RE: Can I read MP3 books in my iPhone?

[Christopher Chaltain]

When you say Dropbox is by far the easiest way to transfer files, are you using 
Dropbox as an example of a file storage in the cloud service, or do you 
literally mean it's by far the easiest way to transfer files? I'm asking 
because I use One Drive, and I'm wondering if Dropbox is somehow a lot easier 
to use than One Drive.

There are a few ways to transfer files to and from an iOS or iPadOS device, 
some geekier than others:



1. Via Dropbox



By far the easiest way is to put Dropbox on every computer, phone and tablet 
you own. Just like iCloud, put something in Dropbox on one device, it appears 
on all the others.



2. Purchase an external drive and adapter and use an application to read that 
drive on your phone or tablet.



Attach the drive to your computer, load it up with whatever you want, then plug 
it into your phone and transfer the files from the drive to the phone using the 
Files or File Browser application.



3. From a Mac, just use iCloud Drive, or see below for how to set up a network 
share:



4. Set up a network share on the system with the files to which you want access:



Here's how to do it from the gospel according to Microsoft:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/file-sharing-over-a-network-in-windows-b58704b2-f53a-4b82-7bc1-80f9994725bf

Here's how to do it on a Mac:

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-file-sharing-on-mac-mh17131/mac

On the iOS or iPadOS device, open Files or File Browser (if you have that 
application) and add a network share as appropriate. You'll need the IP address 
of your computer, and a username/password to access it. It's the same 
username/password you use to log into it for normal use. If you don't log in to 
your Windows machine but, as I do, have the thing come up at the Desktop and 
you've forgotten your username, you can get that from Control Panel by 
searching for "user" and choosing the appropriate option. Set up your Windows 
network share to be as inclusive as you like because only you have access to it 
over your local area network. Even those who visit your network won't have 
access to it because they will presumably not know the password to that system 
even if they know your username, so you're secure.

If the mp3 files are labeled in such a way that they will play in the right 
order, like chapter01.mp3, chapter02.mp3 etc., my favorite way to do this is to 
zip the files into one .zip file with the name of the book as the file name, 
then import it into Voice Dream Reader.

Voice Dream Reader will take a zipped audio book and use the file name as the 
name of the book and each file then will be its own chapter and you can pause 
and come back to where you left off, you can drop bookmarks, etc.

Others may have suggestions too.

IPhone Accessories from Blind-Owned Business

A couple months ago I believe someone on this list recommended a business that 
sells iPhone cases and accessories, guide dog harness pouches, and many other 
products. The business is owned by a person who is blind, so it's a business I

Hello

I am new to battery cases. I did not find any options for a quality 
Apple battery case for my SE 2020 through Apple Sales, so I went for a cheap 
case via Amazon.

   I am confused about how these work even though I have 
been read the instructions.

   There is indeed a power switch on the back of the case. 
It is presently turned off since the phone was charged when I first put it in 
the case and I cannot remember if I had fully charged it beforehand. I did have 
the battery case plugged in for hours before the phone was installed in it. I’m 
assuming that the reading on the status bar of the phone is the actual charge 
that the phone itself has. Is there a way to know how much charge the battery 
case itself has? When would I power on the phone and know when to power it back 
off if I am supposed to charge the phone first? It says it takes 2 hours but 
how do I verify the battery has been charged to capacity?

Instructions for the case do indeed say that as the battery wears down, 
I should charge the phone first, at which point after that was done, I would 
turn the power back on to allow the battery case to then fill up.

   An Amazon customer when doing a search says to charge 
both phone and battery case at the same time. Before reading the instructions, 
that is what I might have assumed would be the way to do it.

I cannot tell if I am getting any extra battery usage out of the phone 
in the case of yet because uncharacteristically I did not use my phone a lot 
yesterday.

Is there a reading anywhere where I can see how much charge the battery 
case has at any given time? Am I right that my phone is always going to read 
what charge the phone itself has, and the only way to track the effectiveness 
of gaining more battery time is if I notice that I have to charge less often

I never knew about not releasing the button until through speaking. I do guess

If using the home button or side button you absolutely have to wait for the 
tone before speaking.  And don't release the button until you are done speaking.

If using Hey Siri you don't have to wait.

I've had no problems with Siri and opening any app including BARD Mobile.
I'd begin suspecting the microphone.

However, some times when asking an informational question, I will get strange 
responses.  But that is the exception rather than the rule.

Sometimes I just don’t understand what Siri is doing. I just asked Siri to 
“open bard Mobile“. This is a command I use a lot and I really never had a 
problem with it until now. Upon issuing this command, I heard Siri respond you 
don’t have anyone named Howard in your contacts. That is just about the dumbest 
thing I’ve seen Siri do recently, and there have been a lot of similar 
stupidity‘s on series part. I just don’t get it. Regular dictation seems quite 
accurate. But interacting with Siri to get Siri to do something on the device? 
Oh, brother! It’s like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates. You never know what 
you’re going to get. 
I will say, however, that the only problem I seem to be having with dictation 
these days is Siri putting periods where they do not be long. Apparently, Siri 
thinks that any sort of complex sentence needs to be broken up even if it 
really is a perfectly good sentence, and does not need To be broken up.

RE: Siri and iOS 16.2, what a mess!

[Richard Turner]

If using the home button or side button you absolutely have to wait for the 
tone before speaking.  And don't release the button until you are done speaking.

If using Hey Siri you don't have to wait.

I've had no problems with Siri and opening any app including BARD Mobile.
I'd begin suspecting the microphone.

However, some times when asking an informational question, I will get strange 
responses.  But that is the exception rather than the rule.

I wrote to Jeff after finding the link from my web page was broken.  He wrote

Re: I no longer receive notifications from Weather Gods app

Yes my notifications came back this morning. so it does take a little 
time to get things working again after reinstalling weather gods.

When I got my notifications back, I went and deleted a city I no

possibly it may take a few hours for your notifications to come back. 
That’s only a thought, though.

Another thing to try is choosing the Pause Notifications button, then choosing

I opened Weather Gods a few minutes ago and found a bunch of specific, configurable notification settings. We'll see if anything happens now that I've activated some of these.

Re: Can I read MP3 books in my iPhone?

VDR rocks for this exact reason! It's why I have it.

Voice Dream Reader will take a zipped audio book and use the file name

you can pause and come back to where you left off, you can drop

Re: Can I read MP3 books in my iPhone?

[Steve Matzura]

There are a few ways to transfer files to and from an iOS or iPadOS 
device, some geekier than others:



1. Via Dropbox


By far the easiest way is to put Dropbox on every computer, phone and 
tablet you own. Just like iCloud, put something in Dropbox on one 
device, it appears on all the others.



2. Purchase an external drive and adapter and use an application to read 
that drive on your phone or tablet.



Attach the drive to your computer, load it up with whatever you want, 
then plug it into your phone and transfer the files from the drive to 
the phone using the Files or File Browser application.



3. From a Mac, just use iCloud Drive, or see below for how to set up a 
network share:



4. Set up a network share on the system with the files to which you want 
access:



Here's how to do it from the gospel according to Microsoft:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/file-sharing-over-a-network-in-windows-b58704b2-f53a-4b82-7bc1-80f9994725bf

Here's how to do it on a Mac:

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-file-sharing-on-mac-mh17131/mac

On the iOS or iPadOS device, open Files or File Browser (if you have 
that application) and add a network share as appropriate. You'll need 
the IP address of your computer, and a username/password to access it. 
It's the same username/password you use to log into it for normal use. 
If you don't log in to your Windows machine but, as I do, have the thing 
come up at the Desktop and you've forgotten your username, you can get 
that from Control Panel by searching for "user" and choosing the 
appropriate option. Set up your Windows network share to be as inclusive 
as you like because only you have access to it over your local area 
network. Even those who visit your network won't have access to it 
because they will presumably not know the password to that system even 
if they know your username, so you're secure.

An Apple Music Annoyance

[Steve Matzura]

Get hits: If you're on a Zoom conference, you probably know it's 
possible to share audio from other applications via the share screen 
dialog on iOS, iPadOS and MacOS. But I'll bet you didn't know that it 
only works on the Mac. Try it. If you do, only you can hear the track 
playing. I'm wondering, Apple's problem or Zoom's? Apple technikcal 
support was unaware of the problem and won't take ownership of it, and 
of course Zoom says it's an Apple problem. Lovely.

If you submit feedback from within the app's settings area it'll create 
an email message beginning with information from the app regarding its 
configuration for you after which you can add your comments regarding 
the difficulty.  I have found the app's developer to be extremely

to him. I've no doubt you'll get a prompt answer and hopefully a good

Re: I no longer receive notifications from Weather Gods app

[Kathy Blackburn]

I've done everything as well. There was no notification at 7:00pm last night or 7:00am this morning. My next steps are to write to the developer and perhaps, ultimately, to cancel my subscription and uninstall the app.

Re: I no longer receive notifications from Weather Gods app

[Vicky Collins]

When I got my notifications back, I went and deleted a city I no longer needed. When I did that, though, for a few hours after that, I still got that city notifications. I’m only saying this because possibly it may take a few hours for your notifications to come back. That’s only a thought, though. Sent from my iPhoneOn Dec 17, 2022, at 9:10 PM, Gordon  wrote:

RE: Can I read MP3 books in my iPhone?

[Christopher Chaltain]

I do something similar, namely I zip them up and place them into One Drive. I 
then use the Book Player app to pull them from One Drive and make a volume out 
of them, that way each MP3 file is treated as a chapter in a book.

I zip my mp3 books up and put them into a folder in voice dream reader using 
iTunes.  I do the same thing with audio dramas as well.  It works quite well 
and is a lot of fun.
