Re: elusive OCR App!
Ok, go to work for KNFB and convince them of the truth of what you are saying. I worked in the AT arena for around five years. I went in with this very intention.

Re: elusive OCR App
David, I concur and this is why I have not bothered with any of the color ID apps for the iPhone. There are likely instances where the iPhone's camera may perform sufficiently, but ingeneral lighting is always going to be an issue and one even the iPhone cannot overcome, yet. :) On May 4, 2012, at 1:56 AM, David Chittenden wrote: Hello, The problem with colour recogniser apps is not the camera. The problem is the inconsistent lighting. For sighted people, colours look different based on how much light there is. This is a concept which is very difficult for blind people to comprehend. The way specialised colour identifiers work is by housing the light next to the lens of the camera. One places the identifier directly on the colour item. Because the device is tuned to the specific light used in the device, a person always receives a constant result. In the real world, the darker the ambient light, the darker the colour - and this is the case across the board, for all colours. The only way to constantly get perfect results is to go with one of the expensive, specially built colour identifiers. It is impossible with devices like the iPhone. The light is not mounted around the lens. The light is close to the lens, so if you place the iPhone against the item, you block all the light and the colour becomes black. Sorry folks, but this is the way it is, and whining about it will not change the laws of physics - ever!

What I am trying to say, is that even with knfb, you had to go to a lot of trouble to get it to work with the phone. A phone which, as other people have said on list is now disappearing, just like nokia and symbian in general. I mean, would any iPhone users seriously go back to symbian and nokia, just to get a good OCR app? I really doubt it. Besides which, talks is barely keeping up with new handsets and developers don't care about the oppinions of users at all, by developers, I mean nuance as they don't really support the team who actually work on talks. the last few versions have just been about adding support for handsets, not really adding any new features or even accessibility for apps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: great iphone article
Hello All. I come quite late to this thread. I am a braille transcriber and live in the UK. To assure you all that capitalised braille is used by children who are in education here in the UK as I am transcribing books on a daily basis. Seconly, this debate about correct spelling is not due to the usage of speech itself but to how children are taught in schools and this will be so until the end of time. Thirdly, I dislike people who put braille down (this is so by the younger generation who have grown up with computers) and does a disservice to our braille. To get back on topic, we need refreshable braille to use with our I phones in my opinion az we blind users remember more when information is at our fingertips. I grew up with no computers, no internet or E-mail so appreciate the advancement of technologies. Thank you for your attention.

Re: ping
I believe you are confusing Apple's failed social media sharing called Ping with what is more generally called ping.

Re: wifi on my iPhone
What are the first 3 digits of the IP address it is getting? It may be getting a local and not a valid address. This has been a common issue with IOS in previous versions and it may still be an issue. Obviously it is not a problem with all routers and configurations, but has been with some. There is a local place close to where I live that has free wifi that I tried to connect to once and made numerous attempts a few ios versions ago and had the same issue or at least the issue with it only asigning a local address. I haven't tried since. Not worth it to connect to their free wifi anyway.
