Re: Where do I find the compass and level on iPhone?

[Richard Turner]

The compass is probably in a folder that you didn't create. I think it is 
called Utilities or something. It is a default folder.
Once you open a three finger swipe from right to left will switch to the level.
You could also use the spotlight search to find the compass.

RE: Question on lightning dock

[Pinky]

Hi Sieghard,

Thanks for your great answer. I should have explained myself better and maybe 
taken the cock out of my dictionary and my word program. Ha ha. I guess I 
should have put down in my last email I was looking at the Apple Lightning 
Dock. I was wondering if anyone has use one and if they work with cases on the 
phone as advertised.

P.S. I will have to watch my typo in the future. LOL

Ed.

Hi Ed,

 

Well, now don’t get dirty on the list and tell SIRI to watch her language 
*smile*. 

Having said that, no, I don’t think you will be able to put your phone on a 
“cock”, oops, I meant “dock” with most cases. There are so-called dock extender 
cables which in the case of a Lightning dock, would have a female end on one 
side and a male Lightning connector on the other. You would plug the female end 
over the Lightning dock connector which is male and then plug the other end 
into your phone.

Especially the Otterbox Defender probably wouldn’t fit on a dock as it is big 
and bulky and has that rubber plug to close off the port to access the 
Lightning port.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering how well the Lightning dock works and can you use most 
cases with it. I have a 6s+ and was wondering if most cases will work in the 
cock. Will the Otterbox case work is one case I am interested in to see if it 
will work. Any opinion and suggestions about the apple lightning dock or other 
docks would be appreciated.

Question About Twitter Clients for IOS

[Keith Bundy]

Hello, all. I have used the native Twitter app and Twitterific on my iPhone. 
The native app has far too many ads bombarding me. Twitterific doesn't have the 
ads, but it is much more difficult to identify when others have joined you to a 
group or when people have liked or favorited your tweets.

Does anyone know of another option that might give me the best of both worlds 
without all the ads and invitations in the native Twitter app?

Thanks for any suggestions. 

Keith

Yes, you can change your network name by logging into your wireless router. 
We'd have to know what brand of router you're using to help.

Unless you're using an iPhone app to manage your router settings then I'd

RE: Fitbit Flex accessibility

[Terrie Terlau]

Can I get step count and distance count from the FitBit Flex as well as the 
vibrating alarms? Can Rebecca and others who use it comment on the info you can 
get from the app? Does it give false readings if you type a lot (I keyboard 
nearly constantly at work) and therefore move your hands or if you tap your 
foot? I am just scared of getting something and finding out it doesn’t work so 
well for me.

Thanks.

Terrie

Hi Cristobal. I have a fitbit flex. You use it through the fitbit app on your 
phone. There are silent alarms which you can set that vibrate. I can put it on 
my wrist or in my pocket and still feel the vibration.

Hello list,

So I’ve been in search of some sort of vibrating alarm clock that can wake me 
up in the morning to avoid disturbing my wife as I’m more the early bird of the 
two whereas she is more the type who hates mornings with a white hot intensity 
more powerful than  the sun...

Getting a tactile bedside clock to avoid having to engage my iPhone during the 
night and possibly wake her up is easy enough, but the alarm thing, not so much.

I’ve looked around and haven’t really found anything very convincing. They’re 
either inaccessible with bad reviews or more geared towards the deaf market 
which entails bed shaking mechanisms. Having lived through more than my  fair 
share of earthquakes including being woken up from a few in the middle of the 
night and currently living in earthquake country, this is an absolutely 
unappealing option for me. That and I’m sure my wife would probably strangle me 
in my sleep after the second or third time of it scaring her awake.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I was contemplating getting a Fitbit flex 
since in its description, a silent vibrating alarm is specifically highlighted 
as one of its features.

It’s been suggested to me to also consider getting an Apple Watch. I’m really 
not keen on getting an Apple Watch. Much less spending a couple hundred bucks 
even for a refurbished or used one for this one specific task. $80.00 is a more 
palatable option at least for this circumstance. 

Does anyone have any experience with the Fitbit or any of its variations and 
associated iOS apps? Is the device by itself or in conjunction with the iOS app 
or even connected to a PC accessible? Specifically when accessing this silent 
vibrating alarm feature?

 

Any input would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Cristobal

Re: Which Braille Display To Buy?

[Scott Dollar]

Hi,

Braille Edge is a 40 braille display.  It is not a notetaker that is according 
to Hims said.

You can find the products on Hims website.

www.hims-inc.com

Hope this help you.

Respectful,

RE: Which Braille Display To Buy?

[Richard Turner]

The Braille Edge is as well made as the U2.

In the Executive Products case, it is about 12.5 inches long

About 1 inch thick 

And about 4.5 inches from front to back.

 

How comfortable the keys are is very subjective.  I think they are extremely 
comfortable.

 

The pairing is very easy and it is very responsive once paired.

Hi Simon,

I am very interesting in some app that would let me listen to the outside world 
while having my headset on; however, when I looked at the three you mentioned, 
just reading their descriptions, here's what I found:

Ulisten: does not say anywhere that it will mix the environmental sounds with

Awareness: says it will not work with wireless headsets?

Speech Amp: could not find this one at all, is it still around?

Thanks for any other recommendations, or further explanations.

all of the above, for doing online super market shopping to be delivered.

ebay,

paypal,

various games, including a lot of the choice of games titles, king of dragon 
pass, turf wars, and many others, these are great for long train journeys, 
especially if one is feeling a bit tired, as they keep the brain more 
active, so one is less likely to fall asleep and miss one's station.
(I would recommend also running something like uListen, awareness, or speech 
amp, which will then also let you listen to what is going on around you such 
as station announcements, whilst you have your headphones on for your game).

trainline. for booking train tickets.

one click cab. for finding/calling taxis all over the UK.

in a pub, pub & bar finder, find me boozer. all of these are for finding 
local pubs all over the UK.

track my hack. this tracks my rout and speed, when I am horse riding.

hungry house, or just eat. for finding/ordering takeaways.

tide times. a useful one for those who like there sea swimming, and need to 
know local tide times.

music id, sound hound, music DNA id. these are good if you hear a good track

especially if the presenter has a habit of not mentioning what track is

listening apps; was How Do You Use iOS?

[Chip Orange]

Hi Simon,

I am very interesting in some app that would let me listen to the outside world 
while having my headset on; however, when I looked at the three you mentioned, 
just reading their descriptions, here's what I found:

Ulisten: does not say anywhere that it will mix the environmental sounds with 
other audio?

Awareness: says it will not work with wireless headsets?

Speech Amp: could not find this one at all, is it still around?

Thanks for any other recommendations, or further explanations.

Chip

I use a fair number already mentioned here, plus,
super market apps, such as tesco, sainsburys, ocado, asda, and morrisons. 
all of the above, for doing online super market shopping to be delivered.

ebay,

paypal,

various games, including a lot of the choice of games titles, king of dragon 
pass, turf wars, and many others, these are great for long train journeys, 
especially if one is feeling a bit tired, as they keep the brain more 
active, so one is less likely to fall asleep and miss one's station.
(I would recommend also running something like uListen, awareness, or speech 
amp, which will then also let you listen to what is going on around you such 
as station announcements, whilst you have your headphones on for your game).

trainline. for booking train tickets.

one click cab. for finding/calling taxis all over the UK.

in a pub, pub & bar finder, find me boozer. all of these are for finding 
local pubs all over the UK.

track my hack. this tracks my rout and speed, when I am horse riding.

hungry house, or just eat. for finding/ordering takeaways.

tide times. a useful one for those who like there sea swimming, and need to 
know local tide times.

music id, sound hound, music DNA id. these are good if you hear a good track 
on the radio and want to find out what it is to buy or download it, 
especially if the presenter has a habit of not mentioning what track is 
coming up, or just been played.

meet up. this one has really helped me improve my social life. it finds 
various groups in your area, that do all sorts of things, from the purely 
social, to the active.

various tv apps, such as bbc iPlayer, ITV hub, 4OD, demand 5, racing UK, and 
H play, (which is for the tv channel horse and country).

wild swimming britain, beach live, beach world, beach selecta, free swim. 
all of these to find good places for open water swimming.

I just want to thank you all for contributing to this thread.

Honestly, I cannot stop smiling when I read your lists of apps and discover 
all of the various ways you use them.

To those who have not yet posted, please remember that you do not need to 
list only apps that have not yet been mentioned; just list the apps that you 
use and how you use them if they are not self-explanatory.

Personally, I am making a list of all of the marvelous apps you have brought 
to my attention that I have not yet explored.

enough so I don't have to go into more details as to what exactly the Sonos 
system does, if somebody doesn't know and wants to know go to www.sonos.com 
and check the list archives for "Sonos" related posts.

Netatmo: requires the Netatmo weather station

Thermostat: requires the Wi-Fi capable thermostat from 
www.RadioThermostat.com

Nuheat: requires in-floor electric heating mats from Nuheat (the kind that 
are installed underneath tile floors. The app allows me to control the 
thermostats connected to each mat/room that has it, in my case two bathrooms 
and my kitchen.

Nest: I use it not for thermostat, but I purchased 5 Dropcam Pro a couple of 
years ago for security cameras for my retail store. Dropcam was then 
purchased by Nest and the Dropcam app was replaced with the Nest app. Of 
course the video feed is useless to me directly, but the cameras also 
transmit audio and you can press a button in the app and speak through the 
camera.

RE: Question on lightning dock

[Merv Keck]

Hi,

A few years ago when Apple switched over to lightning connectors I took the 
opportunity to purchase a really nice dock with base and charging and an even 
an app. Of course the app is not accessible but the dock will play on battery 
while keeping the phone charged for around seven hours. The interesting thing 
is that I got this really nice dock for about 66% off because it had a 30 pin 
connector. Then I got this little several inch long cable. I mean this cable is 
short. I got this little cable from Apple that has a 30 pin on one end and a 
lightning on the other so my phone plugs right into it. I have used it with 
both a 5S and my 6S+ now. It still sounds great.

It is not audiophile quality but it does what it is supposed to do. It is a 
Phillips Phidelio and probably not spelling that totally correct. I got it from 
amazon.

Hope that helps.

Merv

Hi Ed,

 

Well, now don’t get dirty on the list and tell SIRI to watch her language 
*smile*. 

Having said that, no, I don’t think you will be able to put your phone on a 
“cock”, oops, I meant “dock” with most cases. There are so-called dock extender 
cables which in the case of a Lightning dock, would have a female end on one 
side and a male Lightning connector on the other. You would plug the female end 
over the Lightning dock connector which is male and then plug the other end 
into your phone.

Especially the Otterbox Defender probably wouldn’t fit on a dock as it is big 
and bulky and has that rubber plug to close off the port to access the 
Lightning port.

Sieghard

RE: Which Braille Display To Buy?

[Karl Smith]

A good display for a good price is the Hims Braille Edge 40. It has 40 cells 
connects with PCs or iPhones and has basic note taking abilities. It sells for 
only $2,795.00. The only thing I would recommend other than this is to buy the 
Executive Products leather case which sells for $95.00. The case that comes 
with the Edge isn’t particularly good in my opinion.

Subject: Which Braille Display To Buy?

 

I don't have the money in hand yet, but I might become able to buy a braille 
display.  I would want at least 32 cells, preferably 40, and would use it both 
with a pc running Windows 10, with either Jaws, or NVDA, and my iPhone, the 
iPhone being the more important.  I don't know much about braille displays, I 
admit that I have never actually used one. I never thought I would have the 
money I could use to buy one.  So, if it were your own money buying it, which 
one would those of you who use them recommend?  I know about the Braille Edge, 
the Brilliant, and the one from Freedom Scientific, there may be others.  I 
know the answer to this question depends upon who one asks, but I am seeking 
opinions, in case this actually happens. Thanks for any opinions.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Brice Smith]

I would actually like to hear more about country-specific apps and
services people use in this thread. I think this local/regional
knowledge is informative for everyone and may be useful to travelers.
For example, can you share with us the best GPS apps that work in
Scandinavia? I'm assuming that BlindSquare, Apple Maps and Google Maps
all work there to some degree.

RE: Which Braille Display To Buy?

[Richard Turner]

I am not sure if Humanware is still making the Brailliant BI 32 and 40, but it 
has no builtin functions of its own.

 

The Braille Edge from HIMS is 40 cells, should sell for no more than $3,000 and 
you may be able to find a vendor who sells it for 1 or 2 hundred less.

I wouldn’t bother with the Focus 40 from Freedom Scientific.  It does not seem 
to be as well made and has no built-in functions.

The Vario Ultra 40 is going to run you about $3,400, has more builtin storage, 
but also has a key layout that some do not find very comfortable.  And, the 
internal note taker takes a fair amount of getting used to and the default 
settings seem a bit odd.  But, it can connect to several Bluetooth devices and 
you can switch devices on the fly.

 

I’m not sure anyone else is making a display with 32 or 40 cells right now.

 

I have the Braille Edge and like it a lot, though the note taking feature is 
very basic, it connects with the iPhone very nicely.

You do have to install the aJaws drivers and the USB driver if you plan to use 
it via USB with Jaws and at least the USB driver for NVDA.

 

I do not know what the driver situation is with the Vario Ultra.  If you don’t 
want any of the built-in functions, the Brailliant BI might be a good choice.

 

The Braille Edge, the Vario Ultra and the Humanware are all very well made.

 

If you want to use it on the go, the Vario Ultra comes with a good case for 
that.

 

The Braille Edge, unless you find a deal that includes the Executive Products 
case, would require buying that case extra for about $100.

 

I believe the Brailliant comes with a good case, but it has been a long time 
since I saw one.

 

HTH,

Richard

I don't have the money in hand yet, but I might become able to buy a braille

I have the VarioUltra. It has a 20 and 40 cell option, comes with a

RE: blood pressure and iphone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Thanks for the feedback, Keith, maybe as more Voiceover users buy the QardioArm 
hardware and request full accessibility of the app it will happen. I’ll 
certainly check it out and send my feedback to the company.
I guess I am going to send my Amazon unit back, though, since after I spoke 
with the customer service guy he must have assumed I definitely wanted to 
return it although I hadn’t quite decided. In any case, a few minutes after the 
call I received an email telling me that the return process had been initiated. 
Ordering from the company did end up costing $9.50 shipping, but for some 
reason they did not charge any taxes (we have 12% sales taxes here in British 
Columbia) so while the Amazon unit cost $124.99 + the taxes for a total of 
$139.99 (that is with free shipping) the one from QardioArm was just $104 + 
$9.50 shipping for a total of $113.50 so about $26.50 less.

I have not used the Bluetooth monitors but the wrist units I have tried all 
read 40 plus points high.  Be sure to check your new unit against a known good 
arm monitor or one at the doctor’s office.

While I was in rehab following an accident last year, an aide used a wrist 
monitor on me and read more than 100 points high.  He was going to write it in 
the log until I complained.  We settled on a reading that was only 40 points

Hi Joe,

I just ordered the QardioArm wireless blood pressure monitor which connects to 
your iOS device via Bluetooth and is supposed to work very well. A friend of 
mine in Germany already has one and is very happy with it and the app 
apparently is accessible.
Mine won’t be here for a few more days yet so I can’t give you my opinion until 
I have used it.
It comes in Arctic White, Electric Blue, Imperial Red, Racing Yellow and Gold.
Below is a link to the company’s own website followed by a link to it on 
Amazon.com and, for the Canadians on the list who might be interested, a link 
to it on Amazon.ca.
it seems to be around $77 on Amazon.com, here on Amazon.ca it was $124.00, a 
bit of a rip-off given the fact that the Canadian Dollar has ralleyed quite a 
bit and once again is around 80 Cents US. Oh well, I guess there is a price for 
living in a country without Donald Trump, I’ll take  *smile*.
OK, so I went on the company’s website and it’s listed at $124 Canadian but on 
sale for $104, also it appears with free shipping. I just called Amazon.ca 
customer service and was surprised that they don’t price match. They apparently 
rather get people to return the product which costs them shipping.

The QardioArm is not a wrist unit, it is an upper arm unit and is supposed to 
be clinically accurate. Of course I would check with a doctor if it showed my 
blood pressure to be way higher than what I would expect.

I have not used the Bluetooth monitors but the wrist units I have tried all 
read 40 plus points high.  Be sure to check your new unit against a known good 
arm monitor or one at the doctor’s office.

While I was in rehab following an accident last year, an aide used a wrist 
monitor on me and read more than 100 points high.  He was going to write it in 
the log until I complained.  We settled on a reading that was only 40 points 
high and I told the nurse.

Hi Joe,

I just ordered the QardioArm wireless blood pressure monitor which connects to 
your iOS device via Bluetooth and is supposed to work very well. A friend of 
mine in Germany already has one and is very happy with it and the app 
apparently is accessible.
Mine won’t be here for a few more days yet so I can’t give you my opinion until 
I have used it.
It comes in Arctic White, Electric Blue, Imperial Red, Racing Yellow and Gold.
Below is a link to the company’s own website followed by a link to it on 
Amazon.com and, for the Canadians on the list who might be interested, a link 
to it on Amazon.ca.
it seems to be around $77 on Amazon.com, here on Amazon.ca it was $124.00, a 
bit of a rip-off given the fact that the Canadian Dollar has ralleyed quite a 
bit and once again is around 80 Cents US. Oh well, I guess there is a price for 
living in a country without Donald Trump, I’ll take  *smile*.
OK, so I went on the company’s website and it’s listed at $124 Canadian but on 
sale for $104, also it appears with free shipping. I just called Amazon.ca 
customer service and was surprised that they don’t price match. They apparently 
rather get people to return the product which costs them shipping.

Re: USPS App

[Robin Frost]

Hi,
I've used it and it's usable for that which it does though it offers no push 
notifications sadly nor do the other official apps from other carriers. As 
such I spend more package tracking time with other apps. But for basic needs 
it works well enough.

RE: Question on lightning dock

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Ed,

Well, now don’t get dirty on the list and tell SIRI to watch her language 
*smile*.
Having said that, no, I don’t think you will be able to put your phone on a 
“cock”, oops, I meant “dock” with most cases. There are so-called dock extender 
cables which in the case of a Lightning dock, would have a female end on one 
side and a male Lightning connector on the other. You would plug the female end 
over the Lightning dock connector which is male and then plug the other end 
into your phone.
Especially the Otterbox Defender probably wouldn’t fit on a dock as it is big 
and bulky and has that rubber plug to close off the port to access the 
Lightning port.

Sieghard

I have not used the Bluetooth monitors but the wrist units I have tried all

arm monitor or one at the doctor’s office.

 

While I was in rehab following an accident last year, an aide used a wrist 
monitor on me and read more than 100 points high.  He was going to write it in 
the log until I complained.  We settled on a reading that was only 40 points 
high and I told the nurse.

Subject: RE: blood pressure and iphone

 

Hi Joe,

 

I just ordered the QardioArm wireless blood pressure monitor which connects to 
your iOS device via Bluetooth and is supposed to work very well. A friend of 
mine in Germany already has one and is very happy with it and the app 
apparently is accessible.

Mine won’t be here for a few more days yet so I can’t give you my opinion until 
I have used it.

It comes in Arctic White, Electric Blue, Imperial Red, Racing Yellow and Gold.

Below is a link to the company’s own website followed by a link to it on 
Amazon.com and, for the Canadians on the list who might be interested, a link 
to it on Amazon.ca.

it seems to be around $77 on Amazon.com, here on Amazon.ca it was $124.00, a 
bit of a rip-off given the fact that the Canadian Dollar has ralleyed quite a 
bit and once again is around 80 Cents US. Oh well, I guess there is a price for 
living in a country without Donald Trump, I’ll take  *smile*.

OK, so I went on the company’s website and it’s listed at $124 Canadian but on 
sale for $104, also it appears with free shipping. I just called Amazon.ca 
customer service and was surprised that they don’t price match. They apparently 
rather get people to return the product which costs them shipping.

Hi

Can anyone recommend a blood pressure cuff that works with an iphone? It would 
be nice if I could track my blood pressure over days and weeks. Does anyone 
track blood pressure? How do you do it and what blood pressure cuff do you use?

Thanks,

Joe Thibault

I put my iPod Touch 6th Generation on my wooden desk with Talking Tuner open.  
I hit the tuning fork on my knee and set it next to the Touch on the desk.  
Talking Tuner said “A is in tune.”

Re: Guitar Tuners & Chords

My experience with Talking Tuner is much better than this description.  
Any way you view it, Talking Tuner is worth the nominal price and is a 
very useful tool.  You can talk your way out of anything if you look 
hard enough for deficiencies.

Agreed, it is good like that.  But I got some, not just one, of the pipe

lost faith and patience with it.

For completeness, I just got the phone and 3 tuners and tested the tuners 
themselves in Talking Tuner.  The results were
occasionally positive about the note being right, but most wavered 20% sharp or 
flat of the actual note.  sometimes it quoted a note
the tuner wasn't even set to.

so, a simple app that just gives a reference note has  significant benefits 
sometimes.

The tuner app in the app store called "talking tuner" is totally
accessible.  You play a note and it names the note and tells what per

Re: Talking Tuner accuracy

[Rich De Steno]

I have found Talking Tuner to be accurate after many months of almost 
daily use.

Adding Favorites on Youtube App

[Joe]

Hi, can anyone walk me through how you go about adding a video to your list
of Favorites on the Youtube app? I still hate it, but since UPlayer doesn't
seem to be working any better for me, I may as well make the adjustment. I
still really miss Apple's old native Youtube app. Anyway, thanks in advance.

RE: Prizmo vs KNFB Reader, was: How Do You Use iOS?

[Richard Turner]

The OPTACON was great, but it, Openbook nor Kurzweil are as portable or have 
any Ios usage.

And, you can’t get rid of the paper document.

I have used both the KNFB Reader and Prismo. I also use Openbook and have used 
Kurzweil 1000. I prefer the Optacon over all of them.

There is no question that the user interface and the speed of getting scans

However, if you have a document that you want to attempt to keep the paragraph 
structure, then Prizmo is better than KNFB Reader.

But, Prizmo is far, far more tedious to use.

I have kept Prizmo on my devices in case of situations where I want the 
paragraphs retained.

Granted that isn't very often.

Hi Tracy,

 

I think it’s pretty safe to say that if you ever used KNFB Reader you would 
never want to use Prizmo again. I am not saying this because the OCR is that 
much better, but the ease of use for a blind person to use and get great 
results with KNFB Reader is unbelievable. I used to use Prizmo as well as well 
as another OCR app which was popular for a while and for which I forgot the 
name, but once KNFB Reader came out they all went the way of double tap and 
hold, then double tap again to delete. KNFB Reader is expensive, but is it ever 
worth it if you do OCR on a regular bases and you can get it for a reasonable 
deal if you pick up some 20% off iTunes gift cards when they are available at 
various resellers throughout the year and then wait until KNFB goes on sale for 
$75 or so. If you then have discount cards you can get it for $60 and it has 
been on sale for less at times, I think as low as $50 at one point in which 
case it would have been $40 with discounted gift cards.

The apps I use most frequently are:

 

Prizmo.  Which it would be interesting to read a comparison between Prizmo & 
KNFB.

CamFind, excellent app to scan just about anything.  Even importing a 
screenshot.

CloudClip.  I absolutely love this app.  I have it on both my iDevices & Mac.  
What I copy to the clipboard is available on each device.  Every so often, it 
is a bit buggy & doesn’t copy over right away, but most of the time it works 
brilliantly.

 

Twitterrific.  This is my go to Twitter app.

TV Remote from xFinity.  I use this app a bit more on my iPad, because the 
episodes are in folders.  Lol, I use it mostly on my phone to turn the channel. 
 ;)

 

My Fitness Pal.  Even if I am not tracking calories, I use this app to identify 
foods & drinks.  Learn the serving size & nutrition.

 

DraftPad.  I’ve had this app for a long time, but still find it useful, if I 
quickly want to compose a text or long post, without accidentally sending it.  
:)  Lol, I’ve even done things, like while at home I write out a check in post 
for Facebook, because I know I’ll want to check in from the restaurant but not 
necessarily type it out or dictate it in public.  

 

This isn’t an app, but it is a way to use IOS.  I have a Safari Icon for the 
website DirectionsForMe.org    This website is very 
handy for obtaining directions/instructions for foods & or drinks.  I have 
another Safari icon for a local radio station’s playlist.  Yet another one for 
a radio station’s weekly stream of it’s Saturday night broadcast.  Love those 
Safari icons.  :)

 

Hopefully the above list is helpful & not 

RE: Warning about turning off iCloud sync in Voice Dream Reader!

[Richard Turner]

Sandy,
You cannot read in the background using VoiceOver, which is what you are trying 
to do by using the two finger flick down.  That is the same as opening an Email 
and doing a two finger flick down in the message.
If you have speak screen turned on, you could try flick down with two fingers 
at the status bar, then you could read in background but I'm doubting you would 
get the page changes, though you might.

Did you go in and restore your purchases in Voice Dream?  I suspect your 
Italian voice will come back if you do.  If it doesn't, then, again, write to 
Winston.  Voices had to be re-downloaded with version 4, but there may be some 
other glitch here.

HTH,

Richard

As for getting the Enhanced Daniel working within Voice Dream, I could not do 
that either.  That is worth a note to Winston.  That may or may not have to do 
with Voice Dream.

hi Richard and all,
I have the latest update of vdr  on my iPhone 6 running 9.3. I have a problem 
and I hope someone can help… I have gone to "manage my voices" I have also gone 
to audio settings when in an open document, but I cannot get my Voices right! 
for general reading, I use UK Daniel, but he is stuck on the compressed voice. 
I have enabled enhanced voice but it just doesn't appear. so, instead of using 
the "play" but I mainly use the two finger flick down to read using Daniels 
iPhone iOS voice. however, with the set up, I cannot lock the screen and 
continue to listen. also, quite a long time ago, I bought Victorio, the Italian 
voice. but when I open a document in Italian, the Italian iOS voice reads 
instead and I cannot find Victoria. can anyone help?
Thanks, Sandy

Re: MacBook Air question.

[Ann Smith]

I got a steal on my MacBook air 11.6 inch from BH photo video. They are out of 
New York.
The computer was I think $759 plus only $229 for the three-year AppleCare plan. 
On top of that, they gave me a free gift called LoJack. Then, I got a zipped 
case for my computer that was only $15.
I was going to get a laptop by Apple from MacBook or I'm sorry by mac Mall, but 
they do not give straight answers when the stuff will come into stock. I 
thought about going to the refurbished section on the Apple App Store 
application, but they charge you upwards of almost $90 just on taxes.
I saved myself around $300, just by shopping from B capital H photo video. The 
people there are very knowledgeable and you can order by phone. If you want 
their information, contact me off list and I'll help you.

Question on lightning dock

[Pinky]

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering how well the Lightning dock works and can you use most
cases with it. I have a 6s+ and was wondering if most cases will work in the
cock. Will the Otterbox case work is one case I am interested in to see if
it will work. Any opinion and suggestions about the apple lightning dock or
other docks would be appreciated.

I would also agree. it can sometimes be rather frustrating to hear about a 
good sounding app, and then find that it is useless for your country.

Interesting, Anne, that you find it more efficient to use the Mac for listening 
to Podcasts. I can't think of anything easier for Podcasts than to set up the 
ones I listen to in an app like the native Podcasts app, Downcast or Overcast 
which gives me the freedom to listen to them anywhere I go with a minimal and 
simple interface. In the case of the native Podcasts app I even have SIRI 
control and I can just tell SIRI which Podcast I want to listen to or, while I 
am listening, whether I want to jump back 38 seconds or jump ahead a minute and 
50 seconds because Rob from Today in iOS is doing one of his length ads about 
Harry's Razors or whatever which I couldn't care less about.

Hello Mark,

I use Messages, Weather, Calendar, and FaceTime.
For reading ebooks, my favourite app is Kobo as it reads straight through a 
chapter then stops. Also, it doesn’t make those page-turning noises that Kindle 
does, and doesn’t hyphenate inappropriately which Kindle does. It also works 
well with my Focus 14 Braille display.
I do use Kindle when I can’t get a book on Kobo, but I rarely, but 
occasionally, use iBooks for ebooks, but mostly for Audible books.
An app I can’t live without is Talking Goggles. I use it to identify cans in my 
kitchen. Many of the products I buy are from small organic French producers and 
are not on the barcode databases, making Digit-Eyes and other barcode scanners 
useless.
For GPS, I use BlindSquare and Navigon.
For sharing notes with my Mac, I use Simple Note for iOS with Notational 
Velocity for OS X. I don’t use iCloud which is why I don’t use the native Notes 
apps for this. When I say I don’t use iCloud, I mean for my personal use. I 
share an iCloud with my husband so that we can sync our calendars.
For OCR, I use KNFBReader, but I still have several other apps just in case.
I used to use Money Reader but it’s no longer useful here in the Euro zone.
I also use the Camera app with variable results since I have no sight at all.
And since I have no light perception, I also use Light Detector to know when to 
put the lights on.
I like BBC News for catching up with news stories, and TweetList for Twitter, 
but I hardly ever tweet.

I prefer to use my Mac for web browsing, Mail, listening to podcasts and word 
processing. I find it much more efficient.

Cheers,

Anne

[Peter Logan]

In my quest to replace my laptop ... I’m trying to find an alternative for 
Quicken that will run on either my IPhone or on an IPad.  I know there are 
several apps that will allow you to enter transactions...  I want something 
with the ability to replace Quicken ... having transactions downloaded, 
reconciled, etc.  I’ve looked at Mint, but that doesn’t have all the 
functionality that I’m looking for.

Does anyone know of something that will work like Quicken for the IPad?

RE: How Do You Use iOS?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Keep in mind the country you live in and mention this for location specific 
apps such as store/shopping apps. If you are in the UK you may be a huge fan of 
some super market app which is totally accessible, but unless you specify that 
this is for a super market in the UK others may look for it in the US or  
Australia where of course they won't find it.
The same goes for apps which require hardware. I could rave about Sonos all day 
long, but if I don't mention that you need Sonos hardware for this app to be of 
any use people who don't know it may misunderstand what it is all about.

Regards,
Sieghard

I just want to thank you all for contributing to this thread.  

Honestly, I cannot stop smiling when I read your lists of apps and discover all 
of the various ways you use them.

To those who have not yet posted, please remember that you do not need to list 
only apps that have not yet been mentioned; just list the apps that you use and 
how you use them if they are not self-explanatory.  

Personally, I am making a list of all of the marvelous apps you have brought to 
my attention that I have not yet explored.

Nice list, Mark, here are a few more I use although some of them require 
hardware:

Sonos - requires Sonos music players, I think it's been discussed here enough 
so I don't have to go into more details as to what exactly the Sonos system 
does, if somebody doesn't know and wants to know go to www.sonos.com and check 
the list archives for "Sonos" related posts.

Netatmo: requires the Netatmo weather station

Thermostat: requires the Wi-Fi capable thermostat from www.RadioThermostat.com

Nuheat: requires in-floor electric heating mats from Nuheat (the kind that are 
installed underneath tile floors. The app allows me to control the thermostats 
connected to each mat/room that has it, in my case two bathrooms and my kitchen.

Nest: I use it not for thermostat, but I purchased 5 Dropcam Pro a couple of 
years ago for security cameras for my retail store. Dropcam was then purchased 
by Nest and the Dropcam app was replaced with the Nest app. Of course the video 
feed is useless to me directly, but the cameras also transmit audio and you can 
press a button in the app and speak through the camera.

CBC News for Canadian news and Weather Office for Canadian weather

Google: That is the Google search app which also has those Google Now cards.

Transit: Gives youtransit information for many cities

Parcel: for parcel tracking

Whats App: one of the social media apps I use in addition to Skype, fAcebook 
and Messenger

Roboform: Mark mentioned another password manager, I have been a Roboform user 
for many years and for $20 a year I get the Roboform Everywhere service which 
means my passcards and SafeNotes are available on any of my 5 work and home 
PC's and my iPhone.

Mark mentioned OneDrive which I use more now that I have both an Office 365 
business and home subscription with 1 Tb of storage. But I also use Dropbox.

Compass: the native compass app which is sometimes handy when I need to know 
direction and of course it also has the built-in level.

Scotia Bank: the app of my Canadian financial institution

Paprika: a recipe app, but it's not an app that actually contains recipes, it's 
an app which allows you to search for recipes and you can then add them to 
Paprika with just a couple of taps and all the information is nicely displayed 
with tabs for ingredients and directions, you can have multiple timers, make a 
shopping list out of the ingredients for a recipe etc. My wife also has it on 
her iPhone and we use the same log-in for Paprika so if she adds a recipe it's 
automatically in my list as well.

Speedtest: for checking cellular and/or Wi-Fi connection spped

Authy: an app that generates one-time passcodes for accounts where I have 
enabled 2-step verification

For recognition and related: Light Detector (Mark doesn't need it because he's 
got more vision than a hundred others of us on this list *smile* Talking 
Goggles, Camfind and Tap Tap See

Apple Store app: for browsing and buying products from Apple, making genious 
bar appointments etc.
Shopper's Drug Mart: Canadian drug mart chain which let's me use coupons, 
specials, display my Shopper's Optimum card to be scanned etc.

Walk Log: tracks distance walked and more

I'll stop here, there are more, but some are quite specific since a couple of 
my suppliers have apps and that wouldn't apply to 

Re: Guitar Tuners & Chords

['RobH.' via VIPhone]

Agreed, it is good like that.  But I got some, not just one, of the pipe 
tuners.  Tuned instrument to one or other of them.  Tried 
it then against talking Tuner, and found it a fairly consistent 20% wrong!  I 
lost faith and patience with it.

For completeness, I just got the phone and 3 tuners and tested the tuners 
themselves in Talking Tuner.  The results were 
occasionally positive about the note being right, but most wavered 20% sharp or 
flat of the actual note.  sometimes it quoted a note 
the tuner wasn't even set to.

so, a simple app that just gives a reference note has  significant benefits 
sometimes.

BobH.

Ps:  Guitar and other stringi nstrument players,  only need one tuned string, 
in order to tune the rest to it.

The tuner app in the app store called "talking tuner" is totally
accessible.  You play a note and it names the note and tells what per
cent it is sharp or flat.

[MamaPeach]

Dice World is awesome. If you need any help, please be sure and check out the 
help and tutorials button in the app. I am a blind tester for the game and if 
you ever find anything that the developer should be aware of, please contact 
him, he is very eager to help in any way that he can. You can find his contact 
information also in the help and tutorials section in the app.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Sharonda Greenlaw]

I have absolutely loved reading this thread! I have learned so much and look 
forward to reading more! 
I will do my best to add to this thread:
1 Spotify. I totally enjoy creating playlists and have created many of them. 
Although Apple music is here, I had already created so many playlists, that I 
couldn't bear leaving Spotify. Yes, I have the Premium.
2 DiceWorld. My username is Sharonda3570 and I'm a daily player.
3 mBraille. I love the features of this app especially the copy/paste and the 
echo that occurs when you writ" in Grade II braille.
4 Blindfold Wildcard. This is their Uno game and I'm an uno fanatic. 
5 Chase 1Ank App. They have been quite accessible. 
6 YouVersion and BibleGateway and Strongs Concordance—uses the King James 
Version
7 Postmates and Eat24 are both food delivery apps here in Arizona
8 I use both Lyft and Uber apps
9 55K Quotes—an app that autodelivers daily inspirational quotes which you are 
supposed to be able to post to Twitter or Facebook, but I'm still working to 
learn how.
I may add more later, but here's what I have for now.

Re: Guitar Tuners & Chords

[Rich De Steno]

The tuner app in the app store called "talking tuner" is totally 
accessible.  You play a note and it names the note and tells what per 
cent it is sharp or flat.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[goshawk on horseback]

I use a fair number already mentioned here, plus,
super market apps, such as tesco, sainsburys, ocado, asda, and morrisons. 
all of the above, for doing online super market shopping to be delivered.

ebay,

paypal,

various games, including a lot of the choice of games titles, king of dragon 
pass, turf wars, and many others, these are great for long train journeys, 
especially if one is feeling a bit tired, as they keep the brain more 
active, so one is less likely to fall asleep and miss one's station.
(I would recommend also running something like uListen, awareness, or speech 
amp, which will then also let you listen to what is going on around you such 
as station announcements, whilst you have your headphones on for your game).

trainline. for booking train tickets.

one click cab. for finding/calling taxis all over the UK.

in a pub, pub & bar finder, find me boozer. all of these are for finding 
local pubs all over the UK.

track my hack. this tracks my rout and speed, when I am horse riding.

hungry house, or just eat. for finding/ordering takeaways.

tide times. a useful one for those who like there sea swimming, and need to 
know local tide times.

music id, sound hound, music DNA id. these are good if you hear a good track 
on the radio and want to find out what it is to buy or download it, 
especially if the presenter has a habit of not mentioning what track is 
coming up, or just been played.

meet up. this one has really helped me improve my social life. it finds 
various groups in your area, that do all sorts of things, from the purely 
social, to the active.

various tv apps, such as bbc iPlayer, ITV hub, 4OD, demand 5, racing UK, and 
H play, (which is for the tv channel horse and country).

wild swimming britain, beach live, beach world, beach selecta, free swim. 
all of these to find good places for open water swimming.

Honestly, I cannot stop smiling when I read your lists of apps and discover 
all of the various ways you use them.

To those who have not yet posted, please remember that you do not need to 
list only apps that have not yet been mentioned; just list the apps that you

Personally, I am making a list of all of the marvelous apps you have brought

Nice list, Mark, here are a few more I use although some of them require 
hardware:

Sonos - requires Sonos music players, I think it's been discussed here 
enough so I don't have to go into more details as to what exactly the Sonos 
system does, if somebody doesn't know and wants to know go to www.sonos.com 
and check the list archives for "Sonos" related posts.

Netatmo: requires the Netatmo weather station

Thermostat: requires the Wi-Fi capable thermostat from 
www.RadioThermostat.com

Nuheat: requires in-floor electric heating mats from Nuheat (the kind that 
are installed underneath tile floors. The app allows me to control the 
thermostats connected to each mat/room that has it, in my case two bathrooms 
and my kitchen.

Nest: I use it not for thermostat, but I purchased 5 Dropcam Pro a couple of 
years ago for security cameras for my retail store. Dropcam was then 
purchased by Nest and the Dropcam app was replaced with the Nest app. Of 
course the video feed is useless to me directly, but the cameras also 
transmit audio and you can press a button in the app and speak through the 
camera.

CBC News for Canadian news and Weather Office for Canadian weather

Google: That is the Google search app which also has those Google Now cards.

Transit: Gives youtransit information for many cities

Parcel: for parcel tracking

Whats App: one of the social media apps I use in addition to Skype, fAcebook 
and Messenger

Roboform: Mark mentioned another password manager, I have been a Roboform 
user for many years and for $20 a year I get the Roboform Everywhere service 
which means my passcards and SafeNotes are available on any of my 5 work and 
home PC's and my iPhone.

Mark mentioned OneDrive which I use more now that I have both an Office 365 
business and home subscription with 1 Tb of storage. But I also use Dropbox.

Compass: the native compass app which is sometimes handy when I need to know 
direction and of course it also has the built-in level.

Scotia Bank: the app of my Canadian financial institution

Paprika: a recipe app, but it's not an app that actually contains 

Re: How Do You Use iOS?

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Mark,

I use Messages, Weather, Calendar, and FaceTime.
For reading ebooks, my favourite app is Kobo as it reads straight through a 
chapter then stops. Also, it doesn’t make those page-turning noises that Kindle 
does, and doesn’t hyphenate inappropriately which Kindle does. It also works 
well with my Focus 14 Braille display.
I do use Kindle when I can’t get a book on Kobo, but I rarely, but 
occasionally, use iBooks for ebooks, but mostly for Audible books.
An app I can’t live without is Talking Goggles. I use it to identify cans in my 
kitchen. Many of the products I buy are from small organic French producers and 
are not on the barcode databases, making Digit-Eyes and other barcode scanners 
useless.
For GPS, I use BlindSquare and Navigon.
For sharing notes with my Mac, I use Simple Note for iOS with Notational 
Velocity for OS X. I don’t use iCloud which is why I don’t use the native Notes 
apps for this. When I say I don’t use iCloud, I mean for my personal use. I 
share an iCloud with my husband so that we can sync our calendars.
For OCR, I use KNFBReader, but I still have several other apps just in case.
I used to use Money Reader but it’s no longer useful here in the Euro zone.
I also use the Camera app with variable results since I have no sight at all.
And since I have no light perception, I also use Light Detector to know when to 
put the lights on.
I like BBC News for catching up with news stories, and TweetList for Twitter, 
but I hardly ever tweet.

I prefer to use my Mac for web browsing, Mail, listening to podcasts and word 
processing. I find it much more efficient.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Weather Radio Question

[Robin Frost]

Hi,
Oh no worries  I was just referring back to the original post I didn't catch 
that they were having the problem with other apps other than weather radio. 
I don't think it was wrong just maybe applied to something else. so I'm sure 
it could help someone. I remember first encountering that long ago in my 
iDevice using life, with the messages app and it nearly drove me mad until I 
figured it out as your solution was the perfect fix for that one.

So you see nothing ever is wasted on a platform such as this.
I'm sorry it I implied that it wasn't necessary to know at all and no matter 
which turned out to be the fix I do hope the original poster gets it all 
sorted in short order.

Here's to efficient and happy iDevice using (smiles).
Robin

Hi Mark,
Well, OK, here we go.
IMessage, self explaining.  FaceTimeime, again, self explaining.  
I also have hangouts installed, which is pretty handy, if someone 
just wants to get ahold of me.
Have games such as dice world, although I must admit, I'm not the 
most heaviest app user.  Have things like messinger, faceBook, 
tune in radio, twitter, but they are not uand that often.

Re: Weather Radio Question

[Robin Frost]

Hi,
I could be wrong but I don't think he means that it's repeating a 
notification twice rather that it's giving him simultaneous alerts at the 
same time for the same place. That was my understanding of that which was 
posted which is why I went with the theory that perhaps their current locale 
was being referenced by the app as both current and saved location.

I hope this helps.
Robin

RE: How Do You Use iOS?

[M. Taylor]

I just want to thank you all for contributing to this thread.  

Honestly, I cannot stop smiling when I read your lists of apps and discover all 
of the various ways you use them.

To those who have not yet posted, please remember that you do not need to list 
only apps that have not yet been mentioned; just list the apps that you use and 
how you use them if they are not self-explanatory.  

Personally, I am making a list of all of the marvelous apps you have brought to 
my attention that I have not yet explored.

>From the bottom of my heart, I thank you and, let’s keep ‘em coming.  (Big, 
>Big, Smile).

Subject: RE: How Do You Use iOS?

Nice list, Mark, here are a few more I use although some of them require 
hardware:

Sonos - requires Sonos music players, I think it's been discussed here enough 
so I don't have to go into more details as to what exactly the Sonos system 
does, if somebody doesn't know and wants to know go to www.sonos.com and check 
the list archives for "Sonos" related posts.

Netatmo: requires the Netatmo weather station

Thermostat: requires the Wi-Fi capable thermostat from www.RadioThermostat.com

Nuheat: requires in-floor electric heating mats from Nuheat (the kind that are 
installed underneath tile floors. The app allows me to control the thermostats 
connected to each mat/room that has it, in my case two bathrooms and my kitchen.

Nest: I use it not for thermostat, but I purchased 5 Dropcam Pro a couple of 
years ago for security cameras for my retail store. Dropcam was then purchased 
by Nest and the Dropcam app was replaced with the Nest app. Of course the video 
feed is useless to me directly, but the cameras also transmit audio and you can 
press a button in the app and speak through the camera.

CBC News for Canadian news and Weather Office for Canadian weather

Google: That is the Google search app which also has those Google Now cards.

Transit: Gives youtransit information for many cities

Parcel: for parcel tracking

Whats App: one of the social media apps I use in addition to Skype, fAcebook 
and Messenger

Roboform: Mark mentioned another password manager, I have been a Roboform user 
for many years and for $20 a year I get the Roboform Everywhere service which 
means my passcards and SafeNotes are available on any of my 5 work and home 
PC's and my iPhone.

Mark mentioned OneDrive which I use more now that I have both an Office 365 
business and home subscription with 1 Tb of storage. But I also use Dropbox.

Compass: the native compass app which is sometimes handy when I need to know 
direction and of course it also has the built-in level.

Scotia Bank: the app of my Canadian financial institution

Paprika: a recipe app, but it's not an app that actually contains recipes, it's 
an app which allows you to search for recipes and you can then add them to 
Paprika with just a couple of taps and all the information is nicely displayed 
with tabs for ingredients and directions, you can have multiple timers, make a 
shopping list out of the ingredients for a recipe etc. My wife also has it on 
her iPhone and we use the same log-in for Paprika so if she adds a recipe it's 
automatically in my list as well.

Speedtest: for checking cellular and/or Wi-Fi connection spped

Authy: an app that generates one-time passcodes for accounts where I have 
enabled 2-step verification

For recognition and related: Light Detector (Mark doesn't need it because he's 
got more vision than a hundred others of us on this list *smile* Talking 
Goggles, Camfind and Tap Tap See

Apple Store app: for browsing and buying products from Apple, making genious 
bar appointments etc.
Shopper's Drug Mart: Canadian drug mart chain which let's me use coupons, 
specials, display my Shopper's Optimum card to be scanned etc.

Walk Log: tracks distance walked and more

I'll stop here, there are more, but some are quite specific since a couple of 
my suppliers have apps and that wouldn't apply to anybody else.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hello Everyone,

I am cross-posting this to both the V iPhone and the Mac Visionaries Mailing
List:

I was having lunch with a friend today at a sunny outdoor café and, during our 
conversation, the subject of iOS and the number of apps we use on a regular 
basis came up.  As we began listing our favorite apps, I once again realized 
how much iPhone and it’s related apps have revolutionized my life in almost 
every aspect.  

Below I will list the apps I used today and/or within the last two days.  In 
some cases I will list the name of the app, in others, I will only list the
