Re: The Accessibility of a Particular Metronome iPhone App

[Jim Portillo]

I am so sorry. I did not look it up on Applevis. I should have, and I didn't even think about it. I think I spent more time playing with it and after frustration, I just went to the list. My apologies.Sent from my iPhone 15 Pro!On May 12, 2024, at 8:46 PM, Anna Dresner  wrote:Hello Jim,Have you looked this app up on appleVis?

Some of the buttons don’t seem to be labeled, and I can’t tell how to set a particular tempo or beats per minute.Before I write to the app developer, I wanted to know if anyone has used it or if other people find it useable and maybe I am the one missing something. I don’t want to write a developer and give him a whole deal about accessibility to blind people when other blind people are using the app just fine. I hope you don’t mind if I brought this up on the list.If this is not a useable app, does anyone have a good app that can be used with the phone? I’m using Tempo Perfect, but to set it, I have to literally slide my finger up and down through the beats per minute, and if I’m going from 60 to 160, I would like a better way.

Uncertain About Language Setting

I thought I read something on this list that there is a new VO command to

like to know. I’ve not had a lot of time to keep up with the new settings and 
commands these past couple mon ths. 

Issue with Signing Into Google Apps on the iPhone

[Jim Portillo]

Hi everyone,

Here's an interesting issue I'm not able to work around, and I've tried a
few things.

I upgraded to the new iPhone 15 Pro at the end of September, and I really
like how it's working. 

I tried signing into YouTube TV on my app. I had to sign into my google
account. When I entered my password, it went to a new Two-step
Authentication process, which doesn't seem to work at all. It told me to
open the google app and tap "yes" on a message that would pop up. I also
noticed that if I told it to "re-send", the button was unavailable. That's
what VoiceOver said.\

There was nothing in the google app when I opened itup. Then again, I hadn't
signed into my google account there yet. I thought perhaps it would work
better if I actually signed into my google account on the google app. It did
the same thing. I was signing up, and it told me to open my google app and
tap something there. It's weird and hard to open an app that you're already
trying to sign into for a two-step authentication.

Now, in the two-step process, there was another option to get the code or
message a different way, so I tried doing that and choosing to get a
verification code by text via my phone. However, I was told that the option
was unavailable because there were stronger ways of signing in, and it
basically took me back to getting the message from the actual Google app.

Oh, I also tried signing into Google using Safari, and it gave me the same
message about opening the Google app and tapping on something in that
message.

So basically, I'm not able to sign into any of my Google apps on my new
phone because of this two-step process. I wouldn't mind the process, but I
need to actually get into what they want.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help or advice.

Jim

Does anyone use OoTunes

[Jim Portillo]

Howdy,
Does anyone still use the OoTunes radio app? I still like it but ran into a 
problem.
I upgraded to a new phone a week ago today! Wow! Anyway, for some reason, I 
thought my settings and things like favorite stations and such would transfer 
over, but they didn’t. Yet, I remember that when my iPad got set up, it had the 
same stations. Anyway, does anyone know why this is? I basically have to redo 
my whole app because no settings got transferred, unless I can somehow get the 
settings from my iPad. Any ideas?

RE: Tracking distance walked

[Jim Portillo]

On a holster on my hip, or sometimes in my pocket.

I was bummed because there was a weekend where I had gone on vacation 
somewhere, and my apple watch wasn’t working for some reason, but my phone was. 
I had walked about a million steps during those couple days, but they never 
registered.

RE: Apple Watch face input wanted

[Jim Portillo]

Does anyone know the default face? I was having issues with one of the faces at 
one time and after all the playing around I did, I realized that the default 
one worked fine for what I needed. Now, I can't find it or don't remember what 
it is.

I used to use the Modular, but ever since Apple added the Infograph I have been 
using it as it offers the most complications.
Of course you could use 2 or 3 watch faces and arrange them so that the main 
one is in the middle and you either swipe left or right to get to the other two 
which could be set up for more specific things like Health/workout or home 
automation, but I prefer to have most of what I want on one complication which 
for me includes of course the time, sunrise/sunset, battery status, heart rate, 
the workout app and a few other apps like Apple Home and the one for my store's 
alarm system.

Re: Apple Watch no longer speaks or makes sounds

[Jim Portillo]

Malcolm,
Thank you very much. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to try and do a 
hard reset on the watch. I think that is what it is called. Anyway, it worked 
like a charm.
Thanks again.

Apple Watch no longer speaks or makes sounds

[Jim Portillo]

Hello everyone,
I’ve never had problems with my Apple Watch, but yesterday, in the middle of 
the afternoon, I felt it do some kind of hectic thing on my wrist. I thought 
perhaps I was getting a text or mail or some thing, so I checked it. It no 
longer spoke nor made any kind of noise.
 I know it still works because it still vibrates, but there’s no way of fixing 
it.  I don’t know if it is VoiceOver or something else. I went to my settings 
and messed with that, but nothing different happened. Line does anyone have any 
idea of what could be happening? The battery is completely charged, and it 
still does not speak or make any noise.
Thanks

Braille screen input is definitely flaky in this iOS release. I have a similar 
experience to what you describe where suddenly bsi will just turn itself off in 
the middle of brailling. Also it seems I can't use tabletop mode at all. The 
letters just will not form correctly.

Well, there is one other thing that I've been told about now.

For some weird reason, sometimes, calls I receive don't register. Several times 
during convention, and again yesterday, people have told me that they tried 
calling me but that it went to voicemail. Most of the time, I don't even hear 
the phone ring, and the actual call doesn't register.

Now yesterday, I did hear someone try calling me but when I tried answering, it 
was as though nobody was calling. Very strange stuff going on. And, it doesn’t 
happen with all calls. I haven’t messed with any settings that I know of, and I 
have been using my phone as I always do. Very strange.

Good morning,

For a few weeks now, I have been dealing with a very annoying issue on my 
phone. When I do something like swipe or other Voiceover gestures with my 
finger, things start out OK, but after a few instances, there is a sort of jump 
or crash that takes me one layer back or to the very top of where I started, 
and I need to start over again. It is annoying when I’m looking at something 
like a website or Social Media and then the jump happens.

Also, when I input text using Braille mode, I won’t get more than two sentences 
into what I’m writing, and then it jumps and changes modes, making me need to 
go back to the rotar and go back to Braille mode. 

I don’t think that speed has much to do with what’s going on, but I’ve tried 
slowing down, which doesn’t always work for me. I just know that something’s 
got to give because this continuous jumping around or going back a page or 
layer doesn’t make me productive at all!

Has this happened to anyone else? What might be happening here, and what can I 
try to fix it? I’ve not seen this behavior until a few weeks ago.

RE: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

Hi there,

It is not part of the case. It is glued to the phone.

Like I’ve said, I’d be surprised if it is the screen protector. I remember 
getting it as soon as I got the phone, and I’ve never had issues with it. I 
keep things clean, and if a cleaning needs to happen, I take care of it right 
away.

Hi Jim,

 

This may not be the issue, but what type of screen protector do you have? Is it 
part of a case, or is it glued onto the iPhone screen? The reason I am asking 
is because I have  a friend who had the issue you are describing, and her 
screen protector was part of the case. When I took the case apart, yikes! was 
there a mess under it. It was sticky and dusty. Once I cleaned it up and put it 
back together, it worked.

 

Good Luck!

Two things, Have you cleaned your screen lately and do you use a screen

A dirty screen can have all sorts of weird effects and if you have screen 
protector which is maybe not very good any more can also have negative effects.

Yes sir. I have cleaned my screen a couple times, because I don’t like having 
dirty hands when I use my phone. I know it happens, so I try and keep it clean. 
I believe I’m using a screen protecter, but I’d have to check. I’ve had this 
phone for about four years, so I honestly don’t remember. 

Two things, Have you cleaned your screen lately and do you use a screen 
protector?

A dirty screen can have all sorts of weird effects and if you have screen 
protector which is maybe not very good any more can also have negative effects.

Subject: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

 

Good morning,

For a few weeks now, I have been dealing with a very annoying issue on my 
phone. When I do something like swipe or other Voiceover gestures with my 
finger, things start out OK, but after a few instances, there is a sort of jump 
or crash that takes me one layer back or to the very top of where I started, 
and I need to start over again. It is annoying when I’m looking at something 
like a website or Social Media and then the jump happens.

Also, when I input text using Braille mode, I won’t get more than two sentences 
into what I’m writing, and then it jumps and changes modes, making me need to 
go back to the rotar and go back to Braille mode. 

I don’t think that speed has much to do with what’s going on, but I’ve tried 
slowing down, which doesn’t always work for me. I just know that something’s 
got to give because this continuous jumping around or going back a page or 
layer doesn’t make me productive at all!

Has this happened to anyone else? What might be happening here, and what can I 
try to fix it? I’ve not seen this behavior until a few weeks ago.

Jim

RE: iPhone not responding well to my touch gestures

[Jim Portillo]

Yeah, this does have a screen protector. I’ve never had issues like these in 
the past. And, I keep my phone in a holster, and when I have it out, I am 
fairly careful. It’s rare that it takes any kind of fall or gets hit by 
anything. That is why I’m surprised at the latest goings on.

A well-applied glass screen protector has no negative effect on touch screen 
sensitivity. You must be more careful than me with your phone, I have a very 
nice leather belt holster which keeps my phone nice and safe when it's in it, 
but I use my phone in all sorts of situations from when I am sitting on the 
couch or at my desk to while I am walking or working in the garden or my 
woodworking shop. Just this morning I went outside to the backyard while I was 
holding my iPhone and I misjudged the distance to the first step down from the 
deck and briefly lost my balance and my iPhone went flying. My deck is about 5 
feet off the ground and I was holding it at railing height which is about 3 and 
a half feet so it had a nice 8 foot or so drop onto concrete. Fortunately it 
was lying on its back, but in a situation like that a good glass scren 
protector can totally make the difference between having a broken screen or 
not. I also have it in a relatively slim, but well made and drop-tested case so 
it did not seem to come to any harm and at least as far as I can tell there 
isn't a scratch on it. Glass screen protectors are quite inexpensive on Amazon 
so I will definitely not go without and if it ends  up not sitting perfectly on 
the screen any more I can simply replace it.

I have never used a screen protector because I keep my phone in a shoulder bag 
my wife custom made for it so it isn't banging against things in my pocket etc.

Screen protectors can cause the lack of sensitivity you are describing.

Regarding updating a contact

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,

A few times now, when I’ve gone into the Messages app to text someone, I will 
sometimes get the notification that the person has a new or updated name or 
picture. I am told I could activate it, and I figure that by double-tapping 
with one finger, it will either update or give me the choice to update. Nothing 
really happens when I do that. Am I missing something, or does it automatically 
update my contact somehow?

I have no idea if I’m making sense. If not, I apologize. 

Jim

Worry About iPhone and Radio Streaming

[Jim Portillo]

Hi everyone,
Here's something I've begun noticing over the past three days
regarding my phone, and it concerns me.
When I try streaming different radio stations, my phone starts out
doing fine, but then it either pauses the streaming for a bit or it
completely stops as though it loses connection or something.
I've tried it with the OoTunes app first. Then, I went to TuneIn and
tried streaming a couple different stations and get similar results.
Right now, I am streaming one that isn't doing the pausing as much,
but it is still doing it some. It just did it as I typed about it.

I've tried this same streaming experiment on my iPad and don't seem to
have any issues there.
Any idea what could be happening on my phone?
I don't know if I could stream radio stations on my watch, as I've not
tried it. Again, so far, this has been with stations on both Ootunes
and TuneIn.
Pretty weird!
Jim

A song and a playlist

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,
Recently, I was sent an email, and there was a particular song attached that I 
had requested from somebody. It is in the M4a format.
I would like to find a way of adding this particular song to a playlist I have 
in my Apple music app. Is there a way of easily doing this directly from my 
phone?
I tried saving it to my phone, but I really didn’t know where to save it. I 
would definitely like this particular song in my playlist, and I don’t believe 
it is in Apple Music itself.
Any suggestions??
Jim

RE: Regarding Audio Playing When I Don't Want

[Jim Portillo]

Thanks Sieghard and Julian for these good suggestions,
Believe it or not, the famous Magic Tap doesn't always do the trick either, 
which is why I resort to going back to the app. But, yes, you are right that 
that gesture does a lot, and I use it quite often!
I guess I will have to write Accessibility, as you mentioned.
Thanks again!
Jim

Hi Jim,

You should be able to stop playback with a 2-finger double tap and there should 
be no need to remember what app you many have to open to stop it.
But yes, I have had this problem even in iOS 15 especially when using the 
2-finger double tap magic tap) to start/stop dictation. This gesture is 
supposed to do quite a few different things depending on the context, e.g. if 
the phone rings it should pick up the call, if music is playing it should stop 
playback, if you are in an edit field it should start dictation and as you are 
dictating it should stop dicatation. It seems to be a bit like iOS is confused 
as to what the gesture should do inb certain situations which is why instead of 
stopping dictation it starts playback.
You need to write to accessibil...@apple.com and report this so they can start 
figuring out how to fix this.


Best regards,
Sieghard

Greetings,
This has been an issue that has been happening for a little while, but it is really beginning to annoy me. I’m not quite sure how to describe it.
I listen to music with the Apple music app. I also have the OoTunes radio app and listen to stations there, along with other radio apps. When I’m done with whatever radio or music app I’m using, I’ll stop whatever is playing and close the
 app.
I could be doing something else on my phone, or maybe even just accidentally bumping the phone, and suddenly, the music or radio from the app comes back up playing. It is really annoying because since the app is technically closed, I have
 to remember which app it is, open it, stop whatever is playing and close down the app again.
Sometimes, I might be in an app where I may want to dictate something, and if I do a two finger double-tap, the music or radio app might sometimes come up again.
I’ve noticed it happening more lately.
Any idea what could be going on and how I can keep these apps from coming up at any time
This seems to happen when I’m the most careful. 

Thanks.
Jim

Re: Regarding Audio Playing When I Don't Want

[Jim Portillo]

I have tried that several times. It sometimes works and sometimes does not. That is why I have to actually go into the app and stop or close it in order for it to completely stop playing.Sent from my iPhone 12!On Oct 24, 2022, at 6:38 PM, Christopher Chaltain  wrote:

Greetings,
This has been an issue that has been happening for a little while, but it is really beginning to annoy me. I’m not quite sure how to describe it.
I listen to music with the Apple music app. I also have the OoTunes radio app and listen to stations there, along with other radio apps. When I’m done with whatever radio or music app I’m using, I’ll stop whatever is playing and close the
 app.
I could be doing something else on my phone, or maybe even just accidentally bumping the phone, and suddenly, the music or radio from the app comes back up playing. It is really annoying because since the app is technically closed, I have
 to remember which app it is, open it, stop whatever is playing and close down the app again.
Sometimes, I might be in an app where I may want to dictate something, and if I do a two finger double-tap, the music or radio app might sometimes come up again.
I’ve noticed it happening more lately.
Any idea what could be going on and how I can keep these apps from coming up at any time
This seems to happen when I’m the most careful.

Telegram Messaging App

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning everyone,

 

Recently, someone mentioned something to me called Telegram. From what I’ve 
read, it is some sort of Messaging service. Has anyone used it, or could anyone 
give me more information about it?

I’m a bit concerned about its accessibility with VoiceOver. I tried going into 
it and creating what I thought might be an account, and it really didn’t read 
things very well. At one point, I figured that there was a box where one 
entered a phone number. It was a bit clumsy after that, but I think I created 
an account or whatever it’s called.

Now, I need to know how and why to use it.  

Thanks much.

Jim

Any thoughts on the iPhone 14 or 14 Pro?

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning, everyone -

 

I'm seriously considering taking advantage of upgrading my phone. I have the
iPhone 12, which is paid for, free and clear. However, there are a few
issues I'm finding a bit disconcerting with the phone these days. Since I
have the opportunity to at least look at upgrading, I might do that.

I'm with AT

Does anyone have thoughts on either the iPhone 14 or 14 pro? For those who
have either phone, how do you like them?

I've never really had issues with any of my phones, and I hope to continue
this streak if I do upgrade.

Also, I'm wondering what is better. Should I go through the Apple Store and
get a trade-in, or should I go through my carrier? I'm still doing all of
the necessary research.

Anyway, thanks for any info you could give me on advantages or disadvantages
of the new iPhone 14.

Jim

Dealing with QR Codes

[Jim Portillo]

Good evening,
I was recently in a couple situations where friends asked if I could deal with 
QR codes when it came to things like reading restaurant menus. I guess more and 
more places are going that way, where people can see the menus by activating a 
QR code.
As many years as I’ve owned an iPhone, I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve never 
played or dealt with QR codes and was wondering from you guys how easy or 
accessible they were.
What would be a good QR code app? Would I just use my camera, or are there 
better ways and apps?
I’m going on vacation in a few days and from what I understand, a few of the 
places I’ll be eating at have these sorts of menus
Frankly, it’s probably good that I learn more about using QR codes anyway.
Recommendations?
Jim

A concern about iPhone 12 and battery

[Jim Portillo]

Greetings,
I have noticed lately that the battery on my iPhone 12 seems to hold a charge 
for less period of time than before. I realize that I use my phone a lot, but 
it seems as though I have to charge it much more than before. I don’t use any 
new apps that would take up a lot of battery, and I close the apps that I 
frequently use. Also, I noticed that there are more times these days where my 
phone gets warm, we are as I don’t think I have noticed that before. There are 
times when it actually gets hot.
Should I be concerned with more charges, and the battery going down faster than 
before? Should I be concerned regarding the warmth or heat of my phone at times?
My iPhone is right at two years old. I got it October, 2020. I definitely 
qualify for an upgrade now, and I am wondering if this might be a sign to look 
at something new.
I am going on vacation next week, and I want my phone to behave and keep a 
battery charge for a while. I don’t want to go from 100% charge in the morning 
to less than 30% charge f five or six hours later, when the phone is hardly 
being used. This is not normal for me.
Any thoughts?
Jim

Question about audio text messages

[Jim Portillo]

Greetings,

I have a question about recording audio in the messages app. I was in the 
Messages app and wanted to record an audio text message to someone. I recorded 
the audio, which was two minutes and 38 seconds. I listened to it and then hit 
send. I looked back a little while after, and there is no sign that anything 
got sent. What might’ve happened? Or, did it get sent and I just won’t know? It 
was fairly important.
Thank you much.

Syncing Contacts from Facebook?

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,

I am trying to do something, but everything I've tried or googled doesn't
seem to work and always tells me the same thing. I'm wondering if I will be
able to do it or if it will no longer work because I have a much later IOS
version than 10. Even the very latest things I read on Google tell me almost
the exact same thing, but I get no results from the get-go in looking at the
settings app.

I would like to sync my Facebook contacts with my iPhone contacts. I'd like
to sync the photos and pertinent information for them.

Everything I've googled tells me to make sure I'm logged into my Facebook
app (which I am), go to settings, and under facebook, look for the "Update
all Contacts" or something to that effect, once I have the app enabled to
access contacts and calendars. Well, I have that option enabled, but I don't
see anything that tells me I can update the contacts. 

Then, it tells me that I can use a third party app as an alternative to also
do what I want. But, the apps they mention are either outdated or don't let
me get far. It kept talking about one called Sync.me and another one called
FaceSync, but that second one won't work past IOS 10. I used to use a great
one called GoSync. 

This isn't a huge deal, I guess. I just remember being able to do this back
in the day and wanted the ability to do it again. It's been a couple of
iPhones since I've done it.;

Any ideas?

Jim

Screen Shots please

Hi there,

I'm kind of in need of a quick answer of how one takes a screenshot on the
iPhone. I just can't remember and need to have it done. I tried the volume
up/down together, and that didn't work or the volume keys and the side key,
and that didn't work either. Any help is appreciated.

RE: Identifying labels when making a contact

[Jim Portillo]

Agreed, Richard. And now, you’ve got a personal cell, a work cell, etc.

Recently, they did away with our actual office phones and are making us do this 
new telephone thing via our computers using Teams. And, it will forward to our 
work cell phones as well.

I actually still have a land line, only because it wasn’t going to cost extra 
to keep it or save me any money to get rid of it. Go figure. I get both my land 
line and internet through my phone company.

Sadly Sieghard, too many times these days Work phones and home phones are cell 
phones.  Fewer and fewer of our friends are keeping a landline, and their work 
phone is often a cell phone also.  That was true for me before I retired.  We 
have kept our landline because I don’t want to be in a bind and find the cell 
service is down or the battery is down, etc.

Subject: RE: Identifying labels when making a contact

 

It also depends on which method you use for your Contacts, e.g. iCloud, 
Outlook.com, Exchange, Gmail etc.

Yes, there are some labels which appear outdated as Richard said, but I don't 
think I ever encountered the issue that when I shared a Contact with somebody 
that the label was changed and in my opinion they are important especially if 
you have multiple numbers for a contact, e.g. Work, Mobile, Home etc. 

I do also agree with what Richard said about Apple not having paid much 
attention to this and neither has Apple been paying attention to the phone app. 
For as long as I have an iPhone which now is 12 years or so I wish that you 
could filter your recent calls not only by "All" and "Missed", but also by 
"Incoming", "Outgoing" and by a custom search filter, e.g. you type in a 
particular name or phone number and see only the calls from that person/number. 
Furthermore I wish that if one would then choose to select all and delete, that 
only the visible results would be deleted. Currently you can either delete 
individual calls or you can completely clear your recent calls list, it makes 
no difference if you choose to show only missed calls and then select to clear 
them, it still clears the entire call list.

I have put this in as a suggestion a few times over the years, but apparently I 
am the only one who would find this useful and it would probably not be very 
difficult for Apple to implemenbt this.

 

As for the labels there is one other issue which bugs me a lot and that is the 
following scenario:

 

1. Assume you have a contact called John Smith and you have a work phone, home 
phone, a fax number and a mobile number for that person

2. I now say to SIRI "Message John Smith" and I am not specifying "mobile"

3. SIRI will ask "Which of these should I use for John Smith, work phone, home 
phone, fax number or mobile"

 

It is of course completely ridiculous why SIRI should ask this because you 
typically can't send a text message to a landline, e.g. work or home phone and 
you definitely can't send a text message to a fax number.

And if you also have an email address added to the contact, e.g. 
johnsm...@gmail.com  , SIRI often also includes 
this in the list. Of course I can still understand it since if somebody has 
iMessage enabled you can send an iMessage to their email address, then at best 
it should ask if you want to use "Mobile or email". It's just another way where 
SIRI falls short of what it should be after 11 years of being around.

At least it seems Apple has finally made SIRI smart enough where you can add a 
Contact with just a company name in the Company name field, e.g. Apple 
Accessibility, and then say "Call Apple Accessibility". Until maybe last year 
you always had to also add the company name either in the first name or last 
name field if you wanted to ask SIRI to call it or else it would not find it.

The Contact labels are a joke, and have been a joke for as long as I have had 
an iPhone. 

when was the last time you knew someone with a Radio phone, or a car phone, or

RE: the Instant Pot bluetooth app works again.

I hate to bring this up again, but I wonder if the app is no longer updateable 
again.
I tried updating the app two different days, and both days, it said that the 
app couldn't connect to the app store. I have a Done buttor or a Retry button. 
Of course, I also have the back button to go back to My Account. The last 
update it had was July 7th.
I've been looking forward to getting this working again!

Question about Instant Pot and iPhone

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,

 

I hope this is a good list to ask this question.

A few years ago, I got one of the first Smart Instant Pots that hooked up to
the iPhone via Bluetooth. It worked well, and while I could use it to some
extent with just the buttons, I found that being able to use it with my
phone really helped and made it easier to take advantage of its
capabilities.

Since I upgraded to my iPhone 12, I found that my Instant Pot doesn't
connect to my phone. I thought I had to re-pair it via the app, and when I
tried going that direction, either my phone or the Instant Pot didn't seem
to recognize one another. If there is some recognition, it is only for an
instant, and then it goes away and I can't use the Instant Pot with the
phone.

I'm wondering what you think could be wrong, or if I should get one of the
newer ones.

I like being able to use it and set the temperatures with ease without
having to memorize and count and do all of those extra things.

This is still in good condition, except for the Bluetooth capabilities.

What are people using now? What do you guys think about the newer Smart
Instant Pots? How accessible are they? Are they worth it?

I'd like to read your thoughts before I make any decisions.

Jim

I've been looking for something like that as well, as I absolutely loved the

I don't know much about the 780.
I wonder if it's as light and portable as the k810-811.

Actually the K810 and K811 are basically the same keyboards except that the 
K810 is set up as a Windows keyboard and the K811 was optimized for Mac OS and 
iOS.
I don't think there is always a direct successor for such items, both the K810 
and K811 I believe were able to be used with only one device, I still have a 
K811 in a drawer somewhere, but since I am now using a Logitech K780 which can 
do up to 3 devices I haven't used it in a long time. The other nice thing about 
the K780 (and I think a few other Logitech models do this) is that it has a USB 
dongle so you can use it even if your Windows computer doesn't have Bluetooth. 
I however recommend to use the dongle even if your laptop has Bluetooth as it 
is noticeable more responsive when typing then Bluetooth.

iPhone sanitizer

[Jim Portillo]

Good evening,

Has anyone used or does anyone currently use one of those UV Phone
sanitizers? I know they sell them at Staples, and someone wants to get me
one as a gift, but I wonder how well they work and if a blind person will be
able to use them.

Are there alternatives to the Staples ones that maybe talk or give audible
feedback?

Wondering about wireless charging

[Jim Portillo]

Hi there,

I have the new iPhone 12, and since I know the newer phones have wireless
charging, I got a magnetic charger for it.

The question is whether I need a special case for it. Otherwise, I have to
take it out of my case whenever I want to put it on that particular charger.
If so, what sort of case should I get? I have a very lightweight one that
prevents skids and is more compact and lighter than say an Otterbox.

Thanks.

Jim

Amazon Kindle books and best way to read

[Jim Portillo]

  Greetings,

 

I was gifted an eBook that someone really wants me to read. It's an Amazon
Kindle book. I seem to remember JAWS not doing well with such books a while
back, but I don't know if it has improved. What about on the iPhone? Is that
any better?

If anyone has any advice on how to best read this eBook, please share your
ideas.

Thanks much.

Jim

Making sure about specific backups

[Jim Portillo]

Hi everyone,

Here's the deal. I'm about to upgrade to the new iPhone 12; however, I have
an issue. I'm using Downcast right now for my podcasts, which I have not
finished listening to yet. It would take me a while to finish, so I want to
make sure they are backed up.

When this happened a few years ago, I thought things had backed up from
Downcast, but they hadn't. How do I make sure about this before the upgrade?
Are there specific settings that will actually redownload my specific
podcasts?

The general stuff is turned on, but I'm skeptical!

If anyone knows, please share.

Jim

Creating email folders within the iPhone

[Jim Portillo]

Hello,

I was asked the following question and cannot seem to find it; although I
remember doing this years ago!

How does one create folders within one's email account on the iPhone? This
person would like to move certain messages he gets into the created folder.

He's using the native mail app on his phone with an iCloud account.

I have been hunting and hunting and can't seem to find the answer.

Anyone know?

Jim

Voicemail issue

[Jim Portillo]

I have absolutely no idea what happened, but when I updated my phone plan or
maybe when I updated my IOS version, my voicemail and mailbox got messed up,
and now I need to set it up again.

The problem is this.  I go to the setup button and it asks for a password.
In  the past, I've had a four digit password I've used, and when I've tried
entering it and hit the "done" button, it tells me that the particular
button is dimmed. I don't know how to proceed because it doesn't let me. Do
I need a larger numbered password or something different?

Can I set it up differently or from some place else?

I'm going to have the same issue when I get my 12 in a few days, but people
aren't able to leave me voice mails right now.

 

Jim

Should I be worried about my iPhone's connection

[Jim Portillo]

Hi. I don't know if I should be worried or not regarding my phone's
connection.

Two quick incidents.

When I'm on the Facebook app, I often get a message I've not seen before. It
says the following.

"You can still post comments while offline."

 

Also, for the past several days, when trying to use AIRA anywhere, I get
very spotty connections! I either lose calls or agents tell me the video
freezes. I don't know if it's my phone or AIRA. 

I don't think I've had trouble streaming things, so maybe it's not a
connection issue, but I figured I'd ask the experts!

Inquiring about the new iWatch

[Jim Portillo]

Hi there,

 

I'd like some thoughts from anyone who has the newest Apple watch.  I'm
seriously thinking about upgrading from my current series 3.  Aside from
that, I've been having trouble upgrading to the latest watch version, which
makes me think I should upgrade anyway.

What do people like about the newer watch, and what are some of the
advantages to upgrading?  What are some disadvantages or things you've found
don't work well yet?  Is it worth the upgrade? What about VoiceOver and
accessibility issues or glitches?

I know I can get some money for my current watch and use it toward a
trade-in.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Jim

 Christine,
 
 I’m taking spanish on duolingo as well. What I did was install the spanish 
 keyboard on the iPhone. Now whenever spanish is required for entry, the 
 phone shows the spanish keyboard rather than the english one. If you are 
 entering on the onscreen keyboard, I believe you still have to use the 
 hold and slide method that others have described. However, if you are 
 using a bluetooth keyboard. There are dedicated keys for entering accents 
 and the n with tilda. 
 
 The n tilde is the key to the right of the semicolon and the acute accent 
 is the next key to the right of that one.

RE: apple music

[Jim Portillo]

Hi there.

I have a related question for anyone who might know.

I have a couple of albums on my phone which I downloaded from either iTunes or 
Apple Music. 

Recently, I purchased an album download from an artist, and that particular 
album was not on iTunes or Apple Music. I bought it from his website, and he 
gave me the link to download the album’s mp3s.

I’d like that album on my phone and in my music with my other albums.  Is this 
doable?  If so, how?

Thank you.

Garage Band Tutorials?

[Jim Portillo]

Hi there,

I've got an iPhone XR, and I know it has Garage Band on it.  I'm looking for
any possible tutorials that can help me get started using it.  Does anyone
know of any and where I can find them?

I couldn't find any on AppleVis, but maybe I didn't see any at this time.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Jim

Re: Logictech K380 question

[Jim Portillo]

Hi Richard,
Use one of the first three function keys.  Press one of those keys for a couple 
of seconds, and then things should be recognized by the phone or apple device. 
Your client will have to type a code on the keyboard and hit enter, and then it 
will be paired.
Hope this helps.
Jim

What have I done to my iPhone?

[Jim Portillo]

Hi there,

I don’t know what I did, but my iPhone will no longer allow me to type when 
using a Bluetooth keyboard. I have two different ones paired, and both give me 
the same reactions. I can navigate with the keyboard just fine, but when I try 
and start typing, I get some sort of beep. I think I may have locked some kind 
of setting on the phone that is making the keyboard only act in a certain way. 
Does anyone have any idea what I might’ve done and how I can correct? Whatever 
I did, it was definitely accidental.

Does anyone use the ABC Group app

[Jim Portillo]

Good evening,
I just learned about the ABC group app and downloaded.  I’m creating groups, 
and love the ability to have groups I can text.  Here’s a question though.  Is 
there a way for the group of people that I created not to see one another’s 
phone numbers when I text them?  Or, if I use the option of using first and 
last names in place of phone numbers, will they see them as well?  Still 
figuring everything out here.

iPhone and speaker

[Jim Portillo]

Good afternoon,

I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy.
Could someone verify for me that iPhones can naturally go from hand
held to speaker?  In other words, if I'm holding it up to my ear,
can't I automatically put it down and it will automatically go to
speaker mode?
I've been looking at settings and can't really find anything.  And, as
long as I have had an iPhone, I don't remember needing to set this
feature.  Any help would be appreciated.
Jim

Re: Keyboard is locked!

[Jim Portillo]

Thanks, Richard.  It ended up not being sticky keys.  It was the Modifier keys 
being locked.  I had no idea what to do, but I accidentally pressed something 
which unlocked it.  This has been a weird experience, because it was an iPhone 
setting.  I say that because I tried using another external keyboard with the 
same results.  Now, things seem to be working OK with the modifier keys being 
unlocked.

Keyboard is locked!

[Jim Portillo]

Hi there,

I don’t know what I did today, but while using my Bluetooth keyboard on my 
iPhone, I somehow locked it. It said something about sticky keys being locked. 
I’ve tried everything I know to do, but I don’t know how to unlock it and can 
no longer use my keyboard on my phone without it doing weird things. Any ideas?

Jim

everyone else at the same time if I watch it on the iPhone using the app?

Possible help with streaming via Safari

[Jim Portillo]

Greetings,

This list has always been of great help, so I hope you can help me problem 
solve something.
I’m trying to stream a station that is not available through the popular apps, 
such as TuneIn or OoTunes.  It’s a particular kind of station that is online or 
on the air in its original city.
When I go to it in Safari, I’m able to get all the way to where I can 
double-tab on the icon to stream the station.  It takes me there, but no sound 
comes out.  I know the station works because I can stream it via the computer.
If I remember right, something similar happened with something else I was 
trying to stream via Safari.  Is there some sort of setting I should be using?  
I did go to the Safari settings but couldn’t find anything to help me with this 
issue.
Oh, I also did try using the actual google app to find the particular station, 
but it went through safari anyway and still wouldn’t actually produce sound 
from the station.  I do know it loads the station itself because the play list 
comes up.
If anyone has any suggestions, please send them my way.  I’d appreciate it.
Thanks.
Jim Portillo

Questions regarding a recent upgrade

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,
I took the plunge and upgraded from my iPhone 7 to an iPhone XR, and I already 
see the difference.  Also, the sound is much better than what I was getting the 
past few months.
However, I have some questions that were unclear.
I noticed last night that my watch didn’t seem to pair with my phone; although, 
my watch is still receiving texts and calls, but it seems to be doing it 
independently of my phone.  There are certain things I wanted to do with my 
watch this morning that required using my phone.  Anyway, do I need to re-pair? 
 When I tried doing it manually it was asking for me to go to the Info button 
on my watch to find the device name.  Of course, I tried looking for it and 
couldn’t find it anywhere in settings or anywhere else.  Any idea what I need 
to do there?

Also, I have Downcast loaded and running, but nothing was restored! I lost 
several podcasts now, and I thought it was synched to iCloud.  Not fun.
Finally, both TuneIn and OOTunes radio didn’t seem to remember my most recent 
listen to stations.  
I can’t complain too much, because most of everything looks the same, but I 
guess I was under the impression I’d get everything back if it was backed up to 
the cloud.
Did I do something rong?
At this point, I’d like to make sure my watch and phone are talking to one 
another again.  Do I need to completely remove the watch from the account and 
then re-set it, or is there an easier way?
Thanks much for any help.
I do like the new phone!
Jim

Downcast podcasts

[Jim Portillo]

Hello,

I am about to update phones, and I have several podcasts in the downcast app 
that I still have not heard. Is there anyway I can get those podcasts either 
download it directly to my phone, or put on the cloud for later retrieval? What 
about somehow directly downloading them to my computer? I have iCloud syncing 
turned on, but I’m not exactly sure what that will do in downcast.

Problem with certain sounds

[Jim Portillo]

Howdy,

I currently have an iPhone 7, and it's worked well since I first got
it 2.5 years ago.  However, lately, I seem to be having an issue with
some of the sounds.  I notice the ringer sound volume gets turned down
a lot, and I'm not one who normally plays with the sound volume of
something.  I always go into the sound settings and find it is set
much lower than what I want.
Second, the email and message sounds are quite low.  I figured I could
simply fix that by also going to the sound settings and put everything
at 100%.  Something's still not right.
Any idea what could be going on?
Thanks.
Jim

iPhone and Facebook messenger

[Jim Portillo]

Howdy everyone,
First and foremost, Merry Christmas!
I wonder if anyone knows about Facebook Messenger.  I want to send a
message to a group of people that I know have Facebook Messenger.
However, I don't want all of the names or information of the people to
appear.  Can one do what might be considered a Blind Carbon Copy in a
message?  If anyone knows, I'd appreciate knowing.
Thanks.
Jim

Different VoiceOver Voices for Apple Watch 3?

[Jim Portillo]

Howdy!

Does anyone know if the VO voice can be changed on the Apple Watch
series 3?  I've been going through the settings area on both the watch
and phone and can't seem to find a way.  If there's only that default
voice, then so be it.  I just wanted to see if this was doable.
Your wealth of knowledge is fantastic!

Copying from DropBox to Camera Roll or Photos

[Jim Portillo]

Howdy,

I have a video in my DropBox folder which I'd like to get to my
iPhone.  It wasn't recorded on my iPhone, but I figured it would be
easier to take a clip from that video once it's on my phone.  I'm not
exactly sure how to copy the video from DropBox to my phone.  Does
anyone have a good and easy way?
Thanks much.

Working with videos on an iPhone 7?

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,
I tried sending a message to the list yesterday but don’t know if it got there, 
so I thought I’d ask again.

Two days ago, I had someone video record something on my iPhone 7.  Now, I’d 
like to see if I can go into the video, take a clip or two from it, and be able 
to post it on Youtube or Facebook.
The entire video is too long, but if I can find a way of taking some parts, 
that would be great.
What app might be useful for this job?  Does anyone have experience in doing 
something like this, and if so, might you be willing to give me some advice or 
assistance?
Thanks very much.
Jim Portillo

What is the best and most accessible way to edit a video?

[Jim Portillo]

Hello,

Yesterday, I videoed something using my phone. Now, I’d like to find an 
accessible way to edit it on my phone.  The goal would be to take a clip from 
the video, starting it somewhere in the middle and ending a few minutes later, 
and then making that clip into a video I can post to YouTube.
What app can I use that will do this easily for me?  Will something like iMovie 
work?  
If you have ideas or suggestions, please let me know both what to use and how 
to go about doing it.
Thanks so much!
Jim

Re: Transitioning to Overcast from Downcast

[Jim Portillo]

I also decided to give this app a go, but it seems that I’m having issues when 
it comes to importing.
I went to Import from App, and the first option I got was to import from 
Downcast.  I tapped on it and it opened Downcast, but then I don’t know what 
was supposed to happen.  I just got to Downcast.
Is it supposed to let me know it was importing?  
I did go back to the Overcase app, and I just got the same menu as before, with 
the option of importing from another app.
I must be missing a step somewhere.

Advice on taking good pictures when totally blind?

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning everyone,

This seems to be a great resource with several folks who can advise me well.
I'm going to be taking a vacation that I've been planning for a while.
As with all vacations, people enjoy taking and looking at pictures to
share with others.  I've got an iPhone 7 with the latest IOS, and I'm
totally blind.
Are there good ways or methods for taking decent pictures or selfies
without always having to ask a sighted person to do it for you?
Much of the time, I'll be with other blind people as well.
Any good tips or resources for taking pictures would be much
appreciated. Can one just use the general camera app or is there a
better app for that?
Thanks.
Jim

Best way to transfer a video

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,

 

I have a question about the best way to go about doing a transfer.

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine used her iPhone to video record an event
for another of our friends.  Now, we need to find a way to somehow transfer
it from her iPhone on to a DVD.

I'm wondering if something like DropBox would be the best way to go.

If she doesn't have DropBox, I do, but there would be the issue of
transferring it to my phone and then me getting it up to DropBox.

 

Does anyone have an easier way of doing this transfer somewhat flawlessly?
My friend has limited knowledge about her phone, and she's asking me to walk
her through it, so I want to know what I'm doing so that the process is a
smooth one.

 

Any ideas would be great!

Jim

Questions about formatting and picture conversions using KNFB Reader app

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,

 

Two questions for you.

A few weeks ago, I was in a class where some handouts were being passed out.
A friend of mine took a picture of the handout he got using my KNFB reader
app.  He'd never seen the app before, and was a bit skeptical about
something that happened while taking the picture.  He said that the
formatting didn't look right or didn't look as it did on the actual handout.
Does the formatting need to be edited or something?

It read OK when I took it home.  So, when the picture is taken, does the
formatting change in some way?  How can I make sure the formatting is the
same?

 

Yesterday, I was in the same class, and my friend accidently used my camera
to take a picture of some papers handed out.

So, now I just have a picture.  I seriously doubt that KNFB reader would
convert such a picture, right?

 

I think that next time, I'll just get my own copies of handouts.  We just
thought we were taking advantage of my pone and the apps.  If anyone knows
how to convert a picture using KNFB reader, I'd love to know.

 

Thanks.

Jim

Questions regarding WhatsApp and general iPhone contact updates

[Jim Portillo]

Hi there,

 

I hope you'll bear with these questions, as I can't seem to figure out some
logical answers.  I know I've tried posting some of these before, but I
don't know if they were even seen or anything due to all of the questions
dealing with the new IOS 11 stuff.  I've not even gone there yet.

 

I'm trying to update my contacts on my iPhone.  I also recently got the
WhatsApp app as well and am trying to see how or if they sync together.

For some of my contacts, when I look at their info in the iPhone contacts
area, it will say something like "WhatsApp video."  Others won't say
anything, yet I know they're on WhatsApp when I look at the actual WhatsApp
app.  In the actual WhatsApp app, if I try to message someone and look at
the contacts I can message, I'll get messages letting me know they're
available or are using the app.  The ones that say "WhatsApp Video" on my
iPhone contacts list don't always show up in this other app.  Does this mean
that I can't just instant message or call the video contacts using WhatsApp?
For example, I know of one particular person who is on WhatsApp, but I can't
message him and yet, he's one of the ones that has the "WhatsApp Video"
message in my iPhone contacts.  What does "WhatsApp video" mean as opposed
to something else?  Have I totally confused you yet? :-) 

Also, why do some of my contacts actually tell me that their mobile phone is
an iPhone and others don't?  I can understand if they don't have iPhones,
but some of these folks actually do.

 

Finally, I am still at a loss as to why I can't update some of the contact
information using the Facebook feature.  I'm still going to iPhone settings,
going to the Facebook app, and double tapping on "Update all contacts".  I
get the message that progress is at 0 percent and then that 0 contacts have
been updated.  I can tell that no activity was going on.

In fact, if I decide to allow the iPhone contacts app to use the Facebook
account, meaning that I turn Contacts on, not too much happens.  I know, for
a fact, that not all of my Facebook contacts show up.  

Very strange issues trying to update and sync with my iPhone 7.

Anyone have any good answers for me?  I'm googling answers, but I get no
real answers that are helping me move forward.

Thanks.

Jim

Further questions on updating apps with Facebook and now Twitter

[Jim Portillo]

Hello,

I know I wrote yesterday asking questions about updating my Contacts
with Facebook.  I still don't think anything is happening.
I went to Settings, facebook, and then go to "Update all contacts" and
double tap on that.  It tells me that whether or not I allow Facebook
to allow the apps to use my accounts, photos and user names are
automatically updated for Facebook friends.  When I double tap on
that, it says that it's in progress, but right away, it tells me that
0 contacts have been updated.  I find it hard to believe because I've
added several friends to Facebook in the last while, and I know they
have information for updating to my contacts list.
I also tried doing a similar thing with twitter, by going to settings
and then to Twitter.  From there, I go to "update contacts" and double
tap on it, and I'm told "Couldn't update contacts" and "Couldn't
connect to Twitter. Try again later."  It's been doing this for quite
some time now and I wonder why.
What do I need to do with either my Contacts, or the Facebook and
Twitter apps so that they're working with one another to update?  And,
in the past, I never needed to allow Facebook to allow the apps to use
my account.
Thoughts would be appreciated.
Jim

Updating contact information from Facebook

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,

 

I wonder if anyone knows how to fix this problem.

I'm trying to update some of the information in my contacts list to include
their information from Facebook.  I currently don't have Facebook set to
look through all of my contacts; although, I thought that by temporarily
turning that feature on, my information would be updated.  Such was not the
case.

I have added friends from time to time, and I know they have profile
pictures, which I'd like to show up in my updated contacts information.

So, I went to iPhone settings, went to the Facebook apps setting, went to
"update all contacts", and double tapped on that.  For the longest time, it
just has been telling me "0 contacts updated."  I find it hard to believe
since I just added a couple of people as facebook friends.

It does the same thing if I allow facebook to actually access my contacts.

What's going on, and how can I fix this issue?  It used to work well for me
in the past.

Thoughts?

Jim

Contacting Uber?

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,

 

I'm wondering if anyone knows how one can directly contact Uber via email.
I use the Uber app on my iPhone all the time!  I keep being told that by
going to the help section in the app or website that I can contact them that
way or get my questions answered.  I've been going through all of the
sections since yesterday and can't seem to find what I'm seeking.  The help
section is great for general questions, but my question is specific that
needs a specific answer.

I know I used to be able to email them before, but I can't remember how or
where this is done.  If anyone can help me with specifics, that would be
fantastic!

Thanks much.

Jim

Pulling photos from Facebook for contacts

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,

 

Does anyone know how I can get the photos for people in my contacts list
from Facebook?  

Usually, it would be that Facebook would give me the option of updating my
contacts without having to have it actually access all my contacts all the
time.  It would be a onetime thing.

Now, when I add contacts to my list and know they're on Facebook, their
photos or information won't appear even if I use the update feature.  

Thoughts? Jim

Some emoticon questions in texts

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,

I have a question about using some emoticons, especially in texts.
I have the emoticon keyboard, and I see all the categories, such as smileys and 
such.  But, there are a few that are commonly used that I don't see, and 
dictating them doesn't seem to work.
For instance, where do I find the OK hand, or most importantly, the Thumbs-up 
sign?  Does anyone know about some of these commonly used ones?
Thanks.
Jim

Hi Jim,
Go into settings, general, accessibility, voiceover. Go down until it says

If not, you can put it back to whatever you have it set to now.

Hi Jim,
About your second question first, have you tried a three finger swipe up to 
scroll the list? I know you said left or right didn't work, but how about up?

As for your second question, it could be that there isn't any real text on that 
page. It might be graphics, images with text, in which case of course VoiceOver 
isn't going to read it. How do you have VoiceOver set to respond to graphics? 
If voiceover is set to read only images that have alt text, that could be the 
problem. So you could try sending it to read all images, and then see if 
something shows up which, well garbled and messy, because it will be the file 
name, might give you a hint. In that case, the solution is for the app 
developers to use real text instead of graphics.

Good morning everyone.

 

I tried sending this last night, but I don’t believe it got sent, so I’ll try 
again.  I’ll make it brief, but it’s something I’ve not encountered before on 
either the iPhone or iPad.

 

I recently downloaded an app from the Univision network called Univision Now.  
It’s a Spanish language TV app which not only allows you to watch the network 
live and local but also allows one to watch shows and series on demand.

You can use the app in a couple of different ways.  You can either sign up for 
an account and pay either monthly or yearly, or you can use your TV provider as 
a portal.  Mine is Dish, so it makes sense for me to sign into the app using my 
Dish information.

 

When I tried going to the area which asks me to select a TV provider, I tapped 
on it figuring I’d get a list of choices.  A totally blind VoiceOver user would 
swear that there is nothing like that; although, I did learn that visually, the 
list of choices does appear and that one can make such a choice if VoiceOver 
isn’t on.  

This is the first time I see that VoiceOver doesn’t read everything that’s on 
the screen, which is very misleading.

 

I had a friend of mine, who is sighted, help log me in on my iPad and iPhone.  
However, a few days later, while watching a show, the app stopped again and 
asked me to sign back in.  Of course, I went back to where the choice should be 
and still couldn’t have VoiceOver read the choice for the Dish button.

This is going to get old fast, because I don’t want to have to rely on a 
sighted person to always log me in.  What’s even worse is that when I choose 
the Dish Network button, my log-on information is already there, so this just 
acts as a verification.

 

So, my questions are these.

What might be going on with VoiceOver not reading these particular choices?

Is there a gesture or keyboard command I can use or haven’t been using that can 
expand the screen or read more information?

 

In fact, one more little issue is this.  When I tap on a series that contains 
several episodes, only a few of them show up on my iPhone screen before showing 
me the bottom tab with other choices.  On my iPad, I can find many more or even 
all of the episodes of that series.  Again, is there a way to expand a list on 
a screen?  I know it’s not on different pages, so a three finger swipe to the 
left won’t work.

 

Sorry for being so elaborate, but I wanted to make sure and explain what was 
going on.

I have written to Univision to let them know about the only inaccessible part 
of the App I’ve seen so far.  Of course, this is a new issue for them, so 
they’re unsure how to proceed.  I gave them suggestions.

But, if this is something I’m doing, then I don’t want to place undue blame on 
the app developer.

Thanks much.

Jim

scroll the list? I know you said left or right didn't work, but how about up?

As for your second question, it could be that there isn't any real text on that 
page. It might be graphics, images with text, in which case of course VoiceOver 
isn't going to read it. How do you have VoiceOver set to respond to graphics? 
If voiceover is set to read only images that have alt text, that could be the 
problem. So you could try sending it to read all images, and then see if 
something shows up which, well garbled and messy, because it will be the file 
name, might give you a hint. In that case, the solution is for the app 
developers to use real text instead of graphics.

Good morning everyone.

 

I tried sending this last night, but I don’t believe it got sent, so I’ll try 
again.  I’ll make it brief, but it’s something I’ve not encountered before on 
either the iPhone or iPad.

 

I recently downloaded an app from the Univision network called Univision Now.  
It’s a Spanish language TV app which not only allows you to watch the network 
live and local but also allows one to watch shows and series on demand.

You can use the app in a couple of different ways.  You can either sign up for 
an account and pay either monthly or yearly, or you can use your TV provider as 
a portal.  Mine is Dish, so it makes sense for me to sign into the app using my 
Dish information.

 

When I tried going to the area which asks me to select a TV provider, I tapped 
on it figuring I’d get a list of choices.  A totally blind VoiceOver user would 
swear that there is nothing like that; although, I did learn that visually, the 
list of choices does appear and that one can make such a choice if VoiceOver 
isn’t on.  

This is the first time I see that VoiceOver doesn’t read everything that’s on 
the screen, which is very misleading.

 

I had a friend of mine, who is sighted, help log me in on my iPad and iPhone.  
However, a few days later, while watching a show, the app stopped again and 
asked me to sign back in.  Of course, I went back to where the choice should be 
and still couldn’t have VoiceOver read the choice for the Dish button.

This is going to get old fast, because I don’t want to have to rely on a 
sighted person to always log me in.  What’s even worse is that when I choose 
the Dish Network button, my log-on information is already there, so this just 
acts as a verification.

 

So, my questions are these.

What might be going on with VoiceOver not reading these particular choices?

Is there a gesture or keyboard command I can use or haven’t been using that can 
expand the screen or read more information?

 

In fact, one more little issue is this.  When I tap on a series that contains 
several episodes, only a few of them show up on my iPhone screen before showing 
me the bottom tab with other choices.  On my iPad, I can find many more or even 
all of the episodes of that series.  Again, is there a way to expand a list on 
a screen?  I know it’s not on different pages, so a three finger swipe to the 
left won’t work.

 

Sorry for being so elaborate, but I wanted to make sure and explain what was 
going on.

I have written to Univision to let them know about the only inaccessible part 
of the App I’ve seen so far.  Of course, this is a new issue for them, so 
they’re unsure how to proceed.  I gave them suggestions.

But, if this is something I’m doing, then I don’t want to place undue blame on 
the app developer.

Thanks much.

Jim

Issue with VoiceOver not reading everything

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning everyone.

 

I tried sending this last night, but I don't believe it got sent, so I'll
try again.  I'll make it brief, but it's something I've not encountered
before on either the iPhone or iPad.

 

I recently downloaded an app from the Univision network called Univision
Now.  It's a Spanish language TV app which not only allows you to watch the
network live and local but also allows one to watch shows and series on
demand.

You can use the app in a couple of different ways.  You can either sign up
for an account and pay either monthly or yearly, or you can use your TV
provider as a portal.  Mine is Dish, so it makes sense for me to sign into
the app using my Dish information.

 

When I tried going to the area which asks me to select a TV provider, I
tapped on it figuring I'd get a list of choices.  A totally blind VoiceOver
user would swear that there is nothing like that; although, I did learn that
visually, the list of choices does appear and that one can make such a
choice if VoiceOver isn't on.  

This is the first time I see that VoiceOver doesn't read everything that's
on the screen, which is very misleading.

 

I had a friend of mine, who is sighted, help log me in on my iPad and
iPhone.  However, a few days later, while watching a show, the app stopped
again and asked me to sign back in.  Of course, I went back to where the
choice should be and still couldn't have VoiceOver read the choice for the
Dish button.

This is going to get old fast, because I don't want to have to rely on a

VoiceOver not reading everything

[Jim Portillo]

Hi there,
Heree's something interesting that's going on, and I wonder if you might have 
solutions.
I'm using a TV app called Univision Now.  In order to fully use it, I can 
either register with an account and pay monthly or yearly, or I can use my TV 
provider and not have to pay for it.  I use Dish.
This app is cool and has some content I've been wanting to see, which is on 
demand.
What ends up happening is that I go to where I choose the option that should 
take me to the TV provider choices.  I can get there OK, but after that, 
nothing happens.  It's almost as if those provider choices aren't there.  
However, visually, they are there, and all one has to do is select the right 
one and tap on it, which will then take you to a place to log in, in my case 
with Dish.
I had a sighted friend do that for me, and it was working for about a day and a 
half.  Then, I was watching something, and the thing stopped and a message came 
up letting me know I had to sign back into my TV provider.
Again, the choices came up visually but VoiceOver isn't reading them, and I 
can't think of a way to get it to read them.
Is there a command to expand a screen or something?  It's not a page.
What about refreshing?

I wrote Univision and let them know about the only non-accessible part of their 
app, but of course, this is new to them and they aren't exactly sure what they 
can do about it.
Well, I don't want someone sighted to have to help me every time I need to sign 
back in. 
Oh, and the thing is that now, if I choose Dish, I don't even need to type in 
my user name or password.  I basically just need to tap on that choice, and it 
signs in for me again.
This is very inconvenient, and I wonder if there's something I can do here with 
VoiceOver.
Thanks very much.
Jim

Hi, 

I have a series 1 and my wife has a series 2. While the series 2 is slightly 
quicker when launching apps, I don't believe it is worth the extra expense. The 
series 2 is waterproof so you can take it swimming, which you can't do with the 
series 1 watch. If you need this feature, that would be the only reason I could 
justify the cost of a brand new watch. 

Just my opinion and I hope it helps in your decision.

IPhone and quick Mac

[Jim Portillo]

Hello.  I'm having a new and rather weird issue with my iPhone.
Now, sometimes I use an iPhone Bluetooth keyboard with it, especially if I'm 
going to type long emails or documents. I know that when that happens, quick 
Mac gets turned either on or off.  Of course, I know how to toggle that as well.
Well, now, even if the keyboard is not turned on or connected, every time I go 
to an edit field, I keep getting that message of quick Mac being turned on/off. 
 It's as if there's always a keyboard on and connected, even though that's not 
the case.
I've tried resetting it, simply turning it off then on again, and actually 
using my keyboard and then making sure it's off.
Is there any way I can somehow turn this weird setting off?  Nothing seems to 
work, and I can't dictate or type on the virtual keyboard because of this.
Any help would be appreciated.

Jim
PS. Yes, I'm using my Bluetooth keyboard to type this. :-)

Hi Joseph,

I use the Dish Anywhere app on a pretty frequent basis, and find it to be very 
accessible. I can't set and delete my DVR recordings, as well as watch them on 
my phone or on the TV. I had to get someone to tell me what the unlabeled 
buttons were to fast forward, Paws, and Rewind but I've then labeled them and 
all works as it should.

They have a hopper out now that Reed's various menus while you're scrolling 
around using the remote? How does this text to speech work? I didn't know they 
had one out there that would do this.

Subject: Editing account on Uber App on iPhone?

Good morning,

 

As those of us who use Uber know, the app has been updated and is fairly 
accessible.  However, does anyone know how to edit some account settings?

I’m specifically trying to edit or change my email address but can’t seem to 
find where to do it.

I went to settings, and tapped on my name.  There, I saw “Edit Account 
Settings.”  So far so good.

Then, there’s a blank or unlabeled button and to the right of that is my phone 
number.

I tapped on the unlabeled button, and nothing happened.  I tapped on my phone 
number, and it wanted to verify my password.  I typed it in.  It then showed me 
my phone number and said that a verification code would be sent to the phone.  
The only choices I got though were “back” or “Update Phone.”  I tapped on 
“Update Phone” and nothing happened after that.

So, what am I doing wrong, or what do I need to do?

I need to update my email address on that account, and it looks like I can only 
do it from the app and not on the actual web site.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim

RE: Editing account on Uber App on iPhone?

[Jim Portillo]

I can’t.  It doesn’t seem to let me do some of those things from the web.

I went to settings, and tapped on my name.  There, I saw “Edit Account

I need to update my email address on that account, and it looks like I can only 
do it from the app and not on the actual web site.

Any help would be appreciated.

Editing account on Uber App on iPhone?

Good morning,

 

As those of us who use Uber know, the app has been updated and is fairly
accessible.  However, does anyone know how to edit some account settings?

I'm specifically trying to edit or change my email address but can't seem to
find where to do it.

I went to settings, and tapped on my name.  There, I saw "Edit Account
Settings."  So far so good.

Then, there's a blank or unlabeled button and to the right of that is my
phone number.

I tapped on the unlabeled button, and nothing happened.  I tapped on my
phone number, and it wanted to verify my password.  I typed it in.  It then
showed me my phone number and said that a verification code would be sent to
the phone.  The only choices I got though were "back" or "Update Phone."  I
tapped on "Update Phone" and nothing happened after that.

So, what am I doing wrong, or what do I need to do?

I need to update my email address on that account, and it looks like I can
only do it from the app and not on the actual web site.

Any help would be appreciated.

Browsing or searching Netflicks

[Jim Portillo]

Hi there.

So, now I'm getting into Netflicks, after who knows how long it's been around.  
I'm interested in knowing a good way of searching or browsing the site.  I know 
there are categories, but it doesn't seem like it lists all of the shows within 
that category.
Also, I'd like to see what they have in Spanish, but again, I'm only seeing a 
limited number of selections, unless I type a specific name of a specific show.
Does anyone know how I can get a full list of a given category?  And, how can I 
look for things in Spanish in general?

Hi Jim,

 

I checked the Mophie site a couple of weeks ago, and I think that what they did 
was create a case for the 7 to which you can magnetically attach various 
things, including a battery pack.

 

Best,

Apple watch and charging

[Jim Portillo]

Hello.
I'm going to ask a very dumb question, and I hope you guys don't laugh, but I 
can't seem to figure this out.
My apple watch came with one of those round magnetic chargers.  How do I place 
the watch on the charger for it to charge?  The only thing I can figure is that 
the round deal on the charger goes on the actual bottom side of the watch 
itself.  I say that because it's magnetized, but nothing happens, or I get no 
response.  Am I doing something wrong?

Question about my new Apple Watch and iPhone

[Jim Portillo]

Hello. I got my new Apple Watch today and was setting it up following the 
podcast instructions from David Woodbridge.
However, I am wondering the following. I believe that since he recorded those 
initial Apple Watch 101 podcasts, there is a new iOS for the watch. I think 
it's up to version three no. Anyway, I was originally told to sit to watch up 
as a new watch. However, when I was setting up my watch tonight, I got the 
choice of sharing my iPhone settings. Should I have done that, or should I have 
completely tried to set it up as a new watch? I don't know very much about the 
watch right now, but it seems to be working OK would be shared iPhone setting 
so far. However, if there are better advantages to setting it up as a new 
watch, I would be happy to go ahead and reset it completely. What are your 
thoughts? Thank you! I'm excited!

Good morning,

 

As a Christmas gift, I’m about to get an iWatch first series edition.  It’s a 
38 MM screen, which is fine for me because I’m totally blind.  Are there any 
tutorials or is there any advice for me before I go pick it up from the Apple 
Store?  I know it has VoiceOver, and that it can work with my iPhone 7, but 
what will I need to do to set it up?  I think the Apple Store will help me 
somewhat, but I know it will help knowing what I need to do.

Is it fairly easy to use, and are the gestures the same using VoiceOver?

Thanks.

Jim
