Re: Now available, was: New Instant Pot Wifi - how did that one slip by the list?

[lenron brown]

As far as I know it is accessible. The app is a little bit of a pain
but it's new so I am sure those issues will be sorted.

Yeah, I'm really not feeling this face ID stuff. Oh well...

Hi,

When the code screen comes up, doing the home gesture usually works fine for 
me. Make sure you're holding your phone at least a foot away from your face 
when you scan.

 After a search I have learned sighted users can initiate a second scan

 Voice Over. No other finger flick seems to do the trick for that matter.
 I have asked Apple Accessibility about this, but they never answer me

 Does anyone here know if there is a way to scan again with Voice Over?

Re: Not sure if this is off-topic it does concern Apple product

[Jim Fettgather]

I have two home pods,  and I am so glad I made the purchase!
They are fantastic, they can fill an entire room with incredibly rich, 
beautiful stereo sound.
Incredible bass, they can be unbelievably  loud if you are not careful, I 
have mine at 50% and that is plenty loud!
And of course, they can make phone calls and send text messages as well, 
they are among the best purchases I have ever made.

You can move them around easily if you wish, they are great!

Subject: Not sure if this is off-topic it does concern Apple product

Hi all,
This coming Black Friday, there’s going to be a serious discount on the 
HomePod speaker from Apple at Best Buy. I am thinking about getting a pair 
of those in an effort for overall down sizing. I have currently a nice 
stereo set up, but it’s rather old, although the speakers are still 
wonderful. I’m just curious what peoples impressions are of the HomePod, 
especially as a stereo pair in a moderate sized living room, as well as how 
it works otherwise. Siri, phone calls, etc.

Well,
It’s not exactly old news. However, there have been some refinements to the

New Facebook behavior with screen readers and pictures

Hello list,

So maybe it’s been around for a bit, but I barely noticed it first on the FB
iOS app and now while browsing FB on my PC with Firefox and Chrome, but it
looks like VoiceOver and Jaws at least are reading the included text in
image postings. I know one could always add the alt text, but at least for
the few memes and pictures my friend’s and family are posting, I don’t have
to do anything special. The text is simply being read. In iOS it was kind of
a hassle since you had to first save the picture to your camera roll then
navigate to the photos app then use the Seeing AI app to recognize text only
to find out that the picture you saved was just of someone’s dog with the
word woof on it or something like that. Jaws was way more hit and miss if
you were lucky. 

Is anyone else seeing this as the saying goes or have I been in the dark and
this is simply old news?

Is there a way to adjust the volume on Air Pods or do they just work off the 
volume setting on your device?

Not sure if this is off-topic it does concern Apple product

[Mary Otten]

Hi all,
This coming Black Friday, there’s going to be a serious discount on the HomePod 
speaker from Apple at Best Buy. I am thinking about getting a pair of those in 
an effort for overall down sizing. I have currently a nice stereo set up, but 
it’s rather old, although the speakers are still wonderful. I’m just curious 
what peoples impressions are of the HomePod, especially as a stereo pair in a 
moderate sized living room, as well as how it works otherwise. Siri, phone 
calls, etc.

Re: Face ID: how to initiate second scan with Voice Over?

Hi Aleeha,

Doesn't seem to work here. When the code screen pops up, you cannot scan again 
and have to put in your code to enable face id again.

Re: Face ID: how to initiate second scan with Voice Over?

[Ronald van Rhijn]

Hi Maria,

I often have the iPhone next to me on the table when I wake it with a tap on 
the screen and then  tilt it a bit towards my face. It mostly unlocks.
Holding the phone shortly away from your face after a failed scan and then beck 
again sometimes works, but not always.

Re: Face ID: how to initiate second scan with Voice Over?

Hi Ronald, 
I hold my phone right in front of me and it will scan my face. What position do 
you hold your phone in the first time? Another way you can try scanning again 
is to move your phone away from your face, wait a second then try to scan.

Re: Face ID: how to initiate second scan with Voice Over?

[Ronald van Rhijn]

Hi Maria,

I hold the phone in different positions to scan or the scan is already 
completed when I am moving the phone. Mostly the first scan goes well, but now 
and then it doesn’t and would I like to be able to rescan without having to 
lock and unlock.
And if sighted users can do this, why we not.

Face ID: how to initiate second scan with Voice Over?

[Ronald van Rhijn]

Hi

Most of the time the Face ID works pretty well on my iPhone XS, but now and 
then it fails to recognize me. I believe since iOS 12, the times the scan tries 
is only once. After that you have to put in your code or switch it off and wake 
the iPhone again to try again.
After a search I have learned sighted users can initiate a second scan with a 
finger flick from a bottom corner upwards. This doesn’t work with Voice Over. 
No other finger flick seems to do the trick for that matter.
I have asked Apple Accessibility about this, but they never answer me 
unfortunately.
Does anyone here know if there is a way to scan again with Voice Over?

Thanks.

Ronald

RE: Siri Constantly Interrupting

[Richard Turner]

Deidre is correct.
Turn off Hey Siri and see if the problem stops.
If it does, then if you are listening to an audio book, something is triggering 
Hey Siri, which could be anything that sounds remotely like Hey Siri.
If it doesn't, then you need to deal with Apple as something is most definitely 
wrong with your phone.

there are two functions for Siri in settings. you want to turn OK Siri off or 
if you've got google loaded up turn off OK Google. Both lay in wait  in the 
background to pick up your speech at a distance as if you might want to issue a

it doesn't have any clue what you're saying which must be why the poor thing

Do you have Hey Siri enabled?
What device is it?
Which iOS version?

I've never seen this with any of my devices, or any of my client's devices.  
But knowing more about your device might help trouble shoot this.

Siri constantly interrupts me and says sorry but can't hear me; I'm not 
invoking Siri.  Short of turning Siri off, what else can I do?  It's impossible 
to complete any task.

I am interested in the answer to this, too; if it’s not accessible, I will take 
it off my Christmas list.

Hi Len, Don and others,

 

I just noticed that the new Instant Pot Smart WiFi was now in stock and 
available to ship on the Amazon Canada website and when I went to Amazon.com it 
seems that it is now also listed and available to ship.

In Canada it is $199.99 Canadian and in the US $145.35 US, at the current 
exchange rate the US and Canadian prices are pretty much right on.

Below are the links, of course since we are now only a little over a week away 
from Black Friday I will wait and hope I can score a better deal on this.

Re: new accessible swimming tracker device!

[goshawk on horseback]

it was mainly for that live directions feedback whilst in open water that I 
purchased it, as open water swimming is what I really love to do. with winter 
setting in however, I don't know when I will get a good opportunity to give it 
a good open water field test. 
not sure if it does those other bits you mentioned, as I purchased it for open 
water use, but it does seem to have some training program options, so there is 
a possibility that those may give that sort of info. it is only a possibility, 
as I think this device is purely designed to concentrate on giving specifics on 
swimming, rather than on general fitness.

  This does sound interesting, would be great if you could provide a review if 
you buy it and after you have used it for a bit.

  I'd love to know how well the open water directions work for a blind person. 
It says it would tell you, for example, to turn to 2 o'clock once you reach a 
certain spot if you pre-program a route and I'd love to know if it would give 
you ongoing corrections if you drift off-course.

  One thing I did not read about and which is nice with the Apple Watch is 
whether you get heart rate and calories used. I know the heart rate with the 
Apple Watch is not as accurate during a swim because of all the water, but 
nonetheless it's nice to get a sense.

have previously been using the apple watch as a swimming tracker, but I really 
do think this new device is going to do a much better job, with better audio 
feedback, and at a very considerably lower cost. 

  the apps for iPhone and android,  both seem to be  very accessible from the 
outset, but haven't really gone in to all there features yet. 
  there are also some good videos on the support page, which do give quite a

Re: Sending an iPhone Text Message to a Short Code Address

[Rich DeSteno]

Where do I check to see if SMS is on?  I did not find it when looking 
through Settings.

Have you checked that Send As SMS on? That is how you text to a non-iPhone 
device. My guess is that these companies are not using an iPhone. I've texted 
to such numbers with my iPhone.

new accessible swimming tracker device!

[goshawk on horseback]

have recently come across this new  device. 
am very excited about it myself, as it is specifically designed to speak to 
you, rather than be looked at, so has  audio feedback, and proper buttons. I 
have previously been using the apple watch as a swimming tracker, but I really 
do think this new device is going to do a much better job, with better audio 
feedback, and at a very considerably lower cost. 
the apps for iPhone and android,  both seem to be  very accessible from the 
outset, but haven't really gone in to all there features yet. 
there are also some good videos on the support page, which do give quite a bit 
of useful info, although as they feature sighted people doing things with the 
apps, some of there usefulness does get a bit lost. 
the link for this new device is:
