Hi List,
I thought I'd ask this question and see what people think,
I was looking at the new Samsung Galaxy S8 today and must admit it's a bloody
nicely designed device,
However it's an android device so it will be a very big second choice if I'm to
get a new phone.
A couple of things I did no
Hi,
For the first time ever I am in the position of having to use Keynote to read
power point presentation which a colleague of mine has chosen as an absolute
preference. Needless to say, I'm nervous. I wanted to ask for any tips of how
best to proceed with Keynote as regards using it with Vo
Hey Alex,
That was a really nice review. Great balance between your own subjective
reactions and impressions, and info on how things actually work. I hadn't seen
it when you first posted it to AppleVis, so thanks for reminding us again.
Cheers,

Hello Andrew,
The same principles apply in Keynote as in the other iWork applications. Make
sure that Navigator is checked in the View menu so that you can see quickly how
many slides are in the document.
Interact with the navigator and go to first item (VO-Home) to get to slide 1.
Press VO-j to
Hi,
I agree regarding the validity. The benefit to this feature though is the
choice from the user prospective. If the user would rather not these apps do
this sort of thing, they can disable it. Improves on security and a user's
ability to configure to their own preferences.

Hi,
For the most part, from the iPad Mini 2 and up, the iPad Air, the iPad Pro etc,
Swift Playground is usable, it's the regular "iPad" models, those without any
special designation that have the limitations.

I agree, more choice is a good thing. Don’t let Uber or anyone else make this
choice for me. As long as there’s a knob I can control my self I’m for it.

Hi there, so others different with me but I don’t like the built in keyboard
and the light bar is to sensitive. My fingers trigger things like mute and
screen brightness when I’m typing on the top row of keys. The keyboard is also
very small and your fingers that tend to rest near the touch pa
Hi Simon,
The new iPhone is projected to have some sort of facial recognition.
The retinal scanning it’s been my experience does not work for a blind
person. I have tried to use this in data centers instead of palm prints or
facial recognition and the systems require the user to focus
It’s a pretty good bet a 3rd gen model will be out in the Fall though. Do we
know for sure, nope you’re right but it’s a reasonable guess.

Tim,
This is one of those things that falls under those "I don't know
what I am missing" categories. I had started with RoboForm under Windows
many eons ago so to me it was a natural to install 1Password.
1Password probably duplicates many functions that are built into
Apple such as sec

Honestly I like it because I can store more than just passwords in it. I keep
my credit card information in 1Password, as well as banking information, server
connection details, my PIN for EFTPS for paying taxes, etc, etc. Plus it can
generate secure passwords for me with the criteria I choose.
Hi,
iCloud Keychain does all that as well.

Hi Scott and others.
How the hell is a blind person to use a phone if one has to use face
recognition? I for one have no sight, have never seen and can't even hold a
phone steady or in the right position for a picture to do its work. I've even
tried Tap tap C to aim the phone at something and
Hi Kawal, Voice Over already has aiming and focusing tips in the camera app
that use face detection. Tells you for example “a face near the center of the
photo”.
The good thing about face detection and recognition is you need be much less
precise than with iris scanning. With an iris or retin
The answer is that you can’t: period. Either Apple does something about this
or I guarantee you there will be a heck of a holler all across the country.
But wait a second. Let’s see what the facts of the case really turn out to be
before we start chasing after every negative rumor out there
Ray, you’re not quite right on this one. Just to clear up a little confusion...
You most definitely can work with facial recognition. I do every day for
entering some data centers that are highly secure. They used to use palm
prints which obviously are very accessible but moved over to either

While choice and lots of settings sounds great in theory–it falls down in
practice. Only power-users, which is a small-subset of the user-base know
about these settings and even a smaller set of users that configure them.
It’s an engineer approach to stuff in lots of settings, but great UX Design

Hi,
I think I read somewhere that facial recognition may not be as secure as we
might like. If you show the phone a picture of the owners face that will unlock
the phone. I am not sure where I read this, could have been Security Now.

Hi,
1. Go to System Preferences.
2. Navigate to the preference you'd like to remove.
3. Press VO-cmd-f5 to make sure the mouse is routed to the VO Cursor.
4. Hold down your ctrl key and click the physical mouse or trackpad.
This should bring up the Contextual menu and "Remove Preference Pane"
App Delete can’t see it.

Hi Scott,
Good thoughts and no I’m not looking to go Samsung or any other android phone
The thing I like the most about the S8 is really the shape of the device,
It I think sits nicely in the palm of the hand and I can see why the camera
gets smudged when looking to scan the finger
