Hi list: Want to make sure I understand something here. I selected a book for download however, didn't see any download button. So chose to put it on the wish list. So am I to assume that as soon as it is ready for download in the bard format I can do just that? Thanks in advance. DJ

Well, hopefully you don't use JAWS. I think that the best version of JAWS was 3.7u, and it went downhill after that. Can't say much better for Window Eyes. Quite often, added features are a higher priority than stability. That's sad, but true. Andy -Original Message- From: Aman

Siri and sending texts to multiple contacts

2013-09-28 Thread Chris H
Good evening all. With siri, can I ask him/her to send texts to multiple contacts? If so how many can I send and what do I say? Currently I do it the manual way but hopefully not for much longer as I approach eligibility for upgrade day. Any responses greatly appreciated. Thanks! --

Yup, if you get an iOS device that hasn't been set up in any way, triple click home from the set-up screen launches VoiceOver so you can complete the set-up independently. Triple-click home is then set to launch VoiceOver and switch it off. Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology

I think that the Apple servers are in overload mode. I have times when Siri is slow to work, or it will say that it can't take my request and to try again later. Then I have had times when it is quite quick to respond. My guess is once things calm down we will have better results from Siri.
