Re: The potential of the dictation function?

2014-02-10 Thread Ioana Gandrabur
Something along those lines might work if the recording would be played while a 
Mac running mavericks with offline dictation listens. 

Have not tried this feature yet. 

Just an other thought

Re: The potential of the dictation function?

2014-02-10 Thread Craig Werner
Hello, Sandra.

Your points are well taken indeed.  One of my doctors routinely phones
in a report about my visit, and the speech recognition software from
which a written report is generated is, he says, first-rate.  He once
told me it never made a mistake, and I managed to suppress my
disbelief.  However, Speech recognition is getting better all the
time.  I have sometimes used silly speech patterns in an attempt to
trip up some engines and am pleasantly surprised that often, they are
on to my game.

Google Maps; was: Apple Maps Question.

2014-02-10 Thread DJ
Speaking of spoken turn by turn directions, I loaded a route into my phone
the other day using Google Maps.  I was at home and on Wi-Fi when I did it.
I forgot that cellular data was turned off and began my 30 minute trip.  I
had spoken turn by turn directions for the entire trip.  I discovered that
data was off when I went to create a new route to another destination and
was told to turn data on.

 

I already knew that Google loaded a map of the requested route into the
device but didn't think that the audio for that trip would be loaded.  It
was a very pleasant surprise indeed.  I'm also guessing that this would work
as long as you don't go too far off of the planned route.

 

Now, this has me curious.  If I had an iPod touch with an external gps
receiver, would I have the same result?  Someone might try it some time to
find out.

Hi Folks:

 

Has anyone had any luck with voice guidance using Apple maps in walking

is it true that the 5S  will automatically choose the correct mode whether
driving or walking?

 

Thanks all over the place gang.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't SIRI actually send the audio input to 
voice recognition servers?

That being the case; turning off WI-FI will cause any additional SIRI 
commands to be sent over the mobile network and could result in additional 
network access charges.  Point is, if you plan on using SIRI to any extent 
you probably do not want to disable WI-FI.

The two biggest drains on the iPhone are the Bluetooth radio and WI_FI.. 
It's easy to tell Siri, turn bluetooth off and she'll say I turned Bluetooth

off.  Do the same with WI_FI.  Those are the two biggest battery drains.  So

if you have no ear peace connected to Bluetooth and your away from your home

network, you don't need the WI_FI either.  And, it can quickly be turned 
back on again when need be.

Hi,

I figured out that somehow Simpler Pro was interfering with the phone's
original contact options. I just had to delete and reinstall, and now all is
well. It was weird because it was also happening on my iPad mini, and i
finally figured it out.

Thanks for your help,

Re: iCloud email versus Apple ID?

2014-02-10 Thread Woody Anna Dresner
Hi,

No, you can sign into the Apple store using a different Apple ID, so that you 
and your family can share an Apple ID but have separate ones for iCloud.

Best,

RE: Please explain VO's "swipe with one finger" gesture

2014-02-10 Thread Richard Turner
Another way to think of it is that you want to flick a piece of dust off the
screen.

Your finger should be moving before it contacts the screen, otherwise VO
thinks you are touching.

Think of it as a glancing blow, or that your finger is a golf club and you
are trying to hit a golf ball sitting on the screen but only barely making
contact with the screen-no divots please, grin.

 

Also, keep the flick in as close to the same spot on the screen.  Do not
flick near the top and as you flick move your finger down the screen so that
by the time you have done your fifth or sixth flick you are near the bottom.

Try to stay in one area.  The beauty of the flick or swipe gesture is that
whatever you hear VoiceOver say after you have flicked, is where the
VoiceOver cursor is and so a quick double-tap anywhere on the screen will
activate that item.

 

HTH,

Richard

You need to press enter-4-5-6 on the Apex. This tells Keysoft to ignore the

requires Keysoft 9.2 or later, I believe.

Re: Please explain VO's "swipe with one finger" gesture

2014-02-10 Thread Alex Hall
I assume you mean the one-finger flick, to move from item to item? First, don't 
make the move too big - a half inch to an inch is enough, I find. Second, don't 
put your finger down and then flick or swipe, as that usually leads to 
Voiceover thinking you are touching rather than trying to perform a command. 
Instead, be making the flick gesture as your finger hits the screen, so that 
the flick or swipe is interpreted as what you intended from the start and there 
is less room for ambiguity. It sounds harder than it is, I promise. Finally, 
make use of Voiceover's practice mode (double tap four fingers, then do that 
again or do a two-finger scrub to exit this mode).

However, it disallowed it, since "the email address cannot be in a domain owned 
by Apple". A bit of googling, and I find that your iCloud account is an Apple 
ID in itself. I'm now thoroughly confused. I have a Gmail address tied to my 
Apple ID, and I have an @icloud.com address. Do I have two Apple IDs now? Do I 
have one with multiple addresses? What would happen to my apps, music, and the 
rest if I wanted to move to my iCloud email as my ID, assuming it is somehow 
different from my Gmail ID? I am just very confused, and hope someone can 
explain exactly what's going on. Thanks!

Re: ap to read braille(brf) formatted files/books?

2014-02-10 Thread Teresa Cochran
I don't know of anything for iOS that will do this without a braille display.

Alternatively, (and I say this as primarily a Braille reader) there are far 
more audio book titles than there are Braille titles. You might have better 
luck searching for audiobooks instead.

Entering addresses in contacts resolved.

Hi,

I figured out that somehow Simpler Pro was interfering with the phone's 
original contact options. I just had to delete and reinstall, and now all is 
well. It was weird because it was also happening on my iPad mini, and i finally 
figured it out.

Thanks for your help,

ap to read braille(brf) formatted files/books?

Hi,

I do not find any convenient way to convert brf files to text so I am now 
looking for an app to read braille files/books.  Is there such a thing?

I searched the app store and see nothing that supports brf files.  At least not 
found doing a search.

thanks.

Re: Alarm Clock setting when you don't have Siri

2014-02-10 Thread Alan Paganelli
If you have Siri, just have Siri set the alarm for you.  Just hold down the 
home button until you hear the tone and say, set an alarm for 6 AM.  She'll 
come back and say, I've set an alarm for 6 AM.  Of course, you can have Siri 
set it for any time you want.

Thanks for the advice. I already tried doing a reset. It didn't work.
The phone is out of warrantee already. However, Verizon let me
purchase their insurance plan with the stipulation that we can't use
it for 30 days. So I am waiting for that to come up. Once we replace
the phone we can cancel the plan. phones

 Hi

 Of course it's true that some apps use  more power than others, but if
 a
 phone is draining, then the most obvious explanation is that one app or
 another is using the power and it's just an easy thing to eliminate.

 In Mavericks, the battery menu shows you which apps are using
 significant
 amounts of power. If there is a similar thing in IOS7, I haven't found
 it
 yet.

 Reducing screen brightness is a really good one too. I always thought
 it
 counter-intuitive that the screen curtain didn't reduce power use, but
 them's the breaks.

 I have absolutely no authority to back this up, but I am convinced I
 noticed a reduction in power usage on my 5s after I locked the screen
 orientation.

Re: Pairing Bose sound Link mini bluetooth speaker with iPhone

2014-02-10 Thread Robert Doc Wright
Correction. the problem you may run into is if you have more  than one 
bluetooth device that  has been synced with the sound link.  If they are 
both within range then the bluetooth on one must be turned off.
If we can't look at ourselves, and ask, why?  then where does the learning 
start?

Bhte Bose Soundlink is ok as far as pairing.  Not as easy as the Jambox.  If

In Mavericks, the battery menu shows you which apps are using significant
amounts of power. If there is a similar thing in IOS7, I haven't found it
yet.

Reducing screen brightness is a really good one too. I always thought it
counter-intuitive that the screen curtain didn't reduce power use, but

I have absolutely no authority to back this up, but I am convinced I
noticed a reduction in power usage on my 5s after I locked the screen

RE: battery drainage

2014-02-10 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi John,

If I had an iPhone which couldn't get me through the day (assuming normal
usage without using GPS for a couple of hours) I would do a Factory reset
and set up the phone as a new device. I would then check for a couple of
days with no apps installed, but with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. If the
problem was still there I would call Apple to arrange for a replacement
since it is not normal that the battery should only last 5 or 6 hours until
you were constantly using it as in 4 hours worth of phone calls and 2 or 3
hours of surfing, playing video or games etc.

Sieghard

RE: Alarm Clock setting when you don't have Siri

2014-02-10 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Robin,

If you just want to set an Alarm there really is no need to get any extra
app. Yes, there are probably hundreds of Alarm apps out there, but the alarm
function that is part of the Clock app in iOS works perfectly fine.

1. Open the Clock app
2. Double tap the Alarm tab (second from the left across the bottom)
3. Double tap "Add" at the top right of the screen
4. Swipe right until you come to the hour picker control, swipe up or down
with one finger to set it to the hour you want (it always displays the time
when you opened the Clock). Swipe right again and adjust the minutes in the
same way. Lastly, swipe right again and specify AM or PM.
5. Swipe right and double tap "Repeat, Never" if you want to repat the alarm
on certain days, you have a list of each day of the week, if you want, for
example, the same alarm from Monday to Friday, double tap on those days to
select them, then tap on Back at the top left to go bac to the main Alarm
screen.
6. Label: Alarm - here you can give your alarm a different name/label.
7. Sound - here you can pick from the available alarm sounds or you can pick
a song from your music library.
8. Snooze: this is on by default, turn it off if you don't want the snooze
function to repeate the alarm.
9. When you are done double tap "Save" at the top right of the screen and
that's it. It's simple and straight forward, if you are happy with no
repeat, snooze and the default sound all you have to do is set the time and
tap Save.

Any alarms you create will stay in your list of available alarms, if they
are not repeating they go off at the specified time and then are turned off,
but you can just double tap on any alarm and turn it back on if you want to
use it again. This way if you have certain time when you get up, for
example, 6 AM, 6:30 AM, 7 AM, 7:30 AM, 8 AM etc. you could create an alarm
for each of these times and then all you have to do is pull up the Clock
app, Alarm will stay selected unless you change it and then double tap on
the alarm you want to turn it on, then press Home to get back to your home
screen.

If you have an active alarm it will say "Alarm Set" in the status bar,
unfortunately Apple does not include the time there which I think would be a
good idea.

If you want to Edit or delete an existing alarm, maybe change the time or
the sound it uses, just double tap on "Edit at the top left of the screen,
then you have a Delete switch next to each alarm, double tap it to turn it
on, then double tap again to delete.
To Edit double tap on the alarm itself and the same screen opens as when you
set up a new alarm and you can make changes, then Save it.

Sieghard

Re: Alarm Clock setting when you don't have Siri

2014-02-10 Thread SSEric
It is very easy to set an alarm in the native app. Just go to clock and choose 
alarm at the bottom. Now just choose your hours and minutes from the pickers by 
flipping your finger up and down. You can set multiple days and different alarm 
sounds if you like, but not necessary if you just want a one time alarm. In my 
opinion, a separate app for an alarm is overkill.

Maximum voice memo length, was: RE: The potential of the dictation function?

2014-02-10 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Brian,

There is no limit, you can record until your iPhone's available storage is
full. If you had a 64 Gb iPhone this would probably mean you could record
for a couple of weeks. One way to find out is to do a 10 or 15 minute
recording, then check the file size, multiply it by 5 or 4 to get
approximately how big a file for a 1 hour recording would be and then divide
your available storage by that file size.

Subject: Re: The potential of the dictation function?

Sandra, your post is an example of the imaginative and far-reaching messages
I enjoy reading on this list.  I am so glad folks are experimenting with the
dictation option.  I admit to distrusting it since it often makes errors
which users do not catch through proofreading, and this sometimes makes them
appear careless.
Nevertheless, I agree it is a very worthwhile service.  Perhaps more than
any other group, It benefits those who have difficulty typing or cannot do
so at all.

Re: How to update IOS" on original iPod touch

2014-02-10 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Hi,

Personally, I have absolutely no idea why you would want to do an
erase all content and settings on the iPod, only to update to iOs6
afterwards, where you also have the option of backing up (or in this
case not backing up) the settings. Perhaps someone can chime in if I'm
missing something.

To make things simple:

1. Connect the touch to a computer and launch iTunes if it hasn't
already opened.
2. Update to iOS6 which is the latest version of iOS that this touch
can take. Don't back anything up.
3. Setup and then use the touch as per normal.

Your wifes email should be unaffected as in no changes will be made to
any messages remotely, but the messages on the touch will be removed.

Cheers,
Ben.

how does one know if shuffle is on or off

2014-02-10 Thread Fanus
Hello list
I have an iPod touch 4th gen and if I remember correctly the 
shuffle button showed on or off in previous versions of the 
firmware but the last few upgrades do not announce if it is 
on or off. Is there a way to determine?

Re: How to update IOS" on original iPod touch

2014-02-10 Thread Kevin Gibbs
assuming I choose set to factory default on the iPod and then connect to 
iTunes, will I have the option of choosing an IOS version other than 7?  I've 
never operated IOS 7 before.  I'd love to set this thing at IOS6 if I could.  
Is that possible?  And, I assume that, if I do this, I won't have any effect on 
my wife's e-mail accounts that were on this iPod and which are still on her 
iPhone 4 and iPad 2 as iMAP.  Remember, they were POP3 on this iPod.

thanks,

Make it easy for yourself and restore the iPod back to factory settings. 
Go to settings general reset erase all content and settings. Then 
connect to iTunes to set it all up again. Next to update click the check 
for updates button and follow the instructions. Having said that you can 
do the restore totally from iTunes just by clicking the restore button 
which in turn will allow you to update iOS during the restore.
