  I have had the Tado thermostat for three or four years now. The app works 
with Voiceover to set schedules, alter the temperature etc. The Tado can track 
your movements and turn on or off automatically should nobody be at home. It 
also works with the Amazon Echo well and may well work with Google, but I have 
not tried this.

Hi All,

I'm in need of a thermostat that can be operated through an app and, is

to other suggestions.  I have the VIP talking thermostat, but I can't use this 
since it can't be operated through an app.  This thermostat is for our 2nd 
house and this Is why I need to be able to control it from anywhere.  All help 
is greatly appreciated.


Stay safe & take care.  Mike.

Hello,
I am looking for an app to be able to record/pause  and perform quick edits or 
replace parts of recording on the iPhone with VoiceOver.
Does anyone have a recommendation?
I already tried using the VoiceMemos app on the phone and although I can record 
and make replacement to parts of recording, I can't seem to locate a means of 
trimming parts of recordings accessibly. When I place the wave form in what I

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

RE: Diabetes Management & Glycemic Index Apps

[Simon A Fogarty]

Hi Linda,

Sudden drops are always going to be an issue for you but things you could look 
in to would be the

Freestyle Libre Link
Which has a very accessible app for the iPhone,
And the sensor is approx. 1.25 inchs diameter and is attached to the back of 
your arm while in use,

Usage time is approx. 14 days,
Possibly shorter if in the USA (not sure why).

They are a product of Abbott diabetes care which is a Uk company I believe.

I use these myself as a type 1 / insulin dependant diabetic.

There is also another product called  dexcom

These are again a CGM device which can talk to your mobile phone via a usable 
app on the phone.
The Dexcom also has a Bluetooth attachment which means unlike the libre link 
you don’t have to scan the sensor to get the BG reading.

The Dexcom can talk directly to your phone / app via Bluetooth every I think 
its 5 minutes and therefore gives you a more constant glucose reading.

Also both systems apps allow you to setup alert / alarms that if readings are 
to low, they will not just tell you but can be made to send a message to 
important other who can then carry out any assistance if required.


As for apps re food / glicemic index etc,

There are probably a lot but you would be best to check out what is available 
in your country of residence,
I don’t’ think the app I have for new Zealand would be of any good to you in 
your nation of origion

Hope this helps.

Good luck

Hi Everyone,

I an a non-insulin dependent diabetic. Recently diagnosed after having Covid. 
My knowledge of tools to manage blood sugar is limited to talking glucometers. 
My problem is this, my blood sugar drops so rapidly, by the time I realize 
there is a problem, it is too late. Are there any apps that would work along 
with a patch that could alert me to the fact my sugar is dropping rapidly? I am 
afraid to work my dog outside alone for fear of having a severe hypoglycemia

Also, has anyone found an accessible app for determining the glycemic index of 
various foods?

Re: Diabetes Management & Glycemic Index Apps

[Robert stigile]

Hello linda,
The alarms Andy is referring to on the free style libre only work for someone 
with enough sight to set them.
The version of the free style that will have alarms that someone like myself 
who is totally blind has not been approved by the fda yet.
If you are totally blind and need the high and low alarms i suggest the dexcom 
as its fully accessible and it also has the ability for someone else to recieve 
notifications that you are high or low.

Re: Diabetes Management & Glycemic Index Apps

Hi linda,

Sounds like you need a CGM, continuous glucose monitor.  This is a sensor that 
attaches to your body, which comes with a reader that requires vision, but they 
also have an iPhone app.  The Freestyle libre CGM has an app that is 
accessible.  You can set high and low parameters which would trigger and 
audible alarm when reached.  There is also the Dexcom 6 which works pretty much 
the same way.  I can't vouch for the accessibility of the app for the Dexcom 
but someone here might be able to.

RE: 2048 game app

[chaffin102468]

Hi Traci,

 

Yes, I really like this game. My family plays it, so I was so happy to find an 
accessible one.

 

The object is to match numbers together until you reach the number 2048 before 
you run out of moves.

This is a game that you can play for a while, put down, and come back to it 
later.

 

The board is a grid of columns and rows. I like turning my rotor to virtual 
navigation, that way you can move by row or column just by swiping 1 finger the 
direction you want to go.

 

Now, when it comes to moving numbers, you can not move just one number, 
instead, you move all numbers the direction you choose. You move by swiping 3 
fingers whichever direction you want numbers to move.

For example, when you start a game, you have 2 number twos on the board.

If they are on the same column or row, then just swipe 3 fingers toward one of 
the number twos, and they will go together and turn into a number 4.

So when two numbers comes together to make a single number, more numbers will 
appear on the grid to fill in some of your empty squares.

 

Remember, only same numbers go together, like 2 twos, 2 fours, 2 eights, etc.

 

I hope this has made sense.

 

Good luck!

 

Chris

Hi,

I know this is not an I phone question but possibly some of you might be able 
to help.  How do you ask Alexa please to bring up previous Radio 4 In Touch 
programs please.  What are the commands . If I ask her for the most recent one 
that's ok but it's ones before that I can't get.  Thanks.

Diabetes Management & Glycemic Index Apps

[lynda.ingraham]

Hi Everyone, 

 

I an a non-insulin dependent diabetic. Recently diagnosed after having
Covid. My knowledge of tools to manage blood sugar is limited to talking
glucometers. My problem is this, my blood sugar drops so rapidly, by the
time I realize there is a problem, it is too late. Are there any apps that
would work along with a patch that could alert me to the fact my sugar is
dropping rapidly? I am afraid to work my dog outside alone for fear of
having a severe hypoglycemia attack. 

 

Also, has anyone found an accessible app for determining the glycemic index
of various foods? 

 

Thank you in advance, 

 

Lynda

Re: 1 3 word app

['RobH.' via VIPhone]

Spelling would be critical, but since a computer is involved, the result  would 
be accurate or so wildlyinaccurate as  to be clear 
enough not to take seriously.
The other aspect is how good gps signal was when the code/location was set.  
That would be outside the scope of the sender to deal 
with, or have any control over.

But even a location within 100yds would be of some benefit.

It is not very good with VoiceOver.  It is workable, but lots of unlabeled

It may be enough to get your location if you are at a place with good GPS

RE: Bose frames

[Christopher Chaltain]

Agreed, but ear buds like the original Airpods have very little noise 
cancellation and wouldn't block much sound. Ear buds like the Airpod Pros have 
transparency mode so would allow ambient noise to come through.

Your choice, but I think that would look odd,

 With the frames you are wearing glasses as the speakers are within the arms of 
them as are the volume and power / play etc controls, Infact all you would see 
is the very small power button on the base of the arm as a control.

And wearing earpods / airpods wouldn't let you hear the surrounding sounds like 
the frames or aftershockz will give you.

 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

Yeah there are three options I believe,

Orange 
Yellow and the default which I believe is a general sunglass shade / format.
But I've got a feeling there might be a blue shade as well.

 Hi. The Frames Tempo doe not have the directional features of the earlier

 Subject: RE: Bose frames
 
 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.

I guess if I look at it that way it would be just as easier to wear Earbuds
