Re: Very creepy experience with Siri

Interesting point, and your definitely not alone in that concern. I will say this though, a little over 100 years ago, people have the same concerns about machines in factories taking jobs. > On Aug 7, 2016, at 9:36 PM, Ryan Mann wrote: > > The thing I worry about with

Re: renaming or relabeling apps on the home screen

Hello Jenine, Double-tap and hold with two fingers. You’ll hear a series of clangs, after which you can type in a new label. Click the Done button and VoiceOver will read the new name. Interestingly, in the App Switcher, VO will read the new name, but when you close the app, it will be

renaming or relabeling apps on the home screen

I have 2 apps with the same name and want to be able to tell them apart if I list them both on the Home screen. One is the stock Apple Mail app and the other is the Voice Dream Mail app. I’m using iOS10 beta 3. Is there any way to change what VO reads as the app name? Thanks. Jenine Stanley

And Siri uses Wikipedia as a data source right? I know Watson does I think Siri does as well. That might explain the relationship. > On Aug 7, 2016, at 10:17 PM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: > > Actually this is done on Wikipedia. If you search there directly for Bruce it >

Speaking of the idea of robotic technology controlling the will, I think of a YouTube video of Conversation between Siri and Siri on two separate devices. I'll have to play around with different voice interactions between Siri, Cuortana, etc. Sharon H. > On Aug 8, 2016, at 3:08 AM, Simon

Spellchecking on the iPad? Am I missing something?

Hello all, Are there keyboard commands for spellchecking documents on the iPad. I am trying to type an email and I can hear VoiceOver give me the pop up notification for misspellings but cannot seem to access the pop up. How does one do this? If I could find an easy way to spell check content

Re: Very creepy experience with Siri

The same can be said for every revolution in technology. There was a time when the buggy whip business was huge after all or there were people who brought ice to your home everyday to fill your ice box. Things change. You’re absolutely right there may be robots but for the foreseeable future

Re: Help with Abby fine reader

I got my copy from the Mac App Store. That way, the serial number is embeded in the app, so no activation of any kind is required. Plus, each and every single app from the Mac App Store are tied to your Apple ID, just like apps from the iOS app store, so the app can be installed on as many macs

Re: using contacts

When VO says new group, hit the return / enter key and it should indicate that New Group is selected. Now just type work, and the folder should be renamed. This is the same process as folders in the finder. On Mon, Aug 8, 2016 at 4:33 PM Caitlyn Furness wrote: >

That’s where I got mine also. It’s been so long ago now though that cost is irrelevant in my case. It was one of the first apps I purchased after switching over to the MacBook Pro. Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com > On Aug 8, 2016, at 4:23 PM, christopher hallsworth

using contacts

Hi, I want to create two seperate groups in my contacts: my usual ones, and one for work. I seemed to be able to create the new group for work successfully, but it’s called “untitled”. I can’t seem to get to a view where I can see both groups-my regular contacts plus the new group that I

I like the app called Things. It is an organizer app and it has a place for projects. It has a place where you can set priorities for the project. It is simple to use. Although I know it is available for the Mac, I have only used the version for iPhone. Nancy Nancy Badger, Sent from my iPhone

Re: Very creepy experience with Siri

Oh wow, sounds similar to the sceen in “the santa clause 2,” where they try to make a robotic Santa, to try to run the show while the real one AKA Scott Calvin, has to temporarily go back home to deal with family issues, only things go seriously wrong with the robotic one and he puts everybody
