RE: BARD App

[Steve Cook]

Hi All, 

 

I received the below message back from BARD on Friday for a work around. I 
wrote them back and thanked them for the update, but I normally listen to my 
books at 250%. I will just keep using the magic tap until this issue has been 
resolved. 

 

Hi,

In following up about this issue, a workaround for now is to set the playback 
speed to the default of 100%. That should allow you to control app playback 
with your headset.

Hi All, 

 

Wanted to check with others before reporting this. I use the Open Com Blue 
Tooth headset with my iPhone 14 for reading books. With the latest update, I 
have noticed when pressing the button to stop play back, this no longer works. 
Is anyone else experiencing this? I have cleared the app switcher and restarted

Shortcut to Join a Zoom Meeting on the Home Screen

[Steve Matzura]

I want to create a shortcut which, when activated, will open Zoom and 
join a meeting. Of course, I have the meeting URL, but how do I put that 
on an iOS home screen or make a Siri-activatable shortcut to do it? If I 
paste that link into Safari, it works, but that's already too much work 
because the person for whom I am creating this shortcut has become quite 
cognitively and mechanically impaired and needs something really easy 
that'll just work with no fuss or bother which they can no longer do.

RE: [External] Re: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

['Cook, Steve' via VIPhone]

Catching up on messages and read several below in this string.

I have the Open Com headset and would like to know how do you connect them to 2 
different devices and then use them. Here at work I have my personal iPhone and 
also my agency iPhone and would like to connect them to both iPhones. Then use 
each when receiving calls.

How do you lock one device to connect to another?  I've never ran into a 
problem like this, but would like to have a note about it in case I do.  Thanks

I don't know about the OPenFit, but both the OpenRun and OpenComm if you pair 
to two devices, you have to be sure and lock the device you are not using, then 
as soon as you start using the other device, it comes over the headset.
I've done that with my iPad and iPhone on those.
I would think the OPenFit should work the same.
But, should and does are often quite different.

Does anyone on this list who has the open fit headphones have a full proof way 
of changing from one paired device to the other paired device, assuming you 
have two devices paired? I can’t do it. My iPhone just will not reconnect.

Hello loyal Menus4ALL Customer,

We are thrilled to announce that Menus4ALL has secured new contracts with our 
vendors, which means the app is back in the Apple App Store without having to 
increase our prices. Your Apple Account will remain unaffected.

We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming support and well wishes we have 
received from you in the past week. Your kind words and prayers have shown us 
that success comes to those who work hard and put in their best effort. It 
reminds me of something my mother always said: where there is a will, there is 
a way. And when you need help, God puts the right people in your path. Thank 
you for being there for us.

We are aware that many of you have expressed a desire to lend a hand. One of 
the best and easiest ways to assist Menus4ALL is to spread the word about our 
app. If you enjoy using it, please share it with others. If you would like to 
join our board and help us plan marketing strategies, find partnerships, and 
work smarter, please reach out to us. We appreciate your support and together, 
we can make sure that everyone who can benefit from the independence and joy 
this app provides does not miss out.

 

Thank you for supporting Menus4ALL, 


Helen Fernety and Stephanie Jones

Subject: Menus4ALL - App to be discontinued on Feb 28, 2024

 

Dear Menus4ALL customers and supporters,

 

It is with heavy hearts that Stephanie and I announce the discontinuation of 
the iPhone Menus4ALL app effective February 28, 2024. 

 

Over the past year, we have been proud to offer over 1,000,000 US and 80,000 
Canadian accessible restaurant menus to our customers. We believe that our app 
has not only increased independence but also added joy to special occasions, 
such as dates, holidays, anniversaries, and birthdays at restaurants. 
Unfortunately, due to low sales, we can no longer provide this service. 

 

However, we remain hopeful that someone else will create a similar app to 
support the accessibility needs of our customers. As an alternative, we 
recommend using Aira <https://aira.io>  and Be My AI 
<https://www.bemyeyes.com/blog/introducing-be-my-ai>  to fulfill your 
accessible restaurant menu needs. 


 

If you have an annual subscription, please feel free to cancel. If you have a 
monthly subscription, Apple will not bill you any further. As we are a vendor 
of Apple, everything must be handled through your App Store account. 

 

To learn more visit our website <http://www.menus4all.com> . Thank you for 
supporting this groundbreaking product,

Hable One

[Steve Cook]

Hi All, 

 

Please feel free to share with everyone! 

 

The SC Computer Science & Technology Division would like to invite you to a 
presentation about the Hable One keyboard! We will have a representative from 
the company to demo the Hable One keyboard and then take questions. Read more 
about the Hable One keyboard below the Zoom information. 

 

When: Monday, January 15, 2024

Time: 1:00 PM Eastern

The Hable One is an external keyboard designed to make using a smartphone 
simpler and more convenient for those with visual impairments.

 

Effortless smartphone navigation with Hable

 

With its intuitive touch commands, navigating your device has never been 
easier. Hable One is small enough to take with you wherever you go, and its 
impact on your daily device use will be life-changing.

 

Hable allows you to easily understand the touch screen, different types of 
taps, and swipes, making it easily accessible. The simplicity of commands also 
makes it user-friendly for elderly individuals who may have difficulty with 
more complex swiping movements.

 

With Voice Control, a modern Braille System, Physical Buttons, and a long 
Battery Life of up to a month, Hable One is a great solution for all!

Pictures

[Steve Cook]

Hi All, 

 

People send me pictures for our NFBofSC.org website taken on their iPhones.
How can I have them change the picture type to a >JPG file type before
sending to me for our website? Also, is it possible for me to change my file
type on my iPhone for the default file format for pictures to be .JPG?

17.1 just made iOS worse

[Steve Matzura]

I've been waiting for 17.1 to come out to hopefully fix bugs I'd heard 
about and preferred not to experience. So imagine the look on my face 
when after upgrading from 16.7.2 to 17.1 I said "Siri, open mail," and 
was answered with "which one, phone or mail?". Rather surprised, I 
answered "mail," and was immediately told something went wrong, please 
try again later. Well, later hasn't come yet, because if I tell it to 
open mail, I get the same thing.



Also, I discovered that instead of playing a sound when I press and hold 
the side button on my 14 Pro Max, I get the double-buzz like you would 
get if VoiceOver weren't running. Haven't yet found a way to reverse 
this one.



But seriously, opening mail fails? Gimmy back my 16.7.2.

Recordings

[Steve Cook]

Hi All, 

 

When using an app, I would like to record what VO is announcing as I am
moving around the screen. This recording would be shared with others for
demo purposes. How would I go about doing this on an iPhone 14 running
version 16?

 

Thanks for your assistance!

RE: Using Voicevista for turn by turn directions

[Steve Cook]

Using VoiceVista, is their way you can set the app to announce what is ahead of 
you by moving the phone instead of tapping the button? With Sound Scape we were 
able to do this.

I do use Good Maps Outdoors, but I was just trying to compare the two, I guess 
to see if I like Voice Vista any better.

Exactly, so my question is whether you can use VoiceVista for turn by turn 
directions, and if so, how would you do it since the route tab doesn’t seem to 
be the way to go. Maybe you need to use voiceVista in conjunction with 
something like Apple Maps.

I don't think it does that. It looks to me like you have to have dropped a 
bunch of waypoints along a route and then you can create a route out of those 
waypoints. It says on the route screen:

 

 

Create a route for yourself or for someone else by organizing a set of markers 
as waypoints on a route. While out on your route with VoiceVista, you will be 
informed on arrival to each waypoint, and the Audio Beacon will automatically 
advance to the next waypoint.

define and name a route.

If anyone is using iMazing for windows with an iPhone, I am considering buying

the phone.


I realize that eventually changes in the operating system may make an old 
version stop working but its one way to buy some time if you really need the

I disagree, I have never had my iPhone update entirely by itself if I didn't 
want it to. I have a friend in Germany who has an iPhone SE 2020 which is 
certainly capable of running iOS 16.4, but for some reason he wants to stay on 
iOS 15 right now and that is what he is on. I think sometimes people accidently 
tap something not realizing they just agreed to having an update install later, 
but you do have to enter your PIN and tap on "I Agree" at least I have never 
done an iOS update since my first iOS device in 2009 where this was not the 
case and it's now easier than ever to avoid updates if you don't want them.

Hi folks:

It’s been my experience that the updates to the Apple iPhone iPad the computer 
being the Mac, will only delay the updates. Sooner or later it will update on 
its own there’s no way to block them indefinitely. I’ve tried on my own phone 
and I picked it up one day and found it updating on its own even if the 
automatic update feature is turned off. Just thought I would let folks know 
that so please be aware of that

Have a happy and safe Easter weekend.

I actually like eloquence.  I've been using it on my computers for years.  I 
even had E-speek as my iPhone voice over voice for a while because it could go 
so fast.  Eloquence doesn't sound quite as good on the iPhone, as it does on my 
computer, but pretty close.  I would have no problem having eloquence for 
reading a bookshare book to me.
However, there are some great voices to choose from.  There are even children 
voices from acapela.  Although having one of those voices read a bookshare book 
to me I think would be a little weird.

Though Gmail can filter incoming mail, the process for creating the

Re: Importing a folder of MP3 files into Voice Dream Reader

[Steve Matzura]

The action to get a ZIP archive of MP3 files into VDR is neither import 
nor export; it's share. You must share the ZIP archive file with VDR, 
and as of iOS 16, VDR is not on the default share sheet screen until you 
press the More button toward the bottom. You can do this from the native 
Files application, but I bought File Browser just because I like the 
interface better, but they both do effectively the same thing.

Re: Accessible crossword puzzle apps

[Steve Matzura]

First thing to do is to read the seven little clues and se what words 
you can come up with which might be the answers. You can do these one at 
a time, of course. The next thing to do is, for each word you think you 
know, start looking at the word fragments to find  the beginning letters 
of the word, double-tap that, then continue until you've spelled the 
word. I find it a lot of fun and a challenge. But then again, I like 
Rubik's Cubes with twenty-five squares on a side instead of just nine. 
LOL. Hahaha, just kdding. 7LW isn't nearly as hard as Rubik's cube, and 
you get to improve your vocabulary at the same time.

Hi All, 

 

I have an iPhone 14 with the latest update. In zoom, how can I share my screen 
as the host when demonstrating an app so people in the meeting can hear my 
VoiceOver?

 

Thanks and have a great day!

Ha, an interesting take. I've been a programmer for a long, long, very long

This announcement is happening because somewhere in the programming

Now that I think about it, I encountered this announcement very early

It is just a VoiceOver programming glitch in so far as the developers
inadvertently failed to suppress VoiceOver from announcing this

So, not to worry, this has happened in the past and will, from

Re: Can I read MP3 books in my iPhone?

[Steve Matzura]

They're essentially the same kind of thing. They're both folders on your 
devices. They both store files elsewhere. On the computer side, or in 
the computer's case, files can get stored locally if you want them to 
be, but on tablets and phones they are not ever stored locally because 
if you have a large Dropbox you don't have that much storage in a phone 
or tablet, therefore everything accessed online.

There are a few ways to transfer files to and from an iOS or iPadOS 
device, some geekier than others:


1. Via Dropbox

By far the easiest way is to put Dropbox on every computer, phone and 
tablet you own. Just like iCloud, put something in Dropbox on one 
device, it appears on all the others.


2. Purchase an external drive and adapter and use an application to 
read that drive on your phone or tablet.


Attach the drive to your computer, load it up with whatever you want, 
then plug it into your phone and transfer the files from the drive to 
the phone using the Files or File Browser application.

On the iOS or iPadOS device, open Files or File Browser (if you have 
that application) and add a network share as appropriate. You'll need 
the IP address of your computer, and a username/password to access it. 
It's the same username/password you use to log into it for normal use. 
If you don't log in to your Windows machine but, as I do, have the 
thing come up at the Desktop and you've forgotten your username, you 
can get that from Control Panel by searching for "user" and choosing 
the appropriate option. Set up your Windows network share to be as 
inclusive as you like because only you have access to it over your 
local area network. Even those who visit your network won't have 
access to it because they will presumably not know the password to 
that system even if they know your username, so you're secure.

If the mp3 files are labeled in such a way that they will play in
the right order, like chapter01.mp3, chapter02.mp3 etc., my
favorite way to do this is to zip the files into one .zip file
with the name of the book as the file name, then import it into
Voice Dream Reader.

Voice Dream Reader will take a zipped audio book and use the file
name as the name of the book and each file then will be its own
chapter and you can pause and come back to where you left off, you
can drop bookmarks, etc.

Others may have suggestions too.

Re: Can I read MP3 books in my iPhone?

[Steve Matzura]

There are a few ways to transfer files to and from an iOS or iPadOS 
device, some geekier than others:



1. Via Dropbox


By far the easiest way is to put Dropbox on every computer, phone and 
tablet you own. Just like iCloud, put something in Dropbox on one 
device, it appears on all the others.



2. Purchase an external drive and adapter and use an application to read 
that drive on your phone or tablet.



Attach the drive to your computer, load it up with whatever you want, 
then plug it into your phone and transfer the files from the drive to 
the phone using the Files or File Browser application.



3. From a Mac, just use iCloud Drive, or see below for how to set up a 
network share:



4. Set up a network share on the system with the files to which you want 
access:



Here's how to do it from the gospel according to Microsoft:

An Apple Music Annoyance

[Steve Matzura]

Get hits: If you're on a Zoom conference, you probably know it's 
possible to share audio from other applications via the share screen 
dialog on iOS, iPadOS and MacOS. But I'll bet you didn't know that it 
only works on the Mac. Try it. If you do, only you can hear the track 
playing. I'm wondering, Apple's problem or Zoom's? Apple technikcal 
support was unaware of the problem and won't take ownership of it, and 
of course Zoom says it's an Apple problem. Lovely.

Share Sheet in iOS 16.2 Is Different

[Steve Matzura]

I know I saw messages about this in here recently, but because I hadn't 
updated to iOS 16.2, their relevance escaped me. But when I did, which 
was just yesterday, I discovered that Voice Dream Reader is no longer 
available on the share sheet for ZIP files. I've gotten around it by 
adding those ZIP archived audio things through VDR, but that has 
presented its own problem--namely, once I'm in the list of files I want 
to add and have added them, how do I get out and back to VDR's main 
screen? There's no "Back" button anywhere. So I guess I have two 
problems. Oy! Any help grately appreciated.

Re: The HEOS app, to control Denon receivers, is very accessible

[Steve Matzura]

I have a DRA-800 and an old application for it I got when I bought the 
receiver two Christmases ago. What's the name of the one you of which 
you are liking the accessibility? I don't have my phone in my hand at 
this moment, but I'll find out what mine is and report back. I'm also 
wondering if it's the same application for all their receivers and you 
just have to pick the one to work with from a list of possibles. I'm 
hoping that's so because as I remember, the application for the DRA-800 
wasn't all that great. However, that being said, I can tell my Amazon 
device to play anything through it thanks to an Amazon skill designed 
especially for it, but I don't believe I can control the receiver with 
that skill, just play Amazon-accessible content through it.

I just wanted to report back to say that I did upgrade the receiver in 
my home theater system, and the HEOS app which is used to control my 
Denon receiver is nicely accessible. Not only that, but it’s 
beautifully laid out and intuitive. The obvious and most frequent 
things you’d want to do with your receiver are right there, but it’s 
easy to drill down and get to those more sophisticated settings. I 
haven’t checked everything out yet, but everything I’ve done so far 
has been a piece of cake!

Is this a potential security problem?

[Steve Matzura]

Often I hear stories in the news of people who are mugged and their 
phones stolen. If someone's phone is stolen, what's to prevent the 
mugger from snatching the phone, holding the phone up to their face, and 
unlocking it with Face ID, then taking off and disappearing with an 
unlocked phone and access to all the information contained therein? If a 
visually impaired person loses their phone, this is not an unlikely 
scenario as the mugger can take the device and just wait around and 
follow the visually impaired person without them knowing it, then, when 
the time is right, whip out the phone and get it unlocked without the 
owner ever even knowing it happened. Might it not be a bad idea to 
disable unlocking with Face ID? Or am I just being New York paranoid?

Re: To use app switcher is still 3-finger swipe up?

[Steve Matzura]

You're both talking at cross-purposes.


1. To engage the App Switcher, place one finger at the bottom center of 
the screen and swipe up quickly. As your finger slides upward, three 
distinct vibrations will be felt, and if sound effects are turned on, 
three rising tones will be heard. The first of these is the Home Screen, 
the second I forgot, and the third is the App Switcher.



2. Since iOS 15, the App Switcher now shows two views of open 
applications. One is a read-only list, the other contains actionable 
items. If you want to close an open application, find it in the list of 
items where VoiceOver actually says "Active," then swipe up with three 
fingers to close it. This is the three-finger gesture about which you 
are asking.

Was it working for you with IOS 15? If so then you shouldn’t be doing 
anything wrong, since it should work exactly the same. Put your finger 
at the very bottom of the screen and then move it up until you feel 
the second vibration. Lift your


Finger, and you should be in the App Switcher. When you try this 
gesture, what are you getting?

Hello

Since I have iOS 16 this command is not working for me, or perhaps am 
I doing anything wrong?

Re: What can I do about "Haptic touch"?

NaviLens is a high-density artificial markers system for long distance reading.

 

The tags generated by this system are designed in order to be read from a long 
distance, without the need of focusing and even in motion. This makes them 
useful for blind and low vision people. All you need to do is to point the 
camera of the device to a tag in order to quickly read its contents.

 

The application has a new sound system with which a blind person can locate the 
label in the space with precision, without the need for headphones.

 

Below is a link on YouTube that give you a brief description of the app.

Re: Is BARD 2 fully operational or broken?

Yes, I did read the system message about transitioning and possibly slow 
updates, but that was days ago.



Yes, I'm on BARD 2.00.806.

Did you update your app?

Give it another try as sometimes the wish list is also slow to populate.  If it 
is still showing empty, try tomorrow, then contact your regional library.  They 
may know something more.

Subject: [BlindApples] BARDMobile virtually not usable after System network 
warning

 

Hello,

After getting a warning this morning that NLS was aware books are taking longer 
to upload due to some structural changes they are making, etc., and hitting OK 
to get back to my book, BARD is useless!

There is no rewind button, there is an unlabeled button that ends up being the 
jump to next part, chapter, etc.  The Fast Forward is labeled FF.

There is no Speed control slider.

None of the tabs along the bottom work.

I cleared the app switcher and rebooted the phone.  Nothing changed.

I deleted the app.

It was a nightmare getting logged back in.  I had to toggle VO off a couple of 
times to proceed.

Once signed back in, I was able to go to previous downloads and redownload the 
book, The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett, our book club  book for October.  
However, there is no difference.  The app is useless.

 

IN this case, I found that Bookshare has the same recording, just added on 
September 28, 2022.  So, I can get back to the book with the same reader in the 
same lace I was and not having to switch to the synthesized voice since I am 
used to the reader, and like her very much.

I wrote NLS immediately.

 

If you get the warning about their network, I hope you don’t end up in the same 
mess, but I suspect you may.

 

 

Richard, USA.

Re: Voiceover applying phonetic alphabet when spelling out a word

[Steve Matzura]

Doesn't that speak the phonetic alphabet word a couple seconds after 
speaking the letter, like "A, several seconds pause, Alpha?" I'd like it 
to be in phonetic spell mode until I turn it off, not just moving 
through the word and having to wait after hearing each individual 
letter. For example, I'd like to toggle phonetic spelling on, then hear 
"Tango hotel echo" as I move through the word, not "t, pause, tango,h, 
pause, hotel, e, pause, echo." Is that a feature?

You’re right. Since I’m already subscribed to the $5 a month package, I can’t 
bring up the page I looked at when I subscribed, but now when I click on the 
subscribe button, it just gives me the option to upgrade to NFL Plus Premium, 
and there it’s pretty clear that you need Premium to listen to replays of 
games, and you’re right, that’s $10 a month.

Did I understand that the NFL plus package that allows rewatching games etc. is 
$9.99 but the basic plan is the $4.99 plan?
I'm personally sticking with SiriusXM at least through my free trial that ends 
November 4.

OK, I signed up for the NFL Plus free trial, and things worked pretty much as 
they did the season before last season. Here’s what I did:

  1.  I brought up the NFL app.
  2.  I had to go into the Scores tab to get a game started. I couldn’t figure 
out how to do this from the NFL Plus tab.
  3.  In the Scores tab, I double tapped on the game I was interested in. In 
this case, it was the Giants at Patriots.
  4.  I then had to double tap on the Watch tab.
  5.  Here I could double tap on the home broadcast, which was the Patriots, or 
I could double tap on the listen live options, where I could double tap on the 
away feed.
  6.  At this point the broadcast comes up, but you won’t hear anything because 
the audio volume is set to 0. I unmuted the audio by hitting the volume up 
button.
  7.  Now you can listen to the game but the player is totally inaccessible, so 
there’s no way to play/pause or fast forward/rewind.

Like I said, this was pretty much how things worked the season before last. 
Last season, the problem was that the volume buttons wouldn’t unmute the audio, 
so there was no way for me to listen to the game unless I had a sighted person 
around who could tap on the unmute button in the inaccessible player.

SiriusXM is a much more enjoyable way to listen to a game, but it is $12 
instead of $5 a month. I did see the option in the Watch tab to relisten to a 
game, but I haven’t tried that yet!

Bluetooth Speaker With Microphone

['Cook, Steve' via VIPhone]

Hi All, 

Before I search on Amazon, LOL. 

Is anyone currently using a BluTooth speaker connected to their iPhone with a 
microphone built in to the speaker?  Thanks in advance!

Recordings From DropBox

[Steve Cook]

Hi All, 

I hope someone can help with this. I use DropBox and I send a person a link 
from my DropBox folder to download a recording of a meeting. They attempt to 
access the recording on their iPhone. How would they go about downloading the 
entire recording to their iPhone? 

Thanks for your help!

Steve

it always has but now it vibrates too.  Does anyone know how I can stop this

Hello, list:

I have an IPhone SE 2020 using version 15.1  In previous versions, I could hold 
the phone away from my ear and the phone would switch to speaker phone.  Now it 
doesn’t.  Even if I move the volume up, it is still in my ear and not on 
speaker.  If I’m outside near traffic, I cannot hear a conversation, but if I 
go indoors, I can hear the phone close to my ear.  What do I do to change this, 
or has Apple changed the feature?  Very frustrating.  Thanks in advance.

Re: File Browser Problem Fixed

[Steve Matzura]

Hard to explain, except that there are fewer controls and the ones that 
exist are mostly openable menus where you choose other things after you 
find the file or directory on which you wish to operate. I don't know 
what else to say except that it's all in the feel of the thing. 
Essentially, both appplications offer the same set of abilities--to open 
and move files around on your local network, but like anything else, 
it's all about how it feels to actually use one application over another 
that does exactly the same thing as that other one.

Re: is anyone using the app file browser?

I would have recommended File Browser up until about a week ago. 
Something happened--an update or something--and now I cannot open any 
remote share. Ex.: I have a network-attached storage system from 
Synology which holds--well--a lotta stuff. I had it connected to my 
iPhone 12 Pro Max quite successfully all summer, after replacing my 10S 
with it. Then, just last week, I opened File Browser to get something 
from that NAS, and I couldn't open the share. Thinking I did something 
wrong and broke the NAS share, I tried it on a Windows system also 
connected to the same network with the same results--I could show the 
shares, of which there are two, but I could not open them.



I then tried the same things with the native iOS Files application, and 
all shares opened correctly. This made me very happy, indicating there 
was nothing wrong with my network, my NAS, or my Windows system, and at 
the same time, very sad, because I really like the File Browser 
interface better than that of the native Files application. After all, 
that's why I bought File Browser.



So what's up with File Browser on network-atached shares? I don't know, 
but I suspect I'll be trying to contact the developer to find out.

Talking Clock

['Cook, Steve' via VIPhone]

Hi All,

I updated my iPhone 10Xr this weekend to 15.1. My VoiceOver Clock does not 
announce the hourly time as it did in the previous version. The weird thing is, 
if my phone is unlocked , the time announces. Any suggestions on how to fix 
this? If not, any other recommendations for an hourly chime app? Thanks in 
advance!

Problem with File Browser application

[Steve Matzura]

I like its interface better than the native Files application. I don't 
think it does anything Files doesn't, it's just a matter of look and 
feel--OK, hear and feel. LOL.



Anyway, today I opened it and attempted to access one of my remote 
storage devices. I have two--A Synology NAS, and a Windows 10 system 
with two shared drives. On each storage device, I can connect, File 
Browser sees the volume, but I can't open them. If I use File Browser's 
Recents tab to get into things I've previously accessed, I can see a 
list of places, but I can't get into any of them. I've looked on the 
File Browser support page and found nothing about this problem, so it's 
either very new, or I'm doing something wrong and/or stupid. Any ideas?

Word game puzzle between 2 users?

[Steve Spamer]

Hi.

 

A year or so ago, I came back to IOS and the iPhone after owning an Android
device for about 4 years, prior to that I had an iPhone 4. I remember having
a word puzzle game that 2 users could play, but I can't remember it's name.

 

Basically, you were given a number of letters to create a word with and you
got a score depending on the strength of that word, the winner was the
person with the best score of course.

 

So, does anyone know what that game was from the description or does anyone
know of an accessible  game that allows 2 people to play with words, similar
to the Dice World concept?

 

Best steve.

Re: Out of topic

[Steve Matzura]

That depends on what you call "affordable." Good ones aren't cheap, and 
alternatively, cheap ones aren't good--they lack features one wants in a 
sound bar, like wireless operation and not Bluetooth wireless.



OK, the caveats out of the way, I love my Sonos Beam, about $400. It's 
compact--about two feel long and four inches high and deep. It has four 
radiators that deliver a lot of sound and a lot of low end without 
sounding forced, and without the low end sounding delayed in any way 
like some of the old Bose Wave systems sounded. The beam can work on a 
Wi-Fi network, or be hardwired into your in-house LAN, you can connect 
it to a computer via an HDMI cable, or to a sound source via an 
eighth-inch (3.5mm) jack, all on its rear panel. The iPhone and Windows 
setup applications are accessible and straightforward to use. It doesn't 
weigh a ton, so it's easily movable from room to room. I even took it on 
a gig one day instead of putting a big-box amplified speaker in my 
shopping cart with all the other stuff I brought because the room was 
small. Even so, the Beam audio filled the room and spilled out into the 
hallway where people were sticking their heads in the door wondering 
where the jazz band was!



One thing the Beam has which is not fun is controls on its top surface 
that are not in any way tactile. I suppose one could mark their 
positions with tape or Loc Dots, but I never bothered doing that. 
Instead, I just control it from the computer.

Of course, I put a fresh set of batteries in my hearing aids and inserted them 
into my ears, but when I tried using the phone with them, not only were they

not the type that can receive firmware updates, so I know that's not the 
problem. However, I do have an Apple Watch, and it was correctly paired with

paired at the same time? Or did I possibly forget to set something up on the 
phone correctly when I did the initial install and setup, moving from the 10S 
(or XS) Max to the 12 Pro Max two months ago?


Thanks in advance for any suggestions, gratefully received.

Re: VoiceOver Volume Always Low on 12 Pro Max

[Steve Matzura]

1. O-ho! It was the rotor, I didn't have Volume on the rotor, and when I 
put it there, it was set to only 60%. I increased it to 100%, and now 
the phone volume goes up as loud as it did on the old XS Max.



2. "Change with" is off. I don't care about that anyway, ringer and 
other noises are at a good volume. I don't have to change those.



3. Siri volume now adjusted as per your instruction.


4. Yes, ducking is enabled.


The main problem and solution was #1. Now VO volume is the same as 
everything else.



On 8/17/2021 7:36 PM, Richard Turner wrote:
First, is the VoiceOver volume in the rotor, and what do you have it 
set at?

2. In settings, sounds, is change with buttons off?
3. Ask Siri a question that will take a little while to answer, like 
the forecast for the week; and adjust the volume while it is speaking.

That should set the Siri volume.
4. Do you have Audio ducking enabled?

Ever since I got the device back in June, I've noticed two odd

1. The VoiceOver voice, no matter which one it is, is always low, 
lower than any other audio the phone can produce. This includes phone 
calls, FaceTime, Zoom, media playback such as Music, Web content, 
etc.It's this way on both the built-in speakers and headphone output.



2. When the VoiceOver voice begins speaking, it ramps up in volume 
from something ridiculously low up to a higher level over the course 
of about three syllables.



All of the above is quite annoying when I ask Siri a question, the 
Siri voice speaks loudly, then the VoiceOver voice comes on, ramps up 
in volume over the course of a few syllables, but it's never half as 
loud as the Siri voice. This tells me I've got some level-limiting 
setting turned on which I can't find. Any ideas welcome and

Hearing Aid Not Pairing on 12 Pro Max

[Steve Matzura]

For the first time in eighteen months, I got to go out to a public 
gathering. Of course, I put a fresh set of batteries in my hearing aids 
and inserted them into my ears, but when I tried using the phone with 
them, not only were they not paired with the phone, but I could not do 
the pairing. I opened Bluetooth Settings and found somebody's LG 
something in the area with which I accidentally paired, but my hearing 
aids weren't even on the list. My aids are not the type that can receive 
firmware updates, so I know that's not the problem. However, I do have 
an Apple Watch, and it was correctly paired with the phone. Is it 
possible that it's not permissible to have a watch and aids paired at 
the same time? Or did I possibly forget to set something up on the phone 
correctly when I did the initial install and setup, moving from the 10S 
(or XS) Max to the 12 Pro Max two months ago?



Thanks in advance for any suggestions, gratefully received.

VoiceOver Volume Always Low on 12 Pro Max

[Steve Matzura]

Ever since I got the device back in June, I've noticed two odd behaviors 
about VoiceOver which I can't explain which hopefully you can.



1. The VoiceOver voice, no matter which one it is, is always low, lower 
than any other audio the phone can produce. This includes phone calls, 
FaceTime, Zoom, media playback such as Music, Web content, etc.It's this 
way on both the built-in speakers and headphone output.



2. When the VoiceOver voice begins speaking, it ramps up in volume from 
something ridiculously low up to a higher level over the course of about 
three syllables.



All of the above is quite annoying when I ask Siri a question, the Siri 
voice speaks loudly, then the VoiceOver voice comes on, ramps up in 
volume over the course of a few syllables, but it's never half as loud 
as the Siri voice. This tells me I've got some level-limiting setting 
turned on which I can't find. Any ideas welcome and gratefully received.

Subject: Screen Recognition Again, was Re: Corrupted Amazon app



Some say I often have a defeatist attitude, but I think that screen recognition 
has a lot of work to go before it, as it were, gets right. The Amazon app is 
the one I tried with it, with the same results as with the original question in 
this thread. I finally got screen recognition turned off and will wait for it 
to get better, hopefully in IOS 15, before messing with it again, unless I find 
an app that just won't work without it.  I may then try it again, but I think 
it is a potentially good idea that definitely needs some work.

Firstly, check that Screen Recognition is not turned on for Amazon.  This has 
often been found to be the culprits for apps not speaking correctly!

Run the Amazon app and launch Task Switcher.  Place Focus on the Amazon app.  
If enabled turn the Rotor to Screen Recognition and if enabled flick up to turn 
it off.  Quit the Amazon app and relaunch it.  Does it work correctly now?

RE: Corrupted Amazon app

[Steve Sweeney]

Hi,
It is on some models but it doesn't fix the app problem which in my case is the 
speaker shutting off when the app is opened.  I did however find a work around 
that solves the problem for me.
After opening the Alexa app, go to the home screen.  Next, open the App 
Switcher.  Select the Alexa app from the App Switcher and double tap it.  When 
the Alexa app is selected and is on screen it will work fine.
Don't know if this will work for all phone models but it does for my 2020 SE.
HTH -Steve

You can use an older lightening to usb-a and associated charging brick it just

Or purchase a magsafe charger for your iPhone 12, or even wifi charging pad.

The stock package for an iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with a charging cable, but no 
charger. This is the first phone I've had, starting with the venerable 4S, 
where no little charger cube was hiding ina nook or cranny in the main iPhone 
box. What you do get is a charging cable, and thereby hangs another tale, 
because you need to know that the end that's supposed to go into your little 
charging cube wall wart that you don't get, that connector is not USB-A--it's 
USB-C. So if you don't have any USB-C charger wall warts in the house, you're 
going to be kiind-of stuck until you either get one or buy the accessory kit 
from your phone store or provider that contains a case and the new wireless 
MagSafe charging square. I got lucky--I didn't foresee this problem, but I did 
want the wireless charging option plus the case plus the screen protection.


Oh yeah, no earbuds either.


The above aside, they've done a clever thing regarding installing the tempered 
glass screen protector--you now get a plastic form that neatly fits over the 
iPhone itself. What you do with it is, you turn it upside down and lay it on a 
flat surface, oritent yourself with the tempered-glass screen protector so you 
know which is the end with a notch cut out of it--that's the earpiece end, take 
it out of its wrapping and sheathing, and lay it very gently adhesive side up 
in the plastic form. Then, orient the phone itself in the same way as the 
screen protector, remove its packaging covering, and lay it down into the form 
on top of the adhesive backing of the screen protector. By doing this, the 
screen protector is absolutely assured of being in perfect position on the 
front side of the phone, and you don't get any fingerprints anywhere. The 
slightest bit of oil from your fingers on the front side will diminish the 
ability of the screen protector's adhesive side to stick to the phone's glass 
face, and this new way of applying these rigid-glass protectors seems to be a 
great thing, especially for blind people. I wish I'd've had this for the XS Max 
last year. If I did, I probably wouldn't have put it on ever so slightly 
crooked, and it might not have come off about five months later, also probably 
due to my having touched the screen and polluting the surface with my body 
fluids
(LOL) to orient it when putting it on.

Question About iPhone Backups and Losing Data

[Steve Matzura]

When I moved from an iPhone 6 to an 8, I lost everything in BARD Mobile 
and I think Voice Dream Reader. Then, when I went from an 8 to my 
current 10 XS, it happened *AGAIN*! Today, I learned that upgrading to 
the 12 Pro Max is a simple phone swap and a reset on my payment plan, 
which was a nice surprise, so I'll probably do it before the trade-in 
price of the 10 XS drops! What can I do to make sure I don't lose my VDR 
and BARD books and mas? Not that somethin  sure a box is checked? To 
that end, in the list of applications that will be backed up, both BARD 
and VDR are checked, but the amount of data they showw ill be backed up 
is minuscule compared to what I know is really in there--about seventy 
braille ma in BARD and about 2.5GB of audio content in VDR.

RE: Microphone

I am planning to use it for interviews for a podcast we are starting with the 
NFB of SC.

The question has not been asked, and I did not see it in the original post, 
what kind of recording is the microphone going to be used for?

The Zoom IQ microphones are stereo and fairly small and work best on a phone 
without a case, or at least a case that leaves the charging port completely 
open since the post on the mic for the lightning plug is very short, even after 
removing the little plastic spacer they include.

The Line 6 looks like an over the top system focused completely on music and 
more.  Check their web site for a warning about the wireless system that needs 
a firmware update.

I think the Shure Mv5 Digital condenser microphone is a unidirectional 
microphone that would be great for recording either spoken word or a person 
playing an instrument or singing.

If we are talking just spoken word, the built in microphone or microphones, 
depending on the iPhone, do a fine job though an external mic does improve 
things.

VenMo

Hi All, 

I am attempting to sign up for VenMo. I am able to get as far as entering a 
phone number for my account, but after entering my phone number. I receive an 
error message stating this number is already registered with VenMo. How can I 
resolve this issue?

Looking for a history application

[Steve Matzura]

Something I can run that will show me a few events in history on today's 
date. If there is no such application but someone could recommend a 
preferred accessible Website, I'll take that, too, but it should 
probably be sent to me off list as to not upset the topic cops (LOL).
