Re: Voice Dream Reader and PDF
I do not have a PDF app and I've opened and read PDF files. Are you using the latest version of Voice Dream Reader? There was a bug concerning PDF files that was fixed in the latest version.

Voice Dream Reader and mp3 Files was RE: Voice Dream Reader and PDF
John, Yes, you can play mp3 audio files in Voice Dream Reader and also change the speed at which they read. When you've got the file in your library and selected it to play, choose audio settings from the top line menu and a speed bar will be presented where you can select the playback speed.

Re: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
I have no doubt that the Apple watch will sell quite well. No doubt also, that many of those who buy one, whether they be sighted or blind, will be doing so to be a part of the cool set. Guess I'll just have to be one of the uncool (Smile). I haven't worn a watch in the past 25 years, and can't imagine getting enough benefit to want one attached to my wrist now. For those who do want one though, I'd be interested in hearing why, and also interested in hearing what they think about it after several months of use.

Re: Voice Dream Reader and PDF
Yes, and yes. And, if you have a book with multiple files, zip them into one file, name the zip file with the Book title. So long as the files are named so they will be in the correct order, either by number or alphabetical. Put that zip file on Dropbox, or somewhere else that you can download it with Voice Dream Reader. Voice Dream will name the book with the zip file name, and each file will be treated as a chapter.

Re: Everyone, What do you consider when choosing a phone?
I am using an iPhone 5S. I chose it because of the built-in accessibility and all the apps that work so well with VoiceOver. I use my computer much less now that I have the iPhone. At my work, we have clients who do not want a touch screen, but want speech output and access to their contacts, and text messages. One phone several people have chosen is the Odin VI.

I was wondering, what are some of the things you consider when buying a phone, either smartphone or basic phone?

Re: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
Hi Rick, As I said in a different thread, I won't be ordering an Apple Watch. However, I would be very interested to know why you are. Do you now use a braille watch? Just curious. I can't imagine not having a braille watch, it's so convenient for what it is. And I also I'm just not seeing any upside to having to watch the Apple one that is. So, I do respect your opinion and your tech savvy, so would love to know why you are going to be up at 3 AM to place your order. Good luck with it.

Re: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
Hi Firstly, I hope this goes to the list; doing it on a MacBook Air and it’s the first time I’ve replied other than to an individual. Tempting but for one thing I think it would be better to try them to get the strap size right and also I’ve had enough spent on me lately; smile. I’m hoping to get one for Christmas; yes I know that’s ages! By then I’ll doubtless have heard all about the accessibility, what we can actually do with it. I at first thought I’d like the Apple Watch but wonder now if the sport model would be better as in time there could be a better version so maybe I’ll go for the sport one with a pink band. It will be nice to get my hands on a first gen model; exciting.

I have no doubt that the Apple watch will sell quite well. No doubt also, that many of those who buy one, whether they be sighted or blind, will be doing so to be a part of the cool set. Guess I'll just have to be one of the uncool (Smile). I haven't worn a watch in the past 25 years, and can't imagine getting enough benefit to want one attached to my wrist now.

Re: Everyone, What do you consider when choosing a phone?
Hi I chose the iPhone for its built in text to speech, the number of accessible app that are available to aid me in my day to day life,the available memory storage and the fact that all of Apple's iDevices are so much similar in their useage, once I had mastered the use of my iPhone I had the knowledge necessary to be able to use an iPad or iPod. Donna. I have an iPhone 6 with 128gigs of memory. Hi everyone, Hope you are doing well. I was wondering, what are some of the things you consider when buying a phone, either smartphone or basic phone? For example, some people must choose a phone that has physical keys, some people choose phone based on what blind-specific apps are on that platform, some people don't want touchscreen, and of course price. I'm doing a research and would love to know what are maybe top 5 to 7 things you consider. Just whatever things come to your mind right away. And please also kindly share with us what phone you're using now. It should be interesting to see how we choose our phone differently. Thanks a lot!

RE: Problem Running Braille Display with iOS 8.2
Well, I would agree fully if it was true for all displays, but that's not the case. Right now the worst ones to use to write on are the Humanware ones. I also don't have the best experience with the HIMS Braille Edge, but at least it takes it a while longer before it gets weird. Right now the Focus Blue from Freedom Scientific seems to handle things the best. At least the ones I have access to, it's the best so far. No delays, and it just works all around. I only wish I could reverse the panning buttons on the front, but that's more of a Freedom Scientific thing I suspect. -- Raul A.

Re: Problem Running Braille Display with iOS 8.2
Yes, writing braille on a PC is a much better experience, kind of like the experience you used to get with Mobile Speak in the old days. Too bad Apple, or Google for that matter, couldn't get that implimented. Honestly, if Android had better support for braille, I'd give it a serious look.

Re: braille screen input question
If you use contracted Braille Screen Input then VO will not speak any characters. As I understand it the word is held in some kind of buffer set by the translator. The buffer is then released when you do a space or newline. If you set it to Six Dot with a three finger swipe to the left or right then VO will speak by character providing it is set that way in settings, general, accessibility, VoiceOver and typing feedback.

RE: Apple TV?
Hi, I own the current version of the Apple TV. It currently has available about 62 or 63 channels or apps whatever you choose to call them from Netflix to hulu Plus to HBO to MLB TV to Podcasts to YouTube. Some are free and some cost a monthly or yearly subscription. I pay about $8 a month for the Netflix and Hulu Plus and the YouTube and Podcast are each free. There are also channels such as Disney and History and other network related channels that will give you a little or no content unless you also have that channel on your local cable subscription. That part is frustrating if you have the channel but your provider does not get recognized by the channel as playing with Apple TV so you still can't get the free content on your apple TV. I currently use 13 out of the 62 or 63 channels mostly because of that very reason. Other than the news channels and Podcast as well as YouTube I use Netflix and WWE network the most. The other individual in the house uses Hulu Plus more than Netflix. Then there is also the ability to stream from iTunes as well as from my PC. I have not used the iTunes streaming as in purchasing movies or television but I do stream from both the PC and from my iPhone frequently. And I also use Airplay which is different than what I just described. I use my MLB at bat or my amazon Instant or some other app to stream from the phone using airplay because of the sound bar having better sound and I can go throughout the house and do my thing while streaming through the apple TV to the sound bar while charging my phone. And the talking menus is a definite plus since I don't live in a Comcast area, smile! Hope that helps. Merv -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

RE: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
Hi Mary. I currently alternate through 2 watches, a Tisot Silent T, and a watch that is both Braille and talking. I frequently use the BEM speaker band but it isn't a watch. Here are my reasons for getting the Apple watch. 1. I'm a geek and just can't help myself. (lol) 2. I look forward to not having to take my phone off of my belt case every time a notification comes in and getting haptec alerts on my wrist. 3. I also look forward to being able to read and reply to text messages via the watch again without having to fumble for my phone. 4. Making and receiving calls right on the watch also really appeals to me. After reading the many hands-on reviews around, I'm sure there will be some other functions that I'll use daily. I think it's really a matter of convenience. I do agree however that it won't be for everyone and the things that appeal to me might be a turn off for others. My only concern is that it's a 1.0 product and I think we all know how that could go but again the geek in me says go for it Dude! Some of the functionality coming with the Apple watch I was actually getting with the BEM speaker band but alas it isn't a watch.

Re: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
Hi As to why I want one: I suppose my main reason is that I just want to play, see what it can do or rather, what it will be like to use it. Also I understand that it will communicate with my phone anywhere in the house over the WIFI; I can’t do this with my bluetooth earpiece, my house is slightly too long I think. I used to wear a talking watch until it broke and don’t really miss it but if it will be possible to get the time on it accessibly this will be cool. It’ll be good to wear a watch which is water resistant too: not having to quickly remove it should I get caught in the rain and not having to worry when washing my hands. Above all though, I confess to being excited over the prospect of such a device which as a blind person it appears I’ll be able to use, at least to some degree; how much we’ll be able to use still remains to be seen and I can hardly wait until those early adopters have tried it and let the rest of us know their findings.

I haven't worn a watch in the past 25 years, and can't imagine getting enough benefit to want one attached to my wrist now. For those who do want one though, I'd be interested in hearing why, and also interested in hearing what they think about it after several months of use.

RE: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
Hi Rick, Am I right to assume that all calls you take on your watch will be with open speaker and therefore, not private? If I'm on a bus, restaurant or any other public place, I don't really like the idea of people around me hearing the other end of the conversation, so short as it may be. I've been using a cell phone for 25 years and it took me a long time even to accept the idea of answering my phone in public. Maybe that's because there weren't very many cell phones around and too many people who had them talked as loud as they could so that everyone around realized they were important enough to have a cell phone. Back then, I was totally blind and a piano tuner and loved my phone because I was on the road all day and found it very convenient to be able to call my next customer for instructions to get to their house and not to pretend that I was a very famous brain surgeon who had to be on call at all times.

Re: Everyone, What do you consider when choosing a phone?
Good point. I started out with the iPod Touch 4th Generation just to see how I would get on with an accessible touch screen device. It didn't take me long to migrate to the iPhone 4 and the learning curve was hardly there apart from how to make and receive calls. There was a small learning curve when I upgraded to the iPhone 4s two years after that because of Siri. When I got the iPad Mini 2, there was a slightly bigger learning curve because of the larger screen and iPad specific features. Being I'm a quick learner it didn't take me long to grasp an iPad either.

Donna. I have an iPhone 6 with 128gigs of memory. Hi everyone, Hope you are doing well. I was wondering, what are some of the things you consider when buying a phone, either smartphone or basic phone? For example, some people must choose a phone that has physical keys, some people choose phone based on what blind-specific apps are on that platform, some people don't want touchscreen, and of course price. I'm doing a research and would love to know what are maybe top 5 to 7 things you consider. Just whatever things come to your mind right away. And please also kindly share with us what phone you're using now. It should be interesting to see how we choose our phone differently. Thanks a lot!

Re: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
Thanks, Rick. I am looking forward to hearing the reviews especially from blind people who are using the watch. It could be cool, but I don't get that many phone calls. So, I just can't give up my braille watch, because I do check the time a lot, and I don't always want the room to know I'm doing it. Smile.

Re: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
Hi. At the risk of sounding like a me too message, I must fully agree with Rick's reasons for getting an Apple Watch. However what I'm going to do is wait for my birthday in July. This will accomplish two things. 1, I'll see how it trends, problems and solutions people have. 2, it will give people time to consider pulling together for that cool birthday gift since I'll be 42, and as we all know, that's the answer to life, the universe, and everything. *smile*.

Re: ios 8.3 is out
Indeed, 8.3 feels stable and solid. It fixes most of the VoiceOver bugs 8.0 introduced, and adds some nice features (two-finger swipe left in braille input to delete by word, for instance).

Re: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
If I do get it, I'll probably wait awhile too. I want to wait and hear voiceover demos with it first, to see what kind of accessibility we actually get with it. I did hear that some site called Lumoid will eventually allow one to rent it for a week for $25, or $35 or something like that. For me, getting a ride to the Apple Store, clear across the state would cost more than that, so I'd consider doing that to see what VO does on it if demos don't come out by then. - Original Message - From: Raul A.

Re: Voice Dream Reader and PDF

Family sharing questions.
Hello list, I have some questions about family sharing feature: 1. At first would anyone, please, describe how does it work? 2. In case I will setup Family sharing how many people can be invited? 3. Let's say I will purchase an app, how will other people know that they can download the app and is it completely free for them? 4. In case I will purchase an app that requires in-app purchase (such as Diceworld, triviacrack etc), each member must do in-app purchase or is it included in family sharing feature? 5. Is it possible to add previously purchased apps and make them available for family sharing? 6. Can I purchase an app just for myself that will not be included in family sharing or once I setup family sharing every single app will be included? Sorry for all these questions, but I am very new with IOS 8 and thinking about setting up family sharing. I hope my mail makes sense. Thank youfor your help in advance.

Re: Adjustable Sliders Won't Adjust
Okay, I figured it out. On this thing, the rotor must be set to adjust value before I can adjust anything. Adjust value does not appear in the rotor until I have touched something I want to adjust, then it won't adjust it until I put the rotor to adjust value.

Re: A Very, Very Comprehensive cNet Review of the Apple Watch
Hello, thanks for this article. I can tell you that I certainly am not interested right now in the apple watch as great as it is, just not practical for me right now. He is no fool who gives away what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose. On Apr 8, 2015, at 4:51 PM, M. Taylor mk...@ucla.edu wrote: Hello Everyone, The following is a very, and I do mean very long and comprehensive cNet review of the Apple watch written by Scott Stein. I encourage you to read this piece in its entirety as it paints a very realistic picture of what Apple Watch currently is and is not. The link to the original article is located at the end of the text. Oh, one more thing. I did my best to clean out the image place holders and advertisement for ease of reading but my eyes got very tired so some garbled stuff may have slipped through. Enjoy, Mark The Apple Watch: A beautiful, bold watch, with complications By Scott Stein The Good The Apple Watch is a beautifully constructed, compact smartwatch. It's feature-packed, with solid fitness software, hundreds of apps, and the ability to send and receive calls via an iPhone. The Bad Battery barely lasts a day and recharge time is slow; most models and configurations cost more than they should; requires an iPhone 5 or later to work; interface can be confusing; sometimes slow to communicate with a paired iPhone. The Bottom Line The Apple Watch is the most ambitious, well-constructed smartwatch ever seen, but first-gen shortfalls make it feel more like a fashionable toy than a necessary tool. Four years ago, I wore an iPod Nano on my wrist and I loved it. I liked the novelty of it, the way it played music on my wrist, and could go with me anywhere. At the time, I wished the strapped-on music player, with its watch faces and little assortment of apps, could do more. And I dreamed of a day it might connect to my phone. Well, here we are. The Apple Watch is a brand-new Apple product, the first from-the-ground-up product line since the iPad and since Tim Cook took the helm. This watch is, in a way, a new type of wrist-worn super-iPod. It's also a symbiotic iPhone companion. And, it's a fitness device. It also embarks onto a churning sea of smartwatch launches -- many manufacturers have set sail with ambitious wearables; very few are bona fide successes. Most people aren't even sure they need one. Can the Apple Watch succeed where others have foundered? The Apple Watch comes in three different models, two different sizes, and six different finishes, with a range of swappable bands and prices ranging from $349, £299 or AU$499 all the way up to $17,000, £13,500 or AU$24,000. It's designed to be Apple's most personal product: fashion as much as it is tech. Apple's products have been fashionable for years, but now Apple wants these watches to transcend into jewelry. Smartwatches may one day be the future of phones, or a seamless extension of both them and your home, or any number of connected devices. Right now, they function as phone accessories. And that's where the Apple Watch lands. Apple designed the watch to help us look at our phones less. I'd call it more of a smaller screen in Apple's spectrum of differently sized screens. I used it instead of my phone, sometimes. Then, I'd go back to my phone. Has it changed my behavior? It's too early to tell yet, but it might. I've been using the Apple Watch for a week. I've worn it on my wrist every day, doing everything possible that I could think of. I've tracked walks and measured my heart rate, paid for lunch, listened to albums while exploring parks without my phone, chatted with family, kept up on email, looked for Uber cars, kept up on news, navigated on long car trips for Passover, controlled my Apple TV with it and followed baseball games while I was supposed to be watching my 2-year-old. The watch is beautiful and promising -- the most ambitious wearable that exists. But in an attempt to do everything in the first generation, the Apple Watch still leaves plenty to be desired. Short battery life compared with other watches and higher prices are the biggest flags for now. But Apple is just setting sail, and it has a long journey ahead. What it does, what it is Much like most other smartwatches, the Apple Watch isn't a standalone device -- it's a phone accessory. Android Wear, Samsung Gear, Pebble and others work the same way. But here, you must own an iPhone 5 or later to use the Watch. A few Apple Watch functions work away from the phone, but the watch primarily works alongside the phone as an extension, a second screen and basically another part of your iOS experience. It's a symbiote. Communication, fitness, information, time: these are the core Apple Watch functions, but the Watch is incredibly ambitious, packed with many, many features and apps. In scope, it reminds me of Samsung's ambitious Gear smartwatches, but
Re: Apple Watch and accessibility
It will be interesting to see if it will work at all with third-party apps like Uber, Trivia Crack, etc. - Original Message - From: Peter Logan To: Vi Phone Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2015 8:55 PM Subject: Apple Watch and accessibility After sending a note to Tim Cook asking about the accessibility of the Apple Watch ... here is the answer I got from Phil Schiller. I appreciate that they got back to me, and in a very timely manner. Peter, Thank you for your question about Apple Watch Accessibility. Yes, we do have support in Apple Watch for accessibility, that information will be posted on apple.com shortly. Below are the marketing descriptions of the Accessibility features for Apple Watch. Phil ——— VoiceOver VoiceOver is a gesture-based screen reader that uses the speaker on Apple Watch. It tells you everything that’s happening on the screen and helps you navigate it — even if you can’t see it. VoiceOver on Apple Watch is compatible with built-in apps and is available in all 14 supported languages. Font Adjustment Activate Larger Dynamic Type to increase the text size for a range of Apple Watch apps, including Mail, Messages, and Settings — and even some third-party apps — to make it easier to read. You can also choose Bold Text to make the text heavier across built-in apps. Zoom With Apple Watch, it’s easy to zoom in on your content by using the Digital Crown to move across the screen by rows. With magnification up to 15 times the native size, Zoom helps you enjoy all that Apple Watch has to offer. Grayscale If your vision is impaired by color, Apple Watch lets you enable grayscale onscreen. Once you set the filter, the settings apply systemwide, so you’ll see only shades of gray on the Home screen, apps, and more. Extra Large Watch Face Apple Watch has many different faces that you can change and customize. One of them is an extra large watch face — with numbers that take up the entire screen — that makes it easier to view the time. Reduce Transparency For features like alerts, Siri, and Glances, you can increase the contrast on your Apple Watch screen by reducing the background transparency. On/Off Labels To make it easier to see whether a setting is on or off, you can have Apple Watch show an additional label on the on/off switch. Reduce Motion When you turn on Reduce Motion, ﰆﰉﰃﰚﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰔﰃﰦﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰆﰃﰔﰏﰅﰆﰊﰛﰏﰏﰁﰅﰏﰌﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰆﰜﰅﰡﰃﰛﰅﰏﰞﰍﰔﰚﰌﰏﰜﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰚﰍﰛﰍﰌﰌﰍﰞﰅﰏﰄﰏﰊﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰈﰊﰃﰁﰆﰆﰉﰃﰚﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰔﰃﰦﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰆﰃﰔﰏﰅﰆﰊﰛﰏﰏﰁﰅﰏﰌﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰆﰜﰅﰡﰃﰛﰅﰏﰞﰍﰔﰚﰌﰏﰜﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰚﰍﰛﰍﰌﰌﰍﰞﰅﰏﰄﰏﰊﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰈﰊﰃﰁﰆﰆﰉﰃﰚﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰔﰃﰦﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰆﰃﰔﰏﰅﰆﰊﰛﰏﰏﰁﰅﰏﰌﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰆﰜﰅﰡﰃﰛﰅﰏﰞﰍﰔﰚﰌﰏﰜﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰚﰍﰛﰍﰌﰌﰍﰞﰅﰏﰄﰏﰊﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰈﰊﰃﰁﰆsome screen elements no longer move.

8.3 UPDATE ... ANYONE ELSE NOTICED ...
Hi all, Well, sighs of relief here as I discover my 4S has finally come back to life ... but it wasn't as usual. I upgraded to 8.3 over Wifi, without using iTunes, as I just hate it ... I got the prompts to accept and waited, but things were obviously very busy with everyone upgrading and I never got any vocal feedback that anything was happening. Some while later I heard a few noises coming from VoiceOver, but they were only tiny fragments of words ... and then another silence. I was unable to determine exactly what was happening, but left well alone, had a cuppa etc. I got back to my phone, gently flicked a finger across and got nothing ... so wondered. I determined that I'd just sit it out and wait, if needed, for a friend to call by in the morning to ascertain what she could see on the screen. Then my husband said, Shall I call you and find out if your phone responds? I decided it couldn't hurt, since anyone could have called me during this upgrade period ... so he did. The phone rang, VoiceOver spoke and - finally - somehow - we're back in business again. Well, it wasn't as sstraightforward as most I've known but, well, that idea to call me was sure worth it!

A Question About The New Emoji Keyboard in iOS 8.3
Hello Everyone, You know, I was going to update my 5 S from 8.2 to 8.3 just after I updated my 6 Plus to 8.3. Then, for whatever reason, I decided to hold off and do a little comparison of various features. I'm sitting here fiddling with the new Emoji keyboard and, from my perspective, there does not appear to be as many symbols as in 8.2. I realize that I must be missing something but, for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it is. In 8.2, when using the Emoji keyboard, there are several tabs at the bottom of the keyboard. Above the keyboard, there are sub-pages listed as page 1, page 2, etc. The pages at the top offer more symbols that exist in the category that is selected at the bottom. Now, in 8.3, as far as I can tell, there are no sub-pages per category but rather 20-pages, altogether. Of course I realize that some of the symbols now offer varying skin tones that may be accessed by a double-tap and hold but, even with this, from my perspective, there seems to be fewer symbols from which to choose. Perhaps there is a new gesture I'm missing or something. I would appreciate any feedback on this as I am a little confused.

Re: Problem Running Braille Display with iOS 8.2
Hi Raul, I agree the Focus displays are working beautifully in iOS. reverse panning is a feature of the screen reader's UI. For example, JAWS offers it in Braille Settings, but iOS does not. I guess it could be offered in the firmware potentially, but then you get into a situation where if it can be adjusted in both places, it can be quite difficult to troubleshoot.

Here is how the emoji keyboard is laid out now. There are now 8 categories of emoji's. The tabs are along the bottom. A few new emoji's have been added. The reason it seems as though that there is less is because each of the individual categories are no longer listed in pages per category. There is now one long list of emoji's with no clear division of each category. To make his clearer, if you choose the People tab, you are now able to swipe through all of the categories without choosing the next category tab. Donna Hello Everyone, You know, I was going to update my 5 S from 8.2 to 8.3 just after I updated my 6 Plus to 8.3. Then, for whatever reason, I decided to hold off and do a little comparison of various features. I'm sitting here fiddling with the new Emoji keyboard and, from my perspective, there does not appear to be as many symbols as in 8.2. I realize that I must be missing something but, for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it is. In 8.2, when using the Emoji keyboard, there are several tabs at the bottom of the keyboard. Above the keyboard, there are sub-pages listed as page 1, page 2, etc. The pages at the top offer more symbols that exist in the category that is selected at the bottom. Now, in 8.3, as far as I can tell, there are no sub-pages per category but rather 20-pages, altogether. Of course I realize that some of the symbols now offer varying skin tones that may be accessed by a double-tap and hold but, even with this, from my perspective, there seems to be fewer symbols from which to choose. Perhaps there is a new gesture I'm missing or something. I would appreciate any feedback on this as I am a little confused.

RE: Adjustable Sliders Won't Adjust
Hi, what I usually do is double tap and hold, then slide left or right. That gives me better control than what Voice Over does because of the fixed increments that Voice Over uses. -- Raul A.

On this thing, the rotor must be set to adjust value before I can adjust anything. Adjust value does not appear in the rotor until I have touched something I want to adjust, then it won't adjust it until I put the rotor to adjust value. My other phone isn't so picky, I usually could adjust things without having to have the rotor specifically set to adjust value. Whatever.

I upgraded to IOS 8.3 right after getting it, so I didn't know if it were 8.3, I have no reason to think so. But the adjustable sliders in, say the Bard app, or Voice Dream, won't adjust, no matter what I do. I know how they are supposed to work, how they work on my other phone, but not on this one. I have removed both apps from the app switcher and restarted them, and have rebooted the phone. I restored it from the backup of my other phone, but I wonder if something is wrong with this phone, being that it seems to be a problem with the adjustable sliders, not a specific app. This is not starting out well with my new phone.

A Very, Very Comprehensive cNet Review of the Apple Watch
Hello Everyone, The following is a very, and I do mean very long and comprehensive cNet review of the Apple watch written by Scott Stein. I encourage you to read this piece in its entirety as it paints a very realistic picture of what Apple Watch currently is and is not. The link to the original article is located at the end of the text. Oh, one more thing. I did my best to clean out the image place holders and advertisement for ease of reading but my eyes got very tired so some garbled stuff may have slipped through. Enjoy, Mark The Apple Watch: A beautiful, bold watch, with complications By Scott Stein The Good The Apple Watch is a beautifully constructed, compact smartwatch. It's feature-packed, with solid fitness software, hundreds of apps, and the ability to send and receive calls via an iPhone. The Bad Battery barely lasts a day and recharge time is slow; most models and configurations cost more than they should; requires an iPhone 5 or later to work; interface can be confusing; sometimes slow to communicate with a paired iPhone. The Bottom Line The Apple Watch is the most ambitious, well-constructed smartwatch ever seen, but first-gen shortfalls make it feel more like a fashionable toy than a necessary tool. Four years ago, I wore an iPod Nano on my wrist and I loved it. I liked the novelty of it, the way it played music on my wrist, and could go with me anywhere. At the time, I wished the strapped-on music player, with its watch faces and little assortment of apps, could do more. And I dreamed of a day it might connect to my phone. Well, here we are. The Apple Watch is a brand-new Apple product, the first from-the-ground-up product line since the iPad and since Tim Cook took the helm. This watch is, in a way, a new type of wrist-worn super-iPod. It's also a symbiotic iPhone companion. And, it's a fitness device. It also embarks onto a churning sea of smartwatch launches -- many manufacturers have set sail with ambitious wearables; very few are bona fide successes. Most people aren't even sure they need one. Can the Apple Watch succeed where others have foundered? The Apple Watch comes in three different models, two different sizes, and six different finishes, with a range of swappable bands and prices ranging from $349, £299 or AU$499 all the way up to $17,000, £13,500 or AU$24,000. It's designed to be Apple's most personal product: fashion as much as it is tech. Apple's products have been fashionable for years, but now Apple wants these watches to transcend into jewelry. Smartwatches may one day be the future of phones, or a seamless extension of both them and your home, or any number of connected devices. Right now, they function as phone accessories. And that's where the Apple Watch lands. Apple designed the watch to help us look at our phones less. I'd call it more of a smaller screen in Apple's spectrum of differently sized screens. I used it instead of my phone, sometimes. Then, I'd go back to my phone. Has it changed my behavior? It's too early to tell yet, but it might. I've been using the Apple Watch for a week. I've worn it on my wrist every day, doing everything possible that I could think of. I've tracked walks and measured my heart rate, paid for lunch, listened to albums while exploring parks without my phone, chatted with family, kept up on email, looked for Uber cars, kept up on news, navigated on long car trips for Passover, controlled my Apple TV with it and followed baseball games while I was supposed to be watching my 2-year-old. The watch is beautiful and promising -- the most ambitious wearable that exists. But in an attempt to do everything in the first generation, the Apple Watch still leaves plenty to be desired. Short battery life compared with other watches and higher prices are the biggest flags for now. But Apple is just setting sail, and it has a long journey ahead. What it does, what it is Much like most other smartwatches, the Apple Watch isn't a standalone device -- it's a phone accessory. Android Wear, Samsung Gear, Pebble and others work the same way. But here, you must own an iPhone 5 or later to use the Watch. A few Apple Watch functions work away from the phone, but the watch primarily works alongside the phone as an extension, a second screen and basically another part of your iOS experience. It's a symbiote. Communication, fitness, information, time: these are the core Apple Watch functions, but the Watch is incredibly ambitious, packed with many, many features and apps. In scope, it reminds me of Samsung's ambitious Gear smartwatches, but more fully realized. Apple Watch receives messages from friends, send texts and lets you dictate messages, make speakerphone calls, ping people with animated emoji, give love taps long-distance or send your heartbeat as a sort of long-distance hug. It tracks your steps, logs runs and monitors your heart rate. And yes, you can use Apple Watch to listen to music via wireless Bluetooth headphones. You can

It will make you look like Penny from Inspector Gadget. Of course. *smile*. Seriously, it's not going to be for everyone. I'm not sure of the practical reasons for it, but being the person I am, I'll find some. After all, it was once said, if the facts don't fit the theory, then the facts must be changed.

Apple Watch and accessibility
After sending a note to Tim Cook asking about the accessibility of the Apple Watch ... here is the answer I got from Phil Schiller. I appreciate that they got back to me, and in a very timely manner. Peter, Thank you for your question about Apple Watch Accessibility. Yes, we do have support in Apple Watch for accessibility, that information will be posted on apple.com shortly. Below are the marketing descriptions of the Accessibility features for Apple Watch. Phil ——— VoiceOver VoiceOver is a gesture-based screen reader that uses the speaker on Apple Watch. It tells you everything that’s happening on the screen and helps you navigate it — even if you can’t see it. VoiceOver on Apple Watch is compatible with built-in apps and is available in all 14 supported languages. Font Adjustment Activate Larger Dynamic Type to increase the text size for a range of Apple Watch apps, including Mail, Messages, and Settings — and even some third-party apps — to make it easier to read. You can also choose Bold Text to make the text heavier across built-in apps. Zoom With Apple Watch, it’s easy to zoom in on your content by using the Digital Crown to move across the screen by rows. With magnification up to 15 times the native size, Zoom helps you enjoy all that Apple Watch has to offer. Grayscale If your vision is impaired by color, Apple Watch lets you enable grayscale onscreen. Once you set the filter, the settings apply systemwide, so you’ll see only shades of gray on the Home screen, apps, and more. Extra Large Watch Face Apple Watch has many different faces that you can change and customize. One of them is an extra large watch face — with numbers that take up the entire screen — that makes it easier to view the time. Reduce Transparency For features like alerts, Siri, and Glances, you can increase the contrast on your Apple Watch screen by reducing the background transparency. On/Off Labels To make it easier to see whether a setting is on or off, you can have Apple Watch show an additional label on the on/off switch.

Voiceover and Statistics
Hey all. Now that I'm not required to keep my mouth shut about iOS 8.3 due to an NDA, I've noticed something strange with Voiceover when it comes to reading statistics in an app. I'll give you two examples of what I mean. In Sports Alerts before iOS 8.3, it would read your teams name, then read their record, like for example, Hawks, 59, 19, then the team that they're playing plus their record, and then the time. Now in iOS 8.3, Voiceover reads it like this: Hornets, Hawks, 59, 19, 33, 45, 6:30 PM. Another example of Voiceover's weird statistic reading is in Trivia Crack. Before iOS 8.3, it would say the current score of a game you're playing, then read who you're playing against, then they're level. Now in iOS 8.3, it reads your opponent's level, then their name, then how long you have left to play, and then the score last. Has anyone else experienced this weird reading of statistics in iOS 8.3? Do you think this is a bug or did Apple do this on purpose? -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

RE: iOS 8.3 is out!
I was pleasantly surprised with my wifi updating experience. Took a total of maybe fifteen minutes. I usually do it via the PC, but this time I was too lazy to turn the computer on and launch iTunes etc. Don’t think I’ll make a habit out of updating over wifi, but at least this time for me, no problems and everything from the download to the installation to the phone turning back on was relatively quick.

Re: 8.3 UPDATE ... ANYONE ELSE NOTICED ...
Just as an FYI, you do get some updates on the screen, such as downloading, verifying update and so on. I couldn't get to these updates by flicking, but I was able to find them just by exploring the screen. Obviously, once the iPhone reboots, you just have to wait.

RE: A Question About The New Emoji Keyboard in iOS 8.3
Hello Donna, Thank you for your reply. I gleamed this new layout but, still, to me, it seems as though there are fewer symbols. Oh well, it is what it is. Thank you for confirming the new layout. Mark -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Donna Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2015 7:02 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: A Question About The New Emoji Keyboard in iOS 8.3 Hi I have to say that I hate the emoji keyboard!! Here is how the emoji keyboard is laid out now. There are now 8 categories of emoji's. The tabs are along the bottom. A few new emoji's have been added. The reason it seems as though that there is less is because each of the individual categories are no longer listed in pages per category. There is now one long list of emoji's with no clear division of each category. To make his clearer, if you choose the People tab, you are now able to swipe through all of the categories without choosing the next category tab. Donna Hello Everyone, You know, I was going to update my 5 S from 8.2 to 8.3 just after I updated my 6 Plus to 8.3. Then, for whatever reason, I decided to hold off and do a little comparison of various features. I'm sitting here fiddling with the new Emoji keyboard and, from my perspective, there does not appear to be as many symbols as in 8.2. I realize that I must be missing something but, for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it is. In 8.2, when using the Emoji keyboard, there are several tabs at the bottom of the keyboard. Above the keyboard, there are sub-pages listed as page 1, page 2, etc. The pages at the top offer more symbols that exist in the category that is selected at the bottom. Now, in 8.3, as far as I can tell, there are no sub-pages per category but rather 20-pages, altogether. Of course I realize that some of the symbols now offer varying skin tones that may be accessed by a double-tap and hold but, even with this, from my perspective, there seems to be fewer symbols from which to choose. Perhaps there is a new gesture I'm missing or something. I would appreciate any feedback on this as I am a little confused.

Font Adjustment Activate Larger Dynamic Type to increase the text size for a range of Apple Watch apps, including Mail, Messages, and Settings — and even some third-party apps — to make it easier to read. You can also choose Bold Text to make the text heavier across built-in apps. Zoom With Apple Watch, it’s easy to zoom in on your content by using the Digital Crown to move across the screen by rows. With magnification up to 15 times the native size, Zoom helps you enjoy all that Apple Watch has to offer. Grayscale If your vision is impaired by color, Apple Watch lets you enable grayscale onscreen. Once you set the filter, the settings apply systemwide, so you’ll see only shades of gray on the Home screen, apps, and more. Extra Large Watch Face Apple Watch has many different faces that you can change and customize. One of them is an extra large watch face — with numbers that take up the entire screen — that makes it easier to view the time. Reduce Transparency For features like alerts, Siri, and Glances, you can increase the contrast on your Apple Watch screen by reducing the background transparency. On/Off Labels To make it easier to see whether a setting is on or off, you can have Apple Watch show an additional label on the on/off switch.

RE: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
Apple let's you return anything in 30 days. So, I am trying to decide if I want to wait for others' to figure it out or try for myself. I do like the idea of functions on my wrist, but there has to be enough of them accessible via Voiceover to justify the price. Also, being a first generation device, and with Apple's recent business model of Microsoft releases (put it out and let customers find bugs)... But, I have always been something of an explorer.

If I do get it, I'll probably wait awhile too. I want to wait and hear voiceover demos with it first, to see what kind of accessibility we actually get with it. I did hear that some site called Lumoid will eventually allow one to rent it for a week for $25, or $35 or something like that. For me, getting a ride to the Apple Store, clear across the state would cost more than that, so I'd consider doing that to see what VO does on it if demos don't come out by then. - Original Message - From: Raul A.

At the risk of sounding like a me too message, I must fully agree with Rick's reasons for getting an Apple Watch. However what I'm going to do is wait for my birthday in July. This will accomplish two things. 1, I'll see how it trends, problems and solutions people have. 2, it will give people time to consider pulling together for that cool birthday gift since I'll be 42, and as we all know, that's the answer to life, the universe, and everything. *smile*.

I currently alternate through 2 watches, a Tisot Silent T, and a watch that is both Braille and talking. I frequently use the BEM speaker band but it isn't a watch. Here are my reasons for getting the Apple watch. 1. I'm a geek and just can't help myself. (lol) 2. I look forward to not having to take my phone off of my belt case every time a notification comes in and getting haptec alerts on my wrist. 3. I also look forward to being able to read and reply to text messages via the watch again without having to fumble for my phone. 4. Making and receiving calls right on the watch also really appeals to me. After reading the many hands-on reviews around, I'm sure there will be some other functions that I'll use daily. I think it's really a matter of convenience. I do agree however that it won't be for everyone and the things that appeal to me might be a turn off for others. My only concern is that it's a 1.0 product and I think we all know how that could go but again the geek in me says go for it Dude! Some of the functionality coming with the Apple watch I was actually getting with the BEM speaker band but alas it isn't a watch.

Hi Rick, As I said in a different thread, I won't be ordering an Apple Watch. However, I would be very interested to know why you are. Do you now use a braille watch? Just curious. I can't imagine not having a braille watch, it's so convenient for what it is. And I also I'm just not seeing any upside to having to watch the Apple one that is. So, I do respect your opinion and your tech savvy, so would love to know why you are going to be up at 3 AM to place your order. Good luck with it.

Re: A Question About The New Emoji Keyboard in iOS 8.3
Hi I have to say that I hate the emoji keyboard!! Here is how the emoji keyboard is laid out now. There are now 8 categories of emoji's. The tabs are along the bottom. A few new emoji's have been added. The reason it seems as though that there is less is because each of the individual categories are no longer listed in pages per category. There is now one long list of emoji's with no clear division of each category. To make his clearer, if you choose the People tab, you are now able to swipe through all of the categories without choosing the next category tab. Donna Hello Everyone, You know, I was going to update my 5 S from 8.2 to 8.3 just after I updated my 6 Plus to 8.3. Then, for whatever reason, I decided to hold off and do a little comparison of various features. I'm sitting here fiddling with the new Emoji keyboard and, from my perspective, there does not appear to be as many symbols as in 8.2. I realize that I must be missing something but, for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it is. In 8.2, when using the Emoji keyboard, there are several tabs at the bottom of the keyboard. Above the keyboard, there are sub-pages listed as page 1, page 2, etc. The pages at the top offer more symbols that exist in the category that is selected at the bottom. Now, in 8.3, as far as I can tell, there are no sub-pages per category but rather 20-pages, altogether. Of course I realize that some of the symbols now offer varying skin tones that may be accessed by a double-tap and hold but, even with this, from my perspective, there seems to be fewer symbols from which to choose. Perhaps there is a new gesture I'm missing or something. I would appreciate any feedback on this as I am a little confused.

Activating the picker
Hello, Is there some trick to activating the picker? I'm on the petfinder.com site (in case someone wants to give it a try) and double tapping is not activating the pickers. Am I missing something or is it a problem with the site? Sometimes this happens on other sites too but I'm never sureif I'm not doing something right. Thanks for any help!
