Just to add that when I say to swipe up more than twice, it is because one swipe raises speed ratio for 0.1x. Moving from 1.0x to 1.1x may not be particularly notable but it certainly works. On AppleVis forums I have implemented most of the suggestions within one week from the suggestion, so I

First to Richard, no you were not clear in your answer that it works properly on Voice Dream Reader. If that was clear I would answer differently. However you can hear that even people here confirm here that it works and assume that you simply didn't want to swipe more than twice to hear that

I must say I didn't expect that you will write something as this. Wow. So your only argument is that I have made a spin that Voice Dream Reader sells for 100$/year, while the reality is that they are selling only sometimes at 100$ and mostly and 80$. Well that was a spin, but at the end of the

Yeah, you would think they would have done that. I only put it out there as a possible tool since it is free, and without being able to see the controls, I was able to raise the magnification level to a point where I was able to read the clock on my microwave from a fair distance away, so

Chris, you do not need a Wi-Fi 6 or 6E network for smart home devices. The main benefit of adding the 6 Ghz band is that a router can support up to 200 devices so unless you think you will have that many there is no huge benefit. Some of the most bandwidth hungry devices are security cameras,

Replacement for Move app?

Hi everyone, A few years ago, I found a fitness app called Move. Every now and then throughout the day, at the frequency I specified, it would remind me to move and would suggest an exercise I could do in a couple of minutes, such as 10 push-ups, climbing four flights of steps, or doing the

Hi All, For those that have any useable vision, there is a new app from Humanware called Explore Magnifier. I have just downloaded it and it appears to be a very simple magnifier. So far I see that you can change the level of magnification and take a picture of what you are looking at. No

What do you need a garage for? Is it where you park your electric cane?  Also, just my thoughts on mesh routers, if you have an apartment and it's not like one of those penthouse ones which are typically 3 times the size of my house, there really is no need for a mesh router with a satellite.

The interface is not very friendly. There is a control which says something like 0 percent adjustable which you can flick up or down to adjust the level of magnification, or use the add or “-“ buttons to increase or decrease the level. The only other labeled control I find is camera. I

It is clearly not intended for someone who uses VoiceOver since they have not bothered creating VoiceOver labels for things. I guess one could try using the VoiceOver Recognition setting to see if that helped any with this app. One might think that if it is intended for low-vision users, they

Hello Pam. Thank you for letting us know about this. I will definitely install the app and give it a spin. One thing, however, I have often wondered how a third-party magnifier app is any better than just using the phone’s built-in camera? Just curious. Mark From: viphone@googlegroups.com
