Hi again, OK, I only played around with it a bit and I used a USB headset. I think this will always be the best solution when using speech recognition since it will probably pick up and be confused by Jaws speaking otherwise.

Re: BlindSquare - price and a question
The one thing i don't like with Blind Square apart from its name is the fact that it takes a significant time to announce what street you're turning in to which means that if you turn into the wrong street you could be quite a long way down it before Blind square wakes up and realizes it's maybe time to say something. Another thing i don't like with it is that at times it says nothing at all while at other times it blabbers away happily, giving relevant as well as obsolete information all at the same time. I don't need to know that the nearest crossing is x number of meters behind me, heck i've already crossed that street. /Krister 13 maj 2013 kl. 08:50 skrev Grant Hardy grantha...@gmail.com: I absolutely echo Lisa's thoughts.

Re: BlindSquare - price and a question
Sieghard, thank you very much for writting to the support team. I sent them mail as well, asking them the same and they said it should work in my country. I was told exactly the same about Ariadne and it does not work, or at least not in the area where I live. There are a few blind people in Slovakia who use Ariadne and they say it works for them. Some people also use Blindsquare and they say it works for them, but they live in Capital. The only way to see whether it works or not would be to test it before purchasing, but it is not possible. I am quite upset I paid for Ariadne because it was recommended as a great app and I cannot use it at all. At the time I purchased Ariadne, it cost about 5 euros which is enough, but not that much, so I paid for it. It is not going to happen with Blindsquare because 18 euros is quite much.

Re: Justification for using Kindle vs. downloading from Bookshare
Hi Cara, Kindle borrowed books do have a time limit, as do overdrive books from the library. My husband once lent me a Kindle book, and I think the loan period was 2 weeks, but it may have been 7 days. And while it is true that bookshare books have no time limit, for many of those books, at least for me, the distinction between it and the library is moot, since I don't keep novels after I read them anyway. In point of fact, now that we can download books from BARD, they also have no time limit. So the analogy between such services and the public library is not perfect. But the point still is that such services enable us to read books without having to buy each one. The other thing to keep in mind is that with a physical book, a sighted person can lend that to friends, thus enabling many people to get the benefit of the one purchase, and I know people who do that too. For me, the bottom line is that there are plenty of ways sighted folks can and do get access to books without buying each one of them, and nobody's suggesting that they are somehow less than fair to authors by so doing.

RE: email rools,
Hi Ramy, There are no folders in gmail other than the default folders like Inbox, Starred, Sent Mail etc. Anything else you create in order to sort emails is done via labels. Creating a label is easy, just click on Edit Labels, then find the edit field where you can type the new label name and then click Save. Once you have a label, for example, Viphone, you then set up a filter. All you have to do is find the Create Filter link. Here you can choose to filter mail with a certain From address or a certain subject. Then a number of actions are listed which you can perform. One of these is to apply a certain label. If you want all mail from the Viphone list to have the Viphone label, then first put viphone@googlegroups.com in the From address, then click the button Next Step. On the next page check the checkbox Apply the label, then from the combo box of available labels select the Viphone label and click Create Filter. That's it, now any emails coming from viphone@GoogleGroups.com will automatically get the label Viphone which is equivalent to them being moved into a Viphone folder. As Raul pointed out, on the iPhone, the labels appear as folders provided you have setup your gmail account correctly by having selected Gmail as the account type.

Simply setup labels on the gmail site http://mail.google.com/mail/h and then set up filters so that viphone messages or whatever are assigned the proper label. Labels in gmail are like folders. You can make it so messages to viphone skip the inbox and have the viphone label applied. The iPhone sees labels from gmail as folders. Hope that helps. -- Raul A.

Re: Justification for using Kindle vs. downloading from Bookshare
I buy a lot of books including novels from several different sources — amazon, audible, iBooks and nook. Before digital downloads I used to buy books on tape especially if the title was from a favorite author. I just like to support them in their writing. I also borrow a lot of books from NLS, most of these are authors who are new or otherwise unknown to me. The thing about kindle which I find so exciting is the number and variety of books that are now available to me as a reader with a print disability. Now I can get books when my sighted friends get them. Now I can get the book my bookclub is reading and get it in a timely fashion. That is the best thing about kindle accessibility for me.

I have plenty of sighted friends who use the local library quite heavily. Yes, they buy some books, but almost never novels, which they read once and don't need to keep as reference material or to revisit etc. And given the size of our market and the fact that Amazon isn't going to know if sighted or blind are the ones buying their Kindle books, to whom will we be looking better buy purchasing rather than using BARD or Bookshare etc? I've bought plenty of iBooks and some Kindle books as well and plan to continue to do that. But I certainly don't plan to go buy every novel I read from some source such as Bard or BookShare, just as my sighted friends do not.

Re: BlindSquare - price and a question
As is often the case, the price has varied. I think I paid $14, but have seen it as low as $9. This is something that often happens with apps in general.

Re: BlindSquare - price and a question
i have found that Blind Square does what it says it does, but is unreliable in terms of announcing items like intersections when in a vehicle, which makes it problematic to use on a bus if you just have to know which intersection you are approaching. Andy -Original Message- From: Grant Hardy Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2013 11:50 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: BlindSquare - price and a question I absolutely echo Lisa's thoughts. BlindSquare is the app I rely on the most. It announces much more relevant information than other apps that I've tried, the only omission being the type of intersection you are approaching. I highly recommend BlindSquare. Grant On 5/12/13, Lisa Larges llar...@tamfs.org wrote: And, to chime in, BlindSquare will do all the things you asked about. It announces the nearest cross street, it's distance and relative position (12:00 for streets ahead of you, and 6:00 for those behind you, for instance.) It will tell you the nearest address, along with locations of stores etc, as others have said. I do find that I can't rely on the distances it gives; sometimes they are very accurate, sometimes off by quite a margin, all of which has to do with the vagueries of GPS in general and cell service. Of all the GPS apps, it's the one I find most useful. It's proved to be a nice way of learning about places and street names while riding a bus route, for instance; and great for walking. It has it's own native voicing, which I was surprised to find at first, and, you can't use it to plot a route, for instance.

Re: Justification for using Kindle vs. downloading from Bookshare
First of all, we don't need to justify any way we gain access to books. I know many sighted people who never buy books be they hard copy or otherwise. They borrow them from public libraries and pay nothing. I think that fact that we now have so many sources of reading material is a truly marvelous state of affairs. So it comes down to affordability and availability. Many people with print disabilities are either unemployed or under employed. They shouldn't be chided for downloading books from Bookshare or NLS any more than we would chide sighted people for borrowing books from a library. I buy books from Audible, ibooks, and Kindle. I like Audible books a lot, in that my hearing loss makes it less pleasant to listen to sweet Samantha. However, that's my choice. And, that's what this is all about, choice! Isn't it great that we now have so many?

Before digital downloads I used to buy books on tape especially if the title was from a favorite author. I just like to support them in their writing. I also borrow a lot of books from NLS, most of these are authors who are new or otherwise unknown to me. The thing about kindle which I find so exciting is the number and variety of books that are now available to me as a reader with a print disability. Now I can get books when my sighted friends get them. Now I can get the book my bookclub is reading and get it in a timely fashion. That is the best thing about kindle accessibility for me.

RE: audio on phone call
Hi Yeah I will give Apple a ring on Monday (tomorrow here in New Zealand). We don't have Apple stores so it is online support. This iphone 5 that I have is the fourth one, the first original bought online through Apple, the next two were replacements (reconditioned I later found out) and the fourth, the current one, finally was a replacement with a new unused phone. They all had the now documented slow wifi issues. My current one I would not like replaced with a reconditioned, is finally working good with wifi. It has always been a policy that they don't refund and don't replace with new, all replacements have been with a lot of dialogue. Just my luck. Thanks for all the feedback.

What am I finding is that when the phone is up to my ear I can hear the person speak but they can't hear me. When I take the phone away from my ear it goes to speakerphone and conversation can be heard and made. Bring the phone back up to my face and I can have it really close to my mouth but the top end of the phone close to my ear mutes my speech and the caller cannot hear me. A one way conversion with me holding the phone and not being heard. I have seen on forums that this has happened to others but can't find a solution. It seems to be only on the iphone 5. Has anyone on this list experienced this and knows how to fix it? I want a conversation without headphones and speakerphone. Many thanks. Regards Janine No virus found in this message.

Re: Kindle Personal Document Services
I found a nice little utility they have on the Kindle page for the US that once you install it, then in the context menu will be an item to send to Kindle. Very handy and thanks for your help! - Original Message - From: Esther To: VIPhone Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2013 3:25 PM Subject: Re: Kindle Personal Document Services Hi Alan, I think the point of confusion may be that you don't use the Amazon Kindle App to make changes in your Kindle account settings. All of the actions for managing actions and adding other email addresses that you allow to send contents to your personal documents, managing your Kindle, and getting help, have to be taken at the Amazon web site. The email address listed under the Settings screen of your Kindle app is only used to tell you which unique email address has been assigned to your Kindle app for that device. I have no way of knowing what that would be for any other user. If you have the Kindle App installed on another iOS device, that is also associated with your Amazon account, you'll have a slightly different email address to be used for sending documents to that device, that you can also find out under the Settings screen. But probably, both the URL for the Amazon web pages to manage your account to add email addresses, and the personal email address that shows up under the Settings scree for your Kindle, will show the domain for your country. Also, since my account works only in the U.S., I can't check on the links and procedures for the Amazon web pages in other countries. However, doing a web search for documentation pages indicates you should just be able to substitute your Amazon store's web address as a prefix for the ones I used for the U.S. Amazon Store. For example, I went to a Manage Your Kindle web page for the U.S. Amazon Store at: http://www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle A UK user would go to the corresponding web page at the UK Amazon Kindle Store, which would involve changing the www.amazon.com prefix in these addresses to www.amazon.co.uk. So the link to a U.K. user's Manage Your Kindle Page would be: http://www.amazon.co.uk/manageyourkindle A Canadian user would have to substitute www.amazon.ca as a prefix and use: http://www.amzon.ca/manageyourkindle In other words, you use the URL of the Amazon Store for your country, which might be France, Germany, Italy, etc. and append a slash character followed by the words for manage my kindle, typed as all lower case letters with no spaces between the words, and without the quote marks. I know that the URL links that I list above to access the Manage Your Kindle page in those other stores are valid -- but only from doing a web search. I can't actually test the actions for any store other than the U.S. Amazon Store, because I would need to have active Amazon accounts in all these other countries to get past the login screen. However, I can tell you how to navigate the U.S. web page on the Manage Your Kindle page after you log in. 1. Set your rotor to headings, and navigate to Your Kindle Account. 2. Then navigate (e.g., flick right) to the link for Personal Document Settings and activate the link. (You can also use item chooser menu, or the links chooser menu to navigate directly to this link, which is what I would do in place of steps 1 and 2 on a Mac, or if using an paired keyboard.) 3. Navigate by headings to Approved Personal Document E-mail List 4. Navigate (e.g., flick right) past the list of current addresses to the Add a new approved e-mail address link and activate it (e.g., double tap, or VO-space). 5. In the dialog window you'll be prompted to enter an approved e-mail address. There's also a tip that you can add a partial address, such as @yourcompany.com (that's the AT character followed by a domain name for people reading these posts on the web site), to authorize multiple senders. (if you have a personal domain set up for your family, this could be a quick way to add them all at once, if you use that for email.) Navigate (e.g, flick right) to the place for entering addresses, which is announced as multiline text field on my iPad Mini, and double tap or VO-space. 6.Type in the email address you wish to add, and press return. (Note: I noticed that the button in the dialog box used to enter the address is only announced as link image. I usually press the Go or Return key on my keyboard to submit my results, so I didn't notice this the first time I added an address. You can just navigate to link image and activate it (double tap or VO-space) to add your email address.) Your new email address should be added to the approved list, and you should be able to check this on the page. If you added someone else's email address to the approved email list, you will still have to tell them the personal email address that was

Re: email rools on iphone
email rools on iphoneHe means he wants to use the old method of sorting email such as with outlook express where people sorted mail into their own folder usually named the same name as the group. The iPhone groups messages into subject by default. You can go into settings, mail, and turn off sort by conversation. Then all the messages will appear one by one. so, if you have 100 messages, they will be 1 by 1. I like it better the other way. If I'm not interested in the topic, I just delete the lot in one shot.

Re: Siri
Hi, Sorry that happened here is the issue I have an Iphone 4s and latest IOS 6.1.3 a few days ago (more like around the 1st week or so of may) I went to use SIRI to dictate a rather long text message,usually prior to IOS 6.1.3 like ex IOS 5 she would process the text and send it with no problem. Fast forward to now where u ask her to send a text you can tell her who you want to send it to and she will ask what you want to say which is normal) But then when you dictacte the lengthy text she will answer can you ask that question in shorter words or wow that's a lot of words how bout a shorter question, or give a quote about Thomas Jefferson... Please read article located @ this link that explains the issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5015216?start=0tstart=0 yes I have switched on/ off Siri, done a Network/ Phone reset and so forth, and I called Apple Care they said that Siri could have been Internally updated by Apple and something in the Servers that are used to process requests could have gotten changed. I tried out an Iphone 5 )display model) @ the apple store the other day dictated a long text as a test and the same issue occoured. The Apple Guy I spoke to and demonstrated my issue to on my 4s said that if it is affecting my phone and the display Iphone 5 then it affects all Iphones. He also said it could be that siri could have trouble communicating with the Servers. I think honestly its Apple's servers as sometimes ur-related to this issue I-messages are sent as texts and Face Time does not always work.

Re: What is the Picker?
Alan, the picker is not something you can ask for. It is usually to let you change dates or if there are things to choose from. In whatever context you are working in in an app, calendar dates, time, or other list of items it will pop up and let you know there is a picker item. Then you can flick with one finger through the choices. For instance, in the calendar there is a place for date and time. For the time which begins in the middle at bottom of screen, it will say a time (9:00 picker item). If you flick in this area the numbers will Begin to scroll. So if you want 10:30, first flick up to go to 10, spoken. Move to the right and it will say 00. Flick up again until you hear 30. Now move to the right and it will say AM and you can set AM an PM.

Anyhow, I for some reason thought it was $9.99, but when I just checked on the Apple Store it says it is $19.99. While BlindSquare does a bit more than Sendero LookAround, I nonetheless find it interesting that I don’t ever remember hearing people complain about the price considering the fuss many folks made when Sendero LookAround was released and priced at $4.99. Anyhow, one thing I was wondering is when Blindsquare tells you about intersections. Does it announce the cross street just before you get to it? Also, Let’s say I get out of a bus and I want to know what the cross streets are, will it tell me if the nearest cross street is ahead or behind and would it tell you how far away it is?

I see Bookshare in a similar way, since I don't know how well Overdrive works for checking out accessible e-books to borrow, and I don't want to check out a library book and risk damaging it by scanning it.

Another advantage is how quickly we will be able to buy these books after they are issued as print copies. They probably are available through kindle within a few days of publication. The Nook, and Google Books services will have some of them, but Amazon has the largest number of eBooks.

RE: Recording from the iPhone to the iPhone?
Sean sorry that I did not get back to you sooner. I did not have luck trying to record something playing on the IPhone using a recording app on that same IPhone. I tried several applications, but each recording app would suspend what was playing as soon as they began recording. I guess you gathered what I was trying to do. I live in the Eastern time zone and follow the Giants who play most of their games in the Western time. So, it is past my bedtime when they start many games. I could replay the MLB television feed, but the announcers (one of them) is horrible to listen to and is not very descriptive for us nonvisual folks. I don't know why they will not allow us to replay audio games. I have tried recording off my ITouch to either a small Sony voice recorder or Bookport Plus. But, as either of those do fine for recording and playback, I do have to be awake to start the recording process. Then I get the occasional game like last Friday night when the San Francisco feed was horribly slow and kept dropping out throughout the game. It just happened to be one of those nights I could not sleep and could have just listened to the game live, but I really, really hoped to eventually fall asleep. By the way, either the BP or Sony digital will record forever, so I do not have to worry about stopping them. Thanks again for the suggestion, and I'll try any other ideas you might have. This just may be another price of living in the wrong place. Although, I still like to think of myself as just being misplaced for a long, long time -- 22 years now. The best!

RE: using the app store question.
Hi Simon, If you can sign in to the Apple Store on the computer and not on the phone it means that you either type your email or your password incorrectly. There are a few things you can do: First, I have a keyboard shortcut set up for my email address since many websites ask for my email to log in. I use EEP (double e and a p) for my personal email and EEB (that's a double E and a B) for my business email. Any 2 or 3 letter combination is fine, but it's good to use a letter combination that doesn't necessarily happen a lot at the beginning of a word. You can set up keyboard shortcuts in Settings, General, Keyboard and Shortcuts. Tap the Add button at the top right of the screen, then fill in your word, phrase or email address and the shortcut you want to use. When you type the shortcut, for example, if you set up SW for Simon Wong, then after you type SW you have to make sure you type a space or return because that is what tells iOS that this shortcut is supposed to expand. That usually means that after you type the email shortcut in a login field you type a space, but it's a good idea to delete that space again because some websites won't recognize your email address if there is a space behind it. Now, as for the password, you can't use shortcuts here for security reasons. I suggest you open an app like Notes and practice typing your password which allows you to review it afterwards letter by letter to make sure you have it correct especially if there is upper and lower case, numbers and/or special characters. It is also a good idea to flick out of the password field and back into it to hear Voiceover say 8 characters, 10 characters or whatever the number of characters in your password is. Since the characters are hidden you only hear character, but at least Voiceover says how many characters there are and if you know how many characters your password has at least you know that you didn't accidently type a character too many or are short a character.

Re: Navigation using Iphone in India
There's MapQuest, which I also suggested. I'm not sure if it's available in India though. The only thing I find inaccessible about Google Maps is that the start button doesn't show up in VoiceOver. To get around this, I turn off VoiceOver and tap the lower right hand corner of the screen to start the spoken turn by turn directions. I have reported this to Google.

Re: Recording from the iPhone to the iPhone?
I figured that this may be the case. Tip for you. If you're up at 3:00 AM eastern. The Giants do a mid-night replay on their flagship station KNBR. You'd have to pull it up either in iHeart or on tapin on your computer. Or, if you already have a subscribtion to at bat, if you connect your accounts. You can listen at anytime on gameday audio on your computer. I love the Giants announcing crew. In my opinion, they're the best in the business. Yes, all 4 of them. But, I do agree with you that it is very difficult for those of us who are visually impaired to follow a tv feed. I will say this. John Miller is one of the best on tv. You can be sighted be in another room know exactly what is going on on the game on tv with him. However, he's even better on the radio. Oh well, I digress, I could talk this sort of stuff all day long. However, this list wouldn't appreciate that. So, if you'd care to continue this discussion or anyone else for that matter.

Sean sorry that I did not get back to you sooner. I did not have luck trying to record something playing on the IPhone using a recording app on that same IPhone.

I live in the Eastern time zone and follow the Giants who play most of their games in the Western time. So, it is past my bedtime when they start many games. I could replay the MLB television feed, but the announcers (one of them) is horrible to listen to and is not very descriptive for us nonvisual folks. I don't know why they will not allow us to replay audio games. I have tried recording off my ITouch to either a small Sony voice recorder or Bookport Plus.

It just happened to be one of those nights I could not sleep and could have just listened to the game live, but I really, really hoped to eventually fall asleep. By the way, either the BP or Sony digital will record forever, so I do not have to worry about stopping them. Thanks again for the suggestion, and I'll try any other ideas you might have.

Kindle -- did I get the right app?
I just downloaded what I hope is the accessible Kindle app for IOS devices. I used the word Kindle in the search field and got 68 responses. I selected the first because most were obviously not what I wanted but also because there was little meaningful info about the ones which were most promising. When I opened the app I chose, the first thing I see is a request for my Amazon user name and password. This I expected. But it appeared that there were some unlabeled buttons. So I decided to post this before going any further. Please, if you would, give me some pointers as to what I should find on the opening screen of the correct app. Thank you.

Re: turn by turn
Google maps isn't difficult but the map is just abominable around here and it's walking directions are dangerous. I used it a couple of times to try and get to clients, once in port colbourne where it walked me a sort of figure 8 around the block where the bus dropped off, then gave me 5 directions at once and told me I'd arrived at my destination. Once in Bradfort where it ignored the lighted intersection not 50 paces behind me and tried to tell me to thump right across the main highway extension through the town. No crosswalk, no nothing. So, google maps is not my friend. Navigon did alright on my ITouch 4th gen though. I had it fired up with an old xgps cradle and it did alright. It's 40 bucks for the canadian version, but maybe if we're lucky the seeing eye app will come out before science figures out how to genetically grow all of us new eyes and we'll have a fully functioning gps for more than twice the price.

Re: Justification for using Kindle vs. downloading from Bookshare
,one thing which I'm wondering about is what's the real difference in using books from Bookshare VS Kindle since none of it is free. Bookshare still costs money, and so do Kindle books. What if you get a yearly subscription to Bookshare and then only get a few books a month from it. Does the cost end up being less or more than if you just purchased which ever books you want from Kindle, Nook, or iBooks? Or is the attraction to Bookshare the fact that it's specifically geared to print disabled like blind people. maybe I too am missing the point here. I don't particularly care for Bookshare, but through no fault of their own, I just never saw a need for myself personally. NLS is another one which I have used a lot, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather get the commercial audio books from Audible.com or purchase the electronic books from Barnes and Noble or Amazon. Yes, it's true that many people read many books by never buying them, getting them from the library or from a friend, ETC. Yet it's also true that just as many people also buy them, whether it's audio or not. I don't know what my point to this message is really other than just to agree with Kara in that if we have the equality like others, then that is best in my opinion. -- Raul A.

Re: turn by turn
Hi Sieghard. I'm testing the Duel Electronics XGPS 150A. Ebony consulting is a reseller for this unit. IPod touch and Ipad don't have a GPS receiver built in and they require a unit like this external to do gps navigation. I don't have an IPhone to test on, but I'm a bit old school. Back when I was using IPaq windows mobile phones, the receivers were good most of the time, but my IBlue 737 was great all the time, It was consistently accurate to 3 metres even in overcast or urban canyon. I'm travelling every day for work, often in unfamiliar areas. So, I loved the accuracy. I also appreciated the extended battery life. The duel and the IBlue both have 30 hour usage batteries which makes them a bit chunky, but goes a long way to extend the battery life of the phone. I need that phone to be a phone because I could be stuck in extreme weather, held up in traffic, lost, late, hit by a car… I have to be able to make emergency calls and stay in touch with clients. The more I could get out of a charge, the better. That's especially true now that I check email, listen to radio, skype people, handle bookings and support calls all on the road from my phone. I'm using a google nexus 4 right now and it supports the XGPS. So, I'm eventually going to get my hands on Nearby Explorer and compare the accuracy of the XGPS and the internal on the nexus 4. Even if the accuracy is the same though, and even considering that I've been getting three days out of each charge, I think I'll probably stick with an external gps receiver for the extremely high end uses I plan to put it too. You know, the cost is pretty steep, and there aren't that many blind people who do the senseless amount of travel I do. So, for a lot of users the external might not be worth it. It might be true that for you, the accuracy and uptime of the phone gps is up to your needs and it wouldn't really be a benefit to you to sink money into an external. For me though, it just makes sense.

RE: Justification for using Kindle vs. downloading from Bookshare
Hi All, I do realize that this topic -- Kindle vs Bookshare etc. -- is in danger of slipping out of the range of VoiceOver and the iPhone, and relevant topics for this list. And, I don't have any real disagreement with anything that has been said in this discussion so far. But books are so very important to me, and reading makes such a difference in my life -- as I know it does for others on this list -- that I couldn't help but chiming in. I'll try to keep it relevant to this list. 1. Growing up, I felt starved for books. I loved the NLS service, and eagerly awaited the next shipment of books; but I so envied my friends whose access to books was so exponentially greater than mine. Every year, before the school year started, I, or my parents, or Vision Teacher' would begin the scramble to get a textbook list and to get those books translated into a form where I could use them. Often there would be some glitch or another and I'd be without a book for some portion of the semester. When the Optacon came along, I got out a book that I had always wanted to read, and I read it -- very slowly and laboriously. In 1980, our school district got a Kurzweil reading machine. It was about the size of a photo copier, and it was accurate about 50% of the time. Other advances came along, but as I became an adult, and had to pay out of pocket for new technologies, much of that technology was beyond my means. 2. Finally, more access technology is available to me, and to others. Reading is just one small -- but incredibly important -- way my life has been transformed and enriched by technology. Not the least of those is my iPhone, which now gives me access to books from Bookshare, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Audible, the iTunes bookstore, various ePubs and books in other file formats, learning Ally (though I'm not a member), and soon, NLS. I feel like a kid at a candystore. I am awash in books, and it is absolutely amazing to me. 3. I understand the argument to support mainstream book providers like Amazon by putting our money where are mouth is, so to speak. At the same time, Bookshare's mission is to make printed material available to everyone who has a barrier to printed materials. Maybe there will be a time when that kind of mission isn't needed, and maybe we're far closer to that day then any of us dreamed of, but, for now, that mission is still needed. So, I will keep supporting Bookshare too. It's really worth reading their mission statement. 4. For all of us who love books and who are working to have equal opportunities, are work isn't done. I applaud Amazon for finally coming out with an accessible app, that is far superior to the plug-in for pc that has been the only option thus far. But, an accessible Kindle is still an important goal for me, and if nothing else, the iPhone proves that it can be done, and done well. I also know that all of our advances are fragile and we need to stay vigilant. 5. I know especially that there are plenty of blind and other disabled folks out there who can't afford an iPhone, and for whom even a $50 Bookshare membership is still an extravagance. I want to make sure they aren't left behind either. 6. And finally, just the other day I began a hunt for a book that I read about in the New York Times and was interested in reading. I began at Bookshare. Not there. Then Audible, then Kindle, then Barnes and Noble and iTunes. Nope, not there. Maybe the publisher has some restriction on electronic or other publication; maybe its niche market is too small. I don't know. But, I guess, if I really want to read it, I'm going to have to OCR it. It's a reminder that we're still not there yet. Ok, so maybe I did stray a little bit off topic.

Re: bluetooth question.
Hi, The Plantronics M50 is good for this if you want privacy and something which won't jab into your ear. The rubber part rests on the ridge of your ear, just before it goes into the canal. If you don't want to hear it, you can pull it out a little and it will still stay on, but give you total access to hearing what's around you. It's also only for one ear, but the hook can easily swivel to be used with either ear. For the longest time this was the number 1 bluetooth ear piece sold on Amazon in the cell phone accessory category. The cost is around $29 and you get that with free shipping. Good luck. -- Raul A.

Re: BlindSquare - price and a question
I bought Blind Square for 6 dollars, and at that time someone said that was less that half price of the 14 dollars. It sounds like Blind Square's gone up in price! A new upgrade just came through where intersections are given closer to the street crossing. There's a Look Around feature you can use where you point the phone in a direction and you'll be told what's in that direction. There's also a Location button that tells you where you are and where the intersections all around you are as you swipe through them. Hope this helps.

Re: Justification for using Kindle vs. downloading from Bookshare
Let me put it real simple by saying, it matters not where you get your books from. Be that Bookshare, NLS, Kindle app for iPhone, iBooks or BookNook. What matters is we all are different and have varying preferences and as I said this morning, choice is great! - Original Message - From: Raul A. Gallegos To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 1:43 PM Subject: Re: Justification for using Kindle vs. downloading from Bookshare ,one thing which I'm wondering about is what's the real difference in using books from Bookshare VS Kindle since none of it is free. Bookshare still costs money, and so do Kindle books. What if you get a yearly subscription to Bookshare and then only get a few books a month from it. Does the cost end up being less or more than if you just purchased which ever books you want from Kindle, Nook, or iBooks? Or is the attraction to Bookshare the fact that it's specifically geared to print disabled like blind people. maybe I too am missing the point here. I don't particularly care for Bookshare, but through no fault of their own, I just never saw a need for myself personally. NLS is another one which I have used a lot, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather get the commercial audio books from Audible.com or purchase the electronic books from Barnes and Noble or Amazon. Yes, it's true that many people read many books by never buying them, getting them from the library or from a friend, ETC. Yet it's also true that just as many people also buy them, whether it's audio or not. I don't know what my point to this message is really other than just to agree with Kara in that if we have the equality like others, then that is best in my opinion. -- Raul A.

Having said that, there are 2 differences in my view. 1. Although BookShare has a lot of books, Amazon has way more. If I can find the book on Bookshare, I would naturally take the free download. If the book isn't on BookShare and I really want it and can find it on Amazon, I buy it. 2. the other advantage being really picky, is that Amazon books are always true digital copies whereas in many cases, the books on bookShare are scanned copies, not that they are poor quality but not true digital copies found on amazon. Regardless, BookShare is an awesome service and I'm happy to also have it as an option.

I have Read2Go Voice Dream apps on the phone to accomplish this. What features in the Kindle app is unique to app that is not in the other apps? Input on this would be great. Thanks in advance.

Re: Justification for using Kindle vs. downloading from Bookshare
I am glad that Kindle made their app accessible. I'm glad that it's just another option for me when I'm looking at books for my college degree. Most of the books that I need are not on bookshare or any of the blindness related bookstores. I also like the fact that I can get the books that my sighted peers are getting at the same price. I don't mind buying books at all. I don't know why people are always wanting stuff for free, your going to have to spend money and I for one am grateful to do so to show my appreciation to amazon for making their app accessible.

As someone else pointed out, Bookshare is kind of like a library. Well, admittedly, you can keep the books from Bookshare. But now that I am able to, I view it as a way to check out a book and read it, then find it if I like it and purchase. It's what my Mom did with print books. Still does. She'll go to the library, check out a copy, read it, and if she likes it, will purchase it in hardcover or Kindle. I see Bookshare in a similar way, since I don't know how well Overdrive works for checking out accessible e-books to borrow, and I don't want to check out a library book and risk damaging it by scanning it. I'm ore than happy to shell out money when I have it, though, to get books, especially now. Reading with the Kindle app is so slick, even compared to iBooks.

Now that we have a much greater accessibility to a vast library of books which we never had before, might it be a good idea to take one more step toward equality by purchasing books and only using BookShare as a last resort when we cannot find a book we need / really want? This to me at least, fosters equality and a sense of empowerment. Yes? This also shows the makers of accessible reading apps and platforms that we not only appreciate their work but value their work. Not to mention the fact that we are now able to contribute to an author in the same way as the literate population as a whole does. This is truly an important and valuable thing, is it not? Thanks so much for such a great thread! Y'all rock!

It was stated, in a recent Tech Doctor podcast, that this number is 1.8 million (I have not confirmed this.) Not all these books will be readable with this app (the ones that are images), and not all books on Amazon are available through Kindle, but just having such a large number of readable books is the biggest advantage. Another advantage is how quickly we will be able to buy these books after they are issued as print copies. They probably are available through kindle within a few days of publication. The Nook, and Google Books services will have some of them, but Amazon has the largest number of eBooks. That having been written, as a blind reader, because I could not own books at a reasonable price, I am very use to borrowing and reading books, and until recently, returning them. So, I assure you, I check Bookshare, Bard, Learning Ally, or any other legal source from which I can borrow and read books, before I buy them. Arnold Schmidt - Original Message -
