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

 

Hello,

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

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

There is no Speed control slider.

None of the tabs along the bottom work.

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

I deleted the app.

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

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

 

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

I wrote NLS immediately.

 

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

 

 

Richard, USA.

Sounds like screen recognition got turned on. If you have it on the rotor, open 
BARD Mobile, turn the rotor to Screen Recognition, and turn it off. If not, 
you’ll need to turn it off in VoiceOVer Settings.

Best,
Anna

Problem solved.

That effing screen recognition got turned on somehow.

I just thought to check that.

It is off and all is normal again.

 

Sorry for the time waste.

I just went to a book I was reading on my phone and didn't see the message so I 
gues since I saw it on the computer and responded to it I won't have that 
issue.  But I too haven't upgraded and am still on 15 point whatever it is so 
that may be another reason I haven't experienced the problem I don't know.  I'm 
sorry this happened on a weekend when your talking book library won't be open 
and I don't know if the bard people respond to tech support rrequests on a 
weekend or not but hopefully they or apple will be able to help.

Hi Richard,

 

I'm not seeing this problem at all. I saw that message I think yesterday or 
maybe the day before. I had to click on the ok button or whatever it was twice 
to get rid of the message, but that was it. Everything is working normally. I 
have not yet upgraded to 16, so maybe that's the difference? This is a Xr, but 
I haven't tried on my old 7+ yet.

[BlindApples] BARDMobile virtually not usable after System network warning

2022-10-01 Thread Richard Turner 
Hello,

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

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

There is no Speed control slider.

None of the tabs along the bottom work.

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

I deleted the app.

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

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

 

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

I wrote NLS immediately.

 

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