person hangs up. It does the same on my personal 5S. So, I think in iOS 8, if you want it to vibrate when muted, you have to set vibrate on ring to off and have vibrate on silent on. I am pretty sure this was not the case in iOS 7, but I could be wrong.

I'm having an issue with my i phone 5S that has started happening recently. If my phone is not on mute, it will ring and vibrate just fine. If it's muted, the phone will not vibrate. It will only vibrate one time and then the caller ID comes up where you have to accept or decline. It will not continue bvibrating to let me know the phone is receiving a call. I went in to the settings and both the sounds vibrate on silent is on as well as the other setting that has to do with vibrating. I've been dealing with the apple accessibility and had to restore my phone which didn't fix the issue. I also lost the Alex voice and have to redownload. I'm not a happy camper and am considering going to the TMobile store and getting a diffferent 5S or something. Anyone else seen this behavior and is it a bug? Any ideas on how to fix it? I can't have a phone that doesn't vibrate on silent. It will vibrate for the alerts that come across. -- Rebecca and Guide Dog Zeb email: rilni...@gmail.com twitter: zebs_mom -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: Ear-phones stopped working suddenly in iPad mini
It is possible, but not likely. Most likely just the sound volume got turned to 0 somehow. iDevices keep track of earphone volume and speaker volume separately which explains why the external speaker is working. Here is what you should try: Go to your home screen Plug in your earphones and do a 2-finger swipe up. This will cause Voiceover to start reading from the top. Now repeatedly press the volume up button onl your headset and see if the volume comes back.

RE: Deleting Books in Audible
1. Double tap the top delete button (to the left of refresh) 2. Now you first have to double tap on Edit Mode. There will be an Edit Mode button to the left of each title near the edge of the screen. I at least can’t swipe to that button, I have to find it by moving my finger straight to the left from the title I want to delete. When you find it, double tap it. 3. Now double tap the delete button to the right of the book title.

There is a “delete” button between “recent” and “refresh,” and then there is a “delete” button to the right of the book title I wish to delete. I’ve tried multiple combinations of these buttons to delete the book from my device (not my library), and the result is that Audible begins playing the book. Any help would be appreciated.

Just type knfb and not with the reader added and should find it as I did; but, hadn't bought it yet.

The company did not let us down. Its really worth its money. It sounded a bit expensive at the beginning but, when you see what it does, its worth every penny. I'm about to delete all the others also. I still would like the vibrator to work in the vertical to position for documents mounted on the wall or bulletin boards.

I used the phone in portrait mode and also had the letter size document in portrait mode. KNFB Reader did an outstanding job on the letter and I had very good results from the invoice and the other document. The app is outstanding and I have already deleted Prizmo and Text Grabber from my phone since I don't see myself using them any more now that I have KNFB Reader. The tilt feedback via vibrations is very useful and the field of view report is amazing. The fact that it tells you whether you are holding the phone even the slightest little bit turned with respect to the page qlong with which edges are visible is awesome. As Jonathan already pointed out the recognition is lightning fast and what I really like is how simple the app is. They have definitely outdone themselves with that app. I have yet to put it through its paces in other situations, but I am already very happy about my $100 investment as I know that it will be of much use in the years to come.

If you are saying that taking a landscape picture of a page that is essentially a portrait improves results, that makes no logical sense. The number of pixels lost is on the order of 40%. You lose about 20% on the left and right sides to meaningless background if a full portrait page is in view in landscape I don't buy it. There must be another factor contributing to the issue. Unless of course, the OCR engine works better with fewer pixels. -k Faith doesn't give you the answers, it merely stops you from asking the questions.

I find I get the best results by putting a page of text on a table, like I would be reading it in Braille or visually. Then hold the phone sideways a few centimetres above the page. Use the vibration feedback so that the phone stops vibrating, indicating you have the angle right, then take the picture. For further feedback before you take the picture, you might use the
