Sounds great.

If you haven’t, do delete the app and download the new version.

 

Then, let her know how it goes at walkassist@gmail.com

The WalkAssist app is now back in the app store and has some improvements for 
newer phones where it had a slow response time.  You may find you have to 
redownload the app even if you have the old version still on your phone.

They are working on making it also work in Portrait mode.

Here is the description from the app store and the link.

Description

WalkAssist recognizes traffic related objects(crosswalk signal, crosswalk, and 
traffic signals) and alerts you through voice alerts.
 Use it with a harness 
for the best results. The voice will only work if your ringer is on. Note that 
the current version only works in landscape mode on most devices(this will be 
fixed soon in the next version). It is not a substitute for your orientation 
and mobility skills. It does not replace you current mobility aid, but is 
rather intended to act as an additional aid to enhance your orientation and 
navigation skills.

 

Please be aware of your surroundings while using the app. It is your 
responsibility to maintain your personal safety at all times while using 
WalkAssist.

RE: An AppleTV Question

[Richard Turner]

Karen,
It looks doubtful from a quick bit of web browsing.
You can airplay from your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac so whatever you are 
browsing on the other Apple device is shown on the TV.

It appears that no web browser is available on the Apple TV, at least not the 
newest one.
If you find Safari on the menu on an older model of Apple TV, then you will be 
able to do that, but I doubt that will be the case.

HTH,

Prior to leaving home you reckon which would be the best time of day to

it so it would pick me up between 1135 and 1145 since I have to be there by 12.

A similar thing happened to me. I was going to church on Sunday, it’s usually 
about a six dollar to seven dollar fare, but they wanted $42-$43 for 3/4 of a 
mile. I just waited and booked directly instead of doing a schedule. And I paid 
less than six dollars. They charge a little bit more usually 10% more or so by 
doing scheduling, but 42 or $43. They can have that

The place I need to go to on Saturday it’s only 11 minutes away and I wanted to 
schedule the ride in advance and UberX is selected and they wanted to charge me 
either $43 or $49. Could it be that I’m scheduling the trip too soon? Because

Re: Using iPhone to shoot and edit video

[joseph hudson]

Lisa, I would like to apologize firstly for replying so late to this message. 
As far as the resizing, you can adjust the video, if you send it to them in an 
email. It will allow you to resize it when you adjust who you're going to send 
it to you. As far as the stop and start, I believe there is a stop and start 
button in the camera app. I know there is one in the voice recorders app and 
you can go back and edit the recording.

RE: Hay Siri.

[Carolyn]

You know, while it is still working, I decided to retrack myself, could not 
find Always Listen. I checked the instructions here, and again went to Siri and 
Search. I didn't find it, but Hay Siri is working, and I hope this does not 
happen again. 

Thanks for help.

At the top of the screen is a heading for "Ask Siri".  There are 2 items you

Listen for Hey Siri
Press Home for Siri

There are other things you can set below these items.

The 

WalkAssist is back in the app store! Request from developer

[Richard Turner]

Greetings,

The creator of the WalkAssist app would appreciate people giving the new 
version a try and sending her feedback at: walkassist@gmail.com 
 

 

The WalkAssist app is now back in the app store and has some improvements for 
newer phones where it had a slow response time.  You may find you have to 
redownload the app even if you have the old version still on your phone.

They are working on making it also work in Portrait mode.

Here is the description from the app store and the link.

Description

WalkAssist recognizes traffic related objects(crosswalk signal, crosswalk, and 
traffic signals) and alerts you through voice alerts.
 Use it with a harness 
for the best results. The voice will only work if your ringer is on. Note that 
the current version only works in landscape mode on most devices(this will be 
fixed soon in the next version). It is not a substitute for your orientation 
and mobility skills. It does not replace you current mobility aid, but is 
rather intended to act as an additional aid to enhance your orientation and 
navigation skills.

 

Please be aware of your surroundings while using the app. It is your 
responsibility to maintain your personal safety at all times while using 
WalkAssist.

more

What’s New

Version History, Jul 22, 2022,  Version 1.1

Increased frequency of voice alerts & problems with latest phone models not 
recognizing objects have been fixed

Re: Euber help please.

[Kathy Brandt]

It used to be more straightforward, but now in Uber you double tap on the 
bottom of the screen where it says to meet your driver at the pick up point for 
your address. That opens up an area where among other things you will see call 
your driver or message driver. I message them all  the time this way. You are 
doing this after you have set up your trip.

RE: Euber help please.

[chrisjudge1967]

I’ve thought of changing my profile photo to one of me holding my cane. This 
should work, with some drivers anyway. The exceptions would be those who 
mistook the cane for a pool cue.

hi, everyone, I do exactly the same thing. Whether I am home or out, I always 
tell the driver that I am blind and I would appreciate it if he or she would 
blow their horn when they arrive. Take care everyone. Esther

I’ve done that and it usually works. It would still be nice to add it to your 
profile so the driver is automatically informed.

I’d like to know as well. I don’t think there is a way to do it but if someone
