Overcast shortcut question

2024-02-17 Thread R Van Lant
Hi,
I'm taking my first baby steps into creating shortcuts.  I listened to an 
AppleVis podcast by Thomas on the basics.  From the Siri tones, it was obvious 
that this was a bit dated, probably from IOS 16.  Nevertheless, the demo he did 
was creating a shortcut from within Overcast to play the next AppleVis podcast. 
 When I go into Settings in Overcast, I do not see the option for shortcuts.  
Has anyone created such a shortcut?  I'm wondering if Thomas has overcast 
premium and the shortcut option is only available there or if the whole process 
for shortcuts has changed enough since he created the podcast that I have to go 
about it another way. I'm making my way through  other shortcut tutorials, but 
this one seemed like an easy win for my first attempt.

RE: workout interval timer

2024-01-21 Thread R Van Lant
The one I have used is below.   It will do what you want and I found it 
accessible, last time I did it.  It came recommended by my personal trainer at  
the time.

Tabata Timer & HIIT Timer" - Tabata Stopwatch Pro.  

That is the long name shown when I search for my app in the app store..  I just 
entered Tabata in the search field.

Subject: workout interval timer

Hi,
I am looking for an accessible workout interval timer for both my iPhone and 
apple watch.

I downloaded interval timer++, but can't figure out how to change the workout 
settings in terms of length of work session and rest session.
Those values don't appear to be editable at least when I try tapping them.

I want to have a timer for some HIIT workouts but want to be able to customize 
the lengths of work and rest plus the number of repetitions.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

RE: Webex calling app on iPhone

2024-01-18 Thread R Van Lant
We have really strict security on using personal phones to access work calls, 
emails, etc. For work and use VPN to access work apps on our phone. Forwarding 
calls isblocked and against policy, so I’m not sure if a couple of the ideas 
suggested here would work or be against policy.  I’ll probably just download 
the WebEx app and try this option.  In my experience with desktop applications, 
Cisco says that things are accessible, but I don’t find them to be easy to use. 
 Hopefully the Webex phone app and the ability to use touch navigation on a 
phone will make it work.  I’ll let the list know what I find.

Hi Robin, so I'm guessing that the option offers another call forwarding option 
that is definitely great. Because there are other options that you and your 
manager could use, which would allow you to see color ID. I would recommend 
opening a Gmail account and setting up a Google voice number. Then you could 
tell the calls to. Go to that number instead. And the calls would be routed 
through that Google voice number. I wonder if that would work.

It is less than 2 inches wide, and less than 6 inches long.
It plugs into the wall and has a USB-A cord that is very short for plugging

The three ports farthest from the cord that goes to the wall are for data 
transfer only, and don’t charge.
But the first 7 from that Wall cord both handle data and charging.
I have my external CD Rom plugged in, my usb headset, usb speakers and my USB

They also make one with a USBC plug to the computer and USBC ports, but I have 
mostly the older USB-A devices.

BARD app - can't change tone setting

2023-12-10 Thread R Van Lant
I'm on the latest IOS and BARD app. I cannot get the speed button to change to 
tone so that I can alter the treble and base mix.  I think I recall someone 
having a similar issue a while ago, but thought it would have been fixed by 
now.  Are others having this issue?

hearing aids and iPhone

2023-10-29 Thread R Van Lant
Hi,
I am plunging into the world of hearing aids.  While it's mostly because I have 
difficulty with quiet voices and loud environments, the guy who will set up my 
aids did tell me they can connect to my phone. I'm assuming most sighted people 
only connect theirs when listening to a book or music; that is what the guy 
made it sound like.  I'm trying to get my head around  what that is like for 
voice over users.  Do you leave hearing aids always connected to the phone?   
Sometimes I'm on my phone and want to show my sighted family something.  Would 
I have to turn off the hearing aid connection to let them hear the audio from 
the phone?  They guy told me I'd have 4 to 5 programs set for different 
contexts.  Any recommendations of things I should ask when I go in to have the 
programs set up for the aids?

Thanks in advance.

Robin

RE: finding my groups in Facebook

2023-09-13 Thread R Van Lant
Click the Facebook Menu tab, which is the one at the far right of the buttons 
along the bottom.  I then click the “Top Shortcuts button and can find the 
“Groups” button there. As I tested this just now, I also see a Groups button 
just below my “Top Shortcuts” button.  Sometimes I think I have had to click 
the “All shortcuts” option to find groups, but that could have been user error. 
 Right now, it’s looking really simple to find groups.  I’m on the most current 
FB version.

Hi,
I have a book of prayers on audio CD.  I'm thinking I'd like to use iTunes on 
my Windows laptop to move a copy of it to my phone for easier access.  I have 
never used iTuens. I've read instructions for using iTunes to copy a music CD.  
Is there any advice or best practices for doing this with an audio book?  Is it 
as simple as following the steps for a music CD to load each CD in sequence 
into iTunes?  I'm not sure how the files will be named and if they'd land in 
order.

Subject: My Favorite KINDLE APP FEATURE AND A BOOK RECOMMENDATION


Hello All,

I think I’ve mentioned this in a previous post but one aspect of Kindle books 
that I have been using more and more, is the feature to seamlessly switch 
between the live narration of a title and the text of that same title, directly 
from within the Kindle app.

If you have not yet explored this feature of the Kindle app, give it a try.  I 
think you will be pleased.

I recently started reading one of Stephen King’s latest novels called Fairy 
Tale.  This is not a horror story.  If anything, it is a fairy tale for adults.

I strongly recommend that you give this book a try because never in my adult 
life have I ever come across a mainstream story in which people with real-life 
disabilities are portrayed in such heroic and equal measure as their 
non-disabled counterparts.

I am about 50% through the story.  Up to this point, other than some slight 
profanity, there are no descriptions of sex or any quote, adult, quote, content.

There is a long history as to why Stephen King possesses the ability to write 
about people with disabilities in such exciting and yet realistic pros but I’ll 
let you discover the answer to that, on your own, if you so choose.

It is so very refreshing to become immersed in a story where people with 
disabilities are treated as equals and not as people who have super human 
powers who can, for example, in the case of a blind person, distinguish someone 
across a room by the rhythm of his heartbeat and respiration rate.  I’ve 
actually had highly educated professionals, ask me if such a thing is true 
based on something they read about on the net or saw in some movie.

Regardless of whatever book you choose, happy reading.

Mark

Yes, if you are in Safari and found a recipe you want to save, simply follow 
the below instructions which come straight from the Paprika user guide for 
iOS<https://www.paprikaapp.com/help/ios/>:

Saving Recipes from Safari
Paprika's Safari extension allows you to easily save recipes directly from 
Safari. To use to Safari extension, first browse to a recipe you would like to 
save in Safari.
Then press the Share button in Safari's toolbar.
In the second row of the share sheet, look for the Paprika 3 icon. If you do 
not see the Paprika 3 icon, press the More button to bring up the activity 
list, and enable the icon for Paprika 3.
Finally, press the Paprika 3 icon to download and save the recipe into Paprika.

Once you tap the share icon, you get the typical Paprika screen where you can 
select a category, give the recipe a rating and you may have to manually enter 
the description depending on the site, once done just tap the Save button and 
it will be done.

particular recipe website  that is not on the list provided from which I plan 
to import recipes.  I figured out how to add that to the bookmarks in Paprika 
and I can make my way to it and search for recipes. Here is the question. Each 
day, I get an email from this website that features recipes. If I click on the 
link in the email, it takes  me to the recipe within Safari.  I’m trying to  
figure out the best way to then put that into Paprika.  It seems that I will 
need to copy the address while in Safari , then go into Paprika and put it into 
the browser  there so that I can then hit the download button. The alternative 
is to go to my bookmark in paprika for  this site, then do a search for the 
recipe name.  is there any more direct way or are these the only two options?

Thanks.

Question for Paprika users

2023-07-23 Thread R Van Lant
After hearing one more blind  cook's testimonial on Paprika, I bought the app 
this morning.  I've read most of the instructions to get me started, skipping 
the more in-depth things about editing and manually entering recipes. I'm not 
planning at this stage to import my recipe collection, but I do have a 
particular recipe website  that is not on the list provided from which I plan 
to import recipes.  I figured out how to add that to the bookmarks in Paprika 
and I can make my way to it and search for recipes. Here is the question. Each 
day, I get an email from this website that features recipes. If I click on the 
link in the email, it takes  me to the recipe within Safari.  I'm trying to  
figure out the best way to then put that into Paprika.  It seems that I will 
need to copy the address while in Safari , then go into Paprika and put it into 
the browser  there so that I can then hit the download button. The alternative 
is to go to my bookmark in paprika for  this site, then do a search for the 
recipe name.  is there any more direct way or are these the only two options?

Thanks.

And, if you don't remember the gesture, just ask Siri to take a screen shot.

Carolyn,
If you don't have a home button meaning you use face id.  Simultaneously press 
and then release the side button and volume up button, and that will take a 
screen shot.  Tap the screenshot in the lower left corner, look for the done 
button, tap Done.

Yes, you have to turn off the screen curtain before taking a screen shot, 
otherwise, you get a nice black picture with no helpful information.

Here is how to take a screen shot on any iPhone with a home button.

I don't know if it is required, but I recommend that you make sure the screen 
curtain is off before taking a screen shot.  Turn the screen curtain on or off 
with a 3 finger triple-tap.

Press the power button and home button at the same time.  You will hear the 
camera click.  Wait just a few seconds, and the screen shot will be in the 
photo library.

Janet, I try to explain one more time, when I speak about a door knob or lever 
I mean an item which does the same thing, it opens the door.
Maybe if you go to Home Depot you can ask them to show you lever-style handles, 
as I said, coming from Europe (in my case Germany) that is all we ever had. 
When I came to Canada for the first time in 1980 at the age of 13 having all 
this twist type knobs on doors was a total novalty for me. Luckily at least 
here in Canada the more modern lever-style handles are catching on more and 
more and I don't have a single knob-type handle on any door both at my house 
and at the more heavy-duty, solid commercial doors at my store. All have 
levers, you push down and open the door instead of grabbing the knob and 
twisting it. It is also much easier to open a door with a lever-style handle if 
your hands are full since you can simply push it down with your elbow, forearm, 
hip or if you so choose even with your head, leg or foot (then of course you 
have to balance on one leg as you lift the other to push the handle. If you 
cary something very large you could even turn around and hook it with your belt 
- the possibilities are ndless. And I also think they look way nicer.

Subject: RE: smart locks

Hi Sieghard,
I completely understand the difference between the door knob, lever, deadbolt.  
I do definitely need a door knob though, or I couldn’t open the door.  I have a 
thick wooden door, and even though, the door knob is not the main loc to open 
the door, I still have to have it to open the door.  We do not use the door 
knob for the main lock though.  That is why we also have a other lock such as 
the deadbolt as our main lock.  Every one where I live have door knobs.  
Because I have a thick wooden door, I can’t just swing the wooden door open.  
We have the door knobs all through the building, in the hallways, laundry 
rooms, front doors, back doors, basement doors, boiler room.  No matter where I 
go, rather it be a office or such, they all have door knobs for opening and 
closing, in doctor’s offices, through all hospitals, lawyers offices, 
Government offices.  So that is how we get through doors, but these knobs are 
not the main locks.  This information about the smart lock, sounds great, and 
very interesting.  I will definitely consider this one.  I would have to ask 
the Home Depo if they could install it for me though.
Thank you so much for all of this.

Subject: RE: smart locks

Janet, you have to understand the difference between the knob or lever you turn 
or push down on to open an unlocked door and the deadbolt.
If you have a good and secure deadbolt there is no reason to also have a 
knob/lever which can be locked. As I said before, these are typically not very 
strong and are designed for inside the house for bathrooms, bedrooms or an 
office which you may want to lock, but  you are not typically worried about 
something which is extremely secure, just something to keep somebody out like 
when you go to the washroom and you simply don't want somebody else to walk in 
on you.
As I said, I prefer the European style levers but of course a round or ovel 
knob you twist works just fine if that is your preference and of course you 
could leave your existing lockable knob, but if you don't carry the key then 
just make sur eyou don't accidently lock it when you leave.
Below is the name and a summary of the Schlage Encode Plus which is my next 
choice for a smart lock since it supports the "Apple Keys" feature which allows 
you to unlock it by tapping your phone or watch against the lock. This means 
you can unlock this even if the power were out since it does not rrequire Wi-Fi 
for unlocking as long as you stand right in front of it with your iPhone or 
Apple Watch. In this case it communicates directly with your device, of course 
your iPhone would have to be unlocked so if you are somebody who prefers not to 
have your iPhone protected with a PIN and Face Id (or touch Id if you have anb 
SE) then you would have to do so otherwise you can't set up this feature just 
like you can't set up a credit card for Apple Pay unless your phone is 
protected by a passcode/Face Id or Touch Id.

taking notes in a PDF book

2023-05-17 Thread R Van Lant
Hi all,
I  finished all my formal schooling prior to all these electronic books.  I'm 
considering doing a year long Bible study class next school year.  The book 
that we work through is available in PDF.  There are lots of questions and 
areas to write notes.  A sighted friend told me that she used the PDF book on 
her iPad and a program I think she called Notability.  For those who have used 
electronic books like this, do you find it efficient to take notes in the 
document itself with some app?  I'm wondering both whether there is an app that 
would do this well and, if so, if it's efficient to review that so I can 
reference my notes during the weekly discussion. My other options is probably 
to copy the questions into a document and type my answers there  so I'm able to 
access those easily in discussion.  Would love to know what people find useful 
as a VoiceOver user.  This is all new to me.  Any time I've been in a book 
club, I've felt a bit left out when people are saying things like , "oh, what 
did you think of this idea on page 72".  I'm think this class will be more 
structured in how we move through the content, but I'm not really sure yet.

Subject: getting guidance while in an Uber

Hi,
Usually when I’m in an Uber or Lyft, the driver has audio guidance on and I can 
hear where we are, allowing me to feel like I know we’re going the way we 
should be. The other  night, I had a situation  where the driver did not have 
the audio on and we went a very different way than I’m used to. My sighted 
daughter was with me and she told me the road. I then opened Apple Maps and I 
could see that we were on that major road I knew. My daughter could also see 
the driver’s GPS and where he was being directed to turn. So, my question is, 
if I already have Uber or Lyft open, what other app makes sense to run to keep 
tabs on where we are?  Is just having Apple Maps open what you do or do you 
recommend something else?  I might have used soundscape in the past. I have 
BlindSquare, but I need to get in better practice of adjusting settings. In 
this case, I just wanted to know which road we were on and cross streets so 
that I knew if my safety was at risk.

Thoughts appreciated.

magic tap turns on music not in my library

2023-04-03 Thread R Van Lant
Hi all,
I have very limited music in my apple music library.  It used to be that 
sometimes doing a two finger double tap would trigger a song in my library to 
start playing.  You know, you are listening to a BARD book and too much time 
passes after a pause, so a two finger double tap starts a song, rather than 
starting the book again because the screen locked.  Anyway, I've noted in the 
last month or so that I'm now hearing songs that aren't in my library and I 
don't know why are where they are coming from. The first song that plays was 
some sort of pop or hip hop song I've never heard of.  The newest one is a 
blast from my 1980's childhood, but still not one in my library or that I've 
ever pulled up on this phone.  Anyone  else having this?  I just confirmed that 
I haven't accidentally subscribed to Apple Music, . On IOS 16.3 on an iPhone SE 
2020.

been really helpful. I have all sorts of lists from gift ideas, to movies I 
want to see, questions to ask my doctor at my next visit, and places I want to 
visit and so on. As someone described doing with the Reminders app, this app by 
design lets you double tap to mark the item as complete, then you can move it 
back to the top if you want to start over. I don’t' use this for shopping, but

I like Repeat Check.  Someone on this list recommended it years ago and it's 
been really helpful. I have all sorts of lists from gift ideas, to movies I 
want to see, questions to ask my doctor at my next visit, and places I want to 
visit and so on. As someone described doing with the Reminders app, this app by 
design lets you double tap to mark the item as complete, then you can move it 
back to the top if you want to start over. I don’t' use this for shopping, but 
I could definitely see how you'd have  a list of core things, mark them off as 
you get them, then bring them back to the list when you want to buy them again.

I had the same result as you, until I created a group.  You should try that 
again, as I did find an area to type a message or option to record, etc.  
Perhaps you will find the following helpful:

  1.  I started by double tapping on “new message,” and then double tapped on 
“create a new group.”
  2.  I double tapped on the edit field for creating a name of the group and 
then typed a name for the group.
  3.  I then swiped right to the name of someone I wanted to be part of the 
group, double tapped on that name.  After double tapping on a name, Voiceover 
announces the name is selected.  I continue swiping right and repeat the 
process until the desired names have been selected.
  4.  I then double tapped on a button labeled, “create.”  That button is 
toward the top of the screen, just left of the field for the name of the group.
  5.  I then heard Voiceover say something about what I had named the group.
  6.  Swiping right at this point led to my finding where I could type or speak 
a message to the group.
  7.  Specifics about creating the message are as you would expect.

OverDrive app being retired

2023-03-01 Thread R Van Lant
My local library had an article in the March newsletter saying Overdrive is 
being discontinued by the developer at the end of April. We are being told to 
use Libby instead.  One thing I noticed when I was reading the benefits listed 
for Libby is that it says you can transfer books to Kindle. I haven't 
researched it to see if that means the Kindle app, wherein we could use 
VoiceOver.  I don't have the time to read more now, but saved this Libby help 
link and wanted to share, so others aren't surprised by the news.

RE: New clean energy charging feature on iPhones ...

Sorry the original link didn’t work – maybe since I shared it from the app.  
Here is the link on my desktop website and the text of the article below the 
link:

New clean energy charging feature on iPhones raising eyebrows among some users 
(denver7.com)<https://www.denver7.com/news/technology/new-clean-energy-charging-feature-on-iphones-raising-eyebrows-among-some-users>

DENVER — When our phone's battery gets low, we're usually in a mad dash to find 
the nearest charger to give us a boost, but a new iPhone feature intentionally 
charges at a slower rate to help the environment.
Apple caused quite the stir on social media with the new feature called clean 
energy charging. One Twitter user wrote, “They snuck this in on us.” Another 
said, “If you noticed your iPhone is charging a little slower recently, it may 
be due to a new updated setting Apple added.”
The feature is set to the "on" position as a default, but it’s easy to turn 
off. Those with iPhones can go their phone’s settings, then battery, then 
battery health and charging and then clean energy charging. You then click 
"off."
“Apple is moving toward reducing the carbon footprint of all of our devices,” 
said Dr. Steve Beaty, professor and chair of computer sciences at Metropolitan 
State University of Denver.
The feature slows your phone’s charge during peak hours of electrical use. It 
also uses location information to slow your charge if you’re in a region of the 
country where the grid uses higher carbon emission electricity and less solar 
and wind.
Experts are at odds about whether this is good or bad.
“Most people think, and I think appropriately, ‘Hey, it’s my iPhone at my 
house. How much could it matter?’ But when we start looking at hundreds of 
millions of devices all over the world, to a certain degree, why not do this? 
Why not slow things down?” said Beaty.
“I don’t think this really appeals to the younger generation,” said Darin 
Duber-Smith, senior lecturer at MSU Denver and green energy consultant. “I 
think they’re very cynical about whether companies can really do anything about 
trying to save the planet, and rightfully so. These companies can really do 
nothing more than minimize their negative impact on the environment. They can’t 
really help the environment.”
Duber-Smith says green energy initiatives are putting more stress on the grid, 
and companies like Apple are working with the government to modify consumer 
behaviors because of that stress.
“It’s green washing,” he said. “It’s when you’re trying to make your company 
look more sustainable or greener than they really are. The grid is very 
stressed, and as we put more onto the grid, i.e. electric cars, it’s only going 
to get more stressed.”
On the other hand, Beaty sees this feature as encouraging smart consumption 
among phone users and says the location feature is intuitive.
“It won’t slow down charging at what it considers an unusual place,” Beaty 
said. “So, for example, it might slow down charging in the evening at your 
home, but it won’t slow down if you’re plugged in to a charger at an airport or 
hotel.”
“If I was Apple, I wouldn’t use the term clean energy,” said Duber-Smith. “I 
think that’s the problem. What you’re really doing is, it’s an energy saver 
function.”

Subject: Long standing issue with posting items for sale on Facebook

Hi, not sure if others here use local buy and sell groups or Facebook market 
Place to sell stuff, but I was hoping some others would maybe also report to 
Facebook how frustrating it is that as a Voiceover user it is impossible to 
properly edit anything one writes in these fields. If I am in the description 
field I can write content either with the onscreen keyboard, by dictation or 
using a Bluetooth keyboard, I can also backspace and delete a word if I 
realized I made a mistake, but there is no way to actually review a longer 
description, navigate to a certain word which was maybe misspelled and correct 
it. Similarly, once you post something and this includes regular comments on 
Facebook, editing it virtually impossible unless you delete everything and 
start from scratch. This is independent from the current issue of not being 
able to post anything at least not if you use the 16.4 public beta.
I work around this by using the computer if I want to edit something I posted 
for sale. In some ways it's easier to post on the iPhone since you can take 
pictures right then and there, on the other side if I want to include a longer 
description, for example if I am selling a TV or other piece of technology 
where I want to include a detailed description with features and specs, it is 
actually easier on the computer since I can write everything first in Notepad 
and then simply copy and paste it which I find much easier and faster to do on 
the computer as opposed to on an iPhone. Only thing then is that I have to 
first take the pictures and save them to my Dropbox or OneDrive so I can browse 
to them when I set up the ad on the computer.
Nonetheless it would be nice if one could make a quick edit in a description 
using the iPhone.

I have enough sewing skills to attach the button tags. I’m sure I have put some 
items through the wash with just a safety pin holding the tag on, but it’s not 
my norm.  The buttons are black, so you do want to think about where to attach 
them where they  won’t show. I typically sew them onto an existing tag in the 
clothing, either at the collar or on the side sea near the bottom hem.

RE: WayAround

2023-01-27 Thread R Van Lant
I use Way Around tags on my clothes.  I have Braille color tags on the  single 
color clothes, but use the Way Around tags on items where I want to describe 
the pattern and or what items the clothes work best with.  Sometimes I’ll note 
the brand and size on the item.  Way Around has a template where you can fill 
in multiple fields of information. I just put it all in the first field, which 
is labeled “description”.  I just don’t have the patience to do all the fields, 
nor do I typically want to save that much info.  They offer tags shaped like 
buttons that you sew or pin onto the items. They also have round tags with a 
larger single hole in the middle that  you can pin on or affix in other ways. 
Both are washer and dryer safeThese round tags are my favorite. I also use 
them on items in my freezer. I use the stickers on items like my thermostat or

Meet WayAround®
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.

adjusting to iPad

2023-01-25 Thread R Van Lant
Hi,
I bought a used iPad recently.  It's primary use so far is for  my son to play 
Minecraft, but I won't tell him that. It's set up under my Apple ID  and I'm 
slowly setting it up to be a backup to my iPhone for some  things like reading 
audio books.  I'm definitely finding it harder to adjust to the layout than I 
thought. It came with some widgets on the home screen that I have never used on 
my phone and I still need to get a sense of how I want to organize it, given 
the larger real estate.  It also took me a bit to get used to Settings, were 
the menu is on the left and the options are on the right; that seems to mean 
the flicking left and right isn't as reliable, as I have to get focus in the 
right place first.

Probably the biggest surprise is how different the keyboard is.  It took me a 
long time to find an exclamation point for a password I have.  I'm really 
surprised that the number and symbols keyboards don't mirror the iPhone - or 
maybe it's that I always use my iPhone in portrait mode and the landscape 
keyboard would be more  similar to the iPad.   I'm also finding it tricky to 
use control panel as I seem to get it open, then somehow touch the wrong place 
and close it.  Does control panel not fill the whole screen like it does on the 
iPhone?  Why did I just think it was a larger version of my phone?

Anyway, just looking for other advice on adjusting or switching between the 
two. My ego has taken a hit with this thing.

Robin

RE: moving apps

2023-01-04 Thread R Van Lant
I agree that it has become increasingly easy to accidentally create a folder, 
even though I am sure I heard VO indicate that the app would be ready to drop 
to the left or right of the app I’m on.  In doing some cleanup this week, I 
found that, if I was really patient and waited for VO to fully finished saying 
the phrase “drop after blah, blah blah” and gave it one more short pause, my 
success rate for getting the app where I wanted it was much higher.

I think you should report this to Apple Accessibility because I have had this 
happen as well quite a lot and I believe it's simply a bug.
All you can do when it happens is take the items out of the folder and try 
again, it will work eventually.

Subject: moving apps

I mostly understand how to move apps around the home screen, to and from the 
App library, but I do not always get the results I want.

I have a row on my home screen that is empty except for one app. I want to 
place an app to the right of that one lone app on that row. I can’t do it 
consistently.

I sometimes create folders without wanting to do so. VoiceOver announces “Drop 
App X before (or after) app y, and that’s what I want to do, but when I 
double-tap, I’ve created a folder. Then I have to drag an app out of the folder 
to get rid of it.

Can anybody shed any light on what I might be missing in all this?

RE: Air Pods 2nd generation

Bill,
If  you need it, Mystic Access did a 1.5 hour training webinar on the Apple 
Airpods recently. I paid $15 for it.  I haven't finished listening to it, but 
their tutorials are usually pretty thorough.

Got the Air Pods paired. Even found they came with 96% charge. 
Now the task will be learning how to use them.  I noticed in addition to 
showing up among my bluetooth device, they show up with a seperate button in 
settings even before airplane mode.

   I still can’t figure out how to get rid of the double

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.

RE: stopping dictation

2022-11-30 Thread R Van Lant
This hits on my frustration since upgrading to  16.x.  I find that Siri no 
longer recognizes commands I've been using for years - -or it takes a couple 
tries to get it right. It's really frustrating.  I already reported to them 
that I have trouble hearing the tone that indicates Siri is listening. When I'm 
in a car or anywhere with some background noise, I cannot tell if she's started 
listening. Apple accessibility  said they forwarded my concern on, since there 
is currently no way to change those tones.

I don't use Siri this way to the extent others do so have not felt it to be a

But, maybe check that setting and change it to see what impact that has.

Not sure what you mean that you can still add to messages outside the message 
app, if I dictate a message using Siri and it reads back the message and I want 
to add something, I can say "append" and then dictate what I want to add.
But if you mean that it seems to be no longer possible to manually edit a 
message after dictating it to Siri then I agree that this is a big pain in the 
neck.
By this I mean not dictating a message when you are in the Messages app and you 
do a 2-finger double tap or tap the dictate button, but asking Siri "Message 
John Smith.
In iOS 15 if I said "Message John Smith, Hi John, I am going to be a bit late 
for our meeting, but it shouldn't be more than 10 minutes" I could touch the 
screen near the top after Siri read back the message and I could then double 
tap once I found the message on the screen and I could review and if necessary 
correct any mistakes. That seems to be no longer possible, I have been meaning 
to ask a sighted person if they can do this, but when you use Voiceover at 
least after Siri reads back the message and asks if you want to send it you can 
check the screen anywhere and there is no message.

Yeah Siri gets quite a blot of that stuff screwed up since 16. I haven't done 
any updates since 16 because though there might have been some minor bug fixes 
with voice over and dictation, I do not want to be further disappointed. I 
often send messages on my back up old phone that has no phone service because I 
can still add to Siri dictated messages outside the message app and it will add 
to them without losing the first part of the already dictated message, which is 
what Siri now does. Losing those functions kind of defeat using Siri in such a 
context, that is, more spontaneously without having to go into the message app. 
Maybe it has to do with the function capacity of the SE 2nd generation phone.

stopping dictation

2022-11-29 Thread R Van Lant
Hi,
I've noticed something very  recently and think it came with an IOS 16 upgrade. 
 Wondering if it's just me.  I often dictate using the dictate button to the 
left on the keyboard.  I realize that I can one finger double tap to stop 
dictation, assuming that focus hasn't moved from that button, but it seems to 
me that I've been using a two-finger double tap for years.  As of late, doing 
this gesture out of muscle memory often starts the music player on my phone. 
Even if I do another two finger double tap to stop the  music, I'm still in 
dictation mode.  I found it easiest to  open the ap switcher and go back to the 
app, which disrupted dictation  for me.  So, does anyone else use a two-finger 
double tap to stop dictation and notice this as a change?  Either that, or my 
latest birthday has send my brain into some weird memory void.For now, I'm 
trying to retrain myself to the one finger double tap.

Robin on an  SE 2020 running IOS 16.1.1.

RE: Keepass touch stopped working

2022-11-28 Thread R Van Lant
What do you mean it stopped working?  I use KeePass on my phone and desktop.  I 
make my edits on my desktop and then access the file on KeePass Touch via 
Dropbox.  I can access my file as of today.  I agree that it doesn't stay 
synchronized in real-time, but I just grab the latest file from dropbox if I 
know I have made a change on my desktop.  Admittedly, I have not tried to 
update passwords on my phone and resaved the file to Dropbox, so maybe you do 
need at alternative if you need that. Anyway, the process I am using works.

text replacement question

2022-11-14 Thread R Van Lant
Hi,
I have set up a text replacement for my two primary email addresses, given how 
often we are asked to enter an email on a website or login screen.  It often 
works, but I have found times when hitting my three letter shortcut doesn't' 
work.  Usually I'll hear the little bubble sound as soon as I type the last 
letter and the replacement option is there.  Do you think that certain websites 
or apps have disabled this as an option?My work email address, in 
particular, is annoying to type on a touch keyboard, so I love the shortcut 
option.

RE: Outlook mail

I would stick with the native email app if you are comfortable with it.  I've 
started using the Outlook app for work email on my phone and, while it's OK. I 
still prefer the simplicity of the native email app and would not have 
voluntarily started using Outlook, if it weren't required to access my work 
account.  I do love Outlook as an email client on my laptops, though.

RE: Question about calendar

2022-10-21 Thread R Van Lant
I like using reminders if it’s something I need  to check-off, such as to give 
my dog her monthly medicine.  I like using the calendar for some things, but 
it’s really easy to delete the notification and then move on with life and not 
be reminded again. With the reminder, it stays in my notifications and I can 
also see it in the reminder app.  If it’s a recurring reminder, double tapping 
it will mark it complete for that instance.

In general, I love reminders because I can just tell Siri, ” remind me later 
tonight to take out the trash” or “remind me on Saturday to call mom”.  It’s a 
quick way to take ideas I have and get them somewhere were I can flick through 
all the to dos.

I have also seen as suggestion to buy a doorbell and put the noise making side

suggested this in a case where they were trying to find a particular driveway 
in a long row of houses.   I agree that AirTags may not be great, at least as a 
sound beacon. I read a comparison that Tiles are better for volume, but still 
probably not loud enough if the environment is loud. It just takes one

 As Sieghard says, you are the only one who can say if you need them.  I 
 personally don't need to spend $30 for one little tag to track anything.
 Perhaps if I travelled a lot and wanted to track my luggage, but even 
 then, in all the traveling I did when I was younger, my bags were only 
 lost once, and air tags wouldn't have helped since they ended up on a 
 later flight and were delivered to the hotel the next morning.

I was wondering that myself.  Would the sound chime as soon as you hit your 
power button, or take a little time.  Some very interesting things coming out 
in the apple world these days.

RE: [tech-vi Announce List] iPhone 14 Pro Models Will Have a New Chime During Startup

2022-09-08 Thread R Van Lant
I must have magical powers I have accidentally called 911 twice.  The first 
time I think I was holding my phone as we crossed a parking lot and got into 
the car. Suddenly I heard this alarm and 911 came on the line. Freaked me out, 
so I called Apple accessibility to find out how I had done it.  I thought we 
had turned off the feature, but then one night while dealing with a kid having 
a nightmare and trying to check the time on my phone, I again accidentally 
called 911. I did not hear a countdown or warning with the second time.  It 
would have been really stressful if the police had showed up at my door in the 
middle of the night trying to figure out if I was OK.So, there just must be 
something with the way I grab my phone where I end up pressing the side button 
and volume down button at the same time.

Subject: RE: [tech-vi Announce List] iPhone 14 Pro Models Will Have a New Chime 
During Startup

There are two ways to call emergency services with the side button and both of 
these methods can be disabled in Settings > Emergency SOS:

1. Call with Hold, the explanation reads:
Press and hold the side button and either volume button to make an emergency 
call. In certain regions you may need to specify an emergency service to dial. 
Auto call requires a SIM card.
If you swipe right you then have the "Call with Hold" button which will either 
say On or Off and you can double tap on it to toggle it.
If you swipe right again there is a further explanation:
If you press and hold the side button and volume buttons the emergency SOS 
slider appears. If you continue to hold them a countdown begins and an alert 
sounds. When the countdown ends iPhone calls emergency services.

2. Call with 5 presses
Rapidly pressing the side button 5 times starts a countdown and sounds an 
alert. When the countdown ends iPhone calls emergency services.

I personally have the press and hold option turned on since it is very 
difficult to accidently press and  hold either volume up or volume down along 
with the side button. Taking a screenshot requires you to also press volume up 
and the side button, but you simply press and release and I have never even 
come close to triggering the emergency SOS. Also, keep in mind that as long as 
you don't panic you can still cancel the emergency call, I believe the 
countdown lasts 5 minutes and there is a cancel button which allows you to stop 
it before the call.

Pressing the side button 5 times can be a bit easier to do accidently since 
most people set up the side button to turn Voiceover on or off with a triple 
press. If somebody maybe has some motor difficulties I could see how they may 
press the button 5 times instead of 3 times.

As for using the side button by itself to invoke SIRI is not a problem and 
there is no way you can call emergency services this way.
In the same way there really is no way you can make an emergency call if you 
press the buttons to power off your phone because you press them in sequence 
and not together: first press and release volume up, then press and release 
volume down and then press and hold the side button for just a moment until 
Voiceover says "Power off button".
There used to be a button on that same screen which allowed you to also call 
Emergency Services, but it's been removed in a recent iOS update and now all 
you have on that screen is Power Off, a button with a funny Voiceover label 
which says something about "Location fill radio waves left and right" and it 
has to do with whether your iPhone can be found with Find My after it has been 
powered off and lastly there is a cancel button.
If you are still worried you can always bring up the Power Off menu by going to 
Settings > General > Shutdown, it does the same thing as pressing volume up, 
volume down and the side button.


You have to press the side button 5 times quickly in order to bring up 
emergency calling.

RE: Aira and Be my eyes

2022-05-09 Thread R Van Lant
Beyond the confidentiality, I love using AIRA for help with online orders that 
have visual aspects.  My sighted spouse is not a tech fan, so it's less 
stressful for us both if I use an AIRA agent to log into my computer and 
Finnish online orders for me. Just a minute ago I ask my husband to help with a 
slider bar on an order website and he had no idea how to work it. I called 
AIRA, had them log into my PC and the guy quickly moved the slider to where I 
needed it then helped me finish the order.  Last week I bought play tickets for 
 my family, The AIRA agent helped me navigate the new site and select my seats 
in the theater.  Know those sites that have countdown timers on them to get  
your online order done? There's another time AIRA can help. One agent told me 
the shortest counter she had was a 2-minute clock to get the order done.My 
time and frustration  is worth the investment in AIRA.

Way Around app issue

2022-01-03 Thread R Van Lant
Hi,
I'm having an issue with the Way Around app and wondering if I'm alone. I'll 
write to the company, but wanted to check.  I'm on the IOS 15.2 on an iPhone SE 
2020 and the app is fully updated.  My issue is that nothing happens when I hit 
the Read button to read a tag or,  after editing the fields to create a new 
tag, it won't "Write the tag.  It says Way Cloud Connected at the top and I've 
even logged out and back in, but it hasn't worked for the past couple days.  
Can't recall when I used it before this past week, so I cannot say when the 
issue started.  Anyone else having issues?

strange issue with outlook mail on iPhone

2021-12-15 Thread R Van Lant
I just had an odd experience and wonder if any of you have faced this. My 
resolution is a work-around, not a true fix.   I have a primary Outlook email 
account that I sync to the native mail, calendar and contacts apps on my iPhone 
SE 2020 running IOS 15.1.   I also check this account via outlook on my laptop. 
 I have not changed the password for quite some time.  Suddenly tonight I got 
an error message when I opened my iPhone mail app saying that I needed to 
re-enter my password for this account and a secondary account that I recently 
added to my phone.  I followed the prompts to go to settings to enter the 
passwords.  The heading said that my account was not authenticated.   With both 
accounts, I attempted to enter my correct password, but it would come back with 
the same screen saying that my account was not authenticated.  I went to 
outlook.live.com on my laptop to validate that I was using the correct password 
and was, indeed, successful at logging into my account.  I tired one more time 
on my phone, but still was not able to authenticate.  Since the secondary email 
account is not really needed on my phone, I figured I'd just delete that 
account and not worry about that.  Oddly, once I did that my primary email 
account suddenly no longer needed to be authenticated and synced again.  All 
this happened within the last 90 minutes, based on the time stamp for the 
previous email update.   I'm glad to have my primary email and such working, 
but bothered that I was not having success in authenticating.Have any of 
you been prompted for passwords, even if you didn't' change it?  Anything I 
could have been doing wrong?

This Facebook editting bug started for me 3 Facebook updates ago. I found 
turning on screen recognition & tapping within the edit box activates the 
cursor. Once the cursor has been activated, turn off SR & proceed with editting 
the post.

Donna



A longstanding issue as far as I know, it's almost impossible to do on an 
iPhone and I doubt it has to do with iOS 14 or 15, but it would be something 
Facebook has to fix. I once tried to simply change the price of something and 
after 10 minutes I finally gave up, handed the phone to one of my employees 
with Voiceover turned off and it took him all of 10 seconds… accessibility at 
its finest.
All you can do is bitch to Facebook about it, whether it helps I don't know, 
but it certainly will not help if you don't do it.

RE: Amazon Household

2021-11-02 Thread R Van Lant
This is so interesting.  My husband holds the primary Amazon prime membership 
for our house and added me as a household member.   We were frustrated the 
other night because a movie I bought on my account wasn’t showing up on our 
firestick. I wonder if this is the way to share it.  Here is what I have found 
so far:

Using the Amazon app:

  1.  Click on Your Amazon tab in bottom of app.
  2.  Click on  Your Account.
  3.  Scroll down and click on Manage Your Household
  4.  Click on Manage Your Family Library
  5.  A section opens with checkboxes for the categories my husband is sharing 
with me and what I am sharing with him.  There is also a link that says we 
should go to in order to  Manage content and devices to control sharing of 
individual titles.

The checkboxes are not labelled up well, so I’m not sure what to click.  I also 
do not see a place to share the digital movies I have purchased, so I’m stuck 
here a bit.  This is where I would probably call Amazon Accessibility. I  just 
tried the Managed content and devices link and that was an even more confusing 
area. I can find the movie I want to share with my husband, but no option to 
share it.  Seems like sharing books is more straight-forward.  Good luck!





Based on the above, I would think that  your wife needs to go to this section 
and allow sharing of her books with you.  Not sure what it looks like  from 
there.  My husband doesn’t do digital books, so I cannot test it.

Subject: Amazon Household

Hello,

Is there anyone on the list who has had any luck with setting up Amazon 
Household. If you do not know what  this is I will try and explain it.

Amazon Household is a way of sharing your prime benefits with a spouse or 
partner and up to four children. With this service you can share all your Prime 
movie and tv content as well as your Kindle and Audible books. If you live in a 
home in which you and your partner both have separate Amazon Prime account such 
as my wife and I do, with this service you will be able to remove one of those 
Prime accounts so that you will only have to pay for one.

With Amazon Household each member still uses their own Amazon account to make 
purchases, but the members share all payment methods assign to said accounts, 
so you must make sure that you trust whomever you add as a Household member

I hope that I explained that well enough. Now onto the issue that I have had 
with getting this set up.

I created an Amazon Household account for my wife and I so that we could get 
rid of one of our Prime accounts to save a little money.

Now I can’t seem to figure out how to get everything set up so that I can view 
her Audible books so that I can get one from her account so that I can listen 
to it. I know that I could simply log into her Audible account in the Audible 
app, but because I am a big geek, I would really like to try and do it through 
Amazon Household so that I can see how it works.

If anyone on the list uses this service will you please let me know how you got 
everything set up? I am not sure if the problem I am having is an accessibility 
problem, or if it is just me not quite understanding how it is suppose to work.

Thank You,


Scott

RE: how do you block texts

2021-11-01 Thread R Van Lant
I recently had one of these group texts from a spammer to those of us with 
similar phone numbers. I found it best just to Hide alerts for this group chat, 
as various people who were spammed on the same text would reply with "stop" and 
other such notes.  In your messages inbox, flick up till you hear Hide alerts 
and this will at least keep them from showing up in notifications.

Hi All,

That is certainly one of several ways to block text messages from a specified 
source.  There are at least two more ways to do this:

1)  Provided the sender you want to block is in your Contacts, open the Phone 
app, select the “Contacts” tab at the bottom, locate the offending contact and 
open it, activate the “Edit” button and finally locate and activate the “Block” 
button at the bottom of the contact dialog.

2) Or you can open “Settings” and activate the “Phone” item.  Then locate and 
activate the “Block Senders” button, in the resulting dialog locate and 
activate the “Add” button and then simply fill in the telephone number you 
desire to block.

Seems like there ought to be a simpler way to do this.  I’ve done this using 
both above methods and the method Dan suggested enough times that it seems easy 
enough to me until I start giving written instructions!!!  YIKES

to do this you first have to open a text conversation.  You next double

list of choices.  The user guide says to scroll down and click on the "block 
this sender" button.  This is not correct because this choice doesn't show up

I have already alerted the Apple folks about this deficiency in the

Subject: Trouble with Bank of America app

Hi, list.
I am trying to log into my Bank of America app on my 8 Plus using iOS 15,, and 
am finding it frustrating.

I got the on line account set up anew at my local branch last month and finally 
got the courage to try to log in by mself after reading the terms of service 
agreement.

So I tried to enter what I thought was the user ID and password and could not 
consistently put myself in the edit boxes with my Bluetooth keyboard, nor could 
I find an on screen keyboard when I turned the Bluetooth off, I know sometimes 
sites and apps can be picky about requiring the on screen keyboard.

Occasionally I could get into the fields and get the bonks instead of clicks we 
have discussed before, and noted the log in button showing as dimmed as we have 
noted as well, but at one point I got a notice the password or ID didn’t match 
what was on file, and I had only a couple tries left.  So I used the forgot 
password section and eventually got sent to me an authorization code to reset, 
but those edit boxes were difficult to get into as well.  All the while I am 
having trouble finding the continue button when it’s required.  I didn’t find 
the send request button right away when it was time for the code to be sent to 
me.

I did get that entered eventually, and I could have just changed the password, 
but I went back and again tried what I believed I knew to be the password.

At least I confirmed I was using the correct user ID, but when I enter the log 
in screen it is showing me something elsd that was probably the old ID which 
was under a different email, and I can’t seem to get that edited out.

I’m unsure as to whether to check the box for save ID, I believe it is, and 
maybe that’s part of the problem too, the old ID may hae been saved someplace.

I’ve been getting the email alerts since I set up the ID last month, but I am 
really wanting to customize alerts and look over recent transactions, as I have 
had some trouble with some unexplained overdraws of late.  I’d even like to try 
their voice assistant, if it works well with using VoiceOver.

I did get an email saying my user ID had been looked up, giving a phone number 
to call for trouble logging in.  I am hesitant to call it, as I am not sure how 
much experience they would have dealing with a blind person using VoiceOver.

On one positive note, I deposited a check through an ATM for the first time, 
though I had to help since I didn’t have ear buds with me to activate the 
speech.  If I hadn’t been able to do that, my finances would have beeneven 
worse.

north Carolina or South Carolina recently so had not discovered the problem. I 
am using the regular siri samanatha voice.
However, when I tried to duplicate the issue today, Voiceover pronounced the

So perhaps Apple fixed the issue? Is anyone else still encountering this

Hi, I just sent the below to apple accessibility.  Curious if any of you have 
noticed it and if it’s fixed in IOS 15.

Since updating to IOS 14.8, I noticed a very strange mispronunciation.  I first 
saw it with reading an email from Southwest  Airlines using VoiceOver. Then I 
noticed it when reading a news story in Newsify where  the article mentioned 
South Carolina. This happens using Samantha and Samantha Enhanced and wit Siri 
#1 and Siri #4.  It did not occur when I switched to Alex.

Examples:
“South Carolina:   - If I read by word, it reads correctly.  If I read by line 
or continuous reading, it just says something like “Saw ja tee” and won’t even 
say “Carolina”.  If I ask Siri for the capital of S.C., she will mispronounce 
“South” the same way, but will say “Carolina”.

South Pacific:  VoiceOver will mispronounce “South” as above, but will 
correctly say Pacific when reading by line or continuously

When I type “Southwest”,,   it is reading it correctly, but was not reading it 
correctly on the header for my email from Southwest Airlines. It sounds like it 
is saying “saw ja tee west”.

This could be fixed in IOS 15, but I haven’t upgraded yet, having heard about a 
VoiceOver bug in the App switcher.

2021-09-27 Thread R Van Lant
Hi, I just sent the below to apple accessibility.  Curious if any of you have 
noticed it and if it's fixed in IOS 15.

Since updating to IOS 14.8, I noticed a very strange mispronunciation.  I first 
saw it with reading an email from Southwest  Airlines using VoiceOver. Then I 
noticed it when reading a news story in Newsify where  the article mentioned 
South Carolina. This happens using Samantha and Samantha Enhanced and wit Siri 
#1 and Siri #4.  It did not occur when I switched to Alex.

Examples:
"South Carolina:   - If I read by word, it reads correctly.  If I read by line 
or continuous reading, it just says something like "Saw ja tee" and won't even 
say "Carolina".  If I ask Siri for the capital of S.C., she will mispronounce 
"South" the same way, but will say "Carolina".

South Pacific:  VoiceOver will mispronounce "South" as above, but will 
correctly say Pacific when reading by line or continuously

When I type "Southwest",,   it is reading it correctly, but was not reading it 
correctly on the header for my email from Southwest Airlines. It sounds like it 
is saying "saw ja tee west".

This could be fixed in IOS 15, but I haven't upgraded yet, having heard about a 
VoiceOver bug in the App switcher.

RE: Updated and restored from backup, no music or bard books

2021-09-27 Thread R Van Lant
When I had to restore my phone, BARD books had not been backed up to the Cloud. 
So, the best way to find what I wanted was to go into the recently downloaded 
option under Get books and find any book I wanted to add again.

Subject: Re: Updated and restored from backup, no music or bard books

I don't know how Apple Music handles things, but I know that an iTunes backup 
never backed up music. When I restored from the backup of my iPhone 5 to the 
iPhone six, it had to retrieve the actual music tracks from the music on my 
computer, not from the backup itself. If you are talking about music in Apple 
music, I'll bet those tracks will stream from the cloud, you will have to 
download them again if you want them downloaded. If you are talking about 
tracks that you put onto your phone yourself, it seems that they would have 
been restored from your computer. Otherwise, unless you have iTunes Match and 
they are in the cloud, they are probably gone. I hope not.

If you are streaming music, and have not downloaded it, the Settings, general, 
About, will not show any songs, because none are on the device.
I suspect the music app will show what is available, but available when online, 
as Malcolm said.

You don’t have to download music to play it provided you have an internet 
connection.

If you want to play music when you are offline or you don’t want to use up your 
data allowance then the music has to be downloaded.

Sometimes I want to play music when not on wifi and at the time I had a limited 
data allowance so I would download music but now my plan is unlimited I don’t 
bother.

If you used iTunes with a USB cable you would have had to wait several hours 
for the songs to finish transfering.
You may have to do a full sync with your computer to get them all on the phone.
Good luck.
You could also call Apple Accessibility to get some assistance if needed.

RE: Question

2021-09-27 Thread R Van Lant
One basic method for doing this is to put the list of recipients in the BCC 
field. If anyone replies, the Bcc list  is not copied.  Services such as 
Constant Contact are an option.  They provide formatting tools for sending 
newsletters and I think you can set it up for no replied or at least only a 
reply to the original sender.  Our church uses a program to manager our 
directory and it allows this function of sending notices without the ability to 
reply.

RE: keeping track of which books are on which app

2021-09-13 Thread R Van Lant
I’m glad I haven’t missed anything obvious.   I signed up to Good Reads only 
because my book group leader wanted to try using it for voting on books, but, 
like someone else said, I have no interest in leaving behind my Excel file 
where I have my notes and opinion of the books I have read. I’ll have to 
consider adding some notes or a new tab.  I think I do have a tab on that file 
for books that have been recommended to me, so maybe that would be a way to 
build out a list of what I have and other options.

Hi,
Probably my favorite reason for having an iPhone  is the plethora of accessible

various apps and I’m now finding that I can easily  lose track of where a  book 
is.  To be more specific, I have Audible, Kindle, Voice Dream Reader, Christian 
Audio, Chirp  and BARD.  I’ve occasionally found that I’ve almost purchased a 
book in Audible,  forgetting that I had already found it on BARD.  Or, I 
download a book someone recommends to me or that I find on sale, then forget 
which app it’s in.   Some of  you talk about having hundreds of books on your 
phone.  Anyone found any great ways to keep track of what you have downloaded?  
 I will say that I’m not one to keep a book on my device once I’ve read it. I 
keep an Excel spreadsheet with books I’ve read and what I thought of them, and 
recently added a note as to which app I read it on, but this doesn’t help me 
with books I have yet to read.Just interested if anyone has any great ideas 
on ways to link everything into one list or something.

My solution when my adapter died was to go with a far less expensive wireless 
charger.
Unless your SE 2020 is in a case that prevents using the wireless pad, I'd go 
that route. I just bought one for about $17 while the adapter is $40.
So, two charging pads would be less than one adapter. I'll send the info again 
on both the wired and wireless options once I dig them up.

date.  I was not prompted for synching options, but found a place in the Gear 
icon where I could turn on auto-synching.  I’ll have to add a password on my 
laptop and see if it does sync to my phone.

Glad to be up and running again.

Robin,

The Sync button is no longer there regardless of what the Help section says. My 
database is still accessed through the Files button and it is located in one of 
my Dropbox folders so hopefully you can access yours that way too. If not, 
hopefully you’ll get a reply to your support request.

Hi Robin,

I no longer see the sync button either on the bottomline toolbar. But I'm also 
running version 1.12 of Keepass Touch so you might check the App Store for the 
latest update. I'd suggest after you update that you check out the settings and 
you'll hopefully be able to reconnect to your master database on Dropbox.

Hi,

Question for others using the KeePass Touch app.  I’m on version 1.11.8 on and 
iphone SE 2020 running latest IOS.



I sync my password vault to my laptop with DropBox.  I’ve had this set up for 
almost a year.  I recently opened my KeePass Touch app and it showed that my 
master file had not been updated on my phone since around May.  I did not know 
how to update it, so I deleted the file, thinking I would just have  KeePass go 
out to DropBox and open the file, just as I’d done in the past.  Strangely, now 
I cannot find how to do this to save my life.  The help file says to click on 
the Sync button and even says it is the second from  the left, which is what I 
thought I’d done in t the past , but I cannot find the Sync button.  The app 
screen says to tap  the add button to open a file, but, when I do that, it’s 
showing me iCloud and I cannot find any way to navigate to DropBox.  I’m 
stumped.  Any one out there do this recently  and know what I could be missing?

Once I read a book on BARD, I delete it, so I don't have many on my phone at a

If you back up your iPhone to iCloud and then get a new iPhone and restore from 
iCloud, will all of your saved barred mobile books transfer over? I’m actually 
asking for a friend who is having serious problems with his phone and not being 
able to see any of his bard books. He was thinking about getting a new phone.

RE: is there an advantage to BARD Express?

2021-07-05 Thread R Van Lant
Thank you all.   Glad I asked this question  I will likely download the app 
soon and give it a whirl.  One of my favorite features in the BARD mobile  app 
is that you can flick up on a book and pull up other books by the author or in 
that category, etc.  This has been my new way to look for books in a series or 
by the same author, but I think there will be times when I'm looking for 
specific books that the  BARD express app and my laptop keyboard  will be the 
preferred way.

Subject: Re: is there an advantage to BARD Express?

Robin, I use bard express all the time to quickly add books to my wish list so 
I can later download them to my iPhone.  If you use bard express to do your 
searches, one advantage is, you can use your computers keyboard to execute your 
search.  Once you've found your book, or books you want to add to your wish 
list, just, hit the spacebar to check each book you want to be added to your 
wish list.
Just then hit the tab key where you will hear add to wish list.  Hit enter and 
there you go.  Another advantage of bard express, is the list of book series on 
bard.  Say, I wanted to read the Dirk Pitt series by Clive Cussler.  I want the 
entire series to be added to my wish list, so, I can just read one book and 
download each book after finishing the previous one.  I open bard express and 
hit control g and wait for the program to bring up the series list.  I use 
first letter navigation to quickly find Dirk Pitt series.  After I hit enter, I 
now see the 25 books in the series.  I then just hit control a to select all 25 
titles.  By selecting all 25 titles, I have automatically checked all the books 
I wanted to be added to my wish list all at once.  I don't have to sit and hit 
my spacebar 25 times to check all
25 books.  I then tab to add to wish list, hit enter and very quickly, I now 
have the entire Dirk Pitt series added to my wish list, ready to be downloaded 
on my iPhone.  All these steps may sound like a lot of work, but it is really 
simple.  I often use bard express to add the books to my wish list every time I 
check for recently added books.

I only listened to BARD books via the BARD app on my iPhone.  I do my searches 
via the app and access my Wish List that way.  I thought I heard people excited 
about BARD Express, but the download page makes it sound like it's main benefit 
is to those who are downloading books to their PC and/or USB drive.  Is there 
any benefit to use the BARD app if I will not be downloading to my laptop?  
Does it make adding and managint my wish list easier?  That's the only reason I 
can think of what benefit it would give me.  Admittedly, searches for books on 
my phone can be a bit tedious, but the phone is usually in my hand when I think

RE: Strange Text Message Notification Issue

2021-03-18 Thread R Van Lant
I've missed a number of text messages recently. I'll have to watch for a 
pattern.  I think I'm getting all my call, The only calls I have missed are 
those that are likely spam. I just changed a setting to send all unknown 
callers to voicemail.  With this setting, I did not hear the ;phone ring, but 
got my normal voicemail indicator tone.

Seeing that others are experiencing the lack of alert tones & the phone not 
ringing with incoming calls- The problem started after I installed the most 
recent IOS update, 14.4.1. Anyone else notice this as a possible bug in this 
version of IOS.

disabling media control on locked screen -- or something like that

2021-03-08 Thread R Van Lant
Not sure if the subject line really captures what I'm trying to ask.  Hoping 
someone can save my sanity.  I rarely listen to the very few music files on my 
phone. I don't want to delete them, but I get really annoyed how they often 
actually start playing.  For example, if I'm listening to a book on BARD, I can 
use the remote on my earbuds to start and stop the book, But if I wait just a 
bit too long, then press play, music will start playing.  Also, each time I 
plug in my earbuds or a USB cable in our car to play a book through our car 
speakers, music is the default and starts blaring.   If I'm listening actively 
to an Audibl book, that will be the default thing that plays sometimes, which 
can mean I miss part of the book if I wasn't aware it started playing.  Is 
there any way to change this default with the media control?  If so, is there a 
trade off to doing so, given that I rarely listen to music?

Question for other Way Around tag users

2021-02-26 Thread R Van Lant
Hi,
I have started doing more  with  Way Around tags to supplement my Braille 
labeling, especially with clothes and items in my freezer.  I'm getting the 
hang of the angle for holding my phone to the NFC reader to pick up the tag.  
It's still a bit slow when I have a number of things I want to scan, so I've 
toyed with getting the WayLink accessory.  It looks really handy when you are 
trying to read a bunch of labels to find something specific.  I guess my 
question is whether  others have found it useful. It strikes me that it's  just 
one more thing that I have to keep track of.  They offer it with a belt clip, 
but I don't imagine it's something I want to neceesarily wear around all day 
since I'm not reading Way Tags all day. I guess another option is to have one 
of those business card holders affixed to my phone where I could store it, but 
that adds bulk to my phone. you do have to have your  phone close by anyway to 
hear VoiceOver read the tag labels aloud.So,  really curious to hear from 
anyone else who has this gadget and what you've found useful or annoying about 
it.

Thanks,
iPhone SE 2020

Yes, if you do not have a name, Zoom will ask you to enter your name and email 
to authenticate that you’re not a robot.
You do not actually have to enter your email, just something that looks like 
one. So it must contain an at sign and a period. I have often used 
d...@d.com<mailto:d...@d.com> which is definitely not an email address, let 
alone mine. I do take the trouble to write at least my first name so I won’t be 
iPhone.
If you do this in the Zoom app, it can actually remember you if you check a box 
foer that. You can do this without an account.
The supreme advantage to creating a free account is that you can actually save 
lots of useful settings including ones for how much zoom chatters. And your 
name will be there once for all. But even without it, you can make the signing 
in process a little easier than it offers to be.

Does anyone know how I can change this?  While in a meeting, I cannot find

my name in Zoom meetings

2021-02-24 Thread R Van Lant
Hi,
As it true for most of us, I'm doing a lot more meeting by Zoom and I often 
attend via  the app on my phone.  If it's a large group meeting where the 
attendees do not get to unmute, it seems that I'll get prompted to register and 
enter my display name and email.  My annoyance is for those meetings that are 
more casual where I'm just directly connected to the meeting. In these, my 
display name always comes up as just "iPhone".  I changed the name of my iPhone 
in IOS Settings to include my name, but this doesn't carry over to the Zoom.  
Does anyone know how I can change this?  While in a meeting, I cannot find 
anything in settings that ill allow me to change my display name.  If I click 
on the link in an email, the Zoom app loads and I'm not prompted to enter a 
name.  for others who attend via the Zoom app on the phone, have you found a 
way to change this or is this just the default for all iPhone app users?

That’s what I figured, Richard.  Bummer.  I raised my hand for about 20

RE: Is anyone else having problems with photo descriptions linking to the wrong photos in IOS 14.3?

2021-01-04 Thread R Van Lant
Yes. I had only labeled two photos and thee labels are not where they should 
be.  For the first one, I labelled a photo that I had received in a text and 
saved to my camera roll.  It was the last photo in recents when I labelled it.  
Even after I took more photos, the last one in the camera roll was still 
reading out with the label for the one I'd gotten from a relative, not the 
actual one.  When I look today, the last photo no longer has that label, nor 
can I even find that photo with the label.  

For the second one, I took a picture of my kids on their first day of school in 
August and labelled it so I could send it to family. The label I made is 
currently voicing on a photo I took in December.  I scrolled back up to the 
date when I took the school photo, and the label is not there, but the provided 
description matches two kids standing outside for the photo.  

I've now forgotten the gesture to label photos, so I cannot play with this, but 
I'll report it to Apple.  Sure glad I did not bother labeling more photos.

Subject: Is anyone else having problems with photo descriptions linking to the 
wrong photos in IOS 14.3?

Hi all 

Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem? Up to fairly recently, 
when I've put descriptions on my photos, they've all been fine and have stayed 
with the right photos. However, since updating to IOS14.3 my photo descriptions 
seem to have gone mad and have started attaching themselves to completely 
random photos. So when I've thought I was showing someone one picture it's 
actually been something totally different. With sighted help I've tried 
re-labelling them all, but it's not worked, as the descriptions have just gone 
and relocated themselves again. 

So just wondered if anyone else has been having this/similar issues? If so, 
does anyone know of a way of fixing it? 

Thanks for any help in advance.

RE: Tracker for dogs?

2020-12-11 Thread R Van Lant
Reggie,

I was waiting to see if anyone else had an idea before I chimed in.  I wonder 
if the TrackR app would work.  From what I understand, you havethe app on your 
phone and attach small beacons to your items, such as the dog collar.  It's 
meant to help you find misplaced keys and such or I heard the idea of blind 
users putting on luggage.  I think that you can use the app to ping the item 
and make it produce a sound, but there is something about a TrackR network that 
will help you find items that are out of range that you've lost.  That leads me 
to believe that there is some sort of maping aspect to it.  Anyway, here is the 
website so you can check it out.

RE: has anyone ever used any of the speed dots screen protectors for their iPhone?

2020-12-10 Thread R Van Lant
I had them on my first two iPhones and planned to get one for my newest phone, 
but haven't done it yet.  I really appreciated them to make finding certain 
common buttons, such as Back, Send, and such quicker.  I find now that my 
figers have the muscle memory on my new phone, since it's the same size as the 
old one I had with Speed dots, so I haven't gotten a new overlay yet, but it's 
a nice screen protector that adds functionality.  They have two models that 
differ in how many bumps are on the keyboard area.  I think I preferred the one 
that had fewer dots, only marking the F and J keys and a few others.  The other 
model has a bump for almost all the letters, except for the F and J and, while 
this was good when I was first learning, it wasn't necessary for me or kind of 
tickled my finger to have so many bumps, especially in other apps that are not 
using the keyboard.  If you feel like it will help, it's a small investment and 
gives you a screen protector to boot.

new issue in Facebook app

2020-12-02 Thread R Van Lant
I'm running into something new that I cannot figure out on the Facebook app.  
In a couple of my groups, I'm heaing VoiceOver say, for example" Jane Doe asked 
a question in Guide Dog Users".  After some standard date info, Voicover will 
say Tap Community Q and A post". I can head a comment about this, but I cannot 
figure out how to read what the question was and the answers provided.  Double 
tapping on the post does not open the post like it does with other posts in the 
same group.  Has anyone figured this out?

SE 2020 running IOS 14.2 and latest version of Facebook.
