RE: Hearing aids locking up when streaming media or telephone

[Mr. Ed]

Hi All,
Here is what I figured out today on my Resound aid. First of all aids when 
connecting to media, VO and telephone use Apples Hearing software MFI. So here 
is what happens. When I have my iPhone set for phone calls to come into my aids 
that part works well. But when I end the call my aids drop back to the aids. 
But when I make any gestures on the iPhone VO is still connecting to my aids 
even though I have that turned off. The only way to get VO not to go into my 
aids or stop if from doing that I have to go into the control panel and set it 
back to the iPhone instead of the hearing aids. Normally what is suppose to 
happen is when I am done with a call everything is suppose to go back to the 
iPhone but VO does not. This is a known issues with VO users. People who do not 
use VO do not have this issue. The Resound tech told me Apple has to make a 
change for this to be corrected. So if you have VO going into your aids all the 
time you will not have a problem. The issue is I don't want VO to go to my aids 
after the call has ended. I want it to come out the iPhone speaker and this is 
what is not working correctly. I have to manually go in and change this every 
time after a phone call. 
I hope this makes some sense to all of you hearing aid users.
Mr. Ed

Hi Carolyn:

I think you should put up a fight.  They didn't tell you ahead of time that 
they would not be compatible with your iPhone and voice over.

That is a lot of money for something that doesn't do what you were 
expecting.

That was the great thing about Costco.  You have six months to return them 
for a full refund if you are not satisfied for any reason.

RE: Issue with the Capital One Mobile app

[M. Taylor]

This is a fabulous point, Yolanda.

Wow!  I never would have thought of that.

Yes, it is oh so important to use standard screen size settings when first 
testing out a feature.

An excellent point, indeed.

Retrieving my iCloud mail user name and password

[Terri Stimmel]

Hello everyone,


I have an iCloud email account I rarely use.

However, I would like to start to make more use of it. So I want to add 
the account in to the mail App on my phone.


Unfortunately though, I can not figure out how to possibly reset the 
password. I believe I remember my user name. Though it is different from 
my Apple ID.


I just can't seem to figure out how to get the information I need. Or 
how to go about resetting this password. I don't want to reset my Apple 
ID password.


Can anyone possibly help me?


Thank you,


Terri

RE: Hearing aids locking up when streaming media or telephone

[Carolyn Arnold]

I do have 30 days. I might ask him about an alternative. 

My cousin has Resound that she got from Hearing Aid Express. She has had hers 
for eight years, realizes that probably her hearing loss is not as much as 
mine, but she is really happy with them. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

RE: Hearing aids locking up when streaming media or telephone

[Carolyn Arnold]

The audiologist talked to the Oticon engineer, and I have the impression that 
when he got to blind, that did it. The engineer said it would not be compatible 
with VoiceOver. It does work, but there is an echo for my calling party. I can 
use my old headset just fine. I just hate to have paid for something I can't 
really use, feel like I am entitled to some kind of refund, but, of course, 
that is like feeling like I should be able to fly to the grocery store too. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

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

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?

RE: Voice Dream Scanner beta

[khaffar]

I agree Richard, this is a great product even in Beta. I would certainly think 
it should be more than the $5.00. I think the author have to have enough 
incentive in order to continue to develop such great applications.

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.

Here is the latest info from Testflight which you have to have installed in

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

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.

RE: Issue with the Capital One Mobile app

[Cristobal Muñoz]

An update… So as I suspected, even with activating my debit card, no go. Still 
no option to locate a nearby branch/ATM.

After that Creditwise button at the bottom of the screen, it’s still then the 
home and profile tabs.

Anyway, thought I’d give a quick follow up.

I’ll probably be reaching out to Capital One again over the weekend outlining 
the same.

I believe you, but again, I as well as others aren’t getting this on our 
screens. 

After the Creditwise button swiping past it lands on the home and then profile 
tab.

I get the same behavior on my SE where I also downloaded the Capital One app to 
make sure it wasn’t some funky thing with my XR.

The only other thing I can think of is that since I barely opened the account 
and have yet to receive the debit card, maybe once I activate it then the 
branch/ATM locator option will pop up. I’m not holding my breath though since 
again, others have also mentioned that they’re not getting this locator tool on 
their screen either. The Capital One rep didn’t make any mention that this had 
to be a requirement for that option to appear either.

Once I get and activate the card, I’ll follow up in case there was any change.

On the main account screen, a list of all accounts will appear. Perform a 1 
finger swipe across to the last account. Then, swipe 1 finger to the right 
again. You hear credit wize button. Swipe one more time, you hear branch/atm 
button.

If you don’t hear these, delete and redownload the app.

Re: Keyboards

You could also try changing the typing style to direct touch typing,
which means you put a finger where you think the letter is and raise
to type. It is a little faster than touch typing, and I think is meant
to be more of a muscle memory thing. This is within the voiceover
settings.

  Here is the latest info from Testflight which you have to have installed

image.
  Saving as PDF is not only fully accessible, but it retains any images in

  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.

For $100 Mexican I’d definitely grab it! So it’ll be like an AddOn or module 
for Voice Dream Reader? Then as I understand?

Is there a way to share or export a scan from the Scanner app? I cannot find 
any such button in the app.

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

[Kay Malmquist]

Apparently there is a problem between the Transforming Braille group and the 
manufacturer and as I was told by someone at APH yesterday, they don't think 
they will be selling the Orbit reader any time soon, if at all.  That is all 
I was told.  I think someone needs to come out and let everybody know what 
is actually going on.

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

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

Subject: Hokusai podcast

Hello, I am looking for a podcast that describes some of the uses of Hokusai.
I found  a link from a few years ago but the link is broken.
Does anyone know of a Hokusai podcast or possibly have the file from a few 
years ago that they can send me.
Have the best of days,
Tim
