Dear Evan & List: If Seeing AI is flagged as an IPhone-only App, it will not download on an IPad or other Apple device. This flag may be new, would think it is set when App is placed in the App Store. Suppose IOS can goof at times and download an App onto a device it should not be downloaded

RE: Using a VPN with voiceover

You should make sure that any companion app that works with the VPN service you choose is accessible to Voiceover. I expect most services have their own apps. I use the Tunnel Bear VPN service and found it competitive and accessible and their support was responsive when I first contacted them

Braille: Orbit Reader 20 update

This week I updated the firmware on my orbit Reader 20 to the latest version 01.01.57. And now there are bugs - are others using it finding this too? When I want to create a capital letter, tapping dot 6 no longer is recognised to initiate a capital letter. Nothing happens when dot 6 is

Re: Seeing AI alternative for iPad?

That is not true. You simply have to change the filter in the app store search screen to iPhone apps. Most apps that are listed as iPhone apps, work fine on an iPad. I've downloaded SEEING AI on several iPads and it works great! Richard The most common way people give up their power is by

Facebook stories??

Hello, I've noticed, that when using the Facebook app on the iPhone, I tend to get a lot of "stories". It will have a friend's name and will say something about their unread or unseen story. What is that all about? I see their posts. And, more and more, as I'm scrolling through, I just get

Re: Braille input problem in Mail app

Hi, This is just a wild guess, but it may be possible that you inadvertently issued some command from your Orbit Reader that changed your Braille input. I did that once a long time ago and it caused me all kinds of trouble when trying to do things like log into my banking app. For that reason I

This is one of these questions where a Google search for “What are Facebook Stories” provides you with tons of search results from articles, a Wikipedia entry and Youtube videos explaining how to create them, save them and so on. The main thing to take away from all of this is that for blind

RE: What do I do to delete phone calls, incoming and outgoing?

Make sure the rotor is set to Actions and then flick either up or down when you are in the Recent Call list and Voiceover will say "Delete", double tap on that and the call will be deleted from the log. You can also tap "Edit" at the top right of the screen, once you do then there will be a

I know the agents go through a training process to become part of AIRA; that’s why it is a paid service as their agents are paid. I am not sure of all the policies they have. I wasn’t talking so much about a scenario in which someone an agent or volunteer sees approach an individual in a

Most of my lyft rides have gone well, but last week a driver refused to take us because of my wife's walker. He canceled the ride and we were charged $5 for a no show even though we were, in fact, in the car and he asked us to get out. Fortunately, I was able to get the charge reversed. Two
