Re: TapTapSee

2013-04-07 Thread Michael Feir
There's a small beep that sounds when you're focussed on something. As
long as you can position whatever you want a picture of, you can then
point the camera of your phone in its general direction and scan left
and right until you get that locked on beep.

Re: Help with King of Dragon Pass

2013-03-24 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Kimber. Regarding the music, you can turn that on and off in the
controls menu. If you're in the middle of the questionare, you
probably won't be able to access it until you've completed that
section and hit the proceed button to skip over the sacred time where
you'd normally alocate magic points. The questionare does indeed
present you with choices with flicking right will eventually get you
to. There are some long passages to read but it's also possible to
skip making choices. I don't recall whether there's a quit button so
you're likely stuck going through that. Once you get onto the
population screen, you will then be able to find the menu button.
Double tap that to bring up the menu and then look for the controls
button and double-tap that. Once you're in there, you can find the
background music, sound effects and adventure music toggles and
double-tap them to switch between checked or not. Once finished, I'd
recommend starting a fresh new game and taking the questionare
seriously. Don't forget that the manual and lots of other help is
available. The advice button is your friend. So is the "lore" section
of the menu. The game certainly has a learning curve but it's worth
every moment of frustration. Best of luck to you.

Re: Kindle App and books?

2013-08-19 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Jim. I've had great success using the Kindle app. They've done a
terrific job of making it possible to read KINDLE  books. You have to
buy the books using the web site and need to register the app with
your amazon account. You do that in the settings. The button for
getting at those is right on the home screen of the app. Once that's
done, any books you purchase will be delivered to your iPHONE. The
next time you open the app and you're online, the books will
automatically be downloaded. You can switch between books on your
device or in the cloud. Rather than restart the app to get a new book
onto your iPHONE, you can select the cloud button and then refresh the
library with a three-finger downward swipe. After that, find the new
book by flicking left and right until you come to it and then
double-tapping it. The book should then download. The next time you
double-tap it the book should open.

Reading the books is pretty easy. It gives you basic instructions and
there's more help available from the settings in the frequently asked
questions. The only tricky part is the table of contents. You can't
flick through chapters like you ought to be able to. Instead, when on
the table of contents, move your finger around until you come to the
chapter you want and double-tap on it. Sometimes, the table won't all
fit on one page and you'll have to use a three-finger sideways swipe
to get to more of the table of contents. As far as I can tell, it's
utterly impossible to use a table of contents from the PC. The iPHONE
makes it at least possible if a bit clunky.should

Re: Any opinions on battery packs with high MAH?

2014-06-07 Thread Michael Feir
I have a 12000MA pack called the iCurrior. There are also the Eton
Boost options which let you crank charge the batteries. If you're
going to be exposed to a lot of sunlight, there are solar charger
options to consider. I stumbled upon some of this while searching for
external batteries. Also, there's this place called Hypershop or
something like that. They apparently have very high-capacity
batteries. You should probably give them a look. They're at
www.hypershop.com
When I look for tavel gear or backpacks, my first stop is:

Best of luck with your trip.

Re: using kindle app for the first time, need some directions

2014-06-30 Thread Michael Feir
It's a very simple and nice way to read particularly for pleasure
reading. Teresa gave you the basics in her reply. It may take a bit to
get used to the two-finger swipe down to read continuously. You can
also single tap to pause. A three-finger swipe left or righnt will
turn pages back or forward. In the menu, you can go to the table of
contents and then explore with your finger over the screen.
Unfortunately, you can't flick left or right through titles of various
sections so you have to hunt around the screen. Some tables of
contents extend to more than one page and you have to use the
three-finger swipe to move through multiple pages of contents. When
you find what you want, double-tap it and you'll go there. You can't
buy books from within the app. Do that on the web site. Once you've
registerred your i device with Amazon using the app, you can download
book you've purchased. There will be a choice when purchasing books to
send them to your i device. It's almost too easy as my depleted bank
account is testiment to. Best of luck Paul. Happy reading.

I had an iniaial scare when my music wouldn't play. It turns out that
it was trying to play songs in my iTunes library which weren't on my
iPHONE. Once I went into the music section of settings, I had to
change it from show all music to show only music present on my iPHONE.
After that, I was back in business as usual.

Re: Kindle bookstore?

2014-07-17 Thread Michael Feir
Hi jennifer. You can choose to search within a category such as the
kindle store. It a combo box right on the amazon site. Select kindle
store when you search for a kindle book and that's what you'll find.
To browse for things, go to the kindle store and then to kindle ebooks
or kindle books. Once you get there, things are very well laid out.
Hope that helps.

Re: Kindle Ap

2014-07-30 Thread Michael Feir
I very much enjoy reading books with the Kindle app. The table of
contents is my only slight gripe as you can't flick between chapters
and other titles. Instead, you have to feel around the screen until
you hear the title you want and then double-tap it to go there. You
can scroll between pages of a large table of contents. It's very
workable but not as intuitive as it might be. Other than that, I've
had absolutely no isues with reading and jumping around in books.

Re: Voices With Kindle App

2014-08-02 Thread Michael Feir
Yes, but you can have more than one voice for Voiceover. Look in
languages and dialects secttings in Voiceover and add voices to your
language rotor. I believe that at least one more voice, Alex, will be
added when iOS8 comes out next month. I have the US, British,
Australian, Irish and South African voices installed. Mostly, I use
Daniel but also find the Australian voice, Karen, to be particularly
good. Hope that helps a bit. I love reading with the Kindle app.

Re: Searching In Kindle

2014-08-16 Thread Michael Feir
It's a two-step process. Double tap to bring up the menu and ten flic
left in order to double tap the menu button. You do this when you want
to go back to the library but try flicking right though the items.
You'll quickly come to the search option. Hope that helps. The kindle
app is awesome.

Re: saving battery?

2012-07-07 Thread Michael Feir
Don't forget to turn off location services when you're not using that
feature. It also drains battery power. You may want to look for an
external battery like the Mophie Juicepack Boost I purchased. There
are doubtless better options for portable batteries but they'll cost
more. Hope that helps. Good luck on your trip.

Re: audible app

2012-08-08 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Alex. It's a bit non-intuitive. You have to go to the info
button of a particular file in question. Then, in the info dialoge,
you'll find a "remove file from this device" button. Hit that and then
confirm you want to remove the file. I haven't found a way of removing
more than one file at a time.

Re: Advantage to triple tap button

2013-01-28 Thread Michael Feir
I always have blind people who I help with i devices set it to
voiceover first thing. Once that's done, if speech is lost for any
reason such as accidentally turning it off, you can trippleclick home
and get Voiceover back in normal operation. If you don't do this and
speech is lost for whatever reason, you may need to use iTUNES to sort
things out and restore speech without sighted assistance.

Re: Question.

2013-02-23 Thread Michael Feir
I don't think that's an actual danger here. There's no way that the
whole concept of Voiceover could be removed by a compeeting company.
The idea of providing access is just too basic. However, I am a bit
worried that something like the trippleclick home command to turn on
and off accessibility features could be removed. That in itself would
be horrid enough.

Re: Apple earpods

2012-11-02 Thread Michael Feir
Hi Stacy. For me, it's the same as with the old earbuds. Click the
centre button once to pause  or twice quickly to skip to the next
song. I think holding it down longer lets you go backwards or does
something else.

I feel compelled to add here that the Apple Earpods are quite a

with your 4S. I was absolutely dumfounded by the improvement in sound
richness and quality.

Yes indeed. It's just like the controls on the original earbuds.
Everything works the same as it did with them. The control hangs from

Re: Aftershokz, anyone used them?

2013-01-17 Thread Michael Feir
I like the fact that they don't block your ears from hearing what's
going on around you. That comes in very handy when navigating with GPS
and crossing streets. It's also nice for those gatherings where other
people are watching sports or doing something you're not interested in
but you still want to hear and participate in conversation while using
apps or listenning to music on your iPHONE. I also had occasion to
discover that when the flu resulted in reduced hearing ability, these
Aftershockz helpped me to hear conversation in a large room in my
parents' house more clearly than I could through my ears. I used an
app called Awareness to do this while wearing the Aftershockz. The
sound quality you get is partially dependent on your head shape and
bones. Honestly, I think you get better sound through Apple's new
earpods. However, they block your ears and isolate you from the sound
around you. Hope that helps a bit.

Re: RSS Games on the Apple devices, was RE: pretty exciting

2016-07-26 Thread Michael Feir
You would be hard pressed to find blind people with the skills required to 
produce iOS apps.  it's a very new area of expertise for everyone and 
especially for blind programmers.  the original developers of these games did 
so with knowledge gained over years of programning knowledge and as a hobby we 
shouldn't expect that to be the case always.  there are all sorts of economics 
and other factors which dictate what can be produced for free and when people 
feel that they can charge for their efforts. you don't have to pay for 
subscribing continuously in playing games on RSS servers. I questioned the 
wisdom of setting prices for the games as high as they have. there is also the 
problem of the asymmetry of having costs for one group of users and not for 
another.  however I don't question their right to have a charge for the games.  
 this money will go to support future app development and will likely see the 
benefits of it in both RS games that are free on windows plus the additional 
apps produced by kid friendly software it's much more complicated than people 
with no programming experience think it is. also there are different economic's 
governing the customer base and expectations of developers of games for sighted 
people and developers of games for blind people. A high percentage of blind 
people are unemployed which means there is less spare money available to pay 
for entertainment I don't begrudge paying for any game but I pick and choose 
what I pay for in terms of what really interests me I might not pay for your 
game if I don't like it. that means less advertising and awareness of your game 
that you might have if I had gotten and liked it it's a fine line to be drawn 
for developers trying to set prices in a market that is heavily disadvantaged 
economically

Re: Any pointers in using an Anker E7 Astro 2 Gen battery with my iPhone 6, and some observations about it.

2016-08-11 Thread Michael Feir
I'm very happy with my Anker battery. I'm certain it's the same one you have 
Kevin. The button on the side near the top is the only control on the batttery. 
I would need to use a light detector app to tell if the led flashlight was on 
or off. There isn't any way to tell how much charge is in the battery. I plug 
it in every month or so to keep it full and ready. I also have a smaller 
lipstick sized Anker battery for those times when you don't need a whole bag of 
accessories and just want your phone.

Hi there. If you use the Podcasts app provided free by Apple, you can find and 
subscribe to apple Keynote HD and will then receive any keynote speeches when

Re: app retrieval?

2014-09-19 Thread Michael Feir
Frankly, I would just go into the purchased section of updates in the
appstore on your iPHONE5 and download the ones you want from there.
You'll then have the most up-to-date versions of apps. Lots of them
are getting iOS8 updates.

Re: iBook store and ios 8

2014-09-22 Thread Michael Feir
They've changed that a little. To get out of your library and into the
bookstore, use one of the bottom tabs like features, search  or top
charts. When you want to obtain a book, go right into its entry and
use the button with the price or free that you find in the description
rather than on the store front. I found that to be true in the
appstore also. You have to use the link with the title of the app
first to get into the description page and then look for the button
labelled with the item's price which lets you purchase. Hope that
helps you.

Re: Audible question

2016-04-27 Thread Michael Feir
Using the Audible app, go to the top left and then flic right. You
will come across buttons including one which will say recent or some
other thing. That button has a hit that says sort your library.
There's also a button to determine what books are shown. You can also
choose between cloud and device libraries. On the web site, there's
doubtles a combo box or form controls which let you do the same thing.

Re: Flaky behavior in the kindle app?

2016-05-05 Thread Michael Feir
I don't have any issues like that. I also run the Kindle app on and
iPHONE6 with the latest iOS. The only thought I'd have here is that
you'd want to make certain that reachability is turned off in
settings, general, accessibility. I haven't noticed any odd behaviour
from the Kindle app and use it pretty much daily. Can't think of
anything special I've done in terms of settings.

Re: Canadian news apps

2016-05-13 Thread Michael Feir
Agreed when it comes to moving within the main body of a story. I've
never had trouble playing videos though. If you go to the about
section, there's a "contact us" button. Guess I tend to just pick
times when I can read through the articles without pause. They aren't
overly long so it's never been a huge issue other than when I want the
spelling of something. I started using it long before they really made
accessibility improvements so I guess our expectations clearly differ
there. I find that the app meets my needs rather nicely. I'll avail
myself of the contact option to add my call for improvements to yours
regarding navigation within an article body. I'm investigating another
app called Canada press which seems promising at hasty first glance.

Hello. Here is the response I just received from my attempt to contact
CBC about their app. I didn't expect anything this soon.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your email and for notifying us of this issue. I'm
discussing with a couple of digital app managers now and will
hopefully have a fix or at least an answer for you shortly.
Regards,

one area where I have trouble is when I want to closely read over the
body of an article. Reading the whole article is no problem but when
you want to pause and resume reading or find how a particular word is
spellt, there's no way to do that other than painfully crawling
through word by word. Also, if you are interrupted by another event on
your phone, there's no way to just pick up reading where you left off.
You are forced to hear the whole article over again. I hope you
continue to improve the accessibility of your apps.

Re: Aftershokz Trekz and equalizer function

2016-05-14 Thread Michael Feir
You need to hold down both the volume buttons until it says equalizer
setting changed. I believe there are only two alternate settings. One
is much more bass-heavy than the other. Both have their uses. Hope
that helps.

Hey Sieghard. We have quite different tastes in apps and she's a bit
wary of joining our iTUNES accounts in any way. Haven't heard from
many people at all who actually use it. Jonathan Mosen's the only one
who comes to mind.

Re: Why Would You Choose the KNFB Reader Over The Other Options?

2016-05-16 Thread Michael Feir
I don't think I'd use it to put a check in a printer. For organising a
stack of pages, it does give you the degrees of orientation from
presumed horizontal upright position so I'd use that info to stack the
pages properly as I scanned each individually. It also can work with a
scanning stand automatically taking pictures when sheets are placed in
the stand. You're right in thinking that a more conventional scanner
would be better for that sort of thing. However, for quickly finding
out and getting an accurate reading of a page, I'd put KNFB Reader up
against any OCR scanner.

Re: Buying books from the iBook store

2016-06-15 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Kimberly. The reason you're finding only books you own is that
it defaults to the "my books" tab. There are three tabs dedicated to
finding and purchasing books. You need to feel down at the bottom of
the screen where you'll find a series of tabs.  Double tap on a tab to
change the focus to its contents. You want the search tab if you know
the author or title. Otherwise, there are the featured and top charts
tabs. Hope that helps get you started.

Re: Improving typing on the i phone

2016-11-14 Thread Michael Feir
I use the touch typing mode. That helped my speed a lot as you only enter
characters when you lift your finger off the screen after getting the right
letter. You eventually develop a kind of muscle memory and land on the
right letter without having to slide your finger around for it. I still
like the feedback of hearing the letter I type. There's also a direct touch
typing mode where touching the letter will enter it without any feedback. I
don't find that method practical for me.

For more lengthy writing, I have a portable Bluetooth keyboard. There are
lots of these. I prefer the Microsoft Universal Mobile keyboard. It's rigid
enough to use on your lap and 85% the size of a full keyboard. It's
protected by a sturdy cover which closes over the keyboard like a book.
That cover can also turn on the keyboard when it opens, is magnetically
attached and can serve as a tray for an iPHONE or stand for a tablet.

After you touch a status bar item, lift your finger away immediately and
then do the three-finger swipe up for the control panel or down for the

Re: Powerful-but-Thin Battery Pack for a 6S

2016-12-08 Thread Michael Feir
For day to day use, I recommend the 1MA power bank from Anker. It's
rugged, vey thin and portable, and has a rough texture which is easy to
grip. They have larger capacity batteries. I have a 26800MA battery but
it's too big for pocket use. There are also smaller lipstick sized
batteries which have around 3500 MA. This would charge an iPHONE at least
once. A 1MA battery would keep you in power for a few days if necessary
and is still no larger or heavier than a deck of cards.

Re: Powerful-but-Thin Battery Pack for a 6S

2016-12-08 Thread Michael Feir
It's a separate unit. The advantage of those is that you don't suddenfly
find that they no longer fit if you upgrade your phone. There may be a
battery case from Apple or Mophie.  Hope you're able to find a good
solution.

Re: Accessible game of checkers for the iPhone:

2016-01-25 Thread Michael Feir
Hello. There's an app called Checker-wise which plays international
ten-by-ten checkers. For the American style, the app you want is
Draughts-wise Both apps are developed by the same fellow who did
Chess-wise. The last update was in May 2015. Hope one of them will be
what you're looking for.

Re: bible app

2016-02-07 Thread Michael Feir
I recently invested in the word of promise bible app. I uses the New
King James bible and has a 90-hour dramatized audio version as well as
the complete text. You can use it very easily with Voiceover. You can
even double-tap on words and have the audio performance jump right
there. If you hear a section performed by the cast, you can then stop
and read through that same section of text. It's a remarkable
approach. You can choose not to purchase the drama and still use the
New King James version and a couple of others available from the store
within the app. The audio drama comes in either a basic 1.2 gb version
or a high-quality 4-gb version. Either way, the length of audio
material is 90 hours for the whole bible.

Re: New Aftershokz

2016-03-06 Thread Michael Feir
Hi Marie. I've really enjoyed my Trekz Titaniums. They're on my head right now. 
I have hearing aids and they don't interfere with those at all. The battery 
life is said to be 6 hours of playback but I've gotten 8 or 9. I' visiting my 
in laws and love being able to hear what's happening around me in addition to 
my iPHONE. I got them while they were an Kickstarter project but would 
cheerfully have paid full price.

Re: Frotz

2016-03-09 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Christina. You have a few ways of going about adding games to
Frotz. There are literally hundreds of games available. A Bear's Night
Out is a great one to play with children. Some other personal
favorites which are clean but written for teens and adults are Jigsaw,
Curses, haunted Theater and Sofar. To find these games, you want to
use the browse ifdb button which lets you get games from the
Interactive Fiction database. If you know the name of a game, use the
first search edit field you come to. Type in the neame and then use
the submit botton. Hope that gets you started. There are many ways to

Frotz can also run the Infocom games but you'll have to obtain those
somethwre other than the database. They're still considered commercial
software and are unavailable for free download. I have a CD call the
Masterpieces of Infocom which you may be able to track down on Ebay or
something. You could then do what I did and transfer the games to
Frotz's story list with its built-in file server. There are
instructions in the help included in Frotz. Best of luck with this
Christine. I hope that helps get you started. Be shure to try the
games already included with the Frotz app.

Re: Frotz

2016-03-09 Thread Michael Feir
I got the app years ago and can't remember the initial set. I wouldn't
expect anything too vial. To download the games, go into their entry
and swipe through until you find the game file. You'll know them by
their extentions like zblorb, z8, z5, etc. You'll get the hang of it.
when you manage to download a file it'll say that it has been added to
your story list.

I'm not certain about that. I think it would tell you if you tried to
run a game it couldn't handle. It might still let you download it
though.

Re: aftershox head phones

2015-11-20 Thread Michael Feir
I've ordered the Trex Titaniums during the Indegogo campaign and hope
to have my pair within a month. As long as you have an external
battery, that six-hour limit shouldn't be all that big a deal. So far,
I've heard good things about the sound improvements and the leak
slayer tech introduced in the Blues 2S and Trex Titaniums. I had a
wired pair of their M3 headset and it served me well for around two
years. The wire attachment point where it enters the headset was the
weakness. Eventually, it'll snag and pull on things. It has gotten
loose and I've begun to notice some crackling. I'll be happy to get
the Titaniums despite the battery drain due to Bluetooth. It shouldn't
be that bad especially with external batteries handy. I'll never have
to worry about snagged wires again.

Re: Headphones that don't block your ears

2015-11-28 Thread Michael Feir
Aftershokz are addressing the sound leakage and other issues with
their latest headphones. I got in on the Trekz Titanium campaign and
should soon have a pair of those. The Blues 2S headset also
incorporates the sound enhancement and leak prevention improvements. I
believe they're available now. The TRekz Titaniums won't be available
retail for a short while yet.

Re: Accessible Bible App?

2016-12-19 Thread Michael Feir
I have very much enjoyed the Word of Promise app. You can get a fully audio 
dramatized version of the New King James bible which is over 90 hours long. The 
app is fully accessible. I can read the text version of the bible with 
Voiceover without any difficulty. You can get various text versions of the 
bible with some being free and some costing money. They've done a great job 
making the app accessible including all the extra resourcs like plans and 
videos.

Re: Getting back to my kindle bookshelf?

2016-12-27 Thread Michael Feir
Hello. From within a book, first do a double-tap which brings up the menu
button plus other options. You then need to get to the menu button on the
top left and double-tap it. This brings up the larger menu which includes
the library option. Double-tap on that to get out of your book and into the
library. That major menu has other things too which aren't present in the
minor menu reached by double-tapping the first time from within the book.
For one thing, instead of taking the library option, flick right and you
can go through a table of contents provided a book has one. Hope this helps
you out.

Re: How do I get back to my kindle bookshelf?

2016-12-28 Thread Michael Feir
You're stuck in the minor menu. Getting there is the first of three steps
needed to exit a book and get back to the library. Once you're in that
minor menu, you need to look around the top left. If you land on an option
like xray view, flick left and you should eventually reach where it says
"menu. You need to double-tap that menu button which should then get you
into the larger menu. This will contain the library button. It is to the
right of the "bookmark" button and to the left of the "search and "about
this book" buttons. Double-tap the library button and you'll be back to
your bookshelf. It has gotten a bit more complex since it used to be.
Everything's still there though as long as you find and double-tap that
menu button after it says "menu on. Hope that helps.

Re: screen dimming setting

2017-01-05 Thread Michael Feir
You need to go into the Settings app. Next, go into the display and
brightness settings. Once there, flick right to the "autolock" option. I
have it set to never so that I don't experience unexpected shut-downs.
However, if you want to have it shut down after a time automatically, there
are time options when you double-tap that autolock setting. Choose the one
you want and then hit the "back" button. Hope that helps.

Re: Refund

2017-01-16 Thread Michael Feir
I use the receipt that gets emailed to you. There's a link in that receipt
that says report a problem. Click on that and it takes you to a site where
you can choose a problem. I usually choose "bought the app by mistake" from
the picker. I usually get my refund quite quickly.

Re: Text editing/word processing

2017-01-31 Thread Michael Feir
Hello. I recommend Ulysses. It's fully accessible now. Since Apple figured
out how to improve text selection, I haven't found any good reason to use
Voice Dream Writer. It's easy to select, cut and paste chunks of text in
Pages or other mainstream writing apps. Proof-reading is quite possible
using the built-in spellchecker in iOS. Ulysses is expensive but I use it
all the time. It's great for keeping stuff organised and writing long
documents like the iOS guide I'm working on for blind people. I can have a
sepearte sheet for each major section and rearrange them at will. I can
also cut and paste minor sections withinn a sheet. Ulysses uses markdown
language for formatting so you can always know what's going on since the
Markdown characters are all text symbols.
There's always Pages which is free from Apple and Microsoft Word which is
free from Microsoft. Both are quite useable. For a good accessible
dictionary/thesaurus app, I suggest Wordbook. It does the job rather
nicely. There's also another great one called Terminology. Both apps will
work even when offline so you'll never be without some assistance finding
the right word. Haven't found any satisfactory offline encyclopedias but
the Wikipedia Mobile app is great provided you're online. I've heard they
have some agreement with carriers so that it doesn't even cost you cellular
data to look up things on there. And of course, the Google app is a good
addition to anybody's home screens. Its voice search can often out-do Siri.

You might also want to look at another app called Scrivener. It was
designed with authors in mind and is a close competitor. To Ulysses I
prefer Ulysses overall but it comes down to personal taste and overall
approach. Hope that helps you out a bit.

The company who produced Wordbook is called TranCreative Software. Agile
Tortoise  produces the Terminology app and other apps which have attracted
attention from blind users. Hope that gets you on the right path. Should
have included that information in my initial message.

Re: Text editing/word processing

2017-01-31 Thread Michael Feir
I'd say Wordbook compares quite nicely to Wordweb. For some reason, Wordweb
got harder to use for me on iOS. It's a great app and I'd be happy to learn
it was back to being fully useable.  It was great on Windows too. Wordbook
gives comparable definitions.

There have been times when Ulysses has gone on sale of been given away.
That happened quite a bit in the NANO Wrimo month which they helped
sponsor.  It certainly is a pricy app but I don't regrette my purchase. It
has met all my needs so splendidly that I may never write anything
substantial on my laptop again.

I'm very surprised that Pages isn't free on both Mac and iOS. I wonder why
that is. I do remember that it used to cost around $20 on iOS  years ago.

Agile Tortoise made an app called Drafts which might also be worth your
checking out. I don't know if it's available on Mac but I know it can tie
into Dropbox. Hope you find a writing solution which works well for you.
It's damned nice to leave my laptop behind and still be able to get
everything done on my iPHONE and a Bluetooth keyboard.

Re: Ulysses was Re: Text editing/word processing

2017-01-31 Thread Michael Feir
Scrivener didn't seem to let me enter apostrophes. It kept giving a short
beep whenever I tried. Also, I found it tricky to import all the files I
wanted to from Dropbox. I love the basic philosophy behind Scrivener but I
just didn't have the experience I thought I would. I've had a much smoother
experience with Ulysses. I'm learning more of the markdown language as I
need to. So far, it has the formatting commands I require. Basic formatting
like centering and such is quite simple. I've written lettres and exported
them as HTML, text and other formats. I haven't done footnotes but there is
a command to add them when needed. You may want to check out the FAQ at:
ulyssesapp.com/faq
It should be possible to get the user guide as well. Lots of helpful info
on their site for Mac and iOS. I did read that they can't offer student
discounts or anything like that so you'd be paying full price as I
understand it. however, the seem to be simple text commands for adding lots
of things including images.

Re: Question about the iphone kindle app

2017-02-02 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Melissa. The Kindle app approaches things somewhat differently than
iBOOKs. It can throw beginners off. Fortunately, it's quite consistent and
simple.  If you're in a book, double-tap to reach what I've come to call
the internal book menu. You'll find a number of options which help you
change the view or use X ray if a book supports that. Once you find the
options, flick left and you'll find a menu button. Double-tap that and the
larger main menu will appear. The very first option on is is library which
gets you to your list of books. The Kndle approach overall is to minimise
space taken by interface lelements and maximise space for the book to be
displayed. Very helpful for sighted readers but a source of minor
irritation for those of us without sight.

Another nifty set of options is exposed by double-tapping and holding after
the second tap. You can highlight words and do other things like share
passages of text and define words. In the library, you'll find options to
switch from books in the cloud to those on your device as well as sorting
options if you look in the bottom right corner. Hope that helps you
navigate a bit easier. It's a wonderful app once you get used to it and you
can save a pile of money taking advantage of Kindle book deals. I hate to
see people get discouraged from something I've gained so much pleasure
from. Happy reading.

Re: Question about the iphone kindle app

2017-02-03 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Helga. You can certainly do this. Once your finger has felt text of
your book, turn the rotor to lines and then flick down to read each line or
up to go back a line. The same goes for word and character. For this sort
of navigation, you need to be comfortable using the rotor. If you don't
find a "lines" setting in your rotor, your cursor might not be on the
book's text.

Just in case you're unfamiliar with the rotor, I'll explain that here.
Imagine there is a knob on the screen of your device. Using two fingers,
place them on the screen as if grasping a knob and turn the imaginary knob
left or right. When you reach a setting of interest, flick up or down with
one finger to change or use the setting. In the case of lines, characters
and words, flicking up or down moves that amount in the text. Hope that
helps.

Re: Bible apps

2017-02-07 Thread Michael Feir
You get the app for free but need to buy the audio version of the bible if
you want that. You can buy just the old or new testament if that is all you
want. The text version of the New King James bible is free. You can also
get what they call a study bible which you can purchase. It has notes and
things. There are also bible plans and other free resources available in
the app. It all works fine with Voiceover.

Re: Apple Music

2017-02-10 Thread Michael Feir
Hello everyone. It just occurred to me that I should mention the EQ
settings offered in iOS. These effect any music or audio playing apps. You
can find it in the settings app tucked away in the Music settings. Look
through the settings under the "playback" heading. There, you'll find
volume limit, sound check and eq settings. There are a nice selection of
options. In particular, I find the Lounge and Late Night settings helpful
in revealing details my hearing loss makes me prone to miss. I wish Apple
had put these options right n the Music app itself. People are always
surprised whe I tell them about the EQ choices. Hope everyone's catching a
better sleep than I did.

Re: Games for the blind

2017-02-10 Thread Michael Feir
You could certainly play any games not based on hearing and reflexes on a
Braille display provided they work with Voiceover. You can turn off the
speech and leave Voiceover running. This is useful when reading books on a
braille display. Having done this, you'd be able to play King of Dragon
Pass, Evertree Inn and any other choose your own adventure style games.
Also, Frotz can work wonderfully making hundreds of text adventures
accessible through braille. You just need to be familiar with all the key
commands Voiceover has for allowing you to control your iOS device with
your Braille display. It has always amazed me that organisations interested
in promoting the use of Braille haven't done more to encourage and spread
the word about this kind of thing. Dice World works well as does Seven
Little Words. Many of the Blindfold games should work fine that way also.
Hope that helps get you started.

Yes. BlindSquare is available in Canada. I use it all the time. There are
even certain areas where indoor beacons are being installed which will give
guidance inside places to users of BlindSquare.

Re: Blind Aquared GPS app

2017-02-23 Thread Michael Feir
I don't think very many places have them yet. There are a number of
shopping centres and other places in Finland where the app developer is
from. The CNIB headquarters building in Toronto has them. I've heard
there's going to be a block in down town toronto which will be saturated
with them.  I'll be keen to hear what an effect on any blind people who
have reason to be there. It's still such a new system.  You might ry a
google search for BlindSquare  and beacon.

Re: unable to download books from Kindle

2017-02-28 Thread Michael Feir
There's some sort of major problem with a server Amazon runs. You may not
actually have a problem once they fix their server. A bunch of sites are
having trouble or are offline since they also made use of this server. You
might just find that the problem goes away in a while.

Re: How many gB is my phone?

2017-03-01 Thread Michael Feir
You find that out by doing the following:
1. Go into settings.
2. Double-tap on the "general" button.
3. Once there, flick right until you come to "storage and icloud settings".
Double-tap on this and then flick right to get a brief summary of your
storage capacities and how much is available on the phone and in the cloud.
There are "manage" buttons for more detailed work. Hope that helps.

Re: hand gesture in Kindle

2017-03-02 Thread Michael Feir
A three-finger swipe to the right will move you back a page. A three-finger
swipe to the left will move you forward. Also, don't forget that you can
get to the table of contents by double tapping the screen, finding and
double-tapping the menu button, and flicking right past the menu items. Be
certain that you're in the main menu by checking for the "library function
at the far left of the menu. If that's present, you're in the proper menu
and can flick right to get to the table of contents. Happy reading.

Re: using bluetooth accessories not made by Apple

2016-09-08 Thread Michael Feir
That's a pack of nonsense. It would be totally terrible public relations for 
them. It would render countless accessories suddenly obsolete and Apple's 
already taking a big hit for removing the earphone jac as it is. There's 
absolutely no reason to rob people of the ability to use third-party Bluetooth 
accessories. However, with Apple's technology so integrated, it wouldn't 
surprise me if its devices performed better. For instance, I have a pair of 
Aftershokz Trekz Titaniums which are Bluetooth bone conduction headphones. They 
use Bluetooth 4.1 and I fully expect that I'll be using them on whatever iPHONE 
I eventually upgrade to. Every so often, my AFtershokz disconnect and reconnect 
to my phone. I've lost a couple of calls and/or missed bits of music. It's rare 
but it happens. I wouldn't be surprised if you simply didn't have to worry 
about that with Apple Airpods.  I can buy the argument that removing the 
headphone jac saves space but they simply don't gain anything by removing the 
Bluetooth capability for something proprietary.

Re: Wanting some information about accessible games

2016-10-14 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Terri and all. Looks like you've gotten a lot of great suggestions 
already. King of Dragon Pass remains my favorite story and simulation game. It 
has a learning curve and is one of those really deep and rewarding games. A 
Dark Room is another great and very unique accessible game. There are many 
choose your own adventure games like the Delite Games and Choise Of games. 
Those are very simple to play.

Re: Bluetooth compatible Bone Conduction headphones for Blind Square

2016-10-24 Thread Michael Feir
I very much enjoy my Trekz Titaniums for travel situations. One thing to really 
be careful of when choosing headsets is to make certain they use the latest 
possible Bluetooth version. The Titaniums use 4.1 and I don't experience any 
lag whatsoever with Voiceover use. Same with my new Aukey speaker. I made 
damned certain it used 4.1 and there's no lag. My Logitech UE Boomb sits unused 
despite being durrable, having a great super battery and sounding great due to 
the annoying lag. It uses version 4 of Bluetooth. I didn't think to check 
before purchase.

Re: after shokz bone conduction head phones

2016-10-25 Thread Michael Feir
They are indeed earplugs. The instructions do state that you may experience 
better sound with your ears plugged in a safe environment. Mainly though, they 
include them so people can have proof that they are hearing through their bones 
and not their ears.

The buttons may vary from different models but I can tell you what they do on 
the Trekz Titaniums. The triangular button on the left will do several things. 
It can be held in and will say voice dial but on iOS, it will activate Siri. 
The two buttons on the right set the volume up or down but only when sound is 
playing. Otherwise, they announce the battery level. The volume up button 
nearest the right earphone will also act as a power button. Hold it in for a 
long press to turn on or off the headset. There's a way to reset the headphones 
also but I can't remember it. Hope that helps. Enjoy the headset. It's not the 
best for recording or for high quality listening but they're great for when 
you're out and about needing your ears free and not caring so much for sound 
quality.

There are many audio games. Ticon Blu has done Audeo Rally Racing and another 
racing game. They also have adventure games called The Inquisator and a hidden 
object game called She Noire. Codename Cygnus, probably spellt wrong, is 
another audio adventure game where you are a secret agent. Of course, there are 
the Something Else LTD games like Papa Sangre II and Audio Defence. There are 
lots of audio games out there and I expect many more will appear over the next 
couple of years.

Hello everyone. I just got a Kindle update that fixes the VoiceOver issue.
The version number is still 6.91 and there is no mention in the description
of the accessibility fix. Looks like they just snuck it in there.  I've
tried a number of books with uniformly good results. Go forth, grab it and
rejoyce!

Re: Two Questions about E-Mail on the Phone

2018-08-13 Thread Michael Feir
You already got the right answer for your second question. Here's some help
with your first one about where archived messages are. Don't worry. You
haven't lost them. What happens is that they're taken out of the primary
inbox. You can stil find them by searching for something in their address
or subject using the search facilities. Also, if you go into "all mail"
from the navigation menu, you will be able to access all of the messages
including archived ones. The primary inbox focusses on messages you have
received and not dealt with yet. Don't forget to look in that spam folder
every so often. Gmail has one of the best spam filters I've ever come
acrosss but it occasionally gets one that isn't spam.

I've really come to prefer Gmail and the Gmail app over the regular mail
app included in iOS. It just takes a bit of getting used to as Gmail has
its own philosophy about how email should be handled and organised. Hope
that helps you manage things.

Re: Seeking Advice on Upgrading from iPhone 5 to iPhone SE

2018-09-05 Thread Michael Feir
The SE certainly wouldn't be something I'd considdr at this point. There
are many more things besides screen size which change between models and
most of these changes will have an effect on what we do as blind users. For
instance, the processing power in even the cheepest new iPHONE will be
vastly superior to that of the SE. This can help in all sorts of ways
especially when multi-tasking. The modems and antennas will improve which
will result in less data used and better connectivity. Even the camera
improvements can make a real difference to results of document reading or
item identification.

Re: listening to the presentation.

Hello Fred. You can do that from the Apple web site. Just go to
Apple.com
And then look for the event. There'll be instructions and a link to tune in
on your iPHONE or other iOS device. I believe they're streaming it so you
could also listen on Windows. Hope you're able to enjoy the event.
