RE: Contacts database
Hi Dave, I've done it that way, the result was that vo will mention the name of the sender of a message but will not mention the name of the caller. This is because the incoming calls are without international prefix/code. I didn't have this problem when I was using Nokia e7. I hope Apple has rectified this in ios 6? Meanwhile, I'll do what someone in this lists suggested, to duplicate the number ( one with international/code and other without ). Thanks for your contribution.

Re: Contacts database
Hello, I am in New Zealand, and it works fine here. VO always announces the name of the caller if in my contacts. Also, the last time I was in the states last October, VO announced the names of my callers if in contacts. I am using an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1. In other words, I am not experiencing the problem you have when using the international + dialling sequence. What carrier are you using? I use Vodafone here in NZ, and was on ATT in the states.

Re: Shortcut for typing a period ?
Hi Suzanne, in short, double-tap and hold makes the keyboard change temporarily to the numbers keyboard with the common symbols. The period is where the z key is and the comma is where the x key is. So, if you double-tap and hold the numbers button, drag your finger to the location of the z and you will see it's a period, list your finger and a period will be entered, or do the same with a comma or a number. When you do it this way, the keyboard immediately returns back to letters when finished. This is why it's only useful if you will be doing 1 or 2 symbols or numbers in your writing. I hope that makes sense. -- Raul A. Gallegos I feel sorry for people who don't drink.

The period is where the z key is and the comma is where the x key is. So, if you double-tap and hold the numbers button, drag your finger to the location of the z and you will see it's a period, list your finger and a period will be entered, or do the same with a comma or a number. When you do it this way, the keyboard immediately returns back to letters when finished. This is why it's only useful if you will be doing 1 or 2 symbols or numbers in your writing.

RE: Shortcut for typing a period ?
Hey Raul; Thanks for the good tip. Anthony -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A.

The period is where the z key is and the comma is where the x key is. So, if you double-tap and hold the numbers button, drag your finger to the location of the z and you will see it's a period, list your finger and a period will be entered, or do the same with a comma or a number. When you do it this way, the keyboard immediately returns back to letters when finished. This is why it's only useful if you will be doing 1 or 2 symbols or numbers in your writing.

If I'm going to type a comma or just one or two numbers, or one or two symbols, the double-tap and hold is faster than double-tapping the more numbers button and finding what I want. However if I'm going to type a phone number, address, or something which requires more use of the screen with symbols, then I just double-tap the more numbers button like normal.

reading text file on iPhone
Dear all. What's the best way of reading a text file on your iPhone. I have a slightly longer document, about 13 pages which I have transferred using dropbox. I can read the file using dropbox but it doesn't resume reading where it stopped if I have to stop reading for some reason. I tried plain text but that was no good either. I wish IBooks could read text documents but dropbox doesn't give me option to export to ibooks. Any other app?

Re: labeling an icon
Thank you so much for reminding me. That worked like a charm. But you don't really have to do anything after holding on. The VO opens up an edit box for you to type the label. It helped me with a couple app including MSNBC which is shamelessly inaccessible. I still have an app that any British radio enthusiast would like to use. It is partially accessible. But it is inaccessible where it is required to be accessible. The app is called TheRadio. Probably the pro version will be more accessible because is without the ads. I am sticking with the free version because I am not sure if the paid version will be any different in terms of accessibility. If someone wants to try it has more than 100 radio stations from Britain including all the BBC channels. I wanted BBC 4 which I can now listen even if the app doesn't speak it when I touch it. I have to turn Voice Over off and touch the location on the screen which I have now mastered to find without using Voice Over. If douelb tap the location with VO on it opens an ad page. I am not sure how to label the icon in that situation.

Selecting Buttons to Relabeled
Hello List, In one of my apps there are 4 buttons, with 2 rows and two columns. This is the only way I can describe the layout. I relabeled the first button (top left/first row) and then all of the other buttons will have the same relabeled name When I thought I was in the next button, the name I type into that field will just add onto what was first written in the first button. How can I access the next button without adding on to the first one? Is this the fault of the app? Is there any techniques that I am missing to be able to label the buttons without changing the first label? Any suggestions to resolve this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Editing text in iPhone
Hi, first set your rotor to characters. Now, in short, if you swipe down, you are moving forward. If you swipe up, you are moving backward. Your cursor is landing between the letters. So, if you have the first 7 letters of the alphabet, abcdefg, and you swipe down until you hear c, that means your cursor is between c and d. If you double-tap delete, you will delete the letter c because you are moving forward and c is the last letter you heard. Now, again, taking abcdefg and let's say you are swiping up and the last letter you heard was b, that means your cursor is between a and b. This is because you are moving backwards and the last letter you heard was b, so this time if you press delete, the letter a will be deleted. Also, check the archives of this list as this topic was discussed recently. Maybe they will help with a better explanation. Good luck. -- Raul A.

DAPP application for IOS developers.
Hi Listers, If someone interested, I found 2 quite useful apps for IOS developers. The first one is call DAPP. This application pretty much builds the user interface for the IOS application and generates the objective-c code. It is quite nice, the Dapp allows to create the project, create project pages, lay-out on-screen views including views position and colors and assign actions on those views. Actions are pretty simple, like creating the Alert, however it is good enough to create the application template and then easily locate the action handler in the code and add whatever action is required. The DAPP application is very accessible, at least I was able to do all tasks using voiceover with no problems. Even the graphical layout builder almost accessible. However it is not necessary to use the layout builder, all controls can be added, positioned and sized with out the layout builder, in simple VoiceOver friendly dialogs. The app is not free, I believe, it is $9.99, however it is very, very useful for the blind IOS developers. It definitely does not replace the Interface Builder in XCode, however quite close to it. The app has the light version, which does everything except generating and exporting the xcode code, so at least it is possible to evaluate it before buying.. Here is the app store link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dapp/id370888555?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dapp/id370888555?mt=8ls=1 ls=1 Seller: KEROFROG PTY LTD Name: Dapp The second application is called Interface. It is quite similar with Dapp, however has more features, more views and more views actions, overall, this App is more powerful. Unfortunately application is not fully accessible. It is good enough to work with it, however was required some work-around. I have contacted the developer and got a very nice reply. The developer will look at accessibility issues, which are not that many and will try to release the updated version. However again, the app is very usable, just in some screens it requires to turn off the VoiceOver to be able to double-tap on the screen to display menus. So if someone wants to check it out, here is the information Name:Interface Developer: Less Code Ltd Unfortunately I don't have the direct link to this App, still can not figure out how to get direct links easily with iTunes for windows. Hope, it will be useful for someone. Take care! Igor. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Navigon
Hi Raul, Now that you have burst my bubble about Oregon, let me address the real issue here. The Portland maps used to be fine. Navigon was my favorite app by far. A couple updates ago, the maps began telling me that I am in Lake Jeanclia. Since their support department seems to not give a damn about that, I certainly can't recommend Navigon here in Oregon. However, who is to say that after the next update, your maps will suddenly start giving you false information? The issue isn't that the maps are fine in some areas but not others, the issue is that when they screw something up, they don't seem to care about fixing it. So, I cannot recommend a company with such awful customer service. When anyone asks about Navigon, I will point this out. Take care, Richard (Sent from my iPhone) On Jun 18, 2012, at 4:06 AM, Raul A.

Re: THINKING ABOUT A MAC!
Hi Carol, Well I use a Mac for nearly everything. THe only time I use WIndows is on a VM at work and mainly because I need to ensure 100% compatibility for Microsoft Word. If Microsoft would get its thumb out and make the Office suite accessible I might not need Windows at all. However, with that said I consider myself to be very efficient using the Mac, but then I also have a good number of years experience. Therefore, if you are willing to accept that there will be a learning curve and you are prepared to put the time in, then you will do just fine. Remember the effort it took to master the world of iOS. :) THe best thing is you can always have both with the Mac. You can run the Mac and WIndows for things that you really cannot live without. Hey you can even run Linux on that VM if yo like. :) On Jun 18, 2012, at 8:01 AM, Carol Pearson wrote: Hi all, The time is coming now to replace my current desktop and I'm thinking about a Mac.

So, if you have the first 7 letters of the alphabet, abcdefg, and you swipe down until you hear c, that means your cursor is between c and d. If you double-tap delete, you will delete the letter c because you are moving forward and c is the last letter you heard. Now, again, taking abcdefg and let's say you are swiping up and the last letter you heard was b, that means your cursor is between a and b. This is because you are moving backwards and the last letter you heard was b, so this time if you press delete, the letter a will be deleted.

Re: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?
Hi Amy, I think I would like to try the OtterBox Defender and would love it if you could send one of the screen overlays for that particular case. I just have two questions: 1. You said that the case has its own built-in screen protector. I looked online and they referred to it as a membrane that fits over the screen. I'm guessing that what that would mean is that, once you put on the SpeedDots overlay, you would, in effect, have two screen protectors. Does that affect screen sensitivity? 2. You said that your overlay doesn't peel off the OtterBox because you're not sliding your phone in and out of a shell. Instead, your phone stays in the shell all the time. I understand that, but how then does it fit into the belt clip/holster? I would imagine that the back of the phone would slide into the holster, with the screen facing out. Is that right?

Hi Suzanne, Do you know what kind of case it is that you have? What name and who makes it? I can tell you that the screen protectors that we sell to fit over the OtterBox Defender cases, are measured and then cut to fit them exactly. This works though because of the design of that case. You don't have to take your phone out in order to use it, so the screen protector can just fit over the top of the case, your phone goes inside; done. We've had other customers say similar things about the juice pack cases... If you are constantly taking your phone in and out of a case with that kind of design, it can cause your protector to peal like that, especially if it's not on straight.

Re: THINKING ABOUT A MAC!
Hi Carol , I bought a Mac back in January, and I still haven't gotten the hang of voice over. I went to the Apple store, who were not much help, and tried to find tutorial videos but not much is out there. I guess my problems stem from me going back and forth between Zoom and voice over, something I do all the time on my PC. I do have some vision, so I only want to use the screen reader for a few things. I can not find the proper settings to run it like I run my PC. Perhaps they do not exist. I run both Mac and PC through the same monitor using a VGA A B switch. I am currently on a PC with Zoom Text, which never fails to disappoint me. As said above, there is a learning curve, it does not seem as intuitive as the iPhone.

So, if you have the first 7 letters of the alphabet, abcdefg, and you swipe down until you hear c, that means your cursor is between c and d. If you double-tap delete, you will delete the letter c because you are moving forward and c is the last letter you heard. Now, again, taking abcdefg and let's say you are swiping up and the last letter you heard was b, that means your cursor is between a and b. This is because you are moving backwards and the last letter you heard was b, so this time if you press delete, the letter a will be deleted.

Re: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?
Hi, I have used the Otter Box Defender case with the iPhone 4S and the Speed Dots protector. I don't have problems with the sensitivity of the screen considering there are two protectors. However I'm going away from the defender case right now, and it doesn't have to do with the speed dots protector at all. All in all, I find the Otter Box Defender cases very well done for the most part and do recommend them to people, but as Amy states, each person has their own preferences on cases, screen protectors, sensitivity, ETC. -- Raul A.

Yes, in general whether you're blind and using a tactile overlay, or sighted and simply want/need to have your phone in an Otterbox Defender case, screen sensitivity is an issue. If you go onto Amazon and read reviews of the Otterbox Defender cases, you'll see many folks complaining about the fact that the built-in screen protector that's part of the OtterBox case alone, impacts screen sensitivity. Any distance from the phone screen itself, is going to effect the overall sensitivity when it comes to screen contact. That being said, we sell a lot of the Otterbox screen protectors, so it doesn't appear to be anything that's a deal breaker for most. It might be helpful for you if someone on this list who uses the Defender with our screen protector can weigh in on this discussion to give you a bit more info about overall screen sensitivity and how they feel it does or does not impact their use of the phone. I only can speak for what our customers say and how many we sell. I prefer not to use that particular case because if I must have bulk on my phone, I want it to mean something; so I either use a case that will extend my battery life, or if I want something more low profile, I'll use the Otterbox Impact which does not require a special cut protector and does not enclose my phone. It's personal preference really. As far as sliding the phone into the belt clip, it's like a holster. You can put your phone inside its shell in one of two ways; either slide it into the clip with the screen side facing out or in. Facing inward, once snapped in place, the phone is completely enclosed and the screen isn't exposed; so you'd need to slide the belt clip off to use the phone. With the screen facing out, of course, if you've got it that way and you're running around with it on your belt or something and you run through the bushes, your protector could scratch. I've seen folks carry it both ways. That again is a preference thing from what I've noticed. I'm emailing you off list about the specifics of replacing your screen protector, because I have some additional questions for you and do not want to clutter the list unnecessarily.

Hi Amy, I think I would like to try the OtterBox Defender and would love it if you could send one of the screen overlays for that particular case. I just have two questions: 1. You said that the case has its own built-in screen protector. I looked online and they referred to it as a membrane that fits over the screen. I'm guessing that what that would mean is that, once you put on the SpeedDots overlay, you would, in effect, have two screen protectors. Does that affect screen sensitivity? 2. You said that your overlay doesn't peel off the OtterBox because you're not sliding your phone in and out of a shell. Instead, your phone stays in the shell all the time. I understand that, but how then does it fit into the belt clip/holster? I would imagine that the back of the phone would slide into the holster, with the screen facing out. Is that right?

Re: Editing text in iPhone
Further to Jennie's explanation, if you're in a text editor like draftpad and you want to select the entire text you've just typed, there is a select all option on the edit menu of the roter. Just double tap select all then flick to copy and double tap. The phone will say something like text copied. You can then go to another app and paste the text you've copied. I'm not very practiced at the pinch gesture so this is what I do when I want to copy text from one place to another.

Re: Editing text in iPhone
Jenny, you first must be in and edit field. You will want to choose character word or line. Then place your index and middle fingers in the middle of the screen. To select a character, word or line, spread your fingers slowly apart. If you are selecting by line, you will hear all of the line spoken or maybe just the last few words. You will lift your fingers, put them together and put them back on the screen and spread them apart again to select more lines. Some people have found other maneuvers to accomplish this, such as putting both for fingers on the screen and pulling them apart. I have not had luck with that method. If you find that you have selected a line too many, you can simply squeeze your fingers back together to unselect that character, word or line. Once you think you have selected all necessary, then use the rotor to get to edit and flip your finger up or down to select copy or cut, etc. Hope this helps some. It does take some practice and some frustration, too. Eric Telephone: (614)522-9725 Skype: sseric57 On Jun 18, 2012, at 2:46 PM, Tara Prakash taraprak...@gmail.com wrote: Okay thanks.

Re: THINKING ABOUT A MAC!
I haven't done this myself, but I looked into it a while ago. You can use a program like Bootcamp to dual boot between Windows and OSX. When you boot up in Windows, you'll have to use a Windows screen reader. You can also use a program like Fusion to run Windows in a virtual machine. Again, you'll have to use VO when working in OSC and a Windows screen reader when working in Windows. I'm not a moderator, but it seems like this is a bit off topic for this list. I'm also thinking there are Mac lists for the blind where this would be on topic and you might get more information.

You can then use it anywhere in the world you have phone signal. This method even works with VOIP dialling services. Examples: The country code is +1 in the US, so the number in contacts would be +1551212 which the phone will then display as +1--555-1212. I live in NZ with country code +64.

Hi all. Just to be clear, the discussions on this list are for iOS related topics. Choosing a Mac isn't really fully on topic even though they are by the same company. However I also understand there can be some bleed over or some grey areas due to the sister list which I believe Cara also helps to run. The list is MacVisionaries and you can definitely get a lot of help there concerning choosing a Mac. The list web address is below. http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries Thanks. -- Raul A.

I don't have any problems myself with someone making initial inquiries like this on this list since I know there are some very knowledgeably people on this list and I know people don't want to subscribe to another list just to ask a question or two. Once it gets kind of involved though, it seems to me like another list might be more appropriate, but again, that's really up to the moderators. If you're understanding of the list is different than mine then please don't stop posting on this topic just because of my opinion. Let the moderators be the judge of that.

I haven't done this myself, but I looked into it a while ago. You can use a program like Bootcamp to dual boot between Windows and OSX. When you boot up in Windows, you'll have to use a Windows screen reader. You can also use a program like Fusion to run Windows in a virtual machine. Again, you'll have to use VO when working in OSC and a Windows screen reader when working in Windows. I'm not a moderator, but it seems like this is a bit off topic for this list. I'm also thinking there are Mac lists for the blind where this would be on topic and you might get more information.

Hi Carol, Well I use a Mac for nearly everything. THe only time I use WIndows is on a VM at work and mainly because I need to ensure 100% compatibility for Microsoft Word. If Microsoft would get its thumb out and make the Office suite accessible I might not need Windows at all. However, with that said I consider myself to be very efficient using the Mac, but then I also have a good number of years experience. Therefore, if you are willing to accept that there will be a learning curve and you are prepared to put the time in, then you will do just fine. Remember the effort it took to master the world of iOS. :) THe best thing is you can always have both with the Mac. You can run the Mac and WIndows for things that you really cannot live without. Hey you can even run Linux on that VM if yo like. :) On Jun 18, 2012, at 8:01 AM, Carol Pearson wrote: Hi all, The time is coming now to replace my current desktop and I'm thinking about a Mac.

I remember seeing this function in a previous version of Google, but it appears that they have updated the page making it much less friendly for a user of Jaws.

Hi: Macs are definitely accessible. I use text edit, pages, and numbers for word processing and spreadsheets. Go to www.blindcooltech.com and listen to all the podcasts by Mike Arrigo. Just make sure you have everything transferred to your new Mac, and have your phone backed up to iCloud. You'll have to resync your phone with the Mac. It is easy to do.

Re: THINKING ABOUT A MAC!

Do you use VO when under Windows, or have to use Windows capable speech? Thanks for everyone's answers so far. I am reading with interest. Sorry for the questions but I am genuinely interested and need to buy within the next few months, I would think.

Hi Carol, Well I use a Mac for nearly everything. THe only time I use WIndows is on a VM at work and mainly because I need to ensure 100% compatibility for Microsoft Word. If Microsoft would get its thumb out and make the Office suite accessible I might not need Windows at all. However, with that said I consider myself to be very efficient using the Mac, but then I also have a good number of years experience. Therefore, if you are willing to accept that there will be a learning curve and you are prepared to put the time in, then you will do just fine. Remember the effort it took to master the world of iOS. :) THe best thing is you can always have both with the Mac. You can run the Mac and WIndows for things that you really cannot live without. Hey you can even run Linux on that VM if yo like. :) On Jun 18, 2012, at 8:01 AM, Carol Pearson wrote: Hi all, The time is coming now to replace my current desktop and I'm thinking about a Mac.

Re: temporarily stopping posts
I'm using the new Google Groups interface. If I go to http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en which is the link I find at the bottom of each message, I have a My Membership button just above the list of group messages. If I click on this button then I have the option to go web only. Note I need to log onto the account I used to subscribe to this mailing list before I see the My Membership button.
