RE: Does having screen curtain on save battery power?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hello Nimer,

I agree for the most part as long as you have auto brightness on which rarely 
puts your brightness about 20 or 25% unless you are outside in bright sunlight. 
I would say you might notice a difference if you set it to 90% manually or 0%, 
though.
Whether given exactly the same usage (difficult to do) you would save 10 
minutes or 1 hour I don’t know, somehow I doubt it would be 1 hour, though. I 
rarely turn on screen curtain anyways and I can’t be bothered to set my phone 
to 0% manually so that every time I want to show my wife something I have to 
turn it up. If for some reason I turn on screen curtain I usually remember when 
I show the phone to somebody and they tell me the screen is black. What’s very 
interesting is if you tell somebody “Hey,m look at that picture of my dog, 
isn’t it cute” and you have screen curtain on and they are so embarrassed that 
they say “Yeah, that’s a great picture”. Sort of like that story of the queen 
who walked around the palace naked and asked everybody if they didn’t think her 
dress was beautiful and nobody wanted to say anything against her *smile*.
It’s a good way to find out how comfortable somebody is with the fact that you 
are blind.

Even setting brightness to zero won’t really make any dent in the battery. If 
it does, it is a negligible amount. This has a lot to do with the type of 
display technology used. In an iPhone X, this should make a more meaningful 
impact on battery performance.
If someone disagrees, they should test it. Use your phone normally with and 
without, and see what, difference, if any, you observe.

Thanks.

It does if it automatically sets brightness to 0%. This way you can turn auto 
brightness on and then turn the screen curtain on. Your brightness will be at 
0% despite the auto brightness and if you want a sighted person to look at the 
phone all you have to do is turn screen curtain off and the phone will revert 
to whatever auto brightness setting is appropriate.
If you turn auto brightness of and manually set brightness to 0% then you have 
to go into Settings > Display and Brightness and turn it up which involves a 
lot more steps than a 3-finger triple tap.

That's probably because only blind persons would want to turn brightness very

Ed,

Turning auto brightness on and off was moved into Accessibility Settings 
although I don’t for the life of me know why Apple did this, according to my 
logic it is much more appropriate under Display and Brightness in the main 
Settings where it used to be.
Anyhow, open Accessibility Settings, you are looking for “Display 
Accommodations”, it’s the fourth item from the top after Voiceover, Zoom and 
Magnifier.

As for brightness dropping to 0% when auto brightness is enabled and screen 
curtain is on this does seem to be the case although when I first tried this it 
didn’t seem to be so. When I first toggled screen curtain on and checked it 
still read the same value as before, but once I locked my phone and then 
unlocked it it was reading as 0% so it seems that if you turn on screen curtain 
the phone first has to lock and then as long as you keep screen curtain on when 
you unlock it the screen brightness is indeed at 0%.

Regards,
Sieghard
turn auto brightness off and then manually set your brightness to 0% or 5% if 
you want just a bit of backlighting.

Also, just as a little tip which I think many of us forget, when you can’t find 
a particular setting but pretty much know a word from it’s title, just try the 
search 

RE: Vo not speaking, 100% on ac power, in iPhoneX

Try to reboot your phone and see if that helps. My iPhone 6S Plus still says

RE: Door locks with fingerprint technology with Bluetooth and accessible app?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Ask for electronic keypad locks from well-known companies like Schlage, Weiser, 
Yale, Tamor etc.
Make sure you specify you want just an electronic lock, not a smartlock unless 
of course you do want a smartlock.
Also, make sure you check to see if the lock has buttons to push and not a 
touchscreen, those are just a pain in the neck and you have to put on dots and 
all that. Tough luck if the trick or treaters come and peal all the tactile 
dots off your touchscreen.
Mostly the button locks come in two flavours: phone keypad layout or a layout 
where you have simply two rows of buttons, the top one is 1 to 5 and the bottom 
one is 6 to 0. This means 6 is under the 1 and 0 under the 5. I have had two 
locks with this layout from Schlage and Weiser and both had a separate “Lock” 
button above the top rown in the middle (right above the 3).
I don’t mind either layout, but it’s up to you.

Sieghard

My mom has a keypad lock like the one you mentioned. It drives me crazy, 
because the numbers go from 1-5 along the top row, and 6-0 along the bottom 
next row, with some unknown button right underneath the 8. I really wish it had 
the numbers in a standard telephone layout, but I'm at their house so rarely 
that it's not really a big deal. If I ever did get a keypad lock like this, I'd 
like to find one with the numbers in the standard telephone layout.

RE: the sogga of the bricked iPhone X

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Here is what Apple has to say about it:

Face ID works best when the device is arm’s length or less from your face (25 - 
50 cm away from your face).

For all you americans out there who don’t know a centimetre from a Kilogramm, 
25 cm is 10 inches and 50 cm is 20 inches.
So, you should hold it at least the distance of a sheet of paper held the long 
way (11 inches) away and probably a bit further.

RE: changes with buttons again and still again, help!

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If you turn ringtone volume to 100% and then disable change with buttons it 
should stay at 100%.
If change with buttons is enabled there is a much greater chance that you might 
accidently turn the ringer volume down if you press the volume down button 
while it is ringing.
I am not sure why your Facetime calls are not ringing, they are tied to the 
ringtone volume and by default whatever you set as your ringtone is also the 
Facetime tone.
However, you can set a different Facetime ringtone in Settings > Notifications 
> Facetime, tap on "Sounds.
Try and select a different ringtone for Facetime, it should play as soon as you 
double tap it. If it does get somebody to Facetime you and see if it works.
If it doesn't I'd try a reboot of the phone then try again.
If it still doesn't work as in regular phone calls ring, ringtones play when 
you select them in Settings > Notifications > Facetime but they don't play if 
somebody calls you then it's time for a reset network settings.
If even that doesn't fix it it's time to completely reset your iPhone back to 
factory settings, then before you restore from any backups get somebody to 
Facetime you and see if it now works, then restore your backup and try again.
If it still works then everything should be fine, if it doesn't then you 
probably have a corrupt backup and you have to set up your phone from scratch.
Hopefully it will work long before you even get to the reset network settings, 
but these are the things you can do to continue to trouble shoot this.

Sieghard

It is an old question. I was on the phone to accessibility. I have not been 
hearing my calendar and reminder tones, but I was not as unhappy about that as 
I was the fact that my Facetime calls are not ringing on my side. Upshot of the 
call was that I needed to turn on changes with buttons to have it ring. I said 
I would try it, but does anyone know when the changes with buttons begins to 
turn down the volume of the ringer and alerts? I have turned it back on and 
have ringtone set to 100 percent. I need to know how to keep it at 100 percent? 
So, so frustrated without an answer why Facetime won't ring. Thanks for any 
help. (gritting teeth in frustration).

because the numbers go from 1-5 along the top row, and 6-0 along the bottom 
next row, with some unknown button right underneath the 8. I really wish it had 
the numbers in a standard telephone layout, but I'm at their house so rarely 
that it's not really a big deal. If I ever did get a keypad lock like this, I'd 
like to find one with the numbers in the standard telephone layout.

 

 

Thanks,

Ari

Most of these locks are available at Home Depot, Best Buy also has some, but at

Definitely if you want just a basic electronic lock with keypad Home Depot or 
another large building supply store is a good place to start.

Amazon of course sells most of them as well.

Thanks a million folks for this valuable information. 

I do not have a security company, and I have no intention to hire one.  It is 
simply not needed in my area.

I asked my question because I have a tendency to lock myself out often.  That 
is why I thought of fingerprint or digital lock.

Now, I wonder how hard is it to install these locks.  Do I need to hire a 
specialist to assemble and install these kinds of locks, or I would be able to 
do it myself?  When it comes to the regular mechanical locks with keys, I 
always change them myself without hiring a Locksmith. I am not sure how hard it 
would be to install a digital lock by myself!

Cheers,

Cris

Find out the exact model and Google it, you’ll find all the features, specs and 
most likely a user manual in PDF.

I don’t know why anybody in their right mind would want to Alexa enable a 
doorlock. Alexa has no security as far as I can tell and if somebody knows you 
have Alexa and a smart doorlock that works with it all they have to do is walk 
up to an open window and ask Alexa to unlock your door. If I want to unlock my

Hi Sarai,




 




I'm glad it's working. YOu don't have to move your finger up one edge. Just 
start anywhere at the very bottom. You'll hear a pop sound. Then slide your 
finger straight up until you feel a vibration and hear a louder pop, and lift 
your finger.

It does if it automatically sets brightness to 0%. This way you can turn auto 
brightness on and then turn the screen curtain on. Your brightness will be at 
0% despite the auto brightness and if you want a sighted person to look at the 
phone all you have to do is turn screen curtain off and the phone will revert 
to whatever auto brightness setting is appropriate.

If you turn auto brightness of and manually set brightness to 0% then you have 
to go into Settings > Display and Brightness and turn it up which involves a 
lot more steps than a 3-finger triple tap.

Ed,

 

Turning auto brightness on and off was moved into Accessibility Settings 
although I don’t for the life of me know why Apple did this, according to my 
logic it is much more appropriate under Display and Brightness in the main 
Settings where it used to be.

Anyhow, open Accessibility Settings, you are looking for “Display 
Accommodations”, it’s the fourth item from the top after Voiceover, Zoom and 
Magnifier.

 

As for brightness dropping to 0% when auto brightness is enabled and screen 
curtain is on this does seem to be the case although when I first tried this it 
didn’t seem to be so. When I first toggled screen curtain on and checked it 
still read the same value as before, but once I locked my phone and then 
unlocked it it was reading as 0% so it seems that if you turn on screen curtain 
the phone first has to lock and then as long as you keep screen curtain on when 
you unlock it the screen brightness is indeed at 0%.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

turn auto brightness off and then manually set your brightness to 0% or 5% if 
you want just a bit of backlighting.

 

Also, just as a little tip which I think many of us forget, when you can’t find 
a particular setting but pretty much know a word from it’s title, just try the 
search field at the top of the main settings screen.

If you type either “auto” or “brightness” or even “bright” the setting for 
adjusting auto brightness shows up in the list of matches. It even reads the 
settings group where you find that setting.

Now, here is an interesting item: Auto Brightness exists twice, once in General 
> Accessibility > Magnifier and also General > Accessibility > Display 
Accommodation. If you tap on the item in the search results it does take you to 
the Accessibility Settings, but interestingly enough not straight into Display 
Accommodations.

When I checked Magnifier the setting for Auto Brightness there was turned off 
on my phone although it’s turned on in Display Accommodations. I assume maybe 
Apple moved it to Accessibility since you can control it separately for when 
you use the phone normally and when you turn on magnifier?

It is an old question. I was on the phone to accessibility. I have not been 
hearing my calendar and reminder tones, but I was not as unhappy about that as 
I was the fact that my Facetime calls are not ringing on my side. Upshot of the 
call was that I needed to turn on changes with buttons to have it ring. I said 
I would try it, but does anyone know when the changes with buttons begins to 
turn down the volume of the ringer and alerts? I have turned it back on and 
have ringtone set to 100 percent. I need to know how to keep it at 100 percent? 
So, so frustrated without an answer why Facetime won't ring. Thanks for any 
help. (gritting teeth in frustration).

Subject: Updated Envision AI

Hello,

I'm the developer of Envision AI. After a lot of community testing and support, 
we've reworked a lot of our old UI in favour a new, simpler and improved UI. 
Instead of having a row of 5-6 buttons with the user having to scroll through 
them one by one, we split the app into 3 different tabs - one for text 
recognition, one for general recognition and one for help and support. Under 
text recognition, you would find the live text and document text mode, under 
general recognition you would find the scene description and training mode.

The app is also fully translated and available Czech, Dutch, German and Hebrew. 
We've had very enthusiastic folks from the community who helped us out with the 
translations. I would love for the community to try it out and give us feedback 
on what can be improved. As always, I would be around to answer any questions 
you might have about the app.

Here's a link to the latest version:

RE: Does having screen curtain on save battery power?

[Nimer Jaber]

In any case, unless the iPhone is an iPhone X, the curtain does not conserve 
battery.

Thanks.

That's probably because only blind persons would want to turn brightness very 
low or off completely.

Ed,

Turning auto brightness on and off was moved into Accessibility Settings 
although I don’t for the life of me know why Apple did this, according to my 
logic it is much more appropriate under Display and Brightness in the main 
Settings where it used to be.
Anyhow, open Accessibility Settings, you are looking for “Display 
Accommodations”, it’s the fourth item from the top after Voiceover, Zoom and 
Magnifier.

As for brightness dropping to 0% when auto brightness is enabled and screen 
curtain is on this does seem to be the case although when I first tried this it 
didn’t seem to be so. When I first toggled screen curtain on and checked it 
still read the same value as before, but once I locked my phone and then 
unlocked it it was reading as 0% so it seems that if you turn on screen curtain 
the phone first has to lock and then as long as you keep screen curtain on when 
you unlock it the screen brightness is indeed at 0%.

Regards,
Sieghard
turn auto brightness off and then manually set your brightness to 0% or 5% if 
you want just a bit of backlighting.

Also, just as a little tip which I think many of us forget, when you can’t find 
a particular setting but pretty much know a word from it’s title, just try the 
search field at the top of the main settings screen.
If you type either “auto” or “brightness” or even “bright” the setting for 
adjusting auto brightness shows up in the list of matches. It even reads the 
settings group where you find that setting.
Now, here is an interesting item: Auto Brightness exists twice, once in General 
> Accessibility > Magnifier and also General > Accessibility > Display 
Accommodation. If you tap on the item in the search results it does take you to 
the Accessibility Settings, but interestingly enough not straight into Display 
Accommodations.
When I checked Magnifier the setting for Auto Brightness there was turned off 
on my phone although it’s turned on in Display Accommodations. I assume maybe 
Apple moved it to Accessibility since you can control it separately for when 
you use the phone normally and when you turn on magnifier?

Sieghard

RE: How to Read United States Public Library eBook Titles via the iOS OverDrive App

[M. Taylor]

Hello Terrie,

There is a help section at www.overdrive.com but, as I think Rebecca will 
agree, if one is totally blind and does not have access to sighted assistance, 
it's probably best to have a fellow VoiceOver user walk you through the process 
of using the app.

If you like, contact me, off-list, with your phone number, preferably a 
landline, the time zone in which you live, and the best times to contact you 
and we can take it from there.

Mark

Overdrive in general? Thanks again for sharing how to  borrow and read Kindel 
books with Overdrive.

Subject: How to Read United States Public Library eBook Titles via the iOS 
OverDrive App

Hello Everyone,  

Well, Rebecca, a list member, and I had a nice phone conversation regarding the 
Overdrive app today.  During the conversation, I provided instructions on how 
to search for, and download audio books.  

I told her that one cannot read ePub formatted eBook titles in Overdrive, via 
VoiceOver.  This continues to be the case.  

However, a short time after our conversation, she contacted me stating that she 
had successfully borrowed and downloaded a Kindle formatted eBook via 
Overdrive.  I was absolutely surprised and delighted for it never occurred to 
me to attempt to borrow a Kindle formatted title.  

I then contacted her to discuss the steps necessary to accomplish this.  She 
provided the broad strokes of the method stating that she wanted to explore the 
feature more thoroughly before posting to the list.

I have just confirmed her findings and am delighted to say that Kindle 
formatted eBooks work beautifully with VoiceOver, as one would expect since the 
titles are displayed from within the iOS Kindle app, itself.  

Below my signature, you will find the steps on how to borrow and return Kindle 
formatted eBooks via Overdrive.  You may use either the web or the iOS/Android 
app to actually obtain the titles.

Please note that the steps listed below assume that you know how to use 
Overdrive in order to search for, and borrow titles.  It also assumes that you 
have an Amazon.com account and that you are familiar with the Kindle and/or the 
Kindle app media system.

Remember, the purpose of OverDrive is to make available, for free, all of
the books owned by the US Public Library system.   

Even though the steps below may seem complicated, they are not.  In fact, I 
just downloaded two Kindle formatted eBooks in less than 2 minutes after 
borrowing them from the library.  

Remember, unlike Overdrive audio books, with the eBooks, you will borrow them 
via OverDrive and read them on Kindle.

Using my Focus 40 Blue Braille display with my iOS Kindle app, I can confirm 
that OverDrive titles are equally as accessible as their commercial 
counterparts.

A very special thanks to Rebecca Ilniski for bringing this feature to my 
attention.

Mark

RE: who is calling...

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

Hi Nancy,

Within "Settings", go to "Phone".  Under the "Calls" section, one of the 
categories is "Announce Calls".  One of the choices if you double tap this is 
"Always".

I hope this helps.

RE: the sogga of the bricked iPhone X

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I only played with an iPhone X at an Apple Store for a while last November and 
at first I could not get it to unlock. I tried to feel for these vibrations and 
all that and in the end I realized together with the young lady who was showing 
me the phone that I was doing the gesture to slow and hesitantly. Once I put my 
finger on the screen at the bottom and just swiped up it worked perfectly.

RE: the sogga of the bricked iPhone X

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Also, if your Dad set up Face Id that would probably make it much easier and 
there would be a lot less chance for this to happen. He would still have to put 
in his passcode from time to time, but not as often. Also, he must have really 
tried many many times for the phone to lock like that. I’d make sure the triple 
click option to enable Voiceover is turned on so you can more easily help him 
and tell him that if he is trying to unlock his phone with passcode and he 
tried 4 or 5 times and it doesn’t work to not keep trying although I believe it 
takes at least 10 attempts for the phone to lock down.

RE: How to Read United States Public Library eBook Titles via the iOS OverDrive App

[Terrie Terlau]

Hello Mark and rebecca,
Thanks to both of you for this  very helpful information. Can either of you 
point me in a direction to search for a resource that explains how to use 
Overdrive in general? Thanks again for sharing how to  borrow and read Kindel 
books with Overdrive.
Best,
Terrie  Terlau

Subject: How to Read United States Public Library eBook Titles via the iOS 
OverDrive App

Hello Everyone,  

Well, Rebecca, a list member, and I had a nice phone conversation regarding
the Overdrive app today.  During the conversation, I provided instructions
on how to search for, and download audio books.  

I told her that one cannot read ePub formatted eBook titles in Overdrive,
via VoiceOver.  This continues to be the case.  

However, a short time after our conversation, she contacted me stating that
she had successfully borrowed and downloaded a Kindle formatted eBook via
Overdrive.  I was absolutely surprised and delighted for it never occurred
to me to attempt to borrow a Kindle formatted title.  

I then contacted her to discuss the steps necessary to accomplish this.  She
provided the broad strokes of the method stating that she wanted to explore
the feature more thoroughly before posting to the list.

I have just confirmed her findings and am delighted to say that Kindle
formatted eBooks work beautifully with VoiceOver, as one would expect since
the titles are displayed from within the iOS Kindle app, itself.  

Below my signature, you will find the steps on how to borrow and return
Kindle formatted eBooks via Overdrive.  You may use either the web or the
iOS/Android app to actually obtain the titles.

Please note that the steps listed below assume that you know how to use
Overdrive in order to search for, and borrow titles.  It also assumes that
you have an Amazon.com account and that you are familiar with the Kindle
and/or the Kindle app media system.

Remember, the purpose of OverDrive is to make available, for free, all of
the books owned by the US Public Library system.   

Even though the steps below may seem complicated, they are not.  In fact, I
just downloaded two Kindle formatted eBooks in less than 2 minutes after
borrowing them from the library.  

Remember, unlike Overdrive audio books, with the eBooks, you will borrow
them via OverDrive and read them on Kindle.

Using my Focus 40 Blue Braille display with my iOS Kindle app, I can confirm
that OverDrive titles are equally as accessible as their commercial
counterparts.

A very special thanks to Rebecca Ilniski for bringing this feature to my
attention.

Mark

How to borrow and deliver Kindle Books

1.
Open your library's digital collection (you can find it using
www.overdrive.com).

2.
Find a Kindle Book to borrow. You can: .Tap or mouse over a title, then
select more to go to the title's details page. The details page lists the
formats available for that title, including Kindle Book (if available).
List of available formats on a title's details page. See instructions above.
Note: Some Kindle Books from your library (including many picture books,
read-alongs, and graphic novels) are not supported on certain Kindle devices
or reading apps. To check if an eBook has Kindle device or app restrictions,
look for a Device restrictions link under "Available formats." 
.Run a search or open a collection, then select Kindle Book under the
"Format" filter.
.Use the advanced search and choose Kindle Book in the "All formats"
drop-down menu.

3.
Once you find an available Kindle Book, select Borrow.
If prompted, sign in.
4.
Find the eBook you've borrowed on your Checkouts page (under your Account).
>From there, select Read now with Kindle.

You'll be taken to Amazon's website to complete checkout and send the eBook
to your Kindle device or reading app. If you're already signed into Amazon,
continue to step 5. If you're not signed into Amazon, skip to step 6.

5.
If you're signed into Amazon, choose a device or reading app from the
"Deliver to:" drop-down menu, then select Get library book. The book will be
sent to your Kindle device or reading app. 
Get library book button and Deliver to drop-down menu on Amazon's website.
See instructions above.
Note: You must complete this step for the book you borrowed to appear in the
"Your Content and Devices" list in your Amazon account. If the book does not
appear in this list, you won't be able to download it on any device.

6.
If you're not already signed into Amazon, select Get library book. You'll be
prompted to sign in.

After you sign in, choose the device or reading app where you'd like to send
the book you borrowed, then select Continue. The book will be sent to your

Re: OCR for German Text?

[Karthik Kannan]

Hey Harry, 

Just to chime in. I'm the developer of Envision AI. Envision can read 
German both in our live text mode and also for documents that you might 
need. Not only does it recognise and read German but also read it out in 
the German dialect. That should definitely be helpful to you if you're 
trying to learn the language. :)

Here's a link to the app: http://goo.gl/fptaYQ

Let me know if you have any questions. :)

Thanks, 
Karthik

Re: Updated Envision AI

[Karthik Kannan]

Hey Richard, 

Thanks for giving it a shot. I wasn't able to replicate the issue that you 
found with the updated version. Just to be clear, double tapping on the 
live text mode starts it and you should be able to hear a sound when it 
starts. Double tapping on the button again would make it stop. 

I will try this out on a iPhone 6s myself and get back to you if there are 
any issues that I notice. 

Thanks, 
Karthik

RE: Updated Envision AI

[Richard Turner]

I redownloaded this new version.
I double tapped on Live Text mode and it will not switch from off to on.
Double tapping on read document also had no impact.
I tried the general recognition tab and double tapped on scene description.  
After a very long time it decided that my laptop might be a lamp sitting on a 
desk.
I deleted the app, and reinstalled it, just in case there was an issue the 
first time.
No change in my results.  This is with an iPhone 6S.

I’ll stick with Seeing AI, which simply works, especially with the Short Text 
mode, but all of its other channels work well too.

Richard

Hello,

I'm the developer of Envision AI. After a lot of community testing and support, 
we've reworked a lot of our old UI in favour a new, simpler and improved UI. 
Instead of having a row of 5-6 buttons with the user having to scroll through 
them one by one, we split the app into 3 different tabs - one for text 
recognition, one for general recognition and one for help and support. Under 
text recognition, you would find the live text and document text mode, under 
general recognition you would find the scene description and training mode.

The app is also fully translated and available Czech, Dutch, German and Hebrew. 
We've had very enthusiastic folks from the community who helped us out with the 
translations. I would love for the community to try it out and give us feedback 
on what can be improved. As always, I would be around to answer any questions 
you might have about the app.

Here's a link to the latest version:

Thanks,
Karthik
