Re: iTunes gift card deals, anyone?
Good God! You're a jerk! Just because someone wants a good deal, does not mean that they are in debt. Furthermore, it is not up to you whether they are or they aren't.

RE: The ScanJig
I was going to place an order, but the price was more then $30.00 with everything it came to 33.95, $6.00 for shipping making a total of $39.95. was there a coupon code or something to enter at checkout? No, not in debt nore cheap, just like to spend my money wisely. Thanks. From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2014 1:01 PM To: ViPone list Subject: The ScanJig OK, I now have seen what I consider the Cadillac of stands. I got the ScanJig at work Monday. I used KNFB Reader to scan the setup instructions, free-hand, and was able to figure out the pieces and put it together. I enjoy puzzles, so it was fun putting it together. It didn't take more than about 5 or 10 minutes to figure it out without sighted help. There are pictures of the pieces, so a sighted person could probably do it in 2. The ScanJig costs $30.00. It is made from hard plastic. It is a bit thicker than the other stands but it looks way more durable. It folds up into a box 13 by 9 and 1.5 inches thick. The beauty of the ScanJig is that it can hold anything from a smart phone to a tablet. It holds both the document and the device at an angle so there is less likelihood of casting a shadow over the document and it can capture the maximum of the room light or use the flash. There are no lights needed on the device itself. There is a movable Device Holder that snaps into one of four slots at various distances from the Document Shelf. On the Device Holder, is a little shelf that snaps in to hold the phone or tablet. There are 10 adjustment holes so you can get the optimum height of the device pointing at the document. I found with both the iPhone 5s and the 6, that the first slot, which is 11.5 inches from the document was the best position. I also found that if I put the shelf on the device holder in the second hole from the top, I can get the entire document even if it has narrow margins. There are some stick on pieces to help hold your device in place once you get the position where you want it. There are also two clips that can hold a document on the document shelf, for example, a tri-fold letter that wants to curl, you can clip it in place so it holds it steady. It is definitely more bulky when folded up than either the Giraffe Reader or the StandScan, but the fact that it will also hold a tablet from a full iPad to an iPad Mini or any smart phone I think gives it a big edge. Not to mention it is made out of much stronger material and at a great price. I'm going to paste the setup instructions below and also the link to their web site. www.scanjig.com Note: I added the focal distances to the setup instructions below. ScanJig Set-up Instructions Product Description: The ScanJig is designed for easy tactile positioning of both a smart device and documents for correct focus, alignment and field of view. Once set up - the stand holds smart phones or tablets in a vertical portrait orientation and at an angle where the device's touch screen interface is facing the user. The stand can also hold a document, in the same vertical portrait orientation, and angle, directly behind the smart phone or tablet. The device holder can be adjusted to position your device's rear lens to point directly at the center of the document. Once the device is positioned in the optimum location, stops can be applied to lock in this position. Then your phone or tablet can easily be placed in the same spot for each use. The product's open design takes advantage of ambient light and helps avoid shadows. Further the device flash is completely unobstructed if this feature is needed. What is stored inside the ScanJig * 1 - Smart Device Holder and Device Shelf - the device will sit on the shelf. * 2 - Document Clips - to better hold creased documents or small items. * 4 - Peal and Stick Device Stops - after your mobile device is positioned the stops help hold it in place and provide an easy way to quickly use the same position again. * 2 - Thin peal and stick spacers - if needed, these can be placed under your device for fine adjustment. Initial Set-Up 1 Lift up on the latch at the front end of the ScanJig and open the cover all the way until it stops. The inside of the cover is the Document Bed with a shelf on the bottom and a fence on the right. Place a document on the shelf and against the fence. 2 Positioning your device camera for a full screen view of the document. This initial set-up is done once, the optimum device position is then preserved by applying the peal and stick stops for subsequent uses. Reach inside the ScanJig tray and lift the Device Holder up and out of the storage clips. Slide the Device Holder into one of

Re: The ScanJig
I'm waiting for confirmation from ScanJig, but I believe I gave the wrong price. I went by memory from reading the review in AccessWorld from last year; that was a mistake. Also, this model is a newer model than the one they reviewed. I think the correct price is $39.95. The price I remembered was a sale price referenced in the AccessWorld article. I should have double checked the price with ScanJig before sending out my review. However, even if it is indeed $39.95, and it probably is, it is still well worth it. I am also sure there is a refund policy, which I will also check out and post corrected information as soon as I have it. If you are wondering how I could possibly have not known the price, it is because they sent me one to evaluate because I am the Training Center Director at a Commission for the Blind. The guy from StandScan also sent our agency a a couple free StandScans. The original model, and then the one out of the more improved material. Also, the Giraffe Reader was sold to me at half price. So, now that I have evaluated all three stands, if one can deal with the larger size of the ScanJig when transporting it, I still say it is hands-down the best stand and the most versatile. Sorry for the confusion, but once I hear from the ScanJig folks, I will post corrected information. But, it does look like the regular price will be $39.95.

Re: Voice Dream App Default Voice
Thank you Alex. Is Kendra the same voice that is used for the audio downloads on Bookshare- this is the voice that I prefer.

I got the ScanJig at work Monday. I used KNFB Reader to scan the setup instructions, free-hand, and was able to figure out the pieces and put it together.

There are pictures of the pieces, so a sighted person could probably do it in 2. The ScanJig costs $30.00. It is made from hard plastic. It is a bit thicker than the other stands but it looks way more durable. It folds up into a box 13 by 9 and 1.5 inches thick. The beauty of the ScanJig is that it can hold anything from a smart phone to a tablet. It holds both the document and the device at an angle so there is less likelihood of casting a shadow over the document and it can capture the maximum of the room light or use the flash. There are no lights needed on the device itself. There is a movable Device Holder that snaps into one of four slots at various distances from the Document Shelf. On the Device Holder, is a little shelf that snaps in to hold the phone or tablet. There are 10 adjustment holes so you can get the optimum height of the device pointing at the document. I found with both the iPhone 5s and the 6, that the first slot, which is 11.5 inches from the document was the best position. I also found that if I put the shelf on the device holder in the second hole from the top, I can get the entire document even if it has narrow margins. There are some stick on pieces to help hold your device in place once you get the position where you want it. There are also two clips that can hold a document on the document shelf, for example, a tri-fold letter that wants to curl, you can clip it in place so it holds it steady. It is definitely more bulky when folded up than either the Giraffe Reader or the StandScan, but the fact that it will also hold a tablet from a full iPad to an iPad Mini or any smart phone I think gives it a big edge.

RE: unable to purchase knfb reader due to lack of money somebody gift me please!
Hello everyone, I am not a moderator and I apologize if I am stepping over a line, but I don't think I am, and I need to share this. We have had some fairly harsh things to say about ram's request. I totally agree that it is not OK to ask for a gift like the KNFB Reader from this list. However, let's step outside of our own United States shoes and into someone else's for a moment. From the name and the English usage, I am guessing that Ram may not be a native English speaker and may be from another country and another culture where asking for gifts from strangers may not have the bad connotations that it does in the States. Also, in the States, we have a 60-75% unemployment rate among blind people, depending on how you figure the stats. We know that we have many blind people who have not had the opportunities to learn independence, self-sufficiency, and the skill set that makes them empowered in this world. Given all that, I would like to explain to Ram that I understand his/her need for the KNFB Reader, but that we can't give it to him/her and that it is not a good idea to ask. I would also like to explain that I feel very sad that Ram and many of us, blind and sighted, don't have what we need in this world. I send compassion and hope that Ram can find resources to get what is needed. I also hope that we as a list change our tone of responses. I hope the above is not out of line. I deeply appreciate this list and the info and help that you share. I have learned so much and have felt such a part of a supportive community. Please let's think about saying no in a more compassionate way.

Re: unable to purchase knfb reader due to lack of money somebody gift me please!
Ditto, Terrie!

Re: unable to purchase knfb reader due to lack of money somebody gift me please!
THANKS Terry for your post. I was taken back when I read the posts, especialally on a holiday such as Christmas. All of the religious holidays being celebrated during this time of year always express joy, harmony, and peace, whichever holiday one observes. I'm wondering where the old saying of Do on to others that you want others to do to you has gone. Thanks for listening and have a wonderful holiday season to all.

I went by memory from reading the review in AccessWorld from last year; that was a mistake. Also, this model is a newer model than the one they reviewed. I think the correct price is $39.95. The price I remembered was a sale price referenced in the AccessWorld article. I should have double checked the price with ScanJig before sending out my review. However, even if it is indeed $39.95, and it probably is, it is still well worth it. I am also sure there is a refund policy, which I will also check out and post corrected information as soon as I have it. If you are wondering how I could possibly have not known the price, it is because they sent me one to evaluate because I am the Training Center Director at a Commission for the Blind. The guy from StandScan also sent our agency a a couple free StandScans. The original model, and then the one out of the more improved material. Also, the Giraffe Reader was sold to me at half price. So, now that I have evaluated all three stands, if one can deal with the larger size of the ScanJig when transporting it, I still say it is hands-down the best stand and the most versatile. Sorry for the confusion, but once I hear from the ScanJig folks, I will post corrected information. But, it does look like the regular price will be $39.95.

I got the ScanJig at work Monday. I used KNFB Reader to scan the setup instructions, free-hand, and was able to figure out the pieces and put it together. I enjoy puzzles, so it was fun putting it together. It didn't take more than about 5 or 10 minutes to figure it out without sighted help. There are pictures of the pieces, so a sighted person could probably do it in 2. The ScanJig costs $30.00. It is made from hard plastic. It is a bit thicker than the other stands but it looks way more durable. It folds up into a box 13 by 9 and 1.5 inches thick. The beauty of the ScanJig is that it can hold anything from a smart phone to a tablet. It holds both the document and the device at an angle so there is less likelihood of casting a shadow over the document and it can capture the maximum of the room light or use the flash. There are no lights needed on the device itself. There is a movable Device Holder that snaps into one of four slots at various distances from the Document Shelf. On the Device Holder, is a little shelf that snaps in to hold the phone or tablet. There are 10 adjustment holes so you can get the optimum height of the device pointing at the document. I found with both the iPhone 5s and the 6, that the first slot, which is 11.5 inches from the document was the best position. I also found that if I put the shelf on the device holder in the second hole from the top, I can get the entire document even if it has narrow margins. There are some stick on pieces to help hold your device in place once you get the position where you want it. There are also two clips that can hold a document on the document shelf, for example, a tri-fold letter that wants to curl, you can clip it in place so it holds it

RE: unable to purchase knfb reader due to lack of money somebody gift me please!
Hi Terrie, Beautifully said and if you hadn't done so I was going to do so myself, now I will just support you and add a few thoughts. I agree that asking for this is not OK, but being married to a Filipina and having travelled to several east Asian third-world countries I have seen what not having anything means. Some of the blind folk on here who don't have work and are on a very tight budget may think they are not so well off, but I can assure them that their situation is nothing compared to that of half the population of the planet. I know it doesn't mean anything to make these comparisons, but given the several very ungraceful replies I thought maybe a reminder of how good we have it living in free countries like the US, Canada, England and so on. Given it's Christmas today I really wonder about the sarcasm in many of these messages and it was probably expressed by people (at least some of them) who may consider themselves Christians.

Re: unable to purchase knfb reader due to lack of money somebody gift me please!
Hello, all. I have been reading the responses and trying to formulate my own. I think that not only do we need to step out of our North American mind set but also please remember that upon first glance, that request might look suspicious. It is of utmost importance to think before we answer harshly. I think it is essential for people to step back and think how well we have it and I’ve known this for years. I used to belong to a pen pal magazine when I was a teenager and I got requests from developing countries asking for watches, paper, all manner of things which I used to detest because, in my ignorance, I did not have a clue about these nations nor their access to things we take for granted. I received a valuable lesson not to criticize others for asking for things as long as we know it’s done with upright intentions, not a scam.

I agree that asking for this is not OK, but being married to a Filipina and having travelled to several east Asian third-world countries I have seen what not having anything means. Some of the blind folk on here who don't have work and are on a very tight budget may think they are not so well off, but I can assure them that their situation is nothing compared to that of half the population of the planet. I know it doesn't mean anything to make these comparisons, but given the several very ungraceful replies I thought maybe a reminder of how good we have it living in free countries like the US, Canada, England and so on. Given it's Christmas today I really wonder about the sarcasm in many of these messages and it was probably expressed by people (at least some of them) who may consider themselves Christians. If you do call yourself that and if you have replied to that, maybe you need to examine your values.

Hello everyone, I am not a moderator and I apologize if I am stepping over a line, but I don't think I am, and I need to share this. We have had some fairly harsh things to say about ram's request. I totally agree that it is not OK to ask for a gift like the KNFB Reader from this list. However, let's step outside of our own United States shoes and into someone else's for a moment. From the name and the English usage, I am guessing that Ram may not be a native English speaker and may be from another country and another culture where asking for gifts from strangers may not have the bad connotations that it does in the States. Also, in the States, we have a 60-75% unemployment rate among blind people, depending on how you figure the stats. We know that we have many blind people who have not had the opportunities to learn independence, self-sufficiency, and the skill set that makes them empowered in this world. Given all that, I would like to explain to Ram that I understand his/her need for the KNFB Reader, but that we can't give it to him/her and that it is not a good idea to ask. I would also like to explain that I feel very sad that Ram and many of us, blind and sighted, don't have what we need in this world. I send compassion and hope that Ram can find resources to get what is needed. I also hope that we as a list change our tone of responses. I hope the above is not out of line. I deeply appreciate this list and the info and help that you share. I have learned so much and have felt such a part of a supportive community.

We can't control who joins the list, and we can't control what posts make it to the list. Obviously, there needs to be some guidelines on what is and isn't appropriate to post to the list, but we also need to respond responsibly to the posts we do see on the list. We need to have a bit of a thick skin sometimes, realize not everyone speaks our language or lives in our culture and just use the delete key from time to time. I don't follow this list to see people ask for something, but I'd rather see that one message, hit my delete key than see all of the unnecessary responses to that one post. I'd suggest using the delete key and let the moderator deal with the original post.

Me, too. But it always seems to go that way. If you have a radio that needs to be hooked to an antenna, and you can't for the life of you, find the antenna, go and buy one. When you get the radio hooked up and working as it should, you'll find the original antenna in an obvious place. It's one of Murphy's laws. (grin) --- Be positive!

Well said Terrie. My understanding is that this is a support group, yes for all things related to i'devices but a support group. Sarcasm amounts to bullying and in my opinion doesn't belong here. We're all capable of making rash and unfair judgements so reading back what one has written before pressing the send button is quite useful. Maybe consider how you might feel if you had a post you are about to send directed at you.

We have had some fairly harsh things to say about ram's request. I totally agree that it is not OK to ask for a gift like the KNFB Reader from this list. However, let's step outside of our own United States shoes and into someone else's for a moment. From the name and the English usage, I am guessing that Ram may not be a native English speaker and may be from another country and another culture where asking for gifts from strangers may not have the bad connotations that it does in the States. Also, in the States, we have a 60-75% unemployment rate among blind people, depending on how you figure the stats. We know that we have many blind people who have not had the opportunities to learn independence, self-sufficiency, and the skill set that makes them empowered in this world. Given all that, I would like to explain to Ram that I understand his/her need for the KNFB Reader, but that we can't give it to him/her and that it is not a good idea to ask. I would also like to explain that I feel very sad that Ram and many of us, blind and sighted, don't have what we need in this world. I send compassion and hope that Ram can find resources to get what is needed. I also hope that we as a list change our tone of responses. I hope the above is not out of line. I deeply appreciate this list and the info and help that you share. I have learned so much and have felt such a part of a supportive community.

Re: the beauty of the iPhone
Well, I've used iOS for years now, and some applications really are beautiful in their operation. The hangouts app, the messages app, and stuff like that. the money reader is another app that just blows me away when I use it. Some apps are rather annoying, like mud-rammer which barely works for me, and apps like google docs for making documents is okay I guess, but Pages is better for me. As a sidenote, does anyone know if pages, with a bluetooth keyboard, allows for italics and such? I just got a program for the mac that makes the mac keyboard like a bluetooth keyboard. Anyways, I also love all the things you can do with voiceover, like labeling elements, and the Alex voice I'll promptly download when I get the iPhone 6. Also, if anyone has any tips for using the cellular functions of the iPhone I'd be glad to hear them offlist, like the best procedures for making calls, setting up voicemail, and any differences of setting up an iPhone as to setting up an iPod.

I went by memory from reading the review in AccessWorld from last year; that was a mistake. Also, this model is a newer model than the one they reviewed. I think the correct price is $39.95. The price I remembered was a sale price referenced in the AccessWorld article. I should have double checked the price with ScanJig before sending out my review. However, even if it is indeed $39.95, and it probably is, it is still well worth it. I am also sure there is a refund policy, which I will also check out and post corrected information as soon as I have it. If you are wondering how I could possibly have not known the price, it is because they sent me one to evaluate because I am the Training Center Director at a Commission for the Blind. The guy from StandScan also sent our agency a a couple free StandScans. The original model, and then the one out of the more improved material. Also, the Giraffe Reader was sold to me at half price. So, now that I have evaluated all three stands, if one can deal with the larger size of the ScanJig when transporting it, I still say it is hands-down the best stand and the most versatile. Sorry for the confusion, but once I hear from the ScanJig folks, I will post corrected information. But, it does look like the regular price will be $39.95.

I got the ScanJig at work Monday. I used KNFB Reader to scan the setup instructions, free-hand, and was able to figure out the pieces and put it together. I enjoy puzzles, so it was fun putting it together. It didn't take more than about 5 or 10 minutes to figure it out without sighted help. There are pictures of the pieces, so a sighted person could probably do it in 2. The ScanJig costs $30.00. It is made from hard plastic. It is a bit thicker than the other stands but it looks way more durable. It folds up into a box 13 by 9 and 1.5 inches thick. The beauty of the ScanJig is that it can hold anything from a smart phone to a tablet. It holds both the document and the device at an angle so there is less likelihood of casting a shadow over the document and it can capture the maximum of the room light or use the flash. There are no lights needed on the device itself. There is a movable Device Holder that snaps into one of four slots at various distances from the Document Shelf.

Re: Voice Dream App Default Voice
That's talking about the iOS voices, the ones VoiceOver uses for all its different languages (Karen, Samantha, Daniel, and others). In iOS7 and later, these voices can be selected for use in Voice Dream, letting people read with them but not read with VoiceOver itself, so your file can be read in the background. All newer versions of iOS will offer this capability; the only caveat is that the Alex voice in iOS8 cannot currently be selected for use in VDR.

I agree that asking for this is not OK, but being married to a Filipina and having travelled to several east Asian third-world countries I have seen what not having anything means. Some of the blind folk on here who don't have work and are on a very tight budget may think they are not so well off, but I can assure them that their situation is nothing compared to that of half the population of the planet. I know it doesn't mean anything to make these comparisons, but given the several very ungraceful replies I thought maybe a reminder of how good we have it living in free countries like the US, Canada, England and so on.

Hello everyone, I am not a moderator and I apologize if I am stepping over a line, but I don't think I am, and I need to share this. We have had some fairly harsh things to say about ram's request. I totally agree that it is not OK to ask for a gift like the KNFB Reader from this list. However, let's step outside of our own United States shoes and into someone else's for a moment. From the name and the English usage, I am guessing that Ram may not be a native English speaker and may be from another country and another culture where asking for gifts from strangers may not have the bad connotations that it does in the States. Also, in the States, we have a 60-75% unemployment rate among blind people, depending on how you figure the stats. We know that we have many blind people who have not had the opportunities to learn independence, self-sufficiency, and the skill set that makes them empowered in this world. Given all that, I would like to explain to Ram that I understand his/her need for the KNFB Reader, but that we can't give it to him/her and that it is not a good idea to ask. I would also like to explain that I feel very sad that Ram and many of us, blind and sighted, don't have what we need in this world. I send compassion and hope that Ram can find resources to get what is needed. I also hope that we as a list change our tone of responses. I hope the above is not out of line. I deeply appreciate this list and the info and help that you share. I have learned so much and have felt such a part of a supportive community.

Re: Voice Dream App Default Voice
Michelle, Yes, the default free Voice Dream Reader voice is Acapela Heather as Alex stated in his original reply.

I could understand a starving person asking total strangers for food, but I would never ask an entire group in an effort to find someone to buy or give me an app. Food would be for survival, but an app certainly is not. They are in no way similar. When I read the request, I noticed that it was very poorly written, and it was an absolute turn off to me. This has nothing at all to do with Christianity, either. There are just some things that you do not do on a list like this, and this request is probably at the very top of that list, or near it.

Hi Jed, As I said in my voicemail, what probably has happened, is you turned QuickNav off with the press of the left and right arrows together for typing.

Hi again, To those who have written about the inappropriateness of Ram's request, I think that we all agree that the request is inappropriate and that we should not give money to someone that we don't know who asks by email. My point earlier was that we might be kinder in how we respond.

Well said Terrie. My understanding is that this is a support group, yes for all things related to i'devices but a support group. Sarcasm amounts to bullying and in my opinion doesn't belong here. We're all capable of making rash and unfair judgements so reading back what one has written before pressing the send button is quite useful.

We have had some fairly harsh things to say about ram's request. I totally agree that it is not OK to ask for a gift like the KNFB Reader from this list. However, let's step outside of our own United States shoes and into someone else's for a moment. From the name and the English usage, I am guessing that Ram may not be a native English speaker and may be from another country and another culture where asking for gifts from strangers may not have the bad connotations that it does in the States. Also, in the States, we have a 60-75% unemployment rate among blind people, depending on how you figure the stats. We know that we have many blind people who have not had the opportunities to learn independence, self-sufficiency, and the skill set that makes them empowered in this world. Given all that, I would like to explain to Ram that I understand his/her need for the KNFB Reader, but that we can't give it to him/her and that it is not a good idea to ask. I would also like to explain that I feel very sad that Ram and many of us, blind and sighted, don't have what we need in this world. I send compassion and hope that Ram can find resources to get what is needed. I also hope that we as a list change our tone of responses. I hope the above is not out of line. I deeply appreciate this list and the info and help that you share. I have learned so much and have felt such a part of a supportive community.

RE: The ScanJig
Ok, ordered and going to give it a try. Was very easy to order on the site all fields read great. From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2014 1:01 PM To: ViPone list Subject: The ScanJig OK, I now have seen what I consider the Cadillac of stands. I got the ScanJig at work Monday. I used KNFB Reader to scan the setup instructions, free-hand, and was able to figure out the pieces and put it together. I enjoy puzzles, so it was fun putting it together. It didn't take more than about 5 or 10 minutes to figure it out without sighted help. There are pictures of the pieces, so a sighted person could probably do it in 2. The ScanJig costs $30.00. It is made from hard plastic. It is a bit thicker than the other stands but it looks way more durable. It folds up into a box 13 by 9 and 1.5 inches thick. The beauty of the ScanJig is that it can hold anything from a smart phone to a tablet. It holds both the document and the device at an angle so there is less likelihood of casting a shadow over the document and it can capture the maximum of the room light or use the flash. There are no lights needed on the device itself. There is a movable Device Holder that snaps into one of four slots at various distances from the Document Shelf. On the Device Holder, is a little shelf that snaps in to hold the phone or tablet. There are 10 adjustment holes so you can get the optimum height of the device pointing at the document. I found with both the iPhone 5s and the 6, that the first slot, which is 11.5 inches from the document was the best position. I also found that if I put the shelf on the device holder in the second hole from the top, I can get the entire document even if it has narrow margins. There are some stick on pieces to help hold your device in place once you get the position where you want it. There are also two clips that can hold a document on the document shelf, for example, a tri-fold letter that wants to curl, you can clip it in place so it holds it steady. It is definitely more bulky when folded up than either the Giraffe Reader or the StandScan, but the fact that it will also hold a tablet from a full iPad to an iPad Mini or any smart phone I think gives it a big edge. Not to mention it is made out of much stronger material and at a great price. I'm going to paste the setup instructions below and also the link to their web site. www.scanjig.com Note: I added the focal distances to the setup instructions below. ScanJig Set-up Instructions Product Description: The ScanJig is designed for easy tactile positioning of both a smart device and documents for correct focus, alignment and field of view. Once set up - the stand holds smart phones or tablets in a vertical portrait orientation and at an angle where the device's touch screen interface is facing the user. The stand can also hold a document, in the same vertical portrait orientation, and angle, directly behind the smart phone or tablet. The device holder can be adjusted to position your device's rear lens to point directly at the center of the document. Once the device is positioned in the optimum location, stops can be applied to lock in this position. Then your phone or tablet can easily be placed in the same spot for each use. The product's open design takes advantage of ambient light and helps avoid shadows. Further the device flash is completely unobstructed if this feature is needed. What is stored inside the ScanJig * 1 - Smart Device Holder and Device Shelf - the device will sit on the shelf. * 2 - Document Clips - to better hold creased documents or small items. * 4 - Peal and Stick Device Stops - after your mobile device is positioned the stops help hold it in place and provide an easy way to quickly use the same position again. * 2 - Thin peal and stick spacers - if needed, these can be placed under your device for fine adjustment. Initial Set-Up 1 Lift up on the latch at the front end of the ScanJig and open the cover all the way until it stops. The inside of the cover is the Document Bed with a shelf on the bottom and a fence on the right. Place a document on the shelf and against the fence. 2 Positioning your device camera for a full screen view of the document. This initial set-up is done once, the optimum device position is then preserved by applying the peal and stick stops for subsequent uses. Reach inside the ScanJig tray and lift the Device Holder up and out of the storage clips. Slide the Device Holder into one of the four slots near the front of the ScanJig tray. The bottom of the Device Holder snaps into the two anchor clips located at the bottom of each set of slots in the tray.

Re: Selecting Text
Hi, if you're not using a Bluetooth keyboard, dan the gesture is kind of freaky but to select a lot of text you put two fingers together you'll spread them apart and put them together until you have all the text that you want to select, if you're selecting on a keyboard you will do shift down arrow.

Re: unable to purchase knfb reader due to lack of money somebody gift me please!
I think that this matter would be best dealt with by a moderator. So far I've seen nothing but bashers and flamers flaming this person, and while whether his request was appropriate on this list or not, I am sad to say that the bashers and flamers will not be dealt with at all, and that is very sad indeed. This is Christmas, for those who celebrate it, yet people are giving this person all kinds of grief for posting something that may or may not have been appropriate. None of us lowly list members have the power to say, unequivocally whether this person's post was appropriate or not, so I think this thread should end until the moderators get back and handle it. Either way, I believe it's a shame to have to come to my e-mail, and see nothing but hatred being spewed on a list that is there for the sole purpose of helping others out.

I should have also mentioned that it states in the rules that if you don't like a post from another member, there should be no flaming or bashing on list, simply contact the moderators and they will handle it, so, technically speaking, all the bashers, and, I'm sorry to say, all the messages of support to this person, however well meaning, have been breaking the rules, so, even if you don't like my last post, I think you better think twice about sending a nasty reply to this one.

We're all capable of making rash and unfair judgements so reading back what one has written before pressing the send button is quite useful.

When I first heard about this app, I had to save for two months to be able to afford it. Everyone is in different circumstances, some better than others, and it was tough seeing others who were just able to plop down $100 like that, but I had to be patient. I think it’s beneath our dignity as blind people to beg for anything, no matter the culture. An app is not a need; it’s a want. It’s a luxury. It’s a great thing to have that makes life easier, but we went for a long time without it. It’s better to be financially responsible and save what you need until you have enough. Just my $0.02.

Hello everyone, I am not a moderator and I apologize if I am stepping over a line, but I don't think I am, and I need to share this. We have had some fairly harsh things to say about ram's request. I totally agree that it is not OK to ask for a gift like the KNFB Reader from this list. However, let's step outside of our own United States shoes and into someone else's for a moment.

We know that we have many blind people who have not had the opportunities to learn independence, self-sufficiency, and the skill set that makes them empowered in this world. Given all that, I would like to explain to Ram that I understand his/her need for the KNFB Reader, but that we can't give it to him/her and that it is not a good idea to ask. I would also like to explain that I feel very sad that Ram and many of us, blind and sighted, don't have what we need in this world.

You can also control the chunks of text that are selected as you spread your fingers apart by using the roter to set it to characters, words or lines.

Any thoughts on better GPS app for learning a new neighborhood stores Blind Square or Seeing Eye?
I am getting ready to move to a new neighborhood and will be having someone help me get familiar with all the stores in the neighborhood. I have used Blind Square GPS for years and really do like it. It’s not perfect, but I figure it is the best thing out there for us. I do find at times the accuracy is off, and was thinking about labeling a bunch of stores that would be useful to me when walking around. I have never used Seeing Eye GPS and do not have it but wads thinking about getting it for a month to see how I like it, as I thought the information the app provides about intersections would be quite beneficial. Has anyone used both of these apps and any thoughts about which is the better one for making a note of different stores in a neighborhood, and how accurate in terms of feet the app is? Any thoughts is appreciated. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

From: viphone@googlegroups.commailto:viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2014 1:01 PM To: ViPone list Subject: The ScanJig OK, I now have seen what I consider the Cadillac of stands. I got the ScanJig at work Monday. I used KNFB Reader to scan the setup instructions, free-hand, and was able to figure out the pieces and put it together. I enjoy puzzles, so it was fun putting it together. It didn't take more than about 5 or 10 minutes to figure it out without sighted help. There are pictures of the pieces, so a sighted person could probably do it in 2. The ScanJig costs $30.00. It is made from hard plastic. It is a bit thicker than the other stands but it looks way more durable. It folds up into a box 13 by 9 and 1.5 inches thick. The beauty of the ScanJig is that it can hold anything from a smart phone to a tablet. It holds both the document and the device at an angle so there is less likelihood of casting a shadow over the document and it can capture the maximum of the room light or use the flash. There are no lights needed on the device itself. There is a movable Device Holder that snaps into one of four slots at various distances from the Document Shelf. On the Device Holder, is a little shelf that snaps in to hold the phone or tablet. There are 10 adjustment holes so you can get the optimum height of the device pointing at the document. I found with both the iPhone 5s and the 6, that the first slot, which is 11.5 inches from the document was the best position. I also found that if I put the shelf on the device holder in the second hole from the top, I can get the entire document even if it has narrow margins. There are some stick on pieces to help hold your device in place once you get the position where you want it. There are also two clips that can hold a document on the document shelf, for example, a tri-fold letter that wants to curl, you can clip it in place so it holds it steady. It is definitely more bulky when folded up than either the Giraffe Reader or the StandScan, but the fact that it will also hold a tablet from a full iPad to an iPad Mini or any smart phone I think gives it a big edge. Not to mention it is made out of much stronger material and at a great price. I'm going to paste the setup instructions below and also the link to their web site. www.scanjig.comhttp://www.scanjig.com Note: I added the focal distances to the setup instructions below. ScanJig Set-up Instructions Product Description: The ScanJig is designed for easy tactile positioning of both a smart device and documents for correct focus, alignment and field of view. Once set up - the stand holds smart phones or tablets in a vertical portrait orientation and at an angle where the device's touch screen interface is facing the user. The stand can also hold a document, in the same vertical portrait orientation, and angle, directly behind the smart phone or tablet. The device holder can be adjusted to position your device's rear lens to point directly at the center of the document. Once the device is positioned in the optimum location, stops can be applied to lock in this position. Then your phone or tablet can easily be placed in the same spot for each use. The product's open design takes advantage of ambient light and helps avoid shadows. Further the device flash is completely unobstructed if this feature is needed. What is stored inside the ScanJig * 1 - Smart Device Holder and Device Shelf - the device will sit on the shelf. * 2 - Document Clips - to better hold creased documents or small items. * 4 - Peal and Stick Device Stops - after your mobile device is positioned the stops help hold it in place and provide an easy way to quickly use the same position again. * 2 - Thin peal and stick spacers - if needed, these can be placed under your device for fine adjustment. Initial Set-Up 1 Lift up on the latch at the front end of the ScanJig and open the cover all the way until it stops. The inside of the cover is the Document Bed with a shelf on the bottom and a fence on the right. Place a document on the shelf and against the fence. 2 Positioning your device camera for a full screen view of the document. This initial set-up is done once, the optimum device position is then preserved by applying the peal and stick stops for subsequent uses.

When I first heard about this app, I had to save for two months to be able to afford it. Everyone is in different circumstances, some better than others, and it was tough seeing others who were just able to plop down $100 like that, but I had to be patient. I think it’s beneath our dignity as blind people to beg for anything, no matter the culture. An app is not a need; it’s a want. It’s a luxury. It’s a great thing to have that makes life easier, but we went for a long time without it. It’s better to be financially responsible and save what you need until you have enough. Just my $0.02.

new bluetooth speaker
Hi all, This morning my fiance got me a Syren bluetooth speaker for my iPhone 5. This bluetooth speaker is portable and you can carry it or hold it with one hand. But what I like about this bluetooth speaker it's very light weight and very portable to take with me anywhere and I can put it in my purse. It has a on and off button,volumes up and down, and the middle button is a all purpose button that has the features of a play/puls so I can listen to music. Plus on this middle button that is a all purpose button it also has the feature to answer phone calls. It was very easy to pair with my iPhone which I already did. The Syren bluetooth speaker sounds really good and it has a very good distance raidious to the speaker. I have a bluetooth headphone which I love to use but my bluetooth headphones are ones that go over my ears when wearing them. And I have used my bluetooth head phones when out walking listening to music while whalking but when I came to a street crossing I would have to remove the head phones from my ears to be able to hear traffic and what was around me. Well now I can carry my portable bluetooth speaker in my purse and I can turn the volume up a little bit so when I'm walking I can still listen to music or answer a call if it comes in and still listen to the traffic and my surroundings and be able to cross a street safely. I'm really impressed with this Syren portable blutetooth speaker . Take care. Lori and the Gipper -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Hello everyone, I am not a moderator and I apologize if I am stepping over a line, but I don't think I am, and I need to share this. We have had some fairly harsh things to say about ram's request. I totally agree that it is not OK to ask for a gift like the KNFB Reader from this list. However, let's step outside of our own United States shoes and into someone else's for a moment.

Also, in the States, we have a 60-75% unemployment rate among blind people, depending on how you figure the stats. We know that we have many blind people who have not had the opportunities to learn independence, self-sufficiency, and the skill set that makes them empowered in this world.

I would also like to explain that I feel very sad that Ram and many of us, blind and sighted, don't have what we need in this world.

Re: Period shortcut question
I've checked and the double-tap keyboard shortcut is on. I could not make it work with keybord using touch-typing. Any suggestions? I do following: 1. I find space and lift finger and quickly double-tap. An other method I tried before ios 7 is to find space and put an other finger on screen to avoid it being inputed. Then I triple-tap which should be equivalent to double-tap for vo. No result. Thanks for any suggestions.

anybody found an effective dictionary
I haven't looked into this for a while, but when I did, I found that it was cumbersome at best to use foreign-language dictionaries, because every word in every definition was a hyperlink.
