RE: Siri problem

2020-06-28 Thread Simon A Fogarty

Google do the google voice,
It's still synthetic 
As is the Samsung voice,

I believe you can pay for more humanised voices but they don't come free with 
android devices.

This question isn't as important here, but speaking of the google voice, does 
anyone know who does the google voice? I do like the google voice, it's even on 
a  a flip phone I have, called the etalk. Our favorite voice on our iPhones is 
Tom.

I like Siri and Samantha, so haven't tried any of the other ones for my iPhone. 
I've heard Douglas Walker's male voices on his phone on the Hadley videos, and 
they don't appeal to me. It is better though, that we have the choices to make.

Hi, Everyone,

Maybe I'm getting old, but I recently received new credit card info with a pin 
and all.  I've been able to make purchases at store locations, but I'm having 
difficulty adding it to my ID information.  The last time I did this was four

Pay instead of my card.  Should I delete the whole thing and start over, or 
perhaps you might have better suggestions.

Thanks very much.

Re: Siri problem

I use Samantha for Siri and Tom for voice-over, but I would sure like the Paul

is not bad, though. Siri is working fine by the way on my SE2.

I'm not sure what you mean by display settings, but you have to pair your 
display through VoiceOver settings and Braille. at the end of these settings is 
a choose your display heading. There will be a button that says your focus 
unpaired. Erble tap on that. It will ask for a pin. I can't remember if it is 
 or  but either of those two pins will work. Then there is a pair 
button after the pin number that you double tap on to pair your display. You 
will have to do this on both devices. Hmpe this helps.

RE: Newspapers.com

2020-06-28 Thread Richard Turner

I have not used Newspapers.com but if the files are downloadable, I would use 
Voice Dream Scanner, though it doesn't really handle columns yet.

KNFB Reader, free version inside the NFB Newsline beta might do it too.  I 
would not buy the KNFB Reader at its $100 price tag.

Thanks, very much.

Has anyone noticed this

2020-06-28 Thread Gordon

So Apple will sometimes make little changes under the hood that affects 
the way voice over behaves. This usually happens in waves, and not 
everyone gets the updates at the same time. I think it usually takes a 
week or so before everyone sees the changes. As of Thursday my iPhone 
isn't chatty when playing content such as whatsapp messages and other 
messages from recording apps. in the past voice over would repeat the 
length and other information associated with the messages when they 
began to play. Now voice over is silent as soon as you double tap to 
play something. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this on your 
phones?

Re: More Apple watch questions, yet again

2020-06-28 Thread Shirley Baker

If you have a series 3 watch and later, you don't have to worry about making 
and answering calls, nor receiving and answering text messages. I purposely 
don't always carry my phone everywhere I go. For fear that I might give you the 
wrong answer about the now playing screen, someone else can answer that for 
you. I know how I would get rid of something myself if I don't want it on the 
screen. When you get a phone call, you answer it like you do your phone by 
tapping twice with two fingers. At least that's how I do it. If you get a text 
message, go to messages and double tap on that and there's reply, dictate and 
scribble. I get suggestions of what to say in response. i also believe there's 
handwriting too but since I don't use that, I don't worry about that.
Hopefully that helps some but if you don't care for my answers, just wait and 
read other messages pertaining to your questions.

Re: Siri problem

2020-06-28 Thread Diane Giannetti

No, Siri and voiceover are two different things. With voiceover we need to go 
into settings and go into voice over and then speech and I have not done this 
in a long time, but I know there’s something to do with language and all that 
and changing voices with voiceover. Maybe somebody can be a little bit more 
clearer than I am at this point. But I know that’s where you go. LOL.

Re: Siri problem

2020-06-28 Thread Shirley Baker

I went to settings, accessibility, VoiceOver and to speech and it has voices, 
so I double tapped on that and chose Siri male so I am assuming that's the one 
I chose for Siri but I do not see anything different for VoiceOver unless that 
is the one for VoiceOver. I'm confused.

This is only true if you have the cellular model of the watch and it is

If you have a series 3 watch and later, you don't have to worry about making 
and answering calls, nor receiving and answering text messages. I purposely 
don't always carry my phone everywhere I go. For fear that I might give you 
the wrong answer about the now playing screen, someone else can answer that 
for you. I know how I would get rid of something myself if I don't want it 
on the screen. When you get a phone call, you answer it like you do your 
phone by tapping twice with two fingers. At least that's how I do it. If you 
get a text message, go to messages and double tap on that and there's reply, 
dictate and scribble. I get suggestions of what to say in response. i also 
believe there's handwriting too but since I don't use that, I don't worry 
about that.
Hopefully that helps some but if you don't care for my answers, just wait 
and read other messages pertaining to your questions.

Hello everyone,


I have a few more questions, regarding the Apple watch. I try to look most 
things up, or find out on my own. But sometimes I read so much I just feel 
a bit overwhelmed.



Ok first of all, if I were to accidentally leave my phone at home, when I 
go out, can I still access the watch? Could I still respond to texts, and 
make and answer a call?


Sometimes when I go out, I have a tendency to forget my phone. It doesn't 
happen always. Which is good. But it would be nice to know that I could 
still reach out, if I needed to do so.



Also, is there a way to get the now playing screen to stop coming up on my 
watch?


When I play music over my iPhone, or something within Voicedream, this 
screen keeps popping up.


Is there a way to stop this?


I think this is all for now. Again, any help is appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

Re: Siri problem

If you were in the voiceover setting and chose the Siri male, you were 
choosing it to be the voiceover voice. If you go to the Siri and search 
setting, go down to Siri voice and then choose the Siri male, it will be the 
default for Siri.

Alright,, I'll Chime IN  & Hope this Helps:
To Change the  VoiceOver Voice (i.e., Text-2-Speech)

Go InTo Settin's, & Then InTo Accessibility, & 
Then InTo VoiceOver, & Then InTo Speech, & Finally InTo Voice


This should Present you with Options (Available) 
Options  For Your VoiceOver'sVoice

i.e., Samantha, Alex,, Tom etc etc

(Please) Be Sure to Let "us"  Know if this Works 4  You
Because
if it does not, then Others on This List 
can  Offer Their InSight into the Matter. as  I'm 
NOT an Experienced user of Apple's iOS.

best case plus bluetooth keyboard for iPad

2020-06-28 Thread Donald Raikes

Hi all,

I think I may have asked this question before, but I thought I would try again.
\
I have a 7th generation iPad 10inch, and I want to get a cover to
protect it and I would also like a bluetooth keyboard for it.  My plan
is to use it as much as possible to replace my laptop for work for
things like email, slack, and some development work.

I would appreciate any reccommendations on a case with keyboard
combination that is easy to use and where there are no accessibility
issues with the keyboard like visual menus/lights that need to be seen
to properly pair the devices.

I agree with your rant; and I'll add my own.
VoiceOver is free.
You get amazing accessibility, and it does not cost a cent more.
Bugs exist in all software, get over it.
If you use a Windows computer, you have to spend a heck of a lot more for good
accessibility; and there are bugs there too.
And, while I'm on the subject, the free screen readers for Windows do not hold
a candle to VoiceOver on the iPhones or iPads.

moving files in onedrive

2020-06-28 Thread Donald Raikes

Hi all,

I just installed microsoft oneDrive onto my iPhone.

I have a number of files in the root folder of onedrive that I want to
move into a folder.

I created the folder, but when I flick down on one of the items in the
root folder, and select drag then move to the new folder I can't
figure out how to drop it there.  I set the rotor to actions and flick
up/down but there are no choices presented.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Don

Re: moving files in onedrive

2020-06-28 Thread Jennie Facer

Hi Don,

I just successfully moved a file from the root drive to a folder. Here is what 
I did:

1. Place focus on the file you want to move.
2. Flick up to drag and double tap
3. Place focus on the folder you want it to go into but don't double tap on it.
4. Flick down to drop on folder and double tap.
5. There will be a dialog box that pops up asking you if you want to move this 
message. Swipe right and double tap on move.

Hope this helps,

Jenn

Re: moving files in onedrive

2020-06-28 Thread Richard Turner

Try this.
Touch the file you want to drag/move.
Flick down with one finger to drag item and double tap.
Now, touch the folder where you want it.
Flick down again with one finger to drop item here or something like that, 
double tap and you will be asked if you want to move it.

Re: Siri problem

2020-06-28 Thread Devin Prater

To a point, we should be grateful. But we must also ask, politely I may add, 
for more. Keep in mind that the accessibility team at Apple aren’t bots, 
although they have responses that they give rather automatically because they 
*cannot* say more at the time. But they *do* want our feedback, positive or 
negative. They want to help us do even more with our devices. So don't feel 
like you just have to pray to Saint Jobs and hope they fix the mail focus bug. 
Give them feedback if you want something. Show your gratitude, if you’d like to 
think of it in this way, by telling them what could be better. I assure you, 
Apple won’t delete your VoiceOver off your phone for asking.

I also find myself scratching my head sometimes over the things people complain 
about and finding out what people hate. That being said, we we’re paying the 
same amount of money for our iPhones that sighted people are paying, and that 
means we have the same right they do to ask for changes and enhancements. 
iPhones are not cheap, and we’re talking about features Apple puts on the phone 
and brags about, so although we can appreciate those features we should never 
settle or stop asking for improvements. The best way to have bugs hang around 
release after release is to not report them.

 

I also don’t agree with the statement that the free screen readers for Windows 
can’t hold a candle to VoiceOver on the iPhones or iPads. It’s true I’m not 
using Narrator on a smart phone, but on my PC, I find NVDA and Narrator more 
than hold their own.

To a point, we should be grateful. But we must also ask, politely I may add, 
for more. Keep in mind that the accessibility team at Apple aren’t bots, 
although they have responses that they give rather automatically because they 
*cannot* say more at the time. But they *do* want our feedback, positive or 
negative. They want to help us do even more with our devices. So don't feel 
like you just have to pray to Saint Jobs and hope they fix the mail focus bug. 
Give them feedback if you want something. Show your gratitude, if you’d like to 
think of it in this way, by telling them what could be better. I assure you, 
Apple won’t delete your VoiceOver off your phone for asking.

VoiceOver is free.

You get amazing accessibility, and it does not cost a cent more.

Bugs exist in all software, get over it.

If you use a Windows computer, you have to spend a heck of a lot more for good 
accessibility; and there are bugs there too.

And, while I'm on the subject, the free screen readers for Windows do not hold

A very easy fix for this, is just before beginning to read the book
with voice dream reader, to turn off the voice over speech then do a 2
finger double tap to resume the playback of the book being read by
VDR.

RE: More Apple watch questions, yet again

2020-06-28 Thread Simon A Fogarty

Hi Terry,

If you have the standard gps watch then no messages and emails etc wont come 
through if you are away from the phone.

 However if you have the LTE watch then yes constant communication should 
continue as you have a full time LTE mobile data connection,

I'm nt sure about phone calls though.

 Note that once your GPS watch comes back in to signal range with the phone it 
will start receiving the back log of messages and associated data.

But things like activity tracking etc will keep working if you're away from 
your phone

things up, or find out on my own. But sometimes I read so much I just feel a 
bit overwhelmed.


Ok first of all, if I were to accidentally leave my phone at home, when I go 
out, can I still access the watch? Could I still respond to texts, and make and 
answer a call?

Sometimes when I go out, I have a tendency to forget my phone. It doesn't 
happen always. Which is good. But it would be nice to know that I could still 
reach out, if I needed to do so.


Also, is there a way to get the now playing screen to stop coming up on my 
watch?

When I play music over my iPhone, or something within Voicedream, this screen 
keeps popping up.

Is there a way to stop this?


I think this is all for now. Again, any help is appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

RE: best case plus bluetooth keyboard for iPad

2020-06-28 Thread Simon A Fogarty

Have a look at the apple website and see if there is an apple smart keyboard 
for your model iPad,

I know most of them now take a smart keyboard.

Subject: best case plus bluetooth keyboard for iPad

Hi all,

I think I may have asked this question before, but I thought I would try again.
\
I have a 7th generation iPad 10inch, and I want to get a cover to protect it 
and I would also like a bluetooth keyboard for it.  My plan is to use it as 
much as possible to replace my laptop for work for things like email, slack, 
and some development work.

I would appreciate any reccommendations on a case with keyboard combination 
that is easy to use and where there are no accessibility issues with the 
keyboard like visual menus/lights that need to be seen to properly pair the 
devices.

RE: Siri problem

2020-06-28 Thread Simon A Fogarty

And Richard, as I’m also a major windows user,

The free side of voiceover being part of the apple device package is a major 
draw card for users of adaptive tech that can afford it.

And although voiceover isn’t perfect for everythings,
Neither is jaws,
I was meant to be able to use a number of systems at work that jaws was not 
able to access due to both design failures from the developers of both 
platforms,

Mac os however could do things that jaws couldn’t.apple and it’s developers  
think about what their custoemrs require when developing applications,

Windows application developers don’t because they don’t talk to customers / 
users

I agree with your rant; and I'll add my own.
VoiceOver is free.
You get amazing accessibility, and it does not cost a cent more.
Bugs exist in all software, get over it.
If you use a Windows computer, you have to spend a heck of a lot more for good 
accessibility; and there are bugs there too.
And, while I'm on the subject, the free screen readers for Windows do not hold 
a candle to VoiceOver on the iPhones or iPads.

If we didn't have these voices or any of them, we would be in a world of 
hurtin'. Be greatful that you have choices. Be greatful you have VoiceOver 
period. Apple has made it nice for us although thereare bugs. There will always 
be bugs so don't expect a perfect world of technology because they are human, 
too. Anyway, that's my rant for today.

ones.

Someone else had the same problem and she called Apple. I also had the same

us are having a problem with that. I changed it to the male American Apple had 
suggested to the other person to change it to a British voice. So it’s up to 
you but whatever when you change it and it should work. Apparently with the 
next update this should be resolved.

Hello all,
For some reason Siri has quit speaking. I have tried pressing the volume up 
after asking her a question and all that seems to do is raise the volume of the 
phone but not Siri. I have also tried rebooting my phone and that did not help. 
What else can I try to get her speaking again? I am using the latest iOS update 
on a iPhone 10S.

Thanks,
Greg Wocher
