Subject: Getting started with Blind Square

 

Hi,

 

I just downloaded Blind Square and am a little overwhelmed by all the options.  
I have a couple of questions that hopefully will get me started.

 

When I decided to get Blind Square I thought it would work in a similar way to 
Apple Maps or Good Maps Outdoors.  After reading some of the manual, it seems 
that Blind Square works in conjunction with Apple Maps and not in place of it.  
So, what do I need to do to use them together?

 

Second, I bought Blind Square because I want to explore routes and destinations 
starting from a location different than my actual location.  My wife and I are 
buying a house in a different town.  I’d like to figure out what businesses are 
in the area of our new house.  I’d like to figure out the location of 
particular types of businesses such as drug stores or florists (our anniversary 
is coming soon) to know which I can reach by walking or by public 
transportation.  

 

Any pointers to get me started would be much appreciated.

 

Ralph

RE: Getting started with Blind Square

2023-03-22 Thread Richard Turner
BlindSquare is not a turn-by-turn navigation app, as you have figured out.

Yu an search for a business or address, and once found, you will find an option 
to begin a route, then you will have a choice of which navigation app to use.

You can leave BlindSquare running in the background when the other app, Google 
or Apple, takes over and blindsquare will continue giving you updates.  That 
can get a little busy.

 

As for exploring an area, search for the address of your new house, then keep 
flicking through the options to Simulate This Location.

Once you start the simulation, you can use the various categories to explore 
what is around yu.

 

It takes some patience and trial and error, but works quite well.

 

Note, the data may or not be up to date.  Sometimes businesses go out or change 
names and the digital map takes a long time to get updated.

 

Enjoy,

Re: Re downloading Blind Square

2021-10-06 Thread Donna Casteen
Hi

I experienced the same situation when I was setting up my new iPhone 11 several 
months ago. The developer informed that this sometimes happens, an app in the 
app store shows that it hasn't been purchased when in actuality the app has 
been purchased. If you are currently using the same Apple ID that you used to 
purchase the app, just tap on the price & the app will download wwithout 
charging your account. If you you have your copy of the purchase receipt or get 
a copy by going into purchase history within the app store my account, the 
developer will send you a code to use to redownload the app.

Hello, first of all I am CCing the developer of that app in this email. And he 
might be able to shed some light to you privately. Secondly, if you're using 
the same Apple ID that you've always used, meaning you did not make a new Apple 
ID whenever you set up one of your previous iPhones, you should not be asked to 
pay for it again. Hopefully Ilkka will be able to provide you with some 
information as well.

I bought Blind Square several years ago, but have not had it on any of my 
devices for quite a while. I just checked the app store, and it still says 
redownload. I would call either the apple main number, or apple accessibility 
about it, before I cost myself $40 for nothing.

Subject: blind square help please. How do I enter a distant location into my

hi,
I am trying to enter a distant location into the my places portion of blind 
square so I can do a simulation of a route.
I have read and reread the help section several times, and I just cannot figure 
it out.
can someone please explain to me, from the opening screen of BlindSquare, 
exactly what I must do in a step-by-step fashion in order to enter a distant 
location and then simulate the route?
my understanding is that I need to add a location into my places. From my 
places, I am pretty sure I can go to the actions button and then click on 
simulator route
The problem is, when I enter the distant location address in the opening screen 
top left search field, I get a message that the search location is not within 
the defined 1 mile radius of my places section. I cannot seem to figure out a 
way around this.

Any help will be most appreciated. Best, Keith

I found the below in the settings help. Somewhere in there is a restore my 
places in the Other menu I think.
If someone knows more I hope they'll chime in.
you use iCloud, BlindSquare will save your settings to iCloud and they will be 
synchronized between your devices. If you are using BlindSquare on several 
devices, it will suffice to select your preferred settings on one device, 
because they will be shared between all of your devices connected to the same 
iCloud account.

Re: blind square help please. How do I enter a distant location into my places so that I can simulate a route?

2020-02-03 Thread Richard Turner
You do not need to go into settings, first. Just use the search button in the 
top left.
Then, once you have your destination found, double tap on it and then flick to 
simulate location.
Also, BTW, the search radius is for when you use a category like my places, 
food, etc.

I have not used this feature for some time so this may not be true, but to the

In setting you have set a search criteria around you for searching so it is not 
the same as you would use in the simulation mode.
I hope this works.

Subject: blind square help please. How do I enter a distant location into my 
places so that I can simulate a route?

hi,
I am trying to enter a distant location into the my places portion of blind 
square so I can do a simulation of a route.
I have read and reread the help section several times, and I just cannot figure 
it out.
can someone please explain to me, from the opening screen of BlindSquare, 
exactly what I must do in a step-by-step fashion in order to enter a distant 
location and then simulate the route?
my understanding is that I need to add a location into my places. From my 
places, I am pretty sure I can go to the actions button and then click on 
simulator route
The problem is, when I enter the distant location address in the opening screen 
top left search field, I get a message that the search location is not within 
the defined 1 mile radius of my places section. I cannot seem to figure out a 
way around this.

Any help will be most appreciated. Best, Keith

Re: blind square help please. How do I enter a distant location into my places so that I can simulate a route?

2020-02-03 Thread Richard Turner
On the first screen of Blind Square, find the search button in the top left, 
not the my places search, but the plain search button.
Enter the address, for example, I'm in Oregon, I put in a made up address, 500 
Broadway, New York City, NY
And found one place over 2 thousand miles away, I flicked right to that search 
result and double tapped.
Then, flick right until you get to Simulate this location and double tap.
You do not have to add it to My Places first.
HTH,

Re: blind square help please. How do I enter a distant location into my places so that I can simulate a route?

2020-02-03 Thread Marie
I have not used this feature for some time so this may not be true, but to 
the best of my memory, you need to go into the simulation first and then 
enter the area you wish to simulate.
In setting you have set a search criteria around you for searching so it is 
not the same as you would use in the simulation mode.

I hope this works.

Re: Blind square

2019-09-17 Thread Marie
It is important to remember that when Blind Square gives you the distance to 
the next cross street, it is giving the distance from the middle of the street, 
not the curb. This is, I believe due to the fact of the GPS systems being 
intended for automobiles and not pedestrians.

James, GPS accuracy varies widely; so you could be 30 feet from a cross street 
or 100.
If the streets are on the map, it should announce them, but some smaller 
streets, paths, are not on maps, so without actually walking the route, no one 
can say if everything will be announced.But, the following information from the 
Blind Square help may give you some idea of what to try.
When BlindSquare announces your distance to an intersection, it uses the center 
of the intersection as a reference point. This means that the width of the 
street also determines how soon you hear the BlindSquare intersection 
announcement before you reach the curb. If you live in an area where the 
streets are narrow, you may find that BlindSquare announces intersections too 
early, whereas in an area where streets are particularly wide, intersections 
may be announced too late. If the default medium setting of this option does 
not work to your satisfaction, try using the Long setting if streets in your 
area are wide or Short if streets are very narrow.

Re: Blind square

2019-09-16 Thread James English
Hi,

What I guess I mean is how accurate is it? When blind square says
street is right in front of me, am I right at the curb, or will their
be slight turns and tiny side streets that aren't spoken?

Re: Blind square

2019-09-16 Thread Richard Turner
Well, nobody should say whether the apps can get you home safely since we do 
not know your cane skills.
Can they assist you in getting there; absolutely.
Blind Square can speak the street names that you are coming to/crossing; while 
Apple Maps tells you when to turn.
I set blind square to streets only so I'm not hearing a bunch of business names 
etc when I really just want to know the streets.
Apple Maps or Google maps can be launched from Blind square to do the 
turn-by-turn portion of the directions.
HTH,


Richard

Always look out for #1, and be careful not to step in #2.

I'm not sure how it works with BlindSquare, but with Swarm, just like 
any social media service, you can determine who sees where you check in.

Re: Blind square

2019-09-15 Thread Richard Turner
I was curious too, so I checked the app store.
Swarm is a Four Square checkin app to track the places you visit.
Because it is Four Square, I suspect that means everyone on Swarm can see where 
you are, which doesn't interest me at all.

Re: Blind square

2019-09-15 Thread Richard Turner
i found it by searching for blindsquare written as one word.
Did you search with two words?
Not sure why it doesn't show if written as two words.

RE: Blind Square price?

2017-03-17 Thread R Van Lant
Wayne,
Thanks for mentioning the menus.  I did not know that was a function in Blind 
Square.  

After getting disoriented on a walk with my new guide dog yesterday, I'm even 
more eager to have Blind Square announcing intersections.  Apple maps got me 
home, but I still have no idea where I went astray yesterday and made a wrong 
turn.

grateful that I did, since now I can get the intersection information

Re: which one would you choose, Blind square or nearby explorer and why?

   Hi, I have both blind square and nearby.  For some reason due to my

have many things checked but, when I leave the house, things go silent.  Can 
someone maybe explain why this is?  Thanks so much, Andy

First, let me say that both applications are very good, but if I could
only have one, it would be nearby explorer, no question. There are a
few reasons, first, it offers turn by turn guidance, second, it's much
more responsive in speaking updates, for example, when you change
direction, unless you disable it, your new direction of travel and
upcoming street are automatically spoken within a few seconds.

Navigan, and google maps are very accessible. But if you want to get only 
one app designed with the blind users in mind, which one would you choose? 
If you have to choose between blind square and nearby explorer, for 
example, which of the two would you choose and why?

Cheers,
Cris

First, let me say that both applications are very good, but if I could only 
have one, it would be nearby explorer, no question. There are a few reasons, 
first, it offers turn by turn guidance, second, it's much more responsive in 
speaking updates, for example, when you change direction, unless you disable 
it, your new direction of travel and upcoming street are automatically spoken 
within a few seconds.

RE: which one would you choose, Blind square or nearby explorer and why?

2017-01-01 Thread Chip Orange
No doubt I would choose anything over  Blind Square.  It uses map data for 
near-by intersections and road names from a free map service named Open Street 
Maps, and it’s quite inaccurate for my area, and for areas which are currently 
undergoing various updates or construction.  BS only gets an update of these 
free maps once a year, and free gets you what you pay for of course.

 

Also, BS requires you have a cell data signal for it to work, and if you don’t, 
then it doesn’t; while NE has downloadable maps.

Re: which one would you choose, Blind square or nearby explorer and why?

2016-12-31 Thread Feliciano Godoy
BlindSquare simultaneously used with Google maps hands-down. I do not like 
nearby explore, although I have set it to use foursquare maps, it does not 
provide me with the points of interest that BlindSquare provides me with. I 
also feel thatBlindSquare it's more intuitive.

They're not the same. If you want an all in one app for the blind, go with 
Nearby Explorer. Blind Square does not do turn by turn though arguably its 
point of interest database is larger. It might make more sense to compare with 
something like Seeing Eye.

That depends on what you want from the app.
Blind Square is great for orientation. It will tell you street names as you get 
to them. You can set it to track a location so as you get closer, it tells you 
the compass direction and distance. It does not give you turn-by-turn 
directions at this time.
However, if you search for a location in Blind Square, you can have it then 
launch a turn-by-turn gps app to get your directions to that location while it 
still speaks the streets as you come to them in the background. I often use 
Blind Square and Google maps that way. It will also launch Navigon, Apple maps, 
and now Seeing Eye GPS.
Nearby explorer is a turn-by-turn app that also speaks the cross streets and 
gives a lot more information that can be customized. I believe its default 
settings are way too talkative and distracting.
Someone else may give a very different answer, but I think if you are happy 
with the GPS apps you have now, adding Blind Square would be the better choice 
right now.

Blindsquare sqce it provides data independently of where in the world you're 
located; I heard that Nearby Explorer only works in the US?

Re: which one would you choose, Blind square or nearby explorer and why?

2016-12-31 Thread Richard Turner

Nearby is impressive and will get better. But, Blind Square does have some 
transit information.
They book in with transit apps. I do not think they have the transit info 
built-in, but I'm not sure.
For an all in one gps app, Nearby is quite good if you have the 4 GB of space.

They're not the same. If you want an all in one app for the blind, go with

RE: which one would you choose, Blind square or nearby explorer and why?

2016-12-31 Thread Cris Ali
Thanks David and Richard,
I am under the impression that one need to constantly buy credit to use Blind 
Square. Of course my impression could be wrong. But if it is correct, I am not 
in favor of subscription based or credit based apps.  But as Richard said, the 
turn by turn problem can be solved by launching another GPS app.
I like to hear more opinions before I decide which one I would choose.
Cheers,

Cris

They're not the same. If you want an all in one app for the blind, go with 
Nearby Explorer. Blind Square does not do turn by turn though arguably its 
point of interest database is larger. It might make more sense to compare with 
something like Seeing Eye.

Blind Square is great for orientation. It will tell you street names as you get 
to them. You can set it to track a location so as you get closer, it tells you 
the compass direction and distance. It does not give you turn-by-turn 
directions at this time.
However, if you search for a location in Blind Square, you can have it then 
launch a turn-by-turn gps app to get your directions to that location while it 
still speaks the streets as you come to them in the background. I often use 
Blind Square and Google maps that way. It will also launch Navigon, Apple maps, 
and now Seeing Eye GPS.
Nearby explorer is a turn-by-turn app that also speaks the cross streets and 
gives a lot more information that can be customized. I believe its default 
settings are way too talkative and distracting.
Someone else may give a very different answer, but I think if you are happy 
with the GPS apps you have now, adding Blind Square would be the better choice 
right now.

RE: Bluetooth compatible Bone Conduction headphones for Blind Square

2016-10-24 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Michael,

There is more to bluetooth lag than the version of bluetooth. First of all, you 
may not percieve any lag with some of your devices the way you use it, but the 
lag is there in all bluetooth devices. Secondly, I can say from my own 
experience that I have had a Plantronics relatively high-end stereo headset 
which used Bluetooth 4.1 and it had absolutely horrible lag whereas I have a 
bluetooth speakerphone (I think it's a Philipps or Logitech) and it is 
Bluetooth 2.1 and there is almost no lag. Bluetooth is up to 4.2 and Bluetooth 
5.0 is rolling out, maybe some day they'll figure it out, but for now there 
always is some lag and from some of the early reviews of the Apple Airpods or 
some of the new Beats headsets which probably are the most advanced bluetooth 
earbuds/headsets out there the lag still exists a little bit as well.

Sieghard

I agree the later the bluetooth spec the better, but I'm not sure the 
lag issue is just due to the version of bluetooth supported on your 
headphones. I have no lag on my Bluez from Aftershox, and they're using 
bluetooth technology from a few years ago.

Re: Bluetooth compatible Bone Conduction headphones for Blind Square

2016-10-24 Thread Shaf Patel
Problem with the AirPods is they cover your ears, which isn't so good
for us blind folks if we're traveling etc. I have the same headset as
you, and I get around a quarter second lag. What I dislike about
Bluetooth headsets is that you can only have one device playing through
the headset at once. I hope they improve that in new Bluetooth technologies.

Re: Bluetooth compatible Bone Conduction headphones for Blind Square

2016-10-24 Thread Michael Feir
I very much enjoy my Trekz Titaniums for travel situations. One thing to really 
be careful of when choosing headsets is to make certain they use the latest 
possible Bluetooth version. The Titaniums use 4.1 and I don't experience any 
lag whatsoever with Voiceover use. Same with my new Aukey speaker. I made 
damned certain it used 4.1 and there's no lag. My Logitech UE Boomb sits unused 
despite being durrable, having a great super battery and sounding great due to 
the annoying lag. It uses version 4 of Bluetooth. I didn't think to check 
before purchase.

RE: Blind Square and Four Square

2016-07-20 Thread Ron
Hi Chip,

 

Something that probably wouldn’t help you right now but, the software 
engineering students at McGill university in Montreal have put together an app 
using Google maps.  Right now it is still only for the Montreal area as a test 
but is going across Canada in the next month or so.  It is called “Autour” 
which is the French word for “Around”, but the app is in English.  I very much 
like its radar mode witch, with off ear headphone such as the Treks give a 
constant beep or click going around 360º with the user at the center point.  
This is on request.  Also, if the phone is lifted horizontally, it 
automatically goes into beam mode which will announce what’s around and where 
as the user turns the phone around.

 

The ideal way to wear it is in a pouch around the neck with the phone pointing 
down and the screen away from the chest.  When the phone is lifted, the top of 
the phone becomes the direction of the points of interest.  If the user doesn’t 
like the click or beep of the radar mode, it can be turned down so low you 
can’t hear it but the voice announcing the point of interest comes from its 
direction.  So, if it announces a bus stop that is on your left, the voice 
announcing it comes from the left and so on.

 

I think it is an app that has a lot of potential.  I have been testing this app 
for the professor working with the students.  I will ask him if he plans to 
open it to all of North America anytime soon and if there are any plans of 
going worldwide.

 

Don’t know if it is easier to find now but it was a bit of a problem finding it 
in the app store.  In case you would like to look at it, try Autour in the 
search field and, if you don’t find it, you will by entering McGill in the 
field and going through all the apps until you find it.

I really wish we had a blind-friendly navigational GPS app which used Google 
map data; I don’t know why we don’t, the Google data is freely available (I 
wrote such an app for laptops running Window-Eyes, which had a GPS receiver).  
Yes, there could be a charge from Google to the app developer if you have a 
high enough volume of data queries, but it was very small, so charging a little 
something for the app should easily cover it.  I never had to pay anything.

 

Google would also give you all the POIs as well as the mapping data (I did in 
my app), so you would not have to use four square.  I think it would be a big 
improvement.

The one big advantage with Blind Square and FourSquare is that you can
access menus from various restaurants and fast food places through
BlindSquare. That menu data is pulled directly from FourSquare from
what I understand. It can vary in quality, where with the Subway menu
I get a listing of all of their sandwiches, but with other
restaurants, the menus are very comprehensive. And some menus I've
pulled up in BlindSquare just list a few things. However, when I go to
other locations of the same restaurant I can get more of an actual
menu. Though you can "check in" to places with BlindSquare, that
functionality has been split off from the FourSquare app. FourSquare
is more about keeping up with where your friends/follwers are, whereas
Swarm is for checking in, in case anyone cares. Anyway, I've had
BlindSquare since January and haven't regretted the $30 cost.

Anytime. Also, the Tips button can often have good information too.
This pulls tips from FourSquare and can vary depending on what people
include; anything from, "This place sucks and has horrible service,"
to, "I loved the tacos!" If you want to get an idea of what's good or
find some hidden goodness in the menu or restaurant atmosphere, then
the tips can be very helpful.

Have fun,

Re: Blind Square and Four Square

2016-07-19 Thread Daniel L. Gervais
Awesome, thanks Wayne.  It is starting to make a little more sense then.
 when navigating various places, I kept hearing VoiceOver say "Tip" and
wondered what the hell it was referring to.  While exploring one of the
restaurant's summary page, while looking for the infamous "Menu" button,
I came across the "Tip" button, and made the connection.  So if I
navigate restaurants and VoiceOver says "Menu", then I'll know that this
restaurant has a menu.

Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

Greetings. You got it. Once you bring up the place summary screen,
which has information such as the address, phone number, and buttons
for various things like the website, tips from FourSquare, and so
forth; keep swiping through and there will be a Menu button. Once you
activate this after a short delay the menu will come up. To get back
to the place summary screen hit the back button in the upper left
corner. If you like the restaurant, you can toggle the Favorite button
on in the place summary screen. There's a lot of information on the
place summary screen so it pays to go through and explore. Also, if
you do a search for restaurants, when going through the search
results, BlindSquare will announce if there is a menu for a
restaurant. If there's not a menu then it will not be announced.

Good luck,
Wayne

Hi Wayne,

Quick question, how do you find the menus through BlindSquare?  I am
assuming that you would double tap on the place within BlindSquare and
that there would be a button within the restaurant summary page that
would say "Menu" or something?

The one big advantage with Blind Square and FourSquare is that you can
access menus from various restaurants and fast food places through
BlindSquare. That menu data is pulled directly from FourSquare from
what I understand. It can vary in quality, where with the Subway menu
I get a listing of all of their sandwiches, but with other
restaurants, the menus are very comprehensive. And some menus I've
pulled up in BlindSquare just list a few things. However, when I go to
other locations of the same restaurant I can get more of an actual
menu. Though you can "check in" to places with BlindSquare, that
functionality has been split off from the FourSquare app. FourSquare
is more about keeping up with where your friends/follwers are, whereas
Swarm is for checking in, in case anyone cares. Anyway, I've had
BlindSquare since January and haven't regretted the $30 cost.

The one big advantage with Blind Square and FourSquare is that you can
access menus from various restaurants and fast food places through
BlindSquare. That menu data is pulled directly from FourSquare from
what I understand. It can vary in quality, where with the Subway menu
I get a listing of all of their sandwiches, but with other
restaurants, the menus are very comprehensive. And some menus I've
pulled up in BlindSquare just list a few things. However, when I go to
other locations of the same restaurant I can get more of an actual
menu. Though you can "check in" to places with BlindSquare, that
functionality has been split off from the FourSquare app. FourSquare
is more about keeping up with where your friends/follwers are, whereas

It might … but I thought they bought map data from NavTech or some company like 
that (at least they did for their other braille note products).

 

I don’t know enough about them, but I thought they charged a yearly fee, and I 
didn’t want to own them like that if that was the case.

However, I am really disappointed in Blind Square so far.

Yes, there could be a charge from Google to the app developer if you have a 
high enough volume of data queries, but it was very small, so charging a little 
something for the app should easily cover it.  I never had to pay anything.

 

Google would also give you all the POIs as well as the mapping data (I did in

RE: Blind Square and Four Square

2016-07-17 Thread Chip Orange
I really wish we had a blind-friendly navigational GPS app which used Google 
map data; I don’t know why we don’t, the Google data is freely available (I 
wrote such an app for laptops running Window-Eyes, which had a GPS receiver).  
Yes, there could be a charge from Google to the app developer if you have a 
high enough volume of data queries, but it was very small, so charging a little 
something for the app should easily cover it.  I never had to pay anything.

 

Google would also give you all the POIs as well as the mapping data (I did in 
my app), so you would not have to use four square.  I think it would be a big 
improvement.

Have you tried wearing earbuds, where one side is open to traffic and

Re: Blind Square V. Sendero Seeing Eye.

2016-04-08 Thread Wayne Merritt
I like having BlindSquare in one earbud since part of my daily trip
home has me riding on the bus and I don't want to disturb other
passengers. Plus, I can listen to tunes while I'm getting information
from BlindSquare. The problem I have with bone conduction headphones
is most of the ones I have looked at, don't fit my large head. And
they are not adjustable like headphones. I do also take the earbud out
before crossing streets.

As stated earlier though, different strokes for different folks.

Hi,

Why not use Blind Square with a bone conduction headset? Your ears are totally 
free to hear your traffic while still hearing Blind Square on both sides. Your 
phone can then be held in any carrier.

Have you tried wearing earbuds, where one side is open to traffic and 
environmental sounds, and the other you have an earbud in and are getting 
information from BlindSquare? I wear hearing aids as well and this setup has 
worked great for me.

2016-04-07 Thread Dianne B. Phelps
Wayne,

 

Thank you for your wonderful suggestion. Unfortunately, my left ear is so
much weaker than my right that splitting the work between two won't work
well for me. I am almost tempted to obtain Those new JAW BONES type
earphones which works on the bone conduction of the sound. I wish I had a
store nearby where I could see those to see if splitting things that way
might work.

 

My left ear took a concussive blow in my accident and I have very little in
my high frequencies, making speech going into that left ear a kind of
garble.

 

Again, I do appreciate the suggestion very much.

 

Dianne B. Phelps
