Re: tvOs 9.2 for the Apple TV 4 is out, and blue tooth keyboard support works.

2016-03-22 Thread Jonathan Mosen 
There is. This is covered in the latest edition of my Apple TV book available 
from http://Mosen.org/atv4.
I also demonstrate it in a podcast for AppleVis. But essentially, Apple TV 
behaves differently in username and password fields, and you can dictate 
character by character.

Hi Keith,

 

I am just repeating what Tim Cook said so maybe there is some special behavior 
if SIRI is in a password field on the Apple TV.

How does one dictate a username, for example. When I’ve tried to do this on my 
iPhone in Messages, I get gobbledeeGook, either with straight spelling or by 
stating lower case g, lower case, e, etc.

Yes, and during the keynote Tim Cook also said that SIRI/dictation on the new 
Apple TV now is also available in any edit field including user names and 
passwords. I guess they assume that since you will always be at home when you 
use your Apple TV it is OK to allow dictation for passwords and if others are 
around you just don’t use it, but if you are by yourself then it’s potentially 
a neat feature.

Hi.

 

Subject says it all.  I saw that the iPhone had an update, as well as iTunes, 
so I decided to check if the Apple TV 4 had an update.  It did.  I then checked 
in Settings, remotes and devices.  In there is an option for Blue Tooth.  I 
selected that option, and, what do you know?  Keyboard is an option.  I then 
selected that option, and started my blue tooth keyboard in pairing mode.  The 
Apple TV reads the number a bit weird, but I figured it out, and I got the 
keyboard paired with my Apple TV the first time!  I haven’t done much with it 
yet, but from what I can tell it works similar to the 3 gen Apple TV.

 

Just letting folks know.

 

Have a blessed day, and don’t work too hard.
