I appreciate that they got back to me, and in a very timely manner. Peter, Thank you for your question about Apple Watch Accessibility. Yes, we do have support in Apple Watch for accessibility, that information will be posted on apple.com shortly. Below are the marketing descriptions of the Accessibility features for Apple Watch. Phil ——— VoiceOver VoiceOver is a gesture-based screen reader that uses the speaker on Apple Watch. It tells you everything that’s happening on the screen and helps you navigate it — even if you can’t see it. VoiceOver on Apple Watch is compatible with built-in apps and is available in all 14 supported languages. Font Adjustment Activate Larger Dynamic Type to increase the text size for a range of Apple Watch apps, including Mail, Messages, and Settings — and even some third-party apps — to make it easier to read. You can also choose Bold Text to make the text heavier across built-in apps. Zoom With Apple Watch, it’s easy to zoom in on your content by using the Digital Crown to move across the screen by rows. With magnification up to 15 times the native size, Zoom helps you enjoy all that Apple Watch has to offer. Grayscale If your vision is impaired by color, Apple Watch lets you enable grayscale onscreen. Once you set the filter, the settings apply systemwide, so you’ll see only shades of gray on the Home screen, apps, and more. Extra Large Watch Face Apple Watch has many different faces that you can change and customize. One of them is an extra large watch face — with numbers that take up the entire screen — that makes it easier to view the time. Reduce Transparency For features like alerts, Siri, and Glances, you can increase the contrast on your Apple Watch screen by reducing the background transparency. On/Off Labels To make it easier to see whether a setting is on or off, you can have Apple Watch show an additional label on the on/off switch. Reduce Motion When you turn on Reduce Motion, ﰆﰉﰃﰚﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰔﰃﰦﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰆﰃﰔﰏﰅﰆﰊﰛﰏﰏﰁﰅﰏﰌﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰆﰜﰅﰡﰃﰛﰅﰏﰞﰍﰔﰚﰌﰏﰜﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰚﰍﰛﰍﰌﰌﰍﰞﰅﰏﰄﰏﰊﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰈﰊﰃﰁﰆﰆﰉﰃﰚﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰔﰃﰦﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰆﰃﰔﰏﰅﰆﰊﰛﰏﰏﰁﰅﰏﰌﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰆﰜﰅﰡﰃﰛﰅﰏﰞﰍﰔﰚﰌﰏﰜﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰚﰍﰛﰍﰌﰌﰍﰞﰅﰏﰄﰏﰊﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰈﰊﰃﰁﰆﰆﰉﰃﰚﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰔﰃﰦﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰆﰃﰔﰏﰅﰆﰊﰛﰏﰏﰁﰅﰏﰌﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰆﰜﰅﰡﰃﰛﰅﰏﰞﰍﰔﰚﰌﰏﰜﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰚﰍﰛﰍﰌﰌﰍﰞﰅﰏﰄﰏﰊﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰈﰊﰃﰁﰆsome screen elements no longer move.

Re: A Question About The New Emoji Keyboard in iOS 8.3
Christina, When you are in an edit box and you bring up the emojy keyboard, in the bottom left corner is the switch to button, then the recently used button, then the buttons for the different categories of symbols. This morning I switched to the emojy keyboard, changed my typing to standard typing, then double tapped the people category. I then put my finger where the emojy symbols started and started flicking right. I never came to a page chooser and must have gone through between 30-50 symbols before I found the one I wanted. You could use the same method but put your finger on the switch keyboard button and flick left, and you would be going from last to first. And remember when you choose the symbol you want, to switch back to touch typing or whatever method you usually use. Have fun, Wayne On 4/9/15, Christina blindmaclo...@gmail.com wrote: I cannot find all of the symbols. I also cannot figure out how to bring up the different skin tones.

I looked at the emojy keyboard earlier briefly, and it seemed that there were 4 lines of symbols where before there were 3. Also, VoiceOver was more descriptive in reading each symbol. For example, instead of saying face with clenching teeth, it said grinning face with clenching teeth. I found other instances of that on the symbols that I use most often.

Here is how the emoji keyboard is laid out now. There are now 8 categories of emoji's. The tabs are along the bottom. A few new emoji's have been added. The reason it seems as though that there is less is because each of the individual categories are no longer listed in pages per category. There is now one long list of emoji's with no clear division of each category. To make his clearer, if you choose the People tab, you are now able to swipe through all of the categories without choosing the next category tab. Donna Hello Everyone, You know, I was going to update my 5 S from 8.2 to 8.3 just after I updated my 6 Plus to 8.3. Then, for whatever reason, I decided to hold off and do a little comparison of various features. I'm sitting here fiddling with the new Emoji keyboard and, from my perspective, there does not appear to be as many symbols as in 8.2. I realize that I must be missing something but, for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it is. In 8.2, when using the Emoji keyboard, there are several tabs at the bottom of the keyboard. Above the keyboard, there are sub-pages listed as page 1, page 2, etc. The pages at the top offer more symbols that exist in the category that is selected at the bottom. Now, in 8.3, as far as I can tell, there are no sub-pages per category but rather 20-pages, altogether. Of course I realize that some of the symbols now offer varying skin tones that may be accessed by a double-tap and hold but, even with this, from my perspective, there seems to be fewer symbols from which to choose. Perhaps there is a new gesture I'm missing or something. I would appreciate any feedback on this as I am a little confused.

Re: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
Almost, for those who use braille displays. I can do much much more with a braille display than I can with an Apple watch in terms of interacting with my phone. And all my apps are supported already. The only thing it can do that my display can't is connect to my iPhone via wifi. That, and provide haptic feedback. Is that worth $350 plus? Not to me. I'd rather be a later adopter and have a more stable product that I'll end up paying the same amount of money for.

Re: In braille input mode, how do i know where the keys start?
Character echo does work, but only in 6 dot mode. If you use contracted braille, dots are not spoken as you type. I use word feedback so I can hear what I've written when I do the space gesture.

Alex, Thank you for this comprehensive set of instructions. They are perfect! I had tried the braille input a few times since I upgraded to IOS 8 (and above), but gave up in frustration.

Re: Family sharing questions.
Unless Apple just changed the policy, it is 6 total people, the Organizer and 5 more. If the app says that Family Purchase is Yes in the app store description, then in-app purchases should be covered. Exactly how that works I'm not sure. I'd recommend calling Apple Accessibility and asking them to clarify.

You will be the organizer so if they make a purchases not from the purchases section under family but if they purchase an app from the app store that requires payment it will be charged to your account. In other words you will be paying for every one's purchase that is a part of family sharing. If some one wants to download an app that you have already purchased then they have to go to for example iTunes purchased content go to iTunes choose more and then choose purchased and then they have to double tap one of the name of the family member's purchases they want to view. If they want to view app store purchases then they have to go to app store. Then go to updates. Then go to purchased. Then double tap the name of the family members purchases they want to view. Another thing is that with family sharing you also get a family calendar as well wheir you can keep up with family events. There is more to family sharing but that should give you a little bit of how family sharing works.

Hi Rick, Am I right to assume that all calls you take on your watch will be with open speaker and therefore, not private? If I'm on a bus, restaurant or any other public place, I don't really like the idea of people around me hearing the other end of the conversation, so short as it may be. I've been using a cell phone for 25 years and it took me a long time even to accept the idea of answering my phone in public. Maybe that's because there weren't very many cell phones around and too many people who had them talked as loud as they could so that everyone around realized they were important enough to have a cell phone. Back then, I was totally blind and a piano tuner and loved my phone because I was on the road all day and found it very convenient to be able to call my next customer for instructions to get to their house and not to pretend that I was a very famous brain surgeon who had to be on call at all times.

I look forward to not having to take my phone off of my belt case every time a notification comes in and getting haptec alerts on my wrist. 3. I also look forward to being able to read and reply to text messages via the watch again without having to fumble for my phone. 4. Making and receiving calls right on the watch also really appeals to me. After reading the many hands-on reviews around, I'm sure there will be some other functions that I'll use daily. I think it's really a matter of convenience. I do agree however that it won't be for everyone and the things that appeal to me might be a turn off for others. My only concern is that it's a 1.0 product and I think we all know how that could go but again the geek in me says go for it Dude!

Apple Watch
Hi all, I replied to a couple of people on here yesterday re Apple watch but it appears my messages didn’t get through as they’re not in my sent mailbox so I’ll put my thoughts all together. I won’t be preordering one as I can’t justify the expense at the moment and it will make a good Christmas present I think. It would be good to get in at the beginning though and it will be hard waiting. Smile. As to why I want one: My main reason I have to confess is to play with to see what I can do. Looking at a long article someone posted here it’s somewhat complicated so there’s likely to be plenty of fun and games. Smile. I’d originally thought of getting the Apple Watch but think maybe I’ll get the sport model as this is the first generation and if it’s successful it will improve in time and then spending more will be of more value, especially as according to the same article the battery life isn’t long. A day would be fine for me but with Voiceover I’d expect to get somewhat less, particularly as it’s likely, at least at first, to take longer to do things with it. Another reason I want one is the ability to use it over WIFI which hopefully will mean I won’t have to keep my phone as close by as with my bluetooth earpiece which doesn’t work all over the house. I can hardly wait to hear how it works with Voiceover and look forward to the findings of those of you who will get it soon.

Give it time. I've noticed sometimes when the updates come out, my phone doesn't see them immediately. If I wait a few days it will show in Settings.

I appreciate that they got back to me, and in a very timely manner. Peter, Thank you for your question about Apple Watch Accessibility. Yes, we do have support in Apple Watch for accessibility, that information will be posted on apple.com shortly. Below are the marketing descriptions of the Accessibility features for Apple Watch. Phil â—————— ”—————— VoiceOver VoiceOver is a gesture-based screen reader that uses the speaker on Apple Watch. It tells you everything that’s happening on the screen and helps you navigate it — even if you can’t see it. VoiceOver on Apple Watch is compatible with built-in apps and is available in all 14 supported languages. Font Adjustment Activate Larger Dynamic Type to increase the text size for a range of Apple Watch apps, including Mail, Messages, and Settings — and even some third-party apps — to make it easier to read. You can also cchoose Bold Text to make the text heavier across built-in apps. Zoom With Apple Watch, it’s easy to zoom in on your content by using the Digital Crown to move across the screen by rows. With magnification up to 15 times the native size, Zoom helps you enjoy all that Apple Watch has to offer. Grayscale If your vision is impaired by color, Apple Watch lets you enable grayscale onscreen. Once you set the filter, the settings apply systemwide, so you’ll see only shades of gray on the Home screen, apps, and more. Extra Large Watch Face Apple Watch has many different faces that you can change and customize. One of them is an extra large watch face — with numberrs that take up the entire screen — that makes it easier to view the time. Reduce Transparency For features like alerts, Siri, and Glances, you can increase the contrast on your Apple Watch screen by reducing the background transparency. On/Off Labels To make it easier to see whether a setting is on or off, you can have Apple Watch show an additional label on the on/off switch. Reduce Motion When you turn on Reduce Motion, ô °†ô °‰ô °ƒô °šô °…ô °‰ô °‹ô ° ô °…ô °”ô °ƒô °¦ô ° ô °”ô ° ô ° ô °‰ô °…ô °ƒô °¡ô °…ô °†ô °ƒô °”ô ° ô °…ô °†ô °Šô °›ô ° ô ° ô ° ô °…ô ° ô °Œô ° ô °”ô ° ô ° ô °‰ô °†ô °œô °…ô °¡ô °ƒô °›ô °…ô ° ô °žô ° ô °”ô °šô °Œô ° ô °œô °…ô °‰ô °‹ô ° ô °…ô °šô ° ô °›ô ° ô °Œô °Œô ° ô °žô °…ô ° ô °„ô ° ô °Šô °‰ô °…ô °ƒô °¡ô °…ô °ˆô °Šô °ƒô ° ô °†ô °†ô °‰ô °ƒô °šô °…ô °‰ô °‹ô ° ô °…ô °”ô °ƒô °¦ô ° ô °”ô ° ô ° ô °‰ô °…ô °ƒô °¡ô °…ô °†ô °ƒô °”ô ° ô °…ô °†ô °Šô °›ô ° ô ° ô ° ô °…ô ° ô °Œô ° ô °”ô ° ô ° ô °‰ô °†ô °œô °…ô °¡ô °ƒô °›ô °…ô ° ô °žô ° ô °”ô °šô °Œô ° ô °œô °…ô °‰ô °‹ô ° ô °…ô °šô ° ô °›ô ° ô °Œô °Œô ° ô °žô °…ô ° ô °„ô ° ô °Šô °‰ô °…ô °ƒô °¡ô °…ô °ˆô °Šô °ƒô ° ô °†ô °†ô °‰ô °ƒô °šô °…ô °‰ô °‹ô ° ô °…ô °”ô °ƒô °¦ô ° ô °”ô ° ô ° ô °‰ô °…ô °ƒô °¡ô °…ô °†ô °ƒô °”ô ° ô °…ô °†ô °Šô °›ô ° ô ° ô ° ô °…ô ° ô °Œô ° ô °”ô ° ô ° ô °‰ô °†ô °œô °…ô °¡ô °ƒô °›ô °…ô ° ô °žô ° ô °”ô °šô °Œô ° ô °œô °…ô °‰ô °‹ô ° ô °…ô °šô ° ô °›ô ° ô °Œô °Œô ° ô °žô °…ô ° ô °„ô ° ô °Šô °‰ô °…ô °ƒô °¡ô °…ô °ˆô °Šô °ƒô ° ô °† some screen elements no longer move.

Re: iOS 8.3 performance on older devices
I don't notice any degradation in performance on my 4S moving from IOS 8.2 to 8.3. As discussed previously on this list, performance increased markedly in one of the earlier dot releases of IOS 8, and in my experience, it hasn't regressed since then. On 04/09/2015 10:00 AM, Cristóbal wrote: Hello list, A question for those who are using older iPhones and iPads. I was curious to know what sort of performance folks are experiencing with this latest iOS 8.3 update. If it’s by any chance snappier in general than prior 8.0 versions or if it at least doesn’t slow the device down any more? My wife’es got a 4S that I plan on taking over from her for a second line once we upgrade my phone, but on the times I do use her phone, I notice that it’s really showing it’s age as far as sluggishness and responsiveness with Voiceover. She’s sighted and has an iPad anyway so performance as a whole on the phone is no big deal for her, but as I want to use it, I’d like an idea of what I can come to expect. As a second line, I don’t’ plan on using but the most basic apps for communication so video or audio streaming or games won’t be a concern. My guess is that 8.3 will probably be the last so called big update for the 4S but for possible bug fix type of updates. So whatever it is now, it will be. We’ve also got an old iPad 2 floating around here that’s getting long in the tooth that I’d like to update if it won’t slow it down any further. Anyway, hopefully those who have had a chance to play with it on their 4S or even iPad 2 can provide their observations/feedback.

You will be the organizer so if they make a purchases not from the purchases section under family but if they purchase an app from the app store that requires payment it will be charged to your account. In other words you will be paying for every one's purchase that is a part of family sharing. If some one wants to download an app that you have already purchased then they have to go to for example iTunes purchased content go to iTunes choose more and then choose purchased and then they have to double tap one of the name of the family member's purchases they want to view. If they want to view app store purchases then they have to go to app store. Then go to updates. Then go to purchased. Then double tap the name of the family members purchases they want to view. Another thing is that with family sharing you also get a family calendar as well wheir you can keep up with family events.

Hi there, See question below: 9 apr 2015 kl. 15:22 skrev Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com: I use word feedback so I can hear what I've written when I do the space gesture But don’t you get a lot of random characters typed when trying to find the positions for the braille keys?

recording audio note with evernote or other audio recorder
Hi. I was trying to record an audio note with evernote on my iphone 6. However, when I hit record, voiceover transfers its speech from the speakerphone to the earpiece. I've noticed this happens with other audio recording apps as well. So, how can I find the Done button without raising the phone to my ear and trying to listen to voiceover talk to me faintly? What if it's loud where I'm recording? Is there some gesture to stop the recording so I don't have to hunt and peck for the done button at the top of the screen? Why does voiceover route its audio to the earpiece when using the microphone? Any help on this is greatly appreciated because I want to record more audio notes thanks, dave --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Hi Rick, Am I right to assume that all calls you take on your watch will be with open speaker and therefore, not private? If I'm on a bus, restaurant or any other public place, I don't really like the idea of people around me hearing the other end of the conversation, so short as it may be. I've been using a cell phone for 25 years and it took me a long time even to accept the idea of answering my phone in public. Maybe that's because there weren't very many cell phones around and too many people who had them talked as loud as they could so that everyone around realized they were important enough to have a cell phone. Back then, I was totally blind and a piano tuner and loved my phone because I was on the road all day and found it very convenient to be able to call my next customer for instructions to get to their house and not to pretend that I was a very famous brain surgeon who had to be on call at all times.

Hi Mary. I currently alternate through 2 watches, a Tisot Silent T, and a watch that is both Braille and talking. I frequently use the BEM speaker band but it isn't a watch. Here are my reasons for getting the Apple watch. 1. I'm a geek and just can't help myself. (lol) 2. I look forward to not having to take my phone off of my belt case every time a notification comes in and getting haptec alerts on my wrist. 3. I also look forward to being able to read and reply to text messages via the watch again without having to fumble for my phone. 4. Making and receiving calls right on the watch also really appeals to me. After reading the many hands-on reviews around, I'm sure there will be some other functions that I'll use daily. I think it's really a matter of convenience. I do agree however that it won't be for everyone and the things that appeal to me might be a turn off for others. My only concern is that it's a 1.0 product and I think we all know how that could go but again the geek in me says go for it Dude!

Re: In braille input mode, how do i know where the keys start?
Hello, It appears that, even if one has set typing feedback to characters, they are not spoken out in Braille input. It's trial and error but works quite well once you get the hang of it. A work around is to type 1 character and backspace with left single finger swipe !hear what dots are being inputed. Interestingly, there used to be a half baked feature in 8.2 called explore mode. It is now gone completely if I'm right but gives me hope it's in the works. I'll ask accessibility about it. About dot calibration you have to start with dots 456 and then follow with 123 and should then hear Dots calibrated Hth, Ioana Sent from my iPhone On Apr 9, 2015, at 8:30 AM, Krister Ekstrom kris...@kristersplace.com wrote: Hello This may sound like a silly question so let me try to explain: I’m trying out the braille input mode in iOs8.3 and it appears that i have to have the rotor set to characters in order to know where the actual braille keys begin, right?

Re: Everyone, What do you consider when choosing a phone?
When I bought my iPhone, I first considered price, then whether I could use it purely as a phone: overall sound, ease of entering name and phone numbers; how easy to dial out; how easy to answer; how easy to enter menu choices where that was an issue. Then came how easy to text message since I had a friend who seemed solely to contact people in that matter.

Hi everyone, Hope you are doing well. I was wondering, what are some of the things you consider when buying a phone, either smartphone or basic phone? For example, some people must choose a phone that has physical keys, some people choose phone based on what blind-specific apps are on that platform, some people don't want touchscreen, and of course price. I'm doing a research and would love to know what are maybe top 5 to 7 things you consider. Just whatever things come to your mind right away. And please also kindly share with us what phone you're using now. It should be interesting to see how we choose our phone differently. Thanks a lot!

Update: Doubled Letters with external BlueTooth Keyboard
With iOS 8.3 on iPhone 6+, Logitech Keys-to-Go keyboard, I sometimes get doubled characters when typing. This appears to be a Voiceover related bug, since, if I tell Siri to turn Voiceover off, then turn Voiceover back on, the doubled characters go away and things work as they should. Question: In case this happens frequently, is there a touchscreen gesture to quickly turn VO off and on? Three finger triple tap turns speech on and off, which is apparently not the same thing.

Hello Peter. Please tell us how you dropped a note to Tim Cook? I want to hold both Apple and Humanware accountable for solving problems with IOS and the Brailliant braille displays. Thanks so much.

I appreciate that they got back to me, and in a very timely manner. Peter, Thank you for your question about Apple Watch Accessibility. Yes, we do have support in Apple Watch for accessibility, that information will be posted on apple.com shortly. Below are the marketing descriptions of the Accessibility features for Apple Watch. Phil ——— VoiceOver VoiceOver is a gesture-based screen reader that uses the speaker on Apple Watch. It tells you everything that’s happening on the screen and helps you navigate it — even if you can’t see it. VoiceOver on Apple Watch is compatible with built-in apps and is available in all 14 supported languages. Font Adjustment Activate Larger Dynamic Type to increase the text size for a range of Apple Watch apps, including Mail, Messages, and Settings — and even some third-party apps — to make it easier to read. You can also choose Bold Text to make the text heavier across built-in apps. Zoom With Apple Watch, it’s easy to zoom in on your content by using the Digital Crown to move across the screen by rows. With magnification up to 15 times the native size, Zoom helps you enjoy all that Apple Watch has to offer. Grayscale If your vision is impaired by color, Apple Watch lets you enable grayscale onscreen. Once you set the filter, the settings apply systemwide, so you’ll see only shades of gray on the Home screen, apps, and more. Extra Large Watch Face Apple Watch has many different faces that you can change and customize. One of them is an extra large watch face — with numbers that take up the entire screen — that makes it easier to view the time. Reduce Transparency For features like alerts, Siri, and Glances, you can increase the contrast on your Apple Watch screen by reducing the background transparency. On/Off Labels To make it easier to see whether a setting is on or off, you can have Apple Watch show an additional label on the on/off switch.

What I mean is you can share movies music books apps with each other. You will be the organizer so if they make a purchases not from the purchases section under family but if they purchase an app from the app store that requires payment it will be charged to your account. In other words you will be paying for every one's purchase that is a part of family sharing. If some one wants to download an app that you have already purchased then they have to go to for example iTunes purchased content go to iTunes choose more and then choose purchased and then they have to double tap one of the name of the family member's purchases they want to view. If they want to view app store purchases then they have to go to app store. Then go to updates. Then go to purchased. Then double tap the name of the family members purchases they want to view. Another thing is that with family sharing you also get a family calendar as well wheir you can keep up with family events. There is more to family sharing but that should give you a little bit of how family sharing works.

Here is how the emoji keyboard is laid out now. There are now 8 categories of emoji's. The tabs are along the bottom. A few new emoji's have been added. The reason it seems as though that there is less is because each of the individual categories are no longer listed in pages per category. There is now one long list of emoji's with no clear division of each category. To make his clearer, if you choose the People tab, you are now able to swipe through all of the categories without choosing the next category tab. Donna Hello Everyone, You know, I was going to update my 5 S from 8.2 to 8.3 just after I updated my 6 Plus to 8.3. Then, for whatever reason, I decided to hold off and do a little comparison of various features. I'm sitting here fiddling with the new Emoji keyboard and, from my perspective, there does not appear to be as many symbols as in 8.2. I realize that I must be missing something but, for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it is. In 8.2, when using the Emoji keyboard, there are several tabs at the bottom of the keyboard. Above the keyboard, there are sub-pages listed as page 1, page 2, etc. The pages at the top offer more symbols that exist in the category that is selected at the bottom. Now, in 8.3, as far as I can tell, there are no sub-pages per category but rather 20-pages, altogether. Of course I realize that some of the symbols now offer varying skin tones that may be accessed by a double-tap and hold but, even with this, from my perspective, there seems to be fewer symbols from which to choose. Perhaps there is a new gesture I'm missing or something. I would appreciate any feedback on this as I am a little confused.

Re: I think they fixed double letters on external keyboards
Hi Neal. Actually I've had it happen twice since the 8.3 update, and never before. The first time (last night) rebooting the phone solved the problem.

I assume it will be charged, but you won’t be able to sync with iTunes or do a backup to iTunes. If it’s your own computer there is no reason why you shouldn’t tap on “Trust”, if you ar using somebody elses computer just to charge then using the same reasoning it won’t hurt to say “Don’t trust”.

Re: Voiceover and Statistics
With all due respect, are you sure this is an Apple thing and not something related to those specific apps? Have you noticed it with other apps, or just these two? Wayne On 4/8/15, Shawn Krasniuk bbssh...@icloud.com wrote: Hey all. Now that I'm not required to keep my mouth shut about iOS 8.3 due to an NDA, I've noticed something strange with Voiceover when it comes to reading statistics in an app. I'll give you two examples of what I mean. In Sports Alerts before iOS 8.3, it would read your teams name, then read their record, like for example, Hawks, 59, 19, then the team that they're playing plus their record, and then the time. Now in iOS 8.3, Voiceover reads it like this: Hornets, Hawks, 59, 19, 33, 45, 6:30 PM. Another example of Voiceover's weird statistic reading is in Trivia Crack. Before iOS 8.3, it would say the current score of a game you're playing, then read who you're playing against, then they're level. Now in iOS 8.3, it reads your opponent's level, then their name, then how long you have left to play, and then the score last. Has anyone else experienced this weird reading of statistics in iOS 8.3? Do you think this is a bug or did Apple do this on purpose? -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

Re: 8.3 UPDATE ... ANYONE ELSE NOTICED ...
The outside calling is a good tip, and I have more than enough previous phones to do it myself with. Somethings I sell on, others I just don't for some reason. I know I have 4 with live simms with credit, plus odd ones in drawers rather forgotten, but work if I deal with them. I'll wait a bit for the upgrade, it is a bit hair-raising when you can't check how far it's got. The first thing I'd like to know with this update, is how responsive the end-call method is. I know it had been an issue and still is on my 5S. Thanks, RobH. - Original Message - From: carol.pearso...@googlemail.com carol.pearso...@googlemail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2015 11:05 PM Subject: 8.3 UPDATE ... ANYONE ELSE NOTICED ... Hi all, Well, sighs of relief here as I discover my 4S has finally come back to life ... but it wasn't as usual. I upgraded to 8.3 over Wifi, without using iTunes, as I just hate it ... I got the prompts to accept and waited, but things were obviously very busy with everyone upgrading and I never got any vocal feedback that anything was happening. Some while later I heard a few noises coming from VoiceOver, but they were only tiny fragments of words ... and then another silence. I was unable to determine exactly what was happening, but left well alone, had a cuppa etc. I got back to my phone, gently flicked a finger across and got nothing ... so wondered. I determined that I'd just sit it out and wait, if needed, for a friend to call by in the morning to ascertain what she could see on the screen. Then my husband said, Shall I call you and find out if your phone responds? I decided it couldn't hurt, since anyone could have called me during this upgrade period ... so he did. The phone rang, VoiceOver spoke and - finally - somehow - we're back in business again. Well, it wasn't as sstraightforward as most I've known but, well, that idea to call me was sure worth it!

Re: iOS 8.3 performance on older devices
iOS 8.3 is definitely very snappy on my 4s. The release notes do mention improvements in performance such as opening of apps and so on. Also, a lot of the VoiceOver related bugs we have come to live with since iOS 8.0 has been fixed, particularly the back button in Safari and general fixes to Braille including Braille Screen Input. On 9 Apr 2015, at 16:00, Cristóbal crismuno...@gmail.com wrote: Hello list, A question for those who are using older iPhones and iPads. I was curious to know what sort of performance folks are experiencing with this latest iOS 8.3 update. If it’s by any chance snappier in general than prior 8.0 versions or if it at least doesn’t slow the device down any more? My wife’es got a 4S that I plan on taking over from her for a second line once we upgrade my phone, but on the times I do use her phone, I notice that it’s really showing it’s age as far as sluggishness and responsiveness with Voiceover. She’s sighted and has an iPad anyway so performance as a whole on the phone is no big deal for her, but as I want to use it, I’d like an idea of what I can come to expect. As a second line, I don’t’ plan on using but the most basic apps for communication so video or audio streaming or games won’t be a concern. My guess is that 8.3 will probably be the last so called big update for the 4S but for possible bug fix type of updates. So whatever it is now, it will be. We’ve also got an old iPad 2 floating around here that’s getting long in the tooth that I’d like to update if it won’t slow it down any further. Anyway, hopefully those who have had a chance to play with it on their 4S or even iPad 2 observations/feedback. Thanks, -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Latest IOS update?
Hi Wayne, it may take some days for the badge to update, depending on when the phone checks for updates, but if you check manually, it's there at the same time for everyone. A few of my clients were tripped up yesterday by the fact that there is a focus issue in the iOS 8.2 updates screen. So some people aren't finding any reference to the update when they flick through the screen. If you explore the screen by touching it though, people eventually find that the update is indeed there.

Hi Rick, Am I right to assume that all calls you take on your watch will be with open speaker and therefore, not private? If I'm on a bus, restaurant or any other public place, I don't really like the idea of people around me hearing the other end of the conversation, so short as it may be. I've been using a cell phone for 25 years and it took me a long time even to accept the idea of answering my phone in public. Maybe that's because there weren't very many cell phones around and too many people who had them talked as loud as they could so that everyone around realized they were important enough to have a cell phone. Back then, I was totally blind and a piano tuner and loved my phone because I was on the road all day and found it very convenient to be able to call my next customer for instructions to get to their house and not to pretend that I was a very famous brain surgeon who had to be on call at all times.

I look forward to not having to take my phone off of my belt case every time a notification comes in and getting haptec alerts on my wrist. 3. I also look forward to being able to read and reply to text messages via the watch again without having to fumble for my phone. 4. Making and receiving calls right on the watch also really appeals to me. After reading the many hands-on reviews around, I'm sure there will be some other functions that I'll use daily. I think it's really a matter of convenience. I do agree however that it won't be for everyone and the things that appeal to me might be a turn off for others.

In braille input mode, how do i know where the keys start?
Hello This may sound like a silly question so let me try to explain: I’m trying out the braille input mode in iOs8.3 and it appears that i have to have the rotor set to characters in order to know where the actual braille keys begin, right? How else could i determine this without typing trange letters or signs at random? Looks like the keyboard for braille is always there as oposed to the standard keyboard that only pops up when a text field is editable. Also Voiceover tells me to calibrate the braille by moving and then lifting 3 fingers on one hand then 3 on the other, however no matter what i do, braille keyboard seems to be in the same place. Sorry for all these questions but i’m new to this part of the iPhone and try to determine if to use it or not. /Krister -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Voiceover and Statistics
I've noticed it in Dice World and Lire, despite neither app having been updated recently. It happened as soon as I installed 8.3, again with no app updates.

Now that I'm not required to keep my mouth shut about iOS 8.3 due to an NDA, I've noticed something strange with Voiceover when it comes to reading statistics in an app. I'll give you two examples of what I mean. In Sports Alerts before iOS 8.3, it would read your teams name, then read their record, like for example, Hawks, 59, 19, then the team that they're playing plus their record, and then the time. Now in iOS 8.3, Voiceover reads it like this: Hornets, Hawks, 59, 19, 33, 45, 6:30 PM. Another example of Voiceover's weird statistic reading is in Trivia Crack. Before iOS 8.3, it would say the current score of a game you're playing, then read who you're playing against, then they're level. Now in iOS 8.3, it reads your opponent's level, then their name, then how long you have left to play, and then the score last. Has anyone else experienced this weird reading of statistics in iOS 8.3?

Re: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
This is just a rough calculation, but an hour of iTunes+ audio, meaning stereo AAC (m4a) at 256kbps including metadata etc. is about 130MB. That into 2GB (2048MB) is about 15 hours of audio.

Hi Rick, Am I right to assume that all calls you take on your watch will be with open speaker and therefore, not private? If I'm on a bus, restaurant or any other public place, I don't really like the idea of people around me hearing the other end of the conversation, so short as it may be. I've been using a cell phone for 25 years and it took me a long time even to accept the idea of answering my phone in public. Maybe that's because there weren't very many cell phones around and too many people who had them talked as loud as they could so that everyone around realized they were important enough to have a cell phone. Back then, I was totally blind and a piano tuner and loved my phone because I was on the road all day and found it very convenient to be able to call my next customer for instructions to get to their house and not to pretend that I was a very famous brain surgeon who had to be on call at all times.

Hi Mary. I currently alternate through 2 watches, a Tisot Silent T, and a watch that is both Braille and talking. I frequently use the BEM speaker band but it isn't a watch. Here are my reasons for getting the Apple watch. 1. I'm a geek and just can't help myself. (lol) 2. I look forward to not having to take my phone off of my belt case every time a notification comes in and getting haptec alerts on my wrist. 3. I also look forward to being able to read and reply to text messages via the watch again without having to fumble for my phone. 4. Making and receiving calls right on the watch also really appeals to me. After reading the many hands-on reviews around, I'm sure there will be some other functions that I'll use daily. I think it's really a matter of convenience. I do agree however that it won't be for everyone and the things that appeal to me might be a turn off for others. My only concern is that it's a 1.0 product and I think we all know how that could go but again the geek in me says go for it Dude!

Re: A Question About The New Emoji Keyboard in iOS 8.3
I read an article about the new symbols in the emojy keyboard, and there are many more symbols and variations for different ethnic and ratial groups, along with a few other additions I'm sure. I looked at the emojy keyboard earlier briefly, and it seemed that there were 4 lines of symbols where before there were 3. Also, VoiceOver was more descriptive in reading each symbol. For example, instead of saying face with clenching teeth, it said grinning face with clenching teeth. I found other instances of that on the symbols that I use most often.

Here is how the emoji keyboard is laid out now. There are now 8 categories of emoji's. The tabs are along the bottom. A few new emoji's have been added. The reason it seems as though that there is less is because each of the individual categories are no longer listed in pages per category. There is now one long list of emoji's with no clear division of each category. To make his clearer, if you choose the People tab, you are now able to swipe through all of the categories without choosing the next category tab. Donna Hello Everyone, You know, I was going to update my 5 S from 8.2 to 8.3 just after I updated my 6 Plus to 8.3. Then, for whatever reason, I decided to hold off and do a little comparison of various features. I'm sitting here fiddling with the new Emoji keyboard and, from my perspective, there does not appear to be as many symbols as in 8.2. I realize that I must be missing something but, for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it is. In 8.2, when using the Emoji keyboard, there are several tabs at the bottom of the keyboard. Above the keyboard, there are sub-pages listed as page 1, page 2, etc. The pages at the top offer more symbols that exist in the category that is selected at the bottom. Now, in 8.3, as far as I can tell, there are no sub-pages per category but rather 20-pages, altogether. Of course I realize that some of the symbols now offer varying skin tones that may be accessed by a double-tap and hold but, even with this, from my perspective, there seems to be fewer symbols from which to choose. Perhaps there is a new gesture I'm missing or something. I would appreciate any feedback on this as I am a little confused.

RE: Whose ordering the Apple watch?
Hi, yes, the watch has a speaker, and calls taken on the watch behave like using a speaker phone. Of course you can use a BlueTooth headset in addition to the watch if concerned about privacy. That is what I've surmised from reading various reviews anyhow.

Hi Rick, Am I right to assume that all calls you take on your watch will be with open speaker and therefore, not private? If I'm on a bus, restaurant or any other public place, I don't really like the idea of people around me hearing the other end of the conversation, so short as it may be. I've been using a cell phone for 25 years and it took me a long time even to accept the idea of answering my phone in public. Maybe that's because there weren't very many cell phones around and too many people who had them talked as loud as they could so that everyone around realized they were important enough to have a cell phone. Back then, I was totally blind and a piano tuner and loved my phone because I was on the road all day and found it very convenient to be able to call my next customer for instructions to get to their house and not to pretend that I was a very famous brain surgeon who had to be on call at all times.

Hi Mary. I currently alternate through 2 watches, a Tisot Silent T, and a watch that is both Braille and talking. I frequently use the BEM speaker band but it isn't a watch. Here are my reasons for getting the Apple watch. 1. I'm a geek and just can't help myself. (lol) 2. I look forward to not having to take my phone off of my belt case every time a notification comes in and getting haptec alerts on my wrist. 3. I also look forward to being able to read and reply to text messages via the watch again without having to fumble for my phone. 4. Making and receiving calls right on the watch also really appeals to me. After reading the many hands-on reviews around, I'm sure there will be some other functions that I'll use daily. I think it's really a matter of convenience. I do agree however that it won't be for everyone and the things that appeal to me might be a turn off for others. My only concern is that it's a 1.0 product and I think we all know how that could go but again the geek in me says go for it Dude!

I appreciate that they got back to me, and in a very timely manner. Peter, Thank you for your question about Apple Watch Accessibility. Yes, we do have support in Apple Watch for accessibility, that information will be posted on apple.com shortly. Below are the marketing descriptions of the Accessibility features for Apple Watch. Phil ——— VoiceOver VoiceOver is a gesture-based screen reader that uses the speaker on Apple Watch. It tells you everything that’s happening on the screen and helps you navigate it — even if you can’t see it. VoiceOver on Apple Watch is compatible with built-in apps and is available in all 14 supported languages. Font Adjustment Activate Larger Dynamic Type to increase the text size for a range of Apple Watch apps, including Mail, Messages, and Settings — and even some third-party apps — to make it easier to read. You can also choose Bold Text to make the text heavier across built-in apps. Zoom With Apple Watch, it’s easy to zoom in on your content by using the Digital Crown to move across the screen by rows. With magnification up to 15 times the native size, Zoom helps you enjoy all that Apple Watch has to offer. Grayscale If your vision is impaired by color, Apple Watch lets you enable grayscale onscreen. Once you set the filter, the settings apply systemwide, so you’ll see only shades of gray on the Home screen, apps, and more. Extra Large Watch Face Apple Watch has many different faces that you can change and customize. One of them is an extra large watch face — with numbers that take up the entire screen — that makes it easier to view the time. Reduce Transparency For features like alerts, Siri, and Glances, you can increase the contrast on your Apple Watch screen by reducing the background transparency. On/Off Labels To make it easier to see whether a setting is on or off, you can have Apple Watch show an additional label on the on/off switch. Reduce Motion When you turn on Reduce Motion, ﰆﰉﰃﰚﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰔﰃﰦﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰆﰃﰔﰏﰅﰆﰊﰛﰏﰏﰁﰅﰏﰌﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰆﰜﰅﰡﰃﰛﰅﰏﰞﰍﰔﰚﰌﰏﰜﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰚﰍﰛﰍﰌﰌﰍﰞﰅﰏﰄﰏﰊﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰈﰊﰃﰁﰆﰆﰉﰃﰚﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰔﰃﰦﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰆﰃﰔﰏﰅﰆﰊﰛﰏﰏﰁﰅﰏﰌﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰆﰜﰅﰡﰃﰛﰅﰏﰞﰍﰔﰚﰌﰏﰜﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰚﰍﰛﰍﰌﰌﰍﰞﰅﰏﰄﰏﰊﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰈﰊﰃﰁﰆﰆﰉﰃﰚﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰔﰃﰦﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰆﰃﰔﰏﰅﰆﰊﰛﰏﰏﰁﰅﰏﰌﰏﰔﰏﰁﰉﰆﰜﰅﰡﰃﰛﰅﰏﰞﰍﰔﰚﰌﰏﰜﰅﰉﰋﰏﰅﰚﰍﰛﰍﰌﰌﰍﰞﰅﰏﰄﰏﰊﰉﰅﰃﰡﰅﰈﰊﰃﰁﰆsome screen elements no longer move.

iOS 8.3 performance on older devices
Hello list, A question for those who are using older iPhones and iPads. I was curious to know what sort of performance folks are experiencing with this latest iOS 8.3 update. If it’s by any chance snappier in general than prior 8.0 versions or if it at least doesn’t slow the device down any more? My wife’es got a 4S that I plan on taking over from her for a second line once we upgrade my phone, but on the times I do use her phone, I notice that it’s really showing it’s age as far as sluggishness and responsiveness with Voiceover. She’s sighted and has an iPad anyway so performance as a whole on the phone is no big deal for her, but as I want to use it, I’d like an idea of what I can come to expect. As a second line, I don’t’ plan on using but the most basic apps for communication so video or audio streaming or games won’t be a concern. My guess is that 8.3 will probably be the last so called big update for the 4S but for possible bug fix type of updates. So whatever it is now, it will be. We’ve also got an old iPad 2 floating around here that’s getting long in the tooth that I’d like to update if it won’t slow it down any further. Anyway, hopefully those who have had a chance to play with it on their 4S or even iPad 2 can provide their observations/feedback. Thanks, -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.

Re: 8.3 UPDATE ... ANYONE ELSE NOTICED ...
Hi, Not sure if anyone notest this, but if you receive an email while the phone is unlocked voiceover will read the rentire message body. Anyone here notest this. I find ths very strange since this was not the case in older verisions. Thanks.

Re: a very strange download problem when updating the new IOS 8.3
I had the same. I found that instead of flicking to the update content, I had to explore by touch. That got me to the various information on the screen, such as the buttons and progress info when the udpate had started. Not a deal breaker but an inconvenience to be sure. I was able to update just fine once I found the relevant material. Wayne On 4/9/15, brucemb bruce...@verizon.net wrote: Hi all.

Re: Family sharing questions.
Family sharing allows you and six other people with you being the organizer to share iTunes app store and ibook store purchases with each other. What I mean is you can share movies music books apps with each other. You will be the organizer so if they make a purchases not from the purchases section under family but if they purchase an app from the app store that requires payment it will be charged to your account. In other words you will be paying for every one's purchase that is a part of family sharing. If some one wants to download an app that you have already purchased then they have to go to for example iTunes purchased content go to iTunes choose more and then choose purchased and then they have to double tap one of the name of the family member's purchases they want to view. If they want to view app store purchases then they have to go to app store. Then go to updates. Then go to purchased. Then double tap the name of the family members purchases they want to view. Another thing is that with family sharing you also get a family calendar as well wheir you can keep up with family events. There is more to family sharing but that should give you a little bit of how family sharing works. Here is a link to more info about family sharing. https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/ Sent from my iPhone On Apr 8, 2015, at 7:34 PM, Mária Orovčíková maria.orovcik...@gmail.com wrote: Hello list, I have some questions about family sharing feature: 1.
