RE: bible ap from life church verssion 5.4

2014-10-23 Thread Amy Billman
Hi.
There's no way to make it show up the wayit did before, as they have changed 
the app. This however isn't an accessibility issue.
When you click on it there's a labeled button that says read, which will enable 
you to read it as you did before.
I just did this, today in fact, on my iPhone 6 using latest release of the app 
and iOS 8.
HTh.

hi,

I just downloaded he bible ap from life church onto my 6+ phone.  on the home 
screen where verses of the day are  all it now gives me is the  book, chapter 
and verse of the  verse of the day.  I had the previous verssion on my 4S.  Is 
there a setting that could read the verse of hte day like it did inthe previous 
 verssion?  To read it now I have to shair it  do sms and it'll read it then 
like I was shairing it but, not inthe  verse of the day 
view like before.   I'd like to have it  like before.  If this isn't 
anything I can controle I might have to email the ap developer.  I would just 
like to make sure it's not just  me before I do.

Thanks,

RE: Pre-orders now open for iOS 8 Without the Eye

2014-07-29 Thread Amy Billman
As a business owner that markets products to the blind iPhone using
community, I am glad for as many resources as possible to recommend to
customers.
Buy the book if you like; if you don't, don't. It's really that simple.
I'm of the mind that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I'm both
amazed and rather ashamed to be in the blind community with how it seems to
react and spread negativity around like poison in the online world, just
because someone wrote a book and is profiting.
I didn't see the same responses when National Braille Press came out with
their various iPhone books. This is no different really.
Maybe folks did react in a similar manner to that as well, but I don't
recall having seen that.
How really, is this different from the tons of technology ebooks out there
that people self publish and put up on Kindle or smashwords?
Thanks to the internet, anyone can be an author; and anyone can sell their
books and publish with ease.
Is it because this person happens to be in our community?
You know, I believe that we are probably the only community in the
disability world that seems to feel like it should get everything for free.
This applies to books, or even software; which people spend many hours
working on. The very idea that they should be paid for their time and
resources. *gasps*
 
I guess I just don't see why this has to come with ranting and discussion.
Furthermore, what Jonathan did is simple business marketing. If nobody had
purchased the prior book/s, he wouldn't have written this one.
As people did, logic would dictate that there is or could be a need;
therefore, the book for iOS 8 was/is being written.
People learn very differently. Because so many are still using seriously
outdated phones, the iPhone can be a huge learning curve.
Hel, I can say first hand that when I got my 3GS what seems eons ago, even I
benefited from and was glad to have written guides and tutorials.
Not everyone has the luxury or wants to go to an A T trainer to learn how to
use their new iPhone; while some do.
Fact is, for lots the iPhone isn't as intuitive as it might seem for others.
Not everyone is willing or able to play with something to figure it out.
Just like there are those who move to a new area and require an O&M trainer
to learn how to get to the store and the like, rather than being willing to
explore on their own and get lost in order to learn.
Personally, while I won't be buying the book, (because I prefer to get used
to the changes by using my phone on a daily basis,) I will continue to
recommend it to customers who come to me in search of resources to help them
to use their new iPhone.
I have been at conventions and witnessed first hand the frustration of
people who have had their phones for six months and cannot figure out how to
use it and don't know where to turn. This is especially true as many seniors
are now going into the iPhone world.
It seems like what this comes down to is a matter of disliking someone.
That's all well and good if that's how you feel, but then, just don't
purchase.
Did I really just see the word parasite in an earlier message?
Do we really need to attack both the trolls that flame and the person who's
trying to provide the service?

Hi everyone, I'm conscious that both our moderators are probably sleeping
right now, and having moderated email lists over many years, I know what an
unpleasant feeling it is to wake up to a list that's gone off the rails. So
in an attempt to prevent that from happening, I thought I would add a few
comments. It's not my intension to respond to personal attacks, however
there are some substantive issues that may be helpful.
First, my book, "iOS 8 Without the Eye" is by no means the only game in town
for getting information about iOS 8 when it comes out. An excellent free
source of information will be Applevis, a site of which I am a huge fan. You
can be sure that free resources from there will include blog posts and
podcasts. There are sure to be other places as well.
I wrote iOS 7 Without the Eye last year because I got feedback that there
was a need for it. As some of you may know, I've produced literally hundreds
of hours at least of audio tutorials on a wide range of subjects, a few of
which are in fact on Applevis. I also continue to get very kind feedback
about the FSCasts I have done over the years on iTunes. Many people like to
be talked through an application or operating system, hearing what the

Agreed, Donna.
I had hoped they’d do that like Audible does. Even if they went to like their 
credits system or something where as you say, you’re actually buying the books, 
so that if you do cancel, you can reread them later.
In most cases, if I am paying for a book even in a circumstance like this, if 
it’s good enough I will want to reread in future.
 
And, of course some stuff like cookbooks (which that’s a lot of my Kindle 
content lately,) I’m hardly going to want to rent those. *smile* What’s the

Yes, I've heard about this service as well. $10 isn't to expensive in my 
opinion, to be able to read 10 books a month, that's $1 per book. The "rent" a 
book is the downfall to the service for me. I had much rather pay a monthly 
membership fee, get a big discount on an unlimited number of books. This way 
the book is mine to reread if I discontinue my monthly service. 
 
Just my opinion.

RE: apple tv

2014-07-18 Thread Amy Billman
Well, I suppose anything's possible. I guess we will see! *grins*
And, if it's different enough to justify the purchase people will do it;
myself included.
It does seem like with the prior voiceover accessible apple TV's that there
hasn't been anything that they couldn't do exactly the same with the OS
changes. This, from my perspective anyway as we've got two different
generations of boxes in the house.
As I said, anything's possible though.
I do know that people really want it to be a set top box, though I'm unsure
of why they'd make that feature an option because then people would have no
need to plunk down a ton of money for season passes on iTunes, or to
purchase other TV shows or movies from there.
Regardless, it will be interesting to see what the next Apple TV ends up
being.

Hi Amy,

The latest generation of Apple TV supports 1280P which is true HD.
I believe when a new model does come out that it will offer significant
changes, for one there is talk that it will have SIRI for voice control and
possibly it may have motion control. I also think it will have an upgraded
processor and fully support apps, e.g. it will have its own app store. There
is also talk that Apple is negotiating with major cable networks and that
the new Apple TV will be a full and complete replacement of current cable
set top boxes except better.
In any case, I doubt it will be more of the same and just some new box with
basically no new features. I also think that Apple at some point will still
surprise everybody with what they believe the living room experience should
be.

Sieghard

you can just go there. :-)

As best as I can see from what's been going around, the only thing that
those of us with prior generations of apple TV's won't be able to do, is
play content in HD. You can still play content that is HD only, it will just
look different on screen for folks who can see.
And, you'll get the new oS updates just like normal to the generation of
Apple TV that you have.

We have two; and I can't see the need to purchase newer models when it's

RE: How easy is the app to use? was RE: KNFB Reader App

2014-07-17 Thread Amy Billman
Hi.
Of course the one for iOS is not out yet, but I personally found the old
KNFB reader a bit better at OCR than the OCR products for iOS that exist
currently.
For instance, when we had it my partner and I used it to OCR and read the
menu that's up on the board at Mcdonalds. That's not been doable with stuff
like Prismo or Text Detective; at least it hasn't been possible for either
of us.
Another thing that we used to do with it back in the day, was use it to
quickly scan envelopes while standing at the mailbox. This was handy at the
time because like a sighted person would do, we could weed out the trash and
only take home what was important.
Now, if I want to scan the mail, using an OCR solution for the pc ends up
being the better deal. It would be nice to have a more reliable option.
The demos that I've listened to seem to indicate that the iOS app is going
to be equal to if not better than the old KNFB reader mobile solution.
All I can say, is I sure as hell hope so! This would make it well worth the
price imho.
If I can do all of those things efficiently like before, it would be very
handy. This is not to say that the current apps for iOS are bad, they're
just rather limiting by comparison, IMO.

Hi.
 
I have a question about this app, and more specificly how it worked on other
devices in the past.  I've heard it compared to other mainstream OCR apps on
the iPhone.  I'd like to hear from KNFB users who have used this app on
other devices.  How easy was it to use on these devices, and if you've used
other OCR apps on an iPhone, how does it compare with these apps?  I think
this will give us a more accurate idea about how easy the app will be to
use.
 
As for the cost of the app, in my opinion, I wouldn't have a problem paying
for it if it works as well as people say.  Only problem I may have is I
suspect the app won't work on an iPhone 4, so I'll have to save up for an
iPhone 6 to use it.  At least that's what I think the most logical thing to
do.
 
Have a good day, and don't work too hard.

Hi, all, 
 
Last week was the debut of Fedora Outlier’s new series, There’s An App For 
That, with music being the first category of apps. This week, the category is 
productivity, with food and drink specifically.
 
Do you love to eat? Are you more likely to cook at home, order in, or do you 
like to get out sometimes? And how about mixing up a cool mixed drink wen 
company arrives? There’s an app to help with any of these. Perhaps you have 
heard of the ones reviewed this week, maybe you even have one or all of them. 
Or, there might be an app that you have not heard about but would be perfect 
for you.
 
Check out the latest reviews of five terrific food and drink apps by viewing 
the post at:

Kindle for iPad is awesome, too!
I have an iPad mini, and before that, I had a full size iPad. The speaker
alone makes reading on that type of device nicer compared to the iPhone,
though the iPhone is fine. The larger screen real estate is nice to have
too.

I've gotta say that the highlighting option is really cool!
And, you can see what others have highlighted too!
Oddly enough, I recently purchased a cookbook and was curious to see what
sorts of things others had highlighted, and while it wasn't everything that
I would have thought was important, there were also some useful things.
>From the perspective of a student in a textbook, this feature could prove
potentially helpful; even if it's just the ability to highlight stuff that
you feel is important; much like a sighted person would make notes or
highlights in the margins of their print books.

BREAKING: Amazon's Kindle for iOS Updated with Accessibility

Posted under:
Accessibility
by
Justin Romack

I remember the feeling quite vividly-sitting in my college courses on the 
first day of class, staring at a syllabus with books I knew I'd never be 
able
to obtain in an accessible format before we were to review them. I attended 
a great university and had access to a fabulous disability services office,
but far too many books were simply out of reach in a timely fashion.

I'd talk to peers who would download their books onto a Kindle, and as time 
progressed, soon they'd load them on their iPhones and iPads to tote around
wherever they went. But, sadly, Amazon seemed to stubbornly push 
inaccessible Kindle products onto the market without any regard to the 
blindness community.

That all changed yesterday morning, though, and many have voiced their 
excitement for the
newly accessible Kindle for iOS application
(available now through Apple's App Store). That's right-the blind, visually 
impaired and dyslexic now have full access to Amazon's catalog of over one
million books, magazines and newspapers, all at the touch of a button in the
Kindle Store.

After playing around with the app, connecting my braille display and 
exploring tactilely and buying (more than) a few books to try out, I want to

share
some initial impressions and a general breakdown of what you can expect from

the app.

The Interface

Amazon's Kindle for iOS has a simple interface upon startup. If you have 
purchased books already, you'll be taken to your cloud bookshelf with an 
option
to download each title. If you've already downloaded these texts, you can 
click and launch them with a single-finger double tap gesture, or a 
split-tap
gesture.

While in the book of your choice, Amazon has made the interface incredibly 
simple, boasting no buttons, labels or other controls you may expect to see
in an app like this. You are presented with the book's text-and that's all. 
This is nice because the text fills the entirety of the screen, making it 
much
easier to scroll line by line with your finger.

The Reading Experience

I'm not a huge fan of audiobooks. The dramatization of text by some readers 
tends to be a turnoff for me, and it's important that I have access to the
text in a way that I can read character by character if need be. Solid, 
intuitive and flexible navigation is imperative for any reading app or 
device-and
it's why I've really enjoyed using Apple's iBooks app the past year or two.

In terms of navigation, Kindle for iOS is absolutely on-par with the iBooks 
experience. I can navigate character by character, word by word, and line by
line, which is excellent. In one word-it's "flawless".

Since there are no on-screen controls while in the reading view, you can 
either interact with the text by a read all from top gesture (which is a 
two-finger
swipe downward), navigate via a rotor gesture (use the rotor to select 
whether you'll move by character, word or line), move your finger through 
the text
or move between pages (with a three-finger swipe left or right), which 
prompts the app to automatically start reading content on the new page. It's

simple,
easy and very effective.

Making Highlights and Creating Notes

This is easily one of the most exciting features I've found in the Kindle 
for iOS app-and best of all, it's very accessible. To highlight a section of
text, or to create a note about something you've read, perform a 
single-finger, double-tap and hold around the general area in which you'd 
like

RE: kindle

2014-01-08 Thread Amy Billman
Hello,
I cannot speak for how well it functions one way or the other on the Mac. I
sort of wonder as there's been no fan fair so-to-speak around it.
That being said, the Kindle App on the iPhone and iPad works quite well!

I hope that helps!

I will say though that once the update is at least downloaded (not
installed,) it will give you no choice but to update it in full because that
download's just sitting there eating three gb of space.
I'm sure eventually there will be no choice but to update, but there's no
way for it to happen accidentally or at the very least, without the terms

Although... If you're running the latest iTunes and want to back up your

Hi Paula,

I suspect that maybe whoever was helping her might have inadvertently tapped
Install or said Yes when asked to update, but you still have to Agree twice
to the Terms and Conditions and I really can't see how if you tap Decline it
would not let you out of the screen.

A couple of weeks ago somebody also posted that iOS 7 installed on their
phone automatically and I mean "installed" not just downloaded and there is
just no way it would do so because you just have to double tap I Agree and
then double tap it a second time.

The only thing I've come up with so far is to find where I want to tap 
on the screen, turn VO off with a triple click of the home button, tap 
the screen and then turn VO back on with another triple click of the 
home button. Tapping in the right area of the screen isn't so hard, 
since I have four profiles and they each take up pretty much one 
quadrant of the screen.

RE: Kayak app is accessible. It is an app for travelers

Kayak rocks!
It's a great way to price airlines. Even if you don't book them that way,
it's a good way to be able to find cheap airline tickets.

Subject: Kayak app is accessible. It is an app for travelers

Hey everyone. I found this app doing my coin collecting for Iassociate2. It
is a really good application. I don't travel much. But I am still going to
keep it on my phone. It has information about airlines and just a bunch of
stuff.   There are buttons that are not labeled. But I find if I double tap
them it usually brings up either a website or in the case of airlines the
thing that says do you want to call this phone number. They even have
information on the different things that are in airports. It is an extremely
good application. I apologize if it has been mentioned before. It also has a
packing list area. And it just has a lot of information for the traveler.
Except for unlabeled buttons here and there. It seems to be fully accessible
with voiceover. I hope this helps someone.

Re: Cupcakes app.

2013-04-22 Thread Amy Billman
Hello all!
Just a quick FYI; because I've seen posts over here asking.
While you can drag your ingredients into the bowl with voiceover while
making cupcakes from scratch, it did not have any sort of verbal
confirmation (like they do in the More Breakfast app,) telling you that
things were in the bowl.
You can tell yes, because the ingredients disappear from the list above, but
having this confirmation would make it a much faster process. It is, after
all, a game.
I say all this, to say that I emailed the developer to suggest implementing
something that would tell you that stuff was in the bowl, or not, and they
have already submitted the update to Apple and are awaiting its approval so
that it can be put in the app store.
 
Point is, if any of you like the Maverick software apps, and would like to
see voiceover accessibility or fixes with existing apps, they are very
responsive.
I know some think apps like that are pointless. LOL! But for those who play
them, it's nice to see a quick response and action from developers.
Actually, that goes for any app really. I found it very refreshing that they
not only seemed to have a clue, but they didn't waste time in making those
changes.
Have a wonderful Monday, all!

RE: Portable Bluetooth Speaker Recommendations?

2013-04-10 Thread Amy Billman
Sadly, it's next to impossible in most instances to find a Bluetooth speaker
that also has the speaker phone capability and not spend over $100.
The other thing I've seen and noticed with a lot of them, in particular the
Jambox, is that the more you use it, you will find that the quality of tone
gets very muddy.
This I found after some research, is something that can happen over time
with some speakers. Don't know about Bos because that's not my thing.
I've heard some really great sounding bos speakers, and some where the room
they were being played in didn't do them any favors, and they sounded like
utter crap.
This, in addition to the fact that I've got more high priority things to
spend money on, has always made me not bother with that brand for portable
speaker or home theater. But that's just me and my own personal view.

Subject: Portable Bluetooth Speaker Recommendations?
 
I'm looking to purchase a portable bluetooth speaker for use with both my
iPhone 5 and my Victor Reader Stream. I don't want to spend over $100 and
although it would be nice if the speaker could double as a speaker phone and
allow me to answer calls, that's not a strict requirement. I'm mainly
interested in sound quality including acceptable volume without distortion.
The unit will have to have an auxiliary 3.5mm jack to enable me to attach my
non-bluetooth Stream but most units I've reviewed do have this jack. To
recap, the main things I'm looking for:
 
1.  Good sound quality with acceptable volume without distortion.
2.  Portability. I want to be able to move this around easily and take
it on the road too.
3.  External 3.5mm auxiliary jack.
4.  Ability to use the speaker while it's charging.
5.  Ability to use the speaker with more than one bluetooth device would
be a bonus although not a strict requirement.
6.  The ability for the speaker to act as a speaker phone and allow the
user to answer incoming calls would also be a nice feature.
 
The models I'm considering are:
 
1.  JBL Flip Wireless Bluetooth Speaker - $88.99 plus $8 shipping at
Amazon vendor.
2.  Logitech UE Mobile Boombox - $87.79 at Amazon.
3.  BeatBox by Desaia - $70 plus $7 shipping from SpeedDots.
 
I realize speaker recommendations are highly subjective but I'm hoping by
listing what I'm looking for and the models I'm considering, someone who has
actually heard some of these models can provide some suggestions.
 
Thanks in advance for any help.

Songza on the iPad.

Hello all!
 
For those of you who have used Songza on the iPad, what are your
experiences?
It seems to work all right on the iPhone, but apparently something is broken
in their iPad app, at least it seems that way.
I so love apps when you double tap on buttons like search etc, and it does
nothing. LOL!
Is it just me, or are others having similar issues?
I always find it strange when an app works well on one iOS platform and not
another.
 
Thanks in advance for any info!

RE: Hulu and net flicks

2013-01-02 Thread Amy Billman
Netflix has also gotten better in the past couple of months as far as how
well it works with voiceover on the iPhone; though I've got friends in
Canada who grumble about what is available for streaming via Netflix.
Apparently, there's a great deal more content in the US. 

I recommend looking at what content Hulu has available for streaming, and
then determine whether or not (for you,) the subscription is worth it. It's
not expensive, but a lot of the channels you've mentioned here (at least
from what I've noticed,) don't have programs available. You've gotta look at
what programs interest you really.

RE: Speaker with Go Payment

I personally prefer to use the card reader. I'm not that trusting of other's
ability to either remember their card info correctly or to read the number
properly.
Plus, because for me in most cases I'm using it in packed convention exhibit
halls, it's a must to use headphones.
The card reader works well in that at least we can use it with voiceover
unlike the Square one.

Yes ma'am, it's set up that way as the portable card reader that you'd get

Also, feel free to check our web site and Twitter, because all news about

Subject: Tactile screen protectors for iPhone 5?
 
The subject line says it all. I've checked the at guys website and speeddots
website and I realize it has been less than a week since the iPhone 5 came
out. Just wondered if anybody knew any more about it than I do, which
wouldn't take much since i only know they aren't being offered at this
point. I thought they really didn't matter that much but I do notice a
difference when I use my iPhone 5 without the tactile protector vs my iPhone
4S with the tactile protector so I must be unconsciously using the dots for
some amount of orientation.

RE: blue tooth bug with speed dots micro keyboard

2012-09-21 Thread Amy Billman
Hi.
A few thoughts concerning your keyboard issue.
First of all, I know that lots of times when you switch phones, bluetooth
settings can get really funky and its brain needs to be reset. have you
tried telling the phone to forget the device, and then re-pairing it again?
also, before you re-pair, turn bluetooth off and back on again. So
basically, you want to pair it from scratch; clean slate so-to-speak.
Beyond that, I don't know what could cause that bug. Our iPhone 5 is still
on back order and not supposed to arrive until the beginning of October. I
might have something more useful for you once we've had the opportunity to
pair it with one of the mini bluetooth keyboards.
In the meantime, please let me know if you have success with this.
 
Thank you for the feedback. i'm sorry you're experiencing this problem.
Hopefully this fixes it for you.

Okay, got my iPhone5 early this morning.  And connected my bt keyboard that
I bought about 2 months ago from speed dots.  It connects just fine, but if
you turn it off while your not using it, you have to authorize each time
with a different 4 digit code each time.  I've done this 4 times, just to
make sure it wasn't me.  And it's still in the list of bt devices, but when
you double tap "not connected button"  so it will connect, thats when your
presented a diferent 4 digits to pair it to your phone.  Has anyone else who
is using this keyboard experienced this?

RE: Really Speeddots?

2012-09-21 Thread Amy Billman
Hello Eric:
You placed another order with us back on January 10th (or someone with that
same email address did,) and you filled in that information. Back then, you
did not seem to have a problem with it. I wonder why this is all of a sudden
such a huge problem, and why it has supposedly "soured excellent experiences
with this petty control ?" to be fair, if you did have a problem with it at
the time, we were not contacted directly by you to notify us of that fact.
I apologize if you believe this to be a move by a company whose only
interest is in being arrogant, and who is using its customer base to do
their marketing for them.
I can assure you that nothing could be further from the truth. This is a
feature built into our cart. It's not something that you can take out, and,
lots either fill it in with something useful or just put a random character
into the space.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to know as a business where people are
hearing about your company or products. In fact, it's useful; it's how
companies big and small get a feel for how they're doing on a marketing
level. Really, unless you're talking about us to friends or associates, etc,
answering that question on our cart is not doing any marketing for us at
all.
Personally, I've seen this feature built into a lot of shopping carts, and
yes, you have to put something, anything into the space provided in order to
continue.
Meanwhile, I have contacted our shopping cart vendor, to determine whether
or not this can be made to be an optional feature in order to accommodate
you, or anyone else who might have a problem with it in the future. Nobody
has in the year plus that we've been using this same shopping cart, but
there's a first time for everything. Better to be safe than sorry, in my
opinion anyway, as keeping our customers happy is our top priority. I'd like
to avoid additional flamatory posts like this in a public forum if at all
possible.
Also, check your inbox. Once I saw this, I made sure you were contacted
privately regarding this matter, and your order.
Please do not hesitate to provide us with your feedback in future; we have a
"contact us," page for that very purpose, and answer it even after business
hours.
Thank you again for your positive feedback. It's very much appreciated!

Amy Billman

RE: IPhone 5 cases

2012-09-15 Thread Amy Billman
I haven't officially heard one way or the other either, though I would think
that they would. Actually, they'd have to, because people are going to want
and need cases for their phones, but also, unlike the situation with the 4
and 4S, the new iPhone is drastically different. Even the location of the
headphone jack is different.
What I'm curious about is how long it will take the new cases from OtterBox
or even Life Proof to surface once the new phones are being shipped.

RE: Cooking App for the iPhone

2012-09-13 Thread Amy Billman
That particular app I'm not familiar with.
I will say though that some of the cooking apps, like Big Oven, all Recipes,
and Epicurius have different ethnic recipes. If you're looking for something
specific, I recommend searching for a specific ethnicity (followed by the
word recipes,) in the apps store. I have not, but this is because I haven't
ventured in my own cooking beyond American, Thai, Greek, and Italian; due
more to time than anything else. *smile*

RE: Cooking App for the iPHone

2012-09-13 Thread Amy Billman
Well, I honestly haven't encountered a situation where my phone or any other
device I've used for recipes in the kitchen, (Booksense for example,) has
either gotten messy or in particular, dropped in my food. Now that I say
that, it'll happen I bet... LOL!
That being said, there are sleeves that you can purchase, (also kitchen
mounts for the iPad,) that will cover your phone to keep it free from
messes.
I will say though that I'm one of those people who is constantly taking my
phone out of its case, and cleaning the case with Dawn and my phone with a
little Windex. I find that just general day to day use makes both icky from
sweat or dust from your daily traveling alone. So it really could be that my
being a bit neurotic when it comes to the cleanliness of my phone is what's
keeping things from getting messed up in the kitchen.

RE: DVR Remote for the iPhone

2012-08-18 Thread Amy Billman
I think that depends on who you have as your cable provider.
For example, I know that Direct TV has those capabilities in its iPhone app,
however, I personally have Comcast, and while the xfinity app does allow you
to schedule recordings, and even delete them, you cannot play them back on
the phone, or, use the phone to start them playing on the TV.
I've looked at forums for this one and apparently this is something that
folks would like to see, but not something that they've decided to implement
any time soon.
I am not aware of any app not tied to a cable TV/satellite provider that
does the things you are wanting.

No. They developed their own thing and got into a partnership.
The up side though is that there's no taking over of the audio jack. A good

RE: Otterbox Impact Case and SpeedDots Screen Protector

2012-08-15 Thread Amy Billman
Hello Vicky,
Whenever you purchase one of our bundles, (the case and screen protector
together,) you receive, (in the case of the Impact,) the case, as well as
the screen protector and cleaning cloth. This is because the Impact case
does not have a built-in screen protector like the Defender.
Whenever you purchase the Defender bundle from us, however, we cut the
screen protector to fit over the top of the case that you purchased, to
insure a perfect fit, and then send it to you; so there's no need to apply
the protector.
If you give your phone to someone, and they want to use that Defender case
without the embossed dots, they can easily remove the tactile protector and
have the normal OtterBox built-in screen protector.
The only thing I will warn you of, is that whoever removes it needs to be
extra careful when doing so. Because we cut them to fit exactly, there's
generally a tight fit around the corners. As long as you or someone else
does not try to take a knife to it to lift up a corner of the tactile
protector and damage the built-in plastic of the OtterBox, there's no reason
why it cannot be reused by whoever gets your phone.

I hope this explanation makes sense. *smile*
Please let me know if you have anymore questions.

Subject: RE: Otterbox Impact Case and SpeedDots Screen Protector

Hi Amy,

I'm not complaining here, as I'm quite happy with my purchase, 
and expect to buy from SpeedDots again when the new iPhone is 
released.  But, I was looking to figure out the differences 
between the various Otterbox cases, just for curiosity, as I've 
had the Defender case for sometime now and now the Impact with 
the SpeedDodts screen protector.  Anyway, when looking at the 
description for the Impact case, it seemed to indicate that it 
came with a screen protector and cleaning cloth.  Thus, am I 
correct in assuming that the said screen protector and cloth are 
the ones shipped when we order the combo case and protector from 
SpeedDots, whereas one just ordering the protector from SpeedDots 
and the Otterbox case elsewhere would get the ones from Otterbox, 
as well as the ones from Speeddots?  Again, not complaining, and 
the price I paid for my purchase was quite reasonable.  But, I'm 
more trying to figure out things, as I quite often give my 
current iPhone to a sighted family member when I upgrade to the 
newest model.  And, I'm thinking they might not want a protector 
with the dots on it.

Not sure if that app uses flash or not, but it is mostly accessible only.
Not when you try to play it. I wouldn't think that was a flash issue since
you're not linking to Facebook's webpage but I'm not completely sure.
No clue if anyone has tried to contact the developers though. I was

Hello, Rob.
Between models for iPad, iPhone, and iPod, we've tried about 20 different
brands of clear plastic screen protectors from different vendors.
These are just your standard screen protector; no different than what a
sighted person would apply over their screen.
We are always looking for ways that our product can be improved; making
application easier for those who are blind/visually impaired. If you have
found a screen protector brand or design that is easier to apply, please
feel free to contact us at SpeedDots. We take all of those requests very
seriously, and research everything.

Take care.

Subject: Otterbox Impact Case and SpeedDots Screen Protector


I've had my Otterbox Impact Case with the SpeedDots Screen
Protector for a few weeks now.  And, although I'm quite happy
with my purchase, I do have some questions.

First, I just kind of guessed and put the iPhone in the Impact
case, as I wasn't sure of the correct way.  But, it kind of
looked like to me that the bottom part of the case where the
charger and speaker and the like are is the part of the phone
that goes in the case first, and then one pulls the top part of
the case over the top part of the phone.  Is this the correct
way; or, does it even make a difference?

Second, when I kind of slowly run my finger over the keyboard,
say in a practice note, when I touch where each dot is, the
proper letter for that dot is spoken.  However, once I start
trying to type a bit faster, when I hit the dot say for the N the
letter M might be spoken, or the letter P might be announced when
I hit the letter O.  But, if I then tap that dot again, the
correct letter is then stated.  I'm thinking this might be
correct behavior, as the dots are smaller than the space allotted
for each letter, although it has also occurred to me that I may
have put the screen protector with the dots on it on the phone
just a tad incorrectly.  Thus, clarification on this would be
appreciated.  And, as I'm in Kentucky visiting my family all this
week, I would have ready access to sighted assistance if needed.

RE: #Ot, A Possible Scan You Should Know About

2012-08-10 Thread Amy Billman
If you run some sort of Malware removal tool such as malwareBytes (you can
download and install it on the Ninite site,) the calls will stop in a matter
of a day or two.
They've gotten your info from your computer.
Giving the number out while nice is not helpful, as there are several
variations of this number. This was also published in an article from
Microsoft as well as some other techy related sites, notifying folks about
this very scam.
But the important piece of all, is that you have malware.
My partner was getting similar calls, sometimes three and four times a day.
He ran anti-malware tools on his computer, and they stopped calling. I've
spoken personally with similar individuals who have reported the same
scenarios with similar results after removing the Malware.
 
HTH.

Hi all,
 
I just got a call from someone who said he was in Jackson, California. He
said he is from the Windows technical team, and he called me because I am
the windows registered user. He said there is an Internet protocol that
sends the information to them. I was told there are lots of viruses on my
computer that need to be deleted as soon as possible, and that my computer
was sending out lots of error reports. He said they wanted no personal
information from my computer, and that the work would be done free of charge
because the company wants to help. .
 
I called back and got another person. They both had foreign accents.
 
Here is the telephone number in case any of you get the call. (209)
257-3232.
 
GOD BLESS,

RE: tweetlist question

2012-08-07 Thread Amy Billman
Hi Rebecca,
Maybe there's a better way to accomplish this, but I generally use the go to
username option under the "more" tab in the app. Once you're in there, you
can type their twitter user name in the search box and it'll take you to
their timeline. From there, you can follow.
You can also do it if you're inside a tweet of theirs, but the important
point is to somehow be in their profile or timeline.
Hope that helps!

RE: Depositing Checks with the Wells Fargo App

2012-07-26 Thread Amy Billman
I have not tried to deposit with the Wels fargo App, because they haven't as
far as I know, rolled that feature out in California yet. Last I read, they
were only making it possible in specific markets. California was not one of
them.
I do know several sighted folks who use the option with Chase Bank however,
and they say it's flawless. So I suppose blind or sighted, it really depends
how good you are with the camera.
Unfortunately, there are just as many sighted folks who cannot do this as
there are blind.

As far as Chase is concerned, my sighted friends have problems with this
feature. Imagine the worst scanning event of your life, multiply that by
100, and now you know what it is like to deposit checks with the app.
In all fairness, they have to be secure, so the scans must be perfect.

RE: Hulu

2012-07-25 Thread Amy Billman
Hi.
The Hulu app works extremely well with voiceover on the iPhone. They've got
something right that Netflix still hasn't been able to do for whatever
reason; a completely well-functioning app with voiceover. Netflix works but
it takes some work arounds; hulu works without any of these.
You do have to have a paid Hulu-Plus subscription to stream programs via
iPhone or iPad however.
As far as airplay, there's none supported for the phone, but you can do it
on the iPad with the mirror in the task switcher.
Suppose the reason for no airplay on the phone is more due to the fact that
nobody's going to want to mirror that tiny screen onto for example, your
apple TV and tV screen. So no audio airplay on the phone, but you can work
around that on the iPad.
 
HTh.

RE: Bluetooth Keyboards

2012-07-23 Thread Amy Billman
Or, you can also simply replace them when the time comes.
Those batteries can last quite a while, though of course, as is with
anything, it's based on how it's used, but most I've known with that
keyboard, it can take anywhere from three-six months to as long as a year
for you to need replacements.
I consider my use to be average, daily, but I use my phone more than the
keyboard, and I've finally had to replace my batteries after almost a year.
BTW: you may already know this; maybe not, but there's a piece that you turn
with a coin or if you have long nails to bet to the batteries. It's on the
side opposite the round button used for turning the keyboard on and off.

RE: The Sherlock Holmes Of OCR Apps

2012-07-21 Thread Amy Billman
I think this scanning apps discussion is very interesting.
I am one of those who could not get prismo or Saytext to work at all, but
can with Text Detective.
I suppose that really it all comes down to, (just like with anything else,)
what works for one isn't always going to work for another.
Meanwhile, am I the only one who wishes that if they bought an app and
didn't like it or it didn't work for them, but maybe it would work for
someone else, that they could gift their coppy to them? At least then your
money isn't going to waste. *smile*

Vashaun, I think that any scanning app that requires us to tap the "start
scanning" button while simultaneously attempting to  hold the camera steady
and straight is not considering the needs of those of us who are totally
blind. It may work if you have enough vision to help you align, but it sure
isn't working for me! I am sorry I bought it.  What scanning success I have
had has been with either Prizmo, where one can use one's voice to activate
the camera shutter, or SayText, where I can tap the button prior to raising
the camera.

RE: Removing the Stocks Folder:

2012-07-21 Thread Amy Billman
It's my understanding too, that you cannot remove any of the folders that
come with the phone.
I've seen others make a folder and call it unused or something like that,
move all that stuff into it, and put it somewhere so it's not a bother.
Now, I don't know if you can jail break and if that will enable you to
remove such things.

RE: typing with fleksy

2012-07-20 Thread Amy Billman
I have personally found that the combination of Fleksy with the tactile
screen protector increases productivity, not decreases it.
Because you already have a means of knowing exactly where the letters are in
space on the keyboard, by touch, when you type with Fleksy using your
tactile screen protector, you'll increase your chances of being able to
quickly have words recognized.
At least, this has been my own personal experience, and the types of
customer feedback that I've received since the release of this app.
Every user is going to have a different experience as is with *everything*,
but that's the data we've gleaned from personal use as well as outside
sources.
Just chiming in on an old topic.

  The Fleksy key board is larger than the iPhones standard key board so the
tactile screen protector will not be helpful when typing with Fleksy. Ignore
it.
Once you are used to Fleksy typing will be so much faster than it was with
the tactile screen protector.

remember, do not wait for the letter to be spoken. Just approximate where
each letter would be, then flick right to hear the word. If it is not the
correct word, flick down until the correct word is spoken. Then continue
typing.

RE: Bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone [was "Re: Backup batary and keyboard for iPhone 4S"]

2012-07-17 Thread Amy Billman
That is the exact keyboard.
I believe the people at A T Guys have also got a manual on their web site.

It is the exact same keyboard that you can get from the guy in the UK if you're 
talking about Computer Room Services.
Unfortunately, anyone outside of the US cannot get it from any US sellers, 
which includes AT Guys. we have new postal regulations that prohibit anything 
with internal lithium iON batteries being shipped internationally via USPS. 
This however does not extend to shippers such as UPS or Fedex, but such 
shipping costs would be really expensive and likely more than what the product 
is worth.
You can read more about it here:

Regarding complaint/accusation of treating the list as buy/sell/trade.

2012-07-16 Thread Amy Billman
It's an announcement. Simple as that. It is not a products for sale or
classified ad.
If list moderators prefer that I do not do this, please afford me
professional courtesy and contact me off list.
If that does happen, then by all means, I will not post such announcements
in the future.
I have purposefully made it a point *not* to clutter the list with traffic
that involves marketing/sales of any kind.
I am posting from my personal account, yes, at times making announcements
for my company, but I am not here to market products; which is why I also
participate on the list in ways that have absolutely nothing to do with the
products that we sell.
If someone happens to ask a question on list about our products, I am not
going to not answer them or provide them support if needed; though I will
ask that in future, in light of this statement, that unless you feel that
your question would be of benefit to list members on the whole, that you
email me off list, or via our web page by using the "contact us," form.
Griping and complaining adds clutter to a list that already has heavy
traffic, and I do not want my company or similar postings to create more
such traffic.

I don't think this is a buy/sell list, and I think mentioning coupons
like this that everyone on the list can take advantage of isn't any
different than people pointing out when accessible apps become free in
the App Store or go on sale. In my mind, this is a lot different than
someone mentioning they have an iPhone 4 or a Verbatum keyboard for
sale, which I wouldn't want to see on the list, but that's obviously up

I won't get started on professional looking email addresses because that
wasn't the point of this topic, but I'll just say that this goes hand in
hand with that...
I do think it showing your phone number could very well have to do with the
setting that speaks to communicating with other fleksy users. I believe, but
am not sure, that if you disable that option in settings, it might not show
your phone number...
I don't know if it also disables its ill attempt at marketing/self promotion
as well.
But that was my first thought... A huge turn off unless that can be
disabled.
The technology is neat, and Apple will steel it some day and implement such
an auto correct system, and when it does, it will be fabulous!
IMO there needs to be such an auto correct with the iPhone, without the
added annoyance of having to be dependent on another app to get it;
especially not one with such a price tag.
I do recognize however that with the development that went into the app,
that such a price point from a business perspective would have been more
than necessary in order to make some profit off what would have been a very
hefty development cost.

Subject: Fleksy & Self-Marketing

All,

Have you noticed how if you send an e-mail from Fleksy or a SMS text
message, if you've not inserted your phone number or e-mail into settings,
it shamelessly advertises itself, or certainly, from the postings I've seen
on list, appears to.

I'm just wanting to check if I'm right before I make a fuss of this, but, if
it is the case, I'm not especially impressed with this policy, its not a
free product, its charged and a relatively high charge at that. Not to say
its not worth it, I happen to think its amazing and to coin Apple,
revolutionary, but, this sort of marketing tactic is usually reserved for
free or lite apps, not charged full ones.

I also do not like the way it inserts my e-mail address or phone number if I
have added these to settings.

RE: Speed dots Micro keyboard

2012-07-14 Thread Amy Billman
Hi Jennie,

I've been out of pocket and am just now seeing this email.
Your order was shipped, and in the email that I sent to you this morning,
there is a link for our manual that goes in detail about the buttons and
what they do. Pairing is easy and the button is obvious however.
What I mean by obvious, is that it's a big button on the under side of the
keyboard. :-) The manual also has detailed pairing instructions.
It may be easier to understand when you have the physical unit in your hand.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

RE: Otterbox cases and dot covers

2012-07-12 Thread Amy Billman
Hi rob,
I don't know if this will help you regarding your adhesive, but sometimes
you can give it more life so-to-speak by applying it on a steamy surface.
Since these are standard screen protector material, we've read up on online
forums where folks have applied and re-applied their screen protectors; and
if your surface is just lightly wet, you can often get it to stick again.
We've also had customers say that they have washed them and managed to
re-stick them.
My point is, that it never hurts to google tips and tricks about re-applying
your clear plastic screen protector. There's some interesting methods out
there.
Just thought I'd share!

Subject: Otterbox cases and dot covers

Well, duly impressed.  I had the Otterbox Impact arrive today.  I also dug 
out the speeddots cover which I'd got disillusioned with.  Put it on and off

so often trying to get it on straight, it had long since lost adhesion. 
Labels work well as they're a plastic faced paper backing and you get to 
line it up before committing the adhesive.  Still, I extracted the 3GS out 
the Defender it lived in, fiddled with this Speed Dots cover until it was 
finally in the right place, all be it peeling anywhere I touched it.  Then I

tried a bit of ingenuity in how I put the phone to the new caseand 
got the whole thing in with one try and without lifting any of the loose 
corners.  The Impact case is very neat, it's the padded shoulders I think 
are the most effective, but it holds the darned dots thing down so well, 
I'll get to use it properly now.

So well done for recommending the Impact and will now join the endorsement 
for that model.

Thanks, RobH, R!

Sometimes the white ones are inaccurately titled as iPod touch 5th

will be the name of the next generation of iPod Touch most likely.
So cool when vendors mistitle things and cause confusion. LOL

RE: OtterBox impact case

2012-07-10 Thread Amy Billman
I've seen people drop their 4 and 4s in a parking lot and crack the glass.
Security blanket or not, glass is glass. And if you don't have Apple care,
they do nothing for that.
Sure, it does take just the right fall to crack it or scratch it, but it's
still very much possible.

I've come to the conclusion that the iPhone is very-well made. In fact,
I've seen people drop their phones with no protection and rarely a
scratch. This is the 4 and 4S I'm talking about. However, glass being
glass, if hit in just the right angle and right way, still can shatter.
I wonder if the cases out there are more for show than for protection,
but still, if it gives someone piece of mind, then they should get the
best protection out there. If even one tiny scratch appears on the
phone, you will easily lose $100 value when and if you try to resell it.
When I had the 3GS phone it lived inside the Otter Box Defender case for
99% of its life, but I find with the 4S, that I'm not as paranoid. Not
only that, but I want to have colorful cases and cases which show off
the iPhone rather than hiding it. The TPU cases I mentioned are colorful
and have either an s-pattern or circle pattern in back which go nicely
with the over all design of the phone, and they provide some protection
against dropage as well.

That's my take on all this for what it's worth.

The Impact case doesn't require a special one. Just the standard or advanced
model of screen protector for the 4/4s, the one on our site for $7 will do.

Subject: I got a new bt keyboard

Hi. I got a new bt keyboard for my iPhone. I am trying to figure 
out how to use it. I got it paired ok. Now I have a few things I 
am trying to figure out. What is quick nav? What is the 
difference between turning it off or on? Also, how do you get to 
the home screen on the keyboard without having to press the home 
button? Can you use the keyboard to get to the app switcher? Is 
there a full list of commands to use with bt keyboards and 
iPhones out there somewhere?  This is just a generic keyboard not 
an apple one. Thank you.

2012-07-10 Thread Amy Billman
Yup... and, when my friend's six year old decided to take her phone into the
bathtub with him and send it for a swim, you'd better believe she was damn
happy to have it in the Defender case. LOL
And I do suppose if I had kids my case choices might be a lot different. :-)

Personally, I have the impact, not the Defender. There are a couple of
reasons, the most important one, being that for me, it's ugly IMO.
When you have it in the Defender with its belt clip, I feel like a
construction worker. I know they have all sorts of girly colors, but the
style/design is just off putting. Plus, I'm careful. I take care of my
phone; meaning it's either in my purse or backpack or something unless it's
in use, and even then I can keep it in my pocket if I have earbuds or
headphones of some kind.
So for me because I'm not scaling tall buildings, mountain climbing, hiking,
or diving, it's not a need.
The other thing is I want my bulk to give me something useful. If the
Defender for example included battery with its bulk, like the juice packs or
other similar cases, maybe that would make me change my mind. But it
doesn't. It provides bulk without a purpose.
Now, I have a friend who is the mom of a very active six year old boy, plus
she breaks stuff; a lot. For her, the Defender is a good choice and she
loves it because it can take a beating and doesn't impact the phone in any
way.
For me, if I'm not using a battery case, I use the impact case. It's thick
rubber, that the phone just sits in, with the screen exposed. I like it also
because if I want to switch cases, it's easy to get in and out. I find the
Otterbox a project, one that's not worth my time. Just my two cents on the
subject. *smile*

Hi, actually neither. But not because I don't like Otter Box. In fact, I
highly recommend them. I'm just a person who is a free spirit and likes
trying new things and different things to experiment. So, I'm currently
using some cases which are made of a tpu rubber, this is a bit of a
harder rubber, and doesn't feel like the silicon rubber that the Impact
case feels like. This means less friction, but also less catching on
things like in the pocket. It also means a bit of less bulk. In fact, I
just got an order for 9 tpu cases which are all different colors ranging
from purple, to blue, to clear, to neon yellow. They don't cover the
bottom part of the screen like the impact case from Otter Box does, but
it does form-fit the phone very well and really let's it shine through.

The nice thing about these cases is that you can put them on and take
them off with ease, yet they stay on the phone very nicely. I also like
the fact that I can go back to my impact case whenever I want. The one I
don't use any more is the Defender case. I finally got tired of the
bulk, but again, this isn't anything bad against Otter Box, since that's
the purpose of the case.

RE: OtterBox impact case

2012-07-10 Thread Amy Billman
OtterBox makes several different case models; beyond just the Impact and
Defender.
The Defender is bulky and your phone is enclosed in a hard plastic shell
with rubber.
If your phone is enclosed in the OttterBox you have, chances are it's the
Defender.
The Impact is low profile. Your phone sits in the rubber case with the
screen exposed. The rubber covers the sides and bottom.

RE: OtterBox impact case

2012-07-10 Thread Amy Billman
Hi Stacey,
I personally have never had them catch on anything and I will run around
with it in my pocket a lot.
That being said, it might help you to actually hold one in your hand to see
if you like the overall feel of it.
I recommend to everyone who comes and asks about cases, that if they can, go
to a cell phone store or somewhere that cells accessories, and feel the
cases.
Nothing replaces holding it in your hand. When we've done conventions, we've
changed the minds of folks who were sure they needed the Defender case, and
then we've also had people who wanted a thinner type skin than the Impact.

RE: OtterBox impact case

2012-07-10 Thread Amy Billman
Wow. Did your impact case catch on things in your pocket? That's very
interesting to me.

See, because I'm a tad neurotic, I really don't like the back glass exposed
or not covered at all. Again, that's just me. I'm even neurotic enough to
put one of the back protectors over the glass, which is also then of course
sitting in the Impact case. LOL
I don't know why that back glass being exposed bugs me.

RE: Revisiting the OtterBox Defender

2012-07-10 Thread Amy Billman
Hi Suzanne,
 
Unless someone here has actually removed them and has had it go well, I can
tell you it's not going to be an easy process.
Yes, you do want to remove your phone from the case completely.
You then need to remove the screen protector. The Otterboxes are tricky
because you're applying our overlay on top of the plastic sorta screen
protector that comes with the case.
I can tell you that the display (the plastic screen protector on the
Otterbox) does pop in and out. I would recommend popping that out, removing
the overlay and re-sticking it properly, (after insuring the surface is
clean,) and then putting the display back in place in the case. Then, you
can put your phone back in.
 
Hope this helps.

Subject: Revisiting the OtterBox Defender
 
Hi again,
 
I mentioned a few days ago that my SpeedDots overlay for the OtterBox
Defender was put on upside down, and Raul sent a very helpful e-mail saying
that it could be reversed.  Having not been the one to put my phone in this
case in the first place, I'm wondering if someone could describe the process
of getting the screen protector off.  Specifically, I know I need to remove
the rubber shell, the outside layer of protection.  But do I need to also
take my phone the rest of the way out of the hard shell case before removing
the SpeedDots overlay?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Suzanne

RE: Why get iPhone and iPad?

2012-07-10 Thread Amy Billman
There are several programs that you can use for notes, and at least a couple
that I personally use, you can sync them with Dropbox.
The ones that I'm thinking of are Drop Text and nebulous Notes.
I know a few college students in particular that are actually using nebulous
notes for note taking.

But they're not the only programs out there I'm sure.

I own both, and what I use depends on what I'm doing.
I still gravitate to my iPhone because it's small enough and I can hold it
in my hand.
That being said, I love typing on the iPad over the phone because of the
bigger keyboard.
So it's great for couch surfing. LOL
It's lighter than any netbook or laptop, (at least the ones that I've
owned,) so when I've gone out of town, I take the iPad, my phone, and a
bluetooth keyboard; because if you're having lengthy email or IM
conversations, it's easier still to do all that typing on a keyboard to save
time on occasion.
The iPad speaker is better for streaming.
iBooks on the iPad is a beautiful experience, and some of the native iPad
apps for recipes are made even better by the bigger screen.
But really, despite all that, I'm not sure I'd own one as a blind person
were it not necessary in order to properly test out our screen protectors;
unless I were a college student. Then, I would be on Rehab's bureaucratic
butt to buy me one, since it's cheaper in the long run than the over priced
note takers.

I'm not really sure why if you cannot see the screen beyond wanting a note
taking/ebook reading solution for school, people tend to own both unless
they just love techy toys. The visual appeal of all that screen real estate
and having their apps in HD, is not something that the average person who is
sight impaired can benefit from unless they have quite a bit of sight.
Just, my two cents; or more accurately, it's probably only worth about one.

Hi,

I've heard of folks getting both, but I'm not sure why.

Does the iPad offer somethings more or different? I can perhaps understand
low vision folks benefitting from the larger screen for more or larger text.

I'm just curious; I'm certainly open to getting an iPad, too, if it provides
something additional or different from iPhone.

Thanks. Keith

The rubber is kind of thick and offers good protection against impact, hens

Even the OtterBox cases can get gunky. A little Windex on a paper towel or
even an alcohol wipe can work wonders!
They don't damage the case or any tactile screen protector/s, and you don't
need a lot of it. I've also personally used Clorox wipes if that's what I've

I've had mine now for a couple of years, starting with the 3gs and now the

That lasted for about a month.
Before that, I had a Nokia 6620 and then the Samsung Jack; all quite
different from the iPhone.
I was convinced it was perfectly cute, but not functional. Now if it ever

Amy,

The defender I bout at the store with my iPhone, I believe, adds weight to
the phone as well as bulk, and, as you explained, there is no protection for
the screen. Unfortunately, I was used to carrying a small little Nokia, and
the iPhone is just different and still a little awkward to manage, though I
did find a section of my wallet into which my phone does fit quite well. I'm
still learning, and we will get there ultimately. It is just different from
what I have used for many years.

We recommend unless you already have a case, purchasing the protector and
Defender from us directly; that way, we can insure a proper fit.
We measure and cut the screen protector to fit the case, and apply it prior
to sending.
Yes, if you only purchase the protector from us and buy the case elsewhere,
from time to time there may be additional adjustments that need to be made
to the screen protector to make sure it fits. The reason for this, is
because you can buy three different Defender cases from three different
sellers, and two might be the same size, while one is cut differently. This
is a widely published and widely known manufacturing flaw. I've personally
seen it in reviews for that particular case.
While we can measure and cut our screen protectors to fit over the majority
of Defender cases, the occasion might arise where the one you bought from
your cell phone retail store is just a fraction off. This is something
beyond our control, unfortunately.

As I understand it, the SpeedDots for Otter Box Defender cases are cut to
match the cases.  However, once in a while, adjustments need to be made by
the end user.  If you would rather know for sure that the overlay is a
precise fit, SpeedDots sells the Otterbox Defender with the screen overlay

We do not have them for sale currently in any agencies or retail stores that

If you are interested in purchasing any of our products, and prefer not to
order online if you are paying with a credit card, you may contact me off
list, and I can make arrangements with you to assist you with placing an
order by phone.
Also, if it helps, we also accept PayPal and Google checkout as forms of
payment if entering in your credit card online is a concern.
We are not unfortunately at either of the two big national conventions this

is at the ACB convention currently going on in Louisville, so if you are in
the area or know someone who is that can purchase for you, this is also an

Our custom screen overlays provide guidance and facilitate

touch screen devices by placing a single dot over each letter and
control, making it easier than ever before for blind and visually
impaired individuals using the Voiceover screen reader to orient 
and
input text and access screen controls quickly and efficiently.

Our standard model of screen protector fits the iPhone 3GS, the 
iPhone4,
and the iPhone4S. It contains a dot on each letter and input 
control,
and costs only $7.00.

We also offer an advanced overlay that contains similar markings 
on the
buttons and input controls, however only the letters F and J on 
the
virtual keyboard contain raised dots. The advanced model also 
costs only
$7.00!

 Actually it is possible to put on the OtterBox screen protector
 speed.version on upside down. The reason for this is because 
this screen
 protector has been cut shorter to fit over the OtterBox face it 
self. This
 means that the top portion and the bottom portion of the 
speed.protector is
 not there. So I can see why somebody who wasn't paying attention 
would do
 this. Or rather, I can see how someone who isn't paying

 this.  Hopefully this explanation adds some clearity  to this

What tactile guides? How many are there on the screen cover? Is 
there one for each button? How would that work because the 
buttons are always changing depending on what screen you are on. 
Where can you get this tactile screen cover? .

 Actually it is possible to put on the OtterBox screen protector
 speed.version on upside down. The reason for this is because 
this screen
 protector has been cut shorter to fit over the OtterBox face it 
self. This
 means that the top portion and the bottom portion of the 
speed.protector is
 not there. So I can see why somebody who wasn't paying attention 
would do
 this. Or rather, I can see how someone who isn't paying

Dianne,
Even the OtterBox cases can get gunky. A little Windex on a paper towel or
even an alcohol wipe can work wonders!
They don't damage the case or any tactile screen protector/s, and you don't
need a lot of it. I've also personally used Clorox wipes if that's what I've
got nearby.

Thanks so much. I am going to look at that site again. The case I have is
one I purchased with the phone and covers the back and edges of the phone,
but not the front. I bought an OtterBox case into which I can slide the
phone, but it is a royal pain you know where when you need to get at your
phone in a hurry. The other thing which bothers me is that when the face of
the phone gets dirty, I don't like the feel of it and I am always cleaning
it on my pants or something to get rid of the offending gunk. I know. I am
kind of funny about such things, but that's how it is.

Jessica,
While the OtterBox and its built-in screen protector will protect your phone
quite well, if you want the tactile overlay, it has to be applied on top of
the Defender case since it encloses the phone.

RE: SpeedDots Otter Box Defender Question

2012-07-09 Thread Amy Billman
We recommend unless you already have a case, purchasing the protector and
Defender from us directly; that way, we can insure a proper fit.
We measure and cut the screen protector to fit the case, and apply it prior
to sending.
Yes, if you only purchase the protector from us and buy the case elsewhere,
from time to time there may be additional adjustments that need to be made
to the screen protector to make sure it fits. The reason for this, is
because you can buy three different Defender cases from three different
sellers, and two might be the same size, while one is cut differently. This
is a widely published and widely known manufacturing flaw. I've personally
seen it in reviews for that particular case.
While we can measure and cut our screen protectors to fit over the majority
of Defender cases, the occasion might arise where the one you bought from
your cell phone retail store is just a fraction off. This is something
beyond our control, unfortunately.

As I understand it, the SpeedDots for Otter Box Defender cases are cut to 
match the cases.  However, once in a while, adjustments need to be made by 
the end user.  If you would rather know for sure that the overlay is a 
precise fit, SpeedDots sells the Otterbox Defender with the screen overlay 
already on it.

You do not have to cut them for the 4.
The only customers that we have had cut them for the 4, are those who really
did not want to spend the extra $3 US.
Because there are no OtterBox protectors for the 3gs, those and only those
would have to be cut to fit.

RE: SpeedDots Otter Box Defender Question

2012-07-09 Thread Amy Billman
Hi Rob,
The speedDots protector can be cut to fit the OtterBox for the 3GS, but we
personally do not sell them pre-cut to fit that case. The 3gs Defender case
design was such that it required all four sides of the protector be cut in
order to fit over the top, and the fact that there are already
inconsistencies with the OtterBox cases not being uniform, we determined
that it would not be possible or wise to sell them for the Defender case for
3gs.
The Defender cases for the 4/4s are much easier to cut, and are designed
more uniformly; so we can confidently sell them.
I hope this makes sense.

Got it.  I have the full Speeddots screen protector.  I bought a screen
protector originally when I got the phone.  My Speeddots fit right over top
and over the whole original screen protector.  Next new piece of equipment
is a extra battery of some sort and maybe a keyboard.  However, Speeddots
helps quite a bit.  Still want Fleksy, though.

Actually it is possible to put on the OtterBox screen protector
speed.version on upside down. The reason for this is because this screen
protector has been cut shorter to fit over the OtterBox face it self. This
means that the top portion and the bottom portion of the speed.protector is
not there. So I can see why somebody who wasn't paying attention would do
this. Or rather, I can see how someone who isn't paying attention could do
this.  Hopefully this explanation adds some clearity  to this puzzling
situation.

after conferring with a friend who has a similar setup, the answer became
clear:  the Apple Store genius who had put on the SpeedDots overlay had put
it on upside down.  Is this something I can redo, or do I pretty much need
to buy another one at this point?  Thanks for any suggestions.

RE: Why get iPhone and iPad?

2012-07-09 Thread Amy Billman
I own both, and what I use depends on what I'm doing.
I still gravitate to my iPhone because it's small enough and I can hold it
in my hand.
That being said, I love typing on the iPad over the phone because of the
bigger keyboard.
So it's great for couch surfing. LOL
It's lighter than any netbook or laptop, (at least the ones that I've
owned,) so when I've gone out of town, I take the iPad, my phone, and a
bluetooth keyboard; because if you're having lengthy email or IM
conversations, it's easier still to do all that typing on a keyboard to save
time on occasion.
The iPad speaker is better for streaming.
iBooks on the iPad is a beautiful experience, and some of the native iPad
apps for recipes are made even better by the bigger screen.
But really, despite all that, I'm not sure I'd own one as a blind person
were it not necessary in order to properly test out our screen protectors;
unless I were a college student. Then, I would be on Rehab's bureaucratic
butt to buy me one, since it's cheaper in the long run than the over priced
note takers.

I'm not really sure why if you cannot see the screen beyond wanting a note
taking/ebook reading solution for school, people tend to own both unless
they just love techy toys. The visual appeal of all that screen real estate
and having their apps in HD, is not something that the average person who is
sight impaired can benefit from unless they have quite a bit of sight.
Just, my two cents; or more accurately, it's probably only worth about one.
:D

Hi,

I've heard of folks getting both, but I'm not sure why.

Does the iPad offer somethings more or different? I can perhaps
understand low vision folks benefitting from the larger screen for more
or larger text.

I'm just curious; I'm certainly open to getting an iPad, too, if it
provides something additional or different from iPhone.

Thanks. Keith

RE: simplytreet

2012-06-30 Thread Amy Billman
Hello:
I believe the confusion/misunderstanding is a result of a typing/spelling
error.
I don't think the app is Simplytreet, (with treet misspelled.) I'm wondering
if it's not that the word tweet was typed incorrectly and perhaps it is the
app called Simplytweet?
I searched in the app store, and with google, and it appears that there's a
free and paid version of this app. Price wise the paid doesn't look too bad.
You can see more here:

I hope that helps to clear up any confusion!

RE: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?

2012-06-18 Thread Amy Billman
Hi Suzanne.

Yes, in general whether you're blind and using a tactile overlay, or sighted
and simply want/need to have your phone in an Otterbox Defender case, screen
sensitivity is an issue.
If you go onto Amazon and read reviews of the Otterbox Defender cases,
you'll see many folks complaining about the fact that the built-in screen
protector that's part of the OtterBox case alone, impacts screen
sensitivity.
Any distance from the phone screen itself, is going to effect the overall
sensitivity when it comes to screen contact.
That being said, we sell a lot of the Otterbox screen protectors, so it
doesn't appear to be anything that's a deal breaker for most.
It might be helpful for you if someone on this list who uses the Defender
with our screen protector can weigh in on this discussion to give you a bit
more info about overall screen sensitivity and how they feel it does or does
not impact their use of the phone.
I only can speak for what our customers say and how many we sell. I prefer
not to use that particular case because if I must have bulk on my phone, I
want it to mean something; so I either use a case that will extend my
battery life, or if I want something more low profile, I'll use the Otterbox
Impact which does not require a special cut protector and does not enclose
my phone.
It's personal preference really.

As far as sliding the phone into the belt clip, it's like a holster. You can
put your phone inside its shell in one of two ways; either slide it into the
clip with the screen side facing out or in.
Facing inward, once snapped in place, the phone is completely enclosed and
the screen isn't exposed; so you'd need to slide the belt clip off to use
the phone.
With the screen facing out, of course, if you've got it that way and you're
running around with it on your belt or something and you run through the
bushes, your protector could scratch.
I've seen folks carry it both ways. That again is a preference thing from
what I've noticed.

I'm emailing you off list about the specifics of replacing your screen
protector, because I have some additional questions for you and do not want
to clutter the list unnecessarily.

Subject: Re: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not?

Hi Amy,

I think I would like to try the OtterBox Defender and would love it if you 
could send one of the screen overlays for that particular case.  I just have

two questions:
1.  You said that the case has its own built-in screen protector.  I looked 
online and they referred to it as a membrane that fits over the screen.  I'm

guessing that what that would mean is that, once you put on the SpeedDots 
overlay, you would, in effect, have two screen protectors.  Does that affect

screen sensitivity?

2.  You said that your overlay doesn't peel off the OtterBox because you're 
not sliding your phone in and out of a shell.  Instead, your phone stays in 
the shell all the time.  I understand that, but how then does it fit into 
the belt clip/holster?  I would imagine that the back of the phone would 
slide into the holster, with the screen facing out.  Is that right?

Thanks so much for answering my questions.  I appreciate your time.

I was talking to a coworker today, who recommended that if I get a phone, I
get one of the tactile screen overlays.  He said it makes it a lot easier
for him to know where to touch the screen.  I realize that opinions are
probably as numerous as the number of people asked, but I thought I would
ask anyway.  If you have one, as you have gotten use to using your phone,
has it gotten in the way more than helped?  If so, is it easy to get off the

phone?  Thanks for any opinions.

2012-06-17 Thread Amy Billman
Hi Suzanne,

Do you know what kind of case it is that you have? What name and who makes
it?

I can tell you that the screen protectors that we sell to fit over the
OtterBox Defender cases, are measured and then cut to fit them exactly.
This works though because of the design of that case. You don't have to take
your phone out in order to use it, so the screen protector can just fit over
the top of the case, your phone goes inside; done.
We've had other customers say similar things about the juice pack cases... 
If you are constantly taking your phone in and out of a case with that kind
of design, it can cause your protector to peal like that, especially if it's
not on straight.
We have only ever tested our screen protectors with one other case and that
is the Griffin, and our screen protectors will not fit them properly.

Hi Amy,

I have a question.  I use a case for my iPhone 4s that has two parts:  a 
hard part that is like a shell into which my phone very snugly fits, and a 
back belt clip that the phone and shell fit into.  It's not an OtterBox, but

it may be similar.  When I bought one of the SpeedDots overlays, it very 
quickly got ruined because the edge chafed against the shell when I slipped 
the phone in and out.  I see that you sell overlays for the OtterBox and 
wonder if you could describe how they differ from your standard ones.  Do 
you know if they work with cases that are similar to the OtterBox as well? 
Thanks.

Suzanne

Hi.
Actually, we've managed to isolate all of the issues with pealing.
These are standard clear screen protectors; the exact same that your average
sighted person would use to protect their screen; just with tactile markings
embossed.
If they are applied onto a perfectly cleaned screen, and applied straight,
you have a hell of a time removing them. I speak from personal experience;
having applied hundreds at conventions.
If any screen protector with or without markings is applied correctly, you
need either very long nails or a butter knife to peal up a corner to remove
it.
Also, if you have any clients who are dissatisfied with their product, or
are complaining about the pealing, please take down the web info in my
signature and have them contact us.
We're not a huge company, so customer service is something that we have time
for and understand the importance of. *smile*
I'll work with anyone, but they have to let us know they have a problem with
the product so that we can correct the situation.
 
Take care.

You say you have both models.  Where does one get them?  Also, with this
overlay, can one use the touch typing method, or does the overlay prevent
sliding your finger around until you find the letter?Or perhaps, the overlay
makes it easy to find the letters, so one does not have to slide their
finger to find them?   Tomorrow, I will ask my coworker to show me his phone
with this overlay on it, I do not know which overlay he has.

Hello, I had my iPhone4s for several Months before I bought mine tactile
overlay. 
 
I liked my phone before, but now the overlay is pretty handy.  I bought both
models, because I couldn't decide.  I currently have the model on with all
of the keyboard and smooth spots for f&J.  I find myself using the overlay
more for orientation then speed of typing.  It is kind of cool to know
exactly where the send button is or the address bar.
 
:) then there are those spots that I find by accident.  For example, if you
move your finger on the left, just above the keyboard, you'll find yourself
at the start of an email message.  When you're in that app of course.
 
BTW, the overlay has sped up my typing a bit, but I'm spoiled with
dictation.  ;)

I do like the fact that I can type completely by touch without voiceover and
that I can truly use my phone, without the need of lugging around a

Yes I make them and sell them, so this may seem a bit not quite objective,
but we all used them and gave them away for testing prior to selling them.
If they hadn't taken off, we'd have no company.
They aren't for everyone which is quite true, but then again, neither is an

It's nice to have choices. I love my bluetooth keyboard, especially if I'm
sending a lot of very long emails, but it's not a need anymore because of
the overlay.
It's $7. Most would spend that on a meal or something, so the price point is
affordable where keyboards cost much more.

LOL! You're lucky Traci!
My boyfriend who runs the business with me and I of course have the same
iPhone, and use the same screen protector layout, and at times also have our
phones in similar cases.
This means that the only way we can actually tell them apart is by unlocking
the screen and looking at the layout of the home screen.
To make things even more interesting. His mother even though she is sighted,
keeps one of our screen protectors on her phone to use as a marketing tool.
It works surprisingly well. But when we're all together, I've almost left
with her phone instead of mine. Thankfully she doesn't use Voiceover. A very
easy clue. LOL
It would be nice to not have a house full of phones that all look the same.

Interesting, but I was under the impression that the carrier can detect
if you've popped the SIM card into a smart phone. I was told this by an
AT&T rep and by someone who got charged for a Blackberry plan when he
popped his SIM card into a borrowed Blackberry.

As did I. If not, that's a very expensive iPod touch!

Now, if you get it from Craigslist it might be different; though I've known
folks who have stayed hidden under the radar but that it's only temporary.
In other words, eventually the carrier be it aT&T, Verizon, etc, find out
and put the phone on a data plan.

RE: split screen on the iPad

2012-05-17 Thread Amy Billman
Hi.
 
The left side of the screen are your catagories; such as airplane mode,
general, etc.
If you want general for instance, double tap it so that it's selected, and
the right side of the screen will give you all of the options contained
under settings/general.
 
Hope that helps and makes some sort of sense.
That damn split screen was a pain for me at first. *smile*

Hello Sandy, this is a valid question on list and may help others who are in
a similar situation. What I usually do is hold the phone with my left hand
in portrait mode, meaning, right-side-up where the charging port is at the
bottom. With my right hand I use my index finger to type the letters. Since
I have touch typing enabled I simply slide my finger to the letter I want
and then lift up and the letter is entered. I have done the thumb typing at
other times, but that's usually when the phone is in landscape mode, meaning
on its side. For beginners I usually recommend you keep the default tap type
mode so that you have to double-tap the letter after finding it. Meaning, it
behaves just like all other buttons and icons on the screen. If you do it
this way, what you can do is find the letter you want and with your index
still on that letter, tap any other part of the screen with your middle
finger. This is a split tap, and basically acts as a double-tap and the
letter is activated.

I hope this helps.

RE: typing on the phone

2012-05-15 Thread Amy Billman
It's always interesting to see how others use their phones.
I for one cannot type with my thumbs. Even when I had my Windows Mobile
phone with a keyboard I could not type with my thumbs.
I'm left handed, so for me it makes more sense to type with my left index
finger.
I couldn't stand the split tap method even as a beginner, and in fact, I had
one of the first 3gs's before they updated the iOS so that touch typing was
an option, and I got rid of it.
Needless to say, I prefer touch typing. For me, I find that the split
tapping actually slows me down. Plus, I type a lot without voiceover
feedback because of having a tactile screen, and I find typing flow is a lot
more fluid.
Obviously that doesn't work for everyone... this is just my personal
preference.

RE: iPhone Charger

2012-05-14 Thread Amy Billman
Apple has copy protection and they prefer that you use their cables and
chargers and headphones and even the juice pack cases that they sell.
Only problem with that, is that from time to time, whether it's authentic
apple or not, you have that problem, apple's very own copy protection works
against them.
A friend of mine has a Mofi Juice Pack case (the only one Apple claims it
allows you to use with your phone,) and in fact, the only one they sell at
the store. Well, when hers quit working and started giving her that error,
they refused to support it because there's no fixing that bug.
Point is, it doesn't seem to matter whether or not you use official apple or
not; every once in a while, you see that.
This is the first one we've sold with that problem I will say. We do test
everything before we send it out, but nothing's full proof.
And lots of folks buy extra charging cables from Amazon, Ebay, etc, and
those are almost never real; though the instances of problems like this are
extremely rare.
I personally find it disconcerting that my current six-foot non Apple cable
will give me no errors, while my supposedly real one that I got in the box
with my phone from the Apple store, will give me that very same error if I
plug it in. I don't get it.
But tomorrow, it might work just fine. *shrug*

RE: More feedback on speed dots?

2012-05-14 Thread Amy Billman
Hi Traci,
We recommend to all of our customers whether they purchase directly through
us or one of our resellers to make sure that their phone is completely clean
prior to applying their screen protector.
This applies even for screen protectors without tactile markings. If you put
it on straight, with no corners hanging over, it will last much longer.
Putting it on crooked or onto a screen which is not free of dust, oils, lint
or debris of any kind, will cause it to peel.
We have had customers tell us that they like to switch between their
standard and advanced models, so they'll remove one, clean the phone with
glass cleaner and dry it with the lint free cleaning cloth we provide, and
stick the old one to a shelf or place on their desk, and put on the other
one. This, without having them peel.
Also, if you purchase it from us directly, (I cannot speak for any of our
resellers,) we will replace them if they peel if they peel within a month of
purchasing.
Honestly, if our instructions are followed for insuring screen cleanliness
and it is applied straight, there's no reason why the protector will not
stay in place.
We've had over 1,800 in circulation since July of last year, and very few
replacements.
Also, just FYI: We do tell folks that if they are in any way uncomfortable
with sticking the screen protectors onto their device that by all means,
have someone assist you with this process. It is however, possible to do it
without vision. My partner and I who own the company, as well as a friend of
ours who helps us make them, are all totally blind, and have applied many
screen protectors on iPods and iPhones and done it right the first time.
Point is, it can be done; though I don't blame anyone for not wanting to try
it! *smile*

Subject: More feedback on speed dots?
 
Hi all,
 
I went through some of the viPhone archives and read about folks using the
speed dots screen covers.
 
I was hoping to get some more feedback on the 2 models.  If I understand
them correctly, 1 model has all the letters covered with dots except f&j,
and the other model has f&j covered.  Both models have the other dots
sprinkled around.
 
I'm curious who is using which one and if they feel they are worth it.
 
For those of you using the model where nearly all the letters are covered,
are you able to text without really paying attention to voiceover?  Say for
example, you are in a noisy place.
 
My last concern is the screen placement and longevity.  I read a handful of
messages where folks couldn't get their screens to stick and stay in place.
How annoying for a $10 purchase.  Any further thoughts on this?  Is it a
good idea to take the cover to Verizon and have them fit it?
 
Thanks for the info.  In a perfect world I'd have a braille display, but $10
is far more realistic then $1700.  :)

RE: new with phone and tactile screen

2012-05-13 Thread Amy Billman
Hi Fred.

The tactile markings on our screen protectors are for typing (the locations
where the letters are on the virtual keyboard are marked,) as well as
orientation.
So for example, I have the standard layout on my phone because I do a lot of
typing on my phone, and prefer to not have an external keyboard all the
time.
But when I'm not in text messaging, email, or any other app where the
virtual keyboard is visible, the dots on the screen can also help me quickly
find where a particular folder is on a certain page. So in my case for
instance, because of how I have my phone organized, I know that the
messaging app is located where the letter Q is on the virtual keyboard. If I
don't want to swipe around my screen, I can just go to it. Obviously that's
not something that would apply to everyone, because it's dependent on how
your screen is organized, but that's how I've used it.
In other apps, like Heytell for instance, I use the markings where the
letters are as a means of orienting so that I can quickly find the "select
contacts" button.
If you do use a tactile screen protector, (and perhaps other users can also
attest to this fact,) you really can do such orientation within other aps or
for locations of folders etc on the screen.
Also, standard iPhone controls in both our standard and advanced models are
marked, so for instance, if you're in mesaging, you can easily locate the
compose, send, add from address book, and cancel icons.
As someone who had a hell of a time dragging apps into folders, I also find
that the screen protector helps me for that. It helps me to go straight, and
also I can have a reference point on the screen where the folder I want is
located.

I hope this makes sense.

I don't use a tactile screen cover, but I'm curious how one is able to 
determine what is on other pages of the screne, or is it just a series of 
reference points for the placement of the apps and the items in the dock?

RE: new with phone and tactile screen

2012-05-13 Thread Amy Billman
Hi Judy
 
Many new iPhone users prefer our basic or standard model, because it makes
typing and overall orientation to the screen easier.
If you are still learning your iPhone, the tactile markings can also help
you with swiping straight.
In general, if people come to us as more experienced iPhone users, we
recommend the advanced layout, which has less dots. Also, if folks prefer to
type on an external bluetooth keyboard rather than the virtual one on the
phone, the less dots are helpful.
I've personally demonstrated our tactile screen protectors at conventions
and workshops, and have found that once they can see it on a phone, most
people who have assumed that the more dots would be bothersome, have
actually found them more helpful rather than hindering.
I think it's easy to make an assumption when you can't hold it in your hand.
 
We do tell people that the tactile screen protector is for use in portrait
orientation only, but we've also found that this is the prefered orientation
for most voiceover iPhone and iPod touch users.

RE: Can anyone recommend a blue tooth or usb folding keyboard for an iPhone 4S

2012-04-25 Thread Amy Billman
Hi Scott.
I apologize for the delay in responding to you.
No, the keyboard doesn't fold.
It's a mini keyboard about the size and thickness of the iPhone.
We've had customers tell us that they use their thumbs, while others do not.
I think that one depends on how a person prefers to type on a smaller
keyboard like this one.
 
The two position power switch is for turning the keyboard on to use it, or
off when not in use to conserve battery.
The other advantage of course, is that being able to turn it off, will mean
that you can throw it in your backpack or whatever, and you're not going to
be accidentally pushing keys. People seem to like the off switch because
they can tell if it's truly turned off as opposed to something like the
Apple Bluetooth keyboard, which is an awesome keyboard, but you turn that
off by holding in the button and hoping it works. J
 
Let me know if you have any other questions.
 
Take care.

Amy,
 
THe one thing I was not clear about is if the keyboard is one of those
little things you have to use your thumbs to type on or if it is a more or
less regular keyboard you can use all fingers to type on. ALso the
information indicated the keyboard had a two position power switch and I was
curious what that is about. I was considering this keyboard, but these
questions came to mind. Also, if it folds is that the size referenced in the
description? THe keyboard is about the size and thickness of the phone when
folded?
