Hi,Do you have your microphone permissions enabled?

RE: Wanted to buy Rivo2 keypad in United States

It is also worth noting I am recommending the Hable one and I used to use the 
Rivo all the time.

Subject: Wanted to buy Rivo2 keypad in United States

Hi there,  one of my friends is in Los Angeles for the time being. He will be 
returning to India in couple of weeks. Does anyone have an idea of the 
availability of Rivo2 keypad in US? From where can it be ordered or purchased 
from any physical store in California?
As in my country, that is India, they dont have any store, and international 
shipping takes too much time and extra money. Suggest me the way how to get 
Rivo latest keypad from US.

RE: Amazon Alexa App

[MamaPeach]

You are right, that worked. I launched the app and the volume was extremely 
low. I opened the app switcher and tapped on the Alexa app and it brought the 
volume back up to normal. THANK YOU SO MUCH! That is a very doable fix. It is 
weird how the volume issue is a random thing though.

Try bringing up the app switcher, but do not close the app, just double tap on 
it from the app switcher and see if that works.

I think the other method has to do with changing the setting so it isn't always 
listening for its name.

I have mine listening, and the app switcher trick seems to work fine for me.

Simple, just order it online from one of the several sellers found in

RE: how to take a good picture of yourself

[khevener]

Her latest book on that subject is Capturing and Sharing the World.  I am 
willing to sell my copy as I have gotten what I need from it.  It is in two 
braille volumes.  Let me know if interested.

Re: how to take a good picture of yourself

If you are serious about doing camera work, 
National Braille Press has the following book:


Get the Picture!
Viewing the World with the iPhone Camera

Judith M. Dixon

At 09:55 PM 7/22/2022, you wrote:

Hello,

All the feedback provided here has been great. 
In addition, I think it is important to learn 
about how photography and cameras work, and to 
learn where the camera is on your particular 
device, how wide the angle of your camera is 
(which is part of the reason it may be good to 
take portraits) and what else may be captured 
that is in your background (hint, it's not 
likely to be the lower part of your body unless 
your phone is angled with the camera pointed at 
the lower part of your body.) Cameras are all 
different. Different phones have different 
cameras that are able to see at different angle 
width, work in varying lighting situations, etc. 
This is why, I believe, it may be helpful to 
read reviews of a phone from an individual that 
can talk about issues and quirks with the camera.


So, some picture-taking tips, then:

* The farther your hold your phone away from 
you, or the farther you are away from the 
camera, the more general picture you'll take, 
and the more of your body will be in the 
picture. Counter to that, the closer you have 
the phone, the lmaller of an area you will be 
taking a picture of. This is because, in a way, 
a camera is essentially seeing similar to a 
cone. The closer to the device you are, the 
narrower the view, the farther, the more is seen.
* These days, phones do pretty well with image 
stabilization, but it is still good to try to 
steady your hand as you take a picture. Using 
voice commands, volume buttons, etc., can help 
with this. Holding your elbows close to your 
body can help with steadying your arms as well.
* Even with night mode, and as good as cameras 
have become, it is still vital to understand 
your lighting. Too dark, and your image may not 
turn out the way you like. Too bright, and same 
thing happens, though for different reasons. Try 
to avoid glare or taking a picture directly into 
the sun. Try to avoid super dark photos.


There are lots of guides for taking a good 
selfie, and they can make for interesting 
reading. They aren't all super visual, and it 
really can help to understand the concepts 
behind picture-taking if you want to get good at 
taking pictures of yourself, or anything else for that matter, including OCR.


Of course, you can also use Aira as well and 
forget much of what I've said here.

I would recommend Judy Dixon's book, Capturing and Sharing the World from 
National braille press; available in word and epub as well as braille etc.
Here is a link to a review from Access World  that should help you decide 
whether to buy the book:

Wanted to buy Rivo2 keypad in United States

[Mohib Anwar Rafay]

Hi there,  one of my friends is in Los Angeles for the time being. He
will be returning to India in couple of weeks. Does anyone have an
idea of the availability of Rivo2 keypad in US? From where can it be
ordered or purchased from any physical store in California?
As in my country, that is India, they dont have any store, and
international shipping takes too much time and extra money. Suggest me
the way how to get Rivo latest keypad from US.
