Using Chat GPT, and other Apss

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


First of all, please know that I am not trying to start anything, with 
the questions that I am about to ask. I honestly want to understand how 
these things can be of help to me. But, not do all of the work for me.



I am curious, does anyone here use Chat GPT? Or, Microsoft Co-Pilot?

Not sure I spelled that last one correctly.


If anyone here does use these Apps, or any others I might not be aware 
of, how accessible are they?


Also, what might you use them for?


I am currently attending a local community college. My goal is to 
hopefully get my Masters degree. I am a long way off from this though, 
and life could go in a totally different direction. I am also an older 
student. I don't even know if I will ever have a career.



Anyway, one thing I would like to use Chat GPT for, is to get help with 
my writing. I never really learned how to write papers in high school. I 
feel so behind in this area. I am told all the time that I need to kind 
of learn to BS my way through stuff.


However, I am not at all good with that sort of thing.


Please understand, I do not want to cheat! Or, plagiarize anything. I 
really just want to use AI to help me with this huge struggle. I want 
help with structure, and all that. But, I want to make the paper my own. 
And, make changes where necessary.



However, I also want to make use of these Apps, in other ways as well, 
if this can be beneficial for me. I just don't know enough, to know what 
I might be missing out on. I know we do have to be careful, when using 
any sort of AI. And, we need to be smart about what we do. I just think 
though that all of this stuff can really benefit us in a lot of ways.



Thank you to anyone who has read this. Any thoughts, or advice will be 
very much appreciated.



Terri

Questions regarding notifications on locked screen

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


Since the latest IOS update, I have been having a small issue. I do not 
know how to fix it.



I receive a lot of notifications on my phone, as I am sure many of us do.

However, now when I get a notification, and my screen is locked, instead 
of just getting the notification sound, I get the announcement of the 
notification, as well. Eventually, the phone does lock again.



What can I do to stop this from happening?

I don't expect this to be perfect, as sometimes the phone just gets a 
bit chatty. But this is new, and just a bit annoying. Especially, when I 
am in class. Most of the time my volume is down, and most people don't 
know what my phone is saying anyway. But still, I would like to not have 
this issue, if at all possible.



What do you all think?

Is it possible to fix this?


Thank you,


Terri

Just a few upgrade questions, and other comments

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


First of all, I have really appreciated reading the thoughts, and 
opinions on the new phones. As well as peoples experiences with them, in 
the stores. I always find this sort of stuff helpful.



I am considering upgrading my phone. At first, I wasn't going to do it. 
I love my 12 mini. It's smaller, and pretty easy for me to hold. It 
still works quite well, and I really don't have any issues with it.



However, I get my phone service with T-Mobile. If I were to upgrade now, 
it would be better for me, then if I were to wait another year or so. 
Right now, I can trade in this phone, and it will help go toward the 
cost of my next phone. I really don't want to have to trade in this 
phone. But this is the way I have to go about these sorts of things, if 
I ever want to upgrade.



My battery in my phone is degrading. I actually have a service message 
on it, that states that I need to replace the battery. So I could do 
that, and use this phone for longer. But a part of me thinks that it is 
just better to go ahead and do the upgrade instead.



I would be interested to hear what people think about this. I know some 
of this will be opinion. That is fine by me.


However, some of you on this list know way much more about these sorts 
of things than I do. That is something I have really come to appreciate 
over the years. It is a big part as to why I remain a part of this list.



I plan to go to my local store within the next week, or so. I want to 
hold the 15 plus, and the 15 pro. I want to explore them, and see which 
one I might be most comfortable with.



I was also considering checking out the 14 pro. Just so that I would 
know all of my options. I am not interested in the pro, max phones. That 
would just be too large of a device for me.



I really like the idea of having a phone that uses USB C charging.

However, what sorts of charging blocks might I need?


I am not sure if I have what I need, to support that type of charging. I 
know I at least have one. I usually try to buy dual charging blocks, 
because I have so many devices, that this just works better for me. Or, 
I have friends that come over, who need to charge their stuff.



I am really looking forward to possibly getting a pro, just for the 
camera. I never in my life thought that i would want a phone, for it's 
camera.



However, the new feature with Be My Eyes, has been a game changer for 
me. I use it quite regularly. At least, once a day. Usually a lot more 
than that though. I am still not always the best at taking a picture. I 
hope that this might improve in time. I just don't always understand 
how, or where to aim the camera.



Are the cameras really all that different from the 12 Mini I have now, 
to the 14 pro, or the 15 pro?



I really want to make the best choice possible for myself. But of 
course, I won't know really what to expect, until I go to the store.



What do you all think?

Any thoughts, or suggestions are much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: today's Apple Event

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello Sieghard, and list.


Are you really all that surprised?

Or, were you being sarcastic?


I feel that there are not a lot of messages on the releases, like there 
once was, because really not much has changed. Some changes, certainly. 
But nothing grand, I don't think.



I am actually trying to decide if I want to upgrade my phone, or just 
replace it's battery. The battery needs to be replaced. But I like this 
phone quite a bit.


I have the 12 mini.


Thank you,


Terri

Wondering about WeightWatchers App

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I was wondering, can anyone tell me if the Weightwatchers App is accessible?


I was considering giving it a try. But before I even decide to look at 
plans, and such, I really want to know how easy this App might be to 
navigate.



Any information would be appreciated.


Thank you,

Questions regarding my Apple watch

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I just have a quick question, or two, regarding my Apple watch.


Is there a way to set it, or a way to enable it, so that the watch won't 
speak, if the face is touched?


Or, just if I move my arm in a certain way?


This always seems to be happening to me. Which in most cases is fine.


However, I will be attending college soon, and I do not want my watch 
going off all the time. The yammering would not be appreciated by 
others, that is for sure. LOL!



Any help would be much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

My Seri voice has changed

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


A couple of days ago, I noticed that my Seri voice had changed. I used 
to have this pretty cool British voice, that I very much liked.



I recently updated my iPhone to the latest update. This was about a week 
ago. Although, it may have been a bit less time than that.



Also, I just recently set up my new iPad, and made sure it was up to 
date as well. When I set up my iPad, I did this as a restore from iCloud 
backup.



It was not long after I set up my iPad, and used my phone that I noticed 
what had happened. I thought at first it was something that would 
correct itself after a day, or so.



However, this has not been the case. And, this morning when I looked 
through my phone to try and set the seri voice back to how I had it, I 
couldn't even seem to find this voice as an option. Of course, I don't 
quite know which one it was. But I would know it if I heard it.



So with this latest update, did we lose some voices?

Or is it possibly something else?


Any thoughts, or suggestions are much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Looking for a Bluetooth, keyboard case recommendation for latest generation of iPad

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,

My subject pretty much says it all. I am in need of some recommendations for a 
Bluetooth, keyboard case, for the latest generation of iPad.

I received an iPad, and I am wanting to get a really good case for it. But I 
would like to have one that is a keyboard as well. If this is even possible. I 
have been trying to research what is out there. I see that there are some Apple 
cases, that are also keyboards. But I want to make sure I get something that's 
going to be accessible as well.

Any thoughts, or advice is much appreciated.  This is the regular iPad. I hope 
that helps. I'm not quite sure how to classify that. But it's not the pro, or 
the mini. So I figured that made the best sense.

Thank you,

Looking for accessible GPS App

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I was wondering, is there an accessible GPS App that I could use with my 
iPhone?



It doesn't matter so much if it is free, or if I have to pay for it.


I am looking for something that can show me what is around.

But also, a way to know where possible sidewalks are. But I am uncertain 
as to whether or not such a thing exists.



I am wanting to be able to walk to the rec center that is only about a 
4th of a mile from my home.


However, I don't know if this is even possible.


Any thoughts, or suggestions are much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: Have you Gone Wireless, Yet?

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello Mark, and list,


First of all, I appreciate your thoughts, and questions. I like the 
discussions, and thoughts from others that can end up happening. It's 
helpful at times.



For me personally, I absolutely love my Beats wireless earbuds. I use 
them quite regularly. I can't always use them every day though, because 
they can cause my ears to hurt. Also, I think they cause me headaches at 
times, as well. So I do have to be careful with them.



I never thought I would spend so much on headphones, especially earbuds. 
In my mind, spending that much money on such a thing just really makes 
no sense. I can't explain really why I feel that way. But then I bought 
these, and they are one of my most favorite things. I make sure to try 
and take really good care of them.



I can understand why some people still might want to use wired 
headphones. And I am glad to know that they are still quite readily 
available. I think the options should be there for people.



I enjoy using my Beats, because I am able to go around my apartment, 
getting things done, that I need to do, quite easily. I've learned to 
navigate pretty well, with the earbuds in. I just really love the 
convenience they offer me. Plus, I love how easy it can be to answer 
calls, or texts if I need to do so. Although, I do realize that this 
doesn't matter if they are wireless, or not. I think it is just nice 
that they aren't tethered to my phone. I will say that at first this 
felt odd, if I walked away and left my phone on my table. But I am 
getting more used to doing this now.



Also, probably about two years ago now, I bought some cheap, wireless, 
over the ear headphones from Amazon. They have pretty good sound for me, 
and for what I use them to do. I mainly use them to listen to my audio 
books. They aren't really good to use when answering calls.



Anyway, I enjoy them as well. I love how they are over the ear, and not 
necessarily earbuds. Even though they can be a bit bulky. And they can 
get hot on my ears, sometimes. But I love the portability they offer. 
They also fold up. So even though they are bigger, they can be easy to 
take along with me. So that is really nice.



Anyway, I don't know how helpful all this is. LOL! This is all just my 
personal thoughts, and opinions. But hopefully it helped someone. I just 
enjoy the convenience, and portability, and flexability.



Thank you,


Terri

Hello All,

I have long been a fan of Apple wired Ear Pods.

I had to have my original beloved 8 Plus replaced, about a month prior to
its warranty expiration because the audio function of the Lightening port
went bad.

For the last 6-months or so, perhaps longer, while the Lightening port on my
replacement 8 Plus still functioned as expected, it lost the ability to
retain a cable, unassisted.  This is to say, when I hold the phone in
portrait mode, perpendicular to the ground, any attached cable will fall
out.

I am certain that I was the blame for this as I used to frequently roll onto
the phone, when sleeping; very often tangling  the cable with tension for
hours at a time.  (How's that for too much information? (smile)).

My point, I am determined not to ruin the Lightening port on my 14.

With that in mind, I am doing my best to wing myself from the wired Ear Pods
in favor of Apple Air Pods.

Even though I like Air Pods and they are definitely more convenient to use
than the wired alternative, I still find myself reaching for the wired pair,
more than anything else.

I was just wondering how many of you have gone completely wireless having
all but abandoned the wired Ear Pods?

It is interesting because when I go to Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc. I
always see wired Ear Pods, with either the Lightening or audio connector,
readily available.

All replies appreciated.

Mark

Moving Apple cash to my bank account

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I was wondering, is it possible to move any Apple cash you have, to your 
bank account?


If so, how might I go about doing this?


My friend says it can be done. And if they go and view their cash, after 
their  list of transactions, they have an option to transfer.


However, I don't have this as an option. I don't understand why.


Do I somehow have to add in my bank account?


Any help would be much appreciated. This is rather frustrating.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: Major problem after updating to 16

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello Davie, and list,


I actually wasn't blaming anyone in particular. All I was trying to 
figure out, is what I might do to fix the issue. I could use the App 
just fine before I did the update. So this whole thing is frustrating 
for me.



However, I wasn't blaming anyone. That isn't usually the way I operate.


Thank you,

Onderwerp: Major problem after updating to 16

Hello everyone,

I updated my iPhone 12 Mini yesterday, to IOS 16. It all went very smoothly for 
me, which I am very thankful for. I haven't really ran into any problems.
Such as, the different bugs I have read about.

However, I just discovered a huge problem, and I don't know if there is 
anything I can do about it.

My banking App is now not as accessible. I can see my accounts, and what money

   I tried turning on screen recognition to see if this would make much of a

I will definitely reach out to Apple. As well as my bank.

Re: Major problem after updating to 16

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I have looked for an update to my bank. But at the moment one has not 
been released.



I use a credit union called, Together. It's here throughout Missouri. It 
might be in other states as well. I am just not sure.



I did reach out to my bank, and am currently waiting to hear back from 
someone. So hopefully this will happen soon.



Thank you,


Terri

Re: New voices iOS 16

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello Dennis, and list,


I don't care for it at all! I think it sounds just as muffled on my 
phone, as it does on my laptop. Maybe even more so, on my phone. It's 
not something I will use.



However, with that said, I am glad that it is an option for people who 
enjoy it, and would prefer to use it.



Thank you,


Terri

Re: Novelty voices

[Terri Stimmel]

Shirley,


First of all, thank you for making me laugh. I really appreciate that. I 
thought your reaction to the novelty voices was funny.



However, I totally agree with you. I mean, I can understand, and can 
even appreciate people loving the novelty voices. If that is what you 
are used to dealing with, then I git it.



But I will admit I don't fully understand why they need to be options on 
the iPhone. I mean, they don't sound all that clear. Some of them seem 
quite difficult to make out. They sound rather odd!


Maybe if you are used to listening to your speech quite slow, then those 
voices sound better? I really don't know. But that is a guess.



Right now, I am using one of the Serie voices as my main voice. It 
sounds pretty clear to me, and understandable. In the past, I have used 
Alex, and Samantha.



I have to be careful with what I use though, because I feel that the 
voices are not clear enough, and can sound distorted. I am not quite 
sure what causes this to happen. But this is partly why I don't use Alex 
any longer.



Anyway, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the voices. I appreciate 
hearing what you, and others here on the list have to say.



Thank you,


Terri

Question regarding Libby

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I have heard of Libby before. But I haven't ever attempted to use it.


However, after reading about Mark's experience with it, I thought I 
would download it, and give it a try.



I have a question though, that I hope someone can answer.


If I am able to search my library, and find audiobooks I want to read, 
how do I actually listen to them?


And, if they are on hold, does this mean I can't get one, until a 
physical copy is available?



I am slightly confused as to how this works. Any thoughts, or 
suggestions are much appreciated.



Thank you,


Terri

Hello Everyone,

After reading several posts, here on the list, I decided to really give
Libby, the public library app for borrowing both audiobook and e-books, a
try.

Until this point, I've been a big fan of Over Drive.

Well, after forcing myself to delete the Over Drive app from all of my
devices, I must admit that Libby does seem to have more to offer for those
of us using VoiceOver.

The feature I like most about Libby is that now one's book location is
synchronized across all associated devices.  This behavior has long been a
feature of both Kindle and Audible.  Now, if only the BARD app would add
this feature .

I have contacted Libby tech support to see if there is a way to search a
libraries catalog via the book description field either instead of or, in
addition to, the book title field.  For example, I may want to search a
catalog for all books with the phrase and/or words, "lost at sea," in the
book description.  I hope this is possible.

One feature that I cannot seem to locate in Libby that was / is a part of
Over Drive is the ability to see titles similar  to any given title,
currently in focus.

For example, If I have the book, The Davinci Code" in focus, I would like to
see similar titles listed, as well.  In Over Drive, six similar titles were
always displayed with any book in focus.

Just as an FYI, I received a notice, yesterday, that Over Drive will be
discontinued in 2023 so the developers are strongly recommending that
everyone switch to Libby.

Making an App more accessible

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


What are some of the best ways to reach out to an App developer, about 
making their App more accessible?



I haven't ever attempted to do this sort of thing. I don't have a lot of 
confidence in doing such a thing. But there is an App I would like to be 
able to use. It is somewhat accessible.



However, there are areas that could really use some improvements. I 
would like to reach out to the developer and share my concerns. Also, 
what I think needs to be worked on.



But it is very important to me to state what I am needing/wanting, 
without being ugly. Or with just saying something like, this isn't 
working for me. Sometimes though, I can find it difficult to express why 
it might not work, or what changes might need to be made.



Could anyone who has much more experience with doing such things, please 
give me some pointers?



I would really appreciate this.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: Using the Good Reads App

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I just wanted to send out a quick message, and say thank you to all of 
you who responded to my questions about Good Reads. I know it's a small 
thing. But I really do appreciate this.



I want to be able to use this App for many reasons. Mainly, for keeping 
up with what I am reading. But also for finding new things to read. And 
I think it can be fun to discover what others are reading as well.



So, thanks again. It's much appreciated.


Please stay safe, and well.


Terri

Like others, I have successfully used GoodReads since 2016 and have
had no issues. I have seen in the What's New section of app updates
mention of accessibility or VoiceOver updates a few times, so that is
good to see. I can't off hand think of a part of the app which is not
accessible, but there are probably one or two places. Perhaps scanning
in barcodes, but you could just as easily enter the information
through cut and paste from a site like Amazon. To answer the
specialized format issue, another option is to create a bookshelf
labeled Braille, and store all of your Braille or audiobook titles
there when you finish the book.

Happy reading,

Also, where do you find problems with it?


I would really like to use this App, if it is at all accessible. I tried 
it about a year, or so ago, and it really wasn't. But things can change.



Any thoughts, or advice would be very much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Using scanning software to find dates on products

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,

I have the iPhone 12 Mini. I wasn't sure if knowing this would be helpful, or 
not.

However, I am trying to organize my freezer, and make sure I try to work on not 
purchasing items we might already have. It's amazing how often this can happen, 
if you aren't careful. It can be easy to forget what you may already have. LOL!

Anyway, I use both VoiceDream Scanner, and Seeing AI, to read packages. I am 
still not the best with being able to use either of this. But the more I 
practice, the easier it seems to get. I still can struggle to know what to do 
with the camera.

But I was wondering, is there an easy way to be able to find the use by dates, 
on food items?
Are any of you successful with such things, on a regular basis?
If so, could you please offer tips on how to do this?

Any help is much appreciated. If I have friends that can help me, I do take 
advantage of this. But the help is limited.

Thank you,

Terri

Bluetooth keyboards for iPads

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I am possibly getting an iPad for my birthday. Although, I am not 100 
percent sure about this. I have wanted one for a while now. But I can do 
most things I want to do, on my phone. Plus, I don't really know how 
having one might help me.


However, I certainly will make the best use of one, if it is something I 
get for my birthday.



With all that said, does anyone know if they make bluetooth keyboards, 
that fit over an iPad?


I guess that would likely be more of a keyboard case?


I know years ago, they used to make something like this. As when I had 
an iPad Mini, for a short time, I had one of those.



My other question is this.

If you can use a bluetooth, keyboard case with an iPad, are there 
commands you can use, so that you aren't always having to use the screen?



I think my hesitation with having an iPad, is that I know how slow I am, 
when it comes to a touch screen. I can do quite a bit with my phone. And 
I use it all the time. But when it comes to typing on it, I am rather 
slow at it. No amount of practice over the years, has really changed 
this. So I know it will be this way for me, if I am trying to use an 
iPad. As often as I can, I use my bluetooth keyboard with my phone, to 
type. Or I dictate.



Any thoughts, or suggestions would be much appreciated. I would likely 
be getting an iPad Mini. As this is what I have talked about wanting, in 
the past.



Thank you,


Terri

Looking for accessible language learning Apps

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I can't remember if this was recently asked here, or not. If so, I do 
apologize. I know I saw similar questions somewhere.



Anyway, I am looking for an accessible App, to help me possibly learn a 
new language. I am most interested in learning Chinese, Spanish, and 
maybe one other as well. I don't know how possible any of this is. But I 
just really want to try it, rather or not it works out.



I want an App where the learning is done through interaction. Not just 
studying, or trying to do a lot of memorizing.


Also, I don't mind purchasing an App. Or paying to learn the languages. 
But I would like the App to be quite accessible, and easy to use, if 
possible.



What do you all think? Does what I am looking for, even exist?


Thank you,


Terri

Questions regarding Powerbeats Pro

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I just recently purchased a set of Powerbeats Pro. I absolutely love 
them! I wasn't quite sure I ever wanted such a thing. I couldn't 
conceive of spending that much money on earbuds, or earphones. But then 
I had a chance to check them out, and I decided to get them. It was so 
worth it to me.



I love how incredibly easy they were to set up with my iPhone. I also 
love the charging case, and how after a five minute charge, you have an 
hour and a half of usage. Not to mention, they have a wonderful sound to 
them.



But I do have a couple of questions. I am not really sure if any of you 
will have answers for me, or not. These questions aren't really 
regarding how the Beats work.



But for those of you who use these, how did you go about adjusting the 
hooks?


How did you make them more comfortable of a fit?


My right Beat feels like it is a tighter fit into my ear. And it hurts 
more, and a lot quicker than the Beat in my left ear. I want to adjust 
them. But I certainly do not want to damage them.



Also, are the tips supposed to kind of be bent down?

Those are not adjustable, correct?


Any help is much appreciated. I hope I will get to enjoy these for quite 
a long time.



Thank you,


Terri

Questions regarding smart bulbs, and Apps

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I am thinking it is ok to ask this here. But if not, please just let me 
know.



Anyway, we are hoping to purchase some smart bulbs for our place. We 
want to use them in our bathroom, and in our kitchen. As well as in a 
couple of lamps, if at all possible.



However, I don't know much about them. So I have started researching 
them. We have Alexa. So we would want them to work with that. Or be 
enabled with Alexa.



However, my concern is the Apps that go along with a lot of these bulbs, 
or any other device. Such as, smart plugs. I am concerned about making a 
purchase. Then having to download an App that won't be accessible to me. 
I would need to be able to use the App with my iPhone 12 Mini.



Does anyone have some thoughts, or suggestions?

I would really appreciate some feedback.


Thank you,


Terri

Regarding Your Fire TV, and the current upgrade

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello Merv,


This is Terri. I wanted to contact you and ask a question, regarding 
something you had said in a message to the iPhone list.



You had mentioned an upgrade to your Fire TV, that allows you to now 
stream from an Apple device.


Is this correct? Did I understand this correctly?

If so, how does this work?


I was really hoping at some point, this would become possible. But I 
really didn't think it would. Anything you can tell me would be much 
appreciated.



Thank you,

Problems with the Walmart App

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


As many of you probably know, a while back a major update was done to 
the Walmart App. I think some of the changes were good.


However, as with most things, some were not. In some ways, I now find 
the App a bit more difficult to use.



For instance, when I would be ordering groceries, I sometimes like to 
click on a particular item, and read the details on it. Or especially 
read the nutrition information.


However, I can no longer seem to be able to do this. I think I may know 
why, thanks to something a friend told me.



Apparently, instead of having tabs that I could view, to see either the 
details, or nutrition facts, it is all now photos. Of course, this isn't 
at all helpful if you are totally blind.



So is there possibly anything I can do about this?

I am not one to complain to a company, really. I haven't ever reached 
out to a developer about their App. I don't know really how to begin to 
express why this is a problem, in a way that might be helpful.



Is this something that I possibly should do?

If so, what are some ways I should go about it?

I would really like to hear from some of you who have a lot more 
experience with this.



Also, if I don't reach out regarding the App, is there possibly a way to 
view the information that might be in any of the product photos? Some 
way that won't be complicated, and add a bunch more steps, to just 
trying to get groceries ordered?



Any thoughts, and help is much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Looking for an App to record audio of a concert

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I was wondering, can anyone tell me of some good Apps that I might be 
able to use, to be able to record the audio of a concert?


I only want this for myself, and for my own memories. But I would like 
the sound quality to be as decent as possible. Of course, I won't know 
what sorts of noise will be happening around me. Or just how far I will 
be from the stage.



But any thoughts or suggestions on Apps for the iPhone, that I could 
use, would be very much appreciated. It doesn't matter if they are free, 
or there is a cost. Also, I have an iPhone 12 Mini, that is up to date. 
I wasn't sure if this mattered or not. But I thought I would throw it 
out there, just in case.



Thank you,


Terri

Question about Apple watch, series 7

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


So I am wanting to upgrade my watch. I currently have a series 5. I am 
interested in the series 6.



However, when I was looking on the Apple store, the series 7 seems 
cheaper. I don't know why this is the case. But if this is accurate, 
thththen I will likely upgrade to the series 7.



So here is my question.

Are the series 7 watches only 41 MM, or 45 MM cases?

I have a 40 MM case now, and I would like to stick with this, if at all 
possible. Only, because I have the Melanese loop band.



Any thoughts, or suggestions are much appreciated.


Thank you,

Removing an Echo Dot, from within the Alexa App

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I need to remove one of my Echo Dots. I don't want to de-register it. I 
just need to remove it from my device list. We aren't using it any longer.



I googled instructions on how to do this. I am supposed to be able to 
use the Alexa App, go into settings, all devices, and then go to the 
device I want to remove. There is supposed to be a delete button. Well 
it states, trash can.



However, I can't find a way to remove this Dot.

Has anyone tried this before?

If so, what kind of luck did you have?


I think maybe this button isn't accessible, or just doesn't even show up.


Can anyone possibly offer any help?


Thank you,


Terri

What is screen recognition

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I noticed a while back, that under my settings, and voiceover, that 
there is a setting for screen recognition.



What exactly is this?

How does it work?

And how can it come in handy?


I turned it on, and I chose a few Apps for it to work with. But that's 
as far as I got. I realized I didn't really know how it could help.



Anything anyone can share would be much appreciated.


Thank you,

Re: prime video channels

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


First of all, Prime Video is definitely a part of Amazon. As to whether 
or not you can subscribe to Prime Video channels without having Amazon 
Prime, I can't speak to that. I pay for Amazon Prime. So I have Prime 
Video. And I have a few different monthly subscriptions for some of the 
Prime Video channels. I find the channels that I am subscribed to, more 
accessible than the actual Apps. So this is why I have chosen to go this 
route.


I wouldn't think though that you could use Prime Video, or the Prime 
Video channels without purchasing an Amazon Prime subscription. 
Something tells me that Amazon wouldn't be that giving. LOL!



I do have one question though.


Does anyone know if you can receive audio description when using some of 
the Prime Video channels?


For instance, one of the channels I am subscribed to is, Paramount Plus. 
The App is a pain! Both on my iPhone, and on my Fire TV. But the 
Paramount Plus channel is much easier to deal with.



I can't figure out though if I can access the audio description for some 
of the shows through Paramount Plus, that I know offer this.


So does anyone else know?


Thank you,


Terri

What does its mean?

How can I be sure that there programs are audio described?  For

Side note, how can I find on prime video things – mainly tv shows – 
that have audio description?


Thanks,

Looking for color identifier Apps

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


Can any of you recommend an easy to use, but pretty accurate, color 
identifier App?


I don't mind purchasing an App. As long as it is quite accessible. Also, 
I am not the best at being able to use my camera. So something pretty 
simple, or with some guidance would be great.



I am looking for an App that can identify lots of differing colors, and 
shades. If such a thing is possible.



Any help is much appreciated. Please tell me some things you like about 
this app. And how accurate you think it is. And if it is something that 
you use regularly.



Thank you,

Doordash App

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello again everyone,


This is for you all that might use the Doordash App.


Have you all noticed that for a while now, the App doesn't seem as 
accessible?


Not that it was ever 100 percent accessible. But I feel it used to be 
much better. I can't seem to scroll through the list of restaurants 
anymore. It seems as though the App keeps refreshing or something. It is 
very annoying! We use this App sometimes several times a month. So it 
makes it a problem when I struggle to use it.



I have also noticed that I struggle to add items to the cart, when I am 
trying to work with previous orders we have placed.


However, I have gotten this to work a few times.


What has been your experiences with the App lately?

And are there possible work arounds I am not aware of.

I do use the search feature, when I know exactly what restaurant we want 
to order from.



Thank you,


Terri

Considering purchasing an iPad

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I am considering purchasing an iPad. I am trying to decide it is really 
what I want to do. I had an iPad Mini, several years ago. I can do a lot 
on my phone, and I use it all the time.


However, sometimes I don't want to have to use my phone all the time. I 
still enjoy using my laptop. So I am just trying to decide what I should do.



My first question is this.

When using the iPad, is the screen still set up in columns?

If so, is there still not a way to turn this off?

That was one of my biggest complaints with the iPad before.


Also, are there bluetooth keyboard cases out now, for the iPad Mini?

If I do decide to make this purchase, I will likely go with the Mini.


Thank you,


Terri

Interesting discovery with Voiceover, and the Alex voice

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I have the iPhone 12 mini. I have had it for a few months now. I love 
it! Before I got it, I was using the 10 XR.



Anyway, I have noticed something odd. I can't say for certain when I 
first noticed it. And I am also not quite sure if it is somehow my 
phone, or the Voiceover voice of Alex.



But I have noticed that some words sound odd to me. I can't think of any 
examples at the moment. And for this I do apologize. It seems though 
that letters sound as though they are dropped. Or that the word is not 
written correctly. Now I do tend to mis-spell a good deal, and I have to 
go back and correct stuff.


However, the other day i was sending a text with a word in it that ended 
in the letters E, D. I can't remember what the word was now, or I would 
have just written it. But when I read my text back to make sure it was 
correct, I had to view the word character by character, to make sure it 
was correct.


It was. But Alex spoke it as though the d wasn't there.


Has anyone else experienced this?

Does it happen with other voices?


I have tried other voices in the past. But I always come back to Alex. 
It used to seem clearer to me.



What do you all think?


Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Removing downloaded voices

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I downloaded some Voiceover voices to try them out.

However, I didn't like a couple of them.


So is it possible to remove them? And if so, how?

I don't want them taking up space on my phone.


Thank you,


Terri

2 separate questions regarding Voicedream

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I have 2 separate questions regarding Voicedream.


First of all, I currently have Voicedream Reader. As well as, Voicedream 
scanner.


For now, can I use both of these Apps separately?

Does anyone know if eventually this will not be the case?

And if so, would I then have to purchase a pack with both reader, and 
scanner together?



My other question is this.


I use reader for different things. But mainly I use it for reading my 
audiobooks.


I have noticed in the last week, that sometimes when I start my book 
playing, it will stop playing if I lock the screen. One of the things I 
like about reader, is that I can lock the screen. There are times I 
still can. But lately more times than not, I have to leave my phone 
unlocked.



Has anyone else been experiencing this?

Is it new? And is this something I am likely going to have to put up with?

I thought I would ask. I am hoping it's just something strange with my 
phone. Although, I highly doubt it.



Thank you,


Terri

Connecting my TV App with my other Apps

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I wasn't quite sure how to make this subject. So I hope it makes sense. 
If not, please feel free to ask questions.



First of all, I currently have Apple TV free for the year. I got it when 
I got my new phone a few months back. I don't know if knowing this is 
helpful, or not. So I thought I would include it.



Anyway, I was viewing the TV App on my iPhone the other day. I can see 
under my account, that I have connected Apps. Such as, Hulu.



What I would like to know is, how can I make sure all of my TV related 
Apps show up there?


Is it possible to somehow link them with the TV App, if they don't show 
up already?


Also, are there Apps that won't show up?

Such as, Netflix?


Any help understanding this would be very much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

watch screen protection

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I got my Apple watch back in June. I have the series 5 model. It's the 
40 MM model.



Not long after I received it, I got a case for it. Well, I guess you 
could call it that. It snaps over the face of the watch. It covers the 
screen, as well as the sides of the watch. But the crown and side button 
are accessible, and are not covered.



Well a couple of months ago, I discovered a crack in this thing. I knew 
I needed to replace it. So I started doing some research. I think I even 
may have asked here. But I couldn't remember.



I found an autterbox case. So I purchased it.

However, it doesn't have a screen protector. Also, I can't tell if I put 
it on over the face like this other cover went on. Or if I have to 
remove the watch band first.



I am thinking I want to keep the autterbox case. But I want a screen 
protector as well. I just don't have a clue as to what to look for.



Does anyone have any thoughts on this?


Thank you,


Terri

Logging in to the cloud, on my watch

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


Due to me messing with the Apple ID and such for my account, I have ran 
in to a problem. I am not quite sure how to fix this.



My watch is wanting me to log back in to the cloud. However, I am unable 
to do this. I see where I can enter the password. But from what I can 
tell, there is no way to enter the password. At least, not from the watch.


When I first tried to log in, I saw that a keyboard had popped up on my 
phone. So I went to put in the password.


But I guess I moved my finger up to far on the screen, because then that 
keyboard was gone. Now it doesn't come up, if I try to log in to the 
cloud, from the watch.



So does anyone know what I can do, in order to take care of this?


Thank you,


Terri

Changing my Apple ID

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I was wondering, is it possible to change my Apple ID?

I looked in the settings and saw where all my acount settings were. Such 
as, my ID, email addresses, payment information, and other things. I 
tried to see if I could edit the ID. But if I could, then I just 
couldn't figure it out.



What do you all think? Is this possible?

And if so, what might I need to be aware of, if I do this?


Thank you,

Re: Questions regarding Apple TV

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello Reggie, and list,


Thank you for answering my questions. I really appreciate this.

However, this has lead to a few more questions. So I really hope someone 
might have some thoughts.



Ok, let's say that I decide to purchase HBO Max. But I don't want to 
have to use the App directly. But I know I have to have it installed.



If within the Apple TV App, can I search , and watch the content that is 
offered through HBO Max?



Also, would I need to sign up for HBO Max with my Apple ID, in order for 
all of this content to show up through Apple TV?



I am probably still a bit confused here. So any help is grately appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Terry, Yes, you have to have the apps for the programs you want to watch. Apple 
TV Plus I have watched right from the app, but everything else I watch from 
apple TV app but have the app for the network or whatever I am watching. The 
other thing about streaming is that every app except those you purchase on a 
subscription have to reside on your cable or app such as sling, spectrum app, 
youtube TV, etc. Now if I am incorrect on any of this please correct me 
everyone. Streaming is relatively new to me. When I ask for a show in the Apple 
Tv app it takes me to the show.

Changing speaking rate of voiceover voice

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I was wondering, is it possible to change the speaking rate of the 
voiceover voice, to increments of 5?


Right now, I have the Alex voice set to 60. But that's a bit too slow 
for me.



However, 70 is just a bit too fast. So I would like to set it at 65, if 
at all possible. But I wasn't sure how to do this. I tried, but it only 
seems to move in 10's.



Any help is much appreciated.


Thank you,

Unlocking the iPhone 12 Mini

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I just recently purchased the iPhone 12 Mini. I absolutely love it. I 
love how small it is. I love how quickly it seems to respond. I like how 
light it is. Although, that is taking some getting used to.



However, I am having a really tough time unlocking the phone. I'm not 
really sure why this is. I never had problems like this with my XR. I am 
thinking I just have to get used to the screen. But that's just a guess.



Can anyone please give me suggestions on how to unlock my phone?

If I have a notification showing on the lock screen, like a text, I can 
just view the text. So then the phone is unlocked. But of course, I 
never know when that's a possibility.



So this is frustrating!

Can anyone possibly help?


By the way, I am not using a pass code, or anything like that.


Thank you,


Terri

Differences between watch face, and home of the watch

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


This might seem like a silly question. But I am trying to comprehend 
some things. I am trying to get better at understanding my watch, and 
all the things I can do with it.



Ok, so I know I have the watch face. And I understand that there are 
different watch faces I can have, with different complications on them.



So here is where I am a bit confused.


What is the difference between the watch face, and the home screen?


Now I know when I go to the home screen that I can see all my Apps. Well 
several of them. And I can of course access them.



So is the watch face there just so you can see different things? Such as 
the time, and your calendar, and so forth?


How can having several complications set up, come in handy?


I know this all might seem simple for most. And it is. I get the idea to 
a point. I guess just somehow I am a bit confused. So any help is much 
appreciated.



Thank you,


Terri

Re: What exactly is a widget?

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


Thank you to all who responded to my questions. I really appreciate the 
help. This has helped me to understand more what wigits are, and how 
they work.


I don't plan to use them. I don't have any vision at all. While I can 
see how they would be helpful for some people, I think they would just 
frustrate me.



Also, what I was calling my main home screen, is the today screen. I 
wasn't realizing that's what it was. So I was saying my main home screen.



On the today screen, I can see several different wigits. I think one is 
for maps. But one is for my battery status.


I was wondering, can I remove wigits? Is this possible?

Or can I somehow make my today screen look differently, still showing 
what I need, but without wigits?



Thank you all again for the help. This list really is a big help to me. 
I do try to Google stuff at times. But as much as I know it can be 
frustrating for some, it's easier just to ask here, and get responses 
from others.



Thank you,


Terri

A widget is something you can place on your home page that will display some 
information to you without opening the app. You could see the forecast for the 
day with a weather app, or the newest podcast that's shown up with the widget 
for your podcast app. Tapping on an widget can also behave differently then 
tapping on an app.

All of the widgets I've tried have worked well with VoiceOver. Widgets aren't 
as convenient for a blind person as they are for a sighted person, since you 
still need to touch the screen and give a widget focus to see what it's telling 
you, as opposed to a sighted person, who just has to glance at their screen to 
get that information. I still find some widgets useful, but not as many as I do 
on Android, where widgets seem a bit more mature to me, and you seem to have so 
many more choices. Whether you'll find any widgets useful or not, especially on 
one of your home pages, is something that only you'll be able to decide for 
yourself.

In IOS 14, you have the option to add a widget to any home screen. They seem to 
always take up a two by two grid, so you have to give up the real estate of 
four app icons for one widget. The today screen, which is the screen to the 
left of your first home page, has always been made up of widgets. The 
difference in IOS 14 is that you can now place widgets on any home page. I 
suspect that what you're calling your main home page is the today screen.

Re: What do you like about your apple watches?

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello there,


I love mine! I'm still figuring it out, as I have only had it for a few 
months now. I have the series 5. I didn't realize there was even an SE 
version, until reading this thread.



I would have to agree with others, in regards to the battery life. I 
think it could be much better. I have to charge the watch every day. I 
tend to do this in the middle of the day, or early evening. This way I 
can wear the watch to bed.



I use the watch to track my exercise. It's been very helpful for me in 
this way. I also use it to help track my sleep. I've been diagnosed with 
non-24. So knowing how much sleep I get, really helps. Even if it's more 
of an estimate.



It took me a while to get used to the feeling of having a watch on my 
arm. Also, it took me some getting used to the band. Eventually, I do 
plan to purchase a different band. I think I finally found one I would 
like more than the one that came with my watch.



Also, I recommend purchasing a good protective cover for your watch. I 
have heard that the face can get scratched easily. I purchased a 
protective cover for mine, as soon as I got it.


However, I purchased a cheap one, and it now has a couple of small 
cracks along the edge. So I am in the process of replacing it.



I think you will really enjoy having a watch. Sometimes I find it easier 
to check messages on my watch. As well as respond back to them. And when 
I am by myself, I will take a call on the watch. It's nice to be hands-free.



I hope this helps you in making your decision. If you do decide to get a 
watch, I really hope you enjoy it.



Terri

Wondering, is this problem my phone, or my provider

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I have a rather anoying problem that happens pretty regularly. I would 
really appreciate some opinions on it, if at all possible.



First of all, my service is with T-Mobile. I have had service with them 
for about 3 years now. I like them pretty well. Although, I do wish my 
bill were a bit cheaper. But for everything that I have, including an 
Apple 5 series watch, I really can't complain.



However, my very anoying problem is this.

I live in a townhouse. So our 2 bedrooms are upstairs. Sometimes when up 
here, I miss calls. I miss them completely. They don't register on my 
phone, or my watch. I don't know that I've even missed a call, unless 
all of a sudden I realize I have a voicemail.



Now, downstairs, in our living room where the router is, we have a 
T-Mobile tower. Maybe that's not the proper name for it. I got it when I 
first got T-Mobile, because in that apartment I had absolutely no signal 
at all. This tower is newer. They just recently replaced it a few months 
back, because the one I had just died one day.



If for some reason I am not connected up to the tower, downstairs I have 
2 bars of cell signal. When connected, which is the majority of the 
time, I have 4 bars. Also, when connected and upstairs, I have 3, to 4 
bars. With my wireless internet, I have 2, to 3 bars. I don't know if 
that matters or not. But I thought I would add this anyway.



I currently have the iPhone XR.

So why is this happening?

Is my signal somehow not good enough?

And is this my iPhone, or the tower?

Or may I not ever really know where the problem lies?


I can't stand having this problem. But I don't know if there's anything 
I can do about it. I spend a lot of time upstairs, because the computer 
room is up here. I don't have an option to move things around. 
Otherwise, we would have wired connections up here.



Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Does anyone know?

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I was wondering, does anyone know if they make an Otterbox case for the 
series 5 watch, for a 42 MM?


I would think that they would. But if they do, I can't seem to find one. 
However, maybe a different sized model works with the 42 MM?



Any help is much appreciated.

Watch face has changed

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


It seems as though my watch face has changed. I think I am stating this 
correctly. I am still in the process of learning how my apple watch works.



But a couple of days ago I noticed things had changed. I didn't know if 
part of this was due to the update, or not. Now on the screen it shows 
my position on earth, the position of the sun, a different time zone, 
the date, and a couple different other things. Before it just showed the 
time, my rings, and a couple other things. I think it was something to 
do with the weather.



Anyway, why did this change?

And how do I fix it?

What other options are available?


Any help is much appreciated. I understand my phone quite well. This 
watch still manages to surprise me at times. But then again, I haven't 
had it all that long, either.



Thank you,


Terri

Problem when answering calls while in other Apps

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


First of all, if this has already been discussed, I do apologize for 
bringing it up again. I don't read a lot of the mail that comes to the 
list, due to the amount of mail I receive on a daily basis.



However, I have a problem I hope some of you might be able to help me 
figure out. I recently updated to 14. Then when the smaller update was 
released, I updated to that. I really haven't experienced too many 
problems. I have noticed some sluggishness with Voiceover. But that's 
been the biggest thing for me.



I've noticed that now when I get a call while within an App, the whole 
screen is not taken up by the call screen. I've discovered how to answer 
a call when this happens.



But my problem is this.

So when I want to end a call I did accept, how do I do this? Even though 
I take the call, I still seem to be within the App I was in. Or I will 
be on my homescreen.


The other day when I took a call, I happened to be texting. So then once 
I was on my call, then I heard my text being read to me. That was 
anoying, and distracting. It was difficult to hear the person on my call.



So how can I prevent something like this from happening again?

Is this even possible?


Rather than that, I am pretty happy with the latest update. Although, I 
don't personally care for all the wigits. But that's just me, and for 
another post.



Any help is much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Using the Kindle App on my iPhone

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I was wondering, how accessible is the Kindle App?

I want to use it on my iPhone. I have installed it, and tried it. 
Although, I haven't messed with it much.


Can I only use whatever the current voiceover voice is set at? Or can I 
somehow change the voice that reads within the App?


I would think not. But I thought I would ask anyway.


Also, while reading, is there a way I could lock the screen, and still 
have it read?



Any help is much appreciated.

Beeping sound when swiping across screen

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I haven't updated to the latest version of IOS. But I plan to do this soon.


However, a friend of mine has. He's dealing with something odd, and he 
isn't sure why it's happening, or what to do about it. So I thought I 
would ask here, and see if any of you have any thoughts.



He says that when he swipes across the screen, he hears a beeping sound.

What is this?

And is there a way to stop it?


This is all the information I have. So if you all need to know more, 
please just let me know. I can ask my friend for more details.



Thank you, and help is much appreciated.

Working out with the Apple watch

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I just have a quick question I am hoping someone can help me with.


I want to track my calories burned, and the distance, when I work out 
with my Apple watch. I am using an exercise bike. I see in the work out 
section, that there is an indoor cycling option.



Could I use this option too track these things?

If so, once I start a work out, how do I end it?


Any help is much appreciated.

correcting a text mesage on the watch

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


Is it possible to correct a text message, when sending it from the watch?

If so, what would I need to do?


I like to read, and dictate texts from my watch. It seems easier to 
dictate a text from the watch. I don't know how true this really is. But 
it seems to work better for me, most of the time.


However, it does mess up at times. So this is why I was wondering if I 
could possibly correct the messages. It sure would be nice to be able to 
do this.



Thank you,

More Apple watch questions, yet again

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I have a few more questions, regarding the Apple watch. I try to look 
most things up, or find out on my own. But sometimes I read so much I 
just feel a bit overwhelmed.



Ok first of all, if I were to accidentally leave my phone at home, when 
I go out, can I still access the watch? Could I still respond to texts, 
and make and answer a call?


Sometimes when I go out, I have a tendency to forget my phone. It 
doesn't happen always. Which is good. But it would be nice to know that 
I could still reach out, if I needed to do so.



Also, is there a way to get the now playing screen to stop coming up on 
my watch?


When I play music over my iPhone, or something within Voicedream, this 
screen keeps popping up.


Is there a way to stop this?


I think this is all for now. Again, any help is appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: more Apple watch questions

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello Simon and list,


Thank you for the information, and your thoughts on this. I appreciate it.


So does the watch protector you have, just protect around the sides of 
your watch, and the very edges of the screen?


I am just trying to understand here.


Also, what happens if you do crack the screen of your watch?

Can those be repaired?


Thank you again for your thoughts, and help.

Thank you to both Wayne, and Siegard, for answering my questions. I really 
appreciate it. It's very helpful to me, because it helps to have an answer to 
look back at.


I am really enjoying my watch. Although, last night while I was out, it did 
something odd. I couldn't figure out what it was. I wasn't even messing with 
the watch. This weird message just came up on it's own. I'm not even quite sure 
what it was saying. Something about quickboard, maybe? I honestly don't know.


But what I am wondering is, can I get a screen protector for my watch?

Do they work well?

And if they do exist, are there just 1 type available?

I mean, I don't really know how 1 screen protector could be much different from 
another 1. But I just don't want to assume anything. I'd like to have a screen 
protector though. I am concerned I might scratch up my watch. Or possibly hit 
it on something.


Thank you,


Terri

Hello Terri. Sure, here's some answers. Crown up simply refers to
turning your hand so your wrist is facing up. The vibrations you are
feeling are because the watch is trying to vibrate the time to you. If
you do a double tap on the watch, it will vibrate the whole time with
hours and minutes, and a triple tap will vibrate the minutes only. A
long vibration represents 10 and short vibrations are one. So the time
12:05 would be a long, 2 shorts, and a pause and then 5 shorts.
Finally, if the watch face does not appear, you can always press the
digital crown to bring it up.

Hope this helps,
Wayne

I got my watch

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


First of all, thank you to those of you who responded to my questions 
about the Apple watch. I really appreciate the help and recommendations 
that were offered.



Well, I got my watch. I received it yesterday. I got the 40 MM model. 
It's the 5 gen. I really am enjoying figuring it out. I've been reading 
stuff on Apple Vis, and listening to some podcasts. I've also just 
messed with some stuff on my own, and have been doing some exploring. 
I've still got a long way to go with it. But so far, I love it.



I do have a couple of questions though. I can probably find the answers 
on my own.


However, I've been reading a lot.


First of all, how do I find out who is in my friends list?

From what I understand, it uses your first 12 favorites that are in 
your iPhone. Although, I am pretty sure I don't have that many. I 
thought that I just needed to press the button next to the crown.



However, I have pressed this button once, and then 2 times in a row. But 
it never goes into a friends list. When I press it 2 times quickly, it 
tells me that I can add a card for Apple pay.



What am I doing wrong?

Or is this different with the 5th gen?

I know that some people state that the content on Apple Vis is out of 
date. Maybe so. I can't say for sure, because I don't know enough about 
the Apple watch.



Also, sometimes when I am replying to a text, when I am done dictating, 
I somehow end up out of the messaging App. This has happened a couple of 
times. So it seems then that I then have to dictate the message again?


Why is this? And why might this sometimes happen.


Also, is there a way to increase the length of the time the watch stays 
awake?



And last question.

Can I possibly change the ring tone, and the message tone? Or the voices 
that are used?



Any help is very much appreciated. I hope to enjoy my watch for a rather 
long time.



Thank you,


Terri

Re: How accessible is an Apple watch

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


Thank you to those who have responded to my questions about the Apple 
watch. I really appreciate it. For some reason, I wasn't expecting much 
of a response. Or I thought you all would say it wasn't all that 
accessible. I am glad I was wrong on this.



My main reasons for wanting to possibly get one, is so that I can track 
my activities, and my sleep. I am wanting to start exercising a bit more 
than I do. I think it would be very beneficial to me to possibly have a 
watch.


Also, I don't always sleep well. So being able to track this better, and 
easier, would really come in handy.



I almost always have my phone with me though. So I don't know if I can 
justify making a purchase like this.



As for the sleep tracking, does the watch somehow do this on it's own? 
Somehow keep up with your sleep?


Or do you just have an App on your watch and phone, and you have to 
enter in all the information yourself.



Also, what are some of the ways the watch tracks your activity?

If I were riding an exercise bike, would it be able to possibly help me 
to know how fast I was going, and how many calories I burned? Or would I 
need an App to help me to do this?



Also, how do you all respond to notifications, and text messages?

How can it be easier to respond to texts messages from the watch? Or how 
can it be easier to read notifications?



I would assume that the watch has to be charged every so often?

If so, how does this work?

Also, someone mentioned only having 2 faces.

What does this mean?

Why would you possibly want different faces?


Sorry for all of the questions. I know there are a lot here. I hope you 
all won't mind. I am fascinated though, and would really love to know more.



Thank you,


Terri

Hi everyone,
Hope all of you are doing well. I too have the same questions as I do not own 
an apple watch. However, I am looking into purchasing it in the future. I was 
going to purchase one, but unfortunately, the pandemic hit so I am unable to 
try one  on for myself. Also, I have an added challenge because I have small 
wrists since I am very petite. Does the Apple Watch fit small wrists?
Also, did you buy the EarPods when you got the Apple Watch in order to hear the 
VoiceOver on the Apple Watch while in crowded settings?
How are you able to hear VoiceOver through the Apple Watch if you don’t own 
EarPods in noisy environments?
Can the Apple Watch serve as a suplemental mobility aid for navigation in 
addition to other tools like a cane or service dog?
What were the primary reasons for purchasing the Apple Watch?
For those of you who are totally blind, what are the most important uses for 
your Apple Watch?


Hope this helps.
Stay safe  and take care,

Priscilla

difference between apple care, and apple care plus

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I didn't realize until yesterday that there is Apple care, and Apple 
care plus. A friend pointed this out to me. We were talking about when 
my Apple care was ending, and if I could somehow renew it.



So does anyone know what the differences are between Apple care, and 
Apple care plus?



Also, I have T-mobile, I pay for Apple care through them.

However, it ends this coming December.

Can I renew it? Or is this not possible?


Thank you,

question regarding phone holders

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I wasn't quite sure how to make the subject line. So it might be a bit 
mis-leading. If so, I do apologize.



I have an iPhone XR. I love it.

However, it's a bit wide for my hand. So after about 20, to 30 minutes 
of holding the phone in my hand, my hand starts to cramp. Or a few of my 
fingers will fall asleep. It's rather anoying.


I have an ear piece. I do use it, when I remember to charge it. LOL!


But what I was wondering is, do they make something I could put on my 
phone, to possibly make it more comfortable to hold?


I don't know if anything like this exists. But I just thought I would 
reach out and see what people think. I don't have a thick case on my 
phone. I can't think of the brand of the case at the moment. But I 
purchased it at the T-Mobile store. It just goes on the back of my 
phone. Then I have a screen protector on the front.



Any thoughts are much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Keeping a recorded Imessage

[Terri Stimmel]

hello everyone,


I was wondering something.

When someone records you an iMessage, why can you sometimes keep them?

But then other times you can't? It's as though the option isn't even there.

Why might this happen?

Also, when you are able to keep them, where are they saved at?


I have been wanting to ask these questions for a while now. When I saw 
someone else here asked about saving audio in a message, it reminded me 
that I wanted to ask this.



Any help would be wonderful.

Re: More Ring doorbell questions
Hello Holly and list,

Thank you for this. I do appreciate it.

I can see where to go to add a user. I can see where to enter the email 
address.


However, I can't seem to be able to invite them. I can see that I can 
allow them to have access to the door.


Strange! I might have to get a bit of sighted help. But I plan to keep 
messing with it.


Also, when I answer the door with my phone, it's just a call, correct? 
It's not a video feed?


Thank you,

Terri

More Ring doorbell questions

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


First of all, thank you for all the help, regarding my ring doorbell 
questions. I really appreciate the support. I have a few more questions, 
and hope you all don't mind.



First of all, we got our Ring installed today. It went well. Although, 
there was a delay in getting the package. But Amazon was great, and took 
care of it right away.



First of all, does anyone know what Ring Chime pro is?

What might be the benefits of having this?


Also, has anyone else noticed that when you check the live feed, when 
using your iPhone, that you can tend to lose speach?


Has anyone else noticed anything like this? I have had it happen to me a 
couple times now.



Also, how do I add a shared user?

I'd like to add my boyfriend, as he lives with me. But when I tried to 
do it, not all the buttons seemed labeled. Actually, I wasn't even sure 
I saw all the buttons.


So has anyone else had experience adding a user? If so, how did you go 
about it?



Any help is much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: Ring Door Bell

[Terri Stimmel]

Re: Ring Door Bell
Hello everyone,

Thank you so much to Cristoble, Holly, and robin for offering their 
knowledge regarding the ring doorbell and how it works. I really 
appreciate it. I have
read all the responses from others who had some questions as well. I 
didn't respond right away, because my boyfriend and I were getting 
settled in to our

new place. It's certainly been an adventure.

We talked with our landlord and he doesn't have an issue at all with us 
getting a ring. I was concerned about this, due to us renting. But he 
even said

he would be glad to install it for us. So I am very grateful.

I plan to purchase the ring 2, sense I can get the rechargeable battery. 
Also, while I will use the ring with my iPhone, I am very happy to know 
that I
can use it with my echo dot as well. I was willing to purchase an echo 
show if I needed to do so. But glad this isn't the case.


Thanks again for all the help, and thoughts. It's very appreciated.

Terri

You can talk to whoever is at your door via the app and review your 
history of alerts.
Something you may want to consider and if I had to do it over again, I'd 
probably opt for the Nest Doorbell is that with the Nest, I believe 
there's facial
recognition. I know there's a big uproar with privacy issues and big 
brother and all, but being blind, being able to tag people I think would 
be super
useful. Right now with the ring, it's just the motion sensor alert. In 
my case, my wife is sighted so it's not really an issue, but if you're 
by yourself
or don't have a pare of working eyeballs always available, this might be 
something to give serious consideration to.

Hello everyone,

Who here uses the ring door bell App?

How accessible is it with an iPhone?

What are some things you like about it?

And what are some things you dislike about it?

Are you able to speak to the person at your door, without having to 
actually open the door?


Also, is this system wired in to your home?

I am possibly considering getting this. But I want to learn more about 
it first.


Thank you,

Bookshare books and Voicedream

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,

I use Bookshare, as well as Voicedream. I really enjoy both of them a 
lot. I will usually open Voicedream, go to Bookshare on there, as I have 
the 2 linked.
Then I find a book I want and send it over so that I can then read it 
with Voicedream.


However, I was wondering, if I do it this way, will the Bookshare 
website still keep track of what I downloaded?


If so, could I then put these books somewhere on my computer?

I tend to like to keep the books I read. Especially if I really enjoy them.

Thank you,

Terri

Can I possibly use 2 different bluetooth headsets?

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,

I have 2 bluetooth headsets that I really like. They are from a company 
called Letscom. I purchased them from Amazon.


1 of them I have, I use specificly for my phone.

But I was wondering, if I needed to use the other pair with my phone, 
could I?


They are the same brand. The 2 pairs were bought a few months apart from 
each other.


But if I do end up using the 2nd pair with my phone, do I just have to 
unpair the set I usually use?


I hope this makes some sense?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you,

Terri

Looking at Marketplace with the Facebook App

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


Does anyone here use Market place, with the Facebook App?

If so, how do you see the whole ad?


For instance, I am trying to look at housing rentals, on market place. I 
can read the description, sort of. I start reading 1, and part-way 
through it, there is a read more option.


However, this isn't a link. I can't seem to enter on it, and activate it.


Does anyone here know what I am talking about?

If so, is there a way to possibly get around this, so that I can view 
the whole ad?



Thank you,


Terri

Eat this much App

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering, has anyone here used the, Eat This Much App?
If so, do you have any tips for using it?

I installed it about a month ago, or so. I really like the concept of it.

However, I feel it could be more accessible. I have a difficult time figuring 
out some of the buttons. Also, I can’t seem to figure out how to go from 
setting what I ate for breakfast, to setting what I had for lunch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Questions regarding audio game hub 2

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,

I just recently installed the Audio game hub, 2, App on my phone. I think I may 
have installed it before, quite a while back. But back then I wasn’t as 
interested in it as I am now.

Anyway, I have been attempting to play 2 different games I found there, memory, 
and blocks. I enjoy them both.

However, I don’t really get how to see all of what is on the screen. Or maybe 
it is the layout of the screen I am not getting? I am not exactly sure.

With the memory game, you start out with so many boxes. Lets say, 6. You have 
to find the matching boxes, which contain animals.
However, I sometimes just can’t figure out how all the boxes are supposedly 
layed out. It’s frustrating me.

Does anyone else use this App?
If so, what kind of luck have you had with the games?
I have read tutorials for both games. I understand how to play. I just don’t 
understand how to see all the boxes, or get back and forth between them.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Terri

Re: Odd problem between dropbox, my iPhone, and streaming

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello Joshua and list,

I tried to listen to the file that I was having trouble with, using voice 
dream. The file seemed just fine. It blade straight through, with no problems. 
So thank you for recommending this. I do appreciate it.
I was wondering though, why would I want to zip a single MP3 file, when putting 
it into dropbox? Is there a reason for this? Why couldn’t I just leave the MP3 
as it is? I could see the reason  to zip up a whole show.

Thanks again,

Terri

Hello Joshua,

Thank you for the response. I appreciate it.

However, I am curious about something. Why do you not recommend listening to 
MP3 files, using Dropbox?
I do have voice dream. I love it. I use it to read audiobooks, and e-books, all 
the time. I never thought about playing other files through that app. So this 
could be interesting.

Odd problem between dropbox, my iPhone, and streaming

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,

I have an odd problem that I am hoping someone might be able to help me with. I 
don’t know where exactly this problem lies. So I am not quite sure if this is 
the right place to ask this question. So I have actually asked this on another 
list I am on, as well.

Anyway, about a week and a half ago or so, I was listening to a file on my 
phone, through Dropbox. I do this a lot. I put stuff in to a Dropbox folder, 
than just play the file whenever I want to. I don’t know if this would be 
considered streaming, or not.

Well, I have been catching up with the show, Chicago Med. The files are mp3 
files.

So about a week and a half ago, while watching an episode, it all of a sudden 
stopped playing. I went to the play/pause button, and attempted to restart it. 
I did get it to restart. But not a minute later, it happened again. I didn’t 
really have this happen again. So I didn’t think much of it.
At the time this started, we were using Spectrum as our ISP. But now we have 
AT fiber. I don’t know if this makes a difference or not. But I thought I 
would mention it.

Well, over the week I continued to watch episodes of the show. Everything 
seemed fine.

Then 2 nights ago, this all started again. I had problems getting the episode 
to restart. I even tried closing out the Dropbox App, and restarting it. But 
nothing I do seems to make much of a difference. Also, it doesn’t seem to 
matter if the screen is locked or not. I usually keep the screen locked once I 
get an episode started. Now a couple of times, when I would unlock the screen, 
after the episode had stopped, it would continue to play on it’s own. But this 
is not always the case.

I have a 10 X. It is up to date. Dropbox is up to date as well.

What could possibly be going on?
Could this have to do something with my phone and Dropbox?
I would figure it isn’t my ISP, sense this happened while using Spectrum. At 
the time both these events have happened, it was in the middle of the night, or 
early morning. There wasn’t any other streaming, or downloading going on.

Any help or thoughts would be very much appreciated. I just can’t figure this 
out. I don’t know how to fix it if possible. It is definitely rather annoying.

Thank you,

Terri

Interesting situation with Facebook, when joining a group

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


recently, I have joined 2 new Facebook groups. I have discovered that 
once I am approved to the groups, that I can not seem to post. At least, 
not from the Facebook App. I have looked and looked at the group. But I 
can't find an area to make my posting.


However, if I use my laptop, go to Facebook, then the new group, I can 
then post. Once this is done, I can then post from my phone just fine.


Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

If so, what could be going on?

And is there possibly anything I can do about it?


Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated. I don't tend to join 
many groups. But I find this both interesting and frustrating. I usually 
just use Facebook on my iPhone. I prefer it this way. For me, it is much 
easier to manage.


Thank you,


Terri

Water Minder App

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I was wondering, does anyone here know if the water minder App is 
accessible?

If so, about how accessible might it be?


I believe you have to purchase this App. I want it. But I don't want to 
purchase it, if it is not accessible. I did look on Apple Vis to see if 
it had been reviewed. I couldn't find it there.


Any help is much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Games for the iPhone

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I know this has been discussed before.


However, I was wondering, are there newer games for the iPhone?

Which ones do you all find, most accessible?

And what are some of your favorites?

Which ones are available free, or possibly as a trial?


I enjoy all sorts of games. I play Dice World all the time. I have Game 
World on my phone. But I don't tend to use this 1 as much. I do also 
have a few of the Blindfold games. 1 I really like, Color Crush. I 
purchased it. I enjoy a couple of their other games as well. But I think 
the purchase price for the games are a bit too high.


I would love to find some accessible card games. As well as word games. 
Maybe other dice games, trivia type games, and just anything else that 
could possibly be interesting.


What do you all think?

Also, I was curious about Trivia Crack.

How accessible is this? And if I were to get it, do I want the original, 
or Trivia Crack 2?


Thank you for any help, or thoughts and suggestions.

Questions regarding connecting a headset

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,

I just recently purchased a bluetooth headset. It is an over the ear set, made 
by a company called, Letscom. I really like them, and am glad I purchased them.
However, I have noticed that when I use them, the voiceover sounds quiet. I 
turned up the volume, using the buttons.

Is this the way I should go about it?
Or should I use the volume buttons on the headset itself?

Also I have noticed that once I go back to using the phone without the headset, 
that my sound volume is lower. For instance, my messaging sounds are lower. And 
when I look at the sound settings, I have to turn the volume back up.

What might be causing this?
And is it normal?

Thank you,

Terri

Voicedream reader, and folders

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I have a quick question about VoiceDream reader, and folders.


First of all, I use this App all the time, and love it! I use it a lot 
for importing my audiobooks from Dropbox, in to the App. This way if the 
files are not unzipped, I can still enjoy them.


However, a lot of my files are unzipped. Some are even in folders. I've 
noticed twice now when I have imported a file, that I have had problems. 
I kept getting a folder empty message.


So I ended up uploading all 8 files of the book, individually. Then I 
created a folder within Voicedream. I can see all the files, but they 
are all listed with my other files. I can't seem to see the folder I 
created. And even though I sent the files to the folder, I can't seem to 
figure out if they are in there.


Have I possibly done something wrong?

Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Also, if I have files in a folder, will they play 1 right after the other?


Any help would be wonderful!


Thank you,


Terri

Re: Voicedream scanner questions

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


First of all, thank you to all of you who responded to my questions. I really 
appreciate it.


I have purchased Voicedream scanner. I am now trying to learn how to use it. I 
do have Voicedream reader as well. I love it, and use it all the time.


Thank you again,


Terri

In my opinion, it is the best OCR app you could buy.
My only wish is that it could handle columns.
But, if it is text in paragraph format, it is brilliant.
If you also have Voice Dream Reader, you could put the PDF in it, and then it 
would use Voice Dream Scanner to recognize the document.
I've not tried to open a PDF from the web directly with Voice Dream Scanner 
though if it showed up in the share sheet, that would work.

strange problem within a couple of Apps, phone reads by itself

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I don't exactly know how to explain an odd problem that I have now 
encountered twice.

However, I am hoping that with the bit of information I can give, 
someone might know what I am talking about.


Alright, a few days ago I was on Facebook. I clicked on a video posted 
by the TV show, This Is Us. Before I even got the video playing, the 
text that was on the screen, started reading by itself. I was not even 
trying to read through it. The phone seemed to stutter, and would repeat 
text, cut off, and even start over. I didn't know what to make of it. I 
thought that maybe it was some odd way the layout was set up. So I just 
closed it out.


But then again, on the next day, I went in to 1 of my local TV station 
Apps, to read a news story. The same sort of thing happened. I clicked 
on the story. Before I could even scroll through it on my own, the phone 
attempted to try to read it on it's own. Again, it stuttered badly. It 
kept starting over, or breaking up. It was so odd! But it was also so 
bad that I couldn't read the article.


What could be causing this?

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

The even bigger question is, can I do anythough about it.


Any help would be so very much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Problem when on a call

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I have a problem happening, when on a call. I do not know if I can do 
anything about it. But I am curious to know if anyone else is dealing 
with this.


I just recently updated my 10 XR, to the latest version. While I have 
had some small bugs here and there, it's all gone rather smoothly for me.


However, if I am on a call, and I receive another call, I am no longer 
being alerted to who is calling.


Is anyone else experiencing this?

Is there anything I could do to correct this issue?


I went and made sure that my caller ID setting was still set on always. 
And I also checked 1 other thing. But at the moment, I can't remember 
what it was. Everything was still set the same. So I don't understand 
what is going on.

Is this just a bug I will have to put up with for a while?


Thank you in advance for any thoughts or advice.


Terri

Battery issues after updating to 13

[Terri Stimmel]

hello everyone,

Recently I updated my iPhone 10, Xr two version 13. Everything went well. I 
don’t really seem to have any problems.

However, the biggest thing I have noticed is that my battery seems to drain 
faster. I have always been impressed with the battery life of this phone. But 
since I have done the update, my battery just doesn’t seem to hold up as well 
as it used to do. I don’t know why this is.
Has anyone else noticed problems like this?

As far as I know, nothing has changed with my settings. I do have it on dark 
mode. I don’t have my phone set to automatically lock, because I am picking it 
up so often. I do lock it when I am not using it. But I have always had it set 
this way. So this isn’t a new thing. I believe I do have background app refresh 
on. But again, I have always had this on. So I am not sure what’s going on. 
This is rather frustrating for me.

Usually, I  pick up my phone several times throughout the day, and depending on 
what I am doing of course, by the end of the day without a charge, my phone 
might get down to about 60%. But in the last couple of days, without it having 
a charge throughout the day, my phone has gotten under 60%, by the end of the 
day. Maybe this isn’t as bad of a problem as I think it is. But it definitely 
seems different to me. And I don’t like it.

What do you all think? Is anyone noticing anything similar?

Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated. I want my battery to last me a long 
time if possible, and to work well for me. I depend on my phone pretty much all 
the time. So I need it to hold up.

Thank you,

Terri

Questions regarding the slide to type feature

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I just recently updated my phone. I haven't really discovered any 
problems, for myself. Maybe a few little odd things, here and there.


However, I am very interested to learn more about this new slide to type 
feature.

I was wondering, does this only work if you are using anything but the 
standard way of typing?

If it does work with the standard way of typing, what do I need to do, 
in order to try it out?


I can slide my finger around the keyboard. But if I hold my finger on a 
letter, nothing happens. So I am guessing that this only works with the 
touch typing. The slide to type is on, I checked.


Any thoughts on this are much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Reading Epub books using VoiceDream

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I am attempting to read my first Ebook with VoiceDream. I use VoiceDream 
all the time for audiobooks. So this I feel I am pretty familiar with.


However, I know nothing about how to read an Ebook. I did choose a 
voice, and have it set as my preferred voice.


My only real question at the moment is this.

When I look at my Ebook, it starts reading a few sentences for each chapter.

Is there a way to make the program start at a certain chapter, or the 
prologue of the book?

If so, how the heck do I go about doing this?

Also, what are some advantages for making bookmarks?


I don't even do this with my audiobooks, because I just select play and 
the books start where I left off. So I haven't ever really seen the need.


Any help is appreciated. I am looking forward to really giving this a 
go. Although, it will definitely take some getting used to, as I really 
love audiobooks.


Thank you,


Terri

My iPhone and streaming to my Fire TV

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I am needing some help. I have a question I hope someone might have an 
answer to.


I just recently got a Fire TV. I love it!


Anyway, I want to be able to stream audio from my phone, to the Fire TV. 
I usually put audio described files in to Dropbox, and stream them using 
my bluetooth speaker.


So is what I would like to do, even possible?

Can I somehow use the bluetooth from my phone, to connect to the Fire TV?

Or could I possibly use the Fire TV to connect to my iPhone?

Or would I have to do this some different way entirely?


Any thoughts or suggestions are very much appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

accessible, compact exercise equipment

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I was wondering, is there any sort of accessible, compact exercise 
equipment out there? Something that on't take up too much room, as I 
have limited space. Also, something not too expensive. Maybe not anymore 
than $200, maybe, $250?


I am particularly interested in finding an accessible elliptical machine.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: Questions regarding voice dream reader, and a new problem.

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello Richard, and list,


Thank you for your help. I do appreciate it.


I did look at the book. It is 1 file. I played it for about 5 minutes, 
on my laptop. I did not hear the noise then. So I don't have a clue as 
to what could be going on. I think I will test for a longer period with 
another book.


Thank you again for attempting to help me.


Terri

Re: Questions regarding voice dream reader, and a new problem.

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


Thank you for the responses. I really appreciate it.


Alright, first of all, this is a sound I haven't ever heard before. I 
seem to only hear it within this audiobook.

However, I haven't listened to another audiobook to really check things 
out. But this is not the first audiobook I have read using VoiceDream.


when I go to read, I mute my phone so that I don't receive notification 
sounds. I also lock the screen.


richard, I am not sure if this book is in multiple files. I will need to 
check, in order to know for sure. I am pretty sure that it isn't though.


But with this said, I can not find those settings you mentioned at all. 
I opened the book, and I did find audio settings. But nothing about 
advanced settings. Just an area to adjust the reading speed.

Am I possibly in the wrong area?


Thank you,


Terri

Questions regarding voice dream reader, and a new problem.

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,

Are use voice dream reader all the time, to read audiobooks, and to view other 
files. Eventually, I plan to try to read PDF files, or EPUB files. But I don’t 
know when I might start doing this. Anyway, I have noticed an odd problem with 
Voice Dream reader, in the last few days. I wanted to find out if anyone might 
know what’s causing this. Or if anyone else has experienced it. For instance,  
when I start reading one of my audiobooks, I start getting these chiming sounds 
throughout my reading. The file plays fine. There does not seem to be any other 
problems that I can tell.
However, the chime is usually a single chime, and can be infrequent.  It can 
vary in how often it happens. The chime does change every once in a while. 
Sometimes a double chime will play, almost sounding like a doorbell. 

So I was wondering, is anyone else experiencing anything like this?
Why might this be happening? And what can I do about it?

It’s rather annoying, and if I can stop it from happening I would like to do so.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Terri
