Organizing photos into albums on Iphone 5s question

[Jan Kleinhans]

Hi all
So, we have an iphone 5s running ios 10.2, and we are wanting to organize 
photos into custome albums.  My question basicly is: can one save photos shared 
via shocial media, like whatsapp, into custome made albums? We have received a 
lot of photos and videos over the festive season, so I create an album called 
"christmas" and another named "new year".  So, to reproduce my steps, which 
would not work in the end I did the following:
I double tapped on the "camera roll" where all the photos are stored by default;
then I double tapped on the "select button" on the screen where all the 
thumbnail photos are displayed;
next I double tapped on each video and photo that I wanted to move;
then I double tapped on the "add to" button, bringing up the list of albums on 
my phone.
Here is where the problem starts: I see the default albums, and the very last 
option is one called "my albums", and I took it that "christmas" and "new year" 
would be part of the "my albums" option.  I can double tap on this "my album" 
option, but nothing happens after that.  I can not see my custome albums, and 
thus the selected photos and videos can not be saved into those albums.  Am I 
missing something here, or can one only save photos taken with the phone into 
the custome albums?  We have receive most of the photos and videos via 
whatsapp, and can always save them, but I can not get them to move into my 
custome albums.

Any help greatly appreciated on this one.

Regards

Jan Kleinhans

Re: Question concerning the native mail app

[TaraPrakash]

There should be an option like search on server. Maybe your phone is looking 
into the downloaded emails. Depending on how you have set it up emails  
wouldn't   show up in native email client

Re: Bluetooth headsets

[Kevin Chao]

LG HBS-1100 has multipoint support and was a deciding factor.
It seemlessly transitions between laptop and phone screen readers. It's
awesome not having to manually re-connect, mess with Bluetooth connection,
and/or wires.
It rest on my neck, so no need to store it, and the earbuds are retractable.

There is a search all mailboxes or search current mailbox. I check all but it

Hello everyone,

Earlier, someone mentioned Overdrive as one of their favorite Apps. I am sorry, 
but i can not remember who it was.

Anyway, i installed the App, chose my library, and entered my information. I 
had to ask my roommate to read me my library card number, as i did not have 
that memorized.

Anyway, after doing all this, i then went and verified my email address. The 
process went smoothly, which was great.

Now, how do i go about reading audiobooks from my library?
I am a bit confused by this. I could see some titles that were recommended. But 
it did not say if they were from my actual library, but from something like, 
Missouri to go.

All i could see were such options as, on hold, wish list, and a couple of other 
options. I just can not remember them now.

Any help with this App would be very much appreciated. I am very excited to try 
this out!

Thank you,

Terri

 Hi Alan,
Line earlier, Terry said that he had the favorite channels all set up and 
didn't have to do any kind of sign in. He didn't have to give them his email 
address or sign in with Facebook or some other thing like Google. Is that true 
for you too? As previously described, when I was in the favorite channels list 
and trying to double tap things to select them, all I got was the screen 
telling me to sign in. When I dismissed it and went back to favorites, double 
tapping what I wanted, I ended up with nothing. All I got was that screen kept 
wanting me to sign in.

I haven't tried it yet, but the HBS810 does have multipoint support, so 
yes you can pair it with two devices at the same time.

I guess I actually have five buttons, since I wasn't counting the
on/off button, but other than turning the headset on and off, this
button doesn't do anything. I think the other difference is that the
volume up/down and Fast forward/Rewind buttons are sliders, so I just
consider each slider to be one button. For example, to mute a call I
push the volume button in the up position and the FF/Rew button in the
rewind position and hold for a second. When you release these buttons
they pop back into the middle position. The manual calls these jots. I
hope that makes sense. I don't think I did a good job of describing that!

I assume their all plastic, but I suppose the thicker pieces in the
front where the buttons are located and the ear buds retract into could
be some kind of metal. They feel like a hard shiny plastic to me though.

I should have mentioned, the lag is great. I've tried them on both my
iPhone 5 and my Samsung S7, and I barely notice any lag at all, even
using the on screen keyboard.

I've found out that lag is a tricky business. My Aftershokx Bluez have
no noticeable lag on my iPhone 4S, but they're barely usable on my
Samsung S7. I'm guessing this may be because of the better performance
of the S7 over my aging iPhone. Like I said, my LG HBS810's have very
little lag on either phone.

I believe the 10 suffix of the model number (such as the 910) indicates
a design with an additional microphone was added to improve transmitted
voice quality.



Despite my belief they are trying to improve the design, I do have to
acknowledge that anything with moving parts is more likely to break;
this is the price I am w2illing to pay for a headset that does all the
things this one does.



Good luck,

Hi Mary,

No, I have an account with TV Guide and I apologize that I posted my reply 
before getting through the other messages in my inbox. I came across your other 
posts later about needing to have an account in order to customize the app to 
your liking.

I know you have your reasons for not wanting to set up an account but I find 
that most all of my apps that allow custom settings that are controlled on some 
internet server require that I set up an account.

Alan

tagging music correctly with iTunes?

[Adam Morris]

Hi all,


Using iTunes for windows, windows10 and jaws18.

Wondering if it is possible to tag my downloaded music library using iTunes?

Most of my downloaded music is tagged incorrectly.

This is music someone has converted from cd and not tagged or 
miscellaneous mp3 files.

There is a button you have to press that is called and I think it is called

Regarding Overdrive

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,

Earlier, someone mentioned Overdrive as one of their favorite Apps. I am sorry, 
but i can not remember who it was.

Anyway, i installed the App, chose my library, and entered my information. I 
had to ask my roommate to read me my library card number, as i did not have 
that memorized.

Anyway, after doing all this, i then went and verified my email address. The 
process went smoothly, which was great.

Now, how do i go about reading audiobooks from my library?
I am a bit confused by this. I could see some titles that were recommended. But 
it did not say if they were from my actual library, but from something like, 
Missouri to go.

All i could see were such options as, on hold, wish list, and a couple of other 
options. I just can not remember them now.

Any help with this App would be very much appreciated. I am very excited to try 
this out!

Thank you,

Terri

Question concerning the native mail app

[Ann Larson]

Hi all, 

When searching for an email message in the native app, it doesn't seem to 
search the entire in box, only the messages that are visible on the screen. For 
example, a friend sent a message to a list about the middle of December and I 
was attempting to find and access it, but when I type in the subject, I get no 
results. I went into my Yahoo mail on Safari and the message is still there but 
I am wanting to read it using the native app. Does anyone know how to scroll to 
earlier messages using VoiceOver? Thanks.

Re: My 10 Favorite iOS Apps of 2016

[Mary Otten]

 Hi Alan,
Line earlier, Terry said that he had the favorite channels all set up and 
didn't have to do any kind of sign in. He didn't have to give them his email 
address or sign in with Facebook or some other thing like Google. Is that true 
for you too? As previously described, when I was in the favorite channels list 
and trying to double tap things to select them, all I got was the screen 
telling me to sign in. When I dismissed it and went back to favorites, double 
tapping what I wanted, I ended up with nothing. All I got was that screen kept 
wanting me to sign in.

[Feliciano Godoy]

BlindSquare simultaneously used with Google maps hands-down. I do not like 
nearby explore, although I have set it to use foursquare maps, it does not 
provide me with the points of interest that BlindSquare provides me with. I 
also feel thatBlindSquare it's more intuitive.

They're not the same. If you want an all in one app for the blind, go with 
Nearby Explorer. Blind Square does not do turn by turn though arguably its 
point of interest database is larger. It might make more sense to compare with 
something like Seeing Eye.

Blind Square is great for orientation. It will tell you street names as you get 
to them. You can set it to track a location so as you get closer, it tells you 
the compass direction and distance. It does not give you turn-by-turn 
directions at this time.
However, if you search for a location in Blind Square, you can have it then 
launch a turn-by-turn gps app to get your directions to that location while it 
still speaks the streets as you come to them in the background. I often use 
Blind Square and Google maps that way. It will also launch Navigon, Apple maps, 
and now Seeing Eye GPS.
Nearby explorer is a turn-by-turn app that also speaks the cross streets and 
gives a lot more information that can be customized. I believe its default

Someone else may give a very different answer, but I think if you are happy

right now.

RE: My 10 Favorite iOS Apps of 2016

[Alan Lemly]

Mary,

Yes, you can customize your channel listings with the TV Guide Mobile app. When 
you double tap the listings button at the far left of the bottomline menu, 
you'll get a screen displaying whatever listing setting you have. There is a 
customize listings button at the top left of this screen which when opened 
gives you the options of all channels, HD channels only, SD channels only, and 
favorite channels only. You also have a button to change favorite channels and 
an on/off button to highlight movies, sports, and news airings.

Setting up favorite channels is pretty easy when you execute the change 
favorite channels button previously mentioned, you'll get a screen with all 
your channels and double tapping on the ones you wish to make favorites will 
put a check mark by them. Also, when you're on your listings screen, double 
tapping on one of the channels listed there will open a screen showing the 
upcoming programs on that channel with an add to favorite channels button in 
the upper right corner of the screen. Also, when you're on your channel 
listings screen, there is a change date and time button in the top middle of 
the screen. I believe you asked about this in another post.

Good luck.

Alan Lemly

Hi Gordon,
Can you customize your channel listing with your TV Guide mobile app? In other 
words, having selected your TV provider, can you then delete all the stuff you 
don't want to hear about? That's a big deal if you have a ton of channels 
available, many of which you never watch.

Hi Mark,
I wonder if I am looking at the same app that you are. The one I have is TV 
listings and it's made by TV 24. The App Store listing did say something 
about TV guide. There's also one called TV guide mobile. I wonder who is the 
developer for the app that you have? On my app, I'm not seeing any sort of 
change date and time button as you described. The app is customizable by the 
ability to re-order or delete channels you don't want once you have selected 
your TV provider. That's nice, because they have a whole bunch of channels I 
don't get, and it was nice to be able to take those out. At the top of my 
app our buttons for various times. What's on now is the first one, then it 
goes by half hour increments. up there there is also a button for "my 
profile". But I'm not seeing any sort of button that lets you change the 
date for instants.

Hello Ed,

There are two ways to accomplish this.

The easiest way is to single-finger, double-tap on the actual channel 
number, located on the left side of the row, in the listings view.  This 
will bring up a single column list view for all the remaining programming, 
in chronological order, for that channel, only.


The second way is to use the change time and date button located near the 
top of the display.

Subject: My 10 Favorite iOS Apps of 2016

Hello Everyone,

As the end of the year approaches, I thought I would share with you my 
favorite iOS apps as of 2016.


First, keep in mind that I use all of the apps, listed below, via 
VoiceOver.


Second, let me say that my most absolutely favorite apps are those of my 
banking institutions.  For security reasons, I will not list them here but 
suffice it to say that they afford me an independence which I would never 
have dreamed possible even a few short years ago.  I like them so much so 
that I conduct virtually all of my financial business via iOS.


Third, I do not like, nore do I use subscription-based apps so none are 
listed here.


Fourth, I will not list the native iOS apps, save two, because we all have 
instant access to them and, no doubt, have various opinions that will not 
be swayed one way or the other by public comment.


The two native iOS apps that I have come to rely on a great deal are:
1.
The Maps app.  This app has gotten better and better with each passing 
year so much so that it has freed me from the subscription-based A T & T 
Navigator app, which, for many years, was a must-have for me.  I use this 
app not only to facilitate vehicle navigation but also as a business 
telephone number and address lookup directory.


And
2.
The native iOS Wallet app with Apple Pay.  This iOS feature has truly 
revolutionized my purchasing experience; if you have not yet done so, by 
all means, give it a try.


Okay, on to my 10 favorite third-party iOS apps which are listed in no 
particular order, almost (smile).


1.
The official Twitter app.  Hands-down, this is my favorite app of all 
time.
It's informative, fast and easy to use, fun, and allows me to participate 
in the global conversation.  In fact, just the other day, the Wendy's 
restaurant chain posted one of my tweets to their page.


2.
The CVS Pharmacy app.  This app has greatly reduced the amount of time it 
takes me to order/refill my prescriptions.  It also has a wonderful 
reminder feature for those who need help remembering when to take their 
meds.


3.
The TV Guide Mobile app.  Simply stated, with over 400 cable channels to 
choose from, I don't know how I would manage my television viewing without 
this marvelous tool that allows me to quickly and easily find what I want 
when I want it.  The best part is that it provides episode descriptions.
This is great when watching a marathon as I can determine which episodes I 
want to see, hour-by-hour.


4.
The Over Drive app.  As surprising as it may seem, recently I have been 
using this app on a daily basis in order to enjoy commercially available 
audiobooks.  While the BARD/NLS app will always remain a must-have 
resource, I find that it's easier to find more

Buying credit is only required for Blindsquare's voice commands; other than 
that, it works great having bought"it!

Blind Mice Audio Description downloads

[Robin Christopherson]

Keith

You don’t need to. Ignore pretty much everything on that page. Just click the 
Download button (focus it with alt+L) and you’ll get the standard download 
process – i.e. in IE press alt+N to go to the notification area and you’ll see 
the usual Open or Save options. If you click Save it will start to trickle into 
your downloads folder – and I mean trickle.

Thanks, Robin

Re: near by explorer question

[Andy Baracco]

The same company provided maps for the Sendero GPS program on the Braillenote, 
and maps were updated perhaps every year or two. In most areas this is no big 
deal except for POIs, but with NE we have different sources for this info, so 
it isn’t a deal breaker.

I learned on the Nearby Explorer list that map updates are not set by APH, but 
by NavTeq, the map owners and APH does not know when updates will occur with 
the maps. So, no, app updates will not necessarily mean an update to the maps.

  Does it update the maps also or does it use the same ole maps that is has

  Because doesn't that app down load maps to your phone?
  If this is the case how does it keep the maps current?
  Cause places change and roads and highways change.

hi where did you purchase this headset from?

Also about what is the battery life like in this unit?

Can you turn it on and off between calls if you would like to?

 

Mine is the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 model.  It’s got a crushproof case, it sounds 
wonderful, has buttons on the side for volume control play and pause, can 
double as a regular headset if need be, and has plush ear cups for surround 
sound and comfort.

Only bad thing is that once it’s switched on, noise cancel is automatic, which 
can be donting for someone who needs to hear everything.

It does announce the battery level though and it has a great microphone!  The 
microphone has no dictation problems what so ever, even when almost whispering 
into it, which I didn’t expect for something being on the side of my head lol.

How does this laptop solution work? I'd rather just have a remote and a box,
use a phone app, or even an Apple TV app, and I'd probably then buy one of
those. I'm still in a TWC area, yet they're running Spectrum Business
Internet ads for cheaper than I am paying on a promo for ultimate 50, and
that has 60. I have to imagine they jumped the gun on the inserted ads, as
they wouldn't likely be having their own business class internet undercut
what's available for residential, as commercial everything is usually more
expensive, but I think you get faster resolution if you get an outage.

Okay, here is the numer to the recently created accessibility group at

interest in the accessible box. You do not have to accept a laptop. Mike
Arrigo, who posts to this list has the box and speaks very highly about its
functionality. I certainly trust his comments on his experiences with the
box. The key question is when the boxes will be available system wide. The
reps may not know that. But they are the ones responsible for taking our
calls and registering us in their database as interested and in need of
these boxes. Good luck.

Re: which one would you choose, Blind square or nearby explorer and why?

Nearby is impressive and will get better. But, Blind Square does have some 
transit information.
They book in with transit apps. I do not think they have the transit info 
built-in, but I'm not sure.
For an all in one gps app, Nearby is quite good if you have the 4 GB of space.

They're not the same. If you want an all in one app for the blind, go with 
Nearby Explorer. Blind Square does not do turn by turn though arguably its 
point of interest database is larger. It might make more sense to compare with 
something like Seeing Eye.

That depends on what you want from the app.
Blind Square is great for orientation. It will tell you street names as you get 
to them. You can set it to track a location so as you get closer, it tells you 
the compass direction and distance. It does not give you turn-by-turn 
directions at this time.
However, if you search for a location in Blind Square, you can have it then 
launch a turn-by-turn gps app to get your directions to that location while it 
still speaks the streets as you come to them in the background. I often use 
Blind Square and Google maps that way. It will also launch Navigon, Apple maps, 
and now Seeing Eye GPS.
Nearby explorer is a turn-by-turn app that also speaks the cross streets and 
gives a lot more information that can be customized. I believe its default 
settings are way too talkative and distracting.

That is completely wrong. The only credits you would need to buy is if you want 
to use the Voice Commands. That is an optional add on feature.
I have never used it.
I am usually in noisy places and don't trust voice commands in those situations.

I am under the impression that one need to constantly buy credit to use Blind

turn by turn problem can be solved by launching another GPS app.
I like to hear more opinions before I decide which one I would choose.

They're not the same. If you want an all in one app for the blind, go with 
Nearby Explorer. Blind Square does not do turn by turn though arguably its 
point of interest database is larger. It might make more sense to compare with 
something like Seeing Eye.

That depends on what you want from the app.
Blind Square is great for orientation. It will tell you street names as you get 
to them. You can set it to track a location so as you get closer, it tells you 
the compass direction and distance. It does not give you turn-by-turn 
directions at this time.
However, if you search for a location in Blind Square, you can have it then 
launch a turn-by-turn gps app to get your directions to that location while it 
still speaks the streets as you come to them in the background. I often use 
Blind Square and Google maps that way. It will also launch Navigon, Apple maps, 
and now Seeing Eye GPS.
Nearby explorer is a turn-by-turn app that also speaks the cross streets and 
gives a lot more information that can be customized. I believe its default 
settings are way too talkative and distracting.
Someone else may give a very different answer, but I think if you are happy 
with the GPS apps you have now, adding Blind Square would be the better choice 
right now.

Re: the differences between braille input on the iPhones

[Matthew Bullis]

You'll need to experiment to find which mode lets you braille the 
fastest and most efficiently. If you set the mode to use contracted 
braille with a three finger swipe right, the word is translated as soon 
as you press space, so a receiver of your message doesn't know how you 
composed the message. You can configure the dot placement, but you don't 
have to do this each time you enter braille screen mode. You'll soon get 
the feel and shape of your hands on the screen, and will quickly be able 
to use this mode. It's the only way I text and otherwise send output on 
my iPhone, as I never use dictation to talk with people. Having this 
mode was the final clincher that caused me to personally invest in an 
iPhone after having one given to me for my work purposes.

grade two on the braille input as well?
And if you did this will the text message read fine on the persons end

One last thing when you select braille screen input do you have to

Re: brailling on the 6s and 6s plus

[Matthew Bullis]

The braille screen input modes are tabletop, which is straight across 
like a Perkins, and if you tilt the phone towards or away from you, 
you'll get the V shape in two different configurations. You'll need to 
experiment to find which layout you prefer, then lock its orientation.

I actually tried the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro case for my iPhone 6S, and 
absolutely hated it. That case so wasn't meant to have the phone in the clip 
with the screen facing out. When I tried putting the phone in this way, the 
case actually started to bend a bit on either side of where the clip makes 
contact with the case. It also just felt like it couldn't take as much of a 
beating as the OtterBox Defender.

I also tried the Spigen Perfect Armor case with belt clip (you have to buy the 
clip separately from the case) and I wasn't a fan of that one, either. I faced 
similar issues when trying to put the phone in the clip screen-out, and the 
kickstand was utter crap. It just wouldn't support the phone at all. It kept 
falling over, and this was without me touching it.

Since the problems with the early run of OtterBox Defenders for the iPhone 6S 
were fixed by the time I bought mine (I checked with an OtterBox rep before 
buying) I went with it and haven't looked back.

I didn't know you could choose the shape for table-top Braille Screen Input on 
the 6S+. Or did I maybe misunderstand your comment?

I really enjoy my 6SPlus, since I can stretch my fingers out to braille 
comfortably. You do have the choice of the straight line tabletop brailling or 
the screen away mode that is the V shape. I prefer the V shape, since your 
fingers and thumbs curve around the phone while brailling in that position. 
Remember that once you get the brailling mode the way you want it, swipe up 
with three fingers to lock that orientation for the future. There is a less 
bulky case than the Otterbox Defender case if you want one. I found one called 
the Unicorn Beetle, which is about $15 on Amazon. It does have the plastic 
screen protector built into the top of the case. While you can clip the phone 
in facing in or out, it's a tighted fit if you clip it in facing screen out, 
and I found that after a few months the top of the belt clip case broke. It's 
made out of the country, so I had to buy a whole new case instead of buying the 
belt clip part by itself. Anyhow, If you decide on the plus version, you'll 
also enjoy the battery life it provides.

I guess I actually have five buttons, since I wasn't counting the
on/off button, but other than turning the headset on and off, this
button doesn't do anything. I think the other difference is that the
volume up/down and Fast forward/Rewind buttons are sliders, so I just
consider each slider to be one button. For example, to mute a call I
push the volume button in the up position and the FF/Rew button in the
rewind position and hold for a second. When you release these buttons
they pop back into the middle position. The manual calls these jots. I
hope that makes sense. I don't think I did a good job of describing that!

I assume their all plastic, but I suppose the thicker pieces in the
front where the buttons are located and the ear buds retract into could
be some kind of metal. They feel like a hard shiny plastic to me though.

I should have mentioned, the lag is great. I've tried them on both my
iPhone 5 and my Samsung S7, and I barely notice any lag at all, even
using the on screen keyboard.

I've found out that lag is a tricky business. My Aftershokx Bluez have
no noticeable lag on my iPhone 4S, but they're barely usable on my
Samsung S7. I'm guessing this may be because of the better performance
of the S7 over my aging iPhone. Like I said, my LG HBS810's have very
little lag on either phone.

RE: serie command for Uber

[Pablo Cesar Morales]

One suggestionis Alexa. This device and uber app canwork together..

cwc
Sent: Saturday, December 31, 2016 8:49 AM
To: VIPhone 
Subject: serie command for Uber

 

How do you request an Uber using Serie? My wife has tried several times but 
after it asks what type of ride that she wants, it forces her to go to the Uber 
AP. It will not complete the transaction.  
For example, when she says that she would like a ride to a location, Serie asks 
her which service she wants, then dumps her into the AP to set it up herself.  
She only has the use of one hand, so actually negotiating the AP is not an 
option at this time. For now, I am setting up her rides, but she wants to do it 
on her own. 
Any ideas?

Re: which one would you choose, Blind square or nearby explorer and why?

[Mary Otten]

If you have space on your phone, that ability not to be dependent on your 
cellular company could be a big deal. It certainly was helpful for us last 
summer when we were traveling. There are places where cell phone coverage just 
isn't. If you got good coverage wherever you go, and a decent data plan, then 
maybe it's not a big deal. The downside is you have to download all of the 
maps. There is also an upside. If you are in a city where they have transit map 
coverage, you get that. I don't think blind square has that, does it? I admit 
I'm more familiar with nearby, and am impressed with the work that APH has done 
and continues to do on this app.

Re: Blind Mice Audio Description downloads

[Sherry Wells]

No, you don’t need to create an account on SendSpace to download movies from 
Blind Mice Mart.  I use the computer to do this so just hit alt+shift+l to 
click the right download button.  I’m sorry but am not sure how to do this on 
the phone.  I can just confirm that you don’t need a SendSpace account.  The 
download will be slower of course but you get what you pay for...

RE: which one would you choose, Blind square or nearby explorer and why?

[Cris Ali]

Thanks for clarifying this Richard.  That makes Blind Square more attractive. I 
do not care about voice commands, or even dictation for that matter.
I was just looking at the description of nearby explorer, and found the fact 
that one can actually download the maps to the phone and avoid using data while 
navigating very attractive.  It is a hard choice to make.

Cris

That is completely wrong. The only credits you would need to buy is if you want 
to use the Voice Commands. That is an optional add on feature.
I have never used it.
I am usually in noisy places and don't trust voice commands in those situations.

Subject: Re: which one would you choose, Blind square or nearby explorer and 
why?

They're not the same. If you want an all in one app for the blind, go with 
Nearby Explorer. Blind Square does not do turn by turn though arguably its 
point of interest database is larger. It might make more sense to compare with 
something like Seeing Eye.

That depends on what you want from the app.
Blind Square is great for orientation. It will tell you street names as you get 
to them. You can set it to track a location so as you get closer, it tells you 
the compass direction and distance. It does not give you turn-by-turn 
directions at this time.
However, if you search for a location in Blind Square, you can have it then 
launch a turn-by-turn gps app to get your directions to that location while it 
still speaks the streets as you come to them in the background. I often use 
Blind Square and Google maps that way. It will also launch Navigon, Apple maps, 
and now Seeing Eye GPS.
Nearby explorer is a turn-by-turn app that also speaks the cross streets and 
gives a lot more information that can be customized. I believe its default 
settings are way too talkative and distracting.
Someone else may give a very different answer, but I think if you are happy 
with the GPS apps you have now, adding Blind Square would be the better choice 
right now.

Hi folks,
I have quite few GPS apps on my iPhone.  But none of them is specifically 
designed with the blind users in mind.  Nonetheless, apps like maps, Navigan,  
and google maps are very accessible.  But if you want to get only one app 
designed with the blind users in mind, which one would you choose? If you have 
to choose between blind square and nearby explorer, for example, which of the 
two would you choose and why?

Blind Mice Audio Description downloads

Hi,

I created an account at Blind Mice. From the Movie Vault, I tried downloading 
an mp3, but it said I needed to create an account. I believe the URL was listed

Thanks for any help.

Re: TV Guide App

[Mary Otten]

Hi Terry and all. The TV Guide app is as you have described. The first message 
I was sending which talked about a different app didn't have that date and time 
button that the TV Guide app has. However, it has an easy way of setting up 
what channels you want to watch. My experience with the TV Guide app was like 
this.


 I got rid of the screen to sign in with an account or giving them my email. I 
turned off voiceover and swiped past the introductory screens then turn 
voiceover back on. I saw that in listings, it's set to all channels, after you 
have selected your provider of course. In settings, you can choose what you 
want on the listings screen, so I selected favorites. Since I had no favorites, 
it started by showing me the entire list of channels available through the 
provider I had selected and I was supposed to select those I wanted in 
favorites. Every time I double tapped on a channel that I wanted to keep in 
favorites, I got that screen where it wants you to give it your email address 
or sign in with a provider. I dismissed it and kept on selecting favorites, 
dismissing that screen each time I selected one. At the end, there is no save 
button and so the only thing to do is to go back to the top and go back to the 
settings screen. At that point, I got some kind of a message about needing to 
sign in to save favorites or something like that, I can't exactly remember. So 
how you guys are getting favorites without having an account or signing in 
through Google or wherever is quite beyond me.

TV Guide App

[Terri Stimmel]

Hi there Mary,


Yes, you have a favorites option, I believe. I use this App, and love 
it! It's awesome, in my book.


I am looking at the App now, so I can give you an idea. I may not 
explain this perfectly, because I haven't ever tried to do this.

But toward the bottom of your screen, you have different options. 
listings, watch list, discover, and settings, and more.


I haven't checked them all out yet. But if you go in to settings, you 
can enter your zip code, and set your provider. Once this is done, there 
is a favorites button. If you tap on this, you will see all of your 
channels. If you want to add a channel to your favorites list, you just 
double tap on it, then swipe right to see what the next channel in the 
list is. This process may take some time, depending on what kind of 
package you have, and just how many channels you receive. It did take me 
some time.


After you finish the favorites, I can't remember if it takes you out of 
settings, or not. But if it does, you can go back in there, and change 
the start screen. I have mine to show listings.

Also, there is a manage alerts button, but I haven't messed with this 
one. When I have checked it out, I am told I have to register my device. 
I am not sure how to go about doing this. So I just left it alone.


You can change the date, and time. When you tap on the change date and 
time button, it will show, jump to any time. Keep reading to the right, 
and you will see an option for today. I am not sure how many days 
forward you can go.

Then swipe right, and this is where you can change the hour. Then swipe 
right again, and you can set it at 30 minutes, or 00 minutes, which of 
course is an hour. Then you have the option for A.M, or P.M. Swipe to 
the right again, and you will have the change time button. Double tap on 
this, then of course you will see your choices.


When you are looking at your options, when you are in your listings, you 
have a customize button, which if you tap on this, just gives you to see 
your favorites, or all of your channels. Of course, favorites is 
highlight if you have it set this way.

After the change date and time button, there is a search button.


I hope this is helpful for you and anyone else. If you have anymore 
questions, you can feel free to write me off-list. I'll gladly help you 
the best that I can.


Terri

 Hi Mark,
 I wonder if I am looking at the same app that you are. The one I

 did say something about TV guide. There's also one called TV guide 
 mobile. I wonder who is the developer for the app that you have? On 
 my app, I'm not seeing any sort of change date and time button as 
 you described. The app is customizable by the ability to re-order 
 or delete channels you don't want once you have selected your TV 
 provider. That's nice, because they have a whole bunch of channels 
 I don't get, and it was nice to be able to take those out. At the 
 top of my app our buttons for various times. What's on now is the 
 first one, then it goes by half hour increments. up

 Hi Mark,
 I wonder if I am looking at the same app that you are. The one I 
 have is TV listings and it's made by TV 24. The App Store listing 
 did say something about TV guide. There's also one called TV guide 
 mobile. I wonder who is the developer for the app that you have? On 
 my app, I'm not seeing any sort of change date and time button as 
 you described. The app is customizable by the ability to re-order 
 or delete channels you don't want once you have selected your TV 
 provider. That's nice, because they have a whole bunch of channels 
 I don't get, and it was nice to be able to take those out. At the 
 top of my app our buttons for various times. What's on now is the 
 first one, then it goes by half hour increments. up

Re: which one would you choose, Blind square or nearby explorer and why?

[Richard Turner]

That is completely wrong. The only credits you would need to buy is if you want 
to use the Voice Commands. That is an optional add on feature.
I have never used it.
I am usually in noisy places and don't trust voice commands in those situations.

I like to hear more opinions before I decide which one I would choose.

They're not the same. If you want an all in one app for the blind, go with 
Nearby Explorer. Blind Square does not do turn by turn though arguably its 
point of interest database is larger. It might make more sense to compare with 
something like Seeing Eye.

That depends on what you want from the app.
Blind Square is great for orientation. It will tell you street names as you get 
to them. You can set it to track a location so as you get closer, it tells you 
the compass direction and distance. It does not give you turn-by-turn 
directions at this time.
However, if you search for a location in Blind Square, you can have it then 
launch a turn-by-turn gps app to get your directions to that location while it 
still speaks the streets as you come to them in the background. I often use 
Blind Square and Google maps that way. It will also launch Navigon, Apple maps, 
and now Seeing Eye GPS.
Nearby explorer is a turn-by-turn app that also speaks the cross streets and 
gives a lot more information that can be customized. I believe its default 
settings are way too talkative and distracting.
Someone else may give a very different answer, but I think if you are happy 
with the GPS apps you have now, adding Blind Square would be the better choice 
right now.

designed with the blind users in mind, which one would you choose? If you have

RE: which one would you choose, Blind square or nearby explorer and why?

[Cris Ali]

Thanks David and Richard,
I am under the impression that one need to constantly buy credit to use Blind 
Square. Of course my impression could be wrong. But if it is correct, I am not 
in favor of subscription based or credit based apps.  But as Richard said, the 
turn by turn problem can be solved by launching another GPS app.
I like to hear more opinions before I decide which one I would choose.
Cheers,

Cris

They're not the same. If you want an all in one app for the blind, go with 
Nearby Explorer. Blind Square does not do turn by turn though arguably its 
point of interest database is larger. It might make more sense to compare with 
something like Seeing Eye.

That depends on what you want from the app.
Blind Square is great for orientation. It will tell you street names as you get 
to them. You can set it to track a location so as you get closer, it tells you 
the compass direction and distance. It does not give you turn-by-turn 
directions at this time.
However, if you search for a location in Blind Square, you can have it then 
launch a turn-by-turn gps app to get your directions to that location while it 
still speaks the streets as you come to them in the background. I often use 
Blind Square and Google maps that way. It will also launch Navigon, Apple maps, 
and now Seeing Eye GPS.
Nearby explorer is a turn-by-turn app that also speaks the cross streets and 
gives a lot more information that can be customized. I believe its default 
settings are way too talkative and distracting.
Someone else may give a very different answer, but I think if you are happy 
with the GPS apps you have now, adding Blind Square would be the better choice 
right now.

I guess I actually have five buttons, since I wasn't counting the on/off 
button, but other than turning the headset on and off, this button doesn't do 
anything. I think the other difference is that the volume up/down and Fast 
forward/Rewind buttons are sliders, so I just consider each slider to be one 
button. For example, to mute a call I push the volume button in the up position 
and the FF/Rew button in the rewind position and hold for a second. When you 
release these buttons they pop back into the middle position. The manual calls 
these jots. I hope that makes sense. I don't think I did a good job of 
describing that!

I assume their all plastic, but I suppose the thicker pieces in the front where 
the buttons are located and the ear buds retract into could be some kind of 
metal. They feel like a hard shiny plastic to me though.

I should have mentioned, the lag is great. I've tried them on both my iPhone 5 
and my Samsung S7, and I barely notice any lag at all, even using the on screen 
keyboard.

I've found out that lag is a tricky business. My Aftershokx Bluez have no 
noticeable lag on my iPhone 4S, but they're barely usable on my Samsung S7. I'm 
guessing this may be because of the better performance of the S7 over my aging 
iPhone. Like I said, my LG HBS810's have very little lag on either phone.

Re: Bluetooth headsets

[M.Nelson]

I have a couple of questions which I may have missed. an I correct that this 
headset is either BT or RF? I would love that since I could use easily with 
my laptop, desktop or my IPhone. I saw that Amazon has the 1100 certified 
refurbished for the same price as the 810 But the rating is lower? they also 
have the 910 for $79 so which would everyone recommend. The descriptions on 
Amazon are pretty minimal but the 910 does not say it is wireless so is it 
only BT?

thanks for suggestions.

I guess I actually have five buttons, since I wasn't counting the
on/off button, but other than turning the headset on and off, this
button doesn't do anything. I think the other difference is that the
volume up/down and Fast forward/Rewind buttons are sliders, so I just
consider each slider to be one button. For example, to mute a call I
push the volume button in the up position and the FF/Rew button in the
rewind position and hold for a second. When you release these buttons
they pop back into the middle position. The manual calls these jots. I
hope that makes sense. I don't think I did a good job of describing that!

I assume their all plastic, but I suppose the thicker pieces in the
front where the buttons are located and the ear buds retract into could
be some kind of metal. They feel like a hard shiny plastic to me though.

I should have mentioned, the lag is great. I've tried them on both my
iPhone 5 and my Samsung S7, and I barely notice any lag at all, even
using the on screen keyboard.

I've found out that lag is a tricky business. My Aftershokx Bluez have
no noticeable lag on my iPhone 4S, but they're barely usable on my
Samsung S7. I'm guessing this may be because of the better performance
of the S7 over my aging iPhone. Like I said, my LG HBS810's have very
little lag on either phone.

really astounded at all the functions I could perform with my 700. Lol I 
need to make a little cheat sheet of where the buttons are, and all the

Is the 810 plastic or metal? I was looking at the 1100 on Amazon 
yesterday, and found out that it's made of some kind of metal. My 700 is 
all plastic. Also, how's the lag on your 810? I have to test my 700 again,

Re: which one would you choose, Blind square or nearby explorer and why?

[Richard Turner]

That depends on what you want from the app.
Blind Square is great for orientation. It will tell you street names as you get 
to them. You can set it to track a location so as you get closer, it tells you 
the compass direction and distance. It does not give you turn-by-turn 
directions at this time.
However, if you search for a location in Blind Square, you can have it then 
launch a turn-by-turn gps app to get your directions to that location while it 
still speaks the streets as you come to them in the background. I often use 
Blind Square and Google maps that way. It will also launch Navigon, Apple maps, 
and now Seeing Eye GPS.
Nearby explorer is a turn-by-turn app that also speaks the cross streets and 
gives a lot more information that can be customized. I believe its default 
settings are way too talkative and distracting.
Someone else may give a very different answer, but I think if you are happy 
with the GPS apps you have now, adding Blind Square would be the better choice 
right now.
Richard

Re: my 10 favorite apps

[Richard Turner]

Davy,
 Read2go is the app first developed for reading BookShare books. If you 
primarily read with a braille display, it apparently does a better job than 
Voice Dream Reader. But, in all other ways, Voice Dream Reader is much better. 
It is even listed on the BookShare web site as a recommended tool.
Also, in my opinion, Read2go has fallen way behind and is still way behind. For 
one thing, there is still only two voices to choose from.
But, if you look in the app store and read the entire description, they have 
not kept the information or the app up to date.
The main description refers to BookShare having over 350 thousand titles. It is 
now well over 450 thousand. And, the what's new dated November 9th 2016, 
says,Read2Go (version 1.1.1) has been updated to work better with iOS 9.  Has 
updated Acapela voices, Ryan and Heather.

So, many weeks after iOS 10 was released, it is now updated to work better with 
iOS 9.
It was a great app when released, and still is for braille readers, or readers 
who are satisfied with the two voices.
Of course, this is my personal opinion.
You could have looked it up in the app store and made your own conclusions.
Richard

Re: My 10 Favorite iOS Apps of 2016

[Mary Otten]

OK, I found out that if you don't sign in with some service or give them your 
email, you can't customize channels. You can have it show you all listings, HD 
or SD listings, or your favorite. And if you pick favorites and then try to 
select any, they make you sign in. And there doesn't seem to be a way to trim 
the all channels listing. So the only way you can cut down and just see those 
channels that you like is to give them an email address or sign in with an 
existing service and give people permission to see your contacts etc. Not 
amusing.

I haven't investigated that far just yet, but you can set alerts with it 
which I love. I learned that Killer Couples is on Oxygen this morning, 
so I have that on now. I'm going to really use this app a lot once 
football season is over when I want to find something to watch. I had 
been using screenertv.com on my computer, but I find this to be more 
simple and convenient. Screenertv.com is what zap2it.com turned into.

Hello Everyone,

As the end of the year approaches, I thought I would share with you my favorite 
iOS apps as of 2016.

First, keep in mind that I use all of the apps, listed below, via VoiceOver.

Second, let me say that my most absolutely favorite apps are those of my 
banking institutions.  For security reasons, I will not list them here but 
suffice it to say that they afford me an independence which I would never have 
dreamed possible even a few short years ago.  I like them so much so that I 
conduct virtually all of my financial business via iOS.

Third, I do not like, nore do I use subscription-based apps so none are listed 
here.

Fourth, I will not list the native iOS apps, save two, because we all have 
instant access to them and, no doubt, have various opinions that will not be 
swayed one way or the other by public comment.

The two native iOS apps that I have come to rely on a great deal are:
1.
The Maps app.  This app has gotten better and better with each passing year so much 
so that it has freed me from the subscription-based A T & T Navigator app, 
which, for many years, was a must-have for me.  I use this app not only to 
facilitate vehicle navigation but also as a business telephone number and address 
lookup directory.

And

Hi Gordon,
Can you customize your channel listing with your TV Guide mobile app? In other 
words, having selected your TV provider, can you then delete all the stuff you 
don't want to hear about? That's a big deal if you have a ton of channels 
available, many of which you never watch.

 OK mine are
1.-BlindSquare; not only does it tell me how to get from point a to 
point b, but while in my parents' car, I turn it on, and it tells me 
what streets we're crossing, no more having to guide oneself via the 
bumps on the roads, change of road textures etc.

2.-The Official Twitter app as well;
3.-Facebook;
4.-Whatsapp
All these three give me opportunities to stay in touch with sighted 
family/friends, and why not also with blind folks as well.

5.-TuneinRadio,
6.-EnTuTele which I only rediscovered yesterday afternoon: En tuTele is 
a website on wihch you're told what programs are on and on what channel 
(kind of a TV guide); OK so EnTuTele has an iPhone app, that once set up 
with your TVprovider (the more excitement surged when I discovered that 
TeleCable is now on the list of providers), so once set up with your TV 
provider, you open the app, and scroll down the list and it says for 
instance 23, Papá por Siempre and a button right next to itt,wihch when 
double-tapped, it opens up a menu in which you get the channel name, and 
scroll down to get the programs listing on that channel.

7.-Dropbox;
8.-GoogleDrive;
9.-Voice Dream Reader;
10.-Bard Mobile.

Tv guide mobile is by tv guide and is awesome. I fell in love with this 
app in a very short time last night after about an hour. I did have to 
turn voice over on and off to get it set up. When you first launch the 
app you choose your provider. Then you're taken to a screen where it 
says to swipe left to see highlights and more features. This left swipe 
will not work with VO on. So I turned it off ans swipe several times to 
the left. Once I turned it back on I had access to the finish button. I 
did this without setting up an account or loggin in with FB or twitter. 
So those who use those services to log in might get different results 
from what I got. I hit the dismiss button when it asked me to log in or 
create an account. But the app is one of the best I've ever used.

developer for the app that you have? On my app, I'm not seeing any sort of 
change date and time button as you described. The app is customizable by the 
ability to re-order or delete channels you don't want once you have selected 
your TV provider. That's nice, because they have a whole bunch of channels I 
don't get, and it was nice to be able to take those out. At the top of my app 
our buttons for various times. What's on now is the first one, then it goes by 
half hour increments. up there there is also a button for "my profile". But I'm 
not seeing any sort of button that lets you change the date for instants.

Re: brailling on the 6s and 6s plus

[englishrider91]

I actually tried the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro case for my iPhone 6S, and 
absolutely hated it. That case so wasn't meant to have the phone in the clip 
with the screen facing out. When I tried putting the phone in this way, the 
case actually started to bend a bit on either side of where the clip makes 
contact with the case. It also just felt like it couldn't take as much of a 
beating as the OtterBox Defender.

I also tried the Spigen Perfect Armor case with belt clip (you have to buy the 
clip separately from the case) and I wasn't a fan of that one, either. I faced 
similar issues when trying to put the phone in the clip screen-out, and the 
kickstand was utter crap. It just wouldn't support the phone at all. It kept 
falling over, and this was without me touching it.

Since the problems with the early run of OtterBox Defenders for the iPhone 6S 
were fixed by the time I bought mine (I checked with an OtterBox rep before 
buying) I went with it and haven't looked back.

I didn't know you could choose the shape for table-top Braille Screen Input on 
the 6S+. Or did I maybe misunderstand your comment?


Thanks,
Ari

the differences between braille input on the iPhones

[Casey]

hi since we have been talking about braille input on the i Phones?
Can someone please share the difference between the two modes of railing 
on the iPhone.
Like witch one of the two will give you the feel of typing on A braille 
writer and witch one is the best one to use that will let you get the 
best results and let you type reasonably fast and can you use grade two 
on the braille input as well?
And if you did this will the text message read fine on the persons end 
that you send them to if you use grade two braille?
One last thing when you select braille screen input do you have to first 
configure the dot placement with you fingers first or how exactly does 
that work?

Re: near by explorer question

[Richard Turner]

I learned on the Nearby Explorer list that map updates are not set by APH, but 
by NavTeq, the map owners and APH does not know when updates will occur with 
the maps. So, no, app updates will not necessarily mean an update to the maps.

HTH,
Richard

hi if you get near by explorer and when an update comes for it?
Does it update the maps also or does it use the same ole maps that is has since 
you have put the near by explorer on your device?
Because doesn't that app down load maps to your phone?
If this is the case how does it keep the maps current?
Cause places change and roads and highways change.
So how to you make sure you are getting the most up to date GPS information on

serie command for Uber

[cwc]

How do you request an Uber using Serie? My wife has tried several times but 
after it asks what type of ride that she wants, it forces her to go to the 
Uber AP. It will not complete the transaction.  
For example, when she says that she would like a ride to a location, Serie 
asks her which service she wants, then dumps her into the AP to set it up 
herself.  She only has the use of one hand, so actually negotiating the AP 
is not an option at this time. For now, I am setting up her rides, but she 
wants to do it on her own. 
Any ideas?

Re: Bluetooth headsets

[Christopher Chaltain]

			I guess I actually have five buttons, since I wasn't counting the 
on/off button, but other than turning the headset on and off, this 
button doesn't do anything. I think the other difference is that the 
volume up/down and Fast forward/Rewind buttons are sliders, so I just 
consider each slider to be one button. For example, to mute a call I 
push the volume button in the up position and the FF/Rew button in the 
rewind position and hold for a second. When you release these buttons 
they pop back into the middle position. The manual calls these jots. I 
hope that makes sense. I don't think I did a good job of describing that!


I assume their all plastic, but I suppose the thicker pieces in the 
front where the buttons are located and the ear buds retract into could 
be some kind of metal. They feel like a hard shiny plastic to me though.


I should have mentioned, the lag is great. I've tried them on both my 
iPhone 5 and my Samsung S7, and I barely notice any lag at all, even 
using the on screen keyboard.


I've found out that lag is a tricky business. My Aftershokx Bluez have 
no noticeable lag on my iPhone 4S, but they're barely usable on my 
Samsung S7. I'm guessing this may be because of the better performance 
of the S7 over my aging iPhone. Like I said, my LG HBS810's have very 
little lag on either phone.

I got a pair of the HBS810 last week, and so far I'm impressed. I went with the 
HBS810 since I got a good deal, and I wanted to check out the form factor

others have said, it does have audio prompts and multipoint support. Right now, 
I'm going through the manual, which I found on line in PDF, and I'm a bit 
daunted over all of the features that I can access with just four buttons. I 
like all of the features, but it kind of feels like I need to learn Morse code 
or something to get just four buttons to access all of those features! I can't 
speak to their longevity yet, but for now, I'd recommend them.

I believe the 10 suffix of the model number (such as the 910) indicates
a design with an additional microphone was added to improve transmitted
voice quality.



Despite my belief they are trying to improve the design, I do have to
acknowledge that anything with moving parts is more likely to break;
this is the price I am w2illing to pay for a headset that does all the
things this one does.

found out that it's made of some kind of metal. My 700 is all plastic. Also, 
how's the lag on your 810? I have to test my 700 again, since I haven't used it 
in quite a while, but I seem to remember the lag not being too bad.


Thanks,
Ari

Re: Bluetooth headsets

[Christopher Chaltain]

I got a pair of the HBS810 last week, and so far I'm impressed. I went 
with the HBS810 since I got a good deal, and I wanted to check out the 
form factor before plunking down more money on a later model in the 
upcoming years. As others have said, it does have audio prompts and 
multipoint support. Right now, I'm going through the manual, which I 
found on line in PDF, and I'm a bit daunted over all of the features 
that I can access with just four buttons. I like all of the features, 
but it kind of feels like I need to learn Morse code or something to get 
just four buttons to access all of those features! I can't speak to 
their longevity yet, but for now, I'd recommend them.

I believe the 10 suffix of the model number (such as the 910) indicates
a design with an additional microphone was added to improve transmitted
voice quality.



Despite my belief they are trying to improve the design, I do have to
acknowledge that anything with moving parts is more likely to break;
this is the price I am w2illing to pay for a headset that does all the
things this one does.



Good luck,

Hi Michael,



I like the ones from LG which fit around your neck in a
loose horseshoe shape, but they rest on your shoulders.  You
pull either one or both earbuds out of the base unit (they
extend on wires) to use it, and when done you press a button
and the wires automatically wind the earbuds back up into
the base unit.  The base unit has buttons not only for
talking to Siri and making or disconnecting calls and
volume, but also for play/pause and fast forward/rewind of
played audio material (which often are not present).



The model I have is the LG HBS 900 but I believe someone
here said there’s now a 910 available (not sure of the
difference).  They come in a variety of colors (mine is
silver gray).



One of their advantages is that when not in use, they are
very unobtrusive, so they can be worn in professional or
social environments and they don’t draw attention.



I have a notes file which describes where the buttons are
and what they do if you end up buying these, just drop me a
request at:

acora...@comcast.net 





They run around $90 I believe.



Hth,



Chip

Wow! I thought according to online, it sounded like maybe you could watch 
stuff with it. Maybe this thing isn't worth getting.

The laptop only gives you the guide so you can  see what programs are on. 
That is all.  And with the mouse disabled, it won't work at all.

How does this laptop solution work? I'd rather just have a remote and a box, 
use a phone app, or even an Apple TV app, and I'd probably then buy one of 
those. I'm still in a TWC area, yet they're running Spectrum Business 
Internet ads for cheaper than I am paying on a promo for ultimate 50, and 
that has 60. I have to imagine they jumped the gun on the inserted ads, as 
they wouldn't likely be having their own business class internet undercut 
what's available for residential, as commercial everything is usually more 
expensive, but I think you get faster resolution if you get an outage.

Oh trust me, they know.  The rep that set up my appointment called after to
see how it went and I told him everything.  The gentlemen who came to set up
the laptop have my name and have sent in a full report on this experience to
TW.  They said they would call me as soon as they find out when better
accessibility will be available.  I told them that I wanted the box. Which
is what I asked for in the beginning but was told that was not what I was
going to get.  I am glad I went through with the appointment anyhow just to
show them what would not work.

So we'll see what happens.  Thing is I don't think our Time Warner company
have totally merged with everybody else.
They are still calling themselves Time
Warner.  When we went from Insight to TW, they still made us use the old
equipment from Insight, rather than bring in new.  The wheels of whatever,
grind slow around here, trust me.

Okay, here is the numer to the recently created accessibility group at
Spectrum. It is: (844(762-1301. I'd encourage a call to register your
interest in the accessible box. You do not have to accept a laptop. Mike
Arrigo, who posts to this list has the box and speaks very highly about its
functionality. I certainly trust his comments on his experiences with the
box. The key question is when the boxes will be available system wide. The
reps may not know that. But they are the ones responsible for taking our
calls and registering us in their database as interested and in need of
these boxes. Good luck.
