Voice Dream problems?

Hey guys, I’ve been using Voice Dream for a long time and for the most part it’s been great! Starting about a month ago or so, I started encountering a really annoying bug though. I’ll have Alex reading along and all of a sudden it will just….stop. If I pick up my phone and hit the play button

Re: need to know where the options key is on the bluetooth keyboard

There's a navigation mode one can switch on using up/down arrow keys together, and there's another related combination (if Enter doesn't do it) to effect a touch or double-tap. Used to love all these things, but terrible out of practice now. - Original Message - From: "Arlene"

quite often it beeps and beeps really fast but doesn't read anything, i wanted it to read some baby food jars but it wouldn't do it for ages and then suddenly begin to read it and i never knew what made it finally read it. it was so frustrating and a thing that should take a few seconds could

Re: Seeing AI help

I'm sorry you are having trouble. I use the document channel a lot and have about a 95 percent success rate with it reading the entire document. The times it doesn't, I've found that either the lighting is bad, or I'm not holding the phone correctly, or the printing is not very good. The key

Re: A Different Question RE: Seeing AI help

Karen, Dave is right. You need iOS 11 for the product channel to work on a 5s. You are also missing the new Currency channel because you are on iOS 10. So, once you replace that app, you will get both of those channels. HTH, Richard “The secret is not to make your music louder, but to make

Re: need to know where the options key is on the bluetooth keyboard

That is often an FN key for shifting other standard keys to do something else. Laptops use the idea when they allow use of JKL and same 3 above and below as a number keypad, when keyboard itself hasn't got one. So I suggest that key can or would be used to achieve something similar. I'll

Re: need to know where the options key is on the bluetooth keyboard

Ah, VO is a defined key combination for these things, and so goes in the manual as vo-right arrow, vo-left arrow and in this case, vo-space. The vo combination can be changed, but current combination is good. - Original Message - From: "Richard Turner"

Sounds like you are describing User Error in your post. You can be assured that if the bar code is in focus it will read, assuming the code is in the data base. The fast beeping is to guide you to the code. When using Short Text mode, the app only needs to get a quick picture of the page. You

The Eye-D first came for the android OS. It came with the free version and the paid pro version. As far as I know, what we have for the iOS is only the free light version, and in the near future they will release the paid-pro version for the iOS. which has many more features. Cheers, Cris

RE: Seeing AI help

Also, it might help if you can ask a sighted friend or family menber to observe you when you try to use the Document or barcode channels, they might be able to give you feedback which might help down the road. All in all I still think that Seeing AI is an awesome tool offering so many features

Hi Alan, I hope Maria is right and I can’t possibly imagine why Apple would not put resources into improving SIRI especially since they now have the Homepod which uses SIRI is it’s only interface. I am sure they know how big Alexa is and also Google Home although I have a feeling Amazon is

RE: Do more with Siri on HomePod, Apple Support

I can play my Podcasts easily enough with Overcast on my iPhone, but of course it’s also nice if you can just say “Alexa, play Today in iOS Podcast”,, obviously this seems to work for some people and it even works for me for so far at least the Windows Weekly Podcast, but I have no luck to ask

RE: Fleksy VO Coming Back as FlickType

You have to try it, interestingly enough I never did get to be really good with Fleksy even before they went mainstream and changed it all around. Maybe Flicktype will be even better then Fleksy ever was, I will definitely give it a try when it is available, but I didn’t need it desparately

Re: Fleksy VO Coming Back as FlickType

Mike, No, the FlickType keyboard has no shift keys which makes it easier to type with since you only have to be concerned with the location of the letter keys. If you are manually typing a word such as a proper name which you wish to capitalize, you type the first letter which will be lower
