Hi Group,

In the past few hours, I have gotten a bunch of e-mails from this list filtered 
properly into my viPhone folder that contain only links.  I would think this 
must be some sort of Spam.  Is anyone else receiving these types of e-mails?

Re: Neck Speakers

2023-07-27 Thread Doug Parisian
Sieghard, I cannot provide a specific link and if I did, it might spoil 
your exploratory fun. You have the idea of neck speakers. My Monster is 
horse shoe shaped, fits comfortably around the back of the neck, and the 
two speakers face upward roughly on either side of the head. Though they 
may fee a bit heavy in the hand, one worn one could easily forget they 
have the device on as I have occasionally done.


My fuzzy brain says you are from Canada so:

www.amazon.ca

once there, select electronics in the drop-down box, tab over to the 
search field, enter "neck speaker" and spend money.



On 2023-07-27 3:13 p.m., Sieghard Weitzel wrote:


Can you provide a link for your Monster neck speaker?

By "neck speaker" do you mean those who look a bit like a large 
horseshoe and you hang them around your neck and the speakers then sit 
more or less on your collarbone on each side of  your neck, straight 
down from your ears?


There are many of them available on Amazon, my first one was made of a 
hard plastic and I found it less comfortable so I got another one 
where the part that goes around your neck is a thick, round and 
softer/flexible material. At the end of it then is the speaker part of 
each side and on the right side are your typical controls for turning 
the speaker on/off as well as play/pause, volume up/down and skip 
forward/rewind. The one I have does have a microphone and I use it if 
it's just answering a short call, but it's not really good enough for 
a long conversation.


It is of course incredibly rude when people talk on the phone let 
alone in a different language, I mean, where do we live? What is 
Canada becoming with so many people from so many different countries 
and cultures 藍


Then of course I may have been heard speaking Germany on the phone 
with my Mom or maybe my wife has dared to speak Filipino with her 
family. What I certainly would not want is fo reverybody around me to 
overhear not just one side but both sides of the conversation or to 
hear which audio book I am listening to. A GPS announcement is one 
thing, but that's about it and for me the neck speaker is something I 
use when I am working in my shop or in the garden and I want to listen 
to a book but not necessarily wear a headset.

Well gentle readers, perhaps I'm a little slow on the uptake here.

Apparently, neck speakers of various types and quality have been 
around for a few years. For reasons of which I'm not quite sure, there 
had never been a discussion of this audio alternative.


I bit the bullet and purchased a neck speaker made by monster. Were I 
more knowledgeable and attentive, I would have purchased one which 
included a microphone. For years, I had this damn silly idea that bone 
conduction was the way to go so I wouldn't disturb the rest of humanity.


Forget that; the rest of humanity has been disturbing me for years 
with one sided phone conversations, talking rudely on busses and other 
places, and even in a different language.


I ride the buses which in Winnipeg have major stop announcements 
announced for all to hear. When necessary, I have my GPS fill in the 
streets not announced including my distance from my chosen location.

Re: Neck Speakers

2023-07-27 Thread Doug Parisian
Alex and fans and non fans! I poked around on both the Canadian sites 
for Bestbuy and the source. Only Bestbuy had a few choices including an 
"unboxed" Monster which is the same as mine for $68. Mine was brand new 
from amazon for $69. That was on Amazon Prime days.


I did not purchase them for movies or music though they (sorry, it) 
sounds reasonable. Monster makes a big deal about being able to feel the 
music which in fact does absolutely NOTHING for me beyond being slightly 
annoying. Unlike a quality audio system, or concert,this unit has what I 
call "toy" bass. $25 apple ear buds sound much better!


Ears today, blown tomorrow.

There are so many GPS items which are accessible depending on the

add Points of Interest along the way that mark cross walks, streets, doors,

It doesn't matter so much if it is free, or if I have to pay for it.


I am looking for something that can show me what is around.

But also, a way to know where possible sidewalks are. But I am uncertain as to 
whether or not such a thing exists.


I am wanting to be able to walk to the rec center that is only about a 4th of a 
mile from my home.

However, I don't know if this is even possible.


Any thoughts, or suggestions are much appreciated.

previous versions.


I think I've been able to fix the problem but when I tried to use the 
basic test from Zoom, I was asked for an access code which of course I 
didn't have. I actually registered with Zoom and they sent me an 
invitation to test their service, with no code of any kind included.


Anyway, here's what I did in hopes of fixing my problem for a zoom 
meeting tomorrow. I've sending this to the list in cawe others have a 
solution or experienced the same issues with Zoom.


1 Open zoom and activate the tab at the bottom labelled as "more," it 
will say selected when double tapped.


2 Move below "settings." You might have to swipe around a bit to 
locate the settings.


3. Double tap "meetings."

4 Double tap "mute my microphone" and be sure that is set to off.

I have never had to play around in the Zoom settings before. Prior to 
my most recent effort, Everything just worked when activating the 
provided link in my invitation emails.


I make this noise by rubbing my hind legs together.

A Blind Truth
Microsoft Soundscape - Further Information
Firstly , thank you all so much for sharing my recent post about the

was shocked by the news.

Now, this is not a direct response to me from Microsoft - however…
Via a chain of contacts I have been lead to believe that one of the 
main reasons for Microsoft discontinuing Soundscape is that they don’t 
think very many people use it.Apparently they have no way of knowing, 
which I have to say rocks my world somewhat.
So, here’s the thing. Let’s let Microsoft know how much we use, and 
how much we rely on it for safety, independence and orientation.
You never know, this might be that one time when pester power actually 
works.
So,once again, please share this post far and wide, andlet’s see if we 
can get Microsoft to change it’s mind.

Re: voice ocr?

2022-11-24 Thread doug parisian

Mich and Richard, sorry for being slow on the reply, got a bit busy.

Anyway, I have used several Apps over the past 10 years and found the 
best overall recognition was done by Voice OCR. I have used the 
Microsoft offering and others which are now in suspended animation since 
Voice OCR reads cards, canned and packaged goods, and messy items the 
best of the bunch. And, I'm not sure why being a student is a strike 
against the developer. I have received any help I requested through the 
support feature of the App.

Most OCR I have tried can't read the embossed numbers on the cards;

My initial reaction was that you are being New York paranoid.

It is just as likely that a mugger could wack a blind person on the 
head, and put their finger on the device to unlock it if it has the 
home button.


I've never heard of either thing happening anywhere.

And, good luck to the thief who knows nothing about VoiceOver doing 
anything with the phone. Which leads me to my personal approach. The 
screen curtain is always on unless I need a sighted person's help, or 
want to show them something. So, again, good luck to the person who 
could use face ID to unlock my phone only to find a blank screen and 
something jabbering at them.


Also, if you are holding your phone out in front of you, rather than 
wearing it in a harness for orientation or directions, you are putting 
yourself more at risk.

disappearing with an unlocked phone and access to all the

their phone, this is not an unlikely scenario as the mugger can
take the device and just wait around and follow the visually

right, whip out the phone and get it unlocked without the owner

recognizing line breaks.


I don’t remember seeing this before.

I am still using IOS 15.7 on an SE 2^nd generation.

Have I accidently changed a setting some where on my phone?

I appreciate any suggestions,

Re: problem with deleting text messages

2022-09-15 Thread doug parisian
Donna, one possible fix when the phone won't talk is to connect to your 
computer. Once Itunes opens and settles, go to your phone and then to 
accessibility options. if they are on, switch then of and on again.


Also, try cursing and swearing!

Re: kindle

2022-08-13 Thread doug parisian

I think I understand the difficulties some are having with Kindle.

Specifically, in order to navigate in Kindle for specific text elements 
such as characters, words and lines, one must first select the desired 
unit with the rote and then swipe and down.


In apps such as Safari, one can move freely in any direction on the 
screen regardless of any text unit setting on the rotar. In these cases, 
the roter is used only to skip to a desired web page element like 
graphics, forms, visited and non-visited links, heading etc. Also 
included of course is screen recognition and describe images, and of 
course speaking rate.


I think I said what I know I meant.

Not that I can recall. It will use the Voice Over on your phone. If

then choose the book and enter on it, then you tab to the table of

Very accessible. The software for the computer, the iPhone and the

I also recommend using a wireless keyboard with it.

Re: Updates Please For accessible air fryers And Thermometers

2022-04-29 Thread doug parisian
The info seems a good start. However, if it is the same smart fryer I 
had just before Xmas, I returned it since I could not get it to work 
with Vesync. Perhaps if I could have turned the unit on by some remote 
app, it might have been satisfactory. I didn't find any Alexa info 
during my last purchase.


BTW, I've used Iphones since 2012 and still have the Instant pot which 
was almost made useless by the neglect of the manufacturer. Pressure 
from consumers I suspect caused them to continue support. However, I 
haven't checked the app store to see if the App is still available in 
the app store. However, my present instant pot app still works with IOS 
15.4.1. Not sure what will happen when apple releases subsequent updates.


Perhaps things in regards to accessibility for blind folks have improved.

The Second Edition of Personal Power

Hello everyone. It's been a long and strange couple of years. A
whole lot of people out there seem to have found the first
edition, with all of its many imperfections, to be of some help.
Given the very positive feedback and so many earnest hopes
expressed that I would update this guide, I have indeed done so.

As before, the guide is completely free to all. I encourage you to
share it with whoever you wish. Provided the guide remains
unaltered and freely given, I have no issue with this. If anyone
is willing to make the guide available in other formats, such as
DAISY, Braille, etc, you have my sincere thanks for making that
effort. I would request you share that effort with me so I can
make the files available to everyone along with the other versions
of the guide.

I have placed copies of the second edition of the guide in four
different formats. For most readers, I recommend the EPUB version.
It has an interactive table of contents and should be the best in
most cases. Many people requested a version in Microsoft Word, so
I've put the DOCX version in the directory. I've also created a
PDF version thanks to that option being available in Pages. It
works well in the Voice Dream Reader app, but I think EPUB is
still better. The final version is a plain text Markdown format
version of the guide. In it, there is sadly no table of contents.
However, you can search for headings denoted by one or more number
signs or hashes. This could be helpful for people who find that
the EPUB version fails to work for them. I also hope that people
will find ways to use this, or the other files, in the creation of
versions with active tables of contents, or other advantageous
format aids.

For ease of use, I have place these files in a shared Google Drive
folder. I hope this method of distribution will prove less
troublesome for people than prior attempts. The link to the folder is:

Re: Apple Music issue when playing certain albums.

2021-12-23 Thread doug parisian
Malcolm, I have been experience the problems as you describe for at 
least a month. I have an Iphone XR with IO 15.2. The only thing I 
haven't tried yet is scratching behind my left ear with my right hind leg.

Hello Jenn,

Thanks for the confirmation. May I ask what iPhone and version of iOS 
you’re using please?


I have tried everything I can think of to resolve this issue and 
establish a cause.


I have signed out of iCloud and back in, reset the device and erased 
all content and settings, set it up as a new device and put it in 
Recovery Mode and updated via iTunes but the problem remains.


I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max and am in the UK but I don’t think it is 
is not a geographical problem.


I cannot attribute the problem to the bit rate of the tracks as these 
vary between albums and have no apparent effect on the playback of 
tracks. Some tracks exhibit the problem while others do not. Even 
downloading the tracks to the iPhone does not change the outcome so 
presumably it’s not a network issue.


I could compile a list of albums that play as they should and those 
that do not, but I don’t think that would help.


The strange thing is that if I double-tap any track they play fine. It 
is only when one track follows another the problem is apparent.

Another album which is an older recording that is problematical is:

https://music.apple.com/gb/album/mascagni-cavalleria-rusticana-leoncavallo-i-pagliacci/691492718

As this protracted issue may be of little or no interest to other list 
members I will close by thanking you all for your thoughts and efforts 
to help me track down this issue.

The problem I and others have occurres when you play tracks in an

Thanks for the trouble you have gone to and your offer of further

 Hello,

Since updating to iOS15 I have noticed an annoying issue when 
playing many albums on my iPhone 12 Pro Max.


This problem is present no matter what device I am listing to the 
albums on.


If I choose to play individual tracks the problem does not appear.

If I choose to listen to an entire album then when track two, 
three, and so-on play there is a noticeable pause in playback when 
a track begins.  So when say track one ends and track two has 
started there is this pause in playback.


One album where this issue is present is ABBA’s recent Voyage album.

https://music.apple.com/gb/album/voyage/1583785050

I have tried all configurations of the Music App but without 
success.  I have tried downloading the album to my iPhone but the 
problem persists.  If I play the album via iTunes on my PC it 
plays without issue.


Would someone try playing the album from the beginning and see if 
they experience the pause I describe when track two begins?


Thank you in advance for your experiences and suggestions.

Re: Looking for feature-Rich Voiceover Air Fryer

2021-11-15 Thread doug parisian
Barry, thanks, I had considered the casori but the Proscenic had a high 
number of reviews with 4.6 rating on Amazon. I will, just to satisfy 
myself, try pairing with the Vesync app though I expect no results. 
Vesync looks almost too multi-purpose to cover all brands and Proscenic 
is comparatively new on Amazon though not so in other than north 
American markets.


If by some fluke all functions of the Proscenic are supported, I'll need 
to return it to Amazon since the Basket lock will not release from the 
containing drawer.


BTW, I think we met many many moons ago when Terry Green lived in 
Winnipeg, so you must be really really old! I haven't aged since that time.

Re: My Siri Isn't Working

Well well, there seems quite a run on big bad Siri being uncooperative. 
I experienced the same variety of issues a couple of weeks ago and a 
call both to accessibility and general support confirmed that all my 
settings were correct for effective use of Siri. Seems that the problems 
are occurring in specific areas; I wonder how many servers, relays, or 
whatever are supporting queen Siri?

Re: How can I answer the phone with gloves on?

2021-11-09 Thread doug parisian
There have been so many messages on this subject that someone may have 
already presented this solution which works very well for me.  With my 
phone set to auto answer, I need do nothing before the call is answered. 
This is awesome when my dog takes me for a walk, or if I'm in the tub 
with my model Titanic. If I'm not able to take the call, I simply shout 
either, "I'll call back,' or if it's a marketer, "I already have 3 of 
those." To set up auto answer:

Open settings and go to accessibility/touch
once in the "touch" area, wipe right to auto-answer calls and double 
tap. If you decide to turn on auto answer calls, the next items allow 
either a direct edit of time or you can choose to increase or decrease 
the length of time before auto answer picks up.

I've written this message very slow in case you cannot read very quick.

But if it’s that cold you have to wear gloves

Isn’t it then getting to cold for your phone to be out in the wintery air?



I just cut the tips off my polypro gloves but then the coldest we get is may be 
0 C in which case kiwis stay in doors rather than going out and getting cold.



Well sensible ones do anyway.



Or just cut the tips of your gloves fingers out so you can touch the screen

Re: screen time query

2021-10-31 Thread doug parisian
Alan, I have a different view of the value of screen time. First, it 
only shows once a week so for me, no deal at all. In fact, it is 
educational and revealing. It seems that I am spending about 2 hours per 
day which I suspect may be seriously modest. When I'm not feeling lazy, 
I'll adjust appropriate settings on both my Iphones to get a more 
accurate reading. I use one phone as an Ipad.


I don't play games on my devices. I do use a podcast app, a couple of 
GPS APPS, a broadcast receiver, a couple of book type programs, email, 
Safari, recipes, Amazon for shopping, Flip for Groceries, Flipp PC 
optimum and PC Xpress (shopping), instapot--and I know I missed 
something along the way. and yes, my phone rarely leaves me for any 
reason, even while in bed. Hey, who wants to get out of bed at 2 AM just 
to read a book, listen to a podcast, check the weather, etc.

Amazon Music Kills Voiceover

2021-10-20 Thread doug parisian
Subject says it all; I can register and subsequently move around the 
application. However, when I leave and return, voiceover gets quiet and 
there is no noise whatsoever from my Iphone XR with all recent updates. 
I have tried removing Amazon music from the task switcher and even 
reinstalling with the same results.


So, the obvious question--anyone else having this problem?

Help with My New Google Mini

2021-10-09 Thread doug parisian
    Well, for the very very few times in my little life, I won a Google 
mini. I could likely scan most of the instructions but would be happier 
for a web or text version of the manual.


I did finger some of it out including downloading the Google home app. I 
would prefer reading instructions on a different device so I could 
implement then as I go using either the home app or Mini features as 
directed.


BTW, this mini is shaped like those chocolate cushion-shaped cookies 
with the goo inside.

Hello List,

As the subject line states, I’m looking for a tripod that can hold my 
XR. I do have a tripod that in a pinch can do the job, but I got that 
for my old SE back in the day. This now means that my XR is a bit too 
top-heavy to reliably use it.


If anyone’s using a tripod that can comfortably hold an XR or the 
bigger iPhone models, I’d appreciate your input. Don’t need something 
like a selfi-stick or any sort of Bluetooth connectivity. Just 
something to securely hold a larger iPhone to FaceTime and whatnot.


Thanks

Re: Transferring from Iphone 8 to Iphone XR

2021-08-27 Thread doug parisian
Sieghard, As mentioned earlier, I've set up several Iphones but never 
had one which used the contact message. On my Iphone 8, I purposefully 
changed the setting in camera from Video to Photo when the first contact 
didn't work, assuming it might have been the Video setting. Nothing 
changed when I set it to Photo so that wasn't the problem.  My first 
attempt might have been sloppy as the Swiping instead of the button is 
new to me. I now have it practised and mastered.


Having accomplished this mastery, I decided to try again after starting 
from scratch and setting up the XR as a new phone; still no luck.  If 
one only gets one chance despite starting from scratch, I consider this 
a serious bug.


On 2021-08-27 6:15 p.m., Sieghard Weitzel wrote:

First of all, there is no need to open the Camera app.
When you get to the point where you have to scan the screen, it's the screen on 
the new device which you have to scan with the old device. Here is what is says 
in the Apple article about Quick Start:

Turn on your new device and place it near your current device. The Quick Start 
screen appears on your current device and offers the option of using your Apple 
ID to set up your new device. Make sure that it's the Apple ID that you want to 
use, then tap Continue. If you don't see the option to continue on your current 
device, make sure that Bluetooth is turned on.
Wait for an animation to appear on your new device. Hold your current device 
over the new device, then center the animation in the viewfinder. Wait for a 
message that says Finish on New [Device].
If you can't use your current device's camera, tap Authenticate Manually, then 
follow the steps that appear.

Here is the link to the entire article, I have done this with my iPhone 11 as 
well as my wife's iPhone 11 Pro when we upgraded from the iPhone 8 we both had 
before and it worked just fine.

from one phone to the next has to be done almost at the very beginning of the 
initial setup, I don't think you can do it after the fact.

Subject: Transferring from Iphone 8 to Iphone XR

First, I'm no stranger to both setting up a new Iphone, or successfully 
transferring all data from one phone to another using Itunes.

The Iphone XR is the first one I've used without a home button. I called apple 
disability support to save me time digging through the apple site and Iphone 
manual. So, I learned how to invoke SIRI with the side button and the swipe up 
from the bottom etc to bring up desired screens.

However, I get no response when holding my new Iphone face over the old Iphone 
also face up no matter how I move the new phone to get focus from the front 
camera of the old Iphone. What am I doing wrong? I've already tried cursing and 
swearing!

Hope that all makes sense?

Doug,

It's been awhile since I've set up a new iPhone and transferred content from an 
old device to a new device which it sounds like what you're trying to do. I 
thought during the setup process that Voiceover was pretty clear what needed to 
be done when you got to that step. What versions of iOS are running on your two 
devices? I'll let someone else who has more recently transferred content from 
one device to another during the setup process comment on where that step 
happens.

Instapot APP ALIVE AND WELL!!!

2021-07-28 Thread doug parisian
Yes, it's true, I just got an update for the instapot APP on my Iphone 8 
using the latest IO release 14.7.  Guess the instapot gang may have 
taken quite a beating over their unfortunate error of their ways. I 
doubt whether an angry bunch of blind apple folks alone tipped the 
balance. Maybe someone could check out the instapot social media links 
to see if they took a serious beating for their mistake. It would put a 
song in my heart to hear how David slew Goliath!

Re: Sennheiser Connect accessibility

2021-07-11 Thread doug parisian
Sieghard, strange how some folks actually missed my original question 
which was of course about software and not any reference to hardware 
quality. I did in fact choose the particular model of Sennheiser for all 
the reasons you stated in your two messages; you saved me a lot of hard 
work!. And, there is another reason; I'm chancing purchasing a reduced 
price model from the Amazon warehouse. The original price for the 
Sennheiser was $370.44, warehouse price $245.85. I have already proven 
the Amazon "easy return" policy, having been a happy customer since 
2012. Muy second close choice was in fact the Anker Q35.

overly loud music or whatever from any headset is not very good for you in the long run 
and sound quality is not determined by volume. What sets apart a truly good headset or 
speaker is whether it still sounds good at a not so loud volume. Anker just as TripIt 
makes a decent product for a relatively cheap price, but there is typically a reason why 
somebody who can afford it will spend 5 or 6 times the amount what one of these less 
expensive products costs.

Sennheiser Connect accessibility

2021-07-10 Thread doug parisian
Well gentle readers, I think I might be buying the Sennheiser PXC 550-II 
Wireless – NoiseGard Adaptive Noise Cancelling, Bluetooth Headphone with 
Touch Sensitive Control and 30-Hour Battery Life (that's likely more 
than anyone wants to know and I'll never commit the whole thing to 
memory.) Anyway, I downloaded the Sennheiser Connect APP for my Iphone. 
This app needs a supported Sennheiser device to open up it's features so 
I couldn't go beyone the first intro screens.  I was required to check 
the usual items agreeing to the license, terms of privacy and blah blah 
blah. While maybe not a bitg deal, I smelled the faint scent of a skunk 
not knowing for sure whether the boxes were checked or not. Fortunately, 
if they are checked. the accept button states being not dimmed and it 
works. The App only gets a 2 out of five rating on the App store; I 
haven't yet read any of the reviews.

Re: Insta pot

2021-06-08 Thread doug parisian
Well gentle readers: I have 3 older iphones which will not accept the 
most recent updates. I am using an Iphone 8 which does accept the 
updates but of course is no longer friendly to instapot.


And boy, do I have a deal for you-all, maybe!  I am willing to give a 
sad instapot owner one of the oldie mouldier phones set up as a new Iphone.


Sadly, I have no ink for my printer and have no intention to replace the 
cartridges; I might need to print something once or twice a year.


Here's the thing! To get one of these relics you need to send an 
addressed and stamped padded envelop to me. Not sure of postal cost for 
the phone? Five bucks should cover it. This might not be so good for 
folks other than Canadians and possibly US folks. I get to keep the 
change and American exchange, my tip.

Re: Call recording apps

2021-05-24 Thread doug parisian
Wasn't there a device at one time with a suction cup one could stick on 
a specific part of the phone, like the receiver to record a phone call.  
I recall in my distant dark past having one though I preferred to attach 
alligator clips to a part of the phone which allowed me to use my 
recorder both for recording and as a fancy speaker phone.


Damn, that was almost 50 years ago; the joys of being a t eenager.

Re: Upgrading Iphone 7

2021-05-07 Thread doug parisian
David, thanks for what I suspected.  Yes, auto updates are turned off.  
I'll eventually commit the many tangible buttons on instapot to memory.  
Further, I have no reason for updating IO on Iphone 7.  I had originally 
planned to hand in a couple of retired Iphones to Apple for whatever 
bucks I could nab but just never got to it, then I learned just in time 
about Instapot.  I had already properly wiped my Iphone 7 which had only 
16 GB.  My 8 has 32GB and managed to get the larger backup sufficiently 
restored on 8 to include Instapot.  I don't care about the rest of the 
apps since 7 if only to be used for instapot.


And don't get me started on the moral bankruptcy of appliance 
manufacturers.  Example, a talking microwave need not cost anywhere near 
$300 but that isn't for this list.

Hi Doug,

An iPhone 7 can run IOS 14.x so if you attempt to upgrade it, IOS 14.5.1 would 
get installed. IOS only upgrades to the latest version. If support for your 
Instapot was broken in IOS 14 and you want/need to use the Instapot app, then 
don't upgrade.

I have read about the problem with Instapot dropping support for the bluetooth 
version of the Instapot. Is this what you are running into or is there a 
separate problem with the app for Instapot? I have heard that the WIFI model 
Instapot is working OK but that does not help all those who bought the 
bluetooth model and the WIFI model is more expensive.

One last thought - I'm sure you've done this but make sure you have "automatic 
updates" turned off on your iPhone 7 to prevent the upgrade to IOS 14.5.1.

Re: trouble entering pass code on se 2020

2021-03-06 Thread doug parisian
Louise, I think I have your password keyboard moving characters solved.  
And yes, I too miss the password clicks but I simply keep entering the 
requirements and the field does indeed get filled.


Now then, once in the edit field, you can use the rotor to select 
exactly how you want your keyboard to respond when entering characters,  
To keep things short, I set my rotor as follows:


1I select "slide to type" to on.

2. Turn your rotor until you hear "typing mode." Swipe down until you 
hear "touch typing."


If you follow these steps everything will go as smooth as silk. With 
these settings, you simply slid your finger around and lift it when you 
year the letter or symbol you want, and it just works.  There might be 
one more adjustment you need to make in settings which I don't recall 
off hand.  Let us know and I'll dig it up if this doesn't work for you.

Try the following, and see if this will work for you:

1.  With the passcode keypad on your iPhone’s screen, touch anywhere 
on your iPhone’s screen.


2.  Swipe left or right until you locate the first digit of your 
passcode, then perform a 1-finger double tap, anywhere on your 
iPhone’s screen to enter this digit.


3.  Repeat the above procedure until all the digits of your passcode 
have been successfully entered, and your iPhone is unlocked.


This method may work better for you than trying to move your finger 
around the screen to locate each digit of your passcode.

subscription

Until one or the other figure out how to separate columns, I won't bother doing 
books.

As for documents, I think they do a pretty equally good job.

I honestly do not know if Tomas Wardega has stopped making the FOPYDO stand, or 
if he has just had to stop selling them directly due to his stupid post office 
requiring too many hoops to allow him to send free matter for the blind.
At one point, he was going to sell them through the NFB Independence Market.

As far as my favorite stand, I'd say they are tied.
The Scanner bin is great if you are not traveling.
But, if I knew I was going somewhere where I might need/want to scan some 
documents or whatever, I would take the FOPYDO as it is easier to collapse and 
take with.
The Scanner bin will collapse, it is just bulkier and I think might not take as 
many repeat collapsing and setting up again.

I now default to the scanner bin at home because I have it on a shelf and just 
pull it out and do my scans.  No setup required.

HTH,

Hi richard,
Is this scanner been your new favorite scanning stand? I know you liked that 
other one, from Thomas somebody, whose last name I don’t remember. I guess he’s 
not making it though. The  have you compare scans of regular documents or books 
between super sense and voice dream scanner?

Re: Iphone and voice control

2020-12-20 Thread doug parisian
Not sure I agree that voice recognition can be made to work perfectly 
with VoiceOver without headphones.  I think that, in order to be certain 
of no conflicts between voice control and VoiceOver, Voice Control will 
need to recognize and filter out any spoken information given by 
voiceover regardless of which voice the user selects.  I love using 
voice control when wearing some type of head set.

Whether it will ever be is hard to say, one should never say never, but I found 
it is way too much trouble to be worth it for me.

Can Voice Control and VoiceOver be used at the same time or does one need to

Looking for a 10 band voiceover friendly equalizer

2020-12-07 Thread doug parisian
Well gentle readers, in my not too humble opinion, apple embarrassed 
themselves with that unfortunate excuse under music they call an equalizer.


What I really would like would be a 10 band equalizer with the ability 
to store at least five favourite configurations (or more.)  I see 
several in the App store but am hoping not to have to try every one of 
them.  I would like said equalizer to be independant of other apps but 
would allow other apps to use the equalizer features.


I also want a Bryston 4B or equivelant amp for Xmas, BBG!

I have read several messages claiming voice control works poorly with 
voiceover.  In fact, this is logical when not using any external 
listening devices.  The mike is constantly listening and so may react in 
unexpected ways to a word or phrase spoken by Voiceover.



So, if you want/need to use voice control, do so with an external device 
with a microphone.  I love voice control for many situations and only 
wish it could be used to activate features of programs once opened.

Go to settings, Accessibility, Touch, and the last item is BackTap. 

You can turn it on, then define two gestures: a double backtap, and a triple 
backtap.

Get Siri talking and start tapping the up volume to get it back to the volume 
you want.
It should, note I said should, remember that level after that.

My Siri tone as well as the voice which answers questions is way down after I 
just installed 14.1. I have restarted my phone twice to  know avail. Other 
tones, such as the tone for when the mail comes in, are not affected. Voiceover 
volume is fine. But Siri voice and Siri tone are so quiet I really can’t hear 
them. The tone for dictation is also affected.

I hope this Applevis rant doesn'e turn to a butchering party.

2020-09-25 Thread doug parisian
I have benefited from both this list and the outstanding work on 
Applevis since about 2012.  The lack of a specific search field seems a 
recent direction; not sure this strategy is the best for novices to the 
site.  I haven't activated any of the items in the drop down replacement 
for the search field to see if there is then a field offered after the 
selection.



In any case, applevis has always been a treasure trove for me as have 
various lists.  If the web site is such a big issue, why not join and be 
constructive?  Pardon silly old me!

Following up on the comment about people needing to use Applevos.com 
before asking questions on this list…


I just went to Applevis.com with Microsoft Edge and with Firefox.

There are no search boxes, none, nada, nowhere.

If you are looking for information on an app, you cannot simply 
search for it.


You have to drill down through many pages to get anything.

Even, after following the link from the main page titled, “Apps,” and 
you find the heading for Apps, it says:


Apps

article

Here at AppleVis we strive to make it easier for you to find great 
and accessible apps to use on Apple products.


From this page, you can browse and search our directories of iOS, 
iPadOS, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV apps; see what apps others are 
recommending; and


see which iOS and iPadOS apps our community has inducted into our 
Hall Of Fame.


So, I followed the link to search, then you have a bunch (I was going 
to say s***load, but thought better of it) of more links with not a 
search box anywhere to be found.


So, at this point, applevis is only marginally useful, especially for 
someone who is a beginner.


I have been using iDevices since they became accessible and can find 
what I need most of the time without resorting to asking too many 
questions on the list, but I used to always refer people to Applevis, 
especially for their blog about updates, and I will still recommend that.


But as a source to find information about specific apps, or just apps 
in general, it is a crazy rabbit-warren of trails that I won’t be 
bothering with.

Re: How I solved most of my voiceover iOS 14 problem how I solved most of my voiceover iOS 3 team problems

2020-09-25 Thread doug parisian
Cristóbal, Misery loves company; thanks for yours, I've experienced the 
same grievous issues.  And yes, I will voice my concerns to apple 
plagiarizing a little from what you offered here.



I also experience issues with cursor skipping around along with 
occasional "machine gun" clicking almost like the Voice over cursor is 
having a heavy duty battle with whatever methods are used to highlight 
the screen for sightlings.



In the app store, the swiping will skip past the next item and a 
backward swipe, then forward again hits the desired spot; it's a damn 
lot of scraping and grinding such as I described also in settings.



I can't get to the "clear forms" item neither from swiping back to that 
control or forward to it.



I'll bet that a blind person using chop sticks to gather up peas on a 
plate is less challenging than some of the behaviours of IO 14.01.  I've 
never experienced such a mess since I started with Iphone in 2012.


On 2020-09-25 11:59 a.m., Cristóbal Muñoz wrote:


I have this exact same problem on my XR. Still present in iOS 14.0.1.

Also, if I want to backspace and delete a bunch of characters, what 
I’ll do is double tap and keep one finger on the delete button and 
split tap with another finger as many times as I need with VO 
announcing each character that’s being deleted. I’ve found this at 
least for me a quick way to batch delete characters or a word or two 
than selecting the text and then deleting or double tapping the hell 
out of the delete key etc.


Anyway, now when I try doing that in iOS 14, every time I split tap, 
the cursor is placed at the beginning of the edit field and text. This 
has pretty much broken the ability to backspace multiple times via 
this method.


Another issue that I don’t think others have mentioned is that now, VO 
can’t maintain focus on the dictate button. Whenever I try to gain 
focus on the microphone to dictate something anywhere in the OS, VO 
flickers and studders and the haptic feedback I get on the iPhone is 
like it’s doing the jitterbug. I now have to use the two finger double 
tap on an edit field to initiate dictation. So now, dictating has 
mostly become a two handed action instead of one simple one handed 
action. Super annoying.


I too sent Apple accessibility a screen recording as well as a 
diagnostics log at their request.


They said that they’re aware of it, but come on.

Regarding the VO focus thing. Yes, it’s all over the place. I can’t 
use the 1Password option to autofill log in credentials if say I have 
to select from a list of options as VO gets stuck on either the cancel 
button or the edit field. The built-in dictionary feature is also 
broken as VO can’t get past the done button when you look up a word. 
And on and on.

*Subject:* RE: How I solved most of my voiceover iOS 14 problem how I 
solved most of my voiceover iOS 3 team problems


For me the Reset did certainly not resolve the focus issues on the 
Today screen or how when you swipe left from the top of the Inbox or 
message list you get stuck on the search box etc. I initially did the 
reset because I have another issue on my iPhone 8 where when I tap on 
any edit field and Voiceover says "text field is editing,, characters, 
insertion mode at start" this text is repeated with every letter I press.


Here is an example, let's say I open a message in the Messages app and 
I want to reply to a text. I double tap on the edit field and 
Voiceover says:


Message, text field is editing, iMessage, characters, insertion mode 
at start


So I'm now in editing mode, Voiceover tells me it's an iMessage and I 
know my rotor is set to characters and I'm at the start of the field 
which of course is empty at first.


Let's say I want to start with "Hello", so now I type an "H", here is 
what I hear:


Message, text field is editing, H, characters, insertion mode at end.

Then I type the next letter, the "e" in Hello and I hear

Message, text field is editing, He, characters, insertion mode at end.

Now I type the first L and Voiceover says:

Message, text field is editing, Hel, characters, insertion mode at end.

After I type the last letter, the "o" it will say it all over again 
now speaking the entire word Hello in the middle and as soon as I 
press the space it will repeat it again all over and then I start with 
the next word and so on. Even if I accidently type a wrong letter, it 
will repeat it all when I press the delete key, for example, if I had 
typed an "r" instead of the "e" in Hello it would say:


Message, text field is editing, Hr, characters, insertion mode at end.

If I then press delete to get rid of the r it would repeat but again 
only saying H and as you can see this is very annoying. I had 
initially asked Richard if he had noticed anything like that, but 
since I did also not read anything

Re: Any Accessible Grocery App in Canadian Store?

2020-07-08 Thread Doug Parisian
There are at least 4 shopping-based apps and Windows applications having 
various degrees of accessibility.  As a person living with no sighted 
backups, my favourite place which is almost totally accessible is:
www.superstore.ca

Superstore is under the Loblaws umbrella where there are several stores 
depending on where you live.  using the superstore sige in Winnipeg, I can 
browse flyers, add selected items to my shopping cart, and on check-out 
either choose to pick-up or have it delivered.  At this point, in store 
pick-up is free for oldie moudies like me (seniors) or pay a delivery fee 
to have that done under instacart.  I have not shopped using instacart 
since I prefer to pick up my food with no charge.

Flipp.com would be my second choice for shopping where I do not use the 
Loblaw's offering.

I strongly agree with David Andrews assessment of the IOS Kindle App.  
Unlike my windows version, there seems no way to move through smaller 
units than a page, like lines, words, and characters.  It is therefore 
impossible using the IOS version to look up specific words, check the 
spelling of unfamiliar words or names.  I can do all the above using the 
windows app with NVDA. The choices of desired voices has nothing to do 
with the IOS kindle app.



and truthfully unrelated but I need to say it, the Alex voice is way 
beyond annoying with that fake contrived gasping--way beyond awful!

Re: Recording video without camera sounds and speech

2020-05-06 Thread Doug Parisian
This sounds like a future choice which should be built-in to the Camera app 
itself. Meantime, try using a set of headphones since the phone won't hear 
itself. This is a similar problem when using voice control with speech. Again, 
are use headphones so the phone doesn't hear itself.

I have signed up with uber eats. It asked me for my phone number and I 
discovered it didn’t want our landline but a number it could text to. Ok, so I 
gave it our cell number and it sent the 4-digit code which I entered—well and 
good. However the trouble comes now. When I launch the app on my iphone 7 or 
ipad, it wants my cell number every time and wants to send a new code. The 
inconvenience  comes because of this. The device I received the code on is not 
the device I intend to order on. My iphone is not hooked to a cell account and 
we are using a blindshell phone as our cell phone now and it doesn’t support 
apps. The desktop interface seems to work ok but I haven’t delved much into the 
guts of it yet. Am I doing something wrong?

Re: bug in settings dialogue ios 13.4.1

2020-04-14 Thread Doug Parisian
The bug you mention occurs on my Iphone 8 in several places, web pages, an 
online ordering app from the Canadian Loblaws, Safare, The app store, Dominos, 
and no doubt I have missed others; well beyond damned annoying.  Many such 
concerns have been aired on the applevis web site.  The situation seems serous 
enough that a fix should have been forthcoming.

Hi folks
 
In some dialogues it is hard to find settings by flicking right. For example: 
the voiceover dialogue. You can easily read all stuff but after the speech rate 
setting, flicking right you are brought back to the beginning of the dialogue. 
However there is much more stuff that can be set. You can only reach that by 
holding your finger on the screen and sweep down to the audio or speech 
settings and then flick or double tap again. Can this bug be confirmed? In my 
oppinion this is a tramendous focus bug that needs to be reported as much as 
possible.
After having waited for 8 months now I eventually updated my phone and this is 
the first bug I come across that had never been mentioned before.

Pretty much the same way. 

The commas determine the pause.

You may have to experiment with how many commas get the delay needed before 
your account is entered, then again for the pause before the pin.

Yes,

You could set it up on your phone and then copy it and paste it in an Email and 
they can either activate the number from the Email or put it in their contacts.

In the iPhone contacts, add the phone number as always, but then find the shift 
key, which is in the lower left part of the phone keypad when you are entering 
a number in a contact.

Tap that once and the 4 will now be a comma.

Repeat for as many commas as you think you will need before the code.  Usually 
2 or so works for me.

Then, enter the code, followed by the pound sign or number sign, you may need 
to use the shift again and then the pound sign is below the 9, or is it in 
place of the 9.  Not sure right now.

Then, if it is like some systems I’ve used, there is a delay before the system 
says press star to enter as host or pound to enter as guest.

I find two or three commas before another pound sign usually works fine.

 

HTH,

Richard

This conference call has a meeting code once they dial in the main phone number.

Is there a way of getting this to happen?  I was wondering if there was

number and code.

Any ideas?

incredibly sluggish. I mean really low, like even slower than my 4s was! But 
after about five minutes or so, that sluggishness goes away and the phone

Either way, the sluggish operation happens each and every time I restart the

RE: Phone Starts Slow-ly

2020-01-05 Thread 'Doug Oliver' via VIPhone
I had to stop and start voiceover a couple of times and finally took care of 
the problem.  I know it's tedious, but it's a workaround.

Subject: Phone Starts Slow-ly

I recently updated to iOS 13.3 on an 8 Plus, and I'm noticing a behavior I 
can't fathom and don't like. Immediately upon iOS startup, the phone is 
incredibly sluggish. I mean really low, like even slower than my 4s was! But 
after about five minutes or so, that sluggishness goes away and the phone 
operates at normal iOS 13.3 speed. Or should that be normal 8 Plus speed? 
Either way, the sluggish operation happens each and every time I restart the 
phone. Has anyone else experienced this and solved it? If so, how'd you do it?


TIA

RE: what to do to decommission an iPhone?

2019-12-26 Thread 'Doug Oliver' via VIPhone
I did exactly that, Steve when someone bought my IPhone 8.

Matzura
Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2019 2:22 PM
To: viphone@googlegroups.com
Subject: Re: what to do to decommission an iPhone?

1. Turn off "Find My Phone if it's on."

2. Sign out of everything associated with your Apple ID. This may include 
iTunes, the App Store, iCloud, and possibly other things.

3. Go to Settings -> General, and at the bottom of the screen, find the reset 
buttons, and choose the one indicating it will erase all content and settings.

4. Confirm/acknowledge all the warning dialogs that appear. This may include 
having to enter the phone's passcode (if there is one).

5. If VoiceOver is running, which I presume it is, it will eventually stop 
speaking, your phone will go through a reset procedure, then restart, 
displaying the screen all iOS devices show when they are brand-new.

6. Hand the phone to its new owner and tell them to enjoy their new phone.


Note: I did this on an older phone recently, and ran into a problem after 
having signed out of iCloud. I had to sign back in again to complete the 
process. Then I had to go to apple.com and remove that device from my account. 
Apple makes no asumption about what one does with one's own hardware, so this 
last step is on you, the user.

I used to make real good money on CL, but it’s been spammy and dead like that 
for a while now. Whenever I flip an iOS device or stuff in general, it’s via 
marketplace, offer up, nextdoor etc. CL is still ok for things like cars or 
appliances and for maybe sourcing wholesale or liquidation, but that’s it.

Foldable blutooth keyboard that’s recharging

2019-12-06 Thread 'doug oliver' via VIPhone
Hello everyone,
Who’s ordered the blutooth keyboard for $28 on amazon, and can tell me a bit 
about it.
I’m understanding this keyboard shuts off when you fold it closed.  But my 
biggest question is can you use it with voiceover pretty well? Or will I have a 
bit of a struggle?
Also on the note about blutooth keyboards and voiceover, another question I had 
about voiceover and blutooth keyboards anyhow.  Is there a way to do a select 
all on the IPhone like you can on a Mac PC?
Many thanks,
Doug
Ps, have a wonderful weekend,
All.

Hello,
On my iPhone 8 plus  running iOS 13.1.1, I have noticed that email is
not downloading from our corporate exchange server until I open the
mail app. Once the mail app is opened, I still do not receive a sound
notification that email has arrived.
Is anyone else experiencing difficulty with this?
Thank you in advance for any responses.

RE: Siri claims I have no voicemail messages and refuses to dial!

Hi

The way to get around this is to put messages in the first name field in 
contacts and the phone number field put 1571000 and ask siri to call messages

Subject: Re: Siri claims I have no voicemail messages and refuses to dial!

Im in the uk and it may be different here. I have an iphone XS with a BT SIM 
and an iphone 7 with Giffgaff. I can access voicemails on both iphones eitger 
from the Voicemail tab in the Phone app or by manually dialing the carrier’s 
voicemail number. But siri says she cannot dial the numbrrs and if asked to 
call voicemail, she claims i have no voivemail messages. The workaround on my 
iogone 7 is to create a new Contact called Giffgaff with the phone number as 
443 (Giffgaff’s voicemail) - and now i can ask siri to call Giffgaff and she 
puts me tgrough to Giffgaff voicemail. This does not work woth the BT number as 
siri tells me she cannot dial that number (1571). This seems to be a siri 
problem - after all, my voicemail itself works fine.

Re: Bluetooth headsets with iPhone

2017-11-11 Thread doug oliver
Actually,
For the AirPods, you can get something called ear skins. They are on Amazon. If 
you search E space a space are space SKINZ you’ll find it. Sorry for the way 
that my phone spelled that. But I thought I would go ahead and spell it for 
y’all. In case you guys are interested. They work for the Apple earbuds by 
default, for the lightning earbuds, and the standard SE your buds. Just thought 
I would throw this out there. Best, regards,
Doug

Go to settings, music, and you should see something about iCloud in there. Turn
