emoticon button label since version 11.3 upgrade

[R Van Lant]

My phone upgraded to IOS 11.3 over the weekend.  I noticed today that label for 
the emoticon keyboard is now really strange.  Anyone else seen this?  I wonder 
what changed.  I can't recall, but I think it used to clearly say "emogi 
keyboard" or something like that and now, while I can tell it's saying 
something about emoticons, the way it says it is really strange.

Re: Issues with KNFB Reader

Have you checked the available storage on the 6. It sounds like you have made

I think it may be time to call Apple Accessibility and see if they can screen

RE: Upgrade phone now or wait?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

According to the rumours there will almost certainly be no more 4 inch phone 
like the 5S or SE, the 4.7 inch phones like the iPhone 6S/7/8 will be the new 
small phones so all of you who like the SE you probably need to get used to the 
idea. Of course nothing is toally written in stone, but the SE is a good phone 
so I agree, why not wait the second half of the 12 month upgrade cycle, you'll 
get a much better deal on an iPhone 8 after the new phones come out in 
September.

Well, if the same cycle holds, we're past the half way point of the next batch 
of iPhones dropping in September. If you can hold off on scratching that itch 
after your last payment is made for a few months, you can see what new stuff 
Apple comes out with or try to score a deal on what will at that time be last 
year's model which would be the iPhone 8, 8 Plus or iPhone X.

I would maybe pay off that device and keep it as a second unit just in case you

Yes, if you have an iPhone and an iPad, there is a setting that will allow 
you to receive calls on the iPad if the iPhone is in range.

You can also double tap on a contact phone number on the iPad and make a 
call, again if the iPhone is in range.

But, without an iPhone, you would use FaceTime or Skype.

As for text messages, you can text using your email address to other Apple 
device owners with an iPad, but I do not think you can text to a non-Apple 
device. That one I'm not sure of, so take that with a grain of salt.

Here is the help information, though the "play video" lines should be ignored

Seeing AI

Seeing AI describes the people, text, and objects around you.

Using your phone’s camera, the app says what it "sees". Seeing AI uses multiple 
channels to announce different information, such as reading text or describing 
faces.

On some channels, Seeing AI will automatically read what it sees. Other times 
you may need to take a photo to get a description of the image.

To help you position your phone for the best results, Seeing AI can also 
describe where people or objects are in the camera’s field of vision. This 
feature isn’t available for all channels.

Seeing AI is an ongoing research project. To help us to improve it, please send 
your feedback.

Available Channels
[Carousel showing available channels]
Short Text

Hold the camera over some text to have it automatically read to you. As new 
text comes into view, it will also be read out loud.

While reading out loud, Seeing AI may start again from the beginning if the 
camera captures a clearer image of the text.

[cid:] Play the video 
tutorial

Document

Hold the camera over a printed page to capture it. After the text has been 
recognized, you can use VoiceOver commands to navigate it.

Seeing AI will guide you with camera placement until all edges of a document 
are visible and the photo is taken. Make the necessary adjustments until you 
hear “Hold steady”.

A good technique is to place the camera in the center of the page, and slowly 
move it away, making slight adjustments.

This channel works best when there’s a high contrast between the page and the 
background, like a white document on a dark surface .

Once the text has been recognized, use the play button to have the text read 
aloud, with syncronized word highlighting. Use the plus and minus buttons to 
change the size of the text.

RE: [EXTERNAL] Weather Gods update and Apple Watch.

['Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.' via VIPhone]

Thanks very much for this, Malcolm. Bought it and like it very much. Just what

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Weather Gods update and Apple Watch.

Some time ago there was a post from a user looking for an Apple Watch app that 
gives more detail on the watch complication than is provided by the native 
Apple Weather App.

The latest update of the popular Weather Gods app provides just this 
information.

Developed with Voiceover support here’s what the latest update contains.

Hope this is useful to you.


Hi All,

Just a quick note to say that Weather Gods 1.7 should be hitting the App Store.

The biggest update is for the Apple Watch, where we have greatly increased the 
range of complications for each watch face.

There is also a dedicated voiceover complication for each face that mimics the 
weather wheel, prioritising the weather conditions for each hour.

Other changes to the watch:

- feels like temperature setting is respected throughout, including the 
complications.
- we've worked really hard with our beta testers to improve the reliability of 
the updating of the watch complication - we think we are there now!
- the main watch app has been voiceover 'tuned'

To activate the new complications:

1. Launch the Apple Watch App on the phone
2. Swipe down until you find Weather Gods in the list of installed apps
3. Double tap to access the Weather Gods watch settings
4. From here, you can swipe through and access the complication configuration 
for the different types of watch faces

Any problems then please email me 
feedb...@weathergodsapp.com and I will be 
more than happy to assist.

Main App Changes

1. Pressure trend has been reworked with the trend calculation following 
popular meteorological algorithms. We also indicate if the pressure is rising 
slowly or rapidly and the same for when it is falling.

2. Follow me notifications have been toned down and now only trigger if you 
have moved 10 miles or 15 kilometres from a previous location.

3. Tapping a notification will launch weather gods and automatically load the 
location associated with the notification.

4. The 3d touch on the Weather Gods icon is now working.

Finally, I would like to say a big thank you to our beta testers and 
translators for helping make Weather Gods the app that it is.

Hope you are all having a great Sunday!
Scott

RE: Upgrade phone now or wait?

[joedinero68]

I have heard a long time about a refresh of the SE but nothing definitive. So 
if you take that off the table and are resigned to the fact that you might have 
to carry a phone with a larger form factor I would want to know what kind of 
carrots Verizon dangling before I would advise. Personally I would wait until 
Black Friday as those are the best deals I have ever seen on the latest models 
of iPhones. Last year Sams Club for example had $300 off of a iPhone 8 and $350 
off of a iPhone X. I have never really seen anything better throughout the 
year.n  The other thing to consider is that you are 7 months into the iPhone 8 
year and only have a few months til the next incarnation of the iPhone is 
available. If I am investing in a new phone I would probably always err on the 
side of getting a new one right after the new generation comes out if possible. 
Sometimes that is not realistic if a phone is lost or damaged. But in an ideal 
world that is what I would do.

RE: Upgrade phone now or wait?

[Cristóbal]

Well, if the same cycle holds, we're past the half way point of the next batch 
of iPhones dropping in September. If you can hold off on scratching that itch 
after your last payment is made for a few months, you can see what new stuff 
Apple comes out with or try to score a deal on what will at that time be last 
year's model which would be the iPhone 8, 8 Plus or iPhone X.

I agree on this but just want to add my two cents. I have no mobility problems

phone is the much better choice and I can do everything with it faster, it is 
smaller to carry around and you only need one device. This is, of course just

Yes, if you have an iPhone and an iPad, there is a setting that will allow you 
to receive calls on the iPad if the iPhone is in range. 

You can also double tap on a contact phone number on the iPad and make a call, 
again if the iPhone is in range.

But, without an iPhone, you would use FaceTime or Skype.

As for text messages, you can text using your email address to other Apple 
device owners with an iPad, but I do not think you can text to a non-Apple 
device. That one I'm not sure of, so take that with a grain of salt.

problems, & I'm trying to talk her into getting an iPhone over the iPad, but 
for some reason she wants an iPad.  Maybe now when I read her these messages 
she'll change her mind.  She uses a Revere cell phone that she would for phone 
calls, but like all of you, I feel the iPhone would be her best option!  
Phoning, texting, dictation, she would have it all, but I can't speak for her, 
& I don't know just how limited her hand useage is.  Thanks again for all your 
input.

Correct, you can’t send regular SMS messages with an iPad unless you also have 
an iPhone on the same WiFi network or you are using some sort of app. I believe 
in the US google Voice would allow you to use your iPad much like a phone.

Yes, if you have an iPhone and an iPad, there is a setting that will allow you 
to receive calls on the iPad if the iPhone is in range. 

You can also double tap on a contact phone number on the iPad and make a call, 
again if the iPhone is in range.

But, without an iPhone, you would use FaceTime or Skype.

As for text messages, you can text using your email address to other Apple 
device owners with an iPad, but I do not think you can text to a non-Apple 
device. That one I'm not sure of, so take that with a grain of salt.

I say that because when I get a phone call my iPad will sometimes ring. But 
yes, if you just have an iPad you will have to use Facetime to call.

Hi Maria,

 

Thank you very much for your input.  I'm going to assume that if she can email

Did you read the help file?

On the ShortText, Document, Product channel, Currency, Light, and I think 
Color, you do not need to take a picture, just point the camera.

On the others, once you have flicked up to the channel you want, flick left to 
the take picture button and double tap.

Below I have copied the entire Seeing AI help. To read it section by section, 
in the app, Double Tap on the menu button and select Help.
Or, in each channel, the Quick Help button plays the video by the developer 
explaining that specific channel.
Here is the help information, though the "play video" lines should be ignored 
as they are only active when in the app's help section.

Seeing AI

Seeing AI describes the people, text, and objects around you.

Using your phone’s camera, the app says what it "sees". Seeing AI uses multiple 
channels to announce different information, such as reading text or describing 
faces.

On some channels, Seeing AI will automatically read what it sees. Other times 
you may need to take a photo to get a description of the image.

To help you position your phone for the best results, Seeing AI can also 
describe where people or objects are in the camera’s field of vision. This 
feature isn’t available for all channels.

Seeing AI is an ongoing research project. To help us to improve it, please send 
your feedback.

Available Channels
[Carousel showing available channels]
Short Text

Hold the camera over some text to have it automatically read to you. As new 
text comes into view, it will also be read out loud.

While reading out loud, Seeing AI may start again from the beginning if the 
camera captures a clearer image of the text.

[cid:] Play the video 
tutorial

Document

Hold the camera over a printed page to capture it. After the text has been 
recognized, you can use VoiceOver commands to navigate it.

Seeing AI will guide you with camera placement until all edges of a document 
are visible and the photo is taken. Make the necessary adjustments until you 
hear “Hold steady”.

A good technique is to place the camera in the center of the page, and slowly 
move it away, making slight adjustments.

This channel works best when there’s a high contrast between the page and the 
background, like a white document on a dark surface .

Once the text has been recognized, use the play button to have the text read 
aloud, with syncronized word highlighting. Use the plus and minus buttons to

RE: Setting Up FitBit using VoiceOver

[Lynda Ingraham]

Hi Arnold, 

I have had my FitBit for a while. It can be tricky. I don't find the customer 
service particularly useful. I used TapTap See to take a picture of the code on 
the device screen. With that said, you have to be very fast to switch to the 
app and enter the code. If my memory is correct, the code changes each time you 
have a failed attempt at entering the code in the app. I did have problems with 
filling out the personal information as well. 

I think One of the things I do like about FitBit is the food database. It is 
pretty extensive and accurate. Spark People is another way to track food and 
activity. The app is accessible and has a number of tracking devices that are 
supported. 

The one thing that is extremely annoying with FitBit is if you would like an 
ongoing announcement of your heart rate. Previously, when you opened the app, 
you could touch heart rate and it would be announced. Now, I find myself having 
to reselect my account just to get a current heart rate. When workingout, after 
a short period of time, it stops reading your current heart rate. I'm not sure 
if this is due to something I don't know about the FitBit settings or a bug. 

Although I love knowing how many total miles I have walked, I think if there 
were a way to bring that number into Apple Health, I would totally switch to 
the Series III watch. 

Hope this helps, 

Have a wonderful day, 

Lynda

Re: Setting Up FitBit using VoiceOver

Hi, I hope this will help you.
My husband did have to help me set up my original fit bit flex two, many of the 
areas when trying to use this app are not accessible to us. I myself, will not 
buy another fit bit, I have called him several times and try to explain the 
situation to them, but many of the items have not been fixed and I am not sure 
why.
I will probably not buy another fit bit, but will try and save my money or ask 
for an Apple Watch for my birthday or Christmas.
I don’t know if this helps
I do exercise, but is more of an interested to see how it works and how it 
records my exercise I mow mostly do it for fun, but if you are more serious 
maybe the app on the iPhone for health might also help you. If you take it too 
serious, it might not be really enjoyable.
Hope this helps you.

Re: Setting Up FitBit using VoiceOver

[Christopher Chaltain]

On my Charge HR I needed sighted help to read a code that appeared on 
the display of the Charge HR. I also couldn't set my height and weight 
during the initial set up, although I think I could set this later. 
Other than that everything was accessible. This was almost two years 
ago, so things could have changed in the app and with newer models of 
FitBits.

Chris, this is great news concerning to eventually have the paid version.. For 
scanning it does well. Ever since Richard's message we've been scanning so many 
things here in the house. Some of the things we scanned, was the display screen 
on the xm radio, on the tv the dish display screen, scanned some postal mail, 
scanned the screen from one of our iphone se, scanned the display screen of our

phone and the gusto 3 which is a flip phone, also scanned the microwave screen 
and was able to read some items from it, also reading some food labels on 
frozen dinners and soup can labels. It was interesting with scanning the

Hopefully the location part is better on the paid version.
