Re: new update to Voice Dream Reader 2.9.0
Do you think this app will ever be able to play audio Daisy books? I would love to be able to access and copy books across from drop box and play them right inside this app. Thanks On 24 Oct 2013, at 15:15, Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: I haven't tried it just yet, but this latest update promises to be a very nice one for sure. The below are the changes in the latest version which I just saw in the App Store. At the end of the message is a link to the app for those who may not know what Voice Dream Reader is so you can find out for yourself. ? What's New in Version 2.9.0 Posted Oct 23, 2013 This major release significantly improves usability for VoiceOver users: - Incredibly easy-to-use text selection mechanism. Copy to clipboard, lookup words in the dictionary, highlight, and add your own notes. - Extensive use of new and innovative swipe-enabled buttons for VoiceOver users. Swipe the Voice Settings button to change the speed rate. Rewind and Fast Forward are built into the Play-Pause button as up and down swipes. - The text slider that moves the speech cursor by 5% has been modified so that swiping up moves toward the beginning of the text. The directions have been reversed from previous releases so that it now behaves the same way as the other swipe-enabled controls. For iOS 7, you can double tap the slider to enter a percent value. Plus delicious goodies for everyone: - Experimental support for MP3 audio books. Yes, it remembers where you leave off just like text. And you make add bookmarks. - Pronunciation dictionary import and export. View the entire pronunciation dictionary in an editable text window, allowing editing, copying, and pasting, plus exporting to another app like Dropbox and share it with others via email. - Launching Voice Dream Reader from Mobile Safari. Create a bookmark with the following URL. Next time you select this bookmark, it'll open the current web page in Voice Dream Reader: javascript:window.location=com.voicedream.reader://open?url=+window.location - Change speech rate on the fly with two-finger up or down swipes. (Not for VoiceOver users). - Fixed several problems with using iOS 7 built-in voices. - A lot of the minor improvements and bug fixes.

Re: Changing volume lock screen message.
Yes, and have just reported it. It happens with the volume buttons on the side of the phone and also with inline controls on headphones. Not sure why this is happening, as the screen does not even wake up I guess the screen is well locked, as VO locks it twice now whilst audio is playing too!

Re: I like iOS 7. upgrade.
Hi all, I agree with everything that has been said on this thread. However, a couple of other things I would like to see improved are: 1. With the introduction of iOS 7, after activating a countdown timer, the remaining time now appears on the lock screen. However, when you wake your phone, voiceover's focus does not automatically read this information by default. Instead voiceover reads the current time (one of the few occasions it does now whilst something else is also present on the lock screen) or if there is a notification, then voiceover reads that instead. I feel it would be very useful if voiceover read out the time remaining on the countdown timer by default. 2. Whilst listening to audio, such as a podcast or music, the playback controls now appear on the lock screen. This is a welcome addition, but after waking the phone up, voiceover's focus lands on the timeline of the recording. Although this information is useful, I usually only wake my phone whilst listening to audio to either check the time, or use one of the playback controls. Such as pause the audio if someone is trying to speak to me. Ok the headphones that come with the iPhone include inline controls to allow you to pause and skip etc. I don't use those headphones, and sometimes I connect directly to my hearing aid. So for me, I think it would be useful if voiceover read out the current time by default, as the clock is now on the status bar, as previously it appeared on the lock screen in larger text which was easier to see or locate with finger. In addition, I would like to see Apple introduce two finger double tap to pause and resume audio from the lock screen. This feature is already present to answer and end a call, so I think adding it for audio would be extremely useful. 3. I feel Apple have missed a trick when it comes to using the new hand writing feature. What is one of the biggest problems when using a touch screen whilst dealing with automated services? The keypad! Press 1 for new message, and press 3 to delete a message my voicemail announces each time I open it (I am not fortunate to have visual voicemail on EE network). So it would be really useful if I could just draw the numbers on screen to navigate the various options. This would be very useful when dialling other customer services, such as banks etc. No more trying to feel around and locate the appropriate option and also trying to listen to voiceover on the top of the automated voice barking instructions. We would also require two finger double tap to end the call to be enabled by default, as it might become frustrating having to switch away from hand writing within the rotor to end the call. I also feel this function would be useful for the telephone dialler, especially for older people who have lost their vision later in life. Speaking of the telephone dialler, I would be interested in feedback from low vision users on how they find the new colour scheme for the telephone keypad. The contrast is non existent and I would imagine even worse in sun light. I could just make out the buttons in the previous one, as the contrast was very good. 4. More than 12 apps within a folder is nice, but shame only 9 now appear on screen at once. It would be very useful if say I reach app 9 of 9, and flick to the right once more, I am then taken automatically to page 2, app 1 of 9. and told I am now on page 2 of whatever. Others may prefer having to manually change the page. Most of us hated doing that in app switcher, so why should we have to do it in folders? 5. Is anyone else bothered by the delay of voiceover speaking when you unlock or lock the phone? The delay is caused by Apple introducing a fancy way of the LED display slowly fading in or fading out to add that slick Apple touch. If voiceover users opt to turn off animations within the accessibility settings, then this should include the funky fade in and out effect, so voiceover is more snappy when we wake or lock the phone. What does everyone else think? There are a few other examples I have come across where I could see improvements being made, or bugs that need to be squashed, such as the ducking of audio not always coming back up, or the cursor jumping back to the start of the text message if the box is accidentally touched.. I have taken up enough of your time already though. I must also point out that there is also a lot to like about iOS 7 and hopefully between us all we will get those annoying quirks ironed out by letting Apple know what we think. Please feel free to let me know your thought. Thanks Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Perhaps with VoiceOver able to track where you are, and some more navigation options i.e. forcing the rewind and fast forward to navigate by sentence rather than in thirty second increments, I'll be able to rely on the app. Cheers.

Re: Nook App for IOS Devices Now Accessible
Don't waste your breath, Apple want to be the only place you can purchase content directly within iOS. You are better off asking Apple to introduce similar pricing models and special offers to compete. iBooks are totally accessible. If you want a more open market place, then I would suggest Android. Otherwise, it is iTunes on your device or purchase via your computer and then download directly to your device via the app. On 29 Nov 2012, at 13:42, Richard Turner richard.turne...@gmail.com wrote: Contact Apple feedback to request that they allow third party app developers to provide an online buying interface in their apps. apple took that away.

Re: ITV app in the UK
Yes, I can get it to work, but it is not perfect. My advice is to search for the TV program you want. Sadly the button for search does not work, so if you double tap on A to Z, this brings up the search box instead believe it or not. Once you have found and selected the programme you want to watch, do a triple press of home to turn voice over off and then double tap in the centre of the screen. This should either start the programme or get you to the next screen which is accessible again. Triple click home to turn voice over back on and if your programme has not already started playing, explore the screen to see if you need to accept their terms if the programme contains adult content etc. I reported many of the accessibility issues to ITV over a year ago and did not get a response and even left them bad feedback on iTunes. Maybe it is time I contacted them again, especially when you see how wonderful iPlayer is now. Once you get used to how ITV player works (or works with VO that should be rather), you should be able to watch just about anything via the A to Z button which is actually search.

Re: VoiceOver and Screen Behavior
I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.1.1 and I can confirm when you put the screen curtain on the backlight is still clearly running. Just go into a dark room and activate the screen curtain and ask anyone sighted if they can still see that the screen is lit up. I can only see light and dark and I can clearly see the back light is still on, ok it is not as bright as it would be if the screen curtain was switched off, so there is probably some battery saving, but I can assure you the LED backlight is still in use. On 16 Jul 2012, at 12:37, Garth Humphreys wrote: The screen curtain does now dim the back light when it is activated. In some of the earlier IOS releases, when you put on the screen curtain, it did not adjust the brightness of the back light, all it did was make the screen black. In very simple terms, you can think of these screens as a bright light that shines through a transparent layer. By adjusting the colours and transparency of this layer, the screen makes the various images it needs to. It is the back light which really uses up the battery. So in earlier IOS releases where the back light wasn't dimmed with the screen curtain there wasn't any benefit to the battery of using the screen curtain. Now when the screen curtain is enabled, the back light is dimmed to its minimum setting. Another consequence to this is that now if you intend to leave screen curtain on all the time, there is now no need to go into the screen brightness settings and turn it down and switch off auto brightness. This is all effectively done for you by just turning on screen curtain and if you do have to show something to a sighted person, they won't have to strain to see it. I certainly don't think that I would get anything like an extra 5 hours myself and I can't see how having the screen curtain on should make any difference to whether some apps work Garth www.iblindtech.com Follow me on twitter @BlindTechMusing or not.
