Re: Question about adding new contact.

I provide some assistance to new users of the IPhone using voiceover and I have found a practice that is very helpful. When you first begin with any app, go to the top of the screen and begin flicking from left to right to move down the page from line to line. when you land on a line, wait a

Looking Back on 20 Years of Assistive Technology: Where We've Been and How Far and Fast We've Come, AccessWorldR, May 2018

Hello All, I thought the following article would be a nice piece to post to the list if for no other reason but that it definitely helps lend perspective as to where we've been, where we are, and where we need to go in terms of accessible tech. Enjoy, Mark Looking Back on 20 Years of Assistive

RE: Question about adding new contact.

Just remember once you have filled out the company name you will have to navigate as opposed to hitting return/enter. If you hit return it will cycle you back up to the first name field. Joe -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of

RE: Honeywell Lyric Renamed to Honeywell Home and Much Improved

Hi, I had been communicating with Honeywell since late March when the previous update made what used to work even harder. So it is nice to find this improved. Now there are buttons to increase and decrease the temperature. I prefer it to the way you previously had to do this as you

RE: Question about adding new contact.

Yes, that does help, just have to hit Enter to get to next field. I am so relieved. This is going to be better than dictating, because I have more control over what is entered. Best regards, Carolyn -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com

My husband and I think you and others on the list have been such great help. I have entered four new contacts. Best regards, Carolyn -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2018 3:11 PM

RE: Question about adding new contact.

Great. Yes, Siri will call people if they are in the first or last name field. I am a bit confused why Apple does not have Siri also call a Company if nothing is in the first or last name fields. I always put companies under last name now. That way, they are in alphabetical order along with

RE: Question about adding new contact.

I'll save this one for the next time. I just added a company, Ambutech, but just put it in the first name field. I came out, went back to Contacts and found it. I have gotten Siri to call time, but not Ambutech. I am just relieved that I am overcoming being buffaloed by the keyboard. So, all

RE: Question about adding new contact.

Good Afternoon I am coming into this thread late. But hopefully this will answer your question and make things clear. First when you click on the add button it will automatically take you to the first name field and Voiceover will say text field first name text field is editing. Once you

Re: Question about adding new contact.

If you are using the keyboard, and say you entered the first name, hit enter, you should then be in the last name. If you pause and listen, VoiceOver should say last name editing, or something like that. If you want Siri to call a place, do not put the name in the company field. It seems that

Question about adding new contact.

I actually added one using the keyboard, but it has a one-word name, Time, our Time and Weather Service here that I use to check, like if my phone is working right, whatever. Here is my question. What do I do to go from field to field to enter information. Then, what do I do to end it and

RE: Disposing of my old iPhone 5S

A 16Gb iPhone 5S with a broken mute switch might fetch you $50 at the most, probably more like $30. The fact you have a broken Lifeproof case and a screen protector which came off makes no difference, I’d throw those in the garbage since you can’t really re-apply a screen protector which came

Re: alarmed app seems to be broken

Hello Paula, I just played with the app. I was able to create a new appointment. I could change the date and time by using the date pickers, but they were set to Action, so I had to turn the rotor left once to Adjust Value in order to change them. If I typed in an appointment title and chose

RE: Honeywell Lyric Renamed to Honeywell Home and Much Improved

Hi Kelly, I also have a Honeywell Lyric T5 thermostat and was a bit worried about this update. When I got the email last week I actually sent a message to them via the website asking whether accessibility in this big update was being considered. I had not received a reply and for me the update

RE: Disposing of my old iPhone 5S

I’ll reply to several of you in one message. Thanks for the suggestion on donation, hadn’t thought of that. The 5S is 16 gb, didn’t realize it at the time I originally bought it. The phone still works for calls and text as well as email and lots of other apps, but was getting full and

Honeywell Lyric Renamed to Honeywell Home and Much Improved

Hi, I use a Honeywell thermostat and related app for heating and cooling control. A couple months ago the app went from usable but tough to almost unusable with all kinds of poorly named controls and more in my opinion. This was version 3.9.1 of the app. Honeywell just released another
