Hello everyone,

Well I do not have this unit yeah, I looked at the link that was given for the 
US version of the app. It states that this
app uses specific features, this device does not offer. I?m not sure what in 
the world that means? I am using an iPhone S-6,
would the latest update.
Does anyone have any idea what that could mean?

Thank you,

Terri

Hello, I just finished up setting the app up. I am so glad the link was given 
for the US store. It was a breeze to set up
with my iPhone. The app works great. I will be using my phone from now on to 
scan my sensor.

Hello,
 
I too am waiting for the release of the Freestyle LibreLink app in the US App 
Store. I currently am using the
TapTapSee application to capture a image of the screen and read the bg reading 
to me. This works well enough for now
but it will be nice to have the app on the phone with the Voice Alerts active. 
This feature is used to read the
current scanned blood sugar. It will also announce the direction such as slowly 
falling, raising slowly, etc. From
what I have read on some of the Diabetes forums the app is fully accessible 
with VoiceOver and it is pretty simple to
use. Here?s to hoping!

Hello,
Right now the apps for either platform are not in the US right now. I am using 
the Libre now however. I use the
Envision AI app on my phone to read the screen of the Libre meter. It works 
quite well. Seeing AI does work but
not quite as well as Envision. The envision app does cost. It is $4.99 a month, 
$24.99 for six months or $40 a
year. There is also a one time purchase of $199 for a lifetime subscription to 
the app.

Hi, 

there is a librelink app for the freestyle Libre you would need to check if 
it's released in your country.
If it is the librelink app can be used to start and read the sensor. I'm 
currently using mine with Android
and I'm due to start a new sensor in about 5 days, so I can test the iPhone 
accessibility if you can wait
till then. 
Cheers,
Brett.

If anyone can tell me anything, I would really appreciate it.

dropbox and the mac

[Davy Cuppens]

Hi folks 

Not my problem but one of a sighted teacher educating a blind pupil  with his 
macbook air.
Dropbox is installed and folders are displayed correcdtly, but he has to learn 
to paste a folder into another dropbox folder. This is for him not possible 
using voiceover, when he copies cuts or pastes the folder into a subfolder 
where it must be done, the folder is always pasted in the main dropbox folder 
and not in the specified subfolder.
any iedeas?

Hulu

[Lynda Ingraham]

Good Morning, 

 

Could someone post an update as to how accessible Hulu is currently? We have
become quite fond of NetFlix and reading and don't watch much tv any more.
Spectrum rates are going up again here in NY. If we can get similar
programming with Hulu for what little we watch, we have no problem parting
company with Spectrum. 

 

I am wondering about search features and the labling of buttons etc. 

 

Thank you in advance,

Re: Hulu

I’ve been with them for maybe a year now; haven’t had issues, except that (like 
anyone) they don’t have absolutely everything I want (e.g., I wanted to watch 
the movie “Ice Castles,” and it wasn’t among their selections). Good luck!

Re: Air pods and multi point?

[Todd W]

It *is* easy to switch, but not nearly as seamless as devices like the
Voyager Legend.  It’s purely a matter of what you’re used to.  I used to
use a Voyager Legend and it switched flawlessly between phone and iPad.
I’m one of those who doesn’t want the bluetooth device to autoconnect to
the watch, ever, so I removed it from the bluetooth devices on the watch to
keep the watch from hijacking the connection.  I think the point to the
conversation is that Apple’s implementation of multipoint is a bit lacking.

Re: dropbox and the mac

[Anna Dresner]

Hi Davy,

There are a couple of ways of opening a folder with VoiceOver on a Mac once 
you've located it in Finder: 

1. Press Command-O.

2.Press Command-Down Arrow.

3. Press Right Arrow to expand the folder.

I prefer the first two, but occasionally they don't work, and I have to resort 
to the third.

I hope that helps.

Best,
Anna

Re: App to replace TellMeWhen?

[Wayne Merritt]

I don't think the recommendations section in the More tab of the
GoodReads app is accessible; everything else works great. I've gone
there before and VoiceOver stopped working. I had to close and reopen
the app to get VO working again. I had tracked my own books on my own
until about 2 years ago. Now I track everything via GoodReads.
Whenever I start or complete a book I immediately go to the app and
update my progress. You can also set yearly reading goals and connect
with fellow bookworms on GoodReads or through Facebook, or the social
media app of choice. It has become one of my favorite apps and holds a
spot on the main home screen of frequently used apps on my phone. They
also look at what you have read and will drop in recommendations for
other authors/books, like "You enjoyed XX and you might like this."

message sent failure bug still a problem

[Paul and Paula Jordan]

Hi all.  When I dictate a text message using Siri I almost always get a
“message sent failure” prompt.  I don’t have this problem when I type in a
text message either using the onscreen keyboard or MBraille.  Is anyone else
noticing this?  Is there a fix?  I’m running IOS 12.01 on an IPhone 7.
Thanks in advance for your input.

God bless!

Re: Hulu

[Candy Lowe]

Linda, i have had accessibility problems with hulu on and off.  Basically, 
right now, it is pretty accessible, but, about 6 months ago, it wasn't.  All of 
that being said, I was able to use with the tv app.  In other words, you would 
search for a program on the tv app, then if it was available in hulu, you were 
able to access it through the tv appe.  If you are not familiar with the TV 
app, it is built into your phone. I will be glad to help you in any way off 
list. Just let me know if you have anymore questions. It is definitely usable. 
I never watched TV on my television, I only stream programs online. We still 
have cable because my sided husband likes it, but I totally used streaming 
services.

RE: message sent failure bug still a problem

[Mr. Ed]

Hi,

I believe you are having this issue when you are trying to send a text message 
using Siri to a person who has an Android phone. I found this same issue 
happening when I use Siri to send a text message to my son who has an Android 
pone. If you have an email text that you have tried to send to him in the text 
message field and try and send another message using Siri it will send the 
second one. If you clear out all your text messages and then try sending with 
Siri again it will not send it. But if you send a text message bye the messages 
app it will send just fine. I believe this is an issue with the new IOS 12 
using Siri to send text messages to an Android device as it is trying to send 
it using iMessage instead of SMS.

I have another person try this on her iPhone 7 and it did the same thing. It 
would not send them using Siri to another person who has an Android.

Mr. Ed

Hi all.  When I dictate a text message using Siri I almost always get a 
“message sent failure” prompt.  I don’t have this problem when I type in a text 
message either using the onscreen keyboard or MBraille.  Is anyone else 
noticing this?  Is there a fix?  I’m running IOS 12.01 on an IPhone 7. Thanks

In Settings, Messages, does it say: Send as SMS on?
Below that it explains that SMS is used when iMessage is not available. Since 
Androids cannot receive iMessages this has to be on.
If it is, and still does work, I'd call Apple Accessibility.

Thanks for that one. So far, I have been able to send and receive messages with 
my cousin on her Samsung, sent my son one, assume that he got it - was a 
message that did not require response, in a group text. I did turn on SMS 
though.

In Settings, Messages, does it say: Send as SMS on?
Below that it explains that SMS is used when iMessage is not available. Since 
Androids cannot receive iMessages this has to be on.
If it is, and still does work, I'd call Apple Accessibility.

Hi,

I believe you are having this issue when you are trying to send a text 
message using Siri to a person who has an Android phone. I found this same 
issue happening when I use Siri to send a text message to my son who has an 
Android pone. If you have an email text that you have tried to send to him in 
the text message field and try and send another message using Siri it will send 
the second one. If you clear out all your text messages and then try sending 
with Siri again it will not send it. But if you send a text message bye the 
messages app it will send just fine. I believe this is an issue with the new 
IOS 12 using Siri to send text messages to an Android device as it is trying to 
send it using iMessage instead of SMS.

I have another person try this on her iPhone 7 and it did the same 
thing. It would not send them using Siri to another person who has an Android.

Mr. Ed

Hi all.  When I dictate a text message using Siri I almost always get a 
“message sent failure” prompt.  I don’t have this problem when I type in a text 
message either using the onscreen keyboard or MBraille.  Is anyone else 
noticing this?  Is there a fix?  I’m running IOS 12.01 on an IPhone 7. Thanks 
in advance for your input.

God bless!

I have never had one to fail and have sent to Android and flip phones, but I 
did turn on SMS. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

Richard, I have turned on the SMS setting and continue to occasionally have 
this problem. Thus far, I have not been able to find a common thread for the 
failed messages.

Yes, I use Siri for my messages. It's so easy that way.

Thanks for that one. So far, I have been able to send and receive messages with 
my cousin on her Samsung, sent my son one, assume that he got it - was a 
message that did not require response, in a group text. I did turn on SMS 
though.
