I've heard a lot of very good things about this app. I'm wondering if 
one can filter out voice over if you're trying to work with the phone 
while you're recording something? I've heard people make recordings and 
switch through different beds and background tracks on their phones. So 
I'm wondering how this can be done using voice over? Also are there any 
podcasts of demos of other blind users using this app?

Logitech K811 Keyboard and Appl Music Subscription Questions

[Helga Schreiber]

Hi all! How are you all? I have some questions.   I have an  apple Wireless 
Bluetooth keyboard that I bought from the apple store three years ago, but 
since now I have an iPod, an ipad and  iphone,  I want to buy a keyboard that 
allow me to paired three apple devices at the same time. I heard about the 
Logitech K811 Keyboard, which is similar to the apple wireless keyboard, where 
can I purchase it and how much it cost? Do any stores sell it without 
purchasing  it   online? Just wondering. And my other question, I'm considering 
in subscribing to apple music, but I heard that  apple music has the student 
discount, and since I'm a university student, I'm interested about that. How do 
I apply for the student discount? Where do I go to apply for that? Just 
wondering. I will really appreciate any help, you  can offer me regarding this 
matter! I look forward in hearing from you soon. Thanks and God bless!

Re: Gestures for copy and paste within the FB app

[Helga Schreiber]

Hi Ryan and  all! Howare you all?  Hey Ryan  to answer your question, I live in 
Boca Raton Florida. And regarding Text selection, yes sometimes when I flick 
right it does not  say that  is selected,  but if you copy and paste it in a 
blank field it  appears the content. I try tht with my topic questions for my 
school paper. I look forward in hearing from you soon. Thanks and God bless!

 Hi Kimber and all! How are you all? So a third finger quadruple is one

 from settings and rotor. Text selection works like this. You go to your
 Voiceover Rotor find text selection, then find the way you want to paste
 your message. There are options like words, characters, lines,and select
 all. I really recommend lines. So once you pick the option yu want, flick
 right to select the line, then flick left to unselect  the line, and
 after you finish selecting the lines you just need   go to the rotor and
 find edit and then paste and that' s it! Hope this helps some! This text

Re: [BlindTech] Toronto teen uses app to give visually-impaired a new look at the world

[Bill Gallik]

Hi All,

After reading this thread I installed iDentifi to see what was going on.  The 
first thing I tried was to take a picture of my left hand reaching out with all 
fingers spread out.  I snapped the photo and waited a couple of seconds, but 
nothing happened.  As was reported in this thread, it tells you the photo was 
taken and then nothing.  But as I was preparing to “Select A Photo” the app 
reported “A raised hand in a long sleeve black shirt.”  That was exactly 
correct as I’m wearing one of my long sleeve black T-shirts.

This piqued my curiosity so I decided to try the ceiling fan just to see what 
would happen; it reported “Dropped 4-bladed ceiling fan."

I suppose it figured the fan was “dropped” because that would probably seem 
likely, but how it knew it was a ceiling fan is more than I can figure!

Then, given the problems reported in this thread, I started “looking at” photos 
from my Camera Roll (most of which are pictures generated while using KNFB 
Reader; iDentifi did not try to read the documents, but accurately reported the 
gist of the formerly scanned documents.  When encountering actual photos of 
objects it was a bit “hit and miss” but I soon realized that those “missed 
photos” were reported as “blurry” by the photo app.

I’m using my 128 GB iPhone 6 with iOS 10.1.1 and I suspect this iDentifi app 
requires a huge amount of space to do what it does (scientists report that our 
vision uses 80% of brain resources) .

I have to wonder if available space on a given iDevice may not be the critical 
resource needed for this app to work properly.  I plan to install iDentifi on 
my iPad II, that iDevice has only 16 GB but I’m going to bed for tonight - will 
be back tomorrow with results on that.

Re: Gestures for copy and paste within the FB app

[Sharonda Greenlaw]

Yeah. I do't think text selection works either in Facebook. You have
to do the three-finger quadruple tap to select and copy to the
clipboard.

Re: A beginner using the iPhone

[Richard Turner]

If the factory defaults are standard, you should be ableturn on VoiceOver by 
triple tapping the hbutton after you power it up.
Note, that it may spechspeak in a variety of languages when you touch the 
screen after that, but just double tap and it should default to your language, 
so if you are in the United States, English, etc.

You may want to get the book, Getting started with the iPhone from National 
Braille Press which can be downloaded in word format, and other formats.
She walks you through from the beginning and more.

RE: How can I change my apple ID without loosing my purchased items?

[Cris Ali]

Thanks folks,
Your suggestion and advice was very helpful.  I changed my apple ID email 
address and things seem to be normal.
I have another question though, In iOS nine and before, I used to be able to 
access parts of my iPhone as an external drive when I connect it to PC  for 
instance, I used to have access to the photos and videos.  Now in iOS ten, I 
cannot see my iPhone listed as one of the drives when I connect my phone to the 
computer.  Therefore, I no longer have direct simple access to the photos and 
videos as I did in the past.  Is there a setting to make my phone become 
visible again when connected to my computer?

Cheers,
Cris

Hi Chris,

As others have pointed out it is no problem to change your Apple Id. 
Essentially your Apple Id is whatever email address you used when you set it 
up. The only time it would be a problem is if you absolutely cannot get back 
into your old account. If you can log in then do what Pablo suggested, log in 
with your old email address and password, then go to where it says "Change my 
Apple Id" and register your new email address. I think you will get a 
confirmation email you have to acknowledge, but it's pretty self-explanatory 
once you get started.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hello folks,
I want to change my apple id>  However, my understanding is that the apple Id 
is connected to the email address.  I no longer want to keep the same email 
address, which means I will have to change my apple Id.  The problem is that I 
am afraid if I log on to my iPhone and iPad using a new apple id would make me 
lose my purchased apps and books.  I have already invested several hundred 
dollars on these things and I do not wish to lose them, or lose access to 
updates.
Is there a way of changing apple id without causing such a mess?
I appreciate your suggestions>
Regards,

Cris.

Re: Gestures for copy and paste within the FB app

[Ryan Mann]

The last time I tried to use text selection on the FaceBook app, it didn't 
work.  After I switched the rotor to text selection, I flicked right and didn't 
hear anything being selected.  Totally off topic, but where are you in Florida? 
 I live in the Daytona area.

Re: Gestures for copy and paste within the FB app

Hi all! Actually before you find paste on the edit option, first you need to 
copy the text after you select it using text selection, then paste it in the 
place you want to paste the info!

Re: Gestures for copy and paste within the FB app

[Helga Schreiber]

Hi Kimber and all! How are you all? So a third finger quadruple is one way to 
copy. The other way is to use text selection, which you can add it from 
settings and rotor. Text selection works like this. You go to your Voiceover 
Rotor find text selection, then find the way you want to paste your message. 
There are options like words, characters, lines,and select all. I really 
recommend lines. So once you pick the option yu want, flick right to select the 
line, then flick left to unselect  the line, and after you finish selecting the 
lines you just need   go to the rotor and find edit and then paste and that' s 
it! Hope this helps some! This text selection is another  method that appear in 
IOS 9. If you need any help with this let me know! I look  forward in hearing 
from you soon. Thanks and God bless!

Anmol Tukrel, a Grade 12 student at Holy Trinity who designed an app for
blind people that describes things you take photos of with your iPhone or
iPad. (Andrew
Francis Wallace / Toronto Star) |

A Toronto teen is hoping to change the lives of visually impaired people
around the world with a new app that can identify virtually any object 
with

the
quick tap of an iPhone or iPad.

Anmol Tukrel, a 17-year-old grade 12 student at Holy Trinity School in
Richmond Hill, has always been fascinated with technology, particularly
artificial
intelligence. By the time he was in grade 7, he was already teaching 
himself

how to code.

Growing up, Tukrel often travelled to Pune, India to visit his aunt who
worked at the K. K. Eye Institute, a hospital dedicated to providing eye
care for
people who can’t afford it. That experience, combined with an internship 
at
a startup that uses computer vision to make products for advertising 
firms,

led him to the perfect idea for a Canada-Wide Science Fair project.

“I thought I could use computer vision for a more humanitarian use, and 
help

visually impaired people,” he said.

Tukrel’s iPhone app, iDentifi, allows users to take a photo of virtually 
any

object, and then describes that item in great detail back to the user.
People
can also take photos of text and have it read back to them, in one of 27
languages. Tukrel hopes it makes every day tasks — like picking out the 
can

of
pop you want — easier for people who are visually impaired.

Jason Fayre, the head of accessibility and assistive technology at the
Canadian National Institute for the Blind,
tested out the app and, although there are similar apps on the market, 
gave

it a rave review.

“I’m extremely impressed, especially that it was written by a grade 12
person,” he said. As a blind person himself, Fayre said iDentifi would 
make

his
life in easier when trying to identify things in the kitchen.

“If I don’t know what a particular can of something is, being able to take 
a

picture and have that information read back to me in great detail is very
useful,” he said.

It took Tukrel more than a year to develop the app, a process that 
involved
months of painstaking research and enough code to fill a two-inch binder. 
He

had initially planned on making his own convolutional neural network —
computer speak for the data structure used to make the a program that
recognizes
objects. Eventually, he opted to integrate existing programs.

Tukrel casually speaks about computer vision, convolutional neural 
networks,

and application program interfaces as though he were a university graduate
of computer science – not an about-to-graduate high schooler.

“I’ve always liked technology, but as much as I like playing video games 
and
using different apps, I wanted to be able to make them myself,” Tukrel 
said.


For Tukrel, the work doesn’t stop now that the science fair is over.

He has already met with various organizations to get feedback on the app,
and plans on making tweaks to improve the user experience. So far, the app
has
been downloaded by several thousand people and is being used in 60
countries. And, it’s free, something Tukrel doesn’t plan on changing.

“I want people who are visually impaired to use it without thinking of the
financial consequences of doing so,” he said. “We have such great 
technology

and I think it’s important that everyone has access to it.”

  Hi Kimber. How are you? To copy an status,  yu need to do a four fingers 
quadruple tap. In other words, tap four times with four  fingers. And to paste, 
then go to your timeline,and use your Voiceover rotor  and find  edit, an on

RE: info on the IPhone SE

Hi,

Do you know the name of the lanyard case you have?

Hi all,
I have an S EE, which I have had since June. I really like this phone. Your 
wife could get a lanyard case which would go around her neck. I don't know if 
that is something she would like or not. I have the case and it is wonderful. 
It feels like rubber but I think it's actually silicone the iPhone 6 in it, and 
is nicely protected because the screen goes against your body. You can adjust 
the straps so that you don't even have to take it off of your neck to answer 
the phone. This phone according to the Apple representative that I spoke with, 
has everything in it except the 3D Touch, which had recently come out. It is a 
good phone, and I think she would really like it.
God bless,
Wren Langley

Well, it probably depends on the user and what they do with their phone. I 
guess your wife will have to make that decision. I know I don't use it much, 
but I am a blind user used to their Waze. I do use it for a couple of things, 
such as quickly getting rid of all notifications. And I know at least one other 
user on this list to apparently uses it quite a lot. Not much help I guess. I 
suspect it's one of those things if you don't have it, you don't miss it. Maybe 
if you had it in then don't and used it a lot, you would miss it.

Hi Chip,
I recall seeing reports, after the SE was out at first, that the battery life 
there was better than the battery life on the 6S. Not better than the 6S plus, 
but better than the sixs, so it may turn out to be better than seven. I haven't 
seen a comparison.

Don't let the size of the SE fool you. It's small, but this battery packs a 
huge punch. My phone has been on standby for 52 hours and in use for four 
hours. And it's currently at 46 percent on the battery. I have location turned 
off on mine, but this will show you just how awesome the battery life is on 
this phone. The SE is a really good phone. It's the same as the iPhone 5S as 
far as the body of the phone is concerned.

Her concern is the 7 is too large (not the plus, just standard 7); she has 
pants with no pockets, and now she can tuck a flip phone into the wasteband, 
and thinks she’ll be able to do this with an SE, but not with a 7.

 

I am concerned the SE has a less capable battery, and since she’s sighted, a 
screen so small she would have trouble looking things up online, or managing t 
touch what she needed.

 

Can others give me some info (please assume the price is not the primary issue 
here).

 

Thanks,

Re: Seeking step by step on buying a book

[englishrider91]

You're going to have to use the Amazon website, not the app, to buy your Kindle 
book. It's not Amazon's fault. Either Apple takes a 30% cut of the price when 
buying a Kindle book, or they just outright stopped that type of purchase, 
since Apple has iBooks, and wants you to use their platform. Either way, it's 
annoying.


Thanks,
Ari

Direct TV Now is swinging for the fences!  Not only are they offering a free
appleTV4 if you commit to 3 months of service, but for a limited time, you
can get over 100 channels for 35 bucks, and add on HBO and cenamax for only
5 bucks each.   That is huge!  Considering HBO is 15 bucks by itself on
appleTV and other cable providers.  Read more here

Re: info on the IPhone SE

[Mary Otten]

The processor in the 6S is between the seventh and the regular six. So there is 
probably not that much of a difference. I had a 6S and traded it in for a 7+. 
Of course I've had that phone for a little while now, but I don't recall any 
huge increase in perceived speed with the new phone. Much better battery life 
to be sure.

Re: Gestures for copy and paste within the FB app

[Joney]

Unfortunately Kimber, we can't do that yet. Voiceover does not allow us to do 
the copy, and paste. If you're doing it from some other app, you can go in and 
edit, and use the rotor and go down to copy paste. But, since you're not 
editing their comments, it won't let you copy so that you can paste it into a 
new space for yourself.

I find the processor in the 7 substantially faster than the processor in the 6.

Re: Gestures for copy and paste within the FB app

[Kimber Gardner]

The last spoken text really won't help me in this case. What I'm
wanting to do is to copy text in the situation where someone will post
to their status and ask that others copy and paste to their own
status. I'm wondering what would be the easiest way to accomplish
this.

Re: Smart thermostats

[Les Kriegler]

Why you cannot create manual schedules, the auto scheduling feature makes it 
possible for the nest to learn your preferences. I think that makes a big 
difference. I don't know what accessibility was like before, I find it to be 
reasonably good for my needs.

Re: about iWatch

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi,

For one thing, you could use an app like Run Keeper, which uses GPS.  Lots of 
fitness apps could be used without having your phone nearby.  That might be the 
main benefit.

Take care,

Subject: about iWatch

I just talked to apple sales department. I asked them, if the apple watch  
series 2 has gps antenna, so I don’t need my phone around to know where am I?

They said, yes, you don’t need to have your iPhone around to use the gps 
capabilities.

I asked them, ok, if I don’t need my iPhone around to use the gps capabilities, 
I will be able to use maps and for example get the way  to somewhere just 
typing an address?

They said, no, to be able to do that you need to get your phone.

I said, so I don’t understand. What is the reason of that gps antenna then?

You said that I don’t need my iPhone to use the gps capabilities, but you are 
saying now that if I want to go to a store, I need my phone to tell to maps the 
address and start the way ?

So for what reason I want a iWathch with gps antenna?

They couldn’t answer my question.

So really, and I want to think that this lady wasn’t very aware about the apple 
watch . What are the usability of a gps antenna in a apple watch ?

Thanks guys,

Well, I just learned that the nest thermostat is on sale at Best Buy for $199. 
If I had bought it at that price and got a $75 rebate, the cost would've come 
down to $125. Or thereabouts. In any event. That's not bad when you consider 
that $125 for thermostat like the nest is really good price. So if anybody's in 
the market, this would probably be a good week to check on this.

  Hi Les,

   

  That depends entirely on the programs your particular hydro companies are 
running. Here in Canada they do offer rebates on some stuff, but the problem is 
that I already own a smart thermostat so even if they offered a rebate for the 
upgrade from a regular thermostat to a smart thermostat I wouldn’t qualify. I 
just went through this with lights. I had applied for a rebate for upgrading 
all the old florescent tube fixtures at my retail store to LED fixtures and 
thought I also ask the company that put together the quote to include upgrading 
about 80 light bulbs. After an on-sight inspection the hydro company said that 
because I had already changed all my old 75 Watt halogen spotlights to the 
compact florescent versions I would not qualify for upgrading these to LED. 
Both compact florescent and LED are considered energy saving even though the 
compact florescent bulbs use I think 13 or 15 Watts and the equivalent LED 
version only uses 9 Watts, still 40% less over 13 Watts. Anyhow, I still got a 
$760 rebate on a total bill of a bit over $4,000 and while I had hoped for a 
bit more it’s at least about 18% and the new LED fixtures are brighter, put out 
a nicer light and of course there is no more florescent hum, they are totally 
silent.

Re: Apple Watch Series 1 Versus Series 2 Models

[Daniel L. Gervais]

Hi Pam,

I struggled with the same delimma a couple of months ago.  I decided to go for 
the Series 1, as for my situation, it was a better fit.

The first item was the price, in Canada, the Series 1 is $399 while the Series 
2 is $629, about $130 more.

The second item was the brighter screen, being blind, not really a selling 
point.

The third item was the Water Resistance, I know that I don't plan on wearing 
the watch while swimming or showering.

And lastly, the built-in GPS.  Sure you can take walks with the Series 2 and 
don't need to carry your phone, but in my case, my phone is always with me, and 
that coupled with the $130 savings (which I put that towards an AppleCare plan, 
and with taxes, came about $5 less then the Series 2 watch alone before taxes.

As for performance, the Series 1 has the same processor as the Series 2, and 
not haven't played with the Series 2 personally, have heard that they both 
perform similarly.  David Woodbridge from Vision Australia did a demo of the 
original Apple Watch with the Series 2 and although you did notice a very small 
difference in performance, with Watch OS 3, both watches performed fairly close.

Now I've had the watch for a little over two months now and I don't regret it 
for a second.  But like I said, my situation is nothing like others.  The best 
thing I can suggest is to go to an Apple Store and play around with both to see 
for yourself and make a decision based on what works for you and your budget.

As for battery life, I've changed some settings in order to save on battery and 
have only enabled certain notifications, the most important ones I want to see, 
and have decreased the brighthess all the way down, and for me, I will 
typically come home at the end of the day with about 70% to 75%.  Now for me, I 
use the watch normally, occasionally checking my watch from time to time, but 
it will all depend on how you use it.

Hope this helps!

Subject:Apple Watch Series 1 Versus Series 2 Models

Hi All,

I am considering an apple watch, and would like to know if anyone has opinions 
on the Series 1 versus the Series 2 watch.

After researching, it appears that the main differences are that the Series 2 
has a GPS antenna, a brighter display and is water resistent up to a much 
greater depth than the Series 1.

Of the above, the only difference I am concerned with is the GPS.  I have seen 
references to the Series 1 being able to give directions while you walk.  So, 
with the Series 1, is it that you can run a GPS app on the watch, but it needs 
to use the phone's GPS, whereas with the Series 2, you do not need to use your 
phone's GPS?

I would be interested in hearing anyone's experiences with either model.

Thanks,
Pam

Right.  I guess I am trying to understand, with the Series 1, can you run any

the watch rather than having to pull the phone out to do everything?

RE: Apple Watch Series 1 Versus Series 2 Models

[Jim Portillo]

You know, this is very timely.
I am just about to get one as a Christmas gift, and it's the series 1.  I was 
told that the Series 2 doesn't need to have the phone near by to be used 
because of the GPS.

Subject: Apple Watch Series 1 Versus Series 2 Models

Hi All,

I am considering an apple watch, and would like to know if anyone has opinions 
on the Series 1 versus the Series 2 watch.

After researching, it appears that the main differences are that the Series 2 
has a GPS antenna, a brighter display and is water resistent up to a much 
greater depth than the Series 1.

Of the above, the only difference I am concerned with is the GPS.  I have seen 
references to the Series 1 being able to give directions while you walk.  So, 
with the Series 1, is it that you can run a GPS app on the watch, but it needs 
to use the phone's GPS, whereas with the Series 2, you do not need to use your 
phone's GPS?

I would be interested in hearing anyone's experiences with either model.

Thanks,
Pam

iWatch and iPhone?

[Jim Portillo]

Good morning,

 

As a Christmas gift, I'm about to get an iWatch first series edition.  It's
a 38 MM screen, which is fine for me because I'm totally blind.  Are there
any tutorials or is there any advice for me before I go pick it up from the
Apple Store?  I know it has VoiceOver, and that it can work with my iPhone
7, but what will I need to do to set it up?  I think the Apple Store will
help me somewhat, but I know it will help knowing what I need to do.

Is it fairly easy to use, and are the gestures the same using VoiceOver?

Thanks.

Jim

RE: Philips Hue smart lights, WiFi smart switches and Instapod Smart Bluetooth cooking appliance

Sieghard,

 

With regards to Item no. 2, I own several WEMO devices which are made by 
Belcan. The IOS ap is pretty much accessable and allows me to schedule and 
control several devices. I own both wall switches and wall warts, e.g., plug 
into an outlet and control whatever you plug into them. The AP is not great, 
but can be used by a totally blind person after a pretty steep learning curve 
defined by some unlabeled or mislabeled buttons and controls. That is just in 
the scheduling function. Turning things on and off via the ap is completely 
accessable.

Hi,

 

I am grouping a few items together in this message since they all have one 
thing in common, they are Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connected devices which you 
control via an app.

 

I am basically interested in feedback on any or all of them from people who 
have used them. Specifically, here are a few questions I have:

 

1.   Philips Hue: anybody have any of these connected light bulbs and in 
particular how is the SIRI Home Kit integration working? I was hoping I could 
get a deal this weekend, but the only starter kits I saw on sale were the 
second generation ones which have just in the last week or two been replaced 
with the third generation. I think the bridge is actually unchanged, but the 
new third generation bulbs are supposed to reproduce colours a lot more 
accurately.

 

2.   WiFi switches: by these I mean switches you plug into a power wall 
outlet, you then plug in a device (heater, lights, coffee maker etc.) and you 
can turn the connected device on or off via the app or on a schedule. I am 
interested to know what brands people may have bought, does the brand you have 
support home kit and hence SIRI integration?

 

3.   Instapot: this has been discussed before, I think Mary has one. I 
think the app for this was accessible and I was curious as to whether it still 
is, has it become better or worse with respect to Voiceover accessibility and 
are all aspects and features of the app useable?

 

I did find one good deal yesterday, the new Withings Body scale was on sale at 
BestBuy.ca for $99.99 instead of $149.99. I had a $100 Best Buy gift card so 
all it cost me was the taxes. Withings used to have what they called the Smart 
Body Analyzer and it has now been replaced by two new scales, the Body and Body 
Cardio. The Body Cardio also reads your heart rate, but since I have an Apple 
Watch as well as a Qardio Blood Pressure monitor I didn't feel that was very 
necessary. The new scale gives you the usual range of measurements beyond 
weight such as body index, body fat, bone mass etc. It is only three quarters 
of an inch thick and looks very nice, it supports the Apple Health app and once 
I get it and my wife and I have used it I'll share my impressions. This will be 
here just in time to forever record how many pounds of Christmas cookies I eat 
and which somehow stick to my belly *smile*.

 

 

Best regards,

Sieghard

Well, I just learned that the nest thermostat is on sale at Best Buy for $199. 
If I had bought it at that price and got a $75 rebate, the cost would've come 
down to $125. Or thereabouts. In any event. That's not bad when you consider 
that $125 for thermostat like the nest is really good price. So if anybody's in

Hi Les,

That depends entirely on the programs your particular hydro companies are 
running. Here in Canada they do offer rebates on some stuff, but the problem is 
that I already own a smart thermostat so even if they offered a rebate for the 
upgrade from a regular thermostat to a smart thermostat I wouldn’t qualify. I 
just went through this with lights. I had applied for a rebate for upgrading 
all the old florescent tube fixtures at my retail store to LED fixtures and 
thought I also ask the company that put together the quote to include upgrading 
about 80 light bulbs. After an on-sight inspection the hydro company said that 
because I had already changed all my old 75 Watt halogen spotlights to the 
compact florescent versions I would not qualify for upgrading these to LED. 
Both compact florescent and LED are considered energy saving even though the 
compact florescent bulbs use I think 13 or 15 Watts and the equivalent LED 
version only uses 9 Watts, still 40% less over 13 Watts. Anyhow, I still got a 
$760 rebate on a total bill of a bit over $4,000 and while I had hoped for a 
bit more it’s at least about 18% and the new LED fixtures are brighter, put out 
a nicer light and of course there is no more florescent hum, they are totally 
silent.

Amazon.com. Of course the Nest does work wit Alexa and I 
don’t think RadioThermostat.com has that 
integration, but I haven’t checked lately. I have owned three of the Radio 
Thermostats for probably 5 or 6 years now, two are at my retail store and one 
is at home, they are reliable and work, the app is accessible and the only 
criticism I have is that they don’t and don’t plan to implement Apple Home Kit 
support. I will most likely at some point start replacing these with one that 
does offer it, but not at a cost of over $200 canadian, it is after all not 
that difficult to ask SIRI to open the app and to then tap on the appropriate 
button a few times to raise or lower the temperature which is done in half 
degree Celsius increments.

The Sensi is also accessible. I chose this device because it is, supposedly, 
accessible with the Amazon Echo, but I have not yet gotten this part completely 
figured out. The company will provide phone tech support but I have not had the 
time to call. Using the app, I am able to control temperature settings and 
switch from air con to heat; my needs are fairly basic although the Sensi has 
several desirable features.

Hi Darrin,

Do the Belkin Wemo switches and plugs have home kit support, e.g. can you tell

Sieghard,

With regards to Item no. 2, I own several WEMO devices which are made by 
Belcan. The IOS ap is pretty much accessable and allows me to schedule and 
control several devices. I own both wall switches and wall warts, e.g., plug 
into an outlet and control whatever you plug into them. The AP is not great, 
but can be used by a totally blind person after a pretty steep learning curve 
defined by some unlabeled or mislabeled buttons and controls. That is just in 
the scheduling function. Turning things on and off via the ap is completely 
accessable.

Bluetooth cooking appliance

Hi,

I am grouping a few items together in this message since they all have one 
thing in common, they are Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connected devices which you 
control via an app.

I am basically interested in feedback on any or all of them from people who 
have used them. Specifically, here are a few questions I have:


1.   Philips Hue: anybody have any of these connected light bulbs and in 
particular how is the SIRI Home Kit integration working? I was hoping I could 
get a deal this weekend, but the only starter kits I saw on sale were the 
second generation ones which have just in the last week or two been replaced 
with the third generation. I think the bridge is actually unchanged, but the 
new third generation bulbs are supposed to reproduce colours a lot more 
accurately.


2.   WiFi switches: by these I mean switches you plug into a power wall 
outlet, you then plug in a device (heater, lights, coffee maker etc.) and you 
can turn the connected device on or off via the app or on a schedule. I am 
interested to know what brands people may have bought, does the brand you have 
support home kit and hence SIRI integration?


3.   Instapot: this has been discussed before, I think Mary has one. I 
think the app for this was accessible and I was curious as to whether it still 
is, has it become better or worse with respect to Voiceover accessibility and 
are all aspects and features of the app useable?


I did find one good deal yesterday, the new Withings Body scale was on sale at 
BestBuy.ca for $99.99 instead of $149.99. I had a $100 Best Buy gift card so 
all it cost me was the taxes. Withings used to have what they called the Smart 
Body Analyzer and it has now been replaced by two new scales, the Body and Body 
Cardio. The Body Cardio also reads your heart rate, but since I have an Apple 
Watch as well as a Qardio Blood Pressure monitor I didn't feel that was very 
necessary. The new scale gives you the usual range of measurements beyond 
weight such as body index, body fat, bone mass etc. It is only three quarters 
of an inch thick and looks very nice, it supports the Apple Health app and once 
I get it and my wife and I have used it I'll share my impressions. This will be 
here just in time to forever record how many pounds of Christmas cookies I eat 
and which somehow stick to my belly *smile*.


Best regards,
Sieghard

Hi Kimber. How are you? To copy an status,  yu need to do a four fingers

then go to your timeline,and use your Voiceover rotor  and find  edit, an on  
the options of edit is paste and that's it. Hope this helps! I look forward in

Re: info on the IPhone SE

[Kelly Pierce]

Chip,

Another factor to consider is the processor is from 2015.  Apple stops
updating iOS after five years so the SE will no longer receive iOS
updates in 2020, a year shorter than the 7.  It is believed that Apple
will not refresh the SE in 2017.  It is not the size that is different
but the processor is important. I just bought a 7 after owning an
iPhone 5 and don’t find the slightly bigger size that much of a
bother.  I would say that I dropped by my local Apple store here in
Chicago wearing different kinds of shirts and pants to determine if
the standard 6, 6s, or 7 would fit.  It did without a problem.  Staff
at the store were cool with me handling the phone after I told them
what I wanted to learn.

downloaded and installed the Kindle app onto my Phone; as hard as I try to 
double-tap on the PopUp menu of IPhone dd Gera, apparently nothing happens! I 
closed down cnd opened the Amazon app bot nothing seems to work! Also I cant 
find anowhere onscreen the Buy button, except for Add to litss, to which I've 
added the book,ut nothing works to buy the book! Thanks for info; I'm getting 
very frustrated!

I picked the iPad Mini over the iPad Air 2 because I've had a play a

Please I need your help - looking for a charging cable.

[Mária Orovčíková]

Hello list,

please, I am looking for a retractable, short, charging, MFI certified 
cable for my Iphone 6.


If anyone knows of such product, please give me the product link.

My brother is in the U.S. until december 18, so he can buy it for me.

The best shopping option would be Amazon, but if Apple ships around the 
US., it would be fine as well.


Thank you for your help in advance.

With kind regards,

Maria

Re: Smart thermostats

[Les Kriegler]

Has he heard,

Well, I just learned that the nest thermostat is on sale at Best Buy for $199. 
If I had bought it at that price and got a $75 rebate, the cost would've come 
down to $125. Or thereabouts. In any event. That's not bad when you consider 
that $125 for thermostat like the nest is really good price. So if anybody's in 
the market, this would probably be a good week to check on this.

RE: Philips Hue smart lights, WiFi smart switches and Instapod Smart Bluetooth cooking appliance

[Darrin Porter]

Sieghard,

 

With regards to Item no. 2, I own several WEMO devices which are made by 
Belcan. The IOS ap is pretty much accessable and allows me to schedule and 
control several devices. I own both wall switches and wall warts, e.g., plug 
into an outlet and control whatever you plug into them. The AP is not great, 
but can be used by a totally blind person after a pretty steep learning curve 
defined by some unlabeled or mislabeled buttons and controls. That is just in 
the scheduling function. Turning things on and off via the ap is completely 
accessable.

 

Darrin

Subject: Philips Hue smart lights, WiFi smart switches and Instapod Smart 
Bluetooth cooking appliance

 

Hi,

 

I am grouping a few items together in this message since they all have one 
thing in common, they are Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connected devices which you 
control via an app.

 

I am basically interested in feedback on any or all of them from people who 
have used them. Specifically, here are a few questions I have:

 

1.   Philips Hue: anybody have any of these connected light bulbs and in 
particular how is the SIRI Home Kit integration working? I was hoping I could 
get a deal this weekend, but the only starter kits I saw on sale were the 
second generation ones which have just in the last week or two been replaced 
with the third generation. I think the bridge is actually unchanged, but the 
new third generation bulbs are supposed to reproduce colours a lot more 
accurately.

 

2.   WiFi switches: by these I mean switches you plug into a power wall 
outlet, you then plug in a device (heater, lights, coffee maker etc.) and you 
can turn the connected device on or off via the app or on a schedule. I am 
interested to know what brands people may have bought, does the brand you have 
support home kit and hence SIRI integration?

 

3.   Instapot: this has been discussed before, I think Mary has one. I 
think the app for this was accessible and I was curious as to whether it still 
is, has it become better or worse with respect to Voiceover accessibility and 
are all aspects and features of the app useable?

 

I did find one good deal yesterday, the new Withings Body scale was on sale at 
BestBuy.ca for $99.99 instead of $149.99. I had a $100 Best Buy gift card so 
all it cost me was the taxes. Withings used to have what they called the Smart 
Body Analyzer and it has now been replaced by two new scales, the Body and Body 
Cardio. The Body Cardio also reads your heart rate, but since I have an Apple 
Watch as well as a Qardio Blood Pressure monitor I didn't feel that was very 
necessary. The new scale gives you the usual range of measurements beyond 
weight such as body index, body fat, bone mass etc. It is only three quarters 
of an inch thick and looks very nice, it supports the Apple Health app and once 
I get it and my wife and I have used it I'll share my impressions. This will be 
here just in time to forever record how many pounds of Christmas cookies I eat 
and which somehow stick to my belly *smile*.

 

 

Best regards,

Sieghard

You can't use it while shopping. I use it for menus, books, bus stop signs, 
computer screens when troubleshooting and..any other printed materials I may

you have the money to spend it's a great tool to have and the most accurate and

RE: KNFB Reader on the Go

[Tom Rash]

I wouldn't say it is not worth the price.  When the KNFB READER first came out, 
I thought it was a very high price.  After I bought it, I don't regret it at 
all.  It is well worth the price when you have to have that something read.  No 
booting up a computer; no putting the page in a scanner; no big production, 
just lift and snap the picture.

Re: Gestures for copy and paste within the FB app

[Helga Schreiber]

Hi Kimber. How are you? To copy an status,  yu need to do a four fingers 
quadruple tap. In other words, tap four times with four  fingers. And to paste, 
then go to your timeline,and use your Voiceover rotor  and find  edit, an on  
the options of edit is paste and that's it. Hope this helps! I look forward in 
hearing from you soon. Thanks and God bless!
