Re: iPad mail question
You've got me intrigued, I have not seen this behavior either. Does this happen in both landscape and portrait? It sounds like some kind of notification have you got a Gmail app tthat notifies you. Or have you got selected contacts in the notification centre?

activating links in facebook posts
Hi. I tried searching through the archives first as I have a feeling this has been discussed before but had no luck. I have the native FB plus focus, facely HD and no matter which app I use, I don't seem to be able to activate links that people include in their posts. If they simply post the link via the net, I seem to be able to do that but a lot of my posts include a link to a website in their actual message and no matter what I try and do, I simply don't seem to be able to activate the link. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jo Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: iPad mail question
That sounds like push notification or mail; and I switch that off; I only want mail hwen I want to... not be constently pestered by it. I think you have to dig deep into the setting for the specific mailbox to find that. But start in Settings/mail, blah and whatnot/find the mailbox/ and dig in there, including under advanced.

Re: Apple tv
What is digital optical output and what does one use it for? I'd like to say how useful this discussion about Apple tv is for me. I've not got one yet but I'm learning a lot about it so when I do get it, I will be much better informed. I have not got an hd tv yet so I can't get Apple tv because I understand that it does not work with previous generations tv sets. Mine is a lcd flat screen tv. Many thanks again to all of you.

Re: Apple tv
it's a digital audio connection, generally used to connect the apple tv to something like a home cinema receiver, or other 5.1, or 7.1 speaker systems. it can also be used to connect it to something like a minidisk, dat, or cd recorder. a box has been mentioned here, that would let you use an apple tv with an older tv, if you don't want to wait until you get a new tv. it is not from apple, so they wouldn't mention it, but it does mean that you can use it with an older tv.

I've had the exact opposite experience. The battery life is much improved on the 4S. I use it for checking Email on my breaks but I lock the screen when I'm not using it. When you say it is on but on vibrate, is it locked, or just on? Do you use push notifications? It sounds like something is running that is causing a battery drain.

Re: voice-activated camera app for Iphone, Ipad and more.
Ahem, that's not what i was trying to say. Let's see if i can be more clear here. I was wondering if there were any clashes between the voice recognition and VO. I don't think that the voice input thing will clash with VO, but if anyone knew it would be great I'll have to see if this app is in the swedish app store. /Krister 16 okt 2012 kl. 14:47 skrev Fred Olver goodfo...@charter.net: I don't understand your comment, but best to be on the safe side.

Re: voice-activated camera app for Iphone, Ipad and more.
Pointing is a fairly intuative thing, i'm sure life-long totals can point reasonable accurately if they try. Pointing with a device is slightly more challenging, and the feedback loop is long, so not learned easily, but not impossible by any stretch of the imagination. any level of sight below being able to visuallyi dentify the target or more usefully, see the results in any form by hwich to evaluate your efforts, is more or less the same for all. You have to show them to a sighted at some point, and they feedback how your aim is. Once you got that right, you can take a snap with reasonable confidence after that. We liked that 1shot app that starts taking pictures as soon as it is launched and stops when you stop it with the home button. So voice-activated could have mileage, and more usefully perhaps, the ability to change commands to words that are not going to occur commonly in a populated environment... wouldn't want the app running away with anything and everything it hears. I wonder about time lag, remember that Siri and some other voice activated things send the sound to remote servers for analysis; so out and about could pose a time lag between command, processing, communication both ways, and final execution... and does it tell you hwen it's done? This latter point might limit what you can do with it, and a good reason to have the 1touch ap, too.

You can by apple products in the UK VAT free if your blind.
Hi list, I just found out something interesting that I didn't know before. If your registered blind in the UK you can by apple products v a t free, so that means you get about 20 percent off. In the case of the iPhone 5 64 gb model this would save you about £140, I assume this applies to all apple products, given that they all include VoiceOver these days. I new about being able to get products specially designed for the visually impaired v a t free, but had no idea this applied to Apple. I rang my local store, and they were aware of this, I heard from someone else that the store in covent garden in London is also aware of this, but the person also said that the store in regents street wasn't aware of it, so it sounds like not all stores know about this, still its definitely worth knowing about.

Re: You can by apple products in the UK VAT free if your blind.
Dear Alex and All, I have, as this is very important, firstly checked with our internal finance team, and then with HMRC directly. You cannot, repeat cannot, get nil rated VAT relief on items purchased within the UK which are, so to speak, off the shelf none adaptive technologies. The simple rule of thumb is; if the item comes right off the shelf, and can be used without modification or alteration by the disabled person, then it does not qualify. Yes, the iPhone has Voice Over built into it, as do all Apple products, yet, the same inclusive or access technology is included in all of Apple's products. This is not a specific modification for the blind user. As such, Apple's products do not qualify for VAT nil rating under this section of law. They directed me to the below text, which I have, for ease, copied and pasted below. It should be noted, that if you obtain a product without paying VAT, where you should have, you are as liable as the vender. In other words, it is not a defence to say,'well, Apple gave me the VAT nil rating… Goods and services exempt from VAT In accordance with group 14 of the zero rate schedule to the value added tax act 1983. Blind and partially sighted people, and charities working on their behalf, can buy certain goods without paying VAT on them. This relief from VAT also extends to: - the provision of services to adapt items for use by, or to meet the needs of, a blind or partially sighted person - spare parts, accessories, repair and maintenance of such goods and adaptations. Goods which have been designed solely for use by disabled or blind and partially sighted people and which are for personal or domestic use only will be zero-rated for VAT. This would include such items as: - CCTV reading aids - braille display units - braille embossers - speech synthesiser units - speech output and character enlargement software. Computer systems which are specially designed and manufactured solely for the use of disabled people may qualify for a composite or reduced rate of VAT where components and software similar to the above are included in their manufacture. Training in the use of such computer systems may also qualify for a reduced rate of VAT for individuals where the equipment is used for personal or domestic use. You should check with your supplier regarding the amount of VAT to be charged when discussing purchase of you computer system. Relief does not apply to general purpose goods used by disabled people. Corrective spectacles and contact lenses are not relieved from VAT. If you need to have any general-purpose goods adapted to meet your needs as a disabled person, so that you can use them, anything you pay to have them adapted is exempt from VAT, but you would have to pay the normal rate of VAT on the goods themselves. Some building work may also be exempt from VAT, including: - ramps, doorways and passages - bathrooms, washrooms and lavatories - lifts. -ends- The last paragraph here is important, that the actual item itself is not nil rateable, only the adaption. Voice Over is not an adaption, it is not something specially installed for you, its there for any user, sighted or otherwise.

RE: Apple tv
Hi Andrew, If you have an LCD flatscreen TV you do actually have HD and it should have HDMI inputs unless you mix up the terminology/technology here. Is your TV still a big box that is a foot or more from front to back or is it a flat, relatively thin unit? When I bought my Sony LCD TV about 5 years ago they were not nearly as thin as the LCD or LED TV's are nowadays, but it still is only maybe 3 or so inches thick. Even if your TV does not have HDMI inputs, you could get around this if you have buy a home theatre receiver or speaker system and unless you want something of higher quality which would cost maybe between $800 and $2,000 you can get entry level systems for $300 or $400. Those should have HDMI inputs and also still have analogue outputs so you could connect your older TV and the receiver would convert the digital signal to an analogue one for your TV. Of course you can pick up 32 inch and even 37 inch and 40 inch LCD TV's for not too much money these days especially if you wait maybe until a good sale like around Black Friday or Boxing Day and the Apple TV is $99 so it doesn't break the bank, either.

re: You can by apple products in the UK VAT free if your blind.
Hi Neel and list, well I can see you have done thorough research, but my question is why have three separate apple stores told different people that they can by apple products vat free? I would suggest the fact apple includes VoiceOver means they have adapted the product to be useful to the visually impaired. I suggest this issue should be investigated further, as we already know apple stores have mixed training about this, so its quite possible HMRC might be giving out inaccurate information as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Adding Music to the iPhone
Hi Beverley, You can copy music manually or sync. To sync, connect your phone and find it in the iTunes source list. Tab through the radio buttons and choose Music. Then tab until you reach the Music section of the dialog box. If you want to sync, check Sync Music. Then you'll probably want to check the box for selected playlists, artists, and albums. Then move through the tables listing playlists, artists, etc., and check the ones you want. Tab to Apply, and press Enter.

Focus 40 and the 3-GS
I want to run my Focus 40 Blue with my 3-GS which is running IOS 6. If my understanding is correct, I should find braille somewhere under settings. So I went to settings, general, and accessibility, but found no braille. So, where is braille? Incidentally, this is not the current incarnation of the Focus; it is the earlier one with the whiz wheels. On a related note, I don't know if it was on this list or on the one to which I am no longer subscribed which switched to Google Groups. Somewhere in the past, I remember seeing a message, perhaps from Esther, which indicated that when using the Focus 40 with a 3-GS, there was a trick to re-awakening the 3-GS, if some time had elapsed since the last braille keystroke. Please, could someone refresh my very fallible memory as to what that trick is. Also, after locating braille in settings, just what are the steps to pair the 3-GS with the Focus? Thanks much.

RE: Braille Displays For iPhone
The 20 cell display that I am using is the pac mate 20 from Freedom Scientific.

I'm used to a 40-cell braillelite 40 which is still plugging away but unfortunately won't work with anything on the Mac except Terminal. I see the low prices of some of these 12, 14, 18 and even 20-cell displays and wonder if I wouldn't be frustrated. I also see the trend toward everything being dependent on the computer or smart device instead of being able to use it as a stand-alone also and while I see the benefits I wonder if I will be happy with something that forces me to always have to have two devices of some kind together. Yet it's not like I can really picture me affording a stand-alone unit with maybe an sd card slot so I'm not limited by the braille device's storage. so I'm trying to reconcile myself to being glad to buy a device that will work with phone and computer. I think I can do that but I'm not sure I can convince myself that a device with so few cells, even at an almost affordable cost, will be worth it. I also would like to hear from people who habitually have used 32 and 40 cell displays as to whether they really find the displays with fewer cells satisfying for purposes of reading and web browsing. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

I don't remember all the steps for pairing, but I believe you turn on the display and then open Braille in Settings/General/Accessibility/VoiceOver.

Re: You can by apple products in the UK VAT free if your blind.
I know someone who bought iPhone 4s in London and didn't have to pay VAT on it. Don't really know about legalities but this information about a blind person being exempted from vat on iPhone is accurate. Thanks - Original Message - From: Neil Barnfather - TalkNav for...@talknav.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 9:53 AM Subject: Re: You can by apple products in the UK VAT free if your blind. Dear Alex and All, I have, as this is very important, firstly checked with our internal finance team, and then with HMRC directly. You cannot, repeat cannot, get nil rated VAT relief on items purchased within the UK which are, so to speak, off the shelf none adaptive technologies. The simple rule of thumb is; if the item comes right off the shelf, and can be used without modification or alteration by the disabled person, then it does not qualify. Yes, the iPhone has Voice Over built into it, as do all Apple products, yet, the same inclusive or access technology is included in all of Apple's products. This is not a specific modification for the blind user. As such, Apple's products do not qualify for VAT nil rating under this section of law. They directed me to the below text, which I have, for ease, copied and pasted below. It should be noted, that if you obtain a product without paying VAT, where you should have, you are as liable as the vender. In other words, it is not a defence to say,'well, Apple gave me the VAT nil rating… Goods and services exempt from VAT In accordance with group 14 of the zero rate schedule to the value added tax act 1983. Blind and partially sighted people, and charities working on their behalf, can buy certain goods without paying VAT on them. This relief from VAT also extends to: - the provision of services to adapt items for use by, or to meet the needs of, a blind or partially sighted person - spare parts, accessories, repair and maintenance of such goods and adaptations. Goods which have been designed solely for use by disabled or blind and partially sighted people and which are for personal or domestic use only will be zero-rated for VAT. This would include such items as: - CCTV reading aids - braille display units - braille embossers - speech synthesiser units - speech output and character enlargement software. Computer systems which are specially designed and manufactured solely for the use of disabled people may qualify for a composite or reduced rate of VAT where components and software similar to the above are included in their manufacture. Training in the use of such computer systems may also qualify for a reduced rate of VAT for individuals where the equipment is used for personal or domestic use. You should check with your supplier regarding the amount of VAT to be charged when discussing purchase of you computer system. Relief does not apply to general purpose goods used by disabled people. Corrective spectacles and contact lenses are not relieved from VAT. If you need to have any general-purpose goods adapted to meet your needs as a disabled person, so that you can use them, anything you pay to have them adapted is exempt from VAT, but you would have to pay the normal rate of VAT on the goods themselves. Some building work may also be exempt from VAT, including: - ramps, doorways and passages - bathrooms, washrooms and lavatories - lifts. -ends- The last paragraph here is important, that the actual item itself is not nil rateable, only the adaption. Voice Over is not an adaption, it is not something specially installed for you, its there for any user, sighted or otherwise.

Hello listers, I know someone who obtained their iPhone at discount, but who knows how the discount was worked? I guess it depends whom the store assistant is.

Hi Neel and list, well I can see you have done thorough research, but my question is why have three separate apple stores told different people that they can by apple products vat free? I would suggest the fact apple includes VoiceOver means they have adapted the product to be useful to the visually impaired. I suggest this issue should be investigated further, as we already know apple stores have mixed training about this, so its quite possible HMRC might be giving out inaccurate information as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Dear Alex and All, I have, as this is very important, firstly checked with our internal finance team, and then with HMRC directly. You cannot, repeat cannot, get nil rated VAT relief on items purchased within the UK which are, so to speak, off the shelf none adaptive technologies. The simple rule of thumb is; if the item comes right off the shelf, and can be used without modification or alteration by the disabled person, then it does not qualify. Yes, the iPhone has Voice Over built into it, as do all Apple products, yet, the same inclusive or access technology is included in all of Apple's products. This is not a specific modification for the blind user. As such, Apple's products do not qualify for VAT nil rating under this section of law. They directed me to the below text, which I have, for ease, copied and pasted below. It should be noted, that if you obtain a product without paying VAT, where you should have, you are as liable as the vender. In other words, it is not a defence to say,'well, Apple gave me the VAT nil rating… Goods and services exempt from VAT In accordance with group 14 of the zero rate schedule to the value added tax act 1983. Blind and partially sighted people, and charities working on their behalf, can buy certain goods without paying VAT on them. This relief from VAT also extends to: - the provision of services to adapt items for use by, or to meet the needs of, a blind or partially sighted person - spare parts, accessories, repair and maintenance of such goods and adaptations. Goods which have been designed solely for use by disabled or blind and partially sighted people and which are for personal or domestic use only will be zero-rated for VAT. This would include such items as: - CCTV reading aids - braille display units - braille embossers - speech synthesiser units - speech output and character enlargement software. Computer systems which are specially designed and manufactured solely for the use of disabled people may qualify for a composite or reduced rate of VAT where components and software similar to the above are included in their manufacture. Training in the use of such computer systems may also qualify for a reduced rate of VAT for individuals where the equipment is used for personal or domestic use. You should check with your supplier regarding the amount of VAT to be charged when discussing purchase of you computer system. Relief does not apply to general purpose goods used by disabled people. Corrective spectacles and contact lenses are not relieved from VAT. If you need to have any general-purpose goods adapted to meet your needs as a disabled person, so that you can use them, anything you pay to have them adapted is exempt from VAT, but you would have to pay the normal rate of VAT on the goods themselves. Some building work may also be exempt from VAT, including: - ramps, doorways and passages - bathrooms, washrooms and lavatories - lifts. -ends- The last paragraph here is important, that the actual item itself is not nil rateable, only the adaption. Voice Over is not an adaption, it is not something specially installed for you, its there for any user, sighted or otherwise.

Whenever you read instructions to drag and drop a bookmark to your browser's toolbar, use the contextual menu instead: navigate to the bookmark on that page and copy the link. Create a bookmark, and use the context menu to edit the address field of the bookmark so you paste in the java script that you copied. The same instructions work whether you use a Mac or Windows, and can be applied to any java bookmarklet, including Google translation bookmarks. The only specific recommendation for Mac users is that these be saved to your Bookmarks Bar, so you can activate the Read Later bookmarking with shortcut keys like Command-1 (if it is the first bookmark in your Bookmarks Bar). Also, on an iPad I go to the main Settings menu and under Safari I turn on the switch for Always Show Bookmarks Bar so I can just flick to Read Later and double tap.

Even if your TV does not have HDMI inputs, you could get around this if you have buy a home theatre receiver or speaker system and unless you want something of higher quality which would cost maybe between $800 and $2,000 you can get entry level systems for $300 or $400. Those should have HDMI inputs and also still have analogue outputs so you could connect your older TV and the receiver would convert the digital signal to an analogue one for your TV.

Re: bluetooth 4, and aircondition
Sieghard. Thanks for this info, it sound really good, and I am looking something like this, because my air condition is not accessible at all, and I get crazy when I try to increase or decrease the temperature. Now, do you have to pay a monthly payment to radiothermostate? or just you payed the thermostate, and the account in this web site is free. Also I have seen another device called honey well, and sound like the same thing, do you have any knowledge about this honey well device? I don't want to pay anything every month, it is my main concern about open an account, because with out the account, we are not enable to use the remote control, and if they want that we pay, we have not choice. Thanks for any aditional information.

The thermostats have a WiFi module which means they can connect to your WiFi network at home. As soon as they are connected and you also signed up for an account at www.RadioThermostat.com the thermostats can be controlled from your iPhone from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access and of course your router/WiFi at home has to be up and running. I could sit on the beach in Maui and as long as I had a data connection I could open the app and see what temperature it is in my house, I could increase or decrease the temperature etc.. I live in northern BC and it doesn't get hot enough for long enough to worry about air conditioning, but the thermostat can control heating as well as cooling. If you search the archives for thermostat you should find quite a few messages from myself as well as a few others regarding this. You can order the thermostats directly from www.RadioThermostat.com, but I also know a few people in the States said they found them at Home Depot for $99 which is less than if you buy them online. Amazon also has them, just look for Radio Thermostat and you can find the app by searching for the same, the app is pretty much fully accessible and relatively easy to use. The model I have I think is called CT30. You would of course have to get these installed by a professional installer and if you are renting I guess you may have to check with your landlord.

Hi list, I just found out something interesting that I didn't know before. If your registered blind in the UK you can by apple products v a t free, so that means you get about 20 percent off. In the case of the iPhone 5 64 gb model this would save you about £140, I assume this applies to all apple products, given that they all include VoiceOver these days. I new about being able to get products specially designed for the visually impaired v a t free, but had no idea this applied to Apple. I rang my local store, and they were aware of this, I heard from someone else that the store in covent garden in London is also aware of this, but the person also said that the store in regents street wasn't aware of it, so it sounds like not all stores know about this, still its definitely worth knowing about.

iBlindTech 26 is out. iOS Customising
This weeks episode takes a look at customising Voice Over on an iPad. I needed to do this because of the bug in iOS6 which can cause the loss of all Voice Over settings after performing a hard reboot. I had done this a number of times since updating to iOS 6 with no issues however when my iPad restarted with no Voice Over this time, I knew what the problem was. The one good thing is that it gave me the opportunity to do this podcast. I hope you find it helpful.

Yes, for some reason or another. That part of the app issue hasn't been addressed. What I do is as someone suggested on this list a couple weeks back. I double click the home button to bring up the app switcher, I then single tap the home button to go home. This will leave the audio in tact playing.

Oh true. I forgot about that rule.

Alex, I suspect I'm afraid that it is the wrong way around at Apple's stores. HMRC are correct, their articles state so, their people state so, the RNIB web-site states so, my experience and understanding states so, as do my qualified certified auditors. Apple will just be getting confused. they've likely been told by a client and its gone around like Chinese whispers. I will though, for good measure ring one of these Apple stores in question to see what they have to say. As stated though in my earlier detailed message, the case speaks for itself. When you consider the rules on nil rating VAT. The item can only be considered for nil rating where it is exclusively built for the blind, or, where a modification is done to it to make it usable. The modification is not a modification if it is a feature for all users, irrespective of disability. In this instance, every iPHone since the 3GS has had Voice Over installed, and as such, the phones are not nil rateable under these conditions. OK, now I've just phoned the three main London Apple Stores that I could think of off the top of my head. Two stated that they have heard of this, but, that the reduction of VAT is something that would be the responsibility of the customer to arrange, that they had no facility to lower their prices. Other than of course by the known discounts offered by Apple directly. So that clears it up, if you went and bought your phone from Apple, then submitted the relevant claim form to HMRC, they would reject it on the bases that you would have to declare that no modification has taken place to your phone beyond standard manufacturing methods and the standard product specification.

I think the only true 20 cell display that works with the iDevices is the Braillino from Handitech.

Re: battery life and i phone 4s using ios 6.0
Well it sounds like you may have had some success in closing out something that was in the app switcher that may have been running in some way that it shouldn't have been. Some apps seem to at times misbehave like that. I guess the other thing to say is that a battery drain is not a universal issue with IOS 6 and so if you are having excessive battery drain, it should be able to be traced back to something about your phone. It's unfortunate this issue strikes some with every new version of IOS that comes out. Sometimes it is just a bad or corrupt installation of something. So that's good and frustrating in a way at the same time. Good luck and I hope you have already eliminated the problem. Tracing such issues is no fun.

Whenever you read instructions to drag and drop a bookmark to your browser's toolbar, use the contextual menu instead: navigate to the bookmark on that page and copy the link. Create a bookmark, and use the context menu to edit the address field of the bookmark so you paste in the java script that you copied. The same instructions work whether you use a Mac or Windows, and can be applied to any java bookmarklet, including Google translation bookmarks. The only specific recommendation for Mac users is that these be saved to your Bookmarks Bar, so you can activate the Read Later bookmarking with shortcut keys like Command-1 (if it is the first bookmark in your Bookmarks Bar). Also, on an iPad I go to the main Settings menu and under Safari I turn on the switch for Always Show Bookmarks Bar so I can just flick to Read Later and double tap.

When I bought my Sony LCD TV about 5 years ago they were not nearly as thin as the LCD or LED TV's are nowadays, but it still is only maybe 3 or so inches thick. Even if your TV does not have HDMI inputs, you could get around this if you have buy a home theatre receiver or speaker system and unless you want something of higher quality which would cost maybe between $800 and $2,000 you can get entry level systems for $300 or $400. Those should have HDMI inputs and also still have analogue outputs so you could connect your older TV and the receiver would convert the digital signal to an analogue one for your TV. Of course you can pick up 32 inch and even 37 inch and 40 inch LCD TV's for not too much money these days especially if you wait maybe until a good sale like around Black Friday or Boxing Day and the Apple TV is $99 so it doesn't break the bank, either.

RE: bluetooth 4, and aircondition
Pablo, There is no monthly cost or any subscription cost. I don't know anything about the Honeywell and as to how accessible it is, but there really isn't much reason to look at it since a few of us on the list use the Radio Thermostat product, it works well, it's affordable and is accessible and in my opinion that's enough. You probably pay more to the installer than you do to buy the unit.

Thanks for this info, it sound really good, and I am looking something like this, because my air condition is not accessible at all, and I get crazy when I try to increase or decrease the temperature. Now, do you have to pay a monthly payment to radiothermostate? or just you payed the thermostate, and the account in this web site is free. Also I have seen another device called honey well, and sound like the same thing, do you have any knowledge about this honey well device? I don't want to pay anything every month, it is my main concern about open an account, because with out the account, we are not enable to use the remote control, and if they want that we pay, we have not choice.

The thermostats have a WiFi module which means they can connect to your WiFi network at home. As soon as they are connected and you also signed up for an account at www.RadioThermostat.com the thermostats can be controlled from your iPhone from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access and of course your router/WiFi at home has to be up and running. I could sit on the beach in Maui and as long as I had a data connection I could open the app and see what temperature it is in my house, I could increase or decrease the temperature etc.. I live in northern BC and it doesn't get hot enough for long enough to worry about air conditioning, but the thermostat can control heating as well as cooling. If you search the archives for thermostat you should find quite a few messages from myself as well as a few others regarding this. You can order the thermostats directly from www.RadioThermostat.com, but I also know a few people in the States said they found them at Home Depot for $99 which is less than if you buy them online. Amazon also has them, just look for Radio Thermostat and you can find the app by searching for the same, the app is pretty much fully accessible and relatively easy to use. The model I have I think is called CT30. You would of course have to get these installed by a professional installer and if you are renting I guess you may have to check with your landlord.

Dear Alex and All, I have, as this is very important, firstly checked with our internal finance team, and then with HMRC directly. You cannot, repeat cannot, get nil rated VAT relief on items purchased within the UK which are, so to speak, off the shelf none adaptive technologies. The simple rule of thumb is; if the item comes right off the shelf, and can be used without modification or alteration by the disabled person, then it does not qualify. Yes, the iPhone has Voice Over built into it, as do all Apple products, yet, the same inclusive or access technology is included in all of Apple's products. This is not a specific modification for the blind user. As such, Apple's products do not qualify for VAT nil rating under this section of law. They directed me to the below text, which I have, for ease, copied and pasted below. It should be noted, that if you obtain a product without paying VAT, where you should have, you are as liable as the vender. In other words, it is not a defence to say,'well, Apple gave me the VAT nil rating… Goods and services exempt from VAT In accordance with group 14 of the zero rate schedule to the value added tax act 1983. Blind and partially sighted people, and charities working on their behalf, can buy certain goods without paying VAT on them. This relief from VAT also extends to: - the provision of services to adapt items for use by, or to meet the needs of, a blind or partially sighted person - spare parts, accessories, repair and maintenance of such goods and adaptations. Goods which have been designed solely for use by disabled or blind and partially sighted people and which are for personal or domestic use only will be zero-rated for VAT. This would include such items as: - CCTV reading aids - braille display units - braille embossers - speech synthesiser units - speech output and character enlargement software. Computer systems which are specially designed and manufactured solely for the use of disabled people may qualify for a composite or reduced rate of VAT where components and software similar to the above are included in their manufacture. Training in the use of such computer systems may also qualify for a reduced rate of VAT for individuals where the equipment is used for personal or domestic use. You should check with your supplier regarding the amount of VAT to be charged when discussing purchase of you computer system. Relief does not apply to general purpose goods used by disabled people. Corrective spectacles and contact lenses are not relieved from VAT. If you need to have any general-purpose goods adapted to meet your needs as a disabled person, so that you can use them, anything you pay to have them adapted is exempt from VAT, but you would have to pay the normal rate of VAT on the goods themselves. Some building work may also be exempt from VAT, including: - ramps, doorways and passages - bathrooms, washrooms and lavatories - lifts. -ends- The last paragraph here is important, that the actual item itself is not nil rateable, only the adaption. Voice Over is not an adaption, it is not something specially installed for you, its there for any user, sighted or otherwise.

When you first come to your mailbox you need to find the first message and double tap on this. This will start to read it. What I normally do at this stage, Having read the message, is to then delete it or move the message. You will now hear the next message announced with the subject et cetera.. At this point You need to Use and upwards movement with two fingers very gently and not too long and the movement should start about halfway up the screen in order to read and the next page will start reading.
