Interesting that Accessibility might be different from one publication to the 
next. I tried the Atlantic, which was good. I’ve tried a couple of articles 
that were just in the various sections but not within a magazine as such, and 
they were good. I guess I will have to go look at wine enthusiast and see what 
that has.

Re: Apple news plus service

After the free month, if you keep it, you'll be charged $9.99 per month.
The New Yorker seems quite accessible, but the Wine enthusiast doesn't seem so 
good.
That's what I've tried so far.

you can see the full listing of the titles of articles and features.
Then you double tap on one and you go there. So that part looks good.
But I’m just not understanding where are the rest of the magazines.
Nothing beginning with T through Z?

Re: Voice Dream Scanner

Harry, and others,
To perform OCR on a PDF that you have in Voice Dream Reader beta using the 
scanner beta; open the PDF in VDR, double tap on the document button, and flick 
right to the last item; or just touch near the bottom of the screen and you 
will find a "Perform OCR" button; double tap and poof, you are reading your PDF 
document.
I found an old PacMate hlyer that, of course, was a scanned image PDF instead 
of an accessible text based document.
The scanner beta did a great job with it.

If you load a PDF doc that is scanned, you can optionally “Perform OCR”, which 
would make that PDF readable in Voice Dream Reader.

I don’t have a file to test right now as I need to get ready for work, but when 
you open the PDF in voice Dream, or touch focus on it, you should be able to 
find an option to do OCR.
If you send me a scanned PDF directly, I’ll test it if you don’t figure it out.

Re: Apple news plus service

Well, that’s interesting. I did reboot both of my phones after the update. I 
mean of course, it restarts and you get your update. And then I rebooted both 
phones after that. So maybe I could do it again and see what happens. It seems 
like if you’re seeing it on an 8+ then I should see it here. Very strange.

Mary,
Well, I just checked on my work phone which is an 8 plus, and the same things
are there.
Perhaps time for a power off and on again or something?
I will see a client next week with an xr, so if you have not figured out either
what your missing, or how we are cross-communicating, I will check on her phone.

RE: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

This sounds like it is no different than any store branded Mastercard with 
rewards and maybe a few extras. I would agree that the idea not to print the 
entire card number, expiry date and CV code on the actual card is a good thing.
Also sounds like for now this is a US only thing as with so many other Apple 
services.

There is no swiping or signing, you can either tap or you enter your PIN.

You can use it with Apple Pay at places that take it ..  If they don't take it 
then you use the physical card.  You have access to the card number, expiration 
date, and  CVN via the wallet, so you can use it just like any other credit 
card.

There is supposed to be a way you can use the card in places that don’t take 
Apple Pay. I don’t think they said exactly what that was, but I didn’t watch 
the presentation. I just read about it afterwards, because it’s a whole lot 
faster. I can use Apple Pay in grocery stores and a couple of drugstore chains 
here in town. I also use it for an online natural food store where I do a fair 
bit of shopping. I think target takes it now as well. They were resistant for a

RE: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

I haven't even listened to this announcement, but certainly any credit card 
Apple offers has to be one of the major cards behind the scenes, e.g. Visa, 
Mastercard etc. Therefore, even if the card number and so on are not printed on 
the physical card, a card number, expiry date and card verification code must 
exist.
Also, the fact that so relatively few merchants except Apple Pay in the US is 
not Apple's fault but it is in general a problem with the entire banking system.
Here in Canada we have had chip cards for many years and almost every merchant 
has contactless terminals which means as long as a transaction is below a 
certain amount, usually $100, all you have to do it tap your physical credit 
card to the card terminal and that's it. If the amount is greater you insert 
the credit card and enter your PIN just as you would do with a bank/debit card. 
There is no swiping or signing, you can either tap or you enter your PIN.
That is also why once Apple Pay was introduced in Canada and it was supported 
by the major banks and card processors it was available virtually everywhere as 
long as the merchant has a contactless terminal. It is very rare that I can't 
use tap or Apple Pay and it makes no difference whether it's at a large chain 
like Best Buy or at the privately owned  little corner store.

Best regards,
Sieghard

You can use it with Apple Pay at places that take it ..  If they don't take it 
then you use the physical card.  You have access to the card number, expiration 
date, and  CVN via the wallet, so you can use it just like any other credit 
card.

As for places in the US that take Apple Pay...  Wal Mart is about the only 
place I go that doesn't take it ...

There is supposed to be a way you can use the card in places that don’t take 
Apple Pay. I don’t think they said exactly what that was, but I didn’t watch 
the presentation. I just read about it afterwards, because it’s a whole lot 
faster. I can use Apple Pay in grocery stores and a couple of drugstore chains 
here in town. I also use it for an online natural food store where I do a fair 
bit of shopping. I think target takes it now as well. They were resistant for a 
long time.

Yes, I have looked by category, which is why I am now sure that the big long

RE: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

Sorry, Carolyn, I have to impart a little math lesson here.
"Percent" means "per hundred" which is why 3% means 3 per hundred. Therefore, 
3% on $360 is $10.80 and not $108, $108 would be 30% of $360.

While I also don't want another credit card since I'm still paying the one I 
have off, the Apple Card does present a compelling argument. My wife and I 
already spend around $30 per month on Apple stuff, mostly in-app purchases but 
also Apple Music, and being guaranteed to get 3% of that back in the form of 
Apple Cash does peek my interest. $30 per month is not much, but $360 per year 
is, and getting a percentage back from Apple related purchases or Apple Pay may 
be notable. They did not say, and I'm hoping it is addressed in one of the many 
articles yet to come, if it will be possible to transfer the Daily Cash as they 
called it, or reward money, from one's Apple Cash allotment to one's bank 
account. I was also interested in the physical Apple Card they mentioned, and 
that there will not be a 3 digit security code on the card itself. I wonder how 
this will work with stores and banks. Time will tell I suppose.

RE: Reminders

2019-03-25 Thread Ann Byrne

I have it set so that the reminder makes a sound.  I don't want it to 
read out loud automatically, but I don't get the "cord" sound and I 
don't get a message displayed ... anywhere--neither on the iPhone or 
on my Apple watch.

Hello Ann,

I love, love, love the native iOS reminders app.  In fact, I don't 
think I could get through my week without it.


As for having the text of the reminder read out loud?  I believe 
this has to do with a VoiceOver setting.


As for me, I would never want VoiceOver to automatically read the 
text of a reminder.  Instead, I have my reminders set to display a 
persistent banner across the screen which, forces me to interact with it.


Explore the Reminders notification settings and see what happens.

I have tried with Siri, without Siri.  I have examined the settings

Re: Problems with my Iphone

Well, I have an iPhone 7 Plus, although there’s no Sim card in it, so it’s 
really like a big iPod. I just updated, and I’m not having any issues. What 
makes you think it’s your lightning port? I’m sure you must have something, but 
it wasn’t clear to me from your message what led you to that conclusion.

Re: Apple news plus service

2019-03-25 Thread Michael Feir

'Ve just started exploring this and have signed up for the trial. I have no
difficulty doing continuous reading on my iPHONE7. I can also move through
an article line by line or word by word. The rotor is super helpful and
bing abled to so easily access so much magazine content might slow my
financial drain resulting from buying Kindle books. I'll be too busy
reading articles.

I much prefer the iPHONE layout over the iPAD layout. Having my punctuation
set to none, I initialy failed to realise that the "news plus" button which
you double-tap to access that content wasn't just a title saying "news".
You have to feel around more to navigate efficiently on the iPAD. Still,
everything seems about as accessible as you could make magazines. I've
found at least ten that I'll thoroughly enjoy reading regularly.

The fre content seems pretty nice too. I'm still learning the ropes but am
very impressed so far. You could read for days and not come up for air.

Problems with my Iphone

2019-03-25 Thread Lelia Struve

Hello everyone, so  my husband and I are both having issues and the same issue. 
We both have iPhone 7 with the latest update and here are the problems. When 
ever we move, it seems like either Siri or music is interrupting whatever we 
are doing at the time. We think it is our lightning ports, if that is the case 
is there anything we can do? Also has anyone else had this issue and what did 
you do? Thank you in advance. This is really frustrating.

Re: Apple news plus service

I hope you reported that to Apple. I don’t use the Apple news app until now. I 
have an RSS reader that I like a lot so I just keep using that, rather than the 
news program. But assuming this magazine thing works as it appears it will, I’m 
going to be a big fan.

RE: iPhone SE back in Apple Store

I hope you like yours as much as I like mine. I have two girlfriends with 
sevens, and they wish theirs were this small. Plus I do more with mine than 
they with theirs, but I don't think that has a thing in the world to do with SE 
of seven. Only thing, they paid more than three times what I did; they paid 
$549. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

While I also don't want another credit card since I'm still paying the one I 
have off, the Apple Card does present a compelling argument. My wife and I 
already spend around $30 per month on Apple stuff, mostly in-app purchases but 
also Apple Music, and being guaranteed to get 3% of that back in the form of 
Apple Cash does peek my interest. $30 per month is not much, but $360 per year 
is, and getting a percentage back from Apple related purchases or Apple Pay may 
be notable. They did not say, and I'm hoping it is addressed in one of the many 
articles yet to come, if it will be possible to transfer the Daily Cash as they 
called it, or reward money, from one's Apple Cash allotment to one's bank 
account. I was also interested in the physical Apple Card they mentioned, and 
that there will not be a 3 digit security code on the card itself. I wonder how 
this will work with stores and banks. Time will tell I suppose.

RE: iPhone SE back in Apple Store

Consumer let me put ten dollars down, then took out $25 for six months. They 
have good Customer Service. The guy went out on the Internet and went to Apple 
Vis, then suggested that we turn off Raise to Wake when I was getting poor 
battery mileage. It made a world of difference.

RE: Reminders

2019-03-25 Thread M. Taylor

Hello Ann,

I love, love, love the native iOS reminders app.  In fact, I don't think I 
could get through my week without it.

As for having the text of the reminder read out loud?  I believe this has to do 
with a VoiceOver setting.  

As for me, I would never want VoiceOver to automatically read the text of a 
reminder.  Instead, I have my reminders set to display a persistent banner 
across the screen which, forces me to interact with it.  

Explore the Reminders notification settings and see what happens.

Mark

I can't for the life of me get reminders to remind.  My friend can tell Siri 
"create a reminder in 3 minutes to walk the dog", and in three minutes the 
dinger dings and the phone says to walk the dog.  With me, nada.

I have tried with Siri, without Siri.  I have examined the settings for 
reminders and notifications and everything looks right.  Is there a hidden 
command I need to find somewhere and check or uncheck?

thanks,
Ann

RE: Apple watch fourth gen and battery.

2019-03-25 Thread M. Taylor

Hello Jennifer,

If you do not use your eyes to view the info on your watch, I suggest that you 
turn the display brightness down and have the display turn off after 15 
seconds.  

As a general rule, I get about 2 days worth of use out of my watch and that's 
including using it to reply to text messages and using it during workout 
routines.

Part of the reason why I get so much time out of my watch is because I am 
extremely familiar with it's features.  When I first got my watch, I was only 
getting about 10 hours out of it because I spent so much time exploring.  

My point?  You will definitely get more time out of the watch as you explore 
less and less.

Mark

RE: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

2019-03-25 Thread pdllogan77

You can use it with Apple Pay at places that take it ..  If they don't take it 
then you use the physical card.  You have access to the card number, expiration 
date, and  CVN via the wallet, so you can use it just like any other credit 
card.

As for places in the US that take Apple Pay...  Wal Mart is about the only 
place I go that doesn't take it ...

There is supposed to be a way you can use the card in places that don’t take 
Apple Pay. I don’t think they said exactly what that was, but I didn’t watch 
the presentation. I just read about it afterwards, because it’s a whole lot 
faster. I can use Apple Pay in grocery stores and a couple of drugstore chains 
here in town. I also use it for an online natural food store where I do a fair 
bit of shopping. I think target takes it now as well. They were resistant for a 
long time.

You better refigure your answer. 3 percent of $360 is $10.8 not $108. I would

While I also don't want another credit card since I'm still paying the one I 
have off, the Apple Card does present a compelling argument. My wife and I 
already spend around $30 per month on Apple stuff, mostly in-app purchases but 
also Apple Music, and being guaranteed to get 3% of that back in the form of 
Apple Cash does peek my interest. $30 per month is not much, but $360 per year 
is, and getting a percentage back from Apple related purchases or Apple Pay may 
be notable. They did not say, and I'm hoping it is addressed in one of the many 
articles yet to come, if it will be possible to transfer the Daily Cash as they 
called it, or reward money, from one's Apple Cash allotment to one's bank 
account. I was also interested in the physical Apple Card they mentioned, and 
that there will not be a 3 digit security code on the card itself. I wonder how 
this will work with stores and banks. Time will tell I suppose.

Re: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

There is supposed to be a way you can use the card in places that don’t take 
Apple Pay. I don’t think they said exactly what that was, but I didn’t watch 
the presentation. I just read about it afterwards, because it’s a whole lot 
faster. I can use Apple Pay in grocery stores and a couple of drugstore chains 
here in town. I also use it for an online natural food store where I do a fair 
bit of shopping. I think target takes it now as well. They were resistant for a 
long time.

RE: Reminders

My Reminders used to Remind. Now, the signal goes off, but I have to open 
Reminders to read it. I have a couple of friends, who, believe it or not, are 
weaker iPhone users than I am. That would be a problem for one of them in 
particular. Siri used to read mine, even on the old 4S. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

I can't for the life of me get reminders to remind.  My friend can tell Siri 
"create a reminder in 3 minutes to walk the dog", and in three minutes the 
dinger dings and the phone says to walk the dog.  With me, nada.

I have tried with Siri, without Siri.  I have examined the settings for 
reminders and notifications and everything looks right.  Is there a hidden 
command I need to find somewhere and check or uncheck?

While I also don't want another credit card since I'm still paying the one I 
have off, the Apple Card does present a compelling argument. My wife and I 
already spend around $30 per month on Apple stuff, mostly in-app purchases but 
also Apple Music, and being guaranteed to get 3% of that back in the form of 
Apple Cash does peek my interest. $30 per month is not much, but $360 per year 
is, and getting a percentage back from Apple related purchases or Apple Pay may 
be notable. They did not say, and I'm hoping it is addressed in one of the many 
articles yet to come, if it will be possible to transfer the Daily Cash as they 
called it, or reward money, from one's Apple Cash allotment to one's bank 
account. I was also interested in the physical Apple Card they mentioned, and 
that there will not be a 3 digit security code on the card itself. I wonder how 
this will work with stores and banks. Time will tell I suppose.

Re: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

2019-03-25 Thread James English

I'm really surprised to here how little acceptance everybody has had
with apple pay in America. I have been able to use it nearly
everywhere in the UK, the same as I would a normal contactless card.
The only places I've been which don't accept apple pay are the places
with very old card readers, that also don't accept contactless either.

I think Apple realized this a while ago, which is why Apple got into 
services like Apple Music. Just as Microsoft had to become more than an 
operating system company, I think Apple realized they have to be more 
than a hardware company.

RE: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

Since I do a lot of my purchasing online, I'm very curious how I could use the 
Apple Card to do so when it has no card number. And I haven't heard much from 
folks about how often they are able to use Apple Pay since that is a 
requirement with the new Apple Card in order to get the most rewards when not 
buying from Apple. I agree that the security this card offers is good but I 
suspect it will further negatively impact the number of vendors who accept the 
card and Apple Pay. Hopefully, the involvement of Master Card with the Apple 
Card will make it acceptable at more places than currently accepting Apple Pay.

Well, they said this card would be usable in places where Apple Pay was not

comes out. I think it s going to be extremely convenient. No fees. No late 
payment penalties, there s a shocker. And competitive interest rates whatever

Re: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

One article I read speculated, and that’s all it is, that they wouldn’t have to 
charge that much, because Netflix has to pay an off a lot of licensing fees. 
And that runs up the price. We shall see.

Apple news plus service

I signed up for the free month trial of Apple news service. I am a bit baffled 
regarding the list of magazines. I know it’s only the first day this is out, so 
perhaps not too many have signed up for it yet. But I don’t understand why it 
would appear that I am not seeing the full list of magazines. When I go to the 
end of the very long list, I’m stopped in the case of my iPhone ex are with 
Southern living being the last magazine. They are in alphabetical order. On my 
7+, which I updated first, I got as far as sunset magazine, which should come 
just after Southern living I guess, and no more. I do not see the Wall Street 
Journal listed, although it is a newspaper technically and not a magazine. Same 
for the Los Angeles times. I can’t see articles from those papers, but not the 
whole paper. I was under the impression that we were going to get access to the 
entire thing. The magazines look like the full deal. But those papers are not 
in the listing. I wonder what I’m missing. It looks quite accessible. When you 
double tap on a magazine title, it downloads and you can see the full listing 
of the titles of articles and features. Then you double tap on one and you go 
there. So that part looks good. But I’m just not understanding where are the 
rest of the magazines. Nothing beginning with T through Z?

If they charge more than Netflix it's a big no go.

Re: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

Some of the shows they previewed today actually sounds good, at least to me. A 
lot better than a lot of the crap that’s out there. But they haven’t announced 
a price. So whether I end up getting it or not will depend to some extent on 
how much they’re going to charge for that plus service.

Reminders

2019-03-25 Thread Ann Byrne

I can't for the life of me get reminders to remind.  My friend can 
tell Siri "create a reminder in 3 minutes to walk the dog", and in 
three minutes the dinger dings and the phone says to walk the 
dog.  With me, nada.


I have tried with Siri, without Siri.  I have examined the settings 
for reminders and notifications and everything looks right.  Is there 
a hidden command I need to find somewhere and check or uncheck?


thanks,
Ann

RE: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

2019-03-25 Thread Cristobal Muñoz

This lifehacker post going over why the new Apple card is rather bleh pretty 
much summarizes it for me. 
https://twocents.lifehacker.com/the-apple-card-is-an-average-rewards-card-1833550903

I mean, points are points and sure, I guess some folks are all about the brand, 
but cutting to the chase, there are more options already out there that’ll give 
you more bang for your buck as far as rewards/points go. I’ve got the Capital 
One Savers card mentioned for example. Right now and while I enjoy my Apple 
products, I just finished buying an XR and other than $3 a month for iCloud, 
it’s not like I spend a lot on Apple stuff. I’m not out in the wild enough to 
be paying with Apple wallet to always score the 3% or whatever either.

I suppose the titanium fancy looking card is nice, but a good looking card 
isn’t enough for a hard inquiry on my credit report to apply.

In short, I’m going to pass.

Subject: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

 

I read the Apple news brief about their announced Apple Card today and am 
curious what others on the list think about it. I'll say up front that my 
interest in credit cards and similar financial vehicles is first their 
widespread acceptance at the places I hsop and second the amount of rewards I'm 
able to earn when using them. To recap the rewards paid by the new Apple Card:

 

1.  Items purchased directly from Apple using the card earn 3% rewards.
2.  Items purchased from other places using the card with ApplePay earn 2% 
rewards.
3.  Items purchased using the physical Apple Card without ApplePay earn 1% 
rewards.

 

I'm pretty sure I've stated the above correctly but please chime in if your 
understanding is different.

 

I know we have members from all over the world but my experience in the USA 
with ApplePay hasn't been what I'd call wide acceptance. In fact, Since 
ApplePay has existed, I've only been able to use it a handful of times at 
either a McDonald's or Walgreens. So while I agree that 2% rewards for use of 
the Apple Card is pretty generous, I'm not convinced it will be realizable at 
the places I shop unless ApplePay becomes accepted in a lot more places than it 
currently is.

 

I'm curious what others on the list think about the Apple Card. I understand 
about companies needing to expand their product offerings in order to generate 
more revenue but I can't say Apple's efforts to expand into News, media 
entertainment production, and financial services generates a feeling of 
confidence for me.

Re: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

2019-03-25 Thread Wayne Merritt

While I also don't want another credit card since I'm still paying the
one I have off, the Apple Card does present a compelling argument. My
wife and I already spend around $30 per month on Apple stuff, mostly
in-app purchases but also Apple Music, and being guaranteed to get 3%
of that back in the form of Apple Cash does peek my interest. $30 per
month is not much, but $360 per year is, and getting a percentage back
from Apple related purchases or Apple Pay may be notable. They did not
say, and I'm hoping it is addressed in one of the many articles yet to
come, if it will be possible to transfer the Daily Cash as they called
it, or reward money, from one's Apple Cash allotment to one's bank
account. I was also interested in the physical Apple Card they
mentioned, and that there will not be a 3 digit security code on the
card itself. I wonder how this will work with stores and banks. Time
will tell I suppose.

Re: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

I think it is a great idea, should cut down a lot on credit card fraud, and I 
plan to get one. I might ditch others. If you’ve ever gone through the hassle 
of having to call in about fraudulent purchases that show up on your credit 
card statement, which has happened to me more than once, well… I can’t wait. 
There’s no number on this thing, no expiration and no special three digit code 
to memorize. Very nice.

Hi Alan I’m glad you posted this because I can say I’m now not the only one.  
Nothing about the highlights I read when I got home motivated any excitement 
for me at all. Nothing about the streaming service or the news service appealed 
to me thus far. As for cards meh I’m good don’t feel the need to have theirs I 
don’t care how new fashioned it seems to be with my name etched onto it and no 
card number or so they said. Like I said nothing they announced called to me at 
all.
Take good care,

Re: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

2019-03-25 Thread Victor Gouveia

I think it may be that Apple realizes that placing their eggs in one basket is 
just stupid business, especially with the decline in Apple sales over the last 
couple of years, and the fact that the iPhone has not changed much between the 
X and the XS and XR could signal a change.

Perhaps not a dissolution of the iPhone and it’s sister products like the iMAC, 
but at some point, someone at Apple is going to have to wake up and realize 
their products are just more expensive versions of other products currently on 
the market.

At least that’s my opinion.

Re: Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

My feeling is, I do not need any more credit cards and would not be interested

I’m sure it will work for many people and there will be many people interested.

Apple Card announcement today and thoughts of the group

I read the Apple news brief about their announced Apple Card today and am
curious what others on the list think about it. I'll say up front that my
interest in credit cards and similar financial vehicles is first their
widespread acceptance at the places I hsop and second the amount of rewards
I'm able to earn when using them. To recap the rewards paid by the new Apple
Card:

 

1.   Items purchased directly from Apple using the card earn 3% rewards.

2.   Items purchased from other places using the card with ApplePay earn 2%
rewards.

3.   Items purchased using the physical Apple Card without ApplePay earn 1%
rewards.

 

I'm pretty sure I've stated the above correctly but please chime in if your
understanding is different.

 

I know we have members from all over the world but my experience in the USA
with ApplePay hasn't been what I'd call wide acceptance. In fact, Since
ApplePay has existed, I've only been able to use it a handful of times at
either a McDonald's or Walgreens. So while I agree that 2% rewards for use
of the Apple Card is pretty generous, I'm not convinced it will be
realizable at the places I shop unless ApplePay becomes accepted in a lot
more places than it currently is.

 

I'm curious what others on the list think about the Apple Card. I understand
about companies needing to expand their product offerings in order to
generate more revenue but I can't say Apple's efforts to expand into News,
media entertainment production, and financial services generates a feeling
of confidence for me.

RE: phone unlocking without a finger print or password

My apologies. I neglected to read the entire thread history before my last 
post. I agree that with the settings I posted about turned on, your question 
might still be answered from a locked device but the device should not be 
opened for access without a passcode, touch ID, or Face ID being provided.

I have heard no reports of an iPhone which is secured with a passcode and Touch 
or Face Id unlocking automatically, this simply does not happen and if it did 
it would be all over the media and Apple’s stock would drop 2% instantly.

If of course you push the home button to activate SIRI and do so with the same

Re: iOS 12.2 is available today

2019-03-25 Thread Wayne Merritt

Check AppleVis for what's new, which is basically not much for
VoiceOver or on the mainstream. I think you can subscribe to the new
Apple News Plus service today, but most other things they announced
will be available anywhere from 2 to 6 months from now. I'm getting
tired of Apple previewing new things, but not actually releasing them
till a little to a lot later. If that's their new model, why don't
they tell us now about what's going to be in this year's iPhone? I can
dream, hehehe.

Re: phone unlocking without a finger print or password


I have all those settings on other than Wallet, which I do not use; and I've 
never had this happen.
I still have to either use my passcode or fingerprint.

If of course you push the home button to activate SIRI and do so with the same

You did not say how you are accessing Siri. Are you using Hey Siri?
If you are pressing the home button; are you using a finger other than those 
you've set fingerprints with?

Re: Apple watch fourth gen and battery.

Hi Jenn,

I would suggest restarting the watch. Maybe an app got stuck on and is drawing 
battery that it shouldn't. Restarting will stop all apps so you can begin from 
scratch.

Best,

Google Accessibility support now available directly from Be My Eyes

Hi,

Maybe somebody posted this, but I was away for 2 weeks and while I skimmed 
through the 1,100 messages I received during this time from the lists I am on, 
I did probably miss some threads. Anyways, while it is easy to reach Apple 
Accessibility or Microsoft Accessibility by phone via their toll free numbers, 
Google Accessibility so far could only be reached by email. Now it is possible 
to call Google Accessibility directly via the Be My Eyes app which is available 
for iOS and Android. Microsoft Accessibility support is also available this way 
and I often use Be My Eyes for this because I find that I get to speak to an 
agent quicker than when I call the toll free number for Microsoft Accessibility 
and of course I have the option to also show the agent my screen since this is 
a video call. Would be nice if Apple would also come aboard, when Be My Eyes 
first introduced this specialized help option I also emailed them and suggested 
they might want to contact Sonos to see if they would be interested in offering 
support for visually impaired customers this way, but obviously so far nothing 
has happened there.
Here is the email I received from Be My Eyes:

A Warm Welcome to the Newest Specialized Help Partner: Google
You can now get help managing your Google products by the tap of a button.
We're pleased to announce that Google is the newest company onboard the 
Specialized Help platform! Specialized Help enables blind and low-vision users 
to connect directly with company representatives through a live video 
connection. Blind and low-vision users can now request assistance from the 
Google Disability Support team through the Be My Eyes app for questions about 
assistive tools and accessibility features within Google's products.
Getting connected to the Google Disability Support team through Be My Eyes is 
easy. Start by accessing the Specialized Help menu from the Be My Eyes home 
screen and select Google from the list. From the Google profile, you can make a 
call directly to the Google Disability Support team. Making a Specialized Help 
call to Google works just like any other Be My Eyes call, except that you'll 
get connected to an official Google representative, who can help you with 
troubleshooting or other questions on accessibility features within Google's 
products or services effectively.
Please note that the Google Specialized Help option should only be used for 
questions or issues concerning assistive tools or accessibility features within 
Google's products or services. You can make calls to Google through Be My Eyes 
Monday through Friday 8AM-5PM PT. Currently in English only, from Australia, 
Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, India, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, the 
Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
If you have other requests for companies or institutions to become a part of 
Specialized Help, please send us an email at i...@bemyeyes.com and we'll do our 
best to include them on the platform.

Best regards,
Alexander Hauerslev Jensen,
CCO at Be My Eyes

RE: phone unlocking without a finger print or password

2019-03-25 Thread Paul and Paula Jordan

It seems to do it when I use Hey Siri.  As I said before it doesn’t happen all 
the time, but it happened again last night.  I asked Siri for the temperature, 
it was given and a few seconds later my phone opened to the home screen and 
said “music folder.”  If I remember correctly I didn’t touch the phone.  Very 
strange. I will pay close attention and, if the problem persists, will call 
Apple.  Thanks.

You did not say how you are accessing Siri. Are you using Hey Siri? 

If you are pressing the home button; are you using a finger other than those 
you've set fingerprints with?

I've not noticed this; but I'll pay attention more.

Hi all.  I’m just wondering if anyone else has seen this.  When my phone is

reply to a message from the locked screen.  I’m thinking this is a bug that 
should be reported to Apple.  I’m using an IPhone 7 running the latest version

I don’t think I’ve set anything differently in my settings menu.  It seems like 
this could be a security risk.

HI Jen,

There is definitely a list that I created for the AppleWatch. The subscription

Hope this works! I just reviewed the heck out of the link, so just give it a

RE: Voice Dream Scanner

When I asked Winston about recognizing PDF’s in the scanner app he said:
I’m already working on that, but I’m implementing it inside Voice Dream Reader. 
If you load a PDF doc that is scanned, you can optionally “Perform OCR”, which 
would make that PDF readable in Voice Dream Reader.

I don’t have a file to test right now as I need to get ready for work, but when 
you open the PDF in voice Dream, or touch focus on it, you should be able to 
find an option to do OCR.
If you send me a scanned PDF directly, I’ll test it if you don’t figure it out.

RE: Voice Dream Scanner

That feature is only going to be used in conjunction with Voice Dream Reader, 
so you need the VDR beta in order to try that.
I asked Winston if that would be available in the stand-alone app, but he said 
probably not. If you don't want to try the VDR Beta, the app is likely to be 
out fairly soon and there will be a corresponding VDR update to include this 
feature.
