Re: configuring wifi vs. cellular

2015-01-23 Thread Flor Lynch
My average connection speed went up from 15 mbps to somewhere between 50 and 
100. It was my ISP, and they did give me a different router/modem. I know 
that my WiFi signal is stronger than it was, whatever the reason.

I don't think you're saying this, but the wifi connection has nothing to
do with fibre optic or DSL. DSL is the connection from your house to the
internet. Wifi is the wireless connection within your house. You could
switch from DSL to cable or fibre optic by swapping out modems but still
be using the same router. Of course, you can also get modem/router
units, so when you switch from DSL to cable, you're changing routers and
therefore could impact your wifi connection. This still has to do with
the router though and not the cable or DSL connection itself.

On my previous connection, a DSL broadband, the WiFi signal sometimes
dropped out on my iPhone. On my present one, a FibreOptic connection, it
never does. Meanwhile, check that you are in fact connected to WiFi
before you begin your activity that (you believe) requires it. Examples
of such would be online video streams, or perhaps file downloads. There
is a difference between your phone’s WiFI being trned on and its being
connected to your WiFi. (It will say ‘not connected’ ir ‘connected’.)

Hi Alex,
I admit to really not understanding these things, but that’s what I
thought should happen. It’s possible that there’s just too much traffic
for the bandwidth we have. We have two desktop computers connected to
our router and my dad’s caregiver has a laptop as well as a phone . She
spends a lot of time on skype or streaming movies especially in the
evening, and if we are online at the same time we have to do router
resets. It’s worse than having teenagers ... we never had this problem
when our two were home, smile. At any rate, she may be drawing from a
different network. I was mostly wondering if I had missed something in
the settings, but from what you’ve said our best way to solve this may
be tto move, which is in the works, not  for this reason. Anyway, thanks
for clarifying that for me.
Susan

The iPhone will always use wifi it it is connected to it. Cellular only
comes in if the wifi drops and a different network can't be found. If
wifi is misbehaving on two devices, I'd look at your router; is the
signal strong enough? Might the channel your router is on be full of
interference from other networks or devices? Is the router okay, but the
internet connection spotty (something your ISP can help troubleshoot)?

Hi listers,
This may seem like a strange question, but how does my phone recognize
whether to use a wifi or cellular signal? I think I have wifi
connected to my home network as it seems to work with Safari, but in
apps like Ootones or the BARD  app I get continual timeout messages
when I attempt to download books or, in the case of Ootunes can’t play
high bitrate streams at all. Wifi has been fiddly at times with my
Ipod and I thought this would improve with the iphone, but apparently
not. Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this? Tia.

which one? I’ve heard good things about both the M55 and the Voyager legend

are they in sound quality, performance and VO accessibility? I don’t want to 
buy a headset that’s accessible but has a lousy sound quality when it comes

Rick, if the caller is not in your contacts, the Ledgend will announce the

the answer or ignore feature.  Sometimes, I'm busy and can't take the call or 
don't want to because I know the caller is one of those people you can never

Re: Uber app

2015-01-23 Thread Thom Spittle
Hi Marie,
I have nothing but good experiences with Uber. The drivers are just regular 
people trying to make a little extra money.
The vehicles are much better than a regular taxi cab.
Go go ahead and give it a try. You can use my promo code thoms9 to get a free 
ride up to a $20 value.

Let me know if I can help,

 Ryan,
 I have done the same. To avoid the reverse, be sure you tap set pickup 
 location on the main screen. From there swipe to add destination. This is 
 where you place your destination. You can either get your fare estimate or 
 request the ride on that screen.
 Hope this helps.

Re: Plantronics M55 vs Voyager Legend?

2015-01-23 Thread Alan J Paganelli
The Legend is an ear peace.  It can be worn on either ear.  There is a peace 
which goes inside the ear but the Legend comes with 3 incerts.  Small, medium 
or large.  In my case, the smallest fits best in my ear.

The Legend is very comfortable to ware.  Let me give you an example, I put my 
ear peace on in the morning and take it off to recharge it when I go to bed.  
Most of the time I don’t know I’m wearing it.  It does very slightly deminish 
hearing in the ear it’s being worn in however, this isn’t much of a problem in 
folks with normal hearing.

that’s accessible but has a lousy sound quality when it comes to phone calls. I

Re: Deleting multiple email messages from the IPhone 6 plus

2015-01-23 Thread RobH.
Ok, yes, but still a bit individual and slowish, though faster than flicking 
up to the trash button for each item.  Having threads turned on will help as 
you can select the whole thread at once.  The key button is Edit,  keep 
going down tapping each to select it,  then periodically,  go to bottom and 
tap the Trash button to get rid of them.  Don't try doing too much at once, 
one hiccup and you lose all the selection and have to start over.

In edit, I keep noticing a select all, but then can't  find a useful thing 
to do with them once all marked.

Maybe someone can help with that?  Just marking as unread, or worse, 
Flagging, isn't a lot of use.

 Below  is something a viphone lister said but I can't seem to see how to do
 this For one thing there are different screens in ITunes on the computer I
 think, and Jaws often does not read what is there. There are also things
 that say Deidre's I phone read only then another place where it simply says
 deidre's I phone and that seems to be the one where you can see things, as
 well as in a tree view of all my music.
   Is this a setting issue? Nothing on the phone in the Music or I

 specifically is the key in doing this kind of copying from the computer with
 the phone plugged in.

 Next, press control F to go to the search box.
 Hit F6 and this will bring you to a tree view.

 If I could, let me suggest that the easiest way for me to manage the music I
 want on my iPhone is to 
 make a playlist of the songs that I want.
 Then, when it comes to sync time. I just select the playlist I want.
 You can add songs to your playlist with the application key and go to add to

 If you want to delete a song from your playlist, just hit delete when you

In the main list of mail accounts in the mail app, there is a heading that says

Next, double tap on edit, then at the bottom of the screen, there is a delete

RE: Uber app

2015-01-23 Thread Cristóbal
Probably not more risky than entrusting yourself to the services of a regular 
taxi driver. 

 

All in all my Uber/Lyft experiences have been fine. You get the occasional 
character, but nothing that would have made me feel uncomfortable. Then again, 
I’m 6-2 and 240 pounds. So I can appreciate the concern of a woman traveling by 
herself. 

 

Remember, you can rate your driver and if you give them a low rating, you 
won’t’ be pared with that driver again or at least that is how it’s supposed to 
work.

I have done the same. To avoid the reverse, be sure you tap set pickup 
location on the main screen. From there swipe to add destination. This 
is where you place your destination. You can either get your fare estimate 
or request the ride on that screen.

Hope this helps.

Re: BBC IPlayer App Available in the US?

2015-01-23 Thread Teresa Cochran
Ah, thanks, guys. For whatever reason, the BBC is not supporting iOS for its 
radio content as an app. It works on the website, though. It's just a bit 
clunky, but not a deal-breaker.

 The short answer is no, and no.
 The long answer is that when you're in the UK, you could use the address 
 you're staying at as your address when signing up for an account in the UK 
 App Store. You will also need an email address not currently associated with 
 any Apple ID. You'll then be able to download iPlayer and use it in the UK.
 When you get home, iPlayer won't work, unless you circumvent the geo-blocking 
 technology that prevents users from outside the UK accessing the service.
 All of this is explained step-by-step in my book, Imagine There's No

 I notice that there is a player from the BBC available on some other
 platforms, but haven't found one for iOS. The mobile site seems useable with
 iOS. Is that pretty much the only option?

Ryan,
I have done the same. To avoid the reverse, be sure you tap set pickup 
location on the main screen. From there swipe to add destination. This 
is where you place your destination. You can either get your fare estimate 
or request the ride on that screen.

Hope this helps.

Re: How do you delete the emails in the trash folder?

2015-01-23 Thread Jennie Facer
Hi,

In the main list of mail accounts in the mail app, there is a heading that says 
accounts. Here you can double tap on your email, then double tap on trash. 
Next, double tap on edit, then at the bottom of the screen, there is a delete 
all button.

I hope this makes sense. If not, let me know, and we can walk through it 
somehow.

 I notice that there is a player from the BBC available on some other
 platforms, but haven't found one for iOS. The mobile site seems useable with
 iOS. Is that pretty much the only option?

Re: Uber app

2015-01-23 Thread Kelly Pierce
Here in Chicago, there have been two incidents of sexual violence, one
against a woman and another against a 5’9 110 pound man.  The woman
was intoxicated and passed out in the car.  She awoke in the driver’s
apartment with her clothes pulled down to her ankles exposing her
pelvis.  The driver obviously sexually assaulted her.  The male victim
was only 18 years old and seemed not to know how to respond to a
middle age man much bigger than him who was groping his genitals and
restraining his movement.  Eventually he escaped from the clutches of
this sexual predator.  The driver of the man has a wife and children.
Both attackers were arrested and charged with felonies that are not
probationable and will require some prison time if the defendants are
convicted.  Both of the victims rode in the front seat when the driver
asked them to do so.

Also, both of the rides happened late night. Uber has been the only
company in Chicago where riders have been victimized by drivers.  My
suggestion is to insist on riding in the back seat and be sure your
driver stays on his route.  In some cities, Uber offers people the
choice of women-only drivers.  In using the three different services,
I have only had one woman driver so the pool of women drivers may be
small.

Yes, I know but they are all empty. The songs did not transfer. I'm
wondering if I needed to hit something on the phone rather than assume that
I had to control everything from ITunes on the computer while the phone and
computer were connected. . I see information in the Dresner book in
reference to Music and I Tunes for the 7 in a lot of different places but
haven't yet read a step by step description of how to make a playlist from
my own music library on my computer.
I downloaded Spotify today and started a free 7 day trial of the
Premium which strips out the ads and lets you play what you want without all
the extras they throw in and I love it. I don't know how to use the app well
enough to do what I want to with it but for now, it's fun. I don't remember
what it costs but I believe I read that it was a monthly or yearly fee of
something like $9.99 or $99.

Re: ABC Musical Notation App?

2015-01-23 Thread Devin Prater
Is abc notation just for Irish and folk music? I want to find a good notation 
system for all kinds of music but that also has ways to convert the notation 
into midi or any other kind of file, and allows for listening to the file 
before conversion to midi. And I make music more by ear, so I'd rather not have 
to learn all these music theory terms like in lillypond.

 The long answer is that when you're in the UK, you could use the address 
 you're staying at as your address when signing up for an account in the UK 
 App Store. You will also need an email address not currently associated with 
 any Apple ID. You'll then be able to download iPlayer and use it in the UK.
 When you get home, iPlayer won't work, unless you circumvent the

Hi,

In the main list of mail accounts in the mail app, there is a heading that 
says accounts. Here you can double tap on your email, then double tap on trash. 
Next, double tap on edit, then at the bottom of the screen, there is a delete 
all button.

I hope this makes sense. If not, let me know, and we can walk through it

Re: Deleting multiple email messages from the IPhone 6 plus

2015-01-23 Thread Charles Rivard
If you are in the trash folder, and you want to delete all of the messages 
at once, first use the edit button.  Then, at the bottom of the folder, 
use the delete all button.  It will ask if you want to delete them all, 
and you choose to do so.  There is no need to select any messages first.

In using the edit button to delete email you can only tag about 125 emails 
to deleted the time after that it gets very sluggish and may go back to the 
home screen page so I only do 100 it time finding using the edit field and 
then cab on each email or email group you want to delete so that this may 
help you as a flicking is really slow yes it is

In edit, I keep noticing a select all, but then can't  find a useful thing

Maybe someone can help with that?  Just marking as unread, or worse,

Re: Deleting multiple email messages from the IPhone 6 plus

2015-01-23 Thread Richard Turner
The only way to delete multiple messages is to double tap the edit button in 
the upper right corner, then double tap the messages you want to delete, one at 
a time, then double tap the trash button in the lower right. On the 5S, after 
about 100 messages are selected, the phone gets very sluggish, so I trash 
those, then start again.
Note that once they are in the trash folder, you can go in there, double tap 
the edit button and then double tap the delete all button in the lower right, 
but that is just to clear out what you have removed from the inbox. I wish they 
would add a delete all option in the inbox. 
HTH,
Richard

Plantronics M55 vs Voyager Legend?

2015-01-23 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
I’m thinking about getting myself a bluetooth headset and have more or less 
decided that it’s going to be a Plantronics one. However my question is which 
one? I’ve heard good things about both the M55 and the Voyager legend and so i 
want to hear from those who have the two or have tried both. How are they in 
sound quality, performance and VO accessibility? I don’t want to buy a headset 
that’s accessible but has a lousy sound quality when it comes to phone calls. I 
don’t care much for Siri since it’s not available in Swedish and probably won’t 
ever be, but which is the best for use with apps like Blindsquare?
Thanks in advance

I have the legend and love it.  It works very well with 8.2.  It has several 
hands free/voice commands so you really don't have to touch the legend  if your

Well, have you tried the app to see if it works outside of the UK? It
could be that the fires app store isn't clever enough to hide aps that
have regiional restrictions.
If it does work, are you absolutely certain that it's an official BBC
app and not a third party one that uses some questionable methods to
work around the restrictions?

2015-01-23 Thread christopher hallsworth
I am in the U.K. so unless you reside there I cannot gift it you at least. 
Anyway, I only gift apps to people I know and trust, and not anybody everybody. 
Just my £0.02 worth.

 Winston Chen will be releasing an update to Voice Dream Writer in the next 
 week. It will fix the issue with not being able to access the Voice Dream 
 Voices. It will also fix another little issue. Right now, you cannot have a 
 percent sign in the text and export the document to Word format.
 That will be taken care of in the update.
 It is great working with such a responsive developer.

Re: Accessibility of Webex App

2015-01-23 Thread Ezzie Bueno
 Hello,

I tried using it on my phone, and it looks accessible. The problem is that when 
you are in an edit field to type your meeting number name and email address, 
it's hard to find the join button. You can scroll through the different fields, 
but the join button is impossible to find. What I have done in the meantime is 
connect via phone. I called the phone number listed on the email in which I am 
invited to WebEx meetings and I enter the meeting number in there.
I hope this helps.

please rate your favourite apps

2015-01-23 Thread Ioana Gandrabur
Hi all,

After having received a prompt reply from VoiceDream writer support he reminded 
me about please rating the app 5* if I like it. 
It got me thinking and I checked other apps I love such as MBraille and it had 
not received enough ratings to post them on the app store. THis is not even for 
just the current version but for all versions.
I felt sad that an app that has won awards from the V I community has so little 
visibility in the app store.
Not sure how the rating system of Apple store works but I'd just want to 
encourage peopel to make sure to rate the apps they love and keep them current 
from time to time since when they update the ratings apparently get lost.
Anyway, jsut my 2 cents.
Best,

Ioana

Re: Uber app

2015-01-23 Thread Deb Lewis
I use uber regularly with my guide dog and am very pleased with the results. 
I have had one or two drivers not want to take my dog but I’m able to find this 
out in advance because I call the driver to let them know I am a blind person 
with a guide dog. I think that’s a reasonable courtesy and I think it makes 
sure the driver spots me instead of expecting me to find them. In the two cases 
where the driver did not want the dog they were very nice to me and assisted me 
to get another car. Most of the drivers are totally fine about the dog. I love 
Uber and am overall very satisfied with the treatment i’ve had.

2015-01-23 Thread Eric Caron
Hi folks,

I have Pear Note on my phone and iPad.  It seems Voice Over friendly 
but I’m finding it challenging to figure out how to take notes while recording 
and later have it play back the audio when I’m in the text.

Are there any other folks using Pear note and meeting success?

tips appreciated. 

this would be a useful app in my work.


If someone is really feeling generous I’d love a lesson over Skype or i can 
call in the Us.   

Eric Caron

RE: quiet Skype

2015-01-23 Thread Neal Ewers
Hi, I also know a person who has this problem, but on the iPhone 6. Her volume 
is very very low. I don’t think this will help, but you might try not allowing 
Skype to see the camera and see if that changes the audio. OK, I just did that 
and it did not, just as I thought. I don’t have the same problem with the 
iPhone 5 and the newest version of skype. Mine is at normal volume. So, 
brighter minds than mine will have to chime in here. I wonder if others have 
had this problem.

RE: Uber app

2015-01-23 Thread Cristóbal
Now that’s a different story. I haven’t had a guide in years, but you’re always 
hearing about terrible experiences with folks and their dogs. Part of it has to 
do with the driver’s lack of knowledge having to do with service animals and 
regulations and sometimes they’re just jerks. Refusing to pick you up upon 
arrival, maybe they see you as they’re driving up and decide to keep on going. 
Give you lip and harass you about your dog during the ride. Maybe they’ll claim 
your dog did X, Y and Z in their car and try to stick you with a cleaning 
charge, etc. That’s basically going to be more hit and miss.

Hi,
The looktel money reader uses the back camera.
The first bill it recognizes might take 5 or 10 seconds, but after that I've 
found it is almost instantaneous.
Just either put the phone face down and hold the bill 4 to 6 inches above the 
phone, or have the bill on the table or flat in one hand and hold the phone 4 
to 6 inches above the bill.
HTH,

I haven't done what I'm about to advise here, but I do understand that since 
I suspect you have all of your devices using the same account the assumption 
is made that you'll want access to all of that account's data.  You may 
consider creating an alternative DropBox account for your iPhone so that it 
will appear to the DropBox management software as if different users are 
involved.  The problem with this approach though is that, if you want your 
iPhone to have access to any of the sub-folders, you'll need to send an 
invitation to your iPhone account e-mail authorizing said access.

Re: Questions about using auto correct

2015-01-23 Thread Alex Hall
Auto correct will take a word you misspell and try to change it to what it 
guesses you meant to say. Predictive typing, on the other hand, looks at what 
you're typing as you type it. It makes a guess about what word you are trying 
to type, letting you tap the word once you see it. I've been able to write 
several words in a row just by typing a letter or two, then double tapping the 
correct word. In short, auto correct kicks in after you finish a word, or when 
you are near the end; predictive typing is always on, trying to guess the word 
you're going for so you don't need to finish typing it.

 sometimes it's not the right one and I'd like to see the other options it 
 suggests. I have not found a fluent way to do this. Any ideas about how 
 others make best use of these featuresis very appreciated. 
 I still think I'll stick with Braille but would like to try this out some 
 more. Best,Ioana  .

Re: taking picture with iPhone 5s and emailing it

2015-01-23 Thread RobH.
Not sure why you'd want to email to yourself when it's already on your 
iDevice.  Depends on where or how you want to upload to the net,   you can 
get it to facebook or the like from the share menu.
That is:  in your photo stream folder where the picture is,  if you tap on 
the new picture, you get options, share ought to be one,  or More is a 
certainty and share would be amongst those.   I haven't taken a picture I 
want to mess with, so not gone through the whole process for completeness.

I use uber regularly with my guide dog and am very pleased with the results. 

I have had one or two drivers not want to take my dog but I’m able to find this 
out in advance because I call the driver to let them know I am a blind person 
with a guide dog. I think that’s a reasonable courtesy and I think it makes 
sure the driver spots me instead of expecting me to find them. In the two cases 
where the driver did not want the dog they were very nice to me and assisted me 
to get another car. Most of the drivers are totally fine about the dog. I love 
Uber and am overall very satisfied with the treatment i’ve had.

Probably not more risky than entrusting yourself to the services of a regular

All in all my Uber/Lyft experiences have been fine. You get the occasional 
character, but nothing that would have made me feel uncomfortable. Then again, 
I’m 6-2 and 240 pounds. So I can appreciate the concern of a woman traveling by 
herself. 

 

Remember, you can rate your driver and if you give them a low rating, you 
won’t’ be pared with that driver again or at least that is how it’s supposed to 
work.

That is interesting.  I would have thought because the car was privately owned 
the driver didn’t come under the same laws as taxi cabs.  I guess I thought 
this because when I worked at the Pentagon many times co-workers would have a 
party and some of them asked me not to bring my guide to the party.  Needless 
to say I did not attend the party at their home.

Probably not more risky than entrusting yourself to the services of a regular 
taxi driver. 

 

All in all my Uber/Lyft experiences have been fine. You get the occasional 
character, but nothing that would have made me feel uncomfortable. Then again, 
I’m 6-2 and 240 pounds. So I can appreciate the concern of a woman traveling by 
herself. 

 

Remember, you can rate your driver and if you give them a low rating, you 
won’t’ be pared with that driver again or at least that is how it’s supposed to 
work.

Taxi service is terribly expensive here in Reno so I have been thinking of 
giving Uber a try. there have been some scattered reports of problems because 
the drivers are not screened. Has anyone on the list had any issues like 
assaults or whatever? As a senior totally blind woman saving a couple of bucks 
is not worth taking unsafe rides. Is there any thing to these rumors or am I 
just being overly cautious?

RE: Uber app

2015-01-23 Thread Cristóbal
Ride share drivers are independent contractors, but basically, you can consider 
them driving you as the service they’re providing and their car as that place 
of service that they’re providing it in so they have to follow ADA guidelines. 
Some drivers may not be up to speed on what that entails or again, they just 
may not care. 

 

As far as the other thing, there’s a time and place for everything. Just 
because I would go somewhere, didn’t mean I wanted to take my dog. It might get 
stressed out. You may not be able to pay the proper attention to it. Perhaps 
the hoast of the party or a member of the household is allergic or scared of 
dogs or they simply don’t like dogs. I wouldnt’ consider that to be an 
unreasonable request out of hand.

That is interesting.  I would have thought because the car was privately owned 
the driver didn’t come under the same laws as taxi cabs.  I guess I thought 
this because when I worked at the Pentagon many times co-workers would have a 
party and some of them asked me not to bring my guide to the party.  Needless 
to say I did not attend the party at their home.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of music from Itunes that I no longer want?

2015-01-23 Thread Eleanor Roberts
Hi all 

Was just wondering if anyone knew how I could get rid of some music from my 
Itunes which I no longer want? When I purchased it at the time it was great, 
but now  I really don't want it any more and would prefer to have the storage 
space on my Iphone/Ipad etc instead. So if anyone has any ideas/knows how and 
could send me some instructions would be much appreciated. 

Many thanks.

Re: any Accessible Flighs Tracking Apps?

Eileen, 

I hope you enjoy the FlightView app. One of the things I like most about it is 
that when it sends you a notification, it uses an audio tone that is very 
similar to the sound used on airplanes to get your attention such as to fasten 
your seatbelt. I think that's pretty cool.

RE: Plantronics M55 vs Voyager Legend?

2015-01-23 Thread Merv Keck
Hi,

I changed from the Legend to the Edge because it was purported to have
longer battery life. Although this is true if you use the supplied battery
case every five or six hours to boost the Edge battery, the legend is more
comfortable and just as good quality sound in my humble opinion. I wish I
still had my Legend. The edge may be a newer model but I would much rather
go back to the Legend if I had the option.

Hope that helps.

 one? I’ve heard good things about both the M55 and the Voyager legend and so 
 i want to hear from those who have the two or have tried both. How are they 
 in sound quality, performance and VO accessibility? I don’t want to buy a 
 headset that’s accessible but has a lousy sound quality when it comes to

ABC Musical Notation App?

2015-01-23 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, all,

I use a site that has a lot of tunes in ABC computer notation for music. I 
don't read it on the fly very well, so was wondering if there's an accessible 
app for converting those into music?

Thanks,
Teresa

Forwarding Messages using the iPhone:

2015-01-23 Thread Donald Moore
On the PC, you can use a free program called email stripper and it removes them 
from your message.  In outlook if you're forwarding a message there's a setting 
to have it appear as regular text, indented text or with the signs.

Re: Plantronics M55 vs Voyager Legend?

2015-01-23 Thread Alan J Paganelli
I think the Legend is a great ear peace.  I especially like the hands free 
part.  When a call comes in the ear peace announces, Joe Blow calling. 
Answer or ignore.  Just say your choice.

I have the legend and love it.  It works very well with 8.2.  It has several 
hands free/voice commands so you really don't have to touch the legend  if 
your hands are full or you just don't want to the legend.  Love this

Hi,
I’m thinking about getting myself a bluetooth headset and have more or less 
decided that it’s going to be a Plantronics one. However my question is 
which one? I’ve heard good things about both the M55 and the Voyager legend 
and so i want to hear from those who have the two or have tried both. How 
are they in sound quality, performance and VO accessibility? I don’t want to 
buy a headset that’s accessible but has a lousy sound quality when it comes 
to phone calls. I don’t care much for Siri since it’s not available in 
Swedish and probably won’t ever be, but which is the best for use with apps 
like Blindsquare?

Thanks in advance

  According to the help, if you start a line with the pound (#) symbol, 
you should create a level 1 heading. The more pound (#) symbols you add, the 
lower the heading level. So you would insert two # symbols for heading level 2, 
three # symbols for heading level 3 etc.

Hi all,
I have to say I love, love, love this app! In fact, I'm thinking of 
using this as my one and only Word Processor! Just love the features and layout

such a great app.

  Greetings,
  I was a beta tester for Voice Dream Writer.  First, let me say 
that I plan to do all my writing with this app from now on.
  It is simply the most powerful Word Processing app I've used on 
an iPhone.  It will take some getting used to, but once you do, it is fantastic!
  Note, it does require iOS 8.1.  It costs $9.99 and is available 
only in English in this first release.
  I recommend reading the help file that is included in the app.
  You can easily move or delete whole paragraphs or sentences.
  You can navigate your document by headings, paragraphs or 
sentences, of course also by word or character.
  It creates an outline as you go which is why it is then easy to 
navigate by those portions of text.
  It has a great spell checker that makes it incredibly easy to 
find and correct misspelled words.
  You can show or hide the outline with a gesture or with a toggle 
button on the screen.
  There are dedicated bluetooth keyboard commands.
  One of my favorite features is being able to set heading levels, 
bulleted lists, bold or italicize text and then export that to a word document 
so it maintains those formatting styles.  
  Now, you can only open text files, not word files.  But, if you 
do the bulk of your rough draft in Writer, then export it to Word .docx format 
to DropBox or example, you can then polish up your document on your computer 
and have your headings, bold, etc., maintained..
  You can also export to Pages to then finish up on your Mac.  I
