RE: Test Drive an Orbits Reader Display Anyone? I Don't think so

[Bill Outman]

That's surprising, because I know they had one at the NFB national convention 
last year, and I looked it over.  

I'm interested in one, just need to work on financing, as my funds are tight.  

One of my fellow local chapter members has one that I looked at again recently. 
 I am impressed by the crispness of the display, the fact the cells can be 
easily felt, a factor for me in attempting to read Braille.  

It could double as my Bluetooth keyboard.

Subject: Test Drive an Orbits Reader Display Anyone? I Don't think so

Hello Everyone,  

Today, I went to the exhibit hall at the 2019 CSUN Assistive Technology 
Conference here in southern California.

Among other goals, I was interested in test driving a few Braille displays for 
use with my iOS devices.

Imagine my surprise when I arrived at the A.P.H. booth and discovered that they 
had no Orbit Reader 20s on hand for visitors to explore.  While I was there, 2 
other people walked up and asked about the Orbit Reader 20 and were equally 
disappointed at the lack of a demo model.

I did, however, get a look at an entire host of other BRaile displays, from 
other companies, including the latest version of the Focus 40.  Now, that, is a 
beautiful device.

Regardless, I was sorely disappointed at not having an opportunity to test 
drive the Orbit Reader 20 Braille display.

And the beat goes on,

Mark

Re: Keyboards

[Richard Turner]

Well, I have not found one better than Flicktype; though I don't use it that 
much because I too do not want a subscription.
I use MBraille for input when not using a bluetooth keyboard.
GBoard from Google has the period and at sign on the screen; but it also has a 
search box above the keyboard rather than the numbers row even though it says 
that is an option.
Also, the settings do not speak with VoiceOver as to whether they are on or off.
So I wouldn't recommend that one.
You can try Flicktype for free and use it for somethings from within the app.
Good luck,
Richard

Re: Hearing aids locking up when streaming media or telephone

[Holly]

Hi Carolyn:

Mine are Rexton brand from Costco.  I have never had any problem with VO. 
The only problem I have is when I am using a blue tooth keyboard to type a 
text and it is sitting close to my iPhone.  Then there is a lot of static in 
the aids.  Other than that, they work perfectly for everything else...phone 
calls, TV wireless, etc..


What do they plan to do to resolve your problem?

I'm using Oticon, and my audiologist talked to the engineer at Oticon, who 
indicated that there could be conflicts with VoiceOver and Blue Tooth. I used 
it once, but could not hear as well, and the person I talked to on the phone 
said she got a lot of echo.

RE: Hearing aids locking up when streaming media or telephone

[Tony]

I have not had this happen with my Resound aids although I haven’t had much 
experience with them and the iPhone yet.

 

My previous Phonak aids never had problems with the iPhone but do have problems 
with the company’s Bluetooth transmitters locking up at times and needing to be 
powered down and back up to reconnect.  Phonak says I am the only one with this 
problems but a friend has the same problem and is being told he is the only one.

 

I am currently using one Phonak and one Resound aid.  The phonak gives me 
betterunderstanding and doesn’t have problems with the iPhone.  The Resound 
never drops out when using the computer with their Bluetooth transmitter and 
allows me to hear myself better when singing.  With this combination I can make 
notes on the computer while taking a phone call.

Harry,
Step 2 on that page is the link to get the scanner beta.
It doesn't have the name; just the code, but if you have testflight installed, 
that link will open in testflight and you can get the app.

For those who have not heard, Winston Chen, the developer of Voice Dream 
Reader, is developing an OCR app called Scanner.  It is in public beta, so 
anyone can test it and give him feedback.
If you also install the Voice Dream Reader beta, you will be able to choose 
Scanner from the Add dialog in VDR.

Here is the latest info from Testflight which you have to have installed in 
order to use the betas but it is free in the app store.
I've tested the app quite a bit in the two days I've known about it and it 
blows everything else out of the water.
There is one very annoying thing in beta 3 that I've asked him to disable, but 
if Edge Detection is on, there is a constant tone playing that is truly 
annoying.
It doesn't say below, but you can use the up volume button to capture the image.
Saving as PDF is not only fully accessible, but it retains any images in the 
document.
At this point, unless I can convince him to charge more, he is thinking of 
charging $5.00 for the app.
I think it is worth much more.

Query re what settings I ought to check having upgraded to a new IPhone

['Eleanor Roberts' via VIPhone]

Hi all 

I’m hoping someone can assist me with this. I’ve just upgraded to an IPhone 8. 
The shop transferred my sim card, and most things seem to have come across ok. 
However, I’m just after any advice as to what settings people think I 
should/it’s important to check on my new phone to make sure they’ve all 
transferred correctly?? I’m particularly interested in saving as much power as 
possible, and also in protecting my privacy. So any advice would be veery much 
appreciated. 

Secondly, how do I go about changing the name of my IPhone, both on my phone 
and my Mac?, so that I know it’s my new phone I’m dealing with? And how do I go 
about removing any old phones from my Mac? 

Thirdly, there are some apps on this phone that I definitely don’t want 
on/won’t use, and I thought that if I removed them I might save myself quite a 
bit of storage space. So how/what’s the best way of doing this? 

Finally, how do I check that text message forwarding is working correctly 
between my new phone and my IPad/Mac? 

Sorry for all the questions, but any help would be much appreciated. 

Thanks. 

Eleanor

Re: Voice Dream Scanner beta

['Wren LANGLEY' via VIPhone]

hi Richard,
When I first read your messages, somehow I missed the one that had the link 
with the scanner for the Scanner app.

I found it, downloaded it, and all is well.

Thank you for the help. We were very nice person, and always willing to help. I 
want you to know that I appreciate it.

I did go back to the App Store and it still told me the app was not available. 
I live in the United States and independence Missouri.
I am very sorry that dictation is not working well for me anymore. Siri doesn’t 
seem to work well either, and my only reason for saying that is that I want to 
let you know that it just doesn’t work. So I’m sorry for the dictation errors.

Re: Voice Dream Scanner beta

[Lelia Struve]

Hello Richard, so here is what I did and if I did something incorrect maybe you 
could let me know.  I clicked on the link and got the voice dream beta, that 
worked perfectly. Then I went into Voice Dream and clicked on add and clicked 
to turn on the scanner, it sent me to the App Store, and when I tried to 
download that Scanner app, it said it wasn’t available in my country. Do you 
know if this is not available in the US? Thanks

Well, for my money, it blows  knfbe away. And I paid too much for that app, 
which has actually kind of gotten worse recently rather than better. It imports 
PDF files, which is the only reason I have it on my phone. It seems to me the 
five dollars isn’t quite enough. I agree you can’t charge too much. But five 
dollars is like giving the thing away, and Winston isn’t Microsoft.

Re: Voice Dream Scanner beta

[Richard Turner]

Which beta did you install?
Follow the link I sent for the scanner app.
Or search for Voice Dream Scanner beta and follow the link you find that says 
something about join the beta ...
I do not recall where you live, but in the US it is readily available; but not 
in the app store yet, only through the beta program.
HTH,
Richard

Subject: Voice Dream Scanner beta

For those who have not heard, Winston Chen, the developer of Voice Dream 
Reader, is developing an OCR app called Scanner.  It is in public beta, so 
anyone can test it and give him feedback.
If you also install the Voice Dream Reader beta, you will be able to choose 
Scanner from the Add dialog in VDR.

Here is the latest info from Testflight which you have to have installed in 
order to use the betas but it is free in the app store.
I've tested the app quite a bit in the two days I've known about it and it 
blows everything else out of the water.
There is one very annoying thing in beta 3 that I've asked him to disable, but 
if Edge Detection is on, there is a constant tone playing that is truly 
annoying.
It doesn't say below, but you can use the up volume button to capture the image.
Saving as PDF is not only fully accessible, but it retains any images in the 
document.
At this point, unless I can convince him to charge more, he is thinking of 
charging $5.00 for the app.
I think it is worth much more.
Here is the info from TestFlight.

>From Testflight

Here's the high level stuff:



- State-of-the-art A.I. for OCR and text recognition: Fast and accurate, even 
in poor lighting conditions. Works entirely on device: No need for internet and 
your data stays private.



- Export scans as plain text or PDF with embedded text to another app, or save 
them on your local device, iCloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive.



- Works with Voice Dream Reader. You need to download the latest beta version 
of Voice Dream Reader, version 4.8.0. If you haven't signed up for beta, you 
can do it here:

Subject: Voice Dream Scanner beta

For those who have not heard, Winston Chen, the developer of Voice Dream 
Reader, is developing an OCR app called Scanner.  It is in public beta, so 
anyone can test it and give him feedback.
If you also install the Voice Dream Reader beta, you will be able to choose 
Scanner from the Add dialog in VDR.

Here is the latest info from Testflight which you have to have installed in 
order to use the betas but it is free in the app store.
I've tested the app quite a bit in the two days I've known about it and it 
blows everything else out of the water.
There is one very annoying thing in beta 3 that I've asked him to disable, but 
if Edge Detection is on, there is a constant tone playing that is truly 
annoying.
It doesn't say below, but you can use the up volume button to capture the image.
Saving as PDF is not only fully accessible, but it retains any images in the 
document.
At this point, unless I can convince him to charge more, he is thinking of 
charging $5.00 for the app.
I think it is worth much more.
Here is the info from TestFlight.

>From Testflight

Here's the high level stuff:



- State-of-the-art A.I. for OCR and text recognition: Fast and accurate, even 
in poor lighting conditions. Works entirely on device: No need for internet and 
your data stays private.



- Export scans as plain text or PDF with embedded text to another app, or save 
them on your local device, iCloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive.



- Works with Voice Dream Reader. You need to download the latest beta version 
of Voice Dream Reader, version 4.8.0. If you haven't signed up for beta, you 
can do it here: 
https://testflight.apple.com/join/5amQM57U.
 After downloading the latest Reader Beta, you will be able access the scanner 
directly from Reader and add scanned documents to your Reader library.



Additional Features:



- Automatic detection of document edges for stretching and cropping

- Automatic detection of document orientation

- Automatic image enhancement

- Batch mode for scanning multiple pages quickly

- Spoken words are highlighted in the text or the image

- Select text-to-speech voice and change speed

- Uses premium voices purchased in Voice Dream Reader



Beta 3:

- Auto Scan (if an page is detected and phone is held steady for 2 seconds)

- Audible tone for page detection. VoiceOver only. Should there be a way to 
disable this?

- Capture Button is now the entire video preview window

- No longer read content again after enhancing image

- Minor bug fixes



Beta 2:

- Improved orientation detection

- Added option to automatic read text after capture

- Fix crashes



Beta 1:

This new app let you scan paper documents with the camera and recognize text, 
listen using built-in text-to-speech, and save and export.



Limitations: Only languages using Latin alphabets are supported. For example, 
Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Russian, and Arabic are not supported.



As with all Voice Dream beta tests, we're interested in every kind of feedback: 
nothing is too small or too insignificant. We want nothing less than perfection.

Re: Voice Dream Scanner beta

[Richard Turner]

it already blows Seeing AI away with the fact that you can do multipage 
documents in a batch and save as one file with formatting in tact. And it is 
all done right on the phone!

This is also where it blows KNFB Reader away to because still, for $99.99, they 
cannot retain formatting.
I'd gladly pay quite a bit more for an app this easy to use and especially with 
the integration with Voice Dream Reader.
But, please, try it out and give him the feedback you have on anything and 
everything about the app.

Re: The Health App

[Anna Dresner]

Hi Terri,

You can record health data manually, but there are apps that make it easier to 
record particular types. For instance, if you use a sleep tracking app, it 
records sleep data. If you have an Apple Watch, it records activity data. There 
are also shortcuts that record health data, such as one for logging water.

Best,
Anna

Re: GPS and Destination Direction

[Richard Turner]

most of them do in my experience.
Google Maps, Apple Maps, MapQuest, etc.
That doesn't mean they always do it, or always get it right.
In my area, even numbers are on the south and west sides of the street. So if 
it tells me it's on the left side and I am heading east and it is an even 
number, I know it is wrong since odd numbers are on the north side.
So, I ignore what apps say and go by the address pattern where I live.
HTH,
Richard

RE: Returning to call after holding

[Richard Turner]

It has been a long time since I had this happen, but there should be a return 
to call button in the upper left corner on the screen.
If not, and you just have the keypad on the screen, in the lower right there is 
the hide keypad button, double tap that and one of the 6 buttons will be return 
to call or some phrase like that.

Sometimes, when I am on a phone call, I get another call at the same time.  I

RE: seeing AI version 3 update today

[Bill Outman]

Well, AIRA, which is a subscription service that does a lot of what Be My Eyes 
does, have an option for smart glasses.  That a different type of service, 
though.  I am not sure if you have AIRA available in the U. K. yet.  I have 
heard of people using a hands free mount for the phone so the phone can be put 
on a baseball or construction hat.  I have no personal experience with that, 
however.  I’d be curious about how that was done.

Hi Chris,

I just wish the app would work with a pair of smart glasses; that would be my 
dream come true.

 

Kind regards

If only they’d add the ability to OCR PDF files.

Greetings,

Seeing AI has a great update today.

One of my favorite changes is that you can reoer the channels to have them in 
your preferred order.

I will explain it in the context of the list below.

Mar 12, 2019: Version 3.0

 

•Explore photos by touch: This new feature allows you to explore how objects in 
a photo are arranged. Select "Explore Photo" from the Scene channel, photo

browser, or when recognizing photos from other apps. Then, move your finger 
over the screen to hear where objects are located.

 

•All new iPad support.

 

•Get faster access to your favorite features by customizing the order in which 
channels are shown.

   To do this, open the menu from the main screen, go to settings, 
then Reorder Channels.

The channels are listed in reverse order on the screen.  Short Text is listed 
at the top, and Light detection is the bottom.  Next to each channel is a 
“reorder button.”

Hold that button and drag the apps to your preferred arrangement, remembering 
that on the main screen when you are done, Short Text will be the first channel.

VoiceOver users of course have to double tap and hold the second tap.

It works great!

 

•On the Person channel, you can now teach Seeing AI to recognize someone new, 
directly from the main screen.

   The Face Recognition button is now on the main screen.  A few 
left flicks from the person channel.

 

•When recognizing photos from other apps, you will now hear the processing 
sound as in the main app.

 

Enjoy,

Richard
