  Hi All,

  Running iOS 17.4.1 on an SE2022 iphone.  I went to the App Store to check 
for updates and found that I had 16 updates available.  How can I set-up my 
phone so that I don't have to insert my password for updating apps?  I had to

Re: Just a few upgrade questions, and other comments

2023-09-24 Thread Fred Olver

Terri, Since I don't feel it necessary to have the latest and greatest, 
please try and understand my bias. My personal choice would be for you to 
invest in the second generation IPhone S.E. The cost is substantially less 
than any of the more modern phones and you would not be sacrificing very 
much in terms of optical recognition. Also, you would be able to continue to 
use your various charging devices and chords because the S.E. has the 
lightning port.

Subject: Just a few upgrade questions, and other comments



Hello everyone,


First of all, I have really appreciated reading the thoughts, and opinions 
on the new phones. As well as peoples experiences with them, in the 
stores. I always find this sort of stuff helpful.



I am considering upgrading my phone. At first, I wasn't going to do it. I 
love my 12 mini. It's smaller, and pretty easy for me to hold. It still 
works quite well, and I really don't have any issues with it.



However, I get my phone service with T-Mobile. If I were to upgrade now, 
it would be better for me, then if I were to wait another year or so. 
Right now, I can trade in this phone, and it will help go toward the cost 
of my next phone. I really don't want to have to trade in this phone. But 
this is the way I have to go about these sorts of things, if I ever want 
to upgrade.



My battery in my phone is degrading. I actually have a service message on 
it, that states that I need to replace the battery. So I could do that, 
and use this phone for longer. But a part of me thinks that it is just 
better to go ahead and do the upgrade instead.



I would be interested to hear what people think about this. I know some of 
this will be opinion. That is fine by me.


However, some of you on this list know way much more about these sorts of 
things than I do. That is something I have really come to appreciate over 
the years. It is a big part as to why I remain a part of this list.



I plan to go to my local store within the next week, or so. I want to hold 
the 15 plus, and the 15 pro. I want to explore them, and see which one I 
might be most comfortable with.



I was also considering checking out the 14 pro. Just so that I would know 
all of my options. I am not interested in the pro, max phones. That would 
just be too large of a device for me.



I really like the idea of having a phone that uses USB C charging.

However, what sorts of charging blocks might I need?


I am not sure if I have what I need, to support that type of charging. I 
know I at least have one. I usually try to buy dual charging blocks, 
because I have so many devices, that this just works better for me. Or, I 
have friends that come over, who need to charge their stuff.



I am really looking forward to possibly getting a pro, just for the 
camera. I never in my life thought that i would want a phone, for it's 
camera.



However, the new feature with Be My Eyes, has been a game changer for me. 
I use it quite regularly. At least, once a day. Usually a lot more than 
that though. I am still not always the best at taking a picture. I hope 
that this might improve in time. I just don't always understand how, or 
where to aim the camera.



Are the cameras really all that different from the 12 Mini I have now, to 
the 14 pro, or the 15 pro?



I really want to make the best choice possible for myself. But of course, 
I won't know really what to expect, until I go to the store.



What do you all think?

Any thoughts, or suggestions are much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

The CAS130 is accessible for both low vision and totally blind individuals. it
has controls for setting function and temperature and can also be used with the
V-Sync app. I use it all the time and am well satisfied with it. A warning,
though, do not leave plastic items on top when cooking and make sure it is
inches away from anything which might melt.

well on my phone. For a while with the app you still had to actually press the
start button on the fryer . but honestly I use Alexa the majority of the time

Howard, that might have something to do with your mail preferences, or

to yours via groups.io. I have no idea. But the link worked when it left

But OK, here it is without the associated hypertext:

cosori oven question?

2022-12-09 Thread Fred Olver

Just purchased the cosori CO130AO. Wondered if anyone had put the materials for 
it in to Braille? Also, how does one access the Convection aspects of the oven?
Also, have interfaced it with both my phone and my Alexia, very cool.

You don't e even need to go to tune-in. You can go directly to Westwood 1 with

  Well, I personally don't see the issue with someone asking about an 
accessible dating app for use with their phones here. Moreover, rules or not, 
someone was vulnerable enough to come on here and admit to being lonely. It 
seems that the least we can do, as human beings, is offer help or support. I 
should say that I don't know who this person is, and I'm not sure I would come 
on here and admit these feelings... if I was feeling that way, I wouldn't be 
that brave. I might, however, consider the fact that the best way to find 
someone is likely going to be through common activities, and probably offline. 
I would also hope that men feeling things like this aren't out to objectify 
women, that they aren't out to find someone just to alleviate loneliness, but 
I'm not them. And, of course, any moderator of this list can do whatever they 
wish to about this thread.

I just downloaded the NFL app to my S E 2020 , intending to subscribe to

Thus far, I have completely struck out to use a baseball analagy. I looked 
as carefully as I could but found nothing pertaining specifically to 
audio. There was a question asking the user to list their TV provider. The 
worst thing, however, is that the app has a significant number of 
unlabeled buttons.


I write in the hope that others can navigate this maze and provide

Re: NFL stream service

2022-07-31 Thread Fred Olver

Was thinking about getting the NFL streaming service, but I want the college 
football as well. I checked Tune-in and looks like they will still be carrying 
the NFL games this fall, I hope, anyway.

I wonder if this will be accessible. I didn’t find the NFL Game Pass 
accessible. It was so bad, and the NFL Game Pass Support didn’t care that there 
app wasn’t accessible, so I went as far as submitting a complaint to the DoJ 
under the ADA. The DoJ thanked me for filing a complaint and said they’d keep 
it in the records in case they ever decided to take any action against the NFL. 
I recently got a response to my support ticket asking if there was anything 
else they could do, but I said that between TuneIn carrying the games and my 
complaint to the DoJ, I was good.

This price is a lot cheaper then it used to be when you had to shell out 
$99 a year to get access to the radio broadcasts, but it’s still quite a bit 
more expensive than the NBA where you get all of the radio broadcasts for the 
entire season for $10.

  Hi Fred,

  Well, I am glad it is working better for you at least for now. I know you use 
the Apple TV and you have the MLB app for that, right? I have it on my phone 
and I don’t know if it’s the same as the Apple TV which I have as well. I did 
contact MLB and asked that they request that the radio feeds be added, but 
sadly, that hasn’t happened. I wonder if it will happen next year? We’ll see. 
Have a good day.

  It is just an air fryer.
  I do not know if their smart devices that are combo units work as well.
  I gather several brands are accessible, but this is the only one I've needed.

just before Xmas, I returned it since I could not get it to work with Vesync. 
Perhaps if I could have turned the unit on by some remote app, it might have 
been satisfactory. I didn't find any Alexa info during my last purchase.

BTW, I've used Iphones since 2012 and still have the Instant pot which was 
almost made useless by the neglect of the manufacturer. Pressure from consumers 
I suspect caused them to continue support. However, I haven't checked the app 
store to see if the App is still available in the app store. However, my 
present instant pot app still works with IOS 15.4.1. Not sure what will happen 
when apple releases subsequent updates.

Perhaps things in regards to accessibility for blind folks have improved.

For thermometers, I would like cooking, environmental, and health. 
Throw in scales as well.

BTW, I am NOT interested in specific blindness products such as 
infrared or stand-alone devices. I like the additional features offered by IOS 
devices like past record charts, recipes, etc.

I think I said what I know I meant.

I have recently decided to stop using my gas stove and oven. As a result, I
will be using my Nuwave Oven pro, Induction cooktop and ninja Foody. I was able
to label the ninja Foody and there lots of resources for all three on the web.

Hi,

I have a Bosch washer and dryer that is mostly controlled by a touch panel,
however, I use it via an app on my iPhone. It works pretty well. The only
drawback might be that Bosch only sells apartment size washers and dryers. So
if you are looking for a full size, Bosch won’t work for you.

I have a GE stove with a flat top for the burners and touch pad for
controlling the oven. I have labeled the oven in braille, but the stove has the
capability of working through an app on my iPhone. I just haven’t done the last
steps to set that up.

By the way, in case it comes up for you when looking for appliances, if it
says “ADA Compliant” that doesn’t mean it is necessarily accessible to the
blind. It mostly means that the controls of the stove are on the front, and
reachable from a wheelchair.

Good Luck!

Take care and stay safe!

Alan,

We recently got an Ecobee thermostat which was recommended by our HVAC 
company and it works with our Trane air conditioner.  I do not remember the 
specific model offhand, though.

My husband and I are both blind, and after the initial setup, we have 
had no issues using it with their app or Alexa.   The only time we needed 
sighted help was during the setup process to enter the WIFI information 
directly on the touch screen of the unit.  There may have been a way around 
this that we might have missed at the time, but a call to AIRA helped get this 
part done.

Anyway, we are very happy with this unit.

Open the Amazon Alexa app on your phone and go to add new device and 
select thermostat and it will ask you for the brand and give you a pretty long 
list of brands.

That might help.

The company should be able to tell you which thermostats work with your

will, but I know other brands also work with it.

You should be able to find out quickly if they work with Echo devices

only thing the tech expert could suggest was updating my phone to the next
upgrade (14.5). Reluctantly, that's what I did. Now I cannot use my Instant
Pot, nor is the messages problem fixed...

Very unfortunately, the BlueTooth accessible InstantPot app is not

that has a somewhat accessible app that also connects through the
Amazon.com <http://amazon.com/> Echo (Alexa). I don’t know what i am
going to do about this. I resent having to buy a new IP, since the
one i have  still works with the buttons, but i, too, always enjoyed
the level of control and  and information i had with my phone. I am

Good morning,

I hope this is a good list to ask this question.
A few years ago, I got one of the first Smart Instant Pots that
hooked up to the iPhone via Bluetooth. It worked well, and while I
could use it to some extent with just the buttons, I found that
being able to use it with my phone really helped and made it easier
to take advantage of its capabilities.
Since I upgraded to my iPhone 12, I found that my Instant Pot
doesn’t connect to my phone. I thought I had to re-pair it via the
app, and when I tried going that direction, either my phone or the
Instant Pot didn’t seem to recognize one another. If there is some
recognition, it is only for an instant, and then it goes away and I
can’t use the Instant Pot with the phone.
I’m wondering what you think could be wrong, or if I should get one
of the newer ones.
I like being able to use it and set the temperatures with ease
without having to memorize and count and do all of those extra things.
This is still in good condition, except for the Bluetooth capabilities.
What are people using now? What do you guys think about the newer
Smart Instant Pots? How accessible are they? Are they worth it?
I’d like to read your thoughts before I make any decisions.

Re: Getting Started with the iPhone and iOS 14

2021-04-30 Thread Fred Olver

If you decide to order this book you will not be disappointed. I first learned 
how to use my Iphone 4 or 4S from one of Anna's first "how-to" books and have 
recommended her various works  to others. Everything is presented in 
easy-to-learn segments and described beautifully. Although you may have learned 
to use your Iphone or Ipad on the fly I'm sure you will find this book to be 
extremely easy to read and understand. Her books are probably the most 
understood volume on any aspect of technology I have ever read. Thanks. Do 
yourself a favor and get this book which will expand your knowledge on the most 
intrinzic and valuable technological advance ever to make it's way in to the 
market for blind and visually impaired individuals. In fact I think I'll order 
one myself, just for the new and updated information which I'm sure it offers. 
Available in several formats I'm sure there's one or more which will meet your 
needs.

Getting Started with the iPhone and iOS 14: 
Step-by-Step Instructions for Blind Users
By Anna Dresner
In Braille (3 vols.), BRF, DAISY, or Word: $24.00
Note: The DAISY download will be available on 
Friday, April 30, but it is available for purchase now.

This new edition of our soup-to-nuts tutorial for 
beginners contains everything you need to know to get started using the iPhone 
and the iOS 14 operating system. If you like step-by-step tutorials, you'll 
appreciate the detailed way in which you're guided through setting up your 
phone, placing calls, entering text, using a Bluetooth keyboard and braille 
display, and more. If you prefer to look up the commands you need, you'll love 
the first appendix, which lists the most handy gestures and buttons in an 
organized manner so you can find the one you want. 

Other appendices include troubleshooting tips and a 
list of resources to help you learn more. Most of the book is relevant for iPod 
touch users, and since the layout of iPhone Plus screens resembles that of iPad 
screens, iPad users should find this edition useful as well.

Order the book and read the table of contents here.

There's also a handy iOS 14 Reference Card: $8.00

  That TMobile ads is for MLB TV, so you get access to all the TV broadcasts as 
well as the radio.  Regular price I think for that is around $120 per year.

  But, you can get MLB audio, for just the radio broadcast and the occasional 
“Game Of The Day” that includes the TV for $20 per year.

Blind Compass and Blind Bat - new apps for the blind
Hello,
My name is Tony and I wrote two iPhone apps for blind people and
recently I published them in AppStore.
Blind Compass is a compass app specifically designed for blind people. I
was surprised that such an app didn't seem to exist before - or am I
missing something? First, it reports your heading continuously by
varying pitch, so that even with not much musical training you can
easily memorize how the right direction sounds like, and you'll be able
to walk in straight line just by listening to your direction. ALso when
your heading crosses North,East, South, or West you will hear that
spoken to you.
I recommend to use Blind Compass with bone conductance bluetooth
headphones. Bone conductance headphones don't block ears, so that you
can hear sounds from the environment, as well as audio feedback from
BlindCompasss.
You can also have your heading spoken by either pressing button in the
app, or if you are using bluetooth headphones, you can press play button
once.
Second, Blind Compass allows you to lock your direction. Either press
lock button in the app, or press fast forward button on your headphones,
or double press play button on your headphones, and your direction will
be locked. You will hear auditory feedback guiding you back to the
original heading. If you allow Blind Compass to use location data, then
it will also count distance travelled from the point where you locked
your location. This way you can cross vast open space without fear of
veering.

Another app I wrote is Blind Bat - and it is designed to help people to
learn echolocation. Maybe I'm not that good at it myself, but I wanted
to play around with it, so I designed an app that would make ideal
click, whatever that might entail. You have a few parameters you can
adjust and the app would generate click sound that conforms to these
parameters. You can specify mean frequency, bandwidth and duration of click.

If anyone is interested in source code:

https://github.com/mltony/blind-compass/

https://github.com/mltony/blind-bat/

Let me know what you think of them!

  I have been subscribed to this list now, probably for more than ten years, 
maybe I should say since I purchased my IPhone 4, whenever that was. For the 
most part, I find the threads both useful and interesting, however when I see a 
question like "What would be a good GPS app, or What would be a good recording 
app etc., I start to wonder if I want to continue to be part of this list. As 
most of you know, there is a website, http://www.applevis.com which is a 
repository of information which can not be overshadowed by any other when it 
comes to information about the usefulness of particular app's for blind and 
visually impaired individuals. I urge each one of you who feel the need to ask 
questions which you could easily find the answers yourself from this site to go 
there and have a look at all the information which is available. There are 
lists of app's concerning various needs or wants, there are podcasts for those 
who feel they need further assistance in becoming familiar with a specific 
application and you may just come away with more than you expected. Please, 
before you bring a question to the list, consider finding the answer at 
http://www.applevis.com  and thank you.

  Fred,

  That is the beauty of the delete key.

  If you see a question like that, just hit the delete key.

  While I truly love the AppleVis web site, it does not have everything under 
the sun and for some novice users on this list, it is rather a cumbersome site 
to navigate.

  I follow the motto, There are no dumb questions.

I also found that game day pro football was not what it was cracked up to 
be.  I found that I wasnâ€™t able to listen to my local station broadcast of 
the game.  I didnâ€™t go all through the list of stations, but the first four 
or five.

I gave up quickly, as wanted to listen to the game, so just left it on the 
TV.

Maybe I didnâ€™t give it a fighting chance, but will try to see if I get 
better results when I am watching a game that I donâ€™t care about as much as 
the one last night.

Such a great game!  Go Hawks!

I have completed the audio version of the book. Personal Power, the iOS

about how to do hundreds of things with your iOS device.
Included are 3 versions.
(1) for your NLS player, either the unit from NLS or the app for the IOS
and Victor Stream.  The NLS player will announce the level types, 1,
section, 2, subsection, 3, steps and 4, activity. The Stream will just
announce level 1 through 4.

Xfinity is great if you have their internet. 

We were on Consumer cellular before Xfinity offered their plan.

Consumer cellular was quite affordable and very good customer service.

I suggest calling the various companies.

I know Consumer Cellular will give you all the details up front.

Verizon does have an accessibility department, so maybe they would be more 
helpful.

I don't have much experience with anyone else.

Hi, Yes, the 6s cases, will fit the new iPhone SE2020. But that is only in
size alone.

But the cutout for the camera, will be out of line.

You need a case that says, for the new SE2020, and the iPhone 8. and i think
for the iPhone 7.

The 6s cases, will only be OK, for the iPhone 6.

Even my iPhone 6S case fit my new SE.  I was rather surprised, as I didn't

In preparing myself for when Telcel (my carrier) restocks the iPHones SE 2nd
Generation, my sister (who got herself an SE2020 last month), has been
looking online to get herself and me, a case; however she says that cases
for iPHones SE2020 aren’t available yet here in Mexico! So between an iPHone
7 or 8 case, which would be the nearest in terms of camera and other
controls, that would fit a new sE? Thanks for info.

Hi there!

I am afraid that our games are currently not accessible to blind and visually 
impaired individuals. Accessibility is definitely something that we need to 
work on, so we hope to do better in the future.

Our development team is only small, but as we grow it is our goal to allot more 
time into making sure that our games are as inclusive as possible.

I am very sorry for the disappointing news.

Hello All,

Recently I posted about an on-device, self-voicing Monopoly-like game for
iOS, called EarsOpoly.

While I continue to enjoy the game, I am all but certain that it will
cease
to function-as-expected in future versions of iOS; primarily because it 
is

no longer being maintained by the developer, Kid Friendly Software.

A couple of days ago, I contacted the developers of the official Parker
Brothers Monopoly game for iOS, Marmalade Games Studio, requesting that
they
add VoiceOver accessibility to Monopoly.

I received a very positive response.

So, I am asking for your support in contacting Marmalade Games Studio 
with

a
similar request.  I am certain that they will listen to us if we make our
voices heard.

To contact them, simply do the following:

1.
Go to: https://www.marmaladegamestudio.com/contact/

This should take you directly to the contact form.  If it does not then 
go

to:

https://www.marmaladegamestudio.com/

and then click the Contact link.  A short form will be displayed.

2.
In the first edit field, enter your name.

3.
In the second edit field, enter your email address.

4.
In the third and final edit field, enter the text of your message.  I
simply
asked them to make their Monopoly game either self-voicing or VoiceOver
accessible, so that visually impaired people can enjoy the game.

5.
Click the "Send Message" button in order to send them your message.

That's all there is to it.

As always, your support is greatly appreciated and I hope someday I will
have the pleasure of informing the group that the official Parker 
Brothers

Monopoly game, for iOS, is accessible to us all.

Sincerely,

Mark

Hi Kay, I subscribe to that group as well. Thanks. I have money-reader on my

Otherwise I'll find some other way to dispose of them. Have a good day.

Subject: RE: Money Reader

I did buy it, it's a rather expensive app as apps go, $17.99 US and I think 
it was $24.99 Canadian for the lifetime purchase. You can try it out for free 
for 14 days and there is a $0.99 US monthly subscription and a $5.99 annual 
subscription.

If you continue to use it in "free" mode it will read the two lowest bills 
of each currencies, here in Canada that means it would read $5 and $10 bills 
since we don't have $1 bills any more. But our bills are all made from a 
polymer matand are marked with braille so usually it's easier to just check 
them this way. Sometimes if I have a larger deposit at my store with 20 or 30 
bills I may use Cash Reader since it's faster especially if they aren't sorted 
so the braille markings are all facing the same way and I have to look for them.

Cash Reader is in my opinion even more fast and accurate than Money Reader 
was and it even read bills which were folded in half and then in half again.

The other advantage (for some at least) is that if you want the feedback 
silently or if you are deaf-blind ,Cash Reader can also provide the 
identification with vibrations.

As Richard said, it's primary appeal is in how many currencies it supports. 
It is not only limited to the major currencies of the western world like USD, 
CAD, Euro, AUD, NZD and so on, but it literally can read dozens and dozens of 
currencies including a ton of Asian currencies like Philippine Pesos, Thai 
Baht, Indian Rupees as well as pretty much any of the South American 
currencies, a ton of African currencies and much more. They update quite often 
and each time more currencies are added, I actually 

just checked the app store description and while they don't say the total 
number, they do provide a list and I have put the link for the app below for 
those who want to check it out:

I did not say it is a better app, just that if you want more than US

I don't need it, so hopefully someone who bought it can help.

Subject: Some important queries re setting up a new IPhone SE from scratch - 
all help appreciated

Hi all

After any advice/help from people on this list with this situation. I’ve 
ordered a new IPhone SE, and have just had confirmation of its despatch. So 
have some questions re setting it up which I’m hoping people might be able 
to assist with.

Firstly, I know this sounds somewhat daft, but if anyone could e-mail me 
some idiot-proof instructions on how to set it up from scratch, including on 
how to get Voiceover started from the word go I’d be really grateful 
please?. I’m far more nervous about doing it than normal, probably because I 
know all the shops are closed, and sighted friends who would normally be 
able to assist me can’t do so at the moment due to the lockdown. So any 
step-by-step guide much appreciated.

Secondly, is it better to set the phone up over the air?, or is it better to 
set it up through my Mac? I ask this because my Mac is currently away being 
fixed/serviced. So I just wondered whether it would make any difference 
which way I did it?, and if so whether I should wait for my Mac to return 
before attempting set-up?

Finally, can anyone send me some step-by-step idiots instructions on how to 
swap my SIM card over from my currrent IPhone 8 to the new SE?? I’ve never 
done this before, and again, in normal times I’d happily get sighted help 
with this, but obviously I can’t do that right now. So any help appreciated.

My apologies for all the questions, but I really don’t want to make a mess 
of this/muck it up completely/ruin the new phone/etc. So many thanks in 
advance for any help/advice that anyone can give me.

it has the lightning headphone jack just like the phones since the 7. 
So, no 3.5 MM jack.
Hence the discussion about getting the dongle to use headphones that have

Though I am sure the new phone comes with the lightning plug headphones.

Re: to buy SE 2020 from Verizon or Apple?

2020-04-20 Thread Fred Olver

Purchased the SE over the weekend. Apple is giving back $170 toward my 
purchase, that is to say they will refund me that amount for my IPhone 8 after 
they receive it and verify it's condition. Also, had some trouble figuring out 
how to actually buy the phone with my phone and computer on the apple.com site 
so I loaded the apple store application and everything went smoothly.

Verizon’s website says they’ll waive the activation fee if I buy online; maybe 
the same is true if I activate via Apple.  Verizon will unlock the phone after 
60 days.  Apple has helped me in the past when I locked myself out of my phone,

Subject: Calling All Fans of the Parker Brother's Monopoly Board Game

Hello All,

Recently I posted about an on-device, self-voicing Monopoly-like game for
iOS, called EarsOpoly.

While I continue to enjoy the game, I am all but certain that it will 
cease

to function-as-expected in future versions of iOS; primarily because it is
no longer being maintained by the developer, Kid Friendly Software.

A couple of days ago, I contacted the developers of the official Parker
Brothers Monopoly game for iOS, Marmalade Games Studio, requesting that 
they

add VoiceOver accessibility to Monopoly.

I received a very positive response.

So, I am asking for your support in contacting Marmalade Games Studio with 
a

similar request.  I am certain that they will listen to us if we make our
voices heard.

To contact them, simply do the following:

1.
Go to: https://www.marmaladegamestudio.com/contact/

This should take you directly to the contact form.  If it does not then go
to:

https://www.marmaladegamestudio.com/

and then click the Contact link.  A short form will be displayed.

2.
In the first edit field, enter your name.

3.
In the second edit field, enter your email address.

4.
In the third and final edit field, enter the text of your message.  I 
simply

asked them to make their Monopoly game either self-voicing or VoiceOver
accessible, so that visually impaired people can enjoy the game.

5.
Click the "Send Message" button in order to send them your message.

That's all there is to it.

As always, your support is greatly appreciated and I hope someday I will
have the pleasure of informing the group that the official Parker Brothers
Monopoly game, for iOS, is accessible to us all.

Sincerely,

Mark

I would say yes, Josh, I too have an IPhone 8 and have noticed it's slowing

be getting the new SE.

I'm just glad to know that it is coming out, and will still have a

though I just got my iPhone 8 last year, should I ditch my iPhone 8

Everything known about the 2020 'iPhone SE'
By Mike Peterson Friday, April 03, 2020,
The launch of the so-called 2020 "iPhone SE," largely expected to be an
updated iPhone 8-style device, is imminent. Here's what's been discovered
about the subject of rumors for the last three years. The 'iPhone SE' is
expected to have a design basically the same as the iPhone 8. While rumors
about a low-cost iPhone refresh have been circulating for years, it now
appears that Apple will debut the device in early 2020. Here's everything
that's been discovered about the upcoming 4.7-inch iPhone. The 'iPhone SE 
2'

at a glance According to the latest rumors and leaks, here are some key
points about the "iPhone SE. The same footprint as the 4.7-inch iPhone 8
footprint Latest-generation A13 chip and 3GB of RAM 64, 128 and 256GB
storage variants Retain a Home button with Touch ID Retail as low as $399
Larger 5.5-inch "iPhone SE Plus" model at some point 'iPhone SE 2' design
Despite the now possibly confirmed "iPhone SE" moniker, the device is more
likely to be a spiritual successor to the iPhone 8 instead of the popular
4-inch form factor. At this point, that 4.7-inch footprint is so likely 
that

case makers are already going all-in on the size. In late March, cases for
an affordable iPhone 8-style device began arriving at Best Buy . There may
also be a larger version of the "iPhone SE" available, according to leaked
code strings within iOS 14. That device would be akin to the iPhone 8 
Plus,

just with the same updated internals. We're not currently expecting any
major design overhauls like an edge-to-edge display, OLED panel or a
TrueDepth Face ID sensor suite. Like last year's stable of iPads, the 
device

will continue to rely on older tech like Touch ID and will sport aging,
bezeled designs. But its price point and internal upgrades, which we'll 
get

to below, may make it a popular choice for many consumers. 'iPhone SE 2'
specifications A concept render of what the 2020 "iPhone SE" will look 
like.

Courtesy of OnLeaks and iGeeksblog. Apple is definitely going to give the
"iPhone SE" an overhaul in terms of its internal specifications. But users
should expect incremental updates, not major ones. Back in January 2018,
well-connected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that the "iPhone SE 2" would
sport an A13 processor - the same as the CPU in the iPhone 11 - and 3GB of
RAM. More minor updates could include a new Liquid Crystal Polymer antenna
design, which would give the refreshed device better cellular reception 
and

performance. Leaked code in iOS 14 also suggests that the "iPhone SE" will
retain a Touch ID fingerprint sensor, though it may support the so-called
CarKey feature for locking, unlocking and starting compatible vehicles. 
The
latest information indicates that the 2020 "iPhone SE" will be available 
in
64GB, 128GB and 256GB storage configurations and will launch in white, 
black

and PRODUCT(RED) variants. All of this is to say that the new "iPhone SE"
will an entry-level device that will lower the barrier of entry for 
Apple's
latest advancements in silicon, making it an attractive choice for users 
who

have been holding out on upgrading from older iPhones for reasons of price
or familiarity. iPhone SE availability Rumors about the updated device's
launch date have shifted drastically over the years. In summer 2017, 
reports
suggested that a second-generation iPhone SE could debut in early 2018, 
for

example. Now, it appears that the 2020 "iPhone SE" will launch sometime in
April 2020. While a credible tipster indicated that Apple would announce 
the
device on Friday, April 3, another leaker said that the launch is slated 
for

April 15. More confusing are case maker leaks, with at least one
manufacturer potentially tipping an April 5 release date. At this point,
we're comfortable saying that the "iPhone SE" will launch in the very near
future. But an exact day is still up in the a

  Hi,

  I have an iPhhone 8 and my default voice is Samantha the regular not

tried the Siri female voice and Susan Enhanced, and "yesterday" was still

I have a theory, then I’ll tell you how to fix it if you still need to.

If the default voice under VoiceOver Speech is a Siri voice, try changing 
it to something else and see if that fixes it.

You may also want to change the Siri Language under Siri Settings to 
something other than American English.  Not sure if that matters, but that was 
a work around to get rid of the stupid transcriptions on voice mail.

If it still mispronounces yesterday, go to the VoiceOver Speech settings, 
pronunciation.

Add yesterday spelled correctly and in the substitution edit field, spell 
it with u r instead of e r so yesturday

I also make sure it is set to apply to all languages.

  Hi List,

  I know pronunciation issues are miniscule with everything going on now 
but I'm curious why Voiceover seems to have problems with the pronunciation of 
certain words after iOS upgrades. I upgraded to iOS 13.4 yesterday on my iPhone 
8 and I notice that the last syllable of the word yesterday is now pronounced 
as if it begins with the letter t instead of with the letter d. I'm getting 
this same mispronunciation with both Samantha enhanced and Tom enhanced and am 
curious if others are also experiencing it. I was reviewing a list of recent 
app upgrades in the App Store and they are tagged with the upgrade day and I 
got tired of hearing yesterday pronounced as yesterTay.

  Thanks for any confirmation of this mispronunciation issue.

  Hi, Fred, not that I have that kind of money to invest to follow it closely, 
but it’s interesting to check what’s going on once in a while.  

  The first thing you come to when swiping right is the date, and then next is 
the search field which you would double tap like any other such edit field 
using VoiceOver.  I haven’t tried it but presumably you can enter a company 
name or ticker symbol and get a quote.  You then would come to the Dow Jones 
Industrial average with the current value and amount of change either during 
the current trading day or the completion of the last session, then likewise 
for the S 500.  You then come to stock quotes from slected companies.  I am 
not sure how they are selected, they change from day to day, possibly depending 
on trading volume or news items, but Apple is always first, understandably.  
These listings give the company name followed by the ticker symbol and then the 
price and movement just like the DJIA and S  I notice A. T. & T. is 
regularly in my list, possibly because that’s my carrier.  

  After this list, possibly a half dozen or so, you get the Dow Jones again and 
can swipe to related stories from Apple News, which you can presumably double 
tap on to read in more detail, then you come into the like set-up for the S  
The final element is manage watch list.  I don’t know if you can create one 
there or if you have the opportunity to add to the list when you do a search 
for companies you are interested in.  

  I also don’t know if any of this works for getting information on commodities 
or bonds or other types of investments.  Keep in mind that if we are within a 
trading session, you may find VoiceOver interrupting periodically as the 
numbers are updated.  You will remain on the element you were viewing however.  

  That’s my best stab at this just from looking around and playing a bit.  
Anyone else who knows more is welcome to chime in.

  That's surprising, because I know they had one at the NFB national

  I'm interested in one, just need to work on financing, as my funds are

  One of my fellow local chapter members has one that I looked at again

  Hello Everyone,

  Today, I went to the exhibit hall at the 2019 CSUN Assistive Technology 
  Conference here in southern California.

  Among other goals, I was interested in test driving a few Braille 
displays 
  for use with my iOS devices.

  Imagine my surprise when I arrived at the A.P.H. booth and discovered 
that 
  they had no Orbit Reader 20s on hand for visitors to explore.  While I 
was 
  there, 2 other people walked up and asked about the Orbit Reader 20 and 
were 
  equally disappointed at the lack of a demo model.

  I did, however, get a look at an entire host of other BRaile displays, 
from 
  other companies, including the latest version of the Focus 40.  Now, 
that, 
  is a beautiful device.

  Regardless, I was sorely disappointed at not having an opportunity to 
test 
  drive the Orbit Reader 20 Braille display.

  And the beat goes on,

Hi all,
I suppose this is most relevant if your iPhone is on the T-Mobile network 
here in the US or if you were thinking about switching. Again this year, 
T-Mobile is offering a free subscription to MLB TV, which you would get by 
using the MLB at bat app. Now I do have a question which I already asked 
T-Mobile about, and their answer wasn’t entirely helpful. For those of you 
who had the subscription last year, this looks like the same offer, 
activated by using the T-Mobile Tuesday app. But in the email I got from 
T-Mobile, they say you have to have unsubscribed from current subscription 
no later than March 21. I have tried to find a way to do that, in the iTunes 
Store, but of course the subscription isn’t through iTunes so that’s a dead 
letter. T-Mobile said go to settings. That didn’t turn anything up. So for 
those of you who had the subscription last year, how did you unsubscribe?

  Since this particular app was one that has come up here on multiple

appropriate, on-topic, and of value to interested members to let them know 
about recent developments, especially a free trial. This has been welcomed on 
other groups.
  It's a difficult and false distinction to separate the app from the 
service, when the app is the vehicle for that service.
  Further, the service itself would in the past have been considered 
on-topic, because one uses it on an iPhone and it is blindness specific.

  How to Mirror or Cast Your iPhone to The Amazon Fire TV Stick
  Mar 3, 2018

  Amazon’s Fire TV and Fire TV Stick devices are incredibly useful little 
machines. Inexpensive, easy to hack, and, though most people are unaware of the 
feature, able to mirror or cast iPhone and iOS content with ease. With the 
right apps installed you can send just about any video, picture, or music file 
to your Fire TV and enjoy it on the big screen. Keep reading for a full guide 
on how to cast/mirror your iPhone to a Fire Stick!

  Watch Fire TV Safely with a VPN
  No matter what you do online or which device you use to access the internet, 
there’s a chance someone is recording your activity. Governments engage in mass 
surveillance programs, ISPs store and sell user data, and hackers wait for the 
right opportunity to steal your identity. Unencrypted traffic has become 
dangerous in our modern world, even when using devices as simple as a Fire TV.

  The good news is that VPNs can protect you from all sorts of identity 
threats. With a VPN in place your data gets encrypted before it leaves your 
device, locking down private information so no one can trace its location or 
monitor your activity. VPNs make it easy to stay safe and are indespensable 
tools for the modern internet user.

  1. IPVanish – Best VPN for Fire TV

  IPVanish elegantly combines speed and security into the perfect VPN for Fire 
TV. The service deploys a network of over 950 servers in 60 different 
countries, offering a wide selection of IP addresses for a solid foundation of 
anonymity. Your connection is also secured with DNS leak protection and an 
automatic kill switch, while a zero traffic logging policy combined with 
256-bit AES encryption ensures no data can ever fall into the wrong hands. You 
can even install IPVanish directly from your Fire TV’s appstore!

*** Try IPVanish with our EXCLUSIVE deal! Sign up and score a 60% discount 
on yearly plans, only $4.87 per month. You can even use the seven day money 
back guarantee to try before you buy.

  Visit IPVanish »

  2. PureVPN – VPN Privacy and More

  PureVPN does more than just keep your data encrypted and safe. The service 
includes an entire suite of security features designed to protect you online, 
everything from virus protection to malware shields, app blocking, and DNS 
website filtering. You also get the industry standard 256-bit AES encryption on 
all data, automatic kill switch and DNS leak protection, and a zero-logging 
policy on all traffic, complete with access to over 1,000 servers across 140 
different countries. Better still, PureVPN is available to download directly on 
the Amazon Appstore, making it the perfect service to use with your Fire TV!

  Before You Begin – iOS and Fire TV Requirements
  The mirroring process from iOS to Fire TV is pretty straightforward. For the 
most part, you simply need to install the right app on each device, then 
connect them and start casting. There are some prerequisites you should make 
sure to meet before diving in, however.

  Wi-Fi Network
  The one catch to using casting technology is that both your Fire TV and your 
iPhone need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This prevents mirroring 
screen contents from afar, unfortunately, but it ensures an extra level of 
safety and security. You wouldn’t want someone hacking into your Fire TV to 
cast lewd images remotely, after all. The speed of your network can also make a 
big difference. Most connections should suffice, but if there’s a lot of 
traffic at home, you could experience casting lag.

  Fire TV Devices
  At the time of writing there are four generations of Fire TV and Fire Stick 
devices. Some of the casting apps report to work with them all, but others 
insist only third and fourth generation Fire TVs will work. Make sure you’re 
using a newer device to ensure maximum compatibility. It doesn’t matter if you 
use a Fire Stick or a set top Fire TV device

Re: Sling TV and us.

2018-10-20 Thread Fred Olver

Mary, I have the Tosheba Fire TV with Alexa built-in, 41 or 43 inch. I tried 
using both this week. Again, I found that the Fire TV would identify the 
channels, what was on and even the items which one could access if you did not 
wish to watch live TV. I found this especially useful when dealing with TCM, 
Turner Classic Movies and other movie channels, not the premium channels, but 
the ones which come with a subscription to either Sling Orange or Sling Blue. 
An addendum to this is that in some cases, like Ted TV which is available from 
the list of apps which one can use with the Fire tTV and also VH1 that although 
one can open them, they are not necessarily functional. That is to say that one 
can not access the information within some of these apps. This is also true of 
Tune-in for the Fire TV and also Ted for the Fire TV.

  Hi Fred,
  That’s very interesting. I tried a trial of sling TV several weeks ago. I 
also have an Apple TV and a fire TV. And I found it not very accessible on 
either one. I was talking to Chris from Mystic access. And he said it was 
really accessible on the Roku. The Roku voice is so awful that I didn’t go 
there. And I canceled before I have to start paying for the service. So I’m 
wondering when you did your trial, and was the app recently updated?

Resolution of Fire TV problem. I ended up re-setting the unit to factory 
defaults and re-starting Alexa. I did not know the procedure for doing this, 
that's why I took the unit back to factory defaults. I have, since, listened to 
the 8/3 Main Menu which features an overview of the Toshiba Fire TV setup and 
all is well now.

  Hi Fred,

  I don’t know of an easy way to do this, but for baseball the play-by-play 
channels start at channel. 840. So if you go to the search tab and search for 
“ch 840” that will take you to the Atlanta Braves channel, and you can just 
keep pressing “next” until you get to the team you want. 

  You can also search for example “Pittsburgh Pirates Hometown play-by-play,” 
and that should get you to what you want.

  Hi Jim and Richard
  I work in Denmark with people who have a vision disability and have been very 
fond of the Stand Scan. As I see it, it is no longer for sale - do you have any 
knowledge regarding this?

  Best regards

Good afternoon,

I’m seriously considering getting a StandScan Pro to use with my iPhone, 
especially with such scanning apps as the KNFBReader.  I’d like to know 
people’s thoughts on it.  How easy is it for a totally blind person to not only 
use but also to assemble and disassemble?  I know it comes with a power supply 
or a battery pack.  Do you recommend one over the other?

I figured a tool like this would allow me to take much better pictures of 
things than what I currently take.  

If you don’t like the StandScan, what would you use instead that would give 
me the same results?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Jim

Re: Regarding Apple tv, and cable provider

2017-04-14 Thread Fred Olver

Terry, if you have Spectrum, what you can do is to download the apps which 
are channels on the spectrum menu. For example, if you want A and Spectrum 
offers it as a part of your subscription you can download it to your Apple 
TV. Go in to the app store and do a search for TV and you should be able to 
find all of the TV related apps which are there.

Subject: Regarding Apple tv, and cable provider

Hello everyone,


If this message already went through, I do apologize. I don't see it in
my sent folder, and I seem to be having some email issues.


Anyway, I was wondering, how do I go about advocating to get my cable
provider a part of Apple tv's choices? Or Apple, in general?

Is this even possible?

If so, who would I even go about contacting? And do you all think it's
worth it?


I see that right now very few options are available, and I don't really
understand why.

I have Spectrum, which used to be Charter. But a while back they took
over 2 other companies. But I am sure many of you are aware of this.


Anyway, I would like to have my cable provider as an option, because I
would like to use certain Apps on my Apple tv, provided they will be
accessible.

For instance, Investigation, Discovery, go.


If anyone has any thoughts, or ideas, please feel free to share them
with me.


Thank you,


Terri

can get over 100 channels for 35 bucks, and add on HBO and cenamax for only 5

It is not correct about an Apple TV and a keyboard. AppleTV 
fourth-generation works with Bluetooth keyboards and voiceover. Probably not 
with the braille display, although I don't know that for absolutely sure. As 
for doing other things while  watching Netflix or DirecTV, I don't think you 
can. It wouldn't make any sense, because sighted people need to be looking 
at the screen while they do these things. So having the app run in the 
background with no picture showing would be useless.

Subject: Fourth GEN Apple TV and the new VoiceOver audio channels setting

I just got my fourth generation Apple TV upgraded to the latest version of 
tvOS. It has that new feature where you were supposed to be able to send the 
audio from VoiceOver to somewhere other than where the audio from the Apple 
TV program goes. This feature is absolutely not working here. I paired the 
Apple TV with a Bluetooth speaker. Everything goes there. VoiceOver goes 
there. Apple TV programming goes there instead of to our sound bar. There is 
no way to split it off, so that the audio from VoiceOver stays on the 
Bluetooth, but the audio from the TV goes back to the sound bar. In that 
audio routing thing in the voiceover area, if the Bluetooth speaker is 
paired, it is the only setting. You can set voiceover anywhere else. And 
with that sent there, if you go into the audio video and try to send audio 
back to the television, everything goes there. And then the Bluetooth 
connection is lost for voiceover. If there are instructions on some specific 
order of how you have to do this, I would certainly love it. I have been 
looking forward to this feature for months, because my AppleTV voiceover is 
basically unusable when sent through our sound bar, because so much of 
VoiceOver gets cut off. It goes great through the Bluetooth speaker. But we 
don't want program audio going there too.
