Subject: a good blu tooth ear piece for the IPhone

Hi I am using an I Phone 4.
I am threw Verizon wireless.
Can you recommended for me a good ear piece that I can get that will be 
good for use with my I Phone?
That will give me access to all of voice over and that will make it easy 
to answer and end calls when using it?
Also one that will give me the best voice clarity during A call?
I am looking at the Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset.
What do you all think of this headset?
Thank you all and I will look forward to reading your responses on this.

RE: where is iTunes folder?, to Sieghard

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Pablo,

If you installed iTunes on a Windows 7 machine and accepted the default
settings, the iTunes folder is in the Music folder. The Music folder, of
course, is in your user folder just as Documents and Pictures would be. If
you open the iTunes folder you will find the subfolder "iTunes Media" and
this is where all the media subfolders are, e.g. audio books, music, mobile
applications etc.

If your iTunes folder is not in Music you might want to open iTunes and go
to "Edit", "Preferences" and then go to the "Advanced" section. Here the
first thing you see is the location of your iTunes Media folder and this is
where, if you want, you can change said location.

I am not an expert when it comes to migrating you riTunes library from an XP
system to a new Windows 7 computer. However, I believe after you install
iTunes, all you have to do is copy the old iTunes Media folder into the
iTunes folder on the new computer, tell Windows to replace it if it asks. I
would do this with iTunes closed and after you copy it, open iTunes and see
if your music and all the other stuff shows up. If not just go to "File" and
"Add Folder to Library". Browse to the iTunes Media  folder and then choose
"Select", this should add everything it finds in that folder to the various
libraries.

If I am out to lunch on any of this I hope somebody else will correct me and
explain the proper way to do this.


Regards,
Sieghard

Re: a good Bluetooth ear piece for the IPhone

[Bill Gallik]

At this point Casey, I believe most of the "higher end" Bluetooth" earphones 
are quite excellent.  And the earphone itself has nothing to do with whether 
or not VoiceOver and other auditory output is delivered well, That would be 
a function of the iPhone itself (or whatever device sending those signals) 
might be.  What I mean is that the sound delivered to the earphone can only 
be as good as the sound as it is generated on the originating device.


Myself, I've become fond of the Motorola Bluetooth Earphones -- there are 
several models and they tend to be extremely compact and don't stick in your 
ear(s) like a sore thumb.  The microphone boom is really cool, too.  It 
isn't really a boom so much as a sort of flap that folds off the earphone 
itself to lie flat against your cheek.

Re: Using older and current iPhones on a cruise

[Rollin Hippler]

I recently returned from a cruise and had no problem using my iPhone or 
i Pad in airplane mode.  As others have indicated you have a few 
options, via Settings, you can turn cellular data, wifi and Bluetooth 
on/off as you desire.  When in a U.S. port you may (but are not 
guaranteed) to be able to access your carrier.


One thing to always keep in mind, there are no cell towers at sea, so if 
you really want access to the internet, your only option is to use 
services (cellular and/or slow wifi)  provided by the ship which can be 
costly.  The cruise lines usually offer wifi packages that save you 
some, but IMHO they are still costly.


Before I left I loaded books I wanted to read and music I might want to 
listen to onto my devices.  While at sea I had time to relax and catch 
up on my reading, and learn how to get around some of Voiceovers quirks.

Florida is covered in the AT&T network? I don't imagine myself doing a
lot of streaming, but just looking for another option besides the
ship's costly network. Finally, my soon to be wife will be adopting my
old iPhone 4. Since I have moved my AT&T service from the 4 to the 5,
the iPhone 4 isn't connected to a network. However, it still has the
voice memos app and the camera apps for capturing those special
moments. Might it be possible for us to use the old iPhone in order to
take pictures and make some recordings of our time on the cruise? The
only online connectivity I could imagine would be to backup the photos
to iCloud, but we won't be able to do that until we get back home to
Texas anyway. Any thoughts on any of this would be most appreciated.

Battery life with iPad 3/4 gen with screen curtain on?

[Garry Turkington]

Hi,

One of the big changes in the iPad 3rd gen -- continued with the 4th
gen -- was the much larger battery required to support the retina
display.  I was wondering if this translates into much more battery
life for VO users with the screen curtain on?  I've never been clear
on just what screen curtain does -- if it just turns off the display
or something more meaningful -- but either way would be curious if
this has translated into more battery life for the VO user over say
the iPad 2?

Thanks to all that have responded. I was hoping that I could use my

Re: Battery life with iPad 3/4 gen with screen curtain on?

Hi,

I don't think the bigger battery would translate into longer batterylife for

don't that has changed from the 1st gen iPad.

Re: Afterwshokz

Hi.

It looks as if there might be a bluetooth version out soon, but I can not find 
that model on their own webpage.

What about amazon they usually ships to europe? I would also be interested in 
such a headset. When it would be easier to use GPS when I am walking. I think I 
would wait for the bluetooth version.

Re: a good blu tooth ear piece for the IPhone

[Don Breda]

The discovery 925 is not a good choice because it doesn't support A2DP
which is what you need to hear voiceover through it.

I used the blueant q2 with my iPhone 4 and you can get them pretty cheap
now.

One word of causion though is that they are not truly siri compatible so
if you plant to get a 4S or and iPhone 5 in the near future then I would
get a differnt earpiece.

IF you plan to hang on to the iPhone 4 for a long time then the blueant
q2 is a good choice.

RE: Bluetooth earpiece limitations - was a good Bluetooth ear piece for the IPhone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Keep in mind that even the best Bluetooth earpiece or headset has what I
consider to be one major limitation: a small delay which is not really
noticeable when you use it to make a phone call or listen to you're your GPS
has to say, but if you try and write something like a text message or email
I at least find this delay to be extremely annoying and it slows down your
typing speed on the regular virtual keyboard. The iPhone 4S and iPhone 5
both support Bluetooth 4.0, but I don't think I have seen anything other
than Bluetooth 2.1 being used for the headsets I tried including the
high-end Jawbone ones. I have a stereo Bluetooth headset which I used
sometimes at home when I want to listen to a book while I vacuum or work in
my woodworking shop and I don't want a cable and at the same time don't need
to really "use" the phone.For anything else the earpods are my choice.

RE: Battery life with iPad 3/4 gen with screen curtain on?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Gary,

My understanding is that the fact that the new iPad and fourth Generation
iPad have LTE is the reason why a larger battery was required since using
LTE is apparently a real battery hog. It would, of course be interesting to
know if the WiFi only models have actually the same large battery as the LTE
versions since if this is so theoretically this should result in better
battery life for a WiFi only model. Of course having WiFi on also does use
up a fair amount of battery life.

As far as the screen curtain is concerned there are a few people who claim
that it does improve battery life to turn it on. However, turning on the
screen curtain does not in fact turn off the display, it just blacks it out
so this would indicate it does nothing for battery life since what does make
a difference is how high you have set the screen brightness and screen
brightness is apparently not changed by turning on the screen curtain. If
you turn screen brightness to 0% this will in fact save you battery and make
sure you have Auto Brightness turned off. A sighted person can still read
the screen with brightness at 0%, but it's a lot harder.

RE: Bluetooth earpiece limitations - was a good Bluetooth ear piece for the IPhone

Keep in mind that even the best Bluetooth earpiece or headset has what I
consider to be one major limitation: a small delay which is not really
noticeable when you use it to make a phone call or listen to you're your GPS
has to say, but if you try and write something like a text message or email
I at least find this delay to be extremely annoying and it slows down your
typing speed on the regular virtual keyboard. The iPhone 4S and iPhone 5
both support Bluetooth 4.0, but I don't think I have seen anything other
than Bluetooth 2.1 being used for the headsets I tried including the
high-end Jawbone ones. I have a stereo Bluetooth headset which I used
sometimes at home when I want to listen to a book while I vacuum or work in
my woodworking shop and I don't want a cable and at the same time don't need
to really "use" the phone.For anything else the earpods are my choice.

At this point Casey, I believe most of the "higher end" Bluetooth" earphones
are quite excellent.  And the earphone itself has nothing to do with whether
or not VoiceOver and other auditory output is delivered well, That would be
a function of the iPhone itself (or whatever device sending those signals)
might be.  What I mean is that the sound delivered to the earphone can only
be as good as the sound as it is generated on the originating device.

Myself, I've become fond of the Motorola Bluetooth Earphones -- there are
several models and they tend to be extremely compact and don't stick in your
ear(s) like a sore thumb.  The microphone boom is really cool, too.  It
isn't really a boom so much as a sort of flap that folds off the earphone
itself to lie flat against your cheek.

RE: Battery life with iPad 3/4 gen with screen curtain on?

[Daniel Miller]

Sieghard,

Yes, the Wifi-only models have the same capacity battery as the LTE
versions.However, there is a slight difference in battery life between the
2, since Wifi doesn't require as much power as LTE. Keep in mind, though,
that battery life can be tremendously impacted by what you're doing with the
device at a given time.

Subject: RE: Battery life with iPad 3/4 gen with screen curtain on?

Hi Gary,

My understanding is that the fact that the new iPad and fourth Generation
iPad have LTE is the reason why a larger battery was required since using
LTE is apparently a real battery hog. It would, of course be interesting to
know if the WiFi only models have actually the same large battery as the LTE
versions since if this is so theoretically this should result in better
battery life for a WiFi only model. Of course having WiFi on also does use
up a fair amount of battery life.

As far as the screen curtain is concerned there are a few people who claim
that it does improve battery life to turn it on. However, turning on the
screen curtain does not in fact turn off the display, it just blacks it out
so this would indicate it does nothing for battery life since what does make
a difference is how high you have set the screen brightness and screen
brightness is apparently not changed by turning on the screen curtain. If
you turn screen brightness to 0% this will in fact save you battery and make
sure you have Auto Brightness turned off. A sighted person can still read
the screen with brightness at 0%, but it's a lot harder.

Hi,

One of the big changes in the iPad 3rd gen -- continued with the 4th gen --
was the much larger battery required to support the retina display.  I was
wondering if this translates into much more battery life for VO users with
the screen curtain on?  I've never been clear on just what screen curtain
does -- if it just turns off the display or something more meaningful -- but
either way would be curious if this has translated into more battery life
for the VO user over say the iPad 2?

Hi,

To my knowledge I don't think you can do that. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe create a playlist that contains the contents of both the singers.

Hope this helps,

Re: verbatim bluetooth keyboard commands

Rebecca:
I am using the Verbatim keyboard.  From the left of the bottom row keyboard 
hide (brings up keyboard on the phone), control, not sure of next key to right, 
command and option.  VO is control option.  Help is control-option-K so you can 
play with the keyboardd. S andy's keyboard command list is excellent, although 
still am trying to get all the commands in my mind.  
question:  How do I lock my keyboard? Tried the key that is supposed to lock it 
but either it is broken or I don't know how to move it.  Helpis deeply

Re: Battery life with iPad 3/4 gen with screen curtain on?

[Neil Barnfather - TalkNav]

one thing you can do is disable auto brightness, turn it down to 0% and enable 
screen curtain, this gives the best result.

On my MacBook Air running like this, the battery life is rated at 7 hours, 
however, I get 13+ out of it by doing this.

Re: Using older and current iPhones on a cruise

[reggie.alvar...@gmail.com]

So when flying I can put my phone in airplane mode and turn off wifi and 
cellular and it will work as a reader with iBooks? What else does it do? Thanks 
in advance.

Hi Wayne,

Yes, absolutely you can put your iPhone into airplane mode and use it
like an iPod or an iPod touch. Just because you're not using the
internet or cellular features of the phone doesn't mean that any other
functionality (i.e. iBooks, taking pictures, and playing saved
recordings) won't work: it absolutely will. This applies to your
wife's iPhone 4 too. You don't even need to have a SIM card in there
(although every time you reset it to factory defaults, you'll need to
activate it with a compatible SIM card, after which you can take it
out). When you're in airplane mode, all the radios are turned off but
you can enable WIFI and Bluetooth at any time.

Secondly, I have no idea about AT&T's coverage or what they consider
roaming. But yes, absolutely you can choose whether to use WIFI,
cellular data, or neither. In fact, the iPhone won't even try to
connect to a WIFI network unless you explicitly give your permission,
either by selecting a network from a popup that appears (if "ask to
join networks" is set to ON under settings/WIFI) or by going into
settings/wifi and selecting a network manually. Once you establish a
connection to a WIFI network you can head into settings/WIFI and turn
off the wireless radio at any time. On the same page you can navigate
to the name of the cruise ship's network, flick right once and
double-tap on the "more info" option, and choose "forget this network"
to make the phone stop connecting to the network.

Hope that helps,

Grant

RE: iPad Mini has arrived - first impressions

[Rick Alfaro]

Eric,

My intended uses for the Mini are the following.

1.  Reading and replying to email, something that I find somewhat tedious on
my 4s.  On the Mini just as the regular ipad, you have containers so when
using it for mail, it is very similar to what you would see in Outlook, or
Outlook Express in that you have a list of messages on one part of the
screen with the message content on another part so it's a split interface.
I find this interface much more pleasant to use.  This means I can now use
the Mini anywhere in the house for mail without having to spend hours a day
in front of my computer.

2.  The Mini has very pleasant sounding speakers so it's great for listening
to podcasts.  For me, it's a nicer experience than on the phone.  
The speakers aren't' terribly loud, but certainly loud enough.

For me the Mini is really a consumption device for podcasts, books, both
audio and non-audio.  This would also hold true for the iPod but with the
added benefit of a larger screen and more reading area.  Surfing on the Mini
is really nice.  I suggest you check one out before purchasing an iPod to
see if it suits your usage patterns.  Personally, I don't like wearing
headphones which is another reason why I like the Mini with its built-in
speakers.

Best,

Rick

Subject: RE: iPad Mini has arrived - first impressions

Rick, I had been considering the Mini as a means of cancelling telephone
service and just using Google Voice or Skype for the very occasional calls I
make. I had ordered the WIFI and cellular device. I wish the Touch came in a
cellular version because it just seems the added screen size of even the
Mini is wasted for those of us with no sight.

In the meantime, I changed my Verizon plan, which now gives me unlimited
talk time. While I do make few calls, they do tend to be lengthy. How did
someone who doesn't like talking on the phone end up with friends who use it
so much?

So, I decided I would cancel my Mini order. It was interesting that I had
placed my order within the first 2 hours of Apple taking orders, and I was
told the WIFI/cellular would ship mid November, when I looked at the ship
date at cancellation it was November 23.

All of that might be of no interest, but what I will be curious to see from
you guys who got the Mini, the totally blind users, what advantages are you
seeing to having it and an IPhone? I have not discounted getting one, but I
did think I would wait until I at least got to hold one before ordering.

Thanks for comments on how you see yourself using the Mini along with your
phone and maybe why a WIFI Mini has advantages over a WIFI Touch.

The best!

Eric

Re: reading books on my iphone 4 s

[Vicki Meizinger]

Well, the bard books and the recporder are menat to stay there, as their 
laws explain.  So as far as that you willhave to use the nls player or 
other players if you have them.  Nowq on the iphone you can put audible 
books if you are interested in them, you buy them from audible.com, and 
there is an audible app that you can get free to play them on. I use 
this and the nls player all of the time.  There are other players I 
haven't trie, so I'll leave that part of the discussion tosomeone else 
more knowledgable about them.

RE: Bluetooth earpiece limitations - was a good Bluetooth ear piece for the IPhone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Tamara,

I actually use some pretty obscure ones I got from a sales rep I deal with.
He represents some other brands of outdoor gear I sell at my store and he
has picked up this line of accessories from a company called Outdoor
Technology. They make a stereo Bluetooth headset, a set of stereo Bluetooth
earbuds which are connected with a string so you can hang them around your
neck and a speaker called the "Turtle" which is like the Jambox. On my
iPhone the headset I have shows up as "OT DJ Slims", OT stands for Outdoor
Technology and I guess the model is called the DJ Slims.

I do like them, sound quality is decent for books/music, not great but OK
for phone calls and while I have not tested this a lot apparently they don't
do much in terms of noise cancellation when there is wind etc.

The website is www.OutdoorTechnology.com and if you google "OT DJ Slims" you
do get a bunch of hits with reviews including aa 4 minute something YouTube
video review. They sell retail for $69.95 and for that price they are
definitely not bad, even better in my case since the rep sold me his show
sample for half that. They do use Bluetooth 2.1 and Voiceover works fine as
they do support A2DP. Apparently Outdoor Technology is working on a
Bluetooth 3.0 version, but I am not sure when this will come out and in what
way it will be better. 

I do like the fact that they do have skip forward and back buttons in
addition to the volume up/down and power button. The button configuration
has the big round on/off button in the middle, above are the skip forward
and back buttons and below are the volume up/down buttons.

They are also quite rugged with a traditional headband design and relatively
large, square foam earpieces.
They are not super light, but as I said, they do seem very stirdy and I find
them comfortable to wear.


Regards,
Sieghard

RE: reading books on my iphone 4 s

[Richard Turner]

For Bookshare, there is the Read2Go app, $19.99.
You can down load books directly from Bookshare from within the app, so no
transfers necessary.
The app comes with two acapella voices, Heather and Ryan, or you can turn
off their audio and use VoiceOver.
It is a great way to have very easy access to Bookshare books.

As for NLS as someone else explained, they cannot be played on the iPhone as
yet.  They are supposed to be coming out with an app.  The last I heard was
next Summer.

HTH,
Richard

Re: Using older and current iPhones on a cruise

[Christopher Chaltain]

Sorry if I'm missing your question, but turning on airplane mode turns
off wifi and cellular, so you don't need to turn them off if you turn on
airplane mode. Airplane mode basically turns off all of your phone's
radios, so it'll also turn off bluetooth and your GPS. I was traveling
internationally recently, and I turned on airplane mode and then turned
back on my wifi and location services. I still wanted to use my iPhone,
but I didn't want to pay any international roaming charges.

RE: Using older and current iPhones on a cruise

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Reggie,

Turning on airplane mode automatically turns off Bluetooth, WiFi and
cellular. In airplane mode your iPhone is basically an iPod Touch, and you
can do anything you want that doesn't require a data or WiFi connection. You
can consume any media that is stored on your phone, music, audio books,
eBooks, movies etc. You can play games, record voice memos, type text notes
and use any app, just as long as the app doesn't depend on having a data
connection to work.


Regards,
Sieghard

Re: reading books on my iphone 4 s

[Chuck Dean]

You can download and read Book Share books on your iPhone by using the
Read 2 Go app. $19.99
Heres a link:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/read2go/id425585903?mt=8

Also, you can buy, download, and read books through the iBooks app.
The app is a free download.
Heres a link:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibooks/id364709193?mt=8

Both of these apps are 100% accessible.

NLS does not have a way to read their books in mobile devices at this
time.

Hi Keith,

My Way Classic is probably the one to look at. You can drop waypoints anywhere 
and then make them into a route. I haven't used it a ton, but I did use it a 
bit on the campground on Maui where I was last March and while I too find my 
guide dog is more helpful than any app, it did let me set waypoints at key 
turns and that was helpful. The app is from the Swiss Federation for the Blind 
or something like that and I believe it's $20, so not exactly cheap, but then 
again the $2,000 I spend on my Trekker Maestro 5 years ago tells me that $20 is 
cheap. The developer who does Money Reader and Recognizer is also working on a 
similar app called Breadcrums, but it hasn't been released yet and I am not 
sure when it  will be released.

Hi,

Wondering if Ariadne, Navigon, or another GPS app outperforms others for ease 
of use and effectiveness with waypoints?

I'll be staying at a vacation property in a few months that is probably 1 
kilometer square. As it's private, I doubt the usuall mapping will be useful, 
but I could be wrong. Instead, I'm thinking I'll need to set up key waypoints 
once I'm there to aid navigation from dining facility to cabin to pool, etc. 
Fortunately, the mostly walking-only paths are wide and flat. I'll rely on my 
guide dog to get me around intermittent obstacles.

Thanks in advance for any insights.

RE: Software update

Although I am not having any other problems that I have yet noticed, I have

re: a good blu tooth ear piece for the IPhone

[Kim]

I just got a Jabra Supreme and love it so far.

It sounds good, people say they can't tell I'm using an ear piece 
and it's very easy to use and comfortable too.

Hi I am using an I Phone 4.
I am threw Verizon wireless.
Can you recommended for me a good ear piece that I can get that

good for use with my I Phone?
That will give me access to all of voice over and that will make 

it easy

to answer and end calls when using it?
Also one that will give me the best voice clarity during A call?
I am looking at the Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset.
What do you all think of this headset?
Thank you all and I will look forward to reading your responses

Re: Battery life with iPad 3/4 gen with screen curtain on?

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

I'd like to point out, on the macbook air, and any Macbook for that matter, if 
screen brightness is turned down to 0%, there is no need to then use the screen 
curtain.  Unlike IOS devices, turning screen brightness to 0 on a Macbook turns 
off the display.

RE: GPS Waypoint performance - Does one outperform others?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Keith,

 

Just talked to somebody else about this and there is also MyWay Lite (MyWay
spelled as one word and "Lite" spelled like this). This is the free version
of MyWay Classic, but I think it's pretty functional because the only thing
I noticed that the paid version does is something about uploading Open
Source Map files or whatever they are called. My experience with the app is
pretty limited, but I have used it successfully to mark points when I was
off the map so to speak on a campground.

Sieghard

Never heard of My Way Classic. I'll look into it/ I have until February, so
maybe I can wait to see if Breadcrumbs comes out, and how it works.

Hi Keith,

 

My Way Classic is probably the one to look at. You can drop waypoints
anywhere and then make them into a route. I haven't used it a ton, but I did
use it a bit on the campground on Maui where I was last March and while I
too find my guide dog is more helpful than any app, it did let me set
waypoints at key turns and that was helpful. The app is from the Swiss
Federation for the Blind or something like that and I believe it's $20, so
not exactly cheap, but then again the $2,000 I spend on my Trekker Maestro 5
years ago tells me that $20 is cheap. The developer who does Money Reader
and Recognizer is also working on a similar app called Breadcrums, but it
hasn't been released yet and I am not sure when it  will be released.

Hi,

 

Wondering if Ariadne, Navigon, or another GPS app outperforms others for
ease of use and effectiveness with waypoints?

 

I'll be staying at a vacation property in a few months that is probably 1
kilometer square. As it's private, I doubt the usuall mapping will be
useful, but I could be wrong. Instead, I'm thinking I'll need to set up key
waypoints once I'm there to aid navigation from dining facility to cabin to
pool, etc. Fortunately, the mostly walking-only paths are wide and flat.
I'll rely on my guide dog to get me around intermittent obstacles.

 

Thanks in advance for any insights.

RE: Battery life with iPad 3/4 gen with screen curtain on?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Ricardo,

Turning screen brightness to 0% does not in fact "turn off" the display, at
least it doesn't on the iPhone. I can say this for sure because I usually
have my screen brightness turned to 0%, but I have often asked one of my
employees to look at something on the iPhone and then they usually tell me
they can hardly see anything and then I remember to turn up the brightness.
However, a sighted person can read the iPhone screen in good light and by
looking directly at it when screen brightness is at 0%. The LCD display
still functions just the same it's only the LED backlighting that the screen
brightness adjusts and it's that which gives contrast to the display and
makes it easy to read.


Regards,
Sieghard

Bluetooth Keystrokes

[Joe]

Hello,

 

I have some questions about the Apple Bluetooth keyboard.

 

1. What is the equivalent keystroke of double tapping and holding? I'm
thinking of the gesture to, for example, remove an app from the App
Switcher.

 

2. I found a tutorial that says Command + Tab should switch me between apps.
It's not working on my iPhone, so am I correct that this method of switching
apps is only good for the iPad or perhaps just OSX?

 

3. Is there a way to remap the keys on the Bluetooth keyboard with iOS, or
is this only a function on OSX?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Joe

Re: program for tagging on mac

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi,

Also, don't forget that you can tag tracks within iTunes. You can select 
multiple tracks and tag them as a group too, filling in the album, artist, and 
number of tracks. And if you set iTunes to keep the iTunes library organized, 
it will rename the tracks based on your tags and organize them by artist and 
album.

Best,
Anna

one thing you can do is disable auto brightness, turn it down to 0% and
enable screen curtain, this gives the best result.

On my MacBook Air running like this, the battery life is rated at 7 hours,
however, I get 13+ out of it by doing this.

RE: GPS Waypoint performance - Does one outperform others?

Ariadne is now providing this breadcrumb-like functionality too,
correct?--Joe

Hi Keith,

 

My Way Classic is probably the one to look at. You can drop waypoints
anywhere and then make them into a route. I haven't used it a ton, but I did
use it a bit on the campground on Maui where I was last March and while I
too find my guide dog is more helpful than any app, it did let me set
waypoints at key turns and that was helpful. The app is from the Swiss
Federation for the Blind or something like that and I believe it's $20, so
not exactly cheap, but then again the $2,000 I spend on my Trekker Maestro 5
years ago tells me that $20 is cheap. The developer who does Money Reader
and Recognizer is also working on a similar app called Breadcrums, but it
hasn't been released yet and I am not sure when it  will be released.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi,

 

Wondering if Ariadne, Navigon, or another GPS app outperforms others for
ease of use and effectiveness with waypoints?

 

I'll be staying at a vacation property in a few months that is probably 1
kilometer square. As it's private, I doubt the usuall mapping will be
useful, but I could be wrong. Instead, I'm thinking I'll need to set up key
waypoints once I'm there to aid navigation from dining facility to cabin to
pool, etc. Fortunately, the mostly walking-only paths are wide and flat.
I'll rely on my guide dog to get me around intermittent obstacles.

 

Thanks in advance for any insights.

 

Keith

apple tv question

[deedra waters]

There's an audio port on the apple tv. I'm curious if the apple tv would 
work with no hdmi cable and just the audio cable. We're debating running 
the apple tv into our sound system and doing away with the tv but we're 
curious to know if that would work.


If anyone knows this the info would be appreciated.

Re: verbatim bluetooth keyboard commands

[Jennie Facer]

Hi there,

The lock switch is just above the number four key. You slide it to the right to 
lock it and to the left to unlock. It is kind of stiff, so you may have to use 
a good finger nail.

You must first learn to follow before you can lead.

Re: Deleting audible books

[Kirsten Edmondson]

If you are using the audible app, you go to  info and then remove from device 
and then delete. However as they are in your audiobooks library  within the 
music app it does seem odd but there doesn't seem to be a way to delete. If you 
double tap andhold and then swipe to the right like you  used to for the delete 
function if you then moved to the left next to the buttons  at the bottom, 
there will be one called menus or something like that, but it doesn't seem to 
do anything. double tapping on the actual book just open it or play it 
depending on whether you're in a part or the whole book. It is odd that there 
is no actions menu as there is with music and with lots of other iOS six 
functions. I think it might be that you have to do what you used to do in music 
before the actions menu when it came Up if you double-tapped  that, and held, 
swiped right, and then swipedleft again quickly. I'm sure somebody can explain 
that better than I have, as they did to me a few months ago. I would certainly 
be very interested in information anyone can give regarding this. Is it worth 
reporting this to Apple accessibility? Is it just something that has been 
missed off? It is quite random… And seems daft.

Re: Gift Cards

[Chris]

Whenever you purchase an app, it will always, always be credited from 
your gift card first. Of course if you do not have any money in your 
account then it will be taken from your nominated card. Also if the app 
is more than what you have in your account then the remaining balance is 
taken as well as the difference taken from your nominated card.

1. What is the equivalent keystroke of double tapping and holding? I'm

Switcher.
Vo-shift-m, that is control-option-shift-m.


2. I found a tutorial that says Command + Tab should switch me between apps.
It's not working on my iPhone, so am I correct that this method of switching
apps is only good for the iPad or perhaps just OSX?
Not tried this myself yet.


3. Is there a way to remap the keys on the Bluetooth keyboard with iOS, or
is this only a function on OSX?
There is no way to remap keys under iOS.

Re: Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad 2 and New iPad

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hi Joe,
 
I use the Logitech ultra thin keyboard and love it. I can't give you a 
comparison to the Apple bt keyboard,as I've never used it, but I find the 
spacing is quite good and its not hard to type on the keyboard. I think it 
has a stable feel to it.
 
I also like the fact that when you don't want to use the keyboard, you 
simply turn the iPad with the screen facing down,and it will automatically 
attach to the keyboard, using magnets that are built in to the iPad. It 
then becomes a very compact unit that is easy to carry around with you.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Liz

Looking for an app to block callers

[Kirsten Edmondson]

Hi,
Are there any apps out there which are useful for blocking people from phoning 
or texting your iPhone?

Before I take the drastic step of having to change my phone number and letting 
everyone I want to keep in touch with no, I wanted to look for an app where I 
could just stop couple of people from getting in touch, as they don't seem to 
get the message, is there anything like this available? Like a blacklist Type 
thing but for phone numbers?
Thanks

RE: renaming device?

Hi,

Two ways:

1.   From iTunes, highlight your device, open context menu and select
rename. Rename your device from the edit field.

2.   Go to Settings/General/About. Double tap name button, then type the
new name for your iPad in the edit box.

Cheers,

Joseph

Lay the phone down on a hard flat surface. Flick to or touch the file you
want to rename. Already have your other hand or a finger of it on the home
button but don't worry about keeping your first hand on the file icon.

Tripple click home and then double tap with the same finger you used before
to find the icon; the focus should not have been lost and the edit field
should come up. You can just use the clear text button and put the new name
in. This should be fixed but in the meantime, once you do it I think you
won't find it so difficult.

Re: Looking for an app to block callers

[Grant Hardy]

You can't do that on official, non-jailbroken phones; Apple doesn't
allow third-party developers to integrate with the phone app.

You have a few options though. One is contacting your carrier as some
companies offer this service. Another is to sign up for a service such
as Google Voice or Line2 since they give you a number and allow you to
set up rules for specific groups of callers. You may even be able to
port your number to one of these services, though depending on your
phone company it may not be possible to both port your number, and
keep your plan active with a new number.

You could always try the Youmail service, which is available in the
app store and replaces your carrier's voicemail service. There are
instructions for forwarding unanswered calls to Youmail, and you can
block certain parties from leaving voicemail messages. But of course,
they will still be able to ring through, and also they'll still be
able to text you.

 Hi,
 
 One of the big changes in the iPad 3rd gen -- continued with the 4th
 gen -- was the much larger battery required to support the retina
 display.  I was wondering if this translates into much more battery
 life for VO users with the screen curtain on?  I've never been clear
 on just what screen curtain does -- if it just turns off the display
 or something more meaningful -- but either way would be curious if
 this has translated into more battery life for the VO user over say
 the iPad 2?

Subject: Re: Deleting audible books

If you are using the audible app, you go to  info and then remove from
device and then delete. However as they are in your audiobooks library
within the music app it does seem odd but there doesn't seem to be a way to
delete. If you double tap andhold and then swipe to the right like you  used
to for the delete function if you then moved to the left next to the buttons
at the bottom, there will be one called menus or something like that, but it
doesn't seem to do anything. double tapping on the actual book just open it
or play it depending on whether you're in a part or the whole book. It is
odd that there is no actions menu as there is with music and with lots of
other iOS six functions. I think it might be that you have to do what you
used to do in music before the actions menu when it came Up if you
double-tapped  that, and held, swiped right, and then swipedleft again
quickly. I'm sure somebody can explain that better than I have, as they did
to me a few months ago. I would certainly be very interested in information
anyone can give regarding this. Is it worth reporting this to Apple
accessibility? Is it just something that has been missed off? It is quite
random. And seems daft.

Reading Ibooks.

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

Hello All.

I am having problems reading IBooks on the I Phone.

I just don't get how to select contents or pages to read Books. Can someone 
explain how this should be done please?  Once I new what to do but have now 
forgotten. I'd also like to read I Books in Braille but don't know what to do.

If someone wishes to explain, perhaps they should write to me off list as I 
want a step by step guide if that is not too much trouble as I can't read the 
books ow have on my I phone.

Thank you in advance as this help will be appreciated. Perhaps someone could do 
a Podcast on this to demonstrate?  Either in braille or using the Phone as I'd 
like to be able to do both please.

Kawal.

Re: Read2Go Braille Question

Hi Teresa,
Unfortunately those commands don't work for braille as far as starting from the 
cursor position goes. r-chord starts from the top instead, as does w-chord.

RE: My iPod Touch 5th generation saga

[Richard Turner]

Well, my replacement iPod Touch 5th Generation is also shutting down on its
own at somewhere between 15 and 10 percent.  It was last at 15 percent while
streaming the Seahawks game and I hadn't checked the battery status for a
few minutes and it announced it was shutting down.

So, I'm thinking either this is a much more wide spread problem that people
are not noticing because they plug it in after they get the 20 percent
warning, or there is some weird setting thing that is causing it.

I'll be talking with Apple at some length tomorrow.  I suspect I'm going to
have to hand it over and let them run diagnostics for a while so they can
observe it doing this.
Who knows.  I just know I'm disgusted.

Richard

Whenever you purchase an app, it will always, always be credited from your
gift card first. Of course if you do not have any money in your account then
it will be taken from your nominated card. Also if the app is more than what
you have in your account then the remaining balance is taken as well as the
difference taken from your nominated card.

You can't do that on official, non-jailbroken phones; Apple doesn't allow
third-party developers to integrate with the phone app.

You have a few options though. One is contacting your carrier as some
companies offer this service. Another is to sign up for a service such as
Google Voice or Line2 since they give you a number and allow you to set up
rules for specific groups of callers. You may even be able to port your
number to one of these services, though depending on your phone company it
may not be possible to both port your number, and keep your plan active with
a new number.

You could always try the Youmail service, which is available in the app
store and replaces your carrier's voicemail service. There are instructions
for forwarding unanswered calls to Youmail, and you can block certain
parties from leaving voicemail messages. But of course, they will still be
able to ring through, and also they'll still be able to text you.

Yes, it is; you get a Canadian or US local or toll free number with

Organizing Classical Music in iTunes

[Traci]

A very informative article if you are a classical music fan and want to 
organize your collection better.  I felt this post was fitting for both lists.

How I Organize Classical Music in iTunes
Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 4:36 AM

Classical music in iTunes is a disaster. The track and album information that 
is downloaded with your album is an inconsistent nightmare, and leaves one with 
few options for creating a variety of rich playlists—which is almost 
exclusively how I listen to my music.
To remedy this, I have a system which overhauls the existing track and album 
data, and appends those data with rich metadata so that I can create a variety 
of smart playlists. Here is my recipe.
Tidy Track Data and Add Metadata

Fix Album Composer

Unlike many people, I keep the composer of the work in the Composer field (many 
people move it to the Artist field). I make sure I choose one consistent way to 
spell the composer's name (Dvořák or Dvorak? you decide and stick with 
one—personally I prefer the "řá" spelling), then I change it to a [last name], 
[first name] format. And, I don't include the dates of birth and death, we have 
Wikipedia for that. Once you have a composer in your library, subsequent 
entries will autocomplete.
Add composer to sort fields

I put the composer, in the same [last name], [first name] format, in the Sort 
Artist and Sort Album Artist fields. This bunches the works of one composer 
together, but will not break up multi-composer albums. If you identify your 
albums by the artist more than the composer, don't do this step.
Fix Album Artist

There are two fields here: Artist and Album Artist which, as you might imagine, 
represent each track and the entire album, respectively. For the Artist field, 
I tend to put the conductor and orchestra first, when applicable, and follow it 
with any highlighted artists along with their reason for being highlighted. 
Each artist is separated by a semi-colon. So, for example:
Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic
Fritz Reiner, Chicago Symphony; Sidney Harth, Violin
Alfred Brendel, Piano
Stanislaw Wislocki, Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra; Sviatoslav Richter, 
Piano
For the Album Artist, I typically put the most important artist first, without 
any instruments or voices. If the album is known for the pianist, then he or 
she will go first. If the album is best known for the conductor, then he will 
appear first (why are there no female conductors?). I still join the conductor 
and his orchestra with a comma, and separate other artists with a semi-colon. 
For example:
Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic
Fritz Reiner, Chicago Symphony; Sidney Harth (the piece is better known for 
Reiner's work)
Alfred Brendel
Sviatoslav Richter; Stanislaw Wislocki, Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra
Now, I know what you're asking, what about those albums that have different 
artists for different pieces on the album. Well, I personally hate when albums 
have an Album Artist of Various Artists, but sometimes it is unavoidable, 
particularly on compilation albums. However, if there are only two different 
artists, I will join them together in the Album Artist field, thereby rescuing 
it from the various artists section. The alternative is to break up 
multi-artist albums so that they appear as different albums, but taken to its 
extreme—compilation albums—this system breaks down. I vote to keep the original 
album together.
Add Metadata

The Comments field can take a format-free string of characters, so I populate 
this field with an assortment of metadata that describe the piece. These 
include, in this order:
The Musical Period — Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th Century, 
or Modern.
The Musical Form — Symphony, Sonata, Concerto, Prelude, Rhapsody, Tone Poem, 
Fugue, etc. If you don't know the form, then put Form?
The Ensemble — Solo, Duet, Trio, Quartet, Quintet, up to Nonet, and Orchestra
Highlighted Instruments — Violin for a violin concerto, Strings for a string 
quartet, or Winds for Mozart's Serenade #10 for Wind Instruments. You get the 
idea. Instruments can either be listed as a broad category, like Keyboard, 
Strings, Winds, Voice, or they can be listed individually, like Harpsichord, 
Cello, Oboe, etc.
The Album Date — if you feel the need, the original date that appears on the 
album. Often the release date, which I include as Rel2007, or the recording 
date, which I write as Rec1965. I don't pursue these dates, I only copy the 
date from the Year field here, just to have a record of when the album was 
released.
Date Uncertainty — if you don't know the date of the composition, which, as 
you'll see next, I put in the Year field, I place a Date? at the end of the 
Comments field.
Fix the Year

I like putting the year the work was composed in the Year field. This is a nice 
way to put pieces in context w

RE: Looking for an app to block callers

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Grant,

That statement about getting a "local Canadian" number is only true if you
happen to live in any of the larger cities like Vancouver, Edmonton,
Calgary, Toronto, Montreal etc. It is annoying me no end that I am not able
to get a local number just because I live in a small community in BC, but
that's just the way it is.

Regards,
Sieghard

Yes, it is; you get a Canadian or US local or toll free number with
texting and 5000 minutes of calling per month. The personal plan,
though, costs $9.99.

Re: Reading Ibooks.

[Teresa Cochran]

Hi, Kawal,

When you open IBooks for the first time, you're presented with the library. 
This is where your books are organized. If you have books already, simply pick 
a book and double-tap to open it. With speech, you can begin reading the book 
by using the two-finger-downward-flick gesture. To pause and resume speech, you 
use the two-finger-single-tap. With speech VO will read continuously and turn 
pages as it goes. If you close IBooks in the middle of a book, it will retain 
your place when you open it again. You can always find the library at the top 
of the screen to choose another book.

With Braille, you have to pair a Bluetooth display. Unfortunately you do have 
to turn pages manually with Braille by using dots 1-3-5-space for next page and 
dots 2-4-6-space for previous page.

At the top of the screen are controls for Ibooks. When you go into the library, 
you can choose "store" to shop for books.

HtH,
Teresa

Re: iDevotional app: "My Utmost For His Highest."

[Vicki Meizinger]

Hi Jim, i just came from there. I saw utmost in his highest but not as a 
regular devotional.  there were different authrs and readers in each one 
and they each costed about $14.  There were 6 results for my search but 
I didn't find a regular devvotional.  you might want to go there and 
contact customer service.  Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Hello Folks:

Has anyone had any experience with the iDevotional app from Christian Audio which 
contains, among other things, "My Utmost For His Highest?"  If so, is it 
accessible with VoiceOver?

Thanks all over the place gang.

Re: Home Security Systems

[Les Kriegler]

Hi Robin,

Well, this topic has just become of great interest.  we have a security system 
from Time Warner Cable.  It's a an older system, however the newer system 
supports an App for the iPhone.  I spoke with a rep tonight and we tried out 
the app on the call and it appears to be VoiceOver accessible.  We are going to 
meet with a rep soon to discuss its uses and I may either purchase the new 
system, or perhaps switch over to ADT, we'll see how it goes.  I'm interested 
in the thermostat functions.  I have a talking thermostat already, but I'd be 
interested to know if I could control that remotely.

Re: Reading Ibooks.

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi,

In addition to what Teresa said, if you're using braille, read past the last 
line, pan left, and then give the Next Page command. This will take you to the 
top of the next page. And many braille displays have commands you can use 
instead of Space with O and Space with 2-4-6. On the Focus 40 Blue, for 
instance, pressing down on the right rocker button takes you to the next page, 
while pressing up takes you to the previous one.

HTH,
Anna

Re: exchanging places on iphone screen!

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hello Ramy,

If there is a folder in a particular position on the screen, there is a spot 
immediately to the right that will let you put an app in the position where the 
folder was without putting the app in the folder. So find the folder and slide 
your finger just slightly to the right. You should hear a click, and VoiceOver 
will tell you which row and column you are on. Release your finger when you're 
in the right place.

HTH,
Anna

Re: iDevotional app: "My Utmost For His Highest."

[Cheryl Homiak]

Vicki:
It isn't clear to me from your description where you were looking. Were you at 
Christianaudio or in the iTunes store under apps.
Did you  look at the iDevotional app itself which contains My Utmost for His 
Highest. It costs $9.99 and I also would  be a bit hesitant to buy it without 
knowing if the items in it are accessible. But I suppose the only way we will 
know is to have somebody buy it unless somebody has already done so and can 
report on it. From the description, it accesses "Morning and Evening" and "My 
Utmost for His Highest". I could be wrong, but I don't think it's an app from 
within which you must buy other things so I'm not sure what the mention of 
things that cost $14 each refers to. This is why I am thinking maybe you went 
to Christianaudio directly instead of the app store but I'm not sure. Be 
careful because I think there's a music app by the same name. Here is the link:

https://itunes.apple.com/ua/app/idevotional-daily-audio-devotional/id320305661?mt=8

Re: iPad Mini has arrived - first impressions

Hi neil, how do you think the sound of the mini compares to that of the ipad 3? 
I am hearing impaired. It is becoming more difficult to understand bookshare
