Re: question about braille display and kindle app
You need to press enter-4-5-6 on the Apex. This tells Keysoft to ignore the next command (space-o in your case) and pass it straight to the iPhone.

I can't shut the phone off; I have no sounds except with Siri; I have no speech from VO except with Siri where VO works fine with all the gestures. I can call out by telling Siri to call a contact. After that, I have a working keypad where I can dial extensions. I can receive calls and while I am talking I have VO and gestures work. However, when the call ends, everything is dead again. nothing else works except that I get the buzz tone when I put the phone on mute. I thought I knew how to reboot -- holding down the home and on-off buttons at the same time for several seconds. I have done this several times with no affect. I have also charged the phone all night and there is no change.

Re: honest opinion
As others have said, the 5S is better if you can afford it. The 5c is nothing more than an iPhone5 in a colorful, plastic case, so it will not be supported as long. The 5s also has a better processor, the m4 coprocessor which gives it better battery (some say), the fingerprint reader, and so forth. If money is no object, go for the 5s. If you have to upgrade now but can't spend a lot, go for the 5c. If you can wait until the end of 2014, do so, and get the iPhone6 when it comes out. reports and rumors suggest it will be quite the upgrade - 5-inch saphire-coated (AKA scratch-proof) screen, better camera, new look, and the usual hardware improvements and longer support. -- Have a great day, Alex mehg...@gmail.com On Feb 6, 2014, at 6:25 PM, Jim Ruby j...@blindsea.com wrote: 5s built better and a bit more under the hood. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of kate andrekson Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2014 2:59 PM To: Viphone List; Iphone list Subject: honest opinion Hey guys, Between the 5s and the 5c, which phone do you think is the better to upgrade to?

Re: Need tips to enter an itunes gift card using the camera independently
First be sure you are in good light. Then, place the camera lens right on the rectangle holding the code, so the code is oriented such that iss left edge is toward the volume buttons. (in other words, the camera will see it the same way you would see it to read it). Then, slowly lift the phone straight up, until the code is captured. I can do this reliably on a Mac or iOS, it just takes a bit of practice. I also cannot overstate the importance of a good, strong light source, preferably not straight overhead so you don't cast as much of a shadow on the code with the phone. -- Have a great day, Alex mehg...@gmail.com On Feb 6, 2014, at 6:58 PM, Jen Colley jen.col...@shaw.ca wrote: Hi, I am trying to enter an itunes gift card independently using my iPhone 4s and its camera.

Re: phones using same apple ID and notes
Create separate accounts. I never encourage anyone to share accounts, for exactly that reason. No one wants to have the same contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks and passwords, Passbook passes, and more. Sure, you can't share apps, but I'd rather buy my own apps than deal with having all my personal data mixed with that of someone else, no matter how close I am to that other person. Besides, when you switch IDs, the apps will remain. You can't update them, but they will still be there unless you manually remove them. -- Have a great day, Alex mehg...@gmail.com On Feb 6, 2014, at 10:52 PM, brian albriton autoharp...@gmail.com wrote: My wfe and I share the same apple ID and notes that I make appear on her phone and hers appear on mine?

Re: Using an iPhone without a Case
I looked into those when I first got my iPhone5. Most of the Amazon reviews seemed negative, and that was discouraging. Plus, I love the belt clip for my current case and would hate to lose that feature. I love the idea of the Invisible Shield, I'm just not sure how it would work for everyday use and shock protection. Plus, as you said, the screen needs to remain smooth for good Voi9ceover use, at least I think so. I guess I'd like to see a phone covered in this stuff and go from there. -- Have a great day, Alex mehg...@gmail.com On Feb 5, 2014, at 8:12 AM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Alex, If you like the feel of the iPhone as is but you want a more grippy surface you might want to consider the Invisishield protectors from Zagg. The material they use is the same as what they put on helicopter windshields for flying in desert conditions where sand can quickly dull the glass. They are made from a self-healing material which has a very rubbery, grippy texture and you can get just a screen protector or you can get them also for the back and the sides of your phone. Here in Canada they often have a booth at larger malls and they also offer to put them on for a small free which is a good idea especially for us blind folks. They use some sort of gel first and then the pieces of material have to be applied very precicely. I think you are not supposed to use it for an hour or so while it sets, then you can use it and while there might be some tiny bubbles they work themselves out within a day or so and you'll notice at the beginning it feels a bit soft, but then as the gel or whatever it is they use cures it becomes very solid, almost like it's coated in this rubbery material. I used to have them on my iPhone 4, only thing I didn't like was that the glass now is not slippery any more for lack of a better word. I like it that I can slide my finger around with very little resistance and that does change a bit with the Invisishield. But any screen protector changes that a bit and I guess if you were mainly concerned about having a good solid grip you could just get them put on the back and the sides.

Re: Using an iPhone without a Case
I have the same approach. Mine is a $25 case from Best Buy that covers the back and sides, and includes a belt clip. I can snap the phone in with the screen covered by the inside of the clip/holster, or facing outward so I can perform some actions while I'm moving around. No, this isn't a water/drop/shock/dust-proof case, but it isn't big and heavy either. My phone spends enough time in my pocket while I'm at home that light and slim still matter, so a Defender or other big case is not for me. Finally, the smaller case lets the phone sit on my dock, something that a large case would prevent. -- Have a great day, Alex mehg...@gmail.com On Feb 4, 2014, at 10:41 AM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Craig, Here are my 2 Cents worth. I definitely don't like bulky cases. However, I usually wear jeans and I don't like lose clothing so I don't find it very comfortable having my phone in my jeans pocket. Furthermore I have this notion that having it in my pocket where it basically is against my body and where one side of the phone is constantly exposed to 90+ degrees heat must not be so good. I also often want access to my phone when I am walking along or even when I'm at work and therefore I much prefer to have it on my belt. I don't usually sit around at the same desk at work therefore just putting it on my desk is not something I do that often because I know that if I'm in my office upstairs and then I get up to go downstairs or to deal with a customer in my store I just forget to pick up the phone. The case I use on a day-to-day bases is a $6 case from www.Monoprice.com which I posted about before. It's very minimalistic, the part that goes on the phone is made from a hard plastic material and just covers the back and sides. It snaps on securely and then you slide the entire unit into the belt clip unit sort of like sliding a drawer into it's ressess except this slides in with some friction to hold it in place. I can slide the phone in right side up or upside down and, if I want, even with the screen towards my body. I actually prefer it upside down because if I reach down to do something that can be done very easily and comfortably.

That's what I was going to say. smile You can create rules on a Mac, but those only sync as long as the mac is online. Truly device-independent rules must be made from iCloud.com, not any one device. The process is accessible, and, like Gmail, will sync to all your devices since the filtering happens at the server level, not any one device. -- Have a great day, Alex mehg...@gmail.com On Feb 4, 2014, at 4:52 PM, Teresa Cochran vegaspipistre...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks, Max.

Re: Using an iPhone without a Case
Cases also offer a better gripping surface. Perhaps it's just something to get used to, but I find myself constantly worrying about dropping an iPhone if it isn't in any case at all. The 4 and 4s aren't as bad since they are thicker, but the 5 and later always feel ready to slide out of my hand. A case gives me something more to grip. Again, it might just be a psychological thing, but there it is. -- Have a great day, Alex mehg...@gmail.com On Feb 4, 2014, at 10:10 PM, Tom Lange lang...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Craig, Although I like the idea of using an iPhone without a case, I'm one of those guys who crams everything but the kitchen sink into various pockets in my pants, shirts, jackets, et cetera. More often than not I carry my phone in my left front pants pocket, which is also where I keep my keys, a nail clipper and my mini Swiss Army knife. So I don't want my iPhone scratched by all the paraphernalia that I carry around with me. Consequently I keep it in an Otterbox case to protect it. A colleague of mine used to carry her phone around without a case. Over time the back camera lens got seriously scratched, and since the camera is important to me for use with apps like Text Grabber, Camfind, et cetera, I further resolved to always keep my phone in a case.

The reasons for putting an iPhone in a protectivecase are very good ones, and I don't want to devalue them. However, the iPhone without a case is certainly a more compact an sleek unit. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has chosen not to use a case. What protective measures do you take with your phone? For instance, do you put in a pocket or purse compartment that no other item occupies? Do you try to avoid using it in crowded areas where the chances of its being dropped are increased? Thank you.

Re: new descriptive audio source for your i-device.
Descriptions of *some* content over *some* transmission mediums is indeed required, as I understand it. I think the question is about where the source material comes from. For instance, some argue that the Movie Vault on www.blindmicemegamall.com is illegal because it offers downloads of audio-only described movies and TV shows. Others argue that www.blindy.tv is illegal because it re-transmits, though does not let you download, described content and no one knows where that comes from. This website does seem quite vague, i must admit. Is their material sourced from movie and TV producers? Obtained legally some other way? illegal? What exactly are their service plans? What do they offer for content? Pricing? Availability? I'm intrigued, but it would be good to have a lot more information first. -- Have a great day, Alex mehg...@gmail.com On Feb 2, 2014, at 5:36 PM, Fred Olver goodfo...@charter.net wrote: I'm not sure what you mean by legal issues.

Re: adding books to Bard app from hard drive?
Thanks. Yes, I see what you mean about re-downloading being faster. :) On Jan 26, 2014, at 10:47 AM, Cheryl Homiak cahom...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, you can also do this with dropbox. Here are the steps again. 1. Put the zip file in your dropbox folder on your computer. Make sure it has time to have uploaded into dropbox. open dropbox on your device. If your zip file doesn't show up there, just wait; eventually it will. 3. Find the zip file. Double tap it. Then wait till the progress says 100%. 4. Double tap share. 5. Double tap open in. 6. Double tap open in bard mobile. The bard mobile app will open but will still not show the new book. This time I just left it open and and after a couple of minutes I got an alert that said the request had timed out. This may or may not happen to you. Remember the book has to do more than just be in the app; it has to be authorized which means the server is being contacted if I understand correctly. 7. Go out of the app. I didn't remove it from the app switcher; I just pressed the home button on my phone and then pressed the home button twice to get back into the app switcher and found the bard mobile app and double tapped on it. I think it might have still said 5 audiobooks but as I flicked through the books, I found my new one. Then I checked again and it did say 6 audiobooks. Order of this may vary.

Re: help with voicedream
Those controls no longer exist. Don't panic, though, you can still fast forward and rewind, and the mechanism is actually really clever. When you touch the play/pause button, Voiceover will announce that it is adjustable. Double tapping will play or pause, flicking up will rewind, and flicking down will fast forward. The amount by which you can jump is controlled in the same way - the button is adjustable, so you can flick up or down until you find the increment you want. No need to double tap, just flick to it and you're done. On Jan 26, 2014, at 12:32 PM, Michelle mwagner7...@gmail.com wrote: Hi.

Re: Taking a walk? Don't leave home without this!
Well said, and I completely agree. Just the apps name, and a few sentences about what it does, would be wonderful. As it is, I, too, will not open these links.

Re: Taking a walk? Don't leave home without this!
I don’t think anyone here is trying to put down the work you guys have done, and yes, website traffic is the goal of most blogs and similar services. However, this: Check out this app, number 6 on our Top Ten Apps list: [url] says nothing except that you only had time to type up a sentence and then paste the link. This: Check out Sendero GPS, number 6 on our Top Ten Apps! With Sendero GPS, you can plan routes, explore distant locations, discover nearby points of interest, figure out where you are, and so much more! Check out our review: [url] makes me really want to know more, because that sounds like a great app and I want to know what else you have to say about it. To be very clear: I have no problem whatsoever with you guys posting these app picks here, and I even welcome it as it lets newer list members in on some possibly useful tools for them to go try. However, when is the last time you clicked a link because someone basically said “click this link”? I never do, and I’m sure most people don’t, because I have absolutely no idea what the link goes to and if it is worth it. Giving us just a one-sentence summary of the app, and the app’s name, provides that missing information and will, it seems to me, make people more likely to click through to the website. Maybe I’m off base here, but those are my opinions. Again, I’m more than fine with you guys posting content like this, and would suggest doing it more than once a year, but you may want to look at how you are trying to draw people in.

Our team has been working very hard on this list and you are 100% correct when you say that we are trying to get some attention for our website. If I am not mistaken this is what is done every day on the Internet, and because our list is talking about iOS apps I thought that there would be some people on this list that might enjoy reading our posts. Let me clue everyone into how this list has developed. Each one of our team members picked one of the apps in the list and then wrote up a post about that app. This way we were assured of having very different styles of writing which in my opinion would make for some interesting reading. I believe that we have accomplished this. When you make the statement that this list has a drum role feel to it you hit the nail right on the head. This is the whole point of any kind of a countdown. Finally, everyone on this list or any other list in which people post blog snip its in order to get people to go to their websites have the right not to click that link or to just delete the post, however, I do not think that it is fair for those of us who are working very hard on trying to create content that hopefully the community will like, should be ridiculed for just trying to get noticed. I have said my peace on this and I would hope that others on this list will not hold my words against me if I have said anything in this message to offend them.

Re: Syncing phone calendar to Brallenote apex question
I'm almost certain this is impossible. You *might* be able to get it working through a combination of Keysync and iCloud syncing, but you'd need a computer to act as an intermediary and nothing would be automatic. Personally, considering the portability of my iPhone and how much more often it is with me compared to my Braillenote, I just use the iPhone's calendar for everything. It automatically syncs with the Mac's calendar or Outlook, and I can tell Siri to manage appointments if I want to.

Downcast for $0.99 (as of Jan 27)
Hi all, I just saw on Twitter that Downcast is now $0.99. I don't know how much it usually goes for, but I gather this is a sale price. I've heard a great deal about this app, mostly positive, so I picked it up. Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know in case anyone else had been waiting for a sale before they bought it, as I had been. The Mac version is still $9.99, at least it was when i looked ten minutes ago, so i don't think that is on sale. -- Have a great day, Alex mehg...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: downloading to iPhone or iPod Touch
Not with Hulu or Netflix, these are services that depend on you streaming so they can keep their prices low. If you buy a movie from Amazon, iTunes, or other places you can download it, but not from streaming services. Incidentally, if you do buy movies, I recommend iTunes since that will make your life much easier when trying to get a copy of your movie. I've never dealt with Amazon, but if they treat their movies anything like they do their books, I wouldn't use them.

Re: question about the Braille pen 12.
If you mean the new version, it has touch cursor buttons. Not touch cursor as in physical buttons, but capasitive buttons, like tiny touch sensors, in place of buttons. This not only marks the first time the Pen has included cursor controls at all, it offers less moving parts that can break and allows the device to be smaller.

Re: Question - Re: Digit-Eyes Version 2
It is very accessible, though it will not automatically read out the identified item, you have to find that on the screen. That is the only drawback, though - it is much easier to scan bar codes than Digit Eyes, and it has a manual control for the light if your device supports that. To be fair, Digit Eyes may have added such a control in their latest update, I'm not sure. Still, when I can run my phone all over a box for minutes and find no code with Digit Eyes, then do the same with Red Laser and have a scan in seconds, I know which one I'd rather use.

Re: Video display for iPad?
I don't have any of this, so am going off what I have read only. Apple TVs let you airplay videos to them, or mirror your entire display to show everything your iPad does. You can also buy adapters to plug the iPad directly into a tv or monitor. Chrome Cast is also an option, but is only supported by a few apps like Youtube and Netflix. I am not sure what it would do with the native Videos app, if anything. On Jan 24, 2014, at 8:42 AM, Teresa Cochran vegaspipistre...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, all, I don't own an iPad yet.

Re: Could iCloud cause this issue?
iCloud: no. However, you should go to settings accessibility Voiceover speak notifications on lock screen. If that is off, VO will not speak notifications, just as you are describing. I'm not sure why a sync would have changed that, but it is the first setting that comes to mind.

By that I mean incoming phone calls were announced by Voice Over and my rig tone. AP and weather alerts were announced, too, on the locked screen. Today, I only hear random Voice Over announcements of “screen locked.” In other words, after the fact. I do have vibrations when a call comes in, but that’s all. The only thing I can think of that was different is that last night I had iCloud sync my contacts list from my iPhone to my iPad Mini. I should say that is the first time I have ever used iCloud. I’ve tried looking through the settings on my iPhone, but it seems like everything is the way it should be. My iPad Mini is a wi fi only model, if that means anything. I have turned the iPhone off completely, and back on, but that makes no difference. I wanted to ask here, in case there is something obvious I am missing before getting involved with tech support.

Re: How to Unlock iPhone with Bluetooth-Paired Braille Device
Once the phone is on the lock screen, just flick right to the unlock button and double tap it (hit a cursor key above it, or use space-3-6). In iOS7, you should also be able to do a 3-finger swipe right (space-o I believe). However, to my knowledge, braille display cannot wake up iOS devices like bluetooth keyboards can, so you'll still need to press the lock or home button on the phone itself before you can issue these commands. I believe the problem is that pairing drops once the iOS device locks, so you must wake it up before it will find your display again.

Re: Getting started with Twitterrific 5
Unified Timeline will toggle this on and off. When off, the Tweets button shows your timeline of tweets; when on, it shows that plus any mentions or direct messages. The buttons to change views are at the top, not the bottom, but they do the same things you're used to once you disable Unified Timeline. Yes, the gestures are different. Double tapping a tweet is the same as triple tapping and presents a menu of option to manage the tweet (reply, retweet, open link, and so on). Double tapping and holding lets you copy the tweet, email it, and do other things with the tweet text. Note that adding the tweet to Instapaper or the Safari Reading List is not the same as taking those actions in links inside the tweet.

Re: equivalent jesture for V O f

iPhone behavior during calls without VO
Hi all, In another thread, someone said that Voiceover causes the iPhone to behave differently during a call. Specifically, when VO is on, lowering the phone from your ear enables speakerphone mode automatically. However, with VO off, the phone does not enter this mode. Did I understand things correctly? If so, I must say this is very annoying. I'd much rather see a gesture implemented that will switch between the speaker and earpiece modes, so that I can hang up, select a menu option; and so on in relative privacy. Headphones work well, as discussed in that other thread, but there is the odd time I don't have them. Plus, of course, everyone can't use headphones at all times. I'm just waiting to hear from you all before writing to Apple Access bility about this. Thanks.

Re: iPhone behavior during calls without VO
Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I can see the problems that might arise, and yes, I do the speaker muffling trick all the time. :) It seems there are disadvantages to both systems. I think part of it is VO's volume while in a call. That is something Apple must have a hard time getting right, but I often find the speech volume to be shouting while those on the phone are just speaking normally. I know it used to be reversed, and people had a hard time hearing speech at all. Still, I wouldn't mind being able to lower speech volume on the fly. Of course the rotor offers this ability, but while you're trying to adjust things quickly it can be tedious to hunt through all the rotor options to find speech volume. All in ll this isn't something I'm overly worried about, especially now that you've pointed out how people might react. I guess I just like having more settings and less immovable defaults. :) On Jan 23, 2014, at 6:05 PM, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, I did say that, and you apparently haven't read the rest of the message about it. Here is what happens with every app where VO stays in the earpiece, without exception. People start complaining on various lists that VO is broken whenever they use the particular app because they cannot hear VO. This complaining continues until 1) the app developer sends VO to the speaker, or 2) people cease using the app. Now, what do you honestly believe will happen when a person takes the phone away from the ear and cannot hear, or can barely here, VO? In fact, what will you personally do? My bet is you will start complaining as loudly as everybody else. In fact, you can test this for yourself. When on a phone call, take the phone away from your ear. Perform a two-finger swipe up to get VO reading the entire screen. Now, hold a couple fingers in front of, and just a little below, the earpiece. You will very quickly notice that it is extremely hard to hear VO talking through the earpiece when the earpiece is away from your ear. Put another way, we intellectually believe that VO would be nice and quiet so others cannot hear it. We conveniently forget that it being so quiet also means we can barely, or may not at all, be able to hear it ourselves. Fortunately, Apple has figured this out, and thus far at least, has ignored this particular request which keeps coming up every few months. Oh, by the way, if you want to muffle VO, but still be able to hear it enough, just place your thumb over the speaker whilst keeping the mic uncovered. The mic is between the headset jack and the lightning port. The speaker is on the other side of the lightning port and goes all the way to the edge. This is, of course, on the 5 and 5S. On the older phones, the mic is on the bottom next to the side with the volume buttons. The speaker is on the other side of the bottom. The 30-pin docking port is in the middle.

Re: iPhone behavior during calls without VO
That's great news, I'll give that a try. Is this setting ever lost? Does it persist at all, or do you need to do it per phone call?

The rotor VO volume adjustment currently has a bug where if you go below 35%, VO volume gets stuck and will not go above 35% unless you do a reset of all settings. That said, if you make a call, take the phone away from your ear, do a two-finger swipe up to start reading the entire page, then bring the phone back to your ear, using the volume buttons to change VO volume will then change it relative to the phone volume.

Re: Paying with iTunes gift card
That's what gift cards are for, but you must add them to your account before making the purchase. Simply open the iTunes Store or iTunes on your computer, go to your account page (on iOS that is your Apple ID near the bottom), and you should see a redeem button hanging around there. Once you tap that, you can either enter the card's code or use the camera on your Mac or iOS device to capture the code (a very easy process) and there you go. Once done, that balance is automatically applied to anything you buy in the App Store or on iTunes.

Re: Accessible twitter apps
Just some corrections here. Tweetlist is a great app, but twitterrific has most of the functionality you say you prefer in Tweetlist. It has separate tweets, mentions, and messages views, it *can* show everything in one list but you can turn that off, you can retweet, reply, and so on without opening a tweet, it fully supports managing lists (as of today), and it supports live streaming. Both apps cost about the same, though Twitterrific is on sale for $0.99 for a limited time, so you may just want to grab both. My only gripe with Twitterrific is that you have to open a link in the in-app browser before you can send the link to a read later service, but other than that it does everything Tweetlist does. In fact, it goes a step further, giving real-time notifications, instead of the interval-based checking Tweetlist does.

Re: Accessible twitter apps
It supports streaming, so timelines are updated as soon as tweets arrive. The notifications I was talking about are push notifications. Tweetlist checks every few minutes and alerts you, but Twitterrific is always waiting, so can push an alert immediately. It also supports more than mentions and DMs - it does follows, favorites of your tweets, and retweets even where you are not mentioned.

Newsify not hiding read items
Hi all, I'm still trying to use Newsify. Someone said that it will auto-hide read items, so anything I read will not alpear as I browse articles. This is not pvuving to be the case, however. I'm seeing the same items appearing over and over, and the only way to not see them is to mark them all as read, then view only unread items. The problem is that I have folders of feeds, and I want to browse by those folders not by all unread. So, how do I get Newsify to only show unread items in folders? Thanks.

Re: Newsify question
I know I can mark them as read, but once I read or scroll through articles I want them gone. I'll have to email the developer I suppose, unless this app has a different way of handling things? I thought I saw a place to auto-delete read articles after a sed number of days, maybe I can set that to be much sooner. On 1/20/14, Craig Werner coffeeb...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, Alex. Newsify doesn't have a delete articles feature per se, but you can press the Additional actions button and then press the button marked something like mark all as unread. I believe you can also scroll through a screenful or two of articles in which you are not interested and then press Additional Actions and then the Mark Previous as Read button.

Re: Syncing contacts on 3 iDevices
The apps don't matter. Just turn on contacts in iCloud settings on all three and they should sync up. If you want only certain contacts on each phone, that is another matter, but if you want all of them on all the phones, iCloud should handle that with no problem.

Re: SpellStack Player's Guide
Thanks for taking the time to write that out. The tutorials make sense now, but as I play an actual game I find myself getting lost.

I tapped all four, in order as you told me on Twitter, and the game said it was moving tiles, then that it could not make the word. What happened? No tiles are locked, so what is it trying to move things for? Why would making the word fail since all four are touching? On a side note, what visually denotes a locked tile?

Re: SpellStack Player's Guide
Oh, I thought they could be in any order so long as I tapped them in the correct order. Okay, one more puzzle solved. I'm still unclear on when the game moves letters, though. For instance, I spelled sheen going all the way up the first column as my initial move in a game, and the app rearranged my tiles for some reason. By the time the AI went, I had no idea where it had moved my tiles because some had disappeared.

Re: SpellStack now out on the App Store
, etc. Perhaps some of these will be covered in podcasts, but more details on how to do it in the game would be nice too. The tutorial just tells me to tap on the letters to move and stack them.

Re: SpellStack now out on the App Store
Okay, I see what you mean, thanks. I'm now going through my first game… and I don't know what is going on. I get the theory, sort of, but the tutorial never covered making words from enemy letters, or what locking is and how to use it. Gameplay seems confusing at this point, and honestly I'm only still trying to figure it all out because the company has a good reputation. If this were some game I ran across, I don't think I would still have it installed. There must be a better way for the company to explain how this all works and make it seem more engaging and fun as you are working through it. Or maybe that's just me… On Jan 15, 2014, at 3:13 PM, Chris Chaffin cchaf...@twcny.rr.com wrote: Hello Alex, There is a reason why it ask you to move the letter P to column C. It is showing you that moving letters away from your opponents will increase there value. When P is in column D, its value is 2 points. When you move it to column C, if you notice, its value increses to 3 points. So there is nothing else you have to move in this puzzle, just double tap the letters P E T, then double tap T again to submit it, and then you will move on to the next step of the tutorial. I will say a couple of things: In actual game play, you would be able to submit the word pet even if the letter P was in column D, but it does not work for this part of the tutorial because it wants you to see about the increasing of the value of letters when they are away from your opponents. But ultimately, you want the most points for each word you submit, so having the letter P in column C is the best thing since it earns you more points. Next, please notice, that the letters E and T are only connected diagonally. So letters can be touching not only on the sides, but also diagonally to use them. Hope this helps.

On Jan 15, 2014, at 2:19 PM, Chris Chaffin cchaf...@twcny.rr.com wrote: Hello, It has taken me a bit of time and some practice, but I think I know the game Spell Stack pretty good. I would be happy to answer questions, and help others start playing this great and challenging game. Now I still do not know everything, but I will help in any way I can. Here are some simple things: * The game board is a 5 by 5 block square. * If you use the roter wheel and switch virtical on, then this will make navigating the game board grid better. This will allow you to swipe up and down, and not just right and left. This comes in handy when looking at a particular column and seeing what letters are in it. * To spell a word, the letters do not have to be in order. They just need to be touching. * You move a letter by simply double tapping on it to select it. Then you go to the square you want to move it to and double tap that square, and the letter is moved to the new square. * You can also move your opponents letters as long as their value is 0. * As far as moving, it goes by columns. In moving a letter, you can only move the top letter of a column. So think of it as letters stacked in columns. So if you move a letter to an empty column, then that letter will automatically be put on the first square at the bottom in that column, no matter where in that column you try to place it. * As far as points, this can vary depending on how your letters are placed. Letters gain points if they are touching and grouped together. A letter that is beside an opponents letter is worth less than a letter that is beside one of your own letters. For example. In the first move of a game, you normally have 5 letters across the last row of the game board. This means you can stack those letters however you want depending on what you want to spell. I normally use 3 to 4 letters for my first word. So I Will group those 4 letters together in a square, 2 letters per column. If you do this and notice, the points of each letter will normally go up. * As a defensive move, it might also help to put the lower valued letters, which are normally more common inside your group of letters to help keep your opponent from stealing them, or accessing them to break your word. * Stealing opponents letters: I think it increases the value of your word if you use one of your opponents letters in your word. You are only able to use an opponents letters if its unlocked. * Breaking your opponents word: You can break
Re: Difficulty Entering Space Character in MBraille
Yes, it is something to simply get used to. After months of using the app on a weekly basis, sometimes daily, I almost never have this problem. There is a sensitivity command to make a smaller movement register as a swipe instead of a touch, but I don't remember the exact syntax. Use the .feedback command to email the MBraille email list and ask about it; I think changing this hidden setting will help you. It certainly made a difference for me.

Re: SpellStack now out on the App Store
It would help to have an overall description, I think. That is, how are words formed - vertically, horizontally, diagonally? From where do you get letters? How can you change the board to frustrate your opponent? Can letters be stacked on top of each other in a single cell?

A couple of notes though: -Pay attention to the popup at the start of a tutorial level! They have the info on what the tutorial is trying to teach you. In the next version we'll be clearer with the label that's in game. -Letters in each column stack. If there's a letter above another letter in a column you have to move the letter thats on top first. -The game will try to move letters for you. Select the letters in the word you want to make and the game will try to move them close enough to make a word. if the game says Can't Make Word that means the letters can't be moved in a way where you can submit a word.

Re: Sending Mail to Multiple Recipients
Just type the first address and hit enter. You will see it appear above the to field, but the field itself will be blank, awaiting a new address. You can do this as often as you like. Be warned that focus may sometimes jump out of the field, but it should still be the only one editing, so you can probably just keep typing.

Re: Ottr Defender case?
The Defender should have a flap, or maybe just a hole, on the bottom left.

Moving Contacts from iPad to iPhone without using iCloud
Hi all, Sorry for the non-accessibiliyt topic, but I can't think of anyone else to ask. Here's the situation: a friend of mine has an iPad Mini he got from his wife when the screen was damaged. It doesn't display much, but he uses Voiceover and the rest of the unit works just fine. However, it was still tied to her Apple ID when he started using it. It has contact syncing off, so the contacts he's put on it are not yet merged, thankfully, with all of her contacts. Now he has an iPhone 5C and wants all his contacts on the new phone, naturally. We made him an Apple ID today, but now I can't think of an easy way to put the iPad contacts onto the iPhone since the accounts are different. We can't revert to his wife's account since he would then get tons of extra contacts he doesn't want. Worse still, the iPad is a first-generation Mini, so Airdrop is out of the question. I can email or text all the contacts one at a time, but that will take a long time. Is there an easier way I'm overlooking? Thanks for any help.

MBraille, no contest. •BrailleTouch lack grade 2 support for engligh •BrailleTouch has not been updated in quite some time, and tweets and emails to the developer seem to go ignored •MBraille supports dot commands, so you can call, skype, FaceTime, email, tweet, post to Facebook, and do much more right from the braille keyboard •MBraille offers an email list where the developer himself is present to answer questions and take suggestions •I could go on, but that should do it. smile On Jan 4, 2014, at 10:37 PM, Amy pinkfloridasunr...@gmail.com wrote: Which app do you prefer and why? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: bookshare and voice dream question
I am pretty sure it will work. Just be sure the book is daisy, not brf, and is still zipped up. You can indeed download from Bookshare right in the app, but you can't download an audio daisy or mp3 of the book like you can from the website.

My thoughts on the Aftershokz Bluez
Hi all, I received a pair of Aftershokz Bluez headphones for Christmas. I've used them a lot over the last day, and have formed an opinion of them. Below are the pros and cons I've seen so far. Pros: •light and comfortable. I can wear them for hours with no problems •Wireless: i love that I can use them with my iPhone, but keep the phone in a pocket or in a more comfortable operating position. I also no longer worry about wires getting snagged or pulled. •Speech: the Bluez tell you when they are in pairing mode, when they pair, the battery level when you turn them off, and so on. •volume: I have yet to test them in a loud setting, but they get very loud so I can't imagine I'll have trouble with a car engine or traffic noises. Cons: Connectivity: I get jumpy or broken audio if the phone is in my pocket sometimes. It is random, but it is extremely annoying. •Sound leakage: this is my biggest complaint. I knew that sound would leak from these, but I did not think it would be as bad as it is. I can be standing five feet away from someone who is wearing the Bluez, and still hear them well enough to make out what is being said even if the person has them at a comfortable (not overly loud) level. •Fidelity: I did not expect good sound quality from these, and I don't see this as a con so much as a consequence of the technology. Still, it bears repeating: these headphones are NOT made for good sound quality. They remind me of $5 earbuds you might pick up at Wal-Mart. For speech and books, of course, they are just fine, and you can enjoy music on them. If you care about your music being perfectly represented, though, you will have a problem. •Siri: when you activate Siri while the Bluez are connected, you are forced into what I think of as phone mode, where the quality of audio drops to that of a phone call. Siri's speech sounds not just lower in quality, but staticky and harsh, though phone calls do not have such an odd sound to them. Siri still works, but takes longer to activate and has that awful sound to it when it speaks. Likewise, dictation can take longer to activate. Notes: •I find these work best closer to the ears, which moves the band up your neck a bit. Everyone will have a different opinion, of course, but that works best for me. •I could not get them to pair with my Windows installation, running under Bootcamp on a Mac. I have not tried them with the Mac yet. Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini) mehg...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Aftershokz Bluez audio breaking up?
Hi all, I have found that my new Bluez work just fine if my iPhone is on a table or in my hands. If, however, I leave it in a pocket, as I do a lot, the audio breaks up rather badly as I move around. Is this just mine, or do others have this? I know people talked about a bad batch of Bluez with audio and connectivity problems, but this set works fine for the most part. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Re: Aftershokz Bluez audio breaking up?
That makes sense. With these, the battery and, presumably, the bluetooth radio is on the back of the neck. With the phone in my pocket, I guess there is a lot of me in the way of the signal. I was afraid of this, given that the connection is just fine everywhere else. Well, time to adjust my usage pattern to fit the technology... Again. :) On 12/26/13, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: You are going to have this problem with most Bluetooth devices. The water in your body blocks much of the Bluetooth signal.

Re: utility of an iPad as a productivity tool
Personally, I don't think the iPad offers anything the iPhone does not in terms of apps. It has a better battery life, and some people prefer the interface that some apps (like Mailor Safari) offer, but that's it. Oh, if you use Mbraille, you can type with your fingers straight across the screen. Low vision users often like the larger screen for viewing magnified images or other low-vision apps, but for a blind person that does not matter.

Re: reading a book share book
Yes, VDR will decompress it automatically, and a zip file lets it keep all the files that are part of the book together. It is hard to import a folder, so a zip file is the best way to do it.

Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
I have not seen that ability in iOS7. How might I change the date of an alarm? Unless you are talking about a third-party app? Again, I know there are plenty out there, I just would like to use the default one if I could since I have had trouble in the past with alarm apps not always working. Plus there's Siri, but for now that seems to not be an option.

Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
Thanks. I really thought I done this in iOS6, perhaps not with Siri but at least in the Clock app itself. I may be mistaken, though. On Dec 18, 2013, at 1:38 PM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I don't recall being able to set an Alarm using SIRI for a date/time in the future before iOS 7, either. I seem to remember that I tried this once and SIRI told me it couldn't be done and to consider using a Reminder instead. I find this not such a big deal, after all, mostly you either have a recurring alarm if you get up at the same time each weekday, for example, or if you need a special alarm then I find it to be fairly normal and intuitive to set it the evening before. After all, before we had iPhones and used regular alarm clocks this is what you would do. I just had a look and the only option for an alarm that is more than 1 day ahead is to set a repeating alarm. For example, it's Wednesday now and if I want to set an alarm for next Monday at 7 AM I could select 7 AM as the time, then tap on Repeat, Never and select to repeat the alarm every Monday. This would set a 7 AM for every Monday and I would just have to delete or turn off that alarm if I only wanted it once. At best this would allow you to set an alarm for up to 6 or 7 days in advance. If you were concerned you forget to set an alarm the evening before you needed it you could always tell SIRI to remind you to set the alarm on a specific day in the future, then when the reminder goes off the evening before you just hold down the home key and say Wake me up at 6 AM and it's done.

Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
Okay, yes, tomorrow does work, sorry. I am thinking of future days. For instance, I will need to be up at 5:00 on December 28, and a reminder can't sound an alarm until I interrupt it. Plus, I'd rather it be an alarm, not a reminder, since not only is this not a reminder, but it will cause my Mac and other devices to sound as well since reminders are synced. The repeating alarm idea should work, but it irks me that Apple has removed such a basic feature as selecting the day of an alarm. On Dec 18, 2013, at 12:02 AM, Cheryl Homiak cahom...@gmail.com wrote: Well, could you use the repeat in clock and then get rid of it after the day you want has gone by? For example, say you want an alarm for Christmas morning. You could set it and choose repeat every Wednesday and then get rid of the alarm or at least the repeat indication after Christmas. I know it's kind of roundabout but ought to work. Also, is it possible to set the alarm using calendar or reminders? Actually, it does appear that tomorrow morning is not a problem; you should be able to do that either with clock itself or using siri. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Need Some Tips on Edit Functions
Small correction: it is a three-finger quadruple tap. As to selecting, does the gesture have to be horizontal? I've never gotten it to work very reliably, and this may well be my problem.

Re: OT?? Subscribing To Macvisionaries
This comes up every so often, since many people own or switch to a Mac once they get an iOS device, so I'll keep it on-list. The address is macvisionaries+subscr...@googlegroups.com.

Re: Attention bt keyboard users with any I device
Google it for a full list, but cmd-n, cmd-r, and cmd-shift-r should also work. In Safari, cmd-t and cmd-w work as well. In iOS7, Apple added keyboard command support for apps, so developers can start adding keyboard shortcuts to their apps if they want to. Look for this in future app updates as more developers get onboard with the idea. On Dec 15, 2013, at 4:08 PM, Jim Portillo portillo@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Clifton!

Re: Instapaper Is Really A Subscription Based App
It is, but that is optional. The app is free, and saving articles to your account is free. The subscription lets you add features, such as searching or allowing other apps like Voice Dream Reader access your articles. If all you want to do is save articles to Instapaper and then read them in Instapaper, there is no cost at all.

Re: Attention bt keyboard users with any I device
Sorry, I must have been thinking of something else. I guess those aren't implemented yet, but I imagine, as iOS gets updated, that more and more will make their way in.

I don't think you can do that. If you open MBraille first, you can enter dot commands to access parts of Blindsquare (see the manual for details). You cannot, to my knowledge, use MBraille for text entry directly inside Blindsquare though, you have to start in MBraille and use its commands to activate Blindsquare.

Re: Apex staying paired with IPad and IPhoneBluetooth and

Re: Hanging Up Calls
David, I am great at these gestures, and get them right just about 100% of the time as well. I have used iOS successfully for three years, so trust me when I say: I know what I'm doing. In iOS7.0.4, I have found, on rare occasions, the two-finger double tap to simply not work. I have had this happen twice in the past few days: a call is coming in, so I tap two fingers twice, and nothing happens. I have been sort of monitoring this thread, so both times I methodically checked my finger position, placement on the screen, tap speed, and so on, and tried several more times. The gesture simply fails to work every so often, for no reason I can think of. Like you, I originally figured that those who were having trouble were just doing it wrong, but I must now say that there seems to be a bug with this gesture. Unfortunately, it is a rare one, so is hard to pin down and reproduce, and those are the hardest to fix. On Dec 3, 2013, at 1:18 PM, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: Please do not take this the wrong way. Double-tap the display with four fingers, or go to settings, general, accessibility, VoiceOver, practice area, and perform much more practice with your gestures. You really need to get to the point where you are performing the gestures you believe you are performing 100% of the time. By your message, it is clear that this is not currently the case. For instance, when you perform the single-finger vertical flick to change the volume, or any other flicker, the choice does not go up and down and up again unless your gestures are not precise. The same is true with the two-finger double tap. You state you can get music to start and stop playing with just a few tries. I get music to start with one try and to stop with one try, always and every time I perform the command. This is because I practiced the gestures extensively until I started performing them 100% of the time. Absolutely nothing but lots of practice will correct your difficulties with the gestures. When answering and hanging up phone calls, you are most likely holding your two fingers too close together, so the touchscreen is only able to detect one finger. Because we become anxious when the gesture does not perform correctly the first time, the natural reaction is to tense up and cause our fingers to come even closer together before we try again. When the gesture continues not working, we do more of the same and get even more anxious. Remember, the gesture commands do work properly, all of the time, when we perform the commands properly. Practice, practice, practice, and when you think you finally have the commands down, practice some more because the first few times this happens, the chances are you are bored and flustered with the practicing. Remember, it initially took you a long time with lots of frustration and many mistakes when you learned to type, and when you learned to use the computer with the screen reader. This is no different.

For me the rotor bug is not just the 25 percent limit, but also that if you move it from five percent to ten percent and keep going the same way sometimes you go back to 5 percent instead of on to 15 percent.

Re: Hanging Up Calls
Yes, the OP may well need practice, but there are times on iOS7 when the gesture simply fails. This happened again today, for the third time total, and that is enough for me to report. So no, I have not reported it yet since I wanted to see if it was a fluke, but I am about to do so now that it has proven to not be a one-time oddity. On Dec 3, 2013, at 2:16 PM, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: Have you reported this, plus your normal skill with gestures, to Apple Accessibility? Unfortunately, until a cause can be determined, a fix is most likely not going to occur. That said, in the original email, the person stated that one, two-finger double tap starts music in the player usually in a couple attempts, and two, the single-finger vertical flick up is not consistent - the volume goes up and down. These two statements point to the conclusion that the author needs more practice in the practice area.

I have used iOS successfully for three years, so trust me when I say: I know what I'm doing. In iOS7.0.4, I have found, on rare occasions, the two-finger double tap to simply not work. I have had this happen twice in the past few days: a call is coming in, so I tap two fingers twice, and nothing happens. I have been sort of monitoring this thread, so both times I methodically checked my finger position, placement on the screen, tap speed, and so on, and tried several more times. The gesture simply fails to work every so often, for no reason I can think of. Like you, I originally figured that those who were having trouble were just doing it wrong, but I must now say that there seems to be a bug with this gesture. Unfortunately, it is a rare one, so is hard to pin down and reproduce, and those are the hardest to fix. On Dec 3, 2013, at 1:18 PM, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: Please do not take this the wrong way. Double-tap the display with four fingers, or go to settings, general, accessibility, VoiceOver, practice area, and perform much more practice with your gestures. You really need to get to the point where you are performing the gestures you believe you are performing 100% of the time. By your message, it is clear that this is not currently the case. For instance, when you perform the single-finger vertical flick to change the volume, or any other flicker, the choice does not go up and down and up again unless your gestures are not precise. The same is true with the two-finger double tap. You state you can get music to start and stop playing with just a few tries. I get music to start with one try and to stop with one try, always and every time I perform the command. This is because I practiced the gestures extensively until I started performing them 100% of the time. Absolutely nothing but lots of practice will correct your difficulties with the gestures. When answering and hanging up phone calls, you are most likely holding your two fingers too close together, so the touchscreen is only able to detect one finger. Because we become anxious when the gesture does not perform correctly the first time, the natural reaction is to tense up and cause our fingers to come even closer together before we try again. When the gesture continues not working, we do more of the same and get even more anxious. Remember, the gesture commands do work properly, all of the time, when we perform the commands properly. Practice, practice, practice, and when you think you finally have the commands down, practice some more because the first few times this happens, the chances are you are bored and flustered with the practicing. Remember, it initially took you a long time with lots of frustration and many mistakes when you learned to type, and when you learned to use the computer with the screen reader. This is no different.

Hit the home button three times fast. If that fails, look in the summary tab of your device in iTunes, it should be there. Once you enable it, don't forget to sync or the change will not take effect.

Re: black screen on iPad
You know what's creepy? My grandmother's iPad did the exact same thing this morning, yet she's not a Voiceover user. It persists even after a restart and a home/power reset. Like you, we can see the Apple logo appear, but after the booting is done the screen goes black. The iPad seems to be working, though, since it makes a sound when it is plugged in and that initial boot goes fine. I just find the timing to be very odd.

Re: black screen on iPad
It turns out that the reset I did earlier fixed it, and no one bothered to tell me. shrug I've never seen that particular problem - it was exactly like Voiceover's screen curtain was on, but I can guarantee that Voiceover was not on at all. On Nov 29, 2013, at 5:49 PM, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: When VoiceOver is on, the screen curtain can be toggled on and off. When VoiceOver is off, there is no screen curtain. Therefore, VoiceOver is on on the person's device. If the person does not use VoiceOver, the person accidentally activated it with a triple tap of the home button. This means, the home button has been set up for VoiceOver. Triple tapping the home button will turn VoiceOver off and the screen curtain will deactivate, leaving the screen visually usable. Of course, three-finger triple tap always toggles screen curtain when VoiceOver is running.

cannot gift app, App Store says to set up payment information
Hi all, I'm trying to gift an app. Each time I do, the App Store pops up a dialog telling me I have to set up payment information for my account. I can buy apps just fine, and I have enough in my account to cover this transaction, but I cannot complete it. Does anyone know what is going on and how I can get this to work? I want to do this soon because the app I'm gifting is fifty percent off. I've googled the problem, but everything I find talks about a prompt to verify, not to set up. I've removed the App Store from my app switcher, and restarted my phone. Thanks.
