Hey Siri feature on Apple watch using latest watch OS and VoiceOver

[Shai]

Hello,
On the Apple Watch with the latest OS and VoiceOver, I am noticing
that the Hey Siri feature works intermittently. I have attempted to
power the watch off and on again and also to restart my phone but I am
still noticing the same behavior. Holding down on the crown until the
watch vibrates for Siri works as expected. Has anyone noticed this and
found a work around?
Thank you in advance for any responses

RE: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Larry,

As Ed said, we all have different needs and expectations, from what you 
describe Blindsquare does a better job in these open areas, but for “normal” 
navigation along streets and in situations where you may want turn-by-turn 
directions the SeeingEye app does a very good job. Can you get good results 
with Blindsquare and another app like Apple Maps or Google Maps? Yes, probably, 
but that is where choice is a nice thing.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi Ed.  I turned on my route and started walking with the screen locked and got 
no info.  The use I make of a gps app is to navigate in open areas off the 
street map.  Our apartment complex is huge with lots of things I need like the 
dumpster, entrances and mailboxes in open areas in big parking lots.  After 
setting up breadcrumbs in blindsquare and setting my alert distance properly, 
blindsquare talks me to any point I want to arrive at, and does especially well 
when I tell it to track to it.  I can query the app from the controller of my 
aftershokz headset clipped to my shirt pocket.  If I can’t get seeing eye to do 
this, it is of no use to me.

Hello Larry,

I assume that your sounds are not muted. I believe if the sounds on the phone 
are muted. I.e. the switch on the side of the phone is switched to the mute 
option the internal voice will not work on the Seeing Eye app. If all of the 
settings are on for background app usage it should be working…

I am not sure what could be going wrong.

Ed, background refresh was on in both the app and in the phone settings and 
still no go.  I initiated a route I had made to my dumpster and started it and 
then locked my phone.  I got no information at all when walking it.
The same thing happened when driving down the street.  With the phone unlocked 
seeing eye did give me passing streets and intersections but nothing when the 
phone was locked.  Am I missing something.  Blindsquare reports items 
beautifully with the screen locked.

Hello,

It uses the Google maps. It might have the Canada maps as it does not store 
maps off line. It just gets it’s maps info from google or even the Open Street 
Maps Project. It all depends on which one you have selected in the settings.

I hope that this helps.

RE: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Brian,

The Seeing Eye app works just fine in Canada, maps are accessed via data, at 
this point there is no way to download maps. I also like the app quite a lot, 
but of course I also don’t have too use it all that much, mostly just when I am 
in Vancouver. One thing I like about Apple Maps is that I can use SIRI to tell 
the app that I want a route to a certain address or point of interest and most 
of the time that works very well. The one thing where the Seeing Eye app still 
has all other apps beat is with intersection detail. I just like it that the 
app tells me that I am at an intersection even if it is a T intersection with 
the cross street coming out across from where I might be walking. Without the 
information that it is a 3-way intersection I might wonder where on earth that 
cross street is.

Sieghard

I tried Seeing Eye GPS a while back, and while I really did like the

BlindSquare may be a better fit for me. I mostly need something that will tell 
me my nearest intersection, like Sendero Lookaround used to do before it broke. 
So, my question is, I know BlindSquare can do what I want, but does it do it 
automatically, or can I do something to make it happen? I'd rather have the 
feature be a manual control, like in Sendero Lookaround.

with Navagon and it has been a treat. I was told that I can virtually walk

RE: Battery issue

[Sieghard Weitzel]

You might want to try and calibrate your battery. Charge it over night, then 
use the iPhone until the battery gets so low that the phone shuts off by 
itself. Then charge again, preferable over time for at least for 3-4 hours. 
Repeat once more and drain completely, then charge again and see if that fixes 
the issue.

RE: Update to my iPhone 5S is a mess

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Eva,

Not sure what else I can do to help, Default Dialect is there at the very top, 
it's the very first button after the top row which contains the "Voiceover, 
Back" button at the very top left (where if you try to swipe left you just get 
the bonk noise that indicates it's as far as you can go), the "Speech" heading 
in the middle and the "Edit" button at the top right. If you swipe right one 
more time from edit you will be on Default Dialect.

Hello Sieghard,

Thank you for your instructions.  I went to settings; general; 
accessibility; voiceover; speech; there I could not find default dialect to tap 
on it.  I am stuck there.  Can you help me complete the steps?  I must've 
missed something.  I would really like to go back to the Samantha enhanced.

One more problem I faced today.  I tried to make a call using siri.  She 
told me I don't know who you are.  Before this dreaded update, I used to be 
able to make calls using siri easily.
Thank you for your help

Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Voiceover > Speech and tap on 
Default Dialect.
Make sure you select "Samantha Enhanced" and not "Samantha Default". The 
default is the lower quality, compact voice. You can also try out SIRI Mal or 
SIRI Female and see how you like them.

Hello listers,

I just want to add that Samantha's voice in voiceover became  ugly in this 
new update.  It sounded more human in the previous update.  It sounds more 
computerized in the IOS 9.3.  Ugly!

ICloud Backups

It seems to me that I once read on the list that there is a way to delete some 
of the older backups from ICloud. I am getting warnings that I am running out 
of storage and I really don’t want to use ICloud Drive. So if I could get rid 
of some old backups, this should free up some space for me.
Thanks,

new SE and setting up reading?

I have my SE all set up and learning as I go, but I cannot figure out how to 
make VO read the messages as they come in like it does on my 5. 
When things are read it reads slower than I have Ciri set to read and there is 
no inflection whatsoever. it is so robotic it’s  driven me crazy in a very 
short period of time. ok, I was well on my way there, but still I would like 
some inflection when she is reading. when she reads me back what I have written 
there is also no inflection at that time.

Twitterrific on Watch

Hi, is anyone using Twitterrific on their Apple Watch?

I would need to pay for the push upgrades to take full advantage.  What I’m 
interested in is can I have a few select accounts I follow push through, then I 
can choose to like, retweet, or reply from the watch?  Is that how it works?  :)

Here is the page describing Twitterrific on the Watch.

Most recent upgrade: 9.3.1

[Jewel]

It is only 2 or 3 weeks since I upgraded to 9.3, but for the past week, Apple 
has been advising me that it will, if I wish, automatically upgrade my phone to 
9.3.1.
I have been ignoring its kind offer, but last night, I took the bull by the 
horns and told it to go ahead and download the upgrade.
It appears that I had nothing to fear for, as far as I can see, the only thing 
that I had to do in settings was to set up "Hey Siri.
Does anyone know what improvements/bug fixes .1 has made?

RE: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps

[Larry Lumpkin]

Hi Ed.  I turned on my route and started walking with the screen locked and got 
no info.  The use I make of a gps app is to navigate in open areas off the 
street map.  Our apartment complex is huge with lots of things I need like the 
dumpster, entrances and mailboxes in open areas in big parking lots.  After 
setting up breadcrumbs in blindsquare and setting my alert distance properly, 
blindsquare talks me to any point I want to arrive at, and does especially well 
when I tell it to track to it.  I can query the app from the controller of my 
aftershokz headset clipped to my shirt pocket.  If I can’t get seeing eye to do 
this, it is of no use to me.

Hello Larry,

 

I assume that your sounds are not muted. I believe if the sounds on the phone 
are muted. I.e. the switch on the side of the phone is switched to the mute 
option the internal voice will not work on the Seeing Eye app. If all of the 
settings are on for background app usage it should be working…

 

I am not sure what could be going wrong.

Ed, background refresh was on in both the app and in the phone settings and

The same thing happened when driving down the street.  With the phone unlocked 
seeing eye did give me passing streets and intersections but nothing when the 
phone was locked.  Am I missing something.  Blindsquare reports items 
beautifully with the screen locked.

Hello,

 

It uses the Google maps. It might have the Canada maps as it does not store 
maps off line. It just gets it’s maps info from google or even the Open Street 
Maps Project. It all depends on which one you have selected in the settings.

 

I hope that this helps.

Question about texting a group

Hello,

I know that one can text several people at once using the iphone.  At
least, what I've done is to go to Compost and then in the edit field,
I start typing in people's names.  After a while, little groups begin
to appear, so I imagine it begins remembering things.  What I'd like
to do is to text a group without them all knowing who is receiving the
text.  I guess it would be like blind carbon copying or something.  Is
there a way to do this?  It would be helpful.
Thanks for your collective knowledge.

Re: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps

[Mike Arrigo]

Seeing eye does not store maps off line. Blindsquare is much more 
automatic, seeing eye will announce the streets when you get to them, 
but blindsquare provides more information automatically and I think 
it's better than seeing eye at this point.

Original message:
well, perhaps I should try seeing eye gps. not sure if it even has maps 
for Canada but easy enough to find out. does it store maps off line? 
would prefer not as I have a rather large data bucket but it might be 
handy. With blind square, the announcement stuff is pretty automatic. I 
mostly use it when going somewhere new to keep me clued in on where I 
am. Typically, for route planning, I use google maps to get turn by 
turn or work out transit things in cities where I have never been.
I have navigon but last time I tried, I couldn't work out how to get 
maps properly.

that I can virtually walk through an area to see what is around there. 
As soon as I figure out how to do it I'm going to practice practice

   One more problem I faced today.  I tried to make a call using siri.  She 
told me I don't know who you are.  Before this dreaded update, I used to be 
able to make calls using siri easily.

Thank you for your help

Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Voiceover > Speech and tap on 
Default Dialect.
Make sure you select "Samantha Enhanced" and not "Samantha Default". The 
default is the lower quality, compact voice. You can also try out SIRI Mal 
or SIRI Female and see how you like them.

Hello listers,

   I just want to add that Samantha's voice in voiceover became  ugly in 
this new update.  It sounded more human in the previous update.  It sounds 
more computerized in the IOS 9.3.  Ugly!

  Hello!
  I would like to ask a question to the Scandinavians in this list. Does 
anybody know accessible apps where you can read news in Norwegian and Danish? I 
have studied these languages and would like to improve them. I would be glad if 
somebody can recommend me something. Otherwise I will forget the languages if I 
don't improve them. You can write me via PM in Danish or Norwegian. I will read 
it with a great pleasure!
  Thanks in advance.

RE: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps

[M. Taylor]

I just wanted to say that I concur with Ed in that I am a huge fan of Seeing 
Eye GPS.  

While I am so grateful to the developer of Blind Square, for such a marvelously 
comprehensive app, I find that, for day-to-day navigation on busses and in 
taxis, etc, I use Seeing Eye more often.

Hello,

It uses the Google maps. It might have the Canada maps as it does not store 
maps off line. It just gets it’s maps info from google or even the Open Street 
Maps Project. It all depends on which one you have selected in the settings.

I hope that this helps.

The split tap method  didn’t work.  Sorry.

Heck, I even tried turning Voiceover off, and doing it by position.  Not sure

but nothing happened for me.

Perhaps someone else could try it, and see if something happens on their phone.

How many times have you seen posts on tech sites about “hidden iPhone features” 
and thought to yourself, these tricks aren’t really hidden at all. We’ve even 
had a few articles here on BGR with tips that were indeed unknown to most 
users, but the savvy iOS device owners out there were undoubtedly familiar with 
at least a few of them.

Well, in this piece we’re going to tell you about 25 hidden features that are 
really, truly hidden. As in, you could look through your iPhone from now until

DON’T MISS: The math they don’t want you to see: iPhone carrier trade-ins are 
always a bad idea

In the past, many of the hidden tips we’ve seen on sites and even covered here 
are simply things that are buried in the Settings app in places people normally 
wouldn’t look. These are great things to know — plenty of people would make 
their camera flash blink with incoming messages if they knew that they could, 
for example — but they’re not really “hidden” or “secret,” per se.

Each of the tips that follow below, however, are completely hidden. There is no 
indication that these functions exist in iOS, and we guarantee that most users 
don’t know about them. In fact, we also guarantee that even the savviest iPhone 
owners among you will find at least one or two things you didn’t already know. 
In fact, ran this list past a friend who works at Apple and there were a few 
things that even he didn’t know.

Re: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps

[Richard Turner]

And, for the person who wondered about wether any GPS tells you the side of the 
street, Seeing Eye GPS does. For example, in Portland Oregon, where I am, we 
have lots of streets that eithemake t intersections or jog a ways from where 
they cross the intersecting street. So Seeing Eye might say, 33rd pl on the 
left, and then a little while later, 33rd pl on the right, etc.

Re: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps

[Ed Worrell]

Hello,

I found that the 4Sq option for POIs is much more accurate in finding things 
near you. The Google maps option isn’t always the closest option. Before you do 
a search. In the search screen there is an option to switch the POI source if 
you select the 4Sq option it seems to pull in closer options.

Thanks,

Re: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps

[Ed Worrell]

Hello,

It uses the Google maps. It might have the Canada maps as it does not store 
maps off line. It just gets it’s maps info from google or even the Open Street 
Maps Project. It all depends on which one you have selected in the settings.

I hope that this helps.

Hey Larry,

You have to make sure that the background refresh option is turned on in 
settings on your phone, and in the settings tab of the Seeing Eye App. It works 
very well on my phone.
I hope that this helps.

Blindsquare functions with the screen locked and I can’t seem to get that to 
happen in seeing eye.

Hey Guys,

 

I am on the opposite side of the coin. I find the Seeing Eye GPS app much more 
intuitive for my use. I really love the improvements to the app with the newest 
update. The tabs down at the bottom of the app screen are now all on one level, 
and for low vision users they have added some new text and interface color 
options. Just a note I am not low vision but my business partner loves the 
improvements to the low vision aspect of the app now. I have found the look 
around features of The Seeing Eye app to more than adequate. But once again 
different strokes for different folks.

 

Just thought I would throw my two sense into the conversation.

Re: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps

[Brian Moore]

well, perhaps I should try seeing eye gps.  not sure if it even has maps 
for Canada but easy enough to find out.  does it store maps off line? 
would prefer not as I have a rather large data bucket but it might be 
handy.  With blind square, the announcement stuff is pretty automatic. I 
mostly use it when going somewhere new to keep me clued in on where I 
am.  Typically, for route planning, I use google maps to get turn by 
turn or work out transit things in cities where I have never been.
I have navigon but last time I tried, I couldn't work out how to get 
maps properly.

Hey Guys,

I am on the opposite side of the coin. I find the Seeing Eye GPS app 
much more intuitive for my use. I really love the improvements to the 
app with the newest update. The tabs down at the bottom of the app 
screen are now all on one level, and for low vision users they have 
added some new text and interface color options. Just a note I am not 
low vision but my business partner loves the improvements to the low 
vision aspect of the app now. I have found the look around features 
of The Seeing Eye app to more than adequate. But once again different 
strokes for different folks.

Subject: Syncing Question from New iCloud Drive User

Hello List,

I just installed iCloud for Windows on my Windows 7 computer and have a 
question about syncing before I step in something and end up with duplicates on 
my iPhone 6.

I understand conceptually that with iCloud for Windows, items I have ticked 
such as Outlook contacts and calendars will be kept in sync between my computer 
and the Apple servers hosting the iCloud. I've always synced my contacts and 
calendars and music between my computer and my iPhone using iTunes and expect 
I'll continue to sync my music this way going forward. I just want to make sure 
before turning on contacts and calendars in my iPhone iCloud settings that 
doing this won't cause duplicates.

Can someone who has been using iCloud and iTunes give me a bit of an overview 
and assurance that I won't cause duplication on my phone by turning on iCloud 
contacts and calendars? I also assume the devices are smart enough not to 
duplicate items if I run a sync operation within iTunes. I'm just a bit nervous 
since syncing things to iCloud and having those same items checked to sync in 
iTunes in what I'll call a manual sync seems a bit counter-intuitive. Do those 
who use iCloud for syncing make sure the same things aren't marked for syncing 
in iTunes?

Thanks for any guidance you can offer.

Hi,

It's been a while but, if memory serves, you can perform a 3-finger swipe from 
right-to-left gesture, several times until the screen containing the Finish 
button appears.  If that does not work, then perform the single-finger 
pass-through gesture in order to scroll through the screens, again from right 
to left, until the Finish button is displayed.  Then, activate the Finish 
button.

Richard, I got your Alfred reference.

For those not familiar with Alfred, he was the butler on the 1960s, short-lived 
(only 3 seasons I believe), Batman series.

Choice of what voice to use is completely subjective.  I, for example, can't 
stand Eloquence, while Sieghard, and many, many others, would like to have it 
on the iPhone.
I generally stick to Samantha and the male British Siri voice.  (What can I 
say, I wish I could afford a British butler, grin,) so Siri will have to do.  
Though, he wouldn't let me call him Alfred.  (Only those of a certain age and 
TV viewing history will get that one.)

However, in Voice Dream Reader 4, I will sometimes use Alex, though I prefer 
Amy for the bulk of my reading.  I know Amy is not a VoiceOver voice, just 
using that as an example of wide differences in listening choices.

I think some voices appeal to some people just like certain music appeals to 
some and not others.

There is my two cents worth.

he doesn't sound so bad and my 6S Plus probably has the best sound of all the

the enhanced male and female SIRI voices again and I think if I were to use one

As is usually the case, I agree with Sieghard.  

On my Macs, I use Alex for the primary voice with Samantha enhanced for all 
notifications.  

In iOS, I am definitely a Samantha enhanced, man, with the pitch option 
disabled.  

On Zoomtext, by the way, I prefer ViaVoice which is about as close as one can 
get to Eloquence without having Eloquence, itself.  

Of course, in Jaws, I only use Eloquence.

On my Android devices, although there are some really nice voices, including 
Heather, which I used to prefer back in the old days of Windows Mobile, I now 
prefer and use the Google text-to-speech engine (female).  It is very clean and 
crisp-sounding. I believe Eloquence is available in Android but only in the 
MobileSpeak interface. 

Despite all of the advances in speech synthesis, were I given the choice, I 
would definitely use Eloquence for all my voices, especially in iOS.

Subject: Hidden Iphone features




How many times have you seen posts on tech sites about “hidden iPhone features” 
and thought to yourself, these tricks aren’t really hidden at all. We’ve even 
had a few articles here on BGR with tips that were indeed unknown to most 
users, but the savvy iOS device owners out there were undoubtedly familiar with 
at least a few of them.

Well, in this piece we’re going to tell you about 25 hidden features that are 
really, truly hidden. As in, you could look through your iPhone from now until 
the end of time and you wouldn’t find any of these tricks unless you know what 
you’re looking for.

DON’T MISS: The math they don’t want you to see: iPhone carrier trade-ins are 
always a bad idea

In the past, many of the hidden tips we’ve seen on sites and even covered here 
are simply things that are buried in the Settings app in places people normally 
wouldn’t look. These are great things to know — plenty of people would make 
their camera flash blink with incoming messages if they knew that they could, 
for example — but they’re not really “hidden” or “secret,” per se.

Each of the tips that follow below, however, are completely hidden. There is no 
indication that these functions exist in iOS, and we guarantee that most users 
don’t know about them. In fact, we also guarantee that even the savviest iPhone 
owners among you will find at least one or two things you didn’t already know. 
In fact, ran this list past a friend who works at Apple and there were a few 
things that even he didn’t know.

Enjoy.

Redial: In the Phone app, press the green call button on the keypad screen to 
make the last dialed number appear.

Clear cache: Make your iPhone run faster by clearing out the cache in several 
of Apple’s apps using a secret trick. In the App Store, Podcasts, Music, Game 
Center and Phone apps, tap on any single tab icon at the bottom of the screen 
10 times in a row.

Make TouchID work faster: Save the same fingerprint multiple times as different 
entries and TouchID will work much faster. This is especially useful on older 
phones like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s.

Spotlight conversions: Remember when we told you how easy conversions are in 
our post on Google search tricks? It’s even easier for iPhone users — just open 
Spotlight and type something like “20 euros in GBP,” and it will instantly 
perform the conversion.

Spotlight math: Want to do a quick math problem? No need to open the Calculator 
app, just pull down to open Spotlight and type it right there.

Delete numbers in the Calculator: Speaking of the Calculator, you can delete 
single digits when you tap the wrong number by swiping left or right on the

Re: Reorganizing the rotor is driving me absolutely insane!

I have noticed that even after removing audio ducking from the rotor
it does come back on occasion.

I tried Seeing Eye GPS a while back, and while I really did like the 
turn-by-turn directions, and especially the intersection analisous, I think 
BlindSquare may be a better fit for me. I mostly need something that will tell 
me my nearest intersection, like Sendero Lookaround used to do before it broke. 
So, my question is, I know BlindSquare can do what I want, but does it do it 
automatically, or can I do something to make it happen? I'd rather have the 
feature be a manual control, like in Sendero Lookaround.

Re: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps

[Ed Worrell]

Hey Guys,

I am on the opposite side of the coin. I find the Seeing Eye GPS app much more 
intuitive for my use. I really love the improvements to the app with the newest 
update. The tabs down at the bottom of the app screen are now all on one level, 
and for low vision users they have added some new text and interface color 
options. Just a note I am not low vision but my business partner loves the 
improvements to the low vision aspect of the app now. I have found the look 
around features of The Seeing Eye app to more than adequate. But once again 
different strokes for different folks.

Just thought I would throw my two sense into the conversation.

AppleWatch and app to track sleep

[Piotr Witek]

Hi folks,

I wonder which apps to controlling your sleep do you use.

Nowadays I check The Sleep Pulse 2. Before first use it looks like very 
nice. At the beginning I used the SleepTrack app but unfortunately it 
can count only the time between pressing start and stop button. Of 
course I would like to know something more about quality and real time 
of my sleep.


So, do you use similar apps? Maybe you can also recommend something?

Best regards,

Piotr

Hi Jennifer,

There's no need to turn off the braille display. You can probably enter all the 
characters from the display. If you want to use the keyboard, though, press 
Sh-Chord, which is Space with 1-4-6. This toggles between showing and hiding 
the onscreen keyboard.

RE: Voiceover voices

[Richard Turner]

Choice of what voice to use is completely subjective.  I, for example, can't 
stand Eloquence, while Sieghard, and many, many others, would like to have it 
on the iPhone.
I generally stick to Samantha and the male British Siri voice.  (What can I 
say, I wish I could afford a British butler, grin,) so Siri will have to do.  
Though, he wouldn't let me call him Alfred.  (Only those of a certain age and 
TV viewing history will get that one.)

However, in Voice Dream Reader 4, I will sometimes use Alex, though I prefer 
Amy for the bulk of my reading.  I know Amy is not a VoiceOver voice, just 
using that as an example of wide differences in listening choices.

I think some voices appeal to some people just like certain music appeals to 
some and not others.

There is my two cents worth.

Richard

Hi Marissa,

Just as Dave said, the replies here will be all over the place. Alex definitely 
has a following, I personally can't listen to him for an extended period of 
time. Interestingly enough when I listen to Podcasts where the author uses Alex 
he doesn't sound so bad and my 6S Plus probably has the best sound of all the 
iPhones, but I always come back to Samantha Enhanced. Just last night I tried 
the enhanced male and female SIRI voices again and I think if I were to use one 
I prefer the male one, but like I said, when everything is said and done 
Samantha Enhanced still sounds best to me. It's really too ad we can't have 
Eloquence on the iPhone, that would be so awesome!

I tried Seeing Eye GPS a while back, and while I really did like the 
turn-by-turn directions, and especially the intersection analisous, I think 
BlindSquare may be a better fit for me. I mostly need something that will tell 
me my nearest intersection, like Sendero Lookaround used to do before it broke. 
So, my question is, I know BlindSquare can do what I want, but does it do it 
automatically, or can I do something to make it happen? I'd rather have the 
feature be a manual control, like in Sendero Lookaround.

 

 

Thanks,

Ari

RE: Voiceover voices

[rajmund]

Hi,
OK, could someone check the US Enhanced female Siri, either on an 
iPhone 5S, and or an iPad air first generation, please?

I notice no lag whatsoever on my 6S Plus, I just tried it last night again and 
both SIRI male and female enhanced sounded just as responsive to me as 
Samanthas does.

Compact Samantha (I can't stand her any other way) Alex sometimes, and the

voices.  I used to really love compact Karen, but ever since iOS 8, she's 
sounded weird to me, which is why I switched to Samantha.

Hi Marissa,

Just as Dave said, the replies here will be all over the place. Alex definitely 
has a following, I personally can't listen to him for an extended period of 
time. Interestingly enough when I listen to Podcasts where the author uses Alex 
he doesn't sound so bad and my 6S Plus probably has the best sound of all the 
iPhones, but I always come back to Samantha Enhanced. Just last night I tried 
the enhanced male and female SIRI voices again and I think if I were to use one 
I prefer the male one, but like I said, when everything is said and done 
Samantha Enhanced still sounds best to me. It's really too ad we can't have 
Eloquence on the iPhone, that would be so awesome!

Sieghard

Re: Question for voice dream reader users who lost your folders after upgrade

[Nicola Sanders]

Hi,

You're right, now that I think about it, the files that I uploaded did indeed 
end up in the folder which had focus in Voice Dream. Now that I understand how 
it works, I think this is a nice feature: even if you forget which folder last 
had focus when you upload new material, when you open Voice Dream again, it 
should be easy to find it in the open folder, select it and move it to the 
desired location. I look forward to playing with this again later today, when I 
get home from work.

 So, if I know I'm downloading a fiction book, I open the fiction folder

Re: Hidden iPhone features

I typed 300/42 into the Spotlight search box and got the following as the first 
"top result,"
300/42 =, 7.1428571429 button

If you double tap on the result button you are taken into the calculator.
Frankly, it is easier to just use the calculator in my opinion.

Re: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps

[englishrider91]

I tried Seeing Eye GPS a while back, and while I really did like the 
turn-by-turn directions, and especially the intersection analisous, I think 
BlindSquare may be a better fit for me. I mostly need something that will tell 
me my nearest intersection, like Sendero Lookaround used to do before it broke. 
So, my question is, I know BlindSquare can do what I want, but does it do it 
automatically, or can I do something to make it happen? I'd rather have the 
feature be a manual control, like in Sendero Lookaround.


Thanks,
Ari

Bluetooth headset

[Robert Wright]

I know that everyone has their favorite and in most cases the concern has been 
for listening to audio. I am curious as to which headset has 
Been found to have the best quality during a phone call in a somewhat noisy 
environment. Example, while traveling in car or bus.

Set your rotor to "headings" it will help whether you are using the screen or 
keyboard. Also, at the bottom of the screen you may wish to lower the volume 
before starting the game, the sounds can be quite loud. The 'actions' heading 
is the main part of the game.

Re: head to head blindsquare and sendero seeing eye gps

[Robert Wright]

I tried Seeing eye because it was from the company that made my Sendero GPS on 
my voice note. I did like it because it was so similar with the turn by turns. 
Price wise, I  switched to BSQ and have been enjoying it ever since. I use it 
with Navagon and it has been a treat. I was told that I can virtually walk 
through an area to see what is around there. As soon as I figure out how to do 
it I'm going to practice practice practice. This was a feature I used 
frequently on my Sendero GPS.
