Re: Iphone5 streaming.
Truthfully I can stream over LTE for at least 3 or 4 hours at a time with not one dropout no buffering or anything. I live in New York city, midtown manhattan so you would think the experience would be awful but its fantastic. Doesn't matter the stream. I have even done it with audiobox.

Skype problem
When answering a video call on Skype on my IPod 4, is there anything I need to do other than tap the answer button? I have been told that the caller cannot see a picture. I made a video call out the other day and could be seen. I have looked in settings but can find no obvious setting I need to adjust. Please can anyone help?

RE: Brail list Version 1.4
Can somebody explain this app? I open it and I am told the 9 buttons are on my screen but I get no feedback from either VO when it is on or Siri when VO is off. I also don't understand some of what is said in the instruction manual, but maybe I could figure that out if I can get some feedback. I do fine with Braille Touch so I know I've got the concept of how to hold the phone, but I thought I'd try this as well. Thanks.

I'm the developer of Braillist - a free braille keyboard for the iPhone. I believe that accessible technology should be accessible to individuals from all socio-economic backgrounds. This is often not the case and for this reason, I'm proud that the community of people using Braillist is steadily growing. I'd like to thank all members of the blind and sighted community who have given me constructive feedback over the past weeks and months. I've listened to what my customers had to say and am happy to announce a huge improvement in the Braillist text-to-voice engine. With VoiceOver on, the voice feedback for characters and words is now brought to you by none other than Siri. This enables typing at much faster speeds than previously possible. The audio feedback has also been expanded to include deletions and a more comprehensive set of symbols. Baraillist is compatible with iPhone 3GS through the iPhone 5, iPod touch models from 3rd generation onwards and iOS 5.0 later versions. Visit http://braillist.info/ to find detailed instructions on using the Braillist keyboard. Here, you can also read about other built-in amenities such as a notes library, mappings library, ability to customize contractions, etc. You can also sign up for the email group to join the community of Braillist users. I'll be glad to answer your questions and hear more about your experience with this app. Best Wishes Happy Brailling, Surabhi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

If you are talking about pairing the Bluetooth keyboard with your iPhone you can try this. First on your phone go to settings and then Bluetooth. I am assuming that Bluetooth is enabled. Next turn on the Bluetooth keyboard. I am assuming that you have already inserted the two AAA batteries which may or may not come with it. Mine came with a pair of batteries. The power switch is on the underside of the keyboard. It is a button which has two positions. Toward the battery compartment is on and away from the battery compartment is off. Next to the power slide button is a push button. Press this for about two or three seconds. Your phone should now identify the keyboard. Double tap the keyboard entry on your phone and it will prompt you to enter a four digit pin on the keyboard. You have around 10 or 15 seconds to do this. Probably less. Think of this like the Mission impossible message which selfdistructs. Anyway, type the four digit number on the keyboard followed by the enter key on the keyboard. That is all there is to it.

Eric, Two things that you may want to share with Karen: 1. The settings imply that the file name will be named according to the item or list title as specified, but the file name doesn't change. That is why I didn't think this would work for the person needing the name associated with the file, but you are right about the subject, which would then allow the person to save the file with a different name.

Standscan pro - I admit defeat
Hi all. I knew i was stupid, and that if on a web site, it says that setting up something is as easy as pie, then i will be fighting with the damn thing for weeks on end without succeeding. This is the case with the Standscan pro. If i set it up as it looks to be set up and then put my Iphone 4s on it, the box will budge and start leaning towards me with the result that the iphone falls off before i even can make an attempt at scanning with it. There is obviously something my stupid pea sized brain can not fathom, and it's probably really easy but i'm too dumb to understand it, so i guess i'll just admit defeat and use a desk top scanner or something. But before i deem the Standscan pro worthless, i will once more beg for help on this list. I need really simple step-by-step total idiots guide to putting the standscan together, because even after Annes good explanation of how to do it, i still can not get it to work, it just isn't stable enough. /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: Standscan pro - I admit defeat
Hi Krister, David posted instructions just yesterday, I have pasted them below. Maybe they will help, but David also points out that it is apparently relatively straight forward for a sighted person, so maybe ask a friend or family member to figure it out and then show you. I haven't received mine yet although it should come soon, so until I do I can't help myself other than to forward you David's explanation: When set up properly, the StandScan Pro creates a nice box which is decently stable. It took me about half an hour to figure out how to unfold, open, and lock it in position. I can now do it much more quickly. 1) Lay the closed package flat with the flap face up. 2) Open the flap. 3) open the central piece by unfolding it straight down from the flap. 4) Flip out the two side flaps. One side unfolds twice. 5) At this point, the bottom is the rectangle with three attachments. The back is the attachment that does not have an opposite side. If the back is away from you, the top is the rectangle all the way to the right. If you have the Pro version, the top has the LED light bar and the power chord on it. On all pieces except the bottom, there are magnets which are in areas with fold lines. The two magnets on the bottom are for locking the StandScan closed after folding up. 6) When opening, the fold in the back segment is straightened. 7) Find the fold creases on the left side panel. There is one on each side when the panel is brought to vertical. Eventually, you will fold both flaps to 90 degrees. The creases contain the round magnets on the left panel. Note: the same is true for the right side panel. 8) Bring the back panel and the left panel to vertical. The back crease in the left panel folded to 90 degrees means the magnets in the fold section match up with the magnets in the back left side. When connected together, You have a firm connection for two sides and the bottom. 9) Fold the back crease on the right side flap to 90 degrees. This will allow the right side to slide in front of the back side so the magnets on the right side connect with the back; just like the left side connects with the back. 10) Bring the top up and over the top of the box. make sure the back flap on the right side comes in front of the back side. When the magnets connect, the box is now rather sturdy. 11) Before connecting the top, make sure the chord for the LED lights is in the small groove for it on the left back side top corner. 12) Fold the flap on the top that extends beyond the back down so its magnets connect with the magnets on the back. 13) Fold the left and right front side flaps 90 degrees into the box. In other words, these flaps fold the same direction as the back flaps. 14) Fold the top flaps on the front and left sides down so they connect with their corresponding side magnets. When done properly, you have a container that provides a stable shelf to place your phone on for taking images for OCR. The round hole for the camera is in the middle of the box. It is your job to place the phone so the camera is properly aligned. I make sure the side of my iPhone is the same distance back from the front edge of the box along its entire length. The LED lights are all the way across the back of the box, when open, so light is spread evenly across the page being scanned. Note: if you are still unable to make the box stand, have a sighted person set it up and then show you. Visually, it is straight-forward to set up. Finally, a note on the material. The website clearly states the StandScan is laminated cardboard. This means, cardboard with a thin film of plastic bonded to it. Only the outside of the box has the plastic film on it.

This is the case with the Standscan pro. If i set it up as it looks to be set up and then put my Iphone 4s on it, the box will budge and start leaning towards me with the result that the iphone falls off before i even can make an attempt at scanning with it.

Voiceover announces call duration, was: iPhone 4 keeps constantly switching to and from speaker phone
Hi Raul, I am one of these people who has a 4S which keeps announcing the call duration all the time. I will try this recommendation to take the phone away from my ear and to touch the end button, but what seems to happen with my 4S is that even if I move focus away from the call duration, after a while Voiceover says Screen Locked and then within 30 or so seconds after that Voiceover continues to read out the call duration every 20 seconds. There is of course also the issue everybody has that Voiceover will read out incoming push notifications, text messages or anything else you have set to read in the lock screen and I just feel Apple should make Voiceover shut up altogether when a call is in progress. After all, if I hear something has happened, e.g. a text message or email came in or a push notification, I can always take the phone while I am on the call and manually review it if I feel I need to know immediately. I am also getting a replacement 4S in a couple of days and it will be interesting to know if I am going to have the same problem and whether I am going to be once again able to balance Voiceover volume and call volume so I can use the keypad properly when a call is on speakerphone. Right now I am simply not able to make Voiceover loud enough to hear it reliably in this situation even if I turn Voiceover up all the way to 100% by using volume on the rotor and as soon as I try to turn down the call volume with the volume buttons Voiceover also goes down. I am getting a replacement phone because in the last few weeks I was suddenly unable to scan a single barcode with Digit Eyes. I finally asked one of my employees to try it and he said the image on the screen was all blurry and the camera didn't focus. He tried to just use the stock camera app and especially when I tried to take a picture of something close up Voiceover would say Auto Focus as it does, but visually the camera wouldn't focus. I did a full factory reset setting the phone up as a new device and even with nothing else installed the problem persisted, I called Apple and since I fortunately decided to buy Apple Care and my phone still has warranty until November they immediately said they would send out a replacement. I am supposed to get it by Monday. It's the usual good Apple service and it's nice to get a new phone after almost a year and a half, yes, I know it maybe a refurbished phone, but I was actually told that it could be a refurbished phone but is not necessarily one and even if it is, I was assured that it would, for example, have a brandnew battery which is of considerable value.

Re: Reuters: Video game found to help the blind navigate buildings
Here's the entire story. OS not specified. NEW YORK (Reuters) - A video game that uses a computer-generated layout of a building can help to prepare the blind to navigate the venue in real life by improving their spatial awareness, researchers said on Wednesday. The game, based in a building at a center for the blind in Newton, Massachusetts, uses audio cues to help blind players find hidden jewels and remove them from the building without being spotted by roving monsters. After competing in the game, researchers found the players were able to find their way around the building in real-life, suggesting video games could help blind people navigate places they frequent regularly. It is a tool to build a map of a place you have never been to before, said Dr Lotfi Merabet, a neuroscientist at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and Harvard Medical School, whose team developed the software used in the game. Merabet hopes the video game could be a first step in improving assisted technology for the blind, particularly teenagers who are very media and technology driven. The World Health Organization estimates there are 285 million visually impaired people worldwide. It could be a whole new way to help blind people interact with this information and conceptualize space around them, Merabet added in an interview. Merabet said the video game players were also better at finding alternate paths in the building than other blind people who had been taught the layout by walking through it. The video game not only allows you to build a map in your mind, it allows you to interact with it mentally in a way that you wouldn't be able to if you were taught explicitly (by walking through it, Merabet explained. The researchers tested the game on congenitally blind people and those who had lost their sight. The players ranged in age from their teens to 45 years old. Merabet and his team, who wrote about the video game in the Journal of Visualized Experiments, want to include large-scale mapping in the next version of the game and to use tactile cues and items developed for the video game industry. But first he said they will have to demonstrate how long it takes to build the mental map, how complex they can make it, and the people best suited to learn this way. They do not see it as a replacement for how blind people learn but as a supplement to enhance a skill they need, and to build self confidence. Somehow you become a better problem solver and you seem to somehow take in the information in a more robust fashion in this gaming scenario than if you sat down and we told you, said Merabet. Video games are not just for sighted people. Blind people can not only play them but interact with them and enjoy them, and they can also be used to do constructive things.

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question
Ray, the practice area lets you make the gestures. As you do, voice over tells you what they do. My guess is you haven't been at this long. Are you just gathering information or did you already buy an iPhone? Everybody has a little trouble at first but your a pretty smart guy as I've known you for years on another list. Just relax and take it as it comes. Ask questions by all means but you don't need to spend money for a trainer and that stuff.

If this is correct, you may well have lots of problems with a new one. The greater the frustration we feel, the harder it is to learn, and the errors increase, both in number and complexity. In other words, lots of frustration means you will most likely fail with the iPhone. So, if you should decide to get one, I strongly recommend you work with a trainer to learn the basics of controlling the device. I also very strongly recommend you spend much time in the practice area learning the control gestures and how to navigate the device.

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question
It's a minor point and once I get use to using it I'd probably feel the same way. I like the keyboard so much that I spent the money and went back to Amazon and bought the sleeve for it. I should of bought it at the same time I bought the keyboard and could of got both shipped for free. Instead, it cost me 8 dollars and 11 cents shipping. So it came to around 27 dollars and change. I was pleased at how well made it is for the money and thanks to your podcast, I already knew how to turn it on and to pare it so I was typing on it pretty quick from the time I opened it up If anybody has bought the sleve I'd like to hear what you think of it please.. - Original Message - From: Raul A.

Gesture mode
Hi In some apps, I've seen a thing that voiceover calls gesture mode. Then it gives hints on what gestures to use, EG, tap once to play/pause, ETC ETC. This is in the Raditaz app, and I've seen it when using the remote app to control Apple tv. And you can use the gestures normally, just tap in the middle of the screen and VO will say Gesture mode and you can use the gestures normally. Is this something new, or am I just now discovering it?

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question
Nope! On your iPhone, you would go to settings,Bluetooth. Assuming of course you put the supplied batteries in the keyboard and actually put them in the right way round, grin your phone will announce Bluetooth keyboard not paired. Then just press and hold the flush mounted rubber button for a couple of seconds and turn the keyboard back over and be ready to type. Voice over will read you the code like 87000. If you typed it correctly it will announce paring was successful. Then you can then turn the keyboard off and on again and it will still be pared. I assume though that when the batteries die, you probably would have to go through it all over again but that's just a guess so if I'm wrong, somebody please correct me.

I'm having great difficulty using the iPhone 5 to access automated menus like at my bank and credit card company. I've tried using my blue tooth keyboard, and while I can input a number and dial it from the keyboard's numbers row, I can't use the numbers row to access the menus like when it advises to press 1, pound, etc. the keystrokes on the keyboard don't get passed to the menu system as long as I'm on a call. I've tried using touch typing, but the screen is so sensitive that I either press too many keys and get bounced out of the menu or transferred to a live person. If I use standard typing I can't seem to move around on the keypad quick enough to make choices, so the same thing happens. I know I can set up numbers in my contacts and add the additional menu choices and account numbers, but I really don't feel comfortable doing this. I do use the screen curtain and I'm generally very aware of who's around when I use my phone, but I really don't feel secure including that type of information in my contacts. does anyone have any ideas that would make this process easier? I know some people say they can do this using their Bluetooth keyboard, but I have the Amazon Basics, and while it's awesome everyplace else, it's not working for this particular situation.

Re: need recording app that I can label and send to pc
Neil, I got the impression that the upload only over Wi-Fi thing was supposed to be an upcoming feature of version 2.0? It looks this way. If so, then I might actually get Dropvox, since I've been looking for a way to replace the Voice Memos app. Thanks, Ari On Mar 27, 2013, at 8:36 AM, Neal Ewers neal.ew...@ravenswood.org wrote: Hi all, Thanks for the DropVox suggestion. It is very nice in that it uploads to DropBox without your having to do anything like manually sharing the file. I am not happy with the limited audio quality, but they say that in version 2.0, one will be able to change this. I hope it continues to be accessible. Oh, and that's the other nice thing. There is very little on the screen and the record button is very well labeled. You just tap on the screen and it starts recording. Tap again and recording stops, and the file is automatically exported to DropBox. Of course, you have to have dropBox on your device. You can also set it to only transfer if there is Wi-Fi available. This way, if you're out and around with no wireless signal, it will wait until it sees a wireless system to which you are connected to transfer the file. Of course, you can also tell it to work when wireless is not available.

Only $2.00. here is a link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dropvox/id416288287?mt=8 This app will allow you to record what you want, and them it will send the MP4 to a folder in your Dropbox account. When it sends the recording it uses the date and time as the file name, which you can change in the dropbox folder. Now you can leave the recording in your Dropbox folder and simply have a link to the recording in the file on your PC. Of course you will also need a dropbox account on your PC .

Re: sharing what's up pro
Yes, you don't need a credit card to use the Apple store. Your actually better off not using a credit card. Why? Because if your your account gets hacked, they can hit you up for quite a bit of money. On the other hand, if you use a gift card, they come in 10, 15, 25, 50, and 100 dollar mounts, all you can be tagged for is the amount of your credit. When you enter in a gift card amount, it's shown up as a credit such as say 15 dollars. I got a 50 dollar iTunes gift card last Christmas and still have half of it left. Very handy and you can buy the gift cards in quite a few places or on line. - Original Message - From: Chris H christopher...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 12:26 AM Subject: Re: sharing what's up pro Yes buy a gift card or gift certificate.

Re: best epub reader app for I Phone and accessibility?
Hi Dan, I guess Gutemberg project uses the so-called social DRM, out of copyright protection. For this kind of ebooks the Apple free downloadable app Ibooks could be suitable enough, but only in case of simple contents books, I mean especially novels and litterature books in general. In short, all that books readable almost sequentially from start to end, from top to bottom. Unfortunately, in case you need reading more complex books, the Ibooks app often fails, not showing you all the features of the book. I'm mainly thinking of books filled with tables, footnotes, indexes with nested items, headings, meaningful images, refeences and so on. Ibooks seems not to recognize tables and consequently they cannot be red according to their structure, by column or by line, but just sequentially line per line. The text description tags of images, when present, are ignored as well as nested paragraphs in an index. Setting the VO rotor in navigation by headings you are not allowed to jump to next or previous heading by the usual one finger down or up sliding gesture. I have found more suitable to reading Epub format, but not copyright protected ebooks, the app called Ilike2Read, downloadable not for free, despite I did not find a complete accessible and usable app yet, capable of taking advantage of all the Ebooks navigation features. Not to mention Ebooks Adobe DRM protected that are almost inaccessible to VoiceOver in Iphone and other apple devices. Only the OverDrive app seems dealing a little with that kind of books, but with bunch of shortcomings. Of course, this is just my personal experience, hoping it could help. Mario.

RE: Very Strange Issue
Have you tried rebooting your phone?

I am using an iPhone 5 and have experienced a really strange issue today. When I make or receive a phone call, I can't be heard by the person I'm talking with, unless I take the phone away from my ear and thus put it on speaker phone. Then I am heard fine. Does anyone know of a change I can make to take care of this? Or is it most likely a hardware issue that will need to be repaired?

Questions on hands-free media controls with Vokul Was: Re: are there differences
Really? I found Vokul pretty easy to use. I didn't know about the contrast issues for people with low vision, though. I'm keeping it around for hands-free media controls. That feature is pretty damn awesome. Do you know if that can also be combined with the Audible app? I mean, does the media you're trying to play with Vokul have to be in the Music app?

Re: News Streaming App for Smaller Towns?
Hello Lisa, I think that you might want to go look into TuneIn radio, or I heart radio and then search under local stations and see if there's any news stations, that you can listen to you. Now I know that some people like the best thing I got out of the iHeartRadio at but that's not what I'm looking for you I like you know it refreshes, I think it's still easy to find the button as to where they are. If you need me to describe where the buttons and how the buttons are laid out on the air please let me know and I can even provide timing on how fast you get there before refreshing if you need help if you get I heart radio to do the job.

Re: Amazon basics Bluetooth Keyboard question
If you like, you may write me off list about the iPhone. I wouldn't mind helping you out. I know how frustrating it can be to learn how to use the iPhone.

If this is correct, you may well have lots of problems with a new one. The greater the frustration we feel, the harder it is to learn, and the errors increase, both in number and complexity. In other words, lots of frustration means you will most likely fail with the iPhone. So, if you should decide to get one, I strongly recommend you work with a trainer to learn the basics of controlling the device. I also very strongly recommend you spend much time in the practice area learning the control gestures and how to navigate the device. Otherwise, you will be like a person who does not know how to type or where the letters are on the keyboard trying to use a computer. It will not work.

The only time I ever had trouble pairing the Bluetooth device with my iPhone four, at the time, was when I was pairing the Verbatum keyboard.

I don't think you are getting touch typing, you hold your finger down until you get where you want, then let go. It beats the heck out of standard typing once you get used to not letting go.

I'm having great difficulty using the iPhone 5 to access automated menus like at my bank and credit card company. I've tried using my blue tooth keyboard, and while I can input a number and dial it from the keyboard's numbers row, I can't use the numbers row to access the menus like when it advises to press 1, pound, etc. the keystrokes on the keyboard don't get passed to the menu system as long as I'm on a call. I've tried using touch typing, but the screen is so sensitive that I either press too many keys and get bounced out of the menu or transferred to a live person. If I use standard typing I can't seem to move around on the keypad quick enough to make choices, so the same thing happens. I know I can set up numbers in my contacts and add the additional menu choices and account numbers, but I really don't feel comfortable doing this. I do use the screen curtain and I'm generally very aware of who's around when I use my phone, but I really don't feel secure including that type of information in my contacts. does anyone have any ideas that would make this process easier? I know some people say they can do this using their Bluetooth keyboard, but I have the Amazon Basics, and while it's awesome everyplace else, it's not working for this particular situation.

Re: Voiceover announces call duration, was: iPhone 4 keeps constantly switching to and from speaker phone
Hello Sieghard. That's interesting and definitely sounds like a problem. I agree that sometimes you don't want text messages or other push notifications to speak while on a phone call. Sometimes I want these and so if Apple made this into some sort of toggle for those who want it then it would work for most. But the constant speaking of the call duration or other non-push related items definitely shouldn't be happening. I've got 3 iPhones at my disposal here at home and a few from my clients and none have this issue. So, I'm hoping it's not one of those hardware thingys which only affects certain people. -- Raul A.

I will try this recommendation to take the phone away from my ear and to touch the end button, but what seems to happen with my 4S is that even if I move focus away from the call duration, after a while Voiceover says Screen Locked and then within 30 or so seconds after that Voiceover continues to read out the call duration every 20 seconds. There is of course also the issue everybody has that Voiceover will read out incoming push notifications, text messages or anything else you have set to read in the lock screen and I just feel Apple should make Voiceover shut up altogether when a call is in progress. After all, if I hear something has happened, e.g. a text message or email came in or a push notification, I can always take the phone while I am on the call and manually review it if I feel I need to know immediately. I am also getting a replacement 4S in a couple of days and it will be interesting to know if I am going to have the same problem and whether I am going to be once again able to balance Voiceover volume and call volume so I can use the keypad properly when a call is on speakerphone. Right now I am simply not able to make Voiceover loud enough to hear it reliably in this situation even if I turn Voiceover up all the way to 100% by using volume on the rotor and as soon as I try to turn down the call volume with the volume buttons Voiceover also goes down. I am getting a replacement phone because in the last few weeks I was suddenly unable to scan a single barcode with Digit Eyes. I finally asked one of my employees to try it and he said the image on the screen was all blurry and the camera didn't focus. He tried to just use the stock camera app and especially when I tried to take a picture of something close up Voiceover would say Auto Focus as it does, but visually the camera wouldn't focus. I did a full factory reset setting the phone up as a new device and even with nothing else installed the problem persisted, I called Apple and since I fortunately decided to buy Apple Care and my phone still has warranty until November they immediately said they would send out a replacement. I am supposed to get it by Monday. It's the usual good Apple service and it's nice to get a new phone after almost a year and a half, yes, I know it maybe a refurbished phone, but I was actually told that it could be a refurbished phone but is not necessarily one and even if it is, I was assured that it would, for example, have a brandnew battery which is of considerable value.

If this is correct, you may well have lots of problems with a new one. The greater the frustration we feel, the harder it is to learn, and the errors increase, both in number and complexity. In other words, lots of frustration means you will most likely fail with the iPhone. So, if you should decide to get one, I strongly recommend you work with a trainer to learn the basics of controlling the device. I also very strongly recommend you spend much time in the practice area learning the control gestures and how to navigate the device.

Happens all time for me Sent from my iPhone On 28 Mar 2013, at 15:29, Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: Hello Sieghard. That's interesting and definitely sounds like a problem. I agree that sometimes you don't want text messages or other push notifications to speak while on a phone call. Sometimes I want these and so if Apple made this into some sort of toggle for those who want it then it would work for most. But the constant speaking of the call duration or other non-push related items definitely shouldn't be happening. I've got 3 iPhones at my disposal here at home and a few from my clients and none have this issue. So, I'm hoping it's not one of those hardware thingys which only affects certain people. -- Raul A.

I will try this recommendation to take the phone away from my ear and to touch the end button, but what seems to happen with my 4S is that even if I move focus away from the call duration, after a while Voiceover says Screen Locked and then within 30 or so seconds after that Voiceover continues to read out the call duration every 20 seconds. There is of course also the issue everybody has that Voiceover will read out incoming push notifications, text messages or anything else you have set to read in the lock screen and I just feel Apple should make Voiceover shut up altogether when a call is in progress. After all, if I hear something has happened, e.g. a text message or email came in or a push notification, I can always take the phone while I am on the call and manually review it if I feel I need to know immediately. I am also getting a replacement 4S in a couple of days and it will be interesting to know if I am going to have the same problem and whether I am going to be once again able to balance Voiceover volume and call volume so I can use the keypad properly when a call is on speakerphone. Right now I am simply not able to make Voiceover loud enough to hear it reliably in this situation even if I turn Voiceover up all the way to 100% by using volume on the rotor and as soon as I try to turn down the call volume with the volume buttons Voiceover also goes down. I am getting a replacement phone because in the last few weeks I was suddenly unable to scan a single barcode with Digit Eyes. I finally asked one of my employees to try it and he said the image on the screen was all blurry and the camera didn't focus. He tried to just use the stock camera app and especially when I tried to take a picture of something close up Voiceover would say Auto Focus as it does, but visually the camera wouldn't focus. I did a full factory reset setting the phone up as a new device and even with nothing else installed the problem persisted, I called Apple and since I fortunately decided to buy Apple Care and my phone still has warranty until November they immediately said they would send out a replacement. I am supposed to get it by Monday. It's the usual good Apple service and it's nice to get a new phone after almost a year and a half, yes, I know it maybe a refurbished phone, but I was actually told that it could be a refurbished phone but is not necessarily one and even if it is, I was assured that it would, for example, have a brandnew battery which is of considerable value.

Re: Standscan pro - I admit defeat
Krister, I don't think I can improve on David's excellent description, but if I add one of my own, between us all, we might get you assembled! Indeed, if you could find someone to help assemble, just for the first time, it would be very useful to see how the finished thing fits together. However, if this is difficult for you to arrange, then you must keep coming back to the list and, eventually, we will sort it! So don't give up yet. My problem is that I can't remember exactly how the SSP looked when it first arrived, so I hope I don't confuse you further!! 1. With the folded SSP flat on the table in front of you, there should be a short piece of cable protruding from the furthest, right-hand corner. 2. If you feel for a narrow flap, this runs along the length of the SSP, but is only about 3 inches (say 7 cm) across, lift this flap away from you so that it and the larger flap it is part of, opens out toward the back of the SSP and is laying flat on the table toward the back of the SSP. 3. Now lift the next flap you find and open it out to your left and lay it flat on the table, it will stick out to the left of the SSP. 4. Now take the last flap, which will open up and over to your right. This is a double flap, so it will open out twice and is twice the lengther of the flap that you have alrready opened out to your left. 5. You should now have a shape in front of you with the central rectangular base. With a flap opened to the left of it. You should have another flap opened out to the right and this one is twice the length of the one on the left, because half of this longer flap is going to be the top of your SSP. and in the centre of the second part of this long flap is the hole for the camera to see through. Lastly, there should be a flap at the back of the central base which is opened out away from you and which has a secondary, smaller flap as part of it. 5. Lift the left hand flap so that is is vertical and hold it there with your left hand. 6. Now lift the flap on the right, taking hold of it toward its furthest end and lift it so that the first part is roughly vertical and the second flap folds toward the flap you are holding with your left hand. Thus forming a top to your box. 7. Using both hands, fold the little flap at the end of this top piece over the top edge of the left hand flap. There are magnets in this part of the top and they will be attracted to the magnets which are also toward the top of the left hand flap. I find I might have to slide the two together a little until I can feel that they have found each other, these magnets. Also, the cable should now be poking out at the top left of your wobbly box! 8. you should now have a wobbly construction with no back and no front and this is when we will start to strengthen it! Running vertically up the front of the two sides which are now standing up, you should find two triangles, they are long and attached to the sides of the box sides that are standing up. Bend these gently so that they form the beginning of a sort of frame to the front of your box and then bend the flap that you will find is now protruding from the top/lid of the box. This flap, when bent down over the two triangle flaps will stay in place once the magnets find each other. So now we have just the back to deal with. 8. Lift the back flap up,keeping the little flap open and flat. If you do this lifting with your left hand, then with your right, gently fold in the two long triangles, similar to those at the front of the box, so that they are making a sort of frame at the back of the box, just like at the front, the top flat will also bend down to meet them, but this time, the magnets will not find each other until you press the back (held with your left hand) flat against them. This is because the magnets holding the back together are in that top flap of the back and the magnets of the two long triangles. The top flap that your bent down, which is attached to the lid of your box doesn't have any magnets in it, but is merely sandwitched between the back and the long triangles. In short, Ha! The part of the box that holds it firm is the frame that you make with these triangles. It sounds like you have got the general shape going OK, but have not done the triangles properly. Please get back to the list if it still won't stand firm for you, as it would be such a shame to give up when you are so close! Sandy.

RE: need recording app that I can label and send to pc
Hi Ari, I could have sworn that the upload only over Wi-Fi was in the settings tab of the version I am currently using. However, I don't see it there now. I guess the mind is going. Perhaps it needs Wi-Fi as well. It is mentioned, as you suggest, in the what's coming in 2.0. So, I think you are right. I am assuming though, that if one has a Wi-Fi connection and has directed the phone to use it, that the transfer does take place through that medium. Thanks for the correction.

It is very nice in that it uploads to DropBox without your having to do anything like manually sharing the file. I am not happy with the limited audio quality, but they say that in version 2.0, one will be able to change this. I hope it continues to be accessible. Oh, and that's the other nice thing. There is very little on the screen and the record button is very well labeled. You just tap on the screen and it starts recording. Tap again and recording stops, and the file is automatically exported to DropBox. Of course, you have to have dropBox on your device. You can also set it to only transfer if there is Wi-Fi available. This way, if you're out and around with no wireless signal, it will wait until it sees a wireless system to which you are connected to transfer the file.

Re: rumor or not?
The 16GB iPhone 5 on tMobile can be had for $99 up front with $20 monthly payments for 2 years. I read a fascinating Mashable article yesterday comparing your spend on all US carriers over 2 years, if you got a 16 GB iPhone 5 and the unlimited talk, text and where possible data plans from all the major US carriers. What is showed was that your spend on tMobile over that two year period would be a full $600 less than it would on ATT. Pretty impressive.

Re: digest
There is. It looks like Google has changed the Google Groups interface a bit again though, so I'm not sure how accessible it is. If you follow the link at the end of this message to take you to the viphone group page, there's a My Settings menu right above the list of messages. The first entry in this menu includes email settings. Here you can switch to digest mode. I had to use review mode with Orca to get this far. I couldn't get anywhere with ChromeVox. I'm not sure how far you'll get with your browser/screen reader combination, but maybe this will help.

This may be dependent on how the list is set up, but as I said in my previous message, try the reply all button and then delete the addresses you don't want to include. I just tried this with a message from this list, and I just got the list address in both the to and cc fields, so it may not work or it may be list dependent.

Re: Voiceover announces call duration, was: iPhone 4 keeps constantly switching to and from speaker phone
Hello Sieghard, I strongly disagree with you about having VoiceOver be automatically silenced during a call. If you want VO silent, double tap the screen with three fingers. I want to hear those announcements, like I always have, during phone calls.

I will try this recommendation to take the phone away from my ear and to touch the end button, but what seems to happen with my 4S is that even if I move focus away from the call duration, after a while Voiceover says Screen Locked and then within 30 or so seconds after that Voiceover continues to read out the call duration every 20 seconds. There is of course also the issue everybody has that Voiceover will read out incoming push notifications, text messages or anything else you have set to read in the lock screen and I just feel Apple should make Voiceover shut up altogether when a call is in progress. After all, if I hear something has happened, e.g. a text message or email came in or a push notification, I can always take the phone while I am on the call and manually review it if I feel I need to know immediately. I am also getting a replacement 4S in a couple of days and it will be interesting to know if I am going to have the same problem and whether I am going to be once again able to balance Voiceover volume and call volume so I can use the keypad properly when a call is on speakerphone. Right now I am simply not able to make Voiceover loud enough to hear it reliably in this situation even if I turn Voiceover up all the way to 100% by using volume on the rotor and as soon as I try to turn down the call volume with the volume buttons Voiceover also goes down. I am getting a replacement phone because in the last few weeks I was suddenly unable to scan a single barcode with Digit Eyes. I finally asked one of my employees to try it and he said the image on the screen was all blurry and the camera didn't focus. He tried to just use the stock camera app and especially when I tried to take a picture of something close up Voiceover would say Auto Focus as it does, but visually the camera wouldn't focus. I did a full factory reset setting the phone up as a new device and even with nothing else installed the problem persisted, I called Apple and since I fortunately decided to buy Apple Care and my phone still has warranty until November they immediately said they would send out a replacement. I am supposed to get it by Monday. It's the usual good Apple service and it's nice to get a new phone after almost a year and a half, yes, I know it maybe a refurbished phone, but I was actually told that it could be a refurbished phone but is not necessarily one and even if it is, I was assured that it would, for example, have a brandnew battery which is of considerable value.

Re: Voiceover announces call duration, was: iPhone 4 keeps constantly switching to and from speaker phone
I have gotten into the habit of doing a two finger double tap to answer a call, and then immediately a three finger double tap to silence voice over. I reverse this when ending a call, three finger double tap to turn voice over back on, and a two finger double tap to end the call. When I am using my Blue tooth headset while riding my bike, I silence voice over so I can answer and end calls with one touch of the call button on the headset. If I remember correctly, voice over was silenced when a call came in on the older IOS versions, but this was changed so the key pad could be utilized during a call.

If I remember correctly, voice over was silenced when a call came in on the older IOS versions, but this was changed so the key pad could be utilized during a call.

Re: Oy, I got the Adobe Digital Editions Blues
No, DRM means Digital Rights Management. It is set up such that no reader is able to read any other reader's books. Therefore, you can only open non-DRM files in readers other than the reader the file is protected to. So, you cannot read Amazon Kindle books, for example, because the Kindle app does not allow VO access to its books.

On your iPhone, you would go to settings,Bluetooth. Assuming of course you put the supplied batteries in the keyboard and actually put them in the right way round, grin your phone will announce Bluetooth keyboard not paired. Then just press and hold the flush mounted rubber button for a couple of seconds and turn the keyboard back over and be ready to type. Voice over will read you the code like 87000. If you typed it correctly it will announce paring was successful. Then you can then turn the keyboard off and on again and it will still be pared.

Re: rumor or not?
Hi, I'm not sure how much list members experiences would really help you unless, they happen to live in the same neighborhood you happen to. T-mobile's coverage has grown in the last 5 years but, there are still gaps. Honestly, I think the best thing to do is to just try it out. I believe by law, Carriers have to give you at least 14 days in which you can get a complete refund minus charges accumulated over the time you tried out the network. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Mar 28, 2013, at 3:28 PM, Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D. kramlinger.ke...@mayo.edu wrote: Anyone on this list with T-Mobile experience?

Re: best epub reader app for I Phone and accessibility?
I think your misunderstanding the point of the reader.

Hi Dan, I guess Gutemberg project uses the so-called social DRM, out of copyright protection. For this kind of ebooks the Apple free downloadable app Ibooks could be suitable enough, but only in case of simple contents books, I mean especially novels and litterature books in general. In short, all that books readable almost sequentially from start to end, from top to bottom. Unfortunately, in case you need reading more complex books, the Ibooks app often fails, not showing you all the features of the book. I'm mainly thinking of books filled with tables, footnotes, indexes with nested items, headings, meaningful images, refeences and so on. Ibooks seems not to recognize tables and consequently they cannot be red according to their structure, by column or by line, but just sequentially line per line. The text description tags of images, when present, are ignored as well as nested paragraphs in an index. Setting the VO rotor in navigation by headings you are not allowed to jump to next or previous heading by the usual one finger down or up sliding gesture. I have found more suitable to reading Epub format, but not copyright protected ebooks, the app called Ilike2Read, downloadable not for free, despite I did not find a complete accessible and usable app yet, capable of taking advantage of all the Ebooks navigation features. Not to mention Ebooks Adobe DRM protected that are almost inaccessible to VoiceOver in Iphone and other apple devices. Only the OverDrive app seems dealing a little with that kind of books, but with bunch of shortcomings. Of course, this is just my personal experience, hoping it could help. Mario.

Re: Voiceover announces call duration, was: iPhone 4 keeps constantly switching to and from speaker phone
I find VO's speaking during a phone call annoying also. Here's an enhancement suggestion I have for Apple, which I'll run by this group first: Add a VO setting option to turn VO speech off during a phone call. The setting would originally be off to be compatible with previous behavior. When a call comes in, the logic would be as follows: If the option is on, and VO speech is enabled, turn speech off. During the call: A three-fingered double tap would behave as normal during the call, that is, it would toggle speech. Call ends: If speech was turned off automatically at call start, and is currently off, turn it back on. Comments? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

If you are talking about pairing the Bluetooth keyboard with your iPhone you can try this. First on your phone go to settings and then Bluetooth. I am assuming that Bluetooth is enabled. Next turn on the Bluetooth keyboard. I am assuming that you have already inserted the two AAA batteries which may or may not come with it. Mine came with a pair of batteries. The power switch is on the underside of the keyboard. It is a button which has two positions. Toward the battery compartment is on and away from the battery compartment is off. Next to the power slide button is a push button. Press this for about two or three seconds. Your phone should now identify the keyboard. Double tap the keyboard entry on your phone and it will prompt you to enter a four digit pin on the keyboard. You have around 10 or 15 seconds to do this. Probably less. Think of this like the Mission impossible message which selfdistructs. Anyway, type the four digit number on the keyboard followed by the enter key on the keyboard. That is all there is to it.

If this is correct, you may well have lots of problems with a new one. The greater the frustration we feel, the harder it is to learn, and the errors increase, both in number and complexity. In other words, lots of frustration means you will most likely fail with the iPhone. So, if you should decide to get one, I strongly recommend you work with a trainer to learn the basics of controlling the device. I also very strongly recommend you spend much time in the practice area learning the control gestures and how to navigate the device. Otherwise, you will be like a person who does not know how to type or where the letters are on the keyboard trying to use a computer. It will not work.

Also, you might try checking the archives for things like Siri commands or just Siri. Also you might just do a search for Siri on google and see what you come up with, you might be pleasantly surprised. Fred Olver - Original Message - From: Ray T.

The dictation limit is 30 seconds per segment. You can activate the dictation button again after each batch is converted.

Hi Ray, SIRI is designed to understand natural speech and for certain things it is more forgiving than others. For example, you can tell SIRI any of the following and it will do it perfectly: Set my alarm for 7 AM Set my alarm for 7 in the morning Wake me up at 7 I have to get up at 7 However, if you tell it Wake me up at 7 on Wednesday, for some reason it will tell you that an alarm can't be set for more than 1 day ahead and then it asks if you want to set a Reminder instead. Reminders are very easy to set and allow for good options. You can say: Remind me to Call John
