6s vs 6s+ camera revisit

2016-04-25 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi all,

I know couple of years ago, we have had this discussion about the
differ in camera from 6 and 6+, and I don't seems to able to find
information about the 6s and 6s+ from this group.

I've been reading different reviews and things about the slight
different between the camera, pretty much the 6s+ has OIS (Optical
image stabilization) and the 6s doesn't. may I ask, from the OCR point
of view, pretty much with using apps such as KNFB reader etc, does it
make a different in quality?

Thanks

Regards
Joanne

battery status after update

2016-03-31 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi all,

Just discover something interesting. After the update of ios9.3, I
found that my phone (iPhone 6+) have a longer battery life but it also
takes longer to charge. In an average usage, I think I save at least
30% battery, on a day however, it also take much longer to charge as
well. Anyone having this rather interesting discovery?

re: OT: comparing: Openbook vs K1000

2016-03-30 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi,

Yes, it will be run on the virtual machine on the Mac as well as on a
window laptop itself.
The reason why I brought up this topic is because i'm rather bias
towards the k1000 has been for years. I just want to get some non-bias
opinion on it.
I think the pearl camera is around $1000US or there about. This is all
going to be funded, and the organization that doing the assessments
favor the openbook/pearl package, which is around $2000US or there
about. Like I said, because i'm bias to k1000, and also somewhat
against Freedom SCientific, i just want some clarification. Thus, I
just want to make sure that i'm not getting something that it is not
useful for me.
Also, there were talks that k1000 will be eventually available for the
MacOS, as far as when and how, is yet to be known.
And lastly, I do put OT = (off topic) on my subject line.

Thanks very much for those who reply off and on list.

Ot: comparing: Openbook vs K1000

2016-03-30 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi there,

In i'm the market of getting an OCR software. I have experience with
both software in the pass, some versions ago.  Just wondering, for
those that may have use both or  have experience with both software,
especially the openbook 9 and k1000 14, what is the advantes and
disadvantages of each other?

What do you like about openbook and k1000?

I can get the Pearl camera with the openbook however, that is not my
first consideration. I need an OCR software that can scan accurate,
fast, and reliable.

I have ABBY Find reader on my IMac, however, i'm looking for some
window os solution.

Thanks for all the suggestions, comments and thoughtss

Joanne

Advise: Ipad Pro

2016-03-23 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi all,

I'm recently in need for an ipad pro for mobile one-to-one or a small
group presentations.

I'm looking on the ipad pro 9.7 and the ipad pro 12.9.

For the screen wise, I do prefer the 12.9" screen, however, I do like
the specification for the ipad pro 9.7".

For those that have both ipad air and ipad pro, what do you find it
advantages and disadvantages between one and another? Is ipad pro 12.9
too bulky for traveling and mobile base presentation?

At the moment, I do have an imac that is my desktop, and a 15.6"
window laptop as mobile computing devise.

I look forward for comments and suggestion.

PS: will be interested on either the 128gb or the 256gb model.

Thanks very much

Regards
Joanne (AU)

zoom iq6 or iq7?

2015-04-26 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi all, 
After much research and advise on the list, i have decided to go with the Zoom 
iq6 or iq7.
i can get both mics for around the same price.
Just wondering, out of the two mics, which is better from those that have 
experience with both?
I'm looking for something that is strate forward plug and record kind of mic, 
with as little post production as i can, as i'm having some pretty tight 
dateline and some time restrain on what i can and need to do.
Also, i'm looking for a mic that best record sound and the  surrounding 
environments, as well as voice, but perhaps not necesarry with music 
production, as i have an Olympus ls100 for the job.
Any suggestion  and sound samples will be very much appreciated as i need to 
order it asap.

many thanks

external mic for iPhone/iPad

2015-04-21 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi all,

I'm in need of doing some field recording for an audio project that i'm involve 
in.
However, i'm hoping i can uterlise my iphone6+ as much as i can for this 
project.
Just wondering, have anyone come across any external mic and the pro audio 
recordin apps that might work?
I'm trying out the Rode Rec Le app, it is accessible with the main home screen, 
however, when you press 'add button', it freezes the phone with voiceover turn 
on. It can work just fine without vo though.
Any other idea?

Joanne

Re: external mic for iPhone/iPad

2015-04-21 Thread Joanne Chua
Thanks for the message.
Isn't the IQ mics only work with certain apps?
I came across a few others, beside the Rode SmarthLav+ there are also Tascam 
IM2, some of the Blue series, and of course, some top mikes that cost around 
$300/$500 that works.
Any experience with these beside the IQ series?

Thanks

Re: external mic for iPhone/iPad

2015-04-21 Thread Joanne Chua
Thanks very much for the replies.
I'll take a close look at the iq6 or iq7.
Someone mention that you have some samples recording, can you please share the 
link again?
The Rode IXQ L mike is around $120USD, and is pretty similar with the iq5 in 
specs. 

As far as for basic recording, honestly, i think the iphone mike and the 
earpod's mike is good enough for everyday basic use. If not, you can look 
around $50USD mark for things like the Tascam, Olympus, etc etc. But again, 
those entry level mike are generally good for voice and speech recording, not 
some field recording.
Although, i have been using the internal mike for field recording, and live 
performance. Of course, the quality is not great, but it is not overly horible  
either.

 the internal microphone on the iPhone. Which mic do you think would be a good

 Would the IQ mic be too much Mic, then? Do you think I would be better served

 For my taste, the IQ5 is a bit too much of a pinched sound. The 6 is XY and 
 the stereo spread is nice. The 7 is MS and if you use the HandiRec app from 
 Zoom, and have a way to post process. You can control the stereo spread and 
 even make it wider. I like the sound of the 7 best and it is the quietest.

Hands on Apple Watch

2015-04-11 Thread Joanne Chua
Hands on Apple Watch

The following is my personal opinion and my first hands on impression
and review on the watch.

It is unusual for me to look in to the Apple Store on the second day
of the product launge. Since Apple Store exist on my local area, i
usually will be there the first thing in the morning, of the launge
day. However, i was too busy on doing other things to even remember it
yesterday, and when i finally remember the day, it was a little too
late.

Anyway, i went in to the store today, and thankfully, those staff
knows me well enough to get me on to the front of the cue, and have
someone helping me almost immidiately to show me the watch. i have the
privilege to touch and feel on two models of the Apple Watch, the
Apple Watch Sport model, and the Apple Watch stainless steel model.
with two different sizer, the 38MM and 42MM model.

Note: i was massuring some of the following findings against my 1990+
BabyG sport watch, with fabrick material, a late 2000+ Swatch Watch,
with the plustic bend, and also a RNIB basic braille watch that is
about 15PS. The BabyG and the Swatch watch were in the high $200USD
mart, while the braille watch was about 15 to 20 pounds.

Weight wise, the apple sport model were the second lightest, and yes,
it is even lightter than the BabyG Sport watch, and also the braille
watch. It is pretty similar to the Swatch watch. I would consider tthe
watch as one of the lighter watch in general, compare to most
expensive watch that i come across. It is very sollert build, and very
classy finished, as i would have expect from Apple. However, the Apple
Stainless Steel model were heavier than the RNIB Watch, but it is,
similar weight to the BabyG sport watch. Please note, the BabyG watch
is just a digital watch that able to tell time and date, and alarm.
After all, we are talking about the 1990+ era.

When the apple watch specialist show me the watch, she pretty much go
through the basic function briefly, but unfortunately, they are not
allow to pare with any devises, or show with any function beside the
demo loop that is already on the watch. This could be something that
voiceover people might want to be aware. Maybe different in different
store, but in the Apple Store in Adelaide, they are not allow to pare
with any devise, or activate any functions, beside what is already in
the watch itself. It might change in the next weeks, but they are not
certain.

The watch face itself in square, the 38mm or 42mm square, and The
vibration patton was strong, much more significant than the Fitbit and
the up fitness wriskban.

it has two buttons, one round and one long button on the right side of
the watch face for on and off, and also, getting in to settings,
volumes,  and all sorts of different things. Of course, you can also
use the fancy taps to activate different functions and activities as
well.
 On the back of the watch, there is a roundish face on top of the
square. From my understand, and how the specialist explain to me, this
is where your fitness stuff build in, and also, the charging dock. The
way to charge the watch is by some sort of magnetic macanism, or, in
her word works like an induction cooktop. You put your watch, or the
watch face on this charging dock and that it goes. There is no any
physical jack, so, i assume that the only way to use with voiceover is
either via the speaker, or using with bluetooth headphone.

The apple specialist clame that the watch can lost for 18 hours on
normal average user usage. She also clame that it is voiceover enable,
and for those that need such set up, they can do it for you at the
store, when you purchase it, or you c an bring your watch to the store
for initial setup.

I like the feel and touch and how it sit nicely on my hand, and how it
snuggle up on my wrisk. although the wrise band on the sport model is
plustic, and you ccan change the bands with different colours, it is
very soft, comfortable, and soothing. In fact, in all honesty, i
prefer the sport model more so than the stainless steel model. Not to
say that, i have most of my previous watch on stainless steel model,
if i can help it.

The black sport model is all in black, even the watch face is in black
too. The other colours got the silver face with different colour bans.
From memory, she told me it comes in White, Green, Pink, Blue, Yellow
and black. Out of all colours, the one that attract me the most will
be either white and Silver, or black on black.

Some people on some lists have been criticizing about how Apple
forcing consumers to buy the watch, and so on and so on. The way i see
it is that, it is a smart watch that will do most things that you may,
or may not need or want. You can talk to the watch when you are
answering phonecalls, instead of some people might have imagine, to
put your hand near your ear, you can simply do it by placing your hand
in front of you, as if you are staring the watch itself.
It will take your heartbeats, your fitness level and send it to

Not sure if someone answer this before, or if it is already capable of doing 
so. But again, from my conversation with the apple lady yesterday it seems like 
it is not been thought of yet.
I would like to see that it can have hourly or even half hourly vibration. A 
bit like the talking watch that draw everyone crazy, but it vibrates instead of 
talk.
That will add another to have list on the watch itself

 Hi,
 
 What a great idea.
 I'm no developer but one quick way might bde to have the taps in a morse 
 code number pattern so all you'd need to learn are the ten different 
 number 
 rhythms so for 10-15 you'd have one tap slight gap followed by four evenly 
 spaced taps, a slight gap to the five evenly spaced taps for the zero, 
 again 
 the one tap with slight gap to four evenly spaced taps for 1 andn five

Re: Best GPS App?

2015-03-20 Thread Joanne Chua
it depends as to what i want to do to determine what apps i use. but, i must 
admit, my most expensive gps apps is Adriane GPS, or however it spell. It was 
around $5. other than that, all my other apps are free.
If i'm on the bus or on some one car, and only interested on my location, i'll 
use Adriane, or Wayz, or simply ask siri my location.
If i need to go to an address, i'll use between Google Maps and Apple Maps 
itself. Both are good enough for what i need.
If i need to know whats around me, some interesting POI, i'll use Swamp, or 
Facebook, or Around Me.

I have friends that use blindsquare and i have a day with it. I found that, 
with blindsquare, you generally need to pare it with another gps apps for it to 
work perfectly, or to get from point A to point B. in case of my friend, he 
uses blindsquare with Wayz.

and, i also a believer on mainstreem apps. why pay the extra money for 
something that might be updated every 3 or 6 months or more, instead of 
something that will be upgraded regularly?

But, in my all honesty, i believe that how well you can move around is also 
depending on how good you are, with your orientation and mobility skills, and 
how well you are in problem solving skills.

All these gps apps might able to let you know where and how to get there with 
least troubles and least trefic, but, none of the apps can determine how well 
you travel, and, will there be any construction work on the footpath, or the 
building next door, where they might block off the footpaths around the

 Hi,
 
 I'm new here and have very recently started to get to grips with Blind 
 Square.  I have never used more than one GPS system in tandom with another 
 and, frankly, in some ways would rather not do so;  but I am enjoying what I 
 see with Blind Square so far but realise that I don't know anything much 
 about Google Maps, except that I gathered you had to keep your finger on the 
 scdreen and follow a route somehow.  Perhaps someone who uses Google Maps 
 with success could tell me exactly how you work out your turn by turn route 
 with Google Maps.  Again, I don't think I could manage to hold my phone and 
 follow a route this way but perhaps it would be easy enough to see the route 
 at least before I start.
 
 I did buy Navigan some while back but, again, haven't really got to grips 
 with it.  If anyone uses this as their other app along with Blind Square, 
 please tell me how it all works out for you.

 initiating the feature, the Speak Screen dialog box appears, reading 
 commences with the specified voice, rate, etc.  
 
 However, if, after enabling the Speak Screen feature, in ibooks, one merely 
 places focus anywhere in the actual text, then performs a 2-finger swipe 
 down, continuous reading will commence in the same way it did in iOS 7.x.
 
 Again, thank you all.  I couldn't have done it without you.

 Using the speak Screen function will let the book continue when the screen 
 locks. First turn it on and select the voice you want to use and the speed in 
 Accessibility setting under Speech. then when in an IBook, first touch the 
 status bar and then do the two finger swipe down to begin reading or use Siri

 Subject: A Question About Reading Continuously in iBooks in iOS 8.2
 
 Hello Everyone,
 
 When I perform a two-finger swipe down to initiate continuous reading in 
 iBooks, on my iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.2, I discovered that reading stops 
 when the display auto-lock kicks in.
 
 In iOS 7.x, this did not occur as, regardless of the system settings, the 
 display would remain on during continuous reading.
 
 Unless there is a workaround, in order to prevent iBooks continuous reading 
 from being interrupted, in iOS 8.2, I have to first disable the Auto-Lock.
 
 Am I missing something?
 
 All replies welcomed.
 
 Mark

Re: Apple's $10,000 question: How to stop Apple Watch from becoming obsolete

2015-03-12 Thread Joanne Chua
maybe is a shock for lots of people, but there are ordinary watches  out there 
that cost more than 20,000USD that are targeted to those that have thousands 
and thousands of money as spare change.
Apple already said it very clearly that this is for the high end market, and 
BBC Business report already expecting 100,000 to 300,000 world wide sales for 
the 10,000 and 17,000 model.
Why people buy a watch that is 17,000USD? well, why people live in a non detach 
house instead of live in an appartment block or a   townhouse? We can also 
argue that people living in an apartment got just as good bed, kitchen, as 
those that is in a house anyway.

 Apple's $10,000 question: How to stop Apple Watch from becoming obsolete
 
 Apple enters the high-end watch market with the 18-karat gold Apple Watch
 Edition. But CEO Tim Cook stays mum about how to keep the smartwatch
 relevant a year or two down the line.

   @sharatibken

 Apple CEO Tim Cook reveals the 18-karat gold Apple Watch Edition will range
 from $10,000 to $17,000. Tim Stevens/CNET
 
 Apple expects some iPhone owners to shell out more than $10,000 for a
 smartwatch. And it hopes they don't care if it becomes outdated in a year.
 
 The Cupertino, Calif., electronics giant on Monday revealed pricing for the
 three models of Apple Watch, which will be available April 24 in nine
 countries. The device starts at $349 for the basic Apple Watch Sport version
 and goes up to $17,000 for the premium Apple Watch Edition.
 
 That huge price gap comes from the use of the materials in the watches --
 18-karat gold for the high-end Edition versus aluminum for the Sport -- but
 not for any of the actual features. iPhone owners won't be able to do any
 more with the expensive gold number than with the entry-level model --
 beyond showing off their ability to afford a wearable device that costs more
 than some cars.
 
 By pricing its smartwatch that high, Apple, one of the world's largest
 makers of smartphones and tablets, is setting itself up as a luxury watch
 seller. But the transition could be tricky. The computing world is moving

Re: voice dream reader, pub and ibooks

Hi,

From my understanding, ibooks format can't be play on voice dream

format, just like with Kindel Books.

 Hi Aman, and Thanks. I just ordered the k811. Thanks to both you and 
 Jonathan. I do hope I like the touch, but it will be nice to have a keyboard 
 without a switch that turns on and off whenever it accidently presses up 
 against something when I carry it. Not a very good design in my opinion. Also 
 nice to have it be used on more than one device without paring it each time I 
 want to change devices.
  
 Someone should do a review of this keyboard on AppleVis. Hmmm, perhaps there 
 is already one there, If not, I may just have to do that.
  
 Thanks again.

 Subject: RE: Looking for a keyboard for my iPhone 6 that has a toggle on off

 Hi Neal,
  
 If I may ask, does the keyboard have to fold, or can it be 
 rigid? Also, do you care about specific hotkeys? For non-folding, I really 
 like the Logitech K81x keyboards (they have the k810 and k811). They have the 
 on-off switch, they can use several devices at a time, and the key feel is, 
 in my very subjective view, very nice. It just feels like you’re typing on 
 keys rather than on mush. The same may be said of the Logitech K480, but it’s 
 a good deal bigger than the k81x units and has a ledge. Both can unlock the 
 iPhone nicely and operate the unit with hotkeys if you want them. I am 
 tempted to argue that the K81x and K480 have keys that are as good or better 
 than the Apple board, but again, this is subjective.
 If you want a folding one, try the Amtop folding bluetooth keyboard. It’s 
 nice and cheap, the key feel is good, it has a switch, and it’s generally a 
 good unit. I returned it because I didn’t like the key spacing, but I suspect 
 most people would like it. I have not used it for a long period, though, 
 whereas I think my K810 is nearly two years old, and I am very hard on 
 keyboards.
 HTH.

 Hi all. The subject says it all. I have the apple Bluetooth keyboard with the

 put it in my equipment case else the button at the end is often pressed to

 Someone told me about the Logitech keys to go keyboard which does have a 
 slide switch, but it is a keyboard under a membrane. Evidently the keys are 
 able to be felt, but I don’t know how hard it would be to type on it. I like 
 the fact that it is rechargeable and the battery is supposed to last for 
 months. Does anyone use this keyboard, or are there others you might suggest 
 that have a toggle with for on and off?
  
 Thanks much for your help.

Re: VOICE DREAM update

2015-03-02 Thread Joanne Chua
It does state it very clearly on the update notes on appstore, as well as on 
the voice dream reader that the reason why you need to reinstall the voices 
because there are improvements on the voices.

I'm not sure how noticeable the voice improvement, i use Will to read a crime 
novel today, he seems, better than before the update. Not so noticeable with 
James though. But Ashley is definitely a good voice to get.

 The other drawback with messenger is that it does not read aloud the

 Hello List,
  
 Someone recommended the app Fooducate for scanning food items for 
 nutritional information when I first joined the list a couple of years ago. 
 I used and liked Fooducate for a while but the version I liked stopped 
 working with my new iPhone and iOS 8 and I don't like its latest version.
  
 Can someone recommend another app for scanning food items to get nutritional 
 information? I use Red Laser to scan all non-food products but it doesn't 
 give the nutritional data I'm looking for.
  
 Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Re: deleteing a app I don't want

Hi, double tap and hold on the app icon itself, then you qwill hear
some 3 tones, then, double tap on the app itself, as if you wanting to
open the app, it should give you the option of either delete, or
cancel. Double tap on delete, and it shall remove from your phone.
Press home button ones to clear the app eddit feature.

Re: KNFB Reader drops to $49.99

2015-02-01 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi,

When you said the app doesn't work, what do you mean by that? Do you
mean, you can't get any result on the scanns, or you can't open the
app or, what sort of problems?
And, if you can't use the app, and not consider to restart your phone,
then, i'm kind of think, is that the user errore, or, the app itself
really didn't work? :)

Good luck

Re: KNFB Reader dropts to $49.99

2015-01-31 Thread Joanne Chua
Comparing KNFB Reader or any ocr app on the phone and a dedicated OCR
software with a dedicated scanner on the pc is like comparing either
is better to walk some miles to go to the nearest store or take a bus
there.

For me, there are some limitations for both phone apps and pc
software. If you want the portability of a phone, with rather some 80%
chance of a raather accurate result, then KNFB reader is your choice
of OCR apps on the phone. But, if you have lots of time, and don't
mind turning your computer, and spend some time on scanning and
outputting the document, then of course, a dedicate OCR software that
usually cost around $900 with a decent scanner that cost around $300
will be the way to go.

Put everything about the software, hardware, and the technology aside,
I very much believe that how well the OCR works on the phone is very
much depending on how good your image quality may be. For example, i
was playing on my friend's KNFB Reader on a 5 the other day. Both of
us took the same picture of the same catalog. One of our pictures
showed as no text, and another reads it all from the top to the
bottom. And it was an A4 page with same lighting, on the same table,
etc. The only different is that, he took the picture rather close to
the catalog, with over expose, while mine was about 1 feet away from
the catalog.

 app on the phone and to be honest OpenBook on my PC was the best for this
 task. The KNFB Reader app even crashed one time, so I needed to launch it
 again. I did made sure that all apps were closed from the app switcher. This
 didn't make a difference in getting readable text from KNFB Reader. Thought
 I would just pipe in on my most recent experience.

Hi all,

Just wondering, anyone have any solution for the native facebook app
to sort the netsfeed in order from latest first? I've tried more; most
recent, but it just for the session, and the most recents seems to
only give me the most 10 recent... Its the same for both iphone and

Any solution?

Re: Requesting Suggestions On Scanning A Large Paperback Book WithThe KNFB Reader

Hi Sandra and all

Thanks Sandra for the post. Now you are giving me ideas. Maybe, i do find 
reasons to get KNFBReader after all. I have a bunch of Thermomix Books that 
sitting on the shell collecting dusts and also hips of fictions and non-fiction 
books that are rare, either they are from Independent publishers or they are 
what i'll call festival authors that can't necesarry get it in the main stream 
market.
Maybe, i can make good use on KNFBReader with these books after all.
I just, need to compile list of reasons to convince myself that i do need the 
KNFB Reader. I have been an iphone user for the last 5 years, and i have never 
pay for any app that is over $5... grins.

 there will be the odd error.these errors are so slight that if I was scanning 
 fiction, for example, they wouldn't matter, but with recipes…so, I decided to 
 bite the bullet and ask my partner to use his flat bed scanner and PC to 
 create PDF files.he then can pass those files over to me and KN FB will 
 digitise them.I should mention that I no longer have a PC or laptop or my own 
 flat bed scanner. his PC/laptop are barred to me!neither does he have any 
 screen readers on them.don't I sound pitiable?however, this was my choice: 
 having decided that I would never, never pay the extortionate rates that the 
 adaptive software was asking of me again.I know there are programs such as 
 NVD a et cetera which I could now use, but when I decided to give up my 
 laptop this wasn't really a viable option.Plus, I wanted to push my iPhone to 
 its limit.so, in short, if you can obtain PDF files, you can use the KFFB 
 reader to OCR them for you.I don't suppose your cookery books are for a 
 Thermomix are they?this is my latest indulgence and has turned me from  an 
 appalling cook into really quite a good one!unfortunately, all the recipe 
 books for the Thermomix do not exist in E format.good luck to you and happy

 I agree that while KNFB Reader is an awesome app, there are projects where a 
 scanner solution is better just as you’d rent a moving truck if you want to 
 move rather than making 20 trips with the car. The ideal solution would be 
 to have a scanner with automatic document feeder and to destroy the book so 
 you can just run the pages through the scanner. I have a Fujitsu Scansnap

 does automatic souble sided scanning. If I had a paperback book with 300 
 pages I could probably scan that with that scanner in about 5 minutes and 
 then just use Openbook to recognize the single PDF file. I guess now that 
 Jaws does OCR on entire PDF documents you could even open the PDF in Adobe

 works.

I think she did mention that is a 300+ a4 size cook book.
If, KNFB is the only option, you might want to make sure that is fair distance 
beetween the book and the camera/phone, to make sure that the phone camera can 
ditact the whole page. Scanstand or Scanbox might pretty much help, but, if it 
is a big thick book, you migh need other solution like putting it on top of 
some stand that you improvise yourself, like a box or something. Usually, allow 
your phone  to have about 15/20CM or about 6  distance on top of the book and 
make sure you have plenty of light coming through the pages. try scan it page 
by page, instead of two side page at the same time.

Re: phone locking up when charging?

2015-01-01 Thread Joanne Chua
As far as justures are concern, try only have the require fingers on the 
screen. I know, at times when i thought i'm doing two finger tap it register as 
three finger tap, or single finger tap registered as two fingers tap.
Also, the harder you bang on the phone with your fingers, the harder for the 
justures to work. As both vo and screen user. i found that sometime, if i read 
things too close, i can accidentally touch the screen and activate the screen 
with my nose or even hair at times.

I found that the new  6+ have this problem more so than the other older phone.

 plugging it in will also turn it on and it should start up shortly. See how 
 it does after the reboot.
 Also, you might want to check to see if the touch screen is clean. Sometimes 
 if it's very dirty it could result in unpredictable reactions.

 unresponsive.

 for example when I double tap on a item when I can get it to respond it 
 turns off speech or go in to another total part of the screen
 is something wrong with my phone or is this a known issue?

   When you record something in DropVox, it automatically goes to a folder
 named Apps\DropVox where it can be accessed from the Dropbox app. The
 recording will be named in the format DV--mm-dd.mp3  where the 
 represents a 4-digit year, etc. So something recorded today will be named
 DV-2015-01-01.mp3. Of course, you can easily access these files on your

Re: retina display, what is it

2015-01-01 Thread Joanne Chua
I think, what we need to consider also the processor of such device.
Yes, you can get an ipad2, or ipad mini 1st gen, but you are
compromising the processor speed. Of course, some would argue that if
the main concern you have for an ipad is to browsing the net,
streaming video and perhaps read a book or two, might not matter. But,
the reality is this, in the long run, it matters as most apps will
going to need more processor and power to run, not to mention the
ability to run the latest OS smoothly.

 I bought a Nexis 7 Android tablet to go along with my iPhone last
 summer. I like having the two devices. There are some things I just like
 doing better on the Nexis 7, in part due to the fact that it's running
 Android and in part due to the fact that it's larger and has a larger
 display. I also find it convenient to have the tablet downstairs in the
 living room while my iPhone may float around a bit more. I tend to
 segregate what I do on each device somewhat, e.g. I generally use my
 Nexis 7 for media, playing music, watching Netflix and so on. One of the
 reasons I got the Nexis 7 instead of an iPad was to play with Android
 and the fact that you can get them much cheaper than you can get an iPad.

 I do understand the single device desire though. Around the house, I'll
 use my Booksense, my Android tablet and my laptop, but when I leave for
 the day or on a trip then I just take my iPhone. Whether you want to
 consolidate everything into one device or use multiple devices is a
 personal decision and there are no right or wrong answers here.

 Accept you won't find a device with the 64 bit processor that doesn't
 have the retina display.

 At least, as far as I know, which is why I say check with others and do
 your own research into the features you want.

 In my opinion, there isn't much point in buying a new device with the
 slower processor as things are going in the direction of putting more
 and more demands on the processor capability of these devices.

Hi MAria,
If you are giving it to someone from the same country, you can do it
via apple website or via iTunes store, or appstore.

If you want to purchase giftcards for someone that is overseas, you
might need to find some other way to purchase it, like perhaps, find
their local e-shopping place that will accept foreign credit/debit
card, or paypal account, and purchase it that way.

Hope this help

Hi Maria,

You mention that your brother doesn't have a spain credit/debit card. Is this a 
possible for him to issue one with the bank?
I assume that since he is working in Spain,he would have a Spain bank account...

 Hello,
 thank you for your reply.
 Unfortunately, he does not know anyone from Slovakia living in Spain.
 Evening classes is not an option as his work time changes and he works from 
 12.00 p.m. till 10.00 p.m. quite often.
 All he needs right now is to top up credit on his sim card so that he can use 
 mobile internet to communicate with family.
 But it seems there is no way doing that. It is quite bad that companies like 
 mobile carriers do not support paypal.
 Thanks again.

 Hi Mária,
 
 Following are my thoughts:
 
 Do you, or does your brother, know or have any Slovak friends living in 
 Spain, who could help,  who may have been in a situation similar to this one 
 when they first arrived in Spain? That might be a way to go. Perhaps your 
 brother could raise the issue witth the Slovak carrier, in so far as, under 
 EU law, they aren't supposed (or allowed) to charge exorbitantly ffor 
 roaming?
 
 Any evening classes in Spanish somewhere fairly near, that he could go to? 
 Maybe, a visit to the other country's consulate by either you/your family, 
 or him?

 Subject: Off-topic - Please, I need help, contact me off-list.
 
 Hello list,
 
 Please, I am very sorry for such a long e-mail, but I need to explain my
 situation.
 
 I hope it will not be very boring and you will read it to the end and
 give me some help if possible.
 
 I know this is very off-topic, but I really do not know where to ask.
 
 My brother is in Spain; he got a job there. He has been there for about
 three weeks. He still does not have internet connection where he lives.
 However, he needs to be in touch, at least over the net (Facebook chat),
 with family here in Slovakia. At first he used his Slovakian mobile
 carrier, having roaming, but the carrier charged him very much for the
 data, so he decided to get a local Spanish sim card called Digimobil. He
 got pay as you go or prepaid sim card with 10 € credit. He has
 activated 1 GB data package which cost him 8 € and he can use it for 30
 days. He is almost out of the data and he needs top up credit on his sim
 card and here are quite many things he is struggling with:
 
 1. Firstly, since he has been in Spain only for three weeks, there is no
 chance for him to speak and understand Spanish. Yes, of course, he can
 understand something and he can speak a little but it is not at such
 level so that he would be able to talk with the operators. His English
 language skills are all the same so there is no point to either call the
 carrier or go to the shop to top up credit this way.
 
 2. Talking about shops, the carrier does not have any selling points
 nearby. He lives in a small village and there are no shops of this kind.
 They have only one grocery shop there and this shop does not sell
 coupons to top up credit. As he works six days a week, there is no
 chance for him going to the nearest town/city. He does not have access
 to transport, plus Shops are usually closed on Sundays.
 
 You might be wondering how he got the sim card them. Well, when he
 arrived to Spain, someone just came to the airport to pick him up and on
 the way to the place where he is now, they stopped somewhere and he
 bought the sim card there, but is quite far away from his place.
 
 3. Another option, which sounds the best, is to top up credit online.
 But, unfortunately, this carrier does not accept paypal. They accept
 credit cards but only those issued in Spain, Italy or Romania.
 
 I know some carriers have something like monthly plan, but it is not
 good for him, because with the monthly plan he must be on contract and
 it would be useless for him since he does not know how long he will be
 staying in Spain. His employer told him he will has his job contract
 till the end of January then they will see if they can keep him.
 
 I got in touch with Digimobil by e-mail asking them for help, but they
 said they would give me all the information I need by phone not by
 e-mail. I told them that international calls are quite expensive for me,
 so they told me they will call me back, but I haven't had any response
 so far. I am a bit sceptical about it.
 
 When my brother arrived to Spain, the internet provider told him to have
 internet the following day, but it has been three weeks and no internet
 still.
 
 Please does anyone know any other recommendation I could try?
 
 To sum up, there is no Wi-Fi, no internet cafe

Can you gift an app to someone from other country?

Hi all,

As the subject suggest, can i say, from Australia Appstore purchase an

Re: unable to purchase knfb reader due to lack of money somebody gift me please!

2014-12-26 Thread Joanne Chua
I think the mods should really take some action against such behaviour. It is a 
spam for the list. Joke from a friend of a member, who manage to log in as the 
member, and manage to post such thing to an email list is rather, unacceptable.
Is like, i took my mum's credit card, and wne to get myself a new iphone, then, 
i try to explain to the bank that, oops, sorry, it is just meant to be a joke 
for my mum...
I think, such behaviour should be condam by the moderators, either looking at, 
temporary ban or even permernant ban.
If, no action taken for such individual, how can we make sure than, members on 
this list will treat each other with respect?
We are not talking about $0.99C worth of gift, we are talking about potentially 
$99.95 worth of gift that, what, coming out as a oops, sorry, just a joke, for 
the spirit of the season, forgive me?

It is not a matter of either other people see the need of such individual, and 
willing to give it or not, it is the matter of, this particular individual is 
fooling us around, and being somewhat disrespectful to the guidelines, 
objectives, and to other members that is on the list, not to say it is somewhat 
disrespectful to the list owners and moderators.
 i think, in some sense, it might even consider as  a criminal act.

 Hello everyone,
 I am not a moderator and I apologize if I am stepping over a line, but I
 don't  think I am, and I need to share this. We have had some fairly
 harsh
 things to say about ram's request. I totally agree that it is not OK to
 ask
 for a gift like the KNFB Reader from this list. However, let's step
 outside
 of our own United States shoes and into someone else's for a moment. From
 the name and the English usage, I am guessing that Ram may not be a
 native
 English speaker and may be from another country and another culture where
 asking for gifts from strangers may not have the bad connotations that it
 does in the States. Also, in the States, we have a 60-75% unemployment
 rate
 among blind people, depending on how you figure the stats. We know that
 we
 have many blind people who have not had the opportunities to learn
 independence, self-sufficiency, and the skill set  that makes them
 empowered
 in this world. Given all that, I would like to explain to Ram that I
 understand his/her need for the KNFB Reader, but that we can't give it to
 him/her and that it is not a good idea to ask. I would also like to
 explain
 that I feel very sad that Ram and many of us, blind and sighted, don't
 have
 what we need in this world. I send compassion and hope that Ram can find
 resources to get what is needed. I also hope that we as a list change our
 tone of responses.

 I hope the above is not out of line. I deeply appreciate this list and
 the
 info and help that you share. I have learned so much and have felt such a
 part of a supportive community. Please let's think about saying no in a
 more
 compassionate way.
 Many blessings to members of all religions and to persons with varying
 perspectives,

Re: The dark side of Apple's two-factor authentication

I personally found this article is laughable. It is the user choice to

about how, Apple being too overly safe and security conchious for user
protection... It is not Apple's fault if individuals forget their
passwords, or their activation code is there.
Apple always got good repitation for security, and now, someone

 I strongly suggest that you read the following article, very carefully.

 The dark side of Apple's two-factor authentication

 Earlier this week, a strange message popped up on my Mac that I thought
 nothing of. You can't sign in because your account was disabled for
 security reasons. I dismissed it in my tired haze, thinking it would
 solve
 itself and went to sleep.

 The next morning, I didn't have time to deal with the message - which was
 now popping up every half hour - for a few hours until it became annoying.
 I
 figured I'd done something dumb and broken iCloud, but that it could
 wait.

 I'd turned two-factor on my Apple ID in haste when I read Mat Honan's
 harrowing story about how his Mac, iPhone and other devices were wiped
 when
 someone broke into his iCloud account. That terrified me into thinking
 about
 real security for the first time.

 When I finally had time to investigate the errors appearing on my machine,
 I
 discovered that not only had my iCloud account been locked, but someone
 had
 tried to break in. Two-factor had done its job and kept the attacker out,
 however, it had also inadvertently locked me out.

 The Apple support page relating to lockouts assured me it would be easy
 to
 recover my account with a combination of any two of either my password, a
 trusted device or the two-factor recovery key.

 When I headed to the account recovery service, dubbed iForgot, I
 discovered
 that there was no way back in without my recovery key. That's when it hit
 me; I had no idea where my recovery key was or if I'd ever even put the
 piece of paper in a safe place. I've moved since I set up two-factor on
 iCloud.

 I began nervously scouring the entire house for the code, before giving
 up
 after a few frustrating hours and began searching my computer for any
 trace
 of it. I found countless recovery keys but they weren't for the right
 things; for my Mac's hard-drive encryption, Twitter, Facebook and other
 accounts, but not for my Apple ID.

 How could I be foolish enough to misplace my Apple ID recovery key?
 I swore that I'd taken a screenshot, printed it and had taken a photo of
 it
 with my iPhone for extra safekeeping.

 This is when it began to sink in that this single ID held the keys to
 much
 of my digital life; everything from iTunes purchases going back seven
 years,
 app purchases and even the ability to get my iPhone out of the grips of
 Find
 my iPhone's lock.

 The sinking feeling began. After fruitlessly searching and a lot of
 cussing,
 I decided to call Apple. I figured that something must be wrong, since
 the
 support page claims you can use trusted devices to recover your ID in
 cases
 like this.

 The first person I spoke to told me immediately after getting on the
 phone
 that in no uncertain terms I had forfeit my Apple ID by losing the
 recovery
 key. He refused to help me. I hung up and called back.

 On the second call, I got a lovely woman who totally understood my plight
 and how terrible it was. She told me a similar thing had happened to her,
 and it had turned out OK. After 20 minutes of poking around and lots of
 awkward sighing, she put me on hold to talk to a senior manager.

 When she got back on the line, the story was just as bleak. We take your
 security very seriously at Apple she told me but at this time we cannot
 grant you access back into your Apple account. We recommend you create a
 new
 Apple ID.

 I couldn't believe what I was hearing and fought back that surely there
 was
 some other way, but I was told point blank that Apple would not help me.
 I
 offered a scan of my government ID, my trusted devices and other proof
 that
 it was me. Nope, that won't do for Apple in this situation. She
 apologized
 profusely and said there was nothing more should do.

 Furious about the situation, I took to Twitter in a fit of rage,
 complaining
 that Apple couldn't help me out of a dumb situation, in which I could
 easily
 prove who I was. It was frustrating enough that when setting up my Apple
 ID,
 the company assured me I could recover the account with a trusted device.

Re: how to sync apps with iTunes 12: why change things that worked like in itunes 11

2014-11-09 Thread Joanne Chua
I personally have no problem with Windows 8. Infact, i love it, more so than 
windows 7 and definitely vista. I think, part of the problem is that, people 
often fear for the change are those that never experience it, and fearful to 
experience it. They form some followers group, disagreeing for the sake of 
disagreeing, to make them, somehow, different or to stand out.
If one is so fearful for the change, and like some people keep repeating here 
anyway, why fix something when there is no need to then, why not these people 
stick with your very first nokia phone, those that from the 1990s, and be done 
with it.
I'm pretty sure people somewhere in this world, still using windows 286 to do 
word processing, windows 95 to get online, and so on and so on.
If i say, my favourite windows OS is Windows Me, will anyone believe me? My 
favourite is Jaws 6.2, will anyone believe me?
But, that is the true. We can either move on, or stayback, and keep looking 
back to back in the those days.
We want to be accessible, to be widely available, but we often, choose not to 
contribute, because, contributing and participating on a meaningful discussion 
or contribution is too hard. Better off living in the 70s, and have the 
advantage of the early 2000s.

 To remain competitive, I would stay with something dependable and stable that 
 continues to withstand the test of time.  Chess is a good example.  Even 
 after a few thousand years, it's still one of the best strategy games for two 
 players, and the rules of the game haven't been changed all that much.  Why 
 haven't they?  Because the game works as it is designed to.  On the other 
 hand, companies like Microsoft are always having issues with their new 
 fangled, newly designed, current operating systems when they had a perfectly 
 good system, namely Windows XP.  However, they would rather stay current and 
 innovative, as well as less dependable and accessible than before.

 Interestingly, you only feel this way when the product works perfectly for

Re: Facebook and Finding a Specific Friend

For the native facebook for iphone app, the search function is now on the 
mainpage, on the homepage, at the very top. If you type in your friends' name, 
all the names on facebook will appear, with people that you are friends with 
first, follow by strangers.
For native Facebook for ipad app, the search friends function is still under 
the main-menu page, under friends, or under search, depending on which you want 
to use. Again, when you search, your friends will appear first, and follow by 
the strangers.

This is the result with the experience on iPhone6+, iPhone5 running iOS8.1, and 
iPad mini 1, running ios7.12 with the latest native fb app

strava update

2014-11-08 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi all,

Just want to update the listers about Strava, the fitness tracker apps.

After spending some time with the app, i found that its mainly
accessible, as long as you can get pass the sign up screen. With
Strava app, you can either sign up by facebook, singup by email, or
the third option is for existing strava user.

If you go sign up by facebook, for some reason, VO didn't seems to
highlight the option, even though VO anounce that Signup with Facebook
chet. If you go sign up with email, and continue on from there, the
strava app itself turn up to be fairly accessible. Of course, you can
also signup on strava.com, on your destop, and continue it through the
app.



Thought, some of you might want to know since, Strava is consider one
of the most popular fitness training app.


On another note, anyone try Rntastic before? I found that rntastic
comes with few different apps. Anyone have any experience with those?

 Huge Potential Recall
 Technical Defects of iPhone 6+ Raise Questions about Controller IC

 November 2014
 Functional defects in some of Apple's latest smartphones have been
 observed.

 According to overseas IT news sites on Nov. 2, problems have been reported
 related to data storage in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+.

 Business Insider reported on Oct. 24 that a number of 128GB iPhone 6+ users
 have reported functional defects via Twitter. When owners switch between
 apps or check notifications, the phone is said to inexplicably crash or
 enter a reboot loop.

 Apple Insider also reported on Oct. 23 that some owners have replaced their
 iPhone 6+ four times. It was also pointed out that Apple's recent iOS 8.1
 update did not fix these defects.

 Some in the industry point out that considering that technical defects
 mainly occur in the 128GB version of the iPhone 6 Plus, there might be a
 problem in the controller IC of triple-level cell (TLC) NAND flash.

 TLC flash is a type of solid-state NAND flash memory that stores three bits
 of data per flash media cell. It can store two to three times as much data
 as a single-level cell (SLC) that stores one bit of data and a multi-level
 cell (MLC) solid-state flash memory that stores two bits of data. Moreover,
 TLC flash is more affordable. However, TLC is slower than SLC or MLC in
 reading and writing data.

 To reduce cost, Apple reportedly used TLC NAND flash in the 128GB version
 of
 the iPhone 6+ and some other models. Previously, TLC NAND was used in some
 iPads, whereas more expensive but more stable MLC NAND was used in most of
 the iPhone series.

 As numerous reports of low read performance of the Samsung SSD 840 and 840
 EVO using TLC NAND flash have surfaced on the Internet, a problem in the
 controller IC is considered to be the more likely cause of the defects. As
 the controversy over the SSD 840 and 840 EVO grew, Samsung embarked on
 firmware upgrades. Some in the industry think that if TLC flash is indeed
 the cause of the defects, Apple might recall all of the products that have
 been sold so far.

 I did go ahead and get the Defender for my iPhone 6.  The form factor is
 definitely different than the Defender for the iPhone 5 series.  It's much
 slimmer and sleeker.  I like the case design.  The issue with the gap
 between the protecor and screen is ininv* annoying though.  Tapping and
 swiping can be quite a chore at times.  I'm going to give it a few more
 days to hopefully break in somewhat but not sure if I can live with the
 annoyance long term.

The main different for Skype for iPad vs Skype for iPhone is the lay

 Hi Christopher,

 I don't have an iPad, but if you can install Skype for iPhone on an iPad

 and don't quite get why Skype would have an iPad version and not update it
 with the same features. Checking the app store Skype for iPad was updated on
 September 15 and is at version 4.18.1 whereas Skype for iPhone was updated
 on October 15 and is at version 5.6.

Hi, depends on what you do with your phone before as to determine
either you have turn voiceover off or turn speech off. If what Rob H

Also, if you are on a computer, you can go to applevis.com

There are lots of different resources and podcasts and audio guides
that you might want to check it out.

Good luck

 VoiceOver:  presss and hold the Home button on the front, wait forit to make

 the double beep to show Siri is listening, then say Turn VoiceOver on.

 That should do it.

 mBraille is the independent app for writing and editing in Braille, though
 iOs8 has braille input on VoiceOver's Rotor, note how that is spelled as it

If you have your icloud set up on both devises, it should show on both devises 
with all your bookmarks in place and all content in tact. What happen is that 
your books or content will sit on icloud, and you may need to manually download

 That is not correct. You can add US English to the rotor as an additional
 language, then tap on More to the right of US English and download Alex
 or
 select him if you have already downloaded the voice. I have my iPhone set
 up
 this way, I have the female high quality voice as my default voice, I
 have
 German added with the german high quality voice downloaded and I have US
 English added as a second language and selected Alex. This makes my
 default
 the high quality female voice, if I turn the rotor to Language I can
 flick
 down once to get to German or I can flick down twice or up once to set
 the
 voice to Alex.

 Ar, that's because Alex in fact can't be added to the rotor. You can only

suggest that 8.1 will be available for 4S.

 It's possible they update the iPod Touch again, but my guess is that just
 as
 with the last update (the Fifth Gen) it will be behind in terms of
 processorand size. I doubt Apple would make a relatively inexpensive device
 (compared to the iPhone 6) which basically costs half as much but has all
 the same specs except for being a phone. There are already the iPads who
 fill that place and the iPod Touch has been a very small part of Apple's
 business for quite a few years now. But let's just wait and see, we shall

 By Ben Reid | October 2nd, 2014
 Although iOS 8 was first showcased at this year's WWDC developer
 gathering back in June, it wasn't until September's iPhone 6 event
 that we first caught a glimpse of the new integrated, contactless
 payment system dubbed Apple Pay. The Cupertino company's new
 infrastructure would not, we were told, be a part of iOS 8.0 on day
 one, but would follow in a subsequent October software update.
 According to a new report, the Mac maker is right on schedule to roll
 Apple Pay out with iOS 8.1, with the same source also offering a firm
 date
 on the release.
 Informants of Bank Innovation believe that iOS 8.1 will be made public
 on October 20th, and among a number of other enhancements, will be
 focused on getting Apple Pay up and running. Both the iPhone 6 and
 iPhone 6 Plus have been kitted out with NFC radios especially for this
 feature, and with Apple Watch also set to integrate with the system
 when it débuts early next year, it's critical that Apple get
 introduces Apple Pay with as few issues as possible.

 As we discovered earlier on this week, it seems that Apple is
 switching up its iOS release schedule this time around. Whereas iOS 7
 was followed by a series of incremental iOS 7.0.x updates before iOS
 7.1 launched during the opening stages of this year, iOS 8.1 is going
 to be dropping just five weeks after that initial roll-out, and from
 what we've heard, iOS 8.2 and 8.3 are already in the works.
 October 20th is a Monday, and the day after, it is reckoned that Apple
 will hold its second major event in as many months to showcase the new
 iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display. Both are expected to
 benefit from Apple's
 A8 processor as well as Touch ID, and there could also be a gold color
 configuration in the offing, but while iPads and October tend to go
 hand in hand, there may be quite a bit more on the agenda.

 OS X Yosemite just hit Golden Master, and should also be rolling out
 on one of these two days, and with the notion of a 5K Retina iMac and
 new Mac mini also floating around, October is shaping up to be quite a
 busy one as far as Apple is concerned.

I think its an overall trend with smartphones. There are lots of

 One thing that nobody has mentioned so far is that in the UK at least,

 first, but when I found out that its price was inline with the

 introduced a cheaper 32GB model instead of simply dropping that

 It all depends on your expected usage. That is, if you never store

 movies, audio books, tons of voices, or huge apps on your phone, 16GB is
 fine. If, however, the extra 48GB is worth the $100 so you *can* fit all
 the
 stuff I just listed, that's fine too. Basically, there's no functional
 difference between the two, and the 64GB is $100 more. Only you know if
 the

 Neal,

 I think that Apple is trying so hard to satisfy the people who are
 impatient that they are cranking out the updates too fast and don't have
 time to properly check them.  Having seen what has happened last year and
 this year also, I still think that they feel that timing to put out the
 new product is more important than coming out with the right thing from
 the get go.  They set themselves a deadline and go crazy trying to stick
 to it and the result is what we get.
 I guess they have evaluated that their reputation can stand the problems
 and they seem to be right. No matter how many bugs there are, people seem
 to forgive Apple for putting out a product before it is ready.  When
 people camp out on the sidewalk for two days to be the first to get the
 new product, I guess you don't have to worry about several dozen bugs.

 Hi, I applaud Apple's quick update release. What is bothersome is that
 they put out an update not knowing about the issue that caused them to
 pull it. I bring this up only to ask a question. For those who are on the
 beta team, do you get to see these updates first, or is the testing of
 these done in house. This also raises the question of updates released
 that may, in fact, break things that already work. I guess we will have to
 wait and see, but I am curious about who tests the updates they release.

 FYI, Apple has just pulled the update. You can no longer get it; I imagine
 it will be re-released soon with a fix for the problems on the iPhone6.

 I updated and didn't have this problems. I called voicemail and was able
 to delete messages without the dial tone bug, so maybe this is solved.

 However, I've heard that some users are losing cell service and that the
 update also breaks touch ID. I think I'll wait!
