Re: Is Siri Available as a TTS Voice?

Siri is Samantha which is a Nuance  vocalizer voice. I can use it 
with Window-eyes although I generally choose not to do so.

adding bookshare titles to Voice Dream?

[Kevin Barry]

	  I'm hoping for some assistance. I have Voice Dream and a 
Bookshare account and I've linked them. I've also linked VD to my 
DropBox acccount.

My question is how do I get bookshare titles into the Voice Dream app?
It looks like you cannot download  directly from bookshare so I 
figured I'd use dropbox as the place where the two shall meet.

However, what do I do from there?
I've copied titles into my dropbox folder both zipped and unzipped as 
a folder after downloading in daisy format.

VD won't open anything.
So, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Kevin

Thanks very much.

Hi Kevin,

You can download directly from bookshare into voice dream without
using dropbox as an intermediary.

Open voice dream on your phone. Double tap the add button in the lower
left of the screen. You will be presented with a list of places to add
from that includes bookshare. If you double tap bookshare you should
find yourself in the bookshare screen listing categories including
popular, latest, book categories etc. There is also a search field at
the top. You should be able to select any of these categories or
perform a search, then from the book title screen you should find a
download button that will allow you to download the book directly into
voicedream.

I hope this is helpful.

Hi,

I've been trying out ship-rack for tracking packages, but one thing I
can't figure out is how to delete a package once it's been delivered.
I double-tap the dlete button, but nothing happens.  The only thing is
that a check-mark appears next to the package info, but I sure don't see
a way to actually delete the item.

Does anyone know of another good package tracking app?

Re: [vi-kindle] New Accessibility Features to Free Kindle Reading iOS Apps

[Kevin Barry]

"easier than ever" By that I presume they mean "possible".
Amazon has been dragging its knuckles for so long on this I'm not 
exactly bubbling over with good feelings.

Re: Best weather app in the US

[Kevin Barry]

I heartily dispise the native weather app. It updates extremely 
slowly and constantly tells me I am in a town where I am decidedly not.

I just  love hearing it's night at 8:30 in the morning.

At 05:24 PM 5/1/2013, you wrote:

Hi,
for some it has to do with the source from which the weather info is 
coming. I believe the native app gets its info from yahoo weather 
and the weather channel.   Others might prefer other sources 
believing them to be more accurate.  I suppose similar opinions 
govern which alerting apps people prefer as well or the timely 
nature with which the push notifications arrive.

As I said more options is never a bad thing in my view.

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

Can you access the hourly forecast in the weather alert USA app? the app
description notes that it has an hourly forecast graph, but that sounds
visual rather than text based. What about Weather bug? Can the hourly
forecast be read via VO? I live in an area where the weather changes
constantly and rapidly. Sunny and warm in the morning then snow, windy and
freezing in the afternoon. So, I'd like to be able to have access to this
information. I love the Fahrenheit app for temperature monitoring and it
gives me the temperature forecast in three hour increments but it doesn't
note weather it will be windy, snowy, or rainy.

Thanks,

The battery in your iPhone is not a user replaceable battery.  It

BARD app coming

[Kevin Barry]

			On the Blind Access   Journal there is an  interview with Judy 
Dixon who represents the NLS. She demonstrated an early version of 
the forthcoming IOS app for BARD. This is of great interest to those 
of us in the U.S.
The app seems very  promising. Direct download from the site, i.e no 
iTunes, good control of playback speed, level navigation and more.

The app seems very  promising. Direct download from the site, i.e 
no iTunes, good control of playback speed, level navigation and more.

Re: adding more memmory to the IPhone?

You are confusing memory with storage.
They are quite different.
and the answer is no in either case.

RE: adding more memmory to the IPhone?

[Kevin Barry]

I believe there is no fifth gen iPod with 16gb. You're looking at the 
4th gen model which Apple still sells.


At 05:50 AM 3/10/2013, you wrote:

Hi,

You should know because of what you pay for it. Here in North America an
iPod Touch Fifth Gen is $199 for a 16 Gig, $299 for a 32 Gig and $399 for a
64 Gig model. In any case, you can always go to Settings, General and About
and find out the capacity of your device as it is displayed there.

In any case, if I buy a device like an iPod, iPad or iPhone, knowing what I
buy would be one of my priorities and I would assume most people would find
out and plan ahead based on how much storage they require. My music, for
example, takes up about 27 Gig and at this point I still prefer to have all
my music on the device rather than use iCloud which may not be accessible
to me if I am travelling in another country. I also know I need at least 2
or 3 Gigs for my apps and I want to have lots of space for downloading
Audible books. Lastly I would need space for pictures if I am travelling and
want somebody to take pictures for me (or take some myself). If I add all
that up I know I need at least 35 or 40 Gig which means for me a 32 Gig
model would not allow me to put all my music on it and still have enough
space. A 64 Gig gives me more than I need, but for a $100 price difference
it is worth it for me to have that extra space.

RE: 3-GS question

[Kevin Barry]

I bought a  16gb refurbed 3gs for $120 and I got it unlocked from 
AT&T. It might have  been that way before I got it but I made sure.
I'm taking it with me  on my next trip to Asia and I'll probably 
unload it there.
I never used a 3gs before and I have to say it's a lot snappier than 
I would  have predicted. It's running IOS 6.1.3.


At 05:37 PM 8/15/2013, you wrote:

Hello Sean,

There are still going to be a lot of people out there who want to buy a
cheap 3GS with iOS 6 even if they can't upgrade to iOS 7. iOS 6 is a very
advanced and stabil mobile platform and a lot of people who want a backup
phone which they can put on a pay as you go plan or maybe they want a phone
to take travelling to Asia or South America where they don't want to take
their shiny new iPhone 5 or 5S to have it stolen or get mugged for it.

Of course you will not get as much for an unlocked 3GS as you did 6 or 8
months ago, but it's still going to be very sellable and I bet it will
outsell any other smartphone of the same age both in terms of what you get
for it and in terms of how easy it will be to sell it.

RE: iPhone as personal hotspot.

[Kevin Barry]

It's elementary.
In settings directly below "wifi" is "personal hotspot"
It likely says off.
Enter there and follow the prompts.

Hi all.
How would I set my iPhone 4S as a personal wy-fy hotspot that I can connect
my Mack to?  I have wy-fy at home but not anywhere else.  Any suggestions?

RE: iPhone as personal hotspot.

[Kevin Barry]

As I  stated; on my Verizon iPhone, with the basic 2gb data plan, 
personal hotspot is under settings between wifi and notifications.

I have tried it and it does work.

RE: iPhone as personal hotspot.

In theory yes; however I have the old plan and tethering works.
I don't use it as I have zero  need to do it.
I'll never sign up for the  new rippoff so-called shared data plans.

Re: NetFlicks and adding programs to instant queue?

[Kevin Barry]

It's quite simple using Win7.
Just search for  what you want.
Assuming you find it, there is a button that says "instant queue".
Just hit it and you're there.

At 04:40 AM 9/5/2012, you wrote:

Hi,

I have figured out how to add programs to the instant queue in 
netflicks from the phone, but because it isn't very quick finding 
what you want to watch, as you have to toggle VO off/on to scroll 
pages. I was hoping to be able to add programs to my instant queue 
from my Windows 7 PC then watch them on the phone. However, I cannot 
find a way to do this, or to see the brief description of the 
program when using the PC.


Can anyone offer any advice?


Many thanks,

eligible for an upgrade.  Somehow I knew I wouldn't be but I just wanted to
confirm (Smile).  Not that it matters as I have decided to purchase iPhone
5.

I was amazed at the fact that the store was jam-packed with customers.
While I no longer frequent the A T & T Wireless or Verizon Wireless stores
as much as I used to, I visit enough to have been truly surprised.  There
was a waiting list to enter the store.

I asked the receptionist why the store was so busy and she said it was
because of all the people who are pre-ordering iPhone 5.

It would appear that not everyone was underwhelmed by Apple's keynote
presentation.

After leaving the store, I decided to go over to the Verizon Wireless store
and, it too, was jam-packed with people preordering.

All I can say is that there appears to be something magical about the
Apple-effect, as I have come to think of it.

By the way, I decided not to wait at the A T & T wireless store.  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.
Tap the Call button.  By the way, 6 3  9 spells the word NEW.  You will
receive a text message stating your eligibility status.

Mark

RE: A few new iPhone 5 features which have not been mentioned much

I always hated plugging in anything that used micro USB.
It seems to take way too much effort and exactness for something you do often.

Hi Annie,

The iPhone 4S already had Bluetooth 4.0 which you really don't find devices
for yet, Apple is way ahead on this. I actually don't know what, for
example, a Bluetooth 4.0 headset or speaker would have that a Bluetooth 2.1
model doesn't have, but even the new Big Jambox which was only recently
released has only Bluetooth 2.1 so either it's not a big deal for something
like a speaker or device manufacturers maybe can't make a Bluetooth 4.0
device yet which has really good battery life or something like that. I am
really hoping at some point that there would be a good Bluetooth headset
which does not have the same tiny delay you seem to get with all Bluetooth
devices and which I find extremely annoying and enough of a reason to stick
to wired headsets. I actually just ordered the new ear pods which get very
good reviews, the few I read all agree that they are a huge improvement over
the original headset, one guy said they are every bit as good as his $130
Bose headset, another person said they are extremely comfortable and have
very good sound quality etc.

RE: i5 Underwhelming

[Kevin Barry]

If other  platforms are moving faster it is only because they are far behind.
As for innovations slowing down; as any technology  matures change 
will  naturally slow down.

It can not do otherwise.
Everything moves faster when starting from zero.
This is truly basic stuff and I wonder why people keep acting shocked 
when  they encounter it.

I think that's what I was getting at: Going from the 4S to the 5 is not

iPhone, but I don't think it unfair to say that Apple appears to be
innovating at a slower rate than when Jobs was in charge. That doesn't mean
that Cook is not innovative or that the iPhone is falling way behind. All
things considered though, I think other platforms are raising the bar at a
faster rate. Since we're relying on one major OS upgrade a year, I'd like to
see that upgrade pack a punch. Hardware-wise, I think they're doing what
they need to do to keep pace. The camera is more dynamic even if it stayed
at 8 MP. But, Do Not Disturb is nothing to be wowed by when other platforms
were doing this already. I'm fine with them going rogue on maps, but why fix
something that wasn't broken? The same is true of Youtube. Perhaps my
greater complaint is that Apple is attempting to pit itself against Google
when Google could in fact help iOS stay ahead of the curve. Anyway,
regardless, I am glad that accessibility is still built into the core, and
that is something that for me personally keeps the iPhone ahead of
everything else.--Joe

Anyway, seriously though, I'm not going to belittle anyone who upgrades from
the 4S to the 5 because after all, it's still moving up the chain of new
devices. However for me personally, I can wait because with what I can get
out of the 4S, I can't justify a new phone just yet. Now, if I was coming
from the 3GS or the 4, then I would definitely be getting the 5.

Yes, it changed a little.

SIM card to the size of a Micros SIM either with a sharp knife nd a steady
hand along with either a Micro SIM as a template or a template you can find
online along with instructions. You could also buy a special cutter which
made the task a lot easier from various places, one of the best I heard is
from www.CutMySIM.com and their cutter actually came with an adapter so you
could use your newly cut Micro SIM again as a regular SIM similar to how you
can use adapters to use a Micro SD card in a regular SD card slot. I just
googled "Can you cut a Micro SIM to the size of a Nano SIM" and got a ton of
results, here is what CNEt has to report:

Can you cut a Micro SIM to the size of a Nano SIM??
Answer: Yes, but it's not as easy as cutting a regular SIM to the size of a
Micro SIM.

The nano-SIM isn't just smaller than the micro-SIM - it's also thinner.
If you're expecting a new iPhone 5 on Friday, and you're buying it unlocked
directly from Apple, you're going to need a nano-SIM to go with it.
Obtaining one is easy if your carrier is one supporting the new device,
because you can just call them up and request one. But what if you're
already stuck in a contract with a carrier that doesn't provide nano-SIMs
yet?

Fortunately for you, scissors, some sandpaper, and a pair of steady hands
will allow you to cut down your existing SIM or micro-SIM into a nano-SIM.

The nano-SIM is around 40% smaller than the micro-SIM, measuring 15 x 12 x
0.76mm. That means there's zero chance you'll be able to stuff your
micro-SIM into your iPhone 5 without modifying it first. But CNET reports
that it's possible to cut down the micro-SIM for a nano-SIM slot - just like
you could cut down your iPhone 3GS's regular SIM card for use in the iPhone
4. It does require a little more work, however.

You see, not only is the nano-SIM smaller than the micro-SIM, but it's also
12% thinner. That means you don't just need to cut it down to size, but you
also need to put it on a diet and thin out out a little bit. CNET's John
Chan explains:

Now, let's say the SIM tray on the iPhone 5 allows a nano-SIM up to 0.70mm
(as permitted by the allowance in the standard set by ESTI), I will need to
pare down 0.12mm on my micro-SIM so that it will fit. After a few minutes of
sanding with some sandpaper (240 grit, for those who care), it was finally
down to 0.70mm. But did the sanding damage the card?

I'm happy to report that the card, even at 0.70mm, continued to work when
inserted in an HTC One X. Sanding the non-metal side of the micro-SIM did
not appear to affect how it functions.

Before you go ahead and do this, wait until you receive your iPhone 5 on
Friday and double-check that a micro-SIM cut down to size - without sanding
- doesn't fit. It's likely it won't, but as Chan notes, we can't be sure of
that until the iPhone 5 is released and it can be tested.

RE: Verizon no longer CDMA. What does this mean? -- WasRE: Unpleasant IPhone Upgrade Surprise

[Kevin Barry]

That's the  Verizon version.
The AT&T version supports different LTE  bands.

At 02:06 PM 9/22/2012, you wrote:

Here is a bit out of an article from PC Magazine you may want to read:
The Verizon iPhone 5 works on a wide range of networks: according to Apple,
it supports
CDMA EV-DO Rev A and Rev. B (800/1900/2100MHz), UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA
(850/900/1900/2100MHz),
GSM/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and LTE (Bands 1/3/5/13/25). That's more
networks
than I've ever seen on a single phone. By default it will roam globally on
the fastest
3G networks it can find. Verizon unlocks the SIM card slots after 60 days if
your
account is in good standing, so you can pop in a foreign SIM card. That is,
if you
can find the so-far-obscure Nano-SIM format. Nobody else uses it yet, but
since Apple's
a behemoth, I'm sure it will catch on.
One thing you can't
 do is move a Verizon iPhone to Sprint or AT&T's LTE network. (It might work
with
T-Mobile, though.) Sprint has (and uses) the ability to reject other
carriers' phones
on its CDMA network, and this model lacks AT&T's LTE bands.
3G talk time was even better than Apple promised, at nine hours, 44 minutes.
That's
not quite as long as the Galaxy S III's 10 hours, 43 minutes, but it's still
impressive.

Verizon is both CDMA and LTE.
Likewise with Sprint if they ever manage to build out more than the 
small handful of LTE sites they have.

I have understood that A t&T and T-Mobile were GSM, and  Verizon and

Does Verizon now being LTE mean when a phone comes off contract and

Re: Verizon iPhone 5

[Kevin Barry]

Are you sure it is not the way Verizon does this for the 4s?
That is, you can get it unlocked for free but only for   international use.
I've used my Verizon 4s quite well in Asia with a local sim card.
When you do that I always see in the notification center that 
location services is on.

I presume this is to allow the phone to verify it is out of the U.S.

iPhone 4s and iPad2.
If an  update or two is available the badge on the icon will list how 
many are ready.
If I go into the app store under the updates tab it will say "all

The only way to actually see the updates is to force close the app

Re: removing the sim card in a 4 s

[Kevin Barry]

Personally I use a safety pin, but you push hard enough to pop out the tray.
It takes some force.

At 11:05 AM 5/9/2013, you wrote:

Okay, This is just what I thought as it was the only hole I found.  How hard
do you have  to press in on the paper clip?  I couldn't get it to budge.
And one more thing.  If I put my sim in to another phone can I use it that
way or will I need to set up my user name and password?  Any suggestions for
in the U S as to what carrier would be a good one to just buy a sim card for
so I can play with this phone?  I already have a 4 S but this one is jail
broken and I just want to play with it.  Thanks for any help.

As  you're looking at the right side of the phone with the home
button to your left; the hole to insert the pin is to the left of the sim
tray.
There is only one place it can go.

truly irritating publisher restriction on Kindle

[Kevin Barry]

I wanted to purchase a subscription to Fortune 
magazine on  the Kindle.
I've been  deprived of this magazine for something like three years 
and I thought I'd finally get it back.

No dice.
When trying to purchase it I am informed that due to 
publisher  restrictions this content only works on kindle hardware 
and not the kindle app.
Thus ends the last bit of sympathy I shall ever have for any content 
publisher complaining about shrinking sales in the digital age.

 For those out there who have installed this NoteMaster app, where or
how does one pay for it? I installed directly from my iPod Touch via Apps
store, actually I was offered the lite version in the Apps store, and since
I could not find a reference to the full version, I went ahead and installed
the lite version. After having installed it, I tried looking through the
menus for a link to download the full version but didn't find one and there
is no reference to a lite version installed on my iPod Touch. I figure this
is a good deal at $4 or whatever, but if I can get away with a buck, then
why not? The installed file was some 26 megabytes in size. Hoping someone
out there might know what's happening here. Thank you Eileen for the
information leading to this purchase.

Hi,

I decided to see if Siri would do a calculation for me 
yesterday.  We had just filled the tank on our vehicle and I wanted 
to check the mileage we were getting.


I brought up Siri and said calculate 381 divided by 12.5.  When she 
came back she told me the answer but also continued with much more 
info.  She even gave a comparison between European cars and U. S. 
cars.  She also gave several alternative forms of calculation.


My wife and I were both totally amazed and laughing our heads off.

Try it yourself, you'll probably find her results amusing too.

Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App

[Kevin Barry]

I have nothing but bad memories of books on records. Not only was 
there a lot of flipping and switching but the worst part was all the 
damage done to the platter by previous users. Pops, click and 
worst  of all track jumping.
Cassettes were much better. Besides all that, they had the advantage 
of size and that  your place was held if you paused one title and 
started another.

Sound quality was good enough for voice recordings.
Digital has been a vast leap forward.
I love my Streams and we'll see what develops with the apps for the 
two smartphone OSes.

Chuck, the sad thing is, I can remember when Talking books came on a 
12 inch record and they played at 33 and a third RPMs and was ticked 
off when they went to 10 inch records at 16 RPMs and then all that 
new-fangled cassettes thing on 2 tracks.  That wasn't good enough 
though for them,  They then had to go from 2 track to 4 tracks and 
then they went a step farther and cut playback speed in half.  They 
said quality wouldn't suffer but they were wrong.  It did.  The best 
thing to happen to talking books was they went digital.  Sound 
quality went up greatly if you were listening to a new recording but 
then trouble struck again with budget cuts.  Far fewer new books 
were being recorded and they started emptying out the tape libraries 
and digitizing those along with some restorazations of older books 
on record.  Still, the best sounding recordings come from new books 
being recording for the first time.

Hi Joe,
While I am looking forward to the IOS app, there is something about

Perhaps it is just a throwback to when I first started using talking

Hi Christopher and John,

Many on this list who take full advantage of all the wonderful features and
capabilities of the iPhone forget that there are still a lot of people out
there who are blind or visually impaired and who either don't want or don't
need a smartphone which comes with half a mortgage in the form of an
expensive monthly plan.

For me the Stream or Booksense both of which I owned at one point also don't
have any attraction anymore and instead of spending $300 or $350 or whatever
these devices cost nowadays on one of these I'd much rather buy an iPod
Touch or iPad Mini as a companion device for my iPhone. But, as I said, a
lot of blind people are perfectly happy with a Stream or Booksense and I
would imagine it will be quite a while yet before such specialty devices
become obsolete. Oh, maybe a Stream or Booksense doesn't have much to do
with an iPhone, but I think it's OK to discuss them in the context of
services like NLS and I guess if Raul or Cara don't agree they will let us
know.


Regards,
Sieghard

Still, you can easily record shows using your  iPhone to command it. 
Plus DirectVR, which is a third party app, allows you  to use your 
phone as a remote control.
The remote control portion of the iPad app, DirecTv's own, is not 
accessible although the rest is.

I've complained as it used to be; but so far, nothing.

We now have Direct TV, and I like the fact that I can easily watch

I would like to hear about the experience of others with other 
providers.  I want to be able to refer to TV listings, and watch on 
my phone or iPad, as well as occasionally record programs.

Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App

[Kevin Barry]

No, as IOS has fixed limits on playback speed and 
that is the one thing I worry about with regard to the new app.
It has double speed but  it's not as Good as 
speed 4 on the Stream which is double.

RE: NLS Update on Talking Book App

[Kevin Barry]

3x is actually 2x which the Downcast developer explains.

At 05:03 PM 5/25/2013, you wrote:

Because no app so far offers anything greater than 3x playback speed and
when I wrote the Downcast dev about offering faster rates of speed, he wrote
back explaining while it was something he'd like to consider, the 3x
playback rate is a limit on Apple's part. That if they removed this
limitation, then he would consider including faster playback in future
updates. Also, when I wrote Apple along the same lines, They gave me the
boiler plate answer of thanking me for my input and that my inquiry would be
forwarded to the proper department, etc...
Now, if the NLS app will in fact  be able to play their files at a faster
rate of speed than what any other app can currently do, I'd be all over that
like white on rice and upgrade to a larger capacity phone like nobody's
business when my upgrade comes around in a couple of months.

Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App

[Kevin Barry]

I've heard it from a few places but the one I 
recall is from the developer of the Downcast app.
There are other speeds but 2x is about it. Some 
apps will state it as 3x though.

to my knowledge there are no Apple-imposed 
limits on how fast you can process / play an 
audio file. Some of the built-in audio classes 
have limits but there are many ways to play 
audio on iOS as well as decoding files yourself.


So am just wondering if you have more info on this…

Thanks so much!

That's good to know.
How did it sound? The Stream's method of speeding

Just to let you and the list know, I've just

Just FYI! :)

Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App

[Kevin Barry]

Well, I'm not a coder so it won't help directly 
but it does sound wonderful to me.
This gives me new hope that the NLS app will be 
able to do what the Stream does with regard to 
increased speeds without choppyness or odd cadences.

HI Kevin,

Actually it sounded very good, considering that 
the pitch was also sped up. It was incredibly smooth.


I haven't yet played with shifting the pitch 
back down to compensate for the speed increase 
but will do this next. Also, there are libraries 
that developers can import into their iOS apps 
which take care of time-stretching for you so a 
dev will not need to do this themselves. (as I'm 
doing now) :) So really this comes down to which 
way the developer decides to process their audio.


If the Downcast developer is curious, I did this 
using Apple's native 3D audio library called 
OpenAL. this is an open-source audio library 
which Apple has chosen to use as its default 3D 
audio support for gaming and such on Mac and iOS.


The reason that people might think there is a 
limit is that if you use the conventional means 
of playing iPod audio or even some of the 
convenience classes offered by Apple which most 
developers might look to first, then pitch / 
speed may be supported up to 2x. Using something 
like openAL though, that doesn't apply.


Hope this helps!

Smiles,

Cara :)

Re: Turn iPad into phone?

[Kevin Barry]

No  idea bout those two apps but why not just use Skype?
Or even google voice with talkatone or GV Connect?
A cellular iPad does have a phone number.

I was talking with someone from Verizon Wireless just the other day,

mentioned are called Whistle and Tango. Does anyone know of these, and
if they're worth trying, and of course, if they're accessible?

Re: a bit confused re: I pod touch on apple store

[Kevin Barry]

Fifth gen just got a 16gb version, minus the back camera, for $229.
Don't get the 4th gen, it's slow!

At 09:07 PM 5/30/2013, you wrote:

Hi Keith and others,

It may make it easier for you to decide between the 4th and 5th
generation iPod Touch models by hearing about some of the things you
can do with the 5th generation iPod Touch that you can't do with the
4th generation model.  The 5th generation iPod Touch has a 5 megapixel
camera in contrast to the 0.7 megapixel of the 4th generation model.
Popular apps like TapTapSee that rely on the camera quality to
identify objects will work dramatically better with the 5th generation
camera.  OCR applications require at least a 3 megapixel camera to
work -- and that's even the lower limit recommended for sighted
individuals using the camera.  You can use an OCR app like Prizmo or
TextGrabber with an external stand like the StandScan Pro with the 5th
generation iPod Touch.  The camera on the 4th generation iPod Touch
fails for this use by several factors.

The new music apps are using a standard called Audiobus that allows
the inputs and outputs of Audiobus compatible music apps to be shared
-- you can either use this to record/produce more than one track in an
app like GarageBand, or to use the outputs of an Audiobus compatible
music app as the input to another Audiobus compatible app.  This
process
cannot work on the fourth generation iPod, which does not have enough
processing power.  Although techinically it could limp through some
Audiobus capable processing, Apple specifically disabled this
capability on GarageBand for the 4th generation iPod Touch as being
too far below the hardware requirements.  (There's a forum post about
this on AppleVis). The 5th generation iPod Touch uses a dual core
processor and is Audiobus capable.

Hope this gives you a flavor of some of the real limitations you'll
encounter in the user experience between the fourth and fifth
generation iPod Touch.

Cheers,

Esther

Re: Word Recognition Using High-quality and Compact Voices

Yes. But they are named by Nuance.
I have all the English  Nuance voices on my PC using Window-eyes. 
There are five, as I recall Samantha voices alone ranging 
from  compact to something like super high quality  or some such.

Apple offers a choice of what Nuance has.
And, for my PC I still prefer the old Dec Access32.
Nothing clearer or more   responsive.

Re: Word Recognition Using High-quality and Compact Voices

Well, you have a history of using awful speech. Some of thos  old 
models were truly bad and Eloquence always sounded muddy to me. Crank 
it up to a decent speed and it seemed to become one giant syllable.

Nuance also has blind employees. I'm blind, and I prefer the HQ voices.
I find them a bit crisper and clearer.

I'm not saying people don't have a legitimate complaint about the HQ
voices, but I think a lot of it is what you get used to. For example, I
just switched from Eloquence to eSpeak on my PC's. It took a while, but
I'm now comfortable with eSpeak. I remember the transition over the
years from the Echo PC to the Accent SA to Keynote Gold to the DECTalk
Express and then into the software synthesizers like Eloquence and now
eSpeak.

RE: a bit confused re: I pod touch on apple store

4 inch screen. No such thing as an Apple device with a 4.5 inch screen.

Hi Keith,

Just look at the specs, if it has an A5 processor and 4.5 inch screen it's a
Fifth Gen. also, the fourth Gen has now been discontinued and instead of the
$199 Fourth Gen 16 Gig Apple is now only selling a $229 Fifth Gen 16 Gig.
However, I would strongly advise against it since it does not has a 5 MP
rear camera so unless you strictly want this as a music player it is not a
good idea. One of the nice features of the fifth Gen iPod Touch line is the
fact that it does have a very adequate 5 MP camera which can be used for
barcode and object recognition and even OCR. Better to spend $299 and get a
32 Gig with camera.

I think the extra $70 are well worth the extra 16 Gig of stporage and the
camera.

Sieghard

This info from Apple should answer your questions:
. It looks like an  iPhone 5
, with the same 4 inch, 1136 x 640 pixel display. But the 5th-generation
iPod touch
doesn't make phone calls, it's even thinner than the new iPhone, and it has
a last-generation processor.
that's because the new iPod touch has a faster processor, bigger screen, and
a
better camera, among other improvements.
The 5th-gen iPod touch measures 6.1mm (0.24 inches) thick and weighs 88
grams (3.1 ounces). It's the thinnest and lightest iPod touch to date, even
though it has the largest screen yet.
It's powered by an Apple A5 processor - much like the iPad 2 or the iPhone
4. That's a step up from the 4th generation iPod touch, which has an A4
chip,
but it falls short of the new A6 processor in the iPhone 5. Apple says that
chip offers twice the graphics and CPU performance of an A5.
Apple says the iPod touch is the "world's most popular" media player, and
also portable gaming device - and the new dual core chip should help boost
gaming performance.
The new iPod touch has a 5MP camera, LED flash and autofocus - features
which weren't available on the fixed-focus camera on the last iPod touch.
Apple is also included a panorama mode and support for 1080p HD video
recording with the rear camera.
Like the iPhone 5, there's a new FaceTime HD front-facing camera which can
shoot 720p video, and the company has added an optional wrist strap which
comes
in handy if you plan to use the iPod touch as a point-and-shoot camera, or
hand
it to your kid for mobile gaming.
Apple is adding Bluetooth 4.0 to the iPod touch, along with dual-channel
802.11a/b/g/n WiFi.
The iPod touch also now gets AirPlay mirroring support, letting you pair the
device with an Apple TV to stream games, videos, or other content to a TV.
And for the first time, you can now use Siri voice recognition on the iPod
touch.

Hi, just went to the apple store online and was checking out the I-pod
touch.  People have suggested between the Ipod touch 4 and 5 gen but there
is no differentiation between the two.  There is only the Ipod Touch with
different memory capacities.

Is there such thing as an I pod 4th gen and 5th gen, or is that simply the
phones?

Thanks

few interesting things in IOS 7

1. Ability to make an audio only Facetime call.
2.  Ability to block callers and texters in your phone. Carriers will

3. Ability to permanently disable a stolen IOS device.

Anything the carriers hate I am in favor of.
An iPhone 4 and iPad 2 and mini will update to

Subject: Accessibility in iOS 7?

I listened to the Keynote today.  I was interrupted during some of the iOS 7
portion when they were talking about the 10 new features.
However, nothing about accessibility was mentioned.
In prior Keynote addresses, they always mentioned accessibility changes,
improvements, etc.
Siri is getting a new voice, but that has nothing to do with accessibility.

In fact, one thing they mentioned that does not sound very good from an
accessibility stand point is the automatic updating of apps.
If they don't allow us to disable that feature, there will be no way to
avoid updating an app that has broken accessibility.

I know there are developers on this list and I know you are all under NDAs,
but it will be good to know if accessibility is being improved rather than
ignored.

Just my two cents worth,

Re: Advice on updating iPad 2 OS from 4.3 to 6.1.3

[Kevin Barry]

Just do it.
You need IOS 5.0 or later for wireless backup.
That iPad is seriously out of date and should be updated.
At 07:19 PM 6/14/2013, you wrote:

Hi,

I'm trying to help my young daughter update her iPad 2, never 
previously backed up or updated.


We've got the iPad backed up, purchases transferred, and synched.

With the iPad 2 connected to the PC, we click on Download and 
Update. When we do that we get a message that says you may lose all 
information on the device. This is scary.


I've tried the wireless route, but there's nothing in setting for a 
software update, so I'm guessing the older version doesn't have the 
wireless update option.


Can we go ahead with the download and update from the PC, even 
though we get the scary message? I guess we can just restore from 
our backup earlier today if we run into problems, but I'd feel 
better getting advice from here first.


Thanks. Keith

Re: iOS 5.1.1 is out Voiceover going silent bug

[Kevin Barry]

I use my 4s at 100% speech rate.
The bug is still present and so far the only common  denominator I've 
noticed is it seems to rear its ugly head when I'm rapidly swiping.

Maybe others are just  slower with there devices?

At 04:45 PM 5/9/2012, you wrote:
just because the issue only began with iOS v5.0, this does not 
exclude it being related to the speed of the synth.


it maybe that previous coding of the OS allowed without issue the 
speed that some users like, but, that coding in iOS v5.0 does not.


I'm not saying that it is the speed issue, but, that it seems 
plausible, and without anyone who has the issue, declaring that they 
have the issue, with speed below 60% then we cannot rule it out.


more over, we know that the iOS device continues to operate 
normally, only the speech stops, leading me to consider it a synth 
specific issue.


the people who have the issue, seem to have the speed set high, were 
as, those who say they do not, seem to have it set at 50% or less.

Re: Audible and Downcast

Re: Weather widget question, can I reset local weather?

[Kevin Barry]

When I am at home it insists I am in a nonexistent town.
Some folks  here have embarked on a campaign to change the name of my 
town and since they failed legally they're trying by other means.

As a result, here I get one name, half a mile away I get the correct name.
Yahoo weather is a pain.

Subject: Weather widget question, can I reset local weather?



Hi everyone!
Okay, this is not exactly a life-altering issue, but it is a bit 
annoying.  I live in the city of Santa Cruz, California. 
When I first set up my phone and everybody starts looking for my 
location, the weather widget comes up and quickly says Capitola or 
Aptos Hills. Now, these towns are clear across the county and their 
weather is quite different than it is where I live. The only way I 
get around this is to turn off local weather and add a city, mine. 
When I type in my zip code, well, truthfully, it now shows me 
another town up in the hills, but it's closer to Santa Cruz.
So, my question. Can I reset local weather by making it search for 
my location again? I'm assuming that if I have local weather turned 
on, it will show the weather wherever I am if I travel. Is that a 
correct assumption? I have tried turning weather off, in the 
location services section of settings and then turning it back on 
again. This did not fix the problem.
And just for fun, by the way, I tried adding the extra four digits 
of my zip code. That was good for a laugh. It showed me Portugal.
Anyway, if anyone knows of a good article on the weather widget 
that I'm not finding, that would be cool.

Thanks for any help any of you can offer.

Re: Weather widget question, can I reset local weather?

If local weather is on it will use location services to find where 
you are and give your local weather.

This works around the world as well as I've discovered.

Re: Weather widget question, can I reset local weather?

[Kevin Barry]

If local weather is on the first one should be where you are at that moment.
Double tap on it and it should bring up the weather app from where 
you can switch to other cities you have saved.

Hi again!
I guess I'm still confused here. When local weather is turned on, if 
I go to edit cities and add Santa Cruz, it now says I have two 
cities showing. It calls them both Santa Cruz. If I turn off local

Cruz have very different weather forecasts.
When I travel, if local weather is turned on, will that forecast 
change based on where I am? Thanks.
