what app to use to cut and trim audio?
Hi iphone audio enthusiasts, Which app do you use if you want to edit an audio file? I have wave recordings that I edit on my computer, but I’d like to do it on the phone. Is there an IOS app that lets me set a marker, play on, set the second marker and then delete all audio between the markers? I had hokusai, but rewind is broken and with long wave files, over 45 minutes, it crashes. Any app suggestions?

anyone experiencing these braille input problems on ios 9?
Hi listers, Lately, the iphone of a friend who does not read English started acting strangely while inputting braille. We did what we could, as described below. Please think with us.. Here’s what happens. Suddenly, and with no apparent reason so far discovered, when he wants to type braille on the phone, the orientation seems to have changed 180 degrees. That is, in landscape, he used to have the volume buttons facing the floor, resting the phone on his pinkies and keeping it gripped with his thumbs, that is now upside down. I.e.: The volume buttons now have to point to the ceiling and the home button has to point to the right. Second problem now is, that when he types characters that consist only of the 4 upper braille dots, so 1 2 4 and 5, all is well. But any character where either dots 3 and or 6 are involved, the inputted characters do not come out as typed. For instance, an m, as in Mike, becomes an f. An n, as in november, becomes a g. I thought that he needed to recalibrate his dots and so he did, but no change. This dot 3 6 problem gets even more strange, because the letter k, as in kind, becomes a semi colon. In his braille table, dots 2 and 3. That prooves that dot 3 is seen indeed. After a reboot, the problem changes, and then, different characters come out. For instance, then, he can no longer type the a, as in action. That becomes a comma, dot 2. Here’s what he tried to resolve this issue: A sighted person came and looked, with an interesting outcome. It appears that, even though we as braille users now need to hold the phone with the volume buttons facing toward the ceiling, for a sighted person, the dots are still in their original, correct orientation. I.e.: according to his son, dots 1 2 3 are still near the home button, and 4 5 and 6 are toward the speaker end. Still, hitting dot 1 makes the phone think it is dot 4. Recalibration does not help, so we tried the following, with no change in input behaviour. 1. He unlocked the generic iphone screen orientation lock, using the control center screen. 2. He unlocked his voiceover braille orientation lock, using a 3 finger swipe up, while in landscape screen away braille mode. 3. He turned voiceover off and on. 4. He turned the phone off and back on. 5. We held the home button and the on off button for 12 seconds, the iphone rebooted, but no help. What did help, was that he restored his icloud backup a few days old. However, the problem came back today. He did not play any games, nor did anything provocative to the phone, such as installing or removing apps, or changing any setting, hoping to catch the problem if it returned. But it seems he just used the phone to answer and write his email, sms and i messages. So, finally we are turning to you listers. Any other suggestions on what might be going on here are very welcome. We seem to be out of options. Please drop me a line if you have the slightest idea what to try next.

ipad recorder app to record audio book
Hi listers, I’m looking for an audio recorder app that les me record spoken audio on an ipad. In particular, I’m looking for a specific punch-in function also found in daisy software, and I hope someone can give me a pointer to such a recorder app. What microphone and connection to use is a different matter. I’m hoping to find a suitable recorder first. In Daisy software on windows, here’s what’s possible. A human reader reads a big chunk of text as audio into the computer’s hard disk. When the reader makes a mistake, what I need is something to easily back up in time and resume recording, starting the record just before the mistake. In a daisy creation tool, Once a human reader makes a mistake, you can easily rewind and go back through audio while you hear the audio playing, like rewinding on a CD player, then you release the rewind button, so that the audio plays again, and then at the exact point in time, just before the mistake happened, the person operating the computer hits the record button, and the reader resumes reading. Windows programs like sigtuna or lp studio pro can do it, but so far, I have not come across any other tool that can do this, nor on a computer, nor on an ipad. Still, I suppose there are many tools on the market that make book reading and recording easy. Does any of you know if something close exists for the iphone or ipad, where you can: 1. rewind through the audio and hear the audio playing as you rewind, 2. Hit record during playback, after which the audio after the play head is discarded, and overwritten with the new material. Very curious to find out.

wav to mp3 converter for ios?
Hi listers, Do you know of an audio converter for the iphone at all? What I do daily, but still on my mac and not yet on the phone, is take wave files, and convert those into mp3. I’d like to do that on the phone. In apps like winzip, and also in file browser, both on IOS, I have access to my dropbox, from which I can download files, process them locally on the phone, and upload them back up to dropbox. If I could then convert wave files into mp3, and then put them back in dropbox, that would be awesome. Do you know of an app that can do this? Regards, Paul. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

Re: Workflow App: Tedious to Use, but Worth It
Hi Alex, Hall, In a podcast, the workflow app was brought to my attention as well. There is not much that I’d like to automate, but here’s one situation. Do you think the workflow app is suitable for the following? I have list recorder installed. This lets you record audio, organize it etc etc. One repetitive task I’m doing daily again and again is, that I need to get my recordings into dropbox. To do this, in list recorder, I need to hit share, in a new dialog the audio functions button, then in a new dialog the open in button, then in a new dialog the dropbox button. To begin with, is this automatable using workflow to begin with? Once list recorder starts transferring the recording over to the dropbox app, dropbox itself opens. I then need to enter my password, then I need to hit save in the upper right corner of the dropbox iphone app, and then the upload to the dropbox.com http://dropbox.com/ site begins. Next, I need to switch back to list recorder, do a back button, and then the workflow is finished for this file. As you see, it takes a lot of tapping, flicking, and switching apps. Is this a scenario that the workflow app can automate? Very curious, because this process is tedious. Hope to hear back. Regards, Paul.

Here's the AppleVis page for it: http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/workflow-powerful-automation-made-simple I've spent a few days with it, and once I worked out how to use it, it became possible to make workflows. There are VoiceOver bugs, but the developers want to gather feedback and fix those. I'm hoping an update in the next few months will make what is already a usable app into one that is easy and fun, just as it is for sighted people. Even now, though, it is possible to make workflows. The one I just completed is a vibrating timer. You give it a value (6 or over) and it vibrates your phone ad intervals to let you know how much time has passed. It vibrates twice when a quarter of your time is gone, twice again halfway, twice again at three quarters, three times when you have one minute, and finally four times when time is up. A friend on Twitter gave me the idea, and he uses a similar setup to silently keep track of the time during speeches, meetings, etc. So long as you know how long you have, this can use vibrations to keep you on track. What I just described sounds like an app, but it's not. It uses the Workflow app to run, but it sits on my home screen and I can launch it, type in my time and off it goes. Workflow allows you to automate saving or downloading files, making or sharing calendar appointments or reminders, emailing, and tons more. It's currently $3, and if this is the kind of thing you're into, I suggest picking it up. The app is, as I said, currently usable with VO if you work around the issues it has, but the team is seeking feedback from VO users and hopes to improve things in the near future. I'm not part of this app in any way, I just really like what it can do and wanted to spread the word. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com mailto:mehg...@icloud.com mailto:mehg...@icloud.com mailto:mehg...@icloud.com -- The following
Re: need some major help with icloud, need to restore my phone
Hey Jed, I just restored mine 2 days ago. Of course, before you go ahead and take the plunge, it's always best to backup using itunes. Having said that: 1. Wipe your phone back to factory settings. To do this, settings, general, reset, and then choose to wipe all content and media. Confirm a couple of times, enter your Apple ID when prompted in case you had find my iphone turned on, and the phone reboots. Let it do its thing. It takes a few minutes. I just had it on the table while I made coffee. Then when I came back, the phone was off. You can verify that by flicking the mute switch. If it vibrates, the phone is on. If not, it's off. It should be off before you continue. 2. Boot. Hold the power switch a few seconds and then let go, just as if you turn it on the usual way. Now though, you will land in the installation screens. Just enable voiceover with a triple click home, and it will talk. You will hear several languages pass by. Just double tap, and you can select your region etc. You don't need to wait untill American English comes by again. Just double tap, when voice after voice welcomes you to the installation in several languages in sequence. If you haven't heard this before, just listen and explore for a while. It's fun if you've never seen it. You will then be asked to turn on or off location services, log in to your wifi etc. 3. When asked, don't install as a new iphone. Instead, choose to restore from an icloud backup. You can then double tap the most recent icloud backup, and restore will start. 4. First, your settings will be restored. This takes some 5 to ten minutes or so. When complete, the phone reboots, but restore is not done yet. 5. Don't do anything yet. VoiceOver comes on by itself, and it will look like you have your phone back. All icons and folders on the home screens are in place etc. This is not the case though, because icloud is still pumping data into your phone. You cannot exactly track progress, although there is a work around. The process took me 3 hours here, and then all is good to go. Done. 3 Notes on the above. 1. I made the mistake of trying to open and run apps, while the restore was still in progress. Don't do that. You may mess things up. Worse, also do not try to download apps from the app store, as long as they have not restored from your icloud backup yet. I did that, and I had to start over because of data loss. 2. To check progress during restore, here is what you can do. Under settings, icloud, backup, the bottom line on the screen says that icloud is still restoring data. If this disappears, restore is complete. Another way to check progress, is settings, general, usage. You will see the amount of free space go down gradually. 3. The restore process sometimes got stuck on my phone. If after 20 minutes the free space no longer decreases, and icloud still says data is being restored, then you can safely reboot your phone, and then the process will pick up from where it left off. Beautiful. Hth, Paul. On Sep 25, 2014, at 11:27 AM, Jed Barton jedbar...@gmail.com wrote: sure does, can you restore from the phone?

Does that show any newer backups? Not overly sure why it would do, but it has to be worth a go. As a side note, whilst iCloud backup is handy, this is exactly why I choose to do local backups before I restore. Sure it's nice to know that there will in theory be a remote copy of most of your things, but given the fairly small amount of time required to backup locally every now and again it seems like a no brainer to me.

iphone game: blindfold racer
Hi folks, Just in case you did not yet come across it: blindfold racer is a very nice audio game. It's free. Take a look in the IOS app store if you're curious. I discovered it this weekend.

1password for iphone, password copy using VoiceOver
Dear listers, Today I found out something about 1password that I thought I'd share. Question was: when using 1password on the iphone, how do I copy a certain password over to another application? Say you're inside the passwords tab sheet, or section. There you have a list of assigned text labels that indicate what each password is for, and if you double tap one using VoiceOver, you land in a new screen where you can see the password in question. Below it is the toggle to require master password authentication but instead, look at the password itself. VoiceOver will just read it, meaning it is not currently selected. Now, if you double tap the password, it becomes selected, and if you flick left or right, nothing appears to have changed on the screen. However, a sighted person told me that if you now touch just above the password, you'll find something that says: copy, menu item. You won't find this menu item using flick gestures. From here on it's easy: just double tap copy, and the password will go to the ios clipboard. Close 1password, go into another app and there into a text field, have the rotor on edit, flick down till you find paste, double tap it and you're done. Nice to know. A question in this regard is, what it means that we hear VoiceOver say: menu item. Could this imply that there are more items on the screen than just the word copy? I don't find any other items, and flicking while the VoiceOver cursor is on the copy menu item doesn't help me further. So what do you do when you encounter such a menu item? Can we reach other options from there? I tried the rotor to find a clue, but no luck, so I'm interested to hear if you know this.

ios garageband recording issues
Dear listers, When recording in garageband for ios, there's something I encounter that I don't know how to work right. If you use ios garageband regularly, you may know the answers. It's about undoing recordings and merging new material in. When hitting the record button, garageband recoards what you are doing for 8 measures. It's 8 measures, because the default length for a region is 8 bars. After that, recording stops, the playhead wraps to the beginning of the region, and you can continue playing, but it won't be recorded any longer. This situation is not what you want, when attempting to get a track done. Because once you have recorded something, 4 out of 5 times, you will want to redo it, because playing on glass is not easy. How do I undo what I just recorded? Second, once I know how to undo my recording of the latest region, and then re recoard it till it's right, can I also merge newly played material with something already recorded in the region in the current track? It seems that every time I record the same region on the same track, my new keystrokes will replace what's already there, while I want to play on top of the existing region. Here's what I'm trying to do. I have chords needing a left and a right hand. So I'm not using the automated stuff here, because the chords I have are not the straight forward ones that garageband has to offer. Therefore, I would like to first record the right hand, and do that over and over till I get it exactly right, and then on top of that, record the left hand, blending the left hand with what was already recorded in the track for the right hand. I need to merge, because on the iphone you only have 9 hole notes on the glass keyboard, while the range I want to play spans multiple octaves. How do you folks handle this situation? Does garageband for the mac handle recording in the same way the ios garageband does it, like I described above? If so, how do you go about recording, undoing, re recording a take, and then merging in new stuff till the region contains what you want? I'm very curious for your answers, because I've been playing and trying for some ten days now, hoping the coin would drop in at any moment, but I have not succeeded so far. Yet it must be possible to create decent things in ios. Hoping to hear back. Kind regards, Paul. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

I wrote Apple accessibility about it, with steps to get into the note editor and explaining the inaccessible part, and they replied they will look into it. From the mail I received, it looks like they confirm there is a problem in the midi note editor in ios garageband, but of course they cannot promise when or if at all, it's going to be fixed. I'm writing this so you know that spending time trying to get the midi note editor to work is not going to give you useful results, but now that Apple is aware of it, we may hope it will change sooner or later.

ios 6 calendar bug, no events?
Dear listers, Can any of yu confirm the following? When moving your finger across the month view of calendar on ios 6, then all my days seem to be empty. However, I'm sure I put in all kinds of events. When I then tap a day that says no events, and I then look in the bottom part of the screen, all my events for that day do show up, even though the month view announces that day as empty. Can you reproduce this? I'd rather not bug apple accessibility, unless I'm sure I found a real bug, and not something I don't understand. Please try it if you use the ios 6 calendar. I'm interested to hear your findings. Paul. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Restrictions and Apps
Hi Victor, This was very helpful. I want my password to be asked for, each time someone, me or someone else here, uses the app store on my phone. Thanks for sharing. Paul. On Sep 22, 2012, at 4:43 AM, Victor Marques victormarques0...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I have discovered that the Require Password setting in the Restrictions panel of general settings affects whether a password is required not just for paid apps, but for free apps and updates as well. If you set this to Immediately, a password is required for all app store transactions, be they free or even for updates. On the other hand, the default 15 minutes setting will not require a password for non paid downloads. Hope this is interesting to some of you.

do not disturb, what is the entire story?
Dear listers, Since ios 6, we can now keep calls from coming through, if we need that. But how do I handle the situation where I want to use my alarm on the phone to wake me up? While I'm sleeping, I only want the alarm to sound, and no calls at all, no app sounds at all, other than my wake up alarm. Is this possible? Setting the mute switch to off, will that also surpress the alarm? Does do not disturb mode have anything to do with this? What is the complete story here? I don't quite understand this yet, and to wake up, I stil use my old Nokia. I'd like to use my iphone for it though. Any additional explanation is appreciated.

Re: ios 6 calendar bug, no events?
Hi Scott, Nice tip. I switched from month view to day view and back, and suddenly, the issues seems to be solved. Good idea. I think we need to look at this further, to see if it comes back at all, and if there's a fix that always does it. I'll post here if I know more. I'd rather tell Apple the whole story so they can reproduce and hopefully fix it more easily. Best, Paul.

in ios6, the hq voice is gone
Dear listers, Is any of you experiencing the following? After updating to ios 6, I now have the compact voice talking from voiceover. Is this indeed what Apple wants? Did they do away with the premium voices, the high quality ones, or are they still there and am I missing something? In settings, general, accessibility, voiceover, there used to be an option to either use the compact or the premium, way better sounding voice for voiceover output, but this option is no longer there, and I now have the compact voice instead of the nice one. Is that your experience as well? Anything we can do about it? Paul. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Passwords
Hi Jenny, I'm starting to use 1password for iphone. It can do lots of good things for you, but best of all it has a secret notes section. To open 1password, you need a 4-digit unlock code. To further open the secure notes inside 1password, you need your 1password master key. So even if someone grabs your phone, they won't get to your secret notes. 1Password is not free, it's around 10 dollars as far as I remember. Hth, Paul.

1password for ios
Dear listers, I downloaded 1password on to my iphone but I'm sort of stuck. If you're using it, could you please answer a few of my questions, if you know an answer? 1. When inside the add tab, I have a choice to enter several types of log ins. What is the difference between a login and an account? 2. When double tapping add login, the screen is not very clear to me. It looks like this. I'll say click when a new line begins. Add login, heading, click. Regular login, click. Popular login templates, heading. Selected, add, tab, one of two. Settings, tab, two of two. That's it. The only tappable item is regular login. If popular login templates is indeed a heading, I would think there are more choices below it. But there are none. Not only do I not find them while I flick across, but also when exploring the iphone screen by touch. Below those templates, there's nothing. Double tapping the heading named popular login templates itself, does nothing. What am I missing here? I'm just getting started with 1password, and from google, I got a message from way back on this list, saying 1password is accessible. I'm curious to find out other things about this ios app, but I'll leave it at this for this message. Interested to hear back from anyone.

Re: Simplest Way to Convert ITunes music files to mp3or for use on the Victor Reader Stream
Hi listers, Once you have a bunch of songs converted, all songs of course show up twice in the itunes library. One AAC, and one mp3 version. What is the quickest way to get rid of all AAC files, or all mp3 files, in one go? Now, I need to find each song, hit command i for info, check if it's the right file I want to delete, i.e. mp3 or AAC, close the info window and then delete that one song from my itunes library. Imagine I convert an album with over 30 tracks, that's a lot of steps to delete all old files that are no longer needed after conversion. Any idea on how to do this more efficiently? Paul.
