Re: VoiceOver Speaks Through The Earpiece

[Mohib Anwar Rafay]

I am also facing similar issue with seeri voice. Specially when I am
using Bluetooth headset, voiceover comes in Bluetooth headset, while
seeri is heard in earpeace. I don't know why.

Re: My first attempt to use Apple Pay, was: Apple Pay finally gets main stream support in Canada

Hi ED,

Not all credit card machines can take a tap of the card and, from what I was 
told, Apple pay works on the terminals where you can tap the card.

Hey, 

I tried this in Walgreens here in Montana (USA). It worked pretty well, and was 
pretty quick. I tried it when it was announced, and it wasn’t as accessible as 
I would have liked. I still had to put in a pin on the credit card machine.

Thanks,

  Hi fellow Canadians,
   
  This morning I was browsing through the news articles with the CBC News app 
on my iPhone and in the Tech and Science section found an article which 
surprised me and also made me quite happy.
  The article explained that as of today CIBC and Royal Bank credit card 
holders can add their credit cards in the Wallet app and use Apple Pay. So far 
only American express card holders were able to use Apple Pay in Canada (since 
last November I think) and not that many people here have American Express 
cards and in many stores even some larger chains they aren’t even accepted 
since they charge a much higher percentage for the merchant. I accept American 
Express at my store and get charged 3.5% whereas I only pay 1.6% for Visa and 
Mastercard although there are a few extra fees on top of that 1.6% for premium 
cards, corporate cards etc.
  Anyhow, the article went on to say that Bank of Montreal Mastercards should 
follow soon and that Scotia and TD debit cards are not far behind.
  I am a Scotia Bank customer both for my business and personal accounts, but I 
do have a CIBC Aeroplan Gold Visa  so I promptly opened Wallet and within a 
minute or two I had added my card.
  I was still in bed as it was early and too lazy to go get my card to try and 
take a picture of it so I chose to add it manually.
  When I first started I was asked for my Apple Id password. I then typed in 
the card number, tapped next and then selected the expiry date and typed in the 
3-digit card verification code. After tapping next again I was asked to select 
a verification option and here I had email or text message as an option. I 
selected text message and 2 seconds after I tapped Next I received a text 
message with a 6-digit code which I had to type in, after that I received the 
message that my card had been added.
  It will be interesting to see if this works at most places where contactless 
transactions are already an option which is very common here. The article says 
this:
   
  "With the support of two of the largest banks in Canada, BMO Financial Group 
and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), consumer adoption of Apple Pay is expected to 
increase significantly," the statement said. "Many of Moneris's largest 
customers, including McDonald's Restaurants of Canada Limited, are 100 per cent 
contactless enabled and ready to accept Apple Pay."

Re: My first attempt to use Apple Pay, was: Apple Pay finally gets main stream support in Canada

[Ron Pelletier]

Sieghard,



Apple says you don’t have to but the guy at CIBC told me the wallet app should 
be open.  I don’t know either way because I haven’t tried it yet.  Apple says 
you can do it from the locked screen if you tap the home button twice but, if 
VO is active, that double tap goes to the app switcher.  I kind of gathered 
that I would have to unlock the screen and then it should work but, then again, 
the guy at CIBC told me the wallet app should be open so, who do I believe.



Any comments anyone?

  So long, Siri: How to get Amazon Alexa on your iPhone

  Apple's virtual personal assistant Siri was unquestionably a
  groundbreaking feature when it first debuted on the iPhone
  . It got off to a rocky start — of that, there
  is no question — and people still run into aggravating problems every day
  with Siri. But Siri has improved dramatically over the years, expanding
  its functionality and growing more accurate along the way.
  Then, Amazon surprised us all when the Echo speaker
  

  came out of nowhere and introduced the world to Alexa. And now, Alexa has
  finally leapt off of Amazon hardware and onto Apple's iPhone and iPad for
  the first time.

  Some believe that Alexa was intended to become a core part of Amazon's
  smartphone and tablet offerings, but the company's plans were derailed in
  light of the fact that the Fire phone was a spectacular flop. Perhaps as a
  result, Amazon instead released a line of dedicated speakers including the
  Amazon Echo
  

  and more affordable Amazon Tap
  
.
  The Echo and Tap serve mainly as delivery mechanisms for Alexa, which is
  Amazon's own take on Siri. Alexa is controlled by voice just like Siri,
  but its focus is on shopping and connected device controls, in addition to
  providing answers to questions a la Siri.
  Alexa is no longer confined to the Echo and Tap now that Amazon has given
  developers access to various APIs, and the killer software feature is now
  finally available on Apple's iPhone and iPad lineup. Amazon's assistant
  arrives courtesy of a third-party app called Lexi, which is immediately
  available for download in the App Store.
  Simply install the $5 Lexi app and log into your Amazon account, and
  you'll instantly gain access to Alexa. Ask questions like "what's the
  weather like?" or "what time is the Yankee game?" and Alexa will serve up
  answers in no time. Of course, you'll also be able to enjoy Amazon
  integration, so you can order products or add items to a shopping list
  with simple voice commands like "add toilet paper to my shopping list" or
  "buy more toothpaste."

Re: Apple Pay finally gets main stream support in Canada

[Ron Pelletier]

Hi 
Sieghard,



In my case, I called the CIBC 800 number and selected to talk to a human.  The 
guy walked me through it. In my case, I had already been using my CIBC Visa 
card in the Apple store so it came up automatically with the 4 last digits 
showing.  I just had to tap on add and agree to the terms.  Since I was on the 
phone with the guy, he authorized my card to be used without having to send me 
the 6 digit code.  I then got this message congratulating me and my card was 
added.



>From what the guy told me, my phone can now be used at any terminal where a 
>card can be tapped and is limited to $100.



In the stores where I am known, they have suggested charging twice if the 
amount was over $100 so I made a payment of $100 and then another payment of 
the balance.  That’s with tapping my card but, he told me the same can be done 
if the clerk is willing to.

I have a feeling that Apple Pay adoption here in Canada will be very fast since 
when it comes to contactless payments we are a lot further along as stores in 
the States. Here chip cards have been around for many years, I haven’t signed a 
credit card receipt in a long time instead I just stick my card into the reader 
just like a bank card and enter my PIN. In most grocery stores, convenience 
stores, drug marts, department stores and so on I can simply tap my card if the 
transaction is less than $100 (the limit is up to each store). Of course this 
means you better take care of your credit card and report it lost or stolen 
right away if it disappears since anybody who has the card can tap it and that 
of course is where Apple Pay is more secure since it uses Touch Id or your 
phone’s passcode to authorize the transaction.

If I have a chance to try it later maybe at Shopper’s Drug Mart or Safeway I’ll 
report as to whether it worked or not.

Sieghard

IOS 9.3.1 now it does not open. I just got my iPhone and downloaded the PCL
Pulse app a couple days ago but just now tried to open it and it will not
open just like it does not open on my iPad. Is anyone else having and issues

"Where to Go" dog relief area app issue

[R VanLant]

Hi,

Is anyone here using the "Where to Go" app that tells you dog relief areas
in airports?  I downloaded it yesterday for the first time.  Whenever I
click on an airport name to show the relief area for that airport, the app
hangs for a second then takes me to my phone's home screen.  The app is
still in the app switcher, but it did not load the airport information.  Is
this just me?   I thought I read about this in a book a couple years ago,
but this is my first time trying it.

Sometimes when I’m using VO, it begins to sound like there are two voices at 
once telling me the same thing. I can unually stop it by turning VO off and 
then back on. If I have to do this lots, it’s time consuming and annoying. I’m 
using IPhone 6SPlus with IOS 9.3, the latest version.It might be 9.31, but I 
think it’s 3. Anyway, it’s the latest update. (smile)

Re: VoiceOver Speaks Through The Earpiece

[Julian]

Hi there,

Every now and then I also experienced similar behavior. Especially, after I've 
used apps such as what's app and Roger. What works for me, is to kill all the 
apps in the app switcher. You might want to try this and see if it works before 
rebooting your phone. Good luck, HTH.

VoiceOver Speaks Through The Earpiece

[Fazil]

Hi, list.

I have Iphone5s with IOS9.31.

Sometimes VoiceOver switches to the earpiece and I have to restart the phone
in order to bring VO back to the main speaker.

Is there a way that I don't have to restart the phone to switch VO back to
main speaker?

Thanks!

Re: My first attempt to use Apple Pay, was: Apple Pay finally gets main stream support in Canada

[Wayne Merritt]

For what it's worth, when I have used Apple Pay in the States, I have
held my phone close to the sensor with my finger already on the home
button, and most of the time the transactions go through in mere
seconds. A few times they haven't and I have had to enter my passcode
or pull a debit card from a pocket. I hope you get it working, eh.

Hey,

I tried this in Walgreens here in Montana (USA). It worked pretty well, and was

I would have liked. I still had to put in a pin on the credit card machine.

Downloading & running Workflows from Safari

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all,

I was Googling around & came across this webpage of WorkFlow Galory.  One of 
the Workflows is downloading Vimeo videos.
http://www.workflowgallery.co/ 
Has anyone successfully opened & ran a Workflow they found via Safari?

I’m not having any luck so far.  The one thing I cannot tell is if the Workflow 
is continuing to run & takes a long time.  There is a done button, do I tap 
that?

Any guidance is appreciated.  Personally, I’d love to tweet this Workflow, so 
the Video downloads to my DropBox.

Thanks,
Traci

My first attempt to use Apple Pay, was: Apple Pay finally gets main stream support in Canada

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi again,

OK, of course I had to try this so when I had to run a few erands today with my 
manager I asked him to go through the McDonald drive-through. When we came to 
the pick-up window the lady gave him the machine, I leaned over and held my 
iPhone 6S Plus up to it after waking it up (I was on the lockscreen). I saw 
that it popped up with my CIBC Visa and I put my thumb on the home button, but 
nothing happened. I finally tapped on “Use Passcode” and the keypad came up, 
but I was not able to enter my passcode because the phone/Voiceover became so 
entirely sluggish that I couldn’t do anything. Of course it was lunch hour and 
cars were piling up behind us. I tried to enter my passcode but couldn’t do it 
because of the sluggishness of the phone.
I finally pulled out my Mastercard and had barely tapped it against the machine 
when it beeped and the transaction was approved.
So, Apple Pay 0, tap method 1. I have to try again another time maybe at a 
place where there is no time pressure. I did go into Settings > Passcode and 
Touch Id afterwards to make sure, but Touch Id was enabled for Apple Pay so 
that was not the reason.

Subject: Apple Pay finally gets main stream support in Canada

Hi fellow Canadians,

This morning I was browsing through the news articles with the CBC News app on 
my iPhone and in the Tech and Science section found an article which surprised 
me and also made me quite happy.
The article explained that as of today CIBC and Royal Bank credit card holders 
can add their credit cards in the Wallet app and use Apple Pay. So far only 
American express card holders were able to use Apple Pay in Canada (since last 
November I think) and not that many people here have American Express cards and 
in many stores even some larger chains they aren’t even accepted since they 
charge a much higher percentage for the merchant. I accept American Express at 
my store and get charged 3.5% whereas I only pay 1.6% for Visa and Mastercard 
although there are a few extra fees on top of that 1.6% for premium cards, 
corporate cards etc.
Anyhow, the article went on to say that Bank of Montreal Mastercards should 
follow soon and that Scotia and TD debit cards are not far behind.
I am a Scotia Bank customer both for my business and personal accounts, but I 
do have a CIBC Aeroplan Gold Visa  so I promptly opened Wallet and within a 
minute or two I had added my card.
I was still in bed as it was early and too lazy to go get my card to try and 
take a picture of it so I chose to add it manually.
When I first started I was asked for my Apple Id password. I then typed in the 
card number, tapped next and then selected the expiry date and typed in the 
3-digit card verification code. After tapping next again I was asked to select 
a verification option and here I had email or text message as an option. I 
selected text message and 2 seconds after I tapped Next I received a text 
message with a 6-digit code which I had to type in, after that I received the 
message that my card had been added.
It will be interesting to see if this works at most places where contactless 
transactions are already an option which is very common here. The article says 
this:

"With the support of two of the largest banks in Canada, BMO Financial Group 
and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), consumer adoption of Apple Pay is expected to 
increase significantly," the statement said. "Many of Moneris's largest 
customers, including McDonald's Restaurants of Canada Limited, are 100 per cent 
contactless enabled and ready to accept Apple Pay."
London Drugs, Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire, Petro-Canada, and Pizza Hut are among 
the stores ready for Apple Pay, according to Apple's website.

I have a feeling that Apple Pay adoption here in Canada will be very fast since 
when it comes to contactless payments we are a lot further along as stores in 
the States. Here chip cards have been around for many years, I haven’t signed a 
credit card receipt in a long time instead I just stick my card into the reader 
just like a bank card and enter my PIN. In most grocery stores, convenience 
stores, drug marts, department stores and so on I can simply tap my card if the 
transaction is less than $100 (the limit is up to each store). Of course this 
means you better take care of your credit card and report it lost or stolen 
right away if it disappears since anybody who has the card can tap it and that 
of course is where Apple Pay is more secure since it uses Touch Id or your 
phone’s passcode to authorize the transaction.

So long, Siri: How to get Amazon Alexa on your iPhone

Apple's virtual personal assistant Siri was unquestionably a
groundbreaking feature when it first debuted on the iPhone
. It got off to a rocky start — of that, there
is no question — and people still run into aggravating problems every day
with Siri. But Siri has improved dramatically over the years, expanding
its functionality and growing more accurate along the way.
Then, Amazon surprised us all when the Echo speaker

came out of nowhere and introduced the world to Alexa. And now, Alexa has
finally leapt off of Amazon hardware and onto Apple's iPhone and iPad for
the first time.

Some believe that Alexa was intended to become a core part of Amazon's
smartphone and tablet offerings, but the company's plans were derailed in
light of the fact that the Fire phone was a spectacular flop. Perhaps as a
result, Amazon instead released a line of dedicated speakers including the
Amazon Echo

and more affordable Amazon Tap
.
The Echo and Tap serve mainly as delivery mechanisms for Alexa, which is
Amazon's own take on Siri. Alexa is controlled by voice just like Siri,
but its focus is on shopping and connected device controls, in addition to
providing answers to questions a la Siri.
Alexa is no longer confined to the Echo and Tap now that Amazon has given
developers access to various APIs, and the killer software feature is now
finally available on Apple's iPhone and iPad lineup. Amazon's assistant
arrives courtesy of a third-party app called Lexi, which is immediately
available for download in the App Store.
Simply install the $5 Lexi app and log into your Amazon account, and
you'll instantly gain access to Alexa. Ask questions like "what's the
weather like?" or "what time is the Yankee game?" and Alexa will serve up
answers in no time. Of course, you'll also be able to enjoy Amazon
integration, so you can order products or add items to a shopping list
with simple voice commands like "add toilet paper to my shopping list" or
"buy more toothpaste."

RE: ITUNES AND UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 10

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If you have some sort of external drive or USB stick large enough it's best if 
you simply copy the entire iTunes folder to it. In case you have to reinstall 
iTunes you can do so, then before you open the program for the first time 
delete the iTunes folder the install created in your Music folder and replace 
it with the one you copied from your old machine. Now if you open iTunes all 
should be as it was on your old machine.

I know this is not what some say is necessary and it's beyond the scope of this 
list, but I assume you are on Jaws 17 and I would recommend that you completely 
uninstall it before the upgrade and then reinstall it once the Windows 10 
update has finished and everything is working. It "should" go OK without this 
as long as you are on one of the Jaws versions of course which support Windows 
10, but when I did the update on my laptop with Jaws in place all sort of 
things were weird and not talking properly. I then actually went a step further 
and completely wiped the computer, repartitioned and reformatted the hard drive 
(an SSD in my case) and reinstalled Windows 10 from scratch after I used the 
Media Creation Tool to put Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit on a USB stick from which I 
could install. After that I reinstalled Jaws and all worked beautifully. Of 
course this also was a year ago and Windows 10 is a lot further along than it 
was then. My Mom upgraded her PC without any issues and so did my brother.

Subject: ITUNES AND UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 10

Hi all,

The time has come for me to upgrade the computer on which I have iTunes 
and I really need advice, as soon as possible, as it's being sorted 
tomorrow by a tech friend who knows much better than I, but he doesn't 
use iTunes.

Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to ensure that I can get 
back into the programme, preferably without having to do all the initial 
setting up and putting all my music there once again. Of course I 
realise the upgrade itself may not go to plan and will deal with those 
eventualities, but would be so glad of some advice on how I should do 
this, assuming all works well. My other PC does not have iTunes on it 
but I do have all my music safely stored away, should I really come unstuck.

Please let me know specifically what I need to backup for iTunes to work 
correctly.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

RE: Problems charging iPhone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Wayne,

I would try to isolate the issue. From what you said there are 5 variables 
involved:

1. the power bar plugged into your wall outlet which you said you already 
changed
2. the Apple wall adapter which is plugged into your power bar
3. the Lightning cable
4. The Apple battery case
5. The iPhone itself

OK, so you can't really do anything about the iPhone itself and you said you 
already changed the power bar and Lightning cable. This leaves the Apple wall 
adapter, maybe you have another one or a third-party USB adapter, you can use 
any one you have and, for that matter, you could try the Apple wall adapter 
when charging another device, maybe you have a Bluetooth headset, speaker or 
keyboard.
I am not exactly sure how the Apple battery case works. I assume it is 
permanently on the phone and connected to the phone's Lightning port and that 
the case itself has a Lightning port where you plug it in. If so I would take 
the case off for a day or two and plug the Lightning cable directly into the 
phone. If that works consistently there is always a chance the case is 
defective.
If you still find the phone doesn't start charging after establishing your wall 
adapter and Lightning cables work (I would also try and remove the power bar 
completely for testing, you should definitely go to an Apple store. Maybe some 
dirt is in the Lightning port of either the phone or the case preventing a good 
connection or it could simply be a hardware issue.
Another good way to test your Lightning cable with just the phone is by 
plugging it into a computer. If it's connected to a USB port on the computer 
and it works reliably but it does not when using the wall adapter then maybe 
the wall adapter is defective. The phone won't charge as fast when it's 
connected to a computer, but it will charge and you can test it that way.

Sieghard

Subject: Problems charging iPhone

All,
I am having some issues charging my iPhone 6S with the Apple Smart Battery 
case. Up until about 10 days ago I wasn't having any problems at all. I started 
noticing that my phone was not charged over night. I always plug it in by my 
bed so it can charge over night. I had been plugging it into a power strip with 
a 6 foot chord. I started noticing that when plugging my phone into the 
lightning cable, several of the outlets did not register that the phone was 
plugged in, meaning I did not get the audible tone or vibration when plugging 
the phone in. I tried a few different outlets and finally disconnected the 
power strip, replaced it with another shorter strip but attached an extension 
chord to the new shorter strip, and plugged my iPhone square plug and lightning 
cable into that. I did the switch a couple of days ago. Sunday night the phone 
charged without any trouble. Last night when I plugged the phone in, there was 
a delay of several minutes before the phone made the audio tone and displayed 
the charging message. However, that didn't last long since within 30 seconds, 
the phone had gone back to being on battery status even though it was securely 
attached to the lightning cable. When this issue first came up, I switched 
lightning cables and that worked for awhile, but I'm wondering if I need to 
swap lightning cables again. Short of going to an Apple Store, I can't figure 
out what might be going on. Granted, I've got the smart battery case on my 
iPhone 6S, which means the battery should last all day and into the night and 
shouldn't be an issue. But my battery does not last nearly as long if it starts 
at 50 percent or 80 percent when I unplug it from the charger, after a night of 
not charging. Anyone have any ideas? Since this appears to be a random issue, 
how would I explain it to Apple, since if they plug it in, the phone is likely 
to register that it is connected to a charger.
I don't want for it to seem like nothing is wrong, and then come home and have 
the same issue come up.

Thanks,
Wayne Merritt

RE: Audible with Voiceover Tutorial

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I am not aware of any Podcasts but if you ask your questions I'm sure you will 
probably get good answers since I know many people here including myself use 
the Audible app on a daily bases and are very familiar with it. Overall I would 
say the app is fairly straight forward and while there have been a few 
accessibility challenges along the way, it's currently working pretty well. I 
just wish they would bring back the ability to delete books using the rotor for 
Voiceover users. Finding the master delete button and then the correct delete 
button for a particular book isn't too difficult, but I find it is a bit clumsy 
and think it could be handled more elegantly by giving sighted users the option 
to swipe to delete and Voiceover users the option to delete via the rotor.

Sieghard

Re: Problems charging iPhone

[SoonerAnnie]

Hi Wayne, 

I have had this same case on my iPhone 6S for about a month, and sometimes it 
does nothing when I plug the lightning cable in. So when that happens, I unplug 
it from the case, reboot the phone, then plug it back in and all is well. Kind 
of a pain, but not much of one. Smile! Hope this works for you!

RE: App that wil show current location with name of town

[Cristóbal]

I just asked Siri “where am I located?” and it gave me the full address. Of 
course, it was to the house located behind me, but close enough for this little 
test. And yes, the entire address including city was spoken.

Enable tracking via native iOS maps app and you can obtain address, street, 
city and state details. BlindSquare is great, but the maps app will do the 
trick.

Blind Square will speak the intersection, address and city when you shake your

Have you looked at the native Maps app, or perhaps Google Maps? Also,
I think you can simply say, "Location" to Siri and get some of that
info too. Depending on what you're looking for and what your goal is,
these may meet your needs. There are probably apps which say the
location along with the city if you just want that. Also, consider
things like BlindSquare which can tell you that along with lots of
other information.

Re: Is there an accessible pedometer app?

[Ed Worrell]

Hello,

You could use Pedometer++ It doesn’t use GPS and doesn’t drain the battery in 
the slightest, and best of all it’s free. If you want to support the developer 
you can donate or tip I can’t remember which. It is not mandatory as you get 
all of the functions in the free version.

Problems charging iPhone

[Wayne Merritt]

All,
I am having some issues charging my iPhone 6S with the Apple Smart
Battery case. Up until about 10 days ago I wasn't having any problems
at all. I started noticing that my phone was not charged over night. I
always plug it in by my bed so it can charge over night. I had been
plugging it into a power strip with a 6 foot chord. I started noticing
that when plugging my phone into the lightning cable, several of the
outlets did not register that the phone was plugged in, meaning I did
not get the audible tone or vibration when plugging the phone in. I
tried a few different outlets and finally disconnected the power
strip, replaced it with another shorter strip but attached an
extension chord to the new shorter strip, and plugged my iPhone square
plug and lightning cable into that. I did the switch a couple of days
ago. Sunday night the phone charged without any trouble. Last night
when I plugged the phone in, there was a delay of several minutes
before the phone made the audio tone and displayed the charging
message. However, that didn't last long since within 30 seconds, the
phone had gone back to being on battery status even though it was
securely attached to the lightning cable. When this issue first came
up, I switched lightning cables and that worked for awhile, but I'm
wondering if I need to swap lightning cables again. Short of going to
an Apple Store, I can't figure out what might be going on. Granted,
I've got the smart battery case on my iPhone 6S, which means the
battery should last all day and into the night and shouldn't be an
issue. But my battery does not last nearly as long if it starts at 50
percent or 80 percent when I unplug it from the charger, after a night
of not charging. Anyone have any ideas? Since this appears to be a
random issue, how would I explain it to Apple, since if they plug it
in, the phone is likely to register that it is connected to a charger.
I don't want for it to seem like nothing is wrong, and then come home
and have the same issue come up.

Thanks,
Wayne Merritt

Re: can't seem to change vo voice

[Shermeen Khan]

Thanks for all the suggestions, folks. Sieghard, I took your advice
and added Alex to the roder, and somehow that solved the issue, but
only because I could change the language using the roder, but still
couldn't do it the "old-fashioned way" i.e. by just selecting it like
I used to be able to do. Ah well, all's well that ends well though, I
guess. I've reverted back to Samantha though, as Alex will always
sound better to me on a mac than on an IPhone, despite the high
quality speaker. It's as if he takes pauses in awkward places.

Anyway, thanks again, everyone!

Re: Notifications from the iOS Mail app from specific messages

[Wayne Merritt]

Thanks a lot for this. When looking into your steps, I discovered that
notify Me is in the More option in the actions rodar. Now, if I want
to stop a message or thread from notifying me, would I go through the
same process? I enabled Notify Me on a message I sent last night, but
then when I looked in the More item again, after the other things it
simply said Notify Me. There did not appear to be a way to turn these
notifications off. Thoughts?

RE: App that wil show current location with name of town

[Richard Turner]

Ifind Siri often just shows you the address and city when you ask for your 
location, or sometimes even when you say "where am I?"
If you say "tell me where I am" it more often will speak the information 
instead of just displaying it.

Blind Square will speak the intersection, address and city when you shake your 
device.

Have you looked at the native Maps app, or perhaps Google Maps? Also,
I think you can simply say, "Location" to Siri and get some of that
info too. Depending on what you're looking for and what your goal is,
these may meet your needs. There are probably apps which say the
location along with the city if you just want that. Also, consider
things like BlindSquare which can tell you that along with lots of
other information.

Smart Keyboardfor the iPad Pro.

[Jennie Facer]

Does anyone have one of these keyboards? I am having a very hard time getting 
the caps lock plus space bar to work. It won't let me press up and down arrows 
together to do a one-finger double tap. I have to use VO plus space bar. It is 
really touchy. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Jenn

Re: Any possibility to use english india seeri male voice for voiceover?

I have tried all voices given there, except those which are yet to be
downloaded, but I am pretty sure seeri is not using the accent which
is not already downloaded in the language section of voiceover.

Re: Any possibility to use english india seeri male voice for voiceover?

[rajmund]

Hello,
You need to find out which accent India uses, as when I just switched language, 
my accent stayed. In this case, it was British female. In other words, is India 
using British, American, or Australian male?

Re: Samantha Speaking Non-alphanumeric Characters when UK Daniel Set as Default Voice

[Craig Werner]

The suggestion of switching countries is a sensible one, but it seems
to me too radical a step to take to rectify a problem that should not
be occurring in the first place.  Dealing with two voices is not the
end of the world for me.I'll let apple sort things out from
here.  Thank you for your thoughts, though.

My "Recents" on my old  5 and my current 6S have  100 entries. Each entry may 
refer to multiple incoming and outgoing calls. I just always thought 100 was 
the iPhone default because i sure didn't set anything.

RE: A strange concept of what constituteS * recen

[Sieghard Weitzel]

You can't, I've been an iPhone user for a pretty long time and have been on 
this list for about as long, but never have I found such a setting anywhere or 
heard about it before.
I guess one can use the 3-finger single tap gesture to hear what row one is on 
in the recents list and it will also give you the total number of rows, this 
would be the easiest way I can think of to find out how many rows/entries there 
are. Maybe 200 is the upper limit, I sometimes do a fair number of calls but it 
would probably still take me a month to get to that number before I can check 
whether it stops at 200 or not.

Indeed it is Daren; here’s how you do it:

1) Of course, have the Recents tab in the phone app in focus.
2) Locate the entry you desire.
3) Find and double tap the “More Info” button immediately after the desired
phone number.
4) Depending on whether you want to create an entirely new contact or simply

That will place you into an edit dialog for the new or existing contact.

Re: Is there an accessible pedometer app?

[Lois Butterfield]

In my experience, Run Keeper works very well both for running and walking.

Take care,

I have used run keeper and thought it was pretty helpful. To be honest I have 
not tried it in several months so I can't say if it is still fully accessible. 
It did do a good job of calculating how far I've walked when I was using it 
last summer.

  Hi Everyone,

  Is there an accessible pedometer app to keep tracked of how far a person

help or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.

I assume you can change the number of called stored in the recent list.  My 4s 
stores 200 calls.

I use the phone feature on my iPhone very little but a few nights ago when I
had made one of my very
rare calls, I happened to notice "recents" and wondered what might be in
there that I could delete,
and there were calls going back to April 2015 which is when I first got the
thing.  One year seems a
very liberal interpretation of recent!

Indeed it is Daren; here’s how you do it:

1) Of course, have the Recents tab in the phone app in focus.
2) Locate the entry you desire.
3) Find and double tap the “More Info” button immediately after the desired
phone number.
4) Depending on whether you want to create an entirely new contact or simply
add the selected number
to an existing contact double click the appropriate number.

That will place you into an edit dialog for the new or existing contact.
