RE: A rant about KNFB Reader and my very, very small brain

2015-10-16 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Krister,

I suggest you try out Richard's suggestion and figure out what works best for 
you. I prefer to use KNFB Reader in portrait mode since it's more intuitive for 
me to just put the page in front of me like I would read it, but essentially I 
do the same, i.e. put the phone so the camera corner is approx. in the middle 
of the page, I check to see if the left edge of the phone is roughly parallel 
to the edge of the paper, then I raide the phone up a good foot and do my 
thing. It's better to raise it a bit too high rather than having it too low, a 
few inches more don't seem to make a difference when it comes to accuracy of 
the OCR and you are more likely to have all four edges of the page in view.

Now, if, for example, the app tells you that the phone only sees the top and 
the left edge, then you have to move the phone a bit right and down since 
obviously it doesn't see those edges.

If it says you are 10 degrees counter clockwise, then just turn the phone 
slightly clockwise. You can actually test this by deliveratly turning the phone 
either clockwise or counter clockwise, let's say at least 45 degrees, so about 
half way between portrait and landscape. Then do a field of view report and see 
what it says, now try to hold the phone more or less straight and do it again. 
Compare what it said, doing it sort of by extremes can really help to bring the 
point home. It doesn't matter if you turn the phone clockwise or counter 
clockwise, just make sure you take notice if it says 40 degrees clockwise and 
you then rotate it counter clockwise by approximately that amount and now it 
says 5 degrees clockwise you know you turned it the right way, but not quite 
enough, if it now says 8 degrees counter clockwise you know you turned it the 
right way but a bit too much. I find that if it's less than 5 degrees the 
results are usually very good since the app of course corrects for a small 
amount of error.
The vibration I assume is self-explanatory, if the phone vibrates you are 
holding it tipped side to side or front to back and you just have to make very 
small adjustments until it stops vibrating.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hi and thanks for that explanation. I actually never thought about having the 
document in landscape, probably because i always have the phone in portrait, 
but it’s certainly well worth trying. What does that ”rotated so and so many 
degrees clockwise” mean and what does it refer to? Is it the paper you should 
adjust then?

Resetting iphone 5C to pass on to somebody else

2015-10-16 Thread Andrew Lamanche
Hi,

Just wanted to ask your advice how best to reset my iphone 5C which I'm going 
to pass onto a family member.  can I reset it after I've removed the SIM card 
from it?  Or do I have to reset it while my sIM card is still in it?  I will be 
using the same sIM card with my new iphone 6S.  I'm just not sure whether you 
can reset the iphone without the SIM card being in it.

Many thanks for any advice.

Andrew

Re: A rant about KNFB Reader and my very, very small brain

2015-10-16 Thread Alan Lemly
I'll add to Richard's and Sieghard's excellent comments. 

I think contrast is very important in getting a reliable field of view report 
particularly where the four corners are concerned. Since most pages I scan are 
white, I saved an old TV tray top that is dark green. This makes a great 
surface to place my pages on before doing a KNFB field of view report. If you 
have a table that you know is a darker brown, that also would provide good 
background contrast for white pages being scanned. 

Good luck.

RE: A rant about KNFB Reader and my very, very small brain

2015-10-16 Thread M. Taylor
Krister,

When using the Field of View report, it is not necessary to receive a zero 
degree rotation.  

My experience has been that as long as I get either a plus or minus 6-8 degree 
rotation, I take the picture and have excellent results.  

Why is the degree of rotation important.  The short anser is that, generally 
speaking, the less rotation, the better the OCR.

However, all things being equal, that is to say, the font is large enough and 
the paper contrast is good enough, etc, the app can recognize most text without 
a zero degree rotation.

If, however, you were scanning a document that used extremely stylized text or 
that was very, very small or that had a reflective serfice, then a smaller 
degree of rotation may give you better OCR results

Oh, to your original question, the degree of rotation is based on a clock.  So, 
if you receive a message a plus 7 degrees clockwise rotation message, during 
the field of view report, then rotate the phone a little bit counterclockwise, 
that is to say, from right to left, as though you were counting down or 
backward on a analog clock face.

Finally, I find that I can usually get the photo in one shot if I stand, rather 
than sit, when using the app.  Of course, I do have some vision and doubtless 
this is a tremendous advantage when taking a photo.

I'll add to Richard's and Sieghard's excellent comments. 

I think contrast is very important in getting a reliable field of view report 
particularly where the four corners are concerned. Since most pages I scan are 
white, I saved an old TV tray top that is dark green. This makes a great 
surface to place my pages on before doing a KNFB field of view report. If you 
have a table that you know is a darker brown, that also would provide good 
background contrast for white pages being scanned. 

Good luck.

Re: Updating IOS and the hello screen:

2015-10-16 Thread Rajmund
Hello,
If you double tap something but English, you have to set it up in that 
language. Although, when I got to the password bit, and because I didn't have a 
password, when I turned it off and on, it started from the language again, but 
I'd rather not try a different language, unless you know the language.

Re: Resetting iphone 5C to pass on to somebody else

2015-10-16 Thread Woody Anna Dresner
Hi Andrew,

I don't think you can do anything with the phone if it doesn't have a sim card 
in it. Do all your resetting, removing from iCloud, etc. and remove the sim 
card once you've made sure the phone is erased. Your relative will need a sim 
card to be able to use the phone.

Best,

Re: Looking for a ring tone app

to all,

I suggest for you to go to contact and you can find ring tone. if you pick 
your favorite people yo like more, thengo edit your favorite peole and 
change ring tone as yo like. your choice. . so that this would give you 
opporutnities to know whose ring tones belong to. anywya, for anyone you 
don't necessarily follow, let this go as routine. but it is worth for yo to 
look after your favorite people and yo set up what way you want on ring 
tone.  for each favorite person. good luck!


maybe my suggestion is not good enough.

Hi Jen,

Have you tried going to settings in the zedge app, and tapping autopreview 
ringtones? It will not select like a normal button, but tap it and wait for 
it to say on. It will be a little bit delayed. That's how I got mine to

If you are also using Eloquence there, then it could be you are so used to the 
way Eloquence speaks that you have not gotten used to the other voices.
Hopefully, it will come in time.

Hello,
Hmm. Strange. As I said, its probably just me not used to it, but I do find 
punctuated messages more clear on windows, or note takers, for that matter.. 
Oh, sorry for the spelling errors, I thought I capitalised I, and added the ' 
obviously I haven't.

I just read both your message and Alex Hall's message in this thread at 80% and 
85% using the American Female Siri voice and the pauses for commas were very 
clear to me.

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!

Cribbage

2015-10-16 Thread Lynette Frison
Hi,

Does anyone know of any other cribbage games for iOs that are accessible with 
VO? I use cribbage pro, but it has some VO issues and when I've written to the 
developer about them, I was told VO should read the cards being played, which 
it doesn't, as well as the count, and a few other things that would make it 
easier and enable me to play faster. Online games are slow for me because I am 
often unaware that it is my turn, or I have to manually check which card my 
opponent has played. Luckily, I have some very patient sighted friends. If 
anyone knows of a crib game that could be played through game centre, for 
example, that would be awesome.

Thanks,
Lynette

RE: Resetting iphone 5C to pass on to somebody else

2015-10-16 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Andrew,

You do not need a SIM card in the phone in order to reset it.

In fact, I strongly suggest that you reset the phone after removing the SIM.  
Why?  Because, if you completely reset the phone after removing the SIM card, 
then it cannot be activated until a new SIM is inserted.  

This is exactly what you want to happen for the new user of the phone as 
activating the phone with the SIM ties the phone and SIM together, in a way, 
from the wireless carrier's perspective.  

Were you to reset the phone with your original SIM inserted, then, upon the 
reset, the phone would automatically be activated on your SIM, again.  While 
this is not a completely bad thing, it is not as clean a solution as my 
recommendation.  

Finally, the following URL is a link to an article that provides the 
recommended steps one should follow before completely resetting the phone, in 
preparation, for resale.

http://9to5mac.com/2015/08/25/how-to-safely-prepare-wipe-your-iphone-for-resale-trade-in/

Good Luck,

Mark

Hi,

Just wanted to ask your advice how best to reset my iphone 5C which I'm going 
to pass onto a family member.  can I reset it after I've removed the SIM card 
from it?  Or do I have to reset it while my sIM card is still in it?  I will be 
using the same sIM card with my new iphone 6S.  I'm just not sure whether you 
can reset the iphone without the SIM card being in it.

Many thanks for any advice.

 Hi Jen,

Have you tried going to settings in the zedge app, and tapping autopreview 
ringtones? It will not select like a normal button, but tap it and wait for it 
to say on. It will be a little bit delayed. That's how I got mine to play.

Re: deleting a post from facebook

2015-10-16 Thread Candie Doy
Hello.

As far as I can see, you haven’t gotten an answer to your question, yet, but if 
someone has already answered, I apologise. Anyway, I haven’t used Facebook in 
quite a while, but I hope this might help you.
1. In your timeline, or while viewing your profile in the 'more' tab, locate 
the post you want to edit.
2. Double tap with two fingers, and a list of buttons will appear, including 
like, share, comment, more, and cancel. The one you want is the button labeled 
'more.'
3. Then, you’ll get more options, including, but not limited to, ‘edit post,’ 
‘edit privacy,’ ‘hide from timeline,’ and ‘delete.’
4. Choose which one you want from there.
I apologise if the wording isn’t completely accurate, but I think it should be 
close enough to accomplish what you want. :-)
I hope this helps you.

Have a great day! ☺️

Subject: A Very Surprising Suggestion by an Apple Accessibility Technical 
Support Representative

Hello Everyone,

As I have posted, on-list, since updating to iOS 9.0.2, I have not been able to 
either add or remove any media from my iPhone 5 S, 
be it audio books, ring tones, music, etc.

After extensive research, I discovered that many of those using iTunes for 
Windows and even some using OS X, were experiencing the 
same problem.  As would be expected, there were suggestions as to how to 
resolve this problem.
I tried all of them and none worked, for me.

Finally, yesterday, I decided to call the Apple accessibility support number.

As it is not my intention to write a novel here, I will just provide the sum 
and substance of my call.  By the way, I want you to 
know that the tech was very gracious and professional.  As I had dedicated an 
entire afternoon to resolving this problem, I, too, 
was very patient and polite.

1.
I asked the rep if he was familiar or had any recent experience using iTunes 
for Windows.  He said yes.

2.
He told me that he had heard of no problems with syncing between the 5 S 
running 9.0.2 and that he was personally using Windows with 
a 5 S with no
problem during our call.

3.
Because I have yet to hear an Apple support specialist admit that there may be 
a bug in anything, (just my experience, mind you), I 
had prepared a URL to give to the tech to prove that this problem has been 
reported to Apple since as early as the first release of 
iOS 9.0.  I will admit that it gave me a lot of satisfaction when he returned 
to the line, after visiting the site containing the 
reports, minus his, if not arrogance, then his conviction that mine was an 
isolated issue.

4.
After spending a lot of time on the phone with no success, he inadvertently 
admitted that he was using a Mac to help me 
troubleshoot.  This came up because we were searching for some system files 
that clearly do not exist on a Windows PC.  When I 
called him out on this, he admitted that he was not using a Windows PC during 
our call.

The Surprise:
5.
He suggested that I use a third-party application, instead of iTunes, to sync 
my iOS devices.

I was really stunned at his suggestion, to say the least.

He was unable to resolve my problem.

However, I am delighted to report that, after doing some thinking on the 
matter, I decided to attempt a different approach and, 
thankfully, it was successful.  The following are the steps I took in order to 
resolve the
problem:

1.
Before launching iTunes for Windows and attaching my 5 S, after unhiding the 
system files, I deleted the .iPSW file that was 
initially downloaded in iTunes.  Doing this forced iTunes to download a fresh 
copy of iOS 9.0.2 to my PC.

2.
I restored my 5 S and set it up as a new phone.

3.
I then restored a previously saved backup of my 5 S.

Now, all is working as it should and I am experiencing absolutely no 
synchronization problems.

Mark

Re: Going back one screen from the bluetooth keyboard when there's no escape key?

Nah, that reads the screen from the cursor position. I have actually found out 
by reading the manual for the keyboard model that this is perfectly normal 
behaviour. Since it is a cross platform model meant to work on all major 
smartphone platforms there’s only an escape key for windows Os when the 
keyboard works with Android or iOs it presses the home button. This is also why 
in an earlier thread i was asking if anyone knew how the Zagg Pocket keyboard 
worked, if there is an escape key there or if there’s just a key to press the 
home button.

A rant about KNFB Reader and my very, very small brain

2015-10-16 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hello,
I have been using the KNFB reader for a good while now and think it’s pretty 
decent. It does what it’s supposed to do i guess and does it well. This rant is 
about the one feature my stupid brain isn’t capable of comprehending, namely 
the ”field of view” report.

Now i understand that this feature is quite important and that you probably can 
get excellent results out of the KNFB reader if only i understood how to 
interpret and operate the field of view thing. For example i have never, ever, 
ever made four corners visible in a document. All four edges are visible 
alright but only 3 corners are visible all the time and the rotation thing… No 
matter how i adjust the paper, twist my hands into various painful angles, turn 
the phone, turn myself or turn myself, the phone and twist my hands in various 
painful angles all at the same time, it’s always rotated so and so many degrees 
clockwise or anticlockwise and nothing seems to help that. How should i 
interpret the rotating things, they must be there for a reason only i’m too 
dumb to calculate it out for myself. Maybe i’m holding the phone wrong somehow, 
wouldn’t surprice me in the least, but i don’t know how to hold it ”right”.
I would be grateful for any explanation of this so that i know what obvious 
thing i do wrong.

RE: A rant about KNFB Reader and my very, very small brain

2015-10-16 Thread Richard Turner
Hi,
Well, it sounds like at least you get a good workout while using the app, grin.

In my opinion, the best way to get used to using the app and making sure you 
have the phone in the right position is to do the following:

1.  put the page you want to scan on a table or desk in landscape mode near the 
edge of the surface closest to you.  So, the long side would be toward you and 
the short sides will be pointed left to right.

2.  lay the phone flat on the page pointed in the same direction as the page, 
so the long side is toward you with the corner that contains the camera as 
close to the center of the page as possible.  
If you have trouble judging where the center is, before you lay the phone on 
the page, fold the page in half the long way, unfold it and then folder it in 
half the short way and lay it back flat on the surface.  That way, where the 
folds meet is the center of the page.  
Place the camera on that spot.

3.  Use both hands to raise the phone straight up about one foot.  I hold the 
corners of the phone with my thumbs and little fingers so my other fingers are 
pointed at each other.  Some people actually put their elbows on the desk to 
help steady their hands.

Once you have the phone about a foot off the page, and level, gently reach a 
finger to the field of view report button and double tap.
A tricky  movement but not too hard.  The main thing it to not tilt the phone 
while doing this.

After a while, you will get used to how high to raise the phone and how to have 
the camera aimed at the center so you can do it with one hand and get good 
scans.

I hope that helped,
Richard

How to hotswitch between running apps in iPhone 6S

Subject: A Very Surprising Suggestion by an Apple Accessibility Technical 
Support Representative


Hello Everyone,

As I have posted, on-list, since updating to iOS 9.0.2, I have not been able 
to either add or remove any media from my iPhone 5 S, be it audio books, 
ring tones, music, etc.


After extensive research, I discovered that many of those using iTunes for 
Windows and even some using OS X, were experiencing the same problem.  As 
would be expected, there were suggestions as to how to resolve this problem.

I tried all of them and none worked, for me.

Finally, yesterday, I decided to call the Apple accessibility support 
number.


As it is not my intention to write a novel here, I will just provide the sum 
and substance of my call.  By the way, I want you to know that the tech was 
very gracious and professional.  As I had dedicated an entire afternoon to 
resolving this problem, I, too, was very patient and polite.


1.
I asked the rep if he was familiar or had any recent experience using iTunes 
for Windows.  He said yes.


2.
He told me that he had heard of no problems with syncing between the 5 S 
running 9.0.2 and that he was personally using Windows with a 5 S with no

problem during our call.

3.
Because I have yet to hear an Apple support specialist admit that there may 
be a bug in anything, (just my experience, mind you), I had prepared a URL 
to give to the tech to prove that this problem has been reported to Apple 
since as early as the first release of iOS 9.0.  I will admit that it gave 
me a lot of satisfaction when he returned to the line, after visiting the 
site containing the reports, minus his, if not arrogance, then his 
conviction that mine was an isolated issue.


4.
After spending a lot of time on the phone with no success, he inadvertently 
admitted that he was using a Mac to help me troubleshoot.  This came up 
because we were searching for some system files that clearly do not exist on 
a Windows PC.  When I called him out on this, he admitted that he was not 
using a Windows PC during our call.


The Surprise:
5.
He suggested that I use a third-party application, instead of iTunes, to 
sync my iOS devices.


I was really stunned at his suggestion, to say the least.

He was unable to resolve my problem.

However, I am delighted to report that, after doing some thinking on the 
matter, I decided to attempt a different approach and, thankfully, it was 
successful.  The following are the steps I took in order to resolve the

problem:

1.
Before launching iTunes for Windows and attaching my 5 S, after unhiding the 
system files, I deleted the .iPSW file that was initially downloaded in 
iTunes.  Doing this forced iTunes to download a fresh copy of iOS 9.0.2 to 
my PC.


2.
I restored my 5 S and set it up as a new phone.

3.
I then restored a previously saved backup of my 5 S.

Now, all is working as it should and I am experiencing absolutely no 
synchronization problems.

iMazing, formerly DiskAid for Windows, was RE: A Very Surprising Suggestion by an Apple Accessibility Technical Support Representative

2015-10-16 Thread Richard Turner
I tried the trial version of iMazing with both Window-Eyes and NVDA and find it 
mostly useless.
I tried to submit a ticket request through their web site and that was also not 
very accessible.  
So, have any Windows users using a screen reader found a way to use this app?

Hello Richard, the third-party app he recommended was iMazing.  He said that 
there is both a Mac and a Windows version.

A sighted friend of mine uses iMazing on the Mac and swears by it.

Subject: A Very Surprising Suggestion by an Apple Accessibility Technical 
Support Representative

Hello Everyone,

As I have posted, on-list, since updating to iOS 9.0.2, I have not been able to 
either add or remove any media from my iPhone 5 S, 
be it audio books, ring tones, music, etc.

After extensive research, I discovered that many of those using iTunes for 
Windows and even some using OS X, were experiencing the 
same problem.  As would be expected, there were suggestions as to how to 
resolve this problem.
I tried all of them and none worked, for me.

Finally, yesterday, I decided to call the Apple accessibility support number.

As it is not my intention to write a novel here, I will just provide the sum 
and substance of my call.  By the way, I want you to 
know that the tech was very gracious and professional.  As I had dedicated an 
entire afternoon to resolving this problem, I, too, 
was very patient and polite.

1.
I asked the rep if he was familiar or had any recent experience using iTunes 
for Windows.  He said yes.

2.
He told me that he had heard of no problems with syncing between the 5 S 
running 9.0.2 and that he was personally using Windows with 
a 5 S with no
problem during our call.

3.
Because I have yet to hear an Apple support specialist admit that there may be 
a bug in anything, (just my experience, mind you), I 
had prepared a URL to give to the tech to prove that this problem has been 
reported to Apple since as early as the first release of 
iOS 9.0.  I will admit that it gave me a lot of satisfaction when he returned 
to the line, after visiting the site containing the 
reports, minus his, if not arrogance, then his conviction that mine was an 
isolated issue.

4.
After spending a lot of time on the phone with no success, he inadvertently 
admitted that he was using a Mac to help me 
troubleshoot.  This came up because we were searching for some system files 
that clearly do not exist on a Windows PC.  When I 
called him out on this, he admitted that he was not using a Windows PC during 
our call.

The Surprise:
5.
He suggested that I use a third-party application, instead of iTunes, to sync 
my iOS devices.

I was really stunned at his suggestion, to say the least.

He was unable to resolve my problem.

However, I am delighted to report that, after doing some thinking on the 
matter, I decided to attempt a different approach and, 
thankfully, it was successful.  The following are the steps I took in order to 
resolve the
problem:

1.
Before launching iTunes for Windows and attaching my 5 S, after unhiding the 
system files, I deleted the .iPSW file that was 
initially downloaded in iTunes.  Doing this forced iTunes to download a fresh 
copy of iOS 9.0.2 to my PC.

2.
I restored my 5 S and set it up as a new phone.

3.
I then restored a previously saved backup of my 5 S.

Now, all is working as it should and I am experiencing absolutely no 
synchronization problems.

Mark

It is the bowlers with averages of I believe 150 and above, that never miss 
spare shots. I don’t mind that, but no one, not even pro bowlers can make 
split shots every time. Smiles, I seem to get Susan who has I think a 194 
average. There is one or two other random people that I get also. I have 
gotten Kathy once or twice. Now she does misses spares from time to time. 
Her average is around 107 I think. As I stated in my previous post, This is 
a nice bowling app for voiceover users. It just needs a bit of adjusting, 
and some added features, such as having the ability to view scores during 
the game. I have purchased the unlimited play  in app purchase.

Blind fold bowling is a nice game. I have contacted the developer, and I 
have gotten a response from him. When playing against the computer, in 
“single finger mode”, it is impossible to win. Smiles, the computer never 
misses a spare shot. No matter what pins are left, and no matter how bit 
the split, the computer will convert the shot every time  smiles! I also 
ask if the scores could be reviewed during the game.

RE: A Very Surprising Suggestion by an Apple Accessibility Technical Support Representative

2015-10-16 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Dropbox or OneDrive both should do more or less what you want, only thing is 
that the files the app on your iOS device sees are synced to the cloud. Of 
course they are also in their respective folders inside Dropbox or OneDrive on 
the computer, but the app will see the cloud version. There are other file 
manager apps, but they basically work the same way. Some may actually see the 
files on your computer, I believe one such is "Tonido" but I am not sure if I 
spell this correctly. There was a lot of talk about that app about a year ago.

Sieghard

Speaking of third-party apps, do you know of a app I can run on my ios device 
that will do some thing like the following?

I connect the ios device to my computer.
Then I run a app on the ios device I would call open in.
Then you could use this app to browse the files on your computer such as: a 
file called The Case of the Counterfeit Eye.zip.  Doubletap and hold on the

Subject: A Very Surprising Suggestion by an Apple Accessibility Technical 
Support Representative

Hello Everyone,

As I have posted, on-list, since updating to iOS 9.0.2, I have not been able 
to either add or remove any media from my iPhone 5 S, be it audio books, 
ring tones, music, etc.

After extensive research, I discovered that many of those using iTunes for 
Windows and even some using OS X, were experiencing the same problem.  As 
would be expected, there were suggestions as to how to resolve this problem.
I tried all of them and none worked, for me.

Finally, yesterday, I decided to call the Apple accessibility support 
number.

As it is not my intention to write a novel here, I will just provide the sum 
and substance of my call.  By the way, I want you to know that the tech was 
very gracious and professional.  As I had dedicated an entire afternoon to 
resolving this problem, I, too, was very patient and polite.

1.
I asked the rep if he was familiar or had any recent experience using iTunes 
for Windows.  He said yes.

2.
He told me that he had heard of no problems with syncing between the 5 S 
running 9.0.2 and that he was personally using Windows with a 5 S with no
problem during our call.

3.
Because I have yet to hear an Apple support specialist admit that there may 
be a bug in anything, (just my experience, mind you), I had prepared a URL 
to give to the tech to prove that this problem has been reported to Apple 
since as early as the first release of iOS 9.0.  I will admit that it gave 
me a lot of satisfaction when he returned to the line, after visiting the 
site containing the reports, minus his, if not arrogance, then his 
conviction that mine was an isolated issue.

4.
After spending a lot of time on the phone with no success, he inadvertently 
admitted that he was using a Mac to help me troubleshoot.  This came up 
because we were searching for some system files that clearly do not exist on 
a Windows PC.  When I called him out on this, he admitted that he was not 
using a Windows PC during our call.

The Surprise:
5.
He suggested that I use a third-party application, instead of iTunes, to 
sync my iOS devices.

I was really stunned at his suggestion, to say the least.

He was unable to resolve my problem.

However, I am delighted to report that, after doing some thinking on the 
matter, I decided to attempt a different approach and, thankfully, it was 
successful.  The following are the steps I took in order to resolve the
problem:

1.
Before launching iTunes for Windows and attaching my 5 S, after unhiding the 
system files, I deleted

Hello Alex,
So, I've tried your suggestion below just now. I touch the bottom of the 
screen. When on the last message, I delete it. When I do that, it loses focus. 
Meaning, it goes to the top. Is this a bug, or am I missing something here? So, 
I have 40 messages. I scroll down, do a read all. To delete the message, I have 
to scroll to the bottom again. Why's that?

Possibly deleting is the culprit. Try using the edit option instead; hit the 
edit button, then do the swiping left thing to start at the bottom. Double tap 
the messages to delete, then use the delete button to get rid of them all. As I

Re: A Very Surprising Suggestion by an Apple Accessibility Technical Support Representative

2015-10-16 Thread Paul Richard McGann
well, I suggest for you to call apple accessibility to get clear facts. I 
suggest to get the name of guy who gave the instructions. if you call 
anyone, and they know might know nothing and not being able to help. if yo 
have the name of guy, get the name and ask group for him and he might be 
there.  he might help yo with something.

Speaking of third-party apps, do you know of a app I can run on my ios
device that will do some thing like the following?

I connect the ios device to my computer.
Then I run a app on the ios device I would call open in.
Then you could use this app to browse the files on your computer such as: a
file
called The Case of the Counterfeit Eye.zip.  Doubletap and
hold on the file and get a menu like:

dismiss pop up

AirDrop Button
Mail Button
Open in Voice Dream Button
Open in BARD Mobile Button
Open in Learning Ally Button
Quick view Button

Hello Richard, the third-party app he recommended was iMazing.  He said that
there is both a Mac and a Windows version.

A sighted friend of mine uses iMazing on the Mac and swears by it.

Subject: A Very Surprising Suggestion by an Apple Accessibility Technical
Support Representative

Hello Everyone,

As I have posted, on-list, since updating to iOS 9.0.2, I have not been able
to either add or remove any media from my iPhone 5 S, be it audio books,
ring tones, music, etc.

After extensive research, I discovered that many of those using iTunes for
Windows and even some using OS X, were experiencing the same problem.  As
would be expected, there were suggestions as to how to resolve this problem.
I tried all of them and none worked, for me.

Finally, yesterday, I decided to call the Apple accessibility support
number.

As it is not my intention to write a novel here, I will just provide the sum
and substance of my call.  By the way, I want you to know that the tech was
very gracious and professional.  As I had dedicated an entire afternoon to
resolving this problem, I, too, was very patient and polite.

1.
I asked the rep if he was familiar or had any recent experience using iTunes
for Windows.  He said yes.

2.
He told me that he had heard of no problems with syncing between the 5 S
running 9.0.2 and that he was personally using Windows with a 5 S with no
problem during our call.

3.
Because I have yet to hear an Apple support specialist admit that there may
be a bug in anything, (just my experience, mind you), I had prepared a URL
to give to the tech to prove that this problem has been reported to Apple
since as early as the first release of iOS 9.0.  I will admit that it gave
me a lot of satisfaction when he returned to the line, after visiting the
site containing the reports, minus his, if not arrogance, then his
conviction that mine was an isolated issue.

4.
After spending a lot of time on the phone with no success, he inadvertently
admitted that he was using a Mac to help me troubleshoot.  This came up
because we were searching for some system files that clearly do not exist on
a Windows PC.  When I called him out on this, he admitted that he was not
using a Windows PC during our call.

The Surprise:
5.
He suggested that I use a third-party application, instead of iTunes, to
sync my iOS devices.

I was really stunned at his suggestion, to say the least.

He was unable to resolve my problem.

However, I am delighted to report that, after doing some thinking on the
matter, I decided to attempt a different approach and, thankfully, it was
successful.  The following are the steps I took in order to resolve the
problem:

1.
Before launching iTunes for Windows and attaching my 5 S, after unhiding the
system files, I deleted the .iPSW file that was initially downloaded in
iTunes.  Doing this forced iTunes to download a fresh copy of iOS 9.0.2 to
my PC.

2.
I restored my 5 S and set it up as a new phone.

3.
I then restored a previously saved backup of my 5 S.

Now, all is working as it should and I am experiencing absolutely no
synchronization

Possibly deleting is the culprit. Try using the edit option instead; hit the 
edit button, then do the swiping left thing to start at the bottom. Double tap 
the messages to delete, then use the delete button to get rid of them all. As I

SoundCloud on the iPhone?

2015-10-16 Thread Jim Portillo
Hello.  I am kind of needing to use a service such as SoundCloud to share some 
things on Facebook.  However, I can't seem to figure a lot of it out, and what 
I do figure out is partial.  
Has anyone had luck using SoundCloud recently?  I guess from what I've been 
told, the layout has changed.
I'd love to hear from any SoundCloud iPhone users out there because I'm needing 
some tips.
Thanks so much.

once or twice. Now she does misses spares from time to time. Her average is 
around 107 I think. As I stated in my previous post, This is a nice bowling app 
for voiceover users. It just needs a bit of adjusting, and some added features, 
such as having the ability to view scores during the game. I have purchased the

RE: A Question To Those Running iOS 9.02 on an iPhone 5 S Syncing with iTunes for Windows

I don't do ring tones but I do synch music and apps. I do a regular backup to

Hello Ron,

Thank you for your reply;

Just to be sure we're on the same page, are you saying that you have no 
problems adding or removing music, books, ring tones, etc to and from your 5 S, 
via iTunes for Windows on your PC?  That is, you make the media changes on your 
PC, then attach the phone, then sync?

Is that right?

Mark

Hello, Everyone,

As I received no reply to my question, in a different thread, I thought I would 
try a different approach.  

Is there anyone successfully synchronizing an iPhone 5 S, running iOS 9.02, 
with iTunes for Windows?  

If so, did you initially encounter any syncing difficulties and if so, how were 
they resolved?

Thank you,

Re: an audio tutorial on blindfold bowling

2015-10-16 Thread Victor Gouveia
You can also copy the link to your clipboard, then, use your player to play 
the content by pasting the link into the open dialog box of what ever player 
you use.


For example, if you use Winamp on a Windows computer, open up the main 
window and press control+L.


In the resulting dialog box, paste the link and press enter.

The link should start playing right away, or, if it doesn't, simply press 
the spacebar and it'll start the playback.


This should be common with any player, especially if you are able to stream 
content from the internet, such as podcasts and the like.


This can also be done with Windows Media Player, VLC Media player and other 
players.


I'm sorry, but I don't know how this process happens with a MAC computer, so 
someone else will have to chime in on the thread who uses these devices.


Good luck.

Help with myway classic

2015-10-16 Thread Jeremy Gilley
Hey all,

 

Could use some help. With the loss of what remaining vision I had, I can no
longer navigate through my apartment parking lot as easily as I once did.

Someone mentioned that with myway classic, someone could pinpoint certain
points within a rout to help navigate them where they are.

Well, I need to mark a certain turnoff, or avenue that I need to turn off.

Unfortunately, there are no sidewalks to help me mark certain points, only
curbs.

Can someone by chance email me off list so we don't clutter the list with
some directions as to how I can set up markers?

I thought someone said just shake the phone, but when I tried it this
morning, nothing happened.

I tried to find a simple manual, but couldn't find any.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I have not played Cribbage Pro since the last update, but it has always read 
the cards being played, and the scores just fine.
You can also then slide your finger around and read them.

RE: Going back one screen from the Bluetooth keyboard when there's no escape key?

2015-10-16 Thread Jennie Facer
Hi Krister,
 I have the Zagg Pocket keyboard also. I ended up changing modifier key  to 
caps lock and then the letter h to go home. There is no escape on that 
keyboard. I made suggestions to those guys about putting one in future versions 
of the keyboard also.

Nah, that reads the screen from the cursor position. I have actually found out 
by reading the manual for the keyboard model that this is perfectly normal 
behaviour. Since it is a cross platform model meant to work on all major 
smartphone platforms there’s only an escape key for windows Os when the 
keyboard works with Android or iOs it presses the home button. This is also why 
in an earlier thread i was asking if anyone knew how the Zagg Pocket keyboard 
worked, if there is an escape key there or if there’s just a key to press the 
home button.

Re: an audio tutorial on blindfold bowling

2015-10-16 Thread Paul Hunt
Hello everyone. I was fortunate. We had a bowling alley at the Michigan school 
for the blind so I bowled and set pins a lot so I'll describe the arrangement 
of the pins for you. First, there is a gutter on each side of the alley. You 
need to avoid the gutter.
Pin 1 is in the center of the alley and it is closest to the bowler.
The second row of pins has two pins, the 2 pin is on the left and the 3 pin  is 
on the right.
The third row Contains pins 4 5 and 6 from left to right.
The last row contains pins 7, 8, 9 and 10 pins from left to right. If you want 
to pick up those seven pins move your finger to number four to the left of 
center and you should pick them up. Have any of you tried two finger aim and 
throw? Have any of you beaten the computer yet?

Subject: A Very Surprising Suggestion by an Apple Accessibility Technical 
Support Representative

Hello Everyone,  

As I have posted, on-list, since updating to iOS 9.0.2, I have not been able to 
either add or remove any media from my iPhone 5 S, be it audio books, ring 
tones, music, etc.  

After extensive research, I discovered that many of those using iTunes for 
Windows and even some using OS X, were experiencing the same problem.  As would 
be expected, there were suggestions as to how to resolve this problem.
I tried all of them and none worked, for me.  

Finally, yesterday, I decided to call the Apple accessibility support number.  

As it is not my intention to write a novel here, I will just provide the sum 
and substance of my call.  By the way, I want you to know that the tech was 
very gracious and professional.  As I had dedicated an entire afternoon to 
resolving this problem, I, too, was very patient and polite.

1.
I asked the rep if he was familiar or had any recent experience using iTunes 
for Windows.  He said yes.  

2.
He told me that he had heard of no problems with syncing between the 5 S 
running 9.0.2 and that he was personally using Windows with a 5 S with no
problem during our call.   

3.
Because I have yet to hear an Apple support specialist admit that there may be 
a bug in anything, (just my experience, mind you), I had prepared a URL to give 
to the tech to prove that this problem has been reported to Apple since as 
early as the first release of iOS 9.0.  I will admit that it gave me a lot of 
satisfaction when he returned to the line, after visiting the site containing 
the reports, minus his, if not arrogance, then his conviction that mine was an 
isolated issue.

4.
After spending a lot of time on the phone with no success, he inadvertently 
admitted that he was using a Mac to help me troubleshoot.  This came up because 
we were searching for some system files that clearly do not exist on a Windows 
PC.  When I called him out on this, he admitted that he was not using a Windows 
PC during our call.

The Surprise:
5.
He suggested that I use a third-party application, instead of iTunes, to sync 
my iOS devices.

I was really stunned at his suggestion, to say the least.  

He was unable to resolve my problem.

However, I am delighted to report that, after doing some thinking on the 
matter, I decided to attempt a different approach and, thankfully, it was 
successful.  The following are the steps I took in order to resolve the
problem:

1.
Before launching iTunes for Windows and attaching my 5 S, after unhiding the 
system files, I deleted the .iPSW file that was initially downloaded in iTunes. 
 Doing this forced iTunes to download a fresh copy of iOS 9.0.2 to my PC.

2.
I restored my 5 S and set it up as a new phone.

3.
I then restored a previously saved backup of my 5 S.

Now, all is working as it should and I am experiencing absolutely no 
synchronization problems.

A Question About Games for iPhone

2015-10-16 Thread M. Taylor
There has been quite a discussion about accessible games for iOS, on-list.  

There used to be a game called Aurify that was, in my opinion, the best
audio game ever developed for iOS.  The game stopped working and stopped
being supported many years ago.

To those of you who may remember it, is there anything like it now?  

The most regretful thing about my experience with Aurify is that if I had
not updated my 3GS to iOS 4.0, I would still be enjoying it, today.  As it
turned out, I did update to iOS 4.0 and by the time I realized the
incompatibility problem, it was too late to return to iOS 3.1.3.  I still
have my 3GS and it continues to work just fine, even after all these years,
a testament to Steve Jobbs and Apple, no doubt.

Also, aside from chess, does anyone know of any VoiceOver accessible or
self-voicing board games for iOS such as monopoly?

Personally, I am not a fan of narrative games or games of violence so am
looking for a fun, happy, game that is easy to play.  

Thank you,

Hello Richard, the third-party app he recommended was iMazing.  He said
that there is both a Mac and a Windows version.

A sighted friend of mine uses iMazing on the Mac and swears by it.

Subject: A Very Surprising Suggestion by an Apple Accessibility Technical
Support Representative

Hello Everyone,

As I have posted, on-list, since updating to iOS 9.0.2, I have not been
able to either add or remove any media from my iPhone 5 S,
be it audio books, ring tones, music, etc.

After extensive research, I discovered that many of those using iTunes for
Windows and even some using OS X, were experiencing the
same problem.  As would be expected, there were suggestions as to how to
resolve this problem.
I tried all of them and none worked, for me.

Finally, yesterday, I decided to call the Apple accessibility support
number.

As it is not my intention to write a novel here, I will just provide the
sum and substance of my call.  By the way, I want you to
know that the tech was very gracious and professional.  As I had dedicated
an entire afternoon to resolving this problem, I, too,
was very patient and polite.

1.
I asked the rep if he was familiar or had any recent experience using
iTunes for Windows.  He said yes.

2.
He told me that he had heard of no problems with syncing between the 5 S
running 9.0.2 and that he was personally using Windows with
a 5 S with no
problem during our call.

3.
Because I have yet to hear an Apple support specialist admit that there
may be a bug in anything, (just my experience, mind you), I
had prepared a URL to give to the tech to prove that this problem has been
reported to Apple since as early as the first release of
iOS 9.0.  I will admit that it gave me a lot of satisfaction when he
returned to the line, after visiting the site containing the
reports, minus his, if not arrogance, then his conviction that mine was an
isolated issue.

4.
After spending a lot of time on the phone with no success, he
inadvertently admitted that he was using a Mac to help me
troubleshoot.  This came up because we were searching for some system
files that clearly do not exist on a Windows PC.  When I
called him out on this, he admitted that he was not using a Windows PC
during our call.

The Surprise:
5.
He suggested that I use a third-party application, instead of iTunes, to
sync my iOS devices.

I was really stunned at his suggestion, to say the least.

He was unable to resolve my problem.

However, I am delighted to report that, after doing some thinking on the
matter, I decided to attempt a different approach and,
thankfully, it was successful.  The following are the steps I took in
order to resolve the
problem:

1.
Before launching iTunes for Windows and attaching my 5 S, after unhiding
the system files, I deleted the .iPSW file that was
initially downloaded in iTunes.  Doing this forced iTunes to download a
fresh copy of iOS 9.0.2 to my PC.

2.
I restored my 5 S and set it up as a new phone.

3.
I then restored a previously saved backup of my 5 S.

Now, all is working as it should and I am experiencing absolutely no

Hi Don,

No, even if you double tap when another language is displayed, the setup will 
continue in English. I assume the phone already knows that it is in North 
America.
There really isn't that much to tab on and even in many other languages other 
than the Asian ones or maybe Russian etc. you sort of get the idea of what it 
means.

Hi,

 

If you don’t want to use VoiceOver and have everything speak to you but would 
rather use your vision, you want to turn on Zoom in Settings, General 
Accessibility, Zoom.  Zoom magnifies everything on the screen.

I’m going to paste in some basic instructions on how to use Zoom.  Feel free to 
ask questions.  

 

How to use ZOOM

To zoom in, or to zoom out - Simply double-tap with three fingers anywhere on 
the screen: as long as you have enabled the Zoom in your settings, this command 
will turn the zoom on or off, making text larger, as well as any other items 
visible on the display.

To move the screen while zooming is enabled - You need to use three fingers of 
your choice and pan around the glass display to move the current screen focus 
around and see other parts of the image you normally see in whole (1:1 scale, 
no zoom).

To increase or decrease the iPad default zoom level - Here too, use three 
fingers to double-tap in a special way. Tap once with three fingers, and tap 
another time quickly (still with three fingers), but don’t lift the second 
tap-just keep your fingers on the screen. Then, while still keeping your 
fingers in constant contact with the glass display, move up to increase the 
zoom (and zoom in further still), or move down to zoom out. Then, release your 
fingers and your iPad will keep the custom zoom level you chose (which is 
previewed in real time).

 

Perhaps to avoid puzzling surprises, Apple disabled this option by default; 
once you have become accustomed to it, you'll be able to magnify the screen at 
will, and probably never by accident since three-finger zoom commands are too 
unnatural to occur accidentally.

I also am starting to use my iPad, which my beloved gave me last Christmas, 
because it is supposed to work with Exho.  I needed to start using it anyway, 
even though I don't go to  lectures or even much out of the house at my age and 
infirmity.  One thing I am find ing extremenly perplexing is how the iPad 
supposedly is accessible but at the same time does not seem to be at all.  I 
went into settings to increase the size of the font but it didn't, exceptt   
the Settings.  I could use some typs on using iPad accessibility.

On the other  hand my beloved Kindle Keyboard is as gentle as a lamb, and just 
as tasty.

I told you I was a novelist.  My books are on Amazon under the names Nan 
Hawthorne and Christopher Hawthorne Moss and are both self published and also 
published formally.  If you are interested in any, let me know.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

As I said, I am typopathological, so forgive any I did not catch.

Kir Moss

Updating IOS and the hello screen:

2015-10-16 Thread Don Breda

A friend called me and asked me to help her updae her phone to IOS9.

She was concerned about the hello screen with all the differnet 
languages that comes up once the os OS is installed and the phone reboots.


In the past this screen has proven problematic with voiceover.

I dont' remember what i did to get past it.

Any tips on how to handle that?

Maybe its not a problem with IOS9 just can't remember.

If I can give her a way to do it reliably I would prefer that as opposed 
to going over there to do it for her.


Better to teach a person to fish...

Thanks in advance.

Don
