Re: Some General Updated Info from Mark About Workout App, etc.

[VIPhone]

Hello Arnold,

You ask an excellent question the answer to which is that a walking pad is 
simply a much smaller version of an electric treadmill, complete with a 
walking belt.

How To Play a Playlist, Apple Music Station, or the Result of Any Apple Music Query Directly from the iOS Home Screen and / or Apple Watch

[VIPhone]

Hello Everyone,

The result of the following steps will allow you to immediately play any 
playlist, Apple Music station, or the result of any Apple Music query, 
directly from your iOS home screen and / or Apple Watch

I am assuming that you are already familiar with the basic UI of the iOS 
Shortcuts app in the latest version of iOS.

Also, in order for this to work, as I describe, you must have an Apple 
Music subscription.

Here we go:

1.
Ask Siri to play some kind of music that you know you will want to hear in 
the future.  For example, 1970s love songs, 1980s R Workout music, happy 
songs from the 1990s, top soft rock music from Rod Stuart, or KCBS news 
radio, etc.  It doesn’t matter just as long as the result is what you want 
to hear.  The reason for this is so that Apple music will place your 
inquiry into the recently played area of the Apple Music app.

2.
Open the Shortcuts app.

3.
Select Create Shortcut.

4.
>From the Add Action menu, select Play Music and add it to your shortcut. 
 This will be the only action in the shortcut.

5.
Place Voice Over focus on the action and swipe up until you land on “Edit, 
Play Music”, then single-finger, double-tap in order to activate this 
option.

6.
Select Home.  This will take you to the Home area of your Apple Music App 
UI, which will launch inside the Shortcuts app.

7.
In the Recently Played area, you will see your latest inquiry.  Select it. 
 Doing this will close the Apple Music UI and return you to the Shortcuts 
app.  This may take a few seconds so give it time.

8.
If you place VO focus on the single action of the shortcut, you will now 
hear VO announce the action with the name of the query you selected in the 
above step such as, “Play, 1980s music for working out.” 

Essentially, the shortcut is complete.  The next steps simply allow you to 
rename the shortcut and save it to your home screen and/or Apple Watch. 
 Understand that there are several ways to accomplish this but I’m only 
going to list what I think is the least confusing for novice shortcut 
creators.

9.
Select Done.  This will close the shortcut and place you back in a list of 
all of the shortcuts currently installed on your device.  Assuming that you 
followed the steps above, your new shortcut defaults to the name, “Play 
Music,” followed by the number of actions in the shortcut.

10.
With VO focused on your new Shortcut in the Shortcuts list area, 
single-finger swipe up until you hear, “Edit Shortcut,” and select the 
option.  This will place you back in the Shortcuts editor with the 
shortcut, in question, opened.

11.
Single-finger swipe until VO focus lands on the Done button.  Do not 
activate this button.  

12.
Swipe to the left until VO lands on, “Play Music, Actions Menu, Button.”

13.
Activate this button.  A menu will open with several useful options 
including, Share, Rename, Choose Icon, Duplicate, Move, Add to Home Screen, 
and Export File.

14.
I suggest that you first choose to rename the shortcut to the name of the 
station, playlist, etc., that describes the music the shortcut will play. 
 Once this has been done, then select the option to add the Shortcut to the 
Home screen and then you will be good to go.

Now, whenever you want to listen to the station designated in the shortcut, 
simply activate it from your IOS home screen and it will immediately begin 
to play without launching the Apple Music app.

Re: Any Reason to Not Use Two Factor Authentication on iPhone and iPad

[Matthew Dyer]

Hi,


I have been using 2factor autthentication for several years and the only 
time i have had to enter a six digit code is when signing in to my 
account on a new device.  Not sure if it needs to be enabled for 
anything else.  I think new devices are required to have it though.

Are there any downsides to using two factor?  Also, does this mean 
that every time I open my phone, for example, that in addition to face 
ID or entering my PIN, I would also need to enter the code sent to me?


Thanks for any information.

I can’t answer your question, but am wondering if you are finding a problem

Hello, 

 

I recently wanted to turn two factor authentication off but! 

I read on the web that if off, and you turn it on, you have only 2 weeks to 
turn it off again.

In the 1 year since getting my first iPhone, it must have been turned on and I 
didn't know. 

Maybe the store clerk who sett me up to get started with SIRI and VoiceOver,  
did it. 

I guess that means I can't turn it off.

 

If anyone knows how to, please let us know.

Re: Getting my text messages announced as text come in.

Based on how much is written you will get a partial reading. if they wrote a 
lot then you will have to open it to get the full message. Also consider 
that it only reads the last message. So if they sent you multiple messages 
you will have to open it or miss whatever else they may have written.

Re: A question for Bluetooth users

[Robert Doc Wright]

It is going to be based on what you get use to.  I've been using a BT 
keyboard for several years. I tried to switch to the hardware keyboard 
feature but found it too cumbersome for me.

Subject: A question for Bluetooth users


Hello dear listers,
I posted my question on the BlindApple mailing list but got no replies or 
comments. It sounds that there are no bluetooth keyboard users on that list. 
Hopefully I will be luckier here.
I am a new user of bluetooth keyboard with VoiceOver on an iPad. Should I 
keep the full keyboard access setting found under settings, accessibility,, 
full keyboard access on or off? What are the advantages or disadvantages of 
keeping this setting to off or on when using a bluetooth keyboard? Which 
setting do you recommend?
I would appreciate your suggestions and help.
Cheers,

Re: A question for Bluetooth users

[Jonathan Cohn]

It appears to be a feature for people wit mobility issues.
It uses the tab key as a modifier and allow one to perform actions with just 
the keyboard. 
I expect that 98% of VO users would not like this if the video attached is 
correctly describing the  process.

You can go into -

Settings
Siri
Allow Notifications

I am not sure this is what you are wanting, but can't hurt. If you don't like 
it, you know where it is to turn off.

Re: Any workaround for slight problem on X?

[Cris Ali]

Hi Kathy,
I also noticed this annoying change in the last update. There is no work 
around. You have to click on the names one by one, which is time consuming and 
annoying.

RE: A question for Bluetooth users

Hi,
I found this page on the web describing your inquiry.

Subject: A question for Bluetooth users

Hello dear listers,
I posted my question on the BlindApple mailing list but got no replies or 
comments. It sounds that there are no bluetooth keyboard users on that list. 
Hopefully I will be luckier here. 
I am a new user of bluetooth keyboard with VoiceOver on an iPad. Should I keep 
the full keyboard access setting found under settings, accessibility,, full 
keyboard access on or off? What are the advantages or disadvantages of  keeping 
this setting to off or on when using a bluetooth keyboard? Which setting do you 
recommend? 
I would appreciate your suggestions and help.
Cheers,
Follow me on X @ibnalbalad

Any workaround for slight problem on X?

[Kathy Brandt]

Since the latest update, a lot of the posts on the initial page just give the 
authors name followed by “verified “, without being able to read the text 
without double tapping on the post, versus the way it was before when you could 
just flick from one entry to another and read. Everything was readable, 
however, without having to double tap to open, for an Ira representative. I 
contacted @xsupport, for what that may prove worth :-) enabling screen 
recognition made things a lot worse. Has anyone else noticed, or does anyone 
have ideas on how to get like it was before? I know it’s good that I can still 
read what everyone says, but having to open each thing that appears blank 
versus being able to read straight through makes things more time-consuming.

Health apps that nag you!

['Sandy Tomkins' via VIPhone]

hi,
As a subject says, I've suddenly decided to become health conscious and want an 
app that will nag me to move or do something every half hour or so, can anyone 
suggest one please? I've i've got loads of different  exercise equipment, I 
just need the impetus like a personal coach, preferably one that is AI or 
robotic. all suggestions very gratefully received! While I'm still in the mood…
Thanks, Sandy and lazy Zion
