Re: A Question about the Volume of Audio Described Playback

[Christina]

I know you are asking about the Apple TV but I just wanted to add that several 
years ago I remember a setting like that on the Fire TV. I can’t remember if it 
was on the Fire TV Stick or on Fire TV OS.  I just remember setting it and I’ve 
not messed with it since.

Re: punctuation in voice over question

[Christina]

Go to the rotor and keep turning until you hear it say Activities. Then with 
one finger swipe down until you hear No activity selected. You may have 
accidentally selected the programming activity which makes VO read all of the 
punctuation.

Re: Withings scale

The Wyze scale is great. That's spelled W. Y. Z. E. 
It did not require sighted assistance to set up on my iPhone, it runs about $35

Re: Using vita mix with iPhone

[Christina]

Are you talking about the Perfect Scale that you can use to weigh ingredients 
for Vitamix recipes. A few years ago, I bought and tried the Perfect Drink 
scale and app and it wasn't accessible as far as actually pouring the 
ingredients. I could move around the app and read the recipes, but i couldn't 
use it when it came to actually starting a recipe. I contacted the company but 
I didn't make progress. I haven't tried the app in a few years. So, maybe 
things have changed.

Re: still seeking media player app to use with Dropbox

[Christina]

Cloud Beats sounds like a possible solution if it is integrated with DropBox. I 
sync my Voice Dream Library with iCloud, so I don't think it's actually taking 
up a ton of space on my iPhone, but I'm not sure.

Re: still seeking media player app to use with Dropbox

[Christina]

Export the audio file  to Voice Dream Reader. If it's a book with multiple MP3 
files for one book, then you might want to zip the folder that has those MP3 
files in it before sending it to Voice Dream Reader so that it comes out as one 
book instead of multiple books, but you don't have to.

Re: Transferring playlists/music among different services like Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music etc.

[Christina]

I like Houdini, but it’s the only one I’ve ever tried. It does YouTube 
playlists, Apple Music, and Spotify. It’s accessible except for one part. When 
you select playlists there isn’t any VoiceOver feedback as to if a playlist is 
selected, so you just have to go by faith that when you double tapped on it, 
that it is selected. It’s a very simple app and others may have more features.

Re: How does your Voiceover pronounce yesterday after the iOS 13.4 upgrade?

[Christina]

I’m getting the same thing. It started around 11 PM last night while I was 
using my iPhone, and I haven’t even updated. I double checked, and I’m on 
13.3.1 and I’m using Samantha compact. I rebooted my iPhone and the weird 
pronunciation of the word  “yesterday” persists.

Re: App to track books you read

[Christina]

The Nice thing about GoodReads is that you don’t have to use all of it’s 
features. Just use the database of books to add them to your virtual Read 
shelf. You don’t have to do anything more than that. Then when you look up a 
book and if it shows that the book is marked as read, than you know you’ve read 
it.   Or you could just read through your read shelf when you want to read 
through your list of books you’ve read. Think of the read shelf as a list of 
books you’ve read. Once you wrap your brain around it, it’s fairly simple. On 
the app, just stick to the My Books Tab and the Search tab and that will keep 
things to a minimum. When you start an account with Goodreads you automatically 
get three default bookshelves. You can choose to add a book to the read shelf 
if you’ve read a book, or you can add a book to the to read/want to read Shelf 
to keep track of books you’ve heard about that you want to read some day. Then 
there is the currently reading shelf. You can put books on that shelf if you 
want to see on Goodreads when you started a book, then when you finish the 
book, it will show the date you finished a book after you mark it as read or 
rate it. I originally started with Goodreads just to use the Want to Read shelf 
to keep track of books I want to read some day, but didn’t want to forget about 
them, and for a while, that’s all I used Goodreads for.  I hope this helps 
simplify things a little bit for you.

BTW, you can’t really Mark a book as unread. Once you  add a book to one of 
your Goodreads shelves, you can only move it to another of the 2 left default 
bookshelves, which are Read, Currently reading, and Want to Read. You can 
delete a book from your Goodreads, but by default you can’t move it to an 
unread shelf or mark it as unread.

Re: Netflix and AirPlay

[Christina]

While the video is playing, bring down the notification center and go to show 
playback destination. I have no idea about lip syncing or latency, but the 
sound does come out of my Sonos.

I hope this helps, but the only way I get it to work, is if quick NAV is on. 
It’s so weird.

Re: Deleting playlist

[Christina]

I’m so sorry, but I don’t completely understand your question. Are you 
subscribed to Apple Music’s Streaming service?  If so, are you asking how not 
to have Christmas songs added to your library, but you still want a Christmas 
playlist? On iOS under settings, music, then set Add Playlist songs to off. 
Then you can make playlists and when you add songs to the playlists it won’t 
automatically add songs to your apple music library. If you delete the 
playlist, then the playlist disappears forever. I just keep my Christmas 
playlist. It doesn’t bother me at all and the Christmas songs that I add to the 
playlist do not interfere with my regular nonholiday music.

Re: Temporary fix to get Voiceover to broadcast through connected Bose Soundlink Mini 2 bluetooth speaker

[Christina]

Hi, Did you try unpairing your Bose Speaker, going to settings, accessibility, 
voice over, audio, then changing send to HDMI to on. Then re-pairing the bose?  
I don’t know if that will do a thing but I had heard that VO not going to the 
Bose speakers was a feature and if you wanted that to work you had to turn that 
setting to off. IDK. I figured it might be worth a shot. Good luck.

Re: Siri Voices On Two Phones

[Christina]

Family sharing works great for purchases. However, to my knowledge, each person 
Hass to do their own in app purchases.  I wish in app purchases could be shared 
across family members. Family sharing used to be so much more awesome. Now so 
very many apps are free then you upgrade them with an app purchases or 
subscriptions.  But yes, using family sharing, makes so much more sense 
logistically. It is very very difficult and messy to share iCloud accounts.

Re: Accessible app for your iPhone that will let you lock your screen and still be streaming content?

[Christina]

What about guided access? Is that still a feature under accessibility? It used 
to be a way to Prevent the switching of apps. I tried it many years ago when my 
kids were little but it was kind of a pain back then. Maybe it’s been improved.

Re: Apple Accessibility reply to Voiceover no longer coming out of my Bose Mini Soundlink 2 bluetooth speaker since upgrading to iOS 13.2

[Christina]

Yes, I’ve heard that this so called “feature” or bug is only for a few select 
speakers. I honestly wish I could find more definitive information about this 
instead of hearsay  because I’d like to purchase  and use a bluetooth speaker 
that’s portable and doesn’t require a WIFI connection in order to keep VO with 
my phone and only my music, book, or TV show going to the speaker. My current 
setup isn’t exactly portable and WIFI is required if I want VO to stay with my 
device. The problem though is that it could be a bug instead of a feature and 
there is no way to know for sure just yet. It seems that some people like this 
and some people don’t. So, it’s hard to say. ☺️

Re: Apple Accessibility reply to Voiceover no longer coming out of my Bose Mini Soundlink 2 bluetooth speaker since upgrading to iOS 13.2

[Christina]

Hi Alan,

I have a few thoughts and ideas. I do have a question though. When VO goes to 
your phone instead of through the speaker, is it only going to the ear speaker 
where you can barely hear VO? Or is the sound just fine? I actually heard about 
this some time ago and I was under  the impression that it was actually a new 
feature for a few speakers. I personally prefer VO to stay with my phone and 
for only the music to come out of the speakers, like when I use airPlay. That 
is my personal preference. I don’t like VO interupting my music. That is just a 
personal preference. I can understand that others prefer VO to go  through the 
connected speaker. ☺️ So here’s an idea I heard about. I heard there is a 
setting under accessibility, voice over, audio, send to HDMI. I heard if you 
want VO to stay with the phone to make sure that is set to off. However in your 
case, maybe try setting it to on. I don’t know. Also, you should unpair the 
speaker, change the setting, then re-pair the speaker to your phone. I don’t 
know if this will help at all , but maybe it’s worth a try. Also, I have a 
friend who recently used a Bose Revolve and she was quite pleased to have VO 
stay with her phone because she didn’t have to interrupt the music to do things 
on her phone. Everyone in the room could enjoy the music and she retained the 
ability to do what she needed to on her iPhone.

HTH and best of luck,
Christina

Rename file/folder name in Files app

[Christina]

Hello,

How do I rename a folder or file name in Apple’s File app with Voice Over? I 
googled it and found directions for non VO users. It says to tap on the name of 
the file and then then start typing the new name. That won’t work with VO on. I 
can’t figure out how to do it. I used the actions menu by swiping up  while VO 
focus is on the file, but I didn’t find any options to rename. 

Thanks ahead of time for anyone who helps me out. ☺️

Re: Twitterrific's Contex menu New Tweet item

Oh, I see now, you’re talking about from the home screen, not within the app. 
I’ll experiment and see if I am having the same problem. What about if you 
swipe up until you hear context menu? Does that work more reliably?

Re: Are Third Party Keyboards Working in iOS 12.1.3?

[Christina]

I haven’t had any problems at all with hardware keyboards since iOS 13 except 
in WhatsApp, and those problems still persist. They told me it would be fixed 
in the next update. The WhatsApp update came out, but the shift key and control 
key still aren’t working. I can type, but I can’t use certain punctuation, or 
capitalize.

Re: Twitterrific's Contex menu New Tweet item

[Christina]

I don’t understand specifically what you are referring to. Are you talking 
about the 2 finger tap that brings up the compose tweet thing or something 
else? I am having a lot of problems when on a tweet and I flick down until I 
hear more options. When I double tap, it does all kinds of weird stuff and I 
have to explore by touch or sometimes even close a window to get to those 
options like muffle, mute, etc.

Re: A Question for All of You Audio Book Lovers

[Christina]

Hi Mark,

I know Two different people who have used the Churp app and they both said it 
was accessible. This was a few months ago, and I haven’t personally tried the 
Churp app as I haven’t found a book I want to purchase yet.

HTH,

Re: how to bring up the onscreen keyboard from external keyboard

[Christina]

On my keyboard it’s control plus spacebar. Some keyboards also have a 
designated key for that. I can’t remember for sure, but I think it’s the 
fn/function key on the apple keyboard.

Re: Problem continuously scrolling in native Twitter app

[Christina]

I have now run into the same problem as Kathy, except I had to scroll back 
quite a bit. I was like 2 or 3 days back before the page would not scroll 
anymore. I tried scrolling up and then back down twice to see if that would 
force it to load more tweets and that didn’t work. So, I see what Kathy is 
talking about, but I had to go way way back in my timeline to encounter this.

Thanks for the clarification. That makes complete sense. I hope Twitter fixes 
this soon because links should work when you open a tweet. Thanks for pointing 
this out.

Maybe try the Twitterrific app until the scrolling issue improves. Again, try

Re: Problem continuously scrolling in native Twitter app

[Christina]

The twitter app isn’t behaving that way at all for me. It just continuously 
scrolls down. Make sure you have the latest Twitter app because they just 
updated it a day or 2 ago. One other idea is to make sure your wifi data or 
data signal is strong. Also try rebooting your phone. FYI, I’m running iOS 
13.1.2, on an iPhone 11 and my Twitter app is up to date.

Free audible originals was Details needed on purchasing an Audible book with a credit using the app

[Christina]

There was an Audible app update a couple of days ago. Last night I wanted to 
see what the free audible originals are for October. I can’t find them 
anywhere. The originals tab has been replaced with a channels tab. I looked and 
looked and I can’t find them. I did find an Audible Originals heading under the 
discover tab, but they didn’t seem to be free. Does anyone know where to find 
the free audible originals on the app?

Thanks

 Hi List,
 
 A couple of weeks ago, I received more than one email from Audible 
 touting a new feature allowing one to purchase new Audible books 
 using their app and an account credit. For the life of me, I can't 
 figure out how to do this using the latest Audible version and my iPhone 8 
 running iOS 12.4.1.
 When I find a title I'm interested in and double tap on it to get 
 details about the book, I get a button to sample now and a 
 publisher's summary but nothing about buying it with a credit. I do 
 get an option to remove it from my wish list for titles I've placed there.
 
 I'm curious what others are experiencing with using the app and 
 buying with a credit. Voiceover just doesn't seem to offer me the 
 control button I need to do this.
 
 Thanks in advance for any details you can share.

Re: Details needed on purchasing an Audible book with a credit using the app

[Christina]

Hi, It’s actually pretty awesome and it’s not complicated at all. The app has a 
home tab as well as a discover tab to poke around at books. It’s not as robust 
as the website, but it’s pretty good. There is a from my wish list section, but 
I haven’t explored that very much to see if it’s my actual wish list or a mix 
of books I added and or suggestions of books based on  my wish list. Overall 
it’s really great to be able to get audible books with a credit right through 
the app.

Re: strange problem within a couple of Apps, phone reads by itself

[Christina]

I’m not sure that I completely understand, but I highly recommend that you 
clear your app switcher, power down your iPhone, wait a few minutes and power 
it back up. I have had to do this more than usual since iOS 13 and it has fixed 
some glitches I didn’t expect it to fix.

HTH,

Re: Another Question About Selecting Text

[Christina]

Always make sure you have a cursor in an edit field, otherwise, you might not 
find the edit in the rotor. If you are in in an edit field and you still don’t 
have the edit option in the rotor, do what Richard suggested below. Also, on 
rare occasions, I will have to type a space then delete it and then the edit 
will show up in the rotor.

Re: Problem continuously scrolling in native Twitter app

[Christina]

I’m on version 7.60, which came out a couple of days ago, and I’m able to 
scroll down just fine on my timeline. I don’t use the Twitter app much because 
Twitterrific works better for me personally.
Best of luck,
Christina

Re: Problem with VO, File Browser and IOS13.2

[Christina]

When you’re on the app store updates page, make sure to refresh the screen. 
Make sure you are at the very top of the page and perform a 3-finger swipe 
down. Then recheck what updates might be available and hopefully you’ll see the 
VDR update.

Re: Facial recognition

[Christina]

Try holding the phone further away from your face. Also, make sure your phone 
is in portrait not landscape. I also think resetting up your face ID can be 
helpful. I had trouble with my first face ID, then I got sighted help the 
second go around.

Handwriting feature when entering passcode

[Christina]

I’m on an iPhone 11. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem. I 
can’t enter my unlock passcode with handwriting. It doesn’t seem to recognize 
certain numbers. I’ve always done my passcode this way because it’s more 
discrete because there isn’t as much VO feedback that people around can hear. 
Anyways, I can’t use handwriting anymore for this. And in case you are 
wondering, yes, I’ve rebooted my phone multiple times. I’m on iOS 13.1.1.

Re: Format options replacing reader mode button in iOS 13

I find the extra step annoying. Another place where I now have an extra step is 
in the messages app. On the main screen with a list of text conversations, I 
used to double tap edit, then go to the bottom of the screen and double tap 
read all. Now I have an extra step and it’s annoying.

Re: Bluetooth keyboards was Re: IOS 13.1.1 is out

Also, I don’t think the control key works either in WhatsApp because I tried 
the control plus spacebar to pull up the onscreen keyboard so i could try 
inserting punctuation that way since the shift key doesn’t work, but it didn’t 
work. I did report this to WhatsApp and they responded a few days ago saying 
that they escalated it to the developers.

Re: Some emoticon questions in texts

[Christina C.]

Hi I use text replacements for emojis so that I don’t have to leave the 
alphabet keyboard.  For example, I created a shortcut “cbm” for the Clinking 
Beer Mugs emoji within keyboard settings of IOS.  So, when I type the letters 
“cbm” if I hit space or punctuation then “cbm” is replaced with the Clinking 
beer mugs Emoji. I created a bunch of text replacements/shortcuts that I have 
memorized. It saves me tons and tons of time.  Also, these text replacements 
are synced across your devices that use your iCloud account, including Mac. ☺️ 
Just be careful not to use a shortcut that is a complete word unless you want 
that complete word to always be replaced by an emoji every time you type that 
word. For example if you use the word sob for the shortcut to the stack of 
books emoji you might not appreciate that if you actually wanted the word sob.  
Also, be careful that you don’t use other abbreviations accidentally like NFL, 
ACB< NFB, and so on and so forth. ☺️ As a rule of thumb for myself, I try to 
stick to only 2 or 3 letters per shortcut and sometimes I do use four letters.  
Do whatever is comfortable for you though.  I try to use as few letters as 
possible for my shortcuts/text replacements to save time, especially when using 
the on screen keyboard.

Also, someone asked about switching to the emoji Keyboard while using an 
external keyboard.  Pressing Control plus spacebar will cycle through your iOS 
keyboards.  However, at that point I use the touch screen to choose an emoji.

HTH,
Christina

Re: Unable to receive calls when iPhone is locked

[Christina]

Is there any chance that you have do not disturb turned on? On my phone, if I 
touch the status bar, if I flick just to the right of the time… It will say do 
not disturb if it is indeed enabled.  I hope you get this resolved very soon.

Re: help with keyboard command Vo Keys

Thank you! It is definitely the Function key. I had never seen that before.

Re: help with keyboard command Vo Keys

[Christina]

Thanks! I may have figured out one thing. The far bottom left key seems to be 
the control key. While the option key seems to be the third key from the bottom 
left. I have no idea what they key inbetween the control and the option key is. 
On my Mac the far bottom left key is the function key, then the second key is 
the control key, and the third key from the bottom left is the option. So, I 
thought I was pressing the control plus option, but I was not. Now I have to 
figure out what that mysterious button inbetween control and option is.

help with keyboard command Vo Keys

[Christina C.]

Hi all,

I just purchased my first bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone. It’s a logitech 
K380 compact keyboard. It’s the size of a laptop keyboard. The description says 
it fully supports iOS. I thought control plus option were the VO keys to 
perform various tasks. All I get is a bonk when I try to use these keys with an 
arrow or anything else. Am I doing something wrong? I have a Mac and I am very 
familiar with using VO keys. I’d appreciate any info or help.

Thanks so much,
Christina

Ulysses was Re: Text editing/word processing

[Christina C.]

Hey there,

If you don’t mind can you please tell me, especially from a blindness/voiceover 
user’s perspective as to why you chose or prefer ulysses over Scrivner. 
Currently, I am trying to decide which word processor I want to invest the time 
to learn as well as the money in. 

Also, is it easy to spell check and to format the document with voiceover with 
Ulysses on the iPhone?

Thanks so much,
Christina

faces in photos

[Christina C.]

Greetings How do I get photos on iOS to recognize faces? Does it just use my 
contacts and their contact photo, or is there some training process somewhere? 
Also, it’s highly possible that I imagined this as a feature somewhere. Maybe 
this is a feature on the Mac only? I’m really not sure. :) 

Thanks,
Christina

iMazing and IPA files

Will iMazing allow you to take an IPA file from an iDevice and put it on a Mac? 
I’d love to get a particular version of an app from my iDevice backed up to my 
Mac. I don’t necessarily need the document files for that app but I need the 
actual app. 

Thanks,

Rich Links in iMessages

[Christina C.]

Hi,

I have googled this and I can’t seem to find any helpful info. I absolutely do 
not like the way imessages is handling links. iMessages is changing links into 
fancy Rich Links. I am having a lot of trouble with these things. If I send a 
link to someone sometimes the link does not even take them to the page I sent 
them. I know I sent the correct link because it won’t work on iDevices using 
iOS 10 but the links works perfectly in iMessages on Macs still on El Capitan. 

The second problem I am having is that voice Over is changing the text that 
goes along with the link. Sometimes I send text, then the link and that text 
dissappears to voice Over but I’m not sure if it’s there visually to a sighted 
person.

The third problem is that I don’t know how to get the information I need from 
this Rich Link via voice Over. All voice Over might say is amazonperiod. or 
something like that.

I’d appreciate any tips or help to navigate these rich links.

Thanks,
Christina

Voice Dream Reader and iCloud

[Christina C.]

Hi,

I never did turn on iCloud sync with Voice Dream Reader. Now that some time has 
passed, I was wondering if you are loving it and if the wrinkles have been 
ironed out. I’d also like to know what things I might need to be aware of if I 
turn on the iCloud sync for Voice Dream Reader. I would backup my library 
before I try it. However, I’d like to know what you all think before I decide 
to try it.

Thanks so much,
Christina

changing pronunciation isn't working

[Christina C.]

Hello,

Does the pronunciation additions only work with enhanced voices. I have added 
some pronunciations and compact Samantha isn’t using the new pronunciations. 
For example, I hate the way she says tornado. I am pretty sure that I properly 
added a word, have it set for all languages, and the play button has Samantha 
saying tornado correctly. However, Samantha still won’t say tornado correctly.

Thanks,
Christina

Re: How Can I Review Voice Messages I've Sent with the Roger App?

[Christina C.]

You can’t but if you want ot do a sound check you can start a conversation with 
rogerbot to test to hear back how you sound.

Re: a few tweetings questions

[Christina C.]

I figured out question number two. :) In tweetings, In settings, look and feel, 
in-line photos, I changed it from disabled to thumbnails. Now, images with alt 
text are read by VO in my timeline without any noticeable negative outcomes. 
I’ve noticed though that the images with alt text are not read in my timeline 
if the tweet is  a quoted retweet with an image with alt text. In those cases I 
have to open the tweet to hear the image description.

got VO to read alt text for pics in tweetings main timeline

[Christina C.]

I was frustrated that I could only get VO to read image descriptions if I 
opened the tweet and flicked to the image. Anyways, I went to settings, look 
and feel and changed in line images from disabled to thumbnail. Now it appears 
so far that images with alt text are being read in my timeline. I am 
experimenting so I can't report on any long term experience nor have I tried 
any of the other options for in Line photos.

Good luck and I hope someone finds this helpful.

a few tweetings questions

[Christina C.]

Hi,

1.  If I tap the timeline options button, I get a choice of Ninja Mode and 
media timeline. what do those do?

2.  If a tweet with a picture has image descriptions, is there a way to know or 
hear them when flicking through my timeline? So far, I only catch an image 
description if I open the tweet and flick to the image. I was just wondering if 
there is a more efficient way, especially since so far most images do not have 
a description.

3.  In the tweetings app, is there a place to find my notifications? Sometimes 
I hear a bird sound and I’m not quick enough to get to the banner at the top of 
the screen. These notifications are not showing up on my notification center 
via the three finger swipe down.

Thank you all ahead of time for any help in pointing me in the right direction 
:)

Re: Sharing links on twitter via Safari extension

[Christina C.]

Yes, that makes sense. That is how I expected it to work but the links were nto 
in my twitter posts, just the title showed up in my timeline. The weird thing 
is that it’s working now. I wonder if Twitter and it’s URL handler or whatever 
it’s called was down for a little bit or something. All I know is that it’s 
working now just fine. :)

Sharing links on twitter via Safari extension

[Christina C.]

Hello,

I feel pretty dumb but I can’t figure this out. If I am in Safari and I want to 
share a link I can’t get the link to show up on the tweet. When I am on the web 
page I want to share, I tap the share button at the bottom. Then I click 
twitter, or tweetings. I have both apps on my phone and I have tried both. Then 
a dialogue pops up with a tweet with the title of the web page already typed 
up. I cannot find the link anywhere. However, the number of characters left has 
less than it should. I therefore thought that the link would show up once the 
tweet is sent. However, when I looked at my posts they did not have a link. 
Anyways, I have tried everything I can think of. Am I supposed to copy the link 
to the clipboard before I try to share it to twitter, then paste the link in?

Thanks for any help,
Christina

Yeah, I haven’t been able to figure out the calendar app for around a year or 
more now. I can use it to make appointments but that’s it. I use Fantastical 2 
now. Although, I’m not super proficient on that but I find their list view very

Re: chromecast, amazon fire stick?

[Christina C.]

the important thing with the Chromecast is to make sure the app you want to 
“cast” to the tv supports the Chromecast and is voice Over accessible. Last 
time I checked, none of  apple's iOS apps support the Chromecast. There are 
other third party apps on iOS that work with the Chromecast though like 
Netflix. Look online for a list of iOS apps that support the Chromecast. I 
personally feel the apple TV is the better way to go if you are heavily 
invested in the apple ecosystem and prefer to buy and rent movies and music 
through apple. However, if you only want to cast Netflix and google’s media one 
may be satisfied with the more economical Chromecast.

Good Luck

twitter handles in tweetings

[Christina C.]

When composing a tweet and I need to tag someone, sometimes I can’t remember 
someone’s exact twitter handle, only remember their actual name but not their 
twitter handle, or I’m lazy. :) Is there an easy way  to have Tweetings help 
with this? So far, if I type the at symbol and start typing the screen name, I 
have not noticed any autocomplete or a quick way to access a list of twitter 
handles. I just end up going back a few screens and then finding the info I 
need and either committing it to memory before I type the tweet or I copy and 
paste. I’d appreciate any advice on how to do this more efficiently. I just 
feel like I’m missing something and their has to be a quicker way. :) I’m sure 
it is probably very obvious to some of you so, please no criticizing. :) 

Thanks,
Christina

Re: Voice dream reader iCloud sync lost my folders

[Christina C.]

Mary, Maybe you could go back to your previous backed up library before you 
turned on iCloud sync where all of your folder structures are in tact. I wonder 
if your folders are even in tact in the backup. Don’t use iCloud sync yet and 
just keep your fingers crossed that Winston will be able to fix this in the 
future and then you could back up your library just in case and then try 
turning on iCloud sync. 

Good luck,
Christina

Re: Is anybody having any success with the Fleksy keyboard?

I just could not get efficient with Fleksy. I kept accidentally hitting keys 
that are not letters like the shift key and fleksy could not interpret my

Re: Facebook artificial intelligence for photos

[Christina C.]

I think I read on twitter if it’s not working to log out of the faceBook app 
and then log back in or something like that. I don’t remember reading that you 
have to uninstall the app but I didn’t place that close of attention since I am 
one of those weird people who didn’t like faceBook and deleted my account. One 
thing I hated was all the photos people posted with no caption or comment or 
description as to the context of their photos. It made for a very boring and 
flat experience on FaceBook. So, this topic is interesting to me. I like the 
idea of AI describing the photos since most people probably won’t take the time 
to add alt text for photos. Is it an option for people to add alt text to 
photos like Twitter just added to their official app for iOS? That could be 
very beneficial.

OmniFocus was Re: Task Manager Apps

Hi, the OmniFocus app is quite pricey. Could you please tell me what makes it 
worth the price verses the native free Reminders app. Can you add tasks to 
OmniFocus via Siri? Thanks for any info as i like the reminders app because it 
is very convenient but if there is something out there that would increase my 
productivity even more than that is a good thing.

Re: Voice searching in the Google app

[Christina C.]

It’s been a  while since I used the app but the last time I used the app, you 
have to turn on the OK google option in the settings of the app. Also, as far 
as I know, you can only do the “OK google” within the app.

Will I lose my Ivona voice if I update VDR to 4.0

[Christina C.]

Hello,

The last I heard, the Sally Ivona voice was not going to be supported anymore. 
If I update my voice Dream Reader will I lose my Sally Ivona voice?

Thanks,
Christina

Re: Voice Dream Reader 4 is in the App Store

[Christina C.]

I could be wrong but I think the backup that Winston is referring to is not a 
full backup of your iDevice but to back up the actual voice Dream Reader 
Library File via the file sharing portion of iTunes. That way you have the file 
with your library rather than a iTunes backup of your entire phone.  I hope 
that makes sense and I could be wrong.

Re: Task Manager Apps

[Christina C.]

Have you tried the native reminders app? You can create multiple lists so if 
you need a list for a specific project you can make one. I am not sure about 
sub tasks for tasks though. I’ve never needed to that once I make a specific 
list for a specific task.

Re: Mega discovery in 9.3

[Christina C.]

Joney,

What do you remember about it? Was it a four finger swipe and did Tim Cook say 
that it only works on the 6S or 6S plus?  I know a few sighted users of the 
iPhone and one of their biggest gripes is not having a way to move from one 
open app to another very quickly other than the back button which only shows up 
under certain circumstances. It seems to me that more people would be talking 
about this new iOS feature if they could actually quickly swipe back and forth 
between open apps.  Confusing :)

Re: Mega discovery in 9.3

Maybe that’s why some can get the four finger swipe with VO to work and some 
can’t. Maybe it only works on the newest phone. Has anyone here been able to 
use the four finger swipe with older phones?

Re: Mega discovery in 9.3

[Christina C.]

I haven’t updated yet to try the four finger swipe but I heard this is also 
available to non voice Over users. I can’t find that anywhere on the internet. 
I know lots of people who would love this feature on their iPhone who does not 
use voice over. I’d be surprised to know that voice Over users have a new cool 
feature that the mainstream does not have.

Re: 9.3 so far

Try turning pitch on and off to see if that could be causing some variation. I

Also, are you using enhanced Samantha or the compact? I think I am using the

Re: iOS 9.3, Apple Music and iTunes Match

This may be a dumb idea but have you gone into the settings of your phone to 
see if the settings changed for match or apple music? Maybe something got

support.

Good Luck,

Re: Buying a replacement Plantronics Voyager Legend or getting an Edge?

[Christina C.]

So, does the edge just sit in your ear canal like an ear bud. I’m trying to 
imagine it. What prevents it from falling out. I can’t use ear buds because 
they constantly pop out or hurt my ears.

Thanks for any details. I’d really love to find a great ear peace

Re: Voice Dream Reader delayed in coming to the app store, but that is good news

[Christina C.]

I’ve seen apps where there is a way to “leave a tip” or make a donation through 
an in app purchase. I wonder if Winston is going to do that? Does apple have 
some rule that did not allow Winston to charge for the feature upgrade? I think 
schools use VDR and had some issues with purchasing voices through in app 
purchases. I think that is why he developed the voice pack app. Maybe that is 
why he changed his mind?  I’m just surprised that the feature will be free. I’m 
sure it was not a simple task of adding the iCloud support. I love VDR and 
couldn’t do without it.

Re: about voice dream reader

[Christina C.]

Auto Loader? I think that sounds pretty amazing. Will this iCloud also serve as 
a backup? I don’t understand iCloud that well. :) I always thought it would be 
great to have iCloud sync but never expected it to happen and certainly not 
this soon. It sounds like the developer put a lot of thought into it since he 
added the auto loader feature. That is just fantastic. I will definitely take 
advantage of that feature. :)

Re: Frotz

Ok, thanks :) but once I find the game through the browser in Frotz, how do I 
get the game onto my device? I didn’t find a download button. Thanks for all of

Wait, did you say iCloud sync support. That would be awesome! Does that mean

Re: KNFBReader Question?

[Christina C.]

there is also a way to put your file in voice dream reader, through the file 
explorer. Put it in edit mode, select the file you want, select share, select 
the file type, then select open with, then select copy to voice Dream Reader. I 
am going off of memory here and I have only done it once. So, I can’t remember 
what comes next. I think you have to open Voice Dream Reader. I can’t remember 
if you have to hit the add button and then I think you choose clip board. 
However, I could be totally wrong about this part. I can’t remember if Voice 
Dream automatically opens and detects the file or what. I just honestly cannot 
remember. I don’t have something to scan and put into voice Dream Reader right 
now so I can get you proper directions.

Good Luck,
Christina

latest version of any list

[Christina C.]

I noticed that any list has a major update. Usually when I see this I am 
hesitant to update because sometimes accessibility is accidentally broken. I 
have heard that the developers of any list seem committed to accessibility. 
However, just wanted to see if anyone has been using the latest version of the 
any list app without any major problems before I update. I love this app and 
use it a lot and pay for the extra features so that I can support the app.

Thanks so much,
Christina

Re: Unacceptable Response from Issuu Support Team Regarding VoiceOver Accessibility

[Christina C.]

I would make sure the school is doing everything they can to help. Also, try 
contacting as many people in the company because the person responding to you 
may not be the right person. Who knows, maybe someone on the development team 
might feel compelled to investigate making their app more accessible. Apple has 
not left developers in the dark when it comes to accessibility. I don’t know 
how large or small the company is but the person responding to you is giving 
you very generic answers without any real help as if they don’t actually have 
much of a say or understanding. I could be wrong though :) It’s just a guess 
based on my perceptions.

Good luck,
Christina

May I suggest that you contact the person in charge of where and how the school

the platform they are using is not accessible. This person can also contact the 
developer or make sure to find a more accessible platform for the school

Re: apple music and family sharing

[Christina C.]

You can share playlists with each other though. It’s kind of cool. My kids can 
share a playlist they created in apple music with me, I add it to my library. 
Then I can listen to the playlist but I can’t make changes. If my kids change 
their playlist then it is automatically updated in my apple music as well. At 
least, that’s how it has worked for us so far. :)

Re: Fleksy, returning to letter keyboard

Oh, good to know. Strangely, I don’t know if I encountered this dialogue and my 
return to letters seems to work. Maybe it will show up here some day and I’ll 
know what is going on. :)

Re: Fleksy, returning to letter keyboard

[Christina C.]

I’m glad you are having better success this time. I can get around better this 
time but I still can’t type out a complete sentence. LOL! I keep having to 
delete and then I delete and 30 minutes later, I give up and use dictation.

Anyways, My key to switch from Emoji back to letters works. The only thing I 
can think of is to clear your app switcher and turn your phone off for a bit 
and then restart it. Alternatively you could try turning voice over off and 
then back on again to see if the button will work. BTW, I also, keep activating 
the emoji keyboard with the return key. I thought it was supposed to be some 
kind of swipe but it does not seem to matter, the slightest touch seems to 
switch me over to emoji. Alternatively, when I try to use the shift key in 
minimal mode to switch to numbers/symbols I can’t seem to make it happen by 
swiping on shift key. ha ha, I just can’t consistently make the switch from 
letters to numbers and back again with the shift key while in minimal keyboard. 
I haven’t given up yet though. If I had never used the original stand alone 
Fleksy keyboard and had such a superb experience I would have given up a long 
time ago.

Re: Problems with Fleksy number/symbols layout

I second that. :) Maybe if more of us blind people are using Fleksy we might be 
able to contribute more helpful tips, suggestions, and requests that the Fleksy 
team might find useful to help make the app even better in the future.

Re: SIRI issues - can someone help me out here?

[Christina C.]

I don’t quite understand what you are saying is happening. I do have a Siri 
problem of my own and I wonder if it’s similar to yours. which I thought was 
some kind of bug. If I’m in Safari or a text field. I cant’ seem to engage Siri 
properly with the home button. I get a quick Bonk and Siri says, sorry, I 
didn’t get that. I then have to touch the screen and I find the listen button 
near the bottom. If I tap it I can use Siri, or I can now use the home button 
to use Siri after I have touched the screen. I do have to touch the screen 
first before I can get Siri to work with the home button. I’m not sure if I 
have to touch the listen button itself but I do have to touch the screen for 
sure. Another work around for me is to just go to my home screen and then I can 
use the home button from there to use Siri. 

Is this the same problem you are having? Is anyone else having this problem. I 
promise, I’m not trying to hijack your message with a problem of my own. I’m 
just trying to understand if our problems are the same or very different.
