A New App

2015-01-16 Thread Angelvoice
Hi, all!

This app was created to help the blind and visually impaired to see with
the help of sighted volunteers. Sounds interesting. Check out an article
from the link below:

Cheers!

Re: Apple notice seems fishy to me

No; I did none of these things. I don't even have a passcode set up on my 
device--an iPhone 4S--although I plan to do so when I get my new iPhone 6 at 
some point. Do you think I should change my password? Of course, I wouldn't do 
it through that email. :)


Thanks,

Re: Plantronix voyager Legend headset question

2015-01-16 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
Another thing i wonder about since i’m thinking of getting a Legend headset is: 
How easy is it to set up if you don’t have a sighted person to  help you? Is 
the apps that do the setup and so on accessible at all? In my case i guess it’s 
a matter of deciding what language to use.

 Try making a phone call and then press the Voice button while on the call to

 If that doesn't work, leave the headset down flat on a hard surface for 10

 And finally, if all else fails, use the headset updater to restore factory 
 settings. This should resolve the problem, I think.

 Hi all,
 
 I now have the Plantronix voyager Legend headset, and it seems I have muted 
 the microphone so I can’t talk or give it a voice command.  if I try to 
 make a call, it keeps saying “mute on.”  I saw a review of this on applevis 
 that said the mute button is the same as the vioce button, which gets you 
 into the vioce commands interface, and it said that when on a call, I can 
 press that button to unmute, but it is not unmuting.  It just keeps saying 
 mute on or beeping.  also, the review said that you press the button once 
 to unmute or hold it down for the voice command interface.  Problem here is 
 I don’t have to hold it down for the command interface to come up; I press 
 it and it says say a command immediately.  of course, I can’t actually give 
 it one because it is muted.  any help would be appreciated.  obviously, 
 something isn’t right here.

Re: Plantronics voyager Legend headset question

2015-01-16 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi there,
Maybe a difficult question to answer here, but which of the two headsets do you 
think is the better one, the Edge or the Legend? Asking because i’m thinking of 
getting a new bluetooth headset.
/Krister

 16 jan 2015 kl. 01:27 skrev Merv Keck blind5spar...@gmail.com:
 
 Hi,
 I have the Edge and it is a very nice ear piece. The battery life is quite a 
 bit longer than the legend. Although once in a while it needs to be placed in 
 a battery charge case for a boost. Also it is really small and light compared 
 to the Legend and the little loop that will hold it on to your ear in 
 addition to the little rubber part that goes in to your ear makes it 
 difficult to place it on to the battery booster case for the extended battery 
 life. Or so the sighted assistance informed me.
 We still have not figured out how to get the Legend working again. I am 
 hoping she did not bend it too far and break it in a way that it is staying 
 muted permanently or something. I am trying to run it down to dead so I can 
 charge it all over again and hopefully reset it because I could not reset it 
 to factory settings any other way, Sad Face! Another nice thing about the 
 Edge is the Plantronics Hub app that lets me see settings and time remaining 
 and send a beep to find my headset, Smile!

Considering that 1) information posted about Apple Watch according to iOS 8.2 
has VoiceOver on the watch itself, and 2) Apple received a pattent for glass 
which also acts as a speaker that is reportedly fully functioning in Korning 
(the manufacturers of Guerilla Glass) labs, this glass is expected to be 
incorporated on the Apple Watch. Therefore, reports of no speaker in the watch 
may not be relavent.

Re: Apple notice seems fishy to me

2015-01-16 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Yes. Change the password for your Apple ID and if you've used the old
password on other services change it on them also. NB: from a security
point of view it would be best if you did this from your iPhone. Next,
assuming you use a Windows computer, run scans using your anti virus 
anti malware software to try and determin if the computer is infected
or not. If so, clean the infections or pay someone to do it for you.
Once done, change the passwords for all services that have been used
on said computer. When something like this happens and you simply
can't be sure of how it did, it's always best to assume the worst IMO.

Cheers,
Ben.

Re: iHealth Blood Pressure Monitor And Software

Hi, 

I just downloaded the 2,0 version and you are right, you cannot activate an 
edit field. 

I would write to them telling them of such. I would ask if they could replicate 
the behaviour of the ihealth blood glucose app: ibg5. As I am able to manually 
enter blood sugar data in this app. 

Sorry I can't be of more help,

 Hello All,
  
 I just want to report back my experience with the Be My Eyes. When I tapped 
 on the button to connect to a sighted person, the click sound feedback from 
 VO reduced in volume. Once the sighted person was connected to me, the volume 
 returned to the lavel that it was set to. The individual that assisted me 
 gave good instructions in correcting the bottle. I needed to identify if the 
 bottle was shampoo or conditioner. I received the response promptly. I 
 decided to use the app because Digit-Eyes couldn't find the barcode on this 
 item. It was a pleasure to have something similar to BizWiz once again in the 
 ability to ask a question in real time. The only wait time was to be 
 connected to a sighted individual, but once that occurred the amount of time 
 to receive a answer was quick. I'm hofing that in the future that the 
 business model will be reasonable. This app is definitely a winner.

If that doesn't work, leave the headset down flat on a hard surface for 10

And finally, if all else fails, use the headset updater to restore factory

  I now have the Plantronix voyager Legend headset, and it seems I have 
muted the microphone so I can’t talk or give it a voice command.  if I try to 
make a call, it keeps saying “mute on.”  I saw a review of this on applevis 
that said the mute button is the same as the vioce button, which gets you into 
the vioce commands interface, and it said that when on a call, I can press that 
button to unmute, but it is not unmuting.  It just keeps saying mute on or 
beeping.  also, the review said that you press the button once to unmute or 
hold it down for the voice command interface.  Problem here is I don’t have to 
hold it down for the command interface to come up; I press it and it says say a 
command immediately.  of course, I can’t actually give it one because it is 
muted.  any help would be appreciated.  obviously, something isn’t right here.

Audio Settings - Re: YouVersion Bible Question

2015-01-16 Thread Karen Poulakos
I selected a version that has audio settings, and found the audio settings 
button at the bottom of the screen.  However when I tap the audio settings 
button, nothing happens.


I turned VoiceOver off, and had my husband take a look, and he got the audio 
to play.  When I turned VoiceOver back on, I was unable to find the button 
to turn the audio off and on.

Check to see if your bible has audio already. If you have an audio
version, at the bottom of the screen you will have an audio setting.
You may need to download the audio version which you are using. Not
all versions of the bible have audio associated with them. To do this,
choose menu from the top left of your screen. Then at the top right
double click on the version you are reading. Go down the list of
bibles and you will be told which have audio versions. You will need
to download the audio.

Looking for anyone using Square for CC processing on IOS 8

2015-01-16 Thread Karl Smith
I have been using Square on my iPhone 4s with a focus 14 blue Braille display 
for some time now with general success. Recently I updated my phone to IOS 
8.1.2 and things have gone downhill seriously. Now I can’t enter information 
with my Braille display and in fact I have to use that crazy number pad on the 
screen for everything. I can’t even enter text in the note area as I always 
did. Also when I get done entering the transaction and the app goes to the 
signature screen Voiceover goes silent and I can’t get to the done signing 
button. Is anyone out there using Square with IOS 8.1.2 and if so do you have 
any suggestions? Thanks.

 

Karl

how to perform a double finger tap with brail shortcuts

2015-01-16 Thread Davy Cuppens

Hi Folks

The subject says it all, is there a brail shortcut when an iPhone is 
connected to a brail display to perform a double finger tap. You can use the 
p 1234 to toggle speech or the m 134 to mute but these two keystrokes won't 
stop playing music or videos or accept or end a telephone call.

Regards
Davy

RE: Anyone having trouble with the latest Facebook app update

2015-01-16 Thread Merv Keck
Hi,

I avoid FB anyway on principal, however, I do have it and for  the last
several versions FB on my iPhone 5S has been annoying me by telling me I
have 75 or more notifications. This is not unusual since I rarely check FB
or update my status on FB. I will go there and go to notifications and then
it will say zero or 11 and then 0. Then five minutes later it will be back
to the original 75 so I have learned to just ignore FB completely unless I
want to read it which is maybe once or twice a month, laughs! At most! What
can I say I'm a Twitterific kind of dude.

I don’t see a way to do the two finger  double tap with the braille display. 
I think you still have to do a two finger tap on the  iPhone it self.

Re: how to perform a double finger tap with brail shortcuts

2015-01-16 Thread Teresa Cochran
 Hi, Davy,

It depends on the Braille display. I have a Focus 40 Blue, and there is a 
dedicated key for this. You might try going into keyboard help and press 
selection keys or their equivalent to find out what they do. Sometimes 
double-tapping a router key above a character works as well.

 you need for the option keys are the control and option. The FNP you only

You can read various Bibles using VoiceOver or, alternatively, look through

I haven't actually used any of the speech recordings myself but, if you're

A friend at church shared with me that the YouVersion Bible has built in

reading the screen, or whether it might be a recording.  When my friend
demonstrated it for me on her phone, I really liked the way it read much
better than with Voiceover.  It didn't read all the verse numbers, and the
reading was much smoother.

I have the YouVersion Bible on my phone, but can't seem to find a setting

Re: Anyone having trouble with the latest facebook app update

2015-01-16 Thread Davy Cuppens
Hi all 

There is a simple way to avoid these accessibility problems but for most of you 
it is too late.
Go to settings/itunes and appstore and put the update button for apps off 
instead of on. You can stil do updates manually in the appstore on the update 
screen. It has been 5 or 6 times now in the last half year that with updating 
the fb app there have become serious problems in the accessibility issues with 
voiceover.
Don’t complain with Apple for this, this is a facebook problem.
I am working with a fine fb app. Some blind chaps blame me being an extremely 
defensive iPhone user while I’m still using ios 7.12 and often not doing normal 
app updates. Why should one update things that work just great without any 
accessibility problems?

Re: uVersion bible app?

I don't receive many and they're usually following up on a plan I'm doing.

Maybe you could go to their site and look to see what you're subscribed to 
receive from them, assuming this is available.

Re: YouVersion Bible Question

2015-01-16 Thread Karen Poulakos

Thanks Carol,

I had been using a version that was not supported by audio, so didn't 
realize it was available.  I didn't enjoy reading it with VoiceOver, because 
it seemed choppy to me, and I found the reading of all the verse numbers to 
be a distraction.


Then, when I switched versions, and found the audio settings button, I was 
expecting a menu to pop up, and it seemed like nothing was happening.  When 
I had my husband look at it with VoiceOver off, he said he tapped a speaker 
button at the bottom right.  I couldn't find that with VoiceOver.   Thanks 
to the helpful people in this group, I found the play button, and am happy 
to have it working.

Hi,

You can read various Bibles using VoiceOver or, alternatively, look through
the list of Bibles and choose one that has recorded speech and play it.

I haven't actually used any of the speech recordings myself but, if you're

A friend at church shared with me that the YouVersion Bible has built in

reading the screen, or whether it might be a recording.  When my friend
demonstrated it for me on her phone, I really liked the way it read much
better than with Voiceover.  It didn't read all the verse numbers, and the
reading was much smoother.

I have the YouVersion Bible on my phone, but can't seem to find a setting
that will have it read using its own voice, or recording.  Can someone
please Help?.

RE: Plantronics voyager Legend headset question

2015-01-16 Thread Merv Keck
Hi,

Having both here side by side I can honestly say it depends on your
preference. Technically the Edge is the newer model, However, the Legend is
a little bigger and a little more comfortable on the ear. Ok let me see if I
can be a little more organized:

Legend:

Pros:

More comfortable on the ear.

No learning curve at all.AC charger.

Cons:

Not much in the way of app support.

 

Edge

Pros:

Smaller than the Legends and lighter in the ear.

I 

food app support. It has two apps that you can use or not use depending on
your choice.

Longer battery life. Six hours instead of seven initially, however, it comes
with a case that you put it in when at rest that will extend it another ten
hours at least. I have only charged it once in over a week.

Cons:

 https://www.sendspace.com/folder/hjlgm9 It is smaller and lighter than
the legend, however, it by design has this little plastic loop that is
difficult to put on the ear piece. I still have not found someone who can
get it on. The retired engineer who put it on alleges that when it is on it
won't fit properly in the battery case that extends the charge from six to
sixteen hours.

I worry I'm going to lose the little ear piece when I am in the grocery
store using my Quest which is what I use it with more than my phone.

It does have more of a learning curve than the legend although I figured
everything out eventually. Being newly blind I worry how will I know when to
charge it once I can't read the two 3 segmented status lights. Of course
people who have been blind all their life probably have that figured out
already. I have only been not a high partial a short time. I'm still working
these things out. Last week I went to use my razor and didn't realize the
red charging light had not come on. I'm used to using my eyes to see such
things, sad face!

So right now the little plastic loop is not on and it just sits in the ear
snugly and defies gravity.

No AC Adaptor. I have two laptops and my main laptop is having issues with
the USB drivers so I need to turn on my spare laptop when the thing needs
charged until I figure out how to resolve the driver conflict. I liked the
legend AC charger which was basically a plug with a 3 inch cord and a
magnet. The edge is a micro sd connection 3 inches of cord and a USB
connection. Very inconvenient.

 

So as you can see it depends on your needs. I tend to need a longer battery
sometimes as I go away in the morning and am gone for 8 hours at a time with
nowhere to charge the beast. So I decided to try the edge. I still have not
figured out what the spouse did to the legend in just 3 days that it will
not unmute, laughs!

Re: uVersion bible app?

2015-01-16 Thread carol.pearso...@googlemail.com
OK, this is really for Sharonda and I did write earlier, but have now 
checked out a couple of things to see if they still work.


You still do  double tap the verse(s) you want to select.  From there you 
look on the lower right part of the screen for an Action button.  Double 
tap and From there you can copy, email, etc.


I did try to copy both consecutive verses and a few verses not being 
consecutive.  It looked as though it should work just the same as I could 
get clarification of the verses I had selected.  .  However, once I had left 
the app, intending to paste that which I'd copied to clipboard, there 
appeared to be nothing there.


I don't have time to play any more today but hope this gives you an idea to 
try out.


\let me know of your success, or otherwise.

They certainly havfe got a pretty smart app now at Bible Gateway, which 
wasn't always the case.


I flit between the two, depending on what I want to do.

I often do my searches via Gateway.

Don't have time to play around enough to say just what works and does not on 
either, sadly, as I need to get on with using it for its purpose, as I need 
right then, before doing something else completely different;  but maybe, 
when I get time to play on my phone, I may do some testing of features on 
both.

Re: Native iOS clock, alarms and YocktoClock

2015-01-16 Thread Alan J Paganelli

Hi All,

When I've used the native alarm, I had to turn on snooz.  Then when I would 
press one of the up/down buttons the alarm would again go off.  If I 
remember right, it was something like in 5 minutes.  I don't remember if 
that interval was adjustable.

Greetings. I have been using the YocktoClock app for wake up alarms

since I had used that before YocktoClock, but I don't recall how to
use the alarm feature. When an alarm is going off, is there a gesture
that I can use to snooze the alarm without touching the screen? I
discovered this morning that if you press one of the volume buttons,
that shuts the alarm off for the day. In YocktoClock, if I pressed a
volume button, that was the same as hitting the snooze function. I am
looking for something with gestures, easy to use, that has an alarm
sound fade in, and that has many alarm sounds. Using an iPhone 6 wiht

Re: Audio Settings - Re: YouVersion Bible Question

2015-01-16 Thread carol.pearso...@googlemail.com

Hi Karen,

Hmm!  This could be another VO bug, perhaps.  Before deciding this, perhaps 
you could just keep VoiceOver on and slide your finger gently, quite slowly, 
across the screen to find the Play button.  Sometimes, when the buttons are 
small, you only find them by going slowly.  (Your husband may well be able 
to tell you where to go for this.)  If you can get the button to speak, then 
double tap as close as you can get to the button and see what happens.


If you can't find the button with the speech on, I suggest you report it to 
Apple Accessability and I'll do likewise, once I've installed a version that 
speaks.


Again, if you do locate the button and double tap and it still doesn't work, 
please report it.  You can also report it directly to the techs who maintain 
the app, but I can't remember the procedure now as it's quite some time 
since I last did that.  You should find those details somewhere in Help. 
Sorry, I don't have the time to do this now as we're shortly going out.


Hope this helps a bit.

Check to see if your bible has audio already. If you have an audio
version, at the bottom of the screen you will have an audio setting.
You may need to download the audio version which you are using. Not
all versions of the bible have audio associated with them. To do this,
choose menu from the top left of your screen. Then at the top right
double click on the version you are reading. Go down the list of
bibles and you will be told which have audio versions. You will need
to download the audio.

Next go to menu and then choose read.

Next after that choose play.
I don't know if this works for bible plans too or not so try at your own

You work with a real person with this app. They can tell you how to hold the 
camera so they can better see what you are trying to discover. Tap Tap See is 
just a picture you send off to a crowd source and if you have only half of the

Thanks Carol,

I had been using a version that was not supported by audio, so didn't
realize it was available.  I didn't enjoy reading it with VoiceOver, because
it seemed choppy to me, and I found the reading of all the verse numbers to
be a distraction.

Then, when I switched versions, and found the audio settings button, I was
expecting a menu to pop up, and it seemed like nothing was happening.  When
I had my husband look at it with VoiceOver off, he said he tapped a speaker
button at the bottom right.  I couldn't find that with VoiceOver.   Thanks
to the helpful people in this group, I found the play button, and am happy
to have it working.

Hi,

You can read various Bibles using VoiceOver or, alternatively, look through
the list of Bibles and choose one that has recorded speech and play it.

I haven't actually used any of the speech recordings myself but, if you're
stuck, I'll have a play if you say you're stuck.

A friend at church shared with me that the YouVersion Bible has built in
speech, which reads the Bible out loud.  I'm not sure whether it's actually
reading the screen, or whether it might be a recording.  When my friend
demonstrated it for me on her phone, I really liked the way it read much
better than with Voiceover.  It didn't read all the verse numbers, and the
reading was much smoother.

I have the YouVersion Bible on my phone, but can't seem to find a setting
that will have it read using its own voice, or recording.  Can someone
please Help?.

RE: Native iOS clock, alarms and YocktoClock

They changed it, snooze is always turned on unless you turn it off and I hate 
it.  I always forget to edit and take it out and then wonder why every few 
minutes my phone is making noise and generally I am nowhere near it to fix it.  
I wish it was turned off with options to turn it on like it was in earlier

Hi All,

When I've used the native alarm, I had to turn on snooz.  Then when I would 
press one of the up/down buttons the alarm would again go off.  If I 
remember right, it was something like in 5 minutes.  I don't remember if 
that interval was adjustable.

 Greetings. I have been using the YocktoClock app for wake up alarms

 looking for another wake up alarm app. I went to the native Clock app
 since I had used that before YocktoClock, but I don't recall how to
 use the alarm feature. When an alarm is going off, is there a gesture
 that I can use to snooze the alarm without touching the screen? I
 discovered this morning that if you press one of the volume buttons,
 that shuts the alarm off for the day. In YocktoClock, if I pressed a
 volume button, that was the same as hitting the snooze function. I am
 looking for something with gestures, easy to use, that has an alarm
 sound fade in, and that has many alarm sounds. Using an iPhone 6 wiht

Always good to keep in mind with these types of services that you don’t know 
whose on the other end so it goes without saying to not use for things like 
identifying personal correspondence or financial info, etc. that and remember

Are you able to select verses for creating notes or sharing with the
updated version? I have decided not to upgrade until I get this sorted
out. I love creating notes and/or sharing verses on facebook and such.
Does anyone have the answer to this? Thanks so much.

RE: Be my eyes now available in the US App Store.

2015-01-16 Thread Neal Ewers
I don’t think Alan said he was being forced to use this. He was, in my mind, 
wondering about whether people would use it for their entertainment rather than 
for their actual needs. Of course, we don’t have control over that, but it 
would be a shame if people took such advantage of this real connection with a 
sighted person that the developers of the app will be forced to charge for it’s 
use. Having said that, I also need to say that some amount of using the site 
will be necessary for people if they are to know how well they can expect it to 
work. Of course, how well it works will change with the person on the other end 
of the communication link, but we do need to have some experience with the app 
before knowing that we can use it in and emergency. I didn’t really need to 
know the information about the picture on my wall I asked about yesterday, but 
I felt I needed to see how it worked for starters. If everyone who purchases 
the app feels they need to do this at least once, then there will be more use 
of the facilities at first then there may be at a later date. Perhaps some of 
this could be avoided were someone to do a podcast on this and actually walk 
through how it works with by using it to communicate with the sighted person.

2015-01-16 Thread Charles Rivard
It varies in that you are working with a sighted person in real time.  Tap Tap 
See now charges for the service because the sighted workers are paid.  These 
are volunteers.  I would not worry about this policy changing, because this 
decision is up to those in charge, and I'm not about to jump the gun 
unnecessarily.  As for people playing around with the app rather than using it 
strictly seriously, that's their prerogative.  I won't tell them how to, or not 
to, use the service.

RE: Be my eyes now available in the US App Store.

2015-01-16 Thread Merv Keck
Hi,

Good luck Rose. I spent two days unexpedely in the hospital two weeks  ago
and I thought up until that point that keeping everyone's medication in
exactly the same spot all the time was the perfect solution. It was not. One
person came in to help someone in the house out and moved everything in a
well-meaning attempt to help out and it took two weeks to get all our
prescription and over the counter medications straight. We use Walgreens who
does not really have a decent solution for talking prescriptions and I have
not found a good iPhone app obviously due to the shape of the bottles. I
could use CVS but they do not deliver and they charge more than Walgreens as
does our insurance company delivery service. So Walgreens and back to
keeping things in the exact same place for now it is.

Merv

Apple said to hold special media event in February
by MacDailyNews
[cfsp key=adsense_336x280]Research, rumor and a timely update, inform us 
that Apple will be holding a special event in February 2015, Mark Reschke 
reports for T-GAAP. Exact timing is still unclear, but Tuesday, February 24th, 
may indeed be the event date, with an as of yet unknown announcement.

From what we have gleaned, Tim Cook will revisit Apple Watch, recapping its 
capabilities and possibly showing off some new features not yet revealed, 
Reschke reports. In addition we will learn about regional launch dates and 
pricing for all models and wristband options.

Reschke reports, The second announcement will be the unveiling of a fan-less 
12-inch MacBook.

to learn to use it with my 4S.  I am writing in the hope that someone 
will post a capsule synopsis of the pros and cons of using the Focus 40 
with an IOS device.  I seem to recall reading that other braille 
displays support more of the IOS command set than the Focus, I hope to 
learn its strengths and its weaknesses.  I did find a podcast from 
Freedom Scientific, but I didn't find it particularly comprehensive.


Thanks in advance for feedback.

Hello,

Yesterday I needed to identify a hair product that DigitEyes would not pick up. 
Since I had downloaded the app earlier in the day, I decided to give it a spin. 
This app reminds me very much of VizWiz, but has taken object recognition to

RE: Query re upgrading to IPhone 6 or 6+?

2015-01-16 Thread Deidre Muccio
I have a new 6 and initially I was terrified it would go sailing out of my
hand. I didn't even use it for an entire day. I have a silicone case on it
now but  will replace that one with one a bit thicker that has some kind of
padding in it. Once I got over my terror, though the 6 is very light and
thin - with terrible speaker sound than my 4S, much  too my disappointment,
it nearly immediately started to feel normal using it.  The new phone
however is causing all kinds of interference with my old 4S with a different
number and carrier on it though I am still using the same Apple ID. It also
seems to be significantly slowing down retrieving mail on my computer. Oh
yes the 4S won't let me send text messages anymore nor reply to a message
either - that is just weird. Some setting must need changing cause the new
phone seems to be bullying all the other devices. Is this an I Cloud issue?
I back up using I Tunes on the computer so maybe I can change some setting
in ICloud or do something in devices?

I just got my 6 (upgraded from a 4s) and it feels quite a bit bigger to me.
My hands are not exceptionally small, but the screen is much larger and
changes quite a bit the reach when I type or attempt to locate icons.

That is just my experience and I'm sure I'll get accustomed to it.
Also, I am using it without a case.

   The 6 is only just wider than previous modles, so holding the phone

 My problem is this!  I hold my phone, facing away from me, between

 Now, I can't reach the width to do this on either of the new 
 phones.  I haven't been able to play properly because all the phones 
 are tied down so as to stop theft, but this means I can't have a 
 case on to stop them slipping from my fingers!

 How do people hold their 6 and 6+ when brailling?

 I wish I could be convinced that this would work well enough for me.
 I've tried table top mode, in every conceivable way that I can think 
 of, but still haven't been satisfied so far.

 Any other comments still very welcome, thanks.

   Its just the same as using a 4S or 5. In screen away mode, It 
 doesn't matter about the screen size so you can touch near each end if 
 you want. You don't have to try to reach the centre of the screen.

Re: Be my eyes now available in the US App Store.

2015-01-16 Thread Charles Rivard
I just tried the app for the first time and found out that a package of vacuum 
cleaner bags that I had are identical to the ones I just received in the mail.  
Now, I have plenty.  I also found out some things about my portable chess 
computer that I did not know.  The conversation went very well, and the 
person's whose eyes I borrowed was very friendly and congenial.  She and I both 
are using an iPhone 5, and we both signed up yesterday.  I found it interesting 
that he knew my name when she answered the summons.  She said that Charles is 
sending a request.  I also noticed that the volume of the phone greatly 
decreased during the wait for a contact, but it does play some tones that let 
you know that the app is still trying to connect.  She also said that I have a 
really good-looking Labrador Retriever.  He walked in front of the table I was 
setting things on to be viewed.

I think this app is really awesome, and that it will be extremely helpful.  It 
is very simple to use, and worked successfully the very first time.  The camera 
on the back of the phone is the active one.  If you get too close or too far 
away, it will be blurry, but she was able to direct me on how far to hold the 
camera from what should be viewed.  As a blind person, this may take practice, 
but it really worked well.

  Hello,

   

  Yesterday I needed to identify a hair product that DigitEyes would not pick 
up. Since I had downloaded the app earlier in the day, I decided to give it a 
spin. This app reminds me very much of VizWiz, but has taken object recognition 
to the next level. The beauty of this app is that it is done in real time, with 
the helper giving you instructions in the optimum position to give the blind 
individual the information one wants. The tremendous advantage of Be My Eyes 
over TapTapSee is that one can ask specific questions about the item in 
question. With all apps like this, one should use good judgment in having 
sensitive or personal information not identified. This is to protect your own 
identity and security. That said, I was impressed in the rapid response and 
obtaining the information I needed. With VizWiz, it could take almost all day 
to get a response. I hope this assists others in giving the app a spin. Also, 
on a podcast I listened to this morning stated that they are a nonprofit 
organization and funding will end in September. Who knows what the business 
model will be, but in my opinion it would be worth The cost if it's reasonable 
to continue the service. The ability to receive accurate information is the 
quenching factor for me and that's a big difference from TapTapSee.

   

  Best,

  Eileen

the site will be necessary for people if they are to know how well they can 
expect it to work. Of course, how well it works will change with the person on 
the other end of the communication link, but we do need to have some experience 
with the app before knowing that we can use it in and emergency. I didn’t 
really need to know the information about the picture on my wall I asked about 
yesterday, but I felt I needed to see how it worked for starters. If everyone 
who purchases the app feels they need to do this at least once, then there will 
be more use of the facilities at first then there may be at a later date. 
Perhaps some of this could be avoided were someone to do a podcast on this and 
actually walk through how it works with by using it to communicate with the 
sighted person.

fact that Mint warns you of any out of the ordinary transactions, like the time 
that I spent $1600 on travel when I usually spend an average of $30 dollars.

  Hi,

  Good luck Rose. I spent two days unexpedely in the hospital two weeks  ago 
and I thought up until that point that keeping everyone’s medication in exactly 
the same spot all the time was the perfect solution. It was not. One person 
came in to help someone in the house out and moved everything in a well-meaning 
attempt to help out and it took two weeks to get all our prescription and over 
the counter medications straight. We use Walgreens who does not really have a 
decent solution for talking prescriptions and I have not found a good iPhone 
app obviously due to the shape of the bottles. I could use CVS but they do not 
deliver and they charge more than Walgreens as does our insurance company 
delivery service. So Walgreens and back to keeping things in the exact same 
place for now it is.

Re: exporting email acount on iPhone 5 how to do it?

2015-01-16 Thread Christopher Chaltain
What email service are they using and what application will they be 
using on the PC? I assume they're using the Mail app on the iPhone. I'm 
not sure what methods there are to export email account information from 
an account on an iPhone and import that into an account on the PC, but 
most email providers, like Gmail, don't require anything but the email 
address and the users password. Most email clients will figure out the 
rest from just that.

Re: A New App

2015-01-16 Thread Charles Rivard
When reading the message on my iPhone, that portion was not heard.  I only 
saw the link.  That's why I responded as I did.


I did not ask for an elaborate review or for info pasted from a site.  All I 
asked for was a simple synopsis or a bit of info about the app.  As for how 
easily you can go elsewhere to determine your interest, why not eliminate 
that step by doing as I suggest.  That is more of a time saver for the 
reader.  If interested, find out more at, so and so dot such and such.  If 
not, there's no need to go there.  Also, if a malicious message were to be 
posted that wants you to click on a link, this is how a lot of viruses, 
spyWare and MalWare are spread, so not having to click on a link to get info 
also eliminates this potential threat.

Hi,

When I listened to the link I thought I heard it say be my eyes as parts of 
the link so I assumed it was the app we've been hearing about for a couple 
of days already.

Is this not so?

I did not ask for an elaborate review or for info pasted from a site.  All I
asked for was a simple synopsis or a bit of info about the app.  As for how
easily you can go elsewhere to determine your interest, why not eliminate

not, there's no need to go there.  Also, if a malicious message were to be

Need help please with editing and navigating in a Microsoft Word document I am subscribed to office 265.

2015-01-16 Thread Wren Langley
Hi all, and thank you so very very much for the much appreciated help with this 
as I am very confused. Here are my questions: number one how do I navigate 
through a document and how do I go from page to page. I tried to three finger 
scroll up to get to the page numbers but it doesn't seem to open right for me 
at the right page. Also it says top of document how do I get to the bottom of 
the document vI tried touching the screen with forefingers near the bottom but 
I keep being in the letters when I am editing.question two: when I read through 
the document character by character it keeps saying things like food or field 
such and such and that type of thing. I don't know how they got in there 
because I didn't put them in there. Before this newest update though, I would 
touch the screen and a lot of times it would say empty line and repeat many 
times empty line. Maybe that's how the footers got in there and the fields. It 
also tells me that there are objects in the document. When I am in the edit 
mode and I touch different parts of the screen it seems to read different parts 
of my document. God bless, Wren Langley PS you can write me off list if you 
wish. By the way this is on the iPhone. When I touch these different parts of 
the screen such as where the footers are or the fields are it says double tap 
to edit.

Re: A New App

2015-01-16 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Obviously, I didn't know you didn't read the message you were replying 
to. Now that you see what AngelVoice said about the link, do you still 
think more information is necessary? Asking for more than the 
description AngelVoice already provided does seem like you're asking for 
more elaboration than what I think is necessary on this list. It seems 
like AngelVoice provided exactly the information you're asking for.


Although I agree naked links shouldn't be posted, and I wouldn't click 
on just a naked link myself, the URL in this case is pretty descriptive 
in and of itself. If I'm not interested in a link, I delete the message 
and move on. If the poster wants to reach the maximum audience they'll 
do more than just post a link, as AngelVoice did in this case. Posters 
are also busy, so I don't try to put too many requirements on them and 
generally just leave that to the moderators. Posters and readers a like 
have responsibilities as good list members.

Questions from a new braille display user.

2015-01-16 Thread Amy Harris
Hi everyone.

I just received, earlier this week, a Harpo BraillePen 12 Touch, and, 
although I've been using iDevices since IOS 4, and braille for most of my 
life, this is my first time with a braille display, and I have a few 
questions.

I got my device paired with no problem.  However, when I have my iPhone 6+ 
running the latest IOS 8 version turned on, and I then turn on my BP12T, 
they find each other but they don't pair.  I have to go into the settings 
and double-tap the device under Braille in order to get it to pair.  I 
don't have to enter the pairing code, but I do have to manually pair it 
every time.  Any ideas on what I've messed up?

Also, when I'm finished using the BP12T, if I use the Chord K to turn it 
off, my device automatically enters VO Help, and I have to 4-finger 
double-tap to get out of it every time.  My device turns off, but, as soon 
as it does, I'm dumped into VO Help.  If I turn my device back on while in 
VO Help, it doesn't pair, and I have to exit VO help and go into Settings 
as mentioned above to tell the keyboard to connect.

Finally, I was trying to practice by reading some of my notes in the 
default Notes app.  Everything works, but the HTML code is turned on, and I 
have to hunt through all of that to find the text of my note.  When I go 
into Messages, and read text messages, that's not the case.  In the 
Messages app I get text without all of the HTML code regarding font/font 
size, etc. that I receive when trying to read a note in the Notes app.  Any 
thoughts on that one?

Thanks in advance for helping a newbie in working with a braille 
keyboard/display in IOS get started!

Amy

Re: A New App

2015-01-16 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Yes, this is the same Be My Eyes app which is already being discussed on 
list. As you said, it's pretty clear from the URL itself that it's the 
same app, and AngelVoice's description also suggests this, although 
AngelVoice may not have been aware of those other threads. Obviously, 
following the link would have also made this clear.

What email service are they using and what application will they be using 
on the PC? I assume they're using the Mail app on the iPhone. I'm not sure 
what methods there are to export email account information from an account 
on an iPhone and import that into an account on the PC, but most email 
providers, like Gmail, don't require anything but the email address and 
the users password. Most email clients will figure out the rest from just 
that.

Not sure if this applies to your braille display, but I know that I have to

Re: Questions from a new braille display user.

2015-01-16 Thread Georgina Joyce
Hello,

Yes, with the Braille Pen this is true. If you turn on the pen then unlock the 
phone it will pair automatically. As for going to help mode. This happens here 
too. I haven’t found a way of turning off. I can’t remember if pressing the 
power button to lock the phone enables you to turn off the Pen without going 
into help. I haven’t used the Pen for a while. But will check a routine if 
required. But it sounds as if you’ve got it as good as it will get.

 Hi everyone.
 
 I just received, earlier this week, a Harpo BraillePen 12 Touch, and, 
 although I've been using iDevices since IOS 4, and braille for most of my 
 life, this is my first time with a braille display, and I have a few 
 questions.
 
 I got my device paired with no problem.  However, when I have my iPhone 6+ 
 running the latest IOS 8 version turned on, and I then turn on my BP12T, 
 they find each other but they don't pair.  I have to go into the settings 
 and double-tap the device under Braille in order to get it to pair.  I don't 
 have to enter the pairing code, but I do have to manually pair it every 
 time.  Any ideas on what I've messed up?
 
 Also, when I'm finished using the BP12T, if I use the Chord K to turn it 
 off, my device automatically enters VO Help, and I have to 4-finger 
 double-tap to get out of it every time.  My device turns off, but, as soon 
 as it does, I'm dumped into VO Help.  If I turn my device back on while in 
 VO Help, it doesn't pair, and I have to exit VO help and go into Settings as 
 mentioned above to tell the keyboard to connect.
 
 Finally, I was trying to practice by reading some of my notes in the 
 default Notes app.  Everything works, but the HTML code is turned on, and I 
 have to hunt through all of that to find the text of my note.  When I go 
 into Messages, and read text messages, that's not the case.  In the Messages 
 app I get text without all of the HTML code regarding font/font size, etc. 
 that I receive when trying to read a note in the Notes app.  Any thoughts on 
 that one?

Re: Be my eyes now available in the US App Store.

Playing around is wonderful. A couple summers ago, I was camping with my 
girlfriend. I wanted to take a picture of the campfire, and post it to 
Facebook. If I had simply taken the picture without tap tab see, I would not 
have known for sure what I had focused upon. Using tap tab see, I was able to 
get an exact description of the thing I had photographed.

RE: Questions from a new braille display user.

2015-01-16 Thread Amy Harris
Thank you so much Charles and Gina!  That did the trick.  I need to make sure 
my screen is locked, turn on my BP12T, unlock my screen, and it pairs pretty 
much immediately.  I reverse the steps to unpair/power off my BP12T, and, when 
I do that, it doesn’t dump me into help when I unlock my screen again.  This 
helps a ton!

 

If anyone knows the answer re the Notes app, and if there is any way I can stop 
the BraillePen from showing me HTML code in my notes, which don’t have links by 
the way.  They’re just notes like, “Pick up milk on the way home.”  (Well, not 
exactly, but there’s no bold print, or anything else fancy.  

 

I have two more questions.  First, does anyone know of a braille command to 
lock/unlock your iDevice with a braille keyboard?  I fully understand that this 
may not be at all possible, but I was thinking of a situation where I might 
have my BraillePen out, but my iPhone in my purse.  It would be great if I 
could use a keyboard command to lock/unlock the iDevice in such a situation.

 

Also, is there some way to leave the VoiceOver hints turned on as far as 
speaking them is concerned, but to set it so that the hints are not displayed 
on the braille display, even if VO speaks the hints aloud?

 

Thanks again everyone!  I’m really grateful for all the help, and I’m having a 
blast learning something new. *GRIN*

 

Amy

Nothing more would be needed as far as what angel voice sent, but I stand by 
my request to the list in general, which is what I was meaning to begin 
with, that we should always provide information that will help others 
determine their interest before they click on a link that they know nothing 
about.  This is a good way to not only eliminate an unnecessary step in 
getting the info and is a time saver, but it also eliminates the spreading 
of unwanted problems.

Obviously, I didn't know you didn't read the message you were replying
to. Now that you see what AngelVoice said about the link, do you still
think more information is necessary? Asking for more than the
description AngelVoice already provided does seem like you're asking for
more elaboration than what I think is necessary on this list. It seems
like AngelVoice provided exactly the information you're asking for.

Although I agree naked links shouldn't be posted, and I wouldn't click
on just a naked link myself, the URL in this case is pretty descriptive
in and of itself. If I'm not interested in a link, I delete the message
and move on. If the poster wants to reach the maximum audience they'll
do more than just post a link, as AngelVoice did in this case. Posters
are also busy, so I don't try to put too many requirements on them and
generally just leave that to the moderators. Posters and readers a like
have responsibilities as good list members.

I did not ask for an elaborate review or for info pasted from a site.
All I asked for was a simple synopsis or a bit of info about the app.
As for how easily you can go elsewhere to determine your interest, why
not eliminate that step by doing as I suggest.  That is more of a time
saver for the reader.  If interested, find out more at, so and so dot
such and such.  If not, there's no need to go there.  Also, if a
malicious message were to be posted that wants you to click on a link,
this is how a lot of viruses, spyWare and MalWare are spread, so not
having to click on a link to get info also eliminates this potential
threat.

AngelVoice's message already includes the following text This app was
created to help the blind and visually impaired to see with the help
of sighted volunteers. Sounds interesting. I think this is plenty of
information anyone needs before deciding to read the article. I don't
think people need to write elaborate reviews or reproduce the
information from a web site just to post information about an app on
this list. I'm not sure this is true for everyone, but it's a lot less
time and effort for me to click on a link in an email message than it
would be to write the message below. If you're not interested enough to
click on the link then just delete the message and move on.

RE: Questions from a new braille display user.

2015-01-16 Thread Rose Combs
Well I have a new Focus 14 Blue, my Christmas present, decided with job ending 
in mid-March if I wanted it I’d better do it while I can.  

 

So far, I managed to get it connected to the phone, other things are coming 
slowly, finding trying to write either nothing shows up or it is full of errors 
and cannot find backspace command but then it just arrived yesterday and I have 
not had much time to play.  The braille cells are great and it plugs in, the 
Refresh-A-Brail plug drove me crazy and the lack of thumb keys drove me crazy, 
I’d sell it but no way to ship right now.  

 

No, not the Focus, that one is MINE!  

I will get it figured out.

Subject: RE: Questions from a new braille display user.

 

Thank you so much Charles and Gina!  That did the trick.  I need to make sure 
my screen is locked, turn on my BP12T, unlock my screen, and it pairs pretty 
much immediately.  I reverse the steps to unpair/power off my BP12T, and, when 
I do that, it doesn’t dump me into help when I unlock my screen again.  This 
helps a ton!

 

If anyone knows the answer re the Notes app, and if there is any way I can stop 
the BraillePen from showing me HTML code in my notes, which don’t have links by 
the way.  They’re just notes like, “Pick up milk on the way home.”  (Well, not 
exactly, but there’s no bold print, or anything else fancy.  

 

I have two more questions.  First, does anyone know of a braille command to 
lock/unlock your iDevice with a braille keyboard?  I fully understand that this 
may not be at all possible, but I was thinking of a situation where I might 
have my BraillePen out, but my iPhone in my purse.  It would be great if I 
could use a keyboard command to lock/unlock the iDevice in such a situation.

 

Also, is there some way to leave the VoiceOver hints turned on as far as 
speaking them is concerned, but to set it so that the hints are not displayed 
on the braille display, even if VO speaks the hints aloud?

 

Thanks again everyone!  I’m really grateful for all the help, and I’m having a 
blast learning something new. *GRIN*

Here's a page with specific commands, which also has a link to the more general 
Braille commands. Also, Charles, in answer to your question: no, unfortunately.

 I use mine all the time for reading books and writing.  Just be aware that 
 the whiz wheels don't have the functionality you might expect. The left one 
 moves by increment in the rotor, and the right one does the equivalent of a 
 Voiceover right swipe with one finger. The reverse commands naturally do the 
 reverse.

 Hi Don,
 
 The focus 40 Classic works great with the ipHone. All the iOS commands are 
 supported, and the Bluetooth conenction is very stable. Go for it.

Re: Focus 40 original and IOS 8

2015-01-16 Thread Charles Rivard
Thanks.  This is very confusing to me to read, though.  Here is a small example 
that perhaps you can explain.  It shows:

When using the Freedom Scientific Focus 40 Blue lpar;Classic modelrpar; 
braille display with VoiceOver in iOS, you can use these device-specific 

keys to navigate.

NewLine;
NewLine;Tab;NewLine;Tab;Tab; NewLine;Tab;Tab;Tab; Braille device keys 
NewLine;Tab;Tab;Tab; VoiceOver action 

NewLine;Tab;Tab; 
NewLine;Tab;Tab; NewLine;Tab;Tab;Tab; Router Row 1 
NewLine;Tab;Tab;Tab; Double-tap the selected item 

NewLine;Tab;Tab; 


What are all of these tab tab tab whatever in the text?

That is a web page with a table on it, I believe. If you pasted the text into a 
text editor, it may have fouled things up. Try it using yh device. I may have 
directed you to a mobile page, as my iPod is my only Internet device.
