RE: Amazon prime and audio description

[Alan Lemly]

I believe there used to be a setting in the Amazon Prime Video app to turn on 
audio description but I've been through every setting and can't find one in the 
latest version of the app. You do need to have audio descriptions turned on 
under Settings, General, Accessibility and it is about fourth from the bottom 
of that screen which it sounds s if you already have this turned on. If you 
want to test audio description in the Prime Video app, the Bosch series has it 
in the first 3 seasons for sure and I'm assuming also in the 4th season just 
released.

If the audio description isn't working for you, I'd suggest contacting Amazon 
under the Contact Us setting in the Prime Video app or by calling Amazon 
Accessibility at 888-283-1678 or emailing them at 
accessibility-feedb...@amazon.com.

Hi Alan,

 

I only found a link to the bluetooth Instant Pot on their website where it 
describes the unit, but if you go to their own online store it is also no 
longer listed.

I just sent an email to them asking about what their rep told me last November 
about a new smart/bluetooth cooker coming out this year. Once I get a reply 
I’ll post it here.

I know Amazon’s often the default, but other retailers sell it too. I got my 
bluetooth model from BestBuy back in the day for example. My wife likes it so 
much, she ended up getting the 8 quart regular instant pot at Kohls during a 
sale. After redeeming coupons, gift cards and God knows what else, she got the 
price down to something like $50.

We still use the bluetooth one for most things since I can use it with the app, 
but when she wants to make a bigger pot of soup or make a big batch of rice or 
for meal prep for the week, she’ll bust out the bigger one which is fine since 
she’s sighted so accessibility isn’t an issue for her.

Hi List,

 

I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the Instant Pot 
and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I read the Instant Pot app 
description and it seems to talk more about recipes as opposed to controlling 
the device with the app. Can anyone who uses an Instant Pot give me some 
direction on what the app allows you to do and whether it's accessible? Is 
there a particular Instant Pot model that I need to get to obtain app control 
over it?

 

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Re: Transitioning to Overcast from Downcast

[Flor Lynch]

Does it work, say, in a crowded exhibit hall, where there's a lot of 
background noise to contend with? (Does it then boost the voices of the 
interviewer and interviewee to a higher level than the hubbub?)


(The podcatcher I use, RSSRadio, has 'audio compression', which equalises 
lower-volume audio content to that of the person speaking.)

Hi,

Voice Boost is useful in a situation where a podcaster is speaking with 
someone, and one person is louder than the other. It doesn't solve the 
problem if the difference is immense, but I have listened to podcasts with 
Voice Boost where the presenter apologizes for the volume disparity at the 
end, and I hadn't noticed a problem. It works just fine regardless of how 
the speed is set.


Best,

Downcast was my primary podcast player for several years, and I tried 
Overcast a little over a year ago and now use it as my primary podcast 
player.
From what I remember, Downcast only had one feature that Overcast does 
not, and that is the capability of actually saving your podcast files.
Now Overcast also has a couple of features that Downcast does not, and 
that is the smart speed and voice boost features, which are both very good 
features.  I know this is only my opinion, but I think Overcast has the 
best playback when it comes to playing faster then the normal speed.


Now I would encourage you, if you have not already, check out the settings 
screen.  2 important settings there is whether you want to stream or 
download the episodes, and what you want to do once you listen to an 
episode.  I personally download my episodes so I can listen to them no 
matter whether I have an internet connection or not, and I choose to 
manually delete an episode.  That way if I want to keep it afterwards I 
can. Now I will tell you that if I keep an episode after I listen to it, 
it does still show up under unplayed episodes.


The smart speed and voice boost settings can be found on the playback 
screen.


You will also find that Overcast is updated more frequently then downcast.
But at the end of the day, they are both good players, and it is a 
personal preference of

which you choose to use.

RE: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Cristóbal]

Made me look it up. The one I read about a few weeks ago was the Instant Pot 
Max. 

https://www.thekitchn.com/instant-pot-max-2018-new-features-254980

This one at least won’t have bluetooth and at the time of the article, is 
guesstimated to be around $200. This is what in part made my wife to go ahead 
and get the second 8 quart current model at the super cheap price back in 
February.

Hi Alan,

 

I only found a link to the bluetooth Instant Pot on their website where it 
describes the unit, but if you go to their own online store it is also no 
longer listed.

I just sent an email to them asking about what their rep told me last November 
about a new smart/bluetooth cooker coming out this year. Once I get a reply 
I’ll post it here.

Hi List,

 

I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the Instant Pot 
and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I read the Instant Pot app 
description and it seems to talk more about recipes as opposed to controlling 
the device with the app. Can anyone who uses an Instant Pot give me some 
direction on what the app allows you to do and whether it's accessible? Is 
there a particular Instant Pot model that I need to get to obtain app control 
over it?

 

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Instant Pot product recall

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi,

At some point somebody mentioned an Instant Pot product recall. I thought I 
post what is said about it on the Instant Pot website. It seems that Instant 
Pot makes a Walmart specific model called the "GEM 65" and that is the model 
affected:

Double Insight Recalls Gem 65 8-in-1 Multicookers
On March 1, 2018, Double Insight Inc. (Double Insight), in cooperation with the 
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced a voluntary recall
of Gem 65 8-in-1 Multicookers with batchcodes 1728, 1730, 1731, 1734 and 1746. 
The batchcode is located on the rating label on the underside of the product.
The batchcode is the 4-digit number located at the bottom right of the label.

Double Insight is instituting this voluntary recall because it has received 
customer reports of the product overheating, resulting in localized damage
to the underside of the product. The overheating is the result of a tooling 
misalignment during the manufacturing process, which created a gap between
the bottom of the inner pot and the top surface of the heating plate in the 
product. This gap can cause the multicooker to overheat and melt on the 
underside,
posing a fire hazard to consumers.

If you have a recalled Gem 65 8-in-1 Multicooker, you should immediately stop 
using your Gem 65 8-in-1 Multicooker, unplug the unit and return it to Walmart
to receive a full refund or contact Double Insight to request a free 
replacement Gem 8-in-1 Multicooker.

If you are not located near a Walmart store, please contact Double Insight to 
request a return shipping label and instructions for removing and returning
the unit's power cord and rating label located on the underside of your Gem 65 
8-in-1 Multicooker.  Double Insight will make every effort to assist you.

For additional information, please contact us toll-free at 1-888-891-1473 from 
8:30 am to 10:00 pm ET Monday through Friday and 10:00 am to 6:00 pm ET
Saturday and Sunday, or visit us online at instantpot, 
www.instantpot.com, and click on PRODUCT RECALL.

We sincerely regret any inconvenience that the voluntary recall of the Gem 65 
8-in-1 Multicooker may cause.

RE: Sonos and airplay?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Marie,

I believe you must be mistaken, here are the specs of the Play 5 from the Sonos 
website:

• Fills a large room with pure, brilliant sound.
• Bold. Pure. Dynamic. Intense. With deep bass that packs a punch.
• Uncompromised sound whether vertical or horizontal.
• Convenient, ultra-responsive top panel touch controls.
• Line-in. Plug in any device you desire.
• Streams over wi-fi, not Bluetooth, so the music never stops – even if you get 
a phone call.
• Connect Sonos to an Amazon Echo or Dot, then simply request the music you 
love.

Note item 5 in this list: Line-in. Plug in any device you desire.

The player should have come with a 3.5mm male-to-male cable, but they are also 
easily available at any electronics store.
You can of course also use a 3.5mm male to RCA male cable (that is the one with 
the two plugs at one end, red and white) and connect a stereo component such as 
a CD/DVD player, tuner etc.
OK, now once you have connected a device, let’s say it’s your iPod Touch, you 
should hear Voiceover coming out of your Sonos. If not make sure you go to your 
Sonos app, select Your Play 5 on the Room tab, then go to the Browse tab, 
select Line In and make sure you tap “Play”.
You can also set the Line In connection on the Play 5 to auto play on the Play 
5 or, if you have other Sonos speakers, on any of them and  you can set it so 
if the player selected for auto play is already part of a group it plays on all 
speakers in the group and lastly you can set it to start at a certain volume 
level. This is useful because if it happens to be loud music and the volume on 
the player where it starts playing is high it doesn’t start blasting giving 
everybody a heart attack. To do all this, go here in your Sonos app:

1. Tap the “More” tab at the bottom right of the screen
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Room Settings
4. Tap your Play 5 or, if you have more than one, tap the one where you have 
the 3.5mm cable plugged in
5. Just under where you can change the name of the speaker, tap on the “Line 
In” button
6. Explore the options available such as auto play, volume etc.
Note that if you don’t have a cable plugged in the “Line In” button under the 
room settings for your Play 5 won’t show up, it’s only there if a cable is 
plugged in. You don’t have to have anything connected on the other end, but the 
player senses if something is plugged into the 3.5mm port and only shows this 
button if there is.

I have several Connect and Connect Amp players as well as my first generation 
Play 5 which when it first came out in 2011 or 2012 was called the S5 and I 
have my Airport Express plugged in to my Connect Amp in the Kitchen which is 
connected to in-wall speakers which are installed between my counter top and 
the upper cabinets, I also have a cable connected to my Connect in the office 
which I can use to quickly plug in my laptop. This way I can just take my 
wireless keyboard to the living, room, kitchen or wherever I have a Sonos 
player and hear Jaws in that room. Lastly I have a cable connected to the 
Connect Amp in my bedroom. That player has in-ceiling speakers above the bed 
and I use the Line In cable if, for some reason I want to connect my iPhone or 
Echo Dot.
All of these Line In ports on all 3 players are set to auto play in the bedroom 
and then from there I can either group another room or rooms to it or change it 
if I want to play only in the kitchen, bathroom, office, living room or 
downstairs in my woodworking shop or the Connect I have connected to my big 
high-end stereo in my music room.

Note, my old S5/Play 5 has two 3.5mm ports, in addition to the Line In port it 
does have a 3.5mm headphone jack. This is awesome for private listening which 
at this point is not something Sonos is focused on. I mostly have the Play 5 
sitting under my bed with a set of good headphones connected, in the summer 
when it’s nice outside I have a second power cable on our deck so I can just 
unplug it under the bed and bring it outside.
I really hope in the next year or two that Sonos will finally get around to 
private listening and come up with a good Sonos headset which acts as its own 
player. I’m sure they would sell a load of those.

Regards,
Sieghard

even when choosing the Input service on the sonos app. so what am I doing wrong?

Hi

Andy is correct, but I wanted to tell you one thing. The iPhone 7 
and later has an indentation of where the home button is, but
there isn't a button you depress. It still acts just like the home 
button does though. The 10 is the only phone without a button

entirely.

Hope this helps,

Re: 2 quick questions regarding iPhone models

[Christopher Chaltain]

If you're asking about the iPhone 7 and 8 then you can press the virtual 
home button to bring up the home screen, double tap it to bring up the 
App Switcher and triple tap it to toggle Voice Over. There's a physical 
indentation on the screen and you get hap tic feedback when you press 
it, so it basically acts just like a mechanical button except it won't 
work until the display is active.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Caitlyn Furness]

I thought that too for a while, but then bit the bullet(or rather, my husband 
did), and now I’d pay that all over again if I had to.  This thing is 
indispensible at our house, gets used almost daily for various things.  
Remember, it’s not just a pressure cooker, it’s a slow cooker, yogurt maker, 
steamer, rice cooker, etc, so it’s like six or seven appliances in one.

JMO, of course!

Hi

Andy is correct, but I wanted to tell you one thing. The iPhone 7 and

there isn't a button you depress. It still acts just like the home button 
does though. The 10 is the only phone without a button

  The SE is the same size as the 5s so I would think if you could find one for 
either the SE or the 5s it would work. You should be able to leave it in all of 
the time, but if you do a lot of scanning, as with KNFB reader and you use a

Hello All, 

I have been in contact with the Apple accessibility people about this problem.  
I was told that I would need to use icloud v5.1.  According to the information 
apple has, version 5.1 is the only version that will work with Office 2016 or 
365.  All other versions have accessibility problems.  Does anyone know where I 
can get v5.1?  The link the representative sent me was a link for the current 
version, not the version I needed.  I guess Apple won’t be very happy when 
someone reviews the survey I sent.  

 

Thanks

RE: A question about why my phone goes to speaker phone during A call

[Paul and Paula Jordan]

Someone a while back suggested hitting the lock screen button when the phone 
goes to speaker randomly.  Sometimes that helps.  I, too, have that problem, 
though I haven't noticed it as much after the 11.3 update.  
God bless!

Hi when I am on A call and have the phone up to my ear.

Sometimes my phone will just change itself to speaker phone and i have to hit 
the home button to get it back to the ear piece.

How do I stop this from happening and still get at the speaker phone when I 
need it or want it?

Also why is this happening in the first place?

I am not moving the phone away from you ear to activate the sensor for it to 
change to speaker phone so how to I correct this?

The SE is the same size as the 5s so I would think if you could find one for 
either the SE or the 5s it would work. You should be able to leave it in all of

Hi 

Andy is correct, but I wanted to tell you one thing. The iPhone 7 and later has 
an indentation of where the home button is, but there isn't a button you

only phone without a button entirely.

Hope this helps,

When using my iPhone SE with T-Mobile, I have to keep WIFI calling on.
If I don't, I have no service in my apartment.


However, with my LG K20, I have at least 2 bars, when in my apartment.


Why might it be 1 way with the iPhone, and different with the LG?

This is interesting to me. But also, a bit odd.


Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hi, Am seeking recommendations for battery case for apple SE.  My ideal 
case would be one that can stay on the iphone at all times and can be charged 
at same time the phone battery itself is being charged.  Please tell me what 
you like about the one you suggest.  I have looked on amazon, but can’t really 
tell if any of them have the features I want.  Thanks for your help.

Question regarding iPhone and T-Mobile service

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I have a question. It's something I am just curious about, more than 
anything else.


When using my iPhone SE with T-Mobile, I have to keep WIFI calling on. 
If I don't, I have no service in my apartment.


However, with my LG K20, I have at least 2 bars, when in my apartment.


Why might it be 1 way with the iPhone, and different with the LG?

This is interesting to me. But also, a bit odd.


Any thoughts are appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Kristeen Hughes]

I am sorry to have mistakenly misled. When I was looking to buy the 6 quart 
model back in the early fall, they were easy to find. I now know that has 
changed. I think it is a shame. I really like the bluetooth model we have and 
hope they bring one out soon. My first experience was with a model that was not 
bluetooth, and it was not possible to do certain things with it. Also, there 
were just pieces if information I could never have. It was usable, but this is 
so much better.

Sorry if I made anyone’s hopes rise too high.

I’m glad we got ours when we did. I really like our bluetooth model and it

RE: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Ekstrand, Pamela A. -ND]

While I do agree that the app would give you more feedback regarding the use of 
the InstantPot, I just wanted to make sure people are aware that the InstantPot 
without the Bluetooth,  I believe it is called the Duo, is still accessible.  
My husband and I are both blind and we use ours without difficulty.

Hi List,

I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the Instant Pot 
and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I read the Instant Pot app 
description and it seems to talk more about recipes as opposed to controlling 
the device with the app. Can anyone who uses an Instant Pot give me some 
direction on what the app allows you to do and whether it's accessible? Is 
there a particular Instant Pot model that I need to get to obtain app control 
over it?

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

RE: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Cristóbal]

I read an article a few weeks ago where a new model was talked about. A 
relocation of the pressure  valve, less buttons on the console and some other 
technical aspects having to do with the level of pressure the device can 
achieve etc. Nothing for that model at least was mentioned about bluetooth.

The only Bluetooth model currently available is the Smart 60.  It is a 6 quart. 
 You might try calling instant pot and depending on where you live, Canada or 
USA there are different phone numbers.  There is a new one coming out but it 
hasn't yet.  I would love to see an 8 quart come out with Bluetooth.

Hi Mary,

 

Thanks so much for the details about the Bluetooth Instant Pot model. 
Unfortunately, this model appears to no longer be available at least not from 
Amazon in new condition. They have the Instant Pot Smart Bluetooth model in 
standard 6 quart size but only have 3 used ones available and the two used, 
like new ones were priced at $329. That seems exorbitant to me and since I'm 
considering this as a gift, I wouldn't buy a used model anyway.

 

If someone knows of another Instant Pot model with Bluetooth that's still 
obtainable, I'd love to know its specific name. I prefer buying on Amazon as 
opposed to eBay but I suspect I'm going to have to come up with another gift 
idea.

 

Thanks for the help from others who posted about the apps that work with 
controlling the Bluetooth model versus those that are mainly recipes.

Hi Alan,
If you want to use the app, which is fully accessible, you would need to get 
the instant pot model that includes Bluetooth. That unfortunately makes it a 
good deal more expensive. The instant pot does have  very tactile buttons on 
the front. So if you didn’t want to spend the money, you could make yourself a 
braille chart of what the buttons do. That having been said, I do have the 
Bluetooth model and I’m glad. One of the things that you can do is adjust the 
cooking duration. That is easy with the Bluetooth model. If you just have the 
one with the buttons were nothing talks you would have to remember the various 
amounts of time that you’re starting with depending on what operation you want 
to do, and then I assume hit a plus or minus button to advance or decrease the 
amount of time.

You can monitor the temperature with the app. You can monitor the time 
remaining under pressure. You can set the duration as I noted. Of course, you 
can also tell it to do various things like soup, rice, manual, there are a 
whole bunch of them. I’m honestly not sure how much difference all those things 
make, except there are times that are preset of course, but they can be changed 
by you. You can also slow cook or make yogurt, none of which I have done. You 
do have to pair the device, which means before you can do anything with the 
app, you have to hit a certain button on the pot to start the process. And I 
honestly don’t remember which one that is. There is a section for recipes. I 
never use it. On the bottom there are tabs, and I always go to the one that 
says dashboard. That is where you can decide what sort of cooking you want and 
set the various parameters accessibly. You can do a lot with these things, and 
I’m sure I have not made as much use of mind for different things as many 
people on the huge Insta pot facebook group have done.

Hi Mary and Chris

If it’s any help, I ordered and have received a Brailliant BI14, and am pleased 
with what I saw. I like the size and weight of it - it makes it very portable 
(much more so than other displays out there). I also really like the 
stand-alone note taking feature on it - it just means you can get it out and 
make notes really quickly/easily and then link those notes to your apple 
devices when you have time/if you want to. Also, obviously, I like the fact it 
will act as both a display and keyboard for my IPhone and IPad. There are a 
couple of things I’d like to see improved, and I hope HumanWare will take them

That is at this point up to Apple. It is Airplay 2 which Sonos will support and 
while it was briefly available in one of the earlier iOS 11.3 betas I think in 
February it was pulled when the following beta came out and it was not put back 
by the time iOS 11.3 was released. Airplay 2 is also what will enable multiple 
homePods to be used together so until Apple gets it right Sonos can’t enable 
it, either.

Having said this you could always add Airplay to Sonos by spending $50 or so on 
an Airport Express and provided you have something like a Connect or Play 5 
which has a Line In port. You would simply connect the Airport Express to the 
Line in port of the sonos and Airplay to the Airport Express. I set this up 
years ago and it works perfectly well. Of course I am not saying it is what I 
recommend at this point since I am pretty sure Airplay 2 will come soon.

course that’s not a big deal. Since I have not seen either of these devices in 
person, I can’t comment on the ergonomics, how quiet they are, etc.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Mary Otten]

Clearly, somebody is ripping somebody off. Even when new, the pot didn’t cost 
anywhere close to $329. I do hope they come out with another Bluetooth model, 
since this one is apparently not available anymore. Really too bad.

RE: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Sieghard Weitzel]

They are not so easy to find any more since InstantPot is no longer selling the 
old bluetooth model as far as I know. Even last November during the Black 
Friday/Cyber Monday week you  could find all the other models at good sale 
prices, but the bluetooth model was available at I think $199 here in Canada 
and that was it. This is when I called InstantPot and was told it would be much 
better to wait until the new bluetooth/smart cooker comes out this year and I 
wouldn’t be surprised if this year we will also see good deals on it during 
Black Friday. Wh o knows maybe there will be some good introductory deals also 
when it does finally come out.

Subject: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

Hi List,

I know this isn't a cooking list but I have a question about the Instant Pot 
and what exactly its iOS app allows one to control. I read the Instant Pot app 
description and it seems to talk more about recipes as opposed to controlling 
the device with the app. Can anyone who uses an Instant Pot give me some 
direction on what the app allows you to do and whether it's accessible? Is 
there a particular Instant Pot model that I need to get to obtain app control 
over it?

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

RE: Sonos and airplay?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

That is at this point up to Apple. It is Airplay 2 which Sonos will support and 
while it was briefly available in one of the earlier iOS 11.3 betas I think in 
February it was pulled when the following beta came out and it was not put back 
by the time iOS 11.3 was released. Airplay 2 is also what will enable multiple 
homePods to be used together so until Apple gets it right Sonos can’t enable 
it, either.
Having said this you could always add Airplay to Sonos by spending $50 or so on 
an Airport Express and provided you have something like a Connect or Play 5 
which has a Line In port. You would simply connect the Airport Express to the 
Line in port of the sonos and Airplay to the Airport Express. I set this up 
years ago and it works perfectly well. Of course I am not saying it is what I 
recommend at this point since I am pretty sure Airplay 2 will come soon.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Steve Matzura]

$329? Sheesh! That's like three times the price of the one without 
Bluetooth. No way  would I pay that even for a new one.

Hi Mary,

Thanks so much for the details about the Bluetooth Instant Pot model. 
Unfortunately, this model appears to no longer be available at least 
not from Amazon in new condition. They have the Instant Pot Smart 
Bluetooth model in standard 6 quart size but only have 3 used ones 
available and the two used, like new ones were priced at $329. That 
seems exorbitant to me and since I'm considering this as a gift, I 
wouldn't buy a used model anyway.


If someone knows of another Instant Pot model with Bluetooth that's 
still obtainable, I'd love to know its specific name. I prefer buying 
on Amazon as opposed to eBay but I suspect I'm going to have to come 
up with another gift idea.


Thanks for the help from others who posted about the apps that work 
with controlling the Bluetooth model versus those that are mainly recipes.

Hi Alan,
If you want to use the app, which is fully accessible, you would need 
to get the instant pot model that includes Bluetooth. That 
unfortunately makes it a good deal more expensive. The instant pot 
does have  very tactile buttons on the front. So if you didn’t want to 
spend the money, you could make yourself a braille chart of what the 
buttons do. That having been said, I do have the Bluetooth model and 
I’m glad. One of the things that you can do is adjust the cooking 
duration. That is easy with the Bluetooth model. If you just have the 
one with the buttons were nothing talks you would have to remember the 
various amounts of time that you’re starting with depending on what 
operation you want to do, and then I assume hit a plus or minus button 
to advance or decrease the amount of time.


You can monitor the temperature with the app. You can monitor the time 
remaining under pressure. You can set the duration as I noted. Of 
course, you can also tell it to do various things like soup, rice, 
manual, there are a whole bunch of them. I’m honestly not sure how 
much difference all those things make, except there are times that are 
preset of course, but they can be changed by you. You can also slow 
cook or make yogurt, none of which I have done. You do have to pair 
the device, which means before you can do anything with the app, you 
have to hit a certain button on the pot to start the process. And I 
honestly don’t remember which one that is. There is a section for 
recipes. I never use it. On the bottom there are tabs, and I always go 
to the one that says dashboard. That is where you can decide what sort 
of cooking you want and set the various parameters accessibly. You can 
do a lot with these things, and I’m sure I have not made as much use 
of mind for different things as many people on the huge Insta pot 
facebook group have done.

Can anyone who uses an Instant Pot give me some direction on what

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

RE: Brailliant BI 14 display

[Cris Ali]

How does the Brailliant BI 14 compare to the focus 14 in terms of 
functionality?  It will be nice if anyone who has seen both to tell me a little 
about that.  Certainly the Brailliant BI 14 is less expensive, and this is a 
big plus.

Hi Mary and Chris

If it’s any help, I ordered and have received a Brailliant BI14, and am pleased 
with what I saw. I like the size and weight of it - it makes it very portable 
(much more so than other displays out there). I also really like the 
stand-alone note taking feature on it - it just means you can get it out and 
make notes really quickly/easily and then link those notes to your apple 
devices when you have time/if you want to. Also, obviously, I like the fact it 
will act as both a display and keyboard for my IPhone and IPad. There are a 
couple of things I’d like to see improved, and I hope HumanWare will take them 
on board.

Re: Transitioning to Overcast from Downcast

[Anna Dresner]

Hi,

Voice Boost is useful in a situation where a podcaster is speaking with 
someone, and one person is louder than the other. It doesn't solve the problem 
if the difference is immense, but I have listened to podcasts with Voice Boost 
where the presenter apologizes for the volume disparity at the end, and I 
hadn't noticed a problem. It works just fine regardless of how the speed is set.

Best,
Anna

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Kay Malmquist]

The only Bluetooth model currently available is the Smart 60.  It is a 6 
quart.  You might try calling instant pot and depending on where you live, 
Canada or USA there are different phone numbers.  There is a new one coming 
out but it hasn't yet.  I would love to see an 8 quart come out with 
Bluetooth.

  Hi Mary,



  Thanks so much for the details about the Bluetooth Instant Pot model. 
Unfortunately, this model appears to no longer be available at least not 
from Amazon in new condition. They have the Instant Pot Smart Bluetooth 
model in standard 6 quart size but only have 3 used ones available and the 
two used, like new ones were priced at $329. That seems exorbitant to me and 
since I'm considering this as a gift, I wouldn't buy a used model anyway.



  If someone knows of another Instant Pot model with Bluetooth that's still 
obtainable, I'd love to know its specific name. I prefer buying on Amazon as 
opposed to eBay but I suspect I'm going to have to come up with another gift 
idea.



  Thanks for the help from others who posted about the apps that work with 
controlling the Bluetooth model versus those that are mainly recipes.



  Alan Lemly

  Hi Alan,
  If you want to use the app, which is fully accessible, you would need to 
get the instant pot model that includes Bluetooth. That unfortunately makes 
it a good deal more expensive. The instant pot does have  very tactile 
buttons on the front. So if you didn’t want to spend the money, you could 
make yourself a braille chart of what the buttons do. That having been said, 
I do have the Bluetooth model and I’m glad. One of the things that you can 
do is adjust the cooking duration. That is easy with the Bluetooth model. If 
you just have the one with the buttons were nothing talks you would have to 
remember the various amounts of time that you’re starting with depending on 
what operation you want to do, and then I assume hit a plus or minus button 
to advance or decrease the amount of time.

  You can monitor the temperature with the app. You can monitor the time 
remaining under pressure. You can set the duration as I noted. Of course, 
you can also tell it to do various things like soup, rice, manual, there are 
a whole bunch of them. I’m honestly not sure how much difference all those 
things make, except there are times that are preset of course, but they can 
be changed by you. You can also slow cook or make yogurt, none of which I 
have done. You do have to pair the device, which means before you can do 
anything with the app, you have to hit a certain button on the pot to start 
the process. And I honestly don’t remember which one that is. There is a 
section for recipes. I never use it. On the bottom there are tabs, and I 
always go to the one that says dashboard. That is where you can decide what 
sort of cooking you want and set the various parameters accessibly. You can 
do a lot with these things, and I’m sure I have not made as much use of mind 
for different things as many people on the huge Insta pot facebook group 
have done.

Re: Instant Pot App Accessibility and Features Question

[Kay Malmquist]

The app allows you to set the type of cooking you want to do, how much 
pressure (high or low), how long you want it to cook, if you want, you can 
load recipes, go to keep warm function or cancel in the middle of a function 
and a bunch more thing that I am not thinking about right now.  You can also 
check temperatures, how much duration you have left, pressure levels and 
other things that you just can't do without the app.  As a blind person I 
wouldn't have it any other way.  Yes, you can use it without the app, but 
you are guessing and once the program is under way, you have no idea of what 
actually is going on.  I really do love my instant pot.  Cooking is a blast 
with it and you can cook things that might have taken all day before in just 
a couple of hours or less.  Stews and soups taste great and are in my 
opinion even better than when slowcooked.  Although, you can use the Instant 
pot in slow cook mode if you like.  I have and will continue to enjoy the 
instant pot and the app.

Re: Bose connect

[Kay Malmquist]

Well, I have that app, and it would be interesting to see what anyone comes 
up with.  I had to use the assistance of Aira on my husbands iPhone to find 
the I agree button.  We  could only access that by turning voice over off. 
We had the same trouble with my husbands iPhone as well.  The rest of the 
app is basically usable, but wasn't worth the hassle.

Re: A question about why my phone goes to speaker phone during A call

[Mama Peach]

I am not sure if this is available on newer phones but on my phone which is 
a 5 SE, you can go into setting/General/Accessibility/VoiceOver/Audio and 
set this to where the speakerphone will not come on during a phone call. 
Just make sure auto select speaker in call is set to off.

Hi when I am on A call and have the phone up to my ear.

Sometimes my phone will just change itself to speaker phone and i have
to hit the home button to get it back to the ear piece.

How do I stop this from happening and still get at the speaker phone
when I need it or want it?

Also why is this happening in the first place?

I am not moving the phone away from you ear to activate the sensor for
it to change to speaker phone so how to I correct this?
