RE: An Aira Update
Hi Mark and everyone. Given this new policy, I'll be unsubscribing after around 9 years on the group, but I want to express my disappointment about this change. During Cara's excellent and even-handed leadership of this group, we had many occasions where app developers would engage with us about their apps, especially when those apps were blindness specific. Since this particular app was one that has come up here on multiple occasions, with some mentioning it as one of their top apps of 2018, it seemed appropriate, on-topic, and of value to interested members to let them know about recent developments, especially a free trial. This has been welcomed on other groups. It's a difficult and false distinction to separate the app from the service, when the app is the vehicle for that service. Further, the service itself would in the past have been considered on-topic, because one uses it on an iPhone and it is blindness specific. Anyway, I've learned a great deal over the last 9 years, so thanks to everyone for that. Should you wish to be on a group where app developers and users can freely interact, you're welcome to join my BlindPhones list, which covers both iOS and Android. If an app developer wishes to take time to engage, they are welcomed with open arms. blindphones+subscr...@groups.io. And of course as has been already pointed out in this thread, there's an Aira group too. Thanks all.

RE: Seeking accessible mindfulness or meditation apps
Hi Shannon, interesting, we were discussing this topic on the BlindPhones list not so long ago. Headspace, which I think is the most popular mindfulness app, has become a lot more accessible lately. They are making good use of the actions rotor now. As well as the JKZ apps which Anna has already mentioned and are fabulous, my favourite mindfulness app is Calm. They have a range of meditations, scenes which have audible elements, such as a crackling fireplace or ocean sounds. They have sleep stories and music too. Every day, there's a new 10-minute meditation called The Daily Calm which I think is very well done. There's an app called Simple Habit which offers five minute meditations for busy people. Another that offers a few good meditations is called Simply Being. Hope that helps. I do 15 minutes of meditation each end of the day so I find having a few apps to choose from keeps things fresh.

Re: Battery drain
Hi Dan, Apple Accessibility has confirmed on multiple occasions that screen curtain has no effect on battery drain. Adjusting the brightness does though. I always have my brightness at 0%. Even if I need to turn it up to get sighted help if VO breaks badly enough, which hasn't happened in many years, now you can tell Siri to increase the brightness for you, so I can't think of a reason that a totally blind user shouldn't have their brightness at 0% and automatic brightness adjustment disabled. Screen curtain is a great security tool, but it has no impact on battery drain.

It's not just load on the server, it's a critical case of phones being bricked.

Re: Post iOS 9 What Apps Are Restored?
Hi Alan, first, thank you so much for buying the book. My understanding is that now, if you own an app that is no longer in the store, you could be outa luck. This article <http://www.imore.com/apps-disappeared-after-restoring-backup-your-iphone-6s-heres-fix> has a good explanation of the current state of things and talks about the restore process with the aid of the new app thinning technology.

Re: Wired Lightning Earpods and charging, was: IPhone 7will include a headphone jack adaptor.
Hi Flor, sadly not. In the box with every iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, you get a Lightning to 3.5 adapter. It does not allow charging the phone while you use wired headphones. If you lose it or just want more than one, they cost $9.95. But if you want, as many of us will, to charge your phone while using wired headphones, we'll have to hope third-party accessory vendors fill the void, assuming the Lightning specification permits such an adapter.

Hi Guys, for three or four years, I've been running an email list for registered developers and, as of last year, public beta testers of iOS. It's very focussed and has a lot of experienced testers, but if you think you can contribute, you can send a blank email to: testing-subscribe@lists.appcessible <mailto:testing-subscribe@lists.appcessible>.net Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org > On 17/06/2016, at 12:28 AM, Liel Ben Simon ליאל בן סימון <liel...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Hi!

Re: WWDC event, was it yesterday?
Hi Sieghard, sad to say, Siri won't be opening your Audible book any time soon. For iOS 10.0, the Siri API will only work with six kinds of application: ride booking, messaging , Photo Search, payments, Calling, and Workouts. So, Siri won't be able to open a book in Voice Dream, Bard, or any other third-party book app. It won't be able to play music for you on Spotify or Pandora. It won't be able to play the most recent episode of a podcast using third-party podcast apps. I have no idea why Apple is so tone deaf to how far it is lagging behind in this space, but what they're coming out with is only going to improve the situation slightly.

Comprehensive Analysis of Apple's Big Reveal from a Blindness Perspective
Next Monday, Apple’s Worldwide developers conference begins with a big reveal. We’ll find out about many of the key new features in iOS 10, the operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch that will be released later in the year. We’ll learn about the name and feature set of the next version of the operating system for the Mac, which may even get a new name. There may be software announcements pertaining to Apple Watch and Apple TV, and who knows what other surprises Apple may have in store. WWDC is aimed at developers, so the presentation can get a bit geeky. And due to limited time, a lot of information is flashed up on the screen in presentation slides that are not spoken about during the presentation. To get a straightforward, comprehensive analysis and summary of all the big news, you won’t want to miss our special Tech Team presentation on Mushroom FM right after the event. One thing we promise. We’ll offer you detailed, constructive analysis. This is no Apple commercial. The team brings a range of perspectives to the show that will help you understand where Apple is innovating, where they’re catching up and where they’re behind. On our tech team for this show are: Allison Hartley, so much of an Apple fan that she even includes the brand in her own Twitter Name, @AppleAlli. She’s also the co-host of the Tech Doctor podcast. Steve Nutt knows his way around iOS and VoiceOver, but he’s a committed Android user and advocate. If you’re debating whether your next device should be iOS or Android, Steve will offer his views on how Apple’s announcements stack up from an Android user’s perspective. Heidi Mosen is an iOS user and tech geek. She also is unique on the Tech Team show in that she has eyeballs that work. As already mentioned, these Apple presentations display a lot of information on-screen that isn’t discussed. Heidi will be taking copious notes during the keynote event, so she can answer detailed questions and comment on user interface and other issues she’s been able to see from the demos. And I, Jonathan Mosen, will be chiming in, moderating the conversation, and doing my best to ensure you’re informed and entertained. The Tech Team will begin by discussing the big news among themselves, then we’ll open it up for discussion to find out what you think. You can Skype us, or call us via numbers all over the world. Details about those numbers closer to the time. We’ll also be monitoring the #MushroomFM Twitter hashtag. If you have an interest in tech from a blindness perspective, you’ll want to set two hours aside to join the Tech Team. We go to air right after the keynote, at 4 PM Eastern, 9 PM UK, next Monday 13 June. See you then.

Re: Sonos
Hi Marie, yes you can, but you would need to know the full path of the folder you want to add on your PC and be able to enter it accurately in the appropriate settings in the Sonos iOS app. That would involve knowing the computer name as it appears on your network, and the folder. It is easier to do it from the PC, and indeed when you run the Controller on the PC, your My Music folder which usually includes your iTunes library is added automatically. You can also browse in the standard Windows way to find any other folder you'd like to add using the PC controller I've recently published a 30,000 word book on Sonos from a blindness perspective. There's plenty of step-by-step in it and it may help a lot. http://www.mosen.org/sonos Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org > On 21/05/2016, at 4:27 AM, Marie <scribbl...@comcast.net> wrote: > > Having very little success with the Sonos desktop control for windows.

Re: apple airport express
I can't speak highly enough of the Airport Extreme. We have three on our network here. They are reliable, the 802.11AC Wi-Fi allows us to take full advantage of our fibre connection, and the configuration process is beautiful with the Airport Utility, at least on Mac and iOS. They are the best routers I've owned, and I've owned a lot of them. Wouldn't ever use anything else now. A router should be one of those things you set up and then forget it's there. We also have Airport Express for AirPlay to Sonos and that works well.

Re: Adding Apple Music to Sonos
Hi Jim, a couple of things in addition to Sieghard's explanation. Adding services with the PC Sonos controller is quite a bit easier I think. That's not to say that it's not doable with iOS, but you have to explore by touch rather than flick. Hartgen Consultancy has released some free scripts for the Windows Sonos controller, so if you're a JAWS and Windows user, it's worth grabbing them. Second, yesterday I released my new book, Sonosthesia. It's a handy guide for everyone from Sonos experts to people who just want to know whether a Sonos system is for them. It's at: http://www.mosen.org/sonos <http://www.mosen.org/sonos> Good luck, we love our Sonos system which has a habit of expanding all the time.

Hi Keith, if you're willing to get a Shoutcast or Icecast server from a provider of such things, there are a couple of apps that will let you broadcast high quality audio to those servers, and you can provide the links to anyone to tune in.

Re: AppleWatch and app to track sleep
Hi Piotr, I use an app called Sleep++. You do have to start and stop it manually, but it calculates restful and restless sleep. It also integrates with the health app. SO the combination of this app, the Apple Watch data from WorkOut, heart rate monitoring and the three regular goals, plus the data my Withings scale is collecting is giving me a pretty good health picture and I've been able to make adjustments accordingly. I love all this data because it motivates me to make good health choices.

I think the thing people are missing here is that it doesn't work in all markets. It's not available where I am in New Zealand, but based oN David Woodbridge's podcast, he has it in Australia.

There is. This is covered in the latest edition of my Apple TV book available from http://Mosen.org/atv4. I also demonstrate it in a podcast for AppleVis. But essentially, Apple TV behaves differently in username and password fields, and you can dictate character by character.

Re: iPad airplay volume max?
Hi Traci, if you're sending data from an AirPlay device, then adjusting the volume of that AirPlay device controls how much output is being sent from it. It's not actually adjusting your Apple TV's volume. If you need to go all the way up to 100%, it won't hurt anything. When you're using AirPlay, you won't be able to adjust VOiceOver's volume with your iPad's volume controls. Instead, you can use the volume option on VoiceOver's rotor.

Re: Sonos
Yes, the Mac Sonos Controller needs a lot of accessibility work. There are many unlabelled buttons. I've also found that at least in recent times, the only way I can easily add a new service is via the PC. It seems to have become inaccessible in the iOS controller, which other than this is brilliant.

Re: Sonos
Hi Sieghard, Apple's AirPlay licensing expressly prohibits its use in multi-room systems, so Sonos isn't allowed to include it. This is also why it has been removed in newer versions of Bose SoundTouch. I would imagine that if Apple ever gets real about this, Sonos will be one of the first to jump on board.

Re: Twitter apps
Hi Bill, the native Twitter app is quite accessible, but you may outgrow it quickly. In my view, the value of Twitter is much greater when you can read tweets in the order they were sent. For example, if you're following a breaking news story, using a hashtag or list, seeing the story unfold in the correct order is a much better experience than reading the most recent tweet first. It's very hard to do this with Twitter's own app. Either Twitterific or Tweetings will give you a wider range of options, and both try to keep your place in your timeline so you can read in the correct order. I make use of a lot of Twitter lists. For example, I'm a keen follower of politics around the world, so I have a list of US political reporters and candidates which I pay particular attention to on primary days. Tweetings seems to do a much better job at keeping my places in lists than does Twitterific. Recently, I produced a 45 minute podcast on Tweetings for AppleVis which covers how to get started and how to use it. On my company's website, Mosen Consulting, I also have e n eBook for purchase called Tweeting Blind, which is a guide to Twitter from a blindness perspective. Hope that helps.

Re: Sonos
While a headphone jack on some of the units might be nice, I'm not convinced any new product is necessary, because Sonos already has one called the Connect. You can easily plug headphones into this, and indeed I have a device plugged into a connect that sends any audio from Sonos directly to my hearing aids. You can set it up as a room of its own or group it with another. For example, we have a Sonos PlayBar, sub, and two Play:1s in our living room for 5.1 surround sound. When we're watching a movie, I send audio to a Sonos connect as well so I get the sound of the movie straight into my hearing aids. But it could easily be wireless or wired headphones plugged in there. Becoming a Sonos household has been the coolest tech we've adopted since iPhone. I love this stuff.

Re: Anyone using a CI with and iPhone?
Hi Don, have you tried running a cable from the CI devices directly to the headphone jack? I think many CI devices include a Euro connector, so you could have a split cable that runs from the Euro connector on each side to a single 3.5mm plug. That would give you stereo, and excellent latency.

Re: apple TV or google chromecast?Apple TV or Google Chromecast?
I don't own a Chromecast, but my understanding is that in apps that support it, once you choose the Chromecast option, the Chromecast actually takes over the streaming. This makes it different from AirPlay in that AirPlay streams wirelessly from one device to another. So if you use Chromecast to watch a Netflix movie, once you've found that movie on your phone and initiated the Chromecast session, you could take your phone entirely out of the loop, even power it down.

Re: iPhone seven rumors
Hi Scott, since this is a mainstream issue as well as an accessibility one, I've used the feedback form. In my view, it would be good to see AppleVis take an editorial position on something as significant to many of us as this, in the same way that Cult of mac has done, where they are opposing the jack's removal. I agree with you that a bunch of blind people won't stop this on their own, but it's an unpopular decision with many very loyal Apple fans, as the Apple fan sites have shown, so there is quite a coalition of concerned people forming. I for one was grateful to AppleVis for blowing the whistle on the inaccessible App Store a few iOS versions ago, and I believe it may not have been fixed before release if AppleVis hadn't done the right, brave thing and taken a public stand. This is another such time where it could help to make a difference. The jack has to go sometime, but hopefully, it can go at a point when the entire industry has agreed on a better standard. I certainly appreciate you organising to have AppleVis retweet the link to my blog post, and I'd be happy for AppleVis to use the text. I personally don't see much point in starting another discussion on another user forum, it's some sort of editorial post I was looking for. I believe at times like this, we all as a community need to pull together to work towards what's in our common interest. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I know you're a hearing aid user too and that you're concerned.

Hi Rich, if Apple could work their magic to give us a haptic way to tell the time with Apple Watch, that would indeed be very cool.

An iPhone Without a Headphone Jack: The Accessibility Ramifications
Hi everyone, since I posted the text of my blog entry last week, there's been some great discussion here about what the removal of the headphone jack would mean. I've also had a lot of private email and comments on this as well, and I know dozens of you have completed Apple's feedback form. So thanks for having your say. Thanks to all this feedback, I was able to write a new blog post that I think captures more of our concerns on this topic, and crystallises the issues better. It's really long so I won't paste it here, but if this topic interests you, you may like to take a look here. http://mosen.org/index.php/an-iphone-without-a-headphone-jack-the-accessibility-ramifications/ Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: Personal Assistant: Microsoft's Cortana
The only way to get an app from a different app store, and keep the account you have, is to set up a second account in the other store. For example I have accounts in the UK, US, and Australian app stores to get apps I use that are exclusive to those stores, and then I have my main account in New Zealand. You will need a unique email address for each account you want to set up. For those who are interested in step by step, my audio book, Imagine There's no Countries, covers this.
