Re: From Mark to the List, Just a General Apple Accessibility Gravity Check-in
Hi Richard, I looked up the app, and it's just says intercom for Sonos. However whenever I clicked on it to share it with you, it did not let me connect to the App Store. So I am assuming that the app is no longer available on the App Store. > On Aug 10, 2022, at 11:51 AM, Richard Turner > wrote: > > Joseph, > Lots of things come up when searching for intercom on the iOS app store. > > Could you either give the link or the developer name? > > > > Richard > “People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought > which they seldom use.” - Søren Kierkegaard > > My web site: https://www.turner42.com > 礪 > > -Original Message- > From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of joseph > hudson > Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2022 9:15 AM > To: viphone@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: From Mark to the List, Just a General Apple Accessibility > Gravity Check-in > > Wait a minute, before you go advertising that you can't use the intercom > feature via a Sonos speaker, actually you can.

Re: From Mark to the List, Just a General Apple Accessibility Gravity Check-in
Wait a minute, before you go advertising that you can't use the intercom feature via a Sonos speaker, actually you can. There's an app called intercom, that works for the Sonos speakers. So if you have an iPhone or an android, all you have to do is open up that app, and you can make announcements all through your house on your Sonos system. > On Aug 10, 2022, at 11:12 AM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: > > If you want to use Alexa frequently I suggest you go ahead and buy an Echo > smart speaker.

If you want to use Alexa frequently I suggest you go ahead and buy an Echo smart speaker. They are very inexpensive and will always be available when you say "Alexa" where is if you use Alexa on an iPhone you do still have to first open the Amazon Echo app. You can probably find plenty of 2nd or 3rd generation Echo Dot speaker for $10 or $20, I have a few of them and even the older larger ones which I really have to advertise and get rid of because we have Sonos throughout the house and while you still can't use the Intercom feature via a Sonos speaker, you can do anything else.

Re: From Mark to the List, Just a General Apple Accessibility Gravity Check-in
Lisa, This is not true. The Amazon Alexa app can do Everything that an Alexa device can do. I have an old iPhone, which has no cellular service. The phone is connected to wifi only. I/we use the app ONLY to control smart lights & our Ring security camera. The Only thing that I do Not use the app for is adding items into my shopping cart & placing orders. I even make wifi calls using the app. A stand alone Amazon Alexa device is not necessary. Donna > > Hi, Carolyn. > > > If you just want to order and browse Amazon the app is fine.

RE: From Mark to the List, Just a General Apple Accessibility Gravity Check-in
There will be no Touch Id on this year's iPhones or let's just say I'd be extremely surprised if there were since at this point the rumours are typically quite accurate. Just FYI, you can probably find a third-party repair place which could replace that Lightning port on your 8 Plus for a fairly reasonable amount if you so desired. I guess it all depens on what your plans are for your 8 Plus, if you want to sell it finding out if this could be done for say $50 might be worth it, but I certainly wouldn't spend more than that. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of M.

I am going to try to make it last until the next iPhone release which, hopefully, will offer some form of touch ID.

However the Amazon apps continue to be at the top of my must have list. I noticed some kind of a glitch between VoiceOver and Alexa on an iPhone 11, the other day.

Of course, I am omitting all of the native Apple apps as their significance to my accessible life is unparalleled While I continue to be a big fan of Twitter, for some reason, the app, and the service itself, for that matter, feel less streamline and unencumbered, these days. Just my opinion, of course. Uber, Lift, and Insta Cart are amazing, as always. And of course, all of the book reading apps remain dear to my heart. While I would love to list some games that I enjoy on either iOS or iPad OS, alas, I cannot. I do not know of any onboard (not requiring an internet connection) VoiceOver accessible card games and / or board games; a sad reality, to be sure.

I cannot believe that August 2022 is already underway. You know, it's kind of funny, I use my Apple devices more and more and yet I have less and less to say about them as they continue to get better and better. (smile) A few things that I have been intending to post but have not: 1. In addition to my wired EarPods, I now use both AirPods, third gen, and Airpods Pro, on a regular basis. While I would have to say that my Airpods Pro offer better sound quality, I like the Airpods third gen, because they offer an easier / lighter listening experience. I know that sounds crazy but, for me, it is true. 2. My poor old 8 Plus is truly on its last legs. The lightening port can no longer hold a cable, unassisted. This is to say, in order for me to keep a cable inserted, the phone must be on a horizontal plain or the cable will fall out. I do use a wireless charger with it but . I am going to try to make it last until the next iPhone release which, hopefully, will offer some form of touch ID. However, If touch ID is not included in the next release I will either purchase the biggest best new phone or I will get an S E. One way or another, my beloved 8 Plus is on its way out (smile.) 3. My iPad 10.5 2017 is going strong; it runs like a champ. However, I am definitely going to get a new MacBook Pro after I purchase my next iPhone. I have a MacBook Air, M1, in the house but I really don't like the fact that it automatically powers on at the touch of any key. This is quite annoying. 4. As for software? I find that I am using fewer and fewer apps. I am not sure why. All of the apps that allow me to easily manage my finances continue to be my favorite apps, of course. However the Amazon apps continue to be at the top of my must have list. I noticed some kind of a glitch between VoiceOver and Alexa on an iPhone 11, the other day.

Re: From Mark to the List, Just a General Apple Accessibility Gravity Check-in
Hello,I have an early 2015 MacBookPro, which sadly, isn’t supported by Ventura. I was looking forward to beta testing that, as some areas have changed, according to what I read on the subject. I also have an iPhone SE, second generation and it’s going strong. I beta test iOS 16. I have an account for the Apple Developer Program, just for testing the most buggy beta releases. There are things I love about iOS 16, but I cannot say most of what I like about it, do to the non-disclosure agreement I read and signed. But, as made public by AppleVis, I love Eloquence! It’s an awesome beta, and I cannot wait ‘till it is public, as then, everything can be shared.
