Re: Sirius app update improvements and observations

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. After doing more playing with the app, I am getting used to it and am liking the new design. For instance, if you double tap the now playing info at the top, the now playing screen will open up and seems to be a lot less cluttered than the way it was before. Plus, all buttons and items are labeled. I was very pleased to find that 1 swipe after the play button was the Go Live button. On the older version, Go Live was 3 or 4 flicks right, which I found a little annoying. It wasn’t a huge issue but I still found it inconvenient that Go Live was several swipes away from other useful content. I haven’t explored everything I’m sure, and there are definitely things that could be better. For instance, I miss my nice list of favorites from the old app. Although, the new design has removed buttons after the channel name. I also miss the rewind and fast forward buttons. Those made skipping songs, particularly on the weekly countdown shows I enjoy, very convenient. It takes some getting used to, and there are still more things to work on, but I’m warming up to the new app’s design.Happy holidays to all,WayneWayne MerrittJAWS Certified, 2023http://freedomscientific.com/certificationConnect with me on GoodReads:http://goodreads.com/waynesbooksOn Dec 22, 2023, at 8:26 PM, Richard Turner  wrote:Your method seems to be the only way to really narrow it down to the NFL teams, but it would be much better if they put them in alphabetical order. Richard, USA“Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

I find the easiest way to find the list of NFL team channels is still the way I posted last week. I go into the search tab and type NFL in the search field. The team channels are the
 first thing to come up.
 
I also noticed that in the discovery tab, you can flick down by heading to get to an around the NFL section to get to other NFL related content, but it doesn’t seem to include the team
 channels. At the top I see several live and upcoming sections for the NBA, college football and so on. I wonder if a live and upcoming MFL section will pop up tomorrow when we have NFL games.
 
Note that across the top you’ll see what you last played, followed by connect to device, play and settings. Below that you’ll see the buttons for you, music, talk and podcasts, sports
 and so on. If you don’t see this row of buttons then you may need to tap on the go back button at the  top of the page several times to get back to this page.

Hi Wayne,

I downloaded the update today and I am still confused. I am having a great difficulty getting to the NFL play by play area. I keep getting the last station played player open without playing and I cannot get rid of it, even if I close the app and restart it.

Re: making extra payments on Apple devices

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. If you go into Wallet, and choose Apple Card, and then choose the Pay 
button, you are given the option to make a payment before the end of the cycle, 
which for me is the end of the month. I was a little confused the first time I 
saw this screen too. There is a slider control which you can move up or down to 
adjust how much you want to pay. If you flick right, there will be a 
description of the payment. The lowest end is the minimum, then the middle, and 
then the prior month’s balance at the top. This description area changes based 
on where the slider is set. For example, I can set mine where it is almost at 
the top but not all the way there, and be told to “pay a little more”. After 
you have chosen the amount and are satisfied with it, flick right through the 
rest of the text. There will be a final button at the bottom which says 
something like submit payment. You will have to verify with either touch or 
face ID. It is early enough in the month that you could make several payments 
based on your finances and when money is coming in. Apple makes the process of 
making payments very easy. If all this sounded overwhelming, give it a try the 
first few times. The more you do it, I think the more you will like and get 
used to it.

Good luck,
Wayne Merritt

Hi all:
So if you buy items on the Apple card from Aple and want to make extra 
payments, how do you do it?
When I choose pay it says the extra I pay will go towards the cc balance.
I tried waiting to the CC payment had been made and it said I had no payments 
due. Unfortunately it wouldn’t make a payment because I had pending charges. 
The way my bills are schedule, I always have pending payments.
Ideas?

System sounds lower in iOS 17

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I thought I have seen a control or setting to adjust the
volume of the system and notification sounds in iOS 17. For whatever
reason, my system and notification sounds seem to be lower than the
VoiceOver sounds. I have my sound and alert volume set fairly high, so
that I can hear my alarms when they go off, but I'm still having
trouble hearing certain sounds. For example, the swish noise when a
text or iMessage is sent or received. I understand the sound volume is
lower for the default notification sounds. In that case though I have
my phone set to vibrate along with making the sound. Is there a
setting I can adjust to raise the volume? For the record, I'm running
iOS 17.0.3.

Warmly,
Wayne

Yes, they are. You will have to go into the Health app on your iPhone

Bluetooth keyboard editing iOS commands

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I am learning and re-acquainting myself with using a
Bluetooth keyboard with VoiceOver on iOS. Not that it matters much,
but I'm using the latest generation of the Apple wireless Magic
Keyboard. I'm stuck and getting frustrated with a couple of editing
commands. I have tried to find a list of updated keyboard commands on
AppleVis, and even have looked at a couple of Apple Support pages, but
with no luck. What are the commands to erase the current and previous
word when editing? I'm used to using control backspace from Windows,
but am pretty sure that doesn't work on iOS. Incidentally, if anyone
has a complete list of all, or the most popular, keyboard commands
please do send those along too.

Warmly,
Wayne

Questions when navigating, reading and editing with the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. I am trying out The Apple Magic Bluetooth Keyboard (I forget the name 
exactly, but it is the newer version) I have had for a few months to use with 
an iPad. I have already connected it to my iPhone, but need some help getting 
started. First off, with the predictive text thing, is there a way to have the 
phone behave one way when using a wireless keyboard and another with the 
software or virtual keyboard? For instance, if I did want to know the 
predictive text when writing with the virtual keyboard, but I did not want to 
know it with the wireless keyboard? I have already gone into settings, 
VoiceOver, and Verbosity to set it to play sounds when the predictive text 
appears, and speak the text when I choose it from the 3 options. Since writing 
this message on the Bluetooth keyboard, I observe the setting is not sticking.
Also, how does one navigate to the predictive area to access the suggestions? 
Is there a way to read the item which has focus, like using insert with tab 
would do for JAWS on Windows? That should get me started for now. For context, 
I have iOS 17.0.2.

Warmly,
Wayne

Re: ios 17 release tomorrow

[Wayne Merritt]

I'm not a beta tester, but from what I understand, if you have the 17
RC then you are already on the public release. All the videos I have
watched on this say that to get a newer RC release you need to turn
off the beta profile in Settings/General/Software Updates.

Hth,

Hello. Unfortunately, there is not a way to create a rule as you

ap, and have sent them feedback expressing this desire. Alass, Apple
does what and when they want.

Managing social media on the Buffer and Facebook apps

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I have downloaded and added one social media account to
Buffer. This is an app which allows the managing of multiple social
media accounts at once, such as posting messages to several sites. I
seem to be stuck on the add account screen. I have added a Facebook
account, but cannot find a back or close button. All I find are
log-out, help, and then a list of social media networks to add, such
as Mastodon, Twitter, instagram, etc. I saw a demonstration of the
Buffer site on Windows afew years ago at the AccessU accessibility
conference, and thought the app would offer many of the same benefits
and would also be accessible. Has anyone used Buffer before, and how
do you get out of this log-in screen? I tried closing and reopening
the app with no change. Also, regarding Facebook, I am looking for
steps to add and remove managed pages, such as if I want to add a new
profile or page within my own personal account. Using Facebook is
often like wandering around a giant shopping center; it is easy to get
lost or forget why I went there in the first place.

Many thanks,
Wayne

Re: things to turn off to save battery

[Wayne Merritt]

Some ideas may be any of the following:
* GPS location
* Camera
* Apps which use a lot of resources, like Facebook
* This may be a good time to go through your Settings, specifically
Privacy and Location Services and turn off or set to "while using" any
apps where you don't want your location used.
* Another Settings item would be General/Background Refresh. Most of
the apps on my phone I have background refresh set to off, meaning
when I exit the app does it stay running.
This list alone would save a lot of battery, but each person has their
own priorities. Finally, while I'm not a person who constantly closes
apps from the App Switcher, I also keep the number of open apps to a
max of 6 or 7. Sighted people don't have the luxury of knowing how
many they have open, unless they count them all. I know this from
observing my wife and how she uses her phone. Occasionally I will need
to use her phone with VoiceOver. I have opened the app switcher and,
no lie, have discovered around 40 aps open at once. No wonder she is
always charging her phone, :)

Warmly,
Wayne

Problems with brailling certain letters with BSI

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. I sent the following message to Apple Accessibility. I would
encourage others, if you have encountered the same issue, to also send
a message so it can be addressed in a future update. I got the
standard confirmation reply that they got my message, and would
forward my feedback to the appropriate team.
***
Greetings. I sent a message last week which in part talked about
difficulties using Braille Screen Input (BSI) on my iPhone. I am blind
and use VoiceOver on an iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 16.6. My problems
with BSI are becoming more pronounced. I am having trouble making
certain letters. For instance, when trying to write an "S", often an R
or P is inserted. Or, when trying to Braille a T, a Q is written
instead. Finally, the word "and" often appears when I try to write
"the". BSI is my primary input method when writing texts, emails, or
entering text in other parts of the operating system. I am having to
go back and make more corrections, or even send the email on my
computer. I am writing this message on a computer, since I don't trust
BSI reliably enough to do it on the phone. Please consider taking a
look at this issue. I don't use Siri or Voice Control, mostly because
I have a lower-pitched voice and Siri has a hard time understanding
me. So, BSI is my main method of writing on the phone. Sending an
email from the computer works for that task, but when I encounter
these letter interpreting issues with BSI repeatedly, I often resort
to the virtual keyboard and predictive text. This alternative is
inconvenient for longer messages.

Creating a phone shortcut

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings all. I would like to create a shortcut to appear on my home
screen to call a specific phone contact or favorite. For the record, I
don't use Siri hardly at all, except to call my wife. It occurred to
me today that I could probably add a shortcut or contact to my home
screen to do this, and then I would be able to disable Siri
completely. I realize Siri is an everyday life line for many, and I
have no problem with that. I have my reasons for not using Siri, and
for the record, I informed an Apple representative once when I was
talking to them about another issue, and they said they would pass my
feedback along to the Siri team. Anyway, I am very much a novice
shortcut user. I have only used shortcuts for a small handful of
things. So, with that in mind,  does anyone have simple steps for
creating a shortcut for what I want to do, or, can you point me to a
resource that is laid out for novice shortcut users like me?

Thanks,
Wayne

Question about Disney Plus and Hulu ad supported versions

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I just heard this story on YouTube and went to the report
on a website. Apparently, Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN will be raising
prices in the fall. This particular page is mostly about the US side,
but there is also information here regarding pricing for the rest of
the world. My question: for those who use Disney Plus and/or Hulu on
the ad supported teer, do you find that there are too many ads? Are
you able to skip the ad after a certain point, like on YouTube? Is the
process of skipping ads accessible with VoiceOver? The following link
has more details, including a table which lists all of the changes in
price:
https://whatsondisneyplus.com/disney-hulu-prices-to-rise-in-the-fall/
In short, it looks like starting September 6, with ads will be $7.99
for either Disney Plus or Hulu, without ads is about $14 for Disney
Plus and I assume the same goes for Hulu, or there is a combined
offering with Disney Plus and Hulu for $10 with ads or $20 without.
Given how well the ad accessibility works, I may be switching, since
I'm not wild about paying $20 for no ads, even if I get a combo.

Warmly,
Wayne

Apple Watch face input wanted

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I have an Apple Watch Series 6 running WatchOS 9.4 I think. Anyway, 
I'm wanting to change from my simple face with 4 complications and the time and 
date in the center to a face that offers 1 to 2 additional complications. I 
don't want or need a face that has 8 slots. I would like to find accessible 
faces which offer 5 or 6 complications, along with the time and date. I want to 
be able to touch a part of the display to hear the relevant information. I've 
used one of the infograh faces before that has spaces for 8 complications. 
While that was cool, I often found that I had to swipe between complications to 
access those in the middle. I don't need that level of detail now. All thoughts 
are welcomed even if they are negative about certain faces. Tell me which face 
you have and why you like it, or why you don't. 

Warmly, 
Wayne

Looking for easy to use NFL scores app

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. I'm looking for an easy to use app for the upcoming NFL season. I'm not 
looking for something to hear games on, since I have a Sirius XM subscription. 
Also, I'm not interested in stats or fantasy, just scores and alerts for 
various teams. These alerts would be at the start of a game, when the score is 
close toward the end, and for games going into overtime, as well as the final 
score. I have tried several apps but haven't found one which is totally 
accessible or that isn't overloaded with a lot of extra content, such as the 
ESPN app. Aside from those things, anyone have any suggestions? 

Thanks, 
Wayne

Listing appointments in the native iOS Calendar

[Wayne Merritt]

Good day. I am trying to list my appointments in the iPhone Calendar. I know 
there's a way to do it but I can't recall how. I tried toggling the list button 
at the top but I only switch between the month and day views when it is 
selected and a multi-month view when the List button is unselected. Could 
someone give me some direction on what I'm missing? I have yet to find the 
perfect calendar for me, but I was sure an appointment list did exist in the 
native calendar. For what it's worth, I'm using iOS 16.5.1. 

Thanks, 
Wayne

Re: Just a Quick Hello To Everyone on the List from Moderator Mark

[Wayne Merritt]

A couple of things I can think of. First, improvements to Braille Screen Input, 
such as iOS keeping up with my brailling speed. Often I am able to write text 
at a comfortable speed. But there are times when I have to recallobrate the dot 
positions, or switch back and forth between uncontracted and contracted input 
in order to get my text entered correctly. I recall reading something in the 
last few years where Apple said they would address this, but I still find it 
clunky. I would also like to see improvements to focuses, specifically being 
able to enter different start and end times for weekends versus weekdays for Do 
Not Disturb. If this was added and I missed it then great. But the last time I 
looked, I did not see this level of detail. Considering they made enhancements 
in iOS 16 to Focus, I was disappointed when I looked and did not find this in 
Do Not Disturb. That's all I can think of right now. Apple has a great track 
record for accessibility. Unfortunately, they also have a record for 
introducing features which may make a difference for people, and then not doing 
anything else with them. Do Not Disturb being a case in point. One other thing 
I just thought of: the ability to better filter mail in the native iOS app. 
True, there are some filter options, but they barely scratch the surface in my 
opinion. I am able to set detailed filters in Gmail on the web. It seems that 
setting the same level of filters should also be possible in an app. I have 
tried several, including the Gmail app, Outlook, and the native iOS mail app, 
but have not found one that I totally like or that has the level of filtering 
that I'm looking for.

Warm regards, 
Wayne

Hello Everyone,

Seems as though it's been quite a while since I posted to the list so just
wanted to check in with you and see how everyone is doing with their Apple

I am looking forward to the WWDC 2023 keynote presentation, next week.

You know?  The only software feature that I really want added to the OS is
the ability to permanently save and organize iMessage content into folders.


Are there any features, accessibility-related or not, that you would like to
see introduced next week?

I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to reading your replies.

Re: Is The Sirius XM App for iOS Voiceover Accessible?

[Wayne Merritt]

Yes, the StarPlayerX app offers a simplified experience when using Sirius XM. 
However, there are a lot of features in the Sirius XM app which are not in 
StarPlayerX, such as the ability to pause and resume ones listening, or to "Go 
Live," on a channel which is broadcasting live content. I have found a few 
unlabeled buttons in Sivius but one can relabel those to be more 
understandable. I do wish there was an easier way to edit my favorites, rather 
than deleting and re-creating them all over again, like I did a few years ago. 
On the whole, the Sirius app is very accessible, though I did have a learning 
curve when I started using it in 2020. Your mileage may vary. 

Good luck, 
Wayne


PS: Some of my fave channels include 25, Classic Rewind; 38, Ozzie's Boneyard, 
which is classic hard rock; the Big 40 countdown each Friday from the 80's on 
8, and more!!

Re: Apple Arcade

[Wayne Merritt]

Yes, there is one Arcade game which is mostly accessible. It is called
Dear Reader, and is a game of literary word play. You work through
word puzzles based on classic literature, such as Alice in Wonderland.
Nearly all of the puzzles are accessible, or at least the ones I
played were. There may be a few unlabeled buttons, but from what I
could tell they did not affect game play. I last used Apple Arcade a
year ago, so perhaps more games have become accessible, or more of
Dear Reader. I have it on my iPhone now since I purchased an iPad a
couple of months ago, but I have yet to play it.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: mail question

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. I asked about this recently on the list. The basic answer I got back is you 
will have to setup the filter on the Gmail web view in order for the messages 
to be filtered and organized how you want when you are checking the Mail app on 
iOS. I wish Apple would add more filtering and message rule options for us in 
the native mail app, but this is where we are now. For anyone who is interested 
in doing this, contact me off list and perhaps we can setup a Zoom or phone 
call to go over the steps. I am a retired technology teacher and this was one 
of my favorite topics when I taught the Internet class. In other words, I have 
been using Gmail filters and labels for years to organize my mail.

Re: Has any one noticed in the new i pad update that when you go to the bottom of the in box in mail there are options for filters

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. I looked at this on my iPhone 13 running 16.4, and I don't see any change 
from the prior filtering options, such as filtering by unread, to me, or CC me, 
among others. Hopefully Apple will expfand on the filter and/or mail rules in 
the future since that would make the app more competitive.

Playing Spotify on the iPad

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello again. I'm back with another iPad question. I have Spotify on both my 
iPhone and iPad. However, when I cue a song to play on the iPad, it plays 
instead on the iPhone. I would like to play music on both devices independent 
of each other, but would like to choose which device to use at the time. I 
looked in Settings under Spotify and Music, and glanced through the Spotify app 
settings but did not find anything to do what I want. Any ideas? 

Warm regards, 

Wayne Merritt

New iPad owner with questions

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. I bought an iPad Air 5th Generation today. I have been using VoiceOver for 
many years on the iPhone, but don't have much mileage on the iPad. I think my 
main question so far is this. I know that one's VoiceOver and other settings 
migrate between devices and iCloud. While this is good on paper, is it possible 
to make settings changes on the iPad that are different from the settings I 
have on my iPhone? An example is the screen orientation. I have it set to 
portrait on my phone, but want to experiment with landscape on the iPad with 
the larger screen.

Re: Looking for mail app that can filter messages

[Wayne Merritt]

Okay, now I understand. I was talking about message rules. I wish the mail app and other iOS mail apps gave more flexibility with different types of message rules. I have set up message rules in the Gmail web view, and that has helped me keep my mail organized throughout the last many years since many rules have certain labels which are automatically applied to messages when they arrive. Again, it would be awesome if the same feature set was in the native mail app, but oh well. Kind regards, Wayne Wayne MerrittJAWS Certified, 2023http://freedomscientific.com/certificationCheck out my GoodReads page:http://goodreads.com/waynesbooksOn Mar 18, 2023, at 11:56 AM, Sieghard Weitzel  wrote:







And that is the difference between a "filter" and a "rule". If you want certain messages to automatically get sorted to a particular folder than that has to be done via a message rule. And of course if you use Gmail then it's not even folders
 but labels, e.g. a message gets a "Viphone" label and practically this is more of less like it getting put in a "Viphone" folder.

Subject: Re: Looking for mail app that can filter messages


 


 


By filters, I am assuming that you mean message rules, where certain messages would go in particular folders depending on how the rule is set up.  Is this correct?


 


Now the iOS mail app does filter messages, but not in the way I think you are talking about.  When in a folder, like your inbox, at the bottom of the screen, you will find a toggle filter button.  If you double tap this, this will turn
 on the iOS filtering, and another filter button will appear.  That button will let you choose the type of filtering you want.  In the iOS mail app, you can filter by things like, by messages that are unread, messages with attachments, messages that are flagged,
 and messages just received today.


 


Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think by using the word filtering without giving any more details has given the wrong idea on what you are trying to do.


 


As far as using message rules to filter your messages to different folders, you are correct, you can not set them up in the iOS mail app.  And actually, I do not know of any iOS app that lets you actually set them up.  It has been stated
 on list before that you can set message rules up on the GMail web site, and then they should show up in any iOS app that you use.  Since you have said that you have already tried this with no success makes me wonder.  I might look into this myself to see what
 is going on.


 


Again, if you are not trying to set up message rules, please let us know.


 


Chris

Looking for mail app that can filter messages

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I am searching for a mail app that can filter my Gmail messages. I 
have tried the native iOS mail app, Outlook, and Gmail. All of them have 
certain things I like and other things I could do without. For instance, the 
native mail app cannot filter messages. Though Gmail can filter incoming mail, 
the process for creating the filter could be much easier and straightforward. 
Also, there are not nearly as many items available in the rotor actions in 
Gmail as there are in Mail. I have downloaded a few apps from the App Store, 
but haven't found any that are accessible. All thoughts and opinions welcome. 

Kind regards,

Re: counting steps on apple watch SE

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. If you are walking on a treadmill and your hands are holding onto the bar or bars on the equipment, then I can understand why the watch wouldn't count very many steps since your hands are stationary. There are step counting apps which you can use from the watch and/or your phone to count steps. I use one called Steps App. It works on the phone and Apple Watch, and it even has watch complications which can show the number of steps, distance, or flights climbed, or a combination of these. I don't recall if the app was free or had a cost. It has served me well. The iPhone app is extremely accessible, and the app even syncs the data to the native Health app. I use the Health app to track other information, but I can easily look up information about my step count too. Warm regards, Wayne MerrittJAWS Certified, 2023http://freedomscientific.com/certificationCheck out my GoodReads page:http://goodreads.com/waynesbooksOn Mar 9, 2023, at 4:03 PM, Mary Otten  wrote:I should also have said that if you are say walking on a treadmill, and you engage a walking workout, you still won’t get step count worth a darn.

Re: How to manage passwords?

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. It is possible to have up to 2 password services. For instance, I have selected both 1Password and iCloud Keychain in my Password settings. For a brief time when I used Chrome, it showed up in that list as well. I do not think you can add a service to this list, but if you install an app that can remember and create passwords, I believe it will show in the list. I'm not certain but I think there is an options button once you select Passwords from the iPhone Settings. Most of my passwords are in both 1Password and iCloud Keychain, but there are likely some that are in only one app. Warm regards, Wayne MerrittJAWS Certified, 2023http://freedomscientific.com/certificationCheck out my GoodReads page:http://goodreads.com/waynesbooksOn Mar 11, 2023, at 11:12 PM, Dennis Long  wrote:You need to decide what you are going to use and turn off the other one.  So if you are going to use 1password as an example you turn off iCloud keychain so they will all save in 1password in the future.  This is user error that you will need to sort out unfortunately. From: viphone@googlegroups.com  On Behalf Of Mária OrovcíkováSent: Thursday, March 2, 2023 1:04 PMTo: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: How to manage passwords? Hello list,I have been using Password managers for ages to access passwords on my Windows 10 laptop and Iphone.Since Icloud keychain has been available, all my passwords are messed up.Some are saved in a password manager and some are saved in the Icloud keychain, because when I used some websites or apps on Iphone requiring passwords, I saved the passwords in the Icloud keychain, but forgot to save them in the password manager.When I used my laptop, I saved password in the password manager, ut didn't save them in the Icloud keychain.I would like to have all passwords in the Password manager and in the Icloud keychain too.Please, is there a way to merge passwords and have them saved in the password manager and Icloud keychain, or will I have to save every single entry manually?I have more than 100 paswords, so it would take me too long to add them one by one.Thank you very much for your help.Maria-- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list. If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.

Spotify questions

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. I've joined Spotify recently. While I am enjoying adding songs
to my Liked Songs and other playlists, I have come across an issue.
Does anyone know of a way to detect and remove duplicate songs from a
playlist? A warning does appear if I try to add a song which is
already in the playlist, but I know for a fact that there are
duplicate entries on several of my playlists. I'm pretty sure they are
songs with the same names but from different albums. I would really
like to know of a way to remove these duplicates, be they on playlists
I have created or on my Likes playlist. By the way, there was an
update put out today or late yesterday where the like button has been
replaced by an add to playlist button. When pressed, you are show a
list of all created playlists and the Likes playlist. What is
significant is playlists are now selected if the song has been added
to that list already. I wish this update came out earlier this week,
since it would have saved me a lot of time from getting that warning
of adding songs which were already in my playlist. Oh well.

Warm regards,
Wayne

That is just something you'll have to get used to.  While you can quickly 
adjust the playback speed of whatever zip file you are reading, whenever you go 
to the new file to read, it always defaults to 100%.  There is nothing that can 
be done to change this.

So now that I've imported my zip files into folders in Voice Dream Reader, I'm 
wondering if there is a way to set the audio speed for all of the files in that

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

[Wayne Merritt]

Josh, 
After some experimenting and figuring out what to do, I ultimately did 
everything within VDR as well. I don't use the app very often, but I was amazed 
at the control and added abilities the user is given regarding creating folders 
and moving items into those folders. Once I figured out what I was doing, it 
was very easy to get my task accomplished.

Filtering in native iOS Mail

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. Can anyone give me steps for filtering my email in the native iOS 
Mail app? For instance, if I wanted to set a filter to always allow mail coming 
from this email list. I just looked in the Junk folder and moved 45 messages I 
recognized which were from this list. I have a Gmail account, but surely there 
must be a way to filter in the native Mail app. I'm using iOS 16.3.1. 

Warmly, 

Wayne Merritt

Re: Accessible crossword puzzle apps

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. I know this has come up before, but can someone refresh me if Wordle has unlimited play without a subscription if you play the daily Wordle game? I have been propted to choose a subscription price but don't want to buy in. Otherwise, is there another free Wordle game with the same support and accessibility as the NY Times offers? Thanks, Wayne MerrittSent from my iPhone 13 ProCheck out my GoodReads page:http://goodreads.com/waynesbooksOn Feb 18, 2023, at 8:25 PM, Anna Dresner  wrote:Hi Candy,I play Wordle in the main New York Times app by choosing the Play tab, then the Play link for Wordle.Best,AnnaOn Feb 18, 2023, at 4:22 PM, Candy Lowe  wrote:Anna, are you playing from the app which is called solve wordle or are you playing the daily word on the new york times website?  I am able to play the daily word, but, the app I downloaded called solve wrdl, I just can't figure it out.  It is totally different from the single word that i am able to play from the new york times website.  Thanks for any help.   Sent from my iPhone 13 pro On Feb 18, 2023, at 2:06 PM, Anna Dresner  wrote:Hello Candy,I have been playing Wordle and the Spelling Bee from within the NYTimes app, and yes, they are accessible.

Pyramith game

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi all. I have been looking for a numberers based pyramid game, which could 
have numbers that are prime or which add up to 13. I have done searches in the 
App Store and on AppleVis and can't find a match. I seem to recall 'the game's 
name being something like Prime—13. It was very accessible Any ideas? Not that 
it matters but I have an iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 16.3.

Warmly,

Re: Accessibility of Apple pencil and Apple Archade

[Wayne Merritt]

Actually the Apple Arcade game called Dear Reader is mostly accessible. There 
are a few puzzles which areen't but they shouldn't affect general game play. 
Dear Reader is a game of literary word play. I was on Arcade for several months 
and played it regularly.

Being asked for password each time I get a free app

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. I am being asked for a password each time I want to download a free app 
from the App Store. I thought there was a way in the iPhone SettingS to turn 
off this behavior, but darned if I can find it. I am also being asked to 
confirm with Face ID, which I am fine in doing. It is the constant password 
verification requests when getting free apps that are getting on my nerves. All 
thoughts welcome. I'm using iOS 16.0.3 on an iPhone 13 Pro. 

Warm regards,

Re: Tracking steps on iPhone

[Wayne Merritt]

In order to look day by day, you need to double tap the Week button in the Steps screen of the Health app. Once you do this, you will be able to look at each day and see the total steps in that day. Regards, Wayne MerrittSent from my iPhone 13 ProCheck out my GoodReads page:http://goodreads.com/waynesbooksOn Oct 8, 2022, at 8:45 PM, h.begum99 via VIPhone  wrote:Hi, So is there a good accessible free app to get step count because before the health app used to be good at doing this an you could look day by day to see the step count e.g. see how many steps you did last Monday but now it just seems to give a little comparison and you can’t check day by day. Thanks From: viphone@googlegroups.com  On Behalf Of Richard TurnerSent: 08 October 2022 23:14To: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: Re: Tracking steps on iPhone Yes it can track your steps.Probably best to have it in the front pocket; but I believe it uses distance traveled not just motion, so carrying it in a bag shouldn't matter.In health, select the browse tab, and then the profile button in the very top.Fill out all the information.You can opt to share it or not.I think after you have the profile filled out, and selected what you want for notifications, the summary should include activity at the bottom of the screen which will include steps.If you double tap on steps you can select day, week, month, year  Or, install Pedometer++ and try it out.   Richard, USA.“What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence.

Re: Tracking steps on iPhone

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. I use the Health App as well. In addition, I use an app called StepsApp 
Pedometer. I don't recall if it cost any money. StepsApp is very accessible, 
and you can set daily steps and distance goals, in addition to the other 
information it and the Health app can track. For those interested, StepsApp 
also can be used on your Apple Watch as a complication. I really like StepsApp 
since it gives push notification encouragements, such as when I ap 50% or 80% 
to my daily goal. 

Warm regards and happy step counting, 

Wayne Merritt

Weird problem on iPhone 13 Pro involving media

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. I am having a weird issue when media is playing on my iPhone 13 Pro. 
First off, I have iOS 16.0.2, and this issue is totally random when it occurs. 
I could be listening to a book, podcast, Internet radio stream, or a movie or 
show on a streaming service. At different times, the audio will suddenly stop, 
whether I pick up the phone, sit down at a table, grip the sides of the phone, 
or even touch the screen when the phone is locked. For a while, it happened 
once every other day or once a day, but recently it has started happening twice 
in 1 day. Usually I just restart the audio and everything is fine. It doesn't 
matter if I restart VoiceOver or the phone, the problem keeps happening. I got 
this phone July 31, and I don't remember this media problem happening during 
the first few weeks of having it. Even if it did, I wasn't in a position to do 
anything about it since I was going through some serious issues of my own in 
August. I just remembered another behavior. I was talking with a family member 
on the phone. I had them on speaker and had locked the phone. At some point 
during the call, my phone started randomly pushing the touch tone buttons. I 
didn't do it and the other person didn't do it either, I figure it must have 
been my phone that was acting up. I'm going to an Apple Store next week since 
this seems like a hardware issue. I have 2 questions. First, could this be a 
random iOS problem? And the other, I have the basic coverage plan from Apple 
that they give everyone who buys a new iPhone within the first year. Would I 
still be serviced under this plan with this weird issue? I'm thinking that if I 
go to an Apple Store and they run their tests on the phone, that I have a 
better chance of having my phone replaced. Thoughts? 

Warm regards, 

Wayne Merritt

Accessible smart blood pressure monitors

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. I am looking for a replacement accessible smart blood pressure monitor. 
I had been using the Qardio, but now they have gone to a subscription model, 
and I don't see a need to pay for use of a product I had already purchased. The 
monitor would need to be accessible , work well with VoiceOver, and integrate 
with the Health app. What other monitors would fit my needs? A friend told me 
about the iHealth line of products, but what are people's thoughts on these? 
Thanks in advance for all information. 

Warmly,

Re: No speech on speaker of iPhone 13 Pro

[Wayne Merritt]

I checked the volume and turned it all the 'way up with no change. Also, the 
mute switch would not affect the VoiceOver volume. I fixed the issue by doing a 
reset of the phone by using the Assistive Touch feature in Touch in 
Accessibility. After that, all is working as it should.

No speech on speaker of iPhone 13 Pro

[Wayne Merritt]

Nreetings. I'm having a problem with my new iPhone 13 Pro and VoiceOver. When I 
have earbuds plugged in, I get VoiceOver just fine. But, when I unplug the 
earbuds and try using the phone's speaker, I get no speech or VoiceOver sounds 
at all. I have tried toggling VoiceOver speech off and back on, and turning the 
phone off and back on. Neither solution works. I'm running iOS 15.6. Does 
anyone have any ideas?

Re: Using the Good Reads App

[Wayne Merritt]

Like others, I have successfully used GoodReads since 2016 and have
had no issues. I have seen in the What's New section of app updates
mention of accessibility or VoiceOver updates a few times, so that is
good to see. I can't off hand think of a part of the app which is not
accessible, but there are probably one or two places. Perhaps scanning
in barcodes, but you could just as easily enter the information
through cut and paste from a site like Amazon. To answer the
specialized format issue, another option is to create a bookshelf
labeled Braille, and store all of your Braille or audiobook titles
there when you finish the book.

Happy reading,
Wayne

P.S.: Look in my signature for my Goodreads link.

Re: Icloud

[Wayne Merritt]

Yes. To delete older backups, go into settings, Apple ID, iCloud,
Manage Storage, and then Backups. You should be able to choose a
backup and then choose delete. You may get a warning message, but if
it is an older backup you no longer need, then there's o harm in
deleting it. I usually keep backups about a week after getting a new
device and then I delete them. Otherwise, they just take up space.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: Bard Mobile App crashes when doing a search

[Wayne Merritt]

I think the issue may be more with the latest version of the BARD
Mobile app, where you can do a search from your wish list, the
recently added books list, or the popular books list, among others in
the Get Books tab. When I try to do a search from one of these places,
the app crashes every time. However, I have gone to the BARD Website
from the Get Books tab and successfully done several searches. And no,
I have not reported the issue.

Wayne Merritt

Re: Performing a reset on an iPhone SE

[Wayne Merritt]

Thanks Alan. I had not considered the presence or lack of a headphone
jack as a defining factor. I have an iPhone SE as a work phone, and
mine does not have a headphone jack, which means I've got the SE 2020.
I should see him today and can help him determine which model he has.

Performing a reset on an iPhone SE

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. One of my students has an iPhone SE. He is not sure of the model or year 
number. I thought there was a way I could have him do a software reset using 
the home and power buttons. I did a YouTube search and those videos said to use 
the volume and side buttons and not the home button. Could someone clear this 
up for me and give steps for doing a software reset? He is having an issue with 
Siri and the phone's speech coming out of the handset versus from the speaker. 
I thought that perhaps a reset would fix the problem. 

Many thanks, 

Wayne Merritt

Re: A Question About How to Get VoiceOver to Read Notifications on Apple Watch 7

[Wayne Merritt]

I would appreciate an answer to this as well. I used to be able to
read notifications on the watch but not since perhaps WatchOS 8.3. I
don't have the watch enabled for message notifications like Mark, but
I do get notifications from DoorDash, from Fantastical, and a few
other apps. Lately, my only way to know what the alert said has been
to check the phone, were I used to be able to check the watch. I'm
using an Apple Watch Series 6 with WatchOS 8.3 I think.

Best,
Wayne Merritt

Re: best calendar apps for iPhone

[Wayne Merritt]

Richard,
Fantastical still allows you to set custom recurrences. I have not
paid for their offerings and still have been able to do all the things
I was able to do before they started charging. I have not seen any
added value for me in paying for their higher-tear plan, and don't
think I should have to pay to use a calendar anyway.
In answer to the original question, I have tried the native iOS
calendar, Google Calendar and Fantastical II, and eventually find
myself going back to Fantastical. I like and have gotten used to the
app layout, with the month view on top and my list of appointments at
the bottom of the screen. I have to use Google Calendar for work, but
did try it as my primary calendar. I like things about Google Calendar
and the native calendar, but seem to find things I don't like or
prefer about each. Try out a calendar and se which one you like best.
You may prefer the native calendar for your use case. If there was a
way I could have a list of appointments for a given day along with the
month displayed in the native calendar, I would probably go back to
that since it has improved. But I don't like the number of double taps
into a day and then back out of the day's list to get back to the
month view.

Hth,
Wayne Merritt

Re: Getting a new phone and asking questions

[Wayne Merritt]

If you're concerned about the size, you could get a 12 Mini or 13
Mini. The 12 Mini is likely to be cheaper since it is last year's
model. In my opinion, size and speech voices are subjective, and
everyone has their own preferences of what they like. I think most
people can get used to a larger sized phone. If I put my 2020 SE work
phone on top of my personal iPhone 11, the 11 is only slightly longer
or bigger. Both phones have cases, but if I took them out and compared
their sizes, I think there's a slight difference but not much.
Besides, a "bigger" phone means more icons on the screen and
potentially better battery life.

Good luck,
Wayne Merritt

Re: re iphone advice please

[Wayne Merritt]

Though I didn't read the linked article, I also doubt the iPhone is
going anywhere anytime soon. I remember hearing somewhere that the
iPhone is a large portion of Apple's business and their sales, and
given that, it doesn't make sense for them to fade out a product which
over 2 billion people have. What is more likely is the iPhone of 2029
is probably going to look different or have different ports, or no
ports, than the iPhones many of us have today.

Best,
Wayne Merritt

Re: re iphone advice please

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. Basically, do you want a home button or not. The SE 2020 has a
home button, which many blind folk consider to be more accessible.
However, the newer phones after the 10 series, though they don't have
home buttons, they are just as accessible. Basically, you slide a
finger up from the bottom or down from the top. Based on the
vibrations you feel and noises you hear, you can access the home
screen, app switcher, notification or control centers. I've been using
this newer style since the XR. Though there was an initial adjustment
period, it did not take me long to get the hang of the new way. Now, I
pick up my 2020 SE for work and find myself wanting to use the same
gestures on it that I use on my personal iPhone 11. One other thing;
though the SE 2020 can do a lot, there may be some features of iOS
that either don't work as well or at all on the SE which do work or
are smoother on the phones without a home button.

Respectfully,
Wayne Merritt

Re: how to access edit mode for apps only listed in App library?

[Wayne Merritt]

Alan,
I can confirm this. I can delete apps in the App Library by doing a 1
finger double tap and hold and then choosing delete. When in the
alphabetized list of apps, delete does not appear to be available. I
wonder if this is the intended behavior and not a bug.

Importing Downcast podcast subscriptions into the Apple Podcasts app

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. I am wanting to transfer and import my subscribed podcasts from Downcast 
into the Apple Podcasts app. I opened Apple Podcasts and can't find where to do 
it in any of the tabs. I would have thought it would be in the Library or 
perhaps Listen Now tabs but no such luck. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm 
using iOS 15.1 on an iPhone 11.

Kind regards,

Re: how do you block texts

Bill,
When I use the second method of blocking unwanted text/emails, I'm
presented with a search box. I have tried entering the email address I
want to block texts from, but all it does is search my contacts for
that address. Since the address is not in my contacts, I am unable to
block it. Thoughts?

Re: 15.1

[Wayne Merritt]

Interesting. Have you gone into that setting to see if it had changed
since the update to 15? Sounds were not working for me either after I
updated to 15. When going through Settings and the new VoiceOver
items, I noticed that my preferred setting of having sounds on actions
was altered to nothing. I set it back to sounds and haven't had any
issues since.

Just a thought,

Re: how do you block texts

[Wayne Merritt]

Do you know if the second method works for blocking spam texts from
email addresses? I get these fairly often and they show up as
messages, even though they are from an email address.

Re: App that pays you for walking

[Wayne Merritt]

For what it's worth, even though the Stepler app is not available in
the US or Canadian App Stores, one can search for the phrase "get paid
for walking" in the App Store and get several results. One that I
pulled up which looks to be similar is called Cash for Steps.

App to show a specific calendar group

[Wayne Merritt]

Good day. I am looking for an app to show me a specific calendar. For
example, I have created several calendars in addition to the Home and
Work calendars provided. If I want to see all of the events in my
Doctor calendar, I cannot find an easy way to do this in either the
native calendar app or in Fantastical II, which is the calendar app I
normally use. If I go to the calendar options in these apps, I'm
presented with a list of calendars that I can choose to show or hide,
such as for holidays, birthdays, or my own calendars. When I choose a
certain group, I'm not shown a list of events in that group. If I try
to do a search for a certain calendar group, like my "Family" group,
I'm shown a few recurring events but not the full list of events which
I know are in that group. Does anyone know of a way I can view these
calendar groups, or an app I can use to view them? I'm using an iPhone
11 with iOS 15.0.2, for what it's worth.

Thanks,
Wayne Merritt

Re: Weather notification is not showing rain stopping or starting

[Wayne Merritt]

For what it's worth, I have an iPhone 11 with iOS 15, and have also
had trouble getting those Weather notifications too. I turned Weather
to always on in location and enabled my city. Once or twice I got a
notification, but other times I did not. I've moved onto other apps,
such as Weather Gods and Dark Sky for my notifications. One thing to
try is if you have a Focus enabled from Settings, make sure to allow
the Weather app.

Kindly,
Wayne Merritt

Re: New hand gestures on Apple watch

[Wayne Merritt]

I believe that in order to use the new gestures, you have to enable
Assistive Touch in WatchOS 8. If you have not updated your watch to
version 8 of the operating system, then these new gestures will not
work.

Be well,

Re: turn on the Wake time

[Wayne Merritt]

IMO, Tap to Wake under Accessibility/Touch, is also a big battery
waster. If left on, each time you touch the phone or if it rubs
against your pocket, it will wake up. Some like it on, so to each
their own. I believe Tap to Wake is specific to the iPhone 10 series
and later.

Apple Watch chime during Work Focus

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I really like having chimes on my Apple Watch Series 6
running WatchOS 8. However, when in the Work Focus mode from the
iPhone, I do not think the watch chimes happen. Does anyone know if
the chimes are supposed to occur during a focus event, and if so, how
would I enable them? I know where to go to turn chimes on, but I feel
like I'm missing something. Running iOS 15.0.1 on my iPhone 11.

Thanks,
Wayne Merritt

Re: IOS15 Initial impressions

[Wayne Merritt]

I have an iPhone 11 and have noticed a couple of times when going
through the App Switcher where it will say Active instead of the app's
name that is active. Not a huge deal but I will pay closer attention
to see if it happens all the time or just sometimes.

All due respect to fashion, but if you get a red phone, you are now
contributing 10% of the purchase price to fighting the global Covid-19
pandemic. That was why I got a red iPhone 11 last year.

Re: Initial thoughts after today's Apple Event

[Wayne Merritt]

I've seen a couple of references to September 20 for iOS, iPadOS and
WatchOS releases. I too will be hanging onto my older Apple gear,
which is an iPhone 11 and Apple Watch Series 6. My upgrade date for
the iPhone is February of next year, which is nearly halfway through
the September release cycle, so I may as well wait until next Fall to
update. I used to be one of those update every year crew, and then it
turned into update to last year's model each year. Hopefully next
year's Apple Watch will include the long rumored blood glucose sensor.
My wife has an iPhone XR, and has been chomping at the bit to get her
hands on a purple iPhone 12. She doesn't care about the new bells and
whistles. She just wants a purple phone. She also has my old Series 4
watch. So aside from her purple phone, there's no new Apple hardware
for us. I am eagerly awaiting iOS 15 and trying out some of the
features and enhancements. That's one new thing that I will be
getting!

Kindly,
Wayne Merritt

Re: Getting new iphone 12's

[Wayne Merritt]

I would also recommend turning off Touch to Wake, under Accessibility,
then Touch, in the Physical and Motor section of Accessibility.
Similar to Richard's suggestion of turning off the Raise to Wake
function, Touch to Wake will turn on the phone each time it is
touched, or tapped. Not good when the phone is in a pocket.

Wayne Merritt

Re: YouTube weirdness after 14.7 upgrade?

[Wayne Merritt]

After you upgraded to 14.7, did you close all running apps and restart
the phone? This can get rid of a lot of potential grimlins.

Re: IOS 14.7

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. For those interested, here's the release notes from AppleVis:
MagSafe Battery Pack support for iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12
Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max
Apple Card Family adds the option to combine credit limits and share
one co-owned account with an existing Apple Card user
Home app adds the ability to manage timers on HomePod
Air quality information is now available in Weather and Maps for
Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, South Korea, and Spain
Podcasts library allows you to choose to see all shows or only followed shows
Share playlist menu option missing in Apple Music
Dolby Atmos and Apple Music lossless audio playback may unexpectedly stop
Battery service message that may have disappeared after reboot on some
iPhone 11 models is restored
Braille displays could show invalid information while composing Mail messages
Frankly, I'm surprised they're still releasing updates for iOS 14
since iOS 15 is in beta. But that's Apple, always full of surprises.

Kindly,
Wayne Merritt

Re: Free Calendar App?

[Wayne Merritt]

For what it's worth, I've been using Fantastical for over 5 years. I
didn't sign up for a subscription, mostly because it didn't offer
anything I couldn't live without, but also like Richard, I don't think
I should have to pay for the privilege of using a calendar. I have
looked at a few other calendars at times, but find myself going back
to Fantastical. When scheduling a new event, I usually hit the new
event button, and then flick to the show more button to show all of
the fields possible. I would rather enter the information myself than
use Siri. I leave the view set to month and am able to access
everything just fine. I have no trouble when navigating the month
view. Sometimes it does get annoying to have to keep going back to the
month view to change days, rather than seeing a list of days. On the
other hand, having the month at the top and the list of appointments
or tasks at the bottom works best for me.

Kindly,
Wayne Merritt

Re: Sirius xm

[Wayne Merritt]

Once you have an account and are signed-in, the Sirius/XM app is very
accessible. There are a few unlabeled buttons, but you are still able
to access channels and other features within the app. There is another
app some people use to access Sirius which is more stripped down, but
I have grown to really enjoy the main Sirius app. Over all, the Sirius
app gives me many features which are not in that other stripped down
app. To each their own.

Re: Wired alternative to Apple Lightning earbuds

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. A quick update on my situation. I went to the Apple Store
over the weekend and ended up buying a couple of extra lightning
earbuds. AS someone mentioned, they are the best option currently for
the sound and price. I'm kind of a sound/headphone snob, and it
doesn't seem like there's a better option out there. Unfortunately,
Apple holds the market on their earbuds. Something else I don't agree
with them on, but not enough to go wireless or to another platform.
I'm not an audiophile, nor am I willing to spend more than $30 on
headphones, but I am picky on how headphones feel and sound. I guess
it comes down to me being a huge lover of music and how it sounds.
Anyway, there you go.

Kindly,
Wayne Merritt

Re: Wired alternative to Apple Lightning earbuds

[Wayne Merritt]

All, 
My original purpose in not buying the 'earbuds from Apple was partly price, but 
it was also their construction. Granted, these aren't as advanced as other 
models out there, not to mention the wireless choices, but I have had quite a 
few gradually or suddenly lose sound in one ear, exhibit a crackling sound 
randomly in 1 ear, or even 1 earbud set physically came apart while I was 
listening to an American football game. Like someone else has said, whenever I 
get a new device I typically buy 1 or 2 extra earbuds, if only to stockpile. My 
sighted wife has had the same issue, though I'm not sure hers has been as 
frequent as mine. Finally, 1 of the recommendations given was for a 3.5mm jack, 
but I would need a Lightning jack or chord for the earbuds.

Wired alternative to Apple Lightning earbuds

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. After nearly 10 years, I'm losing my attraction to the
wired Apple earbuds. It seems like I've gone through several pairs
over the last year or so; they don't last as long as advertised; and I
am tired of paying Apple's prices. Does anyone know of an alternative
to these earbuds? I know that wireless earbuds are the current craze,
but I prefer wired ones. I would also like to have the same abilities
to adjust volume and handle media/phone calls with the in-line
buttons. All thoughts welcome.

Kindly,
Wayne Merritt

Re: Door dash again

Though not perfect, one solution for Doordash is to use Aira.
Yesterday I used this option, had them help me browse through the menu
and select items. One other time I called Aira, I had already placed
items in my cart and called them for help setting the delivery time.

Re: Uber or Lyft round trip?

[Wayne Merritt]

One thing to note with Lyft, not sure about Uber. You have up to 3
minutes to do your things inside and then your ride will leave. I
learned this from either within the Lyft app or a Lyft email, can't
recall which right now. At any rate, you better be very fast. This may
be the over all guidance, since I've ridden with some drivers who seem
like they would wait longer than the 3 minute allotment. I haven't
done this before for errands, just speculating. I think the Lyft
guidance is just that, a rule of thumb. The Paratransit guidance says
that a driver can only take you curb to curb, but we've all
experienced some drivers who do that, and others who will hold the
destination building's door open for you upon drop-off.

Kindly,
Wayne Merritt
