Have you tried making it apart of your wigit? then you can have it on your 
main home screen and have quick access to it.  Or place it in your doc.

  Hello Dennis and All,

  Thank you for this information about the audio!  I think I recently jinxed 
myself, when I told you all, the Weatherology worked fine for me, because 
now when I tell Siri to read my weather forecast from my Weatherology App, 
she replies by saying I don’t have a  app by that name!  Well, it was nice 
when it worked for the few days!  I also went in to the settings, and 
enabled the app to automatically read the forecast as soon as I open the 
app, and some times, that works and some times it doesn’t!  I also noticed 
if I tap on the play button to read out loud the current forecast, it says 
the current  temperature is 66 degrees, but when I just read the forecast 
without the audio feature, it reads the current temperature is 64 degrees. 
Although, so far, I am still getting weather alerts.  Does any one know how 
I can check the current humidity from the app? I’ve searched and searched in 
the settings, but just can’t find it.



  Thank you all so much, as it is greatly appreciated!



  Janet.

  When you go in to the settings of the Weatherology app, do you double tap 
on the play button? If so, does the app then read?

Julie,

Are you asking Siri to read, read my Weather forecast from my 
Weatherology ap, if so, what does she say? This app does need some work, as 
it can be a little flaky though!

Normally, I have no issues with Siri commands, but since the 
developer was able to duplicate the issue, you are very lucky to get it to 
work consistently when the developer can't, .

Wel, if I knew the steps, I'd be glad to share them. My guess is that you could 
go into the computer bluetooth settings, and remove the phone there. But that 
is a guess. '

 About using Phone Link with Jaws
 Phone Link for Windows seems to remember where you last were in the

 So, if you exit the app while on Messages, focus will be on the New

 If you were on the Calls tab, it will start with your call history.

 The focus with Jaws lands on the End Call button, or if your phone is

Subject: My Favorite KINDLE APP FEATURE AND A BOOK RECOMMENDATION


Hello All,

I think I’ve mentioned this in a previous post but one aspect of Kindle books 
that I have been using more and more, is the feature to seamlessly switch 
between the live narration of a title and the text of that same title, directly 
from within the Kindle app.

If you have not yet explored this feature of the Kindle app, give it a try.  I 
think you will be pleased.

I recently started reading one of Stephen King’s latest novels called Fairy 
Tale.  This is not a horror story.  If anything, it is a fairy tale for adults.

I strongly recommend that you give this book a try because never in my adult 
life have I ever come across a mainstream story in which people with real-life 
disabilities are portrayed in such heroic and equal measure as their 
non-disabled counterparts.

I am about 50% through the story.  Up to this point, other than some slight 
profanity, there are no descriptions of sex or any quote, adult, quote, content.

There is a long history as to why Stephen King possesses the ability to write 
about people with disabilities in such exciting and yet realistic pros but I’ll 
let you discover the answer to that, on your own, if you so choose.

It is so very refreshing to become immersed in a story where people with 
disabilities are treated as equals and not as people who have super human 
powers who can, for example, in the case of a blind person, distinguish someone 
across a room by the rhythm of his heartbeat and respiration rate.  I’ve 
actually had highly educated professionals, ask me if such a thing is true 
based on something they read about on the net or saw in some movie.

Regardless of whatever book you choose, happy reading.

Mark

Weatherology Mobile, LLC., free


I had tried this app some years ago. They have been udpating it, and now it 
works well with VoiceOver, at least for the forecast info. IN the 7.9 version, 
in settings, if you double tap on details instead of the simple forecast, it

Hi all.  I just downloaded the weatherology app and am very pleased 
with it.  Does anyone know if there is a severe weather alert on it.  
I haven’t found one.  Thanks.


God bless!

Thanks to Dennis Long for recommending this app.

I have added its details to my web site.  I'm copying what I put
on my site below which includes the link to the app store.


  Weatherology Mobile, LLC., free

I had tried this app some years ago. They have been udpating it,
and now it works well with VoiceOver, at least for the forecast
info. IN the 7.9 version, in settings, if you double tap on
details instead of the simple forecast, it doesn't say selected,
but it is. That should be fixed in the next update. Their customer
support is excellent!

Description from the app store:
The first weather app that fully integrates into your home and car
with real-time audio weather reports and emergency weather
notifications; personalized for you.
We take weather to another level.
Our patented technology delivers real-time audio weather reports
to your location.
It's voice-activated: Ask Weatherology for the latest forecast.
At home. In your car. On your phone.
It's real-time. With up-to-the-minute weather updates including
the latest watches, warnings, advisories, and bulletins. We alert
you with relevant weather notifications to keep you informed.
It's real people, not voice simulation: Select your favorite
weather talent, and they provide real-time weather reports on demand.
It's accurate and personalized for your location.
The technology is new, but the Weatherology team has been around
for 34 years. We have contributed to more award-winning local
weather broadcasts than our largest competitors combined.
Apple CarPlay audio apps must be voice-activated and offer audio
capabilities only, which is exactly what our app does. With the

RE: Weatherology iOS app

[janet gross]

Hello Dennis and All,
Thank you for this information about the audio!  I think I recently jinxed 
myself, when I told you all, the Weatherology worked fine for me, because now 
when I tell Siri to read my weather forecast from my Weatherology App, she 
replies by saying I don’t have a  app by that name!  Well, it was nice when it 
worked for the few days!  I also went in to the settings, and enabled the app 
to automatically read the forecast as soon as I open the app, and some times, 
that works and some times it doesn’t!  I also noticed if I tap on the play 
button to read out loud the current forecast, it says the current  temperature 
is 66 degrees, but when I just read the forecast without the audio feature, it 
reads the current temperature is 64 degrees.  Although, so far, I am still 
getting weather alerts.  Does any one know how I can check the current humidity 
from the app? I’ve searched and searched in the settings, but just can’t find 
it.

Thank you all so much, as it is greatly appreciated!

Janet.

RE: Phone Link for Windows 11

[Christopher Chaltain]

I'm running it, and it's not causing any problems with JAWS. In addition to 
Richard's excellent notes below, you can also use it to read the notifications 
on your phone and get these notifications in Windows. It seems like the 
notifications panel is always there, so you'll get to it by tabbing around. You 
can also go into your Windows settings and turn on or off notifications for 
specific apps on your phone. For example, I don't need mail or calendar 
notifications from my phone on my PC since I already get those notifications 
from my Windows applications.

Phone Link for Windows with JAWS

Phone Link is a service in Windows 11 that allows you to connect your smart 
phone over bluetooth so you can use your computer for taking/making calls as 
well as reading/sending text messages.  It is available for both Android and 
iOS.  A link to the Microsoft page concerning Phone Link is at the end.
The app is called Link to Windows.

I don't have it all figured out, but here is a start.

Phone Link for Windows seems to remember where you last were in the program.
So, if you exit the app while on Messages, focus will be on the New Message 
button when you start it again.
If you were on the Calls tab, it will start with your call history.

I left Phone Link on messages, so when I launched it, Jaws speech history shows:
SplashScreen loading
Phone Link
New message Button

If I shift tab from the New Message button, I hear:

Secondary Features Settings. No unread items Tab 1 of 1 Alt followed by S

Shift+tab again and hear:
Features Messages. No unread items Tab 1 of 2 Alt followed by 1

Then right arrow once and hear:
Calls. No unread items Tab 2 of 2 Alt followed by 2

Now, If you hit spacebar when on Messages and tab you get:

Secondary Features Settings. No unread items Tab 1 of 1 Alt followed by S Tab 
again:

Tab again:

Keep tabbing and you get info about your phone, etc.

When I am on my phone info in Phone Link and press the hotkey for calls, Alt+2 
I hear:

You can then search your contacts.

If I am in the Search your Contacts and for example type Fred: I get this:

If I hit enter on that number I hear:

Call Dialed number ( 5 0 3 ) 8 7 2 - 3 3 0 0 Button If I hit enter again, I 
call that number from my computer using my phone.
The focus with Jaws lands on the End Call button, or if your phone is handy you 
can do the standard two finger double tap to hang up.

If you are on the messages tab, New Message Button and hit spacebar or enter, 
you land in the to field.
If I use the above example and type Fred I get the same results, and if I hit 
enter, I am in an edit box to type my text message.
Note, As far as I can tell, you cannot enter hard returns/new lines in a text 
message, when you hit enter, it sends the message.

RE: Weatherology iOS app

[Richard Turner]

Ell, when I open the Watch app on the iPhone, and go to the end of the items 
there is an option to install Weatherology on the Watch, so I suspect it does.  
I never use weather stuff on my watch because of the battery usage.

Hi all.  I just downloaded the weatherology app and am very pleased with it.  
Does anyone know if there is a severe weather alert on it.  I haven’t found 
one.  Thanks.

Thanks to Dennis Long for recommending this app.

I have added its details to my web site.  I'm copying what I put on my site 
below which includes the link to the app store.


Weatherology Mobile, LLC., free


I had tried this app some years ago. They have been udpating it, and now it 
works well with VoiceOver, at least for the forecast info. IN the 7.9 version, 
in settings, if you double tap on details instead of the simple forecast, it 
doesn't say selected, but it is. That should be fixed in the next update. Their 
customer support is excellent!

Subject: My Favorite KINDLE APP FEATURE AND A BOOK RECOMMENDATION

 

Hello All,

I think I’ve mentioned this in a previous post but one aspect of Kindle books 
that I have been using more and more, is the feature to seamlessly switch 
between the live narration of a title and the text of that same title, directly 
from within the Kindle app.

If you have not yet explored this feature of the Kindle app, give it a try.  I 
think you will be pleased.

I recently started reading one of Stephen King’s latest novels called Fairy 
Tale.  This is not a horror story.  If anything, it is a fairy tale for adults. 
 

I strongly recommend that you give this book a try because never in my adult 
life have I ever come across a mainstream story in which people with real-life 
disabilities are portrayed in such heroic and equal measure as their 
non-disabled counterparts.  

I am about 50% through the story.  Up to this point, other than some slight 
profanity, there are no descriptions of sex or any quote, adult, quote, content.

There is a long history as to why Stephen King possesses the ability to write 
about people with disabilities in such exciting and yet realistic pros but I’ll 
let you discover the answer to that, on your own, if you so choose.

It is so very refreshing to become immersed in a story where people with 
disabilities are treated as equals and not as people who have super human 
powers who can, for example, in the case of a blind person, distinguish someone 
across a room by the rhythm of his heartbeat and respiration rate.  I’ve 
actually had highly educated professionals, ask me if such a thing is true 
based on something they read about on the net or saw in some movie.

Regardless of whatever book you choose, happy reading.

Mark

RE: Weatherology iOS app

[Richard Turner]

Yes.

Double tap the settings button.

Then, if you have your location set as a favorite, double tap on notifications. 
 I don't know what will be there if you don't have a favorite, but in my case, 
after double tapping on notifications, each favorite has a button.  Double tap 
the one you want and you get options:

Allow notifications, on or off, obviously you want on.

Then a heading labeled, Weatherology Alerts.

They are:

Extreme Cold

Extreme Heat

Flodding

Rainfall

Severe Weather

Snowfall

Sporting Event

Tropical

Then a heading for National Weather Service NWS alerts

Advisory

Severe Weather

 

That's it.

After toggling on or off the ones you want, be sure to double tap the Back 
button at the top.

Then, there may be a couple back buttons and when on the settings main screen, 
a close button.

 

HTH,

RE: How do I send messages? Make phone calls in view contacts in the link to phone app

[Richard Turner]

I decided to write up some instructions for using Phone Link for Windows.

About using Phone Link with Jaws
Phone Link for Windows seems to remember where you last were in the program.
So, if you exit the app while on Messages, focus will be on the New Message 
button when you start it again.
If you were on the Calls tab, it will start with your call history.

I left Phone Link on messages, so when I launched it, Jaws speech history shows:
SplashScreen loading
Phone Link
New message Button

If I shift tab from the New Message button, I hear:
Features
Secondary Features Settings. No unread items Tab 1 of 1 Alt followed by S

Shift+tab again and hear:
Features Messages. No unread items Tab 1 of 2 Alt followed by 1

Then right arrow once and hear:
Calls. No unread items Tab 2 of 2 Alt followed by 2

Now, If you hit spacebar when on Messages and tab you get:
Features Messages. No unread items Tab 1 of 2 Alt followed by 1
Tab again to:
Secondary Features Settings. No unread items Tab 1 of 1 Alt followed by S
Tab again:
New message Button
Tab again:
Conversations List box Recent Conversation with Richard Turner. Message 
preview. Testing. 1 of 1
Tab:
Learn more about messages Button
Keep tabbing and you get info about your phone, etc.

When I am on my phone info in Phone Link and press the hotkey for calls, Alt+2 
I hear:
Call History
Recent calls List box
Carol Davies, Incoming, ?12?-?Aug?-?23 at ?8?:?25? ?PM
If I tab then, I hear:
Dialer Search your contacts Edit
You can then search your contacts.
If you keep tabbing without searching, you hear:

Keypad
1 Button
2 Button
3 Button
4 Button
5 Button
6 Button
7 Button
8 Button
9 Button
* Button
0 Button
# Button

If I am in the Search your Contacts and for example type Fred: I get this:
2 results.  Suggestions: 2, fred
Fred Meyer Hawthorne. 5 0 3 8 7 2 3 3 0 0 . Work

If I hit enter on that number I hear:

Call Dialed number ( 5 0 3 ) 8 7 2 - 3 3 0 0 Button
If I hit enter again, I call that number from my computer using my phone.
The focus with Jaws lands on the End Call button, or if your phone is handy you 
can do the standard two finger double tap to hang up.

If you are on the messages tab, New Message Button and hit spacebar or enter, 
you land in the to field.
If I use the above example and type Fred
I get the same results, and if I hit enter, I am in an edit box to type my text 
message.
Note, As far as I can tell, you cannot enter hard returns/new lines in a text 
message, when you hit enter, it sends the message.

I hope that is helpful,





Richard, USA.
