iOS betas
I don't think this violates the NDA, but if it does, someone please inform me. Is there a special technique for installing an iOS beta onto a device on the Mac? I have the IPSW file, but can't seem to hold down option while clicking check for updates, as that interferes with Voice Over. Thanks in advance.

putting my music from ITunes on an external drive
The laptop where I back up all ITunes stuff and synchronize my IPod Touch 5 gen. is dying, the main drive needs reformatting, how do I back up my music to an external drive? I know the apps are backed up in ICloud but haven't bought Match. I know that copying my library won't do because it doesn't back up the files, only points to where they reside.

RE: iOS betas
Can't you just do Option+Enter? The instructions to update/restore from an IPSW file are to hold shift and then click Check for Updates, but Shift+Enter does the job just the same so maybe Option+Enter will work on a Mac. Keep in mind that the current Beta release of iOS 8 is Beta 2 and if you really have to rely on your device and want to be sure all apps work then running such an early Beta might not be ideal. You are likely to experience apps which won't work, situations where normal behavior is not working and a few crashes here and there. Early Betas often also don't have the full feature set.

Re: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?
The mail app that comes with the i-devices can be a pain if you get a lot a lot of email, but it is possible. The only problem I see is that you don't have any additional memory issues with an i-device as you do a computer. I seriously doubt that the mail app will ever be a productive and reliable full proof app especially if you use most of your i-device's memory. I have to leave 2-3 gig of memory on my iphone in order for mail to cooperate and be a normal productive app. On Jun 18, 2014, at 9:51 PM, Joseph FreeTech joseph.freet...@gmail.com wrote: Writing is going to be a bit of a headache since you will have to turn on the edit mode on the iPad whenever you need to type text. Someone typed up an article regarding best apps for text entry, and I ran a quick search for you and did not find it, but the article is definitely on the AppleVis website. Since the experience on the iPad will for the most part be the same as your iPod, try quickly launching a text editing word processor type of app and quickly taking down a Note, and you will find it is more trouble than one would want to go through when taking down a quick Note or writing lengthy documents.

Re: Mac and pc
I have not yet published in a peer reviewed journal. My research is not yet developed to that point. Typically, I outline using pages on my iPhone. I research using Safari on either my iPhone or a friend's iPad (until I acquire my own when the iPad with fingerprint sensor is released). I find the iPad to be the quickest option for scanning through library article databases. Note: this is only the case when I am working with the touchscreen. I then edit, format, and finalise my papers using Pages on my Mac. I worked with a Mac expert to figure out ways around several things that confused me, and regularly go back to this person for refreshers. I have not yet started working with statistical analyses, and am hoping the recommended analysis package for my style of research will become available on the Mac by the time I require it. The company tells my university's help desk that it should be out next year. If not, I will need to use Windows for the number crunching. I use keynote for developing my presentation slides. Using a friend's iPad with a conference projector, I presented last month without the need of a computer. It worked quite well.

Reaching ooTunes's Developer
Hello, everyone. I have often heard that Steve, ooTunes's developer, answers email very quickly. However, I have emailed him with two questions, once six days ago and once two days ago, and have received no response. Normally, I would wait much longer before asking about response time, but because Steve's track record appears to be so stellar, I thought I would ask if anyone had heard from him lately.

questions about the Kruptos app used to be idisk pluss.
HI. there appear to be some new buttons and things in the app that is now Kruptos and was idisk plus firstly, the app used to default to safe mode when scanning for disk space, now it defaults to fast mode. Can someone explain the difference, and is the fast mode safe? 2. Can someone explain what the incript button does? 3. there is an unlabelled button called star off can someone explain this one? If no one knows is there a place to get full instructions or a user guide? Have been to the developers website and unless it's changed drastically recently, there was hardly any information there. 4. what do the on off buttons do? thanks lots.

Re: Applications to help with diabetes control
Hi, Thanks for this, that helps a lot. :) I've been diabetic for a really long time so all of this is not that strange to me. It's really nice that that is usable. :) I've never looked at any of the newer OneTouch stuff in a while. As a coincidence, my first glucometer that was talking was a OneTouch meter with what they called a Voice Synthesizer adapter kit attached to it to read out the readings. That thing was big and took a big sample and was big and bulky. I've used a lot of meters since then though. It's nice that technology is making more of this usable. Do you know of any of these logbook type apps that are accessible? I have no problem putting the info in my phone manually if needed. Thanks, Jeffrey On Jun 19, 2014, at 8:13 AM, Donna merma...@bellsouth.net wrote: Hi I too, am a pre-diabetic. From my search through the app store, most diabetic apps are logbooks which require the app user to enter their blood glucose numbers manually into the app. The OneTouch Reveal connects wirelessly to your meter and uploads your blood glucose levels into the app for you. The app is mostly accessible with voiceover. There are buttons that aren't labeled, but playing with the app, the unlabeled buttons are easy to figure out.

Fw: [New post] T-Mobile US will give anyone a free Apple iPhone 5s with unlimited data to test for a week

With T-Mobile Test Drive, people can receive an iPhone 5s and unlimited nationwide service to take T-Mobile’s network for a data-intensive, seven-day spin at no cost whatsoever. The new initiative puts T-Mobile’s data-strong network in the spotlight, as the Un-carrier rolls out yet another major network expansion ahead of the competition. No More “Buying Blind” The Un-carrier’s latest initiative takes aim at the painful process of buying wireless in America today. People must decide on a wireless provider without knowing how the network will really work for them – where they live, go to school, work, and play. As a result, the U.S. wireless industry has one of the highest “remorse rates” of any out there. Nearly half (46%) of wireless customers say they’ve signed up with a carrier and then wanted to leave, and one in 10 have actually left within the first 30 days of making a switch. It’s a pain point ripe for an Un-carrier solution. “The way this industry forces Americans to buy wireless is completely, utterly broken. I’m here to tell you there’s a better way,” declared John Legere, T-Mobile CEO and President, in a statement. “While the carriers ask you to buy blind, the Un-carrier gives you transparency. Our network kicks ass, and now people can experience for themselves what a data-strong network can do with T-Mobile Test Drive.” Starting this Monday, June 23, people can sign up for T-Mobile Test Drive at www.t-mobile.com/testdrive. A few days later, they’ll receive an iPhone 5s fully loaded and ready to go, and they can put T-Mobile’s data-strong network to the test for seven full days on the world's best smartphone. After the test drive, just drop it off at any T-Mobile store. That’s it. Absolutely no money down. No obligation. No strings attached. T-Mobile Test Drive is a first-of-its-kind nationwide initiative from a major carrier that the Un-carrier is rolling out at scale. During the first year of the program alone, T-Mobile expects at least one million people to take a test drive. More info: www.t-mobile.com/testdrive. MacDailyNews Take: Nice to see T-Mobile using the world's best smartphone for this program instead of a chintzy knockoff. Of course, they want the customer's testing experience to be the best it possibly can be. Also, with iPhone 5s vastly leading in resale value, it makes sense for T-Mobile to use iPhones, which retain their value far better than iPhone wannabes, so T-Mobile can recoup a significant portion of their program's device costs.

Re: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?
Actually, the only thing that really holds me back from going completely to iOS, other than the fact that I do enjoy playing with my technology, is that I don't yet have a way to use the braille embosser and do braille translation without my Mac and/or linux; actually even with linux I can't at this point emboss. But for about a year now I've been thinking eventually this might happen and so I am deliberately doing more and more tasks on my i-devices. If you don't have a reason to have to specifically use MS Word, I think it might be doable. I have a sighted friend who is doing more and more with his iPad and mainly uses Windows now only for some online courses he is taking that require very strict MS WORD formatting; I don't remember if he is also using the MICROSOFT apps on the iPad; I think perhaps he is. But I think the day will come when using i-devices only is a viable option even in this area and for blind as well as sighted users. While I have to read some Word files I don't need to write in it so this isn't an issue for me. So I'm using my iPad especially, but also my iPhones, more and more and eventually hope to do what you are thinking of doing. I think the only way to know for sure would be to get an iPad or borrow one and use it for a few weeks exclusively to see if there are unworkable situations that come up. I also think that as the Mac and i-devices become more popular MS Word may someday not be demanded in some places as emphatically as now, but only time will tell about this. You know, there was a time, in my lifetime, when MS Word didn't exist and nothing lasts forever, not MS Word, not any OS or iOS or android or whatever. So who knows what may devellop just around the corner! -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!

RE: IPhone 5s And Speakers
Hi Steven, I would like to offer a slightly different description as Isaac since I don't agree with his statement that the headphone jack on the 5S is on the back. To me the back of the phone is opposite of the touch screen and thatis not where the headphone jack is. It is located on the bottom of the phone in the bottom left corner if you are facing the touch screen. To make it even clearer this is to the left of where you plug in your Lightning cable to charge your phone once again it is to the left if you are facing the touch screen or if you tilt the phone so you are looking at the bottom. Your Lightning connector is in the middle, to the right is your speaker opening, to the left is first your microphone opening (both are not holes, but sort of perforated grills) and on the very left bottom edge is the round hole for the headphones, it's quite easy to feel it right next to the rounded corner.

Using Voice dictation
Hi. I recently found out that you can specify certain punctuation symbols while using voice dictation. I also read and was able to confirm that you can use the word cap to indicate that the word you're about to speak should be capitalized. Bearing this in mind, I have a few questions. What if you dictate the sentence put your thinking cap on. Is Siri smart enough to know that you mean the word cap and not the word On with a capital O? For that matter, if I use the phrase short period of time is Siri smart enough to know that I mean the word period and not the punctuation mark? When you're dictating a question, do you say question or question mark. I'd like it if someone could post a set of rules, as well as tricks, dos and don'ts to voice dictation to make the text look presentable. I realize that I'm typically using voice dictation to compose quick text messages as opposed to a final draft of a novel but I really like my writing to look somewhat organized and not just a jumbled mess to sighted readers.

RE: Using Voice dictation
David, You use Questionmark and not Question. I typically find SIRI has no problems with words like period in a sentence and in fact have had little success with commands like Cap or All Caps on and All Caps Off etc. If you Google SIRI dictation, What can I say to SIRI or similar phrases you will find lots of information including comprehensive lists of commands. Otherwise I suggest you just open the Notes app and dictate some of the sentence you mentioned to see how SIRI behaves since it will depend a lot on how clearly you speak and other aspects.

I recently found out that you can specify certain punctuation symbols while using voice dictation. I also read and was able to confirm that you can use the word cap to indicate that the word you're about to speak should be capitalized. Bearing this in mind, I have a few questions. What if you dictate the sentence put your thinking cap on. Is Siri smart enough to know that you mean the word cap and not the word On with a capital O? For that matter, if I use the phrase short period of time is Siri smart enough to know that I mean the word period and not the punctuation mark? When you're dictating a question, do you say question or question mark. I'd like it if someone could post a set of rules, as well as tricks, dos and don'ts to voice dictation to make the text look presentable.

Re: Using Voice dictation
Sieghard, First, thanks for reminding me about using the Notes app to test the dictation. Secondly you're absolutely correct. Siri is remarkably good at understanding the correct context of sentences as to when to translate your speech as a word as opposed to a punctuation symbol. I'm really quite impressed. David Goldfield, Founder and Peer Coordinator, Philadelphia Computer Users' Group for the Blind and Visually Impaired Feel free to visit my new Web site http://www.davidgoldfield.info/ Sieghard Weitzel wrote: David, You use Questionmark and not Question. I typically find SIRI has no problems with words like period in a sentence and in fact have had little success with commands like Cap or All Caps on and All Caps Off etc. If you Google SIRI dictation, What can I say to SIRI or similar phrases you will find lots of information including comprehensive lists of commands. Otherwise I suggest you just open the Notes app and dictate some of the sentence you mentioned to see how SIRI behaves since it will depend a lot on how clearly you speak and other aspects. Getting proficient with dictation is like most other things a matter of practice.

I recently found out that you can specify certain punctuation symbols while using voice dictation. I also read and was able to confirm that you can use the word cap to indicate that the word you're about to speak should be capitalized. Bearing this in mind, I have a few questions. What if you dictate the sentence put your thinking cap on. Is Siri smart enough to know that you mean the word cap and not the word On with a capital O? For that matter, if I use the phrase short period of time is Siri smart enough to know that I mean the word period and not the punctuation mark? When you're dictating a question, do you say question or question mark. I'd like it if someone could post a set of rules, as well as tricks, dos and don'ts to voice dictation to make the text look presentable. I realize that I'm typically using voice dictation to compose quick text messages as opposed to a final draft of a novel but I really like my writing to look somewhat organized and not just a jumbled mess to sighted readers.

Re: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?
For me, the real issue with using an iOS device as my only computer would be how data can and can't be backed up. I know there are online backup services but I'd like to be able to back up data onto thumb drives. Also, while my iPhone is now my primary book player, I'd still like the option of plugging in my thumb drive to my NLS player and there seems to be no easy way to transfer iPhone content to a thumb drive. I know, my mindset is so 2010 but I like being able to easily make offline, local backups.

New Skype update 5.1 - deleting chats is back
Hello, I know I am risking starting another hot discussion that people don't have a Skype update yet, but if you don't then just give it a day or two, I am sure it will be in all app stores very shortly. So, having said this, I just had Skype 5.1 show up in the Canadian app store and here is what they say is new: . Remove conversations from Recent - press and hold on the conversation to remove the conversation from Recent . Edit a message - press and hold on the message in the chat to edit . Add Favorites directly on the Favorites hub screen . Voiceover improvements . General improvements Deleting a conversation works well, just double tap and hold on the conversation or Recent item and a small menu with Delete and Cancel will pop up. Haven't quite figured out how to edit a message in a chat, but if you double tap and hold on a hat message it shows as selected and there is a copy button at the very bottom right of the screen (4-finger tap will take you there) and this will copy the message to the clipboard. One of the Voiceover improvements I noticed is that the tab you have selected now says Selected, e.g. it would say :Selected, it, People or Selected, Recent and these 3 items Recent, Favorites and People now seem to stay in the same place and in that order from left to right whereas before whichever tab you selected would move to the very left. The All button now is announced more descriptively as People List Filter and in addition to All and Online they added Skype again which will show all Skype contacts without saved phone numbers. Voiceover will also announce which filter you selected, e.g. it will say People List Filter, Online or People List Filter, All. That's it for now and it does appear that Skype is definitely listening to the feedback they receive and are acting quickly on it.

Skype was updated for me this morning. First of all, Voiceover accessibility is, as far as I can tell, fully there. However, the interface is completely different and will need a bit of getting used to. Having said this, I really like what I have seen so far. For one thing, the app loads super fast and this is something that is mentioned in the What's new. The first time I opened it after the update a video started playing. I let it play and after maybe 15 or 20 seconds it stopped and I had a Skip Video button. Once I was in the app I noticed that now there are 2 buttons, one on the top left called the Skype Home button and another at the top right called My Info, Online button. If I double tap this I have a Back button at the top left and then a nice summary of everything related to my status and account: First my name Then a Change Profile Picture button Next a place where I can enter a mood message. Then the status button where I can change it from Online to Away, Offline and so on. Next is my Skype credit and if I double tap it I can quickly add $4.99 via an in-app purchase. Lastly is a My Account button, a Settings button and a More button. In Settings I can turn on or off push notifications, in-app notifications and in-app sounds. Under More I have buttons for Help, About, Send Feedback and Sign Out. Underneath the top where I find these 2 buttons I have now 3 items in one row: Recents, Favorites and People The order of these 3 items changes, Voiceover doesn't say they are buttons or links, but you can double tap on them and whichever one you double tap on moves to the very left. Favorites is new and for me it's empty since I haven't added any Favorites yet. People gives me all my contacts. If you double tap it you have a search field to look for somebody and there is also a table index on the right. Between the search field and the top of your list starting with A is a button which Voiceover announces as All. This means all your contacts are displayed and if you double tap on this button you can choose between All and Online. Here I have to do some more exploring because in the old Skype you could tap on lists and select from All contacts, Skype Contacts, Online Contacts, Saved Phone Numbers and also bring up your iPhone Contacts. I currently don't see this any more and while All contains all you have in Skype including regular Skype contacts whether they are online or offline as well as saved phone

iphone game: blindfold racer
Hi folks, Just in case you did not yet come across it: blindfold racer is a very nice audio game. It's free. Take a look in the IOS app store if you're curious. I discovered it this weekend. Applevis did a podcast on it, and interviewed its developer. Applevis podcast extra, number 21. But download and play the game first. That will make the podcast even more interesting. Just wanted to share it. Best, Paul. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

Perhaps the third party keyboard support and whatever this Braille input is will make typing much more productive in iOS8. Just to throw in a comment regarding typing as of now.

Someone typed up an article regarding best apps for text entry, and I ran a quick search for you and did not find it, but the article is definitely on the AppleVis website. Since the experience on the iPad will for the most part be the same as your iPod, try quickly launching a text editing word processor type of app and quickly taking down a Note, and you will find it is more trouble than one would want to go through when taking down a quick Note or writing lengthy documents.

Hi, all, I have a computer that needs a hard-drive replacement, at the very least, and possibly has a failed logic board. I'm seriously considering replacing it with an iPad. Price is only somewhat an issue, since there seems to be only about $100 US difference between a new model I would want and the iPad. Mainly, I don't want the hassle of replacing moving parts and getting dust and cat-hair and such snarled up in it. I'm also extremely comfortable with iOS and use my iPod 5th gen constantly. I intend to use the iPad with a keyboard. So has anyone else taken this sort of step? Am I out of my mind, or do you think this is doable? I am a casual user.

Re: ColorSay – Hear the world in color!
I wound up with the same thing, even when I turned the light on.

Small speaker recommendations for GPS navigation
Hi all, One thing I find very appealing about products like the Trekker Breeze, is the small loudspeaker that can be clipped to a shirt collar or shoulder strap to make the audible directions easier to hear. With apps like Seeing Eye GPS or the excellent BlindSquare, I find the GPS experience pretty good on my iPhone except for the fact that I don't have a perfect setup for hearing the directions. I currently walk with one ear bud in my ear, but obviously this isn't ideal. To be honest, I've tried bone conduction headphones and while I'm sure they work great for some, they just aren't my cup of tea. Are there any ultra-portable speakers that people have found effective for this situation? Thanks, Grant -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: Confusion over syncing outlook contacts
iCloud backups will not be made over the cellular data network, but I'm not aware of any limitation affecting the synchronization of iCloud mail, contacts, calendars, or reminders over the cellular data network.

Re: Amazon Music
Hey John, Not to worry as I went through the same thing over the weekend as I have been a prime member but never used the music part. To get amazon prime music working on your iPhone you have to go to the amazon prime music on the web first. You have to add a song on the website to either play or to a playlist. By doing this it launches a pop up where you accept Amazon's user agreement once you do this go back to the app on the iPhone and click refresh and the app will start working. Yeah, it would be nice of amazon to have posted this somewhere as I spent over an hour over the weekend googling why I couldn't get the app to work.

RE: Reaching ooTunes's Developer
It does not seem that Ootunes is being maintained anymore, at least for now. There is a problem that has been around since iOS 7 where temporary recordings cannot be saved as permanent unless you add a marker while the recording is being made. Also, the app hasn't been updated since 2011, so is still not optimized for the iPhone 5 and newer.

Re: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?
There are cases out there which let you put an iPad in a holder on the top. It then looks like a laptop with the iPad laying sideways. Mine has the home button to the right. Then there is a QWERTY style keyboard on the lower half and the two halves close like a laptop. The connection of the keyboard to the iPad is made through Bluetooth paring. Mine connects and disconnects so that the rechargeable keyboard lasts about 2 weeks worth of typing but I get a lot of email. It only takes 3 hours to recharge from a totally dead battery to a fully charged one. The charging cable comes with the keyboard case. There are cases for all iPads being sold today. I like the iPad Air with WI-FI and cellular and my Air has 128 GGB of storage. If you rarely travel then you can just get the WI-FI only model assuming of course you own a wireless router at home.

Re: If Anyone Is Using Only iDevices and No Computer, How Are You Faring?
I would say that if you only did email and web browsing with a document here or there, you could easily make the change. I know for traveling the iPad Air with both WI-FI and Cellular lets you access the web and email in more places then just WI-FI alone. If you insist on your music collection, then you may decide to limit it to 40 or 50 GB of your favorite tunes and on an 128 GB iPad Air you should have plenty of room left for documents and maybe even a picture or two.

Revisiting cleaning apps for IOS

Re: Reaching ooTunes's Developer
Even though it hasn't been updated or maintained in a few years. it is my go-to app for listening to Internet or regular radio. I used to use TuneIn but that one is no longer accessible to any degree anymore, or at least I couldn't get the hang of the new profile area or get any of my favorites to appear. So I use ooTunes now, and until I find something better. It would be awesome to have a full screen radio app, but oh well. At least I can still hear my favorite stations. Wayne On 6/19/14, Grant Hardy grantha...@outlook.com wrote: It does not seem that Ootunes is being maintained anymore, at least for now. There is a problem that has been around since iOS 7 where temporary recordings cannot be saved as permanent unless you add a marker while the recording is being made. Also, the app hasn't been updated since 2011, so is still not optimized for the iPhone 5 and newer. It's a shame because I truly have not found any other radio app that I like and that has as comprehensive a feature set and directory as Ootunes. Let's hope updates are forthcoming!

Re: Reaching ooTunes's Developer
Hi Wayne; I have Alwayse used oOTunes. I have Alwayse it since 09. Sent from my iPhone 5s!

I used to use TuneIn but that one is no longer accessible to any degree anymore, or at least I couldn't get the hang of the new profile area or get any of my favorites to appear. So I use ooTunes now, and until I find something better. It would be awesome to have a full screen radio app, but oh well. At least I can still hear my favorite stations.

There is a problem that has been around since iOS 7 where temporary recordings cannot be saved as permanent unless you add a marker while the recording is being made. Also, the app hasn't been updated since 2011, so is still not optimized for the iPhone 5 and newer. It's a shame because I truly have not found any other radio app that I like and that has as comprehensive a feature set and directory as Ootunes. Let's hope updates are forthcoming!

Press CTRL+Y to bring up the folder list, and make sure they are stored under the iCloud section. Also check under the Add-ins section in the options dialog to make sure the iCloud add-in hasn't been disabled.

RE: Small speaker recommendations for GPS navigation
Hi Grant and others, I am using the Outdoor Technology “Buckshot” speaker. It is still Bluetooth 2.1, but it has very good battery life and it has volume controls and you can Play/Pause and Answer/Hangup a call as it also has a microphone. Just like its big brother the Turtleshell, the Buckshot is ruggedized, it has a rubber cover and is IPX7 water resistant which means it can rain on it all day without a problem. As for the form factor, it is indeed shaped like a large shotgun shell, 3.5 inches long and 1.5 inches thick. It is round as in a cylinder shapeOne end has the speaker and the other end has the controls and the cover which closes off the charging port. Suggested retail is $50 US and I sell these at my store although I am currently out of stock. Maybe David from New Zealand will chime in and give his review since I recently sent him a Turtleshell 2 and a Buckshot. I had a sewing shop make up a little holster for me which is a wide piece of Velcro which wraps around the shoulder strap of my backpack. To this they sewed a loop of approx. 1.5 or 2 inch wide elastic material and I can slip the Buckshot into this loop so that it sits vertically against the strap of my backpack at about the hight of my chest. I can move it up or down a bit, but I attach it with the speaker pointing up so that it is almost as high as my shoulder and it is plenty loud. The speaker weighs just over 5 ounces and it’s the most compact model I could find and of course being made for true outdoor use doesn’t hurt. Only disadvantage is that you can’t activate SIRI with it although I could swear that when I first got it I thought I did this and it worked, but I must have been mistaken because I can’t get it to work any more. Anyhow, not that big a deal to reach into one’s pocket and press the home key and then speak through the speaker’s microphone. I find that if I am somewhere without too many people and I don’t mind having a call on speaker it is OK for a shorter call and the quality is not bad. But of course you can always answer a call on your phone and since the call is routed to the device where you answered it there is no harm in having the speaker on.

As a coincidence, my first glucometer that was talking was a OneTouch meter with what they called a Voice Synthesizer adapter kit attached to it to read out the readings. That thing was big and took a big sample and was big and bulky. I've used a lot of meters since then though. It's nice that technology is making more of this usable.

From my search through the app store, most diabetic apps are logbooks which require the app user to enter their blood glucose numbers manually into the app. The OneTouch Reveal connects wirelessly to your meter and uploads your blood glucose levels into the app for you. The app is mostly accessible with voiceover. There are buttons that aren't labeled, but playing with the app, the unlabeled buttons are easy to figure out.

Hi Sieghard. Thanks for that. I am intrigued by one thing, however. How do you and others carry your phone when you are using GPS? I thought of this because you said your phone was in your pocket.
