Setting up a Demo smart plug.

2022-09-09 Thread Jessica Moss
I didn’t ever see myself getting one of these things, however, someone ended up 
giving me a 2-pack of them they were selling at a yardsale a friend of mine and 
I happened to have stopped at.  However, since I know nothing about which one I 
currently have, and within the app, it wants me to select from several of them, 
the only thing I know, is that it has a large round button on top with the 
outlet beside it, so I’m only guessing I’ve selected the correct unit when 
trying to set the thing up.
  Also, when selecting it in settings/wifi, then connecting it to home, I’m 
trying to scan it with my camera to finish setting it up that way, but I’m only 
going to guess this can’t be done easily if at all via Voiceover, since I get 
no feedback when the thing is in focus.  Has anyone had any luck setting one of 
these things up without needing sighted assistance?

Re: Good accessible apps

2022-09-09 Thread Maurice Mines
Hello everyone, I have two questions. I am trying to decide if I should go back 
to put in the Internet sit already on my Mac. Because the amount of 
questionable emails has skyrocketed in the last month or so. This please need 
to question number two, what products would be good? Because it seems everybody 
is an Internet security company.

I’ve read things about her past, but I don’t like the fact that it tells you 
with every email this message has been scammed by a boss. Also, I sent a lot of 
attachments. And I’ve read that about Dustin‘s to those attachments on the Mac. 
Any advice?

Just be aware that I am dictating this to my phone. So hopefully it is 
readable. Also, please be aware that my signature is just to show that I am 
sending the message from my phone. this message is personal, has nothing to do 
with the national Federation of the blind, or the national Federation of the 
blind duck blind division.

Please be aware that when leaving me a voicemail, I cannot hear traditional

Re: Good accessible apps

2022-09-09 Thread Herbie Allen
This list might be a better resource than Applevis when it comes to the Mac. 
For instance, I wanted recommendations for a good FTP app. Applevis had an 
entry that was several  years old and quite frankly, not that good. I asked on 
one of these lists and got much better  results. Also, keep in mind that there 
are less Mac App  store apps than third party ones, and so you could be talking 
about an impossible resource list.

   Most everyone is good about posting their replies at the top. Makes 
it easy to read such replies. Not so easy when a reply is buried

   Can you be more specific as to what you are looking for? It would be 
difficult to maintain a list of accessible apps but AppleVis may be a

I'm not aware of a list, but searching for reviews at applevis.com 
related to the kind of software you're looking for would be a good 
starting point.
