Was it to run with version six? I do not recall. If you have tried several 
books, maybe you can send a title and someone can try it also. I'm sure when 
brighter people wake up they will have the answer immediately.

Re: Question about sending an e-mail to a group in IOS

2014-02-02 Thread David Chittenden
There are two ways to set up group email lists in iOS 7.

The first way has been around for a while and was shown to me last year. It 
involves writing each email address manually into one email address field in 
the contact. The email addresses need to be separated by commas (I think). 
Basically, it is written the way email address strings are shown in Google. I 
haven't done it for a while, so do not remember the exact formatting 
parameters. 

The second way was set up by Apple in iOS 7. I stumbled upon it and use it all 
the time now. When an email is written, Apple Mail remembers all the contact 
names and/or email addresses which were placed in the to field after the email 
has been sent. When one of the names is partially typed into the to field 
again, check the name suggestion options. First is the name and email address. 
Below are the groups that the name / email address has been used within. Note 
that these choices usually cannot be flicked to. Instead, one must vertically 
slide one's finger slowly down the display and stop movement each time a new 
group is announced. Waiting will list all the names in the group. It may well 
be that hints need to be turned on for this to work. I almost always leave 
hints on now because hints also causes VO to read the preview amount of each 
message when in the list of email messages.

Re: a tap tapt see rant

2014-02-02 Thread David Chittenden
My problem with TapTapSee has always been the fact that I cannot send a 
question along with the image.

As for labels being read, whether it is a human, or a computer, print is not 
like braille. If the camera is moving, in the slightest, print blurs. If the 
camera is tilted at all, in any direction, from the plain of the writing, 
parallax causes parts of the text to look very different, and may well make it 
unreadable. If the lighting is blocked in any way, shading may well shadow 
parts of the text and cause the text to become unreadable. If the camera is too 
close to the text, the text may become so large in the picture that only part 
of it is there. If the camera is too far, the text becomes so small that it 
cannot be recognised. And, when two or more of these factors are combined, it 
becomes even more difficult to recognise / read the text. Oh, and let's not 
forget, if the camera lens becomes too smudged, text and other images become 
blurry. If your recognition images have been getting worse over time, the first 
thing I would do is use windex on the camera lens. According to what I have 
read, Apple suggests only using Windex to cleanse the special glass which 
covers the camera lens.

Re: a tap tapt see rant

2014-02-02 Thread Sandratomkins
Eileen,
I am afraid I am one of the few people on this list who has never really liked 
TapTapSee. When it was free it was at worst a dubious tool for me, but with the 
advent of the credit system I just deleted it from my phone. The tools I tend 
to use for various types of identification are: textGrabber, camFind, and red 
laser. As for fortune cookies, I have never had one! I can only imagine that 
the print is very small and His Honour tiny piece of paper? This would, 
probably, pose a problem for most of the OCR packages. However, I will say 
this: textGrabber has developed into a really useful scanning tool. It works 
well FreeHand nowadays. It is easy to turn the flash on which greatly improves 
your results. The only time it has let me down was, in fact, yesterday. I was 
attempting to show the app off to some other VO users while we were all 
travelling together on the train. In the past, I have used, with some success, 
both Prizmo and TextGrabber while travelling on the train. But because 
TextGrabber has developed a more effective automatic focusing system, which 
works well in a steady environment, The movement of the train meant it can no 
longer work there. A small price to pay for a really excellent app.

Speaking personally, rather than use a nap like TapTapSee, I would prefer, if 
it was really necessary, to Either use FaceTime or even Facebook to get help 
from others to identify something for which my other apps will not work.

JMT,
Sandy (HRH)

Fortune Cookie Fortunes was RE: a tap tapt see rant

2014-02-02 Thread Alan Lemly
Sorry to inject levity into this discussion but my fortune the other day at
the Chinese restaurant was how deep would the oceans be if there were no
sponges. If most fortunes are like that, I'm not sure you're missing much.

 

To keep this on topic, I would think an app like Text Grabber might work
better but you've got the issues of the very tiny print and the curling
paper to deal with.

 

To end on a related note: Be persistent and you'll receive your ultimate
reward.

necessary to enhance its usefulness.  I'm just saying that I'm glad your

Perhaps when the heat of the moment has dissipated a request for such a

Hi,  
I forget who the developer is but I’m wondering if anyone knows the link for 
the playroom website for games and if there is an app to play on your phone?

Re: a tap tapt see rant

2014-02-02 Thread Eileens Misrahi
Hi Sandy, 

I have never used Texj Grabber in a moving vehicle. I'll have to store that in 
my tips bag for the future. Thanks for the tip on using Facetime. I have never 
used it, so I'll have to read up on what is involved. I do have plenty of 
family and friends that have iPhones. Also, MBraille now supports a dot command 
for it, so it will make it a snap to use it. With Red Laser, it has been hit 
and miss if I can find the barcode and get it to work. I usually end up using 
Digit-Eyes or Talking Goggles, which depends on what I need to identify. Text 
Grabber is my app of choice with the StandScan. It is more accurate than my 
scan and read software and hardware on my PC. Oh by the way, a cookie fortune 
is a tiny piece of paper maybe 1/2 X 1-1/2 in size (approx.). 

Cheers, 
Eileen

 Eileen,
 I am afraid I am one of the few people on this list who has never really 
 liked TapTapSee. When it was free it was at worst a dubious tool for me, but 
 with the advent of the credit system I just deleted it from my phone. The 
 tools I tend to use for various types of identification are: textGrabber, 
 camFind, and red laser. As for fortune cookies, I have never had one! I can 
 only imagine that the print is very small and His Honour tiny piece of paper? 
 This would, probably, pose a problem for most of the OCR packages. However, I 
 will say this: textGrabber has developed into a really useful scanning tool. 
 It works well FreeHand nowadays. It is easy to turn the flash on which 
 greatly improves your results. The only time it has let me down was, in fact, 
 yesterday. I was attempting to show the app off to some other VO users while 
 we were all travelling together on the train. In the past, I have used, with 
 some success, both Prizmo and TextGrabber while travelling on the train. But 
 because TextGrabber has developed a more effective automatic focusing system, 
 which works well in a steady environment, The movement of the train meant it 
 can no longer work there. A small price to pay for a really excellent app.
 
 Speaking personally, rather than use a nap like TapTapSee, I would prefer, if 
 it was really necessary, to Either use FaceTime or even Facebook to get help 
 from others to identify something for which my other apps will not work.
 
 JMT,
 Sandy (HRH)

use of face time

2014-02-02 Thread Marianne Denning
I was reading through the discussion on Tap Tap See and someone
brought up Face Time.  I would like to hear how people have used Face
Time.  I will share a story where it helped me.

I was walking home and was off in my own world instead of paying
attention.  I passed my house and needed help finding it.  I called
someone on Face Time and by showing the person what was around me I
was able to get to my house.  Without Face Time I would have retraced
my steps until I found a landmark that was familiar and tried again
but it sure aved me time.  I don't use it often but when I do it is
very handy and is on the phone.

I can't wait to hear from other people.

If using braille cards is not an option, I would try Talking Goggles or CamFind.
I've not tried either of these for that.
Even oMoby might be worth trying.

Braile playing cards will solve that problem.  I taught a woman enough

Re: a tap tapt see rant

2014-02-02 Thread Cara Quinn
Hi Sieghard,

Let me just say that the ability to send text, since the app is already sending 
an image, is basically trivial.

Now this does not address how the back end that the app uses deals with the 
text sent or if it can actually receive anything but images. However, as far as 
sending text from an app is concerned, it's basically super easy. :)

I really feel that one point is almost being missed here, which is that if 
there is a question field for the customer, sure, images may still come back 
with no usable results, but at least the customer can be alerted to this and 
why this has happened, (I.E. image is too dark, or no clear text in image etc.) 
so the customer can more easily correct any issues.

So in this respect I completely agree with Kay here. This app's main purpose is 
too assist blind and visually impaired people. If these are the concerns that 
are important to this population then the app does need to address these 
concerns, or at least attempt to.

As you say, perhaps Tap Tap See is in fact addressing these concerns, so we'll 
see...

Just my thoughts and thanks as always for some well-thought-out messages! :)

Smiles,

Cara :)

I think a lot of people still find Tap Tap See useful, get good information and 
don't mind the fact that sometimes what comes back is not perfect. The fact is 
that Tap Tap See occurs the cost of the image recognition whether the 
information is what you want or maybe even if the information you want is in 
your photo. Anyhow, Tap Tap See is one of several apps out there and you make 
the choice as to whether you want to use it or maybe I should say you choose 
whether it's worth it to you to buy credits. If not, there is Camfind, 
Digit-Eyes, Red Laser, Talking Googles and others most of which are free or can 
be purchased with a one-time payment.
 
I think it's unfair to claim Tap Tap See isn't doing anything to add the 
ability to ask a question or to complain the feature is not yet there. Why 
don't we wait another 4 or 6 months, if it's not there then maybe it's OK to 
complain.

Yes, I agree, I as well have stopped buying credit for this app. I'm not going 
to buy credit for a product that doesn't help me find the information I need.
We have to have the ability to ask a question or at least type one. Tap Tap See 
isn't giving out the information any longer as well as it used to after the 
purchasing of credits came into the picture.
Something needs to be done here, because I'm not wasting money on something, 
that I can't use, and I'm sure many would agree with me. And every time we 
click a picture, if it gets answered, there goes another credit, even if the 
answer is wrong. This isn't right. Somehow if we get the information wrong we 
should be able to somehow make tap-tap-see aware of this and they should refund 
the credit back to us in my opinion. It just isn't right for us to have to pay 
for something that plainly isn't doing anything to help figure out what we're 
looking at. Wasn't this the ap's purpose anyway? At least that's how I 
perceived the description of it.

Yes, but the ability to ask questions has already been put to the fine people 
at TTS and still nothing as of yet.  That is not to say it isn't being worked 
on.  I don't care how small or stupid to some people a fortune is, not 
everybody is going to want the same things from an app. It has done me many 
favors and read some really neat things to me but it seems more and more as 
though it is not doing the job expected.  Several months ago, if I took a 
picture of a fortune cookie paper, which I had done, it would be read the first 
time.  This is not the case any more.  I have meat in my freezer which I buy by 
the side and by the pig and It does not have bar codes on it and just has 
labels that have to be read.  TTS Used to get these right on the first try and 
this is not the case any more.  I have to resort to CamFind to get the job done 
any more and nothing has changed I might add.

I write the following in humility and with the utmost respect.  While I too 
have always been a proponent of an ask a specific question feature and think it 
certainly could serve only to enhance the usefulness and efficiency of the app

Excellent Points David! :)

Let me add to this that also, occasionally, a label may be designed in such a 
way that a logo or color scheme is not optimal for the particular lighting 
conditions or may simply be printed in colors which do not show up well for 
easy reading, even by humans. So images like this may be very difficult to be 
interpreted.

Thanks and have a lovely day!

My problem with TapTapSee has always been the fact that I cannot send a 
question along with the image.

As for labels being read, whether it is a human, or a computer, print is not 
like braille. If the camera is moving, in the slightest, print blurs. If the 
camera is tilted at all, in any direction, from the plain of the writing, 
parallax causes parts of the text to look very different, and may well make it 
unreadable. If the lighting is blocked in any way, shading may well shadow 
parts of the text and cause the text to become unreadable. If the camera is too 
close to the text, the text may become so large in the picture that only part 
of it is there. If the camera is too far, the text becomes so small that it 
cannot be recognised. And, when two or more of these factors are combined, it 
becomes even more difficult to recognise / read the text. Oh, and let's not 
forget, if the camera lens becomes too smudged, text and other images become 
blurry. If your recognition images have been getting worse over time, the first 
thing I would do is use windex on the camera lens. According to what I have 
read, Apple suggests only using Windex to cleanse the special glass which 
covers the camera lens.

 Hi Kay,
  
 With all respect, you just said you had to resort to Camfind to get the job 
 done so that means you were able to get the job done with Camfind, a free 
 app, so why not just use it from now on or at least until Tap Tap See has 
 made it possible to ask a question along with your text.
  
 Keep in mind that Tap Tap See is only one app/project for the developers. I'm 
 not an app developer, but I assume changing Tap Tap See so you can ask a 
 question or maybe pick from a list of certain general questions may not be as 
 easy as you think. Personally I am happy anytime I successfully use any of 
 these apps, Tap Tap See, Camfind, Talking Goggles etc., to recognize anything 
 since it's sure a lot more than what I was able to do before. I've been to 
 Chinese restaurants with friends and even some of them who were perfectly 
 sighted had a hard time to read these tiny slips of paper that come out of a 
 fortune cooky. Well, at least I hope your message when you finally got the 
 answer was You will experience great financial gain soon which allows you to 
 buy more Tap Tap See credits *smile*.
  
 Good fortune,

 Yes, but the ability to ask questions has already been put to the fine people 
 at TTS and still nothing as of yet.  That is not to say it isn't being worked 
 on.  I don't care how small or stupid to some people a fortune is, not 
 everybody is going to want the same things from an app. It has done me many 
 favors and read some really neat things to me but it seems more and more as 
 though it is not doing the job expected.  Several months ago, if I took a 
 picture of a fortune cookie paper, which I had done, it would be read the 
 first time.  This is not the case any more.  I have meat in my freezer which 
 I buy by the side and by the pig and It does not have bar codes on it and 
 just has labels that have to be read.  TTS Used to get these right on the 
 first try and this is not the case any more.  I have to resort to CamFind to 
 get the job done any more and nothing has changed I might add.

RE: use of face time

2014-02-02 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Just thought I mention that for me asking family or friends for help in a
live video session has been a useful tool for a long time. I have done this
with my parents or a friend even before I had my first iPhone almost 4 years
ago at which time I used Skype at home with my desktop and a web cam.

I do, by the way, find that Skype works better if you are out and about and
have a poor 3G connection. The advantage of Facetime of course is that
another iPhone user can be called any time whereas with Skype he or she
would have to be online.

One example where using this method was very useful was when I dropped a
glove once because I stuck it under my arm while I was checking a message on
my phone. It dropped and I had already walked maybe 20 steps before I
noticed. Since there was snow on the ground and I was wearing heavy winter
boots trying to walk around until I might step on it was not much of an
option, so I just called my Mom on Facetime, told her and then pointed the
camera down in front of me and started walking back. After about 10 or 12
steps my Mom said it was right there in front and a bit to the right and it
was just like she was standing behind me. When I picked it up I still had
the phone focused on it so she saw my hand and could say things Another 2
feet and a bit to the right and so on.

I also used Skype in this way when the tech support person for my Sawstop
table saw need the serial number off my saw. I hadn't asked somebody yet and
written it down, but he told me exactly where on the saw the label was and I
could easily feel it and hold the camera so he could read it. He was a bit
surprised when I first told him that I was blind, but he knew that there are
some blind woodworkers out there and he happened to have his own Skype
account which he gave me so he could help me out.

A third example where I use Facetime or Skype is when I am at a trade show
and I want to show my staff at home in my store some product maybe to get
their thoughts on colours or style of a particular piece of clothing.

I think having a few family members or friends who don't mind being called
upon for this kind of thing is one of the most useful tools and the quality
of information usually beats any of the apps out there. I guess it's up to
anybody to set up such a private network for this purpose. Of course this is
not appropriate at any time of the day and apps like Camfind, Tap Tap See,
Digit Eyes, Red Laser, Talking Goggles etc. still have their place, but
using Facetime or Skype live with a real person to me is the best and most
efficient solution.

RE: a tap tapt see rant

2014-02-02 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Cara,

 

Maybe I wasn't clear. When I was talking about sending text I meant that it
would send a question which one could type into a text box rather than
recording it in one's own voice. One could of course then use Dictation to
quickly record a short question as in most cases the question would be
short. In my thinking this might be a better option than recording a
question like what VizWiz does since a short snipped of text would be
transmitted a lot faster than a piece of audio. I think if Tap Tap See had a
picker box with certain well thought out questions like What information is
displayed on this LED screen, Who is the sender of this letter/package or
What colour is this piece of clothing etc. in addition to a text field
it's usefulness and the quality of the results would be greatly increased.

 

 

Take cjare,

Sieghard

Hi Sieghard,

 

Let me just say that the ability to send text, since the app is already
sending an image, is basically trivial.

 

Now this does not address how the back end that the app uses deals with the
text sent or if it can actually receive anything but images. However, as far
as sending text from an app is concerned, it's basically super easy. :)

 

I really feel that one point is almost being missed here, which is that if
there is a question field for the customer, sure, images may still come back
with no usable results, but at least the customer can be alerted to this and
why this has happened, (I.E. image is too dark, or no clear text in image
etc.) so the customer can more easily correct any issues.

 

So in this respect I completely agree with Kay here. This app's main purpose
is too assist blind and visually impaired people. If these are the concerns
that are important to this population then the app does need to address
these concerns, or at least attempt to.

 

As you say, perhaps Tap Tap See is in fact addressing these concerns, so
we'll see.

 

Just my thoughts and thanks as always for some well-thought-out messages! :)

 

Smiles,

 

Cara :)

Jerry,

 

I think a lot of people still find Tap Tap See useful, get good information
and don't mind the fact that sometimes what comes back is not perfect. The
fact is that Tap Tap See occurs the cost of the image recognition whether
the information is what you want or maybe even if the information you want
is in your photo. Anyhow, Tap Tap See is one of several apps out there and
you make the choice as to whether you want to use it or maybe I should say
you choose whether it's worth it to you to buy credits. If not, there is
Camfind, Digit-Eyes, Red Laser, Talking Googles and others most of which are
free or can be purchased with a one-time payment.

 

I think it's unfair to claim Tap Tap See isn't doing anything to add the
ability to ask a question or to complain the feature is not yet there. Why
don't we wait another 4 or 6 months, if it's not there then maybe it's OK to
complain.

Yes, I agree, I as well have stopped buying credit for this app. I'm not
going to buy credit for a product that doesn't help me find the information
I need.

We have to have the ability to ask a question or at least type one. Tap Tap
See isn't giving out the information any longer as well as it used to after
the purchasing of credits came into the picture.

Something needs to be done here, because I'm not wasting money on something,
that I can't use, and I'm sure many would agree with me. And every time we
click a picture, if it gets answered, there goes another credit, even if the
answer is wrong. This isn't right. Somehow if we get the information wrong
we should be able to somehow make tap-tap-see aware of this and they should
refund the credit back to us in my opinion. It just isn't right for us to
have to pay for something that plainly isn't doing anything to help figure
out what we're looking at. Wasn't this the ap's purpose anyway? At least
that's how I perceived the description of it.

RE: Color App

2014-02-02 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
I have tried a few, but found none is very accurate and consistent. The
problem with using the iPhone is that you are dealing with constantly
changing light conditions, shadows and so on. Some people have reported they
get very good results with Tap Tap See because I assume a person provides
the feedback, but then again we are bac to the discussion about the fact you
have to pay to use Tap Tap See. You would be better off investing the $150
or whatever it is to get a good stand-alone colour identifier from a place
like Maxiaids or Blind Mice Mart. The one I have had for probably at least
10 or 15 years is I think the Colorino Colour Identifier which I am quite
sure is still sold. It can identify about 150 colours and usually it does a
great job.

Re: BARD Movile app won't extract the file

2014-02-02 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I assume you're adding a book to your wish list and then downloading it 
to your phone through the BARD Mobile app itself, e.g. you're not using 
iTunes, DropBox or any other intermediate system or application. If so, 
this should work. I've downloaded dozens of books to my iPhone through 
the BARD Mobile app, and I've never seen the problem you've described. 
Have you waited until the book is completely downloaded? You'll get a 
dialog letting you know the download is complete and then you can start 
playing it by going into the book shelf tab. You need to keep the BARD 
Mobile app in the foreground while you're waiting for the download to 
finish.

I just downloaded and started reading the November playboy without difficulty. 
A novel I am currently reading is The Man from Nowhere. I have just over four

Hopefully, someone will have a better answer soon or you may have to call

RE: use of face time

2014-02-02 Thread Cristóbal
I did this just last night with my sighted wife when she asked me to go
downstairs and grab a particular pill bottle. She was busy doing something
else so I fired up Facetime on my iPhone and connected with her iPad and she
directed me to the right bottle. 
I do this all the time with mail or if I'm looking for a particular piece of
paper and find it easier to Skype or Facetime my sister or wife or someone
else sighted who can tell me what it is or read me a specific piece of
information that I need quickly.
The ease and mobility that video connectivity through Facetime and even
Skype affords is a big time help.

Subject: RE: use of face time

Just thought I mention that for me asking family or friends for help in a
live video session has been a useful tool for a long time. I have done this
with my parents or a friend even before I had my first iPhone almost 4 years
ago at which time I used Skype at home with my desktop and a web cam.

I do, by the way, find that Skype works better if you are out and about and
have a poor 3G connection. The advantage of Facetime of course is that
another iPhone user can be called any time whereas with Skype he or she
would have to be online.

One example where using this method was very useful was when I dropped a
glove once because I stuck it under my arm while I was checking a message on
my phone. It dropped and I had already walked maybe 20 steps before I
noticed. Since there was snow on the ground and I was wearing heavy winter
boots trying to walk around until I might step on it was not much of an
option, so I just called my Mom on Facetime, told her and then pointed the
camera down in front of me and started walking back. After about 10 or 12
steps my Mom said it was right there in front and a bit to the right and it
was just like she was standing behind me. When I picked it up I still had
the phone focused on it so she saw my hand and could say things Another 2
feet and a bit to the right and so on.

I also used Skype in this way when the tech support person for my Sawstop
table saw need the serial number off my saw. I hadn't asked somebody yet and
written it down, but he told me exactly where on the saw the label was and I
could easily feel it and hold the camera so he could read it. He was a bit
surprised when I first told him that I was blind, but he knew that there are
some blind woodworkers out there and he happened to have his own Skype
account which he gave me so he could help me out.

A third example where I use Facetime or Skype is when I am at a trade show
and I want to show my staff at home in my store some product maybe to get
their thoughts on colours or style of a particular piece of clothing.

I think having a few family members or friends who don't mind being called
upon for this kind of thing is one of the most useful tools and the quality
of information usually beats any of the apps out there. I guess it's up to
anybody to set up such a private network for this purpose. Of course this is
not appropriate at any time of the day and apps like Camfind, Tap Tap See,
Digit Eyes, Red Laser, Talking Goggles etc. still have their place, but
using Facetime or Skype live with a real person to me is the best and most
efficient solution.

I was reading through the discussion on Tap Tap See and someone

Time.  I will share a story where it helped me.

I was walking home and was off in my own world instead of paying
attention.  I passed my house and needed help finding it.  I called
someone on Face Time and by showing the person what was around me I
was able to get to my house.  Without Face Time I would have retraced
my steps until I found a landmark that was familiar and tried again
but it sure aved me time.  I don't use it often but when I do it is
very handy and is on the phone.

I can't wait to hear from other people.

Hi Cher,

 

I think in time you will find iTunes 11 works quite well, I actually like it
better than anything that came before. You do have to use F6 quite a bit to
get around and sometimes you have to tab a lot, but it all works quite well.

 

I suggest for adding single songs that you add those into a Playlist and
then sync the Playlist with those songs in it.

Thanks- I had first selected albums and then tried artists and was wondering
if a choice somewhere was disabling that entire submenu. I'm finding that
the context menus in the new version are now very limited and that I have to
look around a lot to find alternative ways of selecting commands. Also have
not yet found it possible to add single songs to the phone from the PC like
before.

Hi Cher,

 

On the main screen of iTunes when you have Music selected are a series of
radio buttons for things like Songs, Artists, Albums etc. You have to check
the Songs radio button here, only then can you enable the column browser.

The column browser and everything else under that submenu is showing as
unavailable- any ideas what is going on? Thought the control-shift-B  was
supposed to be a toggle alternative to menus, but that also changes nothing.
Not excited about changes in the latest iTunes :(

RE: contact list not showing

2014-02-02 Thread Don and Cher Bosch
Have noticed that Siri doesn't seem to recognize Outlook's full name field if 
you have also added a nickname in the display name field. You might want to 
go into the fields on either the source file for your contacts or into the 
fields on your phone and see if there is a detectable pattern for which names 
Siri recognizes and which she does not. HTH

 To delete your browsing history:

 then double-tap the Clear History confirmation.

RE: a tap tap see rant

2014-02-02 Thread Pinky
Viphone lister’s 

I too would like to be able to add some text or a recording to help get what I 
want.  But I find that the people on this list thought Tap Tap See was a 
wonderful app and did not complain about it when it was free but now that they 
have to pay they are moaning  and groaning  about their results they get.  They 
did not complain when they took picture after picture and thought it was great. 
   I think these app that assist us are great and we need to wake up and smell 
the roses as to how well we all have it.  So let say about ten years ago how 
did you all identify jars, can good and other items?

It wasn’t to many years back as I remember we did not have all those devices 
and app to assist us in our everyday lives like we do now. 

 

Yes it would  great if Tap Tap See would add a recording or a place to type in 
the question we want answered.  But by us not supporting them by buying the 
pictures how is it ever going to happen.  I think we need to be more patient 
and see what they do in the future.

Jerry,

 

I think a lot of people still find Tap Tap See useful, get good information and 
don’t mind the fact that sometimes what comes back is not perfect. The fact is 
that Tap Tap See occurs the cost of the image recognition whether the 
information is what you want or maybe even if the information you want is in 
your photo. Anyhow, Tap Tap See is one of several apps out there and you make 
the choice as to whether you want to use it or maybe I should say you choose 
whether it’s worth it to you to buy credits. If not, there is Camfind, 
Digit-Eyes, Red Laser, Talking Googles and others most of which are free or can 
be purchased with a one-time payment.

 

I think it’s unfair to claim Tap Tap See isn’t doing anything to add the 
ability to ask a question or to complain the feature is not yet there. Why 
don’t we wait another 4 or 6 months, if it’s not there then maybe it’s OK to 
complain.

Sieghard

Yes, I agree, I as well have stopped buying credit for this app. I’m not going 
to buy credit for a product that doesn’t help me find the information I need.

We have to have the ability to ask a question or at least type one. Tap Tap See 
isn’t giving out the information any longer as well as it used to after the 
purchasing of credits came into the picture.

Something needs to be done here, because I’m not wasting money on something, 
that I can’t use, and I’m sure many would agree with me. And every time we 
click a picture, if it gets answered, there goes another credit, even if the 
answer is wrong. This isn’t right. Somehow if we get the information wrong we 
should be able to somehow make tap-tap-see aware of this and they should refund 
the credit back to us in my opinion. It just isn’t right for us to have to pay 
for something that plainly isn’t doing anything to help figure out what we’re 
looking at. Wasn’t this the ap’s purpose anyway? At least that’s how I 
perceived the description of it.

 

Thanks

Yes, but the ability to ask questions has already been put to the fine people 
at TTS and still nothing as of yet.  That is not to say it isn't being worked 
on.  I don't care how small or stupid to some people a fortune is, not 
everybody is going to want the same things from an app. It has done me many 
favors and read some really neat things to me but it seems more and more as 
though it is not doing the job expected.  Several months ago, if I took a 
picture of a fortune cookie paper, which I had done, it would be read the first 
time.  This is not the case any more.  I have meat in my freezer which I buy by 
the side and by the pig and It does not have bar codes on it and just has 
labels that have to be read.  TTS Used to get these right on the first try and 
this is not the case any more.  I have to resort to CamFind to get the job done 
any more and nothing has changed I might add.

You're probably just in another app viewing the document, so to go back 
to your email, just double tap the home button and select the Mail app 
by double tapping it from the task list.

Also, the back button in email attachments cannot be flicked to. Find the top 
left corner of your screen, and move down just past the status bar. You should 
find the button that way, but flicking or using the top of screen gesture 
will not get you there.

Re: BARD Movile app won't extract the file

2014-02-02 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Unfortunately you didn't include the message thread you're replying to, 
so sorry if I'm repeating what someone else already suggested or said.


When I download a book to my iPhone, I usually get the message popping 
up right after I hit 85% complete stating the book was downloaded. I 
never see it get to 90% on my iPhone.


In an earlier message, did you say you had 2G free? I'd think this would 
be more than enough. Is the book you're downloading particularly large? 
Have you tried this with multiple books?


I think you said you already tried restarting your phone and removing 
and reinstalling the BARD Mobile app. Is this true? When you start a 
download, have you gone through the App Switcher and removed all of the 
other apps? Maybe you don't have enough working memory when the BARD 
Mobile app goes to extract the files from the ZIP file. Did you mention 
what model of iPhone you're using? I seem to recall it was a 4S. If so, 
the older the model the more important it would be to make sure you have 
enough memory freed up before downloading a book.


Finally, I've never seen this issue on my 4S, so you may just need to 
contact your local Talking book program to see if they can help.

I was reading through the discussion on Tap Tap See and someone
brought up Face Time.  I would like to hear how people have used Face
Time.  I will share a story where it helped me.

I was walking home and was off in my own world instead of paying
attention.  I passed my house and needed help finding it.  I called
someone on Face Time and by showing the person what was around me I
was able to get to my house.  Without Face Time I would have retraced
my steps until I found a landmark that was familiar and tried again
but it sure aved me time.  I don't use it often but when I do it is
very handy and is on the phone.

I can't wait to hear from other people.

If Tap Tap See were a paid app from the get_go, that would be one thing.  I

 I think a lot of people still find Tap Tap See useful, get good information 
 and don’t mind the fact that sometimes what comes back is not perfect. The 
 fact is that Tap Tap See occurs the cost of the image recognition whether the 
 information is what you want or maybe even if the information you want is in 
 your photo. Anyhow, Tap Tap See is one of several apps out there and you make 
 the choice as to whether you want to use it or maybe I should say you choose 
 whether it’s worth it to you to buy credits. If not, there is Camfind, 
 Digit-Eyes, Red Laser, Talking Googles and others most of which are free or 
 can be purchased with a one-time payment.
  
 I think it’s unfair to claim Tap Tap See isn’t doing anything to add the 
 ability to ask a question or to complain the feature is not yet there. Why 
 don’t we wait another 4 or 6 months, if it’s not there then maybe it’s OK to 
 complain.

 first time.  This is not the case any more.  I have meat in my freezer which 
 I buy by the side and by the pig and It does not have bar codes on it and 
 just has labels that have to be read.  TTS Used to get these right on the

 get the job done any more and nothing has changed I might add.

Hi!  First I have respect for everyone in this list so please understand that 
this is not towards anyone!  Ok... You know, we are all humans and so are the 
developers and picture viewer people.  So, the developer is so nice enough to 
monitor this high traffic list and answer taptapsee question.  Imagine how many 
emails they have to deal with from this list just to get feedback from 
customers?  I think we should respect what they do instead of complaining.  I 
am sure taptapsee person who is in this list respond as it is weekend and they 
are off i guess...  I think we are just being too impatient and accepting too 
much from them.  We should wait and I am sure they will add the ability to ask 
question.  If we want to complain and stop supporting developers, then we 
should be aware that its not going to help!  Give them time and support!  
Fortune papers are hard to read for a human eye to begin with.  I think I am 
not surprised it took time and in fact, I would not have even expected it to 
recognize that quick!  We should appreciate at least some parts of it.  Thanks 
for reading!   Sent from my super iPhone

RE: a tap tap see rant

2014-02-02 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Well said, Ed, it’s amazing how upset some people get when something that was 
free or cheaper suddenly costs something or costs more. I remember when Fleksy 
first came out it was $14.99, then it dropped to $4.99 and then it was free. 
This was the reverse yet then of course some people (I do say “some” because 
others had no problem with this) complaint because they bought it and now it 
was free.

 

Of course it doesn’t matter that this happens evey day at your local 
supermarket, drug store or department store. Stuff goes on sale and stuff goes 
off sale, some stuff gets cheaper and some stuff increases in price. Just 
because Tap Tap See, same developer as Camfind, by the way, offered their 
service for free for a year or so doesn’t mean they have to continue to do so 
if they realize they can’t keep it up and they are losing money. Having said 
that, everybody of course decides what they want to spend money on and what 
not, we all have to set our priorities. But bashing the app because now sending 
a picture costs 8 Cents and not every picture comes back with the perfect 
answer somebody is looking for or because somebody maybe hasn’t learned to take 
proper pictures certainly is not very constructive.

Introducing TalkingFlix.

The first global Audio-Described On-Demand entertainment service for the 
visually impaired is launching soon. We are excited to open TalkingFlix 
for pre-launch signups. Early adopters will get exclusive perks: deals 
on our subscription or premium movies and television shows, the option 
of becoming a beta tester, and the chance to start earning credits for 
referring friends. The sooner you sign up, the more referral credit you 
can collect before our launch.

Below is my referral link. Users can receive credits that they can use 
towards the service so that cash does not have to be spent - credits can 
be used instead...

I’m voting with my money as well.

No question ability, no money from me.

I feel it’s pointless to pay for something that won’t give me the results I

If Tap Tap See were a paid app from the get_go, that would be one thing.  I 
don't mind paying for a picture if it returns the result I need.  Sense that's 
not going to happen, I'm voating with my money.  I'm not buying either version.

Jerry,

 

I think a lot of people still find Tap Tap See useful, get good information and 
don’t mind the fact that sometimes what comes back is not perfect. The fact is 
that Tap Tap See occurs the cost of the image recognition whether the 
information is what you want or maybe even if the information you want is in 
your photo. Anyhow, Tap Tap See is one of several apps out there and you make 
the choice as to whether you want to use it or maybe I should say you choose 
whether it’s worth it to you to buy credits. If not, there is Camfind, 
Digit-Eyes, Red Laser, Talking Googles and others most of which are free or can 
be purchased with a one-time payment.

 

I think it’s unfair to claim Tap Tap See isn’t doing anything to add the 
ability to ask a question or to complain the feature is not yet there. Why 
don’t we wait another 4 or 6 months, if it’s not there then maybe it’s OK to 
complain.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

It doesn't make any sense to me if that's the right one.  I can't figure out

 I've looked in the app store and have found a bunch of six sense

Hey!  There is a difference between constructive and destructive criticism

Just to add to this.  I have a C Crane radio which has the 2 meter ham 
band.  Since I wanted to set the five presets, I attempted to use 
Taptapsee to identify the digits on the display.  I am pretty sure I had 
the display on focus with good lighting.  So I took the picture and was 
told that it was a gray Crane radio.  This sort of thing just adds to my 
frustration.


In fairness to the software, I have gotten good results on other occasions.

truth I’m amazed that it came out clearly enough for someone to eventually
recognize for you.  Again I’m not disagreeing that an ask a specific
question via text feature in the app isn’t greatly longed for and perhaps
necessary to enhance its usefulness.  I’m just saying that I’m glad your
rant was first directed at us as opposed to them (smile).
Perhaps when the heat of the moment has dissipated a request for such a
feature and explanation of how it could only benefit both users of the app
and those who recognize images might be easier for you to send their way.
Just my two cents no one asked for and no one is obligated to live by.

Subject: a tap tapt see rant

I need to write this to the people at Tap Tap See, but right now I am
anything but constructive.  For some odd reason I love to know what my
fortune cookie says.  So I started tap tap see and took a picture.  first
come back was,  fortune cookie paper.  Brilliant deduction Sherlock.  I am
blind not dense.  Next came back with numbers.  Oops!  wrong side so I flip
it over.  Then next I get, white paper with black text.  No kidding!  Next
I finally am treated to the actual fortune.  Now I had another one stuffed
in my jacket pocket so I decided since I was in picture wasting  mode I
might as well try for more.  First was fortune cookie paper,  then text on
white paper, then numbers, my bad again, turn it over.  Then back to same
stuff different side.  Finally, the words I had been waiting to hear.  all
in all, 11 pictures wasted before outcome is achieved.  I have paid for 100
pictures and feel this is a huge rip off.  If I had a way to ask even though
in this case I don't feel I should have to state the obvious,  A lot of time
and wasted effort could have been eliminated.  Any thoughts  anybody?

The website is extremely vague about every aspect of the service other
than what it does and even then, we only get a very basic overview. Do
you have any clues as to the legality of the service?

Re: new descriptive audio source for your i-device.

2014-02-02 Thread Alex Hall
Descriptions of *some* content over *some* transmission mediums is indeed 
required, as I understand it. I think the question is about where the source 
material comes from. For instance, some argue that the Movie Vault on 
www.blindmicemegamall.com is illegal because it offers downloads of audio-only 
described movies and TV shows. Others argue that www.blindy.tv is illegal 
because it re-transmits, though does not let you download, described content 
and no one knows where that comes from.

This website does seem quite vague, i must admit. Is their material sourced 
from movie and TV producers? Obtained legally some other way? illegal? What 
exactly are their service plans? What do they offer for content? Pricing? 
Availability? I'm intrigued, but it would be good to have a lot more 
information first.

 I downloaded the All football app earlier this year and I think it was only

 stations.  Each NFL team has different stations you can choose from.  You can 
 also get college games but I have not done that.  Right now I am listening to

 Hi,

 The website is extremely vague about every aspect of the service other
 than what it does and even then, we only get a very basic overview. Do
 you have any clues as to the legality of the service?

Re: new descriptive audio source for your i-device.

2014-02-02 Thread Robert Fenton
I don't see anything wrong with signing up now. If the service appears to be 
somewhat questionable from a legal point of view as things develop, it is easy 
enough to cancel a subscription. There's nothing that requires us of the stage 
to use this as our ongoing source for obtaining material if the business model 
concerns anybody.

 Descriptions of *some* content over *some* transmission mediums is indeed

 material comes from. For instance, some argue that the Movie Vault on 
 www.blindmicemegamall.com is illegal because it offers downloads of 
 audio-only described movies and TV shows. Others argue that www.blindy.tv is 
 illegal because it re-transmits, though does not let you download, described 
 content and no one knows where that comes from.
 
 This website does seem quite vague, i must admit. Is their material sourced 
 from movie and TV producers? Obtained legally some other way? illegal? What 
 exactly are their service plans? What do they offer for content? Pricing? 
 Availability? I'm intrigued, but it would be good to have a lot more 
 information first.

Can I stop some files from being backed up?

2014-02-02 Thread Agent086b
Hello,
can I stop photos from being backed up to either my Mac ore iCloud from an iPad?
My wife has 11gig of photos on her iPad. We already have the photos stored on 
both of our computers. So I don't wish to back them up again. Also we only have 
5gig on iCloud so I don't wish to back up them there either.
Thanks for any advice.

Re: BARD Movile app won't extract the file

2014-02-02 Thread Arnold Schmidt
In case nobody is able to suggest something to fix this, you might want to 
write to

bardmobilesupp...@loc.gov
to see what they say.  What you describe in the following message makes me 
think you have an unusual problem.  Usually, when a book gets to about 85 
per cent (I gather that it actually is downloading and being processed 
faster than the download meter is running), it usually gives a chime sound, 
then says the download is complete with an okay button. You say it gives an 
error message before it ever gets to this point.  I thought you were meaning 
that the downloading and processing completed successfully, but it then gave 
an error message saying  you are not authorized to play this book when you 
try to play it, which is another problem that has cropped up occasionally. 
If you write to bardmobile support, and they can figure it out, let us know 
the resolution.

I did keep the iPhone app in the foreground.  As near as I can tell, the

finished, when the progress bar was at over 90%, a dialog box popped say Ong 
that the file was not extractrmed and giving me the option to retry or 
cancel.  Retry would restart a fruitless download.  Cancel would remove the

tap tapsy

2014-02-02 Thread Robert Doc Wright
When trying to move taptapsy to another page it disappeared.  So I 
downloaded it again.  It showed nothing about the 100 credits I had 
purchased before trying to move the app.  So, I purchased again hoping that 
at least Apple/iTunes kept a record of my purchase and today I learned that 
I was charged for another 100 credits.

If we can't look at ourselves, and ask, why?  then where does the learning 
start?

2014-02-02 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I'm sure there are multiple ways to do this, but double tap and hold on 
the folder name, or any app or folder name on your home page. Do this 
before opening the folder who's name you want to change. Now double tap 
on the folder who's name you want to change, and you'll see that the 
name of the folder is now an edit field. Double tap on the name, and 
your keyboard will appear.

will cause the keyboard to appear so I can delete the name my phone
gives it, then rename it.  Is this possible, and if so, how do I get the
keyboard to appear?Thanks for any information.

Re: new descriptive audio source for your i-device.

2014-02-02 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I've always wondered what the motivation was behind blind people 
questioning the legality of services like the Movie Vault from BlindMice 
and blindy.tv. Sure if it were obviously illegal, or the blind would 
face some retaliation from the movie industry or if the movie industry 
itself were actually being harmed, I could understand why blind people 
would bring this up, but other than that, I don't see why blind people 
would want to see a service that some people enjoy and take advantage of 
be declared illegal and cease to exist.


I'm not familiar with blindy.tv, but in the Movie Vault you have MP3 
files containing movie sound tracks along with described video. I simply 
can't imagine sighted people taking advantage of this and stop going to 
theaters or buying DVD's or streaming movies from services like NetFlix. 
I'd also be shocked if there were that many blind people who are 
listening to these MP3's that would otherwise be buying, renting or 
streaming these movies, at least in numbers that would even register at 
all on a production company's bottom line. Like I said, I can't imagine 
these services are in any way negatively impacting the movie industry.


That being said, I'd be interested to hear from a lawyer who looked into 
this issue and could point out which laws are being violated and how the 
various laws allowing media to be altered to be accessible do not apply 
in these cases. I'm not sayhing blind people should run out and 
knowingly break the law by pirating music, videos or applications, but 
in issues where it isn't very clear at all, I don't see the point in 
this idle speculation.

Descriptions of *some* content over *some* transmission mediums is
indeed required, as I understand it. I think the question is about where
the source material comes from. For instance, some argue that the Movie
Vault on www.blindmicemegamall.com http://www.blindmicemegamall.com is
illegal because it offers downloads of audio-only described movies and
TV shows. Others argue that www.blindy.tv http://www.blindy.tv is
illegal because it re-transmits, though does not let you download,
described content and no one knows where that comes from.

This website does seem quite vague, i must admit. Is their material
sourced from movie and TV producers? Obtained legally some other way?
illegal? What exactly are their service plans? What do they offer for
content? Pricing? Availability? I'm intrigued, but it would be good to
have a lot more information first.

Hi,

The website is extremely vague about every aspect of the service other
than what it does and even then, we only get a very basic overview. Do
you have any clues as to the legality of the service?

Hello,
can I stop photos from being backed up to either my Mac ore iCloud from an iPad?
My wife has 11gig of photos on her iPad. We already have the photos stored on 
both of our computers. So I don't wish to back them up again. Also we only have 
5gig on iCloud so I don't wish to back up them there either.
Thanks for any advice.
Max
