Re: Finding my Lost IPhone

[Richard Turner]

If you have access to another iDevice, you can sign in to find my iPhone with 
your ID and find it that way if it has power.
I hope you find it.

Re: Fleksy

[Michael Maslo]

 
 
Hello, I have both Fleksy downloaded installed and using them. I like Fleksy 
vo. I am right now typing with the regular Fleksy and it is all right. I looked 
in the app store and it showed it had not been updated since April of this 
year. I wonder why or what happened that it is not being developed. There are 
not many keyboards for us who are blind who want to type fast. Sometimes 
dictation is not feasible or practical. Especially depending on content of what 
is being said.  
   
 
 

 
 
   This 
(https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id922793622?pt=814382=8=how_i_email)
  is how I Email now

Re: Contact details

[Kelly Pierce]

You can do both.  A binary choice is a false one.  the purpose of the
relationship status is to help in searching contacts.  do Kate and
David have parents?  It would be better to delineate the relationship
between you and the parents of David and Kate and list David and Kate
as the son and daughter of the parents.  Apple then can reference them
as siblings and their children as grandchildren of the parents.  the
grandchildren are also cousins to each other.  remember, the
relationship feature is intended to be hierarchical so the oldest
living member of the family should be listed  and the relationships go
down the family tree from there.

Re: Finding my Lost IPhone

[Kelly Pierce]

Sorry to hear about your potential loss.  If you have the find my
iPhone utility downloaded from the app store, turned on, signed in and
active in your app switcher, you can locate your device through iCloud
at:

https://www.icloud.com/#find


It shows a map and not a street address so sighted help will be
needed. I hope this nightmare gets resolved successfully.

How do I get back to my kindle bookshelf?

[Olivia Norman]

I forgot to mention that the menu appears but there's no option there to get 
back to my bookshelf. I see viewing options, the location I am at in the book, 
notebook, but no home or library buttons to be found.
This worked prior to the last update though I needed sighted help finding the 
button at first because flicking through the menu didn't take me to it.
I memorized where to  find the button but since the last update the button 
appears to have moved or disappeared. Neither flicking or exploring the screen 
by dragging a finger across the screen works.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Olivia

Re: Fleksy

[candyrlowe]

Michael,
I have the old Flecksy V O app, but, I know it is not in the app store any 
more.  This makes me think that it is probably not being developed any more.  I 
never had much luck with the regular flecksy app, but, I do sometimes use the 
Flecksy V O app.

Re: Audible two for one sale cart on the iPhone

[Mary Otten]

I know it's easy to do on the PC. My problem is that all of the emails these 
days, and HTML. And my PC is so old, and his email client is sold, that that 
just doesn't work for me anymore. I have that PC because it has braille 
software on it that I need to emboss stuff every week. It will eventually die. 
And I will have to do something about it. In the meantime, the PC is off-limits 
for an a lot of things.

AirPods with Apple Watch and iPhone 6 running voiceover.

[Chuck Dean]

Hello,

Is anyone having any success using the AirPods with an Apple Watch running 
voiceover, and an iPhone 6 running VoiceOver? 

I have tried to use the Airpods, but the lag between when the iPods connect 
each device is incredibly long. Much longer than any other Bluetooth device 
I have.

Also the voiceover speech on the Apple Watch is very sporadic through the 
Airpods.

 Is this something that I am doing wrong?
Chuck

Hi Mary,

I get 2 books for 1 credit or sometimes 3 books for 2 credits offers quite

respect to adding 2 or 3 books and then to checkout using either 1 or 2

RE: Editing account on Uber App on iPhone?

[Alan Lemly]

Jim,

 

I'm not using nearly the latest version of Uber but in version 2.152.9 which 
I'm using, here are the steps to change your account email:

 

1.   Open the Uber app.

2.   Double tap the account menu button in the upper left of the home screen.

3.   Swipe through the menu items which open until reaching settings and double 
tap.

4.   The screen that opens for me has my picture at the top followed by my name 
followed by an edit account button which you should double tap.

5.   A screen opens where you must enter your Uber account password in a secure 
text field.

6.   The screen which opens lets you change your photo, your first and last 
names, your email, and your mobile phone number.

 

Good luck.

 

Alan

Subject: Editing account on Uber App on iPhone?

Good morning,

 

As those of us who use Uber know, the app has been updated and is fairly 
accessible.  However, does anyone know how to edit some account settings?

I’m specifically trying to edit or change my email address but can’t seem to 
find where to do it.

I went to settings, and tapped on my name.  There, I saw “Edit Account 
Settings.”  So far so good.

Then, there’s a blank or unlabeled button and to the right of that is my phone 
number.

I tapped on the unlabeled button, and nothing happened.  I tapped on my phone 
number, and it wanted to verify my password.  I typed it in.  It then showed me 
my phone number and said that a verification code would be sent to the phone.  
The only choices I got though were “back” or “Update Phone.”  I tapped on 
“Update Phone” and nothing happened after that.

So, what am I doing wrong, or what do I need to do?

I need to update my email address on that account, and it looks like I can only 
do it from the app and not on the actual web site.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim

RE: Question about sharing apps

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Denise,

Go to Settings > iCloud > Family and then tap on the "add" button.
It's been quite a while since I set up family sharing with my wife, but I think 
you probably have to enter your husband's Apple Id, he'll get an email and has 
to accept it or something along these lines.
Also, keep in mind that once you set up family sharing then whichever credit 
card is on file with iTunes for your account will also become the payment 
method for your husband. If he initiates family sharing then his payment method 
becomes yours. The only way for somebody to pay for their apps when part of 
family sharing is to buy an iTunes gift card and to then redeem the balance 
with the Apple Id to be used. For example, if you set him up as a family member 
he can buy an iTunes gift card and put that balance on his account, then any 
apps he buys will first come off that balance.
If you have Apple Music you could also get the family membership which is only 
$5 more and each person still gets their own recommendations, preferences and 
so on.

Good luck,
Sieghard

Hi Helga,

If you share an app the way you describe it simply means the person you are 
sending the app to will receive a link to that app in the app store. If the app 
is a paid app and if that person is not part of your Family Plan they will have 
to buy the app, you cannot share a paid app with somebody who is not on your 
family plan. The "Share" button simply facilitates sending somebody the link 
for an app so they can find it easier.

Each app says at the very bottom of its description (below the price and all 
that) whether it allows family sharing or not, it will say "Family Sharing: 
Yes" or "Family Sharing: No". Most apps do allow for family sharing.

Sieghard

Neato app problems

[Chip Orange]

Hi all,

 

I remember several of you mentioned that the Neato app wasn't very
accessible, and that when contacted, Neato support wasn't really promising
to look into it or to get it done any time soon.

 

Below is an article from Kim Komando mentioning 6 unknown Amazon Alexa
features you may not know about, and one of them was the ability to start
the Neato vac cleaning your house, when you had the app installed on your
phone.  I'd suggest that those interested in this, add a comment to the
article mentioning that the Neato app isn't accessible to the visually
impaired, and when contacted the company didn't seem all that interested in
solving this problem.  I believe it's this type of publicity which causes
change to happen.

I did add such a comment myself.

 

Hth,

 

Chip

Re: Getting back to my kindle bookshelf?

[Michael Feir]

Hello. From within a book, first do a double-tap which brings up the menu
button plus other options. You then need to get to the menu button on the
top left and double-tap it. This brings up the larger menu which includes
the library option. Double-tap on that to get out of your book and into the
library. That major menu has other things too which aren't present in the
minor menu reached by double-tapping the first time from within the book.
For one thing, instead of taking the library option, flick right and you
can go through a table of contents provided a book has one. Hope this helps
you out.

RE: Question about sharing apps

It says the app has family sharing, but how do I initiate that to get it on to 
my husband’s phone.

Hi Helga,

 

If you share an app the way you describe it simply means the person you are 
sending the app to will receive a link to that app in the app store. If the app 
is a paid app and if that person is not part of your Family Plan they will have 
to buy the app, you cannot share a paid app with somebody who is not on your 
family plan. The "Share" button simply facilitates sending somebody the link 
for an app so they can find it easier.

 

Each app says at the very bottom of its description (below the price and all 
that) whether it allows family sharing or not, it will say "Family Sharing: 
Yes" or "Family Sharing: No". Most apps do allow for family sharing.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Re: Audible two for one sale cart on the iPhone

[Yolanda Thompson]

I finally achieved a purchase with the two for one sale on the iPhone.
1.  Sign in.  It makes all the difference to sign in first.
2.  If you have left your browser, you will need to choose the books
once more.  So add them again.
3.  After they are added, touch the address bar, and flick left.  You
will hear a "proceed to checkout button"
4.  After activating that button, touch the address bar once more and
flick left to the "confirm purchase" button.
If you want to see the details of your order, you will need to touch
the address bar once more and flick left.
I hope this helps.  It was a nuisance to figure out.

RE: iGrill Questions

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi,

Has anyone had any issues pairing their phone with the iGrill Mini?

We have had the Mini for a couple of years now, and when it used to work with 
the iDevices app, I was able to pair it with my phone.  Now that you need to 
use it with the Weber app, it is not seeing the Mini.  My husband is able to 
pair it with his android phone.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Ari,
I think Blind Bargains talked about the iGrill Mini in one of their podcasts, 
but I don’t think they did one just on it.
My wife is sighted, so when I got mine, I had help with it.
Like many devices with the battery installed, you have to first remove the 
strip of material preventing contact so the battery doesn’t drain and that is 
pretty easy.

The base provides two functions.  First it is a handy way to keep the cord from 
getting all tangled when not in use.  The cord wraps around the base.
The base also works as a mount for the iGrill Mini.  It has some adhesive tape 
on the bottom that if you want to mount it somewhere where a sighted person can 
easily see it or just to have a place to keep it out of the way and not in a 
drawer, you can stick it on a clean, smooth surface.
I just put the iGrill Mini on the base and keep it in a drawer.
I do not recommend following their temperature guidelines.  I think they are a 
bit low for meat.  For example, I like my steak medium.  According to the 
iGrill Mini, that would be 155 degrees Fahrenheit.  That is too rare for me.  
165 is much more like medium to me.  It still is plenty pink in the middle.
I used the iGrill Mini for cooking a steak on the George Foreman grill.
I set it to 160 to test it and it worked perfectly.  I had my wife double check 
the doneness, and then let it get to 165 before taking it off.

Then, she who likes her steak medium well to well done, put the probe in her 
steak and let it get to 180.

I have not yet used it in the oven, but that will be next.

The app could be labeled better, and once I get it all sorted out I may do a 
podcast of sorts, or at least detailed written instructions.

Wow, Richard! Thanks for a link to the PDF, as well as pasting those 
quick-start directions in to your email! I've seriously been wanting an iGrill, 
and when I do, I'm sure I'll find your email useful. In fact, I'm going to use 
the link you posted to download that manual in to the Manuals folder in Voice 
Dream Reader, so I can have it handy when the time comes to really get serious 
about learning exactly how the iGrill works. In the meantime, the manual will 
probably help me understand how it works a bit better. For example, I'm a bit 
confused as to the function of the base part mentioned in the quick-start 
directions.

 you know of any blindness-specific podcasts that do an unboxing/demonstration 
of the iGrill Mini?


Thanks,
Ari

RE: Camera flash sounds on IPhone 7

[Sieghard Weitzel]

First of all, if you turn it off in the camera app it stays off.
Live photo takes a very brief video, but it is still a jpg file yet it moves 
just a bit and can include a second or so of sound. If you took a live photo 
and said just at the right time what the picture is in 2 or 3 words it would 
say this when you "Play" the photo.

Hope this works for you.

RE: Question about sharing apps

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Helga,

If you share an app the way you describe it simply means the person you are 
sending the app to will receive a link to that app in the app store. If the app 
is a paid app and if that person is not part of your Family Plan they will have 
to buy the app, you cannot share a paid app with somebody who is not on your 
family plan. The "Share" button simply facilitates sending somebody the link 
for an app so they can find it easier.

Each app says at the very bottom of its description (below the price and all 
that) whether it allows family sharing or not, it will say "Family Sharing: 
Yes" or "Family Sharing: No". Most apps do allow for family sharing.

Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: Editing account on Uber App on iPhone?

Good morning,

 

As those of us who use Uber know, the app has been updated and is fairly 
accessible.  However, does anyone know how to edit some account settings?

I’m specifically trying to edit or change my email address but can’t seem to 
find where to do it.

I went to settings, and tapped on my name.  There, I saw “Edit Account 
Settings.”  So far so good.

Then, there’s a blank or unlabeled button and to the right of that is my phone 
number.

I tapped on the unlabeled button, and nothing happened.  I tapped on my phone 
number, and it wanted to verify my password.  I typed it in.  It then showed me 
my phone number and said that a verification code would be sent to the phone.  
The only choices I got though were “back” or “Update Phone.”  I tapped on 
“Update Phone” and nothing happened after that.

So, what am I doing wrong, or what do I need to do?

I need to update my email address on that account, and it looks like I can only 
do it from the app and not on the actual web site.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim

Hi everyone,

Thank you again for all the suggestions.  What I discovered was that I
was covering the lense with my finger when trying to take a picture.
I don't remember which setting I changed that allowed me to discover
that I was covering the lense but knfb reader said that the lense was
covered.  I also printed a standard .txt file from my computer to use
as a test page.

I have successfully scanned and read it several times. I also
discovered that the split tap gesture is most successful for me to
take the picture.

RE: Editing account on Uber App on iPhone?

Good morning,

 

As those of us who use Uber know, the app has been updated and is fairly 
accessible.  However, does anyone know how to edit some account settings?

I’m specifically trying to edit or change my email address but can’t seem to 
find where to do it.

I went to settings, and tapped on my name.  There, I saw “Edit Account 
Settings.”  So far so good.

Then, there’s a blank or unlabeled button and to the right of that is my phone 
number.

I tapped on the unlabeled button, and nothing happened.  I tapped on my phone 
number, and it wanted to verify my password.  I typed it in.  It then showed me 
my phone number and said that a verification code would be sent to the phone.  
The only choices I got though were “back” or “Update Phone.”  I tapped on 
“Update Phone” and nothing happened after that.

So, what am I doing wrong, or what do I need to do?

I need to update my email address on that account, and it looks like I can only 
do it from the app and not on the actual web site.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim

Oh I can tell you is that this is not an accessibility problem. I have worked

You can also use the up volume button on the side to take the picture if that

I have successfully scanned and read it several times. I also
discovered that the split tap gesture is most successful for me to
take the picture.

Editing account on Uber App on iPhone?

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,

 

As those of us who use Uber know, the app has been updated and is fairly
accessible.  However, does anyone know how to edit some account settings?

I'm specifically trying to edit or change my email address but can't seem to
find where to do it.

I went to settings, and tapped on my name.  There, I saw "Edit Account
Settings."  So far so good.

Then, there's a blank or unlabeled button and to the right of that is my
phone number.

I tapped on the unlabeled button, and nothing happened.  I tapped on my
phone number, and it wanted to verify my password.  I typed it in.  It then
showed me my phone number and said that a verification code would be sent to
the phone.  The only choices I got though were "back" or "Update Phone."  I
tapped on "Update Phone" and nothing happened after that.

So, what am I doing wrong, or what do I need to do?

I need to update my email address on that account, and it looks like I can
only do it from the app and not on the actual web site.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim

Hi everyone,

Thank you again for all the suggestions.  What I discovered was that I

I don't remember which setting I changed that allowed me to discover
that I was covering the lense but knfb reader said that the lense was
covered.  I also printed a standard .txt file from my computer to use

RE: iGrill Questions

[Richard Turner]

Hi Ari,
I think Blind Bargains talked about the iGrill Mini in one of their podcasts, 
but I don’t think they did one just on it.
My wife is sighted, so when I got mine, I had help with it.
Like many devices with the battery installed, you have to first remove the 
strip of material preventing contact so the battery doesn’t drain and that is 
pretty easy.

The base provides two functions.  First it is a handy way to keep the cord from 
getting all tangled when not in use.  The cord wraps around the base.
The base also works as a mount for the iGrill Mini.  It has some adhesive tape 
on the bottom that if you want to mount it somewhere where a sighted person can 
easily see it or just to have a place to keep it out of the way and not in a 
drawer, you can stick it on a clean, smooth surface.
I just put the iGrill Mini on the base and keep it in a drawer.
I do not recommend following their temperature guidelines.  I think they are a 
bit low for meat.  For example, I like my steak medium.  According to the 
iGrill Mini, that would be 155 degrees Fahrenheit.  That is too rare for me.  
165 is much more like medium to me.  It still is plenty pink in the middle.
I used the iGrill Mini for cooking a steak on the George Foreman grill.
I set it to 160 to test it and it worked perfectly.  I had my wife double check 
the doneness, and then let it get to 165 before taking it off.

Then, she who likes her steak medium well to well done, put the probe in her 
steak and let it get to 180.

I have not yet used it in the oven, but that will be next.

The app could be labeled better, and once I get it all sorted out I may do a 
podcast of sorts, or at least detailed written instructions.

Richard

Wow, Richard! Thanks for a link to the PDF, as well as pasting those 
quick-start directions in to your email! I've seriously been wanting an iGrill, 
and when I do, I'm sure I'll find your email useful. In fact, I'm going to use 
the link you posted to download that manual in to the Manuals folder in Voice 
Dream Reader, so I can have it handy when the time comes to really get serious 
about learning exactly how the iGrill works. In the meantime, the manual will 
probably help me understand how it works a bit better. For example, I'm a bit 
confused as to the function of the base part mentioned in the quick-start 
directions.

 you know of any blindness-specific podcasts that do an unboxing/demonstration 
of the iGrill Mini?


Thanks,
Ari

Whenever this happens I usually turn the phone off and back on again and that
