iTunes WIFISync
The short question is, a am syncing my phone with my PC but my bookmarks from Internet Explorer are no longer syncing. Below is what I have tried to do. I think I am syncing my phone to my PC but not everything I want to sync is doing so.. I have carefully gone through all of the choices on the iPhone, checking and unchecking radio buttons for what I do and don't want synced. I have Summary unchecked and then sevral items after that checked, including Information. In the syncing settings on my PC I get the following message: your bookmarks are being synced with your iPhone over the air with iClouds. Under iPhone WIFI Sync on my phone I get the following message: Owner HP: Apps, Podcasts and tones. No mention of bookmarks. These messages seem contradictory. What am I missing? Back to the messages on the PC. What about the message that says, Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone. Is that referring to syncing with my pc or with iClouds? I should have said that to enable this syncing with my PC, I currently have iCloud syncing off; I am aware that this needs to be off to enable syncing with the PC. So if you've got this far in this convoluted message, congratulations! Now what am I doiong wrong? Sandy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: notifications and speak selections confusion
Hello Paul and all first of all make sure any or all notifications have the view in lock screen setting turned on. Most of them are by default. You can check by going to Settings, Notifications and by double tapping on an app whose notifications are set. As for your second question, first of all speak selection is in the main accessibility section of Settings, and not in VoiceOver itself. I have this turned off personally but this may be useful for low vision users who need a bit of voice guidance when selecting text. For reference you can do the same with the speak autocorrect setting. Chris.

Re: Feed-back re the StandScan Pro? Successes/failures?
Sieghard, From what I have read, I am not sure if the StanScan can exactly be compared with the KNFB Reader in terms of portability. I would be glad to be corrected, but the StanScan Pro can't exactly be ported in your pocket. You must carry an extra appendage with you in the form of a small bag or purse which belies portability in the first place. True, the KNFB solution was a thousand dollars but it was the portability solution you could take to a restaurant reasonable with this bag or purse. Again, I would be happy to be corrected on my assertion, but this is the way I have read this debate thus far.

A little bonus with Text Grabber.
Hallo, It is worth mentioning that if you turn flash on, when using Text Grabber, especially, in conjunction with the StandScan Pro, you can almost use it without the lights provided with the box. Obviously, the 12 volts obtainable with the mains adaptor or the larger battery power supplier, will give the very best results, but, if one finds oneself unable to avail of that lighting, it is worth using the flash facility of the Text Grabber App. Beware, when you turn this on, the flash light stays on until you have finished scanning, so, if you left the app running without scanning, you would seriously deplete your battery and, possibly, shorten your flash light life. The button to toggle the flash on/off is found at the top of the scanning screen, just before settings. Happy snapping! Sandy.

As Sherry pointed out, after you press the Start menu in Windows 7 arrow right once, then arrow down and you should find your Documents folder, Music Folder, Pictures folder etc. I think by default they all show up, you can hide them in that list, but unless you specifically do so they should be there. If you use the default settings when you installed iTunes, the iTunes folder also will always be in the Music folder. There really is no difference between the folder and file structure in Windows 7 and Windows XP except that in Windows 7 usually the music folder is called Music and in Windows XP it was My Music. Same goes for Documents/My Documents and Pictures/My Pictures. Remember, all these folders are stored in c:\users\Rose (assuming your Windows user name is Rose. If you simply press the Start Key and type c: and then press enter, you can then type u for users, r for Rose and this is another way to get to your personal folders.

When you mentioned emailing the ringtones to yourself, are you meaning on the regular PC or everything from the iPhone? It is my understanding in order for ringtones to be added successfully, they need to be done via iTunes on the computer. Although, there is a way to do it from the iPhone since you can purchase ring tones from the iTunes app in the iPhone itself. I have never done this since I have never purchased music or tones from iTunes. So I admit that I do not have much experience with this. I always make my own ring tones or get them from an app like the one I suggested. On Mar 16, 2013, at 3:52 PM, Sherrie nanagoose4...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for this heads up.

buying ringtones
Thanks to Raul and I think Sieghard, I bought a few ring tones for my phone, but I was disappointed that I couldn't find the ones I really wanted. One is the original ATT ring tone, at least it is the one I think is from ATT that I've heard for years; I wish I knew it's name; next time I find some one that has that tone I'm going to ask if they know its name. I like it because it builds up as it continues ringing. I don't know how else to describe it. But I was wondering, if anybody knew where you can find TV Theme song ring tones. I didn't see that listed in the two places I looked. I know they have to be around, but where can you find them?

Another observation with Text Grabber.
Hi agin, Sorry if there is too much info, but I am keeping the name Text Grabber in the subject line so you can always skip it if not interested. Something I have noticed over time is that most of the OCR apps won't recognise white text on black backgrounds. In other words, reversed colouring from the norm. plus, the presence of other colours/patterns etc, give these app serious jip! So, when trying to get some info from a CD cover, where the writing was white on black, I tried the recognition with the phone's system set to invert colours and got some, not perfect, but usable results. I shall play with this a little more, and it may well be that for anyone who wouldn't be using the 'invert colours' option, it will be of little use, but if you do have it set as an option in the triple click home, as do I, then maybe it is worth tryiing if you come across a difficult, inverted bit of text. Ah! I should say that this doesn't seem to work for Prizmo! Thanks for the indulgence, Sandy. Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Making Videos with iPhone 5?
Hello Lisa and all: Congratulations on taking your first video. I am sure you are thrilled :). nothing like a sense of accomplishment. As has already been pointed out, landscape provides a wider viewpoint. However, portrait may produce better results indoors or when you have a large amount of light. If you can separate yourself from $0.00 you might want to pick up the light detector app. then you can play around with your camera in relation to the light you have in which to take pictures and video.

Re: Making Videos with iPhone 5?
Hello Fred and all: Unfortunately, your question does not have a simple answer because light level is not the only aspect of light which determines a quality picture or photo. Type of light, color of light, and the surroundings play a part. The premise behind my response to Lisa was that she … as anyone else … will have some familiarity with both their surroundings and the subjects they are working with. If for example, I am wanting to take a picture or video of my sister in my upstairs hallway, there is no natural light. It is all artificial light. Now, if she is waring a lighter color which she tends to do ;) the light level may need to be lower or else she will wash out. Same person, same picture or video done outside may require a different level of light to produce a particular outcome. Shortest answer that can be provided without a minor physics lesson which may be beyond the scope of this list and we have not even begun to throw distance into the mix :). If you are looking for a rule of thumb … the light level behind the object is the one worth monitoring ;). try to catch the cat as she is passing in front of the lamp :). works like a charm. Take good care and I wish you enough. Patrick On Mar 19, 2013, at 9:04 AM, Fred Olver goodfo...@charter.net wrote: I'm curious to know what level of light is necessary to make a video?

Hey guys OK, hoping some of you can help me with this. I use the twitter app and am having a very annoying problem. When I am on the phone on a call, and I get a tweet from twitter, voiceover starts babbling the tweet. Needless to say this is very annoying. That's why I have a specific sound for when I get new tweets. I don't need voiceover babbling it especially when I'm on a call. Any ideas?

Re: Accessible-iOS Switching apps on iPad 3
Hello, The gesture to switch apps is a 4 finger swipe to the left or, to the right. A finger swipe up opens the app switcher. A 5 finger pinch brings you to the home screen. In regards to which is easier? I think this depends on how many apps you have open, or, if you don't remember exactly what you happen to have open. So in short, it really depends on the task, which method will prove more efficient. Oddly enough, I turned this feature off in settings the first day I got my iPad because, with it on, the Voiceover 4 finger tap on the top or bottom of the screen, to move you to the top or bottom of a page doesn't work. And finally, no. These gestures we're talking about are not available on the iPhone or, iPad touch. Just the iPad. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Mar 18, 2013, at 9:18 PM, Shane clark hshanecl...@gmail.com wrote: Hi I have 3 apps open on my iPad.

It seems as if when switching, it goes from the Dish app, to the app switcher, but I'm having trouble getting to the third app. My questions are: which way do I swipe across the screen? Do I go from top to bottom or across the screen when the app is in landscape mode? Can you do this gesture on the iPhone too?

Re: Providers/carriers in Thailand
Hello Sieghard and all: You can get a sim at the airport from true. Calls and data. Around $20. Then load cash on. True has a decent website with live chat to get help now. True is right outside luggage/customs. I lost my SIM card last year when overseas and they had a replacement ready when I got to the airport. If you will be outside if main tourist areas then go with ais as the provider as they have better coverage in rural areas. About the same price. Ais is at the airport but one level down from luggage. Hopefully this proves useful to you. Take good care and I wish you enough.

zello tips (have i been spoiled by google?)
Last night, I downloaded the zello app! Its quite a nice app. I found a couple iPhone channels and talked for a while...but, there's one thing that is awesomely confusing! OK, I truly hate to gripe...but i believe this is past the point of constructive criticism...or has google just spoiled me? First off, someone mentioned a channel called texas school for the blind students. OK, let's try to find it! A keyword search for texas school blind students pulled up nothing? Although the website seems to be more forgiving as to keywords, its still rather terible. Yeah, I can search for keyword blind and see a ton of results...but with no sort features...sort by highest active users? I also saw channel categories within the app, but no reference to them on the zello channels website...no category browsing? seriously? Please, fellow viPhoners tell me i'm missing something...because right now, i'm seeing this search functioning and just shaking my head at it. A few side notes: I usually don't mind trying several different methods to make something work, or finding work-arounds for inaccessible websites...stuff like that. ITs usually pretty fun to do. I'm not the usual average tech person who gets stuck and calls support when one small thing is wrong..so i've tried many solutions to no avail...do you guys have any suggestions at all for improving the zello search experience?

Re: buying ringtones
Patti, iTunes’ selection of TV ringtones is somewhat limited; do a search for what you want and go through by headings if looking on the phone and flick right when you hear tones or ringtones.

One is the original ATT ring tone, at least it is the one I think is from ATT that I've heard for years; I wish I knew it's name; next time I find some one that has that tone I'm going to ask if they know its name. I like it because it builds up as it continues ringing. I don't know how else to describe it. But I was wondering, if anybody knew where you can find TV Theme song ring tones.

Re: notifications and speak selections confusion
Chris, when I do what you said in the first question, it lists badges, sounds, alerts, etc. It says nothing about the lock screen. Second, that setting discussed before is in the voiceover section of settings under accessibility; however, that, itself, is not important. Is it just for telling you that you have selected text to cut and paste, etc.?

One is the original ATT ring tone, at least it is the one I think is from ATT that I've heard for years; I wish I knew it's name; next time I find some one that has that tone I'm going to ask if they know its name. I like it because it builds up as it continues ringing. I don't know how else to describe it. But I was wondering, if anybody knew where you can find TV Theme song ring tones. I didn't see that listed in the two places I looked. I know they have to be around, but where can you find them?

Weird problems with rotor – can anyone help
I wonder if anyone has ever seen the following. First, I should explain, you would need to have most items that are possible on your rotor setting, so that you can use them by turning the rotor. Second, you need to be using BrailleTouch. If you Can replicate this situation, I'd be interested in any findings. I am getting rather inconsistent results but sufficient to make me think that something is wrong. When sending email, first thing in the subject line with BrailleTouch and then writing the email, once I go back to the email to put in the persons address I find that my rotor setting will not work or well, almost always doesn't work! The other thing that happens quite frequently is that when I am pasting text from clipboard, How ever careful I may be, I find that the text has been repeated. I am most interested to know if anyone can reproduce these problems on 4S. Thanks for any help -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

WordCord Given the Voiceover Treatment
Hi Folks, it would appear that our requests have been answered by the developers of WordCord. An update was released last night with specific mention of upgraded Voiceover support being better than ever. I have indeed confirmed this, and the previous bugs i mentioned regarding Voiceover have been fixed, such as the hint button, when pressed, now gives you a message letting you know which letter you should change in the next move. So, if you're unsure of your next move in the game, double tapping this button now notifies you of which letter to change, though not what letter to place in it's place. From what I've seen thus far, the four letter puzzles are now fully accessible, all elements are labeled correctly, including the words themselves, and there doesn't seem to be any Voiceover barriers. That's another game for our team in the race for equality. LOL.

Re: Feed-back re the StandScan Pro? Successes/failures?

So this means that which ever document you have loaded in the app, it uses data to send the document to the net and then the TTS voice reads it to you. So, this is a bit like streaming. I don't know how much data it uses up with this method, but I don't see it as being a viable source of reading text files. I also think it only supports txt files, but I could be wrong on this point.

Re: Making Videos with iPhone 5?
Hi, Patrick. I have the light detector app on my phone and have been using it successfully for several weeks. It's actually one of the first apps I installed. I honestly didn't think about using it before doing the video because I was in my living room, and I have two large windows facing due west, and it was around noon on a bright sunny day, so I knew there was plenty of light coming in. I actually enjoy the light detector for the noises it makes. I can point the phone at my floor, which is covered in light grey carpet and tell when my black Lab walks under the phone because of how the tones decrease in pitch as she moves past. My next test is to try something smaller like a flashing LED.

As has already been pointed out, landscape provides a wider viewpoint. However, portrait may produce better results indoors or when you have a large amount of light. If you can separate yourself from $0.00 you might want to pick up the light detector app. then you can play around with your camera in relation to the light you have in which to take pictures and video.

Re: Syncing Ring Tones Help
Hi, suzanne, If you don't have iTunes organize your media for you, but rather just tell it to reference files, in other words, make a shortcut to them, you can hit enter on each of the filenames. ITunes will display a dialogue telling you that it couldn't find the file's location. You will see a button in this dialogue to locate the file again. Press this button, and a standard file dialogue thing will come up. Navigate to where the file resides on your drive, and press enter on it. It should start playing in iTunes. Another dialogue will come up asking you if you would like iTunes to try and find other missing files in your library based on the location you just told it about, i.e., the location of the ringtone you just told it about again. You can press either yes or no. I usually press yes. Sometimes it will actually find things. If it doesn't, repeat the process again until iTunes knows where all your missing files are once more. I do wish there was an easy way to have iTunes display all the files that it doesn't have links to in a single list. This would make my life so much easier, as I some sometimes have moved files around to better organize my library on my computer. Note: this missing links thing will also happen if you rename a file, as that is still changing the filepath. I hope that this makes sense.

Unfortunately, when I went to add some new ones, I lost everything that had already been on the phone. The tones still show up in my list of available tones. I go into the device list, select my iPhone, and then tab through until I get to tones, which I check. Further tabbing takes me to a “sync tones” check box. If I check it, iTunes says “Are you sure you do not want to sync tones? All existing tones on the phone Suzanne’s iPhone will be removed.” I have the choice of either a remove or a cancel button. Since I have nothing to lose at this point, I have tried checking the remove button and syncing. Needless to say, nothing happens, as everything is already wiped clean. After that, I repeat the same procedure. This time, the phone lets me check the “sync tones” box and I don’t get that message. I then keep tabbing to select all tones and make sure that they are checked; then I press the sync button. In this case, iTunes gets stuck on the first step of syncing and I get a message that the sync has failed. A search of the list archives wasn’t terribly helpful. Is there any kind soul who could help me figure this out? I would be eternally grateful. Suzanne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard question - Was Re: Question to Raul
Raul, I have a question about the Amazon basics Bluetooth keyboard sense I ordered mine. It won't be here until Monday because I chose free super saver shipping. What I'd like to know is, when the keyboard is connected to my iPhone, will I still have the screen active as well? In other words, if I touch the screen of my iPhone will I still hear voice over? I'm sure I'll get the hang of the keyboard after a bit but wile I'm learning it it would be nice too if I can also open let's say email via the phone and use the keyboard just to type in text in an email message. My reason for buying it was so that I can do email wile traveling. Thanks for this great little keyboard recommendation.

It also has one of the best cameras, not necessarily in Megapixels, but it has been proven many times that pictures taken with an iPhone 4S or iPhone 5 are better than those taken with another phone which has a camera with a higher Megapixel sensor. This is because just the sensor isn't responsible, it also the quality of the lens and the way the image is processed. For a visually impaired person, the iPhone has by far the best accessibility. Android accessibility is definitely better now than it was a year or 2 ago, but while iPhone accessibility is being improved as well, the iPhone was just as accessible 3 years ago already as it is now. Because Apple has such control over both hardware, the iOS platform and the app store, everything just works. Of course there are bugs as well, but Apple's commitment to accessibility is probably stronger than Google's and while Google seems to improve accessibility as well, the many differences in the hardware from so many manufacturers and the stuff they do with Android to customize it to their liking simply makes it more difficult. In total there are many more games on the iOS side than the Android side. iDevices are the biggest mobile gaming platform and you can listen to last week's Today in iOS Podcast which you can find at www.TodayInIOS.com if you want to hear more on that topic. The iPhone may not have as many cool and cutting edge features as Android nowadays since Apple takes a more conservative approach, but keep in mind that it was because of Apple's integration of SIRI into iOS and the iPhone 4S why nowadays Android and other platforms are also doing this. When SIRI first came out some tech pundits laughed it off as a gimmick just as many thought the iPhone itself when it was first released in 2007 was a temporary phenomena and fad which people would soon put aside and forget about. Android may have happened anyways, but to a large degree Android came about because of the iPhone and because of the vision Steve Jobbs had. Whether you buy an iPhone or not is entirely up to you, it's not up to me or anybody else to convince you beyond pointing out the facts, but if you do your homework you will probably come to the conclusion that unless you reject the concept of the iPhone and maybe Apple as a whole for whatever reason, the iPhone is the best choice if a blind person wants the most accessible smartphone. If you don't mind fiddling around and going through a lot of frustration then an Android phone maybe right for you, but if you don't like Apple's control you can always Jailbreak the iPhone which gives you a lot more flexibility as to what you can do with it. Beyond that I would encourage you to search the list archives if you have questions first as after years of list traffic just about everything you can think of has been discussed on here and, as I already said, the Today in iOS podcast is one of the best sources for information about the iPhone and the iOS platform.

Well I'm watching my Dish app which is in landscape mode, the other app is in portrait mode, the third in landscape also. It seems as if when switching, it goes from the Dish app, to the app switcher, but I'm having trouble getting to the third app. My questions are: which way do I swipe across the screen? Do I go from top to bottom or across the screen when the app is in landscape mode? Can you do this gesture on the iPhone too? And finally, is it just easier to use the app switcher to switch between apps verses this gesture? Thanks.

Re: Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard question - Was Re: Question to Raul
Funny you mentioning your netbook. When I'm traveling in the motor home I take both my laptop and my netbook. The laptop has a battery life of over 12 hours so it's good to watch a movie or two when we're not plugged into shore power and I use the netbook to read and reply to email. After listening to your podcast about the keyboard I thought wow, this might just let me leave the netbook at home. Do you have any idea of how long the 2 batteries last? I know my only other experience with a wireless keyboard was with a infrared keyboard and the batteries lasted forever. - Original Message - From: Raul A.

I looked at the case for it from Amazon and wasn't personally impressed. Of course it's totally subjective and so don't take my word for it. What I did was get a Targus gadget bag which is about 10 inches from left to right and it holds my keyboard, my extra battery pack, various cables, headphones, and anything else which is on the smaller side. Then when I travel I just put the keyboard in that and it fits just fine along with the New Trent battery packs, their cables, my Bluetooth headphones, and a couple of USB sticks and USB cables. Basically the nerd things I would need on a job or personal trip. I don't even take my netook any more, which used to be my default portable solution. -- Raul A.

I purchased this keyboard on the basis of Raul's awesome demo. The price was also a contributing factor. It was under $30 and eligible for that ever popular Super Saver Shipping. Thanks to the demo, I was able to pair the keyboard with my iPhone completely solo, and I'm a totally blind tech dork. The only difference between my experience and the demo was that I had to install the batteries myself. Otherwise, I'm very happy with my purchase. This keyboard is small, but the keys are large enough for someone with big hands, there's a raised dot on the F and J keys, as well as dots on the up and down arrow keys. There are also media control keys, as well as a volume key at the top of the keyboard. You can turn on voice over help once the keyboard is paired and learn the layout that way, though only the top row are different from a conventional keyboard.

Hi Richard, Out of curiosity, did you set the recognition language for TextGrabber to English under settings before you ran your scan? This option is at the start of the Settings screen. Just a first thought based on my experience with using OCR programs in multiple languages. And even with Prizmo I usually set the recognition language if I want to get better results for languages that use accented characters, like French. Otherwise, characters like e with an acute accent tend to be identified as the number 6. HTH.

Re: texting app for iPod touch
Yes, you'd go to voice.google.com and request a phone number. Once you have this number, you can use the Google Voice app or the web page to send a text from your Google Voice number to any number that can receive a text message.

Re: Prizmo VS TextGrabber with the StandScan Pro using 12 volt AC
Hi Richard, Don't give up on TG yet! You have to have all your settings right. So, as Esther says: the right recognition language (by the way, i had mine inadvertently set to Italian so I too got some strange sounding results for a while there). No cropping and, a suggestion, don't save images. Text Grabber is only my favourite when using the standScan Pro, I have very little success with it free-hand. But the marriage of the box with TG is, I think, one made in heaven! Also, it isn't just a matter of which is the best, but rather that of having options should one or other of them decide to become unfriendly to VO.

I'm sure I'll get the hang of the keyboard after a bit but wile I'm learning it it would be nice too if I can also open let's say email via the phone and use the keyboard just to type in text in an email message. My reason for buying it was so that I can do email wile traveling. Thanks for this great little keyboard recommendation.

So this means that which ever document you have loaded in the app, it uses data to send the document to the net and then the TTS voice reads it to you. So, this is a bit like streaming. I don't know how much data it uses up with this method, but I don't see it as being a viable source of reading text files. I also think it only supports txt files, but I could be wrong on this point. I would still choose to use Voice Dream Reader since it offers much more features and it doesn't use a cloud-based TTS to get you that higher quality voice. -- Raul A.

Re: Feed-back re the StandScan Pro? Successes/failures?
I have a KNFB reader Mobile. It is on a Nokia N82 Cymbian phone. It is smaller than the iPhone. I just did a comparison between Prizmo on an iPhone 5, an iPod Touch 5th Generation and the KNFB Reader Mobile. The KNFB Reader Mobile came in third for accuracy. However, it does give more feedback about the position of the document, whether all the edges are visible etc. But, at this point, the iPhone or Touch with Prizmo is a better solution. Unless someone wants to more easily be able to multi-page documents. Of course, a less accurate multi-page document doesn't interest me in the least. The KNFB Reader Mobile actually belongs to the agency where I work, I did not buy it.

Re: Prizmo VS TextGrabber with the StandScan Pro using 12 volt AC
OK, I did not set the recognition language first. I personally don't want to use an app that doesn't remember my settings. The paper was square, etc. Also, you can use line, word or character navigation in Prizmo just fine, which I think Sandy had mentioned as an advantage for TextGrabber, but I have no trouble doing that with Prizmo. The test was done with the iPhone 5, but I only have my personal Email accounts on my touch so I copied the text from Dropbox where I had saved the file after merging the results in MS Word on the computer. I will give TextGrabber another try once I've set it to English, but like I say, for me personally, I'd rather not have to keep resetting things because it doesn't know how to default to the language of the device being used.

Re: notifications and speak selections confusion
Sorry Paul, speak selected text is in accessibility, not VoiceOver. This is actually quite important. Speak selected text is for people who are not running VoiceOver. When speak selected text is turned on, the iOS device speaks the text which a sighted user has highlighted. Recently, a sighted friend demonstrated this to me. He opened his iBooks, opened a book, highlighted a large section of the book, and his iPhone started reading the book to him. He does this every day on his way to and from work. Note: in general, sighted people never open VoiceOver in accessibility. When they attempt to, a warning pops up stating VoiceOver will change how gestures work. So, features that are outside the VoiceOver section under accessibility are for more than just blind users. Speak in lock screen tells VO that it is acceptable to provide a spoken alert when the screen is locked. Notifications allows you to select the alert type you prefer for each app. Badges places an announcement next to the icon, such as so many new items. Banners pops up a small banner across the top of the screen with an announcement from an app. I have messages set to banners, so a text message appears briefly across the top of my iPhone and is immediately read by VO. The banner disappears after a few seconds. Alerts opens a pop-up window with the alert in it. You must interact with something to close the window. For instance, my phone alerts when there is an incoming call. I choose answer or ignore. If I choose answer, the phone screen pops up and the phone is answered. If I choose ignore, the screen returns to where I was. You can select your choice from what the app makes available in settings, notifications.

TextGrabber, final word
OK, I thought from Esther and Sandy's comments about the language that I would have to select the language each time. I just checked my settings and English was selected. So, the test I did with Prizmo and TextGrabber that showed Prizmo being more accurate was done with TextGrabber already set to English. I'm glad others have different apps they like, but for my use, I'm sticking with Prizmo. For me, I get the best results with it.

Re: TextGrabber, final word
Hi Richard, Thanks for checking on TextGrabber and reporting back. You're correct that you don't have to change the language setting for TextGrabber before each use, but you should set it up before first use. I don't have any particular reason for promoting TextGrabber over Prizmo, since I have both apps. I also don't have a StandScan Pro yet. My hypothesis that TextGrabber might work better in this setting is based on tests that I've done with various OCR apps on screen capture images. These take the question of alignment out of the picture. If text that is printed on a page or scanned is not aligned with the edges of the page, then Prizmo will do a better job. However, if you are within the alignment tolerances of TextGrabber, it will do a better job and work faster. As both you and Sandy have said, it's good to have options. The other thing is that I do read/speak languages that Prizmo doesn't support, but which are options for TextGrabber, so I'll use both. Also, as a side note to Sandy, who asked about the translation option, in addition to using Google translation, which is also an option for Prizmo, and which requires an internet connection to work, TextGrabber can do local word-by-word translation using the Lingvo dictionaries that are another ABBYY product. I would wait until this app is discounted to $0.99, which is when I bought it. (Right now it's up at $5.99, but it was $4.99 a few days earlier) Basically this is a set of dictionary languages that can be used either separately or together with the translation part of TextGrabber. The basic app comes with a set of 10 dictionaries for English that work to translate between English and German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and Portugese; along with German, Spanish, Chinese, and Italian to English. You can buy additional dictionary packs for other languages or specialized subjects like Business Management, Law, or Medical usage, via in-app purchases. I haven't really played with this, but this is set up by buying the ABBYY Lingvo Dictionary app, and then turning on the switch for Dictionary under the Linked App heading of the Settings menu. You can read more about the TextGrabber feature options from the app's support pages at: http://www.abbyy.com/textgrabber_ios/features/ HTH.

Re: Feed-back re the StandScan Pro? Successes/failures?
Oh, but you don't need to use the StandScan to use the OCR. The StandScan just does everything you need to get the best image for OCR. I have been using Prizmo to read my mail for the past couple years, and I just ordered a StandScan yesterday. Where the KNFB Reader helped was in the blindness specific features to help a person take a good picture for OCR. These features included a tilt function for Nokia Phones which supported it (this function used a tone to help you make sure your Nokia was flat vertically); a feature that would take a picture and assess it for alignment rather than OCR, and a delay after pressing the take picture button to wait until after the initial shake caused by pressing the button. I had a Nokia with KNFB Reader for a previous job before I acquired my iPhone and Prizmo. In all honesty, I get better OCR from Prizmo than I got from KNFB. However, KNFB was more forgiving of image taking errors, and it gave hints as to steps that could be taken to correct the errors. I learned on KNFB, and transferred my knowledge to Prizmo.

Re: Feed-back re the StandScan Pro? Successes/failures?
Correct, KNFB Reader became software on certain Nokia phones running Symbian OS. Nokia no longer manufactures Symbian phones, and Symbian OS has been retired. Within a couple more years, Symbian phones will disappear considering the average and general lifespan of a mobile phone. As some people are very good about protecting their mobiles, it will probably be five more years before Symbians are completely gone.

Re: Prizmo VS TextGrabber with the StandScan Pro using 12 volt AC
Richard, I would check the alignment of your iPhone against the edge of the box. Those look like skew errors for Text Grabber. Text Grabber is almost not at all forgiving for skew whilst Prizmo gives some skew forgiveness. Note: skew is tilt of text off the 90 degrees horizontal and vertical plain.

Prizmo podcast recommendations?
Hi all! With all the recent talk about the various options that are now available for OCR on the iPhone, I thought I would give it another go. I purchased Prizmo today, and while I can stumble through it and use it fine, I am wondering if there are any podcasts out there on Prizmo that might help me use it a little more effectively. I also put an order for a StandScan, which has my interest peaked for sure. I readily found a podcast for the StandScan and have already listened to it, but there are simply too many resources out there for me to sift through for one specifically on Prizmo. I tried doing a search in iBlinkRadio, but didn't find anything. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard available in Canada?
Hi Mich, If you try to order through Amazon.com and it says it can't be shipped to your address that means they are not allowed to ship to Canada. You could still order it, but you would have to know somebody in the States where you could have it sent and they would then have to be willing to mail it to you privately. You can, of course, search on Amazon.ca for that keyboard, if they list it you can buy it from Amazon.ca without any issues, if they don't list it then the above is your only choice. I just went through this with a Panasonic cordless phone which I wanted to order for my parents. I found it on Amazon.ca, but it was $171 and I found a seller on Amazon.com who sells it for $62. This is a great example of country pricing where the exact same model number is almost 3 times as expensive here as it is in the States. Fortunately I have a friend in Vancouver who lives near the border and he has a postal address in the States. I had the phone sent to him and he brought it across. I still have to pay our 12% sales tax which I have no problem with, but even by the time I add it all up this still saves me approx. $100. I have no idea why some products are so expensive here, there is just no good explanation other than that somebody makes a lot of money.

Re: Prizmo VS TextGrabber with the StandScan Pro using 12 volt AC
Hi Richard, Once you set your language in Text Grabber, it will save that setting until you choose to change the setting.

The test was done with the iPhone 5, but I only have my personal Email accounts on my touch so I copied the text from Dropbox where I had saved the file after merging the results in MS Word on the computer. I will give TextGrabber another try once I've set it to English, but like I say, for me personally, I'd rather not have to keep resetting things because it doesn't know how to default to the language of the device being used.

Re: Prizmo VS TextGrabber with the StandScan Pro using 12 volt AC
I don't know how relevant this comment might be, but based on lots of experience scanning with an application that offers a choice of ocr engine, Fine Reader and Omnipage, I have found that there are definitely occasions that one engine does better than the other, and this may change with the type of material. Also, the best brightness setting for a given engine ton a given piece of text may not be the best brightness setting for another engine on that same text. I don't guess there are brightness settings on these iPhone apps. I get consistently superior results when scanning recipes if I use the engine found in Omnipage rather than Fine Reader.
