RE: package tracking apps?

2021-02-01 Thread Don Moore
You can get messages from the UPS app, but I also use the Parcel app because 
you can be notified where your package is in the delivery track.  The only 
thing it doesn’t track is Amazon logistics.  I think it’s around $3 a year, but 
well worth it.

Re: Anyone Having Issues with BARD App?

2021-02-01 Thread Wayne Merritt
Hello. I have been prompted to log-in when I go to the BARD website
option in the Get Books tab, but I am not prompted when accessing
other items in that tab. As others have said, when prompted to log-in,
my credentials are already there, so I just hit the Log-In button and
get in, and then I can do what I want. As a side note, one possible
benefit to being on the cloud with BARD is the ability to play books
on multiple devices. This is something I know people have been asking
about for a while, or at least more syncing between devices. This
would also help when getting a new device, and not having to download
your books all over again.

Make the Most of Braille on iOS Devices with the Braillists Foundation, Tomorrow at 7:30 PM UK Time

2021-02-01 Thread Matthew Horspool
Hello everyone,
Did you know you can use your iPhone from your pocket in conjunction with your 
braille display? Do you know about braille displays and iOS devices, but don't 
know where to get started? Have you heard about Braille Screen Input, but never 
quite got the hang of how to use it?
If you've always wanted answers to these questions and more, the Braillists 
Foundation can help! Tomorrow (2 February), join us on Zoom at 7:30 PM in the 
UK for a session entitled "Using Braille on iOS". Led by Matthew Horspool, an 
experienced iOS user and braille expert, we'll find out how to pair a braille 
display with an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and how to get the most out of using 
braille with these devices. We will also introduce you to Braille Screen Input.
The session is completely free of charge, will last an hour (ending at 8:30 PM 
in the UK), and there will be plenty of time for questions. If you'd like to 
join us, please register at: 
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwoceivqz8rGtbEERfYGlXFSR2eIqx-oc9o
If this time isn't convenient for you, fear not: the session will be recorded 
and made available at: https://www.braillists.org/media
It will also be published via our Braillecast podcast - simply search for 
"Braillecast" in your podcast client of choice, or ask your smart speaker to 
"play Braillecast". We are also available on the Victor Reader range of DAISY 
players and the internet radios from British Wireless for the Blind.
Registering for this session also entitles you to attend other sessions in our 
Tuesday evening series. For more information, please visit: 
https://www.braillists.org/events
If you have any questions about the session or are struggling to register, 
please email h...@braillists.org
If you would prefer to attend by telephone, the Meeting ID is: 885 6175 4102
We very much look forward to welcoming you to a Braillists event soon - and if 
you know someone else who's not on this list, but who might nonetheless 
appreciate hearing about these sessions, please spread the word!
Best wishes,
Matthew Horspool
on behalf of the Braillists Foundation

I know that turning off Full Keyboard Access in Keyboard Settings fixed focus

The difference is you can choose to pay the yearly amount which you mentioned 
or pay by the month which I think is $9.99 but am not sure of the exact amount

 Hello Jenny,
 
 Tallahassee is the Capital of Florida.  I am certain that they offer 
 excellent service in that city.
 
 I live in a tiny suburb of nowhere and they offer delivery service from 
 stores as far away as 15 miles; this is to say, stores located in the 
 much, much larger city.
 
 One more thing that impresses me is that both the InstaCart Apple apps and 
 website, itself, offer accessibility features for low vision customers, as 
 well as for those who are totally blind.
 
 Very, very nice.

 I have been using Instacart for about three years now.
 It is a great tool to have and I have only had a couple of instances where 
 I have not received everything that I ordered or the item was wrong.
 I have found that the customer service of the app is wonderful. If you’re 
 missing items or something is wrong, they will refund you it just takes a 
 little time. The app is great.

Qardio app verry slow

2021-02-01 Thread Dan

  
  
Hi all,

  
Since the latest update to the Qardio app
I am seeing an extreme sluggishness when trying to use it to
take my BP.  Are any of you out there who also use this app
seeing the same behavior?

  
Thanks.

Re: A Very Good Experience with Using InstaCart for iOS

2021-02-01 Thread Traci Duncan
Hi all, I’ve been looking at Instacart recently and have some more questions. 
First, it is great to hear about the accessibility.

I think they are offering 2 services now. Instacart express for $99 a year. Can 
folks explain the differences? 

Do you shop at one store at a time per order? 

I have heard of service fees for alcohol delivery. Can anyone shed light on 
that?

Are tips built in?

Lastly, how are you finding customizations or preferences? Say you want your 
bananas on the green side. Or you want your potatoes to weigh around 10oz.

Thank you,
Traci

RE: mistake

2021-02-01 Thread Richard Turner
This is why I always read the descriptions in the app store before downloading 
apps.  Here is the description for Body Temperature:
Description
Track body temperature. Take care of yourself.

Simple beautiful app for your health.


Save your data to Apple Health or get your temperature from Apple Health. See 
the beautiful graphs and stats.


Connect your smart bluetooth thermometer to track the temperature.
Disclaimer: App measurements are just recommendations and can't be used for 
diagnostics or medical purpose. Always seek a doctor's advice before making any 
medical decisions.


* You see it says you have to have a Smart Bluetooth thermometer ... and if you 
did, VoiceOver would likely speak the plus sign as an Add button.

Perhaps you should check for the infrared thermometers that talk so no app is 
required.  Check out Independent Living Aids or LS products.

Richard

Ralph's Observation:  It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object<>to

Re: Can No Longer get iPhone to speak zero punctuation

Hi, 

This sounds like the Voiceover "activity" bug. Try:
1. Go to Settings/Accessibility/Voiceover/Activities
2. Double tap on the "Programming" activity
3. Double tap on the "verbosity" setting
4. Set "punctuation" to none

I am assuming you are running IOS 14.x. This should fix your problem. This is a 
known bug but it would help if you report it to Apple. The more folk who do, 
the higher the priority to fix it will rise.

You do realize you need a Bluetooth body thermometer with this app? I don't 
think there are just apps which can give you your body temperature with just

Maybe more information might help, e.g. which thermometer do you have and
