  Subject: RE: unable to use any of my bluetooth devices with my iPhone

  I recently purchased a Focus Blue Notetaker which for the past three weeks 
has happily acted as a braille display for my computer and iPhone.

  But I seem to have inadvertently upset the settings and at the moment, none 
of my Bluetooth headphones will work on the iPhone. I can see the devices 
listed in Bluetooth in settings but it tells me that none of them are 
available, only my Focus Blue Notetaker.

  I have now deleted the Focus Blue in my iPhone’s settings and also in the 
Focus Blue’s Connectivity settings itself, but still, my Bluetooth devices 
refuse to work on my iPhone.

  I am tempted to remove everything and then re-install them but does anyone 
have any other ideas?

  Subject: T-Mobile Phone Number.

  Hello Everyone, 

  Would someone who uses T-Mobile as their phone carrier give me a phone number 
to call them for tech support? 

  I just called them, and the rep who I talked to said T-Mobile has been having 
a problem on their end regarding the same issue I am having.  

  The rep also said he can set up my voice mail greeting, but I can do that 
myself, and he said he can get the voice mail messages back.  

  So the rep told me to dial some numbers, and I did, but we then got 
disconnected, and it is a 30 minute wait to have to call them back.  

  The rep also said it is best if I call them from another phone though, so I 
gave him my Magic Jack number, and he said that call isn’t going through, I 
didn’t even hear my phone ring.  

  So, again I am trying to get in touch with them without having to spend the 
entire day on hold waiting for someone to pick up.  

  Any thoughts or phone numbers, I would greatly appreciate it.  

  Janet 

  I thought their number to call them from the phone was 611.  

  The number I am now calling them is

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing.

I am delighted to report that last week's rain storms did not cause
any further damage to my property so that is a good thing.

Given the weather patterns here in the golden state, I have come to
realize that the native Apple weather app is not the most accurate.
So, based on the recommendation of several contractors who will be
helping me get my property back in order, I started using the NOA
website for my local precipitation predictions.

NOA stands for:  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

You can get your local forecast, online, by entering your Zip Code at
http://www.weather.gov.

In the US, virtually every app and news outlet uses NOA for their
weather forecasts.

Two things to note, here:
1.
If one is willing to drill down a bit, one can find the same NOA info
from within the native Apple weather app but, unless one understands
how the data is formatted, I do not think the info is easily
understandable.
2.
While the Weather Channel app for iOS reflects the most accurate NOA
data, astonishing  as it is for me to believe, future casts are, in
effect, inaccessible via VoiceOver.  I mean, you can hear the data but
unless you can see the display, you would be hard-pressed to have VO
locate it.  I would think that, after all these years, the Weather
Channel app would be the best app for iOS; and yet, it is not.  If any
of you have any recommendations for free weather apps I could try, let me
know.

Okay, moving on:

A while back, people were asking about online dating apps.  Using a
couple of these apps, I have gone on more than a few dates, with
different women, recently; while not easy, these dating sites can work in
meeting someone.
It just takes patience and perseverance; so to those of you seeking
someone special, hang in there and do not give up.

Okay, onto Amazon / Audible news:
So, 3 years ago, I purchased a Whisper Sync title in both Kindle and
Audible format, at the same time, from Amazon.

Long story short, I could not download the Kindle audible companion of
the book last week.  Now the Audible audio format of the title would
play just fine.

It took almost an hour to reach someone at Kindle support who said she
would refund my money for the Audible version of the title if I could
find the Audible purchase order number.  She could see the Kindle
order purchase number but she could not see the order number
confirming that I had purchased the Audible version.

Even with her help and patience, we could not locate the order number
confirming my Audible purchase in my Amazon Library.  Just before
giving up, I realized that I keep every confirmation email I receive
from Amazon in an email folder.

It took about 15 more minutes but I was able to locate the number and
when I gave it to her, she was able to see that I had, in fact,
purchased the Audible version.

So, she refunded my money.  At the time I purchased the title, the
cost was $7.99.  However, the cost of that same title, today is
$25.99.  So, she refunded the $25.99 as that is the replacement cost
of the title.  I waited a few days, just to make certain that I
received the refund then I purchased the title, again.

My point?  Always keep every email confirmation you receive from
Amazon because you never know when you may need it.

Okay, I think that about covers it, for now.

I hope this finds you well and I look forward to your replies.

Mark

  If it changes after a while this would indicate that a schedul emay be in

well for people who have a regular routine, e.g. they get up at the same time 
each day, leave for work the same time, come home around the same time etc. I 
have two smart thermostats controlling the two heat pumps/gas furnaces which 
heat my retail store and in this situation a schedule is great because from 
Monday to Saturday we open each day at 9 AM and close at 6 PM so we usually set 
the heat to turn down around 5:30 PM and go up again at 8:30 AM.

  But at home I don't have any use for a schedule so it's not set up and this 
way the temperature is where I set it until I change it.

had to switch my Outlook-365 Verizon account from POP to IMAP. This means that, 
unfortunately, my emails are no longer deleted from the server after I download

that when I delete an email on my phone or desktop, it’s also somehow deleted

Hello Everyone,

Okay, I asked, a couple of years ago but, as you know, much can change in
that amount of time so:

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, stand-alone, Bible app for 
iOS
that, hopefully, can display different versions of the Holy Bible?  The 
app

does not have to be free.

I am thinking that I will read it, primarily, with a Braille display.

If there are no stand-alone apps, that you can recommend, then a web-based
app will do, as long as it is easily accessible via VoiceOver / a Braille
display.

All replies greatly appreciated.

Uber Eats App Accessibility issue

2023-12-04 Thread Andy Baracco

Traditionally i have always found the Uber Eats app to be accessible, but the 
app has gone through changes and i think that is changing.
Today i attempted to place an order for McDonald's.
I am using an iPhone SE 3rd generation with IOS 17.1.1.
I notice that the spin boxes to change the quantity of items do not work.
If the default for an item is 1, it stays at 1 no matter what you do.
If the default is 0, like for something being added that is not a default, the 
quantity stays at 0 no matter what you do.

  Hi Jim and all, if you have a device, that's already signed into Google. If 
you go onto your account options, and go in and turn off two step verification, 
this will fix the problem you're having.

Hi everyone,

Here’s an interesting issue I’m not able to work around, and I’ve tried a 
few things.

I upgraded to the new iPhone 15 Pro at the end of September, and I really 
like how it’s working. 

I tried signing into YouTube TV on my app. I had to sign into my google 
account. When I entered my password, it went to a new Two-step Authentication 
process, which doesn’t seem to work at all. It told me to open the google app 
and tap “yes” on a message that would pop up. I also noticed that if I told it 
to “re-send”, the button was unavailable. That’s what VoiceOver said.\

There was nothing in the google app when I opened itup. Then again, I 
hadn’t signed into my google account there yet. I thought perhaps it would work 
better if I actually signed into my google account on the google app. It did 
the same thing. I was signing up, and it told me to open my google app and tap 
something there. It’s weird and hard to open an app that you’re already trying 
to sign into for a two-step authentication.

Now, in the two-step process, there was another option to get the code or 
message a different way, so I tried doing that and choosing to get a 
verification code by text via my phone. However, I was told that the option was 
unavailable because there were stronger ways of signing in, and it basically 
took me back to getting the message from the actual Google app.

Oh, I also tried signing into Google using Safari, and it gave me the same 
message about opening the Google app and tapping on something in that message.

So basically, I’m not able to sign into any of my Google apps on my new 
phone because of this two-step process. I wouldn’t mind the process, but I need 
to actually get into what they want.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help or advice.

Re: Pro vs Max

The reason I stick with the smaller model is that it fits where I need it to

our largest competitors combined.
  Apple CarPlay audio apps must be voice-activated and offer audio capabilities 
only, which is exactly what our app does. With the exception of navigation 
apps, content such as weather maps and radar are currently prohibited from 
being displayed as content on the dashboard. We are focused on creating the 
best hands-free audio experience in vehicles in accordance with Apple 
CarPlay guidelines.
  Although our expertise is audio, we are meteorologists, so we offer all the 
tools you need to stay informed. Up-to-the-minute radar that loads quickly and 
zooms in to your specific location. Storm vectors that illustrate current storm 
location and storm movement.
  We offer current weather advisory graphics with up-to-the-minute audio 
weather details for each bulletin.
  Hourly and 7-day forecast displays.
  Weather conditions from around the world.
  With Apple CarPlay, Weatherology provides a hands-free, safe way to get the 
latest weather in your car.
  At home, have a real meteorologist provide your forecast with details for 
your location unmatched by synthetic voices currently available through Smart 
Speakers.
  Automobile safety is priority number one and our app is the only weather app 
that discourages distractions in your vehicle.

  As of version 7.9, the Forecasts are fully accessible with VoiceOver. The app 
will continue to improve VoiceOver accessibility across the app.

a.. To access Siri, long press the lock button.
b.. To get to the App Switcher, start at the bottom of the screen and slide 
up until you feel the third vibration. Two vibrations will get you to the home 
screen and three vibrations will get you the App Switcher.
c.. To stop and restart VoiceOver, use a triple press of the lock button.

  Subject: getting guidance while in an Uber

  Hi,

  Usually when I’m in an Uber or Lyft, the driver has audio guidance on and I 
can hear where we are, allowing me to feel like I know we’re going the way we 
should be. The other  night, I had a situation  where the driver did not have 
the audio on and we went a very different way than I’m used to. My sighted 
daughter was with me and she told me the road. I then opened Apple Maps and I 
could see that we were on that major road I knew. My daughter could also see 
the driver’s GPS and where he was being directed to turn. So, my question is, 
if I already have Uber or Lyft open, what other app makes sense to run to keep 
tabs on where we are?  Is just having Apple Maps open what you do or do you 
recommend something else?  I might have used soundscape in the past. I have 
BlindSquare, but I need to get in better practice of adjusting settings. In 
this case, I just wanted to know which road we were on and cross streets so 
that I knew if my safety was at risk.  

  Thoughts appreciated.

  hi,

  Apple purchased Dark Sky years ago. the built-in iOS weather app got a major 
update with iOS thirteen, in which it ganed much better functionality. it works 
well. I have another weather app, Weathergods, which works well. it has savare 
storm threats, andf the neet thing about it is it has the ability for you to 
hear the weather. the sounds it has have a tutorial to know what they all mean. 
it works well with VoiceOver, and the developer is extreamly responsive to 
requests posted on AppleVis  for VoiceOver feedback and suggestions. 
WeatherOffice is also quire good. I don’t use it much, but i bought it to test 
it out, and it is good.

After reading Jenny’s post, I used the mute hardware switch when the phone

1.
When the phone is unlocked, Voiceover performs as expected.

2.
However, when the phone is locked, regardless of the state of the switch 
when the phone was unlocked, VoiceOver says, “Unmuted.”

Hi,

Mine is strange. When my phone is unlocked, it will announce muted or

whatever it was on before I locked the phone. So, if my phone was on muted, 
the phone will say muted even when I flick the switch up. When I unlock it 
again, all is well.

I found this most interesting. I think it started in iOS 16, but maybe not. 
If I move the switch on the side of the phone, either way VoiceOver says 
"unmuted." It does this on n XS, a 12 Pro Max and a 14 Pro Max.
However, even though VO says "unmuted" for both positions, the phone sounds 
are definitely muted when the switched is moved to the back of the phone, 
and restored when moved to the front. Anyone else ever notice this?

  Hello,

  I have an IPhone 8 & am current on IOS.  Ever since updating IOS, I 
frequently get an odd response when I ask Ciri to call someone in my contacts 
list.  I will say call person X & she will say what do you want to know about 
person X.  This may happen several times before I give up & open the contact to 
tap on the phone # to call them.  Even funnier, I have a sister-in-law named 
Mickie who is on my VIP contact list & is my ICE contact.  Today when I asked 
Ciri to call her I got a web site telling me who Mickey Mouse was.  This 
happened a couple of times.  I obviously have tried speaking very clearly to no 
avail.  It is not the end of the world to have to open the contacts to make a 
call but I’d rather have the convenience of just saying call person.  Is anyone 
else having this problem?

  Thanks,

Hello Everyone,

Question:  Has anyone got the CVS Spoken Rx feature working?

The day after I posted the podcast transcription to the group, I went to 
my favorite local CVS pharmacy and informed the head pharmacist that I 
wanted to be enrolled in the Spoken Rx program.

He told me that he had attended the training sessions on this and that he 
would enroll me in the program.  I was heartened to learn that two other 
CVS customers had also recently made such a request.

A couple of days later, I received an SMS that my prescription starting 
with the letter "S" was ready for pickup.  This baffled me as SMS 
notifications always include the first 3 letters of a medication name, 
not just one.

When I arrived at the store, I was told that the Spoken Rx reader had 
arrived and was ready for pickup.

This surprised me as my pharmacist and I had already discussed the fact 
that I would be using my iPhone to read the prescriptions.  Be that as it 
may, given that it would cause a bit of a pain for him to return the 
reader,  I accepted the reader.

Now, at this point both he and I are under the impression that he is to 
receive some kind of tags that he and his team can affix to my meds in 
order that either the CVS app or the dedicated reader can voice.

Is this correct?

He is still waiting on some feedback from his regional manager as to how 
to proceed.

As for me, I am just wondering if an actual special tag is required in 
order to hear the medication info.

One thing I learned from my pharmacist, and had confirmed by a pharmacist 
at a neighboring location, is that not everything CVS advertises is as 
accurate as the CVS public relations department would have you believe.

So, any feedback you can contribute as to your CVS Spoken Rx experience, 
thus far, would be greatly appreciated.

Interestingly, the article did not mention the battery on the iPhone SE 
second and third generation. I recently upgraded from the iPhone 10R to the 
Iphone SE third generation. It has the same processor as the Iphone 13, I 
definitely think this phone fits better in the pocket, it looks exactly like 
the Iphone 8, one common thing that is mentioned in reviews of this phone is 
the shorter battery life and I agree with that, the battery definitely goes 
faster than it did in my 10R. Fortunately there is a great solution for 
that, Mophie still makes a juice pack battery case for this phone and it 
doubles the battery life so I have the best of both worlds, a nice pocket 
form factor and great battery life, for anyone looking to upgrade their 
Iphone, I would give the Iphone SE some consideration, I love mine.

iPhone battery capacities compared: all iPhones battery life in mAh and Wh

Here we list and explain the battery capacities of every iPhone from 2007’s
original iPhone to the very latest iPhone 14 series.
Measuring iPhone battery life in straight hours of real-world usage (as
Apple likes to do) is not an accurate metric for comparison purposes as so
many use and environmental factors play a part.
We can, however, rely on straight technical specifications to tell us the
battery capacities of each iPhone.

Apple is notoriously secretive about these battery specifications, mainly
because smartphones from rivals such as Samsung boast much larger battery
capacities.
These are measured in either Milliamp Hours (mAh) or Watt Hours (Wh).
Milliamp hours are a measure of electrical charge, while a watt-hour is
equal to one watt of energy consumed for one hour of time. And it is 
energy

consumed that matters when we’re measuring actual battery life.

Wh is a more accurate and consistent way to compare the total amount of
energy that similar types of batteries can store.
And it’s all about the battery voltage, which mAh ignores, which 
determines

the wattage (power) of a battery.

If the mAh is the same, the higher the voltage, the greater the actual
stored power.
Volts (V) are a measure of electric pressure. Amps (A) are a measure of
current. Multiply V x A and you get Watts (W) that are a measure of power.
So V × A = W.
You can convert watt hours (Wh) to milliamp hours (mAh) using this 
formula:

(Wh x 1,000) divided by V = mAh.

The lithium batteries that power most portable electronics have a voltage 
of

about 3.6V, but some external battery packs (such as Apple’s 7.62V MagSafe
Battery Pack) boast a higher voltage, which means they actually carry more
power than their mAh implies.

Here we list the battery capacity of every iPhone ever released in both 
mAh

and Wh.

The purpose of the C wire is to provide power.  Some units will allow for 
the use of batteries to provide this power. it appears that this is the case

Hello Chris,

This particular thermostat has a terminal for a grounding wire but I do not 
know if one is required.  I think not.


While not wanting to get off-point, I will  say that I  suspect that many 
thermostats, in order to be widely compatible, allow for a great many 
installation options.


For example, in the setup manual, for this model, it instructs the installer 
to insert 2 batteries into the unit before attaching it to the bass, that 
should already be mounted onto the wall.  However, this unit, has a 
terminal, on the back, for a power cable.  It's not actually called a power 
cable but I cannot remember the actual name of the cable.   if one has such 
a cable already built into the house, as does mine, then batteries are not 
necessary.


I had a professional installer switch out my old thermostat for the new one. 
He did it in seconds and did not need to read the installation setup guide. 
These setup guys are written for the non-professional user, in most cases.

Hello James and Everyone,

I purchased the Sensi model st55 Smart Thermostat 2 days ago and had it 
installed early this morning.


In a word, it is amazing.  The physical buttons are easy-to-use and allow 
for complete use of the thermostat just as was my old unit.


I did not configure the wireless settings until late this evening because 
the buttons work so well.


However, I now have the device setup to work with either Alexa or Siri. 
And of course, one can use the Sensi app which is remarkably VoiceOver 
accessible.


Now I will tell you that the Apple Home Kit setup was a thousand times 
easier than was Amazon Alexa.  In fact, for the first time, I was truly 
disappointed with Alexa because, in my opinion, not only would a blind or 
low vision person be hard pressed to configure the unit without sighted 
assistance, but the process is unintuitive and convoluted.  In addition, 
at the time of this writing, one cannot setup Alexa with the device until 
one uses the Sensi app to create an external account, etc.  Ridiculous.


Apple Home Kit, on the other hand,  was fast, simple, and could easily be 
configured by a totally blind person as long as the person had the 
security code which is included on a sheet of paper located inside the 
package.  The best part?  One does not need to install the third-party 
Sensi app in order to be up and running in minutes.


I have decided to use Siri to run the thermostat as doing so is intuitive 
and works flawlessly from all of my Apple devices including my Apple 
Watch.


I think the Sensi people must love Apple because, if one did not want to 
configure Home Kit, manually, to work with the device, one only has to 
point iPhone camera to a QR code located in the packaging which 
automatically launches Home Kit and begins the configuration process. 
Most impressive, to say the least.


While I love Alexa, this round definitely goes to Siri.

Thank you all for your contribution to this thread and, like James, I 
definitely recommend this $80 unit to anyone who is in the market for a 
new thermostat, WiFi enabled or not.

Re: Charging Your New Phone, Anyone?

2022-12-27 Thread Andy Baracco

I believe that the old advice you are referring to was in regard to NiCad 
batteries, which for the most part are no longer in use. The Lithium Ion 
batteries used today are much more forgiving, and as far as I know, will not 
be damaged by staying on a charger.
Also, the chargers used today are smarter, in that they contain a chip that 
will stop current when the battery reaches a full charge.
If you touch your Apple charging brick while it is charging, it feels very 
warm, but after the charge is complete it is cold. This is because it is no 
longer passing current to the battery.

Hello All,

Okay, based on my research I cannot find any Apple articles that 
discouraged

leaving an iPhone 14 on a charger, when not in use.

You old-timers will recall that, once upon a time, it was recommended that
one not leave a phone on a charger, when not in use, full-time.  It was
thought that doing so would shorten the life of the battery.

I found an Apple community thread that discusses this and the conclusion 
is

that leaving a 14 attached to a charger, when not in use, will, in no way
damage or shorten the life of the battery.

Question:  Does anyone have any credible statements / sources to the
contrary?  If so, please post them as this can make a difference to the 
life

of the battery, in the long run.

Unlike in the past, I want to consider all aspects of keeping my iPhone
battery healthy from the very beginning.

All replies greatly appreciated.

Hi Mark,

I have a Honeywell thermostat, which I access via Alexa to perform basic 
functions.  Yes, I had to register with Honeywell and/or Total Connect 
Comfort (TCC), but I don't recall the process being difficult.  I've had 
this thermostat for several years, and only recently discovered it could be 
accessed via Alexa.  The process of connecting Alexa to the device was easy 
as I recall.

The thermostat can be accessed via the TCC app, which is very accessible via 
voiceover.  When I first got the thermostat years ago, before I found out 
about the app, JAWS had trouble accessing all features (e.g. programming the 
device), so I relied on sighted help.  However, JAWS had no problem at all 
with the website when I tried a year or so ago.  Rarely go to the website 
though as the TCC app is great for programming, etc.  And, again Alexa does 
a great job with the basics like ID of indoor temperature, changing the 
temperature, etc.

Hello Everyone,

Okay, I know that I have asked this question before but, now that I must buy
a new thermostat for my home, within the next week or so, as my 32 year old
model is starting to fail on a virtually daily basis, what Alexa compatible
thermostat do you either recommend and / or are currently using?

I am aware of the Nest brand models; I thought they were Google-only models
but I think they also can work with Alexa, right?  Does anyone have any
experience with Nest / Alexa compatibility?

Also, I know that Honeywell makes Alexa models but, from what I have read on
the web, today, one must setup an online account with Honeywell before the
device can be used with Alexa.  That sounds like a lot of trouble to me;
maybe.

The only thing I know for certain is that I want a model that will work with
Amazon Alexa, out of the box, because I do not want to use a third-party
app, is I can avoid doing so.

I have come to trust the Alexa app for iOS and iPad OS.

  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 for 
my former average usage?

Can you ask Siri to turn VoiceOver on?

If it says VoiceOver is already on, then try a three finger double tap to

Looks like it's not supported then. I was under the impression that it was. 
I think my old airpods used to show there. My current airpods pro 2 show 
under the batteries section. Another cool thing about airpods pro 2 is that 
they have a speaker on the case so when they are put to charge, they make a 
sound. Additionally, you can ping the case. Just an FYI

Re: NFL audio

I start by tapping on the scores tab.  i find the game I am interested in, and 
tap on it.  if I want to change the feed I then tap on the watch tab, and the 
various feeds are displayed. I then tap on the one i want.  This method works 
reliably and I can listen to the game and feed that i desire.
I believe that the procedure for playing games that have already ended is the 
same.

What I do with NFL Plus is to tap on the Scores tab, find the game I want to

you can select your feed there. Keep in mind that you may not hear audio at

Re: NFL audio

2022-11-24 Thread Andy Baracco

It seemed to me that the app acted differently after the trial period ended.  I 
think after the trial period ends it begins to learn your preferences, because 
when I entered the Games tab the 49er game would be the first choice. As I said 
previously, I have not tried to access the other functions such as playing a 
past game, etc.

access to the audio player, so you can’t pause, fast forward or rewind the 
audio.

Yes, they have the full audio and sound effects, minus the description

Apparently, if you want to buy the video, with full audio including audio 
description, you need to buy it through Prime.
I personally am fine with just the free MP3 with no video but all the 
sounds plus audio description.  My wife who is sighted, isn't a big fan of 
Sci-Fi.

Wow!

I am so surprised given that the audio track is included on Amazon Prime 
Video.

Given that the show was produced at the Amazon Studios, I guess I should 
not be too surprised, at that.

Like all of my other television series purchases from iTunes, I probably 
wouldn't let the lack of an audio track stop me from purchasing the show 
but if I can get the same episodes, at the same price, with audio

If you want to delete more than 1 message flick to "More" on the first one, 
then double tap, now find the next message to be deleted and double tap on it

I am pleased with Apple weather, and I get sunrise and sunset and can get 
hourly stuff; can't remember if temperature, but maybe, plus rain or not 
hourly and ten-day forecast.

I never cared for Weather Gods. I tried it. I never understood why it was so 
dang popular. Smile. The weather app from Apple and iOS 16 apparently has 
taken a lot of the things from dark sky and is now quite good. I just read 
an article about it. Since I have not updated to 16 yet, I cannot comment 
from personal experience, but that’s where I’m going. Otherwise, I like 
WeatherOffice, because it is simple. And it gives you nice little summaries 
like you used to get on the radio news, for anybody old enough to remember 
that.

I am looking for an app that is accessible of course but also gives hourly

times.

If anyone knows of such an app I sure would appreciate hearing about it.

  Try Weather Gods.  It does have audio feedback, i.e. various rain and/or wind 
sounds, but it is completely customizable.  I'm not sure how the payment 
structure is now, I originally paid about $4 for the app three years ago, but 
now there are various subscription options.  The author is very responsive to 
feedback and suggestions from VO users and any access issue is corrected in a 
following release of the app.

Re: iphone app to check blood pressure

2022-09-17 Thread Andy Baracco


I got a talking unit from Amazon for $29.95.
i do not recall the brand, but it is a traditional cabled unit, no 
connectivity with smart devices. It talks you through the entire process and 
speaks the BP, pulse, and tells you the category of the reading, i. e. low, 
normal, mild, moderate, or severe hypertension. You can store readings 
within the device, and even get an average over time, but there is no way to 
export the information.

Well worth the money though.

just search on Amazon for talking blood pressure monitor.

Are you kidding me I'd love that! Seriously I'd love that! Have you
ever experienced a blood pressure cuff that squeezed again before it
had even completely let up because there was an error like you had it
too low on your arm or something? That's happened to me numerous
times, but the last time it did that, it squeezed so hard and it
seemed to take a long time before it stopped, and I don't think it's
considered claustrophobia because when you're claustrophobic, you feel
scared in a confined space, but I felt like I would never get my arm
out ever again. I got so scared my mom had to come over and press on
the power button I guess it is, so the air would go out and the cuff
would let up. If there would be an app, that would be fantastic! Please, 
let me know! Thanks.

  Hi.

  There is no Paul voice in Eloquence. I looked in both JAWS and Voiceover 
under Eloquence, and it’s not there.

  If you’re thinking of Perfect Paul, that’s from good old Dec Talk. I do wish 
that were available, but it’s not. Remember another Dec Talk voice called 
Uppity Cruella? I remember that one as well.

You speak, as if eloquence is one voice. When I went into eloquence, it was 
a lot of different voices, including grandma and grandpa. I could not find any 
voice in there that was as clear as Tom or Samantha. Some other Siri voices are 
very good also. I was hoping that perhaps eloquence would have Paul. It’s been 
so long since I was on a Windows machine, and when I used jaws, there was a 
Paul. Maybe he’s another name now. None of them sound very good on the phone, 
though. I finally went back to Tom enhanced. Closest to Paul I can find. If 
anyone has any ideas on which eloquence  is good let me know. Thanks.

Sometimes when I launch the NFB newsline Mobile app, I get a vibration and

is there a way to do this in the app, or is it just telling you that there is

Be careful with those.  I spent $70 for a version of office, and I never could

I eventually got my money back.
They get these licenses from dead PCs generally when businesses upgrade their

  In terms of price, you can either continue to buy full versions as new major 
versions are released, pay for a subscription and not worry about updates, or 
pay for a full version and not bother with updates until you have no choice. 
When I consider the full price, at the end of the day, you will likely pay a 
similar price. If you can get a discount on the full version and guarantee that 
that will always be the case for future versions, then by all means, do that. 
For those on a very fixed income, the monthly cost provides the lowest up-front 
payment. So it's all about options.

Hello Dennis,

 

I recommend buying Office365 subscription, as this will give you access to 
the desktop and web apps, and it will mean that, under the subscription, you 
won't have to worry about buying a new version of Office every time the new one 
gets released. You can compare plans at 
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/buy/compare-all-microsoft-365-products?tab=1=en-us=US

 

Note that you can buy plans at a yearly discounted rate, or for some, it 
may be easier to swallow the monthly subscription price. The individual 
subscription for just one person and machine is $69/year or $6.99/month, and 
the premium for multiple machines is $99/year or $9.99/month.

 

While you can find full versions of Office at a discounted rate, you will 
have to keep purchasing new versions or fall behind on updates, so I really 
don't recommend it.

That was my experience except that for some reason I could not get the game

i couldn't choose my team either, and was given the Rams because the app

I just downloaded the NFL app to my S E 2020 , intending to subscribe to 
the lower tier package so that I can listen to the audio for any home or 
away games.


Thus far, I have completely struck out to use a baseball analagy. I 
looked as carefully as I could but found nothing pertaining specifically 
to audio. There was a question asking the user to list their TV provider. 
The worst thing, however, is that the app has a significant number of 
unlabeled buttons.


I write in the hope that others can navigate this maze and provide

played the previous weekend, access to archived games and probably more.

  Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad we have an alternative option, but this doesn’t

I wonder if this will be accessible. I didn’t find the NFL Game 
Pass accessible. It was so bad, and the NFL Game Pass Support didn’t care that 
there app wasn’t accessible, so I went as far as submitting a complaint to the 
DoJ under the ADA. The DoJ thanked me for filing a complaint and said they’d 
keep it in the records in case they ever decided to take any action against the 
NFL. I recently got a response to my support ticket asking if there was 
anything else they could do, but I said that between TuneIn carrying the games 
and my complaint to the DoJ, I was good.

This price is a lot cheaper then it used to be when you had to 
shell out $99 a year to get access to the radio broadcasts, but it’s still 
quite a bit more expensive than the NBA where you get all of the radio 
broadcasts for the entire season for $10.

the NFL games.

  I wonder if this will be accessible. I didn’t find the NFL Game Pass 
accessible. It was so bad, and the NFL Game Pass Support didn’t care that there 
app wasn’t accessible, so I went as far as submitting a complaint to the DoJ 
under the ADA. The DoJ thanked me for filing a complaint and said they’d keep 
it in the records in case they ever decided to take any action against the NFL. 
I recently got a response to my support ticket asking if there was anything 
else they could do, but I said that between TuneIn carrying the games and my 
complaint to the DoJ, I was good.

  This price is a lot cheaper then it used to be when you had to shell 
out $99 a year to get access to the radio broadcasts, but it’s still quite a 
bit more expensive than the NBA where you get all of the radio broadcasts for 
the entire season for $10.

2022-08-03 Thread Andy Baracco

I have had a similar experience with the NBA. I had some degree of success for 
a few years, but it was a constant battle at the beginning of each year, as it 
seems that all the major sports including MLB, NFL, and NBA redesign their 
sites and apps each year. Eventually the NBA dropped their audio only option, 
but at least last year the Game Day app for Pro basketball worked, at least as 
far as the Warriors were concerned.
Good luck!

which freely streamed some, but not all games, and usually not the games a 
person wanted. TuneIn Premium's probably the best bet.

These days that seems to be about the only thing you can do with the app.  It

is an orders tab at the bottom where you can review previous orders and you are

and The Weather Channel

  First, if memory serves, I purchased Weather Gods a few years ago and thus 
was grandfathered into things that are subscription based now. But I’m still a 
little confused when I look around in my account and look at all the various 
subscriptions and features. Best I can tell from looking around, we who are 
grandfathered into having the features for free have the Premium plan as the 
$2.99 monthly and the $29.99 yearly plans both appear to be grayed out for 
purchase. However, it looks like the extended forecast is available for us to 
purchase but for $1.49 monthly and no yearly plan. Does this look right to 
those of you who are also on this older plan? If this were an additional 
subscription, although I would prefer a yearly plan, I was kind of thinking of 
getting the subscription rather than putting money in the Tip Jar, although I 
guess one could do both.

  Second, when I look at the subscription choices for The Weather Channel in my 
account on the app store, I see Premium Pro Monthly for $4.99, Premium Pro 
Annual $19.99, Premium Pro Annual $29.99, The Weather Channel Premium one month 
$.99, The Weather Channel Premium one year $9.99. Does anyone know what’s 
actually offered with each of these subscriptions? I first used the few days 
trial offered over a year ago, and then I subscribed to the $29.99 version a 
couple of months ago. I wonder if maybe some of these options were previously 
offered but not anymore? Oh, I did also check the subscription info from 
pressing enter on my Apple ID in settings and going to subscriptions that way, 
and while they were shown in a slightly different order, the same options were 
there.

I’m pretty sure this came up a while ago, and I really didn’t pay that much 
attention. I wonder if anybody has found a workaround for the problem which 
occurs when you open the Alexa app. All of a sudden, the volume only goes 
through the earpiece which is very quiet.

Door Dash Again

2022-01-14 Thread Andy Baracco

Has anyone noticed that it is becoming more divvicult to use the Door Dash app.
Now I find that it is almost impossible to scroll through food menus either 
using explore by touch or flicking. Even using the scroll bar doesn't seem to 
help this, and it's like being stuck in a loop.  At present i can only use this 
app to order things that I have previously ordered.

Tonight this happened with me for the first time, the call courier or

edit field didn’t show up and send button was dimmed; there was no way I 
could figure to make it so that I could write for leaving a message. I 
communicated twice with Uber support by hijacking one of their other items 
since there was no other way to do it, and they said about logging out, 
restarting the device, reinstalling the app, etc., which I did, but their 
advice about network settings, etc. I don’t think should impact on whether 
the edit box shows up or not . Thanks if anyone knows anything about this.

Re: Bluetooth Headset recommendation

2022-01-01 Thread Andy Baracco

The Aftershokz products have improved greatly since they were first released. 
They used to be made of a cheap plastic that would easily break. Also, there 
was a great deal of audio leakage.  I recall sitting next to someoen on a bus 
and he was singing along with my music.
The new Trekz line is coated with a rubbery material which is very flexible.  
The audio leakage problem has improved greatly. i think that music sounds good 
on them if you are willing to deal with the vibration against your cheeks.

Re: TV subscriptions

2021-11-06 Thread Andy Baracco

if you want to cut the cord to save money, good luck!  The Internet is not a 
free lunch anymore.  Content providers have wised up and are learning how to 
monetize their content, so you may find that getting the same experience that 
you had with cable and satellite will cost you the same amount of money, if not 
more.

  If you pay that much and I think $70/month is quite high, why is YouTube TV 
better than traditional cable? I think for that you should be able to get 
pretty much the largest cable bundle as well.

  We get all of our local channels such as ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS. We also get

$69.99 per month and our Internet is somewhere around $50 per month.

Howdy all,

 

I cut the cord quite a while back – I think it was four or five years ago. 
I have been, and still am, satisfied with getting my news and vital information 
without traditional tv. Nevertheless, I am revisiting this.

 

I am now starting to feel isolated. I want to find a provider that is the 
most accessible from iOS and Windows. I have reflexively registered a seven day 
trial from fubotv.com or fubo.tv. I see all this discussion of shows and movies 
and just think I need to keep up with stuff.

 

I know there have been many discussions related to tv and movie providers 
here. I largely ignored everything because I was convinced that I had no 
interest in paying for something I didn’t need. I can search the archives but 
things are changing so I want to get the latest perspectives. Yeah, Netflix is 
possible and I know I should probably just realize that it is something I 
should just accept and pay for.

 

Please let me know if there is a service that is really great with regard 
to guide information, content selection, DVR, etc. I am a Verizon internet 
subscriber so would likely be easily persuaded to use them if an 
app/browser-based interface is good and I could get a discounted price compared 
to some of the other services. Ideally, I would like to get access to local tv, 
local tv from other localities, all cable channels, Netflix and other content 
creators, Amazon, etc. For example, anything I could get if I subscribed to 
“cable” tv.

 

I am sending this prior to trying the fubo iOS app. I have only used the 
browser-based version with Chrome and Windows with JAWS.

 

I would really appreciate constructive discussion or direction to 
information that is relevant to the current state of app/website accessibility.

 

Thanks.

 

Geoff

That share sheet issue is a thing. Sometimes it just says activity on
the item instead of telling you messages or mail or what ever. It can
take a couple times to get it to show properly. Next annoying issue is
the one when you have  a bluetooth device connected like a speaker. It
pumps voice over volume way high on the phone if that's where you have
your audio set to go. That's been a bug for a while now though.

If you write the word British in other contexts, it says it correctly.
British comedy, British food, British accent.

Perhaps Apple has an issue with the number of bars in BC.  Ha, ha.

I assume you have reported that to Apple.

But overall, iOS 15 is quite good, just new wrinkles and lots of new

The subject sort of says it. I am curious to hear what major bugs people

dealing with because I sometimes see statements like "iOS is a mess" and

I would encourage people also mention what device they use, my current 
phone
is an iPhone 11. Please furthermore be specific instead of saying 
something
"I don't like the new Focus feature" since that of course is not a bug but 
a
new feature and there will always be things maybe one would wish had 
stayed

as it was.

Also, before you mention the issue where Voiceover doesn't sometimes say 
the

name of an app in the app switcher when you flick left, try the fix I read
about and posted: go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion and turn of 
Reduce

Motion.
If somebody knows of a good reason why Reduce Motion should be on I'd like
to hear it and while I don't necessarily disagree that Voiceover should 
read
the app names even with this turned on, turning it off is a 
fix/work-around

for now especially if it doesn't have any other consequences.

Another issue which was mentioned when Applevis released their warning 
prior
to the iOS 15 release about the bugs they experienced or heard about is 
the
one where the Wallet app crashes when you flick through your cards/passes. 
I
am very curious to hear how many people have this problem. As I said 
above,
I use an iPhone 11 and this has never happened to me and I tried it also 
by

turning on Voiceover on my wife's iPhone 11 Pro and it also works fine.

Next is the share sheet, once again no issues whatsoever for me, but
apparently some people say they are having problems.

Lastly, one problem I do come across is that Voiceover mispronounces 
certain

things, here are two sample phrases which contain the name of the Canadian
province where I live:


The British Columbia government says it's making progress...



British Columbia Buy and Sell



It's almost like Voiceover is saying "The B A R British Columbia", 
difficult

to exactly make it out and of course if you go word by word it says each
word correctly.
I should mention that I use the North American SIRI female voice and also
have the SIRI male voice installed, I haven't installed Samantha to test
this, but it was not pronounced like this in iOS 14 where I used the same
voices.

While I have not had experience with the subscriptions, I would think that 
if you decide you wish to go for the premium bundle, Apple would be

yes!  You need to be a good self advocate and have a doctor who will cooperate. 
I know someone who even though he is on insulin, had to fight with Kaiser for a 
year before they would provide it for him.  These are the consequences of 
socialized medicine where bean counters can overrule doctors and patients.

  The doctor got it for my husband before he got on insulin. He wanted to 
monitor it before the insulin started so we would know how the sugars were 
running and how much insulin to prescribe. He had to talk to the insurance 
person to finally get it approved. It's not easy to get it if you are not on 
insulin. It's possible but not easy. I think part of the reason we got it for 
my husband is because it was clear he was going to be going on insulin.  We 
monitored it, went to the doctor, showed him the app, which he was absolutely 
fascinated with, by the way, and now he is on the insulin so we shouldn't have 
trouble keeping it covered. We did give them the argument of blindness and 
difficulty monitoring sugars with conventional meters, but even that argument 
didn't work right away.

So, you need to have your doctor tell them that you do not need insulin but 
in order to keep your blood sugars in tight control you need to freestyle libre

Your doctor will need to submit reports every three months to let them know 
that you are still not using insulin but that your blood sugars are in tighter 
control by using the free style libre patch.
Also, your doctor needs to submit a report stating that due to your 
blindness you’re not able to test using a meter as well due to not getting 
enough blood on the strips. That is what my doctor has told Abbott and they are 
fine with that.
You just have to have your doctor keep pushing it.

  As others have said, you don’t need the reader.  I am not diabetic, 
but my husband is, and he is totally blind and uses it every day with just the 
app.  I have a feeling that since you activated the sensor with the reader, 
that you may not be able to use this particular sensor with the app, but after 
this 14-day sensor is finished, just apply the new sensor and use the app to 
scan it.  Also, as others have said, after you activate it, you will need to 
wait an hour.  The app will notify you when your hour is over and prompt you to 
scan for a reading.  We have never had a reader with my husband’s unit, as I 
talked with a coworker and he told me not to get it, as the app is the most 
accessible way to use the Libre.  We told the doctor that we didn’t want or

phone thinking the phone might work if the reader was out-of-range.  Didn’t 
make a difference.  

  The sensor is for 14 days and the screen specifically says the reader is 
Libre 2.  Using iPhone SE 2020 and IOS 14.8.

  So for now I will use the reader to scan the sensor and have Voice Dream 
Scanner read what the display shows.  

  Looking forward to using my phone as the alerts on the reader are not 
very loud.

  Again thanks everyone for all the comments and suggestions.

  As others have said, you don’t need the reader.  I am not diabetic, but 
my husband is, and he is totally blind and uses it every day with just the app. 
 I have a feeling that since you activated the sensor with the reader, that you 
may not be able to use this particular sensor with the app, but after this 
14-day sensor is finished, just apply the new sensor and use the app to scan 
it.  Also, as others have said, after you activate it, you will need to wait an 
hour.  The app will notify you when your hour is over and prompt you to scan 
for a reading.  We have never had a reader with my husband’s unit, as I talked 
with a coworker and he told me not to get it, as the app is the most accessible 
way to use the Libre.  We told the doctor that we didn’t want or need the 
reader.  Hope this is helpful.

  Hi Larry,
  Are you sure about needing a reader? I have never had the reader, as I 
understood when these things came out and became accessible through the iPhone, 
but the reader was superfluous. You can activate the sensor without the reader, 
unless they’ve changed something, which is incredibly stupid, since the reader 
is otherwise not accessible at all.
  I’m really confused. Because I know back when I used these sensors over the 
course of a year or a year and a half often on, no reader was ever necessary. 
I’ve never even seen it.

you don't need the reader.  You should be able to scan with your phone.  it 
uses NFC and not bluetooth, so you will need to place the phone next to the 
sensor on your arm.  When you first install or when you change the sensor, you 
will have to wait an hour before you do your first scan.

  Alan,

  We recently got an Ecobee thermostat which was recommended by our 
HVAC company and it works with our Trane air conditioner.  I do not remember 
the specific model offhand, though.

  My husband and I are both blind, and after the initial setup, we have 
had no issues using it with their app or Alexa.   The only time we needed 
sighted help was during the setup process to enter the WIFI information 
directly on the touch screen of the unit.  There may have been a way around

  Subject: Game Day

  I purchased the Game Day ap for listening to NFL games. Last year I 
was able to listen to NFL games. Now when I try to listen to NFL games the ap 
says radio blocked. Any idea how to get the games to open, so I can listen to 
them like I have before? Thanks and have a nice day!

  CAUTION: External Sender

  Alan,

  We recently got an Ecobee thermostat which was recommended by our 
HVAC company and it works with our Trane air conditioner.  I do not remember 
the specific model offhand, though.

  My husband and I are both blind, and after the initial setup, we have 
had no issues using it with their app or Alexa.   The only time we needed 
sighted help was during the setup process to enter the WIFI information 
directly on the touch screen of the unit.  There may have been a way around 
this that we might have missed at the time, but a call to AIRA helped get this 
part done.

  Anyway, we are very happy with this unit.
