Re: what's the current state of sonos accessability???? kind regards trey.
Hi, I was one of the people who wrote a review a while ago now about Sonos accessibility, * note to self, update post * From early 2014 the Sonos iOS app became fully accessible, and, from my perspective is an excellent implementation of accessible and usable interface planning and construction... The solution on OSx needs still work, however, I am aware that it will get a make over in time. Until which though, the iOS iPhone and iPad versions are great.

Re: what's the current state of sonos accessibility???? kind regards trey.
Previously at least one Sonos unit within your Sonos setup had to be connected by physical wired connection to your network, this unit, and / or other wired units, would then create a dedicated Sonos WiFi network that was solely for the Sonos system to use. Sonos changed there system publicly about a month ago now, although some of us were using it for longer previously, to allow all of your Sonos units to use your existing WiFi network without the need for any one unit to have a physical connection. For me, I've tried it both ways and cannot find nor determine a difference, the reason that they did it I believe is to try and help people out who live in crowded WiFi congestion areas. Sonos are also bringing out a Sonos Boost, which is like a Bridge but has double the WiFi range to try and help people who have distance issues in their Sonos networks. I've played with this unit, but, since I do not have distance constraints its not something I need. In my home I put a boost at one end of the property, a Play 5 at the far end, a rough distance of 400 feet and 4 double thick walls and it worked perfectly. The same setup but with a Bridge rather than Boost would not work. I don't have this issue myself as I have physical wiring throughout my home, and, enough Sonos units so that they form a mesh network in any event.

Re: what's the current state of sonos accessibility???? kind regards trey.
Sieghard, Thank you, and, I'm pleased that so many of us now can benefit from people like us badgering the heck out of folks at firms like Sonos. Happy also to talk with anyone off list about requirements... My current Sonos network consist of: 5 x Connects, 1 x Sub connected to a Play 5 2 x Play5's in stereo pair mode, 1 x Play1, 2 x Play 3 in stereo pair, 1 x Play 3 1 x Sound Bar, 2 x Play5 and 2 x Play3 in surround mode. 1 x Bridge All in all, its a cracking setup.

Yes, in some way I hope my persistent correspondence with Sonos had a bit of influence in getting them to make a commitment towards accessibility, but Neil I think had dealings with people that were higher up on the corporate ladder. I have been a Sonos user for 5 years and I definitely have been a pain in the somewhere at times and I also did Beta test for them, but it's also because of all the other blind users and I think by now there are many that they realised they really had to support accessibility. I think Sonos is far from done innovating and I look forward to what they come up with next. I have a rather high-end Sony receiver which sounds awesome when it's hooked up to a good set of speakers, but I'm almost at a point where I might end up selling it so I can get a Playbar along with a Sonos Sub and a few Play 3 or Play 5 players for rear speakers. My receiver is not that old, but unfortunately I bought it a couple of years before many receivers came out with network connectivity and apps to control them so apart from turning it on, switching sources and turning the volume up and down it's rather inaccessible and once you get used to products like Sonos and the Apple TV you get spoiled in the accessibility department.

Hi my son has demod his samsung galaxy 4s and it seems to be able to handle many of the blind’s needs. I know that there are so many iPhone users here so I need to know why would I want to switch to a galaxy? Many years ago, a friend of mine told me to stay with what the majority is using so you have support and what is known with the product. How do I research the benefits of the Samsung Galaxy verses the IPhones? I need your opinions to make a good decision. How this started is that I want more memory for books and videos to place on my phone. I can’t upgrade for another year from 16 gig to something higher. Thanks, Andy Andrew J.

Data man, is it no longer available?
The subject pretty much says it. The program called Data Man is wonderfully accessible and provides aggregate info on data usage for the current billing cycle as well as for the previous billing cycles. I must have somehow deleted it from an old 4 but cannot find it in the app store. I see a program for $1.99 called Data Man next but doubt this is the same program. In lieu of finding the correct program, what must I do to restore from a previous iCloud backup? Also, is there a program comparable to Data Man which is equally accessible? Thanks.

Re: Answering A Call On An IPhone 5s

Unless you use earphones that have a built-in control or allow you to answer by voice, I don't know of an alternative, and of course if somebody is just picking up your phone and answering it for you, the other person isn't going to be using headphones. Even though I am a long-time iPhone user, I find that I tend to forget and double tap with only one finger, and then I yell at my phone because it activated something else. A two-finger double tap anywhere should answer the call but if it isn't a two-finger double tap, unless you are on the answer button, your results won't be what you wanted. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.

Another Scanning Accessory Potential
A web site exists which is used to connect people who want to develop a product with those who want to fund it or be the first to get one. The site is called Kick Start. I am not writing to promote the site but rather to tell everyone about a potential product which may interest us. The product is called PopScope. It is in essence a tripod with an arm for the phone. The nice thing about this product is that it is extendable. The site to obtain more information is https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/474886025/popscope-a-simple-solution-to-better-selfies-and-v It has a long way before it gets funded. I personally haven't decided whether I will participate but am leaning toward doing so. The reason I like the idea is that it looks to be a lot smaller than the Scan Stand and Giraffe. The only potential disadvantage is that it doesn't include lights. I know nothing more than what is on the site. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: College Football
No it has something to do with streaming as if you were listening on a regular radio it would not be delayed but for some reason all streaming audio has a delay. Thanks Andy. I actually think this All football Radio might just be a newer version of the apps that I already have as they look very similar as my strictly college football radio also has schedules and scores so it looks like the developer might have just finally combined both apps in to one and instead of being 99 cents it's now 1.99 for both. Glad to see the app is still around as besides the delay it is fantastic. The only other drawback and I haven't checked if it is still the same this year is I do not think you can listen to a game on 4G as at least last season you needed to be on Wifi for the game streams to work.

RE: Samsung galaxy
Hello Andrew, I can only speak for myself, of course, but my answer to your question is that you don't have to decide. That is to say, use them both. In addition to my iPhone 5 S, I also use a Galaxy Note 2, and a Galaxy S4. The truth is that Android has some delightful features that some may prefer over iPhone. Even with much study, the only real way to understand an OS including its accessibility features is to experience it, first hand. So, if you can, find yourself a Galaxy device and, purchase a pay-as-you-go SIM card and take it for a test drive. While I certainly prefer my iPhone over the Galaxy devices, at present, in no way would I consider abandoning the Android platform.

RE: reading your mail on your iphone
Holding the phone very still will also help with taking a clear picture of the document. DJ -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Friday, September 05, 2014 12:54 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: reading your mail on your iphone Hi Jed, All of the OCR apps use the backfacing camera. If you point the back of the phone towards whatever it is you want to scan, the camera from your perspective will be at the top right corner of the phone, just below the power button. You will have to have a reasonably good sense of orientation to make sure the camera points roughly to he middle of whatever it is you are scanning. I find a good way for me is to lay the phone flat on top of the page or the envelope I am scanning. I estimate where the middle is and put the top right corner of the phone there. Then I lift the phone straight up and away from the page about 8 or 10 inches. If it's a smaller piece of paper 4 or 6 inches might be enough. It's important to make sure you don't tilt the phone too much and also that the edge of your document is relatively straight in relationship to the edges of the phone. Then go ahead and take the picture and hope for the best. As others pointed out, lighting is also important. I think most would agree at this point that Prizmo and Text Grabber work best. Keep in mind that we are within a week or so (according to KNFB) of the release of the KNFB Reader for the iPhone. This has been discussed extensively on the list and there are some Podcasts available. KNFB Reader is relatively expensive at $99, but it is made for the blind and has specific features which should allow you to take the best picture possible.

RE: Data man, is it no longer available?
I may be mistaken, but I believe that DataMan Next is the same app. Someone correct me if I'm rong, please. DJ -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Donald L. Roberts Sent: Friday, September 05, 2014 11:48 AM To: Viphone Subject: Data man, is it no longer available? The subject pretty much says it. The program called Data Man is wonderfully accessible and provides aggregate info on data usage for the current billing cycle as well as for the previous billing cycles. I must have somehow deleted it from an old 4 but cannot find it in the app store. I see a program for $1.99 called Data Man next but doubt this is the same program. In lieu of finding the correct program, what must I do to restore from a previous iCloud backup? Also, is there a program comparable to Data Man which is equally accessible? Thanks.

When the blind children use the touch-screen directly through dragging the finger around the screen on the iPad to explore, rather than merely using the serial interface of keyboard commands or finger flicking commands, once they adapt to said interface, their productivity and speed becomes significantly quicker with improved understanding of visual layouts and where to locate desired information.

Re: [IDevices] new iPhone
Two years ago I would have said I like the small screen. However, after going from the 3.5-inch screen of an iPod Touch 4 to the 4-inch screen of an iPhone5, I find I prefer the iPhone's larger display now that I'm used to it and can compare the two. If I were to go to an iPad tomorrow, I'd hate it, and I've tried them before so I have some experience. However, the incremental increases in screen size seem to be a way of easing into the new screen sizes; maybe I'll love the 4.7-inch over the 4-inch in another year or so, then an iPad Mini won't seem bad at all. Of course, all this is as subjective as which speech synthesizer is best, and we all have to use what we like most. I guess I'm mostly saying this: don't dismiss the larger screen outright; give it a chance and see if you don't wind up liking it after all. Plus, a larger screen means a larger battery and more icons on the home screen (probably), so that's a plus no matter what your visual situation is.

You can adjust pitch in Voiceover settings. I have lowered Alex's pitch on the Mac to a more baritone voice, but I don't change the pitch for Daniel's voice, as I fine him easy to understand. As for tone, I don't believe there's a way to adjust that in Voiceover settings, but you can do this on external sfeaker and headphone systems which allow it.

RE: [IDevices] new iPhone
My initial training was on an IPad. I had problems keeping track of where I was on the screen. This problem is muss less with my iPhone 4S. I do have fine motor problems which, I'm sure, add to this problem. My iPhone will have to be replaced soon and I hope I don't have any serious problems adjusting to the iPhone 6.

Re: [IDevices] new iPhone
We don't have any details on the study David is referring to, so it isn't clear to me how relevant it is to the discussion. For example, he refers to exploring the screen and doesn't reference typing speed. He also says the iPad was used but not a phablet or something akin to the size of the iPhone 6, whatever that will be. It also seems like he's talking about children new to a touch screen, which isn't the same thing as an adult who's already an experienced touch screen user. I have a Nexis 7, and I do find it easier learning new apps where I'm exploring the screen and learning it's layout. I can also see where I'd continue to be more proficient using an app where your interaction with it is to access different areas of the screen. For example, I prefer using my Nexis 7 for things like NFL Mobile, Netflix, Pandora and similar apps. I find typing to be a different story. Instead of working with a few icons placed around the screen, I'm heavily interacting with many more objects on the screen. I appreciate their closer proximity and the fact that I have more relevant physical reference points, like the sides and corners of my iPhone. I am definitely a much faster typer on my iPhone than I am on my Nexis 7. It also makes sense to me that when learning a new app and exploring it's interface, you would pick up things more quickly on a larger display, but once you know the interface, would you be more proficient on the larger device or would the size of the screen stop being relevant after a certain point? I also wonder how much our interaction with technology to this point, and I'm thinking about PC's and JAWS in particular, where we're presented with a linear view of our technology effects our use and adaption of the touch screen. The iPhone plays into this by emulating that linear view of the interface with the swipe gesture. Maybe the results of this study have more to do with having people new to the touch screen learn to use the interface as it's actually laid out in two dimensions than the size of the screen being used. Finally, even if this study clearly states that blind people do better with a larger screen that has nothing to do with an individuals preference. I wouldn't change my preference for a screen size just because someone refers to a study or questions my intelligence or mental flexibility. I have no idea if these children are using their iPads the same way I use my iPhone or not, and frankly, I don't really care.
