Well, in the case of the no touch thermometers, I would not assume they are not

I always check first before ordering anything online.

Definitely not the time to share an under-the-tongue thermometer these days if 
multiple people in your household are using  it. I guess you could disinfect it 
each time somebody used it, but the contactless thermometers are definitely a 
better option right now and probably even if there weren’t a COVID-19 virus, 
after all, if you think you have a fever you probably want to avoid giving 
whatever causes it to anybody else. Of course that is not an issue if you are 
only 1 person who uses it.

Good to know.

The Kinsa is an under the tongue thermometer.  At least, the older model I have 
is and I’m pretty sure the Bluetooth one is as well.

I’ll keep this info for reference though.  Sounds excellent.

There is also the “Thermo” from Nokia Health formerly Withings.

Below are links, first to the Withings website directly, then to the Canadian 
Apple, Amazon and Best Buy, after that the US Apple Store, Amazon, Best Buy and 
Walmart. Finally I put the links for the Thermo app on both the Canadian and US 
App Stores. The only problem is that it seems you are not going to be able to 
find one since they show as sold out everywhere or, in the case of Amazon, as 
“currently unavailable”, I guess that is probably a result of COVID-19.

I haven’t checked, but that may very well be the case for the Kinsa thermometer 
as well.

The Thermo, by the way, connects via WiFi, not Bluetooth. we have had ours for 
probably 3 years or a bit longer and I hadn’t used it until recently for about 
2 years because just before Christmas 2017 was the only and last time I was 
sick with the flu and a fever in probably 10 years.

I did use it a bit more often recently just checking myself since I do have a 
retail store and am out in public every day. I realized I hadn’t even connected 
it yet to my iPhone 8 which I got a year and a half ago, but as before the 
connection was easy and quick and after signing in to the app with my user name 
and password my wife’s and my own profiles showed up and I could still see the 
measurements I took back in 2017.

Re: Does anyone use the ABC Group app

[Richard Turner]

It is an app that I've recommended off and on over the years when folks are 
looking for a good app for doing group emails.
IT can be used to do texting groups, but as Jim discovered, you cannot hide 
names or numbers from the other recipients when texting.
Here is the app store link if you want to read more about it.

  Definitely not the time to share an under-the-tongue thermometer these 
days if multiple people in your household are using  it. I guess you could 
disinfect it each time somebody used it, but the contactless thermometers are 
definitely a better option right now and probably even if there weren’t a 
COVID-19 virus, 

Does anyone use the ABC Group app

[Jim Portillo]

Good evening,
I just learned about the ABC group app and downloaded.  I’m creating groups, 
and love the ability to have groups I can text.  Here’s a question though.  Is 
there a way for the group of people that I created not to see one another’s 
phone numbers when I text them?  Or, if I use the option of using first and 
last names in place of phone numbers, will they see them as well?  Still 
figuring everything out here.
Jim

  Well, in the case of the no touch thermometers, I would not assume they are 
not returnable, but of course, one who buys an item without checking first if 
that item is returnable, takes a risk. 

  I always check first before ordering anything online.

Are all of the ones mentioned with apps under the tongue or scanning type

The Kinsa is an under the tongue thermometer.  At least, the older model I have 
is and I’m pretty sure the Bluetooth one is as well.
I’ll keep this info for reference though.  Sounds excellent.

There is also the “Thermo” from Nokia Health formerly Withings.
Below are links, first to the Withings website directly, then to the Canadian 
Apple, Amazon and Best Buy, after that the US Apple Store, Amazon, Best Buy and 
Walmart. Finally I put the links for the Thermo app on both the Canadian and US 
App Stores. The only problem is that it seems you are not going to be able to 
find one since they show as sold out everywhere or, in the case of Amazon, as 
“currently unavailable”, I guess that is probably a result of COVID-19.
I haven’t checked, but that may very well be the case for the Kinsa thermometer 
as well.
The Thermo, by the way, connects via WiFi, not Bluetooth. we have had ours for 
probably 3 years or a bit longer and I hadn’t used it until recently for about 
2 years because just before Christmas 2017 was the only and last time I was 
sick with the flu and a fever in probably 10 years.
I did use it a bit more often recently just checking myself since I do have a 
retail store and am out in public every day. I realized I hadn’t even connected 
it yet to my iPhone 8 which I got a year and a half ago, but as before the 
connection was easy and quick and after signing in to the app with my user name 
and password my wife’s and my own profiles showed up and I could still see the 
measurements I took back in 2017.
The Thermo also has a display where a sighted person can instantly read the 
result, otherwise you can get the result inside the app about 15 or so seconds 
after the reading is complete.
There is one single button. You press it once and the thermometer makes a small 
vibration which means it’s ready. You have to be a little bit quick and have it 
ready pointing to the middle of your forehead about half an inch or so away 
from your skin since the measuring starts right away after the vibration and 
only lasts for about 4 or 5 seconds.
It reads the temperature contactless, as soon as it vibrates you smoothly move 
it from the middle of your forehead to your temple and stop there, the Thermo 
will vibrate twice to indicate it has finished the reading.
After you do this a few times you quickly get the hang of how fast you have to 
move it across your forehead so you get to your temple just before the second 
double vibration.
Even if you take a reading without the Thermo app open you soon get a 
notification that a new temperature reading is available, if you double tap on 
that notification the app opens and shows the profiles you have set up.
In our case it shows “Me” which is me and it shows “Jackie” which is my wife. 
Above that it then shows an unassigned reading, if you double tap on that 
Voiceover reads out the date, time and the temperature and you can then double 
tap on whichever profile you want to assign that reading to. It’s very 
accessible, very

I am not familiar if the model from Independent Living is fully automated, but 
the Qardio is, it has batteries and all you have to do is put it on, then sit 
back and relax and with your other hand tap the start button in the app. It 
will then inflate and do everything automatically. You can even set it to do 3 
measurements and it will then take the average.

Hello friends.

I apologise if this topic has been discussed but I have a particular reason for 
asking advice.

If you will allow me to explain.

I was recently admitted into hospital where I was diagnosed with 
Pyelonephritis, and sepsis.  During my stay in hospital I was also found to 
have an atrial fibrillation.  They are not sure whether the heart issue was 
caused by the sepsis and I have to undergo further tests.

My Apple Watch can help me check my heart rate, but what options are there for 
a totally blind person to check blood pressure.

I would appreciate your recommendations and thank you in advance for them.

Thank you for reading my post too.

I bought a talking forehead thermometer from Speak To Me but it was a while 
ago. you may want to check with them, as well as the other blind oriented 
catelogs.

Definitely not the time to share an under-the-tongue thermometer these days 
if multiple people in your household are using  it. I guess you could disinfect 
it each time somebody used it, but the contactless thermometers are definitely 
a better option right now and probably even if there weren’t a COVID-19 virus, 
after all, if you think you have a fever you probably want to avoid giving 
whatever causes it to anybody else. Of course that is not an issue if you are

Good to know.

The Kinsa is an under the tongue thermometer.  At least, the older model I 
have is and I’m pretty sure the Bluetooth one is as well.

I’ll keep this info for reference though.  Sounds excellent.

There is also the “Thermo” from Nokia Health formerly Withings.

Below are links, first to the Withings website directly, then to the 
Canadian Apple, Amazon and Best Buy, after that the US Apple Store, Amazon, 
Best Buy and Walmart. Finally I put the links for the Thermo app on both the 
Canadian and US App Stores. The only problem is that it seems you are not going 
to be able to find one since they show as sold out everywhere or, in the case 
of Amazon, as “currently unavailable”, I guess that is probably a result of 
COVID-19.

I haven’t checked, but that may very well be the case for the Kinsa 
thermometer as well.

The Thermo, by the way, connects via WiFi, not Bluetooth. we have had ours 
for probably 3 years or a bit longer and I hadn’t used it until recently for 
about 2 years because just before Christmas 2017 was the only and last time I 
was sick with the flu and a fever in probably 10 years.

I did use it a bit more often recently just checking myself since I do have 
a retail store and am out in public every day. I realized I hadn’t even 
connected it yet to my iPhone 8 which I got a year and a half ago, but as 
before the connection was easy and quick and after signing in to the app with

still see the measurements I took back in 2017.

The Thermo also has a display where a sighted person can instantly read the 
result, otherwise you can get the result inside the app about 15 or so seconds

There is one single button. You press it once and the thermometer makes a

ready pointing to the middle of your forehead about half an inch or so away 
from your skin since the measuring starts right away after the vibration and 
only lasts for about 4 or 5 seconds.

It reads the temperature contactless, as soon as it vibrates you smoothly move 
it from the middle of your forehead to your temple and stop there, the Thermo 
will vibrate twice to indicate it has finished the reading.

After you do this a few times you quickly get the hang of how fast you have to 
move it across your forehead so you get to your temple just before the second 
double vibration.

Even if you take a reading without the Thermo app open you soon get a 
notification that a new temperature reading is available, if you double tap on 
that notification

Hi,
I could be wrong but I somehow
suspect that a thermometer might not be returnable being deemed
a personal health item if not before this virus business then
definitely afterwards.
And how lovely of Mary to help her
friend that way though were it me I'd just let her keep the
thermometer especially if it were an under the tongue one.
I have one of the talking infrared
scanning ones. I got it ages ago from the Speak to Me Catalog.
Not sure if they're even open let alone have stock but it's a
neat thing that runs on 2 triple a batteries and can either be
used in ear or on forehead.
Are all of the ones mentioned with
apps under the tongue or scanning type ones? I'm frankly
surprised the Exergen thermometer which is heavily advertised
typically in Winter doesn't make a talking one or have an app
linked thermometer.
Stay well and take good care
everybody.
Robin

2 years because just before Christmas 2017 was the only and last time I was

Thanks for the info. I’m definitely keeping the information about the Thermo. 
Not going to help me now. I guess I can just hope I don’t get the bloody thing. 
Or if I can actually find rubbing alcohol, I would at least have something to 
disinfect mine when it comes back.

connection was easy and quick and after signing in to the app with my user name 
and password my wife’s and my own profiles showed up and I could still see the 
measurements I took back in 2017.

The Thermo also has a display where a sighted person can instantly read the 
result, otherwise you can get the result inside the app about 15 or so seconds 
after the reading is complete.

There is one single button. You press it once and the thermometer makes a small 
vibration which means it’s ready. You have to be a little bit quick and have it 
ready pointing to the middle of your forehead about half an inch or so away 
from your skin since the measuring starts right away after the vibration and 
only lasts for about 4 or 5 seconds.

It reads the temperature contactless, as soon as it vibrates you smoothly move 
it from the middle of your forehead to your temple and stop there, the Thermo 
will vibrate twice to indicate it has finished the reading.

After you do this a few times you quickly get the hang of how fast you have to 
move it across your forehead so you get to your temple just before the second 
double vibration.

Even if you take a reading without the Thermo app open you soon get a 
notification that a new temperature reading is available, if you double tap on 
that notification the app opens and shows the profiles you have set up.

In our case it shows “Me” which is me and it shows “Jackie” which is my wife.

I'm not sure what you mean by noncontact.
But, anyone looking for a thermometer right now is just going to have to keep 
looking until they find a supplier that still has some.

Definitely not the time to share an under-the-tongue thermometer these days if 
multiple people in your household are using  it. I guess you could disinfect it 
each time somebody used it, but the contactless thermometers are definitely a 
better option right now and probably even if there weren’t a COVID-19 virus, 
after all, if you think you have a fever you probably want to avoid giving 
whatever causes it to anybody else. Of course that is not an issue if you are 
only 1 person who uses it.

Definitely not the time to share an under-the-tongue thermometer these days if 
multiple people in your household are using  it. I guess you could disinfect it 
each time somebody used it, but the contactless thermometers are definitely a 
better option right now and probably even if there weren’t a COVID-19 virus, 
after all, if you think you have a fever you probably want to avoid giving 
whatever causes it to anybody else. Of course that is not an issue if you are 
only 1 person who uses it.

Good to know.

The Kinsa is an under the tongue thermometer.  At least, the older model I have 
is and I’m pretty sure the Bluetooth one is as well.

I’ll keep this info for reference though.  Sounds excellent.

There is also the “Thermo” from Nokia Health formerly Withings.

Below are links, first to the Withings website directly, then to the Canadian 
Apple, Amazon and Best Buy, after that the US Apple Store, Amazon, Best Buy and 
Walmart. Finally I put the links for the Thermo app on both the Canadian and US 
App Stores. The only problem is that it seems you are not going to be able to 
find one since they show as sold out everywhere or, in the case of Amazon, as 
“currently unavailable”, I guess that is probably a result of COVID-19.

I haven’t checked, but that may very well be the case for the Kinsa thermometer 
as well.

The Thermo, by the way, connects via WiFi, not Bluetooth. we have had ours for 
probably 3 years or a bit longer and I hadn’t used it until recently for about 
2 years because just before Christmas 2017 was the only and last time I was 
sick with the flu and a fever in probably 10 years.

I did use it a bit more often recently just checking myself since I do have a 
retail store and am out in public every day. I realized I hadn’t even connected 
it yet to my iPhone 8 which I got a year and a half ago, but as before the 
connection was easy and quick and after signing in to the app with my user name 
and password my wife’s and my own profiles showed up and I could still see the 
measurements I took back in 2017.

The Thermo also has a display where a sighted person can instantly read the 
result, otherwise you can get the result inside the app about 15 or so seconds 
after the reading is complete.

There is one single button. You press it once and the thermometer makes a small 
vibration which means it’s ready. You have to be a little bit quick and have it 
ready pointing to the middle of your forehead about half an inch or so away 
from your skin since the measuring starts right away after the vibration and 
only lasts for about 4 or 5 seconds.

It reads the temperature contactless, as soon as it vibrates you smoothly move 
it from the middle of your forehead to your temple and stop there, the Thermo 
will vibrate twice to indicate it has finished the reading.

After you do this a few times you quickly get the hang of how fast you have to 
move it across your forehead so you get to your temple just before the second 
double vibration.

Even if you take a reading without the Thermo app open you soon get a 
notification that a new temperature reading is available, if you double tap on 
that notification the app opens and shows the profiles you have set up.

In our case it shows “Me” which is me and it shows “Jackie” which is my wife. 
Above that it then shows an unassigned reading, if you double tap on that 
Voiceover reads out the date, time and the temperature and you can then double 
tap on whichever profile you

Hello Richard
Thanks much. Do you perhaps know where one can download the manual. I 
downloaded a podcast from appleVis but that was done in 2015, so I am not sure 
how relevant is it.

RE: Accessible thermometer

[Richard Turner]

If anyone shares a thermometer without disinfecting it first, any time, they 
are not being responsible.
Of course, there are a lot of irresponsible people out there.  One particular 
world leader with the initials D.J.T. comes to mind, grin.

which text reader/writer

[Fanus Buys]

Hello list
A friend asked me about this. According to him  access note does not work on
newer iDevices or newer IOS versions. Apparently there was a search function
in access note which created a list of all the search results so one could
decide which one to read. Is there a replacement for access note with such a
similar feature?
Regards
Fanus

question - Amazon Echo and playing radio stations

[Mária Orovčíková]

Hello list,
please, does anyone know if there is a way to make Amazon Echo speaker 
play a particular radio station?
It seems there are at least two stations with the identical name and 
Alexa always plays the one located in Poland, not in Slovakia which I 
want to be played.

I hope my question makes sense.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Maria
