Re: Updating iPad 3

[Raul A. Gallegos]

I agree with this. I would even upgrade myself if my iPhone is not jailbroken. 
Right now the tweaks and advantages I would lose from that are more than what I 
would gain from the new iOS six.

Re: els app someday?

[Scott Howell]

Hi Penny,

Well I sure will be happy to send my player back. :) I do not often use NLS 
just because it is simply not convenient as I really like to use my iOS 
devices. In any case what will be really interesting to me is how they work the 
logistics of distribution, (i.e. downloading within the app etc.). I hope they 
do not require patrons to download the files and import via iTunes. I think 
that would add an unnecessary level of complexity and since companies such as 
BookShare have managed to make this work, I suspect NLS has some sense of what 
patrons do want.

Re: What happened to the speaker volume control

[Earle]

I'm not having any voiceover volume issues on my iPhone 5 while in a call. I 
can hear voiceover just fine. The change with buttons are set to off. This is 
just my personal preference. I never had this problem on my 3 GS with iOS 6 
either. In fact, with the 5 I sometimes have to turn voiceover down a little 
while in a call. It seems as though voiceover and sounds in general are louder 
on the 5. I'm trying to find that right combination of voiceover volume and 
sound volume.

Siri volume difference

I most often use headphones when on a call, but I have noticed that Siri is

Hi,

activate Siri, do a 2 finger flick up, and turn up or down the volume to your 
liking.  Siri volume is independent of the system and voiceover volume.

Siri voice

Ricardo, I opened Siri and found no way to increase her volume. It just tells

Re: Netflix access question

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hello all,
I also have the latest Netflicks app, but I can't get any movies to play. I 
tried double tapping. What finally worked for me involved going to the 
search option and typing in the title I wanted then double tapping on that 
title.
On another subject, has iTunes discontinued the option to rent movies? 
Thanks in advance.

RE: Siri voice

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Reggie,

What Ricardo is referring to is to ask SIRI a question and then while SIRI
is talking to adjust the volume with the buttons. Ask something which will
result in a longer answer, e.g. Calculate a 15% tip on a $32.48 restaurant
bill. SIRI should come back and say something like "Input interpretation"
and then give you the result of the tip calculation. Then while she is
reading this out push the volume up button and the SIRI voice will become
louder and it should stay at whatever level you leave it at.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hi,

With seri open, use the volume buttons on your phone to adjust the volume. 
When you get seri's volume adjusted to how you want it, then close Seri.

RE: Audible question.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Allison,

WhisperSync is what Audible calls their background cloud syncing operation,
e.g. if you had 2 Kindles or a Kindle and an iPad with the Kindle app and
were reading an eBook on one device and then switch to the other device, the
book on the second device should open at the place where you left off on the
first device. Basically what iCloud does between iOS devices. Since Amazon
owns Audible, they are now advertising and pushing the idea that people
should buy also the Audible version of a Kindle book they buy and if the
book supports WhisperSync which is now stated on Audible, a person could
read the eBook on a Kindle and then if they were to pick up their iPhone and
start the Audible app with that book in it, the Audio Book would start
playing where they stopped reading the Kindle book. Same of course should
happen between Audio Books on multiple devices.

Sieghard

I know is the type of trial with the musicdock app because when I had my

RE: Problem with list archives in Google Groups

[Don & Cher Bosch]

So after you sign into Gmail, can you put the list address in the address
bar and still be in html when you land in Google Groups?

 

The new GG page has those links that JAWS does not detect as links and even
when I routed JAWS to them and clicked, I could never tell if I made any
lasting changes. Even when I eventually succeeded in bringing up a "revert
to old GG" link, it seemed to be unresponsive to any keystroke combination I
tried. And when the "Settings Button" finally drifted through the fog, it
did not respond like a normal button either. When I finally got the Settings
menu to drop down, I changed that setting but it has reverted to the New GG
again today. When that message is flashing, it seems to take focus away from
anything else. What a royal pain!

Hi,

After signing in, Google offers Basic html to screen reader users.

So, for me, I go in to gmail and sign in, if it doesn't offer basic html,
then there is usually a settings link.  When I just signed in, I got the
message offering basic html so it was right at the top of the page.

Re: Very useful program

Handbrake will do all of this and more for free. You just need another free app 
called VLC which breaks the copy protection of the DVD and allows you to 
convert them. All are 100 percent accessible.

RE: Problem with list archives in Google Groups

[Don & Cher Bosch]

I'll answer my own question- Yes, it worked to paste the list archive page
in the address bar after signing into GMail. Yeah!

So after you sign into Gmail, can you put the list address in the address
bar and still be in html when you land in Google Groups?

 

The new GG page has those links that JAWS does not detect as links and even
when I routed JAWS to them and clicked, I could never tell if I made any
lasting changes. Even when I eventually succeeded in bringing up a "revert
to old GG" link, it seemed to be unresponsive to any keystroke combination I
tried. And when the "Settings Button" finally drifted through the fog, it
did not respond like a normal button either. When I finally got the Settings
menu to drop down, I changed that setting but it has reverted to the New GG
again today. When that message is flashing, it seems to take focus away from
anything else. What a royal pain!

Hi,

After signing in, Google offers Basic html to screen reader users.

So, for me, I go in to gmail and sign in, if it doesn't offer basic html,
then there is usually a settings link.  When I just signed in, I got the
message offering basic html so it was right at the top of the page.

editional app or program to do it.  With the converter, it does allow you to 
add folders so you do not have to add files 1 by 1

Re: Very useful program

And you do not necessarily even have to download/install VLC since there is a 
plugin that HandBrake will acquire as necessary that will take care of the copy 
protection.

Twitter client with scalable fonts?

[Nickname unavailable]

Now that the native twitter app is inaccessible, I am looking for a
replacement.  I do need voice over, but I have a little usable vision
and wonder if Tweetlist, Twitterific or Tweetdeck allow the text size
to be scaled up. Does anyone know?

Thank you!

RE: Sorry for last message Braille displays again

[Richard Turner]

Hi Donna,

It depends a bit on the display, but for the most part, once you have them
successfully connected, follow this pattern:
When you are done using the display, lock the phone, then turn off the
display.
When you want to use the display again, make sure the phone is locked, turn
on the display, (with some it helps to wait about 10 or 15 seconds) then
unlock the phone.
They should reconnect without any trouble.

HTH,
Richard

I discovered a couple symbols I did not know we could create on a braille

Dots 8, 1,4,5,6 equals the ¢ (cents sign)  

dots 8,1,5,6 equals the £ (pound sign)

 

They don't show up in braille quite right, but VoiceOver speaks them just
fine and they translate to print just fine.

 

I did not find an equivalent to the double tap and hold though.

RE: Verizon LTE is a battery hog.

[Richard Turner]

I gather then, you also locked the phone once you got on the bus?

If so, then figuring 25 minutes equals 10 percent of your battery would mean
a little over six hours of battery life.  That is better than the 4S was
when it first came out, but not a big improvement either.

braille display

[Marianne Denning]

This is a cross post because I hope for several responses.  I am
purchasing a braille display for an elementary student.  This student
has excellent skills with access technology.  The student will be
using it with an IDevice and a Mac running OS 10 and Windows 7.  JAWS
is the screen reader on Windows.  I want a portable display but not
too small so I am looking at a 32 cell display or a 40 cell display.
Please let me know your experiences.  The student uses a Braillenote
too.

Re: Verizon LTE is a battery hog.

[James Mannion]

How do you calculate? If 25 minutes = 10% then 250 minutes = 100% and
250/60 is about 4.1. In theory though that means that much time of
doing whatever she was doing constantly using that amount of power.

Re: Still trouble with email Can not delete mail

[James Mannion]

Sounds like you may want to go to the Apple store if you can or call
Apple care if you have that and only that option and ask them what in
your configuration is causing your mail to do what it is doing. There
should be some setting or detail or characteristic of your provider
that is causing it.

RE: braille display

[Richard Turner]

You have several good options.  Note, prices are approximate.

Focus 40 blue from Freedom Scientific, $2,800 or their new 14 cell which I
have not seen yet for about $1,300.

Humanware has their Brailliant BI series in 32 or 40 cells. 32 cells $2,600
and 40 $3,000.

HIMS has the Braille Edge, which is a 40 cell for $3,000.

If the BrailleNote is an Apex, it could be used as a display.

Then, there is the RefreshaBraille 18 from APH, $1,700.

I personally rather like the HIMS Braille Edge.  Partly because it has an SD
card and a mini-notepad application that allows for writing down notes
without it connected to any other device.  Those are really only useful if
you are going to keep them on the Braille Edge as they are .brl files, at
least if you want to use contracted braille.  They can be set as txt files,
but you can't read them on a computer unless you write them in uncontracted
braille.  I'm hoping they will do an update that will allow for saving the
braille files as txt.

 HTH,
Richard

Subject: braille display

This is a cross post because I hope for several responses.  I am purchasing
a braille display for an elementary student.  This student has excellent
skills with access technology.  The student will be using it with an IDevice
and a Mac running OS 10 and Windows 7.  JAWS is the screen reader on
Windows.  I want a portable display but not too small so I am looking at a
32 cell display or a 40 cell display.
Please let me know your experiences.  The student uses a Braillenote too.

Multiple calendars

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Everyone,

I am relatively new to this list and apologize if this question has already 
been asked. I have multiple calendars, and am wondering if there is a way to 
see which calendars are showing. When I go to the list of calendars and tap 
"edit," it is not clear to me which calendars are showing and which are hidden. 
Also, is there a way to see which calendar a particular event is associated 
with? I'm running iOS 6. Thanks in advance!

Best,
Lindsay

Hi, in settings and fetch new data, make sure that push and fetch are all
disabled. In the fetch new data section, double tap advance and make sure

Re: Netflix access question

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi,

I just checked, and iTunes still offers some movies for rent. As for Netflix, I 
think there must be focus issues, where Netflix isn't scrolling along with 
VoiceOver, so when we tap, we're not tapping in the right place. Time to 
contact Netflix, I think.

Best,
Anna

Re: braille display

[David Chittenden]

I really like my Alva BC640 with speech pack, and my RefreshaBraille 18 from 
APH. In both cases, I like the way the brailling keys feel. The RefreshaBraille 
has the added benefits of being not much larger than my iPhone, and it connects 
even when the phone is already unlocked.

If my displays were to permanently die, I would strongly consider the 
EuroBraille Esys 20 or 40 cell displays.

Re: Multiple calendars

Television Remote for Visually Impaired

[Louis-Joseph Auguste]

Hello VIPhone Group

We are building a new television remote for the VI and Blind in association 
with the Royal National Institute for the Blind in London.

This remote will be a mobile application for the iPhone and iPad platforms. 
 We have just secured a partnership with TiVo and are now moving ahead with 
the design.

I'm interested in knowing what features would be the most useful for the 
members of this group.

Please tell me what would make the TV controller experience better for you.

I'll keep everyone updated on our progress.  Our website will go live in 
about a month with me more details.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Lou Auguste

RE: article: iPhone 5 honeymoon over already?

[Joe]

Scott,

First, it's Apple, not APple. A little spellcheck for the company you reveer
would go a long way.

Second, the media was merely reflecting what people felt about the new
iPhone 5. Aluminum by its very nature is more fragile, and it is prone to
more scratching. Consumers should have known that going in, but yes, people
get all perturbed when the device isn't what the older models used to be.

But, as another poster has pointed out, if people want to complain, let
them. By golly it's their money, and some of the sentiments may be felt by
other buyers. Countering every post perceived to be negative about Apple or
Apple products does nothing to change anyone's mind.

Just sayin'.

Joe

And because any successful company such as APple has to be busted down.
After all, the media just can't stand having so much success--it doesn't
sell airtime.
The reason all of these other devices receive so little criticism is because
those companies simply do not have the success rate as does APple. 
Although what is more interesting is when Ford or some other company has a
recall with failing fuel lines etc. and you hear much less news and there is
a case that impacts the user's actual life. :)

RE: Television Remote for Visually Impaired

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hello,

 

Will this be just a TV remote or will it control other devices such as home
theatre receivers, satellite receivers, DVD players etc.?

 

Also, will this utilize a IR dongle which needs to be plugged in to the
iPhone or will it work via a hub that is connected to the home network and
which will generate and send out the IR codes?

Sieghard

Re: Playing videos in Facebook

[Nancy Wyman]

Hello,
I just got one to play the other day. Actually it was posted on Facebook but it 
was in YouTube. When I got to YouTube. And I heard voiceover say "hq on" I took 
a wild guess and double tap it. It began playing. Just a stroke of luck 
probably. But give it a try.

Re: Television Remote for Visually Impaired

[Louis-Joseph Auguste]

This will be a Cable Box and Smart TV remote.
We will be using your home's local wifi / router set up and avoiding the IR 
dongle for now.

So satellite receivers yes, smart tvs yes, dvd players and home theatres no 
for version 1.0.

Re: article: iPhone 5 honeymoon over already?

[Scott Howell]

Joe,

First I realize how Apple is spelled, so thank you for observing that I held 
the shift key down a tad to long. Secondly Joe, perhaps instead of proofing 
e-mails for spelling errors etc., you would do better to consider the content 
because obviously Joe, you failed to grasp the point I had made, but not 
surprised when you are more concerned with grammar etc. Joe, also keep in mind 
that I never said customers did not have the right to complain, so you missed 
the entire point. The point I made and will continue to make is that the media 
will look for anything to take Apple to task over. The media seems to be making 
a lot of the issue and from all that I have read and heard the issue is not 
affecting a large number of customers. Now on the other hand you look at issues 
surrounding some of the other phone manufacturers and you hear practically 
nothing. Joe let me see if this helps you understand. Media likes to make a lot 
of noise at the expense of the "top dog." Does that provide sufficient clarity 
for you?
And as always joe, you are entitled to your opinion which is not right or 
wrong; however, entirely yours.

RE: Verizon LTE is a battery hog.

[Daniel Miller]

LTE is going to be a bit tougher on the battery, it's that simple. You're
going to have to make some sacrifices and compromises, or buy a battery case
if you're that worried about it.

Re: Television Remote for Visually Impaired

[Kevin Barry]

As most appliances operated by remote control use IR to communicate; 
you'd need some way for an IOS device to transmit IR.
I personally prefer a networked transmitter that does not attach to 
any IOS device.

I'm interested in knowing what features would be the most useful for

Please tell me what would make the TV controller experience better for you.

Re: Television Remote for Visually Impaired

[Louis-Joseph Auguste]

So, you would be happier if it worked via an IRtrans hub and controlled 
more devices.

Our current design will not require additional IR support, because we will 
be connecting directly to the cable boxes via your home's wifi / router.

Would having IR signal and requiring a dongle or trans hub be more 
practical for you than a mobile app that talks to all cable boxes via your 
home's wifi.

Subject: Very useful program



Hello, I use a program called "Movavi video converter".  I originally used
it on windows, and still do.  But it is much more accessible on the mac.
What this program does, is take your AVI, MKV, and many other formats of
videos and puts them in the MP4 format soe that you can put them in to
iTunes to be sinked with your I device.  For me this was a huge help, since
I have over 2000 movies and TV shows that I like to watch, that are already
on an external HD, and I didn't want to have to by them again through
iTunes.  Now I just convert the movies I want, import them in to iTunes, and
I'm good to go.  No paying for extra data to watch through iTunes match, no
spending hundreds of dollars to buy them in iTunes store.  Just spending 40
bucks for this program.  And when a new version comes out, you get 30
percent off the upgrade.  And for those of you who have a DVD collection
that you want to rip to your hard drive, I have heard of people using
handbreak for this, and even DVD remaster.  Personally I have never gotten
either one of those programs to work for me.  A program I did have success
with is called "DVD to AVI"  It's made by a company called "Leawo software"
Not only does it rip the DVD for you, but by passes the copy write
protection with no other apps or programs to install.  Don't know how vo
accessible it is, cause never used it on the mac.  Personally I haven't
bought a DVD or rented from the redbox in over a year.  I use other
resources not fit for this list.  If you'd like to know more about that, my
contact info is always at the end of my messages.  Hope this helps someone
save money like it did me.

Re: Television Remote for Visually Impaired

[Kevin Barry]

If I understand you correctly, if you connect directly to the box in 
question, it will only  work with boxes that allow this.

This is likely a small number.
Besides, there are many other devices people might wish to control 
from blu-ray players to  surround sound receivers.

Our current design will not require additional IR support, because 
we will be connecting directly to the cable boxes via your home's 
wifi / router.


Would having IR signal and requiring a dongle or trans hub be more 
practical for you than a mobile app that talks to all cable boxes 
via your home's wifi.

I'm interested in knowing what features would be the most useful for the

Please tell me what would make the TV controller experience better for you.

Re: Television Remote for Visually Impaired

[Christopher Chaltain]

I don't know how accessible it is, but TiVo already has an iPhone app. I
haven't used it much yet, but it seems to be accessible so far. How
would this app compare to what TiVo already has? I've also seen apps for
home theater systems from Yamaha, Pioneer, Denon and Onkyo. Again, I
don't know how accessible these apps are. These apps all talk to network
capable devices over the local network. I'm all for this effort. I just
wonder how it compares to what's already available.

One feature I would like to see is the ability of the remote to speak the 
program listings. This would allow us to select a program to watch or record 
independently.

Re: article: iPhone 5 honeymoon over already?

[Christopher Chaltain]

Well, I kind of agreed with Joe on this point. I don't spend a lot of
time out there trolling around for reports on other cell phone
manufacturers, so my view is mostly skewed by what I see on this list,
and therefore I see a lot more news concerning Apple than I do other
cell phone makers. Obviously, it's more news worthy to jump on someone
on top or pile on someone who's on the bottom, and I don't think there's
much we can do about it, and I don't think complaining is going to
change much. It's also interesting how you'll have people complain how
unfair and one sided the news media is, but some of those same people
are making the same kind of unfair generalizations about the news media
itself.

I know Apple has the perception of being to top cell phone maker in the
world, and I think this is true emotionally, but I read the other day
that there are more Android devices in the world than IOS devices and
that Samsung has recently passed up Nokia as the number one cell phone
maker in the world.

I don't see the original post below, but I seem to recall that Ford and
fuel lines were mentioned, which doesn't make sense to me at all. When I
think of how many stories I've seen regarding Toyota, Ford, Audi,
Firestone and so on, I don't think Apple is being singled out here at all.

Re: Television Remote for Visually Impaired

[Louis-Joseph Auguste]

I have not had a chance to demo the new Tivo app, so I can't speak on it.

Our goal is to make a universal app that will work with any cable box, and 
is being made specifically for the VI and blind market.  

We are working to make sure VoiceOver works with all components of the 
application.  Where as sometimes with other devices you simply get the 
"button" response.

Tech Doctor podcast entitled iPhone 5 and iOS 6

[Robert Carter]

Hi All,

I have been working with the new iPhone 5 and iOS 6 for a little over a week. 
This podcast discusses my experience and reviews the most significant features 
that are present in iOS 6.

The podcast can be found on iTunes by searching for Tech Doctor. It is 
available on iBlink Radio and directly from my website.
http://www.dr-carter.com

Enjoy.

Robert

RE: Television Remote for Visually Impaired

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

I would like to easily program into the remote only the channels I watch most 
frequently, for example the 10-15 channels among the many dozens or more 
available for viewing. I also would like the option of having up to 5 channels 
in the Last Channel Viewed switch, kind of like the rotor options in iOS. I 
don't know if I'd use up to 5 channels for this purpose, but I do know I 
sometimes would like to have 3 or even 4 channels among which I could toggle 
quickly and easily.

Hello VIPhone Group

We are building a new television remote for the VI and Blind in association 
with the Royal National Institute for the Blind in London.

This remote will be a mobile application for the iPhone and iPad platforms.  We 
have just secured a partnership with TiVo and are now moving ahead with the 
design.

I'm interested in knowing what features would be the most useful for the 
members of this group.

Please tell me what would make the TV controller experience better for you.

I'll keep everyone updated on our progress.  Our website will go live in about 
a month with me more details.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Re: article: iPhone 5 honeymoon over already?

[Scott Howell]

Chris,

I don't even have to troll for articles because if you red any of the tech 
blogs etc. (or not) it's splattered all over the news. As far as whether the 
media is fair or not is really not the issue. If it is news (what everyone is 
talking about) the media wants in on the chatter fest. Hey, for the media it is 
all about sales and if you don't join in on the fun, then you get left behind. 
And there is always a little tendency to beat up on the "top dog" because 
people have the perception that when a company is doing that well and then 
makes a mistake, you just gotta take em to the woodshed. You are correct in 
that there are more devices running android then iOS, but not at all surprising 
when you consider there is one APple and thus one manufacture of iOS devices. 
Samson is only one of several manufacturers of devices running android. Well I 
think enough has been said from my perspective on this topic.

Re: Sorry for last message Braille displays again

[Ron Miller]

Hi,
Any time you need to re-connect your braille display with the iPhone or you've 
locked your iPhone and want it to come up and begin displaying braille when you 
wake it up, remember to always have the braille display powered on before you 
re-start or unlock your iPhone. I can only speak authoritativly about the Focus 
Blue braille displays, but when the displan is already on, the phone should 
find the display when it ues up, or is unlocked using the power butson or the 
Home button.

As long as Bluetooth is active, the iPhone should find the braille display if 
it has already been paired with the phone.

Best regards

Ron Miller

Re: Television Remote for Visually Impaired

[Ben Mustill-Rose]

Hi Lou,

I find this very interesting, partly because I've wanted something
like this for a while and partly because I'm making something that
does the exact same thing, although my solution would need much more
technical knowhow than the average user has in its current form.

I think the best root for you to take is to make a device that is able
to learn IR codes from any device that a user already has; this way
you're not limiting yourself to any particular device like a virgin
media box or a sky box. I've spent the past 2 or so years searching
for a Freeview box that is controllable over WIFI or has firmware that
is open enough that I can just write the functionality myself, but
apart from one very old PVR from topfield which has some community
based firmware modifications, there wasn't really anything that came
close to providing what I (And I think you) also want. Even if you did
manage to get one model working, there are so many different Freeview
boxes around in the UK that the chances are that potential customers
wouldn't have one of the boxes that your system works with.
A few months ago, a company called Tvonics came out with some talking
Freeview recorders in partnership with the RNIB. Unfortunately, just
over a month later, Tvonics went into administration and as far as I
know everyone at Tvonics was left unemployed. Because of this, it's
very unlikely that you will be able to control these boxes without
some form of device that sits in-between the box and an iPhone because
the team that writes the firmware for them simply doesn't exist
anymore. I mention this company because if you are working with the
RNIB, it would at least to me look quite strange if a RNIB approved
device such as yours was unable to work with the only widely used
accessible Freeview recorder on the market which was also created in
conjunction with the RNIB.

The EPG information is an interesting problem although when I started
developing my solution I thought it would be fairly easy to solve. Out
of interest, where are you getting the EPG data from? I am aware of
the radio times listings for Freeview that are available in XML, but
if EPG data for *every* Freeview channel is downloaded, this amounts
to hundreds of MB's of data that need to be searched when a user is
looking for a program for example. In my experience, this doesn't
happen quickly enough on commodity hardware for it to be a nice enough
experience for the end user. I'm toying with the idea of offloading
this functionality to a server which would store the listings using
MYSQL and then allow access to it through an API although I currently
don't have time to develop this.
One thing that I found out that you might not know (Apologies if you
do) is that not every Freeview box will have the same numbers for each
channel - E.G. channel 4 +1 will not always be number 13 on every box.
This makes it quite hard to create a program guide that changes the
channel, since for it to work correctly, the user needs to manually
specify the number that each channel uses on their own box.

Lastly, I'll end with a big question: Why are you targeting this at
blind people? There are lots of people who have multiple remotes that
want something like this; even people who have a universal remote such
as a Harmony will surely like the idea of being able to control their
devices from an iDevice; partly because you're getting rid of the
range problems associated with IR and replacing them with packets sent
over WIFI which obviously has a much longer range.
There are a few devices that already do this but it's very hard to
find them in the UK plus none of them are overly good value; how about
you make an amazing solution targeted towards the technical consumer
that just so happens to be accessible with voiceover?

I'd be really interested to speak with you off list about this; my
email address is replacewithfirstn...@benmr.com. Regardless of what
you do and how you do it, good luck!!

Ben.

Re: article: iPhone 5 honeymoon over already?

I also think some of this is a result of Apple's model. They make a big
splash releasing an update to their mobile OS and most of their mobile
devices, so there's going to be a lot of press, both good and negative.
I don't think you'll have as much of a media frenzy over Android or
Samsung where things are more fragmented and spread out. I'm not saying
this is good or bad but just not unexpected. Like I said, they also get
a lot of publicity and good press out of this as well.

 Scott,

 First, it's Apple, not APple. A little spellcheck for the company you 
 reveer
 would go a long way.

 Second, the media was merely reflecting what people felt about the new
 iPhone 5. Aluminum by its very nature is more fragile, and it is prone to
 more scratching. Consumers should have known that going in, but yes, people
 get all perturbed when the device isn't what the older models used to be.

 But, as another poster has pointed out, if people want to complain, let
 them. By golly it's their money, and some of the sentiments may be felt by
 other buyers. Countering every post perceived to be negative about Apple or
 Apple products does nothing to change anyone's mind.

RE: Television Remote for Visually Impaired

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If it connects directly via wWiFi this means a lot of older devices that are
not network attached can't be controlled. I am in Canada and have a Bell
Expressvu satellite receiver which is hooked up to my network. However, Bell
already provides their own app which is quite voiceover accessible and which
allows me to see what's playing, select a program and set up the PVR
function of the receiver for recording stuff. My Sony LCD TV which is about
5 years old is not capable to be connected to my WiFi and I think there
would be a lot of people for whom your app would be more or less useless
because they have stuff that isn't network or WiFi capable yet.

 

I think having a solution similar to the RedEye remote is better as long as
you can find a hub that is reasonable in price. I haven't tried RedEye yet
because the hub is $200, but I probably will try it this winter. I wrote to
them and they claim it is Voiceover accessible, they are interested in
getting feedback and told me that through the retailer they offer a 30-day
money back guaranty should it not be to my liking.

 

I have tried one solution, the RE Universal Remote, which uses a 30-Pin IR
Dongle and while it works to some extend, it is not as Voiceover friendly as
it needs to be and what's more, I am not at all interested in something I
have to plug in to my phone because it is too inconvenient and I also found,
and this would apply to any app no matter how well it worked, that simply
the fact that I have to pick up my iPhone or iPod Touch, unlock it, go into
the app is slow by nature especially if all you want to do is turn the
volume up or down and I just don't see how I would ever use it over the
remote that came with my device. The same goes if maybe you are watching a
DVD and you want to pause it because the phone is ringing, I guess if it was
an iPhone app and assuming it would controla DVD player which you said it
doesn't at first, there could be a setting to automatically Pause when the
phone is ringing just like music playback stops when the phone is ringing.

 

Anyhow, there are many ifs and all sorts of issues. I like the idea of a
universal remote rather than having 4 or 5 remotes on my coffee table, how
cool would it be if Logitech put simple voice output into one of their
Harmony remotes.

Sieghard

So, you would be happier if it worked via an IRtrans hub and controlled more
devices.

 

Our current design will not require additional IR support, because we will
be connecting directly to the cable boxes via your home's wifi / router.

 

Would having IR signal and requiring a dongle or trans hub be more practical
for you than a mobile app that talks to all cable boxes via your home's
wifi.

Re: Accessible Twitter application

[James Mannion]

I don't use the program right now, but that's strange that it is an
IPhone 5 thing. That suggests they must have changed the coding for
the IPhone 5 different screen and broken accessibility in some way in
that process? If not then it is another one of those random things
that happen in some cases and not others with no reasonable
explaination known of the cause?

Hello, friends: I have an Ipod touch, and am a member of bookshare.org. I 
learned of an app called Go 2 Read that allows one to get and read books from 
Bookshare on an Apple device; the problem is that the app costs nearly $20. Has 
anyone had experience using this app? It is worth the money? Most apps are free 
or very inexpensive. I would appreciate any help about this.

Re: bookshare app

Hello,

The app is called Read2Go, and it works very well. You can use it to search for 
books from Bookshare and download them to your device. You can read them with 
Voiceover or a cappella voices built into the app. I use a braille display 
frequently with it, and in the current version, it is doing a great job 
remembering my place from one time to the next when I read. Read2Go also plays 
unencrypted DAISY books with text, audio, or both. So Yes, if you want to read 
DAISY books and use Bookshare frequently, I think it's worth the money.

Best,
Anna

Re: Television Remote for Visually Impaired

Hi Sieghard

I fully understand that most people have older devices in their home.
We are building for the future and believe that most cable boxes either already 
have or will have an Ethernet connection in the next few years.

I've heard a lot of requests for older devices during this conversation, we've 
talked about it ourselves in the company, so I think we will develop an IR 
solution as well.

Thanks

on my 4S here in British Columbia and I have had no issues like that.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

  Hi, in settings and fetch new data, make sure that push and fetch are all 
disabled. In the fetch new data section, double tap advance and make sure that 
all mail accounts are set to manual.

Hi,  

I have an iPod touch 4 and an iPhone 4 S.  

Both have push turned off and check for mail manually.  On the iPod touch 
it does what it is supposed to do but my iPhone still checks for email.  

What could be the reason for this and how do I fix it?

 Hello VIPhone Group
 
 We are building a new television remote for the VI and Blind in 
 association with the Royal National Institute for the Blind in London.
 
 This remote will be a mobile application for the iPhone and iPad 
 platforms.  We have just secured a partnership with TiVo and are now 
 moving ahead with the design.
 
 I'm interested in knowing what features would be the most useful for the 
 members of this group.
 
 Please tell me what would make the TV controller experience better for you.
 
 I'll keep everyone updated on our progress.  Our website will go live in 
 about a month with me more details.
 
 Look forward to hearing from you.
 
 Lou Auguste

RE: Television Remote for Visually Impaired

[Cristobal]

Technical or conectivity aspects aside, as an end user, I think other than
the standard keypad and volume controls that would probably be the base of
any app remote solution, would be the ability to access other features that
appear on the television screen like program information, ratings, etc. Just
as importantly though would also be the ability to control what information
is provided. More isn't always better. Flicking back and forth between
channels, I don't necessarily need to know what's on channel 7 for the
umpteenth time if I'm going between two programs and am commercial hopping.
DVR interaction, television guides and other goodies which are now pretty
much a no go would also be nice.

This will be a Cable Box and Smart TV remote.

We will be using your home's local wifi / router set up and avoiding the IR
dongle for now.

So satellite receivers yes, smart tvs yes, dvd players and home theatres no
for version 1.0.

Hello,

 

Will this be just a TV remote or will it control other devices such as home
theatre receivers, satellite receivers, DVD players etc.?

 

Also, will this utilize a IR dongle which needs to be plugged in to the
iPhone or will it work via a hub that is connected to the home network and
which will generate and send out the IR codes?

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard
