All iphone's from the 8 and later, support wireless charging, and as for the 
iphone SE2, Apple have now integrated Qi wireless charging into it’s new iPhone 
SE 2020. A feature which was not found on the previous iPhone SE or even the

Hi,
 
Can someone tell me which IPhones can be wirelessly charged or maybe it would 
be easier to list the older phones that cannot? Can the new SE2020 use a

My 2 cents: If you don't have a good reason for getting 256 gigs of storage, 
save some money and don't do it. I had an iPhone with 256 gigs storage and 
for most of the year I had the phone, I didn't store more than 50 gigs. I'm 
sticking to the 128 gig storage phones, unless I suddenly come across a huge 
need for more storage. 128 suits me fine though, since about half is taken 
up with music, books, and apps, and I've got lots of storage to go before 
getting close to filling up my phone.

hi,

how can you make voice over only say links one time when reading through 
messages in watsapp? at the moment it reads the link, says the time the message 
was sent and then proceeds to read the whole link again which can get very 
annoying if there are a lot of links or when the link is so long.

What's New In iOS 13 Accessibility For Individuals Who Are Blind or 
Deaf-Blind


18 September, 2019
Submitted by Scott Davert on


introduction

It's September, and that means a lot of things. For users of iOS devices, 
it's time for a new major iOS update.


Just like other releases, this latest build brings a lot of new features 
and enhancements to supported iOS Devices. Major changes include a 
system-wide Dark Mode, QuickPath keyboard, support for thumb drives and 
other USB external memory devices, call blocking features for spam 
callers, and much more. Many blogs will be highlighting these new 
enhancements to iOS, so I will not discuss them in great detail here. This 
article will deal with enhancements pertaining to accessibility: 
specifically, those changes which impact individuals who are blind or 
deaf-blind.


Those of you who pay attention to such things may have realized that I did 
not include low vision in the title of this article. This, sadly, was not 
due to an error, but is due to the fact that I could not get what I felt 
was sufficient feedback from low vision users to comment on the changes 
related to low vision. As such, it is my hope that someone from the low 
vision community can cover these features in more detail.


One of the joys and curses of getting a new release from Apple is that 
they do not actively document the changes in accessibility with their 
products. This is good for me, because it gives me the chance to share new 
features with my readers, but it is also a challenge. While I have taken 
care to work extensively with iOS 13 since the first Beta release in June, 
there will be things that I have missed. I'm confident this will also be 
the case with other people attempting to do the same thing. This is also 
part of the fun. Whenever I discover a new feature that was not previously 
written about, it's almost like solving a puzzle or getting an early 
Birthday present.


Check Before You Update!

Unfortunately, along with all of the new features discussed below, there 
are some bugs that users should be aware of before deciding to upgrade; 
this AppleVis post lists many of the bugs that have been found in the 
final release of iOS 13.0. While these bugs are present, Apple is working 
on iOS 13.1which will hopefully resolve many of the issues found in 13.0.


General Changes

In General, Apple Has Removed Accessibility

That heading may have you wondering whether this will be a very short blog 
post, but if you scroll down, you will see that I'm just as long-winded as 
in previous years. If you scroll down the Settings app, you will see that 
Accessibility has been moved out of the General menu, and onto the top 
level of the Settings app.


Another iOS Update, Another New Siri Voice

iOS 13 brings a new Siri voice to your iOS Device. This voice is only 
available as the female Siri voice. It adds more inflection, thus giving 
the speech a more natural quality, but sounds similar to the version that 
was on iOS 12 otherwise. At this time, the new Siri voice is only 
available in U.S. English.


Dictate From Anywhere

In most cases, there is now a “dictate” button beside almost all search 
boxes.. Selecting this option will allow you to dictate whatever you would 
like to search for within that application.


Speak To Me

Another new feature which may benefit some users is the new Voice Control 
feature. By default, it is turned off. You can either tell Siri to open 
settings for Voice Control, or navigate to Settings > Accessibility > 
Voice Control and begin setting it up.


If you select to turn Voice Control on, before using it, you will need to 
be on wifi to download 250MB of data so that Voice Control can work 
regardless of whether your iOS Device is connected to the internet or not.


After the download has completed, moving to the right one option will 
explain what Voice Control is. Continuing to the right, you will find the 
language that is selected. Further along in this menu, you will encounter 
several buttons: Customize Commands, Command Feedback, Vocabulary, Show 
Confirmation, Play Sound, Show Hints, Overlay, and have the option to help 
Apple improve Voice Control. A brief explanation of each option follows.


The Customize Commands option allows you to not only customize what will 
cause Voice Control to perform a specific function, but will also allow 
you to create your own. Selecting each option from this menu will allow 
you to see a full list of what commands are available. Within each of the 
commands, you will also find the ability to turn that specific command off 
if you wish.


Continuing down the Voice Control menu, you will find an option called 
“vocabulary”. This is a

Yes Audible app supports family sharing. 
Now, whether that gives the other person full access to your library, I'm not 
sure.
You set up family sharing under the main settings for iCloud I believe. I'd 
suggest contacting audible directly.


In your Audible app, open Profile, help, and then activate the item that says 
"Email Us."


Always look out for #1, and be careful not to step in #2.

Re: tabs ons safari

['Husna Begum' via VIPhone]

hi,

what is the point of tabs then if you can have only one open at a time? i 
thought it was like having several sessions of word open with different 
documents open  so i could have one tab for Google etc and another tab for 
listening to a program for example from a website. at the moment i start 
listening to some thing on a website which maybe 1.5 hours long, half way 
through i might need to look at some thing else but if i move away from that 
website i lose my place in the recording and this recording is so annoying in 
that you can only move forward by 30 seconds at a time. so is there no way i 
can have 2 sites open in safari at the same time?

thanks,

To switch tabs, double tap on the tab at the bottom right corner, and you can 
then pick the one you want to switch to. 
You can only have one open at a time, but you can have hundreds of tabs 
available.
You should be able to close them by double tapping and holding, and when you 
hear the tone, you will have a choice to close it.

Bathroom Scales

Hi,

Is it worth buying smart scales such as the kantron smart body fat analyser or 
renpho Bluetooth body fat scale? Has any one used either of these with the 
IPhone and how accessible and easy to use have you found them? Or is it best to 
just stick with the ordinary traditional scales?

Yes, that is true although the same applies to the LoganTech braille labeler, 
you can get a QWERTY keyboard for it and then any sighted person can produce 
perfect braille labels.

You are right about rail been faster to read once it’s on the containers. The 
big advantage to the pen friend is that a sighted person can do the whole 
business. They can do it when they have time, not when you both have time, so 
you can make the braille labels that they can’t make.

Extracting a portion of recording from audio memos

['Husna Begum' via VIPhone]

Hi,

Using audio memos pro I have a recording of 4 hours and 40 minutes and i want 
to extract from 4 hours 9 minutes to 4 hours  19 minutes, how would i do that? 
I have set markers but they don’t seem to work as when i vo to the refractor 
bit all of the recording is there and nothing happens when i press on the 
markers button (i thought it would jump to a specific marker) also when i try 
to select a specific portion of the recording it only allows me to select 
lengths of 14 minutes and 2 seconds long. so by the time i have gone to 4 hours 
i can only select from 4 hours 12 minutes to 4 hours 26 minutes which leaves 
out part of the recording i wanted. is there a way i can select any part of the 
recording rather than being arbitrarily restricted by audio memos as to the 
particular time i can choose?

Thanks, Husna

Re: Battery still an issue with iPhone SE and iOS 12

which phones are they offering that battery deal for and is it available in

You said 18 month old iPhone SE. That battery is probably a bit degraded
which would cause something like this to happen. but you can go to
settings and battery to see if you're phone is doing anything during
those six hours it's just sitting there. I recently learned that mine
was and zello was the cause. Zello was causing my phone to be in use for
around 20 minutes per hour when I was asleep one night. And the app was
closed. You might want to take advantage of the $29 battery replacement
program that Apple is offering until the end of this year.

Hi, all.  I'm using an eighteen month old iPhone SE.  I've had iOS 12 for 
over a month and I'm still plagued by battery issues.



I can unplug my phone once it's charged to 100% and leave it alone for six 
or seven hours and my battery will be at around 92% with no apps running, 
the phone being locked and set to Do Not Disturb.


I always have four Verizon bars and three wifi bars, so the phone isn't 
even having difficulty finding a signal on either network. This battery 
drain happens while the phone is unplugged and sitting on my nightstand in 
the same room as the wifi router and a window, so there again, it's not 
having issues staying connected.


Here's what I've tried so far to resolve the issue:  Screen time is off, 
Location services are off, Auto brightness is off, raise to wake is off, 
background app refresh is off, Email and other push notifications have 
been disabled, network settings have been reset at least twice.  I've also 
rebooted the phone with the power/home button combo.  Last week I tried 
charging it to 100, shutting the phone down completely, and keeping it 
plugged into the charger for about eight hours.


I didn't have these issues before upgrading from iOS 10 to 12. Before the 
upgrade I noticed the biggest battery drain using YouTube or other apps 
where the phone had to be unlocked while in use, but that was expected.



My only thought now is to do the reset where I need to restore the phone 
as a new device.



Is there anything else I can do to resolve the issue?  Also, if I do the 
restore, can I do this using iTunes, my PC and no working eyeballs?



Other than the battery issues, I'm not having any difficulty with my 
phone.  And, as I said, I wasn't having these issues before the upgrade.



TIA for thoughts.


Lisa

Accessibility of scribd and bookshare

['Husna Begum' via VIPhone]

Hi,

How easy have you found downloading books from Scribd to your iPhone? At first 
glance it seems better than kindle and audible. Also I was thinking of joining 
bookshare, it doesn’t seem to have much if you are from the UK, for example 
when I searched for Brandon Sanderson and Laini Taylor using the basic search, 
a lot of their books were available but when I searched for the same authors 
using the advanced search and limited the search to those books available from 
the UK, hardly any books were available. so I am wondering when we will have 
the same access to bookshare as people in the USA, I thought with the changes 
to the copyright law etc we would have full access by now?

Thanks, Husna

If you want to read mail or some printed info, use the quick text mode.
Raise your phone up slowly from the printed text and it will start reading.
This is a live reading, no processing, so when it starts reading you can
pull the phone away, and it will continue reading what it saw.
To read bar codes go to product mode, and it will beep faster as it begins
to see the bar code.  Try those two out for now.

Hello everyone,


Could someone please give me some tips on how to possibly use Seeing AI?


I've tried to get it to work a couple of times now, with absolutely no luck!
I think it's human error. I really don't know for sure though.


I tried to read a can yesterday. It wouldn't do anything. So I switched
channels and tried to read a piece of mail. Again, nothing happened.


I am holding the camera above the item, and moving the phone slowly back
and forth.

Is this how I should do it?


Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Also, it might help if you can ask a sighted friend or family menber to 
observe you when you try to use the Document or barcode channels, they might 
be able to give you feedback which might help down the road.
All in all I still think that Seeing AI is an awesome tool offering so many 
features in one app and I commend Microsoft for developing this app. The 
nice thing is that Microsoft has the resources to continue development and 
updates and it is probably a lot less likely to be one of those apps which 
start so promising and then end in a fizzle before they disappear or simply 
remain in the app store for years without updates.

Raise your phone up slowly from the printed text and it will start reading.
This is a live reading, no processing, so when it starts reading you can 
pull the phone away, and it will continue reading what it saw.
To read bar codes go to product mode, and it will beep faster as it begins 
to see the bar code.  Try those two out for now.

Hello everyone,


Could someone please give me some tips on how to possibly use Seeing AI?


I've tried to get it to work a couple of times now, with absolutely no luck!
I think it's human error. I really don't know for sure though.


I tried to read a can yesterday. It wouldn't do anything. So I switched 
channels and tried to read a piece of mail. Again, nothing happened.



I am holding the camera above the item, and moving the phone slowly back and 
forth.


Is this how I should do it?


Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: Seeing AI help

['Husna Begum' via VIPhone]

quite often it beeps and beeps really fast but doesn't read anything, i 
wanted it to read some baby food jars but it wouldn't do it for ages and 
then  suddenly begin to read it and i never knew what made it finally read 
it. it was so frustrating and a thing that should take a few seconds could 
often waste more than 5 minutes. also why does the document channel only 
read a tiny part of the page, it does not read the whole thing so i use the 
short text channel but that is annoying because if you move even slightly it 
starts from the beginning again. i thought seeing ai would be so good but as 
often with blindness technology it is not what it is cracked up to be and 
leaves you with frustration with the lack of sight.

Subject: Apple, everyone Needs More Free iCloud Storage, The Verge

Apple, everyone needs more free iCloud storage
By Chris Welch

During yesterday's education-focused event that saw the introduction of a
new iPad, Apple executive Greg Joswiak revealed that the company is
upgrading the amount of free iCloud storage given to students. Previously,
managed student accounts had the same 5GB as regular consumers, but now,

Apple is raising that limit to a much more spacious 200GB. This applies to
students who have Apple IDs provided and administered by their school.

That's a great thing! Apple is displaying a focused, determined approach to
providing educators with powerful new hardware and improved classroom
software and services. 200GB is an enormous amount of runway for
collaboration and creation among students.
But why shouldn't people shelling out hundreds of dollars for an iPhone or
iPad have a similar, worry-free chunk of storage in the cloud for their
photos, documents, message history, and other precious content? Apple
charges consumers $2.99 per month for that same 200GB allotment (which can
be shared between family members), so you'd be paying just shy of $36
annually. That's not much, but it continues to feel like ill-disguised penny
pinching from the world's biggest and richest tech company. In January, John
Gruber said the included allotment of 5GB "seems ridiculous" when it comes
alongside a 64GB device. If you've got a 256GB iPhone or 512GB iPad, it
becomes even more unreasonable.

seven years ago.
The 5GB limit has been in place since Apple unveiled iCloud at WWDC 2011.
It's been almost seven years! That's too long to be stuck in place, and it's
reminiscent of the way Apple dragged its feet in moving away from 16GB
iPhones. It eventually happened, but long after many of us had determined
16GB to be an unworkable amount of space.
A lot of people (most?) buy the base-level iPhone, so Apple's decision on
how much storage goes inside is a critical choice. And the same holds true
for iCloud; I'd wager that most customers never upgrade from the free tier.
They just won't give in, whether it's out of principle or because they're
sensibly trying to avoid yet another monthly charge in their lives.
5GB makes things way more difficult for those people than they should be.
Fundamental tasks like backing up your device become cumbersome chores. If
you never upgrade, you're likely going to have a worse time using an iPhone.
Full stop. It surprises me that Apple continues to let that fly.
Also disappointing is that the paid tiers have continued to increase in
capacity over time, but the free allotment hasn't budged even once.
And despite Apple's best efforts (like the video above) to explain how you
can manage iCloud, customers are inevitably confused, frustrated, and
annoyed when they hit the ceiling. It usually happens well before they
approach the limits of their iPhone or iPad's physical storage, and that
disconnect between the two only makes things more irritating.

The most effective ad that Google has ever made for Google Photos was aimed
at the dread of seeing Apple's "not enough storage" message pop up on your
iPhone's screen. It works because it's a thing that millions of people have
experienced. Joanna Stern likens the message to a ransom note; you'd better
pay up if you want to keep all that data safe.
Apple's ideal scenario involves you continuing through those prompts and
upgrading to a higher tier of monthly iCloud space in seconds. And sure,
maybe that's an inevitability if you're storing years of photos in the
cloud. Apple has no obligation to give you a free digital locker for
everything. Buying an expensive gadget doesn't somehow make us entitled to
that. But people are hitting this wall way, way too soon in their experience
with an iPhone or iPad.
For context, let's look at what you get on Android:
Google: 15GB of free cloud storage with Google Drive, unlimited photo backup
with Google Photos at "optimized" quality. 100GB for $1.99 / month, 1TB for
$9.99 / month, or 10TB for $99.99 / month.
Samsung: Samsung Cloud, the iCloud equivalent for Galaxy S and Note
smartphones, also offers 15GB of storage to start out. 50GB is $0.99 /
month, and 200GB matches Apple's monthly price of $2.99.

So 15GB is the baseline for Apple's competitors. That still feels
insufficient, but it's a big enough increase to make a difference when it
might count.
I'm hopeful yesterday's announcement for schools was a precursor to an
increase in iCloud storage for everyone at WWDC in June. Apple is long
overdue to raise it up to an amount that's actually helpful for the

I would second, or third, the votes for BlindSquare. Though it is not
specifically an app to give direction from Point A to Point B, you can
use BlindSquare to get information about your environment, in
conjunction with Apple/Google Maps to get directions, or to look up
other information like menus from many restaurants. Also, it is
updated fairly often with fixes and new features. I recall seeing in
the last update that their Open Street Map data was updated, whatever
that means. If you want something more "blindness specific" which will
tell you exactly where the door of a business is locate relative to
you, then go for one of the other more expensive apps. BlindSquare
works for me and suits my purposes.

Another consideration is where in the world you are located.  You do not

and this is an important consideration for anyone asking for app
recommendations. Nearby Explorer is only currently available in North
America while the other two have maps for other parts of the world.  Also,
you do not say if you need the app in a language other than English.

explorer supports only English while Blind Square supports more than 20

Well,

It depends what GPS functions you're looking for: orientational,

If you're wanting both orientational and navigational gps, your
choices are "Seeing Eye Gps", and "Nearby Explorer."

In this writer's opinion, "Nearby Explorer is a much better option
than Seeing Eye GPS;
1:  It's much cheeper;
2: Updates to the program are much more frequent.
3: It is, in my opinion, a much more complete GPS system than
Seeing-Eye GPS.

If, on the otherhand, you're only interested in orientational GPS, by
far, your best option is, again in my opinion, BlindSquare.  It's been
around now for some time and is a very mature product.  It also
supports the "What Three Words" service.

I agree with Mike, although I don't have a lot of experience with
Seeing Eye; it's price alone of $300 is a great deal more than the $80
of Nearby Explorer.

I believe the support for Seeing Eye may be better (in that you can
pick up a phone and call someone, or email their support department),
where-as Nearby Explorer's only support is a mailing list (nothing
else).  The lack of support is perhaps my only significant criticism
offered for Nearby Explorer.

If money is very important, you can try the $20 Blind Square ... not
my favorite because the maps it uses for intersections are "free" ones
created by volunteers, and so often quite incorrect, but it's price is 
the

best.

Hello Husna,

While I enjoy audio books, every day on my iPhone via the Over Drive app, 
currently, it is not possible to read eBooks via Over Drive when VoiceOver 
is enabled.


Be that as it may, I strongly recommend the iOS Over Drive app to anyone who 
enjoys Audible audiobook content, as they use the exact same files, though 
the cover art may differ.


For example, I have downloaded over 30  audiobooks via Over Drive since the 
start of the year, absolutely free.  Of course, these titles are made 
available via the public library system and, as such, one can listen to them 
for the allotted checkout time.  In my case, that is 21 days.  Still, it 
beats paying 20+ dollars or more for an audio book that I will most likely 
only listen to, once.  And of course, I can check out the books anytime they 
are available or be placed on an automatic waist list.


Should you decide to use Over Drive for audio books, be sure to join as many 
of your local libraries as possible so that you will have the widest 
selection of titles.  For example, sometimes, I will search for a title that 
is not available in one library but is available at another.


Good luck and enjoy,

Hi again. If you are not thinking in purchasing  another  apple device. I think 
the apple bluetooth keyboard wil work great for you! you can perform the iscren 
finger  gestures and so on. I have  evensome commands that you can use when you 
get it, and other I can teach you how to use.. I think the Apple Store  have a 
new one, but i have the   old one, but let me know which one you get and  I can 
teach you how to use it! For example, with the apple  bluetooth keyboard, if 
you press F1 and F2 you can lower and increse brightness instead of doing it 
wit with the swipe up and down gesture. but you can also use voiceover the 
rotor with the apple bluetooth keyboard  and use voiceover  rotor, and be able 
to increase Voiceover speaking rate and more! I look forward in hearing from 
you soon. Thanks and God bless!

Yu can read non DRM ePub files with Voice Dream Reader.  Or, join Bookshare 
and access their books with Voice Dream Reader.
But, as Mark said, if you are wanting eBooks from a library, they are not 
accessible.
Bookshare, for $50 per year has more eBooks than you will ever read and many 
are the same ones that you could buy through Kindle, Nook, iBooks, since 
they get much of their material directly from the publishers.

As of today, their web site says they have "550,000 titles s
 and counting!"

Hello Husna,

While I enjoy audio books, every day on my iPhone via the Over Drive app, 
currently, it is not possible to read eBooks via Over Drive when VoiceOver 
is enabled.


Be that as it may, I strongly recommend the iOS Over Drive app to anyone who 
enjoys Audible audiobook content, as they use the exact same files, though 
the cover art may differ.


For example, I have downloaded over 30  audiobooks via Over Drive since the 
start of the year, absolutely free.  Of course, these titles are made 
available via the public library system and, as such, one can listen to them 
for the allotted checkout time.  In my case, that is 21 days.  Still, it 
beats paying 20+ dollars or more for an audio book that I will most likely 
only listen to, once.  And of course, I can check out the books anytime they 
are available or be placed on an automatic waist list.


Should you decide to use Over Drive for audio books, be sure to join as many 
of your local libraries as possible so that you will have the widest 
selection of titles.  For example, sometimes, I will search for a title that 
is not available in one library but is available at another.


Good luck and enjoy,

Mark

Using a keyboard with the iPhone

[Husna Begum]

Hi,

When I am using Overdrive to listen to books, some times I have to rewind a few 
times during the course of the book, each time the home button needs to be 
pressed, I am worried this will eventually damage the home button. If I attach 
a keyboard to the phone can I rewind books etc using a button on the keyboard 
instead of needing to press the home button?

Let me know.

Re: A couple of issues with IPhone SE

Hi,

Never would have guessed the raise to wake was in display and brightness,

all the sounds off e.g. when you flick left and right, I wanted all the other 
sounds to remain, is there no way of doing that?

Hi. First off, for your lifting the phone issue, go to settings, display and 
brightness and turn raise to wake off.

As for Voiceover saying screen locked, if you turn off sounds in settings, 
general, accessibility, Voiceover and Audio, you will get the screen locked 
message again. This is a new feature in iOS 10 where if you have sounds 
enabled, you don't get that message.

  Hi Shaf,


  Strictly speaking what you and Sarah describe would be fraud, a thief is 
somebody who steels something by breaking into your house or maybe from a store 
during opening hours. Anyhow, in a way it is symantics. I don't fault you and 
Sarah from being angry, but I still say that the 2,000 people on this list 
which deals with the iPhone, iOS, apps and accessories want to continuously 
come across posts where every time Eden posts something you call her out by 
calling her a thief, crook or whatever. If somebody has the moderators 
permission to advertise an item for sale and you see Eden replying you can 
always send that person a direct message to warn them, but while I am sorry for 
you having been defrauded it should not be a continuous issue on this or other 
lists. I'll leave it at this and won't comment further.

Subject: It's true that Eden Kizer has scammed a lot of unsuspecting people

Hi list,

I was reading a thread where somebody else said that they were scammed by an 
individual named Eden Kizer. I was one of those individuals who was scammed by 
her.

Just over a year ago I advertised a BrailleNote braille display on 
Blindbargains, and was contacted by somebody named Eden Kizer asking too 
purchase it from me. I was selling it for $4000 and she said she couldn't 
afford to pay for it all at once. She asked me if she could pay monthly 
installments of $500 and, since I really wanted to sell it and thought she 
would honor her word, I took the first payment of $500 and sent her the 
BrailleNote. The BrailleNote was in excellent condition, had no scratches or 
dents, had an excellent battery and came with all the accessories including the 
carrying case.

I have yet to receive the rest of the payment for the BrailleNote (she owes me 
$3500). I have previously attempted to call her about it, and rather than 
talking about why she wouldn't pay the rest of the money she owes me she 
decided to change her phone number. She also ignores my emails.


I just want everybody to be aware of Eden's scams. I'm extremely upset that she 
didn't pay me back in full for the BrailleNote I sold her and hope she doesn't 
do the same to anybody else. I'd hate to know that other people have also been 
scammed by her, although I'm sure she's done the same to others. I was only 
trying to do her a favor by accepting payment installments since I understand 
not everybody has $4000 to pay all at once, but now I know not to do that 
anymore and only accept a payment in full.


Thanks for reading and I hope people think twice before falling for these 
horrible scams.


Sarah

Re: KNFB reader, having more focused subject headings

[Husna Begum]

Hi,

Reading the emails now i can see people wrote about the KNFB reader offer 
quite a lot but I was busy during the last couple of weeks and did not have 
time to read emails, I just look through the subject headings and deleted 
the ones I was not interested in, of course all the subject heading just 
said KNFB reader and not KNFB reader offer or sale on or anything so I 
missed the crucial date. So I am just asking people to be more precise and 
if there is a sale on for a popular app to say in the subject heading sale 
on or offer or something so people can immediately tell there is an offer on 
rather than just miss an offer because they didn't have time to read emails 
just then.


Thank you for your understanding and cooperation

Krister and others,

I'll add to Sieghard's already helpful instructions. Try getting a piece of 
paper you know is white with black text for scanning with Knfb reader. Place 
it on a table you know is dark in a room with good lighting. After you place 
the iPhone on top of the paper with the rear facing camera in the center of 
the page, slowly lift the phone to the height Sieghard suggested which is 
about 8 inches for me. Now place two fingers on the field of view button on 
the right side of the Knfb main screen. Gently lift one of those two fingers 
while leaving the other one in contact with the screen. The field of view 
picture should take using this split finger method with a bare minimum of 
phone movement. If your page has good contrast with its background and your 
lighting is good, I'm thinking you might get your first field of view report 
where all four corners are seen. You can use this same split finger method 
when taking the actual picture scan.


Best of luck and please keep trying.

Hi Krister,

I certainly hope you didn't feel I was "flaming" you; if it came across 
this way I want to apologize since it certainly wasn't my intention. I was 
simply responding to your statement you didn't get any help on the list 
regarding this with examples of helpful posts where people tried to 
explain what they do. I do understand that not everybody is created equal 
and certain tasks are very difficult for some people. When I was at the 
German Secondary High School for the Blind in Marburg, Germany, a girl in 
my class had such poor O skills that she would get turned around in a 6 
foot (2 meter) wide corridor and didn't realize it. She had hours and 
hours of O training but simply had no sense of direction or special 
awareness and it is hard for me to even imagine how this can be since my 
sense of direction, balance and special awareness is extremely good. Of 
course I had perfect sight for the first almost 17 years of my life and 
was a competitive gymnast, horseback rider and recreational skier so 
balance is just not an issue for me and even now that I am 49 I rarely 
hurt myself if I do take a fall somewhere. Of course when I do hurt myself 
it seems to hurt longer than it did 20 years ago *smile*.
Anyhow, if you had sighted help and practiced lots and still find it 
difficult I don't think you need to feel ashamed about not being able to 
do it, simply use a stand since that should do the trick for you.

Sieghard

Error 53 could kill your iPhone if a non-Apple tech fixed it
By Justin Ferris

 
Photo courtesy of Shutterstock
For two decades, the worst error you could see in technology was Windows' "Blue 
screen of death." It's a sign that something is seriously wrong with your 
hardware or software, and you might be looking at hours or days of frustrating 
troubleshooting or repair.

However, the blue screen of death might finally lose its place in infamy to 
Apple's new "error 53." If you see this error on your iPhone, it means that 
your phone is completely locked. Your information is probably gone and Apple 
can't do anything to help. So, how does it happen?

This problem started popping up for iPhone 6 users who had had their phones 
repaired by third parties, or even had phones with mild damage that still 
worked fine. Specifically, it happened when phones started updating to iOS 9.

Once error 53 appears, the phone is completely locked. Affected users who take 
the locked phone to the Apple store are being told that the only fix is to buy 
a new iPhone. Even the data on the locked phone can't be recovered.

Next page: Why Apple says this happening, and could Apple have a more sinister 
plan?

By Justin Ferris

An Apple spokesperson speaking with Money has given an explanation. It comes 
down to the touch ID sensor in the home button. Whenever the home button is 
repaired or replaced, the sensor has to "uniquely pair" with the "secure 
enclave" in the phone that handles authentication.

If that pairing fails for some reason, the phone assumes someone has tried to 
attach a "malicious touch ID sensor" and the phone locks to protect your data. 
According to Apple, "unauthorised [sic]" repair can disrupt the touch ID sensor 
and cause this problem.

However, some people, especially those who now own worthless phones, are 
thinking there's more to the story. This only became a problem with iOS 9, 
which means iOS 8 wasn't concerned about the Touch ID pairing, or was more 
forgiving. So, why did Apple change things?

Some people have speculated that this is Apple's way of shutting down 
third-party repair shops and forcing users to get repairs done at the Apple 
Store. Third-party shops often charge much less than Apple does for similar 
repairs. If true, that's especially bad for people in countries or areas with 
few or no Apple Stores.

It is interesting to note that while Apple says the lockdown feature is a way 
to protect the information on the phone, it apparently has no way to reverse 
the lockdown so you can get your information back. It also didn't inform 
customers or repair shops that this was a possibility so they could decide if 
they wanted to take the risk.

Apple could be assuming that everyone uses its iCloud backup service to keep 
their information safe. However, it has to know that many people choose not to 
trust their information to the cloud.

Whether this is intentional or not, Apple users could be looking at a serious 
problem down the road. Of course, it could also be a serious problem for Apple 
if governments decide that locking out third-party repair shops (intentionally 
or not) violates some laws.

What do you think of error 53? Is it a security feature or an Apple scheme? Let 
us know your thoughts in the comments.

They can be as long as you have storage on your phone. I believe a minute of 
recording in the voice memos app takes up about 2 Mb, so a half hour 
recording would take up about 60 Mb, an hour 120 Mb, 10 hours 1.2 Gb etc.
I would, however, look at something like Dropvox (note, "Dropvox" with a "v" 
as in victor) which is a simple recording app that records in MP3 format and 
which automatically uploads recordings to a folder you specify in Dropbox. 
If you want to transfer your recordings to a computer this is by far the 
easiest way, if you use the native Voice Memos app you have to use iTunes to 
transfer the recordings and Dropvox makes it much easier and basically 
automates the task. You can even set Dropvox up so it starts recording as 
soon as you open the app, a great way to record a quick audio note without 
much fuss.

thanks, Paul. I don't have family sharing. I am the only one on the account.
And when I go into my account it looks like I'm subscribe still. I hate to
resubscribe. I don't need to memberships even if it is a free trial. So I
really don't know what's up. And I'm not sure where to call, since I don't
have AppleCare on this phone, thus I don't think they'll deal with me on the
phone if I call Apple. Do they actually deal with problems with radio etc.
over the phone?

Subject: Problems with Apple music radio?

Hi all,
I am having problems getting Apple music radio to load and play. I am also 
having problems getting Siri to play artist who are not in my personal 
purchased collection of music but are on Apple music. The radio tab simply 
says loading and stays that way. And when I ask Siri to play an artist who 
is not in my personally owned collection, I am told to open Apple music 
where I see a suggestion. But then I am told I need to join Apple music to 
play this and other songs by that artist. But I have already joined Apple 
music. My account says I am a member of Apple music. I don't understand 
it. Is anyone else having this problem?

Re: Audio Memos app now supports using the internal iDevice microphone in full frequency mode

Subject: Audio Memos app now supports using the internal iDevice microphone in 
full frequency mode

Hi, Like Boss Jock, this app now supports the removal of audio filters that are 
used by Apple to make the internal microphone use less bass response than 

the microphone can allow. Turn off these filters, and you have a very nice 
sounding, full frequency microphone. While Boss Jock can do the same thing, the 
Audio Memos app is less complicated because it is only for simple recording and 
not like Boss Jock which allows one to add and mix other sounds in with the 
recording.

 

One nice thing about this app is that you can turn the filters back on and now 
you have the microphone just as it sounds with the apple processing. Sometimes 
I want to choose, and with this app, I can.

 

There is a free version, and a paid version. The nice thing is that the paid 
version is as low as $0.99 and you can then decide on the in app purchases you 
want like voice activation and many others. The cost of the total app if you 
just want to purchase it out right is $9.99

 

The interface is very straight forward with a way to manually adjust the volume 
control and the limiter at the same time without having to deal with a lot of 
technical parameters.

 

There are many ways to export recordings. You can use iCloud, email, Air Drop, 
DropBox, iTunes, and you can even send them directly to your computer by using 
a variant of your computer IP address to connect to the app. You can also 
export files to other applications such as BossJock. In addition, You can 
import songs from your music into the recorder.

 

Two links below. First is to the iTunes app store where you can read more about 
and perhaps purchase this app. The second link is a short demo recording I made 
using both the filtered and unfiltered settings in the app.

 

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audio-memos-voice-recorder/id338550388?mt=8

Enjoy.

Re: Any thoughts on screen protectors?

Subject: Re: Any thoughts on screen protectors?

I pretty much always use cases with a built-in screen protector, such as the 
OtterBox Defender or Griffin Survivor. For the first little while that I had my 
iPhone 4, I used a Pixelspec HD case with a Solona  screen protector, but the 
protector kept getting pushed up on the sides by the case. I ended up removing 
the protector and the case, and switching to an OtterBox Defender. When that 
broke some time after getting my iPhone 4S, (the case lasted about four years 
for me) I moved to a Griffin Survivor.

When I get my new iPhone six, I'll most likely be moving back to the OtterBox 
defender again, since I like that style of case and clip better then the 
Griffin Survivor. The Defender allows easier access to the camera then does the 
Survivor. This was by design, as the Survivor has been made to comply with 
higher military specifications in regards to how much dirt, dust, moisture, 
etc. to protect against. The Survivors clip also grips the case in such a way 
that the charging port is unable to be accessed, and the Defender does not.

I haven't yet decided if I'm going to get a tactile screen protector from 
Speeddots that works with my iPhone 6's Defender case. Lol. It looks like I've 
made up my mind that I'm going to get an OtterBox cup of defender case for my 
new iPhone, as I'm talking like I have already decided to do so.


Thanks,
Ari

Hummmnmnm,   the logic of it threw me too,  so are we to understand the
app can't learn to rotate and process the image the other way? I know some
of the smarter pc based reader apps did this.

Kertsweil springs to mind.

Getting range or distence right would help too; wonder if they recommend a
viewing distence for this?

Those scanning boxes have their uses then, though not a portable solution.

Hi,

I'm no photographer, but I am a math and science guy. If you are saying that
taking a landscape picture of a page that is essentially a portrait improves
results, that makes no logical sense. The number of pixels lost is on the
order of 40%. You lose about 20% on the left and right sides to meaningless
background if a full portrait page is in view in landscape

I don't buy it. There must be another factor contributing to the issue.
Unless of course, the OCR engine works better with fewer pixels.

questions.

There's your problem, hold it in landscape mode, you'll get better
results.
I recommend Judy Dixon's book, Get the Picture, from National Braille
Press. it does a great job of helping a blind person understand
photography.

I tend to hold the phone so that the camera points towards the top of the
document. The vibration thingy is really a great help, they've been
thinking there. At the risk of sounding stupid again, should i not hold
the phone with the camera pointing to the top of the document but rather
as if i had it in landscape mode?

Hi Krister, hard to know what you're doing without seeing what you're
doing, but the one thing that comes to mind is, are you holding the
phone lengthways or sideways? I find I get the best results by putting a
page of text on a table, like I would be reading it in Braille or
visually. Then hold the phone sideways a few centimetres above the page.
Use the vibration feedback so that the phone stops vibrating, indicating
you have the angle right, then take the picture. For further feedback
before you take the picture, you might use the field of view report,
particularly in the early stages.
Good luck. This thing really rocks so stick with it.

What are you guys doing to get good results? Me, i got a lot of
gibberish and some readable text but not much. Is there a technique for
this? Does the reader give some kind of feedback when all text's
detected? Anyways now i know that it's me and not the app that's
stupid.:-)

I have played a bit today with this app on my iPhone 5S and it really
is pretty good. I just got it to read the instructions on a small
bread mix bag where the text was incredibly tiny and brown on a beige
background. The results were very quick and about 95% accurate! Harry

Eileen;

I believe I'm going to try it on my 5s.

If and, when I do, I'let everyone know.

Hello Jonathan,

Your first impressions of the KNFB app is encouraging. At this time,
I'm going to have to be on the sidelines until I decide on which
iPhone 6 I will purchase. This is my question to this thread. For
those who invest in the KNFB Reader app and have purchased either an
iPhone 6 or 6 plus, it would be terrific to post on the accuracy of
the app in comparison to the phone that they originally installed
the app on. Also, if one can also comment on the use of the app with
the 6 plus in particular because of the optical stabilization.
ANOTHER person read my mind regarding if your use of the app was
with the StandScan or with some other type of stand.

Thanks so much for your first impressions.

Best,
Eileen
