Re: Calendar Issues
Hi, I have investigated the calendar for the first time today, whilst trying to put in a doctors appointment. I have to admit I was totally horrified! I think I have now managed to put my appointment in twice, because no matter how many times I click done, I cannot locate it in the events. My appointment is on the half hour for example, all I can do it access hour by hour. Thank you Kara very much for your details on how to use it they are very helpful! However, the meantime, I think I may invest in VO calendar, even though it is more expensive and the calendar in itself should work without a problem. I wanted to check, if I do get this app, you said it links to your existing calendar. If Apple made any changes to the calendar so it feels more user friendly, will I be able to just go back to that and all my appointments will be there too? It talked about them transferring from the native calendar, but do they transfer back? I have Gmail, but I have never used a calendar. I see that this new iOS version allows you to use your Gmail calendar. Would it be easier if I were to do that instead? I'm so disappointed because I use the calendar all the time! I know Cara you make it sound really easy, but it really seems counterintuitive and I really cannot be spending all my time trying to find my appointments like I am now… Kirsten -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

GPS app that works inside?
Hello, I have almost a dozen GPS apps for my iPhone. I'm pretty certain that one was mentioned a few months back that could work indoors. I think I might have it, but I can't remember which one it was. What I'm looking for is one which can get you around inside shopping malls, and can help you identify the different shops. Does this exist? Or is this just in my dreams? I want to go to my local Apple Store to buy an iPad mini-ironically-but I'm not quite sure where it is, and the shopping mall is really open and massive and difficult to navigate, even though I do have a guide dog.

Fwd: Completing surveys using Voice-over
Dear all, I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but it is starting to bug me, so below is the email I sent to Apple Accessibility. Begin forwarded message: From: Kirsten Edmondson kirsten.edmond...@btinternet.com Subject: Completing surveys using Voice-over Date: 24 February 2013 04:02:35 GMT To: accessibil...@apple.com Cc: Kirsten Edmondson kirsten.edmond...@btinternet.com Dear Apple, I am writing as I have noticed the below problem on several occasions over the past few months. I'm sure you are familiar with the situation where you are emailed a link and asked to complete a survey? For example, when having gone to the Apple store for example. I access my emails-usually-on my IPhone 4S and so I double-tap on the link to the survey (as I am a voice-over user). The page always loads fine. Say, for example that is the Apple own one, or any made by Survey Monkey-if you are familiar with that site-as that is where a lot of them come from. You double-tap on start or the equivalent. The questions which come up in front of you are multiple choice and need checkboxes ticking in order to choose one or various responses as appropriate. This should not be a problem, as reading checkboxes and then double-tapping on them to tick is easy. However, There are often three problems which now occur which prevent proper/complete filling in of such surveys. 1. The line of the question is often repeated where the first checkbox is found. 2. No checkbox for ticking is identified by Voice-over and 3. Thus, there is no way to tick at least one of the boxes. This means, that if the answer you want to choose is the first one, you are unable to tick it. It's not as if the boxes are totally out of line with the parts of the question, as otherwise they would hang over the end of the question and it would be doable to work out which box belongs where. Say for example the the question is asking to select your gender, if Female is first and then Male and then Rather Not Say, the only ones available to check would be Male and Rather Not Say. This is alright if you are not Female ... :) But often surveys prevent you from moving on if you have not chosen an answer-and thus you cannot do the survey. I write today because I have found the same problem with a survey I was sent from Apple, so I thought it was time to make you aware of this situation. This particular survey was one of the ones you send out after someone has shopped in an Apple Store, to see how they found the service. I found that I could complete most of it, but as I got to the end, I had to choose one of two options, neither of these appeared as a checkbox, thus when I double-tapped on them, nothing happened. Therefore, when I pressed next I was told I had not filled in a required section. This means I cannot complete the survey. I will have to do it on my Mac, as when a survey does not work on Safari on the IPhone, I end up logging onto my MBP or my Windows PC to complete the survey successfully. I used to think that this was a problem with the makers of surveys, that they had not made them accessible enough. This may well be the case, but I wanted to alert you, in case there is something you can do with the IPhone, Safari and Voice-over to make them read them correctly-as that seems to be where the problems reside. Kind regards, and thanks for looking into this. Kirsten Edmondson kirsten.edmond...@btinternet.com 07867978791 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Perhaps slightly OT.voiceye
I have recently learnt about this product. I understand that it is a way of incorporating an entire text into a bar code. You then use the app, available on iPhone etc, or an existing piece of software, in the UK, available from sight and sound technology, to read the bar code and work out what the text is inside. Does anyone have any experience of using this? Is it worth looking into and getting? It sounds very intriguing, but potentially, it could be very complicated too! Do a lot of things now automatically use such barcodes? Or is this something you have to set up manually every time? Any thoughts would be very welcome!

Thanks! That's great. I saw a few different ones but it was so difficult to tell. Sometimes I do wish that like on Appleviz, developers would be expected to write about accessibility/voice-over.

Sadly though, this technology is not available everywhere, and sometimes it doesn't work. The team at Solo-DX wants to make the experience better by having the blind film-goer use a smart phone app to listen to the descriptive audio track instead. Last week, I had the opportunity to test out the new MovieReading app. The interface is very simple. Once you're logged in, you visit the Marketplace, download the descriptive audio track for the film you're going to go see at your theater, and than start the track when your film begins. The app will listen to the audio in the theater and sync the audio track with where the film is so that the user doesn't have to try and match the two tracks themselves. to test the app, I downloaded the Princess Bride track and then watched some Youtube clips from the film. In all three cases, the sync option worked perfectly. The MovieReading app's latest version is expected to be released before November 22nd, the opening day of the film Philomena which will be the first movie to use the app's new features. MovieReading is currently available on iOS, and they hope to have an Android version soon. Pasted below is a press release from Solo-DX about the MovieReading app and Philomena.

Re: AudioBooks.com
That sounds like rather a lot of money for a service where you wouldn't even get to keep the books after you'd paid all that money!

gmail account
Hi all, I have just added my gmail account to my iphone, and it works successfully to send and receive messages, but randomly I don't have a delete button. I can't find a delete button when at the bottom of the screen when I have the message open or when I click edit and then select the messages. There is a different button called archive is this the same thing? Did I set up the account up wrong? Sorry for my ignorance!

Re: gmail account
Thank you, I thought it must be something like that. Should I change my account settings for my Gmail account? So that the messages do not remain on the server? What do other people do? Does anyone think I need to change any other settings? I don't want to end up with loads of messages everywhere… But equally, I don't want to lose messages, and I do use iPhone mail and Mac mail… Thank you!

I typically don't delete my messages in this manor, though it does work. Archiving is something entirely different, it stores your messages, quite litterally, in an archive. What I do to delete messages is as follows: When you know exactly what messages you wish to delete, when in the Inbox folder, and not a message, find the edit button located to the right of the heading for the title of the folder. Activate this, and then begin flicking right and double tapping the messages you wish to delete. At the bottom of the current view of messages is a move button. Double tap the move button and this will bring up a list of folders. Navigate to the trash folder, double tap, and all those messages you earlier selected will be moved to your Trash folder, and ultimatley deleted after 2 weeks on your phone. Note that this does not delete your messages from the Gmail server, it moves them into the trash folder.

uploading photos on Faceley
Hi all, I am posing this question on behalf of a friend. She has tried everything to upload photos onto Facebook. None of the apps seem to work for it, they will all get so far but then they won't tell her what photo she is uploading or where to etc etc She has found that faceley is the most accessible so far. However, she has a question which she would be grateful if you could answer for her. I will pass on any responses. She is able to select a photo and upload it, but when she wants to put it in a particular album she is finding it difficult. She has about 12 albums available to her, but the scroll box seems to work like a combo box which does auto selection, (like JAWS does when you don't press alt and down arrow) – for those of you who know what I'm talking about. If she swipes up it just selects the first one and puts the photo in the album. Even if that's not the album she wants. It seems to get stuck at that point and she cannot choose another album. Even though she knows there are another 11 available. Does anyone know any way of activating this scrollbox so that it brings up the whole list and she can then double tap on the one she wants rather than it selecting the next one. At the moment, she swipes up once and it will go up one album, butthen she has to do the same action several times over in order to get all the way around and go through the albums available. To be specific, she double taps, swipes up, then has to swipe away and back and then double tap and swipe up which will select the second one up and then over and over. It relies on her remembering in what order the albums are in too. This is rather fiddly, don't you think? She has tried all the traditional things: double tap; double tap and hold; sliding; touching the middle of the screen to refresh; tapping top/bottom; swiping down with three fingers etc etc, but nothing seems to make this box work any differently to the way it does. Is it just inaccessible, or I mean, poorly designed, and something she will just have to put up with as it is the only one she can use, even if slow. Or does anyone know of a way that definitely works or have any idea what might work. Your help is much appreciated!

On my 4S I double-tap--Hold, wait for the tri-tone and while it is still sounding I do a quick swipe to the right. This only works about 80% of the time and the timing of the last part of the gesture seems to be the key, it has to be almost frantic for lack of a better description. And this is one continuous gesture without a finger lift inbetween. Once I get my 3GS back from the person who borrowed it way too long ago I'll try the same thing with the slower processor and report my findings. It's not you but the gesture seems about as consistent as do the ones pertaining to the rotor. The rotor will cooperate 90% of the time and sometimes twisting it one direction works better than the other.

VO in iOS six question
Hi all, Funny problem with VO since updating to iOS six. I have the HQ issue of course which everyone else seems to have talked about already. So I'm not bothered about that. But I think, connected to this, is when I reboot my phone, Daniel returns. This is my default because it is a British phone. But I use Samantha as a matter of course. What do I need to do to keep Samantha permanently? It will get irritating having to change it every time. This never used to happen on 5.11. Do you think it will resolve itself once I have the HQ voice back? It's been two days and I still haven't got it though.

Re: VO in iOS six question
My Samantha, which is the one I want to use over Daniel, is selected in language lroa. As Les says, it isn't at the top of the list though, there was never a way to change the default language before, but it would let you stick with another language and it would retain it. What is different now? I'm not that sure that moving it to the top of the list would help, though I'll try it. Is there any other way to tell the phone I want Samantha? I don't think I can unselect British English as a default, so at the moment I have both selected and I change it in the rotor itself, although when I double tap on it in the settings, it doesn't make any difference, I have to change it using the rotor action.

Reporting bugs to Apple accessibility
Hi, how many bugs can you report to Apple accessibility at once? Do you have to email them each one separately? I have 3 to report but before I email I wanted to check. I am loving iOS six! It is much quicker and apart from a few minor issues it is great. I particularly like how you don't have to double tap the more numbers, shift, delete, etc any more, makes typing much quicker… My dictation was very slow yesterday, but it seems to have improved… And Siri seems to be generally more responsive too.

Re: VO focus in email lists
Yes, there is a general focus problem with VO and iOS six and a few apps. It's one of the bugs I intend to report. I noticed it in email too, and also in Twitter and particularly with edit fields. I thought at first with twitter, it was Twitter itself, but after you've been in and read a tweet or an article or reply to something, it puts you back at the top of your tweets, very annoying if you read your timeline backwards as I do. Also when you are wanting to go in to an edit field, although it says editing, the focus seems to be on the cancel button, so if you are dictating it is fine, you can press dictate and it will work, but if you want to type, you have to swipe to make sure you're in the edit box. When swiping sometimes, it will move to the status bar rather than swiping through. Additionally, it seems to jump, so when you are editing what you have written, it will put new things not where you wanted them to go: this is extremely irritating!(Though I have only noticed this last problem in twitter, when I am trying to select someone to mention, it moves, it doesn't seem to happen when editing a message in mail, so perhaps this is just a Twitter problem only). If anyone can reproduce this in particular, that would be good. In messages, it seems to be putting you on the messages tab at the start of the app rather than near the message you want to read.

Re: VO in iOS six question
Thanks Sieghard, I wasn't quite sure how reordering worked and this explains it brilliantly and thoroughly! It won't solve my default issue though, as I don't want to change the international settings and change the date etc. I have reported it to Apple though and maybe they will do something about it. It was never a problem in five, so I don't know what they've done to make voice-over start in your default language on start-up now. :( As for the difference between high-quality and compact, I am getting used to the change of pitch, I couldn't notice the difference between HQ and compact though I have had them off and on invariably, I quite like the fact that when you delete a letter it is at a lower pitch and when you insert one it's at a higher pitch, I don't know if this is new to iOS six or the voice was never differentiated enough before but I never noticed it before. Kirsten Sent from my iPhone On 22 Sep 2012, at 17:25, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Stan, You can reorder the languages in the language rotor. Here are the steps (these also apply to reordering Favourites in the Phone app and in some other areas I can't think of right now): Go to the Language rotor. I will use the example of US English and British English. You have the list of languages down the left side and to the right of each language is a button which Voiceover announces as Reorder US English Button, Dragable or British English button, Dragable. Also, those languages that are selected to appear in the language rotor will say Selected, e.g. Selected, US English or Selected, British English. If any are selected you don't want or if there are some you want that are not selected, just double tap on the language on the left side and it will be selected or deselected. Now, in order to put US English at the top of the list, find it in the list on the left, then flick right to the Reorder US English button. If you have Speak Hints enabled in the main Voiceover settings (it's the first item after Practice Area) Voiceover will say the following after you flick to the Reorder button: Double tap and hold, wait for the sound, then drag to rearrange So, once you are on the reorder button, double tap and hold it until you hear the TriTone just as you would do to move an app or remove an app from the app switcher. After the tone sounds just drag your finger straight up on the screen without lifting it first. Each time you drag a language above the one before it in the list you hear a short metallic sounding ping and Voiceover will announce Moved above and the name of the language. For example, let's assume you have British English at the very top of the list, then you have Australian English and then US English (I am using the English languages as examples, keep in mind that any other languages like French, German, Dutch etc. will be spoken in their language, so German is spoken not as German but as Deutsch. In my example you want to drag US English first above Australian English and then above British English. 1. Double tap and hold on the Reorder US English Button and wait for the tone 2. Drag your finger straight up slowly and by just a small distance. 3. You will hear a ping and Voiceover will say Moved above Australian English. 4. Drag on a bit further and you hear Moved above British English. Once you reach the top you can continue dragging and nothing happens, no more pings, no more announcements since you can't go any further. Now you can exit Settings and if you turn to the language rotor the languages will now appear in the order you set, your default language is always first and then the rest. Please note, this will not make whichever language you put at the top your default language, this you have to change in Settings, International.

Re: VO in iOS six question
Hi Stan, I think this means that your HQ voice hasn't yet downloaded. Plug it into power, with Wi-Fi on and the screen locked for a bit and then it should download your HQ. Then you will see that setting in your settings, but personally, I can't tell a difference yet.

Re: VO in iOS six question
Hi Sieghard, Thanks for that info. I have changed those settings and when I did it the phone went quiet and wouldn't do anything for a bit and then British English came back on. I changed it in the rotor back to US and hope it will stay that way. Though it still seems to indicate that my default is British English even though I have said just English like you said. I guess it doesn't take much effort to change it if it changes itsself back since it's in my rotor, just it never did that before so it's slightly irritating. Kirsten Sent from my iPhone On 22 Sep 2012, at 19:03, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Kirsten, You can change the voice under Internationals and keep the date format you prefer. In International you can change the following settings independently from each other: Language: this is the default language used by Voiceover Voice Control: this is the language you set for SIRI or stand-along voice dialing Keyboards: here you can select multiple keyboards and order them in the same way you can order the voices in the language rotor. I just use the main English keyboard and the Emoji keyboard to have easy access to emoticons. By the way, just noticed you can delete items here by flicking down, i.e. the new actions rotor works here. Region Format: Here you can select your country and this determines how your date and time is formatted/displayed. If you change this and then flick past the Calendar setting you find a region Format Example which displays how the date, time and phone numbers are formatted. I am in Canada, so I have the voice set to just English which means I use the Samantha HQ voice, I have SIRI set to English Canada and the region format also to Canada although I think that is pretty much the same as US. However, if you are in England and want to use Samantha I don't see why you can't select English as the language instead of British English, then set SIRI to English UK to make she understands your limy accent *smile* and the region format to United Kingdom.

Getting the native dictation function on the iPhone 4S to recognise my name…
Hi, As many, I love the dictation feature on my iPhone 4S, and I'm using it now. However, one problem I'm frequently experiencing is that the speech to text does not recognise how to spell my name accurately. I am in my own contacts, so I don't really understand why it keeps putting the vowels in the wrong place. I know it's probably to do with pronunciation, and I guess I need to work out how it wants me to pronounce my name so that it will put it in correctly, however it is my name and I pronounce it how I pronounce it. :) Is there a way of teaching it how I wanted to write it? Is there a way of making it take it from my address book correctly? I guess I will just have to write out manually if not, but the thing is, I keep forgetting, and I keep forgetting to check the spelling, because it sounds right-ish, so it keeps sending them with incorrect spelling because I have forgotten to correct it. :) Should I try to spell it out letter by letter four example?

Question about spam emails
Hi, Apologies for cross posting but my question is relevant to both lists. I regularly pull in my email using both mac and iPhone. Though I delete everything irrelevant based on the subject line and without opening, I am increasingly noticing an upsurge of spam. I am trying to move from BT (essentially yahoo) to gmail-which I understand is much better regarding spam. I am unable to do this currently without sighted assistance. Until then, are there any accessible apps or program's I could for mac mail or iPhone mail that would eradicate such junk? Thanks.

The questions are different each time, but it shouldn't refresh until you've double-tapped the question you want; written in the answer and then double-tapped 'done'. I found it made my phone run v slowly for a few mins, so if you can, before you go back to the APP store, empty your app switcher so you have nothing else running. Hope you sort it. Not sure why It's suddenly decided to do this and if it's only for paid apps-I'm sure I'll never remember the answers when I need them. Also, I forgot, the final step is to put in an email address, this cannot be the same as your apple one, as I don't have one I didn't do one and it was fine with this, but if you do have another one, it will use it to email you about security issues or something.

Re: iOS 5.1.1 is out Voiceover going silent bug
So it's happened to me twice in 24 hours. I was about to email and agree but decided to slow speech first, only to discover it already at 50% instead of what I thought of as 65%. I reduxwd it to 40 but can no longer cope with that slow. I'm fairly certain I have hq American though being in uk Daniel might be hq Daniel by default. How do I check? I personally don't think that making the speed down for 48 hrs will be any use as its more sporadic than that.

Converting wma to mp3 and playing on Downcast
Hi all, First, apologies for the cross posting. I've tried to resolve this problem, but I can't seem too, can anyone help? I have four wma files which I now can play on my mac using quick-time/perrien However, I really want these folders (audio) to transfer to my phone, in a podcast style. However, I can't change them to mp3 or m4a. When I try to export them into m4a to subsequently add to itunes on the Mac it says this media must be corrupted. It's fine. I tried renaming them as mp3 but that didn't work either. Then I thought that if I tried exporting them from my dropbox app on my iphone into downcast that might work, but of course, they are still in wma and I can't get them to play there. How can I get them into itunes so they will sync to my phone? How can I get them into mp3 or m4a so I can if nothing else put them through downcast and dropbox and get them on that way? Can anyone help? I need simple instructions, cos clearly I can't get it to work myself ... Thanks. Kirsten. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

slightly ot, trouble pairing bluetooth keyboards
Hi all, I am trying to use a mofii x310 bluetooth keyboard with my ipad 2 and iphone 4s. It is pairing fine but it seems to disconnect itself randomly. I'm used to keyboards staying connected, but this one wants me to put in a pairing code every few minutes. All the iphone, ipad and keyboard are new to me from today (though not to iphones and bluetooth keyboars). I connected it to the ipad first and tried my iphone to see if that had the same problem. The friend from whom I got the keyboard from says he had no trouble staying connected to the keyboard. Does anyone know if I'm supposed to play with some settings on both devices in order to get them constantly connected or remembered by the devices at least? Does anyone know anything about this particular brand of keyboard? Any help and advice much appreciated. Thanks.

Re: FaceTime on 4s not working
I've checked and can't see anything random, except phone number saying dimmed after it - did you say this didn't matter? I've discovered I can't FaceTime on my iPad or iPhone even though they're both set up. I tried turning off both FaceTime and the devices, but no difference. On 5 Jun 2012, at 00:54, Veronica Elsea veron...@laurelcreekmusic.com wrote: Here are a couple of hints about figuring this out. First, go into settings and look for FaceTime. In mine it's just after phone. Once you double tap on it, start swiping around and you should find, phone number to use for video calls, as well as email address. If it says dimmed by the phone number, that doesn't seem to bbe a ig deal. If it still says verifying, then you haven't been completely found by the network. I turned Facetime off, then reset my network settings, then turned Facetime back on and it found me again. I did not have to enter the number manually. It was so messy when I was working out the exact same problem that I ended up going through Apple Care and this is what they had me do. So the simplest thing to do actually might be to turn Facetime off, restart your phone, then turn Facetime back on to see if that fixes things. It just might do the trick. Anyway, hope this is a starting place at least.

Maintaining contacts and calendars question
Hi all, Probably the answer to this question is quite obvious, but I am seeking your opinion, because I don't want to do any damage. I have an MBP, iPad and 4S. I would like my contacts and calendars and notes, to appear on all of them. When I just had the Mac and a 3GS, I did not use iCloud. This was really because when in my windows days a few months back, I wanted to use outlook for keeping a record of my contacts and calendars etc, iCloud became a massive duplication. This was very annoying. So I switched off iCloud and left a pc and then my mac and the iPhone to do their thing. However, for some reason now, I am having issues syncing my contacts and calendar properly. I think it must be something to do with my iTunes. Can anyone help? I have recently used the multi edit app to sort out and organise my contacts on my iPhone. These are not transferring to my iPad when I sync with iTunes. It just has the old ones which have an extra 30 or 40 contacts I do not need. Also, they are not syncing with my Mac. My address book is the same as it was last week. Should I change a setting in iTunes? Or should I just use iCloud and have it sort it all out for me. I'm worried about having duplications again then. But, my major concern is my calendar, I have everything on there, and I take it everywhere with me. However, I need it to sync on all the machines so that wherever I am I have a clear record of what I need to be doing. Is it likely, because my contacts are not syncing properly, that my calendar is doing the same? I am worried that if I use iCloud, I will end up losing everything. Although iTunes is a pain, I know I can always get things back, if I lose things, like I did last weekend. If I use iTunes, what do I need to make sure my settings are in order for it to work properly? When I checked the sync contacts etc box in iTunes, there are lots of other checkboxes, and they seem to appear twice, four example notes, calendar, and contacts, do I need to check them multiple times in order for it to work properly? Which is my dominant machine? For example my most up-to-date calendars and notes and contacts are on my iPhone, but does my Mac think that it is the one in charge? Is there a way of getting it so that whenever I sync to my iPhone it replaces it on all of the machines so that that is always the latest version? Is this what iCloud will do? I am terrified of having multiple different versions of calendars and contacts et cetera and then ending up with the wrong set at the wrong time. What should I do? How do I sort out my settings? I have sent this to both lists, so sorry for the duplications for people. Many thanks Kirsten Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: voice-overs speech randomly going quieter was voiceover speech not returning to normal sometimes after ending a call
I get something similar too, it seems to be when perhaps I'm in twitter or audible. I'm sure there are other apps, I can't think of any. Voice-over randomly goes very very quiet and the only way to get it to change is to either restart the phone, although I'm not sure if that works actually,or to go to the sounds and alter the volume. My volume is always at the same and I always move up and down so it is back to what it should've been I've also noticed it has happened when I have used the quick key/to get voice-over back, the lock key six or seven times, which returns voice-over after having disappeared, but seems to make voice-over very quiet. I have only noticed this in the last few weeks, not at the same time is getting 5.1. So I don't know what's causing it or if it's part of the same voice-over bug.

Apple TV and AirPlay
Hi, does anyone know when you have an album playing on your iPhone and rooted to play through Apple TV, is there no way of stopping the Apple TV reading out each track as it starts to play? At the moment, when I route it through Apple TV the volume of the music is quite low, the only way to increase it as I can see at the moment, is to turn up the TV itself. However, this means that when every track starts, voice-over says extremely loudly, the name of each track and the album. It is very annoying and I am worried it is so loud that it might be heard by others in my block of flats. Can I stop voice-over telling me through the Apple TV what is now playing?

Hold your menu key down, for a second, you get the choice to turn voiceover on or off, and something else below that I forget what it is, but it's always the first choice. Hit the select key and turn it off and when you want to turn it on again, hold the menu key down, for a second and hit the select key again and it will come back on. If someone else has a better idea please let me know but that's what I ended up having to do. Thanks again and take care.

Question about the native music app
Hi, I have a bit of a random question to ask about when using the native music app on an iPhone 4s. For some reason every single album and song I have ever bought has loaded itself onto my iPhone even though I have removed some of them in the past-Not sure exactly when this was, as have only just seen it. I have bought albums on a combination of devices including ipod shuffle, iPhone 3gs and now my current iPhone as mentioned above. I have used this phone since June and work from icloud as I have an iPhone, ipad and a Mac and want them all to have the same stuff on. I no longer use itunes on my Mac as it always gives me problems, instead I use it on my iPhone to directly download music, and on my apple tv to download movies and tv programs. The actual problem I am having, since all my extra albums have reappeared, albums I do not want to remove from my library but do not currently want on my iPhone, is that for several of these albums, the actions menu and thus the delete button will not come up. I have searched through the rota to no avail. Neither will it work properly if I hold and swipe as used to be the delete gesture in the music app. How can I get rid of these albums yet keep them in my library? Will icloud keep putting them back when I backup every night? Is it because for the majority of these albums I had them on a different device previously? Any help here would be appreciated! I am amazed I haven't yet run out of room on the iPhone, but think I May run out soon if I can't overwrite some of my existing music. By the way, I don't have itunes match and don't want it either!

Reducing the amount of music on my iPhone
I have certain albums on my iPhone which will not delete through the actions menu. Neither will it work to delete them using the tap and hold and slide method. They just will not go. I think some of this is to do with iCloud but I cannot get into my recent iCloud backup to delete them from there. A lot of them came originally from my iPod shuffle, or my previous iPhone, and I don't know if this has anything to do with it, although other things from a similar time period will delete no problem. I was wondering if, to save effort, and because I have hardly any space left on my iPhone and would like to make some, if I went into Usage, storage, music and selected delete all if I could then go into iTunes and re-download only the ones I want. I know this may sound time-consuming, but I'm prepared to do that if it will work. To clarify, I would like to go into the usage part of the settings and delete all the music on my iPhone. I would then go into the iTunes app into purchases and download the ones I wanted on my iPhone. Does this sound like it would work? I don't know why delete does not work for me and some of these albums, but it is pretty continuous. I have tried at least for the last year.

The iX500 is a Sheetscanner (no flatbed) with a very small footprint, it can scan double sided pages in one pass at a rate of 25 pages per minute and has an impressive feature set. Here is a link to the Scansnap iX500: http://scanners.fcpa.fujitsu.com/scansnap11/iX500.html I installed the scanner yesterday and it was very straight forward. The initial setup has to be done on the computer and I believe this scanner would not work with something like Openbook directly since it uses its own driver instead of a standard TWAIN driver. One could of course scan the image and then import and recognize the image in Openbook. After I connected it to my WiFi I opened the app on my iPhone 4S and the scanner was immediately recognized. As soon as I opened the app, Jaws now says “Connection of iX500 has been switched to the mobile device”. If I put a page or for that matter up to 50 pages into the paper infeed tray and then tap the scan button in the app which, by the way appears to be fully accessible, the scanner starts feeding pages through at a rate of just over 2 seconds a page. The scanned file then appears in the file list of the app and it has a default name that is the current date and time. When I double tapped on the file the “Open In” dialogue popped up and I was able to open the scan in Prizmo and recognize it… beautiful. As soon as I exit the app Jaws says “iX500 is ready to scan” which means it has disconnected from the app and is once again ready to scan to the PC. The primary use of that scanner at my business is to scan all paperwork, invoices, statements and so on since I only keep digital copies and no paper copies. Typically my staff does this, but on the PC it is also very simple, I can just put a page or pages in the tray, press the scan button on the scanner and the pages are scanned. At the end a screen pops up and I can select to Save to a Folder, send the scan to email, send it to the printer (for photocopying) or I can directly to applications like Word, Excel etc. The Save to Folder function is simple, it shows a Save As dialogue with the default file name (date and time) which can be edited, then there is a Browse button where I can select the folder where I want to save the scan. Once I press Save that window closes and I can start the next scan from the scanner. You can even feed embossed cards like credit cards through the feeder and it will take paper as small as a business card and as wide as 8.5. For really small or flimsy receipts the scanner comes with a carrier sheet. It consists of 2 transparent sheets of thin plastic which are glued together only at the short top edge. You put the receipt in between and then feed the carrier sheet through with the laminated edge going in first… once again brilliant and there is no need to use a glue stick and glue a small piece of paper onto a bigger piece so you can feed it through the scanner. Fujitsu even makes a portable Scansnap which is not much bigger than a large role of Saran wrap in its cardboard box and which I think costs $200, but it’s USB only. If they came out with a new model which maybe could use Bluetooth to connect to the phone and hence the Scansnap app, this would be the ultimate portable scanning solution except of course if it is
Accessibility/readability of google books
When I refer here, in the subject line, to accessibility or readability of Google books, I do not mean Google play books or any other related e-books. Google books seem to be set and I believe are either pictorial representations/graphical representations of the books and therefore are unreadable to screen readers such as voice-over. I have found a book I am desperately seeking but it is only available on Google books, andnot in any other format. Before I give up on it, I wanted to see if anybody has had any experiences of being able to read these books? Often, you canget a Previous page button and next page button but it does not seem to speak any of the actual text on the pages. This is my experience both with jawsand with VO on my iPhone. I just thought I'd check to see if anybody has had any different experiences. Thanks in advance.

Re: Accessibility/readability of google books
Thank you Teresa, you have confirmed my suspicions. Penny, I think you might be referring to books which are now called Google play books. I have an app for those which works well, as well as Kindle of course and nook and IBooks. I think, in that regard, I have every app Going for the purposes of book reading.

It wouldn't talk to me yesterday evening! I had to use TapTapSee… Which, I know it's changing the topic, but I found extremely useful.

Re: Talking Goggles and taptapsee
The video mode is the thing that has always made me prefer Goggles over TapTapSee, but I like the fact that you can take repeated pictures it TapTapSee and that you usually get an answer and it's quite quick. If Goggles comes back online then I will continue to use them both interchangeably.

Re: Talking Goggles again?
I am personally getting particularly fed up by the insinuations, which certainly, Richard andSiegard Have been making more than once today that people were merely complaining. Yesterday's thread was for a lot of people the way of establishing, as Christopher put it so well, that there was a problem. In the messages I read, and certainly in the messages that I posted, there were no complaints. Merely a gratitude that our issue had been confirmed. Some of us, clearly had more time than others, if we can complain about suppose it complaints! Please stop the bitching! We have established it does not work, we are working as a community, which is what we are meant to be doing on this list, and we have established that the issue will be resolved in time. I, personally, do not want to read any more complaints about people complaining. As that is pointless and has not actually occurred anyway in this instance.

Re: Bad experience with iTunes Store support regarding app refund
Sieghard, It's rough that you've had this sort of response, and even more odd that you haven't had the refund and you haven't been able to get hold of anyone else. I wonder, is iTunes country specific at all? I think I always assumed it was central, but I wonder if that's what makes a difference. Personally, I've never attempted to get a refund. I once had a situation where a newsstand magazine was not accessible, I contacted the developer and they told me they had no intention of making it accessible and that I would need to contact iTunes. It was only £1.99 or something so I decided, on that occasion, not to bother. I totally understand your frustration though particularly as we know that many other people on this list have had successful refunds. I am particularly intrigued by the way you have been dealt with, it really does seem at odds with the whole of Apple's policy. I thought they were always very into voice-over and although they don't make it as easy as on the Mac to make apps accessible, I thought that they were quite on our side. I really think this woman seems not to have bothered to read your email or to understand the implication. The very fact that she talks about you checking the description is crazy, we all know that accessibility is not mentioned in descriptions and that is something a lot of people have campaigned for… I really think this must be some sort of generic response. That is a shame, and again, Apple have, in the past, been quite good with personal service. That is why I wonder if it is country specific. I cannot comment like I said, as I haven't had any refunds, I wonder if there is somewhere higher you can go? Someone more in management? I hope you get this sorted. You are someone who usually takes the plunge and checks out lots of these apps for which we are all very grateful for all your feedback, it is a shame that you, and others like you, will now be put off doing this because it is too much of a risk and too expensive! I don't normally advocate for android, but I believe that they have a refund policy of 15 minutes where if you don't like it or it isn't accessible or just generally don't want it within the first 15 minutes, you can get your money back. Apple are missing a big trick in not doing something similar. And as we are people who really and truly advocate for apple and the accessibility of the products, Apple are also digging themselves into a hole if they are going to start being funny now. I'm sure this is just one person! Hopefully… But the fact that it has happened at all is worrying. Kirsten Sent from my iPhone On 2 Aug 2013, at 07:09, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hello List, Requesting a refund for an app which turns out not to work with Voiceover has come up a few times and the iTunes Store support email has been posted in connection with that. So I thought I post my recent experience with contacting iTunes Store support via their email. I had bought a couple of package tracking apps in order to find out which one I liked best. I have been using Track This which is awesome, but I am in Canada and for some reason they don’t support Purolator and CanPar which are both major carriers here. I contacted Track This support twice and never received a reply. Anyhow, back to iTunes Store support. I provided all the information including order numbers, purchase date, my Apple Id etc. I explained how I really enjoyed my iPhone and the fantastic accessibility, but that unfortunately these two apps I purchased were not voiceover friendly and there was no Light version offered which I could have tried first. I also mentioned that I contacted both developers and after almost a week had not received a reply. In short, I was friendly, explained everything and even waited to see if the developers would reply to see if they were willing to make Voiceover improvements. I received a prompt reply in which the agent explained that all app sales are final, but that given the situation they would refund me the $6.72 or whatever it was for the 2 apps. However, she also continued to give me links as to their terms and conditions and said that this was a one-time curtocy and that in the future they could not provide any more refunds and that it was up to me to make sure I didn’t turn on one-click ordering and accidently purchase apps or read the app description to be sure it was what I wanted. It was strange because all of this gave me the impression this person did not at all get the point about Voiceover and all that, but on the other hand she said they would give me a refund given the situation. According to what she said I should see the refund back on my account within 48 hours and since both apps were purchased using store credit it would come back as store credit. This is now 2 weeks ago and I replied twice to the initial message to explain that I
Thanks to the list
I just wanted to say thanks to you all. I needed to get a reminders app so that I take my new medication on time. And thanks to this list, I was able to use the archives and find a previous thread for exactly what I wanted. I tried pill reminder but I didn't find it accessible. But one of the other apps recommended was alarmed so I am using that and it seems fantastic. So, thank you everyone. That's exactly what this list is for!

Talking Goggles – thank you
Dear sparkling apps, Thank you so very much for updating talking Goggles. I know due to various things which were beyond your control during the last week, you had to work quite hard to make the app available to us and accessible again. I know many people who love this app and I am one of them! I am so glad it is once again working. As well as emailing to thank you, I thought I'd better try the app just before I did send this. I found I could not get it to work, even though I had done the update. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and that has made it work again. I don't know if anyone else has experienced the same thing, but I thought I'd better let you know. I suspect that the update didn't work properly, I'm sure this is probably down to either my iPhone or Apple. But I wanted to make you aware of it all the same. It is now working perfectly! Thank you.

Re: IDocs
Please could the person who sent the original message about IDocs let us know who the developer is, and perhaps copy in the app description… When I put IDocs into the search facility of the App Store, 12 different apps with the word IDocs in come up… There are at least two or three which are probable… And we wouldn't want to buy the wrong one.

Re: Alerts during a call?
Am I the only person who remembers a time when an alert sound would sound but voice-over did not read out the message while you were in a call? Perhaps there was some ability to do this which now does not exist, I think though that it was just the way things worked back then, whenever then is that I remember. Am I also the only person who, whilst in a call, does not seem to be able to get triple home to work to turn voice-over off, even though it will do it in every other time. Often, I cannot turn speech off with the finger gesture either. My phone when I take it away from my ear, does a funny click buzz clunk sound and therefore does not do the usual thing. I seem to remember that this was an issue with iOS six…? That people have complained on this list in the past that they cannot turn voice-over off while on a call. I am not talking about turning it off permanently, I am talking about stopping it Reading alerts. And I totally agree with the likes of Sieghard ETC, that there should be a setting in the settings which asks you whether you whether you would like it to read out an alert during a call. I don't have a problem with this at any other time, but I was leaving a voicemail for somebody last week and I could not stop it, even by tapping the screen as you would normally, from reading out the entire, very long, text message while I was trying to leave my voicemail. This meant the person on the other end, to whom I was leaving a message, also heard my text message which might be personal to me or even been about them! why is that fair? Why can there not be an option to turn off? No one else has that issue. I love voice over. But as I said, I'm pretty certain it didn't always do this. It is only recently this has started to annoy me so I find it very interesting that someone else has brought up on the list at the very time I am thinking about it and have been thinking about emailing Apple. I'm glad to know that others have done so before me. I am not so glad that like so many other things, Apple have not been able to fix it yet. I shall write imminently.

HiChuck, Of course I want Voiceover to announce who is calling, but as soon as I answer the call I'd like it to shut up. Turning off speech is a work-around and it's OK as far as it goes, but as I said, if I am out and about I either have my Bluetooth earpieceor the Apple Earpods hanging around my neck and I answer calls that way without ever touching the phone and if it's tucked away then having to turn off speech is not convenient. There are of course also those cases where I need speech to be on because maybe I need to look up a phone number while I am on a call or check something else. As I said, I am fully aware of the work-arounds, but just because I found an often inconvenient fix for a problem doesn't mean it's a solution and that the problem should not be addressed. I also can say for sure that from the responses I read in previous discussions there are way more people who like Tess, Donna, myself and others feel this is an annoying issue as opposed to the few who said they like it the way it is. I think it's OK to hear whatever sound an incoming email, text or push notification makes and if I am really so desperate to know while I am still talking on the phone who emailed or texted me, then I can open mail, messages or the notification centre and check. Otherwise I can concentrate on who I am talking to and once I am done I can check what happened while I was on the phone.

Re: jotting things down in lists over a period of time and sending the whole list
I was going to suggest the same thing as lisa. But, remember, you can always dictate your note like you would with any other field you can edit. Or, of course, you could write in Fleksy and paste the text into notes. I use notes quite often over a long period. For example, to write down information for my doctor about my condition on different days. Or, to monitor and keep an accessible record of my guide dog's weight, so I return to this every six months and add a new date and weight at the bottom of the list. The great advantage of using the built in app is that it syncs between my devices and can also be kept in Icloud. And you can share it with yourself or someone else via email and maybe text too if you need to.

Re: VO issues when on a call-was Triple Click VO off during a call
Hi, I tried to do this last night while on a call to my mum, to stop it reading out a text I was receiving. But though it didn't turn off VO and it did put it to speaker for a few seconds, something even more weird happened: It kept doing this buz/click type thing, and it did it over and over again intermitently during my call. My mum noticed it too, she said it sounded like I was being cut off/dropping out of the call. I have noticed this same sound when a call connects, IE. when I answer a call, or just before a call I am ringing is connected. It is something new with ios6 (running on a 4S), does anyone else get this? It seems impossible to turn VO off during a call now-I will have to resort to the speech off gesture instead. which Kirsten Edmondson kirsten.edmond...@btinternet.com 07867978791 On 26 Sep 2012, at 18:53, Katey Glass katey...@gmail.com wrote: Hello all, I'm using an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.0 and while on iOS 5 I was able to use VO to engage a call and then once the call was connected use the tripple click home to turn VO off during a call to prevent it from reading my texts into my ear during a call. Now however, when I do this once the call has engaged it throws the call to speaker even with my ear on the phone itself. So I press home again 3 times and it is still in speaker mode but VO turnes off. I then have to press the speaker button on my screen, which I can see as I have a little vision.

Found another iOS 6.01 bug can anyone confirm?
Hi, I noticed this the other day and was wondering if anybody could confirm it before I email apple. I'm not sure when it started so can't guarantee that it wasn't in iOS six, but pretty certain it didn't happen in five. If on your home screen you swipe to mail, and you've got new messages ,it used to put the number beside it, four example it would say mail five new items. Now, even though I know I have new email, when I swipe to the icon, it just says mail, and does not say how many items. I have not noticed this with other things such as phone messages twitter Facebook etc, in fact, they do all put the number beside, such as Messages one. So it seems odd mail doesn't seem to do that too any more. Has anyone noticed this too? Thanks.

Re: New HSBC APP
Fast balance is accessible. I use it regularly on my iPhone with VO. Kirsten Sent from my iPhone On 8 Dec 2012, at 16:02, Kawal Gucukoglu kawa...@me.com wrote: Dear Listers.

So am wondering if any one is trialing this app especially for Voice Over in the US? I am asking this because their last application called Fast Balance was not accessible with Voice Over and I hope their new application will not suffer the same fate. I would appreciate any information from anyone to tell me that this app is being trialed and proving successful. Thank you in advance.

Re: Fast Balance - Was Re: New HSBC APP
I think I found it by searching for HSBC in the App Store. It might be UK only of course though. I think it only came up with the name fast balance once you had downloaded, you know, one of those apps that changes its name annoyingly. It doesn't do much really, tells you how much you have, and gives you a few transactions I think, the last five. Apparently you can top up your phone with it, but I don't need to do that stuff never tried. The other annoying thing about it is, I have an HSBC credit card and I can't see how much I have on that. You can't do any transactions in anything or make any payments, but you can see what has come in and out of your bank very recently. To make it really worth while though, you have to check regularly, every two days maybe depending on the amount of action in your bank of course.

Re: flash, searching on internet
This may sound like a rather naive question, but I never knew before that you could use flash on iOS, so I am seriously going to investigate the apps on the below link. However, a lot of what was referred to on the website was video and photos, is it also possible to use these apps to read magazines that are in flash content four example? Kirsten Sent from my iPhone On 6 Apr 2013, at 22:32, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Pablo, You don’t have to Jailbreak your phone to use websites with flash content. The Photon browser which you can download in the app store supports flash. Keep in mind that I never tried it, I heard about it on the Today in iOS Podcast and since I couldn’t remember the name I just did a quick Google search for the following: iOS internet browsers with flash support The second search result had the following title, the link follows: Top Flash-Enabled Browsers for the iPhone http://ipod.about.com/od/bestiphoneapps/tp/Top-iPhone-Flash-Browsers.htm The person who posted this writes “Some people claim that because the iPhone doesn't support Flash, you can't get the full Internet on it. But with these apps--all of which claim to bring Flash to the iPhone--that's no longer true. The question, of course, isn't whether they can play Flash, but whether they can play it well enough to make it usable. That's a different story.” Following that is a list of apps you can download which are browsers that support flash. I guess you just have to experiment not only how well they handle flash, but also to their accessibility. You can always check www.applevis.com to see if any of the browsers mentioned have been reviewed on Applevis.
