RE: best youtube app question

2013-07-25 Thread Thanh Vinh
Hi! I'm using the one from Google Inc. and there's nothing to complain about 
it. Maybe that's the best 'cause it serves all my need and certainly, it's 
fully accessible.

 Hi everyone, 
 
 I have a memory blank about a good yutube app discussed on this list. 
 If I remember correctly it was better than the official one put out by 
 Google. 
 
 Thanks for refreshing my memory.

Re: selecting text from a webpage

2013-07-25 Thread Jennie Facer
There is a way to do it, but it is hard for me at least. You use your roter to 
select lines or words. Now double tap and hold on the beginning of where you 
want to select. Then start the pinch gesture.

I hope that works!

Yes, it requires using the pinch gesture whilst the rotor is set on characters,

pod cast comparing main stream IOS GPS apps

2013-07-25 Thread Mike Arrigo
Hey everyone, some of you may remember a couple years ago that I did a 
comparison of the main stream gps apps on the iphone, apps such as 
motion x GPS, navigon, etc. I've thought about doing an updated one, 
especially since blind cool tech no longer exists, it would be on the 
blind geek zone web site. Of course, with the sendero gps app, it may 
be that blind users do not use these apps as much. I'm more than 
willing to do an updated comparison, it would be kind of fun, but was 
wondering how much interest people would have in this. Obviously 
there's no point in doing it if there is not a lot of interest, so 
thought I would ask first.

camfind, taptapsee, goggles etc

2013-07-25 Thread Dan Beaver
Hi all,

I thought I'd get your opinions before I go chatting with the developers of 
these kinds of apps.

I have found that one of the biggest difficulties I have is holding the phone 
steady enough to take clear pictures.  I personally can't afford purchasing 
devices to hold the phone so I came up with another idea.

I have found that I can take pretty good pics if the phone is resting on a 
table top or something.  However, I still tend to jiggle the phone when tapping 
the button to take a pic or start the video and the like.

My thought here is asking the developers to add the ability to activate pic 
taking or video starting and stopping via a sound.  this would enable us to 
position the phone and then clap our hands or whistle or something to activate 
it.

I figure that if you folks feel this would be helpful enough I'd start the 
discussion with the developers and see if they would be open to such a change.

So, what do you all think?

Thanks.

Dan Beaver

Re: camfind, taptapsee, goggles etc

2013-07-25 Thread Penny Golden


There is another way to do it;  you could press your button, but know 
that it would not activate for 3 seconds or something, just time enough 
for you to get quiet or not move, or whatever.

Just my two cents, and probably not worth that much.
If you're using the phone at home, you could figure out a steady way to 
use it and not purchase a tripod or some other kind of holding device.

RE: Seeking Advice on Creating Ring Tones

2013-07-25 Thread Rose Combs
I wish someone would right a straight forward guide for ring tones,
everything I see looks like 20 steps to nowhere.  I either buy them, only a
couple, or, send them from some package to myself, save the files in my
downloads folder, then open and they seem to go where they belong but, I
don't think I would ever venture in to how to actually creat one from
iTunes.  Why something should be so difficult seems strange to me.  I just
read the Fydora Outlier post and after reading it decided that I will never,
ever make a ringtone from scratch.

Hi marcy,

 

While your instructions summarize the basic steps, Bill is not using a Mac
and there are a few more steps involved on a PC. Also, if somebody has
selected MP3 as their Codec they won't have an option to create an AAC file
and would have to first change this. Just saying.

RE: Review of Fujitsu Scansnap iX500 Sheetscanner and Scansnap app

2013-07-25 Thread Rose Combs
I have used an Optacon for probably 36 years and I have to say, unless
someone prints very well, it is next to impossible for me to read
handwritten notes.  I had one deskmate in my office in the late 1970s who
could print drug names into a book so that although not like the printed
text I could manage to read them but, handwriting is best done with the
eyes, in my case by asking someone to assist.

I have never tried to use OCR on handwritten letters or notes. You may get

this point most OCR programs do not handle handwriting well at all and you
will most likely get jibberish.

Subject: Review of Fujitsu Scansnap iX500 Sheetscanner and Scansnap app

 

Hello List,

 

I just purchased a Fujitsu Scansnap iX500 scanner for my business and wanted
to briefly mention/review it since it is capable of scanning directly to an
iOS device wirelessly via the Scansnap app which is available for free in
the app store, see link:

 

https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/scansnap-connect-application/id464728181?mt=
8

 

This is not a solution for everybody since the iX500 is $500, it still is on
sale right now at www.MemoryExpress.com in Canada for $439.95.

 

The iX500 is a Sheetscanner (no flatbed) with a very small footprint, it can
scan double sided pages in one pass at a rate of 25 pages per minute and has
an impressive feature set. Here is a link to the Scansnap iX500:

 

http://scanners.fcpa.fujitsu.com/scansnap11/iX500.html

 

I installed the scanner yesterday and it was very straight forward. The
initial setup has to be done on the computer and I believe this scanner
would not work with something like Openbook directly since it uses its own
driver instead of a standard TWAIN driver. One could of course scan the
image and then import and recognize the image in Openbook.

After I connected it to my WiFi I opened the app on my iPhone 4S and the
scanner was immediately recognized. As soon as I opened the app, Jaws now
says Connection of iX500 has been switched to the mobile device.

If I put a page or for that matter up to 50 pages into the paper infeed tray
and then tap the scan button in the app which, by the way appears to be
fully accessible, the scanner starts feeding pages through at a rate of just
over 2 seconds a page. The scanned file then appears in the file list of the
app and it has a default name that is the current date and time. When I
double tapped on the file the Open In dialogue popped up and I was able to
open the scan in Prizmo and recognize it. beautiful.

As soon as I exit the app Jaws says iX500 is ready to scan which means it
has disconnected from the app and is once again ready to scan to the PC.

 

The primary use of that scanner at my business is to scan all paperwork,
invoices, statements and so on since I only keep digital copies and no paper
copies. Typically my staff does this, but on the PC it is also very simple,
I can just put a page or pages in the tray, press the scan button on the
scanner and the pages are scanned. At the end a screen pops up and I can
select to Save to a Folder, send the scan to email, send it to the printer
(for photocopying) or I can directly to applications like Word, Excel etc.

The Save to Folder function is simple, it shows a Save As dialogue with the
default file name (date and time) which can be edited, then there is a
Browse button where I can select the folder where I want to save the scan.
Once I press Save that window closes and I can start the next scan from the
scanner.

 

You can even feed embossed cards like credit cards through the feeder and it
will take paper as small as a business card and as wide as 8.5. For really
small or flimsy receipts the scanner comes with a carrier sheet. It consists
of 2 transparent sheets of thin plastic which are glued together only at the
short top edge. You put the receipt in between and then feed the carrier
sheet through with the laminated edge going in first. once again brilliant
and there is no need to use a glue stick and glue a small piece of paper
onto a bigger piece so you can feed it through the scanner.

2013-07-25 Thread Donald L. Roberts
Today's Blind bargains lists the Rocketfish QX4 mobile headset as being 
on sale for just under $9.00 U.S. I attempted to Google as to whether 
this had the A2Dp protocol but couldn't find an answer. Does anyone on 
list know with certainty whether this headset has the A2Dp protocol?


Thanks.

Hey everyone, some of you may remember a couple years ago that I did a 
comparison of the main stream gps apps on the iphone, apps such as motion x 
GPS, navigon, etc. I've thought about doing an updated one, especially since 
blind cool tech no longer exists, it would be on the blind geek zone web site. 
Of course, with the sendero gps app, it may be that blind users do not use 
these apps as much. I'm more than willing to do an updated comparison, it would 
be kind of fun, but was wondering how much interest people would have in this. 
Obviously there's no point in doing it if there is not a lot of interest, so 
thought I would ask first.

RE: camfind, taptapsee, goggles etc

2013-07-25 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Dan and Penny,

 

Unfortunately, using the volume up button to take a picture which works just
fine in the stock camera app does not work either in Tap Tap See or Talking
Goggles, at least not on my 4S running iOS 6.1.3.

In Talking Goggles I switched to video mode and tried the Play/Answer button
on the headset which starts video recording in the stock camera app and it
also does not do anything.

 

Prizmo used to have a verbal activation option, you would just say Take
Picture and it worked well. I assume since it worked in Prizmo it is
possible unless Apple has changed something in iOS 6 which prevents
developers from implementing such a verbal command. I can't remember when
Prizmo got rid of it and why they did so.

 

I think if you start a dialogue with the developers of Tap Tap See and/or
Talking Goggles you should definitely mention that it would be good if this
default behavior which is present in the Camera app could be implemented in
their apps. I think your problem would largely be solved if you could use
the volume up or Play/Answer button on the headset to take the picture or
start video recording although for using Talking Goggles in video mode it
doesn't really matter. First of all, you can start video and then use both
hands to hold your phone whichever way you like including putting it on the
table to steady it. Video mode in Talking Goggles looks all the time and it
will just start recognizing text whenever it sees any. Also, if you don't
stop video but just exit the app, the next time you open the app it will
already be recording already. But being able to use the volume up button on
the phone or on the headset to take a picture in Tap Tap See and Goggles
would definitely be a good idea.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

There is another way to do it;  you could press your button, but know that
it would not activate for 3 seconds or something, just time enough for you
to get quiet or not move, or whatever.
Just my two cents, and probably not worth that much.
If you're using the phone at home, you could figure out a steady way to use
it and not purchase a tripod or some other kind of holding device.

Hi all, 

 

I thought I'd get your opinions before I go chatting with the developers of
these kinds of apps. 

 

I have found that one of the biggest difficulties I have is holding the
phone steady enough to take clear pictures.  I personally can't afford
purchasing devices to hold the phone so I came up with another idea. 

 

I have found that I can take pretty good pics if the phone is resting on a
table top or something.  However, I still tend to jiggle the phone when
tapping the button to take a pic or start the video and the like. 

 

My thought here is asking the developers to add the ability to activate pic
taking or video starting and stopping via a sound.  this would enable us to
position the phone and then clap our hands or whistle or something to
activate it. 

 

I figure that if you folks feel this would be helpful enough I'd start the
discussion with the developers and see if they would be open to such a
change. 

 

So, what do you all think? 

 

Thanks.

RE: Seeking Advice on Creating Ring Tones

2013-07-25 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Rose,

 

I believe Fedora's instructions are for the Mac. I am not saying it's easier
in Windows, but I posted my instructions quite a few times now and send them
directly to a few more people and I believe they were all able to follow
them and create ringtones. Yes, there are about 8 or 10 steps involved
depending on how I word it and also on how technically experienced somebody
is. However, if you do get it to work and do it a few times, it takes little
more than a minute or 2 to create a ringtone. The most time is spend on
setting the start and end point if you hav a song where you don't want to
start at the beginning and simply set the end point to 38 or 40 seconds
because if you want to start a few seconds in and stop at a point that makes
sense you have to set your start and end point, listen to the selected part
of the song, then fine tune your start and end points where you listen each
time after you do so. Obviously if you do this 3, 4 or 5 times you can
easily spend 3 to 5 minutes doing that. After that it takes another 30
seconds to create the ringtone, rename the file, copy it into your ringtones
folder and play it so it gets added to the library. The basic steps are
really only that:

 

1.   Select the part of the song you want by setting the start end end
point in the Options tab in Get Info.

2.   Right click on the song and select Create AAC Version.

3.   Go to the newly created ringtone, select Show in Windows
Explorer, then rename it so it has an M4R instead of an M4A extension.

4.   Now select copy or Move and paste it into the Tones folder which is
in the iTunes Media folder.

5.   Press enter on it to play it which automatically adds it to your
Tones library, then sync it to your phone.

 

If you want my more detailed description just write to me off-list and I'll
send it to you. There is a big difference between a process you perceive to
be difficult because it involves a lot of small yet relatively simple steps
and one that really is difficult.

 

Lastly, there are several apps out there which create the actual ringtone
and which are accessible and being used by members of this list. However,
you still have to email the ringtone to you or use iTunes file transfer to
copy it from your phone into the Tones folder where you can play it and then
sync it. Personally I don't necessarily find these apps any easier than
using iTunes and really the only thing they don't require you to do is
rename the file with the M4R extension.

Sieghard

RE: Seeking Advice on Creating Ring Tones

2013-07-25 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Sherry,

Are they M4R files? If so just copy them into the Automatically Add to
iTunes folder, then open iTunes and they should be moved to the Tones or
Ringtones folder. Both the Automatically Add to iTunes and the Tones or
Ringtones folder are in your iTunes Media folder which in turn is in a
folder just called iTunes and if you did the default installation, it is
in your Music folder.

Once you have done this, you have to connect your phone, check the Tones
button under Devices then tab and make sure you check Sync All
Ringtones. This process is no different than syncing apps or music, either
select to sync all tones or if you choose to only sync selected tones you
have to tap into the listview where all your tones are and check those you
want, then sync.

If your files are not in the iTunes format and do not have the M4R extension
they will not work.

If you can't get this to work you can contact me off-list and I'll see if I
can help. My email is siegh...@live.ca

Sieghard

Hi Rose,

 

I believe Fedora's instructions are for the Mac. I am not saying it's easier
in Windows, but I posted my instructions quite a few times now and send them
directly to a few more people and I believe they were all able to follow
them and create ringtones. Yes, there are about 8 or 10 steps involved
depending on how I word it and also on how technically experienced somebody
is. However, if you do get it to work and do it a few times, it takes little
more than a minute or 2 to create a ringtone. The most time is spend on
setting the start and end point if you hav a song where you don't want to
start at the beginning and simply set the end point to 38 or 40 seconds
because if you want to start a few seconds in and stop at a point that makes
sense you have to set your start and end point, listen to the selected part
of the song, then fine tune your start and end points where you listen each
time after you do so. Obviously if you do this 3, 4 or 5 times you can
easily spend 3 to 5 minutes doing that. After that it takes another 30
seconds to create the ringtone, rename the file, copy it into your ringtones
folder and play it so it gets added to the library. The basic steps are
really only that:

 

1.   Select the part of the song you want by setting the start end end
point in the Options tab in Get Info.

2.   Right click on the song and select Create AAC Version.

3.   Go to the newly created ringtone, select Show in Windows
Explorer, then rename it so it has an M4R instead of an M4A extension.

4.   Now select copy or Move and paste it into the Tones folder which is
in the iTunes Media folder.

5.   Press enter on it to play it which automatically adds it to your
Tones library, then sync it to your phone.

 

If you want my more detailed description just write to me off-list and I'll
send it to you. There is a big difference between a process you perceive to
be difficult because it involves a lot of small yet relatively simple steps
and one that really is difficult.

 

Lastly, there are several apps out there which create the actual ringtone
and which are accessible and being used by members of this list. However,
you still have to email the ringtone to you or use iTunes file transfer to
copy it from your phone into the Tones folder where you can play it and then
sync it. Personally I don't necessarily find these apps any easier than
using iTunes and really the only thing they don't require you to do is
rename the file with the M4R extension.

Sieghard

I wish someone would right a straight forward guide for ring tones,
everything I see looks like 20 steps to nowhere.  I either buy them, only a
couple, or, send them from some package to myself, save the files in my
downloads folder, then open and they seem to go where they belong but, I
don't think I would ever venture in to how to actually creat one from
iTunes.  Why something should be so difficult seems strange to me.

Thanks. They are the right file type with the right extension. I'm not on

iPad mini questions with Focus 40 Blue Braille Display!

2013-07-25 Thread Nimit Gmail
Hello all, got an iPad mini with a braille display and a bluetooth keyboard 
that is built-in my case!  Now, I have some questions for you guys. 
1.  When I'm viewing my mails in the mail app, I don't find the compose button 
anywhere.   In the iPhone,  it is in the bottom corner, but in the iPad, I have 
to open a message and then, I see the compose button there.  What is the 
easiest way to find it?   
2.  When my braille display is connected with my iPad, I don't see the 
on-screen keyboard.  How do you toggle the on-screen keyboard?  
3.  When my braille display is connnected to my iPad, and I turn the display 
off when I don't need it, and activate it again, it doesn't recognize itself 
and I have to go through the pair option all the time.  What is the best way 
you guys accomplish this?   
That's it for now.  Will ask more later.  Thank you for your assistance.

Re: pod cast comparing main stream IOS GPS apps

Thanks for the kind words. If I do this one, it would be with 5 apps, 
the new google maps, navigon, garmin, TomTom, and motion x GPS drive. I 
know mapquest is also free but the interface in this app is difficult 
to work with and very confusing I think. For figuring out where you 
are, I would use blind square. This pod cast would mainly be for those 
who did not want to pay for the sendero app. I enjoy walking, so could 
get a bit of exercise with this one.

Re: Question re bluetooth headset

2013-07-25 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I assume you saw the user's manual at 
http://www.rocketfishproducts.com/cms/documents/Manuals/RF-QX4_11-0400_MAN_V2_EN_Final_lr.pdf


In the manual it says:

The headset supports the following specifications:
• Bluetooth Core Specification v2.1+EDR
• Handsfree Profile (HFP) v1.5
• Headset Profile (HSP) v1.1

There's also no reference in the manual to A2DP or listening to music, 
so I think you're out of luck.

facebook and facely

Is the applevis podcast on the native FB up-to-date? Bought Facely, but spent a 
dollar and disappointed. It did what I  wanted, but it kept
throwing me out of the app and freezing  my iPhone screen. Guess, though more 
intuitive to me, not worth my dollar.

Hi Mike.

Does garmin provide navigation for walking. I bought it long ago, and I really 
like the interface, but I never get garmin to work for walking.

Best regards Annie.

 Thanks for the kind words. If I do this one, it would be with 5 apps, the new 
 google maps, navigon, garmin, TomTom, and motion x GPS drive. I know mapquest 
 is also free but the interface in this app is difficult to work with and very 
 confusing I think. For figuring out where you are, I would use blind square. 
 This pod cast would mainly be for those who did not want to pay for the 
 sendero app. I enjoy walking, so could get a bit of exercise with this one.

Re: iPad mini questions with Focus 40 Blue Braille Display!

2013-07-25 Thread Annie Skov Nielsen
Hi.

I can answer the question number 2 press dots 1.4.6 + space and you can toggle 
between on screen keyboard and braille keyboard only.

If you lock your IPad and press the lock button again to unlock, the braille 
display should work without having to pair it again.

Best regards Annie.

 Hello all, got an iPad mini with a braille display and a bluetooth keyboard

 1.  When I'm viewing my mails in the mail app, I don't find the compose 
 button anywhere.   In the iPhone,  it is in the bottom corner, but in the 
 iPad, I have to open a message and then, I see the compose button there.  
 What is the easiest way to find it?

 off when I don't need it, and activate it again, it doesn't recognize itself

 That's it for now.  Will ask more later.  Thank you for your assistance.

Re: iPad mini questions with Focus 40 Blue Braille Display!

2013-07-25 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi there, i have this setup and have some answers for you which I'm 
hoping will help.


1. The compose button is toward the top of the screen. In fact, many of 
the buttons that you are used to on the iPhone at the bottom are on the 
top with the iPad. So, look for it around the top right to the top center.


2. This is typical because when the display is connected, the 
iPad/iPhone knows there is a keyboard and so the onscreen keyboard is 
hidden. The idea is that if you already have an external keyboard, most 
people won't want the onscreen keyboard. That being said, you can use 
the eject function to display the onscreen keyboard. I'm just guessing 
here, but I think the command is Space with E. However I have a feeling 
I'm wrong. The best way to experiment is to do a Space with K for 
knowledge, then this turns on the help practice mode. Now, press various 
Space and letter or symbol keys on the display and see what they all do. 
Take care because Space with B is the Back up, or Escape function and 
that will turn off the practice mode. While in this mode you can also 
perform finger gestures on your iThingy screen and Voice Over will tell 
you what they are.


3. This is most likely because you are not doing things in the proper 
sequence. Here's how it should go after you have paired the two devices. 
First make sure the iPad is locked. Now turn on the display. Now press 
the Home button to open the lock screen. The display should connect. Now 
unlock the iPad. The display will work with it. Once you are done and 
you want to finish using the display, lock the iPad. Then power off the 
display. Now, if you want to continue to use the iPad without the 
display,  just unlock it and go on about your business. However if you 
are using it and you want to start using the display, you have to lock 
the iPad, power on the display, and then unlock the iPad. In other 
words, the iPad must be locked when the display is either powered on or 
off. According to Freedom Scientific Focus Blue manual, doing things in 
a different order, or turning off the display while the iPad/iPhone is 
not locked could result in the loss of the pairing information. I've 
seen similar happen with the Braille Sense notetakers and the iPhone as 
well as the Alva TC640 displays, so I suspect it might be an iThingy thingy.


Good luck.

Hello Annie. Thanks for clarifying the Space with Dots 1-4-6 to toggle 
the onscreen keyboard. I had a feeling that Space with E just wasn't 
right. So far I'm liking the Focus 40 Blue and the iPhone or iPad. They 
work great together.

If the developers use a UIImagePickerController with its source set to camera,

Hi Dan and Penny,
 
Unfortunately, using the volume up button to take a picture which works just 
fine in the stock camera app does not work either in Tap Tap See or Talking 
Goggles, at least not on my 4S running iOS 6.1.3.
In Talking Goggles I switched to video mode and tried the Play/Answer button on 
the headset which starts video recording in the stock camera app and it also 
does not do anything.
 
Prizmo used to have a verbal activation option, you would just say “Take 
Picture” and it worked well. I assume since it worked in Prizmo it is possible 
unless Apple has changed something in iOS 6 which prevents developers from 
implementing such a verbal command. I can’t remember when Prizmo got rid of it 
and why they did so.
 
I think if you start a dialogue with the developers of Tap Tap See and/or 
Talking Goggles you should definitely mention that it would be good if this 
default behavior which is present in the Camera app could be implemented in 
their apps. I think your problem would largely be solved if you could use the 
volume up or Play/Answer button on the headset to take the picture or start 
video recording although for using Talking Goggles in video mode it doesn’t 
really matter. First of all, you can start video and then use both hands to 
hold your phone whichever way you like including putting it on the table to 
steady it. Video mode in Talking Goggles looks all the time and it will just 
start recognizing text whenever it sees any. Also, if you don’t stop video but 
just exit the app, the next time you open the app it will already be recording 
already. But being able to use the volume up button on the phone or on the 
headset to take a picture in Tap Tap See and Goggles would definitely be a good 
idea.

There is another way to do it;  you could press your button, but know that it 
would not activate for 3 seconds or something, just time enough for you to get 
quiet or not move, or whatever.
Just my two cents, and probably not worth that much.
If you're using the phone at home, you could figure out a steady way to use it 
and not purchase a tripod or some other kind of holding device.

I figure that if you folks feel this would be helpful enough I'd start the

So, what do you all think?

changing between walking and driving mode in the garmin app

2013-07-25 Thread Mike Arrigo
Hey everyone, for those who have the garmin app, how do you change the type of 
root? I have looked all over and cannot find it, you can choose settings for 
vehicle roots and walking roots, but when choosing a destination, their seems 
to be no way to choose the type of root the app creates.

Subject: pod cast comparing main stream IOS GPS apps

Hey everyone, some of you may remember a couple years ago that I did a
comparison of the main stream gps apps on the iphone, apps such as motion x
GPS, navigon, etc. I've thought about doing an updated one, especially since
blind cool tech no longer exists, it would be on the blind geek zone web
site. Of course, with the sendero gps app, it may be that blind users do not
use these apps as much. I'm more than willing to do an updated comparison,
it would be kind of fun, but was wondering how much interest people would
have in this. Obviously there's no point in doing it if there is not a lot
of interest, so thought I would ask first.
