Re: Meta Glasses on iPhone

2024-09-08 Thread Thomas Frank
Whenever you encounter a bug with the Meta glasses or Meta View app, as a 
previous update indicated, shake your phone to bring up the help menu. Follow 
the prompts to indicate the problem and add a Screen Shot if possible. I did 
this to point out that the Communications section had unlabeled buttons and I 
could not sink with What’s App and Messenger. The problem was fixed in the very 
next update. I assume others had also pointed out the bug but I am mentioning 
this to say that developers do listen. Make sure your voice is heard.

Re: Options available for blind with motor disabilities person?

2024-08-13 Thread Thomas Frank
I just googled the request and came up with 6 options. However, the Blind Shell 
Classic was not included. It is a Smart Phone that runs on the Android OS. I 
also believe it only runs on T Mobile. Check your local state agency and 
physically check out the options. Good luck.

Re: Headphones on iPhone 15 Pro

2023-11-19 Thread Thomas Frank
If your speaker is bluetooth, make sure it is listed as a speaker in systems, 
bluetooth, name of speaker, flick up for information, choose speaker. Also, 
make sure headphones are selected in system sound, output.  However, the former 
suggestions are probably correct. Your headphone jack isn’t fully inserted, is 
dirty or wires are broken. If possible, try another aux cable between the 
computer and headset. Good luck..

Re: My first ever Zoom call on a mac and I'm really worried

2023-10-30 Thread Thomas Frank
Do not worry. Zoom on the Mac is quite simple. However, when you click the link 
to get you into the meeting, it will probably launch Safari and let you in that 
way. You can also download the  /Zoom USA app from the ‘’zoom site. Try it out 
a few times before the meeting to familiarize yourself with all of of the 
options and keyboard equivalents. I also remind everyone to go to the Menu bar 
and experiment. And, as always, if you get stuck, Google it. Yes, I know, Siri 
also works if you get stuck,.

Combining headphone output from two devices.

2023-10-25 Thread Thomas Frank
I would like to connect with Zoom calls on my I Phone 15 Pro while listening to 
agenda items or notes with TextEdit on my MacPro. I would like to combine the 
outputs of both machines via one pair of headphones. I cannot listen to 
TextEdit with my Mac speakers without having it being picked up by my phone’s 
microphone. I could mute the mic on my phone, listen to my notes and then 
unmute, but that may be a bit cumbersome while chairing some meetings.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Re: I Found text-Dictation command

2022-11-24 Thread Thomas Frank
Yes, you can turn it on the keyboard preferences. However, there are seven 
different options for how to turn it off using your keyboard. I chose press the 
command key twice. Actually, I chose push the right command key twice I first 
started with option right arrow but that's how you go from word to word in a 
text document so that is already used. It seems to work very well. Good luck. 
By the way, I dictated this now I'm gonna press the command key twice to stop 
dictation.

Re: hand-off

2022-06-24 Thread Thomas Frank
At this point I always recommend, “Call Apple accessibility. ” If the tech 
person tells you to call the main Apple support line, remind him or her that 
you are blind and am having problems navigating in systems preferences, or some 
other excuse.

Re: speaker phone

2022-02-23 Thread Thomas Frank
Also, get your hand away from the top of the phone. You may be triggering the 
proximity sensor. This is what lowers the volume when you bring the phone close 
to your ear. The phone doesn’t know the difference between an ear and a hand.

Amadeus Pro help

Hello all,
I’m trying to learn Logic Pro but it is going very slowly. In the meantime, I’m 
trying to learn Amadeus Pro. I’ve found a few older Youtube clips but am 
looking for something newer with Mojave. Any Ideas?

Re: Issues with typing

2018-12-11 Thread Thomas Frank
I’m not a Pages expert, but whenever the Mac jumps around and goes where you 
don’t want it to go, make sure you interact with the field, group or wherever 
you are with Shift, Control Option down arrow.  With Option and Control being 
the Voice Over keys.
