Re: The Native iOS Maps App Provides Excellent Intersection Announcements, But .

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Mark,


That's why I love Nearby Explorer. I turn off points of interest when 
I'm in a car, but I turn them back on when I walk. I'll have to try that 
tomorrow with Maps. I've been wary of that app since the initial problem 
with wrong data in the mapping.

Hello All,

I was just experimenting with the native iOS Maps app today and, as many of
you already know, if one sets the tracking feature to, "On+Heading", then
places VoiceOver focus on the, "My Location", area of the screen, as one
travels down a road, cross street names and intersection info is quite
accurately announced.

In fact, I enjoy this feature so much so that I am beginning to use the Maps
app instead of Seeing Eye GPS or Nearby Explorer, when merely traveling down
a street, with no particular destination in mind.

There is, however, kind of a drawback in using the Maps app for intersection
announcements, as least as far as I am concerned; said drawback being that,
in addition to accurately providing intersection information, such as the
names of cross streets, Maps also continuously announces points-of-interests
as they are passed.  For me, this is too much information, especially when
traveling in a vehicle as the announcements become somewhat cluttered.  My
personal preference would be to have intersection/cross street
announcements, only.

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable POI announcements in Maps?

If POI announcements could be disabled, in the scenario I have described
above, then the native iOS Maps app could quite easily make it possible for
those of us who are visually challenged to enjoy basic GPS navigation
without having to incur additional cost by purchasing third-party GPS
navigation solutions.

I hope that those of you who participate in the iOS beta program will pass
this topic and suggestion along to Apple developers.

Thank you,

Mark

Siri and YouTube

[ben J. Bloomgren]

Hey all,

Have you guys noticed lately, that Siri will not open the app for YouTube? I've 
tried it under iOS on my iPhone 6s as well as under tvOS 10 on my AppleTV 
fourth-generation. On the latter, it just won't do it. It will say something 
like, sorry, I don't know what you mean. Under iOS, it throws me to the YouTube 
homepage in Safari. Have you guys experienced this, and do you know what's 
going on? If I want to go to the YouTube app itself, I literally have to say, 
open YouTube app.

Creating swarm venues in iOS

[ben J. Bloomgren]

Hello all,

For those of you who may be familiar with swarm, which used to be known as 
foursquare, you check in to various venues, such as the house, bar, courthouse 
or whatever. You get points for checking in, venues that you check in with 
friends, and other such items. But, they must have changed out how you create a 
venue. Does anyone know how to add a venue to foursquare? For example, back in 
the day, I added a venue for my aunts house in Texas. She was not a foursquare 
user, so she did not create a venue. At that time, I went into the website to 
do this. I could've sworn, however, that iOS had an ability to do that as well.

Smart thermostat with Amazon Alexa

Casts question

[ben J. Bloomgren]

Hello all,

Has any of you used pocket casts for iOS? Once downloaded, voiceover will 
simply call it Casts. If so, how do you sort podcasts? Right now, they appear 
in the order in which I added them. Since I have a ton of podcasts, that means 
that things that start with a might be next to things that start with Q. Is 
there a way around this?

Re: Machine translation software for the mac

I had forgotten about that translation widget. it does work pretty well. 
The only reason why I don't make more use of it is that it's limited in 
the number of languages which are available to it. if yall know of a way 
to increase those, I'll use it more. Thanks for reminding me about that.

Hit F12 and if dashboard comes up then use VoiceOVer window  list and 
you should be able to find a translation widget.

the concept of overburning, but I'm not even touching that one.  LOL!  
Even then, I couldn't do it to the extreme this would have to be done, 
so there went that idea out the window.
Basically, what I'm therefore seeking is an easy way to take this 
file, and split it into 2 mp3 files both of which would be less than 
80 minutes. Ideally, I'd like the first disc to be around 78 minutes.  
I know I have up to 80, but I'd rather leave just a bit of wiggle room 
to insure no disc writing errors along the way. Then, what ever is 
left over could go on the 2nd CD.
I know I could do this with ProTools, but then I have to create a 
whole session, take that mp3 import it into the session, edit it down, 
bounce it out, take the same mp3, make another session, import the mp3 
again, edit it to the second half, bounce it out... you get the 
idea... it's tedious, and annoying.
One may say, that's just part of audio engineering.  Yeah, you're 
right.  It is.  I'll give that one to ya, but is there not maybe a 
program that could split it at a marker point a bit more quickly and 
easily?  I don't have Amadeus Pro, but I suppose I could buy it, if 
you all think it would help.  I'm a little low this month, but if I've 
gotta do it, I've gotta do it.
I also do have Logic Pro X, but I'd really really rather not go that 
route, as to me, Logic is very confusing.  It's doable, but it's 
definitely not for the faint of heart.
Before anyone asks, why not use Garageband, I guess I could, but 
again, that would involve a lot of importing, bouncing, reimporting, 
rebouncing, etc.  I just want something open the original file, jump 
to 78 mins even, select from there to the end of the file, and delete, 
savbe that file with a different name, reopen the original file, go to 
78 mins even, select from there to the beginning of the file, delete, 
save the file with another name for the second half, and boom.  
Mission accomplished.

Is there not something that would make it that easy?
Chris.

Re: Timer in iOS Camera?

Lulu Hartgen did a podcast on AppleVis about SelfieX.

I don’t know the answer to the timer question, but another solution is 
an app called SelfieX.  It’s designed to use the back camera and give 
you verbal instructions on positioning it right.  When it’s in the

accessibility issues but I just snapped a picture with the latest

Re: A Call To Action: Please Join Me in Requesting that VoiceOver Accessibility be Restored to StoCard, The Rewards Card App for iOS

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

I emailed the devs. This sounds like a great app. Can you do it by phone 
number? I went about it from the angle of, well, dang it! I just heard 
about your app, but this review discourages me.

Hello Everyone,

With the latest release of Stocard, the rewards card app, VoiceOver
accessibility has been broken/lost.

Please join me in requesting that VoiceOver accessibility be restored.

First, I will provide the methods by which you may send your requests.

Second, I will paste in my bug report, which you are free to use either in
its entirety or in part.

Third, below my signature, I will paste in the iTunes description of the
app.

1.
The email address for the developer of this app is:

If you prefer, you may submit a support request by visiting the developer's
website at:
https://stocard.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/200497272-Stocard-on-iPhone
and simply click the Submit a Request button.

The iTunes URL to the app, which will allow you to both download the app
and/or simply write a review is:

The Review I posted in the App Store and via email is as follows:

[BEGIN REVIEW]
Subject:
This Version Has Broken VoiceOver Accessibility

Body Text:
Hello,

I am so sad to report that with the latest release of StoCard, VoiceOver,
Apple's software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision, has
been broken.  In this latest version, it is not possible to select a rewards
card from the main screen via VoiceOver.

I fervently implore the developers of this marvelous tool to restore
VoiceOver accessibility, as soon as possible, so that all iOS users, sighted
and non-sighted alike, can enjoy its features.

Mark
[END REVIEW]

Finally, speaking as a frequent shopper, and consequently huge fan of this
tool, I would greatly appreciate your support on this.

Thank you all,

Mark

Stocard - Rewards Cards Wallet
By Stocard

Description

Featured as one of the best apps of the year by Apple in Europe and now
available in the US!

Store ALL your rewards cards in one app on your iPhone - with Stocard. Get
rid of all the plastic cards in your wallet! FREE!

Wall Street Journal: "a clever way of turning a smartphone into a virtual
wallet"
Techcrunch: "a simple but clever take on the mobile
phone-as-loyalty-card-wallet"

FAST:
The built in high-tech-camera scanner enables you to add loyalty cards
within seconds.
Have your phone's screen scanned for a faster transaction at properly
equipped stores*.

EASY TO USE:
No registration necessary, start using Stocard right after downloading.
Choose from over 400 preset loyalty cards.

Several stores still use outdated scanner technologies (laser or flatbed
scanners instead of image scanners). These scanners unfortunately cannot
read smartphone displays. In this case simply ask the cashier to type in
your loyalty card number manually.

CARDS IN WALLET:
Add any card in Stocard with a QR code to Wallet.

Re: Some questions about BlindSquare

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Swarm is now what Foursquare was. You need to log into Swarm first as 
far as I can tell. Foursquare itself has become more of a competitor to 
Yelp and such. That may be the problem. You need Swarm. I love using the 
Swarm/Foursquare features within Blindsquare, as I'm a common Swarm 
user. I love to use Swarm venues because it makes superfluous the need 
to hunt down addresses.

manual, though I don’t remember seeing them addressed. Any help would be truly 
appreciated.

1.  The BlindSquare manual says that you can use several different third-party 
apps in conjunction with BlindSquare.  I am wondering if these apps need to be 
running in the background, or does BlindSquare automatically grab information 
from them and present the info within a BlindSquare Dialogue box.  In other 
words, would I go into a settings menu somewhere and pick what third-party app 
BlindSquare would interrogate?  I really like Google Maps on my iPhone, and I’d 
like to use its capabilities with BlindSquare.  In all likelihood, I probably 
need to have Google Maps running simultaneously with BlindSquare, but I just 
want to make sure.

2.  In order to take full advantage of the FourSquare features available in 
BlindSquare, do I need to register with FourSquare?

Thanks to all,

I would love to become a cord cutter, and so would my mom, and go 
Apple TV all the way exclusively.  The problem however is, I can't 
cancel my cable TV unless I know that there are ways I can get these 
shows I normally watch through my Apple TV.
I tried the Sling TV app on the Apple TV, but it's not very accessible

their IPad/IPhone app is a worthless piece of shit! Pardon the

anything to make it more accessible.  Plus, they're flat out refusing

Here is a list of the shows, Dr. Phil being one of the main ones, 
which I really need to be able to access.  I don't usually have the 
money it would take to keep buying these shows on ITunes or wherever 
else.  I would rather just get them through a subscription.  BTW, as 
far as I can tell, neither Netflix nor Hulu have all of these shows.  
I'd be willing to use multiple app/subscriptions, but I just need the 
assurance I could get all of these with absolutely no exception.  
Right now, I just record them in DVR, but accessibility wise, even 
that's! somewhat problematic.


  * Dr. Phil
  * Forensic Files
  * Cops
  * Trauma, life in the E.R
  * The Critical Hour
  * Parametics
  * Untold Stories of the E.R
  * Sex Sent me to the E.R
  * Mystory Diagnosis
  * Dr. G, Medical Examiner
  * Not required, but  preferably, reruns of Full House
  * Not required, but preferably reruns of Family Matters
  * Not required, but preferably reruns of Rescue 9 1 1.

That pretty much would do it.
Again, the absolute main one if you don't suggest anything for any of 
these titles, at the very very very least, please try helping me find 
a way to get my Dr. Phil.  I can't be without that show!  I'm a sold 
die hard fanatic.  So much so, if i ever get a chance to be in the L.A 
area, you're darn straight I'm gonna try to go be in the audiance.  
Darn straight!  I'd kill! to have that experience!

Anyway, any suggestions? Especially with that show?
Chris.

Re: Getting rid of cable (was Netflix)

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Being that this is Mac Visionaries, I'll throw it back to Apple. 
Ricardo, you mentioned HBO. I have HBO Now, and I just got Amazon Prime 
again. I don't know how extensive HBO Now is, because my parents 
subscribe to HBO via our cable provider, but the HBO Now app works 
wonderfully on the Apple TV 4. I haven't looked at Hulu, but it looks 
pretty good.

Hi All,

I think the death of cable as we known it all these years has definitely 
started. But its going to be a long, agonizing death. lol. Netflix, Amazon, 
Hulu, and possibly Apple in the very near future will be speeding up this death 
though. I’m going to go ahead and add HBO to that mix as well, now that it is 
possible to purchase a stand alone subscription to their network. Its all about 
that original content, and how we all consume media/entertainment/news now. 
Just 10 years ago, we basically sat around, and waited for network execs, 
newspaper editors, and program directors at radio stations to tell us what was 
news worthy, a great TV show, and the next hot song for the summer. Terrestrial 
radio? Totally irrelevant. They basically just play what is getting the most 
hits on youtube, and look at what is topping the iTunes charts to create their 
playlists. They don’t discover/break new music anymore. Newspapers? Dead as 
dead can be. With twitter, facebook, blogs, and google to hold that all 
together, they are pretty much relegated as social media aggregators. I think 
this is a very good thing. Too few telling us a narrow version of world and 
current events was never a great thing.

Cable is just the last domino to fall. And all though it started with TV, look for 
broadband to be the real tipping factor. You mentioned you keeping your broadband 
cable connection because its the best around.  Now, in 3 to 5 years when 5G is a 
reality for most of us in the U.S. and Europe, and VZ, T-mobile, or At&T start 
offering $30 a month wireless broadband packages for the home, with real world 
speeds approaching 100mb down/up? Oh man! In Big cities Like NYC Detroit, Dallas, 
this won’t have a huge impact. But for those who live in rural, out of the way 
places? Where fiber ends 2 miles out side your town, and your using DSL in 2016, 
and paying $50 a month for the dubious privilege? Cable is in trouble. People are 
going to start doing the math and saying, wait. So I can get a little box, plug it 
in to my outlet, and get fast internet? No person drilling holes in my walls, and 
staying on hold waiting for an excuse about a downed line 25 miles away affecting 
my service? And for less too? Sign me up. And, When I go to the in-laws, I can just 
bring my little box with me? Like my Apple TV, or chrome cast?

I think the cable people just lack the foresight. Being the King of the hill 
for 30 years will do that though.

Hey Scott,

I felt exactly like you do.  My husband had been wanting to cut the chord for a 
long time, and I was the one dragging my feet.  But now that we've done it, I 
don't miss it much at all.  There are some shows I miss like Diners and Dives 
and Restaurant Impossible, but that's about it.  And we've discovered new shows 
that we like that we probably would never have discovered if we'd just been 
able to put the Food Network on and let it run all night. :)

It is different, though.  If you want to watch TV, you can't just pick up the remote and 
surf around.  Now, we decide what we want to watch and then access it.  You can surf on 
Netflix, and probably other sources like Hulu as well, but you surf through lists of 
shows, not channels.  It's funny, my husband will occasionally still ask, "What's on 
TV tonight?" and I have to remind him, it's whatever we decide to put on. :)  
Neither my husband nor I ever got our news from television, so that wasn't an issue for 
us.

Our cost savings is probably around $80 per month, and we had a basic cable 
package.  Our internet is still cable, and they offer the best service in our 
area, so it's likely to stay that way for a while.  I know other people who 
save less, because they took the same money they were spending on cable, and 
just put it into subscriptions, Hulu, etc.  Whichever way you go, I have to say 
that not only is it nice to be saving that money, it's also just nice not to be 
paying for all that really bad TV--in my opinion, most of what your cable gets 
you is a load of .

So, I'm glad we did it.  My suggestion would be to keep track of what shows you 
get from cable that you actually value.  Then figure out whether those same 
shows are available through another mechanism--don't rule out purchasing them 
if you really like them.  I'm a huge Big Bang Theory fan for example.  That 
isn't available on Netflix, so I just purchased my favorite seasons on iTunes.  
My guess is that you won't have too much that you get from your cable company 
that you couldn't get more

Re: Why Is The Mac Better Than Windows?

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Scott and all,


if you don't mind my asking, how is Braille the weak point of OSX? I'll 
have to vehemently disagree with you hereon, and here's why.



I have an older Focus 40 USB Braille display, and I took it down to 
North Carolina when I visited Chris Gilland a few years ago. He was 
thinking about acquiring a Macintosh computer himself, so he wanted to 
see how Braille works on OSX with Voiceover.



I had been in Windows since Christmas of 1997, when I received a 
computer from my family. It was running Jaws 3.0, and I was using a 
hardware Doubletalk PC. Yeah, that was back in em air days, Sunny? LOL!



I had become accustomed to plugging in the display, not getting much 
screen reader feedback save for the fact that Windows sees the display. 
if it's the first time, then of course Windows tries to pull the drivers 
et alia. Then, I'd have to locate the Braille settings to the screen 
reader and tell it to use the display. Then and only then, I'm live. Not 
with OSX that is, says Yoda.



We plugged that mother into Chris's macBook. It had never seen this 
display a day in its freaking life. I heard the little da-boong sound 
that Voiceover makes when a Braille display is plugged in, and I was in! 
it was trippy. Literally instantaneously, we were using Braille on OSX. 
I was floored! Then when I heard that OSX Lion would bring the genie out 
of the bottle in terms of languages, I was raring to go, and so was my 
Mid 2010 white stock polycarbon MacBook! NVDA is amazing with Braille. 
Jaws has a ways yet to go, and I don't know about Satogo or Window-Eyes. 
OSX takes the cake hands down in terms of Braille support.

Every time I boot the Windows machine, which is slowly becoming more and more

Re: Why Is The Mac Better Than Windows?

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Mike,


Here's an example of why interacting is a genius idea from Apple.


I use Wikipedia multiple times per day. Have you noticed that most 
Wikipedia articles have a table near the top of the page which gives 
information about whatever the article will be? For example, if you type 
in Arizona Diamondbacks, it may give information such as founding date, 
home stadium, uniform colors, manager, GM etc. But, I couldn't give a 
rip about the founding date, who the GM is or any of that right now. I 
just wanna find out when they last won the NL West. In Windows, I have 
not found a way with any screen reader to bypass the table. Yes, you 
could use that keystroke which bypasses links, but that doesn't preclude 
a lot in those tables. You could navigate by headings, but you'll have 
to hit CTRL+up arrow until you get to the information in the blurb which 
most articles put before the table of contents. In OSX, be I in Safari, 
Chrome, Lightning or whatever, if I have it set the way I do, Voiceover 
will just say "table", but it shan't enter thereinto. If I just VO right 
arrow, I'm past that table, and I'm down into the article's contents 
themselves. I've found that the web is where interacting really shines.

I have seen several people write to say that I can change something so

it to be much better this way?  If not, tell me how to fix it so that, 
at least temporarily, I don't have to do it.


Yes, I do have a track pad.  I am glad to have it, it is somewhat 
similar to my iPhone, and when I get everything together, it will be 
the closest I will have become to being able to use a mouse,as well as 
keyboard commands.  When I am use to everything, I expect I will use 
both keyboard and track pad, getting the best of both worlds.

I have been messing around with my new Mac Mini over the weekend. I 
have the two books, Everything You Need To Know To Use The Mac With 
El Capitan And Voice Over, by Janet Ingber, and Mastering The 
Macintosh With Voice Over, by Tim Sniffen.I thoroughly expected not 
to know what I am doing for a while, at the moment, that is an 
understatement. I have it set up, thanks to Mr. Sniffen's book, Ms. 
Ingber seems to assume one will have sighted help to do that. I have 
been with windows since 2000, and Jaws 3.5. I still have Jaws, 
having bought, last December, the SMA through version 19. I have to 
figure out, by July 5, whether I want to take the Mac back to the 
Apple store to get my money back. So far, it seems like a bunch of 
incredible tedium to get things done, as compared to Windows. The 
track pad helps, it makes it a little more like my iPhone 6, that I 
love. Getting things done on the iPhone never seemed to have nearly 
the tedium as does the Mac,even when my iPhone 5 was new to me. For 
example, having to interact with things, rather than just hitting 
enter when I want to do something, or press two or three keys at the 
same time to get VoiceOver to do something, I have no doubt that I 
can learn it, but My nagging question during my 14 days is going to

Re: How Often Would I Need A Numb Pad

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

if you're doing specialized work, such as recording, audio production 
etcetera, then you definitely will need a numpad as far as I've heard. 
I, on the other hand, have a full wired keyboard with a numpad, and I 
keep it tied to my Dell Inspiron E1505, which is running the deprecated 
OS, Windows XP! That is to say, I really haven't missed the numpad on OSX.

Multiconvert

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Hi all,


Back in the day, I used to use a very sweet app called Multiconvert. It 
converted just about everything. It rivaled 
http://www.onlineconversion.com if that tells you anything. Well, as far 
as I can tell, that app has been deprecated and isn't available anymore. 
What do you use for conversions, such as currencies, mass, weight, force 
etc.?

Re: Latest itunes and manual refresh of podcasts

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

For me, the refresh all podcasts is still down toward the bottom of the 
screen. It's one VO+right arrow from the episodes table. I love that 
they don't put unplayed at the top of the table, because it lets me get 
more quickly to the podcasts. I have tons upon tons of podcasts in 
there, so for me that's an improvement.

Hello,
I am running El Capitan 10.11.5 and the latest version of iTunes.
I have manual refresh as the default for all my podcasts, mainly so that I can 
control when they are refreshed and hence stop podcast download interfering 
with Apple TV playing of iTunes content.
In the previous version of iTunes the first entry in the podcasts table was 
unplayed podcasts and if you selected that you could press a button after the 
episodes table which you could press to refresh all your podcasts.
I cannot find the unplayed item in the podcasts table or the refresh podcasts 
button with the current version of itunes and it therefore seems that I have to 
individually refresh each of my 30 or so podcasts.
Does anyone know how to easily manually refresh all podcasts?
Many thanks.

Re: A Question Regarding Twitter Hash Tags

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

You know, Mark, I have wondered how people do that. I've heard of 
contests wherein the winner tweets using a hashtag. I just looked in 
Tweetings for iOS, and I don't see it there either. A lot of companies 
use Tweetdeck, but I haven't found that that app was really any good. it 
was clunkier more so than it was inaccessible.

Hello,

I am cross posting this.

Can anyone recommend a good VoiceOver accessible iOS app that allows one to
either follow or be notified of updates to a hash tag?

As it currently stands in the Native iOS Twitter app, while one can search
for hash tag items, it is not possible to save that search or follow the
hash tag.

By following the hash tag, I mean that I would, at best, be notified when
others post using that hash tag or, at worst, be able to save the hash tag
as a search so that I do not need to retype it in, again.

Now I have Twitterific but, as far as I can tell, it does not allow for hash
tag push notifications.

Chenelle,


I haven't used a Braille Edge, but I can tell you that Voiceover's 
Braille support is bloody amazing. I took an old Pac Mate BX Braille 
display which is USB, and I plugged it into my Mid 2010 stock white 
polycarbon MacBook, and that mother sang like a meadowlark in 
springtime! It was trippy. Coming from Windows and Jaws or NVDA, I 
became an instant fan of an operating system whose name I had formerly 
parodied as Macintrash or Crappintosh! Gone are them days!



I can't speak specifically to your display, but you'll be in for a treat 
as per my experience.

Hello everyone,
This is Chenelle,
It's been a long time since I posted on here. On my birthday which is June 1 I 
will be receiving a new MacBook Pro laptop computer along with the braille edge 
40 refreshable braille display. I wanted to know how well did both devices work 
together using it in conjunction with VoiceOver?
Thank you so much and have a great day.

Re: Hermes Update Possibly Fixes Login Problems

Uh, it's been a while, but I think that http://www.macupdate.com has it. 
I could be wrong though.

Re: Consistently degrading lightning cables

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Okay, I have not seen it happen in a couple of months, but the cable 
which originally came with my old iPhone Five did degrade to the point 
at which I was scared that I'd get shocked or it'd mess up the phone in 
some way. The chord to my iPhone Six S hasn't seemed to do that yet, but 
I'm paranoid due to my previous experience. Chris, you may have an 
aberration, but Apple does need to rethink the Lightning chords, if they 
want to maintain their proprietary ways.


Ben

On 5/13/2016 16:22, Christopher-Mark Gilland wrote:

OK, I wonder if anyone else is having, or has had this problem.
Over the years, I've bought quite a few devices that use lightning 
cables.  Anything from my old IPhone 5, 5S, 6Plus, 6S, a few Apple TV 
4's, etc.
Point is, after about 2 or 3, if I'm lucky, months roughly, it seems 
like the end of the insolation right where the lightning connector is 
that goes into the device, that area seems to keep getting cut/torn. 
Usually it's not so bad that the cable stops working, but it's bad 
enough that it definitely has the potential that at any moment, it 
could get worse.  I have one cable now which is almost 98% sebbered 
all the way through both the insolation and the actual wire itself.  
It's pretty pathetic.  It seems like most all my cables eventually are 
getting to this point, and I swear, I'm not misusing them.  I'm just 
plugging them in, and unplugging them as normal.
Apparently, I'm by far not the first person who's had this issue.  If 
you just Google online, you'll find lots of forums and blogs, etc. of 
people who've had the same issue quite regularly.  So apparently, it 
must not be just me.
Is it just these things are really badly designed?  I'm on hold right 
now waiting for Apple to pick up to see if maybe they can replace a 
few of these chords, but I'm not very hopeful.  They might, but I'm 
not counting on it.
I'm just wonderring if any of you guys have also found your cables 
tearing, getting cut, or worse on a consistent basis right at the tip 
of the cord like I am.  If so, what are you all doing to get around 
this, so you don't have to keep buying cord after cord after cord 
every few months.  This alone is starting to make me reconsider iOS 
devices.  At least, ones with lightning connecters.
Lightning's great, but the cords appear to be crap in my opinion based 
soly on what I so far have observed.  Again, that's stated as an 
opinion, not a fact.  Keep that in mind.

Chris.

Re: VoiceOver does not speak images in the UIImagePickerController

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Are you coding this app by hand using X-Code, or are you using an app which 
will produce the code for you? I don't know very much about programming, but 
I've heard that the way that the source code is rendered can make things go 
screwy.

  Hi list,
  I am trying to develop an app. a part of the functionality is that the 
user should be able to select a photo stored on the device. For this, I am 
using the UIImagePickerController. There are 2 issues I noticed when running 
the project on my iPhone.
  1. After I hit the button and grant the app access to my photos, I am 
presented with different options (selfies, etc) each of these options is being 
spoken as an edit field. How do I fix this?
  2. After I choose a category say, selfies, VoiceOver does not give any 
output. When I verified with cited assistance, I was told that the user is 
presented with a grid of photos from which he or she can select. My expected 
behaviour is that VoiceOver speaks details of each photo (date taken, etc) as 
the user swipes or explores the screen (similar to most apps that ask us to 
select photos).


  As I am using a default UI element, should it not be accessible already? 
How do I make this view accessible?


  I posted this earlier but was not sure if it reached the list. I am sorry 
if this post is a duplicate of my original.
  Thank you and best regards,
  Venkatesh

Re: Screen Brightness default

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

I was able to reproduce Chris's problem. Neither the slider under system 
preferences, displays, nor the energy settings does this. Maybe with newer 
systems, it sticks. But with older macs, such as my Mid 2010 MacBook, and 
Chris's Late 2012 MacBook Pro, it does it identically the same whether you 
use the function keys or the system prefs slider. It resets the brightness 
to 100%. I also tested this on battery power, and it doesn't do it. The 
energy setting would just dim the screen slightly, whereas we're trying to 
literally maintain the exact screen brightness percentage after reboot.


We're not doubting you, neither are we trying to make you look incompetent 
or anything. We're just stumped.


Thanks,

Ben

Guys,

I really haven’t ever thought about this until now, but when I boot my

set the screen to 0 brightness then either shutdown and later reboot, or I 
just simply restart without fully shutting down, doesn’t matter, as soon 
as OSX comes back up, it’s back at 100, making me again have to hold down 
FN+F1 until it’s at 0.  Don’t get me wrong.  This is a very very very 
minor annoyance, and it’s nothing I am terribly concerned about, but I’m 
just wonderring if there, even with the aid of a 3rd party app, might be a

I’ve tried playing with it using the Notes app and recently tried it with an 
inexpensive stylus with poor results. I’m thinking it’s more a pressure 
issue with any stylus. It seems to work much better using just the finger.


I use it to bring up apps, to occasionally jot down phone numbers, though 
this is less used now that I have just Press Record for my Watch.


I have a friend who uses it when writing texts and email on her phone and 
she swears by it with just her finger.

Handwriting actually just uses the finger drawing the letter in print. Use 
a three finger flick down to change the case of the letter, the number, or

Is it Antimosquito, or is it my iPhone?

[ben J. Bloomgren]

Hi all,

It's another gorgeous day in the Valley of the Sun, and I was thinking about 
the oncoming need for mosquito repellent.

Back when I had my iPhone Five, I used an app called Anti mosquito 3.1. It's by 
a developer named Dong Wook Kim. Here's the app link:

Anti Mosquito 3.1 by Dong-Wook Kim
https://appsto.re/us/dAq3r.i

Oddly, however, when I open it, it throws me back onto the home screen. When I 
look in the app switcher, it's still there. Is my iPhone 6 S doing something 
untoward, or is the app as buggy as a Florida summer?

Thanks,

Ben

Re: Any comments on Apple's position against unreasonable search

We also must remember that Apple has admitted time and time again that it 
tracks its users. The government is only forging a legal precedent in the case. 
Both sides have every possible technological door, be it front or back, to get 
any information from any Joe Blow, Jane Doe or whomever they'd like. The

  FBI and Justice Department officials, we think, can be forgiven if 
they’re a touch cynical about all of Apple’s elaborate legal argumentation and 
suspect that this all just masks what appears to be Apple’s genuine litigating 
posture towards the government: You can’t make us do anything, because we are 
immensely politically powerful, our CEO is on the phone with the President 
regularly, we are too big and way too cool to fail, and people around the world 
like us more than they like you. So what about that dead woman in Louisiana? 
Sorry, but bringing her killer to justice—and preventing his or her future 
violence—just isn’t as important as the data security of our devices. And about 
protecting people from ISIS? We’ll help out if it’s not too much trouble, but 
don’t ask us—ever—to do something that will make us look bad to the ACLU, even 
if there’s a very good legal argument that you can.


Oof!  Nasty.  Very, very, very nasty.

It’s quite fun, this.  Don’t you find? :)

Re: Apple TV weirdness

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

The closest that I've experienced to that is when I try to go into 
computers, it says to turn on home sharing in iTunes. Both iTunes and the 
ATV indicate that it's turned on.

Subject: Apple TV weirdness


Hi all,

Still trying to troubleshoot this homesharing thing.  I've turned 
homesharing on and off on my computer, and when that did nothing, I decided 
to try re-initializing it on my Apple TV.  Now, my Apple TV won't take my 
Apple ID and password.  I've entered it three times, so am sure I didn't 
enter it incorrectly all those times.  Each time Voiceover just says unable 
to sign in, and prompts me to change my Apple ID or password at the website. 
Has anyone encountered this?  Anyone know a solution?

TIA,
Donna

Re: notes app and evernote

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

I don't know anything about Evernote, but I know that the Notes app on my 
iPhone has become more of a friend due to the remind me of this command in 
Siri. Do you guys know of a better way not to forget about the notes that 
you write?

Hello,

On my mac I used to find the notes app to be just fine for quickly jotting 
down notes, especially from phone calls. Now when I use it I constantly hear 
voice Over saying “body, body, body” and I find this extremely annoying. 
This is very frustrating when I am navigating through notes to review or 
find information from my notes. I know voice Over is just announcing the 
style of my text but is there any way to make voice Over stop doing this? It’s 
making it very difficult to review my notes.


As a side thought, is EverNote voice Over friendly on the mac or iOS? Maybe 
I should switch to a different app for taking notes? It’s just so quick, or 
at least it used to be quick to take notes on my Mac or iPhone, especially 
if I use Siri to create a note for me.  Does EverNote have a mac app or just 
a web interface. I don’t know anything much about EverNote other than a lot 
of people use it.


BTW, I am using El Capitan.

Thanks,
Christina

I saw this article on Twitter about these new reaction emoji that Facebook has

Indeed, it worked on my iPhone. I haven't tried it on the mac yet, as the

experiences on iOS and OSX with this?

Walking directions in the United States

Hi all,

I have a job interview coming up this week, and I need to do some practice so 
that I can know where I'm going. Once I get into the area, however, I would 
like to know which app you guys prefer for obtaining walking directions. Under 
android, I used an app called nearby explorer. It works splendidly. I have 
blind square, nava gone, Apple Maps, Google maps, and Waze. I have used 
BlindSquare before with great results, but I need to be very sure of what I'm 
receiving. What would you guys recommend?

Re: Changing languages with a bluetooth keyboard

[ben J. Bloomgren]

It's quite easy on the Mac. What I do is,

Open your menu extras with control F8 or Vieux M twice, and then locate the 
menu that's going to lease first Lee said the language is currently under. For 
example, mine says US. Then, either type in the first few letters of the 
language you want to go to, or aerobe down through the menu. Then, either hit 
VO space or enter, and it will change the language. If you want to get back to 
the Lynnwood you were in, I changed the keystrokes to say option space and 
option shift space. Otherwise, you're going to run into a conflict with the 
spotlight search. It's easy enough in iOS with the touch screen. You just go 
down to the button that says next keyboard. You double tap on it, and/or hold.

I’ve often noticed that if you’re in iTunes list view, track ordering is not 
automatically set to either be based on track/disc number or play order but 
often reverts to some other column, usually name for me.  Bloody annoying, 
especially since it works flawlessly on iOS and I spent a long time getting 
all the disc/track information metadata configured.


Try VO-Shift-Backslash when you’re in the songs table.  Go to the status 
column and press VO-space, to sort on that.  Leave the headers again with 
VO-Shift-\.  Now you should have what iTunes thinks is the correct play 
order.  If it’s reversed, do it again to turn the list the right way up.

iTunes not honoring album order

Hi all,

I've got an album that I'm trying to play in iTunes under OSX. Shuffle is 
turned off within the controls menu, but iTunes still doesn't seem to want to 
honor the track order of the album. For example, since there are five tracks in 
the album, it'll go from one to three rather than one to two. Have you any 
suggestions?

  If you have the virtual keyboard showing while using your external keyboard,

  Changing the spoken language changes the Braille input and output, but they 
are both part of VoiceOver which the keyboard is not.

Being that Cmd+space invokes the spotlight, I've changed it to option+space and

Re: Changing languages with a bluetooth keyboard

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Seyoon, Ann and all,

Cmd+ctrl+space doesn't work either. Ann, by changing languages, I didn't just 
mean cycling through Voiceover languages in the language rotor. I'm trying to 
literally change the keyboard layout between languages as the next keyboard 
button would do on the touch screen.

Thanks,

Tweetings question

[ben J. Bloomgren]

Hi all,

I am an avid user of the iOS Twitter client known as tweetings. There is 
however one question. How does one look at notifications other then direct 
messages and mentions? For example, if someone follows me, how do I receive 
that notification. I get the notification in my notification Center, but that's 
all. Is there a way to do that within the app? If I double tap on the 
notification itself, it brings me into the app. However, that's not what I'm 
trying to do. I'm trying to remain in the app and then go look at those sort of 
notifications.

Thank you,

Ben

Re: Uber Questions

[ben J. Bloomgren]

You can either order the ride as if it were you and then just text the driver 
or call the driver and indicate to him that someone other than you is going. 
Or, you can do a fare split. I have not done the fare split though, so I can't 
speak of it.

 Hi,
 Here is a detailed explanation of using uber with voiceover.
 In the first screen, you will have options to go to the menu, set your 
 pickup location, select the type of uber you want to use, etc.
 In the pickup location, you will have to enter the address from where you 
 wish to be picked up. That is, your house address if you are leaving from 
 home. Once you make sure voice-over speaks the correct address, swipe 
 right. you will hear voice-over say "set pickup location" followed bye The 
 ETA. Double tap this button And you will be taken to a confirmation screen.
 
 In this screen, you will have different options to enter destination, 
 choose payment method (I think it is only the credit card in the US and 
 many countries), check fare estimate and a request button at the bottom of 
 the screen. Here are the details of the confirmation screen.
 the first element is “centre map” this not important from a voiceOver 
 user’s perspective.
 The next element as you swipe right is the cancel button. this is if you 
 want to go to the previous screen. The next element says “confirmation” 
 and we will not have to interact with this. the next option is pickup 
 location. remember, you have set this before. Next, the Add destination 
 button. double tap this to search for and enter the address of the place 
 you want to go to.
 It is quite easy to enter the destination for popular landmarks and most 
 addresses.
 the next option is payment. you can select this if you have multiple cards 
 added to your account.
 the next option is fare estimate. this will ask you to enter the drop 
 location so uber can calculate a rough fare for your ride. the next option 
 is promo code. here, you can enter a promo code (if you have any) to get 
 discounts.
 the next option is the request button. VoiceOver reads this as “request” 
 followed by the category of the car you selected. double tap this option. 
 when the ride gets confirmed, you will get the driver details. look for 
 the trip options or the contact driver button and inform him that you are 
 visually impaired and as suggested, describe yourself. after your trip, 
 you will get the details such as the fare and an option to rate the driver.
 
 I use Uber in India and I too was very nervous to travel alone initially. 
 But after a few trips, I feel very confident and most of all, independent.
 
 Here are a few tips that will make your uber experience even better.
 1. It is always better to enter the destination. even if you do not know 
 the exact address, try searching for it in the add destination screen. 
 Uber has a fairly good source from which it lists addresses. If you are 
 still unable to find the place you want to go to, try searching in google 
 maps and enter the name in uber. This will save you the trouble of telling 
 the driver the directions to your destination. You can add the destination 
 even after the trip is confirmed and you get the driver details. the 
 driver will be able to see where you want to go only after you get into 
 the car and he starts his trip.
 2. Send status to your contacts. Once your ride is confirmed and you get 
 the driver details, explore the screen to find the send status option. 
 here, uber may request your contact details for the first time. search for 
 the person who you wish to send the status of your trip to and select. 
 once you are done, select the done button (usually to the top right part 
 on the screen). the recipients w

frist of all

you need to go into settings and set up your account
you have to give a creditcard to pay
you need to let uber access your location  this is why your friend saw 5 
cars

next you can choose current location that way as a pick up
you can do the address if you know what it is
now when you select get  a ride or what ever it is called, the cool thing is 
when a driver answers you will get a discription of the drriver i.e.  make 
of car, color, andlicense number.  now i know not to effictive for blind, 
but there is now a button to contact driver and you can call or text and 
tell the driver your visually inpared and discribe yourself and they need to

1. There is a pickup location home button, and a set pickup location 
button. What is the difference?
2. At set pickup location, do you have to put in the street address? If 
you are going to Target for example, do you look up the address before you 
go? If so I don’t always know the address of where I’m going.
3. I opened the app last night, it said no cars available, but a sighted

can I get this info?
4. Any other tips or suggestions? I’m kind of nervous to use the app, and

  Alan, 

  You make an extremely valid point here.  XP'll definitely run it, as I have 
it on an XP Pro SP3 32 bit machine over here, believe it or not, however, I 
know Ben like the back of my hand.  He's like a brother to me, and I pretty 
much know his Dell Inspiron E1505 XP machine as well in and out being how much 
I've helped him over the years.  I'm not sure if he actually does have the most 
recent version.  I'll let him answer that, but come to think of it, you might 
be on to something here, as I don't think he ever updated to the latest Itunes 
version.

  I can! tell you this much which I know absolutely 100% beyond a doubt.  He's 
running XP Home edition 32 bit with NVDA's most recent non-snapshot build.  I 
know this as I'm the one who installed Windows for him on that machine, go 
figure.

  Before anyone asks, why doesn't he upgrade to Win7 at least, that's another 
story.  The system's about 9 years old, as he got it in 2007, so hardware specs 
won't lettem.

  Chris.

Enabling Apple Music in iTunes under Windows XP

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Hi all,

I was playing with iTunes over here on this old PC I've got here. I haven't 
ever enabled Apple Music there, but I'd like to do so. I found an Apple Support 
article about enabling the iCloud music library in preferences, but I see no 
such thing. And yes, I have looked in every tab under there. What do you 
recommend that I do?

Thanks,

Ben

Re: Please Join Me in Requesting That a Significant VoiceOver and iOS Twitter App Bug Be Resolved

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Being that it's a bird's eye view, is it something that's visual/graphical? 
If that be the case, then Voiceover would probably not be able to handle it, 
making the need of that message clear.

Subject: Please Join Me in Requesting That a Significant VoiceOver and iOS 
Twitter App Bug Be Resolved




Hello Everyone,

I am cross-posting this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing
list.

A couple of months ago, a new feature was added to Twitter, called 
Moments.
Essentially, Twitter Moments is a birds-eye view of current events 
happening

around the world.  It's really quite an exciting way to easily follow
trending issues of the day on a variety of subject including news, sports,
entertainment, etc.

If you log into your Twitter account using your preferred web browser, you
will discover the Moments tab located near the top of the browser window.

However, should you open the native iOS Twitter app, the Moments tab is
nowhere to be found.  This has been perplexing me for a while now until I
discovered the problem, said problem being a bug between VoiceOver and the
Native Twitter app.

I will paste in the bug report I posted to the iTunes App Store, following
my signature and I invite everyone to please submit a review to the App
Store describing this bug.  Feel free to use any or all of my report in 
your

review.

Also, I encourage all of you Twitter users to send a tweet to both 
@support

and @twitter from within your preferred Twitter client, addressing this
issue.

With so many important world events taking place at this time, I feel that
it is most urgent that we, as blind and low vision citizens, be part of 
the

conversation.

Thank you,

Mark
[BEGIN BUG REPORT]
A Bug With Twitter Moments and VoiceOver in iOS

Twitter moments is one of the most exciting new features now being enjoyed
by thousands of iOS Twitter app users.

However, when VoiceOver, Apple's software screen reading solution for the
blind and low vision, is enabled, the Moments Tab, does not appear.  In
order to get the Moments Tab to be displayed, VoiceOver must first be
disabled, then the Twitter app must be launched, then, VoiceOver 
re-enabled

at which time a Twitter warning message appears prompting the blind or low
vision person to close and restart Twitter with VoiceOver enabled.  Of
course, doing this will cause the Moments Tab to, once again, disappear.

I urge Twitter to address this accessibility bug as soon as possible.
[END BUG REPORT]

Re: text messages on the mac

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

If you have a hearing loss, you may not hear it. But, iMessage does give an 
ascending sort of buzz tone, kind of sounding like a child's toy. If you 
receive a message while you're in iMessage, you'll get the reverse, which is 
the descending buzzing tone.

Ben,

Have you actually found this to be reliable?  Even when the window you 
wish to drop the item on is visible on the screen, I've found it not to 
work correctly this way.


I always wind up having to do it the old fassion way with 
vo+command+shift+space, then move where I need to move, route the mouse, 
then vo+command+shift+space again to drop.

One technique that I've found is to simply search in the Mac app store for 
whatever you're looking for and then looking at reviews. Now, I saw a 
podcast from the chosen few at http://www.applevis.com, which contains a 
review of an app called ReadKit. I can't tell you whether or not it's 
accessible, free or worth the pixels to display it, as I was on the way home

 Hi Erik,
 
 THanks for your detailed and great feedback on Mac Chrome with VoiceOver

 I wanted to follow-up on 2 items and request more details/steps to 
 reproduce: 
 1. "Instability of the item chooser"
 Could you please provide examples, steps to reproduce, and what's 
 "not-stable"?
 2. "No bookmarks bar and associated hotkeys."
 Chrome has bookmarks and hotkeys, so not sure what Safari has that 
 differs. Could you please provide more specific details?
 Thanks!

Re: Mac Chrome with VoiceOver

[ben J. Bloomgren]

Kevin,

Speaking solely upon my own experience, there is not really anything that I 
would miss from those other browsers. Apparently, krone even works better with 
flash items. Apparently, it has some sort of flash capability built-in so that 
you don't have to screw with it as you would, say for example, with Adobe flash 
on safari. Other than that, I really see no difference.

Re: HMA VPN on OSX

OK, this is what I did.

I first installed something called Tuntap as per HMA's instructions. Then, I 
tried to connect to the VPN using the app itself. The app indicates that it's 
connected, but at that point, OS X acts as though there were no Internet 
connection. The app even indicates a new IP address which is indicative of the 
new location.

HMA VPN on OSX

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Hi all,

has anybody successfully used the Hide My Ass virtual private network service 
on OSX? I've used it beautifully on Android, iOS and Windows XP, but the Mac 
eludes me yet. For those who don't know, Hide My Ass (name of service) is a 
virtual private network (VPN) service which allows one to mask one's IP address 
for things such as undoing the tzetze fly known as geoblocking.

Thanks,

Ben

Learning Ally

[Ben J. Bloomgren]

Grant, Chris and all,

You have reawakened my interest in RFB, which is my oldtimer's name for 
Learning Ally! Thanks tons for this tip about the Security and Privacy tab. One 
thing that we must now do is to make the company know full well that they must 
not get rid of this piece of software. All that they need to do is to update 
their documentation.

Ben

Re: What ever happened to Chain Reaction?

[ben J. Bloomgren]

It costs a bit of money, but it is quite worth it. It's one of the hardest 
games to play, but it's one of the funnest as well.

Re: What ever happened to Chain Reaction?

[ben J. Bloomgren]

Chain reaction is a fun game. I wouldn't know how to describe it though, as 
it's quite detailed. That would be annoying if they take it down. I will have 
to look when I get back from spending time with family.
