Re: AtBat Losing Stream

2013-05-22 Thread Sean Paul
You tried changing the stream from the HTTP Live Streaming to the shoutcast 
default or alternate? Might want to give this a try then give us a full 
report on as to whether it works or not. When it cuts out? Does it come back 
after a minute or so? Or? is when it gone, it gone? I've had the gone for a 
few seconds then back again happen to me when listening to a couple games 
over the entire season however, it's just a few seconds then right back 
again.

Just starting last week, AtBat stops playing after about ten minutes. I have 
only used the KNBR San Francisco stream via the default stream. I did try 
theShoutcast default and also lost stream after ten minutes or so. So far, I 
have only tried my Touch latest generation. I am having no other problems 
with my WIFI using the computer or Apple TV with three devices.


Any ideas will be welcome. I did notice this issue last year, but so far 
this year it has worked flawlessly, until last week. The house closest to me 
is empty, and I don't know if neighbors on the other side have anything new, 
but I doubt it.


Thanks.

  National Braille Press just put out an iPad book. It's geared to

parents and teachers, so I don't know how helpful it would be, but your
friend could check the table of contents online and see if it sounds
helpful. Go to

  www.nbp.org

Re: Dictation In Spanish

2013-05-22 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi there. Since Siri is not available I would highly recommend Dragon dictate. 
It is a free app and if the iPhone is set to the Spanish language region and 
voice, Dragon dictation will also be in Spanish. It will listen in Spanish and 
it's menus and buttons will also be labeled in Spanish. Plus it is free. 
Because it is not fully integrated into the iPhone due to sandboxing, your 
customer will have to dictate whatever he or she wants and then copy it over to 
notes or email or text or whatever here she wants to do with that spoken 
dictated text. Just like Siri, DragonDictate will listen for up to around 30 
seconds. After which your customer will need to stop and then press the record 
button to continue. He can keep doing this and definitely I believe, until 
everything is said and then he or she can copy the text over.

Re: Gmail Questions

2013-05-22 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hello Keith. Even though the iPhone only shows you the last 50 or 100 messages 
depending on your settings, I completely understand your need to eventually 
reach zero inbox status. I only have about three or 400 messages in my inbox 
and it still drives me nuts. Like Chris said, you will need a PC client or Mac 
clients such as Thunderbird in order to delete all messages at once. 
Unfortunately neither the iPhone or the Google mail website allows you to 
select all messages and delete them in one swipe. However all is not lost, the 
nice thing is that you can go to the Gmail website and define filters to move 
messages which meet a certain criteria into certain folders. Google mail treats 
labels in the way that we think of as folders. What I would do first is go to 
the Google mail website and create as many labels as you think you will need. 
For example in my case I have things like receipts, confirmations, Amazon, iOS 
purchases, the iPhone, etc. I even have the labels for family, business, 
personal, read later, and more. Once you create these labels, you can start 
creating filters. For example you can create a filter and put the V iPhone 
address in the to field. When you first define a filter there is a test filter 
button. Activate that button and toward the bottom of the screen it will show 
you the search results of your inbox that have messages addressed to this list. 
This way you will know if the filter will work. Then you press the next button 
and define what you want to do with messages which meet this filter criteria. 
For example the filter I set for this list will skip the inbox and copy the 
messages over to the V iPhone label which looks like a folder in my iPhone or 
in Thunderbird. You mentioned in one of your emails that you set up filters to 
put things in personal. My guess is that maybe you did not check the box which 
tells it to skip the inbox. After all this long explanation, let me give you 
the best link for Gmail. Hopefully this will help clear your inbox.

weird iPad swipe gesture issue

2013-05-22 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi all. I've been playing more and more with the iPad mini this week and 
have come across some strange issues which I'm hoping are not cause for 
worry. This has to do with swiping. Many times if I want to see what is 
all on the screen I will just touch the various parts of the screen, 
just like I do on the iPhone. However I sometimes like to left/right 
swipe and this isn't seeming to be consistent on the iPad. So, I'm 
wondering if this is normal due to the different layouts, or if I might 
have a problem with mine. What happens for example if I'm toward the top 
of the screen and I swipe right over and over I would expect to go 
across the installed app icons to the right until the next line is 
reached, however many times when I swipe, I find that the selection has 
moved elsewhere. Either toward the middle of the screen, or even 
sometimes in the dock. The same is true if I'm inside an app like 
settings. I will select a category, like General on the left, and then 
touch the right side of the screen, then swipe right over and over, yet 
the information isn't read consistently like I think it should when you 
swipe right. I figured that maybe it's me who was messing up the swipe 
and maybe was swiping diagonal since it's a larger screen. However I've 
tested this by swiping left to right across the keyboard dots from the 
speed dots protector I've installed. And if the iPad has been in 
landscape mode, I've swiped left to right across the bottom of the 
screen. I have no problems swiping on the iPhone, and so I don't think 
I'm accidentally touching part of the screen before my swipe. I've been 
careful not to do that when testing this.


Ideas are welcome, and if there is something I don't know about the iPad 
navigation, that too, will be helpful. I don't know if this has to do 
with containers, or some other form of navigation, but so far it's 
proving to be a bit more tedious than with the iPhone.

Re: weird iPad swipe gesture issue

2013-05-22 Thread David Chittenden
Hi Raul,

I would suggest having a sighted person observe when you are flicking. Make 
sure the screen curtain is off. With the larger real-estate of the iPad, the 
chances for user variation increase exponentially. A few various experiments 
performed over the years consistently demonstrate that, though blind people 
believe they are moving straight, they are veering in a certain direction. When 
sighted people have their vision blocked, they do the same thing. The majority 
of research around this can be found in OM spatial awareness and blind people, 
and some information can be found be found when searching for information 
around blind people drawing straight lines on paper.

If your iPad is not making errors whilst you are touching various places on the 
display, I would tend to suspect user spatial awareness error.

Re: Charging ipod touch question

2013-05-22 Thread Eric
I am pretty sure the Kindle uses a micro USB, so no it will not work with your 
touch. Feel on the flat sides of the plug for two little prongs. If they are 
there, it is the USB micro charger. I think I am getting that term right.

Fleksy with iPad - Was getting an iPad mini

2013-05-22 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi, one thing which I've done is started to use Fleksy more on the iPad 
mini than I ever did on the iPhone. Typing on the iPhone is no issue for 
me and so never found Fleksy to be all that useful to me. However with 
the iPad mini, I flip that baby to landscape and can type pretty fast. 
yes, I unfortunately still have to copy my text if I want it elsewhere, 
but considering how much time I save the little extra is worth it so 
far. I also have the Sped Dots protector on it and it comes in handy 
considering there is a lot of screen to explore. Other than the weird 
swiping gesture issue I'm having, which I wrote about on another thread 
to the list, I am really liking the iPad mini.

Hi Raul.

I think you will love typing on the iPad Mini compared to the iPhone. Granted, 
I haven't had an iPhone ever, but I had an iPod 4Th gen for a while before my 
husband inherited it. I don't know how they did it, given the screen size, but 
you'll be able to type almost like you do on a full-sized QWERTY 
keyboard--except for those symbols and numbers. You still have to hit the 
buttons to get to those.

Good luck getting used to it; it probably will not take long, though. :)

Hey folks. Just thought I'd share with the group that I'm getting an iPad mini. 
Uncle Sam was generous this year with the tax return and so I am able to afford

have one, I have felt a bit like a hypocrite when teaching the iPad since I 
didn't have one and could only go by normal iOS usage and from reading things 
on how few things are different. Now, I'll be able to teach for real as it were.

I'm also looking to the shifting of doing certain things on the iPad vs the 
iPhone. I'm sure that will help my batteries on both devices.

Re: weird iPad swipe gesture issue

2013-05-22 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi David, well said. I'm not discounting that possibility as I stated in 
my original message. I will have someone look just to be sure, but the 
fact that in some tests I made sure to swipe across the bottom edge, 
meaning a way to keep it straight in case, and yet strange things still 
happened, leave me to believe that my spacial awareness is enough for 
the iPad. However I'm not perfect either and even following the edge, or 
a line of tactile dots might not be enough. Who knows.

Hi Raul,

I would suggest having a sighted person observe when you are flicking. Make sure 
the screen curtain is off. With the larger real-estate of the iPad, the chances for 
user variation increase exponentially. A few various experiments performed over the 
years consistently demonstrate that, though blind people believe they are moving 
straight, they are veering in a certain direction. When sighted people have their 
vision blocked, they do the same thing. The majority of research around this can be 
found in OM spatial awareness and blind people, and some information can be 
found be found when searching for information around blind people drawing straight

If your iPad is not making errors whilst you are touching various places on the

Hi all. I've been playing more and more with the iPad mini this week and have 
come across some strange issues which I'm hoping are not cause for worry. This 
has to do with swiping. Many times if I want to see what is all on the screen I 
will just touch the various parts of the screen, just like I do on the iPhone. 
However I sometimes like to left/right swipe and this isn't seeming to be 
consistent on the iPad. So, I'm wondering if this is normal due to the 
different layouts, or if I might have a problem with mine. What happens for 
example if I'm toward the top of the screen and I swipe right over and over I 
would expect to go across the installed app icons to the right until the next 
line is reached, however many times when I swipe, I find that the selection has 
moved elsewhere. Either toward the middle of the screen, or even sometimes in 
the dock. The same is true if I'm inside an app like settings. I will select a 
category, like General on the left, and then touch the right sid

e of the screen, then swipe right over and over, yet the information isn't read 
consistently like I think it should when you swipe right. I figured that maybe 
it's me who was messing up the swipe and maybe was swiping diagonal since it's 
a larger screen. However I've tested this by swiping left to right across the 
keyboard dots from the speed dots protector I've installed. And if the iPad has 
been in landscape mode, I've swiped left to right across the bottom of the 
screen. I have no problems swiping on the iPhone, and so I don't think I'm 
accidentally touching part of the screen before my swipe. I've been careful not 
to do that when testing this.


Ideas are welcome, and if there is something I don't know about the iPad 
navigation, that too, will be helpful. I don't know if this has to do with 
containers, or some other form of navigation, but so far it's proving to be a 
bit more tedious than with the iPhone.

For anyone with non-proprietory mailboxes, with webmail access, and very

SquirrelMail is good for this kind of management, including showing and 
selecting and even deleting all at once, and then purging the trash folder 
to get rid of them completey, to open up your disk storage limit again.  And 
all that can be done through the browser,  Safari for example. 
Non-proprietory means or eliminates  providers like Googlemail, yahoo, 
hotmail, msn,  and a bunchof other add-supported systems. This is the 
virtue, as Raul knows, of buying up your own domain and having it hosted on

Hello Keith. Even though the iPhone only shows you the last 50 or 100 
messages depending on your settings, I completely understand your need to 
eventually reach zero inbox status. I only have about three or 400 messages 
in my inbox and it still drives me nuts. Like Chris said, you will need a PC 
client or Mac clients such as Thunderbird in order to delete all messages at 
once. Unfortunately neither the iPhone or the Google mail website allows you 
to select all messages and delete them in one swipe. However all is not 
lost, the nice thing is that you can go to the Gmail website and define 
filters to move messages which meet a certain criteria into certain folders. 
Google mail treats labels in the way that we think of as folders. What I 
would do first is go to the Google mail website and create as many labels as 
you think you will need. For example in my case I have things like receipts, 
confirmations, Amazon, iOS purchases, the iPhone, etc. I even have the 
labels for family, business, personal, read later, and more. Once you create 
these labels, you can start creating filters. For example you can create a 
filter and put the V iPhone address in the to field. When you first define a 
filter there is a test filter button. Activate that button and toward the 
bottom of the screen it will show you the search results of your inbox that 
have messages addressed to this list. This way you will know if the filter 
will work. Then you press the next button and define what you want to do 
with messages which meet this filter criteria. For example the filter I set 
for this list will skip the inbox and copy the messages over to the V iPhone 
label which looks like a folder in my iPhone or in Thunderbird. You 
mentioned in one of your emails that you set up filters to put things in 
personal. My guess is that maybe you did not check the box which tells it to 
skip the inbox. After all this long explanation, let me give you the best 
link for Gmail. Hopefully this will help clear your inbox.

 Hello, list. I  totally ablowed the gmail horses to stampede, and my
 inbox is completely out of control, with several thousandand messages.
 So I have two questions.

 First, is it possible to delete the entire contents of my inbox
 without going through message by message? Second, I thought I had
 tagged my messages from this list to go to a Personal folder. However,
 they still come to my inbox with the tag Personal on each of them.
 Any ideas  how I can correct this?

 Thanks for any suggestions you can give.

Re: weird iPad swipe gesture issue

2013-05-22 Thread RobH!
Well, I have it as an issue, as there is so much space, so allignment goes 
astray; and maybe it is more sensitive to precision of direction.  Anyway, I 
have a solid case that frames the working part of the screen, so use the 
lower edge as a guide,  or one of the lines of dots on that SpeedDots cover 
you have, would help.
I get it right most the time, but a guide line helps.

Subject: weird iPad swipe gesture issue


Hi all. I've been playing more and more with the iPad mini this week and
have come across some strange issues which I'm hoping are not cause for
worry. This has to do with swiping. Many times if I want to see what is
all on the screen I will just touch the various parts of the screen,
just like I do on the iPhone. However I sometimes like to left/right
swipe and this isn't seeming to be consistent on the iPad. So, I'm
wondering if this is normal due to the different layouts, or if I might
have a problem with mine. What happens for example if I'm toward the top
of the screen and I swipe right over and over I would expect to go
across the installed app icons to the right until the next line is
reached, however many times when I swipe, I find that the selection has
moved elsewhere. Either toward the middle of the screen, or even
sometimes in the dock. The same is true if I'm inside an app like
settings. I will select a category, like General on the left, and then
touch the right side of the screen, then swipe right over and over, yet
the information isn't read consistently like I think it should when you
swipe right. I figured that maybe it's me who was messing up the swipe
and maybe was swiping diagonal since it's a larger screen. However I've
tested this by swiping left to right across the keyboard dots from the
speed dots protector I've installed. And if the iPad has been in
landscape mode, I've swiped left to right across the bottom of the
screen. I have no problems swiping on the iPhone, and so I don't think
I'm accidentally touching part of the screen before my swipe. I've been
careful not to do that when testing this.

Ideas are welcome, and if there is something I don't know about the iPad
navigation, that too, will be helpful. I don't know if this has to do
with containers, or some other form of navigation, but so far it's
proving to be a bit more tedious than with the iPhone.

Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App

2013-05-22 Thread Alan Paganelli
I think choice is good.  So far I haven't heard anybody say anything about a 
projected price for an NLS app.  I've been assuming it is going to be free but 
then again, I can't count the times I've been wrong!  And, nobody asked me my 
opinion.  Still, I keep a few books on my iPhone just in case I find myself 
sitting around with time on my hands and nothing to do like waiting around in 
the doctor's office.  This was why I've been asking about Bluetooth ear peaces. 
 I would like to be able to read wile I'm waiting, but I'm not very fond of the 
idea of a  hanging down.  If I have one ear open, it's easier to hear when they 
call my name.

Re: Charging ipod touch question

2013-05-22 Thread Russ Kiehne
One end of the usb cable that came with the Kindle has a micro usb 
connector, the other end of the cable has a standard usb connector.  I can 
connect the cable from my ipod touch to it's charger.  I just wanted to make 
sure it would nod damage my ipod touch by using the Kindle charger?

I am pretty sure the Kindle uses a micro USB, so no it will not work with 
your touch. Feel on the flat sides of the plug for two little prongs. If 
they are there, it is the USB micro charger. I think I am getting that term 
right.

Re: NLS Update on Talking Book App

I think you're wrong. I believe Raul specifically asked the discussion 
between David, Ricardo and myself on the feasibility of a way to sync 
your place in a book between different players and apps to stop. I think 
discussions of the NLS app is still obviously on topic for this list.

Square Card Reader, Does it work with VoiceOver?

2013-05-22 Thread Penny Reeder
Hi all,
Are there any merchants on this list who use the Square Card Reader
app with VoiceOver?  I have heard that the card reader plugs into the
headphone jack.  So, if that's the case, how can you hear what's
happening?  Can you use the Square Card Reader app and equipment along
with a bluetooth headset or IPhone dock?  Thanks for your help.

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software

2013-05-22 Thread Traci
Hello all, being a techy myself, Android always interests me.

The question I have is, how about the amount of accessible apps on Android?  My 
iPhone has dozens upon dozens of apps for radio streaming, games, productivity, 
etc.  Would I find that level of usability on Android at this point?

I often read how far Android has come in accessibility, but I have not red much 
in terms of all the android apps a blind user may have.

Thanks,

 Hi,  I teach both, and prefer android.  Apple accessibility is definitely 
 more seamless than androids.  Android's commitment to accessibility is firm, 
 but it is more fragmented as some one else said, and they haven't had nearly 
 as long to get it right as apple has.
 
 On the other hand, accessibility has somewhat stagnated on the I platform.  
 There's nothing new and exciting.  Where-as android is still adding new 
 features and supports.
 
 For a lot of my clients, IOS is still the way to go, but there's nothing I 
 personally want to do on IOS that I can't do on android.  Mail, calendar, 
 contacts, sms, skype, tunin radio.  In fact there are some things that 
 android has which IOS currently doesn't, such as an accessible diabetes 
 management system with sugar monitoring hardware, and a full featured 
 onboard GPS for the blind.
 
 Android devices can be had cheeper or more expensive depending on what you 
 want and your carrier.  Android peripherals are cheaper overall, or you can 
 get a phone with the hardware you want built in, such as qwerty keyboards 
 and FM receivers.  Android plans tend to be cheaper than IPhone plans even 
 without an agreement/term/bulloni-contract nonsense.
 
 ANdroid gives you flexibility over system voices and input methods and other 
 system tweaks that can be very important to blind people without 
 jailbreaking and voiding your warrantee.
 
 So, there are benefits, and I have clients who choose either or depending on 
 what their needs ar.e  I think they ar both good options at this point and I 
 appreciate having the choice.

Is anyone familiar with the SLUZZULS puzzle game?  In the description it says 
that it works with VoiceOver.  My understanding is that you have to somehow 
match colors by sliding the tiles around.  If someone could explain exactly 
what it is that I am supposed to do, I would breally appreciate it.  Also, here 
is the link in case someone would like to check it out.

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software

Yes, you would be quite pleased.  A lot of the apps you are used to on your 
IPhone are usable on android.  Skype, tunein radio, ebay, paypal, redlaser.  
transit apps, gps apps, and more.  Often i Read about apps on Viphone and go 
looking for android equivilants with good results.  Then there are some that 
are only built for android, such as the Emusic app, the myglugohealth app, the 
near-by explorer gps for the blind and so on.

I know there are some that want an all in one device, but the iPhone
hasn't made my Booksense obsolete yet. Even when the NLS app for the
iPhone is released, I don't envision giving up my Booksense altogether,
but I'm not ruling out that possibility. I'd say obsolescence is in the

device to their iPhone is a personal preference, just as others on the

 Hi,
 
 IDK, they are adding new feature but, most of them IOS had from the start.  
 For example, navigating web pages by links, headings, etc.  I think there 
 comes a point where you don't really need to add more accessibility 
 features, you just refine the ones you have.  This in my opinion is where 
 Apple is while, Android is still adding some essential accessibility 
 features.  And even then, not all devices running Android will have them.  
 This makes more work for the blind consumer.  This is actually one of my 
 biggest gripes with the platform.

RE: Charging ipod touch question

2013-05-22 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Russ,

At first when I read your message I thought you were asking whether you can
plug the Kindle cable into the iPod Touch and the answer to that is No.
However, after I re-read your message I think what you are asking is whether
you can plug the USB end which can plug into a computer into the wall
charger that came with your Kindle. The answer to that would be Yes, you can
use any USB wall adapter you want as USB is a standard. I have heard some
people on the list say that Apple cables are supposed to have some sort of
sensor or chip in them and you have to use an Apple adapter, but I have yet
to try any other adapter to find it didn't work. I have used the wall
adapter that came with my Jambox, one that came with another speaker and
even a Belkin travel power bar which has 2 regular outlets and 2 USB
outlets.


Regards,
Sieghard

I am pretty sure the Kindle uses a micro USB, so no it will not work with

Have anyone noticed when using grocery pal that it is impossible to get any
of the weekly ads? The app keeps saying sorry, we are unable to retrieve any
ads for this store. Can anyone recommend another app that is similar to
grocery pal? Thanks in advance.

RE: NLS Update on Talking Book App

2013-05-22 Thread Rose Combs
Since I have spent much time in doctor's offices and waiting rooms, hospital
rooms labs etc, I certainly am looking forward to this app and yes, I have
been considering either an iPod touch or iPad mini but so far I have not
done either.  I spend a lot of time reading Audible books while I wait am
almost never with credits because of that and have a ton of NLS stuff I want
to read but I don't want to carry a phone and a Stream with me, my purse is
heavy enough with all the paper work, extra wallet, keys and other junk that
gets dumped in there during my husband's hospital stays.  Being able to put
NLS on there would be nice.  I have Kindle and iBooks and Bookshare but,
when in noisy places I prefer human narration.

Hi Christopher and John,

Many on this list who take full advantage of all the wonderful features and
capabilities of the iPhone forget that there are still a lot of people out
there who are blind or visually impaired and who either don't want or don't
need a smartphone which comes with half a mortgage in the form of an
expensive monthly plan.

For me the Stream or Booksense both of which I owned at one point also don't
have any attraction anymore and instead of spending $300 or $350 or whatever
these devices cost nowadays on one of these I'd much rather buy an iPod
Touch or iPad Mini as a companion device for my iPhone. But, as I said, a
lot of blind people are perfectly happy with a Stream or Booksense and I
would imagine it will be quite a while yet before such specialty devices
become obsolete. Oh, maybe a Stream or Booksense doesn't have much to do
with an iPhone, but I think it's OK to discuss them in the context of
services like NLS and I guess if Raul or Cara don't agree they will let us
know.


Regards,
Sieghard

taken it out once it was put in and other than the bottom flap not staying

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software

2013-05-22 Thread Christopher Chaltain
IMHO, Android the OS is as secure as IOS the OS. With Apple though, you 
get quite a bit of extra security because access to the device is so 
limited. For example, you can only install apps from the App Store, and 
although malware has gotten into the App Store, it doesn't usually stay 
there for long. Android users need to be much more careful as to the 
apps they install than do iPhone users, just as Windows users need to 
practice some good common sense when downloading applications and 
content to their PC's.


No, you don't need an application like iTunes to manage your content on 
an Android phone. With use of the cloud, you don't need iTunes much to 
manage your iPhone any more either.

Dah!  I can't believe I forgot to mention dropbox.  That's definitely

I believe pandora is as well, but I'm not 100% sure since Tunein radio does 
everything I need.

Gaming isn't my specialty either.  I haven't seen it come up much on the 
eyes-free group either.  That may be one area where IPhone apps are still ahead.

There's a website for accessible android apps.
www.androidaccess.net
It's similar to applevis in that users can post accessibility ratings and

ANdroid security definitely isn't up to IPhone security.  That's the price you 
pay for openness.  However, you can get viper or ESET for your phone which 
helps.  you also have full control over the permissions apps have and can 
choose not to install apps if you don't want them to have specific permissions. 
 There's a bit of a trade off, but so far, what I've saved on app purchases on 
android vs my IOS device has made it well worth while.

 Hello all, being a techy myself, Android always interests me.
 
 The question I have is, how about the amount of accessible apps on Android?  
 My iPhone has dozens upon dozens of apps for radio streaming, games, 
 productivity, etc.  Would I find that level of usability on Android at this 
 point?
 
 I often read how far Android has come in accessibility, but I have not red 
 much in terms of all the android apps a blind user may have.
 
 Thanks,
 Traci

 Hi,
 
 IDK, they are adding new feature but, most of them IOS had from the start.  
 For example, navigating web pages by links, headings, etc.  I think there 
 comes a point where you don't really need to add more accessibility features, 
 you just refine the ones you have.  This in my opinion is where Apple is 
 while, Android is still adding some essential accessibility features.  And 
 even then, not all devices running Android will have them.  This makes more 
 work for the blind consumer.  This is actually one of my biggest gripes with 
 the platform.

 Hi,  I teach both, and prefer android.  Apple accessibility is definitely 
 more seamless than androids.  Android's commitment to accessibility is firm, 
 but it is more fragmented as some one else said, and they haven't had nearly 
 as long to get it right as apple has.
 
 On the other hand, accessibility has somewhat stagnated on the I platform.  
 There's nothing new and exciting.  Where-as android is still adding new 
 features and supports.
 
 For a lot of my clients, IOS is still the way to go, but there's nothing I 
 personally want to do on IOS that I can't do on android.  Mail, calendar, 
 contacts, sms, skype, tunin radio.  In fact there are some things that 
 android has which IOS currently doesn't, such as an accessible diabetes 
 management system with sugar monitoring hardware, and a full featured onboard 
 GPS for the blind.
 
 Android devices can be had cheeper or more expensive depending on what you 
 want and your carrier.  Android peripherals are cheaper overall, or you can 
 get a phone with the hardware you want built in, such as qwerty keyboards and 
 FM receivers.  Android plans tend to be cheaper than IPhone plans even 
 without an agreement/term/bulloni-contract nonsense.
 
 ANdroid gives you flexibility over system voices and input methods and other 
 system tweaks that can be very important to blind people without jailbreaking 
 and voiding your warrantee.
 
 So, there are benefits, and I have clients who choose either or depending on 
 what their needs ar.e  I think they ar both good options at this

RE: SLUZZULS, puzzle game

2013-05-22 Thread Sarah Cranston
To answer your question, yes, Sluzzles is accessible. Having said that, I have 
to say that it's an incredibly complex game. My problem with it is that there 
is so much going on on the screen, it's hard to tell where you are. It's 
similar to a Sudoku in shape and size. The nine different colors are indicated 
with nine different letters, A through I. If you like sliding puzzles, give 
this one a go. Just be aware that it's large and very dense. Smiles

Is anyone familiar with the SLUZZULS puzzle game?  In the description it says 
that it works with VoiceOver.  My understanding is that you have to somehow 
match colors by sliding the tiles around.  If someone could explain exactly 
what it is that I am supposed to do, I would breally appreciate it.  Also, here

Of course they could. The US Post Office charges to deliver mail, you 
have toll roads, the State department charges you if you want a rush put 
on a passport application and so on. It's not like you can't get players 
and books for free. You'd only be paying for an app to read your books 
on a smart phone.


Note, I'm not saying it will be a paid app, I rather suspect it will be 
free, but I don't know.


As a tax payer, I know I was pleased when I had the choice to get a 
passport on the regular schedule or pay to get it on a accelerated 
schedule. I thought it was great that the government took something that 
was a cost and turned it into a profit center. My taxes shouldn't have 
to subsidize procrastinators. BTW, I needed the passport right away for 
business travel, and my employer paid to ensure I got my passport on time.


I'm not sure how I'd feel if the NLS app was a paid app. I guess I'd 
like it to be free, but I also know I'd pay a few dollars for it as 
well. As a tax payer, I'd probably be OK asking those who could afford 
smart phones to help subsidize the cost of their app.


I guess we won't know for a while one way or the other, so it's probably 
a waste of time to speculate.

  Subject: RE: NLS Update on Talking Book App

  Hi Christopher and John,

  Many on this list who take full advantage of all the wonderful features and
  capabilities of the iPhone forget that there are still a lot of people out
  there who are blind or visually impaired and who either don't want or don't
  need a smartphone which comes with half a mortgage in the form of an
  expensive monthly plan.

  For me the Stream or Booksense both of which I owned at one point also don't
  have any attraction anymore and instead of spending $300 or $350 or whatever
  these devices cost nowadays on one of these I'd much rather buy an iPod
  Touch or iPad Mini as a companion device for my iPhone. But, as I said, a
  lot of blind people are perfectly happy with a Stream or Booksense and I
  would imagine it will be quite a while yet before such specialty devices
  become obsolete. Oh, maybe a Stream or Booksense doesn't have much to do
  with an iPhone, but I think it's OK to discuss them in the context of
  services like NLS and I guess if Raul or Cara don't agree they will let us
  know.


  Regards,
  Sieghard

RE: sluzzuls -- lining up the colors

2013-05-22 Thread Sarah Cranston
It's weird. It has to be organized into 9 by 9 squares. It really does remind 
me of a Sudoku, only the large boxes have to contain only one number instead of 
all nine. So, to solve the puzzle, you have to put all nine A's in the top left 
box, all the B's in the top middle box, all the C's in the top right box, and 
so on. I hope that made sense. You arrange the puzzle by sliding the columns up 
or down and sliding the rows to the left or right. The VoiceOver feedback is 
excellent, it's just a very daunting puzzle.

 I know there are some that want an all in one device, but the iPhone
 hasn't made my Booksense obsolete yet. Even when the NLS app for the
 iPhone is released, I don't envision giving up my Booksense 
altogether,
 but I'm not ruling out that possibility. I'd say obsolescence is in 
the
 eye of the beholder and whether someone prefers a Booksense or similar
 device to their iPhone is a personal preference, just as others on the
 list have said they prefer having a tablet in addition to their 
iPhone.

 Hi Scott,
 
 My mailed documents took about 2 minutes to show up in the Kindle app,
 except for one that I tried to convert that was an invalid document
 type. In that case, when I checked my email, there was a notice that
 the conversion had failed.
 
 The documents show up in your Docs library, so they'll be displayed
 if the screen heading is All Items or Docs on your Kindle home
 page. You can switch libraries by double tapping the button for the
 library, which is the first item on your library screen -- at the top
 center of the screen, just below the time on the status menu bar.  If
 you add documents, or if you decide to use the Newsstand to
 subscribe to magazines or journals, you'll probably find it more
 convenient to navigate to separate libraries on your device, instead
 of having everything mixed together. Either touch the button for your
 library in the heading area at the top center of the screen, or
 navigate there with a four finger tap in the top half of the screen,
 and then double tap.  On the Libraries screen you can flick through
 the list (All Items, Books, Newsstand, or Docs) and double tap
 to select.  You can also use the search option from this screen to
 find books or documents. When I tested sending documents for the first
 time, I switched my selected library to Docs.  The top of the Docs
 library screen also lists your personal Kindle email address
 associated with this device at the top of the screen.  VoiceOver says
 send documents to user id AT kindle.com.  If you want to force the
 screen to refresh, you can do a double tap and hold on the email
 address and then, without lifting your finger from the screen, pull
 vertically down, and then release.  You'll hear VoiceOver say sync
 finished.  However, I didn't need to force the sync in order to  find
 the document I emailed.
 
 I didn't try any fancy browser or program add-ons when sending the
 trial documents.  I just created an email with an attached document in
 the normal way (e.g., on a Mac you can either just do a Command-C to
 copy a file in Finder, and a Command-V to paste it into an email, or
 you can select one or multiple files, and then use  a service menu
 option to create a New email with selection.  I just typed in the
 email address, especially since I wanted to make sure that both the
 regular email and the variant using free.kindle.com instead of
 kindle.com would work.  I started with short files of the different
 listed valid file types, since I wanted to check how these worked
 before sending long files.  This was how I found out that highlighting
 and notes don't work if you send a document file and don't use the
 convert option.  You also won't be able to get table of contents
 navigation unless you send a file in mobi format.  The Mac has lots of
 authoring tools for ePub, but you'd need to convert ebook format to
 use all the features with the Kindle app.

Re: Question about emailing with fleksy

2013-05-22 Thread Garth Humphreys
As with any email you create on iOS outside the mail app, it will automatically 
be from the default account. However once you've got the email there it is easy 
to change the account from which it is being sent. Simply double tap on where 
you see the account, i.e. your email address.  This will open up the Cc, Bcc 
and From fields for editing.   You will need to double tap on your account 
again than there will be a picker at the bottom of the screen from which you 
can choose the email account from which you want to send.

Plantronics am 55 Bluetooth manual

Any suggestions where to go or how best to search. So far this seems pretty

  I know there are some that want an all in one device, but the iPhone
  hasn't made my Booksense obsolete yet. Even when the NLS app for the
  iPhone is released, I don't envision giving up my Booksense altogether,
  but I'm not ruling out that possibility. I'd say obsolescence is in the
  eye of the beholder and whether someone prefers a Booksense or similar
  device to their iPhone is a personal preference, just as others on the
  list have said they prefer having a tablet in addition to their iPhone.

 Any ideas will be welcome. I did notice this issue last year, but so far this

total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6 users

2013-05-22 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi all. As you may or may not know, I'm a Google Voice fan. One of the 
primary reasons why I jailbreak is to fully integrate Google Voice with 
my iPhone. This means total integration in making and receiving phone 
calls as well as texts. I was able to do this fine with jailbroken iOS 
4.X and 5.X using 2 tweaks called Phone GV Extension and SMS GV 
Extension. These allow you to tap on a number anywhere and call like 
normal, but the call originates from your Google number instead of your 
real cell number. The sms tweak is the same for making and receiving 
texts using the regular messages app, meaning that it will come to and 
from your Google number. All of this was lost in the jailbreak of iOS6 
because the developer didn't update those tweaks to work with iOS6.


However a couple of weeks ago, a new developer who took over those 
tweaks released a new tweak called Call on GV. This is the calling 
portion of the Google voice tweak allowing you to seamlessly make and 
receive Google voice calls on your phone using the phone app or tapping 
on a number from anywhere. Today I discovered that he released the SMS 
on GV tweak, which adds the functionality to sms texting as well. So, 
this makes my Google Voice experience complete once more on my phone.


Please note that without jailbreaking you can still use a Google Voice 
number with your iPhone, but you will need to do it through an app such 
as the official and free Google Voice app, or from the highly 
recommended app called GV Connect. Because it's not a total integration, 
you have to make phone calls from that app's dialer, and you have to do 
all your texting from within the app. So, it's not a total loss. However 
if you are inside another app which wants to send out a text message to 
share information, it will send it from your real cell number instead of 
your Google number. This is why jailbreaking is necessary.


I hope this helps some of you out there, and please note that this 
message doesn't mean you should jailbreak. Remember it's not for 
everyone. It's not illegal, but it does void your warranty. All that 
being said, my phone is out of warranty, and so I'm fine.

Re: total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6 users

2013-05-22 Thread Kyle Seitz

hi Raul,

This is great news indeed!  I'll install the tweaks, but is there a way to 
turn off the tweak if you'd rather dial from your regular cell number 
instead of from your GV number?


Kyle

Subject: total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6 users

Hi all. As you may or may not know, I'm a Google Voice fan. One of the
primary reasons why I jailbreak is to fully integrate Google Voice with
my iPhone. This means total integration in making and receiving phone
calls as well as texts. I was able to do this fine with jailbroken iOS
4.X and 5.X using 2 tweaks called Phone GV Extension and SMS GV
Extension. These allow you to tap on a number anywhere and call like
normal, but the call originates from your Google number instead of your
real cell number. The sms tweak is the same for making and receiving
texts using the regular messages app, meaning that it will come to and
from your Google number. All of this was lost in the jailbreak of iOS6
because the developer didn't update those tweaks to work with iOS6.

However a couple of weeks ago, a new developer who took over those
tweaks released a new tweak called Call on GV. This is the calling
portion of the Google voice tweak allowing you to seamlessly make and
receive Google voice calls on your phone using the phone app or tapping
on a number from anywhere. Today I discovered that he released the SMS
on GV tweak, which adds the functionality to sms texting as well. So,
this makes my Google Voice experience complete once more on my phone.

Please note that without jailbreaking you can still use a Google Voice
number with your iPhone, but you will need to do it through an app such
as the official and free Google Voice app, or from the highly
recommended app called GV Connect. Because it's not a total integration,
you have to make phone calls from that app's dialer, and you have to do
all your texting from within the app. So, it's not a total loss. However
if you are inside another app which wants to send out a text message to
share information, it will send it from your real cell number instead of
your Google number. This is why jailbreaking is necessary.

I hope this helps some of you out there, and please note that this
message doesn't mean you should jailbreak. Remember it's not for
everyone. It's not illegal, but it does void your warranty. All that
being said, my phone is out of warranty, and so I'm fine.

Re: total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6 users

2013-05-22 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi, for the dialing what I do is make the phone tweak prompt me if I 
want to direct dial, or carrier dial. If you choose direct dial, then it 
makes the call via a Google voice gateway number, which still shows up 
as the number you are really calling in your iPhone log. If you choose 
carrier, then the phone tweak is bypassed. It also comes with an app 
which installs on the home screen called GV Dial rules. This is where 
you can add numbers which you want to specify how they should be dialed. 
So, if you have certain numbers which yhou would dial with Google voice, 
or with carrier, you can put them there so it will always use that choice.


In the past with the older extensions there used to be an sB settings 
toggle to turn on and off the gv send portion, but I don't know if there 
is a way to do that with the SMS on GV tweak since it's so new.

Re: Otter box case

2013-05-22 Thread Arianna
Yeah! I love my Otterbox Defender! I've had this case ever since I got my first 
iPhone in September of 2010. It's taken a pretty good beating, but it's 
protected my phone very well. it's only in the last 6 months or so that it's 
really started to look the worse for wear. The headphone jack cover has come 
completely off on one side, so it just kind of hangs there if it's not pushed 
into it's slot. The hard shell has also taken damage, the most noticible being 
the chunk of plastic that keeps the top of the case shut going flying when the 
phone took a dive off my bathroom sink. Other than that, this case has survived 
rather well.


Thanks,
Ari

 Hi Nancy,
 I have a excellent tutorial called “IPad Accessability by Robert miller” in 
 RTF format.  I f you wish I can email it off list as an attachment.
  
  
 Heavenly Father, have mercy on all your people and heal the divisions in the 
 body of Christ. May all Christian people throughout the world attain the 
 unity for which Jesus prayed on the eve of his sacrifice. Renew in us the 
 power of the Spirit that we may be a sign of that unity and a means of its 
 growth. Increase in us a fervent love for all our brothers and sisters in 
 Jesus Christ.
 Psalm 16:1-2,5-9,11
 1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. 
 2 I say to the LORD, You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you. 
 5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. 
 6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yes, I have a goodly 
 heritage. 
 7 I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs 
 me. 
 8 I keep the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall 
 not be moved. 
 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also dwells 
 secure. 
 11 You show me the path of life; in your presence there is fulness of joy, in 
 your right hand are pleasures for evermore.

 Hi,
  
 National Braille Press just put out an iPad book. It's geared to sighted 
 parents and teachers, so I don't know how helpful it would be, but your 
 friend could check the table of contents online and see if it sounds helpful. 
 Go to
 www.nbp.org
 and search for iPad on the main page to find it. They also put out a book of 
 raised drawings of iPad screens, which might be helpful.

RE: i phone 4s

2013-05-22 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Kevin,

Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes. Go to your device and
tab until you get to the Restore button. You can do a full restore and if
you really want to start from scratch, then set up your phone as a new
device, this will put it back to how it came from the factory. \However,
this means you have to reinstall all your apps and sync all your music
again, also you will have to set up any email accounts again, re-enter
passwords such as for WiFi and so on.

Depending on how much content you had on your phone it can be a real piece
of work and take you a few hours, but your phone will be perfectly reset and
there are situations where any issues may show up again if you simply do a
restore and then back up from a backup you did before.

Sieghard

 Hi, for the dialing what I do is make the phone tweak prompt me if I want to

 phone tweak is bypassed. It also comes with an app which installs on the home 
 screen called GV Dial rules. This is where you can add numbers which you want 
 to specify how they should be dialed. So, if you have certain numbers which 
 yhou would dial with Google voice, or with carrier, you can put them there so 
 it will always use that choice.
 
 In the past with the older extensions there used to be an sB settings toggle 
 to turn on and off the gv send portion, but I don't know if there is a way to 
 do that with the SMS on GV tweak since it's so new.

 Subject: total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6
 users
 
 Hi all. As you may or may not know, I'm a Google Voice fan. One of the
 primary reasons why I jailbreak is to fully integrate Google Voice with
 my iPhone. This means total integration in making and receiving phone
 calls as well as texts. I was able to do this fine with jailbroken iOS
 4.X and 5.X using 2 tweaks called Phone GV Extension and SMS GV
 Extension. These allow you to tap on a number anywhere and call like
 normal, but the call originates from your Google number instead of your
 real cell number. The sms tweak is the same for making and receiving
 texts using the regular messages app, meaning that it will come to and
 from your Google number. All of this was lost in the jailbreak of iOS6
 because the developer didn't update those tweaks to work with iOS6.
 
 However a couple of weeks ago, a new developer who took over those
 tweaks released a new tweak called Call on GV. This is the calling
 portion of the Google voice tweak allowing you to seamlessly make and
 receive Google voice calls on your phone using the phone app or tapping
 on a number from anywhere. Today I discovered that he released the SMS
 on GV tweak, which adds the functionality to sms texting as well. So,
 this makes my Google Voice experience complete once more on my phone.
 
 Please note that without jailbreaking you can still use a Google Voice
 number with your iPhone, but you will need to do it through an app such
 as the official and free Google Voice app, or from the highly
 recommended app called GV Connect. Because it's not a total integration,
 you have to make phone calls from that app's dialer, and you have to do
 all your texting from within the app. So, it's not a total loss. However
 if you are inside another app which wants to send out a text message to
 share information, it will send it from your real cell number instead of
 your Google number. This is why jailbreaking is necessary.
 
 I hope this helps some of you out there, and please note that this
 message doesn't mean you should jailbreak. Remember it's not for
 everyone. It's not illegal, but it does void your warranty. All that
 being said, my phone is out of warranty, and so I'm fine.

IMHO, Android the OS is as secure as IOS the OS. With Apple though, you
get quite a bit of extra security because access to the device is so
limited. For example, you can only install apps from the App Store, and
although malware has gotten into the App Store, it doesn't usually stay
there for long. Android users need to be much more careful as to the
apps they install than do iPhone users, just as Windows users need to
practice some good common sense when downloading applications and
content to their PC's.

No, you don't need an application like iTunes to manage your content on
an Android phone. With use of the cloud, you don't need iTunes much to
manage your iPhone any more either.

Hi,  I teach both, and prefer android.  Apple accessibility is

On the other hand, accessibility has somewhat stagnated on the I

adding new features and supports.

For a lot of my clients, IOS is still the way to go, but there's nothing
I personally want to do on IOS that I can't do on android.  Mail,
calendar, contacts, sms, skype, tunin radio.  In fact there are some
things that android has which IOS currently doesn't, such as an
accessible diabetes management system with sugar monitoring hardware,
and a full featured onboard GPS for the blind.

Android devices can be had cheeper or more expensive depending on what
you want and your carrier.  Android peripherals are cheaper overall, or
you can get a phone with the hardware you want built in, such as qwerty
keyboards and FM receivers.  Android plans tend to be cheaper than
IPhone plans even without an agreement/term/bulloni-contract nonsense.

For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we 

can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

   --Ephesians 2:10, NLT

 

Lord Jesus, you satisfy the deepest longing of our heart and you feed us
with the finest of wheat (Psalm 81:16). Fill me with gratitude and give me a
generous heart that I may freely share with others what you have given to
me. 

Psalm 27:1-4, 11-14 

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the
stronghold of my life;  of whom shall I be afraid? 
2 When evildoers assail me, uttering slanders against me, my adversaries and
foes, they shall stumble and fall. 
3 Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear;  though war
arise against me, yet I will be confident. 
4 One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after;  that I may
dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty
of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple. 
11 Teach me your way, O LORD; and lead me on a level path because of my
enemies. 
12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have
risen against me, and they breathe out violence.

Hi, for the dialing what I do is make the phone tweak prompt me if I want to

via a Google voice gateway number, which still shows up as the number you are 
really calling in your iPhone log. If you choose carrier, then the phone tweak 
is bypassed. It also comes with an app which installs on the home screen called 
GV Dial rules. This is where you can add numbers which you want to specify how 
they should be dialed. So, if you have certain numbers which yhou would dial 
with Google voice, or with carrier, you can put them there so it will always 
use that choice.

In the past with the older extensions there used to be an sB settings toggle to 
turn on and off the gv send portion, but I don't know if there is a way to do 
that with the SMS on GV tweak since it's so new.

Subject: total Google Voice integration once again available for iOS 6
users

Hi all. As you may or may not know, I'm a Google Voice fan. One of the
primary reasons why I jailbreak is to fully integrate Google Voice with
my iPhone. This means total integration in making and receiving phone
calls as well as texts. I was able to do this fine with jailbroken iOS
4.X and 5.X using 2 tweaks called Phone GV Extension and SMS GV
Extension. These allow you to tap on a number anywhere and call like
normal, but the call originates from your Google number instead of your
real cell number. The sms tweak is the same for making and receiving
texts using the regular messages app, meaning that it will come to and
from your Google number. All of this was lost in the jailbreak of iOS6
because the developer didn't update those tweaks to work with iOS6.

However a couple of weeks ago, a new developer who took over those
tweaks released a new tweak called Call on GV. This is the calling
portion of the Google voice tweak allowing you to seamlessly make and
receive Google voice calls on your phone using the phone app or tapping
on a number from anywhere. Today I discovered that he released the SMS
on GV tweak, which adds the functionality to sms texting as well. So,
this makes my Google Voice experience complete once more on my phone.

Please note that without jailbreaking you can still use a Google Voice
number with your iPhone, but you will need to do it through an app such
as the official and free Google Voice app, or from the highly
recommended app called GV Connect. Because it's not a total integration,
you have to make phone calls from that app's dialer, and you have to do
all your texting from within the app. So, it's not a total loss. However
if you are inside another app which wants to send out a text message to
share information, it will send it from your real cell number instead of
your Google number. This is why jailbreaking is necessary.

I hope this helps some of you out there, and please note that this
message doesn't mean you should jailbreak. Remember it's not for
everyone. It's not illegal, but it does void your warranty. All that
being said, my phone is out of warranty, and so I'm fine.

Re: help with reminders

2013-05-22 Thread Woody Anna Dresner
Hi Paul,

You can definitely set a recurring reminder. I think the easiest thing to do 
would be to ask Siri to remind you on June 18 at 7 PM or whatever time and date 
you next want to be reminded. Siri should show you the reminder and give you 
the opportunity to approve or reject it. Approve it, and then open the 
Reminders app, find the reminder, and press Edit. The date and time should be 
shown. There's also a Repeat button. Double-tap that and choose Every Month. 
Then you should be reminded at the same time and date each month.

HTH,
Anna

good calendar app

Hello everyone,
I am still having problems with my yahoo bellsouth calendar not syncing to my 
phone and my phone not syncing to my yahoo calendar on my computer.  It does 
appear to be syncing with the cloud, but, as we all know, jaws and icloud don't 
work too well together.  
Is their another calendar app that works well with voice over and that I can 
somehow sync it with my computer.  My problem is that I want to have my 
calendar in more than one place that is accessible to me.  I do not own any 
other idevices, therefore my calendar isn't syncing to an iPad or anything like 
that. If my phone was to happen to go out, I wouldn't be able to view my 
calendar without sighted help from someone that could view it on iCloud.

 IMHO, Android the OS is as secure as IOS the OS. With Apple though, you
 get quite a bit of extra security because access to the device is so
 limited. For example, you can only install apps from the App Store, and
 although malware has gotten into the App Store, it doesn't usually stay
 there for long. Android users need to be much more careful as to the
 apps they install than do iPhone users, just as Windows users need to
 practice some good common sense when downloading applications and
 content to their PC's.
 
 No, you don't need an application like iTunes to manage your content on
 an Android phone. With use of the cloud, you don't need iTunes much to
 manage your iPhone any more either.

 accessibility features, you just refine the ones you have.  This in my

RE: help with reminders

2013-05-22 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Paul,

 

As Anna pointed out, SIRI can definitely set a recurring reminder. I wonder
if before you forgot to confirm the reminder and that is why it didn't work.
I, for example, asked SIRI to Remind me to take the garbage out every
Tuesday at 8 AM. SIRI showed me the reminder and I tapped on Yes to
confirm, now every Tuesday morning at 8 I get a reminder saying Take the
Garbage out.

 

In your case, you would say, using telephone bill as an example along with
the 18th and 8 AM as the reminder time:

Remind me to pay my telephone bill at 8 AM on the 18th of every month

I just tried this and SIRI came back and said Here is your reminder
starting on June 18th at 8 AM, Pay my telephone bill.

 

I find SIRI is by far the easiest and quickest way to set reminders and I
never use the Alarmed app any more. I guess it has some features like
nagging and setting the reminder to come up a certain time before the actual
time you want it and so on, but if I want to be reminded of a 9 AM dentist
appointment half an hour early, I just ask SIRI to Remind me about my 9
o'clock dentist appointment at 8:30 AM. I can have my reminder done before
I even have time to unlock my phone and open the Alarmed app.

Sieghard

Re: Apple iPhone versus android software

2013-05-22 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Well, of course there are no antimalware apps for IOS. Apple would have 
to allow this in both the App Store and the IOS SDK. This has no bearing 
on the underlying security of IOS though.


The IOS ecosystem is more secure than Android's ecosystem, as I said in 
my original email, and there's no debate on this.  For this reason, 
there isn't a need at the moment for antimalware software on IOS. This 
doesn't mean that the underlying IOS operating system is more secure 
than the underlying Android operating system. Malware has crept into the 
App Store, although to this point it hasn't stayed there long. Security 
vulnerabilities in IOS are exploited in order to jail break IOS. Apple 
has had to release security fixes for IOS. There is plenty of malware on 
jail broken iPhones.


Antimalware software for Android phones is there to protect against 
malicious software you could put on your phone in various ways. The fact 
that this software exists, in no way indicates that the underlying OS is 
less secure, and in fact supports Android's commitment to security in 
their willingness to open up the Android SDK to allow for the scanning 
of malware.


Malware authors go after Android and not IOS because it's more open, not 
because it's less secure. There are plenty of articles on the web that 
talk about how as an OS, IOS has more known security vulnerabilities in 
it than does Android. Here's just one such article 
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2262231/apple-ios-had-more-security-vulnerabilities-than-android-in-2012


Since the IOS ecosystem is more secure than Android's, and since most 
people agree that the unjailbroken IOS ecosystem doesn't need any 
antimalware software, I think the debate as to how secure the underlying 
OS's are is academic and doesn't need to be hashed out on this list. The 
unsubstantiated statements made in this thread on how Android is less 
secure than IOS isn't going to change my opinion based on the security 
papers I've read, and I can't imagine pointing to any such research is 
going to change the mind of the die hard Apple purist who's convinced 
IOS can't be broken into.

I believe they sell anti-malware for iOs also, so what does that say?  LOL.

Re: good calendar app

2013-05-22 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I don't use Yahoo!, but it looks like you should be able to sinc your 
Yahoo! calendar with your iPhone. Have you followed the steps at 
http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=contenty=PROD_MAIL_MLlocale=en_HKid=SLN4922 
In Googling for this, I also came across articles more specific to Bell 
South.


I use Google Calendar, and I don't have any problem syncing it with my 
iPhone. I just use the native calendar app on the iPhone, the Google 
Calendar web site or plug ins for Thunderbird to work with the Google 
Calendar.

Hello everyone,
I am still having problems with my yahoo bellsouth calendar not syncing to my 
phone and my phone not syncing to my yahoo calendar on my computer.  It does 
appear to be syncing with the cloud, but, as we all know, jaws and icloud don't 
work too well together.
Is their another calendar app that works well with voice over and that I can 
somehow sync it with my computer.  My problem is that I want to have my 
calendar in more than one place that is accessible to me.  I do not own any 
other idevices, therefore my calendar isn't syncing to an iPad or anything like 
that. If my phone was to happen to go out, I wouldn't be able to view my 
calendar without sighted help from someone that could view it on iCloud.
