Janet!  For a while, I lost the "clever thing, you!" sound that is back and 
I find that the "get a
hint"  is variable.  most times,  it will give "first letter" or "first 
tile" but, occasionally,
that will only result in a bonk--bonk--bonk, but I find, and this must be 
happenstance, and a happy
happenstance at that, the whole solution, which I use only if all my efforts 
to solve the annagram
have failed,  is, more than often, something so strange that I would not 
have got it, unaided.  I

wish that I could give you an example, but there is not one in my head.
Perhaps, I should hold this letter back until my next play session and see 
if one comes up.
I did and no impossible word came up requiring my to ask for the entire 
solution, but I did find
that if you ask for a first letter or first tile, there will be a pause of 
several seconds before
the answer is given, but if you take the easy way and ask for the entire 
solution, it is
instantaneous, so, Janet, don't be impatient and when you ask for either of 
the first 2 options,
just wait and it will be given to you.  Remember:  "good things come to 
those who wait!"
I said in my previous letter that some of the clues readh back into the days 
of history re
Mastermind winner of 1987, but last night, I found one that went back even 
further than that.
"Giggly-voiced singer"  Cogan 4 letters, and that, of course, was Alma Cogan 
and her era was that of
Professor Jimmy Edwards and Dick Bentley in the BBC radio show, The Glums 
and that must have been

around the 1960s.

Hi Jewel you can get puzzles going back to 2012 so I assume that is when it
started.  the thing I've got is the sound has stopped working when you guess
your answer and on the second group of puzzles that you can do you cannot
get any kind of hint apart from the complete answer.  Janet

Some time ago, I wrote in, saying that the "Older Puzzles" section of my
copy of 7 Little Words:  an
oxymoron if ever there was one as many of the words are far from being *
little,  not that I am
complaining you understand: was stuck and asked how or where I could get
help to get it unstuck.
Donna made the suggestion that I contact the game's boss, but I was never
able to find the address.
However, I am pleased to say that it is, now going fine again.  Perhaps,
someone else was
experiencing the same problem  as I and he/she was able to contact the boss.
How long has 7 Little Words been going?  I have the British version and at
the moment, am playing
August 2016.  One of the clues was "who won MasterMind in 1987?  Peter, 4
letters.  The answer was
Mize.

The NBA In its infinite wisdom has decided to reinstate their league Pass Audio 
program at the traditional cost of $9.99 per year. This includes all games, and 
radio feeds both home and away. You may not see this option when you review the 
subscription choices within the smart phone app. if not, you can go to 
www.nba.com and click on the league Pass link. hopefully the app will soon be 
updated to reflect this option.

Enjoy!

Re: Unable to enter text on my 6S

[Richard Turner]

Try the command, spacebar plus sh and if that doesn't bring back the onscreen 
keyboard, on the phone, in the braille settings, make sure onscreen keyboard is 
on.

If that doesn't do it, then it is time to reboot everything and if that still 
doesn't work, call Apple Accessibility and see if there is something else to do.
But, no, you shouldn't have to turn off the smart beatle: though if it is on, 
why not use it for the text entry?

MCL pacemaker monitor

[Paul and Paula Jordan]

Hi all.  I have a friend who just got a pacemaker. She needs to monitor it
and the app that's recommended is the MyCareLink Smart made by Medtronic so
that  she can send information about the pacemaker to her doctor.  She
downloaded the app, but cannot figure out the unlabeled button.  Is anyone
using this or do you know of an accessible app that would allow her to send
information to her doctor?  Thanks.

God bless!

I would assume that the signals being sent from the keyboard to the computer 
are all generated the same way and follow the same standard protocol. 
Basically, the only difference would be the key caps. Therefore, they're 
pretty much interchangeable. Here's just one of many articles on using a 
Windows keyboard on a Mac and the other way around 
https://www.computer-hardware-explained.com/apple-keyboard.html

  Hi,

  The original question came from someone who has a Windows Bluetooth 
keyboard and was trying to figure out what keys she would use if connected 
to an iPhone.



  I have the AmazonBasics keyboard and had recommended it because of having 
both options and control on both sides of the spacebar.

  But, it hasn’t been available for at least 6 months, so I switched to the 
Logitech K480 since it can connect to three Bluetooth devices including 
Windows or Android along with Apple.



  I will leave it to that person to finally sort out what keys on a Windows 
keyboard match up to the Apple keyboard commands.

  Hi Richard,



  I use a BATTOP keyboard from Amazon, & it doesn't have an application key

  My bottom row from left to right:
  Left Function key, Control, Options / Alt, Command, Spacebar, Command, 
Options / Alt, Up / down / left / right Arrow keys.



  I don't know what key would be the application / context menu key using 
this keyboard being I've never used it with a Windows computer.  Also I 
don't know if iOS has an equivalent to the Windows context menu, unless it's 
the Rotor.


  Systems switch between Android, Windows and iOS



  QWERTY Keyboard Layout:
  Press:” Fn” +” Q” for iOS
  Press:” Fn” + ” W ”for Android
  Press:” Fn” +” E ” for Windows



  AZERTY keyboard Layout:
  Press: ” Fn” +” A” for Android
  Press: ” Fn” +” Z ”for Windows

  OK,

  I of course new that control+options was the VO key.

  But to make sure we are all on the same page:

  Windows key equals command key

  Application key equals Options

  And Control equals control.

  Is that correct?

  The keys for VO are, the control and option keys (held down together) on 
an Apple keyboard, and
  the control and alt keys (held down together) on a Windows style keyboard.



   The command key on an Apple keyboard corresponds to the Windows key on a 
Windows style keyboard.

Re: 7 Little Words

[Jewel]

Janet!  For a while, I lost the "clever thing, you!" sound that is back and I 
find that the "get a 
hint"  is variable.  most times,  it will give "first letter" or "first tile" 
but, occasionally, 
that will only result in a bonk--bonk--bonk, but I find, and this must be 
happenstance, and a happy 
happenstance at that, the whole solution, which I use only if all my efforts to 
solve the annagram 
have failed,  is, more than often, something so strange that I would not have 
got it, unaided.  I
wish that I could give you an example, but there is not one in my head.
Perhaps, I should hold this letter back until my next play session and see if 
one comes up.
I did and no impossible word came up requiring my to ask for the entire 
solution, but I did find 
that if you ask for a first letter or first tile, there will be a pause of 
several seconds before 
the answer is given, but if you take the easy way and ask for the entire 
solution, it is 
instantaneous, so, Janet, don't be impatient and when you ask for either of the 
first 2 options, 
just wait and it will be given to you.  Remember:  "good things come to those 
who wait!"
I said in my previous letter that some of the clues readh back into the days of 
history re 
Mastermind winner of 1987, but last night, I found one that went back even 
further than that. 
"Giggly-voiced singer"  Cogan 4 letters, and that, of course, was Alma Cogan 
and her era was that of 
Professor Jimmy Edwards and Dick Bentley in the BBC radio show, The Glums and 
that must have been 
around the 1960s.

Hi Jewel you can get puzzles going back to 2012 so I assume that is when it
started.  the thing I've got is the sound has stopped working when you guess
your answer and on the second group of puzzles that you can do you cannot
get any kind of hint apart from the complete answer.  Janet

RE: The seeing AI app (or similar) and displays on exercise machines

[Richard Turner]

Yes, you take a picture, but it is surprisingly quick compared to some apps.
For things like digital displays, I have a thermostat that is about 3 inches by 
4 inches and I held the camera about 5 or 6 inches from it and it worked very 
well.
The clocks I have tried it on I was a bit further away and it got it on the 
first or in one case, second try.
If you are two close, it will tell you it looks like a close up of a clock.
I have not tried it on a page of text, but it did very well on a box.

Again, it is very new and they want feedback to figure out what they need to 
improve and what is working.

RE: The seeing AI app (or similar) and displays on exercise machines

[Mr. Ed]

Hi Richard,

I tried the new Emvision app on my big digital clock with about two inch high 
numbers and got it to read it after a few tries. I tried it on my thermostat 
and it did not read the digitals numbers. I also tried Seeing Ai and it did not 
read any digital numbers on my thermostat or digital clock.  I like the Seeing 
Ai app very much for reading text documents and product codes. As far as the 
Emvision app I am not impress so far but have not use it much at all to really 
give it a rating.

If Seeing AI doesn't do it, try the new Envision AI. 

It has a button to read text and it reads my Honeywell thermostat very nicely 
which is probably a similar digital display. The app is free.

RE: Chrome Cast [was "Re: A couple of iPhone questions"]

[Sieghard Weitzel]

All the information is on the Sonos website. It’s basically exactly identical 
to a Play 1 but it has the microphones which allow you to speak to it after you 
have set up Amazon Alexa. You first have to figure out if Amazon Alexa is 
available which I am pretty sure it is not officially and if you can get around 
this and use it anyways. I know here in Canada people do use it even though 
even here it is not yet officially available. Apparently it might be coming 
soon here, but who knows.
At some point during 2018 Sonos will add/enable the Google Assistant as well 
and this might be more widely available, it is already here in Canada even 
though Google came out way later with it than Amazon did with the Echo/Alexa.
In the US the Sonos 1 costs the same as a Play 1 and I assume it may replace 
the Play 1 (if you don’t want voice assistants you just don’t have to set it 
up) so that is $199 USD.
Here in Canada it is available now (as of October 24) and it costs $249 here 
which is pretty much the exchange rate difference which currently is about 
$1.20 CAD for 1 USD, multiply $200 by $1.20 and you get $240 so it’s pretty 
close.

hello Sieghard
Very interesting. Do you perhaps have a link where I can read more about the 
Sonos 1. I wonder when wil it be available here in SA and what the price would 
be due to our bad exchange rate? Perhaps you know the dollar price? My son goes 
to Germany from time to time and for example, he purchased  me an apple watch 
for far les that what people pay here in SA.

Certainly true, but it depends on what you want to accomplish, whether you have 
2 or 3 stereos kicking around (I guess you could buy a bunch of powered 
computer speakers), how much convenience you want and ultimately what your 
budget allows.
If you have two systems you really like then the Chromecast method is worth 
considering and may work perfectly well for you.
If you want to upgrade to something more modern, something which is expandable 
and now with the Sonos 1 speaker something which gives you access to several 
voice assistants (when they are done with what they are doing) then Sonos is 
still the system of choice in my opinion. With Sonos you also don’t use your 
phone’s resources, you simply use the phone and Sonos app as a remote control. 
You get access to just about every music service there is including Apple Music 
and the sound quality is awesome.
The new Sonos 1 speaker is available now and fully supports Alexa, the Google 
Assistant will be added I think in early 2018 and I assume they will also 
integrate Cortana since Microsoft certainly is going the third-party route. 
SIRI will take longer, but it


the voice assistants will not work here because they require a speaker with 
microphones and this is simply a hardware constraint. I also assume that the 
Sonos 1 is just the start and that a Sonos 3 and Sonos 5 or whatever they will 
be called are following to give customers the full choice of speaker quality 
and still include voice assistants. In some cases I have bought new technology 
when it comes out, but I’m glad I was reluctant to jump onto the smart speaker 
train because I’d kick myself if I had bought a Amazon Echo and/or Google Home 
speaker where now I can buy a Sonos 1 which can do them all.
The Sonos 1 by the way also supports Airplay 2 so even if you already have a 
bunch of older equipment adding one of them allows you to Airplay to any of 
your Sonos speakers since that is how Sonos works.

Sieghard

You are right. You do need two Chromecasts. But the chrome cast audio cost 
something like $30, maybe less if you find a deal. That's still way cheaper 
than spending a bunch of money on Sonos speakers, for example

If you have two traditional stereos which are not in any way connected or

the same sound on another stereo? I can see how if you had two Chromecasts and

understanding that the Chromecast needs to be physically connected to the

RE: A new iPhone app

I agree, Dave, I look at my iPhone not so much as a tool but as the toolbox and 
while more tools are not necessarily useful certainly the right tools are a 
good thing and in some cases having a few tools (apps) to accomplish more or 
less the same thing then I’m all for it.

Also, there is still a lot of us, who can’t get the seeing AI app.

I hope this app doesn’t go away, as the more choice, and competition out there

Envision AI



https://www.applevis.com/forum/ios-ios-app-discussion/introducing-envision-ai-new-ios-app-help-blind-identify-text-objects



Hi,

My name is Karthik and I have been working with visually impaired users in the 
Netherlands for the past year to understand ways of enabling independence. In 
that process, I did a deep dive into artificial intelligence and how it can be 
a helpful tool for processing and conveying visual information. I found that 
most of what was in the market were simple object recognition apps that were 
not very practical to use.

Hence, we built an app called Envision AI, that takes a context-based approach 
to this problem. Our app can be currently used to:

- Recognise and read texts in their native dialect.
- Explain scenes that camera captures in detail.
- Train and recognise faces of your friends and family.
- Train and recognise your personal objects like wallet, keys or glasses.
- Do context-based recognition, that is, taking a picture of a clock will tell 
you the time, taking a picture of a window will tell you the weather outside, 
etc.

The app is still a beta, but available worldwide. We are constantly trying to 
understand what features are the most important and valuable and how we can 
continually improve them. So we would really love it if the community here can 
give the app a try and provide us with active feedback on what they think of it 
and how it can be improved.

P.S. We understand that we will immediately be compared to Seeing AI and other 
apps out there. What we can assure you is we are really committed to listening 
to the community here and work with them to build an app that really really 
helps them. We are working on this full-time and will be here every day to talk 
to you.

Re: The seeing AI app (or similar) and displays on exercise machines

If Seeing AI doesn't do it, try the new Envision AI.
It has a button to read text and it reads my Honeywell thermostat very nicely 
which is probably a similar digital display. The app is free.

Latest Publix App Update

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi All,

I recently updated to the latest version of the Publix app, and so far, it 
seems totally inaccessible.  It used to work quite well, at least for looking 
at the weekly ad.

If anyone has been able to get this to work, I would love to hear how.  
Otherwise, if others use this app, I would think twice before updating it.

Re: Chrome Cast [was "Re: A couple of iPhone questions"]

hello Sieghard
Very interesting. Do you perhaps have a link where I can read more about the 
Sonos 1. I wonder when wil it be available here in SA and what the price would 
be due to our bad exchange rate? Perhaps you know the dollar price? My son goes

Subject: RE: Chrome Cast [was "Re: A couple of iPhone questions"]

Certainly true, but it depends on what you want to accomplish, whether you have 
2 or 3 stereos kicking around (I guess you could buy a bunch of powered 
computer speakers), how much convenience you want and ultimately what your 
budget allows.

If you have two systems you really like then the Chromecast method is worth 
considering and may work perfectly well for you.

If you want to upgrade to something more modern, something which is expandable 
and now with the Sonos 1 speaker something which gives you access to several 
voice assistants (when they are done with what they are doing) then Sonos is 
still the system of choice in my opinion. With Sonos you also don’t use your 
phone’s resources, you simply use the phone and Sonos app as a remote control. 
You get access to just about every music service there is including Apple Music 
and the sound quality is awesome.

The new Sonos 1 speaker is available now and fully supports Alexa, the Google 
Assistant will be added I think in early 2018 and I assume they will also 
integrate Cortana since Microsoft certainly is going the third-party route. 
SIRI will take longer, but it is my guess that in 2 to 5 years SIRI will also 
be available and with the software updates Sonos releases your speakers are 
very future proof. A lot of my equipment is now 8 years old and it is still 
fully supported with all updates and features, of course the voice assistants 
will not work here because they require a speaker with microphones and this is 
simply a hardware constraint. I also assume that the Sonos 1 is just the start 
and that a Sonos 3 and Sonos 5 or whatever they will be called are following to 
give customers the full choice of speaker quality and still include voice 
assistants. In some cases I have bought new technology when it comes out, but 
I’m glad I was reluctant to jump onto the smart speaker train because I’d kick 
myself if I had bought a Amazon Echo and/or Google Home speaker where now I can 
buy a Sonos 1 which can do them all.

The Sonos 1 by the way also supports Airplay 2 so even if you already have a 
bunch of older equipment adding one of them allows you to Airplay to any of 
your Sonos speakers since that is how Sonos works.

Sieghard

You are right. You do need two Chromecasts. But the chrome cast audio cost 
something like $30, maybe less if you find a deal. That's still way cheaper 
than spending a bunch of money on Sonos speakers, for example

  Hi Mary,

   

  If you have two traditional stereos which are not in any way connected or 
working on any wireless how can one Chromecast connected to one stereo provide 
the same sound on another stereo? I can see how if you had two Chromecasts and 
one was connected to each stereo that maybe you can group them, but it is my 
understanding that the Chromecast needs to be physically connected to the 
stereo where you are streaming/casting the music.

   

  Fanus, as for why they make an audio and a video version it is simple. The 
audio only Chromecast plugs into a 3.5mm port so you can connect it to any 
powered speaker which has a 3.5mm input port and you can easily connect it to 
an older analogue stereo with a 3.5mm to RCA cable. The video version, either 
the regular Chromecast or the Chromecast Ultra which supports 4K streaming only 
have HDMI ports so unless you have a newer receiver with HDMI inputs this one 
wouldn’t work for just music/audio on a system where HDMI is not available.

  If you don't care about video, the chrome cast audio is cheaper. You can

casting, even on iOS, with the sad exception of Apple Music, of course. I wish 
they get their head out of their whatever and just realize that not everybody

Re: A new iPhone app

[Dave]

Hi Sieghard,

remember, this is a very new app, and won’t be up to the standard of seeing AI 
as yet.

Also, there is still a lot of us, who can’t get the seeing AI app.

I hope this app doesn’t go away, as the more choice, and competition out there 
the better.

the app is free, and the more of us, who get behind it, and send in 
constructive information the better.

Excuse any mistakes, as i have just woken up, and have a headache  of headaches!

Dave.

I wonder how they fund their time and expenses. Wouldn’t be the first time a 
developer came up with something pretty amazing and then after a while it went 
away. It will be interesting to try it out, though, and to hear the feedback 
from others as well as the comparisons to Seeing AI. After all, there are a 
number of ways to skin a cat so let’s see how these two apps compare.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

A New iPhone app.

 

Envision AI

 

https://www.applevis.com/forum/ios-ios-app-discussion/introducing-envision-ai-new-ios-app-help-blind-identify-text-objects

 


Hi, 

My name is Karthik and I have been working with visually impaired users in the 
Netherlands for the past year to understand ways of enabling independence. In 
that process, I did a deep dive into artificial intelligence and how it can be 
a helpful tool for processing and conveying visual information. I found that 
most of what was in the market were simple object recognition apps that were 
not very practical to use. 

Hence, we built an app called Envision AI, that takes a context-based approach 
to this problem. Our app can be currently used to:

- Recognise and read texts in their native dialect.
- Explain scenes that camera captures in detail.
- Train and recognise faces of your friends and family.
- Train and recognise your personal objects like wallet, keys or glasses.
- Do context-based recognition, that is, taking a picture of a clock will tell 
you the time, taking a picture of a window will tell you the weather outside, 
etc. 

The app is still a beta, but available worldwide. We are constantly trying to 
understand what features are the most important and valuable and how we can 
continually improve them. So we would really love it if the community here can 
give the app a try and provide us with active feedback on what they think of it 
and how it can be improved. 

P.S. We understand that we will immediately be compared to Seeing AI and other 
apps out there. What we can assure you is we are really committed to listening 
to the community here and work with them to build an app that really really 
helps them. We are working on this full-time and will be here every day to talk 
to you.

I tried what you all suggested and it did not do anything for me.
