Re: speech suddenly softening

[Penny Reeder]

This decrease and then increase in volume happened to me last night. I was
reading a book from NLS on my phone and, at first, I thought the
fluctuation in volume might be related to how the book had been recorded,
but it continued to happen when I was visiting Facebook and when I was
reading e-mail. I rebooted the phone, but it made no difference. Since this
morning, however, it hasn't happened any more.

A few days ago, we had a power failure. The Iphone was plugged in at the
time, charging, and as soon as the power failed, it became almost
impossible to use VoiceOver -- speech would stop almost immediately
whenever I tried to do anything on the phone. I tried using BlueTooth BEATS
earbuds, and that did not help either. Eventually, when I  began using my
MFI hearing aid (which I hadn't been using when the power went off),
VoiceOver would work without stopping. I don't know what caused either of
these situations, but, knocking on wood, I'm happy that everything seems to
be working right now!

Re: what will IOS 17 support

[Penny Reeder]

Thanks for the info and the great advice. Penny Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 19, 2023, at 10:58 AM, Sieghard Weitzel  wrote:







The iPhone XR is pronounced iPhone 10R, the "x" simply was used by Apple back then as it is the roman numeral for "10".
And yes, the XR can run iOS 17, it was released in 2018 as the budget model at the time along with the iPhone XS and XS Max which were the higher-end models.
Anything from 2017 like the iPhone X, 8 and 8 Plus and of course earlier will not get iOS 17.
Whether you want to upgrade or not is entirely your decision, but if you are still perfectly happy with your iPhone XR then I would wait until next year when iOS 18 comes out which your iPhone XR most likely won't support.

When i purchased my current phone, it was called the XR. At some point, i’m assuming, it was renamed the 10, and i think this means it will accept 17 with no problem. It still seems to be working well (Knock
 on wood) and so i’m assuming there’s no good reason to replace it. Do others agree? Thanks. Penny

Re: Can You Replicate These Bugs in iOS 16?

[Penny Reeder]

Another problem with mail is that, when you search for messages that you have flagged, they don’t show up in the list that searching creates.

As you’re swiping through emails on the native Mail app, Voiceover will read the correct sender and subject line, but the message preview is completely different from the actual email. The problem is inconsistent but presents itself across multiple messages in the chosen inbox. The problem exists across all email accounts being used. In fact, the inaccurate message summaries sometimes pull from completely different email accounts.2. If you tap Add contact when sending an email or text message, Voiceover refuses to navigate by heading. True, you can use the search function as opposed to navigating the length of your contacts, but navigating by headers is useful when forgetting the exact spelling of an uncommon contact's name. Voiceover simply continues to say "no headings."3. Voiceover is jumping to the bottom of the screen when attempting to navigate longer emails. You have to swipe down with three fingers to scroll further down in the message and then back track to try to read the portions of the email voiceover skipped.I keep hoping the issues will be fixed with subsequent iOS 16 updates, but alas, no luck so far. Before reporting to Apple, is anyone else experiencing these glitches?Thank you in advance for any feedback.Best,Joe--Joe Orozco: Your Message, My Missionhttps://joeorozco.com/services/--The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.  Mark can be reached at:  mk...@ucla.edu.  Your list owner is Cara Quinn - you can reach Cara at caraqu...@caraquinn.comThe archives for this list can be searched at:http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/---You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone" group.To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/viphone/CAJNA4b%3DBe3wvQ53kE9JN09O%3DjX644hBEoJsK-xZSRsZ85ikUug%40mail.gmail.com.-- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.  Mark can be reached at:  mk...@ucla.edu.  Your list owner is Cara Quinn - you can reach Cara at caraqu...@caraquinn.comThe archives for this list can be searched at:http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/--- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone" group.To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/viphone/022201d8fbdb%24097b6140%241c7223c0%24%40gmail.com.

It seems to me that i read somewhere that there is an incompatibility between

working to solve the problem. In any event, that is why i’m waiting to install

Re: within voice dream reader, connecting to Book Share does not offer downloads option

[Penny Reeder]

Click on the Add button at the top lefthand corner of the screen.
Then, a list of the various options for locating reading material will
appear. Find BookShare, double tap, and you'll reach a screen where
there's a seaarch box near the top. Type in the title of the book you
are looking for, or look through the various other caategories that
are listed there. When you find the book, the download button is at
the top righthand corner. Downloading is amazingly quick! Once you've
downloaded the book, it will appear at the top of your library list.

Re: Deleting drafts in Mail app

[Penny Reeder]

I have the same issue, it seems to be a bug associated with the mail app, and, 
unfortunately, the solution you suggest doesn’t always work. Often, when you 
double tap the notification of drafts that is taking up real estate at the 
bottom of the page, you find that the send button is dimmed. When this happens, 
tapping Cancel sometimes solves the problem, but the whole situation is time  
and space consuming

 And annoying. PennySent from my iPhone

I have and thoroughly enjoy using these earphones. They are comfortable, sound

Re: gesture to get to the control center on the home screen

Yes, i see what you mean. It takes practice, but it’s still tricky! I think the 
most important requirement is an extremely light touch!Do you think Control 
Panel could be somehow added to the list of Quick Keys? That would be 
convenient. Thanks

Re: gesture to get to the control center on the home screen

[Penny Reeder]

Try sliding down slowly with one finger, starting close to the lefthand edge, 
from the top. As you slide down, you will hear a faint blip. Pick up your 
finger, and Control Center shkuld open. Hope this helps, Penny

 Obviously, one size does not fit all.  Many of us did in fact find
 annoying bugs in 15.  That annoying haptic on no items discovered was
 terrible, and my hey Siri doesn't work on the locked phone, which isn't
 a biggy, but not a problem before.  And, all the phrases removed from
 hey Siri might be a big problem to people with typing issues.  Please
 stop minimizing the problems of some just because they don't affect you.

 The subject sort of says it. I am curious to hear what major bugs people 
 are dealing with because I sometimes see statements like "iOS is a mess" 
 and "I won't upgrade until some of the bugs have been resolved" etc.
 I would encourage people also mention what device they use, my current 
 phone is an iPhone 11. Please furthermore be specific instead of saying 
 something "I don't like the new Focus feature" since that of course is not 
 a bug but a new feature and there will always be things maybe one would 
 wish had stayed as it was.
  
 Also, before you mention the issue where Voiceover doesn't sometimes say 
 the name of an app in the app switcher when you flick left, try the fix I 
 read about and posted: go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion and turn of 
 Reduce Motion.
 If somebody knows of a good reason why Reduce Motion should be on I'd like 
 to hear it and while I don't necessarily disagree that Voiceover should 
 read the app names even with this turned on, turning it off is a 
 fix/work-around for now especially if it doesn't have any other 
 consequences.
  
 Another issue which was mentioned when Applevis released their warning 
 prior to the iOS 15 release about the bugs they experienced or heard about 
 is the one where the Wallet app crashes when you flick through your 
 cards/passes. I am very curious to hear how many people have this problem. 
 As I said above, I use an iPhone 11 and this has never happened to me and 
 I tried it also by turning on Voiceover on my wife's iPhone 11 Pro and it 
 also works fine.
  
 

Re: YouTube weirdness after 14.7 upgrade?

Did you check to make sure Screen Recognition is not turned on for this app? 
Sometimes it is somehow turned on inadvertantly, and it can really mess up

Re: the Instant Pot bluetooth app works again.

[Penny Reeder]

When i updated my phone, the app would not open, and the message said it was no 
longer available.i left the app on my home page even it no longer worked. 
Today, i tapped the app to open, and it opened right up!(Now, if only i hadn’t 
already given my InstantPot away to my daughter!) No worries though! I already 
called her, and she’s happy to give it back!

Unfortunately, it is not accessible, and the company has no plans to upgrade 
the app. They currently still sell a WiFi-controlled model, but it gets less

recommending that model to current shoppers. It made me very sad to send my

Re: Question about Instant Pot and iPhone

[Penny Reeder]

Your plan was my plan, as well. Then, my IPhone developed a problem. I
cannot reply to text messages that are sent to me. When I called
Apple, the 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...

It is not a good week!

Very unfortunately, the BlueTooth accessible InstantPot app is not accessible 
with the latest update to the Iphone, IoS 14.5. The company that makes the 
InstantPot reportedly says they have no plan to repair or update the BlueTooth 
app. They now make a WiFi model that has a somewhat accessible app that also 
connects through the 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

Re: Smart cooker app does not work with iOS 14.5

[Penny Reeder]

I asked about the app that controls the BlueTooth IP in a Facebook group for 
blind people who discuss cooking with small electric kitchen appliances. Two 
people have responded that the WiFi app is “mostly accessible.” One can 
apparently also set pressure level and time with Alexa. I don’t know how 
closely one can monitor cooking while using the app with VoiceOver. I am not 
eager to buy a new Instant Pot, but i don’t want to forego updating my Iphone 
either. Penny

Re: Smart cooker app does not work with iOS 14.5

[Penny Reeder]

I’m sorry to mislead. The app that i used when i first got my IP included a way 
to contact the company. When my IP stopped working, i did just that, and they 
replaced the pot. Now, i don’t see any way to contact the company. Do we know 
for sure that there’s no accessible app for using the WIFI model? I am bummed! 
I depend on my InstantPot for all kinds of things, especially dry beans and 
risotto. Penny

Re: Smart cooker app does not work with iOS 14.5

Oh no! I love my IP, and i use it at least once a week. There’s a way to 
contact the company the company from within the app i think. I had been 
thinking of replacing the IP, now that the new WI FI model  works

 With Alexa, but i really don’t want to do it right now. Penny Sent from my

Re: Buying Kindle books

[Penny Reeder]

Hi Kimberly, i think you can call Amazon.com’s disability support number and 
ask them to put the Kindle books in your shopping cart. Then, go to your cart 
using the Amazon Iphone app and purchase the books. Once purchased, i think 
they will appear in your Kindle library

Re: Siri not talking

[Penny Reeder]

I had the same experience, apparently right after i installed the latest 
update, but i didn’t notice until last night. I thought i must have 
inadverently changed a setting, but after spending time in Settings, i couldn’t 
solve the  problem. I called Apple Accessibility support, and they told me i 
could either reinstall the whole operating system or download Siri’s British 
voice, which is what i chose to do. The Apple guy says the issue will be 
resolved  with the next update, and after installing that, i can get Siri’s 
American voice back. But, i kind of like having Mary Poppins on my  phone.

Re: Kindle Books on iPhone

can't remember exactly how I put the books in my iPhone-accessible

ask them. The number is:
888.283.1678.

Hoping this helps!

Re: 01 Spanish Basics Lesson 1 Duolingo

[Penny Reeder]

I think I downloaded the correct app, but the first thing it asks me
to do is to choose one out of four pictures. This obviously will not
work for me!

I need an auditory language app, not one that asks me to choose which
is the correct picture of a cat...

What am I doint wrong?
Thanks.

Hi to both of you. I am coming in late to this discussion and find
that I am very interested in this language program. I clicked on the
link and found it very accessible.

What service is this? How expensive is it? What languages can one learn?

Thanks so much for sharing this information.

Re: Bluetooth app for Instant Pot is not working in v13.1.3

[Penny Reeder]

Hi, I have used my blue tooth IP several times since I upgraded with
-- knock on wood! -- no issues. Whenever I have trouble getting the
blue tooth and the IPconnected, I unplug the Instant Pot, plug it back
in and the connection usually works. I hope this helps.

Re: Braille for seniors?!

[Penny Reeder]

Hi Fred, I can sympathize. I learned braille when I was 50. My best
advice is to practice, practice, practice! Find a book or choose a
braille magazine that you simply can't put down. What you need is a
real page-turner, and then read it in braille. After that, choose
another! Keep records in braille, either using an electronic braille
display/input device or a Perkins, and refer to your notes whenever
you need to find an address, identify a spice jar, etc. The more you
use braille, the easier it will be. Hadley's courses are wonderful and
their teachers kind, encouraging, and non-judgmental! Use the lightest
touch you can, that will definitely help with identifying the letters
and contractions and help you to increase your reading speed. Good
luck, and don't give up!

Re: getting local news from alexia

[Penny Reeder]

Ask Alexa to play a local station — use the call letters from that station, 
e.g., WAMU or WTOP — from Tune-in Radio. I don’t know if you have to have the 
Tune-In app loaded on your phone or not. I do. The free version works just 
fine. Good luck!

Re: Instant Pot app

[Penny Reeder]

Are the buttons labeled, and can you select the pressure level, sautee
low or high, warming time, and cooking time using the app and
VoiceOver? Thanks so much for any information you can share. I
currently use, and enjoy using, the Bluetooth model, and I am hopeful
that the WiFi model will become as accessible as the Bluetooth one
using the app.
Thanks.

Re: iPhone XR and voice over

[Penny Reeder]

Turn VoiceOver on by pressing the on/off button (right side of phone)
3 times quickly. I learned all that I needed to learn from the
salespeople at the Apple store. Jonathan Mosen's latest IOS without
the Eyye e-book is also helpful.

Re: An Instant Pot question

[Penny Reeder]

Go to Settings, then Bluetooth, then the phone should find and pair with your 
Instant Pot. If this does not happen, you may have to push a button on the pot 
itslf and hold it for a few seconds to turn on the pot’s Bluetooth capability. 
Unfortunately, i don’t remember where this button is, and i needed sighted help 
to find it. Good luck, and happy cooking!

Re: instant pot question

[Penny Reeder]

There’s also a very helpful Instant Pot group on Facebook. Recipes are shared, 
and, even better, advice from experienced IP users, who can answer questions 
and help sort out what may have gone wrong and what to do differently next 
time. Two excellent cookbooks are available on BookShare. Both are by Melissa 
Clark, Dinner in an Instant and Comfort in an Instant. HTH, Penny

Re: the iPhone 10 xr

[Penny Reeder]

I migrated from the 6 to the XR. The XR is considerably larger than
the 6, but even though my hands are not huge, I find it comfortable to
use. It is considerably faster -- you will notice the difference right
away! And, it is considerably louder -- and that's one of the best
things. I have continued to hang onto our landline, principly because
I felt like I could always hear better on the landline phone than I
cound using the IPhone, but since I've had the XR, I've found myself
calling people on my IPhone whenever the phone was in my hand already
and I needed to reach someone by phone. The XR is lots more
comfortable to hear!

HTH,
Penny

Re: A few Iphone xr questions

[Penny Reeder]

I upgraded from a 6 to the xR a couple days ago. I thought about the 8, but the 
XR was only $50 more, so i took the plunge. So far, i am happy with my choice. 
The XR is noticeably faster, it’s not hard to learn the new gestures, and 
although i worried its larger size would make it uncomfortable to hold, it is 
still quite comfortable to use. I have
 Not yet bought bluetooth earbuds or a charging pad, but the splitter gismo 
which accomodates charging & wired earbuds is working fine for me, and i’ll 
probably buy a second one of these before i invest in the charging pad or the 
bluetooth earbuds or headphones. The help i got at the Apple store was 
wonderful.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker

[Penny Reeder]

Contact the InstantPot company, you can do this through the Help
function in the app, and ask for their help.

I do not have the wifi model, but when I couldn't get the BlueToot
model to pair, I asked the FaceBook Instant Pot group for help. The
person who responded told me there was a small button on the front of
the pot that needed to be pressed in and held for a few seconds to
activate the initial connection. After I did this (I needed sighted
help), the Bluetooth connection worked.

Sometimes I have to attempt the whole pairingprocess more than once.
With Bluetooth, it helps to be in front of the actual pot -- not
pairing from another room -- and sometimes it also helps to unplug the
Instant Pot and then plug it in again.

Good luck, I hope you get this to work, and I'm also interested to
know if the app seems to be totally accessible, as it was for the
Bluetooth model.

Re: IOS 12 not yet downloaded to my phone`

[Penny Reeder]

Hi everyone, I have an IPhone 6,64 gb. 51.55 gb of storage is used.
Apparently, I don't have enough space to install IOS12. I have already
deleted a bunch of apps andoff-loaded documents and data associated
with others. What can I do to free up enough space to install IOS12?
IOS12 apparently only uses 1.6 GB, but the new OS will not load.

Thanks.

Re: Amazon App Problems

[Penny Reeder]

Good luck with that. I was trying to order a book last night using the
Amazon.com app on my IPhone. When I got to the Submit button, tappiing
it did nothing. I tried repeatedly for several minutes, then I called
the Disability Help Number. The whole experience was completely
unsatisfactory.

I understand that the people on the help line are not allowed to make
a purchase, and what I couldn't do was to get the Submit button to
work -- to make the purchase. I was simply asking for the person on
the phone to report the problem with using the app with VoiceOver.

HHe could see the item in my cart.

He couldn't figure out why I couldn't submit my order.

He refused to report the problem because he said he couldn't see what
the problem was.

The whole encounter was totally frustrating.

Then, after I hung up, he called me back to say he had figured out why
I couldn't submit my order. It was, he said, because the book was out
of stock for the next couple of days.

I already knew that, and that was not the issue, since I was simply
ordering the book which Amazon would deliver as soon as it came back
into stock, on August 25 I believe.

After that encounter, I tried one more time. I closed the app. I
opened the app, the book was still in my cart, I still couldn't make
the submit button work by tapping on it. I closed VoiceOver, then
turned it back on, and lo and behold, finally, the Place Order button
worked, and my order when through.

I found working with the HelpLine person more frustrating than dealing
with the problem that had led me to call.

Re: I.D. Mate bar code reader instead of iOS barcode app?

[Penny Reeder]

I have an ID Mate, and I have used the Seeing AI app for bar code
identification. While the Seeing AI app works quite well, I do love my
ID Mate and use it more often than the app. For one thing, one can
record extra information, including instructions which might not be
available from the app's web-based database, and I do use the
recording feature of the ID Mate whenever I have a product that is not
available from the commercial datrabase.
HTH,
Penny

Re: Cult-like worshippers' turn Canadian-invented Instant Pot into a phenomenon

[Penny Reeder]

Place the eggs on the rack (or trivet) that came with your InstantPot.
Then pour in a cup or 2 of water. Close the lid, set the cooking time
to 4 minutes under High Pressure. Four minutes cooking under pressure,
4 minutes Natural pressure release; 4 minutes in an ice water bath --
and they will peel perfectly and be cooked perfectly too!

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Penny Reeder]

Steve and Mary, I am a member of the regular Instant Pot Facebook
Group. There are several other blind people on this group, and the
group's members have been very helpful to me every time I've had a
question.

BTW, there are quite a few books at BookShare that cover pressure
cooking recipes as well as those specifically concerning the Instant
Pot and other electric pressure cookers. The best, I think, is Melissa
Clark's "Dinner in an Instant." Clark is one of the best food writers
for the NYTimes, and all the recipes I have tried in the book have
turned out extremely well!

Happy cooking, all, and Mary, I always love hearing from you.

 Hi List,

 I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the Instant
 Pot and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I read the
 Instant Pot app description and it seems to talk more about recipes as
 opposed to controlling the device with the app. Can anyone who uses an
 Instant Pot give me some direction on what the app allows you to do and
 whether it's accessible? Is there a particular Instant Pot model that I
 need to get to obtain app control over it?

 Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Penny Reeder]

Hi, I have been using the Instant Pot for about a year. I think I use
it at least once a week, and I really enjoy using it. I can't imagine
not having the blue tooth connectivity. Not only does it make setting
all of the seetings -- including function, time, level, etc. --
possible, but the IOS connectivity lets you keep track of what the
Instant Pot is doing. I definitely recommend paying the extra money
for the blue tooth connectivity and access to the IOS app.

As for new features, I read that the new model allows for higher
pressure -- high enough to allow people use it for canning fruits and
vegetables.

HTH,
Penny

Re: Tap Tap See

[Penny Reeder]

My version of Tap Tap See says it's Version #313. You can find out by
tapping on "About." As far as I know my version of TTS is still
working well. I don't use it often, but when I do, it seems to work
quite well.

Today, however, I used AI Squared for the first time to find and read
a bar code -- and the accompanying information about the product, and
I was amazed at how well it worked!

Re: How to subscribe and use Kindle books

[Penny Reeder]

Hi Kay, After I sent my last message, I realized that I got the LUA
presentation mixed up with another (from BITS) which I also attended.
The LUA presentation regarding Kindle books and how to read them was
presented by Carla Rushieval. I am sure it was recorded, and I'm also
sure that if you contact Carla or anyone else in LUA's leadership, you
can find out how to listen to the recording.

Again, hope this helps, and happy reading!

Re: How to subscribe and use Kindle books

[Penny Reeder]

Hi Kay, Library Users of America (LUA) did a phone-in conference call
on this topic about 6 weeks ago. It was excellent -- Maria Kristic and
another LUA member answered all your questions! I think it's available
as a recording. Maybe you can find it on the LUA web site, or if you
call Carla Rushieval, I'm sure she can tell you how to find it.

I have the Kindle app on my IPHone, and so far, I've downloaded and
read one Kindle book; it's Melissa Clark's Dinner in an Instant
cookbook for the Instant Pot. If you have an IPhone, reading commands
for Kindle books are quite similar to reading commands for everything
else.

HTH,
Penny

Re: OK so how do you save your IPhone when it's screaming for help when it's drowning?

[Penny Reeder]

Hi Mike, Here's to good friends and new phones -- and the Apple Store!
If you hung onto yo0ur old phone -- I hope you did -- do try the bag
full of rice trick. I spilled coffee onto an IPhone a couple years
ago. I called AppleCare and their suggestion was the bag full of rice
for a day or two, and it worked quite well. (It would not have worked
had I been a coffee with cream and sugar person, so I'm glad I like my
coffee black!) So, if you still have your original water-logged phone,
try dropping it in the middle of a bag of rice and leaving it there
for a couple of days. Even though you don't need a phonek, you can use
the older phone as a music player or as a book-reading device with the
BARD or another app.

Have fun at your convention!
Penny

Hi Keith, I have used both. Both are totally accessible with VoiceOver

Re: AirPods - first impressions

[Penny Reeder]

The possible lag is my biggest concern as well. A few years ago, I
received blue tooth headphones as a very nice gift, but the lag made
them impossible for me to use while typing using the on-screen key
board. I would be very  interested in learning whether or not the lag
is there, or if it is small enough to be insignificant.

Re: Song Identifier App?

[Penny Reeder]

The app is Sound Hound, and it's completely accessible. But, now you
can ask Siri the name of the song that's playing, and she'll answer in
a matter of seconds -- usually with the right answer!

Re: Sharing links on twitter via Safari extension

[Penny Reeder]

Hi, I think the link shows up after you send the tweet, inside the
tweet itself.I use Twitterific on the IPhone. I tweeted a link to a
New Yorker article this morning. I used "Share" at the bottom of the
article, and selected Twitter, I wrote a short message about the
article (which just won the Pulitzer Prize - and then hit "Post" or
"send" or whatever it says. Then, listed among my Tweets in
Twitterific, I saw my tweet, I clicked on it by tapping, and the link
was at the top of the next page, where I could tap on that and open
the article.

Hope this makes sense.
Penny

p.s., If you want to tweet super-easily from your pc, download
EasyChirp.com -- it's fantastic, and it even includes a feature that
automatically shortens the URL so it will fit inside your tweet.

I couldn't find it, but I showed it to my son who found the Like link,
and he says that will allow me to read the posts and post. So, we'll

Re: Instant pot multi use appliance with accessible iPhone app

[Penny Reeder]

Thanks, Mary. My daughter and son-in-law cook perfect steel-cut oats
in their Japanese rice cooker. So, I bought a rice cooker several
years ago -- but a different kind, since I couldn't access the touch
cooking controls on their cooker with a dynamic display. Their rice
cooker has "fuzzy logic." Mine does not., and my oatmeal does not turn
out creamy and delicious like theirs!

So, I am curious as to how well the steel cut oats might turn out in
the InstantPot.

Thanks for the info.

 Hi there Mary. I don't have the BT version of the Instant Pot but I do

 I just wanted to let you know that the Instant pot is most definitely
 very useable by a blind person. I use mine at least once or twice a
 week. I simply made a Braille chart of the various buttons along with
 what they are and their default cook times. I keep this taped to the
 inside of a cabinet door just above the Instant Pot for easy reference.
 In addition, this cooker also has plus and minus buttons as well as a
 manual setting which I actually prefer so you can set your own cooking
 time if you don't want to use the presets.

 The buttons are definitely 

Re: logging hours

[Penny Reeder]

Hi Deidre, I haven't used the app for several years as, as a
contractor working on just one project, now I charge all of my hours
to only that particular project. I opened WorkLog to refresh my memory
as to how it used to work, and it quit immediately. So, either the app
became corrupted or it has changed and is now inaccessible. I suspect
the latter since I did receive a message asking if I want to send an
anonymous report about its failure. Sorry, Deidre. I hope you can find
something. Did you check with AppleViz?
