Re: KNFB Reader
OCR programs are designed to recognize clear text. A captia is often very hard for someone with very good eyesight to read because they are intentionally unclear, obscured text. So I wouldn't expect KNFB Reader or any OCR app to be able to read them. Richard Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

New accessible lossless cd quality music streamer
Hi, There have been launched a new lossless cd-quality music streamer in USA called TIDAL HIFI i recommend visiting their web site www.tidalhifi.com and try the web player wich is very accessible exept for the search field i.e. search field for artists. Personally i use a physical mouse to enter the search field, but it is in a group or something(with voice over). Send lots of mails to support about easier access to the search field. Otherwise the web player is very accessible on mac and maybe also on pc. The iPhone app seems to be accessible too. Personally i only use mac. This music streamer is founded in Norway under the name WIMP HIFI and laundched in many european countries and now also in USA.

RE: Sonos speakers
No, Sonos is what I would consider Hi-Fi audio equipment for multi-room setups. None of their speakers works on batteries and none of them is bluetooth as the limited bandwidth of bluetooth does not allow for high-end audio playback. The least expensive Sonos speaker is a Play 1 which is $199.99. You can go to www.sonos.com and read more about them, the next one up is the Play 3 for $299, then the Play 5 for $399. You can buy 2 of any of these and run them as a stereo pair and then Sonos offers other players which work with existing receivers/amplifyers, they also offer a stand-alone player with 110 Watt amplifier built in which you can connect to existing bookshelf or floor standing speakers and they offer a TV soundbar called the Playbar and also a Subwover which you can use in connection with any of their speakers or the Playbar. Sonos can be set up completely wirelessly by connecting it to your home WiFi, but you can also wire one player or speaker to your router or buy what is called a Bridge or Boost which is wired to your router. If you set it up this way Sonos creates its own wireless network and if you want to set up a surround setup in theliving room with a Playbar, Sub and two Play 1 or Play 3 speakers as rear speakers then you have to wire at least one Sonos component to your router or use a Bridge or Boost. Sonos is controlled entirely via the iPhone app or you can also install a PC or Mac controller and they do of course also have an Android app. They do also offer their own touch screen remote, but it is not accessible and each player has only 2 buttons, a volume rocker switch and a Play/Pause button. Sonos players have no on/off switch, they are always on and go into sleep mode when they are not used where they consume I think 1 or less Watts of energy. It's a fantastic system which has been around for some years, I bought my first stuff over 5 years ago and they continue to innovate and come out with new products and of course improve their software. It's easy for them to add new features since all they have to do is release a software update which you install from inside the app and it updates your speakers/players.

Hi Joseph, I don’t want to be negative here, but one thing I always wonder about is how people sign up for these super expensive plans and feel they are getting their money’s worth when in fact these plans are a rip-off.

For those who don’t know what this is, the product consists of a bridge which connects to your router and which can then talk to up to 50 light bulbs. You can then control said LED light bulbs via the free app and turn the lights on/off, set brightness level, change the colour of the light from regular warm white to any colour you can think of and create schedules which turn lights on or off at certain times and so on. The product is pretty expensive at this point, a starter pack with bridge and 3 light bulbs is $199.99, each additional light bulb is $59.99. You can get a bridge with 2 of the so-called “Lux” light bulbs for $99.99 and additional bulbs for $29.99. These less expensive bulbs can only be dimmed, but cannot change colour. There are a couple of styles like regular A19 household bulbs or BR30 floodlights. I just saw that Belkin has released a competitive product under their Wemo line of home automation products. At this point they only have bulbs which cannot change colour and the pricing for those is the same as the Philipps ones. I really hope this drops in price to a point where bulbs would be $19.99 or so and maybe $29.99 for the ones which can change colour. You can pick up a good quality LED light bulb these days for around $8 or $9 so paying a $20 premium just so they can talk to the bridge is steep, but I am still wondering about the accessibility. If it comes to a point where all bulbs in the house are like this light detectors would for the most part become a thing of the past as eventually we would just tell SIRI to turn off all lights (still wishful thinking at this time, but I also think this may only be 2 or 3 years away).

Re: Sonos speakers
Just out of curiosity, i wonder if the recommendations abroad are the same as here in Sweden. The sonos vendor here in Sweden or at least one of them recommends a Connect amp and stereo speakers for the best sound in the living room where you listen most often to music. /Krister 19 dec 2014 kl. 15:41 skrev Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca: No, Sonos is what I would consider Hi-Fi audio equipment for multi-room setups. None of their speakers works on batteries and none of them is bluetooth as the limited bandwidth of bluetooth does not allow for high-end audio playback. The least expensive Sonos speaker is a Play 1 which is $199.99. You can go to www.sonos.com and read more about them, the next one up is the Play 3 for $299, then the Play 5 for $399. You can buy 2 of any of these and run them as a stereo pair and then Sonos offers other players which work with existing receivers/amplifyers, they also offer a stand-alone player with 110 Watt amplifier built in which you can connect to existing bookshelf or floor standing speakers and they offer a TV soundbar called the Playbar and also a Subwover which you can use in connection with any of their speakers or the Playbar. Sonos can be set up completely wirelessly by connecting it to your home WiFi, but you can also wire one player or speaker to your router or buy what is called a Bridge or Boost which is wired to your router. If you set it up this way Sonos creates its own wireless network and if you want to set up a surround setup in theliving room with a Playbar, Sub and two Play 1 or Play 3 speakers as rear speakers then you have to wire at least one Sonos component to your router or use a Bridge or Boost. Sonos is controlled entirely via the iPhone app or you can also install a PC or Mac controller and they do of course also have an Android app. They do also offer their own touch screen remote, but it is not accessible and each player has only 2 buttons, a volume rocker switch and a Play/Pause button. Sonos players have no on/off switch, they are always on and go into sleep mode when they are not used where they consume I think 1 or less Watts of energy. It's a fantastic system which has been around for some years, I bought my first stuff over 5 years ago and they continue to innovate and come out with new products and of course improve their software. It's easy for them to add new features since all they have to do is release a software update which you install from inside the app and it updates your speakers/players.

For those who don't know what this is, the product consists of a bridge which connects to your router and which can then talk to up to 50 light bulbs. You can then control said LED light bulbs via the free app and turn the lights on/off, set brightness level, change the colour of the light from regular warm white to any colour you can think of and create schedules which turn lights on or off at certain times and so on. The product is pretty expensive at this point, a starter pack with bridge and 3 light bulbs is $199.99, each additional light bulb is $59.99. You can get a bridge with 2 of the so-called Lux light bulbs for $99.99 and additional bulbs for $29.99. These less expensive bulbs can only be dimmed, but cannot change colour. There are a couple of styles like regular A19 household bulbs or BR30 floodlights. I just saw that Belkin has released a competitive product under their Wemo line of home automation products. At this point they only have bulbs which cannot change colour and the pricing for those is the same as the Philipps ones. I really hope this drops in price to a point where bulbs would be $19.99 or so and maybe $29.99 for the ones which can change colour. You can pick up a good quality LED light bulb these days for around $8 or $9 so paying a $20 premium just so they can talk to the bridge is steep, but I am still wondering about the accessibility. If it comes to a point where all bulbs in the house are like this light detectors would for the most part become a thing of the past as eventually we would just tell SIRI to turn off all lights (still
RE: Sonos speakers
Hi Krister, The fidelity of a Connect Amp depends entirely on the speakers you connect to it. If you connect a pair of $150 or $200 bookshelf speakers to it it won't sound as good as when you connect a pair of $1,000 speakers to it. If you already own a pair of really good speakers I agree that going with a Connect Amp is a good way to go. It's actually a very good little amplifier with it's 55 Watss of Class D amplification per channel. If, however, you don't own a set of good speakers and you would possibly buy a pair of $800 or $1000 speakers + spend $600 on a Connect Amp, you really should probably go to a store and listen to a setup of two Play 5 in stereo mode with a Sonos Sub. This setup would cost $1,500 so about the same as a good pair of speakers and a Connect Amp and you gain the benefit of a subwover. I would say you have to spend more if you buy a Connect Amp with traditional speakers although you could of course add a Sonos Sub to that type of setup. Either way, the point is that you can have a $200 single Play 1 Sonos system and still take advantage of the great features they offer with respect to access to free and subscription based online music services or you can spend many thousands of Dollars to put Sonos everywhere in yoru house and customize it any which way you like. I have a very high-end system in a separate music room in my basement with a $6,000 tube Amp and custom speakers and subwovers and the source for that system used to be a $2,500 Sonic Frontiers CD Transport which was connected to an even more expensive Sonic Frontiers Digital to Analogue converter. I have replaced this CD Transport with a Sonos Connect which I connected via Digital Coax cable to my Digital to Analogue converter so that it only provides the signal, my high-end system decodes the signal, amplifies it and plays it on the custom speaker/subwover setup and it sounds every bit as good as when I had my CD Transport hooked up except now I have so much more flexibility when it comes to what music I want to play. Before I was limited to my CD collection, now I can play any of them which are now all ripped in lossless FLAC format to an external network attached hard drive, but I can also play lossless music from my new Tidal subscription and to my 47-year old ears I cannot hear the difference. This is a good example where I combined a 20-year old really high-end stereo system with a new piece of technology for an amazing result.

None of their speakers works on batteries and none of them is bluetooth as the limited bandwidth of bluetooth does not allow for high-end audio playback. The least expensive Sonos speaker is a Play 1 which is $199.99. You can go to www.sonos.com and read more about them, the next one up is the Play 3 for $299, then the Play 5 for $399. You can buy 2 of any of these and run them as a stereo pair and then Sonos offers other players which work with existing receivers/amplifyers, they also offer a stand-alone player with 110 Watt amplifier built in which you can connect to existing bookshelf or floor standing speakers and they offer a TV soundbar called the Playbar and also a Subwover which you can use in connection with any of their speakers or the Playbar. Sonos can be set up completely wirelessly by connecting it to your home WiFi, but you can also wire one player or speaker to your router or buy what is called a Bridge or Boost which is wired to your router. If you set it up this way Sonos creates its own wireless network and if you want to set up a surround setup in theliving room with a Playbar, Sub and two Play 1 or Play 3 speakers as rear speakers then you have to wire at least one Sonos component to your router or use a Bridge or Boost. Sonos is controlled entirely via the iPhone app or you can also install a PC or Mac controller and they do of course also have an Android app. They do also offer their own touch screen remote, but it is not accessible and each player has only 2 buttons, a volume rocker switch and a Play/Pause button. Sonos players have no on/off switch, they are always on and go into sleep mode when they are not used where they consume I think 1 or less Watts of energy. It's a fantastic system which has been around for some

Sonos and the Tidal music service
Hello Sonos owners, Just wanted to let you know that while Tidal is not officially supported by Sonos, you can add the service to your Sonos system via the Beta/Sonos Labs feature. Here is what you do: 1. Go to www.TidalHiFi.com http://www.TidalHiFi.com and sign up for an account if you don't already have one 2. Open the Sonos app on your iphone and go to the music menu, then Settings, then My Services 3. You will see a list of the services you have setup with the title/heading of in Use. Double tap on In Use and then flick right to the beta option. 4. Do a 3-finger swipe up until you get to the end of the listing of services, it's in alphabetical order so Tidal is towards the end. 5. Double tap on Tidal, then on Add Account, say you already have an account and then enter your login email address and password. I have just set it up and I'm about 5 songs into an album I added to the My Music section, the Tidal implementation seems to be very nice on Sonos and while the first song skipped to the next after a few seconds, it's been playing solid and without skips and drop-outs ever since. I just got off the phone with Sonos support to try and figure out why my Deezer account/subscription constantly skips after playing half the song. The tech support guy I talked to was as friendly and helpful as always with Sonos support. I submitted a couple of diagnostics and he said he is going to escalate this to the next level since he doesn't see much in the diagnostic reports which would indicate why it's doing this. For now I'm happy that Tidal seems to be working well and it just may become the music subscription of my choice.

RE: Accessibility of app to control Philipps or Belkin WiFi connected LED light bulbs
Light detector is wonderful for finding lights around. I don’t think I know anything about the lights you are talking about here, in fact, I know I haven’t a clue but I do know how guests seem to turn on every light in the house and then leave me to figure out which ones are on and I find some I’d least expect, like in my bedroom where they were not invited or expected to be. Drives me a bit crazy. Not sure I would automate this place anyway it would probably break everything, and I have had enough things stop working here over the past several months. Need to change batteries in a talking thermostat today, hope I have the right batteries and can figure out how to do this, recall Tom taking it off the wall once a few years ago, not sure if I can do it or will have to call cousin/husband over 100 miles away to help, hopefully since I know how to use almost any hand tool I can do this alone. If I don’t have the right batteries I can call someone close but she is not mechanical at all, I know 10 times what she does about fixing anything. She is a great driver, great finder if something its lost but no mechanic. At least Dad knew life would be difficult enough, so he taught me at a very early age how to use hand tools, screwdrivers, wrenches, of all types and how to take apart and put things together. I could have been only about four when I replaced a door knob that was a problem in their house. Mom did not want me to do it but once I did she was glad she did not have to wait for Dad to come home and fix it. Still messing with this thermostat is not my idea of fun but if I don’t I won’t have the right assistance until Christmas Eve.

RE: ENDING PHONECALLS
Hi Carol. I find that if I do the two finger double tap nearer to the center of the screen it works more consistently. On my 4S I could do it right above the home button, but on my 6 that doesn’t work as well. I just got a set of speed dots for my 6, and I think the end button has a dot, but I’ve not checked that out. Maybe someone else could chime in about that. If it is, as I believe, marked it might be well worth the investment for you. They aren’t that expensive. God bless!

Thanks, Paula, for your thoughts particularly about Speedots. I tried them once but found they didn't work for me as I was so keen to actually feel the dot that I was just going wrong all the time.

RE: KNFB Reader
No, it does not, tried the other day when a listen link as provided but I could not figure out what sounds I should have typed in. People should be shot for these things, truly an accessibility problem and I hate waiting until someone visits who can figure them out for me. Have Firefox but can’t get it ‘s add-in to work for me either which is one reason I’d like to see them disappear off the face of the earth which won’t happen in my lifetime. Between websites that are not accessible, CAPCHAs and thing in my house which is old which refuse to work as expected, then the outsourcing my current job in March, I am ready to start pulling my hair out, and trust me, I have a lot of hair,. In reality I hate pulling hair, hurts and I don’t like pain, even brushing tangled hair bothers me but I am still annoyed that more things are wrong here than right. CAPTCHAs are a problem now that I am looking for jobs, or options to change a career I have had for 38 years. Part of me wants to toss in the towel but another part keeps right on plugging away, doing what I can to not find myself on disability. Anyone need a very used medical transcriptionist? Why was I so stupid as to remain loyal to the same organization for 38 plus years, no one does that any longer or so I read. Too late now, I did it and I would not undo that part of me, loyalty is a part of my nature.

Re: Accessibility of app to control Philipps or Belkin WiFi connected LED light bulbs
Hi, It would also be interesting if such systems could indicate when a bulb has died and needs replacing. Dead light bulbs are the bane of my existence (smile). Robin From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2014 2:46 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Accessibility of app to control Philipps or Belkin WiFi connected LED light bulbs Hi List, I was wondering if anybody has Philipps Hue connected light bulbs and whether the app is fully accessible. For those who don’t know what this is, the product consists of a bridge which connects to your router and which can then talk to up to 50 light bulbs. You can then control said LED light bulbs via the free app and turn the lights on/off, set brightness level, change the colour of the light from regular warm white to any colour you can think of and create schedules which turn lights on or off at certain times and so on. The product is pretty expensive at this point, a starter pack with bridge and 3 light bulbs is $199.99, each additional light bulb is $59.99. You can get a bridge with 2 of the so-called “Lux” light bulbs for $99.99 and additional bulbs for $29.99. These less expensive bulbs can only be dimmed, but cannot change colour. There are a couple of styles like regular A19 household bulbs or BR30 floodlights. I just saw that Belkin has released a competitive product under their Wemo line of home automation products. At this point they only have bulbs which cannot change colour and the pricing for those is the same as the Philipps ones. I really hope this drops in price to a point where bulbs would be $19.99 or so and maybe $29.99 for the ones which can change colour. You can pick up a good quality LED light bulb these days for around $8 or $9 so paying a $20 premium just so they can talk to the bridge is steep, but I am still wondering about the accessibility. If it comes to a point where all bulbs in the house are like this light detectors would for the most part become a thing of the past as eventually we would just tell SIRI to turn off all lights (still wishful thinking at this time, but I also think this may only be 2 or 3 years away).

Re: Accessibility of app to control Philipps or Belkin WiFi connected LED light bulbs
Hi Sieghard, I have the Wemo switch which lets me turn power outlets on / off remotely; as far as I'm aware all the Wemo devices use the same app for control in my experience the app is fully accessible. With a little bit of jailbreak magic I can now turn things on and off around the house with my voice. I know jailbreaking's not really your thing but sometimes it's nice to show what can be done. As a side note, solutions for controling wemo devices outside of iOS aren't overly great at the moment but I did find this http://moderntoil.com/?p=839 shell script which works for me. It can be made to run under Windows with the help of sigwin. Cheers, Ben. On 12/18/14, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi List, I was wondering if anybody has Philipps Hue connected light bulbs and whether the app is fully accessible. For those who don't know what this is, the product consists of a bridge which connects to your router and which can then talk to up to 50 light bulbs. You can then control said LED light bulbs via the free app and turn the lights on/off, set brightness level, change the colour of the light from regular warm white to any colour you can think of and create schedules which turn lights on or off at certain times and so on. The product is pretty expensive at this point, a starter pack with bridge and 3 light bulbs is $199.99, each additional light bulb is $59.99. You can get a bridge with 2 of the so-called Lux light bulbs for $99.99 and additional bulbs for $29.99. These less expensive bulbs can only be dimmed, but cannot change colour. There are a couple of styles like regular A19 household bulbs or BR30 floodlights. I just saw that Belkin has released a competitive product under their Wemo line of home automation products. At this point they only have bulbs which cannot change colour and the pricing for those is the same as the Philipps ones. I really hope this drops in price to a point where bulbs would be $19.99 or so and maybe $29.99 for the ones which can change colour. You can pick up a good quality LED light bulb these days for around $8 or $9 so paying a $20 premium just so they can talk to the bridge is steep, but I am still wondering about the accessibility. If it comes to a point where all bulbs in the house are like this light detectors would for the most part become a thing of the past as eventually we would just tell SIRI to turn off all lights (still wishful thinking at this time, but I also think this may only be 2 or 3 years away).

RE: ENDING PHONECALLS
Hi, Have people tried ending a call by pressing the power/lock button twice in quick succession? This works reliably for me in iOS7, but I haven't upgraded to iOS8 yet, for reasons which are irrelevant for this topic, so I have no idea whether it still works. Perhaps it's worth a try.

As was already said, take the phone away from your ear, wait for the speaker to turn on, and then do the 2 finger double tap. The 2 finger double tap can take a bit of practice. Your fingers should be spread a bit apart when you do the double tap. The sleep switch is the exact opposite, it won't hang up a call unless voiceover is on and the phone is at your ear. The hangup button used to stretch across the whole bottom of the screen. Now it's just a button in the middle of the screen. If you place your finger at the bottom of the screen in the middle and draw a line up, you should also find the button.

I now use it with a 30 pin to lightning connector adapter and it has worked fine. That is, until recently. All that has changed is that I have upgraded my iPhone 5S to IOS 8.1. I also can’t use my old 4S on the Sound Doc and my husband can’t use his iPhone 6. When we try, the music cuts out immediately. This happens whether Voiceover is on or off. I seem to recall that there were one or two others on this list who own the Sound Dock 10. Have you encountered similar issues? Does this mean I have to lug it to the Bose store so they can send it in for repairs? Suzanne -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Fleksy update
With the old Fleksy VO app, I was able to type with near perfection very quickly, much faster than I have been able to do with predictive typing. Granted, I'm still getting used to the predictive option. I could type out a long text in leksy VO and then copy/paste it to a text or iMessage. Having that ability to easily use anywhere you have a text field in iOS would be awesome.

Finding accessible ring tone downloading programs
Hello everyone, I was wondering, is there a free, accessible, ring tone program, when I can download ring tones to my phone? I found one a while back, but I could not figure out how to get the ring tones to show up to where I could actually use them. So I got rid of the programI don't remember the name of it now. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I am very interested. Thank you so much! Terri Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Sonos setup
Hi, Thanks to Sieghard, Neal and many others on this list, I've taken the plunge with Sonos. So far, I totally love the sound. I haven't had such great access to music and quality of music reproduction for years. I bought 4 Play3 speakers to setup as 2 stereo pairs in our 2 most frequently used rooms. I called Sonos help twice, both in anticipation of setting up the system. With this background, I was able to set up the system without problem in about 30 minutes. The help I got from the Sonos rep by phone proved most useful to me. Maybe there's other ways to get the info, but it's the only install guidance I received. The first bit of information I got was how to power on the speaker. The Sonos app refers the user to a diagram that wasn't described. Looking at the speaker from the front grill, with the speaker placed horizontally, there are two buttons on the top of the unit. The first from the front is a rectangular, rocker-style button. This is the Volume Up and Down. Depressing this rocker on the front edge is Volume Down; depressing this button on the back edge is Volume Up. Behind this rectangular button is a square button which serves as Play / Pause, or sometimes known as Mute. To Power on a unit, simultaneously depress Volume Up button and the Mute button, then release. The second bit of useful information I got was the procedure for setting up 4 new speakers. Although Sonos operating system is now capable of wireless setup, the rep suggested he had no way of knowing if all the units I received were wireless capable out of the box. He suggested I use a temporary wired setup. This worked like a charm. I Ethernet connected from the router to the first of my Sonos speakers and followed the setup on the app. It then asked me to set up the next. The 2nd through 4th speakers setup wirelessly, with each unit positioned where it will live. Once I was done building my system, the app completed a software update of all the units, thus ensuring that any future setup could be done entirely by wireless. I was then able to disconnect the temporary wired unit and position it where it now lives, all units being entirely wireless. Several steps in individual unit setup referred to green light or white light or blinking light indicators on the speaker, but each of these was associated with spoken guidance of waiting a minute or so or a few seconds. I couldn't tell the light status at any of these steps, but following the time guidance, I encountered no problems. After that, just some trial and error with the app to get music playing, and that was all it took! Best, Keith -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Finding subject lines [was Re: How to forwArd text messages on latest version of iOS]
This brings me to another question. I've always felt that with all of the different email client and screen reader options out there, you shouldn't rely on someone to always check the subject line. For example, if I'm using the stock Mail app on the iPhone, and I hit the previous or next buttons, I don't hear the subject line of the next message read to me automatically like I do when I delete a message. If I go flicking left or right or exploring on the screen, I can't seem to find the subject line. Therefore, my question is this, what am I doing wrong and why can't I find the subject line when I'm looking at a message in the iPhone Mail app?

For those who don’t know what this is, the product consists of a bridge which connects to your router and which can then talk to up to 50 light bulbs. You can then control said LED light bulbs via the free app and turn the lights on/off, set brightness level, change the colour of the light from regular warm white to any colour you can think of and create schedules which turn lights on or off at certain times and so on. The product is pretty expensive at this point, a starter pack with bridge and 3 light bulbs is $199.99, each additional light bulb is $59.99. You can get a bridge with 2 of the so-called “Lux” light bulbs for $99.99 and additional bulbs for $29.99. These less expensive bulbs can only be dimmed, but cannot change colour. There are a couple of styles like regular A19 household bulbs or BR30 floodlights. I just saw that Belkin has released a competitive product under their Wemo line of home automation products.

I really hope this drops in price to a point where bulbs would be $19.99 or so and maybe $29.99 for the ones which can change colour. You can pick up a good quality LED light bulb these days for around $8 or $9 so paying a $20 premium just so they can talk to the bridge is steep, but I am still wondering about the accessibility.

RE: Accessibility of app to control Philipps or Belkin WiFi connected LED light bulbs
Thanks, Ben, I know jailbreaking does has a few interesting perks, but I assume Apple will give developers access to SIRI sooner or later and it's probably going to be sooner rather than later. I heard a demo when SIRI first came out where the guy who did the demo had found a way to control his WiFi thermostat with SIRI. Apart from a focus on health related stuff, I think there will be a lot of new stuff in the area of home automation. I heard that some developers found code somewhere which indicates Apple may design a new Apple TV to be not just for TV and other media, but also the hub for everything related to home automation. I think this would make total sense since your Apple TV sits there all the time, it's already connected to your home network and could easily pass along all sorts of commands and requests.

RE: Accessibility of app to control Philipps or Belkin WiFi connected LED light bulbs
Hi Steve, That’s a matter of opinion and also very much depends on the size of your dwelling. If you live in a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment I agree that it’s not hard to figure out what lights are on with a light detector or even by checking the switch positions. If you have a 2 or 3 story house with 4 or 5 bedrooms, several bathrooms, a utility room, family room, living room, kitchen and so on it’s a different matter. You’d be running all over the place, up and down the stairs where you could just pull up your app and turn off all lights at once. Then there is of course the advantage of being able to set schedules where maybe a few lights come on here and there if you are not home to give the impression somebody is home.

RE: Sonos setup
Hi Keith, Congratulations on your Sonos setup, glad you like it as much as all of us Sonos users do. If you ever want to expand, you’ll find that adding a Sonos Sub to a set of Play 3 in stereo mode will make an amazing difference. And just to make this clear, my often rather enthusiastic endorsement of Sonos is not because I work for them *smile*. Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D. Sent: Friday, December 19, 2014 2:05 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Sonos setup Hi, Thanks to Sieghard, Neal and many others on this list, I’ve taken the plunge with Sonos. So far, I totally love the sound. I haven’t had such great access to music and quality of music reproduction for years. I bought 4 Play3 speakers to setup as 2 stereo pairs in our 2 most frequently used rooms. I called Sonos help twice, both in anticipation of setting up the system. With this background, I was able to set up the system without problem in about 30 minutes. The help I got from the Sonos rep by phone proved most useful to me. Maybe there’s other ways to get the info, but it’s the only install guidance I received. The first bit of information I got was how to power on the speaker. The Sonos app refers the user to a diagram that wasn’t described. Looking at the speaker from the front grill, with the speaker placed horizontally, there are two buttons on the top of the unit. The first from the front is a rectangular, rocker-style button. This is the Volume Up and Down. Depressing this rocker on the front edge is Volume Down; depressing this button on the back edge is Volume Up. Behind this rectangular button is a square button which serves as Play / Pause, or sometimes known as Mute. To Power on a unit, simultaneously depress Volume Up button and the Mute button, then release. The second bit of useful information I got was the procedure for setting up 4 new speakers. Although Sonos operating system is now capable of wireless setup, the rep suggested he had no way of knowing if all the units I received were wireless capable out of the box. He suggested I use a temporary wired setup. This worked like a charm. I Ethernet connected from the router to the first of my Sonos speakers and followed the setup on the app. It then asked me to set up the next. The 2nd through 4th speakers setup wirelessly, with each unit positioned where it will live. Once I was done building my system, the app completed a software update of all the units, thus ensuring that any future setup could be done entirely by wireless. I was then able to disconnect the temporary wired unit and position it where it now lives, all units being entirely wireless. Several steps in individual unit setup referred to green light or white light or blinking light indicators on the speaker, but each of these was associated with spoken guidance of waiting “a minute or so” or “a few seconds.” I couldn’t tell the light status at any of these steps, but following the time guidance, I encountered no problems. After that, just some trial and error with the app to get music playing, and that was all it took! Best, Keith -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

I've always felt that with all of the different email client and screen reader options out there, you shouldn't rely on someone to always check the subject line. For example, if I'm using the stock Mail app on the iPhone, and I hit the previous or next buttons, I don't hear the subject line of the next message read to me automatically like I do when I delete a message. If I go flicking left or right or exploring on the screen, I can't seem to find the subject line.

Re: Accessibility of app to control Philipps or Belkin WiFi connected LED light bulbs
Hi, Yes I’m aware of this they are a neat invention indeed. Robin From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2014 1:08 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Accessibility of app to control Philipps or Belkin WiFi connected LED light bulbs Hi Robin, Apart from the power-saving benefits, another advantage of LED light bulbs is their long life. A good LED bulb will last about 15 to 20 years with normal use of a few hours a day. Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Robin Frost Sent: Friday, December 19, 2014 11:16 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Accessibility of app to control Philipps or Belkin WiFi connected LED light bulbs Hi, It would also be interesting if such systems could indicate when a bulb has died and needs replacing. Dead light bulbs are the bane of my existence (smile). Robin From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2014 2:46 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Accessibility of app to control Philipps or Belkin WiFi connected LED light bulbs Hi List, I was wondering if anybody has Philipps Hue connected light bulbs and whether the app is fully accessible. For those who don’t know what this is, the product consists of a bridge which connects to your router and which can then talk to up to 50 light bulbs. You can then control said LED light bulbs via the free app and turn the lights on/off, set brightness level, change the colour of the light from regular warm white to any colour you can think of and create schedules which turn lights on or off at certain times and so on. The product is pretty expensive at this point, a starter pack with bridge and 3 light bulbs is $199.99, each additional light bulb is $59.99. You can get a bridge with 2 of the so-called “Lux” light bulbs for $99.99 and additional bulbs for $29.99. These less expensive bulbs can only be dimmed, but cannot change colour. There are a couple of styles like regular A19 household bulbs or BR30 floodlights. I just saw that Belkin has released a competitive product under their Wemo line of home automation products. At this point they only have bulbs which cannot change colour and the pricing for those is the same as the Philipps ones. I really hope this drops in price to a point where bulbs would be $19.99 or so and maybe $29.99 for the ones which can change colour. You can pick up a good quality LED light bulb these days for around $8 or $9 so paying a $20 premium just so they can talk to the bridge is steep, but I am still wondering about the accessibility. If it comes to a point where all bulbs in the house are like this light detectors would for the most part become a thing of the past as eventually we would just tell SIRI to turn off all lights (still wishful thinking at this time, but I also think this may only be 2 or 3 years away).

Re: How to forwArd text messages on latest version of iOS
Ar I see. I was on my mac at the time and use the message content scroll area to read messages. VoiceOver does not announce the subject in this case. Unless there's another way I will stick to it.
