Some major, and annoying bags, with iOS eight, and the iPhone 4 ass

Hello everyone, I wanted to report some major bags I am having with iOS 8, and the iPhone 4 ass. I upgraded about two days ago, and it first I really liked it. I find the phone to respond a lot faster, and the speech seems to be a lot faster. However, I have noticed that sometimes voiceover wil

Re: Deleting a book in the current version of the audible app

Hmm, nothing like this is happening with me. The delete buttons work fine and so does the actions menu in the rotor with no difficulty. I wonder what the difference is that we are getting such different results. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-s

Re: Braille Display, Was iOS8: Enter Passcode with Braille Screen Input?

I had no problem with this in iOS7 but I just now figured it out in iOS8. Part of the problem was that I was I suppose being lazy and hadn't looked in settings to see what the defaults were now that input and output for braille displays are handled separately. What I finally did is this: I did c

Re: IOS 8 Released

Works with iOS 8 with limitations. Apple does their best to support older hardware, and does a better job than Google and Microsoft. Good luck getting the latest version "of Android working on a four year old Android phone. I also used to have similar problems getting new versions of Windows wor

Re: Deleting a book in the current version of the audible app

Hi again, I find the delete action very inconsistent in audible. There's a delete that enables removing books but it's not easy to get it to be selected. The action menu does not work but double-type and swipe left followed by double-tapp on the delete for that book also worked. As I said, pre

Re: What is audio ducking in iOS eight

If you turn this off, what will the phone do, or I should say, what will voice over do? Will what I am reading just continue, or will voice work at the same volume? Cathy & Pilot Dog, Tiny: -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the

Re: knfb reader: 5s OR 6?

Back in 2007, I worked with a company that was trying to develop a portable OCR system for the blind. We found that sighted people are able to keep the digital camera image extremely stable. Blind people, on the other hand, are unable to do this because we cannot see when the image moves and sha

Re: IOS 8 Released

No Pablo, that isn't the conclusion i would come to. iOS8 can run in a 4S but of course you can't expect it to run the same way as it would on a newere phone or to necessarily expect it to do everything the new iOS offers. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wad

Re: KNFB Reader, First Impressions

So we just got the reader today, and without sighted assistance we just activated our card. Talk about opening doors of opportunity. Wow Lelia Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 20, 2014, at 4:15 PM, Chuck Dean wrote: > > I was having a similar problem, with another app. My solution was I cleaned

RE: KNFB Reader, First Impressions

At one point on the AppleVis podcast, the demonstrator mentioned that it was important to first touch the screen with a finger to bring focus there, then to do a double tap. I don’t know if this is related to what you’re talking about, but it may be worth a try. From: viphone@googlegroups.com [

Re: Deleting a book in the current version of the audible app

It had never occurred to me to try that. I just followed the directions the way it was set up. But yes, I just did it now on a book. I didn't have to turn the rotor. Flicking up got "remove" and it did ask for confirmation but it is shorter than the other way. No need even to activate the first
