I will warn you that Chat-GPT can sometimes hallucinate. What this means is 
that it will simply make up information it doesn’t know. So while your 
conversation seems very detailed and helpful, I would not trust it entirely, 
because Chat-GPT is known to just make up stuff sometimes. And it will tell you 
about it very confidently.

There is a benefit for using ChatGPT.  Here is a dialog with me and it about 
the Augusta National Golf Club.  Keep in mind I have never seen the Augusta 
National, let alone set foot on it, even though I am from there.

You
I am visually impaired. I have never been to the Augusta national, so describe 
the layout of the chorus and the holes to me!
ChatGPT
The Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters Tournament, is renowned for 
its stunning layout. The course features a hilly terrain with lush green 
fairways and beautiful azalea-lined pathways.
The front nine holes wind through the Georgia pines, starting with the 
relatively short par-4 first hole and leading to the iconic par-3 12th hole, 
known as "Golden Bell," which requires a precise tee shot over Rae's Creek to a 
narrow green.
The back nine is known for its challenging closing stretch, including the 
famous par-5 13th hole, named "Azalea," which offers players a risk-reward 
opportunity for eagle or birdie. The par-4 18th hole, "Holly," demands accuracy 
off the tee to avoid the fairway bunkers and sets up a dramatic approach shot 
to the elevated green.
Overall, Augusta National's layout is characterized by its strategic bunkering, 
undulating greens, and picturesque water hazards, providing a challenging yet 
picturesque test for the world's best golfers.

You
Tell me about Amen Corner from Augusta National.
ChatGPT
Amen Corner is one of the most famous stretches of holes at Augusta National 
Golf Club, specifically holes 11, 12, and 13. This iconic trio of holes begins 
with the par-4 11th, named "White Dogwood," which features a narrow tee shot 
and an approach to a green guarded by a pond on the left. Then comes the 
legendary par-3 12th, known as "Golden Bell," where players must navigate a tee 
shot over Rae's Creek to a small, undulating green protected by bunkers. 
Finally, the stretch concludes with the par-5 13th, named "Azalea," which 
offers a chance for players to make up ground with a well-placed tee shot 
followed by a strategic approach over Rae's Creek to an elevated green.
Amen Corner gained its name from Herbert Warren Wind, a golf writer, who coined 
the term in a 1958 Sports Illustrated article. The name stuck, and today Amen 
Corner is synonymous with one of the most challenging and picturesque parts of 
Augusta National, where many pivotal moments in the Masters Tournament have 
unfolded over the years.

You
Describe the other holes to me.
ChatGPT
Certainly! At Augusta National Golf Club, each hole has its own unique 
characteristics and challenges. Here's a brief overview of the remaining holes:
1.
Hole 1 - Tea Olive: A relatively short par-4 with a wide fairway but guarded by 
bunkers on both sides. It's a gentle start to the round.
2.
Hole 2 - Pink Dogwood: A longer par-5 with a dogleg left. Players must navigate 
bunkers and trees to reach the green in regulation.
3.
Hole 3 - Flowering Peach: A medium-length par-4 with a fairway that slopes from 
right to left. The green is protected by bunkers and requires an accurate 
approach.
4.
Hole 4 - Flowering Crab Apple: Another par-3, this hole features a large, 
undulating green guarded by deep bunkers. Accuracy is key off the tee.
5.
Hole 5 - Magnolia: A challenging par-4 with a narrow fairway and trees lining 
both sides. The green is elevated and sloped, making approach shots difficult.
6.
Hole 6 - Juniper: A long par-3 with a deep bunker guarding the front of the 
green. It requires a precise tee shot to avoid trouble.
7.
Hole 7 - Pampas: A dogleg right par-4 with a fairway that slopes from left to 
right. Bunkers and trees come into play on both the tee shot and approach.
8.
Hole 8 - Yellow Jasmine: A shorter par-5 with a slight dogleg left. Big hitters 
have a chance to reach the green in two, but bunkers and a creek guard the 
approach.
9.
Hole 9 - Carolina Cherry: A challenging uphill par-4 with a narrow fairway and 
bunkers strategically placed along the landing area. The green is elevated and 
sloped, making it tough to hold approach shots.
Each of these holes presents its own set of challenges, requiring strategic 
thinking and precise execution to navigate successfully.

You
What about the rest of the nine holes?
ChatGPT
Sure, let's continue with the description of the remaining holes at Augusta 
National:

Hole 10 - Camellia: A long, uphill par-4 that requires a strong tee shot to 
reach the plateau fairway. The approach shot is to an 

Re: Using Chat GPT, and other Apss

2024-04-13 Thread Brandon Olivares
Oh my goodness, I use Chat-GPT literally on a daily basis, and it has changed 
everything for me.

First thing, I wouldn’t use it for help with writing. It’s honestly pretty 
awful at it. It’s OK for ideas and maybe reorganizing things a bit, but don’t 
just have it write a large bit of text. It might sound smart but it’s so 
predictable and bland.

But there’s so much more it can help with.

I actually have Chat-GPT Plus, that I pay $20 a month for.

First thing, I have it describe images. I know Be My AI can do that, but I 
mostly work on my computer and don’t want to put an image on my phone every 
time I want a description.

Chat-GPT does an awesome job though.

Next thing, I’m a bookkeeper and often have scanned receipts from clients. I 
used to have to OCR them, but yesterday I just tried uploading the receipt to 
Chat-GPT and asked it what it was for. It told me exactly what was on the 
receipt, the discounts applied, the total, tax, etc. I even asked for more 
information on each item because I hadn’t heard of them, and it proceeded to 
give me a detailed background for each one.

I’ve had it search through PDFs for me to find information if I didn’t want to 
try to look through it myself.

The possibilities are literally endless. The thing it’s weakest at is writing, 
yet that’s what most people seem to use it for. But it’s capabilities are 
insane.

I haven’t used the iPhone app, just the web interface on the computer, so can’t 
speak to the accessibility.

Subject: Using Chat GPT, and other Apss
Hello everyone,


First of all, please know that I am not trying to start anything, with
the questions that I am about to ask. I honestly want to understand how
these things can be of help to me. But, not do all of the work for me.


I am curious, does anyone here use Chat GPT? Or, Microsoft Co-Pilot?

Not sure I spelled that last one correctly.


If anyone here does use these Apps, or any others I might not be aware
of, how accessible are they?

Also, what might you use them for?


I am currently attending a local community college. My goal is to
hopefully get my Masters degree. I am a long way off from this though,
and life could go in a totally different direction. I am also an older
student. I don't even know if I will ever have a career.


Anyway, one thing I would like to use Chat GPT for, is to get help with
my writing. I never really learned how to write papers in high school. I
feel so behind in this area. I am told all the time that I need to kind
of learn to BS my way through stuff.

However, I am not at all good with that sort of thing.


Please understand, I do not want to cheat! Or, plagiarize anything. I
really just want to use AI to help me with this huge struggle. I want
help with structure, and all that. But, I want to make the paper my own.
And, make changes where necessary.


However, I also want to make use of these Apps, in other ways as well,
if this can be beneficial for me. I just don't know enough, to know what
I might be missing out on. I know we do have to be careful, when using
any sort of AI. And, we need to be smart about what we do. I just think
though that all of this stuff can really benefit us in a lot of ways.


Thank you to anyone who has read this. Any thoughts, or advice will be
very much appreciated.


Terri

You can add a field to the 1Password item called “one-time password”. It will 
scan your screen for the QR code to link them, or you can copy the image and 
it’ll detect it that way.

After it’s set up, you can just copy the existing PIN and paste it into the 
website. It’s super easy.

Subject: RE: Accessibility of Authenticator Apps
Can you explain how 1Password can doe 2FA? I thought you still have to use 
something like Microsoft authenticator. I very recently started using 1Password 
and signed up for the Starter for Teams account as this is also for my business 
and several employees need to have access. I had been a Roboform user for a 
very long time and I tried 1Password a few years ago and did not like it. This 
was before Version 8, however, and so far it's a very different experience and 
I am pretty sure I'll stick with it. I use it many times every day on my PC at 
work, my laptop at home as well as on my iPhone. Exporting all my hundreds of 
Roboform SafeNotes and Passcards and importing them into 1Password was quite 
easy, but I have not yet figured out how to integrate 2-/Factor authentication 
in a way where it is autonated. Of course there are ma ny websites I have to 
use for my business and also sites I use privately where the 2FA happens by 
sending a code in an email or text message or, in the case of my RBC bank 
account, where simply a notification comes up on my iPhone and after 
authenticating with Face Id I have to simply tap on "Allow".
But I have one login in particular for a government website where the 2FA code 
is generated in the Microsoft Authenticator app and if I could somehow automate 
this process it would make things a lot easier.

Re: comparison between air tags and tiles

2023-12-10 Thread Brandon Olivares
I think it kind of depends what you’re planning to use it for. I have two tiles 
and they work great for me for what I need them for, but for other purposes I’d 
happily use air tags.

Re: Would This Work?

About the same cost as the Air Tag, just under $30. There’s no replaceable 
battery but they’re supposed to work up to 3 years, and I think are guaranteed 
for at least 1 year.

The tune they play is pretty cute too  My cats come running when they hear the

Re: Would This Work?

2023-11-06 Thread Brandon Olivares
Just wanted to report back that my original idea worked perfectly. Instead of 
an Air Tag, I used a product from Tile called the Sticker. It’s a small little 
device that can stick to any flat surface and then you can ring it from your 
phone.

At first I stuck it to the inside of the lid of the ball, but the adhesive 
didn’t hold well so now I just do exactly what I said in my original email: I 
pealed off the adhesive and just put it directly inside the ball. There have 
been no problems at all.

I tried the Air Tag but I didn’t like that I had to keep pressing the play 
button to get it to ring for a few seconds. The Tile rings continuously until 
you press Done.

But now I can find it wherever it is the cats left it, no problem at all.

They have lots of active toys and I play with them regularly. But I like the 
feeder balls because it makes them hunt for their food, which makes them more 
satisfied because it plays more to their natural instinct.

Plus at this point they love the feeder balls 

Re: Would This Work?

2023-10-20 Thread Brandon Olivares
Not unless it was a pretty long string, and then I’d be afraid of my cats 
getting tangled up in it. But a lot of times the ball is behind the TV or under 
the dresser, so it’d have to be a long string to be able to really make a 
difference.

Would This Work?

2023-10-20 Thread Brandon Olivares
OK I’m sorry if this sounds silly, but I wanted to ask if anyone thinks this 
might work or might have a better idea.

I have two kittens. We give them these feeder balls where they have to roll 
them around to get the food out of them. It keeps them active and encourages 
their hunting instinct.

Well the problem is it’s always hard to find the balls so I can refill them 
with food.

I was thinking whether I could use an Apple Air Tag to somehow attach to the 
ball. Then I could make it play a noise so I could find exactly where it is.

I’m just not sure how I’d attach it. It looks like it might be big enough I 
thought maybe I could just put it right inside the ball, and I think the holes 
in the ball would be too small for it to fall out.

What do you think? Or do you have a better idea?

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: We Deserve Better from Apple Why I Can No Longer Recommend a Mac to Fellow Blind Computer Users.

2023-10-08 Thread Brandon Olivares
I think this is a bit overblown. Sure I sometimes get the issue but really not 
that often. I used to get it far worse before the M1 chip. Every so often it 
happens now, but restarting VoiceOver always does the trick.

I certainly remember how often Windows used to freeze up and sometimes I 
couldn’t get jaws working again so I had to do a total restart.

I do want to give a slight warning though in regards to asking for information. 
The AI can “hallucinate” and give dead wrong information, but do so very 
confidently. It doesn’t tend to say “I don’t know” but will just make stuff up, 
so verify everything.

Re: VoiceOver Announcing Letters Weirdly

OK apparently the Alex voice is corrupted. Is anyone else having this issue? 
When I enable Alex on her phone, it speaks in Samantha’s voice and a lot of 
things are just messed up. When I read character-by-character it just says 
random codes.

VoiceOver Announcing Letters Weirdly

Hello,

My wife just got the iPhone 14, and now voiceOver is pronouncing letters on the 
keyboard very strangely. I don’t even know how to describe it, I hear something 
about   and some weird codes. It’s making it so she can’t type.

Any idea what this is or how to fix it?

Thanks,

Re: Uber has gotten ugly

2023-02-27 Thread Brandon Olivares
Actually I just had the same issue yesterday. I was trying to take an Uber to 
church, and definitely had the church as a saved place, but I had to reenter 
the address. And it didn’t have my home address anymore either. Glad I’m not 
the only one. I don’t use Uber often so I thought maybe I was doing something 
wrong.

 Hi everyone,
 
 I tried to play the mini crossword in the New York Time Crosswords 
 app, but I couldn’t quite make it work. When it opens, the Across 
 clues are listed in a very accessible way, saying how many letters the 
 word has and whether any letters are filled in. If I touch one (not 
 double-tap but just touch), the letters I enter go into that clue. If 
 I double-tap anywhere, a screen displaying the grid opens, and if I 
 touch a square, I’m told which square it is and whether it’s blank or 
 what letter it contains. Doing a scrub gesture returns me to the list 
 of Across clues. So far, so good.
 
 However, I can’t find a way to hear the Down clues with the same

 Reverse Direction option, but whether I simply touch that option or

Facebook Removed Like Action

Has anyone noticed this in the Facebook app? You used to be able to flick down 
to like or react to a post. Now those are gone and you seemingly have to go 
into the actual post to like or react to it.

Is this just me? I don’t get why they’d make this change.

Lol that’s so false — the only reason third party apps were disabled is because 
Twitter couldn’t show ads through the API and Twitter is bleeding money. Has

Re: Orbit Writer

2022-03-26 Thread Brandon Olivares
I just wanted to reply to this because I just got the Orbit Writer and have
been playing around with the settings.

These are the options that worked best for me:

Braille input: contracted (automatically translate)
Typing feedback: words

I find it gets way less confused when I have it on words. Backspace doesn't
tell me every character, but if I backspace through an entire word, it'll
tell me the word I just deleted, so it works fine for me.

It now works very reliably and I have not had any issues with it.

My wife is ambivalent about it so far, but I like it personally.

What Happened to This Game?

2020-10-28 Thread Brandon Olivares
I remember playing a game, I think it was called Mouse Kick, on the iPhone. It 
was really enjoyable, but now I can’t find it anywhere. Does anyone know if 
this game was discontinued? Or else renamed or something?

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: How accessible is an Apple watch

2020-06-16 Thread Brandon Olivares
I love my Apple Watch. It was my last big purchase before the pandemic lol.

I don’t do much on it either but it’s nice just to have. I like getting 
notifications on it as it’s easier to check them right on my wrist. I also love 
that I can text someone on my watch. And I enjoy occasionally using the walkie 
talkie feature to annoy my wife if she’s in a different part of the house.

Apple Watch Keeps Talking When Being Charged

OK for some reason my Apple Watch keeps unlocking and speaking the time 
randomly when it’s charging. Sometimes it’s every minute, sometimes every few 
minutes, it seems to have no rhyme nor reason as to when or why it does it.

Any ideas? It’s super irritating.

Re: AirPods Pro Volume Issue

Does it seem to be the same with transparency mode enabled, or do you have to

Weird thing is that it seems to be intermittent. I tested it out with my wife

AirPods Pro Volume Issue

2020-03-06 Thread Brandon Olivares
So every so often, people say that they have a really hard time hearing me when 
I am using my AirPods Pro on the phone, to the point where I have to repeat 
myself several times or speak very loudly in order to be heard.

Any idea why this might be or how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Brandon

Silent Mode on Apple Watch

Hi,

I just got an Apple Watch yesterday. I heard there was a silent mode, but I 
can't find how to enable it with Voiceover. I googled it and read you have to 
tap some bell icon, but Voiceover isn't telling me anything about that. What am 
I missing?

Thanks,

AirPods Pro Charger

Hi,

I’m about to order the AirPods Pro. However I saw a review on Amazon that said 
the charger is different and if you don’t have an iPhone 11, you need some 
special connector or something to plug in the charger. Is this true, and if so 
where can I get it?

Random Apps Stop Notifying

2019-08-22 Thread Brandon Olivares
I’ve had trouble with a few apps now where notifications stop being fired. I 
had the Discover app which used to notify me when I got a purchase, then one 
day just stopped. Now my Capital One app has also stopped sending notifications 
ever since I restarted my phone after it died the other day.

I go in to settings and it’s enabled, and all types of notifications are 
allowed. They just… don’t show up.

Any idea why this might happen?

Re: Aira

2019-01-27 Thread Brandon Olivares
David, you’re speaking of things you have no idea about.

I have Aira and love using it. No I don’t use it to describe a play or 
something, but quite ordinary things. Could I do these things in other ways? 
Sometimes yes, but far more inconveniently.

It used to take me forever to check the mail. Sure I could use SeeingAi or KNFB 
Reader, but it takes a long time because they aren’t so great with envelopes. 
Now I just call up Aira and they have it done for me in just a minute.

Or say there’s something I have to do online that’s inaccessible. Should I wait 
for a sighted person to be around? My wife and I, both visually impaired, live 
alone. So I could wait sometimes days to see a sighted person that I can ask 
for help. Why should I?

You’ve constructed quite a nice straw man there, but it’s not at all true.

Finally, I’m not unemployed, and in fact make quite a bit as a full time 
programmer. I’m not sure why so many blind people are unemployed, I certainly 
had no issue finding a job, but of course there are other circumstances. But 
there are plenty of us who are successful and who can subscribe to Aira, so why 
shouldn’t we? $199 isn’t so much at the end of the day.

Re: An Aria Update

2019-01-27 Thread Brandon Olivares
I agree with what you’re saying. I may also unsubscribe, as the only way to 
create change is to do something about it. If people complain and then proceed 
to do nothing, then nothing will change.

I’ve not been on this list long, but I think it’s hypocritical for Mark to 
share endless articles ad nauseam about topics only tangentially related to 
blindness, and then reprimand someone for discussing a service that is 
absolutely about blindness.

Seeing AI is better because it beeps when you're in the proximity of the 
barcode. The ID Mate, at least the one I had, gave no such indication, so it 
took a lot longer to find the barcode.

Re: Glasses

2018-05-04 Thread Brandon Olivares
Personally I really like Aira, though I don't need the unlimited. I generally 
use Aira to read my mail, and sometimes to do something on the computer that's 
inaccessible for me.

There are other apps that can do some of this, but I know from personal 
experience they aren't nearly as fast or as convenient as using Aira. I used to 
use Seeing AI for trying to read my mail, just reading the envelopes to know if 
it was important or not, and it took me probably two or three times the time as 
it does with Aira.

I do wish there were a cheaper option, as I find myself using it less and less 
frequently, but don't want to give it up altogether. I'm not sure if the $89 is 
worth it for how little I've been using it, so it'd be nice if they had one 
lower package.

Voice Messages Between iPhone and Mac

2017-09-26 Thread Brandon Olivares
Kind of a weird question I know, but I'm looking for an app for both iPhone and 
Mac that would let me send a voice message / announcement from my Mac to 
someone else's iPhone on the same network.

I know you can do this with Messages, but I mean something more akin to a 
walkie talkie where you can just press a button and talk back and forth.

I found an app called Echoes, and it works great on the Mac, but can't figure 
it out on the iPhone. Not very accessible.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
Brandon

How to Recognize an Image with Seeing AI?

2017-07-14 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hello,

I just got Seeing AI. I'm trying to make it recognize an existing image from 
Photos. I hit share, and Recognize with Seeing AI. A dialog pops up that says 
“Processing...” but then nothing. I let it go for several minutes.

Am I doing something wrong?

Brandon

Re: Navigating google sheets

2017-06-18 Thread Brandon Olivares
I've found that Google has great documentation, and usually just by googling 
the question, I can get to the proper documentation in a few seconds.

For instance, by googling how to insert links in Google Sheets, I found a 
document that said it's not possible on IOS, but you can do it on the computer.

Everything you mention is quite easy on the Mac. Actually the only one I've 
found to not be possible is to move rows or columns. But everything else is.

On the Mac, Google Drive and Google Docs are perfectly accessible using Chrome 
with Chromevox. It's also very accessible on the iPhone, if a bit slower to get 
things done in.

You have to put focus on the sheet itself by touching that area, then scroll 
down. It shouldn't take too many swipes since generally about 15 rows or so 
display at a time.

Re: Navigating google sheets

2017-06-15 Thread Brandon Olivares
Okay, basically put focus on the sheet, then scroll down (three fingers swipe 
up) until you are at the row you need. If you touch a cell, it'll announce the 
coordinates of that cell, and the contents of it.

Read the info you need, then to insert your link, double tap the cell, then 
immediately beneath the sheet you'll hear a field that says “formula bar”, and 
it'll say “text field”. Double tap on that and add your link. After you insert 
it, flick right and double tap on confirm.

Re: Navigating google sheets

2017-06-15 Thread Brandon Olivares
Basically you should be able to move your finger around the screen to read the 
rows and columns. If you want to edit one, I believe you double tap it, then 
there should be a text field at the bottom you double tap to edit.

Re: language learning apps accessebility

2017-05-27 Thread Brandon Olivares
Duolingo is definitely very accessible. I learned French using Duolingo, and 
now am learning German.

If you want to learn languages though, I really suggest Italki. They have 
language teachers there that aren't too expensive and you'll make progress a 
lot more quickly. With Duolingo combined with Italki, I've been making good 
progress with German.

AppleTV: Gesture to Go to Top of List?

2017-03-11 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hi everyone,

Not sure where to ask AppleTV questions, sorry. Hope this is okay.

Is there a gesture to go to the top of a list? I have DirecTV Now, and there 
are so many channels that it's a pain to try to go to the top so I can browse 
through them. Any shortcuts you know of?

DirecTV Now on AppleTV

2017-02-27 Thread Brandon Olivares
I just signed up for a trial of DirecTV Now. It seems pretty accessible so far.

I figured out mostly how to use the guide. But I have a few minor issues I'm 
having. Is there a tutorial or something out there for how to use it with 
voiceover?

Here are the issues I'm having:

1. On a channel, I noticed you can flick right to see what's currently playing. 
If you flick right again, its peaks another show name. I'm not sure what this 
signifies. Is it what's on next? Or something else?

2. How do you add something to your watch list? I haven't been able to figure 
this one out yet.

3. Any other tips I might be missing?

Thanks,
Brandon

Importing a PDF into KNFB Reader?

2016-12-03 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hi everyone,

Is it possible to import a PDF into KNFB Reader? I’ve been trying, but with no 
success. The PDF is not able to be read by Voiceover unfortunately.

Sorting Column in Numbers on IOS

2016-10-13 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hi everyone,

I’m trying to figure out how to sort a column in the Numbers app on IOS 10. 
According to the help, you should just be able to tap on the column label and a 
sort button should appear. But for the life of me, I cannot find that button, 
or any other buttons. All I see when I double tap the column label is a column 
width adjuster, column handle to reorder the columns, and another to change the 
selection.

Any idea what I’m missing?

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Before I get an iPhone 7

2016-09-18 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hi Tom,

3D touch is just basically a way of getting more information. Well it depends 
on the context. In messages, you can 3D touch the send button to send message 
effects. In most other contexts, 3D touch will give you a preview of the item 
you selected. It’s just basically pressing more firmly on the screen.

The major difference I’d say is the home button. Also I think the phone is a 
lot faster. Plus, the stereo speakers, which means that music tends to be 
louder.

I can’t think of any other major practical differences, but I do think the 
iPhone 7 is worth it.

I would suggest a new case. I think the phone is the same size, but I just 
think it odd to have a case with a spot for headphones, when there’s no 
matching jack in the phone. Instead, the cases for the iPhone 7 have a slot 
where the headphone jack used to be, because I believe there is a second 
microphone in that area.

Brandon

Muffled Voiceover

2016-09-16 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hi everyone,

My wife just got her iPhone 7. It sounded okay at first, but in the middle of 
setup, she received a phone call.

Now the voice sounds muffled, as though she’s on the phone and on speaker.

We’ve tried restarting the phone, and several other things, but it isn’t 
working. Any idea what I could do?

Brandon

Mail Doesn't Sync Between Computer and Phone

2016-09-16 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hi everyone,

I’m using a Macbook Air with OS 10.11. I’m also on IOS 10 on my iPhone.

I notice that if I delete emails on my computer, they remain on my phone. But 
if I delete them on my phone, they are deleted on my computer.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be the case? It is quite annoying, and 
I’d prefer for it to sync both ways.

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: the sleep tab in the health ap... a few questions?

it knew when I went to sleep, but not sure how. I want to know how to let it

Transferring My Content

2016-09-14 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hi everyone,

I’m getting my iPhone 7 this Friday.

It’s been two years since I’ve gotten a new phone, so I don’t remember the best 
way of transferring my content.

Any suggestions? My best guess is doing an iCloud backup?

Re: recording apps

2016-06-08 Thread Brandon Olivares
I use Dropvox. It automatically uploads recordings to Dropbox. And, I don’t 
think there’s a recording limit. I’ve recorded for an hour at a time before 
without an issue.

You just double tap the button to start recording, then double tap again to 
stop.
