Re: Instant pot multi use appliance with accessible iPhone app

Hi!
You should explore online comunity for this cooker. I read somewhere
there's a FB page or group with thousands of recipees and other
similar online corners.
From my experience you should experiment a bit, cooking few minutes
more or few minutes less could make the food more according to your
taste. Also, there could be a difference with different brand of
groceries so online recipees are not the Ten Commandments xD.
Presets are good if you know what you're doing and what do you
expect and manual settings are great for customizing the cooking of
specific food.

  We just bought the smart Instant Pot and I have a few observations.
I have never used a pressure cooker. The recipes in the app are too
fancy and time consuming for the ost part. But they do give you an
idea of how long it takes to cook things which is helpful.
There are settings for lots of foods, but that's a little confusing
too. Poultry, for example, could be a few chicken brasts, a whole
chicken, a stuffed fowl of some kind etc. Cooking requirements are all
really different for those so I'm not sure why they have these vague
settings.
But everything we've made has been taty and it's a very accessible
product. Just a little confusing for the uninitiated because I think
the presets are a little meaningless unless I'm missing something.

Hi Penny,
I have kind of gotten away from so many grains, so I probably won't be doing
the steel cut oats so I won't be able to give you a first-hand report. There
is an extremely active Facebook group of instant pot users, some of whom
have self identified as blind folks. If you are on Facebook, as I know you
are, and you join that group, I bet you could put in a post about steel cut
oats and see what comes back.

Thanks, Mary. My daughter and son-in-law cook perfect steel-cut oats
in their Japanese rice cooker. So, I bought a rice cooker several
years ago -- but a different kind, since I couldn't access the touch
cooking controls on their cooker with a dynamic display. Their rice
cooker has "fuzzy logic." Mine does not., and my oatmeal does not turn
out creamy and delicious like theirs!

So, I am curious as to how well the steel cut oats might turn out in
the InstantPot.

Thanks for the info.

Hi Penny, there is a multi grain setting. And there are recipes for oats.
I
haven't looked to see what setting they use. There's also a rice setting.
So
the short answer is, I am sure it is possible to cook porridge, but you
do
have to be careful about foaming.

Mary, thanks for the followup. I know that on the standard model,
once
you
choose a preset like rice, you have several seconds to make any
adjustments before it will start on its own. By adjustments, I mean
plus
or minus the default time for the preset. Hopefully, the app will do
the
same, giving you time to make any changes. For the most part, since
I've
been pressure cookingfor some time now, I usually use the manual
setting
and don't use the presets all that much.

Hi folks,

The native mail app on my iPhone 6 is driving me nuts; in fact,
IOS 9.2 on my iPhone 6 just seems to get flakier and squirrelier
as time goes by, with general instability and/or focus loss
issues et cetera, but I digress. Here's what's going on with
Mail.

1.  The logg-standing focus issue when exiting from mail threads
is still around, which annoys me no end.

2.  I continually see multiple mail threads with the same
subject lines instead of one consolidated mail thread containing
the same subject line. Does that make any sense?

3.  If I move from my inbox to another folder, say, a folder
containing saved messages, then attempt to return to my inbox,
the inbox is gone. Gone! I can't get it back until I kill the
mail app in the app switcher and restart Mail.  What the heck's
going on here?  Btw, a colleague of mine at work is experiencing
the same issue.  I thought that maybe VoiceOver just isn't
letting me see the inbox, so I turned VO off and back on again.
No dice.


Any ideas?


Thanks in advance.


Tom

Birthdays via the contacts and the calendar

[Jan Kleinhans]

Hi all

Now, if I create a new contact and also put the birthday in, I do see that the 
birthday is also present on the calendar.  But here is where my problems start. 
 I should say that I might not be that proficient with the calendar, so I could 
be missing something.  If I add this birthday and go to the calendar, I can 
find the event, and it would show something like: "jan Kleinhans, birthday, all 
day."  Now, if I wanted to add a notification so that it would tell me on the 
day that it is the birthday, how do I do this?  I can somehow get to the point 
where you can move the event.  If I do that, I can see the hours, so I can move 
it to say 7 in the morning, but there seems to be no way to actually select 
that time, nor to switch on an alert for this event.  If I start the entry on 
the calendar by adding a new event, I can set all of this.  So, what would be 
the purpose thento add the birthday via the contact to the calendar if you can 
not set up the notification?  Yes, you can go into the calendar, and go to the 
date to see if there are events, but that's about all, unless I am missing 
something very obvious here.  I know one can set reminders via the reminders 
app, and using Siri and all of that, but at this stage that's not what I want 
to know, hoping that this might work in another way then?

Thank you for any clarification of this matter.

Re: Apple Watch won't speak

Sounds like it is in power reserve mode where it only shows the time.  Voice

To restart the watch, hold down the friends button for four seconds.  This will

Re: The Martian with descriptive video

[terrie arnold]

curious as I just read the Martian thought it was a wonderful book

Re: Frustrations with Dative Mail App

[englishrider91]

The only two issues I'm having with the Mail app are that when I press the back 
button to get out of a message, and then again to get out of a thread, The 
first press works, but the second doesn't. It appears to, and I briefly see my 
other threads, but after a second, I'm back in the thread I was in before. I'm 
not double tapping on anything here. It seems like the phone quickly shifts 
from being out of the thread I was looking at, then back into it. I have to 
press the back button again to actually get out of the thread and back into my 
mailbox, for example, the one I have for the VIPhone list. My other miss you 
with mail is that, 99 times out of 100, the app loses focus when I back out of 
a thread and get back into the mailbox; I get put back at the top of my list of 
messages in the mailbox, unlike in iOS 8, where I was placed on the thread I 
was just looking at, especially if I tapped with a single finger in the middle 
of the screen. This no longer does the trick, for the most part, and I am 
usually dumped back at the top of the list of messages. This is rather 
irritating.


Thanks,
Ari

Re: Fleksy

To switch back from Fleksy to normal iOS keyboard, single tap and hold on the

Then keep your finger down and slide slowly to the right. The first button

Question regarding closing sponsored ads and returning to get upgrades screen in BlindFold Bowling with VoiceOver

[Shai]

Hello,
After listening to a sponsored video ad in the get upgrades screen of
BlindFold Bowling with VoiceOver, I notice that there is no means by
which to exit this screen and return to the get upgrades section of
the app to see the amount of blindfolds. I have tried double tapping
on the video to show controls to attempt to get to a done button but
when I attempt to perform this step, the video seems to play again. In
order to exit, I have to close the app from the switcher and restart
it which does not result in more blindfolds to get more coins and play
the game. This is on my iPhone 6s running IOS 9.2.
Has anyone been able to discover any steps to be able to exit and earn
more coins?
Thank you in advance for any responses

Re: Can no longer like or dislike videos with official YouTube app

[Wayne Merritt]

I have had trouble with the iPhone YouTube app too. My temporary work
around is to use the YouPlayer app, which I believe is free. With the
YouPlayer app, you can accessibly like/unlike videos, as well as have
access to rodar actions in your list of liked videos. Hopefully
YouTube will fix their appf or liking videos since it is a hassle to
go to another app to like something but it works.

Apple Watch and notifications

Is there a way to have different tones or sounds for different types of

For example, a reminder or text Message notification might be more important

RE: question podcast smart tv

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Rick,

 

That sounds interesting, I think when I looked at this some years ago everybody 
was using their proprietary software/interface and that of course never is good 
for accessibility and it’s nice to see that some standards do prevail in the 
end which make things more accessible.

I also have a Sony LCD TV, but it’s definitely not smart, I bought it after 
Christmas 2007 so it’s now 8 years old and while it has a 40 inch 1080P 
display, it’s positively bulky compared to today’s thin TV’s. I got a good deal 
back then for $1,800 Canadian – nowadays this buys you something pretty darn 
big and fancy and you can get a decent quality 40 inch TV for $500 or even 
less..

One nice thing is that it has a ton of inputs which isn’t always the case any 
more especially older standards. This one has 2 HDMI, 2 Component and 3 
Composit/analogue/RCA in back + one on the side, it also has optical and 
analogue out, an old S-Video and a VGA/computer style input for hooking up to 
the old-style computer VGA outputs. The input selection is not accessible, but 
if you know the input button and the order the list is in it’s not difficult to 
do. I am 48 now and when I was little we still had a black and white TV back in 
Germany with 2 channels. When I was about 10 or 11 we bought the first colour 
TV and we then had 4 channels with a 20-foot antenna on top of the roof with 
arms and things going every which way. I was fully sighted until I was 16 and 
totally remember one of the first shows we watched in colour, a Jaque Cousteau 
under-water documentary and we were all sitting there with our mouths hanging 
open. Back then you bought a TV maybe once every 20 years or whenever the tubes 
went so having bought one 8 years ago and contemplating possibly buying another 
one in the next 2-5 years sounds rather decadent/wasteful to an old thrifty 
german. But just as with everything, technologies do mature and the rate of 
changes does slow down and I think in 3, 4 or 5 years an ultra HD TV with lots 
of bells and whistles will be even more affordable than now. I think where my 
TV has to be from a room layout point of view 55 inches is about as large as I 
can go and I think the trend will be towards bigger for less money rather than 
drastically different technology. 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Just an FYI,

 

We recently purchased a Sony XBR 65x850c TV. What is interesting about this 
latest Sony lineup of 2015 sets is that they are now using Android TV for their 
OS.  I was actually able to load TalkBack onto it which made the TV and lots of 
settings quite accessible except for some of the apps like Netflix. Pretty much 
if the apps are accessible on an Android phone, they will be on Android OS.

 

Between this and also using an Apple TV 4th gen, it’s a pretty darn accessible 
setup. I can switch back and forth between the smart tv interface and Apple TV 
and of course also to the Xfinity box with talking nvoice guidance. It’s been a 
big step forward I think from a couple of years ago.

Subject: RE: question podcast smart tv

 

I think Gianni was referring to actual TV’s which have various smart features 
built in such as being able to access Netflix, do Skype calls, browse the 
internet etc. Anyhow, this is what generally is referred to as a smart TV and 
of course Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic and so on all make these things nowadays 
and often manufacturers make various claims as to how upgradable they are. 
Especially Samsung claimed that if you buy one of theirs you can upgrade not 
just the software but in some cases even the hardware I think with a new 
processor etc. However, I also read recently in connection with CES in Las 
Vegas that they are now coming out with stuff where even people who bought a TV 
a year or two ago are left behind and of course now all the rage is ultra high 
HD or 4K and of course no TV that is just an HD TV can be upgraded to that. I 
think in the end it will emerge that TV’s become “dummer” again so to speak and 
that the smarts will be in the set top boxes we use to access the content. This 
of course makes sense to me since you shouldn’t have to ugrade an entire TV 
every 3 to 5 years but a $100 to $200 set top box can be much more easily 
replaced with something newer and more advanced.

Also I think that there are no smart TV’s out there which have any sort of 
accessibility hence probably the lack of Podcasts since each company does their 
own thing.

Sieghard

RE: How can I find an app on my phone to move it?

Wow, Keith, maybe it's time to delete rather than move apps *smile*. Are you 
really using most of these apps?

Thanks in advance, Keith

RE: Frustrations with Dative Mail App

[Sieghard Weitzel]

This focus issue you describe when returning to the Inbox entirely disappeared 
for me in iOS 9.2 or maybe it was even 9.1 I also can't reproduce the problem 
you describe with the back button. Which phone do you have? If it's a 6S or 6S 
Plus is it possible you somehow invoke some 3D Touch thing? Also, I usually use 
the scrub gesture instead of the back button, maybe give that a try and see if 
it's more reliable.

Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: Re: Frustrations with Dative Mail App

The only two issues I'm having with the Mail app are that when I press the back 
button to get out of a message, and then again to get out of a thread, The 
first press works, but the second doesn't. It appears to, and I briefly see my 
other threads, but after a second, I'm back in the thread I was in before. I'm 
not double tapping on anything here. It seems like the phone quickly shifts 
from being out of the thread I was looking at, then back into it. I have to 
press the back button again to actually get out of the thread and back into my 
mailbox, for example, the one I have for the VIPhone list. My other miss you 
with mail is that, 99 times out of 100, the app loses focus when I back out of 
a thread and get back into the mailbox; I get put back at the top of my list of 
messages in the mailbox, unlike in iOS 8, where I was placed on the thread I 
was just looking at, especially if I tapped with a single finger in the middle 
of the screen. This no longer does the trick, for the most part, and I am 
usually dumped back at the top of the list of messages. This is rather 
irritating.


Thanks,
Ari

Hi Keith, 

I don't know if this is the best way, but I've used the Spot Light feature 
which is native on the iPhone.  You can access this by doing a 3-finger swipe

 Thanks, Mary. My daughter and son-in-law cook perfect steel-cut oats

 So, I am curious as to how well the steel cut oats might turn out in

 Thanks for the info.

 Mary, thanks for the followup. I know that on the standard model,

 I have never used a pressure cooker. The recipes in the app are too
 fancy and time consuming for the ost part. But they do give you an
 idea of how long it takes to cook things which is helpful.
 There are settings for lots of foods, but that's a little confusing
 too. Poultry, for example, could be a few chicken brasts, a whole
 chicken, a stuffed fowl of some kind etc. Cooking requirements are all
 really different for those so I'm not sure why they have these vague
 settings.
 But everything we've made has been taty and it's a very accessible
 product. Just a little confusing for the uninitiated because I think
 the presets are a little meaningless unless I'm missing something.

RE: why audible?

[R VanLant]

Thank you all.  I appreciate you insights  on Audible.  I did not realize they 
include dramatiztions, so that might be a nice way for me to use the credits.  
It’s nice to know that they  have a return policy, too.

Subject: Re: why audible?

 

 

I use Audible less now than I did, but there are some books that have a great 
human reader that are not available through BARD or the CD package costs too 
much and is Audible usually has the best price on audio books. Plus, their 
books, listened to with their app, have the best book navigation options of 
other audio books.

Though, as you may have noticed with BARD, they are getting more commercially 
recorded books in their system. So, I always check BARD first before deciding 
to buy an Audible book.

At this point, I probably read more books from Bookshare using Voice Dream 
Reader than any other method.

Some books just are better with a human reader in my opinion.

 

Ultimately, it boils down to personal preference if you want human read books 
and how much you are willing to pay for them.

Enjoy,

Richard

Re: The Current Audible App, was Re: why audible?

[Les Kriegler]

You can also use the Amazon echo to play audible books. That's a really nice 
option. I have been explored being able to navigate within the book, but I know 
you can change which book you are playing. And of course, your place is 
remembered regardless of the book being played.

Re: Birthdays via the contacts and the calendar

[Gordan Radić]

  
  
Hi!
I just checked my Calendar to reproduce what you are experiencing
but I didn't even get to the event settings.
But, the problem is the 'Whole day' setting. The calendar
automatically treats the event as whole day so there's no need to
adjust the time, hours, place etc, etc.
If you want to change those things you first need to switch the
event from Whole day and I believe you'll ge the access to the
settings you need.
If the event is set fot he whole day it automatically gets the
default Calendar notification on 9 o'clock AM which can be changed
in Settings, Mail, Calendar and Contacts section.

  Hi all
   
  Now, if I create a new contact
  and also put the birthday in, I do see that the birthday is
  also present on the calendar.  But here is where my problems
  start.  I should say that I might not be that proficient with
  the calendar, so I could be missing something.  If I add this
  birthday and go to the calendar, I can find the event, and it
  would show something like: "jan Kleinhans, birthday, all
  day."  Now, if I wanted to add a notification so that it would
  tell me on the day that it is the birthday, how do I do this? 
  I can somehow get to the point where you can move the event. 
  If I do that, I can see the hours, so I can move it to say 7
  in the morning, but there seems to be no way to actually
  select that time, nor to switch on an alert for this event. 
  If I start the entry on the calendar by adding a new event, I
  can set all of this.  So, what would be the purpose thento add
  the birthday via the contact to the calendar if you can not
  set up the notification?  Yes, you can go into the calendar,
  and go to the date to see if there are events, but that's
  about all, unless I am missing something very obvious here.  I
  know one can set reminders via the reminders app, and using
  Siri and all of that, but at this stage that's not what I want
  to know, hoping that this might work in another way then?
   
  Thank you for any clarification
  of this matter.

Re: Birthdays via the contacts and the calendar

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello,
As long as you have the setting turned on, then you will get a notification for 
all day events.
There is nothing you have to do in the calendar.

Just go to settings, mail contacts calendar, then swipe down to the calendar 
section and double tap on Default Alerts.
In here, swipe until you hear All Day Events and double tap.
Now you can choose when you will receive your notification for all day events 
including Birthdays.  I have mine set for 9 AM on the day of the event.

I hope this helps.

Chris

Re: Apple Watch won't speak

[Alan Paganelli]

I didn't even know that that bar kind of button was also the power button.  
Then again like my wife said.  Stop playing with it all day and the battery 
will last longer.  Good point that.

RE: question podcast smart tv

[Rick Alfaro]

Just an FYI,

 

We recently purchased a Sony XBR 65x850c TV. What is interesting about this 
latest Sony lineup of 2015 sets is that they are now using Android TV for their 
OS.  I was actually able to load TalkBack onto it which made the TV and lots of 
settings quite accessible except for some of the apps like Netflix. Pretty much 
if the apps are accessible on an Android phone, they will be on Android OS.

 

Between this and also using an Apple TV 4th gen, it’s a pretty darn accessible 
setup. I can switch back and forth between the smart tv interface and Apple TV 
and of course also to the Xfinity box with talking nvoice guidance. It’s been a 
big step forward I think from a couple of years ago.

 

 

 

Best regards,

 

Rick Alfaro

I think Gianni was referring to actual TV’s which have various smart features 
built in such as being able to access Netflix, do Skype calls, browse the 
internet etc. Anyhow, this is what generally is referred to as a smart TV and 
of course Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic and so on all make these things nowadays 
and often manufacturers make various claims as to how upgradable they are. 
Especially Samsung claimed that if you buy one of theirs you can upgrade not 
just the software but in some cases even the hardware I think with a new 
processor etc. However, I also read recently in connection with CES in Las 
Vegas that they are now coming out with stuff where even people who bought a TV 
a year or two ago are left behind and of course now all the rage is ultra high 
HD or 4K and of course no TV that is just an HD TV can be upgraded to that. I 
think in the end it will emerge that TV’s become “dummer” again so to speak and 
that the smarts will be in the set top boxes we use to access the content. This 
of course makes sense to me since you shouldn’t have to ugrade an entire TV 
every 3 to 5 years but a $100 to $200 set top box can be much more easily 
replaced with something newer and more advanced.

Also I think that there are no smart TV’s out there which have any sort of 
accessibility hence probably the lack of Podcasts since each company does their 
own thing.
