Re: 5s cases
I would suggest the Juice box as it comes with a battery charge and the case seems to make VoiceOver a little louder from the compression of the case. There's not a weird echo, it just seems to come across a little louder. The only drawback and I don't really see this as a draw back it your lighting cable can't charge the phone with the case on, but the bottom of the case is simple enough to slip off and the phone is still sturdy in the case. They also provide you with a charging cable that charges the case and phone so it's like have an additional charge, love it, and the newer cases now come with extra storage if you need it, a quality product.

That is left uncovered, so that you can use Touch ID. The rest of the case is solid though, and feels more solid - the outer case is harder and sturdier to my touch, compared to the softer and flimsier silicone of the 4S case.

RE: Accessibility Features in iOS8
I think we all have to wait and see how efficient this Quick Type thing really is and how quickly a Voiceover user can pick from the selection of words presented. It' one thing for a sighted person to see 4 or 5 words at one glance and to quickly tap one and it's another thing if you have to review the words with Voiceover. I have no idea how Apple will implement this with Voiceover, but I wouldn't jump with joy quite yet and for many Fleksy is a favourite and all of those who use have been longing for the day when Apple would allow system wide access to third-party keyboards. This and Apple's extensibility is quite a game changer as developers of one app now can access information from other apps which previously was not possible. I assume this means potentially different apps could use voices you bought, for example, in Voice Dreamreader. Of course I'm not sure if this is actually the case, but it sounds like it could work that way. Regards, Sieghard .

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Word prediction: That is me too, can never stand the presumption of it, especially if you're trying to do contrived words like some used in commerce or advertising and the like, plays on words. I prefer to make or correct my own mistakes, the only way to learn to do it right. But easy braille input would be a serious boon, even if just the simplest grade1, so long as it was sufficiently standard and gave access to the common-obscure characters - / and a few others we never used in ordinary writing at shcool, but turn up in Net text and links all the time now. If escape sequences get used - press this before you press that! - for it to be at least consistent; 101 different escape codes for as many non-alphaNumerics is an awful overhead to try and get one's head round. Struth, even programming code like C and Pascal had that as a basis. E.g: \ meant use the next symbol literally, not try and interpret it. You can see, state it once, and right away you have a grasp of the whole extended character set. But we'll see!

Re: How to save a picture from a text message
Hi, when you get to the pic or video, view or listen to it. There will be a spot at that point that says, Share. Tap on Share and you now have the options of e-mail, message or save. If you tap save, it will take it to your photo app and you can sort it. It labels it with a date. I do this all the time when my daughter sends me videos of my grand daughter Mackenzie.

Re: How to save a picture from a text message
Hello, I have had a similar issue when trying to save photos from text messages. When you click on the image, find the back button and flick right from there. So once you find the back button, flicking wants will take you to the image, and then flicking again will take you to the share button. Double tap share. Then it will bring up various options, such as message, mail, Facebook, twitter, etc. There is a button further down in that list that says save image. Double tap save image. It will save the picture, but you are not notified that it was saved, but it is, in fact, saved in your camera roll.

Re: How to save a picture from a text message
Glad it worked out. I wanted to also mention the item list. If you have the image open and you flick past the share button, the next button is the item list. It lists all of the photos in a text thread. I find this helpful, particularly since my rather large family has adopted the practice of group texting several times a day. Since there are 12 of us in the group text, multiple texts will come in at the same time. I very easily could miss photos that were texted because I can't keep up with all of them as they come in. The item list shows me how many pictures came in, and I can make sure that I have saved them all individually without trying to read through the entire thread.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Certainly, the ability to have other keyboards system wide is a great improvement. There wre 2 things I was hoping for that it appears we will not be getting. First, the ability to install other voices and use them system wide. Each person has their own voice preferences, but at this point, any new voices that are installed can only be used with one application.

iDevice holder
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows of a type of small discreet holder where I can place my iPod Touch when I'm not carrying it? For example, when I'm in the kitchen busy cooking, cleaning, washing, whatever, I like placing my iDevice away from me so I don't accidentally destroy it. Placing it away from me also makes it easier to listen to audio as the speaker isn't muffled the times it is in my pocket. The problem is that at times I forget where I have placed it. Like I've said, I can simply place the iDevice on a counter, but I've forgotten it was on the counter and luckily nothing serious has happened so far when knocking it off of the counter. I do have to admit that I once carried lots of stuff from one room to another so placed my iPod touch in my back pocket thinking I could not possibly forget it, but as soon as someone engaged me in conversation, I forgot I had the thing in my pocket and I went to sit down. luckily I quickly remembered the device was in my back pocket and quickly got up to check for a cracked screen and alike. Smile. I guess I'm asking if anyone here has purchased or knows of a type of case one can stick to the side of a refrigerator or cabinet which can hold and iPhone or iPod touch. I'd also like to stick one of these to my bed frame and alike for equally quick access to my iDevice. I've tried running a search on Amazon.com, but all I've found was those cases used to place GPS devices on car windshields. Would appreciate any ideas the list can provide.

Re: iDevice holder
Hello Joseph, and also others on the list who are wondering about this question concerning a carrying case for eye devices. I've been using the iPhone five for almost a year and a half to two years. I find the OtterBox defender carrying case which clips to a holster or belt clip holster that I could wear around my waist. It is the strongest case that I have had in a while, and there is a lifetime warranty on the cases. I think you might be able to acquire one from a store or you could probably send to OtterBox manufacturers themselves, and they might be able to have one or send you one for your device. A friend of mine has an OtterBox defender case for his iPad mini. That is why I was mentioning it they might have one for the device that you have. Hope this helps. All the best! Michael G.

RE: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Hello Haya, As Christopher pointed out, mid to late September is usually the time frame. Basically, iOS 8 is typically released a few days before new iPhones will ship and within a week or so after the September keynote when the new phones are announced. If Apple follows the pattern they established over the last 3 or so years the announcement will be during the second week of September with the new phones shipping 10 or so days later. I never did believe the rumours which briefly circulated on the list about an iPhone 6 getting announced yesterday. For the main part there is no way they could have kept an imminent announcement of a new phone so quiet. Apart from some pictures which are supposed of the new iPhone nothing much is out yet. If I hear anything as to whether Hebrew will be included in iOS 8 I'll let you know.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Well, my iPhone for is still running version 6X. I seem to remember noting that version eight will not be available for the four. So, I will leave before running that version. Why? Because it holds the battery power much more efficiently than version 7X. Also, because I like to do the online cryptic crossword with the guardian and this is simply not possible with more recent updates to I OS.

Re: iDevice holder
Thank you Michael for your contribution, but like I described in my original post, I'm looking for a type of Velcro or stick on holder for my iDevice which can be placed somewhere permanently and away from me.

I've been using the iPhone five for almost a year and a half to two years. I find the OtterBox defender carrying case which clips to a holster or belt clip holster that I could wear around my waist.

You can put the password in with your braille display but you have to have contractions off and I think it matters whether eight-dot is on or off too but I can't remember which way it has to be. You should hear a sound shortly after you hit the power button to unlock and braille from the unlock screen should be visible on your display; then you just go to the password field if necessary and type in your passcode. If it doesn't work, I immediately do a chord-g because it usually means I have contractions on.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
When using handwriting to enter a PIN, I find it very useful to exaggerate the distinctive features of a number. For example, I type the 7 as a 90Degree angle beginning from left to right then down. I type the number 4 backwards--beginning from the bottom up then down to draw the angle and sharp corners. I generally draw letters as squarely or blockish as possible. For example, the letter U looks like a square with the top missing. The letter H is equally as blockish. If you can get into the habit of drawing the following letters as blockish as possible, you will find your writing speed will increase: c, f, h, j, n, t, u. In some cases, I find I get better results when typing capital letters such as an upper case T rather than lower case t. I should also Note that if the rotor is set to lower case, when one types a letter as a capital, it will still be entered as a lower case letter. It is for this reason I suggest experimenting to determine what form of the letter is easiest and fastest to draw. I've now found I rarely use the on-screen keyboard as handwriting is much faster.

RE: iDevice holder
Joseph, I would suggest a simple plastic case and some magnetic tape. Or, I just got a fun product off Amazon from IPlush. It is a stuffed Teddy bear. In one of the legs is a speaker that feels much like a spool of thread. It has a 3.5 jack on a short cord to plug into the earphone port of your phone/touch. It also charges via USB and is supposed to have a battery life of 6 hours. There doesn't appear to be an on/off switch, so I am guessing when it is plugged into the phone/touch it is running off battery for amplification. It really sounds quite good. In the back of the stuffed animal is a square formed with a wire sewn into the fur you slip the phone/touch into. I don't have a direct link, but check for IPlush on Amazon. It was about $10. I think there were two models of bears and different ones for Iphone 4/4S and 5/5S.

For example, when I'm in the kitchen busy cooking, cleaning, washing, whatever, I like placing my iDevice away from me so I don't accidentally destroy it. Placing it away from me also makes it easier to listen to audio as the speaker isn't muffled the times it is in my pocket. The problem is that at times I forget where I have placed it. Like I've said, I can simply place the iDevice on a counter, but I've forgotten it was on the counter and luckily nothing serious has happened so far when knocking it off of the counter. I do have to admit that I once carried lots of stuff from one room to another so placed my iPod touch in my back pocket thinking I could not possibly forget it, but as soon as someone engaged me in conversation, I forgot I had the thing in my pocket and I went to sit down. luckily I quickly remembered the device was in my back pocket and quickly got up to check for a cracked screen and alike. Smile. I guess I'm asking if anyone here has purchased or knows of a type of case one can stick to the side of a refrigerator or cabinet which can hold and iPhone or iPod touch. I'd also like to stick one of these to my bed frame and alike for equally quick access to my iDevice. I've tried running a search on Amazon.com, but all I've found was those cases used to place GPS devices on car windshields. Would appreciate any ideas the list can provide.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
With iCloud Drive, you will (sort of) have what you are looking for. As I understand it, you can browse your iCloud Drive from any compatible app, including all the folders therein. Once an app supports iCloud in iOS8, that functionality is there.

I have no idea how Apple will implement this with Voiceover, but I wouldn't jump with joy quite yet and for many Fleksy is a favourite and all of those who use have been longing for the day when Apple would allow system wide access to third-party keyboards. This and Apple's extensibility is quite a game changer as developers of one app now can access information from other apps which previously was not possible. I assume this means potentially different apps could use voices you bought, for example, in Voice Dreamreader. Of course I'm not sure if this is actually the case, but it sounds like it could work that way. Regards, Sieghard .

From: David Chittenden Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2014 5:14 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Voice over and languages When the languages is set on default language, a different language tag causes VO to switch to the different language. Place at least one additional language in the rotor. Turn the rotor to language. Flick from default language to the same language in the rotor. Now, everything will be spoken in the language chosen, if said language can handle the material. If not, the material will be skipped.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Fleksy is a keyboard app that lets you type very quickly. It takes the locations you touched to enter a word and, when you swipe right, it guesses the word. You can therefore touch roughly where you think the proper letters would be, swipe right, and have the word you meant inserted. Many people really like it, and it has begun to be integrated into iOS apps like Blindsquare and Tweetings. Soon, though, it can be made into a default keyboard across the entire OS.

Re: Contacts list export?r
Hello Bill. Just download and install the ICloud Control Panel. It will create an ICloud mail box with a folder that contains your Contacts folder. When you make changes they are updated on all of your devices. ICloud Control Panel will also synch your callendars and bookmarks.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
In the announcements this week, it said that IOS 8 would be supported on the iPhone 4S and later. Performance improvements can always be made in an OS to keep it running on older hardware, take IOS 7.1.1 on the 4S for example. I suspect you're right though. There's not much incentive to keep improving performance on older hardware and there's a lot of reason to take advantage of the faster speeds and newer features on the newer hardware.

Re: iCloud syncing and iCloud and native app
1. No, iOS needs iTunes to sync ringtones. You can buy one right from a phone, but that is the only other way I know of. 2. Yes. Simply enable Mail, create your email address if you don't already have one @icloud.com, and you're done. Note that you cannot use that iCloud address for your Apple ID, as technically it is a new ID in its own right. I don't really understand how it all works, but the bottom line is you need a non-Apple address as your ID. Hopefully this changes in the near future.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Well, iOS devices are not thumb drives, and I doubt you will ever be able to use one as such without a third-party app of some kind. That said, if an app integrates the upcoming iCloud Drive option, you will have basically what you are seeking, on an app-by-app basis. For example, say you edit a PDF in a Mac app. you can drop it anywhere in your iCloud Drive, then use some app on iOS to browse to and open that file. If Voice Dream were to support iCloud Drive, imagine dumping zipped Daisy books into the drive, then opening them in VDR. I hope I'm making sense.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Hello All, Here's a work around solution. On my Mac Air, I have installed Win 8 into bootcamp. I use One Drive, which is installed on the Win 8 side as well as the Mac side on my Mac Air and i have also installed the One Drive app on my iPhone 4. I have no problem accessing any of my files on the different platforms or on the phone. One Drive is very similar to Dropbox in the manner on how it works. Just a suggestion to access files/folders from both platforms. HTH.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
I'm not sure iCloud Drive would satisfy those people who want to be able to access their iPhone like a thumb drive. iCloud Drive would still only work on an app by app basis. You couldn't copy your music over in the folder structure you want, unless the Music app supported iCloud Drive and then 5G won't go very far. I too would like this feature myself, i.e. accessing the underlying folder and file structure of the iPhone, but this isn't an oversight on Apple's part. It's part of the design of the iPhone. I'd be surprised if Apple were to change this any time soon, and for me at least, it just became part of the decision making process. I'm getting an easier to use, more accessible and more secure device at the cost of being able to access the underlying file structure of the iPhone.

RE: Accessibility Features in iOS8
I'm guessing the lack of a file system was not an oversight. How many people would stop using iTunes if they could move files back and forth from their device to their computer or other devices? I'm thinking Apple did this intentionally for this and other reasons to protect their proprietary personality. After trying to purchase DropBox, which would have gotten them a lot closer to making file transfers easier, they are now about to offer their own version of a DropBox like system. It's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just an Apple way of doing things. But I don't think a company like Apple with all its brain power would have simply forgotten to include a file system.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Neal, you might be right, but also, the structure of file access has to do with the apps on an iPhone having limited interaction with other apps. I'm not a developer or engineer, but basically, this makes for a lot of security, so there are few holes that can be hacked into. This makes browsing a transparent file structure difficult. Whatever the under-the-hood capabilities that have been implemented, it will be more feasible in iOs8 for apps to share information with each other while hopefully maintaining a high security level.

Re: Accessibility Features in iOS8
Good point Neal. I'm also thinking not exposing the iOS file system probably serves to prevent viruses or file corruption as well as preventing problems with accidental or deliberate deletion of important system files. Yes, I too would like an easier way to move files back and forth, but I also like that iOS devices simply work and are extremely reliable. The reason there are so many listers here and overall iDevice users both young and older is because of iOS' ease of use, stability, and reliability. In other words, apple seems to have the mindset of you drive the car, and let us worry about the performance and maintenance. For anyone who has ever worked with hotrod cars and motorcycles, you will know it's time consuming and a headache as well as endless tinkering--much like Windows.

Just as a side note, Apple's iOS devices uses a linux-based file structure. If any of you have ever used a Linux computer, or taken a close look at the structure of files on OS X, that's exactly how it works. It has a /etc, /sys, and /home directory, just like Linux, and has an additional /applications/ directory where applications are curated into their own folders. The sandboxing aspect is completely OS software-based.

I'm not a developer or engineer, but basically, this makes for a lot of security, so there are few holes that can be hacked into. This makes browsing a transparent file structure difficult. Whatever the under-the-hood capabilities that have been implemented, it will be more feasible in iOs8 for apps to share information with each other while hopefully maintaining a high security level.
