Which online games are your favourite?
Hi list, I think this topic has been discused here some time ago, but I thought I'd bring it up again. I hope you forgive me. Is there anyone who would play online games rather than off-line games or the games against computer/robot? I like online games and playing with people very much and I find off-line games very boring. I don't have many online games and those games I have, I am not excellent at playing them, but I am sure it is a matter of practice. So what online games do you play? I have King's corner, Dice world and Lost cities, but these last two I haven't tried much. I am looking for more online games, mostly card games. So if anyone knows of any nice card game, please post it here. As for off-line games, I have Moxie which I like a lot. I hope this is not very much off-topic and I won't be kicked out by the moderator :-)) Have a wonderful day. Maria -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: Apple just approved All Access: Talking Menus More
Hi Tom, This is a work in progress and, with the help of the list, Todd is making changes to make it better. In the next update, he will hide the other businesses and make the restaurants stand out. Not all restaurants have menus online. If they do, it would be the irst thing you come to after the header, just before the map button. If there is a particular restaurant you'd like to see a menu of, it can be put in the database through Toddor the database manager in San Francisco.

Serious help with syncing
Good morning, I'm in a bind and really need some specific help because I no longer know what I'm doing. Please, the more specific you can be, the better for me. And, if you need to help me off list, no problem. Recently, I realized that I hadn't synched up my IPhone and my PC computer in a very long time. I'm using a PC computer with Windows 7 and JAWS 14 and now have an IPhone 5 with the latest software update. I guess I've been doing a lot on my IPhone because my contacts list on the IPhone is very different from the older one I had using Outlook 2010. I basically wanted my Outlook contact list to be replaced by the contacts list I have on my IPhone. It is more up to date and I remember that with my IPhone 4, I used to be able to sync my Outlook and IPhone contact lists together. Can this still be done, and if so, how? I downloaded the newest Itunes, and it is somewhat different than what I remember. I know it deals a lot with the ICloud, and my IPhone is backing up my contacts list to the cloud all the time. I've gone so far as to delete my Outlook Contacts list (deleting just means creating another folder and moving everything there so that I don't lose anything). I did sync the IPhone and went to the Info button which seemed to talk about contacts and such, but nothing happened. Can someone please walk me through this process? It's important that I have this new contacts list on my computer as well. Thank you very much. Tom Cramer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: How often do you charge your Iphone?
I have bluetooth on all the time so I can just use the keyboard when I like. With or without bluetooth on though, I normally have to charge mine every day.

You can only go to next line with the button in the right edge of the display. If you read with your right hand, and will use the left for going to new line it is not possible at the moment. Again I am not impressed with the cells. I have always used 40 cells display. I have been told that it is the best with a long display. I have figured out, that 40 cells maybe is to long a display. It can be an advantage in a few situations, but if you are reading much as I am, I would really concider a shorter display. I think something about 24 cells would be a great length for a braille display. Cheers Annie.

RE: Listening to Voiceover
I know this message is ridiculously late in response, Brice, but I have my ear buds with me all the time and can enjoy complete privacy with my screen curtain on as well. Even in very noisy environments, you can hear the speech if it is turned up loudly enough. I like the buds because you can still hear people and still be aware of your surroundings while texting or playing around with your apps. I find the buds particularly handy when I'm listening to blind square tell me where I am. If done safely, you can even cross busy streets with only one ear bud in if you take out the bud in your ear where the parallel traffic comes from. The only time I have blind square coming from my external speaker is when I am in a cab. This lets the driver know that he can't pull one over on me. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Brice Smith Sent: Friday, May 24, 2013 9:29 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Listening to Voiceover Hi, I'm curious to know how you all listen and use your phones when you're out in public.

Re: Apple just approved All Access: Talking Menus More
Todd, I think you've attempted to cover most of the bases, however one restaurant which I did not see is Applebee's listed. Thanks. Fred Olver - Original Message - From: Todd Bernhard To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: Todd Bernhard Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 8:51 PM Subject: Re: Apple just approved All Access: Talking Menus More Thank you everyone for the great, constructive feedback. We've learned a lot and I wanted to give you an update. I just submitted an update to Apple based on all the comments received so far! First, I've built over 80 apps, for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Mac OS and even Samsung Bada. This is the most complex one I've ever built. In addition the emphasis on voiceover, the app is also meant for the Deaf, Non-Verbal and Non-English-speaking audience, as it can speak the order to the waitstaff, independently of voiceover. The app is accessing four different servers from three different companies. One server, in Switzerland, is for the logo scanning, one in Rochester, NY (soon to migrate to Amazon's cloud servers) is our own with our internal database with photos and premium customer info, another in Las Vegas is for the text-to-speech hints (which you do not need if you are using voiceover) and the last one, in San Francisco, is for the restaurant/business/menu database. That service and server is provided by Locu.com. That last one is where we have the following issues. First, thanks to the popularity of the app, we went over their previously undisclosed limit of 1,000 requests per day, around 8am Pacific time. That is why some of you saw the app crashing. Since that provider doesn't open until 9am, I had to keep calling until they answered to get our limit raised. (I asked for 100,000!) It was raised and I've made an edit to the app (for the next update) that will display a message instead of crashing if that ever happens again! Next, is the issue of no menus. That was probably because their server offers info for more than just restaurants. For example, they have hair salons, spas, etc. I'm changing the app to just show restaurants, by default, and we may re-enable other businesses in a future update, but because it was causing confusion, I don't think it should default to all businesses. That other info is valuable, but the confusion seems to be the bigger problem. Regarding stale data, I have noticed this and complained about it, too. I think the provider's emphasis, understandably, is on growing their database and there is less focus on pruning out old info. They are a startup, too, and I can relate to prioritizing resources. But I think we will create a button that lets you report old data and then we can blacklist it from the app, even if it hasn't been removed from that provider's database. To be honest, it's quite remarkable that they've built this menu system, without requiring restaurants to do anything. They search for websites, and even scan paper menus and have over one million such menus now. They have signed deals with GoDaddy and Yelp so we're in good company. And they are excited to be part of this accessible effort. Re voiceover and accessibility. The specific feedback was great, and I believe I've made all of the changes. I've used the app repeatedly in voiceover mode and I think I've eliminated everything people were running into. For the technically inclined, you might be interested to know that there are at least 109 specific accessibility commands in the app source code. The problem wasn't really the lack of voiceover commands but that we were layering views on top of previous ones, and that meant in some views, if there wasn't another accessible element displayed, the ones below it would peak through. That has been fixed. I will change how you edit settings, like manual address versus GPS, as this was confusing even to sighted folks! Regarding finding the app, I sent the initial email shortly after Apple notified us it was approved, and it takes some time for apps to show up, especially worldwide. Nobody should have a problem finding it now, either by searching for all access or search for blind menus or use this link: http://bit.ly/AllAccessMenus For a restaurant to be included in the app, or to update their existing info, they can either contact us directly, which is preferred, or they can contact Locu.com who is the menu database provider. There is no charge to be listed and no charge to have a menu included. Both Locu and our firm, All Access, offer premium features where we plan to earn revenue. Locu charges restaurants to upload their own photos, whereas our focus is on letting users upload their photos, via a scavenger hunt style contest, in exchange for gift cards from the restaurant. We also charge for the Logo Launcher scanning feature, and for the ability to add custom deals (like groupons) and other

But as you say, it is another item you have to make sure is charged up and I personally don't like it if I have to do any amount of typing. I do own one and use it at times, but first of all I feel I look like a nurd (no offense to anybody who wears it all day) and I just don't like the small lag when I am typing, it makes typing on the virtual keyboard even slower as it is. There is also a third reason why I don't want to have it in all day and that is the fact that nobody really knows if it is all that healthy. I very much prefer the Apple earpods, they are less conspicuous and even lighter than even the lightest Bluetooth earpiece. Depending on where I am and what I am doing I often just have the right one in my ear since it has the microphone and remote and I just have the left one hanging around my neck. It's become total habit for me to grab them in the morning, wrap them around my hand and put them in my pocket. In short, if you are in public and you don't want anybody to hear your phone a headset or earpiece of some sort is your only option. I personally wouldn't be too worried about people listening to a text message I might type, somebody really would have to pay attention to put together what you are typing if they hear a letter at a time, but of course if it's noisy a headset really is the way to go and it has the additional benefit that you can keep your phone on your belt or in your pocket when a call comes in.

Hi Todd, You more than rock, you rock n' roll. I have never seen such speed in implementing changes. I rarely send a thank you note to avoid useless traffic but, this is worth it.

Hi list, I think this topic has been discused here some time ago, but I thought I'd bring it up again. I hope you forgive me. Is there anyone who would play online games rather than off-line games or the games against computer/robot? I like online games and playing with people very much and I find off-line games very boring. I don't have many online games and those games I have, I am not excellent at playing them, but I am sure it is a matter of practice. So what online games do you play? I have King's corner, Dice world and Lost cities, but these last two I haven't tried much. I am looking for more online games, mostly card games. So if anyone knows of any nice card game, please post it here. As for off-line games, I have Moxie which I like a lot. I hope this is not very much off-topic and I won't be kicked out by the moderator :-)) Have a wonderful day. Maria -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Cleaning an iPhone 5
I have been having problems with people hearing me when I talk on the phone, unless my phone is on speaker. I called Apple regarding this today, and they told me to clean the phone with a dry, linked-free cloth. When I had my wife, who is cited, assist with this project, she said that she saw that several of the small holes on the phone were filled with something. I am wondering how to best clean the phone. My wife has suggested using compressed air on the phone, as she believes wiping the phone with a cloth any further my cause the particles of whatever's filling those loopholes to go deeper into the machine. Has anyone had to clean an iPhone 5 before? If so, what method did you use? Thanks much Keith Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

iMessage: change the from address without deleting the conversation
I would like to change the outgoing address for iMessages and Facetime calls from my phone number to my Email address. In the case of iMessages, it seems that this is easily done for new conversations (i.e. for people you've never sent iMessages to) but apparently, not so easy for existing conversations. An Apple support article instructs me to delete an entire conversation and then begin a new one for contacts I've been messaging to see the new address. This seems pretty drastic and I'm not sure I want to lose my entire messaging history. Has anyone discovered a workaround or is this really the only way?

You may already be aware, but for years negotiations have been moving forward on what many have come to call the Treaty for the Blind http://cts.vresp.com/c/?Benetech/39440e0084/874891f16a/8f3cf35b96. The goal of the international treaty is to make it possible for people who are blind, or have other print disabilities such as dyslexia, to get access to the books they need for education, employment and inclusion in society—no matter where they live. It's something we already do, with great success, in the United States through Bookshare. However, private interests are trying to alter the treaty in such a way that it would become useless—even harmful. For example, they’re trying to get language adopted that basically says: “/*/if you can buy it, you can’t borrow it/*/.” This is not only an attack on people around the world with print disabilities—it’s also an attack on libraries, like Bookshare, and could have a drastic effect on the number of books you have access to. **Our biggest worry is this becoming a treaty that could stop Bookshare from serving our users in the United States the way we do today.** We need our government negotiating for a treaty that supports a library like Bookshare. That’s why we’re working with a coalition of disability and library groups, including the National Federation of the Blind and the American Council of the Blind, to fight back against the proposed changes by these private interests. We’ll do everything we can to secure a treaty that both protects the access we have now and that will benefit people with print disabilities around the world—but we need your help. **We’re asking you to take a moment to sign a petition on the White House’s website that urges the President to step up his support:http://ow.ly/lkJVs** http://cts.vresp.com/c/?Benetech/39440e0084/874891f16a/6809a11e5c**.**If we can get to 100,000 signatures, the White House is required to respond to the petition and will, hopefully, take positive action.

Maria, I charge my iPhone 5 nightly. On most days, it has anywhere from 50% to 60% of its charge remaining so I'll plug it into my computer's USB port while I'm working on the computer or watching TV before going to bed. I'll let it charge to 100% before turning in and will also back it up to my computer using iTunes and sync it as well. I know it is good to let the battery run down completely occasionally but I've not established a pattern for doing this so it's time to do it again.

RE: MP3 files and iTunes
Sandy, glad all your music is now there. The main benefit I find for playlists is to restrict which music I sync to my iPhone through iTunes. I've got too much music to sync all of it and iTunes allows you to specify which playlists to sync. Some will say that the native iTunes AAC file format sounds better and takes less space than mp3 but that's a personal preference issue and really only applies when the songs are first being ripped. If you take a music file that has already been compressed to an mp3 file format and then convert it to another compressed format, you will suffer some loss in quality. I'm not sure I'd be able to hear it but unless your mp3 files aren't working for you, I wouldn't go to the trouble of converting them to something else.

Did you do this through iTunes using the File, Add File to Library or File, Add Folder to Library menu options? My understanding is that music on your computer that you want to sync with your iDevice must be in your iTunes library and must reside in the folder structure you've identified to iTunes in its Edit, Preferences options. After you ensure that is the case, using playlists to control what content is synced is the way I handle music transfers.

I have copied them into my music library. I have a couple of questions. All of the music is by one artist; it is all in one folder in the same manner as the rest of the music files. And when I open an album file I see the individuall tracks, eachof which has an MP3 extension. . On my phone I see the artist but I don't see all of the music. Some of the albums don't show up at all. I right clicked on the individual song titles thinking I'd find a place to convert the file from MP3 but it's not there.

Maybe there is a usability change we need to make, so the menus show up better... because in many cases, they are there. Over a million of them in fact. And if you find a restaurant that doesn't have their menu in the app, we would love your help in asking them to be included. It's free for the restaurants, too, to have their menu in the database.

Re: How often do you charge your Iphone?
Hello, Maria. I usually charge my phone each evening, even though the battery might still be at 40%. However, I often bring my charger to work if I know I will be using the phone significantly in the evenings. Thus, I can give the phone a boost so that it will last until I'm ready to go to bed. I am looking into getting an external battery for my iPhone 5. Hopefully my three sons will get the hint and give one to me for Father's Day! :) -Original Message- From: Mária Orovčíková Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 8:19 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: How often do you charge your Iphone? Hi list, as the discussion about the cases has been going on and someone has mentioned they have their Iphone on a charger when they are at work, I am just wondering how often do you charge your Iphone? Do you put it on a charger before going to bed and keep it there until the morning? Do you have it on a charger permanently when you stay at home? Is there anyone who charges their Iphone more times a day? When you are out at work/school or anywhere else, do you keep it on a charger? As for me, I charge my Iphone almost every day, but it depends what I do with it. I always let battery go down to 1% and then put it on a charger. Once a month I let it go down to 0%.

Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?
I don't like living dangerously, especially when my Iphone is my only phone. The case that I have makes the phone easy to hold, and even though I am extremely careful with my phone, if I should drop it I want it protected. Each to their own.

Re: Apple just approved All Access: Talking Menus More
Hello Todd, Okay, I have been playing around with the app, and this is what I have found. I have never seen a menu button, but maybe that is because of the restaurants I am choosing. Todd, please answer one question: Are their some restaurants that have just a web site link and not an actual menu available? For example, I tried McDonalds, Papa Johns Pizza, Genos, and Subway. In all 4 attempts, I did not get a menu button, but I did get 4 buttons, Phone, Map, Web, and Weather. If I double tapped on the phone button, a pop up window came up with the phone number, and a cancel and call buttons. If I double tapped on the Maps button, my native maps app came up on my phone. If I double tapped on the weather button, the current conditions came up for my current location. If I double tapped on the Web button, then it brought up the current web site for that restaurant. Some of the sites were not accesssible with voice over. example, for the links on some of the sites, it would just say link, link, link, and not tell you what the link was actually for. For the Web part, I really did not have too much success.

Re: All Access Menus
Hi. Once I am in a menu, I can't get out of it. Any suggestions? Jenifer Barr Sent from my iPhone On May 29, 2013, at 8:35 AM, Cara Quinn modelc...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks very much Thom, for this info. Todd, once the new screen is loaded, one thing you might do to have Voiceover access this new screen properly is to issue the command: UIAccessibilityPostNotification(UIAccessibilityScreenChangedNotification, theNewView); or UIAccessibilityPostNotification(UIAccessibilityLayoutChangedNotification, theNewView); Where theNewView is the view with the restaurant elements in it. The first statement is meant for when an entire view changes and the second is meant when a portion of a view changes or if a view is rearranged. Does this make sense? this way Voiceover should stop seeing the list of restaurants that are not actually being shown on-screen visually.

If it were in a list, I could slide my finger down the left side, like I do with contacts. I think there is a bug. When in the icon view, whether it be just after double tapping a business, or in a menu, when I get to the end and I flick right, it starts saying the list of businesses again. I have limited sight, but don't see any listings. I know that when nearby is chosen, a list of businesses is populated. Would there be a way to hide businesses that I would never want to see on the list again? I think that this would cut down on the clutter, since not all businesses are restaurants. Would these non restaurant businesses have menus to offer? (IE price of services) Todd, all in all, a very good start for something that is needed in our blind community. Thanks for all you do.

You may already be aware, but for years negotiations have been moving forward on what many have come to call the Treaty for the Blind. The goal of the international treaty is to make it possible for people who are blind, or have other print disabilities such as dyslexia, to get access to the books they need for education, employment and inclusion in society—no matter where they live. It's something we already do, with great success, in the United States through Bookshare. However, private interests are trying to alter the treaty in such a way that it would become useless—even harmful. For example, they’re trying to get language adopted that basically says: “if you can buy it, you can’t borrow it.” This is not only an attack on people around the world with print disabilities—it’s also an attack on libraries, like Bookshare, and could have a drastic effect on the number of books you have access to. Our biggest worry is this becoming a treaty that could stop Bookshare from serving our users in the United States the way we do today. We need our government negotiating for a treaty that supports a library like Bookshare. That’s why we’re working with a coalition of disability and library groups, including the National Federation of the Blind and the American Council of the Blind, to fight back against the proposed changes by these private interests. We’ll do everything we can to secure a treaty that both protects the access we have now and that will benefit people with print disabilities around the world—but we need your help. We’re asking you to take a moment to sign a petition on the White House’s website that urges the President to step up his support: http://ow.ly/lkJVs. If we can get to 100,000 signatures, the White House is required to respond to the petition and will, hopefully, take positive action. With your help we know we can reach that number. We also recommend the petition at the National Federation of the Blind’s site, which is particularly accessible. Thank you for your time and support. Together, we believe that our collective voice can make a real impact. If you’re interested in more background on the treaty, here are some articles and resources you can review: • Huffington Post piece by Jim on how the treaty is being poisoned by private interests: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jim-fruchterman/poisoning-the-treaty-for-_b_3225181.html • WIRED Magazine article that gives some recent updates on the treaty:http://ow.ly/lfP15 Sincerely, Jim Fruchterman Betsy Beaumon, Bookshare P.S.

With that been said, I have to WARN you These companies :claim: to offer unlimited data, but that isn't actually true! I recommend that you read the terms of service for any of the said to beunlimited data cell phone companies before making a choice. I have looked into all 3 of the above companies. As you will see, if you choose to read their terms of service, these companies CAN and WILL turn off your cell phone without any notice or drastically slowdown your data speed. The companies also state that if they should turn off your data or slow down your speed it will be restored the next month. NOT true! My 17 year old son, who I refuse to add to my ATT plan, currently is with Straight Talk. He exceeded Straight Talks unlimited data for a month and they turned off his data. It has been 2 billing cycles and his speed is still very, very slow, to the point that he can't update any of his apps! Now if your plans are to just use your phone for making/receiving calls, checking/responding to email, you will be fine. I had Straight Talk for my cell phone service for many years before I lost my sight and was happy with their service. But if you intend on using your phone to stream movies, songs etc. you may want to look into a different plan with ATT, Verizon, or Sprint. Sprint has an unlimited data plan, but I'm not sure how that works, you will have to look into that one. Just remember Sprints coverage area in the US, in my opinion sucks! Read, Research, Decide!

Re: a bit confused re: I pod touch on apple store
This info from Apple should answer your questions: . It looks like an iPhone 5 , with the same 4 inch, 1136 x 640 pixel display. But the 5th-generation iPod touch doesn’t make phone calls, it’s even thinner than the new iPhone, and it has a last-generation processor. that’s because the new iPod touch has a faster processor, bigger screen, and a better camera, among other improvements. The 5th-gen iPod touch measures 6.1mm (0.24 inches) thick and weighs 88 grams (3.1 ounces). It’s the thinnest and lightest iPod touch to date, even though it has the largest screen yet. It’s powered by an Apple A5 processor — much like the iPad 2 or the iPhone 4. That’s a step up from the 4th generation iPod touch, which has an A4 chip, but it falls short of the new A6 processor in the iPhone 5. Apple says that chip offers twice the graphics and CPU performance of an A5. Apple says the iPod touch is the “world’s most popular” media player, and also portable gaming device — and the new dual core chip should help boost gaming performance. The new iPod touch has a 5MP camera, LED flash and autofocus — features which weren’t available on the fixed-focus camera on the last iPod touch. Apple is also included a panorama mode and support for 1080p HD video recording with the rear camera. Like the iPhone 5, there’s a new FaceTime HD front-facing camera which can shoot 720p video, and the company has added an optional wrist strap which comes in handy if you plan to use the iPod touch as a point-and-shoot camera, or hand it to your kid for mobile gaming. Apple is adding Bluetooth 4.0 to the iPod touch, along with dual-channel 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi. The iPod touch also now gets AirPlay mirroring support, letting you pair the device with an Apple TV to stream games, videos, or other content to a TV. And for the first time, you can now use Siri voice recognition on the iPod touch. -Original Message- From: Keith Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2013 3:01 AM To: apple app list Subject: a bit confused re: I pod touch on apple store Hi, just went to the apple store online and was checking out the I-pod touch.

Is there anyone who would play online games rather than off-line games or the games against computer/robot? I like online games and playing with people very much and I find off-line games very boring.

I have King's corner, Dice world and Lost cities, but these last two I haven't tried much. I am looking for more online games, mostly card games. So if anyone knows of any nice card game, please post it here. As for off-line games, I have Moxie which I like a lot.

Re: Serious help with syncing
Hello, Since you are syncing your iPHone contacts with iCloud, the easiest thing would be to have your computer sync contacts with iCloud as well. I don't know the specifics of how to set this up on a PC, but the basics are to install the iCloud Control Panel, which you can get through the Apple Update program, which you can find in your Start menu. Once you have this control panel installed, go into it and choose to sync your Outlook contacts with iCloud. Then whenever you make changes on either the iPHone or computer, they will be copied to the other device automatically. If you don't want to go this route, connect your iPHone to your computer. You may want to make the sidebar, formerly called the Source list, appear, if it's not onscreen already. I believe the command for this is Control-S in Windows. Find your iPHone in the list. Tab until you reach the Info radio button, and press the Spacebar to select it. Keep tabbing until you reach options for controlling what is synced, and choose to sync contacts with your computer. Tab to Apply, and press Enter.

I’m using a PC computer with Windows 7 and JAWS 14 and now have an IPhone 5 with the latest software update. I guess I’ve been doing a lot on my IPhone because my contacts list on the IPhone is very different from the older one I had using Outlook 2010. I basically wanted my Outlook contact list to be replaced by the contacts list I have on my IPhone. It is more up to date and I remember that with my IPhone 4, I used to be able to sync my Outlook and IPhone contact lists together. Can this still be done, and if so, how? I downloaded the newest Itunes, and it is somewhat different than what I remember. I know it deals a lot with the ICloud, and my IPhone is backing up my contacts list to the cloud all the time. I’ve gone so far as to delete my Outlook Contacts list (deleting just means creating another folder and moving everything there so that I don’t lose anything). I did sync the IPhone and went to the Info button which seemed to talk about contacts and such, but nothing happened. Can someone please walk me through this process? It’s important that I have this new contacts list on my computer as well. Thank you very much. Tom Cramer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Apple just approved All Access: Talking Menus More
Hello Todd: Let me start by thanking you for providing an update so quickly to incorporate our feedback. I can't wait to try out the new version. In your note, you also asked for additional feature suggestions for the app moving forward. I have one for you but I suspect it will take a lot of work to implement. The suggestion expands upon your current functionality to have the phone speak an order to service staff if the user of the product is deaf. Many of us travel to foreign countries for business or pleasure. In many cases, I am not conversant enough in the local language to order food and such. Could a translation feature be built into this app both to allow us to read the menus and to voice our order in several languages to be heard by the service staff? Thank you for considering this request. I certainly understand if this goes beyond your vision of the product. Bob Fenton Sent from my iPhone On 2013-05-29, at 7:51 PM, Todd Bernhard t...@toddbernhard.com wrote: Thank you everyone for the great, constructive feedback. We've learned a lot and I wanted to give you an update. I just submitted an update to Apple based on all the comments received so far! First, I've built over 80 apps, for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Mac OS and even Samsung Bada. This is the most complex one I've ever built. In addition the emphasis on voiceover, the app is also meant for the Deaf, Non-Verbal and Non-English-speaking audience, as it can speak the order to the waitstaff, independently of voiceover. The app is accessing four different servers from three different companies. One server, in Switzerland, is for the logo scanning, one in Rochester, NY (soon to migrate to Amazon's cloud servers) is our own with our internal database with photos and premium customer info, another in Las Vegas is for the text-to-speech hints (which you do not need if you are using voiceover) and the last one, in San Francisco, is for the restaurant/business/menu database. That service and server is provided by Locu.com. That last one is where we have the following issues. First, thanks to the popularity of the app, we went over their previously undisclosed limit of 1,000 requests per day, around 8am Pacific time. That is why some of you saw the app crashing. Since that provider doesn't open until 9am, I had to keep calling until they answered to get our limit raised. (I asked for 100,000!) It was raised and I've made an edit to the app (for the next update) that will display a message instead of crashing if that ever happens again! Next, is the issue of no menus. That was probably because their server offers info for more than just restaurants. For example, they have hair salons, spas, etc. I'm changing the app to just show restaurants, by default, and we may re-enable other businesses in a future update, but because it was causing confusion, I don't think it should default to all businesses. That other info is valuable, but the confusion seems to be the bigger problem. Regarding stale data, I have noticed this and complained about it, too. I think the provider's emphasis, understandably, is on growing their database and there is less focus on pruning out old info. They are a startup, too, and I can relate to prioritizing resources. But I think we will create a button that lets you report old data and then we can blacklist it from the app, even if it hasn't been removed from that provider's database. To be honest, it's quite remarkable that they've built this menu system, without requiring restaurants to do anything. They search for websites, and even scan paper menus and have over one million such menus now. They have signed deals with GoDaddy and Yelp so we're in good company. And they are excited to be part of this accessible effort. Re voiceover and accessibility. The specific feedback was great, and I believe I've made all of the changes. I've used the app repeatedly in voiceover mode and I think I've eliminated everything people were running into. For the technically inclined, you might be interested to know that there are at least 109 specific accessibility commands in the app source code. The problem wasn't really the lack of voiceover commands but that we were layering views on top of previous ones, and that meant in some views, if there wasn't another accessible element displayed, the ones below it would peak through. That has been fixed. I will change how you edit settings, like manual address versus GPS, as this was confusing even to sighted folks! Regarding finding the app, I sent the initial email shortly after Apple notified us it was approved, and it takes some time for apps to show up, especially worldwide. Nobody should have a problem finding it now, either by searching for all access or search for blind menus or use this link: http://bit.ly/AllAccessMenus For a

When legal be the laws of men, and terror claims the heart,, seek the strength which dwells within, and n'er let it depart. When hungry grow the jaws of wrath,, fed by wrong demand,, seek then the cleansing touch of God, and shelter in his hand. Never stroke the beast of vengeance, lest it bite you true,, seek the High Protector, and let him care for you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: a bit confused re: I pod touch on apple store
Hi Keith, russ listed most of the features of the iPod Touch Fifth Generation and you definitely do not want to buy a Fourth Generation iPod Touch any more even though you can still do so, but I think only a 16 Gig model and it is only about $50 cheaper than a 16 Gig iPod Touch Fifth Gen. However, the much faster processor, the much better camera and SIRI alone make it totally worthwhile to buy the Fifth Gen.

Re: what do you use your iPhone for?
We have ditched the land line except as a fax line that my wife needs for work. The robo dialers still call the number but never do they fax anything which I suppose is good. We use our iPhones exclusively for calling which is why we got the package with unlimited calling. I hate having to tell people hey, I have to let you go here. I'm on my day-time minutes. That's like saying, your not important enough for me to waste my precious minutes on. Anybody remember when if you wanted to call anybody you just called them and talked as long as you wanted? I'd suspect if people made more of a big deal over it that the practice would stop but people never bother to complained and figure that's the way it is. - Original Message - From: Lelia Struve To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 12:44 PM Subject: what do you use your iPhone for? chuck, I am like you, I hardly use the phone but I use it for a lot of other things. -- Lelia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: How often do you change your IPhone?
I charge mine every night unplugging it in the morning, making sure app switcher is empty, then turn it off, plug it back in and usually I am set for the day, once I was not, once I went to zero percent but usually I try to at least once a month drop it to 10% before charging it again.

Hi list, as the discussion about the cases has been going on and someone has mentioned they have their Iphone on a charger when they are at work, I am just wondering how often do you charge your Iphone? Do you put it on a charger before going to bed and keep it there until the morning? Do you have it on a charger permanently when you stay at home? Is there anyone who charges their Iphone more times a day? When you are out at work/school or anywhere else, do you keep it on a charger? As for me, I charge my Iphone almost every day, but it depends what I do with it. I always let battery go down to 1% and then put it on a charger. Once a month I let it go down to 0%.

RE: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?
I use a case, when I first got mine I had a case where it sort of sat inside, it was the case for an older iPhone but I could clip it to a pocket. I bought an Otterbox and have never looked back. I have had at least two times when I dropped the phone, once I was in the hospital and it got pushed off a table that was high; by an aide who thought it was cool to reorganize everything on my husband's table when he was having a procedure done. Recently I got tangled up in cables and pulled it off the desk, it landed on my foot, but I am glad I have that protection and a lot of my coworkers ask me where I got the case.

Update - Voiceover accessibility of the Booking.com iPhone app
Hello List, I just received the below message from the gentleman who has been very good about keeping me up-to-date about my request to make the Booking.com app more accessible. I sent my initial message which is at the very bottom of this thread on May 15, just 2 weeks ago. I received a prompt reply and on May 21, only 9 days ago, I received an email saying that the team was going to look into making improvements. This is definitely an example where a company seems to take accessibility seriously and I hope others on the list who travel for business and leisure will give this app a try and, if it works better, use it to book hotels. So far doing the initial search is easy and also selecting a room and completing the booking is easy. It's mostly browsing through the list of search results that is slow and sluggish. I'll post a review once the update is out and I have a chance to check it out.

The same list member mentioned that he now uses Wotif and I just downloaded the app and found it much more accessible so for the time I will also most likely book my hotels via Wotif.

Re: Apple just approved All Access: Talking Menus More
I wonder if this type of app wouldn't be a better solution if it was user driven, as well as business driven. What I mean is, if a menu is available online for a particular place you enjoy going to, and the app doesn't have this menu in it's library, it might be a good idea to give the user a way to submit the site, or menu to the developer for inclusion. Kind of like the Traffic add-on for Navigon operates. Just a thought.

Re: free pedometer today
There is already a pedometer on iPhone. And, it's totally accessible. All you need to do is to enable it for it to show up as another app on your phone. To access it, do the following. 1 Open Settings. 2 Flick right until you get to Nike Plus iPod and single-finger double tap. 3 Flick right to get to Nike Plus iPod and double tap the toggle from off to on.

Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?
I don't use a case anymore. When I first bought my i phone 4 I got the Otterbox Defender case, thinking I needed that much protection. I guess I'm just not that tough on my stuff. I think this case does give lots of protection, unfortunately, it adds a lot of bulk, too. the one thing I did really like about this case was and is the screen protecter in it. I'm cleaning the screen more now, just because!

RE: Moderator note -was- Re: Apple just approved All Access: Talking Menus More
Does anyone know if you are looking a menu how to see all of the menu, I can read the first screen of let's say, Olive Garden but that lists a few appetizers and I can't seem to continue past what is on that screen. I also would prefer list views. I have only downloaded the app and taken a cursory look but can't figure out why a barbershop is under restaurants, it would be nice to see that when I am looking for it but, not when I am trying to read a restaurant menu.

I recently participated in evaluating 2 apps created by graduating software engineers at McGill University. Both groups of students had chosen to create apps that were VO accessible. We have to understand that there are a lot of people out there wanting to work for us. After the first evaluation I pointed out to them the same points you so brilliantly described, especially our need to have things open in different views. Within 3 weeks, both groups came back with apps that were completely VO accessible. Since the developers of this app are among us, let's continue to point out things that are wrong but making sure to give our messages a friendly tone. Ron Danvers From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Cara Quinn Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 12:21 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Moderator note -was- Re: Apple just approved All Access: Talking Menus More Hi All, I'd like to ask that we keep our critiques of this app positive so that the developer can benefit from our knowledge and experience here, rather than chastising him for taking the app's interface in a direction that may not be as beneficial for us as we'd like. there are some great insights we can offer here and this can open up a really good discussion worthy of referencing again and again if we can focus the ideas and needs we have in positive statements that can help Todd refine this app to work more smoothly for us as Voiceover users. I'll start: Todd, as some have said here already, a really good way of delivering data to a VO user is to allow a double tap on the item one desires to obtain more info about. Yes, you've done this to a degree, but you might take this further in that double tapping the restaurant name actually brings up a new view with only that restaurant's data in it. I.E. Perhaps the Map, phone and menu buttons are the only thing now visible in the view. -Or, you might have the map visible (so no need for a map button) and just have the button to call the restaurant and a button to show the menu. Once the user double taps the menu button, a new view will again open, which contains only the menu categories, which the user might finally double tap to access the actual menu items themselves, for that particular category. Does this make sense? This is only one approach but it is very helpful to a VO user to have these data separated out into discreet views whereas now, when a VO user brings up a menu, not only is the menu shown, but also the other restaurants in the list, which makes for a less than optimal user experience for someone using Voiceover. Does this help? Just for a reference, a double-tap with Voiceover running is equivalent to a single tap with VO turned off. If you'd like more advice about how VO works and good accessibility practices for iOS feel free to email me privately as well as check out Apple's Accessibility programming guide and UIAccessibility Protocol Reference on: http://developer.apple.com As I said above, my approach is certainly not the only one and others here have some very good insights to offer. Let's start a good forward-thinking discussion on this! K? Thanks to all of us for this!

Re: which headphones
Buddy, I'm currently waiting on my pair of the Aftershoxz Bluez to be shipped. They've been on back order since early May. These are the Bluetooth version of the wired sports headphones being sold. As far as I know, the only difference between the two versions of the wired sports headphones is that one has a mic and the other doesn't. Oh, and they are about $40 cheaper than the Bluetooth version. I chose the wireless root because I'm not crazy about hauling around a fanny pack, a guide dog, and more wires. I've been using a Trekker Breeze for several years and even though I can keep the speaker wires contained, I have occasionally gotten it tangled in my dog's leash, my fanny pack strap, and yes, once, even my hair, though you probably won't have this specific issue. grin I know some people have discussed a delay with VO and the Bluetooth devices, so I guess that might be an issue. For me, though, the benefits offered by my ability to hear my surroundings as well as VO on my phone is most likely going to outweigh any delay that occurs.

Moderator note - Please read
Hi all. I'm just letting you guys know that I've not been keeping up with the list for the last several days like I usually do. So, if you have noticed any list issues which have seemed to not be taken care of, please note that I'm slowly catching up as time permits. These last couple of weeks have been rather full of real life events both personal as well as professional. As always, you can write me directly if something comes up which needs my immediate attention and I haven't yet seen it on list. I cleared the moderation queue earlier this morning and so that should be fine for a bit. Thanks all, and happy iOSing. -- Raul A.

RE: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case?
Well, last fall I had two falls, one over a crack in a side walk, one over a rolled bit of asphalt at a curb. Both times I landed on the side I carry my phone, in an Otter Box case. It is still working despite the two falls and the two drops it has had in the past year, I try to be careful, but sometimes things just happen. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 8:21 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: How many folks carry their iPhone without a case? I don't have a case, but I do have a screen protector. I have the screen protector from SpeedDots. Screen protectors don't take away from the look and feel of the device, and the few dots help keep me oriented, especially when I'm using my phone at a strange angle. With my first two Nokia phones, I got cases for them. I also got cases for my MP3 players. When I got my Nokia E71X, I decided that it was just too attractive to wrap in plastic, leather or silicon. I haven't used any cases since then. I take good care of my devices, keeping them in a pocket, brief case and so on. I don't think less of anyone who puts a case on their phone, but I just like the sleek elegance of the device, and I want to enjoy that instead of a 3rd party case.

In my opinion, unless your getting an anti glare protector, they are the most gimmicky thing going. haha.

Re: Jailbreak Apple TV?
Has anyone actually been able to use XBMC which afaik is the only piece of software with a GUI that you can install after jailbreaking? Google suggests that it is completely unusable with vo, but from what some people have been saying on the list it would appear that this isn't the case. Could people confirm if they are talking from first hand experience or if they are just going on information that they have heard as is the case with this message? I'd hate for someone to go out, buy a device, jailbreak and then find that it was inaccessible. As a side note, most versions of the stripped down iOs that it runs aren't jailbreakable. If there has been progress in the accessibility of XBMC type apps this may convince me to by one as I find the out of the box functionality quite disappointing, especially as not everyone in my family has an iDevice and the vod options that are available in the UK are extremely poor.

I do not see settings button, search, browse by date, delete, and next toolbar. Maybe double tap on the next toolbar to see if it brings those options up. What version do you have?

And, it's totally accessible. All you need to do is to enable it for it to show up as another app on your phone. To access it, do the following. 1 Open Settings. 2 Flick right until you get to Nike Plus iPod and single-finger double tap. 3 Flick right to get to Nike Plus iPod and double tap the toggle from off to on. There are other options here that you can look through and set the way you want.You can even select a power song from your personal library to get that blood moving around!There is a spoken voice and you can select and more. - Original Message - From: Chuck Dean To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 1:41 PM Subject: Re: free pedometer today That was a good deal.

Re: Apple just approved All Access: Talking Menus More
Wow Todd! That makes me tired just from reading all this. I guess I just assumed that because it was an app that it would be less of a headache then writing a hole computer program. Now I know! Thanks for all your efforts on behalf of the blind. - Original Message - From: Todd Bernhard To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: Todd Bernhard Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 6:51 PM Subject: Re: Apple just approved All Access: Talking Menus More Thank you everyone for the great, constructive feedback. We've learned a lot and I wanted to give you an update. I just submitted an update to Apple based on all the comments received so far! First, I've built over 80 apps, for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Mac OS and even Samsung Bada. This is the most complex one I've ever built. In addition the emphasis on voiceover, the app is also meant for the Deaf, Non-Verbal and Non-English-speaking audience, as it can speak the order to the waitstaff, independently of voiceover. The app is accessing four different servers from three different companies. One server, in Switzerland, is for the logo scanning, one in Rochester, NY (soon to migrate to Amazon's cloud servers) is our own with our internal database with photos and premium customer info, another in Las Vegas is for the text-to-speech hints (which you do not need if you are using voiceover) and the last one, in San Francisco, is for the restaurant/business/menu database. That service and server is provided by Locu.com. That last one is where we have the following issues. First, thanks to the popularity of the app, we went over their previously undisclosed limit of 1,000 requests per day, around 8am Pacific time. That is why some of you saw the app crashing. Since that provider doesn't open until 9am, I had to keep calling until they answered to get our limit raised. (I asked for 100,000!) It was raised and I've made an edit to the app (for the next update) that will display a message instead of crashing if that ever happens again! Next, is the issue of no menus. That was probably because their server offers info for more than just restaurants. For example, they have hair salons, spas, etc. I'm changing the app to just show restaurants, by default, and we may re-enable other businesses in a future update, but because it was causing confusion, I don't think it should default to all businesses. That other info is valuable, but the confusion seems to be the bigger problem. Regarding stale data, I have noticed this and complained about it, too. I think the provider's emphasis, understandably, is on growing their database and there is less focus on pruning out old info. They are a startup, too, and I can relate to prioritizing resources. But I think we will create a button that lets you report old data and then we can blacklist it from the app, even if it hasn't been removed from that provider's database. To be honest, it's quite remarkable that they've built this menu system, without requiring restaurants to do anything. They search for websites, and even scan paper menus and have over one million such menus now. They have signed deals with GoDaddy and Yelp so we're in good company. And they are excited to be part of this accessible effort. Re voiceover and accessibility. The specific feedback was great, and I believe I've made all of the changes. I've used the app repeatedly in voiceover mode and I think I've eliminated everything people were running into. For the technically inclined, you might be interested to know that there are at least 109 specific accessibility commands in the app source code. The problem wasn't really the lack of voiceover commands but that we were layering views on top of previous ones, and that meant in some views, if there wasn't another accessible element displayed, the ones below it would peak through. That has been fixed. I will change how you edit settings, like manual address versus GPS, as this was confusing even to sighted folks! Regarding finding the app, I sent the initial email shortly after Apple notified us it was approved, and it takes some time for apps to show up, especially worldwide. Nobody should have a problem finding it now, either by searching for all access or search for blind menus or use this link: http://bit.ly/AllAccessMenus For a restaurant to be included in the app, or to update their existing info, they can either contact us directly, which is preferred, or they can contact Locu.com who is the menu database provider. There is no charge to be listed and no charge to have a menu included. Both Locu and our firm, All Access, offer premium features where we plan to earn revenue. Locu charges restaurants to upload their own photos, whereas our focus is on letting users upload their photos, via a scavenger hunt style contest, in exchange for gift cards from the restaurant. We also charge for
