Re: How to Clear Large Email App Badge Number Post iOS 7.1 Upgreade
It's probably easier to just delete the mail account and set it up again. With that amount of messages it would sure be time consuming to delete them all.

Re: Can you use iMessage on an iPhone 4s that is not an active phone?
I read on an Apple support site that activating iMessage on an iPhone can take up to 24 hours if using an Apple Id. Why just for iPhone I don't know; probably Apple expects you to use your phone number for iMessage hence it being set up that way automatically when setting up an iPhone.

Re: Battery draining
I turned off all background refresh. It looks like location services gets switched on. This causes 15-20% battery drain per hour, and the GPS antenna is the only thing that is this power demanding. Also, it looks as though this is only happening to people running VO. None of my sighted friends are having the battery drain problem. So, turn off background app refresh. Also, very regularly close apps from the app switcher. Finally, email accessibility so they will hopefully soon test this and find the problem. One thing we do know, Apple does repair these sorts of problems when they figure out what is going on. Unfortunately, they usually don't role out an update when the problem is only with VO, so we will most likely be waiting a few months before the problem is resolved.

Re: Can you use iMessage on an iPhone 4s that is not an active phone?
Hi, I found out that you can't use iMessage on a diactivated iPhone because the eime number is different than that of an Ipod or Ipad so even though you've told it to use an email, it still wants you to have a phone number since it's a phone. Face time will not work either.

I read on an Apple support site that activating iMessage on an iPhone can take up to 24 hours if using an Apple Id. Why just for iPhone I don't know; probably Apple expects you to use your phone number for iMessage hence it being set up that way automatically when setting up an iPhone.

Re: Prizmo and the standscan
Hi Lori, Congratulations on getting started with Prizmo and your stand scan. Now, as regards positioning the phone: did you receive the special stickers that come with the stand Scan pro bundle? If so, the trick is to position the phone perfectly once, either using your own vision or with the help of a friend, then, when the phone is in the optimum position, put the stickers around it so that in future you merely have to drop the phone into place. This will save you a lot of frustration in the future. Assuming you are right handed, your phone should be positioned so that the camera is over the little round hole in the centre of the top of your stand scan. The side of the phone, the one that has the volume controls along it, should run parallel to the front of your stand ScanPro. Perhaps, about three quarter of an inch/2 cm away from the front edge. It is important that your phone is absolutely square with the top of the stand ScanPro. What I think is confusing you are the prompts given by Prizmo. These prompts can be useful when you are using Prizmo in freehand mode. But once you have your phone properly positioned on the top of the stand Scan, you can ignore these prompts entirely. Indeed, what Prizmo tells you it can see is almost irrelevant when you're using the standard scan pro. Now, if you are in quick Capture mode, and everything is in place, your phone, your text, Touch the screen just above the home button and you should hear take picture. Double tap it. Then, all you need to do, is wait! Do not double tap the done button. Leave Prizmo to recognise the text and it will tell you when the text is recognised. Then, a two finger flick up will read you the whole of the screen. If you wish to go back to the camera mode, then you may press the done button. Otherwise, should you choose to save your text, there are various ways to do this, but I suggest you master the capturing of text first. So, to recapitulate, The most important thing you need to do is position your phone, either independently or with help, stick the stickers in place, and start practising. Happy scanning, Sandy Sent from my iPhone On 16 Mar 2014, at 02:14, Lori Dent loriand...@ohiohills.com wrote: Hi all, Yesterday and today I was playing around with Prizmo and my standscan. I got my standscan all set up and it was easy to unfold and set up. I have the adapter plugged in to the standscan and into the outlet wall and the light turned on. In my Prizmo app, I either swiped over to quick capture or create new document. Then I either double tapp on the quick capture which takes me right to the quick capture camera or I double tapp on create new document which then gives me three options to choose from 1. text, 2. business card, and 3. imige . So I tapp on text and then it takes me to another screen where I have 2 options to select from 1. take picture and 2, photo alblum . So I tapp on take picture. Now I'm at the camera. At the top left corner of the camera is the flash , so I turned flash mode to on. moving right over from the flash to the middle of the top of the camera is a option button. I double tapp on the option button and in that option button their are three options you can choose to turn on or leave off. The first option is 1. detect page. So I have detect page turned on. The second option is use stablizer. So I have that turned on. Then the third and final option is clean upiminge . But I have this one turned off. I have my sheet of paper with Lions )Eye Care Foundation ) informationin the standscan ready togo. On top of the standscan is a round hole that you can see through, if you were sighted. Anyhow, Iplaced my I phone camera over this hole and trying to position my phone just right so the text detector will detect the text on the sheet. I tried and tried over and over to position my phone just right and I do have a little sight that Ican tell that the camera has the entire text in view but it didn't say text detected and ready to shoot or take a picture. So I went ahead and took the picture and then swiped left to right to the done button. And it said unable to process text not detected. So I once again tried repeating the process and trying to line up my phone just right so that the text detector will detect the text. So finally, after trying and trying it finally detected the text and it said ready to shoot or take a picture. So I tapped the camera button and took the picture and then swiped over to done and at the top right corner I think it said results. So I tapped on results and there was my sheet of paper with the Lions (Eye Care Foundation ) information I wanted to scan into text.So I was successfull and was able to read the text. But now I can't get my phone positioned just right no matter what I do so I can take another picture of another sheet of information I want

Re: Battery draining
Hi David, The battery draining problem is getting worse, so yesterday evening before going out I charged the phone as much as I could and timed the drainage. It dropped 35% in a 3 1/2 hour period of time. Hence, I will place my complaint to Apple accessibility. The phone was completely drained and dead as a doorknob when I just got up. Where can I find the background refresh to turn that off? I didn't totally turn off location services, but turned it off in apps that I didn't need to have it on. What else do I need to do to save on battery? Thanks. Best, Eileen On Mar 16, 2014, at 4:16 AM, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: I turned off all background refresh.

Also, very regularly close apps from the app switcher. Finally, email accessibility so they will hopefully soon test this and find the problem.

Hi, thank you for the reply. The only problem that I have found with the notes app is that if you want to edit an entry that you have previously added or I should say a note, I find this very difficult. If you know a way that this is resolved please tell me and I would be glad to try it. Thank you very much for your reply. God bless, Wren Langley PS. Thank you all in advance for your responses.

Re: Voice Dream Reader 3 update, What's New
I did go back to the app store later and found what you posted. The last couple of times I did the update, the what's new info was in voice dream reader itself. I just wished voice dream reader would support the daisy books from open library.org. -Original Message- From: Richard Turner Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2014 9:23 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Voice Dream Reader 3 update, What's New I always read the description of an app and the what's new section in the app description. I guess I shouldn't assume others do the same. Here is the what's new section from the app store: What's New in Version 3.0.0 Posted Mar 14, 2014 Version 3.0.0 marks an important milestone in the evolution of Voice Dream Reader. We now support images, starting with PDF files. Before now, Voice Dream Reader extracts text and discards the original file. After this update, it can display PDF files in the original layout and lets you do nearly everything, like annotation, that you could do in the text view. Plus, you can switch between the text view and the original layout view effortlessly: just swipe horizontally from the left or right edge of the screen. Also, 4 Ivona English voices, Salli, Joey, Amy and Brian, are available as in-app purchases. They're truly stunning, and other Ivona voices are coming soon. Finally, Voice Dream Reader now supports all variants of DAISY books. Thanks for your support. Please continue to spread the word about Voice Dream Reader, and we’ll continue to make this app even better. New Features: - Ivona voices - PDF reading in original layout - Support for all variants of DAISY - Improved performance loading DAISY and EPUB books - Web browser can reliably download DAISY, EPUB, and PDF files - Improved URL handling and browsing history for built-in browser - Option to show text highlighting directly on the text - Light and dark color themes are customizable - Customizable margin width, line height and character spacing or kerning - Support for Open In… for MP3, M4A and MP4 files - VoiceOver users can use 3-finger swipes to move or expand text selection by sentence - Improved Braille Display support - Many minor improvements and bug fixes -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Russ Kiehne Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2014 7:57 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Voice Dream Reader 3 update I just did the update and found no what's new after the install.

Re: A good app for writing and editing and adding to my journal and being able to store my journal and dropbox
Editing notes is simple: double tap on the note, and there you are. You will have a text field with the note's text, which you can edit. Once you are happy with the changes, hit the done button. For use with Mbraille and Dropbox, nothing beats Drafts. Braille your entry, use the .drafts (or .da) command, and Drafts opens. Once it does, you can invoke an action you set up once that will save your entry. You can set the action to do all kinds of fun things, like use the first line of your text plus the date as the filename, for instance.

Hi all. I don't think Joey is worth buying. Sounds too robotic and so does Sally. I like the new voice that Ivona has made, Raveena out of all of them.

I guess I shouldn't assume others do the same. Here is the what's new section from the app store: What's New in Version 3.0.0 Posted Mar 14, 2014 Version 3.0.0 marks an important milestone in the evolution of Voice Dream Reader. We now support images, starting with PDF files. Before now, Voice Dream Reader extracts text and discards the original file. After this update, it can display PDF files in the original layout and lets you do nearly everything, like annotation, that you could do in the text view. Plus, you can switch between the text view and the original layout view effortlessly: just swipe horizontally from the left or right edge of the screen. Also, 4 Ivona English voices, Salli, Joey, Amy and Brian, are available as in-app purchases. They're truly stunning, and other Ivona voices are coming soon. Finally, Voice Dream Reader now supports all variants of DAISY books. Thanks for your support. Please continue to spread the word about Voice Dream Reader, and we’ll continue to make this app even better. New Features: - Ivona voices - PDF reading in original layout - Support for all variants of DAISY - Improved performance loading DAISY and EPUB books - Web browser can reliably download DAISY, EPUB, and PDF files - Improved URL handling and browsing history for built-in browser - Option to show text highlighting directly on the text - Light and dark color themes are customizable - Customizable margin width, line height and character spacing or kerning - Support for Open In… for MP3, M4A and MP4 files - VoiceOver users can use 3-finger swipes to move or expand text selection by sentence - Improved Braille Display support - Many minor improvements and bug fixes -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Russ Kiehne Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2014 7:57 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Voice Dream Reader 3 update I just did the update and found no what's new after the install.

Re: a comparison of James, the American male voice and Amy, the British female voice in Voice Dream Reader 3.0
I haven't used a Kindle, so I have no idea. However, I am almost certain Bookshare uses Kendra. I think she sounds too broken up - you can almost hear the individual recorded phonemes. She is not in VDR, by the way. That said, Bookshare may have switched voices in the year or so since I tried their audio book service. Once I got VDR, downloading audio books made with a synthesizer became redundant.

I'm glad you asked that question. I had no idea until I just did a Google search that Amazon has purchase Ivona. Sadly, nothing on the web that I have found identifies the voices used on the Kindle Fire, other than there is only U.S. and U.K. English voices. That was from the Amazon Kindle Accessibility help page. However, Bookshare was very clear. From the Bookshare web site under formats: Voicing is provided by the high quality Kendra voice from Ivona, not your reading tool There you go.

Re: Battery draining
Hi Pablo, Thanks for your directions on what has helped with the battery issue. I was hoping that I didn't have to go to that exreme. Between the iPhone 4, the Dell freezing, and the Win 8 not installing in Bootcamp properly, I am tech dumb for now. I have fully charged the phone this morning, lowered brightness to 10'%, turned off stuff in location services that I don't need, looked at all the different options under privacy that could be turned off, and I will see if any of this will make a difference. I am running iOS 7.0.6 and I didn't have problems at first with the battery, but I have been slowly going through all of the numerous app updates and may be there was one that triggered the battery hog. Thanks again for your suggestion and I may need to resort to it.

RE: Setting up the Standscan
Hi Paul, When I got mine, I scanned the instructions and read them. I don't usually have problems understanding instructions but I had trouble picturing them. If you have a sighted person to help for the first time it would be great because its more obvious if you can see it. Having said that, its not really complicated and you'll figure it out but it will take lots more time than the 10 or 15 seconds it takes after the first time. If you fold in the triangular parts, it will start to make sense. If you fold inwards the pre-defined lines in the cardboard, you'll figure it out quickly. Keep in mind that it is not a cube when its finished. The top is smaller than the bottom. Can't remember the English word for it but its like a pyramid with the top cut off. This newer release is more solid and the magnets holding it together are much stronger. Once you've done it once, you'll wonder what took you so long, (grin) Ron Danvers -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Hunt Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2014 10:14 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Setting up the Standscan Hello everyone.

Re: A good app for writing and editing and adding to my journal and being able to store my journal and dropbox
Hello again, I just tried it with one of my old notes at random. I found that you have to touch the middle of the screen to bring the note itself into focus. If you then double tap you will hear something like note editing. The virtual keyboard will have appeared on the bottom half of your screen. Unless, of course, you were using a Bluetooth keyboard. If you double tap with one finger, you should hear cursor at start of text. Now you should be able to use all the usual editing functions. If you tap the done button towards the top right, once you have finished with your note, you will be given various options such as, for example, share. At this point, should you choose it, you could either copy, send this message, possibly sync it with dropbox, I am not sure of this one, and a few other options. Hope this helps, Sandy Sent from my iPhone On 16 Mar 2014, at 14:16, Lea Langley wrenlang...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Hi, thank you for the reply.

It looks like location services gets switched on. This causes 15-20% battery drain per hour, and the GPS antenna is the only thing that is this power demanding. Also, it looks as though this is only happening to people running VO. None of my sighted friends are having the battery drain problem. So, turn off background app refresh. Also, very regularly close apps from the app switcher. Finally, email accessibility so they will hopefully soon test this and find the problem. One thing we do know, Apple does repair these sorts of problems when they figure out what is going on. Unfortunately, they usually don't role out an update when the problem is only with VO, so we will most likely be waiting a few months before the problem is resolved.

Plus, you can switch between the text view and the original layout view effortlessly: just swipe horizontally from the left or right edge of the screen. Also, 4 Ivona English voices, Salli, Joey, Amy and Brian, are available as in-app purchases. They're truly stunning, and other Ivona voices are coming soon. Finally, Voice Dream Reader now supports all variants of DAISY books. Thanks for your support.

Oh, really, Alex? This indeed confirms how much different one's perception of synthetic speech can bee!

Kendra is horrible, though, and Joey annoys me after a while. That said, overall the good Ivona voices still have the others beat, I think. Again, synthesized speech is one of the most subjective things we could discuss, so I guess it comes down to this: whichever you prefer, VDR now offers four voice manufacturers to pick from. The other Daisy app on iOS offers only one, and other self-voicing apps similarly lack choices. No matter how you slice it, you are more likely by far to find a voice you like in VDR than any other app. On Mar 15, 2014, at 6:02 PM, Gmail englishride...@gmail.com wrote: This is probably just me, but I think most of the Ivona voices sound super flat.

Sorry, but Kendra is not offered in VDR. The two female Ivona voices are Sally (American) and Amy (British). On Mar 16, 2014, at 12:49 PM, Dionesque diones...@interia.pl wrote: Oh, really, Alex?

Kendra is horrible, though, and Joey annoys me after a while. That said, overall the good Ivona voices still have the others beat, I think. Again, synthesized speech is one of the most subjective things we could discuss, so I guess it comes down to this: whichever you prefer, VDR now offers four voice manufacturers to pick from. The other Daisy app on iOS offers only one, and other self-voicing apps similarly lack choices. No matter how you slice it, you are more likely by far to find a voice you like in VDR than any other app. On Mar 15, 2014, at 6:02 PM, Gmail englishride...@gmail.com wrote: This is probably just me, but I think most of the Ivona voices sound super flat.

Re: Battery draining
The only way I am able to get location services to disappear from the status bar is to completely disable background app refresh. I attempted it again last night with the same result after a reboot and a warm reset. Go to settings, general, background app refresh. Again, this appears to only affect VO users, so expect it to take more time before the error is resolved. Apple only rushes fixes for critical situations that affect significant numbers of users, and VO users are less than 1% of the user base. Every email to accessibil...@apple.com helps because more emails about the same issue means they know more people have the problem, so they will increase the resources directed toward fixing the problem. As for those who complain that Apple should fix it now, please remember back to the wonderful days of the extremely expensive specialised note-taker. It usually took the manufacturer between six months and a year between updates, and we always had to live with the problem until then, if the problem was even fixed. Oh, and let's not forget, some devices could not be upgraded without sending them back to the manufacturer. Finally, the annual upgrade fee was usually rather significant.

RE: Battery draining
David, Good points as always. For those who are wanting to use any GPS while the phone is locked, however, they will need to turn on background app refresh for those apps while traveling. It isn't that difficult, just a step to remember before going out. Also, someone had the flashlight in the app switcher. The flashlight, if it is on, will eat a good 10% per hour or more. I accidently left it on once and was wondering what the heck was causing my battery to drain so fast. I have no light perception, and had turned it on to help a coworker and then left for the day forgetting about it. I have not personally had significant battery drain issues with my 5S, but I only have things on when I am using them, otherwise, I disable just about everything that isn't necessary. For those who are not changing time zones on a regular basis, there is an auto time zone setting feature in the Settings, General, Date and time that I would turn off.

Re: Prizmo and the standscan
Hi again there, I am left-handed too! Indeed, I placed the phone on the diagonally opposite corner from the one I suggested to you. So, if you have the stand Scan in front of you with its open side towards you, your phone should be on the further left hand corner. Obviously, the camera will still be positioned directly over the viewing hole. Probably, this isn't very important, which corny you place it, but I do find it easier being left-handed placing it thus. The thing to do, in your situation, that is, needing to get good at using Prizmo, is to use the quick capture mode while you are practising. Also, once you have tapped quick Capture, ignore anything that Prizmo says to you and just do a two finger double tap. Prizmo will take the picture and do the rest! Once you have become comfortable with this, and you need to scan some multipage documents, then you can progress to the create a new documentmode, in which you can just keep taking the pictures and do the recognition after this. Prizmo will store these scanned documents for you. There is also an app called text grabber. This is worth having to! It is totally easy to use, much more so than Prizmo. And between Prizmo and TextGrabber you will have the best solution at the moment available to the iPhone. When TextGrabber does badly you may find that Prizmo does well and, sometimes, the other way round too. I made a mistake in my previous message to you, I said that when you have done reading your recognised text that you should tap the done button you actually have to tap the close button. I do hope some of this helps and feel free to ask whatever you need. Scanning is my speciality!

I did it! (Prizmo and standxan)
Hi Sandy, I placed my guides around my phone on top of the standscan after I got my phone lens camera positioned over the hole and I took some pictures and practiced and I had no problems with the phone positioning anymore. But now I have some more questions to ask about Prizmo. 1. What is the difference between quick capture and creat new document? A lot of my picture taking will be applications, authorization forms and other important documents. So when I'm taking pictures of these important documents, do I use the quick capture or creat new document or does it even matter? 2. When using quick capture and after taking the picture it processes and then it says results. How do I get to the results? 3. At the bottum of the screen of the result screen, there are three buttons save,copy and open in . The save button I know will save the document but where does it save the document at? The copy button I know is to copy the text and I'm assuming it clips it to the clip board? But where is the clip board at? The open in button is where you can I assume put your text document in Ever note or dropbox. 4. I noticed I can either use i cloud, Ever note or dropbox, so which one is best to use? I have all three of these. When I use quick capture or creat new document, do I swipe over until Ihear these 2 options or do I just double tapp on the creat new document or quick capture at the bottom of the main screen? 5. When I use the creat new document, and I have taken the picture do I then swipe over to the done button in the top right corner of the phone or double tapp on the done button at the right bottum corner of the phone? When I tapp on the done button at the bottum right corner of the phone it will take me to the pages screen. It will say page one of one . In the left top corner of the phone is a button called documents and if you swipe over from left to right the next function button will say pages,edit, page one of one, at new page, text, change text type, and export document. I'm not sure what all these function buttons are for. Can you explain? These button functions are in all four corners on the phone and at the top and bottum of the phone. 2. How do I name or rename a document after I have created a new documenmt? 3. I think I've come across a button called rebuy. What does this button mean and what does it do? Sorry for the long and langthly post but I didn't want to forget anything and I hope I covered all my questions hear. Anyone who responds back to this post I will very much appreciate it. Thanks.

Re: Battery draining
Good Afternoon All, I just wanted to let you know that this location services bug of staying on constantly doesn't just effect us VoiceOver users. In fact, It hadn't affected me (a VO user) but did affect my fiance who's not a VO user. I first went to Privacy Location services (I turned on VO to do this BTW) I noticed that not only was FourSquare on, but it said it was currently using his current location despite the fact it wasn't in his app switcher. So I turned off the phone and back on and location services was still in the status line. I did a hard boot, holding the power button the home button to no avail. So I googled location services constantly running and found the following forum https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5984935 There it told me to go to the following: You can either turn off background refresh of GPS altogether or turn off the individual apps that use GPS all the time like google maps, Foursquare, or Facebook. They will still be able to use GPS when you open them, but will not keep the GPS running in the background when the app is closed. For some reason, after I updated to 7.1, this was activated and had all the apps updating in the background even when they were closed. Now I have no problems. GPS and location services only open when I open the associated app. This seems to fix it, I turned off FourSquare as directed above and suddenly the location services icon only shows up when FourSquare is launched as it does on my phone, but when FS is taken out of the app switcher the location Services goes off in the status line. Both my fiance and I have iPhone 5s and are both running iOS 7.1. I hope this helps someone out there.

It looks like location services gets switched on. This causes 15-20% battery drain per hour, and the GPS antenna is the only thing that is this power demanding. Also, it looks as though this is only happening to people running VO. None of my sighted friends are having the battery drain problem. So, turn off background app refresh. Also, very regularly close apps from the app switcher.

So I turned off the phone and back on and location services was still in the status line. I did a hard boot, holding the power button the home button to no avail. So I googled location services constantly running and found the following forum https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5984935 There it told me to go to the following: You can either turn off background refresh of GPS altogether or turn off the individual apps that use GPS all the time like google maps, Foursquare, or Facebook. They will still be able to use GPS when you open them, but will not keep the GPS running in the background when the app is closed. For some reason, after I updated to 7.1, this was activated and had all the apps updating in the background even when they were closed. Now I have no problems. GPS and location services only open when I open the associated app. This seems to fix it, I turned off FourSquare as directed above and suddenly the location services icon only shows up when FourSquare is launched as it does on my phone, but when FS is taken out of the app switcher the location Services goes off in the status line. Both my fiance and I have iPhone 5s and are both running iOS 7.1. I hope this helps someone out there.

Re: Text detective issue
My advice would be to practice at home with a printed page or possibly a book. Lighting in restaurants tends to be low, so you might want to experiment in different lighting conditions. So far, I've only used Textdetective once to help me identify some new violin strings and it worked like a charm, far better than Talking Goggles ever did.

Re: Text detective issue
Hi Haya, let's start with the basic requirement of good lighting. If the restaurant is dark and there are no lamps or enough illumination, then you may have some difficulty in getting Text Detector, TapTapSee, or any other object recognition app to work. The back facing camera needs to be place approximately in the center of the written materials. this is where the horizontal and verticle lines will meet. When first emerging myself into the OCR scanning tasks on the phone, I printed out a short paragraph from the computer and then folded it both lengthwise and in half. this gave me creases for where I should place the phone and I began to practice this way. Now, I don't think about it and just estimate the center point. I also place the bottom edge of the written material perpendicular to the edge of the table to keep it straight. Text Detector scanning is done in landscape mode. I place the back facing camera in the center point flat on the paper and tap the Take Picture button. I use 2 hands on the phone's case and lift straight up until I hear VO announce Detecting best picture. It will scan the image, indicate if there's any text or not. If text is detected, then you will hear a percentage of the OCR recognition. The scan button is located in the lower left portion of the phone in landscape mode. I HTH.

Re: Text detective issue
Well, the way Text Detective works using landscape rather than portrait, you cannot get it to scan an entire page at once. As for your first scan, before you go to the restaurant, use a printed sheet of paper at home and practice, practice, practice. Otherwise, you will become frustrated and disappointed very quickly at the restaurant as the app does not successfully scan the menu. Practicing will teach you what you need to do beforehand whilst you are not in a stressful situation.

Re: Text detective issue
Thanks. I'll let you know how it works out if you like. Haya Simkin guide dog Pammy Sent from my iPhone On Mar 16, 2014, at 23:19, Eileen Misrahi eileen.misr...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Haya, let's start with the basic requirement of good lighting. If the restaurant is dark and there are no lamps or enough illumination, then you may have some difficulty in getting Text Detector, TapTapSee, or any other object recognition app to work. The back facing camera needs to be place approximately in the center of the written materials. this is where the horizontal and verticle lines will meet. When first emerging myself into the OCR scanning tasks on the phone, I printed out a short paragraph from the computer and then folded it both lengthwise and in half. this gave me creases for where I should place the phone and I began to practice this way. Now, I don't think about it and just estimate the center point. I also place the bottom edge of the written material perpendicular to the edge of the table to keep it straight. Text Detector scanning is done in landscape mode. I place the back facing camera in the center point flat on the paper and tap the Take Picture button. I use 2 hands on the phone's case and lift straight up until I hear VO announce Detecting best picture. It will scan the image, indicate if there's any text or not. If text is detected, then you will hear a percentage of the OCR recognition. The scan button is located in the lower left portion of the phone in landscape mode. I HTH.

Re: I did it! (Prizmo and standxan)
Just a quick response for now, once Prizmo has said results, a two finger flick up will read you everything including your scanned text. Will take a look at your other questions tomorrow, it being quite late here in Ireland. Well done, Sandy Sent from my iPhone On 16 Mar 2014, at 19:54, Lori Dent loriand...@ohiohills.com wrote: Hi Sandy, I placed my guides around my phone on top of the standscan after I got my phone lens camera positioned over the hole and I took some pictures and practiced and I had no problems with the phone positioning anymore. But now I have some more questions to ask about Prizmo. 1. What is the difference between quick capture and creat new document? A lot of my picture taking will be applications, authorization forms and other important documents. So when I'm taking pictures of these important documents, do I use the quick capture or creat new document or does it even matter? 2. When using quick capture and after taking the picture it processes and then it says results. How do I get to the results? 3. At the bottum of the screen of the result screen, there are three buttons save,copy and open in . The save button I know will save the document but where does it save the document at? The copy button I know is to copy the text and I'm assuming it clips it to the clip board? But where is the clip board at? The open in button is where you can I assume put your text document in Ever note or dropbox. 4. I noticed I can either use i cloud, Ever note or dropbox, so which one is best to use? I have all three of these. When I use quick capture or creat new document, do I swipe over until Ihear these 2 options or do I just double tapp on the creat new document or quick capture at the bottom of the main screen? 5. When I use the creat new document, and I have taken the picture do I then swipe over to the done button in the top right corner of the phone or double tapp on the done button at the right bottum corner of the phone? When I tapp on the done button at the bottum right corner of the phone it will take me to the pages screen. It will say page one of one . In the left top corner of the phone is a button called documents and if you swipe over from left to right the next function button will say pages,edit, page one of one, at new page, text, change text type, and export document. I'm not sure what all these function buttons are for. Can you explain? These button functions are in all four corners on the phone and at the top and bottum of the phone. 2. How do I name or rename a document after I have created a new documenmt? 3. I think I've come across a button called rebuy. What does this button mean and what does it do? Sorry for the long and langthly post but I didn't want to forget anything and I hope I covered all my questions hear. Anyone who responds back to this post I will very much appreciate it. Thanks. Lori and the Gipper I already know how to delete a document if I don't want it anymore. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

In fact, It hadn't affected me (a VO user) but did affect my fiance who's not a VO user. I first went to Privacy Location services (I turned on VO to do this BTW) I noticed that not only was FourSquare on, but it said it was currently using his current location despite the fact it wasn't in his app switcher. So I turned off the phone and back on and location services was still in the status line. I did a hard boot, holding the power button the home button to no avail. So I googled location services constantly running and found the following forum https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5984935 There it told me to go to the following: You can either turn off background refresh of GPS altogether or turn off the individual apps that use GPS all the time like google maps, Foursquare, or Facebook. They will still be able to use GPS when you open them, but will not keep the GPS running in the background when the app is closed. For some reason, after I updated to 7.1, this was activated and had all the apps updating in the background even when they were closed. Now I have no problems. GPS and location services only open when I open the associated app. This seems to fix it, I turned off FourSquare as directed above and suddenly the location services icon only shows up when FourSquare is launched as it does on my phone, but when FS is taken out of the app switcher the location Services goes off in the status line. Both my fiance and I have iPhone 5s and are both running iOS 7.1. I hope this helps someone out there.

Again, this appears to only affect VO users, so expect it to take more time before the error is resolved. Apple only rushes fixes for critical situations that affect significant numbers of users, and VO users are less than 1% of the user base. Every email to accessibil...@apple.com helps because more emails about the same issue means they know more people have the problem, so they will increase the resources directed toward fixing the problem. As for those who complain that Apple should fix it now, please remember back to the wonderful days of the extremely expensive specialised note-taker. It usually took the manufacturer between six months and a year between updates, and we always had to live with the problem until then, if the problem was even fixed. Oh, and let's not forget, some devices could not be upgraded without sending them back to the manufacturer. Finally, the annual upgrade fee was usually rather significant.

TapTapSee repurchasing issue.
Hi all. I am trying to use TapTapSee, have purchased it, the unlimited package. But now, every time I go back into it it asks me to purchase again. I know this is been covered, and I apologize.

Re: Can you use iMessage on an iPhone 4s that is not an active phone?
Actually, I have a 5s, I bought it used, it's locked to ATT, and currently don't have it on a cell plan. But, I have used it with Facetime. HTH, Jeff .

Face time will not work either.

I read on an Apple support site that activating iMessage on an iPhone can take up to 24 hours if using an Apple Id. Why just for iPhone I don't know; probably Apple expects you to use your phone number for iMessage hence it being set up that way automatically when setting up an iPhone.

Setting up the StandScan Pro
Hello everyone, Here is a description of how to set up the StandScan Pro that I posted almost a year ago. Lay the folded StandScan on a table with the small flap away from you. Open the small flap and fold back the body of the StandScan towards you. Now the topmost piece should open to the left, and the remaining part will open to the right but will still be a double thickness. Open the final piece to the right. Go to the lefthand piece and you'll find that there is a crease running from where it joins the second piece to the lefthand edge, a few centimetres in. Fold along this crease making an elongated triangle. The same thing can be found on the back edge of the same piece, and on the front and back edges of the third section. The piece at the extreme right is the top and you can find the LEDs along its back edge, and the cable at its back left corner. Lift the righthand section and lift the lefthand section, then fold over the flap at the end of the section with the LEDs so that the magnets meet the magnets on the lefthand section. A flap of the top section folds down to engage with the magnets on the triangular pieces, and the piece still lying flat at the back lifts up to meet the top and the triangular side pieces at the back. Your StandScan should now look like a large box with an open front and a short cable coming out of the upper back lefthand corner. Cheers, Anne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group. Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing viphone@googlegroups.com.

Re: Apple TV 6.1 has enhanced voices and new voice options.
I have been logged in to WWE network since launch day. Don't know, mayybe its the area. I do know you have to setup an accoun first on WWE.com or subscribe threw iTunes.

I guess the 22khz voice instead of the compressed voice we previously had. What I think is also new but may not be is the ability to change the voice to any of the voices currently available on the iPhone or iPad version of iOS. Above accessibility in the general settings menu is a new menu item called region settings. If you change this for example to United Kingdom, you get Daniel, Australian and you get Karren, There is also a language option above this which I think gives exactly the same functionality. Australian english and UK english are available in this menu too. The only issue seems to be that if you use anything other than U.S. you are back down to a lower quality voice and Karen doesn't speak very quickly but still new options are always good, shows Apple are still expanding voiceover on Apple TV. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.
