Spreadsheet tips

[Denny Schwab]

Changing the subject to capture the information in regard to
spreadsheets and IPADS use.  I too have significant doubts as to how
someone using an IPAD would compare to someone using a PC to work with
Excel.  I tried Numbers, both on a MAC and an IPhone, but found it
clunky at best.  If someone can explain how to use Numbers or Excel on
an IPad or Iphone in a comparable way as using one on a Windows PC I
would very much love to hear about it.

Excel has so many helpful key commands in Windows that IOS just can't
duplicate, or at least does not duplicate.  For instance, in working
with a large spreadsheet, you can use home/(left,right,up,or down) to
go to the last cell with data in which ever direction.  That is simply
something I have not seen any way of doing on IOS.  This is not to
mention all of the items listed in a previous post.

apple watch gen 3 vs gen 4

[Denny Schwab]

I am looking at getting a new Apple Watch. I currently have a generation one 
that the screen is broken on. Can someone help me with understanding the 
differences between the generation three and the generation for. Are there 
things on the 4 that are just that much more necessary or helpful?

Re: Amazon prime

You need the Prime Video app installed.  In that app the ones that are

Re: iPhone7 frequently freezing since updating to iOS12

[Denny Schwab]

Just had a very frustrating experience with my IPhone 7.

I upgraded to IOS 12 last Thursday or Friday, then was working fairly
good Friday and Saturday.  Sunday I started having some issues with
swiping through the screen, and it feeling like the phone was freezing
a bit.  I decided to do the Network Reset, which did not fix anything.
I then decided, Tuesday night, to do the All Setting Reset.  Again
this did not help anything.  By this point the swiping issue had
changed into the phone not recognizing gestures and things like a
single finger tap might start music playback, might turn off speech,
or might do nothing at all.  Some times you didn't even have to touch
the screen for it to sense something and trigger a gesture.  I decided
to go all-the-way at this point, doing a full settings and data reset.
My wife came home as I was going through this process and had a look
at my screne for the first time.  She told me there were vertical gray
lines going through the screne, and, even with voiceover off, she was
having the same problems, and told me the phone was not acting right.
We couldn't even get it to take a passcode or much of anything at this
point.

Yesterday I took the phone into the Apple Store and found out the
screne was defective.  I asked how that might have happened, since it
worked fine on IOS 11, and just had troubles after upgrading to IOS
12.  The tech  said that sometimes the upgrade can cause defects, that
were not problematic in the older version, to become a problem in the
newer.

There was no damage to the screne at all, and I had AppleCare, so it
did not cost me anything to replace the defective screne, so it all
worked out in the end.

 ios
 12, one couldn't update to 11.4 if they were on the previous version
 before,
 since as far as what I know you wouldn't have access to that previous

 the

 of
 the 3 iphone se phones we have it does seem to be working well. We'll
 probably update the third one pretty soon. while it's such a minor
 thing, we
 love checking the time on that phone with touching the home button, but
 that's such a minor thing. It's funny the things we get so use too.
 touching
 the power button is just as simple.

[Denny Schwab]

Actually, the home button triple tap is used to turn Voiceover on and
off, not to shut off speech, which is different than shutting
Voiceover fully off.  Shutting off speech leaves Voiceover on, just
without speech.  A three-finger double-tap shuts speech off, and
leaves Voiceover on.

Re: my iPhone 6 is moribund

Not sure if it is related, but I have had times when Voiceover goes
unresponsive on my IPhone 7.  I hear clicks when I swipe around, but
no voice feedback.  To fix it I use the triple-press of the home
button to toggle Voiceover on and off.  It takes several times of
this, usually 4 or five, but Voiceover comes back on eventually.

Re: Any Updates on Accessible sprinkler timers?

[Denny Schwab]

The one-time watering screen works fine for me.  As I said, the only
issue I found was the selection of zones when setting up a schedule.
Other than that I would put the application down as fully accessible.

Another item of note is that the developer has been very good at
accepting accessibility suggestions and is fairly willing to work at
making updates that are needed.

Re: Any Updates on Accessible sprinkler timers?

[Denny Schwab]

I use the Rachio app and find it very accessible.  The only real issue
I have is that it does not tell you if something is selected or not,
for instance when you are trying to select which of the zones are
going to be watered on a given schedule.  It is easy enough to work
around that though, since you can get the list of zones currently
selected when you have the schedule fully created, then just go in and
edit it by tapping on the zones you don't want included in that list.

Re: Homepod

[Denny Schwab]

I think I am going to wait on this.  We have two Echo dots currently,
and my wife got a Google Home with something else she bought.  We are
still just dipping our toes into those two smart speaker products.
I'll wait to see if the Apple smart speaker has anything it does I
absolutely need prior to getting one.  I really cannot think of
anything it could do to make it worth getting at this point.

Re: Free Writing App?

[Denny Schwab]

The Writing App I mentioned is set up to help you write a novel.  You
can create Characters, Chapters, and put together Items and other
things.  It collects all of these into Novels.  A Novel Idea did the
same sort of thing, but also added in the ability to link characters
and ideas to multiple novels, and let you set up relationships between
characters.  Both are much more than just a word processor.

Two aps I have used, and have liked are:

Writing App by Thomas Sillmann
A Novel Idea (cannot find on Apple store for more details)

The first is the one I currently use, though I wish the second were
still available.

Re: Screen protectors are they worth it?

[Denny Schwab]

Hi,

I am 100% behind the glass screen protectors.  This past summer I was
sitting outside with my wife and kids, at the cabin.  The two-year-old
was playing with some larger rocks, the size of golf balls.  He
accidentally threw one and it hit directly on the screen of the IPhone
I was currently reading a audio book on.  The glass screen protector
spiderwebbed, but the actual IPhone screen was safe and sound.

Re: Amazon Echo devices

[Denny Schwab]

Hi,

What does the hub in the Echo Plus give you?  We have an Echo Dot
currently, and were planning on getting a few more since we were
liking it so far.  We are also getting two Nest Learning Thermostats,
a Roku, a Roomba, and a few other items that say they work with Alexa.
Do we need the hub to work with these other devices, or will the Echo
Dot do just fine?  We don't really care about the speaker quality,
since we too have the Sonos around the house.

Re: Problem updating IPhone 6 to 10.3

Problem updating IPhone 6 to 10.3

[Denny Schwab]

Hi,

I have an old IPhone 6 that I use for playing games and such.  I have
been trying to update it to 10.3, but keep getting an error.  The
update is downloaded to the device already, but, when I try to update,
I get a cannot validate the update error.  It says I am not connected
to the internet, but that is not the case.  I have tried this over
both my home Wifi and my IPhone 7 hotspot.  I keep getting the error
and have no idea how to move forward.

Should I remove the download from the device, and make it redownload it again?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Denny

Cutting the Cable options

[Denny Schwab]

Hello all,

I have seen some discussion on different TV streaming options to let
someone stop their cable service and use those streaming services
instead.  What are accessible options around doing this?

For instance, I read an Amazon review where a user used Swing TV,
Hulu, Amazon Prime, and CBS All Access to get pretty much all of the
shows they normally would view on cable.  I have heard that Hulu was
accessible before, but has issues now.  I also know that CBS All
Access has a lot of accessibility issues.  What about Swing TV or
Amazon Prime Video?  What other options have people found that work
well?

Thank you,

Denny

Re: How does wireless charging work and what are the benefits?

[Denny Schwab]

Plus, since you can now have it charging on the pad, you have your
lightning connection open to plug in your headphones.  So that helps
the pesky problem of not being able to listen to your phone whenever
you are charging it.

Re: Keyboards for iPhone.

[Denny Schwab]

Hello again,

On my last email, regarding the spacebar issue for my new Logitech
K480 keyboard...  I have been playing with it a bit,a nd it does not
seem to be a malfunction of the keyboard.  If I hit the keyboard's
spacebar directly in the center it types a space every time.  If you
hit towards either end it does not activate the spacebar.

Please let me know if others are having this issue.  I tend to type
really quickly, so having to listen to hear if the spacebar activated
or not is a pretty big issue for me.  I would love to hear what others
are doing about this.

Re: Keyboards for iPhone.

[Denny Schwab]

Hi,

I just purchased the Logitech K480 keyboard.  I have noticed something
I am finding quite off-putting though.  The spacebar key does not
register me pressing it a lot of the time.  I am ending up having to
hit it twice, or more, to just get a single space.  Anyone else seeing
this, or is it just an issue with my specific keyboard (and I will
need to look at returing this one...)

Re: gmail and notifications

[Denny Schwab]

Hi,

The native mail app only fetches data from Gmail.  It won't notify you
of new messages until you open the mail app.

charging adapter for IPhone 7

[Denny Schwab]

Hi all,

Does anyone have a good suggestion for what adapter is good for
charging and allowing the ability to plug in headphones at the same
time?  I would like something easy to carry with me, so not a docking
station or such.

I often find myself needing to stop what I am doing on the phone so
that I can plug it in and recharge.  I would love to find a charger
that also allows for keeping my headphones plugged in.  I know there
are some out there, but I have no clue which are good and which are
junk.

Thanks,

Denny

Re: Games for the blind

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

The games I like, and that are accessible, are:

King of Dragon Pass
A Blind Legend
Lord and Knights
Cribbage Pro
Chesswise
Shredder Chess
RoboE

I have tried several more of the blind-friendly games out there, and
there are a lot that are quite accessible.  The above are the ones I
ended up staying with for at least a while.

An area that I have really started to enjoy plaing in is the MUD
clients.  I have the Mud Rammer installed on my Iphone and this gives
you access to a slew of different Muds right out of the box.  You can
also add in other Muds as you find ones not in the standard list.  I
play AlterAeon as the main Mud I have found that I like so far.

Denny

Re: the finding your parked future in the latest update

[Denny Schwab]

Hi again,

I just went into Settings and then Map.  Under there I found a setting
for 'Show Parked Location.'  This setting needs to be set to on.
Additionally, the notes say that the phone needs to be connected to
either the car's Bluetooth or Carplay stereo for it to work.

Re: the finding your parked future in the latest update

[Denny Schwab]

Hi,

The finding your car feature is suppose to be automatic when the car
stops and you get out.  I do not believe the steps suggested are
correct.  The marking of your location is not a IOS10 feature after
all; that was there with IOS9 as well, and maybe even before that.

With that said, I also would like to know how to activate the feature
so that it does start telling me how to find the vehicle back.

Manamon - building outside of the city with the third stadium

[Denny Schwab]

Hi,

I cannot seem to figure out how to get into the building outside of
the city with the third stadium.  Anyone know what to do there?  The
building just says it is owned by some company and that my character
is not allowed to enter.

Thanks,

Denny

Re: Pokemon Go App

[Denny Schwab]

Yeah, I am really wanting to get conversation going about contacting
them to work on the Pokémon Go app specificly.

To make this accessible wouldn't be a huge effort, at least as far as
I understand.  They already use vibrations for other things, so making
it vibrate differently to let you know which direction the pokemon is
wouldn't be a big update.  Also, some audio or vibration alerts to let
you know how far the pokemon is away from you, so you can flick the
ball towards it wouldn't be that difficult either.

Pokemon Go App

[Denny Schwab]

I've tried out the Pokemon Go app.  It is not accessible in any
meaningful way.  You can enter your email address and password, but
cannot access any features of the app itself.  Below is a link to the
app in the app store.

https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/pokemon-go/id1094591345?mt=8

I've sent a message to their support team to see if they can make the
app accessible to the blind.  I have not heard any response yet, but
hope they will at least look into it.  I am hoping others will send
them messages.  I am adding in their web address below if you are
interested in sending them a message.

www.PokemonGO.com

Thanks,

Denny

Re: Uses of Workflow App?

[Denny Schwab]

I created a new workflow.  I then added the record audio action to the
workflow.  I added the copy to clipboard action to the workflow.  I
then added the send email action to the workflow.

I am playing around with the settings for each action.  I have the
record audio action set to record on tap and to stop recording on tap.
I have the send email action set to not show the mail composer, added
in a generic subject, and set the contact to my work email.

The main issue I have still is that when I click the start workflow
button, I then need to click the start recording button.  When I do
the second button voiceover speaks and is captured on the recording.
I may play with setting the start recording option to instant or with
a delay.  I am also going to look at if I really need the copy to
clipboard action, or if it will work without it.  I am hoping I can
get rid of the need to click done once I am finished with the
recording.  As it is now I click the start recording, record my memo,
then click the stop recording button.  Then I need to click the done
button to get to the send email button.  Lots of extra clicking in
there, but a work in progress.

Re: Uses of Workflow App?

[Denny Schwab]

I just created one that will do a voice recording on the Apple Watch,
then email that audio file to my work email address.  I see this as
something to use during a meeting to quickly record my own notes
during the meeting and have those recordings sent to my email address
for me to review later.

TimeBuz

[Denny Schwab]

Hi all,

I have been looking at the TimeBuz app.  I think it is awsome that it
allows for getting the time in a non-audio way.  My issue is that I
still have to navigate to the app itself, click onit, and then I can
double tap the button for it to give me the time in patterns of taps
on my wrist.

Does anyone know if there is a way to set it up to automatically tell
the time in the tap paterns, and not to have to navigate to the app
itself to do so?

Here is the appstore link:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/timebuzz/id993285729?mt=8

Thanks,

Denny

Hello all. This topic comes up from time to time. I'm not really
interested in the legal loopholes of DRM removal. The last I've known
about this, it's illegal to do this in the U.S. Since this list is
mainly based from the United States, I don't feel this topic is
appropriate. So, let's stop this now. If you have any comments about
this email, please write me or Cara Quinn off list.

 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.

 Hi,

 Well I guess I am going to have to try some of the WMA playing apps to see
 if they are accessible or not.  It looks like  most of the audio books from
 Overdrive are in the WMA format and they have a lot I'd like to read.

 Thanks for the response.

 WMA is a Microsoft proprietary format, just like AAC is an Apple
 proprietary format, so you won't be able to play WMA files on your
 iPhone, just as you couldn't play AAC files on the old Zune from Microsoft.

 Hi,
 Has anyone tried to play audio book files that are in the WMA format on

 Overdrive told me the IPhone is not wma compatible when I tried to
 transfer them using overdrive.
 When I moved them over myself they just don't seem to play.
 Any thoughts on this?
 Thanks.

Hello,

Has anyone tried the Magic the Gathering application for the IPad?

Re: By far the best transit app I have ever worked with

[Denny Schwab]

In planning a trip I have not been able to search for anything other
than now.  Even if I change and pick depart at a certain time, it
still only gives me the options for now.  Not sure what I am doing
wrong there.

Also, is the only way to be notified of a stop coming up to have a
trip being navigated?  Can it be set to notify you of your favorite
stops coming?

Thanks

 I'm slowly tapping my way through those buttons and will post about some I
 find useful. You can use the app without most of those buttons. Some allow
 for sharing the route or rating the trip or the station. One useful one is
 the start navigation which is the last one on the details screen of a
 trip. It then makes the trip description interactive while you're on a trip
 and counts stops until time to get off etc.

 Hello everyone,

 Maybe some of you already know this app but I just wanted to bring it to
 your attention. It is called moovit.
 I don't know yet how reliable it is but all the information about
 schedules and directions are completely accessible. Before this one I had
 used transit but I foundit lacking. This app is also integrated in
 Blindsquare

 Many interesting features such as alerting you when it is time to get off
 the bus on your selected route.

Re: Accessibility of app to control Philipps or Belkin WiFi connected LED light bulbs

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

Here is the first item I found when I did a google search for this product:

http://www.everyhue.com/vanilla/discussion/778/snoozy-2-0-is-launched

This is not quite what you were looking for, but it does work with the
above lights and the developer looks to be very willing to work with
accessibility.  Look down at the comments and see where the developer
mentions putting in many accessibility support items for blind-users.

I have not gone and downloaded the application, but may very well do
so in the near future.

 Subject: Accessibility of app to control Philipps or Belkin WiFi connected
 LED light bulbs



 Hi List,



 I was wondering if anybody has Philipps Hue connected light bulbs and
 whether the app is fully accessible. For those who don't know what this is,
 the product consists of a bridge which connects to your router and which can
 then talk to up to 50 light bulbs. You can then control said LED light bulbs
 via the free app and turn the lights on/off, set brightness level, change
 the colour of the light from regular warm white to any colour you can think
 of and create schedules which turn lights on or off at certain times and so
 on.



 The product is pretty expensive at this point, a starter pack with bridge
 and 3 light bulbs is $199.99, each additional light bulb is $59.99. You can
 get a bridge with 2 of the so-called Lux light bulbs for $99.99 and
 additional bulbs for $29.99. These less expensive bulbs can only be dimmed,
 but cannot change colour. There are a couple of styles like regular A19
 household bulbs or BR30 floodlights.



 I just saw that Belkin has released a competitive product under their Wemo
 line of home automation products. At this point they only have bulbs which
 cannot change colour and the pricing for those is the same as the Philipps
 ones. I really hope this drops in price to a point where bulbs would be
 $19.99 or so and maybe $29.99 for the ones which can change colour. You can
 pick up a good quality LED light bulb these days for around $8 or $9 so
 paying a $20 premium just so they can talk to the bridge is steep, but I am
 still wondering about the accessibility. If it comes to a point where all
 bulbs in the house are like this light detectors would for the most part
 become a thing of the past as eventually we would just tell SIRI to turn off

Bluetooth and handwriting issues in 8.1

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

I took the plunge and upgraded to 8.1.  Now I have two issues I have found.

1.  When using my bluetooth keyboard, even if quick nav is off, the
keyboard will not work in an edit field.  I need to cycle quick nav
back on, then off, and hit a space bar to start the keyboard working.
Then I can remove that space and type normally.

2.  When using handwriting in an edit field, I cannot change the mode
from lower-case to upper-case or any other option.  To do so I need to
first enter a letter in lower-case. Then I can change the mode and
delete that character if desired.

Anyone else having these issues?

Thanks,

That is correct.  The options there are for automatically adding any

added to this device, and any application updates that come out are
automatically applied to your installed applications.

None of these do anything with the Software Updates found under

 Subject: Re: numbers


 I wanted to give this a try. I am using an iPhone five. I have a fairly
 simple spreadsheet I need to update throughout the day.

 I recently was going to purchase it, but as my wife was buying a new iPhone

 5c, the Apple store clerk said it came included with her purchase. However,

 I cannot find it on her phone to try accessibility.

 Two questions: is it accessible enough on the iPhone that I could add
 entries into cells? Also, how does she go about acquiring the app that
 supposedly was included with her purchase?

 All thanks for any help.

Re: NEW VERSION OF MATH MELODIES

[Denny Schwab]

The author must have had some language identifier before the text,
which tells Jaws and VoiceOver to read it as a different language,
even though it is in English.  If you copy the text into Notepad it
can be read normally. Here is the text I copied out and pasted into
Notepad:

Dear friends of VIPhone,


At EveryWare Technologies we are very pleased to announce that at we
have released the first complete version of Math Melodies, a novel app
for iPad that helps visually impaired children to learn mathematics!

The app is now downloadable for free from the App Store at the
following link:
https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/math-melodies/id713705958?mt=8; at the
moment is available both in Italian and English language, but we are
also working on a German version.



Math Melodies is designed to overcome some of the challenges that
blind and sight impaired children have to face in learning mathematics
since primary school.

We want to make mathematics learning more engaging and entertaining
and that's why we have conducted some evaluations with children,
receiving enthusiastic feedbacks so far.



Math Melodies is aimed both at blind and visually impaired students:
the audio feedback assists the child in practicing arithmetic
exercises while sliding the finger over the tablet.

This first release is designed for children from the first to the
third grade of primary school, and includes 6 chapters of a tale
comprehensive of music and sounds, with 12 different type of exercises
(each with a different level of complexity).



We would like to invite all the people from VIPhone to try the
application and to let it try to children between 5 and 8 years of
age. If you want to let a visually impaired child try the application,
you can first read the for the grown-ups section where it is
explained how to do it.



Thanks to all and if you have any question please write us at
accessibil...@ew-tech.it!

Any comment or feedback is very important to us.

Well mine would crash only when i tried to enter text into a reply in
either the messages tab or the alliance forum.  It stopped crashing
when i reverted back to the previous version.  It looks like they are
putting out an update to fix issues with the version they just sent
out though, so we'll have to see if that fixes this issue for me.

Numbers Spreadsheet App

[Denny Schwab]

Hi group,

Not sure if anyone else has tried Numbers out recently, but I gave it
another spin last week.  I was very surprised to find that it is much
more accessible now than the last time I had tried it out.  Using the
Navigation setting in the router you can now navigate up and down the
rows in the columns.  I also no longer had the pop-up menu showing up
all of the time, as it use to do.  Selecting and editing cells is
possible now, though I had some issues doing so, but that may be only
due to not working with it much.

All-in-all it is a huge step forward in accessibility!

Re: Spreadsheet app

Hello,

Someone may have found one recently, but, at least a couple months
ago, there wasn't anything accessible as far as I could find.  Numbers
was probably the closest, but it was pretty unusable do to several
accessibility issues.  I do know there was talk of a couple others, on
this list, but I was unable to get them to work for me.

Good luck,

Editing Notes

[Denny Schwab]

Hi all,

I have not seen anything that mentioned a problem I have been having
since I updated to IOS 7.

When I paste text into a note, in the native Note app, I have trouble
editing it.  My workflow is to paste data from another app into the
note, go back to the other app for more data, and then try to add it
to the note I already started adding data to.  The note does not allow
me to edit it, even though it says it is editing.  It often has a
calendar event imbedded in it, but not always.

Has anyone seen this before?  The other app I am getting data from is
Lords and Knights, but I'm not sure that matters.

I can do the same workflow in Pages and it works out just fine.

Denny

Re: G-I-D Text messages in lock screen

Under notification center, in Settings, go down to Messages.  After
clicking on Messages, you move down to where it says show in lock
screen.  Disable that and you will no longer have your messages
showing up on your lock screen.  It doesn't matter if you keep it to
alert style, banner style, or no alerts.  As long as show in lock
screen is off you will not have your messages showing there.

 Good Afternoon all,

 I have a 5s running iOS 7.0.3 and suddenly today it started reading my
 text/iMessages when the lock screen in son.  I changed no settings!   Up
 until today it just told me I had a notification or something.

 So I double checked in generalaccessibilityVoiceOver and read in lock
 screen is set to off.

 I called Apple Accessibility and they were baffled.  I then reset (again)

 all my settings   Guess what?  I still have my SMS/iMessages read in lock

 screen.

 Also, if I turn off my iphone when I turn it on, right after I reboot it
 and it says VoiceOver on it fetches my email. Even without my having
 changed those settings.  I have it set to fetch to manually and mail was
 not in the App Switcher.

 I think I need to see a Genius.  I've had problems with this iPHone since

 I got it.  Not just the usual volume setting, but when I tried to use
 iCloud to restore it from my 4s some of the programs didn't come, like
 Pandora and I had to use my computer backup which then got me Pandora back

 but lost ringtones.

 I still have my 4s and wonder if I should whipe my 5s and set it up as a
 new device?  after re syncing my 4s as both cannot be in the cloud!

 Please help me.

 thanks,

 Katey

Re: Unsuccessful with Facetime to family phones

[Denny Schwab]

Do you need the different ICloud accounts?  The reason I ask is that
my wife and I have a shared Calendar between us, which we use the
ICloud shared account to keep updated between devices.  If we put in
different ICloud accounts, this data would not be updated, correct?

On 10/14/13, Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote:
 Hi, yes, here is how you can do this.

 1. Use just one single Apple ID, let's say from the main person who pays
 for the apps, ETC. That is what is signed into only the App Store on all
 phones or iPads or whatever.

 2. Each person who has an iDevice must have their own Apple ID, but not
 signed into the App store, instead signed into iCloud, iMessage, and
 Facetime. Once you do that, you can share apps with each other in the
 family, yet each of you retains your own identity for iMessage and
 Facetime and iCloud backups or other iCloud services.

 Hope that helps.

Re: In the Salero game there are 75 of my shops that collect gold, but I have about 123 structures in my castle

[Denny Schwab]

There should be a lot of ones with the same names.  If you recall
there were anywhere between one to three of each shop you could build.

 Hi how, some of the shops in my collection or duplicates, and some collect
 food and gold at the same time, or at least they are supposed to. I wonder
 if that is a problem that maybe the fruit ones that collect food and gold
 just do collect food. Anyway thank you all for the help any other opinions
 and suggestions would be appreciated. God bless, Wren

 Sometimes it takes a while for a shop to produce gold. You may have to
 wait 8 hours for it to show up. Even then, I have 120 structures in my

 which don't produce gold themselves. Maybe there are some food shops that
 don't produce gold but only food. You could go through your manage shops
 tab and tally up the structures while looking for ones that don't produce
 gold.

Re: Passcode entry with handwriting

[Denny Schwab]

I would try a three-finger swipe right.  This is the same as hitting
the return key.  If that doesn't work you could always use the router
to go to another mode, like word, and then swipe to the return or ok
button.

Re: Siri and relationships, how to use?

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

You tell Siri something like Jane Doe is my mother, Sandy Smith is my
sister, and Jim Dale is my brother.  You need the individual in your
contact list before doing this though.

Once set up you can say call my mother, text my sister, and email my
brother.  I am not sure if there are more options, but these are the
ones I use.

Denny

 Good morning all.
 How exactly do I use the relationships feature of Siri?
 I'm asking this as I asked Siri to text my eldest sister. He then asked
 who he should send the message to and that he needs a name, e-mail or
 phone number. However he knows who my eldest sister is and she is in my
 contacts. I tried asking him to text my youngest sister but the same
 happened. He also knows who my father is but not tried that yet.
 Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Lords and Knights

Hi,

I recieved the below answers for my questions from another list I am
on.  I thought others might find it useful:

As for the map, if scrolling and touching aren't enough, that's all
anyone has. Sighted folks don't get a distance reading either. I
suggest using the Send Resources or Support options when you tap a
castle to get a direct time reading.
As for the alliance, castle, and player links, double tap and hold to
activate them.

Another question.  Is there a way to change the focus on the map?  I

center on my own castle, no matter if I have clicked on a different
one before hitting that button.

 I know I have at least 180 wood as well as high numbers for stone and ore,

 In the taver, for instance, I see upgrade to level three, but when I

 I'm wondering if this game is really accessible or not.

 To send an attack, a spy mission, or support to another castle, you need
 to find the castle on the map and double-tap it.

Re: Lords and Knights

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

I just finished downloading and setting Celtic Tribes up.  It is
basicly the exact same game as Lords and Knights, but with a more
Barbarian/magic vibe.  You have the same interface, with things named
a bit different, and a few twists Lords and Knights doesn't have.

So the answer is it is as VoiceOver friendly as Lords and Knights,
since they have basicly the same interface.

Re: Lords and Knights

[Denny Schwab]

From what I have seen they do not auto-replenish.  Like your wood,
stone, and ore, the subjects are used up as you go along doing things
in the game.  To get more you have to upgrade the farm more.

Does anyone know much about alliances?  I have been contacted by six
or seven to join their alliance, but am not sure if I should or not.

Thanks,

Re: Lords and Knights Alliances

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

I am working on an alliance right now and was thinking it might be fun
to have anyone on this list that wants to join, and help each other
figure out this game from a blind standpoint, join up with the
alliance I am creating.  We could use the forum to share pointers and
ideas on how to play the game.

If you are interested, then just send me a note with the name of your
castle, so I can send you an invitation.

Thanks,

Denny

Re: Lords and Knights

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

At the top of the screne is a Castle Buildings button.  If you click
on that you should get an upgrade button next to each of your
buildings in the main screne of the castle.  You need to click on
those buttons to upgrade your buildings and people (such as your
lumberjack.)  You cannot upgrade from within the buildings themselves.
 These buttons will be grayed-out (say dimmed after the button name)
if you do not have enough resources to upgrade that item.

Re: Solara Arena battles + possible spoiler requests

[Denny Schwab]

Hi,

Actually for the two templors, huntress, and druid, I found a really
good way to deal with these and am able to defeat ones four levels
higher doing so.

I put in two templors, targetting the druid, since Templors will take
out any healer or magic user first.  Then I put in some big melee
guns, usually in slots one and two.  I found the Paliden and Dragoon
work good most times.  You don't win every time, not against castles
four levels higher, but normally every other.  It really doesn't do
too much good to field a healer of your own, since the two templors
will take them out almost right away.

As far as Palidens go, I would say try to overcome with magic as was
suggested before.  A thing I noticed recently is that Bards add to all
party members damage, not just warriors.  I tend to throw two
Sorcerous heros in, a Bard, and then a ranger.  If you want to go with
healing though you could use a bard or healer,instead of the ranger.
You are getting some heavy hitters with the bonus to attack when
coupled with the sorcerous ability to hit all of the enemy heros at
once.  Even Palidens don't tend to fare too well against that.  If you
go with the ranger, instead of a healer, then you are hitting multiple
heros with three of your own, and that adds up quickly.

 Were your heroes and the templers, huntress and druids in the party you

 You may consider this a bit of a spoiler.

 If your opponent has two templers, a huntress and a druid then you don't
 care about resistance to magic because they don't have any spell casters
 in their party. Since all of their heroes have high resistance to magic,
 I'd go heavy on melee damage, and I'd skip any magicians in my own
 party. Assuming we're all at the same levels, I'd go with a paladin, a
 champion, a huntress or hawkeye and a healer or druid. I like having the
 paladin around since they increase your parties armor and the champion
 will increase your parties attack damage. You could also go with a
 knight or a footman instead of the paladin and hope you take out the
 templers pretty quickly. That's what I'd try, but if all of the heroes
 are at roughly the same level, you may lose as many as you win just due
 to randomness.

 I like paladins a lot, and they're a good all around hero, but I might
 leave them behind if I'm going up against some magic damage. A templer
 might be a better hero in that case. If you don't care about resistance
 to magic at all then a champion, knight or footman have their advantages
 too. If you're going against a party with some warriors and magicians in
 it then a paladin is  my first choice because of their versatility. Like
 I said above, I also like pairing up a paladin with a champion since one
 improves the team's armor while the other improves the party's attack
 damage.

 like they are the all around top character.

 They have great armor, and have good resistance.

 I also saw 2 Templers with a druid and a character that cast poison
 darts, can't think of the character off hand.

 The 2 Templers were up front, and the poison character then druid. I
 tried matching this around with paladin, a footman, my hock eye and a
 druid for healing, and lost hugely.

 Anyone possibly give tips on how to match characters with paladins now?

 Any tips on how to handle multiple paladins in a contest, or multiple
 Templers in a contest would be appreciated.

 Thanks in advance.

Re: Solara Arena battles + possible spoiler requests

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

I do not believe there is a way to know that before hand.

I actualy have stopped using that button due to this.  Most of the
time it isn't very useful to use it, since you can't set up your party
correctly.

It is sort of like the quest area, when it doesn't list the monsters
you will be fighting.  I often have to battle the quest monsters
once,just to get an idea who they will be.  You might be able to do
that with this button, but I'm not sure that you would get the same
castle the second time or not.  Plus the actual battle screne doesn't
tell you what level the heros you are fighting are.

Thanks,

Denny

 I can't seam to pick a match that would take out the paladins. It seams
 like they are the all around top character.

 They have great armor, and have good resistance.

 I also saw 2 Templers with a druid and a character that cast poison
 darts, can't think of the character off hand.

 The 2 Templers were up front, and the poison character then druid. I
 tried matching this around with paladin, a footman, my hock eye and a
 druid for healing, and lost hugely.

 Anyone possibly give tips on how to match characters with paladins now?

 Any tips on how to handle multiple paladins in a contest, or multiple
 Templers in a contest would be appreciated.

 Thanks in advance.

Re: solara.

[Denny Schwab]

The basic idea of the game is to build up your castle, and to do
quests.  On the main screne of the app you will find many buttons.
The quest button allows you to go in and see what quests are currently
available.  If you do the ones in there at the start it is a sort of
tutorial, since those quests show you what things you need to do to
get your game started.  For example they have you use your heros to
fight and earn your castle experience and gold.  They also have you
build shops.

Back on the main app screne you can click on Build.  This is where you
go to build your shops and castle expansions.  Most things in here
cost gold, but some cost Esper.

Back on the main screne again you can find the button for your Heros.
In here you can view the stats for all of your Heros and can use gold
or food to level those heros up.  You can only level a hero up to the
max allowed for your current castle level.

I hope this helps get you started.  I am really enjoying the game, and
am very excited for the next update from the developer.

Re: solara.

Hello,

Yes there is a dialog.  If you do a four-finger tap at the top of the
screen, then you will go to the very top.  It is a dialog asking if
you wish to purchase food or gold, to complete the current thing you
have clicked on.  You should be able to click the close button if you
wish to proceed without purchasing anything.

Re: Solara Game Play, Discussion, and Ideas

[Denny Schwab]

Hi all again,

I sent the developer a bug report for an issue I saw in the Hero stats
section.  If you go into the hero section of the game, then click on
one of the heros with more data, for example Warlock, Druid, Ranger,
etc, then click on one with less data, Healer, Hawkeye, Sorcerous,
etc, then you will get incorrect data at the very bottom of the second
hero's data.  There will be an entry from the previous character
there.

An example would be if you went into the Warlock and then the Healer.
The healer would say it does it's normal heal ability, but also will
appear to do magic damage as well.  If you went into the druid and
then the healer, it would appear the healer would have two options for
healing, the one from itself and the second one of the druid's.

The developer has said this issue will be fixed in the next update to the game.

 You can rush the building of shops.
 It costs ESPER however, and the longer it takes to build a shop, the more
 esper it takes to rush it.
 You are given the option when you build the shop.

 Hi all,

 I just sent the developer of Solara an email asking for a few
 additional accessibility aids.

 I asked for the below three items.

 1.  Filtering or sort options for the arena.  I can get through the
 list there, but it gets a little sore on my wrist to flick right 400
 times to get through the entire list.  I mention that it would be nice
 to have the ability to filter out all recently defeated castles, and
 an additional idea was to give the ability to sort by level of the
 castle and such.

 2.  I mentioned it would be nice to get a message indicating how much
 space you currently have available to build in.  We can, as others
 have noted, always just try to build from the largest shop downward,
 eventually finding one that will fit in what space you have left.  I
 put this second request at a lower priority, since we have a work
 around that isn't too bad.

 3.  I mentioned the idea of giving a list of already built, and
 in-process, shops.  This way we could find the shops we have already
 built, or ones we are currently building.  There has been times I
 wished I could rush construction, but we don't get that option after
 we click away from the build dialog.  It would also give the potential
 to let us destroy shops if desired.  I told them that this doesn't
 have to be a way to navigate the castle as it is, but a simple listing
 of the shops currently in the castle.

 If anyone else thinks these are good options, then I would suggest
 sending your own messages to the developers on these, or to mention
 ones you would like to see.  I am seriously impressed with what the
 developer has done so far, and am interested to see what else they may
 put in place to make it an even better experience.

Re: Solara Arena

[Denny Schwab]

From what I can tell it depends on what configuration you are up
against.  if you go against a person with magic users, I.E. Mage,
Healer, or Warlock, then you should have a Templor (if you have one)
on your team.  The Templor gives you a bonus to resist.  The team you
use needs to help you take advantage of any weaknesses in the other
person's team, while helping to defend your team against any strengths
of that person's team.  To get a good idea of the strengths and
weaknesses, I put together a spreadsheet, listing all of the stats for
my heros, at their current level.  I then make an educated guess at
what the other team's heros will be at for their stats, and decide
which configuration looks best.

I will say I have not tried to defeat any person higher level than me,
and even have lost to some three levels under me.  I am the
first-place castle in the Gold Arena right now though.

 This is a blast. Ran out of food, debating to buy more to try and hold on

 As someone mentioned a while ago, it is truly how you position your men,

 I am curious of who is participated in the arena, I am wondering if I have

 Wow,

 If you are participating in the last hours of the tournament, then you know
 that it has gotten heated.  Until the last couple of hours have I seen the
 large hitters come in and take over the top 5 spots.

 I am holding on to number 5 by the skin of my teeth, and I am not even
 highly leveled.

 This is a blast. Ran out of food, debating to buy more to try and hold on a
 bit longer.

 As someone mentioned a while ago, it is truly how you position your men,
 and
 level takes part. I have gotten lucky and defeated a few castles 4 levels
 above me just how I used my men.

 I am curious of who is participated in the arena, I am wondering if I have
 battled you yet.

Re: Solara Game Play, Discussion, and Ideas

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

At each level there is a Castle Expantion option under the Upgrades
section of the Builder.  This is how you add height, and even width
(though that only has been offered once for me so far.)  When it is
available it will tell you if it adds height or width.

Thanks,

Denny

Re: Solara game: How to Make in-app Purchases?

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

From my experience you need to hit the button of what Esper you wish
to purchase, and then click it again to confirm your purchase.  One
note I have is that the form, to enter your password, is fairly hard
to get to work; it doesn't act like the normal App Store keyboard for
some reason.

Thanks,

Denny

 So you went to the IAP Store and Treasure and swiped down to the Esper
 section. I see an option for 200 esper for $1.99. The $1.99 is a button,
 so I would assume that by double tapping on that, you'd spend $1.99 of
 real money and get another 200 esper in your game. Is that not what
 happens? You can also get to the IAP Store and Treasure by double
 tapping on your esper amount at the top of the screen.

 BTW, I'm glad I checked since that's where my tournament winnings ended
 up, and you actually have to claim them before they end up in your gold
 stores.

Re: Solara question

[Denny Schwab]

I think I may have found my own answer for this.  It seems that you
may run out of space and need to do the Castle Expansions in the
Update tab of the Build window.  Each Castle Expansion adds one level
to your tower, and you may not have enough floors to build if you are
trying to do a multi-floor shop.  The notes I read said you may have
to do multiple Castle Expantions, without adding any new shops, if you
want to do a multi-level shop.

I found this info on the comments in the Applevis entry for this app.

Re: Grocery list creation app

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

A quick search of this group came up with the two below:

Paprika
Shopi

Paprika is the only one of these I have used, and it allows you to
create meal plans and then generate a grocery list from those meals.
I believe you can also just add items to the grocery list, without
using the meal plan options, but I have not tried that.  It is very
accessible.

Good luck,

Re: Moving by Pages in places Other Than The Home Screen

 However, this behavior is different while in an app like Tune In Radio where

 For example, if I choose a station from my favorites and if it doesn't start

 I've tried the three finger swipe left and right and this doesn't work while

MyWay Classic or MyWay Light

were between this and the MyWay Classic version.

I am mostly looking to use this as a tool for when I want to create a

reason to pay for the Classic version for this use?

I have no problem paying for the classic version if the functionality

purchasing the Classic version.  I.E. not have to spend money on
something I would never use.

 Hello,

 I just downloaded MyWay Light, but I was curious what the differences
 were between this and the MyWay Classic version.

 I am mostly looking to use this as a tool for when I want to create a
 route through parking lots, campgrounds, and such.  Would there be any
 reason to pay for the Classic version for this use?

 Thanks for the help,

Re: Most Accessible Spreadsheet?

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

I've downloaded many of the spreadsheet apps and have not found one,
including numbers, that is accessible.  Yes you can do some things in
numbers, but it does not allow for navigation of the table, editing of
the table, or really doing anything productive with regard to the
actual data you want to work with.  On the MAC it is different, but on
the IPhone and IPad it simply is not useful.

Denny

 Yes, I do mean Excel with Windows and Jaws. Sorry, by the way, I had said
 Pages and of course I meant Numbers. I haven't looked at other apps that
 come up for spreadsheets, but I assume some of them are apps like the
 various Office apps which read all sorts of Microsoft Office files and
 possibly allow for editing of such files, but to my knowledge they are for
 the most part inaccessible. The fact is, at least for me, that any app I
 use
 would absolutely have to be compatible with Excel files since in my retail
 business that is what I get from everybody.

 I search the app store for spreadsheet. I found at least 10 different

 When

 Well this app will run BrailleTouch for their money.
 It is another one of these Braille keyboard apps, with some unique
 features, such as Contracted Braille support, which may attract some of
 you. Another unique feature is tutorial mode, so you can get used to how
 the keyboard is laid out before actually entering text.
 One not so quite unique feature, as this is also available in

Re: Numbers on iPad

[Denny Schwab]

Thanks for that information.  I have been searching for an accessible
spreadsheet application for some time.  I have tried out probably a
dozen or so, but nothing that works.  Numbers is the closest thing I
have found, but, as you have noticed, it isn't at all useful.  I am
going to have to check out the rumor you heard on the IPad version,
and see if that works any better (if it exists...)

Thanks,

 Also, I can't figure out navigation and things keep popping up that I don't

Re: Has anyone tried the Numbers app Produced by Apple?

[Denny Schwab]

It is pretty much useless on the I-devices.  When you go into a
spreadsheet it does not let you navigate the table.  It also puts up a
pop-up dialog box anytime you touch an area of the table, which makes
even reading by just touching certain areas impossible.

I have sent Apple an email on this and they stated that they know
about the issues, but cannot give any more information on what, if
anything, they are doing about them.

Re: WRITING IN MS XL SPREADSHEETS

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

SQLed allows you to import a CSV file into a database.  It does not
give you any good way to view the data though.

I have not found any other spreadsheet, or database, application that
works much better though.  IDatabase does allow you to view the data
in a decent manner, but doesn't have any real good way to import data.
 If your database is small, with only a few columns, you can try to
open your .CSV file from DropBox to IDatabase, and it will import the
information that way, but it hasn't worked too well as far as I have
managed so far.

Thanks,

Denny

 I have looked at IDatabase for the phone but cannot see a way of

database

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

I have been playing around with database options for the IPhone.  So
far I haven't found anything that lets me view the data very well.  I
was wondering if anyone had found a good application for viewing the
data on their IPhone.

What I would like to be able to do is:

1.  Load data from a csv file or from a sqllite database into the application.
  **  I would prefer to be able to do this through Drop Box.
2.  View the data in a table format on the IPhone.
  ** and be able to navigate the table through VoiceOver.

I am currently using an application called SQLed, which allows me to
import the data from Drop Box, and set up my tables as I want them,
but it doesn't seem to give much in the ability to view the data.  So
far I have only been able to access the first two columns, but nothing
more.

I have been able to export the database to my MAC and then view the
entire table structure, and all of its data, in a MAC application.
This works when I am home, but not so much when I am out and about,
and wanting to do some work on the bus or something.

I have looked briefly into Bento, but it was very unweildy.  It took
several seconds for any swipes, when on the MAC, to be recognized, so
navigation, though accessible, was completely useless.   The IPhone
application seemed better, but I could not find a good way to access
specific records, since they were only designated by dates, instead of
IDs or Names.

Thanks,

Denny

Re: CLOSING THE SPEAKER WHILE CALLING

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

Can you explain that a bit further?  Do you hit the lock/unlock button
at the top edge, or do you touch the screen towards the top?

I have issues with the speaker going off and on, even when the phone
is up to my ear, so this would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Denny

Re: Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

I just downloaded this game yesterday and am finding it quite interesting.

My main question is how do the majority of people on this list
navigate the puzzle?  It seems pretty hard to figure out the layout
using VoiceOver.  The only ways I can see to review the layout is to
swipe left and right, or to touch the screen in different places.
There doesn't seem to be any way to flick up and down to review
verticly.  This makes it very hard to get a good idea of exactly how
the layout is.  It is way too easy, I am finding, to touch the wrong
square as you try to see what is directly above, or below, another
square.

Anyone else have a better way to review the layout?

If the developer is on the list, can they let us know why a flick up
and down option can't be put in, so that it is easier to get the
overall layout down?

Thank you,

Denny

 Hi,

 I haven't seen Robo-E mentioned in this group.  It is a puzzle game with
 full VoiceOver support.
 http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/games/robo-e

 The update includes more sound effects to make it clearer for VoiceOver
 users that the move registered and what kind of move it was.
 It also adds Game Center support and translations to French, Finnish,
 Italian and Portuguese.

 Full disclosure, I'm the author of Robo-E.

 Happy gaming,

Re: Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

That process works for now, but, at least for me, it tends to be not
very reliable; I tend to touch diagonal squares more often than not.

It seems that having a way to flick up and down, to reach the squares
directly above or below your current one, like flicking left and right
will get you to the ones next to your current square, would be a
really good addition to this game.

At my current level, level 7, it is not that big of a deal, but I
think it will become more of an issue as the puzzles become more
complex.

Thanks,

Denny

Re: Robo-E, puzzle game with VoiceOver support got an update

[Denny Schwab]

Hi,

I was mildly surprised to find that the virtical navigation worked
with this game.  In most instances I have found it to be virtually
useless.  For instance, I tried to use it in other table-oriented
applications, such as Numbers, and it was completely useless.

In the Robo-E game it works quite well though.

Thanks,

Denny

 Hi Christopher,
 Thanks for the suggestion turning Vertical Navigation on
  When the rotor is set to this option, the user experiences control of
 VoiceOver which is similar to using arrow keys on a desktop computer.
 Flicking up/down moves the user up/down, while flicking left/right continues

 to move the user horizontally. This feature will be especially helpful to
 those who frequently navigate with VoiceOver via a connected BluTooth
 keyboard, as well as in grid-based games or table layouts.

 The feature, interestingly, ignores artificial boundaries, meaning that if
 you navigate upward from the top row of a Home screen, you will find that
 VoiceOver focus has moved to the status bar.

Re: Spreadsheet app

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

I have not tried ISpreadsheet out yet, but the other is not
accessible.  I have tried a variety of other spreadsheet aps out and
have not, to date, found anything remotely accessible.  I will have to
look at the ISpreadsheet, to rule that one in or out as well.

I have contacted Apple on their Numbers application, their in-house
spreadsheet application, and they have told me they are working on the
accessibility issues with it.  They would not give a date that that
might be available though.

 This is like a bundle of apps.  It includes ISpreadsheet, plus a word

Re: Ringback tones and hotspot question

[Denny Schwab]

Hi,

Just a note on ringback tones.  Ringback tones are actually the ring
that the person calling you hears when they call.  By default this is
the simple ringing you hear when you make a phone call.  Some
phones/plans, I am not sure which, allow you to set a different sound
for this ringback tone.

Ringback tones are not what you hear when someone calls your phone,
but what you hear when you call someone else's phone, and is set up on
the phone you are trying to call.  I.E. If I set up a Ringback tone it
is what you would hear when you call me.

I do not have any information on how, or if, this can be set up on an IPhone.

 Hi Shane,

 Your second question first. The iPhone can be used as a WiFi hot spot
 without the need to jailbreak or use additional apps. Ever since iOS 5 I
 think it was, the Personal Hotspot feature is part of iOS and you can allow
 other devices to connect to your iPhone when your iPhone is connected to
 WiFi or, for that matter 3G/4G. Of course you have to keep in mind that in
 the States apparently using your ipPhone as a Hot Spot is not automatically
 included in your data plan or at least not in all data plans. Here in
 Canada
 the carriers don't charge extra for that no matter what plan you are on,
 but
 if you use data you might want to make sure with your carrier they won't
 charge you an arm and a leg.

 You can allow connections either via WiFi with a password, via Bluetooth or
 by USB cable. The latter basically means you can plug your iPhone into a
 laptop or desktop with the normal 30-pin or lightning cable and let the
 computer that is connected access the internet that way. I have done this
 many times when I was at a hotel where I could only connect one device to
 the hotel's WiFi, I would connect my iPhone and then plug it into my laptop
 which charged it and at the same time allowed me to get online with the
 computer.

 As for ringback tones I am not quite sure what you mean. If you mean can
 you set different ringtones for different people in your contact list then
 Yes.

 Sieghard

Re: Belkin @TV

[Denny Schwab]

Hello,

No this will not work hooked up to the antenna.  The way you set it up
is to hook your @TV up to your cable or satalite box.  Then you put
the IR blaster so it can send commands to the cable or satalite box
directly (I.E. point the IR blaster at the recieving sensor on the
cable or satalite box that recieves signals from the remote control.

You only have the same options as you have always had on your system.
This only allows you to play the feed from your TV to your IPhone,
IPad, IPod, or Mac.  and to remote control the TV from those units.
Your menus and such do not change.

Think of it as a unit that streams what ever is on the TV to your
devices.  With the added functionality of allowing you to control your
cable or satalite box from those devices.

 Will this thing work hooked directly to a regular antenna to receive the
 digital TV over the air and broadcast it on the network for the apps to
 receive? Also, will it support the alternate audio settings to turn
 description on when it's available? On the Dish box, you have to go way in
 the menu to set alternate audio, and it doesn't seem to work even on TNT,
 USA, etc that are known to have it at times. The antenna jack here is
 strangely on the opposite wall from the jacks for Dish and cable, so it
 ended up just about behind the recliner, and I'm about 30 miles or so away
 from the stations.

 Hi group,

 I have purchased the Belkin @TV and am happy to report it is very
 accessible.

 The Belkin @TV is a piece of hardware that allows you to watch your TV
 on your mobile devices.  You controll the television as if you were
 sitting on your couch at home.  I have it set up on an IPad 2 and an
 IPhone 5.  My cable provider is Comcast.

 Here are my findings so far.  I am still playing around and have to
 look into the On Demand and DVR pieces yet.

 The watching of the actual feed to the TV is very good.  You select
 the View @TV and what ever is currently on the TV will play on the
 mobile device.

 The remote is very accessible.  As with other video players, you have
 to double click the screne to get the remote to come back up after the
 video play takes control again, but all of the remote's buttons are
 read by VoiceOver.  If nothing else this is a good way to control your
 television from your IPhone or IPad!  Though the cost makes it a very
 expensive remote...

 Guide is good for accessibility.  I am still playing around with this
 as well, but there are a lot of items to scroll through on the screne.
 You can go through by heading, and can search for actual shows.  All
 in all it is all read quite well by VoiceOver, I just need to play
 with it some more.

 There are options for favorites, but I have not played with that part as
 of yet.

 The Belkin @TV hardware costs between $130 - $150.  The IPad app is
 free and the IPhone app costs $12.50.

 Thank you,

 Denny

Re: Pages

[Denny Schwab]

Numbers doesn't work at all with speach.  You can bring up a
spreadsheet, but then things go down hill fast.  There is no way to
navigate between rows, unless you swipe left or right the width of the
columns for the row, to get to the next row.  Also an edit dialog
pop-up seems to come up every time you touch a cell, not allowing you
to do much of anything.  In all I have found it completely unuseable
with VoiceOver.

 Hello.

 You need to buy Numbers. I do not have the exact price--I bought it back
 in
 2010 when I got my first iPad. Here is the iTunes link. It points to the
 iPhone version, but that doesn't matter.

 greatly
 appreciated.
