Re: knfb reader
I guess I tend to take what people and companies say at face value. I guess I also don't see what the value is in spending energy dissecting what a company says and speculating what's really going on behind the scenes. Whether a company announces in July that a product will be released at the end of August or whether they announce in August it'll be coming out in mid-September, it'll still be coming out when it comes out. From my experience, upgrades are quite tricky and hard to test. Who knows what API changes Apple is making from IOS 7 to IOS 8 and what code paths KNFB has in it to work well on both versions. Sure, KNFB can be testing upgrades now with the beta of IOS 8, but how many combinations of models, memory, other applications and so on can they test. It makes sense to me that they'd wait until IOS 8 comes out. This gives them more time to test and it means a lot of people will be upgrading to IOS 8 before installing KNFB, eliminating a lot of potential problems. I seem to recall a handful of apps had trouble transitioning from IOS 6 to IOS 7. Companies are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Didn't we have a discussion on this list after IOS 7 came out that Apple should have held it off a bit to get more testing in and fix more accessibility bugs? Apple places a lot on their big events, so they're not going to slip a IOS release, unless it's a major dead on arrival kind of a bug. KNFB seems like they're willing to take a hit a bit on postponing their release, which by the way means delaying their revenue stream, and maybe they're doing this to get a better and more stable product out the door. I'm willing to wait a few weeks if it means dealing with fewer issues. I'm sure KNFB didn't make this decision lightly, and I'm sure they had some very smart people looking at some numbers and making a very tough decision.

I guess we'll find out on Tuesday in a week whether there will be a 4.7 inch and a 5.5 inch iPhone 6 or if there will only be the 4.7 inch model for now with the larger one to follow later. I also heard rumours now that an iWatch may be announced on the 9^th as well. Maybe the expected 13 Megapixel iPhone 6 camera which is rumoured to actually protrude a bit beyond the thickness of the phone along with these under the hood changes will make KNFB Reader on an iPhone 6 even better, but that certainly is not a reason why the app can't be released for the 5S with iOS 7 unless they are just not ready to release it to the public in which case they should just say so.

Apple's event is on the 9th. If Apple's past timetable is followed, and they have been very consistent in recent years, the Gold master of iOS 8 will be released to developers right after the presentation. That gives developers a few days to find absolute show stoppers, and they would have to be absolutely huge, for any change to be made. The iOS itself is released about a week later. That would make iOS 8 release day the 17th. One possible reason for KNFB delaying the release is if they are using some of the cool new APIs in 8. There are a lot of under the hood changes to the camera.

Re: Problem with inbox and all mailboxes
Sorry if this was already answered, but I didn't see it if it was. On your first point, no there's no fix for this that I know of. If you open up a folder then you'll see the number of unread messages in that folder on the top of the screen, but you don't see it in the folder list. I think this changed from IOS 6 to IOS 7. I don't know what you mean by your second point. What do you mean when you say you delete messages out of both boxes? Which boxes are you talking about?

Re: knfb reader
My understanding is that it isn't just the megapiels. A lot has to do with the actual sensor - how much light it can pick up, how wide the field is, and so on. Then, even more depends on post-capture processing by the phone's graphics processor. The 4S has pretty weak graphics processing compared to the 5 and later, and its sensor is just not as good. I'm sure there are articles online that go into way more detail, but that's the basic idea, again as I understand it. On Aug 31, 2014, at 7:55 AM, Andrew J.

Why not avoid all the goofs who download the app right after release, don’t upgrade properly, and then complain about the app not preforming properly. Releasing after iOS 8 would encourage folks to install on top of the new iOS rather than the old one. From a marketing perspective, many people in North America and Europe are on vacation in August, going back to school, or otherwise tuned out. This weekend, Chicago has its jazz festival. The last thing I want to do is learn a new iPhone app on one of the last warm weekends of summer. I agree with Sieghard, the KNFB folks likely ran out of runway and needed to abort take off on the timeframe announced in early July, causing us to speculate needlessly on why this company cannot properly meet its commitments. This app has been hyped beyond belief. Will it slice bread after it is released? People are expecting perfection and the extraordinary. I’m waiting to learn about actual end user experiences beyond a scripted demonstration or from the favored people KNFB decided to allow to interact with the app. Kelly On 8/29/14, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Jonathan, Correct, from what I heard iOS 8 is expected to be released to the public on Wednesday, September 17 followed by the iPhone 6 on Friday the 19th. I guess we'll find out on Tuesday in a week whether there will be a 4.7 inch and a 5.5 inch iPhone 6 or if there will only be the 4.7 inch model for now with the larger one to follow later. I also heard rumours now that an iWatch may be announced on the 9th as well. Maybe the expected 13 Megapixel iPhone 6 camera which is rumoured to actually protrude a bit beyond the thickness of the phone along with these under the hood changes will make KNFB Reader on an iPhone 6 even better, but that certainly is not a reason why the app can't be released for the 5S with iOS 7 unless they are just not ready to release it to the public in which case they should just say so.

Apple's event is on the 9th. If Apple's past timetable is followed, and they have been very consistent in recent years, the Gold master of iOS 8 will be released to developers right after the presentation. That gives developers a few days to find absolute show stoppers, and they would have to be absolutely huge, for any change to be made. The iOS itself is released about a week later. That would make iOS 8 release day the 17th.

No, from what I've read, iOS7 will be supported. However, iOS8 offers finer control over the camera, so it wouldn't surprise me to see iOS8 devices getting better results.

Re: Problem with inbox and all mailboxes
all messages is a reflection of all the inboxes, so you can manage it all at once. If I get the same message in more than one inbox, it shows up in AllMesssages, as a thread, so can delete them all at the same time. When I've thinned out the dross, I'll back up and read the inboxes individually. As for the other issue, this is a setting under advanced when you specify when or iff to deletes messages off the server once you have copies on your idevice. - Original Message - From: Lynn White lynnwhite...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2014 6:02 PM Subject: Re: Problem with inbox and all mailboxes Hi Christopher, Well, what is happening is that they messages show up in both all-male and inboxes.

Re: Problem with inbox and all mailboxes
OK, I see. I never delete anything from All Mail, although I know others do. Maybe they'll chime in or you can read up more on this with a Google search. I just go through my in box and either move messages to a folder or delete them. If I delete them, they show up in the Trash folder. After about 30 days, anything in the Trash folder will be automatically deleted. The All Mail folder simply shows everything you have in any folder, so if you delete a message from the in box, it'll move to the trash folder, but you'll still see it in the All Mail folder. I usually just use the All Mail folder to look for a message I know I saved somewhere, but I don't know what folder I placed it in. Like I said, I just let Google do as much of the work for me as they can, and this includes deleting my trashed messages after about 30 days. BTW, I have to go looking into my Trash folder several times when I accidentally deleted something before I wanted to.

Re: knfb reader
When I decided to buy my first iPhone in 2012, I faced the choice of the 4S or the new iPhone 5. What convinced me then was the knowledge that the processor of the iPhone 5 was twice as fast as the processor of the 4S. I believed then that this difference would enable new apps to run on this powerful new phone that eventually could not run on the 4S. Apparently, the future is today with the KNFB reader, as key portions of iOS 8 are not supported for 4S phones. With a camera that preforms poorly in low light, the limitations of the 4S are becoming obvious. The dropping of the 4S from KNFB’s lineup of supported phones shows why it is foolish to buy old technology, such as getting a 5C instead of a 5S. Being locked into last year’s technology will be costlier later when future upgrade costs are considered compared to buying the current version now and upgrading less frequently.

Comparable Replacement Earbuds to the Bose MIE2I
I lost my Bose today. Really bummed, as these were the best earbuds I have ever tried. I am wondering for any of you with experience with this model, can you recommend anything comparable. I love them for the sound of course, but also they are super comfortable, small and lightweight. I am just thinking I might try something different, having used these for the past three years. Just for information, these run $129. That is certainly the most I have yet paid for earbuds and wouldn't want to go much higher. Especially, since I just lost them... Thanks for any suggestions!

Re: Problem with inbox and all mailboxes
This looks kind of confusing to me. I'm not sure about the terminology being used. There are inboxes for each account, there is ALL INBOXES and then there is ALL MAILBOXES. All mailboxes doesn't actually show any emails; it is the hallway from which you choose the various doors into accounts and boxes. All INBOXES shows all your incoming emails regardless of which account they came to when sent. Each individual inbox shows the mail that came to that account so of course mail will show up in ALL INBOXES and one of the inboxes. As for ALL MAIL, there is or can be such a mailbox at least in gmail which would indeed contain all messages including ones deleted according to your setup. I'm not sure what the exact issue is here but I think the terminology being used might be creating confusion. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Muting hash tags in the Twitter app
Greetings. I am checking out the Twitter app since TweetList 4 is crashing too often for my tastes. Is it possible to mute hash tags in Twitter, and if so, how? I am used to triple tapping on a tweet in TweetList but that doesn't work in Twitter. Also, a somewhat related question, does the Twitter app remember my place in the timeline if I leave it for a few hours? TweetList was pretty good at this for the most part.

RE: Can VDR read material that VoiceOver cannot
VoiceOver can read PDF documents as well. If VoiceOver can't read it, Voice Dream Reader can't either. If the PDF is graphics and not actual text, VDR cannot read it either. Yes, graphical PDF files can be converted to text with OCR, but you are likely not going to get very good results unless the original PDF is extremely good, letter quality graphics.

RE: knfb reader
Hi Alan, The iPhone 3GS had a 3 MP camera, the iPhone 4 had a 5 MP and the iPhone 4S, 5, 5C and 5S all have an 8 MP camera. It is correct, however, that the same 8 MP camera on the 5S is better than that on the 4S or 5 since the sensor has larger pixels and it has the 2-tone flash which yields better results in low light. And yes, I can see how the processing of the image is best on a 5S and better on a 5 or 5C than it is on the 4S and of course it will yet be better on the various iPhone 6 models which besides getting the A8 chip most likely will feature a 13 MP camera. I am not sure where you get the 8.5 Megapixel number, not that 8 MP or 8.5 MP would mnake a big difference, but here is part of a description of the 5S eyesight camera followed by the link to the entire article: The new iSight camera on iPhone 5s builds on the iPhone 5 camera in ways that make a real difference to your photos. It captures beautiful images at 8 megapixels. What makes them beautiful is a redesigned camera sensor that allows for bigger pixels. Bigger pixels equal better photos. And better photos are precisely what inspired the advancements we made with the new iSight camera on iPhone 5s. Larger sensor. Larger pixels. Larger aperture. Light is one of the most important factors in getting a great photo. Not just how well your subject is lit, but how sensitive your camera’s sensor is to light. Here’s how it works: A camera’s sensor — and the pixels on it — collect light. The larger the sensor and the larger the pixels, the more light is collected. And that translates to better, brighter images with truer colours and less noise. https://www.apple.com/ca/iphone-5s/camera Regards, Sieghard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alan Paganelli Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2014 11:42 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: knfb reader I believe the 4 and the 4s have a 3.2 megapixel camera.

Further, the user likely will not hold the camera at exactly 180 degrees from the document, as it will take the image with the phone being held in the hand. Some are expecting perfection or results that are better from software 10 times the price or with equipment 10 to 20 times the price. KNFB is not claiming this level of accuracy and reliability nor can it really. It is the limitation of the technology. The company says it will deliver performance equal to or greater than that of the original KNFB Reader. This technology was widely praised at the time, but it was unaffordable to many. Now, the price point has been dramatically lowered. If it can match or better the performance of the original KNFB reader without using a stand or an external lighting source, the app will be worth it to me and I suspect many other people.

Re: lire and background fetching of articles
So it's a push notification you are after? I thought, from your message, you were only wanting it to update in the background, not alert you. Sorry for the confusion. I don't think Lire can do push notifications, which I consider to be a very good thing - I'd get hundreds of notifications throughout the day, and if I had it tell me every x hours, I'd always get a notification, so I may as well skip the interruption and just check the app anyway. :) I can see how push might be nice if you are only subscribed to very few feeds, though; you can email supp...@lireapp.com to suggest this. The developer is nice, and usually responds well to feedback. On Aug 31, 2014, at 7:11 PM, Devin Prater r.d.t.pra...@gmail.com wrote: I've checked all that.

Next, flick right until you get to the more info button and double tap. In this dialogue, you will find a button that states block this caller. Simply double tap on this button, flick right to yes and double tap. This number will now be blocked. Hope that helps On 8/31/14, Donald L.

Please tell me how to do so. I have blocked phone calls from some numbers but don't know how to preclude text messages from unwelcome posters. Thanks.

Number of notifications still being announced in locked screen
In order to be able to have my Braille Edge paired with several devices while keeping my Edge but losing contact with one device whenever another unlocked to announce notifications, I chose in settings not to have notifications spoken in locked screen. But while the noffifications themselves are not now announced in my locked screen, my i-devices frequently come into the unlock screen in order to announce how many notifications I have. If this was not so annoying, it would be extremely funny! But if you don't want your notifications being announced, in many cases this also means you don't want the fact that you have notifications announced either! Without turning off all notifications, is there a way to stop this? Is there a setting that actually will not speak anything about notifications in the locked screen? I do realize that do not disturb would be an option, but then I'd have to have do not disturb turned on pretty much all the time. Thanks for any suggestions. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
