Plea for more descriptive subjects

[Jeffrey Turner]

I know this is really the job of the moderators, but I already asked Mark to 
remind people about this, and he hasn’t.

It is so much more helpful to use more descriptive subjects on your posts than 
something like “Question” or “My phone won’t” because those shorter subjects 
don’t really give any idea of what your post is about. Remember that your post 
goes into the permanent archive which is an important resource for this group, 
and your message may not be found by people searching that archive unless the 
subject is clear.

My apologies if I’ve overstepped, but my patience ran out.
Jeffrey

RE: Can't Activate Amazon Prime Audio Description in Canada

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Barry,

I assume you mean "Bosch" as in the Harry Bosch series? I am in BC and don't 
think I ever came across anything on Amazon Prime with audio description, 
certainly it doesn't seem to be available for the Harry Bosch series.

 I have an Amazon Prime Subscription here in Nova Scotia Canada. I cannot get 
the Audio Description to work. I have contacted Amazon Support. They cannot 
tell me whether or not it is available in Canada. I have followed the steps 
correctly but do not see an option for turning on the Audio Description.

I have tried it on my iPhone 7,  my Apple TV 4th generation and within the 
Prime Video App on my Sony Smart TV — all with no success. I have tried it with 
Boch which does have Audio Dscription.

Have any other Canadians tried it and succeeded?

Thanks.

Join Me in Reporting Twitter for iOS v7.28.2 VoiceOver Bug: Cannot Read Long Direct Messages

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

I am cross-posting this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing
list.

As of the latest Twitter for iOS app, v7.28.2, released July 24, 2018,
VoiceOver users cannot read long direct messages. If the DM goes beyond a
certain number of characters, speech stops.  This was not the case in
previous versions of the app.

Please join me in reporting this issue.

The following is the review I posted in the App Store.  You are welcome to
use any or all of it in your feedback to Twitter:

[BEGIN REVIEW]
[SUBJECT]:
As of Latest App Update, The Visually Impaired Cannot Read Long Direct
Messages

[BODY]:
Hello,

As of the latest Twitter for iOS app, v7.28.2, released July 24, 2018,
VoiceOver users cannot read long direct messages. If the DM goes beyond a
certain number of characters, speech stops.  This was not the case in
previous versions of the app.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1.
Make certain that VoiceOver is enabled.

2.
Select the Messages Tab located along the bottom row of the display.

3.
Attempt to read a direct message longer than 15 or so characters.

I am posting this review as a means of requesting that the Twitter
developers address this problem as soon as possible.

Thank you,
[END REVIEW]

Here is my tweet on this issue:
[BEGIN TWEET]:
In #iOS @Twitter v7.28.2 app, long Direct Messages are no longer accessible
via #VoiceOver, Apple's software screen reading solution for the blind and
#LowVision. Please fix. @Support.

The following is the text of the feedback I submitted via Twitter's feedback
tool, which has a 500-character limit:
[BEGIN FEEDBACK]
In the latest release of Twitter for iOS (v7.28.2), VoiceOver users cannot

Hi Bill,

It is easy to find somebody's email simply by pressing Shift+Tab a few times 
when the message is open until you get to the "From" field. I did this in your 
message and after pressing Control+A and then Control+C, here is what I get if 
I paste the content of the clipboard:

where your email is not part of that address, here is an example from a message 
Donna posted:
viphone@googlegroups.com; on behalf of; Donna 

As you can see this "From" field contains the "on behalf of" followed by the 
person's email address. I don't know what those of you where the address 
doesn't show up do differently, but even if you reply to the email the address 
is simply not there, here is the header when I press Control+R to reply to your

the From field, put the Jaws cursor on their email, right click or press

 I’ve noticed a couple messages on this list commenting that, when someone 
wants to reply directly to the sender of a specific e-mail message, they can’t 
find that person’s address.  Here’s a somewhat clumsy “work around."


First, reply to the message in question.

Then, locate the “Originator Line” and you should find that the e-mail address 
of the person sending the message to which you wish to reply is listed.  Copy 
that direct e-mail address, go back to the “To” field - deleting the list 
address and paste the sender’s address there instead.

with text selection feel free to contact me directly at:

Hi Hank,

Try the following:
Open the Control Center by touching the top of the screen / status bar, then 
swiping up with 3 fingers.  Now swipe to the right a few times, I believe 
it's 4 times, to the Lock Rotation or Orientation button, & single finger 
double tap it to toggle it on / off.

Landscape & Portrait screen displays explained below:
landscape image

Refers to an image that is framed horizontally so the scene spreads out from

vertically so the scene spreads out up and down.

The following 

Can't Activate Amazon Prime Audio Description in Canada

[Barry Abbott]

 I have an Amazon Prime Subscription here in Nova Scotia Canada. I cannot get 
the Audio Description to work. I have contacted Amazon Support. They cannot 
tell me whether or not it is available in Canada. I have followed the steps 
correctly but do not see an option for turning on the Audio Description.

I have tried it on my iPhone 7,  my Apple TV 4th generation and within the 
Prime Video App on my Sony Smart TV — all with no success. I have tried it with 
Boch which does have Audio Dscription.

Have any other Canadians tried it and succeeded?

Thanks.

Hi all,

I've just re-downloaded this app onto my phone.

Is there any way to take a virtual tour of my city from my home with this
app?

I see where I can have a third party app provide directions to a certain
place and can see intersections near by, but that's all I see.

Thanks for the help,

Kayla

Yes, but then, I'd need to know how to set my message rules for my boxes, and,

A helpful person with the lists did some checking for me, and it seems that 
the @group.io is blocked as several servers, like AOL, and my server said 
that for the time being, it must be "black listed," since none of the mail 
is showing on my web site emails. So, I hope time will solve the problem.

You have a log in that you use to manage your Google Groups. This log on 
doesn't have to be the same email address you use to subscribe to a 
particular group. One of the options in My Membership and Email Settings for 
This List under My Settings is to specify the email address you use to send 
and receive posts for the list. You could use a different email address for 
every group if you wanted to.

A helpful person with the lists did some checking for me, and it seems that 
the @group.io is blocked as several servers, like AOL, and my server said 
that for the time being, it must be "black listed," since none of the mail 
is showing on my web site emails. So, I hope time will solve the problem.

You have a log in that you use to manage your Google Groups. This log on 
doesn't have to be the same email address you use to subscribe to a 
particular group. One of the options in My Membership and Email Settings for 
This List under My Settings is to specify the email address you use to send

every group if you wanted to.

Hi all.  I decided that since my address doesn’t show up in the 
membership list that I would try and rejoin and then try to go nomail 
from there.  Don’t know if I’d get double messages that way or if it will 
correct the issue that I’m having.  We shall see.  It was just a thought 
as when I’d go online logging in to the google groups web site under my 
icloud account that I set up there it doesn’t show me subscribed to any 
groups at all.

Anthony,

Do the following:
1. Touch the app you want to remove or swipe to it 2. Swipe up or down with one 
finger, Voiceover will say "Edit Mode" and then double tap, Voiceover will say 
"Started Editing"
3. Now swipe down again with one finger, Voiceover will say "Delete", double 
tap, Voiceover will say "Delete" followed by the app name.
4. Swipe right, Voiceover will say "Deleting this app will also delete its 
data", then swipe right again and you hear "Cancel", swipe right one more time 
to "Delete", double tap to confirm and the app will now be deleted.

Hi sieghard, 

Many thanks for all the useful info you have sent me regarding the gps maps.

Subject: RE: App waonted that provides gps sattlelite info:

 

not much to explain, it’s a simple little app which uses the GPS receiver in 
your phone to display your elevation/altitude above sea level, it will also 
display the coordinates of your current location and, if you are walking or 
driving, it will display your current speed.

 

If you want just information as to where you are, upcoming streets and so on 
you can use Blindsquare 
  which costs 
$39.99 UUS.

You can also use Apple Maps which is on your phone already and it’s called 
“Maps” or you can download Google Maps 
  
which is also accessible, both of them are free to use.

If you want a dedicated GPS app for the blind which also lets you put in an 
address/location you have the following two options:

Nearby Explorer for $79.99 
 

Seeing Eye GPS XT for $199.99 
 

Seeing Eye GPS – subscription model, $9.99 for 30-day use or $69.99 for 1-year 
use

Sieghard

Hi sieghard, 

Can you please explain to me much more about the use of that gps-data-xxl? And 
also could you tell me if there is a very good map that blind persons can use 
better when we go out by ourselves.

Hi Don,

 

I had a look and found the following two apps:

 

GPS Data XXL  

Price: Free, offers $0.99 in-app purchase to remove ads

However, I downloaded this app since it was free and while it displays 
elevation, speed and coordinates in a nice way which Voiceover reads well I 
don’t see anything about number of satellites and strength even though the 
description mentions this, I have to get one o fmy sighted employees to take a 
look tomorrow to see if the information is there but not accessible to 
Voiceover.

I might keep this app, though, I can ask SIRI about my elevation and such, but 
I think this one works without data and it’s nice to have access to this in an 
uncluttered format and speed is also nice when you are in a car or train, have 
to try it next time I fly to see if it works on the plane, often these apps 
don’t work at very high altitudes and speeds.

 

Here is another one which costs a few bucks, but I didn’t buy it, it gets good 
ratings, though, just not sure about accessibility:

GPS Diagnostic: Satellite Test 

 

Price: $2.99, offers $1.99 in-app purchase for “Coordinates-Pro” whatever 
exactly that is.

Sieghard

Hi Listers,

 

I am looking for an app that will report the number of sattlelites in view at 
any particular time or location.

 

I had one called status tool which was great, giving number of sattlelites, 
their signal strengths etc.

 

That app was never updated so it won't run on IOS 11.

 

I have downloaded apps such as gps, gps status, gps tools, etc. and none of 
them do this.

 

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Maybe I am wasting my time, not sure.

 

Don

Hi Bill,

It is easy to find somebody's email simply by pressing Shift+Tab a few times 
when the message is open until you get to the "From" field. I did this in your 
message and after pressing Control+A and then Control+C, here is what I get if 
I paste the content of the clipboard:

where your email is not part of that address, here is an example from a message 
Donna posted:

As you can see this "From" field contains the "on behalf of" followed by the 
person's email address. I don't know what those of you where the address 
doesn't show up do differently, but even if you reply to the email the address 
is simply not there, here is the header when I press Control+R to reply to your

 I’ve noticed a couple messages on this list commenting that, when someone 
wants to reply directly to the sender of a specific e-mail message, they can’t 
find that person’s address.  Here’s a somewhat clumsy “work around."


First, reply to the message in question.

Then, locate the “Originator Line” and you should find that the e-mail address 
of the person sending the message to which you wish to reply is listed.  Copy 
that direct e-mail address, go back to the “To” field - deleting the list 
address and paste the sender’s address there instead.

NOTE: The above tip presumes a degree of proficiency with selecting, copying 
and pasting text.  If you are interested in using the tip but are uncomfortable 
with text selection feel free to contact me directly at:

Is the voice on that TV the same as the one on the Roku stick? We have one of 
those, and I actually found a voice almost not understandable. I’ve been using 
speech synthesizers for a long time, all the way back to dos. So it’s a great 
mystery to me why these folks who make these TV boxes accessible can’t find a 
way to give us a voice that’s really clear. Amazon wins hands-down in my 
opinion in that regard. Just like with the Roku TV, switching ports is totally 
accessible on the Amazon one, and you can also named him whatever you want, 
which I didn’t bother doing. You also have voice control of the TV, including 
turning it off and on, switching ports, launching movies or apps whatever. The 
Amazon TV is more expensive than that Roku. So if you’re satisfied with the 
voice, it sounds like it could be a good way to go. I just couldn’t get past 
the voice if it’s the same as the one on stick that we have.

No it is not.  The voice on that device will put you off. The voice on the fire 
TV is quite understandable.

Is the voice on that TV the same as the one on the Roku stick? We have one of 
those, and I actually found a voice almost not understandable. I’ve been using 
speech synthesizers for a long time, all the way back to dos. So it’s a great 
mystery to me why these folks who make these TV boxes accessible can’t find a 
way to give us a voice that’s really clear. Amazon wins hands-down in my 
opinion in that regard. Just like with the Roku TV, switching ports is totally 
accessible on the Amazon one, and you can also named him whatever you want, 
which I didn’t bother doing. You also have voice control of the TV, including 
turning it off and on, switching ports, launching movies or apps whatever. The 
Amazon TV is more expensive than that Roku. So if you’re satisfied with the 
voice, it sounds like it could be a good way to go. I just couldn’t get past 
the voice if it’s the same as the one on stick that we have.

RE: going through the process of unlocking a phone

[Zhi Huang]

Hi Sieghard:

After reading the article and calling, and talking to Comcast and Verizon, I 
know it should work, but truth is, I just have to ask, is it worth all the 
trouble, and would it even accomplish the task in the end.  To top things off, 
Comcast currently has a deal until September 30 where you can get an iPhone8 
256GB for $700, the same price for the iPhone8 64GB model.  Since my wife's 
iPhone 6 is dying quickly and she has to travel soon, we thought about this.  
However, when we get there we get this stuff about limited supply and how they 
only have the 64GB for $700.  The guy then has the nerve to ask, DO you need 
all that storage?  I told him, since the 256 model is $150 off, do you need 
$150?
Truth is Comcast has the best deal.  $12 per GB of Data and $2 per line for 
unlimited talk and text for Internet subscribers.  My wife and I only use 1 to 
2 GB between us so monthly bill would be $16 for 1 GB to $40 even if we used 3 
GB.  Problem is, it's not worth all the trouble if it probably won't happen 
anyway.

Seems like you didn't read the article Zhi provided the link for, the person 
who wrote it said he already had a line with them and put in the SIM into the 
unlocked iPhone 5S he wanted to add and it worked, but still at the store they 
told him they couldn't do it. Maybe at a different store it would be different, 
but there are probably other good deals out there and my attitude here would be 
that if they don't want my business and monthly payment possibly for years to 
come then I go elsewhere and I would possibly go further and remove any other 
services from them if I had any.

 I’ve noticed a couple messages on this list commenting that, when someone 
wants to reply directly to the sender of a specific e-mail message, they can’t 
find that person’s address.  Here’s a somewhat clumsy “work around."


First, reply to the message in question.

Then, locate the “Originator Line” and you should find that the e-mail address 
of the person sending the message to which you wish to reply is listed.  Copy 
that direct e-mail address, go back to the “To” field - deleting the list 
address and paste the sender’s address there instead.

NOTE: The above tip presumes a degree of proficiency with selecting, copying 
and pasting text.  If you are interested in using the tip but are uncomfortable 
with text selection feel free to contact me directly at:

RE: App waonted that provides gps sattlelite info:

[Sieghard Weitzel]

not much to explain, it’s a simple little app which uses the GPS receiver in 
your phone to display your elevation/altitude above sea level, it will also 
display the coordinates of your current location and, if you are walking or 
driving, it will display your current speed.

If you want just information as to where you are, upcoming streets and so on 
you can use 
Blindsquare which 
costs $39.99 UUS.
You can also use Apple Maps which is on your phone already and it’s called 
“Maps” or you can download Google 
Maps
 which is also accessible, both of them are free to use.
If you want a dedicated GPS app for the blind which also lets you put in an 
address/location you have the following two options:
Nearby Explorer for 
$79.99
Seeing Eye GPS XT for 
$199.99
Seeing Eye GPS – subscription model, $9.99 for 30-day use or $69.99 for 1-year 
use

Hi Don,

I had a look and found the following two apps:

GPS Data XXL
Price: Free, offers $0.99 in-app purchase to remove ads
However, I downloaded this app since it was free and while it displays 
elevation, speed and coordinates in a nice way which Voiceover reads well I 
don’t see anything about number of satellites and strength even though the 
description mentions this, I have to get one o fmy sighted employees to take a 
look tomorrow to see if the information is there but not accessible to 
Voiceover.
I might keep this app, though, I can ask SIRI about my elevation and such, but 
I think this one works without data and it’s nice to have access to this in an 
uncluttered format and speed is also nice when you are in a car or train, have 
to try it next time I fly to see if it works on the plane, often these apps 
don’t work at very high altitudes and speeds.

Here is another one which costs a few bucks, but I didn’t buy it, it gets good 
ratings, though, just not sure about accessibility:
GPS Diagnostic: Satellite 
Test
Price: $2.99, offers $1.99 in-app purchase for “Coordinates-Pro” whatever 
exactly that is.

Hi Listers,



I am looking for an app that will report the number of sattlelites in view at 
any particular time or location.



I had one called status tool which was great, giving number of sattlelites, 
their signal strengths etc.



That app was never updated so it won't run on IOS 11.



I have downloaded apps such as gps, gps status, gps tools, etc. and none of 
them do this.



Any suggestions would be helpful.

Maybe I am wasting my time, not sure.

Hi Bill,

It is easy to find somebody's email simply by pressing Shift+Tab a few times 
when the message is open until you get to the "From" field. I did this in your 
message and after pressing Control+A and then Control+C, here is what I get if 
I paste the content of the clipboard:

where your email is not part of that address, here is an example from a message 
Donna posted:

As you can see this "From" field contains the "on behalf of" followed by the 
person's email address. I don't know what those of you where the address 
doesn't show up do differently, but even if you reply to the email the address 
is simply not there, here is the header when I press Control+R to reply to your

Only the Viphone email is given, if I wanted to reply directly to you I have no

the From field, put the Jaws cursor on their email, right click or press 
Shift+F10 and select copy, this will copy only their email address to the

 I’ve noticed a couple messages on this list commenting that, when someone 
wants to reply directly to the sender of a specific e-mail message, they can’t 
find that person’s address.  Here’s a somewhat clumsy “work around."


First, reply to the message in question.

Then, locate the “Originator Line” and you should find that the e-mail address 
of the person sending the message to which you wish to reply is listed.  Copy 
that direct e-mail address, go back to the “To” field - deleting the list 
address and paste the sender’s address there instead.

NOTE: The above tip presumes a degree of proficiency with selecting, copying 
and pasting text.  If you are interested in using the tip but are uncomfortable 
with text selection feel free to contact me directly at:

wfgal...@gmail.com

*No, the above address is not the one I’ve registered with on this list, but 
that address gets much less traffic and will be much more convenient for me to

2. Swipe up or down with one finger, Voiceover will say "Edit Mode" and then 
double tap, Voiceover will say "Started Editing"
3. Now swipe down again with one finger, Voiceover will say "Delete", double 
tap, Voiceover will say "Delete" followed by the app name.
4. Swipe right, Voiceover will say "Deleting this app will also delete its

RE: going through the process of unlocking a phone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Seems like you didn't read the article Zhi provided the link for, the person 
who wrote it said he already had a line with them and put in the SIM into the 
unlocked iPhone 5S he wanted to add and it worked, but still at the store they 
told him they couldn't do it. Maybe at a different store it would be different, 
but there are probably other good deals out there and my attitude here would be 
that if they don't want my business and monthly payment possibly for years to 
come then I go elsewhere and I wold possibly go further and remove any other 
services from them if I had any.

Is the voice on that TV the same as the one on the Roku stick? We have one of 
those, and I actually found a voice almost not understandable. I’ve been using 
speech synthesizers for a long time, all the way back to dos. So it’s a great 
mystery to me why these folks who make these TV boxes accessible can’t find a 
way to give us a voice that’s really clear. Amazon wins hands-down in my 
opinion in that regard. Just like with the Roku TV, switching ports is totally 
accessible on the Amazon one, and you can also named him whatever you want, 
which I didn’t bother doing. You also have voice control of the TV, including 
turning it off and on, switching ports, launching movies or apps whatever. The 
Amazon TV is more expensive than that Roku. So if you’re satisfied with the 
voice, it sounds like it could be a good way to go. I just couldn’t get past 
the voice if it’s the same as the one on stick that we have.

Can’t read an entire DM on Twitter

[Kathy Brandt]

If someone has written a direct message beyond a certain point, it cuts off. I 
can only read the whole thing if I switch the rotor to word and flick through. 
Has anyone else noticed this?

Re: going through the process of unlocking a phone

[James English]

Hello,

One solution to this would be to get a friend or family member's
comcast sim, put it in your AT iPhone, go back to the comcast store
and show them very directly that it indeed does work absolutely
fine?
