Much as I agree with keeping your apple products secure when you have only 
one product and a verification code comes along it is not that easy to get 
it and put it where it needs to go (that is unless you guys no something I 
don't) which is probably the case.  I have been trying to put a new card 
numbewr in my phone but it doesn't want to know it keeps

Hello Dionesque,

You ask an excellent question.  I have given it a lot of thought and, by my 
way of thinking, two-step verification is a very good thing, by and large.


However, I generally do not recommend it for older people, say those over 
75, who only have 1 Apple device.  To my way of thinking, the two-step 
system works best when one can have a security code sent to a second trusted 
device.


Of course, one can use two-step verification with only 1 Apple device; 
however, this requires a third-step, said step opting to have the security 
code sent via SMS to a trusted phone number.  This process, for many casual 
users, at any age, can be a bit daunting, to say the least.


In the past 12 months, I have received over 10 requests, from various 
acquaintances, wanting me to disable two-step verification.  All of these 
acquaintances own only 1 Apple product.


As for me?  I use the two-step verification system, along with Touch ID on 
all of my primary devices that contain any personal info and I suggest 
others do the same.

True caller app.

[Malcolm Parfitt]

Hello,

Some time ago I installed an app called True Caller.  Since then I have a 
problem in sending messages.

Prior to installing this app I had a number of blocked contacts on my phone.

Now let’s say I am going to send a message to my brother Stephen.  In the To: 
field of the messaging app I type the letter S I now get a long list of numbers 
prefixed with the word spam.  I assume these are my blocked entries.  I have 
removed the True Caller app but the list of spam entries remain.

How can I remove these suggestions from appearing in the message composition 
window?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

Malcolm.

Re: Maps usage guidance

[Ian Harrison]

Dear Sieghard,
I don’t normally clog up these lists with replies of thanks. However, your very 
considerate response demands comment. It is such a well considered reply that I 
am going to keep it for reference when I meet the newly blind or others that 
are struggling.

I consider myselfa competent cane user and I am confident in familiar 
locations. I am making it a project to widen my sphere of independence as well 
as actually be of help when with sighted friends or family. I am technically 
competent with IOS but some of the settings and descriptions in apple and 
google maps put me off trying them out. I can afford to buy one of the more 
expensive apps, especially if they are easier to use with very little sight. 
This is one of the reasons I asked about podcasts comparing the various 
offerings and how to use them effectively. I am also in the UK , so worry that 
the experience may not be as good over here, especially when linking into 
public transport systems.

To answer the other contributor, would something like nearby explorer or seeing 
eye be a simpler and more efficient system over a combination of free maps and 
blind square talking to me at the same time?

Sorry to go on in such detail, but these lists often see people asking the same 
questions; so I know it is a hot topic.

All the very best
Ian

Re: True caller app.

[Mama Peach]

This is the main reason I did not like this particular app. If you look in 
your list of contacts, you have a folder called Spam that is slammed full of 
numbers. I didn't think you could delete this folder, but once you open this 
folder, double tap on edit, go all the way down as far as you can and double 
tap on delete contact. This will defeat the whole purpose of the True Caller 
app as it uses these numbers to block unwanted callers, but this became 
really annoying to me. I decided to go with the Hiya app instead of True 
Caller, it does not add a Spam folder in your contact list. If you just 
decide to delete the app itself, I am not sure if you will have to delete 
this spam folder separately or not. I just did not care for the True Caller 
app.

Differences in reminders App and the calendar

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I have always wondered, what's the differences between the reminders App 
and the calendar?

What are reasons for using reminders, instead of the calendar?

Also, can you set up a reminder in the calendar to remind you a couple 
of days ahead of an appointment?


Thank you,


Terri

Re: Adding an event in calender

[Scott Berry]

Here are the steps to add a calendar event to the calendar.

1.  In the top right corner if your orientation is set to portrait you will 
find the Add button.

2.  Once in the calendar I would think that most things would be self 
explanatory.  The only item that may throw you off would be the text box and 
that is the title of the appointment or event.  Once finished again at the top 
right of the screen would be another Add button and that’s what you press to 
actually add the event to the calendar.

3.  To look at that event you double tap on your day and you’ll have to go down 
oh maybe half way down the screen and you will find your event.  If you have 
notes or links you would then click on the event and read those.

Hope this helps.

Subject: True caller app.

Hello,

Some time ago I installed an app called True Caller.  Since then I have a 
problem in sending messages.

Prior to installing this app I had a number of blocked contacts on my phone.

Now let’s say I am going to send a message to my brother Stephen.  In the To: 
field of the messaging app I type the letter S I now get a long list of numbers 
prefixed with the word spam.  I assume these are my blocked entries.  I have 
removed the True Caller app but the list of spam entries remain.

How can I remove these suggestions from appearing in the message composition 
window?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

Malcolm.

Re: Adding an event in calender

[Ann Byrne]

Siri adds an event without a problem.

1. Tell Siri Add an appointment titled "doctor" on April 10 at 3 pm.
2. Siri repeats what you said, and asks if you want her/him to 
schedule the appointment.
3.  If yes, say Yes.  If not, say "change", and make the change.  You 
can change time, change title, change the date.


If you want to check your appointments, ask Siri for your 
appointments for a particular day, or week, or month, and he/she will 
give them to you three at a time.  Sometimes Siri doesn't understand 
when I ask for an appointment by what I believe to be the 
title--"doctor"--but if I ask for appointments for a time period I 
can always find what I am looking for.

RE: Differences in reminders App and the calendar

If I want a reminder a day before an appointment, this is what I do:  I say, 
"Set a reminder for April 10"  Siri will ask, "what  do you wwant to be 
reminded about?".  Then I say, "I have a doctor appointment tomorrow at 11:00 
A.M.
That's how I do it.

Hello everyone,


I have always wondered, what's the differences between the reminders App and 
the calendar?

What are reasons for using reminders, instead of the calendar?

Also, can you set up a reminder in the calendar to remind you a couple of days 
ahead of an appointment?


Thank you,

2IDevices and an ICloud copy for each?

[Gerardo Corripio]

I'm planning to use an old iPhone 3GS as sort of an IPod to put at least 
Spotify, probably Netflix, probably Bard Mobile, and maybe Voice Dream 
Reader, to be able to use it on my stereo that has a 30-pin IPod dock. I 
now have a main 5S iPhone, thus what i'd like to know if would I in 
effect, have two ICloud copies on my 5GB ICloud space? one for my 5S and 
another one for my 3GS? And yes the 3GS has a phone chip that no longer 
has a working number, but neverthtless I imagine I'd be able to use it 
as an IPod?

Re: Two-Step Verification & iOS 11.3

[deidre muccio]

I like you Jewel, don't do any of the added security stuff which requires extra 
steps in both setting up as well as in daily use of the phone. I'm not even 
over 65 yet but I have nothing I keep on my phone that I can't afford to lose. 
I get no adson Facebook I get no junk mail or ads.i Try and tweak settings as 
best as possible to avoid all the added gathering of information which will go 
on with or without us either way. There are no photos attached to any of my 
contacts. I don't use the iCloud Drive.
I guess I'm  a Neanderthal. I  love my phone and use it nonstop throughout the 
day. I skype use the calendar, check the clock read articles online, research 
things through Safari though I find that very unsatisfactory, I,listen to 
podcasts I listen to the radio I read a lot. I use the phone I text message I 
checked mail.

Hello,


I have tried what you suggest and have deleted all the spam numbers.

However if I try and compose a message choosing to use the letter S to get to 
contacts starting with that letter I still have some 800 entries labelled spam.

This is rather tedious as you can well imagine.

Any further suggestions welcome.

All the security features are fantastic. I also don't bother with a passcode 
any longer either Jewel. But Seagirt you run a business and as you say you're 
out a lot. And if I had the kind of stuff most people have on their phones 
credit cards and banking info and who knows what else I sure as hell would be 
using their security features as well.

Q:  anybody tried the following?  been for a look, seems plausable, even worth 
a try.
In essence,  free cloud space to store music in current form,  then app to 
access it for use on idevice, without shovelling it all 
onto your device.  Can store more than even the higher spec phones will hold, 
but certainly an option to evade going through iTunes 
itself. All else we'd need to know is whether the content would show up as part 
of your music library, and become  accessible to any 
Echo's or related.

Thanks, BobH.

RE: Fleksy is coming back

[Alan Lemly]

Chris,

Thanks so much for posting this. This is exciting and I urge anyone who wants 
to type using an on screen keyboard instead of relying on dictation or a USB 
keyboard, to sign up as a beta tester of FlickType and start using it. Go to 
www.flicktype.com and click on the link there to send an email to sign up as a 
beta tester. This is pretty much the same as the original Fleksy app which was 
later renamed Fleksy VO.

For those that use to use the Fleksy keyboard, I wanted to let everybody know 
that the developers have just designed a brand new app called FlickType.  It is 
currently in beta, so it is not yet in the app store, but will hopefully be 
released anytime.
Jeff Thompson from Blind Abilities did an interview of the developers that you

I get no adson Facebook I get no junk mail or ads.i Try and tweak settings as

on with or without us either way. There are no photos attached to any of my 
contacts. I don't use the iCloud Drive.
I guess I'm  a Neanderthal. I  love my phone and use it nonstop throughout the

  Jewel,

   

  I have two-factor authentication enabled and that does not require me to type 
in any email address or long passwords and my trusted devices which I use all 
the time behave just as always. However, if there is an attempt to access my 
account from a new device then even if somebody had my password they could not 
gain access because they would also need to have my iPhone which would have to 
be unlocked for them to see the access code.

  My iPhone is secured with Touch Id and of course there is a 6-digit passcode 
for when I have to reboot my phone or for when for whatever reason the 
fingerprint doesn’t work which is rare. I am out and about too much for my 
phone to not be secured and if I do want somebody else to do something on my 
phone I simply unlock it and then hand it to them.

  For me not locking my phone would be not very different from leaving my house 
unlocked when I’m not at home. Given the amount of hacking and not very nice 
people gaining access to all sorts of accounts means security is important and 
while two-factor authentication is not perfect it is currently one of the more 
secure methods of protecting your accounts of course alongside a strong 
password.

   

  Regards,

  Sieghard

Re: Differences in reminders App and the calendar

[Chris Chaffin]

OK, I will try to give you some answers.

The biggest difference in the Calendar app and the Reminders app is that once 
the time of an event in the Calendar goes by, you will not see it again.  But 
in the reminders app, each reminder has a checkbox, and it will remain in your 
reminder list until you check the check box.
It is really up to you how you choose to use the calendar or reminder apps.  
But personally, I use the calendar app for things like doctor appointments, 
birthdays, and other events like that.  I use the reminder app for task that I 
need to get done and want to be reminded of, like taking meds, paying bills, 
and even simple little household chores.
The good thing about reminders is that they have that checkbox, so if you get a 
notification about a reminder that it is time to take care of, but you are busy 
doing something else at the time, and once your done you forget about that 
reminder, no worries, it is still in your list of reminders so when you check, 
you will see it there and you can take care of it then.

One other thing about reminders is that you do not have to assign a date and 
time to the reminder.  This is good for making list like for shopping or 
packing when taking a trip.

Now, you asked about getting a reminder prior to a calender event to let you 
know that it is coming up.  Yes, you can do this, and they are called Alerts.
Currently you can have up to 2 alerts for each calendar event.  They can be 5, 
15, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, 2 days, or 1 week before the event.

Both, the Calendar and Reminder app can be very helpful tools in keeping track 
of every day task and appointments that you might have.  It is really up to you 
how you use them.

Chris

Re: Fleksy is coming back

I will just add that when the FlickType app is first released, it will be a 
stand alone app, but the developers have said that with time, it will become a 
ios keyboard that can be used anywhere.
They also mentioned that they plan on the app always being free.

I am really excited and encouraged by the interviews that I have heard.

Direct TV app and accessibility

[Gordon]

Not sure if this has been covered out here yet, so I thought I'd ask. My 
Uverse promotion is about to end making my bill go up from $145 to $200. 
So I'm looking into a internet and Direct TV bundle to get a new two 
year promotion. Does anyone know how accessible the Direct TV app is for 
managing the dvr? I don't know of any talking boxes if they have them, 
so I had just planned to use the app like I currently do with Uverse. 
The Uverse app works really well for managing and setting recordings.

Re: Direct TV app and accessibility

[Peter Logan]

The app is accessible ...  if you are getting the latest DT receiver, it has 
text to speech and general stuff is totally accessible ... just some of the 
setup and advanced features aren’t ...  you can manage recordings and such ... 
view the guide...etc  One thing is that only the main receiver has speech, 
so if you are setting things up in second or third rooms, they won’t have 
speech

Are they knowledgeable about these talking receivers or do I need to ask

Re: Differences in reminders App and the calendar

[Wayne Merritt]

If you use Fantastical II, then you can have both reminders and
calendar appointments in the same place. Also, Fantastical lets you
set more than 2 alerts before a calendar event. At times, I have set 3
alerts for a doctor appointment, 1 a week before, and the other two
leading up to the appointment time. I typically use the calendar for
appointments and to remind myself of automatic monthly payments, and
the Reminders I use for very important things  I need to do right
away.

RE: Maps usage guidance

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hello Ian,

I still think Seeing Eye or Nearby Explorer are a better solution than Apple or 
Google Maps alongside Blindsquare, but that is just my opinion. I never was as 
impressed with Blindsquare as some others were. Unfortunately I can't comment 
on how well Seeing Eye or Nearby Explorer work in England and if there is any 
integration with public transit. Hopefully you can find some users in your 
country who can answer those questions.

Regards,
Sieghard

Dear Sieghard,
I don’t normally clog up these lists with replies of thanks. However, your very 
considerate response demands comment. It is such a well considered reply that I 
am going to keep it for reference when I meet the newly blind or others that 
are struggling.

I consider myselfa competent cane user and I am confident in familiar 
locations. I am making it a project to widen my sphere of independence as well 
as actually be of help when with sighted friends or family. I am technically 
competent with IOS but some of the settings and descriptions in apple and 
google maps put me off trying them out. I can afford to buy one of the more 
expensive apps, especially if they are easier to use with very little sight. 
This is one of the reasons I asked about podcasts comparing the various 
offerings and how to use them effectively. I am also in the UK , so worry that 
the experience may not be as good over here, especially when linking into 
public transport systems.

To answer the other contributor, would something like nearby explorer or seeing 
eye be a simpler and more efficient system over a combination of free maps and 
blind square talking to me at the same time?

Sorry to go on in such detail, but these lists often see people asking the same 
questions; so I know it is a hot topic.

All the very best
Ian

RE: Changing Apple Id

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I assume you mean you want to use a different email to be your Apple Id? If so 
then this is easily done:
1. Go to https://AppleId.apple.com
2. Login with your current Apple Id email and password and, if you have 
two-factor authentication enabled, allow the sign-in on your device and enter 
the security code
3. Use heading quick nav keys to go to the beginning of the information, then 
use button quick nav key to find the first Edit button and activate it with the 
spacebar.
3. Now find the “Change my Apple Id” button, again you can use “b”, the button 
quick nav key, activate it and enter your new email
4. Look for the “Done” button

Can someone please send me the information on how to do this? Thank you.

RE: iOS podcast app

[Sieghard Weitzel]

There was a short Podcast about this on Applevis I think, but while I tried 
hard to use the Podcast app I have given up on it for now and I am using 
Overcast. Apple really needs to fix this first and make it more intuitive to 
use and make it less cluttered, especially in iOS 11 it got even worse than 
before.

Re: Direct TV app and accessibility

[Amy Johnson]

I use the directtvnow app on my apple tv and it is accessable. Alittle
querky but does work with voiceover.  Still learning it myself but not
too complicated.  The worst trouble I have is some live shows not
loading and it will say retry but will give me an error 303.  Not sure
what that means.  You get a 7 day trial so try it out for yourself.

RE: iBroadcast?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If you use a cloud service like Dropbox or OneDrive you can certainly store 
your music there, but this will not be available to the Music app on your 
iPhone. You would have to use one of many free or paid apps most of which can 
access music stored in all the major cloud services.
Also, the Amazon Echo can only play music from services such as Amazon Music, 
Spotify, Deezer etc., I don't think it can access your own music stored in the 
cloud or locally on a computer or network attached drive. Sonos, however, can 
do this.
Everybody from Apple to Amazon and Google want to promote the use of 
subscription based music services and that is in  my opinion certaily the way 
of the future. I am 51 and of course used to own a turn table and later CD 
player back in the 80's and of course frequent trips to the record store back 
then were part of my lifestyle. Unlike others who bought thousands of albums I 
only owned about 280 or 300, my LP collection which wasn't that large I sold a 
long time ago and my 280 or so CD's have all been ripped in FLAC lossless 
format onto a network attached storage drive and the actual CD's have been 
packed up in a box for years since I haven't owned a CD player for at least 6 
or 7 years or so, basically ever since I bought Sonos equipment.

Sieghard

Q:  anybody tried the following?  been for a look, seems plausable, even worth 
a try.
In essence,  free cloud space to store music in current form,  then app to 
access it for use on idevice, without shovelling it all onto your device.  Can 
store more than even the higher spec phones will hold, but certainly an option 
to evade going through iTunes itself. All else we'd need to know is whether the 
content would show up as part of your music library, and become  accessible to 
any Echo's or related.

Re: Changing Apple Id

[Maria Reyes]

There is a way if you want to do it on your iOS device. Go to 
settings, then tap on your name. it should take you to your iCloud settings. 
Scroll down to name, phone number, emails. Double tap. Flick until you hear the 
edit button, then select it. You want to scroll past all of your emails and 
phone numbers. There should be an add button. It will bring up an alert asking 
if you want to add an email address or a phone number, hit email. Type in the 
email address you want to add, and hit next. Once that’s done, you might have 
to hit the edit button again. After that, find your old Apple ID email, swipe 
down until you hear delete. Once you double tap, it will bring a popup that 
asks you to type in a new email address that you’ve just added. Type in the 
verification code that you were sent.

Re: Two-Step Verification & iOS 11.3

[Judy Pryor]

Hi Mike, I am still running 10.3.3 on an SE.  I was wondering how you are 
getting on with your update, and are you glad you have done it.  Did you back 
up via iTunes or iCloud.  I have been holding back updating as 10.3.3 works 
really well for me.   I do not have 2 factor  authentication either.

All the best

Judy

Re: True caller app.

[Mama Peach]

I just deleted the whole spam folder as there were hundreds of numbers in that 
folder, I didn’t want to delete each one individually. That would have took 
forever.

Hi,
Hnmm, I had a similar issue. To get rid of the spam contacts, select a contact, 
then click on edit. Click the number type e g. 'mobile'. You will be presented 
with options, 
Scroll down, the spam contacts are below. You want to delete them.

Subject: True caller app. 

Hello,

Some time ago I installed an app called True Caller.  Since then I have a 
problem in sending messages.

Prior to installing this app I had a number of blocked contacts on my phone.

Now let’s say I am going to send a message to my brother Stephen.  In the To: 
field of the messaging app I type the letter S I now get a long list of numbers 
prefixed with the word spam.  I assume these are my blocked entries.  I have 
removed the True Caller app but the list of spam entries remain.

How can I remove these suggestions from appearing in the message composition 
window?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

Malcolm.

Chris,

Thanks so much for posting this. This is exciting and I urge anyone 
who wants to type using an on screen keyboard instead of relying on 
dictation or a USB keyboard, to sign up as a beta tester of 
FlickType and start using it. Go to www.flicktype.com 
 and click on the link there to send an 
email to sign up as a beta tester. This is pretty much the same as 
the original Fleksy app which was later renamed Fleksy VO.

Subject: Fleksy is coming back


For those that use to use the Fleksy keyboard, I wanted to let 
everybody know that the developers have just designed a brand new 
app called FlickType.  It is currently in beta, so it is not yet in 
the app store, but will hopefully be released anytime.
Jeff Thompson from Blind Abilities did an interview of the 
developers that you can find at the below link:

No. This was all over the news last week. I changed my password over the 
weekend. I think it took a couple of days for the email notice to drop in my 
inbox after first hearing about it online. I went to the website directly to 
change and update it with 1Password.

Re: iOS podcast app

[Jerry Mader]

Hi folks. I just want to let you all know about my podcast. I have a new 
podcast out and you can check it out by typing in to your podcast app the Mader 
cast. I will warn you it is very much on censored but it is very awesome 
podcast and we try to keep certain words censored like Rachel words that 
shouldn't be used. But there are some podcast where once in a while they might 
come out as a joke or something. But if it does happen I'm quick to fix it. I'm 
a very conservative crazy person but I'm also aTechnology geek and if I find 
anything interesting about the iPhone it's going on the podcast. If I find 
anything interesting about anything accessible it's going to go on the podcast. 
There is a special version of the podcast and that was that was in what you 
should subscribe to you. We have something for everybody. Come and check out 
the new podcast network. The Mader cast is free. But we tell the truth about 
news happening all over including in my town I was tagging on Michigan. While 
also being as technical as we can about things we also like to have some fun 
here in there too and laugh and joke around and be real. If you have the Anchor 
app you are welcome to do callings as well and will put you on the podcast just 
being who you are. You don't have to do anything special just be who you are. 
We love friends day Friday and we are very glad that people want to join us so 
if you do want to join us doing. Go to Anchor and search for the Mader cast. We 
appreciate all of you. Take care

Jerry Mader. Follow my podcast by searching for the Mader cast on your App of 
choice.

Re: iOS podcast app

[Harry Bell]

Thanks, Penny! I hadn’t persisted with my tapping! When I open tge Podcasts 
app, I get a list of new episodes under a heading saying Listen Now. If I 
double tap on any episode, the iOS 11.3 behaviour is that the list remains in 
view and the episode starts playing. If you double tap again on the episode in 
the list which is playing, a new screen opens up which, as you say, has the 
More button at the bottom right. It is frustrating that, in order to delete an 
episode, we must first cause it to start playing...
Thanks
Harry

Number of notifications spoken by voiceOver on the lock screen

[Jan]

Hi all

Let me try and explain the strange subject line:

My wife uses the iphone sE with ios 11.3.  She belongs to quite a few
whatsapp groups, amongst others, so many notifications are sent to her
phone.  The problem is that voiceover only goes as far as about reporting 10
notifications at the most, and all subsequent notifications coming in after
that, will be reported as if there are still only 10 notifications.  She
hears this when she wakes the phone up by pressing the home button, but
without actually unlocking the phone.  Is this normal behaviour as in
voiceover only counting up to 10 notifications when the screen is locked, or
is this a bug of some sort?  I know that some bugs were squashed with ios
11.3 regarding notifications.  She can access them and read them in
different manners using the roter on the lock screen but the number reported
by voiceover seems to have some form of limit.  Do we miss something here,
or is there some limit with notifications counted by voiceover on the lock
screen?

Any light on this matter will be appreciated.

Fleksy VO Coming Back as FlickType

[Alan Lemly]

Hello,

 

I'm posting this to both viphone and iDevices.

 

Those of you who ever experienced the original Fleksy app later renamed
Fleksy VO will be excited to learn that the app is coming back renamed
FlickType. Those who don't know what I'm talking about should sign up as
beta testers of FlickType and give it a go and submit your feedback. You can
visit its website at www.flicktype.com where there is a link to submit an
email to sign up as a beta tester.

 

The original Fleksy which was released about 2012 came out when Apple did
not allow third party keyboards. It was a separate app that presented a
keyboard at about a third of the bottom of your iPhone screen in portrait
mode. The keys were oversized in a high contrast presentation for those with
any vision and there was no spacebar. Any content produced with Fleksy had
to be copied and pasted into whatever app you wanted to send the text in
such as your Mail or Messages app. FlickType continues in the same vein
since it uses the original Fleksy source code which went into the public
domain after Pinterest acquired the Fleksy Keyboard and the original Fleksy
VO was no longer supported.

 

What is great about FlickType is its predictive engine. You simply start
typing where you think the keys you want are located and do a single finger
swipe right when you're done. FlickType will announce the word it thinks you
wanted and more times than not will get it right. If it's not right, simply
do a single finger swipe down to cycle through its other choices. These
choices are all presented audibly and when you hear the correct one, you
just start typing the next word. You don't need to insert any spaces since
FlickType does that automatically. When you type the last word in the
sentence and FlickType has announced it, simply single finger swipe once
again and FlickType will place a period at the sentence end. You simply
start typing the next word and FlickType will automatically capitalize it.
Only letter keys are presented on the main FlickType keyboard which makes it
very easy to rapidly type your text with only a single finger. To access
other keys such as numbers or symbols, you do a 2 finger swipe right or left
to cycle through these. To capitalize a letter such as a proper name, single
finger swipe down after you've entered the letter and it will be
capitalized. Any words or names you enter manually can be added to your
custom dictionary by doing a single finger swipe up after FlickType
announces the word. Developing a complete dictionary is highly recommended
since that is what feeds FlickType's predictive engine. When your typing is
done, do a 2 finger swipe up to access the FlickType menu where your text is
reviewed for you and you can access the menu choices to copy it for pasting
in the app where you want it to go. It is very easy to learn and I strongly
recommend those unfamiliar with it to try it since sometimes there is just
no substitute for typing even though dictation is very handy.

 

The FlickType developer who is the original Fleksy developer as I understand
it has said they hope to have a FlickType iOS keyboard at some point.
Personally, I'm not too fussed about whether they ever do this since my
experience with Fleksy was that it became much less usable and efficient in
my opinion once it became an iOS keyboard. I find that even with the
FlickType separate app and having to copy and paste its output as was the
case with Fleksy VO that I can still output text much more quickly than with
either the standard iOS keyboard or with the Fleksy keyboard.

 

Here is a link to the AppleVis site announcing Fleksy becoming the latest
inductee into the AppleVis App Hall of Fame for those wanting to review a
little history:

 

https://www.applevis.com/blog/ios-apps-advocacy-applevis/fleksy-becomes-late
st-inductee-applevis-ios-app-hall-fame

 

I wish David Woodbridge's excellent podcast on the original Fleksy app was
still available on AppleVis but apparently it no longer is due to its age.

 

For those interested in signing up as beta testers of FlickType, go to the
website previously mentioned. You'll have to install TestFlight on your
device which is required to beta test iOS apps but I think you'll find the
effort well worth it. You'll be given access to the FlickType app where you
can start learning and using it.

RE: Important Message Regarding MyFitnessPal Account Security

Thanks much, this is an app that I installed from the App Store, should I go to 
My Fitness Pal to change the password?

How can I change a password there when I did not create my account there in the 
first place?

 

Thanks!

No. This was all over the news last week. I changed my password over the 
weekend. I think it took a couple of days for the email notice to drop in my 
inbox after first hearing about it online. I went to the website directly to 
change and update it with 1Password.

NOTICE OF DATA BREACH



To the MyFitnessPal Community:

We are writing to notify you about an issue that may involve your MyFitnessPal 
account information. We understand that you value your privacy and we take the 
protection of your information seriously. 

What Happened?

On March 25, 2018, we became aware that during February of this year an 
unauthorized party acquired data associated with MyFitnessPal user accounts. 

What Information Was Involved?

The affected information included usernames, email addresses, and hashed 
passwords - the majority with the hashing function called bcrypt used to secure 
passwords.

What We Are Doing

Once we became aware, we quickly took steps to determine the nature and scope 
of the issue. We are working with leading data security firms to assist in our 
investigation. We have also notified and are coordinating with law enforcement 
authorities. 

We are taking steps to protect our community, including the following:

*   We are notifying MyFitnessPal users to provide information on how they 
can protect their data. 
*   We will be requiring MyFitnessPal users to change their passwords and 
urge users to do so immediately.
*   We continue to monitor for suspicious activity and to coordinate with 
law enforcement authorities.
*   We continue to make enhancements to our systems to detect and prevent 
unauthorized access to user information.

What You Can Do

We take our obligation to safeguard your personal data very seriously and are 
alerting you about this issue so you can take steps to help protect your 
information. We recommend you:

*   Change your password for any other account on which you used the same 
or similar information used for your MyFitnessPal account.
*   Review your accounts for suspicious activity.
*   Be cautious of any unsolicited communications that ask for your 
personal data or refer you to a web page asking for personal data.
*   Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious 
emails.

For More Information

For more information, please go to

RE: iBroadcast?

[Rick Alfaro]

Hi Sieghard. I just read about an Alexa skill that will allow you to use your 
Amazon echo device with one of the WD MyCloud devices. I have a WD MyCloud nas 
so I'm anxious too give this a try and see how it works out. You might want to 
check it out if you have one of the WD devices.

If you use a cloud service like Dropbox or OneDrive you can certainly store 
your music there, but this will not be available to the Music app on your 
iPhone. You would have to use one of many free or paid apps most of which can 
access music stored in all the major cloud services.
Also, the Amazon Echo can only play music from services such as Amazon Music, 
Spotify, Deezer etc., I don't think it can access your own music stored in the 
cloud or locally on a computer or network attached drive. Sonos, however, can 
do this.
Everybody from Apple to Amazon and Google want to promote the use of 
subscription based music services and that is in  my opinion certaily the way 
of the future. I am 51 and of course used to own a turn table and later CD 
player back in the 80's and of course frequent trips to the record store back 
then were part of my lifestyle. Unlike others who bought thousands of albums I 
only owned about 280 or 300, my LP collection which wasn't that large I sold a 
long time ago and my 280 or so CD's have all been ripped in FLAC lossless 
format onto a network attached storage drive and the actual CD's have been 
packed up in a box for years since I haven't owned a CD player for at least 6 
or 7 years or so, basically ever since I bought Sonos equipment.

In essence,  free cloud space to store music in current form,  then app to

Re: cancelling subscriptions

Hello! Go to settings. Double tap on the iTunes and App store button. Double 
tap on your Apple ID. Double tap on subscriptions, and find the one you wish to 
cancel and go from there. I hope this helps.

Re: iBroadcast?

['RobH.' via VIPhone]

Aah, now this is more what I hoped to hear from the start.  Thanks, let us know 
how it works out, could be the key step forward I've 
waited for.

BTW:  Amazon music unlimited in the UK quoted about 40m tracks.  So I asked to 
sample a few of my artists from my obscure CD 
collection, and guess what?...   not one of them. Music from Colombia and 
Paraguay hasn't made it mainstream yet.  So back to my 
quest for private storage of whatever collected these upteen years.

RE: iBroadcast?

Hi Rob. I did download the MyCloud ap for iPhone and found it to be quite 
accessible. The only thing I don't like is that there aren't many options on 
how your files and folders are displayed. I would have liked to se at least 
some sort of setting for how files are sorted.


It might be a while before I actually get around to getting this done for Alexa

If you use a cloud service like Dropbox or OneDrive you can certainly store 
your music there, but this will not be available to the 
Music app on your iPhone. You would have to use one of many free or paid apps 
most of which can access music stored in all the major 
cloud services.
Also, the Amazon Echo can only play music from services such as Amazon Music, 
Spotify, Deezer etc., I don't think it can access your 
own music stored in the cloud or locally on a computer or network attached 
drive. Sonos, however, can do this.
Everybody from Apple to Amazon and Google want to promote the use of 
subscription based music services and that is in  my opinion 
certaily the way of the future. I am 51 and of course used to own a turn table 
and later CD player back in the 80's and of course 
frequent trips to the record store back then were part of my lifestyle. Unlike 
others who bought thousands of albums I only owned 
about 280 or 300, my LP collection which wasn't that large I sold a long time 
ago and my 280 or so CD's have all been ripped in FLAC 
lossless format onto a network attached storage drive and the actual CD's have 
been packed up in a box for years since I haven't 
owned a CD player for at least 6 or 7 years or so, basically ever since I 
bought Sonos equipment.

  Jewel,

   

  I have two-factor authentication enabled and that does not require me to type 
in any email address or long passwords and my trusted devices which I use all 
the time behave just as always. However, if there is an attempt to access my 
account from a new device then even if somebody had my password they could not 
gain access because they would also need to have my iPhone which would have to 
be unlocked for them to see the access code.

  My iPhone is secured with Touch Id and of course there is a 6-digit passcode 
for when I have to reboot my phone or for when for whatever reason the 
fingerprint doesn’t work which is rare. I am out and about too much for my 
phone to not be secured and if I do want somebody else to do something on my 
phone I simply unlock it and then hand it to them.

  For me not locking my phone would be not very different from leaving my house 
unlocked when I’m not at home. Given the amount of hacking and not very nice 
people gaining access to all sorts of accounts means security is important and 
while two-factor authentication is not perfect it is currently one of the more 
secure methods of protecting your accounts of course alongside a strong 
password.

I want someone else to have access to my phone, so, rather than give out all

I know that the first iPhone did not have much accessibility.
It wasn't until the iPhone 3G came out.  I think that was the model.  I 
can't remember what year.  I want to say around 2008 or 2009.  Seri wasn't 
originally part of Apple.  I first used it as an app that you had to

Confusion with text and imaging apps

[Bill Outman]

Hello, list.  

 

I have some questions about some apps I use for reading text and imaging
pictures.  I am wondering which ones to keep and how to gain more confidence
in using them.  This is one issue I have, along with the need to upgrade my
5S which I have had for four years and is physically falling apart, and
which I am having some capacity issues with.  That process will be part of
another upcoming post.  

 

I am listing these apps in order of size which they take up on my phone,
which will need to be upgraded as I already said, but that's another issue.


 

I will start with the K-NFB Reader, which I will keep as I have used it
fairly well, and have the greatest financial investment in.  I am well aware
of the help resources for it.  

 

Be My Eyes is next, which I have created an account for but haven't used.  I
admit part of my problem is the social anxiety of dealing with a stranger,
and as a total its name reminds me that sometimes having a working pair of
eyes handy can be helpful.  I think of myself as a well adjusted blind
person, though I haven't wanted to arrive at that in what some might
consider the conventional manner of certain types of acceptance.  

 

Color Visor is good, and I have used it.  I wonder if it will survive when I
finally do the iOS 11 upgrade.  

 

The next one, Goggles,  is an app I couldn't figure out how to get to work.
I think it's one of these video apps, but I am not sure.  How would it help
if I could get it to work?  

 

Be Specular is another one I picked up but don't fully understand what place
it could have.  I am not sure what I have to do to set up the app and am
unsure how it works exactly.  I seem to recall it has some similarities to
Be My Eyes, but works on a different principle.  

 

iNote is one I use occasionally for money identification, and so plan to
keep it.  

 

iDentifi is the one we heard about some time ago which came out of a
Canadian development project.  I opened it up one time and couldn't figure
out how to get started with it.  What purpose could it serve, and is it any
good?  Do other apps I have serve the purpose better.  

 

Tap Tap See I know is one that identifies objects by searching a data base.
I need help in gaining confidence with it.  

 

Boop is one of two light detectors I have, and I can make it work, but I'm
wondering if I need two such apps.  

 

I know Digit Eyes can help me with product information and works through
accessing a data base.  I have the free version, but could use some help in
learning how to use it.  

 

Light Detector Is the smallest of these apps, and I have had success with
it.  Again, though, do I need two of these? I paid for this one, as opposed
to Boop.  

 

I would appreciate it if someone could help me work through these issues.

That's really interesting, Tom. I didn't know some of this so that's why I
was curious too. Now about ootunes, is there a price for ootunes, and can
you get stations from all over the world?

I know that the first iPhone did not have much accessibility.
It wasn't until the iPhone 3G came out.  I think that was the model.  I
can't remember what year.  I want to say around 2008 or 2009.  Seri wasn't
originally part of Apple.  I first used it as an app that you had to
download.  It was real quirky but interesting.  Then Apple bought up the
company that developed Seri and made it better, much better.

I'm going to get the ootunes app, that sounds great  and also the old time
radio. You've made me curious about the history of where voice over is
concerned with iphones and also siri. How long as it been that the
accessibility with voice over has been in iphones? I was just curious, and
thinking that maybe voice over was in the first iphones. Did the first
iphone have siri in it? Thanks.

Upgrade process from iPhone 5S

[Bill Outman]

Hello, again list.  

 

I am concerned about the process of upgrading my 5S to a better model.  It
is falling apart, as I have lost the physical mute switch and the touch
screen is sitting on the phone and I have to be careful not to lose it.  The
case has been gradually losing pieces.  I have had it for four years, so it
is really overdue for a replacement.  

 

First, I am having trouble with the iOS 11 installation cycle.  It seems to
be failing due to lack of capacity, but I'm not sure if this is really the
issue.  I am concerned about updating apps to accommodate this new version,
and I vaguely recall hearing there is a way to tell which apps might have
trouble working when I go from iOS 10 to 11. 

 

I worry about the transfer of my apps and data to a new phone, fearing I may
lose somethingin the process.   I know I can back up the phone to iCloud,
but am not sure if this is happening automaticallyofr if there is some step
I need to take to do this just before the switch.  

 

When I get the new phone, will I need to reconnect my bluetooth devices, my
keyboard, a tile I have on my key ring, and my headphones?  Will I need to
replace these.  I also have a stand for my K-NFB reader I might need to
replace, though admittedly I haven't used it much.  

 

I am wondering what type of new iPhone I can or should get.  I bought the 5S
through my local A. T. & T. store back in 2014.  It is fully paid off long
since through my cell phone bill with them.  I know I could have taken a
free upgrad from them at some point, but was unsure of what model I would
have gotten, and I was afraid of going through the transfer process then.
Now I have to update with the phone falling apart, and don't know what I can
get and still have the same transfer fears.  

If I can't get it free, I have fears about the cost of the new phone, or how
much I can afford to allow the bill to increase to pay for it that way.  I
am in a jam with my available credit.  

 

One other technical issue is the compatibility of my charger.   Will I have
to replace it?  

 

One more issue is getting a protective case for the new iPhone.  The cost
cost concerns me as this may have to be a separate purchase at another time.


 

I would again appreciate someone helping work through this process.

Raise your phone up slowly from the printed text and it will start

reading you can pull the phone away, and it will continue reading what it

To read bar codes go to product mode, and it will beep faster as it

Could someone please give me some tips on how to possibly use Seeing AI?


I've tried to get it to work a couple of times now, with absolutely no 
luck! I think it's human error. I really don't know for sure though.



I tried to read a can yesterday. It wouldn't do anything. So I
switched channels and tried to read a piece of mail. Again, nothing 
happened.



I am holding the camera above the item, and moving the phone slowly
back and forth.

Is this how I should do it?


Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.


Thank you,

tell me about it now; keep looking for something like 
it.

Thanks, BobH.

Ootunes is still $4. I have a streaming server and it plays on there as
well.

HI Liz, I can do as far as you suggest it is after you have found the

Hello! Go to settings. Double tap on the iTunes and App store button. Double 
tap on your Apple ID. Double tap on subscriptions, and find the one you wish to 
cancel and go from there. I hope this helps.

RE: Upgrade process from iPhone 5S

[M. Taylor]

Hello Bill,

You ask questions that some may be reluctant to answer for the simple fact that 
each person's circumstances are unique.

Be that as it may, I will offer some suggestions in order to assist you.  
Please keep in mind that this is only my opinion.  

As for determining how to tell which apps will not function in iOS 11, I will 
place the steps and a link to the article below my signature.  

1.
To manually backup your device to iCloud, from the Settings menu, select your 
name.

2.
Select iCloud.

3.
Select and explore the Backup area.

Now, as for your other questions:

1.
Since money is of great concern to you, and since I'm almost certain you do not 
want to have to deal with the issue of swapping out any of your audio 
connectors to the Lightening form-factor, I strongly suggest that you purchase 
an iPhone 6 S, model.  The 6 S model continues to offer the 3.5mm jack, 
insuring that any analog audio equipment you have will work as usual.  Also, 
the price of the 6 S is significantly less than the 7, 8, and 10 series 
devices.  

As far as I know, the only place from which you can purchase a new 6 S series 
phone is from Apple, be it online or at an Apple store.  

2.
You ask:
"When I get the new phone, will I need to reconnect my bluetooth devices, my 
keyboard, a tile I have on my key ring, and my headphones?  Will I need to 
replace these.?

Answer:
All things being equal, you will probably need to re-pair your Bluetooth 
devices.  Will you need to replace them?  I should think not.

As for your charger, the answer is, No, you will not have to replace it as all 
Apple phones, currently being sold, as new, use the Lightening port charging 
system.

Bill, I realize that upgrading to a new phone can be very scary and I don't 
blame you for hesitating to do so.  However, in all things, change is 
unavoidable so it's best to do it on your own terms, whenever possible.  

I won't kid you, it is quite possible that some of your favorite apps have not 
been updated to 64-bit and, thus, will not work in iOS 11.  Regardless, given 
that your 5 S is falling apart, I’m certain that you will gain more than you 
lose by upgrading to a new device with a modern operating system.

Okay, that's about it.  

Good luck, Bill, and try to have faith in yourself.  You can do this.

Sincerely,

Mark

which apps won't work on iOS 11

How can I find 32-bit apps on my device?

Discovering any old apps that haven't been updated is very simple.

On your iPhone or iPad go to Settings > General > About, and then look for 
Applications in the list.

which apps won't work on iOS 11

If you don't have any applications that are 32-bit then tapping Applications 
will do nothing. But if you see an arrow on the right side of that section then 
tap on it and you'll be presented with a list of all the 32-bit apps on your 
device.

Subject: Upgrade process from iPhone 5S

Hello, again list.  

I am concerned about the process of upgrading my 5S to a better model.  It is 
falling apart, as I have lost the physical mute switch and the touch screen is 
sitting on the phone and I have to be careful not to lose it.  The case has 
been gradually losing pieces.  I have had it for four years, so it is really 
overdue for a replacement.  

First, I am having trouble with the iOS 11 installation cycle.  It seems to be 
failing due to lack of capacity, but I’m not sure if this is really the issue.  
I am concerned about updating apps to accommodate this new version, and I 
vaguely recall hearing there is a way to tell which apps might have trouble 
working when I go from iOS 10 to 11. 

I worry about the transfer of my apps and data to a new phone, fearing I may 
lose somethingin the process.   I know I can back up the phone to iCloud, but 
am not sure if this is happening automaticallyofr if there is some step I need 
to take to do this just before the switch.  

When I get the new phone, will I need to reconnect my bluetooth devices, my 
keyboard, a tile I have on my key ring, and my headphones?  Will I need to 
replace these.  I also have a stand for my K-NFB reader I might need to 
replace, though admittedly I haven’t used it much.  

I am wondering what type of new iPhone I can or should get.  I bought the 5S 
through my local A. T. & T. store back in 2014.  It is fully paid off long 
since through my cell phone bill with them.  I know I could have taken a free 
upgrad from them at some point, but was unsure of what model I would have 
gotten, and I was afraid of going through the transfer process then.  Now I 
have to update with the phone falling apart, and don’t know what I can get and 
still have the same transfer fears.  
If I can’t get it free, I have fears about the cost of the new phone

VoiceOver first came in the 3GS, about 2010.
Siri is a lot later, around the time of the 5 I think.

I'm going to get the ootunes app, that sounds great  and also the old time
radio. You've made me curious about the history of where voice over is
concerned with iphones and also siri. How long as it been that the
accessibility with voice over has been in iphones? I was just curious, and
thinking that maybe voice over was in the first iphones. Did the first
iphone have siri in it? Thanks.
