Apple Watch Issues
Hi, I am experiencing an issue with my 38 mm Apple Watch. When I press the screen to read the time it sometimes makes the click sound when waking but does not speak the time. Any of you who own a watch can you please let me know either way. And also which size watch you bought? I have polled two 38 mm owners and a 42 mm owner and it appears that only those of us who bought the 32 mm are experiencing the issue. I would like a larger data set to provide to Apple.

Re: Experience with Nest Thermostat app accessibility
Brad, The app is free to install. I installed and played with it earlier this year. It pretty much sucked. I contacted them about it and got quite a rude reply. Essentially they told me that they had no plans to address accessibility. I would suggest that you install the app and create an account to determine if any changes have been made over the past few iterations and determine for yourself.

Re: Anyone else having trouble downloading Voice Dream Reader update?
HI, I have seen this issue on my phone before. When it occurs I just go to the app and attempt to open it. In other words, just double tap on the app and the download will start. Give it a shot.

When I open the app, it tells me it cannot be downloaded at this time, and to try again later. I have tried syncing my phone, but this has not helped.

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
James, Actually it's fully accessible and does exactly what it claims to do. The only information it gives is the current temp and the high for the next five days. It's a minimal app. No clutter. You want more info go use weather bug or some other app that goes in depth. You want minimalist then Conditions is for you.

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant

Re: Summary of Seeing Eye app presentation at CSUN
See, that's where I differ from you. I do not and will not subscribe to such a service. Paid services such as Serious, Pandora and other subscription based services are, in my opinion, a waste of money. One of the reasons I chose 1password over Lastpass was because of this model. I own 1password and if I choose not to upgrade in the future I have that right. Lastpass is subscription based and unless I continue to pay them for the rest of my life I loose access to the service. Same thing with this Sendero product. unless I pay them to access their system or if they go out of business my investment is lost. No thanks. I have not seen or heard anything about a APH solution but will surely be looking at it over Sendero if it's a one off purchase with paid map updates. Again, these are just my opinions and how I personally choose to spend my hard earned cash. I would hope that common sense would prevail with Mr. may and they rethink their position.

Re: A couple of apps that are fully VO compliant
Krister, I agree, sort of. Yes the built in Calendar app is accessible. But no it does not have a week view. It only has list, day and month. And when in month it only tells you that you have something scheduled on a particular day, not what is scheduled. I like the VO Calendar app as I can get a lot of data about my week very quickly. By just running my thumb down the screen I can hear all the appointments that I have scheduled for that week. Do I not like the higher price of the app? Sure I don't. Again it's one of these blind specific apps that only have a niche with our kind. The reason I chose to buy this one was because of the amount of time I will save with it. I consider it to be worth the return on investment by the time it will save me not having to spend working through the regular calendar app. Time is money after all.

Re: Summary of Seeing Eye app presentation at CSUN
John, Exactly. You bought a device, it had maps on it. You can now choose to upgrade or not to upgrade those maps on the device when they become available. If you do not choose to upgrade the device will continue to work the way it was sold to you. Now I buy a device, lets call it an iPhone. I then purchase an app called Seeing Eye from a company called Sendero. I pay $100 for the app. time goes by. Lets say for the sake of argument that its 3 years later. In the interim I have lost my job, the stock market has crashed and the bank has taken my house back. I have a job interview and want to use this app to find my way to it. I turn it on and low and behold they want another $100 in order for me to use it. In other words I have rented the app for 3 years and now its useless to me. To my small mind this is not good business. I would go so far as to call it extortion. If I am going to pay that high a price for something I damned well want to own it. I do not know what Garmon is going to do with map updates. Whether they are going to be free or not is besides the point. I bought Navigon. It will work the way it is until I get rid of the device, IOS changes so drasticallyy that it no longer is supported or something else better comes along to replace it. The choice is mine, not theirs. Again, these are my opinions and my thoughts. I by no means condemn those of you who have the money to waste on this type of business plan. I guess I am just a bit more frugal than most.

Re: need an app to take notes
Hi, $20 for a note taking app seems a bit excessive for my tastes. I use an app named Notely for managing my text files in Dropbox. I also use TrunkNotes for creating a personal wiki type document. I can easily create linked pages and using mark down I can format my documents with headings, bold text or any other type of formatting you can think of. It's a great app. And both of these app together cost less than 5 buks.

Re: Seeking Information On Operating Small Jawbone Jambox
Hi, The 3 buttons on the top are as follows; the plus button is to increase the volume, the minus button is to decrease the volume, and the circular button is to check the status and answer calls if you are connected to a phone. The slider switch on the side is power on and off as well as to put the unit into pairing mode. You do this by sliding the switch all the way up and holding it there until she tells you that she is in pairing mode. The middle 3.5mm jack in the middle is to hook a source up directly if you don't have or want to use bluetooth. And lastly the micro USB slot is for charging the unit. The other little box you were asking about is a USB wall wart. You plug the USB cable into that and then can charge from a 120V wall outlet. Basically once you are connected with a bluetooth device it acts as the speaker. If you are connected to a phone via bluetooth you can mute the call by pressing the plus and minus keys at the same time. You can hang up the call by pushing the round button twice and redialing the last call the same way if not connected to a call. There is one other feature that I have figured out that I have no idea what it's for. If you hold all three buttons down at the same time you will get some sort of a sound check. That's all I have been able to figure out so far. Hope that helps.

Re: problem of actions taking focus
Kevin, No I am not having this issue. I understand that when I am in a list of messages or emails that the rotor will automatically change to the Action feature. I quite like this as I no longer have to fuss with the rotor and do not have to go into the edit screen to delete messages. I quite like this feature. I have noticed that if I have my rotor set to vertical navigation it does not default to the Action item though. Pisses me off when this happens and I am looking to quickly delete a few spam messages or whatever. I guess it comes down to personal preference but I love this addition to the rotor myself.

Re: Big Ben
Hi, Ok since I see that it is actually a professional recording I have decided to try it. I have been wanting an actual clock with chimes for a while now. A couple of questions about the app though. I assume that you have to have it launched in order for it to chime? I also am wondering if it works while backgrounded. I ask because after I installed and launch I was expecting it to chime on the hour while it was backgrounded and it didn't. Am waiting to see what happens on the half hour. I will admit that after not chiming the hour I turned on the 15 minute chime and it went off at the quarter hour as expected.

Now you can get the time of day in style with a fully functional miniaturised Big Ben on your iPhone or iPad. Britannia rules. A throwback to a more innocent time. Back in the 1980s, an idealistic young developer with too much time on his hands created a revolutionary program for the fledgling Apple Macintosh platform. It simulated a famous Westminster clock tower in 256 glorious shades of grey. Those being simpler days, the Mac community gasped in awe at this ticking, tocking, bonging marvel and it was greeted with a level of enthusiasm not seen since the invention of penicillin. The developer's name was Riccardo Ettore and the software was snappily titled Big Ben . Today, we're pleased to offer you a revamped, rather more colourful incarnation - updated for the 21st century and ported to a magical device that's considerably easier to carry around than a Macintosh SE 30. Big Ben for iOS puts one of London's most cherished timekeeping landmarks right in your pocket, replete with authentic Westminster chimes that ring out on the hour, on the half hour and on the quarter hour. That's not all: if you enjoy tweaking things to your liking, you'll be pleased to learn we included some additional options. You can switch on a digital display and / or a hand that ticks away the seconds - features that they neglected to include when they built the real McCoy that's towered over the houses of parliament for the past 150 years.

Re: Table Index in iOS 6 with Voiceover turned on
Frank, Actually you have to turn your rotor to Adjust Value, but yes I can force this issue. I say that I can force this issue because when I go into contacts and select the index my rotor automatically switches to adjust value. But if I turn the rotor to another setting and then reselect the index it appears that the rotor does not switch back to adjust value automatically. I will call this one in as well. I don't know if you tried to change the rotor to headings and navigate that way, but if you do you will soon see that it is FUBAR as well.

Re: Aluminum versus Glass iPHone, Just a Comment
Mark, I am just wondering if you actually feel this way or just wanted to start a topic of conversation. In my opinion the 5 beats out the 4s hands down. Having the phone just that little bit lighter is heaven! I really did not think that it would make that much difference, but I was wrong. I will admit that I did purchase a Ballistic case for it as I like to keep my stuff as pristine as possible for the resale value. That said, if you do go naked I think that The new type of glass strips at the top and bottom make a huge difference in how slick the phone is while holding it. As far as quality goes, I think that you are mistaken in your assessment. I have help a S3 and quite frankly it feels like a plastic piece of crap that would break the first time you dropped it. I think that having held the phone for such a short time and noting the weight difference you may have come to the conclusion that it felt cheaper. But after having used mine for the last 3 days I would have to disagree. I think it feels just as well built as the 4S and having the extra ram and boost in cpu was well worth stealing my daughters upgrade! Keith On Oct 1, 2012, at 2:41 PM, M.

Re: Verizon iPhone 5
Hi, The GSM frequencies used in the US version of the CDMA phones, i.e. Verizon and Sprint, are for those outside the US. It's not a true Tri-band World phone. So when you insert a micro sim for either ATT or T-Mobile you are only going to run on their GSM networks and not the LTE network. The LTE radio in the Verizon phone is for their network, not other networks. If you want more detailed information about which chips are being used on which networks I suggest you research them at the Qualcom site or other sites on the web that may have already done the research. I am just suggesting that from what I have read and heard on podcasts like Rob Walshes TII and others that this is the case, so before you go and purchase a verizon phone to use on another network and expect LTE speeds you better do your homework. Keith On Sep 23, 2012, at 12:33 PM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hello Keith, That is surprising since I just listened to the latest Today in iOS Podcast and Rob confirmed that while there was only one iPhone 4S which worked both on CDMA and GSM carriers, there are now once again 3 iPhone 5 models, a CDMA version for Verizon and Sprint and a carrier in Japan and 2 different GSM models, one for ATT, Rogers, Telus and Bell in North America and another one for European, Australian and New Zealand and some Asian carriers. Apparently the difference here is in the LTE and he said there will most likely be another one or 2 iPhone 5 models for China. I don't really understand the whole locking to a carrier thing anyways. After all, if I for example buy a subsidized iPhone from Telus here in Canada where I have to sign up for a 3-year contract to get the full subsidy, why don't they just give me an unlocked phone and sign me up for a 3-year contract. Then if after a year I decide to go to ?Rogers they would just say that I haven't fulfilled my contract and impose a stiff penalty which means I most likely wouldn't do it and even if I did Telus would be paid what I owe them for the phone. After all, I can break the contract now and pay whatever penalty they impose and once I have done this and am off the contract I can ask them for an official unlock.

App to compress mobile data
Hi All, There is a new app in the app store named Snappli that will do video and data compression on the fly. What does this mean? So lets say you go to YouTube and view a 1 meg video. Snappli will compress the incoming video stream to anywhere between 600K and 800K. That's 20 to 40%. Why should you care? Well if you have a data cap of 500 meg or 2 Gig then you can stream 20 to 40% more stuff before reaching your data cap. And here's the best part. It's free! And before you ask, no I don't have the iTunes url. Just search for S N A P P L I in the app store. Have fun Keith -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Fleksy on Android devices
Hi, Quite frankly I will never switch off the platform. First, I have too much invested in the apps that I own and second Apple is the first company to include accessibility into their operating systems at no extra charge. I pay what a sighted person pays and because of this they have a loyal customer here. Fleksy is a nice method of input and I hope that if Apple approaches you with an offer to buy you out I hope that you do so. Otherwise good luck with your trials under Android.

Re: Fleksy on Android devices
This has probably been answered, but I thought I would throw my 2 cents in here anyway. There is such ambiguity between phone manufactures, carriers and google that programmers are forced to alter their code for each version of the operating system they plan on supporting. Not only each version of the OS but each tree within that version. For instance, look at Ice cream sandwich. HTC, Motorola, Samsung and god knows who else all alter the base code for their particular hardware. This means that no version of Ice cream sandwich is the same as what Google released. App developers don't like to work within these types of boundaries. It's much easier to write apps for IOS as no matter what version of the phone you own the base operating system is the same. Just saying'. On Aug 22, 2012, at 2:53 PM, Christopher Chaltain chalt...@gmail.com wrote: I'm curious. What do you mean by seamless integration of software to hardware that Apple is able to supply.

Re: Thermostat with accessible iPhone App
Actually the NEST thermostat was developed by a previous Apple employee/engineer. I can't remember who it was though. But when I first heard about the NEST I downloaded their App and created an account on their Web site. I then contacted them about the inaccessibility of their app. The response I got back was disheartening. They had no interest in my request and have no intention of pursuing the issue. If anyone is interested I can dig up their response, but after hearing that crap from them I am not interested in doing business with them.

Re: reading long texts
Like twitter the carriers have put a limit to the number of characters that one can send via text message. If you exceed this limit then the message gets split into multiple messages. Keith On Jul 30, 2012, at 10:37 PM, James Mannion mannion...@gmail.com wrote: In the messages app it should read the entire message when you touch it. Sometimes it is split up into multiple messages depending on the carrier, but certainly voiceover should read the entire message that is there. How do you know there is more there? Can you read it entirely by setting your rotor to words and flicking down through it? You may need to test that or examine what you are doing to read the message. Can you specifically list the steps you are doing to read the message from the point you are aware there is a message to what you do to read it and what happens? Such as, do you open the messages app and then find the messae thread in the list and double tap that and then find the most recent message going up from the bottom of the screen and single tap that message or flick to it?

Re: Refreash-a-Braille Connection Problem
After plugging it in and removing it a few times I have found that it has become a bit easier to manage. I figured out that once you get it into the slot, using my finger nail works to get it seated just that last little bit. Same goes for disconnecting it. I just use my finger nail to pull it out a bit and then remove it the rest of the way with the cord. I have also tried to use other cables and they pretty much work the same way.

THe connection is not super tight so what I have done to remove it is grab the connector as close to the connecting point as I can and work it out. One suggestion I read about and had not gotten around to trying is adapting a really stiff wire or some piece of material that you can rap tape to the usb cable. THis would provide a firmer section to the cable which makes it easier to maneuver. Although if you have the case I know a lot of folks just leave the cable attached and store it behind the flap of the case when closed.

Re: Kindle books
Yes. You can convert from .mobi extension to .epub extension and import into iBooks. Or if you can get the native epub format you can just import directly into iBooks.

Re: OT: Why Did Apple Create VoiceOver?
Hi, If you go back and read any of the Jobs biographies or watch any of the movies I believe that you will see that although he could be an asshole, Jobs was a visionary. His ideology was the driving force behind total control of the products that Apple created. Universal access was only a part of that ideology. Is there a particular document that exists explaining why they included TTS in their designs? No clue. This is just my conclusions from reading and watching the Jobs phenomenon. Keith On Jun 24, 2012, at 7:32 AM, Craig Werner wrote: Greetings to the list. Over on the vi-kindle email list from freelists.org, a user asked a penetrating question: Why did Apple build accessibility into all of its products? Knowing the answer to this query might prove helpful as blind and visually impaired people work with other companies to make their products more accessible. I have heard that Apple made the iPod accessible because it was looking out for motorists who might be better served by finding music by touch than by diverting their gaze from the road to look at a screen. However, this information is anecdotal. Can anyone point to evidence right from the company as to why VoiceOver was integrated into the Apple line? I'm looking for the facts, not conjecture. smile Since this question is off topic, if you'll email me off list, I'll summarize to the list. Thank you for all help.

Re: Voicebook VO Notice
Hi Ben, Your app has just been deleted from my phone. Had you made the app $1.99 from the start and not gone this route I would have purchased it without reservation. I am sorry that you chose this method of getting payment from your work. Best of Luck, Keith On Jun 22, 2012, at 9:30 PM, Active Information Systems wrote: Hi all… I'm Ben, the developer of the Voicebook VO app. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I need to make everyone aware of an issue. I have been working on an update that will address many of the concerns people have had with refreshing, number of comments, as well as some enhancements. Unfortunately, due to some under-the-weather days and an unforeseen Hardware issue, this release is a bit behind schedule. Being behind schedule, you will soon run into one of the bugs I hoped to fix before it became an issue. However, I will not be able to get the update through Apple's review process and into the store in time. The app will begin prompting you to purchase an upgrade when you with to post your status, like and item, or add a comment. When prompted, the price will not display correctly. The price is $1.99, and $1.99 is what will be charged if you make the purchase, but the screen will show you a mis-formatted string of numbers rather than this price. Please rest assured that only $1.99 is charged if you wish to make the purchase. I'd ask that folks help spread the word about this formatting glitch if and when people mention it. Also, know that you may continue to use the app for free if you are simply reading your newsfeed and related comments. I hope to have the Hardware issue resolved and the app updated soon. After these fixes, I've got some desired new functionality coming down the pick. Please visit www.activeinfosys.com to view the product roadmap. Thanks for your support!

Re: Voicebook VO Notice
Anthony, It's one app. There is not a free version and a paid version. It's fully functional for 30 days and then you have to pay $1.99 to continue to use the functions. Quite frankly I think this is against Apple policy and I will be asking them about this. Here in the states we have laws against bait and switch schemes. Had he offered a totally free version with limited functionality and a fully functional paid version I would not have a problem and would actually have bypassed the free version and purchased the paid version right off. I think that this is sneaky and underhanded behavior and will not support it, no matter how good or helpful the app is. Keith On Jun 23, 2012, at 12:40 PM, Anthony Vece wrote: I hope so.

Re: Voicebook VO Notice
Hi, Nowhere in the description on the app store did he indicate that there was limited functionality with in app purchases to enable additional functionality. It is my own policy not to use apps that adhere to this model. Personally I think it's a form of extortion and I don't play in that sandbox. Set a price for full functionality up front and let me decide if I am willing to pay that price. That is my point. Now on to your point. I reviewed the description in the app store when I purchased the app. Nowhere did it indicate that I was going to eventually have to pay something for what I was downloading. Now after 30 days he posts to this list that this would be happening, and the only reason he posted was because there was a bug in the app that didn't give you the correct price. Had there not been a bug I would have attempted to post something and then been prompted with a popup saying that this functionality no longer worked and if I wanted to use this functionality I would have to pay $1.99 for it. In my book this is extortion. Granted you are thinking that I am a dick and it's only 2 dollars so shut the hell up. But like I said before, had he charged me 2 dollars up front I would not be offended, insulted and disgusted. I think that our society has left principles behind, but I am old enough to have been raised by a generation that valued them and I intend to hold to mine. You and everyone do what you feel you must, me I deleted the app and am informing Apple of this behavior. If it meets there criteria then so be it. Don't think for a second that I would not and have not done this to other developers. If not for our voices then how can they know when there is a problem. Ben, should you decide to make a limited free version and a paid full featured version available on the app store I would be glad to purchase it. I really do like the app and wish you well.

Re: Voicebook VO Notice
Mike, Again, apparently you don't read very well. As I said in my previous posts had he placed the price at $1.99 or $4.99 up front I would probably have bought it. If he puts a free limited version and a paid full version in the store I would buy the paid version. Your assumption that I am bitching about it costing money is totally and utterly off base. Before you go throwing the blind card I suggest that you digest what the person is attempting to impart. I have and will continue to support apps that are created for our community. Your assertion that I am one of those blinds who believe that everything for blind consumption should be handed to us without cost is incorrect and quite frankly offensive. My intent in voicing my opinion this morning was to indicate to Ben that I think he made a mistake in the way he implemented his pricing model and maybe that he should possibly rethink it, not to get into a pissing match with you or anyone else.

The next time something is free we will make sure it is totally free for you. We will ensure that everything you buy s free also. My guess is if it would have been $1.99 up front you would have complained about the fact that it did not have all the features you wanted and then demanded a refund. Some time you can not make everyone happy. I leanred that while working and I see it is true here too. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Keith Watson Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2012 9:20 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Voicebook VO Notice Apparently you don't read very well.

It is my own policy not to use apps that adhere to this model. Personally I think it's a form of extortion and I don't play in that sandbox. Set a price for full functionality up front and let me decide if I am willing to pay that price. That is my point. Now on to your point. I reviewed the description in the app store when I purchased the app. Nowhere did it indicate that I was going to eventually have to pay something for what I was downloading. Now after 30 days he posts to this list that this would be happening, and the only reason he posted was because there was a bug in the app that didn't give you the correct price. Had there not been a bug I would have attempted to post something and then been prompted with a popup saying that this functionality no longer worked and if I wanted to use this functionality I would have to pay $1.99 for it. In my book this is extortion. Granted you are thinking that I am a dick and it's only 2 dollars so shut the hell up. But like I said before, had he charged me 2 dollars up front I would not be offended, insulted and disgusted. I think that our society has left principles behind, but I am old enough to have been raised by a generation that valued them and I intend to hold to mine. You and everyone do what you feel you must, me I deleted the app and am informing Apple of this behavior. If it meets there criteria then so be it. Don't think for a second that I would not and have not done this to other developers. If not for our voices then how can they know when there is a problem. Ben, should you decide to make a limited free version and a paid full featured version available on the app store I would be glad to purchase it. I really do like the app and wish you well. Keith On Jun 24, 2012, at 9:29 AM, Matthew Campbell wrote: Hi there. Hold on, slow down, and take a deep breath. This app does have limited functionality. It states this quite clearly in the email Ben sent to the list. It says that you can read but not post. This is clearly you're limited functionality. Also, you are not being forced to pay any money if you just want to read posts. The only reason you pay is to post and comment. Once again, I urge you to read the email carefully, and you'll see what I've just spent time spelling out for you. Kind regards, Matthew Campbell.

Re: email on my iPhone
Hi, If you are setting up your gmail account through the default gmail service on the iPhone I would suggest that you change to other and set it up as imap. Or you can use the Exchange option to connect. I switched from imap to Exchange as soon as they offered it and have had no issues since.

Directions and Bus Route Information App
Hi all, I was listening to iPad Today and came across an app called Hop Stop. It's mostly accessible and very useable. So far I have played with it enough to get walking directions from my house to the grocery store up the street and walking/bus directions from my house to work. I haven't played with it more than that, but it does a good job for what it is. There are no GPS functions in the app. It's strictly informational. And best of all it's FREE. Enjoy, Keith -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group. To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/.

Re: Status Item
It's called trickle charging and it does not quite meet the threshold that trips the status bar icon. Keith On May 19, 2012, at 7:53 PM, Scott Howell wrote: iPads require 10 watts and the USB port on a computer only delivers five watts. However, apparently it is possible for the iPad to charge, but very slowly. This of course is not the most effective or recommended way to charge the iPad.

Re: ping
All depends on your needs. I would suggest turning it off as a lot of hackers will ping blocks of ip's to get a base for starting port scans. Mines off.
