Re: Bose frames

['Harry Bell' via VIPhone]

I have the tempo frames and I bought the extra orange lenses to protect my 
retina. Swapping out the original black lenses was extremely difficult, so 
beware if you plan to try this! Otherwise, the frames are brilliant

RE: Accessible stereo receiver with analog inputs with app or home kit?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

The Sonos Amp has 1 set of RCA analogue inputs and an HDMI input so it may not 
be what Matthew is looking for if he wants multiple RCA inputs. Of course it 
all depends on your approach to music nowadays, I find that with an Apple Music 
subscription or, if you prefer, one from Spotify, Deezer or other music 
service, there is little need for analogue sources such as CD players, but that 
is still everybody's own and very subjective decision to make. I have Sonos 
stuff all over the house and for me just asking whatever I want to play to play 
from Apple Music is the ultimate in convenience.

Have a look at the sonos amp,

But really you're looking for a home theatre system which should do what you 
want and if you get the speakers you want it could sound good as well.

Subject: Accessible stereo receiver with analog inputs with app or home kit?

Kind of a long subject line, but I'm looking for a stereo receiver with several 
analog RCA inputs, able to be controlled either by an accessible home kit 
interface or an app. Most of the articles I am reading are focussing on home 
theater setup with massive surround sound features and video inputs. I think 
about the fanciest I would get is one where you could have two sets of stereo 
speakers playing the same thing. I read where a Marantz has an option to stream 
to a Bluetooth speaker, so that could be an option for my second listening 
area. This stereo is going to be used for things like turntables, cassette 
decks and reel to reel machines, all input through RCA. I'm not sure if any 
options already come with speakers, but I would want to upgrade the ones I have 
now.
Thanks for any suggesttions on a very overwhelming subject.
Matthew

The tempo have the best battery life out of them so far, with an 8 hour

There is also the  Tenor,
which is a standard form of sun glasses,
Square / rectangular lens and a 5 to 6 hour battery life.
The tenors are meant to be a format of fashion sun glasses, for men,

There is also the seprano which is more for women as it has the somewhat 
tear drop shaped lens
Again more of a fashion item for women and a 5 to 6 hour battery,
By tear drop I mean they  go up in to a sort of tight pointy end at the edge 
by the arm connection.


I've got both the tempo and tenor,
They are both great and the tenors I wear most of the time while I'm out and

I can't really find an issue with them other than the battery could be 
longer but then where would you put it and if I wasn't wearing them every 
day then the battery would probably last longer.

RE: Bose frames

[Simon A Fogarty]

I have them and use them like this however depending on the volume of the audio 
you are listening to and the traffic around you 
It might not be always a good thing to have audio playing.

I've come close a couple  of times to being hit due to not hearing the vehicles 
and the volume wasn't that loud on my tenors or tempos.

But they are a great headset for doing what you are looking for.

RE: Accessible stereo receiver with analog inputs with app or home kit?

[Simon A Fogarty]

Have a look at the sonos amp,

But really you're looking for a home theatre system which should do what you 
want and if you get the speakers you want it could sound good as well.

Subject: Accessible stereo receiver with analog inputs with app or home kit?

Kind of a long subject line, but I'm looking for a stereo receiver with several 
analog RCA inputs, able to be controlled either by an accessible home kit 
interface or an app. Most of the articles I am reading are focussing on home 
theater setup with massive surround sound features and video inputs. I think 
about the fanciest I would get is one where you could have two sets of stereo 
speakers playing the same thing. I read where a Marantz has an option to stream 
to a Bluetooth speaker, so that could be an option for my second listening 
area. This stereo is going to be used for things like turntables, cassette 
decks and reel to reel machines, all input through RCA. I'm not sure if any 
options already come with speakers, but I would want to upgrade the ones I have 
now.
Thanks for any suggesttions on a very overwhelming subject.

Re: Bose frames

I bought the Bose Tempo Frames a few months ago and have no regrets. The 
sound is phenomenal and the call quality great. Very easy to operate and 
folks say they look great also. I am very happy with them.

Hello All, can I ask for your opinions on the Bose Frames that will not
block my hearing during my walks?  I believe that there is another headset
by Bose do not cover your ears also.  I need something that sounds great so
I can use Goodmaps and soundscape and some other apps.  What I am doing now
is, I have my I Phone in my backpack on the strap.  It works well but, I
would like to have a bit more privacy but at the same time have total
ability of hearing traffic and other sounds around me.  Although I mentioned
Bose, it doesn't need to be.  I just want a quality piece of equipment that
will be comfortable and sounds great and looks good.  Thanks so much for
your time and any suggestions.  Andy and Leroy

RE: Accessible stereo receiver with analog inputs with app or home kit?

[Richard Turner]

You may want to consider the Sonos Amp.
But I've never had my hands on it which I would want to do if it were me before 
buying or making sure you could return it easily.
You might check with any local audio/video stores to see if they carry Sonos 
and could get one in to check out.

If you subscribe to the Applevis podcast, Thomas Donneville did one which 
appeared this past Monday describing and demonstrating the native podcasts app 
on the iPhone.

I haven't lisgtened to the whole episode yet, but from what I've heard so far, 
he seems to do a great job of explaining a d demonstrating the features.

seeking Spell Checker

[Vicki W.]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a medical spell checker which can be added to IOS 
that works across programs? In other words, instead of purchasing a medical 
spell checker as you would for programs like Word on a computer, can you 
purchase one that will work for most programs on IOS such as messaging, e-mail, 
etc.?

Maybe something that can be added to the spell checker program that the 
operating system uses as you would in Windows?

Thanks.

Hello. I'd like to know if it is possible to ask a question on the Facebook

Thanks for any information in advance.

Re: Native podcasts app

[William Outman]

I don’t see a settings tab within the app. I went into Podcasts under the phone 
settings and found episode display, but it doesn’t look like the full menu of 
choices you were describing. Still confusing.

RE: Native podcasts app

[deidreandlouise]

It should be a setting you change in Settigs under Podcasts. Or maybe it is in 
the Settings Tab in the Podcast App. It's there that you choose options to 
download, be notified, only see most recent episode, see oldest to newest, etc.

Native Podcasts app

[William Outman]

I am having trouble navigating episode lists in the native Podcasts app. I used 
to know how to do this, and don’t know if I am forgetting a step or if there is 
a new bug in the process with VoiceOver. 
My example is searching for Airacast, which I found but could only see the most 
recent episode. I see that this year’s episodes are listed but can’t navigate 
to any others even when I use the see all button. 
I just upgraded to 14.5 on my iPhone 8 Plus.

RE: Performing tasks on iPhone, while taking part in a phone call.

[Carolyn]

O agree that the distraction of VoiceOver with a caller would be no different 
with earbuds or speaker.

Subject: RE: Performing tasks on iPhone, while taking part in a phone call.

As long as I am somewhere where having the call on speakerphone doesn't bother 
anybody it is not difficult to just take the phone away from your ear which 
causes the call to go to speakerphone (as long as you haven't disabled this 
feature). Then just swipe up from the bottom just like you would when you want 
to go from any app back to the home page, you can then open the Messages app or 
Contacts or any other app and do whatever you want to do while you are talking 
to the other person on speakerphone. I have never had anybody ask me what I am 
doing which means the microphone does not seem to pick up Voiceover, but if you 
find it distracting to have both the caller and Voiceover on speaker you can of 
course use a headset except then you have both the caller and Voiceover on the 
headset which to me is no different than having both on the external speaker.

Hi, Carolyn.  You can do this, but it is tricky.  I usually use a headset as 
has been suggested.  I also try to adjust the volume of voice over so there's a 
way to hear both the speech and the caller.  Sometimes it helps to use a male 
voice if speaking to a female and vice versa. You should be able to do all of 
the things you listed while on a phone call.  I've gotten texts before, and 
depending on the volume, the Voice over usually drowns out the person's 
speaking.  Like I said, it does take some practice.

RE: Speaking of smart thermostats...

[Sieghard Weitzel]

You should look a the Lyric series of Honeywell thermostats like the T6, T9, 
T10 etc., they use the Honeywell Home app which is quite accessible. I haven't 
played around with the schedule much because my wife and I are not keeping a 
schedule to the point where it would even make sense to set one up. We also 
have our Honeywell T5, this I think is a discontinued model, but it was very 
inexpensive at $99 at the time) connected to Alexa so whenever we want to 
change the temperature we simply ask Alexa to do so.

BTW, I just took another stab at the scheduling feature in the Total Connect 
Comfort app that works with Honeywell thermostats, and I was able to adjust it 
with a little tedious double checking.
But it is better than it was and it is mostly accessible.

Hi Mike,

We have had a VIP Talking Thermostat for years, well actually we have probably 
had three or four of them due to issues with them.  It is again not working 
well, so we are now investigating smart thermostats.

Just curious, which smart thermostat do you have, and what do you find less 
workable about it?

Thanks,
Pam

Hi Tracy,

We have 2 homes and we have a smart thermostat in 1, and a VIP talking 
thermostat in the other.  If we were to stay in 1 place I would choose the VIP 
Talking Thermostat because of its ease of use and the speaking confirmation of 
setting changes and instructions.

Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

We have a Honeywell model that works quite well.  The schedule section of the 
app is difficult/not worth using with VoiceOver.

But, Once the program is set, you can do adjustments quite easily.

The Ecobee looks like a tech geeks dream but who wants music coming out of 
their thermostat, really?

Check with your utility company, they may have some great deals on smart 
thermostats.

I do not know, even with ours, if you can use Alexa to set a schedule.  I have 
not tried that as I am spoiled by having a sighted wife to do those things.


The one down side of smart thermostats is that if your internet goes down, you 
would have to be able to use the controls on the device to make adjustments.
But, it will still work on the schedule I believe.
HTH,

Hi all, I’m in the market for an accessible thermostat. I cannot decide between 
a smart one or replacing my talking model. What has been your experience with 
smart thermostats and their apps? Some of the below models in the article seem 
way too feature rich for my needs. I mainly want to set programs, be able to 
adjust temperature, or turn off the system.

Thanks for any assistance. Hope you find the article useful.

Hi Richard,
I only have the one language as my default. I’ve never added language to the 
rotor either.  Although, in the rotor a female’s  voice says English default, I 
swipe up again, then a male’s voice says Australia, I swipe up again then  
another female’s voice says US English.  I think I made some kind of headway 
when I went in to the language and region settings though, because at least it 
now says in the rotor US English default instead of saying Australia default.  
Although, I went back in to the language and region settings, and the default 
was set to Australian.   I selected English US as default, and I got a message 
saying if I select US English, this setting will restart my phone, I still 
selected the US English, but the phone didn’t restart, and I didn’t get any 
message to confirm this setting such as saving the setting, so I just closed it 
out.  I went back and sure enough, US English is not set as my default though.  
Although now in the rotor I do hear the US language, but the two other 
languages are still there, and rather I’m  reading the news, or just swiping 
the voices will suddenly change!  I only know one language and that is US 
English, that is wy I wouldn’t have added language to the rotor.  Apple says 
they haven’t heard anyone else talking about this issue that I’m having!  Can 
you imagine!  LOL!  This isn’t good!

You cannot remove language from the rotor, it appears if you have more than one 
language selected, that is, a rotor language as well as the default language.
So, if you only have the default voice, my understanding is, you should not see 
Language in the rotor.

Just move focus away from the Language rotor. You can't remove the language 
rotor, as soon as you have more than one language installed it's there so the 
only way would be to delete all other languages except for Samantha if that 
what you want to use.

RE: Performing tasks on iPhone, while taking part in a phone call.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

As long as I am somewhere where having the call on speakerphone doesn't bother 
anybody it is not difficult to just take the phone away from your ear which 
causes the call to go to speakerphone (as long as you haven't disabled this 
feature). Then just swipe up from the bottom just like you would when you want 
to go from any app back to the home page, you can then open the Messages app or 
Contacts or any other app and do whatever you want to do while you are talking 
to the other person on speakerphone. I have never had anybody ask me what I am 
doing which means the microphone does not seem to pick up Voiceover, but if you 
find it distracting to have both the caller and Voiceover on speaker you can of 
course use a headset except then you have both the caller and Voiceover on the 
headset which to me is no different than having both on the external speaker.

Hi, Carolyn.  You can do this, but it is tricky.  I usually use a headset as 
has been suggested.  I also try to adjust the volume of voice over so there's a 
way to hear both the speech and the caller.  Sometimes it helps to use a male 
voice if speaking to a female and vice versa. You should be able to do all of 
the things you listed while on a phone call.  I've gotten texts before, and 
depending on the volume, the Voice over usually drowns out the person's 
speaking.  Like I said, it does take some practice.
