Re: AUTO language detections?

I think, at least in html and other rich-text formats, you can identify text as 
different languages. Think of it as embedding ID3 tag information into an MP3 
file, like name, artist, etc.

You can choose from a number of different vibration patterns and set them

functionality to create custom vibrations, but I have not tried to do this and

Greetings. Does anyone know if it is possible to assign different vibration

vibration pattern for an incoming call verses a voicemail message. Using iOS 
9.0.2 on an iPhone 6S, for what it's worth.

Voice Dream Reader and plain text documents

2015-10-11 Thread Gary Bowers
Does anyone know how to locate a .txt file that has been uploaded to Voice
Dream Reader?

I tried  using Dropbox to load .txt files to VDR in zipped and unzipped
formats. VDR indicates that a zipped .txt file has been successfully loaded
to VDR, but I cannot find the file.

I've gone to Home and checked the list of files, and I've tried using the
search function--both efforts failed to locate the .txt file. The VDR user
manual says that .txt files are supported, but few details are given beyond
that.

It would be great if I could create a list, e.g. phone numbers or addresses,
and read them in VDR.

I'd appreciate any help or comments concerning plain text documents in VDR.

Thanks, Richard. You did it again!

I found the unzipped text file when I changed the settings to sort by Title

Originally, I tried an unzipped text file. When I could not find that file, I 
tried a zipped text file. As you already know, VDR could not locate the zipped 
file, but changing the sort order allowed me to locate the unzipped file.

I just copied a plain text file to Dropbox with Writer.
Then I opened Voice Dream Reader, double tapped on Add, double tapped on 
Dropbox, located the file, double tapped on it, and when it said it was 
successfully loaded I double tapped on the OK button, then the done button.
The file was the second one in my list because I had them sorted alphabetically.
I don't think you would want them in a zip file, as that is only used for mp3 
files and DAISY books I believe.

Hi,

This very annoying mail bug just happened a few minutes ago. The first thing I 
did was to go to the app switcher and close everything out. That did the trick 
this time. I start with that and then sometimes I need to move on to more 
drastic items such as deleting the account from settings, 
mail/contacts/calendar and reestablish the Gmail account again. In the past, I 
have called Apple accessibility for assistance and they have stated that Gmail 
seems to get stuck or some how corrupted. I was polite but really didn't buy 
that. I do Have the Gmail app on the phone and when this happens I know that 
Gmail is working because I get my recent mail to show up there and also on my 
Mac. Go figure it.

SV: Loadstone GPS: a campaign to get an accessible GPS app started on iOS

2015-10-11 Thread Lars Billgren
Hello! 

 

You might also test MyWay Classic. I’m using it when I have to pass through a 
park or any place where there are no roads. . Just walk the route with a friend 
and shake the phone where you want your points. Save the route.  You can’t go 
wrong next time you are folling the raout. MyWay classic will give you info 
about direction  and distance to next point and it will vibrate when you point 
your phone in the right direction. 

 

I think it’s close to what Loadstone was. 

 

Regards 

Lars Billgren Sweden

Ämne: RE: Loadstone GPS: a campaign to get an accessible GPS app started on iOS

 

Hi Paul,

 

Do you have any details about this? I followed your link to the GoFundMe 
website, but apart from the fact that they are looking to raise $2,000 and have 
raised $65 in the last 13 days there is no other information. I would have 
questions like this:

 

Is there an ending date by which the $2,000 have to be raised

If so and they are not reaching the $2,000 what happens to the donations that 
were made

If they do reach the $2,000, when do they expect to have this app ready?

How much do they think the app would cost and would it be a one-time purchase 
or would they require a subscription like Seeing-Eye GPS to keep it going?

 

I guess they are joining the iPhone bandwagon pretty late and it would be 
interesting to know how they think they can differentiate themselves from the 
Seeing-Eye GPS app which now has become much more complete since one can now 
have user POI’s. Then there is of course Blindsquare which does a very nice job 
for telling you where you are and really only lacks more detailed intersection 
information (probably something the will be added at some point) and 
turn-by-turn directions which to many users aren’t as important as getting 
feedback as to where one is one more familiar routes. Lastly of course there 
are apps like Apple Maps and Google Maps which are becoming more and more user 
friendly for visually impaired users as time goes by and which in connection 
with an app like Blindsquare offer a pretty good solution. One big point in 
favour of them of course is that we all know support for them will not go away 
or that the product becomes less useful because the developer runs out of money 
and can’t provide map or app updates.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Subject: Loadstone GPS: a campaign to get an accessible GPS app started on iOS

 

Hello,

 

Just today I came across a tweet courtesy of Cool Blind Tech sharing it, where 
the creators of Loadstone GPS, a well-known Symbian navigation solution, are 
asking to support their Gofundme campaign to get the money needed to get the 
equipment and all other costs covered for the development of its iOS version. 
The fact it was the only place I heard it so far makes me wonder a little as I 
know this was an extremely popular application among Symbian users back when 
everybody had a Nokia.

 

Anyway, here is the link to the campaign's page with all explanations inside.

 

https://www.gofundme.com/loadstone-gps

 

You may consider backing this.

 

kind regards

Re: Voice Dream Reader and plain text documents

2015-10-11 Thread Richard Turner

I just copied a plain text file to Dropbox with Writer.
Then I opened Voice Dream Reader, double tapped on Add, double tapped on 
Dropbox, located the file, double tapped on it, and when it said it was 
successfully loaded I double tapped on the OK button, then the done button.
The file was the second one in my list because I had them sorted alphabetically.
I don't think you would want them in a zip file, as that is only used for mp3 
files and DAISY books I believe.

Re: AUTO language detections?

2015-10-11 Thread Rajmund
Hello,
That's a  good question, actually. I dunno know the answer, but when I put mine 
to UK, rather than default speech, it read everything in English, regardless. 
Whereas before, it changed. But I don't think its to do with the pronunciation, 
that's determined by the TTS (text to speech).

to all,

first of all, I am not sure if you  are referring to this. are yo saying 
about braille issue if so, go to bluetooth, go to voiceover, and go to 
braille and click, as yo can see two different type of braille us and uk. at 
first I had trouble with different grade as I didn't get it, then I asked 
blind tech trainer and he explained to me and I went through and found and I 
switched to us and it  was much better.


somehow, for auto language, is it possible if I can switch back and forth if 
I look at spanish and italian and pick up to say something to friends, I can 
learn and practice with spanish or italian to friends. can I switch back and 
forth english-spanish or english-italian? if so, give  me instruction. thank 
you1

Rajmund,
when I go into settings/General/access ability/voice-over and finally to 
speech, The first thing I
see is "default dialect". my default dialect happens to be set to UK 
English. The next thing I see
is other languages and here I have UK English and Italian. with this set 
up all three show in my
language rotor. so, only when I select default language/dialect, I can't 
remember what it's called
now, the screen will read whatever languages are available. but but if I 
select either UK or
Italian the screen will read in that language or at least try to in a 
weird sort of way. are we

getting closer here?
Good luck, Sandy

Re: Is it now true that the Overcast app is now free?

2015-10-11 Thread Russ Kiehne
Doing some research, I found the following:

The best podcast app for iOS, Overcast, is now  totally free 

By 
Chris Welch 

on 
October 9, 2015 11:09 am 

Overcast,
The Verge's
pick for  
best iPhone / iPad podcast app 
, received a big update today. Most notably, some features that previously 
required an in-app purchase are now free for everyone to use. "I’d rather have 
you using Overcast for free than not using it at all, and I want everyone to be 
using the 
good
version of Overcast," developer Marco Arment  
wrote in a blog post 
. According to Arment, only about 20 percent of Overcast users opted for the 
in-app purchase that unlocked the app's best features like smart speed, voice 
boost, and cellular downloads. 

Arment has done away with that model, and if you wish to support the app's 
continued development, you can chip in $1 per month. "If only 5 percent of 
customers become monthly patrons, Overcast will match its previous revenue," 
Arment wrote. In the future, patrons might get exclusive access to new app 
features, but for now it's simply a means of showing your appreciation for 
Arment's work. 

Aside from spearheading Arment's new business model, Overcast 2 also introduces 
several new features and improvements. Chief among them is the ability to 
stream podcasts without downloading the entire episode first; before today, 
Overcast required shows be downloaded in full before you could listen. Smart 
speed and voice boost work regardless of whether you're listening to a 
downloaded file or streaming a podcast on the fly. Speaking of which, Arment 
says he's optimized both of those functions so they'll sound "a bit nicer" than 
the previous version of Overcast. Overcast also now supports chapters and pulls 
in recommendations from actual users when you're browsing around for new shows. 
And yes, there are 3D Touch shortcuts for iPhone 6S and 6S Plus owners out 
there. Overcast 2 is available now in the App Store and should appear as an 
update if you've already got the app installed.

I just installed Overcast for the first time.

In the app store it said “get, in app purchases.”

I’m streaming a podcast as I write this.

I do not know if something will come along to ask for payment, but in settings 
there is a support Overcast button, so it might be that the in app purchase is 
whether you want to donate to support the app production.

 

So far so good.

RE: Mail

2015-10-11 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Marissa,

There are 3 ways:

1. If you open a message, there will be a delete button at the bottom in the 
middle just above the home button. This will delete the message and put focus 
inside the next message.

2. If you want to delete messages when  you are in the messages list inside 
your inbox or another mailbox, you can flick up with one finger since the 
action rotor will be active. The action rotor in the mail app contains the 
following items:
Activate item (default action)
Mark Unread
Flag
More
Delete
By default, focus is automatically on the first option which is "Activate item" 
so Since Delete is the fifth item, you would have to flick down four times to 
get to it, but you can just flick up once since focus wraps around and that is 
much quicker. Once Voiceover says "Delete" you can just double tap to 
activate/perform the deletion.
Mark Unread and Flag are self-explanatory, the "More" option causes a pop-up 
menu with the following choices to appear:
Reply
Forward
Mark
Notify Me
Move Message
Cancel

3. This final way to delete works by double tapping on the "Edit" button at the 
top right of the mailbox you are in. Once you do, you can double tap multiple 
messages and Voiceover will announce each message you double tap as "Selected". 
Once you selected the message or messages you want to delete, you can find a 
"Trash" button at the bottom right of the screen. There is also a "Mark" button 
at the bottom left and a "Move" button in the middle which allows you to move 
multiple messages to a different folder all at once.

I personally rarely use this third method to delete messages. Usually I use the 
second method which means I just flick up once and double tap. If flicking up 
does not change focus from "Activate Item" to "Delete", make sure you haven't 
accidently turned the rotor so it's on characters, words or something else. If 
this is the case, you just have to turn the rotor until you get back to 
"Actions".

Regards,
Sieghard

Re: AUTO language detections?

2015-10-11 Thread rajmund
Hello,
Try:
Settings
Accessibility
Voice over
speech.
Now, add language. So for Instance, find Itallian, double tap. If i'm correct, 
now if you flick the rotor, get to language, flick up or down, you should get 
to your newly added language. I'm sorry if this is not clear, I'm still not 
100% confident when it comes to editing without a display. But I'm about there.

I am not aware that you can make vibrations harder or softer at this point, 
you can pick the different types Apple offers or make your own, but whatever 
strength it vibrates it is not adjustable.

see voice mailbox and I did clicked inside to foresee, and I see vibration, 
and I clicked in. I checked and I follow type of vibration ways. like quick, 
s.o.s., heartbeat, etc. nice, but you can create your own vibration yo want, 
yo can set up. I can see this.


somehow, I look for soething but can't find, I need to know how to set up 
high vibraiton, low vibration, hard vibration, soft vibration, etc. I know 
few friends who don't have good senses due to body environment, how can I 
increase to make it stronger vibration? thank you1

Hi Wayne,

You can choose from a number of different vibration patterns and set them 
individually for calls or other alerts in Settings > Sounds. There is also 
functionality to create custom vibrations, but I have not tried to do this 
and don't know if it works with Voiceover.

Greetings. Does anyone know if it is possible to assign different vibration 
patterns for voicemails in iOS? I think it would be helpful to have a 
different vibration pattern for an incoming call verses a voicemail message.

Using iOS 9.0.2 on an iPhone 6S, for what it's worth.

Re: Gmail server message

2015-10-11 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Obviously, any resource on the internet is subject to things like 
internet traffic. I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say you 
have "300mpbs down", but there are a lot of points where you could run 
into network congestion. I use Gmail, and I don't have any kind of 
recurring issue with the Gmail servers. Now that I'm running IOS 9.0.2, 
I do get error messages occasionally when trying to retrieve my email, 
but closing and restarting the Mail app always fixes this for me. This 
tells me that the problem is at Apple's end and not Gmail's.

Hi,

This very annoying mail bug just happened a few minutes ago. The first

That did the trick this time. I start with that and then sometimes I
need to move on to more drastic items such as deleting the account
from settings, mail/contacts/calendar and reestablish the Gmail
account again. In the past, I have called Apple accessibility for
assistance and they have stated that Gmail seems to get stuck or some
how corrupted. I was polite but really didn't buy that. I do Have the
Gmail app on the phone and when this happens I know that Gmail is
working because I get my recent mail to show up there and also on my

Hello! 

 

You might also test MyWay Classic. I’m using it when I have to pass through a

and shake the phone where you want your points. Save the route.  You can’t go 
wrong next time you are folling the raout. MyWay classic will give you info 
about direction  and distance to next point and it will vibrate when you point 
your phone in the right direction. 

 

I think it’s close to what Loadstone was.

Hi Paul,

 

Do you have any details about this? I followed your link to the GoFundMe 
website, but apart from the fact that they are looking to raise $2,000 and have 
raised $65 in the last 13 days there is no other information. I would have 
questions like this:

 

Is there an ending date by which the $2,000 have to be raised

If so and they are not reaching the $2,000 what happens to the donations that 
were made

If they do reach the $2,000, when do they expect to have this app ready?

How much do they think the app would cost and would it be a one-time purchase 
or would they require a subscription like Seeing-Eye GPS to keep it going?

 

I guess they are joining the iPhone bandwagon pretty late and it would be 
interesting to know how they think they can differentiate themselves from the 
Seeing-Eye GPS app which now has become much more complete since one can now 
have user POI’s. Then there is of course Blindsquare which does a very nice job 
for telling you where you are and really only lacks more detailed intersection 
information (probably something the will be added at some point) and 
turn-by-turn directions which to many users aren’t as important as getting 
feedback as to where one is one more familiar routes. Lastly of course there 
are apps like Apple Maps and Google Maps which are becoming more and more user 
friendly for visually impaired users as time goes by and which in connection 
with an app like Blindsquare offer a pretty good solution. One big point in 
favour of them of course is that we all know support for them will not go away 
or that the product becomes less useful because the developer runs out of money 
and can’t provide map or app updates.

Sieghard

Just today I came across a tweet courtesy of Cool Blind Tech sharing it, where 
the creators of Loadstone GPS, a well-known Symbian navigation solution, are 
asking to support their Gofundme campaign to get the money needed to get the 
equipment and all other costs covered for the development of its iOS version. 
The fact it was the only place I heard it so far makes me wonder a little as I 
know this was an extremely popular application among Symbian users back when 
everybody had a Nokia.

 

Anyway, here is the link to the campaign's page with all explanations inside.

You may consider backing this.

The best podcast app for iOS, Overcast, is now  totally free 

 

By 

Chris Welch 

 

on 

October 9, 2015 11:09 am 

 

Overcast,

The Verge's

pick for  

best iPhone / iPad podcast app 

, received a big update today. Most notably, some features that previously 
required an in-app purchase are now free for everyone to use. "I’d rather have 
you using Overcast for free than not using it at all, and I want everyone to be 
using the 

good

version of Overcast," developer Marco Arment  

wrote in a blog post 

. According to Arment, only about 20 percent of Overcast users opted for the 
in-app purchase that unlocked the app's best features like smart speed, voice 
boost, and cellular downloads. 

 

Arment has done away with that model, and if you wish to support the app's 
continued development, you can chip in $1 per month. "If only 5 percent of 
customers become monthly patrons, Overcast will match its previous revenue," 
Arment wrote. In the future, patrons might get exclusive access to new app 
features, but for now it's simply a means of showing your appreciation for 
Arment's work. 

 

Aside from spearheading Arment's new business model, Overcast 2 also introduces 
several new features and improvements. Chief among them is the ability to 
stream podcasts without downloading the entire episode first; before today, 
Overcast required shows be downloaded in full before you could listen. Smart 
speed and voice boost work regardless of whether you're listening to a 
downloaded file or streaming a podcast on the fly. Speaking of which, Arment 
says he's optimized both of those functions so they'll sound "a bit nicer" than 
the previous version of Overcast. Overcast also now supports chapters and pulls 
in recommendations from actual users when you're browsing around for new shows. 
And yes, there are 3D Touch shortcuts for iPhone 6S and 6S Plus owners out 
there. Overcast 2 is available now in the App Store and should appear as an 
update if you've already got the app installed.

Subject: RE: Is it now true that the Overcast app is now free?

 

I just installed Overcast for the first time.

In the app store it said “get, in app purchases.”

I’m streaming a podcast as I write this.

I do not know if something will come along to ask for payment, but in settings 
there is a support Overcast button, so it might be that the in app purchase is 
whether you want to donate to support the app production.

 

So far so good.

RE: Custom vibration patterns for voicemail

I am not aware that you can make vibrations harder or softer at this point, you 
can pick the different types Apple offers or make your own, but whatever 
strength it vibrates it is not adjustable.

Hi Wayne,

You can choose from a number of different vibration patterns and set them

functionality to create custom vibrations, but I have not tried to do this and 
don't know if it works with Voiceover.

back to previous app button?

hi,
I have recently upgraded to 9.02 on my iPhone six. I was under the impression 
that one of the new features was an ever present back button in the status line 
with which one could go back to the app you were in just before. thus obviating 
the need for using the app switcher. was I wrong? Perhaps it doesn't work on an 
iPhone 6? Or where is it?

Sandy, Since I only have an iPhone 6s, I cannot check if this is a 9.02 feature 
or not. However, I love this feature. It is at top left between status bar and 
what would be back button or first line. Edge of screen. You will need to, or 
should I say I needed to, poke around to find it. I found quite by accident, 
but a great feature.

problem with downloading music, movies, or tv episodes.

2015-10-11 Thread Jenifer Barr
Hi all.
Ok, bear with me while I try to explain two problems I'm having.  *smile*
1.  When in the iTunes ap on my phone, if I double tap download... the
phone acts like it's downloading, but then I go to the videos ap or
whatever I'm trying to download... because this even happens with
iBooks, the item is not there.  I'll get 100% downloaded, but the item
isn't there still.  When I go back into iTunes or the iBook store I
see the download button like it was never pressed to download.  This
has started happening with IOS 8.whatever.  lol.  Do you think it's a
connection problem?
2.  I'm searching for TV episodes both in the iTunes ap, and in the
videos ap (the videos ap for ones I've already downloaded.)  VO seems
to get stuck on saying the same thing or going in a loop.  Like, it
will go back to the beginning to the description of the show, or the
first result.  I am swiping to the right as I normally do.  If I just
move my finger down the screen it happens also.  This has started with
9.0.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I haven't reported it because
I feel even now like I'm not really explaining myself clearly.  LOL.
Thanks for indulging me.

If memory serves and unless Google finally fixed it, there was one major 
accessibility issue with the Gmail app. If you were typing something in the 
message body and wanted to navigate the text. Be it by character or word, 
Voiceover wouldn’t speak the selected text. The Outlook app also has this 
annoying bug too unfortunately. 

Other than that, the Gmail app worked perfectly fine and was great for push 
notifications. I used to use it for the notifications and then would reply via 
the native mail app for the text editing Voiceover abilities. I’ve since 
deleted the Gmail app since Outlook offers the same push notifications and 
despite that one VO text editing bug, it’s over all a great app. Especially 
since you can view calendars and contacts all from within the same app.

continued to use the native program, it was, supposedly, at my own risk.  I 
don't know if the app really does offer a higher level of security, or if this 
is marketing hype, but I decided to take the risk and continue with the native 
email program.

Subject: The GMail app versus the native IOS app?

 

Hello, having never tried the GMail app, but hearing it's 
great, how is it different from collecting my GMail with the mail app that's in 
IOS? I only want the e-mail, and don't care about anything else, so is there a 
better or faster interface that I'm missing if I don't use the GMail app?

Thanks,

Matthew

Hiding Facebook posts using the iPhone

2015-10-11 Thread Tom
Hello,

 

I tried searching the archives but couldn't find the answer.

How can I hide posts from someone on Facebook using my iPhone?  I cannot
unfriend them right now but I would like their posts hidden.  Is there a
way?  I think I have the latest facebook update.

Tom C.

how to remove applewatch band

2015-10-11 Thread Fanus
Hello list
I just want to make sure that I do not damage  anything. I know there is a 
button to be pressed but what I am not quite sure is whether I must pull the 
band away from the watch or must I push it to the side and if so, must I push 
to the side where the digital crown is or to the side of the speaker?

I think Don means to say that his internet connection is giving him download

Obviously, any resource on the internet is subject to things like internet 
traffic. I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say you have "300mpbs 
down", but there are a lot of points where you could run into network 
congestion. I use Gmail, and I don't have any kind of recurring issue with the 
Gmail servers. Now that I'm running IOS 9.0.2, I do get error messages 
occasionally when trying to retrieve my email, but closing and restarting the 
Mail app always fixes this for me. This tells me that the problem is at Apple's 
end and not Gmail's.

Now, add language. So for Instance, find Itallian, double tap. If i'm

should get to your newly added language. I'm sorry if this is not clear, I'm

We are. My default dylect is also UK. Except when I scroll down, I also

Rajmund,
when I go into settings/General/access ability/voice-over and finally to 
speech, The first thing I
see is "default dialect". my default dialect happens to be set to UK 
English. The next thing I see
is other languages and here I have UK English and Italian. with this set 
up all three show in my
language rotor. so, only when I select default language/dialect, I can't 
remember what it's called
now, the screen will read whatever languages are available. but but if I 
select either UK or
Italian the screen will read in that language or at least try to in a 
weird sort of way. are we

getting closer here?
Good luck, Sandy

selecting text, a new way?

2015-10-11 Thread Regina Alvarado
Hey all, I heard there is a new way to select text? True? If so, steps, please! 
Never have gotten the pinch gesture correct. Perhaps it is my lack of 
dexterity, but I am hoping Apple has actually given us a new way to do this.

Re: back to previous app button?

2015-10-11 Thread Alex Hall
It takes the place of the left items on the status bar, left of the time. 
However, it is *not* always present. Instead, it appears if you do something 
that takes you from one app to another. Tap a link in an email, and Safari 
opens, but the button appears in your status bar, letting you go back to Mail. 
The same thing happens if you're in an app, open the Notification Center, and 
open a notification so you land in a new app. This won't work from the home 
screen, because there's nothing to go back to in that case, or if you manually 
switch apps through the home screen or app switcher.

One game that can be played without the need for headphones is stem stumpers. 
Sounds are mono in nature so you don't need to hear the position of them. It is 
a pretty interesting little puzzle game with plenty of levels to keep people

Re: how to remove applewatch band

2015-10-11 Thread Barry Abbott
Hi Fanus. On either side of the back of the watch is a spring loaded button 
which you would hold in with your fingernail. Then slide the strap either 
toward the rear or front sides of the  watch until it slides out of the groove. 
There are two parts  to the strap. When sliding the new strap into place  
remember to hold that tiny spring loaded button in.

By the front of the watch I mean where  the crown and friend buttons are 
located.

Hope this helps.

RE: fun topic for the weekend: best iPhone games

2015-10-11 Thread Paul and Paula Jordan
I can't either and I've looked at the help section and that doesn't help much.  
I also can't figure out Bblindfold free cell.  I used to love free cell on my 
old windows computer, but I can't get the hand of the BlindFold one.  Besides 
that, I wonder if I'm going to have to buy more coins as I play.  Very 
confusing.
God bless!

Don't feel bad.  I can't either.  I listened to the apple vis podcast on it.  I 
also went up on BARD because they have a book of rules for different games.  I 
couldn't understand the rules from there either.

One game that can be played without the need for headphones is stem
stumpers. Sounds are mono in nature so you don't need to hear the position
of them. It is a pretty interesting little puzzle game with plenty of levels
to keep people occupied.

RE: So I have copied my iTunes folder off my thumb drive in to iTunes so am I all good now

2015-10-11 Thread Don & Cher
Dear Alan-

Recently I was trying to replace songs deleted from iTunes and restored from 
Recycle Bin. Could not figure out the procedure for adding back to library- 
even after reading several rather unspecific web answers. When you told Jen to 
"browse to the top folder", it seems like this would always be the 
iTunes>media>music folder- would it Not? Seems like this would add tons of 
duplicates to the library. Apparently I'm missing a step or two here :(

Jan,

 

If I understand your post, you've copied all your iTunes media content which 
came from a flash drive where it was pasted from an older system to your music 
folder on your laptop.

 

iTunes manages all the media on your computer through the iTunes library which 
is a file with a series of pointers amongst other things to the actual music 
files on your computer. You will need to go into iTunes, and select File, add 
folder to library, and browse to the top folder under which you pasted all your 
media on your laptop in order to get the iTunes library populated. Depending on 
how much content you have, this might take a few minutes for iTunes to complete.

 

Good luck.

 

Alan Lemly

 I turned off predictive because it was always popping up with really odd

 IMHO, just because you're using an auto correct or predictive text 
 feature doesn't mean you still aren't responsible for the content. I use 
 these features because I think they make me more productive. I still 
 proof what I write before I send it out, just as I do with dictation. 
 These are tools. They're neither good nor bad. Use them if you like and 
 don't if you don't think they help.

Where's My Rubber Ducky sample .wav file

2015-10-11 Thread Richard Turner
I decided it was time to use my IQ 6 microphone and do a sample of this
game.

I used Audio Memos for the recording and had my computer speakers about a
foot apart with my iPod touch 6th Generation as close to the middle as I
could place it.  I think I'm just a tiny bit closer to the left, but you
will get the idea.  I did boost the dynamics with GoldWave on my PC to help
make it more present.

 

This is purely a recording of a couple levels and what happens when you die.
In this case, I let myself die in level 3.  I wanted to keep it relatively
short.  It is about 3 minutes.

I recorded the introduction to the game so I don't need to explain much
else.

This game requires GPS and a compass, so the Wi-Fi only devices don't work.

I made it to level 17 twice, but it seems you go on for a long time and no
higher level is announced, or I just get tired of turning around to get the
zombie in the center and end up getting killed, or rather, letting Jack get
killed.

Anyway, if you want to hear a sample before trying the game, the link to the
file is below.

The game is free.

blindsquare stuck in app switcher

2015-10-11 Thread Jim Ruby
Hi, for some reason blindsquare will not close, I can't get it out of the app 
switcher? Even powered off/on the phone and it is still there, I have not done 
a home+power to reboot the phone. Just curious if anyone has had this happen to 
them? Using ios 9.x latest version, iphone 5s and latest version of blindsquare.

This was the only app I had open.
Now since I launched other apps and blindsquare was not the only app running I 
was able to close it. Maybe am running in to a ios bug here.

Re: Loadstone GPS: a campaign to get an accessible GPS app started on iOS

Hello Sieghart and Lars,

Unfortunately I can't answer your questions as I'm not in direct touch with the

Does My Way allow for creating routes from point A to B through C? I think that

  Hello! 

   

  You might also test MyWay Classic. I’m using it when I have to pass through a 
park or any place where there are no roads. . Just walk the route with a friend 
and shake the phone where you want your points. Save the route.  You can’t go 
wrong next time you are folling the raout. MyWay classic will give you info 
about direction  and distance to next point and it will vibrate when you point 
your phone in the right direction. 

   

  I think it’s close to what Loadstone was.

  Hi Paul,

   

  Do you have any details about this? I followed your link to the GoFundMe 
website, but apart from the fact that they are looking to raise $2,000 and have 
raised $65 in the last 13 days there is no other information. I would have 
questions like this:

   

  Is there an ending date by which the $2,000 have to be raised

  If so and they are not reaching the $2,000 what happens to the donations that 
were made

  If they do reach the $2,000, when do they expect to have this app ready?

  How much do they think the app would cost and would it be a one-time purchase 
or would they require a subscription like Seeing-Eye GPS to keep it going?

   

  I guess they are joining the iPhone bandwagon pretty late and it would be 
interesting to know how they think they can differentiate themselves from the 
Seeing-Eye GPS app which now has become much more complete since one can now 
have user POI’s. Then there is of course Blindsquare which does a very nice job 
for telling you where you are and really only lacks more detailed intersection 
information (probably something the will be added at some point) and 
turn-by-turn directions which to many users aren’t as important as getting 
feedback as to where one is one more familiar routes. Lastly of course there 
are apps like Apple Maps and Google Maps which are becoming more and more user 
friendly for visually impaired users as time goes by and which in connection 
with an app like Blindsquare offer a pretty good solution. One big point in 
favour of them of course is that we all know support for them will not go away 
or that the product becomes less useful because the developer runs out of money 
and can’t provide map or app updates.

   

   

  Regards,

  Sieghard

  Hello,

   

  Just today I came across a tweet courtesy of Cool Blind Tech sharing it, 
where the creators of Loadstone GPS, a well-known Symbian navigation solution, 
are asking to support their Gofundme campaign to get the money needed to get 
the equipment and all other costs covered for the development of its iOS 
version. The fact it was the only place I heard it so far makes me wonder a 
little as I know this was an extremely popular application among Symbian users 
back when everybody had a Nokia.

   

  Anyway, here is the link to the campaign's page with all explanations inside.

   

  https://www.gofundme.com/loadstone-gps

   

  You may consider backing this.

   

  kind regards

RE: Loadstone GPS: a campaign to get an accessible GPS app started on iOS

2015-10-11 Thread Richard Turner
MapQuest allows you to add stops to a route.

Put in your destination, then find the Add Stop button, which says “pi add 
stop” as it must have the “pi” symbol as part of the button label.

Then, put in your next destination and Mapquest will sort them by distance, but 
you can drag them to a different order if you wish.

Then, double tap on Walking or 

Driving and then hit the Start button.

There is also a list button so you can get step by step instructions on the 
screen as well as spoken.

 

This is probably primarily a United States and possibly Canada app.  I’ve not 
heard if it is used elsewhere.

 

But, these are based on locations ahead of time.  It sounds like My Way Classic 
allows you to drop points as you go so you can do that same route later.

Hello Sieghart and Lars,

 

Unfortunately I can't answer your questions as I'm not in direct touch with the 
developers and only saw the tweet.

 

Does My Way allow for creating routes from point A to B through C? I think that 
was one of the features I heard was missing from most GPS apps available.

 

kind regards

There is a new item you can add to the rotor called text selection which allows

Turn the rotor to text selecttion.  the flick up gesture than will give you 
choice; such as word line and so  forth.  
once you have chosen your unit of selection swipe to the right and you will 
select by the unit you have chosen.

One game that can be played without the need for headphones is stem stumpers. 
Sounds are mono in nature so you don't need to hear the position of them. It is

a home+power to reboot the phone. Just curious if anyone has had this happen to 
them? Using ios 9.x latest version, iphone 5s and latest version of blindsquare.

This was the only app I had open.
Now since I launched other apps and blindsquare was not the only app running I 
was able to close it. Maybe am running in to a ios bug here.

Re: selecting text, a new way?

2015-10-11 Thread christopher hallsworth
Very true and instructions has already been given so not going to reinvent the 
wheel. Check it out though; best feature in iOS 9 from an accessibility 
standpoint. I couldn't pinch either due to my poor coordination.

Re: Setting up new iphone

2015-10-11 Thread Aleeha Dudley
It depends on what you want todo, honestly. Both will work. If you don’t want 
to go through the trouble of getting all your apps and settings back, you will 
be able to select “restore from backup”, during the setup process. This is 
after you enter your Apple ID and password on the phone. Keep in mind that both 
devices must be running the same version of iOS.

RE: So I have copied my iTunes folder off my thumb drive in to iTunes so am I all good now

2015-10-11 Thread Alan Lemly
Cher,

 

When I told Jen to browse to the top folder, I was advising from the
perspective that she had yet to add any of that music which she had copied
to her computer from a flash drive to her iTunes library. You are right that
the top folder in my system would be iTunes Media\Music and also correct
that if this had been done previously, duplicates would be added to the
library.

 

In your case, once you've located the tracks restored from your recycle bin,
I'd suggest that you paste them into your iTunes Media\Automatically Add to
iTunes folder to see if iTunes automatically adds them back to your library
the next time you launch it.

Dear Alan-

Recently I was trying to replace songs deleted from iTunes and restored from
Recycle Bin. Could not figure out the procedure for adding back to library-
even after reading several rather unspecific web answers. When you told Jen
to "browse to the top folder", it seems like this would always be the
iTunes>media>music folder- would it Not? Seems like this would add tons of
duplicates to the library. Apparently I'm missing a step or two here :(

Jan,

 

If I understand your post, you've copied all your iTunes media content which
came from a flash drive where it was pasted from an older system to your
music folder on your laptop.

 

iTunes manages all the media on your computer through the iTunes library
which is a file with a series of pointers amongst other things to the actual
music files on your computer. You will need to go into iTunes, and select
File, add folder to library, and browse to the top folder under which you
pasted all your media on your laptop in order to get the iTunes library
populated. Depending on how much content you have, this might take a few
minutes for iTunes to complete.

 

Good luck.

 

Alan Lemly

Hi,

should I be able to play all my music now or is there another step I must

Re: VOICE over ignoring punctuation marks?

hello,
Its OK, though; don't woroy about it.

Hello All,
So, let me just try and explain this.  As many of you know, and 
as my signature suggests, am

coming
from note takers.  So that's mainly things like eloquence, and a 
few others.  So here's my

issue.
And I know this will sound like  I'm picky, but really.  I have 
the note takers on the fastest
speech rate, and I find them too slow.  With voice over, 
however, I find 75% too slow, but if I
increase it, I understand no word, if it reads a long passage, 
but otherwise, too slow.  So
something like I had a nice day, though.  And i had a nice day 
though will sound the same.  Its

as
if commas are completely ignored , rather than insert a pause, 
etc.  Guess its the emotion, or
something.  Anyway, anyone noticed this? If so,  have you found 
a particular voice that was

better
at it than others? I have so far tried Daniel, Samantha, Female 
British Siri, and just trying
Alex.  But if someone does know of something, please, tell  me 
about it? Or do you just

eventually
get used to it?

PS.  When I say increased, I mean something like 80%, and its 
too quick.  Otherwise,,  too slow.

And
I do get a headache from slow speech rates.
Anyway, many thanks!

Upgrading to IOS 9?

2015-10-11 Thread Kim Samco
Hello,

I took to heart the warning about waiting to upgrade until some of the bugs are 
worked out.  Is it "safe" to upgrade now or is it still at the point of 
frustration?  Do we know when IOS 9.1 will be out?

Thanks,

Kim

Re: Upgrading to IOS 9?

2015-10-11 Thread Colin McDonald
IOS 9 release was nearly as good as the release of 7...IOS8 was the one 
plagued with all the issues at first.
Your phone likely just automatically downloaded the new update, but hasn't 
installed it yet.
It's smart though to wait until the first or second patch has been released 
to get rid of some of the anoyances that tend to be standard in any apple 
IOS release.

Colin

Subject: blindsquare stuck in app switcher

Hi, for some reason blindsquare will not close, I can't get it out of the 
app switcher? Even powered off/on the phone and it is still there, I have 
not done a home+power to reboot the phone. Just curious if anyone has had 
this happen to them? Using ios 9.x latest version, iphone 5s and latest 
version of blindsquare.


This was the only app I had open.
Now since I launched other apps and blindsquare was not the only app running 
I was able to close it. Maybe am running in to a ios bug here.

Good Afternoon!

You should really try Dream Hold.  It is like a text based adventure game

Thanks for this, now I don't see a choice for installing it.  I'm looking in 
settings and software update and I am not on my PC.  Where I am says
"I  aOS 9.02"

"Apple, Inc"

"Already downloaded"

And that's it.  I've tapped on all of those things and nothing happens.

Thanks for any help.

I got the light version until I know if I like it.

I used to play this with "real cards" so I understand the game but not the

It depends on what you want todo, honestly. Both will work. If you don’t want 
to go through the trouble of getting all your apps and settings back, you will 
be able to select “restore from backup”, during the setup process. This is 
after you enter your Apple ID and password on the phone. Keep in mind that both 
devices must be running the same version of iOS.

IOS9.2 and Hearing Aids

2015-10-11 Thread Agent086b
Hello all,
I am using IOS 8.4.1. I connect the iPhone to my hearing aids via bluetooth to 
a Siemens miniTek. My question is anybody connecting to Hearing Aids with 
IOS9.2? I am not willing to loose the conductivity that I have now so I have 
not been willing to update.
Thanks for any information.
Max.

Hi,

Apologies for the empty email apparently that's part of the problem I'm having

Setting up new iphone

2015-10-11 Thread Andrew Lamanche
Hi,

I've been using iphone 5C.  I will shortly be receiving my birthday present of 
iphone 6S, and I was wondering what's the best way of setting it up.  Is it 
best to set it up from the beginning?  Or  can I restore apps and settings from 
the latest backup of my iphone 5C?  If the latter is better so speak, how would 
I go about it?  Any help would b welcome.

Thanks in advance

Andrew

Re: Really weird, and strange issue when dictating

2015-10-11 Thread christopher hallsworth
Hi

Well today I had my bluetooth speakers connected to my iPad Mini 2 and listened 
to an album downloaded from Apple Music. When I turned the speakers off, the 
device went back to internal speakers, but the VoiceOver sounds were looping 
like a broken record. Gosh it was awful. I could hear VoiceOver just about so I 
can power down and power back up the iPad. Everything is now ok.
