RE: Inaccurate Dictation, only in I-message

[pablocmd2014]

I have an iPhone 10 and I have the same problem. I am very disappointed with 
the dictation feature. It used to be better before.

I also have an iPhone 8 and I am experiencing the same problem. It is also 
adding words to the sentences that I have not spoken. I’m not sure what is 
causing this. I have had an iPhone 5 six and seven and have use cases on all of 
them and have never experienced this before. I have even taken it to the Apple 
store so that they could see if something was going wrong with the speaker and 
according to them the hardware with my phone is great.

Hi guys,

RE: Glasses

[pablocmd2014]

Opinions are diverse. I don’t use none of these apps, because I don’t like some 
of the limitations than a free or pay service has. For example, the paid 
services have bunche of rules that limits the use of the service. For example, 
if I want to use the glasses to drive a motorcycle the AIRA people will decline 
to provide the service because they feel that they could be under some legal 
responsibility. Who define Who define what is risky for a blind person?

, what are the parameters to define that something could put a company on risks 
because the blind user could has an accident?

I know  a guy that runs bycle in London, and other that runs motorcycle in 
South Africa. They cannot use these paid services because the companies decline 
to give the service for some activities.

They use vOICe, that is free and is a lot more challenging than the AIRA 
glasses, but it is free.

Another example, I practice fire arms shooting, also AIRA declined to provide 
the service. They believe that because I am blind I am going to shoot myself, 
or that I am going to shoot someone else. This opinion is very rude about the 
capabilities of blind people. Sighted people are who normally shoot themselves 
or other people.

Why because of my blindness I will shoot myself or someone else?

That is stupid.

But it is the landscape of these services. So if you want to pay that money, 
you will use it for what they believe you should be able to do.Go to buy food, 
walk around, go home, and put water in your plants. Nothing more risky or 
nothing that they could consider risky for them. I don’t know if we are going 
to prepare some Tabule, are they going to feel that you might cut your fingers 
with the knife?

I found a totally better solution. I didn't want to pay for them glasses either 
so I decided to go a better route. I got myself a hat with a mount on the top 
of it that allows me to mount my iphone onto it and use Be My Eyes with a lot 
more better certainty because the camera never moves and it's very stable. Many 
of the volunteers are so eager to help that they don't mind helping you in the 
long sessions as long as you tell them what it's for and why you're doing it. 
Whenever I start a call using Be My Eyes I always say that I'm going to do such 
and such and I need help with it and it's going to take such and such time. 
Most of the time the volunteers are excited to help you and they don't care. I 
think this is a much cheaper option and it looks kind of cool. All of my cited 
friends think it's neat and they're always very impressed at how well I get 
around using this. I also have a pair of bone conducting headphones that allows 
me the ability to hear not only my surrounding area with my ears but here the 
agent on the other end just fine. It's a lot better than paying for $300 a 
month for an unlimited plan for stupid pair of glasses! I think that that 
company is price gouging I'm sorry but it's true and if you want to go ahead 
and be upset I understand but I'm just telling the truth. Every single time a 
company comes out with something that caters to blind people they love price 
gouging us. Well this is my method of fixing the problem and it works just fine 
for me. U2 should give it a try. I hope this helps someone. Take care

Hi,

 

Before looking at Aira, thinking it too expensive and, anyway, not

face-time instead. It was only when I found reference to the Horizon Glasses, 
produced by the Aira people, that I seemed to have found a solution, which made 
me take another look at the Aira service itself. Well, I was so impressed by 
the professionalism of the agents, plus their computer dash-board, which 
exponentially increased their ability to give me quick and relevant 
information, that I thought that Aira might be something I would use and gain 
from. Now, we have it coming to Ireland for a pilot scheme, but we will only be 
using it with our phones, and not the headsets, until it is established, if 
there is enough interest. Now, the problem is cost. Making choices is one 
thing, the ability to pay is another, for many of us, we just simply don't have 
the funds. I am looking into ways to subsidize the cost, be it on a national 
level, or sector by sector, for example, Students, people in employment, 
recipients of welfare services etc, and, so, would be glad to hear of any 
schemes used in the US, where Aira has been up and running for a while now.

 

The other question is this, with the new Glasses, will we be able

I find the Aira agents to be especially capable and helpful. There certainly is 
a cost. I subscribe at the lowest level. I’ve found them to be very much worth 
the money. Overall, I’ve saved money from asking for help for someone to come 
to my home or office to read materials and other things. I’ve needed them at 
odd hours; having an immediate response has been invaluable. Examples: at 10:00 
PM identifying printer cartridges with low ink and assisting me to change them; 
reading labels from medication bottles.

Hi Sandy,
No, apple hasn't done anything on this market yet. It is a new market and it is 
not profitable yet. However there are ways to use your phone as a smart glass. 
It is what I did and what I do when I want to use a better camera and the 
compass.
Google has 2 great ideas about this. There is the google cardboard. It is a 
simple peace of cardboard that you are going to use on your eyes. You pay for 
it, it is around $15 on amazon, and they come already folded and ready to use. 
Also if  you want you can pay for the head straps that are going to hold the 
google cardboard on your head because you will need to put your iPhone inside 
the google cardboard. This choice has pros and cons.
Pros: it is the cheapest choice, and for learning is great due to the low cost.
Cons:
They are a little bit uncomfortable, and they are not very durable.
Now, here is the best choice that I have found, and they are what I use when I 
need to do activities with a lot of movement. The google daydream. The cost is 
100 dollars. Don't buy the google daydream first edition. Google released a 
newer version on October 2017, and it is the best. In the google daydream 
second edition or google daydream view you will put your iPhone, and you are 
able to do what you want. This device is made with fiber so it is more 
comfortable, also it comes with 3 straps so it will not fall.
What are the pros and cons?
Pros: it is cheaper than any other smart glass, and you are able to put an 
iPhone also.
It is made in fiber so it is more comfortable.
Cons:
This is a virtual reality headset, so the camera will be cover. However what I 
did and what many other blind people have done is ask someone to help you doing 
a hole on the google daydream on the area where the iPhone camera lens will be.
I use the google daydream when I am on activities with a lot of movement. The 
vision 800 glasses are fashion but they are also fragile, so I don't use them 
when I need to run or move a lot.

RE: Using Smart Glasses with apps on the phone?

[pablocmd2014]

Hi Sandy,
No, apple hasn't done anything on this market yet. It is a new market and it is 
not profitable yet. However there are ways to use your phone as a smart glass. 
It is what I did and what I do when I want to use a better camera and the 
compass.
Google has 2 great ideas about this. There is the google cardboard. It is a 
simple peace of cardboard that you are going to use on your eyes. You pay for 
it, it is around $15 on amazon, and they come already folded and ready to use. 
Also if  you want you can pay for the head straps that are going to hold the 
google cardboard on your head because you will need to put your iPhone inside 
the google cardboard. This choice has pros and cons.
Pros: it is the cheapest choice, and for learning is great due to the low cost.
Cons:
They are a little bit uncomfortable, and they are not very durable.
Now, here is the best choice that I have found, and they are what I use when I 
need to do activities with a lot of movement. The google daydream. The cost is 
100 dollars. Don't buy the google daydream first edition. Google released a 
newer version on October 2017, and it is the best. In the google daydream 
second edition or google daydream view you will put your iPhone, and you are 
able to do what you want. This device is made with fiber so it is more 
comfortable, also it comes with 3 straps so it will not fall.
What are the pros and cons?
Pros: it is cheaper than any other smart glass, and you are able to put an 
iPhone also.
It is made in fiber so it is more comfortable.
Cons:
This is a virtual reality headset, so the camera will be cover. However what I 
did and what many other blind people have done is ask someone to help you doing 
a hole on the google daydream on the area where the iPhone camera lens will be.
I use the google daydream when I am on activities with a lot of movement. The 
vision 800 glasses are fashion but they are also fragile, so I don't use them 
when I need to run or move a lot.

Hi Sandy,
This is a technology that I am using. I am still learning, but I know guys that 
are running bykes and motorcycles using this technology.
Take a look to this web page.
https://www.seeingwithsound.com/

I  used to practice fire arms shooting when I was sighted. Today being totally 
blind I am able to practice without direct assistance, and also I have my 
conceal permit. These technology allowed me to identify landscapes, the 
shooting target, and pass my conceal permit test. 
Take care,

Hi,

I have been toying with the idea of buying some smart glasses, not those 
for low vision users, but the ones which take video. I am thinking they could 
be useful with apps like Be My Eyes or Seeing AI, BiSpecular or Periscope. I 
don't want to invest in Aira (if that is spelt right) I prefer to buy some off 
the shelf ones, like those from PivotHead, which are much cheaper and seem to 
be better technology. Using just my phone for assistance, wlking around with it 
directed in front of me, looks like an invitation to be mugged! I'd even mug 
myself!! But with some discrete glasses, I would be less vulnerable, plus, I 
would get info on where my face was directed, instead of having to manage the 
phone with a cane or dog as well.

So, has anyone gone down this route? Does anyone know which glasses will 
work with apps on the phone? All and any info most welcome!

How to remove pictures from my iPhone

[pablocmd2014]

Hi all,

I have tried to remove some hundreds of pictures that I have on my iPhone. I
disable  the picture sharing through iCloud, and also I stopped the upload
of pictures from iCloud to my iPhone and vice versa.

However I don't know how to remove the physical pictures from my iPhone.
They are hundreds, and I can't delete one by one. Is there an efficient way
to do this?

Best adult apps for iPhone
By Jen Karner

You might not know it but there are plenty of adult apps available on the iOS 
store.
When it comes to adult content on mobile devices, there are a variety of apps 
that you can find to enjoy. From apps that help you to try and improve your sex 
life, to those that help explain exactly what all those crazy sex toys do, 
there are plenty of awesome apps filled up with adult content.
While the App Store isn't overflowing with adult content, there are a fair few 
apps you can find, so long as you know what you are looking for.

. iKamaSutra
. Pinup Poker
. Playboy Classic
. iPassion
. Browser for Reddit

iKamaSutra
The Kama Sutra is well known for it's catalog of sexual positions, but you 
don't need to worry about anyone stumbling on this book in your library.
Instead, you can download the app and get access to everything you're looking 
for. iKamaSutra. This app includes all of the positions found within the Kama 
Sutra with some extra options for you.
You can choose to look for potiions based on intimacy, complexity, and 
strength, using slider scales to find positions that you are capable of 
completing. There are positions from movie scenes, 9 categories for you to 
peruse through, and easy to read instructions for each position. The basic app 
comes with 110 positions, but with in-app purchases you can increase this to 
over 230 positions. You can even shake your phone to pick a random position, 
save your favorites, there are even suggestions for sweet and sexy date ideas 
in there.
See at iTunes ($2.99)

Pinup Poker
Not every app on our list is explicit, even though it's definitely got adults 
in mind. That's where Pinup Poker comes in. You get to play Poker with a decent 
engine, all the while getting a eyeful of cards that have been decorated with 
pinup models. There aren't really any bells or whistles to this app, which is 
why it's available for the low, low, price of free. This app is a great 
addition for anybody who enjoys poker, but wants to add some animated eye candy 
to the game.
See at iTunes

Playboy Classic
Playboy has long been a staple when it comes to adult oriented entertainment. 
Their app delivers you tons of content that you would have found in the 
magazine a few years ago, just this time it's on the screen of your preferred 
device. You can browse through photos of playmates, read articles, and even 
view galleries of classic cartoons from the earlier days of the magazine. There 
is roughly a ton of content crammed into this app for you to view and explore.
Playboy Classic is subscription based, with a 30-day membership running $2.99, 
or a one-year subscription for $19.99. Updated daily with new photos, events, 
and articles, this may be the app you've been looking for!
See at iTunes($2.99 monthly, $19.99 yearly)

iPassion
Sometimes you want a little bit of a surprise to spice up your love life with 
your sweetie. iPassion can help you do just that with a fun game built for 
couples. You'll both answer a few questions about yourself, followed by a 
specially built quiz. Both you and your partner will need to answer questions

Hello,
I just installed Seeing AI a couple of days ago, and so far I like what I find. 
 However, when I scroll through the list of available channels, the two 
channels I was most interested in ("currency" and "product" are missing.

Currency is in the settings but just not in the list of channels.

Could this be because I am using an IPhone 5? I think I saw that the app wasn't 
suppo rted on anything less than IPhone 5c, but I am not goingto upgrade for 
this one app :-)

Thanks in advance for any information,

look at "the Voice". I am not sure they have an iPhone app, but they do have 
Android. It creates a soundscape where higher pitch is upward, lower is 
downward, objects either to the left or right will appear in the soundscape in 
that relative position. objects of brighter color or luminosity will be louder.

Hello all,

I am wondering if any body knows and app able to inform location of objects on 
the video. Let me try to describe an example, probably it will be more 
explanatory than my question.

I have on the video an object, let us say that it is a picture on the wall. If 
the picture is just on the middle of the screen, the level of audio is balance 
between the left and right audio channel. But if the camera moves a little bit 
to the right, then the picture will be more to the left on the screen. The left 
audio  channel will make a louder than the right audio channel. Something very 
similar  than the way how our echo ears works. If someone is in front of us, 
yelling something, our ears are going to hear their voice at the same volume in 
both ears. But if we move our head a little bit to the right, the audio is 
going to be louder on our left ear than in our right ear.

Now, what I am looking is an app that will detect an object, and if the object 
is on the center of the video, the audio will be in balance between right and 
left audio channels. The volume of the channels will change if the object moves 
on the screen.

Is there any app able to do this?

object location app

[pablocmd2014]

Hello all,

I am wondering if any body knows and app able to inform location of objects
on the video. Let me try to describe an example, probably it will be more
explanatory than my question. 

I have on the video an object, let us say that it is a picture on the wall.
If the picture is just on the middle of the screen, the level of audio is
balance between the left and right audio channel. But if the camera moves a
little bit to the right, then the picture will be more to the left on the
screen. The left audio  channel will make a louder than the right audio
channel. Something very similar  than the way how our echo ears works. If
someone is in front of us, yelling something, our ears are going to hear
their voice at the same volume in both ears. But if we move our head a
little bit to the right, the audio is going to be louder on our left ear
than in our right ear.

Now, what I am looking is an app that will detect an object, and if the
object is on the center of the video, the audio will be in balance between
right and left audio channels. The volume of the channels will change if the
object moves on the screen.

Is there any app able to do this?

LOL, apology… Yeah right! If they really want to show remorse, they would give 
us the ability to toggle the throttling on or off. Good luck getting them to do 
that though.

RE: Bluetooth keyboards on iPhone X and IOs 11.2

[pablocmd2014]

I found on a web page some tips to fix the Bluetooth problems in IOs 11.x. 
However after I fixed my problem, I am finding that the problem reappear  if I 
try to use the Bluetooth keyboard in a different app. Then I had to turn off 
the keyboard, and turn it on again. I have found a lot of pages talking about 
this problem, and I am a little bit surprise that none of you have this problem?
How often you use a Bluetooth keyboard?

It was released yesterday morning as far as I know.

Of course nobody will report any bluetooth issues in iOS 11.2 because just like 
all other Apple hardware and software it is perfect, there are no bugs like in 
Android and all that.

Pablo, admit it, you hate Android and you love Apple.

OK, for all who don’t know how Pablo and I “love” each other, this is all just 
in good fun.

Pablo of course accuses me of always defending Apple and of always buying the 
latest which of course is the reason why Pablo has an iPhone X and I have the 
much newer and superior iPhone 6S Plus… wait, I got that wrong, the 6S Plus is 
2 years old, sorry, Pablo, you are wrong *smile*.

Sieghard,

I never left the list. 

Why I am going to leave the apple word. 

You know how much I enjoy pocking fun on you. 

As I have told you that I have several apple devices at home, and also I have 
several android devices at home. Is good that both sides exist because neither 
apple or android were going to improve without competition.

I have found some pages saying that IOs 11.12 had some problems with the 
Bluetooth connection. They advise to restore the iPhone, but it is something 
that I already did, and now I have IOs 11.2. However I haven’t seen anybody 
saying anything about the Bluetooth on IOs 11.2, but it was release a few days 
ago.

Let us wait to see if anybody reports something.

Pablo, welcome back to the wonderful world of iOS, after your last trip down 
Apple Street I thought you’d stay in Android Land forever. I don’t have a fancy 
new iPhone X or even an 8 or 8 Plus, but on my trusty 6S Plus my Logitech K780 
keyboard works fine. Have you checked on Applevis if there is any advice on 
what might be going on here?

I know Mario posted something about “editing issues using bluetooth keyboards 
on the iPhone 8/8 Plus”, but I’m not sure what exactly he is referring to. I 
don’t use my keyboard all that much, but I have definitely used it to write 
some emails and such and it seems to work fine.

Yes,  I  have tried pressing on the apple keyboard the right and left key 
simultaneously enabling and disabling  the quick navigation mode.

The sound is always the same, like an  beep error.

Are you sure you have the quick Nav turned off.  If you press the left and 
right arrow keys together it will say quick Nav off or on.  Press it again if 
it says quick Nav on.

One of the keyboards is a Logitech  Bluetooth 3.0, and the second is an apple

to navigate on the screen each keyboards. But when I try to type characters, 
the iPhone beeps like saying error, for each character typed. So I am not able 
to type anything with any of these keyboards. Maybe I need to do something new

I don’t know, but if I pair the keyboards to my apple TV, they work fine.

iPhone X uses Bluetooth 5, so I don’t think it  is a problem.

Hi,

 

Just came across these Zolo Liberty+ earbuds, they are I believe made by Anker 
or at least the guy who started Anker is involved somehow.

I didn’t see them yet on Amazon.ca, but you can preorder them on Amazon.com for 
$99 and it says they will be available on November 29 which is just 2 days away.

They were offered via Kickstarter campagne as well this summer.

If anybody buys them I hope they’ll post a review, here is the link on Amazon:

Technology and 24 Hours Battery Life, Sweatproof Total-Wireless Earbuds with 
Smart AI

looking for recommendations about single Headset

[pablocmd2014]

Hello all,

Happy thanksgivings for all who celebrated this holiday Yesterday.

I am looking for recommendations about a Bluetooth single headset that goes
hugged around the ear, not in the ear or over the ear. I have a Plantronic
Legend but I have been using this device since I had my iPhone 4, and I
thought that maybe is time to replace it.

Which single headset  that goes around the ear do you recommend?

Thanks for all,
