Hello, I thought I’d send a message about this new switch in the mail settings 
in IOS16. It's just after the privacy setting, and before the threading 
options. It's called follow-up suggesttions. Reading about this feature 
answered my internal question about why some sent mail was ending up in my 
inbox a few days later. I wonered if it was waiting to send that message until 
that later date, or what was going on. It turns out that yes the mail goes out 
when you send it, but if you have questions within that email to whomever, then 
Apple thinks you might want to follow up, if that person doesn’t reply to your 
message. If you like this feature, it's on by default, but if not, switch it 
off and your messages will not return to your inbox like they have been.

I guess if that is the only space you have then that is what it is, but 
mounting a TV that high is not great, it should be eye level when you sit on 
the couch or wherever you normally sit.

You're quite welcome, Christopher.

One thing I've learned about the latest models of the Sony Bravia line is that 
they seem to have removed the 3.5 audio jack for headphones.  There are a great 
many articles on the web written by people who are so very disappointed by this 
fact.

I must admit, I was a bit surprised by this, also.

There may be some kind of adapter that one can insert into one of the ports 
but, as yet, I have not researched this very much.

There are times, very rarely to be honest, when I like to use a 3.5 audio 
headset such as when there are several people in the living room and I do not 
wish to disturb them when they are reading, studying, etc.   I only do this 
once or twice a year but still ...

When you receive your new television, if you do not like a great deal of bass 
and you do not wish to tweak the OS equalizer,  set the sound audio to wall 
unit instead of table top so that the audio will be directed at you instead of 
being directed towards the table, creating more of a bass sound.

It seems to me that my Apple TV 4KHD seems to offer more options now that it is 
connected to the new television.  My imagination?

Subject: Apple VoiceOver and Google TalkBack Screen Reader on the Same 
Television, Not Bad; Not Bad at All

Hello Everyone,

At approximately 6:18 PM, while eating dinner, the video output of my beloved 
off-brand 42-inch television gave up the ghost.  That's right, it just died.  
The sound was fine, however.  It was 12 years and 2 months old.
May it rest in piece.  (smile).

I went over to my local Best Buy and was amazed to discover the number of big 
screen televisions available for less than $200.  Interestingly, all of them 
were off-bands and offered the bare minimum hardware connectivity options.

It took me less than 15 minutes to decide on a Sony X85K Smart TV for several 
reasons not the least of which being that it has an ethernet port which allows 
one to instantly connect to the web without having to configure and disclose 
one's WIfI information.  This means that one can instantly disconnect the set 
from the web by merely disconnecting the cable.

A great many things have changed in accessible television technology since I 
last purchased a television.  So you can imagine how delighted I was to 
discover that this unit offers both Google Talkback and the Google TTS Screen 
Reader, as separate options, that make the set 100% accessible.

Without needing to first connect the set to the web, I was able to enable the

RE: Recording Google Meet?

2022-11-13 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Fazil,

I just did a Google search for "Recording a Google Meet session in iOS" and 
here is what the featured snippet from the web (the first result) showed:

Featured snippet from the web
Start and stop a recording
1. Start or Join a meeting in Google Meet.
2. At the bottom right, click Activities. Recording.
3. Click Start recording.
4. In the window that opens, click Start.
5. Wait for the recording to start. ...
6. To stop a recording, click Activities Recording. ...
7. In the window that opens, click Stop recording.

This is followed by a more detailed help article:
Record a video meeting - Google Meet 
Help

After reading the more detailed article it would seem that only certain people 
can record and that recording can only be done from a computer. It would seem 
that somebody who simply joins the meeting via an iOS app cannot record the 
meeting. Of course if you have a second iOS device you could record the audio 
from the meeting simply by starting a recording in the Voice Memo app or any 
other audio recording app you may use or you could set up an iPhone on a small 
tripod facing a computer screen or iPad screen and start a video and this way 
record both the other screen and the audio similar to how you could put a 
regular phone call on speakerphone and record with a second device.

Many modern smart TV's can output through their external speakers and via 
Bluetooth at the same time so you can have a Bluetooth headset connected and 
turn it on when you want.

I quickly connected my beloved Apple TV to the new set and I can enjoy both the 
Google TTS and VoiceOver without having to disable either.  Just as with Apple 
TV, the Google screen reader has a shortcut key button so one can quickly 
enable and disable the Android OS accessibility feature of choice.

The cost of the set was approximately $600.

Once the screen reader has been enabled, the set is wonderfully accessible to 
the blind and low vision.  However, in my opinion, sighted assistance is 
definitely needed to enable the screen reader, out of the box.

Apple VoiceOver and Google TalkBack Screen Reader on the Same television, Not

Without needing to first connect the set to the web, I was able to enable the 
unit's Google screen reader and configure the seemingly endless OS options.

I quickly connected my beloved Apple TV to the new set and I can enjoy both the 
Google TTS and VoiceOver without having to disable either.  Just as with Apple 
TV, the Google screen reader has a shortcut key button so one can quickly 
enable and disable the Android OS accessibility feature of choice.

The cost of the set was approximately $600.

Once the screen reader has been enabled, the set is wonderfully accessible to 
the blind and low vision.

Re: How to delete an ap from my IPHONE

2022-11-13 Thread Anna Dresner
Hi Dan,

Go to any Home Screen, touch an app, flick up or down to edit Mode, and 
double-tap. Now find the app you want to move. Flick down to the Drag option 
and double-tap. Touch an app or folder that you want to be to its left or 
right. Then flick down until you get to the Drop option you want, and 
double-tap. Edit mode will close a few seconds later, or you can do the Home 
gesture or press the Home button to exit.

Best,
Anna

What can I do about "Haptic touch"?

2022-11-13 Thread 'Sandy Tomkins' via VIPhone
Hi,

After a long time of suffering with 3d touch on my old iPhone 8, I managed 
to turn it off, but now, on my 14 Pro, I have Haptic touch, which I don't seem 
to be able to turn off. I find it affects my typing when using the onboard 
keyboard! Can anyone offer advice?

Thanks, Sandy.

RE: LiDAR.

2022-11-13 Thread Malcolm Parfitt
Hello,

 

Try the following to detect and describe more objects.

 

With Magnifier running, double tap the End button to turn detection off.

 

Navigate to the Settings button and double tap it.

 

>From the dialog that appears find Settings again and double tap.

 

You should be in another screen read out as Customise Controls.

 

Swipe down or navigate by heading until you get to Detectors.

 

There will be three buttons in here:

 

People Detection, Door Detection and Image descriptions.

 

Double tap each in turn and under the heading Feedback make sure Speech is 
turned on to enable it for each of the detection methods.

 

You can also enable feedback with Sound and Haptics as well as Speech.

 

Hope this helps.

Carolyn,

What app are you using?

 

Tha tis about all the Magnifier does that is built-in.

 

Try Seeing AI’s World channel or the Super Lidar app from the folks who make 
SuperSense.

I have it set up on my new pretty purple 14 Pro, but I think I must have to do 
more stuff. It will tell me door or person, but nothing else right now.
