Re: playing a video on youtube with the youtube app

[Lynn Schneider]

Hi Rebecca. If the student has played a video in the official YouTube app and 
wants to play it again, Just do a two finger double tap and it will start 
playing again from the beginning. I know this because I tend to fall asleep 
with YouTube relaxation videos and want to replay them from the beginning when 
I wake up.you don't have to mess with the position slider if you are at the 
very end of the video. Just do a two finger double tap and it will start 
playing again from the beginning. Hope this helps.

To find out the capacity of your iPhone, go to Settings, General,

RE: Question on Apple Pay

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Ed,

Tell your wife that when she is ready to pay to press the home button twice 
quickly (don’t unlock the phone). It will pop up with the primary card on the 
lock screen, then just tell her to put her finger on the home button and while 
she is doing so hold the iPhone right up against the card terminal. That is all 
there is to it.

RE: apple airport express

[Sieghard Weitzel]

The Airport Express is more a wireless access point than a router. If you have 
no devices which need to be plugged in you could use it, but otherwise you 
would probably want to look at the Airport Extreme which I believe has 4 ports.

I guess it all depends on how much money you want to spend. I just bought one 
of the top of the line Asus triband routers for my business, but that does cost 
$300 here in Canada. At home I have a Netgear Nighthawk R8000 which is also 
around that price (in the States they are probably $220 or $250) US), but both 
of these are considered among the best wireless routers. Both have an 
accessible web interface. Apple makes good stuff, but they are not the best in 
everything

Sieghard

RE: Apple Garage Band on the phone 6

[M. Taylor]

John,

Simply calculate the sum of the amount of available storage and the amount of 
used storage; then, round up to the next capacity iPhone model.

iPhone 6 series models come in either 16, 64, or 128GB models.  I believe the 
sum, based on your previous post is around 12GB.  Therefore, your phone must be 
a 16GB device.

Hello John,

It sounds to me as though you have a 16GB phone, right?

I know it may sound obvious but have you rebooted your phone before and after 
installing Garage Band?  

If the answer is, “yes”, then it may be that you do not have enough space on 
your phone to successfully use the app.  This is only a guess, however.

Hi: I've downloaded  Apple Garage Band 3 times now on the iPhone 6 and when I

and tapping through the screen simply reads the letters "welcome to Garage

In setting/general storage the phone reads "used 6.1 GB, available 5.5 GB Does 
availability mean the full space available or does it indicate the amount of

Re: A Good Calendar App

[Richard Turner]

Do you mean this one for Month Cal:
Month Calendar 2, Procrasty.

They do mention VoiceOver at the end of their description and in the What's New 
section.
But, nothing is just called "Month Cal" in the app store.

Hello John,

It sounds to me as though you have a 16GB phone, right?

I know it may sound obvious but have you rebooted your phone before and after 
installing Garage Band?  

If the answer is, “yes”, then it may be that you do not have enough space on 
your phone to successfully use the app.  This is only a guess, however.

In setting/general storage the phone reads "used 6.1 GB, available 5.5 GB Does

Nice list, Mark, here are a few more I use although some of them require 
hardware:

Sonos - requires Sonos music players, I think it's been discussed here enough 
so I don't have to go into more details as to what exactly the Sonos system 
does, if somebody doesn't know and wants to know go to www.sonos.com and check 
the list archives for "Sonos" related posts.

Netatmo: requires the Netatmo weather station

Thermostat: requires the Wi-Fi capable thermostat from www.RadioThermostat.com

Nuheat: requires in-floor electric heating mats from Nuheat (the kind that are 
installed underneath tile floors. The app allows me to control the thermostats 
connected to each mat/room that has it, in my case two bathrooms and my kitchen.

Nest: I use it not for thermostat, but I purchased 5 Dropcam Pro a couple of 
years ago for security cameras for my retail store. Dropcam was then purchased 
by Nest and the Dropcam app was replaced with the Nest app. Of course the video 
feed is useless to me directly, but the cameras also transmit audio and you can 
press a button in the app and speak through the camera.

CBC News for Canadian news and Weather Office for Canadian weather

Google: That is the Google search app which also has those Google Now cards.

Transit: Gives youtransit information for many cities

Parcel: for parcel tracking

Whats App: one of the social media apps I use in addition to Skype, fAcebook 
and Messenger

Roboform: Mark mentioned another password manager, I have been a Roboform user 
for many years and for $20 a year I get the Roboform Everywhere service which 
means my passcards and SafeNotes are available on any of my 5 work and home 
PC's and my iPhone.

Mark mentioned OneDrive which I use more now that I have both an Office 365 
business and home subscription with 1 Tb of storage. But I also use Dropbox.

Compass: the native compass app which is sometimes handy when I need to know 
direction and of course it also has the built-in level.

Scotia Bank: the app of my Canadian financial institution

Paprika: a recipe app, but it's not an app that actually contains recipes, it's 
an app which allows you to search for recipes and you can then add them to 
Paprika with just a couple of taps and all the information is nicely displayed 
with tabs for ingredients and directions, you can have multiple timers, make a 
shopping list out of the ingredients for a recipe etc. My wife also has it on 
her iPhone and we use the same log-in for Paprika so if she adds a recipe it's 
automatically in my list as well.

Speedtest: for checking cellular and/or Wi-Fi connection spped

Authy: an app that generates one-time passcodes for accounts where I have 
enabled 2-step verification

For recognition and related: Light Detector (Mark doesn't need it because he's 
got more vision than a hundred others of us on this list *smile* Talking 
Goggles, Camfind and Tap Tap See

Apple Store app: for browsing and buying products from Apple, making genious 
bar appointments etc.
Shopper's Drug Mart: Canadian drug mart chain which let's me use coupons, 
specials, display my Shopper's Optimum card to be scanned etc.

Walk Log: tracks distance walked and more

I'll stop here, there are more, but some are quite specific since a couple of 
my suppliers have apps and that wouldn't apply to anybody else.

Regards,
Sieghard

RE: accessibility problems in the newest itunes update?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Larry,

I have Leasey Advanced and received no such message hence I did the update. It 
does seem that things are a bit different although I didn’t have much time yet 
to check it out. Maybe he says not to update because it’s different enough that 
the scripts don’t work or only work partially. What I have sen seems OK, but 
then again I haven’t connected a phone yet and so on. I’ll check it out tonight.

Regards,
Sieghard

Re: Call blocking isn't working

[Kimberly]

I go to the recent calls list and flick to the more info button, double tap and 
flick down to block this caller. I confirm that I really do want to block this 
number then exit the phone app.

I don't usually delete the number from my recent calls list.

RE: iPhone seems to have died during update

This is a 5 s. I tried to help her by putting her phone in recovery mode and it 
was still giving us problems. She is on the phone with Apple now I guess. She 
had a bad cable. Thanks to everyone who responded. I think she got it.

If you get a duplicate duplicate of this I apologize. I looked in my sent

in so many seconds, and then stopped. It never rebooted after that. I connected 
it to the computer and try
 to update through iTunes, which I do have the latest version of, but iTunes 
said that there was a problem updating the phone. I tried several times, but 
each time iTunes kept saying that it was downloading software for the update 
but then trying to start the

iPhone is the only phone I have.

Re: focus 14 blue braille display and iOS 9.3.2

[Flor Lynch]

I don't know if any of the below will assist, but these are my thoughts and 
observations.
What Braille Input Mode are you typing in? i.e., 6-dot, 8-dot, or 
contracted? (I use 8-dot, myself.


I don't (really) encounter the problem you mention. A thought I had was that 
it might just be the shortness of the width, i.e., 14 cells; and it's easy 
enough to re-route the cursor to your writing position again. (It is, of 
course, one character behind where you are.)


There's also a Reduced Motion setting (I believe it's in the Accessibility 
Settings). You could try toggling it to the opposite state of what it is 
when you have the problem.

Subject: focus 14 blue braille display and iOS 9.3.2

Hello all,
Since more then 1 year, I have a focus 14 blue braille display.
Until now, the device has never worked as expected with my iPhone 6. I have 
already solved some issues/problems with changing settings but there is 
still some annoying problem.


When I am typing in a mail or any other text area, with the braille-keyboard 
of the focus, all goes fine.
But, it happens often that the braille display (and also the cursor) is 
jumping to the beginning of the text I have already written.
This happens when I stop typing. I think it happens randomly , not after a 
specifiek key I press on the braille display.


Is this still a bug in iOS or could a setting solve this problem?
Many thx for the answers and perhaps solutions.

Kind regards,
William Windels

Nice list, Mark, here are a few more I use although some of them require 
hardware:

Sonos - requires Sonos music players, I think it's been discussed here enough 
so I don't have to go into more details as to what exactly the Sonos system 
does, if somebody doesn't know and wants to know go to www.sonos.com and check 
the list archives for "Sonos" related posts.

Netatmo: requires the Netatmo weather station

Thermostat: requires the Wi-Fi capable thermostat from www.RadioThermostat.com

Nuheat: requires in-floor electric heating mats from Nuheat (the kind that are 
installed underneath tile floors. The app allows me to control the thermostats 
connected to each mat/room that has it, in my case two bathrooms and my kitchen.

Nest: I use it not for thermostat, but I purchased 5 Dropcam Pro a couple of 
years ago for security cameras for my retail store. Dropcam was then purchased 
by Nest and the Dropcam app was replaced with the Nest app. Of course the video 
feed is useless to me directly, but the cameras also transmit audio and you can 
press a button in the app and speak through the camera.

CBC News for Canadian news and Weather Office for Canadian weather

Google: That is the Google search app which also has those Google Now cards.

Transit: Gives youtransit information for many cities

Parcel: for parcel tracking

Whats App: one of the social media apps I use in addition to Skype, fAcebook 
and Messenger

Roboform: Mark mentioned another password manager, I have been a Roboform user 
for many years and for $20 a year I get the Roboform Everywhere service which 
means my passcards and SafeNotes are available on any of my 5 work and home 
PC's and my iPhone.

Mark mentioned OneDrive which I use more now that I have both an Office 365 
business and home subscription with 1 Tb of storage. But I also use Dropbox.

Compass: the native compass app which is sometimes handy when I need to know 
direction and of course it also has the built-in level.

Scotia Bank: the app of my Canadian financial institution

Paprika: a recipe app, but it's not an app that actually contains recipes, it's 
an app which allows you to search for recipes and you can then add them to 
Paprika with just a couple of taps and all the information is nicely displayed 
with tabs for ingredients and directions, you can have multiple timers, make a 
shopping list out of the ingredients for a recipe etc. My wife also has it on 
her iPhone and we use the same log-in for Paprika so if she adds a recipe it's 
automatically in my list as well.

Speedtest: for checking cellular and/or Wi-Fi connection spped

Authy: an app that generates one-time passcodes for accounts where I have 
enabled 2-step verification

For recognition and related: Light Detector (Mark doesn't need it because he's 
got more vision than a hundred others of us on this list *smile* Talking 
Goggles, Camfind and Tap Tap See

Apple Store app: for browsing and buying products from Apple, making genious 
bar appointments etc.
Shopper's Drug Mart: Canadian drug mart chain which let's me use coupons, 
specials, display my Shopper's Optimum card to be scanned etc.

Walk Log: tracks distance walked and more

I'll stop here, there are more, but some are quite specific since a couple of 
my suppliers have apps and that wouldn't apply to anybody else.

Sieghard

RE: Wireless printers and printing from iOS

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Wayne,

If the printer says it supports Airprint then nothing else in terms of an app 
is required, you can simply select to print something and the printer will be 
recognized by the iPhone and you can print to it.
I think most wireless HP printers and many other brands do support Airprint 
nowadays.
As for finding just a printer and one with buttons instead of a touchpad that 
is a different issue, there aren't too many and even if they have buttons there 
typically is a display and you have to sort of see what you are doing.
The good thing is that once the printer is set up you probably rarely have to 
change anything.

Sieghard

Subject: Wireless printers and printing from iOS

Greetings. I am starting to look into getting a wireless printer which
can print from either my iOS devices or a Mac. I don't do much
printing, so don't really need anything super fancy, or one of those
all in 1 scanner/copier/printers. I just want a wireless printer that
I can use to print from my Mac and iOS devices. It would be good if
the price were reasonable too, like around 50 or $75. I haven't bought
a printer in so long, but after looking on Amazon, there were several
within that price range. Finally, a printer which has buttons I can
feel would be awesome too. I am totally blind and don't want to have
to rely upon my sighted wife to change a setting.

On the issue of printing, I've heard of AirPrint. Is that a utility or
separate app that I would need to get for my iOS devices? How would
printing from an iPhone work exactly? The last time I dealt with
printers was at least 10 to 14 years ago, back when we attached cables
from the computer to the printer. Anyone remember those days? Grin.

Thanks,
Wayne

Re: Music trivia

[Wayne Merritt]

What kind of music trivia game are you looking for, such as one where
you identify songs after a few seconds of hearing them? if this is the
case, there are two that I know of which work well with VoiceOver. One
is called Rock On, and the other is called Song Guru. I think boht are
free but don't recall off hand. Song Guru is easier to use in my
humble opinion, since I dont' get choppy speech when flicking between
the different multiple choice answers. That sometimes happens with
Rock On. Also, Rock On is divided into different levels and you can
only do so much before you complete the level. With Song Guru, you
choose between genres and can go as logn as you don't get 3 wrong
answers. If you want to repeat genres you can do that too.

Have fun,
Wayne

Re: knfb reader help

[Richard Turner]

I have an iPhone 5s 64 gb and KNFB reader works great.
Did you get the question about giving KNFB permision to access the camera when 
you first tried to use it?
I've never gotten the lense covered message.
To me, that says there isn't enough light or something.
I'll do some experiments and let you know.

Wireless printers and printing from iOS

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I am starting to look into getting a wireless printer which
can print from either my iOS devices or a Mac. I don't do much
printing, so don't really need anything super fancy, or one of those
all in 1 scanner/copier/printers. I just want a wireless printer that
I can use to print from my Mac and iOS devices. It would be good if
the price were reasonable too, like around 50 or $75. I haven't bought
a printer in so long, but after looking on Amazon, there were several
within that price range. Finally, a printer which has buttons I can
feel would be awesome too. I am totally blind and don't want to have
to rely upon my sighted wife to change a setting.

On the issue of printing, I've heard of AirPrint. Is that a utility or
separate app that I would need to get for my iOS devices? How would
printing from an iPhone work exactly? The last time I dealt with
printers was at least 10 to 14 years ago, back when we attached cables
from the computer to the printer. Anyone remember those days? Grin.

Thanks,
Wayne

For those of you that use linked in, there i guess have been changes to the

Go to my network tab.  There is a thing that says view invitations and

What use to be there is another button called my connections.  It's a little

Now you have to click on add new connections, and you'll see your entire

It's a litle deveiving just cause of how it is labeled.

Re: Call blocking isn't working

[Kimberly]

I'm blocking the calls from the recent calls list. As for whether it's a 
telemarketer, I can't say since on the few occasions I have actually attempted 
to answer, there has been no one on the line and it only beeps like a hang up. 
I can however see a phone number so it's not one of those calls that don't show 
a number. I can even see that the call comes from Ohio. I just can't stop the 
calls though I don't know why.

RE: Can I change the colour of the Keyboard in iPhone?

[M. Taylor]

Hello Mohib,

Although some of the third-party soft-keyboards in iOS offer dark color 
schemes, the only way to change the native iOS 9.x soft keyboard is to simply 
invert the iOS system colors.  

As for me, I have my accessibility shortcut key set to invert colors.  As a 
result, when I want to invert colors, I simply press the Home button 3-times.  
Aside from VoiceOver, inverting the screen colors is my next most frequently 
used accessibility feature.  I must use it over 100 times per day, if not more.

I do wish that Apple allowed for custom color schemes but, alas, they do not.

Mark

Hey all, I am a partially blind user. Whenever I start typing in an edit box, 
the keyboard pops up, but visibly I can not feel the difference as the colour 
theme of the keyboard is lite. If the keyboard is in dark colour, I can 
perceive the popping up of the keyboard. So any possibility of changing the 
colour of the keyboard from lite to dark theme in my iPhone?

Re: siri volume

[Chris Chaffin]

The only way I know to adjust the volume of Siri is to:

Hold down the home button to activate Siri.
And then after you hear the beeps, use the up and down volume buttons to adjust 
the volume.

Hope this helps.

Another thing I like about Fantastical 2 is the increased alert times.
The native calendar lets you set alerts for an appointment at 5, 15 and 30 
minutes before, along with one or two hours before, and a week before. 
Fantastical also gives you 10 minutes, 45 minutes, even 6 or
12 hours before. The 12 hours before alert has come in handy for me when 
reminding myself of a doctor's appointment and that I had to fast overnight. 
Another big advantage is the ease of going to a specific date. From what I have 
found, there is not a way to go to a specific date in the native calendar, 
other than going through the months/years and physically locating the date. In 
Fantastical, I can search for a specific date, which also is handy with doctor 
appointments that may be several months in the future. I started using 
Fantastical around 2 years ago and haven't regretted the purchase one bit.

Hi,

Glad it helped.

Yes, the NOAA Weather Radio app is a different one.  

 

Thanks for the additional food for thought.  

 

Oh, Robin Frost, what a great weather name, would be perfect on radio or 
television. Are you a he or she?  Robin is one of those switch hitting names.  

 

I think you have given me enough information to make some decisions.  It may be 
that part of this gets done now and the rest next month.

Hi,

I think the noaa weather radio is different than that from weather decision 
technologies that has the lightning subscription.  If I’m wrong do correct me.

Oh dear this is just my opinion as others have praised it but here in suburban 
Philadelphia area just to give a point of reference I found rain alarm woefully 
inaccurate.  It indicated rain that was nowhere near me and remained silent 
when rain was actually here.  I do wish you better luck with it.

Depending on your greater need I.E. precip versus lightning you might choose 
differently.  Dark sky does not indicate lightning at least it never has for me 
but is spot on for rain starting and stopping. The Weather channel free version 
does well but isn’t always as spot on but follows closely behind. You asked how 
much the paid version is and what it gets you it merely is an ad free 
subscription it gains you no further weather information and is an annual 
subscription of $3.99 so thus wouldn’t markedly impact your information sought 
best as I can tell.

While it has lightning I didn’t find it to be quite as accurate as weather 
radio for lightning so if that’s a bigger concern for you you might want to 
take that into account.

another thing I should mention about the weather channel is that sometimes I 
and others have found that though it upon launching indicates that it’s updated 
current forecast data (as opposed to alerts) just speaking of current 
conditions and such they aren’t accurate and we haven’t found a gesture that 
forcibly causes it to update manually.  I did write to The Weather Channel to 
inquire about this and have received no response.

As for pricing

Weather Radio from Weather decision technologies found at 

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weather-radio-by-wdt/id413511993?mt=8

has a base price I believe of $4.99 which would get you the severe alerts and 
current conditions. Another payment of $4.99 (gets you one year of lightning 
subscription. It is an in app purchase that you must renew annually. for a 
total of $9.98. . Dark Sky found at

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dark-sky-hyperlocal-weather/id517329357?mt=8

is $3.99.

I hope that helps you better strategize.

Robin

Okay, that’s helpful.  

 

Here’s where I am in this process.  I bought NOAA Weather Radio a while back 
not having had any input on this, which allows me to hear the NWS broadcasts.  
This morning I picked up RainAlarm, a free one I can try for precipitation.  

 

I could not tell from it’s description whether DarkSky included lightning when 
I looked at it before.  

 

I could try the free one from the Weather Channel first; can I upgrade it to 
the paid version easily? How much extra does the lightning subscription for 
Weather Radio from Weather Decision cost?  Right now I have only about $7 in 
credit available on the card I use for app purchases until I make a payment 
next month, so I need to carefully plan my strategy.

Hi,

As I indicated before while the free app from The Weather channel offers alerts 
for both precipitation and lightning I’ve found that the paid apps Weather 
Radio from Weather Decision Technologies and Dark Sky from The Dark Sky Company 
are more accurate in my experience. I think the purchase of both apps including 
Weather Radio’s add on lightning subscription would top out at or under $15.

You could always try the free weather channel app out first to see if it works 
any more accurately for you first as it’s free. but in my experience as I said 
the other two paid options win the day hands down for accuracy in terms of 
exact location and timeliness.

I do hope that helps. Stay safe.

Re: Is there something I am missing in the down load process?

[Robin Frost]

Hi,
No once you find the icon for the app itself in the app store there should be a 
get button if you swipe to the right of its name or if you double tap its name 
in the description window of the app you’ll find it there as well. the buttons 
which seem to be to the left in swiping order I believe yield related searches. 
You shouldn’t need to interact with them at all.

I mentioned I was trying to down load the free Weather channel app.  I notice 
there are several buttons for various things such as forecasts, rain alerts, 
lightning and so forth under related in the search result for the weather 
channel to the left of where I would find the down load progress and where I 
could cancel if I wanted to.  

 

Do I need to double tap these to get the part of the app I want.  Those buttons 
also include wallpaper and widgets.  Very confusing.

Hi.  Just deleted the app and reinstalled it and still the same result.  
will check the batch mode thing but I think it is off.



very odd this.  I could just get something new from rogers but really 
don't want another two year contract as their service is very expensive.

RE: knfb reader help

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Brian,

I do have my wife's iPhone 6 64Gb Silver which we are going to sell. However, 
there should be no issue with your 5S. Maybe you turned on batch mode and the 
images are not recognized instantly. If this is not the case I wold simply 
delete the KNFB Reader app altogether and redownload it, I'm sure all will be 
fine and at this point I'd definitely wait for the fall to see what the iPhone 
7/7 Plus will bring.

Listening to various Podcasts I think, however, that while they'll no longr 
have a 3.5mm headphone jack, the upgrade will be incremental. Of course the new 
A10 processor and improved camera although it would appear that possibly the 7 
Plus is getting a much better camera than the 7. Apparently Tim Cook has said 
that the iPhone 7 will have something people won't be able to live without 
which caused some comments like "I didn't know it was producing my daily food, 
air to breath etc. I also heard that the rumours are Apple maybe working on 
something drastic for next year since 2017 is the 10-year anniversary of the 
iPhone. Speculations are a totally new form factor, OLED screen which goes from 
edge to edge with no frame to speak of, no more home button and instead Touch 
Id sensor, front camera and all other sensors embedded under the screen etc. It 
will be interesting what the 7 will have, but I could definitely see that Apple 
will try to come out with something that causes a Wow factor for a change for 
the 10-year anniversary.

Sieghard

Subject: knfb reader help

Hi all. So I have a strange issue with my knfb reader.  the recent discussion 
prompted me to play with it and now I have a problem.

I am using it on an iphone 5s 64 gb.

When I do a field of view report, it tells me things.

However, no matter what picture I take, I get no text found.  If I turn on 
automatic picture mode, it says lense covered once in a while.  This would lead 
me to suspect that my camera is not working.  However, I can take a photo and 
there actually is one. Also, why would the field of view report tell me info if 
camera was not working.

Is there an issue with this old a phone?

If so, I will consider getting a new one.  anyone got a carrier unlocked thing 
they want to sell?

Brian.

RE: Why Would You Choose the KNFB Reader Over The Other Options?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Wayne,

I am not sure if you are a Jaws user, but when it comes to recognizing PDF 
files which are images the convenient OCR feature of Jaws is also fantastic and 
I'd dare to say even easier than doing the same thing with KNFB Reader. Once 
the PDF file is open all it takes is one layred keystroke and the recognition 
process starts, the result is available in the virtual viewer where often 
formatting features like tables are preserved and I can easily do a selct all 
and copy and then paste it into a Notepad file or Word document for further 
saving or editing. I get a lot of PDF images at work and I use this oftem 
multiple times each day and ever since I can recognize entire multi-page 
documents I haven't used Openbook once.

Sieghard

Subject: Re: Why Would You Choose the KNFB Reader Over The Other Options?

It seems like many people have their own "wow" moments, experiences
where the app totally blew them away or really came in handy. For me,
it was last summer when I was renewing my apartment lease. I had asked
for an electronic copy of my lease, and that was probably the only
time that I had ever hoped to get an imaged based PDF file. When the
lease came, I imported it and recognized it with the KNFB Reader. The
recognition was 80 percent correct. The parts that it did not
recognize were where someone had handwritten numbers or other
information, and then rescanned the lease. The Reader had trouble
recognizing handwriting, but I think that's the case for any OCR app
or program--handwriting has not yet been recognized by anyone. So now
I have an electronic copy of my lease. As a side note, I was amused to
find out from reading the lease a section toward the end which said
that the complex would make every effort to accommodate people with
disabilities, including providing electronic leases. I'm going to keep
this in mind for when I renew this year, grin.

Another "wow" moment for me was when I went to CSUN last year. The
hotel had put a paper flyer under my door. I was able to use the KNFB
Reader to read the flyer. The information on the flyer did not apply
to me, but it was still pretty awesome to have access to such
information, verses wondering, "What does this paper say?"

RE: iPhone seems to have died during update

[Sieghard Weitzel]

She did do the over the air update from the way it sounds. It may work 99% of 
the time, but there is always a chance something can go wrong for whatever 
reason and the update process gets corrupted. Actually, updating via iTunes is 
in my opinion a safer way to update, but then again that is just my opinion. 
However, if I update via iTunes I get much more feedback and I’m not left in 
the dark so to speak while the iPhone reboots. Some people get worried if it 
takes a while and especially with older devices it can take quite a while. It’s 
best to plug the iPhone in when you do an over the air update and once you 
agreed to everything and the iPhone reboots, just don’t touch it even if it 
sits there for 2 hours. If nothing happens after that long then I guess 
something did go wrong.

RE: Call blocking isn't working

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Is it a telemarketer or a person you don't want to speak to? Just asking 
because I wonder if they are using different numbers or hide their caller Id. 
How do you block it, do you do it from the Recent call list?

Hi,

I've blocked a phone number that repeatedly calls me on my iPhone, I'm
talking like every day and sometimes more than once. However, calls
from that number are still coming through.

Any idea why this could be happening?

Thanks,

Re: A Good Calendar App

[Wayne Merritt]

Another thing I like about Fantastical 2 is the increased alert times.
The native calendar lets you set alerts for an appointment at 5, 15
and 30 minutes before, along with one or two hours before, and a week
before. Fantastical also gives you 10 minutes, 45 minutes, even 6 or
12 hours before. The 12 hours before alert has come in handy for me
when reminding myself of a doctor's appointment and that I had to fast
overnight. Another big advantage is the ease of going to a specific
date. From what I have found, there is not a way to go to a specific
date in the native calendar, other than going through the months/years
and physically locating the date. In Fantastical, I can search for a
specific date, which also is handy with doctor appointments that may
be several months in the future. I started using Fantastical around 2
years ago and haven't regretted the purchase one bit.

RE: Weather apps revisited

Yes, the NOAA Weather Radio app is a different one.  

 

Thanks for the additional food for thought.  

 

Oh, Robin Frost, what a great weather name, would be perfect on radio or 
television. Are you a he or she?  Robin is one of those switch hitting names.

Hi,

I think the noaa weather radio is different than that from weather decision 
technologies that has the lightning subscription.  If I’m wrong do correct me.

Oh dear this is just my opinion as others have praised it but here in suburban 
Philadelphia area just to give a point of reference I found rain alarm woefully 
inaccurate.  It indicated rain that was nowhere near me and remained silent 
when rain was actually here.  I do wish you better luck with it.

Depending on your greater need I.E. precip versus lightning you might choose 
differently.  Dark sky does not indicate lightning at least it never has for me 
but is spot on for rain starting and stopping. The Weather channel free version 
does well but isn’t always as spot on but follows closely behind. You asked how 
much the paid version is and what it gets you it merely is an ad free 
subscription it gains you no further weather information and is an annual 
subscription of $3.99 so thus wouldn’t markedly impact your information sought 
best as I can tell.

While it has lightning I didn’t find it to be quite as accurate as weather 
radio for lightning so if that’s a bigger concern for you you might want to 
take that into account.

another thing I should mention about the weather channel is that sometimes I 
and others have found that though it upon launching indicates that it’s updated 
current forecast data (as opposed to alerts) just speaking of current 
conditions and such they aren’t accurate and we haven’t found a gesture that 
forcibly causes it to update manually.  I did write to The Weather Channel to 
inquire about this and have received no response.

As for pricing

Weather Radio from Weather decision technologies found at 

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weather-radio-by-wdt/id413511993?mt=8

has a base price I believe of $4.99 which would get you the severe alerts and 
current conditions. Another payment of $4.99 (gets you one year of lightning 
subscription. It is an in app purchase that you must renew annually. for a 
total of $9.98. . Dark Sky found at

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dark-sky-hyperlocal-weather/id517329357?mt=8

is $3.99.

I hope that helps you better strategize.

Robin

Okay, that’s helpful.  

 

Here’s where I am in this process.  I bought NOAA Weather Radio a while back 
not having had any input on this, which allows me to hear the NWS broadcasts.  
This morning I picked up RainAlarm, a free one I can try for precipitation.  

 

I could not tell from it’s description whether DarkSky included lightning when 
I looked at it before.  

 

I could try the free one from the Weather Channel first; can I upgrade it to 
the paid version easily? How much extra does the lightning subscription for 
Weather Radio from Weather Decision cost?  Right now I have only about $7 in 
credit available on the card I use for app purchases until I make a payment 
next month, so I need to carefully plan my strategy.

Hi,

As I indicated before while the free app from The Weather channel offers alerts 
for both precipitation and lightning I’ve found that the paid apps Weather 
Radio from Weather Decision Technologies and Dark Sky from The Dark Sky Company 
are more accurate in my experience. I think the purchase of both apps including 
Weather Radio’s add on lightning subscription would top out at or under $15.

You could always try the free weather channel app out first to see if it works 
any more accurately for you first as it’s free. but in my experience as I said 
the other two paid options win the day hands down for accuracy in terms of 
exact location and timeliness.

I do hope that helps. Stay safe.

knfb reader help

[Brian Moore]

Hi all. So I have a strange issue with my knfb reader.  the recent 
discussion prompted me to play with it and now I have a problem.


I am using it on an iphone 5s 64 gb.

When I do a field of view report, it tells me things.

However, no matter what picture I take, I get no text found.  If I turn 
on automatic picture mode, it says lense covered once in a while.  This 
would lead me to suspect that my camera is not working.  However, I can 
take a photo and there actually is one. Also, why would the field of 
view report tell me info if camera was not working.


Is there an issue with this old a phone?

If so, I will consider getting a new one.  anyone got a carrier unlocked 
thing they want to sell?


Brian.

The easiest way I know is to start the video playing. Now flick

I could not tell which mail app you are using on your iPad.  If you are using 
the native mail app, the compose button is at the very far upper right.  The 
screen is split with a list of your most recent emails on the left and just one 
selected email in the center and the left of the screen.  If you have more than 
one email address, be careful that you are in the correct email address for the 
message you want to send.  Regards, Michelle

Re: is there a better way to send emails

[Kimber Gardner]

Wren,

The compose button should be at the bottom right of whatever screen
you are in as long as the mail app is open. Once you have emailed
someone, their info will be in your device. So when in the to field,
just start typing their name or email addie then flick through the
suggestions to find the one you want.

I hope this is helpful.

Re: Why Would You Choose the KNFB Reader Over The Other Options?

[Wayne Merritt]

It seems like many people have their own "wow" moments, experiences
where the app totally blew them away or really came in handy. For me,
it was last summer when I was renewing my apartment lease. I had asked
for an electronic copy of my lease, and that was probably the only
time that I had ever hoped to get an imaged based PDF file. When the
lease came, I imported it and recognized it with the KNFB Reader. The
recognition was 80 percent correct. The parts that it did not
recognize were where someone had handwritten numbers or other
information, and then rescanned the lease. The Reader had trouble
recognizing handwriting, but I think that's the case for any OCR app
or program--handwriting has not yet been recognized by anyone. So now
I have an electronic copy of my lease. As a side note, I was amused to
find out from reading the lease a section toward the end which said
that the complex would make every effort to accommodate people with
disabilities, including providing electronic leases. I'm going to keep
this in mind for when I renew this year, grin.

Another "wow" moment for me was when I went to CSUN last year. The
hotel had put a paper flyer under my door. I was able to use the KNFB
Reader to read the flyer. The information on the flyer did not apply
to me, but it was still pretty awesome to have access to such
information, verses wondering, "What does this paper say?"

RE: Why Would You Choose the KNFB Reader Over The Other Options?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Exactly, it's all in how easy the interface of KNFB Reader is and while you 
might prefer to use a stand at home, you could still be in situations where you 
would want a good result quickly when you are in a hotel or somewhere else or 
if you want to take a picture of a sign. I have automatic picture turned on, I 
usually put the phone on the page and line it up so it's reasonably straight 
with the edges, then I lift it straight up, as soon as I hear "text found, hold 
still" I hold still and the app takes the picture without me having to do a 
thing.

Krister,
Prizmo takes many steps to get a page scanned whether you use a stand use it 
free hand.
KNFB Reader takes one step whether you use a stand or use it free hand.
It still boils down to how much time a person wants to spend trying to get a 
good scan.
I use a stand only when I have multiple pages to scan.
I can lay a page on any surface, even just hold the page in one hand and the 
phone in the other and get a good scan in one try with KNFB reader.
But, if I'm doing several pages, it is much faster to put the phone on a stand 
and change pages with my hands free.
As I have said before, the Fopydo stand is my favorite stand, but others people 
prefer ScanJig or StandScan, it is all about personal choice.

 I also would like to sing great praises for the KNFB Reader app.  For
 years, I've used the Open Book with the Pearl camera on my PC and thought
 that was the cat's meow.  Well, I think very differently now.  The KNFB
 Reader has it all over the other scanners, in my opinion.  I've also
 tried Prizmo and had to use my StandScan Pro in order to scan properly.
 For one reason or another, I couldn't use it free-hand.  As someone
 eluded to earlier, when you have a page that's longer than the standard 8
 x 11 sheet, it's hard to put into the StandScan box, and reading it with
 the KNFB Reader was so much easier for me.  Just thought I'd put my 2

Re: Weather apps revisited

[Robin Frost]

Hi,
I think the noaa weather radio is different than that from weather decision 
technologies that has the lightning subscription.  If I’m wrong do correct me.
Oh dear this is just my opinion as others have praised it but here in suburban 
Philadelphia area just to give a point of reference I found rain alarm woefully 
inaccurate.  It indicated rain that was nowhere near me and remained silent 
when rain was actually here.  I do wish you better luck with it.
Depending on your greater need I.E. precip versus lightning you might choose 
differently.  Dark sky does not indicate lightning at least it never has for me 
but is spot on for rain starting and stopping. The Weather channel free version 
does well but isn’t always as spot on but follows closely behind. You asked how 
much the paid version is and what it gets you it merely is an ad free 
subscription it gains you no further weather information and is an annual 
subscription of $3.99 so thus wouldn’t markedly impact your information sought 
best as I can tell.
While it has lightning I didn’t find it to be quite as accurate as weather 
radio for lightning so if that’s a bigger concern for you you might want to 
take that into account.
another thing I should mention about the weather channel is that sometimes I 
and others have found that though it upon launching indicates that it’s updated 
current forecast data (as opposed to alerts) just speaking of current 
conditions and such they aren’t accurate and we haven’t found a gesture that 
forcibly causes it to update manually.  I did write to The Weather Channel to 
inquire about this and have received no response.
As for pricing
Weather Radio from Weather decision technologies found at 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weather-radio-by-wdt/id413511993?mt=8
has a base price I believe of $4.99 which would get you the severe alerts and 
current conditions. Another payment of $4.99 (gets you one year of lightning 
subscription. It is an in app purchase that you must renew annually. for a 
total of $9.98. . Dark Sky found at
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dark-sky-hyperlocal-weather/id517329357?mt=8
is $3.99.
I hope that helps you better strategize.
Robin

Okay, that’s helpful.  

 

Here’s where I am in this process.  I bought NOAA Weather Radio a while back 
not having had any input on this, which allows me to hear the NWS broadcasts.  
This morning I picked up RainAlarm, a free one I can try for precipitation.  

 

I could not tell from it’s description whether DarkSky included lightning when 
I looked at it before.  

 

I could try the free one from the Weather Channel first; can I upgrade it to 
the paid version easily? How much extra does the lightning subscription for 
Weather Radio from Weather Decision cost?  Right now I have only about $7 in 
credit available on the card I use for app purchases until I make a payment 
next month, so I need to carefully plan my strategy.

Hi,

As I indicated before while the free app from The Weather channel offers alerts 
for both precipitation and lightning I’ve found that the paid apps Weather 
Radio from Weather Decision Technologies and Dark Sky from The Dark Sky Company 
are more accurate in my experience. I think the purchase of both apps including 
Weather Radio’s add on lightning subscription would top out at or under $15.

You could always try the free weather channel app out first to see if it works 
any more accurately for you first as it’s free. but in my experience as I said 
the other two paid options win the day hands down for accuracy in terms of 
exact location and timeliness.

I do hope that helps. Stay safe.

Good morning.  

 

I know several weather apps were discussed a while ago and I saved a list Robin 
provided.  

 

I am needing to choose from these the most cost effective and accessible with 
VoiceOver, keeping in mind I am totally blind.

 

Most important for notifications are precipitation and lightning, particularly 
here in Florida as the summer storms appear about to begin this week.

I am not sure what you mean by "portable", all Bluetooth earpieces are portable 
and meant to be used while you are out and about. The Edge I believe is smaller 
than the Legend, it is little bigger than your small finger in terms of length 
and while maybe there are smaller ones, it is definitely very small. It sits in 
the outer ear, for me it fits very securely, and the part I said is about as 
long as your finger sits along your cheek and contains the microphones.

in the future. don’t use iTunes. Just connect your phone to the power charger, 
and do it over WiFi.

I have never had any problems.

If you get a duplicate duplicate of this I apologize. I looked in my sent

in so many seconds, and then stopped. It never rebooted after that. I connected 
it to the computer and try to update through iTunes, which I do have the latest 
version of, but iTunes said that there was a problem updating the phone. I 
tried several times, but each time iTunes kept saying that it was downloading 
software for the update but then trying to start the update process over. If 
anyone can help I would really appreciate it. The iPhone is the only phone I

Re: is there a better way to send emails

actually, I have just started using my iPad, because my iPhone isn't working 
right now. I couldn't find the compose button unless I had a message open. I 
guess that would've been a better way to ask my question. So if all of the 
messages are closed in the inbox but the inbox is open, where is the compose 
button? Thank you all very much. God bless, Wren Langley

Re: iPhone seems to have died during update

[Feliciano Godoy]

Hi,
How to put your iPhone or iPad into recovery mode

Turn Off your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad if it isn't off already.
Press and hold down the On/Offbutton on the right side (iPhone 6 or later) or 
top (all other iPhones, iPods, and iPads) for 3 seconds.
Swipe the slide to power offconfirmation slider to the right.


Press and hold down the Homebutton on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPhone.
Plug your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad into your Mac or Windows PC and make sure 
iTunes is running.
Release the Home button when you see the Connect to iTunes screen.


At this point iTunes should display an alert saying it's detected an iPhone, 
iPod touch, or iPad in recovery mode, and will let you restore your device.

Okay, that’s helpful.

Here’s where I am in this process.  I bought NOAA Weather Radio a while back 
not having had any input on this, which allows me to hear the NWS broadcasts.  
This morning I picked up RainAlarm, a free one I can try for precipitation.

I could not tell from it’s description whether DarkSky included lightning when 
I looked at it before.

I could try the free one from the Weather Channel first; can I upgrade it to 
the paid version easily? How much extra does the lightning subscription for 
Weather Radio from Weather Decision cost?  Right now I have only about $7 in 
credit available on the card I use for app purchases until I make a payment 
next month, so I need to carefully plan my strategy.

Hi,
As I indicated before while the free app from The Weather channel offers alerts 
for both precipitation and lightning I’ve found that the paid apps Weather 
Radio from Weather Decision Technologies and Dark Sky from The Dark Sky Company 
are more accurate in my experience. I think the purchase of both apps including 
Weather Radio’s add on lightning subscription would top out at or under $15.
You could always try the free weather channel app out first to see if it works 
any more accurately for you first as it’s free. but in my experience as I said 
the other two paid options win the day hands down for accuracy in terms of 
exact location and timeliness.

Subject: Weather apps revisited

Good morning.

I know several weather apps were discussed a while ago and I saved a list Robin 
provided.

I am needing to choose from these the most cost effective and accessible with 
VoiceOver, keeping in mind I am totally blind.

Most important for notifications are precipitation and lightning, particularly 
here in Florida as the summer storms appear about to begin this week.

Call blocking isn't working

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi,

I've blocked a phone number that repeatedly calls me on my iPhone, I'm
talking like every day and sometimes more than once. However, calls
from that number are still coming through.

Any idea why this could be happening?

Thanks,
Kimber

Can I change the colour of the Keyboard in iPhone?

[Mohib Anwar Rafay]

Hey all, I am a partially blind user. Whenever I start typing in an
edit box, the keyboard pops up, but visibly I can not feel the
difference as the colour theme of the keyboard is lite. If the
keyboard is in dark colour, I can perceive the popping up of the
keyboard. So any possibility of changing the colour of the keyboard
from lite to dark theme in my iPhone?

Re: Open in KNFB Reader + manual

[Richard Turner]

if you have the option to save the photo then you can use KNFB'S feature to 
"add picture from library" and try scanning it that way.
Remember though, the scan results are not going to be very good unless the 
picture is high quality with clear text.

Re: Weather apps revisited

If dark sky alerts to lightning, I've never gotten it to work. I use a free app

Re: iPhone seems to have died during update

[Feliciano Godoy]

Is the phone displaying connect to iTunes on the screen? It sounds like your 
iPhone got corrupted during the process. Hopefully you have a iCloud or iTunes 
back up. Last resort, you will have to get the iPhone in recovery mode and use 
the iTunes player on the computer to bring it back to life.

I am trying to pair my Braille Sense to my iPhone again. I had it once but lost 
it. Here is what I did:

1. Put the u2 in terminal mode.

2. Went to Braille settings in VO.

3. Double tapped on Braille Sense u2 not paired.

4. Entered  for my security code.

5. Double tapped on pair.

 

Now it just says pairing unsuccessful. The u2 won't prompt me for the code to 
put in. Can anyone lie Karl Smith chime in on this? Am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks,

Re: Why Would You Choose the KNFB Reader Over The Other Options?

[Richard Turner]

Krister,
Prizmo takes many steps to get a page scanned whether you use a stand use it 
free hand.
KNFB Reader takes one step whether you use a stand or use it free hand.
It still boils down to how much time a person wants to spend trying to get a 
good scan.
I use a stand only when I have multiple pages to scan.
I can lay a page on any surface, even just hold the page in one hand and the 
phone in the other and get a good scan in one try with KNFB reader.
But, if I'm doing several pages, it is much faster to put the phone on a stand 
and change pages with my hands free.
As I have said before, the Fopydo stand is my favorite stand, but others people 
prefer ScanJig or StandScan, it is all about personal choice.
Richard

 Hi, All!
 
 I also would like to sing great praises for the KNFB Reader app.  For
 years, I've used the Open Book with the Pearl camera on my PC and thought
 that was the cat's meow.  Well, I think very differently now.  The KNFB
 Reader has it all over the other scanners, in my opinion.  I've also
 tried Prizmo and had to use my StandScan Pro in order to scan properly.
 For one reason or another, I couldn't use it free-hand.  As someone
 eluded to earlier, when you have a page that's longer than the standard 8
 x 11 sheet, it's hard to put into the StandScan box, and reading it with
 the KNFB Reader was so much easier for me.  Just thought I'd put my 2
 cents' worth in here!  Thanks.

Re: is there a better way to send emails

[Christopher Chaltain]

I'm not sure what the easiest way to send a message is, but there's a 
compose button at the bottom of the screen when I'm in my in box, the 
list of mail boxes or any other mail box. It's the last button on the 
screen, so it's easy to find by just touching the bottom of the screen.

RE: Weather apps revisited

[Bill Outman]

Okay, that’s helpful.  

 

Here’s where I am in this process.  I bought NOAA Weather Radio a while back 
not having had any input on this, which allows me to hear the NWS broadcasts.  
This morning I picked up RainAlarm, a free one I can try for precipitation.  

 

I could not tell from it’s description whether DarkSky included lightning when 
I looked at it before.  

 

I could try the free one from the Weather Channel first; can I upgrade it to 
the paid version easily? How much extra does the lightning subscription for 
Weather Radio from Weather Decision cost?  Right now I have only about $7 in 
credit available on the card I use for app purchases until I make a payment 
next month, so I need to carefully plan my strategy.

Hi,

As I indicated before while the free app from The Weather channel offers alerts 
for both precipitation and lightning I’ve found that the paid apps Weather 
Radio from Weather Decision Technologies and Dark Sky from The Dark Sky Company 
are more accurate in my experience. I think the purchase of both apps including 
Weather Radio’s add on lightning subscription would top out at or under $15.

You could always try the free weather channel app out first to see if it works 
any more accurately for you first as it’s free. but in my experience as I said 
the other two paid options win the day hands down for accuracy in terms of 
exact location and timeliness.

I do hope that helps. Stay safe.

Good morning.  

 

I know several weather apps were discussed a while ago and I saved a list Robin 
provided.  

 

I am needing to choose from these the most cost effective and accessible with 
VoiceOver, keeping in mind I am totally blind.

 

Most important for notifications are precipitation and lightning, particularly 
here in Florida as the summer storms appear about to begin this week.

Hi,
But the big question then is why the knfb reader? I mean if you are going to 
get a Scanjig-stand or any other stand, then any other app would basically work 
just as well,so then it would be even less of a point with this app.

Are there any tips on how to use Facebook with voiceover is for his reading the newsfeed

[Jerry Mader]

Hi there. I'm having trouble trying to view some of my friends posts because my 
friends are radio and TV personalities who have fan pages and I could never 
find their post because of the new Facebook app. Pages manager does the same 
thing. I can never find my own post on my own page. How do you navigate this 
app so that youcan see what people are posting? I can't even use Facebook 
mentioned because I can't get my page verify even know why am an online radio 
personality they will not verify my page. My friend is a local TV reporter and 
they won't verify his either. Anyway my question is what can I do so that I can 
see some of my friends posts? Thank you. Jerry Mader

Re: Why Would You Choose the KNFB Reader Over The Other Options?

['Sandratomkins' via VIPhone]

Jewel,,
Just a suggestion for you: A stand of some sort is  ery useful with the KNFB 
app, especially for scanning books. However, luckily, we have a wealth of 
choice now! Don't jump for the ScanJig without checking out the competition. I 
have, for example, the StandScan Pro, which has a built in light source, is 
foldable and light-weight. This works for me, but I bought it before the advent 
of the "Fopydo" (I hope I have that spelled aright). The Fopydo plus book 
reading attachment is reckoned to be one of the best and cheapest to boot! 
Hopefully others will give their twopence worth.

Happy snapping! Sandy.

 Hi, Everyone.
 I know that the KNFB Reader is going to be on sale soon. For those 
 of you who have, and use it, why would you choose KNFB over all the 
 options that are VO- and blind-friendly?
 
 I'm on a really tight budget and don't have the money to try out all 
 the possibilities. I've wanted the 

Re: Why Would You Choose the KNFB Reader Over The Other Options?

['Sandratomkins' via VIPhone]

hi,
As far as I am aware the KNFB reader doesn't give orientation information, but 
there is a workaround… let's say you have a sheet of A4 and you want to know 
which way up it is for printing et cetera, Cover one half, bottom or top, with 
a blank sheet of paper and take a KNFB shot. if it is a letter, you would hear 
the address and the first part of the letter if you get the top of the sheet. 
if it is the bottom you will read the signature. you could do the same with the 
check, only do it left side or right side. The right hand side should give you 
the amount that the check is valid for. does this make sense? certainly, I 
would like to see the app giving us orientation information at some point in 
the future. Plus, I would like to see the app keep formatting information in 
the scanned files. this could be very useful, for  example, when one has to 
print out a page/form and then scan it and then rescan it.

 so I thought for this reason, the app could only be so good at scanning.

 The amazing thing is that you can get the same accuracy or possibly 
 better, just by holding your phone in your hand.  I just find the 
 KNFB Reader makes scanning things easier and quicker, therefore 
 making me be more efficient in getting things done.
 
 Yes, the app can be said to be a little pricey, but in comparison to 
 the cost of OCR software for your computer, it is just a fraction of 
 the price.  And since it is just as good, I will say that it is 
 definitely worth the cost.
 On top of the great job it does, it also has a lot of great 
 features, like being able to save documents to Dropbox.
 
 Of coarse all of this is just my opinion from all of the experience 
 I have had with the app.
 I hope this has been helpful.
