Re: The Health App

2019-03-13 Thread Holly 

Hi Terri:

As far as the app tracking how many steps you take, I suppose there is a 
built-in pedometer.   I don't know how it works, but it can tell if you are 
going up and down stairs too.  There is a section that tells you how many 
flights you climb a day.


I imagine you would have to input the health info manually.

I don't understand everything I know about it.  Hahahaha.

Maybe someone else has more info.

I use it mainly for tracking my steps and flights of stairs I do every day.

The Health App

2019-03-13 Thread Terri Stimmel 
Hello everyone,


So I have been exploring the Health App. I am very curious about it. But 
I will admit, I find it a bit overwhelming.


For instance, how is my phone able to tell how many steps I have walked?

And can it possibly tell the difference in my walking, and when I am 
rocking in my rocking recliner?


Also, how might the sleep part of the App work?

If I want to keep track of any of my health related stuff, do I have to 
enter all the information in manually?


I really am interested in learning all I can about this App. If there 
are articles that might help me, or podcasts, please let me know.


Thank you,


Terri

  Greetings,

  Seeing AI has a great update today.

  One of my favorite changes is that you can reoer the channels to have 
them in your preferred order.

  I will explain it in the context of the list below.

  Mar 12, 2019: Version 3.0

   

  •Explore photos by touch: This new feature allows you to explore how 
objects in a photo are arranged. Select "Explore Photo" from the Scene channel, 
photo

  browser, or when recognizing photos from other apps. Then, move your 
finger over the screen to hear where objects are located.

   

  •All new iPad support.

   

  •Get faster access to your favorite features by customizing the order in 
which channels are shown.

 To do this, open the menu from the main screen, go to 
settings, then Reorder Channels.

  The channels are listed in reverse order on the screen.  Short Text is 
listed at the top, and Light detection is the bottom.  Next to each channel is 
a “reorder button.”

  Hold that button and drag the apps to your preferred arrangement, 
remembering that on the main screen when you are done, Short Text will be the 
first channel.

  VoiceOver users of course have to double tap and hold the second tap.

  It works great!

   

  •On the Person channel, you can now teach Seeing AI to recognize someone 
new, directly from the main screen.

 The Face Recognition button is now on the main screen.  A 
few left flicks from the person channel.

   

  •When recognizing photos from other apps, you will now hear the 
processing sound as in the main app.

   

  Enjoy,

  Richard

2019-03-13 Thread Carolyn Arnold 
The three-finger triple-tap is a toggle that turns Screen Curtain off and on. 

The Power Button turns Screen Saver on. Screen Saver also comes on, unless you 
have it set to never, if you've had to put your phone down to answer the door 
or something, and after 2 minutes, or whatever time you have set, will power 
the screen off. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

take it off you hold the power button again, for just a sec. Is that what’s

On my iPhone 7S, I have my screen brightness set to zero, as I 
don’t look at the screen at all. However, my sighted daughter sometimes would 
like to use my phone, to take a picture or some such. Of course my screen 
brightness setting makes her nuts. I have gone into  Settings and changed the 
brightness to 70 or 80%, but the next time she looks at the phone, she says 
“the screen’s not working.”

 

What am I missing? I realize sighted people are Muggles, but

2019-03-13 Thread Cristobal Muñoz 
This isn’t entirely reliable though. I’ve had many instances where 
enabling/disabling screen curtain and going back later for whatever reason only 
to find that my brightness is set at 50 or 60 or 70%. 

Not always, but enough to where it’s not just some every blue moon outlier type 
of deal.

In short, it’s not something I’d depend upon for it to consistently work.

If you are a user of the screen curtain, and you have auto brightness on, and 
set to zero. Then when you turn off the screen curtain, the brightness will 
increase, so a sighted person can see the screen.

 

Then when you turn on the screen curtain again, it should set it back to zero.

 

The only time this may change, is if you are someone who turns off their phone 
over night. Then you may need to check your brightness, after turning your 
phone back on.

Re: Screen Brightness

2019-03-13 Thread Dave 
If you are a user of the screen curtain, and you have auto brightness on, and 
set to zero. Then when you turn off the screen curtain, the brightness will 
increase, so a sighted person can see the screen.

Then when you turn on the screen curtain again, it should set it back to zero.

The only time this may change, is if you are someone who turns off their phone 
over night. Then you may need to check your brightness, after turning your 
phone back on.

Dave.

I'd think the screen curtain has nothing to do with the brightness itself. I'd 
be wrong of course :)

  Susie, a word or two more about screen brightness vs. screen curtain on/off.  
The quickest, simplest way to change brightneess is, indeed,  with SIRI. You 
may also want to know that setting brightness to zero saves battery power, 
while having brightness raised to 50% or 75% and turning on your screen curtain 
does not save battery. The screen curtain is a voice over feature whose 
purpose, I think, is to provide privacy for the VO user who will not know if 
someone is looking over her shoulder when using her phone in a public place.

Hi all.



On my iPhone 7S, I have my screen brightness set to zero, as I don’t look 
at the screen at all. However, my sighted daughter sometimes would like to use 
my phone, to take a picture or some such. Of course my screen brightness 
setting makes her nuts. I have gone into  Settings and changed the brightness 
to 70 or 80%, but the next time she looks at the phone, she says “the screen’s 
not working.”



What am I missing? I realize sighted people are Muggles, but sometimes we 
need to share the phone with one. LOL

I believe you would be safer to keep auto brightness off. It doesn’t take that 
much time to change the brightness for someone sighted.

There's something close to that if you are willing to spend about $2000. It's

Greetings,

Seeing AI has a great update today.

One of my favorite changes is that you can reoer the channels to have them in 
your preferred order.

I will explain it in the context of the list below.

Mar 12, 2019: Version 3.0

 

•Explore photos by touch: This new feature allows you to explore how objects in 
a photo are arranged. Select "Explore Photo" from the Scene channel, photo

browser, or when recognizing photos from other apps. Then, move your finger 
over the screen to hear where objects are located.

 

•All new iPad support.

 

•Get faster access to your favorite features by customizing the order in which 
channels are shown.

   To do this, open the menu from the main screen, go to settings, 
then Reorder Channels.

The channels are listed in reverse order on the screen.  Short Text is listed 
at the top, and Light detection is the bottom.  Next to each channel is a 
“reorder button.”

Hold that button and drag the apps to your preferred arrangement, remembering 
that on the main screen when you are done, Short Text will be the first channel.

VoiceOver users of course have to double tap and hold the second tap.

It works great!

 

•On the Person channel, you can now teach Seeing AI to recognize someone new, 
directly from the main screen.

   The Face Recognition button is now on the main screen.  A few 
left flicks from the person channel.

 

•When recognizing photos from other apps, you will now hear the processing 
sound as in the main app.

 

Enjoy,

Richard
