RE: A Charging Pad for iPhone 8 Plus

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hey Mark, I'm sure glad this charging pad isn't even nicer, next thing I read 
the headline about the blind guy who took his wireless charging pad to Vegas to 
get married to it *smile*.
But it is good to know that not all wireless charging pads are made equal and 
that sometimes paying a bit more does get you a better product.
In a year or two when I finally part with my trusty 6S Plus I'll make sure to 
buy a good one since I fully intend to do what Marc Spagnuolo from the 
Woodwhisperer Podcast did which is to use a router to make a resessed area the 
size of the charging pad underneath the desktop and install it in there with a 
few dobs of hot glue. Using the trial and error method he found out that he 
could leave about 3/16 of an inch (4.5 to 5mm) of wood and his iPhone still 
charged if he put it on top of the desk above the charging pad. He first tried 
a quarter inch (6mm) and it wouldn't work and he said leaving only 1/8 inch 
(3mm) may cause the area to be toothin so that 4 to 5mm thickness seemed to 
work although I think he said for this to work the phone couldn't also be in a 
case. But of course in a year or two this technology may have become good 
enough to work at slightly larger distances.

Subject: A Charging Pad for iPhone 8 Plus

Hello All,

I went to the Apple Store with a friend today and decided to purchase the
special edition Belkin charging pad for my beloved 8 Plus.  It was $20 more
than the original model but well worth it as I do not have to pay any
special attention to where I place my phone.  I just lay it on the pad and
it begins charging.  Nice.

Even better, the pad is rated at 7.5 watts, as opposed to the standard 5
watt adapter that ships with the phone.  So, in addition to the added
convenience, the phone recharges faster on the pad than it would were I to
use the original A/C adapter that shipped with 8 Plus.  Very nice, indeed.

I have my 8 Plus in a leather Case Mate folio case with 4-card slots and a
sleeve.   It basically look just like a wallet with four slots for credit
cards, photo identification, paper money, etc.  

As the case does not impede the charger, there is no need to remove the
phone from the case when placing it on the pad; even nicer, still.

Very, very nice, (smile).

Mark

RE: Overcast and admitting a partial error

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I have it set to delete after it’s played and as soon as I finish a Podcast 
it’s gone off my phone.
If I “delete” an unplayed episode it just removes it from the list, but I agree 
with Richard that I don’t think it downloads a Podcast if you are streaming it, 
this wouldn’t be called streaming.
Anyways, it would be easy to try this out, just start playing a relatively 
short episode from Applevis, stop it after 10 or so seconds and wait a bit 
longer, if it is just a 6 or 8 minute Quicktip Podcast it shouldn’t take more 
than 20 or 30 seconds to download, but I guess you could always wait a minute 
or two. Then put your iPhone in Airplane mode and try to play it, if it indeed 
downloaded it would play otherwise it won’t.

Other than I’m not downloading, I’m set to stream.
So I think it just gets the time once the podcast begins playing.
Of course, I could be completely wrong here, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t 
download if it is not told to do so.

RE: Most accessible podcast app?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I didn’t even know there was a $9.99 annual subscription option for Overcast 
and certainly as a Voiceover user I never saw an ad.
Here is the information from the Downcast page on the canadian App Store, take 
off about 30% for US prices, e.g. the $3.99 purchase price is probably $2.99 US:

RE: [EXTERNAL] Mark on Apple's Instant Hotspot Feature

[M. Taylor]

Hello Keith,

There is really nothing for me to share as each wireless provider offers its 
own menu of service options based on how fast, how much data, and how many 
lines one wishes to select.  

I know some people who are paying as little as $60 per month for unlimited 
talk. Text, and data, including mobile tethering with only one line in service. 

Do some shopping around and ask others in your very local area which wireless 
provider they prefer.  For example, Verizon Wireless may work better in one 
area while A T & T may work better in another.  

I have a friend who was a long time A T & T Wireless subscriber; then, she 
moved to a new apartment and simply could not get the signal inside her home.  
So, she switched to Verizon Wireless because, even inside her apartment, she 
gets 4 out of 4 bars of service strength.  

There is a lot of competition, out there, so do some shopping around.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Mark on Apple's Instant Hotspot Feature

Hello Everyone,  

Well, I finally upgraded my mobile data plan to include high speed mobile 
sharing data.

The first thing I did was to test out Apple's instant hotspot feature by 
sharing my cellular data connection between my beloved iPhone 8 Plus and my 
MacBook Pro; and I must say that it is most impressive.  In fact, it's so 
impressive that it almost feels like magic as everything just works.

What is instant Hotspot?

Instant Hotspot is part of Continuity, and lets you share the data connection 
from your iPhone or cellular iPad with your Mac or other device.
It's different from Personal Hotspot, which requires a password and connects 
like a standard Wi-Fi router, in that it uses your Apple ID for authentication, 
Bluetooth Low Energy (BT LE) for rapid connection, and Wi-Fi for data transfer. 
So it's much faster and more convenient, but it's really only meant for your 
Apple devices.

I didn't have to enter any passwords and the connection was faster than any 
hardwired USB tethering I've ever used.  

If you have not yet done so, give it a try.  Say what you will about Apple but 
note this in your book, when they do decide to do something unique, it's 
really, really unique.

For more information in setting up and using Instant Hotspot, go to:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204681.

Enjoy,

Mark

Hi Richard,

You would think this can be turned off or on in Settings, but I also can’t find 
it. However, if you start playing a Podcast and tap on the “Effects” button you 
can see if it is turned on there and you can turn it off if it is on or on if 
it is off.
Also, if you go to Settings and look for “SIRI Shortcuts” under the Advanced 
heading you can set up a SIRI shortcut to turn on and off Smart Speed.
There are also many other options for setting up shortcuts, you can set up one 
for example for playing, pausing, skipping and rewinding etc. I just set one up 
for playing and called it “Play Overcast”.
There are also SIRI Shortcuts you can set up for each of your Podcasts, e.g. if 
you have subscribed to Applevis you can tap on it and record a phrase like 
“Play Applevis on Overcast”.
The one reason why at one point I really tried to use the Apple Podcast app was 
because it works with SIRI, now with SIRI Shortcuts and Overcast already having 
implemented this feature there is even less reason. Now I just wish Audible 
would allow users to set up SIRI Shortcuts so I could say “Play Audible”.

Regards,
Sieghard

Re: iOS 12 tips: 7 security settings you need to check right now, USA Today

[Christopher Chaltain]

Also don't forget that if someone find a cell phone without a pass code, 
even if no sensitive data is stored on that phone, calls could be made 
from that phone, text could be sent from that phone and cellular data 
could be used from that phone. In addition to possibly running up your 
phone and data bill, the thief could


cause a lot of mayhem posing as the person who lost the cell phone. 
Security is a personal choice each person has to make, and I'm not 
criticizing anyone for not putting a pass code on their phone, but I 
just think people need to be aware of the consequences.

phone and your Apple Id and is not necessarily compromised since even if 
somebody stole your iPhone they wouldn't know your password, but if you have 
email set up on the phone you do actually have sensitive information on it 
because somebody could simply request a change of your password and often this 
involves  a link being emailed where you have to click on it to confirm so 
giving somebody access to yoru email actually represents a huge security thread 
to many of your online accounts.

I have no sensitive information stored in my phone, so security is of no
great concern to me.
I updated to 12 a week ago, but didn't touch settings.  I do get asked for
my passcode, but I,
simply, double tap on "cancel"  and the phone accepts that and just goes
about its business, as it
did when my operating system was 11.  something.

What she neglected to mention is the Setting where you can instruct your
iPhone to self-erase after
10 failed passcode attempts. I definitely turn this on since I figure that
if I can't unlock my
iPhone after 9 attempts I deserve it.

Seven iOS 12 security setting tips you should check right now
By Jennifer Jolly, Special for USA TODAY 3:00 a.m. PDT Oct. 11, 2018

Apple's latest mobile software, iOS 12, tightens up security and privacy
issues on iPhones.
To get the most out of the updates though, you might have to tweak a
setting
or two.
Here's how to take full advantage of the latest bug fixes and make sure
you're keeping your device as safe as you can from hackers and prying
eyes.

Take advantage of stronger passcodes
Apple didn't change the default lock screen from a four-digit code to
six-digit one just to mess with you. The longer your device passcode is,
the
harder it is to hack. Hackers often use software to cycle through every
possible passcode combination - known as a brute-force attack - and since
a
four-digit passcode has just 10,000 possible combinations, it doesn't take
long for a computer to break right in!
If you're still using a six-digit or, heaven forbid, a four-digit
passcode,
it's time to upgrade to something better. You can make passcodes as long
as
you want, and you can set it to use numbers and letters or numbers only. I
prefer numerical only because then I don't have to mess with the keyboard,
but go with whatever works for you. Just know that if you're still using
11 or 123456 - you're begging to get hacked.
Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and enter your current passcode.
Then,
go to Change Passcode and, from the Passcode Options and set a Custom
Numeric Code.

Use automated two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to all your
logins
by asking new devices to confirm that they're legit. After you log in to
an
app or site with two-factor enabled you'll get a text message to your
phone
number with a verification code, ensuring you're the only one who can
access
the account.
Apple has two-factor support baked right into iOS 12, and it's so
incredibly
easy to use that it auto-fills the codes for you - so you don't even have
to
type them in.

Neither one. I think Downcast is $3.00 whereas Overcast changed to a  
subscription based model. 

I’m not entirely sure as I paid for these years ago. I sometimes will tip the 
Downcast guy just because and since I like the app and want to see it continue 
to be supported.

in terms of customizations in Overcast, but one thing it has which Downcast 
doesn’t have is this Smart Speed option which really does work and makes a 
difference. I don’t listen to Podcasts that much, but Overcast displays at the 
bottom of Settings how much time you saved with that feature and I just saw for 
me it is 94 minutes.

Hi Richard,

You would think this can be turned off or on in Settings, but I also can’t find 
it. However, if you start playing a Podcast and tap on the “Effects” button you 
can see if it is turned on there and you can turn it off if it is on or on if 
it is off.
Also, if you go to Settings and look for “SIRI Shortcuts” under the Advanced 
heading you can set up a SIRI shortcut to turn on and off Smart Speed.
There are also many other options for setting up shortcuts, you can set up one 
for example for playing, pausing, skipping and rewinding etc. I just set one up 
for playing and called it “Play Overcast”.
There are also SIRI Shortcuts you can set up for each of your Podcasts, e.g. if 
you have subscribed to Applevis you can tap on it and record a phrase like 
“Play Applevis on Overcast”.
The one reason why at one point I really tried to use the Apple Podcast app was 
because it works with SIRI, now with SIRI Shortcuts and Overcast already having 
implemented this feature there is even less reason. Now I just wish Audible 
would allow users to set up SIRI Shortcuts so I could say “Play Audible”.

Regards,
Sieghard

Re: Most accessible podcast app?

[Gerardo Corripio]

Which ones of these, Downcast or Overcast is free? I don’t have balance in my 
Itunes account so as to buy as of now. The native podcast app is OK, but it 
wouldn’t hurt to try out another alternative just in case, especially because 
on the iOS native podcast app, I can’t figure out how to unsubscribe myself 
from podcasts!

RE: how to move an app in apple iphone 6se

[Richard Turner]

First, the iPhone SE is just called iPhone SE, no number in the name.

If you are using iOS 11.4.1 or 12.x when you flick up or down on an app, you 
should hear "edit mode."
Double tap.
Then, flick down until you hear "drag item."
Double tap.
Then, find the place you want to move the app.  If you want it next to another 
app on another page, then go to that page and touch the app you want to move it 
next to, or, if you want to create a folder with another app, find that app and 
touch it.
Then, flick down and listen to your options, you should hear things like, add 
to drag session, drop before, drop after, or create folder with 
When you hear the option you want, double tap.
Hit the home button to stop editing, or pick that option from the flicking up 
and down options.

HTH,
Richard

I doubt that Apple is still signing IOS 11 versions. So the easiest thing for 
you to do is to go to settings and general and profiles. 
Delete the IOS beta software profile and wait for IOS 12.1 to come out which 
should bee pretty soon. I think they're on IOS 12.1 beta 3 now. So early to mid 
November I would think is when IOS 12.1 would probably drop.

First, I have to admit to being wrong about one thing in Overcast, you cannot 
get the time of an episode until you have started to play it, but you do not 
have to download it.
Now, on to your question about iOS 12.  It is the best and most stable release 
yet from Apple, but I cannot answer your question about whether you will be in 
trouble since I do not know what version you are currently using.  If you are 
using iOS 11.4.1 then all indications are you will be fine and will not lose 
any functionality.
I cannot speak to earlier versions that might let you use apps that are still 
32 bit, since those will not run any longer.

RE: [EXTERNAL] Mark on Apple's Instant Hotspot Feature

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

Thanks for this. Can you share about how much of a premium you need to pay for 
the upgrade to a mobile data plan?

Thanks, Keith

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Mark on Apple's Instant Hotspot Feature

Hello Everyone,  

Well, I finally upgraded my mobile data plan to include high speed mobile
sharing data.

The first thing I did was to test out Apple's instant hotspot feature by
sharing my cellular data connection between my beloved iPhone 8 Plus and my
MacBook Pro; and I must say that it is most impressive.  In fact, it's so
impressive that it almost feels like magic as everything just works.

What is instant Hotspot?

Instant Hotspot is part of Continuity, and lets you share the data
connection from your iPhone or cellular iPad with your Mac or other device.
It's different from Personal Hotspot, which requires a password and connects
like a standard Wi-Fi router, in that it uses your Apple ID for
authentication, Bluetooth Low Energy (BT LE) for rapid connection, and Wi-Fi
for data transfer. So it's much faster and more convenient, but it's really
only meant for your Apple devices.

I didn't have to enter any passwords and the connection was faster than any
hardwired USB tethering I've ever used.  

If you have not yet done so, give it a try.  Say what you will about Apple
but note this in your book, when they do decide to do something unique, it's
really, really unique.

For more information in setting up and using Instant Hotspot, go to:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204681.

Enjoy,

Mark

RE: IOs 12?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

OK, I assume that people who have Overcast and who have not upgraded to iOS 12 
can use it and maybe even re-download it from their list of installed apps but 
that any completely new installs then do require it. This is interesting.

Sieghard, I was surprised to see him say he had to have iOS 12, but it does now 
say in the app store that iOS 12 is required.
It could be because of the Siri shortcuts that if you had not already installed 
it, you cannot now without iOS 12.  Seems odd, but that is my best guess.

First, I have to admit to being wrong about one thing in Overcast, you cannot 
get the time of an episode until you have started to play it, but you do not 
have to download it.
Now, on to your question about iOS 12.  It is the best and most stable release 
yet from Apple, but I cannot answer your question about whether you will be in 
trouble since I do not know what version you are currently using.  If you are 
using iOS 11.4.1 then all indications are you will be fine and will not lose 
any functionality.
I cannot speak to earlier versions that might let you use apps that are still 
32 bit, since those will not run any longer.

RE: Most accessible podcast app?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If anybody else want to write the developer of Overcast to request that the 
episode length is spoken if you have it set to stream only, here is the direct 
email for feedback:
feedb...@overcast.fm
I just sent the following message:

Hello,

I am a Voiceover user and have had my first iOS device in 2009 when Voiceover 
was first introduced. In those days I started out with the iCatcher Podcast 
app, then I used Downcast for a while and while I tried Apple’s Podcast app, I 
have now been using Overcast for many years. I know that a lot of other blind 
and visually impaired users also really like your app and I’d like to thank you 
for making it so wonderfully accessible.

However, just today the discussion about Podcast apps came up on the Google 
list “Viphone” where about 2,000 blind and visually impaired users of iOS 
devices discuss iOS, Apple hardwear, accessories and of course apps. One list 
member pointed out he preferred Downcast because it allowed for more 
customization options between global and per-Podcast settings and also that if 
you chose to stream your Podcasts that the length of the Podcast was announced 
by Voiceover.
I noticed that with Overcast you either have to download the Podcast to hear 
the length or you have to start streaming it before you can see how long it is.
If the length of the Podcast can be displayed by Downcast I assume this 
information is available and it would be great if this could be changed in a 
future update so that along with “streamable” Voiceover would also announce the 
length.


Best regards,
Sieghard

You are correct, I just tried this with Jonathan Mosen’s part 2 about his smart

I must admit though that this information if it is available for Downcast would 
be nice to also have included in Overcast.
Especially Applevis Podcasts can be anywhere from a few minutes long to an hour 
and being able to see this information right there in the listing is nice.

Hi all,

I use both Overcast and Downcast, but personally I have a slight preference for 
Downcast. I love the Overcast effects which have been discussed earlier in this 
thread, but with Downcast I really like being able to see the length of each 
episode before I start to play it. I am subscribed to far too many podcasts, 
some in each app, and I would love to know how to check the episode length in 
Overcast in order to make maximum use of time. I freely admit that my 
preference for Downcast may have a lot to do with familiarity. I like to be 
able to stream some podcast feeds and download others, and at the moment I

RE: IOs 12?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

As Richard said, if you use iOS 11 now you should absolutely download iOS 12, 
it was better on release day than iOS 11 after all the updates it had.
Having said that, it makes no sense whatsoever that you need iOS 12 to use 
Overcast, in fact, there is no way that is required since many people have used 
and use it who are not yet on iOS 12.
Is it possible that it said you need iOS 12 for certain features to work? That 
I could understand because Overcast has support for SIRI shortcuts and that is 
a feature only available in iOS 12.

Sieghard

First, I have to admit to being wrong about one thing in Overcast, you cannot 
get the time of an episode until you have started to play it, but you do not 
have to download it.
Now, on to your question about iOS 12.  It is the best and most stable release 
yet from Apple, but I cannot answer your question about whether you will be in 
trouble since I do not know what version you are currently using.  If you are 
using iOS 11.4.1 then all indications are you will be fine and will not lose 
any functionality.
I cannot speak to earlier versions that might let you use apps that are still 
32 bit, since those will not run any longer.

Overcast and admitting a partial error

[Richard Turner]

I decided to start a new thread about Overcast.
You absolutely do not have to download an episode before hearing the time, but 
you do have to at least start the stream, however briefly.  Then, the time will 
show up as mentioned before.

Re: Most accessible podcast app?

[Richard Turner]

Well, here is an example from Overcast.  I have it set to stream and I've 
recently subscribed to a new podcast from the New York Times called the 
Argument.  Their first episode was last Thursday.  This is what Overcast shows 
me:
Is The Supreme Court Broken? Should Democrats Run on #MeToo?
Not downloaded. Oct 10. 31 minutes. The columnists debate if Brett Kavanaugh’s 
confirmation broke the Supreme Court.

This podcast is made up of 3 columnists, one liberal, one moderate, and one 
conservative.

Thanks, Richard and Maria, I think the reason why I'm not seeing the length of 
episodes in Overcast is because I stream them. In Downcast, you can see the 
length regardless of whether you stream or download, and I do some of each. 
Richard, am I right in assuming that you download your episodes in Overcast?

Hi all,

I use both Overcast and Downcast, but personally I have a slight preference for 
Downcast. I love the Overcast effects which have been discussed earlier in this 
thread, but with Downcast I really like being able to see the length of each 
episode before I start to play it. I am subscribed to far too many podcasts, 
some in each app, and I would love to know how to check the episode length in 
Overcast in order to make maximum use of time. I freely admit that my 
preference for Downcast may have a lot to do with familiarity. I like to be 
able to stream some podcast feeds and download others, and at the moment I 
can't remember whether this is possible in Overcast. Downcast has a lot of 
individual feed customisations, such as the number of episodes to keep, when to 
refresh the feed, etc. I think they're both great apps.

Yes but the episode has to be downloaded before it will say that. So all would 
hear is 107 the final episode in this series, Jonathan Mosen's Smart Home, 
October 8th, until I download the episode then it will say 55 minutes.

You can set to stream on Downcast as well. It shows time duration, etc.
For the longest, Overcast only went to 2X speed, which for me, was too slow. 
I'm a 3X playback person and Downcast for a while was the only app that offered 
a higher playback speed like this. I don't listen to all my podcasts at 3x, but 
it is for the majority of my podcasts and being able to crank through a daily 
podcast is appreciated.
I bugged the Overcast guy over the years about a faster playback speed and I 
guess he got tired of people like me and others asking him about it and finally 
added it.
That said and maybe it's just familiarity, but I still prefer Downcast. 
Overcast is a  simpler layout, but Downcast allows for a lot more 
customization. Be it globally or for individual feeds.
My global setting is for streaming but for the feeds where they're a series on 
History or a particular event where I may want to listen off-line or whatever. 
ICatcher was my first third party podcast app and it was fine, but I moved on 
after I discovered Downcast and since the iCatcher dev said he wasn't going to 
increase playback speed, it was bye Felicia for me. 
The native Apple podcast app really isn't all that

Re: Most accessible podcast app?

[Maria Reyes]

Yes but the episode has to be downloaded before it will say that. So all would 
hear is 107 the final episode in this series, Jonathan Mosen's Smart Home, 
October 8th, until I download the episode then it will say 55 minutes.

Re: Most accessible podcast app?

[Nicola Sanders]

Thanks, Richard and Maria, I think the reason why I'm not seeing the length of 
episodes in Overcast is because I stream them. In Downcast, you can see the 
length regardless of whether you stream or download, and I do some of each. 
Richard, am I right in assuming that you download your episodes in Overcast?

Thanks,

Nicky

RE: Most accessible podcast app?

[Richard Turner]

In Overcast, when I flick to an episode, I hear: for example, 107 the final 
episode in this series, Jonathan Mosen's Smart Home, October 8th, 55 minutes.

And with the smart speed feature, it would be less.

I don't know if Downcast just puts the time sooner, but the length of the 
podcast is listed.

Hi all,

I use both Overcast and Downcast, but personally I have a slight preference for 
Downcast. I love the Overcast effects which have been discussed earlier in this 
thread, but with Downcast I really like being able to see the length of each 
episode before I start to play it. I am subscribed to far too many podcasts, 
some in each app, and I would love to know how to check the episode length in 
Overcast in order to make maximum use of time. I freely admit that my 
preference for Downcast may have a lot to do with familiarity. I like to be 
able to stream some podcast feeds and download others, and at the moment I 
can't remember whether this is possible in Overcast. Downcast has a lot of 
individual feed customisations, such as the number of episodes to keep, when to 
refresh the feed, etc. I think they're both great apps.

Best

Hi Nicola, 
You have to download the episode first before you can see how long the episode 
is. At least that’s the only way I know of.

RE: Deleting podcasts from podcast app

This is another good example of why I like the Overcast app better as it is 
easier to delete episodes.
You find the episode you want to delete and flick up once to delete, just like 
in Emails and then double tap.

What tab are you in? Episodes aren’t grouped together unless you are in the 
listen now tab. Go to your library then downloaded and find the episode you 
want to delete and swipe down until you hear more then double tap. You will now 
see a page that lists that episode’s show notes. Find the button that says play 
and the length of the episode and swipe down to more. Now you want to find the 
remove button in the options you have and double tap. When you open it you 
should see remove download and remove from library. You can do either one. Keep 
in mind if you remove the download first you will have to do the steps above 
again and hit the delete from library button.

RE: Fantastical and events

[Richard Turner]

OK,
If you slowly slide your finger down the screen just a little way in from the 
left, you should hear things like Sunday, October 7, Sunday October 14, etc.
When you get about half way down the screen, you should hear something like 
Tomorrow October 15th, 2018.
You will now be in the reminders section of the screen.
The reminder section will change depending on which date is selected in the top 
half of the screen when the days of the week are listed.

I’m not sure I can describe it much better than that, but if that doesn’t work, 
try asking again.
I assume you do not have sighted assistance around to help describe the screen 
layout?

Richard

Re: Deleting podcasts from podcast app

[Maria Reyes]

What tab are you in? Episodes aren’t grouped together unless you are in the 
listen now tab. Go to your library then downloaded and find the episode you 
want to delete and swipe down until you hear more then double tap. You will now 
see a page that lists that episode’s show notes. Find the button that says play 
and the length of the episode and swipe down to more. Now you want to find the 
remove button in the options you have and double tap. When you open it you 
should see remove download and remove from library. You can do either one. Keep 
in mind if you remove the download first you will have to do the steps above 
again and hit the delete from library button.

RE: Most accessible podcast app?

[Alan Lemly]

Harry,

I'm not sure either Overcast or Downcast is more accessible than the other but 
I much prefer the user interface of Overcast and it is very accessible.

Re: Fantastical and events

[Richard Turner]

When you touch near the top, does it say "day ticker?" If so, swipe down with 
three fingers and it should switch to giving the month, and then you will have 
it laid out like a print wall calendar with Sunday through Saturday across from 
left to right, and the days then also from left to right, and the lower have 
will be the "reminders" which is anything you have on your calendar or as 
reminders.
I hope that makes sense.

RE: Most accessible podcast app?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Yes, absolutely, I think while iCatcher is accessible, most people use Overcast 
or Downcast and I think more use Overcast. Not sure what Larry found is lacking 
in terms of customizations in Overcast, but one thing it has which Downcast 
doesn’t have is this Smart Speed option which really does work and makes a 
difference. I don’t listen to Podcasts that much, but Overcast displays at the 
bottom of Settings how much time you saved with that feature and I just saw for 
me it is 94 minutes.

Hi Richard,

You would think this can be turned off or on in Settings, but I also can’t find 
it. However, if you start playing a Podcast and tap on the “Effects” button you 
can see if it is turned on there and you can turn it off if it is on or on if 
it is off.
Also, if you go to Settings and look for “SIRI Shortcuts” under the Advanced 
heading you can set up a SIRI shortcut to turn on and off Smart Speed.
There are also many other options for setting up shortcuts, you can set up one 
for example for playing, pausing, skipping and rewinding etc. I just set one up 
for playing and called it “Play Overcast”.
There are also SIRI Shortcuts you can set up for each of your Podcasts, e.g. if 
you have subscribed to Applevis you can tap on it and record a phrase like 
“Play Applevis on Overcast”.
The one reason why at one point I really tried to use the Apple Podcast app was 
because it works with SIRI, now with SIRI Shortcuts and Overcast already having 
implemented this feature there is even less reason. Now I just wish Audible 
would allow users to set up SIRI Shortcuts so I could say “Play Audible”.

Regards,
Sieghard

Re: Drop box

[Richard Turner]

As I recall, you cannot open a dropbox file unless you have a dropbox account, 
or at the very least, the Dropbox app.
I've never not had a dropbox account during the time I've had an Apple device, 
so maybe I do not know what I'm talking about.
But I do know, that with the Voice Dream apps, you have to be logged into 
Dropbox to activate access.

Hi Richard,

You would think this can be turned off or on in Settings, but I also can’t find 
it. However, if you start playing a Podcast and tap on the “Effects” button you 
can see if it is turned on there and you can turn it off if it is on or on if 
it is off.
Also, if you go to Settings and look for “SIRI Shortcuts” under the Advanced 
heading you can set up a SIRI shortcut to turn on and off Smart Speed.
There are also many other options for setting up shortcuts, you can set up one 
for example for playing, pausing, skipping and rewinding etc. I just set one up 
for playing and called it “Play Overcast”.
There are also SIRI Shortcuts you can set up for each of your Podcasts, e.g. if 
you have subscribed to Applevis you can tap on it and record a phrase like 
“Play Applevis on Overcast”.
The one reason why at one point I really tried to use the Apple Podcast app was 
because it works with SIRI, now with SIRI Shortcuts and Overcast already having 
implemented this feature there is even less reason. Now I just wish Audible 
would allow users to set up SIRI Shortcuts so I could say “Play Audible”.

Regards,
Sieghard

Drop box

[Deidre Muccio]

Hello all
I have a dropbox file I cannot open because I do not have the dropbox app. 
Seems to me are used to be able to do that through voice dream reader but 
that's not kicking into gear even if I have voice stream open in the dropbox 
Drive turned on. What is the difference between bringing a file in through 
voice dream reader and using the dropbox app?

RE: Some blindness aps and games devs, disappoint in their attitudes towards

[Richard Turner]

Sieghard,
I wish I could remember the features of the Simbian system, but I only had 
access to it at work to demonstrate and train clients.  I think it had more 
navigation options and I want to say it could handle two pages of a book 
better, but I honestly can not remember.  I know it had currency identification 
which was very nice not having to use the flatbed scanner to do that.  Of 
course, the flatbed systems had to stop providing that service, but now we have 
several choices for that feature on the Apple devices.

We made it to Maui in 1992 for our honeymoon and stayed at the Royal Lahaina 
Resort on Ka'anapali beach.

Hi Richard,

You know and remember more about KNFB Reader for Simbian but I thought I did 
remember that $1,500 correctly because when I once considered it here in Canada 
at the time it was well over $2,000 canadian. Just out of curiocity, what 
features did the Simbian version have which the iOS version doesn’t have?
By the way, I do agree that developers like KNFB Reader or Sendero shouldn’t 
get too many breaks when it comes to the quality of the product they offer. 
Just because they may have been first at something doesn’t mean they can now 
rest on their Laurels and expect unwavering support for a product that doesn’t 
keep up with the times.
I was even earlier to the OCR game than you, I had my first HP Scanjet with 
Arkenstone in 1989 and it was still the DOS software at that time While I never 
jumped on the mobile OCR game until the iPhone, I did spend my share of money 
for expensive blindness solutions here are a few I had:

The ”eureka” notetaker back in 1989, $3,500 canadian at the time
The Trekker Maestro I think it was 2006 or 2007, $2,00 or $2,500 canadian
A Windows 5.1 smartphone with Mobile Speak and, after I sold my Maestro, 
MobileGeo, I think it was around $300 for MobileSpeak and $900 for MobileGeo, 
that was around 2008
I bought MobileGeo from good old Aman Singer from Toronto who was a Code 
Factory reseller and from whom I haven’t heard in years either on this list or 
otherwise.
And of course I had a VictorReader Stream and a Booksense, I bought the 
Booksense in 2009 not long before I found out I could buy an iPhone 3GS or iPod 
Touch third generation with Voiceover.
I decided to try an iPod Touch first before I commited to an iPhone and bought 
one in September of 2009, shortly after I sold my Booksense and VictorReader 
Stream.
Once I bought an iPhone 4 in 2010 I also sold the iPod Touch Third Gen and was 
able to still sell my Windows Smartphone at the time with MobileSpeak and 
MobileGeo and get a bit of money for it, can’t remember, but I think I sold it 
for around $700 in total.
Ever since 2010 I only spend money on iPhones and of course apps although even 
given the $100 I spend on KNFB Reader (I think at the time I managed to snag 
some 20% iTunes Gift Cards so I also paid less for it) what I spend on apps 
over the last 9 years is probably not that much compared to the costs of some 
of the above mentioned devices.
But I must say that it was fantastic when I went to Maui in 2008 and I had my 
Trekker Maestro and I was able to walk over a mile through Lahaina from the 
dive shop where I did my scuba certificate all the way to a photo store where 
the owner was also a diver and had taken a bunch of underwater pictures for me 
and burned them onto a Cd. I had my dog with me, but if I recall I never had to 
ask a single person for directions.

Sieghard

I've been using specialized OCR products for the blind since the mid 1990s 
starting with the Arkenstone system in 1995.
In the begining, it was a hybrid of MS-DOS and Windows 3.1.
I won't bore you with all of the versions, but the flatbed scanner in the early 
days was several hundred dollars, plus the $1000 or so for the sofware.
The first version of KNFB Reader that was made portable included two devices, 
an HP PDA and a digital camera strapped together so there were 2 batteries to 
keep charged and the cost was about $3,500.
The first Simbian version on a cell phone was just over $1500.
By the time the iPhone version came along, the simbian system was all but dead 
and a while before the simbian system went away, the Nokia phone/KNFB Reader 
combo had dropped in price to somewhere around $500 or $600.
So, when the $100 iPhone version was

RE: Some blindness aps and games devs, disappoint in their attitudes towards

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Richard,

You know and remember more about KNFB Reader for Simbian but I thought I did 
remember that $1,500 correctly because when I once considered it here in Canada 
at the time it was well over $2,000 canadian. Just out of curiocity, what 
features did the Simbian version have which the iOS version doesn’t have?
By the way, I do agree that developers like KNFB Reader or Sendero shouldn’t 
get too many breaks when it comes to the quality of the product they offer. 
Just because they may have been first at something doesn’t mean they can now 
rest on their Laurels and expect unwavering support for a product that doesn’t 
keep up with the times.
I was even earlier to the OCR game than you, I had my first HP Scanjet with 
Arkenstone in 1989 and it was still the DOS software at that time While I never 
jumped on the mobile OCR game until the iPhone, I did spend my share of money 
for expensive blindness solutions here are a few I had:

The ”eureka” notetaker back in 1989, $3,500 canadian at the time
The Trekker Maestro I think it was 2006 or 2007, $2,00 or $2,500 canadian
A Windows 5.1 smartphone with Mobile Speak and, after I sold my Maestro, 
MobileGeo, I think it was around $300 for MobileSpeak and $900 for MobileGeo, 
that was around 2008
I bought MobileGeo from good old Aman Singer from Toronto who was a Code 
Factory reseller and from whom I haven’t heard in years either on this list or 
otherwise.
And of course I had a VictorReader Stream and a Booksense, I bought the 
Booksense in 2009 not long before I found out I could buy an iPhone 3GS or iPod 
Touch third generation with Voiceover.
I decided to try an iPod Touch first before I commited to an iPhone and bought 
one in September of 2009, shortly after I sold my Booksense and VictorReader 
Stream.
Once I bought an iPhone 4 in 2010 I also sold the iPod Touch Third Gen and was 
able to still sell my Windows Smartphone at the time with MobileSpeak and 
MobileGeo and get a bit of money for it, can’t remember, but I think I sold it 
for around $700 in total.
Ever since 2010 I only spend money on iPhones and of course apps although even 
given the $100 I spend on KNFB Reader (I think at the time I managed to snag 
some 20% iTunes Gift Cards so I also paid less for it) what I spend on apps 
over the last 9 years is probably not that much compared to the costs of some 
of the above mentioned devices.
But I must say that it was fantastic when I went to Maui in 2008 and I had my 
Trekker Maestro and I was able to walk over a mile through Lahaina from the 
dive shop where I did my scuba certificate all the way to a photo store where 
the owner was also a diver and had taken a bunch of underwater pictures for me 
and burned them onto a Cd. I had my dog with me, but if I recall I never had to 
ask a single person for directions.

Sieghard

I've been using specialized OCR products for the blind since the mid 1990s 
starting with the Arkenstone system in 1995.
In the begining, it was a hybrid of MS-DOS and Windows 3.1.
I won't bore you with all of the versions, but the flatbed scanner in the early 
days was several hundred dollars, plus the $1000 or so for the sofware.
The first version of KNFB Reader that was made portable included two devices, 
an HP PDA and a digital camera strapped together so there were 2 batteries to 
keep charged and the cost was about $3,500.
The first Simbian version on a cell phone was just over $1500.
By the time the iPhone version came along, the simbian system was all but dead 
and a while before the simbian system went away, the Nokia phone/KNFB Reader 
combo had dropped in price to somewhere around $500 or $600.
So, when the $100 iPhone version was quite exciting, though the $10 Prizmo app 
was quite good if way more tedious to use.
I waited until KNFB Reader was on sale for $49.99 to buy it myself, though I 
still thought that was rather high for what it did since it did not have all 
the features the simbian version had.
I still find the fact that Prizmo Go for free offers format retention and The 
full Prizmo at $10 offers document saving also with format retention to put 
KNFB Reader to shame.
Yes, the Prizmo products are rather tedious to use, so I do not use them that 
much, but it isn't just Microsoft with their massive resources who are out 
performing KNFB.
The fact that KNFB is so unresponsive to customer feedback and that they have 
gone backwards in their usability, no matter what their previous performance 
was like, puts them on my personal (explative remove) list.

RE: Most accessible podcast app?

[Richard Turner]

Since Sieghard kindly replied to my question that I sent to the wrongthread, 
here is his reply that was meant for this thread.
Hi Richard,

You would think this can be turned off or on in Settings, but I also can’t find 
it. However, if you start playing a Podcast and tap on the “Effects” button you 
can see if it is turned on there and you can turn it off if it is on or on if 
it is off.
Also, if you go to Settings and look for “SIRI Shortcuts” under the Advanced 
heading you can set up a SIRI shortcut to turn on and off Smart Speed.
There are also many other options for setting up shortcuts, you can set up one 
for example for playing, pausing, skipping and rewinding etc. I just set one up 
for playing and called it “Play Overcast”.
There are also SIRI Shortcuts you can set up for each of your Podcasts, e.g. if 
you have subscribed to Applevis you can tap on it and record a phrase like 
“Play Applevis on Overcast”.
The one reason why at one point I really tried to use the Apple Podcast app was 
because it works with SIRI, now with SIRI Shortcuts and Overcast already having 
implemented this feature there is even less reason. Now I just wish Audible 
would allow users to set up SIRI Shortcuts so I could say “Play Audible”.

Regards,
Sieghard

The only advantages it has over Seeing AI is that you can do multiple pages and

I suppose also that you only have to be about 12 inches or so above a document 
with KNFB Reader, and while you can manually take a picture at that height with 
Seeing AI, it won't do its automatic scan until you get about 18 inches or so 
above the page.

Seeing AI costs nothing.

Just my 37 centavos worth.

And just to remind all of you that when KNFB Reader first came out and for some 
years afterwards it was considered the best OCR app out there, a game-changer

was as user-friendly and worked as well for a blind person as KNFB Reader until 
the Seeing AI app came along. Now KNFB Reader is talked down because Microsoft, 
a multi-billion Dollar organisation has spend what probably is a few hundred 
thousand Dollars on the development of Seeing AI and they are giving it away

which doesn't suit some people and then it's a 180 degree reversal in attitudes.
