Re: iCloud backup question
You can just turn off certain apps. Go to your iCloud settings, then Storage and Backup, then Manage Backups. Double tap the name of the device to manage, and turn off any apps you don't want stored in iCloud. You can save a lot of space this way, with apps that either rely on other storage (like Dropbox) or apps whose data you don't care about.

Re: iCloud backup question
No, leave that on. It should be a button; double tapping it should open a screen where you can control exactly which apps get backed up, it should not be a toggle. Yes, there is a toggle inside the Documents and Data screen, but the button from the main iCloud settings screen should not be a toggle. Are you on iOS7?

Possibly, and I agree that the iPhone isn't for everyone. Some are better off with Android, some with a Haven.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Chris is right. We know that 200gb is $4 per month, but pricing fir tiers beyond that was not announced. Also, the new pricing is not yet available as far as I know; I expect it to come out alongside the iOS/OS x releases, but that is only my guess.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Fleksy is a keyboard app that lets you type very quickly. It takes the locations you touched to enter a word and, when you swipe right, it guesses the word. You can therefore touch roughly where you think the proper letters would be, swipe right, and have the word you meant inserted. Many people really like it, and it has begun to be integrated into iOS apps like Blindsquare and Tweetings. Soon, though, it can be made into a default keyboard across the entire OS.

Re: iCloud syncing and iCloud and native app
1. No, iOS needs iTunes to sync ringtones. You can buy one right from a phone, but that is the only other way I know of. 2. Yes. Simply enable Mail, create your email address if you don't already have one @icloud.com, and you're done. Note that you cannot use that iCloud address for your Apple ID, as technically it is a new ID in its own right. I don't really understand how it all works, but the bottom line is you need a non-Apple address as your ID. Hopefully this changes in the near future.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Well, iOS devices are not thumb drives, and I doubt you will ever be able to use one as such without a third-party app of some kind. That said, if an app integrates the upcoming iCloud Drive option, you will have basically what you are seeking, on an app-by-app basis. For example, say you edit a PDF in a Mac app. you can drop it anywhere in your iCloud Drive, then use some app on iOS to browse to and open that file. If Voice Dream were to support iCloud Drive, imagine dumping zipped Daisy books into the drive, then opening them in VDR. I hope I'm making sense.

Re: Questions regarding Aps and IPhone 5S
First, if you can stand the wait, the iPhone6 will be out later this year. You could get that, or get the 5S when it drops in price. As to internet, if you are the only one on the phone plan, 2gb is more than enough. Yes, apps use data, but most let you disable internet access while not on wifi. Besides, the majority will only be pulling small amounts of text, so letting them do what they want won't eat into your data plan. The big data users are audio and video apps - Podcasts, Music, Youtube, Skype, FaceTime, and the like. OCR apps are not great, but they get the job done in most cases. Check out Prizmo, Pocket Reader, and Text Detective for starters. Object identifier apps: Money Reader, that free money identifying app whose name I'm forgetting, TapTapSee, Camfind, Red Laser, and Digit-Eyes are the best ones. I strongly recommend you have a look around www.applevis.com to get more app recommendations and reviews.

Yes, Fleksy will soon be available at any point in iOS when a keyboard appears, from Mail to the App store to, well, anywhere!

The Otterbox Defender case offers the same protection as it does on the 4S, except for the home button. That is left uncovered, so that you can use Touch ID. The rest of the case is solid though, and feels more solid - the outer case is harder and sturdier to my touch, compared to the softer and flimsier silicone of the 4S case.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Yes, that's where I found it as well. There was a slide with thirty-two items the presenters could not cover during the Keynote, and these were among them. There were others as well, most very interesting. As to the keyboard, even if it can predict what I'm going to type most of the time, the question remains: how easy will it be to use? Anyone who uses spellcheck with the native keyboard knows what a pain that is. If accessing predictions is that slow, they won't be much help. Of course, Apple might have come up with a great way for VO users to do this, but until I see it, and that it works well, I'll be more excited for Fleksy or the in-built braille support.

Yes, Fleksy will soon be available at any point in iOS when a keyboard appears, from Mail to the App store to, well, anywhere!

Re: Exploring my iPhone?
Practice only lets you practice gestures, it does not tell you anything about what is on the screen. When you touch something on the screen while not in practice mode, that item is spoken as is any hint it has. I'm not sure I follow your question - if you know the iPod, then you know the iPhone. For dialing, just use the same keyboard input you are used to; touch the numbers until you find the right one, then either tap with another finger, double tap, or lift your finger, depending on your setting.

There is, you want a thirty-pin to lightning adapter. Apple sells them, and, as with most Apple accessories, you can find them cheaper elsewhere. Be careful that the product you buy is certified by Apple, though, or you may get a warning popping up on your device each time you use the adapter. Obviously, too, non-certified adapters, cables, and chargers have the potential of hurting your device.

Re: Question about contacts
What do you mean? You can see them all in the list, though, of course, only a few at a time (there's no way to fit sixty on the iPhone's screen). Like any list of items, you can flick through them one at a time, or scroll the page by flicking three fingers up or down. You can also use the search box at the top of the list, or navigate by heading to jump from letter to letter. Finally, on the right edge of the screen, you'll find a table index that lets you flick one finger up or down to the letter you want. Touch the middle of the screen and you should find yourself on the list of contacts, centered on the chosen letter.

Re: shopping list
It's easiest on a Mac, or from www.icloud.com (though I have no idea how accessible the latter is). Basically, go to Reminders on the Mac or iCloud.com site, select the list to share, click Share, enter the Apple ID emails of the recipients, and click share. Each person will get an email with a link to confirm the sharing of the list; once they click that and enter their password, that's it, you are both sharing that list. You can share with as many people as you like.

Re: Editing part of my message
Here's the thing: VoiceOver speaks the character you pass, whereas Windows screen readers always speak the character to the left of the cursor, I believe. Let's trace an example to make this clearer: Say we have the word iPhone and, for whatever reason, we want to erase the i at the beginning of it. Change your rotor to characters, and flick up; you will be moved backward, character by character: i, n, o, h, capital p, i. VO tells you the character it passes, and because you are moving backward, it is being placed on the left of the characters is speaks. That is, if you hit delete once you reach the i, you will delete the space before the word; VO told you i as it passed the i, moving left, so the cursor is now between the space and the i. To erase that i, you'd either stop at the p, so the cursor is between it and the i, or you'd move right one character. In the latter case, VO will say i again as it once more passes the i, this time moving right. Since it spoke the i as it moved forward, you can be confident that deleting will take out the i; again, the cursor is now between the i and the p. It is very hard to get used to this system if you use Windows screen readers, but the Mac is set up the same way. Honestly, I now find it much more sensible to do things this way, and Windows gets me all confused. Apple reports the true position of the cursor (which characters it is between) rather than always the character to one side. This is closer to the way the cursor looks visually, and it is a much easier way to track where you are. It takes getting used to, but you will eventually have an 'ah ha moment and come to love this method. At least I did. :) On May 28, 2014, at 8:20 AM, isaac isaac.heb...@gmail.com wrote: Yes I am noticing that too.

True. There is a setting in iTunes and App Stores settings that lets you set the time between password entries.

Re: Editing part of my message
The rotor is the key here, if you don't have a braille or bluetooth keyboard. Rotate two fingers on the screen until you get to the increment you want (lines, words, or characters) and then flick up to move back by that increment, down to move forward. Probably the best way is to move by line to the area, then by word or character to get exactly where you want to edit. Once done, double tap once or twice until VoiceOver says insertion point at end and you're at the bottom, ready to type some more.

Re: Any comparison between android kitkat version on google phones versus Iphone devices
No, it's not safe to assume that. I recently read a top 10 accessibility wishes for Android 4.5 article, and many features were rather concerning. For example, the author hoped to one day be able to navigate text by line properly, or use the default browser, Chrome, efficiently. Android can be customized to be more accessible, but you have to find the right apps, packages, launchers, and so on to fit your needs and taste. If at all possible, get ahold of an Android device you can return, and play with it for a while, relying on Google or the Eyes-free Google email list for help. If you don't like it, you can return it. Android has its good points, but set up a try before you buy if you possibly can.

It's a good idea to know if the Bluetooth modem in the headset is on the left or on the right and then to keep your phone on the same side.

Re: Bluetooth Pairing Problem With iPod Touch and BrailleNote Apex
The following are last resorts, but they should work. They are final options because both result in removing some application data. You can get it back in both cases, and it is not personal data, but it can still be annoying. 1. Do a network settings reset. Reset the Apex and put it in bluetooth terminal mode, then leave it. On the iPod, go to settings, general, reset, reset network settings. Go through the confirmations, and let it do its thing. Once all network settings are reset, try pairing again. 2. Ram Reset the Apex. If you still have problems, do a 1-2-3 reset on the Apex. This will delete all extra programs (Dictionary, Sendero GPS, and Nemeth Tutorial). You can get them back, but you'll need to do so by re-downloading them, and the files can be quite large.

Re: aftershokz headphones
The Sport is wired with microphone, the Bluez is bluetooth with microphone. The Bluez has recently been updated to the Bluez 2, and I understand it is currently back-ordered until sometime in June. Both have play/pause an volume, I believe, though i only have personal experience with the Bluez 1 and 2. I strongly recommend you read reviews of the Bluez 2 before ordering, though, as some people (myself included) find them extremely uncomfortable to wear for very long.

Re: a couple of questions concerning blindsquare
1. I believe so; move to the spot, and you should be able to mark it. Someone with more experience should confirm this though, as I only just started using the app. 2. On the Apple EarPods, the center button is everything except volume. Press it once to play/pause, twice to move forward, and thrice to move backward. Do it quickly enough or you will just pause/play a few times; it can take a bit of practice. Incidentally, the word thrice really needs to be used more... it's so convenient!

Re: voice dream reader, changing voice
Open the book you want to give a different voice. Tap audio settings at the top, and choose the voice in there.

Re: Computer vs. I device
I strongly encourage you to not give up on it. The automagic syncing of contacts, calendars, reminders, Safari tabs and bookmarks, text expanders, and more makes the Mac a great choice for those using iOS devices. I also can't recommend www.applevis.com highly enough; if you have questions, post them in the forums and you'll usually get helpful answers quite quickly. There is also the email list I'm on: macvisionaries+subscr...@googlegroups.com. Finally, don't forget you can always use a virtual machine solution, or Bootcamp, to put Windows on the Mac if you absolutely need to. To get back on topic, I forgot to mention one other aspect of a computer over iOS: storage space. My iPhone has 16gb of space, which I could max out at 64gb if I had the money and need. However, my Mac Mini has 500gb. I can store all the music, movies, audio projects, podcasts, audio books, applications, and so forth I want to. Even if you have a new Macbook with the smaller, flash-based drives, you have more room than most iOS devices, even at the low end of the Mac line. Macs support external storage (networked or plugged in directly), with no need for special apps. yes, cloud storage can help with some of this, but what happens when the internet goes down or you run out of room? The cheapest cloud storage I know of is Google Drive, and even then, a few years of that and you could have bought a hard drive with more capacity. I understand that cloud storage offers its own advantages, and I do use it all the time. My point is simply that iOS devices and regular computers are meant for two different sets of tasks. If possible, get both, and have the best of both worlds. On May 16, 2014, at 10:55 AM, Kimber Gardner kimbersinbox1...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for these links.

Re: Computer vs. I device
Certainly, Macs are not for everyone. I say they offer more productivity because: * it's easy to assign custom keyboard shortcuts to menu items * you can type out symbols like bullet, degrees, and so on with no special characters panel or anything * there are commands to transpose two characters, delete by word and line, and more * Applescript lets you do a *lot*. For instance, a friend wanted to be able to type in a term, have his sent mail folder searched, and copy all the addresses any matching emails were sent to copied out. In 45 minutes, I wrote up a script to do exactly that. * VoiceOver includes several commanders that let you do tons of things in tons of ways, all customizable Yes, Windows has the Mac beat in other areas. Chicken Nugget is a great Twitter client, and other software from Q-continuum.net is Windows-only. Word is better in some ways and is a better choice for some people. Overall, though, it is up to the individual to do the research, talk to users of both, and figure out which is best. My feeling, though, is that anyone who needs to do a lot of typing or run desktop-only apps should not try to force an iOS device into the role of a computer. They are meant for different things, so both should be used if possible. On May 16, 2014, at 12:50 PM, Richard Turner rich...@turner42.com wrote: Alex, Thanks for the resources.

Re: A Question About on-screen Braille Keyboard Input Options
If you are not dead set on one-dot-at-a-time entry, give MBraille a shot. It is free, with an in-app purchase to fully unlock it. You enter braille one character at a time, holding the phone sideways. There is plenty about it on www.applevis.com. Aside from that, TypeInBraille is the only one I can think of: it lets you type one row at a time, not one dot, but it is close to what you are looking for. On May 16, 2014, at 5:28 PM, M. Taylor mk...@ucla.edu wrote: Hello All, Instead of using the standard on-screen iOS keyboard, I would like to try out an on-screen Braile keyboard input app. What I would like to know is if there is an input app that allows one to treat the entire portrait display as one Braille cell. That is, The upper left corner of the screen represents dot 1, the upper right corner of the screen represents dot 4, the middle left side of the screen represents dot 2, the middle right side of the screen represents dot 5, the lower left corner of the screen represents dot 3, and the lower right corner of the screen represents dot 6. In this way, the user can simply use one finger to tap/select each dot of the cell to be entered and when the correct configuration of cells is selected, the user enters the character via a swipe or something. Those of you who used the original HUmanWare Trekker Maestro PDA will recall this was the way we entered text. It was remarkably efficient and accurate.

Re: More on accessibility of The Walk
Was there an update today? I might have to just go ahead and buy the app, so I can address specific concerns with the company.

Re: air drop
Note that both devices need Airdrop. This requires iOS7, and new enough hardware. I don't remember the supported devices list off hand, but if the Control Center lacks Airdrop, chances are your device does not support it. 1. On both devices, open the Control Center and enable Airdrop by tapping the Airdrop button. Set it to everyone, unless both of you are in each others' contact lists. 2. Find the video on the initiating iPad and hit the Share button. Choose the target iPad. If it doesn't show up, be sure it is on (unlocked, or at least on the lock screen) and try again. 3. Once you tap the target iPad, the transfer will take a couple seconds to start. On the target, you will get a popup asking you to accept or reject the video; accept it, and you're done, once the data transfers.

Response from Makers of The Walk
Hi all, Turns out the response I got earlier *did* have text, it was just buried further down. Sadly, it isn't good news. Here you go: Brad Porter, May 14 04:00 PM: Hi Mehgcap, Thanks for your email! I'm afraid that, due to the heavily visual nature of The Walk, we are not currently able to make it fully accessible. As such, I cannot currently recommend that you purchase the app if you are planning to use it exclusively with VoiceOver. I'm sorry that I could not be of more assistance in this case. All the best, Brad So there you have it. I told him I'd be happy to answer questions, and if they need more feedback they should post on applevis.com. Again, please contact them if this app is something you'd be interested in using. Essentially, you have to solve a mystery, collect items, and complete levels, all done by physically walking around. You can pick up things as you move, unlock special items, and more. It sounds like a great app for those who walk with any frequency, but it is not accessible. What gets me is that this company's other app, Zombies Run, was re-designed to be accessible. As I recall, they made a big deal about it, and even posted a blog all about what they learned while adding Voiceover compatibility. ZR is also visual, yet it is usable and this new app is not? Had they said it is being worked on, or planned for a future upgrade, i'd be okay. But to basically say it isn't an option is beyond the pale for me. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

The Walk?
Hi all, Zombies, Run is a great app for joggers, and the company made it fully accessible. Their new app, The Walk, is a similar idea (a game based on your movement) that uses walking instead of running. It was released with not much accessibility, but that was a while ago. Does anyone know if it is now accessible? It is on sale right now, and I wondered if it is worth buying. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: The Walk?
Okay, thanks for the confirmation. The company told me when it first came out that it was not currently accessible, but that they'd be working on that. I have emailed them to ask about the progress and to remind them, and will share anything I hear with the list. My sister, who can see well enough to not use VO most of the time, downloaded the app. I tried it briefly, and was able to get around, but did not try any actual playing, just navigating the main screens.

Re: Instapaper in Voice Dream not working so well
Ture, but when something says it syncs, that means to me that it will delete from its own database if something was deleted from the master database. I only refreshed Instapaper a few times, and didn't realize this was happening as I also do a lot of reading in the actual Instapaper app, so these tons of articles appeared rather suddenly.

Re: Instapaper in Voice Dream not working so well

Re: Refreshabraille 1i
I used one for a couple weeks. It is a very solid display and it worked just fine for me. My two complaints are that the charging port is really, really awkward to get to, and the keys are not at all comfortable to type on. If you want to bang out a text or Facebook update, it's fine, but if you plan to use it for longer text entry, consider a different unit. One cool thing is that you can flip it, so the keys can be above or below the display. The braille can be told to flip over, so it will display properly for either orientation.

Best Buy Offering Crazy Discounts on iPhone5S/5C, Gift Cards for Old iPhones
Hi all, First, I'm sorry, but this is only Best Buy, so is probably only for the United States. Best Buy is offering insane deals right now: an iPhone5 gets you a $200 gift card, a 4S $150, and a 4 $100. Then you can get a new 5S for $100, or a 5C for $50! When we went today, my sister did this, and she got an additional $15 for the phone charger, plus $35 for renewing her Verizon contract. She got rid of the iPhone4, and walked out with an iPhone5S an Otterbox Defender case, having paid $8! If you're not holding out for the iPhone6 this fall, and you have an upgrade with Verizon or the other one Best Buy supports (Sprint, I think) take this opportunity! It only lasts until Sunday, though. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: RSS Syncing
Newsify impressed me so little that I only used it for a couple days. Lire just makes more sense to me, and speaks the sync status. It also lets you customize what information is spoken in different lists, something I've never seen in another ap. Basically, the dev goes out of his way to make it super friendly to VO, and he is usually really good about answering questions. Applevis might have more details on both apps, but I don't recall Newsify enough to do it justice.

Voice Dream Reader is currently half off ($4.99)
Hi all, Voice Dream Reader, the hands-down best app for reading unprotected books and documents, is currently half off ($4.99). It comes with a ton of voices to purchase, including A Capella ($1.99 each), Neospeech ($2.99 each), and Ivona ($4.99 each). So, you can currently buy the app and your favorite Ivona voice for as much as the app itself normally costs. VDR reads Epub, PDF, Word, RTF, Daisy (text and audio), and MP3 audio books. It also includes themes, word highlighting, fonts, and other features for low-vision or learning-disabled users,supports remotes for controlling playback, reads while the screen is locked, integrates directly with Bookshare, Google Drive, Dropbox, Instapaper, and more. It's just a wonderful app if you need to read books (again, unprotected - it can't read iBooks or Kindle books, anything with DRM, as that would be illegal). -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: braille and IOS
Each display has special buttons - thumbkeys, joysticks, rockers, wheels, and so on. They do different things, and that link should have links to each supported display where you can see what each special control does. Also, space-k enters help mode, the same as a four-finger double tap. Use that to play with keys and things to see what they do, without actually issuing any commands. Space-b exits this mode. Also, don't forget about www.applevis.com; there are several forum topics and guides on braille with iOS I highly recommend you read.

Re: configuring VO to work with Google services?
Nothing in VO is misconfigured, this is just Google not being accessible. There is nothing you can do, aside from labeling buttons, to help the app work better.

Re: slightly OT : iOS simple filesystem management
You're thinking about iOS in the context of Android. The two are different, and take very different approaches to file management. Where Android lets apps talk freely, access the same file system, and so on, iOS sandboxes them. Say you have two Daisy players. You can't download one copy of a book and let both apps open it, each app needs its own copy of the book. There is no common file storage beyond the music/movie library, which is tightly controlled and encrypted. Consequently, root privileges would do no good, since no app can go outside of its sandbox no matter what. Each app can manage its own files, but no apps can manage common files. If I need a way to sort random files into folders, I use Dropbox. It's accessible, free, and syncs over the internet so I can access that same folder structure online or on any other iOS, Android, OS X, or Windows device I happen to have. Aside from that, I give each app the file(s) that it makes sense to give that app, and keep masters on my computer in case I need to use the files for something else. Apple is pushing for a lack of folder structure, between iCloud syncing and its use of file tagsin the latest OS X release, so the lack of a user-accessible file system, aside from being a huge part of iOS' top-notch security, makes sense from the Apple perspective.

Re: configuring VO to work with Google services?
Accessibility is implemented very, very differently on iOS than it is on Android. Just because it works on one does not say anything about the other. Behind the scenes, the Android and iOS apps, though they do the same thing for you the user, are two different projects, in two different places, likely run by two different teams at Google.

Re: Fleksy Now Fully Accessible
To the person having trouble hearing completed words, auto-speaking may be off. Go into the settings (at the top of the screen) and make sure everything is configured the way you want. As others have said, you must swipe on the keyboard itself, since that is the part of the screen where VoiceOver is instructed to ignore all gestures. In Fleksy VO this area was the entire screen, but now it is only the bottom half. As to a campaign to keep Fleksy VO around, that would be a step backwards, i feel. Fleksy has always said that that app was a stopgap measure while they fixed the main one, and when they made it, it caused a lot of backlash. The idea has always been to combine the two apps back into one, and this is their first stab at doing so. As others have said, it has problems, but it is the first version and Fleksy knows there is work to be done. The goal remains a unified app for everyone, as it should. After all, keep in mind that what this app does is what any apps that integrate Fleksy will do, so if they never made the main app accessible, Blindsquare, Tweetings, and all the other apps that offer Fleksy as a keyboard would not have an accessible typing experience either.

The app simply doesn't work so releasing a message with the subject line of Fleksy Now Fully Accessible is more than a little misleading. And the documentation still has the reference about accessing the menu using the two-finger swipe up. I think it's clear why they seem to be a few months ahead of when they thought the product would be ready because it's not. I truly hope they will leave Fleksy VO untouched and available until they come up with a product that meets their keyboard integration needs and does so with VoiceOver running.

Re: iPhone 5C
One other thing to consider is upgradeability. Even if the 5C will do fine for you for now, if you hold onto your phone for a while, how will that 5C be in a few years? iPhone 4 and 4S owners often complain of battery drain and sluggishness with iOS7, while iPhone5 and 5S owners are okay for the most part.

Re: Noticed a fix with the BARD Mobile app and iOS 7.1.1
I don't follow. The play/pause button is standard, requiring a single-finger double tap just as all buttons do. That is not related to the two-finger double tap (or magic tap) or to headset controls. In fact, if physical impairments were a concern, NLS should have made sure to support remote controls so that a single button, on a speaker, dock, or headset, could control audio.

Re: screen cover
The Speed Dots tactile screen protectors are the ones. I've seen them, but I don't use one personally. Every app is laid out differently, so while it is true that you do get tactile reference points, they can often change what they reference depending on the app you have open. I found it just as easy to remember where things are on the screen and rely on speech or braille. That said, if you are in a noisy area, they might prove useful, but then if you can't hear the speech telling you what's on the screen, how will you hear the voice telling you the result of any action?

Re: iPhone 5C
Yes, as are all iPhones. However, I strongly encourage you to wait until the end of the year, so you can get a much better phone than a 4S. If the past is any indication, after the iPhone6 model(s) hit, you will be able to get a 5 for free, or a 5S for $100 with contract. The 5 and later are a big step up in terms of power and speed from the 4S, so if possible hold off for now. Just my opinion of course.

Re: screen cover
Penny, do you use it mostly for typing? I'm asking because I'm wondering about other typing methods. If someone normally uses a mix of dictation and Fleksy, for instance, would they still benefit? Do you find the reference dots for the keyboard help your orient to other apps, even if those apps' buttons aren't necessarily right under the reference dots?

Re: screen cover
Cases are optional, though everyone I know uses one. That said, some cases offer their own screen protectors, while others do not, and I don't know if you can use a Speed Dots protector over a built-in one.

Fleksy Now Fully Accessible
Hi all, Sorry if this is a repeat post, but earlier today, Fleksy announced that their main app is accessible. There are still some VO issues they are working on, but they say that, overall, VO users can use the regular app and not need Fleksy VO anymore. This is way ahead of their projected six month deadline, so good for them for getting this done so quickly. Best of all, the accessibility carries over to their SDK, so apps that incorporate Fleksy will have accessible typing as well, once they update to the latest version. Of course, apps that come onboard after today will already have the accessibility. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Fleksy Now Fully Accessible
Moving forward, Fleksy VO will be discontinued.

Re: Fleksy Now Fully Accessible
First, the menu isn't accessed that way. Instead, there are buttons across the top of the screen to access the settings and sharing functions. Second, note that the keyboard now takes up the lower part of the screen, just like it does in regular iOS typing. I'm wondering if your accuracy problems are due to this new position; I have no accuracy issues at all. The problems I've found are that you cannot review your text, at least not that I've found, and the numbers keyboard is rather awkward to use since it is not the keypad shape anymore. As I said, though, this is the initial release of the new Fleksy app with accessibility, and it will only get better from here, I hope. On Apr 29, 2014, at 6:13 PM, Chuck Dean cadean...@gmail.com wrote: I agree... This version of Fleksy doesn't play with voice over very well. It is also sluggish and the accuracy seems to have decreased. I prefer to lock Fleksy VO in landscape position so I can use my thumbs to type, but I cannot find this option in the newer update. It seems that the people at Fleksy have forgotten their original mission... To bring a accessible keyboard to the visually impaired. As of late they have changed their focus to supplying a keyboard to the masses. Too bad. I will continue to use Fleksy VO until my iPhone will no longer work with it, then I guess I'll go back to dictation. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

When I upgraded and launched this latest Fleksy keyboard version, the text from the last thing I had written with it was on the screen and I was unable to delete it or to get to the Fleksy menu normally accessed by swiping up with two fingers.
