Re: Transferring videos from the phone directly into dropbox on the phone

[Deidre Muccio]

Well voice dream reader has dropbox. I was just wondering if there was a way to 
get files that are already on the phone into dropbox on the phone. I suppose I 
could copy them in from another computer if that other computer would boot. It 
won't.

Re: USB cable question

[englishrider91]

Ixcc makes good, reliable MFI cables. I highly recommend that brand. No 
shortouts, and even when I shove the 6-foot Cable I have by my bed under my 
pillow (and as a result, have sort of bent the wiring in multiple directions) 
the cable is still holding up very, very well. They also work with the OtterBox 
Defender case for my iPhone 6S.


Thanks, Ari

Re: Transferring videos from the phone directly into dropbox on the phone

I am not sure what VDR would have to do with your videos.
But, try downloading the DropBox app, and sign in to your account.
Then try sharing again from the photos app.

Re: Transferring videos from the phone directly into dropbox on the phone

I will give it a try once more. It seems I always hit on the more buttons when 
I haven't found what I'm looking for anywhere else!

RE: Transferring videos from the phone directly into dropbox on the phone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Some of the share extensions have to be turned on before they are available. To 
do this tap on the “More” button when you bring up the Share sheet. There are 
actually two areas or whatever one would call it and there are also two More 
buttons. Give it a try.

I am definitely not seeing that option. I look for it also. It's very strange. 
I looked at some settings within voice dream reader for dropbox and other 
things and didn't see anything but I must be missing something here not sure 
what. Meanwhile I am uploading some of these videos to YouTube which of course 
it takes forever to do. Dropbox seems a little more or I don't know direct so

RE: Anyone Else Noticed Recent Voiceover Changes?

Hi Alan,

 

Try changing your punctuation from none to some.  That should fix the problem.

While I appreciate your opinion, I've always preferred the Samantha high 
quality voice and the default lower quality one doesn't change the issue I 
posted about. In addition to my original post differences, I'm also noticing 
that my status bar now pronounces the number of wifi bars as weefee bars when 
I'm sure it used to say WyFie bars. And my battery charge now says 93 battery 
power instead of 93 percent battery power as it used to.

 

Rebooting my phone or choosing the default voices doesn't change these new 
pronunciations and I'm surprised no one else is experiencing them.

Actually in my opinion, the Samantha low quality voice sounds better than the 
high quality voice. It sound like it should be the other way around. Try using 
the lower quality voice and see if your issues are still there.

I'm curious if anyone else has noticed a couple of VoiceOver changes that I 
became aware of in the past couple of days. I updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 9.3.4 
last night but I noticed these changes while still running iOS 9.3.3.

 

The first change is minor and concerns how VO speaks the minutes when 
announcing the time when they are less than 10 after the hour. I feel certain 
that before a couple of days ago, VO would say the o for zero before announcing 
the minute. For example if the time were 8:05 a.m., VO would say 8 oh 5 a.m. 
Now, VO is saying 8 5 a.m. Like I said, no big deal but I'm curious why they 
would change such a thing and I'm wondering if anyone else noticed it.

 

The other issue is more annoying. When VO is reading my texts and emails I've 
composed back to me, the pause indicating punctuation such as a period at the 
end of a sentence seems to have greatly decreased or disappeared altogether. 
I've had to double check on more than one occasion to ensure that I included a 
period because VO read my text as if the sentences were typed without one. I've 
reviewed my VoiceOver settings to make sure nothing has been added to control 
this and could not find anything. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

I'm using the Samantha high quality voice for VoiceOver if this makes a 
difference.

 

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Re: Question about voice dream reader

[Shawn Krasniuk]

Hi. I think the pauses vary by voice to voice. When I use a Neospeech voice or 
one of the built-in iOS voices, the pauses are pretty short. However, when I 
use a voice from Acapela, the pauses are a lot longer than Neospeech or iOS 
voices. Why not try an Acapela voice and see what that gives you?

"Cancel", but it just doesn't seem to make a difference, I just wait a moment 
until it's done saying "Cancel" and then ask my question. Of course turning 
Voiceover off with a 3-finger double tap does solve this and also avoids 
Voiceover speaking at the same time when Google self-voices an answer to your 
question.

Regards,
Sieghard

Thanks for all the feedback. Thanks Sieghard unfortunately I had my settings 
just like you had mentioned and still getting the cancel before saying anything 
which then leads to only getting results half the time. Guess this is why I do 
not use Google for anything much anymore. Thanks again.

Re: Question about voice dream reader

[Richard Turner]

It is not currently an option in VDR.
Perhaps you should write the developer and ask if that could be added.
Later,

Re: Transferring videos from the phone directly into dropbox on the phone

When I double tapped on that, I had the option to save it anywhere on Dropbox I

Are you not finding that option?

Transferring videos from the phone directly into dropbox on the phone

[Deidre Muccio]

Hello all,
I'm trying to get some videos some as long as 15 minutes into dropbox. These 
videos are sitting in my photos application on the phone. I appear to have just 
transferred five of them into notes. There really should be a way to get them 
into dropbox via voice dream reader right? I see absolutely no import button 
anywhere even though when I did a Google search it said to look for an import 
button. Is there way this can be done? I have The same files on my old computer 
which has suddenly just refused to boot. I think it's done for. Anyway these 
videos are sitting here on my phone and they're too big to transfer easily. Any 
other suggestions if the dropbox thing isn't doable? Thanks in advance.

RE: looking for a carb counting app

[Cristóbal]

LoseIt is pretty good and for the most part accessible, but for two major 
issues. You can search and add foods with no problem, but once an item is added 
and in your log, VO can’t read what you entered in the log. It’ll just say 
button. I haven’t figured out how to scan either.

It’s not a terrible road block for me as I’m married to a working  set of eyes, 
but if you don’t have access to someone  with vision, this may present a 
challenge.

Everything but for this unlabled button issue and the ability to scan is 
accessible.

RE: amazon app, major bug

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If you ever need to tap a button with Voiceover off, find the button and put 
your finger over it so you are just not touching the screen. Now triple click 
the home button to turn Voiceover off by triple clicking the home button with 
the other hand. Once Voiceover is off tap the screen where you are hovering 
with your finger and hope you hit the button in question. I find that it helps 
when my phone is on a solid surface like a table.

Arnold and others, 

I don't know if we're getting different results from Google but when I just 
tried saying okay Google, focus does move to a cancel button at the bottom of 
the screen but VoiceOver saying cancel didn't affect my Google search. I just 
asked my question after VO said cancel and Google answered me just fine.

Hello Jed,

You know, I've been following this thread and a couple of things come to
mind:

Have you attempted to place an order from a desktop web browser,
lately?  I'm starting to wonder if there is something amiss with your
actual Amazon account.

To be honest, and I don't doubt you for a minute, I find it difficult to
believe that Apple accessibility could/would confirm such a bug with a
third-party app.

This is to say, in order to confirm such a problem, the Apple rep would
have to (1) download the app, (2) login to an Amazon account, (3) locate
a product, (4) have/create payment methods, billing address, shipping
addresses etc, (5) and attempt to place an order.  While this is
certainly possible, I don't recall any Apple rep being so involved,
especially where a third party app is concerned.  I suppose it is
possible that you gave the rep your login credentials but, again, I
cannot imagine an Apple rep accepting them if for no other than security
concerns for your privacy.

Having said all this, the problem still remains that you cannot complete
an Amazon order.

Have you changed the default display configuration on your device?  This
is to say, it is possible, that such modifications, assuming they are
extreme enough, could corrupt the apps display aspect ratio and,
consequently, prevent VoiceOver from properly focusing on available
buttons.

I suggest that you explore all of the device's display settings and make
certain that everything is set to the default parameters--especially the
screen size and font size.

Also, if you have a plus size device, make certain that the Reach
ability feature is disabled.

One more thing, assuming that the display settings have not been
modified, the next troubleshooting step I would take would be to find a
sighted person, disable VoiceOver, and see if the sighted person can
move forward with the purchasing process.

Good Luck,

Mark

You might also want to check that VoiceOver isn't set to know punctuation in 
the punctuation rotor setting. I always keep it on some, otherwise weird things 
start happening with VoiceOver that I don't like, such as it not saying the 
zero in the time.

You can also just tell iTunes that a group of selected files are audio books

your actual Amazon account.


To be honest, and I don't doubt you for a minute, I find it 
difficult to believe that Apple accessibility could/would confirm 
such a bug with a third-party app.


This is to say, in order to confirm such a problem, the Apple 
rep would have to (1) download the app, (2) login to an Amazon 
account, (3) locate a product, (4) have/create payment methods, 
billing address, shipping addresses etc, (5) and attempt to place 
an order.  While this is certainly possible, I don't recall any 
Apple rep being so involved, especially where a third party app 
is concerned.  I suppose it is possible that you gave the rep 
your login credentials but, again, I cannot imagine an Apple rep 
accepting them if for no other than security concerns for your 
privacy.


Having said all this, the problem still remains that you cannot 
complete an Amazon order.


Have you changed the default display configuration on your 
device?  This is to say, it is possible, that such modifications, 
assuming they are extreme enough, could corrupt the apps display 
aspect ratio and, consequently, prevent VoiceOver from properly 
focusing on available buttons.


I suggest that you explore all of the device's display settings 
and make certain that everything is set to the default 
parameters--especially the screen size and font size.


Also, if you have a plus size device, make certain that the 
Reach ability feature is disabled.


One more thing, assuming that the display settings have not been 
modified, the next troubleshooting step I would take would be to 
find a sighted person, disable VoiceOver, and see if the sighted 
person can move forward with the purchasing process.


Good Luck,

Mark

Re: How in the world does anyone use Ok Google on an iPhone

[Arnold Schmidt]

The problem is not that it won't work, but that Voice Over says cancel button, 
after the chimes go off and google is waiting for the question. When voice over 
says cancel button, it confuses google. I just turn speech off with the 
three-finger double tap, before saying hey google, and things are fine.

Re: amazon app, major bug

[Arnold Schmidt]

I think it is more likely to give this problem if one is wanting to change the 
address to which something is being sent. That is the circumstance when I 
encountered it about a week ago. Things usually are fine if one is sending 
something to the same address to which the last order was sent.

I've found the Google app to be inconsistent in starting with the okay Google 
command. I didn't know that this inconsistency was due to VoiceOver since it 
usually works for me after my first successful search. I do my first search by 
placing focus in the box where you normally type your search terms, swiping 
right once and moving to the voice search control, and then double tapping. 
Google will sound a sort of chime indicating it's waiting for your voice 
command and it works fine. It is an extra step instead of saying okay Google 
but it is much easier than turning VoiceOver off. The okay Google usually works 
for me after I've done my first search with the voice search control. 

Good luck.

I'd agree with Sieghard that if you have mp3 audiobooks you're wanting to
get on your iPhone, Voice Dream Reader and Dropbox are the easiest 
solution.
You can copy the zipped mp3 books into an appropriate Dropbox folder on 
your

computer and easily add them to Voice Dream using the app.



I don't know if you're a US citizen but if you are, the BARD Mobile app is
excellent for getting books from the NLS BARD service provided you are a

Re: Looking for any way to put audio books on iPhone 6

[Richard Turner]

Jerry,
Remember that VDR will use the name of the Zip file as the name of the book and 
each mp3 file in the zip file will be the chapter names. So, you need to be 
sure the mp3 file names will be in sequence. I always use leading zeros to make 
sure they remain in order. like, 01, 02 etc.
Or, if there are over 100 files, then 001, 002, etc.
Or, make sure they are alphabetical.
Enjoy,
Richard

Jerry,

I'd agree with Sieghard that if you have mp3 audiobooks you're wanting to get 
on your iPhone, Voice Dream Reader and Dropbox are the easiest solution. You 
can copy the zipped mp3 books into an appropriate Dropbox folder on your 
computer and easily add them to Voice Dream using the app.

I don't know if you're a US citizen but if you are, the BARD Mobile app is 
excellent for getting books from the NLS BARD service provided you are a 
citizen and have established a BARD account.

Re: How in the world does anyone use Ok Google on an iPhone

[Alan Lemly]

I've found the Google app to be inconsistent in starting with the okay Google 
command. I didn't know that this inconsistency was due to VoiceOver since it 
usually works for me after my first successful search. I do my first search by 
placing focus in the box where you normally type your search terms, swiping 
right once and moving to the voice search control, and then double tapping. 
Google will sound a sort of chime indicating it's waiting for your voice 
command and it works fine. It is an extra step instead of saying okay Google 
but it is much easier than turning VoiceOver off. The okay Google usually works 
for me after I've done my first search with the voice search control. 

Good luck.

Re: amazon app, major bug

[Jed Barton]

Well, i had not 1 but 2 reps try it.  Both of them actually use it all 
the time.  I got lucky, they both tried it with voiceover and the same 
results.

I placed an order on the pc with no problem.  It's certainly an app issue.

On 8/6/2016 3:09 AM, M. Taylor wrote:

Hello Jed,

You know, I've been following this thread and a couple of things come to mind:

Have you attempted to place an order from a desktop web browser, lately?  I'm 
starting to wonder if there is something amiss with your actual Amazon account.

To be honest, and I don't doubt you for a minute, I find it difficult to 
believe that Apple accessibility could/would confirm such a bug with a 
third-party app.

This is to say, in order to confirm such a problem, the Apple rep would have to 
(1) download the app, (2) login to an Amazon account, (3) locate a product, (4) 
have/create payment methods, billing address, shipping addresses etc, (5) and 
attempt to place an order.  While this is certainly possible, I don't recall 
any Apple rep being so involved, especially where a third party app is 
concerned.  I suppose it is possible that you gave the rep your login 
credentials but, again, I cannot imagine an Apple rep accepting them if for no 
other than security concerns for your privacy.

Having said all this, the problem still remains that you cannot complete an 
Amazon order.

Have you changed the default display configuration on your device?  This is to 
say, it is possible, that such modifications, assuming they are extreme enough, 
could corrupt the apps display aspect ratio and, consequently, prevent 
VoiceOver from properly focusing on available buttons.

I suggest that you explore all of the device's display settings and make 
certain that everything is set to the default parameters--especially the screen 
size and font size.

Also, if you have a plus size device, make certain that the Reach ability 
feature is disabled.

One more thing, assuming that the display settings have not been modified, the 
next troubleshooting step I would take would be to find a sighted person, 
disable VoiceOver, and see if the sighted person can move forward with the 
purchasing process.

Good Luck,

Mark

Even after updating my IOS, deleting the app and re-installing it, you can no

  Hi Jonathan,

  I looked at your blog post about the scales.

  I have been very happy with my FitBit Aria scale for years.  I was able to 
set it up myself via the FitBit app, which is quite accessible.

  I have the app because I have been using their step counters also for years 
because my Apple watch doesn’t count steps at all when holding onto the 
treadmill rail.  I walk and run a lot and want credit for those steps as well. 

  If you don’t use a treadmill at all, this probably won’t make a difference, 
but it is amazing to look at the health app and see how few steps I get credit 
for.

  I step on the scale and count to five.  That’s all the time it takes to get 
my weight and body fat calculated.

  This is just some things one might want to consider when choosing which scale 
and which app to use.

  I’m glad to know how the WiThing works.  I hope it becomes more accessible in 
the near future.

  Take care,
  Lois

RE: Looking for any way to put audio books on iPhone 6

[Donald Moore]

The one thing that does wonders with this is to access a free program such as 
mp3to iPad audiobook converter.  Then the iPhone knows it's a book and it'll go 
in the right place.

 program such as mp3 to audiobooks

Hello Jerry,

You have received some excellent tips in this thread.

Like you, I have many, many MP3 files that I enjoy reading as audio books.  

I am a big fan of iTunes via Jaws for Windows.  

As I am particularly resistant to third-party solutions unless absolutely 
necessary, I use the podcast feature of iTunes for all of my manually 
created/non-purchased MP3 audio books.

If you do not want to use iTunes in order to manage your files, then, of 
course, third-party solutions are the only way to go.  However, I would argue 
that there is a lot of hidden magic in iTunes via the Jaws Touch Cursor.

One reason why I prefer to use iTunes is because doing so allows me to sync my 
audio files between my PC, my iPhone and my iPod Nanno.  

As you may or may not know, third-party apps cannot be installed on the Nanno.

Just wanted to throw that out there, for you to consider.

Mark

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my inquiry!  I thought I had tried the 
MP3 zipped file into VDR, but will try it again.  I do use Bard on the phone, 
and do buy audible books but have collected many hundreds of mp3 formatted 
books and want to re-read some of them.

Thank you all so much!!  I will let you know how it goes with VDR…

Jerry,

I'd agree with Sieghard that if you have mp3 audiobooks you're wanting to get 
on your iPhone, Voice Dream Reader and Dropbox are the easiest solution. You 
can copy the zipped mp3 books into an appropriate Dropbox folder on your 
computer and easily add them to Voice Dream using the app.

I don't know if you're a US citizen but if you are, the BARD Mobile app is 
excellent for getting books from the NLS BARD service provided you are a 
citizen and have established a BARD account.

Good afternoon everyone!

I am getting desperate now!  I have tried everything I can find to get audio 
books onto my iPhone.  I even bought iExplore because it said you could mount 
the folders like a windows drive, but no luck!  I also bought the JTunes 
scripts for iTunes, and can't get to the audio books from there either!  If 
anyone can tell me how to put audio books on my iPhone 6 from my Windows 7 PC, 
I would be very grateful!

I had not wanted to jail-break my iPhone, but if that is the only way, I guess 
I can try that…  please send any ideas you have!

Thanks,

RE: amazon app, major bug

[M. Taylor]

Hello Jed,

You know, I've been following this thread and a couple of things come to mind:

Have you attempted to place an order from a desktop web browser, lately?  I'm 
starting to wonder if there is something amiss with your actual Amazon account. 
 

To be honest, and I don't doubt you for a minute, I find it difficult to 
believe that Apple accessibility could/would confirm such a bug with a 
third-party app.  

This is to say, in order to confirm such a problem, the Apple rep would have to 
(1) download the app, (2) login to an Amazon account, (3) locate a product, (4) 
have/create payment methods, billing address, shipping addresses etc, (5) and 
attempt to place an order.  While this is certainly possible, I don't recall 
any Apple rep being so involved, especially where a third party app is 
concerned.  I suppose it is possible that you gave the rep your login 
credentials but, again, I cannot imagine an Apple rep accepting them if for no 
other than security concerns for your privacy.

Having said all this, the problem still remains that you cannot complete an 
Amazon order.

Have you changed the default display configuration on your device?  This is to 
say, it is possible, that such modifications, assuming they are extreme enough, 
could corrupt the apps display aspect ratio and, consequently, prevent 
VoiceOver from properly focusing on available buttons.

I suggest that you explore all of the device's display settings and make 
certain that everything is set to the default parameters--especially the screen 
size and font size.  

Also, if you have a plus size device, make certain that the Reach ability 
feature is disabled.  

One more thing, assuming that the display settings have not been modified, the 
next troubleshooting step I would take would be to find a sighted person, 
disable VoiceOver, and see if the sighted person can move forward with the 
purchasing process. 

Good Luck,

Mark

Hey guys,
Well, this is most certainly a problem, i confirmed it through apple 
accessibility.
Even after updating my IOS, deleting the app and re-installing it, you can no 
longer get past the address.  Basicly, the button that says select this address 
button, you an no longer double tap on it, it does nothing.

 Well, a couple of ideas. If you're really good at remembering locations of 
 buttons, you could turn voiceover off and tap the button. Or, what I would 
 probably do, go to Safari and Amazon and place the order from there. 
 That's generally what I do anyway, as I find the Amazon app is  nothing 
 great. The Safari experience on the phone with the Amazon site is really 
 pretty good in my opinion.
