Re: Alexa iphone App

You can search in the App Store for the exact title:
Amazon Alexa
and you will see it is developed by

Hello again everyone,



I was wondering, how would I go about finding 
the Amazon Alexa App, for the iPhone?
I tried to search for it. But I don’t feel I 
am getting the results I need. Just a bit confused here.


What sorts of things can this App do?
I have a fire tablet, and a fire TV. Not an 
actual TV, but the box, that is bigger than the fire stick.


Thank you for any help or suggestions.

Terri

RE: Accessible bluetooth microwave

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

The bad thing about that connected microwave and it's not an insignificant one 
is that it's something like only 750 wats. For heating up things, passable, but 
not much beyond that. If you want a well performing microwave that you can also 
cook in or at least reheat evenly, you need at least 1000 wats. 
Wattage
Microwave wattage equals power. In general, the higher the wattage, the faster 
and more evenly your food will cook. Most microwaves sit somewhere between 
600-1,200 watts. Larger, more expensive microwaves tend to have a higher 
wattage, so this is a price and size consideration that can strongly influence 
microwave cooking performance.
https://www.cnet.com/topics/microwaves/buying-guide/
I recently bought a Panasonic model with 1250 wats which is really strong. I 
was blowing things up until I got the feel for it. It's not connected in any 
way, but has tactile buttons which is a huge help and was what I was looking 
for instead of a smooth panel. It's 2.2 cubic feet. It's a beast and takes up a 
lot of counterspace, but I have a big kitchen so that was no big deal.
Anyway, other than that Alexa microwave that recently came out, I'm not really 
aware of any sort of other connected microwaves. I do have a Bluetooth kitchen 
scale that I use all the time and I believe that the same company also has 
other connected devices, but no microwave. https://getdrop.com/appliances/
Looks like wifi connected ovens and multipurpose devices, but no microwave. I'm 
not in need of replacing my oven, but if I were looking for one, I might even 
be interested in looking into it since the iOS app is pretty accessible for the 
scale anyway. 
Good luck. 
Cristóbal

RE: Accessible bluetooth microwave

[Alan Lemly]

Ann,

Can you please post the specifics of your microwave model and does it have good 
power? I've wondered about that Amazon Basics microwave that works with Alexa 
but at $59.95 and 700W, I suspect it its power to be limited.

RE: Apple Watch Series 4, WI-FI vs Cellular

[M. Taylor]

Hello Kay,

All of the series 4 watches have WiFi.  The second model of the series also 
includes a cellular feature.  It's the same with iPads.

The cellular models cost a bit more.  

As I wrote in a previous post, one can get the cellular model but choose not to 
enable the cellular feature.

Hi Chris,

I have a series 3 cellular watch, and my battery life seems to be comparable

uses LTE when a Wi-Fi or phone connection isn't available.

need the direct link to for a new password on my apple id

[Arlene]

I'm in the process of confirming that my straight talk se is unlocked, and for 
one thing I need to change my password on the apple id that I set that phone up 
with.  I went on the apple site, but I can't find a link to do this, and I know 
it's been given here before, So if someone could sent the link to go  into my 
apple id to change my password, that would behelpful. Also if anyone has had 
experience with unlocking a straight talk phone. On december 19th, I called to 
request the unlocking, and the customer service person said that she would be 
sending an email with instructions as we understood. I never received an email, 
so we're on the phone with straight talk and I'm still waiting to get to the 
unlock department. Instead I was talking with the regular customer service. I'm 
trying to confirm fron the phone itself that it's unlocked and the regular 
customer service said it was, but I was just trying to confirm that. I finally 
got to the unlock department and the guy was saying something about putting the 
straight talk sim card from my phone into my phone to varify that it was 
unlocked but some how that wasn't making any sense so if anyone has had 
experience with unlocking a straighttalk phone that would really help right 
now. Thank you.

Using the Amazon App, and a coupon code

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello once more everyone,

This is my last message for now. I appreciate the help.

I was wondering, does anyone know how I would go about using the Amazon App, 
and somehow entering a coupon code?
I got a deal on some phone chargers. But I have to go to Amazon and enter this 
code, in order to get the deal. I don’t know how to do this. Or even if it’s 
possible.
Might I just have to break down and do this on the web?

Thank you,

Terri

Alexa iphone App

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello again everyone,



I was wondering, how would I go about finding the Amazon Alexa App, for the 
iPhone?
I tried to search for it. But I don’t feel I am getting the results I need. 
Just a bit confused here.

What sorts of things can this App do?
I have a fire tablet, and a fire TV. Not an actual TV, but the box, that is 
bigger than the fire stick.

Thank you for any help or suggestions.

Terri

RE: Using Your iPhone Without a Touchscreen

[Margret Booth]

Hi Carolyn 

Yes I do check information on my iPhone while I am talking to someone. I always 
have my headset in and go to the information that I am after e.g. my diary or 
something that someone sent me by using the usual gestures. You can hear VO 
talking in your ear as well as the person you are talking to and I usually 
explain to the person who I am talking to what I am doing and could they stop 
talking until I find what I am after.

Subject: RE: Using Your iPhone Without a Touchscreen

I'm with you, Seigard. Once you get the hang of the touch screen and realize 
that it is a touch screen, not a bang screen, it does pretty much what it says 
it will do. For me, most of it has been just learning what I really needed to 
do. For instance, I get annoyed by notifications, tried to cut them back. I was 
using the phone today, and it started about a voice mail that I was well aware 
of, and I heard it say something about tap or double tap, can't remember, but I 
did, and it shut the thing up, so that I could be in control and tend to the 
voice mail on my terms when I wanted to. 

The other day, my daughter-in-law wanted me to hear a message that she 
forwarded me. I said I did not know how to do that while in conversation with 
someone, so she asked me to hang up, check it, then call her with my opinion, 
which I did. I am sure there is a way to do that. Do any of you ever do that, 
while talking check other things on the phone, and how, please? 

Best regards,

Carolyn

RE: Using Your iPhone Without a Touchscreen

[Alan Lemly]

I'll throw in my two cents worth as well to agree with Sieghard and Richard. I 
understand if physical limitations makes an iPhone unusable but I'm skeptical 
that a device that substitutes a button interface for a touch screen one would 
be very helpful never mind the $299 USD price tag.

I agree Sieghard,

This won’t help you if you are a quadriplegic, etc.  It is a modified Bluetooth 
keyboard with 20 buttons and you have to learn their system of button 
combinations to accomplish what you want.  It does offer a micro and speaker so 
the sound is coming out of the little keyboardish device.

But, if you have some finger dexterity but not enough to use a standard 
Bluetooth keyboard, I guess there might be some uses for this.  It must be 
targeting a small market given that the price is rather high.

 

Just my two cents worth, and it didn’t cost you anything, grin.

 

Richard

 Hello Tracy,
 
 Well, the simple answer to your question is, "Yes."  
 
 You can definitely keep track of the number of steps you take on a 
 treadmill.  
 
 In fact, I do this exact same thing.  
 
 Many people on the list have their favorite third-party apps for this 
 purpose but you can use the built-in pedometer that is located inside of 
 the native Workout app.  
 
 As for notifications?  The watch can definitely give you feedback on when 
 your stated goals have been met for the day; exactly how this is 
 configured, I have not yet explored as I prefer to use a third-party app 
 called Fit Port as my primary pedometer.

RE: Using Your iPhone Without a Touchscreen

[Carolyn Arnold]

I had a tablet once that had a keyboard and also tried a Samsung Folder 2 
phone, but we couldn't keep TalkBack on, and Voice Assist wasn't on it, so we 
downloaded TalkBack. Anyway, while I thought buttons were the answer for me, 
now that I have had my SE for nearly a year, looking back, I think they were 
clumsy. That's just me. Good thing we have options. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

Subject: RE: Using Your iPhone Without a Touchscreen

I agree Sieghard,

This won’t help you if you are a quadriplegic, etc.  It is a modified Bluetooth 
keyboard with 20 buttons and you have to learn their system of button 
combinations to accomplish what you want.  It does offer a micro and speaker so 
the sound is coming out of the little keyboardish device.

But, if you have some finger dexterity but not enough to use a standard 
Bluetooth keyboard, I guess there might be some uses for this.  It must be 
targeting a small market given that the price is rather high.

 

Just my two cents worth, and it didn’t cost you anything, grin.

 

Richard

RE: Using Your iPhone Without a Touchscreen

[Carolyn Arnold]

I'm with you, Seigard. Once you get the hang of the touch screen and realize 
that it is a touch screen, not a bang screen, it does pretty much what it says 
it will do. For me, most of it has been just learning what I really needed to 
do. For instance, I get annoyed by notifications, tried to cut them back. I was 
using the phone today, and it started about a voice mail that I was well aware 
of, and I heard it say something about tap or double tap, can't remember, but I 
did, and it shut the thing up, so that I could be in control and tend to the 
voice mail on my terms when I wanted to. 

The other day, my daughter-in-law wanted me to hear a message that she 
forwarded me. I said I did not know how to do that while in conversation with 
someone, so she asked me to hang up, check it, then call her with my opinion, 
which I did. I am sure there is a way to do that. Do any of you ever do that, 
while talking check other things on the phone, and how, please? 

Best regards,

Carolyn

Re: Unable to buy anything on Amazon using iPhone

[Nicola Sanders]

Hi all,

This is a very annoying problem. I recently made a purchase using the app and I 
was only able to select the address by locating the "send to this address" 
button on the screen, turning VoiceOver off, touching the screen once at the 
exact location and immediately turning VoiceOver back on. Obghiously you have 
to be very careful when doing this, as in my case the relevant button was very 
close to the "delete this address" button, but I was lucky and it worked first 
time. Of course, I realize that this workaround is not an acceptable solution 
and I'll contact Amazon about it as well. I only mention it in case, like me, 
you're really stuck and need to get the job done without waiting for access to 
a PC.
Best
Nicky

if I don’t turn on the Brailliant first and let it come all the way up, before 
I even touch the phone, it won’t connect at all. Even after a connection is

after this happens it comes back on its own and sometimes not. On the other

Is this normal Bluetooth behavior? Is it a function of the Brailliant? Is there 
something I can do to optimize the connection with the Brailliant? I really 
prefer Braille output and input, plus the Brailliant is smaller and easier to 
take along.

Thoughts?

navigate the phone, it's a little touchier as far as connection is
concerned. First of all, if I don't turn on the Brailliant first and let it

and sometimes not. On the other hand, the Logitech can be switched on when
I'm already in the middle of something and it pretty much doesn't fail.

 

Is this normal Bluetooth behavior? Is it a function of the Brailliant? Is
there something I can do to optimize the connection with the Brailliant? I
really prefer Braille output and input, plus the Brailliant is smaller and
easier to take along.

Hi Chris,

I have a series 3 cellular watch, and my battery life seems to be comparable 
to those with Wi-Fi only watches. I think this is because the watch only 
uses LTE when a Wi-Fi or phone connection isn't available.

Best,
Anna

RE: Unable to buy anything on Amazon using iPhone

I just discovered that too.
You can do it through the web, but not through their app.
I'd suggest calling Amazon customer service for people with disabilities at: 
888-283-1678
And tell them about this and perhaps they can assist with the order.
I just had to finish an order with my computer through their web site.

Thank you. It sounds  like I need to try out the indoor walk workout app. Would 
I begin it just before I step onto the treadmill?

It’s unfortunate I need my phone as well. Once I label up my treadmill, I can 
go about this differently.

Re: Apple Watch Series 4, WI-FI vs Cellular

[Anna Dresner]

Hi Chris,

I have a series 3 cellular watch, and my battery life seems to be comparable to 
those with Wi-Fi only watches. I think this is because the watch only uses LTE 
when a Wi-Fi or phone connection isn't available.

Best,
Anna

Apple Watch Series 4, WI-FI vs Cellular

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello all,

I am looking to get an Apple Watch Series 4, my dilemma is whether to get the 
WI-FI or Cellular model.
My main question is how is the battery life with the cellular model?  I am 
thinking that the battery life with the cellular model might be less, but I do 
not know how true this might be.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Chris

RE: Using Your iPhone Without a Touchscreen

[Richard Turner]

I didn’t listen that far in the podcast, but I suspect that might be so, or it 
uses some variation on braille, but frankly, I think it is a bit silly, unless 
it does meet a specific need of someone with a particular disability, but to 
plug it as a way to use the iPhone without the touch screen is very misleading.
I can already do that with a Bluetooth keyboard or a braille device like the 
Orbit Reader 20.

I agree Sieghard,
This won’t help you if you are a quadriplegic, etc.  It is a modified Bluetooth 
keyboard with 20 buttons and you have to learn their system of button 
combinations to accomplish what you want.  It does offer a micro and speaker so 
the sound is coming out of the little keyboardish device.
But, if you have some finger dexterity but not enough to use a standard 
Bluetooth keyboard, I guess there might be some uses for this.  It must be 
targeting a small market given that the price is rather high.

Just my two cents worth, and it didn’t cost you anything, grin.

Re: How do I make the watch *not speak the time?

[Wayne Merritt]

I have a series 2 watch and keep the volume set to 30 or 40%, since
the speaker is smaller than other newer watch speakers. I typically
use the haptic feedback to find out what time it is, and use the
watch's health tracking abilities. Mark is right though that it
sometimes takes multiple taps to wake the screen and get the vibrated
time feedback. As long as we're talking about the watch, I have a free
app called Sleep Watch. If I wear my watch overnight it automatically
tracks my sleep habits and patterns. I then get a notification on the
phone the next day asking how well I slept. The Sleep Watch app has
some unlabled buttons, but I can usually open it, answer the question,
and then move on with the day.

Re: Notifications on number of steps

[Anna Dresner]

Hi,

I would try the Indoor Walk workout. You can set workouts to be open goal, tell 
you when you've been working out for a particular period of time, or tell you 
when you've burned a particular amount of calories. Maybe having your phone in 
your pocket would help get an accurate step count.

Best,
Anna

Re: Spectrum TV App

[Jim Fettgather]

I do have a DVR box, and you can get on demand from that box, but it also works 
delightfully well right from with in the app.
Thousands of programs, and they are very very easy to find and to play 
immediately, either on your phone, or through the DVR box.

Thanks for the response …  Do you still have the traditional DVR box?  Just 
wondering as if you are doing “on demand”, there isn’t normally a SAP channel 
for that .. which is another topic all together …

Hello, you are indeed correct that while watching live TV, you can switch to 
the secondary audio channel.  

I have not found a way to do this while watching a program from the DVR, nor 
have I found any fast forward controls.

I’m using the latest Spectrum app on an iPhone with IOS 12.

There is a bit of a problem with the guide.

You can easily scroll through the guide for any given channel, then tap on 
network schedule for that channel.

The programs are listed, but Voiceover does not announce the times of the day 
that programs are airing. It just simply says Time,, the name of the program, 
but then if you elect to record the program, the times are then announced 
correctly.

I like the app pretty well, but there some definite improvements that could be 
made.

Thanks.

Hello,

 

Looking at moving to Spectrum from Direct TV.  Had a couple of questions 
relating to the IPhone and IPad apps for Spectrum …

 

I know you can watch live TV with the app, and understand that you can also 
switch the secondary audio…is this correct?  Also, as far as watching recorded 
stuff from your DVR, are you able to switch the audio there .. and are you able 
to rewind and fast forward?

 

Thanks for any assistance …

Re: Notifications on number of steps

[Lois Butterfield]

If you hold onto the hand rail with the hand where your watch is, no steps will 
register.  That is the only problem.  A pedometer that you wear on your waist 
will work better on a treadmill.

Take care,
Lois
