Hi Kitty,

If you swipe further you'll find what Apps are turned on and off for 
cellular.  Find Safari, and if that is off double tap it to turn it on.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Hi, 
That’s because you have to authenticate with Face ID, but you can go into

Re: Voiceover pronunciations

[Richard Turner]

I have no idea what you are referring to by what they did to the 
pronunciations. What voice are you using, what specific pronunciations do you 
not agree with, etc.
Blanket statements like that do not tell me anything.
So, if you could give more specifics, maybe there are work arounds, or you will 
find others who agree and can begin contacting Apple to make some changes.

I purchased the Colortest 150 from APH in 2000. It was actually more expensive 
than this new one, but at least at that time it was the only talking color 
identifier that was available. I can say that even today it works flawlessly. 
It actually tells you more than most folks need to know. I have found that when 
used properly it can determine color better than the actual naked eye.

Sieghard, as usual, I agree completely with you! 

 

My first thoughts as I was reading the initial message was, “I wonder the 
price?”

 

When I “read” that (near) $500 price-tag I almost fell out of my chair!

 

Now please understand everybody, I certainly appreciate the information about 
this new Color Star color identifier.  It’s just that I have to ask why these 
items seem always to be so exorbitantly priced.  I realize all about the small 
market those who might buy such “blind community” products represents and 
recouping R expenses, but I still have to ask that question.

With some devices like routers or the Sonos it is not necessarily only the

Subject: Xfinity XFIPods and iPhone Setup

 

Hi,

While it’s true that these devices don’t directly relate to iPhone use since 
you use your iPhone exclusively to set them up if you use that platform of 
course I thought it relevant to anyone on this list who might be a Comcast 
customer.

 

In case anyone had been anticipating the arrival of these devices for Comcast 
Xfinity internet customers and wondering what they’d be like and how accessible 
their setup would be let me assure you that Comcast as has become the custom of 
recent years have outdone themselves in creating an experience that is both 
easy, intuitive for all and accessible too.

I ordered the devices Thursday afternoon and they arrived Saturday. Their 
packaging is of very high quality. The devices are compact but feel very solid 
to the touch. But more importantly the setup process in Comcast’s Xfinity XFI 
app was seamless, intuitive, easy as can be and accessible at least on iOS 
devices from beginning to end.  I can’t speak to the Android side as I don’t 
have a device running it but I’ve no doubt that if it isn’t yet, it soon will 
be accessible on that device as well. True to the description setup took less 
than ten minutes and the end user needed to know practically next to nothing 
more than their own internet user name and password and how to follow prompts 
to get things up and running.

For those who’ve worked with mesh internet systems before the experience will 
be quite familiar but even for those with no prior experience with such devices 
worry not should you choose to implement them in your environs the entire 
process from ordering to setup will be a breeze.

I just thought I’d post just in case others like myself had been anticipating 
their arrival and wondered what it’d be like to get them up and going.

All of my devices including iDevices and Sonos speakers along with pc’s and 
other internet connected things are happily up and running. 

Take good care.

Robin

Photographs display announcement and properties.

[Malcolm Parfitt]

Hello,

I wonder if any list member would be kind enough to shed some light on a 
question that has interested me.

Some packages like Envision AI and TapTapSee allow you to save an image with 
its description.

So when we use the Photos App as VoiceOver users when we browse our photos 
library we here the description of the photo which makes it easier for us to 
organise things.

As I understand it a sighted person does not see these labels but information 
such as the location where the picture was taken is shown.

So there is a discrepancy between what we here and what people see.

So my question is that apart from Voiceover users are the labels that attached 
to photos are only of use to Voiceover users or do they have some useful 
purpose to the wider public?

I hope everyone is clear that I was simply sharing information.
I would no sooner spend that much on a color identifier, than I would several 
times that for a bar code scanner.
But, since some people prefer stand-alone devices, at any ridiculous price, I 
thought it was worth sharing.

On the bright side, it is less expensive than a previous color identifier that 
they sold for over $700.

If I were to buy a stand alone color identifier, it would be the Rainbow II.

But, I can get close enough color and pattern descriptions from TapTapSee, 
which is free.

But, it is very true that no app on the iPhone is going to be as accurate as a 
stand alone device simply because of the limits of the iPhone camera.

That may be changing with the newest phones, I don't know as I am happy 
sticking with my SE as long as possible which cost about what the Color Star is 
priced at and it can do a lot more than tell me about colors.  And, unless you 
are a blind clothes designer, I am not sure you need to know a thousand 
different shades.

How do I get notifications to completely read when my iPhone X with the latest OS version?

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

I'm running into a frustrating issue with my iPhone X and the latest OS.  When 
the screen is locked and a message or notification is received, the only thing 
that's read is who the thing came from.  I'd like the complete content of the 
message/notification to be read.

Thanks for any help on this.

Have a blessed day and don't work too hard.
Kevin Minor and the amazing Jilly, Lexington, KY

RE: accessible Journal app

[Alan Lemly]

Sarai,

 

I don't journal myself but you might take a look at Drafts 5.0. It has both 
free and subscription versions and from what I can tell, the free version is 
pretty powerful. The files it creates are saved in txt format so you would be 
able to access them easily with computers and other devices. It can save to 
Dropbox and other cloud services and also has an option to append to a journal 
file if you so choose. I'm not sure what dedicated journal apps provide but 
unless I'm missing something, I'm thinking this is pretty much creating text 
and Drafts has a lot of powerful features to do so and you might want to play 
around with it. AppleVis has a fairly recent podcast on Drafts so you might 
also check that out.

 

Good luck.

RE: Xfinity XFIPods and iPhone Setup

[Rick Alfaro]

Hi Robin. I must have missed the original message. Which Xfinity device are you 
referring to? Is it their standard router with digital voice support, or are 
you referring to some sort of mesh network device? That I haven’t seen yet?

Subject: Xfinity XFIPods and iPhone Setup

 

Hi,

While it’s true that these devices don’t directly relate to iPhone use since 
you use your iPhone exclusively to set them up if you use that platform of 
course I thought it relevant to anyone on this list who might be a Comcast 
customer.

 

In case anyone had been anticipating the arrival of these devices for Comcast 
Xfinity internet customers and wondering what they’d be like and how accessible 
their setup would be let me assure you that Comcast as has become the custom of 
recent years have outdone themselves in creating an experience that is both 
easy, intuitive for all and accessible too.

I ordered the devices Thursday afternoon and they arrived Saturday. Their 
packaging is of very high quality. The devices are compact but feel very solid 
to the touch. But more importantly the setup process in Comcast’s Xfinity XFI 
app was seamless, intuitive, easy as can be and accessible at least on iOS 
devices from beginning to end.  I can’t speak to the Android side as I don’t 
have a device running it but I’ve no doubt that if it isn’t yet, it soon will 
be accessible on that device as well. True to the description setup took less 
than ten minutes and the end user needed to know practically next to nothing 
more than their own internet user name and password and how to follow prompts 
to get things up and running.

For those who’ve worked with mesh internet systems before the experience will 
be quite familiar but even for those with no prior experience with such devices 
worry not should you choose to implement them in your environs the entire 
process from ordering to setup will be a breeze.

I just thought I’d post just in case others like myself had been anticipating 
their arrival and wondered what it’d be like to get them up and going.

All of my devices including iDevices and Sonos speakers along with pc’s and 
other internet connected things are happily up and running. 

Take good care.

Robin

Re: New color identifier, article from blind bargains

[Andy Baracco]

I purchased the Colortest 150 from APH in 2000. It was actually more expensive 
than this new one, but at least at that time it was the only talking color 
identifier that was available. I can say that even today it works flawlessly. 
It actually tells you more than most folks need to know. I have found that when 
used properly it can determine color better than the actual naked eye.

sandy,
Actually, you can write a message when you share text from Seeing AI.
You can touch in the body of the email  and double tap and enter text as always.
I'm not sure what happened for you, but I just sent myself a test email after 
scanning a document with no issues.

RE: New color identifier, article from blind bargains

[Richard Turner]

I hope everyone is clear that I was simply sharing information.
I would no sooner spend that much on a color identifier, than I would several 
times that for a bar code scanner.
But, since some people prefer stand-alone devices, at any ridiculous price, I 
thought it was worth sharing.

On the bright side, it is less expensive than a previous color identifier that 
they sold for over $700.

If I were to buy a stand alone color identifier, it would be the Rainbow II.

But, I can get close enough color and pattern descriptions from TapTapSee, 
which is free.

But, it is very true that no app on the iPhone is going to be as accurate as a 
stand alone device simply because of the limits of the iPhone camera.

That may be changing with the newest phones, I don't know as I am happy 
sticking with my SE as long as possible which cost about what the Color Star is 
priced at and it can do a lot more than tell me about colors.  And, unless you 
are a blind clothes designer, I am not sure you need to know a thousand 
different shades.

Re: New color identifier, article from blind bargains

[englishrider91]

The issue with any color-identifying app is the inconsistant lighting. With a 
standalone device, the lighting is always consistant. Now, I'm not saying I'd 
buy this device--my Rainbow was a lot cheeper and serves my needs well--but I 
do think there's a market/need out there for standalone devices.

Re: accessible Journal app

[Kimber Gardner]

Hi Sarai,

Mac Journal is good and works well on my iPad and iPhone. You can also
sync across devices but only apple devices so no windows access. But
if the windows access is not a deal breaker for you, I highly
recommend this app.

Sieghard, as usual, I agree completely with you!

My first thoughts as I was reading the initial message was, “I wonder the 
price?”

When I “read” that (near) $500 price-tag I almost fell out of my chair!

Now please understand everybody, I certainly appreciate the information about 
this new Color Star color identifier.  It’s just that I have to ask why these 
items seem always to be so exorbitantly priced.  I realize all about the small 
market those who might buy such “blind community” products represents and 
recouping R expenses, but I still have to ask that question.

APH Color Star Color Identifier can Identify 1,000 Shades, Speak Colors of LED 
Lights, Identify Patterns


J.J. Meddaugh   May 14, 2018 
5:51 PM ET





The American Printing House for the Blind has refreshed their talking color 
identifier with some modern features.
According to the description, the Color Star "recognizes more than 1,000 
different color shades, identifies color contrast measurements, recognizes the 
color of LED lights, perceives the light intensity in the surrounding 
environment, and recognizes patterns – all with clear spoken voice output."
The new unit also charges via USB and includes stereo headphones. It's 
available now for $449 from their online store. 

 
APH's previous color identifier, the ColorTest II was discontinued in January 
2018.

Re: Home Pod and test messages

I don’t think that statement is completely true. I think that the Apple Home 
Pod only works with one voice profile. I don’t believe that more than one 
person can use the device at this point.

Re: New color identifier, article from blind bargains

[Shermeen Khan]

Whoa! nearly 500 dollars? that thing had better be able to make me
breakfast, as well. Given that it doesn't do anything that can't be
achieved without too much inconvenience with little to no money, I'd
say it's a hard no over here. Certainly it would be convenient, but
absolutely not worth that hefty price tag.

Sieghard, as usual, I agree completely with you!

My first thoughts as I was reading the initial message was, “I wonder the

When I “read” that (near) $500 price-tag I almost fell out of my chair!

Now please understand everybody, I certainly appreciate the information about

items seem always to be so exorbitantly priced.  I realize all about the small 
market those who might buy such “blind community” products represents and

RE: New color identifier, article from blind bargains

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Certainly not a device I’ll buy. That is half the price of a brandnew iPhone or 
the price of a Sonos Play 5 which I would use a lot more often and given what 
you can do with one or two apps I can’t see too many people shelling out 500 
bucks for that. The LED colour thing is nice, but the odd time I need this I 
can call somebody with Be my Eyes for free andprobably get better feedback. 
With some devices like routers or the Sonos it is not necessarily only the 
colour which matters but also whether the LED is a solid blue or white or if 
it’s blinking fast or slow etc.

Regards,
Sieghard

APH Color Star Color Identifier can Identify 1,000 Shades, Speak Colors of LED 
Lights, Identify Patterns
J.J. Meddaugh May 14, 2018 
5:51 PM ET



The American Printing House for the Blind has refreshed their talking color 
identifier with some modern features.
According to the description, the Color Star "recognizes more than 1,000 
different color shades, identifies color contrast measurements, recognizes the 
color of LED lights, perceives the light intensity in the surrounding 
environment, and recognizes patterns – all with clear spoken voice output."
The new unit also charges via USB and includes stereo headphones. It's 
available now for $449 from their online 
store.
APH's previous color identifier, the ColorTest II was discontinued in January 
2018.

Hi,

I've been doing some reading about Apple's Home Pods.  One criticism I've run 
across is that when the person whose phone is paired with the Home Pod is in 
the house, anyone can read their text messages.  Is that true?  Is there a way 
to prevent it?

Thanks.

Re: Shared From Seeing AI

['Sandy Tomkins' via VIPhone]

Richard,
You are welcome! I too discovered something about the seeing AI app, to wit: 
when you choose the share option and then select mail, it doesn't seem to allow 
you to add anything into the message body. which is why an empty message 
arrived on list. Sorry folks. but, perhaps, it was just me, I wonder if anyone 
else finds the same small bug?

still very impressed with this seeing AI app! Sandy
