The extra two dots allow you to have a cursor so you actually know where you 
are editing.
The cursor is dots 7 and 8. And, by the way, I grew up with six dots as well.
Also if someone wanted to read in computer braille, you have to have the extra 
dots. But as someone pointed out, that is not the target audience for the 
BrailleMe device.
I'm just glad there are finally braille displays that are affordable.
The more the merrier.

What it comes down to is personal preference.
I'm waiting to get my hands on the Orbit Reader 20 to see how it compares to
other displays.
I've used:
HIMS Braille Edge 40,
Baum's Vario Ultra 20 and 40,
Humanware's Braillliant BI,
Freedom Scientific's Focus 40 and 14; not to mention several of the full
braille note takers.

Of the above list, the HIMS BrailleEdge 40 was my favorite.  But, when it
died after 3 years and was going to cost close to $2,500 to repair when a
new one was just a little more, I decided to wait to see the Orbit 20, which
I have not seen yet.

I liked the Braille Edge because it is quiet, solidly built, easy to switch
from USB to Bluetooth, has basic note taking functionality using an SD card
and comes with a 2 year warrantee.

It is too bad there are not places where you can go and test all the
displays to see which one fits your needs the best, because there is no one
display that is right for everyone.

HTH,
Richard

volume issue

2018-02-03 Thread Vicki W.

Good Morning,

For some reason there are times when I am listening to something and my volume 
goes up all on its own. I turn it down and within a minute or less it goes back 
up.

While doing this, it is making the sound that indicates the volume is going up 
or down.

I'm not touching the phone or IPad when this happens. I am using the latest IOS 
version.

Is there a setting I need to adjust somewhere?

Thanks.

Vicki

Just set it to automatic and back to manual and you never get the notifications

If that doesn’t work, set it to automatic, then close all apps and reboot your

In reading about the BrailleMe, it only has 6-dot cells instead of the usual

I did not dig too deeply, but is the battery user replaceable?

I like the idea of having the cursor routing buttons, I'm not sure about only

Re: Siri problem

I googled What does the name SIRI stand for. And found this article on the
Forbes web site:

Adam Cheyer, Co-Founder of Siri

As a startup, when coming up with Siri's name, we wanted something that was
easy to remember, short to type, comfortable to pronounce, and a not-too-common
human name. And we wanted to be able to get the domain name for not too much
money...

Once Siri became the leading candidate, everyone on the team had their own
favorite explanation of the meaning. Dag Kittlaus, our Norwegian-American CEO,
once considered using Siri as the name of his child and liked the Norse meaning
"beautiful woman who leads you to victory." For me, Siri, which means "secret"
in Swahili, was a tip of the hat to our pre-named days when we began as
stealth-company.com. I also liked the fact that it
was the reverse of Iris, a software system I helped build as part of the CALO
project which Siri spun out of. Some liked the resemblance to SRI, which was
the research institute that ran the CALO project. We knew about Siri = beauty
in Sinhalese, but missed that SHIRI = "butt" in Japanese (they're not the same
word, but closely pronounced...)

And it was all a big surprise for the team that
Apple decided to keep the original Siri
name for its launch as part of iOS. There were other candidates that were
leading, up until the final weeks...

This question originally
appearedon
Quora.

Re: Siri problem

2018-02-03 Thread cwc

I have run into a problem with Siri using Uber. When I ask Siri to set up a 
ride, it tells me that it has not been taught to do that. Two weeks ago it 
could. 
I spoke with Apple Support, and they duplicated the procedure and got the 
same result. Anybody know what is going on?

Uber was not helpful with this issue. 

Thanks.

RE: Screen Recording

2018-02-03 Thread M. Taylor

This bug must have just been introduced because I have a screen recording from 
about two weeks ago and it’s fine.  However, I am experiencing the same problem 
as reported, in my latest screen recording.  

Very, very interesting.  

We should all report this.

Sieghard, I received the screen recording you sent, off-list.

It’s getting so that I am becoming afraid of upgrading to even a small release 
for fear of yet another iOS feature being broken.

This is a bug, when iOS 11 was first released Voiceover came through the

I noticed it as well a couple of weeks ago. I was going to send a message to

Now, if you mean the VoiceOver volume on the recording, it is very quiet

If you intend to have the screen recording include what VoiceOver is saying,

I am not sure if there is a setting to have VoiceOver come over the speaker

Now, if you mean the VoiceOver volume on the recording, it is very quiet 
because it is in the earpiece during recording.
If you intend to have the screen recording include what VoiceOver is saying, 
then you would probably need an external speaker.
I am not sure if there is a setting to have VoiceOver come over the speaker 
during recording.

Subject: Screen Recording

Dear all,
I have an issue with the screen recording feature in IOS 11. During recording, 
the VO is heard only through the earpiece of the iPhone and after recording, 
during playback, the VO volume is ver low such that one hardly hears it. I'm 
using an iPhone 6s, IOS 11.2.5. What is the remedy?

BrailleMe was RE: best braille display foor ios and bluetooth

In reading about the BrailleMe, it only has 6-dot cells instead of the usual 
8-dot cells, so I presume that computer braille isn't really supported?

I did not dig too deeply, but is the battery user replaceable?

I like the idea of having the cursor routing buttons, I'm not sure about only 
having 6 dots.

What it comes down to is personal preference.
I'm waiting to get my hands on the Orbit Reader 20 to see how it compares to 
other displays.
I've used:
HIMS Braille Edge 40,
Baum's Vario Ultra 20 and 40,
Humanware's Braillliant BI,
Freedom Scientific's Focus 40 and 14; not to mention several of the full 
braille note takers.

Of the above list, the HIMS BrailleEdge 40 was my favorite.  But, when it died 
after 3 years and was going to cost close to $2,500 to repair when a new one 
was just a little more, I decided to wait to see the Orbit 20, which I have not 
seen yet.

I liked the Braille Edge because it is quiet, solidly built, easy to switch 
from USB to Bluetooth, has basic note taking functionality using an SD card and 
comes with a 2 year warrantee.

It is too bad there are not places where you can go and test all the displays 
to see which one fits your needs the best, because there is no one display that 
is right for everyone.

The Focus works very well with laptops, iPhones, and other devices. You can 
update the firmware yourself. I have done it. It is not bulky. It is very 
sturdy. Especially the new fifth gen 40 and 14..  I still wish they had a 20 
instead of a 14 but both the 20 and 14 are great.

Re: Help a dummy. Quicknav and Apple TV

2018-02-03 Thread MrGrizzly

Hi

I am also having huge issues with QuickNav.
I am trying to setup Apple TV 4th Gen iOS 11.2.5 for my dad who is registered 
blind.

He needs two things to overcome his disabilities, these being:-
1. Voiceover
2. A learned ‘bigger’ remote as the Apple remotw is too small and fiddly for 
him to hold and operate properly.

I have setup the learned remote, and this operates the Apple TV perfectly.

I have enabled the voiceover and with the Apple remote, the voiceover is good 
and works in all apps.

Good so far ...

If I now enable the voiceover and try to navigate using the nice big ‘learned 
remote’  the navigation becomes totally unusable.
If I select Netflix it is as if the screen changes to Netflix but the 
navigation is stuck on home screen.  The outline cursor sits ‘between icons’, 
vertical navigation becomes impossible, everything fails.

If I return to the home scree using the Apple TV rdmote and disable voiceover I 
can then do everything perfectly using the learned remote controller.

My dad has been using a learned remote with voiceover perfectly well on Apple 
TV 2nd Gen for some months now, exclusively for Netflix.
It has been so good that I got him Apple TV 4th Gen so he can enjoy BBC 
iPlayer, ITV hub etc also.  He was so disappointed when he gave it back telling 
me it was rubbish.  I put him back on the 2nd Gen, brought home the 4th Gen, 
and Sadly I have to agree with him.  It is totally unusable.

Reading lots of forums leads me to believe that the problem can be pinned down 
to ‘QuickNav’.
Please, does anybody know anyvway to remove, disable QuickNav?

Anything that will make the 4th Gen RV usable for my dad will be mist welcome.

Thanks for reading my post.
Steve

Speech Central Questions

2018-02-03 Thread Sandra E. Finley

Using fully updated iPhone 7 with Speech Central Pro. A few questions:

1. Has anyone found a user guide for this app?

2. I have been succcessful in adding web page articles to the app, but have not 
been able to add a .pdf document I need to read. Got the .pdf as an attachment 
to an email, opened it and tried to add to SC through the Share Sheet, but to 
no avail.

3. Under Button Functions in settings there is something about remapping 
buttons 
To this app. How does one do that?

RE: Screen Recording

This is a bug, when iOS 11 was first released Voiceover came through the 
external speaker and was perfectly audible during playback. I haven’t used 
screenrecording that often so I don’t know in which update this got broken, but 
I noticed it as well a couple of weeks ago. I was going to send a message to 
Apple Accessibility, but forgot. I think as many people as possible should send 
a message, though, because screenrecording worked great for showing a developer 
if something didn’t work in an app or if buttons were unlabelled etc. Now that 
is no longer possible.

Sieghard

Hi,
I just tried it on my iPhone 6S.  The VoiceOver volume returned to normal after 
stopping the recording and then playing it back.
Now, if you mean the VoiceOver volume on the recording, it is very quiet 
because it is in the earpiece during recording.
If you intend to have the screen recording include what VoiceOver is saying, 
then you would probably need an external speaker.
I am not sure if there is a setting to have VoiceOver come over the speaker 
during recording.

RE: best braille display foor ios and bluetooth

2018-02-03 Thread M. Taylor

I have only just reviewed this thread and its very interesting.  

As for me, I would never consider purchasing anything other than a 40 cell 
Braille display.  I own a 20 cell Braille display but find it very fatiguing to 
use.  

Currently, I'm using a Focus 40 Blue that I obtained in 2013.  

All I can say is that it is a true workhorse.  

I have used it for hundreds and hundreds of Braille input hours and countless 
more for Braille output.  In fact, I used it to obtain my EBAE and UEB Braille 
Proofreading and EBAE and UEB Braille Transcriber certification licenses.

It works beautifully with iOS 11.x.  

Were I to purchase a new Braille display, based on my past experience and given 
the fact that I am a Jaws for Windows user, I would stick with Freedom 
Scientific products.

RE: turning off do not disturb while driving

Just set it to automatic and back to manual and you never get the notifications 
again.
If that doesn’t work, set it to automatic, then close all apps and reboot your 
phone, now set it to manual and do another reboot. I don’t think it[‘s 
necessary, though, just setting it to automatic and back to manual should do it.

So the focus works well with ios 11? I thought it would be a fairly bulky

RE: Screen Recording

2018-02-03 Thread M. Taylor

Hello Godwin,

I have conducted two screen recording sessions; 1 on my 8 Plus and 1 on my 6 S 
Plus.  In both instances, VoiceOver is played back at normal volume.  

During the recordings, I used only the iphone’s internal speaker.  I was very 
pleased with the results.  

I should add that I copied the recordings to my PC and played them back via 
various applications including VLC and Microsoft Movie Maker.

Dear all, 
I have an issue with the screen recording feature in IOS 11. During recording, 
the VO is heard only through the earpiece of the iPhone and after recording, 
during playback, the VO volume is ver low such that one hardly hears it. I'm 
using an iPhone 6s, IOS 11.2.5. What is the remedy?

What it comes down to is personal preference.
I'm waiting to get my hands on the Orbit Reader 20 to see how it compares to 
other displays.

I've used:
HIMS Braille Edge 40,
Baum's Vario Ultra 20 and 40,
Humanware's Braillliant BI,
Freedom Scientific's Focus 40 and 14; not to mention several of the full 
braille note takers.

Of the above list, the HIMS BrailleEdge 40 was my favorite.  But, when it 
died after 3 years and was going to cost close to $2,500 to repair when a 
new one was just a little more, I decided to wait to see the Orbit 20, which 
I have not seen yet.

I liked the Braille Edge because it is quiet, solidly built, easy to switch 
from USB to Bluetooth, has basic note taking functionality using an SD card 
and comes with a 2 year warrantee.

It is too bad there are not places where you can go and test all the

I just tried it on my iPhone 6S.  The VoiceOver volume returned to normal after 
stopping the recording and then playing it back.
Now, if you mean the VoiceOver volume on the recording, it is very quiet 
because it is in the earpiece during recording.
If you intend to have the screen recording include what VoiceOver is saying, 
then you would probably need an external speaker.
I am not sure if there is a setting to have VoiceOver come over the speaker 
during recording.

combination with laptops or is it to deep so that you have to reach too far 
back?
I hope the braille cells wont be broken too quickly…

RE: Screen Recording

Hi,
I just tried it on my iPhone 6S.  The VoiceOver volume returned to normal after 
stopping the recording and then playing it back.
Now, if you mean the VoiceOver volume on the recording, it is very quiet 
because it is in the earpiece during recording.
If you intend to have the screen recording include what VoiceOver is saying, 
then you would probably need an external speaker.
I am not sure if there is a setting to have VoiceOver come over the speaker 
during recording.

Dear all,
I have an issue with the screen recording feature in IOS 11. During recording, 
the VO is heard only through the earpiece of the iPhone and after recording, 
during playback, the VO volume is ver low such that one hardly hears it. I'm 
using an iPhone 6s, IOS 11.2.5. What is the remedy?

Hello all,
I am finally getting around to linking my Sonos system with my Amazon products. 
I can sign in on the computer but cannot sign into my account on the Sonos app 
even though I know my password is correct. I need to do this in order to add 
the Amazon system to my Sonos and link them. I can double tap the sign in 
button all day but nothing happens. Is this a glitch in the app? I am using an 
iPhone X with the latest update.

Re: best braille display foor ios and bluetooth

So the focus works well with ios 11? I thought it would be a fairly bulky 
device what are your experiences for using it on the go? Does it work well in 
combination with laptops or is it to deep so that you have to reach too far 
back?
I hope the braille cells wont be broken too quickly…

I tried the Brailliant for all of one day in early December. Bluetooth 
sucked, and Usb was ok but not great. I sent it back. I now have the 
focus 40 5th gen and absolutely love it. Dot quality is crisper, made of 
more and steel no plastic, sd  slot included for use as a future ability 
to read books and possibly write in stand-alone mode.  It comes with a 
nice case, can connect to five bluetooth devices, and I would recommend 
it.
