That is a wonderful idea, and I think I will do that because i was 
getting a bit depressed thinking I'd have to figure out which menu went 
where.  I had to do that on these tvs with my Sky Angel receiver and it 
truthfully was a nuisance, and I didn't watch that service as much as I 
would have simply because i didn't want the hassle.  So I was halfway 
thnking of returning the Apple tv just  because first I don't have much 
in the way of help in setting up, though i can get it, and then the 
nuisance of changing menus just didn't appeal to me.

Now, with your suggestion, I have hope.
Thanks so much,
Patti

Hello Patti,

I've only just tuned into this thread but it sounds like you've been given
some excellent help.

You know, we, as technology consumers,  take so many things for granted
these days.  For example, I have my Apple TV connected to my big-screen
television along with a DVD player, a digital cable box receiver, etc.  And,
when I want to switch from watching Cable to the Apple TV, I use the
television's input selector.  I am fortunate enough to enjoy a level of
residual vision that allows me to do this comfortably.

As I began reading this thread I asked myself what I would do if I lost the
remainder of my vision and was totally blind.  How would I reliably know
which input on the television was selected?  This question returns me to the
statement that we technology consumers take so many things for granted.  In
this instance, I am referring to the fact that many consumers assume that
using the television's input selector is the only way to determine what is
being streamed out to the television set.  I guess this stems from the law
of conservatism.  That is, most of us want to accomplish more and more tasks
while using less and less hardware.

This explains the ever increasing popularity of the universal remote control
versus device-specific remote controls, among sighted people.

As a low vision consumer, I find that the more devices I attempt to control
with an off-the-shelf universal remote, (1) generally requires more effort
and (2) results in less accuracy.  Consequently, I prefer to use
device-specific remote controls so that I can commit their various layouts
to muscle memory.

I employ the same philosophy when purchasing office equipment.  No
printer/fax/scanner combos here.  Simply stated, my scanner can only scan,
my printer only prints and my fax, well you get the idea.  The primary
benefit to me is that, since I only need to send a fax once or twice every
two months or so, the fax machine, being only a fax machine, has remarkably
few buttons.  Therefore, even if I don't use the fax very often, all things
being equal, all I need to do is place a sheet of paper in the proper place,
dial the telephone number, and press the big button on the lower left.  Get
it?  If I were to use a combination printer/scanner/fax machine, unless I
faxed on a regular basis, it is highly unlikely that I would remember the
proper sequence of non-accessible hardware-panel soft-control commands
necessary to switch the device to fax mode.

What does any of this have to do with your new Apple TV?

Before all of these remarkably sophisticated digital televisions, with their
multiple input channels, were introduced to the market, we old-timers, who
wanted to view external media from remote devices such as VCR consoles,
gaming machines, etc through one television, used hardware video
switchboxes.

In fact, I used video switchboxes for over ten years in order to accomplish
what was then considered an amazing breakthrough in consumer consumption.
The most relevant aspect of this for those of us who are either blind or low
vision is that the switchboxes used good old-fashion hardware push-buttons.


Allow me to digress for just a moment:
At one time, I used a video switchbox along with an audio switchbox in
combination with my television and stereo in combination with my Cable box,
gaming console, and VCR recorder.  The net result was that, among other
things, I could watch and record my video games while simultaneously
listening to the television broadcast of my choice, while at the same time
recording a second show and seamlessly switch between the various audio
and/or video, inputs, independently, with the press of one or at most, two
buttons.

Once, during that time, I had the cable company send someone out to my house
in order to repair an outside connection.  When the cable guy came into my
living room and saw my setup, he offered to pay me to set his media center
up the same way.  My setup looked like something you'd find in a
Frankenstein movie but it worked and it was the envy of all who saw it, back
then.  I do so miss those days (smile).

Okay, getting back to the point.

Patti, should you choose, you can go to your local RadioShaq, or someplace
similar, and purchase a digital video switchbox which will allow you to use
hardware buttons to select the various input

2014-05-23 Thread Fred Olver

Very good idea, Mark, however, don't you have to have inputs for each of the 
devices on the switch box? and so the question begs, does the switch box 
have an HDMI input as well as other types?

Hi Cornelius and Isaac, first about Cornelius welcome to the world
of iPhones. Into Isaac no you don't have to unlock the screen
talking up a call, you can double tap on it twice while the screen
is locked and it will hang up that is with using a 5S Curnalia's,
I'm not for sure which phone you're using but I am pretty sure
with the five it'll work this way as well.

Hi,

You can't use the two-finger double-tap when the screen is locked.
If you're using headphones, you can use the middle button to hang
up. Otherwise, you'll need to unlock the screen and then do the
two-finger double-tap.

Best,

I use the two-finger double tap to hang up calls all the time,
without having to unlock the screen. I can't speak to anybody
else's situation, but it works on my iPhone 5. I think that
hanging up a call is the only time the two-finger double tap works
on the locked screen, it does not work for anything else unless I
unlock it.

Re: apple tv

Hi Mark, Patty and Interested Others,

Mark, your suggestion is an excellent one.  I'll offer another option Patty for 
you to consider.  I had the exact same problem of switching sources to go from 
regular TV to the Apple TV.  I knew the sequence, but it didn't always take and 
of course, there was no audible feedback, I just didn't always hear VoiceOver 
when Apple TV was supposed to have started.  I stumbled across a solution by 
going to my cable provider's tech support department, Time Warner in my case.  
After the rep understood the issue, we worked out a system whereby I have much 
more reliable results.  A lot depends on how your remotes were programmed. I 
use my Time Warner remote to power on our TV, I then use the TV remote which 
remains always on since I get no audible feedback when it is off or on.  I then 
move down to the source, HDMI1 and press select.  Apple TV loads and I can then 
use the Apple TV remote as usual.  The nice thing is that when I wish to go 
back to regular TV, I just press one button on my TV
 remote and I have the last channel I was watching, sound and all.  As I 
stated, this was worked out with a tech support rep at Time Warner, just 
substitute your cable provider.  Anyway, just something to try before you go 
out and purchase anything.  Good luck.

Hi Mark, Patty and Interested Others,

Mark, your suggestion is an excellent one.  I'll offer another option Patty for 
you to consider.  I had the exact same problem of switching sources to go from 
regular TV to the Apple TV.  I knew the sequence, but it didn't always take and 
of course, there was no audible feedback, I just didn't always hear VoiceOver 
when Apple TV was supposed to have started.  I stumbled across a solution by 
going to my cable provider's tech support department, Time Warner in my case.  
After the rep understood the issue, we worked out a system whereby I have much 
more reliable results.  A lot depends on how your remotes were programmed. I 
use my Time Warner remote to power on our TV, I then use the TV remote which 
remains always on since I get no audible feedback when it is off or on.  I then 
move down to the source, HDMI1 and press select.  Apple TV loads and I can then 
use the Apple TV remote as usual.  The nice thing is that when I wish to go 
back to regular TV, I just press one button on my TV
  remote and I have the last channel I was watching, sound and all.  As I 
stated, this was worked out with a tech support rep at Time Warner, just 
substitute your cable provider.  Anyway, just something to try before you go 
out and purchase anything.  Good luck.

Hello Patti,

I've only just tuned into this thread but it sounds like you've been given
some excellent help.

You know, we, as technology consumers,  take so many things for granted
these days.  For example, I have my Apple TV connected to my big-screen
television along with a DVD player, a digital cable box receiver, etc.  And,
when I want to switch from watching Cable to the Apple TV, I use the
television's input selector.  I am fortunate enough to enjoy a level of
residual vision that allows me to do this comfortably.

As I began reading this thread I asked myself what I would do if I lost the
remainder of my vision and was totally blind.  How would I reliably know
which input on the television was selected?  This question returns me to the
statement that we technology consumers take so many things for granted.  In
this instance, I am referring to the fact that many consumers assume that
using the television's input selector is the only way to determine what is
being streamed out to the television set.  I guess this stems from the law
of conservatism.  That is, most of us want to accomplish more and more tasks
while using less and less hardware.

This explains the ever increasing popularity of the universal remote control
versus device-specific remote controls, among sighted people.

As a low vision consumer, I find that the more devices I attempt to control
with an off-the-shelf universal remote, (1) generally requires more effort
and (2) results in less accuracy.  Consequently, I prefer to use
device-specific remote controls so that I can commit their various layouts
to muscle memory.

I employ the same philosophy when purchasing office equipment.  No
printer/fax/scanner combos here.  Simply stated, my scanner can only scan,
my printer only prints and my fax, well you get the idea.  The primary
benefit to me is that, since I only need to send a fax once or twice every
two months or so, the fax machine, being only a fax machine, has remarkably
few buttons.  Therefore, even if I don't use the fax very often, all things
being equal, all I need to do is place a sheet of paper in the proper place,
dial the telephone number, and press the big button on the lower left.  Get
it?  If I were to use a combination printer/scanner/fax machine, unless I
faxed on a regular basis, it is highly unlikely that I would remember the
proper sequence of non-accessible hardware-panel soft-control commands
necessary to switch the device to fax mode.

What does any of this have to do with your new Apple TV?

Before all of these remarkably sophisticated digital televisions, with their
multiple input channels, were introduced

Can Voice Dream Move Forward and Backward with the Earpod Remote?

2014-05-23 Thread Alan Lemly

I'm a huge fan of Voice Dream Reader and have been following the thread
about how it handles playback rewind and fast forward in response to the
AGOGO app discussion. I have been using my iPhone 5 for all my book reading
and really enjoy listening with it in my pocket where I can control playback
using the remote and volume buttons on my earpods. Does anyone know of a
workaround that allows rewind of Voice Dream playback using the remote
button? Unless I'm missing something, I can only move backward and forward
in Voice Dream using the gesture-based swipes to move the set increments. I
figured if another method was available, someone here would know about it.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Alan Lemly

 I use the two-finger double tap to hang up calls all the time, without 
 having to unlock the screen. I can't speak to anybody else's situation, but 
 it works on my iPhone 5. I think that hanging up a call is the only time the

 Hello Mike,
 
 Thank you for posting this.  You know, I discovered this bug and mentioned
 it on this list some time ago only I perceived it as being a volume glitch
 in, so much as when the microphone is active, so to speak, VoiceOver volume
 decreases, slightly.  The solution you posted does work well and it is the
 one I will use until this bug has been squashed. .  
 
 My original solution was to open the Music app and begin playing a song for
 1 second.  This always restored the volume to its original level.  I had no
 idea, until reading your post to this list on this matter, that the decrease
 in volume was because of an active microphone.  After reading this post, I
 now realize that by playing a song, I was inadvertently disabling the
 microphone.
 
 I'm glad Apple is aware of this; thanks again.
 
 In The Journey,
 
 Mark

 Subject: a bug in I O S 7
 
 Hey everyone, a friend of mine told me about a bug he read about, and I can
 confirm that it does exist. Perhaps this will help if you use the dictation
 feature. I had actually noticed something interesting on my iphone 5c, I
 would go to bed with a battery level of around 50 percent, and wake up and
 it would be 35 percent or lower. Here is the issue. If you use dictation,
 once you are done, the phone stops translating your text, but the microphone
 remains on and continues listening. This will drain your battery much
 faster. To get around this until Apple fixes it, after dictating and
 receiving your text, hold the home button until you hear the siri tone. You
 don't have to say anything to siri, just wait for the tone then release the
 home button, that should turn the microphone off. When doing this, my
 battery goes down much slower. 
 Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

 Hi, Sieghard. I've actually done  what you've suggested a few times.
 Currently there are three updates I cannot execute, and the phone has

 The odd thing is, one of the apps will not even uninstall from the

 turn it back on.
 Now try to update, instead of doing this from the app store, you may just
 have to doiuble tap on whichever app or apps didn't work before.
 If this doesn't work just wait until tomorrow and try again, it could just
 be a temporary issue with the app store.

  I have used the 60 Minutes app, though not in the past month  or so. When

  Hi,



  I’m looking for the ability to watch SixtyMinutes on my own time.



  Does anyone know if the full SixtyMinutes program is on the CBS News app, 
and if the app is accessible?



  The SixtyMinutes app is $4.99. Does anyone have it or know if it’s 
accessible? Also, do you know if it’s an annual charge or a one-time purchase. 
It wasn’t clear from the iTunes Store description. 



  Thanks. Keith

RE: List of Bluetooth keyboard commands for iOS

 Hi all,
 
 I just finished going over about 14 pages of the AppleVis podcast and
 forum
 entries regarding Bluetooth keyboards. Though I found some good leads,
it
 appears lots of the information goes back quite a bit in time. I'm
hoping
 someone might convey a recent list of commands for external Bluetooth
 keyboards on iOS 7. Does such a list of commands exist?
 
 I also just received the Amazon Basics keyboard so many on this list
are
 using, and I really do like it. Smile. I do have a problem with it in
 that
 it takes about 25 seconds for my iPod to pickup the Bluetooth signal if
I
 turn off the keyboard then turn it back on. I listened to Raul's demo,
and
 his keyboard turned on within 5 seconds or less. Is there a way to
 increase
 the Bluetooth connection time?
 
 I had an interesting shopping experience at Amazon.com. I purchased the
 keyboard, and they delivered it the very same day--that's some great
 service. I thought it would cost me an arm and a leg, but normal UPS
 ground
 delivery was only $1.50 less and would take 3 or 5 days. For same day
 delivery, $1.50 more was definitely worth it. I don't know how
Amazon.com
 could pull this off so quickly, but they did. Must have been one of
their
 new octo-copters which flew over my house and dropped the thing off.
 Smile.
 
 Again, any help with a list of Bluetooth keyboard commands will be
greatly
 appreciated!

Of course, Android in earlier versions was not as accessible as Apple was in

Both platforms are accessible, but they work differently, it's like 
comparing apples and oranges. You can perform all of the major tasks 
that you could want on both of them. Android is certainly more 
customizable, and you can do things such as replace the system 
keyboard, use a different home screen, etc.

Re: keyboard cases question

I am assuming your asking about the cases that have a builtin QWERTY keyboard.  
The case I have for my iPad Air uses  rechargeable battery.  Mine lasts around 
2 weeks to 3 weeks and I get quite a bit of email.  I can use the keyboard wile 
it is recharging and it takes about 90 minutes to fully charge the keyboard.  
If it goes dead, your pressing keys and nothing happens.  So all that's needed 
is to connect the charging cable to either a USB port on a computer or your 
iPhone's charging cube.  When it's plugged in, just wait a few seconds and 
start typing again.  Or, if you like, you can leave it plugged in.

Re: aftershokz headphones

2014-05-23 Thread Kristeen Hughes

Yes, I know and appreciate that, but it doesn't matter how I hold them and/or 
for how long. I guess it was the original Bluez, but they were expensive, so I 
won't be able to update them. I can hold the phone in my fingertips and it 
still wasn't useful.

 A Bluetooth headset or speaker cutting out is typically more a result of its

 It's a good idea to know if the Bluetooth modem in the headset is on the left

 Bluetooth 3.0 and 4.0 devices are to some degree dealing with this, but it

Re: Can Voice Dream Move Forward and Backward with the Earpod Remote?

Hi Alan,

yes, the standard rewind and fast forward commands move by the increment you 
select. So double-click the middle button to go forward your selected amount of 
time, or triple-click to move back.

Best,

Re: Any comparison between android kitkat version on google phones versus Iphone devices

2014-05-23 Thread Alex Hall

No, it's not safe to assume that. I recently read a top 10 accessibility 
wishes for Android 4.5 article, and many features were rather concerning. For 
example, the author hoped to one day be able to navigate text by line properly, 
or use the default browser, Chrome, efficiently. Android can be customized to 
be more accessible, but you have to find the right apps, packages, launchers, 
and so on to fit your needs and taste. If at all possible, get ahold of an 
Android device you can return, and play with it for a while, relying on Google 
or the Eyes-free Google email list for help. If you don't like it, you can 
return it. Android has its good points, but set up a try before you buy if 
you possibly can.

 Both platforms are accessible, but they work differently, it's like 
 comparing apples and oranges. You can perform all of the major tasks 
 that you could want on both of them. Android is certainly more 
 customizable, and you can do things such as replace the system 
 keyboard, use a different home screen, etc.

You should check the settings. Go into Settings from the main VDR screen and

RE: aftershokz headphones

Get in touch with their Custormer Service. I understand they have been very 
helpful to some on this list. Who knows? Maybe you got a defective set, and 
they'll send you a replacement!

Yes, I know and appreciate that, but it doesn't matter how I hold them and/or 
for how long. I guess it was the original Bluez, but they were expensive, so I 
won't be able to update them. I can hold the phone in my fingertips and it 
still wasn't useful.

Hi Christine,

A Bluetooth headset or speaker cutting out is typically more a result of its 
connection to the phone. If, for example, you put on a Bluetooth headset and 
then clamp your phone under your armpit most of them cut out because your body, 
which is 70% water, blocks the signal.

It's a good idea to know if the Bluetooth modem in the headset is on the left 
or on the right and then to keep your phone on the same side.

Bluetooth 3.0 and 4.0 devices are to some degree dealing with this, but it 
could still be an issue.

 Hi Patty,

 As Larry already pointed out, the Apple TV gives you access to iTunes 
 for renting and buying movies and if you are a Netflix subscriber then 
 it's probably the nicest and most accessible way to consume Netflix 
 content. It's also great for Youtube.

 If your TV has multiple HDMI inputs you do have to be able to select 
 these depending on what you want to watch. For example, let's assume 
 you have your cable box connected to HDMI 1, a blueray DVD player to 
 HDMI 2 and your Apple TV to HDMI 3, then you do have to be able to 
 select your input on the TV depending on what you want to watch. Often 
 this is done via a single button which invokes a menu on the TV and 
 you then have to arrow to the input/source you want and select it.
 This may not be the most accessible thing to do, but you would have to 
 maybe aska sighted friend or family member to help you with this.

 Now, as for the Apple TV, had you posted to the list that you were 
 looking to get one I would have advised you to wait until Monday, June 
 2. This is when Apple will have it's world wide developer conference 
 and when iOS 8 will be introduced.
 There are a lot of rumours according to which Apple may announce the 
 next generation Apple TV during this event and that it will be much 
 more advanced. There will most likely be an app store for the Apple TV 
 which means you can get apps for various services and maybe games and 
 so on and the talk is also that the Apple TV may very well become a 
 complete replacement for your current set top box.
 There are also rumours that the Apple TV will have SIRI and that the 
 remote may accept voice commands.
 Now, having said all this, they are of course rumours and I guess 
 we'll find out in a week and a half if any of them are true. Did you 
 purchase your Apple TV from Apple directly? If so you probably have 
 time to return it should something really cool be announced. If not at 
 least the apple TV only costs $99 which is not so much compared to 
 what most other Apple devices cost.

 Sieghard

Yes, each time you want to watch cable or Apple TV you will have to select
the correct input.

Oh rats.  I didn't know all this, t hough I had heard earlier there could be
changes, but then nothing happened, grin.
I bought it from Best Buy and it was a few dollars off the regular price.

Well, I guess I'll just ha ve to have some one help me know which port to
use and change the menu on the tv.
So does this mean I ha ve to change the menu back when I want to watch my
Cable?

Thanks for everyone's help, I'm sure I'll get there with this thing.

 Hi Patty,

 As Larry already pointed out, the Apple TV gives you access to iTunes 
 for renting and buying movies and if you are a Netflix subscriber then 
 it's probably the nicest and most accessible way to consume Netflix 
 content. It's also great for Youtube.

 If your TV has multiple HDMI inputs you do have to be able to select 
 these depending on what you want to watch. For example, let's assume 
 you have your cable box connected to HDMI 1, a blueray DVD player to 
 HDMI 2 and your Apple TV to HDMI 3, then you do have to be able to 
 select your input on the TV depending on what you want to watch. Often 
 this is done via a single button which invokes a menu on the TV and 
 you then have to arrow to the input/source you want and select it.
 This may not be the most accessible thing to do, but you would have to 
 maybe aska sighted friend or family member to help you with this.

 Now, as for the Apple TV, had you posted to the list that you were 
 looking to get one I would have advised you to wait until Monday, June 
 2. This is when Apple will have it's world wide developer conference 
 and when iOS 8 will be introduced.
 There are a lot of rumours according to which Apple may announce the 
 next generation Apple TV during this event and that it will be much 
 more advanced. There will most likely be an app store for the Apple TV 
 which means you can get apps for various services and maybe games and 
 so on and the talk is also that the Apple TV may very well become a 
 complete replacement for your current set top box.
 There are also rumours that the Apple TV will have SIRI and that the 
 remote may accept voice commands.
 Now, having said all this, they are of course rumours and I guess 
 we'll find out in a week and a half if any of them are true. Did you 
 purchase your Apple TV from Apple directly? If so you probably have 
 time to return it should something really cool be announced. If not at 
 least the apple TV only costs $99 which is not so much compared to 
 what most other Apple devices cost.

 Regards,
 Sieghard

 Oh!  I see.  I did get the hdmi cable or howevery ou spell it;  I have
 3 ports on the tv to choose from, not sure which to use though.
 I didn't think there was a battery in the remote but I got a sighed 
 friend to look at that and she said there is.
 So given that there is one maybe I need to work with it some more.
 I am still a bit confused a bout how it works on the tv in conjunction 
 with cable, does it overide the box, do I need to switch menus on the tv?

I thought about getting one of these but now I have an iPad mini I 
cannot justify the $99.

I don't even use the TV with my apple TV. I use a soundbar that has an
optical audio input. Connect the Apple TV to the soundbar, set it's input to
digital audio, and get great sound.
