Re: Kindle on ipad issue

2024-03-03 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello Richard
I live in South Africa, so it is very expensive to phone Amazon from this
side. The interesting thing is that I tried the book on my Samsung phone
and on a Chromebook and both have the same problem, so 3 different screen
readers react the same. I also read a page with Seeing AI on my cell phone
by pointing it to the iPad screen and Seeing AI had no problem to read
correctly. The other interesting point is that when I read character by
character I find that the letters c and e cause the problem.
 Regards
Fanus

Hello Richard
I usually use the Tessa South African English voice but I tried UK Daniel
and US Samantha but the result is the same. I also changed to the font you
suggested and I switched "detect language" on. The interesting fact is that
my wife reads the text on the screen and she says everything looks fine.
This is about the forth Kindle book where I encounter this. I have many
other books which read correctly. I wonder if Kindle has an accessibility
email address where I can report the issue?

Kindle on ipad issue

2024-03-02 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello list
I purchased a kindle book and I made sure that the product details state
that text to speech and screen readers are enabled but the book does not
play correctly on my iPad. The moment I swipe down with two fingers for
continuous reading it sounds if there are no spaces between words and if
there are strange sounds, like a different language. I changed the font and
size of text but the problem continues. Has anyone encountered this or
should I just return the book. The problem is that it is not the first time
that I encounter this problem and it is just strange that the kindle app
can not read books meant for kindle.

Apple Watch 8

2022-12-27 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello list
I consider to purchase this beast. With the first gen watch I
struggled to do the setup because I could not find the way to hold the
watch over the specific place on my phone. The manual setup was quite
complicated. Has Apple made this process more streamline for blind
users?

problem when making a call with iPhone 11

2022-12-05 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello list
When I make a call to a service where digits for options should appear
on the screen, for example when I call the telephone banking service
there are choices for 1 payments, 2 statements etc., the digits do not
appear on the screen. When I move my finger around I hear the usual
VoiceOver clicks and even if I take the phone away from my ear it
makes no difference. Is there a setting for this or is it an iPhone 11
bug?

Pretty sure she mean that he has data for his phone but not an internet 
connection at home for the computer to use, thus the need for the hotspot.

To answer the question, yes you can use the phone hotspot. You can set it up as 
a wifi connection or as bluetooth. For me as long as the hotspot is enabled, my 
computer always prompts me if I want to connect with it if no other network is 
available.

Can you clarify if I’m misunderstanding something?

Thanks for the steps but your step 3 is a bit strange. You say 3.-within the

Hi.

I tried the method mentioned, but there was a major problem. When I tried to 
enter the code on my old iPhone, there was no keypad on the screen to use, and 
I think my Bluetooth keyboard was already unpaired from it.

Just my experience. For me, all was well thanks to an iCloud backup. Even my 
old Apple Watch worked with my new phone.

For me, having set up phone to phone 3 of these, you can do it independently:
1.-Power on the new phone and turn Voiceover on it of course.
2.-after selecting the country and language, they’ll be a Popup in which you 
can select Manusl etup,thus have your old phone ready for this; have them both 
plugged into power just in case.
3.-within the Manual setup, you’ll have to enter a 6-digit pin the new phone

Recently got a new iPhone SE2022.  Everything went fine with the wireless
set up.  everything, including my settings transferred correctly.  So I'm
really happy with it.
 
There is one strange thing happening that I can't figure out.  I have
haptics turned off, and the home button sensitivity set to 3.  Occasionally,
when I move my finger around the screen, or press on the Home button, I hear
a  light swish sound, similar to the one you hear when sending an email or
text.  It's so inconsistant, and infrequent, that I can't figure out what
I'm doing that is causing it.
 
Has anyone else experienced this?

the circle or whatever on the old phone’s screen. Did you manage this without 
sighted help and if so, what exactly did you do?

Subject: My new iPhone

Recently got a new iPhone SE2022.  Everything went fine with the wireless
set up.  everything, including my settings transferred correctly.  So I'm
really happy with it.

There is one strange thing happening that I can't figure out.  I have
haptics turned off, and the home button sensitivity set to 3.  Occasionally,
when I move my finger around the screen, or press on the Home button, I hear
a  light swish sound, similar to the one you hear when sending an email or
text.  It's so inconsistant, and infrequent, that I can't figure out what
I'm doing that is causing it.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Alternative for turning screen curtain off

2022-04-12 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello list
A friend does not succeed to turn screen curtain off by doing a three finger
tripple tap on her iPhone 7. I looked at voiceOver settings but I can not
find something there. Turning the phone off and on again does not help. Is
there an alternative?

RE: Double tap issue

2021-11-25 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello Richard
Thanks, it is very valid. I think you are correct because I do better placing 
the phone on a hard surface. I also think that maybe I am lifting my finger too 
high and as you say, it is at an angle when I bring it down. 
Thanks for the suggestions.

Subject: RE: Double tap issue

If you hear Edit Mode, it is because you accidently swiped upward at an angle 
instead of doing a straight on double tap.  I have had that happen, and I have 
very good motor skills.  I think iOS 15 is more responsive and the slightest 
touch is recognized.  
I also think that when you end up on another app, it is because focus somehow 
moved to that app; maybe a very slight brush of the screen with another finger 
that you were not conscious of having gotten so close to the screen.

I recommend trying to either flick to the app and then weight a couple of 
seconds to make sure the app you want is the last thing VoiceOver said, then do 
a double tap with one finger and make sure you are hitting straight down on the 
screen.  Havin the phone laying flat on a table helps to insure you are not 
going to hit it at an angle.

Or, use the other method of placing your finger on the app you want, do not 
move that finger, leave it resting lightly on that app and while that finger is 
touching the app; just touch the screen with another finger.  That is the 
alternative method to a double tap.

HTH,



Richard

Subject: Double tap issue

Hello list
I thought the below problem has to do with my lack of proper motoric functions 
but now a friend who does not have a neurological problem encounters the same 
issue. For clarity I shall explain: many times when I swipe to an app, for 
example messages, then when I double tap to activate it I hear "edit" or even 
the name of another app. So it seems that somehow my finger moves between the 
two taps. As I said, my friend complains about the same issue. I have an iPhone 
11 and she has an iPhone 7. Has anyone experienced this and can anyone come up 
with a solution?
Regards
Fanus

home screen on iPhone 11

2021-10-09 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello list
How does a sighted person navigate to the home screen when VoiceOver is
switched off. I want my sighted wife to help me with an inaccessible app but
she can not figure out how to get back to the main screen from within an
app. Also, with VoiceOver on I swipe up slowly from the bottom to get to the
home screen after waking the iPhone but what must a sighted person do?

IF you have an Apple Music subscription, if you go to search, there is a button 
for Spatial audio and all things in there have it.

Some are Fearless, Taylor’s version by Taylor Swift

A bunch of Billie Eilish songs.

Whatsapp notifications

2021-08-05 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello list
I hope I am just stupid and there is a way out. When I get a sms message I
can just wake my iPhone and then hear the contents without having to unlock
the phone. When I receive a Whatsapp message I just hear the word
"notification", then I have to unlock my phone, navigate to the page where
the whatsapp is, swipe to it, open it and swipe to the message. Is there a
way to let whatsapp behave similar to sms messages. I can understand it
would be different for whatsapp audio messages but for text messages it is
highly irritating to go through all the steps mentioned above.
Regards
Fanus

RE: adapter for USB keyboard and iPhone

2021-06-29 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello Richard

Thanks much but with my sensory problem I tried many BT keyboards and as long 
as the keys are on the same level they are out for me, so I shall enjoy using 
my pc keyboard with dongle.

Regards

Fanus

I have the Logitech K860 which has the dongle and the dongle does work with the 
adapter; but that keyboard also has two other bluetooth channels so I can just 
use it as a bluetooth keyboard with the iPhone. 

The number pad is not used with the iPhone, so it makes for a rather bulky 
keyboard.

There are lots and lots of good bluetooth keyboards that are not so large 
because they do not have the number pad.

No, your wireless keyboard needs no wires.

This is a wired adapter.

 

I’m not sure why a wireless keyboard would need anything other than the iPhone.

I have the lightning to USB camera adapter from Apple.  I am writing this on a 
generic USB QWERTY keyboard with no power connected. 

So,I know it can work.

I'll try and find the link to the exact adapter but I'm pretty sure it is just 
called Lightning to USB 3 Camera adapter.

It has a standard female USB A host port, a lightning port for power if you 
need it and a short cable that plugs into the lightning port on the iPhone.

Hello
I just heard about an adapter that allows you to use your USB keyboard to
write on the iPhone. The little nub for a wireless keyboard would plug into
the adapter and the other end would plug in where the charger plugs in.
Would this work on an SE2020? I'd prefer using my regular keyboard to using
the bluetooth keyboard.

Hello Richard

Is the keyboarc that you use the standard large USB keyboard just like that for 
a pc. This is very important for me because I have a sensory problem and I can 
not feel keys on keyboards which have the  keys on the same level. As you know 
the keys of the standard pc keyboard have, what I call "steps" between the rows 
so that helps me to orient my hands. It would be a dream come true if I can use 
my USB pc keyboard with your adapter.

Apple SA is not a retail store. They just import the products and then

have to import the product and the shipping charges are so much that in the end 
I would pay nearly double the price. The section of our population who can

That is one of my concerns with Apple products. I do not live in the US so I 
can not buy directly from Apple, so I always wonder for how long has an item 
been lying on the shelve in the apple store and how does this affect the 
battery. I purchased an iPod Touch 3 years ago and the battery is almost dead 
and I can not have it replaced. I got the airpods almost two years ago and one

Hello Sieghard

Thanks a lot for this. People usually do not believe me about the bad situation 
we experience here. Although we pay more for apple phones the cell phone 
companies do import batteries for the phones but as stated before I can not 
replace my iPod Touch battery and also not my apple watch battery.

Apple may have websites for a lot of countries, but while there is an Apple.za 
site which is for South Africa, you can't buy anything there. I fyou select the 
"Buy" option you are redirected to a dealer locator and if you Google "Buying 
Apple products in South Africa", you find a website where the following is 
sstated:

 

Please be advised that ZA Store is operated independently by ZA Online Store 
Pty (Ltd) as authorised by Apple South Africa.

Note: Any purchases of Apple products over the Internet from the ZA Store will 
be subject to terms and conditions as set by the operating body, ZA Online 
Store Pty (Ltd).

Apple Inc. will not be held liable for any possible, consequential or 
inadvertent misrepresentation.

For additional queries regarding online sales, please call: 087 940 3100

 

On that website an iPhone Mini 64 Gb, for example, costs 13,999 South African 
Rand which converts to approx $980 US Dollars. This phone costs $699 in the US.

In Canada Apple is currently also gouging a bit, $699 US currently converts to 
approx $875 or $880 Canadian, but an iPhone 12 Mini 64 Gb here in Canada is 
$979 Canadian which if converted back to US is approx. $780 US which is a good 
10% higher than the US price.

But it is still not nearly as bad as in South Africa where it costs approx. 
$980 US or 40% more than what one would pay in the US.

Hello Simon

Apple SA is not a retail store. They just import the products and then 
distribute to apple Stores which are franchises. So to buy direct from apple I 
have to import the product and the shipping charges are so much that in the end 
I would pay nearly double the price. The section of our population who can 
afford these expensive stuff is so small that items might ly on the shelves for 
month and thus damage the battery. I am sure that's what happened to my iPod 
and Airpods so that I got less than two years use.

As for battery life, it is advertised to be 12 hours. I have never run them 
completely down, but there have been a few times that I have run them for maybe 
6 or 7 hours, and they were around 50 percent. Of course, it drops more quickly 
after 50 percent than before. As for an on off switch, it does have one, it is 
on the other side from the what will call the mode button, volume control and 
microphone. These headphones are unique, in that when one attaches the buds 
together with the magnet, it puts them into, as it were, a sleep mode. I have 
never just left them in this sleep mode to see how much it would drain the 
battery, as compared to turning them off, but I will bet it wouldn't drain it a 
lot over time. I do just turn them off when I am not going to use them for a 
while. 

 

Finally, and this is important to know, the charging cable that comes with them 
is a u s b c to u s b c cable. So, unless you have one of these chargers, you 
need either to buy a u s b c charger, or a usb to u s b c cable to charge them.

I have had the Beats Flex headphones almost since when they came out last year, 
and they do have the modern chip to take advantage of the spacial audio. For 
what I paid for them, I am happy with these headphones. I would say that they 
do not sound quite as good as the second generation airpods, but then I could 
buy three pair of these headphones for what a pair of the airpods sell for, so 
I hope the airpods sound better. If something were to happen to the Beats Flex

Keep in mind that Dolby 

Atmos or spacial audio as they also call it does not require Apple headphones 
with the H1 chip at all. I don't know if there is a drawback when you say that 
Dolby 
Atmos should be always on insrtead of automatic, but if you turn it to Alwahys 
on you hear the music which is available in the Dolby 
Atmos format using any old (or new) headset. Keep in mind that while some of 
the high-end Bluetooth headsets sound very good, a wired headset will still 
sound better. I would not be surprised if in a tru test the finding would be 
that you can get a wired headset which sounds as good as those $300 to $600 
Bluetooth headsets so many people now buy for a lot less. But to each their own.

Not just any song ever created will suddenly andmagically play in Dolby Atmos 
format, songs have to be recorded this way just as movies have to be produced 
using Dolby Atmos. Since Apple used a 1971 song from Marvin Gaye as an example 
it would appear that songs can be remastered with Dolby Atmos technology, but 
that of course will take time and I would not expect that every song in Apple's 
75 Million song library will be remastered.

 

And here a more detailed explanation from an article I found online:

 

Apple is bringing Spatial Audio with support for Dolby Atmos to Apple Music. 
Dolby Atmos is a revolutionary, immersive audio experience that enables artists 
to mix music so the sound comes from all around and from above. By default, 
Apple Music will automatically play Dolby Atmos tracks on all AirPods and Beats 
headphones with an H1 or W1 chip, as well as the built-in speakers in the 
latest versions of iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Apple Music will be adding new Dolby 
Atmos tracks constantly and will be curating a special set of Dolby Atmos 
playlists to help listeners find the music they love. In addition, albums that 
are available in Dolby Atmos will have a badge on the detail page for easy 
discovery.

At launch, subscribers can enjoy thousands of songs in Spatial Audio from some 
of the world’s biggest artists and music across all genres, including hip-hop, 
country, Latin, pop, and classical. Apple Music is working with artists and 
labels to add new releases and the best catalog tracks, as more artists begin 
to create music specifically for the Spatial Audio experience. Together, Apple 
Music and Dolby are making it easy for musicians, producers, and mix engineers 
to create songs in Dolby Atmos. Initiatives include doubling the number of 
Dolby-enabled studios in major markets, offering educational programs, and 
providing resources to independent artists.

Hello Arnold

I forgot to ask how do you find the battery life i.e. how many hours can one 
listen before its necessary to charge? Also, it sounded from David's podcast 
that there is no on/off switch but that one must stick the two ear pieces 
together via the magnets to put it to sleep, or did I mis understand? And 
lastly, does the sound quality compare well to the first generation airpods? 
Sorry for all these questions?

Hello Arnold

Thanks for your info. I got confused, so now, after having listened to the 
podcast by David Woodbridge, I realize that the Beats Flex is a Bluetooth 
headphone and the "wired" to which David refers is the wire between the two ear 
pieces. As you say, the beats flex is fairly cheap so if the batteries also 
will last for two years it is a good choice.

Hello,

 

I am not entirely sure if this is rolling out to certain countries only and if 
everybody is getting this at the same time, but I received a notification from 
the Music app this morning that Apple's spacial audio was now available.

I was informed that with certain headsets from Apple the feature would be 
automatically turned on, but you can also go into Settings > Music and under 
the Audio heading look for the Dolby Atmos entry and change it from Automatic 
to Always On.

Once I did this I plugged in my somewhat high-end V-Mota wired headset and 
listened to some of the demos Apple has available in the Music app under the 
Browse tab. One of them was demonstrating the difference between Mono, Stereo 
and Dolby Atmos

Hello list
Its not a new disaster. Ever since I subscribed to Apple music operas are not 
downloaded correctly. Most of the time apple regards an opera as a compilation 
so some tracks are stored under artists, others under composer and some even 
under the name of the Conductor. I notified apple about this several times but 
as usual, no response. That's why I prefer Spotify.

Well, the audience is certainly bigger than voiceover users. Not that they 
shouldn’t do stuff for voiceover users, but they’re a huge company. And there’s 
just no reason for them not to have a better search mechanism. If a little 
dinky companies like tidal and prime phonic can do it, Apple really has zero

That's exactly what I meant. Our data speed is so slow that this download took

I have never had this problem. I do know that during the download process, it 
does take a while before the percentage shows up, for me about 10-15%. Same

You have to listen through the version number to where it will tell you the 
time, etc. 

For me, it is always the first item on that software update screen.

Once it finishes the download and starts preparing the update, I've never found 
a time, or even thought about the time as it varies depending on your phone 
processor.

I just wait until it finishes or pops up a dialog where I have to hit Install; 
but if you do nothing, it just installs.

Well, that is interesting. It sounds like Malcolm thinks it works well but you

Hi Richard,

 

I will try and answer your second question as I have just been having a play 
with it.  I am using Narrator not sure about JAWS as I don’t have it.

 

Launch Waltr Pro.

 

Select  iPhone Device.

 

You will be in  a browser window where you can navigate to and select material 
to transfer.

 

Make your selection, tab to and press Open.

 

Focus should now be on a button that says Convert and Transfer.

 

Instead of pressing Enter here, Tab around and you should find two further 
buttons.

 

One of which should be Transfer to another app.  If you select this, you should 
have another list of target apps you can transfer to.

 

The interface is a little hit and miss all the more reason for us to highlight 
these issues before product release.

Hi Harry,

I reported it to them.

I also found a couple other, what I consider, major issues.

 

The “Where are my files?” button doesn’t work with a screen reader at all.

 

And, exactly how would you copy an MP3 file to an alternative app like Voice 
Dream Reader instead of it automatically adding it to your music library?

Hi Richard,

 

I have just taken a look at the Files Tab in Waltr Pro’s Preferences as you 
describe and my findings agree with yours.

 

Whichever of the two options I choose I have a standard tree structure from 
which I can navigate to a folder of my choice and a Select Folder button.

 

However, once I’ve made my choice and hit the Select Folder button it appears 
that my selection is not saved.

 

May be worth contacting them about this.

 

Both our experiences are the same.

 

Given the software is not released yet this may be a bug worth bringing to 
their attention.

Malcolm,

For my sake and others, could you say more about what Jaws is telling you about 
the “Standard Browser?“

 

I get two buttons, local folder and iTunes Library.

Both of which default to some very useless place.

IN the settings on the file tab, I cannot get it to stick to the folder of my 
choice.

 

I have tried with Jaws, NVDA, and Narrator.

 

This software is way smarter than me, or I’m way more stupid than I thought.

 

Don’t get me wrong, it is great for transferring files wirelessly, but working 
within its default structure is a bit tedious.

 

Thanks,

Basically Waltr2 allows you to transfer any content to your Apple device.  This 
includes:  Music, videos, books and tones.

 

The new soon to be released Waltr Pro does all this and allows you among other 
things to transfer content to apps other than the standard ones.  So for 
example you could transfer a book to VoiceDream Reader for example rather than 
to Apple Books.

 

When you launch Waltr2 you choose your device then you have a standard browser 
window to select the media you want transferred.

 

Transfer can be via wifi or cable.

 

The new Waltr Pro is compatible with JAWS and NVDA I have also successfully 
used it with Narrator and Dolphin’s Screen Reader.

 

My understanding is that if you bought Waltr2 now you could upgrade to Waltr 
Pro at a 50% discount when it is released.

 

Hope that answers some of your questions.

You have to understand the way these devices work.
The Alexa app on your phone is primarily an interface to adjust settings on 
your Echo speaker, add skills and so on. Yes, it is to some extend also 
allowing you to use your iPhone like an Alexa speaker, e.g. ask questions or 
give commands just as you would to your Echo speaker.
As far as playing books on your Echo speaker which in fact are playing on your 
phone like BARD, in this case you basically use yur Echo speaker just like you 
would any Bluetooth speaker, e.g. you pair it to your phone and the whatever 
you play on your phone plays via your Echo. But because the Echo is a 
smartspeaker you can obviously take it one step further, i.e. once a book is 
playing you can ask your speaker to pause or resume or skip forward or back, on 
a regular Bluetooth speaker you would do these things by pressing the 
appropriate button. But I don't think you can pair your Echo to your phone and 
then tell it to play a BARD book unless you first start the book in your BARD 
app.
Audible is a different matter because Amazon owns Audible hence it's very 
seamlessly integrated into Echo speakers and as long as you are signed into 
your speaker with the same Amazon account you use for Audible the Alexa 
assistant has access to your Audible library.

it was indeed linked to my phone via the Alexa app. I don’t have Bluetooth on.

RE: Two questions relating to sonos Products

2021-02-06 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello Sieghard

On that point: I received an email from Sonos asking me to take part in a 
survey. I answered the questions and then there was an edit field for a further 
comment where I pointed out that I am a bit disappointed with the support 
system of Sonos. Unfortunately nothing happened when I tried to activate the 
submit button, so I suppose I have more ground for my view that there support 
is not up to standard for a company selling such excellent products.

Hi Richard sorry for the stray reply I didn't mean to send it privately. My 
apologies.

did you initiate support through a web form or an email address?
Interestingly you can actually duplicate favorites in My Sonos between stations 
that appear in Sonos Radio and Tune In I did that to compare to see if there 
was any difference and there is not.  I've already written to TuneIn themselves 
but will contact Sonos as well. As I said i"m curious how you initiated your 
contact. I'm assuming everything starts with web forms these days.

I cannot help with the second question as I am quite new to Sonos. 

I noticed that the TuneIn issue is that Sonos is tied to the regular TuneIn not 
even the TuneIn pro app.

I have TuneIn Pro from the days when they would let you record shows even 
without paying for premium. So, my long list of favorite stations are in TuneIn 
Pro. When I got the Sonos speakers, none of those favorites were there.

I downloaded the regular TuneIn, added a few favorites, and wala, they showed 
up on Sonos. 

And yes, it seems that Sonos Radio either overlaps with TuneIn, or actually 
moves them from TuneIn into the Sonos favorites.

I do not have TuneIn Premium, but if I were you I would use airplay to send 
TuneIn to the speakers to avoid the ads.

Or, if you didn't, ask Sonos what is going on. I found after writing the 
executive, who forwarded my question to someone in support, they were quite 
fast in replying to my questions when I just replied to the support email.

Hi,

I hope this finds all happy and well.

My first question has to do with listening to radio stations via Sonos. I’m 
curious why it is that when searching for a station many often have entries 
appearing under “SonosRadio” as well as “TuneIn.” There doesn’t seem to be any 
advantage of picking one over the other though for a while it seemed that 
picking the Sonos Radio entry got you fewer ads before a Tune In stream started 
though this is now not the case. On a related note I do subscribe to Tune In 
Premium which seems to suppress  ads when listening via their app on my iDevice 
but there doesn’t seem to be a way to sign into one’s Tune In premium account 
via Sonos.

Strangely when summoning Tune In stations via an Apple HomePod Mini I haven’t 
had any ads before a stream starts yet and I haven’t a clue why.

Secondly I know that some on this list participate in sonos beta testing and 
some have been long time users and are much more knowledgeable than I myself am

RE: phone not announcing low batter

2021-01-17 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello
I am just curious? Does your phone not announce low battery when you bring it 
out of standby mode or when it is still in standby mode. That is one of my 
great disappointments of apple phones. I have an android Samsung and even when 
it is lying in the drawer of my desk it wakes up to tell me when the battery is 
reaching 20%. On apple phones I have to bring it to life before it announces 
that the battery is low. Many times I forget to check the battery status 
regularly and when I want to use my phone the battery is flat. It puzzles me 
that after all these years apple can not add such a feature, unless it is my 
ignorance of such a setting or app?

RE: app to find ip addresses on wifi network

2020-11-29 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello Malcolm

Thanks, I do have Fing but it shows my host ip and my iPhone but all the others 
are called "generic", so I do not know wich is the Repeater or Echo dot or 
Sonos speakers. Also, it says 9 devices while currently I have only 5 
connected, so I suppose it picked up devices which was connected previously. 

Regards

Fanus

Is there such an accessible app? I added a TPLink extender and the setup

RE: apple's equivalent of the echo

2020-07-27 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello Simon

Thanks. I was looking for a Kindle book on Amazon site and came across a link 
for my connections. Then there was an option to connect Sonos and it worked, so 
I am not sure why it did not work via the app on my iPhone. I still have a 
strange issue. My Sonos One and two Sonos Play3 speakers are setup in the same 
group so that when streaming from my iPhone all will play. But the moment I ask 
Alexa to play music only the Play One plays. When I then look at the Room 
Settings on my PC or in the iPhone Sonos app the Play3 speakers are unselected. 
I can not understand why this happens when I play via Alexa.

Then I think you may not have heard a Sonos system yet and while there a few 
limitations, you can set up a Sonos One or some of th eother newer speakers 
either as an Alexa or Google Home speaker. One limitation is that you can't use 
features like  Drop-In which you can do between actual Echo speakers.

RE: battery alert

2020-07-04 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello Richard and list

I can not understand why Apple can not implement a low battery alert when the 
phone is locked. Now that I am retired it happens often that my battery is ok 
but because I do not use the phone so frequently it happens many time that the 
battery goes down because I did not use it for a few hours. Samsung phones do 
give alerts so why is this so difficult for apple to implement?

Richard is correct, I have been using iOS devices sincde 2009 and Voiceover has 
always alerted at 20% and 10% although you don't get the alert if the phone is 
locked. For example, if you get the 20% alert, then play an audio book or music 
and lock the phone, you will not get the 10% alert, eventually the phone will 
just turn off when it gets to 0%.

Apparently in iOS 14 I read that with more functionality in the Shortcuts app 
you could set, for example, an alert at 30% and even set it up so that you 
don't just get the option to enable low power mode, but you can set it up so it 
automatically turns on low power mode.

There is no alert at 5% unlocked or not and nothing you can do in Settings will 
change or prevent the 20% and 10% alerts.

I have never seen it as a setting. 

The iPhone just sets off an alert at 20.% and again at 10% ever since my first 
Apple device.

Hi,

 

I have a battery alert set on my IPhone which alerts me when the battery is at 
10% power. I can't find where I set that alert. 

 

I'm using the latest IOs. Does anyone know where I can find that alert setting?

 

Thanks.

 

Vicki

Hello Richard
That is very interesting. I was in touch with someone from Apple South Africa. 
He told me that apple devices like the iPod touch, apple watch and even iPads 
are cealed devices so the batteries can not be replaced. I can hardly believe 
this.

I know here, Apple did not have any batteries when I checked last year for the 
iPod Touch 6th generation.
But, a third party company in town had them but I decided not to spend the 
money and just converted my old SE to a WiFi device after getting my new SE 
2020.

I don't know if you have businesses that replace batteries like we do in the US.

I hope you find something.

Hello list
I live in South Africa and this afternoon I discovered that, to my greatest 
surprise and disappointment, there are not batteries available here in SA for 
any Apple products, except for iPhones. I need a battery for my iPod 6th Gen 
and you might not understand but due to our terrible exchange rate it is not 
just a matter of buying a new one. Therefor I ask for someone in the US, 
someone in the UK and perhaps Australia and Canada to find out from their local 
apple store if an iPod Touch 6th Gen battery is available there. I want to 
establish if this is a world wide Apple policy or if it is just a problem here 
in SA. Just Imagine, I purchased a new iPad Mini 5 last December. Say for 
whatsoever reason the battery dies a few days after my warranty will elapse at 
the end of the year then I have to fro this brand new product into the bin!

Hello Richard

Thanks for the info. I understand there’s no braille display but are the

combination to progress to a next line etc.

If the braille writer type keys are not good for you, the Orbit Writer or 
Reader 20 might not be good for you.

The Orbit 40 will have more ergonomic keys.

I think when they use the term scissor keys they are talking about the 
mechanism under the key.

The Writer is laid out exactly like the reader, minus the braille display.

And since it doesn't need all the mechanics for the braille display, it is very 
thin; much like an iPhone 8 in size.

There isn't a manual yet, just the brochure.

Not sure on donating. Just use Alexa.amazon.com in any web browser and you will 
get some of the functionality from the Amazon Alexa App. For a while, they were 
sold in Canada with no official support of skills and local weather. They came 
to be properly supported in Canada as of the Echo Third Generation and later, 
released in 2018, so you probably have a long time to wait. The South African 
dialect is a complex one, as it has so many influences, africans to be curtain. 
Then all other south african official languages. See if the google home app is

RE: Annoying apple music issue

2020-05-06 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello Mark
Just for interest sake. I tried to purchase an album from Amazon which I could 
not find in Apple Music but the only way to pay which they offer, is via USD, 
so they do not accept my SA credit card info. I can buy Kindle books and 
Audible books with my SA credit card and in January I purchased a radio without 
any problems. I suppose it is a music copyright thing.

Hello Fanus,

A subscription is not required to purchase either individual songs or entire 
albums from Amazon.com

I find that the prices of individual titles are identical to iTunes.  Album 
prices are usually comparable, also.  

To be clear, I download my music via Internet Explorer version 11, on a Windows 
7 32-bit PC.

I think Amazon offers some kind of desktop music download app but I found it 
extremely difficult to use with Jaws; however, this was some years ago and the 
desktop app may have improved since then.  

When it is all said and done, while I purchase all of my music from Amazon.com, 
I manage that content in iTunes for Windows.

Mark

Hello Richard, Fanus, and Everyone,

Richard, I love your phrase, “tagging hell.”  That is exactly how I view the 
purchasing of iTunes music.

Earlier today, I decided to buy a new album.  For less than a nanno-second I 
considered purchasing it from iTunes, then I remembered all of the problems I 
have encountered, en the past, after having done so; some that you described 
very eloquently, Richard, and some even more daunting issues, that continue to 
occur, with those long ago purchased tracks.

I only purchase music from Amazon, via my web browser, on my Windows PC.  

The process is simple, straight-forward, and fast.  

For example, when purchasing an album on my PC, the broad strokes are:

1.
Go to Amazon.com and find the album.  Select the album to display the various 
formats, MP3, CD, Vinyl, etc.   Along with each format, you will see the 
purchase price.

2.
Select your format.  

3.
Purchase the Album.

4.
Select Download purchase.  The album will be downloaded to your PC in a Zip 
file.

5.
Unzip the file and you will see all of the album titles.

Now here is what I do to get my newly purchased album into iTunes; again the 
broad strokes, only.

6.
Open iTunes for Windows.

7.
Add all of the album titles to my iTunes Library, simultaneously.

8.
Select all of the newly purchased album titles and select New Playlist.

9.
Give the Playlist the same name of the Album.

10.
Sync the new playlist to my iOS device.

Again, just the broad strokes but, all things being equal, given that I’ve been 
using this method for about 7 years or so, it takes me less than 15 minutes to 
go from purchase to syncing songs to my iOS device.

Mark

Welcome to the tagging hell that is classical music, as well as others, but 
classical is the worst. 
Since the internal tags of classical music often has different artists on some 
tracks, or different conductors, orchestras, etc., it gets crazy making.
But, look for a folder called Compilations.
Most of the time, these albums are marked as compilations so they will show up 
by either the album name, or conductor.
The tracks will also be scattered into different subfolders, but at least in 
the compilations folder they should be all together.

Hi Fanis,
The File manager button is usually at the top left, at least on an iPhone.  I 
don't have an iPad.
The BT VoiceOver command to get to the top left is control+up arrow.
Then you could do control+options+right arrow to move to the right one item at 
a time in case it didn't land you on the file manager button.

I'm hoping that works the same on an iPad.  If it doesn't, you could write the 
developer directly at supp...@voicedream.com

I hope that works,

Yes.  Voice Dream Writer, $9.99.
It is way more advanced than AccessNote was.  It has a spell checker, search

I highly recommend the person read the manual.

which text reader/writer

2020-04-11 Thread Fanus Buys
Hello list
A friend asked me about this. According to him  access note does not work on
newer iDevices or newer IOS versions. Apparently there was a search function
in access note which created a list of all the search results so one could
decide which one to read. Is there a replacement for access note with such a
similar feature?
Regards
Fanus

Hi, I purchased Waltr2 on Jonathan Mosen’s recommendation on a recent
podcast. I couldn’t get the trial version to work, so I decided to
take a risk and upgrade to the full version. The software still does
not work with JAWS. I’m on the latest build of Windows 10, and for
whatever reason when I tab around the screen, the only thing I can
activate is the main sub menu with items like About, Check for
Updates, Support, etc. What are other people doing to make this thing
work? On the podcast, Jonathan was tabbing about just fine through the
various controls. I’m highly interested in replacing iTunes as a file
transfer source, so any suggestions on how to crack this accessibility
issue would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!--Joe

Home app and iCloud Key Chain

Hello list
I am curious about the home app but after opening it it wants me to switch
Key Chain on. It shows "key chain off" and when I double tap I type my apple
password and then it asks for my passcode. After typing it it says 4
characters entered and after a while it jumps back and says "key chain off".
What am I missing? I have an iPhone 11 and the latest IOS version.

That is an OK speed, if you continue to experience issues with downloading apps 
of any sort your provider must be blocking something and as I said before, you 
should ask them why this doesn't work when you are on your WiFi and why it 
worked instantly when you were connected to the WiFi at the store where you 
bought the iPad.

Hello Sieghard
Thanks, I downloaded SpeedTest on my iPhone. It is interesting that the app 
gives the result in mega bits. I am used to kilo bytes and mega bytes. My 
result shows download speed = 12.3 mega bits which, if I am not mistaken, is 
1.53 mega bytes per second. In foreign countries this might be slow but here in 
SA a speed of 900 kbps or more is quite fast over a cell network. I use 
Internet Download Manager to download large files and it seldom shows more than 
900 KBPS, so this result of 1.53 MBPS is quite fast here. Or am I wrong with my 
calculation?

Hi Fanus,

You should take this up with your provider. Also I would recommend you do a 
Speedtest, either go to www.speedtest.net on your PC or, on your iPad Mini or 
iPhone download the Speedtest by Ookla app.
My Mom's WiFi is also from a smarthub via the cellular network and she has no

Hello list
I managed to get a lift back to the iStore and guess what, the moment the 
assistant connected my Ipad mini 5 to their wifi all the native apps downloaded 
and installed. Now remember, with my wifi I could download third party apps 
like Audible, Kindle etc. and on my pc I can serve the net, download stuff and 
read new emails. So the funny thing: what setting or hardware aspect of my 
cellular wifi router prevents the native apps on the iPad to download and 
install. The guy at the iStore had no idea. Can one of the experts on the list 
think of a reason. I would like to know so that I can change my wifi settings 
or at least advise future users just to try a different network. I did insert 
the sim card into another router so the network provider is the same but the 
problem stayed. Well, at least my trip to the iStore was worth while so that I 
can now use my Ipad mini 5.
