Boss Jock Junior, was: hhas any one tried the app called boss jock journiour
Hi, Just to help clarify, the app in the app store is called Boss Jock Jr which stands for Junior as in the little brother of the full-featured Podcasting app Boss Jock Studio. Boss Jock Jr is free whereas Boss Jock Studio is $9.99, but some in-app purchases are available. If, for example, you want to export your recording to MP3, you have to buy an in-app upgrade. By default your audio is saved to your camera roll as a video file in order to make it really easy to post it to social media sites. The app allows you to record your voice and to mix in sound effects, music and so on. Boss Jock Studio is praised by Podcasters for it's high recording quality, ease of use and for giving Podcasters the ability to produce high-quality Podcasts with just an iPhone and maybe an external microphone for even better results and for making it possible to do so entirely on an iPhone or iPad. Just as Boss Jock Studio, Boss Jock Jr is fully Voiceover compatible and it sounds like a fun app. Here is the app store link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bossjock-jr/id826651276?mt=8 Regards, Sieghard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of wui chin Leong Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2015 10:14 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: hhas any one tried the app called boss jock journiour it is a app where you can record audio from any iOS device. -- The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list.

Pre-orders open for iOS 9 Without the Eye
Hi everyone, I'm very pleased to let you know that pre-orders are now open for the next edition of the popular iOS Without the Eye series. Apple’s iOS, the mobile operating system powering iPhone®, iPad® and iPod Touch®, will experience a significant and exciting revamp with the release of iOS 9. Despite the fact that Apple has focussed on the stability of the operating system this time around, there is more that’s new than many people realise. That’s allowed me to produce a comprehensive new book on iOS 9 of roughly the same length as its iOS 8 equivalent. iOS 9 Without the Eye” is ready to be released on the same day Apple releases the operating system. When you master all of iOS 9’s potential, your iOS device will become an even more powerful tool. Make the most of what iOS 9 has to offer. Get up and running quickly and easily with a clearly-written, comprehensive, well-structured guide to all that’s new in iOS 9. For much more information about the book, and to pre-order your copy so you'll receive it on iOS release day, please visit this page. http://mosen.org/index.php/mosen-consulting-ebook-ios-9-without-the-eye/ http://mosen.org/index.php/mosen-consulting-ebook-ios-9-without-the-eye/ Thanks for your ongoing support of Mosen Consulting eBooks and tutorials, I really do appreciate it.

RE: Sonos was Re: bower and wilkins zepplin mini
Hi Krister, Yes, native Airplay support would be nice. When you mention an outdoor speaker, do you mean a water-resistant one or one that runs on batteries? Otherwise I certainly don't find it difficult to plug in my Play 5 on my deck, I have a couple of extra cables (they are just standard cables you can buy at any electronics store) so I have one in my woodworking shop and one on my deck and I just unplug the speaker in the living room and leave the cable behind and take it where I want it. I actually really hope that the next piece of Sonos hardware will be either a high-end stand-alone headset or a small headset amplifier with a rechargeable battery which you can clip on your belt and plug in any standard headset you want from Earpods to whatever high-quality headset you want to buy.

Other than that, i love my Sonos system and i don’t regret a single moment that i bought it. /Krister On 19 Aug 2015, at 16:48, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: Hi Steven, I don’t think the BW Zepplin requires or even has the option of an app. I am talking about the Sonos music system which gives you the option of 3 different stand-alone speakers as well as a TV soundbar, sbwover and 2 other players which either require regular bookshelf or tower speakers or powered speakers or a connection to an existing amplifier/receiver. All of the stand-alone speakers which are called the Play 1, Play 3 and Play 5 can be configured as a stereo pair if you buy 2 of the same and the Playbar can be setup with a set of Play 1 or Play 3 and a subwover for a full 5.1 surround setup. Sonos is more than just speakers, it connects to your music library on your computer and it cxonnects to the internet where you have access (via the app) to all the free radio from Tune In as well as just about every music service there is like for example Spotify, Deezer, Rdio, Rhapsody, Pandora, Slacker, Songza and many more. From what I read Sonos will add Apple Music support later in the year. Often the interface to deal with these services is easier than using a particular service’s app and overall Sonos offers a fantastic experience with very good audio quality. Each speaker/player has only 2 buttons, one is a play/pause button and the other is a volume up/down rocker. There is no on/off switch on any of the players as they are always on and as they use Class D amplifiers, they use virtually no power in standby/sleep mode, I believe it’s something like 1 Watt. With Sonos you don’t so much play music to the speakers but the speaker is access to your music although the Play 5 and the 2 other players which need regular speakers or a connection to a receiver also have an input which allows you to connect a traditional source device such as a CD player, laptop or portable player like VictorReader Stream. You can Airplay enable Sonos by connecting an Apple Airport Express to a player with an input. You then Airplay to the Airport Express and it will play on Sonos, but there is no native Airplay support which I would say is one of the few minor inconveniences. The same goes for Bluetooth, but then again you don’t really need Bluetooth support and while Sonos is not Airplay capable out of the box, you still can play any music that is on your iPhone directly to Sonos, just not the output from other apps. You can, of course, use a 3.5mm male to male cable if you have a Play 5 and connect your iPhone’s headphone jack to the 3.5mm input on the Sonos. Like I said, it’s a super versatile and scalable solution. In the US a Play 1 is $199, a Play 3 is $299, a Play 5 is $399 and the Playbar and Sonos Sub are $749 each. The system is completely wireless and all you have to do is place your speaker/player close enough to an electrical outlet to plug it in, then use the app to connect and configure it.

Sonos, was: bower and wilkins zepplin mini
Hi Marie, That depends entirely on your budget and whether you want audio in just a single room or in two or three rooms. You can get a single Play 1 for $199 (that is in US Dollars in the States) or if you want the best possible audio for a single room you could get two Play 5 and a Sonos Sub which would set you back about $1,550.00 Leave out the Sub and you still get great stereo sound with two Play 5 for $800 or with two Play 3 for $600. I’d be happy to chat via Facetime Audio if you want more direct help and want to ask questions and get an immediate answer.

However, I also think it probably doesn’t come cheap and I’d seriously consider getting something like a Sonos Play 5 or a pair of Sonos Play 3 instead because they are much more than just a speaker and the app to control them is wonderfully accessible. Furthermore, if you get 1 Sonos item you can build on that and add more later on and eventually have music everywhere in your house. I don’t want to repeat all I wrote about Sonos in the past, so just check out their website, www.sonos.com http://www.sonos.com , and also go to the list archive, search for Sonos and read some of the older posts.

Re: A stand for the KNFB reader
I think the question is not about a specific stand, but which one will offer the largest area of scannability based on the position of the phone. Since most offer optimal placement for the phone I'm fairly certain that which one is used will make very little difference because of the flexibility of the camera and the ability of the software to scan a somewhat larger area than what might be expected.

Re: Sonos was Re: bower and wilkins zepplin mini
Hi, I'm curious if you've ever had occasion to compare a pair of play5's versus a pair of play 3's and if so which did you like better in terms of sound when used as a pair. It is interesting to ponder if they'd ever come out with a battery powered speaker as some have suggested but I wonder how much power it'd need as it is a streaming device. Sonos systems are quite a lot of fun. Thanks for motivating me to buy one (smile).

All of the stand-alone speakers which are called the Play 1, Play 3 and Play 5 can be configured as a stereo pair if you buy 2 of the same and the Playbar can be setup with a set of Play 1 or Play 3 and a subwover for a full 5.1 surround setup. Sonos is more than just speakers, it connects to your music library on your computer and it cxonnects to the internet where you have access (via the app) to all the free radio from Tune In as well as just about every music service there is like for example Spotify, Deezer, Rdio, Rhapsody, Pandora, Slacker, Songza and many more. From what I read Sonos will add Apple Music support later in the year. Often the interface to deal with these services is easier than using a particular service’s app and overall Sonos offers a fantastic experience with very good audio quality. Each speaker/player has only 2 buttons, one is a play/pause button and the other is a volume up/down rocker. There is no on/off switch on any of the players as they are always on and as they use Class D amplifiers, they use virtually no power in standby/sleep mode, I believe it’s something like 1 Watt. With Sonos you don’t so much play music to the speakers but the speaker is access to your music although the Play 5 and the 2 other players which need regular speakers or a connection to a receiver also have an input which allows you to connect a traditional source device such as a CD player, laptop or portable player like VictorReader Stream. You can Airplay enable Sonos by connecting an Apple Airport Express to a player with an input. You then Airplay to the Airport Express and it will play on Sonos, but there is no native Airplay support which I would say is one of the few minor inconveniences. The same goes for Bluetooth, but then again you don’t really need Bluetooth support and while Sonos is not Airplay capable out of the box, you still can play any music that is on your iPhone directly to Sonos, just not the output from other apps. You can, of course, use a 3.5mm male to male cable if you have a Play 5 and connect your iPhone’s headphone jack to the 3.5mm input on the Sonos. Like I said, it’s a super versatile and scalable solution. In the US a Play 1 is $199, a Play 3 is $299, a Play 5 is $399 and the Playbar and Sonos Sub are $749 each. The system is completely wireless and all you have to do is place your speaker/player close enough to an electrical outlet to plug it in, then use the app to connect and configure it.

Re: Sonos was Re: bower and wilkins zepplin mini
Hi all, just chiming in here. Sonos Play 1 is stereo, its just single point stereo meaning that the two channels being left and right are combined into a single source output. This is not the same as mono as I often see it referred to as. The Play 3 can be either single point stereo when stood upright or serve as a stereo speaker in its own right when put lengthways. The key here is when upright it has more speaker capabilities for high and mid range frequency response, when placed lengthways it has two speakers serving as left and right and a third as the mids, but, this really does give the unit some flexibility. The Play 5 has only one position and has two left speakers and two right, highs and mids with a single base driver built in as the fifth speaker. I have both a pair of Play3’s and a pair of Play5’s, both sound cracking together however, of course the Play5’s sound better. You get more frequency response and more volume with the Play5 option overall, it also has a nicer richer sound to me. I use a pair of Play3’s as rears with a PlayBar for TV and this sounds equally good. Frankly though all Sonos sounds good, I have a few Play1’s scattered about and for basic sound listening, or audio book, these are more than fine.

Sonos is more than just speakers, it connects to your music library on your computer and it cxonnects to the internet where you have access (via the app) to all the free radio from Tune In as well as just about every music service there is like for example Spotify, Deezer, Rdio, Rhapsody, Pandora, Slacker, Songza and many more. From what I read Sonos will add Apple Music support later in the year. Often the interface to deal with these services is easier than using a particular service’s app and overall Sonos offers a fantastic experience with very good audio quality. Each speaker/player has only 2 buttons, one is a play/pause button and the other is a volume up/down rocker. There is no on/off switch on any of the players as they are always on and as they use Class D amplifiers, they use virtually no power in standby/sleep mode, I believe it’s something like 1 Watt. With Sonos you don’t so much play music to the speakers but the speaker is access to your music although the Play 5 and the 2 other players which need regular speakers or a connection to a receiver also have an input which allows you to connect a traditional source device such as a CD player, laptop or portable player like VictorReader Stream. You can Airplay enable Sonos by connecting an Apple Airport Express to a player with an input. You then Airplay to the Airport Express and it will play on Sonos, but there is no native Airplay support which I would say is one of the few minor inconveniences. The same goes for Bluetooth, but then again you don’t really need Bluetooth support and while Sonos is not Airplay capable out of the box, you still can

Think of the camera roll as the place where all your pictures are stored, the Photos app is the app which gives you access to the camera roll or other albums you may have created manually.

Re: Caution: Apple Tech Says Audible App Has Slightly Damaged my iOS Installation
Hello, Sieghard. I think the tech's choice of words and possibly his thinking are fuzzy at best and irrational at worst. I'm putting the issue behind me and am moving on. I continue to be puzzled by the rash of mis-steps Audible has taken with their latest updates. One review I read suggested that the troubles started with the inception of the Whispersync feature. I thought surely by now Audible would have gotten back on the track of rolling out the kinds of updates customers were pleased with, but no such luck. Craig On Tuesday, August 18, 2015, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Craig, You wrote in your original post that the rep suggested removing the app or apps in question may fix the issue which it appears is poor battery life. If this is so I fail to see how installing these apps “damaged” th iOS installation. First of all the sandbox approach Apple takes probably prevents an app from actually “damaging” iOS itself. Secondly, if removing the app fixes the issue then iOS can’t be damaged since deleting an app from your phone does not result in any sort of restore to a prvious state in iOS. I think maybe this was simply a poor choice of words from the rep. As Paul said, all Apple technical reps are not the same and maybe he just meant to say that the current version of Audible results in more power consumption. This last issue I think I can confirm. I use Audible quite a lot and it seems that since this last update I am constantly running low on battery and actually ran my phone down to where it shut off by itself a few times which usually doesn’t happen before. I am going to take a closer look at the battery usage statistics, but I think the current version of Audible has done something to the battery life in addition to occasionally causing the 2-finger double tap not to work. The same, by the way, applies to when you use the remote on the Apple Earpods. Quite often since the last update I want to stop my book by pressing the pause button on the remote and instead of stopping the book that is playing it starts playing music. I hope a lot of Audible users here call them or email them because the entire series of 2.5.x updates are simply sucks.

I was finally able to delete two items from my shopping list. In order to do that, you have to check a checkbox that says the items are completed, and then hit the delete button. If the checkbox is unchecked, the delete button does not become visible, at least not to me with I wonder if it is this slow for sided. I also see no reason why you should have to check a box in order to get the delete button to appear. what dumb person thought of that idea? Can't you delete something without having completed it?

The ScanJig will take any sized phone and even an iPad and is made out of hard plastic and is the most durable, but also the most bulky if you are planning to move it from place to place. The Giraffe Reader, which isn’t talked about much, only fits a very limited number of phones and if you then get a different sized phone or case, you may have to buy a new stand.

RE: A stand for the KNFB reader
The best description I can think of is that it is like a wide diving board. The stand is about 9 inches wide. The phone sits on the platform with about an inch of it sticking out over the edge. So, if you are in a room with half-way decent lighting, plenty of room light gets in since most of the page is exposed. If the only light source was directly behind the stand, it might cast a shadow, but I can’t think of any lighting situations that would be like that. Of course, you also have the flash on the phone to compensate if needed. I’ve not had any trouble at all with lighting. Here is a link to his instructions for setting it up. I don’t know if this will help. http://fopydo.com/scanningstandfortheblind HTH, Richard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 6:25 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: A stand for the KNFB reader Richard, How does the Fopydo stand do with allowing enough light to get to the page since it doesn't use an external light source?

Re: A stand for the KNFB reader
Hello all, I have two questions: 1. will these stands fit any size iphone, i.e. 5s 6 plus 2. how sturdy are these devices? On Aug 20, 2015, at 6:16 PM, Richard Turner richardturne...@outlook.com wrote: I too highly recommend the Fopydo, partly because it is the most portable, but also he is working on an attachment that will make scanning books much easier to go with the stand. He is hoping to offer the attachment for around $10. So, between the $12 for the stand and $10 more for this nifty attachment, plus any shipping, you will have a very powerful scanning setup. I have seen the first two prototypes of the attachment and am excited about it coming to the market. I have no connection to the company. I just happened to get in touch with him early on in his development and got to put in my two cents worth. Stay tuned.

Re: Creating a Workflow to text a Uber driver
Wow! What can one all do with Uber and workflows? The thing you have to watch out for with doing it that way is if the GPS gives a slightly wrong location. I would probably hard code addresses in to them and keep them on the home screen in a folder. The hard one right now is battling the fact that my favorite restaurant has at least 3 entrances I know about. I always request them to leave me at the main front one, but I find out once inside that I am somewhere else. - Original Message - From: Thom Spittle thom3...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 9:02 PM Subject: RE: Creating a Workflow to text a Uber driver I created a workflow to request an Uber to pick me up at my present location and take me to my home.

Latest Amazon Echo Update Awful

Most likely so, I had this happen twice. If you use the Earpods a lot they do experience wear and tear and may develop a short. One time especially I remember being on a long flight bacvk from the Philippines and I’d listen to an audio book for long hours. Sometimes the book just stopped playing when I moved around a bit or I paused it in order to go to the washroom and next thing I notice it started playing again. I called Apple to get the Earpods replaced (if you have Apple Care they are covered and you can get a free replacement) and the problem went away.

RE: Caution: Apple Tech Says Audible App Has Slightly Damaged my iOS Installation
Craig, I don’t think WhisperSync has anything to do with it, if I remember correctly that was available all throughout the 2.4.x versions and those were great. I think this sounds like one of these situations where some upper management types came up with ideas and asked the developers to do stuff which isn’t really necessary. From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Craig Werner Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 4:01 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Caution: Apple Tech Says Audible App Has Slightly Damaged my iOS Installation Hello, Sieghard. I think the tech's choice of words and possibly his thinking are fuzzy at best and irrational at worst. I'm putting the issue behind me and am moving on. I continue to be puzzled by the rash of mis-steps Audible has taken with their latest updates. One review I read suggested that the troubles started with the inception of the Whispersync feature. I thought surely by now Audible would have gotten back on the track of rolling out the kinds of updates customers were pleased with, but no such luck. Craig On Tuesday, August 18, 2015, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca mailto:siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Craig, You wrote in your original post that the rep suggested removing the app or apps in question may fix the issue which it appears is poor battery life. If this is so I fail to see how installing these apps “damaged” th iOS installation. First of all the sandbox approach Apple takes probably prevents an app from actually “damaging” iOS itself. Secondly, if removing the app fixes the issue then iOS can’t be damaged since deleting an app from your phone does not result in any sort of restore to a prvious state in iOS. I think maybe this was simply a poor choice of words from the rep. As Paul said, all Apple technical reps are not the same and maybe he just meant to say that the current version of Audible results in more power consumption. This last issue I think I can confirm. I use Audible quite a lot and it seems that since this last update I am constantly running low on battery and actually ran my phone down to where it shut off by itself a few times which usually doesn’t happen before. I am going to take a closer look at the battery usage statistics, but I think the current version of Audible has done something to the battery life in addition to occasionally causing the 2-finger double tap not to work. The same, by the way, applies to when you use the remote on the Apple Earpods. Quite often since the last update I want to stop my book by pressing the pause button on the remote and instead of stopping the book that is playing it starts playing music. I hope a lot of Audible users here call them or email them because the entire series of 2.5.x updates are simply sucks.

When a customer has a battery evaluation, the tech is looking at the number of relatively full charges over a specific period of time and can see which apps are using the most power. I fail to see how this data can be used to form a schematic, so to speak, of the overall health of the OS.

Re: A stand for the KNFB reader
Richard, Yes, that is a lot of help and thanks very much. I believe I'll head to Amazon to order one of these especially considering the new stand mode in the KNFB Reader upgrade. Alan Lemly Sent from my iPhone On Aug 20, 2015, at 8:42 PM, Richard Turner richardturne...@outlook.com wrote: The best description I can think of is that it is like a wide diving board. The stand is about 9 inches wide. The phone sits on the platform with about an inch of it sticking out over the edge. So, if you are in a room with half-way decent lighting, plenty of room light gets in since most of the page is exposed. If the only light source was directly behind the stand, it might cast a shadow, but I can’t think of any lighting situations that would be like that. Of course, you also have the flash on the phone to compensate if needed. I’ve not had any trouble at all with lighting. Here is a link to his instructions for setting it up.

A stand for the KNFB reader
I was intrigued to learn that the upcoming version of KNFB reader has a mode designed for reading documents with the phone in a stand. This prompts me to inquire as to the best stand available for this purpose. Because of previous threads about various stands for the iPhone, I somehow felt that the consensus was that the Scan Jig gave the best bang for the buck. Am I misreading this? The Scan Stand initially got high praise, but one seldom hears anything about it now. So what do listers think regarding the purchase of a stand?

RE: iPhone Six plus music starts and restarts by itself.
Most likely so, I had this happen twice. If you use the Earpods a lot they do experience wear and tear and may develop a short. One time especially I remember being on a long flight bacvk from the Philippines and I’d listen to an audio book for long hours. Sometimes the book just stopped playing when I moved around a bit or I paused it in order to go to the washroom and next thing I notice it started playing again. I called Apple to get the Earpods replaced (if you have Apple Care they are covered and you can get a free replacement) and the problem went away. I guess you can first test this simply by disconnecting the Earpods to see if the problem persists, but I bet it will go away.

Re: A stand for the KNFB reader
Hi Christina. You can use a braille display instead of a bluetooth keyboard. I highly recommend the fopydo stand. It is rather cheap and easy to use. Best regards Annie.

I listened to the applevis podcast where they demonstrated using KNFB Reader 2.0 in stand mode and they used it with a bluetooth keyboard.

Re: Sometimes it's a see through screen curtain
this is a bug. At least, I'm pretty sure it is. My husband has verified this problem, and he's fully cited. I keep my brightness at 0%, and have auto brightness turned off. every once in a while, enough to be noticeable, maybe about once a week or so, my husband will tell me that my screen curtain is off. I'll do the three-finger tripple-tap, and my iPhone will say, screen curtain off. I'm not sure if at that point, the display darkens, but I don't think so. I usually just do another three-finger triple-tap to make the phone say screen curtain on, and not worry about anything. I'll have to check with my husband to see if the first three-finger triple-tap does anything visually.

Re: Podcasts and Itunes
No, it's a good question. The particular podcast I'm starting with happens to mention using iTunes and I figured it would be easier to start there. Plus, I wanted this stuff on my computer where it would be easier to archive (backup). I'd probably move these items to a Stream rather than a phone because of battery life issues in addition to the backup issue. I hope that covers your questions. - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 5:50 AM Subject: RE: Podcasts and Itunes Hi Gary, Is there a particular reason why you want to use iTunes for your Podcasts rather than the iPhone with Apple Podcast or a third-part Podcast app like Downcast? Just asking because consuming Podcasts on an iOS device with one of these apps is such a nice and easy experience. In addition to that it’s a mobile experience, i.e. you can listen at home via a bluetooth speaker or Airplay it to an Apple TV if you have one or you can plug in a headset and listen while you walk around at home or do laundry, cook etc. Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Gary Petraccaro Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2015 12:59 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Podcasts and Itunes I've just subscribed to a particular podcast which has some way of working with iTunes.

Re: Latest Amazon Echo Update Awful
Hi Brian, This is very disappointing. I really thought that this time they were going to get it right. I mean, they actually mentioned voiceover in their little release note. I have not updated yet. I saw the update was available, but have been busy all day until now. Have you tried anything else in the app?

So once again Amazon just continues to ignore VoiceOVer users, pathetic on a company this large that has been aware of VoiceOVer for a very long time thanks to the whole Kindle thing. -- The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list.

Re: KNFB . Automatic text detection to enable hands-free operation.
Exactly. On the main screen, choose the select profile button at the bottom, then use the picker to get to the profile you want. Hit the Done button when you have it, and that setting will stick until you change it again.

Re: A stand for the KNFB reader
Hi Don, I don't know if it's the best or not, but I bought a Fopydo, which is very reasonably priced, and am happy with it. I travelled with it recently and it was great for quickly dealing with things like the compendium in my hotel room.

Unable to Login to Bank of America via Safari
Hello, everyone. I cannot login to my Bank of America account. When I enter my username and password, all looks as it should. The password is listed as containing sixteen characters, the correct count. However, when I press the sign in button, nothing on the page seems to have changed. I have tried all kinds of ways to activate the button: flicking left and double-tapping; flicking right and double-tappping; touching the button and then double-tappping, switching the rotor to form controls and double-tapping after locating the button; and even reloading the page. Has anyone else experienced difficulty with this site? I am using an iPhone 5 running iOS 8.3. Thank you for all help.
