Hearing "waiting widget" on Home Screen of iPad Mini

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi All,

Every time I go to my home screen on my iPad Mini, I hear "waiting widget".  I 
am not able to swipe to anything that says this, so I don't know where it is 
coming from.

I think I have had this since I first upgraded to IOS 15, but I did upgrade to 
IOS 15.6.1 today, and it is still there.

Does anyone know what this would be and how to get rid of it?

Thanks,
Pam

RE: question how to stop my i pad and i phone saying the word soashel after some folders and before you flip to diffrentpages on the screen.

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Ah, Christopher, your post jogged my memory regarding the gesture.  I had a 
very annoying similar situation, I believe, and someone had posted a fix which 
I couldn’t find.

Try doing the double tap and hold on the place just before the doc, where it 
says page one of x.  that will give you an edit box.  If it says “social”,  try 
deleting that and entering a space.  Then I believe you would hit done to get 
out of editing.

I hope that helps.

A three finger double tap and hold will label an image and not rename a folder. 
This might be the problem since maybe you renamed the folder icon with the word 
social. Not sure how to undo this, but maybe someone else has a solution. I 
looked to see if there was a way to delete labels you created with VoiceOver, 
but I didn’t see anything obvious.

To rename a folder, I’d double tap to open the folder and then do a double tap 
and hold on the folder name to edit it.

Hi how do I do that? Since I tried to re name the folder by doing a 3 finger 
press and hold and it re named the elliment only and now vo is saying soashel 
when I am swipeing around for instince it will say soashel page 1 of 7 soashel 
page 2 of 7 or it will say things like soashel callinder and not only are nun 
of these apps in the soashel folder it will just not stop saying them. I have 
contacted apple and all I have gotten out of them is to wate for a update that 
might or might not fix the ishu since the enjinears have no idea what is going 
on. From Mich.

RE: Aira and Be my eyes

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Very good summary.  Most of my calls to AIRA are well under 5 minutes also, 
although we do have the subscription for 30 minutes.  Yesterday, we called them 
to describe the layout of buttons and connectors on a new receiver we had just 
gotten.  They pulled up the model of the receiver on the web, and gave us a 
great description, which we recorded for future use.

Many times, they do take a picture of what you are showing them so they can see 
it more clearly.  

My husband and I are both blind, or close to, and have found ways to deal with 
things that would normally need sight for many years without these services 
being available, but it is really nice to have these as an option now also.

I would say as far as Aira and Be my eyes, it all depends on what you are doing.

Keep in mind that Aira agents are sitting at a computer and have access to many 
tools like maps of your surroundings, airports that you might be at, and many 
other toolsbe like being able to use your camera to take a picture of something 
that has extremely small writing and for some reason is hard to scan with 
Seeing eye.  Also, like Richard said, Aira agents are bonded and are under a 
privacy NDA.  So they can help you read numbers of a credit card, information 
from a bill, or any other personal information. Aira agents can also help you 
with task or problems you are trying to do on your computer by the use of team 
viewer.  And lets not forget that Aira has many free ways of using their 
service.  Non paying members can use one 5 minute call a day for free, plus you 
can use Aira for free if you are at any of their sponsored locations;  like 
Walgreens for example' or if you are having a problem with Jaws.  And just in 
case anyone is wondering, the majority of my calls with Aira are less than 5 
minutes.  They are very quick and efficient in how they help you.

Now, Be My Eyes is a great service, especially for those small quick task, like 
identifying objects, maybe finding something you dropped on the floor, locating 
a door, Reading a computer screen, etc.  But I would not ask Be My Eyes to help 
me with anything personal, like my mail, bills, etc.

I do personally use both services, and I think they both provide a great 
service.  Just like in any situation, what tool I use depends on what I am 
currently trying to accomplish.

Hope this helps.

Chris

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

I believe the free 5 minutes is still available.  They have just given priority 
to those who have a paid account with them, so it may take longer for those 
using it for free to get connected with someone.

I actually think they have disabled the free five minute feature but I could be

But I was wondering, is there an easy way to be able to find the use by dates,

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,

Widget on iPad

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi,

As of a recent update on my iPad mini, I am noticing a widget that periodically 
shows up which says "waiting widget".  It then seems to disappear after a short 
time.  Then if I am in an app and come back out to the home screen, it is there 
again.

As another person posted, several other strange widgets had showed up after 
updating to IOS 15.  I was able to remove those by the double tap and hold 
method, but I don't seem to be able to do anything with this waiting widget.

Does anyone know what it is for or how to remove it?

Thanks,
Pam

Thanks, Debbie.  I was afraid of that.  I thought I had it working when

HI Pam,

This app has had its accessibility problems for a long time.

I also have an iPhone 8 and I can reorder items but I can't buy anything new. 
I've had the same experience just last night; tried to add 2 cookies to my cart 
from McDonalds and when I double tap on the item it doesn't go anywhere.

When I went into my cart they asked if I wanted to add anything and 2 cookies

Has anyone had success ordering from DoorDash recently?  It seems this app is

When trying to flick through the available items, focus jumps to other places

Difficulty Ordering with Doordash App

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Has anyone had success ordering from DoorDash recently?  It seems this app is 
very hit or miss as far as accessibility.

When trying to flick through the available items, focus jumps to other places 
on the list.  Also, if I do land on an item I want, double tapping it to choose 
it seems to do nothing.

I have an iPhone 8, so this is not the issue with the screen describe feature

The nice thing about bard, is that it is completely free.  It doesn't
cost you anything.  My previously downloaded bard books is now at
20176.  I have them all stored on my external hard drive.  Bard mobile
has a great feature that once on a book title of your bookshelf, you
can swipe down for additional options, like author, more info which
would tell you the summary of the book, an option to see all books by
that author that bard had, or all books in a specific category, or all
books in a specific series.  Very cool.

RE: Merlin, Bird Identification app from Cornell Labs

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi Richard,

Yes, I wrote the list recommending this app.  It is far superior to any other 
bird id apps I have tried.  I agree about the quality of the bird songs they 
have.  When I record a bird call, their identification has been much better 
also.  I like that once a bird call I record has been identified, I can go to 
their list of birds, search for the bird it identified, and listen to the 
recorded call in the app to confirm that it identified the correct bird.

For anyone interested in birds, this is definitely worth a try.

I didn't realize they had a digital magazine.  I will look into that.  Thanks 
for that info.

Subject: Merlin, Bird Identification app from Cornell Labs

I'm sorry I don't recall right now who first mentioned the Merlin app, but 
thank you.  It may have been Pam?

In any case, I am impressed with how the app works and the sound quality of 
their bird recordings.

I decided I wanted to support them once I confirmed that the Cornell Labs 
really is connected to Cornell University and how much they are doing for Bird 
protection and revitalization.

I wrote them with a question because one of the benefits of supporting them is 
a digital Bird magazine they produce.  I was concerned about the accessibility 
of a digital magazine.

It took a couple of weeks to get an answer, but the answer came today and they 
said, and I quote, "I checked with our staff and they don't know anything about 
Screen Readers, but here is a link to the digital magazine so you can check it 
out."

I checked it out.

And, while they may not know anything about screen readers, they have produced 
a fully accessible magazine.  They clearly have smart people who actually pay 
attention to current web accessibility standards.  The pictures have good 
alt-tags that describe them in some detail, but not too much.
All the articles are accessible.

Their web site for setting up your membership is mostly accessible other than 
one key element.  Picking the level you want.  So, I got sighted help for that.

Whether you want to support them or not, the app is truly excellent.

Here is the link:

RE: Bird Identification App

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

I hadn’t actually provided them with an email address yet, so I didn’t know 
they had a video.  The app seems fairly intuitive so far.

Once you have a pack, you should see a button that says “sound id”.  Double tap 
on that, and then double tap on the “microphone” button if you want to record a 
bird call to be identified.  I have found that it may help to point the phone’s 
microphone toward where you are hearing the bird.  Double tap stop when you are 
done.  Then you can see what matches the app found.  If you double tap on the 
“supported birds” button, there is a list of birds, which if you tap on one, 
you get a description and can play a sample of their call.

I do see now that it isn’t letting me into the app without entering an email 
address, so I will see what email I get from them.  For some reason, it hadn’t 
been forcing me to enter an email address until now.  No big deal though.

There should be a get button if you swipe right from the name of the pack.  I 
had Southeast United States, United States and Canada, and then all, going from 
left to right.  VoiceOver should speak that it is a get button.  You can track 
the progress and the page in the app will let you know your progress and when 
it is installed.

I haven’t actually used the app yet.

The Cornell Lab of Ornothology, who sponsors the app, has started sending me 
emails.  One includes a video about how to use the app, but I assume it is 
oriented to the sighted.  We’ll see ow helpful it is.

Hi,

I heard about the Merlin Bird Id app and have been trying it out, and so far I 
am quite pleased with it.

They have packs that you can download of birds in different geographical areas. 
 So far, I have just downloaded the one for my area to try it out.  It actually 
has identified some birds which other apps were not able to id.  They had 
recently added the ability to identify birds from you recording the bird call 
you are hearing.  They also list the common birds in your area, and if you 
choose one, you can hear a recorded bird call that someone has contributed to 
the app.

So far, I am impressed, especially compared to some of the other apps I have 
tried.  I just wanted to pass this along in case anyone is interested.

You are most welcome.  We live close to the Gulf of Mexico, so there are a lot

Subject: Bird Identification App

Hi,

I have been trying to find a good bird id app without much success until now.

I heard about the Merlin Bird Id app and have been trying it out, and so far I 
am quite pleased with it.

They have packs that you can download of birds in different geographical areas. 
 So far, I have just downloaded the one for my area to try it out.  It actually 
has identified some birds which other apps were not able to id.  They had 
recently added the ability to identify birds from you recording the bird call 
you are hearing.  They also list the common birds in your area, and if you 
choose one, you can hear a recorded bird call that someone has contributed to 
the app.

So far, I am impressed, especially compared to some of the other apps I have 
tried.  I just wanted to pass this along in case anyone is interested.

Pam

RE: iPad Question?

Yes, I don’t think I ever use containers when navigating on my phone, but I use 
them a lot for getting around the iPad.  Before I got in the habit of using 
them, I found the iPad navigation very cumbersome.

RE: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability?

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Alan,

We recently got an Ecobee thermostat which was recommended by our HVAC company 
and it works with our Trane air conditioner.  I do not remember the specific 
model offhand, though.

My husband and I are both blind, and after the initial setup, we have had no 
issues using it with their app or Alexa.   The only time we needed sighted help 
was during the setup process to enter the WIFI information directly on the 
touch screen of the unit.  There may have been a way around this that we might 
have missed at the time, but a call to AIRA helped get this part done.

Anyway, we are very happy with this unit.

Alan,
Open the Amazon Alexa app on your phone and go to add new device and select 
thermostat and it will ask you for the brand and give you a pretty long list of 
brands.

That might help.
The company should be able to tell you which thermostats work with your new 
system that are Wi-Fi compatible.

HTH,

Check to see what thermostats the installer carries that work with the Total 
Connect comfort app.  Certainly many of the newer Honeywell thermostats will, 
but I know other brands also work with it.
You should be able to find out quickly if they work with Echo devices by 
opening the add device and click on thermostats, and I think it offers a list 
of potential thermostats.  I can check after a while, but wanted to get this 
sent since you are on a tight time frame.

Subject: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability?

Hi List,

Unfortunately, I'm having to replace my central heating and air conditioning 
systems. I don't have the specific manufacturer make and model of the system 
I've chosen but it is made by Trane. Since a new thermostat is required with 
the new system, it makes sense to get one that is accessible with my iPhone and 
also works with my Amazon Echo so that the installers of the new system can 
install it at the same time. I'm dealing with a tight timeframe since the 
installation process starts tomorrow.

I know this topic has come up repeatedly but I'm hoping someone would not mind 
reposting their recommendation for accessible thermostats. Any comments on 
which systems are required to work with a particular accessible thermostat are 
also needed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hunter Sprinkler Timer Accessibility

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

We are looking into getting a new timer for our sprinkler system.  The company 
who is doing some work on our sprinklers is recommending the Hydrawise system

If anyone has other recommendations, that would also be appreciated.  I believe 
I recall Rachio previously being mentioned as being fairly accessible.

Thanks for any thoughts on this.

RE: Turning off and then back iPhone

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Also, if you are on certain phones, for example the iPhone 8, you can turn the 
phone off by pressing and holding the side power button by itself until you 
hear the "power off" option.

Subject: RE: Turning off and then back iPhone

As for turning off the phone, there are only 2 ways:

1. Settings > General > Turn off iPhone, to speed it up a bit you can ask SIRI 
to go to General Settings, then do a 4-finger ap near the bottom of the screen 
and focus should be on the Turn off button. Of course after you tap it you 
still have to tap the "Power Off" button.
2. Press and hold the Side Button and Volume Down for a second or so, focus may 
not be on the Power Off button and you have to be a bit careful in case it is 
on Emergency Call, just flick left a couple of times and you should be on Power 
Off.

As for turning it on there are also 2 ways:

1. Press and hold the side button and count to about 5 or 6, then let go and 
wait about 15 seconds and Voiceover should come on.
2. You can plug the phone in to a Lightning cable attached to power or put it 
down on a wireless charging pad, as soon as charging starts it will also power 
up your iPhone.

RE: iPad as a Productivity Tool

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi Joe,

I do have an iPad and enjoy it, but there are still some things I find much 
easier to do on a PC.  

You can navigate by headings in a browser,but I know of no way to do this 
without using the rotor.

I also am a heavy user of the Find feature with JAWS on web pages and am not 
aware of an equivalent in IOS.  I would love to be proven wrong on this.

I also need to use Excel and Word quite a lot, which I find much easier on the 
PC.

So it really depends on what you want to use it for, in my opinion.

Pam

Subject: iPad as a Productivity Tool

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help educate me on the practical use of an
iPad, a topic I know comes up routinely on the list. I have an iPhone,
understand the benefits of iOS and the great progress of Voiceover.
I'm still on the hunt for a productive tablet though and wonder if the
iPad has improved in the past couple years, understanding of course
that "improvement" is purely subjective.

First, have we made any progress with web browsing on iOS? That is to
say, with a Bluetooth keyboard, have we improved the ability to do
things like jump from heading to heading or navigate by paragraph
without using the roter?

Second, regarding document editing, is Ulysses still the best editing
app out there? I'm looking for something to integrate well with
Dropbox and is able to accept Markup language. I'd rather pay a lump
sum as opposed to a subscription plan, but if Ulysses is still the
best bet, I'd be curious to know this.

Yes, I am guilty of wanting to see some of the JAWS ease of use on
iOS, which I know is not possible or fair. Still, I am a creature of
habit, and if my only recourse is to circle back to PC tablet options,
I'll do so. The iPad is always back there in the back of my mind, and
if you've picked it up as your tool of productivity, I'd love to hear
from you.

Thank you kindly in advance,

Joe

I am assuming it must be referring to Walmart grocery delivery, in which case

RE: Insta pot

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi,

I don't know if the Instant Pot Duo is still being sold.  This does not have 
any connectivity to mobile devices, but once you learn what the buttons are, it 
is useable by a blind person.  I have one, and can use it without issues.  Of 
course, it doesn't have all of the nice things that you would get if it 
connected to your phone.

RE: Thermostats for the Blind

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi Mike,

We got the Eco-Bee thermostat a few weeks ago and do like it so far.  It can be 
operated via the iPhone or through their website.  We have had a few issues 
with our AC, and like the fact that you can access logs of any problems it has 
detected.

It was a little quirky getting it set up with WiFi at first.  We ended up 
having to enter the WiFi password on the touchpad on the thermostat, and used 
Aira to assist with that.  There may have been another way to do that , though.

Good luck,
Pam

RE: Speaking of smart thermostats...

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the suggestions.  We did try changing the batteries, and that did 
not help.  The only switch we found has the positions labeled “E” and “G”.  I 
have no idea what that means, but we tried changing it from where it was set at 
“E”, and it made no difference.

Thanks.

on the inside of the unit that contains the batteries, there is a 2 position 
cycling switch. You should make sure that it is set to the short cycling 
position. This will make sure that the AC or heating unit runs for a shorter 
period of time. With some installations, the batteries provide the voltage to 
the system. Try changing the batteries and see if this makes a difference.

Hi Traci,

Quite often, the air conditioner stays on much longer than it needs to.  For 
example, we usually have it set to 76 degrees during the day, and often have to 
turn it to 79 or 80 to get it to shut off, even though other thermometers 
indicate that the temperature we set it for has been reached.  Also, the button 
to tell you what the current temperature is does not work.  We had an air 
conditioning tech out yesterday because our compressor has been cycling on and 
off, and he said the voltage from the thermostat to the outside unit was 
fluctuating.

This is getting just a little bit off topic, but Pam, I’m curious what is the 
problem you’ve been having with the VIP thermostats? I used it fine with no 
problems, as far as I know of, for 10 years. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get it 
disconnected to come to the new house.

Along the talking lines, has anyone heard of HPS talking thermostat? I found it 
on this website.

I Pam,
Since the old Airpods fit in your ear, these are probably 30 or 40 or more 
times as large, grin.
They completely cover your ears.  The ear cups are padded and your ear fits 
inside them so the pads are touching your head around your ears, not on your 
ears.
I suppose if someone had extraordinarily large ears they might press on them...

The ear pieces are made of metal and are approximately 4 inches tall and 3.5 
inches wide and the metal part is almost an inch thick, then the padded piece 
is about 3/4 inches thick.
The band that goes over your head is made up of two metal bars that have a nice 
mesh between them that sits on your head and distributes the weight so they do 
not feel that heavy on your head, though when you hold them, they are 
surprisingly heavy. 
The adjustment for the earpieces is also metal and seems to hold the position 
you set it at quite well.
You really have to have them in your hands to fully appreciate them, but I hope 
that helps.

If you have an Apple store in your area that opens up, I'd say go and check 
them out.

Richard

Yes, I'd definitely not encourage anyone to take these head phones anywhere if 
they're worried about them getting wet, but as Pete says here in Austin there 
are plenty of days every year where you can safely take these outside and 
absolutely not worry about them getting rained on.

RE: How do I answer a call and finish a call without voiceover?

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

This may sound silly, but the reference to “light dependent” threw me at first. 
 I guess I am just not used to using all of the substitute names for sighted 
people that seem to get used.

I do agree that Richard’s information was helpful, however.

In addition to asking how a sighted person would answer a phone call on an 
iPhone, rena also said “I need to help my mother who never used an iPhone. I 
changed my 6S for the SE and gave her the 6S to her.” So I thought Richard’s 
information was right on point. Plus if Brad wanted to just highlight the one 
piece of information Richard already included in his email about answering a 
call, he could have done it with something more constructive and accurate than 
“all the references in Richard’s instructions to various VoiceOver gestures are 
irrelevant.”

Just my $0.02.

I did not say your information was not helpful to new voiceover users. I said 
the information was irrelevant to the original question, which was how to 
answer and end a phone call on iPhone without voiceover being enabled.
When answering questions on these list, I think it's important to keep your 
focus on the question that is being asked by the original poster, and not 
include information that is irrelevant and can cause confusion.

Perhaps you don’t get the intended humor of referring to sighted users as light

And since the person asking the question had given the phone to her Mother who

Hello,

This sounds like a problem I had when first I updated to IOS 14. Try this and 
see if it helps.

1. On your home screen, flick to the page indicator item, the one that says "1 
of 5" or whatever suits your situation.

2. Do a two-finger double tap and hold. You hold it while your hear 3 beeps and 
then another sound. This is the "label item" gesture.

3. Check the edit field that comes up. In my case, it contained the word 
"contact" when it should not have had any value.

4. If there is something in the edit field, then delete it and key in one space 
into the edit field. Then save it. This fixed my problem.

5. If that edit field comes up blank, then this is not the problem you are 
having and you can just cancel out of the label item operation.

Good luck.

Hi All,

I upgraded to the latest IOS version from IOS 13.7 on my iPad mini.  Now, when 
I swipe to or touch a different area of the screen such as the status bar, the 
main part of the screen, or the doc, it says the word “cooking” before saying 
anything else.  Cooking is the name of a folder I have on my iPhone, but it is 
not on my iPad.

I had similar behavior several years ago, and then it was magically fixed when 
I upgraded to IOS 10, if I am remembering correctly.

I just wanted to know if anyone else has noticed this.  I will be making a call 
to Apple accessibility.

Hello,

This sounds like a problem I had when first I updated to IOS 14. Try this and 
see if it helps.

1. On your home screen, flick to the page indicator item, the one that says "1 
of 5" or whatever suits your situation.

2. Do a two-finger double tap and hold. You hold it while your hear 3 beeps and 
then another sound. This is the "label item" gesture.

3. Check the edit field that comes up. In my case, it contained the word 
"contact" when it should not have had any value.

4. If there is something in the edit field, then delete it and key in one space 
into the edit field. Then save it. This fixed my problem.

5. If that edit field comes up blank, then this is not the problem you are 
having and you can just cancel out of the label item operation.

Good luck.

Hi All,

I upgraded to the latest IOS version from IOS 13.7 on my iPad mini.  Now, when 
I swipe to or touch a different area of the screen such as the status bar, the 
main part of the screen, or the doc, it says the word “cooking” before saying 
anything else.  Cooking is the name of a folder I have on my iPhone, but it is 
not on my iPad.

I had similar behavior several years ago, and then it was magically fixed when 
I upgraded to IOS 10, if I am remembering correctly.

I just wanted to know if anyone else has noticed this.  I will be making a call 
to Apple accessibility.

I’ve only just started using Supersense, so had not noticed the lack of extra

IN Seeing AI, there is a More Info button in the upper right if more details 
are available.
In the case of Lean Cuisine  frozen meals, the cooking direction is included in 
that more info.

Apps like Seeing AI depend on an internet connection to look things up I think, 
so the ID Mate will be as good as the latest database installed.

 Seeing AI does a very good job. As does SuperSense.
The rule of thumb that I learned from Digit-Eyes' page on scanning bar codes is 
that on cans or bottles with a label, the code is usually near the seam on the 
lower half of the container.
Boxes are usually on the bottom.
Plastic bags are usually near the seam, toward the bottom.
Cans and bottles without labels, you just have to keep turning the container 
until you find it.

I believe on a phone it is a triple click of the side button, or on an iPad 
without a home button, a triple click of the button on the top.

How do you turn on voice over on an iPhone without the home button?  I
know I can just hit the home button 3 times on my iPhone 8.  Thanks.
Also, I'm sure apple accessibility will help you with setting up your
apple device.  When I got my iPhone 8, I accidentally locked myself
out of my iPhone because I had trouble entering my passcode.  When I
called apple accessibility, I was told that I would need to reinstall
my iPhone's operating system or something.  This guy, helped me get on
iTunes and walked me through the steps.  Once that was done, someone
else helped me set up my iPhone.

I just got an iPad mini for Christmas, and the setup was no problem.  VoiceOver 
started with triple click home, and you can just follow the prompts from there. 
 I had an older iPad, so I restored an iCloud backup of that to the new mini.  

In short, no vision was needed.

Good luck,
Pam

Subject: Is It Possible to Set Up an iPad out of the Box without Any Sighted 
Assistance?

Hello,

Kind of a followup to my recent inquiry, if my Life Partner decides to get an 
iPad, is it possible to set one up without any sighted assistance?

The problem is that we are having a very hard time right now getting an 
appointment at the Apple store, where they would normally do that for a blind 
customer. So basically, we would be having to get it running from square one.

My Life Partner has a very limited amount of partial vision, and I have none at 
all. I do however, have some familiarity with VoiceOver, having had an iPad 
Mini for a few years. So I could likely be of help in setting it up, once 
VoiceOver has been activated.

I would be grateful for any advice on this.

Evan

RE: Searching in the Instacart App

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Interesting.  I am getting different results from both of you.

In the past, I have used the method pointed out by Cait.  However, now when I 
tap on this search button, it brings up the list of sales instead of the search 
box.

I also get different tabs along the bottom of the screen than Richard mentions. 
 I currently do not have an order in the works, but next time I will do some 
more experimenting.

Does anyone know how to get the list of available stores off of the main screen 
once you have started a cart at a particular store?

Thanks,
Pam

Another approach is shown here:

after you have fully entered the store in which you are shopping, you will find 
across the bottom of the screen these buttons: Shop, explore, and Buy it Again. 
At times I also find a button labeled Savings among this group of buttons.

Double tap Explore. You will be taken to a screen with the heading Explore. 
Beneath that heading you will find the word Search followed by the name of the 
store and an ellipsis. Double tap there. Then, you’re in the edit field. Type 
or dictate the name of the item and proceed as you usually do.

Hope this helps.

The main reason some people choose to get the cell model is for that exact 
reason, you can actually leave your home without your phone if you want. So 
yes, with the cell model, you can make and receive calls without your phone, as 
well as send and receive messages. Just know, making phone calls on your watch 
can drain the battery more quickly.

I also wanted to mention that you can also make and receive calls on the non 
cell model as long as your phone is within some distance. So this can come in 
handy if you do not want to take your phone out of your pocket.

Hope this helps.

Chris,

I’ve had an apple watch 1 the original,
A series 2 and now a series 4,

None of them have given me more than 2 days battery life at a stretch,

I can get slightly more but not enough to say it made a difference.
But it realy depends on what you are doing in your day and what services / 
features on the watch you have running as they will burn up more battery life 
the more you have running at the time.

Especially with things like the Blood o2 meter as it has LED’s that tell you 
it’s working so they will add to the usage.

I have to admit that I never thought of an iWatch until now. The great medical 
sensors in iWatch six make it more appealing to me than previous watches.
However, I noticed that the apple conference in September 15 never mentioned 
anything about the battery life of this iWatch. Did anyone on this list buy it? 
If so, What do you think of its battery life? I appreciate any comments on this 
watch in general and battery life in particular.

That one sounds good, Simon. 

Last night, while in Bible study, I was the first caller on Zoom. While waiting 
for the meeting to start, I checked the time, and somehow or other, from that 
time until we were through, about an hour and 15 minutes later, VO kept 
announcing the time every minute. It was not obtrusive, and I didn't mind, so 
didn't shut it off or try to. I'm not sure what I did to get that started or 
what I would have had to do to get it stopped. 

The chimes for every 15 minutes, especially with different tones sound really

personally, I like timeChime. as one can turn it on and off as required easily, 
and rather than just every hour, you can select every 15, 30, or 60mins for the 
alerts. also you can select different sounds for the 15/45, 30, and hourly 
alerts, meaning that if you can't always take the phone out and look at the 
time, the different sounds will give you a good idea. I use it when I am out 
riding, as with the different sounds, it gives me a good way of telling how 
long I have been out, with out actually needing to take the phone out, or 
fiddle with a watch, whilst I have my hands occupied with lizzie's reins.
the app is completely accessible as well.

RE: Shipt, was Re: InstaCart App

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

We use Instacart most of the time, and the person who delivers our groceries 
has always been the same as the person who did the shopping.  We have been 
happy with the service.

We have also used Shypt, but only once so far.  This also worked out well, so 
no complaints regarding either service.

It has been our understanding that for Instacart, someone does the shopping and 
someone else does the delivery which we don't like. In shipt, the shopper 
completes the entire process from shopping to delivery.

I think Shipt is in my area, too, but I have never used it. How do the two apps 
compare, both from an accessibility point of view, and in general. Thanks for 
any opinions. 

As an aside, yesterday, somebody was lamenting the fact that in the IOS 13 mail

If you have a newer phone without a Home button, then tap to wake will wake the 
screen each time you touch it, which can be annoying especially if the phone is 
in your pocket. Not sure if it is on older phones like the 7 or 8. I suppose 
some may want to see their notifications by touching their phone screen but I 
don't need that, and it can drain the battery with constant triggers.

RE: containers and scroll bar

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

I have only ever used the containers navigation feature on my iPad.  As Richard 
says, that is where it seems most useful.

For example, if I open Settings on my iPad and then double tap on 
Accessibility, I would choose Containers from the rotor and then swipe down 
once which would land me on the Accessibility section.

Actually, it is the Rotor.
Containers seem to be most useful on an iPad.
The dock at the bottom of each screen is a container; the main part of the 
screen where your apps are is a container, so it is a particular section of a 
screen.
That's the best I can do for an explanation.
To add or remove things from the Rotor, open Settings, Accessibility, 
VoiceOver, Rotor.
Anything that says selected, will be on the rotor.
If you want to take something off the rotor, where it says something like 
Containers selected; double tap so it just says Containers and it will no 
longer be on the rotor.
The scroll Bar is a new thing that allows you to expose more of the screen.
HTH,

Hi Pam,

First thanks to James for taking the plunge in answering your email. Those 26 
instances of your email scared me a bit.

Anyway, the bird song identification app I use is "Chirp USA." It has a ton of 
birds and includes bird songs as well as calls. Also, there are good 
descriptions of the songs/call and links to other information about the bird 
for the Cornell ornithology site and Wikipedia.

Take care!

Accessible and Accurate Bird Song Identification App

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has found a good app for identifying birds by their 
song?  I have tried some that are not very accessible.  The one I did find 
mostly accessible does not seem to be very accurate as it will identify the 
same song as belonging to different birds at different times.

Thanks for any suggestions.
Pam

Accessible and Accurate Bird Song Identification App

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has found a good app for identifying birds by their 
song?  I have tried some that are not very accessible.  The one I did find 
mostly accessible does not seem to be very accurate as it will identify the 
same song as belonging to different birds at different times.

Thanks for any suggestions.
Pam

RE: Thinking of getting airpods and wondering what the differences are between the versions

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

This sums it up nicely.

I just wanted to add that I had gotten the original airpods before the new ones 
came out, and I have been perfectly happy with them.  The newer ones do have 
some good features, but I have no complaints about the ones I have and I use 
them a lot, although I have not tried them for conference calls.

The Airpod  Pros will be more expensive, about $100 more the last time I looked 
a few months ago. The Airpods look like wired ear buds without the cables, so 
there's no noise cancellation, active or passive. The Airpod Pros have the 
silicon tips that fit into your ear, so they do have passive noise 
cancellation. They also have active noise cancellation, as well as a 
transparency mode, which picks up environmental sounds through the microphones 
and transmits it through the Airpod Pros. Based on feedback I got from this 
list, I went with the Airpod Pros myself, and I don't regret it. I had coupons 
and gift cards to burn though, so I'm not sure I would have made the same 
choice if I were talking about my own money. Bottom line for me is that if you 
can afford them go with the Pros, but if price is a consideration, you might 
want to go with the Airpods instead.

RE: How to calm a dog during thunder storms, was RE: Lightning alert

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

I also thought that was one of the things the dog schools screened dogs for, 
but my husband and I have had three dogs, from Guiding Eyes and Seeing Eye, and 
all of them had a real fear of thunderstorms.  If we were outside somewhere and 
it started to thunder, my husband's first dog would just plant his feet and 
refuse to go any further.  He would turn around and go back home as fast as he 
could, but not go any further the other direction.

Columbia, Canada and that is also where I got my current dog in 2015.
My first and my current dogs are both yellow labs and my second one was a black

I've known several dog guide owners whose dogs were terrified of thunder storms.
Which school did yours come from?
Maybe they do a better job than some.

Thanks, Tom, and others who suggested how to include the tip when you initially 
place your order. That is obvious. My issue was changing it after the fact, 
which Pamela answered in her email, where she pointed out that you have to 
double tap on your name and then on your orders. Then you can find a change tip

RE: Changing the tip in the Instacart app

Hi Mary,

I am not totally sure how I have done this in the past, but I know I have.  

Try double tapping on your name in the app, and then again on "Your Orders".  
Then double tap on the date of your order and try the tip button there.  Sorry 
if this is where you are already trying this, but I think our last order was 
too long ago to try to see if it would let me adjust the tip.

RE: Mail

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

In addition to the below tricks, I also find that leaving one unread message at 
the top of the list will sometimes work.  If I delete messages below the top 
unread one, it will often, but not always, keep the focus in the right place.

Subject: Re: Mail

Hello,

Yes, this has been a very annoying bug throughout IOS 13. I too have reported 
it and hope it gets fixed. As to a workaround of sorts, I try one of these two 
things to help minimize the problem. Neither works consistantly but they can 
save a lot of swiping around.

1. Touching part way down. After deleting an email and ending up at the top of 
the screen, rather than swiping right to get back into the in-box list I just 
touch the screen part way down. While this usually doesn't get me back to the 
correct location in the list, it does get me close and saves a lot of swiping. 
I normally work with a bluetooth keyboard and find this touch method still 
saves a lot of extra steps. With a bluetooth keyboard, you can also just hold 
down the right arrow key and let it repeat. This quickly runs down the items in 
the in-box but I still prefer the touch approach.

2. Working backward. If I have a lot of unread emails in the in-box, I choose 
one part way down the list to open. On closing it, it usually becomes the top 
one on the in-box list. Instead of deleting it, I swipe back once to see the 
prior unread emailand I work on that one. Essentially I save all of my deletes 
until I have finished working on the unreads. Then, I double click the edit 
button, select all the emails I want to delete, find the delete or trash button 
at the bottom of the screen, and double tap. I receive a lot of email and I use 
a related technique to initially cut it down. I double tap the edit button and 
work my way down the in-box list, selecting each email whose subject line is 
not something I am interested in. Then I delete them as above.

As I say, these tricks do not work consistantly. One thing I have found to work 
consistantly is to delete an email while it is open. Make sure the rotor is set 
to "actions" and flick up to find delete. You can also find the "more 
actions"button at the bottom of the open email screen, double tap it, then find 
delete in there. Deleting this way will then open the next email for you 
without going back to the in-box screen. Deleting this way will effectively 
prevent working with email threads but it will keep the focus from jumping to 
the top of the in-box all the time.

Note - I refer here to working on an iphone. Email works slightly differently 
on an ipad and the focus problem does not appear to infect email on an ipad.

Good luck.

Hello all
i've just moved to the new SC from an iPhone 6 actually I had an interim phone

program on my new phone which Apple Accessibility has said is a bug. I'm 
wondering if anyone else is noticing it and if they found a workaround.
after I read a message and delete it I am thrown back to the very top of the 
page which says Gmail. From there I have to swipe down to get to the next 
message. It's not automatically keeping me where the messages are. It's  a 
nuisance to have to keep going from the top back down to wear the next unread 
message starts to be listed. I don't know  if collapsing the messages after 
reading or not makes any difference. Seems I've tried both and I still have 
this problem. Has anyone found a workaround or does anyone know what to do

Scanning Credit Card into Lyft App

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi,

Has anyone had any luck scanning a credit card into the payment area of the 
Lyft app?  It is supposed to scan it in automatically once you allow the app 
access to the camera, but I could not get it to do anything.

I ended up entering the info in manually, but just wondered if there were any 
tricks to getting the scan to work.

RE: Apple Watch Questions

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Thanks, Anna.  I had set it for 70 seconds, but I didn't realize that dropping 
my wrist would override that.

I don't know how others feel about this, but I really wish there would be an 
option to turn off the sounds with voiceover as there is on the phone.

Other than that, I am really liking my 5th gen watch.

Hi Pam,

I don't know of any way to turn off VoiceOver sounds or change how loud they 
are. To control how long the watch stays awake, open the Watch app on your 
phone, choose General, then Wake Screen. You have the options of it staying on 
for 15 or 70 seconds. Choose the option you want. The watch goes to sleep if 
you drop your wrist, so don't do that if you want it to stay awake.

Apple Watch Questions

Hi All,

I have a new Apple Watch 5th generation, and have a couple of questions.

First, is there a way to turn off the sounds or at least lower their volume 
when you move around the watch face with voiceover?

Second, it seems that if I am doing something in an app on the watch such as 
settings, and do not touch the watch face for just a few seconds, the watch 
goes to sleep.  Is there a way to make it stay awake longer without having to 
touch the screen so often?

Thanks,

Differences in Generations of Apple Watch

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

All,

I currently have a second generation watch and am looking at possibly 
upgrading.  Would it be worth considering the 4th generation rather than the 
5th if I can get it significantly cheaper, or are there enough improvements 
from the 4th to the 5th generation that this would not be a good idea?  I am 
assuming the 3rd generation would not be enough of an upgrade from the 2nd 
generation to warrant purchasing that.

Thanks for any input.

Hi Sieghard,
You explain it very well. I have had two guide dogs from Guiding Eyes for the 
Blind which is in New York. I just want to make one correction. I got my last 
guide from GEB in May of 2018. I understand that it now cost around $50,000 now 
to raise and train a guide dog.
So as you can see at that cost all the guide dog schools don't just hand out a 
guide dog to anyone. That is why you have to be tested and check out before you 
are granted permission to train to get a guide dog.

Dave, that Amazon comment was very ignorant and entirely inappropriate.
Kiruna is from India and you may want to remember that not everybody knows 
about everything.
I am in Canada and I get lots of people who ask me where I got my guide dog 
from, how much they are and if I have to pay for them.
And just in case this is something you didn't know, India is part of the 
Commonwealth just as Canada, Australia, Pakistan, Nigeria and other countries 
are so maybe it would be possible for somebody from a Commonwealth country 
where there is no guide dog school to apply to a guide dog school in another 
Commonwealth country and be accepted to get a dog. I am not saying this is so, 
but it is certainly possible.
I am in Canada yet I can apply at any US guide dog school to get a dog if I so 
choose even though we have several guide dog schools in Canada. My first dog 
was from Leader Dogs for the Blind in Rochester, Michigan and among the I think 
24 people who were there in my group to get dogs 4 came from Spain on some 
arrangement the Spanish government or maybe it was some sort of Spanish not for 
profit group had with Leader Dogs.

Since nobody explained to Kiruna what the usual process is to get a guide dog, 
I will do so in general terms.
You apply to a guide dog school, if it is the first time you get a dog from 
them they typically would visit you where you live, they would want to see your 
home and where you work (if you work) and they would also want to see you walk 
around with a cane or your previous guide dog if you currently have one to 
assess your mobility skills and so on.
If they accept you, they will at some point let you know when you can get a 
dog, some schools have fairly long waiting lists. Once you get the date you 
have to go to the school for typically a 3-week training course where you get 
to know your dog and your dog gets to know you. Walking with a guide dog 
requires training just as walking with a cane does and if you have never had a 
dog you have to of course learn how to care for the dog, this includes 
grooming, feeding and picking up the dog poop in a little plastic bag; I know, 
sounds shitty, but I shit you not.
After your course you get to take your dog home, some schools may also send a 
guide dog trainer home with you to do some more training in your own 
environment or some schools may ask you to come for a shorter course at the 
school and then you do more one-on-one training in your own city/town. In rare 
cases a trainer may even come to you and do the entire training with you in 
your city/town, but I think most schools would need a good reason to do this.
Most schools also like to follow up with you on an annual bases and they may 
send a trainer to do a walk with you and evaluate how things are going.
Keep in mind that when you get a dog that dog is not yours. I assume all 
schools are the same in this respect, but should you not care for the dog 
properly they do have the right to take it away from you and I have heard of a 
few cases where this was done.
As for the cost to train a dog, including breeding programs, puppy raising, 
training and after-care it is I believe around $30,000 or $35,000 US so 
actually buying a guide dog is not something most people could afford if the 
schools weren't not for profit organizations who are financed from donations, 
fund raising events, money bequeathed to them and so on. I believe in England 
the government is involved as well and in Germany the health insurance pays for 
guide dogs as well as for things like dog food, vet costs etc.

Lastly, remember the country where you live. How accepted are dogs there? I 
haven't been to India with or without a dog, but I did once take my guide dog 
to the Philippines where my wife is from.

RE: A Question to VoiceOver Uber Riders

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi Mark,

VoiceOver does speak the estimated time for me, but I have not yet upgraded to 
IOS 13, and have not updated the Uber app for a couple of weeks.

I would be interested to know if others are seeing this behavior either with 
IOS 13 and/or with the latest Uber update.  If so, I would not want to upgrade 
or update the app until that is fixed.

Sorry, I have no input on your second question as I have never tried that.

Subject: A Question to VoiceOver Uber Riders

Hello All,

The other day I scheduled an on-demand ride with Uber using iOS 13.x on my 8
Plus.

Try as I may, I could not get VoiceOver to read the estimated time of
pick-up, even though it was clearly being updated on the screen.  For
example, the display was saying 5 minutes away, 3 minutes, away, etc.

Question:  Am I missing something?  Can VoiceOver not read this area of the
display?  If not, it is quite a shame.

Perhaps there is an Apple Watch complication that will update as the car
gets closer to the pickup location?

Question 2:
Has anyone been able to schedule a ride, in advance, say 2 hours in the
future, using the Uber app for iOS?

I have read, on the Uber website that this is a feature of the app but, try
as I may, I cannot get the feature to display, either with or without
VoiceOver being enabled.The only way, so far, that I can even see the
feature is to logon to the Uber website, itself; and I have no intention of
using the website to schedule rides, if I can avoid it.

All replies greatly appreciated.

Mark

RE: Accessible and on the level service for buying lottery tickets online?

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Interesting question.  I think this may be difficult to find.  When we order 
from our local grocery store using Instacart, we aren't allowed to request that 
they bring lottery tickets as part of the order.  I'm not sure why, but there 
you go.  You would think it should be possible for a third party to do this, 
but I am not aware of a way.

I don’t know his exact and particular day to day circumstances other than he’s 
a bachelor, but I guess physically going to pick one up consistently or as 
frequently as he’d like isn’t an option for him.
For those who live in So Cal and are familiar with the area, he lives in San 
Bernardino which isn’t the most welcoming or safest place to be wandering 
around either.
Not to be throwing his business all out there, but his vision loss is 
progressive. I suppose previously he had enough sight to get by, but now…
Anyway, thought I’d do a friend a solid and ask around.

I assume the fact that he is asking friends or family to buy for him means he 
doesn’t like to or is not able to go out himself? There are a lot of places 
where you can buy a lottery ticket, here in Canada at most drug stores, 
7-Eleven stores etc.

Hello list,
So not for me, but rather a friend who is visually impaired. He’s tired of 
asking friends/family to buy him a lottery ticket and being told that it’s out 
of their way or they don’t’ have time etc. I don’t really play so have never 
looked into anything like this, so I told him I’d ask in case anyone plays 
lotto and how they buy their tickets.
I think I’ve heard of online lotto ticket buying services in the past, but 
again, never paid it much mind.
Does anyone on here play? This is for California. I don’t know if he plays the 
state lotto or just powerball or whatever, but I guess to be on the safe side, 
something that covers the national and California  super lotto games. 
Trustworthy, accessible and on the level and all that.
If so, what service do you use? I think he’s got an iPhone so if there’s an iOS 
app that can accomplish the same it would be good to know as well.

Thanks,

Since I got a complaint about the long list of email recipients and since I’m 
still not sure if this is a hoax or not, I’m sending the text of the message I 
received earlier in my inbox.  If it is a hoax I apologize in advance.
 God bless!

The day we've been waiting for is finally here.







Aira is free everywhere and at any time.







Let that sink in For a moment!







Aira. Is. Free.







Starting today, you can make short calls to Aira agents for free, everyday.

So whenever you are doing those small daily tasks where a little information 
can save a lot of time, we've got you covered.







We know, we can't hardly believe it ourselves!







There is no catch. So long as the call is relatively quick (5 minutes), its 
free. Just make sure you have the latest version of the app on your phone.

As this is the early version of the service, we ask for some patience if you 
come across any hiccups, along the way, or if we end up making some minor 
tweaks further down the line. We are so excited to get this out into the world 
that we just couldn't wait any longer! The important thing is to remember that 
Aira is free now and will always be free.







Want to learn more?







The best way to learn is to Use the Aira app and connect with an agent-you can 
aske all of your questions and it won't cost you a thing. If you are not on a 
plan, that's great! You can now make short calls for free to Aira agents every 
day and everywhere. You're no longer limited to using Aira in just access 
locations or with access offers (those are still good to use if you want to do 
something that will take more time, like explore a museum.







If you are on a plan







That's great too! You can use your daily free short calls to help make your 
plan minutes stretch further. As the first (5 minutes) are free.







Connect with an agent now and start saving time. You have nothing to lose - 
literally!
