Okay, Sieghard may be a special case and literally only have one restaurant nearby, at least according to our database. Remember, the old app showed businesses like spas, salons, etc., so now there are going to be less results. When there is exactly one match, it doesn't bother showing a list, but takes you directly to the info for that one business. From our emails, I know you live in a somewhat rural area in Canada. You can change your location using the Settings button from within the Help screen. We plan to make that Settings button a more prominent button on the opening screen. If you change your location to Vancouver for example, you might get to experience what the app has to offer in a more populated city. In fact, I just pretended to be in your city, and experienced what you did, then changed it to Vancouver and got a lot more results. Those hidden buttons are just redundant. People were complaining because they were text fields that displayed the name of the meal, etc., but that info is also provided with the photo button. Folks thought they could type in them, because they are text fields, but they were flagged as not editable. So we have hidden them from voiceover. But now it appears you could get a unlabeled button notice when you try to identify it. I am open to suggestions as to which direction to go. Perhaps we do not hide them but specifically say this is a non editable descriptor? I try to monitor this group, but the most reliable way to provide specific feedback to our team is using the feedback button on the home screenof the app. I will be at the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired today in Rochester, NY getting first hand feedback, and plan to submit an update tonight based on that and your emails. Thanks! Thank you for your patience. I think you can tell we are trying to incorporate all your great feedback as quickly as possible, within the limitations of Apple's approval process. Also, next week my team and I are presenting the app to potential investors in New York City.

I must be doing something wrong with Blindsquare
Hi, I don't know if it's me who's doing things wrongly or if it is something else, but i don't get Blindsquare to work the way i want to. When i'm out walking with Blindsquare on, i hear points of interest and other stuff announced, but i don't hear upcoming streets or intersections. Sometimes i hear addresses of streets but when i'm nearing another street i don't hear it, is it because i don't monitor a special favourite or what's the problem? In what mode should i have Blindsquare in order for it to update streets and so on? /Krister, confused -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: I must be doing something wrong with Blindsquare
Hi, For the auto speaking, I use streets and favourite places only. This works well for me, give it a try and see if it suits your needs. I find speaking everything has too much chatter, and poise of interest can chop out street names.

Re: The oddest thing
Yes I did and it wasn't. This has happened to me a couple of times now and its not fun. One cause I believe was the installation of firee2. That app has caused me to lose voiceover more times then I can count with only configure universal access in iTunes to restore voiceover. Haven't used firee2 in a good while though and this happened for no apparent reason I can see. Strange I know.

making text messages present differently
Is there a way to cause the text messages to either display unthreaded or just have it display only the most recent response in an ongoing conversation?

All Access Menus, Finding a Specific Restaurant
Hi Todd and Interested Others, We are going to the Macaroni Grill in Albany this evening. I wanted to see if their menu was available via this app. It doesn't show in the Search Nearby option. I don't seem to be able to activate an edit field to search for this establishment. Can this be accomplished, and if so, how? If not, I'll check when we get close to the restaurant this evening.

text messages
hello, I have an iphone 5 that I just purchased last week. I used to have an iphone 3 and if a text message was received, it would display it and automatically read it. After I updated the software, it stopped doing that. My wife's iphone 3 reads them automatically. On my iphone 5, they display, but do not read automatically. I want them to read, so that I will not have to always have the apple wireless keyboard with me. Does anyone have a fix for this so that they will read.

Wifi issue and now iPhone assistance if possible please
Hello all, Well, it seems as though I've gotten my Wi-Fi issue taken care of. I went to the Apple store on Monday, and showed them what was going on, and they were able to replace my for S with another one. However, now I'm having another problem That I've encountered. On Saturday with the old phone, when trying to restore and update to the newest software, my phone just Turned back on at the login screen, but I never could get it to go past that particular screen. My Wi-Fi issue wasn't solved either, because I still never could connect. So, I plugged the phone up to the PC using iTunes, still could never get past the First screen. So last night, when I plug this new phone up to my computer to try to restore the apps and data from the older phone, all of my apps restored fine. However, I thought that I would get my old text messages back and videos as well, but I didn't. What I did was, found this current phone in the sources menu, then restore from the backup which I found, but it said that this phone that I have now was running an older version of software and the only way to do a restore or a backup, was to update to 6.13 Then I could do a restore. The phone updated to the current Apple software, but none of my videos, settings as in the way my apps were positioned on the phone, or text as I said earlier have been found. So, did I do something wrong that I'm not aware of? My older phone was jailbroken, but I don't see where that would have any reason to not let me get my videos and text back, but correct me if I'm wrong. Any assistance with this is greatly appreciated, thanks. Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Phone is working
I went to the ATT store with a friend who incidentally had to get a new phone and got an iphone. Anyway, the guy took mine, and within seconds had it working again. I was thankful especially he knew what to do but just frustrated I had to make the trip, just because any other sighted person I would ask would say they didn't know how to help me. None of my sighted friends are at all technical savvy, they can barely do email. Oh well, at least I have my phone back.

Re: All Access update is out
Has anyone figured to scroll to the next 25 restaurant selection? thanks -- From: Lisa belville missktlab1...@frontier.com Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2013 8:20 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: All Access update is out Yes, yes, to all of this. I was just coming on here to ask how to find out what those unlabeled buttons are. I can only assume they have to do with adding something to an order, but considering those buttons are available elsewhere within individual descriptions as well as in every menu I've looked at since the update, some clarification would be helpful since activating them doesn't seem to make anything happen. I do like what I've seen so far, though. Chocolate is the answer... who cares what the question is! Lisa Belville missktlab1...@frontier.com - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2013 6:44 AM Subject: All Access update is out Hello List, Just noticed the the All Access Talking Menu update is out. The app does seem a bit more streamlined and interestingly enough when I went to Nearby it went straight into the listing for a restaurant here called Alpenhorn, I assume maybe because it's the first alphabetically. This restaurant didn't even show up before in the app, now it is there and has the Menu with descriptions and pricing. very nice. However, maybe Todd can answer this, after each menu category as well as after each dish within the categories there are anywhere from 1 to 3 unlabelled buttons which don't seem to do anything, I assume maybe they are pictures and, if so, couldn't they be hidden to make swiping through the dishes a better experience? Also, it would be nice if that z-gesture for activating the back button could be implemented. I find it more intuitive and faster than to find the back button at the top left each time and use it a lot in apps where it works. Lastly, how do I get back to the listing of restaurants? I am placed straight into the listing for Alpenhorn when I tap on Nearby. I am on the main screen with the following layout: Top Row: Back button at the top left Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar button in the middle Help button at the top right Under Back is the Menu button and it is the first swipe right from Help. Under Help is the Map button and it is next if you swipe right again after menu. Underneath Menu (on the left side) is Phone and it comes after Map if you continue swiping. Under Map (on the right side) is a Web, button, once again, it's another swipe right after phone. Last is the Weather button and I seem to only get to it by swiping right one more time from Web, if I move my finger around the screen to explore I can only find Menu and Phone on the left and Map and Web on the right. OK, so I just did a 3-finger swipe up and Voiceover said Page 2 of 3 and now the Weather button was there right under Back which means the other 4 buttons on page 1 were now off the screen. There is a page 3 of 3, but it still only has Weather. All in all, it's much easier and faster to swipe to the button you want since there are only 5 and, I guess in cases where there is no menu, there would only be Map, Phone, Web and Weather. If I double tap on Back from the main screen of the Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar I get Back at the top left, Results in the middle and Help at the top right. However, the rest of the screen is blank, i.e. Voiceover says Empty List which is strange since it did go straight into the one restaurant and in the last app there were quite a few listings for my town. A 3-finger swipe down says Refreshing Content, but still nothing shows up in the list. Across the bottom I see 4 categories, Select All, Select American, Select Bakery and Select Bar/Pub/Brewery. A 3-finger swipe from right to left tells me it is now on page 2 of 7 and 4 new categories show up: Select Bbq, Select Select Chinese, Select Coffee/Tea and Select Deli/Sandwiches. If I double tap on Select All it goes right back into Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar and I seem to be unable to see or select any other restaurants. In fact, when I first double tap on Nearby on the main screen of the app and touch the screen in the middle it says Accessing All, but once again, the list is empty and it goes straight into Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar. OK, Todd, how much is Sascha, the owner of the Alpenhorn paying you for doing this *smile*. There is also a Search for Business by Type button on the main screen, but it does the same thing, it goes straight into Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar. It would be interesting to find out if others experience the same thing, i.e. if it goes into an A listing for where they live with nothing else on the list. I know Todd monitors the list, so I look forward to any comments as well as reviews from other users. Regards, Sieghard

Thanks, Sherrie. Great minds must think alike since I rolled back to Facebook 6.0.2 yesterday too and pretty much did the same thing you outlined below.

Be sure not to update the Facebook app in the app store until a newer version is offered. HTH Sherrie From: Alan Lemly mailto:wale...@gmail.com Sent: Friday, May 31, 2013 11:14 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Rolling Back to an Earlier App Version of Facebook I know there has been discussion on the list about accessibility issues with Facebook but I haven't been following them since version 6.1.1 has been working for me. I normally do a lot of my Facebook stuff on my Windows XP computer so I missed the problems. This morning I was in Facebook on my iPhone 5 and noticed with the current version that I could no longer select like or comment, etc. when reviewing another's post with VoiceOver on. That's a deal breaker for me for using Facebook on my iPhone. I keep backups of all versions of my apps in a Backup subfolder below Mobile Applications. I'm considering rolling back to Facebook 6.0.2 since I thought I could like something while using VO with that earlier version. Can someone who has ever rolled back to an earlier version please review the steps for me? I assume I first must uninstall the app from the phone. Next I guess I need to sync the phone to my computer using iTunes so the current Facebook version will be removed from the Mobile Applications folder. I'm a bit unclear what the next step should be. Would I simply use Windows Explorer to copy the Facebook 6.0.2.ipa file to the Mobile Applications folder then go into iTunes to install it? Or should I add the version I want to roll back to into the Automatically Add to iTunes subfolder? I want to get this right so it will install correctly. Finally, can anyone comment on whether uninstalling the current Facebook version and rolling back to a previous version will mess up any of my apps that share with Facebook? For example, I often share newspaper articles or Lire articles with Facebook and I don't want to mess up that capability. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

RE: The oddest thing
Hi Sieghard. Thanks for the suggestions. I did plug in a headset; no sounds. I tried the three finger double tap, nothing. The other day when I was doing something the voiceover kept cutting in an out so it makes me think there is something really wrong with the phone. Patti _ From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2013 11:44 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: The oddest thing Hi Patty, A couple of things you can try: Plug in a headset and check if you hear Voiceover. If you do then your Voiceover volume got turned down to 0. If that is the case, make sure your phone is unlocked with the headset connected, then unplug the headset and do a 2-finger swipe up. This will start reading the content on your screen starting at the top, now repeatedly push the volume up button and you should be able to turn your speaker volume up again. If you don't hear Voiceover volume using the headset either, try a 3-finger double tap which turns speech on/off. This is different from turning off Voiceover with a triple click home and you may have accidently muted your speech this way. You normally do hear the Voiceover clicks if speech is muted this way and you said you don't hear any of that so I assume this is not what happened although, as Mich pointed out, your mute switch may also have been moved which would mute those sounds. For the phone to be unmuted, the mute switch has to be in the forward position (towards the screen), if you push it back and mute it, there will be a short vibration, you will not get that vibration if you pull it forward again.

I thought everything was fine. The phone was working till yesterday afternoon, when I was out. I had been out a couple hours or so with my phone in my purse. My friend and I stopped somewhere to get her some lunch, and I stayed in the car. I took the phone out of my purse while she was inside placing her order, and realized it was not speaking. I thought, well maybe we are in an area with no signal, and figured once I got it home and on its charger again speech and sounds would come back. Well they haven't. I only get the sound when I lock the screen, reset by pressing home and power, which I haven't done much of that; and I hear my chime clock on the phone when it goes off. Nothing else, not even the little blips you hear when your unlocking the screen or going through apps. I tried restoring the phone through itunes, nothing. I tried the triple tap on the screen and with the home key, nothing. It's a mystery, for sure. Anybody got any thoughts?

Re: Two compelling reasons was Re: Some good news for potential and existing Viber users!
Hi Chris, I agree with your perspective on this. Another advantage of server-side push notifications as opposed to keeping your device constantly connected to a service like Skype, is battery life. In my experience, leaving Skype running in the background chews through a good chunk of battery power. If Skype could push notifications to you when the app was not running, that would be welcome.

But i am still not sure that i want to run Skype for iOS all the time. i just prefer apps pushing notifications to me even if it is closed in the app switcher. but that's just me. maybe wen i get a new iPhone than the 4 this may change.

Re: All Access update is out
I just got the new update and love the improvements. Like Seighard though the unlabeled buttons... in my opinon... make the ap kind of cluttered. I love the addition of different restaurants... and the fact other businesses are gone! Thank you Todd for such a great expedient update! Jenifer Barr Sent from my iPhone On Jun 6, 2013, at 7:44 AM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hello List, Just noticed the the All Access Talking Menu update is out. The app does seem a bit more streamlined and interestingly enough when I went to “Nearby” it went straight into the listing for a restaurant here called “Alpenhorn”, I assume maybe because it’s the first alphabetically. This restaurant didn’t even show up before in the app, now it is there and has the Menu with descriptions and pricing… very nice. However, maybe Todd can answer this, after each menu category as well as after each dish within the categories there are anywhere from 1 to 3 unlabelled buttons which don’t seem to do anything, I assume maybe they are pictures and, if so, couldn’t they be hidden to make swiping through the dishes a better experience? Also, it would be nice if that z-gesture for activating the back button could be implemented. I find it more intuitive and faster than to find the back button at the top left each time and use it a lot in apps where it works. Lastly, how do I get back to the listing of restaurants? I am placed straight into the listing for “Alpenhorn” when I tap on Nearby. I am on the main screen with the following layout: Top Row: Back button at the top left Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar button in the middle Help button at the top right Under Back is the Menu button and it is the first swipe right from “Help”. Under Help is the Map button and it is next if you swipe right again after menu. Underneath Menu (on the left side) is Phone and it comes after Map if you continue swiping. Under Map (on the right side) is a Web, button, once again, it’s another swipe right after phone. Last is the Weather button and I seem to only get to it by swiping right one more time from Web, if I move my finger around the screen to explore I can only find Menu and Phone on the left and Map and Web on the right. OK, so I just did a 3-finger swipe up and Voiceover said “Page 2 of 3” and now the Weather button was there right under “Back” which means the other 4 buttons on page 1 were now off the screen. There is a page 3 of 3, but it still only has Weather. All in all, it’s much easier and faster to swipe to the button you want since there are only 5 and, I guess in cases where there is no menu, there would only be Map, Phone, Web and Weather. If I double tap on “Back” from the main screen of the “Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar” I get Back at the top left, “Results” in the middle and “Help” at the top right. However, the rest of the screen is blank, i.e. Voiceover says “Empty List” which is strange since it did go straight into the one restaurant and in the last app there were quite a few listings for my town. A 3-finger swipe down says “Refreshing Content”, but still nothing shows up in the list. Across the bottom I see 4 categories, “Select All”, “Select American”, “Select Bakery” and Select Bar/Pub/Brewery”. A 3-finger swipe from right to left tells me it is now on page 2 of 7 and 4 new categories show up: Select Bbq, Select Select Chinese, Select Coffee/Tea and Select Deli/Sandwiches. If I double tap on “Select All” it goes right back into Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar and I seem to be unable to see or select any other restaurants. In fact, when I first double tap on “Nearby” on the main screen of the app and touch the screen in the middle it says “Accessing All”, but once again, the list is empty and it goes straight into Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar. OK, Todd, how much is Sascha, the owner of the Alpenhorn paying you for doing this *smile*. There is also a “Search for Business by Type” button on the main screen, but it does the same thing, it goes straight into “Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar”. It would be interesting to find out if others experience the same thing, i.e. if it goes into an “A” listing for where they live with nothing else on the list. I know Todd monitors the list, so I look forward to any comments as well as reviews from other users.

My friend and I stopped somewhere to get her some lunch, and I stayed in the car. I took the phone out of my purse while she was inside placing her order, and realized it was not speaking. I thought, well maybe we are in an area with no signal, and figured once I got it home and on its charger again speech and sounds would come back. Well they haven't. I only get the sound when I lock the screen, reset by pressing home and power, which I haven't done much of that; and I hear my chime clock on the phone when it goes off. Nothing else, not even the little blips you hear when your unlocking the screen or going through apps. I tried restoring the phone through itunes, nothing. I tried the triple tap on the screen and with the home key, nothing. It's a mystery, for sure. Anybody got any thoughts?

Re: accessable alternative to im+ pro?
My major complaint with IM+ Pro was that the editor was nonstandard. I found no way to insert text into the middle of a message, make edits to the text, or select text and delete it. The only way was to erase by character sequentially from the end of the message until you reached the spot you wanted to change. It’s been a while since I used IM+ Pro, so perhaps this no longer applies but it was a deal breaker for me.

Re: Advertising items in Settings
Yes, Apple hasn't published the details of how this setting works (that I'm aware of) but I would recommend having the setting on to limit ad tracking. Another battery-saving setting may be found under Settings, Privacy, Location Services, System Services. I would recommend disabling location-based iAds to prevent location services from being used whenever apps display advertisements.

Jenifer Barr Sent from my iPhone On Jun 6, 2013, at 7:44 AM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hello List, Just noticed the the All Access Talking Menu update is out. The app does seem a bit more streamlined and interestingly enough when I went to “Nearby” it went straight into the listing for a restaurant here called “Alpenhorn”, I assume maybe because it’s the first alphabetically. This restaurant didn’t even show up before in the app, now it is there and has the Menu with descriptions and pricing… very nice. However, maybe Todd can answer this, after each menu category as well as after each dish within the categories there are anywhere from 1 to 3 unlabelled buttons which don’t seem to do anything, I assume maybe they are pictures and, if so, couldn’t they be hidden to make swiping through the dishes a better experience? Also, it would be nice if that z-gesture for activating the back button could be implemented. I find it more intuitive and faster than to find the back button at the top left each time and use it a lot in apps where it works. Lastly, how do I get back to the listing of restaurants? I am placed straight into the listing for “Alpenhorn” when I tap on Nearby. I am on the main screen with the following layout: Top Row: Back button at the top left Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar button in the middle Help button at the top right Under Back is the Menu button and it is the first swipe right from “Help”. Under Help is the Map button and it is next if you swipe right again after menu. Underneath Menu (on the left side) is Phone and it comes after Map if you continue swiping. Under Map (on the right side) is a Web, button, once again, it’s another swipe right after phone. Last is the Weather button and I seem to only get to it by swiping right one more time from Web, if I move my finger around the screen to explore I can only find Menu and Phone on the left and Map and Web on the right. OK, so I just did a 3-finger swipe up and Voiceover said “Page 2 of 3” and now the Weather button was there right under “Back” which means the other 4 buttons on page 1 were now off the screen. There is a page 3 of 3, but it still only has Weather. All in all, it’s much easier and faster to swipe to the button you want since there are only 5 and, I guess in cases where there is no menu, there would only be Map, Phone, Web and Weather. If I double tap on “Back” from the main screen of the “Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar” I get Back at the top left, “Results” in the middle and “Help” at the top right. However, the rest of the screen is blank, i.e. Voiceover says “Empty List” which is strange since it did go straight into the one restaurant and in the last app there were quite a few listings for my town. A 3-finger swipe down says “Refreshing Content”, but still nothing shows up in the list. Across the bottom I see 4 categories, “Select All”, “Select American”, “Select Bakery” and Select Bar/Pub/Brewery”. A 3-finger swipe from right to left tells me it is now on page 2 of 7 and 4 new categories show up: Select Bbq, Select Select Chinese, Select Coffee/Tea and Select Deli/Sandwiches. If I double tap on “Select All” it goes right back into Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar and I seem to be unable to see or select any other restaurants. In fact, when I first double tap on “Nearby” on the main screen of the app and touch the screen in the middle it says “Accessing All”, but once again, the list is empty and it goes straight into Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar. OK, Todd, how much is Sascha, the owner of the Alpenhorn paying you for doing this *smile*. There is also a “Search for Business by Type” button on the main screen, but it does the same thing, it goes straight into “Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar”. It would be interesting to find out if others experience the same thing, i.e. if it goes into an “A” listing for where they live with nothing else on the list. I

Motorola Elite Flip Headset
Does anybody on this list have a Motorola Elite Flip headset and an iPhone 5?

RE: Wifi issue and now iPhone assistance if possible please
Hi Shane, Unfortunately I have to leave it to Jailbreakers to explain what effect Jailbreaking has on what is restored or not, but a restore will not put back any media as that is synced, not backed up. Here is what Apple says about backups: iTunes can back up your settings, Messages, Camera Roll, documents, saved games, and other data. Backups do not contain content synced to the device, such as movies, music, podcasts, and apps. Here is the link to all of that: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946 I find that sometimes I had to restore a second time after doing a software update before my home screen layouts and all of that was restored.

All Access Menus
Hi all, I posted this question yesterday but didn't receive any responses so perhaps it didn't make it to the list? This recent update is much improved! Thank you Todd! I have a question though; when I go from page to page with 4 more categories to choose from; it goes from page 5 to page 7 with no page 6. Does this mean that there are no restaurants in my area belonging to the categories that are on page 6 or is this just a bug? Thanks!

Hi Ray, When you say right arrow, I assume you're using a Bluetooth keyboard. Is this correct? When I open the messages app, the most recent thread is at the top. In order to reply to this thread, I VO space on the thread, then jump to the bottom of the thread with Option+Down Arrow. Quick Nav has to be on for this keystroke to work.

RE: All Access
Hi Carol, I have the same problem here in Canada. I wrote my comments to Todd and I am told that all restaurants, no matter their cuisine, will come up with this next update. The problem is that, if a restaurant does not specify a cuisine, it doesn't come up so, hang-in until this update comes out. Ron Danvers .

Re: text messages
Hi, You can set your iPHOne to read notifications on the lock screen automatically. It sounds like that setting is off on your phone. Go to Settings/General/Accessibility/VoiceOver. Go to the very last item on this screen, which is Speak notifications in lock screen. If it's off, double-tap to turn it on. That should do it.

Re: All Access update is out
The app shows 25 matches. We could add a button for the next 25 but currently it doesn't show more. The next version, which is waiting for Apple's approval, makes it easier to search by cuisine so you can find 25 Chinese restaurants near you, etc., so that might be plenty. It is also easier to change your location so you can search the next town over etc. t...@toddbernhard.com iPhone Life Magazine http://NoTie.NET Sent from my iPhone 5 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: new accessible phone for the blind.
Hi Timothy, I don't consider this to be a reinventing of the wheel. I already mentioned that I am quite happy with my IPhone and that is because I could deal with the learning curve. Fortunately, in my 21 years of working with multiple disabilities I did learn that a lot of people who couldn't deal with the learning curve of the IPhone will probably have a need for this new phone. Let's see how difficult this phone will be to learn for people with multiple disabilities. Until then, I will wait to make any further comments.

Re: Labeling pictures in camera
After I take pictures with my iPhone, I'll plug it into my computer and open up the my computer on my netbook. All the pictures are there and I just move them elsewhere. It's easier with movie clips because all you need to do is listen to them. It helps though that the pictures are dated. I may need sight help to know exactly what the picture is if I get behind on renaming my pictures but sooner or later I get caught back up. For example, last summer we took a trip to see my wife's family at a family reunion. We had our motor home so we could take our time. On the way back home, we stopped at Yellowstone National park because we both had never seen old faithful. That was easy to label because it was video. I find myself sense then to do more video clips then pictures. They talk assuming of course I or my wife does and their just as much fun. Maybe more. - Original Message - From: Sarah Cranston To: 'viphone@googlegroups.com' Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2013 11:55 AM Subject: RE: Labeling pictures in camera Mine did the same.

Re: Labeling pictures in camera
Using the voiceover command to label a picture works great, just keep in mind, if any photos move positions, you lose the label. Also, the label is very particular, if you label it in portrait mode, then turn the photo to landscape, the label doesn't remain. I'm curious about this voice photo app. I'll need to check it out.

Hi Todd, It would be helpful to be able to expand one's search in the same town or city. For example, I'm going to a restaurant in Albany, New York where I reside. It doesn't show up in the 25 listings. I know what street it's on, so if I can search by a specific street, I'd likely be able to locate the restaurant in question. If one could search within a certain radius as is often the case with GPS applications, that might be another way to attack this. Thanks for your efforts and I look forward to the next update.

Re: All Access update is out
Thanks, Les. The app lets you type in a street address as your origin, and the default radius is 50 kilometers, which is over 30 miles, so that should cover most searches. Having said that, it probably wouldn't be too hard to add a button for the next 25 listings so I will try to do that.

RE: syncing photos to my computer with albums
Hi Ramy, In order to copy photos from your phone to the computer all you need to do Iis go to Computer or My Computer if you use Windows XP. Here you will see your iPhone listed, press enter on it and open the camera folder, most likely something like DCMI. This is the one exception where you can copy things straight from your phone without iTunes. In order to move photos or albums back to your iPhone you have to use iTunes, go to your device and check the Photos tab/button. Now you can browse to the pictures or folders on your computer and sync them. No, you cannot create albums on the phone and sync them back to your computer and you cannot rename photos on your phone other than by using the custom label feature in Voiceover, but as Ann pointed out, this can be unreliable if you move the picture to another album etc. Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ramy Moustafa Sent: Friday, June 07, 2013 9:35 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: syncing photos to my computer with albums Sensitivity: Personal HI all: I have some photos on my Iphone , and am very happy that I can know what they r, now I have 2 questions: 1, I tried syncing them through I tunes, but I can't find them on my comter, where r they? 2, how can I add photos from my computer to my iphone?

Re: new accessible phone for the blind.
I assume your talking about the Kaptin Plus GPS. Capsys did discontinue the Kapten Plus but they did come out with a more advanced unit that did talk for around 8 hundred or so.

I'm confused. Did this stand alone GPS unit stop working when the unit was withdrawn? Even if this company stops producing or supporting this phone, it will still work on the cell phone network. If Apple went out of business today, I could still use my iPhone on ATT. I agree, I'll use an off the shelf product over a product made for the blind if it meets my needs, but it isn't clear to me that the iPhone meets every blind person's needs. I used JAWS and Windows on my job for 15 years. I would not have had that job without JAWS. I still couldn't do that job with a Mac and VoiceOver. I used a note taker made for the blind in the 80's and 90's. There was no alternative accessible main stream product during that time, no accessible PDA's, laptops or netbooks. Like I said, I think we should use off the shelf products whenever possible. I also think we should continue to push to make off the shelf products accessible. I get concerned when I hear statements about the blind ghetto or not using products made with the blind in mind. These products have and will serve a need. The unemployment and under employment rates for the blind would be even worse than they are without products like JAWS, and I think this is a worse situation for the blind then using products and applications developed specifically with the blind in mind. I also don't think we'd necessarily be where we are with out such products. Would we have accessible iPhones right now if there hadn't been products like Outspoken or Talks? Maybe we would, but I think these products proved that it could be done and developed a market where blind people wanted such main stream devices.

Re: All Access update is out
Right now, it's a little complicated to enter a street address, but in the version awaiting Apple's approval, it's easier. You need to get to the Settings screen. Within the app, after you've started a search, touch the help button in the top right. It will display help, and two buttons. One is continue and the other is settings. Touch settings and you can change to a manually entered address instead of using GPS. In the next version, there is a Settings button on the first screen. Thanks!

Re: All Access update is out
Hi Todd, Okay, let me explain how I am accessing restaurants currently. I choose Search Nearby and scroll through the list. At the end of the list, I encounter Search All Near You with the prompt, double tap to edit. When I double tap, I am taken to the last restaurant in the list rather than to an edit field which is the expected behavior when one double taps on a field which states double tap will allow one to edit. Perhaps I'm in the wrong area for specifying a search, but it's the only option I see thus far. Thanks. Les On Jun 7, 2013, at 12:51 PM, Todd Bernhard toddbernh...@yahoo.com wrote: Thanks, Les.

Re: All Access update is out
Les, At the bottom of the list page is a horizontally scrolling menu that lets you refine by cuisine (or choose All) That is going away in the next version because it is becoming a source of confusion. Instead, when you initially choose Search Nearby, from the home screen, you will be presented with dozens of choices of cuisines like American, Bakery, Chinese, Coffee, Deli, etc., in alphabetical order. Choose one of those (or choose the All button) and then you will get your scrolling list. I will let you know when Apple approves it.

Re: Phone is working
Patti, when I got my iPhone 4 over 2 years ago, there was a young guy maybe in his early 20's who viewed me being totally blind as a great opportunity to learn something new himself. He had said he knew about voice-over but never had the chance to try it out so we'll learn about it together he said. We spent the next 3 or 4 hours learning various gestures etc, to get me up and using my phone. He even gave me his personal cell number incase I needed help. I can't say enough good things about how I was treated at my local ATT store. If I remember right, it was about a month after I had my phone that I got a call from the young fellow asking me how I was doing with my phone and did I have any questions or problems he could help me with.

Jenifer Barr Sent from my iPhone On Jun 6, 2013, at 7:44 AM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hello List, Just noticed the the All Access Talking Menu update is out. The app does seem a bit more streamlined and interestingly enough when I went to “Nearby” it went straight into the listing for a restaurant here called “Alpenhorn”, I assume maybe because it’s the first alphabetically. This restaurant didn’t even show up before in the app, now it is there and has the Menu with descriptions and pricing… very nice. However, maybe Todd can answer this, after each menu category as well as after each dish within the categories there are anywhere from 1 to 3 unlabelled buttons which don’t seem to do anything, I assume maybe they are pictures and, if so, couldn’t they be hidden to make swiping through the dishes a better experience? Also, it would be nice if that z-gesture for activating the back button could be implemented. I find it more intuitive and faster than to find the back button at the top left each time and use it a lot in apps where it works. Lastly, how do I get back to the listing of restaurants? I am placed straight into the listing for “Alpenhorn” when I tap on Nearby. I am on the main screen with the following layout: Top Row: Back button at the top left Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar button in the middle Help button at the top right Under Back is the Menu button and it is the first swipe right from “Help”. Under Help is the Map button and it is next if you swipe right again after menu. Underneath Menu (on the left side) is Phone and it comes after Map if you continue swiping. Under Map (on the right side) is a Web, button, once again, it’s another swipe right after phone. Last is the Weather button and I seem to only get to it by swiping right one more time from Web, if I move my finger around the screen to explore I can only find Menu and Phone on the left and Map and Web on the right. OK, so I just did a 3-finger swipe up and Voiceover said “Page 2 of 3” and now the Weather button was there right under “Back” which means the other 4 buttons on page 1 were now off the screen. There is a page 3 of 3, but it still only has Weather. All in all, it’s much easier and faster to swipe to the button you want since there are only 5 and, I guess in cases where there is no menu, there would only be Map, Phone, Web and Weather. If I double tap on “Back” from the main screen of the “Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar” I get Back at the top left, “Results” in the middle and “Help” at the top right. However, the rest of the screen is blank, i.e. Voiceover says “Empty List” which is strange since it did go straight into the one restaurant and in the last app there were quite a few listings for my town. A 3-finger swipe down says “Refreshing Content”, but still nothing shows up in the list. Across the bottom I see 4 categories, “Select All”, “Select American”, “Select Bakery” and Select Bar/Pub/Brewery”. A 3-finger swipe from right to left tells me it is now on page 2 of 7 and 4 new categories show up: Select Bbq, Select Select Chinese, Select Coffee/Tea and Select Deli/Sandwiches. If I double tap on “Select All” it goes right back into Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar and I seem to be unable to see or select any other restaurants. In fact, when I first double tap on “Nearby” on the main screen of the app and touch the screen in the middle it says “Accessing All”, but once again, the list is empty and it goes straight into Alpenhorn Bistro and Bar.

Re: personal photo experience was: Re: taking photos when blind
Having been born blind, photography was something I thought I would never do! Then came the iPhone, with its accessibility. I played a little, but then my grandson was born in February of this year. I now take photos often, and most photos on my phone are pics of him, taken by Grandpa! I've even posted my own pics on Facebook, and one of my photos of my grandson is now my profile picture on FB.

And, though I find this topic to be one of my absolute favorites every time it comes up, we do need to focus a bit here on iDevices so perhaps we can continue this with an emphasis on how iDevices with cameras have influenced us as photographers… For myself, I've always loved shooting images both when I could see and after that changed. Not only was the advent of digital photography a godsend as I could have the complete abandon and confidence of getting great shots and not needing to worry about running out of film, but when the iPhone became accessible and Apple had the amazing quality of insight and inclusion to make the camera app fully accessible, it was (and still is) a very moving experience for me, for which I'm eternally grateful! :) So often, because people would assume the question, 'Why on earth would a blind person want to use a camera?' it is still amazingly refreshing to me that Apple completely flew in the face of this wrongly held assumption and by doing so, made it possible for many more of us to either continue the art we love or have the flexibility to become acquainted with a new experience taking photos, perhaps for the first time… Though I'd already had quite a bit of experience composing shots both behind and in front of the camera, I decided it would be fun to sit in on a photo class that the Braille Institute offers, here in LA. I liked it so much I ended up enrolling in it and used my iPhone constantly, sharing shots I'd take with the instructor / class. I was like the only iPhone user in the class at the time and the quality of the pics really did make an impression on the instructor… There were also class projects similar to the one just discussed in this thread and also an exhibition but I'll refrain from going OT here, no matter how much I'd love to! :) Anyway, for those of you whom find that you really do benefit from the iDevices as cameras, would you mind sharing your experiences and how these devices help you? Conversely, for those whom may not feel this way, what improvements could be made that you feel might help you be able to use the cameras on iDevices more easily and creatively? Thanks a bunch y'all! Great topics and experiences! thanks so much for sharing!… Smiles, Cara :) On Jun 5, 2013, at 2:54 AM, RobH! bobs...@googlemail.com wrote: I have to say, I like to try the odd angle, an angle you're never gonna get putting the camera to your face.

We all got a loan digital camera, and learning the basic of photographic, taking photos as a blind person. The workshop was conducted by Mr. Andrew Follows, one of the blind photographer that base in Melbourne Australia. After the workshops, we then, have the task of taking photos for a special exhibition, happen in the state library of South Australia, Australia. The idea of the exhibition is to exhibit about things that blind people cann and can't see, using the art of micro photograph, (close up photos). I must have took about 5000 photos or more, i think i gone thru 3 x 4gb SD Cards in the period of 6 weeks. It was odd, whenever i go, i'll have the camera with me, and a guidedog. So, often, i get people came up to me and ask me if i need help, or, some, even questioning if i took someone's camera, or lost, or, one to the extent as i'm
Re: contacts in address book labeled as other
Other is the field name applied to any new contact created from clicking on an email address or phone number On a webpage, in Mail, or in an app. It's a placeholder name. If you want to change it, double-tap on the button that says other next to the field. A list of options will appear. Just double tap on the one you would like. Sometimes, you have to double-tap on it twice in succession. The first time seems to select the option, while the second time applies it. If you want to apply a custom label, that is, a label that you create yourself, move down to the last option in the list of options, which is called Custom Label, and double-tap it. Type your label into the edit box that appears, and then hit done. Then, double-tap on the label you have just created to apply it.

RE: new accessible phone for the blind.
Heck, I have worked with a couple of sighted people who won't even consider buying a smart phone because it is too complicated for them to figure out, one person is so smart about a lot of things but she still uses one of the very old Verizon phones, was past her exchange date in March but she refuses to let go that phone, turned off texting, will not use the calendar only the phone itself, and the contacts. She gets annoyed when I pull mine out to check if an appointment is in there, or dictate a text. She believes it is all more than anyone should need, perfectly sighted, drives for me, on the other hand she has a Mac, an iPad and her husband has an iPhone. I have to laugh because she can solve computer problems at work easily but smart phones are not a part of her life. Oh, yes, she is 20 years younger than I am and is amazed at what I can do with my phone. Still she refuses to get her own and I know her husband hassles her about it.

Re: What other scanning apps? was: Hi,Re: text detective and text grabber was: RE: text grabber sale
CamScan has a free version. I tested it last year and it was not accessible. I just downloaded and tested it again, and it is still not accessible with VoiceOver. When VO is running, none of the buttons appear to activate, even when using a double-tap and hold pass through gesture. As there are a few accessible alternatives which work quite well, I did not try turning VO off to activate any buttons followed by turning VO back on. Also, it could be that the ads on the free version may be causing the unresponsiveness. However, as there are accessible alternatives, I am currently not willing to purchase one of the two alternatives which cost.

Many people, I know, have found Text Detective to be more user friendly than the other OCR apps, and so, if you only need to get a bit of info from your text, then, maybe, this is the app for you, but if you want to be able to scan the whole sheet at once, then Text Grabber and prizmo are your apps.

RE: new accessible phone for the blind.
I wish all off the shelf products were accessible but I will use blindness products if they meet my needs. The iPhone took me a couple of weeks to get used to and there are still a few things I don't do well but there are a lot of things I never thought I do two years ago that I am doing today. I find copying and pasting a total pain without the Bluetooth keyboard for example, and I don't do anything photographic well except take pictures of the clip on my Otter Box or my fingers, those all seem to look just fine, however, I don't want to keep them for posterity. I don't do social networking, partly because of the complexities but partly because at this point I don't have the time. That said, I figured out the things I can do by either this list, reading, experimenting and very occasionally asking a sighted person to assist, my husband who is legally blind, and in the past year I have taught him more about the iPhone than I thought I knew. That said, I do have a couple of blind friends who would never grasp the touch screen with no buttons, a concept I had problems with at first but got over fairly quickly. Some just would never intuitively manage to tap on the right part of the screen, flick and dial a phone without a keypad would be impossible. I prefer to have my numbers in contacts but there have been times when that was not possible and using the onscreen keypad has been the only way to accomplish what I needed. I know a few people who no matter how much time passed would not progress and would need a product more suited to their needs. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris H Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2013 12:09 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: new accessible phone for the blind.

RE: Labeling pictures in camera
I would agree, never taken videos myself, but to hear what is going on, even if only say your wife describing would better than here this is a picture of Old Faithful for you and someone handing me a postcard. My aunt and daughters put a lot of memories in pictures, when Mom passed on my aunt was constantly telling me about pictures I just had to have, problem is, I can't see them, many of the people in my childhood my husband never knew and here I am with loads of pictures with no one to hand them over to at this point. I call then silent pictures because to me they are, I get more from the frames some are in than feeling the picture or the glass. My aunt used to make cactus wood frames those were interesting. Maybe this is one reason I don't just jump to the camera for things. Mom's pictures will probably end up in a dump somewhere when I am gone. She would have hated that but what is one to do. Even putting them on a disk of some sort would do me no earthly good. My cousins already have those they wanted, building collages etc. I don't have the talent for that especially since I don't know what is what in the first place. If those pictures had sounds, it might have much more interesting to go through them. Dad's wife did the same thing, gave me all his pictures of his earlier life before she met him. Annoys me because no one seems to understand a picture is not worth a thousand words to me.

I may need sight help to know exactly what the picture is if I get behind on renaming my pictures but sooner or later I get caught back up. For example, last summer we took a trip to see my wife's family at a family reunion. We had our motor home so we could take our time. On the way back home, we stopped at Yellowstone National park because we both had never seen old faithful. That was easy to label because it was video.

Oh, well I had the NBP iPhone book before I got my phone at Verizon. Good thing because I had to talk them through setting up Voice-Over, they did not even know at that time that it existed. After I spent over an hour between getting it turned on fir the first time and them trying to see if they could move my contacts off another phone which they could not, I went away knowing Voice Over was working and nothing else. I hope things have changed but In the first weeks I used that book a lot, it is still on my shelf for an occasional reference. I can laugh about it now but two years ago in April I was not laughing.
