Re: accessible Bible app

[John Diakogeorgiou]

I like the UVersion because it lets you do a lot of bible plans. The
reader is also really good that reads the NIV which if you sign up for
emails will be available free a couple of times a year.

Re: StandScan Pro is broken.

[John Diakogeorgiou]

I have one of the newer versions and am not very impressed. For one
thing  the wire on the 9v batter pack looks like its going to come off
very quickly. Also the cardboard is not very thick. If this is
improved the older ones must have been quite flimsy. It does hold
together quite well though but one of the sides was a bit bent. I
think the concept is good but better materials would be a good idea.

Re: ok to upgrade navigon?

Hi:
The repeat instruction was there a while back. It was a nice addition.
The only change made today was with how a Bluetooth connection works
in a car. Otherwise the program works fine.

not with other phones out there.

Re: BeMyEyes: A ground braking product I'm a part of

[John Diakogeorgiou]

Hi:
Hi:
Their are people who don't have access to family or friends that can
help them sometimes. However the technology already exists to do what
is being proposed. The idea of using volunteers and Skype or facetime
has more potential. If people are concerned with privacy and not
giving away their info all they need to do is set up accounts in Skype
or email that they don't care about.

hourly weather and 7 day forecast as to the benefits of a separate app
other than for emergency alerts. Thanks!

Re: Kindle App Question

[John Diakogeorgiou]

When you read the book it downloads but the book is always in the
cloud. If you really want a copy that you can keep you can always get
the Kindle app for the PC and download a book on to the  PC.

Re: downloading kendal books to IPhone?

[John Diakogeorgiou]

You buy them on Amazon.com using your pc. They will show up in the
list of books you own on the IPhone. To read them double tap. This
will cause it to download on to the IPhone. Then you can start
reading.

Actually they don't download automatically. You need to ask them to download.

Re: Kindle App Question

[John Diakogeorgiou]

Sorry for the misunderstanding. You can read without a connection as
long as you have downloaded the book to the Kindle in advance. When I
say it's always in the cloud I meant that you don't have to worry
about losing the book if something happens to the device its on.

How about if I want to do this in ITunes on the computer. I have three

Re: app I came across

[John Diakogeorgiou]

I find that the app works well in the morning but not evening. Within
fiction and nonfiction their are many subcategories. I've downloaded
at least 10 books. Yes the ads are annoying and I'd love to find a
better app but it's better than nothing.

Tune In Radio

[John Diakogeorgiou]

Hi:
 An update to Tune In Radio came out today. I tested it and was able
to perform a search by country, type of music, and a search. I was
also able to add a couple of stations to my favorites and then go into
favorites and choose one.

Re: Announcing the Seeing Eye GPS app free preview, new 2013 Sendero products, and remote CSUN access!

Hi:
The users guide doesn't say whether the maps are on the phone or not.
I would like to know the answer to that as well. Also I haven't heard
anything about when the app will be released.

Re: Announcing the Seeing Eye GPS app free preview, new 2013 Sendero products, and remote CSUN access!

[John Diakogeorgiou]

One thing which needs mentioning is that at first only maps for North
America will be available according to the companies web site. I'm
looking forward to testing this product out. I hope that they provide
a demo though.

 The one thing to keep in mind once the price is announced is how much
 is this app worth to some of us. Remember that specific installs for
 the braille note and braille cents products cost more than $600. Also
 remember that many commercial GPS apps for the iPhone itself can cost
 anywhere from $25-$55. I have no idea what the price for this app
 will be, however I do know that once that price is announced if
 people don't like it there will definitely be a lot of vocalization
 from peoples opinions. I only say this because any time and
 accessibility app is announced in that price is more than five
 dollars, people seem to make a big deal over it. I can look through
 the archives and discussions of the access notetaker app,
 blindsquare, Fleksy, Sendero's Look Around app, and the various daisy
 readers Have mostly initially been met with criticism over the price.
 Some people will purchase the app despite the cost because they want
 to support the developer. Others will purchase the app because it is
 worth it to them. And still others might wait for the app to go on
 sale before they make a purchase. My purchasing history shows that
 depending on the app in question I could fall into any of those
 categories. Fleksy and blindsquare were apps which I purchased only
 after they went on sale. Yet voice dream reader and looktel
 recognizer were apps I purchased at full price. And finally, apps
 light digit-eyes and read2go our ones which I have not purchased and
 don't intend to. So my only point in writing this message is to
 remind everyone, including myself, that no matter what the price of a
 new app is, we will have to decide for ourselves if it is really
 worth it to us considering our personal needs and the features
 contained in the app.

 Cheers!

Re: scorby bible app

I don't know his name but the person who reads the NIV Zondervan is
also really good. It's part of Life Church. Every few months they make
the NIV available for download to the phone for free. It's all a
matter of preference though.

Re: iPhone 4S repair solutions

[John Diakogeorgiou]

My niece had the same problem with a Nano. The tech at an Apple store
told me that sometimes you can get a thin piece of metal between the
side and the button and unjam  it. I tried it with hers but had no

Re: Summary of Seeing Eye app presentation at CSUN

android when most visually impaired people use IPhones? Also I thought
I read in the manual that the software has a choice of three sets of

Re: new IPhone user with some questions

[John Diakogeorgiou]

Troy:
Their are quite afew good games for the IPhone. I don't use any of the
ones in the game center but if you go to AppleVis you can get a list
of quite a few games. Also I'm not quite sure why people use other
weather apps since the one that is on the phone is quite good.

the included voice read the book for you or you can use the IPhohone
voice and read it as text.

Re: Voice Dream Reader 2.72

[John Diakogeorgiou]

The only voice which is free is Heather. Any other voice you want
costs either $1.99 or $2.99. You can read any Word file, PDF, HTML and
of course BookShare. What was really neat about reading a Word file is
that if a phone number is in it the program recognizes it as such and
lets you dial it.

Re: too many apps in a folder?

Re: YouVersion question.

[John Diakogeorgiou]

I am not only because I have them on my phone.  However, the company
said that after the latest update people have been havingg probllemms
with the program. They recommend uninstalling and reinstalling it to
solve the problem. The only issue this causes is that if you have
downloaded one of these bibles you will lose it till they offer it as
a free download again.

Re: book share and voice dream questions.

The voice which comes  with the program is Heatther. She is quite

Re: YouVersion question.

[John Diakogeorgiou]

Hi:
I have the same problem on the main page. You need to tap around a bit
till you find what you are looking for. Once you choose Bible, Plans,
etc. the program works very well. It's one of those things which would
be nice to fix but the program is wel worth the tapping around.

Re: An important suggestion for anyone contemplating buying the StandScan Pro!

[John Diakogeorgiou]

I tried to order the ScanPro over the weekend. I didn't find the 12v
battery holder anywhere on their page. Just the wall adapter. I also
didn't order because their page didn't link to PayPal properly. I will
probably contact the manufacturer regarding the lighting before I make
the purchase at this point. Thanks a bunch for the product review. It
may almost make my Optacon obsolete which I hope it does since my
finger doesn't read as well as it once did.

Re: An important suggestion for anyone contemplating buying the StandScan Pro!

[John Diakogeorgiou]

It said the page wasn't available. I have not tried since. As far as a
12v battery kit I would need to see the contacts irst. It's possible
that you can get a 12v battey and clip it onto the unit. This kind of
causes you to lose the portability though.

Thanks to the person who took the inniciative to do this. I tried to
order the product over the weekend and their web site could not
connect me to PayPal. I was able to place an order on their site
today. I'm not sure why they are including the 9v battery pack for
free since it already came with it that way. I am looking forward to
receiving it. It almost makes the Optacon obsolete.

Re: Attention: Standscan Pro discount code and bonus

[John Diakogeorgiou]

If I understand one of the posts correctly they are giving one of the
adapters away for free. That would explain why they gave me a partial
refund after I placed my order. Like others have said many of us have
made purchases after which prices went down i.e. Flexy, Voice Dream.
No big deal.

Re: Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard question - Was Re: Question to Raul

Hi Raul:
Is this a keyboard I should consider. I have been thinking of
purchasing one but haven't done any research yet. Thanks!

 It actually looks pretty good. I was able to scroll to a certain part

 So the only experience I have so far is with the sample text. I
 switched
 between two different voices and it all seems fine. I wonder what the
 catch is or what the limits are considering that it is free. I notice
 that it only has a 3.5 rating in the App Store. Perhaps I should go
 read
 the comments to see what others have said. However based on the initial
 impressions this app does look rather promising.

Re: you version bible app

[John Diakogeorgiou]

Hi:
Use the menu button which is on the top left corner of the screen.
That will bring you to the main menu. Then click on My Plans.
Sometimes it's hard to get the app to read the items on this screen
but it's worth the frustration.

Re: Feed-back re the StandScan Pro? Successes/failures?

[John Diakogeorgiou]

I don't think that I would want a KNFB reader in my pocket either. It
was quite bulky and not very good especially considering the price.
The scan stand is just another option for people. Every one can choose
what works best for them.

Amazon basics question

[John Diakogeorgiou]

Hi:
First the podcast on this keyboard was excellent. Thanks for saving me
a bunch of work. My question is that when I am on an item such as
calendar I would assume that I should press enter to activate it. That
does not work. So how do I do that? Also, the bottom left key is fn. I
am not sure what it does yet though.

Re: Talking Goggles

I haven't tested it with products yet but it does a decent enough job

not perfect, it is helpful enough when no sighted help is around.

Re: Bible apps

[John Diakogeorgiou]

The app refered to is the first one when you do a search for Bible.
the link is https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bible/id282935706?mt=8 and
it will do what you want. It is a good app and resource. Check out
their web site to set up an account and choose bible studies if
interested.

Re: About Shawn's Podcast

[John Diakogeorgiou]

I don't know what Podcast you were listening to but he did not say it
was in public beta. He also told people that if they didn't want to
listen to something which was essentially illegal they should turn it
off. Regardless I'm glad I was given the opportunity to listen to it.
It was very informative.

Re: Terribly SORE index finger!

Hi:
If nothing else works consider the purchase of a BlueTooth keyboard.
They are not to expensive and may help with speed as well. I doubt a
stylus would work as well.

Don't feel bad. I had the same problem as well. I can't remember where
but their is a settings button that you need to choose. Then associate
the account with dropbox by adding your dropbox user name and password
and you will see the additional 1gb immediately. Sorry I can't give

Re: How to transfer itunes library to win7 pc

[John Diakogeorgiou]

Yes that is what you need to do. If you place the files in the
automatic folder it will add folders for each artist and album and cut
off the name of files which are to long. For all it's worth it becomes
a huge mess.

Re: Features of the 5S and 5C

[John Diakogeorgiou]

Karen:
The innards of the 5c are the same as the 5. However they say battery
life is a bit better due to IOS 7. Also because of the new case it
will be $100 cheaper.
As far as the fingerprint sensor I think it's a great idea since we
don't have to type passwords in anymore which anyone could listen to.
The idea of the camera being better for OCR is an interesting idea and
remains to be seen. If I had a 5s I wouldn't consider the upgrade but
since my wife has a three year old 4 I will probably get the new 5s
and giv her my 5 since she doesn't care about technology as much as I
do.

Their are a couple of significant changes that make the new phone

Re: MB versus GIGS, etc.

[John Diakogeorgiou]

Hi:
The phones and the IPads are actually in gigabytes not megabytes. So
they are 16, 32 and 64 gigabytes. If they were 16 megabytes for
example you would only be able to hold 4 or 5 songs on a unit. As to
what size you should get that is really only a question you can answer
(and yes I hate that answer). It depends on what you can afford
though. If you plan to use it for other things than a phone I would
probably go with at least the 32gb version. That way you can hold
several hundred songs as well as books and however many apps you want.
I hope that helps a bit.

Re: Features of the 5S and 5C

The number of megapixels in a camera is not the deciding factor as to
the quality of the picture. How the software renders the picture is
also very important. I was listening to cnet tv yesterday and they
specifically commented on how the pictures coming from the Apple
camera looks better than any other phone regardless of the number of
pixels.

Re: Features of the 5S and 5C

[John Diakogeorgiou]

A couple of comments. First Alan stated that he would get a case with
the new phone. The cases are I think $39.
As I've previously mentioned the finger print scanner is a huge
advantage for blind people in that others will not hear your password
as you type it in. That in and of itself is a huge security advantage.
Finally, one of the podcasts I heard said that he is using IOS 7 on a
4s and it runs well.
