Re: Braille input and using Braille displays in iOS 8
Not that I know of. The idea is to type in Braille on the touch screen just like you could with MBraille and BrailleTouch however you can do this in any text field. Typing on a Braille display should be the same as it always has been in previous releases. Sent from my Macbook Pro On 19 Sep 2014, at 22:04, Wayne Merritt wcmerr...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings all. I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7. I haven't upgraded yet and am not sure tha i Iwill until I get a new iPhone 6 next week or the week after. I have seen people talk about being able to type in Braille in iOS 8. My question is: can this be done with a Braille display? In other words, when on iOS 8 can I turn my rodar to braille and then write in Braille using my Focus 14 Blue display? I sure hope so since I sent a note to Apple Accessibility about this not long ago and it would be great if they added that ability.

I just thought I try this and I started the Australian high quality voice download a bit over 1 minute ago and it's currently at 20 of 120 Mb. It does appear a bit slow on my end here as well, I have a connection which gives me 25 Mbps down and 5 up. It seems that it takes about 8 seconds in between Voiceover saying it's downloaded another Mb, so about 7 or 8 Mb per minute which would mean it will take 15 or 17 minutes to download the 120 Mb which normally would download on my connection in about a minute. I now went out of the speech setting screen back to the home screen and locked my phone, that was when the download was at 44 Mb. Now I went back maybe a minute or so later and I'm at 61 Mb, in other words for me the download is not super fast, but working just fine. Have you tried to maybe do a Reset all Network Settings on your phone to see if that clears things up? Make sure you know your WiFi password, though, you'll need to reconnect after the phone reboots.

Honestly the bugs for the most part I can live with. While I do find them a major statement about Apple's commitment to accessibility as I just can't get over the fact that Apple released a iPhone operating system where blind people can't dial a phone number. I guess that means that blind people won't be able to tell time with the iWatch. For the first time ever I am going to actually start paying more attention to Droid related info, as I do question how much testing Apple is actually doing with VO if this kind of a bug is going to appear in the release. I also have not been able to download any high quality voices after leaving the screen on trying to download the Australian HQ voice for six hours it was only at 25megs of 125 downloaded. I am sure this is a server issue but not being able to download any of the HQ voices and I have plenty of room on my 64GB is really pissing me off.

Before the public release you actually had to power down your phone completely to stop the tone, removing the phone from the app switcher wouldn't do it so I guess there is improvement. Maybe in the next update Apple will make it so the tone only sticks for 10 seconds and then stops by itself. Anyhow, enough of the sarcasm, I was actually going to reply and say that maybe you are in fact lucky that the update didn't work.

RE: ICloud for windows 4.0
Hello, I installed the iCloud Control Panel for Windows 2 days ago on both a Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit computer. The control panels appear to be working perfectly with Outlook 2007. When I installed them, I left the iCloud Drive checkbox unchecked because I have not yet setup my iCloud drive and did not want to cause any problems. Deb, or anyone who knows, when one places a check in the checkbox for the iCloud drive, what happens next? Does it place an iCon for the drive on the Desktop or something? How is the drive manifested in Windows?

A Follow-Up on SIM Adaptor and iOS 8 on my iPhone 4 S
Hello All, I am delighted to report that the Nano SIM adaptors I purchased on Amazon a couple of days ago for approximately $2 work perfectly. Now that I can easily switch between my 5 S and my 4 S, I upgraded to iOS 8 on my 4 S in order to take it for a test drive, making and receiving telephone calls and all. Like others, I have encountered many of the bugs reported on this and other lists including the fact that I had to reboot my 4 S twice, after updating in order to get my visual VoiceMail to display correctly. However, key elements, to me at least, on the A T T Wireless network, of iOS 8 are working very well on my 4 S and, as a result, I am thinking more seriously about updating my 5 S. I spent about an hour or so with the iPhone 6 and 6+ today. They are very fine devices and I know that those who purchase them, one of whom may be me, will be very satisfied with their new phone. Anyway, thanks to all for sharing your experiences. Most Sincerely, Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: I took a look at the iPhone 6 and 6plus.
I'll tell you what I've been doing, apart from guessing that all proportions of size and aspect ratios are common to all these devices. The size is a diagonal, I'd also presume a proportional wastage top and bottom that isn't screen. So, the iMini is meant to be a 7inch, maybe a tad bigger. So I stretch fingers diagonally from corner to corner of that for a scale, then reduce that distence by the inchhalf, and then feel the residual size within my finger spread. That makes the 6+ about the size of a journalists note pad, and remember, they hold these in the flat of their hand and scribble on it for a living. Or they did do, that size evolved for efficiency to do the job. I can't find a piece of paper to play with, and aspect ratio would be different; so don't know if that comes out at A6 or A7; US has their own and different paper sizes mind; but it's a reasonable guide, for sure bigger, but not massive, more comfortable than the Mini for holding, though putting it to ear would be something else. Don't see that as a big issue really, either. I like the feel of the size, so would still go for the 6+, funds or whatever, willing. More I think about it, the more i like the jotter analogy.

KNFB officially says it works pon the iPhone 5 and up, but several people on the list have reported that it works just as good if a bit slower on an iPhone 4S. This is of course only logical since especially between the 4S and the 5 there is very little difference in the camera. Even the difference between the 4S camera and the iPhone 6 camera is not that much, same 8 MP, 6 has a sensor with larger pixels which is good but probably not crutial for OCR and the flash on the 5S and 6 is a true tone flash which yields better colour rendering in low light, once again, not something I would think makes a great difference when it comes to lighting up a page of text. The app, in fact, even works on the iPod Touch Fifth Gen although if that is your only device you definitely may want to think twice about spending that much since the iPod has no vibration so the tilt control would not work and you wouldn't benefit fully from the features of the app. It is my assumption that it would work just as well or even better on Ed's iPad Fourth Gen since it has an A6 processor which is a generation better than that of the iPod Touch, but it still only has a 5 MP camera just like the iPod Touch and no vibration.

It got so bad that I decided to restore the phone. After that, the Apple Bluetooth keyboard is really acting strange. 1. When I arrow around the home screens, the keyboard moves like it should, as long as the quick nav is on. If it's off, while holding down the VO keys, arrowing does nothing. 2. Even if quick nav is on and I am arrowing around, when I come to the app I want to open, I press VO space and the unit just emits a bonk sound and nothing else. 3. When in an edit field, pressing the space bar to go to edit, again, the space bar just bonks. 4. Things like VO k do nothing.

If you are indeed scanning entire bvooks I think a flatbed scanner is still the way to go. As far as using a 2-finger double tap to stop and start reading that does work for me. I suspect you don’t do the gesture quite correctly. If Voiceover tells you what is on the screen maybe it is just registering as a single 2-finger tap. I find it easiest to hold the phone with one hand and to use the other to do my tapping. Having tilt feedback on I think works great and I occasionally use the field of view report. Fortunately I find it not too difficult to hold the phne level and usually within 5 degrees skew which doesn’t seem to effect the scan quality very much if at all. I guess everybody is different here just as people use different methods to hold the phone and type, it is something we all have to figure out for ourselves.

However, it won’t do this when I try it, and in fact I just get voice over telling me what’s on the screen and the other voice reading in the background, which is rather confusing and kind of annoying. 2.I can’t seem to scan more than one page at a time without erasing or saving the page I’ve scanned – if I hit the back button to go out to the main page with the take picture button, it asks if I want to save the document; if I don’t it erases it, which is fine, but this seems like lots of steps… I’d like to be able to take picture after picture until I’m ready to save or erase… Maybe I can do this under batch scanning?

If you are talking about the iPad Mini, it is 7.9 screen. Add another 0.5 or so for the sides, thats your ipad mini. More making sense comparecent will be the ipad4 vs ipad mini, in terms of size.

Even though the 6+ seems big, and somewhat harder to hold to start with, but when you get on to it, it is very comfortable on the hand. no pressure or grip require. Same with the 6 as well. To put it in more of a context for those that haven't seen it before, the 6 is a bit feels like the last gen iPod touch.

It would be a great advantage. The 6+ is about 2 ounces heavieralso, as far as the Battery Life there is really no difference because the bigger battery uses a power more quickly because it has to power a bigger screen.

Hi Rob, I do mention the iPad in my message and said that it will probably work just fine and that the processor is actually better than that of the iPod Touch. However, there are still 3 differences which will probably have an impact on how well KNFB Reader performs: 1. Even the iPad Mini Retina and the iPad Air (the newest at this time) still have only a 5 MP camera just like the iPod Touch. 2. They do not have a flash which means you need really good external lighting 3. None of these devices have vibration which means the tilt control feature will not work.

Re: KNFB on an iPad 4
There is no reason why ipads won't work with KNFB reader. Like sieghard mention, if you have the iphone and the ipad, you won't use ipad for your camera input. If you have an ipod and an ipad, you still won't use an ipad for the camera input. It need more works to take a proper picture with an ipad, and to making sure that there are plenty of light sources available externally, and you are not blocking the light source as well. However, if you have a scanstandpro, or a scanbox, there is no reason why you can't do it.

RE: KNFB Reader, First Impressions
Hi Rob, I tried the volume button in KNFB Reader and at least for me it doesn't seem to work. ?But in any case, I actually find pushing the volume button is more likely to make me move the phone than a double tap or split tap. The iPhone's touch screen really requires a very light touch and with a bit of practice you can do a double tap and barely touch the screen. What I haven't tried yet is to use the headset. This is probably the best method for taking a picture as you can press the middle part of the headset to take the picture or start/stop video recording and you don't even have to touch your phone at all or press any button. As for holding the phone, I just hold it in my left hand gripping just the bottom half of the phone from underneath and I find this quite natural and then my right hand is free to do the tapping.

I find it easiest to hold the phone with one hand and to use the other to do my tapping. Having tilt feedback on I think works great and I occasionally use the field of view report. Fortunately I find it not too difficult to hold the phne level and usually within 5 degrees skew which doesn’t seem to effect the scan quality very much if at all. I guess everybody is different here just as people use different methods to hold the phone and type, it is something we all have to figure out for ourselves.

Hi folks. So, how do you think the Maps app in Ios8 work compared to earlier versions? I never got the hang of using it as a navigation tool with turn-by-turn instructions it sounded complicated and confusing to me in earlier versions, how does this work now?

Re: Deleting a book in the current version of the audible app
Good morning all, I too am seeing this behavior across approximately 6 Ios devices. Actions in the rotor is entirely absent from the audible app. Don't reinstall.

Double tap or split tap this button. 4. Now check to the right of the title on the right edge there is a delete button beside each title. If you double tap or split tap on it after first tapping the edit button you will be prompted to delete the book. Cheryl, could you maybe check once more really carefully which version you have by going to Settings and then look towards the bottom. The most current version is 2.2.1 (351). I currently have quite a few books downloaded, but if you really have this built and the action rotor still works I think I will have to bite the bullet and delete the app completely, reinstall it and then redownload my books to see if this brings back the action rotor option which really was great as far as deleteing books is concerned.

Re: IOS 8 Released
I agree there's too much bashing of other platforms going on. IMHO, we should all feel happy there's choice, and when someone else chooses a phone that we haven't chosen ourselves, we should be glad there's choice and not get defensive that the solution we went with wasn't selected. We may be elated with our choice for now, but things may change over time, and we may find ourselves happy we have options ourselves. I know I was a happy Nokia phone owner, but I was sure glad there were options when that Symbian based platform went by the boards. I've seen multiple references now to the fragmentation going on in Apple's world, and to be honest, this just isn't the case. Fragmentation is not a single vendor supporting a few different screen sizes or models with different hardware from year to year. Fragmentation is multiple handsets from multiple vendors each with their own source code branch to support it. Everyone who has a supported Apple device got IOS 8 at exactly the same time. Absolutely no one had to wait. This is not true in the Android world where new versions of Android need to be ported to different manufacturers hand sets once it's released. I'm not bashing Android, I'm an Android user myself. This model provides some great advantages, such as multiple form factors and a much greater degree of out of the box customization. Fragmentation is the price that's paid for these options though. Neither model is good or bad, they're just different, but try telling that to a fan boy from either camp. I would agree Apple does a better job of supporting older hardware, but remember, we're comparing apples and oranges here. The fragmentation in the Android space does confuse this issue. I have a Nexis 7 that was released in 2012 and it'll be getting Android L when it's released later this year, so Google Play editions of Android phones are supported for quite a while. Android also runs on much lower end phone models. I don't think you'd expect a phone going for $100 or $200 to have the same longevity of support that you'd get for a $600 phone. If you support all mobile platforms then I wouldn't accuse the Apple environment of becoming more fragmented. This is just an Android fan boyism being tossed out against Apple, and it just isn't true. And BTW, I don't consider myself an Apple fan boy, but you don't need to be to know that the Apple world is not fragmented the same way the Android world is.

Re: Using Hey, Seri
Hi, It works better on some devices than others; my iPad4 consistantly gets better results than my new iPhone 6. Generally speaking I find that I can operate the iPad from the otherside of the room if nobody else is talking but my iPhone has to be within a couple of feet from me. To be honest I doubt it's a feature I'll be using that much. The novelty of controling a device from the otherside of a room is kind of cool, but once that's warn off, I'll probably just forget that it's possible because it's not possible to do all of the time. Additionally, a sighted friend remarked that depending on what you use Siri for, you might have to pick the device up to read the output anyway so you might as well invoke Siri using the traditional method.

help with removing U2 album from my iPhone 4s
Hi list. I was wondering how to remove the U2 album off my phone. I don't have iTunes on my computer. Is there a way to remove the album without iTunes? I'm experiencing a bug where, if I double tap with 2 fingers to activate another function e.g. Facebook, the U2 album starts playing. Any idea how I can stop this? using an iphone 4s.

But if you now check the list of titles by moving your finger to the left of the title (don't flick, drag it straight to the left of the title) you will find an Edit Mode button. 3. Double tap or split tap this button. 4. Now check to the right of the title on the right edge there is a delete button beside each title. If you double tap or split tap on it after first tapping the edit button you will be prompted to delete the book. Cheryl, could you maybe check once more really carefully which version you have by going to Settings and then look towards the bottom. The most current version is 2.2.1 (351). I currently have quite a few books downloaded, but if you really have this built and the action rotor still works I think I will have to bite the bullet and delete the app completely, reinstall it and then redownload my books to see if this brings back the action rotor option which really was great as far as deleteing books is concerned.

Importance: High Hello Listers, After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 4s, for a while things were working ok. Then this morning VO started shutting off and back on. It got so bad that I decided to restore the phone. After that, the Apple Bluetooth keyboard is really acting strange. 1. When I arrow around the home screens, the keyboard moves like it should, as long as the quick nav is on. If it's off, while holding down the VO keys, arrowing does nothing. 2. Even if quick nav is on and I am arrowing around, when I come to the app I want to open, I press VO space and the unit just emits a bonk sound and nothing else. 3. When in an edit field, pressing the space bar to go to edit, again, the space bar just bonks. 4. Things like VO k do nothing. As I mentioned earlier today, and yesterday, the bluetooth keyboard was working ok. Any thoughts folks? Thanks a bunch. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV) Begin forwarded message: Dear our valued RiVO customers, We have found a small but serious issue in iOS 8.0 which could make any Bluetooth keyboards including RiVO not working. If you suffer from the issue, please read on. You may read the text in this email or follow the link to read it from web browser. RiVO Troubleshooting tip: An issue in iOS 8.0 which makes Bluetooth keyboards not working There is a small bug in iOS 8.0, which makes all the Bluetooth keyboards including RiVO not working for VoiceOver except a few functions. We have found a way to cope with it although not a neat one. Once the problem disappears, however, it doesn't appear again unless you change the iPhone Language in Settings, General, Language Region. To make the problem disappear from your iPhone, follow the steps below: a. If you use just one software keyboard in iPhone, temporarily add another in Settings, General, Keyboard, Keyboards, Add New Keyboard. You may add arbitrary one. b. Open the Notes app. c. Create a new note. d. Hold down L1 and press B7 to turn off the quick navigation option. e. Press L3 to turn RiVO into typing mode. f. Hold down L1 and press L3 a few times to cycle through the list of software keyboards. g. Hold down L1 and press B7 to turn on the quick navigation option. h. Now RiVO should work fine. If you want, you may delete the software keyboard temporarily added at Settings, General, Keyboard, Keyboards. Thanks.

Re: Maps in Ios 8
If you double tap the tracking button until it says on with headings, you can hear upcoming street intersections and POIs. This isn't perfect yet, but it can be useful. I haven't tried this next part, but you could combine this with the spoken directions available in iOS7 to get an even better experience. Simply tell Siri directions to [some location] and leave the Maps app open, with tracking set as described. Spoken directions plus notifications of all streets and some POIs...

A two finger double tap will start and stop the last audio that was playing, it has nothing to do with that particular album.

But, if you want to delete any album or song from your iPhone, open music, get focus on the particular album or song in the list, don't open it, but flick up with one finger and you should hear delete? then double tap with one finger and poof, no more album etc. Just like deleting Email, etc. HTH, Richard Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education. - Victor Hugo Sent from my iPhone On Sep 21, 2014, at 4:28 AM, David d.becke...@ntlworld.com wrote: Hi list.

Hi, Cheryl, What is the equivalent of Step f in the instructions, in which you cycle through your available keyboards once you've added one? How do you do this on a full keyboard? It doesn't seem like you'd push the keyboards button on the on-screen keyboard. Thanks, Teresa -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Exporting with KNFB Reader
Hi Sieghard, Sure thing. Open the file explorer screen. Then, double tap on the edit button. Then, do a one finger flick right until you find the document you want to export. You will hear a delete option first, then the next flick gets you to the document name. Double tap and several options will appear. Flick right to Export and double tap. This is where things are not quite perfect yet. The first time, you have to export as KNFB format. Then once you have done that, open the app switcher and go back to KNFB Reader and export in txt or html. The next document you export, you won't have to do the KNFB format.

Fwd: How to solve an issue in iOS 8.0 which makes Bluetooth keyboards not working
Thanks to Cheryl for forwarding this. If you do not have the RiVO keyboard, just use the on screen keyboard and double-tap and hold on the next keyboard button to the right of the numbers button in the lower left of the screen. Once you have added the extra software keyboard and gone through the steps below, at least for me and at least one other person, the bluetooth keyboard is working again, which is what I am writing this message on. Thanks to the RiVo team for figuring this out. Perhaps Apple should hire them. RiVO Troubleshooting tip: An issue in iOS 8.0 which makes Bluetooth keyboards not working There is a small bug in iOS 8.0, which makes all the Bluetooth keyboards including RiVO not working for VoiceOver except a few functions. We have found a way to cope with it although not a neat one. Once the problem disappears, however, it doesn't appear again unless you change the iPhone Language in Settings, General, Language Region. To make the problem disappear from your iPhone, follow the steps below: a. If you use just one software keyboard in iPhone, temporarily add another in Settings, General, Keyboard, Keyboards, Add New Keyboard. You may add arbitrary one. b. Open the Notes app. c. Create a new note. d. Hold down L1 and press B7 to turn off the quick navigation option. e. Press L3 to turn RiVO into typing mode. f. Hold down L1 and press L3 a few times to cycle through the list of software keyboards. g. Hold down L1 and press B7 to turn on the quick navigation option. h. Now RiVO should work fine. If you want, you may delete the software keyboard temporarily added at Settings, General, Keyboard, Keyboards. Thanks.

Importance: High Hello Listers, After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 4s, for a while things were working ok. Then this morning VO started shutting off and back on. It got so bad that I decided to restore the phone. After that, the Apple Bluetooth keyboard is really acting strange. 1. When I arrow around the home screens, the keyboard moves like it should, as long as the quick nav is on. If it's off, while holding down the VO keys, arrowing does nothing. 2. Even if quick nav is on and I am arrowing around, when I come to the app I want to open, I press VO space and the unit just emits a bonk sound and nothing else. 3. When in an edit field, pressing the space bar to go to edit, again, the space bar just bonks. 4. Things like VO k do nothing. As I mentioned earlier today, and yesterday, the bluetooth keyboard was working ok. Any thoughts folks? Thanks a bunch. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Unable to activate buttons with IOS 8
Hi everyone, Well, I went to activate my new iPhone 6 on an app I'm testing for work. The site presents the user with a dashboard and buttons which previously worked on IOS 7. So I went to add my device only to discover that double tapping on the buttons did nothing at all. I assumed this was just a bug with this particular site and app so decided to purchase a song in the iTunes store. Double tapped on the button to purchase, but couldn't activate that either. Is the ability to activate buttons broken in IOS 8? If so, this is a major performance issue which needs to be addressed. Interesting that I'm now getting great results with KNFB reader on the new phone, but this buttons thing is crazy! Any good work-arounds?

Re: Unable to activate buttons with IOS 8
If it's the bug I'm thinking of, in order to activate the buttons you will need to make sure that the button is visually on the screen.

Taylor Sent: Monday, September 15, 2014 12:39 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Apple Releases U2 Removal Tool, Today Hello Listers, The link to actually remove the album is located at the bottom of this post. Mark Apple has released a tool to remove U2's new album from its customers' iTunes accounts six days after giving away the music for free. Some users had complained about the fact that Songs of Innocence had automatically been downloaded to their devices without their permission. It had not been immediately obvious to many of the account holders how to delete the tracks. The US tech firm is now providing a one-click removal button. Some customers asked for the ability to delete 'Songs of Innocence' from their library, so we set up itunes.com/soi-remove to let them easily do so. Any customer that needs additional help should contact AppleCare, spokesman Adam Howorth told the BBC. Users who want to remove the new U2 album can now click a button to do so Users who remove the album and do not download it again before 13 October will be charged for the 11 tracks if they subsequently try to add them again. It's embarrassing for Apple that it's had a bit of a backlash, commented Ian Maude from the media consultancy Enders Analysis. It was giving something away to its customers - so that part was really good - but what it should have probably done was make it optional. Not everybody's a U2 fan as it's just discovered. Is there any long-term impact? No. It's moved very quickly to fix the problem. 'Blood, sweat and tears' Apple made the album available to about 500 million iTunes customers in 119 countries to coincide with its iPhone 6 and Watch launch event last week. Some users had requested an easy way to delete the music from their media libraries U2's singer Bono acknowledged at the time that not everyone would appreciate the gift. People who haven't heard our music, or weren't remotely interested, might play us for the first time because we're in their library, he wrote on the band's site. And for the people out there who have no interest in checking us out, look at it this way... the blood, sweat and tears of some Irish guys are in your junk mail. Bono added that Apple had paid for the giveaway, and reports have suggested that prime placement of banner ads publicising the album on the iTunes store and other publicity provided by the tech firm might be worth as much as $100m (£62m).
Re: Unable to activate buttons with IOS 8

I assumed this was just a bug with this particular site and app so decided to purchase a song in the iTunes store. Double tapped on the button to purchase, but couldn't activate that either. Is the ability to activate buttons broken in IOS 8? If so, this is a major performance issue which needs to be addressed. Interesting that I'm now getting great results with KNFB reader on the new phone, but this buttons thing is crazy! Any good work-arounds?

(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV) Begin forwarded message: Dear our valued RiVO customers, We have found a small but serious issue in iOS 8.0 which could make any Bluetooth keyboards including RiVO not working. If you suffer from the issue, please read on. You may read the text in this email or follow the link to read it from web browser. RiVO Troubleshooting tip: An issue in iOS 8.0 which makes Bluetooth keyboards not working There is a small bug in iOS 8.0, which makes all the Bluetooth keyboards including RiVO not working for VoiceOver except a few functions. We have found a way to cope with it although not a neat one. Once the problem disappears, however, it doesn't appear again unless you change the iPhone Language in Settings, General, Language Region. To make the problem disappear from your iPhone, follow the steps below: a. If you use just one software keyboard in iPhone, temporarily add another in Settings, General, Keyboard, Keyboards, Add New Keyboard. You may add arbitrary one. b. Open the Notes app. c. Create a new note. d. Hold down L1 and press B7 to turn off the quick navigation option. e. Press L3 to turn RiVO into typing mode. f. Hold down L1 and press L3 a few times to cycle through the list of software keyboards. g. Hold down L1 and press B7 to turn on the quick navigation option. h. Now RiVO should work fine. If you want, you may delete the software keyboard temporarily added at Settings, General, Keyboard, Keyboards. Thanks.

Weird issue with Dropbox on iOS eight
I noticed something weird on Dropbox since I have upgraded to I OS 8. If I am listening to an audio file there is no longer a control which allows me to adjust where in the audio file I am at.

I haven't tested it while walking, but while driving it did a decent job. It speaks directions with the same voice as Siri.

This isn't perfect yet, but it can be useful. I haven't tried this next part, but you could combine this with the spoken directions available in iOS7 to get an even better experience. Simply tell Siri directions to [some location] and leave the Maps app open, with tracking set as described. Spoken directions plus notifications of all streets and some POIs...

Hello Penny and list, The buttons sound like they are clearly labeled to me. The problem is that when editing a file, removing the unwanted space at the start and end of the recording is no longer working for VO users. I don't know about sighted users. In iOS 7 I just held either the beginning or ending slider and reset the seconds for the record and double tap done and all was well. But now, under iOS 8, the sliders just say 0 and do not give any info to the VO user as to where the slider has been moved to.

RE: Deleting a book in the current version of the audible app
I posted the instructions yesterday. 1. Tap the delete button at the top, to the left of refresh 2. Find the Edit Mode button by moving your finger to the left from a book title and double tap or split tap it once you found it. 3. Now find the Delete button (not the one at the top) but the one to the right of each book title. Double tap it and you will get the prompt asking you whether you want to delete the book. For me swiping to the Edit Mode button and double tapping it and then swiping to the Delete button does not work. I have to physically move to the buttons on the screen. If you swipe you will find that they are not in order, e.g. I think the book title is read first, then if you swipe right the Edit Mode button is announced, but it's actually physically to the left of the book title near the edge of the screen and then if you swipe right again the delete button is read which is located towards the right edge of the screen. They are, however, fairly easy to find if you move straight left from the book title and straight right. I really think this is an unfortunate step back in the accessibility of the Audible app and I hope Audible will listen to our feedback and put the action rotor back. Another thing I don't like is how the Jump Back button does not stay a Chapter Back button when you double tap the CoverArt for the book and use it once. I don't know if everybody knows that, but normally the button to the left of Play is Jump Back and to the right of Play in this version is a Jump Forward button. If I want to jump back to the beginning of a chapter I can double tap on the CoverArt area which takes up a good portion of the screen about in the middle of the phone. Then the Jump Back button turns into a Chapter Backward button and the Jump Forward button becomes a Chapter Forward button. This is a nice feature, but as soon as I double tap once on Chapter Backward or Forward, the buttons go back to Jump Back and Jump Forward. In other words if I want to jump back 2 or 3 chapters, I have to double tap on the CoverArt, then double tap the chapter backward button, double tap once or so on Jump Backward to get back into the previous chapter, then I have to double tap again on the CoverArt to change the buttons and again double tap on Chapter Backward. I think it would be better if the button stayed on Chapter Backward either until you change it or at least it should stay for longer so it's possible to jump back multiple chapters quickly without having to bring up the Chatpers list. Lastly, and this was also not in the previous version, I always wish I could use the scrub gesture to go back out of a book back to the main screen with my book list, but it is necessary to double tap on the Back button at the top left since the scrub gesture is not implemented in the app. Regards, Sieghard /Back button and the Jump FGo From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Cathy Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2014 5:14 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Deleting a book in the current version of the audible app I to, am not sure how to delete books in the audible app since the update.

Re: Deleting a book in the current version of the audible app
There is a much older version of the Audible app, which I still have on my old iPad one, which actually has a previous chapter button in it. As long as we're wishing, I wish they would simply put that back, keep the jump back button, and never mind the silly cover art nonsense. Mary Sent from my iPad On Sep 21, 2014, at 9:32 AM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: I posted the instructions yesterday. 1. Tap the delete button at the top, to the left of refresh 2. Find the Edit Mode button by moving your finger to the left from a book title and double tap or split tap it once you found it. 3. Now find the Delete button (not the one at the top) but the one to the right of each book title. Double tap it and you will get the prompt asking you whether you want to delete the book. For me swiping to the Edit Mode button and double tapping it and then swiping to the Delete button does not work. I have to physically move to the buttons on the screen. If you swipe you will find that they are not in order, e.g. I think the book title is read first, then if you swipe right the Edit Mode button is announced, but it's actually physically to the left of the book title near the edge of the screen and then if you swipe right again the delete button is read which is located towards the right edge of the screen. They are, however, fairly easy to find if you move straight left from the book title and straight right. I really think this is an unfortunate step back in the accessibility of the Audible app and I hope Audible will listen to our feedback and put the action rotor back. Another thing I don’t like is how the Jump Back button does not stay a Chapter Back button when you double tap the CoverArt for the book and use it once. I don’t know if everybody knows that, but normally the button to the left of Play is Jump Back and to the right of Play in this version is a Jump Forward button. If I want to jump back to the beginning of a chapter I can double tap on the CoverArt area which takes up a good portion of the screen about in the middle of the phone. Then the Jump Back button turns into a Chapter Backward button and the Jump Forward button becomes a Chapter Forward button. This is a nice feature, but as soon as I double tap once on Chapter Backward or Forward, the buttons go back to Jump Back and Jump Forward. In other words if I want to jump back 2 or 3 chapters, I have to double tap on the CoverArt, then double tap the chapter backward button, double tap once or so on Jump Backward to get back into the previous chapter, then I have to double tap again on the CoverArt to change the buttons and again double tap on Chapter Backward. I think it would be better if the button stayed on Chapter Backward either until you change it or at least it should stay for longer so it’s possible to jump back multiple chapters quickly without having to bring up the Chatpers list. Lastly, and this was also not in the previous version, I always wish I could use the scrub gesture to go back out of a book back to the main screen with my book list, but it is necessary to double tap on the Back button at the top left since the scrub gesture is not implemented in the app. Regards, Sieghard /Back button and the Jump FGo From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Cathy Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2014 5:14 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Deleting a book in the current version of the audible app I to, am not sure how to delete books in the audible app since the update.

KNFB officially says it works pon the iPhone 5 and up, but several people on the list have reported that it works just as good if a bit slower on an iPhone 4S. This is of course only logical since especially between the 4S and the 5 there is very little difference in the camera. Even the difference between the 4S camera and the iPhone 6 camera is not that much, same 8 MP, 6 has a sensor with larger pixels which is good but probably not crutial for OCR and the flash on the 5S and 6 is a true tone flash which yields better colour rendering in low light, once again, not something I would think makes a great difference when it comes to lighting up a page of text. The app, in fact, even works on the iPod Touch Fifth Gen although if that is your only device you definitely may want to think twice about spending that much since the iPod has no vibration so the tilt control would not work and you wouldn't benefit fully from the features of the app. It is my assumption that it would work just as well or even better on Ed's iPad Fourth Gen since it has an A6 processor which is a generation better than that of the iPod Touch, but it still only has a 5 MP camera just like the iPod Touch and no vibration.

RE: touch typing with ios8
Hi Teresa. I don’t understand when you say that direct touch typing is similar than typing on a keyboard. I mean, I have IOs7.x, and I know 2 typing mode; standard typing, and touch typing. The first is doing a double tab on each letter that we want to tuype. The second is sliding our finger until the letter we want to type, and releasing the finger on that letter. Automaticly the letter is typed with out double tab. When you say that direct touch typing is similar than typing on a keyboard, I can’t figure out how is it. Can you give me more details?

It's different from touch typing because with touch typing you can just slide your finger around and lift up. The direct touch typing needs a definite tap and then a quick release.

RE: Exporting with KNFB Reader
Thanks, Richard, everything worked as you described. I did, however, not even go all the way to save the KNFB format file. I just selected KNFB as the format, then selected Dropbox. At this point I cancelled out of Dropbox, went back to KNFB and changed it to text file and it worked. Yes, a small bug, but not a big deal. By the way, I have not had time to read the manual, do you know what that low sound means. It sounds like a very short blast of a fog horn at super low volume. When I am in the KNFB Reader app I get it about every 5 seconds or so. I am asking because I do believe this is another bug, but something when I go back out of KNFB Reader by pressing the home button that sound continues to play every few seconds until I finally get tired of it and throw KNFB Reader out of the app switcher.

Double tap or split tap this button. 4. Now check to the right of the title on the right edge there is a delete button beside each title. If you double tap or split tap on it after first tapping the edit button you will be prompted to delete the book. Cheryl, could you maybe check once more really carefully which version you have by going to Settings and then look towards the bottom. The most current version is 2.2.1 (351). I currently have quite a few books downloaded, but if you really have this built and the action rotor still works I think I will have to bite the bullet and delete the app completely, reinstall it and then redownload my books to see if this brings back the action rotor option which really was great as far as deleteing books is concerned. Also, just to be on the same page, do you have it set to download the book as one large single download or do you still download in parts?

Re: Hilarious three days and still can't install IOS 8 on a 5S
I think since Apple is using its own CDN to distribute iOS 8, there may be certain ares where people are having more issues with the download than others and this may be much different than with past releases. I finally got frustrated after a couple of days and connected to a VPN server and the download worked perfectly, even though I was unable to get it to complete using my home ISP.

While I do find them a major statement about Apple's commitment to accessibility as I just can't get over the fact that Apple released a iPhone operating system where blind people can't dial a phone number. I guess that means that blind people won't be able to tell time with the iWatch. For the first time ever I am going to actually start paying more attention to Droid related info, as I do question how much testing Apple is actually doing with VO if this kind of a bug is going to appear in the release. I also have not been able to download any high quality voices after leaving the screen on trying to download the Australian HQ voice for six hours it was only at 25megs of 125 downloaded.

Mark Apple has released a tool to remove U2's new album from its customers' iTunes accounts six days after giving away the music for free. Some users had complained about the fact that Songs of Innocence had automatically been downloaded to their devices without their permission. It had not been immediately obvious to many of the account holders how to delete the tracks. The US tech firm is now providing a one-click removal button. Some customers asked for the ability to delete 'Songs of Innocence' from their library, so we set up itunes.com/soi-remove to let them easily do so. Any customer that needs additional help should contact AppleCare, spokesman Adam Howorth told the BBC. Users who want to remove the new U2 album can now click a button to do so Users who remove the album and do not download it again before 13 October will be charged for the 11 tracks if they subsequently try to add them again. It's embarrassing for Apple that it's had a bit of a backlash, commented Ian Maude from the media consultancy Enders Analysis. It was giving something away to its customers - so that part was really good - but what it should have probably done was make it optional. Not everybody's a U2 fan as it's just discovered. Is there any long-term impact? No. It's moved very quickly to fix the problem. 'Blood, sweat and tears' Apple made the album available to about 500 million iTunes customers in 119 countries to coincide with its iPhone 6 and Watch launch event last week. Some users had requested an easy way to delete the music from their media libraries U2's singer Bono acknowledged at the time that not everyone would appreciate the gift.

She most definitely isn't watching what she is typing, and the clicking sound that accompanies each keystroke simply can't keep up with her movement.

Re: touch typing with ios8
Actually, you can use it the way Theresa described it, but the way it's supposed to be used is sort of like Fleksy, from my understanding. You tap directly on the letter you want to input, not find it in then lift up as you do in the regular touch typing mode. As you can imagine, this requires very, very good muscle memory. I might try it, but it will probably take me a while to become proficient. Thanks, Ari On Sep 21, 2014, at 9:41 AM, Pablo Morales pablomorale...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Teresa.

I also love interactive notifications and widgets, and (once Yosemite comes out) I'm really looking forward to Handoff. The Alex voice is great, and I'm sad that my 5 won't support it. It will also be nice to have Fleksy as a global keyboard, though at the moment that isn't looking too good. Still, just the potential for it to happen soon is closer than we've ever been, and in the meantime the braille is still there. More rotor actions, the fact that notifications no longer interrupt a say-all (except texts), and other small changes are also great to have. Overall, since I don't use a keyboard or braille display, I can live with the bugs that I experience, and I find the benefits outweigh the problems. Plus, you have to figure that Apple Accessibility got hit hard with bug reports, as well they should have. When the bluetooth keyboard problems in iOS7 appeared in last year's initial release, a fix was out within a couple weeks. I'd be amazed if the same thing didn't happen again, perhaps as part of the October update that is said to enable Apple Pay.
