RE: audio at a live hockey game

2016-02-24 Thread Kevin Minor
Hi.

You might be able to find an app to get the hockey game, but the audio will 
probably lag behind the live action.  This is due to the internet relaying the 
audio from the arena to a server somewhere on Earth, and then it’s relayed 
through other servers back to you.  I don’t fully understand why this is the 
case, since VOIP programs like Skype give almost instant communications between 
computers over great distances.

Wish I had better news.  If it were me I’d invest a few dollars on an 
inexpensive radio to get the game.  Oh yeah, speaking of getting the game over 
the air, some stations delay the over the air broadcast for at least seven 
seconds, and maybe even more.  I think they do this so if the mics that pick up 
the action in the arena catch one of those words that you don’t use on the 
radio, the station can hit a button to cut the offending word from going over 
the air.  I experienced this at a Kentucky Basketball game.  I had a radio with 
me to hear the game.  The crowd would get excited about something that 
happened, and about fifteen seconds later I’d hear what happened to get them so 
excited.  Some venues have a transmitter that is designed to cover only the 
inside of the arena, and you tune to that frequency to hear the game.

Whatever you do, good luck.  You might want to contact either the Avalanche 
team, the arena where they play, or the radio station that broadcasts the game 
and see what’s available.  Who knows.  There may indeed be an app that will do 
exactly what you desire.  I’m just telling you what I’ve experienced.

Have a blessed day, and don’t work too hard.

Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY

Adding or Moving Contacts Between Groups in iOS

2016-02-24 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone,

I am cross-posting this.

I feel as though I am in the Twilight Zone, today. (smile)

Is there a natively Apple iOS method of moving Contacts between groups?  

>From what I can discover, there is not.  

If I go to iCloud.com I can manage groups and move contacts between them
using a very visual method.  That is to say, one has to click and drag the
contacts to the various groups.  This is, in no way, blind or low-vision
friendly.  

Now I realize that there are third-party iOS apps that many use and
recommend, however, I do not like the idea of giving a third-party app
access to my contacts list.  

Perhaps this can be done in OS X?  I seem to remember that this subject was
discussed a while back on the Mac Visionaries mailing list.

Thank you all for your help on this one.

Mark

audio at a live hockey game

2016-02-24 Thread R VanLant
Occasionally I go to Colorado Avalanche hockey  games at the big stadium in
Denver.   A blind friend told me that he listens to the game via a live
broadcast on a small AM radio when he goes to the game.  Rather than buying
a little radio, is there an app I can use on my phone to tune into that AM
signal or would I possibly need to see if the AM station puts a feed on a
website?I do not otherwise listen to the radio, so this is probably the
only thing I'd be trying to listen  to.

Hi Jen.

I know this message is a few days after your original post, but here’s another 
way you might get VoiceOver back.  This only works if you have the 
accessibility option on in your settings.

Press the bottom left button on the remote several times to get to the main 
screen.

Now press and hold the bottom left button for about five seconds.

Now, press the large button on the remote.  This should activate VoiceOver.

I hope this works for you.

Have a blessed day, and don’t work too hard.

Tomek, the creator doesn't know quite why Amazon does it this way either.
When you follow that link, then double tap on "all buying options" and then on 
that page there is a link for "fopydo" double tap that and the add to cart 
button will show up.

 The StandScan Pro is a cardboard box with lights in the top that folds 
 down nicely, if a bit flimbsy.
 It is a bit tricky to set up, but works fine for standard sized documents, 
 and some people scan books with it successfully though you have to hold 
 the book open.
 It costs about $39 plus shipping I think if you get the power bundle which 
 comes with both the 12 volt battery pack and a 9 volt battery pack plus 
 the included AC adapter.
 The Fopydo stand plus book reading aid does not have lights, so depends on 
 either room light or the flash on the phone. It is designed so the foam 
 pads can hold the book open. Also, the stand can be adjusted in height to 
 allow for longer documents, even legal sized pages, and therefore also 
 larger books. The material it is made out of is more durable than the 
 StandScan.
 The combination of the stand and book reading aid costs $35 plus $5 
 shipping.

Re: A Question About Audio Descriptive Movies in iTunes

2016-02-24 Thread Richard Turner

hi Mark,
Welcome to the world of movie business inconsistency. 
There is no guarantee that a movie with audio description in the theater that 
is released on DVD or in iTunes will also have the audio description.
If the DVD is the "theater" cut, it is more likely to have it. If the DVD is 
the "Director's" cut, it is more likely to have a track with the director going 
on and on and on talking over the movie explaining in real time why they did 
what they did; which is often most suitable as a sedative.
I do know that The Martian version in iTunes has audio description whether you 
rent it or buy it, but there is no indication before you get it that audio 
description is available.
The bottom line is that audio description is not seen as essential the way 
closed captioning is.
I think nothing will change until someone can win a major law suit against the 
video industry.
But, that is unlikely to happen since there are so many different sources for 
movies.

Richard

A Question About Audio Descriptive Movies in iTunes

2016-02-24 Thread M. Taylor
Hello All,

I am posting this question to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing
list.

My primary question:
Is the audio description track included when renting a movie from iTunes? or
must one purchase the movie in order to receive the audio description track.

My secondary question:
If a movie debuted with an audio description track in the theater, does it
follow that the movie will include that track in the iTunes store version of
the movie?

Here's my situation:
Last summer I saw the movie entitled "Edge of Tomorrow", in the theater,
complete with audio description.  To me, it was a fabulous movie.  Just so
you know, the film is now marketed and sold under the title, "Live die
Repeat".

A couple of days ago, a sighted friend of mine rented Live die Repeat, from
the iTunes Store.  She watched it on her iPad.  Even though many titles, in
the iTunes Store, are not listed as having audio description, I was hoping
that, like so many others, given that the film was released with audio
description in the theater, the track would be included on the download.  

According to her, she could not hear any audio description despite having
the settings on her iPad configured correctly.

I should probably add that, to my dismay, I discovered that the DVD copy of
this title, I purchased when it was first made available, did not include
the audio description track, either.

I would so much like to enjoy this movie again but I fear, that, unless I
can locate a version that includes the audio description track, I will not
be able to relive the experience of "Edge of Tomorrow".

All replies most welcomed.

Mark

There is no such thing as a plus, it is called the Fopydo Book Reading Aid and

If you still can't find it, let me know and I'll find the link and post it.

 Hello Paul,
 
 Whether the Fopydo is the best choice for your needs is a matter of 
 personal choice.
 The Fopydo does not have its own lighting, but it folds away neatly, 
 is very adjustable for height and works with any smart phone. It’s 
 by far the best solution for reading books.
 The StandScan Pro has its own lighting, folds away neatly, works 
 with any smart phone but is somewhat limited in the size of paper 
 that will fit inside it.
 The Giraffe Reader is the smallest and lightest of the stands, but 
 is made to fit a specific iPhone and is very limited as to the size 
 of paper that works with it.
 
 These are the stands I own, and for me, the Fopydo is my favourite.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Anne

Hi Richard,
I went on Amazon and did a search for Fopydo stand plus and did not get any 
hits. I did get the regular Fopydo stand. Do they have the one with the book 
attachment on Amazon and how do I tell?
On Amazon there is one that is price at $35 but it is not the plus as far as I 
can tell. Any suggestions.
Ed

The StandScan Pro is a cardboard box with lights in the top that folds down 
nicely, if a bit flimbsy.
It is a bit tricky to set up, but works fine for standard sized documents, and 
some people scan books with it successfully though you have to hold the book 
open.
It costs about $39 plus shipping I think if you get the power bundle which 
comes with both the 12 volt battery pack and a 9 volt battery pack plus the 
included AC adapter.
The Fopydo stand plus book reading aid does not have lights, so depends on 
either room light or the flash on the phone. It is designed so the foam pads 
can hold the book open. Also, the stand can be adjusted in height to allow for 
longer documents, even legal sized pages, and therefore also larger books. The 
material it is made out of is more durable than the StandScan.
The combination of the stand and book reading aid costs $35 plus $5 shipping.
HTH,
Richard

iOS as it is doesn't support creation of the contact groups. I know, it is

Re: Turning off Unread Messages Count for Mail App'

2016-02-24 Thread Craig Werner
Hello again, everyone.

Upon further study, I now realize that the "unread counts" badge in
the Mail app actually does work with VoiceOver, but its messages are a
bit confusing.  To illustrate, let's use the example of six unread
messages in the Inbox.  If the badge is set to "on," VoiceOver reads
"six unread emails," but if the badge is turned off, VoiceOver says
"no unread emails."  A family member tells me that there is no "X
unread emails" displayed on the screen when the badge is turned off.
I would rather that VoiceOver speak nothing than speak the confusing
"no unread emails" announcement.  This is a very trivial point, I
know, but I just wanted to set the record straight.

 Just to add to Anne's comments, whether it is the best solution for you is
 rather subjective, but I think it is the best overall solution and it also
 happens to be the least expensive.
 If you have no interest in scanning books, then the stand by itself is the
 way to go.  It is $12.00.
 The full name is "Fopydo Scanning Stand for the Blind.  You can get it via
 PayPal through the fopydo web site: www.fopydo.com
 Or, through Amazon where there is a $3.00 shipping charge.  I don't know
 if he charges shipping when you go through his site.

 Hello Paul,
 
 Whether the Fopydo is the best choice for your needs is a matter of
 personal choice.
 The Fopydo does not have its own lighting, but it folds away neatly, is
 very adjustable for height and works with any smart phone. It’s by far the
 best solution for reading books.
 The StandScan Pro has its own lighting, folds away neatly, works with any
 smart phone but is somewhat limited in the size of paper that will fit
 inside it.
 The Giraffe Reader is the smallest and lightest of the stands, but is made
 to fit a specific iPhone and is very limited as to the size of paper that
 works with it.
 
 These are the stands I own, and for me, the Fopydo is my favourite.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Anne

2016-02-24 Thread Gordan Radić

  
  
Hi!
I didn't follow the previous discussion on this topic so I'll try to
answer as clear as I can.
When using the native Mail app you always get some options how to
download attachments. For instance, I just opened the message with
the Excel file with it and when I double tapped it it opened in some
kind of preview which I closed by two finger scrubbing.
I double tapped and held on the attachment and I got the various
options, from copy to MS Excel, iCloud, DropBox, OneDrive,
BlindSquare, SA Contacts tooption for saving which opened another
menu with the cloud services I use and I can select any of them to
save my file.
I don't know do you got the same options with attachments but you
should find the desired file in some of the file apps you use.

  Hello all:
While I am sure the response to a question I asked earlier was well-intentioned, it left me more confused than ever. I was directed to access the files I downloaded in Mail from Mail Drop by going to my Download folder.   I had indicated that the filenames disappeared from the email message once the files were downloaded, and tapping on “iCloud download” did nothing. 
I have used an iPhone for about seven years now, and I am unaware of any “download folder” and could not find anything resembling information about how to access one, even in the newest software updates. I suspect the kind individual who made this suggestion may have misunderstood and was suggesting that I access the files on the download folder of a computer, but I am trying to access the files on the phone. I have accessed files before, within Mail, that were mp3 files sent via Mail Drop. I do not know why I cannot find these; they are also mp3 files. So if I am missing something, I would appreciate being set straight. Thanks for all help. 
Christine

Hi!
iOS as it is doesn't support creation of the contact groups. I know, it is 
stupid because the Contact app gives you some options for groups, such as the 
Do not Disturb option but there's no way to create a group besides external 
apps.
Try with G Contact Lite or some other contacts management apps.

Re: tips on using KNFB reader

2016-02-24 Thread Richard Turner

The StandScan Pro is a cardboard box with lights in the top that folds down 
nicely, if a bit flimbsy.
It is a bit tricky to set up, but works fine for standard sized documents, and 
some people scan books with it successfully though you have to hold the book 
open.
It costs about $39 plus shipping I think if you get the power bundle which 
comes with both the 12 volt battery pack and a 9 volt battery pack plus the 
included AC adapter.
The Fopydo stand plus book reading aid does not have lights, so depends on 
either room light or the flash on the phone. It is designed so the foam pads 
can hold the book open. Also, the stand can be adjusted in height to allow for 
longer documents, even legal sized pages, and therefore also larger books. The 
material it is made out of is more durable than the StandScan.
The combination of the stand and book reading aid costs $35 plus $5 shipping.
HTH,
Richard

Download Folder on iPhone? ??????

2016-02-24 Thread Christine Grassman
Hello all:
While I am sure the response to a question I asked earlier was 
well-intentioned, it left me more confused than ever. I was directed to access 
the files I downloaded in Mail from Mail Drop by going to my Download folder.   
I had indicated that the filenames disappeared from the email message once the 
files were downloaded, and tapping on “iCloud download” did nothing. 
I have used an iPhone for about seven years now, and I am unaware of any 
“download folder” and could not find anything resembling information about how 
to access one, even in the newest software updates. I suspect the kind 
individual who made this suggestion may have misunderstood and was suggesting 
that I access the files on the download folder of a computer, but I am trying 
to access the files on the phone. I have accessed files before, within Mail, 
that were mp3 files sent via Mail Drop. I do not know why I cannot find these; 
they are also mp3 files. So if I am missing something, I would appreciate being 
set straight. Thanks for all help. 
Christine

 Hello Sandy,

 The book reading aid is the device I’ve been wanting for as long as I’ve
 had OCR on the iPhone. I can sit in an armchair with the Fopydo on my
 lap and a book open in front of me and read comfortably. The StandScan
 Pro needs to sit on a firm base, and there’s nothing to hold a book open
 properly.

 These days, I hardly ever use a flatbed scanner since the Fopydo and the
 iPhone are so convenient to use.

 So, in my opinion, the Fopydo with Book Reading Aid is the best scanning
 and OCR solution.

 Cheers,

 hi Anne,
 just wanting your opinion here: I have a stand scan pro and find it very 
 usable portable et cetera, but because people seem so happy with the book 
 reading aid of the foPydo device, I am considering purchasing it. do you 
 think the book reading aid is so good that it outweighs the fact that 
 there is no lighting provided with this stand? I don't wish to purchase 
 extra things unless they will provide me with increased functionality. so, 
 in short, is the book reading aid plus stand a deal breaker?
 
 thanks in advance for your words of wisdom,

Here is a message from Nick, the developer of Dice World in reply to a 
message I sent him, see below for both messages

Good morning,

It appears that Facebook made a change on their side that is causing this 
confusion.  We have not made any changes.  I will look into it and see what 
we can fix, if anything.


Sorry for the hassles.  Pass this message along to those who ask.  Hopefully 
we'll find a solution.

Someone posted on one of the iPhone lists that they were also noticing 
this. When you win a game, and you are prompted to post to Twitter or 
Facebook, and you double tap on Facebook, sometimes you get a button that 
says Share and other times you get a button that says post, and these are 
in different locations, depending on which you get. Has anyone else seen 
this and any idea why it happens? It used to be that you got the share 
button all of the time, but now you never know which one you will end up 
getting. It really doesn't bother me as I can locate whichever one shows 
up, but others are starting to question this behavior too.

Hi. If you swipe to the right you will find the post button. Double tap that 
and you will hear the sound saying your gold has been awarded. It will also 
tell you gold has been awarded.

They changed it recently there was the share button and they seem to have gone

adjustable item for a page on the home screen.

yes, that is all about. it is regarding to brailel keyboard. I don’t know how 
this h can happen. 

sometimes I type too fast while incoming texts come as I try to 
avoiddistraction. sometimes incoming texts come every two or three seconds 
while I type as it is rough. I am patient.

  Paul,

  I am not finding a braille command for label element. My iPhone shows Page 1 
of 2 when I am on that spot on the screen. This is a Braille Edge.

  Maybe someone else knows if there is a label element command with a braille 
display.

  The VoiceOver gesture is a two finger double-tap and hold.

  I'm not sure if you can change the label on the page number on the screen.

  Other icons like apps, if I do the VoiceOver gesture, the default label is 
shown, but if I do' that gesture on the page number, the label text is blank.

  Have you rebooted your braille display?

I think the only way to stop that behavior is to go into Settings,

That way you will not be interrupted, but you can go to messages and check

Re: Time Warner App

2016-02-24 Thread Jim Fettgather
As the app stands right now, the only inaccessible part of the app is the 
Guide, which is very sad, because at one time, it was accessible.  

The On Demand portion of the app seems to work just fine, as does the DVR 
portion of the app, in which you can find out what has been recorded on your 
DVR.

As I say, the task that cannot be done is to find a show in the guide and 
schedule a recording.
I have had no responses to my inquiries regarding accessibility improvements in 
this app.

I don't know if it is a braille display problem, since I have not found the

Hi. If you swipe to the right you will find the post button. Double
tap that and you will hear the sound saying your gold has been
awarded. It will also tell you gold has been awarded.

They changed it recently there was the share button and they seem to
have gone back to post button.

Hope this helps.

Paul,

I am not finding a braille command for label element. My iPhone shows Page 1 of 
2 when I am on that spot on the screen. This is a Braille Edge.

Maybe someone else knows if there is a label element command with a braille 
display.

The VoiceOver gesture is a two finger double-tap and hold.

I'm not sure if you can change the label on the page number on the screen.

Other icons like apps, if I do the VoiceOver gesture, the default label is 
shown, but if I do' that gesture on the page number, the label text is blank.

Have you rebooted your braille display?

I think the only way to stop that behavior is to go into Settings,

That way you will not be interrupted, but you can go to messages and check to

To react using something other than "like" tap and hold on the Like button. A

Question about "reactions" in the Facebook app for the iPhone

2016-02-24 Thread Mary Otten
Just now, when getting onto Facebook on my iPhone, I noticed what seems to be a 
new category called reactions. So, for instance, one article I looked at had 39 
reactions, 38 of which were "likes". In looking around, I don't see anything 
about how you can "react", only "like", as has always been the case. Does 
anyone know how to "react" using the Facebook app? And what are the options 
besides "like"?
Mary

Fopydo stand with Book Reading Aid VS. stand scan pro

2016-02-24 Thread Dacia Cole
Hi,

I am wanting some feedback regarding these two devices and how they
help with using the KNFB reader.  I realize that this is a subjective
question, gut what do people like each of them and what do they not
like about each of them?  I realize that one of them was a kickstarter
project so others want to support that, but I would like to be
informed regarding both of these before deciding which one I want to
buy.

Please, I need help with Facebook app

2016-02-24 Thread Mária Orovčíková

Hello list,
please, I would like to ask you for help with Facebook ap on Ipad. My 
friend has ipad 4 mini and she has Facebook app installed on it. 
Although Facebook itself works fine, she would like to have feeds sorted 
by most recent. I know it is possible to do that by clicking "more and 
then "most recent", but it seems as if she does not have "most recent" 
option there. It works perfectly on her Iphone, but not on Ipad.
Please, does anyone know any workaround to get it fixed? Reinstaling app 
did not work.

Thank you for your help in advance.
With kind regards
Maria

richard, 

yes, my sighted friend was here last night and he noticed the way. we went 
through settings, and we cdouldn’t figure out how to locate label element mode. 
if yo were here, you would see my braille display and you  would recognize it. 

for exmaple on home, you go to page 1 of 4, sighted one can see but yo see 
different on braille display. it would say “said he heard weird noises...” 

how can I go to label element and clean them out?

TeamTalk in Blind Bargains

2016-02-24 Thread Richard Turner
There was some talk on this list about TeamTalk, so I thought I'd pass this
along in case it is useful to anyone.

 


* 21. Popular TeamTalk Voice Chat Client Comes to iOS
 


TeamTalk, a popular voice chat solution with blind and visually impaired
users, is now available on the iTunes App Store.
  The
app, introduced By Bjoern Rasmussen allows for high-quality multi-person
voice, text, and video chat across a variety of devices including Windows
and Mac computers and Android phones and tablets. The iOS version includes
robust VoiceOver support, thanks in part to user testing by many blind
users. TeamTalk is a mainstream chat solution that also happens to be
accessible, thanks in large part to the efforts of the developers. The
program is free and open-source, and you can visit the Bearware website
  for more info or to contribute to the project.

How to access files downloaded from Mail Drop onto my iPhone

2016-02-24 Thread Christine Grassman
Hello, all:

I am exceedingly confused. Last week, I accessed a file sent via mail drop from 
within mail by simply tapping on the file. Yesterday, I downloaded four 
attachments from mail drop in Mail. It says iCloud download and attachments 
downloaded, but I cannot access the files. Is there somewhere I need to go to 
access them if I do not open them immediately?  Yesterday, the names of the 
different files showed in my email message before they were downloaded. Now I 
do not see the filenames. I looked on-line, but see nothing about how to access 
them on the phone once downloaded. 
Help is appreciated. 
Christine

RE: tips on using KNFB reader

2016-02-24 Thread Richard Turner
Just to add to Anne's comments, whether it is the best solution for you is 
rather subjective, but I think it is the best overall solution and it also 
happens to be the least expensive.
If you have no interest in scanning books, then the stand by itself is the way 
to go.  It is $12.00.
The full name is "Fopydo Scanning Stand for the Blind.  You can get it via 
PayPal through the fopydo web site: www.fopydo.com
Or, through Amazon where there is a $3.00 shipping charge.  I don't know if he 
charges shipping when you go through his site.

HTH,
Richard

Hello Paul,

Whether the Fopydo is the best choice for your needs is a matter of personal 
choice.
The Fopydo does not have its own lighting, but it folds away neatly, is very 
adjustable for height and works with any smart phone. It’s by far the best 
solution for reading books.
The StandScan Pro has its own lighting, folds away neatly, works with any smart 
phone but is somewhat limited in the size of paper that will fit inside it.
The Giraffe Reader is the smallest and lightest of the stands, but is made to 
fit a specific iPhone and is very limited as to the size of paper that works 
with it.

These are the stands I own, and for me, the Fopydo is my favourite.

Cheers,

Anne

Blindfold bowling

2016-02-24 Thread Michael Maslo


Hi List, for those who have blindfold bowling, and my incorrect when I say that 
the scoring seems to be off? I had played a game yesterday I had nine every 
frame and a spare in  every frame. The score I ended up per the game was  199 
this is  incorrect. The score should have been 190 .

Has anyone else noticed this?

The Fopydo products are in two parts.  You can buy just the stand for shooting 
documents for $12. You can add the book-reading aid for I think $25, or you can 
buy the bundle for $35.  Az for the apple tv.  I own it and like it.  Its one 
major deficiency is that it does not support a blue tooth keyboard but I hear 
that is to be rectified soon.  It doesn't include an internet radio tuner yet

accessibility better, are there updates since it came out?

Thanks,
Patti

Re: tips on using KNFB reader

2016-02-24 Thread Paul Parravano
Thanks Anne for your very helpful observations about this item. If I only read 
documents and pieces that are only a few pages or less, and not books, will the 
stand be sufficient? Is it still the best item for this kind of reading?

Thanks,

Paul

Re: tips on using KNFB reader

2016-02-24 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Sandy,

The book reading aid is the device I’ve been wanting for as long as I’ve had 
OCR on the iPhone. I can sit in an armchair with the Fopydo on my lap and a 
book open in front of me and read comfortably. The StandScan Pro needs to sit 
on a firm base, and there’s nothing to hold a book open properly.

These days, I hardly ever use a flatbed scanner since the Fopydo and the iPhone 
are so convenient to use.

So, in my opinion, the Fopydo with Book Reading Aid is the best scanning and 
OCR solution.

Cheers,

Anne

hi Anne,
just wanting your opinion here: I have a stand scan pro and find it very usable 
portable et cetera, but because people seem so happy with the book reading aid 
of the foPydo device, I am considering purchasing it. do you think the book 
reading aid is so good that it outweighs the fact that there is no lighting 
provided with this stand? I don't wish to purchase extra things unless they 
will provide me with increased functionality. so, in short, is the book reading 
aid plus stand a deal breaker?

thanks in advance for your words of wisdom,
Sandy

 Hello Dionipher,
 
 The easiest way to get good results every time with KNFBReader is to buy 
 the Fopydo stand with Book Reading Aid. It holds the phone in exactly the 
 right position for the book or sheet of paper, and the Book Reading Aid 
 holds the book open so that you can scan both pages at once. You need to 
 set the Document Type to Multiple Columns when scanning books.
 The Fopydo is lightweight and folds almost flat. It’s easy to carry in a
