Re: App to create a zip archive of several Dropbox mp3 files?

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello,

The WinZip utility is in the app store.  Now I would recommend purchasing the 
in app upgrade.  It will give you access to Dropbox, and will Zip an unlimited 
number of times.  The free version does not give you access to any cloud 
storage, only zips one time, and has very ignoring ads that covers most of the 
screen.
It looks fairly accessible with voice over in the little time I played with the 
app.

Here is the link:

WinZip - The leading zip unzip and cloud file management tool by WinZip 
Computing LLC
https://appsto.re/us/JeY1D.i

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: How to Explore Distant Locations Virtually with Seeing Eye GPS?

[Chris Chaffin]

The Seeing Eye GPS automatically saves the last 20 or 25 routes that you have 
created in the history.  There is no way to actually choose which routes are 
saved.
And from my knowledge, there is no way of virtually looking at a location like 
you can in Blind Square or Nearby Explorer.

Re: Help Needed Adding Favorites in Nearby Explorer for iOS

[Chris Chaffin]

I can say that you can search and go into virtual mode, and I do not think you 
are limited at a particular distance.
I just did a search for a city that is 160 miles from me, and it found it just 
fine.
I also did a search for an address that was about 155 miles from me, and it 
found it without a problem.

To search for a city, type in the city name, then a comma, then the 2 letter 
abbreviation for the state.  I used the search button to the right of the space 
bar.
It will list the results.  Just double tap on the result you want.

For an address that is far away.  I typed in the address, comma, city name, 
comma, then the 2 letter abbreviation for the state.
I was able to go into virtual mode for both of my search results if I wanted.

I hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Search function on Calendar app is crap!

[Chris Chaffin]

Basically, you control how far back you keep calendar events on your device by 
how far back you sync it with iCloud.
You can choose to sync all past events, or for a specific amount of time 
depending on what you choose in your settings.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Search function on Calendar app is crap!

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello,
The time in the past that you are able to search with the calendar is dependent 
on how far in the past you actually have synced on your phone.
So the reason you are not able to find what you are looking for might be 
because it is not actually still on your phone.  When I checked my settings, my 
calendar is synced 1 month back, and this might be the default because I do not 
remember changing it.

To sync all past events to your phone, go to:
Settings / Mail Contacts and calendars.
Swipe down to the Calendar section, then swipe until you hear, sync, and then a 
time frame like 1 month back, 3 months back, or so on.
Just double tap this to change this setting.  Just choose the time frame you 
want to keep on your phone, and one of the choices is all events.

The reason for this setting is to help conserve space on your device, and 
because most people do not need to search past events.
But in the end, it is a personal preference.

I hope this solves your searching delimma.

Chris

Re: Trouble with ring tones

[Chris Chaffin]

OK, got it figured out for the most part.
Even though Jaws was telling me that the ring tone was checked for syncing, it 
for some reason was not.
I then went and turned sync all tones off then back on, and now everything is 
syncing properly again.

Still new to the process, but slowly learning!!

Thanks for the help.

Re: Trouble with ring tones

[Chris Chaffin]

Thanks for the help, but I went and checked and all of my tones are checked to 
be synced.
So I also noticed another tone listed in iTunes that is not on my phone.  Now I 
also noticed a tone folder listed under music / iTunes / media, and these tones 
are not listed in the tone folder, but they are listed in iTunes.  It seems 
that the tones listed on my phone is the same as those listed in the tones 
folder.

I am new to adding things to my phone.  I normally just put files in the 
automatic folder, could I also just add tones to the tones folder and they 
would be added to iTunes and then sync to my phone?
Any help with this would be appreciated.  Just want to do things correctly so 
things work the way they should.

Thanks,

Chris

Trouble with ring tones

[Chris Chaffin]

I made a ring tone from a song I have that was a total of 36 seconds.  The file 
extension is m4r.
I dropped it in the automatic iTunes folder, and when I open up iTunes, it is 
there under Ring Tones as it is suppose to be.  But when I sync my iPhone with 
iTunes, for some reason it does not show up on my phone.

Things I have tried:
Syncing it multiple times, even after restarting my phone as well as iTunes.

Just to see if iTunes was syncing correctly, I deleted some ring tones from 
iTunes, then synced my phone again to see if those ring tones would be deleted 
from my phone, and yes, they were.
So if anyone knows why this ring tone is not syncing to my phone, please let me 
know!

Chris

Re: Apps for keeping up with sports scores

I do not see any in app purchases for alerts, but I can say that there is still 
an app purchase for no ads for $4.99.

Re: device not supported by apple watch

[Chris Chaffin]

To restart the watch:
Hold in the friend button for a couple of seconds and you will get a pop up 
screen.
Just swipe to power off and double tap.
It does take a couple of minutes to totally power off.

Once off, just hold in the friend button for about 2 seconds and release to 
start the watch in the turning on process.  It will take a couple of minutes to 
completely turn on your watch.
I do not restart my watch that often, but if it starts acting funny in any way, 
I just restart it, and it usually fixes it.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: device not supported by apple watch

No, it would not be because you have not updated to the latest watch OS version.
I would suspect that maybe the charger is starting to go out.

You could always restart the watch and see if that helps.

Re: Apps for keeping up with sports scores

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello,
To be honest, I am not sure.  I did look in the App Store and saw exactly what 
you are talking about, but after looking through the app, I am unable to find 
anything regarding this.
To get a definite answer you could contact the developer.  There is a contact 
button under the more tab at the bottom.

I did find where I could do away with ads for $4.99, and subscription buttons 
for the picks, but nothing regarding alerts.
Just to let you know, there is also another place where you can set different 
types of alerts for each sport.  Go to the Alerts Badge tab at the bottom.
At the top of the page you will find 2 choices, Received Alerts and Set League 
Alerts.
Received Alerts is just a list of all of the alerts that you have received in 
descending order, most recent first.  It depends on how many teams you have in 
your favorites and how many types of alerts selected, my list goes back to last 
Wednesday, August 3rd.
NOW to see the additional alerts, double tap on Set League Alerts, then double 
tap on the League or type of sport you want to see the alerts for.  You will 
then see the list of different alerts available for that sport.

I hope this has been helpful.

Chris

Re: Apps for keeping up with sports scores

[Chris Chaffin]

First, instead of choosing a sport, choose Favorite teams.
Choose the Team tab at the bottom.
if you start at the top and swipe down the screen, you will find each of your 
favorite teams listed by sport.
Just double tap on the team name to go to the alert page for that team.
You will have to set up the alerts for each of your favorite teams individually.

There might be another way, but this is how I did it.

Hope this helps.

Chris

Re: Apps for keeping up with sports scores

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello,
I also use Sport scores and alerts, and I will say that after you set it up 
with your favorite teams and the type of alerts, there is nothing else you will 
have to open the app for.
One thing I like about it is that it allows you to customize what type of 
alerts you get for each of your favorite teams.
For example, for each NFL team, you can have the following alerts:
Team News.
Game Started.
Game Complete.
End of Quarter.
Score Change.
Leed Change.
Close Game.
Red Zone.
Score Updates every 5 Minutes.

Of coarse, you do not have to have all of these types alerts turned on.  You 
only turn on the types of alerts you want.

If you need any help with the app, let me know.

Hope this helps,

Chris
But having all of these different types of alerts available helps you keep 
really good track of the game in case you are out and can not watch the game.

Hey all,

I have heard a lot about the app called what’s app.  I am thinking of 
installing it, but I was wondering for those that use it, what do you like, or 
dislike about it?
also, any help you can give me on how to use it would be helpful.
Thanks,

Alan,
The exact same thing happened to me some months ago, and since I do not ever

Might be something you consider if punctuation is something you never change.

Re: App to Export Calendar to a Spreadsheet?

[Chris Chaffin]

After a google search I found the app x calendar.
I did download the lite version and to my surprise all buttons were labeled and 
seems accessible.  But please know that I did not go through the entire process 
of exporting my calendar.

This app seems pretty cool, and I am considering getting the full paid version. 
 With that version you can do both, import and export from your ios calendar.  
And the paid version also has dropbox support plus many more features.  The 
paid version is $2.99 in the app store.

Below I have put links for both versions, the free lite version, and the paid 
version.

Free lite version:

SA Contacts & xCalendars by Sam Yu
https://appsto.re/us/GXq-9.i

Paid version:

xCalendar - Export/Import Calendar to/from an Excel file by Sam Yu
https://appsto.re/us/iF_2G.i

Hope this has been helpful.

Re: Seeing entire message on an iPhone

[Chris Chaffin]

You have to use the rotor and select what you want to read by; character, word, 
or line.
To spell a word out that you do not understand, use characters on the rotor.

Remember once you select what you want to read by on the rotor, just flick down 
to read from left to right, and flick up to go back from right to left.

HTH,

Re: Recommendations on to do lists apps

[Chris Chaffin]

I personally use the ios native reminders app.  I use it for both things I need 
to get done at home and at work.
It is not necessary, but you can create different list to help you better 
organize your task.  For example, I have a work list for my task at work, a 
bills list to help me manage and keep up when they are due, and my list of task 
I need to get done at home.
You can customize them to remind you at a specific time, or at a specific 
location.  And there is many ways of having them to repeat when you need them 
too.
Reminders will remain there until you check the box saying that they have been 
completed.

You can also add the reminders app to your today screen so you can quickly 
access them.
One other feature I like that I will mention, is that after opening the 
reminders app, if you will double tap on scheduled, then you will find your 
reminders listed by day, so you can see what reminders are coming up tomorrow, 
or next week, or so on.

I have tried a lot of the third party to do apps, and I always come back to the 
ios reminders app.
If you have any specific questions, let us know.

Chris

Re: Questions regarding the IPod

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello Terri,
Other places other than Apple offer refurbished iPods.  I got both of my kids 
refurbished 5th generation iPods a couple of years ago from Walmart.  I have 
also seen used or refurbished iPods at places like Best Buy and Amazon.  Just 
go to their site and do a search for Refurbished iPod and see what comes up.

For audio books and movies, I would also recommend dropbox to help free up some 
space on your phone.  Dropbox is a great storage solution when you do not have 
a lot of space on your phone.

Hope this helps.

Re: Questions regarding the IPod

[Chris Chaffin]

It is hard to say, but I have had some apps come out with updates that I could 
not get since I was not running the most recent version of ios.
So after ios 10 comes out, the apps you are using might still support ios 9 at 
first, but after a while they will probably drop that support.

You could always run the version you had currently on your iPod, but there is 
no guarantee that you will always be able to update to the most recent version 
of the app, especially since the iPod 5 will not be supported by ios 10.
So if having the most recent version of the app is important to you, then you

Re: How to stop notifications from being read from the lock screen

[Chris Chaffin]

Under the notification settings for Facebook Messenger or any app, you have one 
setting to show in the notification center, and one setting to show on the lock 
screen.
So if you turn off the setting to show on the lock screen, then notifications 
for that app will no longer show on your lock screen, but it will still be 
listed in the notification center for you to view it there.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Spellchecking an email

[Chris Chaffin]

The feature is called auto correct, and I think it is turned on by default.
To turn it off, go to settings / general / keyboard.
Swipe right until you hear, auto correct, and it should say selected.  Just 
double tap it to unselect it and turn it off.

Hope this helps,

Re: Voicedream writer: a question about cursor routing while editing

[Chris Chaffin]

Since not all edit fields have lines, I know that the rotor will not be on 
lines when I get in the edit field of Writer.  So when I put focus on the edit 
field in the writer app, I then change to lines before starting to proof read.  
Once I start proof reading, I have no problems in keeping the rotor on lines.

Re: How /Do I Close a Folder with Files in It?

[Chris Chaffin]

Evan,

If in the dropbox app, there is a back button at the top left that will let you 
go back to your list of folders.
The scrub gesture will also work.  To do the scrub gesture, put 2 fingers on 
the right side of your screen, about half way down,  next to the edge.  Make 
sure your fingers are a little apart.
Then you want to move your fingers back and forth 2 times going about half way 
across your screen.
This is at least how I do it on my phone.

So you have 2 ways of going back and closing a folder.  Let me know if you have 
more questions.

Chris

Re: Voicedream writer: a question about cursor routing while editing

[Chris Chaffin]

Before proof reading the document, I would recommend using the spell check 
feature to check and correct all spelling errors.  Then you could proof read 
the document for grammar and to make sure it sounds good to you.
I personally use the rotor and voice over to do this.  I set voice over to read 
by line, then if something does not sound right The edit cursor is is already 
close to where I need it to be.

Being very familiar with the rotor can help you be very efficient in moving the 
cursor and editing text.
The only thing that might be a good feature to add is to make the edit cursor 
follow along with the proofreading cursor, so if you want to make any changes, 
the edit cursor would be ready at the same place in the document.  You might 
want to contact the developer to see if he could add this feature.

Re: Voicedream writer: how to import files from dropbox

[Chris Chaffin]

Is the file you are trying to open from Dropbox a plain text file?
Currently, this is the only type of file you can import.

After double tapping the file you want, it should automatically close the 
dropbox windows and put the file in the edit field within the Writer app.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Verizon Cloud

[Chris Chaffin]

I have added the verizon widget to my today screen to help me keep an eye on my 
data usage.

This helps me keep track of how much data my kids have used.

Re: My verizon app

[Chris Chaffin]

I have the widget for the verizon app added to my home screen to help me keep 
up with the data I have used.  After updating I double tapped on the widget to 
open the app.  I did not encounter any videos, and even though I noticed a 
couple of new things, it all seemed accessible to me.
Looks like the videos is what is causing the problem.  Once you get past them, 
everything will be fine.

Re: A Question for iOS Facebook App Users

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello Mark,
Like you, unless their is a gesture that I do not know about, I could not find 
a way to go to someones profile from their actual post.
But I did find that the option does come up from a comment.

So if someone makes a comment, you can just do a double tap and hold on their 
name, and from the pop up menu, one of the choices is to go to that persons 
profile.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Email Notifications

[Chris Chaffin]

Yes you can set a different sound for each account.
Go to Settings / Notifications / Mail.
In there you will see a button for each account.  Just double tap on the 
account button, then one swipe after Show in Notification Center, you will find 
the button for the current sound.  Just double tap on it to choose the sound 
for that account.
Then repeat this for each account.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: dropvox recorder

[Chris Chaffin]

Here is 2 settings that should turn off Dropvox from uploading recordings using 
cellular data.

First, go to Settings / Dropvox, and it will say, allow Dropvox to access, and 
Cell data is one of the choices.  Just double tap it to unselect it.
Next, go to Settings / Cellular, and after swiping down the screen, you will 
hear, Use cellular data for, and you will find a list of apps.  Swipe down to 
Dropvox and double tap it to turn it off.

Not sure if both settings are necessary, but wanted to tell you about both.
Either way, this will stop Dropvox from using cell data to upload your 
recordings.

Hope this helps,

Chris

bug in rev recorder, looking for another recording app.

[Chris Judd]

Hey all,
A few days ago, I posted a question about what recording app people use that 
will record in m4A, or allow you to use the m4A format.
You guys gave me great suggestions, but I found a bug in rev recorder.  Today, 
I tried to record something, and with the screen locked, I found out that rev 
locks, and stops recording after 6 minutes.
I was wondering if anyone can please give me again what recording apps you use, 
and if you know of any that will let you lock the screen, and have the 
recording still be going?
Thanks for any help,
Chris

IPhone not saying number of messages.

[Chris Judd]

Hey all,

I have the latest update to IOS, and usually, I can have voice over say 
messages, 4 unread messages.
Now, it just says messages, and I have to go in to the messages app to see how 
many I have.
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue?  It really isn’t a 
big deal to me, but I was wondering if there is a setting that I can change, or 
if I’m not the only one that is experiencing this.  I have an IPhone 5S.

siri not working.

[Chris Judd]

Hey all,

Every time I press the home button to start siri, I don’t hear the sound for 
siri to start up.
I have tried to turn off siri, and restart it again with no luck.
I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem?

Re: JAWS and Window-Eyes

[Chris Chaffin]

Richard,
In the last FS Podcast, Jonathan was interviewing the CCO of VFO, which was the 
previous CEO of Optelec.  One thing Jonathan asked him was, what does VFO stand 
for.  The answer is, Vision Freedom Optelec.
He said that since FS and Optelec are going to remain their own companies, 
there had to be a mother company that acted as the umbrella company of the 
brand companies.  At no time will you see the name of VFO on any product.  The 
product lines of FS and Optelec will remain the same.  Of coarse the podcast 
was put out prior to the acquisition of AI Squared.

It is definitely going to be interesting to see how things play out since there 
is now all of the competitors under one umbrella!
I also wonder how much smart phones and tablets like the iPhone and iPad have 
contributed to the consolidations within the assistive technology industry.

Re: Siri

[Chris Chaffin]

I will admit that working with Siri can be challenging, and it is true, it does 
make a difference how things are said.  But with a little practice, once you 
find out what works the best, Siri can be very helpful in achieving task 
quickly.
For example, when adding an appointment to my calendar, I learned that the 
following works the best for me.
I say, schedule, name of appointment,, at, time of appointment, day or date of 
appointment.

And I just tried to schedule an appointment at 4:45, and I did not have a 
problem.  I tried saying both, 4:45, as well as a quarter til five, and Siri 
did it both times.

Now, I will agree, Siri could use some improvements, and I do look forward to 
see what ios 10 might bring.
The way I look at it, even though Siri is definitely not perfect, I am just 
proud to have her assistance to do what she can.  I know that with time she 
will continue to get better and do more.

Re: 2 questions, regarding Bard

[Chris Chaffin]

One thing I do when I am listening to something and do not want the sounds of 
notifications to bother me, I just hit the mute switch on the side of my phone. 
 That way I do not hear all of the notification sounds and I do not have to 
worry about those sounds lowering the volume of my book.
There are other things that you can do, but this is just what I do.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: 2 questions, regarding Bard

[Chris Chaffin]

I am assuming that you do not remember your log in information after resetting 
your settings.  If that is the case then I would recommend calling BARD'S 
support phone number for help.
1-800-342-3688

As far as the volume, the Bard app uses the same volume that music uses.  You 
can use the up and down volume buttons on the side of your device, or the 
volume control can also be found in the control center.  To get to the control 
center, just touch the status bar where the clock is located, then swipe up 
with three fingers.  The volume control is near the bottom of that screen.  To 
exit the control center, just press the home button.

Hope this helps,

Reminder App

[Chris Chaffin]

I have had a sudden change in how reminders are shown in my list of 
notifications and on my lock screen, and wondered if anyone had any ideas.
Previously, each reminder that was due would show up in my list of 
notifications and on my lock screen.  Now it just gives one notification for 
all reminders and says how many days they are past due.
For example, it says, reminders due 5 days ago, and that is it!

I have turned off reminder notifications, then turned them back on, tried 
restarting my phone, and I even did a reset by holding down the home button and 
power button, but no change at all.  I am not sure what else to do.

Now for those who do not know, one of the new features of ios 9 was to list any 
reminder that was due on your lock screen.  This gave you quick and easy access 
to better help you remember what you have to get done.  I really use my 
reminders a lot, so I really liked this new feature.  By the reminders being 
there everytime I unlocked my phone it helped me make sure I did not forget the 
task I had to get done.
But now all of a sudden, it has changed the way it is listing the reminder 
notifications.

Again, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Thanks,

Chris

Yes, some podcast providers, like NBC related podcast only provide the most

For these podcast I normally download them just to make sure that I do not miss

Re: Downcast and podcasts

[Chris Chaffin]

Two things to look at:
In Downcast, once you double tap on a podcast to get a list of episodes to 
listen to, near the bottom of the screen, I have a button called, View Other 
Available Episodes.  If I double tap on that button, I am able to get the 
entire list of episodes available for that particular podcast.  I can then 
stream or download any of the episodes in the list.

Second, have you considered the podcast app Overcast?
It is a free app and is totally VO accessible.
With Overcast, you have the choice of downloading or streaming the episodes of 
your podcast.  Overcast also gives you a list of all available episodes for 
each podcast that you can listen to at anytime.
I actually like and have both apps.  If you wanted to give Overcast a try, you 
can export your list of podcast from downcast, and import it into Overcast.

Just in case you are interested in Overcast, here is the link to the app store:

Overcast: Podcast Player by Overcast Radio, LLC
https://appsto.re/us/jhe90.i

Hope this has been helpful.

voice assistance apps

[Chris Judd]

Hey all,

I know the IPhone has serie, but I was wondering of any other apps that people 
use for voice assistance?
I know that you can use google, and it will read things to you, but I’m 
wondering if that is just for the droyed.
The other day, we were wanting to cook lopster, and someone who was over with 
us asked google how to cook the lopster, and the phone read it to her.
I think she has a droyed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Chris

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
Every so often, I have to sign in to the ITunes store.  I get a notification

Re: NLS books

[Chris Chaffin]

Remember, BARD books are audio books, and therefore, page numbers are not 
usually announced.
But as stated in another message, when you stop a book, you will be able to 
resume at the same spot when you start the BARD app the next time.  Actually, 
BARD will remember where you stopped in as many books as you have downloaded to 
the app.
In addition, you can also add as many bookmarks as you want to a book, then 
jump from one bookmark to the next if needed.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: news apps

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello Mary,

>From the main screen, you will have an add button.  Just double tap that to go 
>to the add feed screen.
You will have a list of topics, and you will have a search.  Either double tap 
the search to search for a particular feed, or double tap on a topic to get a 
list of feeds for that particular topic.
Once you have the feed you want to add, just double tap on it, and it will take 
you to the final screen to add that feed.  On that screen, you will have your 
list of current folders, an add folder button to create a new folder if you 
want, and a save button.
First create the folder you want or double tap on the folder you want to add 
the feed too.  Once you have chosen the folder, then just double tap the save 
button to finalize everything and have that feed added.

Now for a feed that has already been added but is not in a folder, I have not 
found out a way to move it to a folder.  The only way I know, is to delete the 
current feed, then readd it to the folder you want by following the steps 
listed above.
A quick way of deleting a feed is by using the action choice on your rotor.  So 
when you are on a feed, just flick up or down with one finger, and delete is 
one of the choices.

Hope this has been helpful,

Chris

As far as notifications, I like Breaking News.  You can select the news sources 
you want news from.  As far as RSS, I use newsify.  I think information about 
these apps can be found on AppleVis.  You can find the app store links for both

Re: Any Way to Get My Winamp Bookmarks Over to My New iPad Mini 4?

Hello Evan,

I found this article on AppleVis that might do what you are looking for with 
your Internet Radio Stations.  I did not find a simple way of just exporting 
the bookmark file, then importing it onto your iPad.  But give this article a 
read.  Hopefully it will let you accomplish what you want.

Re: First experiences with KNFB Reader

[Chris Chaffin]

As far as KNFB Reader being a choice in the share sheet, well, that might be 
depending on what type of file it is.  I use it all the time with PDF files and 
it works great.
I am not sure what can be done to also include image files, but you could 
always contact the developers to make the suggestion.
Glad your first experience was such a good one!!

Re: Moving RSS feeds from IE 11 to IPhone

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello,
You can export your RSS feeds from Internet Explorer to a file that you can 
then load on to your iPhone.

To export the RSS feeds, go to file menu in Internet Explorer and hit enter on 
Import / Export.
This will bring up a dialog box.  You will have radio buttons, arrow up or down 
until you hear, export to a file, then tab to the next button.
Just follow the wizard and it will export your RSS feeds into an .opml file.

There is more than one way to get the file to your phone, but I think one of 
the quickest is to use one of the storage providers like Dropbox, One Drive, or 
iCloud Drive.
You should then be able to import the file into the RSS Reader app that you 
decide to use.
Personally, I like Newsify, but there are several out there to choose from.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Annoying Siri behavior

[Chris Chaffin]

My Sirius XM app is on my second screen, and it has no problem opening it.
Now, do not forget that you can also use either the handwriting feature, or the 
built in Braille Keyboard to find and open apps on your phone.
I have used both.  For more information regarding these features, you can go to 
AppleVis.com.

Re: Annoying Siri behavior

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello Bill,

I am in the US, and I also was able to open the Sirius XM app without a problem 
with Siri.  I did try this multiple times.
I do not know why it does not work for you.  All I can think of is that Siri is 
not totally understanding what you are saying.

Re: siri volume

[Chris Chaffin]

The only way I know to adjust the volume of Siri is to:

Hold down the home button to activate Siri.
And then after you hear the beeps, use the up and down volume buttons to adjust 
the volume.

Hope this helps.

Re: A Good Calendar App

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello All,

Just a little calendar tip.
Just like you can use Siri to create a calendar event, you can also use Siri to 
tell you many things regarding your calendar and the events you have coming up.
For example, you can ask Siri things like:

What is on my schedule today?  And Siri will list the events and times of what 
is on your calendar for that day.
Or, What is on my schedule for the week?  And Siri will tell you what is on 
your calendar for the week.
Now one thing I do at the first of each month is to get Siri to tell me the 
upcoming birthdays for that month.  The key to finding things is to make sure 
you say it correctly.  If I ask Siri what birthdays are scheduled for June, 
then Siri will answer that there is none.  And that is because for each persons 
birthday, I enter on my calendar the person's name and the wore birthday, not 
birthdays.  So if I ask Siri, what birthday do I have scheduled for June, then 
Siri will search the June calendar for every event that has the word birthday 
in it and list it out.
Again, Siri can be very helpful in searching your calendar, but you have to 
give Siri the correct words to search for.

Like I can ask Siri, when is my next haircut scheduled?  And Siri will search 
the calendar for the next mention of the word haircut, then she will tell me 
the date and time.
So as long as you have an internet connection, Siri can really help you find 
things on your calendar very quickly.

I hope this has been helpful!

Chris

Re: Why Would You Choose the KNFB Reader Over The Other Options?

[Chris Chaffin]

Being a user of computer OCR software like Open Book and Kurzweil for years 
now, I was a little skeptical regarding the KNFB Reader app and how accurate it 
was actually going to be.  I mean, most of our hands move slightly when holding 
up our devices only naturally, so I thought for this reason, the app could only 
be so good at scanning.
But after getting the app, I must say that I was just overwhelmed in how good 
and accurate of a job it did!!

Just as someone else reported, I no longer use any OCR software on my computer. 
 The KNFB Reader app is so good, that I use it for all of my scanning needs!!
The amazing thing is that you can get the same accuracy or possibly better, 
just by holding your phone in your hand.  I just find the KNFB Reader makes 
scanning things easier and quicker, therefore making me be more efficient in 
getting things done.

Yes, the app can be said to be a little pricey, but in comparison to the cost 
of OCR software for your computer, it is just a fraction of the price.  And 
since it is just as good, I will say that it is definitely worth the cost.
On top of the great job it does, it also has a lot of great features, like 
being able to save documents to Dropbox.

Of coarse all of this is just my opinion from all of the experience I have had 
with the app.
I hope this has been helpful.

Chris

[Chris Judd]

Hey all,

I currently have the IPhone 5S.  I am do for an upgrade in June, and was 
thinking of upgrading to an IPhone SE.
I was wondering what you guys think of the SE?  I welcome good or bad 
experiences, just looking for different viewpoints.
  should I wait till the 7, or the 7 SE  comes out?
Thanks for any help,
Chris

Re: A Good Calendar App

[Chris Chaffin]

Fantastical does get information from more than one app, like it will also 
bring in your reminders, so you will be able to see everything in one app 
rather than having to look in multiple apps.
But you can also control what information Fantastical displays in the settings, 
so be sure to go into the settings and set things up like you want them.

Fantastical integrates itself with your calendar app, so no matter how you add 
something to your calendar, it will end up in both your calendar as well as 
Fantastical.  The good thing about Fantastical being integrated with your 
calendar is that it allows you to use Siri to add something to your calendar, 
and then it will show up in Fantastical.  The same thing will be for your 
reminders if you choose to use Fantastical for them.
So you have multiple ways of adding something to your calendar.  You can use 
your actual calendar, use Fantastical, or Siri.
 
Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: organizing apps on watch

[Chris Chaffin]

AppleVis has a podcast on this, but I still have not totally understood how to 
move them to end up in the order you want them on your watch.
One thing that has not been explained is how to move them in regards to how 
voice over will read them.  Since the shape of the screen is not traditional, 
something like a bee hive or diamond, we are really not aware of the order 
voice over puts them in relation to their actual place on the screen.
I know there are a lot of watch owners out there that are  also wanting to know 
the same thing!  So if anyone could do a podcast, or explain which direction 
apps must be moved in order to get them in a particular place on your watch, 
this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Chris

Re: Creating a Contact

[Chris Chaffin]

To create a contact from a number from the Recents List:

1, After the number you will find a More Info button, double tap it.
2, If you swipe down the screen, you will come to a Create New Contact button, 
just double tap it to bring you to a new contact page.
3, The number will automatically be entered, you will just have to enter the 
person or company's name in the proper field.
4, Once done, just double tap the done button, and it will take you back to the 
More Info page of the Recents List.

One more thing, you can also just add the number to an existing contact.  If 
you swipe past the Create New Contact button, you will find an Add to An 
Existing Contact button.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Compose does not work in IOS 9.3.1

[Chris Chaffin]

First, you can only send an audio message to another IDevice, so the person you 
are sending it to must have an iPod, iPhone, Or iPad.
So before you put any text into the text box, there should be a record button 
one swipe to the right of the edit box.
It is the record button that you have to double tap and hold on, it will make a 
sound, then you hold your finger down on the button while you record your 
message, then when you are done, you release your finger.

After you put text into the edit box, then the record button automatically 
turns into a send button.  So make sure you record your message first.

I hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Compose does not work in IOS 9.3.1

Can not speak for the compose button, but to send a audio message, just double 
tap and hold on the button.   Do not release your finger until you are done 
talking.
Hope this helps.

Apple Watch and Screen Shots

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello All,

I learned something today about my Apple Watch that I did not know that it did, 
so I thought I would share it with everyone.
I noticed today that over the past week that I had some new photos in my photo 
roll, but I was not sure where they came from since I knew I had not taken any 
pictures.  After further research, I learned that the pictures were screen 
shots of my current Mickey Mouse Apple Watch Face.

So just by accident, I learned that you are able to take screen shots of what 
is on the screen of your Apple Watch.  I did a Google Search to find out how 
this is done, and it is done by pressing a combination of the friends button 
and the crown.  For specifics, check out this link:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204673

Hope this has been helpful.

Chris

Re: copying a post from FB and printing an email

[Chris Chaffin]

You do not have to select any text in order to use the three finger quadruple 
tap gesture.  What it does is it automatically copies the last thing that voice 
over says.

Now, to select, copy, and paste text is all done by using the rotor.  Before 
using the new text selection tool, you must first add it to your rotor.  To do 
this, just go to settings / general / accessibility / voice over / rotor, and 
double tap on text selection.
To use the new text selection tool, once you get to the start of the text you 
want to copy, just turn your rotor to text selection.  Then by flicking with 
one finger up or down, you can choose to select by character, word, line, or 
paragraph.
Then, as you swipe to the right, it will select the text by what you have 
chosen, If you select more than you want, by swiping to the left will unselect 
things by what you have chosen.
Once you have the text that you want selected, then just turn your rotor to 
edit, then flick up or down with one finger to copy and double tap, and your 
selected text will be added to the clipboard.

To paste text that you have copied, and is now on your clipboard, once you are 
in the edit field where you want to paste it, just turn the rotor to edit, and 
flick up or down with one finger until you hear paste, and double tap.
After doing it a few times and getting used to the steps, you will start to get 
quicker at it.

Hope all of this helps,

Chris

Re: Quardiarm and button labeling

[Chris Chaffin]

To label a button, do a two finger double tap and hold, you will hear the 
sound, and a pop up screen will appear.
You will be in the edit field with the current name of the button.  Just delete 
what is there, and type the name you want.  Once done, just make sure you 
double tap on the save button so the new name will be saved.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: copying a post from FB and printing an email

[Chris Chaffin]

I would say no, because it is meant to let you rename or to change the text for 
something.  It would let you change the label for the image, but not to copy 
the image itself.
For copying images, do a double tap and hold to see what options are in the pop 
up menu.  I would say there might either be a copy or open in option.

Re: copying a post from FB and printing an email

[Chris Chaffin]

Another way I have copied Facebook post sometimes is by using the label 
gesture.  Once on the post you want to copy, just do a two finger double tap 
and wait for the pop up screen.  You are in an edit field.  Make sure the edit 
field is activated and in editting mode, then go to edit on the rotor, double 
tap on select all, then go to edit on the rotor again and double tap copy.  
This will copy everything to the clipboard.
Since this puts the entire post in an edit field, then if you wanted, you could 
also use the new text selection feature on the rotor to just select the part of 
the post you wanted.
To exit the pop up screen, just swipe to cancel and double tap.

I sometimes use the change label name feature to copy things that you might 
traditionally not have a way to copy, even though it was not actually meant to 
be used in that manner.
It is a handy little tool!

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: New Apple TV

I am sure that Jonathan's book is very good as usual, but also do not forget 
that David Woodbridge did a podcast series on the new Apple TV, which also 
might be good so you can actually hear what is going on while different task 
are being done.
All of the podcast can be found on applevis.com

Re: Quick way to delete contacts

[Chris Chaffin]

Jewel,

I do not know if this will help your situation, but I had a friend that also 
could not delete certain contacts, and it came up to be because those contacts 
were linked to Facebook.
After he went into Settings / Facebook, and unchecked the box that synced his 
Facebook friends with his contacts, then he was able to delete those contacts.

So I would imagine that the contacts that you are not able to delete is from 
another app like Facebook that has been linked to your contacts.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Chris Chaffin]

A lot of the apps I use on a daily basis has already been mentioned, but here 
are a few.

MBraille, even though we have braille now built into the ios operating system, 
I still like MBraille because of all of its features, including, MBrailbe can 
now be used as an on screen keyboard.  The biggest feature I use is its 
integration with Dropbox, and its built in spell checker.  The developer has 
worked hard to make this app as flexible and customizable as possible.

The Reminder app,  I love and use this app both at home and at work.  This app 
helps me remember the smallest task to the biggest.  With 2 kids, a job, and a 
family life, without this app, I would not be able to remember and get 
everything done.  The Reminder Widget lets me check and keep up with all of my 
reminders right there on the today screen.  And one other thing I will mention 
about this app.  Within the app, there is a scheduled section.  If you double 
tap on this, your reminders will be listed by the date they are due, and you 
can quickly glance at upcoming reminders by using the heading feature in the 
rotor, since each day starts with a heading.  This is a great little native 
app, and keeps getting little improvements over time.

Radium, I use this app to listen to my Sirius radio subscription.  Even though 
the Sirius Radio app is doable, I still like how Radium is totally accessible, 
and its simplicity to use.

Overcast, to me, this is the best free podcast app there is.  And it has some 
good features that has the best sound when speeding up your podcast.  Another 
great feature it has is that it saves a copy of all of your podcast in its own 
cloud, so if you have to reinstall the app or anything, all of your podcast are 
still there.  I will say that there is only one feature that it does not have 
that Downcast has, and that is the ability to export actual podcast files.  
Sometimes I want to keep an actual podcast and save it to Dropbox for future 
reference, and in that instance, I will use Downcast to do that.  But for all 
other podcast task, Overcast is my amp of choice.

Newsify, this is my favorite RSS reader and news app.  One thing I like is that 
I can organize my news by categories, and if I like an article, I can share it 
by Twitter, Facebook, or by any of the ios sharing methods.

Hourly News, I also sometimes use this to get an update on what is going on in 
the news.  This app gives you an audio update from the news sources that you 
choose.  So you have total control of where you get your news.  It is a great 
little app.

Double Post, this app lets you post on multiple social media sources at one 
time.  For example, I use it to post on Facebook and Twitter at the same time.  
It keeps things simple and quick, and keeps you from having to open multiple 
apps.  Everything is done in one single place.

A2Z Contacts,  this app lets you divide your contacts into groups or 
categories, like family, friends, businesses, and work.  You can create as many 
groups as you need too.  You can also send emails or text to any group.  It 
also lets you choose what groups you want to have displayed within your 
contacts, so when looking for a contact, you are not actually going through 
every single one of your contacts.  This makes finding contacts a lot quicker 
and easier.  A great app to have, and the developer has worked hard to make it 
totally accessible with Voice Over.

Dropvox, this is a simple recording app.  It is good for recording lectures, 
podcast, or little memos.  The best thing about it is once done recording, it 
will automatically upload it to your dropbox account so you can then access it 
from anywhere.

Microsoft Excel, this app is pretty accessible. I use excel at my job pretty 
extensively, so the app lets me access any of my excel files at anywhere while 
on the go.  I have not used it for much editing, but as far as just accessing 
information, it is very easy and quick.  I use Dropbox to help access my files 
on the go.

Blindfold games, And for all of my recent gaming needs, I have been playing one 
of the many blindfold games available.  There is almost something for everybody.

After giving it some thought, it is actually kind of scary on how much we 
actually depend on these devices to help us through each and every day.  If 
something happened to our device, it is like our life would stand still.  Would 
we know what to do?  Would we still be able to function?
It is scary to even think about it.

Re: Calendar question

[Chris Chaffin]

An invite from someones google calendar will not be added to your ios calendar. 
 These are two different calendar systems, and they do not integrate with each 
other.
So only an invite from another ios calendar will be added to your ios calendar.

Hope this helps,

Re: Question on data usage.

[Chris Chaffin]

4G LTE as such would cause no increase in the amount of data being used by a 
smartphone. However the higher access speeds offered by 4G LTE leads to 
subscribers staying online for a larger amount of time during a data session 
thereby increasing the data usage. Also, with better speeds and lower latency, 
subscribers install a lot of apps on their phones and most of these apps are 
chatty. These apps interact at regular intervals with their servers to look for 
updates and notifications, further increasing the amount of data being used.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Question on data usage.

[Chris Chaffin]

Even though you can check data usage in settings, I like getting the 
information straight from my cell provider if possible.  I found that the data 
usage listed in my settings did not always match what my cell provider said I 
had used.  And when it comes to going over and being charged for it, I want to 
be accurate when knowing how much data I have used.
LIKE I use the My Verizon app to track and keep up with my data.  This way I 
know the correct amount since it is coming directly from them.
I checked the app store, and even though I do not know how accessible it is, 
there is an app for Consumer Cellular that I would highly recommend you check 
out.
Here is the app store link:

My Consumer Cellular by Consumer Cellular
https://appsto.re/us/mUyJU.i

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Family sharing and Itunes gift card question, please help.

[Chris Chaffin]

If one of your family members gets an iTunes gift card and adds the credit to 
their device, then all future purchases they make will automatically be 
deducted from that iTunes gift card until it is all used up.
No other family member will be able to use the credit from the iTunes gift card 
except for the person the gift card belongs too.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: Calendar

[Chris Chaffin]

Would you happen to have only readable shared or subscribed calendars selected? 
 Double tap the calendars tab at the bottom of the screen to see which 
calendars are chosen.  You need one of the main calendars selected.  I myself 
have the All iCloud calendars chosen, and everything works fine here.

Another thing I found on the Apple forums, is to go to settings / iCloud, and 
turn off the calendar by unchecking it, then turn it back on by checking the 
box.  This has helped some people who has hae the same problem.

Good luck!

Re: zello and voiceover

[Chris Chaffin]

Since no one else is really having this problem, I think this is what I would 
try:

1, Empty the app switcher, then shut down my phone for a couple of minutes, 
then restart it.
2, If that makes no difference, I would delete the Zello app, restart my phone, 
then redownload the Zello app.
3, If still no difference, then I would consider a reset, holding down the home 
button and the power button at the same time for about 10 seconds.

Sounds like the audio ducking is kicking in to bring down the volume of VO, but 
not turning off to let VO go back to its normal volume.
Not sure what else to try.

Good luck,

Chris

Re: email attachments

[Chris Chaffin]

It is true, the native mail app now has attachments built into the app, but it 
only lets you attach files from your icloud drive account.  I have been trying 
to find out how to get a file from my dropbox app to icloud drive, but have not 
found one yet.  The attachment option is on the rotor under the edit option.  
You will see it as long as you are in the body of the email.
In order to attach a file to an email, I have had to use the Phone Drive app to 
do so.

I first share the file from my dropbox app and open in the phone drive app.
>From the phone drive app, I select the file I want to email, then one thing 
>you can do with selected files is to attach them to an email.  So I just

A blank email appears with the file attached, and that is it.

Now if I have to send that same file again in an email, it is already in the 
phone drive app, so I do not have to get it from dropbox.
I am sure there are other apps like Phone Drive that will let you send files as 
attachments in an email, but do not know of any specifically.

I hope Apple will expand the sources that you are able to add attachments to 
emails in a later ios version.

I hope this has been helpful.

Re: Dual USB/Lightening Flash Drives

[Chris Chaffin]

I read that the purpose of this device was to easily move pictures too and from 
your device.
No other file types can be transferred.  Maybe Ryan can clarify this.

Re: apple music

[Chris Chaffin]

When an app is in the app switcher, it is running in the background, like 
minimized to the task bar on a computer.
If it is closed or taken out of the app switcher, then that totally stops the 
app from running, like performing an alt f4 on a computer.
So any app that is taken out of the app switcher should not run anymore without 
double tapping on it to restart it.
Since you state that Spotify does continue to run even though you take it out 
of the app switcher, actually, this should be considered a bug in Spotify.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: apple watch

[Chris Chaffin]

after dictating a message, you are then given the choice to send that message 
as audio, or text.  You are not given a way to edit the message, but if it is 
not correct, then you just double tap cancel and dictate it again.
Now, there are also pre prepared messages in which you can change to what you 
want them to say.  To send one of those messages, you just double tap on it.  
For example, like the message, OK or thank you.  Of coarse these pre prepared 
messages would be messages that you would use on a regular basis.

As far as dictating, I would say that my messages are 99 percent correct.
Being able to receive and reply to messages right on my watch without having to 
take out my phone, is just one thing I love about having my watch.

Re: apple watch

[Chris Chaffin]

As far as reading Bookshare and BARD books from the watch, the answer is no.  
The only thing you can do is stop and start a BARD book from your watch, but 
the audio will still either come from your phone or bluetooth headset.  Your 
watch has something called a now playing screen.  From this screen, you can 
control the last audio that was played on your phone no matter what app it came 
from.

Second, as far as text messages, yes, you can send and receive messages on your 
watch.  But any message you send must be dictated since the watch screen is to 
small for a keyboard.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Re: what app to use to cut and trim audio?

[Chris Chaffin]

Yes, I export files to dropbox all the time.
One thing you will have to check out is what formats are available to save 
files.  The files it has saved for me have been in the m4a format.  Now you are 
able to import files of a variety of formats, but you are more restricted when 
it comes to saving files.

Re: merits of updating

[Chris Chaffin]

I do not have a problem moving by headings in my contacts and everything is in 
alphabetical order.
Not sure why you are having that problem.

Running ios 9.3 on an iphone 6.

Re: what are twitter lists?

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello Chris,

Twitter list is a good way of organizing who you follow on twitter.  I mainly 
use list and I love it.
For example, I have a list called news, and I have all of the different news 
people and organizations that I follow associated with this list.  So if I want 
to get the latest news tweets, then I just go to this list.
I have another list called adaptive tech, and this is of coarse a list made up 
of any person or company associated with adaptive technology.  So when I want 
to check out the recent tweets associated with adaptive tech, I just go to this 
list.

So instead of having everything in one single big list, you have things divided 
into different categories.  This can also help in making sure that you do not 
miss a tweet because it is way down in your big list, but would be closer to 
the top if divided into categories.
Now how to make list and add people you follow to the list can vary depending 
on what you use for a twitter client.
But I hope this has helped you understand a little more about twitter list.

Chris

what are twitter lists?

[Chris Judd]

Hey all,

This is a question for those that use twitter.  I am thinking of starting a 
list, but don’t know the concept behind it.
If someone could please explain to me what a twitter list is, and if you don’t 
mind, record for me a brief demo of how I would use such a list, I would 
appreciate it.
I know a lot of people use this feature, and I would like to start using it 
myself.
Thanks for any help,

Re: Email notifications

[Chris Chaffin]

I would recommend using the VIP mailbox available in the mail app.  The VIP 
allows you to add people that you will receive messages from that you do not 
want to miss.
You can also turn on notifications for your VIP mailbox, so it has a particular 
sound when you get a message from one of the people you have assigned to your 
VIP mailbox, and you will also get a notification on your lock screen as well 
as in the notification screen.  To me, this is what you are looking for.

To add someone to the VIP mailbox, you can do it one of two ways:
First, in a message you received from that person, double tap on their name at 
the top of the screen.  On that screen just tap add to VIP, and they will 
automatically be added to your VIP list.

The second way:
Open the mail app, swipe until you hear VIP and double tap.
Now, swipe until you hear Add to VIP.
This will bring up your contacts.  Just swipe to the person you want to add and 
double tap their name.
It will then add them to your VIP list and put you back in the VIP folder in 
the mail app.

Now also, in VIP in the mail app, you can just double tap on VIP alerts to 
bring up the notification screen for VIP.  This is where you would change the 
sound if you want, plus adjust any of the other notification settings.

I hope this information has been helpful.

Chris

Re: 9.3 so far

[Chris Chaffin]

I am in portrait view, and here is what I do:

To go to the next app, I place four of my fingers on the left side of the 
screen, with a little space between each finger.  And yes, it is ok to place 
your fingers directly on the screen.
I then  just drag my fingers to the right across the screen.

Now it will not cycle around, so when you get to the last app going left to 
right, you then must go right to left to go back.  So the gesture goes both 
ways.
The only app I have trouble with is MBraille, but all other ones work fine for 
me.

Hope this helps.

Chris

Re: Iphone 4s and voiceover not working right

[Chris Chaffin]

You might want to try doing a reset of your phone.
Hold down the home button and power button at the same time for about 10 
seconds.  Your phone will automatically shut down and then restart.
Hopefully this will fix the problem.

Re: notes app. help.

[Chris Chaffin]

Since it is on an iPad, could it have a split screen, therefore putting the new 
button on a different section of the screen?
I think if you have containers on the rotor, then you can use them to jump to 
different sections of the screen.

Hope this helps,

Re: Apple Watch won't speak

[Chris Chaffin]

I would take it to an Apple Store if available, and if not, I would call Apple 
Accessibility.
Since you do not have voice over, you might want to have sighted assistance 
there with you before calling Apple Accessibility.

Good luck!

Re: best way to check Verizon data usage

[Chris Chaffin]

I use the widget from the Verizon App.  The app is very accessible with voice 
over, but if you use the widget, it allows you to keep track of your total data 
usage very easily by just checking on your today screen.
And just by double tapping on the amount of data you have used on your today 
screen, it will open up the Verizon app to the screen with the data usage 
divided up by each device.

Since I have four devices on my plan, it is important that I keep an eye on my 
total data used.
Now, when you first download the app, you will of coarse have to sign in with 
your Verizon log in information.  But after that you should be all set.

If you have any questions, let me know, and I will try to help out in any way I 
can.
Please find the app store link below.
