Weird I haven't noticed this bug. When did you start having this problem?

 Hello,

 There has been a VoiceOver volume bug present in iOS ever since 7.1 or a 
 little earlier.  I've noticed it many, many times.

 There are instances, for example, when after dictating a text message, 
 VoiceOver's volume is thereafter reduced.  Strangely enough, this is not a 
 consistent bug which is probably why it has not been resolved.

 The only way I have discovered to restore the volume is to restart the phone 
 or, either make or receive a phone call.

 Has this not been discussed on this list before?

 I've been away for a while.

Re: Should I not run iPhone only apps on my iPad?

2014-04-27 Thread RobH.
Ok, afaik,  the app shouldn't effect appstore's ability to work properly.

iPhone apps can run on an iPad, all be it in a small bit of the screen in 
the middle.  There is an option to expand into full screen, great for 
limited sight, as it is then big enough to see!

iPad only apps on the iPhone are more problematic.

Hello all,

I reported a problem to an Apple accessibility person today regarding an app 
store crash when I switch from iPad only apps to iPhone only apps when 
searching.  He told me that since the app in question was designed to run on 
an iPhone and not an iPad that he wasn't sure that his engineers could come 
up with a fix.  Does it really matter that I'm trying to run an iPhone only 
app on my iPad mini or did I get bad support?  His basic point was that I 
was trying to run an app on a device it wasn't trying to run on.  It seems 
like this is beside the point that the App Store is crashing when I'm trying 
to perform a search in this way.  Just curious what everyone else thinks of 
this.  Thanks,

Mike

Re: Should I not run iPhone only apps on my iPad?

2014-04-27 Thread RobH.
Again, afaik,  the app coding should always work on both as they're the same 
processor type and OS;  it is only display size that is the operable issue. 
An iPhone app takes up a fraction of the display of an iPad, but it can blow 
it up full screen.  An iPad app will assume so much display area it's never 
going to fit on the little iPhone screens.

That's the simplification as I understand it.

An iPad app should be smart enough to check this first, and exit once it 
realises, before trying to do anything stupid.

BTW, I think it was BMW that pioneered the emergency spare wheel as a small 
one to save trunk/boot space, so it was just enough to limp home on. 
Terrible on potholes.

When I told him that this app was designed for the iPhone, he told me that I 
could put the wrong size tire on a car and get it to work sometimes. That 
was basically his comparison. I just thought it was very odd that he decided 
to ask me about this instead of just taking my issue.

 audio was fine for voice, but not so great for music, and there was a lot
 of audio bleed. If I was sitting next to someone in a car or on a bus,
 they could hear what I was hearing.
 The new ones seem to be a little more sturdily constructed. The controls
 are on the right side, as opposed to the back, so they are more easily
 reached, and I think that this design puts less stress on the headband.
 The audio quality is much improved. They say that the bluetooth antenna
 has been moved forward, so you shouldn't get the disconnects that some
 complained about in the past. So far, I would definitely give it a thumbs
 up.

Re: an accessible weather app

2014-04-27 Thread Gadget Girl Anita
Hello.  When you first open the app, it is usually focused on locations.  Do a 
one finger swipe to the right until you get to settings.  Do a one-finger 
double tap on settings.  Once it opens, swipe to the right until you land on 
notifications.  One-finger double tap to select it.  Once it opens, swipe to 
the right and single finger double tap on the notifications you want to be 
alerted of.  When done, you can return to the previous screen by finding the 
back button on the top left.

This is a great app.

Re: Seeking Your Thoughts

2014-04-27 Thread Richard Turner
I had removed the USA Today app a long time ago because it was flakey with 
VoiceOver.
: just downloaded it again and you are right. I get the exact behavior you 
describe.
That is not a setting on your phone.
There is clearly some kind of code in their app that is confusing VoiceOver.
It is like they are using an end of article code at the end of each paragraph.
I hear the bong sound like you hear when you get to the end of an article 
after each sentence or paragraph.
I think if you describe that to the developer and  asked them to look at how 
VoiceOver behaves, they can figure it out if they want to.
Good luck,
Richard

 When I activate an article and issue the  two-finger swipe down command, 
 VoiceOver reads from one to three sentences of the article perfectly, then 
 stops reading. The only way I can read the remainder of the article is to 
 flick right twice for each sentence. Flicking right once merely repeats the 
 last sentence spoken.
 
 I have two questions. First, does anyone know of a setting on my phone I 
 might be able to change in order to resolve this problem? Second, is there a 
 particular thing causing this issue that I could mention to the companies who 
 make and distribute these apps?

You use it all the time, as this is how to turn pages in iPhone. That is, if

Re: new aftershotz blues2

2014-04-27 Thread ROBERT CARTER
Hi,

I am a big fan and daily user of the Aftershokz headphones. I have both the 
wired and bluetooth versions. I do not use the Aftershokz for music. I use Bose 
headphones for music. So, the Aftershokz are only used by me for podcast 
listening, audio books and text to speech. I had excellent success with the 
original Bluez model. I find them comfortable and for what I use them for, to 
me they sound great.

The new Bluez 2 are nicely designed with the headband smaller because the 
controls are on the right side and not in the head band on the back.

I like the sound of the Bluez 2 but they do have more bass and they vibrate my 
cheek bones more than the original Bluez do. I am not finding them quite as 
comfortable as the original Bluez model. They hurt my right ear after wearing 
them for an hour or more. This isn't terrible and I just adjust them once in 
awhile to ease the discomfort.

The new Bluez 2 do have speech built-in. The voice is called Audrey. It is a 
very clear voice. It tells you when the headset is in pairing mode and it tells

The volume and on/off buttons are very small and take a bit of searching to

I do like the Bluez 2 and the addition of speech is nice. I think speech 
appeared in later versions of the original Bluez but mine didn't have it. I 
think the construction of the Bluez 2 is very solid. I am not at all sorry that

Re: new aftershotz blues2

2014-04-27 Thread Christopher J Chaltain
I have the original Bluez, which I just purchased a few months ago. I 
agree with the assessment below. I do have speech on my Bluez, so 
apparently this feature was added to the original Bluez at some point. 
The only minor nuisance I have with the Bluez  is that the bluetooth 
reception will sometimes get flaky. I can usually fix this by just 
adjusting where my iPhone is in relationship to my Bluez headphones. I 
think it was David who explained how the bluetooth reception can be 
effected by the water in your body. Hopefully this has been addressed in 
the Bluez 2. I can't wait to check out the Bluez 2, but I'll be happily 
using the original Bluez for a little while yet.

awhile to ease the discomfort.

The new Bluez 2 do have speech built-in. The voice is called Audrey. It is a very clear

Re: new aftershotz blues2

2014-04-27 Thread Alex Hall
Chris, you might look into upgrading. Many people who bought the Bluez recently 
were able to get a free replacement if they had problems with their units. For 
instance, if my phone is in a pocket, I can't use the Bluez outside because the 
audio is too choppy. In fact, just behind down will usually cause the 
connection to drop entirely. Plus, sound bleed is a huge problem. When I 
emailed sa...@aftershokz.com to ask about upgrading to the upcoming 
second-generation, they offered a free replacement. If you bought your Bluez 
recently, you may want to try the same thing.

Dear Sieghard,

It is unfortunate that bing rewards is not available in Canada.
Hopefully this will change soon.

While the 100 GB is only for a year.  I anticipate that the reward may
be available next year.  If not, iDrive will likely be one of a string
of similar offers that provide what a few years ago would have been a
fantastical amount of off site storage.

 Hi Kelly,

 Just a bit of a clarification and comment for users outside the US. I just
 had a look at this offer and one should mention that the 100 Gb you get by
 redeeming the Bing Rewards points is for 1 year only. Maybe this is good
 marketing because some people may not notice this or think about it, then
 they fill up their 100 Gb with all sorts of stuff and one year from now they

 are told they better pay up or loose it.

 Secondly, I am in Canada and when I just tried to sign up for a Bing Rewards

 account I got a message that Bing Rewards are not yet available in my
 country. I guess I carry on with my 25 Gb I had for quite some time. This
 maybe isn't enough for thousands of pictures, but it's plenty for quite a
 lot of regular documents.

 Another deal will be great for windows 8.1 users.  Microsoft’s
 OneDrive offers 110 GB of storage for free.  10 GB comes with the
 computer.  Another 100 GB is available by searching with Bing.  I
 accrued the 100 credits of Bing rewards in just one week.  Now, all my
 text-based files on my computer are backed up in the cloud.  The
 OneDrive iPhone app is highly accessible.  I have been able to send
 download links to friends to download various audio files.

Thanks I'll think about this. I mostly consider it an annoyance, and I'm 
not sure it's worth asking for a replacement. The noise bleed doesn't 
bother me much. I knew what I was getting when I ordered the Bluez, and 
I wonder how much of this can be addressed, given the technology being 
used. I still consider myself a happy Bluez customer. Thanks for the tip 
though, and I'm interested to keep hearing from those who've gotten the 
Bluez 2 and how these issues have been addressed.


BTW, these are the most comfortable headphones I think I've ever used. 
I'd hate to lose that in an upgrade to a new model. Except for when I'm 
listening to music and I want the high fidelity, these are my go to 
headphones to use with the iPhone, even over wired ear buds.

Chris, you might look into upgrading. Many people who bought the Bluez 
recently were able to get a free replacement if they had problems with 
their units. For instance, if my phone is in a pocket, I can't use the 
Bluez outside because the audio is too choppy. In fact, just behind 
down will usually cause the connection to drop entirely. Plus, sound 
bleed is a huge problem. When I emailed sa...@aftershokz.com 
mailto:sa...@aftershokz.com to ask about upgrading to the upcoming 
second-generation, they offered a free replacement. If you bought your

by just adjusting where my iPhone is in relationship to my Bluez

Hi,

I am a big fan and daily user of the Aftershokz headphones. I have 
both the wired and bluetooth versions. I do not use the Aftershokz 
for music. I use Bose headphones for music. So, the Aftershokz are 
only used by me for podcast listening, audio books and text to 
speech. I had excellent success with the original Bluez model. I 
find them comfortable and for what I use them for, to me they sound 
great.


The new Bluez 2 are nicely designed with the headband smaller 
because the controls are on the right side and not in the head band 
on the back.


I like the sound of the Bluez 2 but they do have more bass and they 
vibrate my cheek bones more than the original Bluez do. I am not 
finding them quite as comfortable as the original Bluez model. They 
hurt my right ear after wearing them for an hour or more. This isn't 
terrible and I just adjust them once in awhile to ease the discomfort.


The new Bluez 2 do have speech built-in. The voice is called Audrey. 
It is a very clear voice. It tells you when the headset is in 
pairing mode and it tells you battery status. When no audio is 
playing, pressing one of the volume buttons will report battery 
status. When the battery is needing a charge, Audrey says charge 
me. This comes as a bit of a surprise when listening to spoken 
audio and suddenly hear charge me.


The volume and on/off buttons are very small and take a bit of 
searching to find them. The mini USB port is between the volume 
button and the power button.


I do like the Bluez 2 and the addition of speech is nice. I think 
speech appeared in later versions of the original Bluez but mine 
didn't have it. I think the construction of the Bluez 2 is very 
solid. I am not at all sorry that I purchased them.

Hi Andrew,

 

When I read your initial post it never occurred to me that you may have
cellular data turned off. In my opinion cellular data should always be on
because so much the iPhone can do relies on cellular data, it's a smartphone
after all and smartphones are not so smart without cellular data. You
couldn't even use SIRI without it and also iMessaging wouldn't work, either.

Hi Robert,

 

No, not with the iPhone if it is not jailbroken. If you made custom ringtones 
you could of course email them to somebody from the computer, if he or she is 
also an iPhone user they can then save them into their iTunes Media folder, add 
them to their tones library and sync them to their device. If the person is not 
an iPhone user you would have to first convert the M4R ringtone back to MP3.

RE: [New post] Get 50GB of iDrive iOS cloud storage for 99 cents per year

2014-04-27 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Kelly,

I believe Box.com gives you 100 Gb of free storage, at least I got it a while 
back although I have yet to use the service. I find Dropbox works so well and 
of course OneDrive as well that I just can't be bothered with all the others. 
Unfortunately I missed that initial OneDrive promotion because I was in the 
Philippines at the time when they gave the first 100,000 people who converted 
from Skydrive to OneDrive 100 Gb free for life. But having said this, I think 
as time goes by, cloud storage becomes more popular and storage becomes less 
expensive (which it does all the time) Microsoft will offer more storage 
especially if you are maybe an Office 365 subscriber. On the other hand, $50 
for 100 Gb of storage is actually quite inexpensive, that's about 96 Cents per 
weekor less than 14 Cents per day. Dropbox charges $9.99 a month or $99 if you 
pay for the year for the same 100 Gb, that's twice as much.

Sieghard

Dear Sieghard,

It is unfortunate that bing rewards is not available in Canada.
Hopefully this will change soon.

While the 100 GB is only for a year.  I anticipate that the reward may
be available next year.  If not, iDrive will likely be one of a string
of similar offers that provide what a few years ago would have been a
fantastical amount of off site storage.

 Hi Kelly,

 Just a bit of a clarification and comment for users outside the US. I just
 had a look at this offer and one should mention that the 100 Gb you get by
 redeeming the Bing Rewards points is for 1 year only. Maybe this is good
 marketing because some people may not notice this or think about it, then
 they fill up their 100 Gb with all sorts of stuff and one year from now they

 are told they better pay up or loose it.

 Secondly, I am in Canada and when I just tried to sign up for a Bing Rewards

 account I got a message that Bing Rewards are not yet available in my
 country. I guess I carry on with my 25 Gb I had for quite some time. This
 maybe isn't enough for thousands of pictures, but it's plenty for quite a
 lot of regular documents.

I can't see the entire thread below, so I apologize if I'm missing

can use these features on the iPod and the iPad. I'm not sure why you 
say you need cellular data for these features. I'd assume that with wifi 
and the cellular radio turned on (which you need for calls and text

iPhone, even if cellular data is turned off. BTW, you may want to turn

RE: Solution to sending text with videos and Pictures

2014-04-27 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Christopher,

 

I guess our opinions here differ. The iPhone does an excellent job of always
using WiFi if you are connected to your WiFi anyways. I am not sure if you
actually save battery by turning cellular data off, maybe a bit, but if I am
at work and I have to leave for a while to maybe go to the bank, grab some
lunch or meet somebody, I really couldn't be bothered to unlock my phone, go
to Settings and Cellular and turn it on because now I'm not on WiFi and
maybe I received a text message which I want to reply to with SIRI or I need
to check my email etc.

That's the same as turning WiFi off when I'm not at home or at work, I also
don't usually do that unless I am travelling and I know I'm not going to be
on WiFi all day and that's actually even easier because I can just tell SIRI
to turn it on or off.

SIRI can also turn cellular data on or off, but of course if it's off and
I'm not on WiFi anymore then I have to do it manually because SIRI of course
won't work.

It really comes down to a convenience thing and I don't mind recharging my
iPhone every night which means I don't have to turn off everything to save
another 3% battery here or 5% there.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

these features on the iPod and the iPad. I'm not sure why you say you need

radio turned on (which you need for calls and text messaging) that you'd be
able to do pretty much everything on your iPhone, even if cellular data is
turned off. BTW, you may want to turn off cellular data if you're getting
close to your monthly limit, at least you might want to start being more
judicious about it's use.

RE: Why siri can't make a call?

2014-04-27 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Grace,

That happens from time to time and there really isn't much you can do except
try later. I guess you could try to turn your phone off completely and back
on and see if that helps as sometimes it does. I must say that since iOS 7
came out last fall I only had SIRI tell me this only 2 or 3 times and most
of the time if I try a second time just a few seconds later it's fine. But I
do have a feeling SIRI may work just fine for me and not for you as it
depends on which servers handle your request.

Sieghard

Transfering documents from one app to another app

2014-04-27 Thread Lori Dent
Hi all,

I have a few questions about transfering documents from one app to another app. 
Okay  when I  want to transfer documents  from the prizmo app to the drop box 
app how do I go about doing it? Is it best to transfer documents from Prizmo to 
another app like dropbox?

Also the documents I want to transfer  are Lionss member addresses, email 
addresses,and phone numbers ect. These Lions member addresses are in three 
seperat documents, and I want to put all three Lions member addresses in one 
folder. So once I transfer the documents over to dropbox, how do I create a 
folder for my documents? 

I still haven't mastered how to use dropbox and I want to learn. Any 
suggestions and help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Re: An iDrive question about backups

2014-04-27 Thread Sherrie
Actually, I have been working with this a lot and I think it is so worth it.  
On my iphone it backed up my calendar, contacts, photos and videos.  Not such a 
big deal but I was able to access the calendar from my PC and copy the list.  
And the items showed up as a list of just the calendar entries and not all the 
empty days.  I have not been able to access the iCloud backup of the calendar 
so this was a biggie for me.  I don’t have Outlook which I understand a lot of 
people use to sync calendars.
It has taken some work and a learning curve but files are being uploaded from 
my computer and I was able to access them online.  They are not all there yet 
since the original upload is huge.  
It chooses basic folders for you at first but you can exclude files or folders.
I have Carbonite and am very unhappy with it as it does not back up my videos.  
My home videos are my most precious files and when I first got Carbonite I had 
to go in and add each individual video to the list.  So I thought they were 
backed up.  But now I find they are not.  And I paid for the $99/year plan.
I think the iDrive will back up enough  of my important files that I will 
cancel Carbonite when it runs out.  And the $.99 price is for every year, not 
just one year according to the sources I read.
Using the app itself is a bit problematic, but I have had success using the 
Jaws cursor.
And I think that the Sync folder that holds another 50 GB of stuff should 
really make a difference.  I am trying to put different files in there rather 
than the ones the regular backup does so as to not duplicate.  The Sync folder 
is a regular folder like Dropbox, I think.  I will have to wait to see what 
gets uploaded from there.
There are lots of help FAQ’s on the website and I have been reading through 
them.
And, really, at 99 cents a year how can one go wrong?

Re: Solution to sending text with videos and Pictures

2014-04-27 Thread Christopher J Chaltain
I agree, and I don't personally turn my cellular data on or off. I'm all 
about convenience myself. I'm fortunate to have a unlimited data plan 
though. My children, who don't have unlimited plans, turn off their 
cellular data, or should, when they're getting close to their limits. 
The only time I've turned cellular data off myself, is when I'm 
traveling abroad, and I want to use my cell phone, but I don't want to 
run up large international data charges. Fortunately, since wifi is so 
ubiquitous, using an iPhone without cellular data can still be pretty 
effective, just as using an iPod or an iPad can be.


I doubt turning cellular data off saves much battery life, since you're 
still using your cellular radio for texting and phone calls. I imagine 
turning it off is more to save on data charges as opposed to battery usage.



On 4/27/2014 11:52 AM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote:


Hi Christopher,

I guess our opinions here differ. The iPhone does an excellent job of 
always using WiFi if you are connected to your WiFi anyways. I am not 
sure if you actually save battery by turning cellular data off, maybe 
a bit, but if I am at work and I have to leave for a while to maybe go 
to the bank, grab some lunch or meet somebody, I really couldn't be 
bothered to unlock my phone, go to Settings and Cellular and turn it 
on because now I'm not on WiFi and maybe I received a text message 
which I want to reply to with SIRI or I need to check my email etc.


That's the same as turning WiFi off when I'm not at home or at work, I 
also don't usually do that unless I am travelling and I know I'm not 
going to be on WiFi all day and that's actually even easier because I 
can just tell SIRI to turn it on or off.


SIRI can also turn cellular data on or off, but of course if it's off 
and I'm not on WiFi anymore then I have to do it manually because SIRI 
of course won't work.


It really comes down to a convenience thing and I don't mind 
recharging my iPhone every night which means I don't have to turn off 
everything to save another 3% battery here or 5% there.

I can't see the entire thread below, so I apologize if I'm missing 
anything, but the iPhone is plenty usable even with cellular data 
turned off. For example, you can use SIRI and iMessaging over wifi, 
just as you can use these features on the iPod and the iPad. I'm not 
sure why you say you need cellular data for these features. I'd assume 
that with wifi and the cellular radio turned on (which you need for 
calls and text messaging) that you'd be able to do pretty much 
everything on your iPhone, even if cellular data is turned off. BTW, 
you may want to turn off cellular data if you're getting close to your

Dear Sieghard,

It is unfortunate that bing rewards is not available in Canada.
Hopefully this will change soon.

While the 100 GB is only for a year.  I anticipate that the reward may
be available next year.  If not, iDrive will likely be one of a string
of similar offers that provide what a few years ago would have been a
fantastical amount of off site storage.

Hi Kelly,

Just a bit of a clarification and comment for users outside the US. I just
had a look at this offer and one should mention that the 100 Gb you get by
redeeming the Bing Rewards points is for 1 year only. Maybe this is good
marketing because some people may not notice this or think about it, then
they fill up their 100 Gb with all sorts of stuff and one year from now 
they


are told they better pay up or loose it.

Secondly, I am in Canada and when I just tried to sign up for a Bing 
Rewards


account I got a message that Bing Rewards are not yet available in my
country. I guess I carry on with my 25 Gb I had for quite some time. This
maybe isn't enough for thousands of pictures, but it's plenty for quite a
lot of regular documents.

Another deal will be great for windows 8.1 users.  Microsoft’s
OneDrive offers 110 GB of storage for free.  10 GB comes with the
computer.  Another 100 GB is available by searching with Bing.  I
accrued the 100 credits of Bing rewards in just one week.  Now, all my

The new ones seem to be a little more sturdily constructed. The controls

The audio quality is much improved. They say that the bluetooth antenna

Robert,

When going through the FAQs on the Aftershokz site, in reference to the

configurable, but it didn't say how to configure it. Also, I was unable to 
find a user guide for the Bluez 2. Perhaps this is because they are so new. 
Do you know anything about how the spoken output can be configured? Also,

tells you battery status. When no audio is playing, pressing one of the 
volume buttons will report battery status. When the battery is needing a 
charge, Audrey says charge me. This comes as a bit of a surprise when 
listening to spoken audio and suddenly hear charge me.


The volume and on/off buttons are very small and take a bit of searching to

In the Bluez 2, the bluetooth antenna was moved forward. This should help to

I have the original Bluez, which I just purchased a few months ago. I
agree with the assessment below. I do have speech on my Bluez, so
apparently this feature was added to the original Bluez at some point.
The only minor nuisance I have with the Bluez  is that the bluetooth
reception will sometimes get flaky. I can usually fix this by just
adjusting where my iPhone is in relationship to my Bluez headphones. I
think it was David who explained how the bluetooth reception can be
effected by the water in your body. Hopefully this has been addressed in
the Bluez 2. I can't wait to check out the Bluez 2, but I'll be happily
using the original Bluez for a little while yet.

Chris, you might look into upgrading. Many people who bought the Bluez recently 
were able to get a free replacement if they had problems with their units. For 
instance, if my phone is in a pocket, I can't use the Bluez outside because the 
audio is too choppy. In fact, just behind down will usually cause the 
connection to drop entirely. Plus, sound bleed is a huge problem. When I 
emailed sa...@aftershokz.com to ask about upgrading to the upcoming 
second-generation, they offered a free replacement. If you bought your Bluez 
recently, you may want to try the same thing.

If you have Windows 8.1, there is a folder named OneDrive that

If you don’t have Windows 8.1, you need to download and install free

 Dear Sieghard,

 It is unfortunate that bing rewards is not available in Canada.
 Hopefully this will change soon.

 While the 100 GB is only for a year.  I anticipate that the reward may
 be available next year.  If not, iDrive will likely be one of a string

 Hi Kelly,

 Just a bit of a clarification and comment for users outside the US. I
 just
 had a look at this offer and one should mention that the 100 Gb you get
 by
 redeeming the Bing Rewards points is for 1 year only. Maybe this is good
 marketing because some people may not notice this or think about it, then
 they fill up their 100 Gb with all sorts of stuff and one year from now
 they

 are told they better pay up or loose it.

 Secondly, I am in Canada and when I just tried to sign up for a Bing
 Rewards

 account I got a message that Bing Rewards are not yet available in my
 country. I guess I carry on with my 25 Gb I had for quite some time. This
 maybe isn't enough for thousands of pictures, but it's plenty for quite a
 lot of regular documents.

What type of Braille display are you using?

IF you are using the Focus 14/40/80 Blue with your iPhone running iOS 5 or
later, you can use the right rocker bar to perform the horizontal page

fingers off of the display to perform the dots 135-chord (dots 135 plus

Has anyone got experience with this? Can you go quickly to the table of

up or down pages in ibooks with the braille display?
I see the page slider but than can only seem to change it via the
touchscreen. Sicne pages seem to be fairly small this does not work all that
quickly.
I know you can read quicker with sliding 2 fingers down from the top but was
wondering if/how you can do this with the braille display?
Thanks for any info,

Hello,

Maybe somehow the offline mode got switched on.

Go to settings and uncheck the appropriate checkbox.

I'm honestly not sure how accessible it is now on iOS as I moved over to

Therefore, I wish you good luck.

RE: Why siri can't make a call?

2014-04-27 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Rena,

Generally speaking, Siri is unavailable during Apple server maintenance or
updates.  Again, generally speaking, the outages don't last very long
although I suppose it depends on one's perspective.  

On occasion, after the maintenance has been completed, your copy of Siri
will not be logged back into the system correctly.  


Therefore, if you want to make certain that you are connected to the Siri
servers after any outages and you feel you have waited an appropriate amount
of time, for example two hours or so, do the following:

1.
From the Launch Pad, select Settings.

2.
Select General.

3.
Select Siri.

4.
Double-Tap the Siri On button.

5.
Double Tap the resulting Disable Siri button.  This will log you out of
the system.

6.
Double-Tap the Siri Off button.  You will be prompted to confirm that you
want to activate Siri.

7.
Finally, try using Siri.  If everything is back up and running on the
back-end of the system, you will be back in business.

Good Luck,

Mark

Re: new aftershotz blues2

2014-04-27 Thread ROBERT CARTER
Hi Andy,

I contacted Aftershokz and they said that the online documentation was not yet 
ready. I do not know anything about how to configure the speech.

For people who are having drop-out issues, I always carry my phone in my left 
front jeans pocket and don't have any drop-out with either the Bluez or Bluez 2.

Also, if you are looking for a fabulous bluetooth headphone for music, I love 
the Bose AE2W over the ear headphones. They sound wonderful at least to me. 
Headphones are very subjective. It is always better to listen before buying if 
you can.

 Robert,
 
 When going through the FAQs on the Aftershokz site, in reference to the Bluez 
 2, it was said that the amount of spoken feedback you can get is 
 configurable, but it didn't say how to configure it. Also, I was unable to 
 find a user guide for the Bluez 2. Perhaps this is because they are so new. 
 Do you know anything about how the spoken output can be configured? Also, 
 with the original Bluez, the battery charge status was on the status bar on 
 the iPhone. I do not see it with the Bluez 2.

 Hi,
 
 I am a big fan and daily user of the Aftershokz headphones. I have both the 
 wired and bluetooth versions. I do not use the Aftershokz for music. I use 
 Bose headphones for music. So, the Aftershokz are only used by me for podcast 
 listening, audio books and text to speech. I had excellent success with the 
 original Bluez model. I find them comfortable and for what I use them for, to 
 me they sound great.
 
 The new Bluez 2 are nicely designed with the headband smaller because the 
 controls are on the right side and not in the head band on the back.
 
 I like the sound of the Bluez 2 but they do have more bass and they vibrate 
 my cheek bones more than the original Bluez do. I am not finding them quite 
 as comfortable as the original Bluez model. They hurt my right ear after 
 wearing them for an hour or more. This isn't terrible and I just adjust them 
 once in awhile to ease the discomfort.
 
 The new Bluez 2 do have speech built-in. The voice is called Audrey. It is a 
 very clear voice. It tells you when the headset is in pairing mode and it 
 tells you battery status. When no audio is playing, pressing one of the 
 volume buttons will report battery status. When the battery is needing a 
 charge, Audrey says charge me. This comes as a bit of a surprise when 
 listening to spoken audio and suddenly hear charge me.
 
 The volume and on/off buttons are very small and take a bit of searching to 
 find them. The mini USB port is between the volume button and the power 
 button.
 
 I do like the Bluez 2 and the addition of speech is nice. I think speech 
 appeared in later versions of the original Bluez but mine didn't have it. I 
 think the construction of the Bluez 2 is very solid. I am not at all sorry 
 that I purchased them.

2014-04-27 Thread Jennie Facer
Which note program would you recommend to read Anna Dresner's book? I bought 
it, and now I  want  to refresh myself on a couple of things. I am wondering if 
anyone can sugest the best reading tool? I tried AccessNote but I can't seem to 
figure out how to search long documents with a Braille display. I tried turning 
grade 2 off and pressing f  plus dot 8, and that didn't work. 

Thank you so much!

Re: Searching long documents

2014-04-27 Thread Teresa Cochran
This is a really unorthodox approach, but I find it works best for keeping my 
place in a long document in iOS. I turn a brf or brl document into pdf, which 
doesn't destroy it or change the formatting at all. You can use any word 
processor that saves or exports to pdf. Then I open the document in iBooks and 
turn Braille translation off. this all assumes you have a braille display.

If you don't have a braille display, and you want to read a translated Braille 
file (I assume this book is in that format) then you won't be able to read it 
with speech in iOS. You would have to back-translate the file with Kurzweil, 
NFBTrans, or some other specialized software that will do this on your computer.

Is the book available in other formats besides Braille?

Hth,

transfering from one app to another

Hi all,

I have a few questions.I'm scanning some documents and other information I 
need.After I scan my information and documents I want to keep because I will 
need them. What I  want to know is should I transfer all my inportant documents 
 from Prizmo over to my dropbox? And if so, how do I transfer my documents from 
Prizmo over to dropbox? 

Also, will dropbox read all my documents? Also, if I have more than one 
document   lets say for example Lions members contact information  including 
addresses, emails, and phone numbers and any other info, how can I make up a 
folder so I can put all my Lions members addresses and other info into that 
folder and name it?

Or  can I just leave my documents in my Prizmo app? Any  help would be very 
much appreciated. Thanks.

google voice and notifications

Hey guys,
Hoping someone can help.  I use google voice text messaging with a 
aprticular group that i am with.  Because we rely on it, is there any 
way i can set a custom notification for when i get a google voice  text 
message?  Furthermore, is there an app that will support this?
I'd like to have this option, so it plays a unique sound that'll help me 
get to it quicker.


Thanks,

three apps questions, Schwan's and VizWiz and Contacts

2014-04-27 Thread Vicky Collins
First, has anyone tried to update the Schwan's Frozen Food app 
from version 1.0.5 to 1.0.6? When I did so earlier today and then 
launched the app, it would just sit there and do nothing.  Or, 
having no sighted folks around, that is how it appeared to me.  
And, no matter what I tried, even with turning VoiceOver off and 
trying to tap the screen, I couldn't get the app to do a thing.


Second, when I then did the restore from iCloud, I was quite 
pleased to find that the version 1.0.5 of the Schwan's app did 
indeed get restored and did work, at least as well as the app did 
before, anyway.  But, I was told that some things couldn't be 
restored from my iCloud backup.  And, I finally figured out that 
the missing app was VizWiz.  Then, upon further checking, I 
couldn't seem to find VizWiz in the app store, either.  
Fortunately, I never actually used the app, but was wondering if 
it still works for others, or is it gone completely?


And, finally, third, what with VizWiz being gone, at least on my 
iPhone 4s, I had a blank space at the end of my second page of 
apps, something I would prefer to have at the end of my last 
page.  So, I started trying to move apps around and messed things 
up quite nicely, so decided to go into settings and put the home 
screen back to its default layout.  And, much to my surprise, 
having restored from backups for years now, I found contacts to 
be in an extras folder, rather than an app out by itself.  Is 
this really the default for this app? I mean, I somehow thought 
it would be more prominently displayed.

Re: Searching long documents

2014-04-27 Thread Gmail
Can NFBTrans translate BRF files into any other format besides TXT? Also, is 
there a batch translation option? I used a program called WinTrans, and I liked 
it okay, but I had to do files one by one, and you could only translate to the 
TXT format. Now that my book sense is no longer working, I'm looking into 
translating all of my BRF files into some format other than TXT, hopefully, and 
then dumping them all into Voice Dream Reader.


Thanks,

creating a folder in Prizmo and transfering documents

2014-04-27 Thread Lori Dent
Hi all,

I have a couple of questions.Is there a way to create a folder in Prizmo to put 
several documentsI created in fact, there's eight documents named constitution 
and bylaws for my Society of the blind group (8 pages) that I want to put in 
one folder.So can I create a folder in Prizmo or not?

Also, when  I get done scanning my documents I want to scan and turn them into 
text and name the text, should I transfer everything I scan and turn into text 
and transfer them from prizmo to another app like dropbox? If so, how do I go 
about transfering the documents over from prizmo to dropbox? Any help would be 
very much appreciated. Thanks.

RE: three apps questions, Schwan's and VizWiz and Contacts

2014-04-27 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Vicky,

If I run into a situation when after an app update the app seems to not work
correctly I always make sure to remove all apps from the app switcher and
then to power off the phone, wait 30 or so seconds and then turn it on
again. If that doesn't help it's probably not a bad idea to delete the app
and to redownload it in order to make sure nothing went wrong with the
update. If the app still has accessibility issues or just doesn't seem to
run, then it's pretty safe to say that indeed the update has broken
something and it's time to restore a previous version and to maybe contact
the developer.

As for restoring a previous version, if you sync your apps with iTunes it is
not necessary to to a complete restore from iCloud. All you have to do is
make sure you don't update the app in iTunes so that you have the last
version there which you know works, then delete the app from the phone and
then resync it from iTunes.

As for Vizwiz, yes, it is gone at least from the Canadian app store. I
searched for Vizwiz on iTunes with Google and found the app store link no
problem. When I clicked on it Internet Explorer asked me if I would allow it
to open a program on my computer by which it meant iTunes. I allowed it and
when iTunes opened I got a message that VizWiz was no longer available in
the Canadian app store. I only had the option to click OK, sometimes I have
seen messages that a particular app was not available from the Canadian app
store, but was available from a different app store, but not this time.

Well, I guess at this point that is no great loss since everytime I tried
Vizwiz in the last few months it took forever for an answer to come back,
often 3 to 4 hours and sometimes not until the next day. Because of this I
hadn't used it in a long time and didn't even have it on my phone any more.
Let's hope Tap Tap See will be able to include the ability to ask a question
along with the picture in some future update, but even without this I find
that Camfind, Talking Goggles and Tap Tap See often give me what I want. If
not my Ask Mom app works awesomely *smile*. OK, before a dozen people ask
where they can find the Ask Mom app it doesn't exist. It is just my way of
saying that calling my Mom (or another friend or relative for that matter)
with Facetime and asking them to take a look at whatever it is I am trying
to identify or do is often the best way to get a great answer.

As for your third question about Contacts, yes, that is the default. I
personally find I rarely use the actual Contact app because I can just as
easily get to my contacts by going into the Phone or Facetime app and
tapping on the Contacts tab. I have Contacts in a folder I called Utilities
on my second home page and if I really want it, I just turn the rotor to
handwriting and write a C and O on the screen, I then get Compass as
the first result and a quick 2-finger swipe down puts me on Contacts.

Best regards,
Sieghard

RE: transfering from one app to another

2014-04-27 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Lori,

 

You can very easily send Prizmo documents to Dropbox. Just double tap on the
document and select Export. You are presented with a menu which includes
the following:

 

Send by mail

Send message

Open In

 

Select Open In. prizmo now asks you to choose an export format, select the
one you want, e.g. Prizmo document, text, PDF etc. If you scanned a business
card, it may also give you the option to export as a VCard.

 

After you make your selection you get a menu where you can choose where you
want to export to. This usually includes Airdrop (if you have an Airdrop
capable device) and if you have Dropbox installed, one option will be to
Open in Dropbox. Select this and you will then get a screen where you can
edit the file name if you wish and you have the Save Location which is
Dropbox. Double tap on Dropbox and you see a listing of all your Dropbox
folders.

At the bottom is a Create Folder button which let's you create a new
folder if you wish. You can also double tap an existing folder and when it
opens you can create a new subfolder in it by once again using the Create
Folder button.

Once you are in the folder you want, double tap on the Choosebutton at the
bottom right to select it. If you now check the Save Location it will not
say Dropbox any more, but announce whichever folder you selected.

Now double tap on Save at the top left of the screen and your document
will be saved in that folder.

Note that you are now in the Dropbox app and no longer in the Prizmo app,
you can bring up the app switcher to return to the Prizmo app and you'll be
back in your document so use the Documents button at the top left to go
back to the main Prizmo page.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

RE: Just got the iPhone 5s with ATT and on the next plane and had a question

2014-04-27 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
For $140 a month it better be included! In my opinion these early upgrade
plans are quite a rip-off, sorry Joseph, but that's just my opinion. If you
do the math you would find that if you were to get whatever best deal you
can get and if you then were to put the money you save aside that after one
year you could nicely buy your next iPhone outright.

Re: transfering from one app to another

2014-04-27 Thread Lori Dent
Hi Sieghard,

Thank you for responding back to me and answering my question and explaining 
how I can transfer documents from Prizmo to dropbox and how to creat afolder to 
put my documents in. 

Now dropbox will read my documents when I go into the folder I created and to 
the document I want  to view right?

I will try transfering my documents   tomorrow and I will let you know how I 
got along with it. Take care.

Lori and theGipper

Help with working with a document in pages thank you

2014-04-27 Thread Lea Langley
Hi all, I have just started using the app Pages. I edit my document in MBraille 
and then pasted into pages. I don't understand how to read it though or how to 
move around in the document. It is my journal and is very long. I can't 
understand how to go from page to page or how to move around and reading the 
document. For example when I get to page 17 of the document which is my last 
page, I find three places that say canvas in the each give me a page such as 
page 17 of 17 and so on. Each one of them has a different set of pages. How do 
I number one know which page I am on, get to the page I want to, get to the end 
of the document so I can paste something else in, and I think that is it for 
now. I want to thank whoever takes on this task of helping me. I would very 
much appreciate the help, because I surely do not understand Pages at all. I 
like the app though and I think once I understand it I will be okay with it. I 
love the idea of being able to use MBraille to write, edit, and paste my 
document into pages. God bless, Wren Langley and thank you again for the help.
