Re: Bose headphones?

2020-02-10 Thread Shermeen Khan
Thanks, all. The comments about wired vs. wireless are interesting. Do
most makers of headphones allow you to plug directly into the
lightning port? or must you always have an adapter handy? I tend not
to be a fan of wires as a concept, but have not thoroughly tested
Bluetooth headphones to compare.

Bose headphones?

2020-02-10 Thread Shermeen Khan
Happy Monday all,

Is anyone using Bose over-the-ear or on-ear headphones? can you
comment on sound quality of music? I'd like to feel as though I'm
right there, conducting the orchestra or starring in the song I'm
listening to, if you know the feeling I'm after. Good bass is a must,
although not too obnoxious (you know when you're in a car, stopped at
a light, and the bass of the car next to you is rattling everything
within a kilometer range? that's not what I'm after).

And of course, if anyone has other recommendations, that would be
great. Note that I am not looking for anything that goes in the ear
itself.

Thank you!

Issue when reading text messages

2020-01-15 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,


Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but I only noticed it
now. I'm using an iPhone 11 pro max with IOS 11.3, and have noticed
that hwen I'm in a message window, and if I happen to tap the screen,
I'll be cycling through the last messages I've sent to many other
people, almost as if I am simultaneously in the message window with
one person, as well as in the main list of messages. Does anyone know
how to get rid of this clutter or view? It's ultimately ok, but can
certainly throw me off occasionally and make me think I'm replying to
one person when I intend to reply to another.

Thanks very much,
Shermeen

Are any other voices as consistently accurate as Samantha?

2020-01-10 Thread Shermeen Khan
The subject line basically says it all. Occasionally, I get bored of
the default voice, and briefly experiment with another voice. I
invariably go back to the default though, as they all seem to have one
peculiarity or another: they either sound odd and distorted if sped
up, pronounce too many words incorrectly, or are accented or inflect
in such a way that doesn't sound natural to me. What voices are you
all using, and what speed do you have them set to? What are your
thoughts on frequency of correct pronunciation?

Thanks, and have a great weekend.

Voiceover volume and the volume of ringers/alarms

2019-12-21 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,

I have the volume of my ringer and alerts set to fairly high, as I
often don't hear my phone ring if i'm not nearby or if it's buried in
a pocket or bag. Unfortunately, this also has the effect of voiceover
bellowing out the name or number of the caller, which doesn't exactly
allow me to ever be discrete, as VO will shout to the world the
identity of everyone who calls me. It seems that irrespective of
voiceover's volume, when the phone rings, voiceover will speak at the
same volume of the ringing. Similarly, I quite enjoy the bedtime
feature of the alarm app, whereby you indicate a time at which you'd
like to wake, and the alarm sound will start very quietly and
gradually get louder, so that you sort of "slide" awake. Unless you
have voiceover enabled, in which case you will hear "Alarm!" belted
out at top notch before hearing the initial gentle strains of the
awake alarm, which is rather jolting, as you might imagine. Have you
guys found any way around this? or do you just get over it and deal?

Thanks in advance,
Shermeen

Re: Why do you use the outlook for IOS ap?

2019-12-19 Thread Shermeen Khan
Ah, thanks for the responses. I had no idea what a focused inbox was.
Honestly, I, too, would prefer seeing all my e-mails, and generally
enjoy the native app.

My issue with the native app is that for my personal e-mail address,
where I'm subscribed to a bunch of mailing lists, I'm ok with my
messages being threaded, whereas with my work inbox, I actually prefer
them not to be. As far as I know, this level of customization is not
yet available.

Why do you use the outlook for IOS ap?

2019-12-19 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi there,
For those of you who use this app, can I ask why? what advantages to
you find that this app has over the native mail app? One of the
reasons I am thinking of getting it is so that I can have my messages
threaded in my native mail personal account, while viewing them as
un-threaded in outlook, but that on its own doesn't feel like a very
good reason.

Anyway, I'm interested in your thoughts.

Volume of voiceover changes randomly?

2019-12-18 Thread Shermeen Khan
Is this a known issue with 13.3? For some reason, vo is quieter when I
go into settings, but then becomes its normal loud self when i exit.
Occasionally and equally randomly, it'll get loud at other times. I
will share this with apple accessibility, but before I do, just wanted
to see if this is specific to me.

Thanks,
Shermeen

Sliding around the keyboard generates word suggesitons?

2019-12-17 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,

I'm sorry for just springing out of nowhere with five million
questions, but this luddite is trying to get in with the new, it's
hard to teach an old dog new tricks, etc.

I use touch-typing, and have voiceover sounds enabled. I also have
predictive text disabled, but have enabled auto-correct. When I am
typing, if I linger on one letter for a split second too long, or if I
slide my finger around the keyboard to get to the letter I'm looking
for, I'll hear a tri-tone sort of sound and then, if I keep sliding
around, I hear various words being suggested. This was not my
experience with ios 12 and my iPhone 8, and I'm not sure what gives.
Any thoughts or suggestions? It has certainly made typing so much more
cumbersome.
Thanks so much, and again, sorry for the thousand posts.

popping buble sounds while typing?

2019-12-17 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi again all,

Every time I touch-type, I hear all sorts of popping bubble sounds,
along with the keyboard clicks as well as the voiceover clicks. It's a
bit of auditory overload here. Without disabling all voiceover sounds,
is there a way to get the bubble noises to stop? I do like
auto-correct to be enabled, and it is, but these popping sounds make
typing feel so busy if you know what I mean. Can this be addressed or
customized in any way?

Thanks in advance,
Shermeen

Re: Choosing from which of your numbers to initiate a text or IMessage with dual sim

2019-12-17 Thread Shermeen Khan
Thank you so much.

Just in case anyone else is trying to figure this out as well, the
answer is to actually select the contact in the contacts app first,
and then you can swipe through and tell the phone form which number
you'd like to initiate various types of contact. You can then set that
as a default, or tell the phone to always call a given contact from
the last number you used. Clever.

Thanks again though for your response. I'll certainly keep apple
accessibility in mind. And the iPhone 8 will serve you just fine for
the next few years until you choose to upgrade.

Choosing from which of your numbers to initiate a text or IMessage with dual sim

2019-12-16 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,

I'm using an iPhone 11 pro max running IOS 13.3, and have both a
physical and an E-sim, representing my work and personal numbers,
respectively. I have (mostly) figured out how to make outgoing calls
and choose which outgoing number to use, but I can't for the life of
me send an IMessage or text message from my second number. I have
tried to look it up but the options I'm supposed to see just aren't
there. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks very much,
Shermeen

Advice on how to proceed with my Spotify issue

2019-11-22 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,
I wrote to the list a few weeks ago saying that I can no longer read
descriptions of playlists on Spotify, although I was able to with
older versions of the app. I have also posted to apple vis, and put
out a few posts in various facebook communities. A small number of
people agreed that they were having the same experience, many people
ranted on about unrelated issues, and one person even said they were
not experiencing this issue with the 13.3 IOS beta. I have raised this
issue with Spotify twice, using their online customer support chat
feature. The first time, the person said they would escalate it. The
second time, I was told that they could not see how they had impacted
any accessibility features, and that what I should really do is
contact apple accessibility, as it's a voiceover issue, not a spotify
one.

I do not know what to do next. Do I indeed contact Apple? And, is
there anything I can tell spotify about in terms of what they ought to
be doing differently with the text of the playlist descriptions? i.e.
could it be that the text is too small? no one seems to know what to
do when I say "the text is visibly there but voiceover will not read
it".

Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know I may just
need to cut my losses, but it's also very frustrating to feel as
though I'm getting nowhere.

Thanks, all, and happy Friday.

Please contact Spotify support to report accessibility change in most recent release

2019-11-05 Thread Shermeen Khan
Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but I'm really hoping that
people might feel compelled to contact Spotify to let them know that
as of the most recent update, voiceover users can no longer read
descriptions of any playlists. Remarkably, the chat option on their
website is accessible, although you can also e-mail
supp...@spotify.com or contact them on twitter or another social media
platform if that's easier. And if you haven't yet updated, I'd urge
you not to, as this issue is not specific to me.

Thanks, all.

Re: I updated spotify and now can't read daly mix descriptions

2019-11-02 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hello again,

Just a quick update. I contacted Spotify support via their website,
and the chat feature was remarkably accessible. The person I was
chatting with offered to escalate the concern to a specialist, and now
I'm just waiting to hear from someone. I'd urge other VO users who are
having similar issues with the update to do the same thing, or maybe
there's a more effective way of getting some movement here.

Thanks,
Shermeen

I updated spotify and now can't read daly mix descriptions

2019-11-02 Thread Shermeen Khan
I should have learned my lesson by now: update apps at your won risk.
I am running IOS 12.something on an iPhone 8, and just updated to the
latest version of spotify. They indicated "accessibility fixes" as
part of the update. As the subject line says, in my "made for Shermeen
K" heading, I can see my daily mixes listed, but it used to say
something like "daily mix 1: Sela, Andrew Peterson, Audry assad and
more. Daily mix 2: The Monteberity Singers, choir of kings college,
and more. and now it's not saying any of those types of descriptions,
just daily mix 1, daily mix 2, daily mix 3, etc. which doesn't tell me
anything useful. Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks very much,
Shermeen

Thanks, all. I will investigate this and see what I find out. My
understanding is that you would essentially have two Phone apps, one
associated with each phone number you are using. I imagine it would be
similar with messages, and then all other apps would be as expected.
And yes, Sieghard is correct--VOIP is not an option for what I need,
especially as I'd like to keep my personal number, and work has
already assigned me a phone number.

Dual sym card capability?

2019-10-30 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,

Has anyone tried and had any success with using two sym cards (or
micro-sims) in one phone? I seem to recall this being a feature in the
iPhone 11 onward, but didn't know if anyone had actually tried it.
It's a feature I have high hopes for, as I'd prefer to use one device
for both work and personal use, while maintaining different phone
numbers and such.

Thanks,
Shermeen

Re: Questions about face ID

2019-08-06 Thread Shermeen Khan
You know, I hadn't thought of instances like riding a bike or wearing
gloves, so I'll concede that point haha. I also didn't know that it
actually gets better over time, and that it somehow tracks attempts
that have been confirmed through a password. I do have it lying flat
on my bed next to me when it charges, and do not have "must pay
attention" enabled, as I thought it'd be an easier unlock if I wasn't
required to make eye contact with the screen.

I'm heartened that it's been working out for you, though. This gives me hope.

Questions about face ID

2019-08-06 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hello all you knowledgeable people,

So for work, I've been given an iPhone X. As you know, the only ways
to unlock the phone are through a passcode (which I find obnoxious at
the best of times) or Face ID, which I frankly felt was apple's way of
solving a problem that most people didn't find existed, but that's of
little consequence given that I have to use this phone now. You get
what you get and you don't get upset and all that sort of thing.

That said, I struggled tremendously to even set up face ID. I did my
best to follow the verbal instructions, but somehow never managed to
tilt my head just so or follow the arrow that was supposed to tell me
what to do. I ended up selecting an "accessibility" button that seemed
to mean that it didn't need to get my face from as many angles as it
might have from a sighted person, but then I also find that I need to
be holding my phone just so in order for it to recognize my face. For
example, I know I can't be the only person who sleeps with her phone
next to the pillow at night. Upon waking up, before even acknowledging
my consciousness, my hand is drifting up to my phone to either check
the time or to check e-mail or get my next digital dopamine hit, and
my phone is certainly not up above my face. How are those you using
face ID managing this? do you just sit up all alert and bright-eyed
before using your phone? can face ID be anything other than
irritating? Is it possible to have your phone next to your pillow,
turn your face towards it, and have it unlock? I even thought of
getting a sighted person to help me set it up in the detailed way it
wants, but is that even possible? will it not then just start scanning
the sighted person's face? oh my.

Thanks in advance, and I am missing the fingerprint option so much, if
you couldn't tell.

Shermeen

Re: Question about the bedtime alarm clock

Thanks, Sieghard. I'm always so happy when I see you've replied! If I
tell siri to turn it off, will she know to turn it off only for that
day? or will I need to reinstate it every night?

Thanks,
Shermeen

It's actually native to the clock feature of the iPhone. There is a
tab along the bottom of the screen called bedtime.

Question about the bedtime alarm clock

2019-07-16 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,

I've enjoyed the gentle awakeing I've been getting with the bedtime
alarm clock--I sort of "slide" awake now instead of being jarred,
which is comparatively pleasant.

I know that if I hit one of the volume buttons, the alarm will go into
snooze mode, and it'll turn right off if I hit the home button. What I
can't quite figure is how to turn off the alarm while it's snoozing.
Does this make sense? So, if the alarm goes off at 6:00, I hit snooze,
and am ready to actually get out of bed at 6:05. The alarm will go off
again at 6:10, but I'd prefer to just turn it off when I actually ge
tout of bed instea dof waiting. Anyway, I'm assuming there's a quick
fix that I just don't know of, so thought I'd reach out.

Thanks in advance,

Shermeen

IPhone X and screen sensitivity?

2019-02-08 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hello all,

I'm hoping this has an easy fix. I recently got an IPhone x for work,
and I am finding that when I am swiping to the right, the phone will
often treat the gesture as though I am rotating through the options in
the roter. I can't confirm that I am going 100% horizontal, but I know
I'm at least most of the way there, given that this swiping gesture
has not been an issue at all with virtually all other IPhones I have
owned. is there perhaps a setting that can help with this? am I having
a stroke?

Thanks very much in advance,
Shermeen

A few questions about Bos speakers and Spotify versus apple music

2018-12-17 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,

A few quick questions, if that's ok.

This weekend, I received as a present a bos sounlink mini--it's such a
powerful and tiny little speaker, and I got it paired to my IPhone
with minimal effort. That said, voiceover continues to play through
the bos speaker, which means that while I'm streaming music to the
speaker, I can't really use my phone for any other reason. is there a
way for the music to come through the speaker and for voiceover to
continue coming through the phone itself? or is that just wishful
thinking?

Secondly, a friend of mine has spotify, and I've found that the
playlists available to him are often better than those I can find on
apple music. Can anyone comment as to their experience with apple
music vs. spotify? could you justify having both? I say this knowing
it's obviously a matter of preference. Also, is spotify accessible
enough?

Thanks very much in advance, and I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!

Outlook for IOS?

2018-12-06 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,

Forgive me if this has been discussed to death, but I'm just wondering
as to the accessibility of the outlook for IOS app. I am getting a
significantly larger volume of work e-mail, and I'm also looking for
the ability to create several folders, so that when I scroll through
my mail, I can just swipe up or down to send it to a given folder to
look at later. is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any feedback,

Shermeen

Hi all,

Apologies for being the kid who only rushes to the list when
something's wrong, but I recently updated my youtube app because it
started yelling at me about being old and outdated (what else is new,
right?), and of course, the update feels unfamiliar and incomplete.
When I now launch the app and swipe through recommended videos, either
uploaded by people to whom I've subscribed or ones that youtube
correctly thinks may interest me, I can no longer see the name of the
channel/user. Is there a way that this can be done? I follow a lot of
people on youtube that, for example, review similar types of things,
and I'd like very much to know who's channel I'm watching before
clicking on a video. please tell me this is possible?

Thanks so much in advance,

Re: New color identifier, article from blind bargains

2018-05-16 Thread Shermeen Khan
That one that costs over 700 dollars was incredible, it's true. Very
accurate and like others have said, stand-alone devices tend to have
more accuracy than the IPhone with an app. I just wish they were more
affordable, given that they only do one thing.

Whoa! nearly 500 dollars? that thing had better be able to make me
breakfast, as well. Given that it doesn't do anything that can't be
achieved without too much inconvenience with little to no money, I'd
say it's a hard no over here. Certainly it would be convenient, but
absolutely not worth that hefty price tag.

rogers network for the mi-fi device. I'm so so close to getting it,
but again...having a hard time actually speaking to anyone there in a
reasonable time-frame.

I just want to add that Aira is being used by people who handle
sensitive and confidential information all the time, as this was a
concern for me when trying to have my employer cost-share Aira with
me.

Also, does anyone else have extreme difficulty connecting with a live
person at aira? My phone calls and e-mails are often not answered, and
when I do get an e-mail, it's after several days of waiting. This
makes me a bit nervous, honestly, as I've not yet signed up.

I'm starting to think it's because the website doesn't know if I ought

gives up. I've tried using LTE only, but that doesn't appear to solve

cannot view my audible wishlist in safari

2018-01-03 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,

I don't know if this is an IPhone issue, something to do with safari,
or something entirely unique to me, but for some reason I am no longer
able to view my audible wishlist in safari. Every time I click on my
wish list link (either by clicking on "view all in wishlist" or by
clicking the link from the main page that comes up on the mobile
site), I get a message along the lines of: Safari could not open the
page, too many redirects occurred.

Anyone have an idea why this is happening? I used to be able to view
it just fine. I can view it on the full site, but that's a lot more
cumbersome to navigate on the phone.

Thanks in advance!

Shermeen

Re: iPhone 6 Stuck in Earphone Mode

2018-01-03 Thread Shermeen Khan
I know you solved your issue, but I just thought I'd comment and say
this exact same thing happened to me a while back. In my case, the
trick was to close all apps in the app switcher and for some unknown
reason, that seemed to work. Thank god for the geniuses who figure all
this out.

has anyone managed to successfully read the display on an exercise
machine using this app or others like it? from what I understand, the

the time is relatively brief. has anyone had any luck with reading

 You received this message because you are subscribed to the 

accessible indoor cycling app

2017-10-19 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi group,

I'm wondering if anyone has discovered an app that features spinning
or indoor cycling-type tracks, complete with the musical soundtrack
and voice recording of the instructor giving directions. I've heard of
one called peloton, but of course it's inaccessible, and is also
specific to a particular type of bike and instructional parameters.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Shermeen

Well, so much for that. I can't even successfully report it, because
when I go to the accessibility feedback page, all there seems to be is
an edit box wherein you type key words about your problem, and of
course no combination of words I can come up with will bring up
anything relevant. There doesn't appear to be an e-mail address or a
messaging option. Has anyone successfully contacted fb accessibility
before? I've tried to use both the mobile and desktop versions of the
site, but have not had luck. Am I missing something?

Ugh, I wish there was another app that we could use...

thanks, everyone. I'll report this to facebook accessibility and
hopefully they'll address it.

Yes, swiping up with three fingers until you're at the top helps,
although somehow that can also get you lost in a sea of posts from
several days ago, so it's not organized from most recent to oldest. So
frustrating, and often why I don't update unless I have to, or unless
I'm foolish, which was the case this time.

an issue with the facebook apps and viewing groups

2017-08-09 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi everyone,

I made the mistake of installing the most recent version of the
facebook app, and since then, I can only see two posts from any given
group I'm in. I'll go into the group's page, and no matter what I do,
I can only see two posts before I'm at the tabs along the bottom of
the screen. This appears to be the case with all facebook groups I'm
in, so I doubt it's specific to any one group. Is there a setting I
need to tweak? are other people having this problem as well?is there
another app that people are using to access facebook?

Thanks in advance,

Shermeen

Sieghard, can I just say that you're so good at all this? You seem to
know so much about everything, and then you use that information to
really make your IPhone work so well for you and be so customized to

Thank you for the recommendation. I have downloaded the app and it seems quite

Thanks again for your help.

Looking for a particular calendar app

2017-05-19 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,
I hope someone can let me know if a Calendar app like this exists. I am hoping 
to be able to view upcoming events in their own window, as opposed to filtering 
down by month, and then week, then day. So for example, I wanted to see, say, 
the next five or six events that I have coming up, without having to go to the 
month or week I think they are in. Does that make sense? Does anybody know if 
an app exists that has this feature? I am not terribly impressed with the 
native calendar app.
Thank you so much in advance if you can help,
Shermeen

Re: Adding a song to an existing playlist in apple music

2017-01-13 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hmmm, perhaps I'm not explaining myself well.

I mean that I am having difficulty adding a song from, say, an apple
suggested playlist to an existing playlist I have on my phone. So, if
I have their suggested playlist up, and in swiping right through the
titles of the song, I see one I'd like to add to one of my own
existing playlists, I can't in fact just double tap it, as this will
only make the song start to play. If I do want to add it to an
existing playlist, I have to double tap the song title, which will
make it start playing, then bring up the mini player, find the more
button, and then choose add to playlist. So this means that I am not
actually able to spontaneously add songs to an existing playlist
without actually listening to them. If I recall correctly, this was
not the case in ios9. And if I do flick up and down on a song title,
there is no "more" option--just activate and add to library. am I
making sense? are other people having this difficulty too?

Thanks in advance!

Adding a song to an existing playlist in apple music

2017-01-11 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,

I distinctly recall this being less complicated in versions past.
here's the situation. I'll be swiping through a recommended playlist,
and come upon songs I'd like to add to an existing playlist on my
phone. When I flick up and down, my options seem to be to add to my
library or activate. Only if I click on the song itself and then
launch the mini player can I click "more" and then select "add to a
playlist". Is there a less cumbersome way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

are in the market for some Bluetooth ear buds (the kind that suction

Speaker sound quality comparison between the 6+ and the 7

2016-09-21 Thread Shermeen Khan
Would anyone be able to comment on this? I currently have the 6+ and
have been wanting a smaller phone again, but wouldn't upgrade unless
the sound quality was noticeably improved upon (I think the 6+ sounds
excellent, even though I think it only has the one speaker). any
thoughts?

Also, does the 7 feel identical to the 6, material-wise?

Thanks,

 Hi Monni, I love fantastical.  When you open the app there’s a new

 something like
 this:  “doctor’s appointment on july 3, 2016 at 2 pm”  And it will
 enter the information on the correct date.  I find it very voice-over
 friendly.
 Often I use Siri  to enter a calendar appointment and it shows up in
 both the native calendar app and fantastical.  I’ve not had much luck
 finding appointments on the native app, but it’s simple on
 fantastical.  You find the date and double tap it.  Then go down
 toward the bottom of the screen and you’ll find the list of events for
 that day. Hope this helps.
 Probably someone can give you better information, so don’t hesitate

Thanks for all the suggestions, folks. Sieghard, I took your advice
and added Alex to the roder, and somehow that solved the issue, but
only because I could change the language using the roder, but still
couldn't do it the "old-fashioned way" i.e. by just selecting it like
I used to be able to do. Ah well, all's well that ends well though, I
guess. I've reverted back to Samantha though, as Alex will always
sound better to me on a mac than on an IPhone, despite the high
quality speaker. It's as if he takes pauses in awkward places.

Anyway, thanks again, everyone!

This is very odd indeed. Alex has had time to download, as I confirmed
he was downloaded, and then deleted and downloaded him again. But it's
not just him. I can't seem to use anyone else, either. A hard reset is
when you hold down home and lock simultaneously for goodness knows how
long and then release and hope for the best, right? LOL

I have upgraded to 9.3, and cannot for the life of me select a voice
other than either the default or enhanced Samantha. I tried choosing
alex, and even deleted and reinstalled it, tried turning vo off with

A question about the Google maps app

2016-05-07 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi all,

So I have very recently discovered the usefulness of the google maps
app, particularly for planning a route with public transit. I know I
know, I live under a rock, guilty as charged.

But here's my issue. Suppose you have the following situation:
-You need to go somewhere that involves two buses. bus 1 and bus 2.
-the app first tells you to walk, say, five minutes to bus 1's bus
stop. And it says bus 1 will be arriving in 15 minutes.
-it then tells you to get on bus 1, ride it for, say, 6 stops,
totaling about ten minutes, and then instructs you to get off at bus
2's bus stop.
-then, however, instead of telling you when the next bus 2 will
arrive, it tells you when the subsequent bus 2 will arrive, leading
you to falsely come to the conclusion that there is no earlier bus 2.
What gives away the fact that there is indeed an earlier bus 2 is the
total length of the trip, as indicated in a previous window when
you're selecting from the various options.
-if you click on departures, it will indeed list a prior bus 2, a
connection you absolutely would have been able to make, as anticipated
by the app's estimation of how long the overall trip will take. But
unless you click on that departures button or whatever it's called,
you aren't given the initial bus (the earlier bus 2) as an option.
Does that make sense? Does anyone know what I'm talking about or how
you'd go about fixing this? I don't think it's an accessibility issue,
but I do think it's a glaring one, and am not sure if it's me or the
app.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Shermeen

wow. I definitely lurk on this list, but it has been entirely
worthwhile just to read this story! Unbelieveable! And I do hope you
tell us what happens next. I am impressed, as I once dropped my IPhone

ugh), and nothing could save it. I echo the curiosity about what case

Dealing with youtube ads

2016-04-22 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi everyone,

My apologies if this question is somehow in violation of the list
rules, but I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to watch
youtube videos ad-free on the IPhone. I don't actually have a huge
problem, other than that I will often stream youtube at night in order
to help myself fall asleep, only to be jarred rudely back to full
consciousness by a blaring loud add. Any work arounds? I don't mind
paying, if that's necessary.

Thanks,

Re: issues with purchasing photo packages in tap tap see?

Hmmm, well I've e-mailed the developer, and will write the list if I
hear anything back. I will try to purchase a month-based subscription
next, to see if the issue is specific to a given pack. That said, it's
still a weird issue to be having.

Re: issues with purchasing photo packages in tap tap see?

2016-01-27 Thread Shermeen Khan
Oh ok thanks. So it seems that this is just an issue with the 50 and
100 picture pack. As far as I'm aware, those packs are not
time-sensitive, so that if you use tap tap see once or twice a month,
you won't run out of pictures for quite a while. I don't see why they
would no longer support this option.

I seem to (yet again) be out of photos, so I am trying to buy any
package, but any time I do, I'm told that this item is currently being
modified, and that there's a purchasing error. This has rendered the

voyager edge setup

2016-01-20 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi everyone,

Well, I've buckled down as I shopaholicly do, and purchased the
voyager Edge. I'm really eager to get started using it, but am not
sure where to start. I'm quite technologically impaired at the best of
times, so it's possible that set-up is much easier than I'm imagining.
does anyone know of a podcast or set of instructions on getting
started? If it's at all relevant, I'm using an IPhone 6s+.

Thanks!

Shermeen

Re: Any reason why I shouldn't get the plantronics voyager edge?

2016-01-16 Thread Shermeen Khan
Thanks so much for all the helpful responses. I'm glad this earpiece
is so well-liked.

Is it easy to independently set up and use? or will I need sighted
assistance? I've heard that there are many features on the earpiece
that you can disable--can you do this on your own, as well?

Thanks!

Any reason why I shouldn't get the plantronics voyager edge?

2016-01-15 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hello everyone,

I know I know, yet another Bluetooth earpiece message, right? I'm
sorry, and do feel free to reply to me off-list at
shermee...@gmail.com if you'd rather not clutter up the list.

Basically, I'm looking for a single-ear Bluetooth earpiece that will
allow me to listen to audio books, as well as to participate in
hands-free talking. The vast majority of the reviews I've come across
seem overwhelmingly positive, and I'm just wondering if people have
encountered any issues I should know about. For those who enjoy the
edge, what do you like most about it? I have a small head and small
ears--does anyone think that fit will be a problem? Also, is there a
manual somewhere that will instruct me on how to go about pairing it
with and using it with my IPhone? I have never paired anything with my
IPhone via Bluetooth before, so I know I've got a lot of learning to
do.

Thanks,

Shermeen

Re: IMy inbox on my phone says I have 1 unread message but actually there's no new email

2016-01-15 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi Jen,

I had this issue, and it turned out I had a message or two from Apple
in my ICloud mail account, which I didn't even realize was a mailbox
set up on my phone. If you hit the back button when you're in your
Hotmail inbox, you might see the ICloud mail as an option, and then
you can go in there and clear any messages you see.

occasionally unresponsive space bar, ,and mutliple letters issue

2016-01-07 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi everyone,

I have experienced the following two issues with all IPhones I have
had (the 4, 5, 6, and 6s+). One issue is that sometimes, when I hit
space, either nothing will be entered, or c  or v will be entered. I
know that it's possible that sometimes I have accidentally hit c or v,
but there are definitely times when I suspect I haven't. Also, the
fact that sometimes I'll hit space and nothing will happen at all is
quite telling and very odd and frankly annoying.

Next, when I'm touch typing fairly quickly, I'll suddenly stop hearing
the clicks that confirm to me that letters are being entered, and then
after a short silence in which I continue to type the rest of the
word, the phone/screen will unfreeze and then I'll hear multiple
clicks at once, but what will be entered is multiple of a given letter
in my word, and not the whole word. So, for instance, if I intend to
type the word "revise" and this issue comes up, what'll come out is
something like "rev". Does anyone know what I'm talking about or
have suggestions?

Thank you. I appreciate your help in advance. This list is a god-send.

Shermeen

two bugs I have encountered

2016-01-02 Thread Shermeen Khan
Hi everyone,

I'll try to keep this brief.
1. The focus issue. I know that people have noticed this in many
contexts, but I am specifically wondering if people have noticed it in
the "for you" section of apple music. You'll be swiping right through
the options, when suddenly it'll throw you back to the left a few
spots, and you'll end up swiping through the same cycle of
suggestions. Is it just me?

2. This is one some of my friends don't seem to have. When
touch-typing a message, and particularly if I haven't located and
intentionally pressed the first letter of a word, I'll finish typing
my approximation of a word, hit space, and then just hear the last
letter being announced, but not the entire word. So for instance, if I
am hoping to write the word "breaking", and don't start by locating
the letter b, but start approximately where I think B will be and hten
guessing at the rest of the word and then hit space, I'll often hear
"g" instead of the word. If, however, I intentionally locate the
letter b, select it, and then free-type/guess the remaining letters,
this doesn't typically happen. For the record, I'm using touch-typing,
and ios 9.1 on an iPhone 6s+.

Thanks!
