Be my eyes new service

[Alison May]

I asked if this app could also describe photos on my iPhone and followed the directions given. I am absolutely amazed. Below is a description of the day. My current guide dog met his puppy raiser and her new pup. The details really bring the picture alive.The picture shows two adorable dogs sitting on a floor. The floor has dark gray tiles and there is a beige rug where the dogs are sitting. On the left, there is a black Labrador with a shiny coat. It has soulful brown eyes and is wearing a collar with a tag. On the right, there is a German Shepherd puppy. It has a black coat with tan markings on its legs and face. The puppy has bright, curious eyes and floppy ears. It is also wearing a collar with a tag. They are sitting next to each other and seem to be in a kitchen, as there is a glimpse of a cabinet and an oven in the background.Sent from my iPhone by Alison may0777 315 8181On 21 Sep 2023, at 10:17 pm, Feliciano Godoy  wrote:

First this isn’t an android list. 
  Second I would just switch back to iOS. 
You wouldn’t have this problem on iOS.  You can attempt contacting Google accessibility but if you have the experience Jonathan Mosen and others who called his show have had good luck.

My 6SE has a 3.5 plug but I have decided to keep the new headphones in

Richard, I am confused! I think you are saying that the new phones only have 
the lightning input  which is fine but then you go on to say these lightning 
headphones  will  work with new and old phones, which they don't, certainly not 
with my current 6 se.

Headphones for iPhones

[Alison May]

I have just purchased two headphones for my iPhone 6 Se, only  to discover that 
they have lightning  connectors and not the standard connectors.  I am 
considering upgrading my iPhone. Will these new lightning connectors be 
compatible with the new iPhone or should I just return them?

Re: Query about headphones for the iPhone

[Alison May]

I have just received some new headphones for my iPhone 6s E but neither of them 
are compatible as the connector is more like a lightning connector rather than 
the standard input. I am thinking about upgrading my phone. Is it worth me 
keeping these headphones? Will they fit the new models?

Re: Looking for accessible language learning Apps

[Alison May]

I have been using duo lingo for the past 18 months in order to learn German. It 
is an excellent app which I am using on my iPhone. However I have just come 
back from holiday where there were many Germans and I was quite disappointed as 
I thought I was approaching fluency and yet, although I could understand what 
they were talking about, I couldn't actually converse  with them, not as such 
anyway. But it is a really good app but I agree, i  probably need a German 
conversation group as well.

Re: Removing Audible books from iPhone

[Alison May]

I too am having difficulty removing books which I have read. I have followed 
the suggestion about swiping down twice which takes me to the menu, but there 
is no option in the menu to delete. There  is an option to archive, but I don't 
actually know what this means.

Re: Contacting Duolingo

[Alison May]

This is what my friend says: 
I have contacted Duo Lingo a few times by email and they respond quite promptly.
If you go to your profile, click on settings and scroll down to “give 
feedback”, click on that and it will open an email.  Fill in your query and 
send it off.  I usually hear back within 24 hours.  Perhaps you could ask them 
to call you.
Hope this helps.
