When  you type in "Light Detector", do you then review the results or do you 
actually tap the "Search" button at the bottom right of the screen?

Hi,

At least by my devices here in the USA it's definitely not the first search 
result with or without quotes. I find that strangely fascinating but can find 
no causality for why that is so. Still I for one like having choices and 
backups in case one stops working and the power to choose makes the world great.

Take good care,

Hi,

That's how I found it I searched for the developer instead of its name and

RE: A Big Hello and General Personal Apple-Related Updates from Mark

[tai.tomasi8]

Counterpoint: despite plugging things into surge protectors, I have had several 
routers and modems destroyed by lightning during thunderstorms. I  would not 
want to be replacing those routers and modems out of pocket, so I gladly rent 
the equipment. Also, it is easier to upgrade to newer equipment when you are 
renting it from the cable company, and it only costs a few bucks a month for 
me.

Re: changes with voicedream apps

[Ivan Icin]

Let’s bring some facts together:

The iOS app is subscription based since April 23th, so it is almost three 
months now. 

It has started with 60$/year price. 

In the meantime they have tried many price points from 40$/year to 
100$/year, even selling at multiple different prices at the same time. 

At the moment they seem to have settled to the 80$/year price, though at 
least to some extent 100$/year price was still active fairly recently. 
Other price points were not active for quite a time. 

Those are facts.

Apple Wallet on the Apple Watch?

[Tom Cramer]

Hello,

I have recently started to use the Apple Wallet app on my iPhone, and
I like it. I know I can also use it on my Apple Watch. However, I
figured that if all of my information is on my phone, it could also be
on my watch. I went through settings and through the app itself, and
that doesn't seem to be the case. Am I missing something here? Is
there a way that my watch can have the same information as my phone so
that I can see things like my card or my apple cash or whatever else?
How could I do this?

RE: light detector

[Sieghard Weitzel]

When I searched for "Light Detector" it was the first search result.
Anyways, it sounds like ti does exactly the same as the Light Detection channel 
fo seeing AI so for me having just one app, Seeing AI, which can do what Light 
Dector does and so much more is my preference.

Hi,

That's how I found it I searched for the developer instead of its name and 
found it that way. Now that it's back those that had it already might see it 
once again in their purchased apps. I looked on the app's page to see if there 
was contact info for its developer but alas there didn't seem to be any. So 
while i"m glad for news of its return I'm still glad to know of other options 
just in case it should disappear again for any number of reasons not the least 
of which being that one day it might not be compatible with an iOS update. 
Still I'm glad to have it back in my toolbox of available tools for now.

Take good care,

Robin

Hi Gradimir,

It looks like Seeing Assistant Home has had quite a bit of good development 
since I first tried it several years ago.

I do have a question.  It took a lot of digging through the tutorial to find 
the below section concerning the limitations of the light version which I 
copied from the tutorial.
My question is, and I guess it is two questions, What is the cost of the 
non-light version and how does one find that version?
I found nothing about in-app purchases in the app store or in the app.


Limitations of LITE version

LITE version of Seeing Assistant Home has several limitations, such as:

  1.  Lack of Dropbox support,
  2.  Only 5 codes can be created,
  3.  Only 10 characters can be embedded in QR code,
  4.  Lack of voice commands,
  5.  Magnifying glass and Light Detector can be used only 1 minute every day.

Warnings and disclaimer

Seeing Assistant Home uses internet connection to work. If you are not 
connected to WiFi network or do not have internet plan data transfer might 
result in additional costs. Transition Technologies is not responsible for any 
loss or additional costs resulting when using Seeing Assistant Home.

RE: light detector

[Richard Turner]

Sadly, Boop Light Detector seems to be gone from the app store.

I have this app as well and went through the list of my purchases in the app 
store and it was not found.

I found an entry from 2016 on applevis.com talking about it and that link to 
the app store tries to take you to Apple Music.  It was developed by students 
at MIT, so my guess is it has been dropped from the app store by Apple.

 

I even found a GetHub link, but that page's link to the app store is also dead.

 

Too bad, it is a nice alternative, but it is no longer available.

RE: changes with voicedream apps

IN a few weeks, we should find out what the actual price will be.  

I guess we should give them time to sort out their pricing structure.  I'm 
hopeful it will end up being lower than it is showing right now.

Changes with Voice Dream apps

Have you heard the news? Learn about the changes and new names for our beloved 
Voice Dream apps!

Voice Dream Reader logo



Have you heard the news? The beloved Voice Dream apps are changing! The 
original developer, Winston Chen has turned Voice Dream Reader over to the 
Applause Group, a company able to sustain Voice Dream Reader. The name has been 
changed to Text to Speech TTS Voice Dream. TTS Voice Dream enables you to 
listen to PDFs, Web pages, and books using text-to-speech.

Note: On April 25, 2023, Voice Dream Reader became a subscription-based app for 
$59.99 per year. A free trial was available.

Voice Dream Scanner and Voice Dream Writer remain with Winston; although, he 
has formed a new company, Opus Noma and the app names have been changed to 
VDScan and VDWrite. VDScan is an OCR app used to scan inaccessible PDF or text 
image and converts the text to an accessible document that can be read by a 
screen reader. VDWrite is a text-to-speech writing app that reduces mistakes, 
helps you use the right words, and helps organize and improve the structure of 
your writing.

Winston’s press release

Dear Customers, Partners, and Friends,

I am delighted to announce that Voice Dream Reader has joined Applause Group as 
a leading product in their portfolio of apps.

Voice Dream Reader started 12 years ago as a side project during my sabbatical 
in Arctic Norway. Since then, it has evolved into the best text-to-speech 
reader, helping hundreds of thousands of people worldwide read for learning and 
fun. Winning Apple Design Award in 2021 was the crowning achievement of my 
professional life.

But I could not have done it without the users. You constantly provided me with 
ideas for improvements and inspired me with your personal stories of how Reader 
changed your lives. And I could not have done it without my partners and 
friends who supported me at every step. For that, I will be forever grateful.

While I look at the past with nostalgia, I also look to the future with 
excitement. Applause Group is committed to investing in Reader and turning it 
into a household name. It will be stewarded by a sustainable company instead of 
being completely dependent on me. And that is good news for everyone who relies 
on Reader every day.

With Reader going to a new home, Voice Dream Scanner and Writer will remain 
with me under a different company, Opus Noma. (Noma stands for my children Nora 
and Marcus.) And they will be renamed to VDScan and VDWrite. My new email 
address is   winston.c...@opusnoma.com.

Happy reading, as we all look forward to a bright future.

Winston
