Re: seeking tutorial

2024-03-22 Thread Michael Feir
It was writen for iOS 15. I started on an iPhone 10R and finished writing
it on an iPhone 13. I'm now using an iPhone 15 to write the third edition
which will be aimed at iOS 18. I'll likely need a few months to write in
all the new additions Apple throws at us, but I'll publish as soon as
possible. I'm thinking around the end of April 2025. Sooner if I can manage
that.

Hello Viki. Quite a lot of help is out ther regarding Face id. Jonathan
Mosen did a very good podcast demonstrating the process of setting it up
and using it. It would still be found at:
www.livingblindfully.com
Applevis also has lots of resources including at least one podcast episode
and likely much more on the subject. Go to:
www.applevis.com
and search for face id.
There's also my book. I did my best to describe how to hold the iPhone
while seting up and using Face ID. You'll find a link to my book in my
signature below.

Re: I just got a new i phone 14 and have one questiona bout one of the buttons on the case.

2023-11-30 Thread Michael Feir
That has to be the mute and unmute switch. Try moving it up or down if it
won't press. I've had cases that made it a knob you turn. However, I've
never encountered a case that made it a button to press.

Re: Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms

2023-11-30 Thread Michael Feir
Not directly. Since it can be left plugged in, it should be fully charged
when needed. However, it would be possible to use an app like Be My Eyes to
ask a sighted person to look through your phone's camera at the power bank
and find out that way.

2023-11-25 Thread Michael Feir
It shows up here as the first entry when I search for Anker 733. I can't
think of any reason why it wouldn't be available in the US. You could also
look at a comapny called UGreen which produces similar chargers. Anker
certainly isn't the only game in town.

Re: Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms

2023-11-24 Thread Michael Feir
I certainly wouldn't leave my Energrid power bank plugged in all the time.
However, the Anker 733 is designed for that and stops charging the battery
as soon as it's full. It doesn't even get warm. The only thing it won't do
is act as an uninterruptable power supply. You'd have to push a small
button to engage the battery if power failed.

Re: Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms

2023-11-24 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Margaret. I've really come to appreciate the Anker GAN Prime 733
which combines a 1 MAH power bank and wall charger in one handy device.
I leave it plugged in all of the time so I know it'll be full when I need
it. It has folding plug prongs which let you plug it directly into the wall
socket or power bar. It has two USB C ports and a USB A port. You'd also
need a Lightning to USBC cable which Anker makes.
I also have a 2 MAH battery from Energrid. It gives audio beep feedback
and vibrates to let you know when something's connected or when it's
charging. Between those two batteries, I know I'm covered for a good eight
or nine full iPhone charges. That'll see me through around three or four
days. More if I'm conservative.
If you're worried about longer spans of time, there are much bigger power
banks. The two batteries I have are very portable and both will easily fit
in a shoulderbag. Besides the USBC to Lightning cable, I would also suggest
you get a spare USB C to USB C cable. That may be useful for other
accessories like USB headsets, emergency radios or Bluetooth keyboards. You
can always charge other power banks while you have electricity using the
ports in the 733 charger. Hope that helps a bit. Amazon has a slight
discount here in Canada on a number of Anker products. Doubtless, this is
true in the US also. There are a very wide range of other bands and you'll
hopefully hear from people more experienced with those as well.

Re: what are good calendar apps

2023-04-20 Thread Michael Feir
I use an app called Fantastical. The developer has made it very accessible
with VoiceOver and it handles events quite well. Also, it includes any
reminders you create and integrates them into the calendar. Apple treats
calendar events and reminders as two different things even if reminders
have due dates on them. You do have to pay a subscription to use
Fantastical but I've found it to be worth that cost. Apple's own calendar
isn't terrible either but I've come to appreciate how good Fantastical is
at understanding even really complex events just by you typing in a
sentence like you were explaining the event to someone. I think it still
does a better job at that than Siri does.

Re: Why does the wallet app show in two different places on my iPhone?

2023-04-19 Thread Michael Feir
There may be a quicker way than I know of. The first thing would be to
create the folder or make certain you know which home screen the folder is
on. Creating a folder involves going into edit mode by flicking down when
on a file and double tapping. Next, while in edit mode, drag one or more
apps and then put them ontop of another app to create a folder. It will be
named automatically but you can always change the name later. The files
will be dropped in the folder automatically.
Now that the folder is ready, go past your highest numbered home page and
you'll get into the app library. You then need to find the app you want and
get into edit mode as before. You then can drag an app from the library.
Once you've picked it up, use the three finger right swipes to move back
through your home screens. When you find the home screen with the folder,
flick left and right or touch the screen until you're focussed on the
folder. Flick down and you'll come to an "add to folder" option. Double tap
on that and the apps should be added to the folder. Remember that edit mode
will expire if you pause and do nothing for over thirty seconds. Double tap
on the folder to go into it where you should now find your apps. I have a
more thorough description of all this in my book. It's called Personal
Power: Getting The Most from iOS as a Totally Blind User.

Re: Why does the wallet app show in two different places on my iPhone?

2023-04-19 Thread Michael Feir
Ever since the app library was introduced, it has been possible to have
more than one app icon pointing to the same app. Only one instance of an
app is on your device, but you might have several icons, perhaps on
different home screens or in different folders. Alternatively, it's
possible to not use home screens at all and simply use the app library to
access apps. If you take this approach and hide all of your home screens,
be aware that the app library uses artificial intelligence and tags
submitted by app developers to determine which categories in the library to
put apps in. There's no way to manually organize apps inside the library.
For that, you'll need to use home screens and folders. Hope that helps.

Re: Chapters in apple podcasts

2023-04-09 Thread Michael Feir
The Podcasts app does support chapters. You need to have the full player
open by double tapping on the album art to expand from the mini player.
It's similar to how the full player works in the music app. Once that's
done, make certain that the chapters are shown. If they are, the button
beside them will say hide. It may be helpful to hide the show notes. Next,
you will need screen recognition on in order to flick right through the
available chapters. Double tap on the one you want to move to. So far as I
can tell, there are no butttons for skipping backwards and forwards by
chapter. However, you might be able to set that in the settings app under
podcasts. Hope that helps. Other podcast apps like Podcast Guru, Overcast
and Castro make navigating by chapters much easier.

Re: downloading apps

2022-10-20 Thread Michael Feir
There's a setting specifically for deciding this. Go into the "Home Scren"
area of settings. There, you can choose whether newly downloaded apps are
added to your home screens or simply put in the library. Other settings in
there let you decide if notification badges are shown in the library as
well as in the home screen. You can also decide whether searches are shown
on the home screen. I believe this has to do with when you use spotlight
search. Hope that helps.

Re: iPhone SE.

2022-08-13 Thread Michael Feir
Apple had some good reasons for abandonning the home button. They ware out
over time. Also, not having a home button improves water resistance. One
way to feel the results of the gestures which replace the home button for
VoiceOver usders is to go into VoiceOver audio settings and set the haptics
to a higher percent. This makes those indicator bumps easier to feel.
Personally, even without taking that step, I've never had a problem feeling
the bumps even when I can't hear the sounds. I don't miss the home button
at all.

I believe that you might be experiencing a feature called reachability.
It's designed for larger iPhones and essentially causes the top items
displayed on the screen to move down so they're easier to reach. Go into
accessibility settings and into the touch section. Find and double tap on
the reachability setting to toggle it off. That should eliminate the swish
sound. You shouldn't actually need the reachability feature on a smaller
iPhone.

Re: dugging query

2022-07-17 Thread Michael Feir
I generally find it annoying if I'm listening to something like music or a
soundscape. Audio ducking is very drastic and lowers the volume such that
you'll be pulled out of any flow state. Sound scapes and music are dropped
in volume enough that you'll miss hearing things other than VoiceOver. It
depends on what you most value hearing at the time. I wish there was a
settting to control how drastic the volume of other audio is ducked. Even
better would be an ability to set the relative volumes of things so
VoiceOver was loud enough to always be distinguished. It's an imperfect but
at times useful tool..

Re: problem with Shokz OpenComm headphones

2022-07-13 Thread Michael Feir
I think I know what you've run into here. For the buttons on the headphones
to adjust the volume, there needs to be sound playing. That can certainly
be your iPhone speaking. If those buttons are used when no sound is
playing, they'll trigger the battery status check. Simply cause your iPhone
to play music or other audio with a two finger double tap, or just touch
the screen to cause VoiceOver to speak. While it's theoretically saying
something too quietly to hear, press the top button on the right of the
headset to raise the volume.

Re: Question about Bluetooth keyboard

2022-07-06 Thread Michael Feir
Presuming no RGB or backlighting, that's true for a good many keyboards.
You don't need to spend big bucks for very long battery life. However,
looking at the longevity time difference between when lighting is used and
turned off, it's very drastic. I recently read about a keyboard which could
last ten months without the lighting being turned on or fifteen days with
lighting activated and used. My Keychron keyboard is similar. I can get
around 100 hours with the lighting turned off. However, that drops to
around 34 hours with the lighting used. My keyboard is a compact low
profile design so it has a smaller battery. However, I think it still
serves to illustrate the potential problem of dramatically overestimating
the charge remaining and not realizing that your lighting is on. RGB
lighting effects can cut down your batteries even more than backlighting.
For many people with sight, such lighting seems to be very desirable
despite the power tradeoff. For people like me who are totally blind, the
lighting is a liability.

Re: Question about Bluetooth keyboard

2022-07-06 Thread Michael Feir
It all depends on what keyboard you're using. Some Bluetooth keyboards
don't report their battery status to the battery widget on your iPhone.
Also, there are things like the size of battery your keyboard has and
whether backlighting or RGB lighting is used. These factors can change how
long you can go between having to charge your keyboard. Typically,
keyboards which feature backlighting or RGB lighting will have keyboard
commands to turn that lighting off to save tons of power. It can make a
massive difference. You can usually find the manual for your keyboard
online and discover the command in therre or often by reading or listening
to reviews of your keyboard. You could then get sighted assistence to let
you know if the lighting is disabled. The Be My Eyes app or FaceTime would
be good for this. Once I'm aware of the needed key command, I've been able
to use the light detecting function in Seeing AI to tell whether my
keyboard lighting is off. It's easier to tell if your keyboard and iPhone
are in a darker place.
In the best case, your keyboard will report its battery level to iOS and
you can use the battery widget to check its current level. It can also
indicate when your keyboard is charging. Remember that you can change the
order of the widgets on your today view and move the battery widget to the
top.
With keyboards which don't report their battery level, you could use an app
like Aira to get sighted assistance in checking the battery level. You'd
need to read about how your keyboard indicates the level of charge. It's
usually done via status lights. Other than that, good charging habits are
what you'll need. What I tend to do is to have an external power bank with
me and plug my keyboard and iPhone into it while I work. That way, only the
power bank drains and you're keyboard will remain topped up. This way, I
just need to remember to charge the power bank regularly. If you don't like
the idea of having the cables around all the time, then you should probably
plug your keyboard in every few days or so. That way, it will be ready if
circumstances prevent you from doing this. Hope that helps.

Re: Icloud

2022-05-29 Thread Michael Feir
The only things which count against your iCloud space are things you
create. Music and books you get from Apple using their apps don't count
against your iCloud space. The same is true of movies or TV shows you might
purchase. You create photos and documents so they take up iCloud space.
Ebooks and other goods you purchase from alternative sources will count
against your iCloud space presuming the apps you use back up to iCloud.
Therefore, any books you have in Voice Dream REader will take up iCloud
space.

There's actually a "rows" option on the rotor while you're in a

Re: accessing a Kindle eBook that refuses to play nicely with VoiceOver

2022-05-03 Thread Michael Feir
Amazon has been good about letting you return a book which won't work with
VoiceOver and refunding your money. On the rare occasion where I've run
into that, getting my money back has been pretty painless.

Thanks Richard. We'll see how people like it. I've got a couple of new

You should read on. They made the big change in iOS 14 so I indicated that.
You'll most definitely find information specific to iOS 15. Hope you enjoy.

Personal Power: Getting The Most From iOS as a Totally Blind User

2022-04-29 Thread Michael Feir
The Second Edition of Personal Power

Hello everyone. It's been a long and strange couple of years. A whole lot
of people out there seem to have found the first edition, with all of its
many imperfections, to be of some help. Given the very positive feedback
and so many earnest hopes expressed that I would update this guide, I have
indeed done so.

As before, the guide is completely free to all. I encourage you to share it
with whoever you wish. Provided the guide remains unaltered and freely
given, I have no issue with this. If anyone is willing to make the guide
available in other formats, such as DAISY, Braille, etc, you have my
sincere thanks for making that effort. I would request you share that
effort with me so I can make the files available to everyone along with the
other versions of the guide.

I have placed copies of the second edition of the guide in four different
formats. For most readers, I recommend the EPUB version. It has an
interactive table of contents and should be the best in most cases. Many
people requested a version in Microsoft Word, so I've put the DOCX version
in the directory. I've also created a PDF version thanks to that option
being available in Pages. It works well in the Voice Dream Reader app, but
I think EPUB is still better. The final version is a plain text Markdown
format version of the guide. In it, there is sadly no table of contents.
However, you can search for headings denoted by one or more number signs or
hashes. This could be helpful for people who find that the EPUB version
fails to work for them. I also hope that people will find ways to use this,
or the other files, in the creation of versions with active tables of
contents, or other advantageous format aids.

For ease of use, I have place these files in a shared Google Drive folder.
I hope this method of distribution will prove less troublesome for people
than prior attempts. The link to the folder is:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-1GAc2-HM1drA0GEj4fEBgQxIh4bHSKC

Re: A Sleeping Conundrum when using VoiceOver to Read Books in the Kindle App

2022-04-04 Thread Michael Feir
Hello mark. In this case, I think you're trying to turn the Kindle app into
something it just isn't supposed to be. It's really designed to let people
visually read Kindle books. You're not supposed to fall asleep when you do
that. VoiceOver is just a screen reader. It doesn't have a sleep timer.
Nore does the speak screen feature so far as I know.
I think Amazon's solution to your problem goes by the name of Audible. The
Audible app does indeed have a sleep timer. The books are read by human
narrators which means there's no way to look up spelling and such. Still,
if your aim is to fall asleep, Audible would be the way to go I think. For
books you plan to use as references or care about spellings from, use
Kindle. For really wacked out dreams, might I suggest you use an Audible
credit on the Sandman. Get the second act as well while you're at it.
Wonderful stuff, but perhaps not the most condusive to slumber.

Re: How to stop VO from saying toolbar

2022-03-29 Thread Michael Feir
That's probably an element of VoiceOver recognition. There's screen
recognition, text recognition and image descriptions. Screen recognition
can be really problematic but is occasionally useful on apps which are less
accessible. If you have screen recognition in your rotor, you can turn it
on or off while inside apps. You only have to do that once per app. If
that's too bothersome, I tend to suggest people turn screen recognition
off. Image descriptions and text recognition are both generally useful.
Hope that helps.

Re: Is anyone having problem leaving messages for delivery people in Uber eats?

2022-01-10 Thread Michael Feir
I just had this happen to me yesterday. Thankfully, I was able to use the
option to call the delivery person. There have been times when even more
critical parts of the app were inaccessible to VoiceOver. The tech support
people who know anything about accessibility at Uber Eats have historically
been difficult to get through to. Hope they get this fixed. Even more
though, I hope nothing else gets broke. I vdeeply value the variety of food
options made available to me through the service.

Re: Cannot Locate "Screen Recognition"

2021-12-19 Thread Michael Feir
It's a goood idea to do as Chris suggests and have it in the rotor. The
place to turn the whole feature on or off is in the VoiceOver recognition
settings. You'll find these right near the Braille settings when you go
into settings, accessibility VoiceOver.
I think people should really have this setting turned off unless they find
an app which isn't very accessible by default. It screws up apps which are
already quite accessible. The good news is that VoiceOver remembers what
choices you make on an app by app basis. Therefore, once you master using
the rotor, you can have the setting on the rotor and quickly enable or
disable the setting as required. You'll only have to do this once per app.
I think this would also hold true if you put the setting in quick settings
and did it that way while in a given app.

Re: getting new thirteens!

2021-11-20 Thread Michael Feir
I went from a XR to my 13 and have very much enjoyed the new phone. One of
the first things I notieced was how much easier it was to use Face ID as
well as the camera. The speed and battery improvements were also quite
apparent. I got the 512 gb version and love the additional storage space.
Since I didn't get a Pro, I don have any experience with lidar. Also, the
whole 5G thing hasn't rolled out here just yet. However, it's nice to be
ready for that big change when it happens. I hope you and your wife enjoy
those new phones.

Re: What is the pairing key on the K780?

2021-11-03 Thread Michael Feir
My wife Sara has a K780 and just checked this. The FN key is the second one
from the left on the bottom row. Hold that down plus the number one key for
a few seconds. The keyboard will then be in pairing mode. Use the Bluetooth
settings in your phone to pair with the keyboard. You'll have to type in a
number on the keyboard which will appear when you indicate that you want to
pair with it. This needs to be done pretty quickly to complete the pairing.
Thankfully, you need not do this very often. You'll find it an excellent
keyboard once it's properly paired with the devices you want to use it
with. There are three buttons you can use to switch between devices. They
are near the top of the board above the six pack of keys if I remember
correctly.

Re: need help with do not disturb

2021-10-22 Thread Michael Feir
It won't show as selected while you're in that small group of choices.
However, after you back out of the "allow calls from" setting, look in the
"people" dialogue again. After the "also allow", you'll find "calls from".
It will say "favourites" if that one is selected. Otherwise, it would say
something else like "everyone".

Re: need help with do not disturb

2021-10-22 Thread Michael Feir
You can still have calls from favourites get through. Go into the focus
settings and into the do not disturb. Next, flick right until you come to
the allow people button. Double tap on that. Flick right past the words
"also allow" and you'll find some options including letting calls from
favourites and repeat calls through. This is just like the old do not
disturb but with a lot more flexibility. Similar options are available when
it comes to notifications from apps.

Re: thinking about iPhone 13 pro but worried about face id

2021-10-10 Thread Michael Feir
I don't find it difficult. Just hold the iPhone out in front of you
vertically at around a foot away. Start with the top of the iPhone level
with your nose. Perhaps, a little higher. When the FAce ID setup telss you
to, imagine the front of your face as a crank handle you need to turn to
the right. You need to move your head so that the camera at the top of the
front of your iPhone gets to see your whole face. Another step has you
turning your face from side to side. You may have to go through the process
two or three times to get it rhght and catch all of the instructions since
they can get cut off as the camera takes in your face. It's not a very long
process. It takes less than a minute.
After you're finished and it's satisfied that the model of your face that
it has built is good, you just have to turn your face toward the iPhone
when required and it will unlock. You'll hear a click sound when it's
unlocked. You then use the home gesture by touching the bottom of the
iPhone screen and sliding your finger up until the second bump and high
pitched tick. Lift your finger and you'll be on your home screen. Very
simple.

Re: Mark on iPhone 13 from an iPhone 8 Perspective

2021-09-19 Thread Michael Feir
The thing about Lidar is you need to buy a Pro model to have that sensor
included. There's a large jump in price between the standard and pro
models. Unless you're really into photography, you're getting the bulk of
what most blind people will really benefit from in the standard iPhone for
substantially less money. This puts Lidar at a painful chicken and egg
point. App developers need to find clever enough uses for Lidar to
encourage enough sales on a smaller percentage of blind owners of pro
models. I think Apple is going to have to bring Lidar to all iPhone models
before things really get going.

Re: Mark on iPhone 13 from an iPhone 8 Perspective

2021-09-19 Thread Michael Feir
I currently use a 10R and decided to upgrade to a 13 with 512 gb. I look
forward to the extra storage. However, I also think the 13 will prove a
better phone to make use of artificial intelligence related improvements.
The 10R came out when that was just finding its stride. Better battery life
and a three generation jump in the chip are also attractive. Camera
improvements are also possibly quite helpful given that automatic
stabilization is now on all phones rather than the pros. For blind people,
this could be quite helpful if it really can keep things steadily in focus.
Guess I'll find out. I'm hoping I won't have to upgrade again for a number
of years.

Re: games in the app store

2021-08-09 Thread Michael Feir
You still need to follow the same procedure when obtaining free apps and
other digital offerings in the Apple ecosystem. It doesn't matter whether
there's a price or not. You won't be charged any money for free apps
though. This keeps things consistent and also helps make certain people
don't download a bunch of unwanted apps onto somebody's device.

Re: games in the app store

2021-08-09 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Janet. Unfortunately, when it comes to accessible games, the odds are
pretty low that a game featured in one of these lists will turn out to be
accessible. It does happen every so often, but I'd be careful spending
money on a game before you check on the Applevis site. At the very least,
you should carefully read the description in the app store. Most of the
time, developers will indicate if they've put effort into making a game
accessible. I would also strongly recommend that you visit the Applevis
site at:
Www.applevis.com
And look in the app directory which has a section dedicated to games. In
that directory, you'll find information on how accessible a game is and can
read comments from blind people who have tried it. This way, you won't end
up having to request a refund for a game which proves to be inaccessible.
Of course, if you do come across a game where the description makes it seem
likely that a game could be accessible, it's perfectly possible that the
blindf community at large simply hasn't discovered it yet. You might very
well find the next big hit. Also, if you find a game you really wish were
accessible, it never hurts to contact the app developer and let them know
of your interest. There are plenty of examples of games which have been
made accessible once their developers have been contacted by blind people
and made aware of accesssibility tools built into Apple products. Six Ages
is a tremendous example of this. So is Dice World. I wish you the best of
luck in your search for Summer fun.

Re: How to quiet notifications

2021-07-25 Thread Michael Feir
You certainly can. When iOS 15 is released, I think you'll find the various
focus options to be very helpful in this regard. Until then, however, the
best way to manage notifications is to have them delivered quietly. Do this
by going into setings and into notifications. For each app, you can set how
you want the notifications to be dealt with. To have the notifications
delivered quietly, make certain that the only option selected is to have
them allowed in the notification centre. Deselect banners, sounds and
badges. This way, they'll arrive silently and won't interrupt you. For more
time critical stuff, use the sounds, banners and badges as seems best to
you. It's a somewhat tedious approach but you only have to set things up
once and then change as your circumstances do.
Again, when iOS 15 is released, there'll be far more control as well as
notification summaries which will help tremendously. I currently have the
majority of my apps deliver notifications quietly so I can go into the
notifications centre on my own time and look through them. That means that
I don't always find out about news stories or tweets right away. However,
for things like messages, phone calls, etc, I have those sorts of things
using banners and sounds. I don't make much use of the badges.

Re: Free Calendar App?

2021-07-03 Thread Michael Feir
If you haven't already, you might want to give Google Calendar a spin. They
put effort into making their software accessible. Microsoft has a free app
called Microsoft To Do but that's more for task management. There are tons
of calendar apps and there may be accessible ones undiscovered by blind
people. However, the only ones I know about are paid apps. Google Calendar
is likely the best bet for something accessible and totally free.

Re: game app recommendations

2021-06-04 Thread Michael Feir
There are so many great games. A long-time favourite of mine is Six Ages:
Ride Like The Wind. That's a very deep complex game which makes wonderful
use of VoiceOver. Sonar Islands is certainly chewing chunks out of my day.
Also, you might enjoy the Choice Of and Hosted Games collections of stories
where you choose what happened. If you like word puzzles, try Seven Little
Words. If you haven't done so already, drop by the Applevis site at:
Www.applevis.com
Look in the games section of the app directory and you'll find information
on many games which are accessible to blind players. I have well over a
hundred on my iPHONE.

Re: I need an app

2021-05-30 Thread Michael Feir
There's a very accessible app which might suit your needs called Pill
Reminder. It's made by Sergio Licea and is very accessible with VoiceOver.
As always, I recommend people check on Applevis in case people have found
even more suitable options. This one seems to have a good set of tools for
keeping track of medication. Hope it helps.

Re: problem with finger print on I phone 8

2021-04-24 Thread Michael Feir
Presuming you haven't done this already, you may want to wipe off the
screen including the area at the bottom where your fingerprint is captured.
It can help to be systematic about making certain you change the angle and
placement of your finger so it's all captured. As you go through the
process, there are times when VoiceOver instructions are cut off by the
process as you move your finger and place it differently on the sensor. My
only other thought is that perhaps, a different finger would work better.
You can have more than one fingerprint stored. Hope that helps.

Re: Apple Arcade

2021-04-05 Thread Michael Feir
The only one which I've had any degree of success with is called Dear
Reader. It's a kind of word puzzle extravaganza based on various books.
Everything seems possible but it takes patience and careful thorough
exploration of the screens. It seems to be one of these cases which is
accessible by accident so it's far from a delight to play but is possible.

Re: Accessable life game

2021-03-19 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Barbara. I don't know of any replica of a Life Boardgame. However,
there are several life simulation games on iOS. Alter Ego is a classic
which was turned into a Choice Of game. That's the easier one to operate.
By far, the most complex and popular is one called BitLife. Its user
interface is accessible to VoiceOver users and the developer is aware of
blind players. However, some people find all the windows which pop open a
bit harder to deal with. It's well worth mastering given the stupendous
amount of possibilities and well designed mechanics.

In the middle of the road in terms of complexity is one called Life
Simulator. It's certainly deeper than Alter Ego but offers less depth and
scope than BitLife. Hope that helps you out.

Re: saving up for a new iPhone, should I purchase the 12 pro, or wait for the 13 to come out.

2021-02-27 Thread Michael Feir
I recommend holding off and waiting until the 13 comes out. There are a
couple of reasons for this. For one thing, the LIDAr is rumoured to be
offered in all models of iPHONE so you'll have more flexibility about which
kind of iPHONE to get without sacrificing that capability. The chip in the
13 series of iPHONEs will be more advanced which is always a good thing
that adds years to how long your phone will be supported after purchase.
Also, the 5G capabilities will be the second crack Apple takes at including
in an iPHONE. Any lessons they learned from the experiences of iPHONE 12
owners will be incorporated into the 13s. Provided you're reasonably
content with the iPHONE you have, I'd say it makes more sense to wait.

Re: word in texts

2021-02-05 Thread Michael Feir
It sounds like you might be confusing the character and word rotor setting
with the typing feedback settings. The rotor settings control how far you
move through the document. The settings it sounds like you want are found
in Voiceover just past the "rotor actions" settings. Once you double tap
the typing button, flick right until you reach the "typing feedback"
setings. Double tap this and then select what you want from there. Remember
that you can have different settings for software and hardware keyboards so
check that to make certain that you're getting the typing feedback you
want. Hope that helps.

Re: 14.4 requires 6 digit passcode?

2021-01-27 Thread Michael Feir
Wow! I wonder if there was an earlier option. Only thing to do here is
create a six digit passcode and then after setup, go into settings and
change it to something more suitable later. I can't imagine they'd remove
the option to customize your passcode from the passcode and id settings.
Unfortunately, no brilliant ideas occur to me.

Re: update complete

2021-01-06 Thread Michael Feir
That's a bit tricky. If you feel around the screen, you need to find the OK
button. You can't seem to get there by flicking. I had to scroll down with
a two finger upward swipe and then feel around the screen to eventually
find and double tap the ok button.

Re: are there any good accessible backgammon apps?

2020-12-27 Thread Michael Feir
There's only one which I know of. It's called Backgammon with Buddies. It
was made to support VoiceOver. That's the only one as far as I'm aware. In
contrast, there are numerous Chess apps and at least a couple Sudoku games.
Anybody wanting to find games of all sorts should go to:
Www.applevis.com
And look in the app directory under the "games" category. You can sort it
in various ways. Also, check the latest recommendations.

Re: Kindle Books On The iPhone?

2020-12-07 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Joy. Perhaps, my insomnia will actually be useful here. I have well
over 2000 Kindle books and read them exclusively on the Kindle app on my
iPHONE. The app is set up with a different overall style than the Books app
but it offers a wonderful reading experience when you grasp the basics.
I've written extensively about the Kindle app in my guide. It's called
Personal Power: The iOS Edition. It's free to everyone and available in
several formats. I recommend the Epub version. It works well in the Books
app or even better in the Voice Dream REader app if you have that. The
guide has a section called REad All ABout it. This covers a number of book
reading apps including a detailed look at the Kindle app. You can obtain
the guide from the Dropbox folder I've put it in. I've pasted the link to
the folder below. If that proves to be troublesome for you, I'm happy to
personally send you a copy. The audio narrated versions are too large for
that but the Epub and other document formats are easy to send around. The
link is:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/soubx9x41xjsxo8/AAC0K5acw10d45Ib6g6ItWPLa?dl=1

I hope this proves useful and that you will be able to master the Kindle
app. It's well worth learning how to use. Kindle prices are often much
cheeper than Apple Books especially if you watch for daily deals and other
sales.

Re: Deleting Books From The Kindall App?

2020-11-27 Thread Michael Feir
The Kindle service lets you archive books which removes them from your
device. They're always available to be downloaded again from the cloud when
you need them. Personally, I prefer to keep my complete library of
thousands of books on my iPHONE. However, not everyone has the space and
this is why Kindle works the way it does.

To archive a book is very simple. When you're on the book title in your
list of books found in the "library" tab, flick down until you come to
"archive". Double tap on that and the book will no longer take up space on
your iPHONe. If you wish to only see books you have downloaded rather than
your complete collection, you can find a button dcalled "downloaded" at the
top of the library screen near the "filter", "all" and "sort" options. This
can be helpful if you don't want to accidentally download a book by double
tapping on its title. Use the "all" button to return to the full list of
books available in your collection. Hope that helps you more fully enjoy
the Kindle app. Happy reading.

Re: Altering the Screen During Calls Back to the Full Screen View

2020-11-19 Thread Michael Feir
You need to go into the settings and then to "phone". In there, find the
setting which says "incoming calls". Set that to full screen.

Re: silent phone

2020-10-10 Thread Michael Feir
Nicely done, Lana. Sudden silence from one's iPHONE can be quite unnerving
particularly for beginners. In my guide, Personal Power: The iOS Edition, I
strongly recommend that everyone set up the accessibility shortcut. It's a
real life saver. I wish Apple did more to make people aware of such things
so I didn't feel compelled to. Yu'll find links to my blog and the guide in
my signature for more tricks and tips. Also, everyone should visit and
explore the Applevis site at:
Www.applevis.com

Re: Can't Upgrade apple Watch Series 3

2020-09-17 Thread Michael Feir
I bit the bullet and reset my watch. I don't think you can clear up enough
space on a Series 3 to avoid reseting. I removed everything that it seemed
possible to remove. It took quite a while to transfer the update, but it's
certanly worth doing. I'm still setting things up how I like but it's all
goig quite smoothly.

Re: Bone conduction Headphones

2020-09-15 Thread Michael Feir
Hi Simon. I've been quite happy with my Trekz Titaniums from Aftershokz. In
fact, I've never felt the need to try any other brand. They have built in
voice guidance, are easy to use and do a good job sonically. I don't use
them to hear audio dramas or music if I don't have to. I much prefer my
AirPods. However, if I'm walking or out where I might easily loose my
AirPods, they're great for walking, reading books with synthetic speech,
listenning to podcasts, etc. when you need your actual hearing, the trade
of worse sound quality is well worth it. The other down side of these
headsets is that the microphones aren't great. You can be understood on
phone calls but that's about it. I wouldn't want to be interviewed using
them to record my speech. Hope that helps.

Re: Place for memos or notes.

2020-09-09 Thread Michael Feir
There's also the Voice Memos app if you'd rather record than dictate or
type. And then, should you need a different aproach, there are many
different apps on the app store. Drafts and Allegory are two examples known
to be accessible. And then, there are all sorts of apps for keeping track
of things. Journallng apps like Day One Journal and Miary. Task managers
like Microsoft Todo and Things3. Apps like Fantasticalcombine calendar with
remindrs. And then, there are apps like Sofa for keeping track of things
you might want to remember to do in your down time. Hope this helps you get
a sense of what's possible and that you find what best suits your needs.

Re: Are Kindle Books Accessible?

2020-08-28 Thread Michael Feir
The guide is called Personal Power: The iOS Edition. You can get it at:
www.michaelf...@blogspot.com
It can also be found on the Applevis site. Thanks to a couple of very kind
people, it's available in Daisy Audio and electronic Braille as well as
Epub, Word and Richtext formats.

for accessibility. There's a cession on using the VoiceOver custom rotor
capability. A couple of others deal with accessibility including one
dedicated to creating accessible apps on Big Sur. I have yet to see full
release notes on the various operating systems. That can often reveal
VoiceOver improvements not mentionned.

There was nothing accessibility related in the state of the platform
speech. That doesn't mean that there are no substantial accessibility
improvements. I suppose it does mean that there's unlikely to be any major
mind-blowing accessibility upgrades this time around. However, a number of
the new features discussed would certainly be of help to blind users.
Nothing struck me as particularly likely to be inaccessible to VoiceOver.

iOS13 saw a number of pretty largescale accessibility features added but
also saw a marked dip in quality control. Frankly, I'd be delighted if
things just worked and we weren't faced with any nasty bugs this time
around. I think it's actually pretty likely that iOS14 will be a much
smoother ride in that regard.

The game's not over yet. Often, more videos and cessions get added as these
things progress. Also, there are the Apple Design awards on June 29th.
Quite often, I've heard about accessible apps during those presentations.
There are also a ton of labs and appointments with Apple engineers with
nosy non-developers like me don't have accesss to. Those behind the scenes
discussions might well result in apps being made accessible after the
event. I intend to keep a close ear on things.

Re: Voice Dream Scanner

2020-06-21 Thread Michael Feir
The basics are pretty easy. The menu button will get you into where you can
change things and read instructions. However, all you need to do is hold
your phone flat and above the card. Move the phone an listen for the tone
which will get louder as more text is detected. If the tone gets quieter,
you've lost focus on some text. When you have a loud stable tone, double
tap on the "capture image" button and the text will be scanned. Settings in
the app let you determine if it's read out loud or not among other things.
I find it best to use the app with VoiceOver hints disabled so the hint
doesn't talk over the text which is read. However, the hints are useful to
learn what's what. Hope that helps you get started. It's a beautifully
intuitive system.

Re: ipad adjustments

2020-06-17 Thread Michael Feir
My first thought would be to look in the Touch setings. You'll find that
button in the accessibility settings and it leads to a large group of
options which sound to me like what you want. You can change how gestures
work and do other things related to touch screen difficulties. I don't know
where you get the special control switches but imagine they'd be on Amazon
among other places. The Apple store would certainly have at least one or
two types in their accessories but they tend to sell things more
expensively than elsewhere. Hope that helps a bit.

Sounds like you have your mute switch set on mute. Flick the switch to the
other position and the ringer and alert sounds will play. You'll find the

Re: How to answer call, while on a call.

2020-05-07 Thread Michael Feir
When a second call comes in, a panel pops up with options. You can touch on
the screen to find this panel and then flick left or right over the
options. When you find the one you want to use, double tap on it with one
finger and it'll work.

Re: voice dream reader

2020-05-03 Thread Michael Feir
I zip my audio books if they're done in mp3s. I then copy them into iCloud
Drive and then simply load them into VoiceOver much like any other book.
You can also use other clouds like Dropbox. Once it's in Voice Dream
Reader, each file is treated like a separate chapter. One thing you should
do before zipping them is make certain the files are named sequentially so
they appear and will be played in order. Hope that helps.

Re: Turning screen curtain off?

2020-05-02 Thread Michael Feir
Hello Adam. I just had a brief poke around for a solution. Unfortunately,
there's no toggle in VoiceOver settings for the screen curtain. Using Siri
isn't an option since it seems to think you want to control curtains
connected via the home kit. The only thought which occurs to me is going
into the VoiceOver commands settings and changing the screen curtain
gesture to some other gesture which isn't already used for something else
and might be easier for her. I cover this sort of thing in the guide I just
released last Monday. You'll find a link to my blog where you can find the
guide. It's also on Applevis. Best of luck to you.

Re: Personal Power; the iOS Edition

2020-04-29 Thread Michael Feir
In an ideal world, there'd be classes of local people who could physically
meet up and take beginners through a corse which taught them the basic
skills. It would also present the many possibilities of things they could
do with their iPHONEs and iPADs. So many people don't realise the power
they have because the information just isn't waiting there for beginners.
Glad you're willing to be there for your friend Malcom.

That would be splendid Curtis. Particularly if you can post it online for
all to enjoy. I had hoped someone could do that. Everything's up on Dropbox
now. The iCloud links were giving folks some trouble. It's also on
Applevis.

Re: Personal Power; the iOS Edition

2020-04-27 Thread Michael Feir
I hope it helps lots of people. Think everything should be good now. It's
all in a Dropbox folder. Also, I put the guide up on Applevis thanks to
someone's timely suggestion. The Epub version works the best and has the
interactive table of contents. Hopefully, most people will grab that one.

Re: Apple Music question?

2020-04-18 Thread Michael Feir
Hi Malcolm. iOS13 has a number of VoiceOver jumping and focus issues to
contend with. This is one of them. The only way to get to most of the
contents in that tab is to use the vertical scroll bar over on the right
side of the screen to move up or down to the verious areas. For instance,
to get at the new rleases heading, I go down to 100 percent, flick over to
the left, and then flick up with the rotor set to headings so I get to the
start of the heading. I can then flick right through the contents.
Sometimes, it's useful to double tap the "see all" button to get into the
full contents of the area you're interested in. It's easy to miss out on
stuff since VoiceOver doesn't behave as it should. Hope things improve in
iOS14. I've pretty much given up on these issues being dealt with sooner
than that. I'd be ecstatic if they fixed the misspellt words rotor
function. Best of luck to you Malcolm.
