icons with braille input

2016-02-13 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

Is it possible to enter icons like smiley faces or frowny faces using the 
braille input keyboard?

I have done a google on this and can't seem to find anything.

Thanks.

unread only in native mail app?

2015-12-30 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

I used to only see unread emails.  Now however, since upgrading to 9.2 I see 
unread and a lot of read emails.

How do we set the native mail app so it only shows unread emails under IOS 9.2?

Thanks.

Re: why voice over voices sounds fuzzy?

2015-12-15 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

Actually, when I updated to 9.2 last week on my Iphone 5 I found the VO sspeech 
to be very fuzzy sounding as well.

After messing around with the sound settings and the like I couldn't figure out 
why.  However, I found that in VO settings after I switched to default voice 
the speech cleared up tremendously.  I switched it back to the high grade voice 
and it went fuzzy again.  I switched back to default and it is now clear and 
not fuzzy at all.

It is almost like something has been transposed so that the voice settings are 
not quite what they should be.

I hope this helps.

Hi,
It sounds like your Voiceover volume is too high. This is not to be confused 
with your phone's overall master volume that you control with the volume 
buttons on the side of your phone.  Use your volume buttons on the side of the 
phone to turn the master volume all the way up. Then, to avoid distortion in 
Voiceover, go to the volume control in the rotor and  reduce the volume to the 
level that you want, perhaps anywhere between 80 and 90 percent. As you do 
this, Voiceover should become less fuzzy or the distortion may disappear 
altogether.  Finally, and this is important, go to Settings > Sounds and turn 
Change With Buttons to Off.  Your ringer and alert sounds will remain exactly 
as you've set them and won't be affected when you use the side volume controls; 
the buttons will only affect Voiceover and/or music/video output volumes.  
Hope this helps.


Best regards,
Tom

IOS 9.2 and IPhone 5

2015-12-12 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

My experiences so far with 9.2 are less than expected.

I have noticed that in some apps there is a very serious focus bug.  For 
example, in the AppsGoneFree app it is impossible to swipe right to move 
through the days apps.  As I swipe right I hear the first ap and then the focus 
jumps to the status line at the top of the screen.  I have found that I 
actually have to page through the apps now instead of swiping.  This is not 
always certain to work either.

I have seen very severe focus issues in other apps I have too.

I have also seen in some apps that the effort to double tap on some buttons and 
the like are useless.  Nothing happens which is causing me a great deal of 
frustration and loss of function.

Is there a way to go back to IOS 9.0 or maybe even 8.4?

Thanks.

Dan Beaver

Flying Ruler it works

Hi,

For anyone who has the need to measure things or distances this app works.  It 
works by starting the app then picking your phone up and moving it to the 
distance you want measured.  It works and seems fairly accessible.

For woodwork it probably isn't easy to get the kind of accuracy you want.  I 
could see it working though once one is practiced with moving it and not

Just tried this and went through the calibration, but when I tried to messure a

another sound, but nowhere on the screen could I read the distance. There was a 
Reset button which was dimmed and it always showed 0 even though I moved the

Hi,

Well, it claims to be accurate to .06 of an inch.

Personally with my small trial I found it very accurate indeed.  I started it 
and then moved it only about an inch and a half and it told me it had moved 
1.43 inches.

I haven't tried it with actual measurements yet but so far I think it is going

It sounds to me that you need to have your battery checked.  Apple has a 
battery replacement program for many Iphone 5 units.  I heard about it on this 
list and only about 3 months ago I started having similar issues.  I checked my 
phone on their website for this program and it qualified for the replacement.  
I took it to the Apple store and they checked it and did do a replacement for 
free.  No probloems since.

If you do a google search for iphone and battery you will find the site where 
you can check for qualification on your phone.  They will ask for your phone 
serial number and tell you immediately if it qualifies.  You can find your 
serial number under settings and about on your phone.

Good luck,

Dan Beaver

Subject: battery


Hello I am currently using the iPhone 5 and I’m noticing that my battery can be 
fully charged and I can be sending a text and the battery indicator might say 
that the phone is 68%. Then after I send the text the indicator increases. 
There are times that it can be charged and suddenly the phone turns off and I’m 
unable to turn it back on until I recharge it. This recently happened today. It 
said 92% and in less than an hour is was totally dead. I want to know if anyone 
else has experienced this and if so did you have to replace the battery. Does 
anyone know approximately how much a battery replacement would cost? 

Thank you

mailing list for windows phones and accessibility/

2015-07-31 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

Does anyone know of a mailing list for windows phones and accessibility?  My 
wife and I are going to travel in an area where we know from experience that 
our carrier does not work and we found that another one does work well.  Since 
we are only using this as a travel phone in that area we decided to try out a 
windows phone to see what they are like.

Thanks.

Re: Braille Input and messages

2015-07-16 Thread Dan Beaver
Hmmm,

I am using it on an Iphone 5 and have had no problems like you describe at 
all.

If you enter braille input mode and move a finger around the screen does it 
give you any tones or bleeps at all?

Also, did you set the braill input type under voice over in accessibility

Subject: Braille Input and messages

When I go and try to use the ios braille input to type a text or iMessage, 
it does not work for me.  It works fine everywhere else, but not there.
This is not new, it has been going on since at least ios 8.2, and possibly 
earlier, I just do not remember earlier than that.
I will also say that this is not phone specific.  It used to do the same 
thing on my iPhone 5, and now it does it on my iphone 6, which I got in May.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, like I said, I use it everywhere else 
just fine.
This is what I do.
1, Open messages.
2, Flick down to who I want to send a message too and double tap on their 
name.
3, Go down to the bottom of the screen and double tap the message edit box.
4, Switch the rotor to braille, and hold the phone in away mode.
5, When I try to type, nothing happens.  I tried switching it to table top 
mode, then back to away mode, still nothing happens when I try to type.  I 
have also tried to calibrate the dots, but still no response.
6, When I switch the rotor to something else and check the message box, 
there is of coarse nothing there.

Is there anything else that I need to do before I start typing?
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Chris

CELL SIGNAL SHOWS SEARCHING CONTINUOUSLY

Just this morning I was using my Iphone 5 and all was well.

About 3 hours later I picked it up and unlocked it to find that my cell signal 
status was showing searching.  We traveled about 100 miles this afternoon to

I am on an Iphone 5 running IOS 8.4.

Has anyone else seen this issue and what did you do about it?

What exactly would be the benefit of a WiFi enabled door bell? Are you 
thinking of something which would you let you unlock your door with your 
iPhone? When I think of a door bell I think of a very simple device which 
has a button and a bell/ringer. A person comes to your door, pushes the 
button and the bell dings or dongs or rings or whatever so you know somebody 
is at your door. Such devices traditionally were wired, but many wireless 
options are out there now which have a button that has a battery in it and 
it sends the signal to the bell/ringer wirelessly. This does, however, not 
require WiFi connectivity, it's just like a remote where a signal is 
transmitted by one device and received by another.

What I meant was an accessible package of ringtones.  I am looking for a 
package of ringtones that is accessible.  Several I have tried are not.  they 
are either a royal pain to get the ringtones out of or do not work with VO at 
all.

Thanks.

Dan;

Pardon me, but I'm quite confused by your post here.  How would a ring tone be 
accessible other than to be able to open and listen to it?

If you're talking about a ring tone production app; then Ringtone Maker Pro is 
your baby.  I've been able to trim audio files that have been installed onto my 
iPhones with very effective precision.  If you have any questions, you might 
contact me off-list.

key functions on bluetooth keyboard that emulate VO

2015-01-20 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

I have been given a bluetooth keyboard.  Where do I find documentation on how 
to use the keyboard while VO is on?

For specific info how do you get the bluetooth keyboard recognized in edit 
fields?  It is working for moving around the screens but not in edit fields.  
When I type in those field nothing shows up on the screen.

Second how do you do a double tap like with VO?  I know this was discussed 
recently but I didn't have a BT keyboard then and didn't pay attention of 
course.

thanks.

I did not ask for an elaborate review or for info pasted from a site.  All I
asked for was a simple synopsis or a bit of info about the app.  As for how
easily you can go elsewhere to determine your interest, why not eliminate
that step by doing as I suggest.  That is more of a time saver for the
reader.  If interested, find out more at, so and so dot such and such.  If
not, there's no need to go there.  Also, if a malicious message were to be
posted that wants you to click on a link, this is how a lot of viruses,
spyWare and MalWare are spread, so not having to click on a link to get info
also eliminates this potential threat.

Re: ENDING PHONECALLS

2014-12-19 Thread Dan Beaver
Actually it does work.  I use it all the time.

The trick to using the 2-finger double tap is to move the phone away from your

I did this under 6.+, 7.+ and now 8.1.2.

To my knowledge, the two-finger double tap no longer works with iOS 8. Try 
taking the phone away from your ear so it automatically switches to

announced.

  Hi all,

locate at the end of a call and even pressing the on/off switch doesn't always 
work.

  At one stage the buttons, I think, were better placed at the bottom of the 
phone, maybe nearer the corners.  If I am wrong here then, never mind;  but I 
really wish there was an easier way to end calls efficiently when not connected 
to a headset.

  Does anyone else feel this way and, if so, do you think there's any workable 
solution that we could put forward to the Accessibility Team?  Maybe this isn't 
a big deal for anyone, but I still think it spoils the ship for me and I quite 
often see postings from people who are having this difficulty.

  Thanks for any useful comments I could colnsider before writing to Apple.

I actually forgot to mention in my last post that you can still delete apps 
in the row above the dock, you just can't move the apps. In order to delete 
an app from your phone just double tap and hold on an app in another row so 
it goes into moving/editing mode. Now find the app you want to delete in 
bottom row and double tap it, you will then be prompted if you really want 
to delete the app.

Hi Jessica and David,

I hope you take the few minutes required to write an email to 
accessibil...@apple.com and also add your voices of those who have reported 
this already. I just did again about a week ago and received a generic reply 
yesterday that my concern will be forwarded to the appropriate people. This 
issue has been around since the very first release of iOS 8 Beta 1 back in 
June. People with developer accounts such as Jonathan Mosen, Anna, myself 
and many others have reported it well before iOS 8 was released and I'm sure 
others have reported it since the official release, but even after 4 
official iOS 8 updates the problem persists and I'll go out on a limb here 
and say that in iOS 8.2 it still exists and Apple has already released the 
second beta for iOS 8.2. I wouldn't be surprised if the official release of 
iOS 8.2 was next week, if not I guess it will be in the first couple of 
weeks of January and the more people write to Apple accessibility about this 
the better are the chances it might get fixed between now and the official 
release of 8.2. At this point it's definitely one of the more annoying bugs.

Sieghard

You might need to do that a couple times, but that should help to calibrate the 
gauge. Also, you might qualify for a free battery replacement, if your phone is 
from late 2012. I don't have the link right now, but google apple free iPhone

Dear all,

So I have updated to 8.1.1 on an iPhone 5 and so far, I am enjoying the 
experience until now which is a concern.

Basically, this Sunday gone, I woke up and check my battery percentage and 
it was at 28% unlocked the phone and started using it and just like that 
Voiceover said iphone shutting down.

Today, early in the morning my phone was at 18%. As before, unlocked it, 
started using it and sure enough the same message came up.

Here are the two things that I'm worried about though.

1. This is a big concern but when the phone shuts down, the only way I can 
get it to start up again is to plug it into charge and when I here the two 
birbrations, and a few seconds later the phone is on again. Today, when it died 
at 18% I waited till it came on again through the use of the charger, took it 
off, and sure enough, a bit later it died again around the 18% mark.

2. If anyone knows, why isn't the battery percentage being accurate? Its 
got me a bit worried because I've never had this kind of problem before. I just 
wanted to know, am I on my own? Fingers crossed, I'm hoping its a software 
issue and not a hardware one that is targeted at my device.

If anyone has got any experience on the matter then I would love to know 
how you managed to resolve it. If at all.

Many thanks

Re: can't move apps around the home screen

2014-11-09 Thread Dan Beaver
My experience with this bug is that if the home screen is completely full I 
can't move anything.  However, I have found that if I delete an app and 
there is an empty spot I can move apps around and I can then also move apps 
to other screens.

So in my case it looks like the bug occurs if the home screen is full.

this bug, moving apps around still works as it always has.

Re: braille keyboard in password/protected fields?

2014-11-05 Thread Dan Beaver
Well, I am using 6 dot braille.  However, when trying to enter a password for 
my bank via Safari or my password in the app store and any other protected 
field it speaks nothing as I am typing and when I exit the braille keyboard and 
press the appropriate button I get a password error from the service I am using.

I have also checked the field and there appears to be nothing in it before 
clicking the OK or submit or whatever button.

I think I am going to report this to accessibility and see what they have to 
say about it.

I use braille input all the time to enter my iTunes password, my passcode, and

Re: entering my e-mail address on a web site

Hi,

I haven't seen this on web sites but I have seen it while using braille 
input in the app store.

If I open the search field and type something in there and then click the 
search button it works fine.  the problem occurs when I then go back to the 
search field and try to type something new.  I switch to the braille input 
keyboard and it seems to be working except that when I check the field VO 
says what I entered first.

I asked my wife to look at it and she says the search field shows my new 
entry but VO still says my original search entry.

When I go to enter my e-mail address on some web sites, if I am using a blue 
tooth keyboard, I can't type.  I just hear the knocking noise.  Then if I 
try to use the braille input, same thing.  If I use the regular apple 
keyboard on the phone, I am able to type.  Has anyone else experienced this 
problem?

native braille input character cording

2014-10-27 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

I am really starting to like the braille input keyboard.  I am however having 
trouble figuring out some of the character cords.

For example, how does one keying an at sign in 6 dot braille?

Is there some help somewhere that gives the cords for all the characters?  I 
have searched for it but can't seem to find it.

Thanks.

most accessible skype?

2014-10-26 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

I installed a skype that said it was skype for iphones.  It was fairly 
accessible but the keyboard for creating an account was aweful.  It was very 
sluggish and at times VO actually went away completely for up to 20 seconds at 
a time.

What is the most accessible and usable skype?  I am using an IPhone 5.

thanks.

suggestions for bluetooth keyboard needed

2014-10-26 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

I know I have seen discussion on this but haven't until now needed a BT 
keyboard so have not paid much attention.

I need a good keyboard.  My wife has one but the keys are so flat and close 
together that I can't even really use it.  

Is there one that has good pressure feedback and where the keys are not too 
close together?

thanks.

Re: accessible app to determine horizontal level

2014-10-24 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

Actually, I believe it only gives a left and right level.  I assume you could 
turn the Iphone so that it is edge on to you so it would represent the level to 
you and away from you.  I have never thought about this til now.

I just tried laying my phone flat on a table and then lifting each of the 4 
sides slightly and it does seem to give level readings on all side.  I am 
unsure how to interpret this but maybe you can figure it out.

Hello Dan
Thanks, This seems to be very handy but perhaps you can answer one question. 
How do I determine which value is which i.e. when I place the iPhone on a flat 
surface there is the level from left to right and the level to me and away from 
me if that makes sense. I suppose both these readings would appear on the 
screen.

Hi Christopher,

I am using NVDA also.  I did the same thing you did until I found that 
status field also.

the problem is that the progress indicated that it had gotten to 90% and 
then nothing.  I did finally hear a 2 tone sound and the progress bar went 
away but that was all.

I am just hoping for more certain confirmation than this of its completion.

Re: Braille Input: What Helped me Figure it out

2014-09-26 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

I haven't seen the manual or anything yet and do not have IOS 8 yet but I have 
one question about the braille input keyboard.

Is it possible to tell the phone to always use braille in any edit field?  Or, 
do we always have to switch it to braille each time we move to an edit field?

Subject: Braille Input: What Helped me Figure it out


Nicki and others, 

 

I don’t know if this will help you but here is a set of steps I have learned 
from  others that helped me with the braille input.

 

1.When you land in an edit field turn your rotor once to the right. The 
Braille keyboard is usually there because the Braille setting on your rotor 
follows the edit field around. 

 

2.   I find it useful  to use away mode. For some reason, when in table 
mode, dots 1, 2, 3 appear on the right so everything is backwards.

 

3.   Once in a way mode, Do not calibrate just write.

 

Unfortunately, when trying to  use  contracted Braille the app does not echo 
characters. I like to have characters echoed at this point so I write in 
unconstructed Braille.

 

4.   Flick once left to erase a character and once right for space.

5.

6.   When done rotor once left or right, then you can use VO gestures 
again. HTH

 

Sandy

buy it and I have no credit in the iTunes Store. Have I been hacked somehow? 
Has this happened to Anton else? Where did it come from? Could this have to do 
with the extra iCloud space I just got? Help!

Re: Where did it come from?

2014-09-11 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

According to Kim Komando Apple did this but once it is in your ITunes you can't 
get rid of it.  And, it is taking up most of the memory on small memory IPhones.

Wow am I glad I almost never use ITunes.

I found it amusing to see the schtick Tim Cook pulled with that. It was fun, 
and while I'm not fanatical about U2, I'll give it a listen. I thought the song 
that was performed was pretty nice. But hey, if you don't like them, you can 
remove them. It doesn't count against your iCloud space, though.

  Don't worry, nothing was hacked. That was a stunt Apple pulled on Tuesday,

Instead of a code to download it, though, it essentially told iTunes that 
everyone bought the album. It was free to everyone, and now everyone has it 
in their purchase history. Surprise!

word games for the IPhone

2014-06-17 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

I have conquered clever clues and am now looking for other word games.  My wife 
and I are about to do some serious traveling and are hoping to find accessible 
games that I can manipulate on my IPhone and she can play along too as she 
drives without looking at the screen.

I have tried a number of them but most seem unusable with VO.

Any suggestions?  They need to be something she could do in her mind without 
looking at the screen of course.

Thanks.

Actually, you can test for plum using the vertical level.  However, remember 
that it is only accurate for short distances and not long ones.  If a wall 
or post is off even less than a full degree can be off more than you may 
wish if the length is more than just a few feet.

 I will try that today.

 The battery drains much faster now with IOS 7.1

Before doing a phone reset you should also make sure bluetooth is turned

Making sure the screen brightness is low and not using VO anymore than you 
have too can also help.

I found after upgrading to 7.1 that bluetooth was turned on by the update. 
This might be the case on your phone too if you thought it was off before

Hi Christopher,

If I turn my bluetooth on my battery drops rapidly.  If it is off the 
battery will last at least the day if not 2 days.

Since I got my Iphone 5 and started hearing others talk about battery issues 
I tested different features on the phone and found that bluetooth drains the 
battery the fastest except for VO itself.

I have no use for bluetooth so I tend to leave it off all the time so it 
isn't an issue for me.

Apple went to bluetooth 4.0 on the 4S.

I have not tried the Overdrive audio books but would it be possible to
convert them to mp3 or m4a with a file converter such as Switch?  There are
several good programs for playing mp3 or m4a books such as Audio Book and
Podcast player. .  I listened to them all the time before the BARD app came
out and used Switch to convert the ones in WMA format to mp3 or m4a.
Just a thought.

Re: Battery Drainage

2014-02-06 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

If you can't use the phone during the day at work wy not just turn it off(power 
it off) for the time it is in the locker?  Why leave it sitting there doing 
nothing?

Another thing you can do is make sure bluetooth and WIFI are turned off as well 
if you still want to leave it powered on.  These tend to drain battery charge 
very rapidly.  At least on my phone they do.

I hope this is of some help.

Hi, ever since I upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S, my battery has been 
draining at a crazy rate. During the work week, for example, I'm not allowed to 
have the phone in my workspace, and so I leave the phone on Airplane Mode in a 
locker. Yet, at the end of the day my battery has dropped from 100% to 75%. 
I've turned off indexing, background refresh, and GPS where necessary. I have 
no push notifications. I have the bear minimal running, and yet my phone 
guzzles like an Irish. Any ideas? I would blame it on battery age,  but I only 
began experiencing the issue with iOS 7. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You might try an app called Ita.  It is produced by Nice Mohawk.  Sorry, I

I have been using it and I find it very easy to use.  It will let you share

ITA a very good and easy to use list/note app

2014-01-09 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

I got this app when it was free the other day.  I have found it very easy to 
use and it works very well with VO.

Here is the app info:

Ita - A List App To Do List-Making. Beautiful, Quick, Simple Lists. on ...

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ita-list-app-to-do-list-making./id528185276?mt=8


Ita makes list-making and note-taking quick, fun, and simple. In other words, 
better. We've made it easy to mark stuff you've done, move items around,
and keep track of everything you want to remember.

To make Ita feel more like a paper notebook, we decided it should act like one. 
As you use lists, they'll show signs of wear, just like a piece of paper.
Ita works on iPhone and iPad and uses iCloud syncing to make sure your lists 
are with you wherever you go.

Features
 Universal for iPhone and iPad
 iCloud syncing across devices
 Drag items to rearrange
 One tap to mark as completed
 Add multiple items one after another with one tap
 Lists show wear like paper!
 You can turn off lists showing wear like paper!
 Reinstate completed items, or vanquish them forever
 Fully accessible through Apple's VoiceOver screen reader
 Send lists to friends or yourself through email, Messages, or, like an 
 animal, by printing

I hope this is useful to someone.

reading text files on the IPhone 5?

2014-01-05 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

I have a number of text files I placed on the IPhone 5.  Now when I try to read 
them through drop box it is as though there were no formatting.  It is as 
though they were one long giant string instead of many separate lines.

Is there a way to format text files for reading on the IPhone 5 so that they 
show as separate lines?

Thanks.

Re: reading text files on the IPhone 5?

2014-01-05 Thread Dan Beaver
,Hi,

I tried that before and it didn't work.  I tried it again on your suggestion 
and still no luck.

It does allow me to read some lines partially but for the most part it is 
still like I have one very long line.

I can't help but believe there is a way to format the file under windows so 
that it comes out right on the IPhone.

Thanks.

You need to use rotor settings, select lines, then flick down and it will
navigate line by line.  Took me a while to figure this, too.

 I see about Straight Talk is the price of the monthly service is only $45 a 
 month.  Whereas being with the other providers is around $100 or more per 
 month.  The only thing is with Straight Talk is you have to buy the iPhone up

good accessible IOS app development tool?

Is there a good development tool for creating apps for IOS?  It will need to be

It has been a fair number of years since I have done  software development but 
I'd like to try it again on some ideas I have for apps.

Thanks.

IOS 7.0.3 and Siri

2013-10-23 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

It looks like on my IPhone 5 that the 7.0.3 update has improved Siri's accuracy 
of interpreting what I say to her.

If it isn't the update that has fixed her I don't care.  It is just nice to 
have her working better again.  I have only seen this improvement since the 
update.

Hi Dan,

The 4-finger tap is meant to take you to the last element on the screen
which in the case of the Inbox in the mail app is the Compose button at the
very bottom right. If you want to go to the last email all you have to do is
swipe left twice from Compose and you are on the last email.

I guess one could argue that maybe it should take you to the last item or
element in whichever particular container you are in since the iPhone now
does have Containers and the container which includes the Last Updated
time and the Compose button is separate from the container which contains
all the messages.

Hi Dan,

Swiping from the Compose button left twice to get to the last email does in
fact work just fine, I tried it since I mostly avoid claiming something
works if I haven't actually tested it.

In this example of getting to the last email the answer is yes, you could
just touch the bottom of the screen where you will land either the Compose
button or the Last updated message instead of doing a 4-finger tap and then
swipe right once or twice depending on where you touched. I do this a lot in
various apps. Now, there are, however, situations where this does not work.
For example, you might have an I Agree button at the bottom of a 10 page
disclaimer on a web page or when you install an app and quite often the only
way to get quickly to the bottom and often right onto the button is to use
the 4-finger tap.

Sieghard

alerts via Fox News app - how do I remove them?

2013-08-16 Thread Dan Beaver
HI,

Does anyone know how to remove alerts from the notifications list that are 
placed there by the Fox News app?  

I have clicked on them and gone into the app but see nothing that will let me 
get rid of old alerts.  In most apps if you click on an alert in the 
notifications list then those alerts go away.  Not in this case.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

Re: camfind, taptapsee, goggles etc

2013-07-26 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

As I said before I can't afford to purchase anything to hold it.  However, I 
have found that I can set it on edge on the table or lean it against something 
so that the camera is pointed toards the object I want to identify.

I have done this many times and it works well except for pressing the buttons.

Thanks.

  Hi all,

  I thought I'd get your opinions before I go chatting with the developers of 
these kinds of apps.

  I have found that one of the biggest difficulties I have is holding the phone 
steady enough to take clear pictures.  I personally can't afford purchasing 
devices to hold the phone so I came up with another idea.

  I have found that I can take pretty good pics if the phone is resting on a 
table top or something.  However, I still tend to jiggle the phone when tapping 
the button to take a pic or start the video and the like.

  My thought here is asking the developers to add the ability to activate pic 
taking or video starting and stopping via a sound.  this would enable us to 
position the phone and then clap our hands or whistle or something to activate 
it.

  I figure that if you folks feel this would be helpful enough I'd start the 
discussion with the developers and see if they would be open to such a change.

  So, what do you all think?

  Thanks.

Re: accessible mobile hot spot

2013-07-09 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi,

I have used the Sprint hotspot.  It works well and is setup using a webpage 
that is imbedded in the device.  It seems accessible in most aspects.

I am now using Verizon's hotspot.  It too is setup via a imbedded webpage. 
It seems to be accessible just like the Sprint device.

I like both except that the Sprint hotspot had a repeating problem with the 
battery.  Sprint refused to admit that they had a design issue.  I got tired 
of buying battery after battery.

My wife and I have used both hotspots while traveling and in areas where the 
cell signal is sufficient it is great accessing the internet while driving 
down the highways.

which ones have you tried in the U.S. meaning, between Sprint, Verizon,
ATT, or T-mobile, or some other one which I'm not thinking of, which
ones might be relatively easy for a blind person to set up. I've not had
the need for one, and so don't know how easy they would be to set up.

Until he responds you could do a search on the net for dew point formula. I did

Thank you Sieghard for this thorough report. It appears from your description 
that the dew point is not provided. Is this true? I find that in hot weather, 
this measure is the most reliable in determining real unpleasantness. If this 
measure is not given, might you suggest how we could convince the developer to 
include it?

Subject: More good news about the Netatmo Weather Station

 

Hello,

 

I just wanted to give a quick update about the Netatmo Weather Station for 
those who bought it and for those who might be interested in it. First of all, 
for new members and those who haven't heard about it, the Netatmo Weather 
Station consists of 2 modules, an indoor and an outdoor module. The indoor 
module has a micro USB connection and uses a wall adapter for power and it also 
has 4 Triple A batteries for backup power. It is a round tube about 6 inches 
long and maybe 2 inches thick, there is no display at all and it only has one 
touch sensitive button at the top which one can push to force an update or you  
can push and hold it to initiate pairing mode. The indoor module connects to 
your WiFi and via your WiFi to the internet so that you can access it from 
anywhere in the world where you have a data connection. It also has Bluetooth 
which until recently was not used, but now the station uses Bluetooth for the 
initial setup/connection to your WiFi. This process was inaccessible so far, 
but I am happy to report that it is now fully accessible via the free Netatmo 
app which you also use once the station is paired to check the weather data 
provided by the station.

 

The outdoor module uses 900 Mhz and is pre-paired with the indoor module and it 
also uses 4 Triple A batteries. Once you put batteries in it, it will 
automatically pair itself with the indoor module and nothing else has to be 
done. It is also a tube of the exact same thickness, but it's only maybe 4 
inches long. Both modules are made from aluminum and have that same quality 
feel as an Apple product such as the Apple Wireless Keyboard.

 

The weather station provides the following information (you can of course set 
if you want metric or imperial units):

 

Indoor Measurements:

Current Temperature

Minimum and maximum temperatures in the last 24-hour period

Humidity

CO2 level in parts per million

Air quality indicator - indicates if air is good or if CO2 is high and room 
needs to be aired

Noise level in decibels

Air Pressure - this is displayed with the indoor measurements, but air pressure 
is the same indoors and outdoors.

 

Outdoor Measurements

Current Temperature

Minimum and maximum temperatures in the last 24-hour period

Felt Like Temperature

Humidity

Air quality indicator - uses government data from the nearest weather station

 

The app can also send push notifications about a bunch of events such as high 
CO2 level, low temperature, high temperature etc.

 

Another new feature is that you can now buy additional indoor units for $79, 
the initial cost for the Weather Station is $180). They are similar in size to 
the outdoor module and you can place them in different rooms, e.g. you could 
have one upstairs and one in the basement.

 

Later this year a rainfall sensor will also be available which will measure the 
amount of precipitation.

 

Netatmo was incredibly accommodating to improve the accessibility of the app 
which in the beginning was not that great. There is still a graphical mode 
which automatically activates if you turn the phone to landscape orientation 
and that of course won't read, but in portrait mode Voiceover reads all the 
information beautifully in a simple interface. The head developer made it 
possible for me to discuss the various versions I beta tested with him directly 
on Skype and it was a fantastic experience. I know that the price for this 
Weather Station is on the high side and it's not a product for everybody, but 
if you are willing to pay this amount you will definitely get the most 
accessible weather observation product out there.

 

Lastly, here are the links to the Netatmo website where you can buy the station 
(I believe you can also get it on Amazon) and to the Netatmo app on iTunes, it 
won't do you much good without a weather station, but I thought I include it 
anyways in case somebody wants to read the entire app description:

most accessible news feed app?

2013-06-28 Thread Dan Beaver GMail
Hi,

I have been getting my news feed via the internet under  windows.  However, I'd 
like to move all that to my IPhone.

Does anyone have experience with news feed apps?  How accessible are they and 
which has proven to be the most accessible?

I'd prefer free apps but will consider paid ones too if they are really good

Thanks.

Dan Beaver
