[Andy Baracco]

i don't like the Edge because it is just about impossible for a blind person to 
know if it is turned off because of the nature of the power button.

  I absolutely love my Edge. I have used the charger many times to charge my 
Edge three full times between plugging it in to charge the Edge in the charger. 
I use the Edge on the go quite a lot. And I am very pleased with its 
performance. Not to mention its durability. One time I washed and dried it and 
it still works like new. Laughs! I looked at the Plantronics voyager 3200 and 
it is tempting. But the Edge is still performing so well I can’t justify the 
expense at this time.

  When the Edge is fully charged it says you have 6 hours of talk time, but 
while I never timed it, I think if you just listen to a book you get more than 
that. The Edge also comes with a little cradle which securely holds the 
earpiece and which has a built-in battery sop if the cradle is charged it will 
fully charge your Edge at least once.

  I just picked up today the Voyager 5200 which is the upgrade to the Voyager 
Legend. It has four mics instead of three with all the other bells and whistles 
that go into the voyager line. It’s supposed to have seven hours of talk time. 
So far, I’ve actually found it to be quite comfortable. Much more than the 
legend. It is huge though. I mean, think of a massive hearing aid attached to a 
transformer plastered on the side of your face huge. It is no where near as 
discrete as the edge. That and the edge is super simple to slip on and take 
off. Also, if you wear glasses, I don’t know how you’d be able to use the 5200. 
The edge gives me no problems in this regard. Be it sunglasses or if I wish to 
use my trekz headset at the same time with the edge.

  There is the Plantronics 3200 which is the newer version of the Edge and I 
think I may give that one a try. I work from home and sound quality is an 
absolute necesity for me and while the 5200 feels pretty solid so far and has 
one extra mic, man,… the size… 

  It seems that the 3200 also has seven hours of talk time. My experience with 
the edge at least is that I can usually get away with two days in between 
charging since it’s not like I’ve got it streaming audio six or seven hours 
straight. When I got my voyager edge, it also came with the charging case that 
is supposed to give you up to two more full charges. I think in the time I’ve 
owned it however, I’ve used it maybe twice. I can’t recall the last time I was 
out and about and needed to charge my edge on the go.

  I’m parcial to the Plantronics earpieces for many reasons, ut one of them is 
that they still use an on/off switch instead of a button you have to press and 
hold to turn on and off.

Sieghard, under normal use, how  many hours of listening time does the 
Voyager Edge headphones give you? 

Normal use for me is reading E mail, going to web sites and searching for

That also depends on whether you want a single earpiece or one for both 
ears. I find when I am out and about walking I prefer to just use a single 
earpiece headset, even if I use the wired Earpods I always just put in the 
right side when I’m walking. They don’t block much sound, but they still block 
a bit so having one ear completely free makes a big difference in my opinion.

I have the Voyager Edge which sits only in the outer part of the ear like 
the Earpods or Airpods and I find it blocks only maybe 20% of the sound

What kind of on/off switch does the 5200 have? I like my old Voyager legend 
because it has a mechanical on/off switch.

There is no such thing as a bluetooth headset without lag, but the Voyager

RE: how to remove the do not disturb while driving

[Cristóbal]

I too had it set to activate when connected to the car's bluetooth. Since this 
scenario will not apply to me, it's like disabling it. It would be nice to 
disable it outright though.

how to remove the do not disturb while driving

[Paul and Paula Jordan]

Hi all.  I have gone to settings and then to do not disturb and selected
activate manually.  After I've been in a car I still sometimes see the
notification that do not disturb while driving was activated.  I really
don't want/need that feature to be activated since I'm not the driver.  Any
other setting I should change.  Thanks as always for all your help and
advice.

RE: AirPods

[Jeff Clark]

You can also open the charging case/holder a few inches away from your phone 
and in a few seconds a window pops up where the left and right earpiece battery 
status as well as the charging case status is shown. You are unable to swipe to 
hear the different statuses however just run your finger around the screen and 
it works.

RE: It's Official: Mark is on iPhone 8 Plus (smile)

[M. Taylor]

Thank you, Cliff.

It's only been a day or so but I must say that I am absolutely loving this 
device.

Thank you again for giving me first dibs on your 8, that was very kind of you.

Yes, I can definitely see how one would love iPHone 10.  There's something 
exciting about it.  

I was in the Apple Store, again, today, and I couldn't keep my hands off the 
thing.  I don't know how Apple does it but, somehow, they keep coming up with 
winners, all around.  (smile).

Congrads on your choice.  I myself don’t like the bulkyness of the plus models, 
so the iPHone X size is perfect for me.  I have compaired the sizes though.  
The x is slightly larger than the 4.7 models, and slightly smaller than the 
plus models.  What makes the screen bigger is the home button area, and the ear 
piece being closer to the top edge.  They are both great phones.  I myself like 
the faceID, and the accurracy of it.  Guess I have to find another buyer for my 
iPHone 8!lol

That wireless device you described sounds marvelous.

Subject: RE: A Question About Using the Belkin Rock Star Lightening Splitter

OK, baby Mark, your choice, but given the large choice of compatible charging 
pads which all have been around for years I'd rather take a leap of faith than 
baby steps especially since on Amazon you can buy two units of many models with 
great ratings for the price of this ridiculously overpriced Belkin Rockstar 
charger.
I once looked at the Belkin charging stand for the Apple Watch which is also a 
Lightning dock for charging your iPhone and I think here in Canada it is $149 
which I think is equally overpriced. I bought a nice stand that is very similar 
on Amazon for $50 although on that one you have to insert your magnetic watch 
charger into a pre-drilled hole, but that's not a big deal and in addition to 
letting me charge my Apple Watch and my iPhone on the dock, it also has two USB 
outputs in the back where you can plug in say a Micro USB cable for charging 
most bluetooth earpieces or speakers and I use the second one to plug in my 
Lightning cable so if I want to use the phone while it is charging I can plug 
the cable in instead of sticking it onto the dock.
The only feature the Belkin stand has which is super nice is that it has a 
3.5mm headphone jack so here you can actually charge your headphone 
jack-lacking iPhone 7 or 8 on the dock and use a 3.5mm headset of your choice 
at the same time. If you like to use your iPhone primarily with a bluetooth 
keyboard then this is an even more attractive option.
OK, now make sure you don't fall and if you progress to a bicycle don't forget 
to put on the training wheels *smile*

Take care,
Sieghard

Subject: RE: A Question About Using the Belkin Rock Star Lightening Splitter

I'm surprised Mark bought the splitter, the iPhone 8/8 Plus have wireless 
charging and if I bought one I'd rather invest in 2 or 3 charging pads.
I would put one of these on my night table next to my bed where the iPhone is 
at night, one on my desk at work where I am sitting most of the day and maybe 
one in the living room or kitchen. This way if I put the phone on the charging 
pad in the evening I can use the Lightning headset while the phone is charging. 
I will have a fully charged phone in the morning, while I'm at work I can put 
it on the pad on my desk later in the day (chances are I'll still have between 
50 and 80% at that point) and again my phone will be fully charged when I go 
home.
If I need to charge it fast or if I want to use an external battery while I'm 
out and about I can still plug it in and just use a bluetooth headset for these 
occasions. I just think that being able to charge your phone while it's just 
sitting on the desk or the night table without having to plug it in would 
result in me having a fully or almost fully charged phone most of the time and 
personally I certainly doubt I would miss being able to plug it in and use a 
wired headset at the same time. For this same reason I would never have bought 
the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus since with it you don't have a choice.
OK, now that is my story and I'm sticking to it no matter what Mark has to say

Mark,

Glad you got a replacement that works. It's a good product but I still miss the

I do use a Bluetooth keyboard from time to time. When I use the Bluetooth 
keyboard keyboard on the screen goes away. Also dictate some of the emails that

RE: WIRELESS CHARGING, was RE: A Question About Using the Belkin Rock Star Lightening Splitter

[M. Taylor]

Sieghard, I follow the same practice as you and, I concur.

Vicky, whether or not to keep a power cord plugged in, can depend upon many 
factors.  

For example, some devices use large power transformers that, depending upon 
where they are placed in the home, the ambient temperature, etc, could cause a 
fire hazard.  

Also, generally speaking, transformers draw power and, consequently, cost you 
money when they are plugged into the A/C outlet regardless of whether the 
appliance is powered on or not.

So, one must use her/his own judgment about what to leave plugged into an 
electrical outlet based upon his/her particular circumstance.

Mark

I never unplug my Lightning cable that is plugged into a power bar under my

that's that. I don't see why you would need to unplug a wireless charging pad.

Would you all then leave these wireless charging pads plugged into the wall

one was supposed to unplug a cord from the wall when not in use.

Re: fyi - FW: Blindfold Games: The games are back!

Mama Peach, yes, I was very happy. I sent a long note to Apple also and signed 
a petition. The things I did probably didn't help either, but I too was 
impressed that Apple really took a look at the games again and realized their 
mistake. I am also impressed at how many people helped with this. I think Marty 
was humbled also. I really like the word games. Keeps my old brain sharp!

I received a call from Adam tonight, and he said the review team had a chance 
to look at the Blindfold Games again, and understood why they are separate 
apps, and that the games can continue.  He mentioned games address a need 
that’s not normally considered by most app designers, and acknowledged how the 
games are focused on the needs of the visually impaired community.

New updates will be processed, and new games will be reviewed as before.   I’ll 
go into more details about the discussion in a blog next week, but I wanted to 
get the word out to everyone.

I want to thank the everyone for contacting Apple and spreading the word about 
the games.  I have heard from so many people – far more than I had hoped – 
telling me how much the games mean to them, and how they appreciate my efforts. 
 It has meant a lot to me, and I truly thank you.

Have a great weekend!

RE: It's Official: Mark is on iPhone 8 Plus (smile)

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Maybe one day Apple will make a phone with Face Id and Touch Id, it's probably 
wishful thinking, but that would be perfect. Especially in winter I find myself 
very often unlocking my iPhone with Touch Id while it is in my belt holster or 
coat pocket and of course with Face Id that is no longer possible.
We recently purchased a Schlage Sense smartlock so when I go across the street 
and into my driveway I can reach under my coat or into my pocket and easily 
unlock the phone with Touch Id and since I usually have my wired EArpods 
connected when I'm walking I can invoke SIRI and say "Open the front door" and 
usually by the time I'm a few steps away this happens and I walk in.
With a Face Id phone I would have to pull it out of the pocket and do the Face 
Id thing before I could do this and you can't unlock the door with a locked 
phone because of security reasons. This is one thing I really like about Apple 
products and the accessories that work with home kit, I can tell SIRI to turn 
on my front door hallway light with the phone locked, but I can't unlock the 
door so of course if somebody stole my phone who knows where I live they also 
could not do so.

Congrads on your choice.  I myself don’t like the bulkyness of the plus models, 
so the iPHone X size is perfect for me.  I have compaired the sizes though.  
The x is slightly larger than the 4.7 models, and slightly smaller than the 
plus models.  What makes the screen bigger is the home button area, and the ear 
piece being closer to the top edge.  They are both great phones.  I myself like 
the faceID, and the accurracy of it.  Guess I have to find another buyer for my

Hello list,

Was wondering if others have been dealing with this issue and knew of a fix.

Ever since updating to iOS 11 on my iPhone SE, the keyboard keeps disappearing 
on me. If I’m in the edit field editing or adding text and go back to punch in 
something, instead of the keyboard, I’ll get a button that says keyboard and 
two dictate buttons on each side of the keyboard button. Double tapping that 
keyboard button brings back the keyboard, but man is this getting annoying. It 
happens in every app and all the time. Since it’s only occurred after upgrading 
to iOS 11.1 (I skipped iOS 11.0 entirely), I thought maybe it was part of the 
new OS somehow? 

Does anyone have a fix for this or do they know what setting I need to go into 
to disable this feature? 

Thanks,

Cristobal

Is there anyway to know how much charge they have left in them that is 
accessible to us? Or, I think charge the case as well, right?

Re: It's Official: Mark is on iPhone 8 Plus (smile)

[Kliphton Miller]

Congrads on your choice.  I myself don’t like the bulkyness of the plus models, 
so the iPHone X size is perfect for me.  I have compaired the sizes though.  
The x is slightly larger than the 4.7 models, and slightly smaller than the 
plus models.  What makes the screen bigger is the home button area, and the ear 
piece being closer to the top edge.  They are both great phones.  I myself like 
the faceID, and the accurracy of it.  Guess I have to find another buyer for my 
iPHone 8!lol

RE: iPhone SE keyboard keeps on disappearing since iOS 11

[Vicky Collins]

Before updating to iOS 11.1, once I finished my dictation, I was 
able to double tap with one finger and have my dictation 
processed and ready to be dealt with.  But, now when I double tap 
with just the one finger to stop dictation, I always get the 
behavior described below.  However, if I double tap with two 
fingers after finishing dictation, which I believe has been the 
correct way all along, things work as expected and the dictation 
is processed and the keyboard is available.

Re: AirPods

[Lois Butterfield]

Yes, if you are listening with both and take one out, your book or music will 
pause.  You just have to start play again.  If you have both in the case, and 
put one in, you can start listening with just one.

Take care,

RE: AirPods

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Yes, you can use a single one. I assume now that you can configure the left and 
right one independently to do certain things when you tap them you’ll limit 
yourself to whatever you select it do do when you use a single one, but it’s 
definitely possible.
I will continue to wait for the Airpods second generation, may not be until 
next fall, but if I spend $219 which is what they cost in Canadian Dollars for 
these things I want them to do exactly what I expect and they are not there 
yet. Hopefully people who use them and who provide feedback to Apple think it 
would be a good idea if the part that sticks down had a hole/loop molded into 
the plastic so one could attach a little cord which would allow you to hang 
them around your neck and it would make it much less easy to loose one. It also 
would generate an entire new industry and Apple could make their own little 10 
Cent cord and sell it for $9.99 similar to the rip-off with the iPod wrist 
loops they used to do or maybe still do.

RE: voyager edge headset-RE: Bluetooth headsets with iPhone

[Merv Keck]

I absolutely love my Edge. I have used the charger many times to charge my Edge 
three full times between plugging it in to charge the Edge in the charger. I 
use the Edge on the go quite a lot. And I am very pleased with its performance. 
Not to mention its durability. One time I washed and dried it and it still 
works like new. Laughs! I looked at the Plantronics voyager 3200 and it is 
tempting. But the Edge is still performing so well I can’t justify the expense 
at this time.

When the Edge is fully charged it says you have 6 hours of talk time, but while 
I never timed it, I think if you just listen to a book you get more than that. 
The Edge also comes with a little cradle which securely holds the earpiece and 
which has a built-in battery sop if the cradle is charged it will fully charge 
your Edge at least once.

I just picked up today the Voyager 5200 which is the upgrade to the Voyager 
Legend. It has four mics instead of three with all the other bells and whistles 
that go into the voyager line. It’s supposed to have seven hours of talk time. 
So far, I’ve actually found it to be quite comfortable. Much more than the 
legend. It is huge though. I mean, think of a massive hearing aid attached to a 
transformer plastered on the side of your face huge. It is no where near as 
discrete as the edge. That and the edge is super simple to slip on and take 
off. Also, if you wear glasses, I don’t know how you’d be able to use the 5200. 
The edge gives me no problems in this regard. Be it sunglasses or if I wish to 
use my trekz headset at the same time with the edge.

There is the Plantronics 3200 which is the newer version of the Edge and I 
think I may give that one a try. I work from home and sound quality is an 
absolute necesity for me and while the 5200 feels pretty solid so far and has 
one extra mic, man,… the size… 

It seems that the 3200 also has seven hours of talk time. My experience with 
the edge at least is that I can usually get away with two days in between 
charging since it’s not like I’ve got it streaming audio six or seven hours 
straight. When I got my voyager edge, it also came with the charging case that 
is supposed to give you up to two more full charges. I think in the time I’ve 
owned it however, I’ve used it maybe twice. I can’t recall the last time I was 
out and about and needed to charge my edge on the go.

I’m parcial to the Plantronics earpieces for many reasons, ut one of them is 
that they still use an on/off switch instead of a button you have to press and 
hold to turn on and off.

That also depends on whether you want a single earpiece or one for both ears. I 
find when I am out and about walking I prefer to just use a single earpiece 
headset, even if I use the wired Earpods I always just put in the right side 
when I’m walking. They don’t block much sound, but they still block a bit so 
having one ear completely free makes a big difference in my opinion.

I have the Voyager Edge which sits only in the outer part of the ear like the 
Earpods or Airpods and I find it blocks only maybe 20% of the sound if that.

There is no such thing as a bluetooth headset without lag, but the Voyager Edge 
is about as good as they get.

Sieghard

Hello list,
Was wondering if others have been dealing with this issue and knew of a fix.
Ever since updating to iOS 11 on my iPhone SE, the keyboard keeps disappearing 
on me. If I’m in the edit field editing or adding text and go back to punch in 
something, instead of the keyboard, I’ll get a button that says keyboard and

RE: voyager edge headset-RE: Bluetooth headsets with iPhone

[Cristóbal]

I just picked up today the Voyager 5200 which is the upgrade to the Voyager 
Legend. It has four mics instead of three with all the other bells and whistles 
that go into the voyager line. It’s supposed to have seven hours of talk time. 
So far, I’ve actually found it to be quite comfortable. Much more than the 
legend. It is huge though. I mean, think of a massive hearing aid attached to a 
transformer plastered on the side of your face huge. It is no where near as 
discrete as the edge. That and the edge is super simple to slip on and take 
off. Also, if you wear glasses, I don’t know how you’d be able to use the 5200. 
The edge gives me no problems in this regard. Be it sunglasses or if I wish to 
use my trekz headset at the same time with the edge.

There is the Plantronics 3200 which is the newer version of the Edge and I 
think I may give that one a try. I work from home and sound quality is an 
absolute necesity for me and while the 5200 feels pretty solid so far and has 
one extra mic, man,… the size… 

It seems that the 3200 also has seven hours of talk time. My experience with 
the edge at least is that I can usually get away with two days in between 
charging since it’s not like I’ve got it streaming audio six or seven hours 
straight. When I got my voyager edge, it also came with the charging case that 
is supposed to give you up to two more full charges. I think in the time I’ve 
owned it however, I’ve used it maybe twice. I can’t recall the last time I was 
out and about and needed to charge my edge on the go.

I’m parcial to the Plantronics earpieces for many reasons, ut one of them is 
that they still use an on/off switch instead of a button you have to press and 
hold to turn on and off.

That also depends on whether you want a single earpiece or one for both ears. I 
find when I am out and about walking I prefer to just use a single earpiece 
headset, even if I use the wired Earpods I always just put in the right side 
when I’m walking. They don’t block much sound, but they still block a bit so 
having one ear completely free makes a big difference in my opinion.

I have the Voyager Edge which sits only in the outer part of the ear like the 
Earpods or Airpods and I find it blocks only maybe 20% of the sound if that.

There is no such thing as a bluetooth headset without lag, but the Voyager Edge 
is about as good as they get.

Subject: iPhone SE keyboard keeps on disappearing since iOS 11

Hello list,
Was wondering if others have been dealing with this issue and knew of a fix.
Ever since updating to iOS 11 on my iPhone SE, the keyboard keeps disappearing 
on me. If I’m in the edit field editing or adding text and go back to punch in 
something, instead of the keyboard, I’ll get a button that says keyboard and 
two dictate buttons on each side of the keyboard button. Double tapping that 
keyboard button brings back the keyboard, but man is this getting annoying. It 
happens in every app and all the time. Since it’s only occurred after upgrading 
to iOS 11.1 (I skipped iOS 11.0 entirely), I thought maybe it was part of the 
new OS somehow?
Does anyone have a fix for this or do they know what setting I need to go into 
to disable this feature?
Thanks,
Cristobal

I own a great sounding awsome pair of Plantronics Bluetooth headphones; 
but, notice have a lag time between  the time you access them to connect to the 
iPhone 8 to access Siri.  But, besides that love the sound quality of them and 
noise cancelling capability too.  So would want to try and find somethg that 
would compare.

Thanks.

voyager edge headset-RE: Bluetooth headsets with iPhone

[John R. Vaughn]

Sieghard, under normal use, how  many hours of listening time does the Voyager 
Edge headphones give you? 

Normal use for me is reading E mail, going to web sites and searching for 
travel items.

That also depends on whether you want a single earpiece or one for both ears. I 
find when I am out and about walking I prefer to just use a single earpiece 
headset, even if I use the wired Earpods I always just put in the right side 
when I’m walking. They don’t block much sound, but they still block a bit so 
having one ear completely free makes a big difference in my opinion.

I have the Voyager Edge which sits only in the outer part of the ear like the 
Earpods or Airpods and I find it blocks only maybe 20% of the sound if that.

There is no such thing as a bluetooth headset without lag, but the Voyager Edge 
is about as good as they get.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

If you want sound to be blocked out, Bose headphones are pretty good.  If you 
want to be able to hear what is around you, I think Aftershocks headphones are 
pretty good.

I own a great sounding awsome pair of Plantronics Bluetooth headphones; but, 
notice have a lag time between  the time you access them to connect to the 
iPhone 8 to access Siri.  But, besides that love the sound quality of them and 
noise cancelling capability too.  So would want to try and find somethg that 
would compare.

Thanks.

  The Earpods and Airpods are not meant to go into the ear completely, just 
into the very outside. I find it is easiest to put them in with a sort of 
twisting motion, don’t hold them vertically so the pointy end where the cable 
is attached on the Earpods is straight down, hold them so it points a bit 
forward (between horizontally and vertically). Then put them in your ear and as 
you do this twist them downwards so the cable is not down pointing to your 
shoulder. Of course make sure you put the left in the left ear and the right in 
the right ear as they don’t fit well the other way around. The one with the 
remote control/the microphone should always be your right ear.

RE: A Question About Using the Belkin Rock Star Lightening Splitter

[Sieghard Weitzel]

OK, baby Mark, your choice, but given the large choice of compatible charging 
pads which all have been around for years I'd rather take a leap of faith than 
baby steps especially since on Amazon you can buy two units of many models with 
great ratings for the price of this ridiculously overpriced Belkin Rockstar 
charger.
I once looked at the Belkin charging stand for the Apple Watch which is also a 
Lightning dock for charging your iPhone and I think here in Canada it is $149 
which I think is equally overpriced. I bought a nice stand that is very similar 
on Amazon for $50 although on that one you have to insert your magnetic watch 
charger into a pre-drilled hole, but that's not a big deal and in addition to 
letting me charge my Apple Watch and my iPhone on the dock, it also has two USB 
outputs in the back where you can plug in say a Micro USB cable for charging 
most bluetooth earpieces or speakers and I use the second one to plug in my 
Lightning cable so if I want to use the phone while it is charging I can plug 
the cable in instead of sticking it onto the dock.
The only feature the Belkin stand has which is super nice is that it has a 
3.5mm headphone jack so here you can actually charge your headphone 
jack-lacking iPhone 7 or 8 on the dock and use a 3.5mm headset of your choice 
at the same time. If you like to use your iPhone primarily with a bluetooth 
keyboard then this is an even more attractive option.
OK, now make sure you don't fall and if you progress to a bicycle don't forget 
to put on the training wheels *smile*

Take care,

I'm surprised Mark bought the splitter, the iPhone 8/8 Plus have wireless 
charging and if I bought one I'd rather invest in 2 or 3 charging pads.
I would put one of these on my night table next to my bed where the iPhone is 
at night, one on my desk at work where I am sitting most of the day and maybe 
one in the living room or kitchen. This way if I put the phone on the charging 
pad in the evening I can use the Lightning headset while the phone is charging. 
I will have a fully charged phone in the morning, while I'm at work I can put 
it on the pad on my desk later in the day (chances are I'll still have between 
50 and 80% at that point) and again my phone will be fully charged when I go 
home.
If I need to charge it fast or if I want to use an external battery while I'm 
out and about I can still plug it in and just use a bluetooth headset for these 
occasions. I just think that being able to charge your phone while it's just 
sitting on the desk or the night table without having to plug it in would 
result in me having a fully or almost fully charged phone most of the time and 
personally I certainly doubt I would miss being able to plug it in and use a 
wired headset at the same time. For this same reason I would never have bought 
the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus since with it you don't have a choice.
OK, now that is my story and I'm sticking to it no matter what Mark has to say

Hello Alan, et al:

Well, as it turns out, I had a bad adapter.  

I simply took the unit into the Apple Store, along with my receipt of course, 
and they swapped it out.

Before I left the shopping center, I tested it and it works beautifully.

Thank you all for your feedback on this.

I never unplug my Lightning cable that is plugged into a power bar under my 
bed, it just hangs there and when I want to use it I plug in the iPhone end and 
that's that. I don't see why you would need to unplug a wireless charging pad.

Oh believe me Sieghard, a wireless charging unit is definitely on my list.  
However, it's a very new market and I want to see how the proverbial dust 
settles before investing in yet more hardware equipment.

Subject: RE: A Question About Using the Belkin Rock Star Lightening Splitter

I'm surprised Mark bought the splitter, the iPhone 8/8 Plus have wireless 
charging and if I bought one I'd rather invest in 2 or 3 charging pads.
I would put one of these on my night table next to my bed where the iPhone is 
at night, one on my desk at work where I am sitting most of the day and maybe 
one in the living room or kitchen. This way if I put the phone on the charging 
pad in the evening I can use the Lightning headset while the phone is charging. 
I will have a fully charged phone in the morning, while I'm at work I can put 
it on the pad on my desk later in the day (chances are I'll still have between 
50 and 80% at that point) and again my phone will be fully charged when I go 
home.
If I need to charge it fast or if I want to use an external battery while I'm 
out and about I can still plug it in and just use a bluetooth headset for these 
occasions. I just think that being able to charge your phone while it's just 
sitting on the desk or the night table without having to plug it in would 
result in me having a fully or almost fully charged phone most of the time and 
personally I certainly doubt I would miss being able to plug it in and use a

RE: OT favorite iPhone apps

[M. Taylor]

Hello Maria,

This is a great question.

Well, as for me, up until a month or so ago I would have listed my two favorite 
apps as being the Twitter for iOS app and the CVS Pharmacy app.  However, now 
that both have some VoiceOver issues, I don't know.  

I suppose the app I look the most forwad to using would be the Over Drive 
Public Library app, for audio books.

I truly do appreciate the freedom that my financial apps afford me but they're 
more tools than anything else.  

Okay, as of today, my favorite app would have to be the TV Guide Mobile and the 
NFB News Line apps.  But maybe not, there are just too many to choose from (big 
smile).

RE: Bluetooth headsets with iPhone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

The Earpods and Airpods are not meant to go into the ear completely, just into 
the very outside. I find it is easiest to put them in with a sort of twisting 
motion, don’t hold them vertically so the pointy end where the cable is 
attached on the Earpods is straight down, hold them so it points a bit forward 
(between horizontally and vertically). Then put them in your ear and as you do 
this twist them downwards so the cable is not down pointing to your shoulder. 
Of course make sure you put the left in the left ear and the right in the right 
ear as they don’t fit well the other way around. The one with the remote 
control/the microphone should always be your right ear.

Sieghard

RE: Bluetooth headsets with iPhone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Not completely wireless is an interesting statement, either a hedset is wired 
or wireless, but I think I know what they guy meant if they are the Beats my 
wife has. They are bluetooth/wireless, but there is a cable connecting left and

Most everyone you receive email from will have a a different opinion.
When I went to the BestBuy store in my area the salesman sold the beats to me
He said that they sounded identical to the Apple AirPods except they were not 
completely wireless.
I disagreed.

RE: Bluetooth headsets with iPhone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

That also depends on whether you want a single earpiece or one for both ears. I 
find when I am out and about walking I prefer to just use a single earpiece 
headset, even if I use the wired Earpods I always just put in the right side 
when I’m walking. They don’t block much sound, but they still block a bit so 
having one ear completely free makes a big difference in my opinion.
I have the Voyager Edge which sits only in the outer part of the ear like the 
Earpods or Airpods and I find it blocks only maybe 20% of the sound if that.
There is no such thing as a bluetooth headset without lag, but the Voyager Edge 
is about as good as they get.

Regards,
Sieghard

If you want sound to be blocked out, Bose headphones are pretty good.  If you

pretty good.

RE: A Question About Using the Belkin Rock Star Lightening Splitter

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I'm surprised Mark bought the splitter, the iPhone 8/8 Plus have wireless 
charging and if I bought one I'd rather invest in 2 or 3 charging pads.
I would put one of these on my night table next to my bed where the iPhone is 
at night, one on my desk at work where I am sitting most of the day and maybe 
one in the living room or kitchen. This way if I put the phone on the charging 
pad in the evening I can use the Lightning headset while the phone is charging. 
I will have a fully charged phone in the morning, while I'm at work I can put 
it on the pad on my desk later in the day (chances are I'll still have between 
50 and 80% at that point) and again my phone will be fully charged when I go 
home.
If I need to charge it fast or if I want to use an external battery while I'm 
out and about I can still plug it in and just use a bluetooth headset for these 
occasions. I just think that being able to charge your phone while it's just 
sitting on the desk or the night table without having to plug it in would 
result in me having a fully or almost fully charged phone most of the time and 
personally I certainly doubt I would miss being able to plug it in and use a 
wired headset at the same time. For this same reason I would never have bought 
the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus since with it you don't have a choice.
OK, now that is my story and I'm sticking to it no matter what Mark has to say 
*smile*

Sieghard

Re: Bluetooth headsets with iPhone

[Richard Turner]

They are covers over the Apple Airpods, at least the ES2 ones are. THE ES1 
version are for standard earbuds.
I watched a video review that spoke highly of them.
They are $10.95 at both Amazon and Earskinz.com

HTH,
Richard

Actually,
For the AirPods, you can get something called ear skins. They are on Amazon. If 
you search E space a space are space SKINZ you’ll find it. Sorry for the way 
that my phone spelled that. But I thought I would go ahead and spell it for 
y’all. In case you guys are interested. They work for the Apple earbuds by 
default, for the lightning earbuds, and the standard SE your buds. Just thought 
I would throw this out there. Best, regards,

 While Seeing AI needs to be a bit higher off the page, it does a better 
 job in the document channel than KNFB Reader and it is free.
 It maintains the format of the original text more than other OCR apps and 
 since KNFB Reader ignores all formatting, it is my go to app for scanning 
 whole pages.
 I just tried to enter a review in the app store for KNFB Reader and the 
 Write a Review button did nothing. My sighted wife, with VoiceOver off, 
 couldn't activate the button either.
  
 All other buttons and links worked fine.
 It could be that KNFB Reader is on its way out.

 Hi all
 Seek inputs on the following
 1. How to convert images scanned via KNFB reader to read them on a 
 computer.
 2. Often while importing text images from whatsapp to KNFB reader, they 
 get quite distorted. Apart from improving the quality of the photo and the 
 paper being captured, is there any inbult function in the KNFB reader so 
 that it can make better sense of the text in the image?
 
 Thanks in anticipation

Re: OT favorite iPhone apps

[Anthony Vece]

I like ooTunes.

I can listen to anything on this app.

If it is not listed in my favorites or in the app itself, I simply write to the 
developer and, he adds it just like that.

Re: Bluetooth headsets with iPhone

[doug oliver]

Actually,
For the AirPods, you can get something called ear skins. They are on Amazon. If 
you search E space a space are space SKINZ you’ll find it. Sorry for the way 
that my phone spelled that. But I thought I would go ahead and spell it for 
y’all. In case you guys are interested. They work for the Apple earbuds by 
default, for the lightning earbuds, and the standard SE your buds. Just thought 
I would throw this out there. Best, regards,

Re: Doubts pertaining to KNFB reader

Turab,
Chris's method works much better than what I gave you. Mine is the original 
method, given in the manual, but touching the file with one finger and flicking 
up to share works much better.
Thanks Chris.

While Seeing AI needs to be a bit higher off the page, it does a better job in 
the document channel than KNFB Reader and it is free.
It maintains the format of the original text more than other OCR apps and since 
KNFB Reader ignores all formatting, it is my go to app for scanning whole pages.
I just tried to enter a review in the app store for KNFB Reader and the Write a 
Review button did nothing. My sighted wife, with VoiceOver off, couldn't

All other buttons and links worked fine.
It could be that KNFB Reader is on its way out.

Judy,
Do you know about the two finger scrub?
That will activate the back button.
I've found that if you put two fingers on the screen and keep contact on the 
screen while you do a very fast circle a little larger than a quarter, it works 
every time. Some people have trouble with the standard scrub gesture which is 
quickly making a print Z.
HTH,

Re: fyi - FW: Blindfold Games: The games are back!

[MamaPeach]

This is great, it makes me feel that apple does listen. I wrote them a long 
email explaining how these apps are a must for the blind community and that 
they should take a closer look at the apps and see that they are different and 
that there really is no way that the developer could merge them. I went on and 
on and on about how unfair they were being. My email to them probably didn’t 
make a difference, but I hope in some way that it did.

Subject: Blindfold Games: The games are back!

 

I received a call from Adam tonight, and he said the review team had a chance 
to look at the Blindfold Games again, and understood why they are separate 
apps, and that the games can continue.  He mentioned games address a need 
that’s not normally considered by most app designers, and acknowledged how the 
games are focused on the needs of the visually impaired community.

New updates will be processed, and new games will be reviewed as before.   I’ll 
go into more details about the discussion in a blog next week, but I wanted to 
get the word out to everyone.

I want to thank the everyone for contacting Apple and spreading the word about 
the games.  I have heard from so many people – far more than I had hoped – 
telling me how much the games mean to them, and how they appreciate my efforts. 
 It has meant a lot to me, and I truly thank you.

Have a great weekend!

Marty

Subject: Blindfold Games: The games are back!

 

I received a call from Adam tonight, and he said the review team had a chance 
to look at the Blindfold Games again, and understood why they are separate 
apps, and that the games can continue.  He mentioned games address a need 
that’s not normally considered by most app designers, and acknowledged how the 
games are focused on the needs of the visually impaired community.

New updates will be processed, and new games will be reviewed as before.   I’ll 
go into more details about the discussion in a blog next week, but I wanted to 
get the word out to everyone.

I want to thank the everyone for contacting Apple and spreading the word about 
the games.  I have heard from so many people – far more than I had hoped – 
telling me how much the games mean to them, and how they appreciate my efforts. 
 It has meant a lot to me, and I truly thank you.

Have a great weekend!

Re: OT favorite iPhone apps

[MamaPeach]

I know a lot of people will list apps that help them scan products and other 
assistive type apps, but mine right now, and this is only because we have a 
huge DVD collection in our house, is an app called Kimico's Movie Buddy. It 
lets you catalog your movies so you will have a list of them with you at all 
times. Many times we have been out somewhere looking at DVDs in the store, 
and just can't remember if we already own something, this list helps us know 
what we have, so we do not end up buying the same DVD twice. It is great and 
works well with Voice Over. There is so much you can do with this app, I 
haven't discovered everything just yet.

Re: Bluetooth headsets with iPhone

[Anthony Vece]

Most everyone you receive email from will have a a different opinion.
When I went to the BestBuy store in my area the salesman sold the beats to me
He said that they sounded identical to the Apple AirPods except they were not 
completely wireless.
I disagreed.

Thanks

Well my Plantronics will block out sound wen have them on my ears as they cover 
both ears.  So don’t want that when waling and surely don’t want any lag time 
either when needing to use them.

If you want sound to be blocked out, Bose headphones are pretty good.  If you 
want to be able to hear what is around you, I think Aftershocks headphones are 
pretty good.

Re: Bluetooth headsets with iPhone

[Ryan Mann]

If you want sound to be blocked out, Bose headphones are pretty good.  If you 
want to be able to hear what is around you, I think Aftershocks headphones are 
pretty good.

Bluetooth headsets with iPhone

[donaldrisavy]

Wondered which Bluetooth headset is the best for use with the iPhone for use
when walking around and using the phone for navigational help and or
assistance that don't have a lot of lag time to them and that will also be
very comfortable too?

I own a great sounding awsome pair of Plantronics Bluetooth headphones; but,
notice have a lag time between  the time you access them to connect to the
iPhone 8 to access Siri.  But, besides that love the sound quality of them
and noise cancelling capability too.  So would want to try and find somethg
that would compare.

Thanks.

Don

Re: Doubts pertaining to KNFB reader

[Chris Chaffin]

I have never had this problem, but have you tried exploring the screen with 
your finger and find and put focus on the back button that way?
Just for information, the back button is in the top left corner.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Doubts pertaining to KNFB reader

[Chris Chaffin]

To share a file in KNFB Reader, go to file explorer, swipe to the file you want 
to share, flick up with one finger and double tap on share.  It should ask to 
choose file type, swipe to the file type and double tap, then the share sheet 
should pop up.  Choose how you would like to share the file and double tap.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Doubts pertaining to KNFB reader

[Judy Pryor]

I have a question about KNFB the only way I can get the back button to work 
after scaning is to use a BT keyboard. To do it by flicking up just goes back 
into what I have just scanned. I have tried putting the phone on the table but 
no good. I have am SE running 10.33

Re: Doubts pertaining to KNFB reader

[Turabh]

Richard thanks for the inputs. But after  tapping on edit and then  selecting 
the document to be  exported the Share button though  present  is unavailable. 
Am I making a mistake?

Re: screen acting strange on my iphoen 7

[Dave]

Sandra, maybe you could have your phone, for christmas dinner this year, 
instead of Turkey, it sounds quite nutritious!


Don't forget, to wrap it in baking foil, to keep in the juices, for making 
the gravy. lol.

Sieghard,
I  use my phone a lot in the kitchen, whilst cooking. like you, I consider 
it to be tough enough to with stand some sticky patches. I have even been 
known to leave the odd grain of rice or P adhering to the surface as useful 
markers! sort of cheap form of speed dots. however, as my iPhone 6 is 
misbehaving a little, since the latest couple of updates, I might try 
washing the screen… VOs focus isn’t always good and this may be the answer!


happy cooking with your iPhone, Sandy

which means if there is a bit of moisture it won't run into the cut at the 
top of the screen where the earpiece is or get in around the home button 
and then I just rub it down, then I use a dry part of the towel and dry it 
off.

If you have a screen protector that can of course also be the problem.

Hey guys

OK, i've had this happen before, and it seems to have no explaination.
I can not hit anything on the right side of my screen on my iphone 7.
I have to depress the screen very very hard, and i don't wanna damage
anything.  This has happened before.  Like if i go to the very right
of my phone and press the icons, voiceover says nothing.  When this
has happened before i'll let the phone for several hours and it fixes
itself.  Any ideas?
