RE: Apple TV Questions/Considerations?

2017-12-17 Thread Simon Fogarty
I find that really interesting 

I have had the last three versions of the apple tv and I can't say I've been 
upset by the lack of so called accessibility 
We don't get a lot of audio description with new Zealand tv shows unless you 
purchase a set top box which is a free view system that costs a lot more than 
apple tv does 
Also needs to be in a number of cases setup using non English language and 
region settings,
 Where as I plug in and setup my apple tv using voiceover and by my self,
 I down load the apps and content I wish to have 
And movies I purchase or rent off itunes allow me to have AD if the movie has 
that feature enabled.

Hello, personally I do not recommend Apple TV. while it has some good parts, 
like out of the box accessibility, there are some bad parts too. In my 
experience of using Apple TV, both third and fourth generation, whilst there 
were lots of content available, the majority of them were not audio described, 
apart from what's available on Netflix and uk based BBC iPlayer. I also thought 
the paid subscription services from both uk based TV Player and Now TV were 
also a waste of money. As a result, I have now gone back to free to air 
television where most, but not all, programs feature audio description, and 
there is no cost other than an annual TV license which is required to watch and 
record live television as well as using BBC iPlayer, including downloading and 
streaming on demand content.

Re: Bug when entering phone numbers in contacts on Mac

2017-12-17 Thread E.T.
   I was directed to an option that will resolve this. In VO Utility, 
General, look at the modifier key settings. There are 3 choices.


1. ctrl-option
2. capslock
3. ctrl-option or capslock

   I chose #3.. This allows you to use either option as the VO keys. 
Very nice.

Actually, not very many Amazon Prime shows have audio description. For those 
that do, audio description is automatically switched on. For people who look at 
the ACB list, most of the shows on said list are not included in the Prime 
line-up. They cost extra to watch in Amazon Prime.

Hi Christopher, 

Are you in the UK? I don’t know if that makes a difference or not. For the time 
being at least, I don’t intend to get rid of my Fios TV option. So, are you 
saying that if say, Fios offers programs that are described for blind viewers, 
then Apple TV over-rides that and the descriptions are not available? That 
would be a game changer for me.

Re: Apple TV Questions/Considerations?

2017-12-17 Thread christopher hallsworth
Hello, personally I do not recommend Apple TV. while it has some good parts, 
like out of the box accessibility, there are some bad parts too. In my 
experience of using Apple TV, both third and fourth generation, whilst there 
were lots of content available, the majority of them were not audio described, 
apart from what's available on Netflix and uk based BBC iPlayer. I also thought 
the paid subscription services from both uk based TV Player and Now TV were 
also a waste of money. As a result, I have now gone back to free to air 
television where most, but not all, programs feature audio description, and 
there is no cost other than an annual TV license which is required to watch and 
record live television as well as using BBC iPlayer, including downloading and 
streaming on demand content.

My recommendation for a Twitter client for iOS and macOS

2017-12-17 Thread christopher hallsworth
Hi M Taylor and all
I am hearing reports that you are having trouble activating links using the 
latest official client from Twitter on your iOS device. Well I have a personal 
recommendation. Try the paid app Twitterrific which seems to be very popular 
amongst not only the blind community but also the sighted from what I am 
reading on Twitter using that exact client. The reason I put "macOS" in the 
subject is Twitterrific as of recently is also available on that platform and 
is just as accessible as the iOS counterpart.
Happy tweeting!

Re: Bug when entering phone numbers in contacts on Mac

2017-12-17 Thread Jonathan Cohn
Very interestingly, I do not encounter this with phone numbers but I do 
encounter it with e-mail addresses. I did change my card template 4-5 years ago 
so perhaps the order of items in the address card makes a difference. Also 
seems to behave a bit better (at least when cursor tracking is on) if one uses 
the tab key instead of the VO keys to navigate to fields. 

For reference, my address card has First Name, Last Name , Company , Department 
 , Work number , home number, mobile phone number, home email… 

I wonder if the card is not scrolling, and so we are entering information in an 
off screen area.

Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Re: Slide to power off.

2017-12-17 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu
Oh, thank you very much.  I have learnt something new today as I thought we had 
to slide and power off also.  I do double tap it generally and never thought 
that slide was a sighted thing!

I am still amazed that I can use Face ID, it still makes me laugh.

Kawal.

RE: Slide to power off.

2017-12-17 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi Kawal,

It's the same message the sighted get, they can slide, we just double tap 
Or in yor x now if you want to take a few seconds more to turn off the phone,
Go in to settings, general and then the very last option of the general 
settings is shut down 

 And again it's a double tap on the power off button.

Hi.

This is a question to all I phone 10 users.

When you want to power off the I phone it says slide to power off.  I would 
like to know how to slide please?  I've tried sliding to the right, up and down 
and to the left and the phone doesn't power off.  I then double tap it and it 
goes off.  I don't think I've ever been able to slide the power button to off 
on an I phone using voice over.

Many thanks.

Kawal.
