Wow!  Watching a movie must be really cool!  I think the Bose frames are neat 
as well!  I'm going to experiment to see if I can use them with Soundscape.

The Tempo seems to be highly recommended by list members.  However I 
noticed that the older alto has two features not mentioned in any of the 
newer models:

Integrated microphone
Multi-directional motion sensor

Do the newer models have microphones for taking calls or giving commands

What is the advantage of a multidirectional motion sensor, either in

I hope someone has tried the alto and knows what this does.

RE: Could a smart backpack replace guide dogs? Researchers think so. - The Washington Post

The Washington Post

Hi,

I’m going to put my two cents in here, and then I’ll fold my hands and stop 
using the keyboard. 

I have made more friends and enjoyed my life far more since I stopped being 
imbarrased about my blindness and learned how to relax and be comfortable with 
who I am. But not being able to see even light is only part of who I am. I 
don’t shove my blindness in anyone’s face, but I don’t cover it up. It’s just 
part of who I am. I’d rather get from point A to point B with a cane, a dog, or 
a computer (whatever works best for me) than to have to depend on someone to 
walk me everywhere. I take help when I really need it, but I try to do what I 
can for myself. The more we relax with ourselves and with others, the more they 
will relax with us, no matter what we use for mobility. We’re never going to 
please everyone. That’s just the facts. And I use a guide dog because I can get 
where I’m going quicker and safer. I hate using a cane because I don’t use it 
smoothly. I love my dog, but if the backpack works and isn’t too cumbersome, 
I’d probably give it a try. I’ve come full circle from the way I used to be, 
and I’m so much happier now.

Cheers,

Shirley Tracy

I agree that a cane does not help if somebody has no sense of direction, but to 
be embarrassed by it to make is not an issue and I think nobody should be 
embarrassed about whatever it is they need to be independent. This would be 
like somebody in a wheelchair being embarrassed that they have to use a 
wheelchair or somebody with a hearing aid being embarrassed they need one of 
those. How about people who lost a limb and have a prosthetic arm or leg, 
should they be embarrassed?
The fact is that we all are who we are and if you are embarrassed by the cane 
then where does that stop? Would you be embarrassed if you had to wear thick 
glasses and how about that future super backpack, people will still know that 
you are blind and the smart, high-tech content of said backpack will require 
all sorts of sensors and cameras to function which maybe more or less 
noticeable by others. And in any case, what do I care what others think? Maybe 
I care to a degree when it comes to people close to me, but if I were walking 
down the street and a bunch of idiots were openly pointing at me and laughing 
their heads off because of my cane then I would maybe pity them, but I sure 
wouldn't feel embarrassed by it.

completely agree! I know it's handy for giving the sighted wallies who don't

if one has no sense of direction, the cane is of very limited use for actually

Hi,

Since the last update my swoosh sound when I send a text message is 
missing.

I know this happened with others, even those who don't use Voice Over.
All my other sounds are working and the sound is set to play under
sounds, so is there another way to get it back or just wait!

Thanks.

RE: Could a smart backpack replace guide dogs? Researchers think so. - The Washington Post

2021-05-29 Thread Shirley Tracy

Hi, I’m going to put my two cents in here, and then I’ll fold my hands and stop using the keyboard.  I have made more friends and enjoyed my life far more since I stopped being imbarrased about my blindness and learned how to relax and be comfortable with who I am. But not being able to see even light is only part of who I am. I don’t shove my blindness in anyone’s face, but I don’t cover it up. It’s just part of who I am. I’d rather get from point A to point B with a cane, a dog, or a computer (whatever works best for me) than to have to depend on someone to walk me everywhere. I take help when I really need it, but I try to do what I can for myself. The more we relax with ourselves and with others, the more they will relax with us, no matter what we use for mobility. We’re never going to please everyone. That’s just the facts. And I use a guide dog because I can get where I’m going quicker and safer. I hate using a cane because I don’t use it smoothly. I love my dog, but if the backpack works and isn’t too cumbersome, I’d probably give it a try. I’ve come full circle from the way I used to be, and I’m so much happier now.

Hello technically the tempos have what you specified that you were looking for 
as far as the microphone microphones are really great and I have to disagree on 
the sensor thing because the sensors are also present here to the S they may 
not be mentioned in the specs but that’s also there as well they’re heavily 
constructed I love my pair and the battery lasts a whole lot longer I like the 
cable that it came with it’s a regular USB see cable not the magnet type. The 
audio is much clearer and you can totally hear your surroundings and I have to 
agree I do love the polarized lenses as well. If you have any questions feel

The iPhone cannot take your temperature.

It has no way to do that.

You have to have a separate thermometer.

Independent Living Aids and LS Products Inc. probably have the same one.
I'd check all three places and compare prices.
But, what is the name of the one you have?

RE: Bose frames

2021-05-29 Thread Beverly Wieland

I am a month behind in reading mail from this list.  Hope you will forgive 
me for asking questions on Bose Frames.
I didn't know about them and am absolutely fascinated by the idea!  I want 
headphones I can wear while walking outside that would allow me to listen 
to GPS directions from my phone as well as sounds in the environment.  The 
open ear technology sounds like it will do that.


Since I have no vision, not even light perception, the lenses are not 
important except that polarized do seem to be better than non-polarized.
The Tempo seems to be highly recommended by list members.  However I 
noticed that the older alto has two features not mentioned in any of the 
newer models:

Integrated microphone
Multi-directional motion sensor

Do the newer models have microphones for taking calls or giving commands 
to the phone?
What is the advantage of a multidirectional motion sensor, either in 
general or for me as a blind user?

I hope someone has tried the alto and knows what this does.

Thank you in advance for your help, as well as for bearing with me on this 
subject.

Stopping Microphone sound in wireless headphones

2021-05-29 Thread Kelly Ford

Hi,

I don’t know if anyone has an idea or if what I want is even possible. I am 
trying some beats flex wireless headphones. Anytime that the microphone is 
enabled with these headphones, I hear a bit of microphone sound  through the 
headphones, almost like a recording studio audeo monitor function or something. 
 I have never heard this with wired headphones and obviously would prefer not 
to have it when using dictation or a audio phone call of any sort.  Currently 
as soon as the microphone is turned on, you can hear it Kickin in the 
headphones.
