Re: Can you play a mp3 book on Voice Dream Reader?

[Richard Turner]

Try double tap and hold on the link in your email and keep holding until you 
hear the multi-tone sound. Then you should find an "open in" button. Double tap 
on that and VDR should be one of the options if it isn't just an option from 
the beginning.
HTH,
Richard

Re: Bluetooth headsets for multiple devices, was Bone Conduction headsets

[Mohib Anwar Rafay]

Cheryl, which model of sennheiser are you using? I was also wondering
if there is any such Bluetooth headset that could receive audio from
two devices at the same time? At the same time mean, ready to take
audio signals from either device, for instance my android phone and
iPhone are connected to the headset, and I could hear voiceover when
needed and talkback when needed.

Accessible Tai Chi App

[SSEric]

I recently read an article on the benefits of Thai Chi. As I do not have a 
place for instruction near me, I looked for an accessible app. Below is what I 
found. It does have some unlabeled buttons, but I believe you could learn what 
they are. It has both text and oral descriptions of the various movements.

Tai Chi Fundamentals - Full body exercise for strength, fitness, stamina, 
resistance and stress relief, PPL Development Company LLC, three and a half 
stars, (10) user reviews

The basic app with a dozen or so exercises is free. There are in-app purchases, 
but I do not know what extra they provide.

Re: Bluetooth headsets for multiple devices, was Bone Conduction headsets

[Cheryl Lenartiene]

The documentation for my Sennheiser Presence states that when two devices are 
connected at the same time, pressing the up and down volume buttons 
simultaneously switches between devices, so you can control which phone makes 
the call. I don't have two phones to test this though. The documentation also 
states that Phone 2 is always the one that responds to the headset's voice dial 
command, so when you connect two devices, especially if one is not a phone, 
your phone has to be the second paired device.

Yes you can; the process for getting the book into VDR would be First upload 
the book to Dropbox, which you must have on your PC and then on your phone; 
once there, go into VDR and where it says Add, and from there Dropbox; Search 
in your Dropbox on your phone, double-tap on the book which must be zipped in 
order for voiceDream to transfer it into the app, and wait until VoiceDream 
says the book is ready.

Re: A Question Regarding Twitter Hash Tags

Hello,

I am cross posting this.

Can anyone recommend a good VoiceOver accessible iOS app that allows one to
either follow or be notified of updates to a hash tag?  

As it currently stands in the Native iOS Twitter app, while one can search
for hash tag items, it is not possible to save that search or follow the
hash tag.

By following the hash tag, I mean that I would, at best, be notified when
others post using that hash tag or, at worst, be able to save the hash tag
as a search so that I do not need to retype it in, again.  

Now I have Twitterific but, as far as I can tell, it does not allow for hash
tag push notifications.

Can you play a mp3 book on Voice Dream Reader?

[Pinky]

Hi Everyone,

I have a book that is zip in the mp3 format. I have a couple questions.

1.   Can I play mp3 in VDR?

2.   If so how do I get it to VDR? I have the link to the zip vile in my
mail.

 

Thanks for any advice on how to do this.

 

Ed

Re: Bone Conduction Headsets

[Carla Savage]

Hi, 
I use the Aftershokz Trekz Titanium bluetooth headphones. I know that the 
battery states that you only get 6 hours but in practice, you actually get 
more. There is good stereo sound separation and if you experiment with where 
you place the transducers, you can get a good bass response. Just have to get 
used to the vibration on your face though which will feel strange at first. The 
other point to make about these headphones are that they are lighter than the 
previous model and better made and much more jurable. They are also multi-point 
which is great for listening to two devices, in my case, my iPhone and iPod. 
Hope this helps.

RE: Asking again about consumer cellular

[Pinky]

Hi Keith,
That is correct. You just have to have a smart phone that has a sim card in it. 
You call CC up and they will send you out a sim card and you install it in your 
phone and give them a call to authorize it and your done. You can also purchase 
iPhones or other phones from CC but you can just bring your own smart phone and 
you can also keep the same number. Make sure when you call them to get the sim 
card that you tell them the cell number you want to use as it is setup on that 
sim card they send you.

A Question Regarding Twitter Hash Tags

[M. Taylor]

Hello,

I am cross posting this.

Can anyone recommend a good VoiceOver accessible iOS app that allows one to
either follow or be notified of updates to a hash tag?  

As it currently stands in the Native iOS Twitter app, while one can search
for hash tag items, it is not possible to save that search or follow the
hash tag.

By following the hash tag, I mean that I would, at best, be notified when
others post using that hash tag or, at worst, be able to save the hash tag
as a search so that I do not need to retype it in, again.  

Now I have Twitterific but, as far as I can tell, it does not allow for hash
tag push notifications.  

Mark

RE: Bone Conduction Headsets

[Cristóbal]

Since I work from home, I mainly use Google Voice through Skype on my PC for 
incoming and outgoing calls. I also use my business cell in conjunction with my 
Voyager edge. The Edge is pared to both my personal and business cell. I've 
never had to manually switch from one device to another for Bluetooth 
connectivity when having both phones connected. I just turn on the Edge and 
it's done automatically. The thing is though, if one iPhone speaks up, then the 
other one is silent and can't be accessed. One Voiceover cuts off the other.
So, because I feel like being geeky, and am at home anyway, I have my Trekz 
headset connected to my personal phone and disconnect it from the Edge and keep 
the business line connected to the Edge. When I'm away from my PC, I'll wear 
both headsets.
This is where I find the bone conduction aspect to come in quite handy as I'm 
able to interact with both phones at the same time without any interference 
from one Voiceover or alert cutting off the audio from the other device. 
I initially bought the Trekz to give my ears a break at the end of the day 
since I'm on the phone or using headphones in one way or another all day be it 
on an iOS device or with jaws on the PC and by the evening, I'm fried and 
don't' want to have over the ear headphones on for leisurely podcast or 
audiobook listening. The bone conduction set gives my ears a break this way and 
I don't have to have my ears covered while walking around the house and have a 
better orientation and spacial awareness than when having my ears covered up. I 
also use the Trekz when I'm on the stationary bike or treadmill,, etc. I hate 
getting hot and sweaty ears with on or over the ear headphones.
When I'm at the PC, I simply disconnect the Trekz from my personal iPhone so I 
can hear whatever alerts come in like emails or texts or what have you. I just 
keep them on my neck for quick access and so i don't forget where they are 
either and enable Bluetooth as needed.
There have been countless times where I'm away from my computer or am on the 
other side of the house or eating or simply vegging out where I can take a 
business call on my Edge and at the same time, consult my calendar or dictate 
information from a vendor into my personal iPhone via the Trekz without my 
customer being any wiser to the fact that I may be chilling in my shorts on the 
couch munching on some chips watching a movie or ball game.
Perhaps it may seem a little over the top to some, but it's really not 
dissimilar to someone using two monitors at their work station for example.
The actual sound for the bone conduction set is perfectly fine. If you're an 
audiophile, then you may have issues with it, but it's not subpar or even poor 
quality. Music listening isn't a bad experience or anything.
Trekz sound, fit and microphone are definitely an upgrade from the Bluez II. As 
much as I tried using that model, I always ended up with a headache. That and 
they broke on me. I did get a warranty replacement, but sold it to get my money 
back.
The Trekz are probably the best right now you're going to find on the market 
for bone conduction style headsets. There are others listed on Amazon, but they 
all seem more or less the same with so so reviews. I've even seen a Panasonic 
bone conduction set on sale every now and then for something like $25.00, but 
who knows what kind of quality you can expect for that price.
Anyway, there's my long winded answer.

I am not really requiring this feature since I have my iPhone 6S Plus and 
that's it. I have one of my Bluetooth stereo headsets and a speaker paired with 
my Apple TV, but I rarely use it and if I do I just turn Bluetooth off on my 
phone. In fact, mostly Bluetooth on my phone is off unless I do want to use my 
Voyager Edge earpiece or my Outdoor Tech TurtleShell speaker, I prefer to use 
the Apple Earpods unless I really want no cable.
I yet have to find a Bluetooth headset or earpiece I like as much as the 
Earpods.

My experience with Consumer Cellular has been very good.

This was over 2 years ago.

Bluetooth headsets for multiple devices, was Bone Conduction headsets

[Richard Turner]

I've started a new thread since the one on bone conduction headsets was
hijacked.

 

Most all Bluetooth headsets can be used with multiple devices, you just have
to turn off Bluetooth on the devices not accessing the headset.

With iDevices, that is as easy as bring up the control center and toggling
Bluetooth off.

If you do not know how to bring up the control center, just touch in the
status bar on the clock or number of cell bars,, whatever, and flick up with
three fingers.

 

I've not heard of a Bluetooth headset that has a switch to change devices.

 

Richard

RE: Bone Conduction Headsets

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I am not really requiring this feature since I have my iPhone 6S Plus and 
that's it. I have one of my Bluetooth stereo headsets and a speaker paired with 
my Apple TV, but I rarely use it and if I do I just turn Bluetooth off on my 
phone. In fact, mostly Bluetooth on my phone is off unless I do want to use my 
Voyager Edge earpiece or my Outdoor Tech TurtleShell speaker, I prefer to use 
the Apple Earpods unless I really want no cable.
I yet have to find a Bluetooth headset or earpiece I like as much as the 
Earpods.


Regards,
Sieghard

RE: Updating debi card in Apple Pay

[Sieghard Weitzel]

That may be a question for Apple or your bank, but since it’s really easy to 
add new cards I would just delete the old card and add it again. I just looked 
and I didn’t see an edit button anywhere which makes sense I guess since once 
the card is entered that information is not kept on the phone. However, there 
is a Remove button at the bottom right if you tap on the card and then select 
“More Info”.
