Re: Alex, where are you?
I'm curious how he compares on the Mac and on the iThings. Have you heard him on the Mac? Is he different on a mobile device than on the Mac?

Neither the 5 nor even the 5C has a 64 bit processor. For the iPad family last year’s iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina 2 are the only devices which support Alex and no current iPod Touch supports him. Of course the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus do also have a 64 bit processor, the A8, one generation ahead from the A7 which is in the 5S, ipad Air and iPad Mini Retina. If you have one of these devices, you will find the option to download Alex in Settings, General, Accessibility, Voiceover, Speech. Double tap on Default Dialect and here you will find Alex or, if you want the default voice to be the current high quality female voice, just add a language, select English US and then download Alex by double tapping on the More button to the right of the US English voice. This will allow you to turn the rotor to languages and flick back and forth between the current high quality voice and Alex. I recommend this because while opinions vary hugely when it comes to TTS voices, I don’t think very much of Alex on the iPhone, I find the voice sounds muffled and a lot less clear than the old high quality female voice especially at slightly higher speech rates. If you end up liking Alex better but still want access to the female HQ voice, just select Alex in the default dialect and select the female HQ voice for the US English option. Also note that once you downloaded Alex you either have to turn Voiceover off and back on for him to work or just reboot your phone.

Hi Davy, Are you sure the music you try to delete using the flick down is actually on your device? I assume it might be music in your iCloud account which is music you purchased but which is not downloaded to your device. I suggest you try and go to Settings, iTunes and App Store and hide music and videos which are in the cloud, this way you only see what is actually downloaded to you rdevice and you should be able to delete that without problems.

Sieghard The weired thing with my iPhone 5s is that for most music on it, the rotor action delete doesn’st even work at all. And for some other music it works fine like you explain it here. Regards Davy From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2014 9:40 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: question how to remove albums from the music app on my eye phone 4s in order to make space to update the phone? Hi Mich, In iOS 7 you dcan only delete single songs by swiping down on the song and then double tapping when you hear “Delete”. This is the action rotor in action so to speak, it works just like deleting emails. Unfortunately you can’t do this for entire albums or artists. It’s possible again to do this in iOS 8, but in iOS 7 you have to do this song by song. Once you delete all songs from an album it will go away. How did you get this music onto your phone in the first place? Did you buy and download all these songs from iTunes and directly to you rphone or did you sync this music to your phone using iTunes? If you used iTunes then it’;s much easier to remove it the same way, just uncheck the music you want to remove and sync. I assume you have read lots about iOS 8 and the issues people are having. There are also several Podcasts on Applevis and Jonathan did an interview/demonstration on the accessible world tech talk last night. If I were you I’d think twice about upgrading on a 4s right now, you might be better off waiting for iOS 8.0.1 which is probably only a couple of weeks away to see if some of the more nasty Voiceover bugs will be fixed.

Re: Hand Writing
Yes, you can set the rotor to handwriting and then write the first few letters of an app name and it'll display it. This is done from the home screen, so that's why it might be crashing there instead of someplace else. I've also used it to enter my passcode, though I'm not so great with handwriting. I ended up taking it out of my rotor, since I just don't click with it, but it seems like quite a useful utility for lots of folks.

Neither the 5 nor even the 5C has a 64 bit processor. For the iPad family last year's iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina 2 are the only devices which support Alex and no current iPod Touch supports him. Of course the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus do also have a 64 bit processor, the A8, one generation ahead from the A7 which is in the 5S, ipad Air and iPad Mini Retina. If you have one of these devices, you will find the option to download Alex in Settings, General, Accessibility, Voiceover, Speech. Double tap on Default Dialect and here you will find Alex or, if you want the default voice to be the current high quality female voice, just add a language, select English US and then download Alex by double tapping on the More button to the right of the US English voice. This will allow you to turn the rotor to languages and flick back and forth between the current high quality voice and Alex. I recommend this because while opinions vary hugely when it comes to TTS voices, I don't think very much of Alex on the iPhone, I find the voice sounds muffled and a lot less clear than the old high quality female voice especially at slightly higher speech rates. If you end up liking Alex better but still want access to the female HQ voice, just select Alex in the default dialect and select the female HQ voice for the US English option. Also note that once you downloaded Alex you either have to turn Voiceover off and back on for him to work or just reboot your phone.

Re: It is still possible to downgrade to iOS 7.1.2 as of today (Sunday, September 21)
I attempted to do this on a iphone4s. Didn't know what to do after I got the result after typing in the whole serial number. I activated the link but didn't find a IPSW download. Help? theblindman...@gmail.com Regards, Feliciano Like my Facebook page: https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=690649294341327 Follow me on Twitter: Www.twitter.com/theblindman12v Sent from the Super-iPhone On Sep 21, 2014, at 1:50 PM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hello Listers, Since a few people asked about downgrading, I thought I test it out since I already had the iOS 7.1.2 file downloaded from when I was Beta testing iOS 8. I wanted to be prepared to downgrade in case it was necessary. Since I was also contemplating doing a new install of iOS 8 (mine has been just updated repeatedly all the way back from Beta 1 in June) I thought why not see if downgrading to iOS 7.1.2 still works before I upgrade to iOS 8. So, I connected my phone, did a sync and an encrypted backup and then went to the Restore button in the device section and pressed Shift+Enter (I am using a Windows 7 laptop). I browsed to where I saved the IPSW file (Apple Software Update File) and selected it. I was told my phone would be restored to version 7.1.2, it then went through the steps and 10 minutes later I was done and iOS 7.1.2 was back on my device. I turned Voiceover with a triple click of the home button, went through the initial setup screens and I am now sitting here with a factory restored iOS 7.1.2 installation on my phone. I thought I mention this for anybody who might be just too unhappy with the bugs in iOS 8 and prefers the familiar. It is now Sunday, September 21 at 1:30 PM Pacific time so about 4 days after the public release of iOS 8 (100 hours to be exact) and it appears that Apple is still allowing downgrading. I can’t say if this will still work tomorrow and, if it does, whether it will still work on Tuessday and so on. I am now going to upgrade back to iOS 8 since while I don’t like some of the bugs I do at the same time like some of the new features and the latter outweighs the prior. I will not try to downgrade again in a few days just to see if it works, it’s up to everybody to decide and do what they feel they must. If you do want to go back to iOS 7.1.2, you can download the software from www.IPSWDownloader.com. There are 3 combo boxes where you select your device, your device model and the firmware. Make sure you know exactly which model of iPhone or iPad or whatever you have since you will need to know. I have a GSM iPhone 5S which is version A1533, but if you are on Sprint or Verizon it might be a different model, I am not exactly sure which carrier uses which model in the States as I am in Canada. I am pretty sure that an ATT iPhone 5S is also model A1533. You can find out either by getting somebody to look at the baclk of yourt device, the model number is engraved there. If you want to find out by yourself go to Settings, General and About. Note down the last 3 or 4 digits/characters of your phone’s serial number. Now go to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup and type the last 3 characters of the serial number in the edit field, then find the results and the model number will be listed there. If it doesn’t work with 3 characters try it with 4. The model numbers all start with a letter followed by 4 numbers, e.g. A1533. Once you have located the correct IPSW file to download, save it do your Downloads folder or wherever you can find it again. When the download is done (iOS 7.1.2 is almost 1.5 Gb) you have to extract it by right clicking on it and select “Extract All”. In the folder which will show up you will find the actual IPSW file which is called as follows: iPhone6,1_7.1.2_11D257_Restore.IPSW You won’t of course see the extension since most likely you will have “Hide extensions for known file types” set to On. Anyhow, now connect your phone to iTunes, go to Restore and press Shift+Enter on it. In the open dialogue, browse to the IPSW file and open it, from there everything will proceed as normal. If you have done a backup under iOS 8 I can’t guaranty that it will restore perfectly, I would probably recommend to set up as a new phone and start from scratch,.

cleaning house
I'd like to get rid of unnecessary folders and files on both my PC and iPhone by deleting previous libraries and updates. I'm thinking of syncing, backing up once, and deleting everything previously done. Using iTunes, what is the safest way to do this without losing necessary and wanted stuff on both computer and iPhone 5, iOS8, iTunes 11.4, using JAWS 15 on a Windows XP Pro computer? Specific steps, in sequence, are what I'm looking for, either on or off list. Thanks in advance. --- Be positive!

Re: bluetooth braille display input on iOS 8
Hi RIchard. No but I have seen a lot of strange behaviour with my u2. It is often typing double letters, sometimes more than double, can anyone confirm that. It is on my 5s. I love the IOS 8, but braille is in some cases rather buggy, but apple has made really good changes, but they do not got it finished. Best regards Annie.

Re: File attachments in IOS 8.
You want a three-finger swipe up, not down. Each time you do this, VoiceOver will say page x of y, such as page 2 of 5, hen page 3 of 5, and so on. Once it says that both numbers are the same (e.g. page 5 of 5), you should be able to find and activate the button.

Also, the problem I had attributed to weather has cropped up again when trying to send messages. So it does look like a Siri issue. My phone is a 5 with 16 Gb of RAM if that means anything.

Yes, you can get it work, but is that really worth it, that is another issue. Of course, one could argue that it only cost $100, as compare to $1000 for an upgrade. If you have that mind set, go ahead, nothing stopping you on switching over to Androy. Just bare in mind, whatever phone you choose to get for Androy platform, make sure you get Androy 4.3 and above. The best entry and low end level phone for Google Stock Androy is Moto G or Moto E, which is between $200 and $350 (depending on specific model. In another word, Androy is good to see, good to touch, is great as a secondary phone even. But, not all Androy phones are accessible for the blind. That is the bottom line of the Androy OS.

Hello Paul, With Talking Goggles, your phone must not be on silent. The buttons should say from right to left: Still Camera, Record or Stop, Change language now en, and if Stop is showing, Flash.

If you have a Podcast client I highly recommend you subscribe to the Applevis podcast, you can set it to not download any Podcasts, but this way you get to see what they release and you can either stream or download any podcasts you want to listen to. Furthermore, Jonathan Mosen has just finished a presentation on the Accessible World Tech Talk. I have pasted his email letting the list know about it below so you can go and listen to a recording of his presentation. Anyhow, in short, iOS 8 has some neat new features and some even neater new bugs. Knowing your reaction after iOS 6 and iOS 7 came out, I think your decision to stay with iOS 7.1.2 is a good one. Wait until iOS 8.0.1 comes out and see what fixes are reported on the Viphone list and on Applevis and then you can see if you want to upgrade or wait a bit longer for more fixes to happen. Anyhow, here is Jonathan's message: Hi everyone, on Monday 22 September at 8 PM Eastern US time, I'll be giving a Tek Talk presentation on the free Accessible World chat site about iOS 8. I'll discuss some of the new features in iOS 8 and demonstrate their use, as well as look at the high number of significant bugs in iOS 8 and their implications. There'll also be plenty of time for you to share your own experiences with iOS 8 and ask questions. If you're not available to attend the event live, a download will be made available after the event. You can visit http://accessibleWorld.org and navigate to the Pat Price Tek Talk Training Room.

TuneIn Radio and IOS 8
Hi there, I have no idea if anyone knew the answer to my previous question regarding using TuneIn radio and IOS 8. I do have a similar question though. Is it possible to downgrade to a previous version of TuneIn radio? The reason I ask is because when I did an upgrade to my phone, I did an iCloud restore and got all of my apps back with no problem. However, I got into it and the only options I got were to either sign up with email or sign in using an account. I've had no account in the past and was always just able to listen to stations from the app itself without having to sign in or sign up. Any solutions, or is everything I had gone? Thanks much. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

I find I get the best results by putting a page of text on a table, like I would be reading it in Braille or visually. Then hold the phone sideways a few centimetres above the page. Use the vibration feedback so that the phone stops vibrating, indicating you have the angle right, then take the picture. For further feedback before you take the picture, you might use the field of view report, particularly in the early stages. Good luck. This thing really rocks so stick with it.

The vibration thingy is really a great help, they've been thinking there. At the risk of sounding stupid again, should i not hold the phone with the camera pointing to the top of the document but rather as if i had it in landscape mode? /Krister 18 sep 2014 kl. 18:15 skrev Jonathan Mosen jmo...@mosen.org: Hi Krister, hard to know what you're doing without seeing what you're doing, but the one thing that comes to mind is, are you holding the phone lengthways or sideways? I find I get the best results by putting a page of text on a table, like I would be reading it in Braille or visually. Then hold the phone sideways a few centimetres above the page. Use the vibration feedback so that the phone stops vibrating, indicating you have the angle right, then take the picture. For further feedback before you take the picture, you might use the field of view report, particularly in the early stages. Good luck. This thing really rocks so stick with it.

Me, i got a lot of gibberish and some readable text but not much. Is there a technique for this? Does the reader give some kind of feedback when all text's detected? Anyways now i know that it's me and not the app that's stupid.:-) /Krister 18
Re: Iphone 6 and 6 plus
On the bottom on the very left side at least on the 6. Saw the 6 plus, and it is almost as big as the iPad Mini. reggie and Allegra On Sep 23, 2014, at 6:22 PM, David Gross david.dgro...@gmail.com wrote: I appreciate all the feedback on this list.

Re: TuneIn Radio and IOS 8
think the only way is to do a restore from backup of your phone. I think unless you have an account you can't get all your presets when you reinstall the app. Same with recordings Good luck. If not, you can always add the stations you like again.Hope this helps, Ioana Sent from my iPhone On Sep 23, 2014, at 6:34 PM, Tom Cramer tom.cram...@gmail.com wrote: Hi there, I have no idea if anyone knew the answer to my previous question regarding using TuneIn radio and IOS 8. I do have a similar question though. Is it possible to downgrade to a previous version of TuneIn radio? The reason I ask is because when I did an upgrade to my phone, I did an iCloud restore and got all of my apps back with no problem. However, I got into it and the only options I got were to either sign up with email or sign in using an account. I've had no account in the past and was always just able to listen to stations from the app itself without having to sign in or sign up. Any solutions, or is everything I had gone?
