Re: best epub reader app for I Phone and accessibility?

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Dan,

I guess Gutemberg project uses the so-called "social DRM", out of 
copyright protection.
For this kind of ebooks the Apple free downloadable app "Ibooks" 
could be suitable enough, but only in case of simple contents books, 
I mean especially novels and litterature books in general.
In short, all that books readable almost sequentially from start to 
end, from top to bottom.


Unfortunately, in case you need reading more complex books, the 
Ibooks app often fails, not showing you all the features of the book.
I'm mainly thinking of books filled with tables, footnotes, indexes 
with nested items, headings, meaningful images, refeences and so on.
Ibooks seems not to recognize tables and consequently they cannot be 
red according to their structure, by column or by line, but just 
sequentially line per line.
The text description tags of images, when present, are ignored as 
well as nested paragraphs in an index.
Setting the VO rotor in navigation by headings you are not allowed to 
jump to next or previous heading by the usual one finger down or up 
sliding gesture.


I have found more suitable to reading Epub format, but not copyright 
protected ebooks, the app called "Ilike2Read", downloadable not for 
free, despite I did not find a complete accessible and usable app 
yet, capable of taking advantage of all the Ebooks navigation features.
Not to mention Ebooks Adobe DRM protected that are almost 
inaccessible to VoiceOver in Iphone and other apple devices.
Only the "OverDrive" app seems dealing a little with that kind of 
books, but with bunch of shortcomings.


Of course, this is just my personal experience,
hoping it could help.

Mario.

Spacebar+1-4 dots command actually unlocks the screen, but only after having

Re: Opening a dropbox file in access note

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Kimber,

I guess you have to open the .txt file in DropBox and then push the 
button "Export". You should see the AccessNote option listed as one 
of the export choicies.
But this is so easy that I guess you are facing some more complex 
trouble I cannot figure out.

I hope my reminder could help you.

Warmly,

Mario.

Can somebody help?

Re: Opening a dropbox file in access note

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Kimber,

Usually I do these steps:

1) I run DropBox app;
2) I locate the folder where the .txt file is;
3) I click on the folder name to show its file list;
4) I locate and click the .txt file I wish to open;
5) after it's opened, in the low part of the screen I will find four 
buttons. One of them is "Export", I guess the third.

6) I click the "Export" button;
7) from the opened menu, I click "Open in";
8) I will see the list of apps to edit a .txt files;
9) one of that apps is "accessNote";
10 I click on it and I will have the file in the AccessNote app, I 
guess in edit mode.


I hope it could help you too.

Warmly,

Mario.

Conversely, when I open access note (I mean the app itself), I'm not
sure how to find the file I want to work on. How do I tell access note
to look in the dropbox folder?

RE:Re: transfering contacts from nokia to iPhone?

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hello Simon,

about two years ago I did the following:

1) select all contacts on Nokia and copy them in the Nokia mass storage

2) connect the Nokia phone to a Windows computer as mass storage

3) locate into the Nokia phone the folder where your contacts have been copied 
(something like "other/contacts"

4) select and copy all contacts files .vcf into an empty folder on the computer

5) pack all of them into a single file with extension .vcf by issuing the Dos 
command: copy *.vcf allcontacts.vcf/B

6) send the allcontacts.vcf file as attachment to the iphone email account

7) download the mails into the iphone

8) locate and open the message with the allcontacts.vcf file attached to

9) open the .vcf file from inside the message and the iphone will ask if you 
want to add the contacts contained in it to yours.

Some other friends of mine successfully experienced this method too.

I hope it will help.

Mario.

Good morning, Sarah.
Sadly, the answer to your question is a no. 
Clearly, they can make a keyboard equivalent, so 
I'm not quite sure why they have yet to create a 
braille display keyboard equivalent. Perhaps in iOS 7? LOL.
Actually, I think Apple has a bit more of a 
serious issue to work on in that they need to 
fix the way VoiceOver no longer handles headings 
properly, so this may get put on the back burner 
for awhile. Maybe, and this is a crazy idea I have, they could fix both. LOL.


Cheers from the big Apple,

Introducing myself

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi everybody,



just a few lines to introduce myself as a new member of this group.

My name is Mario and I live in Italy.
I work as director of the "F. Cavazza" institute of the blind, 
located in bologna.
I'm personally and professionally interested to technological devices 
and software for blind and low vision people.

I'm sure this group could help to improve my knowledge and expertise.
From the other hand, I hope I'll be able to contribute to spread 
some useful information to other group members when I'll have the 
chance to do it.


Thank you for your attention, patience and help.

M.

Re: Some more Braille questions.

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Caleb,

thank you for your good work.
In my opinion Brailletouch represents the most 
flexible aproach to having a virtual Braille keyboard onscreen.
Nontheless I suppose Brailletouch users are 
expecting some useful improvements such as:


- various braille table implementation, according 
to european/national litterary and computer braille codes;


- some simple editing function allowing to move 
the "cursor" back and forth along the writing 
text without being forced to delete all backwards characters;


- the translation of menus and guide in languages other than english.

I perfectly know these new features would require 
major development efforts, but they would 
contribute to spread BrailleTouch to many more Braille users around the world.


I hope these suggestions could help.

Warm greetings.

M.

Braille Sense On Hand

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hello everybody,


I need to connect my Iphone to the Braille Sense OnHand Braille notetaker.
I have followed all the steps listed in the Hims OnHand manual, but 
the Iphone doesn't see the Braille device.


I've an Iphone 4 and a 6.3 IOS version.

On despair, just for test, I tried to connect the Braille Sense to a 
Windows PC, an Android phone, a Nokia N95 and all of them regularly 
found the device that means its bluetooth component seems working as expected.


Some ideas?
Some suggestions?

Help will be highly appreciated.

TIA.

Mario.

Re: Braille Sense On Hand

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Adi,

unfortunately, in the "on "hand" device there are only two screen reader 
terminal options: 
bluetooth serial port and USB port.
Today I had the opportunity to try another Iphone 4S of a friend of mine, 
reaching the same negative result.

Thank you for your help!

I heartily wish you the maximum success, hoping the hebrew voice will be 
integrated into the Idevices soon.

Mario.

Re: Braille Sense On Hand

[Mario Barbuto]

 Hi Robert,

I suspect the OnHand works correctly with Iphone 5, but not with the 4 and 4S.
In fact a friend of mine living in Milan connects 
OnHand and Iphone 5 successfully, while I did'nt  neither to 4 nor to 4S.
Tomorrow I hope I'll have the opportunity  to try 
with an Iphone 5 and my own OnHand.
After that test and according to its result, I'll 
get intouch with you offlist for more help, 
taking advantage of your kind invitation.


Thank you very much indeed for your helpfulness.

M.

Re: Braille Sense On Hand

[Mario Barbuto]

After a strong struggle, I solved the problem 
according to the instructions provided by Hims.
I mean performing an hard reset of the Iphone 
device, long pressing both together the Home and 
ScreenLock buttons for about ten seconds.
After that, the Braille Sense On Hand appears in 
the list of VoiceOver bluetooth visible devices ready to pairing as usual.


Thank you very much indeed to people who gave me ideas and suggestions.

Warmly,

Mario.

Re: The Apple Braille Crisis. It's Got to be Fixed for our Kids

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Jonathan,

thank you very much indeed for sharing your entry and for the ideas issued in 
it.

To those, I'd like to add some few items drawing people attention to the very 
poor management of Braille reading in IOS:

a) Braille refresh often dramatically slows down while right panning;

b) panning left while in the last Braille window of a paragraph, will bring the 
display to the beginning of that paragraph instead of the previous 14/18/32 
characters of it, acting as a "beginning of paragraph" command instead of 
PanLeft command;

c) there isn't an option like "no word wrap", allowing the Braille reader to 
take advantage of all its Braille cells while right/left panning;

d) there isn't an option to automatically stop VO talking whenever a Braille 
display reading button is pressed.
  
Just to list the major inconveniences or limitations I find in the IOS Braille 
support.

Warmly,

Mario.

Re: braille displays?

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Alia,

I have had the chance to test various Braille displays connected to the Iphone 
during the last months.
Despite in my opinion VoiceOver still offers a poor Braille support, I'd like 
to indicate you the Focus 14 from Freedom Scientific:

14 eight dots Braille cells;
cursor rooting functions;
eight Braille keys plus a spacebar for Braille input;  various function keys;
20 hours battery life while  operated;
quick recharge time, even from the Iphone charger;
Bluetooth and USB connections;
less than ten hz wheigh (240 g) and very small in size;
practical carrying and protectiog case;
goodlooking aspect  and not too expensive in price;
very efficient support for Jaws screen reader for Windows;
support for BrailleBack screen reader for Android devices.

I hope this information will help you.

Mario.

Re: For Alia was Re: braille displays?

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Erik and all,

of course I can't offer you the opportunity to see one Esys Braille 
device in Toronto,
but I could give some information on it derived from my direct 
personal experience.


EuroBraille produces different Esys models from twelve to forty KGS 
cells, equipped with eight dots and cursor routing.

Esys has Eight Braille rounded keys;
one spacebar and one function key;
two joysticks to the right and left side of the Braille line;
two or more thumb rotors.

The Esys display come in a very light, but solid metallic case of 
various sizes, according to the number of the Braille cells.
It comes also with a protective soft pocket especially used for 
transportation and safety.

It offers Bluetooth and USB connection.
The battery could be recharged through the USB port or a USB recharger.

Esys displays have also some independent internal functions like 
editor, calculator, alarm clock, calendar, etc...

They mount a micro SD card up to 2GB for file and data storing.

In my opinion, the Braille reading is comfortable, whilst the writing 
process is sometimes less accurate due to the keyboard bad reacting.
The editor's internal functions like searching text and moving to a 
marker slow down depending on the file size, while the other internal 
functions seem working  well.

VoiceOver, Jaws and NVDA work very well, as expected.
The battery life is too short: no more than five or six hours per charge.
The technical service seem to be expensive and not enough fast.
The price is rather expensive too.

I hope this helps.

Mario.

Re: I Found a Braille command for sliding to unlock in IOS7

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Teresa,

thank you for your information.

Actually the Braille command dots 2-4-6-space corresponds to the 
three-finger left swipe and it works in all the situations where that 
swiping gesture is required, for example to scroll on the desktop pages.


Warmly,

Mario.

Hi, all,

I discovered this on my own. Since I found that the dots-1-4-space 
doesn't work anymore for sliding to unlock in IOS7, and noting that 
one uses a three-finger swipe to the left to slide to unlock, I 
decided to try the Braille equivalent, which is dots-2-4-6-space, 
and it works great. :)

RE:Transferring contacts from a Nokia N82 to an iPhone 5s while preserving labels

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Pranav,

- save all the contacts into the Nokia 82 mass storage; 
- join them in a single .vcf file;
- send it to yourself as attachment in a mail;
- pick that mail up by your Iphone email client;
- open the .vcf attachment;
- answer "yes" when it asks for creating new contacts.

Many months ago, this procedure worked quite well for me without data losses or 
misplacements.

I hope this will help.

Warmly,

Mario.

Re: Transferring contacts from a Nokia N82 to an iPhone 5s while preserving labels

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Brian,

ou course you must have contacts in your Nokia Symbian phone.
Select and save all of them to the phone mass storage.
Connect that storage to a Windows computer and use the Dos command:

copy *.vcf allfiles.vcf/B

Now all your contacts are collected in the single file allfiles.vcf.

Proceed as indicated in my previous message.

All the best!

Mario.

Re: Setting brightness to 0 on Kindle app bug

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Rick,

it is enough to set the brightness to a value 
less than 100 to produce the effects you 
described: the left and right flick gestures do not work anymore.
Anyway, you could continue to use the various 
menu options moving your finger around the screen 
directly on the menu choices and tap them.
To get back the menu to normal, I mean, to turn 
the left/right single finger flicks working as 
usual, just set the Kindle app brightness value to 100 again.

This way, in my experience, the app reinstall process is not needed.

Mario.

I'm pretty sure someone else posted regarding 
this, I think it was Raul.  I'm seeing the following:


If I go into the Kindle app View options 
available from the double tap menu, and set 
brightness to 0 to conserve battery life, the 
entire double tap menu is reduced to only 1 
option which is return to book.  I found this both on my iPhone and iPad Mini.


The only way I was able to get the menu back to 
normal was to delete the app from my device and reinstall.


Just mentioning it here in case anyone else runs 
into this.  Note that reinstalling the app fixes 
it and you don't lose anything, not even your last read place in your books.

Re: Adding a VCF Attachment to Contacts

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Bill,

tap on the  .vcf file as you wish to open it.
It would have to ask if you want to add the contacts contained in it 
into your  contact list.

I did that successfully with an iPhone 4.

Hoping it helps.

Re: Braille typing apps

[Mario Barbuto]

Ari, if you prefer, you can change that in the 
app options, setting upside down the fingers position scheme.


More generally speaking, despite I don't use 
these apps as my primary keyboard I find them 
useful in some situations, especially in case of long input process.

The major inconvenience I find is the poor editing functions.
Brailletouch and BraillePad are almost similar, 
except the last one is available for free.


Mario.

Re: Selecting Text Using a Braille Display?

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Teresa,

I'd be happy I'm making a mistake, but I'm afraid VoiceOver does not support 
text selection functions like those you are looking for, such as from cursor to 
end of text or from cursor to beginning.
Actually I cannot understand why VO does not support them, but that is.
I don't understand many other things too, involving VoiceOver way of working, 
such as, for example, no word wrap while reading in Braille  or a gradual, but 
continouus slow down panright advance while reading in Braille, specially long 
sentences.
Sometimes I ask myself if people helping Apple to develop VO Braille interface 
is really using it in its daily work.

  

Mario.

Hi, Richard,

Thanks much. I'm familiar with those commands, but they only select character, 
word, and line, depending on the rotor setting. I'd like to select larger 
chunks of text, including all, from cursor to end, and from cursor to beginning.

Thanks,
Teresa

RE:RE: Questions concerning using email on the iPhone.

[Mario Barbuto]

Yes, Sarah, you are right! But when you have hundreds lines to remove from a 
text, this way I wish you "good luck!" and "see you tomorrow!".

The lack of very usual text editing functions, actually, in my opinion, 
represents a boring limitation of IOS system and VO screen reader.

Mario.

RE: RE: Questions concerning using email on the iPhone.

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Sieghard,

of course, I don't want to compare two pieces of technology so 
different like a computer and a mobile phone.
I do completely agree with you the touchscreen systems have less 
flexibility and a low range of features, including editing functions.
But some very easy to implement editing functions I'm sure will help 
the users and will not cost too much from the programming side.
Christopher, for example, already suggested a very simple way for 
having comfortable editing functions to select blocks of text like in 
Emacs editor.

The same way, I guess many other blind users would have clever suggestions too.

Actually, my idea is even simpler than that Christopher suggested.
In fact, I'd appreciate just a couple of new functions included into 
the edit menu:


"Select from cursor to end of text";
"Select from cursor to beginning of text".

This way, while editing an email answer, for example, you could 
quickly and easily select and delete the long tail of consecutive 
previous Replies, often consisting of hundreds text lines.


To finish, roughly speaking, it is a good idea to take a look at 
other touchscreen systems like Android, to see if better editing 
solutions could be implemented in IOS too, although Apple 
accessibility developers recently seem to me a little less sensitive 
to users suggestions.
I'll investigate the Android next weeks with the friendly help of 
some other blind users certainly higher experienced than me in using 
that system.


Warmly,

Mario.

Hi Mario,

Might I ask how you would suggest this can be improved? What gestures would
you like to see for selecting text and are there other touch screen devices
which offer a better experience? I guess I should rephrase this, do Android
phones offer a more user friendly experience when it comes to selecting text
since to my knowledge those are the only other somewhat accessible touch
screen devices out there? I have never used an Android device so forgive my
ignorance, but is selecting text and copy/cut/paste even accessible for a
blind user on an Android phone?

With a bit of practice I find it relatively easy to set my rotor to lines
and then use multiple pinch out gestures one after another to select a fair
bit of text. When you are talking about hundreds of lines then sure, I agree
that this would be a challenge, but then again I do have a computer and
while my iPhone is awesome and I can do lots of things with it, some things
are still done more efficiently on the computer and I would hazard a guess
and say that this holds true even for sighted people.


Regards,
Sieghard

  Hi Sarah,

thank you for your useful notification.
Perhaps Shift+Option+DownArrow  will select from cursor to end of text?
Are there, corresponding braille keyboard keystroke combinations for 
these commands?


Regards.

Mario.

After doing some experimenting last night, I found that, on a

appears to select all text from the current position to the top. 
Then pressing backspace will delete that chunk of text. I didn't 
test this on a huge document, but it's a nice and quick command if 
one wants to remove the headers in an Email reply.

Re: Action games for iOS devices

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Alan,

I installed STB Chrome that promises to be a very funny game.
Unfortunately, something must be wrong in my actions because I cannot 
read the values the nine buttons assume after you tap on each of them.

In fact, running the game from scratch, the nine buttons are labeled as
Mechanical clock T1 to mechanical clock T9.
After I roll the dice and get its  total result, every following tap 
on one of the nine buttons produce the tapped button itself changes 
its label and it simply becomes "Button".
I didn't find any right way to know the numeric value of each button, 
after having tapped it.

My IOS system is updated to the last version, while my Iphone is 4.
Some suggestions or ideas?
Where I'm making mistake?

Thank you.

Mario.

Re: Action games for iOS devices

[Mario Barbuto]

Thank you, Donna!
I guess it's better to renounce for the moment.

Alan, please, don't apologize...
The programer of the game should do it, instead...

Mario.

I have this same problem with STB chrome. The problem seems to come 
and go without any reason. I have been able to just  work around the 
game. After rolling the dice when you go through the boxes and VO 
announces the boxes as being labled as T1, T2, T3 etc this is the 
same as when VO will announce the boxes as properly labeled 1-9. So 
in my observation of playing the game on a daily basis and the game 
responding differently with VO with any game play on any given day I 
can say that this is a flaw in the game itself. You could try 
clearing the game from the app switcher before opening the game to 
play. This helps sometimes but isn't a cure all fix.


Happy rolling!

Donna

Re: Introduction And File Storage Questionn

[Mario Barbuto]

  Hi Desi,

There are various apps you can sync in DropBox having your stored 
files available everywhere and everytime, even out of wireless 
connection, but with a 3G active.
I have used almost successfully AccessNote, Write2, PlainText and 
some others, you can easily find in the AppleStore.
These apps create their own folder inside the DropBox folder where 
they store the files.

Take into consideration they only manage txt format files, unfortunately...
They can also operate offline, syncing the new files when the phone 
gets its connection wireless or 3G again.
Each of them isn't fully accessible; at any rate, all of them could 
be managed almost efficiently using VoiceOver and a little patience.

Warmly,
Mario.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Desi Noller and I live in Phoenix Arizona.  I have an 
iMac, an iPhone 4S, and a 4th Generation iPod Touch.  My husband who 
is sighted also uses an iMac, iPhone 4S, and a 2nd Generation 
iPad.  So, I guess you could say we have become a total Apple family.


Recently, after some very unfortunate dealings with one of the 
companies who sells dedicated Braille NoteTakers, I decided to take 
the plunge and purchase a Braille Display for use with my Apple 
products.  I have a 40 cell display, and I have had no trouble 
connecting it via USB to my iMac, or pairing it with my iOS 
devices!  When I had a Braille NoteTaker, I stored a lot of 
information that I wanted particularly in Braille, on that 
device.  Now that I can't do that anymore, I would like to find a 
way to store a number of my Braille and text files on my iPod 
Touch.  Is anyone else out there using a Braille Display with an iOS 
device in place of a dedicated NoteTaker?  If so, have you found a 
way to store folders and files so that you can have access to them 
no matter where you are, and whether or not you have a wireless 
connection?  Any suggestions would be immensely appreciated!


Desi
