It similar to the Amazon Echo. Although due to limitations, you can't control 
her entirely by voice. In the Roger app, you have to press the microphone to 
talk to her. I'm not from the US so I don't know how she behaves in the Lexi 
app. I can only access her with Roger.

Hi Fazil,

 

First of all, the 5S does not support Apple Pay. Secondly, even  if it did, BMO 
Mastercard is not yet supported, I assume it won’t be long, but currently it’s 
only CIBC Visa and maybe TD here in Canada. The nice thing is that since most 
terminals in Canada are already tap/contactless terminals Apple Pay works 
pretty much everywhere as long as the merchant’s terminal supports contactless 
payments. Your iPhone 6 Plus would allow you to use Apple Pay.

RE: Adding My BMO MasterCard To Apple Pay?

2016-06-01 Thread Sieghard Weitzel

Hi Fazil,

First of all, the 5S does not support Apple Pay. Secondly, even  if it did, BMO 
Mastercard is not yet supported, I assume it won’t be long, but currently it’s 
only CIBC Visa and maybe TD here in Canada. The nice thing is that since most 
terminals in Canada are already tap/contactless terminals Apple Pay works 
pretty much everywhere as long as the merchant’s terminal supports contactless 
payments. Your iPhone 6 Plus would allow you to use Apple Pay.

Regards,
Sieghard

RE: voice assistance apps

Hi Fred,

I just asked SIRI “How to cook Lobster” and after a moment I got this: Hmm, let 
me think… my web search turned something up for how to cook lobster”.
I wouldn’t call this exactly helpful although to be fair I also don’t know how 
helpful it is to hear one recipe read out by Google if it’s not the recipe I 
want or like.

Hey all,

I know the IPhone has serie, but I was wondering of any other apps that people 
use for voice assistance?
I know that you can use google, and it will read things to you, but I’m 
wondering if that is just for the droyed.
The other day, we were wanting to cook lopster, and someone who was over with 
us asked google how to cook the lopster, and the phone read it to her.
I think she has a droyed.
Any help would be appreciated.

educational programs and apps. We are particularly interested in writing 
tutorial software and/or apps, and programs that offer the ability to share, 
collaborate, offer feedback, easily upload files, monitor student work, etc. 
For my sake, any of these must be VoiceOver accessible.
If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate hearing from you: off-list if you

Re: Air Printer?

2016-06-01 Thread Richard Turner


it has been a long time since I used them. One concern I have with those apps 
are you need to be sure to limit the access to your own network, otherwise, you 
open yourself up to making your system accessible on the web. I think one was 
called Printer pro and one was called OPrint. I just googled for programs to 
make a USB printer an air printer or something like that.

The HL 2360 is a laser printer, black ink only. Personally, I see no need for 
color and I've never liked ink-jet printers since the per page printing cost is 
much higher.
The Brother HL 2360 like the 2140, has a 250 sheet tray and prints very quickly.

Re: Air Printer?

2016-06-01 Thread englishrider91

Richard, is the printer you mentioned an ink or laser printer? Also, is it just 
black-and-white, or does it also do color?


Thanks,
Ari

We used to have that printer and it was USB only. We recently replaced it with 
the HL 2360 DW which does double sided printing and is also Wireless and works 
with Apple devices.

There is a nice Brother iPrint app.

There are apps with Windows programs you can download and make the HL 2140 
useable with your iDevice but the computer that the printer is connected to has 
to be on for that setup to work.

Re: voice assistance apps

2016-06-01 Thread Shawn Krasniuk

You can get it two ways. If you're in the US, you can buy an app called Lexi 
for $5 and get her that way. If you're not in the US, you can download an app 
called Roger and find her there. You need to have an Amazon account though to 
use her in both instances.

iPhone Features: Hidden iOS tricks that are actually hidden | BGR

2016-06-01 Thread Traci Duncan

Okay, one of the features here that grabbed my attention was the unread 
mailbox.  I thought that was cool and all, but I’m terrible about deleting 
messages, so I had over 5000 unread with 2 accounts.  ;)  This unread mailbox 
doesn’t work for me.  However, I noticed there are several more options of 
bonus mailboxes, like today.  This one is excellent for me and may just help me 
keep my inbox more tidy!

Thanks BGR!  Hope y’all find some features you didn’t know about.

Enjoy,
Traci

Re: Neato BotVac Connect with app. Looks really good!

2016-06-01 Thread 'Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

Kimber,

Will do! In fact, while I was cogitating upon the last 1 per cent, my 
partner went ahead and ordered it for me. So, fingers crossed because, although 
there are people here on the list with experience of the Neato range, no-one 
has mentioned having the newest incarnation, so, complete accessibility is 
still to be ascertained.

It should take a couple of weeks to get to me, then I will need a little 
time to play and, after that, will report back if people are interested.

By the way, for those who like to Jail-break their phones,or generally, 
take a lateral view of computers, there is a bit of a vibrant community  of 
robot vacuum hackers. I am wondering how long it will  be before my BotVac will 
be able to respond to my voice, like Siri, and, applying gentle suction, go 
pick up the post! Or find that dropped 20 Euro note and retrieve it for me? 
What really always gets me about these Bots is, and this is even more true of 
the Neato Bot, their ability to navigate round objects, through rooms, leaving 
a particular spot and then, after refeulling, return to that same spot. All 
using a very small collection of computing power. Why can't I have something 
that will do that? I have the impression that there could be something to learn 
from this technology which could be very relevant for us re mobility.

Rambling again, sorry!

I will stop on this until I have some concrete info!
Sandy.

Hey all,

Thought I would share this with the list as now that I am running my AC I could 
barely hear VoiceOVer on my 6S, yes was quite surprised. I discovered this case 
last week and have had it for a few days and love it. It is called the ZAGG 
speaker case got it through Amazon for $80 U.S. but you can buy it from ZAGG 
for $59.99. The speaker is amazing and raises VO by at least 5 times if not 
more. Podcasts and T.V. shows and streaming video sound great. The case will 
also charge your phone through  a lighting cord as it has a USB slot. Check it 
out and let me know if you have any questions, here is the link on Amazon

Getting rid of carpets also helps to call about allergies, as well as chronic

My husband and I currently own a Bob Sweep robot vacuum, and it needs quite a 
bit of babying. What I mean is that it often gets 
stuck in areas, such as underneath the edges of cupboards, under our couch, or 
it bumps up against something, and thinks that 
there's something stuck between it's bumper thing on the front and the back 
you, which can cause problems. Also, it gets a lot of 
hair stuck in the brush, and when that happens, it freaks out. Needless to say, 
we are not super impressed. Oh, sure, it cleans 
rather well, but I couldn't just go out for a few hours and have it vacuum and 
be confident that it wouldn't get stuck somewhere 
along the process. And this happens more than once per cleaning. This is also 
supposed to be the pet version, which is supposed to 
be better at handling dog hair and things than the original.


Thanks,

Re: Question about FceBook - is it accessible using voiceover on IOS devices?

2016-06-01 Thread 'RobH.' via VIPhone

BTW:  one can use the mobile interface at - http://m.facebook.com - which 
simplifies the process no end.  Still do that on XP,  I 
still have XP here.  But certainly the dedicated app is the best way to use the 
service, and for sure there is no obvious way around 
those captures.  In this day and age, they aren't even necessary.  I've met 
perfectly good textual puzzles that rattle the 'bot's 
marbles loose.

Hi Eleanor,
Facebook is more accessible using an iPhone or iPad than it is in my opinion on 
a PC. I use it all the time. If my memory serves me 
correctly, there is a capcha that needs solving first so yo may initially need 
someone's eyes to help though this may have been 
dealt with now.
Happy Facebooking!

Re: Question about FceBook - is it accessible using voiceover on IOS devices?

2016-06-01 Thread 'RobH.' via VIPhone

Pardon a silly question:-   if one installs the Facebook app, and hasn't 
got an account,  will the app not guide you through 
that setup process?

This is a genuine question as I don't know the answer - I did have an account 
setup from ages since - but it might be the answer the 
original questioner needs.

Hi all

Just a quick question about FaceBook. I'd really like to set up an account and 
start using it. However, when I tried to do this a 
couple of years ago to be honest I didn't find it very accessible on my IPad 
and IPhone when totally reliant on voiceover (which I 
am). So I just wondered whether things had improved and whether it was now 
accessible using VO? I use Twitter all the time and have 
no issues with it, and I'd love to do the same with FaceBook, but don't really 
want to take the plunge without asking about others 
experiences first.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Re: Best Case Ever ZAGG Speaker Case

2016-06-01 Thread 'RobH.' via VIPhone

I can see this fixed position snap-on type as offering something useful and 
different to a loose secondary piece.  I'd like this, 
all be it bulking up the phone unit in the doing. there's always room for 
laterual thinking, and this is certainly one of those.

Bit pricy for me mind,  but love good ideas.

Hmm. I'm not trying to be contentious, but if it snaps to your phone, then you 
are indeed carrying a bluetooth speaker with you.

It does sound like a convenient case.

Actually no. As this snaps on to your phone therefore you do not have to carry 
your bluetooth speaker with you, but thanks anyway

Brian,

I know you have a background in comedy, which might be a small  reason for my 
rather tongue-in-cheek comment.

Regardless, I'm sorry for offending you and I hope you never stop sharing your 
very helpful observations to this group.

Sincerely,

Gary
