applewatch low power mode

[Cihan Yazıcı]

 

hello group friends;

 

applewatch ramen to all updates; When we put our watch into low power mode,
it causes the watch to turn off all operations.

That's the meaning in low power mode anyway.

but; as you know you can not use the screen reader.

I gave feedback to the feedback team related to the correction of this
problem.

no progress has been made until now.

I wanted to share with you all the common problems of finding a way to be a
group.

I wish you success in your work.

Messages no longer showing contact names

[R Van Lant]

Suddenly the  other day, all the message threads on my phone no longer show the 
names from my contact list,  but rather only show the phone number.  After 
sending and receiving a text from my husband, his name is showing up now.  I 
texted my mom, thinking that might trigger it, but now have one message thread 
with her name an another older one with just her number.  A Friend in my 
contacts texted me for the first time and her message also just came up with a 
number.  I've turned off my phone and checked for any IOS updates, but still no 
change.  Even when my husband called me the other day, caller ID did not 
identify him by name.  Anyone seen this before?  On a 6S running IOS 12

RE: Instant Pot Smart WiFi Pairing Guide

[Alan Lemly]

Actually, the name of the new Instant Pot cooker is the Instant Pot Smart WiFi 
6 Quart Electric Pressure Cooker if you look at it on Amazon which seems to 
clearly indicate it is a wifi as opposed to a Bluetooth model. It is still on 
sale for $90 versus its regular retail price of $149.95. You can find it at 
this link:

 

https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Smart-Electric-Pressure/dp/B0777XQ4S8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8

not keeping track of which one is which… I know I’ve always refered to my 
bluetooth model as just that. I’ve never confused it for or have called it the

I guess folks could buy the wifi one and see if they can work around the 
accessibility issues in the meantime until Instant Pot gets around to putting

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker

Well as long as the buttons are labeled I can do fine with the app.
Yes I am sure it might need some work but if it's usable it's a go.

RE: Instant Pot Smart WiFi Pairing Guide

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

SO! Many! Exclamation marks!

The only one being sold is the wifi model. There is no bluetooth version 
anymore. Hasn’t been since I think early this year or last. If you bought one 
with connectivity, it’s by default the wifi version.

Where did you buy it from that it didn’t say which model it was? Outside of a 
private sale perhaps, I’m incredulous that the listing didn’t say what model 
instant pot it was anywhere. Be it ultra, wifi, mini, etc. How did you 
otherwise know you were buying the one you wanted then?

Re: Using the calendar

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello to all of you who offered help with the Calendar App.


I really appreciate the help and suggestions. I did purchase 
Fantastical. So now it's just getting used to them both. But I am 
looking forward to it.


Thank you again for the much needed help.

Re: Instant Pot Smart WiFi Pairing Guide

[Steve Matzura]

What's interesting is that the sale advertisement did not indicate one 
way or the other which type of networking is required, and neither is it 
stated on the box!

I don’t know if people were giving “bad information” as much as 
perhaps people not keeping track of which one is which… I know I’ve 
always refered to my bluetooth model as just that. I’ve never confused 
it for or have called it the wifi model.


I guess folks could buy the wifi one and see if they can work around 
the accessibility issues in the meantime until Instant Pot gets around 
to putting out an app update. No guaranty that they will, but there 
you go.

RE: Instant Pot Smart WiFi Pairing Guide

It has been made clear multiple times that there are indeed two different 
models. A bluetooth model that has since been discontinued which some of us 
have and can be accessed via a fully accessible app and this new wifi model 
which apparently has some app accessibility challenges.

I don’t know if people were giving “bad information” as much as perhaps people 
not keeping track of which one is which… I know I’ve always refered to my 
bluetooth model as just that. I’ve never confused it for or have called it the

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker

This is a very interesting thread. This is the second message saying 
there are two distinctly different control types--Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. I 
have mine, but have not yet opened it. Will have to be very sure which 
one I got before cracking the box open. If it's the older one, I think 
I'll be exchanging it for the newer Wi-Fi-connectable model.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker

[Steve Matzura]

If they did it right, they'd do it like the Amazon devices, where the 
device sets up an ad-hoc network, the phone finds it, logs into it, and 
does its thing. But with my luck, it's probably just as you say, 
requiring sighted assistance to set up the Wi-Fi portion on the pot.

based on what I've heard.

they have a customer service number that you can call and order to get some
help to find out which button you might need to press in order to accomplish
the pairing.

Hi,

One thing that can help you find the apps you want is to make sure they're in 
list view rather than grid view. In list view, they're in alphabetical order, 
and you can use the digital crown to scroll through them. To get them in list 
view, do the following:

1. Wake your watch.

2. Press the digital crown to go to the screen containing your apps.

3. Force press. To do this press, the screen until you feel a vibration. Force 
pressing is often a way to get to additional options in an app.

4. There are two buttons on the screen - Grid View and List View. Double-tap 
List View.

Settings is one of the apps. You can also ask Siri to open apps, or choose 
recent or favorite apps from the dock, depending on how you configure the dock. 
You get to the dock by pressing the side button, the one next to the digital 
crown.

Again, though, most of the settings are available in the Watch app on your 
phone.

I hope that helps.

Best,
Anna

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker

[Kimber Gardner]

There really isn't though I'm sure they think the app is accessible
since all the elements are labeled. The problem is mainly with
navigation. You just can't move through the options the way you should
be able to while using VO.

I will definitely be emailing their support address and explaining why
I am returning the cooker.

 I do not have the wifi model, but when I couldn't get the BlueToot
 model to pair, I asked the FaceBook Instant Pot group for help. The
 person who responded told me there was a small button on the front of
 the pot that needed to be pressed in and held for a few seconds to
 activate the initial connection. After I did this (I needed sighted
 help), the Bluetooth connection worked.

 Sometimes I have to attempt the whole pairingprocess more than once.
 With Bluetooth, it helps to be in front of the actual pot -- not
 pairing from another room -- and sometimes it also helps to unplug the
 Instant Pot and then plug it in again.

 Good luck, I hope you get this to work, and I'm also interested to
 know if the app seems to be totally accessible, as it was for the
 Bluetooth model.

Ugh, I have that problem all the time, Sieghard! It's so annoying when I say 
the name of (what used to be) my local train station, and the name of my 
then apartment complex gets inserted instead. They have words in common in 
their names--my complex was called Del Norte Place, and the shortened form 
of one of the two local train stations is Del Norte. They're both in the 
same city, and one is called El Cerrito Plaza station while the other is 
called El Cerrito Del Norte station, so you can see why they got shortened 
to Plaza and Del Norte. But every time I'd say Del Norte to coordinate with 
my husband where we'd be meeting, dictation would enter the name of my 
apartment complex, which is totally stupid.



Thanks,
Ari

I'd believe that it was my rather slight accent, but it's not like many

It sometimes gets things wrong where I really can only shake my head. For

"You can bring this package to Canada Post when you have time" and SIRI 
put "You can take this package to Canada Post Smithers when you have 
time".
I have "Canada Post Smithers" as a contact for calling my local post 
office and I have seen this before where you say something and it inserts 
one of your contact names, I mean I clearly said "Canada Post" and in no 
way said the word "Smithers".
Another one went like this, I spoke a number, can't exactly recall the 
context, but instead of 122 SIRI actually wrote "one22", I mean what's 
with this, this is not even a word and it didn't even put a space between 
the word "one" and the "22".

All this as well as   if English is your second language.
My wife hates Siri and gave up on using it and dictation but for the most 
basic of text. German's her first language and while she's completely 
fluent in English, she still has an accent. She's self-conscious of it and 
while I'm probably bias, I don't think it's that pronounced. She does have 
what I might consider a general "European" accent, but it's not like I 
live with the governater or Boris and Natasha either. And even if I did, 
so what. You figure dictation would be better at these sort of real world 
variables by now.
My German's not good enough to where it would make sense to be swapping 
texts back and forth in German (although, it would probably help me to 
pick up more stuff), so all our techy communication is in English.
Also the hassle if you're dealing with foreign sounding names. I have to 
say "my sister" instead of Magdalena since 9 times out of 10, it'll get 
messed up. Thank God I don't ever have to dictate my name. Lopez, 
Hernandez, Ramos is fine if you gringo-fy the pronunciation, but good luck 
if you have to refer to Horacio Vialpando Monreal for example...
I've sent mistakes of boobs instead of boots. Fuck you instead of thank 
you. I'm shitting instead of I'm sitting...
Spell checking can be so tiresome for every little text though. I’m sure 
I've let a bunch of their instead of they're, cite sight and site 
where/wear go through too. Wouldn't be surprised if some people think I'm 
illiterate by now.

Ah technology...

I had a real good chuckle at the dictation mention and how better it is to 
talk than type at times.
Of course this would be true if SIRI wasn't so stupid and make so many 
mistakes.
I dictate a lot, but I have made it a rule never or at least extremely 
rarely will I send a message without going over it word by word because 
sometimes especially with a bit of background noise just hearing it read 
back can sound like it's OK when it is not.
I find especially often I will say "a" or "him" or "them" and SIRI puts 
"the" instead of "a", "them" instead of "him" and so on.
A couple of weeks ago I send a message to my Mom where I was talking about

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi all,

So the bottomline on my adventure with the wifi instant pot is that
it's going back to amazon.

I did finally get it paired -- turns out I had the wrong app. The
weird thing is that the wrong app was very accessible, but the right
app was not so much. I want to be clear. The app is probably usable
with some determination, but I just don't have that much. Not for a
pot anyway. 

I've cooked for over three decades without an instant pot and I guess
I will continue to do  so.

Thanks again to everyone who tried to help.

 If the Wi-Fi model is like the Bluetooth model, you have to press one
 of
 the
 buttons on the unit in order for it to become seen by the app. Also,
 there
 are two apps, one of which is for the Bluetooth only and the other for
 the
 Wi-Fi model only. So you want to make sure you have the correct app. I
 hope
 they have a customer service number that you can call and order to get
 some
 help to find out which button you might need to press in order to
 accomplish
 the pairing.

Re: Apple Music comes to Amazon Echo smart speakers starting December 17th | MacDailyNews

[Chris Chaffin]

I have tried both Apple Music as well as the unlimited Amazon Music 
subscription.  They are both good, but I went with the unlimited Amazon Music 
because it seems that a few of the artist that I like to listen to was not 
available on Apple Music, but was available on Amazon Music.  I can not speak 
to how accessible it is to purchase music from Amazon Music because I do not 
really buy music anymore.  I just listen to what I want through my subscription.

 Apple Music comes to Amazon Echo smart speakers starting December 17th
 Friday, November 30, 2018
 Highlighting growing cooperation between the two companies, Amazon has
 announced that Apple Music is coming to Amazon Echo smart speakers
 starting December 17th via The Amazon Blog:
 
 Music has always been one of Alexa’s most popular features and today
 we’re excited to announce that Apple Music will be available on Echo
 devices beginning the week of December 17.
 
 Apple Music subscribers will be able to enjoy Apple Music’s 50 million
 songs on Echo devices. Customers will be able to ask Alexa to play their
 favorite songs, artists, and albums—or any of the playlists made by Apple
 Music’s editors from around the world, covering many activities and
 moods. Customers will also be able to ask Alexa to stream expert-made
 radio stations centered on popular genres like Hip-Hop, decades like the
 80s, and even music from around the world, like K-Pop. Just ask Alexa to
 play Beats 1 to hear Apple Music’s global livestream including in-depth
 artist interviews— all completely ad-free. Simply enable the Apple Music
 skill in the Alexa app and link your account to start listening.
 
 “Music is one of the most popular features on Alexa—since we launched
 Alexa four years ago, customers are listening to more music in their
 homes than ever before,” said Dave Limp, senior vice president, Amazon
 Devices. “We are committed to offering great music providers to our
 customers and since launching the Music Skill API to developers just last
 month, we’ve expanded the music selection on Alexa to include even more
 top tier services. We’re thrilled to bring Apple Music – one of the most
 popular music services in the US – to Echo customers this holiday.”
 
 Customers tell us that the simplicity and ease of asking Alexa for the
 content they want to hear has brought more music into their homes.
 Customers ask Alexa to play all kinds of music in many different
 languages. They stream tens of millions of hours of radio per month and
 have set tens of millions of music alarms since the feature launched less
 than a year ago.
 
 Fun fact: Top country is the most requested music to wake up to.

Hi, i am an amazon prime customer, and i also subscribe to amazon music 
unlimited.


I love it, and use it with my echo device.

You don't have to be a prime customer, to subscribe, to music unlimited, it 
just works out a bit cheaper if you are.

I don't have either Amazon music or Apple Music at this time but have
thought about subscribing to one but not both. Because I am a Prime
member, Amazon is less expensive but I have found that purchasing
music from them is really difficult these days and for that reason I
am more reluctant to use them. So, having said all that, do people
overall have any preference between these services?

Just letting you know that the same thing happened to me about two weeks ago.  
I was using my phone and for no rhyme or reason, it just stopped talking.  I 
finally called Apple Accessibility and they helped me get my phone talking 
again.  It was rather scary and I hope this never happens again.  They were 
very patient.  I was on the phone for quite some time, but all my apps came 
back as well as my music.  I don’t know if you have ever called them, but they 
are wonderful.

 

Their number is (877) 2043930.  Good luck!

I definitely have Apple Music. I had Amazon for a while, got it on prime day 
deal, and then canceled it, because I didn’t use it very much. I like Apple 
Music. And since I just got HomePods, there’s no way I would go back to Amazon 
music instead of Apple.

Hi there:

 

I just received this email concerning Apple Music on the Amazon Alexa device. I 
am wondering if this is going to be permanent, or just for a short period. I am 
an able subscriber, and have an apple account as I am an iPhone 7 Plus user. 
Also, is this a free feature, or is there a monthly subscription fee.

 

Thanks folks!

Apple Music comes to Amazon Echo smart speakers starting December 17th
Friday, November 30, 2018

Highlighting growing cooperation between the two companies, Amazon has 
announced that Apple Music is coming to Amazon Echo smart speakers starting 
December 17th via The Amazon Blog:

Music has always been one of Alexa’s most popular features and today we’re 
excited to announce that Apple Music will be available on Echo devices 
beginning the week of December 17.

Apple Music subscribers will be able to enjoy Apple Music’s 50 million songs on 
Echo devices. Customers will be able to ask Alexa to play their favorite songs, 
artists, and albums—or any of the playlists made by Apple Music’s editors from 
around the world, covering many activities and moods. Customers will also be 
able to ask Alexa to stream expert-made radio stations centered on popular 
genres like Hip-Hop, decades like the 80s, and even music from around the 
world, like K-Pop. Just ask Alexa to play Beats 1 to hear Apple Music’s global 
livestream including in-depth artist interviews— all completely ad-free. Simply 
enable the Apple Music skill in the Alexa app and link your account to start 
listening.

“Music is one of the most popular features on Alexa—since we launched Alexa 
four years ago, customers are listening to more music in their homes than ever 
before,” said Dave Limp, senior vice president, Amazon Devices. “We are 
committed to offering great music providers to our customers and since 
launching the Music Skill API to developers just last month, we’ve expanded the 
music selection on Alexa to include even more top tier services. We’re thrilled 
to bring Apple Music – one of the most popular music services in the US – to 
Echo customers this holiday.”

Customers tell us that the simplicity and ease of asking Alexa for the content 
they want to hear has brought more music into their homes. Customers ask Alexa 
to play all kinds of music in many different languages. They stream tens of 
millions of hours of radio per month and have set tens of millions of music 
alarms since the feature launched less than a year ago.

Fun fact: Top country is the most requested music to wake up to.

We’re excited to bring Apple Music to our Alexa customers this holiday season.

[Deb Cook Lewis]

I don't have either Amazon music or Apple Music at this time but have
thought about subscribing to one but not both. Because I am a Prime
member, Amazon is less expensive but I have found that purchasing
music from them is really difficult these days and for that reason I
am more reluctant to use them. So, having said all that, do people
overall have any preference between these services?

Re: How to sign up for iTunes match if you are running a Windows PC

Robert,

Remember that iTunes Match has a minimum bit rate requirement before Match will 
upload your files. If it is below 128 KBPS I believe Match won’t upload it.

I am asking this question for a friend. I have been signed up with iTunes match 
for several years, so I have no idea how to help him. He does not have a mask. 
He does have a Windows PC, and he does have a bunch of stuff in iTunes. He was 
trying to sign up for iTunes match and was not successful. So the question: how 
to sign up for iTunes match if you are running a Windows PC?

I believe that the article says that you will link your Apple Music account 
with your Alexa service.

Those with Sonos and Alexa have Apple Music linked with Sonos.

Re: Apple Music comes to Amazon Echo smart speakers starting December 17th | MacDailyNews

[Chris Chaffin]

This will be a permanent feature.  Now the specific details are still not 
clear.  I am not sure if it will just be a subscription service like Spotify, 
or you will also be able to play your own personal music and the free stations 
offered by Apple Music.  Now I would assume that if you are already an Apple 
Music subscriber, then you should be fine and be able to access it without a 
problem.

Re: watch: what is autospeak?

[Malcolm Parfitt]

Hello,


Watches had complications long before Apple existed.

On old analogue watches some were able to display more than just the time.  
These extra items were known as complications.  Perhaps because the more

Hello,


Auto Speak determines whether the content of a complication is automatically 
read when you wake up your Apple Watch.


Normally on waking up your watch the time is announced.  If you enable Auto 
Speak for a particular complication its content will be read after the time 
is announced.


For example, I have the Activity complication on my watch face.  If I enable 
auto speak for this complication then I will get the time then Moving 92%, 
Exercising 100% Standing 83%.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi,

Thanks for all the responses. I have reached out to the instant pot
support email and explained my situation. I found out from youtube
about pressing the button on the pot itself, but when I do I get a
message that says app with a blinking wifi indicator. However the
pairing never succeeds. I am standing right in front of the pot when I
do this. Anyway, I'll see what the instant pot folks say about it.

Regarding the app, it does seem very accessible with the exception of
the recipe area. You can access the recipes by moving your finger
around the screen then double tapping the one you  are interested in,
but you can't flick through the list of recipes which makes navigating
a bit tricky. Once in the recipe itself things work pretty well and
all ingrediets and instructions are readable.

I'll let everyone know how this all works out.

Thanks again for the responses.

Kim

RE: Apple Music comes to Amazon Echo smart speakers starting December 17th | MacDailyNews

[Michael G McKay]

Hi there:

 

I just received this email concerning Apple Music on the Amazon Alexa device. I 
am wondering if this is going to be permanent, or just for a short period. I am 
an able subscriber, and have an apple account as I am an iPhone 7 Plus user. 
Also, is this a free feature, or is there a monthly subscription fee.

 

Thanks folks!

Apple Music comes to Amazon Echo smart speakers starting December 17th


 

 Friday, November 30, 2018

Highlighting growing cooperation between the two companies, Amazon has 
announced that Apple Music is coming to Amazon Echo smart speakers starting 
December 17th  
 via 
The Amazon Blog:

Music has always been one of Alexa’s most popular features and today we’re 
excited to announce that Apple Music will be available on Echo devices 
beginning the week of December 17.

Apple Music subscribers will be able to enjoy Apple Music’s 50 million songs on 
Echo devices. Customers will be able to ask Alexa to play their favorite songs, 
artists, and albums—or any of the playlists made by Apple Music’s editors from 
around the world, covering many activities and moods. Customers will also be 
able to ask Alexa to stream expert-made radio stations centered on popular 
genres like Hip-Hop, decades like the 80s, and even music from around the 
world, like K-Pop. Just ask Alexa to play Beats 1 to hear Apple Music’s global 
livestream including in-depth artist interviews— all completely ad-free. Simply 
enable the Apple Music skill in the Alexa app and link your account to start 
listening.

“Music is one of the most popular features on Alexa—since we launched Alexa 
four years ago, customers are listening to more music in their homes than ever 
before,” said Dave Limp, senior vice president, Amazon Devices. “We are 
committed to offering great music providers to our customers and since 
launching the Music Skill API to developers just last month, we’ve expanded the 
music selection on Alexa to include even more top tier services. We’re thrilled 
to bring Apple Music – one of the most popular music services in the US – to 
Echo customers this holiday.”

Customers tell us that the simplicity and ease of asking Alexa for the content 
they want to hear has brought more music into their homes. Customers ask Alexa 
to play all kinds of music in many different languages. They stream tens of 
millions of hours of radio per month and have set tens of millions of music 
alarms since the feature launched less than a year ago.

Fun fact: Top country is the most requested music to wake up to.

We’re excited to bring Apple Music to our Alexa customers this holiday season.

Re: Apple Music comes to Amazon Echo smart speakers starting December 17th | MacDailyNews

[Kimber Gardner]

Wow, I'm really excited to hear this. I've been struggling over which
music subscription service to keep (I subscribe to both amazon
unlimited and apple music). Admittedly, I was leaning toward unsubbing
from apple music, but didn't because I have so many personal playlists
I just didn't have the time or the inclination to recreate on the
amazon service. Also, I find creating playlists far less intutive on
the amazon platform. So this news makes me very happy.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker

[Penny Reeder]

Contact the InstantPot company, you can do this through the Help
function in the app, and ask for their help.

I do not have the wifi model, but when I couldn't get the BlueToot
model to pair, I asked the FaceBook Instant Pot group for help. The
person who responded told me there was a small button on the front of
the pot that needed to be pressed in and held for a few seconds to
activate the initial connection. After I did this (I needed sighted
help), the Bluetooth connection worked.

Sometimes I have to attempt the whole pairingprocess more than once.
With Bluetooth, it helps to be in front of the actual pot -- not
pairing from another room -- and sometimes it also helps to unplug the
Instant Pot and then plug it in again.

Good luck, I hope you get this to work, and I'm also interested to
know if the app seems to be totally accessible, as it was for the
Bluetooth model.

I too have this issue and while not an ideal solution I turn Voiceover’s volume 
down when I only require the time.

Re: watch: How do I check the time silently?

Ann,

I have the same problem.  When I am working, I want to find out the time, and 
sometimes it will just not vibrate.  Other times, it works perfectly.  I have 
read that others seem to have the same problem.  If anyone has the solution, I 
would love to know what it is.

Re: watch: what is autospeak?

[Malcolm Parfitt]

Hello,


Auto Speak determines whether the content of a complication is automatically 
read when you wake up your Apple Watch.

Normally on waking up your watch the time is announced.  If you enable Auto 
Speak for a particular complication its content will be read after the time is 
announced.

For example, I have the Activity complication on my watch face.  If I enable 
auto speak for this complication then I will get the time then Moving 92%, 
Exercising 100% Standing 83%.

Re: Seeing AI, After A Little MoreThan A Year

[englishrider91]

That's so odd, Richard. I find that the document channel often doesn't work for 
me, either. I usually get the message, no text, or something like that. It's 
strange, too, considering I'm doing the same thing I would be with something 
like KNFBReader, and that was fine. It's especially odd, given that the short 
text channel works fine--well, as fine as any OCR app ever does on the iPhone. 
I find that my hands usually shake after a little bit of holding up the phone. 
It's better if I brace my elbows on the table, though, but that doesn't help 
when you need to scan something freehand, like when you're out and about.


Thanks,
Ari

Re: Secret iPhone & iPad Typing Tips: Trackpad Mode and more!, iMore

[englishrider91]

Ugh, I have that problem all the time, Sieghard! It's so annoying when I say 
the name of (what used to be) my local train station, and the name of my then 
apartment complex gets inserted instead. They have words in common in their 
names--my complex was called Del Norte Place, and the shortened form of one of 
the two local train stations is Del Norte. They're both in the same city, and 
one is called El Cerrito Plaza station while the other is called El Cerrito Del 
Norte station, so you can see why they got shortened to Plaza and Del Norte. 
But every time I'd say Del Norte to coordinate with my husband where we'd be 
meeting, dictation would enter the name of my apartment complex, which is 
totally stupid.


Thanks,
Ari

Re: Secret iPhone & iPad Typing Tips: Trackpad Mode and more!, iMore

[englishrider91]

Sieghard, I know what you mean about dictation. Sometimes it just gets it so, 
so wrong! And I've found lately that dictation has gotten even weirder lately. 
What happens is that you'll dictate something, and when it's read back, VO 
reads what you dictated, and it's correct. Then, when you go and double-check 
the message, just in case, things will be completely screwed up. It's like 
dictation does a second pass through your text, and you'll end up with all 
sorts of errors--slightly wrong words, completely different words, whole chunks 
of your sentence missing, and the last, and worst, only the last word of your 
sentence being dictated. Now, I've used an iPhone since September of 2011, so 
I'm not a new user by any means, and know how to dictate very well; in fact, it 
drives me nuts when people don't dictate punctuation. This worsening behavior 
is just awful.

I know what you mean about dictation not getting a certain word right, no 
matter how much you say it. My word that it screws up on all the time on one 
day was raisin. This happened both when I tried to dictate it and when I tried 
asking Siri how to spell it. It kept inputting or giving me the answer of 
reason, which was totally frustrating!


Thanks,
Ari

You will need to download the instant pot app. On the instant pot you need to 
press the wifi button for 3seconds

If the Wi-Fi model is like the Bluetooth model, you have to press one of the 
buttons on the unit in order for it to become seen by the app. Also, there are 
two apps, one of which is for the Bluetooth only and the other for the Wi-Fi 
model only. So you want to make sure you have the correct app. I hope they have 
a customer service number that you can call and order to get some help to find 
out which button you might need to press in order to accomplish the pairing.

Re: A old friend of mine she is in her 80's is seeking for a cell phone with buttens and keys that are spaced apart that she can feel them. she is with telus in Canada any one have any ideas?

[Arlene]

Mich, while I'm not from canada and don't know about all the flip phones that 
are available there, I went on to the telus web page which is
www.telus.com
The only flip phone that was mentioned on the page was the 
alcatel go flip phone.
This phone has the full readout, all the menues talk on the phone. I have this 
phone for a t& t here in oklahoma city, oklahoma and it has the marking on the 
5. It has a icon radio, so you could listen to local fm radio. It has a browser 
in the phone so one can go on the internet.I have another alcatel which is 
another model of the acatel flip phone for consumer cellular which is very much 
the same as the alcatel go flip phone. The only difference is the phone for 
consumer cellular has the numbers in raised print on the number keypad. While 
the phone talks all the menues in the phone, so you could type a text message 
and type in contacts. The only drawback on the acatel phones are is if you go 
to write a text message  while you can press the pound key if you need to 
capatalize a letter you can press the pound key once and the phone will say 
capatalize. I think it's the pound key that brings up the symbals such as the 
period, at sign, comma and so on, but it doesn't talk, and if you press the 1 
key which on other phones is how you can hear the symbols it doesn't say 
anything. So your friend would be able to type in her contacts if that's 
something she feels that she could do. If she was into writing text messages 
she could write short messages, but it's kind of hard not being able to type 
the symbols. also it has email you could set up whcih I haven't tried to set 
up. As far as writing text messages the ones I've tried writing, it doesn't 
seem to read the message as it does on other flip phones I have. There's a 
calculator in the phone,  which is accessible.  The calendar is very accessible 
too. It all depends on how much or less your friend  does in operating  the 
phone, she could do a number of things with the acatel. I couldn't find the 
phone number for telus to find out if they had any other flip phones. I 
couldn't find it on the telus web page, so maybe I'll do a search for the 
number. Of course the other phones they were telling about on the page, where 
accessibility is concerned is the smart phones, the s8 and the different 
iphones. I always wondered about the flip phones for other countries, but 
whenever I've asked no one answered to tell about them, so I guess most people 
have smart phones. Hopefully someone knows about the other flip phones that are 
available in canada and I'll look into it a bit more to see if I could find the 
phone number for telus to find out about other flip phones they have.

RuggedGear do very robust android devices which have touch screen and real 
buttons and built like the proverbial tank.  Built to 
military/civil eng/security grade.  Often include other interesting features 
like a massive battery capacity and very powerful LED 
torch.  But the basic phone and buttons is good to handle.  Price not that mad
