Re: A Question for Facebook App Users Regarding the Viewing of Timeline or Group Feeds in Chronological Order

This may be a new feature you have to go into settings to fix.  One option

or Group Feeds in Chronological Order




Hello Everyone,

It seems that when I view a group feed in the Facebook app, the individual
member posts are not necessarily sorted into chronological order, from
newest to oldest.

Is there a way to sort either my timeline feed or group feeds into
chronological order?

The steps I use to view a group feed is as follows:

1.
From within the Facebook app, select the More tab, located near the bottom
right corner of the display.

2.
Select Groups.

3.
Select a group, of which I am a member.

All replies appreciated.

Re: Another good Voice Dream Reader voice.

[Gary Petraccaro]

I downloaded one of the Grimm related novels from BookShare.  One of the 
characters is named Whu (believe that's the spelling).  For whatever reason 
no voice I tried regardless of group of voice could handle the name and the 
reading of that writing style was unlistenable.
I tried to follow the punctuation but couldn't get the VDR to read the 
characters and punctuation so I could follow it.  I'm not making a comment 
on the voices or the software.  It's probably my lack of proficiency in 
handling the software that got in the way of my figuring out what was 
causing the problem with the reading in general.

I really haven't gotten into different voices, figuring that I can
adjust to most anything, and that different voices are very subjective
to each person listening and what they like or don't like. However,
with this discussion, I went back and browsed through all the
available voices; wow! I ended up getting James, and after my wife
heard him, she was very surprised that it was a TTS voice and not
someone speaking. She liked Sally the best. So now I've got some
choice when I want to read files or BookShare books. BTW, thanks to
the people that have pointed out that BookShare is very easy to browse
and download from, I never realized. I just might extend my BookShare
membership on that fact alone, grin.

Update on facebook texting

[Kerri Stovall]

Hi all,
Well, I wrote the other day, and for some reason, I've been having problems 
reading the list messages I've been receiving, so I'm not sure if anyone 
responded on the topic I sent a message about last week regarding my problem 
with getting texts from fb even though I had it set up. Well, I saw that my 
husband is still receiving them just fine, and we're on a mobile share plan, so 
still not receiving them is strange. I compared my settings on fb and in both 
of our phones, and they're all the same. So, if it's not the carrier, then it 
couldn't be fb unless I have a hidden setting somewhere that I'm not aware of. 
I'm trying to think of things I've changed or thisings that may have changed 
when it stopped, but  nothing is coming to mind. Any more ideas and suggestions 
would be great! 
Kerri

However, I am looking for a news source, that is reliable, and pretty

but I was not very impressed with it.


I would like an application that would let me play audio, as well as let

Is this possible? If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate

Thank you,

 There's something called the FitBit Blaze, which gives you some

 basic smart watch, but that's not very important to me, as it's probably

There are certain Netflix shows that are listed on Netflix's website as well as

audio options, there is no audio description option for them. The example I am

RE: Southwest airlines wifi

[Richard Petty]

A year ago SW was offering some aspects of their WiFi at no  charge. You were 
supposed to be able to just log in. So I tried to use it. I arrived at a button 
to continue. I double tapped in an effort to move beyond that screen, but 
nothing I did ever let me go further. I'm sorry for the sketchy description; 
it's been a while. I didn't report it. It was a busy time and I just didn't 
want to pursue it.

RE: Interesting problem when charging phone

[Pinky]

Hi Terri,
Have you ever turned your phone off and then power it back up? If you have not 
give that a try. I had a person having issues with her phone that she had for 
around eight months or so and she had never turned it off. She did not even 
know how to turn it off. I told her how to turn it off and power it back up and 
all her issues were solved.

Subject: Interesting problem when charging phone

Hello,

I have an interesting problem, when charging my 5S. I was wondering if anyone 
else might be experiencing this issue? If I try to use my phone when it is at 
about 94, 96% charged, it really won't function. It will talk, but for instance 
I will have trouble unlocking it. If I am able to get it unlocked, I might not 
get the apps to open. If I leave it, say overnight, and let it charge Julie, to 
100%, it is perfectly fine. No I haven't tried messing with it when it is still 
plugged in at 100%. So I can't say how it would Eric then. But does anyone know 
what is causing this?
Does anyone else seem to have this problem?
Is there anything I can possibly do about it, or it is it just some strange bug?

Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Terri

Re: My verizon app

[Candy Lowe]

My sighted husband got me past the videos.  Now everything is fine.  I think 
the problem is that I called and changed to the new verizon plan, and that is 
why they had all of the videos.  But, as someone else, said, you can't use all 
of the new features if you don't change the plan.  Apparently, you can save 
your unused data, but, only the data from the month before.  In other words, 
you can't accumulate a bunch of data.  I still don't understand it totally, 
but, I am going to work on that today since I don't have to work.

composing tweets blocked

[david gross]

Using my Iphone 6 plus with voiceover, I have both the native twitter app, and 
twitterific.
On both apps, when I try to compose a tweet, using less than 140 characters, vo 
tells me the tweet button is unavailable.
There are various radio buttons for photo library, gif library, tweet location, 
etc.
I cannot figure out why I am blocked from initiatig my own tweets, but I am 
able to send replys to incoming tweets.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Re: Fit Bit [was "Re: Disable caller's name spoken when phone rings"]

[Esther Levegnale]

Hi, Keith!

As far as the heart rate goes, it'll give you a resting heart rate when you're 
just standing, sitting, etc., and then when you do your exercise, it'll 
increase, of course, and it might say "Fat-burn zone".  Then when it goes up 
higher it'll say "CardioZone".  Then when you increase your heart rate even 
further, it'll say "Peak zone", or something similar to that.  I hope I 
clarified this with you.

 There's something called the FitBit Blaze, which gives you some

 basic smart watch, but that's not very important to me, as it's probably 
 not going to be accessible, like the Apple Watch would be. And I've got my

RE: Help with iTunes

[Richard Turner]

The latest is 12.4.3...
Most of it is not nearly as usable as it used to be.

I'm not sure if searching for the particular album would get it into focus so 
you could do what you want to do.  Worth a try.
Then, contact both Freedom Scientific and Apple Accessibility about getting 
iTunes back to being more accessible.

Good luck,
Richard

Re: cutting and pasting text

['RobH.' via VIPhone]

the original text file needs to be in an editing mode for the edit rotor 
feature to appear.  At least, that's how it used to work.

When I play DiceWorld, I no longer get my push notifications. I've checked 
the settings in the app as well as the settings in Notifications on the

notice this with other apps like Newsify and Overcast.

However, I am looking for a news source, that is reliable, and pretty

but I was not very impressed with it.


I would like an application that would let me play audio, as well as let

Is this possible? If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate

RE: Fit Bit [was "Re: Disable caller's name spoken when phone rings"]

Hi,

How much of the Heart Rate info is accessible? Will it give you a good sense of 
heart rate variability over an afternoon, or just spot heart rate readings? I'm 
interested in getting the most heart rate information as possible.

Hi, Ari!

I have the Charge HR and love it!  Yes, you can find out what the battery 
status is when you touch the name of your Fitbit device, then double-tap on it, 
and VoiceOver will say the name of the device, the version number of the app 
and the status of the battery such as full, medium or low.  Another trick I do 
is not to wear the Fitbit on my arm, but when I tie my shoelace into a bow, I 
push the Fitbit through the tied portion of my shoelace.  I seem to get better 
results for steps with the device on my foot.  Call it cheating?  LOL!  Well, I 
just get more steps from wearing it on my foot then on my arm.  When I exercise 
on the bike, though, I place the Fitbit on my arm so as not to get it caught in 
the pedals.  Then, as I Pedal, I place my Fitbit hand on my thigh so that it 
registers.  Hope this helps and good luck!  You'll love this Fitbit.

All the best,
Esther Levegnale

Netflix Shows

[Kelby Carlson]

There are certain Netflix shows that are listed on Netflix's website as well as 
the ACB that are supposed to have audio description. However, when I go to the 
audio options, there is no audio description option for them. The example I am 
thinking of is The Office. Has anyone else had this problem?

Re: why do people use voicedream reader just curious

When you listen to your Old radio shows, do you import them to Dropbox? 
That's what I've done with audio files. Just wondering if you do them

RE: cutting and pasting text

Once you have the file open in the Dropbox app you should be able to turn the 
rotor to "Edit", then flick up or down with one finger until you find "Select 
All", double tap at that point. Now open whatever app you want to paste the 
text to, turn the rotor to edit again and flick up or down until you find 
"Paste" then double tap.

Subject: Interesting problem when charging phone

Hello,

I have an interesting problem, when charging my 5S. I was wondering if 
anyone else might be experiencing this issue? If I try to use my phone when 
it is at about 94, 96% charged, it really won't function. It will talk, but 
for instance I will have trouble unlocking it. If I am able to get it 
unlocked, I might not get the apps to open. If I leave it, say overnight, 
and let it charge Julie, to 100%, it is perfectly fine. No I haven't tried 
messing with it when it is still plugged in at 100%. So I can't say how it 
would Eric then. But does anyone know what is causing this?

Does anyone else seem to have this problem?
Is there anything I can possibly do about it, or it is it just some strange 
bug?


Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Terri

I would like an application that would let me play audio, as well as let

Hello Gordon,

To quickly refresh the Twitter feed, as well as other apps that observe this 
control, with the app in focus, simply place focus on the status line of 
your iOS device, then, single-finger, double-tap the status line.  This will 
immediately move app focus to the first item in the feed as well as

Re: Amedia Live Reader

[Monica Jones]

Yes, it sounds like you do yours the same way I do, but I’ve never gotten it to 
work with any other app except KNFB. I haven’t tried this one yet, but I may 
just to see if I have become better. (smile)

My biggest problem with shooting any kind of picture is that when I have the 
phone held in a hand, or even both, I have hand tremors. What I do to 
compensate for this is braced the phone against my chin, which helps immensely. 
I also use Seighard's tip placing the corner where the phone's camera is as 
close to the exact middle of the page as possible, then lift The phone up as 
evenly as I can. Then I use the field of you report to check how well I've 
done, and then shoot the picture. This is where bracing the phone against my 
chin really helps. Also, I use the split-tap method to activate the buttons, as 
double-tapping them tends to make the phone move.


Thanks,
Ari

  Hi Krister,

   

  I must agree with Sandy in that you have gotten plenty of help. I have been 
reading this thread and several people have explained exactly what they do to 
make it work. I think Ron explained how he is holding the phone with both 
elbows on the side of the page they want to scan which gives you pretty much 
the correct distance etc. I also remember replying to you in the past 
explaining that I usually put the phone down on the page with the touchscreen 
facing up so that the corner of the phone where the back camera is located is 
approx. in the middle of the page. At first it may be helpful to fold the page 
lightly in half in both directions since where those two folds meet is exactly 
the centre of the page. If you do this a few times and check the distance of 
the left and bottom edge of the page to the left and bottom edge of the phone 
you quickly get an idea on how the phone should be positioned. Once I have it 
more or less lined up with the page I grip the edges with my right hand and 
lift the phone straight up and away from the page to a height of about 10 or 12 
inches. I think you are in Sweden, so that would be 25 to 30 cm or about the 
length of an 8.5x11 or A4 size page. It’s almost better to lift it a few inches 
higher than not high enough. At that point you can do your field of view report 
or correct any tilt if the phone is vibrating and take your picture. It was 
also pointed out several times that practicing when you have a sighted person 
around who can correct you is very helpful.

   

  To me it sounds like you haven’t been able to get good results and even 
though people have replied and explained what they do (Ron, Sandy, myself and 
others) you are at this point sarcastic and cynical about it.

Hi Gordon,

 

I would like to add my voice to Anne's here! I think it was both she 
and I who first championed the use of Prizmo, some years  back, using the old 4 
phone!! Certainly, at first it was a challenge, but we did get some results 
which would, at the very least, give one a good over-view of what was on the 
paper. When the KNFB app came out, or rather, when the hype leading up to its 
coming out, was at its hottest and they said "we won't be charging a lot for 
it", only to then announce that it would cost a wacking 100 Dollars, I decided 
I would never buy it, seeing it as one more example of the "rip-off" of the 
adaptive market. However, within a day or so of its appearing on the app store, 
I read sufch glowing reports of the app that I swallowed my pride and bought 
it. I have found it to be truly liberating! True, in those days I could see 
enough to tell if the targeted sheet was roughly on the screen, which helped 
emensely! but now, and for the last 2 years, I have had no sight at all, not 
even light, which used to be so useful in gaging the right ambience for taking 
shots, I am within 5 percent of my earlier success.

 

I take shots, on the fly, such as in restaurants, from a sitting 
position, just raising one hand, not making any special effort, (not choosing 
to make too much of an exhibition of myself) of menus and have

Hey guys,
OK, i need some help here, just cause i haven't done it.  I have a text 
file that i wrote in notepad in the PC, and it is saved to dropbox.  It 
looks like i can open that file on the iphone.  How do i copy all the 
text from that file, in to the clipboard on the phone and paste it in to 
another app, any ideas?

  In the United States, where I am, if I buy a print book, I can send proof

  I don't know anything about the laws in the UK.
  But, yes, 60 pounds a year is a bit crazy when a sighted person can buy 
the hymnal with music for less than $30 and the words only copy for less than 
$20.
  I certainly understand the frustration.

Re: Fit Bit [was "Re: Disable caller's name spoken when phone rings"]

[Esther Levegnale]

Hi, Ari!

I have the Charge HR and love it!  Yes, you can find out what the battery 
status is when you touch the name of your Fitbit device, then double-tap on it, 
and VoiceOver will say the name of the device, the version number of the app 
and the status of the battery such as full, medium or low.  Another trick I do 
is not to wear the Fitbit on my arm, but when I tie my shoelace into a bow, I 
push the Fitbit through the tied portion of my shoelace.  I seem to get better 
results for steps with the device on my foot.  Call it cheating?  LOL!  Well, I 
just get more steps from wearing it on my foot then on my arm.  When I exercise 
on the bike, though, I place the Fitbit on my arm so as not to get it caught in 
the pedals.  Then, as I Pedal, I place my Fitbit hand on my thigh so that it 
registers.  Hope this helps and good luck!  You'll love this Fitbit.

All the best,
Esther Levegnale

 And there are a number of relatively inexpensive Bluetooth wristbands out 
 there which will wake you up with vibration and I don't think that sort of 
 vibration will be as noticeable as when a phone vibrates especially if it 
 is lying on a hard surface such as a wooden night table.

Hello,

I have an interesting problem, when charging my 5S. I was wondering if anyone 
else might be experiencing this issue? If I try to use my phone when it is at 
about 94, 96% charged, it really won't function. It will talk, but for instance 
I will have trouble unlocking it. If I am able to get it unlocked, I might not 
get the apps to open. If I leave it, say overnight, and let it charge Julie, to 
100%, it is perfectly fine. No I haven't tried messing with it when it is still 
plugged in at 100%. So I can't say how it would Eric then. But does anyone know 
what is causing this?
Does anyone else seem to have this problem?
Is there anything I can possibly do about it, or it is it just some strange bug?

Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Re: Reliable, and accessible, news applications

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestions. I did not even think about the Apple news app, 
and it is right here on my phone. Silly me!

I did and one of my candles local candles. I haven't tested out too much. But 
it might work all right. Thank you for that suggestion as well, because I would 
not have thought about that. I think they only run DMC will live feed, when the 
news is on. But they show written article at other times. So that would work 
for me. Plus, they will give me updates on breaking news in the area. I like 
that.
Thank you again,

Terri

Re: Reliable, and accessible, news applications

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello there,

The NPR news app for a while. For a couple of years, actually. It worked fine, 
but then it started acting weird, and wouldn't play stuff. So I deleted it.

Maybe if I install it, it will work better now.
Thank you for the suggestion. I really appreciate it.

Re: accessible hymnal app?

[Caitlyn Furness]

Might another option be to put the words into a text file, one file for each 
song?

I did this with songs from church and put them into braille for myself, now all 
I have to do is take the relevant ones with me each week..

 Christian Book Distributers sells a words only edition. What about 
 contacting the publisher to see if you could get a text version, then you 
 could put it into Voice Dream Reader, and read it that way, or another app.

Re: Stop Voiceover From Reading Texts

[Rajmund]

Hello,
If and when you unlock,  though, Voice over will read them, as they show up, 
but they wouldn't be read until you unlock the screen. It saved me from 
embarrassment in the past.

If I turn off the locked screen notification, that means I would not see the

Re: Stop Voiceover From Reading Texts

[Gordon]

You're going to want to go into the notifications area in settings and 
go to the messaging app. Turn off where it says show on lock screen. 
This will keep it from turning the screen on and reading the message. If 
it's interrupting you while you're doing something with the phone, turn 
off the show badges as well.

Re: Another good Voice Dream Reader voice.

[englishrider91]

That $50 a year is the best investment for me! And being able to take all those 
books with me on the device I use the most, and be able to read them using my 
favorite, voices is even better!


Thanks,
Ari

Re: Fit Bit [was "Re: Disable caller's name spoken when phone rings"]

[englishrider91]

Awesome! This device is going on my wishlist! One important question I have is 
about how to check the battery status. Can you do this through the app? Also, 
is there an accessible user manual on-line somewhere?


Thanks,

Hi, is there a way for Voiceover to not automatically read text messages

Re: Reliable, and accessible, news applications

From: Terri Stimmel

Subject: Reliable, and accessible, news applications

Hello to all of you,

I am sure this have been discussed before.
However, I am looking for a news source, that is reliable, and pretty much 
fully accessible. Does anything like this exist? I tried using CNN, but I 
was not very impressed with it.


I would like an application that would let me play audio, as well as let me 
read articles.

Is this possible? If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

Terri
