Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
I think the only thing that makes it different is that this feature hasn't been implemented yet in the NLS BARD Mobile app. That's just my opinion based on the interviews and podcasts I've listened to. I'm sure we'll know more when the app shows up in the App Store, and we start hearing more, including announcements, from NLS. Note that I think the NLS and the developers of their BARD Mobile app know how important this feature is to their users. I think they'll work out any procedural issues with Apple and implement this feature as soon as they can get the resources allocated and scheduled. I also think we'll hear more from NLS if there are any issues with Apple in implementing this feature. Remember that the NLS is not a company trying to make a profit with this app, and iPhone users are not their only customers.

Since this is an Apple feature for "music" apps I would be shocked if it did not work with the BARD app. So you should be able to use a physical button to stop and start. I play books most of the time and have no battery problems from it. Only battery problems are from GPS type apps. I would explain how to put books on the phone with iTunes but it won't be necessary after the BARD app is here. At night I do use my BARD player or my Victor since it is much easier and has the sleep feature. But I have traveled with only the iPhone and used it at night as well. The BARD app is the reason I got my iPhone in the first place and I got a 64 G to be ready. I am sooo ready!!!

Hello, I do have a followup question on this topic. One can download books directly from the Read2Go app and I think rfb&d. What makes the NLS app different?

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
My understanding, which was probably just gleaned from following this list, is that the reason companies like Amazon don't let you purchase books through in app purchases is because then they'd have to give Apple their cut. Since the BARD books are free, I wouldn't think this would apply to BARD books. I seem to recall this was discussed in Judith Dixon's interview last spring, and it was a feature NLS knew patrons wanted, but it would have to be implemented later or the original release of the app would have to have been delayed.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
I think some of that could be Apple rules and restrictions.

This link is just like logging onto the web site itself, except you don't have to log on, provided that your app is set up with your account. In there, you can do everything you can do on the web site, including searching for books. You can't download them from this screen, you have to add them to the wish list, then back out of the browse bard screen, and wish list is at the top of the previous screen. From the screen that lists the recently added books, the link directly below wish list, you can download them without having to add them to your wish list.

It was explained in the original podcast that this feature would be difficult to incorporate in the app and would delay the apps release. I have put a link to the bard website on my iPhone's home screen and find it extremely easy to add books to my wish list. It is only one small extra step, which will result in the best reading experience possible... And all for free. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

I think many of you are jumping the gun on what the app has and doesn't have.

Under the get books tab at the bottom of the screen, there is wish list, a link to go through the recently added books, then one that says brows bard. This link is just like logging onto the web site itself, except you don't have to log on, provided that your app is set up with your account. In there, you can do everything you can do on the web site, including searching for books. You can't download them from this screen, you have to add them to the wish list, then back out of the browse bard screen, and wish list is at the top of the previous screen. From the screen that lists the recently added books, the link directly below wish list, you can download them without having to add them to your wish list. But I have come to prefer using the browse bard link, rather than this screen. It will be a matter of personal preference.

Hello all, Daniel is correct. I've read around 8 messages which have zero to do with the BARD app. I don't yet know how many more there are, but please folks, if you will be talking about something totally different, change the subject line. if it's something which has morphed from BARD to battery drainage, then change the subject even if you keep the same thread. However if you will be talking about something totally different regardless of BARD, then just start a new message with your thoughts. Thanks all. -- Raul A.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
The fact that the bard app won't read brf files, with VoiceOver, , as can some of the commercial players, is one of the very few disappointments to me about this app. It seems that it would be so easy to include a braille translation table in it, and let VoiceOver read them. But they just don't seem to be interested, at least for now. One can use a braille display with it, and apparently it works very well. They said that, at this time, they were only trying to emulate their advanced player with the audio portion. I very easily can do everything with it that I can do with my advanced player. I love this app, despite the fact that I still have to use my stream to read brf files.

RE: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
I second the Juice Pack. I got a great deal on a refurbished one a few months ago for $15.00 and it's worked quite fine. I hafen't had to worry about being out and about and getting stuck with a dead or close to dead phone any more. That and dropping and scratching the phone is less of a concern. I recently had to swap out myoriginal 4S with Sprint for a reconditioned one since the volume button on it was broken. The replacement phone I got went straight into the Juice Pack. So when and if I decide to unload this phone I can get a bit more for it as it's got no scratches or dings and will come with the battery case. I plan on making heavy use of the Bard app when it finally comes out. Having the extra juice throughout the day will come in quite handy. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Arrigo Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 8:12 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval Yes.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
Hi. A few comments, all in one message so as not to clutter inboxes mmore than necissary. regarding battery life, it uses about the same amount as the music app uses from what I can tell. I'm not sure how that would compare to iBooks or Nook though, but my guess is that it would use less. You can lock your screen and keep playing the audio on the BARD app. Not sure about comparing it to Voice Dream either, since I do not have this app. As for Android accessibility, I'd posit that it does indeed have quite a ways to go. Both in terms of access with speech, but much more so for braile users. Also, and it could simply be because I'm more aware of iOS apps, but it seems like iOS has a lot more development in terms of apps that we can use than Android. That's not tto say some people aren't happy with their Android devices, I know they are, I can only speak for myself in using a Nexus 7 for awhile with 4.3 that I didn't find it a pleasant experience when using braille. Explore by Touch also still seems a bit quirky.

Yes. I have one of these, the mophie juice pack case is awesome, as far as I'm concerned it's the best iphone case you can get.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
I am wondering if the Bard app will use less battery then iBooks, Nook or the Kindle apps while reading them with voice over. Sometimes when I am listening to Pandora, I triple click the home button to turn voiceover off to save battery. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
Eventually? I think more like they have already done so. . That Freedom Scientific pac mate, it is 10 years out of date and hasn't been developed in years. In fact, judging from the huge 40% plus discounts, they can't get rid of it. I just read a blurb on a podcast website where the manufacturer of one of those blindness Note takers is touting their support for the RTF file format in their most current firmware. RTF?--What year is it again? On your point regarding counterfeit money, well, I've never had a problem with this, so I'm assuming that even though the chances exist, its not an issue I will have to tackle on a day to day basis, nor even rarely.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
I know they cost real money right now. THe one thing I see happening is that the apps will eventually force the hardware manufacturers to realize that they need to lower the price or go out of business. A case for this is the dedicated currency readers. Those used to cost more than $400 and now you can get one for less than $100 (the iBill). THis was a direct result of the look-tell money reader app. I have both and I use both, though the app is easier to use in a busy environment (such as shopping). The iBill does have one feature that I think they are still having a problem with on the look-tell app: it can easily tell the difference between counterfeit and real currency. oh yeah, I use my braille sense as a GPS navigation tool as the Sendaro software includes network updated maps. Its not just my note taker and braille reader. Now if I can just find some ham radio apps that would work in windows CE, then I would have a nice Ham radio shack and not have to use a desktop computer. :) -eric On Sep 13, 2013, at 5:14 PM, Joseph FreeTech wrote: > Regarding limited incomes...

RE: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
And the audio drain is even less if you use wired earphones instead of Bluetooth. I'm inclined to use IPhone audio books when out and waiting because it means carrying fewer devices. Around the house though the Stream is better and cheaper to replace if there is a major mishap. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ricardo Walker Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 6:01 PM To: viphone Subject: Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval Hi, I partly disagree here. It depends on the media being played, and how the content is being delivered really. for the sake of this topic will just keep it to audio. I've listened to hours of audiobooks via the audible app and only lose a few percentage points on my battery life. The same goes for listening to music stored on the device. Of course, streaming audio causes the battery to drain faster. I mean, I agree that listening to audio will drain your battery but, compared with all the other things we do with our phones, this doesn't really impact battery life as much. As the saying goes though, to each their own. I much rather have 1 less device to carry although it means getting an hour a day less out of my phone before charging. JMO.

I wouldn't say no longer an issue. In addition to my extended battery case, I've got an ext4ernal battery.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
Regarding limited incomes... Add up the amount of money spent on your blindness related hardware and compare that to the cost of comparable IOS apps. I'm sure you will find that the hardware devices for the blind will costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars where the apps are a few dollars here and there. Joseph - Original Message - From: "eric oyen" To: Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 2:40 PM Subject: Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval yes, assuming one can afford such a device on a limited income. The other devices I have courtesy of the CCB (as a contract for the state of arizona vocational rehabilitation services). I happen to be an iPhone user/owner myself and like that it does have all these apps available. However, some of them just don't work as well as discrete devices do. For instance, navigon has an interface that is more complicated than it needs to be, and the look-tell money reader requires a background source of light to be useful. The color detector app also needs ambient light to function whereas the stand alone light detector device uses a low power laser. Each device and app have their pros and cons. Me, personally, I would rather have the backup device in case the iPhone gets broken or stolen (which happens more than anyone realizes). Also, the available bar code scanner app for the iPhone (red laser) isn't accessible (it requires someone to see the view finder display to make sure the barcode is centered). So, having the bar code reader (ID Mate) is far more useful. -eric On Sep 13, 2013, at 1:17 PM, Joseph FreeTech wrote: > Unless one uses an extended battery and this issue of battery life is no > longer an issue. > > Joseph > > - Original Message - > From: "eric oyen" > To: > Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 12:57 PM > Subject: Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval > > > there are advantages to using a separate device. > Chief among these is battery life on the iPhone.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
You can always convert those brf files to text and read them on your IOS device. Depending on what you are reading, if you are sleepy, you're not going to recall what you just read, so whether having to press a physical button or tap/swipe, you are not using time and your cognitive attention efficiently. Joseph - Original Message - From: "Arianna" To: Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 2:44 PM Subject: Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval Not to mention that, as far as I know, no app on the iPhone can make any sense of brf files. I have a lot of those in my collection, and the BookSense is the only thing that I know can play them. Well, the only thing that I have, at any rate. Plus, having physical buttons is rather nice. When I want to go back five seconds in a book, and I'm kind of sleepy, the last thing I want to do is fiddle around with a touchscreen. That being said, I will still get the app; but I'll keep my BookSense around, too.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
I have some of these discrete items you mentioned, and they are gathering dust somewhere in my room and office. My color identifier is not as accurate as I would like even though it has its own light source. My money counter also has a light source of its own, and I find it a chore to have to dig out and slide my money in to read. In short, though I have these items, my iPod's comparable apps are always my go to resource as they are faster and easier to use (with exception of color identifier as itthey all seem to be very inaccurate unless you can see). As is, I really dislike taking my cell and iPod wherever I go, but because I don't want another contract, I have to stick with what I've got until my new contract comes along, but my point is "why carry more than you need." With keys, wallet, phone, coins, etc, I don't need anymore items in my pockets, which is why my VRS now stays home.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
Hi, I partly disagree here. It depends on the media being played, and how the content is being delivered really. for the sake of this topic will just keep it to audio. I’ve listened to hours of audiobooks via the audible app and only lose a few percentage points on my battery life. The same goes for listening to music stored on the device. Of course, streaming audio causes the battery to drain faster. I mean, I agree that listening to audio will drain your battery but, compared with all the other things we do with our phones, this doesn’t really impact battery life as much. As the saying goes though, to each their own. I much rather have 1 less device to carry although it means getting an hour a day less out of my phone before charging. JMO.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
I suspect I'll do the same thing. I have a Victor reader Stream 1 and when it dies I'll see what's available. I do keep a GPS app on my iPhone even though I own 3 GPS systems for the blind. On the other hand, my iPhone is always in my pocket and should I need to find my way back home again at least I'm covered and that's a comforting thought for anybody. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
yes, assuming one can afford such a device on a limited income. The other devices I have courtesy of the CCB (as a contract for the state of arizona vocational rehabilitation services). I happen to be an iPhone user/owner myself and like that it does have all these apps available. However, some of them just don't work as well as discrete devices do. For instance, navigon has an interface that is more complicated than it needs to be, and the look-tell money reader requires a background source of light to be useful. The color detector app also needs ambient light to function whereas the stand alone light detector device uses a low power laser. Each device and app have their pros and cons. Me, personally, I would rather have the backup device in case the iPhone gets broken or stolen (which happens more than anyone realizes). Also, the available bar code scanner app for the iPhone (red laser) isn't accessible (it requires someone to see the view finder display to make sure the barcode is centered). So, having the bar code reader (ID Mate) is far more useful. -eric On Sep 13, 2013, at 1:17 PM, Joseph FreeTech wrote: > Unless one uses an extended battery and this issue of battery life is no > longer an issue. > > Joseph > > - Original Message - > From: "eric oyen" > To: > Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 12:57 PM > Subject: Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval > > > there are advantages to using a separate device. > Chief among these is battery life on the iPhone.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
I had not used the MLS books in quite a while, but when I heard that the Bard app was going to be released I ordered up a machine to familiarize myself with the system. I was amazed at how nice the machine felt. Very solid big buttons etc. etc., it was kind of comforting to have a talking book machine in my hand again.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
I'm really looking forward to the BARD Mobile app, but I also like having a separate device. In addition to what Eric says below about the battery consumption, I also like just being able to pick up my Booksense, and by pressing just one button, start reading a book right where I left off. No need to unlock the device, jump to the app switcher and bring up my BARD Mobile app to start reading again. The fact that it's a physical button, and I can just pause/play my reading by hitting a physical button while the Booksense is in my pocket, is also a plus. I know it's not that hard to get the BARD Mobile app to start reading again, but it is convenient to have a device dedicated to my book reading and being only one button away from reading. I also think the booksense is a bit lighter and easier to carry around. I can operate it's buttons while it's in my pocket. I also have a lanyard, so I can just hang it from my neck. Would I go out and buy a Booksense if I already had an iPhone and the BARD Mobile app? I'm not sure, but I do know that I'll be using both my iPhone and my Booksense to read BARD books once I get my hands on the BARD Mobile app. On 09/13/2013 02:57 PM, eric oyen wrote: there are advantages to using a separate device.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
there are advantages to using a separate device. Chief among these is battery life on the iPhone. Playing media sucks down battery like an old drunk on a bender. Its the same with other apps that have discrete devices (trekker breeze, color detector and barcode reader). all of these devices are specially designed for that one task. Its been my experience that iPhone apps are fine in a pinch, but when you want reliability without sacrificing battery life, its better to have the extra devices on hand. Sure, its convenient to have all your functions and technology in one device, but it that device breaks, you are out a whole lot more than just a phone. Just something to keep in mind. -eric On Sep 13, 2013, at 12:47 PM, Rick Alfaro wrote: > Yes, it's the official app from NLS so we can read books downloaded from > BARD on our iDevices.

The level of accessibility that is provided is now on the same level, another good thing.

RE: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
Yes, it's the official app from NLS so we can read books downloaded from BARD on our iDevices. Between this app, the Kindle app, the Nook app, and Voice Dream Reader or Read2Go for BookShare books, it's hard to imagine why one would need devices like the Stream or BookSense but I'm sure some may still prefer using a separate device. This is my plan so I will be upgrading to the 64gb version of the 5s so I have no issues with space.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
I don't want to put words in Mike's mouth, but I suspect he isn't saying that iPhone users should have been made to wait but rather that NLS would have put the resources and schedules in place so that they'd both be ready at the same time.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
HI. Sorry, but those choosing to run Android must accept the fact of doing so that it sometimes results in apps not being as readily available. I understand the frustration since I'm a braille user and braille is always a lower priority than speech support for apps. Which is why I cannot choose Android at this time because of the lack of said braille support. You may recall that they did a survey asking patrons this question, what would they use the app on? My guess, and this is all it is, would be that the majority of respondents said they would use it on iDevices, so they took that approach. I do agree, why should they wait to release on both platforms at the same time? There are other devs who choose Android first, and that's their right. As to the other questions in this thread, Neil Bernstein estimated it could take up to 2 weeks given the fact that there are so many updates coming out right now with the release of iOS 7 pending. . I know it was at least tested with one iOS 7 device. HTH, Scott On 9/13/13, Chuck Dean wrote: > Please, let's not turn this into a long drawnout discussion And clog > everybody's inboxes.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
Bard is the NLS service allowing registered blind users to download recorded audio books to one's reading device such as Victor Reader. I'm assuming many are excited because this means one will be able to read these books on their IOS device. The books are read by actual people and are not necessarily text files read by synthetic speech. After today's post, this means we should be able to download NLS books by the end of the month.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval
There are also those apps which are only available on Android and come out for Android first. I don't have any examples in mind, other than say Google, but I know they've been discussed on several lists as iPhone users have had to wait for apps that Android users already had access to. I don't know the results of the survey you're referring to, but I suspect you're right. Given how recent the survey was though, I doubt it had any impact on the release schedule for the NLS app. On 09/13/2013 01:12 PM, Scott Davert wrote: HI.
