RE: additional space on Box
Hi Juan. I already had an account when I discovered the app. When I opened the app, I went to settings and logged in from there if I remember correctly. At least after reading your message I went to settings and found places to log in, log out and a keep Me logged in switch. If you would like more details write me off list and maybe we can problem solve. My first thought now would be to open Box and go to settings now that you have an account. Good luck.

RE: additional space on Box
It is another cloud storage product which is a lot like Dropbox except that it doesn't create a virtual drive on your machine I had a couple of gb free storage and recently received an upgrade to 10 gb. Since I hadn't used it much because it wasn't very easy to use with a screen reader I am assuming anyone can now have 10 gb free storage. The good news for me is that they have made it very accessible and have an IPhone app which works well with Voiceover. Raul also posted a few days ago that there is a cloud player app which will play music which is stored on Box or Dropbox. I haven't gone and bought that one yet because I've been going a bit nutty with app buying lately and I have a lot of music available through my Amazon cloud player.

RE: MBraille - On the road experience
Sounds like it might be a good solution on a long road trip but I agree the $30 price tag would mean it would have to be a very long trip to justify it. Regards, Wayne -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joseph FreeTech Sent: Sunday, September 01, 2013 8:07 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: MBraille - On the road experience Hi all, Just wanted to convey a neat little MBraille experience. I had lunch with a group of new friends. As one of these friends was driving me home, we began driving on some rough road. I thought what a great chance to test typing accuracy! I pulled out my iPod Touch 5th gen and began typing a message. I first tried typing a 3 sentence paragraph using the touch typing keyboard method, and I ended up making lots of mistakes and found it was difficult to hear what I was typing (I was not wearing headphones). I didn't get past the first sentence before getting a bit frustrated. I turned on standard typing and found it was easier to type via split typing, but I still could not hear the letters well and had I turned up the volume I would have probably annoyed others so I did not do so. Finally, I launched MBraille and found that typing the 3 sentences was not only quickly accomplished, but I also found it very easy, and I had almost 0 spelling errors. I'm assuming the difference is that while touch typing and split typing, one must very steadily hold the device in one hand while trying to type with the other hand. This results in both hands simultaneously performing different tasks. On the other hand, using MBraille, for the most part, both hands are moving in synchrony and are placed almost 100% identically equally to one another which facilitates holding the device and entering data as the space one needs to interact with the device is much smaller (6 points rather than 26+ points associated with the letters on the keyboard). After using MBraille I switched back to regular touch typing and standard typing, and again I was having difficulty completing the typing task. In short, whether bumpy road or not, MBraille does seem to offer a very quick and hassle free typing experience. I gotta say, it is still hard for me to pull the trigger on the price because $30, to me and only me, seems a bit excessive for an app less than 1 meg in size. I hope this device goes on sale at some point as I'd definitely purchase it for $15 or $20. :) Two thumbs up for MBraille!

RE: privacy concerns - was - Get an extra 1 GB of Dropbox storage by syncing it to Mailbox | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
I don't totally agree with me either sometimessmile. I think you've got a sane approach to privacy and security. It isn't really such a new thing to give up privacy to allow someone to better provide one with a service such as gps navigation or book recommendations. Anyone who has ever applied for a job knows about giving up privacy for a potential gain. I don't think giving Dropbox information about me is a threat to my security but I am aware that there is some risk in doing so. Using judgment about whom to trust with what and why is our challenge these days. I don't blame Joseph for having concerns about the Dropbox / Mailbox issue although I considered it a minor privacy issue and not a security one. To me, someone getting my email address is a possible source of spam and annoyance but not a serious threat to my security. I hope I'm right because joining a list such as this one where all list members can get my email address means some risk of annoyance but a risk well taken because of the excellence of most of the posts.

Although I don't fully agree with everything you say, you do bring up valid points. What I do to stay safe is make sure I don't use the same passwords for multiple services. I also still use location services, but if an app doesn't really need them, then i don't allow it. For example, I give access to location services to my GPS navigation apps as they are useless without that access, but I don't give it to my Music ID app which is used to identify the song I'm listening to at a restaurant, mall, or girlfriend's house. it's good to stay same smart, but it can also quickly turn into paranoia if not careful.

RE: Detection of the light sources - new iPhone app
I looked at Seeing Assistant online and was a little unclear about it also. Is it a crowd sourced app such as Tap Tap See? If the light source app uses only IPhone resources is it a standalone.

additional space on Box
In case there are users needing more space than the free Dropbox space, you might want to look at Box. I just got a notice that my account had been upgraded to 10 gb of free space and I didn't have to do anything. When I set it up to collaborate with a friend, I didn't think it was very accessible. When I looked this time it had improved a lot and they had a link to a more accessible version which worked even better. I installed their IOS app on my IPhone and found it be very VO friendly as well.

RE: contact ringtones not playing - revisited
Thanks for that suggestion. That got me back to experimenting a bit. Didn't seem to matter although I thought at first it did. I put in the country code at the beginning of a contact I had deleted and recreated. However, I did that to one I didn't create and it didn't seem to make a difference. I did notice though that the hint on a contact ringtone says double tap to indicate a type. So, Before I went down and selected the ringtone, I went to the heading ringtone and double tapped that. Then when I selected a custom ringtone it played. It worked once but so far not the second time but at least it worked once. Interesting to me is the fact that all my contact / custom ringtones used to work just fine and I'm not sure just when that changed. Thanks for that pointer.

I wonder if it has to do how you have the phone number entered in your Contacts. I guess an easy way to find out is to check how Voiceover announces a caller you want to assign a ringtone to. For example. Assume you have somebody by the name of Jack Miller in your contacts and Jack's phone number is 202-555-1234. Now, get Jack to call you and see if Voiceover says Call from Jack Miller or if Voiceover says Call from 202-555-1234. I think if it says Call from 202-555-1234 this might be the problem.

Contact ringtone problem solved
I'm hoping I was the only one with this problem but posts I saw on the archive suggest maybe not. When opening a contact, double tapping edit, and going to ringtone it is necessary to double tap the button. That opens up the ringtone choices. I find that if I just flick my way down to the tone I want, double tap to select and then save I'll still get the default ringtone when that contact calls. To receive my chosen ringtone when I receive a call from that individual I have to also double tap the heading ringtones which is below the heading for default. I apologize if this is self-evident to everyone but me but I've only seriously paid attention to my IPhone for anything but phone calls and mail for the two weeks since I upgraded to an IPhone 5. Maybe there is someone else new to the process who needs to know it if things don't seem to work the way they should. A recurrent posting of the rules would be a good idea I think also. Doesn't usually stop people from doing things like posting OT messages or anything but at least one can try.

Hello Tessa, Donna, Jodie, Andy and others, This is one of the most annoying characteristics of Voiceover and I hope that all of you who dislike this as much as me write to accessibil...@apple.com to request that in some future update Voiceover is just silenced when a call is active. Andy's suggestion to turn off push notifications to me is something I should not have to do, I have an iPhone and use apps which have push notifications because that is what I want and having to turn off all push notifications just so my phone calls aren't interrupted is equivalent to saying you have to turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, Push email and location services just so I can get better battery life. I don't need a fancy smartphone if I have to disable half its features to stop it from doing one annoying thing. This discussion has come up before and I know some people have argued in favour of all of this chatter happening although I really don't know why somebody would want their phone to start reading a text message, an email or a news headline while one is on a phone call. When this happens to me I sometimes have to ask the other party to hold on for a moment until Voiceover shuts up or I can shut it up because I can't hear them any more. The iPhone is after all also a cell phone and while some people may use it more for other stuff than actual calling, for me it is my only personal line and I also use it for my business so I do receive and make a lot of calls and I really hope that maybe in iOS 7 Apple has done something about this. In my opinion Voiceover should just be quiet during a call, but I guess it would be OK if at least there was a setting where one could enable this and that way those who like to hear all of this stuff while they are on the phone can continue to do so. The same goes for Voiceover constantly announcing the call duration, also annoying and completely unnecessary, if I want to check how long I have been on the phone I can easily touch the screen and check and I don't have to hear it every 20 or 30 seconds. I understand that I can turn speech off with a 3-finger double tap and I sometimes do that, but it's a major pain in the winter when my iPhone is in my pocket or belt clip under a heavy coat and I am wearing gloves.

RE: External Battery choice
Hi Lisa. Will the built in micro connector work with an IPhone 5? I'm about to upgrade and wondered if I would have to carry the longer IPhone cable or could just use that one. Thanks.

I can charge my phone for several times on a single charge. I can also use my phone while it's charging on the Incredicharge. It has two USB connections as well as a built-in micro USB cable so I can also charge my Booksense Standard, my Aftershokz headphones or my Sansa Clip zip and still be using the phone while all three are charging on the same charger. I got it at Amazon for about $27 and free shipping. It's not the most accessible, at least not for me because the LEDs used to indicate charging status are very small. Still, I liked the idea of having something that would charge multiple devices at once or my phone for more than one time.

I have 1 such charger made by iGo. It's only a 1800 mAh battery with 2 USB ports. It's smaller then a deck of playing cards but can recharge a dead iPhone. There is a recessed charge button that when pressed starts the recharge cycle. You use your phone's sync/charge cable and when you view the battery status in the top right-hand corner it says the present status and charging. When charging is complete, the battery disconnects. You can actually be walking down the street talking on your phone wile it's recharging. I have used the charger to recharge both my wife's and my iPhones. Granted, it charges slower that way but left charging over night it will get the job done. It also has the flip out AC wall plug so you can use it as an AC source for 2 devices. I'm told but have not seen it that iGo also has the same thing but that they add the ability to charge the 1800 mAh battery via solar giving you a wide range of choices. So I'm thinking that with a 1800 mAh rechargeable battery solar charger and an AC plug, that should pretty much cover anybody's recharging needs. Even with out the solar part, the battery is small enough to Cary in a pocket or purse and still pull you out of a tight spot when you find your iPhone a wee bit short. This small of a battery is great for the iPhone. I doubt though it would be of any use with an iPad but sense I don't own one I can't speak to that. Radio Shack, big box stores and only God knows who else offers recharge solutions. You can also read about new gadgets in iPhone Life magazine. They also have a free app that is accessible. Our friend Todd Burnheart writes for them every now and then and always has a peace well worth reading. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

The only battery I have seen so far which has the wall plug that folds away is the MyCharge Peak 6000. I assume maybe you mean by your statement about using it as a power supply that you want something that charges your phone while it is also plugged in and charging. I have to try on my Peak 6000 whether it does that, I know for sure that this so-called through charging is not supported by the Limeade series of batteries which have been discussed here.

RE: Talking Goggles
Speaking of color identifier apps, can anyone recommend a good one? I've bought ISpectrum and ColorId. Originally ColorId was way too much information with so many obscure color names. They did improve it by allowing a more restricted color palette but I still find it hard to use. Thanks for any suggestions.

I have 2 that are the same size and from the same company. I played around with the lighting and where in the general area I thought the flavor would be printed. With some persistence, I finally found it. Hence, I was able to open up the correct bottle. As cara had recently pointed out in a previous email, lighting plays a tremendous role in how successful one will be with Talking Goggles or any other app that relies on lighting for excellent results, such as OCR and color ID apps.

I then launched TapTapSee and it identified the can of 7Up for 3 out of the 4 pictures I took. The picture it identified correctly, in TapTapSee's defense, it did say the can was green as is the case with 7Up cans. :) Joseph - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2013 10:21 PM Subject: RE: Talking Goggles Hi Tom, I just tried the Talking Goggles update on my 4S and for the first item, a bag of rice, the app came back almost instantly with Jasmin Rice. I tried a few more things like 2 different bottles of vinegar and the app performed some OCR and read the result and for me it's definitely working. All of this was done in video mode which I prefer for Talking Goggles. I did also perform one comparison test by taking a picture of the bottle of white wine vinegar in still camera mode with Talking Goggles and it read a bunch of stuff including wine vinegar. I then took the same picture with Tap Tap See and got Wine Vinegar without the other stuff. A bit earlier I used Tap Tap See on that same bottle and got the full White Vine Vinegar, I guess it too recognizes slightly different things based on exactly what it sees. As to why Talking Goggles doesn't work for you I can't say, but it would be good to know if you have Tap Tap See to do a similar test. Hold your phone in as close as possible the same place and take a picture of something with both apps and see if you get a result from Tap Tap See and not from Goggles. If you don't get a result from either one then you know that something else is at fault and you might want sighted help. I had a problem in March where suddenly Digit-Eyes recognized absolutely nothing. I finally asked one of my employees to take a look and try it and he told me that the picture was all blurry and the camera didn't focus. I called Apple and after making sure the lens was clean which it was, doing a restart of the phone and eventually a factory reset of iOS they said that apparently the camera was not working as it should. I had the phone for about a year and a half at that point, but I bought Apple Care back when I bought the 4S as an unlocked phone directly from Apple and 3 days later I had a new phone. Well, I guess probably a refurbished phone, but a like-new phone anyways. Apple provided the return label in the box and all I did is take the new phone out of the box, put my old one in it (after doing a factory restore again to wipe it clean) and call UPS to pick it up. I was definitely glad I had purchased Apple care since otherwise I would have been 6 months past my warranty period.

response from Apple accessibility on VO or refund
I took the suggestion and wrote Apple accessibility regarding the refund issue. Their response seems reasonable to me although I would prefer to know in advance myself. It took several days to receive this answer so it may not be a cookie cutter. I'm encouraged. Hello, Thank you for your email and feedback. We have looked into this issue and while a credit was issued to Sieghard, the response used did cause confusion. We will work with the iTunes Store Support to ensure that the correct information is sent back when a refund is issued. Curently any user can use the Report a Problem link from their iTunes Account purchase history, or contact iTunes Store Support via the web to request a refund for an app they may have purchased that does not work as expected with VoiceOver.

VO accessibility notice or refund issue
I wrote the accessibility group at Apple regarding the refund issue and I got a reasonable response yesterday. I would cut and paste the response but my previous message in which I did that doesn't seem to have reached the group. Basically they said that they investigated the issue and that although Sieghard got his refund, the message was confusing. They said they would work with their customer people to see that they understand that refunds are appropriate if an app isn't useable because it doesn't work with VO.
