ebook reader

[juanhernandez98]

Hi All,

 

So I buy books from wuxiaworld.com, in the pst I would send to kindle the
mobi file, but kindle no longer supports .mobi files.

 

When I try and send the epub version of the book send to kindle says it
doesn't support this format even though it is supposed to.  When I email or
use send to kkindle web, the epub files always fail.

 

I wanted to know what are some accessible epub readers for iphone?

 

And, I've  tried opening the book in apple books a nd it works, but I can't
seem to get the same reding experience as I get in my kindle app.  I just
want to be able to swipe down on the page and ihave it just read to end, but
when voice over gets to the bottom it then reads the progress of the book,
and stops, I have to change pages, can anyone of you give me any pointers on
how to best use apple books? Or point to a good guide on using apple books?

 

Thanks.

kindle app on iphone not showing some books right

[juanhernandez98]

Hi All,

 

I have a weird issue.  I just downloaded a book from kindle unlimited  and a
lot of the words are merged together, no spaces between like this: the
monster ranafter the player, and theplayer wasn't able to keep away from
themonster.

When I load the same book on my kindle for pc, on windows, and it reads just
fine.

 

I've tried restarting my phone, I'e reinstalled the app, but no luck.

 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

Best,

No fix for Telegram. For years, IOS users have repeatedly submitted feedback 
upon accessibility, without any real impact on the usability of the app. Come 
to your own conclusions, but to me, this is simply beyond any technological 
matter.

You are a funny man, my friend (big smile).

Actually, I am only halfway through the presentation, as yet.  It's a bit long 
and, to be honest, the keynote presentation format has gotten a bit tiresome.

I mean, Apple announces new stickers as though they have come up with a cure 
for cancer.  

And you know what?  Several of the app features they present as ground breaking 
can already be done on Android.  

Not that I am bitter but I think the reason list traffic is slow, this year, is 
because there was nothing truly exciting, at least, not from my perspective.  I 
have yet to watch the Vision Pro presentation but with a price tag at over 
$3000, it might as well not exist.

Wow, I do sound a bit bitter, eh?  (smile).

RE: A Question for Audible Subscribers

[juanhernandez98]

Hi Mark,

SO I am not sure tht I am having the same issue.  I am not sure when, but in 
the last 3-6 months, I can nolonger swipe right through the books in my 
library.  I'll swipe right maybe 5-8 times, swiping passed a book on each 
swipe, and when I think I get to the bottom of the screen instead of moving me 
to the next book, VoiceOver looses focus and kicks me back to the top of the 
screen.

I was using my friends google pixel 6 pro and the swipe through the books works 
just fine.

I've been meaning to report this to audible, just have been swamped with work 
and haven't had the time.

Is this the issue you are referring to?

Thanks.

I know I saw a post about this but I cannot locate the solutions, if any exists.

For some reason, even when in list view, VoiceOver seems to skip titles in my

Is there a solution to this problem?

Interestingly, I did not begin experiencing this issue until I merged my

when on the screen when using the rotter I get speech rate, read afer delay,
landmarks, and vertical nivagation.  Before I never got those options when
it worked correctly.  I know if I reset my apple tv to factory defaults, it
will go back to normal, but I don't know what I am doing to get it in this

pain.

Yeah but then another blind person will probably come and walk over it which is 
disgusting!!! In my area there’s lots of dog poo around on the street and you 
always feel extra apprehensive in case you step in it. Other people just go 
around or over it but of course blind people have no choice but to go through 
it if they are walking alone.

exactly, yet another point in the robot's favour. although here in the UK, I 
believe guide dog users are exempt from having to clear it up. I know they used 
to be anyway, but not sure if that is still the case now. 

 

and yet another point, is that the robot one should take you to exactly where 
you want to go, even if you have no idea of how to get there, and no sense of 
direction, where as that would probably be a heck of a lot to ask from the 
standard guide dog.

possibly, but unlike the real dog, one won't have to be so concerned about it 
getting too distracted by such attention, and the robot one could very easily 
even be programmed to say something along the lines of, "buzz off, I'm trying 
to do a job here, and you are not helping"

By nature, people are curious. Anything different will attract their attention. 
Rightly or wrongly, one of the things I like about being a guide dog owner is 
that I feel the attention tends to go to the dog rather than me. A robot guide 
dog is likely to draw just as much attention.

Hello:
I have a perplexing problem.
I am working with a client who has turned off the sound that your iPhone makes 
when you slide up from the bottom or down from the top of the screen. Does 
anybody know what that sound is called and how do you turn it back on?
I’ve never had this problem before. Mine has always worked and I never wanted

RE: Could a smart backpack replace guide dogs? Researchers think so. - The Washington Post

[juanhernandez98]

Agreed.  I have been a cane user since I was 8 years old, and once I lost my 
vision when I was 14, I felt my cane gave me a great deal of independence.  I 
have been a guide dog user for the last 23 years, and rarely use my cane, but I 
always carry a telescoping cane in my back pack for emergencies.  The key is 
independence, so how ever you reach it, that is what matters.  You should not 
be ashamed of how you get there.  After all, in this case, it isn’t the journey 
that matters but the fact you got there independently is what truly matters.  I 
love my guide dog, I’m on my forth, and for me, a guide dog is supreme for 
moving through the world, and also you are never alone.  That’s just my two 
cents. 



Best,

 

Juan

Hi, Sieghard,

 

I also am never embarrassed by my cane.  If people are staring at me, I feel 
that they are either awed, amazed, or wondering what I am doing!  Haha!  In 
addition, I feel very positive about using my cane and that we are educating 
the general public on how independent we can be.  I have no issue with people 
using guide dogs because they are absolutely wonderful and we are very 
fortunate to have choices in life.

 

Take care.

would be far more excited about travelling alone.

note apps

[juanhernandez98]

Hi All,

 

So I've used macjournal for years on the mac/iphone/ipad.  But I need
something that will sync my notes with my windows computers as well.  Are
there any such apps?

 

How has evernote accessibility come around? Some years ago it wasn't all
that great.

 

Best,

 

Juan

Alex has had that breathing sound since the beginning when it was on the Mac as 
the default voice.

When they brought it to the iPhone, they kept him breathing.

I knew one elderly woman in a retirement center who was losing her vision and 
learned how to access her Mac with VoiceOver and from hence forth, referred to 
Alex as her boyfriend, with a huge grin.

 

I prefer Alex when he is silent, as in not on my iPhone.

Just as with headsets, which voice to use is extremely subjective so you will 
always get a lot of different answers. I prefer the female SIRI voice, of 
course if I could have Eloquence that would be so fantastic, but I am afraid it 
will never happen.

I dislike Alex for the exact reason most who use him as their voice like him, 
he sounds or tries to sound "too human" and I really couldn't care less if my 
synthesizer can breath or not.

xcode files missing in navigator

[juanhernandez98]

HI All,

 

So I have some files missing from my xcode project.

 

Online it says that there is a filter bar at the bottom of navigator, with a
little clock icon button, and to uncheck it because that just shows most
recent.  How can we with voiceover access this?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Best,

 

Juan

Subject: Does this Cable for the iPhone Exist?

 

Hi to the list.

At one time, I had a patch chord that would connect to the iPhone through a 3.5 
inch adapter and then to the lightning plug through an adapter to the output of 
the iPhone..

The other end of this chord was a USB connector.

This chord would somehow magically allow the iPhone to be seen as an 
alternative input device, thereby allowing me to record directly from the 
iPhone onto the PC using any recording program.

I have looked and looked all over Amazon, but cannot find this chord again.

As I say, it was wonderful to be able to record the audio output from the 
iPhone right on to the PC.

Just curious if anyone knows about this type of chord, or what it might be 
called, or does it still exist?

Any assistance appreciated!  

Thanks.
