RE: Review: iCanonic Elite Rechargeable Extended iPhone 5 Battery Case

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I don't think an iPhone 5 case would work for an iPod Touch Fifth Gen
because while they are the same height and width, the iPhone 5 is thicker
and the iPod would probably be lose in the case.

If you have so much trouble with the Lightning cable why not try one of the
Lightning to 30-Pin adapters, then you can continue to use 30-Pin cables.

Sieghard

I don't mean for this to sound stupid, but if this works for an iPhone 5, 
would it also work for an iPod 5th gen? I bought an iPod 5th gen back in 
early November of last year. Since buying it, I have had to replace the 
lightning cable several times as they just quit working. I am tired of 
replacing these cables. I looked at Amazon but could not find anything about

this product being used for an iPod 5th gen. I figured if I got this, I 
wouldn't have to continually keep unplugging the lightning cable from my 
device, which may be what is causing them to stop working. I have gone 
through 4 cables so far and am now needing to buy yet another one. It 
doesn't make sense to me. I know I really miss the 30 pin that I had with my

older devices.

Subject: Review: iCanonic Elite Rechargeable Extended iPhone 5 Battery Case

This case is specifically for the iPhone 5. It doubles as a case and
as an external battery pack. On the plus side, I purchased the case
for $49 on Amazon, and works as advertized. That's $30 cheaper than
the Mophie JucePack air with the same MAH rating of 2000 Mah, and it
looks very similar. With the iPhone 5 of course, you have the
headphone jack at the bottom along with the lightning connector. You
can pull the bottom off the case so that you can have access to the
headphone jack as you normally would, and this is both a good and bad
thing. Good because it offers more flexibility, but potentially bad
because it's easy to lose. The top of the case also comes off, and
this is specifically for removing the phone. All other ports are
usable, and there is a slot open on the back for the camera. Also like
the Mophie products, the unit takes the speaker and routes the sound
to the front of it instead of it coming out of the bottom. Finally,
just like the Mophie, there is a micro USB plug which charges both
your phone and the case, thus eliminating the need for that annoying
proprietary lightning connector. The one difference between this case
and the Mophie beyond the price is that there is a button on the back
which you press and hold in for 4 or 5 seconds to activate the battery
in the case instead of a switch. A user with no vision can't easily
tell whether the unit is on or off unless they go into the status bar
of the phone and see whether the internal battery is charging or not.
The Mophie did allow you to know very easily whether it was on or off
based on the positioning of the switch. However, since I saved $30,
that small inconvenience is more than worth it to me.

RE: Iphone 5 questions

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Jordan,

I am from Canada, but I can answer some of your questions:

is there a way to activate VO out of the box at all?
Richard already answered this one, a triple press of the home key should do
it, but I think you have to do that right away after you power on the phone.

I am hoping verizon performs better/faster. Has anyone seen any glaring
differences between at&t and verizon coverage and performance?
I am a regular listener to the Today in iOS podcast which has a lot of US
listeners who call in and I know Rob asked people to call in after the
iPhone 5 came out to report 4G/LTE speeds. Many did so and coverage as well
as speed depends entirely on how well your area is covered, both AT&T and
Verizon I believe are considered to offer the best coast to coast coverage
so if you had poor performance from AT&T then I am sure there are areas
where AT&T is awesome and Verizon is sucks. The same will probably apply to
speed.

One thing to keep in mind, and maybe this is different with an iPhone 5 on
LTE, but with a 4S on Verizon which uses CDMA you cannot use data during a
phone call. If you are on a phone call and somebody says "Oh, did you get my
email", you can open your mail app and see if it is there, but unless you
are on WiFi you cannot refresh your messages to see if it is coming in. For
many this may not a big deal, but I always thought this was a definite
drawback of CDMA networks over GSM networks.

My final question deals with battery life. Is battery life comparable
between the 4S and the 5?
Some people experience poor battery life on the iPhone 5, but this can often
be improved by running your battery down completely a couple of time to the
point where the phone powers off on its own, then fully recharge.
There are also all sorts of battery saving tricks out there which you can
find if you goodle for something like "How do I get the most out of my
iPhone 5 battery". Once again, I heard people on the Today in iOS Podcast
who have issues and many others say it's about the same. I also have heard
4S owners who say their battery only lasts until after lunch, if that
happened to me with normal usage and I tried the usual including a factory
reset and setting up as a new phone and I still had the problem I'd be at
the Apple Store the next day to get a new phone.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hello,
I have been using fit it for about a week now. I like it pretty well. Of 
course you can't get any information off of the fit bit directly. You have 
to get it all from the app and the website. Many things on the app are 
accessible and I have been able to use it fairly well. People who can see 
tell me there Is more information visible such as graphs et cetera. But I 
am happy with it given the information that is accessible to me. It has 
motivated me. Let me know if you have more specific questions.

Re: MLB audio feeds are included on the Apple TV, and a heads up on the audio feed archives.

[Les Kriegler]

Hi Kayla,

I am an MLB TV Premium subscriber and really enjoy the audio feeds this spring, 
as more games are now available as opposed to other years when only the video 
feeds were offered.  Will the audio feeds for all teams be included during the 
regular season?  I hope so, as it's a welcome feature having both audio and 
video available in one screen.  Thanks for the info and for the great service 
that MLB offers.

RE: Libratone Zipp speaker

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Keith and Soren,

First of all, Keith, the website is fine, they just have these weird
numbers/graphics strings that Jaws reads before it actually says what the
link is.

I had a quick look and I don't think you can compare this speaker which on
their US webstore is listed for $400 with a Jambox, probably not even a Big
Jambox and definitely not a $70 Beatbox or the Turtle Shell speaker from
Outdoor Technology I posted about.

The Libratone would be something you would have to compare to a Sonos Play:5
or a B&W Zeppelin Air and the Zip is actually their least expensive speaker,
they also make one called Live which I think was $550 or $600 and another
one I can't remember the name which is $1,300. These do sound like nice
speakers and are probably very good, but like I said, they are targeted at a
very different market.

I already have my Sonos system everywhere in the house and personally are
looking more for something very small and portable which sounds great for
books, has a speakerphone in case I want to charge my phone yet move around
and something I can throw in my backpack when I'm travelling. The reason why
I am going to get the Turtle Shell speaker is mainly because it is made
actually by a company that focuses on making a rugged product that can be
used outdoors, it's made to withstand a bit of abuse whether it's a drop or
a shower while it's sitting on the picknick table.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hi all.

I don't remember if those have been discussed here on the list before. If
they have, I'll look back in the archive to see what people have said about
them.

Does someone have any experiences with this speaker? They sounds really
amazing, with lots of nice features, great design and great sound. Libratone
is a danish company, and the speakers are being soled world wide.
The FAQ which is enough for me to fully understand how it all works and
their website in generel is totally accessible. The setup and configuration
of the speaker seems to be totally accessible as well, and they have an
iPhone app which I can't use without the speaker, but the things I can reach
in the app is fully accessible. The firmware can be updated through the app
which I find amazing.
All information, specs etc is described on their website, which I find
really fantastic. It all seems really accessible out of the box, unlike many
new devices which needs to be configured etc.
Take a look on their website and let me know what you think:
www.libratone.com

Hi Kevin,
This is partly true, I work for MLB.com Tech support and the policy is that all

Just a bit of a warning; the connected devices which are currently supported

360.  The rest of the connected devices are kind of iffy as far as getting them 
to work goes, so don't be surprised if your apple tv doesn't quite work 
correctly with mlb.tv during Spring training...
Of course, once the regular season starts all of the connected devices should 
work just fine...
Just fyi,

audio feed archives.


  Hi.

   

  If you have an Apple TV, and subscribe to MLB TV premium, I have good news.  
The audio feeds to games are being listed for the teams.  For Spring training 
not all teams are broadcasting the games, but if the audio is available it will 
be listed.

   

  Here's a heads up about the archived audio broadcasts.  They are there, and 
you do get audio, eventually.  The first time I tried to listen to an archived 
audio feed I thought something was wrong, because I waited for about ten 
minutes and didn't hear anything.  I called up MLB, and was told the audio 
feeds weren't being archived.  Since I had nothing else to do, I decided to let 
an audio archive play until it either started or it went away.  After about 
half an hour the audio started, and I heard the Reds beat the Brewers, or at 
least part of it, since I went to sleep during the game.

   

  That's just for your information.

   

  GO REDS!

Re: OCR of PDFs on my iDevice. Can this be done?

[Matthew Campbell]

Hello Chuck.
Sadly, iBooks will not work in this situation. It will of course display the 
text, but since that text is actually an image, there is no way to read it with 
VoiceOver.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

RE: Google Reader To Shut Down July 1st

[Cristobal]

Yes, it's a two part issue. Getting a solid cloud based rss set up that ccan
also synchronize with portable devices. Using Outlook 2010, I guess I can
sync to its rss feature, but even then, reader is better because of being
able to sort into folders, set the page to automatic refresh and just zip
down the various entries of a search result, folder or individual feed
without any problems. That and the syncing to portable devices. Outlook's
not going to do that. Neither is the IE rss client that's not all that
either.

Re: OCR of PDFs on my iDevice. Can this be done?

[Christopher Chaltain]

The original question asked about image based PDF's, so I suspect OCR 
will be involved, but of course, there's no harm in trying iBooks.

Prizmo can OCR images from your camera roll. For this solution to work, you 
need to get the PDF page image into the camera roll.



1) Open the PDF file. I do this from directly in mail.



2) Press home and power buttons at the same time to take a screen shot of the 
first page of the image. The screen shot will be the last photo in your photo 
album. If there are more than one page in the PDF file:



3) use a three finger flick up to advance the PDF image to the next page. 
Follow steps 2 and 3 until pictures have been captured of the entire PDF.



4) Open Prizmo and select text.
5) Select the OCR from image option.



6) Remember how many images you captured and count back that many images, or 
start with an empty photo book. Follow the prompts to OCR the images and save 
the resulting text files. You will get a separate file for each page.

Hello all.

iPhone 5 or iPad 2 instead of the computer. I can do this, but that requires me 
to use a computer first to OCR the images of the pages and then save them as

me to study from an IOS device more effectively.
Does VoiceDream maybe do this?
Thanks for any opinions and suggestions.

Re: Google Reader To Shut Down July 1st

[Nimit Kaur]

Why are everything accessible to the blind going away?
 That is reallly really unfair!!  I don't like it...
don't like it.  But anyways, I think that news feed is another
one, you can use.  I have never used it personally, but I have several
friends who rely on it.  If you want, I can find the info about it and
post it in this list.  I can't right now, though.  Sleepy here..
Thanks!  HTH!!

RE: Libratone Zipp speaker

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck getting useful info from their website. 
Lots of graphics, apparently.

Amazon has Libratone Zipp for $449.00. Don't know if this is the same product 
package you're talking about.

Subject: Libratone Zipp speaker

Hi all.

I don't remember if those have been discussed here on the list before. If they 
have, I'll look back in the archive to see what people have said about them.

Does someone have any experiences with this speaker? They sounds really 
amazing, with lots of nice features, great design and great sound. Libratone is 
a danish company, and the speakers are being soled world wide.
The FAQ which is enough for me to fully understand how it all works and their 
website in generel is totally accessible. The setup and configuration of the 
speaker seems to be totally accessible as well, and they have an iPhone app 
which I can't use without the speaker, but the things I can reach in the app is 
fully accessible. The firmware can be updated through the app which I find 
amazing.
All information, specs etc is described on their website, which I find really 
fantastic. It all seems really accessible out of the box, unlike many new 
devices which needs to be configured etc.
Take a look on their website and let me know what you think:
www.libratone.com

Just as an addendum, while you can read with VO I believe that only
one page can be shown at a time and there is no ability to auto

Re: Google Reader To Shut Down July 1st

[Grant Hardy]

Shocking indeed! I think the major problem here is the fact that while
there are many fine news reading apps for desktop and mobile, none of
them really sync with anything other than Google Reader. Hopefully,
prior to July 1, this will shift and software will be updated. I'm
sure there's a loyal enough base of newsreader users that some
solution will be found. Still, wow.

Re: Google Reader To Shut Down July 1st

[Christopher Chaltain]

What a bummer. I never found a good accessible news reader on Linux, so 
I've just been using Feedller almost exclusively. Since I'm using it 
pretty much exclusively, I don't really need to sync it with the cloud. 
I know Feedller supports feeds outside of Google Reader. Does anyone 
know if I can just move my Google Reader subscriptions to my other 
Feedller feeds?

where I reach for my phone or iPad to sift through the various rss
entries as much as I do through the computer. This is really going to suck.

I know it can read some PDFs, but I am not sure if the type you are
talking about will work.

Just a thought,

accessible than previous versions. Basically you put your finger on the 
camera and it will take your palse. I'm not sure all you can do with it but 
I like it. Again this can be found on apple vis.

Subject: Looking for suggestions for heart rate monitoring


I'm looking for something to monitor heart rate while working out, more 
than likely, a hardware and iphone app combination.  anybody know of 
something like this with a VO friendly iPhone app?  I'm thinking something 
wearable that would send the info via BlueTooth to the iphone and display 
the info on it's corresponding app.  Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: Looking for suggestions for heart rate monitoring

[Barry Abbott]

Hi Rick. I'm using the Wahoo Bluetooth Heart Monitor along with the Wahoo 
fitness app. I haven't played around with it much yet.  So it is a work still 
in progress.  You can set up different types of workouts but I can't figure out 
what type to set up when you are doing a round of different types of exercises.

Once you have paired it with the iPhone; You just wet the pads, snap on the 
monitor and make sure that the heart sensor is turned on in the Wahoo app.  I 
have just started working out so it is all very new to me. I can get VO to read 
the number once I place my finger on it so it should monitor the changes in 
heart rate. I had the trainer watching the changes. visually. Next time I am 
going to wear my earPods and I should be able to monitor the changes myself.

I find it very comfortable and non-intrusive to wear. It's $75.00 if memory 
serves me correctly.

Hello,
I have been using fit it for about a week now. I like it pretty well. Of 
course you can't get any information off of the fit bit directly. You have 
to get it all from the app and the website. Many things on the app are 
accessible and I have been able to use it fairly well. People who can see 
tell me there Is more information visible such as graphs et cetera. But I am 
happy with it given the information that is accessible to me. It has 
motivated me. Let me know if you have more specific questions.

RE: voice dream question

[Richard Turner]

You can use a braille display.
There are no special settings.
The search button in the lower right, not the bottom but just above the
percent indicator, will let you search for a term in the file.  Note that
the results are presented in a list of all the times that word occurs in the
book with some surrounding text, the percentage of the book where that is
and then a "play sample" button, which could just say Play, because it takes
you to that place in the book and starts it playing with the Acapella or
Neo"Speech voice.
I've not tried this with a braille display.
There was a discussion earlier about using a braille display with Voice
Dream that you may want to look up in the archives.

HTH,
Richard

Re: OCR of PDFs on my iDevice. Can this be done?

[David Chittenden]

You need to use an OCR package. Voice Dream Reader is not an OCR package.

Prizmo can OCR images from your camera roll. For this solution to work, you 
need to get the PDF page image into the camera roll.

1) Open the PDF file. I do this from directly in mail.

2) Press home and power buttons at the same time to take a screen shot of the 
first page of the image. The screen shot will be the last photo in your photo 
album. If there are more than one page in the PDF file:

3) use a three finger flick up to advance the PDF image to the next page. 
Follow steps 2 and 3 until pictures have been captured of the entire PDF.

4) Open Prizmo and select text.
5) Select the OCR from image option.

6) Remember how many images you captured and count back that many images, or 
start with an empty photo book. Follow the prompts to OCR the images and save 
the resulting text files. You will get a separate file for each page.

That's very subjective; e.g. the music chosen for song samples.

Since you're not marketing the product, you may even enjoy ten seconds of

Re: Announcing: All-new Bluetooth Speaker availeble now!

[Brent Harding]

The Aftershokz bone conducting earphones might be an alternative that go behind 
the ear and don't block out other sounds. If there is another reason you 
woldn't want a device like that, I'm sure wired ones exist, I know the Trekker 
Breeze likely comes with one, but where they get it from, I'm not sure.

  Hi Annie,

   

  Given the size of this speaker I would say if you want it anywhere near your 
head/chest/shoulder it is too large even if you had some sort of holder or 
harness for it. If you don’t mind a wired speaker, there are very small ones 
available which might work much better for that.

  Another question is, if there are any holder available, I would love using it 
for my GPS when walking, I can not use any headphones at all when walking, so I 
would be interested to use a speaker for that too, and this one has a good 
sound and an affordable price.

  We are both pleased and honored to be able to offer it to the US market.
  Obviously no one but list moderators can decide if this is off topic or on

Re: Announcing: All-new Bluetooth Speaker availeble now!

[Brent Harding]

Oh, what I mean is that how would this thing get configured to join your 
wifi so it does become available? What I meant by separate network is that 
some devices need you to connect the IDevice to the network created by the 
speaker to use airplay, taking away your internet because Internet wouldn't 
be carried on the speaker's hot spot.

Hi Brent,

I am not sure what you mean by the speaker creating a new network. If it is
an Airplay capable device it will simply show up as an Airplay device when
you double tap on the Airplay button. The Airplay button is present for all
apps that support it, for example, on my iPhone I have it in the music app,
the Downcast app, the Audible app and several or maybe all of the music apps
and even news apps I have.

I wonder how the airplay thing would even work on this thing? I looked at
the manuals available and nothing is mentioned on how to use airplay with
it. I would assume that if it automatically creates a new network, the
limitation will be that you can only stream files you have, not from Pandora
or other stream services because when you switch the phone to a new network,
the Internet goes away.

the only weird thing is that I can't find it on the computerrooms services

As far as the battery... There is no way for a sighted person to

OCR of PDFs on my iDevice. Can this be done?

[Matthew Campbell]

Hello all.
I'm just wondering if anyone has found a way to take an image based pdf file 
and turn it in to text from an IOS device? I've got text books from the college 
that come as image based pdf files and would like to be able to read them on my 
iPhone 5 or iPad 2 instead of the computer. I can do this, but that requires me 
to use a computer first to OCR the images of the pages and then save them as 
text or rtf files. It'd be nice to skip this step if possible, and would allow 
me to study from an IOS device more effectively.
Does VoiceDream maybe do this?
Thanks for any opinions and suggestions.
Matthew Campbell.

and display the info on it's corresponding app.  Any suggestions 
appreciated.

Libratone Zipp speaker

[Søren Jensen]

Hi all.

I don't remember if those have been discussed here on the list before. If they 
have, I'll look back in the archive to see what people have said about them.

Does someone have any experiences with this speaker? They sounds really 
amazing, with lots of nice features, great design and great sound. Libratone is 
a danish company, and the speakers are being soled world wide.
The FAQ which is enough for me to fully understand how it all works and their 
website in generel is totally accessible. The setup and configuration of the 
speaker seems to be totally accessible as well, and they have an iPhone app 
which I can't use without the speaker, but the things I can reach in the app is 
fully accessible. The firmware can be updated through the app which I find 
amazing.
All information, specs etc is described on their website, which I find really 
fantastic. It all seems really accessible out of the box, unlike many new 
devices which needs to be configured etc.
Take a look on their website and let me know what you think:
www.libratone.com

Best regards:
Søren Jensen

Re: The Turtle Shell - possibly the coolest bluetooth speaker

[Søren Jensen]

Hi Cieghard.
Wow, sounds like a nice speaker.
Have you looked at the Libratone Zipp speaker? I don't remember if this speaker 
has been discussed on this list, but this speaker also sounds really cool, and 
I think this is what I'm looking for. The Beat box bluetooth speaker does also 
sounds really nice, but the Libratone have better sound and I think it would 
fit my needs more than the beat box speaker. Not saying the Beat box speaker is 
bad though.

Re: Kobobooks - shard

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Irene,
I'm writing this as I try to buy a book using Safari on my iPhone.

I've flicked around and found Go. Flicking to the left I find the text field.
I entered Ann Cleeves and double-tapped Go.
I set the rotor to Headings and flicked down to find the first title.
Flicking left from the author's name, I found "Send as gift", then Buy now.
The next screen asks me to sign into Kobo.
On the next screen I entered my username and password and clicked Continue.
On the next screen, I flicked right to the Buy now button and clicked it.
I should now find the book in my Kobo library.

I quit Safari, waited until the confirmation e-mail arrived, then launched the 
Kobo app and my book was there.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Review: iCanonic Elite Rechargeable Extended iPhone 5 Battery Case

[MamaPeach]

I don't mean for this to sound stupid, but if this works for an iPhone 5, 
would it also work for an iPod 5th gen? I bought an iPod 5th gen back in 
early November of last year. Since buying it, I have had to replace the 
lightning cable several times as they just quit working. I am tired of 
replacing these cables. I looked at Amazon but could not find anything about 
this product being used for an iPod 5th gen. I figured if I got this, I 
wouldn't have to continually keep unplugging the lightning cable from my 
device, which may be what is causing them to stop working. I have gone 
through 4 cables so far and am now needing to buy yet another one. It 
doesn't make sense to me. I know I really miss the 30 pin that I had with my 
older devices.

This case is specifically for the iPhone 5. It doubles as a case and
as an external battery pack. On the plus side, I purchased the case
for $49 on Amazon, and works as advertized. That's $30 cheaper than
the Mophie JucePack air with the same MAH rating of 2000 Mah, and it
looks very similar. With the iPhone 5 of course, you have the
headphone jack at the bottom along with the lightning connector. You
can pull the bottom off the case so that you can have access to the
headphone jack as you normally would, and this is both a good and bad
thing. Good because it offers more flexibility, but potentially bad
because it's easy to lose. The top of the case also comes off, and
this is specifically for removing the phone. All other ports are
usable, and there is a slot open on the back for the camera. Also like
the Mophie products, the unit takes the speaker and routes the sound
to the front of it instead of it coming out of the bottom. Finally,
just like the Mophie, there is a micro USB plug which charges both
your phone and the case, thus eliminating the need for that annoying
proprietary lightning connector. The one difference between this case
and the Mophie beyond the price is that there is a button on the back
which you press and hold in for 4 or 5 seconds to activate the battery
in the case instead of a switch. A user with no vision can't easily
tell whether the unit is on or off unless they go into the status bar
of the phone and see whether the internal battery is charging or not.
The Mophie did allow you to know very easily whether it was on or off
based on the positioning of the switch. However, since I saved $30,
that small inconvenience is more than worth it to me.

RE: Kobobooks - shard

Hi Anne,

Hearing that you have 80 titles purchased from Kobo is certainly
encouraging.  I should have said that I was using an IPod Touch 4 with the
Brailliant Display bi 32.  From what you described, I assume that you do not
see the list of languages and that your search does not take you into google
as happened to both myself and Tony (using his IPhone 4S).

Hello Irene,

I find it really easy to buy books from Kobo. I just open the Kobobooks.com
page and enter an author's name or a book title in the search field. I click
the Go button and the results appear as level 3 headings. I admit, I do this
on my Mac and not on my iPhone.

Kobo is probably my favourite app of all as I'm a voracious reader and the
books are affordable. I have over 80 Kobo books in my library now.

RE: Headphone mic

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi,

If it was just SIRI I would say go into Settings, General, SIRI and make
sure it didn't somehow get turned off.

If you make a phone call using the headset and people can't hear you, it
most likely means your headset has become defective. You can always try and
make a voice recording with whatever recording apps you may have. If you
never purchased or downloaded any from the app store you definitely have the
native Apple Voice Memos app. If that doesn't work, either, then it's most
likely because your headset is broken. If your iPhone is less than a year
old this should be covered and if you bought Apple Care it is definitely
covered and Apple will send you a new headset along with a return package to
send the defective one back. Just test it again and if it appears to be due
to a defective headset and you are covered give Apple a call and they set it
up for you. If you have an Apple Store nearby you can always go there and
they'll take care of it.


Regards,
Sieghard

The survey took me about a half an hour to complete.

I think this survey is to understand the future of Talking books.
Where possible I indicated I would prefer an iPhone app for reading
BARD books.
I know an app is soon to be released, but I think more support will
help advance our cause.

Hi:
This device is just like any other airplay device in its treatment.
So, if it's turned on and you're using an app that supports airplay, it will
show up in your list of devices to play to.
Obviously, if you're connected via bluetooth or line in, you would not see
it as an airplay device, neither would you really be using it as such if
you're using either one of those options.

Even the Jambox if you're using line in, you cannot use the bluetooth
feature.
Does this clarify?

so does this device show up in Airplay even if the device is in line in
mode or is charging? Sorry this may sound stupid, but surely you don't
want to use Bluetooth all the time do you? I understand Airplay isn't
via bluetooth, but I mean you don't want to use the speakers via
bluetooth all the time surely. Any responses would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks!

Hi.
It simply shows up (if turned on,) as a device to choose from when you
select airplay.
So for example, if i'm listening to Pandora and I select airplay, I would
see the Beatbox as an option, along with any other supported devices; like
Apple TV, stereo receiver, etc.
I've personally used it with Audible, Songza, OOTunes, and Pandora.

I wonder how the airplay thing would even work on this thing? I looked at
the manuals available and nothing is mentioned on how to use airplay with
it. I would assume that if it automatically creates a new network, the
limitation will be that you can only stream files you have, not from

Pandora


or other stream services because when you switch the phone to a new

network,


the Internet goes away.

Hi Troy,

If I use Internet Explorer I can't get Neil's Podcasts to play either, but
they work fine if you use Firefox.

Re: Live Listen on the iPhone 5

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. I did get a response, but it may as well have been no response.
I realize that any response from Apple Accessibility is worth noting,
but they didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know. Since
then though, I did hear of a news item on Twitter where Apple was
working on automatic hearing aid detection for the iPhone. Perhaps
this will be tied into Live Listen later this year when the new iPhone
comes out. For now, below is what I got from Apple on Live Listen. As
always, the more people that email Apple regarding Live Listen and its
potential impact for those with hearing loss the better. Send those
cards and letters to:
accessibil...@apple.com

Hello,
 Thank you for your email. We will pass this along to the appropriate
people for their consideration.

"Made for iPhone hearing aids
Apple is working with top manufacturers to introduce Made for iPhone
hearing aids that will deliver a power-efficient, high-quality digital

Made for iPhone hearing aids should be available from top hearing aid

Standscan 12 Volt battery pack - the answer directly from the horse's mouth

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hello List,

Please see below the reply from Harry at Standscan regarding the mysterious
12 Volt battery pack. I left the email header there as well as it contains
their driect email in case somebody has more questions:

Hi Sieghard,

We do have a 12Volt battery pack available, it was an oversight as we
mentioned it on the site but didnt have it listed live as an accessory.
Thanks for checking up on it.
The link to it is
http://standscan.com/StandScan/index.php/accessories/12v-dc-battery-pack.htm
l

It fits 8 regular AA batteries which is the most standard type. So doesnt
cost much to run it off the battery pack.

The type of LEDs used in lamps are different from the SMD (Surface mount
device) type used to light up the StandScan Pro. These require 12Volts for
optimal power. Our 9V pack is able to power the LED's but not to its maximum
brightness however it is a good option for those who want to travel light
with their StandScan Pro. The 12V battery pack with 8 AA batteries inserted
is considerably heavier.

Do feel free to get in touch for any further information.

Thanks
Harry

Hello Harry,

Thanks for your quick reply and the information.

Your Standscan continues to be a hot discussion topic on the Viphone list
and quite a few people have said they ordered it. However, there seems to be
some confusion regarding the mention of a 12 Volt Battery Pack with Pencil
Cell batteries. People seem to be under the impression they can order this
from your website, but others who ordered the Standscan Pro said the only
accessory option they saw was the 12 Volt adapter.

Could you clarify what this 12 Volt Battery Pack/Adapter is all about?
Where can people get it and what exactly are the "pencil cell" batteries, do
you have a proper battery designation?
I am afraid that if they are some sort of specialty battery and you require
a number of them this could get pretty expensive.

Lastly, why are the LED's much brighter when used with the 12 Volt adapter
as compared to the 9 Volt battery? There are such efficient 
LED's available which use very little power. I have a retail business and
sell Petzl headlamps and some of the models provide 65 Lumins with 4 LED's
and 2 Triple A batteries.

Thanks for any information,
Sieghard

The Turtle Shell - possibly the coolest bluetooth speaker

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi List,

 

I mentioned another choice of a bluetooth/wireless speaker in one of my
messages regarding the Beatbox. This speaker is from a company called
Outdoor Technology and it is called "Turtle Shell".

The Beatbox has an attractive price, but the reason why I probably won't buy
it is the fact that it is not also a speakerphone. I like the fact that with
my Jambox I can have my iPhone charging, be elsewhere in the house yet still
take a phone call and I could do this with the Turtle Shell. What I don't
like about the Jambox is the fact that I don't have any Playback controls
like Play/Pause or Previous/Next. I know the Big Jambox has that and one way
to at least stop playback is to just turn off the Jambox which works in a
pinch, but it's definitely a shortcoming.

 

Anyhow, I think the Turtle Shell is superior to the Jambox in that it looks
much cooler, it has more features and even at the $150 price directly from
the Outdoor Technology website it's $50 cheaper than the Jambox.

It has playback controls, speakerphone, you can drop it and even get it wet
as it has an IPX6 waterproof/dustproof rating.

 

The IPX6 definition is as follows:

Water: Powerful water jets

Water projected in powerful jets (12.5 mm nozzle) against the enclosure from
any direction shall have no harmful effects.

Test duration: at least 3 minutes.

Water volume: 100 litres per minute

Pressure: 100 kPa at distance of 3 metres.

Dust: Dust tight

No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact.

 

I'll post a review on the list once I get a Turtle Shell. I only heard it at
a trade show with lots of background noise, but it sounded at least as good
and maybe better than the original Jambox. My retail store specializes on
outdoor/camping and hunting gear and I will bring in a few of these so
anybody who is interested can drop me a line. I am not sure how it would
work to ship to the States, but definitely if you are in Canada I am willing
to do a special price, what exactly it would be depends on my final cost,
but I assume it could be around $110 to $120 Canadian + shipping.

 

The Turtle Shell, by the way, comes in Black, White, Red, Blue, Neon Green,
Neon Pink and Seafoam Green.

 

The Turtle Shell also has a threaded hole which can accept a standard camera
tripod mount and Outdoor Technology has an accessory called the "Turtle
Claw" which allows you to mount the Turtle Shell speaker on any round tube
of up to 1.5 inches in diameter. Examples would be a bike handle, a camp or
beach chair etc.

 

I have been using the Outdoor Technology "OT Slim" stereo Bluetooth headset
which is a standard over-the-head design. It has rather large foam earpieces
which sit quite comfortably over your ears and in my opinion it sounds
relatively good even for the occasional music, definitely awesome for books
and so on. It works great with my 4S and it's quite a stirdy headset, not
the lightest, but I like it.

 

If anybody wants to check out Outdoor Technology, you can go to the
following website:

http://www.OutdoorTechnology.com

 

Following is the Turtle Shell description from the website:

 

Outdoor Tech's Turtle Shell is pure RAD. Bad ass rugged, shock proof, water
resistant speaker with slamming bass and tight sound all packed into this
designer looking Turtle inspired case. It connects wirelessly via BluetoothR
to nearly any mobile device, has 10+ hours of full blast play time and a
built in Mic so you can prank call your buddies in between tracks.

 

The Turtle is built for action, and is the first and only bluetooth speaker
to feature a standard camera threading so you can mount it to any tripod,
like the Jobi Gorilla Pod, or camera mount on the market. The Turtle Claw by
Outdoor Tech is a must have accessory if you want to mount this awesome
bundle of sound to your bike, boat, golf cart, shopping cart, baby stroller
or whatever the hell you want to mount it to.

 

The hollow base port allows the Turtle to THUMP in a way you would never
expect from such a small package, that combined with the ultra-high end
components that Outdoor Tech used to build the Shell makes it the premier
portable wireless bluetooth speaker on the market. If you are into good
listening and an active lifestyle and don't want to be afraid to drop your
gear but at the same time want something that accessories your coolest dude
on the block persona, you probably want the Turtle Shell by Outdoor Tech.

 

Outdoor Tech is a design lab based in Los Angeles and is focused on bringing
you stuff you probably want, from wireless audio, to the YowieR line of face
protection, Outdoor TechR has you covered in awesomeness.

 

Constantly developing the cutting edge in lifestyle outdoor accessories, the
Turtle Shell wireless bluetooth boombox is the signature of the OT line and
design atheistic. If you don't believe me, check for yourself, the reviews
and popularity from Kickstarter have been overwhelming; consider yourself
lucky if you can get your hands on o

I too confirm that the latest build did not fix the VoiceOver issues. Be
sure to go to the campaign of the month on Applevis which specifically
addresses the inaccessibility of Slacker and let them know they need to
bring back what they had in build 3.8.45.

RE: Announcing: All-new Bluetooth Speaker availeble now!

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Chris,

I don't know the answer exactly, but my guess would be that if you plug the
speaker into your headphone jack with the included 3.5mm audio cable then
this would overwrite Bluetooth and Airplay, I mean as soon as you plug in
the audio cable all audio output goes that way anyhow and there really is
little reason why you would want to play via Bluetooth or Airplay if that
cable is plugged in. On my Jambox the 3.5mm cable has priority, if for
example I connect the Jambox to my laptop with the cable I cannot play to it
via Bluetooth from my iPhone.

As far as playing via Bluetooth or Airplay that really is preference, the
benefit if you want to call it that is that if you use Airplay you could
play music or an audio book on the speaker and still use Voiceover on the
device to do something else, maybe write an email or play a game or
whatever. If you use Bluetooth then both Voiceover and whatever else you are
playing goes to the speaker and there would be that tiny delay in reaction
time if you were typing on the virtual keyboard you get with all Bluetooth
devices. I think it's definitely nice that the speaker supports Airplay.

The only thing that holds me back just a bit is the fact that the speaker is
not able to also be a speakerphone, but then again it is only $70.
I have access to a line of Bluetooth devices including a
speaker/speakerphone like the Jambox from a company called Outdoor
Technology. Their speaker is called the "Turtle Shell" as it's shape is
somewhat like that of a green seaturtle. I only heard it at a trade show
with a lot of background noise, but I would say it sounds probably as good
as or better than the Jambox, but the regular retail is only $149 directly
from their website.

Anyhow, I'll post a separate message about it in order to keep the topics
apart, but it is also a speakerphone, it's IPX6 water/dust proof, shockproof
and can be mounted in various ways.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hello all
so does this device show up in Airplay even if the device is in line in 
mode or is charging? Sorry this may sound stupid, but surely you don't 
want to use Bluetooth all the time do you? I understand Airplay isn't 
via bluetooth, but I mean you don't want to use the speakers via 
bluetooth all the time surely. Any responses would be greatly 
appreciated. Thanks!

RE: A Siri podcast for you

[Neal Ewers]

Hi, this all depends on how you have your computer set up to download and
store files that are downloaded. I have mine set to click on the save option
and I download it and can play it and other similar files in whatever
application I wish. I am not sure why so many people are having such a bad
time with this. I can try to find some other place to house it. I have
uploaded it to applevis, but I have not heard if it has been accepted. I'll
let you know.

Re: Announcing: All-new Bluetooth Speaker availeble now!

[Chris H]

Hello all
so does this device show up in Airplay even if the device is in line in 
mode or is charging? Sorry this may sound stupid, but surely you don't 
want to use Bluetooth all the time do you? I understand Airplay isn't 
via bluetooth, but I mean you don't want to use the speakers via 
bluetooth all the time surely. Any responses would be greatly 
appreciated. Thanks!

Chris.

It simply shows up (if turned on,) as a device to choose from when you
select airplay.
So for example, if i'm listening to Pandora and I select airplay, I would
see the Beatbox as an option, along with any other supported devices; like
Apple TV, stereo receiver, etc.
I've personally used it with Audible, Songza, OOTunes, and Pandora.

I wonder how the airplay thing would even work on this thing? I looked at
the manuals available and nothing is mentioned on how to use airplay with
it. I would assume that if it automatically creates a new network, the
limitation will be that you can only stream files you have, not from Pandora

or other stream services because when you switch the phone to a new network,

the Internet goes away.

Is there any way a blind person can check the battery status on the

Have you considered making a simular speaker which supports Airplay in

I ordered a StandScan Pro and 12V adapter yesterday. I also did not find the
12V battery holder on the site; even directly on the StandScan Pro product
page itself, where relevant accessories are also displayed, and you can add
them just by checking their corresponding boxes, the only things shown are
the 12V DC adapter and some camera lens kit. I don't think the SC folks
meant to sell the 12V battery pack; the description just says that different
battery packs can be used, a 9V or 12V, implying that you could go out and
just get what you wanted from anywhere. Actually just looked at the FAQ page
on the site, and it seems to confirm this; question is why are batteries not
included, and answer is that batteries are not allowed to be transported by
air.

What problem did you have with PayPal linkage? I am in the U.S., just
ordered a StandScan Pro and 12V adapter yesterday, paid via PayPal using
direct account transfer, and had no issues. Am looking forward to its
arrival! Hope the site works better for you next time!

Maria

I tried to order the ScanPro over the weekend. I didn't find the 12v battery
holder anywhere on their page. Just the wall adapter. I also didn't order
because their page didn't link to PayPal properly. I will probably contact
the manufacturer regarding the lighting before I make the purchase at this

Re: VoiceDream Reader, Activator, and treating books like music with hardware buttons

[Aman Singer]

Hi.
The phone has to be jailbroken to allow you to use the hardware keys
on the device as play/pause, previous track, and next track buttons.
The phone does not have to be jailbroken to use those commands with
VoiceDream. The jailbreaking of the device is needed to make the audio
control commands available through hardware buttons on the device, it
is not needed to make those audio control commands work on VoiceDream.
I hope that's of use.

Re: forced closing of an app that seems stuck

[RobH!]

Double tap the home key to get into task switcher, then find the offending 
app and do a double tap and hold until it makes the funny sound and says 
editing apps,  then double tap the offender to get rid of it out the task 
switcher.  That is as off as you can get an app.  Close app switcher and you 
can try the app again from here.

Hi there. I was using the app "focus" and had to log in after I had tried to 
post a message and now the app has frozen. Can I do a forced shut down to 
close it?
Thanks,
Jo

Re: Kobobooks - shard

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Tony,

Did you read the comments on Applevis and not just the original post? The 
comments are level 3 headings and should explain how to use this app.

I use Kobo all the time and have over 80 books in my Kobo library.

It isn't 100% accessible at the moment because I can't get the links to 
references to work, but for reading fiction, it's great. You can just do a 
two-finger flick up to read a whole chapter, and at the end, you slide your 
finger down the righthand side of the screen to the link, where you do the 
double-tap and hold to go to the next chapter.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Kobo

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Lynn,

I explained about buying Kobo books just yesterday on this list.

You have to create an account with Kobo on their website:
www.kobobooks.com

You buy books from their website as Apple does not permit buying books directly 
from apps. To do this, go to the Kobo home page and enter your search term 
(author's name or book title) into the search field and click Go. The results 
are shown as level 3 headings.

There are explanations on how to use the app on Applevis:

Look at the comments which are level 3 headings.

Kobo is an accessible app that's easy to use once you've got it set up 
correctly. I use it almost every day and buy a couple of books per week.

I am totally blind and have been using this app for three years.

cheers,

Anne
