Re: KNFB Reader, First Impressions

[Brandon A. Olivares]

I'd like to know this. Is KNFB Reader able to be shared on Family Share?

 I just tried to share K in F be reader with someone on my family share plan. 
 I went to my purchases, and went under my name and then downloaded it to that 
 person's device. It's been said that this app is no longer shared with you 
 and you must purchase it from the app store.I would have gone to family share 
 purchases, but the button is dimmed. Can anybody tell me how I can share this 
 app?
 
 Thanks

 Hi Deb, it's just another app in this regard and it is also enabled for the

 Does the KNFB Reader have a limited number of installs or is it
 available to all phones on the account? Asking because I do plan to
 upgrade but it will be a few weeks. I'd buy it now and use it on my 5S
 if it has unlimited installations as most do.

 Hello Jonathan,
 
 Your first impressions of the KNFB app is encouraging. At this time, I'm
 going to have to be on the sidelines until I decide on which iPhone 6 I
 will purchase. This is my question to this thread. For those who invest
 in the KNFB Reader app and have purchased either an iPhone 6 or 6 plus,
 it would be terrific to post on the accuracy of the app in comparison to
 the phone that they originally installed the app on. Also, if one can
 also comment on the use of the app with the 6 plus in particular because
 of the optical stabilization. ANOTHER person read my mind regarding if
 your use of the app was with the StandScan or with some other type of
 stand.
 
 Thanks so much for your first impressions.
 
 Best,
 Eileen

 Subject: KNFB Reader, First Impressions
 
 I've spent the last half hour or so playing with KNFB Reader on my
 iPhone 5s. I couldn't be more impressed.
 I read my son's school report, which it got word perfect even when it
 came to reading tables. It read a glossy pizza menu fairly well. It
 read the page of a book perfectly, and it read a letter I received in
 the mail. The feedback one gets via vibration to line up the picture
 is incredibly helpful. You can use the field of view report if you
 need to for even more information about camera positioning and angle.
 And, it's fast. Very fast, between taking a picture and getting
 speech.
 It's early days but this has actually exceeded my expectations.
 Certainly it's possible to use other apps, but 

Sharing iTunes Match

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hello,

I just upgraded to iOS8. Apple says you can share ongoing subscriptions, such 
as iTunes match. How would I do this? My wife wants to use iTunes Match, but 
when I go to the iTunes screen in her settings, it just gives the option to 
subscribe. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: the 16 or the 64G?

I've been debating between the ATT Next or just getting a two-year contract. I

 OK, so I guess that just means you pay for the phone in one year with
 additional payments instead of having a regular 2-year contract without
 additional payments after which time the phone is also yours.
 Do you then not pay $199, $299 or whatever the initial payment is at all?

 With the next plan from ATT, you don't have to keep getting a new phone.
 Once you have paid for your phone, your bill goes back to normal.  That is
 what I was told anyway, and is the reason I went with that plan for this
 phone.

 Plans like ATT Next and whatever they are called from other carriers are
 rip-offs and they are simply designed to lock people in to getting a new
 phone every year and, of course, paying the premium price for it.

 I think it used to be $199, $299, and $399 on contract in the states for the
 
 3 storage options. That $50 a month plan with Sprint looks worth jumping
 back in and getting the 64 gig iPhone 6. The big question is whether to do
 easy pay, or to do their rental thing for iPhone for Life.

 I think its an overall trend with smartphones. There are lots of
 success Androy phone model, no longer give you te option of 32gb. They
 either give you the 16gb or 64gb (discount Samsung).
 
 As far as why it is the case, i'm not sure. I thought it will make
 more sense for apple to have 32gb, 64gb and 128gb. But who knows what
 behind the brain of it. Maybe, we Apple might want to retain the 32gb
 soully for iPads.

 Hi,
 
 One thing that nobody has mentioned so far is that in the UK at least,
 the price for the 64GB 6 is the same as the 32GB 5S when it was
 released. I was a bit annoyed about having to go for the 64GB 6 at
 first, but when I found out that its price was inline with the
 previous 32GB price it didn't seem as bad. Personally I'd rather Apple
 introduced a cheaper 32GB model instead of simply dropping that
 capacity, but with the 6 pricing, your actually getting more storage
 for your money than you were before.

   Family sharing is so you can see the purchases of another family member

But I was looking at the automatic mode. Can someone explain how this works? 
Does it wait until all four edges are visible? Sometimes it immediately says 
Text Detected and snaps the picture, and other times it just beeps without

KNFB Export Formats

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hello,

I'm looking at the export formats of KNFB Reader. I can only see Plain Text, or 
Formatted Text (HTML). I tried plain text, but all the newlines are removed. 
When I open up the result in TextEdit, it is all one line. HTML works just 
fine, but I don't always want HTML format. Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Batteries and the StandScan Pro: A Question

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Mine had this same issue. A friend of mine fixed it for me. She had to open it 
up and reverse some component inside. It was supposedly a simple fix.

 Hi All,
   I just received my StandScan yesterday and am loving it with KNFBReader! 
 However, I am having issues with the battery pack and was curious if anyone 
 else has had this issue or if yours seems to work fine. Sadly, it could be 
 that I am simply doing something wrong that is really obvious:)! Whenever I 
 put a 9v battery into the pack, it does not want to close if a battery is 
 inside of it, nor does the battery want to hook into place like it normally 
 would in most devices using this type of battery. The pack closes perfectly 
 if no battery is in side. Also, I noticed the following. If the pack is held 
 up so that the switch is at the top and the opening is facing you, the right 
 side battery connection is loose, is this the case for others here? This one 
 may be defective. If so, I am assuming, that you can purchase just a 
 replacement battery pack, correct?
 Have a great day all!

 HI All,
   When using the StandScan Pro, does anyone happen to know which way is 
 recommended to orient everything. In other words, if you have the opening 
 facing you, should the bottom of the iDevice be facing you so that the home 
 button is closest to you and thus the material to-be-scanned have its bottom 
 end sticking out of the stand, or should it be turned 90 degrees so that the 
 thing to be scanned is facing perpendicular to you and the home button is 
 facing to the left or right. I ask this because I was curious if one version

Re: 8.1 Update

Just to clarify about versioning, there are three parts to the version string:

Major.Minor.Patch

8.0 has a major version 8, and a minor version 0, which is the initial release 
of iOS 8. 8.0.1 is the first patch, or bug fix release, of 8.0. 8.1 is the 
first minor version release, of the major version 8, and if/when a bug fix is

 Same as with 8.  I pick up the phone and locked screen is on.  I push the 
 home button and get the two medium pitch beeps.  I say, Send a message to 
 so-and-so.  Possibility 1, it says What do you want to say, and gives 
 the high-pitched beeps.  I say a message with or with punctuation.  It 
 says ok and nothing else.  I don't know if the message is sent or not.
 Possibility 2, I start to say a message and get two low-pitched beeps and 
 have to start all over again.
 Possibility 3, I say the message, it repeats it back and asks whether I 
 want to send.  I say Send it  or yes, and the  send message sound 
 plays.
 These are in order of their likelihood.
 
 Good news of sorts: I actually got to ask Siri the Woodchuck question and 
 after an initially interrupted message, it repeated the whole response 
 after a couple of seconds.  So that's some progress at least on one front.
 Btw, thanks for whatever suggestions you have to offer.

Re: 8.1 Update

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Actually there was never an 8.01 or 8.02. It was 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 as explained 
earlier. The change in the third digit was from patch releases. Now we just got 
a new minor release so it’s 8.1.0.

 Hi there. I think that there is a confusion of what numbers are and which are 
 bigger and which are smaller. The very first release of iOS eight was 8.0 
 which can be thought of as 8.0.0. Then 8.01 came out and then 8.02. Think of 
 01 and zero to like one penny and two pennies. Think of 8.one which is the 
 current version a like a whole dollar. So now you tell me which is bigger. 
 One dollar or one penny?

 Same as with 8.  I pick up the phone and locked screen is on.  I push the 
 home button and get the two medium pitch beeps.  I say, Send a message to 
 so-and-so.  Possibility 1, it says What do you want to say, and gives 
 the high-pitched beeps.  I say a message with or with punctuation.  It says 
 ok and nothing else.  I don't know if the message is sent or not.
 Possibility 2, I start to say a message and get two low-pitched beeps and 
 have to start all over again.
 Possibility 3, I say the message, it repeats it back and asks whether I 
 want to send.  I say Send it  or yes, and the send message sound plays.
 These are in order of their likelihood.
  
 Good news of sorts: I actually got to ask Siri the Woodchuck question and 
 after an initially interrupted message, it repeated the whole response 
 after a couple of seconds.  So that's some progress at least on one front.
 Btw, thanks for whatever suggestions you have to offer.

Re: drop box

 Hi Anna,
 
 I just took a look, and this Dropbox feature works just as you've described 
 it. Try loading a txt, rtf, doc, and other such text related files and 
 reading each of them using the thumb nail full setting--it will not show 
 when turned on--it is a toggle. If the file shows, simply read the screen 
 line by line until you reach the text portion of the file, and you can now 
 navigate normally using left and right swipes or swiping down line by line 
 via rotor Line setting.
 
 Try placing your text file on the same level as your folders within main

 I installed 'dropbox for iPhone' from the store.  It sees my files,
 but doesn't give me a good way to read them.  Sometimes, for a reason
 I don't understand and can't duplicate, it does read the file, flying
 through the whole thing  without stopping for breath.  there is a
 button that toggles between thumbnail and full something, but it
 doesn't seem to make a difference.  I have an .rtf and a .docx that I
 would like to be able to read.  Help says Dropbox reads those, but I
 don't see what to trigger in order to do it.
 
 Any clues would be pounced upon.

Re: Blind Square Questions

[Brandon A. Olivares]

To answer your questions, no it does not give turn-by-turn directions. The 
purpose of BlindSquare is to orient you to what is around you. It will tell you 
what intersections are coming up, what street you are on, and optionally what 
points of interest are around. However, it can do tracking, where it opens up 
the GPS app of your choice, such as Apple Maps.

Honestly depending on what you need it for, I think just using Maps works fine. 
It can now tell you what street you are on, and what intersection is coming up. 
BlindSquare has some more options, but nowadays I find myself just using Maps.

Carrying it in your pocket should work fine.

No, you don’t need to install anything else. It can be helpful to install 
4Square, if you want to check into locations, or create custom points of 
interest, but it’s not necessary.

 1)  The FAQs state that Blind Square does NOT offer turn by turn directions.  
 Does this mean that wen walking, it will not tell me to turn right at the 
 next intersection?  This seems odd
  
 2)  FAQ says that if you carry your device in a vertical position to make

 a front pants pocket.  Will this be a problem?
  
 3)  Do you need to install any other GPS apps in order for Blind Square to 
 work well?  I’ve seen references to Four Square, Googlemaps  Open Street 
 Maps but am confused as to whether you have to have these apps in order for 
 Blind Square to work.
  
 4)  Lastly, what is the price?  I could not find this on the web site.

Re: Audio Defence Game Update Is Awesome!

[Brandon A. Olivares]

It’s basically a shooter game where you shoot various types of zombies. You 
have a few types of weapons, and can get more from the Armery once you build up 
enough coins. Each level is harder than the one before it, and sometimes there 
are other distractions, like car alarms and such.

I’m personally having a lot of fun with it.

 I'd encourage anyone who hasn't been able to start the game to try the 
 update. It came up working right away on my iPod 5G.

Tips for Playing Hanging With Friends

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hello,

I just got this app, and am trying to use it. I’m just not understanding how it 
works. Sometimes it seems to layer dialogs on top of one another, so it’s hard 
to navigate.

When I give a word and the other person is solving it, it doesn’t tell me 
whether they got it right or not. I’m not seeing a way to find this out.

Any tips for playing this game would be appreciated.

Peace,
Brandon

A Dark Room

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hello,

I’ve just been playing the A Dark Room app. I had doubts about it at first, but 
must admit I’ve been quite addicted to it for the last day. The game has a bit 
of a dark theme, but it’s quite enjoyable. I like how the game naturally 
expands as you explore new territories.

Peace,
Brandon

Re: A Dark Room

Tess,

Have you finished the game yet? I just finished it. Kind of disappointed I 
finished it aeady after only two days, but that proves how addicting it was. 
I’ll probably play it again, since I really enjoyed the economic and 
exploration aspects of the game.

Re: A Dark Room

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Tess,

I don’t want to give anything away, but you’ll know when you finish it.

As for the guys who do a lot of damage, do you have steal armor yet? If you 
only have leather or iron armor, then perhaps try not to venture too far away 
from the village at first, because the farther you travel from it, the more 
difficult the enemies will become. Eventually you’ll have other weapons like a 
carbine, grenades, katana, etc, which will make it easier to kill the enemy. 
Also if you have a bola, you can temporarily stun them. I’m not sure for how 
long, because I was always able to kill them before they came out of it— but 
that can be a useful maneuver with some of the tougher ones.

The best advice I can give for this game is that when traveling, make sure 
you’re always within easy traveling distance to an outpost. Anytime you conquer 
a town, city, house, etc, it becomes a friendly outpost where you can refill 
your water and get more meat.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Brandon

World War

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Does anyone here play World War on the iPhone? I just got it yesterday and am 
enjoying it. It’s very accessible, all except for the first screen when you 
open the app for the first time. It can be confusing at first, but it’s not 
hard to figure out.

If you play it, please add my alliance code: SKRQFR

Re: World War

[Brandon A. Olivares]

The basic premise is that you are the general of an army in a country of your 
choosing. You have to deploy your units (infantry, ground, water, air), which 
costs money. You obtain money by completing missions, and winning battles 
against other players. Battles are very simple as far as I can tell: if your 
forces are more powerful than theirs, you win. As you add alliances, you can 
deploy more and more units to use in your battles.

That’s the basics. You can also buy buildings, which give you more defense, or 
an income flow, where you can get so much money per hour for owning the 
building. That helps with being able to pay your units.

Let me know if you have more questions. If anything you might need help getting 
past the first screen. But I just turned off voiceover, and tapped around the 
bottom center.

Re: Ear Monsters

[Brandon A. Olivares]

It’s honestly nothing like Audio Defense. It’s more an arcade-style game where 
you have to kill as many monsters as possible, as well as defusing bombs and 
such. It’s really a fun game, and I recommend it.

 I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they think of the game ear
 monsters? Is it similar to audio defense? If you already own audio defense
 is it worth wild to get ear monsters? Any input would be appreciated.

Selecting Text

[Brandon A. Olivares]

How do you select text on the iPhone? I know how to select all text in an edit 
field, but I just need to select some text in an app, or web page, and copy it.

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: unable to purchase knfb reader due to lack of money somebody gift me please!

[Brandon A. Olivares]

When I first heard about this app, I had to save for two months to be able to 
afford it. Everyone is in different circumstances, some better than others, and 
it was tough seeing others who were just able to plop down $100 like that, but 
I had to be patient. I think it’s beneath our dignity as blind people to beg 
for anything, no matter the culture. An app is not a need; it’s a want. It’s a 
luxury. It’s a great thing to have that makes life easier, but we went for a 
long time without it. It’s better to be financially responsible and save what 
you need until you have enough. Just my $0.02.

Re: Selecting Text

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Can you explain better how this gesture works? It’s not working for me.

 On Dec 25, 2014, at 9:31 PM, Joseph Hudson jhud7...@gmail.com wrote:
 
 Hi, if you're not using a Bluetooth keyboard, dan the gesture is kind of 
 freaky but to select a lot of text you put two fingers together you'll spread 
 them apart and put them together until you have all the text that you want to 
 select, if you're selecting on a keyboard you will do shift down arrow.

Just Used Be My Eyes for The First Time

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Finally had a reason to use Be My Eyes. I wasn’t sure what temperature the 
thermostat was on, so thought I’d try to use the app. Got someone in about a 
minute or so, and had my question answered quickly. It was pretty awesome. 
Seems to be getting more popular, because there are now 112,000 sighted users 
and almost 10,000 blind. I just wanted to talk about my first experience with 
it.

 Not sure if others have seen this app yet, but my attention was just 
 brought to this app today. I know there are many technological solutions 
 out there for us, especially apps on the iPhone. But sometimes you still 
 just need sighted assistance.

Phone Randomly Playing Music

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hello,

I’m having an odd problem on my iPhone 6. I have a set of earphones with a 
built-in microphone and which has the iTunes controls, where if you squeeze the 
mic part of the earphone cord it plays or pauses music. Anyway when I have the 
earphones plugged in, the phone will randomly play music without me touching 
anything. Also sometimes siri will get enabled and I’ll hear the double beep 
that indicates it is listening. Again this is all without me touching anything.

Why could this be happening? It is incredibly inconvenient. I like using 
earphones a lot so no one else hears what I am doing and I can have privacy.

Re: Recommended recording app

[Brandon A. Olivares]

I use Dropvox. It puts my recordings right in Dropbox, so they are available on 
my computer, too. That’s how I record my piano lessons, and it works great for 
me.

 Just tried clear record. The free version and straight away what I didn't

 Anyway I can get it to default to speaker? Also, it didn't even recorded the 
 music I tested it with. I put this down to defaulting to headphone though. If 
 this can't be changed, then it looks like that this app isn't for me. 
 
 Thank you for all the help so far. It's really appreciated.

 Hi all, can anyone recommend a good recording app for the iPhone that is 
 accessible with VoiceOver. 
 
 I an currently using the voice memos app pre installed on the iPhone but an 
 seeking something better. 
 
 With any recommendations, it's got to be able to convert to mp3 and sync 
 across to my Mac because with these recordings I make, I need to be able to 
 send them via email and I've found that sending them all at once in one go 
 from the Mac is by far easier than separately on ios itself. 
 Oh and if the app was to support I cloud drive, well I guess that would 
 make it a bit easier too. 
 
 Thanks in advance for any recommendations that hopefully in due course will 
 be forth coming from this list.

Blindfold Sudoku

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hello,

I’ve been playing with Blindfold Sudoku. However, I’m wondering, what do you 
guys do to keep straight all the numbers that are already used? It’s hard to 
memorize which numbers have been used in that row/column/square. The puzzle 
wasn’t so hard as it was simply to keep it all straight.

Re: Air Hockey question

[Brandon A. Olivares]

I wouldn’t try to play it on tutorial mode. Play against the easiest and 
slowest player, being Dave. It is very easy to win in that case.

This game I find to be very intuitive and realistic. I’m up to Amber, the good 
medium player. Trying to get up to expert soon. :D

Re: Air Hockey question

[Brandon A. Olivares]

It’s all in the user guide. Basically you tap on the screen to place the puck, 
then slide up to hit it.

When the puck is coming towards you, move your finger left and right to line up 
the puck in front of you. When it’s directly in front of you, you’ll hear a 
ding. Then you can swipe up, or upper left or upper right to hit the puck in 
that direction.

That’s really all there is to it.

French Braille on IOS?

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hi,

So I’m learning French, and so as such I’m trying to learn French braille as 
well.

I found a reference for the accented characters, but I notice that there are 
also contractions. Like when I type L by itself, it translates it to “le” (the 
French word for “the”). I noticed quite a few others as well.

However I can’t seem to find a reference for this. Can anyone point me to an 
extensive reference on French braille contractions that work on IOS?

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: French Braille on IOS?

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Salut,

Merci beaucoup. I appreciate your offer.

However I actually just found an app that I think will really help me. It’s 
called Braille Translator (on the Mac, not iPhone). You can type something in 
French (or several other languages) and it’ll translate it into braille. It 
supports French unified grade 2.

So I’m typing in words and phrases that I know and seeing how it translates 
into braille. I’m shocked how many contractions there are.

Using iPhone Microphone While Using AirPods?

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hi,

Is there a way to use the microphone on the iPhone, but while using the AirPods 
to listen to VoiceOver? My wife wants to go live on Facebook, but without 
VoiceOver coming across in the stream, but the AirPods microphone filters sound 
too much to be useful for what she wants to do. Is this possible somehow?

Thanks,
Brandon

Yes, but how do you have the iPhone microphone be used instead of the AirPods 
microphone?

Re: Telling time silently on the watch

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Try a slight pause between the taps, roughly a half second or so. It works for 
me.

Re: siri is nolonger working for a friend of mine

I actually disagree. Often I ask Alexa something that it doesn’t know the 
answer to, but Siri will get the answer without issue. So I’ve always seen Siri 
as more competent than Alexa.

Re: Help and instructions needed to use Duolingo please and thank you.

Just FWIW, I would recommend using it on desktop, not on mobile. The mobile 
version is mostly matching and such, whereas on the desktop web app you have 
the option of needing to actually type in the answer.

Re: Looking for accessible language learning Apps

[Brandon A. Olivares]

I've used Duolingo before, and it is definitely accessible.

No, personally I don't think that Duolingo, by itself, is enough to learn a 
language to fluency. It's always going to require real-life conversation with 
natives of that language. Italki is a great service for that, but I do think 
Duolingo is very useful.

Orbit Writer

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hi,

I've been seeing discussion of the Orbit Reader on the list. This prompted me 
to look up the product as I had never heard of it before.

That's when I discovered the Orbit Writer. I'm wondering if anyone here has 
used it and what your impression of it is? I don't care as much right now about 
having a braille display, but having an easier way to write in braille would be 
useful. Any input or tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brandon

Please let me know about the backspace thing, as I'd think that could get 
annoying.

Re: Orbit Writer

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Can anyone tell me if the orbit writer has any lag? I'd be getting it for my 
wife, who is very fast at typing on a braille keyboard layout.

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Orbit Writer

So what do you recommend then? I just got my wife an orbit writer and I'm a bit 
nervous about this if backspacing is buggy.

Would you be able to tell me how you connect the lanyard? I got one, and I see 
there are two small holes in the front of the Orbit Writer, but can't for the 
life of me figure out how it connects.

Thoughts on Brailliant?

[Brandon A. Olivares]

My wife is looking for a good braille display and we're looking at the 
Brailliant.

She is used to the old Braille Note (the Apex) so is wondering how similar the 
commands are to that.

She wants to be able to use it standalone to cantor at church in particular. I 
know you can load documents on it, right?

Any information or tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Weird Recording Bug

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hey, nice sound quality, and nice voice as well ☺️ Are you just using the 
internal iPhone microphone on that? What iPhone do you have?

I just purchased the Zoom IQ7 and am going to try again with that to see if it 
makes a difference. Will update after I get it Monday.

Re: Weird Recording Bug

[Brandon A. Olivares]

One more question about the Dolby On app.

Is there a way to accessibly check the microphone level and whether it's too 
loud? The documentation says the indicator will turn red if the sound is too 
loud but obviously that's not accessible.

When I tap the microphone details button on the recording screen, under “level 
check” it always says “Your mic is overloading!” Even when there is very little 
sound. Does this happen for you as well?

Thanks,
Brandon

Weird Recording Bug

[Brandon A. Olivares]

So I was recording a video of myself playing the piano. And I noticed that the 
sound sort of cut in and out, or almost like the volume was being adjusted 
throughout the video.

It's hard to describe, but maybe you can tell from the YouTube video:


https://youtu.be/Ki2VyfHlqvU

What exactly is going on here? Is there some way to disable this? I used to get 
really nice sound quality from recording on the iPhone.

This was done in the Camera app.

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Weird Recording Bug

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hey, thanks.

Yeah I'm kind of set on video because I find people connect with that more than 
just audio, and I like posting them on YouTube.

Would an external microphone help matters I wonder? I've been looking at some 
options. But some of them I think redirect audio output so I'm not sure if it'd 
work with VoiceOver.

Yes I have a tripod. It was about 2 feet to my right.

Re: Weird Recording Bug

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Hey, so I tried recording with dolby On and it definitely improves the sound 
quality and there's no clipping, but now I notice a constant mild distortion in 
the background, especially in the quieter sections.

My phone is 3 years old — could it just be that the microphone isn't very good? 
Or is there some setting I should change in the app?

Here's an unlisted video demonstrating the issue: https://youtu.be/Rt5HZrUfPL4

I did have the countdown setting enabled, which the app says automatically 
tries to trim out background noise. Maybe that could be the issue, too?

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Weird Recording Bug

Thanks. I probably just nudged the tripod and it got off-center. I had aligned 
it properly with Aira yesterday but it's easily moved.

I will check into the settings, thanks.

Re: Question Regarding Hot Spot

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Pretty sure she mean that he has data for his phone but not an internet 
connection at home for the computer to use, thus the need for the hotspot.

To answer the question, yes you can use the phone hotspot. You can set it up as 
a wifi connection or as bluetooth. For me as long as the hotspot is enabled, my 
computer always prompts me if I want to connect with it if no other network is 
available.
