Re: ot: features for braille-users with windows-screenreaders
In Windows it is the braille device that sets the commands and not the screen reader. I use a Focus 40 and have a list of commands. The commands would probably be a little different with another braille display.

Re: Do you use ATM to cash your money?
I attended the NFB convention and went to the booths where the company who makes the majority of ATMs was demonstrating the traditional ATM and a touch screen ATM. I asked about apps and they are not pursuing it at this time. I think being able to use your smart phone would be great because we all know exactly how to use it. The company will not introduce flat screen ATMs in the U.S. any time in the near future because of current requirements in the ADA that need to be changed first.

RE: Do you use ATM to cash your money?
Eileen, the touch screen I tried at the NFB convention used head phones and speech. There will not be touch screens in the U.S. until there can be clarifications in the ADA. I didn't find it hard to get money using the touch screen and speech. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Eileen Misrahi Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2015 11:58 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Do you use ATM to cash your money? My question to you are: If in the future the ATM companies may opt for touch screens, where will this leave us?, Will we be back to square one like several years ago when the NFB sued Diebold?, and What was the companies response in regards to accessibility if they choose to proceed with touch screens? All I can say is that the POS machines in various types of establishments have become less accessible. I can swipe my card, put the pin in, but the ability to select cash back and to accept the amount of purchase is not accessible because these options are on a touch screen. This makes me once again dependent upon others to complete my transaction. To answer another post about the ATM machines in the US, all of the banks that I need to perform a transaction with have headphone jacks. For the most part, I don’t have any problems using the machines if I do elect to use them. Since most computer software in the ATMs are still on XP, I usually go into the bank to do all of my banking or at home with online services. At least at home, I can control the security aspect as best as I can.

Re: Gonna give Uber a try for the first time this week
People have had problems with drivers and dogs but that is also true with regular taxis. NAGDU has filed a suit against Oober in California. On 6/13/15, Cristóbal crismuno...@gmail.com wrote: As far as the dog, while in theory, you and your service animal are protected udner the ADA, in practice, you may find the reality to be totally different. Maybe the best way to avoid any unpleasant issues or drivers when it comes to the dog is to have your profile photo of you and your dog all harnessed and ready to go. At least this way, whoever accepts your fair when you put out a request should at the very least be aware that you have a guide. I know with Lyft, you can at the end of the ride when rating the driver also tip a set amount or enter in an amount you deem fit. I haven't used Uber in a while, but don’t' recall this being an option in the app. I believe you can set a fixed tip amount within your profile page online. I don’t' know if that's ideal in case you get a rude or crappy driver, but there you go. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of blindcowgirl1...@gmail.com Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2015 1:58 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Gonna give Uber a try for the first time this week At the end of the ride, the app automatically charges your credit card.

Re: Trouble logging in to the bard site
I have not had any problems and I logged in using the app last night. Yes, you can and should use the same user name and password for both the computer and app. On 1/26/15, Lori Dent loriand...@ohiohills.com wrote: Hi all, Last night I was having problems logging in to the main bard site from my computer. So I changed my password to a new one and I was able to successfully log in and download books to my computer.

I also last night successfully chaged my old pass word to a new one but like I've said I can't log in to the moble bard app either. So I have 2 questions to ask. 1. Has anyone else besides myself been having any problems with logging in to the main bard web site or loging in to the moble bard web site? 2. Can you use the same password and email adress to log in at the main bard website and on the moble bard app? Any help and suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Re: KNFB reader? OpenBook?, or other?
I have Kurzweil 1000 and KNFB Reader. If I want to read a lot of information like a novel or a chapter in a book I use my Kurzweil. If I want a quick scan of a few pages or my mail I use the KNFB Reader. KNFB Reader is great and it is another piece of technology that really helps me.

Re: prospective buyer
I think most people would tell you that learning to use the iPhone can be difficult at times. You can do many things using your voice and many of the things you want to do are possible on the iPhone but, again, it can be very frustrating in the beginning. I would definitely recommend that you find another blind iPhone user who can show you how the phone works. I think most of us have developed patience through our iPhone experiences. On 11/14/14, Deidre Muccio deim...@verizon.net wrote: Hello all I am finally getting ready to enter the new world of advanced technology, as best it suits us as visually impaired individuals. According to my sister who has an old I Phone 4s, the I Phone is the only phone to consider in terms of voice over and accessibility. She loves hers and has had no trouble with the apps she uses. However, reading posts in the last day since I’ve joined is a bit alarming. I don’t know if one of the issues with an update that renders Safari troublesome is something quirky that occurred with a recent update or has to do with Safari and voice over as it’s existed for awhile now. What I will need in a smart phone are features that allow me to do everything possible with just a tap or swipe. I do not want to type numbers or letters. In addition to being totally blind, my fingers are often numb to the point that I cannot identify clothing, numbers on a phone pad, etc. I can move my fingers I just can’t identify things easily when they are numb. If I have to type on the surface of the phone and search out letters, I will likely be doing myself no more good than if I were typing. I need to keep an appointment calendar. I need to keep records and set memos and reminders. I need to be able to do E Mail by listening to incoming posts and by dictating outgoing posts. I’m not interested in texting. Currently I use Outlook on a desktop PC. I need to do Internet searches, read PDf files, shop, log onto Face Book, download Bookshare, NLS, Blind Mice movies, Newsline magazines and Newspapers. I might want to check out offerings on Hulu. I’d like to be able to easily access audio only archives of various podcasts of political radio personalities. Skype works well I hear and some camera features work extremely well on the I Phone with voice over. I was working on a novel this summer and had to stop because typing was aggravating the carpal tunnel. I understand that a dictation program akin to or by the same people who designed Dragon is part of the I Phone. Does it work for more lengthy word processing? Beyond that depending on whether or not I buy something through a company like Verizon as opposed to buying minutes I would want to use GPS. I don’t have any help here from anyone that is using features specifically useful for a blind individual. My tolerance for fumbling, lags in information coming up, buggy software is very very low. I’m certainly capable of learning if given proper instruction and by that I mean in person instruction by a savvy user. I doubt I’d have the patience to teach myself using a reading a manual or help files type approach. Just being honest here! I don’t have a lot of hope that anyone from the Verizon store will know what I need to know in terms of the voice over features. I hope to find someone in my area who is using their phone well and can demo for me. I hope many of you here will tell me to go for it.

Family sharing is the new iOS 8 way to share apps, music, calendars, etc. Home sharing is sharing your iTunes over your home network, or something like that. So, if both of you are logged into the app store with the same ID, he will still be able to download apps that you have purchased which is how it has always worked. You can have up to 5 devices on the same ID. So, if I buy an app, and my wife wants it on her device, I can go to her settings, itunes and app store, sign her out of her apple id, log in with mine, download the app, then sign out of the store, log her back in and all is well. Likely when that app needs an update, it will take my password to update it. Richard The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying.

Re: KNFBReader sluggish on iPad mini retina
You may be having this problem because the KNFB Reader is only supported on the IPhone 5, 5S, 6 and 6+.

Re: KNFBReader sluggish on iPad mini retina
It may work on those devices like it works on 4S but the developer does not support these devices at this time according to their website. If that is incorrect they need to update the website to reflect that. On 9/23/14, mário navarro mario@gmail.com wrote: wrong. It also supported and run on: iPad air and iPad mini rotine. cheers.

Re: KNFBReader sluggish on iPad mini retina
Some people are having success with the app on devices that are not supported. Since there is a difference of opinion on this I suggest you contact the developer to see if they have any suggestions. I think it is important information for all of us so if you do that please post their response. On 9/23/14, Andrew Lamanche ioani...@me.com wrote: I didn't realise this. Thanks AndrewOops!

Re: iPad Air for sale, excellent condition
Philip, you sent your email to the entire group. The person selling the IPad Air gave an email address in the body of the email.

I would love to get my wife and iPad air for Christmas. Would there be any way you could take payment arrangements? I am on a very limited income. how much are you asking for the iPad air? I'm sure I could make arrangements through PayPal for you. I would really like to buy this if possible. Hopefully flexibility is okay with you. I have been praying for an opportunity like this for a long time now. Go ahead and email me back your terms, hopefully we can work something out. Got bless.

Re: Refreshable Braille Displays
There are several and the one you choose is based on many subjective factors. You might consider an 18 cell display rather than 32 or higher if you plan to use it, primarily, with your IPhone. The more cells the larger the display. I have a Focus 40 and really like it but I use it with my computer most of the time. On 8/4/14, SSEric sseri...@gmail.com wrote: I am now seriously curious about displays. I have a BP12 just acquired, but find it is too small to be useful. I am thinking a 24 or 32-cell display would be what I would want. I definitely would not read books, but messages, mail, RSS and the like on my I-devices. Not knowing much more than some familiarity with devices when I hear them talked about, I really could use a collection and comparison of various displays. Does anyone know of such a resource? Any other suggestions how I might learn of the existence of and information on devices of potential interest would be most appreciated.

BARD app

Re: tap tap see
It is great for identifying many things. Just test it out around your house on things you need to identify. I agree that it probably won't read text. On a humorous side, a friend took her picture and it said woman with gray hair. So don't take a picture of your self unless you really want to hear the truth. (smile) It does take some practice and I still make mistakes. I pay for a monthly subscription so I don't worry when I take two pictures when I only meant to take one. I think you get 20 free pictures and then you will get a prompt to purchase. There are different packages of pictures you can purchase.

Re: Bar Code scanner
It also depends on why you want one. If you are going to identify foods and things like that Tap Tap See and similar products are excellent. You don't have to find the bar code. On 5/30/14, Jeff Samco jsa...@jps.net wrote: Hi, Terri, You can check out AppleVIS.com and find reviews of barcode apps. There are apps like Red Laser which the general public uses which seem to work well enough for use with VoiceOver. If you are talking about scanning UPC barcodes as found on commercial products like food, then it's hard to beat Digit-Eyes. It has an extensive database accessed through an internet connection. It takes some practice learning both where to anticipate the location of barcodes and then where to hold the iPhone for capturing the barcode, but that's true for any app. If you are talking about reading QR barcodes that's a bit different in my mind. At my work I have used Digit-Eyes to create QR barcodes labels containing text which I use for labelling an inventory of items. Although Digit-eyes will read the QR codes, I found another QR code reader app that works far better. It is called Quarkode QR Reader, by an Italian developer, APSIS BI PAPOSS BARIO C. S.A.S. It is much more forgiving in locating a barcode, it immediately speaks the text without having to touch the screen to navigate to the location where the text is displayed, and it is ready to scan another barcode without touching the screen again. The only feature I haven't found on it is a means to turn the flash on and off. But, it seems to work better than many other apps in low light levels. I have reviewed this app on AppleVIS.

Re: Refreshabraille 1i
Yes, they have a retail site and you can definitely purchase the refresh-a-braille there. You and I are not their primary customers, though. Their primary customers are school districts, and the government. The people who are buying most of their products are not blind and buy them because they can use federal quota funds. When you look at any company you need to ask who their primary customers will be. The quota funds are only available for products made by APH, not other products they sell.

If you want to bang out a text or Facebook update, it's fine, but if you plan to use it for longer text entry, consider a different unit. One cool thing is that you can flip it, so the keys can be above or below the display. The braille can be told to flip over, so it will display properly for either orientation.

Re: Netatmo update fixes minimum/maximum outdoor temperature issue and supports rain gauge
Thank you. I did see the thermostat link on their website but I really am most interested in the rain guage. Other features will be great too. I plan to ask my sons to purchase it for Mother's Day and my birthday. I appreciate all of the information. On 4/18/14, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Marianne, The Netatmo Weather Station is the product I have been posting about and it is not a thermostat at all. I believe Netatmo also does make a WiFi enabled thermostat, but it is only available in Europe, actually, I think it's available in France where Netatmo is located and maybe in Germany and some other countries, but not in all European countries. To my knowledge Netatmo is not planning to introduce the thermostat to the North American market where a number of WiFi thermostats already exist. If you are looking for an accessible thermostat to control your heating/air conditioning via an iOS app you should check out www.RadioThermostat.com. I own 3 of their WiFi thermostats, they work great and I have had them for I think at least 2 or 3 years now and they work flawlessly. The app is accessible and you can buy the thermostat for $139 on the website, but I have seen posts from others who own it and who say that in the States you can often get it for $99 at Home Depot and of course it's also available on Amazon. The Netatmo weather station consists of an indoor and outdoor module which measure temperature, humidity, air pressure and they also keep track of indoor and outdoor minimum and maximum temperatures for the day (from Midnight to Midnight) and the indoor module also measures CO2 level and noise. You can add up to 3 additional indoor modules for $79 each to put in other rooms in your house or the basement if you wish and the newest item which is just now starting to ship is a rain sensor which keeps track of aily rainfall. It is also $79 and the main weather station is $179, that's your primary indoor module which has the WiFi connectivity built-in and the one outdoor module. A wind sensor is coming and while this is not a cheap device, it does work well and Netatmo has done an excellent job to make the readings accessible. As far as I know it is also the only weather station for iOS and you can also access the information by logging into your account on the Netatmo website. However, it's much easier and more accessible via the app. Best regards, Sieghard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Marianne Denning Sent: Friday, April 18, 2014 7:59 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Netatmo update fixes minimum/maximum outdoor temperature issue and supports rain gauge I am considering getting netatmo.

Re: NEW VERSION OF MATH MELODIES
Okay, JAWS spoke to me in some other language. What happened? On 2/18/14, EveryWare Technologies Accessibility Team accessibil...@ew-tech.it wrote: Dear friends of VIPhone, One month ago we wrote to you about the release of Math Melodies, a novel app for iPad that helps visually impaired children to learn mathematics. The app is now downloadable for free from the App Store at the following link: https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/math-melodies/id713705958?mt=8. This release is designed for children from the first to the third grade of primary school, and includes 6 chapters of a tale comprehensive of music and sounds, with 12 different type of exercises. Now we are very pleased to announce that, tanks to the funds collected through a crowdfunding campaign, we have reached the amount neccesary to extend Math Melodies also to children from the fourth grade of primary school! Soon Math Melodies will be accessible to more and more visually impaired children, and we are also building a new campaign in order to develop new exercises altro for the fifht grade. If you haven't done it yet, we invite you to try the application and to let it try to children between 5 and 8 years of age.

Thanks to all and if you have any question please write us at accessibil...@ew-tech.it! Any comment or feedback is very important to us. EveryWare Technologies' Team -- Forwarded message -- From: Cristian Bernareggi accessibil...@ew-tech.it Date: Fri, Jan 17, 2014 at 5:10 PM Subject: NEW VERSION OF MATH MELODIES To: viphone@googlegroups.com Dear friends of VIPhone, At EveryWare Technologies we are very pleased to announce that at we have released the first complete version of Math Melodies, a novel app for iPad that helps visually impaired children to learn mathematics! The app is now downloadable for free from the App Store at the following link: https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/math-melodies/id713705958?mt=8; at the moment is available both in Italian and English language, but we are also working on a German version. Math Melodies is designed to overcome some of the challenges that blind and sight impaired children have to face in learning mathematics since primary school. We want to make mathematics learning more engaging and entertaining and that's why we have conducted some evaluations with children, receiving enthusiastic feedbacks so far. Math Melodies is aimed both at blind and visually impaired students: the audio feedback assists the child in practicing arithmetic exercises while sliding the finger over the tablet. This first release is designed for children from the first to the third grade of primary school, and includes 6 chapters of a tale comprehensive of music and sounds, with 12 different type of exercises (each with a different level of complexity). We would like to invite all the people from VIPhone to try the application and to let it try to children between 5 and 8 years of age. If you want to let a visually impaired child try the application, you can first read the for the grown-ups section where it is explained how to do it. Thanks to all and if you have any question please write us at accessibil...@ew-tech.it! Any comment or feedback is very important to us.

Re: Proliferation of Document Barcodes and QR Codes
This is very interesting. What about the program using a code that is transmitted to the company holding the electronic document. That could be used to be sure only qualified people have access to the document. I know there are many problems with this suggestion but it is dreaming right with you. On 2/14/14, Alan Lemly wale...@gmail.com wrote: As my vision has waned and my loathing of paper increases in leaps and bounds, I'm often thinking about ways easier than OCR scanning to get access to digital documents. I've noticed that much corporate correspondence I get contains QR codes on the document usually near an address. This has sparked my curiosity and made me wonder if we could use those to get information easier than scanning the document with an OCR app. I assume that such QR codes are keys into a private database used by the company making it easier for those who need the information to get it with a SmartPhone or other digital method. But I'm hoping for some sort of confirmation from those of you who have experience with QR codes on documents. I've tried scanning these document codes using an appropriate app on my iPhone but as expected, nothing happens. I'm trying to envision a day when documents could be accessed from a cloud-based server via a simple scan of a QR code using an iPhone. I realize with privacy concerns and all the private companies involved, this access by ordinary citizens is extremely unlikely but a dream has to start somewhere. Thanks for any comments.

use of face time
I was reading through the discussion on Tap Tap See and someone brought up Face Time. I would like to hear how people have used Face Time. I will share a story where it helped me. I was walking home and was off in my own world instead of paying attention. I passed my house and needed help finding it. I called someone on Face Time and by showing the person what was around me I was able to get to my house. Without Face Time I would have retraced my steps until I found a landmark that was familiar and tried again but it sure aved me time. I don't use it often but when I do it is very handy and is on the phone. I can't wait to hear from other people. -- Marianne Denning, TVI, MA Teacher of students who are blind or visually impaired (513) 607-6053 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

great technology
I am a TVI who provides virtual instruction. My student finished Charlotte's Web so I wanted him to watch (listen) to the movie. I am in one state and he is over 600 miles away. I used my IPhone and rented the movie from ITunes. I needed to find a way so he could hear it with me while we were on Skype. I paired my IPhone with my Jam Box and it worked. All of this was completed without sighted assistance. He enjoyed the movie and the only down side was that the movie was not described. I did check on Blind Mice but it was not there. I wish everyone understood the importance of accessibility like Apple because all movies would be described. I do believe that day is coming. -- Marianne Denning, TVI, MA Teacher of students who are blind or visually impaired (513) 607-6053 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.
