Re: How to properly restart your iDevice
I have an old Nokia, that gives a quick spurt to the vibrate when starting, so you know it's starting.

Re: How to properly restart your iDevice

Re: Looking for a good Bluetooth keyboard recommendation
I've never used it, but Jenny posted to the list recently about this keyboard. I'll put what she wrote in her message below. In the meantime I wanted to pass along a tip on a great little Bluetooth keyboard that costs half as much as the Logitech K810. It is the Sharkk 3.0 bluetooth keyboard. It is a tiny bit smaller than the Logitech and it supports all 3 operating systems, iOS, Windows and Android all on the one keyboard. You use simple commands to switch between them. Unlike the Logitech the function keys are regular function keys meaning if you use it with Windows keystrokes like alt+f4, insert+f11 etc all work where as on the Logitech you would need to download and install utility to make that work. It has great battery life and for those who want it it is back lit with a choice of 7 colors and brightnesses. Perhaps the best part is that it only costs $29.99. I own one and a friend of mine just got one and both he and his wife like it much better then the Rivo keyboard which they say is much to tiny. She says she wished she had one of these instead.Btw, it defaults to iOS for the keyboard configuration.

This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Hi everyone. Long ago i had an IPad first generation and even an IPad 2nd generation but we never became friends. Every time i tried to do a swiping gesture, the ipad thought i wanted to go down a row or something. Now i’m not good at going in totally streight lines so that may likely have caused this issue, so i sold the pads. Now however i’m thinking of getting myself one of these Mini retina thingimajigs, but i’m also thinking why would i want an ipad in the first place, so that’s the question i ask you. What if anything do you iphone and ipad owners use one device for and not the other? What works better on a pad then on a phone or vice versa? Is a Mini really easier to navigate than an Air or the like? Thanks for any answer. /Krister -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
You might want to wait until after September to bring up this question as there might also be an iPad announcement in September when the new iPhone is announced. this is definitely one of those topics which will generate tons of speculation, which is just that, speculation, and this same subject matter will appear once again in September.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Hi, The sad truth is that I hardly use my iPad at all. NB: this won't change when the next iPad is announced unless they shrink it down to the size of an iPhone which isn't going to happen for reasons that are hopefully obvious. I find browsing the internet to be more pleasurable on an iPad than it is on an iPhone as I'm into feeling the layout of pages, but I still use a computer for this sort of thing by default. Every now and again I'll be out and about for a few days I'll be without a laptop which would be a good oppertunity for my iPad to shine, but I tend to take a bluetooth keyboard with me for these trips anyway, so the touch screen doesn't get that much use. I've purchased two iPads so far with the intent of finding a use for them, but for me at least, there isn't really a space in my life for a device that isn't a phone or a PC. Cheers, Ben.

Re: Kindle Ap
I'm not sure why you've heard conflicting reports. The Kindle app does indeed work and is accessible on the iPhone. If there's something you want to do with it that you're afraid won't work, maybe you need to be more specific about your concerns. I read lots and lots of books with mostly my braille display but also by starting scrolling and just listening but if there is something more complicated you want to do that is causing you to think you should get the actual Kindle, ask about that. I have one of the old Kindles - I think now it would be called a keyboard Kindle - and I hardly use it any more, but I realize the newer Kindle stand-alone machines may be more accessible. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Nothing in particular other than reading books. Several people told me they had a difficult time reading with the Ap but had no problem with the stand-alone.

RE: Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution
It seems that you have to go through the whole name. You would choose how the first name is spoken, then the last. Also, I believe you have to do it to each contact with that last name.

I have a few contacts where the first names are okay, but I would want to change the surname spoken. Thanks for an interesting topic. Jan Kleinhans- Original Message - From: Joseph FreeTech joseph.freet...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 26, 2014 12:46 PM Subject: Teaching Siri to pronounce names - Solution Ok all, couldn't resist, so I experimented a bit more, and here is how I used Siri to change how it pronounces odd names: 1. Ask Siri to Contact x (where X is the person with the oddly spoken name). 2. Regardless of Siri's answer, press the Home button to essentially cancel the request. 3. Now, press the Home button once again and say the following to Siri: That is not how you pronounce X. Note: remember, X is the person's unusual name. 4. Siri will ask you: Ok, how do you pronounce the name X? Siri will wait for an answer, so go ahead and say out loud the person's name. 5. After saying the person's name, the next prompt you will get is Siri asking: Ok, thank you, which pronunciation should I use? 6. At this point use a 4-finger single tap to go to the top of the screen and swipe to the right to read the screen. When you reach Play option 1 you will double-tap to hear the new Siri pronunciation. You will probably get three choices, so listen to them in the same way just described. when you are ready to make a choice simply double-tap on the Select button associated with the desired option. 7. You will be asked to choose a pronunciation for any remaining parts of the person's name such as left middle and last name. 8. When the process has completed, you will hear one of two messages: Thanks for correcting me on that, I'll pronounce it as X from now on. or Great, I'll pronounce it X from now on. If you are not presented with these Siri replies, it is likely the changes did not go through so try again. 9. If all went well, press the Home button to close any remaining Siri screen. 10. Now test your pronunciation changes by asking Siri Contact x. You should hear Siri speak the new name. If you can get this feature to work, it is very, very cool!

I could not get this to work. Hoping someone will post better instructions. Smile. For now, its definitely possible as this YouTube video demonstrates: ? Teach Siri to Pronounce Contact Names Correctly in iOS 7 - iPhone [How-To] - YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPcYB3bysFQ Here are the written instructions: Teaching Siri How to Say Complicated Names If you want to teach her how to properly pronounce a name, just open up Siri and tell her, That's not how you pronounce [name goes here]. From there, she'll give you several options as to who's name you want her to learn, if she doesn't already recognize it. As an example, I used Marielle Escobar from my contacts. Siri pronounces the first name as Marielle, when it should be pronounced Mary-Lee, so I opened up Siri and said That's not how you pronounce Marielle. Siri then asks me, OK, how do you pronounce the name (Marielle)? I then pronounce the name the correct way (Mary-Lee) and Siri gives me three options to choose from, all slight variations of Mary-Lee, if not exact replicas. If none of those sound correct, you can tell Siri again. If an option works, press Select. Once you select it, Siri will ask you about the last name. You can pronounce it as well, even if it's already correct. It will then do the same thing again, giving you three options to choose from. Once you're done, Siri will say, Great, I'll pronounce it First Name, Last Name and you'll be ready to go. No more Siri massacring our exotic names. http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/make-siri-pronounce-contact-names-correctl y-ios-7-0148665/ Joseph the free tech guy! -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Looking for a good Bluetooth keyboard recommendation
I'm curious, how does it support all three operating systems? I always just assumed that any keyboard, it being standard and all, would support any operating system, and that the only difference between a keyboard for an IOS device and a keyboard for a Windows devices was the key caps.

In the meantime I wanted to pass along a tip on a great little Bluetooth keyboard that costs half as much as the Logitech K810. It is the Sharkk 3.0 bluetooth keyboard. It is a tiny bit smaller than the Logitech and it supports all 3 operating systems, iOS, Windows and Android all on the one keyboard. You use simple commands to switch between them. Unlike the Logitech the function keys are regular function keys meaning if you use it with Windows keystrokes like alt+f4, insert+f11 etc all work where as on the Logitech you would need to download and install utility to make that work. It has great battery life and for those who want it it is back lit with a choice of 7 colors and brightnesses. Perhaps the best part is that it only costs $29.99. I own one and a friend of mine just got one and both he and his wife like it much better then the Rivo keyboard which they say is much to tiny. She says she wished she had one of these instead.Btw, it defaults to iOS for the keyboard con figuration.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Hi, I just came back from a trip to Las Vegas where I left my Macbook pro behind, and brought my iPad mini with me. I have a logitech folio keyboard case for it. I only use the keyboard when typing not so much for navigating. This setup worked extremely well for me. For starters, the battery life. It was nice going 3 days on a single charge, and thats after hard use. Video streaming, ebook reading, music streaming, web browsing, etc. During that same time, I was recharging my iPhone sometimes twice a day. As far as the gestures go, since the screen is larger, some might feel their gestures need to be larger as well. This is definitely not the case. moving your finger left, right, up or down is more than enough to do the trick for navigating on an iPad. Thanks.

Strange mail issue on iPhone
Hi. I have a very strange email issue, or rather my wife does. She has a Gmail account and a Hotmail account, both loading to her iPhone. They are both IMAP accounts, and she has them set up as such on the iPhone. These accounts are not linked to each other in any other way. Which is to say, for Gmail does not pull her Hotmail, or Hotmail does not pull her Gmail. When she reads an email on her iPhone, and then goes to the web interface, the message shows as read. However when she deletes an email on her iPhone, and goes to her web interface, the message is still in her inbox. She is in the inbox folder on the web interface, not be all mail folder. Also, she does have her iPhone set to delete messages, not just merely move into the archive folder. If it were just one of the accounts, I would say she has it set up wrong on the web interface. But since it's both, I think it has to be with the iPhone. She gets very frustrated, spending time clearing her inbox on her phone, only to have to redo it on her laptop the next time she goes to the web interface. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. -- Sent with Captio at Jul 28, 2014, 8:43 AM -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Hello all, I've owned an iPad 2, 4, and now an Air. I'm also an iPhone user, am totally blind, and the pad is my go-to device more often than not for my daily communication/web browsing needs. I appreciate the iPad both for the visually accurate representation of webpages, and for its larger screen, requiring me to scroll less in areas such as settings. Maps is another area wherein the larger screen is helpful for better visualizing my surroundings, planning routes, etc. Granted, the larger screen isn't going to be for everyone, but it is far from an impossibility. :) Sent from my iPad On Jul 28, 2014, at 8:26 AM, Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com wrote: Hmm, I own an iPad mini and and iPhone, and I don't find using my iPad mini anymore difficult.

Re: Sonos multi-room Wireless music system was: Bluetooth speakers
Sieghard I received a 3 when I subscribed to UVerse. It sounds okay but if someone can afford the 5 it is much better. One thing which no one has really talked about is that you can use the Sonos to listen to any audio from your computer. For example if you have a folder full of books, music, movies etc you can select that folder. You can also listen to music by artist, album or shuffle an entire folder. I agree that it is an excellent system. For the person who wants to use it instead of powerd speakers, it is quite expensive. It is worth it though.

It would be far easier for places like mine because we had to put the modem/router in the cabinet in the computer desk because the power cord wouldn't reach much above, so one would have to run ethernet cable all around the room to where I'd want the speaker. As for that 30-pin dock, with this Lario HD Music Receiver I found on Amazon, that can be turned into an airplay receiving station. It's just a little oval thing that fits in the dock, and powers and feeds audio to the dock, but because it works with my Klipsch IGroove doesn't mean the Sonos one would necessarily like it. For so long I thought it was a dud and I was going to toss it, but now that I moved, it works like a champ only because I have a different kind of modem/router now. - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2014 8:56 PM Subject: RE: Sonos Question about Non-Music Listening Hi Brent and Allen, Brent, the short answer is actually Yes, this can easily be done and all it takes is one Airport Express which I believe costs around $80, maybe even less in the States. I have an Airport Express connected to one of my Sonos Connect Amp players and I called it Sonos so when I tap on Airplay I see iPhone, Apple TV Living Room and Sonos. I furthermore have the system set up so that as soon as the Apple TV delivers a signal to that Connect Amp which is actually in my kitchen, it automatically plays in the Master Bedroom. If I want the Airplay stream to play in other zones/rooms like the kitchen, bathroom, my Play 5 which I use as a portable player either in my woodworking shop or on my deck then I just group whichever other zones I want with the Master Bedroom. This allows me to play any stream from any app on my Sonos system and throughout the house. As for setting up the Airport Express, you have to connect its network port with the network port on the Sonos player and then also connect the 3.5mm jack on the Airport Express to the RCA inputs on the Sonos. Then there is a bit of configuration of the Airport Express which has to be set up in a certain way. It's been I think 3 years since I set it up so I don't recall the specifics, but if you Google how to setup an Airport Express you're your Sonos system you can find an article on the Sonos website. The other option is to call Sonos tech support and get them to walk you through the process and if necessary they are more than happy to establish a remote support session with you and do it for you. Sonos used to make an iPhone dock with a 30-pin connector which was wirelessly connected to the Sonos system just like any of the players and all it needed was power. You could put it anywhere like on your night table, the coffee table in the living room or whatever and put your iPhone in it and it was just like using any speaker dock. I actually have one of these but don't really use it any more since I guess I would have to buy an adapter and so on. Have to put it up for sale one of these days on eBay or something like that. There is of course always the option to simply use an RCA cable and physically connect your iPhone into the line in on a Sonos player. Then of course Voiceover and everything would come through Sonos, but it works fine. I have a cable sitting next to my laptop so if I ever want to sit in the living room with my Logitech wireless keyboard and use the laptop I can just plug it into the Connect in my office and send the audio anywhere and this way I get Jaws and anything else playing. The nice thing with Sonos is that it is so super flexible and expandable. Keep in mind, however, that the Play 1 and I think also he Play 3 don't have RCA inputs, you need a Play 5, Connect, Connect Amp or the Playbar for that.

Amazon Basics Keyboard and iPhone Query
I have an amazon basics keyboard which I have always used successfully with my iPhone. When pared, I would press a key and it would come up in speech mode immediately. The regular commands could be executed such as VO commands and typing in edit boxes etc. However over the past several days, although the keyboard says connected with bluetooth on, there is no speech. If I am in an edit box such as search for iPhone I can tap a key and the keyboard will speak. If I hit the home button to go to perform another task however the keyboard goes back to no speech mode. I know also there is a key on my function row past f12 keyboard hidden and visible but it only speaks obviously when in that edit box time then reverses to silence. If anyone can help me off list I would very much appreciate it. I use this keyboard often but can't use it well the way it is now. My e-mail is: julie.magno...@att.net Thank you for any and all help which is deeply appreciated. Perhaps there is a made I inadvertently put it in by mistake, smiles. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
I'm seriously thinking of getting an iPad. I'm looking forward to utilizing a larger screen that will display more information without having to scroll as much. In my mind, it's similar to having greater screen resolution with a screen-reader. There's more information available on a single screen at any given time. However, I'm going to compromise and get a Mini with retina display, which has the same processor as the iPad Air, but has a more manageable screen size for me and costs $100 less. I don't see paying $100 US more just for more screen.

They are both IMAP accounts, and she has them set up as such on the iPhone. These accounts are not linked to each other in any other way. Which is to say, for Gmail does not pull her Hotmail, or Hotmail does not pull her Gmail. When she reads an email on her iPhone, and then goes to the web interface, the message shows as read. However when she deletes an email on her iPhone, and goes to her web interface, the message is still in her inbox. She is in the inbox folder on the web interface, not be all mail folder.

Sometimes I use my husband's classic keyboard Kindle, but I find myself missing Braille all too soon. One great thing about the iOS app is that you can use Braille with it.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Hi, Joseph, Smaller screens require you to scroll more to display more information. Larger iPad screens might fit two or more pages of iPod or iPhone screens. In web browsers, this isn't quite as important as in, say, the mail app, if you're trying to mark and delete a large chunk of mail messages. On my iPod, I have to keep scrolling down to access more messages, but I would think I wouldn't have to do this nearly as often on a larger iPad screen.

RE: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Hi. I have both an iPhone 5s and an iPad mini. Originally, I purchased the mini thinking that I would find some sort of benefit to the larger screen. To make a long story short, the mini never gets used by me personally. My wife uses it more than I do for those occasions when she has left her larger iPad upstairs or something. I did not find I gained any real benefit from the larger screen and actually found the containers used on iPads sort of annoying. For me, the mini was a waste of money already having an iPhone. I can of course do everything on the phone that I can do on the mini. The phone fits in my pocket or on my belt where the mini does not and I don't have to deal with those annoying containers. I know how to use the containers when needed, so it isn't lack of knowledge on my end. This is strictly my own personal opinion so I'm sure others will chime in with their perspective.

RE: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
This is actually a good point if you plan to use the mini as a sort of laptop. Because of the larger size, the keyboard covers you can get for them are very nice because they can accomidate a larger keyboard that are usually very comfortable to type on just like a laptop. In this sense, the mini works very well and so does the regular full size iPad.

I have a logitech folio keyboard case for it. I only use the keyboard when typing not so much for navigating. This setup worked extremely well for me. For starters, the battery life. It was nice going 3 days on a single charge, and thats after hard use. Video streaming, ebook reading, music streaming, web browsing, etc. During that same time, I was recharging my iPhone sometimes twice a day. As far as the gestures go, since the screen is larger, some might feel their gestures need to be larger as well. This is definitely not the case. moving your finger left, right, up or down is more than enough to do the trick for navigating on an iPad. Thanks.

For example, when I was recently listening to a book from Audible I needed to increase the volume because I was in a noisy environment. However, the VO volume was also increased and nearly blasted my eardrums out when I got a notification. Is it possible to increase the volume for audio (either book or music) without also increasing the volume of VO?

Re: Individual volume adjustments
Kind of. If you go to VO's rotor settings, you can add volume. Then, at any point, just toror to volume and swipe a finger down to lower it. I leave mine set at about 70% because that matches the volume of the books I listen to, and everything works well.

Re: Strange mail issue on iPhone
I know in the gmail web interface under settings forwarding pop and iMap and under the pop settings in the when messages arrive popup menu you can choose if gmail keeps it’s copy in the inbox or if gmail deletes it. In the iMap settings in the web interface I only see a option to enable or disable iMap.

I have a very strange email issue, or rather my wife does. She has a Gmail account and a Hotmail account, both loading to her iPhone. They are both IMAP accounts, and she has them set up as such on the iPhone. These accounts are not linked to each other in any other way. Which is to say, for Gmail does not pull her Hotmail, or Hotmail does not pull her Gmail. When she reads an email on her iPhone, and then goes to the web interface, the message shows as read. However when she deletes an email on her iPhone, and goes to her web interface, the message is still in her inbox. She is in the inbox folder on the web interface, not be all mail folder. Also, she does have her iPhone set to delete messages, not just merely move into the archive folder. If it were just one of the accounts, I would say she has it set up wrong on the web interface. But since it's both, I think it has to be with the iPhone. She gets very frustrated, spending time clearing her inbox on her phone, only to have to redo it on her laptop the next time she goes to the web interface.

RE: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Hi Feliciano, I understand why you might say that but I respectfully disagree. I am completely blind and I have both a iPhone and a iPad. There are definitely situations where the ability to display more information on the screen at one time is beneficial, even for a Voice Over user. I especially find this to be true in the reading apps, like iBooks, Kindle, and Voice Dream. I also like being able to fit longer lines and more lines on the screen when working in notes or a text editor. A iPad certainly isn't for everyone but it isn't quite as simple as saying a iPad isn't beneficial for a completely blind person using Voice Over.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Hi, using the example of settings, the larger display has 2 benefits in my opinion. First, the display is split into 2 columns. On the left hand side, you have the primary categories found in settings. Wifi, bluetooth, general, privacy, iCloud, etc. This never changes. Tapping on these categories instead of opening a new page like on devices with smaller screens, only the column on the right is changed to show the choices in the category you've selected. So with this setup, you spend less time using the back button or gesture. A small thing but, its very efficient and saves time. Second, more options are displayed in a list. I can run my finger down the left column in settings and have immediate access to more categories without swiping 3 fingers up to scroll up to display more items on the screen.

Re: Kindle Ap
Perhaps the following article from AccessWorld will help: Using VoiceOver with the Accessible Amazon iOS Kindle App Janet Ingber A free and accessible iOS version of the Kindle app from Amazon was released on May 1, 2013. This app gives people who are blind or visually impaired another option for purchasing and listening to books and periodicals. Previous versions of this app were not accessible with VoiceOver. This article will discuss installing the app as well as purchasing and reading content. Here is part of the Kindle description from the iTunes Store: The Kindle app is optimized for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, giving users the ability to read Kindle books, newspapers, magazines, textbooks and PDFs on a beautiful, easy-to-use interface. You'll have access to over 1,000,000 books in the Kindle Store plus hundreds of newspapers and magazines. Amazon Whispersync automatically syncs your last page read, bookmarks, notes, and highlights across devices (including Kindle), so you can pick up your book where you left off on another device. You can read the entire description at the iTunes Store . Installation and Set-Up In the iTunes App Store, type Kindle into the search box, and the first result is the new Kindle app. The first time the app is launched you must enter the e-mail address and password for your Amazon account, so you will need to have an account before beginning the registration process. Prior to entering the information, there will be a dimmed Register this Kindle button and an unlabeled button. Once the e-mail address and password are entered, the Register this Kindle button becomes active, and the unlabeled button disappears. When the new screen loads (and assuming you haven't previously purchased anything from Amazon's Kindle store), VoiceOver will say, You have no items in the cloud. On the bottom of the screen are four buttons: Switch to Grid View, Cloud, Device, and Settings. For easier reading leave the Grid View in its default setting. Activating that button will cause items to be read as a grid instead of as a list. If the button is activated, then the material will be presented in grid format, and that same button will change to List View. If the Cloud button is activated, then all Kindle items will be displayed, including those that may be present on another device. If the Device button is activated, only the items on that specific device will be displayed. The Settings Menu In the Settings menu, the Back button is in the upper left, and the Done button is in the upper right. The first heading is Library Sort Order. By default it is set to Recent, but the Library can also be sorted by author or title. Selection is done via radio buttons. Sync The next item in the Settings menu is the Sync button. Any content purchased on a device should automatically sync to any other supported device. If content isn't synced, activate the button. To test this feature, I tried to sync my content on the iPhone Kindle Library with my MacBook Air and PC running Windows XP and Window-Eyes 8. The Mac app was completely inaccessible. Sighted assistance was needed to register the device, and accessibility didn't improve after that. I got a bit further with the PC version. My books appeared on the screen, but when I opened the books, I couldn't read them. Registration The name of the account holder will be listed, and a Kindle e-mail address will also be shown. In my case it took the first part of my e-mail address and added @kindle.com. Use this address to send documents directly to the Kindle. Next is a button labeled Contact Us, which brings up a form for entering text. Following that is a button labeled Page Turn Animation, which is turned off by default. Next is a Social Networks link. When activated it explains how to share your information and post parts of books to your social networking Wall or Newsfeed. There are, then, links for Facebook and Twitter. The final Settings option is a button labeled Other. When this button is activated, it brings up a list of options, including About and Terms of Use. Library The app's home screen displays content. To change which material is displayed, use the button in the upper left. By default it's set to All Items, but other options are Books and Newsstand. If there are items in any of the categories, they will be listed. The button to go back to the main Libraries page is located in the top left corner, but instead of saying Back, it gives the name of the section currently being displayed. For example, if the Books section is on the screen, the button will say Books. The Done button, which is used to exit the screen, is in the upper right corner. Purchasing and Downloading Content It is not possible to purchase content directly from the iOS Kindle app. Your device must be connected to a wireless or data network in order to transfer content from the Kindle store to your device. For the iPad,
Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Ok, I get it. In, let's say, the Contacts app, one can only see so many names on a single screen, right? You're conveying that with an iPad one will be able to go from only seeing 10 contacts on the screen to quickly accessing 20 contacts, correct? I too use an iPod Touch 5th gen, and in the case of the Contacts app, my solution for such a situation has been to first use a three finger swipe up to move from page to page until I reach the screen containing my desired contact, at which point I swipe to the right to make refinements. For my second solution, it's quite easy and very quick to find a contact by executing a 1-finger double-tap and hold on the Table index, and when you hear the chime (don't lift your finger off of the screen), you can slowly move your finger vertically down the screen to hear each letter of the alphabet at which you will of course stop when you hear the desired letter, and you can now swipe to the right to look through each entry that begins with the letter of interest. In the case of finding an item within the Settings screen, for example finding the Notes app, I use the 2finger triple tap to invoke the item chooser which lists all apps in alphabetical order, and I then simply swipe to the right to place focus within the list of apps at which point I begin using the 3-finger swipe up to work my way over to the apps around the letter N. Practice this process a bit, and you might be surprised at just how quickly one can find an app of interest. If you get good at finding items in this manner, you might save yourself a few bucks as well as not having to maintain yet another device. Smile. Don't forget that you can also simply ask Siri to do all this for you. Smile. In regards to mail, you might be able to accomplish your goal by practicing a bit with the iOS selection controls.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Ok, it sounds as though your difficulties are associated with using the interface rather than the device. Smile. In other words, if you were to purchase an iPad, it seems as though your problem will be exactly the same since you've not gotten the hang of executing gestures. Smile. When executing a swipe, try this... Take your left thumb and fold the knuckle down. Now take your right index finger and use the padded side of your finger tip to swipe from left to right--from your knuckle to the tip of your finger nail. Try increasing the speed so that you smoothly touch your thumb then slide past your nail quickly and without stopping to leave your finger on the thumb at all as the goal is to swipe across your thumb and never rest your index finger on it. Be mindful of the sensation on your thumb, it should be one of feeling your index finger sliding across in a straight line. Notice that you will only have about a half inch or so of room to swipe across your thumb. After practicing this swiping motion on your thumb, open your iDevice to the home screen and repeat the left to right swiping motion. Try to swipe on the surface for a distance of about half an inch (the distance of your knuckle to your fingertip). Move through all your apps from left to right then reverse the swiping to move from your last app to your first one--you will of course now be moving your finger from right to left. The goal in swiping through all your apps is one of consistency in movement. Also try to be mindful of the position of your iDevice in that if you hold it at a weird angle then swipe, it might register as a vertical swipe rather than a horizontal swipe. In other words, at first try to be very mindful of the angle of your iDevice and the angle of your swipe and eventually it will become habit and you will be able to focus more on what you're doing than what is going wrong with your swiping. Smile. If it helps, I've also read other listers state that they think of swiping as using your fingertip to flick a smudge off of your computer screen, or flick a bug off of one's skin. Smile.

The thing about it is, dragging around a keyboard separately is a hassle.

Re: Fantastical 2.1
Bill, In addition to what you said, I can create entries for the classes that I teach, and set them for certain days of the week and have them show up on those days. If I do this in the native calendar, it puts that class on every day, and it is a hassle to then delete said appointments on the weekend for the entire 3-6 week duration of the class. Setting these custom recurring events is one big thing that unfortunatley I haven't found in a lot of email clients, including the native calendar. Sure, you can set events to happen each week or every other week, but you cannot set an event to occur only on Tuesday and Thursday, unless you create a separate appointment.

I use these examples because they are, in fact, repeated events that I have created via Fantastical.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Ok, in settings, the left edge was a sidebar with all the topic areas, and whichever was selected, those options were laid out in the main part of the screen to the right. YOu didn't have to do the scrub back gesture to get back to the list of topics, they are always down the left edge, so run a finger down there and tap something else, and all that appears in the main part of the screen to the right. This is done on anything with a larger screen. iTunes and appstore worked in a similar manner. I always used the Mini in landscape mode, the iPhone always in portrait.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Two things with this, and maybe the larger space does confuse gesture direction. First, the gestures have to be bigger, a flick or swipe has to travel a proportiono f the screen to register, . But since you can flick and swipe pretty well anywhere, relatively near an edge where you can use a thumb on the outside of the case as direction guide.

Ask Siri to Contact x (where X is the person with the oddly spoken name). 2. Regardless of Siri's answer, press the Home button to essentially cancel the request. 3. Now, press the Home button once again and say the following to Siri: That is not how you pronounce X. Note: remember, X is the person's unusual name. 4. Siri will ask you: Ok, how do you pronounce the name X? Siri will wait for an answer, so go ahead and say out loud the person's name. 5. After saying the person's name, the next prompt you will get is Siri asking: Ok, thank you, which pronunciation should I use? 6. At this point use a 4-finger single tap to go to the top of the screen and swipe to the right to read the screen. When you reach Play option 1 you will double-tap to hear the new Siri pronunciation. You will probably get three choices, so listen to them in the same way just described. when you are ready to make a choice simply double-tap on the Select button associated with the desired option. 7. You will be asked to choose a pronunciation for any remaining parts of the person's name such as left middle and last name. 8. When the process has completed, you will hear one of two messages: Thanks for correcting me on that, I'll pronounce it as X from now on. or Great, I'll pronounce it X from now on. If you are not presented with these Siri replies, it is likely the changes did not go through so try again. 9. If all went well, press the Home button to close any remaining Siri screen. 10. Now test your pronunciation changes by asking Siri Contact x. You should hear Siri speak the new name. If you can get this feature to work, it is very, very cool!

From there, she'll give you several options as to who's name you want her to learn, if she doesn't already recognize it. As an example, I used Marielle Escobar from my contacts. Siri pronounces the first name as Marielle, when it should be pronounced Mary-Lee, so I opened up Siri and said That's not how you pronounce Marielle. Siri then asks me, OK, how do you pronounce the name (Marielle)? I then pronounce the name the correct way (Mary-Lee) and Siri gives me three options to choose from, all slight variations of Mary-Lee, if not exact replicas. If none of those sound correct, you can tell Siri again. If an option works, press Select. Once you select it, Siri will ask you about the last name.

It is a tiny bit smaller than the Logitech and it supports all 3 operating systems, iOS, Windows and Android all on the one keyboard. You use simple commands to switch between them. Unlike the Logitech the function keys are regular function keys meaning if you use it with Windows keystrokes like alt+f4, insert+f11 etc all work where as on the Logitech you would need to download and install utility to make that work. It has great battery life and for those who want it it is back lit with a choice of 7 colors and brightnesses. Perhaps the best part is that it only costs $29.99. I own one and a friend of mine just got one and both he and his wife like it much better then the Rivo keyboard which they say is much to tiny.

Re: Fantastical 2.1
Krister, That is a bummer. However, I don't even use that feature of Fantastical anymore since I just use Siri, unless I want to create a repeating event. I've never tried Siri for that. Even if I did not have the natural language feature with Fantastical I still find it much much easier to use than the native iOS Calendar app. Plus, I love that my reminders/to-do list are in one place with Fantastical. I love how the month view calendar is on the top half but my list of events and reminders are at the bottom half of the screen. It just makes sense to me. :) I haven't used Fantastical for anything complicated or fancy though. :) There are probably things I can do with this app I have never even explored. :) Have a great day, Christina On Jul 27, 2014, at 3:06 AM, Krister Ekstrom kris...@kristersplace.com wrote: The problem with the feature allowing you to type a common sentence and have it be translated into an appointment is that this only works in English, which is a great big show stopper for me. In fact, i don't understand why Fantastical is even released here in the Swedish app store when you can't operate it in Swedish. Luckily the exact feature is present in the MacOs calendar and it works in Swedish. /Krister 26 jul 2014 kl. 22:34 skrev Jennie Facer jennie.fa...@gmail.com: Hi, What I love about Fantastical is you can write a sentence such as: Appointment on Monday at 2:00 PM.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
On my iPad Air, I can view a list of email on the left side of the split screen and a summary about 5 lines of text on the right side. This makes it much faster to deal with a lot of messages quickly. When you take an iPad in my case it's the iPad Air, and mate it with a keyboard case, now you have a laptop. With my case, when I don't require the QWERTY keyboard but I do want to play games, I can lift the screen up and lay it on it's back with the back resting on the typing keys making a solid stable platform. Yes you can buy an external keyboard. I have an Amazon Basics Bluetooth wireless keyboard that I bought about a year ago. When I got the keyboard case for my iPad, the Amazon basics Bluetooth wireless keyboard got shoved in my backpack where it stays.

Tapping on these categories instead of opening a new page like on devices with smaller screens, only the column on the right is changed to show the choices in the category you've selected. So with this setup, you spend less time using the back button or gesture. A small thing but, its very efficient and saves time. Second, more options are displayed in a list. I can run my finger down the left column in settings and have immediate access to more categories without swiping 3 fingers up to scroll up to display more items on the screen.

In my mind, it's similar to having greater screen resolution with a screen-reader. There's more information available on a single screen at any given time. However, I'm going to compromise and get a Mini with retina display, which has the same processor as the iPad Air, but has a more manageable screen size for me and costs $100 less.

RE: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Hi, I'm curious about these keyboard covers or cases for iPads and iPad Minis. How exactly is the keyboard incorporated into the case? I keep imagining a keyboard hardware over the lower part of the screen, but this can't be the case, can it? Is the keyboard on the inside of the flap that covers the screen when closed? Doesn't this run the risk of damaging the screen? Thanks in advance for an explanation.

I have a logitech folio keyboard case for it. I only use the keyboard when typing not so much for navigating. This setup worked extremely well for me. For starters, the battery life. It was nice going 3 days on a single charge, and thats after hard use. Video streaming, ebook reading, music streaming, web browsing, etc. During that same time, I was recharging my iPhone sometimes twice a day. As far as the gestures go, since the screen is larger, some might feel their gestures need to be larger as well. This is definitely not the case. moving your finger left, right, up or down is more than enough to do the trick for navigating on an iPad. Thanks.

Hey Ron, Agree with you a hundred percent and thanks for letting em know I am not the only one questioning why in the world I bought this. I guess just because a lot of VO users like an app doesn't mean it is for everyone. Glad that it is accessible and we have multiple choices, but sometimes what you already have might be good enough. Not sure why a calendar app wouldn't consistently open on the current week. I will play around with this but considering the reminders I have created still don't show up in the app, thinking this one might not stay on my phone, and it's to bad as I kept waiting and waiting on this app and finally decided to go for it, and hindsight is 20/20.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Hmm, but i use an IPhone daily, so i thought it would be much the same, but obviously it isn't, probably because the screen is bigger. /Krister 28 jul 2014 kl. 18:32 skrev Joseph FreeTech joseph.freet...@gmail.com: Ok, it sounds as though your difficulties are associated with using the interface rather than the device. Smile. In other words, if you were to purchase an iPad, it seems as though your problem will be exactly the same since you've not gotten the hang of executing gestures. Smile. When executing a swipe, try this... Take your left thumb and fold the knuckle down. Now take your right index finger and use the padded side of your finger tip to swipe from left to right--from your knuckle to the tip of your finger nail. Try increasing the speed so that you smoothly touch your thumb then slide past your nail quickly and without stopping to leave your finger on the thumb at all as the goal is to swipe across your thumb and never rest your index finger on it. Be mindful of the sensation on your thumb, it should be one of feeling your index finger sliding across in a straight line. Notice that you will only have about a half inch or so of room to swipe across your thumb. After practicing this swiping motion on your thumb, open your iDevice to the home screen and repeat the left to right swiping motion. Try to swipe on the surface for a distance of about half an inch (the distance of your knuckle to your fingertip). Move through all your apps from left to right then reverse the swiping to move from your last app to your first one--you will of course now be moving your finger from right to left. The goal in swiping through all your apps is one of consistency in movement. Also try to be mindful of the position of your iDevice in that if you hold it at a weird angle then swipe, it might register as a vertical swipe rather than a horizontal swipe.

Re: New to Fantastical 2, need help
Hi, I'm not sure why folks are having issues with Fantastical 2. First, make sure in the Fantastical 2 settings that Reminders are on and if you want completed reminders, make sure they are on as well. I've never had it not start on the current day, so I'm not sure whatmay be causing that. I have found their support to be very good, so if making sure the settings are as you want them and it is still not working correctly, write them at: h...@flexibits.com Also, I find that the month view is much better than the Day Ticker, so if you are hearing Day Ticker touch near the top of the screen where it says that and do a three finger swipe down. That should switch you to the month view. Don't give up on the app. It really does work tremendously well.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Don't forget to also insure that when swiping your rotor should be on characters or words. This will insure that when you swipe down you don't move beong the current word as opposed to being taken to another place on the screen if you have the rotor set to another form of navigation. In other words, when your rotor is set to characters, you will insure you always have a consistent experience when swiping and navigating the screen. I always, always make it a habit to leave my rotor on characters or words.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
The mindset for learning how to interact with the iPad is the same. Experiment, experiment, and experiment some more. Smile. First try small swipes, and if you don't get a response, try a longer swipe, etc, etc. Try swiping on different parts of the screen. As long as you don't tap on anything, you won't get lost, but even if you do, you always have your trusty home button to take you back to a familiar place. Smile.

Smile. In other words, if you were to purchase an iPad, it seems as though your problem will be exactly the same since you've not gotten the hang of executing gestures. Smile. When executing a swipe, try this... Take your left thumb and fold the knuckle down. Now take your right index finger and use the padded side of your finger tip to swipe from left to right--from your knuckle to the tip of your finger nail. Try increasing the speed so that you smoothly touch your thumb then slide past your nail quickly and without stopping to leave your finger on the thumb at all as the goal is to swipe across your thumb and never rest your index finger on it. Be mindful of the sensation on your thumb, it should be one of feeling your index finger sliding across in a straight line. Notice that you will only have about a half inch or so of room to swipe across your thumb. After practicing this swiping motion on your thumb, open your iDevice to the home screen and repeat the left to right swiping motion. Try to swipe on the surface for a distance of about half an inch (the distance of your knuckle to your fingertip). Move through all your apps from left to right then reverse the swiping to move from your last app to your first one--you will of course now be moving your finger from right to left. The goal in swiping through all your apps is one of consistency in movement. Also try to be mindful of the position of your iDevice in that if you hold it at a weird angle then swipe, it might register as a vertical swipe rather than a horizontal swipe. In other words, at first try to be very mindful of the angle of your iDevice and the angle of your swipe and eventually it will become habit and you will be able to focus more on what you're doing than what is going wrong with your swiping. Smile. If it helps, I've also read other listers state that they think of swiping as using your fingertip to flick a smudge off of your computer screen, or flick a bug off of one's skin. Smile.

Fwd: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Hi I have iPad mini, ipad4, and iphone5. I absolutely love my iPad mini. I use my iPad mini as my primary device, and yes, thats greater than what i would use on my MacBook Air, or my laptop pc. I use it for almost everything and anything, from web browsing, emailing, ereading, skype, gaming, just praticlely anything but phoning. I think all those ideas of bigger screen need bigger movement on how you perform a jestures are wrong. Yes, it is true for some drag and drop case, moving from one point of the screen to another, but the jestues on the ipad is as easy as the phone. Also, if you are one who type quite comfortably on a touch screen, without any external keyboard, you will more than likely to find that typing on iPad mini is easier, than typing on the phone or the full size ipads. I'm an absolute power user, like i said, as its my primary device. However, i only need to charge it every 2 to 3 days, and thats with like 30% to 40% left on my battery. As far as the keyboard case is concern, you can get some keyboard case that is like a book folio, where you have the keyboard on the left, and the ipad on the right. in this setting, more than likely or not you will have your ipad on landscape mode.

I have a logitech folio keyboard case for it. I only use the keyboard when typing not so much for navigating. This setup worked extremely well for me. For starters, the battery life. It was nice going 3 days on a single charge, and thats after hard use. Video streaming, ebook reading, music streaming, web browsing, etc. During that same time, I was recharging my iPhone sometimes twice a day. As far as the gestures go, since the screen is larger, some might feel their gestures need to be larger as well. This is definitely not the case. moving your finger left, right, up or down is more than enough to do the trick for navigating on an iPad. Thanks.

However, I don't even use that feature of Fantastical anymore since I just use Siri, unless I want to create a repeating event. I've never tried Siri for that.

I love how the month view calendar is on the top half but my list of events and reminders are at the bottom half of the screen.

Re: containers?? UTB: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
Containers are areas of the screen that contain groups of controls. For example, your status bar is in one container, and below it is another container with the text of a document. Below that is the dock in its own container. On the iPad, you have to interact with containers, similar to zooming in as a concept. The Mac Os uses very similar concepts with Voiceover.

Re: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
HI all. I have thought at times about getting an iPad Mini. For me, since I have a hearing loss, the larger speakers would be a definite plus to having either the Pad or the Mini. Also, my wife would benefit from the larger screen since she has to squint lots of times to be able to read the smaller iPhone screen. Granted, she has a 5C but still. I am totally blind and if I were to get a iPad, I would not get the largest iPad. That is too much empty space for me to navigate. I could better navigate the Mini's screen size. That seems like more of a happy medium for me between the phone and the largest iPad. In my case, I would probably use a Mini for listening to books, music and other entertainment things, where my iPhone is my go-to communication device. My wife would use it for the larger screen to play all her games. Wayne On 7/28/14, Joanne Chua shuang.an...@gmail.com wrote: Hi I have iPad mini, ipad4, and iphone5. I absolutely love my iPad mini.

I'm an absolute power user, like i said, as its my primary device. However, i only need to charge it every 2 to 3 days, and thats with like 30% to 40% left on my battery. As far as the keyboard case is concern, you can get some keyboard case that is like a book folio, where you have the keyboard on the left, and the ipad on the right. in this setting, more than likely or not you will have your ipad on landscape mode.

Re: Fantastical 2.1
Other than the custom repeat function that's very useful in many ways like repeat for 8 times every week, I also love the search feature. Every once in a while the native calendar would garble the order of search results for a repeating event and it would make it useless for me. This never happens in fantastical. I like how, using natural language one can set where one wants the event to be added. Say it is not in your default calendar but a separate one you indicate this in the sentence with slash followed by first letter of that calendar. /h for home for example. Same goes for reminder lists. Hope this helps, Ioana Sent from my iPhone On Jul 26, 2014, at 3:20 PM, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com wrote: Aside from the natural language, is there an advantage to using Fantastical over iOS' default Calendar app?

I guess I'm wondering what features people like about Fantastical that make it worth it? Also, will Fantastical hook into iOS' calendars? That is, if I make an appointment with it, will that then sync to iOS, and from there propagate through iCloud to sync with my Mac's default calendar app?

RE: This might seem like a strange question about ipad mini vs iphone
i think Feliciano referred to the full-size iPad and I would agree that for some people the relatively large screen could be a challenge in terms of orientation. This is obvious with something like Fleksy. \I remember posts when Fleksy first came out where people said they could just not get the hang of it because they did not have the special awareness of where they touched the screen. For somebody like that an iPad is probably a nightmare. I think for anybody who doesn't have that problem an iPad, especially the Mini, could be a great companion device. But I am a little bit like Ben, I love my iPhone and use it a lot when I travel, but simply because I have to use various business software or log in to my server at my store via Remote Desktop to do some stuff if |I'm away for longer a laptop still works better for me. It's simply a choice everybody has to make for themselves. I think it is quite likely that after the new iPads come out this fall that I'll buy an iPad Mini for at home simply because then I don't have to use my phone all the time for listening to Audible books, to control my sonos system and so on and I would probably get at least one extra day of battery life out of my iPhone.

Just curious, in what way do you find the iPad mini more difficult to use? Thanks.

Especially if that individual has an iPhone. The larger screen on an iPad just makes things more complicated than using an iPhone or iTouch. Clients always ask me this question. I always tell them an iPhone is the way to go if you are totally blind as the larger screen makes things difficult.

NB: this won't change when the next iPad is announced unless they shrink it down to the size of an iPhone which isn't going to happen for reasons that are hopefully obvious. I find browsing the internet to be more pleasurable on an iPad than it is on an iPhone as I'm into feeling the layout of pages, but I still use a computer for this sort of thing by default. Every now and again I'll be out and about for a few days I'll be without a laptop which would be a good oppertunity for my iPad to shine, but I tend to take a bluetooth keyboard with me for these trips anyway, so the touch screen doesn't get that much use. I've purchased two iPads so far with the intent of finding a use for them, but for me at least, there isn't really a space in my life for a device that isn't a phone or a PC. Cheers, Ben.
