Re: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

2024-05-02 Thread Chris Chaffin



Is your subscription with Bookshare up to date?
I accidentally let mine expire, and that is how things looked to me if I 
accessed it through Voice Dream.  Once I renewed my subscription, the download 
buttons reappeared.

I am running the most recent update.  I just checked and I have the download 
buttons.

Re: App Store and Updating Apps

2024-04-24 Thread Chris Chaffin

I have never had to enter a password to update an app.After doing some research into this, I found out a couple of things.For one person, they turned off screen time in settings, and this allowed them to then download app updates without having to enter their password.I do not know if this setting is still there since I do not own an iPhone SE, but one person reported that going to settings, Touch ID, and turn off iTunes and Apps fixed their issue with updating apps.I do not know if it will apply in your circumstance, but the biggest cause to this that I could find is when people had apps on their phone that was downloaded with multiple Apple IDs.Wish I could have found a definite fix, but hopefully one of the above will help your issue.ChrisOn Apr 24, 2024, at 2:47 PM, Mike B.  wrote:

Sirius XM, Reordering favorites

2024-04-11 Thread Chris Chaffin

For Sirius XM users.

there is an update available that now lets you organize your favorites in the 
Library.

After going to the Library tab, you will see an edit button near the top.

If you hit the edit button, it will put your favorites in a numbered list. You 
can reorder them in any way you want. Just do a double tap and hold on the one 
you want to move, and then slowly drag your finger up or down on the screen. 
You will hear a beep like sound every time you move up or down one spot.

Once done just make sure to hit the save button near the top.

Please note: You will have 2 favorites that just say reorder and not have a 
title. These are the first 2 buttons, new episodes and my episodes. Not sure 
why they are part of the favorite list, but there is nothing you can do about 
them except move them down the list. They can not be deleted.

One last thing. After hitting the save button, if you try swiping down the 
screen, voiceover for some reason no longer sees your list of favorites. But do 
not worrzay. Just go to a different tab at the bottom of the screen, then go 
back to the library and all will be back to normal.

Hope this helps.

Chris

In the search results, double tap on the channel you want to add. On the channel screen, you will find a Add to Library button. Double tap it to Add. At that time the button will then change to Remove from Library. 4, Just like Apple Music, Sirius XM now has a player screen that can be maximized and minimized. You can only maximize it once you start playing the channel. The player screen is where you will find all of the options and controls for that channel. To maximize the player: After you start playing the channel, go back to the top of the screen. If you do not hear, maximize player, then just swipe left until you do. Once you hear maximize player, double tap it and the player screen will appear. Now at the top will be a minimize player button. 5, On the player screen, the controls you will fine will depend on the type of channel you are playing. Music Channels. Most music channels have different DJs hosting their own show. As you swipe across the player screen, it will list the current show and the time frame of that show. After that you will find just a time listed. If it is the current time, then you are listening live. But the time listed will be within the time frame of the show. On the Player screen, you can rewind / fast forward within the time frame of the show, and you can even restart the show. For example, I started a music channel at 9 Am. The time frame of the show was from 7 Am to 11 Am. The current time was listed because I was listening live. I then hit the restart button, and it instantly started playing the show at the beginning. I then checked the time on the player and it said, 7 AM. That is because that show started at 7, and I just went back to the beginning. If you go to the very bottom of the player screen you will find a view more menu button. In here you can set a reminder for that show, turn a sleep timer on, or send feedback. If you swipe left going back up the screen you will find: A go live button. Remember I restarted the show, but if I hit the Go Live button, it will instantly jump me back to what is currently playing live on that channel. Restart button, this restarts the show. If it is a DJ / show that you like, but came in on the middle of it, then you might want to restart it and listen to it in its entirety. Rewind, play, fastward buttons, These are your common buttons. When playing, the play button becomes a pause button. And you can use the 2 finger double tap to stop / restart playing a channel. Please note: If you pause a channel, then restart it, then it will just continue playing where it left off. in order to restart it where it is currently, then you will have to choose the Go Live button.Sports games and Talk Shows. With Sports Games and Talk Shows, the Playing screen has an additional control that I really like. Just like in Podcast, for Sports games and Talk Shows, it divides things up into chapters. So you can jump around however you like, up to what is being playing live. The only difference is that instead of chapters, they call them segments. For example, in a baseball game, lets say that you were able to listen to the first 3 innings, but had to go do something, and when you were done, the game was in the 6th or 7th inning. No problem. You can just go to this segment control, it will list all of the innings of the game. You just go to the inning where you left off and double tap. You will then be starting at that point. In all sporting events, you can jump around as long as the event is on air. But you are not able to play a sporting event after it is over.Now for talk shows you can jump the same way, but in addition, they save at least the last five shows, so you can listen to any of them on demand. You can even download them if you want.To access the

innings, but had to go do something, and when you were done, the game was in 
the 6th or 7th inning. No problem. You can just go to this segment control, it 
will list all of the innings of the game. You just go to the inning where you 
left off and double tap. You will then be starting at that point. In all 
sporting events, you can jump around as long as the event is on air. But you 
are not able to play a sporting event after it is over.

Now for talk shows you can jump the same way, but in addition, they save at 
least the last five shows, so you can listen to any of them on demand. You can 
even download them if you want.

To access the Segment control. It is normally near the top of the player 
screen, but just swipe until you hear, view segments. If you double tap that, 
then a screen will pop up with all of the different segments that you can 
choose to jump to. Again, this is a great feature.

Other than a couple of those buttons not be labeled sometimes, I find the rest 
of the app totally accessible and easy to use.

I hope this has been helpful.

Voice Dream Email List for users

2024-04-03 Thread Chris Chaffin

In an effort to build better communication with the community, the developers 
of Voice Dream have created an email list for users to join.

This list is for discussing problems and bugs, future features and interest, 
etc.

They have admitted that their communication in the past was not good. Now they 
have went on the Living Blindfully podcast with Jonathan, and now created this 
email list. I would say that this is definitely a step in the right direction.

If you would like to join the list, just send an email to: 
voice-dream+subscr...@groups.io

Re: Please submit feedback to Apple about Voice Dream Reader

2024-04-02 Thread Chris Chaffin

Hi Dennis,I was actually surprised that they came on Jonathan's podcast, and to me, that says a lot that they did.  Plus, the developer did admit that they handled things in the wrong way and actually apologized for it.I do not think the developers are use to a community that expects engagement and communication like we do.  To me, from the interview, it sounded like the developers were surprised that they did not hear from the community more often requesting features.  For example, they looked into adding the personal voice feature to the app, but since no one really requested it, they concluded that the community did not want it.  But what they should have done is posted something to the community on AppleVis / Social Media asking if anyone was interested in that feature.I know that at least one person has recommended to them that maybe they should look at starting an email list.  That way, they could use it as a way of keeping in direct touch with the community.  I personally think this is a good idea.  It would be a central place where the developers and the community could engage with each other.Like you said, the future will tell us the story.ChrisOn Apr 2, 2024, at 12:12 PM, Dennis Long  wrote:Chris I tend to agree with you.  Now lets be clear they need a lesson in communication their communication skills are total shit.  You never ever under any circumstance let the user base define your changes.  You get out in front of it.  I will give them a few months to see if they  do what they say.  I may even subscribe for the year and see if they do what they say.  The interview with Jonathan Mosen they seemed liked they cared.  They did a terrible job of getting front facing and being out in front of issues. From: viphone@googlegroups.com  On Behalf Of Chris ChaffinSent: Tuesday, April 2, 2024 10:36 AMTo: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: Re: Please submit feedback to Apple about Voice Dream Reader Hi Grant, I agree that not being able to add more to the VDR library is not leaving the app to function the same way.  But a couple of thoughts. 1, Since the subscription model has already been added and Apple did approve it, I would conclude that Apple will not be rejecting the start of the subscription.  There is now a subscription button in settings that people are using to subscribe. 2, If for some reason Apple stops the subscription from going through as is, then I would say that there would be a good chance that VDR might disappear for good.  Without the funds to properly support the app, the developers will just stop developing it and take it out of the app store. If you think back, there has been several updates over the last year.  Whether the update is adding a new feature, updating it to work with a new iOS release,  or just finding the cause of bugs and fixing them, it all takes time, and time cost money.  I have actually been surprised that there have been so many updates. I am not happy about the subscription, but I use VDR on a daily basis, and I would also not be happy to see it go away.  there are just not any app that does all that I do with the app. Chris On Apr 1, 2024, at 3:36 PM, Grant Hardy  wrote:Hey Arnold, taking away the ability to add to the library is a fundamental change to the app, removing functionality I paid for.

You’re right, if they just let the existing app die on the vine, and they put out a new app, then it wouldn’t be much of a burden to them. I was assuming they’d still
 just have one app that would start including the new functionality for the subscribers but leave the existing functionality for the current users. This would require branches in the code, ongoing maintenance for those with the existing functionality and regression
 testing to make sure existing functionality didn’t break.
 
Again, you’re right. They couldn’t pull the app from the store and erase it from everyone phone, but if they just pivoted away from the app altogether because supporting
 it as is isn’t sustainable then what functionality would be impacted and how long would it be before it stopped functioning altogether? My point was that enforcing the guidelines won’t make a business model sustainable and keep a company afloat.
 
Sounds  to me like Winston had a great idea for an app, couldn’t keep putting food on the table the way things were, sold it to another company who’s also trying to make
 it work, and is now fumbling it’s way to get to a position where they can support a great app and make some money off of it as well. I just don’t see bad guys here, but rather developers trying to adjust to a changing market.
 
Sorry, I should have just left this alone. Like I said, I think y’all have a point about these guidelines, and I think you should definitely raise it with the developers
 and Apple. ,I know I may keep using the app if this all works out. If not, I’ve already gotten my money’s worth from Voice Dream, and I’ve already started  using alternatives.

Do not know if this will help, but try:
Go to voice over quick settings by doing a two finger quadruple tap.
Swipe down to system notifications and see if it is on or off.  If on, then

Re: Making everyone pay for voice dream

2024-03-26 Thread Chris Chaffin



What I think is that originally the new owners thought that they would have 
enough new subscribers to keep it going, and that is why they originally stated 
that current owners did not have to subscribe.  But now that a year has past, 
they did not get as many new subscribers as they planned, so in order to keep 
it going, they are having to make everybody subscribe, even those owners that 
existed when they bought the company.  

One thing to keep in mind is that the Mac version has always been a 
subscription, and that price is $60 a year.  If I remember correctly, Winston 
set that price when it was released.  All the owners are now doing is including 
the iOS app within that subscription.  So now for $60, you get both the iOS and 
Mac versions.

I do think Voice Dream is worth the subscription, especially if you are someone 
that uses it all the time.  I will say that there has been a lot of updates 
over the last year.  So the new owners are not just letting it sit and stay as 
it was when they got it.  The only thing is, I do wish they would give you an 
option to pay by the month.

Just so I am understanding correctly, are you saying that normally you can navigate inside a Dropbox folder by heading for each letter of the alphabet? The only headings I have within a folder is folders and files.  In order to go to a specific file, I have to just swipe until I get there.  This is on my iPhone.  I do not have an iPad mini.  And I tried every layout style choice.ChrisOn Mar 25, 2024, at 7:02 AM, Vicki W.  wrote:






Hi,
 
After updating my mini IPad 5 to the latest IOS

When inside a dropbox folder, even though I've 
changed nothing as far as settings, I can no longer go from numbers to letters 
and go between letters using the headings option in the rrotor. Anyone else had 
this issue and can it be fixed? 
 
Dropbox with the same Dropbox version is working

Re: taking part in a group chat

2024-03-25 Thread Chris Chaffin



I just tried it, and messages was not even in my app switcher.

I held down the side button and waited until after the Siri sound, then said, 
send message to family chat.
She asked me, what do you want to say?
I then told her to cancel it since I really did not want to send a message to 
the group.

The only thing is maybe Siri is not hearing the whole name of the group some 
how.  Are you holding down the side button, or saying hey S lady?
Does she repeat the name of the group back to you?  My group is made up of only 
four people counting myself, and the name of the group is not in my contacts, 
but everybody in the group are individually in my contacts.

Now I do not say, family group chat, or family chat group.  I just say, send 
message to family chat because that is the actual name.

I am also baffled why this is not working for you.  Now I did this running iOS 
17.4, and 17.4.1.  If you are running an earlier iOS version, that could 
possibly be it.

I have a family chat with my family.  If I want to send a message to the chat, 
all I do is tell Siri, send a message to family Chat.  She comes back and ask 
me what I want to say.  Just like it does when I want to send someone a message.

Hope this helps.

Re: Apps and Widgets

2024-03-09 Thread Chris Chaffin

Another thing I do with my widget stacks is try to put them in the order of how often I will be accessing them.  This way the most important one will always be on top.  But also keep in mind that while swiping through your stack of widgets, it does wrap around, so you can go in reverse order.  Another words you can swipe down on the first widget to get to the last one in your stack.For those new to home screen widgets, know that a lot of widgets can be customized after they have been added.  If you do a single finger triple tap, check the pop up menu for edit widget.  If it is there, then choose it to see how the widget can be customized.ChrisOn Mar 9, 2024, at 7:59 AM, Christopher Chaltain  wrote:







I did not know that, or if I did I forgot. Sorry I gave people the wrong impression in the message below. Prior to knowing this great tidbit, I would flick up or down to get to next or
 previous widget and double tap. I’d then have to retouch the widget to hear the new information. With your suggestion below, you’re right, this has got to be as easy as it is for a sighted person. I’ll need to consider if I want to use more stacks now. Thanks
 a ton for the correction and the information.

Thanks Chris,
I had figured out some of that, but the stack information is very helpful.
A tip: it is quicker to get to the various choices of widget sizes and so on by doing a three finger swipe from right to left.  As if you were flicking a page in a physical
 book.  And of course, to go back, three finger swipe left to right.
 
I may experiment with stacks once I decide what I want quick access to.
 
Thanks again,

You can have a widget on any of your home screens.  I personally have a widget stack on the first screen of my home pages, and I have a second stack on the second screen.


 


 


First, before adding a widget, you need to know the different sizes and how much of the home screen each one will take up.  Keep in mind, the smaller the widget, the less information it can display.  there are 3 sizes, they are:


 


1, small, covers a two by two grid on the home screen.


2, Medium, covers a four by two grid on home screen.


3, Large, covers a four by four grid on home screen.


 


Now, how to add a widget.


 


1, On the screen you want to add a widget, flick up on any app and choose edit.


2, In the top left of the screen double tap the add button.


3, Swipe down the list of widgets and choose the app you want to add a widget from.  Please note:  The first in the list are just recommendations, I would swipe on down until you get to where the alphabetical order list starts.


4, After double tapping on the app you want, you are put on the screen where you can find all of the widgets offered by that app.


5, Its best if you start at the bottom of the widget screen, so do a four finger single tap near the bottom to jump there.

Personally I have 4 widgets on my main home screen.First, is Fantastical with my calendar and reminders for the day.  My problem with reminders is that I would missthe notification or forget to check the app.  It works best for me if they are in front of me each time I unlock my phone.Next is the Drafts app, but any notes app will work for me.next, the batteries widget.And last is the weather app.Also know that double tapping on a widget opens the app, so that is one icon you no longer have to have on your home screen.I am an extensive user of Dropbox, and there are important files that I might need to access.  The large Dropbox widget puts the top 4 files or folders on the widget for quick access.  I mainly use folders so that way I just put my important files in the folders, star them, and they show up on the widget.  So when I need to quickly access the information, I just double tap on the folder on the widget, and the files immediately pop up in front of me, then I access the one I need.  Keeps me from opening the app and having to swipe and navigate to the folder then file.At first I did not think I would use widgets because I was not sure how to implement them to help me find out information more quickly.  But after I started using them, I learned how they can be of help, so I kept adding more.Everybody is different, but I do think widgets can help everybody if they just give them a try.ChrisOn Mar 8, 2024, at 9:06 AM, Richard Turner  wrote:Thanks Chris,I had figured out some of that, but the stack information is very helpful.A tip: it is quicker to get to the various choices of widget sizes and so on by doing a three finger swipe from right to left.  As if you were flicking a page in a physical book.  And of course, to go back, three finger swipe left to right. I may experiment with stacks once I decide what I want quick access to. Thanks again,  Richard, USA"At the moment of commitment, the universe conspires to assist you." -- Wolfgang Von Goethe  My web site: https://www.turner42.com/ Microsoft Windows Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3155) JAWS version 2024.2403.3  From: viphone@googlegroups.com  On Behalf Of Chris ChaffinSent: Friday, March 8, 2024 5:59 AMTo: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: Re: Apps and Widgets  You can have a widget on any of your home screens.  I personally have a widget stack on the first screen of my home pages, and I have a second stack on the second screen.  First, before adding a widget, you need to know the different sizes and how much of the home screen each one will take up.  Keep in mind, the smaller the widget, the less information it can display.  there are 3 sizes, they are: 1, small, covers a two by two grid on the home screen.2, Medium, covers a four by two grid on home screen.3, Large, covers a four by four grid on home screen. Now, how to add a widget. 1, On the screen you want to add a widget, flick up on any app and choose edit.2, In the top left of the screen double tap the add button.3, Swipe down the list of widgets and choose the app you want to add a widget from.  Please note:  The first in the list are just recommendations, I would swipe on down until you get to where the alphabetical order list starts.4, After double tapping on the app you want, you are put on the screen where you can find all of the widgets offered by that app.5, Its best if you start at the bottom of the widget screen, so do a four finger single tap near the bottom to jump there.6, The last thing on the screen is the close button.  Now swipe up to the left until you get to the pages.  This is how many different widgets you can choose from.  Now if you swipe one more time up to the left, you will get a description of the first widget and its size.6, If you want to see what else is available, or do not want the first choice, then flick down to the pages, and flick up until it changes to the next number.  Then swipe back up to the description and check it out along with the size.  Keep repeating this until you find the type of widget you want.7, Once you find the widget you want, just swipe down and choose the add widget button near the bottom of the screen.8, This should add your widget to the home screen, just hit the done button at the top to get out of edit mode. A stack of widgets. If you want more than one widget, the best thing to do is create a widget stack.  This will conserve realistate on your home screen.  Here is how I create or add widgets as a stack. After placing your first widget where you want it.  Now it is time to add one to it to create a stack. 1, To make things easier and to keep things from getting confusing, go to your last home screen.2, Start edit mode, go pick out your next widget, and add it to your last home screen.3, After it has been added, it is just like moving an app.  flick up on the widget and choose drag.3, Go to your first widget, flick up and choose add to stack.  This will place that widget on top of the first widget and create a widget stack.4,

You can have a widget on any of your home screens.  I personally have a widget stack on the first screen of my home pages, and I have a second stack on the second screen.First, before adding a widget, you need to know the different sizes and how much of the home screen each one will take up.  Keep in mind, the smaller the widget, the less information it can display.  there are 3 sizes, they are:1, small, covers a two by two grid on the home screen.2, Medium, covers a four by two grid on home screen.3, Large, covers a four by four grid on home screen.Now, how to add a widget.1, On the screen you want to add a widget, flick up on any app and choose edit.2, In the top left of the screen double tap the add button.3, Swipe down the list of widgets and choose the app you want to add a widget from.  Please note:  The first in the list are just recommendations, I would swipe on down until you get to where the alphabetical order list starts.4, After double tapping on the app you want, you are put on the screen where you can find all of the widgets offered by that app.5, Its best if you start at the bottom of the widget screen, so do a four finger single tap near the bottom to jump there.6, The last thing on the screen is the close button.  Now swipe up to the left until you get to the pages.  This is how many different widgets you can choose from.  Now if you swipe one more time up to the left, you will get a description of the first widget and its size.6, If you want to see what else is available, or do not want the first choice, then flick down to the pages, and flick up until it changes to the next number.  Then swipe back up to the description and check it out along with the size.  Keep repeating this until you find the type of widget you want.7, Once you find the widget you want, just swipe down and choose the add widget button near the bottom of the screen.8, This should add your widget to the home screen, just hit the done button at the top to get out of edit mode.A stack of widgets.If you want more than one widget, the best thing to do is create a widget stack.  This will conserve realistate on your home screen.  Here is how I create or add widgets as a stack.After placing your first widget where you want it.  Now it is time to add one to it to create a stack.1, To make things easier and to keep things from getting confusing, go to your last home screen.2, Start edit mode, go pick out your next widget, and add it to your last home screen.3, After it has been added, it is just like moving an app.  flick up on the widget and choose drag.3, Go to your first widget, flick up and choose add to stack.  This will place that widget on top of the first widget and create a widget stack.4, To add more widgets, just repeat the process.IN a widget stack, how to switch from one to another?With the widget stack in focus:Do a 3 finger swipe up to go to the next widget, and a 3 finger down to go to the previous widget.I try to add widgets to a stack in the orer I want them, to make it quicker to find the one I want.I use widgets on a daily basis, and it can make finding out information a lot quicker and without having to open the app.ChrisOn Mar 7, 2024, at 11:18 PM, Richard Turner  wrote:I wanted to add a Widget to my last page, but nothing worked.Do they have to be on the home page?I got the Weather Widget info which had 6 pages.Double tapping on any of those did nothing.There was a done button, but no widget showed up.iPhone 13 Pro.  Richard, USA"At the moment of commitment, the universe conspires to assist you." -- Wolfgang Von Goethe  My web site: https://www.turner42.com/ Microsoft Windows Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3155) JAWS version 2024.2403.3  From: viphone@googlegroups.com  On Behalf Of Mario EilandSent: Thursday, March 7, 2024 4:52 PMTo: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: RE: Apps and Widgets You get announcements such as it will start raining in 15 minutes at your location.  From: viphone@googlegroups.com  On Behalf Of Christopher ChaltainSent: Thursday, March 7, 2024 4:30 PMTo: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: RE: Apps and Widgets You can also get into edit mode by just flicking down once and double tapping. I have the weather widget in a stacked widget, and I hear “74 degrees, cloudy, high of 74 degrees, low of 64 degrees” when I touch the app, so I think Mario is right, and that’s what you need. I’m also wondering what you get when you turn on badges in the notifications for the weather app. --Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷Chaltain at Outlook, USA From: viphone@googlegroups.com  On Behalf Of Mario EilandSent: Thursday, March 7, 2024 5:40 PMTo: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: RE: Apps and Widgets HI Jim,If I remember correctly widgets were an option we could have on or turned off when we first set up our iPhones.

Re: How can i add a email adress to my contacts from a i message

2024-01-16 Thread Chris Chaffin



You can follow the directions in the message below, but instead of choosing 
create new contact, you would choose add to existing contact.  If the iMessage 
was sent with an email address, then after choosing the contact, it will 
automatically add it to that contacts information.

You can only add an email to a contact if the iMessage was sent using an email 
address.

Re: How can I make Voiceover output through attached Bluetooth speaker?

2023-12-31 Thread Chris Chaffin

This is what the audio destination is for on the rotor, but the last time I tried it, it was not working properly.  It is one of those rotor settings that shows up when necessary.  But that is the problem I have with it.  it does not show up in my rotor when audio is playing and connected to a bluetooth device.there is another setting in voiceover / audio, and lets you set the audio destination for both speech and sound.  But again, turning on or off the speech destination to the phone or bluetooth device makes no difference.  By the way, I have trouble just flicking to this setting on that screen, but after double tapping on audio, if you do a four finger tap at the bottom of your screen to go to the bottom, then you will land on it since it is the last setting on the screen.So there are current settings that is suppose to do what you want, but unfortunately, it seems to me that they are currently out of order.ChrisOn Dec 31, 2023, at 9:32 AM, Alan Lemly  wrote:Hi List, Apologies for revisiting a previously discussed topic but as you know, audio changes with these devices seem constant and not usually for the better in my opinion.

I suspect the answer might vary depending on the speaker being used. What I’m currently experiencing is that Voiceover is coming through the iPhone’s built in speakers and audio from a book playing in BARD Mobile or other media content such as music comes through the attached Tribit speaker. Is there some sort of setting tweak I can make that will get me where I want? I welcome any suggestions or recommendations to resolve this and thanks in advance for your help. Alan Lemly

Re: Audio description on Hulu through Apple TV app on the iPad

2023-12-20 Thread Chris Chaffin



That is the frustrating thing about audio description.  Just because something 
is described with one streaming service does not mean that it will be described 
with another.  I myself think this should be changed.

The problem is with the licensing of the audio description.  It seems that the 
audio description is licensed separately than the movie or show itself. So a 
streaming service might be licensed to show the movie or tv show, but not 
licensed to include the audio description.

I think the audio description and its movie or tv show should come as one 
package.  If you license the movie or tv show, the audio description should 
automatically be included.  The same thing goes for something shown live with 
audio description, but then offered to watch on demand without audio 
description.  So again, something really needs to be done about audio 
description and how its distributed.

Re: My Analysis Of the SiriusXM and StarplayrX Apps

2023-12-15 Thread Chris Chaffin



to me, the easiest way of using the SiriusXM app is by adding all of the 
stations that you want to favorites.  So my favorites is the only thing I 
access unless there is a new station I am looking for.  And then after 
searching what I am looking for, I then add that one to my favorites.  I do 
this because I have always found the screens in the app to crowded and not the 
easiest to navigate.

I have not investigated yet, but I wonder if the Siri addition is so you can 
use Siri to play a particular station through the app?  If so, this would be 
extremely helpful, and make it so you would very rarely have to navigate the 
app. 

As far as stopping the play of something, I have not tried this yet, but how 
about this:
1, If you have a 14 or 15 Pro, you should be able to use the dynamic island on 
the face of your phone.
2, What if you just tell Siri to stop.  Will she stop playing it. 
3, Will the play controls work on the today screen after hitting the side 
button when the phone is locked? 
4, If you have an Apple Watch, you should be able to stop it with the now 
playing screen.  I normally have a now playing icon near the top of my watch 
screen when playing something, but if not, I can find it in the watch app 
switcher.

Re: backdating

2023-11-26 Thread Chris Chaffin

Yes, unfortunately the same issue is on the Apple Watch, but the watch does not have the same setting.  there is a couple of things that I do to help things with my watch.First, after flicking to what I want to double tap on, I wait a few seconds before double tapping, and you have to double tap in a quick way if possible.  Sometimes if I double tap near a bottom cornor, it seems to help me.  But that could be just me.Another thing I have done has turned on the hand gestures.  This lets me do a hand gesture to do a double tap instead of having to touch the screen.  I think it is clenching your hand into a fist one time, but you can set the gesture you want for the double tap.  This setting can be accessed in the watch on your phone;  settings, accessibility, voiceover, hand gestures, the last setting under voiceover.Of coarse, I am using an Apple Watch 6, so the Ultra 2 might have settings that are a little different.Hope this has been a little helpful.Chris ChaffinOn Nov 26, 2023, at 12:20 AM, Sieghard Weitzel  wrote:

I find at times I have the same issue on my Apple Watch Ultra 2.it is definitely changed

This might be the setting that you are refering to, but I was experiencing the same thing, and I went to Settings, Accessibility, Voiceover, and at the bottom of that screen you will find, Double Tap Time Out.  If you go into there and
 set it to 0.50 or more.  I did this, and it totally did away with the problem.

Yes, this is certainly a bit of an issue for me as well although it is not as bad as in the beginning and it’s almost gone in iOS 17.2 which as I said should be out maybe not next week, but the week after that.
Anyways, downgrading is not possible any more so you’ll have to put up with it until it gets fixed, hopefully you wrote to Apple Accessibility and request in strong but nice words that this really needs to be fixed.

The time to go back to iOS 16 has long passed, this is only possible for a short while after a major new version of iOS comes out, but Apple stops signing the older versions usually after a few weeks. Having said this, which iPhone do you
 have and what exactly are you not happy about with iOS 17? iOS 17.2 is probably being released in the next couple of weeks and it takes care of a few more issues and with the exception with the double tap sometimes registering as a single tap, I have very

Downgrading an iPhone From iOS 17 to iOS 16 is No Longer Possible
Wednesday October 4, 2023 9:17 pm PDT by 
Joe Rossignol
Following the release of iOS 17.0.3 earlier today, Apple has stopped signing iOS 16.6.1,
iOS 17, and iOS 17.0.1, preventing iPhone users from downgrading to any of those software versions. Apple continues to sign iOS 17.0.2 for now.
Notably, this means that it is no longer possible to downgrade an iPhone from iOS 17 to iOS 16. It is not possible to downgrade to iOS 16.7.
Apple routinely stops signing older iOS releases over time in order to prevent users from downgrading to previous software versions.
iOS 17.1 is expected

Re: Be My AI and what it may teach us?

2023-11-14 Thread Chris Chaffin



I have considered the same thing when it comes to not only my wife, but also 
both of my kids.  there is a couple of things you can do.

First, keep a picture of your husband on your phone and mark it as a favorite 
in your photos so it is easy to find.
Second, ask a couple of family members to give you a description of your 
husband.  You can make a note of it, and you can then add a brief description 
to your photo, so if you ever have to access that picture, a brief description 
will be with it.
Hopefully you will never need this info, but one last detail that will be asked 
is their height and weight.  So to know an estimate of those could also help.

Re: 17.1 just made iOS worse

2023-10-27 Thread Chris Chaffin

I just played with this a little and I learned something.If I am using the phone speaker, then it does the haptic vibrations instead of the sound when pressing the button for Siri.  But if I am wearing my Airpods, then I do hear the sound.So the sound is still there, but it is turned off for some reason when using the phone speaker.I do think Siri just has hiccups from time to time.  I experienced this no matter what version of iOS I was running.For best results, wait 2 to 3 seconds after pressing the side button before issuing the command.I just asked Siri to open 5 or 6 different apps back to back, and she did them all perfectly.  And one of those was mail, of which I opened multiple times.One tip:You can train Siri to listen and understand you better.Go to Settings, Siri and Search.Even though I previously had this set to on, when updating to iOS 17.1, it turned off the listen for Siri.Just tap on Siri, hey siri, or both siri and hey siri to turn it on and do the practice speaking.After hitting the continue button, it will give you 5 short siri commands.  It will read the command to you, then you are to repeat them.  Once done, you are all set.Hope this helps.Chris ChaffinOn Oct 27, 2023, at 11:17 AM, Richard Turner  wrote:I just said “Siri, open mail” and it opened mail, three times in a row successfully. I don’t know why they thought it was a good idea to remove the sound when holding in the side button, but that is one that writing accessibil...@apple.com and providing feedback through www.apple.com/feedback is a good idea.Richard, USA.“Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.”  --  Jane Wagner from The Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe My web site: https://www.turner42.com From: viphone@googlegroups.com  On Behalf Of Steve MatzuraSent: Friday, October 27, 2023 7:46 AMTo: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: 17.1 just made iOS worse I've been waiting for 17.1 to come out to hopefully fix bugs I'd heard about and preferred not to experience.

Re: Resetting VoiceOver back to default iPhone iOS 17.0.2

2023-09-28 Thread Chris Chaffin



You can reset your home screen, but I am not sure it will do what you are 
looking for.  This will reset your home screen, getting rid of any folders that 
you created, then listing your apps in alphabetical order.

I am assuming that it is the same in ios 17 as it is in ios 16.  If so,to reset 
home screen, go to settings, general, transfer and reset, choose reset, and you 
will see reset home screen as one of the choices.

Hope this helps.

Re: Some issues with the iPhone 14 Pro and iOS 17

2023-09-19 Thread Chris Chaffin



I am running the latest version of ios 16 on an iPhone 14 Pro without a 
problem.  I have been using an iPhone 14 Pro since last November, and I have 
never had a problem accessing the status bar.
Typically, the dynamic island is in the top center of the screen.  The time is 
to the left of the dynamic island, and the cell, wi-fi, and battery level is on 
the right.  So as you swipe across the status bar, the dynamic island will be 
one of the items you cross going from one side of the status bar to the other.  
The dynamic island is the center of the status bar.

Now, if you are running ios 17, then it possibly could be a voice over issue 
with ios 17.  Its not a problem with the actual phone, but could be a software 
issue.

I agree with Richard, I think it would be a good idea to call Apple 
Accessibility.

Re: Creating a phone shortcut

2023-08-12 Thread Chris Chaffin

This is not difficult, and actually the shortcuts app sometimes recommends people from your contacts to call for a shortcut.  But what I have done is to create a fake contact,then createthe shortcut.  All you have to do is download the shortcut, change the contact to whoever you want from your contacts, and then put it on your home screen.I have put a link below to download the shortcut.  And after that, I put the instructions you need to complete the task.Just so people will know,you only use one shortcut action to make this shortcut, and that is the call action.OK, here is the download link for the shortcut.  The instructions will be after the link. Callicloud.comAfter you have downloaded the shortcut.  Open the shortcuts app and it should be in your list of shortcuts.  Actually it should be the first one.To edit the shortcut, double tap on the shortcut name.On the next screen, swipe until you get to test person.  This is the name of the fake contact I added to the shortcut.Flick up or down and choose edit contact.This will bring up a list of your contacts.  Just double tap on the one you want to add to the shortcut.Then, just go back to the top and double tapthe done button.You are now back on the screen of the list of your shortcuts.Swipe to the name of the shortcut and do a triple tap on it.From the pop up menu, choose details.From that menu, choose add to your home screen.Just hit the done button and your done.Chris Chaffin t   On Aug 12, 2023, at 11:40 AM, Dennis Long  wrote:I think this can be done.  This would be awesome.-Original Message-From: viphone@googlegroups.com  On Behalf Of Wayne MerrittSent: Friday, August 11, 2023 10:54 PMTo: viphone Subject: Creating a phone shortcutGreetings all. I would like to create a shortcut to appear on my home screen to call a specific phone contact or favorite. For the record, I don't use Siri hardly at all, except to call my wife. It occurred to me today that I could probably add a shortcut or contact to my home screen to do this, and then I would be able to disable Siri completely. I realize Siri is an everyday life line for many, and I have no problem with that. I have my reasons for not using Siri, and for the record, I informed an Apple representative once when I was talking to them about another issue, and they said they would pass my feedback along to the Siri team. Anyway, I am very much a novice shortcut user. I have only used shortcuts for a small handful of things.

Re: Listing appointments in the native iOS Calendar

2023-07-14 Thread Chris Chaffin

If Iunderstand you correctly, you are looking for a list of dates that just have appointments, and you can jump from day to day by heading.  This is  the closest you will get to a list of appointments.OK, lets start from the beginning.  So hit the back button until you do not have one.  And yes, list should be selected.The current year, 2023, should be at the top as a heading.  Just swipe to July and double tap.On the next screen you will have the months listed with the days after the month title.  So swipe to the 14th of July and double Tap.Now you should be on a screen where each day is a heading.  Move from day to day by using headings on the rotor.Days without an appointment should be skipped.I will warn you.  When navigating by heading, sometimes voiceover jumps around, but this does not happen if you swipe through the days.Hope this is helpful.Chris   On Jul 14, 2023, at 3:16 PM, Wayne Merritt  wrote:Good day.

Re: Does any one know how i can import my podcasts in to down cast from over cast?

2023-06-26 Thread Chris Chaffin

After exporting the OML file from Overcast, you then go to that file, pull up the share sheet by choosing to share it, then choose Downcast from your options.  It will then automatically open the file in Downcast, and all of your podcast will be listed in Downcast.  This is what I did myself.ChrisOn Jun 26, 2023, at 9:14 AM, Mickey Quenzer  wrote:

And investigating this further, I don’t see how to import your podcasts into Downcast. There is an import media button, but that doesn’t seem to ask for an file.
So I’m not really sure. Sorry about that I wish I could have figured it out!

Re: Vision Pro Headset and accessibility from Mac Rumors

2023-06-11 Thread Chris Chaffin

What if we could use apps like Envision A I, Seeing A I, Be My Eyes, or Aira 
with this device?  And this is just the start.  We do not know what apps might 
be developed in the future.  No one can say exactly what will happen, but the 
potential is definitely there.

And I agree, the price is expensive.  But so is other tech like the Envision 
Glasses for $2,500 to $3,500, and the Orcam for over $4,000.  I think both of 
these devices are good ones and offers a lot of help to many people.  But this 
new Vision Pro from Apple has the potential of being so much more than either 
of these devices for around the same price.

 If you want to learn more about it, Mac Rumors has an article with links

Re: Is The Sirius XM App for iOS VoiceOver Accessible?

2023-05-05 Thread Chris Chaffin



For an echo, you can just use the channel number to when asking to play a 
SiriusXM channel.
For example, to play channel 8, just say, A Lady, play SiriusXM channel 8.
I just tested this on mine to make sure it still worked.  Now the channel name 
will also work, but not necessary.  Plus, I like using the channel number 
better.  It understands what you want better and you will have less trouble.

Re: I Am Trying to Remember the Name of an Audio Description app for iOS, Please Help

2023-04-05 Thread Chris Chaffin



There use to be an app called Actiview.  It would sync up with a movie on your 
TV or at the theater and play the audio description.  I believe Spectrum bought 
the app and turned it into what is now called Spectrum Access.  Spectrum Access 
supplies the audio description for several TV shows as well as many movies.  
Like Actiview, it will sync to a movie that you are playing on your TV.  I do 
not think it has any movies that are currently at the theater.

The Spectrum Access app is totally free, and you do not have to be a Spectrum 
customer to use it.  It is available to everyone.

Hope this helps.

Re: Looking for mail app that can filter messages

2023-03-18 Thread Chris Chaffin

By filters, I am assuming that you mean message rules, where certain messages would go in particular folders depending on how the rule is set up.  Is this correct?Now the iOS mail app does filter messages, but not in the way I think you are talking about.  When in a folder, like your inbox, at the bottom of the screen, you will find a toggle filter button.  If you double tap this, this will turn on the iOS filtering, and another filter button will appear.  That button will let you choose the type of filtering you want.  In the iOS mail app, you can filter by things like, by messages that are unread, messages with attachments, messages that are flagged, and messages just received today.Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think by using the word filtering without giving any more details has given the wrong idea on what you are trying to do.As far as using message rules to filter your messages to different folders, you are correct, you can not set them up in the iOS mail app.  And actually, I do not know of any iOS app that lets you actually set them up.  It has been stated on list before that you can set message rules up on the GMail web site, and then they should show up in any iOS app that you use.  Since you have said that you have already tried this with no success makes me wonder.  I might look into this myself to see what is going on.Again, if you are not trying to set up message rules, please let us know.ChrisOn Mar 18, 2023, at 12:20 AM, Wayne Merritt  wrote:Please explain how to create filters in Apple native iOS app. I have created filters in the web-based version of Gmail but am having trouble doing so in Apple's Mail. WayneWayne MerrittJAWS Certified, 2023http://freedomscientific.com/certificationCheck out my GoodReads page:http://goodreads.com/waynesbooksOn Mar 17, 2023, at 6:10 PM, Steve Matzura  wrote:Can't filter messages?

Share Sheet

2023-03-09 Thread Chris Chaffin



I have a question about the share sheet and the suggested apps displayed on it.

I had a scanned PDF file that I wanted to send to Seeing A I, but it was not 
listed anywhere in the share sheet. And I looked under the more button and the 
edit button and it was not listed.

I just do not understand how it is determined what apps show up in the share 
sheet. I did Google it, but all I could find out is that it goes on the usage 
of the app in question. But again, this does not make sense to me.

For example.
The main app I use is Seeing A I, but it is not listed, and it seems that there 
is no way to add it to the share list. Now Supersense is listed, but I do not 
remember the last time I used that app. Envision is also listed, but it has 
been months since I have used that one. So why is not the main app I use not 
listed?

One more point, it says it suggest apps based on usage. Well, I have the 
Bitwarden app, but have never used it, but guess what, it is listed, why?
The Apple Books app is listed, but again, never used it, so why is it listed?

I can not see any logic to how apps are chosen to be in the share sheet, and 
one of the main apps I use multiple times a week is not listed and it seems 
that there is no way to add it.
I think Apple should give us more control on what is listed in the share sheet.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Chris

Re: Apple Music

2023-03-05 Thread Chris Chaffin

Hi,

First question, is your Apple Music a single subscription or family 
subscription?  Your wife would only be able to access it if you have a family 
subscription.
You could check settings under your name, you will find subscriptions, or if 
you know what you pay, single subscription is $10.99, family subscription is 
$16.99.

Re: Important, No Text Verifications

2023-03-05 Thread Chris Chaffin

My carrier is Verizon, but I would think this could happen with any carrier 
that use spam filters to catch as much spam as they can.  The Representative 
told me that there was something that was not turned on for my account that 
should have been.  I was told that this should not happen anymore.  Maybe that 
is true, but my confidence is not 100%.

For anyone that experiences this, the first thing they should do is to do the 
normal restarts, check all of the necessary settings, and do a network restore, 
because our phones do have unexplained clitchs, and one of these might be the 
problem.  After I exhausted all of this, I then called my carrier and talked to 
the technical support department.  I am now kind of glad it was my carrier, 
because if it wasn't, then I was totally out of ideas.

Solved my issue.

It was my carrier.  For some reason they blocked those verification text 
messages.  All is back working like it should.  The representative said that it 
should never happen again, but I am not holding my breath!

Re: Important, No Text Verifications

2023-03-04 Thread Chris Chaffin



Yes, everytime I hit the continue or send verification button, a screen comes 
up with the edit box and the submit button.

All other text messages come through just fine.  And I do not have anything 
muted, so all sounds are on.
The only thing I do not know is if I am able to receive sms messages because I 
do not know anyone with an android phone.  But I do have sms and mms turned on 
in settings.

And lastly, one of these sites is the Social Security Administration, and they 
do not give you a choice of an email.  A text message is your only choice.

2023-03-04 Thread Chris Chaffin

Hi,

All of a sudden, I am not able to receive verification codes for logging into 
websites like for banking. At first, I thought it might be an issue with the 
website, but this happens to me on multiple sites.

These sites do not have apps to access your information, so I am forced to go 
through their site. And without being able to receive the verification codes, I 
can not access my accounts. Again, this is on multiple sites.

This is what I have tried so far.
1, Restarting my iPhone.
2, Doing a forced restart of my iPhone.
3, Made sure both sms and mms are turned on in the settings.
4, Checked to make sure the numbers are not in my block list. Actually at this 
moment, I have no numbers in my block list.
5, Reset my network settings.
6, Made sure I have both wi-fi and cell connections.

These sites send you a verification code by text and that is how you finish the 
log in process. And the text message is the only choice.

I am out of ideas, so I wanted to see if anyone else ever had this issue, or if 
anyone had any ideas of what else it could be. Getting on to these sites are 
important, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

By the way, I am running 16.3 on an Iphone 14 Pro.

Thanks,

Chris

Important, Voice Dream Reader

2023-02-26 Thread Chris Chaffin



Important. The new feature of Voice Dream Reader of adding text blocks to PDF 
documents is not accessible for Voiceover users. This was not made accessible 
purposely by Winston because he did not understand how a Voiceover user would 
use this feature. It is important that all users of the Voice Dream Reader app 
contact Winston to request that he makes this feature accessible and to let him 
know how you would use this feature.

You can contact Winston at:
supp...@voicedream.com

For those who missed the update. Here is what it said in the app store.

New feature: Adding text blocks in PDF documents. Now you can answer questions 
in a worksheet or exam, and submit your answers all from within Voice Dream 
Reader. To add a text block, tap and hold on an empty area and then tap on "Add 
Text Block". You can change the font, point size, and you can move it and 
resize it.


Thanks,

Chris

2023-01-28 Thread Chris Chaffin

They have 2 type of buttons for clothing.One is just like a normal button that you find on a shirt that has 2 button holes.  These would have to be sown on.  The packs of these buttons come with thread and other things needed for the sowing.The second, is about the size of a nickel and has a single hole in the center.  You can use a safety pin to attach them to your clothing.  Since I do not sew, this is what I personally use.ChrisOn Jan 28, 2023, at 10:30 AM, Barbara Stahl  wrote:So how do you attach the items to your clothing do you sew them on as you mentioned as possible in your email or do you use some other method do you have any trouble with them coming off in the washOn Jan 27, 2023, at 2:04 PM, R Van Lant  wrote:

WayAround is the app for your smart device that provides on-demand details about everyday things. The simple tag-and-scan approach lets you quickly and easily identify things
 around you. It also provides extra details, like how something works or when it expires.
The result? Doing more of the things you want, with more confidence and more independence.
 
With Information Rich Audio Tags
Sometimes the little things can cause the biggest frustrations. WayAround is great for all the places in your home or office where you'd like better information, faster. Since our tags come as magnets, buttons, clips, and stickers, you
 can put them just about anywhere.

Not exactly.  WayAround Tags are NFC tags that come in different forms; stickers, magnets, plastic clips, round buttons with a hole, etc.  So you are not scanning any codes.  Just hold the phone close to it, and it tells you what is on the tag.ChrisOn Jan 25, 2023, at 1:59 PM, Sieghard Weitzel  wrote:

I also like the WayAround WayTags.  I have been usingthemfor a a few years now.  Except for the stickers, I like the fact that the tags can be reused and never go bad.  So the initial cost can be a littlehigh, but since theyare reusable,
 thatcuts down on any future cost.

Re: CVS Pharmacy Spoken Rx for iOS and Android

2023-01-22 Thread Chris Chaffin

Hi Mark,

In accordance to Google, the CVS Spoken Rx uses RFID, radio frequency 
identification, to read a tag on your bottle.  I also found this Youtube video 
going over the program that you can check out.  The gentleman doing the video 
is also blind.

https://youtu.be/DtuY2YMjRFw

Hope this helps.

Re: creating lists in spring for twitter on iOS?

2023-01-21 Thread Chris Chaffin

The only way I know to create a list or add someone to it is by doing the following.1, Go to a tweet from who you want to add to a list.2, Flick op until you get to view author.  If you do not see it, double tap on more in that menu to bring up additional items.3, From that profile page, you will come to an actions button.  Double tap it.4, In the pop up menu, you will find add/remove from list.  If you do not have any list, the last item on this screen is create new list.So the only way I know to add someone to a list is from their profile page.Hope this has been helpful.ChrisOn Jan 21, 2023, at 9:08 PM, Adam Morris  wrote:

Re: Apple Watch Question

I think it is more a feature of the OS, not the version of watch.  I have a series 6 running OS 9.2 and it works for me.After starting the ECG app, touch near the bottom of the screen.It will first say, hold your finger on the crown, pause for a second, then say, magic tap for live audio.On that screen, if you do the magic tap, it will either say live audio on, or live audio off.  The magic tap is a toggle.Hope this helps.ChrisOn Jan 10, 2023, at 12:59 PM, rick.alf...@gmail.com wrote:Hi Richard.

Re: Apple Watch Question

2023-01-10 Thread Chris Chaffin

Hi Les,Do a two finger double tap on the watch face for a magic tap.Please know that the magic tap is a toggle for the live audio.  So after doing a magic tap, your watch will either say live audio on or live audio off.  I do not know what it is set to by default.  But if it says live audio off, just do it again to toggle it back on.Hope this helps.ChrisOn Jan 10, 2023, at 10:08 AM, kriegle...@gmail.com wrote:Hi All,I was taking my heart rate with the ECG app. I was asked to perform a Magic tap to activate live audio.

Re: Have you Gone Wireless, Yet?

2023-01-08 Thread Chris Chaffin



Battery life for bluetooth earbuds is going to range depending on brand and 
model.

I currently have the Airpods 2nd generation, and I am going on my third year 
using them, and I still get about 4 hours before having to charge them.  I only 
use both of them while listening to music, anything else, I only use one at a 
time.
Prior to my Airpods, I had an inexpensive pair that is actually still going, 
and I have had them about 8 years now.  I did not time it out exactly, but they 
always lasted at least 10 to 15 hours between charges.  I am not sure if they 
are even made anymore.  The only reason I went to the Airpods is because of 
their form factor.  I do not like earbuds that go all the way into the ear.

Since I do not like earbuds that fit all the way into the ear, I will probably 
be sticking with the Airpods as long as Apple continues to make them.

Re: Charging Your New Phone, Anyone?

2022-12-28 Thread Chris Chaffin



Optimized battery charging does not stop charging your battery once it reaches 
80%.  Instead, it slows down the charging process, and tries to go by your past 
charging habits to time it reaching 100% as close to when you normally take it 
off the charger.
So basically once it reaches 80%, it trickle charges slowly until it reaches 
100%.  This is how its always worked.

Now me personally, I keep my battery between 25% and 85%, because this does 
help prolong the life of your battery.  But I do this myself, it is nothing the 
battery optimization does for me.  My iPhone 11 Pro that I used until last week 
still had a battery life of 100% after 3 years of use.

In regards to the Battery optimization, here is an article from Apple Support 
explaining it.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210512

Hope this helps.

Re: App to tell walking speed

2022-12-20 Thread Chris Chaffin

I do not know of any apps, but you could get an estimate the old fashion way.
Take a 5 minute walk, and see how far you walk.
Then multiply that distance by 12, and that will give you an estimate of how 
far you would walk in an hour.

For example, if you walk a half of a mile in 5 minutes, then one half a mile 
times 12, is 6 miles.
So as long as you walk at that same speed, you are walking at 6 miles an hour.

Hope this helps.

Re: Dynamic Island on iPnone 14 pro and pro max

2022-12-14 Thread Chris Chaffin



Just like with Music, it will also work with podcast in the Overcast app.  If 
you start a podcast in Overcast, the name of the episode is then listed on the 
dynamic island, and if you either double tap it, or flick up and expand, the 
playback controls will pop up.

The carrot weather app also has things that will appear on the dynamic island, 
like when it is raining, it will put an umbrella on the dynamic island, and 
expanding it will give you more weather information.

The dynamic island is new, but with time, I think more and more apps will take 
advantage of its ability.

Re: Upgraded to iPhone 14 Pro and have questions

2022-11-08 Thread Chris Chaffin



Even though I can do those gestures, I am slow with them, and just got tired of 
having to try them multiple times before they would work.  So I just went to 
settings and changed them to something else that would be easier and quicker.
On the iPhone, you can change gestures to something else that is easier for you 
to do.  You just have to make sure that it is either a gesture that you do not 
use, or one that is not currently assigned to anything.

I personally did not use the two finger swipe left or the two finger swipe 
right.  So I made the two finger swipe left my gesture to go hone, and the two 
finger swipe right my gesture to go to the app switcher.
So I now do not have to worry about those slide up gestures at all.

Another gesture I did, was I assigned the four finger swipe down to go to the 
status bar.  So to go to the notification center, I do a four finger swipe 
down, then I quickly do a three finger swipe down.
All of this is just personal preference, but it is good that Apple does give us 
the opportunity to customize gestures the way that works best for us.

To customize gestures;
Go to Settings / Accessibility / Voiceover / Commands / touch, and in there you 
will find all of the current voiceover gestures, and the ability to change them 
to something else.
Again, I would not change any gestures that you currently use on a regular 
basis.

Hope this helps.

Chris

Re: clueless about emoji

2022-11-07 Thread Chris Chaffin

After double tapping on an edit field like for a text message or email, on the 
on screen keyboard, if you find the space bar and swipe one time to the left, 
it should say the next keyboard in your list of keyboards.  Most of the time 
this should be the emoji keyboard.

By double tapping this, will replace the qwerty keyboard with the emoji 
keyboard. You can then swipe through all of the different choices, and just by 
double tapping on the one you want will place it in the edit field at the place 
of the cursor.  So just make sure the cursor is where you want it inserted.

there is a search box where you can search for the emoji you want.  This can 
make finding the one you want a lot quicker and easier.

If emoji is not in your list of keyboards, no worries, it just means that it 
has not yet been added.  This can be done in the keyboard settings.  Just go 
to, Settings / General / Keyboards.
The first item on the screen should be a number of how many keyboards you have 
installed.  Just double tap on that number.
On the next screen it will list the keyboards that you currently have 
installed, then the last item is to add a keyboard.
If you choose add keyboard, it will then list the keyboards available to 
install.  Just choose emoji to install it and add it to your list of keyboards. 
 After it is installed, it will then be a choice on the on screen keyboard to 
the left of the space bar.

Hope this has helped.

Re: Braille Screen Input question's

2022-11-05 Thread Chris Chaffin

Hi,First, table top mode and away mode.Table Top mode is where you lay the phone flat on a surface and the dots are like a perkins brailler.  So on the left side, you would have dots 1, 2, and 3, going from center to left. And on the right side, you would have dots 4, 5, and 6, again, going from center to right.Away Mode, is where you hold the phone with the screen away from you with the charging port on the right.  With this mode, the dots are in two columns.  On the left, you would have dots 1, 2, and 3, going from top to bottom, so the dots are on top of each other in a column. And on the right, you would have dots 4, 5, and 6, again, going from top to bottom.Now the reason the dots are changing positions on you is because it is switching from table top mode and away mode depending on the position of your phone.there is a gesture where you can lock it in whichever mode you want to do.So put it in the mode you want; table top or away, then do a three finger swipe down on the screen.  This would be from your mute switch side to the side with your side button.  It should say, orientation locked.  This is a toggle gesture, so you would do the same gesture to unlock the orientation.I would recommend taking a look at the list of gestures for Braille Screen Input.  Go to settings / Accessibility / Voiceover / Commands, then swipe to Braille Screen Input, and in there you will find all of the gestures to use with the BSI keyboard.Hope this helps answer your questions.ChrisOn Nov 5, 2022, at 5:05 AM, Lielle Ben Simonליאל בן סימון  wrote:Hi friends, I had started to use BSI and have questions about that.What the difrences between both modes Table mode and Screen away modes?And sometimes the dots changes  both of 2 eadges on the screen and sometimes they in the meedle on the screen.Why it's happends? and how can I write in BSI without to moove my fingers all the times?and in eddition why the dots changes position on the screen? מילים באהבה שירותי תמלול.0509549090לדף העסקי שלי:https://www.facebook.com/transcribes500/

Widget Stacks

2022-11-04 Thread Chris Chaffin

Hi,

For those out there that use widgets on your home screen. I have a stack of 5 
widgets and I want to rearrange a couple of the widgets in the stack.
Running iOS 16.1, I am not able to find an actual way of successfully moving 
any of the widgets in the stack. If anyone can successfully do this, I would 
appreciate letting me know how.

I think this could possibly be a bug, so I have already reported it to Apple 
Accessibility.

THANKS,

Chris

Re: Question about chargers and cables

2022-11-04 Thread Chris Chaffin



I have always normally used MFI certified cables just for the one simple reason 
that Apples cables are much more expensive.
Now most of these cables are good, but can range in quality.  So I tend to try 
to stay with a brand that has a good reputation.  I currently use Anker brand 
cables.

Hope this helps.

Re: Getting an iPhone

2022-10-23 Thread Chris Chaffin

Hi Sieghard,

I thought the same thing last year, but as I stated before, my daughter traded 
in her iPhone 8 last year and she got a credit for $800.  My wife also traded 
in her iPhone 10R and got a credit for $800.  Unless they changed the terms 
this year, I do not think my iPhone 11 Pro will be a problem.
It was not the phone that mattered, but the type of account you have.  Last 
year you had to have an unlimited account, and everyone in my family does.
I do not know the specifics of this years deal, but I will be checking into it.

Re: Getting an iPhone

2022-10-23 Thread Chris Chaffin



As far as the charging port, the cable no longer fits snug, making the 
connection lose and therefore comes disconnected very easily.  Plus when I do 
get a snug fit, it seems like it has a hard time making a connection.  This 
happens with multiple cables.  I took the case off to make sure it was not that 
causing it, and to make sure it was not my brand of cable, I tried it with my 
wife's 13 Pro, and it fit really good and snug like it should.  It seems that 
my port got damaged sometime.

As far as the Verizon deal, what they do is they divide up any remaining 
balance by 24 and add it to your monthly bill.  The main reason for the bill is 
to make sure you are going to stay a customer for the next 2 years.

Re: Getting an iPhone

2022-10-23 Thread Chris Chaffin



Both Verizon and A T and T have an $800 trade in deal going on right now, and I 
am assuming that it will continue through at least Christmas.
I just discovered that my charging port is starting to go out, so I am thinking 
of taking advantage of it and get an iPhone 14 Pro.  I currently have an iPhone 
11 Pro, so it is about time for an upgrade.

Re: How to use files on an iPhone

2022-10-23 Thread Chris Chaffin


Yes, you could access them on basically any device.  And yes, you could attach 
them to email if needed.

Keep in mind that you can put any type of files in your One Drive, then be able 
to access it on all devices.  Like a PDF file, MP3 files, etc.  For example, I 
have put PDF files in my Dropbox, and then imported them into Voice Dream 
Reader to scan and read them.  So this can be used for many purposes.
Personally, unless it is for my job, I do all of my writing as txt files.  This 
way I can easily edit them on whatever device I need too.  This also lets me 
create txt documents on my phone and then be able to access them on my computer 
if needed.

I totally understand what you are trying to do, and for the most part, that is 
what I do.  Currently use the MBraille app and Braille Screen Input to do all 
of my typing.  And I am considering the Hable One Keyboard.  A little 
expensive, but seems to be a good quality product.  If you do not know Braille, 
then like I said, I would highly recommend some type of blue tooth keyboard.

Hope this has been helpful, and feel free to let me know if you have any more 
questions.

Re: Getting an iPhone

2022-10-23 Thread Chris Chaffin

I helped get 2 iPhones from Verizon last year for family members, and yes, it 
is a little bit of a process, I just used the Verizon app on my iPhone.  
Voiceover did read everything, but because of how things are laid out, it can 
get a little confusing.
In order to use the app, you will need an online account.

Question, did you try calling their toll free customer service number?  Last 
year, you could also order an iPhone by calling that number.
1-800-922-0204

The reason I went through Verizon last year is because they were offering a 
$800 trade in toward any iPhone 13.  My daughter traded in her iPhone 8 for an 
iPhone 13 mini, and since the cost was $799, she basically got the phone for 
free since they credited her $800 for her trade in.  The only thing was you had 
to remain a Verizon customer for the next 2 years.  This is not a problem since 
we live in a very rural area, and Verizon has the best coverage.

Re: Series 7 watch and InfoGraph complication

2022-10-22 Thread Chris Chaffin


This can be changed in Settings.  You can get to it in the Watch app on your 
phone, or through Settings on your watch.

Just go to Accessibility / Voiceover / Speak Seconds, and you can choose either 
Always or Never speak the seconds when displayed.

Hope this helps.

Re: How to use files on an iPhone

2022-10-22 Thread Chris Chaffin

Hi Kay,

Well, getting files to your iPhone is not a difficult one.  You could simply 
use one of the cloud storage programs / apps, like Dropbox, One Drive, or 
Google Drive.  I personally use Dropbox, and this allows me to access any of my 
files on both my computer or iPhone.

Now as far as editing files on your iPhone, this first depends on what type of 
files you will be editing.  If they are MS Office files like Word or Excel, I 
will tell you that this can not be done as easily as it is done on your 
computer.  Word was not the most accessible on the iPhone, but I have not used 
it for a while, so do not know if it has gotten any better.  And Excel, because 
of the screen size, is very slow and tedious to use.  On my phone, I mainly use 
txt or RTF file formats when writing.  And using Mark Down can be handy when 
needed.

If you are going to be doing a lot of editing and writing, I would probably 
recommend some type of keyboard.  there are many out there, so it is really 
depending on what you prefer to use.  You can use a regular blue tooth 
keyboard, or you could use something like the Orbit Writer or Hable keyboard.  
Again, this comes down to preference.

As far as what apps to use, well, again, this will depend on what type of files 
you will be working with.  As far as editors there are lots out there, and 
everybody has there favorite.  there's Voice Dream Writer, Drafts, 1Writer, and 
of coarse Notes.

I hope this has been helpful and at least gives you a starting point.

Re: I'm in the Market for a Small iPhone

2022-10-21 Thread Chris Chaffin

Just a couple more things Evan.  Keep in mind that normally in a smaller phone 
factor comes less battery life.  I would say that both phones have decent 
battery life, but nothing compared to the bigger phones.  Of coarse, battery 
life is dependent on how much the phone is used every day.  The second thing 
is, and you did not say this mattered, but the iphone SE uses touch ID and has 
a home button, and the iphone 13 uses face ID and has no home button.  Just a 
couple of things that you should keep in mind when looking at the different 
iphones.

I would say that both the iphone 13 mini and the iphone SE will work good for 
you for several years and I would guess 4 to 5 years depending on usage and how 
good the battery life holds up.

It is said, that the reason the mini is no longer in the lineup of the new 
phones is because of sales.  And I personally think that having two iphones at 
the smaller form factor is why the mini is going away.  The SE is a very 
popular model, and the SE sales is a lot more, and this is probably because the 
price of the SE is less than the mini.  So I do not think either phone is a bad 
choice.  Like anything else, it comes down to personal preference.

 Subject: I'm in the Market for a Small iPhone

 Hey Guys,

 I meant to mention that I saw an iPhone 13 Mini not too long ago that 
 looked like just the thing if I want a small model, but someone else told 
 me that they weren't making newer models of that one.

 Is that true?

 Thanks much.

 Evan

Hi Evan,

The iPhone 13 Mini is still being sold, so you can still buy one, but it is 
correct, the mini will not be made in any new models of the iPhone, like the 
newest model that just came out, the iphone 14.
Now have you looked at an iPhone SE?  The 3rd edition just came out a few 
months ago, and it is smaller in size, plus it still has a home button.

Re: Recommendation: put Screen Recognition in VO Quick Settings, not the Rotor

2022-10-04 Thread Chris Chaffin

Mike,

I can definitely say that Apple Accessibility was not correct.  I am running 
ios 15, and after turning on screen recognition and then going to quick 
settings found in Voiceover settings, screen recognition is a choice that you 
can have in your quick settings list.
Now, as you mentioned, I do not know if having an iPhone SE makes a difference 
or not.

Re: ApplePay With iPhone12?

2022-10-02 Thread Chris Chaffin



Once you are all checked out at a store and are ready to pay, , that is when 
you press the side button two times to initiate Apple Pay on your phone.  After 
you press the side button two times it will automatically do the Face ID so 
have it close to your face and ready.
After that, you just have to put your phone near the Apple Pay terminal to 
complete the transaction and you are done.

Re: apple music vs deezer

2022-09-17 Thread Chris Chaffin


I am assuming that you are referring to repeat mode, which means when it gets 
to the end of an album or playlist, instead of stopping, it starts over or 
continues playing.
I will use a playlist for an example.

1, Double tap on the playlist that you want to play.
2, Start playing the playlist.
3, While it is playing, just press side button to envoke Siri, and say turn 
repeat on.
Now you can also ask Siri to Shuffle if you also want to do that.

Now you can also turn it on physically, so here are the instructions.
1, Double tap on playlist that you want to play.
2, I do not know how to get to it without starting to play the playlist first, 
so swipe to the play button and double tap play.  You can then double tap  it 
again or do the magic tap to stop it.
3, Go to the bottom of the screen where the taps are and swipe to the left 
until you get to the mini player, keep swiping until you get to album art work, 
then double tap that.
4, This will bring up the mini player to cover the screen.  Now go to the 
bottom of that screen and double tap Playing Next.  This should select it.
5, Now go back to the top of the screen.  there are probably several pages on 
this screen, so swipe up with 3 fingers until you hear page 1, or if you hear a 
bong sound, then that means that you are on page 1.
6, Now just swipe until you get to 3 choices, repeat, shuffle, and auto play. 
Each choice has a toggle switch, so turn on which ever you want.

Hope this helps.

Chris

After composing an email, if you do a double tap and hold, or a triple tap, you 
can then choose when you want to send the email.

Hope this helps.

Chris

Re: is there a way?

2022-08-22 Thread Chris Chaffin

Just a thought.  Have you considered trying to use Screen Recording to record 
little sessions and then sending them to your friend?  BlindAbilities just did 
a podcast on how to use the screen recording feature.  I would recommend giving 
it a listen to see if it is something you could use.  Here is the link.

Check out episode: iPhone101: A Deeper Dive - Screen Recording on the iPhone 
and other iDevices - It's not just for Videos. @BlindAbilities

Re: NFL audio on the iPhone

2022-08-10 Thread Chris Chaffin



One thing that I learned through the signing up for SiriusXM is that there is 2 
platinum plans.  The regular platinum plan which in addition to streaming, also 
includes an actual radio like in a car or one you keep in your house, and the 
platinum streaming plan, which only includes streaming.  So I just ended up 
calling them to make sure I got the right one.

Re: Alternate SiriusXM player, was about the NFL stream ...

2022-08-05 Thread Chris Chaffin

Hi Duane,

As I said, your favorites in the StarPlayrX app can be found on the channels 
tab.
On that main screen, just swipe until you hear All Stars.  Just double tap on 
that and you will be on the screen with your list of favorites.

Chris
