Getting rid of Flash messages

[turab chimthanawala]

Hi all
Is there a way to deactivate flash messages? I keep getting them
indicating the mobile data consumed. They are a huge nuisance as they
pause ongoing applications or tend to hang the phone.
Best
Turab

RE: Audible and Amazon Echo

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Thanks, Marie, it wasn't clear to me since you originally said: Yes Amazon 
music is available on the Echo if you are a prime member
I will have to call Sonos tomorrow because I'm in Canada and if I go into the 
Music Services there is no Amazon Music option.

Sieghard and others,

I don't listen to Kindle books with my Echo but I've gotten to where I read 
most of my Audible books with it. And you can ask Alexa to rewind an Audible 
book a desired time period. I've asked her to successfully rewind 30 seconds up 
to 5 minutes and it worked fine.

How good is the integration between Audible and the Echo/Alexa? I
assume since Audible is owned by Amazon it should be perfect, but
nothing much is said about using Audible or, for that matter, Kindle
books on an Echo.

Also, for those who have any of the Echo speakers, have you used a

RE: Amazon Prime Video on Apple TV

My wife’s got one, but I haven’t really played with it. I think the female 
voice it uses is Sally from Ivona.

Anyone know if Kodi and any of the various extensions are at all accessible?

I don’t think so. I do have an Apple TV fourth generation, although I don’t use

haven’t seen anything about the release. So I don’t think they have. Frankly I

Sieghard and others,

I don't listen to Kindle books with my Echo but I've gotten to where I read 
most of my Audible books with it. And you can ask Alexa to rewind an Audible 
book a desired time period. I've asked her to successfully rewind 30 seconds 
up to 5 minutes and it worked fine.

Interesting, I would have thought you could at least rewind or skip by a 
particular time interval like in the Audible app in addition to using 
chapter navigation. I never speed up a book and I don't like reading eBooks

Actually Echo can play many Kindle books but not all. It has no navigation 
in Kindle books though. The only navigation it has in Audible is by chapter 
so I don't think it's that useful. And, you cannot change the speed of the 
books which some people want to do. But if you don't mind just reading 
straight through the book, it works OK with Audible and with some Kindle 
books. I think there are much better ways to do Audible.

Hi,



How good is the integration between Audible and the Echo/Alexa? I
assume since Audible is owned by Amazon it should be perfect, but
nothing much is said about using Audible or, for that matter, Kindle
books on an Echo.

Also, for those who have any of the Echo speakers, have you used a
wired and also a bluetooth headset for private listening? I assume it
should work just fine?

Sieghard

Is there any way to get Tune in premium to play on my Sonos system? I have 
radio by Tune in on the browse menu but it does not appear to be the premium 
version. I would love to listen to the NFL games like I do the MLB games.

Could you use Tunein Premium with a Chromecast audio so one isn't draining the 
iPhone battery to do the Airplay thing?

Re: Audible and Amazon Echo

[Lois Butterfield]

Well, time does fly, and I stand corrected once again.  I do like that I can 
listen to my Kindle books that way.  I'm keeping my Windows computer because 
of the Codex program to convert books for VDR.  Maybe I won't need to do 
that so much now.


Thanks everybody,

Actually Echo can play many Kindle books but not all. It has no navigation 
in Kindle books though. The only navigation it has in Audible is by chapter 
so I don't think it's that useful. And, you cannot change the speed of the 
books which some people want to do. But if you don't mind just reading 
straight through the book, it works OK with Audible and with some Kindle 
books. I think there are much better ways to do Audible.

Hi,



How good is the integration between Audible and the Echo/Alexa? I
assume since Audible is owned by Amazon it should be perfect, but
nothing much is said about using Audible or, for that matter, Kindle
books on an Echo.

Also, for those who have any of the Echo speakers, have you used a
wired and also a bluetooth headset for private listening? I assume it
should work just fine?

Re: Audible and Amazon Echo

[Mary Otten]

Kindle books are played using the Alexis built invoice. Audible books play and 
sync up quite nicely with your other devices. So, let’s say you are doing 
something in the kitchen, which is where my echo is located. You get done in 
there I want to go somewhere else. Your phone or whatever else you use to play 
Audible will be right in line with where you left off using Alexa to play or 
audible book. There is an a lot of decent navigation like rewinding at Cetera, 
as has been pointed out. I don’t use the feature that much, but it works well 
for what it is.

Interesting, I would have thought you could at least rewind or skip by a 
particular time interval like in the Audible app in addition to using chapter 
navigation. I never speed up a book and I don't like reading eBooks because I 
much prefer a human reader.

Hi,



How good is the integration between Audible and the Echo/Alexa? I assume
since Audible is owned by Amazon it should be perfect, but nothing much
is
said about using Audible or, for that matter, Kindle books on an Echo.

Also, for those who have any of the Echo speakers, have you used a wired
and
also a bluetooth headset for private listening? I assume it should work

fine?

Audible is by chapter so I don't think it's that useful. And, you
cannot change the speed of the books which some people want to do. But
if you don't mind just reading straight through the book, it works OK
with Audible and with some Kindle books. I think there are much better
ways to do Audible.

Re: Audible and Amazon Echo

[Lois Butterfield]

I would say that she is using her Echo as a speaker for her phone.  If you 
do that, you can play any app your phone can play.  That is my guess anyway.

Hi,



How good is the integration between Audible and the Echo/Alexa? I assume
since Audible is owned by Amazon it should be perfect, but nothing much is
said about using Audible or, for that matter, Kindle books on an Echo.

Also, for those who have any of the Echo speakers, have you used a wired

Re: Amazon Echo devices

[Denny Schwab]

Hi,

What does the hub in the Echo Plus give you?  We have an Echo Dot
currently, and were planning on getting a few more since we were
liking it so far.  We are also getting two Nest Learning Thermostats,
a Roku, a Roomba, and a few other items that say they work with Alexa.
Do we need the hub to work with these other devices, or will the Echo
Dot do just fine?  We don't really care about the speaker quality,
since we too have the Sonos around the house.

RE: Favorite VO voices?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

As many have pointed out, what you think of the various TTS voices is highly 
subjective. I use Eloquence with Jaws, but if I want a higher quality voice I 
certainly find quite a few of the Vocalizer voices you can download for use 
with Jaws very good and definitely not sucks. I think this is one area where we 
all just have to agree that we disagree in what we like or don't like.

let's put it this way. pretty much all vocaliser sucks, particularly the newer

because she was once a loquendo TTS, but the rest, no hope. I wish we had 
acapela, but even in acapela, most of the males sound flat and depressing. 
Sharon is just too deep. and don't get me started on ivona. as for NeoSpeech, 
Kate sounds angry, she almost sounds like she's yelling at you. LOL that's

RE: Amazon Echo devices

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Mich,

A quick Google search for “Amazon Echo on BestBuy.ca” gave me a link to the 
“Amazon Echo Store” on the canadian Best Buy 
site where you 
apparently can also preorder any of the 3 Echo speakers for the introductory 
price.
I would still order from Amazon directly, though, it’s their product and they 
offer a great return policy so why not get it from them.

Take care,

Subject: Amazon Echo devices

Hi,

As Alexa is going to finally make it to Canada on December 5,
Amazon.ca now has the Echo Dot, Echo and Echo Plus for sale at a special 
preorder price.

Could some of you from the States or other countries where Alexa has been 
available explain a bit why I might want to own at least one Echo Plus which it 
is said has a built-in smart home hub? Or do I even want one of these?
How is the sound on the Echo Dot, I understand it is meant to be connected to 
other speakers or maybe even a receiver, but there is also mention that it has 
a small built-in speaker, is that pretty OK for say listening to Podcasts or an 
Audible book?
I am still potentially looking at buying a sonos 1 as well, but for some reason 
I thought the Echo speakers were more expensive so especially the echo Dot at 
an introductory price of $49.99 Canadian (regularly $69.99 after the 
introductory special is over) might be a good choice. The regular Echo is on 
for $99.99 (regular price will be $129.99 and the Echo Plus is on for $169.99 
(regular $199.99).
I like the fact that all speakers apparently have a 3.5mm output jack and also 
can send audio to a bluetooth headset. This might totally be the way how I 
might listen to Audible books, insjtead of having to use my iPhone with headset 
when I go to bed I could have an Echo Dot or Echo beside the bed and use it 
either with a wired or bluetooth headset.
It also mentions any of the Echo speakers can do “Free audio calls to Canada, 
the US and Mexico”. Does this mean I can tell it to call a particular number 
just like I tell SIRI or can it even call a business just by saying call so and 
so company?

Best regards,
Sieghard

RE: Amazon Echo devices

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Thanks, Deb, that was a very good summary and I am glad you mentioned that I 
could plug an Echo Dot into Sonos.
I did sort of read a bit more after I sent my message and read about the Echo 
Plus. We have a bunch of Philipps Hue lights and while I am not totally sure 
about this, it sounds almost like you wouldn't need the Philipps Hue bridge if 
you have an Echo Plus with the smart home hub, but then again we of course 
already have the Philipps Hue Bridge and I also assume that if I removed it 
maybe the lights wouldn't respond to SIRI any more?
I forgot about the Tap, it was  not even listed, but it sounds from what you 
said it's still being developed?
I think I will probably order one of each, an Echo Plus which for $169 right 
now also comes with 1 Philipps Hue bulb as a bonus and then we'll probably get 
an echo and a Dot and this way we can just test them and use them for a week or 
so and I assume Amazon's return policy applies if we decide we don't need the 
Echo Plus, for example. I am not overly concerned with the sound quality since 
we do have Sonos throughout the house and while at $169.99 the Echo Plus is 
still $70 cheaper than a Sonos 1, I believe we might get more use out of the 
Sonos 1.
I like the idea of the intercom function, I think they call it Drop In, where 
you can just ask Alexa to drop in with another Echo in your house and you can 
talk just as with an intercom.
Might even get a couple of Echo Dot at my store to use them for that, even if 
you primarily use it as an Intercom for $49.99/each that is not bad at all.
I have a feeling that if these things work as good as I expect they will that 
for using them for our Hue lights and the new Honeywell Lyrick T5 thermostat I 
should get in a week or so these will be easier to use than SIRI via the phone 
since they are always there ready to be used. Yes, Hey SIRI works well on the 
phone as well, but often I have my phone in my pocket or belt holster and Hey 
SIRI works only if the phone's screen isn't covered.

Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: Re: Amazon Echo devices

I believe the deals are only on Amazon but the easiest way to figure that out 
is to check other sites.
OK. So here's my run down on the Echo family.
If you want to use A for smart home stuff I highly recommend one Echo Plus so 
you'll ahve the hub built in. It's a lot of crap otherwise.
But it's really easy and efficient with the plus. You only need one Plus. Once 
you've got a hub, everything else will use it. Kind of like a router for your 
modem. Th ePlus is the best sounding Echo as well so all in all I'd go for that.
So then the real question is about the Echo 2 aqnd the dots. Dots are 
inexpensive, they'll sound cheap because they have no base at all. But you can 
plug them into something else including your Sonos, so that's OK. Amazon thinks 
you should just put htose around. So again, depending on how smart you plan to 
make your home, Dots are useful to ut in rooms where she needs to hear you give 
a command to something.
The Echo 2 sounds much better than the dot but not as good as the plus. It's 
twice the price of the Dot in the states and you don't quite get what you pay 
for. But still, if you're going to actually listen to music on it and if you're 
not plugging into something else, they're significantly better than the Dot.
The Tap is still in production too. It sounds pretty good. Not quite as good as 
the Plus but actually better then the Echo 2 I think. And it's portable. But it 
has limitations with respect to your smart home plan.

I rather like the new ring tone.  So much so that I have set it as my default

Reflection sounds so mediocre. I could not believe Apple created this as an 
iPhone X exclusive. With the money it has, it could have hired great composers 
and musicians to create memorable iPhone ring tones for the iPhone X. After 
hearing reflection for the first time, I was motivated to learn how to create 
my own ring tones using MP3 Direct Cut and online conversion services. I now 
have a set of 30 second clips I use as ring tones from some of the best music 
in jazz and rock and roll from people like Eric Clapton, Joe cocker, Todd 
Rundgren, Bob Dylan, The Band, Miles Davis, Kenny Burrell and the Beatles.

However there are a lot of ways to take this ringtone and put in

 No, Pablo, you are correct, people won't buy it for the ringtone, but
 they'll buy it because the iPhone X is the best, fastest smartphone
 ever with the best camera ever and it's so awesome that samsung
 realized that they have burned their bridges (I mean their Note 7) and
 they are now just handing it all over to Apple *smile*

 I don't think that anybody is going to buy a iPhone for that price,
 just due to the beauty of a ring tone. I don't think that people is that 
 stupid.
 However there are a lot of ways to take this ringtone and put in
 another devices, even not being apple brand.

Re: Favorite VO voices?

[rajmund .]

let's put it this way. pretty much all vocaliser sucks, particularly the 
newer ones. Samantha is kind of tolerable, Kate has some weird emotions, 
presumably because she was once a loquendo TTS, but the rest, no hope. I 
wish we had acapela, but even in acapela, most of the males sound flat 
and depressing. Sharon is just too deep. and don't get me started on 
ivona. as for NeoSpeech, Kate sounds angry, she almost sounds like she's 
yelling at you. LOL that's probably enough from me.

NeoSpeech Julie. She sounds all breathy. A friend of mine really likes her, but 
I'm not really a fan. I pull a face every time I visit a Chase ATM, because 
she's the voice on there. Ugh. If they'd gone with Kate or James when they 
switched from Eloquence, I'd be happier.

other voices like Ava and Sharon, for instance, that I think must have been 
made to appeal to men, because they sound like they’re trying to be seductive.

I'm a huge, huge NeoSpeech fan, myself. If I could get Kate, James, Ashley, and

For now, though, I use compact Samantha. I can't stand her HQ version. She says 
things all weird. she has weird up/down inflections in her voice between words 
and within words. A ton of the Acapela voices have this issue, too. It's why I 
can't stand Heather. The Ivona voices have this issue too, somewhat. But 
probably my biggest issue with them is that they're so flatbe it's why Sally 
drives me nuts. She's pleasant enough to listen to, if you can get over how 
incredibly bored she sounds.

The other voices I use are conpact Karen (the same issues I have with HQ 
Samantha I also have with HQ Karen) and the HQ version of the old female 
British English Siri voice. Funnily enough, I actually prefer her HQ version.

Speaking of HQ  old Siri voices, has Apple fixed the issue of not being able to 
use these voices in other apps, like Voice Dream Reader and the Blindfold 
games? I'd really love to use the HQ version of the old British English Siri 
voice in these apps, but I can't. Either she doesn't show up, or when selected, 
doesn't work, and the LQ version is used instead.


Thanks,
Ari

love these new voices I wish they would open it up and let us add other text to

Re: Tune In and sonos

TuneIn does support ChromeCast, but I'm not sure if this helps in this

hi,
if you use NVDA and firefox, as I personally have, so can't speak to

clickable, the file will download no problem.

Hello Kelly,

I guess it's a matter of opinion.

I rather like the new ring tone.  So much so that I have set it as my default 
on my iPhone 8 Plus.  Once I get tired of it, I'll demote it to something used 
less frequently, say, new voicemail notifications.  (smile)

Reflection sounds so mediocre. I could not believe Apple created this as an 
iPhone X exclusive. With the money it has, it could have hired great composers 
and musicians to create memorable iPhone ring tones for the iPhone X. After 
hearing reflection for the first time, I was motivated to learn how to create

have a set of 30 second clips I use as ring tones from some of the best music 
in jazz and rock and roll from people like Eric Clapton, Joe cocker, Todd

How To Download iPhone X Exclusive Reflection Ringtone And Then Set As
Default On Any iPhone By Paul Morris | November 2nd, 2017

Here's how you can download the official iPhone X exclusive Reflection
ringtone and then set it as default on an iPhone.

It was recently discovered that Apple's brand new flagship ships with
a new default ringtone called Reflection which is exclusive to that
particular device. As always, the Internet wasn't having that and it's
now available to obtain and load onto other iOS
