Re: Best way to read notes to myself in chunks?

2015-06-02 Thread Christina C.
Well, I was quite interested in this list recorder app until I realized it 
hasn’t been updated since November of 2013. I know it’s only 99 cents in the 
United States for the basic version. I’d appreciate any info as to how well it 
still works. Also, I was quite disappointed to find that there does not seem to 
be any obvious drop box iCloud support. So, keeping it synced across devices 
does not appear to be an option.

 Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. The way iOS used to display text or RTF 
 files s what I was hoping for, but as one poster said, that appears to no 
 longer work the same. I suppose Voice Dream Writer could work, if I structure 
 things just right. I've heard of List Recorder before, but thought it was 
 only for audio; I'll see if the free version does well, and consider buying 
 the full one if it does. Thanks again.

 Alex,
  
 I think another great app for this sort of thing would be List Recorder and 
 you could choose either text, or audio or both for your notes. I don’t have 
 the app store link but just search for list recorder. I believe there still 
 is a free version of this so you could give it a try. The full version I 
 believe is $9.99 and worth every penny.

 I don't know why things changed, or exactly when, but it used to be that a 
 lot of apps that display rtf files would do exactly what you want. Somewhere 
 along the line, though, they started not working correctly. You can't flick 
 to anything, and everything appears as one big chunk of text. I'm not sure 
 why this happened, but I believe that some kind of change in iOS did this. 
 My only suggestion is to maybe give Voice Dream Writer a try.
  
  
 Thanks,

 Hi list,
 That's a terrible subject, and I'm afraid my question will be equally 
 confusing. I'm going to give it a try though, so stick with me. Here goes.
  
 I'm playing some music (I'm on bass) and I need to write down the set list, 
 keys and where they change, and notes to myself. For instance, I need to 
 remind myself that on this song I kick it off by sliding to a low F, or 
 there's a rest at the end of the third chorus where *everyone* is silent. I 
 also need the actual bass notes for some of them, but others I know well 
 enough that the key and any voicing/structure instructions are enough.
  
 I tried using a slate and stylus, but any change the director makes forces 
 me to rewrite the whole page, plus I can't fit things how I want to. I 
 don't have a real brailler, or access to an embosser, and even if I did, 
 we're back to the point about changes. My current plan is to write all this 
 information on my phone, so I can just select the next song and read 
 through my notes. Each song can't have just one big block of text, though, 
 and that's where, at long last, we arrive at my question.
  
 I want to be able to find the next song in my list, and open it. I want to 
 then see a list of individual notes, so I can swipe left or right to move 
 from note to note. For instance, a song opens up and the first item is 
 start by sliding to low F. Swiping right once reads the notes for the 
 intro, and another swipe the notes for the first verse, and so on. There's 
 too much to try to listen to everything at once, so I need to break it down 
 into smaller pieces I can look at one at a time, and can repeat if 
 necessary. For anyone wondering, no, I don't have a braille display.
  
 There's my question. Is there a way to write text, then have an app present 
 it in such a way that I can flick between paragraphs in that text, like how 
 a webpage works? I really hope I'm making some kind of sense; let me know 
 if I can clarify anything. Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone has.

Then swipe to the friend whos profile you want to view and then double tapp. 
then you should see there profile.

2015-06-02 Thread Chris Chaffin

As far as viewing your timeline or newsfeed in the order that things were 
posted:
You can go to the more tab at the bottom of the app, more is the last tab on 
the right, double tap it.
Flicking or swiping down from the top, you will come to a recent button.  
Double tap it.
Now you will find on the screen your current timeline or newsfeed, but this 
time it will be in order by time posted.

Hope this helps.

Chris

Subject: A Very Excellent Source for Free RingTones, Sounds, and Notifications

Hello Everyone,

Recently, I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S 6.  While it can never take the
place of my beloved iPhone 6 Plus, it is a very, very well-made and classy
device.

One thing I absolutely adore about all of the Galaxy products, especially on
the new S 6, is the number of native RingTones, sounds, and notifications
included with the devices.

A quick Google search will turn up many sites where the stock RingTones for
many popular Android Smartphones have been ripped and placed in a Zip file,
ready to be used by anyone.

The primary reason why these RingTones are made readily available is so that
those who wish to create what are known as custom ROMS can more closely
mirror the native manufacturers OS with regard to basic functionality.

Okay, okay; too much information, right?

The following is text that I posted to an Android list containing the link
to the RingTones, sounds and notifications for the S 6 which, you may use on
your iOS device.

Mark

Download The Samsung Galaxy S 6 and 6 Edge Stock RingTones, Sounds, and
Notifications

For a while now I've been using a text message alert on my iPhone 6 Plus
that I ripped from a Galaxy Note 2.

There are several ringtones and/or notifications on my Galaxy S 6 that I
want to use on my 6 Plus, as well.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that all the hard work had already
been done for me as the S 6 and 6 Edge stock sounds are available on The
Android Soul.com website.

All they ask is that one gives them credit for the Zip file when sharing the
link or when using the sounds in a custom ROM.

So, for those of you who want to sprinkle a little Galaxy seasoning into
your Apple sauce (or anything else for that matter), I offer the following
two links:

1.
The direct download link to the Zip file containing all of the stock sounds
for Samsung Galaxy S 6 and 6 Edge:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/downloads/file/S6Rings.zip

2.
The URL to the Android Soul.com site which contains the link listed above:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-ringtones-74737/

Please note that all of the files are in their original format said format
being .ogg

In order to be used in iOS as ringtones or notifications, assuming you do
not use iTunes in the conversion process, they will first have to be
converted to .m4a and then subsequently renamed to .m4r.

Enjoy,

Mark

 2.  Always when I am trying to look at my newsfeed, stuff appears out of 
 order, one post from 6 hours ago, one from 2, no order at all and no 
 understandable sequence, if 1 person posts 2 things, they are not even 
 together. Is that something that can be changed or reordered? Additionally, 
 the app seems quite unstable—I flick right to see the next story, and right 
 in the middle I hear “notifications” or “more” and I’m not even touching 
 the screen. Any ideas?
  
 3.  If I am trying to locate someone, do I have to tap their name and tap 
 it again once the second screen comes up? I’d like to find the text 
 information in their profile as quickly as possible to rule out whether the 
 person I’m looking for is the person mentioned or not.
  
 4.  What does checkin do?
  
 5.  Finally, does “message friends” send private messages that do not 
 appear on someone’s timeline?
  
 Thank you.

You can send List Recorder files to Dropbox. Just click on “Open in,” and 
DropBox is one of your choices.

Well, I was quite interested in this list recorder app until I realized it 
hasn’t been updated since November of 2013. I know it’s only 99 cents in the 
United States for the basic version. I’d appreciate any info as to how well it 
still works. Also, I was quite disappointed to find that there does not seem to 
be any obvious drop box iCloud support. So, keeping it synced across devices 
does not appear to be an option.

Alex,

 

I think another great app for this sort of thing would be List Recorder and you 
could choose either text, or audio or both for your notes. I don’t have the app 
store link but just search for list recorder. I believe there still is a free 
version of this so you could give it a try. The full version I believe is $9.99 
and worth every penny.

I don't know why things changed, or exactly when, but it used to be that a lot 
of apps that display rtf files would do exactly what you want. Somewhere along 
the line, though, they started not working correctly. You can't flick to 
anything, and everything appears as one big chunk of text. I'm not sure why 
this happened, but I believe that some kind of change in iOS did this. My only 
suggestion is to maybe give Voice Dream Writer a try.

Hi list,

That's a terrible subject, and I'm afraid my question will be equally 
confusing. I'm going to give it a try though, so stick with me. Here goes.

 

I'm playing some music (I'm on bass) and I need to write down the set list, 
keys and where they change, and notes to myself. For instance, I need to remind 
myself that on this song I kick it off by sliding to a low F, or there's a rest 
at the end of the third chorus where *everyone* is silent. I also need the 
actual bass notes for some of them, but others I know well enough that the key 
and any voicing/structure instructions are enough.

 

I tried using a slate and stylus, but any change the director makes forces me 
to rewrite the whole page, plus I can't fit things how I want to. I don't have 
a real brailler, or access to an embosser, and even if I did, we're back to the 
point about changes. My current plan is to write all this information on my 
phone, so I can just select the next song and read through my notes. Each song 
can't have just one big block of text, though, and that's where, at long last, 
we arrive at my question.

 

I want to be able to find the next song in my list, and open it. I want to then 
see a list of individual notes, so I can swipe left or right to move from note 
to note. For instance, a song opens up and the first item is start by sliding 
to low F. Swiping right once reads the notes for the intro, and another swipe 
the notes for the first verse, and so on. There's too much to try to listen to 
everything at once, so I need to break it down into smaller pieces I can look 
at one at a time, and can repeat if necessary. For anyone wondering, no, I 
don't have a braille display.

 

There's my question. Is there a way to write text, then have an app present it 
in such a way that I can flick between paragraphs in that text, like how a 
webpage works? I really hope I'm making some kind of sense; let me know if I 
can clarify anything. Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone has.

I think if you “like” certain items in your news feed then you will see more

Hi  no there is no difference between the what's on your mind and the 
status button. 
The message friends button does send private messages. 
The check in button allows you to check in to a place such as a restaurant 
or grocery store. 
It basically allows your friends  to know wheir you are.

Re: Pop 3 Email On An Iphone

2015-06-02 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I'd be shocked if POP3 doesn't work at all or even doesn't work very 
well on an IOS device. POP3 was the default for Gmail on IOS devices not 
too long ago. POP3 is a very established and stable protocol that Apple 
has supported for a very long time. I suspect you're running into some 
opinions that think IMAP is the only way to go and feel there's no 
reason to ever use POP3.


I'd assume that POP3 and IMAP are equally well supported on IOS, so I 
think you're asking about the difference between POP3 and IMAP in 
general. A Google search will turn up a lot of information. Here's a 
good site which explains the difference and even gives some reasons why 
someone might want to still use POP3 over IMAP 
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2838189/two-good-reasons-to-stick-with-pop3-email-

over-imap.html

The big advantage to IMAP is that all of your email is always stored on 
a central server. This way all of your email looks the same no matter 
what device you use. If you delete a message or move it into a folder 
then you're doing this on the server and all of your clients will be 
synced to this server. IMAP is good if you're accessing your email from 
multiple devices or multiple clients.


POP3 either leaves all of your email on the server and just downloads 
copies for you to work with or downloads your email to a client and 
removes it from the server. POP3 can be faster than IMAP. It's also good 
if you don't trust cloud services or trust your email provider with your 
email on their servers. POP3 is good if you have a central system where 
you're downloading and keeping all of your email and your just checking 
and reading your new email from other clients.

Any of you who own a watch can you please let me know either way. And also

red spotted hanky app and railcard issue?

2015-06-02 Thread goshawk on horseback
hello all, 
is anyone else having a problem with the red spotted hanky app, where you now 
can't tell it that you have a railcard? 
I have been using this app to get train tickets for some time, but over the 
last few weeks, it seems to have developed an issue, where even though before, 
it would recognize that I use a disabled adult railcard as standard, it now 
doesn't, and I can't seem to tell it that I do still have the railcard. as it 
now won't recognize that I do still use the disabled railcard, this means that 
it doesn't come up with the discounted prices that it should. 
has anyone else had this issue, and more to the point, has anyone found a way 
to fix it. 
I called red spotted hanky customer services about this issue with the app, but 
found them as useless as the proverbial chocolate teapot.

Subject: A Very Excellent Source for Free RingTones, Sounds, and Notifications

Hello Everyone,

Recently, I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S 6.  While it can never take the place 
of my beloved iPhone 6 Plus, it is a very, very well-made and classy device.  

One thing I absolutely adore about all of the Galaxy products, especially on 
the new S 6, is the number of native RingTones, sounds, and notifications 
included with the devices.

A quick Google search will turn up many sites where the stock RingTones for 
many popular Android Smartphones have been ripped and placed in a Zip file, 
ready to be used by anyone.

The primary reason why these RingTones are made readily available is so that 
those who wish to create what are known as custom ROMS can more closely mirror 
the native manufacturers OS with regard to basic functionality.  

Okay, okay; too much information, right?  

The following is text that I posted to an Android list containing the link to 
the RingTones, sounds and notifications for the S 6 which, you may use on your 
iOS device.

Mark

Download The Samsung Galaxy S 6 and 6 Edge Stock RingTones, Sounds, and 
Notifications

For a while now I've been using a text message alert on my iPhone 6 Plus that I 
ripped from a Galaxy Note 2.

There are several ringtones and/or notifications on my Galaxy S 6 that I want 
to use on my 6 Plus, as well.  

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that all the hard work had already been 
done for me as the S 6 and 6 Edge stock sounds are available on The Android 
Soul.com website.  

All they ask is that one gives them credit for the Zip file when sharing the 
link or when using the sounds in a custom ROM.

So, for those of you who want to sprinkle a little Galaxy seasoning into your 
Apple sauce (or anything else for that matter), I offer the following two links:

1.
The direct download link to the Zip file containing all of the stock sounds for 
Samsung Galaxy S 6 and 6 Edge:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/downloads/file/S6Rings.zip

2.
The URL to the Android Soul.com site which contains the link listed above:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-ringtones-74737/

Please note that all of the files are in their original format said format 
being .ogg 

In order to be used in iOS as ringtones or notifications, assuming you do not 
use iTunes in the conversion process, they will first have to be converted to 
.m4a and then subsequently renamed to .m4r.

Enjoy,

Mark

Re: A Very Excellent Source for Free RingTones, Sounds, and Notifications

2015-06-02 Thread Jed Barton
OK, now i'm really stumped.  Thank you for putting this file up.  I 
downloaded it, and placed 2 of the files in my itunes folder called 
tones.  Sadly, it doesn't appear on my phone.  I plugged the phone in, 
and let it sink, it gave me the notification sound.  When i went to 
sounds, none of them were there. Any ideas?

For those who don't have the ability to convert these files, I used GoldWave's 
batch conversion mode  and converted them all to m4a, then renamed them to m4r, 
zipped them up and put the zip file on my dropbox.
Here is the link.

Subject: A Very Excellent Source for Free RingTones, Sounds, and Notifications

Hello Everyone,

Recently, I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S 6.  While it can never take the place 
of my beloved iPhone 6 Plus, it is a very, very well-made and classy device.

One thing I absolutely adore about all of the Galaxy products, especially on 
the new S 6, is the number of native RingTones, sounds, and notifications 
included with the devices.

A quick Google search will turn up many sites where the stock RingTones for 
many popular Android Smartphones have been ripped and placed in a Zip file, 
ready to be used by anyone.

The primary reason why these RingTones are made readily available is so that 
those who wish to create what are known as custom ROMS can more closely mirror 
the native manufacturers OS with regard to basic functionality.

Okay, okay; too much information, right?

The following is text that I posted to an Android list containing the link to 
the RingTones, sounds and notifications for the S 6 which, you may use on your 
iOS device.

Download The Samsung Galaxy S 6 and 6 Edge Stock RingTones, Sounds, and 
Notifications

For a while now I've been using a text message alert on my iPhone 6 Plus that I 
ripped from a Galaxy Note 2.

There are several ringtones and/or notifications on my Galaxy S 6 that I want 
to use on my 6 Plus, as well.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that all the hard work had already been 
done for me as the S 6 and 6 Edge stock sounds are available on The Android 
Soul.com website.

All they ask is that one gives them credit for the Zip file when sharing the 
link or when using the sounds in a custom ROM.

So, for those of you who want to sprinkle a little Galaxy seasoning into your 
Apple sauce (or anything else for that matter), I offer the following two links:

1.
The direct download link to the Zip file containing all of the stock sounds for 
Samsung Galaxy S 6 and 6 Edge:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/downloads/file/S6Rings.zip

2.
The URL to the Android Soul.com site which contains the link listed above:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-ringtones-74737/

Please note that all of the files are in their original format said format 
being .ogg

In order to be used in iOS as ringtones or notifications, assuming you do not 
use iTunes in the conversion process, they will first have to be converted to 
.m4a and then subsequently renamed to .m4r.

Enjoy,

Mark

Re: A Very Excellent Source for Free RingTones, Sounds, and Notifications

2015-06-02 Thread Alan Lemly
Jed, 

I'm not sure that copying files into the tones folder on your computer will 
cause them to be automatically added to your iTunes library where they have to 
be if you want to sync them to your phone. I seem to recall someone on this 
list saying that if you double tap on the files from within windows explorer 
that this will cause them to play and to be added to your iTunes library. I 
don't know if that's right but from within iTunes you should be able to select 
file and add folder to your library and navigate to your tones library to add 
all the files within it to iTunes. 

Good luck.

2015-06-02 Thread Chris Chaffin

By default Facebook remembers the peoples post that you like or comment on, and 
it will show more of the post from them.
I did notice that there were some people and pages that I never see post from, 
and I know that there has been post that I have missed.  I do not like Facebook 
choosing whose post they think I want to see!!
After looking around in the app, I noticed that there was a newsfeed 
preferences button on the more tab near the bottom of that screen.
If you double tap that, it will show you all of the people and pages you have, 
and if you are still following them.  I noticed that some of mine had been 
changed to follow, which means you are no longer following them.  After I went 
through all of mine, I noticed that I started getting all of my post again like 
I should.  So I would recommend checking out these preferences to make sure you 
are seeing the post you want.

HTH,

 I think this might have been a tip from Kim Komando but I am not sure.

 On the same topic, is there a way to view one specific newsfeed over another? 
 For example, if I see Mary's newsfeed then Joe then Susan but I want to see 
 more of Mary is there a way to do that? Hope that makes sense. Thanks in

 Then  swipe to friends and then double tapp.
 Then swipe to the friend whos profile you want to view and then double tapp.
 then you should see there profile.
 That is if that is what you are trying to do.
 Now as far as the statuses being hours apart like one status was posted 1 
 hour another was posted 6 hours I don't see a way to fix that at this time.

 Hi  no there is no difference between the what's on your mind and the 
 status button.
 The message friends button does send private messages.
 The check in button allows you to check in to a place such as a restaurant 
 or grocery store. 
 It basically allows your friends  to know wheir you are.

 All, I am fairly new to the facebook app and to FB in general—thus the 
 following questions that I put in 1 message rather than send multiple:
  
 1.  Is there any difference between where it says “status button” and 
 “what’s on your mind?”
  
 2.  Always when I am trying to look at my newsfeed, stuff appears out of 
 order, one post from 6 hours ago, one from 2, no order at all and no 
 understandable sequence, if 1 person posts 2 things, they are not even 
 together. Is that something that can be changed or reordered? 
 Additionally, the app seems quite unstable—I flick right to see the next 
 story, and right in the middle I hear “notifications” or “more” and I’m 
 not even touching the screen. Any ideas?
  
 3.  If I am trying to locate someone, do I have to tap their name and tap 
 it again once the second screen comes up? I’d like to find the text 
 information in their profile as quickly as possible to rule out whether 
 the person I’m looking for is the person mentioned or not.
  
 4.  What does checkin do?
  
 5.  Finally, does “message friends” send private messages that do not 
 appear on someone’s timeline?
  
 Thank you.

Subject: A Very Excellent Source for Free RingTones, Sounds, and Notifications

Hello Everyone,

Recently, I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S 6.  While it can never take the place 
of my beloved iPhone 6 Plus, it is a very, very well-made and classy device.  

One thing I absolutely adore about all of the Galaxy products, especially on 
the new S 6, is the number of native RingTones, sounds, and notifications 
included with the devices.

A quick Google search will turn up many sites where the stock RingTones for 
many popular Android Smartphones have been ripped and placed in a Zip file, 
ready to be used by anyone.

The primary reason why these RingTones are made readily available is so that 
those who wish to create what are known as custom ROMS can more closely mirror 
the native manufacturers OS with regard to basic functionality.  

Okay, okay; too much information, right?  

The following is text that I posted to an Android list containing the link to 
the RingTones, sounds and notifications for the S 6 which, you may use on your 
iOS device.

Mark

Download The Samsung Galaxy S 6 and 6 Edge Stock RingTones, Sounds, and 
Notifications

For a while now I've been using a text message alert on my iPhone 6 Plus that I 
ripped from a Galaxy Note 2.

There are several ringtones and/or notifications on my Galaxy S 6 that I want 
to use on my 6 Plus, as well.  

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that all the hard work had already been 
done for me as the S 6 and 6 Edge stock sounds are available on The Android 
Soul.com website.  

All they ask is that one gives them credit for the Zip file when sharing the 
link or when using the sounds in a custom ROM.

So, for those of you who want to sprinkle a little Galaxy seasoning into your 
Apple sauce (or anything else for that matter), I offer the following two links:

1.
The direct download link to the Zip file containing all of the stock sounds for 
Samsung Galaxy S 6 and 6 Edge:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/downloads/file/S6Rings.zip

2.
The URL to the Android Soul.com site which contains the link listed above:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-ringtones-74737/

Please note that all of the files are in their original format said format 
being .ogg 

In order to be used in iOS as ringtones or notifications, assuming you do not 
use iTunes in the conversion process, they will first have to be converted to 
.m4a and then subsequently renamed to .m4r.

Enjoy,

Mark

Re: spotify question

2015-06-02 Thread Brett

Hi Don, 

There are a few ways to do this, the easiest is to give the song a thumbs-up. 
This will put it in to a Liked from radio playlist. 

The next most common way would be to double tap the contex button beside the 
song and choose Add to playlist. Then choose the playlist you want to add the 
song too. 

Cheers, 
Brett.

zipped them up and put the zip file on my dropbox.
Here is the link.

Re: facebook ap questions

2015-06-02 Thread hebertisaac99
Hi  no there is no difference between the what's on your mind and the status 
button. 
The message friends button does send private messages. 
The check in button allows you to check in to a place such as a restaurant or 
grocery store. 
It basically allows your friends  to know wheir you are.

 All, I am fairly new to the facebook app and to FB in general—thus the 
 following questions that I put in 1 message rather than send multiple:
  
 1.  Is there any difference between where it says “status button” and “what’s 
 on your mind?”
  
 2.  Always when I am trying to look at my newsfeed, stuff appears out of 
 order, one post from 6 hours ago, one from 2, no order at all and no 
 understandable sequence, if 1 person posts 2 things, they are not even 
 together. Is that something that can be changed or reordered? Additionally, 
 the app seems quite unstable—I flick right to see the next story, and right 
 in the middle I hear “notifications” or “more” and I’m not even touching the 
 screen. Any ideas?
  
 3.  If I am trying to locate someone, do I have to tap their name and tap it 
 again once the second screen comes up? I’d like to find the text information 
 in their profile as quickly as possible to rule out whether the person I’m 
 looking for is the person mentioned or not.
  
 4.  What does checkin do?
  
 5.  Finally, does “message friends” send private messages that do not appear 
 on someone’s timeline?
  
 Thank you.

Maybe, but you did say we all have the right to comment on the price, 
and I'm just saying, although you have that right, that doesn't mean I 
care what you or anyone else thinks about the price of an app.


Besides, although your message was the last in the thread, I wasn't 
necessarily replying to you directly. If you read the thread, you will 
see that the comment is made that the app is overpriced.

Someone asked a question about it and unlike you I tried to contribute

informed choice.

Yes, the app developer has the right to set his own pricing, but once he
makes it public, we all have the right to comment on it. This also
occurs with mainstream apps, so are you saying that because this is a
blindness specific app, it should be treated differently.

Yes, I do have the KNFB app and find it worth the cost, as currently
there is nothing as accurate or especially as quick.

Hi *Brett,*

As you so well explained, people have choices.  If they want the
MBraille, it’s a choice and those who want it and can afford it do buy
it like you did.  Those of us who can’t afford it don’t buy it and
have free options.  That’s the best situation possible.  I don’t think
a developer has to work for very little just because some of us can’t
afford the product.  A person evaluates his/her product, decide how
much they want to charge for it and, those of us who want pay for it
and those of us who can’t afford it have choices.  I don’t believe in
stating that an app is over-priced.  It is what it is and we can buy
it or leave it.  The KNFB app is a lot more expensive and those of us
who wanted it paid for it and are using it.  Those of who couldn’t
afford it are using some of the very good free ones and that’s life.

I am one of these blind people who doesn’t think that people have to
work for us for nothing or almost nothing just because.  I do
understand that many of us are unemployed but that is not the
developpers problem, its ours to deal with.

*Subject:* RE: Pricing and so forth was Re: Bizarre issue re. mBraille
as a third-party keyboard

Hi,

Here is just my opinion.

I think the initial purchase of the app 33AUD was worth every cent, I
think the third-party keyboard is overpriced and taking the micky a
bit. Given that other third-party keyboards are free or under 2.50 and
there was no initial purchase price. The other third-party keyboards
include word prediction and spell checking in most cases, which
MBraille doesn’t.

There are three advantages with MBraille as a third-party keyboard:

1.You can do a one finger flick up to read what you have written. With
iOS Braille, you must dismiss the keyboard before you can read the
message. You then need to edit the message using the standard keyboard.

2.If when reading the message, you notice a mistake, you can navigate
to it and correct it still using the MBraille keyboard, as long as you
don’t have direct input enabled. I haven’t found a reason to enable
direct input yet.

3.When writing email addresses or web addresses with iOS Braille, I
have found when writing the dot com part, you need to braille the
period, do a space to enter the period, delete the space then write
the com bit. You don’t have to muck around like this with MBraille. If
someone knows of a way to do this with iOS braille, please let me know.

**

*Although these advantages are nice, you need to decide if its worth
the extra money over iOS Braille. I was curious and could afford it,
so I gave it a go to satisfy my curiosity. I don’t regret it, 

Re: Best way to read notes to myself in chunks?

2015-06-02 Thread Alex Hall
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. The way iOS used to display text or RTF 
files s what I was hoping for, but as one poster said, that appears to no 
longer work the same. I suppose Voice Dream Writer could work, if I structure 
things just right. I've heard of List Recorder before, but thought it was only 
for audio; I'll see if the free version does well, and consider buying the full 
one if it does. Thanks again.

 too much to try to listen to everything at once, so I need to break it down 
 into smaller pieces I can look at one at a time, and can repeat if 
 necessary. For anyone wondering, no, I don't have a braille display.
  
 There's my question. Is there a way to write text, then have an app present 
 it in such a way that I can flick between paragraphs in that text, like how 
 a webpage works? I really hope I'm making some kind of sense; let me know if 
 I can clarify anything. Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone has.

Re: Question, if I download a file onto my phone, can I get it off my phone, onto my computer?

2015-06-02 Thread Alan Lemly
Terry, 

Whether you can get a file off your phone and onto your computer depends on a 
couple of factors. Apple's iOS system is not designed to allow open access to 
its file system by users. However, certain Apps have access to their files 
through iTunes or through a cloud service such as Dropbox so it depends on 
which app you used to get the file onto your phone. 

Give us some more details and perhaps we can help.

RE: A Very Excellent Source for Free RingTones, Sounds, and Notifications

2015-06-02 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Jed,

Sorry, I did download the zip folder with the ringtones from the link Mark 
provided. I hadn't even checked to see what format they were in but just 
assumed they were in iTunes/iPhone format since Mark mentioned somebody had 
already done all the work. As Cara pointed out, any tone that is not in AAC 
format (Apple Audio Codex) has to be converted first before you can rename it. 
The generic music/audio extension for this format is M4A and Apple uses various 
versions of this extension to indicate whether an audio file is a song, 
ringtone, audio book etc. Anything with M4A is treated just as audio/a song. 
M4R indicates a ringtone, M4B an audio book.

So, basically you will have to find an audio converter application or use a 
free online conversion website like 
http://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-m4a. I just tried that one and it's 
pretty simple and straight forward, of course, it is one file/tone at a time 
and I believe there was over 100 tones in that zipped file. Anyhow, the link I 
provided should straight away open the page for converting to M4A, just use the 
button quick nav key to find the browse button, browse to the file you want 
to convert, select it and then find the Convert button. The file will upload 
and convert, then check your information bar as it should pop up with a notice 
asking whether you want to download the newly converted tone. Select Save and 
the M4A file will be put in your downloads folder. Now you can rename it and 
follow the steps I described in my first email which explain how you get it 
into your tones library in iTunes and then sync it to your phone.

Maybe Mark will be so kind as to batch convert all the tones, rename them and 
to post a new zip file in his Dropbox.

Sieghard

 Hi John and Jed.

 John, Jed has already said that he has tried putting the ringtones in his 
 Tones folder.

 Jed, in order for your ringtones to show up as tones, remember, they must be 
 forty seconds or under, and they must have the file extension m4r.

 So if these tones are mp3 tones, they must be first converted to Apple’s AAC 
 format and then the extension of each file should be changed from m4a to m4r.

 If the sound files are already in AAC format and have the m4a extension, you 
 can simply rename the file and change its extension to m4r.

 Once you do this, the files in your Tones folder should show up for you as 
 ringtones in iTunes.

 You can then sync these to your phone.

 I hope this helps.

 Cheers!

RE: A Very Excellent Source for Free RingTones, Sounds, and Notifications

2015-06-02 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Jed,

It would probably have been easier if you had copied the ringtones into the 
Automatically Add to iTunes folder in your iTunes Media folder. If you do 
this and then open iTunes, iTunes will recognize them as ringtones and 
automatically copy them into the Tones folder and at the same time add them to 
your Tones library.

If you have already copied them into iTunes\iTunes Media\Tones then open 
iTunes, go to the File menu, select Add Folder to Library and browse to your 
Tones folder and select it. This will add the Tones to your Tones library.

Now that this is done you have to connect your phone and sync either all tones 
or those you select to your phone. As I said, connect your phone to the 
computer, open iTunes and go to your device section. In the treeview which 
starts with Summary, go down past Apps and Music until you get to Tones. Now 
tab once and you should have a checkbox which says something like Sync Tones 
or Sync Ringtones. Make sure you check this. Now tab a few more times and you 
will find two options: Sync all Tones or Sync Selected Tones. If you check 
to sync all tones then all you have to do now is go to File, Devices and 
select Sync. If you select to sync only selected tones then tab until you get 
into the listview of all available tones, arrow down through the list, 
select/check the ones you want by pressing the spacebar and after you are done 
go to File, Devices and Sync.
Your tones should now be available on the phone.

Sieghard

 For a while now I've been using a text message alert on my iPhone 6 Plus
 that I ripped from a Galaxy Note 2.

 There are several ringtones and/or notifications on my Galaxy S 6 that I
 want to use on my 6 Plus, as well.

 Imagine my surprise when I discovered that all the hard work had already
 been done for me as the S 6 and 6 Edge stock sounds are available on The
 Android Soul.com website.

 All they ask is that one gives them credit for the Zip file when
 sharing the
 link or when using the sounds in a custom ROM.

 So, for those of you who want to sprinkle a little Galaxy seasoning into
 your Apple sauce (or anything else for that matter), I offer the
 following
 two links:

 1.
 The direct download link to the Zip file containing all of the stock
 sounds
 for Samsung Galaxy S 6 and 6 Edge:
 http://www.theandroidsoul.com/downloads/file/S6Rings.zip

 2.
 The URL to the Android Soul.com site which contains the link listed
 above:
 http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-ringtones-74737/

 Please note that all of the files are in their original format said
 format
 being .ogg

 In order to be used in iOS as ringtones or notifications, assuming you do
 not use iTunes in the conversion process, they will first have to be
 converted to .m4a and then subsequently renamed to .m4r.

 Enjoy,

 Mark

More Paypal app problems: can't send payment

2015-06-02 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all,
I'm giving up on the Paypal app. I tried to send a payment a couple days ago, 
then again this morning. Both times, it wouldn't work. Finally, I just went to 
the website and did it from there. Here's what happened, and, just to be safe, 
at no point did I use braille input.

I logged in and chose to send money. I entered (well, pasted, but same thing) 
the email address, then tried to enter the amount. Before I could, I had to 
choose the radio button for the payment type (friend/family or goods). Only 
after I selected that would the app let me edit the amount field. I typed in 
the number, then tried to hit next, but nothing happened. I looked back at my 
fields… and saw that the email/phone field, where I'd pasted the email 
address before, was empty. It turned out that every time I wanted to edit a new 
field (amount, message, etc) I had to hit a radio button or the app would 
refuse to bring up a keyboard for that field. Each time I hit a radio button, 
though, the first field on the screen was cleared out for some reason. Thus, I 
could never continue, since editing any field effectively made me hit a button 
that the app took as a signal to clear out the address field, and the app can't 
go on with no address.

All my apps are up to date, and I'm on an iPhone 5 with iOS8.3. Does anyone 
have any idea why this would be happening? I don't anticipate using Paypal much 
for this kind of thing, but it would be nice to have the option for times I 
need it.
