RE: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Alan Lemly]

Hi Mary,

 

Thanks so much for the details about the Bluetooth Instant Pot model. 
Unfortunately, this model appears to no longer be available at least not from 
Amazon in new condition. They have the Instant Pot Smart Bluetooth model in 
standard 6 quart size but only have 3 used ones available and the two used, 
like new ones were priced at $329. That seems exorbitant to me and since I'm 
considering this as a gift, I wouldn't buy a used model anyway.

 

If someone knows of another Instant Pot model with Bluetooth that's still 
obtainable, I'd love to know its specific name. I prefer buying on Amazon as 
opposed to eBay but I suspect I'm going to have to come up with another gift 
idea.

 

Thanks for the help from others who posted about the apps that work with 
controlling the Bluetooth model versus those that are mainly recipes.

 

Alan Lemly

Hi Alan,
If you want to use the app, which is fully accessible, you would need to get 
the instant pot model that includes Bluetooth. That unfortunately makes it a 
good deal more expensive. The instant pot does have  very tactile buttons on 
the front. So if you didn’t want to spend the money, you could make yourself a 
braille chart of what the buttons do. That having been said, I do have the 
Bluetooth model and I’m glad. One of the things that you can do is adjust the 
cooking duration. That is easy with the Bluetooth model. If you just have the 
one with the buttons were nothing talks you would have to remember the various 
amounts of time that you’re starting with depending on what operation you want 
to do, and then I assume hit a plus or minus button to advance or decrease the 
amount of time.

You can monitor the temperature with the app. You can monitor the time 
remaining under pressure. You can set the duration as I noted. Of course, you 
can also tell it to do various things like soup, rice, manual, there are a 
whole bunch of them. I’m honestly not sure how much difference all those things 
make, except there are times that are preset of course, but they can be changed 
by you. You can also slow cook or make yogurt, none of which I have done. You 
do have to pair the device, which means before you can do anything with the 
app, you have to hit a certain button on the pot to start the process. And I 
honestly don’t remember which one that is. There is a section for recipes. I 
never use it. On the bottom there are tabs, and I always go to the one that 
says dashboard. That is where you can decide what sort of cooking you want and 
set the various parameters accessibly. You can do a lot with these things, and 
I’m sure I have not made as much use of mind for different things as many 
people on the huge Insta pot facebook group have done.

RE: A question about why my phone goes to speaker phone during A call

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Make sure your screen is clean and that you don't have a case which might 
overlap the phone to the point where it might confuse the proximity sensor 
which is at the top of the phone.
My 6S Plus seems to have gotten a bit worse with this as well, often when I 
call somebody even if I am holding the phone up to my ear and it's ringing in 
the earpiece as soon as the other person picks up it switches to speakerphone. 
If I let it ring on speakerphone then when the other side picks up it usually 
goes to the earpiece. It's almost like it's switching regardless of whether you 
have it up to your ear or not. I have also observed that sometimes when I am on 
a call as soon as the phone locks it switches to speakerphone and even moving 
the phone away from my ear and back makes no difference unless I first unlock 
the phone. If I know I am going to make a longer call I just use the Earpods. 
There really isn't much you can do except for what I said above and of course 
you can write to accessibil...@apple.com and complain about it.


Regards,
Sieghard

RE: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I posted last November that there is a new InstantPot (relatively new) which 
has a dial and it certainly is not accessible for bvlind people. I think it’s 
very user friendly for a sighted person and I gave it to the manager at my 
retail store and his wife as a wedding gift.
At that time I called InstantPot and asked about the “smart” bluetooth model 
and the guy I spoke with advised me not to buy it since a new bluetooth 
InstantPot was supposed to come out in the first quarter of 2018. We are a few 
weeks past the end of the first quarter and I have not seen it yet (just looked 
the other day). I was planning to call them again, once I do I’ll post a 
message and report what I was told.
Maybe they ran into an issue which delayed production, I mean if Tesla can’t 
manage to make enough of the Model 3 and Elon Musk himself is sleeping at the 
factory micro-managing everything one can probably forgive InstantPot if they 
are a bit late *smile*.

Re: Transitioning to Overcast from Downcast

[Flor Lynch]

Voice Boost sounds like something that might be of interest to me. What are 
its effects, or where would they be most noticeable? Does the playback speed 
set faster, compromise it in any way?

Subject: Re: Transitioning to Overcast from Downcast


Downcast was my primary podcast player for several years, and I tried 
Overcast a little over a year ago and now use it as my primary podcast 
player.
From what I remember, Downcast only had one feature that Overcast does not, 
and that is the capability of actually saving your podcast files.
Now Overcast also has a couple of features that Downcast does not, and that 
is the smart speed and voice boost features, which are both very good 
features.  I know this is only my opinion, but I think Overcast has the best 
playback when it comes to playing faster then the normal speed.


Now I would encourage you, if you have not already, check out the settings 
screen.  2 important settings there is whether you want to stream or 
download the episodes, and what you want to do once you listen to an 
episode.  I personally download my episodes so I can listen to them no 
matter whether I have an internet connection or not, and I choose to 
manually delete an episode.  That way if I want to keep it afterwards I can. 
Now I will tell you that if I keep an episode after I listen to it, it does 
still show up under unplayed episodes.


The smart speed and voice boost settings can be found on the playback 
screen.


You will also find that Overcast is updated more frequently then downcast.
But at the end of the day, they are both good players, and it is a personal 
preference of

which you choose to use.

more comfortable.

whole bunch of them. I’m honestly not sure how much difference all those things 
make, except there are times that are preset of course, but they can be changed 
by you. You can also slow cook or make yogurt, none of which I have done. You 
do have to pair the device, which means before you can do anything with the 
app, you have to hit a certain button on the pot to start the process. And I 
honestly don’t remember which one that is. There is a section for recipes. I 
never use it. On the bottom there are tabs, and I always go to the one that

I’m sure I have not made as much use of mind for different things as many

Hi List,

 

I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the Instant Pot 
and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I read the Instant Pot app 
description and it seems to talk more about recipes as opposed to controlling 
the device with the app. Can anyone who uses an Instant Pot give me some 
direction on what the app allows you to do and whether it's accessible? Is 
there a particular Instant Pot model that I need to get to obtain app control 
over it?

 

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Mary Otten]

Thanks for the tip on that book by Melissa Clark, Penny. I don’t believe I have 
that one. I have certainly got enough other ones. Sigh. I guess I’m not very 
adventurous. I have tried rice several times, and never ever comes out well. 
But this is not a cooking list, so I will not go on and on. Nice to see you 
here.

Scheduling to record with Tune In

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello all,

I am trying to use the tune in app to record a radio show just in case I am not 
available to listen to it.
I must be doing something wrong, because it has not recorded for the last 
couple of days.

This is what I did:

Added the station to my favorites.
On the station page, double tapped edit alarm.
Set up an alarm to record.  I made sure that I enabled the alarm, enabled to 
record, put the days and times I wanted it to record.

Now, I am able to go to any station page, double tap the record button at the 
bottom, and it will record what is currently playing.  But for some reason it 
will not record by setting a day and time.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

iCloud and Windows 10

[Elizabeth S Bowden]

Hello All, 
I have been in contact with the Apple accessibility people about this
problem.  I was told that I would need to use icloud v5.1.  According to the
information apple has, version 5.1 is the only version that will work with
Office 2016 or 365.  All other versions have accessibility problems.  Does
anyone know where I can get v5.1?  The link the representative sent me was a
link for the current version, not the version I needed.  I guess Apple won't
be very happy when someone reviews the survey I sent.  
 
Thanks

Thanks, Penny. I did get a couple pressure-cooker books from Bookshare 
when I first got the pot, but I don't remember that specific one. Will 
download it forthwith.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Steve Matzura]

Thanks, Mary. I do use the old one without Bluetooth without difficulty. 
You're right, though, it requires knowing what buttons you're pushing 
before you start in to pushing them. LOL. That's not really a problem, 
although because I don't use it every day or even every week, I have to 
relearn it every time. While that's not a problem hfor me, yes, the 
accessible remote control of the appliance would be nice. If I ever 
needed a new one, I think I'd go for the one with Bluetooth capability .

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Penny Reeder]

Hi, I have been using the Instant Pot for about a year. I think I use
it at least once a week, and I really enjoy using it. I can't imagine
not having the blue tooth connectivity. Not only does it make setting
all of the seetings -- including function, time, level, etc. --
possible, but the IOS connectivity lets you keep track of what the
Instant Pot is doing. I definitely recommend paying the extra money
for the blue tooth connectivity and access to the IOS app.

As for new features, I read that the new model allows for higher
pressure -- high enough to allow people use it for canning fruits and
vegetables.

HTH,
Penny

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Mary Otten]

Hi Les,
You know, I heard the same thing about a new pot that was coming out. I heard 
they came out with something, and then there was a recall. I also know there 
was one that came out that was not good for us, and I’m not sure if that was 
the one that was recalled. So in short, I don’t know. I had also heard that 
stock of the older models was running short, but I did not hear that 
specifically about the Bluetooth model. Frankly, were I sighted, I don’t know 
that I would’ve paid the extra for the Bluetooth. But I would not be without 
it, since memorizing all that stuff at this point in my life is frankly beyond 
my pay grade. Smile. 
And thank you for your good wishes about my treatment. I guess it was 
successful, so far, except I am left with really bad neuropathy in my feet, 
which means I can’t use my guy dog and have lost all independent mobility 
outside of the house. That is difficult to take.
Mary

was worthwhile. With all you mentioned, I can't possibly imagine how my

Hi Mary,

First of all, and most importantly, I hope you are doing well. I hope the 
treatment you had to go through went well for you. Regarding the instant pot, I 
had a question. I thought I read that that was going to be a new model coming 
out this year which was going to have some added benefit for us. But I don’t 
recall if that ever hit the market. Do you know anything about this? Thank you.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Mary Otten]

Hi Alan,
If you want to use the app, which is fully accessible, you would need to get 
the instant pot model that includes Bluetooth. That unfortunately makes it a 
good deal more expensive. The instant pot does have  very tactile buttons on 
the front. So if you didn’t want to spend the money, you could make yourself a 
braille chart of what the buttons do. That having been said, I do have the 
Bluetooth model and I’m glad. One of the things that you can do is adjust the 
cooking duration. That is easy with the Bluetooth model. If you just have the 
one with the buttons were nothing talks you would have to remember the various 
amounts of time that you’re starting with depending on what operation you want 
to do, and then I assume hit a plus or minus button to advance or decrease the 
amount of time.
You can monitor the temperature with the app. You can monitor the time 
remaining under pressure. You can set the duration as I noted. Of course, you 
can also tell it to do various things like soup, rice, manual, there are a 
whole bunch of them. I’m honestly not sure how much difference all those things 
make, except there are times that are preset of course, but they can be changed 
by you. You can also slow cook or make yogurt, none of which I have done. You 
do have to pair the device, which means before you can do anything with the 
app, you have to hit a certain button on the pot to start the process. And I 
honestly don’t remember which one that is. There is a section for recipes. I 
never use it. On the bottom there are tabs, and I always go to the one that 
says dashboard. That is where you can decide what sort of cooking you want and 
set the various parameters accessibly. You can do a lot with these things, and 
I’m sure I have not made as much use of mind for different things as many 
people on the huge Insta pot facebook group have done.

Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Alan Lemly]

Hi List,

 

I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the Instant Pot
and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I read the Instant Pot
app description and it seems to talk more about recipes as opposed to
controlling the device with the app. Can anyone who uses an Instant Pot give
me some direction on what the app allows you to do and whether it's
accessible? Is there a particular Instant Pot model that I need to get to
obtain app control over it?

 

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Re: The walmart grocery app

[Mama Peach]

One app, the Walmart Grocery app,  is for curb side service and the other, 
Walmart app, is for shopping and having it to delivered to your house via 
UPS/FED EX/USPS. You can also choose to pick up your items at the store, but 
that isn't curb side service, you have to go to a counter with the correct 
ID and order information in order to pick up your items.

I kind of wonder the same thing as to why there are two apps.
But, there are indeed two, and I'll give the link for each,
followed by its description, at the end of this message.

I use the Walmart app often, and mostly find it easier than the
web page.  However, when I got a Walmart gift card for Christmas,
and thus was looking to use that first and then pay the rest with
my debit card on file, I had to go to the web site to complete
the order.  For, I just couldn't get the two payment methods to
work in the app.

As for the grocery app, I installed it, but couldn't do much with
it yet since the things it offers aren't currently available in
my area.  Anyway, here are the links and descriptions for each

Re: How can a link be copied in Safari on iPhone?

[Sherrie]

There is another way that I find very useful.  At the middle of the bottom 
(right by the home button) is the share button.  This includes a choice to 
copy. It copies the link and also the Actual name of the page.  It can then 
be pasted elsewhere.


But there are many other great choices in the Share menu.  I like to save 
the text of many articles  so I can add them to my computer files.  .   I 
usually make sure the Reader is activated and it will then save the link and 
the whole article including the links on the page.  I generally choose mail 
and mail it to myself. The Subject and message area is already filled in.  I 
do have an ad blocker on my Safari so the ads don't show.


Just looking through the choices I discovered a choice to send it to my 
Dropbox. It saved it as a pdf.  Other choices include adding it to 
Bookmarks, or Favorites, or to the home screen...
If you don't have the Reader activated (top left corner)  then it just mails 
or messages the link and page name. If the Reader is activated it mails the 
whole article.

As mentioned, you can double tap on the link, then copy the address from

Or, if you stay on that page, you can also do this.

Double tap and hold on the link, a preview button will pop up.  Flick up 
with one finger until you hear preview actions, and if you swipe right, 
you will find a copy button.


Hope this helps.

Subject: RE: Overdrive how to use it?

Hello Lelia,

I am going to paste in an answer that I posted to the list a while ago:

As some in this community may recall, I am a huge fan of Over Drive.  I use it, 
exclusively, to download commercial audio books; from classic fiction such as 
“Gone with the Wind,” to modern non-fiction releases such as Hillary Clinton’s 
recently published, “What Happened.”

Having said this, the answer to your question will depend a great deal on 
whether or not you have any usable vision.

I will confess that Over Drive is one of the few apps on my phone that compels 
me to use my vision in order to access certain areas of an audio book.  This is 
not to say that these areas are not VoiceOver accessible but, accessing them 
requires more explore-by-touch than iOS users have come to expect.

So, while the names of each chapter and section heading are completely 
VoiceOver accessible, accessing this area can be a bit challenging if one is 
totally blind.

Regardless, I will suggest the following navigation strategy, which requires no 
vision, whatsoever, in order to execute:

1.
Place focus on the Play/Pause button, located near the bottom center of the 
display.

2.
Single-finger, swipe from right-to-left, once.  This will place focus on the 
“Skip Back 15 Seconds”, button.

3.
Single-finger, swipe from right-to-left, again, in order to land on the “Audio 
book, Previous Heading”, button.  Each time you activate this button. 
You will be taken back one subsection/chapter, at a time.

Good Luck and Enjoy,

Mark

RE: iOS kindle app and braille display

[M. Taylor]

Hello Holly,

I believe what you are experiencing is somewhat unique to the 20-cell displays. 
 

A list member, I believe her name is Melissa, had the same problem and was able 
to resolve it but I cannot remember her solution as she did not post it 
on-list.  

Perhaps you should download a free iBook title and see how it works with your 
display.  It may also be useful to attempt reading several Kindle titles to see 
if all have this same problem or only one particular title.

The point is that you must narrow down the scenario in which this glitch occurs.

It may also be useful to contact your Braille display manufacturer.  

Have you attempted to use different encoding?  For example, try switching to 
computer Braille or UEB and see what happens.  

Try un-paring, and then re-pairing the display to your iOS device after a iOS 
reboot.

It may be useful to check the general font and display settings on your iOS 
device, outside of the Kindle app, as well.  Some low vision users increase 
font size, turn bold display on, disable the standard screen resolution, etc.  
You must be certain that all of these settings are set to their default 
parameters.

At present, I cannot reproduce your issues, when I have VoiceOver speech muted, 
when using my Focus 40 Blue.

Re: Overdrive how to use it?

[Marie N.]

To tell the truth it has been quite some time since I set it up. But if you 
just keep working on it, you will get it done. You may need to go to the 
library's website to get the pertinent information for set up. And I am 
assuming you have already gotten your library card.

Hello Lelia,

I am going to paste in an answer that I posted to the list a while ago:

As some in this community may recall, I am a huge fan of Over Drive.  I 
use it, exclusively, to download commercial audio books; from classic 
fiction such as “Gone with the Wind,” to modern non-fiction releases such 
as Hillary Clinton’s recently published, “What Happened.”


Having said this, the answer to your question will depend a great deal on 
whether or not you have any usable vision.


I will confess that Over Drive is one of the few apps on my phone that 
compels me to use my vision in order to access certain areas of an audio 
book.  This is not to say that these areas are not VoiceOver accessible 
but, accessing them requires more explore-by-touch than iOS users have 
come to expect.


So, while the names of each chapter and section heading are completely 
VoiceOver accessible, accessing this area can be a bit challenging if one 
is totally blind.


Regardless, I will suggest the following navigation strategy, which 
requires no vision, whatsoever, in order to execute:


1.
Place focus on the Play/Pause button, located near the bottom center of 
the display.


2.
Single-finger, swipe from right-to-left, once.  This will place focus on 
the “Skip Back 15 Seconds”, button.


3.
Single-finger, swipe from right-to-left, again, in order to land on the 
“Audio book, Previous Heading”, button.  Each time you activate this 
button. You will be taken back one subsection/chapter, at a time.


Good Luck and Enjoy,

Mark

If you move those messages from the junk folder to the in box from your

Mark, Just to let you know, after reading several of your posts concerning 
Overdrive app, I decided to give it a try. I am totally blind but am now

I am going to paste in an answer that I posted to the list a while ago:

As some in this community may recall, I am a huge fan of Over Drive.  I use 
it, exclusively, to download commercial audio books; from classic fiction 
such as “Gone with the Wind,” to modern non-fiction releases such as Hillary

I will confess that Over Drive is one of the few apps on my phone that 
compels me to use my vision in order to access certain areas of an audio

accessing them requires more explore-by-touch than iOS users have come to

So, while the names of each chapter and section heading are completely 
VoiceOver accessible, accessing this area can be a bit challenging if one is 
totally blind.


Regardless, I will suggest the following navigation strategy, which requires 
no vision, whatsoever, in order to execute:


1.
Place focus on the Play/Pause button, located near the bottom center of the 
display.


2.
Single-finger, swipe from right-to-left, once.  This will place focus on the 
“Skip Back 15 Seconds”, button.

“Audio book, Previous Heading”, button.  Each time you activate this button. 
You will be taken back one subsection/chapter, at a time.

Re: iOS kindle app and braille display

[Holly Anderson]

Hello mark, I have the speech always muted if I'm reading with a braille 
display. I tried making the font as small as possible, and nothing works. It 
happens when it goes to the next page naturally, or when I turn the page. Its 
very frustrating.

RE: witch phone has the beter audio the iPhone 8 or the 8 plus or the iPhone 10

[Sieghard Weitzel]

At this point doing this is a waste of money. I have the 6S Plus and it's a 
great phone. I'm sure the 8 Plus is also a very nice phone, but given that we 
are almost at the end of April and in just over 4 months the new 2018 iPhones 
come out upgrading now will only be expensive and you may have buyer's remorse 
in September. Unless there is a major issue with your 6S Plus it will serve you 
well for these few months and if your battery is starting to be an issue just 
spend the $29 and set up an appointment at an Apple store to have it replaced, 
you probably get that $29 back if you resell it in the fall and can proof the 
phone had a new battery done by Apple just a few months ago.

RE: witch phone has the better audio the iPhone 8 or the 8 plus or the iPhone 10

[Richard Turner]

I'd suggest you listen to Jonathan Mosen's podcast The BlindSide from the time 
the iPhone X was released.  He does a nice comparison of them.

Personally speaking, I would not pay $1,000 for a phone, especially one without 
a home button.  But, that is just me.  Yes, I use my phone almost more than I 
use my computer, nothing that small is going to have truly decent sound, it is  
rather, better sound for a very small device.  If you want good sound, put the 
money into a good Bluetooth speaker system or headphones.  But, that again is 
just me.

Then again, if you are a visual user of the iPhone, you may want the larger 
screen the iPhone X gives you.

Good luck,
Richard

Re: The walmart grocery app

[Bill Gallik]

Huh, I had no idea there was a “Wal-Mart Grocery App,” why in the world would 
Wal-Mart have two different apps that essentially (I assume) provide similar 
functionality? I don’t doubt you Roger, I’m just quite surprised.

It was a few years ago when I installed the WalMart app on my iOS devices, is 
this “WalMart Grocery” app something relatively new?

Anyhow, my apologies for convoluting the thread.  But, I still find the WalMart 
app very, very accessible and quite convenient to use.  I’ve gone to the web 
page and, while it is true that the site is accessible, I just prefer the 
vanilla WalMart app.

Puzzled, I had to check.  There is a '/single quote either side of the name

real address in <>.

Why my message is flagged as via the group and yours isn't is probably an admin

RE: Help With iCloud For Windows And Outlook

Hello Rob,

I think you answered your own question in the first paragraph of your original 
post.  

You should be using the latest version of the iCloud Control Panel, not the 
previous version.  

I strongly suspect that this is why you do not see the Calendar/Contacts option.

Subject: Help With iCloud For Windows And Outlook

I am setting up a new Windows 10 computer.  I installed iCloud 6.2.2 since the 
first dialog in the most recent version seemed less accessible.

I opened iCloud on the pc and signed in to my Apple ID.  I found check boxes 
for photos, bookmarks, and iCloud drive.  I want to sync my Outlook calendar 
and contacts with my iPhone using iCloud.  All of the articles I have read from 
a Google search say there are check boxes for contacts and calendar, but I 
cannot find them.

I did use iCloud for contacts and calendar in Outlook on my old PC.  I have not 
yet copied the iCloud folder from Outlook on the old PC to the new PC because I 
thought setting up iCloud on the new PC would create the folders in Outlook and 
copy down the contacts and calendar information.

If I copy the iCloud folders to the new PC, would that enable the check boxes 
to appear in the iCloud dialog box?  Do you have information or an article 
containing the steps to move iCloud to a new PC for contacts and calendar?  I 
specifically do not want to sync email using iCloud.

Rob

RE: need some more help with switching voices doing all the steps voice doesn't change,

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I assume you somehow are missing a step. Are you changing the default voice or 
are you adding a second voice? If you are adding Tom as a second voice then 
after you have done so you need to turn the rotor to languages and flick up or 
down to select it. Otherwise maybe give Apple Accessibility a call and see if 
they can walk you through it step by step over the phone.

This is so strange, Michelle, and, Barb, we did everything you both said to do, 
and it's troubling the voice isn't changing. If anyone has any idea what could 
be wrong, and what to do, please let me know. I'm also going to check on apple 
vis, of which I did get the same directions. I just want to see if there's any 
more information on there that might be helpful. Thank you again, Barb, and

Hi,

Once I go to settings. I go to general, double tap on accessibility, then 
double tap on voiceover, double tap on speech, double tap  on voice, than 
double tap download button  next to Tom. Once Tom is downloaded double tap on 
Tom and double tap on top in hats. Then Tom should be speeking. I hope this 
helps you.

We were attempting to change the voice to the tom voice from Samantha. The tom 
voice is selected but it won't change. We were able to do it the other day but 
it was a bit difficult to do. once you choose another voice, and then have 
Samantha has the voice does it some how get more difficult to change voices? Or 
are we missing something? Thanks for the assistance with this as we're still 
pretty new to the iphone.

Re: unwanted emoticons

[Richard Turner]

I went into settings, general, keyboard, and double tapped on where it says 
keyboards 2, or it may have a different number if you have added other 
keyboards, once you are in your list of keyboards, which in my case was English 
and Emoji, I touched the Emoji and flicked up with one finger to delete and 
double tapped.
Then, it cannot be selected when typing.
HTH,
Richard

Re: iOS kindle app and braille display

[Michael Feir]

I've always muted the speech while reading a book in Braille. I never
thought of trying it with speech because it just seemed... well... wrong I
guess. It was one of those decisions I never gave conscious thought to
until just now when you asked..

We had to go to the link for that.  my old browser was chucked off right away.  
None of my kit is quite up2date by any stretch.

All the best with it.  BTW:  ifttt.com was the other suggestion to go to for a

Re: Introducing Alexa Skill Blueprints: Create your own Alexa skills in minutes

['RobH.' via VIPhone]

Hahahahahahaha,  they thought it was me who was mad yesterday when I responded 
to this.

Ok, some mindless Alexa questions you hardly wanted to know beyond whether she 
could answer them.  But I'm trying  extensions to the 
suggestions and getting somewhere, had to fight it this morning though.

She does do a good line in slightly higher maths when testing her on geometry 
and trig,...  sin, Cos, Tan, Log and other bits and 
pieces.  Does a good line in roots too;  cube root being one of the less common 
and most useful.

But I was asking about rivers, Danube, Volga and another got through ok,  but 
Rhine, one of Europe's most important;  got a wide 
varietyof responses before getting enough of the right keywords in the right 
order to get a meaningful answer. A.I isn't always as 
smart as it thinks, and this is what they are going to use to drive cars, and 
everything else no doubt.

Worth sticking with the What's new in alexa email for further tips and tricks. 
Keep them in an email folder or something for back 
reference.

RobH, empathises, believe me.

AmazonWas there anything in this message, apart from a, seemingly, endless list 
of web garbage.  If there was, I couldn't find it, 
and as I am about to fathom the mysteries of Alexa and kin, I would, most 
assuredly, find it of help.
Last night, I opened the "Ask Alexa" app on my iphone, and was presented with a 
long list of questions that she could answer: 
hardly one of which would I ever want to ask!

Puzzled, I had to check.  There is a '/single quote either side of the name 
element.  It seems to be a server thing, a second level 
of packaging where it takes name and via vi-phone in double quotes, followed by 
real address in <>.

Why my message is flagged as via the group and yours isn't is probably an admin 
setting somewhere.
