Adding English Speaking Voices for VoiceOver

[Bill Gallik]

OK, I’m sure this can be done because I did it on my iPhone 5 several years 
ago, but dang if I can remember how I did it.

What I’m talking about is adding alternative English speaking voices for 
VoiceOver on iOS.  I’m not referring to changing the dialect; say from English 
U.S. to English UK.  What I’m referring to is installing and assigning a 
different U.S. English voice.  For reasons I’ll refrain from discussing here, I 
want to use a male U.S. English voice for my iPhone’s VoiceOver.

Can anybody refresh my memory as how to do this?

Thanks in advance!

languages will now appear on the rotor. if and when you open each language, 
say, US, you can choose between the American voices. Give a shout, if need more

Re: Adding English Speaking Voices for VoiceOver

Thanks to both of you for reminding me of how to do that!

Actually, I had gone to that exact location but didn't listen long enough to 
hear that US English was a button. Had I listen, I wouldn't have needed to 
bother anybody here.

Again, thanks to both of you so very much!

Hello,

Yes there is a list for it. It is for both the iOS and Android versions

I am not sure if you need to put subscribe in the subject line or not. 
Its been a while since I signed up for that list.

What do the lights mean on my Anker charger?

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi,

A couple months ago I bought the Anker 2mAh Portable Charger
PowerCore. Now I need to recharge it for the first time only I don't
know what the lights mean. My sighted husband tells me when I plug in
the Anker it shows a flashing blue light. Does this mean it's
charging? When the unit is fully recharged will the lights go out?
What does the button on the side do?

I tried searching for some user documentation, but couldn't find
anything. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Kimber

  If you sync your phone with iTunes, you can tell iTunes that certain files 
are to be treated as books. You can even set things up so that your iPhone 
remembers the position in the file. If you select multiple files at once, you 
can even do the changes in batches. I think the command to get into the info 
editor thing is still control+i. Hope this helps.

   

  Like another poster mentioned, you can always put the books as a zip file 
into Dropbox and open them in Voice Dream Reader. Also, if the book only has a 
few files, and they're quite long, you can always just drop the mp3's directly 
into Dropbox without zipping them first, then import them into VDR. I do this 
with GraphicAudio books, which tend to have rather long files.

Here is the Text of the User Manual for the Nearby Explorer, for iOS, GPS Navigation App

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,  

I must say that I am extremely impressed with the Nearby Explorer, for iOS, GPS 
navigation app, developed by the American Printing House for the Blind.  

So, for your convenience, in either enjoying the app or determining whether or 
not to purchase it, I am pasting in the complete text of its user manual, below 
my signature line.

A couple of things to note, however:

1.
Currently, this app only supports navigation in the United States and Canada.  

2.
At the time of this post, the cost of the app is, in the U.S. App Store anyway, 
$79.99.

3.
In order to successfully install the app, which includes its built-in map of 
North America, you must have at least 4GB of free space available on your iOS 
device.

4.
The direct URL to the online user manual, which includes a in-page hyperlinked 
table of contents, omitted in this post, is:
http://tech.aph.org/ne/index.html

5.
I have not edited the contents of this text in any way.  I simply copied the 
text from the website; therefore some of the formatting may not be consistent 
with the HTML version of the manual.

Finally, to you old-timers out there, I am delighted to report that this app 
reminds me a great deal of the groundbreaking, GPS navigation solution for the 
blind and low vision that started it all; I am referring, of course, to Code 
Factory’s Mobile Geo.  

Okay, on to the show.  

Enjoy and Happy & Safe Traveling,

Mark

Nearby Explorer for iOS User's Guide

Copyright 2016

American Printing House for the Blind, Inc.

2016/8/19

Introduction

When sighted people use a global positioning system (GPS), their main interests 
are getting directions and/or guidance to a destination. Blind users appreciate 
these features as well, but generally desire more orientation queues than are 
available on commercial GPS apps. Nearby Explorer is a GPS app designed to 
provide these queues. When combined with an accessible interface and 
customizable, current information about points of interest (POIs), the tools 
provide a meaningful picture of the vicinity and its characteristics.

Nearby Explorer works by:
1.displaying a screen containing several geography-related categories, letting 
you turn on the ones of interest (announced as you move). You can put the phone 
to sleep and continue receiving feedback or examine the values on the screen.
2.letting you orient the phone in various positions to get more targeted 
information about: ◦points of interest (POIs),
◦direction and streets, and
◦the closest point of interest.

3.providing descriptive details such as: ◦intersection configurations as you 
approach,
◦transit stop next time, direction of travel, and head sign for systems in over 
30 metro areas,
◦distance and adjustable direction to POIs, and
◦adjustable scope for prominence and proximity for POI announcements.

 
Features

The information that Nearby Explorer provides helps the blind traveler stay 
oriented. It shows surrounding and approaching streets, businesses, 
institutions, and public facilities, and offers continually updating distance 
and directional information to the nearest or selected location.

Nearby Explorer provides a sense of the surrounding streets and their 
relationship to the user's current position. Additionally, it enables the 
passenger in a vehicle to aid the driver with directions and suggestions.
 
About This Manual

This documentation was complete and accurate at the time of its writing. When 
there are updates or corrections, you may find them at 
http://tech.aph.org/ne_info.htm.

There is also an email list dedicated to the use of this app. This is the place 
to make suggestions, provide tips, and ask questions. To subscribe to the list, 
send a blank email to ne-subscr...@tech.aph.org.
Adventurous users may wish to test upcoming features. To get more information, 
join the beta list by sending a blank email to 
"neios_beta-subscr...@tech.aph.org"mailto:neios_beta-subscr...@tech.aph.org.

For the purposes of this documentation, wherever possible, APH assumes your 
basic knowledge of Voiceover (VO) and does not, with rare exception, convey 
information in VO terminology. For example, a VO user, must know that you 
double tap an option to turn it on. For basics on VoiceOver, see 
https://www.apple.com/accessibility/ios/voiceover/
 
Limitations

To better understand the benefits and limitations of Nearby Explorer, it is 
useful to obtain a basic understanding of how the technology works.

There are several components in play. Two of the most important are GPS and 
maps.
 
GPS

The mobile device (phone or tablet) uses a GPS receiver to read signals sent 
from an array of satellites designed for this purpose. The receiver uses these 
signals to pinpoint a position on earth and assign lateral and longitudinal 
coordinates to that position. In general, a good consumer-grade receiver can 
render accuracy to within a few yards of a person's actual position under 
optimal conditions. More realistically, you c

RE: What do the lights mean on my Anker charger?

[Alan Lemly]

Hi Kimber,

Although I have the Anker® Astro E1 5200mAh Ultra Compact Portable Charger 
External Battery Power Bank with PowerIQ™ Technology external battery, I 
suspect it works in similar fashion to your model.

My Anker charger has a series of 4 blue LED lights that are near the top flat 
face-up side when the charger is lying on a table with the regular sized USB 
female port on the left top edge, the micro USB port on the right top edge, and 
the power button on the top of the right long edge. These lights indicate the 
level the unit is charged. Mine just illuminated when I pressed the power 
button without any cables connected but I seldom use the power button because 
mine will power on automatically when it is being charged by plugging its micro 
USB cable into the micro port on the end of the battery and  plugging the full 
sized USB end into a standard USB port providing the power for charging. I just 
tested this and since my charger is almost fully charged, 3 of the blue LED 
lights burn constantly while the 4th one indicating the remaining charge 
blinked. I believe all 4 burn constantly when the unit is fully charged and it 
has safeguards built into it so that it powers off and doesn't over-charge. My 
charger also powers off automatically after not being used for whatever the 
built-in time period is.

To  charge my iPhone with my Anker, I plug the iPhone's lightning cable into 
the full sized USB port of the Anker which causes it to power on automatically 
and the small lightning end into my iPhone. As I mentioned previously, after 
all cables are disconnected from the Anker, it will power off automatically 
after the built-in set time period.

I suspect yours will work in a similar fashion but please post back if you have 
other questions.

Alan Lemly

Subject: What do the lights mean on my Anker charger?

Hi,

A couple months ago I bought the Anker 2mAh Portable Charger PowerCore. Now 
I need to recharge it for the first time only I don't know what the lights 
mean. My sighted husband tells me when I plug in the Anker it shows a flashing 
blue light. Does this mean it's charging? When the unit is fully recharged will 
the lights go out?
What does the button on the side do?

I tried searching for some user documentation, but couldn't find anything. Any 
help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Kimber

Swift playground on an iPhone.

[Sadam Ahmed]

Hi all,

My Uni  will be running a short course on iOS development in the Spring 
and I was wondering if I'd be able to use my 6s to run the app or will I 
need to dust off my iPad Mini 2?


Since it's in beta at the moment   I appreciate if not many responses 
are forth coming.


Any feedback very welcome.

Yours sincerely,

Sadam

RE: What do the lights mean on my Anker charger?

[Kevin Minor]

Hi Kimberly.

The button on your Anker serves two purposes, at least it does on mine.  If you 
briefly press and release it, it displays the level of charge for your Anker.  
If, on the other hand, you press and hold the button for a second or two, on my 
charger it activates an LED flashlight.  To turn this off, hold the button on 
the Anker for a second or so.  This is what my unit does.  I don't know if 
older Anker models do this, the flashlight feature.

As for the manual, it's not much help, and when I went looking for my model of 
battery, it wasn't on the web to be found.  I called up Anker, and, sure 
enough, it wasn't on the internet to find.  I was sent a .PDF version, and that 
was very cryptic, even after running OCR on it..

Have a blessed day, and don't work too hard.

Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY

Deleting Email

[kelby carlson]

All,

How can you delete Google mail off of the iPhone in the regular mail
app without the email also going to the trash on the server? I have
the settings set up so that it should go to the archive, but that
doesn't seem to work.

Re: iPhone battery cycles

[Donald L. Roberts]

Mary, I cannot answer your question specifically; however, I have an old 
3GS which I sometimes use as an internet radio, and the battery in that 
thing is still going strong. Although I am not its original owner, as 
far as I know, the battery has never been replaced.

RE: Nearby Explorer is now in the iOS app store

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Joe,

Whether it goes on sale or not is anybody’s guess, I could say “Sure, I’m sure 
it will at some point” or “No, no way it will go on sale” and both statements 
would probably be true.
You can save 20% simply by checking on iTunes gift card deals. It is back to 
school season and I wouldn’t be surprised if various retailers or eBay had a 
20% off deal somewhere, if you can find one you can get it for $63.99 instead 
of $79.99.
Otherwise, if you aren’t in a hurry, just wait until Christmas, if it does go 
on sale there is a good chance it may happen by then or around Black 
Friday/Cyber Monday time.

Regards,
Sieghard

Does anyone foresee the app going on sale at some point? Sorry, I know that 
makes me seem like a total cheapskate. I really want to support the app at its 
full value for all the development that went into it, but in trying to manage 
my finances, I’m curious as to whether or not the app has ever gone on sale on 
the Android market. Thanks in advance! And, feel free to chastise me if you 
think I’m being unreasonable. :)

According to what I've read, Nearby Explorer uses Navteq maps for the onboard 
maps and in the details on the app store, you need at least 4GB of free space 
to download the maps, so be sure you have that before purchasing.

It uses other sources to supplement the onboard maps.

Here is some info from the Navteq frequently asked questions.

If Nearby uses Openstreetmap, it’s even more strange that it doesn’t cover

Re: Apple Music and Spotify

[Mary Otten]

 You can always get premium, which takes away all limitations and ads. I wish 
they would specify all of the differences somewhere in the app. Apparently 
downloading requires premium. And I gather that you can get higher quality if 
you're using premium. But I haven't seen a list of all those things. I wish 
there was one maybe I'm missing it.

Hi, That's another thing, about the adds, but on the phone, you can only switch

RE: iPhone battery cycles

[Sieghard Weitzel]

That is one good experience, a friend of mine had a 3GS which I believe came 
out in 2009 and when he bought a 5S in 2013 he mostly did so because he got 
about half an hour battery from his 3GS and that would have been after 4 years.

RE: Apple Music and Spotify

And one thing Spotify does not give you is SIRI control. I love how I can 
simply tell Apple Music on my iPhone or Apple TV what I want to listen to.

Hello everyone.

While I am committed to Apple Music as am subscribed to the family plan, I’m 
sorry, but wow! Spotify is now completely accessible from what I can see. The

app of the month so thought to check out the latest version and am amazed so

countless times before, and there was always something missing with the app. 
That seems to now be a thing of the past. As for membership, the free one will

Please, I need help with "Booking.com" app

[Mária Orovčíková]

Hello list,

please, does anyone have experience with "Booking.com" app?

I don't know at all how to see the list of hotels in general or to find 
hotels in a particular city/town to book


I just installed the app because there are hotels from all around the 
world including Slovakia.


In case someone knows how to use this app, please, give me step-by-step 
instruction or if there is some other app like "Booking.com" available 
and accessible with Voiceover, please let me know.


Thank you for your help in advance.

With kind regards

RE: Deleting Email

[M. Taylor]

Hello Kelby,

To be honest, I do not understand the logic of your question.  

Generally speaking, one wants deleted emails to go to the Trash folder on the 
Google server.  One benefit of doing this is that the message can be retrieved, 
if necessary.  

As for Google, assuming you have configured  your gMail account accordingly, 
messages in the Trash folder will be automatically deleted after 30 days.

How can you delete Google mail off of the iPhone in the regular mail app 
without the email also going to the trash on the server? I have the settings 
set up so that it should go to the archive, but that doesn't seem to work.

RE: Please, I need help with "Booking.com" app

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Years ago I took the time to contact Booking.com and tell them about 
accessibility issues with their app. They were very responsive and fixed things 
nicely. I have, however, not used the app in quite a long time since I usually 
use the hotels.com app or Expedia. Both are accessible and there is also the 
app "Kayak" and I believe I saw a recent Podcast on it either on Applevis or 
Cool Blind Tech. Hotels.com has a rewards program where you get a free night 
stay if you book 10 nights with hotels.com.

RE: Apple Music and Spotify

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

Hi,

I’ve searched for some albums on AppleMusic and came up with nothing. Some of 
the albums were on Spotify.

This happens infrequently. I used to have Spotify Premium, but canceled it when 
AppleMusic became available within Sonos. I’ve kept the Spotify account open 
within Sonos, so I can see when they have an album and AppleMusic doesn’t when 
I do a Search within Sonos. But, having no active Sonos account any more, I 
can’t access that. If I get to a point that I really want to listen to the 
music Spotify offers that AppleMusic appears to not, then I can always 
reactivate my Spotify Premium. But for now, I’m mostly satisfied with 
AppleMusic.

Thanks Mark for posting this.

It inspired me to convert the guide to ePub for those who would like to have it

I've only given it a brief test, but it looks like it worked.

Subject: Here is the Text of the User Manual for the Nearby Explorer, for iOS, 
GPS Navigation App

Hello Everyone,  

I must say that I am extremely impressed with the Nearby Explorer, for iOS, GPS 
navigation app, developed by the American Printing House for the Blind.  

So, for your convenience, in either enjoying the app or determining whether or 
not to purchase it, I am pasting in the complete text of its user manual, below 
my signature line.

A couple of things to note, however:

1.
Currently, this app only supports navigation in the United States and Canada.  

2.
At the time of this post, the cost of the app is, in the U.S. App Store anyway, 
$79.99.

3.
In order to successfully install the app, which includes its built-in map of 
North America, you must have at least 4GB of free space available on your iOS 
device.

4.
The direct URL to the online user manual, which includes a in-page hyperlinked 
table of contents, omitted in this post, is:
http://tech.aph.org/ne/index.html

5.
I have not edited the contents of this text in any way.  I simply copied the 
text from the website; therefore some of the formatting may not be consistent 
with the HTML version of the manual.

Finally, to you old-timers out there, I am delighted to report that this app 
reminds me a great deal of the groundbreaking, GPS navigation solution for the 
blind and low vision that started it all; I am referring, of course, to Code 
Factory’s Mobile Geo.  

Okay, on to the show.  

Enjoy and Happy & Safe Traveling,

Mark

Nearby Explorer for iOS User's Guide

Copyright 2016

American Printing House for the Blind, Inc.

2016/8/19

Introduction

When sighted people use a global positioning system (GPS), their main interests 
are getting directions and/or guidance to a destination. Blind users appreciate 
these features as well, but generally desire more orientation queues than are 
available on commercial GPS apps. Nearby Explorer is a GPS app designed to 
provide these queues. When combined with an accessible interface and 
customizable, current information about points of interest (POIs), the tools 
provide a meaningful picture of the vicinity and its characteristics.

Nearby Explorer works by:
1.displaying a screen containing several geography-related categories, letting 
you turn on the ones of interest (announced as you move). You can put the phone 
to sleep and continue receiving feedback or examine the values on the screen.
2.letting you orient the phone in various positions to get more targeted 
information about: ◦points of interest (POIs),
◦direction and streets, and
◦the closest point of interest.

3.providing descriptive details such as: ◦intersection configurations as you 
approach,
◦transit stop next time, direction of travel, and head sign for systems in over 
30 metro areas,
◦distance and adjustable direction to POIs, and
◦adjustable scope for prominence and proximity for POI announcements.

 
Features

The information that Nearby Explorer provides helps the blind traveler stay 
oriented. It shows surrounding and approaching streets, businesses, 
institutions, and public facilities, and offers continually updating distance 
and directional information to the nearest or selected location.

Nearby Explorer provides a sense of the surrounding streets and their 
relationship to the user's current position. Additionally, it enables the 
passenger in a vehicle to aid the driver with directions and suggestions.
 
About This Manual

This documentation was complete and accurate at the time of its writing. When 
there are updates or corrections, you may find them at 
http://tech.aph.org/ne_info.htm.

There is also an email list dedicated to the use of this app. This is the place 
to make suggestions, provide tips, and ask questions. To subscribe to the list, 
send a blank email to ne-subscr...@tech.aph.org.
Adventurous users may wish to test upcoming features. To get more information, 
join the beta list by sending a blank email to

For the purposes of this documentation, wherever possible, APH assumes your 
basic knowledge of Voiceover (VO) and does not, with rare exception, convey 
information in VO terminology. For example, a VO user, must know that you 
double tap an option to turn it on. For basics on VoiceOver, see

nearby explorer for IOS pod cast

[Mike Arrigo]

Hey everyone, ok, here is my pod cast about the new nearby explorer app. I need 
to make a correction, in the pod cast, the program does not announce what side 
the destination is on and I had thought this was not in the program yet. It 
actually is, but there are times when the program cannot determine what side

Hello, remember, though, Siri is now going to be opened up for third party 
apps, so that could well be possible soon enough.

 Yes, it will be opened up for certain limited categories of apps to start

Re: Please, I need help with "Booking.com" app

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Maria,

First, choose Search, and type in your destination. You probably only need to 
type in part of it. Then find the location you want in the list of search 
results, and double-tap.

Next, pick the dates of your stay. There are buttons for Today or Tomorrow, and 
a calendar for picking dates. Double-tap the date you want to start, and then 
choose the Select Checout Date button near the bottom of the screen. Then 
double-tap the date when you want to check out. The dates you have chosen 
appear at the bottom of the screen labeled, "Select these dates."

In the upper middle portion of the screen, there is now a table that is not 
labeled as such. The headings are Room, meaning number of rooms you want, 
adults, and children. The assumption is 1 room, 2 adults, and no children. To 
change any of these, double-tap the number. A More Options screen will open 
with these three numbers on it, with each followed by - and + buttons. Make the 
changes you want, and choose the Apply button in the upper right.

Now, there's a Show button in the middle of the screen. Press that to get to 
the search results.

I hope that helps you get started. The app can be wordy at times, but it's 
quite accessible.

Best,
Anna

A11y of HomeKit Accessories | AppleVis

[Kevin Chao]

http://www.applevis.com/forum/hardware-accessories/a11y-homekit-accessories

GIven in i/watch/tvOS 10, we no longer have to be concerned with
third-party HomeKit apps with varying-level of VoiceoVer accessibility.

I was wondering if there has been consideration for a repro/dir, where we
can submit, view, and comment on our accessibility experience of HomeKit
hardware accessories?

I could also see this forum being able to provide eyes-free tips and tricks
of setup and usage of HomeKit hardware accessories.

What do you think?

Re: nearby explorer for IOS pod cast

[Kimberly Samco]

Hi Mike,

Thank you for this incredible podcast and taking your time to do such an 
informative demo!

I have 2 questions although one is just a general one.  

Are any of the onboard maps of any South American countries?

My basic question is, I've always wondered what "containers" are on the rotor.

thanks again,

Kim

RE: nearby explorer for IOS pod cast

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the podcast.

One question.  Does it make a difference if you set a place to be watched as 
opposed to a destination?

Thanks,

RE: Apple Music and Spotify

[Sieghard Weitzel]

It will be available for third party apps, but it is going to be restricted at 
least for now. Here is an excerpt from an article on 9to5 Mac:

For iOS 10.0, the Siri API will only work with six kinds of application:
ride booking (think Uber)
Messaging
Photo Search (find photos and videos in a particular app)
Payments (‘Send $100 to John with SquareCash’)
VoIP Calling (e.g: Skype)
Workouts (for starting health and fitness activities)

The experience for users should be great as long as you are wanting to use 
these types of third-party apps in Siri as Apple handles the complex voice 
understanding. Users must form questions with nouns like ‘WeChat’ to indicate 
they want to interact with a third-party app.
The SiriKit response API's are flexible enough to allow these apps to reply 
with custom, rich, UI. Users will be able to complete their task inline to the 
Siri conversation interface; you don’t have to jump into an app.
However, the way this system is structured it leaves a lot of apps shut out, in 
the cold. Out of the 2 million apps in the App Store, how many fall under the 
support of the six categories? This is the primary downside of the system Apple 
devised.
Some major classes of application are not covered by the third-party Siri SDK 
which Siri is often used for: music apps, podcast apps, sport statistics, 
email, reminders and to-do lists and more. It’s unclear how this will be 
policed too: could an email app class itself as a text message app to slip into 
the Siri experience? This seems like a controversial area for App Review come 
September.
In future versions of iOS, it is reasonable to expect Apple to expand the 
number of app types that can integrate with Siri. iOS 10.1 could easily add a 
couple new kinds of integration. However, will it expand into certain areas 
that it wants to dominate with first-party services?
An obvious omission from the Siri iOS 10 implementation is third-party 
integration for media apps like music streaming.
With iOS 10, Apple Music will be the only way to play audio via Siri. Apple 
probably loves this but for users of competing music services, there is no 
ability for developers to be able to add Siri integration. Apps like Spotify, 
Pandora and Google Pay Music are left in the cold. Apple could add a new music 
media type for Siri SDK in future but will they? Will they keep it closed to 
boost up its own $9.99 streaming service, Apple Music?
This is an open question: we will have to wait and see how quickly Apple ramps 
the Siri SDK and expands the base of possible apps. For the public, Siri SDK 
launches with iOS 10 in the fall.

Sieghard

Hello, remember, though, Siri is now going to be opened up for third party

No opinions here, just an option to have at your disposal. Someone posted a 
very good scenario where an album isn’t available on Apple Music but is 
available on Spotify and vice versa.

Re: Apple Music and Spotify

Hello, HMM, maybe because that's what I tried it on first? Just a guess. I've 
learned on an iPad, and so have gotten used to the worse, in many cases, before 
the better.

Hi! I have the GrubHub app, and it is very accessible with voiceover. The 
developers want this app to be accessible, so feedback is always welcome.

Re: converting mp3 books for the iPhone

[englishrider91]

Two interesting things I've found with VDR.
1. You don't have to zip up your mp3 files to to get them into VDR. It's great 
if a book has lots of small files that are only a few minutes long, but if 
they're longer files, like those from GrapicAudio, I don't bother zipping them. 
I just stick the mp3's into Dropbox and follow the same process as you would 
for adding a zipped book into VDR.
2. VDR can apparently handle m4a files. I have a sample of Ivona Amy that 
someone (I think it was Richard Turner from this list) gave me, and it's in m4a.


Thanks,
Ari

RE: What do the lights mean on my Anker charger?

[Jeremy]

I still suggest you RTFM since you don't know that the person's information 
below will apply to you. It might since it is the same manufacturer, but how do 
you know for sure since it it not the same model and small differences can be 
significant. When purchasing an item such as this one, you first read up on it 
via Amazon.com customer comments and such and not just purchase because 
everyone else is purchasing it. You then run a search for the owner's manual 
because you can't rely on everyone else's generosity when you have a 
question--try to build your independence. You will find your computer 
competency will grow and therefore make life easier on you if you learn how to 
learn.

Re: Search function on Calendar app is crap!

[englishrider91]

Mark, I'll give things a shot again. I'm confused, however, about what you mean 
by you have your calendar set to sync as far back as possible. Do you use 
Google Calendar? Or have the iOS calendar set to sync with iCloud or something?


Thanks,
Ari

Re: Search function on Calendar app is crap!

[englishrider91]

I just tried again, and no go! What on Earth! The list view thing says 
selected, so it should be on, right? And I know it's not an issue of the search 
function not working in reverse, because it's found other things from before 
today with another search I ran. I'm very certain I put these appointments into 
my calendar. I remember seeing them before. I just can't find them now! Arrgh!


Thanks,
Ari

Basically, you control how far back you keep calendar events on your device by 
how far back you sync it with iCloud.
You can choose to sync all past events, or for a specific amount of time 
depending on what you choose in your settings.

Hope this helps,

Chris

 I typed in multiple words I know I put into an appointment title, and 
 search isn't finding the appointment. I can't remember when I scheduled 
 the appointment. I'm super frustrated! The search function has found other 
 appointments no problem. This one, for some reason, though, is causing 
 issues. I made an appointment for when I started my dog on his new food, 
 and I wanted to see how long he's been on it now' and I can't find that 
 appointment. I also can't find the appointment related to him using his 
 new bowl for the first time. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. This 
 is driving me nuts!

Re: Search function on Calendar app is crap!

[englishrider91]

Thank you and Mark a ton! Oh, my goodness! I had a problem like this with an 
Exchange account I have for work! It never occured to me that this could be the 
exact same issue, but with the calendar this time instead of the Exchange 
account! I can't even remember how I figured that one out lol.

I've now found both appointments! I'm so happy now! Yay! I now know how long my 
dog's had his new bowl, and how long he's been 100 percent on his new food! Lol 
it probably seems like such a little thing, but I can't stop smiling!


Thanks,
Ari

RE: What do the lights mean on my Anker charger?

[Jeremy]

Because Alan provided an exact model number, here's what I found: 

Website info for power pack with specifications and user comments: 
Anker | Astro E1 5200mAh Portable Charger | Black - 
https://is.gd/7P6WXW

YouTube video demo describing features and purpose of lights on power pack: 
Anker Astro E1 5200mAh Ultra Compact Portable Charger External Battery Power 
Bank - YouTube - 
https://is.gd/KJLP75

All took about 5 minutes in totoal to lookup. 

Many questions can be quickly and easily answered via a quick search if people 
take the time to research answers for themselves rathewr than putting the 
simple chore such as this one on someone else. This is not always the best 
solution, but for about 95% of questions asked on these lists, it definitely is 
a great solution. Guess I'm suggesting blind people at least try rather than 
taking the easy way out and asking someone else to do things for them.

Subject: RE: What do the lights mean on my Anker charger?

Hi Kimber,

Although I have the Anker® Astro E1 5200mAh Ultra Compact Portable Charger 
External Battery Power Bank with PowerIQ™ Technology external battery, I 
suspect it works in similar fashion to your model.

My Anker charger has a series of 4 blue LED lights that are near the top flat 
face-up side when the charger is lying on a table with the regular sized USB 
female port on the left top edge, the micro USB port on the right top edge, and 
the power button on the top of the right long edge. These lights indicate the 
level the unit is charged. Mine just illuminated when I pressed the power 
button without any cables connected but I seldom use the power button because 
mine will power on automatically when it is being charged by plugging its micro 
USB cable into the micro port on the end of the battery and  plugging the full 
sized USB end into a standard USB port providing the power for charging. I just 
tested this and since my charger is almost fully charged, 3 of the blue LED 
lights burn constantly while the 4th one indicating the remaining charge 
blinked. I believe all 4 burn constantly when the unit is fully charged and it 
has safeguards built into it so that it powers off and doesn't over-charge. My 
charger also powers off automatically after not being used for whatever the 
built-in time period is.

To  charge my iPhone with my Anker, I plug the iPhone's lightning cable into 
the full sized USB port of the Anker which causes it to power on automatically 
and the small lightning end into my iPhone. As I mentioned previously, after 
all cables are disconnected from the Anker, it will power off automatically 
after the built-in set time period.

I suspect yours will work in a similar fashion but please post back if you have 
other questions.

Hi,

A couple months ago I bought the Anker 2mAh Portable Charger PowerCore. Now 
I need to recharge it for the first time only I don't know what the lights 
mean. My sighted husband tells me when I plug in the Anker it shows a flashing 
blue light. Does this mean it's charging? When the unit is fully recharged will 
the lights go out?
What does the button on the side do?

I tried searching for some user documentation, but couldn't find anything. Any 
help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Re: Apple Music and Spotify

[Sharonda Greenlaw]

One thing that I like with Spotify is that if I choose not to have the
premium version, I can still retain my playlists. With Apple Music, if
I no longer keep my subscription, I will no longer have access to the
music that I have grown to love. In fact, even the radio is
unavailable. *sad*

Re: Grubhub ap

[Kathy Brandt]

I hope the latest update fixed how it was that you could be putting together an 
order, but then when you got to putting special instructions or adding an item 
to the cart that was really deep in the menu, the app would crash, and the 
order would be completely lost, such that if you risk putting items in your 
cart again, the same thing could happen. My last efforts at explaining this Met 
with no results, even when I sent a hardcopy letter to the company CEO; before 
the update, a rep did write saying that they knew there were problems with the 
app, and she advised me to place my orders through Safari, which had its own 
issues, but at least I could place an order.

Re: Grubhub ap

[Marie Lyons]

I have used it about 3 times. I did find it accessible. It’s really cool as 
they send you an email with your updated arrival time. I’m not sure that my 
experience with the places in my area would be useful to you. Some of them have 
wanted a minimum purchase of $30 which if fine when there are 2 or more people. 
I am only 1, though. The food comes nice and hot. One time the person came to

Re: Grubhub ap

I will confess I'm quite surprised to hear so many people call this
app accessible. I am encountering many unlabeled buttons and extremely
sluggish response times. it is also difficult to easily navigate from
restaurant to restaurant in the search results.

RE: calendar

[Richard Turner]

Some people find the native Calendar app just fine.

I personally prefer Fantastical 2 for the iPhone.

I find it better to use for many reasons.  It draws all your appointments from 
the native iPhone app so if you set an appointment with Siri, it shows up in 
Fantastical.
But, the biggest advantage is that I like the way it displays your appointments 
better and if you write a logical sentence in the create an event field, it 
puts the information in correctly.
Something like:
Dr. Jones on September 9 at 10:00 AM
Or,
Book club on the second Friday of every month at 7:00 PM.

account! I can't even remember how I figured that one out lol.

I've now found both appointments! I'm so happy now! Yay! I now know how long my

it probably seems like such a little thing, but I can't stop smiling!

 I typed in multiple words I know I put into an appointment title, and 
 search isn't finding the appointment. I can't remember when I scheduled 
 the appointment. I'm super frustrated! The search function has found other 
 appointments no problem. This one, for some reason, though, is causing 
 issues. I made an appointment for when I started my dog on his new food, 
 and I wanted to see how long he's been on it now' and I can't find that 
 appointment. I also can't find the appointment related to him using his 
 new bowl for the first time. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. This 
 is driving me nuts!

Re: nearby explorer for IOS pod cast

If you set a place to be watched, it will probably tell you how close you are

Mike, this podcast is great as was the earlier one you did for the Android

Subject: nearby explorer for IOS pod cast

Hey everyone, ok, here is my pod cast about the new nearby explorer app. I 
need to make a correction, in the pod cast, the program does not announce 
what side the destination is on and I had thought this was not in the 
program yet. It actually is, but there are times when the program cannot 
determine what side the destination is on. I did suggest to the developers 
that the program should provide a message if that is the case, enjoy.

Qardio blood pressure cuff.

[Mr. Ed]

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let everyone know I purchased a Qardio blood pressure cuff from
Ebay. They had them for around $44.00 with free shipping. So if you are
interested in one you better jump on this deal. The prices on Ebay ran from
$44.00  and up. They are around $99.00 at Amazon and Target.

Re: Swift playground on an iPhone.

[Sadam Ahmed]

It's a shame that it won't run on the iPhone but I'm guessing the app 
takes advantage of something in the hardware that the phone hasn't got.


Sent them feedback requesting that they consider making it available for 
the iPhone so we'll see if it comes to fruition.
