Re: Looking for a wind speed measuring app
Does the Weather Underground app give you current conditions, usually updated once an hour? On the weather underground website, I put in my zip code, and when the page for my town came up, I bookmarked it and put the bookmark on my home screen. Every time I go in, there is a table with current conditions, including the wind speed and direction. Hope this helps!

Weather Underground question (Was RE: Looking for a wind speed measuring app)
My Weather Underground speaks the temp, then announces the next 3 days (e.g. Sat Sun Mon), then the risk of precipitation. My sighted wife tells me that after the temp, Wind and Humidity are listed but not spoken by VO, and that forecasted temps for Sat Sun Mon are listed before the risk of precipitation. In other words, at least on my app, Wind and Humidity information is not spoken by VO, nor are the predicted Hi / Lo temps for the next 3 days. I've checked in my app settings and can't find anything that sounds like there's anything I can change in my settings. Are you getting VO to announce the things I can't get mine to announce? If so, do you have ideas what I may be able to do to fix this? I'm running app v 2.0. I've been using MenuWeather to get the Wind, Humidity, and other info. Thanks in advance. keith From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Marcy Weinberg Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2012 10:28 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Looking for a wind speed measuring app Does the Weather Underground app give you current conditions, usually updated once an hour?

RE: Weather Underground question (Was RE: Looking for a wind speed measuring app)
Hi Keith and all, When you open the Weather Underground app, touch in the upper left corner. You should find a button that says UI toolbar home city. Start flicking to the right with one finger. You should hear your home city, then UI Toolbar Station, the next number you hear is the current temp, then you will hear feels like and a number, then you will hear Wind and a number. If you do a three finger swipe from right to left like you would do to go from page to page of apps, you will find the next few days information in the same three or four column table. At the bottom of the screen, the second tab is for the hourly forecast. Double tap on that. Then, you will have each hour on a separate line down the screen, for example, for today in Portland Oregon, I hear 9 AM, 53, 8, 80 percent If you search around you can find the column headings for those numbers: Hour, Conditions, Wind, Percip.

RE: Weather Underground question (Was RE: Looking for a wind speed measuring app)
Thanks, Richard. Mine wasn't working that way, as I described in my first email. After you're email, I uninstalled and reinstalled Weather Underground. It's still not working for me as you describe. From the top left it works as you describe for the first few elements. Then, it announces the temp, doesn't announce the Feels Like, Wind, Humidity. It then announces Sat Sun Mon. it doesn't announce Hi / Lo temps for Sat Sun Mon that are n the screen (again, as my sighted wife tells me), but then does announce the next line of % precipitation risk for Sat Sun Mon. Also, a three finger swipe left / right doesn't do anything. The tabs along the bottom are as you describe.

RE: Weather Underground question (Was RE: Looking for a wind speed measuring app)
Richard, I've tried 'em all, i.e. 2 finger upswipe to have VO read each element, manual right swipe, finger drag. Even with my sighted wife telling me where to go, I can't get the Feels Like, Wind, Himidity or Hi / lo temps to announce. E.g there's just a click sound between Sat and % precip when dragging vertically. How do I activate Vertical Navigation? I'll give that a try. Are you a Paid Member? I'm not.

Re: Weather station - RE: Looking for a wind speed measuring app
Sieghard, THanks for sharing this information and I will be very interested in hearing more. I find most the weather data pretty useful, but I think the more stations available, the more data that can be gathered and with weather you can never have enough data. The fact they are responsive is really great. Oh and the price of the hardware is pretty reasonable.

RE: Looking for a wind speed measuring app
Hi, Weather Underground does give the wind speed. When you flick right from the Station button, you will hear the temp, then feels like and the next item is wind speed. The nice thing with Weather Underground is you can usually find a station fairly close to you, so the wind speed should be reasonably accurate. Richard _ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Cristobal Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 7:05 PM Cc: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Looking for a wind speed measuring app Hello list, So I'm in search of an accessible app that can measure wind speed. I live in Southern California and it looks like we're about to get blasted with some Santa Ana winds these next few days. I currently only have the native iPhone app, another app that just measures humitidy and Weather Underground on my phone. I use Weather Underground as my main weather app and all in all, I am quite satisfied with it. The one thing it doesn't have however, or at least I haven't come across it while poking around the app is any sort of wind speed indicator or measurement tool. Can anyone recommend a app that will in fact do this? I'd of course prefer a free option, but I'd even pay one or two bucks for it if need be. I just don't want to go paying for something to find out it pretty much sucks with Voiceover. Thanks, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Hi Cristobal, In order to measure windspeed you do need a sensor that is capable of doing that, e.g. your iPhone can’t measure windspeed accurately without a so-called “anemometer” which is the scientific term for a device/sensor that can measure windspeed.
