RE: iOS 9.3 welcomes all-new 3D Touch shortcuts

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Monica,

The update is available for all iOS users and it of course contains more than 
just 3D touch enhancements. However, you will not get 3D Touch with this or any 
other update on any phone that is not a 6S or 6S Plus and of course future 
phones will support 3D Touch.
3D Touch requires a different touch screen and only the new iPhones have the 
hardware required.

Regards,
Sieghard

No, it's available for five users as well; I got it this morning. We still 
don't have access to those though.

So I'm guessing that the 9.3 update is only for iPhone 6 owners?

iCloud help

[Marissa Solaun]

So I deleted a backup on my iPhone on the 15th of January . Went ahead and 
tried to make a backup using iCloud's and got the following two errors:

1. iCloud backup failed, there was a problem
Enabling iCloud
2. When I finally am able to enable it and try to create a backup it says the 
backup cannot be completed.

I've reset network settings, signed in/out of iCloud, deleted previous iCloud 
backups, set the iPhone up as new doing a restore on iTunes. Made a backup 
using iTunes. Called apple care And they just said I had to wait and see if 
iCloud would allow me to backup again as I've done everything they'd normally 
recommend. I downloaded the new update 9.2.1 and then set up
The phone as new and still nothing . Ideas? Thinking of calling apple support 
back to say that iCloud backup isn't working but I want to make sure I'm
Not missing anything else.

RE: best printer?

I like the Brother HL 2360 D which is wireless and can be set up to be an 
airprint printer.
It costs around $130.  It is a laser-jet black only and has a 250 sheet tray.
There is an iPrint and Scan app to help printing from the iDevice.

RE: Fleksy and Possessive Apostrophes was RE: A Fleksy Keyboard Tutorial

[Alan Lemly]

I used a workaround suggested by Krister and loaded the hotkeys extension. I
then went into its setup where you're presented with about 8 pages of
hotkeys already defined. The lion's share of these were of no interest to me
so I deleted all the entries on page 1 and added three of my own: (1)
apostrophe s with what I believe is a checkmark icon (2) my email address
with the mail icon and (3) the underscore character with what appears to be
an old style smiley emoticon with the colon and the right parentheses. Note
that when touching these items on the hotkeys extension, VoiceOver announces
your typed output. It doesn't say apostrophe s as did the original Fleksy
but instead says something that sounds like ezz. It reads my email address
for the second item and says underscore for the third.

 

And wouldn't you know that since I set this up, I don't believe I've entered
one single possessive word where I needed this. At least it works but keep
in mind that when entering items from the hotkey extension that you first
place focus on the item and then double tap. You then must place focus back
on the keyboard proper before typing again.

It followed by a apostrophe S is a contraction of the words "it is" or "it
has" so that is probably why it is in the Fleksy dictionary. But it does not
solve the problem of needing to add apostrophe S  at the end of other nouns.

Subject: Re: A Fleksy Keyboard Tutorial

 

Hi,

This is a very good tutorial indeed. Please allow me to try to add some
things that i've discovered:

1 to uninstall an extension you have to click on the area at the top of the
screen where there are just clicks to be heard from VO, then look at the
text that appears below that describes the extension. If you have chosen the
right extension, swipe to the button that says "remove" and press it. This
removes your extension.

Unfortunately right now this is rather a hit or miss scenario but it works.

 

2 when opening the emoji keyboard for the first time, there's a dialog
explaining that you can change colors of the emoji. This dialog has to be
removed before you can do things with your emoji keyboard. You remove this
dialog by looking for an "ok" button which you double tap.

3, on the "more" screen there's a button called "languages" as was mentioned
in the tutorial. This button or link pops up a dialog that lets you choose
additional languages to download. I for example have Swedish and English as
my languages.

At the top of the dialog is a list of the language(s) you already have
installed and the one you're currently using is highlighted. Below is a list
of additional languages you can download.  Double click on the name of the
language you want and a progress meter will appear showing how many percent
of the language has been downloaded. When the download is complete, the
language disappears from the list of downloadable languages and appears at
the top of the dialog among the languages that are downloaded. Here you can
choose whether you want to use that language by double clicking it, the
language then becomes highlighted and is ready for use. Tip: if you have the
full sized keyboard, the one with the spacebar on it, you can do a quick
swipe left on the spacebar and the language will change on the fly. This
change will stick until next time you swipe quickly on the space bar to
switch languages.

Lastly, remember patience, patience, patience, there's a learning curve
involved with this app, so take your time learning it and don't give up if
it doesn't work for you the first time.

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello Traci, I think you are understanding it correctly.
It kind of says the same thing in the notification part in the watch app on 
your phone.

I am like you, I wish we had more control over this, especially since we are 
not able to change the alert sound or anything like that for notifications on 
the watch.
I am thinking they will expand on notifications on the watch at some time, and 
until then, I will make sure that I give Apple my feedback and request that 
this feature be added.

Chris

voyager edge setup

[Shermeen Khan]

Hi everyone,

Well, I've buckled down as I shopaholicly do, and purchased the
voyager Edge. I'm really eager to get started using it, but am not
sure where to start. I'm quite technologically impaired at the best of
times, so it's possible that set-up is much easier than I'm imagining.
does anyone know of a podcast or set of instructions on getting
started? If it's at all relevant, I'm using an IPhone 6s+.

Thanks!

Shermeen

Apple Watch Feedback

[Traci Duncan]

Hello,

I am not sure if the below link has been mentioned on the list before, but if 
you have any feedback or feature request for Apple Watch leave it here…

https://www.apple.com/feedback/watch.html 



I went over to the Apple communities & found other people wishing they could 
still hear their alert tones on their iPhone while wearing the watch.  Someone 
on the community suggested the leave feedback link.

I think I will also email Apple accessibility.  As a VoiceOver & blind user, I 
find my custom alert tones invaluable.  I don’t want to choose between an Apple 
watch or an alert tone.

I’m happy I have a better comprehension of the notification setup though.  :)  
Thank you for your help in this.

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Traci Duncan]

Ok, I had a chat session with Apple.  He was not sure what was the correct 
behavior for notifications, but he did seem surprise that I wasn’t receiving 
alert tones on my iPhone.

Here is what I have found on Apple’s support knowledge base.

We'll send notifications to the device that you're using, so you can see them 
as soon as possible. 
If your iPhone is unlocked, you get notifications on your iPhone, instead of 
your Apple Watch. 
If your iPhone is locked or asleep, and your Apple Watch is unlocked and on 
your wrist, you get notifications on your Apple Watch. 
** If I understand this correctly, then we cannot receive alert tones 
notifications on our phone while the watch is on our wrist.**
When your Apple Watch locks or you turn on Do Not Disturb, your notifications 
go to your iPhone instead of your watch.
You’ll see  on your watch face when your Apple Watch locks. If your Apple Watch 
has a passcode, it locks automatically when you aren't wearing it, when it 
loses contact with your skin , or while 
it's charging.
**So how I’m understanding this…  When watch is on the wrist, it is always 
unlocked?  Also, the only way to send notifications to the phone while wearing 
the watch, is to put do not disturb on the watch.  If the watch is off the 
wrist & charging, notification sounds should be heard on the phone.  Am I 
getting this?**

If this is the case, I don’t like this behavior.  I have custom text & alert 
tones for a reason.  I am still wondering if there is something I am missing.

I’ll include the link where I found the notification information.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204791 


BTW, during the support chat, I unpaired & repaired the watch.  Setting it up 
from a back up.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts,
Traci

Re: How to check the battery on the watch quickly Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Tara Prakash]

Okay, call them complications but why add more complications like
glances? Apple watch could definitely do with less complications
(standard English).

Re: SIRI issues - can someone help me out here?

[Rajmund]

Hello,
You're not hijacking, you're clarifying. :-) But, to answer you, no, I do not. 
My siri doesn't work, no matter what, where, or how. Not even setting up as new 
works. I sometimes will get "I didn't get that.", but nothing else.

RE: Blindfold wildcard?

[Steve & Shannon Cook]

I would rather pay a small price upfront for access to all of the games they 
have.  I could see them have a 10 day trial version of the games release and 
then after that you must purchase the game in order to play.  Just my $0.05 
worth, inflation, LOL

Anyone playing blindfold wildcard, in earlier versions you used to be able to 
customize your players with up to four players including yourself, Now I'm 
finding that I can't do this if I want to customize my players I have to 
purchase an upgrade. Has anyone else encountered this. I'm using the latest 
upgrade and have to say I'm not impressed being expected to pay for something 
that was previously available.
I'd complain via the app but I'm such an incredibly slow typer on the phone

Re: Best app to read Bookshare books

[Devin Prater]

Eloquence is an old, but favored among the blind, synthesizer that was last 
updated a good decade or so ago, but as long as there is still a need, it'll 
still be there I suppose. Many more natural voices are avalable in the iOS 
version, including most of the voices made free in iOS, like the default 
American English female that iPhones have made so popular. Unfortunately, Alex 
hasn't been made avalable yet, which is most likely a business move for the 
Voce Dream developer, as Alex can be used on Voice Dream Writer just fine. Ah 
well, we have the Speak Screen feature for that, which is almost a substitute 
for reading apps altogether, if all you need is stuff read to you.

RE: Problems with Fleksy number/symbols layout

[Alan Lemly]

Christina,

Unfortunately, those of us who learned the original Fleksy app later renamed
Fleksy VO have to adjust our thinking somewhat to get comfortable with the
Fleksy Keyboard. I think you should keep trying because I'm becoming more
convinced that we can be productive with this keyboard.

I'll address each of your issues in a numbered list.

1. If you're typing with the Fleksy spacebar keyboard, the button at the
bottom leftmost position is the numbers button labeled with a 123 and
touching it once will switch the keyboard from letters to numbers and back
again. When numbers are displayed, this key becomes a letters keyboard key
labeled ABC. While numbers are still displayed, pressing the shift key which
is immediately above the numbers/letters button will open the symbols
keyboard. I think this behavior is the same as with the iOS standard
keyboard.

2. The minimal Fleksy keyboard has a shift button at the bottom leftmost
position and a backspace button at the bottom rightmost position and these
keys were not present in the original Fleksy app. Note that Fleksy/VO
sometimes doesn't announce the backspace key as you move slowly around the
keyboard doing manual input but will simply state the key erased when the
backspace is executed. I also inadvertently hit both the shift and backspace
keys when typing with the minimal Fleksy keyboard and think it's just going
to take additional practice to unlearn how we typed with the original Fleksy
in order to get good with this new one.

3. When using the minimal keyboard, a quick single finger swipe right on the
shift key in the bottom leftmost position should switch between the letters
and numbers keyboards. When in the numbers keyboard, a quick single finger
swipe down should switch between the numbers and symbols keyboards.
Sometimes the keyboard loaded is inconsistent so you might have to keep
swiping right until you get to the one you want. Fleksy/VO has been
consistently identifying the loaded keyboard for me although sometimes it
doesn't immediately switch back to letters from numbers. Another point is if
you do a quick single finger swipe left on the backspace key located at the
bottom rightmost position of the minimal keyboard, your Emoji keyboard
should open. If it does, the bottom leftmost key on it should return you to
the letters keyboard when you double tap it. Also note that the input of
emoji symbols works a bit differently with the Fleksy keyboard than with the
standard iOS keyboard using touch typing. With Fleksy, you can swipe around
on the various emoji keys and lift to hear them announced without their
actually being entered. It takes a single finger double tap to record the
emoji which has focus or a split tap to do so. I actually like this behavior
better than how the iOS keyboard does it.

4. You've identified another one of the Fleksy keyboard bugs or VoiceOver
inconsistencies as I call them. When doing manual input slowly one letter at
a time as we often do with a new word or a proper name, the Fleksy keyboard
more times than not will announce it as a capital letter regardless if you
have your settings to identify case correctly as it sounds like you do. The
good news is that Fleksy is entering the correct case even if it is
announcing it incorrectly and we're just going too have to get used to this
anomaly. Fleksy also consistently capitalizes the first letter of a word in
a new sentence provided this setting is turned on.

5. Fleksy should get better at guessing your words the more you use it and I
also urge you to often add the words not identified correctly to your Fleksy
dictionary via a single finger swipe up after input. The more complete your
Fleksy dictionary, the better it will be at guessing the correct word.

6. If you've turned off the setting to show accented versions of all
letters, this should help avoid that issue as you do manual input.
Unfortunately, the letter e as well as a couple of others have accented
versions which will pop up if you linger on these keys while doing manual
input. All I can offer here is to develop a procedure to watch out for this
and to use your single finger swipe left to delete an erroneous entry often.
And this also happens to me quite often too.

Try not to get discouraged but continue to practice with the Fleksy
keyboard. Also, anyone running into problems should post them here so we can
develop the documented methodology to make this keyboard work for us.

Alan Lemly

Version 3. 40 has been released today for blind square

[joseph hudson]

Hello, I know that there's a few of you that are not on the blinds were listed 
it recently gotten interested in blind square. The latest version has just been 
released and should be available for download soon. The release notes will be 
below.BlindSquare 3.40 has been released. It might take couple of hours until 
you
see new version on your App Store.

NEW: the internal browser that opens when you open the website of a
location from the Place Summary screen now has three buttons at the bottom
of the screen: Back and Forward to go to the previous or next page and
Safari to open the current page in Safari.

CHANGE: Open Street Map information has been updated. This should improve
the user experience in areas where intersections were not announced
reliably in the past.

CHANGE: When you perform a search, BlindSquare no longer filters out
places. This should result in more matches. However, this filter is still
active for automatic announcements to prevent announcement of garbage data
from Foursquare. BlindSquare will only announce a place automatically if at
least five different people have checked in there.

FIX: Importing places now works again under iOS 9.

Keyboard hints on an ipad

[Angies Husband]

Does anyone know if there's  a way to turn keyboard hints off when using an 
iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard/ I suspect the answer is no, but there a pain in 
the ass, as in certain apps like mail and safari, they continually move the 
focus to the keyboard hints, which makes it very difficult to do what you're 
trying to do. Also, can I make them go away when they appear/ the command key 
seems to work sometimes, but not always.

Re: iOS Dice App

You may also want to look at an app called Dicetray. It works quite
well with Voiceover and it's easy to add dice to your tray. They are
labelled well and you merely have to select the die needed. There is
also a tab for single rolls of various dice.

Re: How to check the battery on the watch quickly Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

Hi,

On a watch, all the features that don’t tell time like calendars, compass, etc 
are called complications. It actually makes sence to call the things you add to 
your watch face complications.

Problems with Fleksy number/symbols layout

[Christina C.]

Hi,

I am having all kinds of problems with the Fleksy third party keyboard app. I 
really don’t know why I am bothering. I guess it’s because I loved loved loved 
the stand alone Fleksy keyboard and I so badly want to experience that same 
ease of typing.

When I am trying to touch type in Fleksy, I keep engaging the numbers and 
symbols layout. This is highly frustrating because I keep doing it even in 
minimal mode layout and I don’t even know how I am making it happen. Then I 
can’t figure out how to get back to the letter layout. Also, voice Over 
announces each letter that I type as a capital letter no matter what. It’s 
frustrating because I can’t figure out if I accidentally hit the shift button 
or not. I keep having to check and see if shift is selected or not. I also made 
sure that in settings the keyboard will reflect uppercase and lowercase 
letters. Also, how do I avoid hitting the shift or delete key. The shift key 
was never a factor with the stand alone fleksy keyboard.  I still cannot type 
one complete sentence in a reasonable amount of time. I am significantly slower 
on the Fleksy keyboard than on the native iOS keyboard. Fleksy rarely guesses 
my words correctly so I must be way way off. Fleksy was 90% accurate at 
guessing what I wanted to type in the Fleksy  stand alone app. Also, when I try 
to feel my way around the keyboard and lift my finger off of the screen to type 
a letter I get the letters with accents even though I have this turned off in 
the settings.

Monica, this number row extension is not necessary because the Fleksy 
keyboard also has a button to switch to numbers/symbols just like the native 
keyboard. This number row extension is seen as an enhancement or perk and it’s 
free. It’s so you can have access to numbers without having to switch to the 
number and symbols layout every time you need to type a number. It’s a way 
to customize your typing experience with Fleksy

Re: Blindfold wildcard?

[Monica Jones]

It's not upgrades that we made. I don't mind that, but what they do now is 
keep wanting us to purchase over and over throughout each game.

Subject: Re: Blindfold wildcard?

I like the games and have gotten many. When I first got them, I bought
a lot of the upgrades in order to support the developer. However,
since then, I haven't really played any of the games. The only game
that they have released which I am totally addicted to is the recent
Blindfold Tile Puzzle, which has variations of the popular 2048 and
Threes games. I usually keep the Blindfold games in a folder of their
own, but I quickly noticed that Tile Puzzle would be one that I
couldn't stop, so I moved that one to page 1 of my home screens. It's
a good time waste when waiting on a ride or at home. For those that
don't know what it is, you move tiles around a 4-by-4 grid and combine
tiles with the same number value. It is very much a math geek number
game, but I love numbers and patterns. I understand what others are
saying about tnot wanting to keep buying upgrades over many different
games, but really how is that any different from other apps? I've
downloaded several mainstream apps, granted from different developers,
but which had a lite version and you had to get an in-app purchase to
unlock other features. Or, consider the Nature Space app; if I want to
buy other nature sounds to use for falling asleep, I have to buy them
separately. To each their own.

Yes it is. It is part of a feature in iOS 8 and later where phone calls can be

Re: Handwriting

The game was called DoItWrite, which is all written together. I use
the handwriting feature to open apps all the time. Though you can use
it in other parts of the OS, I typically just stick to the home
screens since I would rather use the virtual keyboard than write the
letters.

Subject: Handwriting mode and amount of apps -was- Re: How can I find an 
app


on my phone to move it?

Remember, I have been collecting apps since June 19th 2009 when the iPhone
3GS came out.

So this may seem like a lot but I would bet that this is a pretty normal
purchase amount for the time I have had an iPhone.

-Maybe not… :) I wonder what the average amount of apps per iPhone owner
is…

Anyway, great topic and so as not to inadvertently hijack this thread, let
me just ask that we keep this one to the process of searching for apps and
start a new thread if people are actually interested in the average amount
of apps per iPhone owner.

Let me offer my apologies for accidentally helping to lead this thread
astray! :)

Once again, for those who may not be familiar with using the handwriting
mode to find apps, if you use the rotor to locate the handwriting option
while you are on the home screen, you can then draw letters with your
finger. Each letter you draw will cause a list of apps to be displayed,
which you can then navigate using a two-finger flick up or down. The more
letters you draw, the more refined the list of apps will become until you
either find the app you are looking for or the list can get no smaller.

Does this make sense?

In this way, you can either find a nice list of apps which begin with a
single letter, go quickly to a specific app from anywhere on your phone, 
or


anything in between.

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for the great thread!

Hi,

I recently deactivated my iPhone 5S but decided to keep it for use on Wi-Fi
to read books. I am running the latest IOS that came out yesterday. This
morning when I received a phone call on my new 6S+ my 5S also rang. That is
the first time I ever noticed that happening. In all fairness I usually have
the 5S turned off so it may have happened before I wouldn't know. However, I
was wondering if this is normal for a deactivated phone on Wi-Fi acting as a
sort of iPod?

Extensions are small pieces of code that can extend the functionality of
the fleksy keyboard. Think of them as plugins or addons to the keyboard.
The most useful extensions for Voiceover users are Cursor control, which
when installed moves the cursor when you drag your finger over the space
bar, One handed, which pulls the keyboard to either the left or right
side of the phone and shrinks it a little thereby making it easy to type
with one hand and Hot keys, which works quite like a text expander or
the shortcut keys on the stock keyboard. You tell the app what icon to
use, (they’re accessible to voiceover) and then type the output that is
what the hot key should do, i.e an email adress, a common phrase that
you type often, that kind of thing and when done, you have this icon
above the keyboard and can press it whenever you want to use it. There’s
also the number row that Allan mentioned that adds a number row above
the keyboard.
Hope this was helpful.

Krister,
Thanks for your kind words and your additional instruction. I
especially appreciate your comments about the extensions because now I
understand how to remove the ones that have been installed. It seems
that the first line that appears when you execute the Extensions
button shows those that are installed which I'm thinking may be
limited to four because there is only room for four extension icons on
this top row. Only clicks are heard as you swipe through these and
nothing happens if you double tap on any of these first row icons if
none are installed. However, if any are installed, they are presented
in this top row but without any VoiceOver identification. If you
double tap on an installed extension icon in this top row, another
small box in the center of the screen will open identifying the
extension and provide an identified remove button to remove it. I
noticed that the first icon in this top row always seems to say GIFs
whether that extension is installed or not. It seems as if it might be
dimmed on mine as I have no extensions installed and nothing happens
when I double tap on it.
I will update the tutorial to reflect this additional info about the
extensions as well as your other comments on emojis and languages.
I'll not rush this since I'm hoping other suggestions might be
forthcoming and I'd like to get as many edits in as possible before
reposting the tutorial.
I do have one question for you. The original Fleksy included an
apostrophe s in the punctuation choices to make it easy to enter
possessive punctuation. The Fleksy Keyboard doesn't do this and I'm
wondering if you have a suggestion on how to make entering an
apostrophe followed by an s easier. I guess I can always simply fetch
the apostrophe from the numbers keyboard and then jump back to the
letters as I have to do with the standard iOS keyboard but I'd welcome
a shortcut since I use this fairly often.
Thanks again for your comments.
Alan

Hi,
This is a very good tutorial indeed. Please allow me to try to add
some things that i’ve discovered:
1 to uninstall an extension you have to click on the area at the top
of the screen where there are just clicks to be heard from VO, then
look at the text that appears below that describes the extension. If
you have chosen the right extension, swipe to the button that says
”remove” and press it. This removes your extension.
Unfortunately right now this is rather a hit or miss scenario but it
works.
2 when opening the emoji keyboard for the first time, there’s a dialog
explaining that you can change colors of the emoji. This dialog has to
be removed before you can do things with your emo

Re: SIRI issues - can someone help me out here?

[Christina C.]

I don’t quite understand what you are saying is happening. I do have a Siri 
problem of my own and I wonder if it’s similar to yours. which I thought was 
some kind of bug. If I’m in Safari or a text field. I cant’ seem to engage Siri 
properly with the home button. I get a quick Bonk and Siri says, sorry, I 
didn’t get that. I then have to touch the screen and I find the listen button 
near the bottom. If I tap it I can use Siri, or I can now use the home button 
to use Siri after I have touched the screen. I do have to touch the screen 
first before I can get Siri to work with the home button. I’m not sure if I 
have to touch the listen button itself but I do have to touch the screen for 
sure. Another work around for me is to just go to my home screen and then I can 
use the home button from there to use Siri. 

Is this the same problem you are having? Is anyone else having this problem. I 
promise, I’m not trying to hijack your message with a problem of my own. I’m 
just trying to understand if our problems are the same or very different.

FW: I Books- Basic Questions

Subject: RE: I Books- Basic Questions

Hello. I have another question about an iBook. Last week, there was an iBook 
mentioned on this list called Mastering the Mac with Voiceover. I searched for 
this, and can’t find it. Does anybody know if it is still available?
Thanks.

Any voice that is on your Apple device that works as a voiceover voice can be 
used with iBooks. That would include the nuance voices, and the Alex voice, 
which come with your device. I think you can also purchase voices for the Mac 
to be used with voiceover from a company called sepstrel. I'm dictating this 
message, so that is probably spelled wrong, but I don't know how to spell it. 
You can buy those voices, use them with voiceover, and thus with iBooks on the 
Mac. But on an iPhone or iPad, you cannot use, for example, voices that you 
purchased to go along with voice dream reader, as those voices do not work as 
voiceover voices. So the key is, if it works as a voice over voice, you can use 
it. If not, you cannot use it.

I just started looking at the I Books app which I have never tried.  It seems 
that you can read books either in audio format or by having Voiceover read the 
text of a book, although each book may not offer both options.

My question is what voice or voices can be used to listen to the text of an i 
Book?  Is it only the voice that comes with turning on Voiceover on your Apple 
device?
If you can purchase other voices, where do you go to purchase these voices, how 
are they downloaded and how to you select another voice rather than the 
Voiceover voice which comes with the Apple devices?  Thanks for any guidance.

Re: iOS Dice App

Hello,
Would something like dice world not be good? You could play against your 
children, and even friends, given that they have it installed. You would have 
to most likely install it on more than one device, though.

Not an app, but works like one on a remote page, minimalist code, so no real 
issue with data plan.

There is a dice amongst that;  as complicated as you like, but default is two 
dice of 1-6, the normal ones.

Hi All,

Here’s one for the parents amongst you, is there an accessible iOS App which 
simulates the rolling of a dice in an easy to use 
manner, when playing board games with some of my younger children they’ve 
identified that Daddy is blind, so, can cheat me, but, not 
quite old enough to understand that doing so, well, err, isn’t quite moral let

App which had an easy UI, press here, dice roles, result read aloud by Voice

Many thanks for any ideas / thoughts!

 Hi all,
 
 I am new to the Watch, so not certain about behaviors.  When 
 notifications come in, my watch vibrates, which is great.  However, my 
 phone no longer alerts me with tones.  Is there a setting to fix this? 
  For me, this is a big drawback.  I have custom tones for a reason & 
 if I didn’t want to hear them, I would silence my phone.  Lol, last 
 night, my watch was low on battery, so I took it off & walked away 
 phone in hand.  I missed a message because there was no alert tone.
 
 :) Really hoping the community can inform me on my options.
 
 Thank you,

Hello Anna
I would like to accomplish this. Do you cover this topic in your book on the 
apple watch? And also, Where do I purchase the book?

  Hi,

  You can add Battery as a complication on your watch face. You can also add 
Batteries to the Today screen on your iPHone; this shows both your watch and 
iPhone battery status.

  Best,
  Anna

   Hello Traci,
   
   You can customize your notifications in great detail using the 
Notifications options in the Watch app on your phone. If you mirror 
notifications on your watch, you get them on the watch instead of the phone 
unless you're using the phone at the time they come in. However, you can 
configure any notification to play only on the phone.

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Traci and John,

What's always happened for me is that either I'm alerted by the watch or the 
phone of a notification. If I'm notified on the phone, the sound plays. If I'm 
notified on the watch, there's a vibration and, if sounds are on, there's a 
sound. I don't know of any way to get alerted to a notification in both places.

Best,
Anna

Re: Moving appsbetween pages within multi-paged folders?

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Gerardo,

Yes, you can move apps between pages in folders. The process is just like doing 
it for apps except that you need to keep your finger in the lower part of the 
screen. If you move it up too high, you'll run into the problem of the phone 
thinking you want to move the app out of the folder.

Best,
Anna

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[John Panarese]

   Well, if you have alerts going to your watch, by default, the watch will 
make the sound. You have to change that on the watch for the sounds to only 
come from the Phone. I do this myself, so I know it’s possible.

RE: Heos Denon speakers app

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Adrienne,

I checked a bit more into this Denon system and it looks like they also have a 
number of different size speakers and given the success of Sonos it is of 
course to be expected that others want a piece of that pie. Keep in mind that 
Sonos has also won a lot of awards with their system, their Playbar was rated 
best soundbar I think in 2014 and in any case when  you read reviews they are 
always based on a reviewer hence they are subjective. I used to be very much an 
audio file and still have my very expensive system which I purchased around 20 
years ago in my music room downstairs and I can assure you that given their 
price all the Sonos players sound awesome and if, for example, you were to 
combine 2 Play 3 or 2 Play 5 speakers with a Sonos Sub it sounds outright 
impressive. Of course at that point you are looking at $1,300 for the Sub and 2 
Play 3 or $1,500 for the Sub and 2 Play 5. If you have only a smaller room even 
a set of Play 1 sound very nice and they are only $200/each in the US (not sure 
what Sonos prices are in the UK).


Best regards,
Sieghard

Hi Sieghard and Brett

Thanks very much for this feedback. 

Yes, it sounds like Sonus is a much better bet for us VO users. I was intrigued 
by the Denon system appearing in T3 magazines list of the best 12 pieces of 
tech on the planet.

I did download the app, but it didn’t really make much sense without a system 
to use with it. I also tweeted Denon to ask about accessibility, but have had 
no reply.

Can’t help but feel, from what you both say, that Sonus should get my custom 
because of their commitment to accessibility.

Thanks again

Adrienne

RE: Sonos accessibility question was Re: Heos Denon speakers app

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Krister,

I guess you are technically correct although the fact TruePlay isn't accessible 
is because Sonos hasn't figured out a way to make it accessible with Voiceover. 
I'll see if one of the contacts I had at Sonos from a few years ago when I was 
bugging them about accessibility a lot is still there and I'll ask him.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi 
Speaking of accessibility in the Sonos app, i have 2 questions: Does anyone 
know if the trueplay function of Sonos is going to be accessible? If not, we 
can’t say it’s fully accessible, we can say it’s about 99.9 percent there. 
The other question is has anyone heard anything about the accessibility on the 
Mac side of things Sonos? Will it improve?

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Traci]

As far as I can figure, I have tweaked all the settings in various ways, with 
the same result. Vibration alert on my watch, no sound on my phone. I'm 
beginning to think this is normal behavior. Is this the way it works for others?

Since my Apple Watch is brand-new, can I call Apple support?

Re: I Books- Basic Questions

Christopher, 



Thanks for reminding us of the speak screen feature. I have that enabled on my 
iPhone but didn't mention it because I'm not really a fan of using that for any 
lengthy book reading. I get different volume levels with it and prefer to read 
with an app that doesn't feel like a workaround. It does provide another option 
which I'm happy to have but I don't seen to use it very often.

Re: Uses of Workflow App?

['Carol Pearson' via VIPhone]

Hi Denny,

Did you get any further with this Workflow project? I was interested so 
downloaded the app and have played a little but haven't had the time or 
energy to get quite this far, so will be interested in what you're now 
doing with it.

I created a new workflow.  I then added the record audio action to the
workflow.  I added the copy to clipboard action to the workflow.  I
then added the send email action to the workflow.

I am playing around with the settings for each action.  I have the
record audio action set to record on tap and to stop recording on tap.
I have the send email action set to not show the mail composer, added
in a generic subject, and set the contact to my work email.

The main issue I have still is that when I click the start workflow
button, I then need to click the start recording button.  When I do
the second button voiceover speaks and is captured on the recording.
I may play with setting the start recording option to instant or with
a delay.  I am also going to look at if I really need the copy to
clipboard action, or if it will work without it.  I am hoping I can
get rid of the need to click done once I am finished with the
recording.  As it is now I click the start recording, record my memo,
then click the stop recording button.  Then I need to click the done
button to get to the send email button.  Lots of extra clicking in
there, but a work in progress.

I just created one that will do a voice recording on the Apple Watch,

something to use during a meeting to quickly record my own notes

Congratulations to Workflow for winning the AppleVis Golden Apple award
for the Best iOS App of 2015. I believe I've got a pretty good
conceptual
understanding of this app which seems synonymous with macros in Excel
or
keystroke macros in the earlier days of the personal computer. What I'm
having more difficulty with is coming up with how to practically use
this
app on my iPhone so I thought I'd ask what others who are using it on
this
list are using it for.

Thanks for any comments you're willing to share.

Re: Blindfold wildcard?

[Tessa]

Hi,
My issue with paying for things in the game is that I'm expected to pay for 
something which was available free when I first bought the game.
If customizing other players hadn't been available before then I wouldn't 
care.
It's like buying a furnished house and then two months later you find some 
of the furniture has vanished and the previous owner says you can have them 
back but you have to pay more to get them. Just seems unfair to me LOL.

Re: SIRI issues - can someone help me out here?

[Richard Turner]

Are you using an earphone?
Have you gone into settings and turned Siri off, rebooted, then gone back into 
settings and turned Siri back on again?
If none of that works, I'd call Apple Accessibility.
The network you are on shouldn't make any difference.
HTH,
Richard

Sonos accessibility question was Re: Heos Denon speakers app

[Krister Ekstrom]

Hi 
Speaking of accessibility in the Sonos app, i have 2 questions: Does anyone 
know if the trueplay function of Sonos is going to be accessible? If not, we 
can’t say it’s fully accessible, we can say it’s about 99.9 percent there. 
The other question is has anyone heard anything about the accessibility on the 
Mac side of things Sonos? Will it improve?

Heos Denon speakers app

['ChalmersAS' via VIPhone]

Hi Sieghard and Brett

Thanks very much for this feedback. 

Yes, it sounds like Sonus is a much better bet for us VO users. I was intrigued 
by the Denon system appearing in T3 magazines list of the best 12 pieces of 
tech on the planet.

I did download the app, but it didn’t really make much sense without a system 
to use with it. I also tweeted Denon to ask about accessibility, but have had 
no reply.

Can’t help but feel, from what you both say, that Sonus should get my custom 
because of their commitment to accessibility.

Thanks again

SIRI issues - can someone help me out here?

[Rajmund]

Hello all,


OK,  so, here's my issue. I actually had to have a phone replacement, as far as 
the braille dots, they were jumping here there and everywhere. Anyway, this new 
phone, I got it on Sunday. Yesterday, I tried to ask Siri for the weather, but 
unfortunately, it never answered me. I rebooted, tried reset network settings, 
and, even set up as new. It worked once, but not now. However, if I press the 
home key, while SIRI is listening to me, if I swipe with VO, it'll say I didn't 
get that, which leads me not to think that it is a hardware issue. I have also 
tried off both another WIFI, and 3G, but to no avail. Any ideas anyone, please? 
Anything I possibly could try?
Thanks a lot! :-)
