iOS 11 Beta: Can't Reinstall Hooke Audio app

[Chris Smart]

Problem: The Hooke Audio app wasn't recording past a few minutes, 
ever since I installed the iOS 11 public beta. Yes, I know this sort 
of instability is to be expected.


Anyway, I deleted the app outright, including its data, from inside 
Settings > General > iPhone Storage.


Now that an update to the app has appeared today, I would like to 
reinstall it. I can't "get" it. I can search for and find the app in 
the App Store, but there is nothing to tap on to download the app again.


Anybody else noticed this, where a deleted app can't be redownloaded?

Chris

  Vicki, when users mentioned participants, they may have imagined you had 
created a group of people whom you wish to contact and that you wanted to view 
that list.  To view the people in your Contacts list who have WhatsApp 
accounts, select either the Chat tab or the Call tab.  Then, click the "New

Hello everyone,


I would like to thank Tara, and Alex to responding to my questions. I 
was able to find a bluetooth keyboard case, for my iPad Mini, 4th 
generation. I really like it a lot! And the price wasn't too bad, either.


So thank you again for the help. It is much appreciated.

RE: A question about dictation

[Cher Bosch]

Keeping the home button down does not stop siri from interrupting my dictation- 
although some have suggested this so it must work for them ;)

Mike, 

 

One thing you can do is hold the home button the entire time that you wish Siri 
to listen to you, this should eliminate the problems you have with pausing. I 
do agree that using dictation seems easier because you can pause and resume 
dictation using the 2 finger double tap. 

I hope this is of some help.

When dictating a text message for example, how do you adjust Siri to give you a

to send?  Or, is this even possible?  Thanks much.

Can you jail-break an Apple TV?

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


Over the last few years I have heard people talking about jail-breaking 
their iPhones, and I believe, iPods as well.


What I am wondering is, can you possibly jail-break a 4th generation, 
Apple TV?

If you can do this, will it possibly take away any of the accessibility 
features?

Also, if this can be done, what would be some of the benefits of doing this?


Any thoughts, or advice would be very much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: which GPS app should i buy?

[Kelly Pierce]

Chip,

Nearby Explorer for iOS recently updated its maps and they are current
from the first quarter of 2017.  That’s impressive considering the
product was introduced in September 2016.  Unlike online maps, Nearby
Explorer works great in urban canyons, in valleys with poor cell
service and in lightly populated areas with limited cell phone
coverage.


Andy,

To obtain directions on Nearby Explorer, double tap the search tab on
the bottom of the screen and type or dictate an address.  Nearby
Explore will match the address to one it recognizes in its map.  The
end user is presented with the option for either a list of directions
or for guided turn-by-turn directions.  The app only provides walking
and driving directions though.  Public transit directions are
available from Move It, Apple Maps or Google Maps.

 Another consideration is where in the world you are located.  You do
 not say and this is an important consideration for anyone asking for
 app recommendations. Nearby Explorer is only currently available in
 North America while the other two have maps for other parts of the
 world.  Also, you do not say if you need the app in a language other
 than English.
 Nearby
 explorer supports only English while Blind Square supports more than
 20 languages.  English though is an international language spoken

Hi,

I was trying to access a conference call yesterday.

I successfully called the number, but when I was putting in the access code, I

Is there a way to correct a mistake in this situation?

RE: which GPS app should i buy?

[Richard Turner]

No GPS is accurate enough to tell you exactly where the door is located.  
That is where your cane skills come in, not to mention the willingness to ask 
passers-by.
Or, open the door you find and ask if it is the correct location.
GPS is to supplement good travel skills, no one should depend on it entirely.

Re: which GPS app should i buy?

[Tom Lange]

Hi,
I'm coming in a bit late on this thread, but I'd like to first say that I've 
been using Nearby Explorer for about six months and really like it. Though its 
front screen is quite cluttered, you can  hide items that you don't want on 
that screen, thereby reducing that clutter. 
I live in Los Angeles, and, quite frankly, depending on the time of day, 
traffic, especially on the major freeways, is terrible.  Having used both 
Seeing Eye and Nearby Explorer extensively in vehicle mode, I've noticed that 
neither app will give you alternate vehicle routes which factor in bad traffic 
conditions. Normally my paratransit service will take me to and from work using 
the 405 and 101 freeways, which is fine under favorable conditions.  When both 
freeways are jammed, I've used Waze to get alternate routes, and, what's cool 
is, it will show you route options with their expected travel times and ETA's. 
I don't know what algorithms Waze uses, but if they could be plugged into 
vehicle modes in Nearby Explorer and/or Seeing Eye, that could be a very nice 
feature. 
Oh, and one more thing before I'm out of here. For those of you who really want 
your phone to be a phone and, if you're contemplating buying a Victor Reader 
Stream, check out the 2017 Convention podcast from Blind Bargains, which is all 
about the new, soon-to-be-released Victor Reader Trek.  I'm considering saving 
up my ducats and buying one this fall. It will probably be a very nice device 
indeed.
Tom

[Laury-Johnson, Shawnese (LARA)]

Is the app working now? Previously there seemed to be glitches when trying to 
activate the features of the app.

Hello Michael;
Yes, I believe this is a useful app.


Description

Yes Chef is the hands free cooking app that talks you through recipes, and 
answers your questions. Use your voice to work through recipes and keep your
hands free to make great food! Yes Chef offers over 350,000 recipes -- what 
will you make today?

Yes Chef will find you recipes, read you recipes, and answer recipe questions. 
Yes Chef can answer questions like:

“Chef, how do I make Ratatouille?”
“Chef, what temperature do I set the oven to?”
“Chef, what’s the next step?”
“Chef, is it baking powder or baking soda?”

STEP BY STEP RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

>From prep to plate, Yes Chef is entirely hands free. With the knife in one 
>hand, all you have to say is, “Chef, let’s get started.” If you’re cooking 
>chili
from scratch, Yes Chef may say “Dice the tomatoes.” Once you finish dicing 
tomatoes, simply say “next step” and the app continues to read the recipe aloud.
Yes Chef will guide your cooking to new heights.

THE CONVERSATIONAL KITCHEN

Yes Chef is the first iOS voice-controlled natural language cooking app, making 
technology less detectable and more useful in the kitchen. If you don’t
understand a step in the recipe, you can ask follow up questions, and because 
the app is hands free, it won’t matter how grimy your fingers are. Our 
technology
allows you to create deep cooking conversations with Yes Chef’s deep learning 
engine.

THE PERFECT RECIPE

Yes Chef offers over 350,000 recipes! They are searchable by popularity, 
keyword and filterable by cuisine.  Whatever you want to eat, Yes Chef knows a
way to cook it.

Put your cookbooks down, and get more active in the kitchen. Time to make it a 
little easier to prep, master new culinary techniques, and eat new recipes
that inspire you.

I would second, or third, the votes for BlindSquare. Though it is not 
specifically an app to give direction from Point A to Point B, you can use 
BlindSquare to get information about your environment, in conjunction with 
Apple/Google Maps to get directions, or to look up other information like menus 
from many restaurants. Also, it is updated fairly often with fixes and new 
features. I recall seeing in the last update that their Open Street Map data 
was updated, whatever that means. If you want something more "blindness 
specific" which will tell you exactly where the door of a business is locate 
relative to you, then go for one of the other more expensive apps. BlindSquare 
works for me and suits my purposes.

Another consideration is where in the world you are located.  You do not 
say

and this is an important consideration for anyone asking for app
recommendations. Nearby Explorer is only currently available in North
America while the other two have maps for other parts of the world.  Also,
you do not say if you need the app in a language other than English. 
Nearby

explorer supports only English while Blind Square supports more than 20
languages.  English though is an international language spoken throughout
the world by educated peple.

In this writer's opinion, "Nearby Explorer is a much better option

When you are on edit you flick down with one finger and you should see "select 
all". DT then flick down to copy and DT.

Re: Galileo Maps

['Sandratomkins' via VIPhone]

good morning Richard,
thanks for your efforts! indeed, I also trawled through Google and various 
websites for Galileo, and, I suppose, this is a sort of answer to my question, 
to wit, can iPhones use the Galileo satellites? presumably we can, or they 
wouldn't be maps for iOS. however, they are onboard maps, so, it's still not 
quite clear. what surprises me is this: apparently, there is a system out there 
which offers us infinitely greater precision, but nobody seems to be using it, 
looking at it, celebrating it, or in any way relating to it. it feels unreal to 
me! I am not aware of apps, such as BlindSquare, mentioning it. obviously, a 
little more research is required…

thanks again, and I will get back to the list if I discover anything more 
useful to us.
Good luck, Sandy

t-mobile directory assistance

Hi, how can some one get free directory assistance on t-mobile? I see they 
charge a dollar and change per call. On straighttalk there was never a charge.

Thanks.
