Apple Music question

[Roger Frischenmeyer]

Is there a way to remove all of my music from the cloud and start all over 
because I have A lot of corrupt songs many of which I recorded from old records 
and for some reason they didn't import to iTunes correctly so I need to do it 
again.

Re: News App Annoyance

[Brett]

Hi,


As far as I am aware, there's nothing you can do about this one. It 
seems that Apple haven't followed their accessibility programing 
guidance and have hard-coded this message instead of making it a hint, 
as it really should be.



If you feel bothered enough by it, perhaps consider writing to Apple 
accessibility.



Cheers,

Brett.

Siri volume is very low when alarm goes off

[Jeremy]

Hi all, 

on my iPhone 6S the Siri volume is very low in comparison to the general
VoiceOver volume. 

If I go into Settings > Sounds, then swipe down to "sound volume," if I
flick up or down this control changes the volume of my phone's ringer, but
it also changes the volume of the general VoiceOver volume. 

For example, with the sound volume set to 3%, if I use Siri to set an alarm
for 1 minute from now, when the alarm goes off, I hear the alarm sound, but
when I swipe back and forth around the screen, the VoiceOver volume is very
low. If I close that alarm screen the VoiceOver sound will automatically
return to normal. 

Is there a way of raising the VoiceOver speech when I press the Home button
and use Siri to set an alarm? 

This happens with and without a Bluetooth headset or earpiece. 

Please, absolutely all help will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you, 

JR

How to upload an iPhone video to Dropbox Public Folder

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

Hi,

I have a 7-minute iPhone video I'd like to add to my Dropbox folder.

I get to Save to Dropbox, and the option to Save or to Choose another Folder. 
When I clik on Choose another folder, no further options are given. When I 
click on Save, I get amessage, Unable to save to Dropbox (or something similar).

Can I do this? If so, how?

Thanks in advance,

Keith

RE: Blind Square and Four Square

[Chip Orange]

It might … but I thought they bought map data from NavTech or some company like 
that (at least they did for their other braille note products).

 

I don’t know enough about them, but I thought they charged a yearly fee, and I 
didn’t want to own them like that if that was the case.

However, I am really disappointed in Blind Square so far.

Yes, there could be a charge from Google to the app developer if you have a 
high enough volume of data queries, but it was very small, so charging a little 
something for the app should easily cover it.  I never had to pay anything.

 

Google would also give you all the POIs as well as the mapping data (I did in 
my app), so you would not have to use four square.  I think it would be a big 
improvement.

And I have to say it’s map data isn’t all that accurate in smaller towns which

Try Arriadne GPS for more accurate mapping data, but without the four square

Blindsquare uses 4 square’s database of pois.  You don’t have to have a 4

vibrate in different patterns, so you can tell a text from a call from a

I've had it now for about six months, and I still like it as much as when I 
first purchased it.

RE: Bluetooth Headphones

[Chip Orange]

They’re ear-buds; that is, there’s a button mushroom hard plastic piece which 
holds the speaker, and then there’s a silicon rubber tip which you slide into 
your ear.  It’s soft and comfortable, and you just push it in until it’s far 
enough to hold itself (so, nothing like Apple ear buds is what I’m saying).  
They give you a medium and a small set of tips.

 

I usually take cell calls, and work with Siri, with just one inserted, and only 
use both when I’m listening to music.

Hello, Dan.

I don't know what is triggering this gratuitous message nor do I know how
to eliminate it if you are flicking right through a message.  However, as
you may have discovered, continuously reading the article via the
"two-finger down" flick will not speak this message.  The article will

audo correct spelling on iOS using bluetooth keyboard with VoiceOver

[Shai]

Hello,
When I send text messages or emails using a bluetooth keyboard, I
notice that there are spelling suggestions which come up but I do not
know how to interact with these and select the correct suggestion or
cancel out of this area if I do not want any of the choices.  Has
anyone found a solution?
Thank you in advance for any responses

News App Annoyance

[Dan Rathburn]

Hello,

When using the native News app on my iPhone 6-plus,Voiceover says "Une the 
rotor to access headings" after selecting a story to read and advancing 
through it.  It happens whenever there is a break in the text like a title, 
paragraph, etc..  Using the rotor doesn't seem to help.


Thanks,

Dan

The nice thing about science is that it's true whether you believe in it or 
not.

Re: karaoke and voice and instrument training apps

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi,

I have an iPhone app that does a nice job stripping out vocals, depending on 
the song and how it's recorded. It's called VocalZap. It hasn't been updated in 
ages, and I couldn't find it in the app store, but if that one is gone, surely 
there's another that does something similar. I'm really sorry VocalZap appears 
to be gone, as it's accessible and works well.

Best,
Anna

Hi Kevin,

 

What’s BLE?

 

I didn’t even know this model existed, so I’m interested in how it’s different 
from the 900; thanks!

RE: Blind Square and Four Square

[Chip Orange]

I really wish we had a blind-friendly navigational GPS app which used Google 
map data; I don’t know why we don’t, the Google data is freely available (I 
wrote such an app for laptops running Window-Eyes, which had a GPS receiver).  
Yes, there could be a charge from Google to the app developer if you have a 
high enough volume of data queries, but it was very small, so charging a little 
something for the app should easily cover it.  I never had to pay anything.

 

Google would also give you all the POIs as well as the mapping data (I did in 
my app), so you would not have to use four square.  I think it would be a big 
improvement.

And I have to say it’s map data isn’t all that accurate in smaller towns which 
may not have a lot of OSM volunteers to correct it.  They need to allow people 
who are blind to submit corrections somehow.

 

Try Arriadne GPS for more accurate mapping data, but without the four square 
business info.

Blindsquare uses 4 square’s database of pois.  You don’t have to have a 4 
square account to use blindsquare but I think it helps you check into a place 
if you wish.  I don’t use the internals of 4 square so don’t know much about 
it.  Blindsquare uses open street maps for it’s map data.

RE: Bluetooth Headphones

[Chip Orange]

Hi,

It sits very loosely and lightly on your shoulders, and does not touch your 
neck, and so causes no sweat or discomfort.

I was employed at the time my wife picked it out, and she did so because it 
looks very professional (I have since retired); she liked the look of it far 
more than one which sits in your ear, or the bone conduction ones which sit on 
your head.  It's not completely invisible (you cannot cover it up with a shirt 
collar when you are actually talking on it because you'd be covering the 
microphone), but she says it's hardly noticable.  She says even if you wear a 
tie she's seen plenty of people dressed like that wearing these types of collar 
headsets.  

We both believe that bluetooth headsets are acceptible parts of business dress 
these days, but this is the most minimal headset we know of.

Also, I forgot to mention if you lay down your phone and forget it and start to 
walk off, the headset will begin vibrating as you walk out of range, keeping 
you from forgetting your phone.  Of course, you can turn off the audible ringer 
on the phone, and have the headset just vibrate when a call comes in.  It can 
vibrate in different patterns, so you can tell a text from a call from a 
special pattern you've assigned to certain contacts.

I've had it now for about six months, and I still like it as much as when I 
first purchased it.

Re: Spellchecking an email

[Chris Chaffin]

The feature is called auto correct, and I think it is turned on by default.
To turn it off, go to settings / general / keyboard.
Swipe right until you hear, auto correct, and it should say selected.  Just 
double tap it to unselect it and turn it off.

Hope this helps,

Chris

YouTube also has videos for singing and piano technique.

through auto tuning. All the NeoSpeech voices sound a lot smoother when 
they

speak, at least in my oppinion. However, this is why we have choice, and
it's great to see so many options in Voice Dream Reader.


Thanks,
Ari

I

also sometimes use Bridget from NeoSpeech on occasion, but I have her

255.

Re: Looking for talking clock app.

[Gordan Radić]

  
  
Hi!
Not sure what do you mean. I have announcements set for every 60
minutes with male English voice.
I also have set the appointment time between 7 AM and 9 PM for
silencing the clock over night and I turned off notifications so I
don't see them on the lock screen.
And that's it.
And for everybody else, there are Voice Over Stopwatch and Voice
Over Timer from the same author but I didn't quite figured out how
are they working, the settings are confusing with no documentation
on how they work.


  S poštovanjem

  Hi!

The Voice Over Clock is free and easy to use. You can set it to
announce

the time as you wish but I'm not sure does it only speak or it
has

sounds besides speech. It speaks in English, German, Spanish and

Japanese and I believe it uses iOS system speech.

The other one is Cqo Clock or something like that but when I was
using

it it required to be opened for time announcements.

The Voice Over Clock, when started can be removed from the App
Switcher

and it still works.

Hello list,
  
  
  I am very sory I keep asking this question, but I stil haven't
  found
  
  the app.
  
  
  Please is there any talking clock app for Iphone with
  following
  
  functions available?
  
  
  1. To make a sound and say the time every 15 minutes.
  
  
  2. To say the time in either British,American or any other
  natural
  
  voice (no Voiceover).
  
  
  I know there are apps like that for Windows computers, but I
  have not
  
  found any for Iphones.
  
  
  If anyone knows of any app, either free or paid, please let me
  know.
  
  
  Thank you for your help in advance.
  
  
  Have a great weekend.
  
  
  With kind regards
  
  
      Maria
