Re: Multiple message we call failure Messages. What is this?

Re: simply audio books
Simply Audio is not in the UK store. Thank you very much Sieghard for your message of warning. Kawal. On 15 Feb 2013, at 05:20 AM ,Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi, I tried their service maybe a year ago or so. You might want to search the archives because there was a bit of a discussion about it at the time. My thought on this is that I feel $25 is pricy, yes, you can read/listen to as many books as you want, but you don't own the books, it's like Netflix where you can stream as many movies as you like except of course Netflix is only $7.99. When I tried the service I started listening to a book I really wanted to read and about half way through I stopped one night and when I tried to pick up where I left off the next day I was informed that the book unfortunately was no longer available. I called customer support and was told that they somehow lost the rights to the book and that this was something that happens from time to time. I much prefer Audible where I can download the book and even if I at one point cancel my membership I still have access to the books I purchased. I buy my Audible credits in batches of 24 which is $229, so approx.. $9.54 or $9.55 a book. As a member I also have access to all their promotions, they just had one again where they offered 200 books for $4.95 a book and I ended up finding 10 books I liked. Just those 2 transactions netted me 34 books for $280 which means I paid $8.24 a book so 3 books at this average would be the same as paying $25 a month for the Simply Audio Books service. I sometimes read more than 3 books a month, but usually I can easily get additional books during one or another promotion from Audible for $5 to $7 and while in the end I might spend $100 or $150 more than what the $25 a month service would cost me, at least I own these books and they add to my growing library of books many of which I will read again at some point.

Re: Trekker GPS App
I'd like to agree with the person who said, that using an IOS device when walking would be difficult. I too rely on the Trekker Breeze when out and about as I too have a guide dog. However if a similar appleacation came out on the I phone and no flicking required then I'd have two options available to me. Kawal.

So we will have two gps solutions to choose from. I thought I'd pass this along to the lists. Kind regards, Kawal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Gallegos Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 10:36 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Announcing the Seeing Eye GPS app free preview, new 2013 Sendero products, and remote CSUN access! 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!

This should really provide very good and up-to-date map and POI information. Maybe we can all have a few less apps on the phone since this one will most likely make some others redundant. I also would imagine that since Seeing-Eye is involved in funding the project that the price for the app maybe more reasonable than we all may think.

Of course, you will need a converter as well as the adaptor because, in North America we use 110-120 volts at 60 cycles and South Africa is 220 volts at, I believe, 50 cycles. Before leaving here, I purchased a 220 to 110 volt converter and it came with 4 or 5 adaptors. One of them definitely fits. I believe its 3 prong. I think 2 round and a flat but I'm not absolutely sure. A set of adaptors is very inexpensive and available anywhere. My adaptors were, from European 2 round prongs to everything else. If you need a converter only for basic appliances, you don't need to purchase the converter for electronics such as a computer. A simple converter for something like a shaver will work and is not very expensive at all.

However, I just did a Google search for What power plugs are used in South Africa and I found the following website: http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity.htm This website describes 14 different plug configurations (from type A through type N) which are used around the world. According to this, Type M is most widely used in South Africa and while it sounds similar to Type E and Type F which are the German standards, I believe it is different. But I am sure you can find an adapter or maybe the Standscan comes with some adapters. I once bought a Skype desktop telephone from a company called Ipevo and it came with about 6 different adapters. It is completely incomprehensible to me why there isn't more standardization. I guess it wouldn't be an easy thing to change something like that, but I'm sure it could be done over time.

Re: Prizmo with StandScan Pro
Thank you very much Anne. I'm ordering mine today. I will also buy Prizmo then. It's going to be great being able to scan anything I get either on the move or not! Kawal.

The StandScan keeps the phone at a fixed position which does not seem to suit SayText. In any case, I've never found SayText to be much good. Prizmo is definitely the best and fastest for me. PerFect OCR is pretty good, too, but takes much longer to do the OCR. I've never tried Text Detective which also has a good reputation.

Opinion on the Focus Blue and any other display.
Hello Everyone. I am selling my Essys in due course (as I've been thinking about it for some time) so am in the market for buying another Braille Display when I can afford it. So, all opinions welcome on what braille displays work well with the Mac and I phone. I am wishing to have opinions on the Focus Blue, and wish to know if this braille display is self cleaning? I want a braille display where I can clean the cells myself without having to send the display away for this service as it can become expensive when you need to have cells clean. Is this so? I'd like to hear good and bad opinions about any display someone might have. I know everyone will have good and bad experiences but I want to know preferably if you can maintain the display, i.e. cleaning the cells yourself as I put lots of cream on my hands to look after them and all these soaps and creams can make the cells dirty and the braille can lose dots because of the dirt.

Re: Opinion on the Focus Blue and any other display.
Hello. Thank you everyone for responding to my questions. I have some more. If one wants to clean the cells on the display, is there something you have to lift to get at lifting the cells up to clean? I am no expert on alcohol as I've never so much poured any in a glass as I do not drink so does anyone know if you can get any kind of solution (like you can get to clean your LED screen with)? so that you spray it on the cloth to clean? Also, how long does the battery last if you use constantly? I am very much decided on getting the Focus Blue now, thanks to all you great people. I like these lists very much and appreciate everyone's opinions. Kawal. On 15 Mar 2013, at 03:09 AM, Sharonda Greenlaw sbgreen...@gmail.com wrote: I have the Focus 40 Blue and I love it!! I can bring all the dots up and use a lightly damp cloth to wipe the cells. I can also excercise the cells—let them go up and down.

Stand Scan Pro Question.
Hello List. I hope to be getting my Stand Scan Pro in a couple of weeks as it was shipped to me last week. However, (forgive me if this has been discussed), as there is a lot of mail and I forget what people have said. Can you keep your phone in the case and use Stand Scan Pro? I have listened to the podcast on Apple Viz as I subscribed to it yesterday using Downcast. Thank you very much.

However, if I call my bank, I am unable to key in numbers such for my account number and other info required so that I can use the automated service as when I bring up the dial pad, the numbers are displayed across rather than a traditional dial pad where you get one two three and then you move down a row and you get four five six you get the picture. Can some one tell me if they have ever been able to key in numbers when you are using skype whilst on another call using it? If not, who to contact to make this feature accessible namely the person who is in charge of making this application more accessible please?

Re: A Skype Query on the I Phone.
Hi Sieghard. Thanks for your full explanation and yes you are right about the dial Pad coming up correctly whilst in a call as I did it just now although I am not fast enough to put in the numbers as I need to practice as I am not use to tapping twice to enter a number as I use touch typing on my I phone. I will look at your e-mail slowly to try and picture what you say when I next use Skype on my I phone and there was no difference in what you said as now for some reason the dial pad is showing correctly. Do you know who to contact if I wish to ask if the numbers can be made like the I phone? Thanks in advance. Kawal.On 5 Sep 2012, at 04:45 PM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Kawal, OK, here is a full explanation of the buttons and how to use them after you initiate a call. I did not include a description of the Contacts tab and the Call Phones tab as they are mostly self-explanatory. I am not sure where you see the numbers displayed straight across, any time I use Skype and bring up the DialPad during a call I get a normal telephone style DialPad. Now, I think you are in the UK and I do remember something about Anne from France having this issue although I can’t remember if it was with Skype or the regular Phone app so I guess this could be something that has to do with the European region settings, but that’s only speculation. After you call your bank and the call has connected, you will have 5 buttons at the bottom of the screen, from left to right they are: Mute Double tap to mute/unmute the call Earpiece Double tap and just above and in the middle you get “Speakerphone” and “Earpiece” options. Double tap on Speakerphone and the call will switch to Speakerphone. At that point the “Earpiece” button in the bottom row is now called “Speakerphone”. Double tap it again and you can choose “Earpiece” above to switch back to the earpiece. Please note that if you use a headset when you start the call the “Earpiece” button is called “Headset” and your options above after double tapping it are “Speakerphone” and “Headset”. Dialpad This will pull up a typical phone style DialPad with 1, 2, 3 at the top, 4, 5, 6 below, 7, 8m 9 below that and * 0 and # which in Skype is called “Hash” at the very bottom. I can’t remember if the DialPad that comes up when you are in a call used to have the letters on it, but if it did they are now gone. However, they are still there on the main DialPad which comes up when you double tap on the “Call Phones” tab. If, for example, you find the “2” and then slide down a tiny bit you will hear “ABC” before you get to the 5. Now, only thing to keep in mind is that the Skype DialPad does not work with the touch typing method so you do have to double tap or split tab on the numbers to dial them. But I did just test this to make sure nothing has changed, I called my Mastercard toll free number, I could easily enter “1” for English and then my 16-digit card number. I find split tapping here works better as it’s a bit faster. Now on to the next button: Show Options This button brings up some options above, “Show Messages” and “Show All Messages”. However, I noticed just today that if you slide your finger up from the “Show Messages” or flick left, Voiceover announces the call duration, then the name of the contact or phone number you dialed and right at the very top or where you can’t flick left any further there is also a “Show Dialpad” button which will bring up the Dialpad. It is, of course, easier to just double tap on the “Dialpad” button, but it’s there. If you double tap “Show Messages”, the call window disappears and you are placed in the messages tab and see all messages related to whoever you are currently calling. If it is a Skype Out number, you would just see all call start/end times and call durations. If it is a Skype contact and you exchanged text messages, you would see those as well. If you double tap on the “Show All Messages” button the active call window disappears and you are placed in the main Messages tab where all your contacts are listed with whom you exchanged messages or placed calls. You can double tab on any of them to see all the details. At the bottom you have 4 tabs, from left to right they are: Contacts This displays all your contacts Messages This will show as “selected” and of course displays all your messages Active Call This will take you back to your active call window where you get back your initial options and can hang up. If you are not in a call this tab is called “Call Phones” My Info Here you can change your Avatar, sign out, type a mood message, see/change your status, go into your profile, see how much Skype credit you have, see the status of your Skype number if you have one and the same for voice messages and call forwarding. At the bottom is the “About Skype” which displays

Re: A Skype Query on the I Phone.
I have written to Apple Accessibility and will wait for their response and will forward to the list. Thanks again Sieghard.

You might want to send an email to accessibil...@apple.com and just ask them why you are not able to use the touch typing method with the Skype DialPad. It would be interesting to see how they explain this. Of course iOS 6 is coming out in about 2 weeks so maybe this will allow for this which would mean a future Skype update then could make use of the touch typing method on the DialPad. As far as sending this to Skype, you can go to the “My Info” tab at the bottom right of the main screen, then at the very bottom of that list tap on “About Skype” and then swipe right until you hear “Send Feedback” and double tap.

But I was a scheptic and waited around. Well, the WIFI died again in front of them so they gave me another phone. Verizon had not a clue and insisted it was my network/router, but being that my Ipad and Ipold were fine and another Iphone was fine, as well as my computers, I figured it wasn't my network.

Google Groups.
Hello All. When I applied for membership to this list again a few days ago, I had to use Google Groups. However, the new Google Groups is impossible to use and I could not do it with either windows or Mac. The site is inaccessible. So now I'm wondering, as this list is on Google Groups, as is the macvisionary list, have moderators complained about the accessibility as I'm sure they would wish people to join rather than not as others may have difficulty in joining. I hope to hear what people say. Kawal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: iPhone 5
Can't the US folks get their I phone 5 or any I phone unlocked and unbranded? I just got my new Nano sim card today. I went into the store which is the store that my mobile provider has and told them the situation about getting the unlocked I phone 5 from the Apple store and they just swapped my sim which I have for the 4S to the new one that will be for the I phone 5. They do not care that I am not buying the I phone 5 from them even though I'm on one of their plans. I just don't want to pay more a month just because I have the privilege of getting the I phone 5 hence once my contract has run out, I stick to the tarrif, but they will not get another penny out of me for me to get another contract as I like paying the low tarrif! Another advantage is that I can go any where in the world and get a local pre paid nano sim and use it without paying extortionate prices. Kawal.

My guess is that the iPhone 4S 16 Gig which will be offered at $99 on contract will be $550 and the iPhone 4 8 Gig which is free with a contract will be $375 which is the same as the 3GS 8 Gig last year.

Well, if I came from a 3GS or 4 I would probably say yes, having a 4S 64 Gig I feel the same as Raul, there are just not enough hardware reasons for me to upgrade at this time. Instead I may actually consider buying an iPod Touch 5 again, this way I can see how I like the larger screen size and now that the iPod Touch gets SIRI and has a 5 MP auto focus back camera which is actually a better camera than even the 4 if I understand this correctly it's definitely worth considering. It would be the device I'd use at home for audio books and other stuff or even for a long flight it would make sense with 40 hours of audio playback.

The receptionist reminded me that I can check to see if I am eligible for an upgrade by doing the following from my iPhone: 1. Open the Phone App. 2. Switch to the Dial Pad. 3. Dial *639# 4.

I don't remember the particulars but something in the agreement that one needed to confirm by placing a checkmark in a box, didn't sound quite right. As it turned out, my refusal to agree to their terms during the online preorder process was a wise decision. Like many of us who continue to enjoy the unlimited data plan that A T T Wireless no longer offers, agreeing to last year's online iPhone 4 S preorder terms automatically updated the data plan to one that did not include unlimited data. Now I cannot speak to preordering from Apple as I have never done so but I can tell you that A T T Wireless would love to remove all of those remaining on the unlimited data plan and will do darn near anything to accomplish this including lacing there agreement with so much legalese that one will simply agree without reading it. In short, when I purchase my iPhone 5, just like last year, I will go into an A T T Wireless corporate store, remove my own SIM card from my current device, and place it in the new device to insure that nothing funky happens with my data plan.

Re: Preordered my iPhone 5!
Hi All. I preordered my black slate 64 GB I phone 5 on Friday 14 September using the I phone Apple store App, and am getting it on 1st October 2012. I notice that everyone in the US who preordered their devices and get theirs on 21st which in my opinion is not fair. I did call Apple to ask if I could get mine from the store but they said they had had a lot of preorders and could not change what I wanted. The reason why I did not want to get mine from the store on 21st figured that I might not be able to get one as people would be crazy, queuing probably from the eary hours of 21st and by the time I got there, I reckon all in the stores would be gone as they will be selling like hot cakes!

Re: Small braille keyboard/displays for iPhone
You can use the Essys as a separate note taker if you want. However when you use the I phone with the braille display, most functions ar done by manipulating the braille display I don't know why you can't use your list of applications through the display of your choice through your I phone. As long as the display is connected via bluetooth to your I phone, all things will work on your I phone. Does that help? Kawal.

You know, useful help. *GRIN* I know that some braille displays are notetakers in and of themselves. That's not really what I need. I need something more along the lines of being able to turn off VoiceOver on my iDevice yet still use it through braille while in a meeting. Does that eliminate any of these devices? I'd also love a display that worked with iPhone apps like Pages, Messages, Notes, Mail, Reminders, my grocery list app, and so on. Does such a thing even exist, or does it all have to be done through the particular braille display's software?

Re: Mark's iOS 6.0 Map App Walking Navigation Extended Results Report
I remember last year when Apple were talking about IOS six, they said that they would not deal in making maps for visually people yet as for now they were going to leave that to third parties. Thanks Mark for your report. I think we just have to wait for a couple more years before Apple do make something reverlutionary for people with all disabilities. I'm sure that Apple are aware that people want something like what we have on the Treker breeze. As a side note, I have noticed a lot of people are selling the Breeze. I think that people are waiting to get these maps to hope that they can use them in the way that Mark wants to use them. They will be disappointed. Good things happen when one is patient. Kind regards, Kawal. P.s. Sorry for the spelling but it's late here and now my mind is beginning not to write sense. On 20 Sep 2012, at 23:35, M. Taylor mk...@ucla.edu wrote: Hello Everyone, NOTE 1: I just returned from over 90 minutes of using the iOS 6.0 Maps App, via VoiceOver, on my iPhone 4 S. I am extremely tired and uncomfortable as today is a particularly hot day here in southern California. Normally, I would post my results after a rest but want to report while the experience is still fresh in my mind. So, if the following comes across as curt, please accept my apology; I just want to get the facts, as I experienced them, to you. NOTE 2: Before heading out the door, I made sure my iPHone reported 100% battery level. I turned my WiFi off and rebooted the phone for good measure. NOTE 3: During the entire experience, my phone reported that I had a 4G connection. This connection was never lost as I live in a part of town that, for better or worse, is replete with A T T Wireless cell towers. NOTE 4: I only experimented with creating and using walking directions, not driving directions. NOTE 5: I did not use any Bluetooth connected accessories but, rather, only the included Apple headset that ships with the 4 S. NOTE 6: My initial positive test results, yesterday, were based on the fact that Siri correctly announced my approach to a street at the beginning of a short route. NOTE 7: While it is not my intention to draw comparisons between the iOS 6.0 Maps App and the Trekker Breeze, I will refer to the Breeze if for no other reason than to informs those who may not know, that such features exist in a GPS solution designed for the blind and low vision. Now that all that is out of the way let's get to it, shall we? 1. I live about a quarter of a mile from the nearest street that is mapped. As a result, when using my current location as the starting point, I could only create a route when standing in a certain position in my driveway. In order to consistently create a route, I had to walk up to the street that is mapped. While this is not a deal breaker, by any means, Trekker can provide off-map guidance. 2. My first experiment was to not create a route but, instead, set tracking to on plus headings and then just walk down the street. While Maps, as I will refer to it from this point forward, reported that I was approaching an intersection, it did not do so consistently. In fact, it inconsistently listed some streets while omitting others. I should also let you know that the accuracy of the street name announcements were dismal, at best. That is to say, as a low vision person, I could see the intersections and compare what I saw to when information was reported. It appeared to me that the longer I walked, the more inaccurate and/or sluggish Maps became. Please note that I conducted some experiments multiple times in order to discern any patterns. NOTE 8: Just in case you're wondering, there were no tall building, clouds, or any kind of obstructions blocking my view of the sky. NOTE 9: The compass, during all my experiments, was dead on. It was perfectly accurate and the most responsive. 3. Next, I created several walking routes. I deliberately chose destinations by which one may only travel in one direction. That is to say, all of the streets, along the route, dead-end into others. To my astonishment, Maps got them all wrong. In one test, the directions were reversed. For example instructing me to turn left when I could only turn right. In another experiment, it listed streets that were simply not there. 4. Whenever I attempted to view the list of directions, which by the way did not dynamically update, tracking would switch to off. This was maddening, to put it nicely. 5. When reporting my current location, compass headings notwithstanding, the only thing Maps consistently got right was the city. Sometimes it reported the correct street but not enough to trust, were I totally blind and in an unfamiliar environment. 6. Even though I have my screen brightness set to only 40%, at the end of the 90 minutes of walking, my battery level was

If using it with Jaws, you don't get keyboard entry from the display and it will only connect to the Microsoft bluetooth stack, so I cannot use it at work. It is more expensive than simelar displays, but in my opinion, if your planning to use it exclusively or predominantly with the iPhone, its well worth it. With the iPhone, I absolutely prefer it over my focus, which also doesn't have a great keyboard, although I don't have the very latest modle. The Connect 12's controls when used with the iPhone are much more ergonomic and much more intuitive than that of the focus. Cheers, Brett.

go into the podcast you want to delete, then press the edit button, and you will see a button which says select all (am doing this from memory) so excuse me if this is not right.

It is really up to us to become beta testers if we want to catch, report, and influence Apple during the final testing / development phase of each iOS development cycle. Considering how small our population is, if we become beta testers at the same percentages as sighted people, only 0.5% of the beta testers are testing for VoiceOver accessibility.

Questions and difficulties on the I phone 5.
Hello All. I haven't been playing long on my I phone 5 and have noticed a few interesting things. I will try and number everything so that my message is as clear as possible. 1. I am able to delete messages swiping down with my left index finger when in Imessage. However, I can't do the same when in mail even though I drag down my index finger as I did in I message. I wonder if some one can help please? 2. When in my inbox, I found VIPS and on my Mac, I had already set up my VIPS and was surprised to see that I had to set up the same again on my I phone. Does any one know why this is so as I thought as I was using the same mail account and it was using Icloud, my VIPS would have synced over the air from my Mac to my I phone. 3. Does any one know if they can now write an I message using their phone number on their I phone but when replying using the Mac, does it go back to the person's phone number rather than an e-mail? I'm just curious. 4. Before in the previous IOS the signature 'sent from my I phone' could be removed but you can't seem to do it in IOS6. Has any one tried removing it? This 'sent from my I phone' gets on my nerves. 5.When reading my fingers up to read a mail, I notice that the focus is not going to the top of the message. Has any one noticed this? 6. How dos one refresh a mail? I know this question was answered but I can't understand it as I did not have a device in front of me and I can find no instructions.

So, this message serves to inform those who on the other side of the fence, may not yet have used Podcast from Apple. Features: Fully automate and configure download parameters for individual podcasts, choose what is downloaded, choose what is kept, e.g. all, unplayed, last x etc. playback speed, half, normal, 1.5x, 2x and 3x adjust display mode, newest at top or oldest at top choose playback order, newest first or oldest first, separate command from above full Apple iTunes selection of podcasts an information. download over 3G or WiFi only. Oh, fully Voice Over usable and by the way, podcasts can be played / controlled with Siri, which is not a feature of Downcast. I think that covers it all, I'm still awaiting something that Downcast can do over this feature set, please do not mention the 5x speed option, surely no-one listens at that speed?

After that all episodes are listed, in fact, they are listed already when you find the Podcast even without subscribing. Anyhow, if you flick right there is a download button after each episode, double tap it and it will download and correctly announce both the amount of data that has downloaded as well as the total size of the download and the download button itself indicates the download percentage. After the episode has downloaded there is a More Info button which has the show notes and you can mark the episode as played in there, you can change the settings for the entire Podcast if you double tap on the Podcast name or the More Info button next to the name. You can turn subscription off for the Podcast here, a feature which I think actually does not exist in Downcast, you can set your auto download options, e.g. keep all unplayed, keep the 2 most recent etc. You can also indicate the sort order, newest first or oldest first and the play order, oldest to newest or newest to oldest. Also you can mark all as played or all as unplayed. I was hoping that you can delete Podcasts with the new single finger flick down gesture and then double tap to confirm, i.e. that the Action rotor option works, but they have not yet added this although I would dare to say that I can't see this being far away. For the time being you can delete in the old way, do a double tap and hold (pass through gesture), then swipe left to right across the Podcast you want to delete and a Confirm Deletion button pops up. This is like you would delete music before the new Action rotor setting was added. In short, it's not so bad any more and I could see that this app after another 2 or 3 updates will definitely be interesting especially if SIRI integration is improved which still seems to be a bit sporatic.

Apple's Podcast.
I am trying Apple's podcast after re-installing it again. However, after installing it, and got it to sync with my Mac so all the podcasts (well the unplayed ones) got synced. So there were a few left which did not. So I tapped the search field and typed in The Archers. Immediately the Voice Over lost focus and then it froze. I then removed all the apps from App switcher and turned the phone off and on. When I went into podcast again I could not see the search button. I want to know what I'm doing wrong if I want to subscribe more podcasts please? Kawal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Small braille keyboard/displays for iPhone
Eric. I use to have the Braille Connect before I sold it. At the time, when using it, I found it very hard to press the braille keys and my fingers ached. Also the braille display was very cold to the touch as it was made of metal. Is it still so? I am now using the Essys as it's better for my fingers. I am getting a braille Note Apex for work and plan to use it with my I phone too as it's the one with the perkins style keyboard rather than the qwerty as Apple do not let you have full control of the I phone.

I find this really good because some podcasts are recorded at quite a low level. Continuous play behaviour can be set on a podcast by podcast basis. When podcasts are behind a username and password, Downcast can log in. If you want the description of an episode, in the Apple app, you have to tap the more info button for each and every episode, whereas Downcast speaks this info right on the screen as you review. And finally, you can engage with the author of Downcast on Twitter. He listens and makes changes based on user feedback. Not sure if the Apple podcasts app supports sharing the episodes you are listening to on Twitter and Facebook complete with a link that actually plays the episode, but I like this about Downcast too.

I have not found that, but I agree with ?Alvin, in Downcast if you mark episodes as played they are not visible unless you tap on Show More Episodes or whatever it's called exactly. I may not want to delete an episode because what happens if I want to go back to an earlier episode to find something again. I am able to delete single episodes in Today in iOS Podcast by doing the pass through gesture and then swiping across them left to right similar to how you would delete songs prior to the Action rotor, the Action rotor is not yet implemented in Podcasts. In any case, if I have to delete one episode at a time how long am I supposed to delete stuff, there are now 241 episodes of Today in iOS and what if you are a new subscriber to another Podcast with hundreds of episodes? I guess it's not that big a deal to have them all listed there, but then again if other apps can hide them that means it can be done. Apple claims they want to have the best Podcast app there is and it's not like they didn't have plenty to compare it to. It's sort of like with the new Maps, they make a big deal about a new product and then it falls way short of what people expect and is launched with lots of problems or incomplete features.

Battery Draining Issue.
Hello All. On this list a few days ago, Mark Taylor gave his experiences re the I phone 5 in the store that he went to. He talked about the battery draining issue. Today, I returned to work with my new I phone 5. Since I've been here, all I've done is look at a few E-mails, listened to a podcast and listening to some music with the screen locked. However when replying to E-mails, I've done this with my bluetooth braille display. Already I am at 40 % battery power after being at 100 this morning and we're not at the end of my day yet. So is there really any improvement to the batery life? Kawal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Battery Draining Issue.
I have 4 apps in the switcher. my hours are as follows, 8 30 to 10 had a hapf an hour break. no music was played. From 10 30 to 1. No music for 45 minutes, screen locked. From 1 45 to 4 15 more music. Then I will go home and no music again until next day but will be used for something else when the battery is charged. Thoughts? Kawal.

Re: Small braille keyboard/displays for iPhone
No, I was curious. Am getting the Apex in a week or two and then another braille display to use with my I phone 5! On 24 Sep 2012, at 13:04, erik burggraaf e...@erik-burggraaf.com wrote: hi, The old braille connect is much as you describe. The new brilliant bi has the same basic feature set as the braille connect, only the keys have better action, particularly the space bars. it's also made of a different type of aluminum that's a different texture. i actually like it a lot, even though the keys on the braille keyboard feel a bit big to my fingers. i'd suggest if you were going to go that rout, you get an executive leather case for your display. if you get the apex it will come with a pretty nice case already, but if you just get a braille display such as the brilliant bi, you won't get a carrying case. That would take care of at least some of your aversion to the aluminum. best, Erik Burggraaf Introducing Ebony Consulting business card transcription service, starting at $0.45 per card or $35 per hundred cards.

I am getting a braille Note Apex for work and plan to use it with my I phone too as it's the one with the perkins style keyboard rather than the qwerty as Apple do not let you have full control of the I phone.

My state agency doesn't even have any to let me look at, nor do any of the other folks I talk to in the state. I even went to a company in a neighboring state, and they couldn't arrange a demo for me, not of braille displays, and it is because of the cost, just as you said.

Below are 4 examples of places/apps where I found it doesn’t work or works partially: The Apple Podcast app: I know Downcast is still the preferred Podcast client by most, but let’s hope Apple does improve Podcast since it does have SIRI integration although that also needs to be improved. At this point the Action rotor setting is not present when in the list of Podcast episodes for a Podcast I am subscribed to. The Phone app: Here the Action menu is available in the Favourites list, a single finger flick down or up will put me on Delete and a double tap will remove whichever Favourite I am on. I still have to tap on “Edit” at the top, then tap the delete button beside the call I want to delete, confirm that I want to delete it and then tap Done at the top right. The Contacts app/Contacts tab: No deleting a contact in this new way. You have to open the Contact, go to Edit, go to the very end and double tap on the delete button there. The Messages app: I can delete a conversation in the main list view, but if I go into that conversation, the Action rotor is not available to delete individual messages in the conversation. I can clear all messages by going to Edit and then tapping Clear All at the top left or I can double tap one or more messages in a conversation and then double tap the “Delete 3 messages” in the bottom left where 3 is just an example, it will indicate however many messages you selected. Feel free to use what I typed above to paste into your message to Apple to ask that the Action rotor is one of the nice new iOS 6 features, but to implement it also in these places and others you may think of or where Apple may find a use for it.

Re: i o s and visually impaired users
I don't think the store has been down graded. Nothing wrong with it. I just used it without thinking about it. People do not like change and probably Apple will do something although they are obliged to do nothing. I hope they don't think that visually impaired people are ungrateful. Sometimes I think visually impaired people are very ungrateful and do not appreciate how much work is put in to develop something.

Notifications Again.
Hi. Some one said if you turn off badges that notifications would read in locked screen if you selected the alert option instead. It's not working for me as it's not made any difference.

Re: Siri Generated Text Messages Bug Discovered in iOS 6.0
I asked a few estions yesterday and did not get any answers. First, if you turn voice off, use Seri, how do you know that Seri got it right? How do you get it to send messages etc if you don't get any feedback from Seri when Voice over is off that he/she has got the recognition right? I can't use Seri as she doesn't understand me whatsoever and says things that I never said hence Seri is useless to me. Kawal.

I wonder, does this happen when sending regular texts and iMessages? Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Sep 27, 2012, at 3:10 PM, M. Taylor mk...@ucla.edu wrote: Hello Everyone, To those of you who may not know, When using Siri to send a text message, the screen locks before completing the process. It does not matter how long the auto-lock is set. NOTE 1: If the message is short enough, only one word, for instance, Siri may successfully send the text message. It may also work the first time you attempt to send a message after powering on the device. However, subsequent attempts with messages containing more than 5 words or so, will time out before the message can be sent. To create the bug, do the following: NOTE 2: I use the center button on the included iPHone wired headset to interact with Siri. 1. Launch Siri and say something like, Send a message to Mark Taylor. Siri will reply with something like, You said, send a message to Mark Taylor. OK. I can send a message to Mark Taylor for you. What would you like it to say? At this point, a text message dialog box is displayed and Siri will say something like, To, Mark Taylor. 2. Initiate the Siri command and say something like, Hi Mark. How is your day? I hope you are well. Siri will respond with something like, You said, Hi Mark. How is your day? I hope you are well. I updated your message. Ready to send it? Reply with cancel or send. NOTE 3: For me more often than not, the screen locks at this point, before I can send the message. I have also experienced the scenario when, after initiating Siri and saying, Send, Siri will respond with something like, You said Send. Okay, I will send it for you, only to lock the screen, losing the message before it can be sent. I strongly encourage those of you who have or can reproduce this bug to either send a message to Apple at accessibil...@apple.com or call their accessibility hotline at: 877-204-3930. Please feel free to use any part of this post. Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Siri
Well, tried using Siri with Voice Over off. It was much better, however, she can't understand my name and I had to spell out my mobile number or she would have never got my name. How can I teach Siri to say my name as she knows what it is when I ask her. So why can't she send me a text?
