Seeing eye on multiple devices

[A. R.]

Hi list,
Wondering about how Seeing Eye GPS works on multiple devices. For example, 
could spouses who share an iTunes account have it on each of their iPhones? Or 
could an individual have it on their iPhone and iPad?
Thanks for any input.

Backup and Transfer

[A R]

Hi list,
Apple is going to be replacing my iPhone with a new iPhone. I have backed my 
current phone up in iTunes. However I have not done so through iCloud.

The data that I am most concerned about getting from the old phone to the new 
phone, are things like text message history, phone log calling history, 
voicemails, voice memos and notes. 

I have heard that sometimes some information is not included in the backup or 
successfully included in the transfer to the new device.

Do both or neither, iTunes and iCloud, include text message history and phone 
call history in the backups?

Once a backup has been made, how do you successfully put it on a new device?

Thanks for all help and suggestions!

Amy

hanging up calls on new 6s with 9.2

[R VanLant]

I am having a really hard time getting my new 6s phone to hang up.  I've
typically been taking or making calls without an ear piece in so I've tried
pressing the power button and two finger double tapping.  I've had to resort
to pulling the phone away from my ear and finding the end call button.
Please tell me there is a better way.

new to Siri

[R VanLant]

Since I just upgraded from an old iPhone 4, I am loving the little I have
found I can do with Siri to dictate text messages and to use the dictate
function on other emails and entry fields.   To what extent can I ask Siri
to do things with other non-native apps such as Facebook messenger?   What
are your favorite uses for Siri that are good for me to know?  Is there a
general Siri how to overview out thre?  Finally, Siri seems to understand me
quite well, but is there a way to train her to my voice?  I cannot find an
option like that in settings.  

 

Thanks.

Robin

RE: Siri and contacts with company names only:

[R VanLant]

I'm in the same boat here.  Siri will dial my kids pediatrician's office, but 
when I ask for several other company listins in my phone contacts,  it's 
obvious Siri is looking on the web to find relevant  numbers.  I had the same 
bad experience on my old iphone 4 before I had Siri and just used the build in 
voice commands.

Wow!  That's really something.  

I just tried the method I described on all three of my most recent iPhones and,

both of their iPhones and Siri worked perfectly.  Unlike me, they both have the

I'll definitely use the feedback form to add my voice to this problem.

Hello Mark,
Sorry, but I have already tried calling contacts that just have the name in the 
company field by including the label, and Siri still says that there is no 
phone number for that contact.
I can not say why Siri will call some of the contacts, and not call others, but 
including or not including the label makes no difference.

In my own personal case, Siri will call all of my companies except for 2 or 3.  
I can not find any difference in my company contacts, I use the same label for 
all.  I do think this is a problem that Apple needs to look into.

why audible?

[R VanLant]

I have the BARD and Kindle apps on my phone and just purchased VoiceDream to
access my bookshare account.  Many of you also talk about Audible.  I have
stayed away from  this because I figured I could get plenty of reading
material for free or at lower Kindle prices, but I found a deal of 3 months
of Audible for $8.00.  Given what I understand the limitations to be on the
number of books you buy each month, what is your thoughts on when to buy a
book through Audible given all the other great ways we  can get books on my
phone now?   I want to make the most of this trial and figure out how to
determine if it's worth continuing a subscription.

emails linking directly to apps

[R VanLant]

It used to be that when I clicked on a link in an email from Facebook or
LinkedIn that it would open in the app, not in Safari.  On my new phone, I
cannot get this to happen.  When I click on a message in Facebook for
example, I ever so briefly see that a message from  the phone tries to pop
up to ask if I want to open the link in Facebook, but before I can click on
it, Safari opens.  Anyone know how to make this adjustment?  I'd rather work
in the apps than on the website in Safari.

app store question

[R VanLant]

I've just notice now that I'm on my new phone that the app store sometimes
shows "Get" and sometimes "Download" by the app I'm looking to acquire.  Why
the difference?  I don't recall this "Download" option in the past.

Is there a way to indicate a question mark if I am having Siri dictate a text

RE: accesseable app for local news

You may need to try all of your local news station apps.  My nbc app was not at

try them all and see if you can get one to work.

RE: Voice Dream Reader and browsing/downloading books?

[R VanLant]

Two additional questions on Voice Dream...
1)  I'm curious of the advantages of using the built in speech option within 
Voice Dream as opposed to using the two finger swipe down and letting my normal 
IOS voice do the job.  Other than being able to pick a different voice you may 
like better, what are the advantages that I'm not seeing yet to using the built 
in reader function? 

2) Also, Bookshare used to offer a way to skim for New York Times best sellers 
on their site.  Can you find that same search option somehow within Voice 
Dream?  I didn't see if the other day when I was setting up my new Voice Dream.

Yes, you can add books from book share. From the home screen or from the folder 
to which you want to add your book share books, you should find an add button 
down in the lower left corner of your screen. Double tap that. Then double tap 
on book share which is also down in the lower left. You will then see a number 
of choices, starting at the top with the search, which lets you type in a 
search for a title or an author and then double tap the search button. You can 
also select category and then pick the category want, or latest, which gives 
you a long list of the latest books added to book share. You scroll through and 
  Double tap the download button you find next to the title you want to 
download. Or, if you see a title you'd like more information on before 
downloading, double tap the title, and on the next screen, you will find a 
synopsis. If you decide you want the book, there is a download button near the 
top of that screen. If you don't want to, go back and resume you're scrolling 
or search. Deleting books is easy. When you have books either in a folder that 
you're looking at or just on the main screen if you didn't make any folders and 
have books there, you can find the title you would like to delete, then just 
flick up with the rotor said to action, and you will be presented with the 
choice to delete like what happens in mail. Double tap and you're done. The 
book is gone. I can't answer your language question, as I have only read 
English books in this app.

RE: why audible?

[R VanLant]

Thank you all.  I appreciate you insights  on Audible.  I did not realize they 
include dramatiztions, so that might be a nice way for me to use the credits.  
It’s nice to know that they  have a return policy, too.

I use Audible less now than I did, but there are some books that have a great 
human reader that are not available through BARD or the CD package costs too 
much and is Audible usually has the best price on audio books. Plus, their 
books, listened to with their app, have the best book navigation options of 
other audio books.

Though, as you may have noticed with BARD, they are getting more commercially 
recorded books in their system. So, I always check BARD first before deciding 
to buy an Audible book.

At this point, I probably read more books from Bookshare using Voice Dream 
Reader than any other method.

Some books just are better with a human reader in my opinion.

 

Ultimately, it boils down to personal preference if you want human read books 
and how much you are willing to pay for them.

Enjoy,

Richard

RE: Accessible children's books on iPhon/iPad

[R VanLant]

I had a couple that were not really accessible, but once my sighted husband 
showed my then 4 year old where to click, she could do it on her own on my 
phone.  I think I just did some search in the app store for kids book audible 
or such.  We had Sleeping Beauty and the Princess and the Pea. 

Glad to hear ibooks has some; maybe I'll try that.  

You might also find out if your  local library offers Tumblebooks.  It's up the 
each library whether they  make these available to patrons via their website or 
just within the library. I'm hoping I can access my library's account with 
Tumblebook from my phone.  These are books with audio.  Never tried them, but 
it's worth mentioning while we are on the topic.

Also, I was listening to a podcast on using a Bluetooth keyboard with

RE: Excess ability and usability of sign-up genius

[R VanLant]

Mary,
My church and my kids preschool use it.  The website is OK, but I recently 
tried doing it in Safari with VoiceOver and I think I found it easier than on 
Internet Explorer and pretty straightforward.  I need to sign up again in the 
next couple days, so I'll try to take special note of anything that is odd.  
Typically, you get an invitation link from  someone and it takes you to the 
sign up page.  There is a little greeting at the top then the needs are laid 
out in a table.  For example, iff the sign up is for childcare workers, the 
first column may be the date, then the age group, then a place for you to mark 
a checkbox if you want to sign up.  It will show names next to the items for 
which someone has signed up already  Once you mark off the things you wish to 
vounter for, you click a Sign Up button at the bottom and then it will ask if 
you give you an option to log in or register.   As you coiffirm your signup, 
you can add a comment if you want.  Signup Genius will send you a reminder a 
day  or so before your event s a reminder.

I just learned that, as part of our new website, my church is going to use 
something called sign-up genius when people are being asked to sign up for 
things such as helping out with programs at Cetera. I gather it is fairly 
widely used, but I have never run across it. Does anyone have experience with 
it using a Mac or an eye device? How accessible is it or not? And how usable is 
it or not? One of the things that gives me pause about this tool is that it  is 
supposedly real time. So if you are on the page and somebody else's signing up 
for something on the page from a different computer or device, you can 
instantly see that they have signed up. That sounds like a heap of trouble, 
but, hope springs eternal. Any experience?

RE: audio at a live hockey game

[R VanLant]

Thanks, Kevin. Those are good points on the delay.

Subject: RE: audio at a live hockey game

 

Hi.

 

You might be able to find an app to get the hockey game, but the audio will 
probably lag behind the live action.  This is due to the internet relaying the 
audio from the arena to a server somewhere on Earth, and then it’s relayed 
through other servers back to you.  I don’t fully understand why this is the 
case, since VOIP programs like Skype give almost instant communications between 
computers over great distances.

 

Wish I had better news.  If it were me I’d invest a few dollars on an 
inexpensive radio to get the game.  Oh yeah, speaking of getting the game over 
the air, some stations delay the over the air broadcast for at least seven 
seconds, and maybe even more.  I think they do this so if the mics that pick up 
the action in the arena catch one of those words that you don’t use on the 
radio, the station can hit a button to cut the offending word from going over 
the air.  I experienced this at a Kentucky Basketball game.  I had a radio with 
me to hear the game.  The crowd would get excited about something that 
happened, and about fifteen seconds later I’d hear what happened to get them so 
excited.  Some venues have a transmitter that is designed to cover only the 
inside of the arena, and you tune to that frequency to hear the game.

 

Whatever you do, good luck.  You might want to contact either the Avalanche 
team, the arena where they play, or the radio station that broadcasts the game 
and see what’s available.  Who knows.  There may indeed be an app that will do 
exactly what you desire.  I’m just telling you what I’ve experienced.

 

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

 

Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY

audio at a live hockey game

[R VanLant]

Occasionally I go to Colorado Avalanche hockey  games at the big stadium in
Denver.   A blind friend told me that he listens to the game via a live
broadcast on a small AM radio when he goes to the game.  Rather than buying
a little radio, is there an app I can use on my phone to tune into that AM
signal or would I possibly need to see if the AM station puts a feed on a
website?I do not otherwise listen to the radio, so this is probably the
only thing I'd be trying to listen  to.

[R VanLant]

When I am sharing an article or podcast and pull up the screen for sharing
options, what does it mean that, for example, "mail draggable"?  Why would I
want to drag that somewhere as opposed to just tap my selection?   Is this
to rearrange the icons on that screen?

low vision users - what video magnifier apps do you like?

[R VanLant]

I have a handheld video magnifier from HIMS Inc.  I especially appreciate
being able to reverse the contrast to light text on a dark background.  I
had tried a couple magnifier apps on my old iphone 4 with limited
satisfaction.  I see an app in the app store called Visor and I think I
heard it referenced on a podcast, but I do not recall the reviews.  Any
strong recommendations here of an app that is pretty comparable to a hand
held video magnifier?

sensitivity of phone going to speaker

[R VanLant]

I do not think it is my imagination that my iPhone 6s, which  I got a couple
month ago, has a much higher sensitivity for going to speaker phone if I
even slightly move the phone from my ear or the lower part of the phone from
my cheek.  It's rather annoying and was giving me problems hearing a call
tonight because I was trying to move the phone away from my mouth a bit to
tell my kids to bbe quiet and then the phone would  go over to speaker.  I
was on an  iphone 4 before this.  Does anyone else notice this?  Is there a
way to change this sensitivity?  I suppose I'm normally using ear buds on
calls, but I broke mine this morning.

best way to check Verizon data usage

[R VanLant]

For the first time in the 3 years I've had an iPhone, I got a text from
Verizon saying I'd used 75% of my data for this period.  So glad to know
I'll get such a warning.  Now that I'm obviously starting to use my phone
more, what is the easiest way to monitor data usage for the current payment
cycle?  If my husband gets a phone too and we are on the same shared data
plan, does  your recommended method change?

RE: Pilates or yoga apps?

[R VanLant]

This sounds good.  I’ll give it a look.

Hello there!  You may want to take a look at the BlindAlive.com website.  They 
have Pilates Level 1 and Level 2 workouts.  The woman who started this 
movement, is blind, so all exercises or fully accessable.  You can buy workouts 
via download and/or physical CDs.  Exercises or explain in full detail right on 
the website.  You can listen to the exercises, and practice them before your 
workout arrives.  I was so excited, I ordered every physical CD, which is 
cheaper than getting a gym membership and or signing up with one of the local 
groups around here for exercise.  I encourage any blind person who is looking 
to get healthy or stay fit, to check out that website.  Hope this helps.

seem pretty inaccessible.  One seems to hold some promise, but I have to do in 
app purchses to get the actual videos, which I have not done yet.  Any luck 
finding free or low cost workout resources that seem accessible?  I’d most 
prefer pilates, having done a pilates class in the past.  I’m not into 
aerobics, just core strengthening.

RE: sensitivity of phone going to speaker

I’ll try cleaning the screen.  I have a case, but it does not cover the screen.

No, you can’t adjust that and I don’t find it any different on my 6S Plus. I 
also don’t recall anybody posting anything about this in a long time.

 

Do you use a case? There is always a slight chance that a case could trigger 
the proximity sensor, also make sure you clean your screen from time to time.

I do not think it is my imagination that my iPhone 6s, which  I got a couple 
month ago, has a much higher sensitivity for going to speaker phone if I even 
slightly move the phone from my ear or the lower part of the phone from my 
cheek.  It’s rather annoying and was giving me problems hearing a call tonight 
because I was trying to move the phone away from my mouth a bit to tell my kids 
to bbe quiet and then the phone would  go over to speaker.  I was on an  iphone 
4 before this.  Does anyone else notice this?  Is there a way to change this 
sensitivity?  I suppose I’m normally using ear buds on calls, but I broke mine 
this morning.

Sounds like you enable the speak screen feature. There should be a way to turn 
it off in settings. I think it's under settings/speech. I remember accidentally 
enabling that at some point, too. I believe it was Jonathan Mosen, but someone 
did a podcast on this feature. It was really awesome!

bluetooth earpieces - not losing them

[R VanLant]

I have been sticking to the apple earbuds that come with our phones for the
last 3 years.  Generally speaking, I like how they fit in my ears, the
remote control feature, that they don't have to be charged, and, and this
may sound funny, I like that they are either attached to my phone or the
cord is long enough  that I don't really lose them.  However, I am forever
untying knots in them as they get twisted in my purse or in my pockets.  One
coworker suggested getting a pair of headphone that has a cord wrapped in a
heavier material that doesn't knot as easily.  I've had some of these
earphones in the past and they still do get twisted up.  That means that the
next logical step, unless I'm missing a good option out there, is to go with
Bluetooth earphones of some sort.  But my fear as a blind person is that I
will lose them since I imagine them to be small.  I do not want to be
wearing them every hour I'm awake.  I have visions of the thing falling off
my head or off my desk or into the bottom of my purse.  Can some of  you
alleviate my concerns and tell me what the experience is really like or what
other options you've chosen to get rid of the forever tangling Apple
earbuds?   Secondarily, is it expected that you need to charge them each
night?

"Where to Go" dog relief area app issue

[R VanLant]

Hi,

Is anyone here using the "Where to Go" app that tells you dog relief areas
in airports?  I downloaded it yesterday for the first time.  Whenever I
click on an airport name to show the relief area for that airport, the app
hangs for a second then takes me to my phone's home screen.  The app is
still in the app switcher, but it did not load the airport information.  Is
this just me?   I thought I read about this in a book a couple years ago,
but this is my first time trying it.

RE: $0.79 iPhone 5c's at Wal-Mart, with 2-year contract

[R Van Lant]

When the 5 came out, Verizon offered the 4 for free and $99 for the 4S.

Why are you guessing this will be the case Sieghard? Are you thinking 
that when the iPhone 6 comes out, the 5s will become free with a 
contract? If so, I don't think this was the case in the past. My memory 
may be failing me, but I think the previous generation of the iPhone 
became something like $99 with a new contract once the new iPhone came out.

 Hi,

 79 cents for an iPhone 5c isn't bad. 5s's are $79.00.

 Sending this on in case someone might be interested. Heard it on the
 news today

 I understand contracts are available with a variety of carriers, so
 there might be a low-cost option suitable for some.

Anyone else using KeyBank app?

[R Van Lant]

Looking for anyone else who is a KeyBank client and using the app.  I like
it's simplicity in many ways, but I'm a bit confused by some things
happening as I peruse the screen with my finger, such as while entering a
transfer between accounts.  If I were on a desktop, I would perceive the
issue as some sort of flyover menues, but I don't know if that's what's
happening.  I'll try to get a trusted, sighted person to look at it with me
to see if he or she can tell me the screen layout.  

 

.  I work for KeyBank and want to give the app development team some helpful
feedback and don't want to be passing along any of my personal inadequacies
as a VoiceOver user, as opposed to true app issues.

My bank's app doesn't seem to read the buttons well on function to deposit
checks using the camera and the app.   I think that can be fixed, but

dialing 9-1-1

[R Van Lant]

I'm on iPhone 4 with IOS 7.  My phone is also password protected.   The
other day my husband and I were on the highway following a driver who was
all over the road and almost itting the walls.  I wanted to call 9-1-1
before we lost sight of the driver.  I tried using voice dialing by saying
call 9 1 1 and dial 9 1 1.  Both  came back with no match found' .  I
then hit the emergency button on the password screen, but nothing happened.
This has been my greatest fear in having an iPhone that I cannot dial for
emergency help when needed.  What did I do wrong and how would I dial in the
future without having to enter my password, launch the phone app, and dial
on the keypad - which isn't easy when your hands are shaking!

RE: dialing 9-1-1

[R Van Lant]

That’s the trick – you can’t really test any options until it’s needed!  I also 
though about putting 9-1-1 in my favorites.  Presumable I’d be albe to then use 
the basic voice dialing to sall “Call 9 1 1”, bbut how would I test itt really 
works!  I think I’ll also explore the apps and maybe stop by the apple store 
sometime.

Hi,

 

There’s an app called Call911. I understand this app wwill call 911 once the 
app is launched with a shake of the phone, if that setting is selected.

 

So, one should be able to call 911 as follows, if you’re phone has Siri, in the 
following way.

 

First, tell Siri, Open Call911.

 

Once opened, shake the phone.

 

I don’t know if this works in this manner. I have the app and have the shake 
setting enabled. I haven’t tested it, though, as I don’t want to get in trouble 
with the authorities by calling 911 in an non-emergency situation. I’m waiting 
until I run across a law enforcement official, posing to them the 
circumstances, and asking if they’ll let me try this.

RE: very bad fb app update

I’m still on IOS 7 on my iPhone 4, so I assumed that was part of my issue.  I 
noticed that with the newest update it takes two swipes to get past each news 
story.  It’s very  sensitive and it’s hard to get through the posts and has a 
significant delay.  Definitely was a step backward when I  upgraded Facebook.

upgrading from iphone 4 to ?

[R Van Lant]

I'm on an iPhone 4 I got for free from  Verizon 2.5 years ago.  If I haven't
delayed too long, Verizon has offered me another upgrade and I'm trying to
decide what to do.  I can pay 99 cents for a 5c or $99..00 for a 5s.  I do
not know what it would cost me to dgo to a 6, but I will ask.   I'm not a
power user like many of you, but I do use several apps, especially mail,
BARD, Kindle and some kids games.  I'm not one for buying a phone at full
price, so trying to make a cost effective decision.

 

I'm trying to read the differences in the 5c and 5s.  They key feature I
have found that interests me is the fingerprint reader on the 5s and my
company requires me to password protect my phone and I find this annoying.  

Do both models include Siri?  I'll post separately to ask about using Siri
as this will be a new thing for me.  

 

Any other advice here on these models before I make a decision?

My Local TV app

Is anyone still using the MY Local TV app to get local TV news?  I found
out about it from  someone on this list and really liked the very accessible
format.  However, when I open it now, I'm not getting news stories and I
cannot tell if the app is no longer work or if there are just no news
stations in Denver linked to this anymore.  If I search  for a local station
by Denver, nothing comes up.  

 

Any replacement apps?  I've tried getting apps directly from 2 of our news
stations here, but neither are very accessible.  I can keep trying.

Hi Robin,

 

You definitely want to get at least the 5S, it has a 64 Bit CPU and, as you 
said, Touch Id. Alex is of course correct in saying that the 5S will most 
likely be the free phone when the new models come out in September, that is 
actually only just over 4 months away since the Apple Event is usually in the 
first two weeks of September and new phones start shipping shortly after that. 
You may even see the 5S on sale at no cost with contract before then as 
resellers are trying to clear inventory.

 

By the way, Touch Id works great and if you have to password protect your phone 
you’ll love it. I find it easier and faster to unlock my 5S with my fingerprint 
than to wake up the phone, find the unlock button and double tap it.

Sieghard

Yes, both have Siri. The camera on the 5S is better, if OCR is something you 
do, and the processor is better. The iPhone 6, by the way, will start at $199 
if the pricing is the same as usual.

 

You might consider waiting a few more months, though. By October, the newest 
iPhones will be out; even if you don't want one of those, that should drive the 
prices down, letting you get the 5S for 99 cents or the 6 for $99. I know it's 
a ways off, but if you've gone over two years already, what's six more months? 
Who knows, the big features of the next iPhone might convince you to buy the 
newest one.

RE: recommended app for podcasts

[R Van Lant]

Question on this thread…  I haven’t subscribed to podcasts in years and  not 
since doing so with Juice on my laptop.  I was looking at a podcast tonight and 
saw they  offer subscription.  I was presented with a link to iTunes.  Does 
this mean that I could use iTunes on my phone to catch the podcasts or do I 
need one of the apps you’ve all been talking about here?  I’m still on IOS 7 on 
an iphone 4, so I do not have the native app someone mentioned.  Just trying to 
wrap my head around podcasts now since I haven’t done it in years and really 
want to listen to this particular one. 

 

Thanks.

Robin

In the RSSRadio app, the reason they don’t recommend streaming is that the DSP 
(Digital Signal/Sound  Processing) effects cannot kick in when an undownloaded 
episode is streaming. But you don’t have to have them on, and, other than that, 
you can still increase the listening speed if desired and the episode plays 
fine. DSP includes ‘silence skip’.

There is another good app, and it’s called RSSRadio. The fre version does 
everything the pay version does, except you pay so as to remove the ads 
once-and-for-all. It has everything one would reqauire in a pod-catcher. It 
will stream podcasts if you want it to (although that isn’t recommended on iOS, 
for fairly obvious reasons).

RE: extra plug adapter

[R Van Lant]

I'm so glad this topic came up because I am having some charging issues.   I 
have a couple clarifying questions.  Looking at the Anker desktop model on  
Amazon, I was reassured that this device supports Apple products.  Based on an 
earlier comment in this thread, that was a concern.  The particular model I 
pulled up in my search noted that there was a newer model that supports Iphone 
6.  I am still on an iPhone 4.  Do I need to factor this in when selecting a 
USB device charger?  I will upgrade my phone at some point this year and do not 
want my charger to be obsolete, if possible.   Also, does it matter what W 
value is in the product description?  On this particular search, it referenced 
a 40W desktop model and an 18W wall charger.   

Finally, if the issue is actually with my cord, what is the most economical way 
to replace it?  I accidentally broke my spare in a vacuuming accident. grin

Hi Fazil,

I was going to send this directly to you since it's not exactly iOS related, 
but then I thought others on the list might find it useful if they want to post 
a long link especially since from time to time somebody posts something where 
the link gets wrapped to multiple lines, spaces are inserted and so on.
Shortened URL's are also useful if you want to post a long URL to Twitter or 
other site where messages are restricted to a certain number of characters.

URL shorteners work by creating a so-called 301 redirect which links a long 
webpage URL to a shortened version which is created by the URL shortener.

There are several URL shorteners out there, Tiny URL, Google and Bitly are just 
3 of the more popular ones. They basically work the same way, you go to their 
respective websites, find the edit box where you paste your long link which of 
course you first have to copy to your clipboard, then there is a button to 
shorten it. The result is then displayed, you can copy it to your clipboard 
again and paste it into an email or post. The websites for the 3 services I 
mentioned are as follows:

Google: http://goo.gl
TinyURL: http://www.TinyURL.com
Bitly: http://www.Bitley.com


Good luck,
Sieghard

Hi Fazil,

I agree with Allen regarding Anker products. They seem to be well-made and get 
very high ratings on Amazon across their product range of external batteries, 
cables or travel and car chargers.
I also have their 2-port model which is plugged in behind the bed so my wife 
and I can have our iPhones plugged in at the same time and it works as it 
should.
Since you are in Canada, below are direct links for Amazon.ca for their 
Dual-port and 4-port travel chargers and also for the 5-port family/desktop 
charger. The first two are just plugs without any cables which plug directly 
into an outlet just like the Apple USB wall plug. The 5-port desktop charger 
has a cable so it can sit on a desk or table where it's accessible and you plug 
it in to the wall outlet nearby with the cable. Since the Amazon links were 
quite long and would have most likely wrapped over multiple lines which 
sometimes makes them not work, I used the Google URL shortener to avoid this:

Technology

Battery pack - accessiblilty

[R Van Lant]

I'm curious.  How do you all know if your battery pack has enough juice in it 
or is done charging?  I got one on a whim and, while I can just see the little 
lights that indicate the power level in the pack, I'm guessing I'll need a 
different battery pack when I eventually upgrade my phone and wonder how you 
handle this.  It was totally by fluke that mine has really bright little lights 
that I can get into my tunnel vision, but if the lights were red or some other 
kind of indicator, I don't think I could figure it out.

RE: Battery pack - accessiblilty

So Alan,

With your battery pack, do you just go by recalling how many times you have 
charged your phone and recharge the pack after that, or do you have another 
method for knowing when to plug your pack back into the AC.

I have the Anker Astro E1 5200mAh Ultra and like many of the smaller Anker 
external batteries, this one uses a series of four blue LED lights to indicate 
its charging status. Although this approach is not at all accessible, all you 
have to do is find out the charging time for a full cycle and keep track of how 
long you've had the external battery plugged in. It will charge faster when 
connected to an adapter plugged into a wall outlet as opposed to a computer's 
USB port. The nice thing about these Anker models is that when they are fully 
charged, they will automatically shut down. They also automatically turn on 
when your device is connected to them for charging.

The update to KNFB Reader for the iPhone is out.  It does correct the issues 
that caused it not to recognize text and lock-up on the iPhone 6S.

Look in the app store for the update, I think it is version 2.6.

Arnold, I use the I phone 5S and like you, have not always found the two finger

Hi everyone,
I am running iOS 9.02 on my iPhone 6 Plus. When I try to use to finger 
double tap to hang up a phone call, it also starts my 00 tunes app or my 
tune in radio app which ever I have used last. Then, two finger double tap 
will not turn off the ooTunes or the tune in radio. Is anyone else having 
this problem? Is there anything I can do about it?

bluetooth - should it pair automatcially?

[R Van Lant]

I have a small Bluetooth speaker and a Bluetooth keyboard.  I find I'm not
using them as much because I don't want to have to go into settings and pair
them each time.  Even if I have Bluetooth on, I find I have to  go into
settings, tap on the item I want in the 'now discoverable" list, and pair
that way.  My coworkers today said their phones pair automatically with
their speakers.  I'm on an iPhone 4 still running IOS 7 dot something.
Could it be my old phone?  Does anyone recall?   When I upgrade should I
simply be able to turn on my keyboard and have it pair right away?

RE: is the bigger screen on the iphone worth the money?

[R Van Lant]

Thanks all for your input.  I was rather hoping you'd all come back and say 
it's not worth it to buy the bigger screen so that I didn't have to waffle on 
my choice!  I don't currently use Braille input as I'm still a novice at 
Braille, but I might be inclined to try it as a faster typing method.  I 
occasionally use my phone one handed, so that is something to consider, but I 
just heard about a local company here who makes a little attachment for the 
back of your phone that allows you to hold the phone more securely with one 
hand.  My coworker has a 6 plus and just ordered one of these attachments 
because he mostly uses his phone one handed.  I'll send his feedback when he 
gets it. 

Back to my debate on cost versus features for my next upgrade!

There's no way I'm going to get a 6+ or 6+S. I carry my 4S on my belt now, and 
I really enjoy doing so; I can use my phone and came quite well at the same 
time with the belt clip to hold my phone steady, and not have to hold the phone 
in one hand and try to do gestures on the touch screen with that hand while 
walking. I'm a slender woman, and I feel like trying to carry the 6+ or 6+S in 
this manner wouldn't be very fun. Also, if I'm just standing around, I like to 
use my phone in one hand. I don't think I could do this comfortably with the 6+ 
or 6+S.

RE: Drop Box and music

Before I start loading music files onto my phone, is there a reason you are 
using Dropbox over loading them through ITunes?  Just curious as  a novice.

group distribution in native email account

[R Van Lant]

With some regularity I need to forward information to a large group of people.  
I added each of the contacts to  my Outlook 2010 address book on my laptop and 
then added them to a contact group.  I can send emails to this group when on my 
laptop.  While the individuals show up in my contacts on my phone, the group I 
created does not - or at least I'm not finding it.  On vacation without my 
laptop, I added all 30 people one by one to the message I needed to forward.  
Please tell me there is an easier way?  A google search on the topic gave me a 
recommendation of some contacts app that would aide in this, but I'd rather 
know if there is a way with my existing native contacts and email. Maybe 
downloading the Outlook app is what I need to do?

One possible correction, the current version of the app may not create the 
group in your contacts, but you can forward your email, double tap in the 
message body, select all, then copy, then go to the A2Z app and paste that into 
the message body of the email to your group.
Either way it is easier than what you have to do now.

Another idea I have, but haven't gotten to testing is whether I can create a 
group in my online msn account that would then be available on my phone.  I do 
not currently sync Outlook through itunes.  I just have the settings on my 
iphone set to sync mail and contacts.  For my work email account, which I also 
have synching to my iphone, I now realize that it pulls in my work contacts but 
not the several contact groups. Maybe I'll leverage the IT support team at my 
company to find the answer to this.

I just did some more testing by creating a new contact group using the A2Z
Contacts app. When I synced my iPhone 7 using iTunes, I noted that this new
contact group shows up as a new Contact folder within Outlook but that
folder is empty and I don't get any usable new contact group for use within
Outlook. Apparently, the way the app currently works with Outlook you'll
have to create contact groups twice, once in Outlook and once in the app,
for contact groups to truly be in sync. This seems a real shortcoming and
I'm scratching my head as to why it wasn't addressed.

Re: Best Practice to not Hijack Threads was Re: best practices for managing contacts across iphone and laptops

[R Van Lant]

Thanks, Alan, for explaining what I had unknowingly done with the hijack and 
for your input to my question.  I didn't realize about the hidden links so 
thougth this was a good way to grab the group email address since I'd lost it 
in my contacts.

I can't answer your question but I'd kindly ask you to please not reply to an 
existing message and then delete the subject and message body as if you were 
starting a new thread. This is called thread hijacking and though it might 
appear to you as if you've started a new post, there are hidden links to the 
previous thread that ties your new subject post to it. However, those of us who 
read this list by thread will see your subject but the other five messages in 
the thread will be about the subject you hijacked.

I noticed that you hijacked two different threads and wanted to explain this so 
you could avoid it in the future.

To start a new thread, you need to create a brand new message as opposed to 
replying to an existing one and deleting its content.

Thanks.

Outlook app versus native mail app

I am quite comfortable and happy with the native email app.  Does the 
Outlook mail app provide any advantages?  I was thinking of maybe trying 
it with this email address, which I currently don't have on my phone 
because of the traffic on this group.  On my home pc, I prefer to read

Do you have the keypad on the screen? If so you have to first hide the keypad, 
the hide button is at the bottom right, if you can find the End Call button 
above the home buton you just have to swipe right once from there.
Once the keyboard is hidden the mute button is the top button, here is the 
bottons that are present, keep in mind that at the very top is the name or 
number of who you are calling followed by the call duration timer:

Mute
Keypad
Speaker
Add Call
Facetime Video
Contacts
End Call

Interestingly enough when I just did a test call to a regular toll free phone 
number the Facetime Video button was not showing as dimmed or unavailable, but 
obviously it wasn't working and when I tapped it I was kicked back to the 
keypad showing on the screen.

Thank you.  I thought it looked like it might be similar to a feature  in

Subject: RE: what is the Item chooser

Yes, it will pull all elements on a screen whether icons, buttons or links into 
a listview. You can easily try it out by doing a 2-finger triple tap on your 
home screen, if your home screen is filled with apps, e.g. 6 rows with 4 apps = 
24 apps and you have 4 apps in the dock the item chooser will contain all of 
these 28 apps and display them in alphabetical order. There is a search box at 
the top and you can also use it on a web page. I think it would be awesome if 
Apple would do something where you can use the item chooser to bring up all 
things on a webpage and then if there were buttons or something like that at 
the top which would let you filter these items by links, headings, buttons, 
form fields etc. This would essentially give you the same functionality as you 
have with Jaws keystrokes like Jaws Key+F7 to bring up all links on a website.

Sieghard

it alphabetizes everything on the screen.
It only stays that way while it is activated.

Anna has provided the settings below to turn the speak screen feature on and 
off and I thought I'd provide the gesture to begin the speaking. With the 
feature turned on, placing focus on the topline status bar on something like 
time followed by a two finger swipe down will place the speech bar smack in the 
middle of the screen and start speech. The speech bar covers most of the screen 
from left to right and is about half an inch tall. It contains a number of 
controls and has an X in its upper right corner to exit it. Jonathan Mosen did 
a podcast explaining the speak screen feature a couple of years ago.

Hi,

The only way I know to turn on the speaking bar or turn it off for good is to 
go to settings/General/Accessibility/Speech and use the Speak Screen toggle. 
The speak screen feature can be useful for reading books in iBooks with the 
screen locked, but the speaking bar can definitely get in the way the rest of 
the time.

If Speak Screen is on, you can start reading the screen with the controls on 
the speaking bar or ask Siri to read the screen. If you're in iBooks at the 
time, you can lock the screen once the page starts reading. Use the speech 
screen in Accessibility Settings to set the voice and speaking rate for this 
feature.

Best,
Anna

RE: Questions about Uber

[R Van Lant]

Around here in Boulder, Colorado area, people typically love dogs, so I have 
had no issues with Uber or Lyft.  My new guide dog is small so she fits on the 
floor, but my last dog was large.  I took a lightweight sheet that I could 
cover the seat next to me with, which drivers seemed to appreciate.  I have not 
travelled in rain or snow yet, when the dog would presumably be wet.  

When I travelled to Los Angeles and needed rides to and from the airport there, 
I called the driver once he was assigned to me and let him know, largely 
because the driver's names looked Middle Eastern and I was honestly more 
concerned about a Muslim driver claiming he couldn't take us.  The driver had 
no issue, so we were on our way.

RE: Blind Square price?

Thanks for mentioning the menus.  I did not know that was a function in Blind 
Square.  

After getting disoriented on a walk with my new guide dog yesterday, I'm even

Anyone tried the Envision Eli QR label reading system?

[R Van Lant]

I just finished an article in Dialogue magazine about an app called Envision 
Eli for iOS and Android.  The app is free and the user purchases 100 QR labels

As a follow on question, I'm trying to think how I would use it.  It seems I've

these QR labels for things that either don't have bar codes on them or for  
which I want to include a longer message - say cooking instructions.

Thoughts?

RE: Anyone tried the Envision Eli QR label reading system?

[R Van Lant]

Hi,

Glad to hear you’ve had some good success, Peggy.

Richard, I am on an iphone 6S.  I really haven’t used a bar code reader, 
although I just found I have Digit Eyes on my phone and just downloaded Seeing 
AI.  Till now, I have tended to use Tap Tap See to identify canned goods.  On a 
podcast I just listened to from Mosen consulting, Jonathan Mosen made it sound 
like Digit Eyes is fading away.  I do not recall if I bought the app, which 
concerns me if it’s no longer being maintained.  In light of the bar code 
reader in Seeing AI, maybe I won’t need Digit Eyes.  So many choices and I just 
haven’t worked my way to learning them.

I've not used this app, but many bar codes already contain cooking instructions.
What app are you using for bar codes now?
Which device do you have?

RE: Emailing photos from my camera roll

[R Van Lant]

If you pull up the camera roll and double top on the photo you want to open it, 
a button should appear at the bottom for Share.  I typically find it really 
easy to email them,.  I have not tried moving them to Drop Box.  Once the share 
menu opens, you can simply select mail and it will open a new email message 
with the picture attached.  Then, all you are doing is addressing the email as 
you normally would and kitting send.  Of course, you can add a subject and text 
to your message, but that’s not necessary.  You will surely also get a pop-up 
telling you the that picture size is to large and you’ll have the option of 
what size picture to send.  If I know I want to give someone a higher 
resolution photo, I’ll pick large, but if I’m just sending a picture for 
someone to see something, I will select small.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Emailing photos from my camera roll


I have several photos in my camera roll which I need to email.  If I have a 
choice, I would rather dump them into my Dropbox  and then email with my 
windows 10 computer.  If this is possible, please tell me how to do it as I 
have done almost nothing with photos in the past.  I did make sure that any 
pictures I do not wish to send have been deleted.


If I must attach the photos to an email message rather than dumping them into 
Dropbox, please tell me step by step how to do so.  I have sent emails from my 
iPhone 6 running IOS 10.3.3; just didn't have to mess with photos.  And if I 
didn't ask previously, which is easier, sending directly from the iPhone, or 
dumping initially into Dropbox.


Thanks.

RE: Removing someone marked as VIP in native mail app?

Open the Mail app and make sure you are all the way backed out to you rlist of 
folders.
You should have a VIP folder and if you swipe right once it will say “More Info 
for VIP”. Double tap on this.
Here you see a list of all your contacts who are VIP’s, if you want to delete 
one of them just make sure focus is on that contact and swipe down or up with 
one finger to the “delete” rotor option, then double tap and that contact will 
be removed.
If you go to “Add VIP which is not announced as a button or a link you can 
double tap and it will bring up your contacts and you can select somebody to be 
added.
At the very bottom you find “VIP Alerts” which takes you to the notification 
centre settings for Mail and right into the VIP mailbox/area.

Sieghard

Hi,
I accidentally flag one of my coworker’s as a VIP so that her mail now shows up 
in the VIP folder in the mail app and I got notified of incoming emails, even 
though I don’t want notifications.  I have no idea how I accidentally did this 
and so I cannot figure out how to unflag her.  Any ideas?

Hi Janet, 



Good day to you. The nul  issue is a current bug that Apple are
aware of. 



The work around is to close and reopen the app after having deleted
the message. 



I do agree it's highly annoying and a productivity drain. (
Specially if one gets a multitude of  in coming conversations. 



Quite frankly I'm baffled how they didn't address this bug earlier
during the beta period.
