RE: Bluetooth headphones

2019-11-12 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
There are, however, Bluetooth dongles which you can plug into 3.5mm headphone 
out port on a TV. I am just mentioning this although I wouldn’t recommend them, 
I have tried all sorts of these including relatively expensive ones and they 
never work as well as I would like them to work.
I am always surprised at the implementation of /Bluetooth even on new and 
powerful laptops which have Bluetooth 5.0. It never seems as good as using 
/Bluetooth on an iPhone.
I have Bluetooth speakers which work perfectly and with hardly ever a single 
drop out on my iPhone, but if I connect them to my PC it’s choppy and just not 
good.

You can have two things to switch between.
A bluetooth paired item, like a cell phone.
Then something with a usb port that can route the audio through the USB dongle, 
normally a computer.
I've not heard of TV'S with a USB audio out port, or bluetooth for that matter.
There is a three position switch on the back of the right ear.
Off, Bluetooth, and RF usb which communicates through the little dongle.

Carolyn,
They come with a very small USB dongle that transmit the audio to the 
headphones over a specific Radio Frequency; at least I believe that is what RF 
stands for.
So, you could pair them via Bluetooth with the computer instead of the phone, 
but they are designed to pair with the phone via Bluetooth and the computer via 
the USB dongle.
In the box, the little USB dongle was tightly in the middle of the plastic that 
the headphones sit in, inside the box.
But, there is a cover on the left earpiece that you can turn about an eighth of 
a turn and remove, and there is a spot in there to store the USB dongle when 
not in use.
The cover has a dot on it that is tactile, and one on the rim of the opening 
that is also tactile.  If you line them up, the cover can come off, or you line 
them up when putting it back on and then turn it clockwise about an eighth of a 
turn or less and it locks into place.
I like them very much and seem to be getting at least 5 or 6 hours out of a 
charge in the first couple of days.

Walmart does carry them, but they charge $72, while Amazon and Best Buy are 
60.99 and 61.99 respectively.
Here is the Walmart link:

I think Mr. Ed said Ebay was even less.
I bought mine at Best buy because there is a store close by.

Hello Todd,

We purchased this microwave last December2018 and love it. It comes with 
Braille embossed on the touch panel and no turn-table. It is a dream to clean. 
Got it on Amazon. It has gone up in price about $20. It has Braille for 
restaurant use by customers, maybe like a convenience store. Instead of a 
turn-table, the microwave tube rotates under the bottom of the machine. It 
cooks more evenly.

You don't have to be a member to order from Amazon. A Amazon Prime membership 
simply gives you a bit faster shipping and sometimes a lower minimum to get

from them and you would most likely have it 2 days later or 3 at the most.

You can get these most places where electronics are sold, Amazon, Best Buy, 
Walmart, Target etc.

 

Walmart is expensive at $72.06 
 

 

Best Buy seems to be next with $61.99 

 

 

Amazon seems to be the least expensive by a little at $60.99 
 

 

Ed also mentioned you can get them on eBay for $49.99, but I didn’t check and 
whenever I tried to look them up on Target it redirected me to some 
international site which told me that I can now order from Target in Canada via 
some other company, I think it was called “Borderfree”, but it seems they might 
be $65.99 at Target which means Amazon or Best Buy are still your best options.

Hi Richard,

Question 1:You can take the side cover off and replace the battery. The 
batteries that come with them last a long time. I have had some last three or 
four years and I use my headsets every day.

Question 2:they have sound coming out both left and right I believe in 
Stereo.

Question 3:the band goes on top of the head. They are nice and light as 
I have worn them for eight to ten hours a day.

 

Also I wear hearing aids and they sit on top of my hearing aids just fine. Nice 
soft pads. They sit on the ear. They are not the cup kind wear your ear goes 
inside.

If you have any other questions please feel free to asked.

Mr. Ed

 

Hi Mr. Ed,

These logictech sound interesting.

I did not find anything about replacing the battery?

Also, are these stereo or single ear?

Lastly, do they wrap around the back of the head or over the top if stereo?

 

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

I have many sets of the Logitech H800 they are very good sounding  They have no 
Bluetooth lagging with VO as far as I can tell. I have used them for many 
years. They are very light and comfortable. You can use them on the computer 
with the mini dongle or you can Bluetooth them to a computer or iPhone. I do 
both. I also use them for Facetime and talking on my IPhone. The battery I 
think last about five or six hours. I have put a bigger battery 320 amp and it 
last for eight to nine hours I think as I have never timed it.

You can get them on ebay or Amazon. They also fold up for easy traveling.

Question about Braille Screen Input

2019-11-12 Thread dani pagador
Hi, Everyone.
I was watching YouTube videos on my 6S the other night with my
husband, and he needed to make some adjustments to be able to see the
video better. I think he turned the lock screen orientation feature
off and turned the brightness up so he could see the screen.

After watching the video, I updated to the new IOS.

Between the video watching and the update, my Braille Screen Input got
messed up. I used to be able to turn the phone so the Home button was
to the left and do BSI. Now I only have the option to turn the phone
so the Home button is on the right. If I turn the phone in the way I'm
used to, dots 4-5-6 are on the left.

Is there any way to get it back to what it was?

Thanks,
Dani

Hi Terri,

 

Do you sometimes use your phone with a braille display or Bluetooth keyboard? 
If so, connect it, open Messages, and double-tap to start writing. Press Eject 
on a Bluetooth keyboard or Space with dots 146 (think sh for show) to make the 
onscreen keyboard appear. Now turn off your phone and keyboard or display. When 
you go back into an edit box, the keyboard should be there.

Here are the steps to delete books:

1. Locate the Refresh button by touching the right side of the screen near the 
top or flick to it, I can usually touch it almost instantly.
2. Flick left once from the refresh button to "Delete" and double tap 3. Either 
touch your library area and drag your finger up or down to the book you want to 
delete or just flick right a few times after you double tap the master delete 
button 4. Once you find the book you want to delete, flick left once to its 
delete button, double tap it, wait a second and double tap again as the 
confirmation button will be exactly in the same place.
5. You are done.

If the rotor deletion method worked, you would simply avoid the first couple of 
steps of finding and double tapping the master delete button.
After that it's about the same amount of flicks and taps, find your book, 
instead of flicking left to delete you would flick up or down to switch the 
rotor to delete, then you would double tap and depending on how Audible would 
implement this, you may not have to double tap a second time to confirm with 
the rotor method, but maybe you would have to. I still agree that it would be 
nice to do it via the rotor, but I wouldn't go as far as calling the current 
method a pain.

Sieghard

I am going to have to agree with Marry deleting books in the app is a pain. 
They shouldn't have ever changed the way it use to work. @Josh I would have to 
really hate my books to return them. I am hoping to build up a massive library 
there. For some reason I am not able to buy extra credits right now. The app on 
IOS works fine for the most part, I hate the app on win 10 though.

Hi Terri,

Do you sometimes use your phone with a braille display or Bluetooth keyboard? 
If so, connect it, open Messages, and double-tap to start writing. Press Eject 
on a Bluetooth keyboard or Space with dots 146 (think sh for show) to make the 
onscreen keyboard appear. Now turn off your phone and keyboard or display. When 
you go back into an edit box, the keyboard should be there.

Best,
Anna

Re: Bluetooth headphones

2019-11-12 Thread Richard Turner
You can have two things to switch between.
A bluetooth paired item, like a cell phone.
Then something with a usb port that can route the audio through the USB dongle, 
normally a computer.
I've not heard of TV'S with a USB audio out port, or bluetooth for that matter.
There is a three position switch on the back of the right ear.
Off, Bluetooth, and RF usb which communicates through the little dongle.

Subject: RE: Bluetooth headphones

Carolyn,
They come with a very small USB dongle that transmit the audio to the 
headphones over a specific Radio Frequency; at least I believe that is what RF 
stands for.
So, you could pair them via Bluetooth with the computer instead of the phone, 
but they are designed to pair with the phone via Bluetooth and the computer via 
the USB dongle.
In the box, the little USB dongle was tightly in the middle of the plastic that 
the headphones sit in, inside the box.
But, there is a cover on the left earpiece that you can turn about an eighth of 
a turn and remove, and there is a spot in there to store the USB dongle when 
not in use.
The cover has a dot on it that is tactile, and one on the rim of the opening 
that is also tactile.  If you line them up, the cover can come off, or you line 
them up when putting it back on and then turn it clockwise about an eighth of a 
turn or less and it locks into place.
I like them very much and seem to be getting at least 5 or 6 hours out of a 
charge in the first couple of days.

Walmart does carry them, but they charge $72, while Amazon and Best Buy are 
60.99 and 61.99 respectively.
Here is the Walmart link:

I think Mr. Ed said Ebay was even less.
I bought mine at Best buy because there is a store close by.

Hi Carolyn,
I don't know if they have the Logitech H800 at Walmart. I have never seen them 
in the store. They have them on Amazon for $60 and on ebay for $49. They are 
worth every penny as far as I am concerned. I have three pair and I have 
friends that have them and they all love them. I was thinking about buying 
another pair for a backup. I hate to be without these headsets as they work so 
well with VO and also sit on my hearing aids and are very comfortable. They 
have great sound and work on the computer, iPhone and any other Bluetooth 
device. If anyone gets a pair of them and have questions I would provide my

I am a very hard stick.  I also do not like being admitted and

always have to have someone at my side watching me.  I will be 
praying for you.  If I had this device, I would not need 24 hour

The company would not even consider billing my insurance because 
I am not iniulin dependent.  It was both together.  Perhaps the 
company knew that my insurance would not pick up the cost because 
of nondependency on insulin.  They were most likely familiar with 
how insurance works.  That is my guess.  They did not say that my 
insurance would not pay, they just said the reason they would not 
provide.  But my insurance would most likely say the same thing.  
I am going to speak to my endocrinobogist.  He faught for my 
medicine to take with meals to absorb carbs so that they would 
not turn to sugar.  The low sugar was caused by weight loss 
surgery.  If the sugar gets too high, the body makes too much 
insulin, and sugar dumping happens.  The sugar dives dangerously 
low.  I have liquid glucose if I have a reaction.

Re: Please Join Me in Requesting that the Developers of the Audible for iOS / iPad OS App Add a Playback Sound Equalizer Feature

2019-11-12 Thread Joshua Hendrickson
The type of audible plan you have will determine how cheap it will be
to purchase the 3 credits.  I have the most expensive plan which costs
me about $230 per year.  However, this gets me 24 credits at once and
I only pay a little over $28 for 3 credits.  It is worth it in my
opinion.

Re: AirPods Pro

2019-11-12 Thread Ed Worrell
Hey Anthony,

If you go into bluetooth, select the AirPods more info button directly after 
the AirPods in the connection list you can go into settings. When you are in 
settings for the AirPods you can switch modes and listen to the sound 
indicators.

Double tap on the mode after Voiceover announces it and it will play the sound 
and switch modes. This is how I figured out the sounds and settings for the 
headphones.

They have indicated that if they receive enough requests, they will

You may contact them via Twitter at AudibleSupport, by leaving a

As always your support is greatly appreciated.

Re: Question about scheduling an event

2019-11-12 Thread Wayne Merritt
You can set a reminder with Fantastical. When scheduling a new
appointment/reminder, I use the show More button to show a full
display of options. Among these, one of the first is a button which
says something like Schedule Event. I double tap that to change it to
schedule reminder, and then I get the usual reminder options. I don't
use Reminders a lot, but I nearly always use Fantastical to schedule a
reminder because it is easy to use, and toggling between appointments
and reminders is very easy. I don't use Siri to set reminders or
appointments within Fantastical, so I can't speak to that.

Hello,
It is accessible on the iPhone. From what I have read there is about 200 titles 
with audio description. However none of the TV series or original content is 
audio described sadly.

Does VoiceDream Reader have a Volume-boosting feature?

2019-11-12 Thread Gerardo Corripio
You know how some material one downloads off for instance “The MegaMall” in 
terms of films and series in MP3, the volume isn’t that great? Does the Voice 
Dream Reader app have some sort of a volume-boosting feature one could use to 
raise the volume a bit more, especially in cases like mine with a 70% hearing 
loss, without having to depend using software on our computers (MP3gain) to 
raise the volume of MP3 files?

RE: Bluetooth headphones

2019-11-12 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
You don't have to be a member to order from Amazon. A Amazon Prime membership 
simply gives you a bit faster shipping and sometimes a lower minimum to get 
free shipping, but you wouldn't pay shipping if you ordered this $60.99 headset 
from them and you would most likely have it 2 days later or 3 at the most.

You can get these most places where electronics are sold, Amazon, Best Buy, 
Walmart, Target etc.

 

Walmart is expensive at $72.06 
 

 

Best Buy seems to be next with $61.99 

 

 

Amazon seems to be the least expensive by a little at $60.99 
 

 

Ed also mentioned you can get them on eBay for $49.99, but I didn’t check and 
whenever I tried to look them up on Target it redirected me to some 
international site which told me that I can now order from Target in Canada via 
some other company, I think it was called “Borderfree”, but it seems they might 
be $65.99 at Target which means Amazon or Best Buy are still your best options.

Hi Richard,

Question 1:You can take the side cover off and replace the battery. The 
batteries that come with them last a long time. I have had some last three or 
four years and I use my headsets every day.

Question 2:they have sound coming out both left and right I believe in 
Stereo.

Question 3:the band goes on top of the head. They are nice and light as 
I have worn them for eight to ten hours a day.

 

Also I wear hearing aids and they sit on top of my hearing aids just fine. Nice 
soft pads. They sit on the ear. They are not the cup kind wear your ear goes 
inside.

If you have any other questions please feel free to asked.

Mr. Ed

 

Hi Mr. Ed,

These logictech sound interesting.

I did not find anything about replacing the battery?

Also, are these stereo or single ear?

Lastly, do they wrap around the back of the head or over the top if stereo?

 

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

I have many sets of the Logitech H800 they are very good sounding  They have no 
Bluetooth lagging with VO as far as I can tell. I have used them for many 
years. They are very light and comfortable. You can use them on the computer 
with the mini dongle or you can Bluetooth them to a computer or iPhone. I do 
both. I also use them for Facetime and talking on my IPhone. The battery I 
think last about five or six hours. I have put a bigger battery 320 amp and it 
last for eight to nine hours I think as I have never timed it.

You can get them on ebay or Amazon. They also fold up for easy traveling.

Hi all.

I am after recommendations of Bluetooth headphones for my wife. She wants the

She just wants some cheap ones, but with reasonable sound. We bought some off

Does anyone know any that work with the speech without lagging.

RE: Please Join Me in Requesting that the Developers of the Audible for iOS / iPad OS App Add a Playback Sound Equalizer Feature

2019-11-12 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Here are the steps to delete books:

1. Locate the Refresh button by touching the right side of the screen near the 
top or flick to it, I can usually touch it almost instantly.
2. Flick left once from the refresh button to "Delete" and double tap
3. Either touch your library area and drag your finger up or down to the book 
you want to delete or just flick right a few times after you double tap the 
master delete button
4. Once you find the book you want to delete, flick left once to its delete 
button, double tap it, wait a second and double tap again as the confirmation 
button will be exactly in the same place.
5. You are done.

If the rotor deletion method worked, you would simply avoid the first couple of 
steps of finding and double tapping the master delete button.
After that it's about the same amount of flicks and taps, find your book, 
instead of flicking left to delete you would flick up or down to switch the 
rotor to delete, then you would double tap and depending on how Audible would 
implement this, you may not have to double tap a second time to confirm with 
the rotor method, but maybe you would have to. I still agree that it would be 
nice to do it via the rotor, but I wouldn't go as far as calling the current 
method a pain.

Regards,
Sieghard

You can get these most places where electronics are sold, Amazon, Best Buy, 
Walmart, Target etc.

 

Walmart is expensive at $72.06 
 

 

Best Buy seems to be next with $61.99 

 

 

Amazon seems to be the least expensive by a little at $60.99 
 

 

Ed also mentioned you can get them on eBay for $49.99, but I didn’t check and 
whenever I tried to look them up on Target it redirected me to some 
international site which told me that I can now order from Target in Canada via 
some other company, I think it was called “Borderfree”, but it seems they might 
be $65.99 at Target which means Amazon or Best Buy are still your best options.

Hi Richard,

Question 1:You can take the side cover off and replace the battery. The 
batteries that come with them last a long time. I have had some last three or 
four years and I use my headsets every day.

Question 2:they have sound coming out both left and right I believe in 
Stereo.

Question 3:the band goes on top of the head. They are nice and light as 
I have worn them for eight to ten hours a day.

 

Also I wear hearing aids and they sit on top of my hearing aids just fine. Nice 
soft pads. They sit on the ear. They are not the cup kind wear your ear goes 
inside.

If you have any other questions please feel free to asked.

Mr. Ed

 

Hi Mr. Ed,

These logictech sound interesting.

I did not find anything about replacing the battery?

Also, are these stereo or single ear?

Lastly, do they wrap around the back of the head or over the top if stereo?

 

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

I have many sets of the Logitech H800 they are very good sounding  They have no 
Bluetooth lagging with VO as far as I can tell. I have used them for many 
years. They are very light and comfortable. You can use them on the computer 
with the mini dongle or you can Bluetooth them to a computer or iPhone. I do 
both. I also use them for Facetime and talking on my IPhone. The battery I 
think last about five or six hours. I have put a bigger battery 320 amp and it 
last for eight to nine hours I think as I have never timed it.

You can get them on ebay or Amazon. They also fold up for easy traveling.

Subject: RE: Bluetooth headphones

Carolyn,
They come with a very small USB dongle that transmit the audio to the 
headphones over a specific Radio Frequency; at least I believe that is what RF 
stands for.
So, you could pair them via Bluetooth with the computer instead of the phone, 
but they are designed to pair with the phone via Bluetooth and the computer via 
the USB dongle.
In the box, the little USB dongle was tightly in the middle of the plastic that 
the headphones sit in, inside the box.
But, there is a cover on the left earpiece that you can turn about an eighth of 
a turn and remove, and there is a spot in there to store the USB dongle when 
not in use.
The cover has a dot on it that is tactile, and one on the rim of the opening 
that is also tactile.  If you line them up, the cover can come off, or you line 
them up when putting it back on and then turn it clockwise about an eighth of a 
turn or less and it locks into place.
I like them very much and seem to be getting at least 5 or 6 hours out of a 
charge in the first couple of days.

Walmart does carry them, but they charge $72, while Amazon and Best Buy are 
60.99 and 61.99 respectively.
Here is the Walmart link:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Logitech-H800-Wireless-Headset/17803212

I think Mr. Ed said Ebay was even less.
I bought mine at Best buy because there is a store close by.

Thanks for the instructions.
That will save me some time with trying to scan or find the manual online.
 They claim a frequency range of 31 to 15,000 hertz  .
That should be fine for most music unless it has orchestra then you will likely 
miss out on the high frequencies.

Personally, I'm mostly interested in them for books, Email, etc.
I have really good wired headphones for music listening, so I'm hoping these 
will do the trick for me.

These do go over the head and are quite comfortable. The sound is decent but in 
my opinion, not the best for music. But you can use the USB dongle for use with 
the computer and have it paired via

blue tooth to your iPhone. If you are on the computer and your phone rings, you 
just slide the switch from USB to BT. A little heads up, the dongle is inside 
the cover on the left earpiece.
Here are some really good instruction I got from Mike B:

Device selection switch, located at the rear of the right ear piece.
When you have the headset on, the device selection switch on the right ear can 
be slid to its bottom setting for off, the middle setting for Bluetooth, and 
the top setting for RF with the dongle / receiver plugged into the computer.

Volume up, located at 12:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

Volume down, located at 6:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

Microphone mute, located at 9:00 on the face of the right ear piece.
The mute button mutes all sound input to the headset when playing music.
The mute button mutes the boom microphone when on the phone.

Play/pause or Answer call/end call, located at 3:00 on the face of the right 
ear piece.

Next track/Fast Forward, located at the bottom of the right ear piece between 
the USB port and the power/device selection switch.
Press the button down towards the charging port for, Next Track / Fast Forward.

Previous track/Rewind, located at the bottom of the right ear piece between the 
USB port and the power/device selection switch.
Press the button up towards the device selection switch for, Previous Track / 
Rewind.

To put into pairing mode:
press the next toggle button on the bottom and the volume up button at the same 
time for around 7 seconds. On an I device be in BT setting and you will see the 
headset so double tap on it and it should pair easily.
HTH, Marie

Hey Anthony,

It depends. When you are wearing only one AirPod you can switch between 
transparency mode and off, when you are wearing both AirPods you can switch 
between off, Noise Canceling mode and Transparency mode. So I guess the true

I hope this helps,

No.

That is, you can have transparency (so mikes pick up "interesting" signals
and play them), noise cancelling (find sound patterns, produce
anti-patterns to cancel) or off (no processing). Off obviously uses the
least power ;> ... with the new tips, probably provides some modest noise
isolation, hence the utility of transparency mode ;>

Yes, sorry , wrong term. Yes you can use your credits to purchase new books 
from Audible right in the IOS Audible app. There five tabs at the bottom of the 
screen when you open the Audible app. They are: Home, My library, Player, 
Originals, and Discover.
If you explore books or other offerings in Home, Originals, or Discover, you 
can double tap on any of the books shown in those tabs to expand that option. 
You will see under Summary and Sample, the option to add to "My Library" if you 
have credits available. Double tap the "Add" option and in your Library it 
goes. You will receive a prompt "Add to your Library for one credit?" So double 
tap that and that's all you need to do. You will find the the new book in your 
library.
Best,
Terri Hedgpeth

That is a very cool feature.  Terry when you say points, I'm assuming you can 
use your audible credits.

Re: Please Join Me in Requesting that the Developers of the Audible for iOS / iPad OS App Add a Playback Sound Equalizer Feature

2019-11-12 Thread Joshua Hendrickson
Mark, as you mentioned the tone feature of bard mobile.  That is a
pretty cool feature.  While I don't have any hearing loss, I usually
change my tone setting to minus one, just to give my bard books a
touch extra bass.  This in my opinion, gives my books a little fuller
and warmer sound.

Re: AirPods Pro

2019-11-12 Thread Ed Worrell
Hello Devin,

The ambiance or transparency mode is in either mode (stereo or mono). This 
depends on if you have both AirPods in your ears or only one. I love using the 
transparency mode when I am at work I can listen to audio books or music and 
hear when someone walks into my office or needs to talk with me.

Re: AirPods Pro

Hi,
Just want to let everyone know who is interested, that QVC is having a today 
special value sale on the AirPods second generation I can’t remember the exact 
price, but I think it is around $120 and it has extra things that are included 
but since I really wasn’t interested, I didn’t pay that much attention. But you 
can check it out if you’re interested.
Thank you.

Hi Rich,

Yes, I just checked the Apple Store app, and you can get AirPods Pro, regular 
AirPods with a wireless charging case, or regular AirPods with a regular 
charging case.

I read this morning that there is AD on some of the content but that
it buffers a lot on the Apple TV.  This would be unacceptable for me
if I'm paying ofr something.
Being its so new I think I'll wait a while before I think about
getting it.  Also hope they include older Disney fare, there is some
now  but I want 40s 50s and 60s stuff. And a lo of it.

Yes, sorry , wrong term. Yes you can use your credits to purchase new books 
from Audible right in the IOS Audible app. There five tabs at the bottom of 
the screen when you open the Audible app. They are: Home, My library, 
Player, Originals, and Discover.
If you explore books or other offerings in Home, Originals, or Discover, you 
can double tap on any of the books shown in those tabs to expand that 
option. You will see under Summary and Sample, the option to add to "My 
Library" if you have credits available. Double tap the "Add" option and in 
your Library it goes. You will receive a prompt "Add to your Library for one 
credit?" So double tap that and that's all you need to do. You will find the 
the new book in your library.

Best,

I love the new feature that allows you to purchase books in Audible
with your points, right from the IOS app. It took a few years for
Audible to negotiate this option with Apple.

Audible has now discontinued the return feature. The last time I
checked they changed it to an exchange rather than a return.
So if you have any books in the library, they are all available in the 
App.

And, like siegard, I love the Audible app and use it all the time. I
have been an Audible customer for about twenty years so have lots of

I'm sure somebody has done a tutorial or Podcast about the Audible

 The following information is important for all members of the V 

Disney Plus accessibility and described movies

2019-11-12 Thread Wayne Merritt
Greetings. AS the subject says, I am wondering if there are any early
adopters of the Disney Plus service/app, how accessible it is with
VoiceOver, and how many movies/shows are audio described? This is a
new streaming service starting today which is competitively priced at
$6.99 US I believe. Disney has several major properties including
their own content, Pixar, Star Wars, Marval, and others I'm
forgetting. They also have content and shows from National Geographic,
which is also appealing. Considering they are priced below NetFlix, it
is a tempting offer, provided there's a fair amount of described
content.

Thanks,
Wayne

You can also search for books in the My Library tab. Below the
information that the book is not in your library, you will find
results which you can use a credit. This assumes you do have a credit
to use. I hope they add the ability at some point of pre-ordering a
book with a credit. This is nice progress though.

Hi,

When you turn on the transparent mode, how much of the ambient sound do you 
hear? Does it sound realistic or over-processed?

RE: Please Join Me in Requesting that the Developers of the Audible for iOS / iPad OS App Add a Playback Sound Equalizer Feature

2019-11-12 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Mary,

I am dismayed that you could care less about an accessibility feature that 
would greatly enhance the listening experience for those of us with various 
degrees of hearing frequency loss. While I am glad that, based on your comment, 
you do not have such a loss of hearing, there are plenty of people in our 
community who do struggle with this challenge everyday.  

One reason why, when given a choice, I will always choose the BARD Mobile app 
over the Audible app is because of BARD's built-in playback equalizer feature.  
Be that as it may, there are a great many more recently released commercially 
produced titles available on Audible which is why I would love to see an 
equalizer added to its feature-set.

Regardless, in support of your endeavor, I have sent an email, via the Audible 
app, requesting that the delete title Rotor action feature be restored to the 
app, as you requested.  

I trust that you will reciprocate in kind.

Mark

Hi Mark,
Frankly, I personally could care less about this. What I care far more about is 
the fact that, despite me and I know a few other people riding to audible and 
asking them to restore the actions rotor so the deleting items is much easier 
like it used to be, they insist on not doing it. So I would ask you to please 
join me in asking audible to allow use of the action rotor invoice over to 
easily delete items from one’s device. The present system is needlessly 
complicated.

Yes, sorry , wrong term. Yes you can use your credits to purchase new books 
from Audible right in the IOS Audible app. There five tabs at the bottom of the 
screen when you open the Audible app. They are: Home, My library, Player, 
Originals, and Discover.
If you explore books or other offerings in Home, Originals, or Discover, you 
can double tap on any of the books shown in those tabs to expand that option. 
You will see under Summary and Sample, the option to add to "My Library" if you 
have credits available. Double tap the "Add" option and in your Library it 
goes. You will receive a prompt "Add to your Library for one credit?" So double 
tap that and that's all you need to do. You will find the the new book in your 
library.

Do you mean that your insurance wouldn’t pay for it? That I believe. But I was 
able to get the libre, so long as I was willing to pay for it. It’s not cheap. 
But it is cheaper than the DX calm, although that has more features.

Audible has now discontinued the return feature. The last time I checked

So if you have any books in the library, they are all available in the App.
And, like siegard, I love the Audible app and use it all the time. I have

I do have an audible account, I just prefer not to use the app to listen to

I often return my books although purchasing 3 credits for a little over $28

I'm sure somebody has done a tutorial or Podcast about the Audible app

double tap the book title if you want the jump forward and backward

Audible has now discontinued the return feature. The last time I checked they 
changed it to an exchange rather than a return.
So if you have any books in the library, they are all available in the App.
And, like siegard, I love the Audible app and use it all the time. I have been

I do have an audible account, I just prefer not to use the app to listen to my 
audible books.  My audible books don't usually stay on my library because I 
often return my books although purchasing 3 credits for a little over $28 is 
pretty neat.  If all the audible books I own were actually on my audible 
library, then maybe I'd really like the app a bit more.

One thing you guys may not know.

If audible lose the publishing rights, to a book. Then they will remove it 
from your library, even though you have used a credit. and they don't tell 
you, or return your credit, unless, you notice it gone from your library.


Dave.

Hi,
The only time I've seen the ability to purchase extra credits be unavailable 
is when you're within 30 days of your plan renewing. I hope that helps and 
if I'm wrong I'm sure others will offer further insights.

I am going to have to agree with Marry deleting books in the app is a
pain. They shouldn't have ever changed the way it use to work. @Josh I
would have to really hate my books to return them. I am hoping to
build up a massive library there. For some reason I am not able to buy
extra credits right now. The app on IOS works fine for the most part,
I hate the app on win 10 though.

Hi Sandy.  I do not own an orbit20, but I can answer one of your
questions.  You can indeed purchase other SD cards to store content
for your orbit20.  Braille files or .txt files are very small, so you
could put a large number of books on a very small SD card.  Someone
who has an orbit20 will have to answer your other questions.  However,
I'd highly recommend that you read the manual that is on your orbit20
which could give you some help as well.  I've considered purchasing an
orbit20 myself as it would be neat to be able to type text messages in
braille and I'm assuming that I could turn off the speech in voiceover
and just see the braille on my orbit20 and still be able to navigate
my iPhone 8.  Glad you have a braille display now, and I hope you

Re: Please Join Me in Requesting that the Developers of the Audible for iOS / iPad OS App Add a Playback Sound Equalizer Feature

2019-11-12 Thread Marie
Audible has now discontinued the return feature. The last time I checked 
they changed it to an exchange rather than a return.

So if you have any books in the library, they are all available in the App.
And, like siegard, I love the Audible app and use it all the time. I have 
been an Audible customer for about twenty years so have lots of books there. 
LOL!

I do have an audible account, I just prefer not to use the app to
listen to my audible books.  My audible books don't usually stay on my
library because I often return my books although purchasing 3 credits
for a little over $28 is pretty neat.  If all the audible books I own
were actually on my audible library, then maybe I'd really like the
app a bit more.

Hi Sandy.  I do not own an orbit20, but I can answer one of your
questions.  You can indeed purchase other SD cards to store content
for your orbit20.  Braille files or .txt files are very small, so you
could put a large number of books on a very small SD card.  Someone
who has an orbit20 will have to answer your other questions.  However,
I'd highly recommend that you read the manual that is on your orbit20
which could give you some help as well.  I've considered purchasing an
orbit20 myself as it would be neat to be able to type text messages in
braille and I'm assuming that I could turn off the speech in voiceover
and just see the braille on my orbit20 and still be able to navigate
my iPhone 8.  Glad you have a braille display now, and I hope you
really enjoy it.

When editing a file, is it just using the left and right arrows to shift

So, for example, when I have 2 letters together, say, b and n, when what I

I

Really, any help much appreciated.

Re: Please Join Me in Requesting that the Developers of the Audible for iOS / iPad OS App Add a Playback Sound Equalizer Feature

2019-11-12 Thread Joshua Hendrickson
I do have an audible account, I just prefer not to use the app to
listen to my audible books.  My audible books don't usually stay on my
library because I often return my books although purchasing 3 credits
for a little over $28 is pretty neat.  If all the audible books I own
were actually on my audible library, then maybe I'd really like the
app a bit more.

Re: Using a brand new Orbit Reader with my iPhone 8 or 6?

2019-11-12 Thread Joshua Hendrickson
Hi Sandy.  I do not own an orbit20, but I can answer one of your
questions.  You can indeed purchase other SD cards to store content
for your orbit20.  Braille files or .txt files are very small, so you
could put a large number of books on a very small SD card.  Someone
who has an orbit20 will have to answer your other questions.  However,
I'd highly recommend that you read the manual that is on your orbit20
which could give you some help as well.  I've considered purchasing an
orbit20 myself as it would be neat to be able to type text messages in
braille and I'm assuming that I could turn off the speech in voiceover
and just see the braille on my orbit20 and still be able to navigate
my iPhone 8.  Glad you have a braille display now, and I hope you
really enjoy it.

Using a brand new Orbit Reader with my iPhone 8 or 6?

2019-11-12 Thread 'Sandy Tomkins' via VIPhone
Hi,

Just received my Orbit Reader 20 and could make use of any good tips as to 
how to use it with my iPhones. I see there is an SD card installed, can I buy 
more and use them too? Can it work as a sort of file storage option? When 
editing a file, is it just using the left and right arrows to shift the cursor 
along? Also, is the position of the cursor the same as with apple? So, for 
example, when I have 2 letters together, say, b and n, when what I meant to 
write was "but not," so, with a space between them, where should I position the 
cursor to insert a space?

Really, any help much appreciated.

RE: Please Join Me in Requesting that the Developers of the Audible for iOS / iPad OS App Add a Playback Sound Equalizer Feature

2019-11-12 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
I guess if you don't use Audible there  is little need for the app, but if you 
do have an Audible account there is nothing better, easier and more enjoyable 
than the Audible app.
I find the learning curve is quite small and certainly no more and maybe less 
steep than for an app like Voice Dream Reader.
I'm sure somebody has done a tutorial or Podcast about the Audible app and if 
you know a few basics as in how you download books from your library of 
available books, how to delete them and that you have to double tap the book 
title if you want the jump forward and backward buttons to turn into Skip 
Chapter and Go back a chapter it's really a very simple and fully accessible 
app.

I don't use the audible app although I have it installed.  I didn't care for it

2019-11-12 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Mary,

I agree that I would probably also prefer the action rotor for deleting items, 
but it's been a very long time since that was working and by now tapping on the 
Master delete button and then the delete button for a particular book has 
become second nature and I find it simple enough and the only extra taps  you 
really have are to double tap the master delete button first.

Hi Mark,
Frankly, I personally could care less about this. What I care far more about is 
the fact that, despite me and I know a few other people riding to audible and 
asking them to restore the actions rotor so the deleting items is much easier 
like it used to be, they insist on not doing it. So I would ask you to please 
join me in asking audible to allow use of the action rotor invoice over to 
easily delete items from one’s device. The present system is needlessly
