There's a setting in the VoiceOver settings to turn hints on or off. Go to 
settings/general/accessibility/VoiceOver, and you'll find it there. You can 
also add the hints option to your rotor so that you can turn them on and off 
quickly. Some apps use the hints feature to give VoiceOver users information. 
For example, I turn hints on when playing Hanging with Friends to find out how 
many strikes I have left.


Thanks,
Ari

Re: extention converter

You can also just tell iTunes that certain MP3 files are audiobooks. You do 
this in the get info dialogue, on the options tab after selecting all the MP3 
files of a book. There are two other useful options on this screen, as well. 
The first is skip when shuffling, which will tell your music app to skip those 
tracks when shuffling your music library. The second option is remember 
playback position, which will tell the app to remember your playback position 
in each file.


Thanks,
Ari

Re: Fleksy Now Fully Accessible

Hi Alan,
Try doing your swiping in the lower part of the screen with the keyboard 
actually is. If you do not swipe on the keyboard, nothing seems to happen.

RE: Fleksy Now Fully Accessible

Actually, when I attempt to type anything with the new app, nothing is
announced when I swipe right after completing the word. Does this also work
differently now? I get no predictive text announced but only a boink sound
that seems like an error. Swiping left to erase the text doesn't work
either. It pretty much is not functioning for me.

 

If you're getting different results, I'd love to know what you're doing
because I'm unable to get it to work at all.

Sorry for the misleading subject. You can send a message though; type your
text, hit the "share" button, and choose "message". The manual referencing a
function not currently present has nothing to do with accessibility, the way
I see it. Again, the Fleksy VO app will not be updated, but neither will it

Exactly. Applevis has a blog detailing known bugs and updated features that

this appears to be nothing more than a not ready for prime time app. Whether
the menus are accessed from a menu line as opposed to the former two-finger
swipe up isn't really the issue. The app simply doesn't work so releasing a
message with the subject line of Fleksy Now Fully Accessible is more than a
little misleading. And the documentation still has the reference about
accessing the menu using the two-finger swipe up. I think it's clear why
they seem to be a few months ahead of when they thought the product would be
ready because it's not. I truly hope they will leave Fleksy VO untouched and
available until they come up with a product that meets their keyboard
integration needs and does so with VoiceOver running.

Exactly. Applevis has a blog detailing known bugs and updated features that
you should check out. Plus, their own blog said there were some things they
were still working on. No, the copy and clear and other options are not yet
there, that's part of the problem in this version. The sharing and settings
options are, though.

Guys, the updated app has just been released, and the team have not had
enough time to update the documentation. Give them time. The two-finger
flick up no longer works to bring up the menu.

I agree... This version of Fleksy doesn't play with voice over very well. It
is also sluggish and the accuracy seems to have decreased. 

I prefer to lock Fleksy VO in landscape position so I can use my thumbs to
type, but I cannot find this option in the newer update. 

It seems that the people at Fleksy have forgotten their original mission...
To bring a accessible keyboard to the visually impaired. As of late they
have changed their focus to supplying a keyboard to the masses. Too bad. 

I will continue to use Fleksy VO until my iPhone will no longer work with
it, then I guess I'll go back to dictation.

Well, I'd be curious what others are finding with this latest version of
Fleksy because I'm certainly not finding it fully accessible. I've left the
Fleksy keyboard app on my phone and have been updating it each time a new
version has been released. I couldn't type with those versions with
VoiceOver going and I also can't with this latest version. I'm having to
type this message using Fleksy VO. When I upgraded and launched this latest
Fleksy keyboard version, the text from the last thing I had written with it
was on the screen and I was unable to delete it or to get to the Fleksy menu
normally accessed by swiping up with two fingers. The app still appears to
have bugs for those of us using VoiceOver but I'm curious if others are
having the problems I am. I will be reporting them to Fleksy support.

Moving forward, Fleksy VO will be discontinued. It was only ever meant to be

Hi all,

Sorry if this is a repeat post, but earlier today, Fleksy announced that
their main app is accessible. There are still some VO issues they are
working on, but they say that, overall, VO users can use the regular app and
not need Fleksy VO anymore. This is way ahead of their projected six month
deadline, so good for them for getting this done so quickly. Best of all,
the accessibility carries over to their SDK, so apps that incorporate Fleksy
will have accessible typing as well, once they update to the latest version.
Of course, apps that come onboard after today will already have the
accessibility.

Hi,

Find the button that says Voice Message at the bottom right of the
screen. You can do a 4-finger tap to go to the last element of the
screen and Voiceover will land right on the button or if you find
the text field swipe right once.

Once Voiceover focus is on that button you have to do a double tap
and hold. You will hear a sound and you can then talk. The important
thing is that Whats App acts like an old 2-way radio which means you
have to keep holding your finger on the screen as long as you want
to record. Once you are done lift your finger and recording will
stop and your message will automatically be sent. Listen to a little
plonk sound, it indicates your message was sent successfully.

Once again, double tap and hold your finger on the screen as long as
you are speaking, then lift to stop and send the message.

RE: Voice messages with whatsapp

Can you explain exactly what you are doing? I suspect that your focus is in
the text field and you are doing a 2-finger double tap which will start
dictation as it should.

You have to flick right once past the text field to the Voice Message
button, then double tap and hold with one finger. It's important that you
continue to hold your finger on the screen after you double tap and this is
when you can record your message. As soon as you lift your finger off the
screen recording stops and your message is sent. This definitely works and
it does work on an iPhone 4S just as good as it does on a 5, 5C or 5S.

Hey guys,
OK, here's your voice message issue.  I use this app all the time  You 
know how to select a contact, right?
Go to your text field.  Flick to the right of that.  It will say voice 
message.
Do a double tap and hold it.  You have to do it as a momentary thing. 
So do a double tap, when you hear a tone, hold the button, and talk. 
When you're done, then release.

Very simple.  If you need any help let me know.

Re: extention converter

2014-04-29 Thread Robert Doc Wright

I have a question.  Why do you wish to convert an audio file to a video 
file?

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

Re: Fleksy Now Fully Accessible

Exactly. Applevis has a blog detailing known bugs and updated features that you 
should check out. Plus, their own blog said there were some things they were 
still working on. No, the copy and clear and other options are not yet there, 
that's part of the problem in this version. The sharing and settings options 
are, though.

Re: Voice Over during screen lock

2014-04-29 Thread Christopher J Chaltain

I started noticing this behavior on my 4S after the upgrade to 7.1. I 
generally only notice it after the last digit, probably because the 
earlier digits are entered more quickly. I never considered it an 
"issue" though. I just figured it now provided this additional 
information, but it never bothered me.

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

2014-04-29 Thread Christopher J Chaltain

I agree, if you just want to backup one system then going with another 
external hard drive or two is perfectly adequate. The advantage to a 
cloud based backup is that you can then have access to your backed up 
files from multiple devices. Chances are, the cloud provider is also 
going to be using some more sophisticated technologies to backup your 
data and store it in multiple redundant places. It's more likely that 
your external hard drive will have a problem when you go to restore from 
it than a cloud provider won't be able to toss up your data upon request.


For me personally, I do use an external drive to backup most of what's 
on my hard drive, including things like applications, documents and 
books I've downloaded from the internet. I also use a cloud provider, 
Ubuntu One from Canonical, in my case to have the folders and files I 
update most frequently backed up in the cloud and accessible from 
multiple devices. These files get synced in the cloud every time I 
update them, which is more frequently than I kick off a backup to my 
external drive. This also means my most accessed files are available 
from everywhere. This has come in handy when I needed a piece of data at 
the doctor's office or the bank, and all I had to do was bring up a file 
that had been synced to the cloud from my PC.


Unfortunately, Ubuntu One is going away in a few months, and I need to 
find another cloud provider that's got all of the features I've come to 
depend on in Ubuntu One.

Some questions about CloudBeats.

My friend and I are both having some frustrations with the CloudBeats app, and 
have some questions about it.
1. Is there a way ! rewind and fast forward in the app like you can in the 
stock music app? If so, how would I go about turning this on?
2. Is there a way to shuffle your intire music collection in Dropbox, rather 
than just one album or folder?
3. After double-tapping on the "Folder Options" button, I can't get out of the 
screen which pops up without closing the app entirely. How do I get out of this 
screen? I don't see a cancel button anywhere.
4. There are neither letter headings nor a table index for scrolling through 
items in the app. Is there a way to contact the developer to request this 
feature? If we contact the developer about this, what would be a good way of 
explaining this? Are the letter headings and table index features specific to 
VoiceOver?
5. Will CloudBeats check your Dropbox for new content upon launching? Is there 
a way to tell it that new content has been added?
6. My friend deleted and reinstalled the app, but she keeps getting the 
message, "Updating media library." Not all her music is showing up in the app, 
and the "Updating media library message has been on the screen for quite some 
time without anything updating passed the little music that the app has gotten 
from Dropbox.

If anyone can answer any of these questions, I would be most appreciative.


Thanks,
Ari

Do you have a cassette deck in that car?

If so, you may still be able to find a cassette adapter that has a 3.5 m
plug for the earphone jack on your device that plays through the cassette
deck.

I'd be very surprised if anyone is still making the FM transmitter.

Good luck.

When I tried using the menus across the top of the screen as you said, the

First, the menu isn't accessed that way. Instead, there are buttons across the

Second, note that the keyboard now takes up the lower part of the screen, just 
like it does in regular iOS typing. I'm wondering if your accuracy problems are

The problems I've found are that you cannot review your text, at least not that

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

2014-04-29 Thread Rick Alfaro

I don’t think it’s a switch to as far as I know. Not sure about what can be 
backed up yet but I’m hoping I’ll be able to sync my documents folder on my PC 
at least. I have to install the Windows app which I haven’t gotten around to 
yet.

Did I understand correcttly that this offer on iDrive is continuous? I saw it 
would backup pictures and music. Is that all it will backup, and can I still 
backup to iTunes and iCloud or is it a switch to? Thanks.

Yeah, be careful with this service. Quirky interface is one thing, but 
mysterious charges beyond the $0.99 is quite another.

[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Cloud-storage provider iDrive has extended this 
appealing deal to owners of iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches," Rick Broida 
reports for CNET. "You have to be a new iDrive customer, but otherwise the deal 
is exactly as good as it sounds: 50GB of cloud storage for an impossibly low 99 
cents per year."

"When iDrive first told me about this, I was sure it meant 99 cents for the 
first year, then a more typical $50 to $100 each year after that. But a company 
rep told me in no uncertain terms: 'It will be the same [99 cents] a year from 
now. [This is not] a first-year discount or limited-time offer,'" Broida 
reports. "To get it, you need one of the aforementioned iOS devices on which to 
install the iDrive app and sign up for an account. (Never mind the in-app 
purchase options shown in the App Store; you should see the 99-cent deal once 
you swipe through the getting-started screens.)"

More info via Apple's iTunes App Store:  

 iDrive (Online Backup) - Pro Softnet Corp

Broida reports, "By the way, although you need an iOS (or Android) device to 
take advantage of this offer, once you have your iDrive account, you can use it 
across all platforms: Windows, Windows Phone, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS."

Re: Fleksy Now Fully Accessible

I agree... This version of Fleksy doesn't play with voice over very well. It is 
also sluggish and the accuracy seems to have decreased. 
I prefer to lock Fleksy VO in landscape position so I can use my thumbs to 
type, but I cannot find this option in the newer update. 
It seems that the people at Fleksy have forgotten their original mission... To 
bring a accessible keyboard to the visually impaired. As of late they have 
changed their focus to supplying a keyboard to the masses. Too bad. 
I will continue to use Fleksy VO until my iPhone will no longer work with it, 
then I guess I'll go back to dictation.

Re: USB FM transmitter that plugs into a car radio

2014-04-29 Thread Christina C.

Do you have any ports at all on your car stereo? Like to hook up a DVD Player, 
CD Player, or VCR?

I personally would not rule out trying a FM transmitter. Sometimes, but not 
often, they work great. I recently had very good experience with a universal fm 
transmitter from Best Buy. We used it on a road trip and the only time we got 
static was when we drove into an area where that particular station was being 
used. This FM transmitter had a "smart scan" button on it and we would just 
push that button and it would search for a clearer station to use. This FM 
transmitter wasn't cheap though. I think it was around $40 give or take a 
little. If you do try one, check out the return policy before you buy. I will 
say that I had sighted assistance. On this particular model, there must have 
been a screen that would tell you which station to set your stereo to. I am so 
sorry but I do not know what brand or anything about this fm transmitter we 
tried. I can tell you that it was universal, not for the iPhone only, had a 
smart scan button and was powered via USB and allows you to charge your device 
at the same time. I have also heard that some automobiles and it's antenna have 
a lot more to do with the success of an FM transmitter. than the transmitter 
itself. I don't know if that's true though.

Re: Fleksy Now Fully Accessible

Well, I'd be curious what others are finding with this latest version of Fleksy 
because I'm certainly not finding it fully accessible. I've left the Fleksy 
keyboard app on my phone and have been updating it each time a new version has 
been released. I couldn't type with those versions with VoiceOver going and I 
also can't with this latest version. I'm having to type this message using 
Fleksy VO. When I upgraded and launched this latest Fleksy keyboard version, 
the text from the last thing I had written with it was on the screen and I was 
unable to delete it or to get to the Fleksy menu normally accessed by swiping 
up with two fingers. The app still appears to have bugs for those of us using 
VoiceOver but I'm curious if others are having the problems I am. I will be 
reporting them to Fleksy support.

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

Did I understand correcttly that this offer on iDrive is continuous? I saw it 
would backup pictures and music. Is that all it will backup, and can I still 
backup to iTunes and iCloud or is it a switch to? Thanks.

Yeah, be careful with this service. Quirky interface is one thing, but

Get 50GB of iDrive iOS cloud storage for 99 cents per year
by MacDailyNews
[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Cloud-storage provider iDrive has extended this 
appealing deal to owners of iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches," Rick Broida 
reports for CNET. "You have to be a new iDrive customer, but otherwise the deal 
is exactly as good as it sounds: 50GB of cloud storage for an impossibly low 99 
cents per year."

"When iDrive first told me about this, I was sure it meant 99 cents for the 
first year, then a more typical $50 to $100 each year after that. But a company 
rep told me in no uncertain terms: 'It will be the same [99 cents] a year from 
now. [This is not] a first-year discount or limited-time offer,'" Broida 
reports. "To get it, you need one of the aforementioned iOS devices on which to 
install the iDrive app and sign up for an account. (Never mind the in-app 
purchase options shown in the App Store; you should see the 99-cent deal once 
you swipe through the getting-started screens.)"

More info via Apple's iTunes App Store: iDrive (Online Backup) - Pro Softnet 
Corp

Broida reports, "By the way, although you need an iOS (or Android) device to 
take advantage of this offer, once you have your iDrive account, you can use it 
across all platforms: Windows, Windows Phone, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS."

Hi Alex and all, I have used a tactile screen protector since I got my
first IPhone (the 4), and I now use the model that's been updated for
the 5s. I enjoy using the tactile dots for orientation and believe
that their availability reqlly speeds up my typing on the IPhone. In
addition, it's always easy to find the DONE and the EDIT buttons. It's
surprising how much the helpful orientation facilitates using the
IPhone, and I recommend them to every new IPhone user I meet.

p.s., I like the model that's less "busy," i.e., there are fewer
markings, and the markings on the keyboard refer to the F and J on the
QWERTY home row.

The Speed Dots tactile screen protectors are the ones. I've seen them,

don't use one personally. Every app is laid out differently, so while
it is
true that you do get tactile reference points, they can often change what
they reference depending on the app you have open. I found it just as
easy
to remember where things are on the screen and rely on speech or braille.
That said, if you are in a noisy area, they might prove useful, but
then if
you can't hear the speech telling you what's on the screen, how will you
hear the voice telling you the result of any action?

Re: Fleksy Now Fully Accessible

Moving forward, Fleksy VO will be discontinued. It was only ever meant to be a

app. Right now there are few differences, but in the future, Fleksy will be 
updated and supported while Fleksy Vo will not be.

RE: Calculator for iPad

Alan,

Can you download the Big Calculator free app and see if the :plus, minus, 
times, button are read by VO.  I have some people tell me they are but on my 
iPad I have not had any luck with that app.

I suggest trying all the free apps.  I found that almost all of them were

a matter of preference.  I just wanted a simple basic calculator  with all the

came across who placed then on the left.  I'm using my iPad Air in a case with 
a built-in QWERTY keyboard.  If you are looking for more then a simple unit, 
fear not.  Many could do advansed calculations so it comes down to a matter of 
finding one that trips your fancy.  I hope this helps but I fear you may not be

to find that right one in there somewhere.  It isn't often the blind get that

Fleksy Now Fully Accessible

Hi all,
Sorry if this is a repeat post, but earlier today, Fleksy announced that their 
main app is accessible. There are still some VO issues they are working on, but 
they say that, overall, VO users can use the regular app and not need Fleksy VO 
anymore. This is way ahead of their projected six month deadline, so good for 
them for getting this done so quickly. Best of all, the accessibility carries 
over to their SDK, so apps that incorporate Fleksy will have accessible typing 
as well, once they update to the latest version. Of course, apps that come 
onboard after today will already have the accessibility.

Hi Alex and all, I have used a tactile screen protector since I got my
first IPhone (the 4), and I now use the model that's been updated for
the 5s. I enjoy using the tactile dots for orientation and believe
that their availability reqlly speeds up my typing on the IPhone. In
addition, it's always easy to find the DONE and the EDIT buttons. It's
surprising how much the helpful orientation facilitates using the
IPhone, and I recommend them to every new IPhone user I meet.
Penny

p.s., I like the model that's less "busy," i.e., there are fewer
markings, and the markings on the keyboard refer to the F and J on the
QWERTY home row.

I'd be very surprised if anyone is still making the FM transmitter.

Re: screen cover

2014-04-29 Thread Penny Reeder

Yes, I find the reference dots very helpful for other applications as
well. When I bought my first tactile screen protector, it cost only
$7. Now, I think the cost is up to $10. It's easily the most helpful
thing I ever bought for my Iphone, and I highly recommend it!

Re: screen cover

Well, I disagree on some of this.

Every App is Layed Out Differently.  That is true, except that a lot of the 
common buttons you find on apps i.e. back, Ok, where you get an exposed 
keyboard, etc. are usually all similar.

The advanced overlay helps as a point of reference.   I can certainly use

The Speed Dots tactile screen protectors are the ones. I've seen them, but I 
don't use one personally. Every app is laid out differently, so while it is 
true that you do get tactile reference points, they can often change what 
they reference depending on the app you have open. I found it just as easy 
to remember where things are on the screen and rely on speech or braille. 
That said, if you are in a noisy area, they might prove useful, but then if 
you can't hear the speech telling you what's on the screen, how will you 
hear the voice telling you the result of any action?

 Get 50GB of iDrive iOS cloud storage for 99 cents per year


by   MacDailyNews 

[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Cloud-storage provider iDrive has extended this 
appealing deal to owners of iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches," Rick Broida 
reports for CNET. "You have to be a new iDrive customer, but otherwise the deal 
is exactly as good as it sounds: 50GB of cloud storage for an impossibly low 99 
cents per year."

"When iDrive first told me about this, I was sure it meant 99 cents for the 
first year, then a more typical $50 to $100 each year after that. But a company 
rep told me in no uncertain terms: 'It will be the same [99 cents] a year from 
now. [This is not] a first-year discount or limited-time offer,'" Broida 
reports. "To get it, you need one of the aforementioned iOS devices on which to 
install the iDrive app and sign up for an account. (Never mind the in-app 
purchase options shown in the App Store; you should see the 99-cent deal once 
you swipe through the getting-started screens.)"

More info via Apple's iTunes App Store:  

 iDrive (Online Backup) - Pro Softnet Corp

Broida reports, "By the way, although you need an iOS (or Android) device to 
take advantage of this offer, once you have your iDrive account, you can use it 
across all platforms: Windows, Windows Phone, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS."

hi,

do you use casper?
i couldn't figure out how to do an incremental/new file backup.
The entire drive clone feature works well but that overwrites the entire 
volume and takes at least 2-3 hours.

Hi, yes but the 100 gb you get from these rewards is good for only 1
year. My personal recommendation if you want to have good file backup
storage is to purchase a new hard drive and a program like Casper, which
is very speech friendly and will either do nightly or weekly backups, or
whenever you connect an external drive.

Re: screen cover

Cases are optional, though everyone I know uses one. That said, some cases 
offer their own screen protectors, while others do not, and I don't know if you 
can use a Speed Dots protector over a built-in one. Mostly though, the two are 
totally independent.

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

2014-04-29 Thread Alan Paganelli

The NBC nightly news app lets you listen to the NBC Nightly news broadcasts. 
The thing of it is, only after they have ran in all 48 states.  Handy if 
you've missed the news last night and, they leave out the commercials so 
that 30 minute news broadcast can be listened to in about 16 minutes give or 
take.


They also have the headlines.  You can just view each story one by one and 
save time.


The play button is in the top right-hand corner just under the status 
indicator.  It says dimmed but it is still active.  And, you can't beat the 
price either.  Free.

searching.  He told me that since the app in question was designed to run

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

when I'm trying to perform a search in this way.  Just curious what
everyone else thinks of this.  Thanks,

If they have a HIMS device, they could try the HIMS Chat app, but I'm not sure 
that has been updated.
If they have a humanware Apex, there is a Deaf-blind communicator app, but I 
think it costs close to $100.
Are they wanting to be able to converse with a hearing person through the app?
That is what HIMS chat and the communicator apps are suppose to make easier.
Otherwise, using something like AccessNote would work especially if they also 
had a bluetooth keyboard connected, then the other person could type in the

Re: text editing on ios with braille only

Hi, I did not know htat you could use cursor routing with pages? I tried it a 
year ago and then it was not possible and you had to do a lot with the rotor. 
Is this working now then?
The access notes app was indeed the app that i was thinking about and i thought 
it would be a lot easier to use then pages. But things might have changed in a 
year.

Re: screen cover

I suppose it helps keep the screen from getting scratched, but really,
the reason I use the tactile screen protector is the way it assists me

I believe you received bad info. I say this, because I search for apps on my

apps. I have used their iPad to search the app store and didn't have any

With that said, I haven't tried with the latest update.

Re: USB FM transmitter that plugs into a car radio

2014-04-29 Thread Richard Turner

I had one years ago and the amount of static made it not very useful.
Do you have a cassette deck in that car?
If so, you may still be able to find a cassette adapter that has a 3.5 m plug 
for the earphone jack on your device that plays through the cassette deck.
I'd be very surprised if anyone is still making the FM transmitter.
Good luck.

Re: text editing on ios with braille only

2014-04-29 Thread Woody Anna Dresner

Hi,

I like Nebulous. You can read continuously whether you're in read or edit mode, 
you can easily switch between two documents, and if you use the Search command, 
the found text appears on your braille display. You have to be sure the SEarch 
option is on the toolbar so it's easy to access, but if you do that, this app 
is the easiest I've found for working with long text documents. No app I've 
found has some of the basic features of most notetakers, however, such as the 
ability to move to the next and previous paragraph.

Best,
Anna

Re: Mobi juice pack

2014-04-29 Thread Sherrie

Basically, you switch it to charge when the phone gives the 20% battery 
warning. If you mean how do you know when to charge the Juice Pack there are 
some lights that show the charge when the button on the back is pressed.  I 
sometimes ask my husband to look at these but mostly I put the phone on 
charge every night so the phone recharges and then the Juice Pack recharges. 
It uses the micro USB charger plug instead of the Apple one.  On the phone 
itself when I check it during the night it might say 100% charging and then 
sometimes 100% on AC power.  I presume this is telling me about the state of 
the Juice Pack but I could be wrong.

Hi Grace,

A lot of people like the Amazon Basics keyboard and if you don't want to
spend $70 (the cost for an Apple Wireless keyboard) or $100 (the cost for
the Logitech K811) then it might be a good way to go. If you live in a
larger city you could always go to an Apple Store and check out the Apple
Wirreless keyboard to see if you like it. It's a very nice keyboard and its
only downfall is the fact that it turns on and off with a push button on the
right side (at the end nearest to where the F12 key is). If you put it in a
bag or backpack there is a very good chance that button gets pushed and then
if the keyboard turns on other keys may get pushed and your iPhone will
react.
I really really like the Logitech K811 because it has a slider switch on the
right side and there is no way it can turn on accidently, it also has a very
nice feel to it and if you end up ever getting an Apple TV and/or iPad, you
can pair up to 3 devices with it and switch between them simply by pressing
F1, F2 and F3.

I want to do email.  There are any number of Bluetooth keyboards out there.
For texting, I like the dictate feature instead.  Why?  No keyboard to have

Dictation probably couldn't handle a message of this size.  I hope this

The way I see it iOS does not actually complete email addresses. As you
start typing it gives you matching entries in a listso if I want to send an
email to let's say somebody called John Smith who is in my Contacts, I type
the first 2 or 3 letters, so "j o" or "j o h", then if I check the matching
results and if I have 4 people with the first name John or even the last
name "Johnson" I will see all of them there and I can pick the one I want

email address and I know it has been completed before and should be

Subject: RE: Copying and pasting a text message when you receive a text

Hi Terri,

You can try to switch the rotor to words, then flick down to read your text
message word by word. Once you get to the code, let Voiceover read it,
afterwards do a 3-finger quadruple tap, this is the command to copy whatever
was last spoken to the clipboard. Now you can start a new text message and
you can turn the rotor to Edit, then flick down until you get to Paste and
double tap.

You can also use the manual way to select the code, this involves finding
the code, then put 2 fingers on the screen and slowly move them apart (it's
called a pinch out). You can control how much text is selected by setting
your rotor to character or words or lines. Once you selected all the text
you want turn the rotor to Edit, flick down to copy and double tap, then
pasting is as described above.

Garth on his website www.iBlindTech.com has a podcast describing how to
select, copy and paste text which may help, but using the 3-finger quadruple
tap after a particular part of text has been spoken often works very well.
Only problem here is that sometimes after a tracking number or phone number
Voiceover will say "link" to indicate that the number in question is a link
one can double tap on. In that case the word "link" is also copied and you
have to delete it from the end of whatever number or text after you paste
it.

I think I'll write to Apple about this because this should not be part of
what gets copied since Voiceover speaks it, but it's not part of the text
yet once you paste the text, it becomes plain text.


Regards,

Sieghard

RE: Copying and pasting a text message when you receive a text message from your I Phone

2014-04-29 Thread Cristóbal

Well, you learn something new every day. I wasn't aware of the three finger
quadruple tap to copy. I always did the pinch out method.

Hi Terri,

You can try to switch the rotor to words, then flick down to read your text
message word by word. Once you get to the code, let Voiceover read it,
afterwards do a 3-finger quadruple tap, this is the command to copy whatever
was last spoken to the clipboard. Now you can start a new text message and
you can turn the rotor to Edit, then flick down until you get to Paste and
double tap.

You can also use the manual way to select the code, this involves finding
the code, then put 2 fingers on the screen and slowly move them apart (it's
called a pinch out). You can control how much text is selected by setting
your rotor to character or words or lines. Once you selected all the text
you want turn the rotor to Edit, flick down to copy and double tap, then
pasting is as described above.

Garth on his website www.iBlindTech.com has a podcast describing how to
select, copy and paste text which may help, but using the 3-finger quadruple
tap after a particular part of text has been spoken often works very well.
Only problem here is that sometimes after a tracking number or phone number
Voiceover will say "link" to indicate that the number in question is a link
one can double tap on. In that case the word "link" is also copied and you
have to delete it from the end of whatever number or text after you paste
it.

I think I'll write to Apple about this because this should not be part of
what gets copied since Voiceover speaks it, but it's not part of the text
yet once you paste the text, it becomes plain text.

Regards,

Sieghard

As far as I know, this is not possible. That's one reason why I don't

this case makes that very difficult. That's why I stick with the juice

USB FM transmitter that plugs into a car radio

2014-04-29 Thread Neal Ewers

Hi, I was told that one could purchase an FM transmitter that plugs into
one's car radio cigarette lighter for playing either music from the output
of one's iDevice or from a USB thumb drive. This would be for a radio that
is too old to have the capability of playing from either device. Can anyone
point me in the direction of a place that I might purchase one of these? I
can find places that no longer sell them, but I have not found a place that
currently has them available. This would sure beat finding my speakers to
connect to my iPhone  each time I want to travel.

 

Thanks much for any information on this.

 

Neal

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

Hi, yes but the 100 gb you get from these rewards is good for only 1
year. My personal recommendation if you want to have good file backup
storage is to purchase a new hard drive and a program like Casper, which
is very speech friendly and will either do nightly or weekly backups, or
whenever you connect an external drive.

I did download this iDrive app and got the .99 cent upgrade with no
problems. It is still uploading photos, videos, etc. now. I downloaded the
PC version, too, but it is pretty inaccessible to me. I do have iCloud but
it does not provide enough room for all my videos and photos since I have a

I guess I just can’t resist a bargain.
But the actual app seems to be pretty VO friendly so far.

Get 50GB of iDrive iOS cloud storage for
99 cents per year
by MacDailyNews

[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Cloud-storage
provider iDrive has extended this appealing deal to owners of iPhones,
iPads, and iPod Touches," Rick Broida reports for CNET. "You have to be a
new iDrive customer, but otherwise the deal is exactly as good as it sounds:
50GB of cloud storage for an impossibly low 99 cents per year."

"When iDrive first told me about this, I was
sure it meant 99 cents for the first year, then a more typical $50 to $100
each year after that. But a company rep told me in no uncertain terms: 'It
will be the same [99 cents] a year from now. [This is not] a first-year
discount or limited-time offer,'" Broida reports. "To get it, you need one
of the aforementioned iOS devices on which to install the iDrive app and
sign up for an account. (Never mind the in-app purchase options shown in the
App Store; you should see the 99-cent deal once you swipe through the
getting-started screens.)"

More info via Apple's iTunes App Store:
iDrive (Online Backup) - Pro Softnet Corp

Broida reports, "By the way, although you
need an iOS (or Android) device to take advantage of this offer, once you
have your iDrive account, you can use it across all platforms: Windows,
Windows Phone, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS."

Re: Your message in VIPhone was denied

Hi, actually Bill had sent several test messages to the list and I 
denied those. So, he's getting notifications about those. Bill, just so 
you know, all new subscribers to viphone are put on moderated status 
until I determine they are real people. I've removed your email from 
moderation, but you had sent a test message or 2 plus a couple of 
duplicate messages, which were also denied. I hope that clears it up.


Thanks.

Re: removing sim card from iPhone 5s in otter box case

2014-04-29 Thread Mike Arrigo

As far as I know, this is not possible. That's one reason why I don't 
like these cases, I tend to swap my sim between phones quite a bit, and 
this case makes that very difficult. That's why I stick with the juice 
pack, it doubles the battery life as well.

Original message:

Hello,
I need to remove my sim card from iPhone 5s.  Is it possible to remove 
the card while the phone is in the otter box case?  I was wanting to

Hi Grace,

A lot of people like the Amazon Basics keyboard and if you don't want to
spend $70 (the cost for an Apple Wireless keyboard) or $100 (the cost for
the Logitech K811) then it might be a good way to go. If you live in a
larger city you could always go to an Apple Store and check out the Apple
Wirreless keyboard to see if you like it. It's a very nice keyboard and its
only downfall is the fact that it turns on and off with a push button on the
right side (at the end nearest to where the F12 key is). If you put it in a
bag or backpack there is a very good chance that button gets pushed and then
if the keyboard turns on other keys may get pushed and your iPhone will
react.
I really really like the Logitech K811 because it has a slider switch on the
right side and there is no way it can turn on accidently, it also has a very
nice feel to it and if you end up ever getting an Apple TV and/or iPad, you
can pair up to 3 devices with it and switch between them simply by pressing
F1, F2 and F3.

Rena, as to which one is best, choosing a keyboard is like choosing a pare
of shoes.  Some people will like this kind and some will like that kind.  I
have the Amazon Basics Bluetooth Keyboard that I'll use with my iPhone when
I want to do email.  There are any number of Bluetooth keyboards out there.
For texting, I like the dictate feature instead.  Why?  No keyboard to have
to drag around.  For email, I like the Amazon keyboard.  Dictation on email
is alright too if your going to keep your email messages short and sweet.
Dictation probably couldn't handle a message of this size.  I hope this
helps answer your questions.

Completion not working consistently in address fields in email

2014-04-29 Thread Cheryl Homiak

Can somebody explain to me how this works and what may be the problem? 
Sometimes completion works fine for email addresses on my iPad. But at other 
times it seems to quit working. I type the beginning of a contact's name or 
email address and I know it has been completed before and should be available 
but nothing happens and I end up having to go into  "add contact" to put the 
email address in or put it in manually if I remember it. This is irritating and 
slows me down. If somebody can shed light on this and solve it for me, I would 
certainly appreciate it.

Thanks.
