RE: A question about A message I am getting when my A T and T iPhone is turned off

2014-05-03 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Casey,

When I first read your message I concluded that you are either (1)
encountering a SIM card problem or (2) some setting in your VoiceMail
account was/has been inadvertently changed.  Either of these two
possibilities are still very likely but upon a second read of your message I
now think that you should do a careful review of the do-not-disturb settings
on your iPhone.

If all is correct on the device, itself, then dial into your VoiceMail
account and check the settings there.  

If neither of these two avenues resolve the problem then you will need to go
into an A T  T store (I strongly suggest a corporate store) and they will
probably switch out your SIM card in order to get your VoiceMail working
again. 

You could call the customer service line but I suspect that this problem can
more easily be solved in person by a SIM swap.  

Good luck and keep us posted.

Mark

Re: Accessible App to Track LASERSHIP Packages from Amazon?

2014-05-03 Thread RobH.
Ok, I know this isn't quite in the spirit of the question, but this just 
worked for me when chasing a package in a non-standard courier.

I used the pc to find the company's main web site.  I got hold of the track 
number and entered it.

When I saw the results,  I got into the address field, selected and copied 
to clipboard, the entire address.
Then sent myself an email to my apple me.com account with just the link in 
and maybe parcel track in the subject.

Then, when I want to check, I open said message, click on the link, and it 
is checked all over again.

This should work with any service offering trackingthough agree it 
will depend on a certain form or style,  very common attributes, but with a 
minor possibility that they do it different so the details don't occupy the 
address line tail as parameters.

Hi, I use Slice for tracking and it works well. I haven't seen it
mentioned in the various tracking and shipping threads here. One nice
thing about slice is that you can give it your gmail access and it will
check your shipping status for things like Amazon, Ebay and other
various places which send you email. This isn't the same as forwarding
emails like you do with other apps, and it requires you to trust that
slice has access to your email.

 I know that at least three or four different apps for tracking packages
 have been mentioned here. I have been using the Shiprack app which I've
 found to be accessible, free, and easy to use since you simply forward
 the shipped package email from the vendor to get the package to be
 tracked into the Shiprack system.

 The last couple of items I've ordered from Amazon have been shipped
 using an outfit called LASERSHIP which is at the following website:

 http://lasership.com/index.php

 I've noticed that the Amazon packages shipped using LASERSHIP can't be
 tracked using Shiprack and I'm wondering if anyone using one of the
 other package tracking apps has successfully tracked a package delivered
 by LASERSHIP  with it. If so, could you share the name of the app and
 your opinion of it? I don't mind paying a couple of bucks for a package
 tracking app provided it's accessible and supports the carriers
 delivering my packages.

 Thanks in advance.

Re: How to increase I phone battery life

2014-05-03 Thread Sandratomkins
Hello to all,
Over the years, I have seen the discussion with regard to the screen curtain 
and its battery saving potential. I know the logic behind the argument that 
says it doesn't save any battery life. However, I have noticed the following: 
often, when I am trying to sleep, I plugged my ears into an earphone (wired) 
and attempt to sooth  my worried soul by way of a distracting book. In other 
words, escapism is a good way to get me to go to sleep! Now, and here is the 
point, the case on my iPhone has a flap which folds over the front of the 
phone, if I am using an app such as I like to read, and I leave the screen 
curtain off, when I wake up, usually about 3 o'clock in the morning, upon 
touching the phone I find it is hot! But, when I had the screen curtain on, I 
find the phone is only it's usual warm self. This indicates to me, knowing that 
heat is one expression of energy, that the phone does use up more energy when 
the screen is visibly bright. In other words, if the screen is giving off more 
heat when the screen curtain is off, then more power/energy must be being 
wasted. I do have a little vision, these days, nevertheless, I find I use the 
screen curtain most of the time.

Just my thoughts,
Sandy

 it's screen brightness which does make a difference.

RE: App Reviews -- it appears the Developers can censor them

2014-05-03 Thread SSEric
I really feel my reviewing an app inaccessible to me is unfair to the
developer. The point of a review is does it perform as intended. If there
was no intent to be accessible with Voiceover, then reviewing it on that
basis is unfair and meaningless to others. How valuable would be 100 reviews
by screen users of something like a Braille app because it would be totally
useless to them.

 

For sure, we should alert developers to the inaccessibility of their work. I
believe most times they are just not aware that their apps could be used by
screen reader users and what it might take to make it useable. But, that is
different from a review.

 

I was looking at a product on Amazon the other day. A reviewer gave it 2
stars because the price had gone up since she started buying the product.
She still liked its quality, but seriously downgraded it just based on
price. This really told me nothing about the product, but that I should be
an informed shopper, which I knew already, independent of shopping this
product or this marketplace.

All I can say is that if developers have some sort of editorial or censorial
authority over reviews, having a review system serves no purpose. For
reviews to be meaningful, the process must be totally independent from what
is being reviewed.

Hi,

 

I've sent reviews on 2 different apps this past week, but neither were
posted.

 

I've written iTunes Store Support about this. They confirmed my reviews were
sent but that apparently they were not posted as the Developers Review
Boards must not have allowed that.

 

Here is the comment from the iTunes Store Support message: Keith, as I
investigate. There are several reason why your reviews are not posted,
actually your reviews have bent sent but it depends on the developers review
boards to approve it. I'm sorry I can't provide you details regarding this
because we are just for billing, downloading and purchasing. I hope you
understand us.

 

Does this sound right? Seems like it would defeat the purpose of App Reviews
if Developers can have Review Boards to determine if they'll approve the
review before allowing it to be posted.

 

By the way, both of my reviews of apps were negative, as neither app was
accessible.

 

Thanks, Keith

Re: Accessible App to Track LASERSHIP Packages from Amazon?

2014-05-03 Thread Alan Paganelli
I guess I'm not understanding here.  Amazon.com always sends you an email 
message notifying you that your order has shipped.  In that message is a 
tracking history link you can follow.  You can watch your shipment's program 
from the shipper to your door.  It is totally blind friendly.  I've used it 
from Amazon.com, Buy.com and new egg and they all have been accessible.  So 
again my question, why do you think you need an app for that?

Hi, I use Slice for tracking and it works well. I haven't seen it
mentioned in the various tracking and shipping threads here. One nice
thing about slice is that you can give it your gmail access and it will
check your shipping status for things like Amazon, Ebay and other
various places which send you email. This isn't the same as forwarding
emails like you do with other apps, and it requires you to trust that
slice has access to your email.

I know that at least three or four different apps for tracking packages
have been mentioned here. I have been using the Shiprack app which I've
found to be accessible, free, and easy to use since you simply forward
the shipped package email from the vendor to get the package to be
tracked into the Shiprack system.

The last couple of items I've ordered from Amazon have been shipped
using an outfit called LASERSHIP which is at the following website:

http://lasership.com/index.php

I've noticed that the Amazon packages shipped using LASERSHIP can't be
tracked using Shiprack and I'm wondering if anyone using one of the
other package tracking apps has successfully tracked a package delivered
by LASERSHIP  with it. If so, could you share the name of the app and
your opinion of it? I don't mind paying a couple of bucks for a package
tracking app provided it's accessible and supports the carriers
delivering my packages.

Thanks in advance.

You can, but by using an app like Parcel, it notifies you when a package has
moved or if it's been delivered or anything, and you can have it come as an
alert rather than having to go in and check all the time.  Simply a
labor-saving app like many other apps in the app store.

Re: App Reviews -- it appears the Developers can censor them

2014-05-03 Thread Christopher Chaltain
	What apps were being reviewed? I don't see any mentioned in this

intended to be accessible?


Are you saying that it's OK for a developer to be able to reject any 
review they want because the app wasn't meant to be accessible?


I think the Apple guidelines for inclusion in the App Store mention 
accessibility, so I think it's perfectly acceptable to give a negative 
review of an app based on it's lack of accessibility. It's also a 
slippery slope when people start to claim that a certain type of app or 
technology can't be made accessible. How many people thought a touch 
screen based technology could be made accessible ten years ago?


I also don't think a negative review by a blind person because an app is 
not accessible will spell the demise of an app in the App Store. There 
are just too few blind users, and sighted users aren't going to avoid an 
app because it isn't accessible. It will serve to notify other blind 
users that the app is not worth downloading or purchasing because it 
isn't accessible.

100 reviews by screen users of something like a Braille app because it
would be totally useless to them.

For sure, we should alert developers to the inaccessibility of their
work. I believe most times they are just not aware that their apps could
be used by screen reader users and what it might take to make it
useable. But, that is different from a review.

I was looking at a product on Amazon the other day. A reviewer gave it 2
stars because the price had gone up since she started buying the
product. She still liked its quality, but seriously downgraded it just
based on price. This really told me nothing about the product, but that
I should be an informed shopper, which I knew already, independent of
shopping this product or this marketplace.

All I can say is that if developers have some sort of editorial or
censorial authority over reviews, having a review system serves no
purpose. For reviews to be meaningful, the process must be totally
independent from what is being reviewed.

Hi,

I've sent reviews on 2 different apps this past week, but neither were
posted.

I've written iTunes Store Support about this. They confirmed my reviews
were sent but that apparently they were not posted as the Developers
Review Boards must not have allowed that.

Here is the comment from the iTunes Store Support message: Keith, as I
investigate. There are several reason why your reviews are not posted,
actually your reviews have bent sent but it depends on the developers
review boards to approve it. I'm sorry I can't provide you details
regarding this because we are just for billing, downloading and
purchasing. I hope you understand us.

Does this sound right? Seems like it would defeat the purpose of App
Reviews if Developers can have Review Boards to determine if they'll
approve the review before allowing it to be posted.

By the way, both of my reviews of apps were negative, as neither app was
accessible.

Thanks, Keith

RE: App Reviews -- it appears the Developers can censor them

2014-05-03 Thread Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.
Hi Mark,

The 2 apps were The Great Courses app and the MPRNews app.

I don't have copies. Basically, both reviews were about the same.

The title of the reviews were something like this: This app is not accessible 
to or usable by the blind.

The content of the reviews were something like this: Buttons on this site are 
not labelled for reading by VoiceOver, the onboard iOS screen reading software. 
Links are labeled by image title, such as 1050 jpg image which do not provide 
meaningful information for blind users to determine the nature of the link. 
These issues could likely be corrected without a great deal of time or effort. 
Please refer to the Developers App toolkit information regarding accessibility 
at Apple. Please give serious consideration to making your website accessible 
to the blind.

For the Great Courses app, I also included the following at the beginning of 
the review content: I have been in phone contact and email contact with 
customer service on 4 occasions since October 2013. I received an email message 
today from customer service indicating they had no plans to make their app 
accessible to the blind.

Hi Lisa,

You can subscribe to iTunes Match for $25 a year, then all your music is
matched with what's available in iTunes and if you have any which is not in
the iTunes Store that will be uploaded to your iCloud account, but it will
not count against the 5 Gb free storage you have. You can then play your
music with the regular music app via WiFi or data and you can download it if
you want.

Re: The Brailliant bi 32

That is a good question. I connected it to my computer, but only for a short

happens to both the phone and the iPad mini. Neither Apple or Humanware has 
heard of such an animal either. I don't know if this display is under warrantee 
or not, because I just got it used last week.

I think battery life is still a valid item to take into account when
buying a bluetooth headset. You may not be able to charge it every
night, so getting nine hours of talk time instead of five hours over the
course of three or four days may be a deciding factor.

I've also had jobs where spending more than four hours on conference
calls in a day was not unusual. I wouldn't want to have to worry about
my headset battery at the end of the day. I also wouldn't be doing my
job if I had a secretary on those calls instead of being on them myself.

Hi okay hear is what I would like to know.
Yesterday I went in to my local A T  T store.
And purchased the Motorola h 17 text.
\The sales person said that the only thing that the h 19 text had over
the h 17 was.
That the H 19 had the NFC connection for android phones.
\And since I didn't have an android in having an iPhone I didn't need
that future.
but when thing I didn't think of asking about was how long the H 17
battery life was.
Well when I got home I looked it up and from what I Google it said.
that the H 17 has five hours of talk time.
So I looked up the H 19 and saw that it had 9 hours of talk time.
Now I got the H 17 for A little over 80.00.
And the H 19 was for 100.00.
When I saw the battery life listed for the H 17.
That I had just purchased I said to myself.
I should have gotten the H 19 for the longer battery life.
Since I was spending almost 100.00 anyway.
So I will ask on hear.
What do you all think?
Would you keep the H 17 or exchange it and get the H 19 text for the 9
hours of battery life?
Since I am spending almost 100.00 for the H 17 and 20.00 more the the H
19 text?
I feel that I should have spend the more money and gotten the H 19 text
instead.
So everyone hear please look in to the two ear pieces and let me know
what you think.
Thank you all and have A nice day.

app always appear log off. And I am no able to search anything on this
status. If I go to settings, I see log in, but is no way to modify the
status of this setting.  Ok, I tried to login to spotify and It asked me to
log in with my password, and I don't have any password, so I reset my
password, but is no way, no matter what password I am trying to use, it
doesn't let me sign in. But I am learning something about a monthly payment.
I am no aware? We have to pay for spotify?

It talks about a free trial of 30 days, but I never heard anything about pay
or free trials, or anything like this. Any body can guide me with this
issue?

Thanks

Re: How to increase I phone battery life

2014-05-03 Thread Alan Paganelli
That's strange.  I'm not experiencing anything like that.  I do however remove 
all running apps from the switcher when I'm not using them.  Somebody told me 
to do that long ago and I've sort of made it a practice.  It wouldn't hurt to 
try it out.

Hit the home button twice quickly to open the switcher.   left or right to see 
the running apps.  When you hear the name of an app announced such as phone, 
flick up with 3 fingers to close the app.  When you hear the word home, you've 
closed all open apps.  Then just hit the home button 1 time to exit the 
switcher.  I keep my screen brightness set to 30 percent.  From time to time my 
wife wants to borrow my phone and hates it when she can't see the screen.  I 
told her I don't see what your problem is, I can't see it either!  Not funny 
she says!  Oh well I tried.

cursor buttons above its braille cells, or do you use buttons/joysticks to 
move the cursor on that model?  I'd like to be able to push a button over 
the braille cell, or, in the case of the BraillePen 12 Touch, touch an area 
over the braille cell, to place my cursor there.

Thanks for any thoughts/opinions! :-)

RE: spotify, maybe I am not aware

2014-05-03 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Pablo,

 

Spotify is a premium music service which does cost a monthly subscription.
Not sure what else to tell you, I think it's $10 or $15 in the States per
month. You do have iTunes Radio for free, why not use it? Maybe it doesn't
have all the features of on demand playing as you get with a paid service,
but while it is not in Canada, I would certainly use it if I could.

Sieghard

Hi all.

After a few days trying to login again to my spotify account, I don't
remember if I create this account before, I guess no. Even though my spotify
app always appear log off. And I am no able to search anything on this
status. If I go to settings, I see log in, but is no way to modify the

log in with my password, and I don't have any password, so I reset my
password, but is no way, no matter what password I am trying to use, it
doesn't let me sign in. But I am learning something about a monthly payment.
I am no aware? We have to pay for spotify?

It talks about a free trial of 30 days, but I never heard anything about pay
or free trials, or anything like this. Any body can guide me with this
issue?

Thanks

Not sure. Spotify is now free for everybody. On the iPhone it works like

You can, but by using an app like Parcel, it notifies you when a package has
moved or if it's been delivered or anything, and you can have it come as an
alert rather than having to go in and check all the time.  Simply a
labor-saving app like many other apps in the app store.

I guess I'm not understanding here.  Amazon.com always sends you an email
message notifying you that your order has shipped.  In that message is a
tracking history link you can follow.  You can watch your shipment's program

from the shipper to your door.  It is totally blind friendly.  I've used it
from Amazon.com, Buy.com and new egg and they all have been accessible.  So
again my question, why do you think you need an app for that?

Hi, I use Slice for tracking and it works well. I haven't seen it
mentioned in the various tracking and shipping threads here. One nice
thing about slice is that you can give it your gmail access and it will
check your shipping status for things like Amazon, Ebay and other
various places which send you email. This isn't the same as forwarding
emails like you do with other apps, and it requires you to trust that
slice has access to your email.

I know that at least three or four different apps for tracking packages
have been mentioned here. I have been using the Shiprack app which I've
found to be accessible, free, and easy to use since you simply forward
the shipped package email from the vendor to get the package to be
tracked into the Shiprack system.

The last couple of items I've ordered from Amazon have been shipped
using an outfit called LASERSHIP which is at the following website:

http://lasership.com/index.php

I've noticed that the Amazon packages shipped using LASERSHIP can't be
tracked using Shiprack and I'm wondering if anyone using one of the
other package tracking apps has successfully tracked a package delivered
by LASERSHIP  with it. If so, could you share the name of the app and
your opinion of it? I don't mind paying a couple of bucks for a package
tracking app provided it's accessible and supports the carriers
delivering my packages.

Thanks in advance.

RE: A Different Headphone Question

2014-05-03 Thread Terrie Terlau
Hello Eric and all of you in ViPhone land,

A while back, Eric gave me wonderful info about the Jabra Halo bluetooth
headphones. I am finally going to buy them as I have a bluetooth PC set up
for music. However, I see that there is a Halo2 as well as the Halo. The
Amazon descriptions say that the 2 has improvements for music, but do not
address whether the physical design has changed. I wondered if any of you
have heard anything about the 2 from anyone who is blind -- I would hate to
get the 2 and find that they had made a change that made the controls
inaccessible. By any chance is anyone using the Jabra Halo 2 and if so could
you please share your thoughts?

 

Thanks a lot.

Terrie Terlau

Terrie, I have owned the Jabra halo. These are almost like a hairband girls
wear that go over each ear. They are a soft padding. It is almost as though
they took a flat strip about 2 inches wide and bent it to cover your ear, go
over your head and cover the opposite ear.

 

The sound of these was quite good. They do have a touch strip and buttons
for voice  track selection. It is very easy to get used to using. Also,
they have a cord with a male 3.5 connection to plug-into non-Bluetooth
devices, such as book readers, etc.

I just checked Amazon, and they are $72. There was something that sounded
similar for $49, although I would examine it extremely closely to be sure it
is the same device.

 

A suggestion would be you ask someone sighted to search Amazon for Bluetooth
stereo. They can very quickly skim the pictures to see if something meets
your requirements. Last, I would suggest you not insist on Bluetooth three
it really doesn't have anything to offer over Bluetooth too. You're one
absolute must be that they have A2DP.

Good luck! I would be interested in what you find. I am still on a quest for
the perfect Bluetooth stereo headphones.

Eric

Apps Similar To iHeart Radio Here In Canada

2014-05-03 Thread BBS
Hi all. This question has been on my mind for a few days now and I've been
meaning to ask this. Is there other apps similar to iHeart Radio that I
could download here in Canada? I like the fact that with iHeart Radio you
can listen to regular radio stations as well as make your own ones. I'd like
to hear some suggestions.

RE: spotify, maybe I am not aware

2014-05-03 Thread Pablo Morales
Well, the problem is that I don't want to play radio. In radio mode, I have
to listening what ever they put on the radio. In spotify I use to search a
artist, or an album, and play the songs related with that artist or album,
or just search, for example if I wrote life, spotify is going to show me
every thing that is a life concert or the most part of results will be life
concerts. iTunes radio has a search field, but is no way to type anything
there, it says double tab to edit, but it never activate the editing mode,
so I have to play what ever they have on those radios, and it is not what I
want.

Hi Pablo,

 

Spotify is a premium music service which does cost a monthly subscription.
Not sure what else to tell you, I think it's $10 or $15 in the States per
month. You do have iTunes Radio for free, why not use it? Maybe it doesn't
have all the features of on demand playing as you get with a paid service,
but while it is not in Canada, I would certainly use it if I could.

There is of course OoTunes and then there are some Canada specific apps like

find that 2 of them mention Voiceover and that apparently the apps is
accessible. Here are the links:

RE: Navigator and VoiceOver

2014-05-03 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Richard,

First, thank you for sending a VoiceOver request to the developer of A T  T 
Navigator.

Second, another GPS navigation enthusiast received a similarly non sequitur 
reply in response to his request, as well.

The following is a copy of an off-list reply I sent to him as to what I believe 
the sender was referring:

[Begin Copy of Off-List Reply]
It has never been possible to directly terminate a route in Navigator via 
VoiceOver.

However, in the previous version, 3.1.3, if one VoiceOver-Double-Tapped on the 
Copyright Sign button at the lower left of the navigation screen, the resulting 
dialog box would pop up asking if you wished to end the current navigation trip 
at which point all one had to do was to select yes.

In the recent release, this little trick no longer works--well, what I should 
say is that it continues to work but in a slightly different way.  It took me 
about two hours to figure it out but now, once again, I can consistently end a 
trip whenever I wish--still using the Copyright sign.  

In short, it's a real mess for any blind or low vision person who is not 
intimately familiar with the 3.1.3 controls.

Keeping My Fingers Crossed,

Mark

RE: Pub Format

2014-05-03 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Beverly,

 

A .pub file was created with Microsoft Publisher. It appears some of the
Office apps might be able to open this, but the problem is that none of them
or very few of them are accessible. In any case, if it's a Publisher file
chances are the content might be graphic. I don't know who sent you the file
and what it is supposed to contain, but you might want to ask whoever send
it to you to try and send you the information in a more accessible format.
There are many online converters which would allow somebody to convert a
Publisher document to a PDF which might work although if the entire content
is graphical/an image it won't do much good, either.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

RE: App Reviews -- it appears the Developers can censor them

2014-05-03 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Keith,

Thank you for providing this information.  

By the way, Generally speaking, I usually write my reviews using the Notes
app on the phone then copy and paste it into the Review dialog box so that I
have a copy.  I have found this necessary especially when the first
submittal does not go through.  iTunes/App Store can, sometimes, be
capricious.

Subject: RE: App Reviews -- it appears the Developers can censor them

Hi Mark,

The 2 apps were The Great Courses app and the MPRNews app.

I don't have copies. Basically, both reviews were about the same.

The title of the reviews were something like this: This app is not
accessible to or usable by the blind.

The content of the reviews were something like this: Buttons on this site
are not labelled for reading by VoiceOver, the onboard iOS screen reading
software. Links are labeled by image title, such as 1050 jpg image which
do not provide meaningful information for blind users to determine the
nature of the link. These issues could likely be corrected without a great
deal of time or effort. Please refer to the Developers App toolkit
information regarding accessibility at Apple. Please give serious
consideration to making your website accessible to the blind.

For the Great Courses app, I also included the following at the beginning of
the review content: I have been in phone contact and email contact with
customer service on 4 occasions since October 2013. I received an email
message today from customer service indicating they had no plans to make
their app accessible to the blind.

If I may ask, what are the names of the two apps you reviewed?  

Also, if you saved a copy of the reviews, would you consider posting them on

Hi,

I've sent reviews on 2 different apps this past week, but neither were
posted.

I've written iTunes Store Support about this. They confirmed my reviews were
sent but that apparently they were not posted as the Developers Review
Boards must not have allowed that.

Here is the comment from the iTunes Store Support message: Keith, as I
investigate. There are several reason why your reviews are not posted,
actually your reviews have bent sent but it depends on the developers review
boards to approve it. I'm sorry I can't provide you details regarding this
because we are just for billing, downloading and purchasing. I hope you
understand us.

Does this sound right? Seems like it would defeat the purpose of App Reviews
if Developers can have Review Boards to determine if they'll approve the
review before allowing it to be posted.

By the way, both of my reviews of apps were negative, as neither app was
accessible.

Thanks, Keith

Hi Shawn,

 

There is of course OoTunes and then there are some Canada specific apps like
CBC Music and Rogers Radio. I have tried both a while back and don't recall
any accessibility issues, but of course that was prior to iOS 7. In any
case, if you read the app reviews by going to the link I provided you'll
find that 2 of them mention Voiceover and that apparently the apps is
accessible. Here are the links:

 

CBC Music: Free

https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/cbc-music/id492672474?mt=8

Description:

CBC Music gives you free, instant access to the music you love. Tune into 50
unique music stations, listen to over 150,000 songs whenever you want, plus
stream entire albums of new music before you can buy them. Read new articles
and interviews with your favourite musicians daily, and watch high quality
video from CBC Music's library of concerts and performances.

 

Features:

Free, instant access to 50 unique music stations

Over 150,000 songs to listen to whenever you want

Fresh music news, interviews, and articles daily

Listen to full albums before you can buy them

Concerts and videos from your favourite Canadian artists

 

No matter what your musical taste or mood, CBC Music connects you with the
music you love.

 

 

Rogers Radio: Free

https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/rogers-radio/id365354391?mt=8

Description:

Now you can hear your choice of Canada's most popular radio stations -
anywhere, anytime!

You can listen to your favourite stations and discover new ones with the
Rogers Radio App.

Choose from over 50 station streams featuring Rock, Country, Top 40,
News/Talk, Sports and Multilingual formats. Listen to top-rated stations
across the country, including 98.1 CHFI, 680News, Sportsnet Radio - The FAN
590, JACK FM and SONiC 102.9.

This app gives you great audio quality, and allows you to search by station
name or by the city - or just search for the station that's closest to you.
It also gives you song and artist info, and even tells you how to contact
the stations.

slightly OT : iOS simple filesystem management

Hello,
On my Android devices, it is rather simple to download and save files to the 
filesystem, create directories, etc. So, my question is this : 
1 - how do I download files locally in iOS?
2 - how do I manipulate the filesystem? How do I create directories, move files 
around, etc? In other words, what type of file manager/explorer programs exist 
and how accessible are they with VO?
3 - I know that when I jailbreak an iOS device, I am able to install an ssh 
server and sftp files anywhere on the device as the root user. In Android, I 
can elevate an application to root privileges. How does one do this in iOS, and 
do I need to be jailbroken first?

Thanks,
Bill

configuring VO to work with Google services?

2014-05-03 Thread Bill Dengler
Hello,
With the Google Hangouts app in iOS, swipe gestures fail to register, and 
exploration only works to a degree. Also, VO fails to announce many button 
labels. This problem happens both on a 4S and 5S running iOS 7.1/7.1.1. I am 
not making any configuration changes to the app or VO which is probably what's 
up. The service/app works beautifully both on Android and Chrome/ChromeVox on 
OS X. I am having similar issues with the Google Plus app on iOS, but, again, 
not on Android/Chrome. Also, when I was a Glass explorer I had similar problems 
with the My Glass app on iOS 7.1 beta, but again, the website worked fine in 
Chrome/Chrome Vox. So, my question is, how do I configure VO to best work with 
the Google services that I rely so heavily on?

Re: slightly OT : iOS simple filesystem management

2014-05-03 Thread Tristan
Hi Bill,
For all of this you'll most likely need to be jailbroken. There are
apps that can turn your iOS device into an FTP server, mainly Ubi-Disk
if I recall. It doesn't provide direct root access to your iOS device
though, or even let you see beyond the apps folder whilst connected to
the FTP server. Any other solutions would have to be obtained via
Jailbreaking, which if I had to presume is beyond the scope of this
list.

Nothing in VO is misconfigured, this is just Google not being accessible. There 
is nothing you can do, aside from labeling buttons, to help the app work 
better. It is up to Google to make their apps more VO-friendly, and quite 
frankly, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Re: configuring VO to work with Google services?

2014-05-03 Thread Tristan
There's probably no way to configure VO to work better with an app.
I found that most of the Google services on iOS are all inaccessible
to a degree myself; I've only used the Gmail APP, Google Search and
Google Translate applications though. Your best bet is e-mailing
Google accessibility and seeing if they'll do something about it.

moderator's friendly reminder about one liner messages

2014-05-03 Thread Raul A. Gallegos
Hi folks. Just a quicky reminder about sending out those one liner 
messages. There has been several new and active users to the viphone 
list. This is always welcome and awesome! However the one-liner messages 
have increased. Most likely because people either forgot, or didn't know 
that we don't like them much on list. Since the traffic on list is high 
even during slow times, it's even worse during busy times, like the 
release of a new iOS version. So, let's all remember that when we send 
messages out to the list, try to make them so they benefit everyone else 
and that they are on topic.


Thanks much.

Voiceover and Talkback/Chrome are very two different screen readers.
Xcode is not the same as the programming languages that are used in

Re: slightly OT : iOS simple filesystem management

2014-05-03 Thread Alex Hall
You're thinking about iOS in the context of Android. The two are different, and 
take very different approaches to file management. Where Android lets apps talk 
freely, access the same file system, and so on, iOS sandboxes them. Say you 
have two Daisy players. You can't download one copy of a book and let both apps 
open it, each app needs its own copy of the book. There is no common file 
storage beyond the music/movie library, which is tightly controlled and 
encrypted.

Consequently, root privileges would do no good, since no app can go outside of 
its sandbox no matter what. Each app can manage its own files, but no apps can 
manage common files.

If I need a way to sort random files into folders, I use Dropbox. It's 
accessible, free, and syncs over the internet so I can access that same folder 
structure online or on any other iOS, Android, OS X, or Windows device I happen 
to have. Aside from that, I give each app the file(s) that it makes sense to 
give that app, and keep masters on my computer in case I need to use the files 
for something else. Apple is pushing for a lack of folder structure, between 
iCloud syncing and its use of file tagsin the latest OS X release, so the lack 
of a user-accessible file system, aside from being a huge part of iOS' 
top-notch security, makes sense from the Apple perspective.

Re: configuring VO to work with Google services?

Accessibility is implemented very, very differently on iOS than it is on 
Android. Just because it works on one does not say anything about the other. 
Behind the scenes, the Android and iOS apps, though they do the same thing for 
you the user, are two different projects, in two different places, likely run 
by two different teams at Google.

Re: slightly OT : iOS simple filesystem management

2014-05-03 Thread RobH.
I've not found any such system one can access.

But there are apps that do it, like PhoneDrive and Ubidisk;   we'll skip 
past dropbox for now.

The apps mentioned do what you ask for file storage, organisation and 
manipulation.

RobH.

Ps:  there's bound to be a thread on your local pc iTunes app to do it too.

Subject: slightly OT : iOS simple filesystem management


Hello,
On my Android devices, it is rather simple to download and save files to the 
filesystem, create directories, etc. So, my question is this :
1 - how do I download files locally in iOS?
2 - how do I manipulate the filesystem? How do I create directories, move 
files around, etc? In other words, what type of file manager/explorer 
programs exist and how accessible are they with VO?
3 - I know that when I jailbreak an iOS device, I am able to install an ssh 
server and sftp files anywhere on the device as the root user. In Android, I 
can elevate an application to root privileges. How does one do this in iOS, 
and do I need to be jailbroken first?

Thanks,
Bill

RE: Deleting apps in the app switcher

I am using an iPad and when I do the one finger flick up nothing happens.  I
know I used to delete that app in the app switcher with this method  For
some reason now when I go to the app switcher and do a single finger flick
up nothing happens.  Any other suggestions or I am I doing something wrong?

Do a one finger flick up until it says close app. Then double tap. From then
on you can just double tap until all you see is home.

Re: BraillePen 12 Touch

 As of a couple months ago, the braille pen touch did not work with IOS. This 
was supposed to change at some point. I have the regular braille pen and it has 
no routing buttons.  contact the vendor about the braille pen touch.  All the

 Hi all.
 
 Has anyone used the BraillePen 12 Touch, the one with the routing touch areas 
 above each braille cell?  I'd like to know whether it is worth buying one to 
 work with my iDevices?
 
 Also, I think the answer is no, but just to double-check, does the BraillePen 
 12, not the new Touch version but the regular version, have cursor buttons 
 above its braille cells, or do you use buttons/joysticks to move the cursor 
 on that model?  I'd like to be able to push a button over the braille cell, 
 or, in the case of the BraillePen 12 Touch, touch an area over the braille 
 cell, to place my cursor there.
 
 Thanks for any thoughts/opinions! :-)

Hello,

The library that you want to share with your phone has to be opened for this 
feature to show up in the music app. If it is not, you won't see it. Also 
note that home sharing needs to be enabled on the device that you want to

How do I change the order of my news feeds or time line on the Facebook app

2014-05-03 Thread Neal Ewers
Hi, I just started using this so sorry if this has been asked. I note that
the order of my timeline is not organized by time. I find one from yesterday
and the next one is 2 hours ago. Can I organize these according to time? If
so, how?

 

Thanks much.

Re: How to increase I phone battery life

2014-05-03 Thread Andy Baracco
With IOS 7, apps do not automatically close simply when you hit the home 
button. You have to close them in the app switcher.

That's strange.  I'm not experiencing anything like that.  I do however remove 
all running apps from the switcher when I'm not using them.  Somebody told me 
to do that long ago and I've sort of made it a practice.  It wouldn't hurt to 
try it out.

Hit the home button twice quickly to open the switcher.  left or right to see 
the running apps.  When you hear the name of an app announced such as phone, 
flick up with 3 fingers to close the app.  When you hear the word home, you've 
closed all open apps.  Then just hit the home button 1 time to exit the 
switcher.  I keep my screen brightness set to 30 percent.  From time to time my 
wife wants to borrow my phone and hates it when she can't see the screen.  I 
told her I don't see what your problem is, I can't see it either!  Not funny 
she says!  Oh well I tried.

Hello,

The library that you want to share with your phone has to be opened for this

feature to show up in the music app. If it is not, you won't see it. Also 
note that home sharing needs to be enabled on the device that you want to 
share with your phone.

Re: The Brailliant bi 32

2014-05-03 Thread Gmail
Kaitlyn, this message comes up because most Braille displays require a pin. You 
don't have to worry about this with your display, however, because the 
Brailliant line of displays do not require a pin. There should be an okay or 
confirm button or something like that on the iPhone screen. Either that or you 
just have to press space and the enter key, also known as dot 8. I can't quite 
remember which thing you have to do at the moment, look for something on the 
iPhone screen, or press space with enter on the display.

If you don't already know, there's a sequence to turning on the display and 
iPhone if you want to use the phone without the display for a while. First, 
lock your iPhone, and then turn off the display, and then unlock your iPhone. 
You can also turn off Bluetooth at this time to conserve battery power. When 
you want the display to reconnect with your phone automatically, lock your 
screen, turn the display on, and then unlock your phone. The display should pay 
automatically with your phone then. If you turn on Bluetooth thing this time, 
remember to turn it back on, lock your screen, and then follow the procedure 
for reconnecting automatically.

They were talking about the cheaper headset, in non-retail packaging. One 
person said it was dead on arrival, and a few other people said something about 
the headset being designed by Motorola, but not made by Motorola. I'm not quite

option.

 I think battery life is still a valid item to take into account when
 buying a bluetooth headset. You may not be able to charge it every
 night, so getting nine hours of talk time instead of five hours over the
 course of three or four days may be a deciding factor.
 
 I've also had jobs where spending more than four hours on conference
 calls in a day was not unusual. I wouldn't want to have to worry about
 my headset battery at the end of the day. I also wouldn't be doing my
 job if I had a secretary on those calls instead of being on them myself.

This is going to sound like a weird question. I made lots of custom labels for

Re: Question Regarding iPhone 5C Cases with Slide-out Bluetooth Keyboard

2014-05-03 Thread Gmail
Thanks for the recommendation. I remember us talking about the Logitech 
keyboard before, and I'm very tempted to get it. I was mostly trying to steer 
somebody else away from the Apple keyboard, especially if they were going to 
carry it around with them, for the reasons that both of us mentioned. That was 
the only thing I didn't like about the Apple keyboard, and I wanted to make 
sure that they knew what they were getting into before they went out and bought 
it. It's a great keyboard apart from that darn button.

 Ari,
 
 The Logitech K811 is just as nice as the Apple Wireless keyboard and it has
 a nice low-profile slider switch on the right side which would never turn on
 by accident. I think the issue with the Apple Wireless keyboard is not that
 it looses battery since the battery lasts forever anyways, but if it does
 turn on in a pack then also buttons get pressed so then I have to turn
 Bluetooth off on the phone in order for my phone not to do stuff all the
 time and of course that doesn't work so good if I am using a Bluetooth
 headset.
 
 I guess Apple does not necessarily consider the Apple Wireless keyboard to
 be something people bring along, maybe you should send this to
 accessibil...@apple.com so maybe in a future version of the keyboard they
 get rid of the push button.

 I like how it felt to type on the Apple Wireless Keyboard, but it's one
 drawback for me, and it was a big one, is that it turned on with the press
 of a button, not a switch. 
 This was a problem for me, as it meant that the keyboard kept getting turned

 If you can use something like the RII keyboard or other such devices about

 Here is the comment from the iTunes Store Support message: “Keith, as I

 actually your reviews have bent sent but it depends on the developers review

 Does this sound right? Seems like it would defeat the purpose of App Reviews

 review before allowing it to be posted.
  
 By the way, both of my reviews of apps were negative, as neither app was 
 accessible.

Re: best way to back up ones I phone

2014-05-03 Thread brian albriton
Hi, Jonathan. Can I create a new encrypted backup if I have forgotten the 
password? This happened to me some time ago and I wasn't able to start a fresh 
backup.  All the best, Brian 

 On May 2, 2014, at 6:02 PM, Jonathan Mosen jmo...@mosen.org wrote:
 
 Hi, I would have to disagree with those who say the answer to this question 
 is a matter of opinion. The question asked specifically about the best means 
 of backing up. Not the easiest or the most convenient, but the best. There is 
 in my view only one answer to the question when it's phrased this way, and it 
 is this. The best way to back up your device is with an encrypted backup in 
 iTunes. Here's why.
 An encrypted backup is the only way of backing up passwords and other 
 sensitive data. If you restore from an iCloud backup and log into apps like 
 Skype, or similar apps requiring you to sign in, you'll need to sign in 
 again. Encrypt your backup on iTunes and you avoid this hassle.
 The point has already been made in this thread about the desirability of an 
 iTunes backup if you keep old copies of apps for accessibility reasons. But 
 there's more to it. Your apps are not backed up to iCloud at all, and when 
 you restore using this method, the latest version of the app is downloaded. 
 But what if you have an app that has been pulled from the store, either by 
 Apple, or by the developer because they no longer wish to support it? The 
 answer is, restore from iCloud and you're just out of luck. You've lost that 
 app for good.
 iCloud backups don't back up your music. If all your music comes from the 
 iTunes Store, or you have iTunes Match, this is no problem at all, but it's a 
 consideration if you spent lots of time initially syncing music from your 
 computer. You can of course sync with your computer after restoring from an 
 iCloud backup, but if you have to do that, you may as well do the whole thing 
 from iTunes and enjoy the benefits.
 Personally, I use both methods just for safety's sake. My devices back up to 
 iCloud every night, but when I connect to iTunes, I manually initiate an 
 encrypted backup. That way, if I'm travelling without my computer and need to 
 get up and running again, I can, but iTunes is my first restore preference 
 for the above reasons. So it's certainly possible to use both.
 No doubt iCloud is the most convenient from a set it and forget it point of 
 view.

RE: BraillePen 12 Touch

2014-05-03 Thread Amy Harris
Thanks for the reply Brian.  I did contact the vendor.  They actually say that 
you can set the BraillePen Touch up as a different braille device and it works. 
 They say that’s a temporary work-around, but that it works for now, and that 
Apple has had the new BraillePen Touch for 6 months now and the “driver” update 
should be coming out soon in IOS.  I was just wondering whether anyone here had 
used the Touch, and what the opinions were?  If no one has used the touch, what 
are some opinions on the regular BraillePen 12?  BTW, I got the info about 
installing the BraillePen touch as a different device from Larry Lewis, so you 
guys can contact him to get further info on that if any of you have a Touch and 
want to know what device to install it as.  You can get his contact info at:

 

www.Flying-Blind.com http://www.Flying-Blind.com 

 

He was very helpful to me, and he’s who I’ll be buying from if/when I buy.

Re: The Brailliant bi 32

2014-05-03 Thread Deb Lewis
We have a brailliant BI in our office and i can't reproduce this at
all. there was an update several months back so you ight want to go
through that process.

 Kaitlyn, this message comes up because most Braille displays require a pin.
 You don't have to worry about this with your display, however, because the
 Brailliant line of displays do not require a pin. There should be an okay or
 confirm button or something like that on the iPhone screen. Either that or
 you just have to press space and the enter key, also known as dot 8. I can't
 quite remember which thing you have to do at the moment, look for something
 on the iPhone screen, or press space with enter on the display.

 If you don't already know, there's a sequence to turning on the display and
 iPhone if you want to use the phone without the display for a while. First,
 lock your iPhone, and then turn off the display, and then unlock your
 iPhone. You can also turn off Bluetooth at this time to conserve battery
 power. When you want the display to reconnect with your phone automatically,
 lock your screen, turn the display on, and then unlock your phone. The
 display should pay automatically with your phone then. If you turn on
 Bluetooth thing this time, remember to turn it back on, lock your screen,
 and then follow the procedure for reconnecting automatically.

decide.


Dear Keith,



Thank you for the response, I see you want to clarify that the App developers 
have the controls of approving the reviews.



Kieth, yes. The app developers have the control of approving the review but 
there are some that are open to it in which you can post anytime.



Please, always remember support is just an email away if needed. You've truly

Hi all. When you get the pairing message, you have to double tap the okay 
button on the iPhone.

Also, don't be alarmed if it takes a little while for the braille display too. 
With the phone. Sometimes there is a delay. But, all in all, once you get it

NPR News App Not Accessible? was Re: App Reviews -- it appears the Developers can censor them

2014-05-03 Thread Arnold Schmidt
Perhaps there is more than one NPR news app, but the one I have is called 
NPR news  and is quite accessible.  I use it several times a week to read, 
and listen to stories and listen to the hourly news broadcast.  Just 
before writing this reply, I checked to see if a new update had changed it 
in some way.  For me, it is still very accessible.

Hi Mark,

The 2 apps were The Great Courses app and the MPRNews app.

I don't have copies. Basically, both reviews were about the same.

The title of the reviews were something like this: This app is not 
accessible to or usable by the blind.


The content of the reviews were something like this: Buttons on this site 
are not labelled for reading by VoiceOver, the onboard iOS screen reading 
software. Links are labeled by image title, such as 1050 jpg image which 
do not provide meaningful information for blind users to determine the 
nature of the link. These issues could likely be corrected without a great 
deal of time or effort. Please refer to the Developers App toolkit 
information regarding accessibility at Apple. Please give serious 
consideration to making your website accessible to the blind.


For the Great Courses app, I also included the following at the beginning of 
the review content: I have been in phone contact and email contact with 
customer service on 4 occasions since October 2013. I received an email 
message today from customer service indicating they had no plans to make 
their app accessible to the blind.

  Subject: Grail to the Thief: An Interactive Audio Adventure


  Hi Folks,
  Congratulations to For All To Play 
  They reached their $8,00 KickStarter goal for developing a for Windows, Mac 
OS X, and Linux game.
  They only need $816 to reach their IOS Mobile Version goal in the next 3 days.
  Grail to the Thief: An Interactive Audio Adventure 
  by For All To Play 
  from Worcester, MA 
  Grail to the Thief is an interactive audio adventure for the blind and 
visually impaired.
  for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux that can be played using only sound, without 
the need for visuals. The game has been designed with the needs of the blind 
and visually impaired in mind but is also designed to be played by the 
non-impaired. Our goal is to deliver an exciting, immersive experience in which 
the player will always be fully aware of what is happening through the use of 
voice-overs, sound effects, ambient sound and music.
  In Grail to the Thief, players make their choices through a conversation 
tree, eliminating the confusion and frustration that comes with traditional 
text adventure games, which require players to type in commands to progress. 
The game is a nostalgic throwback to childhood favorites such as Zork, The 
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Day of the Tentacle, and Grim Fandango, and 
draws inspiration from old BBC radio dramas and the movie Time Bandits.
  The game stars Hank Krang, a dirty thief from the near future, who recently 
had a self-aware time machine called the Time Excursion Digital Interface, or 
TEDI, fall into his lap after a poker game. He has decided to use this 
technology to go throughout time, stealing priceless artifacts. On his first 
adventure, Grail to the Thief, Hank travels to Arthurian times in search of the 
Holy Grail.
  The idea for the game came about when we were conducting research into game 
design for the visually impaired. During this time, we conducted interviews at 
Perkins School for the Blind and performed extensive research which led us to 
discover that few games are available to the blind and visually impaired, and 
many of the games that are available are severely dated, lack the quality and 
polish of games for the sighted, and rely on synthesized computer voices such 
as screen readers in order to play.
  Grail to the Thief is designed to address these problems, and the game will 
be just as accessible and exciting an experience for the blind and visually 
impaired as it will be for the non-impaired. Your funding will help us deliver 
an interactive audio adventure with an engaging story, interesting characters, 
professional voiceovers and sound effects, and accessible controls. The game 
will be available as a DRM-free download for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux in 
August 2014.
  Play the Prototype! 
  We developed a browser based prototype of Grail to the Thief. The prototype 
requires Google Chrome or Opera and is accessible at 
foralltoplay.com/prototype. The interface and some of the audio in the 
prototype are placeholder assets and will be replaced in the complete game, 
which will be a standalone executable and will not require a web browser to 
play.

  Help us bring Grail to the Thief to Steam by voting for us on Steam 
Greenlight. Those that pledge $5 or more will receive a Steam key for the game 
upon it being greenlit.

Perhaps there is more than one NPR news app, but the one I have is called NPR 
news  and is quite accessible.  I use it several times a week to read, 
and listen to stories and listen to the hourly news broadcast.  Just 
before writing this reply, I checked to see if a new update had changed it in 
some way.  For me, it is still very accessible.

Hi Mark,

The 2 apps were The Great Courses app and the MPRNews app.

I don't have copies. Basically, both reviews were about the same.

The title of the reviews were something like this: This app is not 
accessible to or usable by the blind.

The content of the reviews were something like this: Buttons on this site 
are not labelled for reading by VoiceOver, the onboard iOS screen reading 
software. Links are labeled by image title, such as 1050 jpg image which 
do not provide meaningful information for blind users to determine the 
nature of the link. These issues could likely be corrected without a great 
deal of time or effort. Please refer to the Developers App toolkit 
information regarding accessibility at Apple. Please give serious 
consideration to making your website accessible to the blind.

For the Great Courses app, I also included the following at the beginning of 
the review content: I have been in phone contact and email contact with 
customer service on 4 occasions since October 2013. I received an email 
message today from customer service indicating they had no plans to make 
their app accessible to the blind.

Hello Keith,

I, too, have experienced this phenomenon.

If I may ask, what are the names of the two apps you reviewed?

Also, if you saved a copy of the reviews, would you consider posting them on
this list?  I, for one, would like to read them.

Hi,

I've sent reviews on 2 different apps this past week, but neither were
posted.

I've written iTunes Store Support about this. They confirmed my reviews were
sent but that apparently they were not posted as the Developers Review
Boards must not have allowed that.

Here is the comment from the iTunes Store Support message: Keith, as I
investigate. There are several reason why your reviews are not posted,
actually your reviews have bent sent but it depends on the developers review
boards to approve it. I'm sorry I can't provide you details regarding this
because we are just for billing, downloading and purchasing. I hope you
understand us.

Does this sound right? Seems like it would defeat the purpose of App Reviews
if Developers can have Review Boards to determine if they'll approve the
review before allowing it to be posted.

By the way, both of my reviews of apps were negative, as neither app was
accessible.

Thanks, Keith

Hi Arnold and All,

I can second your experience with the NPR News App.  I use it often as well, 
and I have had no difficulty in doing so.  I am totally blind and rely on 
VoiceOver completely!  I have had trouble using the NPR Music App.  The news 
one works beautifully though!

RE: Renameing files in dropbox

2014-05-03 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Ioana,

 

I just had a look in the Dropbox app and I also could not see a way to rename a 
file. Easiest way in my book is just to go into the Dropbox folder on the PC 
and rename the file to whatever you want.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi all,

What's a good way to rename a file in DropBox on the iPhone? 
I don't think it's possible from the db app. 

I would also like a better way to move and copy files.

Found some apps but they are not free so would like to know what's accessible. 

Thanks for any tips!


Ioana
