Kiruna is from India and you may want to remember that not everybody knows about everything. I am in Canada and I get lots of people who ask me where I got my guide dog from, how much they are and if I have to pay for them. And just in case this is something you didn't know, India is part of the Commonwealth just as Canada, Australia, Pakistan, Nigeria and other countries are so maybe it would be possible for somebody from a Commonwealth country where there is no guide dog school to apply to a guide dog school in another Commonwealth country and be accepted to get a dog. I am not saying this is so, but it is certainly possible. I am in Canada yet I can apply at any US guide dog school to get a dog if I so choose even though we have several guide dog schools in Canada. My first dog was from Leader Dogs for the Blind in Rochester, Michigan and among the I think 24 people who were there in my group to get dogs 4 came from Spain on some arrangement the Spanish government or maybe it was some sort of Spanish not for profit group had with Leader Dogs. Since nobody explained to Kiruna what the usual process is to get a guide dog, I will do so in general terms. You apply to a guide dog school, if it is the first time you get a dog from them they typically would visit you where you live, they would want to see your home and where you work (if you work) and they would also want to see you walk around with a cane or your previous guide dog if you currently have one to assess your mobility skills and so on. If they accept you, they will at some point let you know when you can get a dog, some schools have fairly long waiting lists. Once you get the date you have to go to the school for typically a 3-week training course where you get to know your dog and your dog gets to know you. Walking with a guide dog requires training just as walking with a cane does and if you have never had a dog you have to of course learn how to care for the dog, this includes grooming, feeding and picking up the dog poop in a little plastic bag; I know, sounds shitty, but I shit you not. After your course you get to take your dog home, some schools may also send a guide dog trainer home with you to do some more training in your own environment or some schools may ask you to come for a shorter course at the school and then you do more one-on-one training in your own city/town. In rare cases a trainer may even come to you and do the entire training with you in your city/town, but I think most schools would need a good reason to do this. Most schools also like to follow up with you on an annual bases and they may send a trainer to do a walk with you and evaluate how things are going. Keep in mind that when you get a dog that dog is not yours. I assume all schools are the same in this respect, but should you not care for the dog properly they do have the right to take it away from you and I have heard of a few cases where this was done. As for the cost to train a dog, including breeding programs, puppy raising, training and after-care it is I believe around $30,000 or $35,000 US so actually buying a guide dog is not something most people could afford if the schools weren't not for profit organizations who are financed from donations, fund raising events, money bequeathed to them and so on. I believe in England the government is involved as well and in Germany the health insurance pays for guide dogs as well as for things like dog food, vet costs etc. Lastly, remember the country where you live. How accepted are dogs there? I haven't been to India with or without a dog, but I did once take my guide dog to the Philippines where my wife is from. This was actually my first trip there in 2009 and when we first met in person. I got all the

Alibaba made a smart iPhone screen to help blind people shop and it costs next to nothing
Gadgets – TechCrunch - Monday, 12 November 2018 at 8:55 AM Alibaba made a smart screen to help blind people shop and it costs next to nothing Just a few years ago, Li Mengqi could not have imagined shopping on her own. Someone needed to always keep her company to say aloud what was in front of her, who’s been blind since birth. When smartphones with text-to-speech machines for the visually impaired arrived, she immediately bought an iPhone. “Though it was expensive,” Li, a 23-year-old who grew up in a rural village in eastern China’s Zhejiang province, told me. Cheaper smartphone options in China often don’t have good accessibility features. Screen readers opened a plethora of new opportunity for those with visual impairments. “I felt liberated, no longer having to rely on others,” said Li, who can now shop online, WeChat her friends, and go out alone by following her iPhone compass. Reading out everything on the screen is helpful, but it can also be overwhelming. Digital readers don’t decipher human thoughts, so when Li gets on apps with busy interfaces, such as an ecommerce platform, she’s bombarded with descriptions before she gets to the thing she wants. Over the past two years, Alibaba’s $15 billion R initiative Damo Academy has been working to improve smartphone experience for the blind. Its latest answer, a joint effort with China’s prestigious Tsinghua University, is a cheap silicone sheet that goes on top of smartphone screens. Li is among the first one hundred visually impaired or blind users to trial the technology. Nothing stands out about the plastic film – which cost RMB 0.25 or 3.6 American cents each to produce – until one has a closer look. There are three mini buttons on each side. They are sensory-enabled, which means pressing on them triggers certain commands, usually those that are frequently used like “go back” and “confirm”. “It’s much easier to shop with the sheet on,” said Li. Having button shortcuts removes the risk of misclicking and the need for complex interactions with screens. Powering Smart Touch is human-machine interaction, the same technology that makes voice control devices possible. Alibaba’s $1 “Smart Touch” plastic sheet helps smoothen smartphone experience for the visually impaired. / Photo credit: Alibaba “We thought, human-machine interaction can’t just be for sighted people,” Chen Zhao, research director at Damo Academy told TechCrunch. “Besides voice, touch is also very important to the blind, so we decided to develop a touch feature.” Smart Touch isn’t just for fingers. It also works when users hold their phones up to the ears. This lets them listen to text quickly in public without having to blast it out through speakers or headphones. Early trials of ear touch show a 50 percent reduction in time needed to complete tasks like taking calls and online shopping, Alibaba claims. Emotions also matter. People with visual disabilities tend to be more cautious as they fumble through screens, so Smart Touch takes that into account. For instance, users need to double-click on the silicone button before a command goes through. At the moment, Smart Touch works only on special editions of Alibaba’s two flagship apps, e-commerce marketplace Taobao and payment affiliate Alipay. The buttons automatically take on different functions when users switch between apps. But Zhao said she wanted to make the technology widely available. Some tinkering with existing apps will make Smart Touch compatible. The smart film requires more testing before it officially rolls out early 2019, so Damo and Tsinghua have been recruiting volunteers like Li for feedback. “Unlike with regular apps, it’s hard to beta test Smart Touch because the blind population is relatively small,” observed the researcher, but embedding the technology in popular apps could speed up the iteration process. There’s also the issue with distributing the physical sheets. According to state census, China had around 13 million visually impaired people in 2012. That’s about one in a hundred people. However, they are rarely seen in public, as a post on China’s equivalent of Quora points out. One oft-cited obstacle is that most roads in China aren’t disability-friendly, even in major cities. (In my city Shenzhen, blind lanes are common but they often get cut off abruptly to make way for a crossing or a bus stop.) Damo doesn’t plan to monetize the initiative, according to Zhao. She envisions a future where her team could give out the haptic films — which can be mass produced at low costs — for free through Alibaba’s expanding network of brick-and-mortar stores. Time will tell whether the accessibility scheme is more than public relations fluff. Initiatives around corporate social responsibility have mushroomed in China in recent years. They have come under fire, however, for being transient because many merely pander to the government’s demand (link in

Create a spreadsheet on your iPhone!
Looking for a spreadsheet to create, edit and format on your iPhone? I tried a number of spreadsheets including Numbers from Apple. But none of them were fully workable. I finally found one! This one works perfectly! I could create, edit, format, enter formulas, enter text, reference other spreadsheets, and even formats the text! Besides, I had the added benefit of being able to collaborate with others on the spreadsheet! Ironically, the spreadsheet is from Google!! Try it you will you love it! Cheers!

Vibrating Glove Teaches Braille
Vibrating Glove Teaches Braille Ubergizmo I am a firm believer that the very day in which we stop learning, that is more often than not the day that we die. Learning Braille is definitely not easy at all, especially for someone who has not yet lost his or her sight, and for those who have lost their eyesight and want to pick up Braille, it can be quite challenging, too. There are concepts in the past that might help ease the passage of learning, but none of those seem to be able to hold a candle to this vibrating glove that will be able to let one pick up Braille thanks to the wonders of passive haptic learning. Researchers over at the Georgia Institute of Technology have managed to come up with a glove that will allow users to learn how to read and write Braille, even when they are focusing on unrelated activities. How does it work? This wearable computer will rely on miniature vibrating motors that have been sewn into the knuckles, and it was discovered that motor skills in participants were being developed without requiring them to focus on the movement of their hands. It is said that only 10% of the 40 million blind persons worldwide learn Braille, with the main barrier being schools neglecting this aspect of learning. Thad Starner, College of Computing Professor at Georgia Tech and technical lead/manager on Google’s Project Glass, said, “The process is based on passive haptic learning (PHL). We’ve learned that people can acquire motor skills through vibrations without devoting active attention to their hands.” Vibrating Glove Teaches Braille , original content from Ubergizmo.

Fleksy Keyboard Makes Its Way To iOS Through Third-Party Apps
Fleksy Keyboard Makes Its Way To iOS Through Third-Party Apps Ubergizmo [image: Fleksy Keyboard Makes Its Way To iOS Through Third Party Apps]If there’s one thing about Android is that it is not as restrictive compared to iOS. This means that users are able to customize their device to their liking, sometimes without even having to root their phone. For example customization could be a change in launchers, or keyboards, or even changing the default camera/browser app. Well the good news is that it looks like some of that customization could be headed iOS’ way in the form of Fleksy keyboardhttp://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/12/fleksy-keyboard-for-android-leaves-beta/. The app has been available on Android and recently left its beta phase, but its developers have not stopped there and have released an SDK for iOS developers. While Fleksy will not be able to replace all of iOS’ keyboards, developers now have the option to include the keyboard within their apps. Speaking to The Vergehttp://www.theverge.com/2013/12/12/5201868/fleksy-wants-to-become-your-new-ios-keyboard-everywhere, Fleksy’s founder, Ioannis Verdelis, was quoted as saying, *“With every new version of iOS the work required on our part to build a keyboard SDK has reduced significantly […] We’re [now] doing stuff on iOS that integrates the keyboard deeper than it’s ever been integrated.” *As it stands there are a handful of apps that have already integrated Fleksy into their apps, such as GV Connect, Blindsquare, Wordbox, and Launch. If you’re wondering what those apps might be like to use with a keyboard different from the default iOS one, go ahead and check them out. *Follow:* CellPhones http://www.ubergizmo.com/topic/cellphones/, appshttp://www.ubergizmo.com/tags/apps/, fleksy http://www.ubergizmo.com/tags/fleksy/, iOShttp://www.ubergizmo.com/tags/ios/, Fleksy Keyboard Makes Its Way To iOS Through Third-Party Appshttp://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/12/fleksy-keyboard-makes-its-way-to-ios-through-third-party-apps/?utm_source=mainrssoriginal content from Ubergizmo http://www.ubergizmo.com. http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F2013%2F12%2Ffleksy-keyboard-makes-its-way-to-ios-through-third-party-apps%2F%3Futm_source%3Dmainrsst=Fleksy+Keyboard+Makes+Its+Way+To+iOS+Through+Third-Party+Apps http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F2013%2F12%2Ffleksy-keyboard-makes-its-way-to-ios-through-third-party-apps%2F%3Futm_source%3Dmainrsst=Fleksy+Keyboard+Makes+Its+Way+To+iOS+Through+Third-Party+Apps http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F2013%2F12%2Ffleksy-keyboard-makes-its-way-to-ios-through-third-party-apps%2F%3Futm_source%3Dmainrsst=Fleksy+Keyboard+Makes+Its+Way+To+iOS+Through+Third-Party+Apps http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F2013%2F12%2Ffleksy-keyboard-makes-its-way-to-ios-through-third-party-apps%2F%3Futm_source%3Dmainrsst=Fleksy+Keyboard+Makes+Its+Way+To+iOS+Through+Third-Party+Apps http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F2013%2F12%2Ffleksy-keyboard-makes-its-way-to-ios-through-third-party-apps%2F%3Futm_source%3Dmainrsst=Fleksy+Keyboard+Makes+Its+Way+To+iOS+Through+Third-Party+Apps http://da.feedsportal.com/r/180266100682/u/49/f/641192/c/34785/s/34c109fa/sc/15/rc/1/rc.htm http://da.feedsportal.com/r/180266100682/u/49/f/641192/c/34785/s/34c109fa/sc/15/rc/2/rc.htm http://da.feedsportal.com/r/180266100682/u/49/f/641192/c/34785/s/34c109fa/sc/15/rc/3/rc.htm http://da.feedsportal.com/r/180266100682/u/49/f/641192/c/34785/s/34c109fa/a2.htm Original Article: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/12/fleksy-keyboard-makes-its-way-to-ios-through-third-party-apps/?utm_source=mainrss -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Bottom buttons in Safari?
There are a row of five buttons at the bottom of the Safari page. The back button, forward button, Share button, bookmarks button and the pages button. In iOS 6 these buttons used to be at the bottom of each page. In iOS 7 they do not appear on every screen and I have to scroll down to the bottom of the pages and then get to the buttons. Let me explain : if there is a website with hundred pages and I want to go back or forward or use the share button or the bookmark button I can't do it! I would have to scroll down hundred pages before I can reach those buttons! Am I missing something? Is there an easy way to get to the buttons? And please don't say that I should do a four finger tap at the bottom of the screen! Thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

iOS 7.0.3 Bugs Shown Off In Video
iOS 7.0.3 Bugs Shown Off In Video Ubergizmo There is nothing quite like having a new version of the mobile operating system installed on your smartphone, as you take advantage of the latest features and functions introduced by the developers themselves. Unfortunately for the masses, this would mean that you would often need to have newer hardware in order to run the most recent version of the operating system. For those who are running on iOS 7.0.3, you are not out of the bugs woods just yet. iOS 7.0.3 was originally released to repair selected bugs which were discovered in iOS 7.0.2, which in turn, was itself sent out to squash some other issues when iOS 7 was initially released. Since then, iOS 7.0.3 videos on YouTube have already appeared that depicted a number of issues and bugs such as the inability of the lockscreen to load correctly, a bug which will change the wallpaper automatically without prior permission, a music app that stubbornly refuses to appear in portrait orientation, issues with YouTube videos that do not show up on the screen, and a glitch where multitasking is concerned. Not only that, other iPhone and iPad users who are frustrated with iOS 7.0.3 have also complained about problems surrounding the alarm icon and missing icons. Hopefully when iOS 7.0.4http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/11/ios-7-0-4-could-be-close-to-releasing-activity-starting-to-ramp-up/is released, the bugs nightmare will finally be over. *Follow:* Apple http://www.ubergizmo.com/topic/apple/, CellPhoneshttp://www.ubergizmo.com/topic/cellphones/, bugs http://www.ubergizmo.com/tags/bugs/, iOShttp://www.ubergizmo.com/tags/ios/, iOS 7.0.3 Bugs Shown Off In Videohttp://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/11/ios-7-0-3-bugs-shown-off-in-video/?utm_source=mainrssoriginal content from Ubergizmo http://www.ubergizmo.com. http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F2013%2F11%2Fios-7-0-3-bugs-shown-off-in-video%2F%3Futm_source%3Dmainrsst=iOS+7.0.3+Bugs+Shown+Off+In+Video http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F2013%2F11%2Fios-7-0-3-bugs-shown-off-in-video%2F%3Futm_source%3Dmainrsst=iOS+7.0.3+Bugs+Shown+Off+In+Video http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F2013%2F11%2Fios-7-0-3-bugs-shown-off-in-video%2F%3Futm_source%3Dmainrsst=iOS+7.0.3+Bugs+Shown+Off+In+Video http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F2013%2F11%2Fios-7-0-3-bugs-shown-off-in-video%2F%3Futm_source%3Dmainrsst=iOS+7.0.3+Bugs+Shown+Off+In+Video http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F2013%2F11%2Fios-7-0-3-bugs-shown-off-in-video%2F%3Futm_source%3Dmainrsst=iOS+7.0.3+Bugs+Shown+Off+In+Video http://da.feedsportal.com/r/180263909728/u/49/f/641192/c/34785/s/3387fb03/sc/5/rc/1/rc.htm http://da.feedsportal.com/r/180263909728/u/49/f/641192/c/34785/s/3387fb03/sc/5/rc/2/rc.htm http://da.feedsportal.com/r/180263909728/u/49/f/641192/c/34785/s/3387fb03/sc/5/rc/3/rc.htm http://da.feedsportal.com/r/180263909728/u/49/f/641192/c/34785/s/3387fb03/a2.htm Original Article: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/11/ios-7-0-3-bugs-shown-off-in-video/?utm_source=mainrss -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Visus Visual Assist System Could Help Visually Impaired “See”
Visus Visual Assist System Could Help Visually Impaired “See” Ubergizmo I am quite sure that many of us have already heard of this particularly common phrase, “There’s an app for that.” Sure, that might be true and your smartphone is a ringing endorsement (pun not intended) for such a saying, but do bear in mind that not everyone is able to use the smartphone as intended to, and visually impaired folks happen to fall under this particular category. Innovators and entrepreneurs from Visus Technology figured out that they need to do something about this situation, coming up with a system which will be able to assist visually impaired and blind people “see” things from a new perspective thanks to the use of wireless technology. Known as the Visus Visual Assist system, trials of it happened last month, involving a bunch of middle-school aged students in a summer enrichment program over at the world-renowned Carroll Center for the Blind. Each of these students were equipped with a Samsung smartphone, where they were then trained on using the Visus app, before being sent out to see just how helpful this app is. The Visus Visual Assist system was developed in collaboration with the Verizon Innovation Program, and hopefully, it will hit the market pretty soon, letting blind and visually-impaired people recognize faces, determine colors, and navigate their travel. Check out feedback from the students and teachers in the video above, and be encouraged.

Two iPhones.
I have just got a second iPhone. The second phone is more as a backup in case I damage or lose the first. Also I plan to use another phone number on it. Can I use the same Apple ID on both phones? And can I use the same backup for both phones so that I would have identical data in both platforms? If the answdr to previous questions if in the affirmative, then how do I ensure that both phones have the same data? How do I keep them synced?

The Blind Have Use For An iPad, Too
The Blind Have Use For An iPad, Too Ubergizmo The blind might not be the original target market for the folks over at Apple with the hugely successful iPad tablet in the first place, but this does not mean that with a little bit of training, some perseverance, as well as the right kind of software in place, the blind as well as visually impaired folks too, are able to take advantage of this popular tablet device. As you can check out in the video above from Bloomberg, Jon Erlichman from the same company participated in a workshop that actually helps instruct teachers on how one is able to unlock the power of the iPad for the visually impaired. This is definitely a heart warming video, as we see barriers being broken down thanks to the wonders of modern technology. I wonder whether similar training concepts and ideas can be incorporated so that those who want to use tablets on the Android platform will not feel left out of the equation.

iOS 6.1.3 Users Report Battery Drain, Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues
iOS 6.1.3 Users Report Battery Drain, Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues Ubergizmo [image: iOS 6.1.3 Users Report Battery Drain, Wi Fi Connectivity Issues] iOS 6.1.3 was released last weekhttp://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/03/ios-6-1-3-released-to-fix-passcode-security-vulnerability/ in order to help fix its passcode security flaw, but it looks as though Apple may have rushed its release a tad as a number of iOS users who updated to the latest version are complaining of both battery drain and Wi-Fi issues. A number of iOS users have taken to Apple’s Support Communities forum to reveal iOS 6.1.3 has been draining their batteries more quickly than it did in iOS 6.1.2. Some users even reported a continued drain on their battery even after they turned off all notifications and even going as far as restoring their device to its factory settings.

Google Glass App Identifies People By Clothes, Hints At Tech That Could Counter Face Blindness
Google Glass App Identifies People By Clothes, Hints At Tech That Could Counter Face Blindness TechCrunch » Gadgets [image: google glass] That problem where you’re meeting someone for the first time, maybe to pick up something you bought through Craigslist? Google Glass can help with that. A new app designed for Google’s upcoming smart-mounted computer will be able to identify people based on what they’re wearing. The so-called InSight projecthttp://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21729075.600-google-glass-app-identifies-you-by-your-fashion-sense.html (via 9to5Googlehttp://9to5google.com/2013/03/08/google-glass-app-from-duke-university-recognizes-people-by-what-they-wear/?utm_source=feedburnerutm_medium=twitterutm_campaign=Feed%3A+9to5Google+%289to5+Google+-+Beyond+Good+and+Evil%29) is funded in part by Google and developed by University of South Caroline and Duke University researchers, and uses a smartphone app to develop a clothing-based digital fingerprint to help identify strangers. The app would let users like sellers on Craigslist, or members of online dating sites, or anyone meeting someone for the first time create a profile of themselves using their smartphone camera, and shots from various angles. InSight would then piece together a virtual profile of that person based on what they’re wearing, which could then be used by Google Glass to make a positive ID when that person comes within range of its visual sensors. It’s very sci-fi, it’s very cool, and best of all, it’s very accurate: in tests so far the researchers behind the project have been able to get a positive match 93 percent of the time. The system uses clothes because it provides more visual signals at a distance to help with identification, and also because it keeps a user’s identity more or less private, since all they have to do is change clothes in order to not be identified by the same person’s Google Glass application in the future. But it could be refined to help with prosopagnosia, otherwise known as face blindness, and that’s where Google Glass’s therapeutic potential really starts to become apparent. Prosopagnosia may affect up to 2.5 percent of the world’s population to varying degrees, according to a recent studyhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19334306, so while rare a system that corrects it could still have a significant impact. InSight, or technology like it, could help by identifying people based on their facial characteristics and keeping a stored database of people know to the Google Glass wearer, so that they can ‘recognize’ faces thanks to information provided through their heads up display. The same kind of tech could also help with visual agnosiahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_agnosia, a disorder resulting from strokes that can render a patient incapable of identifying everyday objects. And for more quotidian uses, it could work in tandem with language learning software to help learners identify the world around them in their target tongue. Google Glass may not be something consumers can buy quite yethttp://techcrunch.com/2013/02/22/google-glass-2013-release-date-price/, but it’s already showing that it could have plenty of applications beyond just acting as an extension of your smartphone. http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/tctechcrunch2011.wordpress.com/773578/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=VEp6KnYS-Ac:G8c-9spDNt4:V_sGLiPBpWU http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=VEp6KnYS-Ac:G8c-9spDNt4:F7zBnMyn0Lo http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=VEp6KnYS-Ac:G8c-9spDNt4:yIl2AUoC8zA Original Article: http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/08/google-glass-app-identifies-people-by-clothes-hints-at-tech-that-could-counter-face-blindness/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Two Bluetooth devices?
Is it possible to connect two Bluetooth devices to the iPhone at the same time? I want to use a bluetooth to keyboard and the Bluetooth headful. Has anyone done it?

Best way to view the group emails?
Hi! Can someone please tell me what is the best way to read the emails. I mean I use the iPhone to have them read out to me. I find I get a lot of repetition and the emails come on mixed up. I get a lot of links read-out to me and it's no fun at all. I wish all the emails could come without on the text before and after you could make feeding so much easier. Also it would make more sense. Can you please suggest? Thank you and many blessings! This email was dictated to my iPhone. So please excuse the typos!
