This morning I saw a tweet from LifeHacker discussing a new version of this app called Draft. It's one of many note taking apps out there but what attracted me to it was the fact that when you open it, you are immediately placed in an edit field for a new note along with its extensive support for a ton of various services including but not limited to DropBox, Twitter, FaceBook, Evernote, and a bunch of others. The app is $1.99 so I decided to purchase it and give it a try and I'm glad to report it's very accessible and VO friendly. The actions button works a little differently however in that you don't get a dialog in the usual way but swiping to the right does reveal the various actions and there are sound effects that let you know when an action has been performed. The save to dropbox action is lightning fast.

RE: App that allows editing of Word documents.
The renaming and the fact that Pages still doesn't allow one to organize files in folders are two of the main reasons I avoid using it.

Re: Naming Documents In Pages
Yes, it is very difficult to edit documents because VoiceOver does not accurately inform you where you are in the document. If you have pages, load a 4 or 5 page word document in it and try to add text to the end of the document. If you double tap so VoiceOver says incertion point at the end of the document and start typing, you may find your new text on page 2. It is not worth the time messing with it.

RE: Security questions
This new thing from Apple is a bit difficult. There are three questions, if I remember correctly, when you double tap the first one, flick back to the left and make sure it is selected, then flick right to the edit box and double tap. Enter your text, then flick to the next one, and repeat. I recall this took several rounds of flicking back and forth until I found where all the questions and answers went. Apple surely could have made this easier by doing one question and then have a next button. As it is, it takes a lot of trial and error and patience.

RE: iPad Apps
If you are using VoiceOver, then I'd recommend Meteor Notes for $2.99 or PlainText for free. Both allow unlimited folder creation and can sync with dropbox or email documents. They both use plain text format. Pages is the only app for doing Word Documents, but it is not very accessible with VoiceOver in my biased opinion. It certainly isn't worth $9.99.

RE: Keeping track of birthdays
NO. It just kicks you out and you lose whatever you had entered. And I had been misinformed earlier, the All-Day event bug is only for voiceOver users. A work around would be to set a start time of 12:00 AM and an end time of 11:55 PM. That is about as close as we can get to All-Day until Apple decides to fix this bug that has been there since 5.1 was released.

Re: Using a braille display with iBooks
As of IOS 5.1 the Humanware Brailliant BI displays work fine with Apple devices. There are work arounds for the conflicting keystrokes, which I don't recall at the moment. Apple fixed the Humanware issues and broke all HIMS products and I believe Braille Connect displays with 5.1. Now we are waiting for them to fix it again. Nobody knows when they might see fit to do that since they have been aware of it since the day they released 5.1. As a user of the HIMS products, I'm getting a bit tired of Apple's taking their F--ing time on this one.

According to many posts through the past few years, the HumanWare displays have a tendency toward internal controls being performed via chorded commands. These internal chorded commands have been reported to conflict with iOS control command chords. Also, the HumanWare displays are reported most often as having bluetooth stack issues which may prevent regular and stable connection with the iPhone. Note: apparently, the Braille Sense displays are having connection issues since the latest iOS upgrade. I will be able to test a Braille Edge next week to see how well it works with my iPhone 4 and how well it works with my Mac.

RE: ShowMoney app for money identification
Don't waste your time with this app. It alternately identified a 1 dollar bill as a 20 and a 50. You are better off with the free EyeNote app for U.S. dollars or the latest update to oMoby for U.S. dollars. For other currencies, I guess we need to wait for Looktel to expand on their current list, but at least they cover Australia, Canada, Britain and the Euro along with U.S. money. Not to mention the ease of use. The button identification with Show Money is poor at best. JMO, Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: ShowMoney app for money identification
I'm glad you got some good results, as I said in my previous note, it identified a one dollar bill as a 20 and a 50, so I'm deleting it. This was on a 4S. However, just a note about the settings, there is an option to not have the pictures added to your camera roll. It is set to store the photos by default, so you have to go in and turn that off if you don't want all those images being saved.

Re: Best DAISY book reading app.
I doubt very much you will find consensus on this one because it depends on the source of the daisy material. Read2Go is best for Bookshare. Learning Ally's app is best forand the only one their books. I suspect that when the National Library Service for the blind here in the United States releases an app, their app will be the best and only one for their material. It sure would have been nice if everyone used the same daisy system so that one app could be used for all daisy material, but that is never going to be the case until someone figures out how to make one app that can be authorized for all the different services.

Re: Apple blew it.
This is my last note on this topic. In this case, it is actually all Apples fault. They had the HIMS drivers working fine in IOS 5.0. Apple broke that in 5.1 when they added the Humanware Brailliant BI. Since HIMS was coming out with a new braille display and a new note taker, they gave Apple the updated drivers shortly after 5.1 came out. Apple release 5.1.1 without doing anything about the problems they created with 5.1. The calendar bug is 100 percent Apple's issue, not dependent on any third party. I'm done now. I think I'll take a long break from this list now.

Re: How to Calibrate Your Home Button | Snapguide

RE: Read2Go and storing books in iCloud
At the risk of being dense, you can always download them again from bookshare, which in essence means they are stored in the Cloud. But, this might be a suggestion for Bookshare to consider in an update. I don't think it is possible to direct the app to look anywhere else for books at this point.

Re: accessibility of new iPhone compatible meter
I checked out the app. If you want to manually add information, you split-tap or double tap on the word, like Glucose, and then enter the number on the overly verbose keypad. Then, tap on Carbs, enter the number, tap on Insulin and enter the number. Then, hit the done button which is just above the 3. You will find an option to tag it with pre-breakfast, post-breakfast, etc. It comes up as a picker item. So, it looks pretty accessible out of the box. The keypad says a lot of unnecessary stuff, but it is manageable. I work with a lot of people with diabetes. I called the company and was told the app is not compatible with VoiceOver, but they are looking into it. I pointed out how much I could do with the app now, and it would take very little tweaking for them to make it completely accessible. The person I talked with took my information and said he would forward it on to management etc. They do not provide any way to contact that department. Perhaps if enough people call them expressing an interest in making it more accessible with VoiceOver, they will take the time to do the adjustments needed. Toll Free: 800-633-1610. Richard On May 16, 2012, at 5:21 AM, Chanelle Allen chanellem.al...@gmail.com wrote: Hi viphone list, A company called Sanofi has released the IBGStar meter, which connects to the iPhone. There is also an app that records the blood sugar readings from the meter. Has anyone experimented with the app or tried the meter? I am wondering if Voiceover would announce the prompts given by the meter. Someone from another list said that the app is almost accessible. Labels are above the buttons, so one isn't always sure what button applies to what label. Double tapping didn't do anything. I plan to take a look at the app myself since it can be used for logging blood sugars, insulin, etc. Maybe if enough people try the app and write to the company about accessibility, it will be even more useful. There has been some discussion on the list about diabetes record keeping apps. I didn't like any of the ones I tried, so I used an app called Tap Forms Lt which allows one to create databases. The app is totally accessible and allows one to create and customize a form as well as to use built in forms. Having a meter that would communicate with an accessible app would save some of the work in keeping track of things.

RE: Lost VO Entirely
Have you tried it with earphones? I had this happen with someone's iPad on Friday. If it works with earphones, remove the earphones and do a two finger flick up so VO is going to be reading the entire screen, then start tapping the up volume button on the side. If VO comes up, then go into your sound settings and set it so it does not use the volume buttons to adjust the sounds volume.

RE: cross posted question about best studio quality microphone mac and iphone compatible
I was curious about that Tascam adapter, so I looked it up. Here is some info from the Tascam web site: IU2 OVERVIEW Audio/MIDI Interface For iOS Devices iM2 TASCAM's iU2 is a premium sound quality audio interface for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. It includes all of the features of TASCAM's best-selling USB audio interfaces, including a pair of great-sounding microphone inputs. The XLR inputs have phantom power for use with high-quality condenser microphones. These feed an onboard microphone preamp and A/D converter for better sound performance than those built into iPhone and iPad - true stereo recording with low noise and less tendency to distort. The inputs also accept line-level signals or you can plug a guitar or bass directly into your device. In addition to compatibility with iOS devices, the iU2 also works with Mac and Windows computers. A zero-latency monitoring path allows musicians to hear themselves directly through the unit, without any distracting delay. MIDI in and out are provided to interface with synths and drum machines, and a digital output connects to digital mixers or recorders. IU2 SPECIFICATIONS Audio/MIDI Interface for Mac, Windows and iOS devices Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch Two XLR mic inputs with phantom power Two balanced line inputs Instrument-level input for guitar or bass MIDI in and out Onboard A/D conversion for low-noise and distortion when recording with iOS devices Zero-latency direct monitoring S/PDIF Digital Output Includes USB cable, iOS dock connection cable, XLR to 1/4 conversion cables HTH, Richard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ioana Gandrabur Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2012 2:11 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: cross posted question about best studio quality microphone mac and iphone compatible thanks, I don't have one at all at the moment so thought I'd start from scratch with something compatible.

RE: VO accessibility of Oxford American dictionary?
Is this the one you are talking about? It is by a company called Handmark, Inc. I show a price of $29.99. They also make a Pocket dictionary for $4.99. The Pocket has 150,000 words and the new Oxford American Dictionary has 350,000 wordds. My public library has the entire Oxford English Dictionary on-line through their databases which works in Safari. However, the built-in dictionary in the iPhone is actually quite good. I might be interested in one of these though if they were fully accessible. New Oxford American Dictionary Description As Oxford's flagship American dictionary, the New Oxford American Dictionary sets the standard of excellence for lexicography in this country. With more than 350,000 words, phrases, and senses, and hundreds of explanatory notes, this dictionary provides the most comprehensive and accurate coverage of American English available. The dictionary draws on the two-billion-word Oxford English Corpus and the unrivaled citation files of the world-renowned Oxford English Dictionary to provide the most accurate and richly descriptive picture of American English ever offered in any dictionary. The Third Edition offers a thoroughly updated text, with revisions throughout and approximately 2,000 new words, phrases, and meanings. Many new words relate to fast-moving areas such as computing, technology, current affairs, and ecology, while others have recently entered the popular lexicon. Usage notes have been updated in light of the most recent Corpus evidence, and a completely new in-text feature on Word Trends charts usage for rapidly changing words and phrases such as carbon, mobile, or tweet. In addition, the application has an attractive, modern new design that makes entries easier to read and find. One of the hallmarks of the New Oxford American Dictionary is the way it reflects the living language. Unlike in more traditional dictionaries, where meanings are ordered chronologically according to the history of the language, each entry plainly shows the principal meaning or meanings of the word, organized by importance in today's English. Thus readers can be confident that the first definition they see is the one most likely to be used by people today, and is not a sense that has been obsolete for two centuries. Offering clear, authoritative, and precise information, with the in-depth and up-to-date coverage that users need and expect, the New Oxford American Dictionary is the benchmark by which all other American dictionaries are measured. Features + Over 60,000 audio pronunciations for dictionary entries + No wireless connection required (audio pronunciations require wireless connection) + Offers the most comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of current English + New Word Trends feature charts usage for rapidly changing words and phrases + Powered by Oxford's extensive language research program, including the 2-billion-word Oxford English Corpus + $29.99 represents a 50% discount from the $60 MSRP of the hardcover version New Oxford American Dictionary Support What's New in Version 2.0.2 Bug fixes and performance improvements -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kimber Gardner Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 5:56 AM To: viphone Subject: VO accessibility of Oxford American dictionary?

Yes, that is what also happened to dictionary.com though I haven't used that one in a while. I've been using the Webster's Dictionary app, which pauses slightly with each word, but doesn't say link.

However, the way information is presented on the screen and the way VoiceOver interacts with such applications make it very difficult to use. Each word appears on the screen as a link which can be clicked, so VoiceOver reads each word and then says Link, then plays its normal VO sound which indicates a text boundary, then reads the next word, and so forth. VoiceOver Performance VoiceOver reads all page elements. Button Labelling All buttons are clearly labelled. Usability The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver, but the interface makes the app very difficult to use. Other Comments An increasing number of developers and companies are moving toward presenting information on the screen in the form of words which can be clicked to move the focus to a different screen. Sadly, this affects almost all premium dictionaries on the App store including this one. I think Apple should add a router option which, when selected, would disable the announcement of HTML elements in continuous reading (I mean with the two-finger down gesture). That would greatly help with such apps.

Usually, this is actually a good thing, because it means that you can pretty much try whatever you want on iOS without worrying about system instability. But I agree, in cases like this, it's in fact a detriment rather than a benefit. I imagine what you'd have to do is type the text into this app, then copy it to the clipboard, and then paste it elsewhere. Or, the developers might allow you to compose Email or text messages with the text pre-filled. This is basically the extent of what the app would be able to do and I don't think Apple will budge on this: it's just a part of their operating system.

Here is the text from the accessibility section of the review for the New Oxford American Dictionary: Accessibility Comments The app is fully accessible. However, the way information is presented on the screen and the way VoiceOver interacts with such applications make it very difficult to use. Each word appears on the screen as a link which can be clicked, so VoiceOver reads each word and then says Link, then plays its normal VO sound which indicates a text boundary, then reads the next word, and so forth. VoiceOver Performance VoiceOver reads all page elements. Button Labelling All buttons are clearly labelled. Usability The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver, but the interface makes the app very difficult to use. Other Comments An increasing number of developers and companies are moving toward presenting information on the screen in the form of words which can be clicked to move the focus to a different screen. Sadly, this affects almost all premium dictionaries on the App store including this one. I think Apple should add a router option which, when selected, would disable the announcement of HTML elements in continuous reading (I mean with the two-finger down gesture). That would greatly help with such apps. One of the popular screen readers on Windows has such an option, and it drastically enhances the accessibility of such applications there. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of mrgushi Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 7:56 AM To: VIPhone Subject: Re: VO accessibility of Oxford American dictionary?

RE: TextFree on an iPhone 4S
Hi, If you are on the screen with a compose button, just double tap that, then find the text field that has the word to before it and double tap and put in the person's name, etc. Then, find the spot that says Sent from textfree and double tap to get it in edit mode. That is the default signature unless you changed it. Then, the send button is kind of where it is on regular text messages, above the o and p, kind of. Very odd that your phone rings. I could only get it to ring if I turned off the cell data and only had Wi-Fi running, then rebooted the phone. I've sent a note to them, but I won't hold my breath for a reply since, as you point out, it is free, which often means less performance/support.

RE: stereo recording (was Recorder suggestions)
Perhaps you should explain a bit more exactly what you want to do. What source are you playing the music from that you then wish to record from your iPhone? You can't play music and record it on the same device unless you use a streaming app like Ootunes or TuneIn, etc. If you are streaming something that you wish to record, you will likely have to use a patch cord and record what is coming out of the earphone jack into a computer or another device.

Also, the Fostex will only work with the iPhone 4 and 4s, because it cradles the phone, or iPod Touch. My Dad has an iPhone 3gs and we tried to fit it in, but it was too big.

Re: Navigon
Hi Raul, Now that you have burst my bubble about Oregon, let me address the real issue here. The Portland maps used to be fine. Navigon was my favorite app by far. A couple updates ago, the maps began telling me that I am in Lake Jeanclia. Since their support department seems to not give a damn about that, I certainly can't recommend Navigon here in Oregon. However, who is to say that after the next update, your maps will suddenly start giving you false information? The issue isn't that the maps are fine in some areas but not others, the issue is that when they screw something up, they don't seem to care about fixing it. So, I cannot recommend a company with such awful customer service. When anyone asks about Navigon, I will point this out. Take care, Richard (Sent from my iPhone) On Jun 18, 2012, at 4:06 AM, Raul A.

Re: VO can be heard only through my ear phones
OK, just to be really methodical about this. Go into settings and make sure the volume is set to change with the buttons. Do this with your earphones plugged in, so once the volume is set to change with the buttons, try the two finger flick up, then unplug the headphones and keep tapping on the volume up button on the side of the phone. If that doesn't fix it, then it is time to deal with Apple. So, you are saying the speakers work fine for everything other than VoiceOver, right?

FW: Where to and navigation and a VoiceOver question
Hi all, I just wanted to share what a great response I got from the support folks with the Where To app. I've already written them back to explain how visually impaired people use the navigation apps, but I thought folks might want to see what a truly helpful response I received. _ From: Ortwin Gentz [mailto:wher...@futuretap.com] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2012 1:17 PM Subject: Re: Where to and navigation and a VoiceOver question Hi Richard, please see my answers inline. Could you add Mapquest4Mobile to the supported gps apps? Unfortunately, the Mapquest app does not support being started from third party apps. So we can't add this app. I could not find a gigle setting, at least I think that is what it said in the FAQ section about setting a default gps app. Sorry, we haven't written this with VoiceOver users in mind. We'll fix this. There are two ways to set your preferred navigation app: 1. If you haven't set a preferred app yet, just use the gesture to open the preferred app: long-tap on the directions button. Using VoiceOver this is a tap, tap-hold combination. As long as there isn't a preferred app defined yet, you'll be presented with a popover where you can just select an app. As soon as you close the popover by tapping somewhere else, the preferred app is set. 2. If you want to change your preferred app, you have to tap once on the directions button to open the popover. Then long-tap (that is tap, tap-hold in VoiceOver) on any app icon to start the jiggle mode. VoiceOver announces this with Started editing mode. Then a button named Set Preferred appears on the top-left of the popover which leads you into set preferred mode (unfortunately this isn't announced correctly in VoiceOver in this version. Currently it just says Ended editing mode when it starts the Set Preferred mode.). Now you can select your preferred by selecting it once and dismissing the popover. I know this sounds terribly complicated and we'd be glad to make it easier. We were just not sure whether VoiceOver users could actually make use of those apps because they are for car navigation mostly. If you could give us some insight about typical use cases and which apps would be actually useful for blind users, that would be very helpful to improve the app in the future. Also, I'm finding it hard to figure out how to add a place to the favorites using VoiceOver. It seems like I'm missing something here. Thanks for the VoiceOver improvements in the latest version. This is actually quite easy. On the details page, the button in the bottom right corner toggles the Favorite state. It says Favorite Button when not favorited and Selected Favorite Button when favorited. Then to access Favorites, you'd go to the Favorites tab on the bottom of the home screen and select the Places tab on the top of the Favorites screen. Hope that helps. If you've any further questions, I'm glad to help! Ortwin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: How to use the iphone in an emergency
Turn off siri and the old voice commands work. Voice dialing is not meant for emergencies. (Sent from my iPhone) On Jun 24, 2012, at 4:06 PM, Sieghard siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hello Everybody, Just a note to chime in on this with a couple of remarks and suggestions. Firstly, Lois mentioned that you don't need SIRI to voice dial, well that is only true on an iPhone 4 which of course doesn't have SIRI anyways, but still has voice dialing which resides on the phone. On the iPhone 4S voice dialing as such does not exist any more, it is done by SIRI and hence if for some reason you don't have a data connection voice dialing will not work at all. When I was on Maui for my holiday a few months ago (I am from Canada) I had data roaming turned off in order to avoid surprise bills, my phone still worked as a phone but no data means no SIRI means no voice dialing, no setting alarms, timers, reminders etc. Amazing how you suddenly notice how much you use it if you can't use it. Secondly, if there was a direct dial link on the lock screen I would imagine that the 911 operators would get a lot of calls by people who accidently tapped it and I assume this maybe a reason why it's not there. Lastly, let's face it, if you are a cane user and are threatened by a person, what are the chances you can outrun them? Unless your attacker is an old lady with arthritis or maybe he/she is blind as well I don't think running is a good option. Now if you have a guide dog and are used to running with your dog or maybe you even practiced this you could maybe run and trust your dog to get you away. I jog with my dog on my own all the time and would possibly take such a chance, but if I were running flat out I wouldn't try to make a call whether it was with an iPhone or any other phone. As far as dialing 911 quickly I would suggest you use any of the many small apps out there which allow you to make direct shortcuts to either one or several phone numbers which you can then place on your Home screen or even in the dock. There is a host of apps on the app store for exactly that purpose, remember, this is Apple and the app store with 600,000 apps. Here is for example one ccalled 911 by Zodiac Interactive which is free, a quick search for 911 brought this up and if you google 911 emergency dialing on the iPhone you find a ton of results. By the way, I have not downloaded this app so I can't speak for it's accessibility, but these are very simple apps so I assume there will be some that are definitely accessible and anybody who thinks they need it just can check it out. Description from the app store: Imagine being caught in an emergency and you need to call 911 or one of your emergency contacts. Do you want to have to go to your phone book? Do you want to have to dial the numbers? With 911 you can call the 911 operator with two simple clicks. In addition the 911 application allows you to set up two additional emergency contacts from your phone book and becomes a rapid dialer in an emergency. Put this app on the bottom of your iPhone navigation to have it always there in an emergency. And one last note, a while ago some people were discussing how to put ICE information (In Case of Emergency) information on the lock screen. Some suggested to make a printed copy of such information, then take a picture with the iPhone and use that picture as wallpaper which you would then see on the lock screen. When I checked out these 911 apps I also came across some which offer that functionality in addition to storing all sorts of In Case of Emergency information such as who to call, alergy and medication info, blood type etc. If anybody is interest such search the app store for in case of emergency. Apparently the app uses the information you enter to make a wallpaper image out of it which you can then select in Settings and Wall Paper.

RE: wireless printer recommendations compatible with i devices and Windows pcs
Hi, I'm far from an expert. I have not bought the program yet, just used the trial. The trial puts a watermark on anything you print, so you can verify that your printer works, but won't go on using the free version since the print out is not very good. I just went through the setup of the program, it found my printer. Then, since my printer is a USB printer, my computer has to be on when I select print on my iPod Touch. For example, if you get an Email that you want to print, you select reply and then there is a print option. Double tap on that and you will see your printer, select it, and the other options then hit print and the message will print.

Thanks, Richard _ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of BrailleTouch Sent: Monday, December 24, 2012 1:13 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Introducing BrailleTouch - an iPhone app for typing in braille on your touchscreen Greetings and Happy Holidays! My name is Caleb, and I'm one of the developers of a new iPhone app called BrailleTouch. BrailleTouch allows you to type using braille on your touchscreen, and is based on the standard six key braille keyboard. We are excited to announce that BrailleTouch will be on the App Store by the end of January! We hope that you will like BrailleTouch and find it useful. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have, and I've included some more information about the app below. With BrailleTouch, you can send text messages, emails, and tweets from the touchscreen braille keyboard. You can also copy text you type in braille to the clipboard and paste it into other apps on your iPhone. There is a free version of BrailleTouch, so you can try it before you buy it. The free version lets you type in braille and hear the text you entered. Many braille instructors have told us that they would like to use BrailleTouch as a teaching tool, which the free version will support. Additional features are available as In App Purchases. The Messaging Upgrade allows you to send text messages, emails, and tweets from the touchscreen braille keyboard. The Clipboard Upgrade allows you to copy text from the touchscreen braille keyboard and paste it into other apps on your iPhone. BrailleTouch is based on research conducted at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, where I am a graduate student. My colleagues and I tested the software with eleven volunteers who are blind. We found that people who knew the standard Perkins braille keyboard were able to master BrailleTouch within an hour of practice and type at an average of 23 words per minute using Grade 1 braille. We received such positive feedback that we were inspired to take this research out of the laboratory and release BrailleTouch to the public. We hope this software will provide a helpful alternative to the VoiceOver split tap keyboard, and that it will help improve the mobile computing experience for people in the blind community who use an iPhone. BrailleTouch is fully compatible with VoiceOver. It works on the iPhone 3GS through the iPhone 5, iPod touch models since the 3rd generation, and requires iOS 5.0 or a later operating system. BrailleTouch is only for the iPhone and iPod touch, and is not supported on the iPad. The first release is based on North American English Grade 1 Uncontracted Braille. You can choose to hear speech feedback for each character you type, each word you type, or both. More information about BrailleTouch is available on our website: http://brailletouchapp.com/ The website includes a User Guide and Frequently Asked Questions. You can also sign up for our email list, and we will notify you when we have an exact release date in January for the app. We are also on Twitter: https://twitter.com/brailletouch With the free version of BrailleTouch, you can try out the touchscreen braille keyboard and hear the text that you typed read back to you. The Messaging Upgrade allows you to send text messages, emails, and tweets, and costs US$9.99. The Clipboard Upgrade allows you to copy text from the braille keyboard to paste into other apps, and costs US$9.99. You must have the Messaging Upgrade first before you can get the Clipboard Upgrade. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. We are very excited about the upcoming release of BrailleTouch on the App Store. I hope that you will like BrailleTouch and find it useful.

RE: Griffin survivor case?
Hi, It is very similar to the Defender case. I personally like it better because it provides a cover for the camera lens, which the defender does not. It is a rather tight fit. My sighted wife put it on for me. The first time the triple click home wouldn't work and if you just pressed on the front edge near the top it would lock. She removed the case and put it together again and made sure everything was setting in just right and now it works great! This was on the iPod Touch 5th Gen.

Re: Introducing BrailleTouch - an iPhone app for typing in braille on your touchscreen
Hi Bret, Thanks. I missed the dollar amounts in her message, but found them later ontheir web site. I agree, far too expensive for a keyboard app. The fact that you have to buy the messaging upgrade to buy the clipboard upgrade is stupid. They should just offer the clipboard copy function for those who wouldn't mind copying and pasting into their messages.

Fleksy is only charging $4.95 and provides the ability to use the text in Emails, Messages, Twitter or copy it to the clipboard.

Re: Introducing BrailleTouch - an iPhone app for typing in braille on your touchscreen
Bret, I did not say I would discourage anyone from buying it, I said I wouldn't encourage them to buy it. There is a difference. If someone wants to spend their money, they shoud do it. But as I train people how to use these devices and am looked to by a lot of people for recommendations of apps, this will not be one of them at the current pricing structure. I hope that makes sense.

RE: wireless printer recommendations compatible with i devices and Windows pcs
Hi, Rick found a system to install the Airprint service on a Windows machine that is free. You have to follow a few links to find the one you want but if you follow the guys instruction, it works well. Here is the link: http://tinyurl.com/6xt5p9w HTH, Richard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sherrie Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2012 11:36 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: wireless printer recommendations compatible with i devices and Windows pcs I have an hP Officejet 4680 and discovered recently that it was wireless. A friend set it up to print wirelessly from my laptop. So I installed an app on my iPhone 5 called Printer Pro light to see if I could print from my phone on it. This is a free app that allows you to check to see if your printer is usable. It did print the test page and my husband says it looks good. Now to use it to print regular documents I need to download the regular Printer Pro for iPhone app that costs $4.95. Not a bad price but I am trying to decide if i really need to print from my phone since I don't have any documents there that are not on my laptop. But the Printer Pro app seems to be pretty good and reasonable. There were two HP apps that were free but they did not detect my printer. Go figure.

Here is a link I found when I googled Airprint compatible printers. Apparently this list was updated in November 2012. I have an HP C310A and C410A which are both multi-function and which are not listed, but I assume that the list isn't complete and possibly focuses more on the newer models. In any case, it will give you a pretty big list of models from various manufacturers which you can check out. http://ipod.about.com/od/usingios4/f/Airprint-Compatible-Printers.htm Good luck, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Did your credit card expiration date change or anything? Have you tried changing your password? I'd call Apple and see if they can help.

RE: focus 14 and i-device questions
Hi, Space with dots 2,3 or 5,6 will turn the rotor counter-clockwise and clockwise respectively. I do not believe there is a continuous reading option in braille, exactly. Someone said they slowed the reading speed down so it matched their braille reading speed. There is not a command to get to the top of the text, only the top of the screen.

RE: Two Apps ONE Name!
Welcome to a bug that came in with iOS 6. Please report this to: accessibil...@apple.com I have three dictionary apps all called dictionary, but visually they are different. This is clearly a VoiceOver bug. The more people that point it out may increase the likelihood of a fix coming in a future release. Now all you can do is keep track of where each app is.

The iphone has a native Camera app. I installed 1 Touch Camera. An app that takes pictures the moment you launch it. To my surprise the app is also labelled Camera. When I change its name to 1Touch Camera, then both apps are renamed! When I change the name of one app the other is automatically also renamed!! How do I ensure that the two apps have different names? I am using 4S with 6.01 the reason I particularly want different names for the two apps is that I can tell Siri to Launch 1Touch Camera and it will automatically start taking pictures! A voice command camera! But only if it has a unique name. This will not work if 2 apps have the same name.

RE: Braillepen Slim question
I've used a demo unit for a while and it will get rather warm. It stops getting warm once it is fully charged. I would not leave it plugged in over night in case it actually is getting too warm and perhaps over heat to a dangerous level. It should only take about 2 to 4 hours to fully charge I think.

RE: Help comparing:
I would say the iPod Touch 5th gen is almost a credit card and a half in length. Not much wider than a credit card though.
