My Game Pass update

[Wayne Merritt]

All,
After trying to listen to audio from some of today's games with Game
Pass and being unable to, I have decided to cancel the free trial. I
have tried several times and have even closed and reopened the NFL
Mobile app with no success, as well as signing out and back in. I
tried to listen on my MacBook Pro with the same results. I didn't
receive a confirmation message via email that my trial had begun so I
am not sure it completely went through. On the upside, I have been
able to listen to many games with the low cost options such as Pro
Football Radio and Media and related apps, so I think that I will save
my money and go with these cheaper options. Each time I signed into
the Game Pass site on the Mac I was taken to a page to update my
account information, and when scrolling through it said that there was
no subscription, which makes me think that my  registration did not go
through last night.

For what all that is worth, and your mileage may vary when listening to games.

Wayne

Re: Ad blockers in iOS 9

[Wayne Merritt]

According to an article I read earlier, you have to install the ad
blocking software from the Ap Store in order for the ad blocking
options to show up in Settings/Safari. I've looked through the Safari
settings several times and couldn't find anything. Once an ad blocker
is installed, then the options show up. I think this is an Apple thing
where they won't show the options for something until you put it on
your device, like the iCloud Drive option for storing files. If you
don't use it, then the icon will not show on your home screen.

Re: movingpps with braille display

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. This is one thing that was finally added to iOS in iOS 9, you can
now move apps with a refreshable Braille display. How well this works
I do not know since I haven't tried moving anything yet, but there is
a Braille command to activate the edit mode and move apps, just like
the double tap and hold gesture for VoiceOver.

Re: Ad blockers in iOS 9

Thanks for the recommendations so far. Anyone know of any free ad
blockers? I don't mind paying a few buks for an app but free apps are
even better.

Re: My top iOS 9 Bugs

[Wayne Merritt]

I have no idea when it will be out, but I have heard from several
sources, including an NLS representative at the NFB convention, that
they are planning on updating the BARD Mobile app. They said soon, but
no idea when that will be. I expect sooner than later since they have
been working on this update for awhile now and have said publically
several times that they were working on an update, which will fix many
of the crashing issues people have been experiencing. We'll see.

Re: Bad news concerning gamepass and the NFL mobile app.

[Wayne Merritt]

Agreed. I tried to listen to the game last night with one of the free
apps, Pro Football Radio and Live Scores or something, and each
Steelers station I tried either had other programming on, or a
repeating message that said they were sorry but they could not
broadcast the game online due to contract obligations. Though I don't
want to, if truly no other way exists to listen to the games other
than GamePass then I just might bite the bullet and get GamePass. I'm
a huge football fan and would like to listen to games other than from
my home team without jumping through hoops.

This sounds like another focus issue with VoiceOver. I wish I knew of

Re: Trading up from an iPhone 6 to a 6S

[Wayne Merritt]

Christina,
Regarding backing up to iCloud, yes I am positive that I don't have a
large video. I don't have any videos on my phone. I was able to
restore all my stuff from iCloud to the new 6S last night, it just
took a few hours. The process of doing a restore was not immediately
clear to me so I updated to iOS 9.0.2, did a reset, and erase all data
and settings on the phone. Then restoring from iCloud was not a
problem. This was probably the long way around on my part, but I did
have a brand new 6S and wouldn't really lose anything important.

Re: Trading up from an iPhone 6 to a 6S

[Wayne Merritt]

In addition, when we traded in our old iPhones, which for me was a 6
and my wife had the 5S, we paid less for the monthly installment than
if we were paying for the full 6S. We both got the 64 GB black 6S. So
for me, the monthly cost of the phone is $5 added to the bill, and my
wife pays $16 for her phone. Pretty good I'd say. All in all, we're
saving between $20 and $40 per month compared to what we used to pay
on AT

3D Touch discovery and tip

[Wayne Merritt]

Good day. To those that have the iPhone 6S/+, if you have been
struggling with using the new 3D Touch gesture, I discovered something
that might help. I have listened to several podcasts on using 3D Touch
and though I learned how it worked, I was not able to get it to work
on my 6S. Until this morning when a coworker told me that with
VoiceOver running, you have to press harder on the phone to get the
gesture to work. I tried it and that has made a big difference for me.
I am now able to hard press on the phone icon and see the list of
recent contacts that I can call. I am still working on the difference
in pressure and timing between the peek an pop gestures, but that will
come with time and practice. It might also help to adjust the
sensativity in the 3D Touch settings from the medium default to light.

Hth,
Wayne

Re: entering account numbers and creditcard numbers

[Wayne Merritt]

One way to deal with it and have your number entered but keep it
secure would be to only enter your card/account number in the phone
number, but not your password/passcode. This is what I do for my
checking and credit card account numbers, since the account number is
way more digits than I can do comfortably on the phone in that short
time given. However, the passcode is usually 4 or 5 digits, which I
can do easily. This way my account stays secure, since if someone got
a hold of my phone, they would not know the passcode to use.

Trading up from an iPhone 6 to a 6S

[Wayne Merritt]

All,
My wife and I are seriously considering switching from AT to
T-Mobile in order to get the new 6S. Two questions, first for anyone
that has T-Mobile, how do you like them? What are the good and the bad
things you like? Next, what do I need to do with my iPhone 6 to
prepare for the transition to a 6S? I've looked in Settings/iCloud to
see when my last backup was and it says never. Is this a fluke or has
it truly never backed up before? I have iOS 9.0.1 on my 6 but really
don't want to restore from scratch and rebuild everything if I don't
have to.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
Wayne

Re: Trading up from an iPhone 6 to a 6S

[Wayne Merritt]

Thanks for the info Christina. We will ask about the plans this
afternoon when we go to the T-Mobile store. Regarding backups, I have
my phone set to backup regularly to iCloud, and pretty much just do
iCloud. I do backup with iTunes when I think of it, but that is not
nearly as often as with iCloud. Since the phone does this
automatically overnight, I am thinking that my files and stuff will be
restored on the 6S with no issues. It was somewhat shocking to see
that there was no backup in the iCloud settings. My wife and I have
separate iCloud accounts so space is not an issue. Also, my total
amount on iCloud on my own account is less than half of the 5 GB of
free storage.

Re: Grayed out ad blockers in Safari settings

Have you restarted your phone since installing/updating to iOS 9?
Perhaps that will fix the issue. I didn't find the option either until
I downloaded Peace, another ad blocking app, and then the content
blocker button showed up in Safari settings.

Re: Two small features in iOS 9 that I really I'm going to love

Hopefully it will expand to other areas and apps, like Music and
Messages, since I can see benefits in those too. This sure beats the
pinch gesture though, as well as the quadruple tap to copy the last
spoken bit of text.

Re: iCloud backup

[Wayne Merritt]

I believe you can go into Settings/Messages, and choose to have
messsages kept for certain lengths of time, such as a week, a month,
or forever. I have changed this to forever, since there are some work
related messages that I need access to. I made the change several
years ago and whenever I have updated my iPhone or gotten a new phone
and restored from iCloud, all of my messages have been there. So far
this hasn't blown up my iCloud storage since I still have over half of
the free 5 gigs available. I backup many other things to iCloud too,
so it's not all saved messages.

Re: Minor Bugs I have noticed in IoS 9

[Wayne Merritt]

I've reported the second bug to Apple Accessibility and would
encourage others experiencing the same to report it too. The focus
issues have happened to me in Tweetings, TweetList 4, and in the
Settings app. Granted, the first two apps may have been refreshing but
Settings does not refresh. Both times when I reported it, I got a
positive response back saying that they appreciated me letting them
know and have passed my information onto the respective people. Though
I love going through tweets in my twitter apps, these bad focus issues
have driven me away from Twitter for a little while until they are
fixed. Nothing's more annoying than being on tweet 300, retweeting or
favoriting something, and being put back at the top of the list and
having to make my way down to where I stopped. I have also had it
happen when going back to a twitter app from another app.

Re: Taking notes for meeting, Mac or iPad?

[Wayne Merritt]

For what it's worth, you can disable the trackpad on a MacBook by
holding the VO keys (Control and Option) and then turning two fingers
in the rodar gesture toward the left on the trackpad or counter
clockwise. This will disable the trackpad and prevent your focus from
jumping around if you touch the touchpad. The first few times I used
Text Edit on my MacBook Pro, I turned off the trackpad using this
gesture. I ran into the same issue you had with the trackpad. I
haven't had to type for a long period on the MacBook yet, but I do
like its keyboard and can see myself using it several hours at a
stretch.

Re: "Voice Braille Reader", New Leverage to Use Braille Files on iOS

[Wayne Merritt]

As others have said, the price is a bit prohibitive. I might use an
app to audibly read Braille files to me if that app were a few
dollars. However, $15 for an app is a little high for what the app
does or is expected to do, especially when I can read Braille files in
other apps that do not cost as much.

Re: Taking notes for meeting, Mac or iPad?

[Wayne Merritt]

That's true, it does disable trackpad commander. If VoiceOver is
running though, and trackpad commander is turned off, I don't think
that anything would happen with the focus of the VoiceOver cursor. I
may be wrong. I am a fairly new Mac user but in my limited experience,
if trackpad commander was off then my focus did not jump around if I
touch the trackpad while typing.

Re: iCloud backup?

I noticed this as well on my iPhone 6 the night that I updated. I
wonder if it showed that message because for as long as the
phone/device has had iOS 9, it has not been backed up. That's my
working theory but I don't exactly know why it reports that. I just
looked in my iCloud settings, and even though my iPhone probably
backed up last night, it said "unknown" under last backup. Weird.

Re: question about yahoo fantasy sports app

[Wayne Merritt]

I have also been using this app in my fantasy league and havent' found
any real bugs other than what Holly mentioned. It would be nice to be
able to search for a player by position in addition to by name, but
that is more of a general request and not necessarily an accessibility
issue. Great app though!

Attaching pictures to an email in iOS 9.1

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I need to send an email and attach two pictures to it. I
have written the text of the message on my Bluetooth keyboard, but
couldn't find a way to attach the file/pictures to the message. I have
saved the message in my drafts. I would like to put both pictures in
the same message rather than sending separate messages. How would I do
this?

Thanks,

Re: Is there a way to add whole albums to a playlist?

[Wayne Merritt]

On the iPhone in Apple Music, once you have searched for an artist and
are looking at the list of albums, you can also do a flick up/down to
More, double tap, then swipe right until VO says, "Add to Playlist."
You can then double tap on the playlist you want and the entire album
will be added. This also works for adding single tracks. I've done
this a lot when adding things to my playlists and it is super
easy--perhaps too easy! You can also add the item(s) to your library
using the More item in the actions rodar. However, I discovered over
the weekend that if you do this, and then go and look in your library
at the recently added screen, it lists only the songs added and not
the albums.

Re: iPhone seven rumors

[Wayne Merritt]

There have been rumors of smaller iPhones for the last few years and
it hasn't happened yet. Not to say that it won't but just that this
rumor has made the rounds a few times before. We won't know until next
June. Rest assured that there will be plenty of rumors though, and
many from good sources, like CNN or CNET. Given that it took Apple a
long time to finally get larger phones, and that many competitor
phones are larger than the 6S+, I don't know how likely the smaller
iPhone rumor is, but who knows.

Re: renaming photos

[Wayne Merritt]

I think you need to do a 2 finger double tap and hold to be able to
rename. Also, if you name a photo and then take more pictures, are the
names maintained? I had heard some time ago that if you renamed some
photos and then took more pictures, that the named photos changed
positions and the names did not stick.

Re: To buy a 6 or not to buy a 6, was, iPhone seven rumors

[Wayne Merritt]

The days of getting a new phone on carrier contract are fading fast.
Like was said before, if you want a phone on contract then hit those
carriers quick. My wife and I got new 6S's in September through
T-Mobile and signed onto the new lease program, paying a certain
amount per month. If we had waited until the iPhone 7 next fall, then
we would probably have had to get on the lease program through AT,
which would have been much more expensive. T-Mobile let us trade in
our prior phones which brought the monthly cost way down. For
instance, I am paying $5 per month to lease the 6S, and my wife is
paying $15 a month I think. I think that contracts are only offered in
stores but that will likely disappear in the next 6-12 months and
everyone will be leasing--whether you want to or not.

Re: An iPhone Functioning as a CCTV?

[Wayne Merritt]

At one time there was an app called Zoom Reader from AI Squared. I'm
not sure if this is what you are looking for. It was released a ffew
years ago and at that time cost $20. Though it does have some
self-voicing reading functions, its main purpose I believe was to
magnify text like a CCTV.

Re: Cannot delete text or email messages

[Wayne Merritt]

On the Plus, are you sure that your rodar is set to Actions? Even if
it is not, I'm pretty sure you can double tap the Edit button in the
upper left or upper right corner, and then double tap the delete
button beside the message you want to delete. Using this method, you
will be asked to confirm.

Re: Reporting Battery Status When Charging, Does It Give False report Too?

[Wayne Merritt]

>From my own experience, I haven't had any major issues when leaving
the phone plugged in even after it reaches a full charge. I plug mine
in overnight, and figure that it spends most of the night at afull
charge. Those with more knowledge in iPhone batteries will have to
comment, but I don't think it does any long term damage to leave it
plugged in. If you were to leave it plugged in all the time and it was
constantly on AC power, that might be something different.

Re: iTunes gift card on a family share account

Thanks for the explanation. Next question: I'm subscribed to TuneIn
Radio Premium. My next payment is scheduled for the 15th. When that
date comes, will the iTunes gift card balance be used first before my
credit card, or would the card be used since I set it as the primary
payment method?

Re: Possible focus bug

[Wayne Merritt]

I've also experienced it running 9.1 on an iPhone 6S. Not a huge deal
since when it happens, I just touch the center of the screen and
Voiceover usually reads an app from a home screen, when it decides to
work. I've updated to 9.2 but haven't used it enough to tell if the
bug persists.

Automatically entering extra numbers when making a phone call

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. Can someone refresh me on how to automatically enter extra
numbers when making a phone call, such as when entering numbers in an
automated phone system? I know that I can use commas to separate each
menu choice, but I recall hearing a way to enter a group of numbers at
once with the pound key, and then double tapping to enter the next
group of numbers. I am training a couple of students on how to do this
and want to make sure I've got my information right. The extra numbers
would be added onto the end of a phone number in the contacts. I use
this method to enter account numbers for my bank and credit card but
want a refresher on the process.

Thanks,
Wayne Merritt

Re: question about setting up OnCallDefender app found on Applevis

[Wayne Merritt]

Try the app called Blue Light, which sounds like it does the same
thing, allowing you to contact the nearest EMS services. When I got it
it was free but there may be a subscription now. The app is very
accessible, though there may be more exploring involved in the initial
sign-up screens.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: Playing albums in order

[Wayne Merritt]

If you go to the now playing screen, which is above the tabs at the
bottom of the window, look for the shuffle button and double tap to
turn it off. It sounds like Music is shuffling all of the tracks. If
this has already been mentioned then my apologies.

Re: Today View in Notification Center

[Wayne Merritt]

I think it takes afew seconds for all of your widgets to update, since
I experience a short delay as well. In my case, I've got sports
scores, calendar events and weather from Dark Sky. I can't just swipe
through the info immediately when I bring up the Today view. If the
delay is more than 5 to 10 seconds,  then you might consider removing
some widgets from the Today view. For what it's worth, using an iPhone
6S with iOS 9.2.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: apple TV or google chromecast?Apple TV or Google Chromecast?

[Wayne Merritt]

Coming to this late due to being on vacation, but the other big thing
is that with ChromeCast ,you are limited to what you can do with the
service. However, with Apple TV, it looks like you have access to
everything and everything therefore speaks with VoiceOver. I don't
have either, though I have used Chromecast apps to cast things to my
in-laws' TV. I have also observed that I don't have that many apps
which can use Chromecast. My wife and I are highly considering getting
an Apple TV later in the year when our money evens out. It seems well
worth the cost.

Re: I'm stumped with listening to audio on the NFL Mobile app.

[Wayne Merritt]

I use one of the many Pro Football apps until October or November when
I realized that I wasn't getting all the games that I wanted to get,
mainly due to stations/teams being blocked from streaming by the
league. I then started a 7 day trial with TuneIn Radio Premium and
have been using it ever since. This gets you access to all NFL and MLB
games, plus audio books and streaming music for $8 a month in US
dollars. I'm not sure if I will continue in the off season but it has
been great being able to listen to any team broadcast I wanted to
hear. Recently they added NHL game streaming to their app, though this
is not in the premium section so I don't know if it is available to
anyone. Hopefully they will add NBA game streaming at some point, that
would be good to have.

Re: Lost iPhone 6S - insurances do sometimes pay

[Wayne Merritt]

I was able to get a replacement for my wife's 5C last year from our US
carrier, at that time it was AT, due to a faulty lightning cable
which messed up the phone and we could not get it to power on even
trying other lightning cables. That faulty cable did something to the
port. Anyway, the insurance company through AT sent us a replacement
phone within two days. It is definitely worth paying the extra cost
for the carrier insurance or home insurance in your case. You may
never need it, but you will sorely miss the insurance if you don't
have it at the critical point.

Re: Major Problem, iPhone 6

[Wayne Merritt]

I've observed that Direct Touch is appearing more and more in my
rodar, such as in the TuneIn Radio app. I often come across it. What
are some examples of where it can be useful? I'm not completely
understanding how it would work or benefit me to turn on in the rodar.

Thanks,

Re: Be My Eyes

[Wayne Merritt]

Similar to Tom, I don't use Be My Eyes often but it is there when I
need it. It is like having a volunteer in my pocket, available
anytime. Yesterday I showed a student I am working with how to use it
and he was blown away. I think this app still has its place, even if
it is for the person who doesn't want to pay a fee or subscription but
wants to be able to access help anytime of the day or night.

Re: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Wayne Merritt]

In AiPoly, in order to hear the descriptions read continuously, you
will have to turn VoiceOver off. This is after you hit the button to
recognize an object. I have had mixed success with it, some things it
gets right and some, well, not so much. It identified a can of diet
soda as lotion, medicine, and a bank note. It is entertaining to
change the setting for object recognition to likelihood and fun, just
to hear what it says even if the object is identified wrong.

Re: Talking goggles

[Wayne Merritt]

I have tried the free version of Goggles and have not had much
success. After a few shots the app crashes. Perhaps I will try the
paid version to experience the better recognition. It sounds like that
one is working fine. I have an iPhone 6S with iOS 9.2.

Re: Command for showing and hiding keyboard with braille display

[Wayne Merritt]

Note that if you hide the keyboard, and then use your iOS device
without the Braille display, the virtual keyboard may still be hidden.
At least this is how it works when using a Bluetooth wireless
keyboard. The virtual keyboard does not appear again until you use
that same command mentioned to show the keyboard. This can be
concerning for someone who doesn't know what's going on, which is why
I mention it here as a friendly reminder.

Re: Siri

[Wayne Merritt]

One big problem with Siri which needs to be addressed is it cannot
infrer context. For instance, if I ask Siri if it will rain today, I
get the answer that I wanted. If I then say, "How about tomorrow,"
Siri does not know what I am talking about. I haven't done extensive
testing on this, but there have been times when context has come up in
my chats with Siri. I am gradually using Siri more, though I am still
used to doing things on the phone manually. I think if Siri's ability
to understand context, compound sentences/requests, and other
conversation things that we use everyday were to be improved, then
Siri could equal other tools like Alexa in its usefulness.

Re: Update: Re: A Question Regarding Twitter Hash Tags

[Wayne Merritt]

Mark,
Thanks ever so much for the app recommendation. I've been wanting an
app like this that would notify me from a hash tag for awhile now.
This will come in handy for the local bus company when they send out
bus route changes or delays and use a hash tag on each alert. I can
also think of other uses.

Re: IOS 10-- what's new in accessibility ?

[Wayne Merritt]

Donna,
Just my own speculation here, since Apple ultimately has the power on
deciding these things. Since the iPhone 5 or newer is supported this
year with iOS 10, my random guess would be that the 5S will be around
until 2018 or thereabouts. As said before though, Appple could jump
from the 5 to the 6 next year in the oldest model supported, one never
knows. I thought that last year would be the final year of the 5S.
However, if the iPhone 7 comes out this fall, then the 6/6 Plus would
be the "free" phone this year.

Using the Disney Movies Anywhere app to get audio descriptions

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I am wanting to go see Finding Dory this weekend at my
local theater. I got the Disney Movies Anywhere app some time ago. I
heard recently that Finding Dory was the first release movie where one
can get audio descriptions in the theater with the app. I was
wondering if anyone has done this yet, or used the app with other
Disney/Pixar movies on DVD or TV to get descriptions while watching
the movie? I am looking at going to a theater which does not offer any
descriptions at all, so want to be sure the app will work before the
moment of truth at the theater. I'm using an iPhone 6S with iOS 9.3.2.

Thanks,
Wayne

Re: Can no longer like or dislike videos with official YouTube app

[Wayne Merritt]

I have had trouble with the iPhone YouTube app too. My temporary work
around is to use the YouPlayer app, which I believe is free. With the
YouPlayer app, you can accessibly like/unlike videos, as well as have
access to rodar actions in your list of liked videos. Hopefully
YouTube will fix their appf or liking videos since it is a hassle to
go to another app to like something but it works.

App that reports the nearest intersection

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I am looking for a GPS app which will report the nearest
intersection. I don't need route planning or anything as advanced as
BlindSquare or Seeing Eye GPS. I would like for this app to be free
but am willing to pay a few bucks if needed. I used to use Sendero
Look Around, and that was awesome about giving me the nearest
intersection. The last few times that I have tried it though, the app
says, "No nearest cross street data currently available." A friend
told me about iMove which I have downloaded, but that apparently just
gives addresses on the current street. I am looking for an app that I
can use on the bus when traveling down a long street in order to
figure out where I need to get off. The stop that I want is between
two major stops and has been hard for me to estimate. iMove sounds
good but since it doesn't tell the nearest intersection it is not
exactly what I am wanting. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Wayne Merritt

Re: Best app to read Bookshare books

[Wayne Merritt]

There are probably others, but the two that come to mind are Read2Go
(note how it is written) for $20 and Voice Dream Reader for $10. Voice
Dream offers many more features, such as reading/reviewing other
document types, and the Read2Go app is strictly BookShare books. I
don't know about Voice Dream for getting BookShare content but I've
heard that it is easy. As for Read2Go, it is easy to search and
download books from BookShare. Note that in the Read2Go app, books are
read using a TTS voice. Both apps work with Braille displays.

Re: Fleksy and a podcast or chat about how to use

[Wayne Merritt]

When using the regular Fleksy app , I had major issues in getting back
to the regular US keyboard. I know that you double tap on the globe or
emogy icon, but that for whatever reason never worked consistently for
me. I've deleted Fleksy from my phone and hope that someone creates an
equally easy third party keyboard for the blind to use, like Fleksy
but easier to use. I still have the separate Fleksy VO app on my phone
and will never delete it. I can write messages quickly and confidently
in that app. I understand their desire to have everything in one app,
but since the main Fleksy app has been giving blind folk lots of
trouble, I wish they would admit defeat and bring back a separate app
for the blind/low vision. OH well.

Re: App that reports the nearest intersection

[Wayne Merritt]

Thanks Christina. The thing is, BlindSquare costs $30 and aside from
that one bit of information, I would not use it for any actual
traveling. Since I don't often go out and travel on my own, paying $30
for one feature in an app does not seem very worth it to me. If I need
driving direction for my wife to use in the car, then I will most
often use Google Maps.

Re: Apple Music

[Wayne Merritt]

I love it too. I have a few CD's at home that are out of print and
which I could not find on Apple Music, but fortunately I transferred
those songs to my computer a long time ago so they are already in my
collection. I will still never get rid of those CD's though. Anyway,
there have been a few artists that I have not found all of the albums
for, but perhaps those albums were also out of print. I am amazed as
to what I can find on Apple Music--anything! If I hear a song or hymn
at church, I go home to look it up and find it on Apple Music. I still
have Pandora on my phone, since there are many songs I remember from
20 years ago which I don't know the names of, which I have heard on
Pandora. However, after I hear it on Pandora, I will then know what to
look up on Apple Music. I rarely use Pandora anymore.

 Hi All,

 I signed up for apple music a little over a month ago and everything

 had been unable to add any music to my library. I would tap the

 added and could not be downloaded.

 Now this morning, suddenly the music I couldn't download before is
 downloading, but I am getting a screen that is asking me to join apple

Re: gps

I believe that BlindSquare can be used with a Braille display. When it
is set to output to a display, any messages which would have been
spoken will appear on the display. I don't recall how to do this but
perhaps someone else knows.

Re: Traffic Alerts

[Wayne Merritt]

If you use the Google search app, and enable Google Now, you can view
the Now cards that have different information below the search area,
like traffic, weather, and news. To do this you will have to grant
Google access to your location regardless if the app is running or
not. If you want to know if traffic is light or heavy before you leave
for work or home then this might be a good option. The Google Maps app
will also give you a word about traffic after you start the navigation
part, by saying that "traffic is light and your way is clear," in the
beginning of giving you directions.

Re: How can I protect my notes?

[Wayne Merritt]

It has been leaked in some news articles that in iOS 9.3 a user will
be able to use their Touch ID to secure their notes. Unfortunately,
that is not yet the case. And, before anyone jumps on me for revealing
beta information, this has been widely reported by several major tech
sites/publications in the last month.

Re: New post published iPhone 7 with no headphone jack at all?

[Wayne Merritt]

This issue has been talked about off and on over the last 2 months or
so on this list. At one point, someone circulated a petition to keep
the headphone jack. If interested, search the list archives.

Re: Interesting observation re my problems with fingerprint recognition

[Wayne Merritt]

Kimmer,
Place the finger you use for Touch ID on the home button. Press the
home button but leave your finger there. In theory, the phone will
unlock and you will be placed on your home screen or wherever you last
left it. What you mentioned before about pressing the power/lock
button while a finger is on the home button would also work.

Sorry you're having so much trouble,
Wayne

Re: Google Maps+Blindsquare or Seeing Eye GPS?

[Wayne Merritt]

I have no problems in using BlindSquare with Google Maps, though
dealing with two different voices giving you information is
interesting at times. I prefer Google Maps over other map apps.
BlindSquare is a lot cheaper than Seeing Eye and according to a
coworker who also has it, BlindSquare puts out updates more frequently
than the other as well. I can't vouch for this since I only have used
BlindSquare.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: Tune In Radio

[Wayne Merritt]

I have both and from what I understand, ooTunes is always recording
things, but with TuneIn you have to physically tell it to start
recording. I have never gotten any of the ooTunes recordings and named
them, so can't really speak to that. I tend to spend most of my time
listening to ooTunes but I have used TuneIN during the recent NFL
season and to listen to a few radio stations. In the case of one
station, I used ooTunes to listen to it all the time until the station
no longer worked. I found it on TuneIn and deleted it from ooTunes.
The station may have changed it's streaming address or credentials,
not sure why it stopped working on ooTunes, but oh well. I do like
ooTunes though since it can connect to nearly any sation regardless of
the station's network affiliation, like CBS, ABC, and so forth. With
TuneIn, there are some radio networks that are banned, such as Clear
Channel.

 TuneIn Radio is my favorite radio app. It is completely accessible with
 VoiceOver.

 I think it is worth the $1.99 to remove the ads, but it does have a free
 option.

 If you set up a free TuneIn account, I believe even with the free
 version, then your favorite stations are saved so if you need to install
 it on a new device, you won't have to select your favorites again.

Re: iphone 6s fingerprint reader

[Wayne Merritt]

I've had issues with my 6 with it not recognizing my fingerprint. It
was one of those things that happened for while and then it worked for
awhile. Since I've had the 6S though, rarely have I had issues with
having either my thumb or index fingers not recognized. Usually when
it occurs, my fingers are a little damp or dirty. The Touch ID sensor
is extremely fast though. More often, I just want to check the time
but I use one of my unlocking fingers, and after a beat the phone is
unlocked, when I just wanted to look at the lock screen.

Re: Fw: sendero lookaround app

[Wayne Merritt]

That explains a lot. I hope they can get it back in the App Store
since it is a good little app that does its job well. Unfortunately
for them, I have moved onto BlindSuare for finding out where I am, and
am glad that I did. I know not everyone has the funds for BlindSquare,
but it is worth the cost. Now I know why many other people have been
yammering on about this app for so long.

Resume template apps

[Wayne Merritt]

All,
I'm looking for an app to help me write my resume and/or one that has templates 
of resume types. It would also help if it had cover letter templates. Finally 
if I could save my resumes to Dropbox that would be awesome. Any ideas?

Re: Reading with a Braille display in the Kindle app

[Wayne Merritt]

Haven't really been paying attention to this thread. I experienced the
same behavior this morning when reading a book in iBooks, where I read
a whole page and then my Focus 14 Blue jumped back to the top of the
same page and started reading again. I wonder if turning off auto page
turn/scrolling would help. I'm using an iPhone 6S with iOS 9.2.1.

Re: Gps

[Wayne Merritt]

I've had BlindSquare for the last week and have loved it. BlindSquare
is not a turn-by-turn navigation app, but you can use it with
Apple/Google Maps to get directions. I love how it senses whether I am
traveling by bus, car or on foot and adjusts the announcements of
streets and places accordingly. It is a little expensive for an app,
but is well worth the cost if you want to know what streets and Points
of Interest are around. If you have FourSquare/Swarm, Uber or Lyft on
your phone you can use BlindSquare in conjunction with them as well.

Re: Resume template apps

[Wayne Merritt]

All,
I realize that I am better off in doing a resume on the computer or
with a more established word processor like Pages/Word. I was looking
for an app to compile/store several different resumes for different
jobs that I may want to apply for. I do have a couple of resumes that
I have saved in my Dropbox folder, but was also looking for another
way of accessing those resumes in addition to Dropbox. Funny how even
in this advanced tech world we live in, we are still bound to the
computer for important documents like resumes. Oh well. For anyone
else wondering, I did find a couple of entries of resume apps on
AppleVis, which are:
Smart Resume Pro
http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/business/smart-resume-pro-resume-and-cv-designer-qrayon-llc
Resume Maker - Pro CV Designere
http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/resume-maker-pro-cv-designere
Of the two, Resume Maker looks to be more like what I am looking for,
at least from the app description and comments.

Re: App that reports the nearest intersection

[Wayne Merritt]

thanks to those that have replied to my original query. I am looking
into Ariadne GPS and it looks like a good option. Now I just need to
get it to work the way that I want. Though it does not report the
nearest intersection, it can alert you when you approach and reach a
favorite point. I have set the bus stop that I get off at as a
favorite. I haven't been able to ride the bus since early last week so
I haven't tested this alert but I will get a chance to today. I will
also check out the native Maps app to see if that reports the nearest
intersection.

Re: Blindfold wildcard?

[Wayne Merritt]

That's for sure. However, other games may be cheaper, such as for the
Tile puzzle game, the unlimited coins option is $6. I think the newer
games are cheaper, but the price can range from $5 to $15 per game.
This is why I don't get the unlimited unless it is a game that I am
addicted to. If you only play a few times and that's it then it's not
worth it.

Re: Moving to another provider

[Wayne Merritt]

A little late on this, but wanted to share an ap. I heard of an app
some time ago called Carrier Compare, which is free and shows the
difference in carrier data speeds based on your location. I don't have
an iTunes link but if you search for Carrier Compare in the App Store
you will find it. Regarding the carrier to choose, I would recommend
T-Mobile. I'm not in CA but T-Mobile offers lower prices to AT My
wife and I were with AT and used my work discount to bring the price
down to around $170 per month for phone and data service. With
T-Mobile, I can't use a work discount, but I'm still paying around
$175 for the same thing. Actually, T-Mobile offers much better data
plans than AT since T-Mobile will roll over data month to month up
to 12 months, unlike AT which will only roll over 2 months before
you lose the data. We get 10 gigs of data plus 10 gigs of data stash
per month, which basically means that we've got unlimited data since
we're never going to use all that. My wife does  a lot of gaming and
streaming and she has gotten up to 1 or 2 gigs in a month. I stream
the radio and some videos, but also do downloading of books and apps,
and my top data amount has been less than a gig. Plus, we have the
option of upgrading or changing phones three times for free per year.

Just my thoughts,
Wayne

Re: Accessible game of checkers for the iPhone:

I seem to recall one several years ago called Checker-Wise, which I
believe cost a couple of dollars. I think it as accessible but I don't
remember off hand.

Good luck,

Re: iOS Dice App

[Wayne Merritt]

There is also the iFarkle app, which comes in a free version and one
for $0.99 US. This is completely accessible and is a stand-alone game,
verses Diceworld which is a series of dice games. I've spent many
hours with iFarkle, free and paid.

Re: Blindfold wildcard?

[Wayne Merritt]

I like the games and have gotten many. When I first got them, I bought
a lot of the upgrades in order to support the developer. However,
since then, I haven't really played any of the games. The only game
that they have released which I am totally addicted to is the recent
Blindfold Tile Puzzle, which has variations of the popular 2048 and
Threes games. I usually keep the Blindfold games in a folder of their
own, but I quickly noticed that Tile Puzzle would be one that I
couldn't stop, so I moved that one to page 1 of my home screens. It's
a good time waste when waiting on a ride or at home. For those that
don't know what it is, you move tiles around a 4-by-4 grid and combine
tiles with the same number value. It is very much a math geek number
game, but I love numbers and patterns. I understand what others are
saying about tnot wanting to keep buying upgrades over many different
games, but really how is that any different from other apps? I've
downloaded several mainstream apps, granted from different developers,
but which had a lite version and you had to get an in-app purchase to
unlock other features. Or, consider the Nature Space app; if I want to
buy other nature sounds to use for falling asleep, I have to buy them
separately. To each their own.

Re: Blindfold wildcard?

[Wayne Merritt]

Some of the Blindfold games have "starter packs" which unlock
features. Others use coins to play, in which case you can buy a
certain number of coins for a certain cost, like 20 coins for $0.99 or
40 coins for $2.99. Or, there is an unlimited coins option which is
usually the most expensive at between $5 and $10 per game; these are
in US dollars. Unfortunately you have to buy packs or coins for each
game you get. Though I bought a lot of the starter packs initially,
these days I only get packs or coins for the games that I know I will
play farely often. It does add up over time.

Re: Handwriting

[Wayne Merritt]

The game was called DoItWrite, which is all written together. I use
the handwriting feature to open apps all the time. Though you can use
it in other parts of the OS, I typically just stick to the home
screens since I would rather use the virtual keyboard than write the
letters.

Questions on BlindSquare and looking up information for points of interest

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I will be going to a different city this coming weekend and
want to look up some points of interest in that city. BlindSquare is
set to my home city. How can I do this? I thought I could do a search
using the search button, but when I type in the city/state or address
of the hotel where I will be staying, the app thinks that the address
is in my own city. I've heard that I can simulate a different location
but I'm not sure how this would work exactly or how to use simulation
mode to get a feel for what's around me. Any help would be
appreciated. Using BlindSquare 3.41.0 on an iPhone 6S with iOS 9.2.1.

Thanks,
Wayne

Re: Why do we want to use a physical keyboard?

[Wayne Merritt]

First of all, you are asking if your opinion is wrong, and I would say
no. Personally, I choose to use the virtual keyboard most times. It
does take a little longer if I use one finger to type but it gets the
job done. I have also used a Bluetooth keyboard, Braille screen input,
and the no longer available Fleksy VO app to type in different
situations. Usually I will use the on screen virtual keyboard, but if
I have to write a longer text I use Fleksy VO. I have also used the
Perkins keyboard on my Focus 14 Blue Braille display. If I were
teaching someone that has never used an iOS device before, I would
train them at first on the virtual keyboard, since I think there is a
high value in using what comes natively on the device. After they have
mastered the virtual keyboard and understand cursor movement, then I
might move them up to a Bluetooth keyboard or Siri, but only after
they have mastered the virtual keyboard. Having options is great, but
what is even better is being able to choose among those options in
different situations or environments, and not just always relying upon
one or two methods because that is what one is used to or has always
used. I have worked with students before that always use Siri, and
getting them to switch to a different method can be like pulling
teeth. Some people can't switch due to various limitations. I will
often ask them, "So how well will Siri work if you are in a noisy
place or waiting for the bus and there's lots of traffic?" Anyway,
sorry for the rant; just brought to mind teachable moments and
different skill levels and people.

Just my thoughts,
Wayne

Re: Questions on BlindSquare and looking up information for points of interest

[Wayne Merritt]

Thanks very much Richard, that helps a lot. Is it possible to enter a
city or town name as a location and get information about that
city/town, or do I need an address to search for? The town that I will
be going to is not that big.

Re: Blindfold wildcard?

If you are talking about bingo from the Blindfold games series, it is
called Blindfold Bingo. The developer is Kid Friendly Software. Their
website is:

Re: Football game

[Wayne Merritt]

There used to be a football game back in the early 90's that ran in
DOS, where you could choose any of the current or past NFL teams,
along with the top 10 college teams that year, to play each other. I
think only pro played pro and college verses college, but still. In
that game, you could call the plays for both offense and defense, just
offense, and one other way. That was totally fun since I could play
the 77 Cowboys verses the 92 Cowboys, or many other combinations. I
wish something like that would be made for iOS where you could call
the plays and defensive formations, but that would be very intricate
and complex. It would probably go beyond the scope of the Blindfold
games.

Re: got my hands on apple watch

[Wayne Merritt]

Other than possible health tracking benefits, I would say wait as
well. Sure, it must be handy and cool to check things from the watch
that you would normally also check from the phone. However, you are
dealing with amuch smaller screen area, and the watch still seems like
a nice accessory to me. Perhaps the second generation will make it
more functional.

Re: Blind Square V. Sendero Seeing Eye.

[Wayne Merritt]

Dianne,
Have you tried wearing earbuds, where one side is open to traffic and
environmental sounds, and the other you have an earbud in and are
getting information from BlindSquare? I wear hearing aids as well and
this setup has worked great for me.

Re: Blind Square V. Sendero Seeing Eye.

[Wayne Merritt]

I like having BlindSquare in one earbud since part of my daily trip
home has me riding on the bus and I don't want to disturb other
passengers. Plus, I can listen to tunes while I'm getting information
from BlindSquare. The problem I have with bone conduction headphones
is most of the ones I have looked at, don't fit my large head. And
they are not adjustable like headphones. I do also take the earbud out
before crossing streets.

As stated earlier though, different strokes for different folks.

Re: VO not announcing typing in the Note app

[Wayne Merritt]

It sounds like you have typing echo set to nothing on the hardware
keyboard. And, that perhaps you have accidentally hit the hide
keyboard button on your keyboard. This would cause the
software/virtual keyboard not to show up. If you are using the Apple
wireless keyboard, the hide keyboard button is in the upper right
corner I believe.

iOS 9.3, Apple Music and iTunes Match

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings all. I updated my iPhone 6S to iOS 9.3 last night. Last fall
I had signed up for iTunes Match in order to keep all my songs in a
digital locker in the cloud and take with me to future phones. I've
done several iOS updates since then without a problem. Last night
though, to my utter shock, nearly all of the 4,200 songs in my
collection, along with the around 800 songs that I have added to
playlists from Apple Music, had disappeared. Over the last few months,
I have setup several playlists for different things, like love songs,
worship music, Christmas music, and "all songs" which has everything
in my collection. It was quite a shock to see the All Songs playlist
go from around 4,200 songs to 139 songs, or the Hard and Heavy
playlist go from 330 songs to just 2 songs. I've got the 4,200 songs
on an external drive, but not the Apple Music that I've saved. I've
spent a long time tediously deleting what I don't want from my
collection and don't look forward to doing it all over again. Short of
doing a complete restore, does anyone have any ideas how I can get my
music back from iTunes Match? I'm not sure if this is specific to
iTunes Match or Apple Music since I subscribe to both. Whatever the
case, it is extremely frustrating and makes me wonder if iTunes Match
is worth the time, especially if the songs are going to suddenly
disappear after 5 or 6 months.

On a related note, does anyone use Google Play Music and if so how do
you like it? What do you like and not like about Play Music? It looks
similar to the Apple offerings, except that with Play Music, you can
store up to 50,000 songs for free. That alone is tempting.

Best,
Wayne

Re: What you need to know about the 4-inch iPhone SE | Macworld

[Wayne Merritt]

I can see the iPhone SE being the entry iPhone and the bigger phones
being the featured products. Which means that it may take awhile
before 3D Touch is included on the smaller phone, since Apple wants to
attract people to the larger phones. Plenty will buy the small ones,
but plenty more will hold out for the fall release of the iPhone too.
This all depends on what Apple announces and chooses to do, but it
makes sense.

Re: An app for news from Associated press

[Wayne Merritt]

Probably on both counts. I would imagine that you could also get A.P.
news coverage through the native News app in iOS 9.

Re: Mega discovery in 9.3

[Wayne Merritt]

What I do is when my phone is in portrait orientation, I put 4 fingers
on the screen vertically and then swipe to the right or left. This has
worked for me every time so far, that is when I remember that I'm
doing a 4 finger and not a 3 finger swipe, grin. I have noticed a
small delay between when I do the swipe and when the apps change. I
have also noticed that unlike in the app switcher, the order of the
apps does not change. So if you have clock, phone, calendar, and then
BARD Mobile from left to right, if you go from BARD Mobile to the
calendar, those apps stay in the same position. This is different from
the app switcher since once you double tap an app, it is transposed or
switches places with whatever the app to the left of the home screen
was.

Re: iOS 9.3, Apple Music and iTunes Match

[Wayne Merritt]

Thanks all for the input. An update on my situation. Someone at work
told me to sign out and then back in to my account, which I did. I
have also turned off iCloud Library in Settings, and for covering
bases, also turned off Apple Music and then back on. No change. Grant,
thanks for your ideas and suggestions. I haven't really used Time
Machine on my Mac yet but this situation gives me a good reason too. I
have made a Genius Bar appointment at my local Apple Store this
Saturday to try and sort everything out. Since I did not find my music
on the Mac, which was very disappointing, I'm beginning to think that
I will have to establish my library and collection all over again. A
tedius process to be sure. I have wondered during this process if one
of the changes in iOS 9.3 might have caused part of the issue. I
recall reading an article in January, which was widely circulated by
the way, about the 9.3 beta. It said that Apple would be giving people
more control over their music so that they did not have to use iTunes
to manage music as much. I'm wondering if in the process of enabling
this control, my entire library was mistakenly zapped. Anyway, that
will be one of many questions that I ask the Apple Genius, along with
what the point is of having iTunes Match if my music disappeared or
will disappear after 6 months. I do have a few albums which I cannot
find on Apple Music, but if I can keep a copy of the music on my Mac
and carry that with me from phone to phone, then that might serve my
purposes. With Apple Music turned back on, I can at least stream
albums and currated playlists from Apple, which is tiding me over for
now. Though I miss the vast collection. I have started to look into
Google Play Music as an alternative, but the one big thing that Google
doesn't have which Apple Music excells in are the curated playlists,
such as "intro to," "deep cuts from," and so forth.

Sincerely,
Wayne

Re: Trouble with 9.3 activating iPhone

This may not help much, but if you have an Apple Store in your area

Re: The control center

[Wayne Merritt]

Gerardo,
You can probably already have such a widget in the notification
center, depending on which Twitter client you use. Some let you tweet
straight from the notification center. The items in the control center
strike me as more related to utilities and media, whereas the
notification center is customizable to what you want to see in there,
like news, weather, sports, stocks, and so forth.

Re: Voice Dream Reader 4 is in the App Store

[Wayne Merritt]

This may sound like an obvious question but here goes. I've updated to
VDR 4.0. I enabled sync and my files are in the process of syncing to
iCloud. Do I need to keep my focus in the app, or will it do the
syncing in the background or if the phone is locked? I did these
things last night and when I looked this morning, it still said
"unavailable" by each filename. I'm thinking that I need to keep Voice
Dream in focus while everything syncs. I don't have that many files
but I would have thought things would have synced by now.

 to read at 2x speed with no loss of comprehension.
 - Sentence mode which pauses at every sentence. Useful for beginning
 readers.
 - Repeat document.
 - Option to rewind to beginning of the last sentence when you pause.

 New Voices
 - Alex, free high quality voice in iOS 9.
 - New premium child voices from Acapela in US, UK, and Australian
