Alex,



The game 7 Little Words is accessible. My thought is, the gestures to play the 
game is different from the voiceover gestures. A 3 finger flick switches from 
words & characters. A 2 finger swipe from left to right reads the clues by 
letter or word. Swiping in the opposite direction the clues will be 
spelled/spoken in reverse. A 1 finger swipe left to right moves down by line. 
Swiping right to left moves up by line. A 1 finger swipe down jumps from the 
clues section to the letter tiles section & a 1 finger swipe up moves from the 
letter tiles to the clues section. I hope these instructions helps you to be 
able to play. The game structure was changed 2+ years ago because coding the 
game for Android is easier than APple, So the game developer just has to do a 
minor tweak in order for the game to work on the Apple platform & voiceover 
users making use of the Direct Touch feature.



Donna





Alison, I tried it, and it’s horrible, completely inaccessible in my view!

Hello. I have been trying to play Seven Little Words. When I open the app the 
rotor will not turn so that I can enable direct touch. Has anybody had this 
issue, and if so, is there a fix?

Hello I have music on my iPhone that I paid to download through iTunes and I'm 
noticing that some songs are grayed out and are indicating that they are not

this is happening. I did speak with apple and they tried to fix it with no 
resolve. If anyone knows why this is happening or how to rectify it please let

And for us with both Alexa and google smart speakers in the house, it's amazing 
how I am sometimes in the kitchen where we have one of the Google speakers with 
a display and I am 5 feet away from it and speak in the direction of the 
speaker and I ask something and next thing the Nest Mini in the living room 
replies even though it's 15 feet away and completely around a corner and wall, 
same happens sometimes with Alexa, we have an Echo Dot 4th gen in the bedroom 
and may say something and instead I hear the Sonos One speakers in the bathroom 
reply and that has happened with the bathroom door closed.
I recently read on a Sonos Facebook gtroup that adding Alexa to Sonos makes it 
less reliable, not sure if that really is so, but maybe it is.

Siri is not the only dumb one out there.

We have timers set in Alexa for different things.

We have a lot of Sonos speakers in the house, the one in our bedroom does not 
have the microphone and so does not support Alexa.
IN our Kitchen we have two that do have the microphone and have one timer set 
up called "Carol's Timer" which is for steeping her tea.

This morning, standing in the kitchen next to the speaker, I said, "Start 
Carol's timer," and Alexa responded, "Bedroom doesn't support that."

This sort of thing happens at a similar frequency with Siri being dumb, which 
is what we get for depending on "Artificial Intelligence."  And I do mean 
Artificial!

I have folders too. I’ve been using iPhones for years. But after a while, you 
get more apps. And besides, even if you know precisely what folder an app is 
in, you still have to open the folder find the app and open it. If Siri worked 
like it should, it would be much more efficient to just use it to open apps. 
But even this morning, when I say Open such and such app and give the precise 
name, it comes back and asks me which app do you want this one that one or 
another one, all in the same general app category. This after I’ve stated 
something specifically. Anyway, this just started with the so-called upgrade to 
17.1. Feels like a regression to me.  And there wasn’t that much to regress 
from. I still prefer iOS to android. But really Apple. Get it together on Siri.

Use distilled water. Tap water can have impurities, minerals, and residue that 
could move into your lungs as the CPAP unit  evaporates the water and turns 
water to mist. That’s not good for you.

I just downloaded the ResMed app. This is  from limited experience. It seems 
the app doesn’t control my ResMed CPAP device. It seems to do the  following:

  *   Link to  existing Web-based sleep records showing records of hours slept 
with the CPAP in operation.
  *   Display results of  what may be a scoring system for quality of sleep, 
sleep apnea events each hour, and  reports of mask leaks. (Evidently the ResMed 
devices, MyAir 10 and above, report  this information and it’s placed on the 
Web and password protected.)
  *   Present video tutorials to help the user have a better experience.

As I work with the app, I’ll report further.

WayAround is the app for your smart device that provides on-demand details 
about everyday things. The simple tag-and-scan approach lets you quickly and 
easily identify things around you. It also provides extra details, like how 
something works or when it expires.
The result? Doing more of the things you want, with more confidence and more 
independence.

With Information Rich Audio Tags
Sometimes the little things can cause the biggest frustrations. WayAround is 
great for all the places in your home or office where you'd like better 
information, faster. Since our tags come as magnets, buttons, clips, and 
stickers, you can put them just about anywhere.

Sometimes I just don’t understand what Siri is doing. I just asked Siri to 
“open bard Mobile“. This is a command I use a lot and I really never had a 
problem with it until now. Upon issuing this command, I heard Siri respond you 
don’t have anyone named Howard in your contacts. That is just about the dumbest 
thing I’ve seen Siri do recently, and there have been a lot of similar 
stupidity‘s on series part. I just don’t get it. Regular dictation seems quite 
accurate. But interacting with Siri to get Siri to do something on the device? 
Oh, brother! It’s like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates. You never know what 
you’re going to get.
I will say, however, that the only problem I seem to be having with dictation 
these days is Siri putting periods where they do not be long. Apparently, Siri 
thinks that any sort of complex sentence needs to be broken up even if it 
really is a perfectly good sentence, and does not need To be broken up.

blue tooth question

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

Hello I have power beats and I'm currently using 2 phones. One is personal and 
the 2nd is for work. Both are iPhones.

My question is whether or not it is possible to have one ear connected for one 
device and the other for a different device. If I use them on my personal phone 
and want to switch each time I have to connect to the other device.

partial sound

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

Hello all, for some reason I am not receiving sound when I receive new emails. 
I get sound with text and other things. I have checked settings and nothing is 
turned off. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

I was told by the apple store that my speaker is having some issues but I 
didn't think that this would cause me to not receive sound and it is only 
happening with email notifications.

I have noticed that ever since I installed the first release of iOS 15 that I 
no longer get audible notifications when I receive email.  I used to get these 
notifications, and as far as I can tell none of my email settings or 
notification settings have changed, but I no longer get the notifications.

It hasn't been a big deal, but since I am going to be setting up some email 
alerts from an application at work, I would like to get some indication that I 
have received email on my phone.

Is there anything I should check?  I am currently running iOS 15.3 on an se

Hi Chuck,

I strongly encourage you to set up face ID on your new iPhone. Touch ID is
not available on iPhone swithout home buttons and having used phones with
both types of biometric identification, face ID works much better than touch
ID.
Good luck with your new iPhone and I hope FlickType Classic is working well
on it.

Hello if the key pad is showing you would have to double tap hide keyboard at 
the bottom. Then you would go to the top and the hold button should be selected 
you would need to double tap it to get back to the caller on hold.

There might be other ways to do this but this is how I do it.

Hello,
To connect multiple calls, once you are in one call, you need to find the ad 
call button. This is usually located at the bottom of the screen. You may need 
to hide the keypad to find it. When you tap that button, you then can call your 
next party. When they answer, you will then have the option to merge calls.

Hello I have read some info regarding google cellular service (google fi). Is

Sound help

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

Hello I have 2 iPhones. One is a SE for personal use and the other is an 8 for 
work.

I am receiving no auditory sounds when emails are deleted on the personal phone 
but VoiceOver says item deleted. On the work phone Voice over says item delete 
it but I also get an additional sound. I have made sure that all sound settings 
are set to on.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

RE: Speech problem

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

I have this same problem with my SC. For whatever reason the sound goes out and 
you hear nothing but the sounds when you are touching the screen.

I have my phone set to turn voiceover on and off with a pushing the home button 
3 times.

Most of the times I have to do it several times until I hear it say voiceover 
on.

I was hoping that this was corrected with the latest update but it wasn't. HTH

Question

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

Hello I am looking for an app that allows someone to send messages only but 
doesn't allow for members in the group to respond. It is for a church and they 
want to use it for announcements only but want to avoid everyone responding 
causing everyone to receive the responses. If anyone knows if anything like 
this exists please let me know.

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

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

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

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

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

RE: Time to grab IOS 14.5

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

Sorry, I meant to say that the new app will not work with the older model of 
the instant pot. The previous model is blue tooth and the new model is wifi.

No, you cannot use the newer app with the old pots in my experience.
If someone knows differently, I'm all ears please.
I will lose the Instant Pot and my weight scale when i get a new phone so my 
hope was to keep my 8+ around for just that purpose so I'd like to not lose the 
IP bluetooth model just yet. I know there's always a risk.

RE: accessible recumbent exercise bicycle

Hello I am able to use it to get what I need. I am only interested in the 
amount of time I use it from day to day, my heart rate while riding, and 
sometimes I look at how many calories it says I have burned.

I use an app called my cloud fitness with it and I am able to get my status 
such as calories, time, miles, heart rate, ETC.

The app does have plans available for cost but I don't use that. I select 
manual and ride for a certain amount of time. It also keeps track of your stats 
if you want to go back and look at it later.

This is not the only bike that works with this app.

This is not the only bike that works with this app.

I’ve been posting questions on Amazon and getting answers and here’s what I’ve 
learned so far.


  1.  When you place the phone into the case and plug it in with the USB C 
cable, it charges the phone to capacity first and then the case.
  2.  If you use the phone unplugged and in the case and in charging mode, it 
will continue to charge the phone until the case is exhausted.
  3.  It seems that the case is to be used as a power bank back-up to the phone 
and not a smart battery case as the iphone 7 apple case would be used. You use 
the phone with the case’s charging mode turned off by double-tapping the back 
case button and single-tapping it when the phone needs to be re-charged. The 
apple 7 apple smart case fits the SE and will I Believe use the phone’s power 
first and then the cases.
  4.  When you plug the phone/case combination into a port with the USB C 
Cable, the phone charges first and then the case. I believe the charging ceases 
when both have reached capacity.
  5.  One person thought the induction or magnetic charging for the phone was 
considerably slower than plugging the phone into a lightning cable and charger 
but this wasn’t universally thought. Some thought the charging process was very 
quick.





That’s all I know. I may go back to the apple 7 smart case because its use 
seems more seamless.

RE: Smart cooker app does not work with iOS 14.5

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

I had the blue tooth model and yes it was absolutely awesome. I now have the 
newer model and I like the device but the app that runs it is not like the 
previous smart cooker app. 

It is very difficult to operate. Most of the time I have my sighted family 
members to set it to avoid overcooking something. 

Maybe we need to reach out to the company and voice our concerns with the new 
app and ask that they make it more user friendly for those of us who are blind 
or visually impaired.

Johna,
I didn’t mean to devalue your message. It’s just that it sounds like this 
device that you got doesn’t actually offer as much Accessibility as what we 
just lost. The thing I like the most about the Bluetooth instant pot was that I 
could actually control it. I could change the time from the default. I could 
tell what was going on. How much time was left etc. So, the one you got sounds 
OK, except it smaller than the IP. And you still have to do a cheat sheet. So 
I’m kind of bummed by the whole thing.

Hey all!
I wanted to write and ask a few quick questions as we continue developing 
Supersense!
First, we're working on adding something that will describe the visual aspects 
of an image. Would you prefer a textual description, like alt text, or would 
you prefer to explore the image on the screen of the phone similar to Seeing AI.
Along the same lines, we're almost finished with our column detector, and our 
developers are curious to know if you'd like to see the layout of the document 
(which info is in which columns) or just the properly-translated text.
Let me know what you think, and thanks for your help!

All the best,

Hi folks

The last update is a serious accessibility regression.

FB has made the back-button to leave a posting totally unaccessibile. So to go 
back to your newsfeet after you have reacted or answered a post you can 
nolonger do this.

However there is a workaround by performing the scrub gesture but sometimes 
even this does not work. This can be very frustrated.
These are dark times in which some of us are more dependent on social media 
contacts and news.

So you'd better not update and please do all write to facebook accessibility.

It wasn't mentioned but I'm hoping that all of the direct touch business will 
be no more.

iOS 14.4 coming later today with Apple Watch Unity face support, bug fixes, and 
more
Chance 
Miller
[Image removed by sender.]
Apple is releasing iOS 14.4 and iPadOS 14.4 to the general public later today 
after previously beta testing with developers and public beta users. The update 
brings changes to the Camera app, bug fixes for keyboard input lag, and much 
more. It also includes support for the new Apple Watch Unity watch faces.
Apple made the announcement in a press release this morning 
detailing
 new initiatives for Black History Month. We expect the update to be released 
around 1 pm ET/10 am PT. Apple will also release watchOS 7.3 
today.

iOS 14.4 features
Apple says that iOS 14.4 includes support for recognizing smaller QR codes in 
the Camera app, as well as the option to classify Bluetooth device types in 
Settings. Notably, the update also adds new notifications for when your iPhone 
can't verify if you're using a "genuine Apple camera."
iOS 14.4 also includes a handful of bug fixes related to HDR photography, the 
Messages app, and more. There is a fix for keyboard lag, which is an issue that 
has been plaguing many iPhone users since iOS 14 was first released.
iOS 14.4 includes the following improvements for your iPhone:

  *   Smaller QR codes can be recognized by Camera
  *   Option to classify Bluetooth device type in Settings for correct 
identification of headphones for audio notifications
  *   Notifications for when the camera on your iPhone is unable to be verified 
as a new, genuine Apple camera in iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and 
iPhone 12 Pro Max
This release also fixes the following issues:

  *   Image artifacts could appear in HDR photos taken with iPhone 12 Pro
  *   Fitness widget may not display updated Activity data
  *   Typing may be delayed and word suggestions may not appear in the keyboard
  *   The keyboard may not come up in the correct language in Messages
  *   Audio stories from the News app in CarPlay may not resume after being 
paused for spoken directions or Siri
  *   Enabling Switch Control in Accessibility may prevent phone calls from 
being answered from the Lock Screen
iOS 14.4 will available to users via an over-the-air update in the Settings app 
later today. Simply open the Settings app, choose General, then choose Software 
Update. As usual, if the update does not immediately appear for download, keep 
checking as it sometimes takes a while to roll out to all users.

Re: direct touch area.

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

Good, I hope it is going away. I use my phone and tablet to watch TV with the 
AT app and direct touch area has made it very difficult for me to navigate. 
I’m looking forward to it no longer being available. I did call Apple about 
this and I was told that it is not an iOS issue and that I needed to contact 
AT

Hi all,

I am writing this to you with mBraille. The direct touch stuff is slowly going 
away with the new version of iOS. That is all I can say now as to not violate 
the disclosure agreement.

I just hope it is resolved in 14.4.

Hello I use the AT TV mobile app on my iPhone and iPad. I record shows and 
watch them later. Now with the direct touch area I am having problems fast

turn off direct touch. Is anyone else having this problem?

I’ve turned it off but it looks like you have to turn it off for each app

When you turn direct touch from the rotor can you then run the app? I only have 
used this in mBraille so not sure how this works in other apps. Sorry. It 
should be on to get the app to work. ATt needs to update their app. Perhaps 
they have but Apple is lagging in approval. That is what is happening in 
mBraille.

I will take a stab at this. When I use mBraille I hear direct touch area. I go

I will take a stab at this. When I use mBraille I hear direct touch area. I go 
to my rotor and look for direct touch area. I flick up to on and all is well. I 
am guessing this is what you are seeing. Hope that helps.

RE: How to change the Apple ID of a purchased app

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

I too am having sort of the same issue. I have an iphone for work as well as 
personal. 

I purchased apps to share between both phones but when I update I get the same 
message that some apps are no longer being shared with me. 

My question is can the apple ID be changed or once you select your apple ID it 
is permanent?

Thank you

Hi,
A few years ago, my friend purchased a free app on my iPhone using his Apple 
ID. Each time I change the phone or do a reset, I need to input the password of 
his Apple ID In order to redownload the app. Is it possible for me to change 
the Apple ID to mine?

How does one change screens in Zoom with Safari?  I accidentally got to the 
page I wanted in order to mute my audio, but I could never get back to it to 
unmute.  I didn't find tabs on the top or bottom, a back button, any stinkin' 
way to move from the meeting screen to the home screen etc.  Can it be done?
Thx,

RE: Exercise bikes

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

I want to thank all of you for your responses. I have been researching bikes 
and the prices and features are all over the place. 

I really like the idea of getting a bike just so that I can work out rather 
than worrying about connectivity. I have also seen that some of them require 
additional apps with monthly fees and I'm not interested in paying more 
especially for a feature that may or may not work. 

I have some chronic lower back pain and my doctor is recommending that I use a 
recumbent bike to build up the core muscles in the lower back while also 
providing some support while riding. 

Again thanks for all of your suggestions.

Hi,
please do yourself A favor and  research before purchasing an indoor cycle that 
comes equipped with a computer as some of these computers are not accurate.
I have a indoor cycle that is comparable to the spin bikes that you find at the 
gym. honestly, all you need is a rpm/cadence sensor and you are good to go in 
terms of getting a good workout. An Apple Watch will help you track other 
metrics if that is what you're into. if you have an indoor cycle with a 
rpm/cadence sensor as an add-on, you can follow along with spin class 
instructors that are giving you information like spin at 80% or hundred percent 
etc.
For something like this, you probably won't spend over $700 with a decent 
indoor cycle and sensor.

It is located on the top left side of the phone. With the phone facing you if 
you push the button to the back of the phone it is muted and the other way is

Check to see if your mute switch is switch on. If not, check the “sound and 
haptics” section of settings, to see if your volume is low.

Hello:
My new SE 2020 doesn’t ring when a call comes in.  It just verbally announces 
an incoming call.  Also, announced incoming text messages are announced 
verbally and not with the initial notifying ding.  How do I change these issues 
to have the ring tone for calls and ding for text messages.  Thanks in advance.

Have you gone into Notifications and turned them off there?

Hi,

Sorry for the subject line vagueness but essentially ever since around iOS 13.3 
or so I have a few apps mainly news ones which keep showing up in notification 
center with a notification asking me if i want to keep receiving notifications. 
When I attempt to interact upon them after VoiceOver verbalizes them I end up 
invoking a notification from another app thus there seems to be no way to 
dismiss them or say yes to them.  It is driving me mad.  Has anyone else 
encountered this and is there any fix? I tried deleting and downloading the 
apps again thinking if I answered the notifications prompt on set up that'd set 
things right but so far no joy.  Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Phones manufactured.

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

I did not say that we have no control over the working conditions. I said we 
have no control over where products are made. Meaning the country where the 
manufacture makes the product. I'm not for as I stated before deplorable and 
unfair working conditions. I don't that was the intent of anyone who commented 
on this topic when they indicated how much they love their phones and how much 
having them has contributed to their quality of life. I know that was not the 
intent of my comment.

You are absolutely correct, it's fine for a phone to be made in China or India 
or wherever, but you are not correct in saying that we have no control over 
what working conditions are in place there. Investigative reports have exposed 
such horrible places often enough or you hear about some tragedy like that fire 
in a clothing factory in Bangladesh some years ago after which some pretty 
horrific details came to light about the conditions there and the companies who 
had clothing made there. We can demand from our companies to set certain 
standards and, if they don't do so, buy products from a company which does. We 
live in a global economy and that will not change despite America's current 
phase of protectionism, it happened before after all, but it's up to every 
person to set standards for themselves and to expect others with whom we deal 
whether on a personal level or for the products we buy to also have standards. 
It's not OK to say "Give me a $299 iPhone and I really don't care how you do it 
and whether half the components are made by kids who are paid a few cents a 
day". Fortunately Apple does have standards and if companies do then it may 
indeed be a blessing if they go to China, India, Vietnam, the Philippines or 
wherever to make their products, they can still do so cheaper than with lavbour 
costs here and yet the workers there make a decent living. It's no different 
with call centers, people often complain about agents who have accents because 
they are in India or the Philippines, but I doubt those same people would want 
to pay 50% more for whatever service because the call centers are in the US 
where the wages are much higher let alone finding enough people for the work.

I cannot speak for others but my comment was in no way to be taken to mean that 
I think It's ok for anyone to work in deplorable conditions.

Most of what we use is made in other countries and we have no control over 
that. In my opinion it is crazy to get rid of my iPhone because it may have 
been manufactured in China and buy an android phone that too could have been 
manufactured in another country. Not all items made in other countries means 
that the workers are or have been mistreated.

I don't think anyone should work in conditions where they are untreated or not 
being paid for the work that they do.

RE: Phones manufactured.

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

I cannot speak for others but my comment was in no way to be taken to mean that 
I think
It's ok for anyone to work in deplorable conditions. 

Most of what we use is made in other countries and we have no control over 
that. In my opinion it is crazy to get rid of my iPhone because it may have 
been manufactured in China and buy an android phone that too could have been 
manufactured in another country. Not all items made in other countries means 
that the workers are or have been mistreated. 

I don't think anyone should work in conditions where they are untreated or not 
being paid for the work that they do.

I cannot for the life of me imagine saying I don’t care where my device is made 
as long as it makes my life easier. I just..I can’t imagine such blatant

The fact is that most of what we use now is manufactured in another country. It 
is easy to hear something and run with it than it is to research it on your 
own.

Googles American,

HTC I think is Korean,
Huwaei  or however it's spelt is Chinese Nokia is now made in Canada I believe 
So go figure

Yes iPhones are made in china but so is most of the technology these days,

 HP have a major factory  the same province as the covid19 virus came out of, 
Dell have a factory  in a near by region of china  As do apple as well.

A difficult person in my life told me that people where she lives are flocking

China.

I ignored what she said, but was so tempted to ask, where are Android phones

RE: Phones manufactured.

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

I totally agree. Prior to becoming an iPhone user I would have to purchase an 
external software to download to my phone so that I could then only have access 
to some of the phone's features. That software was almost $300. This was $300 
after first having purchased the phone. Now my iPhone comes equipped right from 
the box with what I need to operate it independent of any external software or 
add-ons. This has changed my life and has allowed me to do so much 
independently and now I don't have to ask for assistance from someone else to 
get things done. Yes, there will be glitches but I can live through them.

Honestly, I personally could care less where my iPhone was made.  All I know is 
how much easier my life has become since I purchased and learned to use my 
iPhone.  It is so much fun to be able to not only make phone calls to do things 
like order pizza which I did a few hours ago, but to also listen to books, send 
text messages, and listen to OTR shows, listen to music, and to read Ebooks.  I 
know people are concerned because of the Virus, but that isn't a good enough 
reason to give up your iPhone.

Hello yes, I have this same problem. I first noticed it since a couple of 
updates back. I have not found a work around. It's strange in that this doesn't 
happen every time I'm reading mail but it is occurring the majority of the 
time. I hoped that this would be fixed with the latest update but it didn't 
happen.

Hello all
i've just moved to the new SC from an iPhone 6 actually I had an interim phone 
which was a 6S with 13 on it. But there's something buggy about the Mail 
program on my new phone which Apple Accessibility has said is a bug. I'm 
wondering if anyone else is noticing it and if they found a workaround.
after I read a message and delete it I am thrown back to the very top of the 
page which says Gmail. From there I have to swipe down to get to the next 
message. It's not automatically keeping me where the messages are. It's  a 
nuisance to have to keep going from the top back down to wear the next unread 
message starts to be listed. I don't know  if collapsing the messages after 
reading or not makes any difference. Seems I've tried both and I still have 
this problem. Has anyone found a workaround or does anyone know what to do 
about the sort of thing? Am I the only one this is happening to? No I'm not 
paranoid! Sent from my iPhone

Do you get the money on the first of the month? If so that is SSI and SSDI 
comes on a different day. There is also a maximum amount that SSSI recipients 
receive and it is under $800 per month.

 All recording apps will record until your iPhone runs out of memory.
 You can tell Siri to record a memo, but I don't think you can tell it to 
 stop recording.  I've never tried but I suspect that once the mic is being 
 used to record, Siri is unavailable.
 HTH,
 
 Headphones with no microphone will allow her to use the built-in

 The Voice Memos app on the iPhone is simple and quite good.

 Hope everyone is having a blessed day!
 
 I'm trying to assist a friend with a project she's taking on.
 
 She wish to write a book, but is going the ghostwriter route.
 
 Her plan is too record all of her thoughts via voice recording app on her 
 iPhone 8.
 
 The problem she's running into is that her voice is being recorded, but so 
 is VoiceOver. That isn't acceptable, especially when someone else is 
 listening to the recordings to take notes.
 
 Can someone suggest too me a simple voice recording app for iOS that can 
 be stopped and started with Siri?
 
 If no such app exists, something that is easy too operate if Siri is 
 disabled/turned off. Maybe by hitting the up (Start) or down (Stop) volume 
 key?
 
 Having no time restrictions on how long the recording can be would be nice 
 too.
 
 Any suggestions?

RE: Blind Square

I had to delete it and re-install and now I’m having no issues. It’s working

First, make sure everything is out of the app switcher.
Reboot your phone.
If that still happens, you may have to delete and redownload the app.

RE: update on the Bluetooth Instant pot

[Laury, Shawnese (LEO)]

I would have to disagree with you. As a parent of 2 minor children who are 
involved in several extra curricular activities after school multiple days a 
week, the instant pot has nothing to do with being lazy. It allows me to cook 
healthy and nutritional meals for my family without having to slave over a 
stove for hours. The app allows someone like me with no usable vision to be 
able to operate the device. If there wasn’t an app I would have to memorize 
several buttons and their functions and/or find a way to mark them.

It’s a multi-function pressure cooker which can also be a rice cooker, slow

used to be a Bluetooth model which could be operated with an app and now there 
is the so-called Smart WiFi model which as the name implies gets connected to

I have searched the app on my phone and I'm trying to find out how to turn on 
the descriptive feature. My husband who is sighted was able to do it after the

will it be turned on for everyone or only for individual profiles?

The Accessibility of both the iOS app and the Apple TV  is great. There are no 
unlabeled buttons the navigation is simple enough. I did have some loading

the last day or so.

I do know most of the newer movies have Audio Description as My wife and I

 Greetings. AS the subject says, I am wondering if there are any 
 early adopters of the Disney Plus service/app, how accessible it is 
 with VoiceOver, and how many movies/shows are audio described? This 
 is a new streaming service starting today which is competitively 
 priced at
 $6.99 US I believe. Disney has several major properties including 
 their own content, Pixar, Star Wars, Marval, and others I'm 
 forgetting. They also have content and shows from National 
 Geographic, which is also appealing. Considering they are priced 
 below NetFlix, it is a tempting offer, provided there's a fair 
 amount of described content.
