Richard, I've tried 'em all, i.e. 2 finger upswipe to have VO read each element, manual right swipe, finger drag.
Even with my sighted wife telling me where to go, I can't get the Feels Like, Wind, Himidity or Hi / lo temps to announce. E.g there's just a click sound between Sat and % precip when dragging vertically. How do I activate Vertical Navigation? I'll give that a try. Are you a Paid Member? I'm not. Wondering if that could be a difference. Don't want to pay just to try to get it active, but if you're a paid member, maybe that's a difference. Thanks for your help. I'd like to use the app, but I need full access to to want to use it.

If you are sliding your finger it is easy to miss things. But, if you find where it says Sat and slide your finger straight down, just before you get the percip percentage the high and low temps are given. another way to get there is turn the rotor to Vertical Navigation. then, when you touch Sat, flick down and you will hear the high-low and another flick down gives you the percentage of precipitation.

Mine wasn't working that way, as I described in my first email. After you're email, I uninstalled and reinstalled Weather Underground. It's still not working for me as you describe. >From the top left it works as you describe for the first few elements. Then, it announces the temp, doesn't announce the Feels Like, Wind, Humidity. It then announces Sat Sun Mon. it doesn't announce Hi / Lo temps for Sat Sun Mon that are n the screen (again, as my sighted wife tells me), but then does announce the next line of % precipitation risk for Sat Sun Mon. Also, a three finger swipe left / right doesn't do anything. The tabs along the bottom are as you describe. Why is the behavior of this app for me so different from yours, especially after an uninstall and reinstall? I'm stumped. Any ideas appreciated.

You should find a button that says UI toolbar home city". Start flicking to the right with one finger. You should hear your home city, then UI Toolbar Station, the next number you hear is the current temp, then you will hear "feels like" and a number, then you will hear "Wind and a number. If you do a three finger swipe from right to left like you would do to go from page to page of apps, you will find the next few days information in the same three or four column table. At the bottom of the screen, the second tab is for the hourly forecast. Double tap on that. Then, you will have each hour on a separate line down the screen, for example, for today in Portland Oregon, I hear "9 AM, 53, 8, 80 percent" If you search around you can find the column headings for those numbers: Hour, Conditions, Wind, Percip. I hope that helps, Richard If you check the bottom ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D. Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2012 8:48 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Weather Underground question (Was RE: Looking for a wind speed measuring app) My Weather Underground speaks the temp, then announces the next 3 days (e.g. Sat Sun Mon), then the risk of precipitation. My sighted wife tells me that after the temp, Wind and Humidity are listed but not spoken by VO, and that forecasted temps for Sat Sun Mon are listed before the risk of precipitation. In other words, at least on my app, Wind and Humidity information is not spoken by VO, nor are the predicted Hi / Lo temps for the next 3 days. I've checked in my app settings and can't find anything that sounds like there's anything I can change in my settings. Are you getting VO to announce the things I can't get mine to announce? If so, do you have ideas what I may be able to do to fix this? I'm running app v 2.0. I've been using MenuWeather to get the Wind, Humidity, and other info. Thanks in advance. keith ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marcy Weinberg Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2012 10:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Looking for a wind speed measuring app Does the Weather Underground app give you current conditions, usually updated once an hour? On the weather underground website, I put in my zip code, and when the page for my town came up, I bookmarked it and put the bookmark on my home screen. Every time I go in, there is a table with current conditions, including the wind speed and direction. Hope this helps!

I live in Southern California and it looks like we're about to get blasted with some Santa Ana winds these next few days. I currently only have the native iPhone app, another app that just measures humitidy and Weather Underground on my phone. I use Weather Underground as my main weather app and all in all, I am quite satisfied with it. The one thing it doesn't have however, or at least I haven't come across it while poking around the app is any sort of wind speed indicator or measurement tool. Can anyone recommend a app that will in fact do this? I'd of course prefer a free option, but I'd even pay one or two bucks for it if need be. I just don't want to go paying for something to find out it pretty much sucks with Voiceover. Thanks, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
