Re: Google home app

2023-08-08 Thread Tali Sarnetzky

I know. It can be annoying.

Here are the steps from my search online:
Open the Google Home app .
Tap and hold your device's tile.
Tap Settings. Device information.
Tap Wi-Fi. Forget This network.
Return to the Google Home app home screen and follow the setup steps
above to connect your device to a new Wi-Fi network.

I hope this helps.

You might have to do it from the app on the phone. There are a lot of
things that can be changed from there.
Unless you need to reset your device. I did that once, but cannot

Try turning the rotor to adjust value then flick up or down. Sometimes the item

RE: Tracking distance walked

2023-08-08 Thread Cristóbal Muñoz

I use my wife’s old Fitbit charge as she’s now an Apple watch user. I strap it 
to my ankle and forget about it. The ankle thing is actually pretty accurate, 
but the heart rate monitor feature isn’t reliable when you put it down there. 
The Fitbit unit itself isn’t accessible, but the iOS app is completely VO 
accessible. Very handy as I have a treadmill as well as an exercise bike.

I also use the vibrating alarm feature as my alarm in the morning so I don’t 
wake up my wife who is absolutely not a morning person

Apple Music quietly added one of Spotify’s best features but made it better

Apple Music quietly added one of Spotify’s best features but made it better
TechRadar - All the latest technology news


It hasn't officially been announced yet, but Apple Music has a cool new feature 
that's designed to help you discover more music that you'll love. The new 
Discovery Station is live now, which means you can access it through your 
iPhone, iPad and in the web app on your Mac for most Apple Music subscribers.

The new personalized playlist is very similar to the Discovery Weekly feature 
in Spotify, making Apple even more competitive in the best music streaming 
service space. It sits next to 'Your name's' Station, but instead of playing 
music that's already in your library it plays music that it thinks you'll want 
to add to your library.

To access the Discovery Station playlist, go into the Apple Music app, select 
the Listen Now tab and then scroll down till you see the Stations for You 
section, which is where you'll find the new playlist tailored to your listening 
history.

What does the Discovery Station in Apple Music do?

The Discovery Station is an auto-generated playlist that analyzes your 
listening history to suggest new music. For me, that means moving from Lana Del 
Rey remixes I hadn't heard before to Maggie Rogers, Limp Bizkit – I'm blaming 
my eldest for that one – Self Esteem and Miley Cyrus before heading down a 
stadium rock direction.

It does appear to be picking up some songs that are in my library already, and 
I suspect that's because it considers special editions as separate albums. For 
example, it played me U2's The Miracle of Joey Ramone from Songs Of Innocence, 
but from a different version of the album U2 that Apple stuck on my iPod back 
in 2014. Ironically enough, I didn't like the song back then and I don't like 
it any more now.

It's still early days for the Discovery Station and I suspect like most 
algorithmic things it'll improve over time by remembering what you play on 
repeat or skip. At the moment, it appears to be assuming that everything in my 
library is equally good and equally desirable, and as I've had that library for 
decades now that really isn't the case. 

There are bands and artists in there I haven't listened to in years because my 
musical tastes have moved on. And if, like me, you listen to quite a lot of 
genres of music, the jumps between songs can be a bit jarring, such as the 
aforementioned jump from sad girl bangers to nu-metal. But I think it's a good 
station to have on while you do something else, and it's already introduced me 
to a bunch of new favorites.

Re: I Continue to Appreciate the Accessibility of Apple Home Kit

2023-08-08 Thread Dave Grossoehme

Steve how many heat pump and furnace usits do you have running for the 
home?  I have 2 unitsd in my home 1 for upstairs and 1 for the 
downstairs.  I have an Ecobee Smart thermostat for upstairs and 
downstairs.  You can ask for the upstairs temperature or downstairs 
temperature or the temperature in the home.  If upstairs temperature is 
ask for you receive the temperature for that floor, and the same for 
downstairs.  If you ask for the home temperature from either thermostat 
you will receive an average temperature.  There are additional sensors 
which help to keep the temperature the same throughout the house.

I think this brand was also mentioned in the iMore review I just posted.
I am also curious if anybody on the list has a mini-split heat pump system with 
multiple indoor heads. We just installed such a system and it's fantastic as we 
now get air conditioning as well as heating and with temperatures climbing 
higher and higher each year it seems the air conditioning is definitely a nice 
option. However, as there are 4 independent units in the house (bedroom and 
living room upstairs as well as our guest bedroom and family/rec room 
downstairs) a single thermostat somewhat defeats the purpose although I believe 
you can link the units to various smart thermostats. At this point it's not a 
critical issue because each unit comes with a remote control and for the most 
part you just need to turn it on and then there is a toggle like a volume 
rocker where you can turn the temperature up or down. Of course the temperature 
is displayed on the remote so I haven't checked yet if an app like Seeing Ai 
can read it.
There is also an app, the system is from the company Daikins, and while I have 
figured out how to use the app it is certainly not what you could call 
accessible. The installer helped me to figure it out, I was able to label a few 
unlabelled buttons and the labels also seem to stick, so like I said, it's 
useable for changing temperatures and so on, but I definitely still have to 
contact the developer and see if they are open towards improving accessibility. 
I assume it might be possible to link each unit's built-in thermostat to an 
external smart thermostat, but if I needed to buy 4 smart thermostats that 
could get pretty expensive. I am intriqued by the option to add room sensors to 
the Ecobee Premium or the Honeywell T9, but I have to find out if it would be 
possible for the Ecobee to then turn on any of the 4 indoor units independently 
if it receives a signal from the sensor in that room That of course would be 
amazing, but it might be too much to expect.

Best refgards,
Sieghard

Original Post:
I’ve had a Sensi model st55 for 2 years now. Be sure you get this cheaper 
$80.00, model available from Amazon.  It has buttons that control selecting 
heat or air conditioning and changing the temperature and more.  It also works 
with Alexa and there is an app for I Phone and I think, Android.
Note, the more expensive model is flat screen only.  No buttons.  The buttons 
are important for a blind person to use the thermostat in case your internet 
goes down.

The $80.00, thermostat with buttons is model ST55.  Here is an Amazon link.

I continue to truly appreciate the temperature control I now enjoy via iOS and

Greetings,

My contact with the Applause Group told me the following and asked that I share 
the news.

In response to people's concerns about not knowing if their emails to 
supp...@voicedream.com  , were being read, Voice 
Dream Llc. Has hired a full time support person who is starting today.

So, responses should be improving once the new person gets up to speed.

 

I've noticed they have been implementing some things people have requested like 
a search field in the Manage Voices screen so you can search for a voice or 
manufacturer.  Along with including all the voices.

 

Remember, patience is a virtue.

 

HTH,

I am finding their support people very responsive.

I tried the Siri command that is supposed to get it to play your forecast, but 
Siri just spoke it.

I wrote them and the developer said the command should be "Hey Siri, play my 
forecast on Weatherology."  But he tried it several times and got the same 
response I did, so he is working on that.

That response was within about half a day.  I don't know exactly where their 
staff is located, but that is really excellent responsiveness in my book.

Subject: Tracking distance walked

 

Hi,

 

I have Blind Square, Good Maps Outdoors, and Apple Maps on my iPhone.  I would 
like to use one of them to measure the distance I have walked.  Is there a way 
to do that?

 

Thanks.

Subject: Weatherology iOS app

Thanks to Dennis Long for recommending this app.

I have added its details to my web site.  I'm copying what I put on my site 
below which includes the link to the app store.

Weatherology Mobile, LLC., free

I had tried this app some years ago. They have been udpating it, and now it 
works well with VoiceOver, at least for the forecast info. IN the 7.9 version, 
in settings, if you double tap on details instead of the simple forecast, it 
doesn't say selected, but it is. That should be fixed in the next update. Their 
customer support is excellent!

Description from the app store:
The first weather app that fully integrates into your home and car with 
real-time audio weather reports and emergency weather notifications; 
personalized for you.
We take weather to another level.
Our patented technology delivers real-time audio weather reports to your 
location.
It's voice-activated: Ask Weatherology for the latest forecast.
At home. In your car. On your phone.
It's real-time. With up-to-the-minute weather updates including the latest 
watches, warnings, advisories, and bulletins. We alert you with relevant 
weather notifications to keep you informed.
It's real people, not voice simulation: Select your favorite weather talent, 
and they provide real-time weather reports on demand.
It's accurate and personalized for your location.
The technology is new, but the Weatherology team has been around for 34 years. 
We have contributed to more award-winning local weather broadcasts than our 
largest competitors combined.
Apple CarPlay audio apps must be voice-activated and offer audio capabilities 
only, which is exactly what our app does. With the exception of navigation 
apps, content such as weather maps and radar are currently prohibited from 
being displayed as content on the dashboard. We are focused on creating the 
best hands-free audio experience in vehicles in accordance with Apple 
CarPlay guidelines.
Although our expertise is audio, we are meteorologists, so we offer all the 
tools you need to stay informed. Up-to-the-minute radar that loads quickly and 
zooms in to your specific location. Storm vectors that illustrate current storm 
location and storm movement.
We offer current weather advisory graphics with up-to-the-minute audio weather 
details for each bulletin.
Hourly and 7-day forecast displays.
Weather conditions from around the world.
With Apple CarPlay, Weatherology provides a hands-free, safe way to get the 
latest weather in your car.
At home, have a real meteorologist provide your forecast with details for your 
location unmatched by synthetic voices currently available through Smart 
Speakers.
Automobile safety is priority number one and our app is the only weather app 
that discourages distractions in your vehicle.

As of version 7.9, the Forecasts are fully accessible with VoiceOver. The app 
will continue to improve VoiceOver accessibility across the app.

Weatherology iOS App Store.

I look at my results on my phone, so I know that the phone is talking to the

Try turning the rotor to adjust value then flick up or down. Sometimes the item

IOS 16.6 - focus and crashes with Voiceover

2023-08-08 Thread danielm...@gmail.com

Hello everyone 

So I am still running IOS 16.2 on both an iPhone XR and iPad 6th 
generation. 

Naturally, I would like to update to 16.6 mainly for security.  However, I 
keep reading people experiencing troubles with focus and crashes with 
voiceover. Also as a 3rd item, heard, trouble reading messages using the 
stock mail app as well.

 I am not having such problems outlined above using 16.2

I would like to know, is this the case for everyone and should I hold off? 
Or just do the update on the devices. 

Any advice would be most welcome.

Regards

Daniel

Try activating the combo box and then hitting alt+down-arrow before navigating

Also on the Echo device you can say, “play my station on Apple Music.  It will 
play the music you added to tor similar music.

Subject: Weatherology iOS app

Thanks to Dennis Long for recommending this app.

I have added its details to my web site.  I'm copying what I put on my site 
below which includes the link to the app store.

Weatherology Mobile, LLC., free

I had tried this app some years ago. They have been udpating it, and now it 
works well with VoiceOver, at least for the forecast info. IN the 7.9 version, 
in settings, if you double tap on details instead of the simple forecast, it 
doesn't say selected, but it is. That should be fixed in the next update. Their 
customer support is excellent!

Description from the app store:
The first weather app that fully integrates into your home and car with 
real-time audio weather reports and emergency weather notifications; 
personalized for you.
We take weather to another level.
Our patented technology delivers real-time audio weather reports to your 
location.
It's voice-activated: Ask Weatherology for the latest forecast.
At home. In your car. On your phone.
It's real-time. With up-to-the-minute weather updates including the latest 
watches, warnings, advisories, and bulletins. We alert you with relevant 
weather notifications to keep you informed.
It's real people, not voice simulation: Select your favorite weather talent, 
and they provide real-time weather reports on demand.
It's accurate and personalized for your location.
The technology is new, but the Weatherology team has been around for 34 years. 
We have contributed to more award-winning local weather broadcasts than our 
largest competitors combined.
Apple CarPlay audio apps must be voice-activated and offer audio capabilities 
only, which is exactly what our app does. With the exception of navigation 
apps, content such as weather maps and radar are currently prohibited from 
being displayed as content on the dashboard. We are focused on creating the 
best hands-free audio experience in vehicles in accordance with Apple 
CarPlay guidelines.
Although our expertise is audio, we are meteorologists, so we offer all the 
tools you need to stay informed. Up-to-the-minute radar that loads quickly and 
zooms in to your specific location. Storm vectors that illustrate current storm 
location and storm movement.
We offer current weather advisory graphics with up-to-the-minute audio weather 
details for each bulletin.
Hourly and 7-day forecast displays.
Weather conditions from around the world.
With Apple CarPlay, Weatherology provides a hands-free, safe way to get the 
latest weather in your car.
At home, have a real meteorologist provide your forecast with details for your 
location unmatched by synthetic voices currently available through Smart 
Speakers.
Automobile safety is priority number one and our app is the only weather app 
that discourages distractions in your vehicle.

As of version 7.9, the Forecasts are fully accessible with VoiceOver. The app 
will continue to improve VoiceOver accessibility across the app.

Weatherology iOS App Store.
