Using siri on the mac

[Ian Harrison]

Hi all,
just getting to grips with the above.

When I ask Siri something all I get back is Alex saying notifications. I assume 
the answer from siri is in the notification, but how can I get it to start 
reading the response immediately?

With thanks as always
Ian

Voice Over typing feedback in Safari based survey

[Ian Harrison]

Hi all,
recently I tried to complete an online survey, about accessibility would you 
believe, and came across a problem when trying to respond a text entry box. I 
got the usual text edit prompt but it was followed by something like ‘object 
replacement’. When I attempt to type there is no longer any letter or word 
feedback and I have no idea if it is accepting my typing.

I tried various ways of interacting further and tried it with quicknave both on 
or off.

Is this a bug or is there a workaround?

Thanks as always

Mecbook air replacement magsafe charger

Hi everyone,
My 2014 magsafe charger is fraying at the tip. I don’t want to pay £79 from the 
apple store but also don’t trust Amazon reviews. Has anyone out there got a 
cheaper version that they have been happy with for a while? One I have seen is 
by a company called Nodara.

Re: Forwarded Email: Alexa and finding previous In Touch Radio 4 programs

[Ian Harrison]

Hi Pat,
Apple’s podcast app is part of the standard set up on your iphone. I am 
assuming suddenly that you have an iphone or a Mac? Perhaps I should have asked.

If you do, you open it up ; find the search tab; double tap; enter In Touch 
into the search box and double tap on the search button at the bottom right of 
the screen; go into the list of results and double tap on the bbc in touch 
result. Explore the page and find the subscribe button. There is also a see all 
previous episodes button somewhere on the page; if you double tap that you can 
scroll back through all older episodes.

Hi,

I have a different option as I don’t know the Alexa method. I listen to In 
Touch through the Apple Podcast app, which can play a large number of older 
episodes. The podcasts are probably an edited version of the broadcast.

Update on turning touchpad off and on on the fly

[Ian Harrison]

Hi listers,
apologies if someone has already posted this.

A lister previously advised to use a connected mouse to turn off the touchpad 
so I woldn’t accidentally use the pad to change focus. I’ve now found a way to 
do this on the fly without the need for a mouse or external touchpad. I can now 
turn the pad back on when I have finished so my sighted friends can use it as 
intended.

Do the following:
Go to Apple preferences in Big Sur
click on Accessibility
Click on pointers in the table of options
Click on other pointer tab
Put a tick in the enable mouse keys box
Go into the mouse options pop up and tick turn off touchpad when mouse keys 
enabled
Click OK

Now you can toggle the touchpad on and off with 5 quick presses of the option 
key on the keyboard

Cheers
Ian

Unusual apple charge update

[Ian Harrison]

Hi all, the charge on my credit card for £33.99 was valid. The price of having

Getting the new Macbook air with silicon

[Ian Harrison]

Hi all,
I’m lucky enough to be getting this for Christmas. It will arrive with Big Sur 
installed and my old system was backed up to time machine with High Sierra. I 
have some questions please:

•If I set up my new machine from a time machine backup can I just transfer all 
my personal data and not downgrade back to High Sierra?

•Will this data transfer include all data such as email folders, apps installed 
and such like? 

•Will it include information such as email accounts and logins, Safari saved 
passwords and autofill data?

I really could do without having to set up from scratch again.

With thanks in advance as always.

Ian

Voiceover on mac and Microsoft Teams

[Ian Harrison]

Hi All,

My University is now using Teams for most learning. I was lead to believe it 
was accessible for Mac users, but I am not finding this to be the case. Sighted 
help tells me that Microsoft’s own guidance does not do what it says it should 
do; even using the key control modifier instead of the correct ‘command’.

Am I being stupid here or what?

Kind regards
Ian

Safari chat unable to enter text

[Ian Harrison]

Hi listers,

When in a chat element on a particular web page, voiceover tells me I am in a 
text entry area and then says edit message. This would normally mean I could 
start typing and get voiceover feedback as I type. However, voiceover is silent 
when I hit keys and the edit box does not appear to be accepting what I type.

I vaguely remember this as a problem some years ago but can’t remember the work 
around if there is one.

Any help?
Thanks
Ian

voice over problems just appeared

[Ian Harrison]

Dear all,
I am having problems with a couple of apps responding when using voice over 
that were not happening last week. I am in the UK and my Nationwide bank app 
and fantasy premier league app are now very flaky when trying to click on links 
or buttons. Is anyone else having this issue or something similar.

I have done the usual hard resets, deleting and redownloading steps. It may 
have started after updating to 13.5 but not sure. I have updated to 13.5.1 but 
the problem still exists.

I have contacted Nationwide and Apple but just get the usual finger pointing 
response. If anyone else can replicate the problem it would help me decide how 
to attack the problem further.

Thanks
Ian

New SE slight concern

[Ian Harrison]

Hi all,

Very happy with my new SE, but have one slight concern. I use the two finger 
double tap to pause and resume audio in various apps and it is much slower to 
respond than with my 6S. So much so that I sometimes do it again thinking I did 
the tap badly. It then catches up and reverses the original action.

Anyone else having this slow response?

Thanks in advance

Voice over speed

I am now using Catalina. I used to be able to adjust the voice over speed on

Any suggestions? I have looked at the rotor in Web settings but speech rate is 
not in there. I’m sure it used to be.

OT advice on trading in old units in apple store

[Ian Harrison]

Hi all,

I am thinking of trading in my old iphone and Macbook with Apple in order to 
buy new ones. One thing I can’t find out is how it works while we can’t go to 
the stores. Could it all be done remotely? If I buy the new items, how long do 
I get to return the trade in items and do they send all the necessary 
packaging? How do they ensure the condition is right for the value they offer?

I have tried to find this out but frustrated in my wanderings around the store 
terms and conditions.

With thanks
Ian

Scanning solution

Hi listers,

I need to get a scanner for photos and A4 documents. Wireless would be nice but 
not if expensive. The main project is a load of photos my wife has but doesn’t 
have the time to scan them herself. Therefore it is my job to do the tedious 
task and it would be nice to have simple software that could detect the edges 
of the photos automatically and prefereably be voice over accessible. Any 
suggestions?

Sharing secure data with family

[Ian Harrison]

Hi all listers,

I am looking for the most accessible solution to sharing important data with my 
family, and only my family. Which app would you recommend?

I want to share bank account details, logins and text information such as where 
to find stuff in an emergency, so it can’t just be a password manager. Also it 
would be nice if each family member had their own vault, so to speak.

Suggestions gratefully received

Catalina mail app too verbose

Hi all,
having upgraded to Catalina I now find that voiceover reads out every detail of

mailbox. I used to be able just to scroll down by subject or date without 
hearing the rest. Is there any way around this extra noise?

File recovery

There is one called Disk Drill that gets good ratings on the appstore, but the

OCR PDFS on Mac or iphone

[Ian Harrison]

Hi listers,

Just upgraded to Catalina and I’ve lost my accessible Fine Reader software. Can 
you recommend something for either the Mac or iphone that will extract text to 
plain text or MS Word that is voice over friendly and doesn’t cost the earth.

I will be doing it a lot due to needing it for my degree.

Many thanks in advance
Ian

Creating a web site

[Ian Harrison]

Hi everyone, hope you are staying safe.

In this time of great boredom I would like to create a web site for my family. 
A simple one with no ecommerce etc.

Has anyone got experience with a provider who is voice over friendly? I am 
reasonable tec savvy but not a coder or html person. Square space looks good 
but I can’t find a way to contact them about such a specific question.

Thanks in advance
Ian

Dear listers,

this resource has been mentioned on a list. I have looked at it and it has a

Re: unable to shuffle an apple playlist on alexa

[Ian Harrison]

Her eis my experience with Alexa and apple music.

I ask alexa to play one of my playlists. Giving them unusual names seems to 
help. Once the playlist starts I say Alexa,, shuffle. I no longer say shuffle 
playlist as this seems to confuse things.

Also I found that when shuffled it will replay the playlist in exactly the same 
shuffled order. With some research I found out that Apple does not shuffle each 
time . Once shuffled it will play that shuffle every time. If you go into apple 
music on your apple device, open music and a playlist and then press the 
shuffle button it will then reshuffle the order again. A faff of course.

It would be nice if there was a way to get a playlist to play unplayed tracks 
first in every shuffle to avoid this. Could not find a way to set this up.

Cheers
Ian

Loadstone GPS

Dear All,
I am thinking of paying for the Loadstone in the UK. I want an app I can rely

complex to use, especially when out on the street. 

What is your experience and is it good enough to use in the UK?

Re: Sonos now has the Google Assistant

[Ian Harrison]

Hi,
I have also tried this out.
I agree it is a bit of a timewaster having to switch between the two, but the 
Sonos controller app makes it relatively straightforward.


One downside I haven’t cured is that Alexa can control some of my TV functions 
such as on/off and volume, through my sound beam, but I can’t find a way to do 
that with google.  A shame as it is miles ahead in terms of general information 
compared with the more clunky skills of Alexa.

imho

Re: Netflix questions

[Ian Harrison]

Hi All, here is my experience from the UK:

Accessing the list of AD films is different on the iphone to the Apple TV. On 
the iphone it feels like it is at the bottom of a vertical category list, while 
in the apple TV it is at the end of a horizontal list. Clicking on the category 
brings up over 700 currently described shows.

These lists change over time with some being withdrawn.

Sometimes older films are brought in. Jaws and the Back to the Future trilogy 
are currently available.

Annoyingly, sometimes AD will be missing even if listed. This has happened 
especially in TV series, such as Gotham. The first three series had AD. Series 
4 was listed as having it, but AD only appeared around episode 15. This is very 
frustrating.

What I do is go through the whole list every now and again, adding ones that 
look good to the My List category for future reference.

Hope this helps. Netflix is still the best experience out there in my humble 
opinion.

Ian

Re: Accessibility of Tp-Link smart switches and plugs

[Ian Harrison]

Hi, that sounds like a good deal. I forgot to add that the best sort to 
get are those that don’t need yet another hub to plug into a router. This is 
what puts me off buying into the philips hue system. My eyes would respond well 
to slight changes in lighting and an easy way to manage this would be great.

Cheers from UK

Re: Accessibility of Tp-Link smart switches and plugs

[Ian Harrison]

Hi, I have been using the app and Alexa for a while now. I use it for lamp 
switches, not the wall switches that are also available. The system works well 
once set up.

The Kassa app is ok if I remember rightly. You don’t really need it at all once 
you are set up properly as it all works through Alexa. I vaguely remember that 
initial set up of the plugs and pairing with wifi was a bit tricky. I used 
sighted help with this as I had to know which lights were flashing on the 
units. The Kassa app is fairly accessible but again it was a lot more efficient 
to get sighted help for creating groups.

If you can have some working eyes around for the set up I thoroughly recommend 
them. Amazon often has a deal on the smart plugs, but I don’t know about the 
wall switch side of things.

Cheers

Re: Netflix no longer reads synopsis of

[Ian Harrison]

I know this is an old question, but I thought I would announce this workaround.

When a programme is highlighted in netflix, hold down the apple remote’s 
play/pause button for a couple of seconds and voice over will read out the 
synopsis or screen contents.

The play/pause is the round one at the bottom left of the remote.

Good luck

Re: Glasses

[Ian Harrison]

Hi. IMHO I think the pricing reflects the current scale of the operation. It is 
a bit like how expensive mobile phone minutes or internet used to be until 
numbers increased. However a product for the blind is not such a mass market - 
only 285 million of us across the world at the last count. 

Even so, it would be a mistake if they could not eventually produce a more 
affordable option. The barriers to entry for products such as KNFB and Senderro 
are proof of this. It is a risky business when someone like Microsoft can 
suddenly come up with Seeing AI, pretty much undercutting KNFB and many other 
stand alone apps.

I am in the UK, so canot currently try Aira out. I would love to see how it 
impacted on my life. If it was marginal I would simply stop buying minutes. I 
would hope they would go to rollover minutes but that would seriously affect 
their cash flow at this time of development and growth.

 Out of curiosity, what plans are people who have these glasses have? I 
 personally can't justify the price for none of the plans. I would be 
 prohibiting to use them on my job due to sensitive material I have or in 
 contact with. Also the money spent for the glasses and plans could be used 
 to pay bills, save for a vacation or so many items. I respect there are a 
 lot who like this application but it is but not for me. If those who have 
 these glasses go shopping with them, how long does it take you to go 
 shopping? Is it faster then asking for assistance or using the on line 
 services offered by a lot of chains? Thanks for any responses.

Re: Questions re TP Link smart plug

[Ian Harrison]

Hi, my experience with the TP link and its Kasa app is pretty good. 
However, I was unable to set specific schedules in the app withvoiceover; my 
sighted wife had to do it. I have written to the Kasa developer and reported 
this as an issue. If everyone would do this then it is possible the Alexa app 
and other skills could become less clunky to use.

Re: Daisy?

[Ian Harrison]

Hi,
not sure if you mean on windows only. The only reliable daisy reading app I 
have found is for IOS. It is called Voice Dream Reader and I import my RNIB 
daisy audio books into it. They work great. The app is not cheap, but it can 
read just about any format you can throw at it.

Re: Two Apple TV Related Questions

[Ian Harrison]

Hi, Can’t help with direct tv, but I think once you get to the “one of four” 
point in voices you need to click on the touch screen to get into the list of 
choices. A bit like having to interract with an object slider.

Hope this is right and solves it.

Re: Offline maps?

[Ian Harrison]

Nearby Explorer is not fully functional in the UK as yet. I contacted them two 
weeks ago and they say they are building a UK version. When it comes out I will 
probably buy it as it looks like it does what I want.

I have got the Nearby Explorer Online version, which shows what it will be 
capable of, but currently does not do turn by turn instructions or link to 
public transport etc.

In the US it downloads all maps to your phone, so you need a fair bit of free 
space, but it does mean you use less power and data when out and about.

Re: Favorite Tech Podcasts

[Ian Harrison]

Hi all. I tend to agree that listening through the app on my phone is better 
and more reliable. However, I have had some success asking Alexa to ask Anypod 
to play a named podcast. The trouble with Alexa is having to remember the name 
of the skill as well as the name of the podcast. I hope that the Echo gets 
smarter by eliminating skill names as I like the rest of what it does. I use it 
to play my audible books and it works great.

Maps usage guidance

[Ian Harrison]

Dear listers,

I have decided to become a bit more independent in walking around. I am a 
pretty experienced voice over user but struggle to set up journeys for turn by 
turn guidance in both Apple maps and Google..

I have listened to many in depth podcasts but cannot seem to find one or two 
that cover the skills needed to accomplish a good experience with these apps. 
Can anyone point me to a masterclass?

On a connected note, I have read all the recent discussions on various support 
apps such as nearby explorer, blind square, soundscape. Is there a definitive 
answer to the best combination of turn by turn walking and public transport 
with spacial awareness as you go along? Again a complex series of podcasts on 
this would be a major achievement. I am too inexperienced and nervous to try 
and do a podcast experiment myself.

Thanks for your thoughts.
Ian

Re: Google Assistant with voiceover?

[Ian Harrison]

Hi all,
do you know if you can get the assistant on your phone to work the same as the 
stand alone device? That is not to have to tap the microphone or at least have 
google read the results back to you rather than have to scroll down the answers 
and have voice over read them?

Thanks

Re: Soundscape

[Ian Harrison]

I am also trying this out in the UK. I completely agree that we should be able 
to set current location as a user defined point of interest, so that a beacon 
can be used later - for example finding one’s way home.  As for the overall 
product I think it is imaginative and empathetic as a work in progress. I found 
that if one overshoots the beacon one is heading for the sound does come from 
behind me. I have not yet tested the accuracy, but hope to do so soon. It is, 
of course an enormous battery hog; no surprise there.

I think as many people as possible should give it a good go and feed back to 
Microsoft.It can only encourage further development by the big tech boys and 
girls.
