If You're thinking about upgrading to IOS 8, already done the upgrade or 
just want to find out what all the fuss is about when it comes to the new 
iPhones as far as audio and accessibility etc goes then I strongly recommend 
you read this article.

Hi Gary and all, 

I upgraded to the 7.1, and I've had a lot of problems with Siri. It's very
frustrating. I would like to eventually get the KNFB reader app, but I'm
wondering how everything will work together. That's been my experience.

yes it can the 4s is a slower processor in it. and not as much memory. i did 
hear of problems with the 4s when upgrading to 8.02.
what you may want to consider is backing up your 4s. selling that one and 
get a 5s. out of contract pricing is still good for iphones.

the processor on the 5s is alot faster and you get 16gb of memory. that is 
what alot of people do is after a wile sell the old iphone and upgrade to a 
newer device. reset your phone to factory defaults if you do decide to sell 
it. so your content is gone.

the processor on the 5s is alot faster and you get 16gb of memory. that is
what alot of people do is after a wile sell the old iphone and upgrade to a
newer device. reset your phone to factory defaults if you do decide to sell
it. so your content is gone.

 yes it can the 4s is a slower processor in it. and not as much memory. 
 i did hear of problems with the 4s when upgrading to 8.02.
 what you may want to consider is backing up your 4s. selling that one 
 and get a 5s. out of contract pricing is still good for iphones.

 Hi Gary and all,

 I upgraded to the 7.1, and I've had a lot of problems with Siri. 
 It's very frustrating. I would like to eventually get the KNFB 
 reader app, but I'm wondering how everything will work together. 
 That's been my
 experience.

 I'm an iPhone 5 user.  I use Siri and Voice Over for most of what I 
 do with a phone--send text messages, make calls.  I upgraded to 8 
 because of an article much like the one in this message which I have 
 just read most if not all of.  I'm now using 8.0.2.  I have had 
 enough problems with VO and Siri that I re-installed 8.0.2.  Some 
 slight improvement after that but not much.

 The problem I have in particular is the inability to place a call or 
 send a text message reliably.  To me, that, and not the bells and 
 whistles, is why I got the phone.  Whether my experience is typical 
 I cannot say.  Nor can I say whether it's because of my 16-G iPhone 5.
 But, unless you really need the bells and whistles, I'd be somewhat 
 cautious about the upgrade.  Hype is nice, but I've already seen the 
 Jetsons world and I can't use a device because of hype.

Playing Your! Files On An IOS Device

2014-10-12 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi!

I’ve decided to post an eMail on this subject for a variety of reasons, the 
main being that there seems to be a myth doing the rounds, the myth says that 
its impossible! to play third party content such as different audio file 
formats etc on an iPhone or other IOS devices.

This is - to a major extent - true if you’re using say the iPhone’s “Music 
Player” App. This - to me at least - is not a big issue as every operating 
system with its built-in features does have its limitations, you cannot - as 
far as I know - play FLAC files in Windows Media Player for example unless you 
use a third party plug-in so essentially we’re referring to the same type of 
problem but with different operating systems.

The other annoyance with IOS is that - unless you have an adapter available 
from Apple - you cannot copy your music files from say your computer over a USB 
connection to a particular folder on your iPhone of your choosing but again, 
there are ways around that snag.

Okay so its best not to focus on what can’t be done and focus on what can be 
done so let’s do that with IOS.

The first App you’ll need is a Player and there are several good one’s out 
there but for the sake of simplicity let’s focus on two, oOplayer and File 
Browser, both do exactly what their names suggest.

With both you can set up remote locations such as a Dropbox account, computer 
on a local or remote network, UPNP/DLNA device and so on, when configured you 
can then select what files you wish to hear or view.

Now supposing you want to take your iPhone away from any network and want your 
favourite music to accompany you? No problem as both the aforementioned Apps 
will allow you to download your Music from a specific point - computer, Dropbox 
account etc - right to a folder on your iPhone where you can browse, play and 
manipulate your files to your hearts content.

So this brings us to another possibly challenging topic, iPhones have only so 
much storage space so what if you have thousands upon thousands of files you 
wish to access at any one time or supposing your music collection is in a 
Lossless format that takes up a good deal of space?

If this is the case then its time to look at a pocket sized hard drive with a 
built-in Wi-Fi network, I mentioned my Skyshare drive towards the end of last 
week and this drive has its own built-in Wi-Fi network which the iPhone can 
connect to.

Once connected the Apps I mentioned earlier - oOplayer and File Browser - have 
direct access to the drive thus the content you’ve placed too the drive.

The Skyshare drive on the surface looks like any other portable hard drive, it 
has a USB port on the back for connection to a computer with a USB 3.0 port for 
the copying and manipulation of content, you can also use the Wi-Fi abilities 
of the drive for copying/manipulating files though this process is considerably 
slower when compared to USB 3.0 or even 2.





question on streaming audio with SoundForge

2014-10-12 Thread dan Thompson
Hi All,

Once I could ghave an audio file or program playing via the internet and
record it in progress with soundforge via streaming.  Now I can not and
belive something got accidently changed on my end.  I would genuinely be
greatful to someone helping to make this feature return.  Here is how I have
recorded a streaming file in the past.

I am using Windows Seven professional.  

System Access in my primary screenreading software.  However, I do have
access to JAWS, Window-eyes and NVDA.

 

1.Open Soundforge.

2.  Press control plus the letter r to start the recording process.

3.  Press alt plus r to start the actual recording.

4.  Access the internet and locate the sound byte I wish to record. Then
start that sound byte playing

5.  When the audio is finished, go back to soundforge and press escape twice
to stop the recording.

6.  Edit out the unwanted material at the beginning of this recording and
save the final product.

That is how it was done up to about a week ago.

Now when trying to record from streaming audio folloing the above steps,
nothing records.

Thanks again for any help.

 


God, who does not sleep and who awakens us from sleep that we may ask,
gives much more graciously.

Re: Playing Your! Files On An IOS Device

2014-10-12 Thread Jeremy
You mention here an adapter from apple that allows you to move files, I 
assume media specifically, over to directories on the phone from the 
computer. Do these adapters require software to go along side them to 
allow access to the phone's filesystem, software like sharepod, etc, and 
does this allow you to pull music from the device, even without having

Hi!

I’ve decided to post an eMail on this subject for a variety of reasons, the 
main being that there seems to be a myth doing the rounds, the myth says that 
its impossible! to play third party content such as different audio file 
formats etc on an iPhone or other IOS devices.

This is - to a major extent - true if you’re using say the iPhone’s “Music 
Player” App. This - to me at least - is not a big issue as every operating 
system with its built-in features does have its limitations, you cannot - as 
far as I know - play FLAC files in Windows Media Player for example unless you 
use a third party plug-in so essentially we’re referring to the same type of 
problem but with different operating systems.

The other annoyance with IOS is that - unless you have an adapter available 
from Apple - you cannot copy your music files from say your computer over a USB 
connection to a particular folder on your iPhone of your choosing but again, 
there are ways around that snag.

Okay so its best not to focus on what can’t be done and focus on what can be 
done so let’s do that with IOS.

The first App you’ll need is a Player and there are several good one’s out 
there but for the sake of simplicity let’s focus on two, oOplayer and File 
Browser, both do exactly what their names suggest.

With both you can set up remote locations such as a Dropbox account, computer 
on a local or remote network, UPNP/DLNA device and so on, when configured you 
can then select what files you wish to hear or view.

Now supposing you want to take your iPhone away from any network and want your 
favourite music to accompany you? No problem as both the aforementioned Apps 
will allow you to download your Music from a specific point - computer, Dropbox 
account etc - right to a folder on your iPhone where you can browse, play and 
manipulate your files to your hearts content.

So this brings us to another possibly challenging topic, iPhones have only so 
much storage space so what if you have thousands upon thousands of files you 
wish to access at any one time or supposing your music collection is in a 
Lossless format that takes up a good deal of space?

If this is the case then its time to look at a pocket sized hard drive with a 
built-in Wi-Fi network, I mentioned my Skyshare drive towards the end of last 
week and this drive has its own built-in Wi-Fi network which the iPhone can 
connect to.

Once connected the Apps I mentioned earlier - oOplayer and File Browser - have 
direct access to the drive thus the content you’ve placed too the drive.

The Skyshare drive on the surface looks like any other portable hard drive, it 
has a USB port on the back for connection to a computer with a USB 3.0 port for 
the copying and manipulation of content, you can also use the Wi-Fi abilities 
of the drive for copying/manipulating files though this process is considerably 
slower when compared to USB 3.0 or even 2.

Re: Playing Your! Files On An IOS Device

Ah, yeah, I was just reading up on the Camera kit for the IPad, after I 
sent my last message.
Unfortunately, the page I found was from 2010, so not sure how accurate 
the info would be now.
May still be worth checking it out if the kit isn't super expensive, if 
it still works on the 6 plus and IOS8.
It's worth noting here though, that it's apparently necessary to 
jailbreak, in order to have access to the filesystem of the IPads, but 
the ability to use USB devices, keyboards, microphones, etc sounds 
pretty neat if it still works.
This brings me to ask another question or two, but I'll begin it in a 
new subject to keep things organized.

Thanks and take care.

2014-10-12 Thread Jeremy
Well, Guess the subject pretty much says it, but does anyone have any 
experiences with any other software that lets us move media back and 
forth from our IOS devices?
I've kind of messed about with sharepod and Copytrans, but didn't have 
much luck with either. I seem to recall that there was a plugin for NVDA 
that would somewhat improve access to Copytrans, but I've never been 
able to locate it.
Ran into a small situation yesterday after I restored my computer to 
find that even though I had kept my ITunes library in tact, I'd ended up 
with all my music and books stuck on my phone. Apparently, sense I'd not 
told ITunes to keep my library organized or copy the music to the media 
folder, everything in my library showed as an invalid location. while I 
could eventually rebuild my library with my music and books and re sync 
the phone, it would certainly be easier and much quicker if I could just 
replace what was missing. this is where most folks recommend external 
software to copy their media off their devices, so figured it'd be worth 
asking, hopefully turn up something nice and accessible.
Any information would of course be greatly appreciated, and hope 
everyone is well.

Hi All,

Once I could ghave an audio file or program playing via the internet and
record it in progress with soundforge via streaming.  Now I can not and
belive something got accidently changed on my end.  I would genuinely be
greatful to someone helping to make this feature return.  Here is how I have
recorded a streaming file in the past.

I am using Windows Seven professional.  

System Access in my primary screenreading software.  However, I do have
access to JAWS, Window-eyes and NVDA.

 

1.Open Soundforge.

2.  Press control plus the letter r to start the recording process.

3.  Press alt plus r to start the actual recording.

4.  Access the internet and locate the sound byte I wish to record. Then
start that sound byte playing

5.  When the audio is finished, go back to soundforge and press escape twice
to stop the recording.

6.  Edit out the unwanted material at the beginning of this recording and
save the final product.

That is how it was done up to about a week ago.

Now when trying to record from streaming audio folloing the above steps,
nothing records.

Thanks again for any help.

 does this allow you to pull music from the device, even without having to 
 have the files already stored within ITunes on the computer? I understand 
 that installing some sort of file manager on the phone would give partial 
 access to those areas allowed to it, if it were connected to dropbox or a 
 wireless device as you mentioned here, but how well does that work for 
 all types of media other than music, like audio books. Also, does 
 installing a file manager on the phone give complete access to all media 
 on a phone, without you having to jealbreak?
 I'm mainly curious as one major downfall I have with storing my music and 
 books on my phone is the ability to retrieve them from the phone if I no 
 longer have them in my ITunes library on my computer. There's plenty of 
 software for doing this, but as far as I've been able to figure out, not 
 much of it is accessible.
 If I could purchase an device to make a connection from the phone to the 
 computer and have the ability to copy my media straight over to the 
 phone, I'd be a happy camper for sure.
 Thanks.
 Blessings.

 Hi!
 
 I’ve decided to post an eMail on this subject for a variety of reasons, 
 the main being that there seems to be a myth doing the rounds, the myth 
 says that its impossible! to play third party content such as different 
 audio file formats etc on an iPhone or other IOS devices.
 
 This is - to a major extent - true if you’re using say the iPhone’s 
 “Music Player” App. This - to me at least - is not a big issue as every 
 operating system with its built-in features does have its limitations, 
 you cannot - as far as I know - play FLAC files in Windows Media Player 
 for example unless you use a third party plug-in so essentially we’re 
 referring to the same type of problem but with different operating 
 systems.
 
 The other annoyance with IOS is that - unless you have an adapter 
 available from Apple - you cannot copy your music files from say your 
 computer over a USB connection to a particular folder on your iPhone of 
 your choosing but again, there are ways around that snag.
 
 Okay so its best not to focus on what can’t be done and focus on what 
 can be done so let’s do that with IOS.
 
 The first App you’ll need is a Player and there are several good one’s 
 out there but for the sake of simplicity let’s focus on two, oOplayer 
 and File Browser, both do exactly what their names suggest.
 
 With both you can set up remote locations such as a Dropbox account, 
 computer on a local or remote network, UPNP/DLNA device and so on, when 
 configured you can then select what files you wish to hear or view.
 
 Now supposing you want to take your iPhone away from any network and 
 want your
