It used to be that, but they have simplified it.
Open the app store, double tap on my account, then flick right to manage 
subscriptions.
If you don't find "my account" right away, open updates and it is there near 
the top, but it should be near the top in most of the tabs.

Re: Aura meditation app

2019-04-08 Thread Anna Dresner
Hi Beth,

I played around with it a bit and also couldn't get the meditations to play. I 
would suggest the 10% Happier app. They've made it work quite well with 
VoiceOver, and there's quite a bit of free content. The book Meditation for 
Fidgety Skeptics, available on BARD and Audible, includes a link that unlocks 
all the content that supports the book. There's a wide variety of really nice 
meditations.

Best,
Anna

I did read through some mail this morning but felt that as I worked through 
what I had, there may have been a degradation in scan quality after doing and 
discarding several documents. I tried closing the program and restarting and 
finally got something which identified what I had, but just wondering if anyone 
else has noted this. It might have been that I was set up at my kitchen table 
and I am personally not as comfortable out there as I am in my big chair, page 
in my lap, phone to the center of the document, lifting and positioning 
properly to get picture. I will play with it some more. Overall, impressed and 
pleased and think it will ultimately be useful until or if NFB gets things back 
in action with KNFB Reader.

Russ, Thank you as well for that link. That demonstration was clearer to hear, 
and I learned a lot of things with the descriptives  there regarding settings 
which I can try and work with as well.

I am pleased with the purchase. Thanks again for everyone’s help.

Smiles to all,

does not. Maybe Winston has other income than that from his various apps, but 
the same applies to the Seeing Eye GPS, at an outright purchase price of $299 
it is pretty expensive especially since Sendero also received a lot of grants 
to develop it.

I did read through some mail this morning but felt that as I worked through 
what I had, there may have been a degradation in scan quality after doing and 
discarding several documents. I tried closing the program and restarting and 
finally got something which identified what I had, but just wondering if anyone 
else has noted this. It might have been that I was set up at my kitchen table 
and I am personally not as comfortable out there as I am in my big chair, page 
in my lap, phone to the center of the document, lifting and positioning 
properly to get picture. I will play with it some more. Overall, impressed and 
pleased and think it will ultimately be useful until or if NFB gets things back 
in action with KNFB Reader.
 
Russ, Thank you as well for that link. That demonstration was clearer to hear, 
and I learned a lot of things with the descriptives  there regarding settings 
which I can try and work with as well.
 
I am pleased with the purchase. Thanks again for everyone’s help.
 
Smiles to all,

Has anyone used one of these aids?  They are very cheap:  only 30$NZ  [21$US]. 
They have a 4.5 rating if the feedback is to be believed.
They are made, specifically:   or that is how I read it:  for amplifying speech.
As it is rare:  well, relatively so:  for me to speak to someone person to 
person/face to face:  I do not want to spend a lot of money, which I have done 
in the past, and I still have to keep asking for my companion to repeat what 
he/she has said:  a constant request which must put a strain on his/her 
patience.
Remarkedly from time to time, I can, clearly, hear very very tiny sounds and on 
my left side too which is my, particularly, bad side.  I will give you an 
example.  A few nights ago, I opened the backdoor and spoke to Guideon, my dog. 
 He was about 5 feet to my left which is my bad side for hearing, but I, 
actually, heard him move a paw and one claw made the faintest click on the 
concrete!!!
It was Deslie, my sister who discovered the Axon v99 on the 'net.  They are not 
available in New Zealand so she has sent off to China where they are 
manufactured.  She says that, at the price, if it turns out to be nothing other 
than a little box of useless junk,, little will be lost if it is tossed into 
the rubbish or recycling bin!

I recently bought the Trekz Titanium Air which I like, but I am not 100% happy 
with how there is a non-adjustable band or whatever you want to call it behind 
your head. For me it’s wway to big and if I push it further up my head where 
it’s lying against my head then it doesn’t really stay there during walking.

The volume will never be loud enough when walking in noisy traffic. 

That is the only downside to having your ears uncovered, which of course, is 
also the upside to using bone conduction.

If you need the gps info while in noisy areas, there really isn't a good 
solution.

If you just want info while hearing your surroundings they are fine.

I will say as someone who has not been able to where the previous Aftershokz, I 
had an opportunity to try the Trex titanium the other day and they are more 
comfortable by far.

That's the main thing to realise about bone conduction. You're never 
going to get the same richness of sound that you would from earbuds or 
headphones. The upside is that you can't really damage your hearing with them 
since the sound goes through your skull. They're ideal for reading a book or 
listening to GPS instructions while walking so you can still hear your 
surroundings normally with your ears. They also don't interfere with hearing 
aids which is a plus in my case. One major minus is that I find the microphone 
in the Trekz Titanium leaves much to be desired. I would never do a recording 
with it. You can be understood by Siri and on phone calls but it's an area 
where I'd like some improvement. I don't regret my backing of the Trekz 
Titaniums when they came out and will upgrade to whatever the current 
generation of Aftershokz is when these ones fail. Aftershokz customer service 
and warranty has been very good and they quickly replaced a set which broke 
without fuss.

RE: Bank America new bill pay function in mobile app

2019-04-08 Thread Judy Holloway
I have used the Bank of America iPhone app for many years, and they have really 
screwed it up within the last few months. You have to scroll down to see the 
list of payees, and paying bills and other transactions with this app are now 
more complicated. I've finally gotten it to work now, though.

 

Thanks.

We use too. 

My My wife is sighted and she says on the iPad Mini you see about 7 payees, 
while on the iPhone SE, you see maybe 3.

Flicking with one finger doesn't move beyond the first screen with VoiceOver, 
so you do have to do the three finger swipe to scroll the screen.

The good news is that you can now do several payees at once, which I guess is 
progress.

I think I'd prefer that the one finger flicks would continue through the list 
of payees.
