Just a thought here Jewel; considering that a volcano is a burst of steam, 
earth and molten lava spewing forth I should think (only presuming here now) 
that an astro volcano would be a burst of some type of cosmic activity.  Was 
the desired answer “Northern Lights” or “Aurora Borealis?"

 

This would be a burst of light from the outer limits - at least that’s what I

Facebook on the Phone

2018-08-05 Thread Susie Stageberg

So I got the Facebook app on my phone. Anyone got tips and tricks for how to
get around on this app, how to move between posts, read all the comments on
something, etc. etc. etc.? I use the mobile app on my desktop computer
because it is less cluttered than the "big" Facebook site, , but this looks
different.

 

 

Thanks.

 

Susie

Re: iPad, printer, keyboard case


I have an iPhone SE and the Logitech K480 keyboard and a Brother Wi-Fi black 
and white Laserjet printer that work great together, and the total cost if I 
went out and bought them today would be about $600.
As a totally blind person, I  cannot stand iPads for my personal use because of 
what Sieghard mentioned, plus the fact that apps have a different layout on the 
iPad. Mail is a particular pain since all the buttons you are used to being at 
the bottom of the screen are now at the top, not to mention the split screen 
thing that goes on. I am not sure what the iPad Pro 256 costs, but it is more 
than what my entire setup plus whatever they charge for the keyboard and 
printer, etc.
That Brother printer I mention, 2 or 3 years ago was I think $140 and it has a 
250 sheet paper tray, and is very fast. We have no need to print in color, not 
to mention the pain in the ... that ink-jets are with ink cartridges drying out 
etc.
(That may have been more than two cents worth, grin.(

Hi Reggie,

Why do you think an iPad will offer you a better experience than your iPhone? 
You can just as easily pair a keyboard with your iPhone and buy an Airprint 
compatible printer, just about all HP printers are and many others, just look 
for "Airprint".
What is the cost of an iPad Pro 9.7 inch with 256Gb of storage and the keyboard 
you mentioned in the US? Probably at least $1,000? You can buy a basic but 
completely capable Windows 10 laptop for half that and if you use NVDA youy 
wouldn't even have to pay for a screenreader. Just my two cents worth. Before 
you spend all that money I'd make an appointment at an Apple store and spend an 
hour or so with an iPad Pro 9.7 inch and see if you even like it, a lot of 
completely blind people find that large of a screen difficult when it comes to 
orientation or knowing where to look for what on the screen.

Subject: iPad, printer, keyboard case

So, this is what I am thinking. I want the ability to print. I want the 
smallest screen I can get. I use my devices for apps, email, and messages. 
Instead of getting a newer mac and because I am used to IOS I am thinking of an 
iPad pro 9.7 inch screen, 128 or 256 gigs storage and Apple's smart keyboard 
and a printer that is compatible with this device.

1 Would an newer iPad be compatible with any printers?
2 if I have to go to iPad pro or even if iPad would do printing, what printer 
should i buy that is accessible?
3 Are there any iPad cases with built in keyboards that would automatically 
connect with either device or do they all have a number to put in?
Thank you for any thoughts. There is just so much out there, and the most 
important questions are not answered so asking here.

Hi Carolyn,

If you have 6 or 8 contacts you call a lot it would be much easier to add them 
to your Favourites tab in the phone app. Whatever tab you select will be 
remembered when you open the phone app, e.g. if you have the Contacts tab or 
text a lot selected then each time you open the phone app you are instantly in 
contacts, if you select the Favourites tab you will always be in there.
To add somebody to Favourites, do the following:

1. Find the person in your contacts and double tap on it to open the contact 2. 
Do a 4-finger single tap in the bottom half of the screen, it takes you to the 
last item on the screen which Is"Share my location"
3. Swipe back to the left once and you find "Add to Favourites", double tap on 
that 4. Swipe until you find the action you want to do, e.g. if you have a home 
and mobile number entered for that person and you typically call them on their 
home number, find "Call Home" and then double tap on that.
5. You are now back in your contacts details, you can to the scrub gesture or 
double tap the back button to close it and go back to your main contacts list. 
Now open the phone app and double tap on Favourites if it is not already 
selected, you now see an entre for you rcontact with their home number and 
double tapping on it will call them at that number. You can add a second entry 
with their mobile number and depending on which of the entries you tap it will 
call either their home or their mobile number.
I have currently 10 entries on my Favourites tab and they all show on the first 
screen which means I can start at the top and run my finger down the screen and 
Voiceover speaks each name along with "home", "mobile" or whatever number I 
have selected for them. You can even add somebody to this list to text so that 
if you double tap on that entry instead of calling it will start a text message.
If you think about how many steps are involved in calling somebody using the 
contacts app using Favourites is super efficient. Here a summary:
Contacts app method:
1. Open the contacts app
2. Touch on the side to find the table index 3. Swipe potentially quite a lot 
to find the letter you want 4. Touch the screen and, if necessary, swipe some 
more to find the exact person 5. Double tap to open their contact 6. Find the 
number you want to call them on 7. Double tap to call Using the Favourites tab 
method:
1. Double tap on the phone app to open it, Favourites will be selected  if you 
last used it 2. Swipe right or run your finger down the screen towards the left 
of the screen to find the entry /name you want, if mostly you have just 8 or 10 
people on their you can probably learn like me to touch them almost at the 
first try, sometimes I might be one or two entries above or below and I have to 
swipe once or twice 3. Double tap to call

Subject: RE: My phone doesn't

I have a Windstream address that I use in Outlook for everything or almost 
everything. But, I do have a couple of email addresses. My husband set up my 
phone, and I don't know why he got a new one, just went through prompts. 
Anyway, yes, I am getting pretty close to doing that. I used to read emails on 
my iPhone 4S and could delete them. They all were in sync with this computer. 
Then for a while I had a tablet, which I sold, but I got to where I could send 
and receive emails on it. 

I have gotten comfortable with Contacts, Voice Mail, texting and Settings. Also 
now, I have a couple of apps that I go into regularly. Some of you on the list 
showed me how to move apps, and I got one done. I keep thinking I'll have a 
little time and move a couple more. The thing is, that I want to just move what 
I want to move - no more, no less. I am just glad that I have Contacts at the 
top left, so it is highlighted first, and all I have to do is double tap and 
I'm in it. I like Tables in it, and can zip to T and back to Suzy, my sister. 

If it weren't for you on this list and for the Hadley videos, I'd probably be 
getting Siri to do everything, but the Consumer Cellular guy told me, and he 
was right, that sometimes, Siri can't make calls, when I can in Contacts. I 
just think it is so neat that Contacts are on the Home Page, and I don't have 
to open Phone, then Contacts. 

Another thing I have learned it to check on App Switcher to make sure things 
are closed. I'm getting much better battery usage now, usually charge every 
other day. 

Best regard

Re: advice


Apps usually go to the last page or the first available spot. So when I 
download a new app, I go to the last page and check if it is on that page.
When you find it, flick down with one finger so it says edit mode and double 
tap. Now flick down until you hear drag item. Double tap. Then touch where you 
want the app, so if you want it after an app on another page, go to that page 
and touch the app that you want the new app after.
Then flick down until you hear drop after x app. Double tap and it should say 
drop complete.
This will take some practice and you want to hear drop ready before you do the 
last double tap. I hope that helps.

RE: Facebook on the Phone

Hi 

I use Facebook on my phone all the time so I will try my best to describe some 
tips and gestures to you through writing.  

 

First, you simply one finger double tap to open a post where you can view the 
like button, comment, and share button.  You can also view any comments people 
made.  

 

Second, if you do not want to view the post, you can double tap with two 
fingerts to bring up a menu of like, react, comment, share, and more.  The more 
button provides other options such as saving the post, unfollowing a post, 
hiding a post etc.  If you just want to react to a post, single tap with one 
finger on the react choice and another menu pops up with like, love, wow, haha, 
sad, and angry.  Single finger double tap on the emotion you want to select.  

 

Pictures with text in the image are not readable with voice over.  However, I 
heard this tip the other day when listening to one of the Tech talk podcasts on 
accessible Worl.  You open the post and then put the focus on the picture and 
then three finger single tap and a description of the picture and some or most 
or all of the text is read.  You must be running the most current version of 
IOS for this to work.  

 

Sharing a post is simple.  You can choose to share now with your friends, write 
a message along with the post, send in messenger or copy the link.  When 
writing a post, a new page opens with the post and there is a field in that 
page to compose a message along with the post.  It will say “write something” 
when the focus is on that field.  Double tap and a keyboard pops up.  To tag 
someone, you can do it in two different ways.  One is to type the person’s name 
into that field.  The easier way is to select the option that reads add more to 
your post and you will get more options such as tag a friend, feelings/emotions 
i.e. I am feeling happy or blessed or frustrated etc.  If you choose tag a 
friend, a list of your friends pops up and you select a friend you want to tag 
by simply one finger double tap their name and then select the done button in 
the upper right had corner.  Then one finger double tap the post button at the 
top.  

 

There is more things you can do but these are the basic and will get you 
started.  I signed up for Facebook about nine years ago but recently began 
using it on my phone because the website got so complicated with things popping 
up and interfering with my screen reader on the computer that I just gave up 
with it.  Now that I have it on my phone, I am on it every day.  So much 
easier.

it is less cluttered than the “big” Facebook site, , but this looks different.

Re: Facebook on the Phone

Great tip about reading text in a picture, I had always asumed this was 
something we just couldn't read.

The main thing i don't know about facebook is how to initiate a conversation 
with someone.  Once a conversation has started I can reply or like but can't 
start the conversation so instructions on how to do that would be great.

Thanks Linda

2018-08-05 Thread Tom's Gmail



Hey download an app from the App Store goes to your home screen first. If your 
home screen is full, it will go to the next screen where there’s an empty 
space. While downloading, I push the home screen, and then it will go 
automatically to the screen where it is being downloaded. It will be the last 
item closest to the dock on that screen. To move it, flick up and select drag 
item. Then go to where you want to put it and tap on an item. You can then 
select by flicking up either putting it before or after or on that item. 
Dragging and dropping is much easier than it used to be Tom frank

Re: going through the process of unlocking a phone

Hi all,

Is there a way to find out whether a phone is unlocked or not? I bought mine 
from Apple last fall, specifying AT&T as the carrier. It's an iPhone X. I seem 
to remember hearing that these phones came unlocked, but I'm not sure. I'd 
rather not have to do the restore from backup if it's not necessary.

Best,

It doesn't surprise me. Google groups are the worst because there's no easy way 
to manage email. I'm going away for two weeks and I can't even go nomail or 
unsubscribe from either google group I'm on. At least with groups.io you can do 
what you need to do. It's frustrating!

Re: going through the process of unlocking a phone

Hello Anna,

I suppose one easy way to check would be to try a sim from another carrier, 
that is what I did.

Here in the UK my Iphones are unlocked.

Thanks for all your help to the list.

Re: going through the process of unlocking a phone

2018-08-05 Thread Cris Ali

If you bought it from apple at full price then very likely unlocked. The locked 
phones are usually the ones you buy from the carrier at a subcidized price and 
tied to a contract with the carrier. You can tell if it is unlocked or not by 
inserting in it a sim card of a different carrier, if it took it then it is 
unlocked.

RE: iPad, printer, keyboard case

For what it is worth, the model of Brother printer I have is the HL-l2360D.
It can do double sided printing and work either over WiFi or via USB.
So if someone in the household doesn’t have wireless printing capability on 
their device, they can plug directly in with a USb printer cable.
I’m sure the models have changed by now, but they should be very similar.  When 
we had one that was USB only, it didn’t look much different than this one.

The set up is best done by someone with vision, though I suspect it could be 
done using a screen reader.

HTH,
Richard

RE: Facebook on the Phone

Hi 

Here is how to initiate a conversation on Facebook with one of your friends.  

 

On the bottom of the screen, there are tabs for Newsfeed, Watch i.e. videos, 
Requests, Market Place, Notifications and More.  Double tap on the more button. 
 This will bring you to your personal Home page.  

 

Double tap on the friends button.  Just swipe right going down the page until 
you hear friends.  Then select the friend you want to write something on their 
wall.  Double tap the friend’s name and it will take you to their personal home 
page.  Swiping left to right going down the page, you will come to a field that 
will read as “write something on this page or post on their wall.  Double tap 
that field and the keyboard pops up and you can type the message and then click 
or double tap post when you are done.  If there is no field read aloud to write 
something, it is usually because that friend has their privacy settings set so 
that no one can write on their wall.  

 

There is a work around for this.  You can write on your wall and tag that 
person in the post or simply type their name in the field.  For instance, you 
can double tap at the top of your newsfeed where it says check in or write 
something.  Then begin typing Mary Smith how about those Steelers (lol).  Then 
tap post. Rather double tap post.  

 

One thing I did not mention in my previous email is opening posts that contain 
more than one name.  I sometimes get a post of a video and it reads as an 
example, Mary Smith and John Brown shared a video.  Simply one finger double 
tap does not open the post.  I figured out that I had to double tap and hold on 
the second tap in order to open the post so I could view the video.  It 
sometimes takes a couple of tries to get it to open.  

 

If you have any more questions, I am happy to answer if I am able.

The main thing i don't know about facebook is how to initiate a conversation 
with someone.  Once a conversation has started I can reply or like but can't 
start the conversation so instructions on how to do that would be great.

Hi 

I use Facebook on my phone all the time so I will try my best to describe some 
tips and gestures to you through writing.  

 

First, you simply one finger double tap to open a post where you can view the 
like button, comment, and share button.  You can also view any comments people 
made.  

 

Second, if you do not want to view the post, you can double tap with two 
fingerts to bring up a menu of like, react, comment, share, and more.  The more 
button provides other options such as saving the post, unfollowing a post, 
hiding a post etc.  If you just want to react to a post, single tap with one 
finger on the react choice and another menu pops up with like, love, wow, haha, 
sad, and angry.  Single finger double tap on the emotion you want to select.  

 

Pictures with text in the image are not readable with voice over.  However, I 
heard this tip the other day when listening to one of the Tech talk podcasts on 
accessible Worl.  You open the post and then put the focus on the picture and 
then three finger single tap and a description of the picture and some or most 
or all of the text is read.  You must be running the most current version of 
IOS for this to work.  

 

Sharing a post is simple.  You can choose to share now with your friends, write 
a message along with the post, send in messenger or copy the link.  When 
writing a post, a new page opens with the post and there is a field in that 
page to compose a message along with the post.  It will say “write something” 
when the focus is on that field.  Double tap and a keyboard pops up.  To tag 
someone, you can do it in two different ways.  One is to type the person’s name 
into that field.  The easier way is to select the option that reads add more to 
your post and you will get more options such as tag a friend, feelings/emotions 
i.e. I am feeling happy or blessed or frustrated etc.  If you choose tag a 
friend, a list of your friends pops up and you select a friend you want to tag 
by simply one finger double tap their name and then select the done button in 
the upper right had corner.  Then one finger double tap the post button at the 
top.  

 

There is more things you can do but these are the basic and will get you 
started.  I signed up for Facebook about nine years ago but recently began

Re: iPad, printer, keyboard case

2018-08-05 Thread Mary Otten

On the other hand, if you don’t want to fool with learning windows and NVDA, 
and you are pretty comfortable with the voiceover commands on the keyboard, you 
could skip the iPad Pro, purchase the 9.7 inch regular iPad not pro, that just 
came out this year, and get by for a few hundred dollars less than you would if 
you purchased a pro. The good thing about having two devices is that you don’t 
blow the battery out of just the one, and end up needing battery when you don’t 
have any. 
I agree that the larger screen and the different way that some abs look is a 
pain, as richard noted. But if you really don’t have any experience with 
windows and screen reader there, that is a serious learning curve. So I would 
think twice about just going that way. I can’t remember if you said you did 
have or did not have windows experience.

Just a thought here Jewel; considering that a volcano is a burst of

Apps usually go to the last page or the first available spot. So when I 
download a new app, I go to the last page and check if it is on that page.  

When you find it, flick down with one finger so it says edit mode and double 
tap. Now flick down until you hear drag item. Double tap. Then touch where you 
want the app, so if you want it after an app on another page, go to that page 
and touch the app that you want the new app after. 

Then flick down until you hear drop after x app. Double tap and it should say 
drop complete. 

This will take some practice and you want to hear drop ready before you do the 
last double tap. I hope that helps.

Hi Carolyn,

If you have 6 or 8 contacts you call a lot it would be much easier to add them 
to your Favourites tab in the phone app. Whatever tab you select will be 
remembered when you open the phone app, e.g. if you have the Contacts tab or 
text a lot selected then each time you open the phone app you are instantly in 
contacts, if you select the Favourites tab you will always be in there.
To add somebody to Favourites, do the following:

1. Find the person in your contacts and double tap on it to open the contact 2. 
Do a 4-finger single tap in the bottom half of the screen, it takes you to the 
last item on the screen which Is"Share my location"
3. Swipe back to the left once and you find "Add to Favourites", double tap on 
that 4. Swipe until you find the action you want to do, e.g. if you have a home 
and mobile number entered for that person and you typically call them on their 
home number, find "Call Home" and then double tap on that.
5. You are now back in your contacts details, you can to the scrub gesture or 
double tap the back button to close it and go back to your main contacts list. 
Now open the phone app and double tap on Favourites if it is not already 
selected, you now see an entre for you rcontact with their home number and 
double tapping on it will call them at that number. You can add a second entry 
with their mobile number and depending on which of the entries you tap it will 
call either their home or their mobile number.
I have currently 10 entries on my Favourites tab and they all show on the first 
screen which means I can start at the top and run my finger down the screen and 
Voiceover speaks each name along with "home", "mobile" or whatever number I 
have selected for them. You can even add somebody to this list to text so that 
if you double tap on that entry instead of calling it will start a text message.
If you think about how many steps are involved in calling somebody using the 
contacts app using Favourites is super efficient. Here a summary:
Contacts app method:
1. Open the contacts app
2. Touch on the side to find the table index 3. Swipe potentially quite a lot 
to find the letter you want 4. Touch the screen and, if necessary, swipe some 
more to find the exact person 5. Double tap to open their contact 6. Find the 
number you want to call them on 7. Double tap to call Using the Favourites tab 
method:
1. Double tap on the phone app to open it, Favourites will be selected  if you 
last used it 2. Swipe right or run your finger down the screen towards the left 
of the screen to find the entry /name you want, if mostly you have just 8 or 10 
people on their you can probably learn like me to touch them almost at the 
first try, sometimes I might be one or two entries above or below and I have to 
swipe once or twice 3. Double tap to call

Sieghard

  Hi 

  Here is how to initiate a conversation on Facebook with one of your friends.  

  On the bottom of the screen, there are tabs for Newsfeed, Watch i.e. videos, 
Requests, Market Place, Notifications and More.  Double tap on the more button. 
 This will bring you to your personal Home page.  

  Double tap on the friends button.  Just swipe right going down the page until 
you hear friends.  Then select the friend you want to write something on their 
wall.  Double tap the friend’s name and it will take you to their personal home 
page.  Swiping left to right going down the page, you will come to a field that 
will read as “write something on this page or post on their wall.  Double tap 
that field and the keyboard pops up and you can type the message and then click 
or double tap post when you are done.  If there is no field read aloud to write 
something, it is usually because that friend has their privacy settings set so 
that no one can write on their wall.  

  There is a work around for this.  You can write on your wall and tag that 
person in the post or simply type their name in the field.  For instance, you 
can double tap at the top of your newsfeed where it says check in or write 
something.  Then begin typing Mary Smith how about those Steelers (lol).  Then 
tap post. Rather double tap post.  

  One thing I did not mention in my previous email is opening posts that 
contain more than one name.  I sometimes get a post of a video and it reads as 
an example, Mary Smith and John Brown shared a video.  Simply one finger double 
tap does not open the post.  I figured out that I had to double tap and hold on 
the second tap in order to open the post so I could view the video.  It 
sometimes takes a couple of tries to get it to open.  

  If you have any more questions, I am happy to answer if I am able.

  Great tip about reading text in a picture, I had always asumed this was 
something we just couldn't read.

  The main thing i don't know about facebook is how to initiate a conversation 
with someone.  Once a conversation has started I can reply or like but can't 
start the conversation so instructions on how to do that would be great.

  Thanks Linda

Hi 

I use Facebook on my phone all the time so I will try my best to describe 
some tips and gestures to you through writing.  

First, you simply one finger double tap to open a post where you can view 
the like button, comment, and share button.  You can also view any comments 
people made.  

Second, if you do not want to view the post, you can double tap with two 
fingerts to bring up a menu of like, react, comment, share, and more.  The more 
button provides other options such as saving the post, unfollowing a post, 
hiding a post etc.  If you just want to react to a post, single tap with one 
finger on the react choice and another menu pops up with like, love, wow, haha, 
sad, and angry.  Single finger double tap on the emotion you want to select.  

Pictures with text in the image are not readable with voice over.  However, 
I heard this tip the other day when listening to one of the Tech talk podcasts 
on accessible Worl.  You open the post and then put the focus on the picture 
and then three finger single tap and a description of the picture and some or 
most or all of the text is read.  You must be running the most current version 
of IOS for this to work.  

Sharing a post is simple.  You can choose to share now with your friends, 
write a message along with the post, send in messenger or copy the link.  When 
writing a post, a new page opens with the post and there is a field in that 
page to compose a message along with the post.  It will say “write something” 
when the focus is on that field.  Double tap and a keyboard pops up.  To tag 
someone, you can do it in two different ways.  One is to type the person’s name 
into that field.  The easier way is to select the option that reads add more to 
your post and you will get more options such as tag a friend, feelings/emotions 
i.e. I am feeli

  Hi 

  Here is how to initiate a conversation on Facebook with one of your 
friends.  

  On the bottom of the screen, there are tabs for Newsfeed, Watch i.e. 
videos, Requests, Market Place, Notifications and More.  Double tap on the more 
button.  This will bring you to your personal Home page.  

  Double tap on the friends button.  Just swipe right going down the page 
until you hear friends.  Then select the friend you want to write something on 
their wall.  Double tap the friend’s name and it will take you to their 
personal home page.  Swiping left to right going down the page, you will come 
to a field that will read as “write something on this page or post on their 
wall.  Double tap that field and the keyboard pops up and you can type the 
message and then click or double tap post when you are done.  If there is no 
field read aloud to write something, it is usually because that friend has 
their privacy settings set so that no one can write on their wall.  

  There is a work around for this.  You can write on your wall and tag that 
person in the post or simply type their name in the field.  For instance, you 
can double tap at the top of your newsfeed where it says check in or write 
something.  Then begin typing Mary Smith how about those Steelers (lol).  Then 
tap post. Rather double tap post.  

  One thing I did not mention in my previous email is opening posts that 
contain more than one name.  I sometimes get a post of a video and it reads as 
an example, Mary Smith and John Brown shared a video.  Simply one finger double 
tap does not open the post.  I figured out that I had to double tap and hold on 
the second tap in order to open the post so I could view the video.  It 
sometimes takes a couple of tries to get it to open.  

  If you have any more questions, I am happy to answer if I am able.

Re: How toreceive e-mails from this lest

2018-08-05 Thread Christopher Chaltain

Wow, I'm definitely not smarter then you are, and I can't explain why
this works for me and not for you.

I'm using Firefox with Orca on Linux. I follow the link at the bottom of
the page to get to my VIPhones page in Google Groups. Right above my
list of favorites and recently viewed groups, which are right above the
list of conversations in this group, I have collapsed menu buttons for
my settings and next to it for settings. If I expand the menu for my
settings, which I do by pressing the space bar, I see options for things
like my membership and email settings for this group, leave this group,
my global settings, and a few more. If I arrow down to my membership and
email settings for this group and press enter, I get a dialog where I
can leave the group, set my group display name, set whether a link to my
profile and my image is included in my posts, the email address used for
my membership in this group and finally a menu where I can select to get
notified for every post to this group, get a daily summary, get a
summary every 25 messages or not get any notifications at all.

Like I said, I'm not sure why this doesn't work for you. I'm pretty sure
Sieghard has also posted these instructions to the list in the past, and
I'm pretty sure he's using JAWS. I know this won't help Rebecca, but
hopefully others will find this information useful.

  Hi 

  Here is how to initiate a conversation on Facebook with one of your 
friends.  

  On the bottom of the screen, there are tabs for Newsfeed, Watch i.e. 
videos, Requests, Market Place, Notifications and More.  Double tap on the more 
button.  This will bring you to your personal Home page.  

  Double tap on the friends button.  Just swipe right going down the 
page until you hear friends.  Then select the friend you want to write 
something on their wall.  Double tap the friend’s name and it will take you to 
their personal home page.  Swiping left to right going down the page, you will 
come to a field that will read as “write something on this page or post on 
their wall.  Double tap that field and the keyboard pops up and you can type 
the message and then click or double tap post when you are done.  If there is 
no field read aloud to write something, it is usually because that friend has 
their privacy settings set so that no one can write on their wall.  

  There is a work around for this.  You can write on your wall and tag 
that person in the post or simply type their name in the field.  For instance, 
you can double tap at the top of your newsfeed where it says check in or write 
something.  Then begin typing Mary Smith how about those Steelers (lol).  Then 
tap post. Rather double tap post.  

  One thing I did not mention in my previous email is opening posts 
that contain more than one name.  I sometimes get a post of a video and it 
reads as an example, Mary Smith and John Brown shared a video.  Simply one 
finger double tap does not open the post.  I figured out that I had to double 
tap and hold on the second tap in order to open the post so I could view the 
video.  It sometimes takes a couple of tries to get it to open.  

  If you have any more questions, I am happy to answer if I am able.

  Great tip about reading text in a picture, I had always asumed this 
was something we just couldn't read.

  The main thing i don't know about facebook is how to initiate a 
conversation with someone.  Once a conversation has started I can reply or like 
but can't start the conversation so instructions on how to do that would be 
great.

  Thanks Linda

First, you simply one finger double tap to open a post where you 
can view the like button, comment, and share button.  You can also view any 
comments people made.  

Second, if you do not want to view the post, you can double tap 
with two fingerts to bring up a menu of like, react, comment, share, and more.  
The more button provides other options such as saving the post, unfollowing a

Re: Facebook on the Phone

Hello,


One way to write to a specific person is to choose the Your Profile Tab.

Navigate to the Friends item and double tap here.

You should now have a list of your friends.

Double tap your chosen friend and you should have a button to write to that 
friend.

  Here is how to initiate a conversation on Facebook with one of 
your friends.  

  On the bottom of the screen, there are tabs for Newsfeed, Watch 
i.e. videos, Requests, Market Place, Notifications and More.  Double tap on the 
more button.  This will bring you to your personal Home page.  

  Double tap on the friends button.  Just swipe right going down

something on their wall.  Double tap the friend’s name and it will take you to 
their personal home page.  Swiping left to right going down the page, you will

Re: Facebook on the Phone

Hello,

You are not being thick at all.

If you navigate to the Your Profile tab.

Towards the bottom of the screen you should have three 

items:

About, Photos and Friends.

Try working up vertically from the Your Profile Button.  You should get to:

What’s On your Mind Button.

Keep going up and you should reach the PhotosTab, two of three.  Swipe right to 
the Friends Tab.

Double tap the Friends Tab.
You should now have your list of friends.

 Hi
 Here is how to initiate a conversation on Facebook with one of your 
 friends. 
 On the bottom of the screen, there are tabs for Newsfeed, Watch i.e. 
 videos, Requests, Market Place, Notifications and More.  Double tap on the 
 more button.  This will bring you to your personal Home page. 
 Double tap on the friends button.  Just swipe right going down the page 
 until you hear friends.  Then select the friend you want to write 
 something on their wall.  Double tap the friend’s name and it will take 
 you to their personal home page.  Swiping left to right going down the 
 page, you will come to a field that will read as “write something on this 
 page or post on their wall.  Double tap that field and the keyboard pops 
 up and you can type the message and then click or double tap post when you 
 are done.  If there is no field read aloud to write something, it is 
 usually because that friend has their privacy settings set so that no one 
 can write on their wall. 
 There is a work around for this.  You can write on your wall and tag that 
 person in the post or simply type their name in the field.  For instance, 
 you can double tap at the top of your newsfeed where it says check in or 
 write something.  Then begin typing Mary Smith how about those Steelers 
 (lol).  Then tap post. Rather double tap post. 
 One thing I did not mention in my previous email is opening posts that 
 contain more than one name.  I sometimes get a post of a video and it 
 reads as an example, Mary Smith and John Brown shared a video.  Simply one 
 finger double tap does not open the post.  I figured out that I had to 
 double tap and hold on the second tap in order to open the post so I could 
 view the video.  It sometimes takes a couple of tries to get it to open. 
 If you have any more questions, I am happy to answer if I am able.

but can't start the conversation so instructions on how to do that would be

Hi 

I use Facebook on my phone all the time so I will try my best to 
describe some tips and gestures to you through writing.  

First, you simply one finger double tap to open a post where you can 
view the like button, comment, and share button.  You can also view any 
comments people made.  

Second, if you do not want to view the post, you can double tap with 
two fingerts to bring up a menu of like, react, comment, share, and more.  The 
more button provides other options such as saving the post, unfollowing a post, 
hiding a post etc.  If you just want to react to a post, single tap with one 
finger on the react choice and another menu pops up with like, love, wow, haha, 
sad, and angry.  Single finger double tap on the emotion you want to select.  

Pictures with text in the image are not readable with voice over.  
However, I heard this tip the other day when listening to one of the Tech talk 
podcasts on accessible Worl.  You open the post and then put the focus on the

RE: iPad, printer, keyboard case

Hi Richard,

I agree with respect to printers, I just bought an HP Laserjet Pro M102W which 
is Airprint capable and when I just checked on Amazon.com I saw it for $99.
Here some of the features:
Black-and-white printer: Black-and-white prints at up to 23 ppm.
Wireless printing: Print and share with notebooks or PCs on an existing 
wireless network, using the freedom of built-in wireless.
Wi-Fi Direct: Send print jobs quickly and efficiently—wirelessly without a 
network.
AirPrint: Print from your Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod touch to your HP printer.
Easy mobile printing: Print straight from your smartphone or tablet in just a 
few simple steps.
Fast wake-up and print: This printer wakes up fast and prints your first page 
faster—in as quickly as 7.3 seconds.
Page Maximizer Technology: More prints with Original HP toner cartridges with 
JetIntelligence.
HP Auto-On/Auto-Off Technology: Save energy with intelligence that turns the 
printer on when it’s needed and off when it isn’t.
Instant-on Technology: Stay efficient with technology that quickly starts up 
print jobs from low-power mode.
ENERGY STAR: Save energy with this ENERGY STAR printer.
Compact size: The compact design takes up little space.

Instead of getting a newer mac and because I am used to IOS I am thinking of an 
iPad pro 9.7 inch screen, 128 or 256 gigs storage and Apple's smart keyboard 
and a printer that is compatible with this device.

1 Would an newer iPad be compatible with any printers?
2 if I have to go to iPad pro or even if iPad would do printing, what printer 
should i buy that is accessible?
3 Are there any iPad cases with built in keyboards that would automatically 
connect with either device or do they all have a number to put in?
Thank you for any thoughts. There is just so much out there, and the most

RE: iPad, printer, keyboard case

For a blind person there is not so much an iPad would do that an iPad would do. 
I can see the allure of an ipad Pro for a sighted person especially with the 
Apple Pencil (styless) which let’s you do all sort of neat things, but what 
difference does it make if the bluetooth keyboard is hooked to the tablet or 
not. One other advantage of the iPad would be the much better and louder 
speakers, but that’s nothing you can’t have with an iPhone by using a bluetooth 
speaker or by having a set of wired speakers on the desk, remember you are 
essentially dealing with the same interface and probably would find that 
advanced word processing is just as much of a pain in the neck on an iPad as it 
is on the iPhone and if you want to use Excel a bit then it gets even worse.

iPad pro 9.7 inch screen, 128 or 256 gigs storage and Apple's smart keyboard 
and a printer that is compatible with this device.

1 Would an newer iPad be compatible with any printers?
2 if I have to go to iPad pro or even if iPad would do printing, what printer 
should i buy that is accessible?
3 Are there any iPad cases with built in keyboards that would automatically 
connect with either device or do they all have a number to put in?
Thank you for any thoughts. There is just so much out there, and the most 
important questions are not answered so asking here.

Just a thought here Jewel; considering that a volcano is a burst of steam,

that an astro volcano would be a burst of some type of cosmic activity.  Was 
the desired answer “Northern Lights” or “Aurora Borealis?"

Re: iPad, printer, keyboard case

2018-08-05 Thread Mary Otten

I could see a couple of advantages to having a connected keyboard. One would be 
that you don’t have to worry about the freeze ups that happened with Bluetooth, 
or at least that used to be very common. I don’t know if they still are. 
Another advantage is portability. Throw it in your backpack. Not two devices, 
just one. Same thing goes for the Bluetooth speaker. Who needs that if you have 
the iPad which has decent speakers? I think it really comes down to how 
comfortable you are with the keyboard interface for the device. I should think 
it would be about the same on the iPad as it would be including with 
spreadsheets. Plus how important is easy portability? How important is it to 
you not to have to learn a whole new screen reader and operating system?

RE: going through the process of unlocking a phone

Anna,

I don't know what this is worth but I had bookmarked a couple of AT&T web pages 
back in 2015 when I was getting my then iPhone 5 unlocked. One of the pages was 
an unlock status page and the other was an unlock request page. I now get a not 
found error when I attempt to go to either of these pages so something 
certainly seems to have changed with locked phones in the AT&T universe. You 
might try calling AT&T Customer Service at (888) 757-6500.

Good luck.

RE: How toreceive e-mails from this lest

Hi Rebecca,

I just clicked on the link that says "Visit this Group at" followed by the 
link, I was automatically signed in with my Google Account and then I used the 
"b" quic nav key in Jaws to find the "My Settings" button, you can also use 
Jaws search and look for "My Settings"
Here is Jaws speech history:
My settings button menu Settings button menu
make sure you use "My Settings" not "Settings", I now pressed the spacebar on 
"My Settings" to activate it and got this:
My membership and email settings for this group 1 of 2
Leave this group 2 of 2
When I was on " My membership and email settings for this group", I pressed the 
spacebar to activate it.
Now I again used "b" the "button" quick nav key until I heard the following:
" Notify me for every new message (about 39 per day) button menu".
Right above this it says "Email delivery preference:" so you could also use 
Jaws find to search for "preference" to get there.
Here now again from the Jaws speech history and what I pressed:
Notify me for every new message (about 39 per day) button menu menu
I now press the spacebar to activate this and Jaws said this next:
Notify me for every new message (about 39 per day) 4 of 4
I now arrow down and Jaws said this:
Don't send updates 1 of 4 - this is what other groups call the "No Mail" 
setting, arrow down:
Send daily summaries 2 of 4 - arrow down again:
Send combined updates (25 messages per email) 3 of 4 - arrow down again:
Notify me for every new message (about 39 per day) 4 of 4 - back to where I 
started
If you want to set to "Don't send  udpates just arrow to that option and press 
that tab key, Jaws will say:
Leaving menus
dialog 
Don't send updatesButton collapsed - I press tab I think it was twice:
Save Button - I pressed spacebar to activate it, it's important that after you 
change it you save the changes.

That's it, I did this on a Windows 10 laptop using Chrome and Jaws 2018 and 
found it very straight forward.

Regards,
Sieghard

RE: Facebook on the Phone

Linda 

I am sorry for the delay in replying.  I have a sinus infection I think and I 
fell asleep on the sofa.  Am trying to figure out if you figured out how to 
post on soneone’s wall. 

 

I am not running the latest IOS or Facebook on my phone.  I know I know….I have 
a stupid game I like that I am afraid I will lose once I update.  

 

So when I said double tap on the more button, you said your tab says Facebook 
menu.  I assume it will have a selection to view your home page.  Or, your 
profile where you can view items such as friends, events, groups you belong to 
your saved items etc.  On this page, you will select the friend’s tab by double 
tapping.  Then you would choose your friend by double tapping and it will take 
you to their page.  On that page, you will scroll down either by swiping left 
to right with one finger or the three finger gesture.  You will then come to a 
field that says “write something to Linda” for example.  Once you hear that 
spoken, it should be followed by text field.  Double tap on that spoken phrase 
and the keyboard will pop up.  Write your message and then double tap post.  

 

My tabs are like your tabs with the exception that my last or fifth tab says 
More instead of facebook Menu.

Hi 

Here is how to initiate a conversation on Facebook with one of your friends.  

On the bottom of the screen, there are tabs for Newsfeed, Watch i.e. videos, 
Requests, Market Place, Notifications and More.  Double tap on the more button. 
 This will bring you to your personal Home page.  

Double tap on the friends button.  Just swipe right going down the page until 
you hear friends.  Then select the friend you want to write something on their 
wall.  Double tap the friend’s name and it will take you to their personal home 
page.  Swiping left to right going down the page, you will come to a field that 
will read as “write something on this page or post on their wall.  Double tap 
that field and the keyboard pops up and you can type the message and then click 
or double tap post when you are done.  If there is no field read aloud to write 
something, it is usually because that friend has their privacy settings set so 
that no one can write on their wall.  

There is a work around for this.  You can write on your wall and tag that 
person in the post or simply type their name in the field.  For instance, you 
can double tap at the top of your newsfeed where it says check in or write 
something.  Then begin typing Mary Smith how about those Steelers (lol).  Then 
tap post. Rather double tap post.  

One thing I did not mention in my previous email is opening posts that contain 
more than one name.  I sometimes get a post of a video and it reads as an 
example, Mary Smith and John Brown shared a video.  Simply one finger double 
tap does not open the post.  I figured out that I had to double tap and hold on 
the second tap in order to open the post so I could view the video.  It 
sometimes takes a couple of tries to get it to open.  

If you have any more questions, I am happy to answer if I am able.

Put the business name in the Last Name field and you will be fine.
That is the only time I have found Siri to be unable to make calls.

Carolyn,
If your Apple ID is different than your preferred Email address, do 
call Apple Accessibility 877-204-3930 And have them walk you through changing 
your Apple ID so you do not lose anything in the process.
I know it can be done, but as you are carefully learning this stuff, it 
is worth it to take advantage of their service.
They are there 24/7. If your email is Gmail, I'm going to go out on a 
limb and say it is easy to set up that mail account on your iPhone.
If you want to do that, let's start a new thread.

That's interesting what the search brought up. I'll have to look into it. We
haven't call the time number very often since we have siri and other phones
that have clocks in them and talking clocks, and our computers to find out
the time and so on. But it's been a long time number here. I guess Wayne's
known this number forever. I'll have to ask him how far back it goes, but he
moved heare in 1957 when he was 6. Actually he just told me in the 1960's
was when he knew of the first time number that only told the time. Then he
thinks it was sometime in the 80's, it was at least over 30 years ago when
the time number had changed, to the 405-599-1234, and besides telling the
time it told the temperature as well. That person you found that owned the
number probably had a business relation ship with ou hospital with their
advertising on on the time number. Okay, that's it about this number, I'm
really getting off topic now, but thanks for this information, I'll look in
to this site, and we're so happy it's all straightened out and fixed. Now we
could move on to the unlocking of the phones, with the excellent
instructions from Cris. Thanks again.

I did a google search on that number and it shows up as belonging to

There is a world clock web site for time and date and more for each city.
It gives a live feed, so the time changes live on the web.  Here is the link

Hi
Here is how to initiate a conversation on Facebook with one of your friends.

On the bottom of the screen, there are tabs for Newsfeed, Watch i.e. videos, 
Requests, Market Place, Notifications and More.  Double tap on the more button. 
 This will bring you to your personal Home page.

Double tap on the friends button.  Just swipe right going down the page until 
you hear friends.  Then select the friend you want to write something on their 
wall.  Double tap the friend’s name and it will take you to their personal home 
page.  Swiping left to right going down the page, you will come to a field that 
will read as “write something on this page or post on their wall.  Double tap 
that field and the keyboard pops up and you can type the message and then click 
or double tap post when you are done.  If there is no field read aloud to write 
something, it is usually because that friend has their privacy settings set so 
that no one can write on their wall.

There is a work around for this.  You can write on your wall and tag that 
person in the post or simply type their name in the field.  For instance, you 
can double tap at the top of your newsfeed where it says check in or write 
something.  Then begin typing Mary Smith how about those Steelers (lol).  Then 
tap post. Rather double tap post.

One thing I did not mention in my previous email is opening posts that contain 
more than one name.  I sometimes get a post of a video and it reads as an 
example, Mary Smith and John Brown shared a video.  Simply one finger double 
tap does not open the post.  I figured out that I had to double tap and hold on 
the second tap in order to open the post so I could view the video.  It 
sometimes takes a couple of tries to get it to open.

If you have any more questions, I am happy to answer if I am able.

Hi
I use Facebook on my phone all the time so I will try my best to describe some 
tips and gestures to you through writing.

First, you simply one finger double tap to open a post where you can view the 
like button, comment, and share button.  You can also view any comments people 
made.

Second, if you do not want to view the post, you can double tap with two 
fingerts to bring up a menu of like, react, comment, share, and more.  The more 
button provides other options such as saving the post, unfollowing a post, 
hiding a post etc.  If you just want to react to a post, single tap with one 
finger on the react choice and another menu pops up with like, love, wow, haha, 
sad, and angry.  Single finger double tap on the emotion you want to select.

Pictures with text in the image are not readable with voice over.  However, I 
heard this tip the other day when listening to one of the Tech talk podcasts on 
accessible Worl.  You open the post and then put the focus on the picture and 
then three finger single tap and a description of the picture and some or most 
or all of the text is read.  You must be running the most current version of 
IOS for this to work.

Sharing a post is simple.  You can choose to share now with your friends, write 
a message along with the post, send in messenger or copy the link.  When 
writing a post, a new page opens with the post and there is a field in that 
page to compose a message along with the post.  It will say “write something” 
when the focus is on that field.  Double tap and a keyboard pops up.  To tag 
someone, you can do it in two different ways.  One is to type the person’s name 
into that field.

Subject: Windstream Email settings for Carolyn

Carolyn,

I found this on your Windstream's web site .  Have this information available 
when you go to set up your Email on your iPhone.

You will start under Settings, Accounts and Passwords.




What server settings do I use for Windstream email?




If your email app or client didn’t set up the servers automatically after you 
provided your email address, you will need to manually enter the incoming (IMAP 
or POP) and outgoing (SMTP) mail servers. IMAP is recommended for the incoming.




Incoming servers:




imap.windstream.net  

port: (SSL) 993

port:143

Outgoing servers:




smtp.windstream.net  

port: (SSL) 465

Both the incoming and outgoing servers will need to verify your full email 
address and password to work correctly so be sure you enable authentication on 
the outgoing server as well.




Description of servers




IMAP (Internet Messaging Access Protocol) –  Messages are kept on the 
Windstream server. All devices using IMAP will look the same; if a message is 
deleted, or a folder is created on any one device, or our webmail, that change 
will immediately reflect on all devices. This is the preferred incoming server 
type, especially if multiple devices check the same email address.

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) – The outgoing mail server.

  I am sorry for the delay in replying.  I have a sinus infection I think and I 
fell asleep on the sofa.  Am trying to figure out if you figured out how to 
post on soneone’s wall. 

   

  I am not running the latest IOS or Facebook on my phone.  I know I know….I 
have a stupid game I like that I am afraid I will lose once I update.  

   

  So when I said double tap on the more button, you said your tab says Facebook 
menu.  I assume it will have a selection to view your home page.  Or, your 
profile where you can view items such as friends, events, groups you belong to 
your saved items etc.  On this page, you will select the friend’s tab by double 
tapping.  Then you would choose your friend by double tapping and it will take 
you to their page.  On that page, you will scroll down either by swiping left 
to right with one finger or the three finger gesture.  You will then come to a 
field that says “write something to Linda” for example.  Once you hear that 
spoken, it should be followed by text field.  Double tap on that spoken phrase 
and the keyboard will pop up.  Write your message and then double tap post.  

   

  My tabs are like your tabs with the exception that my last or fifth tab says 
More instead of facebook Menu.

Hi Carolyn,

If you have 6 or 8 contacts you call a lot it would be much easier to add them 
to your Favourites tab in the phone app. Whatever tab you select will be 
remembered when you open the phone app, e.g. if you have the Contacts tab or 
text a lot selected then each time you open the phone app you are instantly in 
contacts, if you select the Favourites tab you will always be in there.
To add somebody to Favourites, do the following:

1. Find the person in your contacts and double tap on it to open the contact 2. 
Do a 4-finger single tap in the bottom half of the screen, it takes you to the 
last item on the screen which Is"Share my location"
3. Swipe back to the left once and you find "Add to Favourites", double tap on 
that 4. Swipe until you find the action you want to do, e.g. if you have a home 
and mobile number entered for that person and you typically call them on their 
home number, find "Call Home" and then double tap on that.
5. You are now back in your contacts details, you can to the scrub gesture or 
double tap the back button to close it and go back to your main contacts list. 
Now open the phone app and double tap on Favourites if it is not already 
selected, you now see an entre for you rcontact with their home number and 
double tapping on it will call them at that number. You can add a second entry 
with their mobile number and depending on which of the entries you tap it will 
call either their home or their mobile number.
I have currently 10 entries on my Favourites tab and they all show on the first 
screen which means I can start at the top and run my finger down the screen and 
Voiceover speaks each name along with "home", "mobile" or whatever number I 
have selected for them. You can even add somebody to this list to text so that 
if you double tap on that entry instead of calling it will start a text message.
If you think about how many steps are involved in calling somebody using the 
contacts app using Favourites is super efficient. Here a summary:
Contacts app method:
1. Open the contacts app
2. Touch on the side to find the table index 3. Swipe potentially quite a lot 
to find the letter you want 4. Touch the screen and, if necessary, swipe some 
more to find the exact person 5. Double tap to open their contact 6. Find the 
number you want to call them on 7. Double tap to call Using the Favourites tab 
method:
1. Double tap on the phone app to open it, Favourites will be selected  if you 
last used it 2. Swipe right or run your finger down the screen towards the left 
of the screen to find the entry /name you want, if mostly you have just 8 or 10 
people on their you can probably learn like me to touch them almost at the 
first try, sometimes I might be one or two entries above or below and I have to 
swipe once or twice 3. Double tap to call

getting Siri to do everything, but the Consumer Cellular guy told me, and he 
was right, that sometimes, Siri can't make calls, when I can in Contacts. I 
just think it is so neat that Contacts are on the Home Page, and I don't have 
to open Phone, then Contacts. 

Another thing I have learned it to check on App Switcher to make sure things 
are closed. I'm getting much better battery usage now, usually charge every 
other day.

RE: Facebook on the Phone

Hi Linda,

After you double tap the Facebook Menu tab at the bottom right, go to the top 
of the screen and swipe right until you hear “Show Profile and Pages” button.
If you double tap on this it will change and now say “Hide profiles and Pages”, 
now swipe right until you hear “your Profile”, and double tap on that.
If I do this Voiceover seems to focus on my cover photo, then if I swipe right 
I get my Profile picture and if I swipe right again I get buttons to “edit 
cover photo” and “edit profile picture”.
If I continue to swipe right I hear my name, then “Add temporary Bio”, a “Post” 
button” and then “Edit Profile” and “View As”
Continueing to swipe right I hear some information I put in about my school and 
where I am from and all that, eventually I get to 3 tabs:
About tab, 1 of 3
Photos tab,2 of 3
Friends tab, 3 of 3
If you double tap the friends tab it will show you all your friends.

As a quicker method you can also get there by finding the “Show Top Shortcuts” 
button which is just one swipe to the right of the “Show Profile and Pages” 
button.
If you double tap the “Show top shortcuts” button it again becomes a “Hide Top 
Shortcuts” button and now shortcuts are shown underneath, I get the following 
buttons
Most Recent
Friends
Groups
Market Place
Events
Memories
Saved
Pages

Obviously if you double tap on the “Friends” button you also see the list of 
your friends and it’s a lot easier and faster to get there.

I am sorry for the delay in replying.  I have a sinus infection I think and I 
fell asleep on the sofa.  Am trying to figure out if you figured out how to 
post on soneone’s wall.

I am not running the latest IOS or Facebook on my phone.  I know I know….I have 
a stupid game I like that I am afraid I will lose once I update.

So when I said double tap on the more button, you said your tab says Facebook 
menu.  I assume it will have a selection to view your home page.  Or, your 
profile where you can view items such as friends, events, groups you belong to 
your saved items etc.  On this page, you will select the friend’s tab by double 
tapping.  Then you would choose your friend by double tapping and it will take 
you to their page.  On that page, you will scroll down either by swiping left 
to right with one finger or the three finger gesture.  You will then come to a 
field that says “write something to Linda” for example.  Once you hear that 
spoken, it should be followed by text field.  Double tap on that spoken phrase 
and the keyboard will pop up.  Write your message and then double tap post.

My tabs are like your tabs with the exception that my last or fifth tab says 
More instead of facebook Menu.

RE: iPad, printer, keyboard case

I agree from the point of a totally blind person. I had a big tablet, sold it. 
I was using the screen about as much as the keyboard, but like a small screen, 
which is why I like my SE. 

I wanted to get a big Apple tablet for my husband, because he uses his Kindle 
Fire so much, charges a couple of times a day, but he says he likes the Kindle, 
is not interested in an iPad right now.

Hi Reggie,

Why do you think an iPad will offer you a better experience than your iPhone? 
You can just as easily pair a keyboard with your iPhone and buy an Airprint 
compatible printer, just about all HP printers are and many others, just look 
for "Airprint".
What is the cost of an iPad Pro 9.7 inch with 256Gb of storage and the keyboard 
you mentioned in the US? Probably at least $1,000? You can buy a basic but 
completely capable Windows 10 laptop for half that and if you use NVDA youy 
wouldn't even have to pay for a screenreader. Just my two cents worth. Before 
you spend all that money I'd make an appointment at an Apple store and spend an 
hour or so with an iPad Pro 9.7 inch and see if you even like it, a lot of 
completely blind people find that large of a screen difficult when it comes to 
orientation or knowing where to look for what on the screen.

Instead of getting a newer mac and because I am used to IOS I am thinking of an

and a printer that is compatible with this device.

1 Would an newer iPad be compatible with any printers? 
2 if I have to go to iPad pro or even if iPad would do printing, what printer 
should i buy that is accessible?
3 Are there any iPad cases with built in keyboards that would automatically 
connect with either device or do they all have a number to put in? 
Thank you for any thoughts. There is just so much out there, and the most 
important questions are not answered so asking here.

I have an iPhone SE and the Logitech K480 keyboard and a Brother Wi-Fi black 
and white Laserjet printer that work great together, and the total cost if I 
went out and bought them today would be about $600. 
As a totally blind person, I  cannot stand iPads for my personal use because of 
what Sieghard mentioned, plus the fact that apps have a different layout on the 
iPad. Mail is a particular pain since all the buttons you are used to being at 
the bottom of the screen are now at the top, not to mention the split screen 
thing that goes on. I am not sure what the iPad Pro 256 costs, but it is more 
than what my entire setup plus whatever they charge for the keyboard and 
printer, etc.
That Brother printer I mention, 2 or 3 years ago was I think $140 and it has a 
250 sheet paper tray, and is very fast. We have no need to print in color, not 
to mention the pain in the ... that ink-jets are with ink cartridges drying out 
etc.

If I do this Voiceover seems to focus on my cover photo, then if I swipe right 
I get my Profile picture and if I swipe right again I get buttons to “edit 
cover photo” and “edit profile picture”.
If I continue to swipe right I hear my name, then “Add temporary Bio”, a “Post” 
button” and then “Edit Profile” and “View As”
Continueing to swipe right I hear some information I put in about my school and 
where I am from and all that, eventually I get to 3 tabs:
About tab, 1 of 3
Photos tab,2 of 3
Friends tab, 3 of 3
If you double tap the friends tab it will show you all your friends.

As a quicker method you can also get there by finding the “Show Top Shortcuts” 
button which is just one swipe to the right of the “Show Profile and Pages” 
button.
If you double tap the “Show top shortcuts” button it again becomes a “Hide Top 
Shortcuts” button and now shortcuts are shown underneath, I get the following 
buttons
Most Recent
Friends
Groups
Market Place
Events
Memories
Saved
Pages
Local
Feeds
Nearby Friends
Recommendations
Obviously if you double tap on the “Friends” button you also see the list of 
your friends and it’s a lot easier and faster to get there.

I am sorry for the delay in replying.  I have a sinus infection I think and I 
fell asleep on the sofa.  Am trying to figure out if you figured out how to 
post on soneone’s wall.

I am not running the latest IOS or Facebook on my phone.  I know I know….I have 
a stupid game I like that I am afraid I will lose once I update.

So when I said double tap on the more button, you said your tab says Facebook 
menu.  I assume it will have a selection to view your home page.  Or, your 
profile where you can view items such as friends, events, groups you belong to 
your saved items etc.  On this page, you will select the friend’s tab by double 
tapping.  Then you would choose your friend by double tapping and it will take 
you to their page.  On that page, you will scroll down either by swiping left 
to right with one finger or the three finger gesture.  You will then come to a 
field that says “write something to Linda” for example.  Once you hear that 
spoken, it should be followed by text field.  Double tap on that spoken phrase 
and the keyboard will pop up.  Write your message and then double tap post.

My tabs are like your tabs with the exception that my last or fifth tab says 
More instead of facebook Menu.

RE: Facebook on the Phone

Hi Simon,

Actually, if you open the Facebook app you only have the following tabs along 
the bottom:
Newsfeed
Friend Requests
Market Place
Notifications
Facebook Menu

The Friend Requests tab here is not the same as the “Friends” button under 
Facebook Menu > Show Top Shortcuts, it only shows you new friend requests and 
suggestions not your existing list of friends.
However, I just noticed that if you double tap on the Friend Requests tab and 
then double tap on the “Find Friends” button at the top right of the screen, 
you also can get to your friends list.
By default if you do this the “suggestions” button is selected, but you also 
can select the following other buttons:
Suggestions, selected
Search
Requests
Contacts
Friends
Outgoing
If you double tap on the “Friends” button you get to your list of friends.

Hi
Here is how to initiate a conversation on Facebook with one of your friends.

On the bottom of the screen, there are tabs for Newsfeed, Watch i.e. videos, 
Requests, Market Place, Notifications and More.  Double tap on the more button. 
 This will bring you to your personal Home page.

Double tap on the friends button.  Just swipe right going down the page until 
you hear friends.  Then select the friend you want to write something on their 
wall.  Double tap the friend’s name and it will take you to their personal home 
page.  Swiping left to right going down the page, you will come to a field that 
will read as “write something on this page or post on their wall.  Double tap 
that field and the keyboard pops up and you can type the message and then click 
or double tap post when you are done.  If there is no field read aloud to write 
something, it is usually because that friend has their privacy settings set so 
that no one can write on their wall.

There is a work around for this.  You can write on your wall and tag that 
person in the post or simply type their name in the field.  For instance, you 
can double tap at the top of your newsfeed where it says check in or write 
something.  Then begin typing Mary Smith how about those Steelers (lol).  Then 
tap post. Rather double tap post.

One thing I did not mention in my previous email is opening posts that contain 
more than one name.  I sometimes get a post of a video and it reads as an 
example, Mary Smith and John Brown shared a video.  Simply one finger double 
tap does not open the post.  I figured out that I had to double tap and hold on 
the second tap in order to open the post so I could view the video.  It 
sometimes takes a couple of tries to get it to open.

If you have any more questions, I am happy to answer if I am able.

RE: How toreceive e-mails from this lest

Hi Rebecca,

I was going to write you privately, but in the header where normally it shows 
the person’s email address in your case only the Viphone address is shown.
If you want to see if I can help write me an email to 
siegh...@live.ca, if you use Jaws we could possibly do 
a tandem connection and I can see what might be wrong.
You can use the same email to call me via Facetime Audio so we can talk while I 
connect.

Regards,
Sieghard

Re: Facebook on the Phone

2018-08-05 Thread Deidre Muccio

A lot of what I do on my phone is intuitive. I swipe line by line getting the 
info as  Seigart detailed and sometimes double tap on something to find out 
what it will activate. Then using your roter for instance when you're in your 
list of friends you can go from a to B to C to D.  those are all things you can 
explore just by swiping right and then right again.
 Sense you're using the newer version of Facebook there are some tabs which I 
don't believe have been mentioned one is called watch where videos go and the 
last one is navigation which will take you to your profile page, Settings and 
so on.
I probably have gone through every single setting on my phone category and sub 
category to see where everything is. I don't mind it it's kind of a fun game 
and I don't find it  tedious. 
So welcome to Facebook. Good luck with it. By the way you're only going to see 
the more button as the first thing listed under each and every post. Just 
double tap on that and you'll see what options you have.

Re: going through the process of unlocking a phone

2018-08-05 Thread Arlene

Anna, we're getting ready to unlock our t-mobile phones. A person at the 
t-mobile store told us if we have another iphone on a different network 
other than t-mobile, that if you were to take the sim card out of that other 
network's phone, and put it into the phone you want to unlock, it would pop 
up some messages with the promps to unlock it. Here's some more information, 
with t-mobile, if you buy a phone from them, pay cash for the phone in full, 
it will still come with the phone locked so you would still have to unlock 
the phone, but if you could buy this same iphone from apple it would come 
unlocked. We don't know this from any actual experience but verizon phones, 
claim all their phones are unlocked, and a person from oneof the corprid 
verizon store said  the phones being unlocked has been going on for about 4 
years. One thing about it, if you put another sim card from another carrier 
that phone and it works, than you would know the phone is unlocked. We don't 
know about at&t about this, but we suggest you could ask at&t, and we hope 
you get an honest answer. I would say to ask more than one individual at 
at&t, I would ask both, someone in one of your city's corprid at&t stores, 
and also you could ask the customer service when you call on the phone. If 
your phone is completely paid for we suggest you get it unlocked soon. 
Before ending this message, we just called verizon and at&t. According to 
the customer service person from the at&t  customer service number, she said 
the phones were locked, but to find out for sure there's 2 things you could 
do besides calling the store. With your imei number you could call either 
the at&t customer service or call the store and they should be able to tell 
you. The second way to check with your imei number is to search for an imei 
checker. One of the results for an imei checker I found was to check and see 
if one's imei number was  on t-mobile. There's probably imei checkers for 
all the carriers. Let us know what you find out, Anna, and possibly someone 
knows a bit more.

Hi all,

Is there a way to find out whether a phone is unlocked or not? I bought mine 
from Apple last fall, specifying AT&T as the carrier. It's an iPhone X. I 
seem to remember hearing that these phones came unlocked, but I'm not sure. 
I'd rather not have to do the restore from backup if it's not necessary.

Re: Question: Seven Little Words

2018-08-05 Thread Jewel

I had another try with Google re what an astrovolcano was, but my second search 
was as unsuccessful as my first, so  I tried Katmai, which is the name of this 
supposed fiery feature, but still no use of the word astrovolcano came back.  
However, I was told that Katmai was a volcanic region:  an observation from JB: 
 akin to Yellowstone I would surmise:  in which was a bear/bison preservation 
area. 
The mention of bison surprised me as I didn't think that they were to be found 
as far north as that, or maybe Katmai is in southern Alaska and the bison, 
like, I believe, the karibou  migrate southward into the balmy climes of 
British Columbia for the winter when the bears are snoozing!  Do male bears 
snooze the winter away  or is it only the pregnant females who do that?
And returning, briefly, to astrovolcanos, a friend of mine, who, it has to be 
owned is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, might have had something when 
she said that the word made her think that a volcano had fallen out of the sky!
Now could it be that that area was struck by an asteroid, and a volcano grew 
from the strike zone?

Just a thought here Jewel; considering that a volcano is a burst of steam, 
earth and molten lava spewing forth I should think (only presuming here now) 
that an astro volcano would be a burst of some type of cosmic activity.  Was 
the desired answer “Northern Lights” or “Aurora Borealis?"



This would be a burst of light from the outer limits - at least that’s what I 
suppose.  ;-)

RE: how to go nomail

Hi Sieghard,

 

I believe Google has changed some of the email commands that used to work for 
GoogleGroups subscription management. When I Googled this, I believe I saw that 
only subscribe and unsubscribe and maybe something called manage are the 
available email commands now. I don't know why they changed this but apparently 
they did. I don't like putting all my eggs in one basket but I believe

Hey Maria.  I'll be interested to know what you come up with when you play
with your settings.  Let me know if you have the same issues I'm having with
my two google groups.

I wrote Sieghard privately off list as well about Jaws tandem.  I'd really
just like to go nomail since I really find this group and everyone on it to
be very helpful it's just I'm going for my new guide dog and will be gone
for two weeks so don't want to have to have email pile up.

As long as I've had my phone, I knew to answer the phone with the 2 finger
double tap, but somehow I began doing it with the single finger when i'd go
to answer the phone as if I had done it forever and never gave it a thought.
and it works so that's how I do it. It's something how for some things
there's certain ways of doing things, and then somewhere along the line you
find your way in doing it slightly different, kind of naturally without
thinking about it, and that's what happened with me here.

Hi Sieghard & Richard,

I totally understand what you're saying because I've been using the 2 finger
double tap gesture for answering & ending calls since getting my iPhone
almost 2 years ago.  But, if the single finger will work as effectively,
I'll use it to see how well it'll work with calls outside of me calling my
iPhone from a home phone.

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Sieghard, you beat me to the same point.
I suspect that those who cannot make the two-finger double tap work, are not
hitting the screen with both fingers at the same time and getting the
decline button.
Beside which, if you were checking your calendar while on the call and
wanted to hang up, the two-finger double tap will do that, but you would
have to switch back to the phone app and be sure you are on the end call
button for the single finger double tap to work.

Re: A Question About The Uber App

2018-08-05 Thread Kevin Thompson

Well, Uber came here in 2014, and since then, I have taken several hundred 
Uber’s. And I honestly have to say, about 95% of the time, the drivers answer. 
Yes, there definitely are quite a few foreign drivers, but most of them can 
understand me. I’ve only had one, or two incidents, where they couldn’t. I 
don’t like to send text messages with detailed information, but I will text 
them, and tell them to either answer the phone, or call me back. That usually 
works. And sometimes even typing in the name of the restaurant doesn’t work. 
The GPS does a lot of weird things, and it’s sometimes has a mind of its own. 
So, I really think it’s a hit, or miss situation when it comes to addresses. I 
always try to type my addresses in, and when I talk to the driver, if it is an 
area where the GPS actually has issues, I also try to give them landmarks, and 
particular information about where I’m located. But having said all of that, I 
don’t think there is a right way, or a wrong way to deal with situations like 
Uber and Lyft. Whatever way works best for the individual, is what that person 
should do.

Re: double tapping no longer answers phone calls?

2018-08-05 Thread Arlene

Carolyn, the end button is right below the zero.  If you made a call from 
the contacts, I don't know if you would need to bring up the keypad to get 
to the end  call button. I don't know about that right now since I haven't 
done that since whatever numbers I call I dial from the key pad.

Hi Sieghard & Richard,

I totally understand what you're saying because I've been using the 2 finger
double tap gesture for answering & ending calls since getting my iPhone
almost 2 years ago.  But, if the single finger will work as effectively,
I'll use it to see how well it'll work with calls outside of me calling my
iPhone from a home phone.

Sieghard, you beat me to the same point.
I suspect that those who cannot make the two-finger double tap work, are not
hitting the screen with both fingers at the same time and getting the
decline button.
Beside which, if you were checking your calendar while on the call and
wanted to hang up, the two-finger double tap will do that, but you would
have to switch back to the phone app and be sure you are on the end call
button for the single finger double tap to work.

RE: Muting and Unmutig the Phone

Mine vibrates when I push the switch down, but not when I reactivate my phone.

Evening all. Rookie question here, perhaps.

 

Is there a way to mute and unmute the phone besides that switch in the upper 
left corner? I have trouble getting my thumbnail in there to flip the switch. 
Also, is there a way to tell when you pick up the phone if it’s muted or not? 
Sometimes mine will say “Muted” or “unmuted” when I flip that darn switch, but 
not always; mostly it just vibrates. Is there something I can tweak in the 
settings?

 

Thanks.

 

Susie

Re: reading and editing .txt files on iPhone SE with Voiceover


voice Dream Reader is not designed to edit, though with text files you can do 
some basics.
Voice Dream Writer is designed as a very powerful text editing/writing app and 
costs $9.99.

I’m only speaking for myself here, but when I use Uber, or Lyft, I never 
text the driver. I much prefer calling them, that way I know that they have 
spoken to me directly, and they know to be looking for me. They don’t always 
read their text messages. So, I think it’s better to be safe than sorry. I 
have also had many drivers Tell Me, they would rather I called them, instead 
of texting them. That way, they don’t have to look down at their screen, to 
read the text. And the text messages sometimes will take away the GPS 
directions. However, it is my understanding that now whenever Uber drivers 
receive text messages, Uber reads it to them. I don’t know if the same thing 
applies to Lyft. Everyone has their way of doing things. This way is what 
works for me.

When your ride is assigned you will see a contact button. Double tap it 
and

you will be offered the option to call or text.  Choose text and when the
edit box comes up, enter the short cut and the phrase you set up should
populate the box. Then tap the Send button.

Hello Julian,

This is an excellent solution and one that I will use as I set up my Uber
profile as I, too, use a white cane.  I'll probably use your exact phrase 
as

my keyboard shortcut.

Again, an excellent solution.

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately, the Uber app does not have a way of giving this information
to drivers by default so, I do the following. I went into keyboard 
shortcuts

and created a phrase that when I type in certain letters on the keyboard’s
expands to read the following:

I am blind which means I cannot see you. I will be waiting outside to make
myself visible to you. I am a tall man with a long white cane, when you
arrive, please let me know that you’re here to pick me up by either
approaching me or calling me. Thank you.

Once I have a driver assigned to my trip, I send that message to the 
driver

and most the time it has been quite helpful.

Hi All,

I don't know if I've asked this before but, if so, I cannot remember
the answer.  When scheduling a ride via the Uber app, is it possible
to indicate that one is blind or uses a mobility aid  such as a white 
cane?

I ask because I'm just wondering how a totally blind person would
realize that the car has arrived.

Thank you,

Mark
