audio boom?

2015-04-26 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.

having some strange things happen with audio boom.  when I double tap on the 
text edit field to give the boom a title i get thrown out of the text field 
before I have a chance to thyme anything meaningful. Also if i try to pick a 
category they don’t speak.  Is it just me? Or are others having similar 
problems?   Just wanted to ask before I contact the debs. Does anyone know how 
to contact the debs?


thanks.

Re: MBraille iOS app update

2015-04-24 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
You know I think this is a very good app.  However, the sales are limited 
because it’s only an app that will benefit blind people.  I can understand the 
developer needing to charge small amounts for improvements to the app.  After 
all this feature is optional.  If you don’t think it’s worth while, then simply 
don’t buy it.  If the app developers received no further funding, and therefore 
couldn’t support the next big iPhone update or fix bugs, then that would be a 
real shame. Also I am on the mBraille list and the developer is very responsive 
regarding feedback improvements etc. why not support a good developer and 
something that benefits people.

HI.

does anyone use this app? If so, can someone explain how to add someone to 
remind you if you don’t take your pills? I can see where to put their name etc 
but not where to put a contact number or anything. 
At first glance the app looks pretty accessible. Any ideas?

HI.

I was looking at the what’s new in the latest update to be my eyes.  It said 
something about onboard testing and that it could be accessed by profile and 
then settings. I opened the app after updating and don’t see anything new. 
Anyone have any idea what this is?
My brother can’t see any difference either.

Re: Adding audio books

2014-11-18 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
Hi.

I have chosen to use a third party app to play audio books because I frequently 
found audio books that had the attributes changed and played through the music 
player wouldn’t always play in the correct order.  I found that I had to use 
something like audio book binder or builder or mp3 to iPod converter to make 
the audio book in to a long file.  Now I can simply zip up my file and import 
it in to voice dream reader.  Much less time consuming and every book I have 
tried so far plays in order.

 
Cheers 
Maria

karaoke app?

Hi.

does anyone know of a karaoke app that will let you play your own songs either 
from the songs on your phone, or from your iTunes library? I would like 
something with effects.  I already have and use sing, but the only accessible 
way to get your own songs in to the app, seems to be to record the music and I 
would like something where I can import my own stuff in.

questions about audio boom

2014-10-16 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
Hi.

was looking at the audio boom app, and have a couple of questions.
1. There used to be an option to look at boos from everyone you follow, is this 
option gone?
2. I found a list of people I follow, and was able to click on someone's user 
name and find a list of posts, however, when I double tapped on a boo to play 
it, I was unable to get back to the list of posts.  Is there a way to do this 
without going in to the menu and double tapping my follows and finding the 
person again?
I think that's about it for now.

thanks 
Blessings!

compiling comprehensive bug list from IOS 8 users.

2014-09-24 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.

since my brother and I are both iPhone users, we wanted to do something to help 
get the bugs fixed more quickly in iOS 8.  We are wanting to compile a list of 
bugs people are experiencing.  I know apple vis have compiled a list of bugs, 
but we are wanting to compile a list, as well, so we can point out to apple 
that real people are trying to live with these bugs and use their phone, or 
else haven't updated due to the number of bugs.  Besides I think the more 
emails apple get from users the better.  Also there may be bugs that haven't 
made it to the apple vis list yet as we've noticed from being on various tech 
lists, as people experiment with their phones..  So... to help us in this 
endeavour, we would like anyone experiencing bugs to send us a list of bugs. 
Please be clear about the problem and if possible outline the steps to 
reproducing the bug, in other words what you were doing when the bug occurred, 
your iPhone model etc. or whether you are using voice over, zoom etc. All the 
bug reports you send will be compiled in to one email.  If you wish to have 
your name in the bug report, then feel free to put your name at the bottom of 
the report, if you wish to remain anonymous then, that's fine too.  I know 
there will be another update, but it doesn't hurt to keep accessibility related 
bugs at the four front of their minds.
Please no flaming, or time wasting.  I f you don't think this is a good idea 
simply don't reply.  
Please, reply off list to
bubbygirl1...@gmail.com
 

Cheers 
Maria

backing up iPhone without a computer?

2014-06-21 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.
Hi list.

Am writing this message for a friend.  I don't know the answers as I have 
iTunes and I am using a mac, he is using windows xp and currently doesn't have 
iTunes installed.
ok.
1. We have enabled everything we can find on iCloud, is it possible to back up 
apps this way without installing itunes?
2. We double tapped on the wifi sinc and it said to plug phone in to iTunes and 
select wifi sinc. 
3. Where is this option?
4. If the phone is sinked via wifi, does iTunes have to be kept on the 
computer?  
5. does the computer have to be on while the phone is being sinked wirelessly?
I think that's it if there are any more questions I will ask.

questions about the Kruptos app used to be idisk pluss.

2014-06-19 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.  

there appear to be some new buttons and things in the app that is now Kruptos 
and was idisk plus
firstly, the app used to default to safe mode when scanning for disk space, now 
it defaults to fast mode. Can someone explain the difference, and is the fast 
mode safe?
2. Can someone explain what the incript button does?
3. there is an unlabelled button called star off can someone explain this one?
If no one knows is there a place to get full instructions or a user guide? Have 
been to the developers website and unless it's changed drastically recently, 
there was hardly any information there.
4. what do the on off buttons do?

thanks lots.

face time and iMessage temporarily not working.

2014-05-02 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
Hi.  I have been having some strange problems with iMessage and FaceTime.  It 
periodically stops working.  When this happens I try going in to settings and 
turning either FaceTime and or iMessage  off and then back on. I usually get a 
message asking me to sign in.  I  then have to wait for ages while it says in 
progress and activating.  I then get a message saying could not sign in check 
your network connection and try again. 

After a while everything starts working again.  any ideas?

Re: Spellstack questions.

2014-01-28 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.

there is no way to chat directly in the game that I know of.  A social sharing 
thing comes up at the end of each turn and I think it might be possible to chat 
via that if the person has Facebook or twitter.  Stack with buddies let’s you 
play games with up to 10 players. 

I hope this helps 
Blessings!

Re: Spell Stack

2014-01-17 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
Hi.

as for trying to log in, the only thing you can do is to keep trying.  I get 
the error of spell stack not being able to connect a lot.  I thought it might 
be my internet, but I’m not so sure.  I like to have lots of games on the go in 
case people don’t take their turn so I bought the stack with buddies.  It was 
like 1 dollar 99.
I also bought the option to remove adds.
I hope this helps somewhat.
Warm regards and blessings 
Maria, Joe and FurBabies

Re: Diamond dash

2013-12-03 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
Hi.

it’s not totally accessible but it is playable.  Just tap the play button and I 
think there is a play now or a start button. after that turn voice over off and 
tap away. You will hear sounds they change if you score lots of points.  I 
believe there is a pod cast on apple vis regarding either bubble island or 
diamond dash which will explain this better than I am at the moment.

Re: Experience Descriptive Audio at the Theater with a New iOS App

2013-11-20 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
hopefully, by the time we get it in other countries there will be lots of 
tracks available.  Audio descriptive movies in theatres are getting better but 
only in big centres.  If you live in the country forget it.

Re: DoItWrite: Game play with Numbers Instead of Lower-case?

2013-11-20 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.  Sorry, i kept reading and found a link to a podcast.  I was able to get 
the app.  I have only been able to write my name, so this is amazing.  I don’t 
care that the print isn’t pretty lol I would imagine in an emergency situation 
being able to write with a pen so people can read it could be a life saver. 
Besides the game and being able to write on the iPhone sounds like fun.  I 
still have a way to go.

Re: iOS 7, thoughts?

Hi.  for those of us that like to swipe through apps, the app switcher is a lot 
easier.  there were a lot of times with the old way of using the app switcher 
that I'd flick to an ap and think hmmm I want to open that, but of course I 
couldn't because I was in edit mode so to speak.

Re: logging out of Facebook?

2013-09-28 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.  thanks.

I guess we'll have to use the mobile site until we can figure out how to get me 
off the facebook app. Maybe I'll try delete and reinstall the app and see if it 
gives me an option to sign in. 
Cheers

HI.  thanks I did know how to log out of the mobile site.  My husband is

Re: Siri's performance in IOS7

2013-09-28 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.

I'm actually finding dictation a lot more accurate.  could it possibly be that 
everyone wants to try out the new siri and so the apple servers are overloaded?

Just a thought.

Re: Dont recommend updating to IOS 7

2013-09-19 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.  I am not experiencing these issues.  Not criticising at all. On my 4s the 
focus is a little better I think then it was in iOS 6. Features that I think 
are really good are the control centre, the new notification centre and 
improvements to siri. I like the way siri activates automatically when you've 
dictated a message etc. the karen voice sounds a little strange but I expect 
I'll get used to that. I also like the fact that vo can be turned on and off 
with siri now. Don't know how much I'll use it, but being able to turn the vo 
sounds on  and off is kind of cool as well. Haven't found anything I really 
dislike yet.

Re: Possible bug in face detection announcement

2013-09-19 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI speaking of photos I was scrolling through photos with voice over and it now 
says portrait or landscape orientation and in some cases it said one face and 
blurry, very blurry or crisp.  It said my video was blurry though and I don't 
know how it could know . I don't think our photos are as blurry as it says but 
at least apple is trying in some way to have voice over be more descriptive 
with photos it seems. anyone else getting this?

Re: MBraille - On the road experience

2013-09-06 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
Oh I don't only use it on the road, but when I'm sitting outside or in the 
kitchen or doing email on an iphone or ipad pretty much anywhere.  Also use it 
for long text messages chatting on facebook and simply when dictation fails to 
work for any reason.

Blessings!

Hi.  I don't use a physical keyboard for my iphone for a long time. Or Ipad 
either for that matter. I do have one with an arrow key missing just in case I 
ever need to. If you're a braille user then I think mbraille is the ticket. if 
not there is fleksy.

Hi.

yes.  I am very glad I bought this app.  I use it quite a lot.  Some of the dot 
commands are very useful and from what I can gather on the mbraille list there 
may be more added in the future.
