I've started seeing rumors on YouTube that the iPhone X will stop

production in early summer due to low demand. Time will tell, and

Apple will reveal more at their WWDC event in June and later the fall

press event when they reveal the new iPhone/iOS versions and features.

I was ready for a new phone last summer, but waited for the event on

the new phone last fall, and decided the new phones weren't for me. I

ended up getting a 7 Plus, which I am very happy with.

Please explain then?
Because the email sounds like your putting your phone into a holder on these 
cardboard glasses that sit on your face.
So, I thought the same thing.

That doesn't appear to be a smart move if that's the case.

Hi Sandy,
No, apple hasn't done anything on this market yet. It is a new market and it is 
not profitable yet. However there are ways to use your phone as a smart glass. 
It is what I did and what I do when I want to use a better camera and the 
compass.
Google has 2 great ideas about this. There is the google cardboard. It is a 
simple peace of cardboard that you are going to use on your eyes. You pay for 
it, it is around $15 on amazon, and they come already folded and ready to use. 
Also if  you want you can pay for the head straps that are going to hold the 
google cardboard on your head because you will need to put your iPhone inside 
the google cardboard. This choice has pros and cons.
Pros: it is the cheapest choice, and for learning is great due to the low cost.
Cons:
They are a little bit uncomfortable, and they are not very durable.
Now, here is the best choice that I have found, and they are what I use when I 
need to do activities with a lot of movement. The google daydream. The cost is 
100 dollars. Don't buy the google daydream first edition. Google released a 
newer version on October 2017, and it is the best. In the google daydream 
second edition or google daydream view you will put your iPhone, and you are 
able to do what you want. This device is made with fiber so it is more 
comfortable, also it comes with 3 straps so it will not fall.
What are the pros and cons?
Pros: it is cheaper than any other smart glass, and you are able to put an 
iPhone also.
It is made in fiber so it is more comfortable.
Cons:
This is a virtual reality headset, so the camera will be cover. However what I 
did and what many other blind people have done is ask someone to help you doing 
a hole on the google daydream on the area where the iPhone camera lens will be.
I use the google daydream when I am on activities with a lot of movement.
The vision 800 glasses are fashion but they are also fragile, so I don't use 
them when I need to run or move a lot.

Someone on this list was telling about a 15000 m a vibrating battery pack. I

the control key doesn't seem to function as expected.

RE: Using Smart Glasses with apps on the phone?

2018-03-22 Thread Jeremy Gilley

Please explain then?
Because the email sounds like your putting your phone into a holder on these
cardboard glasses that sit on your face.
So, I thought the same thing.
Trying to picture your phone sitting on your face.
That doesn't appear to be a smart move if that's the case.

Subject: RE: Using Smart Glasses with apps on the phone?

Hi Sandy,
No, apple hasn't done anything on this market yet. It is a new market and it
is not profitable yet. However there are ways to use your phone as a smart
glass. It is what I did and what I do when I want to use a better camera and
the compass.
Google has 2 great ideas about this. There is the google cardboard. It is a
simple peace of cardboard that you are going to use on your eyes. You pay
for it, it is around $15 on amazon, and they come already folded and ready
to use. Also if  you want you can pay for the head straps that are going to
hold the google cardboard on your head because you will need to put your
iPhone inside the google cardboard. This choice has pros and cons.
Pros: it is the cheapest choice, and for learning is great due to the low
cost.
Cons:
They are a little bit uncomfortable, and they are not very durable.
Now, here is the best choice that I have found, and they are what I use when
I need to do activities with a lot of movement. The google daydream. The
cost is 100 dollars. Don't buy the google daydream first edition. Google
released a newer version on October 2017, and it is the best. In the google
daydream second edition or google daydream view you will put your iPhone,
and you are able to do what you want. This device is made with fiber so it
is more comfortable, also it comes with 3 straps so it will not fall.
What are the pros and cons?
Pros: it is cheaper than any other smart glass, and you are able to put an
iPhone also.
It is made in fiber so it is more comfortable.
Cons:
This is a virtual reality headset, so the camera will be cover. However what
I did and what many other blind people have done is ask someone to help you
doing a hole on the google daydream on the area where the iPhone camera lens
will be.
I use the google daydream when I am on activities with a lot of movement.
The vision 800 glasses are fashion but they are also fragile, so I don't use
them when I need to run or move a lot.

Re: question about the iPhone X

Wayne, I'm just wondering what made your decision, about not going withthe 
the x and instead going with the 7 plus What are  some things that you like 
about the 7 plus? I know of a number of people that have either the 7 and 
the 7 plus and they all are very happy  with their phones.  It would be 
interesting to know your thoughts. The se phones are our first iphones that 
we recently upgraded my t-mobile account from 2 samsung t-199  button 
phones.  Amoungst so many other things about our phones, and learning so 
much now, We do love the size of the se phones.  We have looked at  so far 
the 7 and also I think it was the 6s. As we get too we'll check out some of 
the other iphones now that we have more an understanding about them.

I've started seeing rumors on YouTube that the iPhone X will stop
production in early summer due to low demand. Time will tell, and
Apple will reveal more at their WWDC event in June and later the fall
press event when they reveal the new iPhone/iOS versions and features.
I was ready for a new phone last summer, but waited for the event on
the new phone last fall, and decided the new phones weren't for me. I
ended up getting a 7 Plus, which I am very happy with.

So recently I was getting close to maxing out on my iPhone SE storage. I went 
into the iPhone storage to see what I could clear out or what was taking up all 
the space. 

Not surprising for me that it was VoiceDream Reader. Anyway, I clicked on the 
app itself and went down the screen where it told me the app and document size. 
Past the delete app option to where is says recommendations. Below 
recommendations, there’s an edit button and below that, there is I guess a list 
of files contained within VDR.

This is where I’m encountering the bug. In the list, Voiceover doesn’’t speak 
the names of the files. There’s apparently a rotor option to either activate or 
delete the item I’m on, but since I have no feedback on the name of the file… 
Clicking on the edit button doesn’t change anything either. Same list with the 
same rotor actions and same unspoken feedback from VoiceOver.

This list of files only seems to appear in VDR. It’s not present in the Bard or 
other storage apps like OneDrive/Google Drive in the storage subsetting.

Anyway, I got my sighted wife to help me and with her reading out the names of 
the larger size files, I was able to clear up around 8 GB of storage just by 
deleting some old audiobooks from VDR. The other thing is that while I had 
previously deleted a lot of the titles contained in the list after having 
listened to them, it seems that they’re not entirely deleted from the device or 
app.

This is on my iPhone SE running iOS 11.2.6.

Anyone else have the same issue?

Re: Using Smart Glasses with apps on the phone?

I know that AIRA uses IOS and they use a few different types of smart 
glasses.  What do you want to use them for?

Do I understand this correctly, you are basically strapping your camera to

Hi Sandy,
No, apple hasn't done anything on this market yet. It is a new market and it 
is not profitable yet. However there are ways to use your phone as a smart 
glass. It is what I did and what I do when I want to use a better camera and 
the compass.
Google has 2 great ideas about this. There is the google cardboard. It is a 
simple peace of cardboard that you are going to use on your eyes. You pay 
for it, it is around $15 on amazon, and they come already folded and ready 
to use. Also if  you want you can pay for the head straps that are going to 
hold the google cardboard on your head because you will need to put your 
iPhone inside the google cardboard. This choice has pros and cons.
Pros: it is the cheapest choice, and for learning is great due to the low 
cost.

Cons:
They are a little bit uncomfortable, and they are not very durable.
Now, here is the best choice that I have found, and they are what I use when 
I need to do activities with a lot of movement. The google daydream. The 
cost is 100 dollars. Don't buy the google daydream first edition. Google 
released a newer version on October 2017, and it is the best. In the google 
daydream second edition or google daydream view you will put your iPhone, 
and you are able to do what you want. This device is made with fiber so it 
is more comfortable, also it comes with 3 straps so it will not fall.

What are the pros and cons?
Pros: it is cheaper than any other smart glass, and you are able to put an 
iPhone also.

It is made in fiber so it is more comfortable.
Cons:
This is a virtual reality headset, so the camera will be cover. However what 
I did and what many other blind people have done is ask someone to help you 
doing a hole on the google daydream on the area where the iPhone camera lens 
will be.
I use the google daydream when I am on activities with a lot of movement. 
The vision 800 glasses are fashion but they are also fragile, so I don't use 
them when I need to run or move a lot.

Subject: Using Smart Glasses with apps on the phone?

Hi,

   I have been toying with the idea of buying some smart glasses, not 
those for low vision users, but the ones which take video. I am thinking 
they could be useful with apps like Be My Eyes or Seeing AI, BiSpecular or 
Periscope. I don't want to invest in Aira (if that is spelt right) I 
prefer to buy some off the shelf ones, like those from PivotHead, which 
are much cheaper and seem to be better technology. Using just my phone for 
assistance, wlking around with it directed in front of me, looks like an 
invitation to be mugged! I'd even mug myself!! But with some discrete 
glasses, I would be less vulnerable, plus, I would get info on where my 
face was directed, instead of having to manage the phone with a cane or 
dog as well.

   So, has anyone gone down this route? Does anyone know which glasses 
will work with apps on the phone? All and any info most welcome!

Sandy.

Re: question about the iPhone X

2018-03-22 Thread Wayne Merritt

I've started seeing rumors on YouTube that the iPhone X will stop
production in early summer due to low demand. Time will tell, and
Apple will reveal more at their WWDC event in June and later the fall
press event when they reveal the new iPhone/iOS versions and features.
I was ready for a new phone last summer, but waited for the event on
the new phone last fall, and decided the new phones weren't for me. I
ended up getting a 7 Plus, which I am very happy with.

RE: updating my payment method on my iCloud storage on my iPhone

Go to the first item in Settings where it says your name followed by "Apple Id, 
iCloud, iTunes and App Store".
Double tap on Payment and Shipping
Double tap your current payment method, it will most likely say Mastercard, a 
bunch of bullets and the last 4 digits of your card.
You will most likely be asked for your iPhone unlock PIN, after you enter it 
you can edit your first name, last name, credit card number, expiry date, CVV, 
phone number and billing address.
If all you have to do is put in a different card number just tap on the card 
number field and enter your new card number. I don't think you have to specify 
whether it's a Visa or Mastercard, it will recognize this automatically.
Then enter the expiry date and CV code of your new card, once you are done 
double tap on "Save' at the top left corner and it's done.

Hi I had to get A new credit card.

So I have to replace my one that was paying for my i Cloud storage on my iPhone.

So how do I once I tap on my name and get to where it says the name of the card 
that I am currently using.

How then do I remove that card and replace it with the new one?

The card that I am currently using is A master card.

And the new card is A visa so I need to change that as well.

So how do you make those changes on the phone or is it easier to do it on the 
computer?

If it is easier to do it on the computer then where do you go and make thos 
same changes?

Nothing else has changed just my payment method.

So look for assistance with this.

RE: Using Smart Glasses with apps on the phone?

Do I understand this correctly, you are basically strapping your camera to your 
face in front of your eyes with these Google Daydream things?

Subject: RE: Using Smart Glasses with apps on the phone?

Hi Sandy,
No, apple hasn't done anything on this market yet. It is a new market and it is 
not profitable yet. However there are ways to use your phone as a smart glass. 
It is what I did and what I do when I want to use a better camera and the 
compass.
Google has 2 great ideas about this. There is the google cardboard. It is a 
simple peace of cardboard that you are going to use on your eyes. You pay for 
it, it is around $15 on amazon, and they come already folded and ready to use. 
Also if  you want you can pay for the head straps that are going to hold the 
google cardboard on your head because you will need to put your iPhone inside 
the google cardboard. This choice has pros and cons.
Pros: it is the cheapest choice, and for learning is great due to the low cost.
Cons:
They are a little bit uncomfortable, and they are not very durable.
Now, here is the best choice that I have found, and they are what I use when I 
need to do activities with a lot of movement. The google daydream. The cost is 
100 dollars. Don't buy the google daydream first edition. Google released a 
newer version on October 2017, and it is the best. In the google daydream 
second edition or google daydream view you will put your iPhone, and you are 
able to do what you want. This device is made with fiber so it is more 
comfortable, also it comes with 3 straps so it will not fall.
What are the pros and cons?
Pros: it is cheaper than any other smart glass, and you are able to put an 
iPhone also.
It is made in fiber so it is more comfortable.
Cons:
This is a virtual reality headset, so the camera will be cover. However what I 
did and what many other blind people have done is ask someone to help you doing 
a hole on the google daydream on the area where the iPhone camera lens will be.
I use the google daydream when I am on activities with a lot of movement. The 
vision 800 glasses are fashion but they are also fragile, so I don't use them 
when I need to run or move a lot.

Anthony,

This is absolutely the wrong list to post your item for sale.  

Furthermore, since you have been a member of this community since October 31, 
2014, you are well aware of the list policy that requires members to first 
obtain permission before posting any items for sale, on-list.

Since you blatantly disregarded this policy, I have suspended your posting 
privileges until such time as you contact me, off-list, stating that you will 
not ignore this policy in the future.

There are several new gestures that perform functions that were performed

the side button. There are AppleVis podcasts that explain the differences. 
I'm pretty sure David Woodbridge did some on his iSee podcast as well, and 
Jonathan Mosen demonstrates them on his Blind Side podcast.

Bone conduction sunglasses

Hi

I was having a look on Amazon for bone conduction headphones and I saw a few

updating my payment method on my iCloud storage on my iPhone

2018-03-22 Thread Casey


Hi I had to get A new credit card.

So I have to replace my one that was paying for my i Cloud storage on my 
iPhone.


So how do I once I tap on my name and get to where it says the name of 
the card that I am currently using.


How then do I remove that card and replace it with the new one?

The card that I am currently using is A master card.

And the new card is A visa so I need to change that as well.

So how do you make those changes on the phone or is it easier to do it 
on the computer?


If it is easier to do it on the computer then where do you go and make 
thos same changes?


Nothing else has changed just my payment method.

So look for assistance with this.

VoiceOver/VoiceDream Reader bug

2018-03-22 Thread Cristóbal

Hello list,

So recently I was getting close to maxing out on my iPhone SE storage. I
went into the iPhone storage to see what I could clear out or what was
taking up all the space. 

Not surprising for me that it was VoiceDream Reader. Anyway, I clicked on
the app itself and went down the screen where it told me the app and
document size. Past the delete app option to where is says recommendations.
Below recommendations, there’s an edit button and below that, there is I
guess a list of files contained within VDR.

This is where I’m encountering the bug. In the list, Voiceover doesn’’t
speak the names of the files. There’s apparently a rotor option to either
activate or delete the item I’m on, but since I have no feedback on the name
of the file… Clicking on the edit button doesn’t change anything either.
Same list with the same rotor actions and same unspoken feedback from
VoiceOver.

This list of files only seems to appear in VDR. It’s not present in the Bard
or other storage apps like OneDrive/Google Drive in the storage subsetting.

Anyway, I got my sighted wife to help me and with her reading out the names
of the larger size files, I was able to clear up around 8 GB of storage just
by deleting some old audiobooks from VDR. The other thing is that while I
had previously deleted a lot of the titles contained in the list after
having listened to them, it seems that they’re not entirely deleted from the
device or app.

This is on my iPhone SE running iOS 11.2.6.

Anyone else have the same issue?

the keyboards and they had several keyboards about 8 or 9 of them so we'd

Re: question about the iPhone X

2018-03-22 Thread Woody Anna Dresner

Hi Arlene,

There are several new gestures that perform functions that were performed with 
the Home button on previous phones. Some functions are taken over by the side 
button. There are AppleVis podcasts that explain the differences. I'm pretty 
sure David Woodbridge did some on his iSee podcast as well, and Jonathan Mosen 
demonstrates them on his Blind Side podcast.

Best,
Anna

RE: Bone conduction headsets, Are they worth buying?

For $179.95 I'll stick with seriously high quality sound over the ear 
headphones and deal with comfort and possibly warm ears and stick with my $20

Anyway, I use them all day every day. I use a head set for work all day with 
jaws and so I like to give my ears a break whenever I can. I use my Trekz Air 
for audiobook listening, podcasting and general stuff on my iPhone when I’m 
away from my PC. I would consider myself a heavy iPhone user and a charge 
pretty much gets me through the day. 

I also use them when I’m on my treadmill or stationary bike. Convenient in that 
my ears don’t get all hot and I can crank the volume up without feeling 
disorientated. They’re not going to win you any style points though. My wife 
calls my Trekz those trekkie  looking headphones. 

Call quality while ok, it’s probably not going to be able to replace a headset 
meant for talking on the phone full time.

Anyway, I like my Trekz Air for the break they give my eardrumbs and 
convenience. For $150 though, they’re not cheap.

I have used them. I have a somewhat large head, so the Aftershokz were too 
tight and uncomfortable to wear, but the sound quality was good, though I think 
the battery life isn't great. 

You can usually return them within 30 days for a refund.

So, it might be worth trying, if you can be sure you can return them if you 
don't like them.

Some folks on this list love them, but there is nothing better than trying them 
for yourself.

Hello folks,

I wonder if any of you have used bone conduction headsets.  Are they worth 
buying?  I like to know how clear the sound is and how comfortable are they to 
wear.

I do not have any hearing problems, but since I use headsets while I am using 
my computer, my iPad, my iPhone, and even my android tablet, I thought 
protecting my ear drums against potential damage is a good idea. I am also 
thinking that keeping my ear open to know my surrounding while walking in the 
streets and using navigation, a bone conducting headset is theoretically the 
most appropriate.

I am just not sure if it is worth to throw away over 100 bucks to try.  For 
this I hope to get a feedback from those among you who have used them.

Regards,

Cris

That's good to know, and as far as the home  button is concerned, is it just 
like tapping anywhere else on the screen? While we can't afford the x now, 
we'd like to see how it is the next time we go to the store.

Hi,
I have been working on my family tree for over 20 years, but now want
to get the data onto my IPhone 8.  I don't currently have an ancestry
subscription but I have all the data in a gedcom file.

Is there an accessible family tree / genealogy app available and does
it come with gedcom import capabilities?

Thanks,

Re: audio CSUN interviews, where can I find them?

2018-03-22 Thread Wayne Merritt

In past years, as others have said, Blind Bargains has posted quite
afew interviews from CSUN up to 2 or 3 weeks after the conference
itself. If you want other news from the conference more as it happens,
you could always friend/follow people on social media, or search for
the hash tag for this year's conference on social media, which I
believe is #CSUN18.

Re: audio CSUN interviews, where can I find them?

Sandy,
I guess there was only one so far from Blind Bargains. I know in past years,
sometimes the bulk of their interviews came out after CSUN.
But the app does have an audio tab at the bottom which will bring up all of
their audio podcasts/interviews.
I've seldom run across others doing such in depth interviews at CSUN.
So, I guess we may just have to wait.
I'm looking forward to them as well since I chose not to go in person both
because of the expense, and I hate crowds.
Later,
Richard

RE: Using Smart Glasses with apps on the phone?

Hi Sandy,
No, apple hasn't done anything on this market yet. It is a new market and it is 
not profitable yet. However there are ways to use your phone as a smart glass. 
It is what I did and what I do when I want to use a better camera and the 
compass.
Google has 2 great ideas about this. There is the google cardboard. It is a 
simple peace of cardboard that you are going to use on your eyes. You pay for 
it, it is around $15 on amazon, and they come already folded and ready to use. 
Also if  you want you can pay for the head straps that are going to hold the 
google cardboard on your head because you will need to put your iPhone inside 
the google cardboard. This choice has pros and cons.
Pros: it is the cheapest choice, and for learning is great due to the low cost.
Cons:
They are a little bit uncomfortable, and they are not very durable.
Now, here is the best choice that I have found, and they are what I use when I 
need to do activities with a lot of movement. The google daydream. The cost is 
100 dollars. Don't buy the google daydream first edition. Google released a 
newer version on October 2017, and it is the best. In the google daydream 
second edition or google daydream view you will put your iPhone, and you are 
able to do what you want. This device is made with fiber so it is more 
comfortable, also it comes with 3 straps so it will not fall.
What are the pros and cons?
Pros: it is cheaper than any other smart glass, and you are able to put an 
iPhone also.
It is made in fiber so it is more comfortable.
Cons:
This is a virtual reality headset, so the camera will be cover. However what I 
did and what many other blind people have done is ask someone to help you doing 
a hole on the google daydream on the area where the iPhone camera lens will be.
I use the google daydream when I am on activities with a lot of movement. The 
vision 800 glasses are fashion but they are also fragile, so I don't use them 
when I need to run or move a lot.

Re: Bone conduction headsets, Are they worth buying?

2018-03-22 Thread Kelby Carlson

There are much, much cheaper bluetooth headphones out there, though 
usually earbud models. From what I have heard of the audio quality, I 
see no good reason to by these. If you want to use something like 
Soundscape (an ostensibly "free" app that will actually cost as much as 
you are willing to pay for headphones) you will need them for the 3D 
audio. I have heard decent things about Aftershokz, but I obtained a 
pair of Sennheiser headphones for half the price (though admittedly not 
bluetooth) so I consider them very much not worth it at this point.

Good Thursday Morning Cris et al;

Please pardon me for my reply coming somewhat late on this thread.  I 
haven’t read any of the numerous previous responses so if the gist of 
this message is repetitive please pardon me.


I do have a serious hearing issue in my right ear; when I was 16 years 
old I had to have the right basically “gutted” because of a chronic 
ear infection.  The doctor removed those three little bones, the ear 
drum and a bit of other tissue that was infected.  As a result the 
hearing in that ear is very compromised, but it did not affect the 
nerves making bone conduction very effective in giving me very close 
to normal hearing with bone conduction devices.


I do have several such devices including a Bluetooth bone conduction 
headset with a microphone and another bone conduction headset 
deploying a 3/8 MM jack connection.



Both of them afford me excellent stereophonic hearing; in fact the 
first time I used the Bluetooth headset I was amazed to be able to 
hear music in full stereo so well. I will caution you though, if you 
opt for the Bluetooth type of headset the microphone has been fairly 
distorted so using it with my iPhone for telephone calls is somewhat 
“iffy.”  Now, of course, the Bluetooth headphones are about 3 years 
old so possibly this issue has been corrected and perhaps another 
brand would have been better to begin with.


However, the hardwired headset is excellent (in my opinion) for 
listening and conversing.  And it is very useful to be able to walk 
around with the iPhone streamed through the “out of ear” headsets so a 
blind person (as I am) can continue to use hearing for awareness of 
environment.

am using my computer, my iPad, my iPhone, and even my android tablet, 
I thought protecting my ear drums against potential damage is a good 
idea. I am also thinking that keeping my ear open to know my 
surrounding while walking in the streets and using navigation, a bone 
conducting headset is theoretically the most appropriate.
I am just not sure if it is worth to throw away over 100 bucks to 
try.  For this I hope to get a feedback from those among you who have 
used them.

Regards,
Cris

Re: audio CSUN interviews, where can I find them?

I've only ever found them on Blind Bargains.
I know they did two yesterday that were listed in their daily email.
Have you gotten their app?
I believe it has a section for all their audio programs.

Re: Maps and directions

Tom,
I just figured out how to get directions from Apple Maps without starting the 
route.
When you look up a destination, you get a distance with a street name, then a 
go button.
Instead of double tapping on the go button, double tap on the distance.
Then you get each step listed with a done button in the upper right.

YOU can also first pick Drive, Walk, or Ride before doing that.
They used to have a button I thought for listing directions, but I usually use 
Google Maps until recently, I more often go back to Apple Maps.
HTH,
Richard

Re: Bone conduction headsets, Are they worth buying?

2018-03-22 Thread Bill Gallik

Good Thursday Morning Cris et al;

Please pardon me for my reply coming somewhat late on this thread.  I haven’t 
read any of the numerous previous responses so if the gist of this message is 
repetitive please pardon me.

I do have a serious hearing issue in my right ear; when I was 16 years old I 
had to have the right basically “gutted” because of a chronic ear infection.  
The doctor removed those three little bones, the ear drum and a bit of other 
tissue that was infected.  As a result the hearing in that ear is very 
compromised, but it did not affect the nerves making bone conduction very 
effective in giving me very close to normal hearing with bone conduction 
devices.

I do have several such devices including a Bluetooth bone conduction headset 
with a microphone and another bone conduction headset deploying a 3/8 MM jack 
connection.


Both of them afford me excellent stereophonic hearing; in fact the first time I 
used the Bluetooth headset I was amazed to be able to hear music in full stereo 
so well. I will caution you though, if you opt for the Bluetooth type of 
headset the microphone has been fairly distorted so using it with my iPhone for 
telephone calls is somewhat “iffy.”  Now, of course, the Bluetooth headphones 
are about 3 years old so possibly this issue has been corrected and perhaps 
another brand would have been better to begin with.

However, the hardwired headset is excellent (in my opinion) for listening and 
conversing.  And it is very useful to be able to walk around with the iPhone 
streamed through the “out of ear” headsets so a blind person (as I am) can 
continue to use hearing for awareness of environment.

HTH

RE: Can’t lock the screen when using the Bard app

Subject: Can’t lock the screen when using the Bard app

I had not used the Bard app in quite some time. Then yesterday, I got a book 
that I have been wanting to read but haven’t bought the Audible version. It’s 
now on bard, so I started reading it and discovered that the screen cannot be 
locked while book is playing. I thought that you could lock the screen. Maybe 
my memory is wrong, or maybe that’s changed somewhere along the way. It’s 
really unfortunate, as it is a huge battery drain and really, why should you 
have to have the screen open if you’re listening to audio? It seems a strange 
oversight.

telling us the iphone x isn't as accessible as the past versions of the 
iphone. thank you.
