Sorry, I meant to add that this is not new, but still a very useful feature!

That method of copying text has been around for a while. I don't 
remember off hand when it came in, but it is not new in 9.3.
The text selection on the rotor is new in the iOS 9 cycle, which when 
available is also quite handy.

I think we have another feature, of using the three finger quadruple 
tap when capturing text. On some pages there's just no other way to 
get what you want ...
In case anyone hasn't discovered this, it's useful, for example, when 
you have to enter a code. Once you hear just the code you want, you 
can then do this gesture and copy it into pasteboard (which I assume 
is the same as the clipboard) and paste it where required.


Perhaps I am wrong and sighted people can do this, but perhaps not so 
easily as we can.


No doubt, someone will enlighten me!

Dear listers
You’re probably all going to come back and tell me this has been 
in iOS forever but I’ve just discovered that, on my 6S at least, 
swiping left or right with four fingers switches between running 
apps. I know this has worked on an iPad Air 2 for a while but 
wasn’t aware it was available on the phone. Enjoy!

Thanks, Robin

Re: Mega discovery in 9.3

No, I'm pretty sure the roter is a VoiceOver feature, and I believe it's 
only documented in the VoiceOver section of the manual. I don't think, 
when you perform the roter jesture, that anything on the screen changes, 
so there'd be nothing for a non-VoiceOver user to interact with at that 
point.

Re: listening to music on my Iphone

I know you can go into Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver 
-> Roter and add audio ducking to the roter so you can then toggle it on 
and off with a flick up or down of a finger. I'm not sure if there's 
another way to get to it or not.

Re: Offline dictation in 9.3

I just googled offline dictation in ios, and everything I read said it was only 
available in the 6s or 6s plus models and that it is not enabled by default. 
You have to go into the Settings, General, Keyboard, and download the offline 
dictation files and that is only available for English keyboards.
So, I for one will never have access to it since I have no need to spend a lot 
of money on a 6s while my 5s is working just fine.
And, I prefer the size of the 5s, so when I need to get a new phone one day, 
the iPhone SE or whatever it is called by then, will be my choice. Who knows, 
maybe that feature is available in the SE since it has most of the 6s 
components?

audio ducking, a possible bug fix and maybe a new feature?

Thanks to the question about Audio Ducking,  I did some digging in settings and 
discovered what I think is a bug fix and possibly a new setting, at least new 
to me.
BTW, the only way to adjust audio ducking is by putting it on the rotor. 
First, the bug fix. Before 9.3, Siri would never work through my Apple 
Airpods/earphones.
I tried using Siri to get to the VoiceOver settings, forgetting that Siri 
hadn't worked when using my earphones; and wala, Siri worked just fine.
Now, the new feature to me at least.
In the Accessibility settings, there is a keyboard setting that is different 
than the regular keyboard setting under General. In the accessibility keyboard, 
the first item is "Key Repeat." This defaults to on. Double tap it and you find 
that it enables holding down a key to have it repeat and you can set how long 
you hold the key before it repeats, etc.
Or, you can turn it off.
I had not seen this setting before.

Aftershokz Bluez 2S and its microphone

2016-03-24 Thread Krister Ekstrom

Hello and sorry for the cross posting but i figured that if nobody on one list 
knows this, maybe someone on the other one does, anyway here’s the problem.
I have an Aftershokz Bluez 2S and i am trying to get the microphone in it to 
work, that is, it works, only apparently not so good. A friend of mine who also 
has the Bluez 2S has his microphone working very well.
So either my head’s too big for the headset or i am doing something wrong, 
though i can for the life of me not figure out what i do wrong. People i have 
tested the headset on say they here me as from a long distance.
What can be the problem here?

You have to go into the Settings, General, Keyboard, and download the offline 
dictation files and that is only available for English keyboards.
So, I for one will never have access to it since I have no need to spend a lot 
of money on a 6s while my 5s is working just fine.
And, I prefer the size of the 5s, so when I need to get a new phone one day, 
the iPhone SE or whatever it is called by then, will be my choice. Who knows, 
maybe that feature is available in the SE since it has most of the 6s 
components?

False alarm Re: Do not install seeing eye GPS 2.11

I heard back from Sendero very quickly. Apparently, I just had a bad download, 
which I should have thought of, but deleting the app and reinstalling it fixed 
the issue. So if you have it, install it. If you don't and want to try it out, 
apparently there is now a 30 day free trial.
Here is what it says in the what's new; note no mention of the free trial.

Integrated iOS 9 optimization, now the app loads in half the time.

· Updated the Google Map SDK.

· Added indoor beacons to the POI sources for indoor orientation 
through Boni’s LoudSteps SDK.

· Added Magic tap gesture to repeat the last spoken route instruction 
when a route is loaded.

· Added a Repeat button to the route loaded, location and visual map 
screen when a route is loaded.

· Route instructions are numbered.

· Current route instruction is highlighted in the route details.

· Completely redesigned the visual user interface for low vision users, 
adding various text and background color themes.

· Replaced the menu buttons with menu tabs.

· Increased text font size.

· Removed the flashing yellow text for app announcements.

· Increased size of Next Turn symbol on route navigation screen.

· Added the ability to select orientation announcement preferences 
between clock-face & right/left, clock-face, or right/left.

. Updated Boni Loud Steps SDK.

Re: 9.3 so far

Hi Carol,

Yes, you do the swipe from within the app. If you have your phone in portrait 
orientation, I find it works well to have my hand turned so my four fingers are 
in a row, straight up the screen, parallel to the long sides of the phone. 
Then, I flick all of them together in the same direction. I hope that helps. 
You might want to try going to VoiceOver settings and using Practice Gestures 
so you get feedback about what you're doing to help you get the hang of it.

Best,
Anna

Re: Offline dictation in 9.3


That is interesting. This was in a Mac World article.
You checked in Settings, General, Keyboard?
Very odd that they would be that specific and it not be there.
Did you double tap on dictation?

RE: Offline dictation in 9.3

The only thing there was in dictation is to turn dictation on or off. I also 
checked in the English keyboard and there was nothing about dictation there. 
Just different layouts of the keyboard.

Re: Offline dictation in 9.3

Hi. Off-line dictation is available on the 6S, 6S fplus, and iPad Pro. It's not 
available on any other iOS device. Also, you do not need to download any 
off-line dictation files, it just works.

Re: How do you force restore an iPad after a failed upgrade?

Hi Chris,

This is how you put an iPhone in DFU mode, which is what I think you're asking 
for. I assume the process is the same on an iPad.

Connect the iPad to your computer. Hold down the Home and Power buttons for 10 
seconds. Then release the Power button, but keep holding down the Home button 
until iTunes says there's an iPad in recovery mode, and you should be able to 
restore from there. I hope it works.

Best,
Anna

Re: Mega discovery in 9.3

Hi,

Sighted users simply slide their finger from left to right to change the volume.
As far as the 4-finger swipe gesture, the AppleVis podcast is incorrect. I live 
with a sighted roommate, and we both can confirm that gesture is only available 
when VoiceOver is running.

Re: Mega discovery in 9.3

Hi Daniel,

did you and your roommate try a regular swipe, or swiping with two or three 
fingers to switch apps? My guess is that the feature is available to everyone 
but only requires four fingers if VoiceOVer is running.

Best,
Anna

 In case anyone hasn't discovered this, it's useful, for example, when
 you have to enter a code. Once you hear just the code you want, you
 can then do this gesture and copy it into pasteboard (which I assume

 Perhaps I am wrong and sighted people can do this, but perhaps not so

 You’re probably all going to come back and tell me this has been

Workflow for iOS Question

2016-03-24 Thread Emilio Hernandez

Hello everyone,

I am finally taking the time to sit and learn how to use workflow for IOS. 
However, I am slightly confused with the “actions shared extension” option for 
categorizing workflows.
When I select this option I think the workflow should be available within the 
share tab of various apps. Am I correct in this assumption?
I ask because when going to Safari for example, and I access the share tab I do 
not see any workflows, only the ability to invoke the workflow app, which then 
launches the app.
For instance, I have created a workflow that posts to my clipboard the RSS link 
of a given page, which then I can paste into Lire (my RSS reader). Sadly, Lire 
is not compatible with workflow.

Another question I have deals with selecting a particular contact when wanting 
to use the “send mail” rule.
Has anyone been able to successfully add a particular contact to this workflow 
because when I select the contact I want the work to be assigned to, the app 
crashes.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Re: Offline dictation in 9.3

2016-03-24 Thread Paul Hunt

Hello everybody. To quote Steve Jobs "it just works."
If you have a 6s or 6s plus you can test off line dictation  by following these 
steps:
1. Turn on Airplane mode.
2. Open a favorite app.
3. Just dictate.
4. Turn off Airplane mode.
I am confident that I answered your questions.

 I just googled offline dictation in ios, and everything I read said it was 
 only available in the 6s or 6s plus models and that it is not enabled by 
 default. You have to go into the Settings, General, Keyboard, and download 
 the offline dictation files and that is only available for English 
 keyboards.
 So, I for one will never have access to it since I have no need to spend a 
 lot of money on a 6s while my 5s is working just fine.
 And, I prefer the size of the 5s, so when I need to get a new phone one 
 day, the iPhone SE or whatever it is called by then, will be my choice. 
 Who knows, maybe that feature is available in the SE since it has most of 
 the 6s components?

Yes, we tried all of those methods, with no luck.
It could also be that feature is specific to the 6S and 6S Plus, since sighted

Hi Eric,



Sorry, I just am not a bluetooth hi-fi expert.  I think however that 
it's
virtually impossible to get both a good hi-fi experience, and still 
allow

environmental sound to be heard; so, I think you are stuck with either
Aftershokz or to just use one ear when possible (like these allow).



I did find an article about a variation of this from LG which is the
HBS730
(the ones I am reviewing are the HBS900).  The reviewers thought the
HBS730
were just the best bluetooth sound *ever*, but they thought the
retractable
wire management on the HBS900 was great.  I believe the HBS730 are
also this
collar design, but the wires don't retract.

Chip, I agree this is a pretty good product. It does keep your earbuds
readily available, too.



The problem I have is the buds are the type that isolate you from
outside.
You can not push them in quite so far, but then you lose most of the
quality.



I would really like to find tips that deliver the good sound, but do not
block out all outside sounds. If you or anyone knows of anything, it
will be
most appreciated. I actually did try attaching tips from Bose MIE, but
they
have a proprietary fit to the earbud which I could not get to stay 
on the

LG. Too bad because they are the best bud tips I have ever used.
Unfortunately, the MIE are wired.

2016-03-24 Thread Christina C.

Joney,

What do you remember about it? Was it a four finger swipe and did Tim Cook say 
that it only works on the 6S or 6S plus?  I know a few sighted users of the 
iPhone and one of their biggest gripes is not having a way to move from one 
open app to another very quickly other than the back button which only shows up 
under certain circumstances. It seems to me that more people would be talking 
about this new iOS feature if they could actually quickly swipe back and forth 
between open apps.  Confusing :)

At this moment I use my iphone 5S 64 GB with great satisfaction. 
What I am still waiting for is to hear any comments or reviews about the

Hi. Cook did not say anything about the swipe a gesture during the

IPhone Calendar Again

2016-03-24 Thread Fazil

Hi, list.

I have added my appointment detail to Iphone calendar but could not find the
ok button or done button or finish button. Cancil-button, however, is still
there, am I doing something wrong?

I picked up day, time, location and the name of the appointment but there's
no done button.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: Mega discovery in 9.3


No, it works fine on my 5s and my iPod Touch 6th generation.
Some people just have a hard time doing the 4 finger swipe.
And, you have to be in an app and have more than one running for it to work.
It won't work from the home screen.

Re: IPhone Calendar Again

Hi Fazil,

There should be an Add button in the upper right corner of your screen when you 
are creating an appointment. I just opened the Add Appointment screen, and 
that's where it is on my phone. In case it matters, my phone is in portrait 
orientation.

Best,
Anna

Re: Offline dictation in 9.3

2016-03-24 Thread Jonathan Mosen

I think the thing people are missing here is that it doesn't work in all 
markets. It's not available where I am in New Zealand, but based oN David 
Woodbridge's podcast, he has it in Australia. It's certainly available in the 
US. So if dictation doesn't work for you when you turn Airplane mode on, you 
may not be in a supported country for this feature.

 That is interesting. This was in a Mac World article.
 You checked in Settings, General, Keyboard?
 Very odd that they would be that specific and it not be there.
 Did you double tap on dictation?

Re: audio ducking, a possible bug fix and maybe a new feature?

2016-03-24 Thread Regina Alvarado

Richard and all, maybe I am the only one who does not know this, but what does 
audio ducking do? Should it be on or off? Just curious. I noticed that 
sometimes in videos that it says to turn it off. I am just a bit confused about 
what it is and what it supposed to do.

Thanks to the question about Audio Ducking,  I did some digging in settings and 
discovered what I think is a bug fix and possibly a new setting, at least new 
to me.
BTW, the only way to adjust audio ducking is by putting it on the rotor. 
First, the bug fix. Before 9.3, Siri would never work through my Apple 
Airpods/earphones.
I tried using Siri to get to the VoiceOver settings, forgetting that Siri 
hadn't worked when using my earphones; and wala, Siri worked just fine.
Now, the new feature to me at least.
In the Accessibility settings, there is a keyboard setting that is different 
than the regular keyboard setting under General. In the accessibility keyboard, 
the first item is "Key Repeat." This defaults to on. Double tap it and you find 
that it enables holding down a key to have it repeat and you can set how long 
you hold the key before it repeats, etc.
Or, you can turn it off.
I had not seen this setting before.

Hi,

 

I had the same problem. I tried again putting only the title of my post in the 
first edit box as you flick right and the body of my post in the second text 
box. This time it worked. It really is not clear as to how you have to do it. 
What prompted me to try this is because it told me it couldn’t be posted 
because my title was too long.

Well, I tried.

After writing a lengthy note using MBraille in the suggest a feature section of 
the Outlook app, it couldn't post my message.

I also tried to reply to this message from the Outlook app, but I'm not seeing 
the reply.

I discovered that you can edit your emails if you use MBraille when composing.

The head of Microsoft Accessibility recently met with my staff at work, so I 
will write him directly and encourage my staff to as well.

This is really stupid that we can't use the app without leaving all our typos.

Hi Mary and others,

 

In connection with the discussion of the bug in the native mail app when 
replying to a thread, lend your voice to those of us who write to Microsoft 
asking them to fix an issue in Outlook which doesn’t allow Voiceover users to 
review/edit what they have written in the email body. If this were fixed, 
Outlook would be an excellent alternative to the native mail app and in my 
opinion it gives any other mail app whether accessible or not a run for its 
money.

 

The problem is that if you write text in the message body field, Voiceover will 
read the entire text, but it only clicks when you try to navigate by 
characters, words or lines. As far as I can tell this is pretty much the only 
problem with Outlook, otherwise it is a very excellent mail app with way more 
features than the native mail app and it gets excellent reviews. Here is what 
it says in the app description:

 

“The best email app for the iPhone.” - The Verge

 

Meet Outlook for iOS, the app that helps millions of users connect all their 
email accounts, calendars and files in one convenient spot. Newly redesigned, 
Outlook for iOS lets you do more from one powerful inbox.

 

See what matters most first with the Focused inbox that keeps the important 
messages on top. Switch between your emails and calendar to schedule your next 
meeting or share your availability with just a few taps. Or grab a document 
from your Files list and attach it to an email seamlessly.

 

With everything you need only a tap away, managing your busy days is now easier 
than ever.

 

Outlook for iOS works with Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, Outlook.com 
  (including Hotmail and MSN), Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and 
iCloud.

Outlook also connects to OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive & Box so you 
can attach any file to an email without having to download it first to your 
mobile device.

You can now protect your inbox with Touch ID and get the privacy you deserve. 
Keep your messages away from prying eyes by requiring your fingerprint or 
device passcode in order to access your Outlook account. To enable Touch ID, 
take a look at the app Settings under Preferences. (iOS 9 users) Your inbox – 
and dare we say it, the world – is now at your fingertips.

 

Anybody who wants to contact Microsoft and ask to have the bug fixed which 
prevents Voiceover users from reviewing/editing text in the email body 
character by character, word by word, line by line or by using cut, copy and 
paste, please install the Outlook app, add a mail account and then go to 
Settings (the bottom right tab), then tap on the first button at the top of the 
screen called “Help and Support”. Use the “Suggest a Feature” option instead of 
“Contact Support”. The reason for this becomes clear in the below thread. I had 
sent in a message using contact support and received a reply in about 13 
minutes (impressive). This by the way is all fully accessible. Here is my 
message and the reply:

 

Sieghard, 12-Mar-2016 04:38

I am a blind user of an iPhone and I have previously sent in this feedback. I 
am really wondering when your development team is going to take the time to 
make the outlook app usable for Voiceover users. Microsoft has shown great 
commitment to excess ability with many other apps, and while the outlook app is 
fully accessible for reading emails it is impossible to compose emails. At this 
point it is not possible to type some text and then review or change it because 
Voiceover does not read back any text that has been written in the message 
body. This is effectively a deal-breaker. I would be happy to discuss further

Re: Mega discovery in 9.3


For those who are having trouble with the four finger swipe, try this.
Make sure you have at least two apps open and are in one of those apps.
Lay the phone on the table and turn it in landscape orientation with a long 
side toward you.
Place four fingers on the edge of the screen away from you and swipe toward 
yourself lifting your fingers off the display after just a short distance.
If you don't switch apps, try it again in the opposite direction by either 
turning the phone around, or starting on the edge of the screen nearest you.

I have tried to update using I Tunes twice with no success. I get into I
Tunes and see the I Phone and start a download which it says it will instal
once it has finished downloading. That never happens though hours later when
I return home I no longer have the message that the update is downloading.
All is exactly as before -it reads the old version number and on the i phone
itself, it says one  update is available. I get no other prompting. 
What am I missing. Should I just do this through I Cloud?
Also, how do I get to I Tune Preferences? Through Properties or an
Advanced Tab which I don't know how to get to in Windows 8.1 on the desktop
computer I have I Tunes

An app for news from Associated press

2016-03-24 Thread Olga Koeva

Hi all!
  Does anybody know if there is an accessible app in order to read news from 
the company Associated press? If so, is it free of charge? 
  I thank you in advance.
  Best regards, Olya

RE: updating through I Tunes

2016-03-24 Thread deidre muccio

I am now updating from settings on the phone. It will take many hours. btw, the 
download button in settings on the update page was not read by voice over. I 
had to take a picture and send it to someone at accessibility to discover it 
was indeed there down at the bottom.
I thought the merits of updating through I Tunes were sung when I first 
got my phone a year ago, but I've never succeeded in doing it that way. I 
backup using I Tunes and don't even have my I Cloud drive on for backups.

Hello and sorry for the cross posting but i figured that if nobody on one list 
knows this, maybe someone on the other one does, anyway here’s the problem.
I have an Aftershokz Bluez 2S and i am trying to get the microphone in it to 
work, that is, it works, only apparently not so good. A friend of mine who also 
has the Bluez 2S has his microphone working very well.
So either my head’s too big for the headset or i am doing something wrong, 
though i can for the life of me not figure out what i do wrong. People i have 
tested the headset on say they here me as from a long distance.
What can be the problem here?

Re: Mega discovery in 9.3

2016-03-24 Thread Wayne Merritt

What I do is when my phone is in portrait orientation, I put 4 fingers
on the screen vertically and then swipe to the right or left. This has
worked for me every time so far, that is when I remember that I'm
doing a 4 finger and not a 3 finger swipe, grin. I have noticed a
small delay between when I do the swipe and when the apps change. I
have also noticed that unlike in the app switcher, the order of the
apps does not change. So if you have clock, phone, calendar, and then
BARD Mobile from left to right, if you go from BARD Mobile to the
calendar, those apps stay in the same position. This is different from
the app switcher since once you double tap an app, it is transposed or
switches places with whatever the app to the left of the home screen
was.

An Unfortunate Development in 9.3 Music Player

2016-03-24 Thread Arnold Schmidt

Before 9.3, if I wanted to change the volume in the music player, I discovered 
a very useful feature that no longer works.  I am aware that I can one-finger 
swipe up or down to adjust it, after it says adjustable, which changes it by 10 
percent.  I can use the combination of one-finger swiping, and the volume 
buttons, to get close to where I want.  This still works in 9.3.  In the 
earlier versions, I discovered that if I double tapped and held on the volume 
icon immediately after it said adjustable, I could slowly roll my finger right 
or left and adjust it, if I did it carefully enough, by single digit 
percentages, occasionally by as little as one percent.  I very quickly could 
adjust it by 3 or 4 percent, which is usually all I wanted.  This no longer 
works, I miss it.

Re: An Unfortunate Development in 9.3 Music Player

Hi. That feature is still there, it just works on the lock screen only. I agree 
it should work within the music app, but at least on the lock screen is 
something. Maybe the fact that it doesn't work in the music app is a bug which 
will be fixed in another version of iOS.

Trouble with 9.3 activating iPhone

2016-03-24 Thread Vicki Ratcliffe

 Last night I installed 9.3 on the phone which is the 5 and not the 5S.  
The update went through but when activating the phone, after entering the apple 
ID and password, I received the message: try again. Your iPhone could not be 
activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Try 
connecting your phone to iTunes to activate it or wait for a couple minutes.  
If this problem persists contact Apple for support.

 I called Apple this morning and the person thought that the password might 
need to be reset and I changed it and tried to activate the phone via iTunes.  
I then called later and was told to sign in to iCloud, click on the device and 
remove it from the account and to then activate the phone.  

 I then tried this and was asked for my carrier which I selected and the 
phone will still not activate.

 This morning I went to the web and read that some older devices such as 
older iPads and phones are having issues to be activated with 9.3   Apple 
confirmed this so now I don’t have a phone to use.

 I’ve never had a problem to activate this phone at all and when calling 
Apple a few minutes ago heard that there is an extended wait time for support.

 can any of you give advice and any suggestion would be appreciated.  If 
you even wish to contact me off the list, the email is vicki.ratcli...@gmail.com


 Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Trouble with 9.3 activating iPhone

This may not help much, but if you have an Apple Store in your area
then you might want to make a trip there and get someone to look at
it. I know not everyone lives close to one but it can be a great
resource in times like this.

Subject: best car stereo iphone 5s

Hi, I am in search of a nice car stereo that has Bluetooth 4.0 or later with 
carkit that a blind person can use. Right now I have a kenwood in my truck, but 
that can only handle phone calls and not the full car kit experience.  I had a 
friend buy one from walmart and when connected I can hear everything on my 
phone including voice over speech. This does have a touch screen, but does have 
a remote so I'd be able to use the other features of the stereo via its remote 
when iphone is not connected.

I'd like to get one for my truck, does anyone have any suggestions or things I 
should be looking for when making this sort of purchase?

Thank you.

Re: Offline dictation in 9.3

2016-03-24 Thread Mary Otten

And you know that how? Maybe it needs a 64-bit processor. Or maybe you are 
right. But I always find it interesting when people say that this or that 
device should be able to handle this or that task. How can they possibly know?

Is the ESPN fantasy baseball app accessible?

2016-03-24 Thread Dane

Howdy all,
Just wondering if anyone has tried the ESPN fantasy baseball app, or the 
regular ESPN app for that matter? I would have to upgrade my version of IOS to 
find out, and I'm using a 4s currently. Thanks for any responses.

Re: Offline dictation in 9.3

Hi. I agree, I hate when people say so in such device should be able to handle 
something, when there's obviously a discrepancy between 32-bit and 64-bit 
devices. I tested off-line dictation on an iPad air two, and it wasn't 
available, which obviously means it needs the 64-bit processor, or the M9 
coprocessor in the 6S, 6S plus or iPad Pro.

Re: Offline dictation in 9.3

Sorry, I meant to say that the reason it would most likely wasn't available on 
the iPad air two is having to do with the M9 coprocessor in the success and 6S 
plus. So having a 64-bit capable device doesn't really make a difference.

Email notifications

2016-03-24 Thread Tom Cramer

Hello there,

I hope someone can help me with a question regarding email notifications.
I am involved with a few somewhat important email threads or
conversations where some of those messages are time sensitive.  A
sighted friend has a phone (don't think it's an iPhone) that notifies
him whenever he gets emails even if he's not in the email app.  Can
that be done on the iPhone without always having to go into the mail
app?  Of course, after five minutes, my iPhone goes to the lock
screen, so I don't know if an email notification can override that.

Just so you know what I've done.  I went to settings and then
notifications and then mail.  I chose the the particular email account
(because I have three different accounts on my phone) and tried
getting it to notify me that way.  It does work, but in order for me
to get the notifications, I have to open my email app anyway.
If this is the only way I can do it, then so be it, but I really
thought there was a way of getting notified any time I got new email
messages, similar to how I'm notified when I get a text or voicemail
without having to be in those apps.
If anyone can give me some good steps for this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks a lot!

I know that if you go to the email and inside the email where the headers are 
you can have it notify you and that puts it on the lock screen.  Maybe someone 
can be more specific on the steps cause I haven’t done it in a while.

RE: Offline dictation in 9.3

Well I have other phones with less power that can do it just find, they just 
are not ios. So I'd bet the 5 would be able to do it via it has better specs 
then the other phones. No other reason then that.

Re: Email notifications


What you may won't to do is turn on Push notifications.
This may effect battery life.
Go into settings, Mail, Contacts, and Calendar,
In the top half of the screen is the mail settings area.
Flick through until you find Fetch data.
Double tap on that.
Then, the first item on the next screen is Push Notification. Double tap so it 
is on.
Then, if you have more than one email account you can set the fetch or push 
schedule for each account.
Or go down to the fetch schedule and set it to 15 minutes, 30, or 1 hour rather 
than the default of Manual.
Then, whether the mail app you will hear the notification sound for mail.
HTH,
Richard

Hi, I am in search of a nice car stereo that has Bluetooth 4.0 or later with 
carkit that a blind person can use. Right now I have a kenwood in my truck, but 
that can only handle phone calls and not the full car kit experience.  I had a 
friend buy one from walmart and when connected I can hear everything on my 
phone including voice over speech. This does have a touch screen, but does have 
a remote so I'd be able to use the other features of the stereo via its remote 
when iphone is not connected.

I'd like to get one for my truck, does anyone have any suggestions or things I 
should be looking for when making this sort of purchase?

Thank you.

RE: updating through I Tunes

After you click the download button with your phone connected through iTunes, 
there are a couple of more screens- one has a "next button" and the second has 
an "agree button". You can then tab to the activity popover button to monitor 
the progress. In order for the values to change, I tab forward once and then 
tab back to see the new reading. When the download is complete it will say 
'done'. I always download first, then tab to the update button. You can tab a 
few times to land in a field which will tell you of the progress of the 
process. When this is through, the phone will shut down, then come back up with 
the setup screen. HTH

RE: Trouble with 9.3 activating iPhone

Same thing happened here with a 5c. The dialog said I could do it through 
iTunes, so I unplugged/replugged the phone to get iTunes to focus on the phone. 
Immediately a dialog came up on the PC requesting ID and password. I put it in

Subject: Trouble with 9.3 activating iPhone

 Last night I installed 9.3 on the phone which is the 5 and not the 5S.  
The update went through but when activating the phone, after entering the apple 
ID and password, I received the message: try again. Your iPhone could not be 
activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Try 
connecting your phone to iTunes to activate it or wait for a couple minutes.  
If this problem persists contact Apple for support.

 I called Apple this morning and the person thought that the password might 
need to be reset and I changed it and tried to activate the phone via iTunes.  
I then called later and was told to sign in to iCloud, click on the device and 
remove it from the account and to then activate the phone.  

 I then tried this and was asked for my carrier which I selected and the 
phone will still not activate.

 This morning I went to the web and read that some older devices such as 
older iPads and phones are having issues to be activated with 9.3   Apple 
confirmed this so now I don’t have a phone to use.

 I’ve never had a problem to activate this phone at all and when calling 
Apple a few minutes ago heard that there is an extended wait time for support.

 can any of you give advice and any suggestion would be appreciated.  If 
you even wish to contact me off the list, the email is vicki.ratcli...@gmail.com


 Thanks in advance for your help.

RE: Offline dictation in 9.3

A blurb says " No longer need to be on 4g or Wi-Fi to use voice dictation: can 
be offline with no internet connection.

Correction: in the demo I say it just works automatically.  However, if your 
language supports offline voice dictation you may need to turn it on in 
Settings,
General, Keyboard, Dictation on/off toggle.  I don't' know why, but my setting 
was on by default which according to some blogs will be turned off by default."

Hi Richard,

I just went through all of the settings in the 6S plus, and found no reference

I just googled offline dictation in ios, and everything I read said it was only 
available in the 6s or 6s plus models and that it is not enabled by default. 
You have to go into the Settings, General, Keyboard, and download the offline 
dictation files and that is only available for English keyboards.
So, I for one will never have access to it since I have no need to spend a lot 
of money on a 6s while my 5s is working just fine.
And, I prefer the size of the 5s, so when I need to get a new phone one day, 
the iPhone SE or whatever it is called by then, will be my choice. Who knows, 
maybe that feature is available in the SE since it has most of the 6s 
components?

Subject: Trouble with 9.3 activating iPhone

Last night I installed 9.3 on the phone which is the 5 and not the 5S. 
The update went through but when activating the phone, after entering the 
apple ID and password, I received the message: try again. Your iPhone could 
not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. 
Try connecting your phone to iTunes to activate it or wait for a couple 
minutes.  If this problem persists contact Apple for support.


I called Apple this morning and the person thought that the password 
might need to be reset and I changed it and tried to activate the phone via 
iTunes.  I then called later and was told to sign in to iCloud, click on the 
device and remove it from the account and to then activate the phone.


I then tried this and was asked for my carrier which I selected and the 
phone will still not activate.


This morning I went to the web and read that some older devices such as 
older iPads and phones are having issues to be activated with 9.3   Apple 
confirmed this so now I don’t have a phone to use.


I’ve never had a problem to activate this phone at all and when calling 
Apple a few minutes ago heard that there is an extended wait time for 
support.


can any of you give advice and any suggestion would be appreciated.  If 
you even wish to contact me off the list, the email is

Re: Email notifications

2016-03-24 Thread Feliciano Godoy

Hi, what you can do is go into your iPhone settings followed by mail contacts 
and calendars. Make sure that your fetch settings are set to push. That way you 
can receive the emails onto the app when they reach the server. Once you axis 
that button, you have the option to receive them manually etc. once he said 
that, you want to access your iPhone settings followed by notifications. There 
you want to locate mail. You want to go to the setting on how you want to be 
alerted for email. You have the options to choose from None,  banner and 
interrupting alerts. If you want to be interrupted, you want to select the 
interrupt option. Let me know how that goes, good luck.

Hi,

Just double tap on the element that is spoken in a different language.
I know it sounds weird but I promiss you that doing this will in
actual fact make the phone speak in English.

Re: Email notifications

2016-03-24 Thread Chris Chaffin

I would recommend using the VIP mailbox available in the mail app.  The VIP 
allows you to add people that you will receive messages from that you do not 
want to miss.
You can also turn on notifications for your VIP mailbox, so it has a particular 
sound when you get a message from one of the people you have assigned to your 
VIP mailbox, and you will also get a notification on your lock screen as well 
as in the notification screen.  To me, this is what you are looking for.

To add someone to the VIP mailbox, you can do it one of two ways:
First, in a message you received from that person, double tap on their name at 
the top of the screen.  On that screen just tap add to VIP, and they will 
automatically be added to your VIP list.

The second way:
Open the mail app, swipe until you hear VIP and double tap.
Now, swipe until you hear Add to VIP.
This will bring up your contacts.  Just swipe to the person you want to add and 
double tap their name.
It will then add them to your VIP list and put you back in the VIP folder in 
the mail app.

Now also, in VIP in the mail app, you can just double tap on VIP alerts to 
bring up the notification screen for VIP.  This is where you would change the 
sound if you want, plus adjust any of the other notification settings.

I hope this information has been helpful.

Re: iphone se

2016-03-24 Thread Brett

Its still 12 on the back facing camera, so no change there. However, the 
front facing camera goes down from a 5 MP to either 1.5 or 1.2 MP. Since 
its only the front facing camera its not a big deal to me. I would just 
prefer the smaller formfactor. Bring on the 31st! :-)


Cheers,
Brett.

Hi Kevin,

It is new and something to learn/get used to. I am not sure what you 
mean by "it's not discoverable", but I find it easy to check if 3D 
Touch options are available and have gotten quite comfortable using 
it in certain situations. For example, using it with the App Store 
app if I want to search for an app. Instead of double tapping on the 
app, then double tapping on the search tab at the bottom and then 
finding the search edit field at the top left and double tapping on 
it to put focus in it and bring up the keyboard, I just press down 
on the App Store icon on the home screen, do a quick swipe right 
(that puts me on the "Search" option in the menu, then I do a quick 
double tap and bingo, focus is already in the search box with the 
keyboard on the screen waiting for me to type my search term.
Another example is the Phone app. If I want to call my wife, my 
office or my manager on his mobile, I just press down on the phone 
app, swipe a couple of times and double tap on one of the 3 names 
that are part of the context menu (they are the first 3 in your 
Favorites list). Another app with useful functions in the context 
menu is the Camera app.


These are just a few examples, I'm sure in time Apple will figure 
out more ways to make this useful and as far as it being natural or 
not probably depends on you. Eventually everything becomes muscle 
memory and we have to keep in mind that 3D Touch for sighted people 
has many more applications which we as blind users may not be able 
to use.

Sieghard

3D touch isn't that useful. It's not discoverable and there is no

it's not really natural, and most of the time: i end up just 
interacting with it as if 3D touch were not even present...It ends 
up being faster.

Exactly, I am sure iFixIt will have all the hidden secrets out in no

4 out there and for these customers this will be a very nice upgrade 
as a free phone on contract or for what I consider not an
unreasonable price unlocked. I remember somebody recently advertised 
a used 5S on the list in the UK and I think he was asking 300
Pounds, probably not too realistic given the price of the iPhone SE. 
I also still have my 5S 64 Gb which I was planning to sell,

probably should have done so before this came out.

RE: Still can't Log in to Audible

2016-03-24 Thread Sieghard Weitzel

Hi Mark,

I don't think Kathy's problem is access, it is the fact that she can't get into 
edit mode at all when she wants to log in in the app. I spoke to her on the 
phone and she can easily get into the email field and type her email address, 
but when she double taps on the password field or even when she uses the 
"Forward" button when she is in the email field nothing happens, Voiceover 
won't go into edit mode, no keyboard comes up and she simply can't enter her 
password. I have logged out from Audible in the app and had no problems getting 
to the password field using either method, I have an iPhone 6S Plus and Kathy 
has a 6 Plus. I think she'll just have to look for sighted help to see what 
might be going on here.

Regards,
Sieghard

I spoke with another tech support person at Audible today. I could hear 
voiceOver on the iPhone she was using.  While she could not reproduce my 
problem, she was not dismissive toward me.  We went through the drill of 
uninstalling the app, powering off the phone and rebooting it, and 
re-installing the app, despite having already done those things last week when 
I spoke with the first tech support rep.  I still can't log in. Once I have 
entered my email address, when I attempt to open the password field, I hear a 
sort of wup-wup noise. The keyboard disappears. 
I see "forgot password?" and "Need Help?" and I don't remember if there's 
anything else.  Somehow, the rep had me get to a place where I could send a bug 
report that apparently gives them some specifics about my phone.  I would like 
to get back to that home screen to try Sieghard's suggestion about logging out, 
but I don't remember how the rep got me to that if I couldn't log in.  I'm 
about ready to remove the app from my phone permanently.

Thanks to the question about Audio Ducking,  I did some digging in

BTW, the only way to adjust audio ducking is by putting it on the rotor.
First, the bug fix. Before 9.3, Siri would never work through my Apple
Airpods/earphones.
I tried using Siri to get to the VoiceOver settings, forgetting that
Siri hadn't worked when using my earphones; and wala, Siri worked just fine.
Now, the new feature to me at least.
In the Accessibility settings, there is a keyboard setting that is
different than the regular keyboard setting under General. In the
accessibility keyboard, the first item is "Key Repeat." This defaults to
on. Double tap it and you find that it enables holding down a key to
have it repeat and you can set how long you hold the key before it
repeats, etc.
Or, you can turn it off.
I had not seen this setting before.

RE: Email notifications

2016-03-24 Thread Sieghard Weitzel

Hi Tom,

Richard has the right idea, the only way you get mails immediately even if the 
iPhone is locked is if Push is enabled. However, as far as I know Push doesn't 
work with gmail accounts or maybe it does, but you have to use the gmail app. I 
know it definitely works with Exchange and Exchange Active Sync 
(Outlook/Hotmail) because I sometimes send myself an email from my work account 
on the PC and it usually only takes 2 or 3 seconds before my iPhone dings 
letting me know there is a new mail message. This is with my iPhone locked and 
I have set a different notification sound for each account and also for VIP so 
I know what mail comes in. If you want the mail message to be read on the lock 
screen you just have to turn on "Show on lock screen".
Adding somebody as a VIP won't make a difference if your mail only comes in 
every 15 or 30 minutes, it's the Push setting that is important.

Sieghard

Double tap on that.
Then, the first item on the next screen is Push Notification. Double tap so it 
is on.
Then, if you have more than one email account you can set the fetch or push 
schedule for each account.
Or go down to the fetch schedule and set it to 15 minutes, 30, or 1 hour rather 
than the default of Manual.
Then, whether the mail app you will hear the notification sound for mail.
HTH,
Richard
