Re: Apple Releases U2 Removal Tool, Today
I've tried the link below but the site will not let me sign in. Has anyone else had this problem? Kawal. On 15 Sep 2014, at 20:39, M. Taylor mk...@ucla.edu wrote: Hello Listers, The link to actually remove the album is located at the bottom of this post. Mark Apple has released a tool to remove U2's new album from its customers' iTunes accounts six days after giving away the music for free. Some users had complained about the fact that Songs of Innocence had automatically been downloaded to their devices without their permission. It had not been immediately obvious to many of the account holders how to delete the tracks. The US tech firm is now providing a one-click removal button. Some customers asked for the ability to delete 'Songs of Innocence' from their library, so we set up itunes.com/soi-remove to let them easily do so. Any customer that needs additional help should contact AppleCare, spokesman Adam Howorth told the BBC. Users who want to remove the new U2 album can now click a button to do so Users who remove the album and do not download it again before 13 October will be charged for the 11 tracks if they subsequently try to add them again. It's embarrassing for Apple that it's had a bit of a backlash, commented Ian Maude from the media consultancy Enders Analysis. It was giving something away to its customers - so that part was really good - but what it should have probably done was make it optional. Not everybody's a U2 fan as it's just discovered. Is there any long-term impact? No. It's moved very quickly to fix the problem. 'Blood, sweat and tears' Apple made the album available to about 500 million iTunes customers in 119 countries to coincide with its iPhone 6 and Watch launch event last week. Some users had requested an easy way to delete the music from their media libraries U2's singer Bono acknowledged at the time that not everyone would appreciate the gift. People who haven't heard our music, or weren't remotely interested, might play us for the first time because we're in their library, he wrote on the band's site. And for the people out there who have no interest in checking us out, look at it this way... the blood, sweat and tears of some Irish guys are in your junk mail. Bono added that Apple had paid for the giveaway, and reports have suggested that prime placement of banner ads publicising the album on the iTunes store and other publicity provided by the tech firm might be worth as much as $100m (£62m). Sales of earlier U2 albums have re-entered iTunes' charts and the band has also raised its profile ahead of an expected tour as well as a planned follow-up album called Songs of Experience.

Re: Preordering with in the UK
It's OK Sieghard, I was just telling you what happened in my basket that day. I will use it as I said. On 15 Sep 2014, at 00:17, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Kawal, You didn't say that there was a charge for the gift card. I assumed that maybe this was a promotion since, for example, Apple often does something like that for Back to School, e.g. I think here in North America if you bought a Mac computer you would get a gift card of a certain value at no charge. I don't want to argue with you since I wasn't there, but somehow I have a hard time understanding how there was no option to unselect this gift card. I have often seen this with other companies, they add some sort of related item to your cart and you have to unselect it otherwise you get charged for it. Like I said, I don't want to claim that this I sdefinitely so, but at some point you come to a place where you agree to buy whatever is in your cart and if you didn't want the gift card then it's your choice not to continue and to order the iPhone over the phone or at the store so you could have asked not have this included. Anyhow, I do assume you buy apps from time to time and I think you mentioned KNFB Reader which means you just paid the 25 Pounds a couple of weeks earlier since you can apply the balance to your next app purchase. I use Gift Cards almost exclusively for buying apps, music and so on since I can buy them when they are on sale anywhere from 10% to 20% off which means I can quite often pick up a $50 gift card for $45 or $40, once I even got it at Safeway for $37. Then I buy 2 or 3 depending on how good the deal is and I'm set for a year or 2 with credit I can use for my purchases and anything I buy basically costs me 20% less. Redeeming a gift card is also a piece of cake, just scratch the number, go to the app store app, find where you redeem a card at the bottom of the Featured tab and choose to scam the card, then hold it in front of the rear camera and it's done.

The URL to find this on the internet is as follows: http://www.apple.com/live Nice and easy to remember, but if you don’t remember the “/live”, just go towww.apple.com and click on the link “September 9, 2014 - Wish we could say more.” The “Wish we could say more” is interpreted by various people in different ways, many seem to think that it is a reference to SIRI and that while we may often “wish we could say more” to SIRI, with iOS 8 we will be able to say a lot more. This would include things like “turn off the lights”, “close the garage door”, “make sure the door is locked” or maybe “what is my heart rate” and things like that which of course tie into the June announcement of features like home kit, health kit and so on. It goes without saying that all of these things require additional hardware such as WiFi connected lights, garage door openers, door locks, personal health devices etc. I think there is also a real expectation that an iWatch is going to be announced and that the fact nothing has leaked hints to the possibility that this device is completely manufacturered and assembled in the States at a facility where Apple can keep the lid on things which is hardly possible with companies like Foxcom in China where much of the iDevices are assembled. Anyhow, Tuesday could be rather exciting and I hope it will be rather than disappointing which might be the case if there is no iWatch and only a 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch iPhone 6 with the next generation chip (pretty much a given) and a better camera.

It looks like those with no mac, iOS device, or Apple TV might be out of luck. Specifically, it says this: Live streaming video requires Safari 5.1.10 or later on OS X v10.6.8 or later; Safari on iOS 6.0 or later.

The URL to find this on the internet is as follows: http://www.apple.com/live Nice and easy to remember, but if you don’t remember the “/live”, just go towww.apple.com and click on the link “September 9, 2014 - Wish we could say more.” The “Wish we could say more” is interpreted by various people in different ways, many seem to think that it is a reference to SIRI and that while we may often “wish we could say more” to SIRI, with iOS 8 we will be able to say a lot more. This would include things like “turn off the lights”, “close the garage door”, “make sure the door is locked” or maybe “what is my heart rate” and things like that which of course tie into the June announcement of features like home kit, health kit and so on. It goes without saying that all of these things require additional hardware such as WiFi connected lights, garage door openers, door locks, personal health devices etc. I think there is also a real expectation that an iWatch is going to be announced and that the fact nothing has leaked hints to the possibility that this device is completely manufacturered and assembled in the States at a facility where Apple can keep the lid on things which is hardly possible with companies like Foxcom in China where much of the iDevices are assembled. Anyhow, Tuesday could be rather exciting and I hope it will be rather than disappointing which might be the case if there is no iWatch and only a 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch iPhone 6 with the next generation chip (pretty much a given) and a better camera.

Re: Braille input program opinions sought
I'd like to see that when you write Braille in future using M Braille that it makes the same sound if you were doing touch Typing using the normal keyboard. One thing I didn't like about MBraille was that there was no feedback like you got with the normal touch Typing keyboard. Thanks. Kawal.

However, having said this, since iOS 8 isn’t far away, I would wait for it and see what the braille is like there. I have had a quick play and you need to turn the rotor to the braille keyboard every time you want to use it and some contractions did have issues. But this was only a beta and it will probably improve by the time we see it. I can still see myself using Braille even when iOS 8 is out for certain things and will use the iOS braille keyboard at other times. Cheers, Brett.

Help with Aria Scale.
Good Morning everyone. I have just got my Aria Scale and have a question. Ifi were to take the tab off, the Scale would work. However, when the batteries run out, how would you put new ones in? Is there also a switch on the Scale to turn it off? I couldn't feel one. I am now reading the manual before I set it up. I'd appreciate a little guidance. I live alone and have no sighted eyes today as I'm not at work today. Thank you very much. Kawal. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Help with Aria Scale.
So where would you put the batteries in once they died? I have the App on my phone. I will take the tab off and set it up. Thanks so much Lois.

When you step on, it turns, and off when you step off. There is no need for a switch. You will need to have the Fitbit app on your phone in order to set it up. After you have the information in the app, just follow the very good instructions under set up a new device. Good luck.

Various help needed please.
Hello Again. I got the tab off the scale and know how to put in the batteries. But now I have other problems which I'd like help with please. i've forgotten how to switch networks on my 5S so that I can connect the Aria Scale. If some one could tell me please. The second this is, I have no clue what my weight is although I know what my height is in feet but no nothing about pounds or Kilograms. So if I were to get beyond the set up and to the personal information it wants you to give all this information. If some one could tell me how to get around it then I could set up the Scale as well as the Tracker. If some one could write to me off list please by sending e-mail to kawa...@me.com rather than my list address so as not to clutter the list I'd appreciate it. I have read the starting manual well the first bit any way. I'd appreciate this help and sorry for all the a questions today. Thank you.

Re: Aria Scale
Please someone explain what this is. How does it work and do you need a special device? Can it also work if you use a Treadmill as I do. Thank you. Kawal. On 16 Aug 2014, at 12:28 am, Lynda Ingraham lynda.ingra...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Neil, I set up my scale a couple of days ago. It was absolutely accurate regarding my weight. The glitch was with the calculation of my BMI. I weighed myself twice. There was less than a half pound difference in the two weights. However, there was an 8% difference regarding my BMI. I called Fit Bit regarding the discrepancy. I happened to get someone that could have been new or just doesn't understand body weight and BMI. She said the reason for the 8% increase in my BMI was due to the 6/10's of a pound increase in one of the weights. Do you have any idea whether metal implants could affect the BMI calculation? I have quite a bit of metal. I have a totally artificial ankle, two hip implants and a spinal cord stimulator with a battery. I did contact the company for my spinal cord stimulator. They said some people have noticed a small surge in stimulation. I did turn the device off while weighing myself. Fit Bit is going to send a new scale. I appreciate that very much.

This also goes towards the app being more accurate when counting your steps etc, plus, calories burned when walking and exercising, after all, a lighter person may use less or more energy to excercise etc. The scales can be linked to up to 8 FitBit accounts making this a great unit for the family, I also like the fact that I, for the first time in my life, am able to weigh myself in absolute privacy.

ARIA Scale.
So I went to Google and read about the Aria Scale. So now I have bought it from Amazon which was so much cheaper than buying it directly from the manufacturers website. Good Amazon. Thanks to this list I have bought something useful. Now is there a Blood pressure device although I don't have problems with Blood Pressure. Hope this App is easy to use.

A week ago I went to the Apple store and purchased a set of Jabra Rox Wireless bluetooth headphones. They have fabulous sound for music and the way they are physically is great. They are like large earbuds. The part that sits in your ear bowl is big enough that they stay in my ears very well. I have a hard time because I have little ears and also ware hearing aids. I tried the Plantronics bluetooth voyager both the legacy and the pro. I love what they do but they just don't fit my ears so have continued looking and found these Jabras. Briefly here is what they look like. just a cable going between the two ear pieces with an inline remote with mike. This seems to work very well with my small ears and hearing aid situation. The cable goes behind your neck. I like the flexability of this rather than ridgid ones. Also the backs of the ear parts stick together magnetically and this also starts and stops some functions. So when they are not in your ears they stick together on your chest like a neckless. Another slick thing is that the back of one of the ear bud piece pulls away and that is where the charger cable plugs in. Here is the problem and this is a big one. They are not very responsive when it comes to moving my finger around on the iPhone touch screen. Because of this dificulty I in advertantly removed the phone icon from the bottom line of my phone. So the up shot is I have two questions. Has anyone had experience with this and is there a solution or will I have to return these and keep looking? I love these except for this one problem. Second: how do I put the phone icon back on to my screen? Thanks for any help! ☺ Teresa, headset hunter -- It is action, not mere intention, that leaves our mark on the day.

Government and car manufacturers are working with them to achieve this. This isn't just about sending emails or music playback -- driving will be changed forever. Your car will speak to you. Here are 10 ways driving will change: Car: Your heart rate and pulse show me you're a little tired. Would you like me to cool the cabin and play loud music? Plessey Semiconductors is developing seat sensors that mean your car will respond to your physical condition. As in-car telematics become accessible using smartphones, further opportunities will emerge. Car: You seem to be driving to the theatre, would you like me to find and book you a parking space? Location services combined with your car's understanding of the places you go mean your vehicle will be able to work with smart transit and parking allocation systems. Car: You need to top up the engine fluids and the tires need inflating. Your car carries a ton of sensors. These are already used in crash scene evidence collection and an app called Automatic can access this information in some cars now. One day, all your mobile devices will do the same. Phone rings: Hi there, this is your car, I'm just calling to let you know someone else is sitting in the driver's seat. Do you want me to authorize them to drive, or shall I disable myself. A camera in the rear view mirror will run a facial scan. Apple's Touch ID in the steering wheel or on your phone could be deployed to boost such security features. Car: I see we are in slow moving traffic. Would you like me to take over so you can read some emails? Renault's vision for self-driving cars sees you in control. Drive your car if you want, or hand over to autopilot when that makes sense. Car: A driver in the next street is driving erratically. Slow down. Beware. Cars won't just talk to you and to service providers. They will also speak with each other. They will know how you drive, and warn their drivers accordingly. Phone call to emergency services: Hi there, this is a silver Audi on Route 57. I've been in an accident. Please send help. Europe's 'eCall' law comes into effect in 2015. All new cars will be required to host an embedded SIM and mobile connectivity to alert emergency services in case of theft of accident. Car: You have been speeding. I have contacted law enforcement and you have been issued a ticket. These connected solutions sound impressive, but intelligence works both ways. Poor drivers will be penalized: For your protection. How much will you pay? Making it compulsory for new cars to carry SIMs mean they must be online. Carriers will want to charge. Drivers will pay. Carriers will offer additional services for additional fees. Insurers will love this. Insurance firms are already offering Pay How You Drive policies, in which drivers agree to put connected sensors in their cars which measure things like braking speed, acceleration and more. The theory is solid -- safe drivers pay less -- but will there come a point when car insurance is no longer necessary? One thing's for sure, car insurers will do everything they can to maintain the existence of the vehicle insurance cash cow. Love it or loathe it, the way you drive is going to change. Think about this when you decide between Apple's CarPlay or Android Auto.

Re: Bluetooth between Apex and IPhone

I just don't find the Humanware Apex working so well with IOS since I have experienced both the Focus Blue 40 and now the 14 with my IOS device.

Re: Baum braille display
I did see this Braille Display at Sight Village which is held in the UK every year. Although I liked the Braille, I thought the device rather expensive and a bit chunky for my tastes. But pairing it to 3 or 4 devices will be good for someone if they can afford the heavy price tag. Just my thoughts. Kawal.

In my opinion, it is one of the best braille displays I've seen. It has a switch to toggle from display mode to notetaker mode. In the notetaker mode, it has a word processor that can read the standard text file types, BRF, TXT, DOC, etc. What you write in the word processor can be opened on the computer I think as a TXT file. It also has a pdf and excel viewer. They plan to add a power point viewer this fall. You can have up to 4 bluetooth devices paired at one time. A key combination toggles through the different bluetooth channels. It has 32 GB of internal flash, plus can read and save to USB sticks. It has a key lock switch. I found the keyboard very comfortable to write on. It has the standard braille keys and the baum navigation keys, plus a few extra modifier keys for accessing menus, modes, etc. There is also a 40 cell model which cells for $3395.00. The braille felt very sharp and clear to me. It will start shipping around August 15th. You can read more about it and find a local dealer at: http://www.baumusa.com/ If I didn't already have the Braille Edge in my office, I would buy the 20 cell for its portability and features.

SFO Terminal 2 San Francisco International is about to make life decidedly easier for blind and visually impaired travelers. The airport has teamed up with Indoo.rs to unveil a Bluetooth beacon system that will help these passengers find their way through Terminal 2 using only their phone. When users walk past one of the 500 transmitters, their devices will announce nearby points of interest; they can find flight gates, ATMs, information desks and power outlets without asking for help. An early version of the necessary app also has a directory for sighted visitors. The guide technology only works on iOS devices so far, but The Verge understands that it will eventually support Android-toting guests as well. Indoo.rs expects the service to be available either late in the third quarter or early in the fourth. __._,_.___ Posted by: Petrus tuerlings pet...@vodafone.co.nz Reply via web post •Reply to sender•Reply to group • Start a New Topic • Messages in this topic (1) Yahoo Groups New feature!

The O chord will open the option menu on the Apex and that’s why a pass through keystroke is vital.

They used to have disk drives, but have not for a few years now, just like the Macbook and iMac lines. Disk drives are going away, and I find that I only rarely miss having one, not even often enough to make me pick up a USB disk drive. 3. No, the Mini is a small computer tower. It has no screen, keyboard, or mouse, though it does have a small internal speaker. It is meant to be connected to all necessary peripherals. If you're after an all-in-one solution, a Macbook might be better for you. The iMac is also an option; it has the tower and screen in one unit (though it is not a touch screen). No Mac currently offers a touch screen, only iOS devices do that. For the blind especially, though, a trackpad is just as good, since it lets you feel around the screen and perform familiar VO gestures to navigate and perform other actions.

I want to try the app but feel reluctant for the same reason i don't use Siri, which only is available in English and a couple more other languages but not Swedish.

I like how, using natural language one can set where one wants the event to be added.

Hello Steven. Just in case no one has answered your question. make sure that you are set to characters by activating the rota.

Re: Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution
I tried some of this but Siri wanted to read me an article. Siri can't announce my name or my Guide dog's name so I'm always writing it out. Kawal.

Best regards, Del - Original Message - From: Joseph FreeTech joseph.freet...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 26, 2014 11:46 AM Subject: Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution Ok all, couldn't resist, so I experimented a bit more, and here is how I used Siri to change how it pronounces odd names: 1. Ask Siri to Contact x (where X is the person with the oddly spoken name). 2. Regardless of Siri's answer, press the Home button to essentially cancel the request. 3. Now, press the Home button once again and say the following to Siri: That is not how you pronounce X. Note: remember, X is the person's unusual name. 4. Siri will ask you: Ok, how do you pronounce the name X? Siri will wait for an answer, so go ahead and say out loud the person's name. 5. After saying the person's name, the next prompt you will get is Siri asking: Ok, thank you, which pronunciation should I use? 6. At this point use a 4-finger single tap to go to the top of the screen and swipe to the right to read the screen. When you reach Play option 1 you will double-tap to hear the new Siri pronunciation. You will probably get three choices, so listen to them in the same way just described. when you are ready to make a choice simply double-tap on the Select button associated with the desired option. 7. You will be asked to choose a pronunciation for any remaining parts of the person's name such as left middle and last name. 8. When the process has completed, you will hear one of two messages: Thanks for correcting me on that, I'll pronounce it as X from now on. or Great, I'll pronounce it X from now on. If you are not presented with these Siri replies, it is likely the changes did not go through so try again. 9. If all went well, press the Home button to close any remaining Siri screen. 10. Now test your pronunciation changes by asking Siri Contact x. You should hear Siri speak the new name. If you can get this feature to work, it is very, very cool!

I could not get this to work. Hoping someone will post better instructions. Smile. For now, its definitely possible as this YouTube video demonstrates: ? Teach Siri to Pronounce Contact Names Correctly in iOS 7 - iPhone [How-To] - YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPcYB3bysFQ Here are the written instructions: Teaching Siri How to Say Complicated Names If you want to teach her how to properly pronounce a name, just open up Siri and tell her, That's not how you pronounce [name goes here]. From there, she'll give you several options as to who's name you want her to learn, if she doesn't already recognize it. As an example, I used Marielle Escobar from my contacts. Siri pronounces the first name as Marielle, when it should be pronounced Mary-Lee, so I opened up Siri and said That's not how you pronounce Marielle. Siri then asks me, OK, how do you pronounce the name (Marielle)? I then pronounce the name the correct way (Mary-Lee) and Siri gives me three options to choose from, all slight variations of Mary-Lee, if not exact replicas. If none of those sound correct, you can tell Siri again. If an option works, press Select. Once you select it, Siri will ask you about the last name. You can pronounce it as well, even if it's already correct. It will then do the same thing again, giving you three options to choose from. Once you're done, Siri will say, Great, I'll pronounce it First Name, Last Name and you'll be ready to go. No more Siri massacring our exotic names. http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/make-siri-pronounce-contact-names-correctly-ios-7-0148665/ Joseph the free tech guy! -- The
Re: Apple wins patent for a second smartwatch, the 'iTime'
Do you think it will have Voice Over? Very excited if it will. Kawal. On 23 Jul 2014, at 02:19 am, M. Taylor mk...@ucla.edu wrote: Hello Everyone, I thought some of you might be interested in the following article. Oh, the link to the original article is located at the end of the text. Mark ARTICLE: Apple wins patent for a second smartwatch, the 'iTime' July 22, 2014 10:00 AM By Mark Sullivan The Patent Office has just granted Apple a patent for another smartwatch. In the patent application, Apple refers to the device as the iTime. The watch looks more like a standard wristwatch than the much-hyped iWatch. But in this watch, the whole center section can be removed, and can operate independent of the band. That central unit can store and play back media, and is controlled by a touchscreen on the front. The iTime responds to gestures, and does push notifications, according to the patent. Here's how Apple describes the device in the application: An electronic wristband to be worn on a wrist of a user, the electronic wristband comprising: a central portion having a receptacle area configured to receive and electrically connect to a mobile electronic device, the mobile electronic device including a display and being independently useable apart from the electronic wristband to perform a first set of functions. Apple says at least part of the wristband will contain a wireless communication transceiver, and when it's connected to the main device, the device can perform a second set of functions that includes sending user input to a second electronic device. The watch's band is divided into at least two sections, according to the patent, and each section contains a wireless antenna. Part of the watch's band also includes at least one of an accelerometer, an antenna, a GPS receiver, or a haptic device. That haptic device is situated against the skin on the underside of the band, and gives the user a buzz for notifications, as when messages or reminders come in. The accelerometer and gyroscope are included to detect the user's arm motions and gestures, the patent says. The application points out that the iTime will connect with an iPhone and display information about incoming calls. The user can then use the watch to accept or reject calls. Apple employees Albert Golko, Mathias Schmidt and Felix Alvarez are listed as the inventors on the patent. The patent was originally filed in July 2011.

I turned the Bluez off and back on, and it wouldn't pair with my phone. I tried pairing it from Settings, but it immediately said it couldn't. I told it to forget the Bluez and then tried pairing again, but that failed too. It is as though my Bluez suddenly stopped being recognized. I'd rather not do a network settings reset, so is there any kind of reset I can perform on the Bluez itself? If not, would a network settings reset actually do any good, or is the headset broken in some way? Any help would be great; I don't find the Bluez overly comfortable, but I still use it most every day and would be quite annoyed if it turns out to be a hardware problem.

Hello. I am cross posting to both lists as people always ask about various Braille Displays etc. Thanks. Kawal.

Re: Advocates for blind, deaf want even more from Apple
Thank you Jonathan That was very interesting. I think we need to do this, only if it helps blind people get employment. On 10 Jul 2014, at 05:51 pm, Jonathan Mosen jmo...@mosen.org wrote: Hi everyone. I'm a supporter of this resolution. To offer an alternative perspective on the discussion, I'd like to paste here the text of an entry I posted on my blog at http://mosen.org/index.php/nfbs-ios-app-resolution-some-perspective-and-context/ Being a member of a minority is exhausting at times. Ignorance, discrimination (both inadvertent and deliberate), and barriers preventing us from realising our full potential are problems we encounter regularly. These issues aren’t unique to blind people, or even to disabled people. I’m mindful as I write this of the recent 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act in the United States. It’s a significant piece of legislation. It required bravery on the part of the legislators who passed it. Its principles met with considerable resistance, some of it violent. This post is a long one, because I believe the issues of self-advocacy, collective advocacy, what is worth fighting for and what is not, are all important to our sense of self-perception and our expectations of what constitutes our rightful place in society. I’d like to illustrate both the challenges and potential of advocacy by recalling a few issues on which I’ve worked over the years, remind you of the advocacy of other minorities, then take a look at the National Federation of the Blind’s resolution on the accessibility of iOS apps in that context. Maybe before you took time out to read this post, you spent some time today reading a book. Perhaps it came from Bookshare, or a special format library. We now have access to eBooks, and it’s worth noting that access to the Kindle app was achieved after considerable collective advocacy efforts. Nevertheless, special format libraries and repositories continue to play an important part in blind people exercising our right to read. It wasn’t always this easy for special format organisations to get their material to you. In 1994, as the Manager of Government Relations for the organisation then known as the Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind, I oversaw a campaign of advocacy which took advantage of New Zealand’s Copyright Act being rewritten. We believed that if an author published a book, it was being published for all the people to access. The status quo at that time was that if the special format library in New Zealand, and for that matter most other countries, wanted to make a book available in Braille or on talking book, they had to write a letter to the copyright holder asking for their permission. Sometimes, those letters would sit on someone’s desk for months and months. Eventually, the library would get a reply. Most of the time the reply said “yes”, sometimes the request was declined, meaning blind people were deprived of access to that book. It seemed wrong to me that the process of making the book available in a special format, which is time-consuming in itself, was delayed by the need to seek permission. It was absolutely abhorrent to me that publishers felt they had the right to say “no”. We began an advocacy campaign asking for a clause to be added to the Copyright Act giving blanket permission for recognised organisations for people with print disabilities to make books available in special formats, without having to seek the permission of the copyright holder first. The response of the publishers was ferocious. They blasted me, and the campaign, for a culture of entitlement. Worse, they called me a thief. One day, I got a call from the representative of publishers who said, “so tell me, do you steal from everyone, or just from publishers”? There’s no doubt we’d got the publishers angry. But we calmly made our case to the people who mattered, legislators. We pointed out that the publishers weren’t being required to pay for their material to be made available in special formats, that access to the printed word was just as important as access to the built environment. The legislators agreed, and the law was passed. It was ground-breaking, and in subsequent years I was approached by a number of organisations in multiple countries, including the United States, about how we concluded that advocacy effort successfully and how they might go about doing something similar. Ultimately, that concept has now been enshrined in an international treaty. Something considered by some to be radical, over-reaching, exhibiting entitlement just 20 years ago is now considered sound public policy, even by the publishers. Not long after that campaign was concluded successfully, I was being asked to front up on a range of current affairs shows over my campaign to repeal the law which arguably prohibited any blind person from serving on any jury.

I did not find the presenters to be all that evasive when it comes to currency. They simply said that at this point the app did not recognize money, but that maybe down the road it would. In any case, with an app like LookTel Money Reader which supports quite a few currencies and works so well I don't think it's a big deal whether the KNFB Reader app does that or not. I don't want to endorse the app before it's available or before we know how much of a premium they will charge and I do want to point out that I am not a beta tester, but I must say that I look forward to finding out how much it will be and of course to hear a well-done Podcast and user feedback about it. One thing I have been meaning to find out and maybe you know this is whether Prizmo and Text Grabber do the recognition on the phone or whether the image is uploaded, recognized on a server and the text is sent back. They did mention that KNFB Reader does not require a data connection to work and that is certainly good, but as I said, I don't know if the other popular apps share this ability.

I listened to the privately recorded Audio Boo of the KNFB Reader presentation which was announced and linked to on Top Tech Tidbits. 1) The presentation was a first-rate demonstration of showmanship. It was very obviously completely pre-rehearsed, such that the presenters were able to present 100% flawless scans with perfect first-time images whilst properly exciting / working the crowd. All the items scanned were preselected, so the presenters obviously knew the items would work. The recognition speed was the same as the speed in TextGrabber. So, what does KNFB Reading Technologies contribute to the OCR arena? Aside from the fact that they are a company focused specifically on blindness access (which will make them far superior to everybody else in some people's eyes)? It appears that KNFB Reader is primed to take the picture whilst the iOS device is laying flat on the page. After activating the onscreen button, one lifts the device until the camera automatically activates. Therefore, the image is either assessing blank white space, page edge detection, or both. Given the cheerleading and the lack of specific detail given in the presentation, I will bet KNFB Reading Technologies will be charging a significant premium for this implementation of the technology. I do hope I am wrong. Oh, one final note, the Reader will not support currency in its initial version, and the presenters were evasive about if and when such may become available in the future.

Re: KNFB Reader App
Well, I can't use OCR on my I phone at the moment as nothing has worked for me. I have no views about the KNFB reader as I'd like to know, if a blind person can't hold their phone still or the page is the wrong way round, how can this new thing work. A friend of mine demonstrated the one he had on his Nokia phone and it didn't matter that he put the page the wrong way it was still scanned. I didn't know that this new thing was coming out until I joined this list a few days ago. Kawal.

A comparible Micro USB cable would cost about $5 or $8. I don't really blame Apple for this, they charge what people are willing to pay, but I am sure KNFB put a lot of time and expertise in developing the iOS version of KNFB Reader and from what I have heard so far it may do some things which Prizmo or Text Grabber won't do so I think once again we should all just wait until the app is released before passing the guilty verdict. $99 is expensive for most apps, but I have seen other apps on the App Store which cost that and much more and which are made for a particular target market.

No longer do we have to pay a high price to access our screens because Apple included a free access package. No longer do we have to pay a high price for OCR apps because sighted people, who use and require the same apps, only need to pay a few dollars for it and, therefore, so do we. In my opinion, and this is just my opinion, the marketing department of KNFB is doing us a tremendous disservice by trying to bring back the 1980's and 1990's business model of how assistive technology is distributed.

Opinion on the Focus Blue and any other display.
Hello Everyone. I am selling my Essys in due course (as I've been thinking about it for some time) so am in the market for buying another Braille Display when I can afford it. So, all opinions welcome on what braille displays work well with the Mac and I phone. I am wishing to have opinions on the Focus Blue, and wish to know if this braille display is self cleaning? I want a braille display where I can clean the cells myself without having to send the display away for this service as it can become expensive when you need to have cells clean. Is this so? I'd like to hear good and bad opinions about any display someone might have. I know everyone will have good and bad experiences but I want to know preferably if you can maintain the display, i.e. cleaning the cells yourself as I put lots of cream on my hands to look after them and all these soaps and creams can make the cells dirty and the braille can lose dots because of the dirt. Thank you very much. Kawal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Of course, you will need a converter as well as the adaptor because, in North America we use 110-120 volts at 60 cycles and South Africa is 220 volts at, I believe, 50 cycles. Before leaving here, I purchased a 220 to 110 volt converter and it came with 4 or 5 adaptors. One of them definitely fits. I believe its 3 prong. I think 2 round and a flat but I'm not absolutely sure. A set of adaptors is very inexpensive and available anywhere. My adaptors were, from European 2 round prongs to everything else. If you need a converter only for basic appliances, you don't need to purchase the converter for electronics such as a computer. A simple converter for something like a shaver will work and is not very expensive at all.

However, I just did a Google search for What power plugs are used in South Africa and I found the following website: http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity.htm This website describes 14 different plug configurations (from type A through type N) which are used around the world. According to this, Type M is most widely used in South Africa and while it sounds similar to Type E and Type F which are the German standards, I believe it is different. But I am sure you can find an adapter or maybe the Standscan comes with some adapters. I once bought a Skype desktop telephone from a company called Ipevo and it came with about 6 different adapters. It is completely incomprehensible to me why there isn't more standardization. I guess it wouldn't be an easy thing to change something like that, but I'm sure it could be done over time.

The one thing to keep in mind once the price is announced is how much is this app worth to some of us. Remember that specific installs for the braille note and braille cents products cost more than $600. Also remember that many commercial GPS apps for the iPhone itself can cost anywhere from $25-$55. I have no idea what the price for this app will be, however I do know that once that price is announced if people don't like it there will definitely be a lot of vocalization from peoples opinions. I only say this because any time and accessibility app is announced in that price is more than five dollars, people seem to make a big deal over it. I can look through the archives and discussions of the access notetaker app, blindsquare, Fleksy, Sendero's Look Around app, and the various daisy readers Have mostly initially been met with criticism over the price. Some people will purchase the app despite the cost because they want to support the developer. Others will purchase the app because it is worth it to them. And still others might wait for the app to go on sale before they make a purchase. My purchasing history shows that depending on the app in question I could fall into any of those categories. Fleksy and blindsquare were apps which I purchased only after they went on sale. Yet voice dream reader and looktel recognizer were apps I purchased at full price. And finally, apps light digit-eyes and read2go our ones which I have not purchased and don't intend to. So my only point in writing this message is to remind everyone, including myself, that no matter what the price of a new app is, we will have to decide for ourselves if it is really worth it to us considering our personal needs and the features contained in the app. Cheers!

Aah, no wonder I had the same problem, but I thought because I was trying to fill it in with my I phone, as I'm away from home, away from my I Mac. I will write back to the original person to see what he did and write back to give you an answer. I'm very sorry about this as I did not know but thought some one would want to sign it.

I know its been tweeted out. I posted a petition on Change .Org on Saturday. It is in reference to Samsung trying to block sale of Apple products in Germany. Yes, I know their is a temporary hold on the decision. I just want Samsung to know the attack on the blind community is a bad move. Not only financially, bug for PR reasons. It is your choice whether or not you want to sign. I'm including the link. Pass it around to your friends and family to sign.

Hello All. I don't use Navigon but today I have discovered that there is to be a new solution for Navigon in the near future which will be benefitting the blind.

Re: Trekker GPS App
I'd like to agree with the person who said, that using an IOS device when walking would be difficult. I too rely on the Trekker Breeze when out and about as I too have a guide dog.

Re: simply audio books
Simply Audio is not in the UK store. Thank you very much Sieghard for your message of warning. Kawal.

You might want to search the archives because there was a bit of a discussion about it at the time. My thought on this is that I feel $25 is pricy, yes, you can read/listen to as many books as you want, but you don't own the books, it's like Netflix where you can stream as many movies as you like except of course Netflix is only $7.99. When I tried the service I started listening to a book I really wanted to read and about half way through I stopped one night and when I tried to pick up where I left off the next day I was informed that the book unfortunately was no longer available. I called customer support and was told that they somehow lost the rights to the book and that this was something that happens from time to time. I much prefer Audible where I can download the book and even if I at one point cancel my membership I still have access to the books I purchased. I buy my Audible credits in batches of 24 which is $229, so approx.. $9.54 or $9.55 a book. As a member I also have access to all their promotions, they just had one again where they offered 200 books for $4.95 a book and I ended up finding 10 books I liked. Just those 2 transactions netted me 34 books for $280 which means I paid $8.24 a book so 3 books at this average would be the same as paying $25 a month for the Simply Audio Books service. I sometimes read more than 3 books a month, but usually I can easily get additional books during one or another promotion from Audible for $5 to $7 and while in the end I might spend $100 or $150 more than what the $25 a month service would cost me, at least I own these books and they add to my growing library of books many of which I will read again at some point.

I downloaded the free app and it seems to work with VO but I thought I'd ask before setting up an account to find out if it is useable to actually read books. There is a free two-week trial period so doing that won't cost anything besides the time. Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.
