Re: App to see power light?

[Andrew J LaPointe]

Good afternoon Richard, I have the color identifier that also has a light 
detector. That part works quite well. I also for $25 got a keychain type of 
light detector from laws actually not loves it was the tech guys. That works 
quite well. also small enough to keep in your pocket of purse or whatever 
you’re using. so those two are standalone. Anyway, good luck.

Re: Be My AI and what it may teach us?

['Andrew Walker' via VIPhone]

I have carried out accademic studies at some depth into the role of facial 
experessions and other types of what is sometimes termed body language. 
Firstly it is not possible to determine someone's inner emotional state 
from expressions reliably. Just because someone is smiling it does not 
always mean that they are happy, it can be just the reverse and smiling is 
a type of social signal. It is not even possible to determine that someone 
is lying by their body language and facial expressions, although the better 
someone knows a person the more reliable this can be. Studies of police 
interviewing suspects are no better than random chance at determining 
whether someone is telling the truth. The fact that someone can smile for a 
photograph just indicates how fake facial expressions can be. Anyone giving 
you a description of someone else is doing this through a system of mental 
filters and will vary wildly. I take the AI descriptions as much the same 
as a real person, that is, with a pinch of salt. I don't mind a degree of 
subjectivity since all such descriptions, AI or not are going to have an 
element of subjectivity. One of the great things about the AI is that it 
determines what it thinks is the most important element of the picture and 
appears to give this to you first. This saves time, and it usually seems to 
me it gives the people first  and then other items as to whether they might 
be important or nearer the middle of the picture. This is always going to 
be subjective and personally I don't mind it and indeed I find it the most 
useful feature. I know others have a different opinion which is fine too.

Hi And, since you already have blindsquare, you may not need it. However, what 
I like about it is that as you are walking down the road, it will tell you the 
house numbers as you pass. Only the house numbers. Then, if you change streets, 
it will tell you the new street, And then the address is only just the numbers. 
It doesn’t babble a lot. It does not do turn by turn directions, it just helps 
you keep track of where you are and what street you’re crossing.

Subject: Ciri Responding Oddly When Asked to Call Someone 

 

Hello,

 

I have an IPhone 8 & am current on IOS.  Ever since updating IOS, I frequently 
get an odd response when I ask Ciri to call someone in my contacts list.  I 
will say call person X & she will say what do you want to know about person X.  
This may happen several times before I give up & open the contact to tap on the 
phone # to call them.  Even funnier, I have a sister-in-law named Mickie who is 
on my VIP contact list & is my ICE contact.  Today when I asked Ciri to call 
her I got a web site telling me who Mickey Mouse was.  This happened a couple 
of times.  I obviously have tried speaking very clearly to no avail.  It is not 
the end of the world to have to open the contacts to make a call but I’d rather 
have the convenience of just saying call person.  Is anyone else having this 
problem?

 

Thanks,

Sherry Wells

I just had a look at it and while It's not terribly expensive to me that is 
just another gadget which in my case I might use a few times and then it would 
end up in a drawer.
If you feel this would help you then by all means give it a try and if you find 
it's not what it claims to be and you buy it from Amazon you can always send it 
back.

Subject: accessible smart body tape measure?

Hello,
In an attempt to become more fit and to lose some weight, I purchased the 
arboleaf digital scale and it is very accessible with its app, but I saw that 
it recommends that I get a smart tape measure to take body measurements.

Does anyone know of a n accessible smart tape measure? I saw several on amazon 
like the Renphro smart tape measure, but wonder if anyone has any experience 
with any of the smart tape measures?

Accessible flash card app

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hi, while readingthe Tid Bits Letter this morning, I came across an app
called accessible flashcard. Has anyone had any experience with this app? I
think I could use such an app but it is not free and if it would still work
although it is an older app I don't want to purchase it if it is older. I
trust your opinions and if you used it I would get it. Thanks so much. Andy

RE: WayAround

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

I use Way Around and love it. Could be a bit expensive but, I found it well 
worth it. Very easy to use with smart phone and you can add as much as 
information on each tag (RFI) as you need. I like to add the color, Brand, Size 
and where I purchased the shirt, pants etc. on the tag. These never failed me 
so far and Customer service is very nice. Andy and Leroy

The result? Doing more of the things you want, with more confidence and more 
independence.

Sometimes the little things can cause the biggest frustrations. WayAround is 
great for all the places in your home or office where you'd like better

stickers, you can put them just about anywhere.

You don’t have to “scan” them.

If the camera is pointed at the QR code, it is automatically recognized.  Much 
easier than dealing with bar codes.

You can be many feet from the TV to capture a QR code.  

 

 

Like I said in a previous post, using the Code Scanner app in the Control 
Center works the smoothest.

Open the control center, double tap on code scanner, point the camera at the QR 
code, like I say, you don’t have to have it perfectly located like a bar code, 
and if the QR code has a link, you will be taken to the link, etc.

 

HTH,

Another question: How do you scan them? I assume they are like bar codes, in 
that you have a general idea where they might be, then move the phone around 
hoping to hit it. Does it vibrate or beep to let you know when you hit it. 
Finally, I have heard in tv comercials where they want you to scan the qr code. 
How close does one need to be before the phone has some chance of finding it?

That way, you can bring up the control center, and select Code Scanner.

The other way is to go into settings, camera, and ma'e sure recognize codes or 
whatever the exact phrase is, has been checked.

Then you can open the camera and point it at the code and it should work.

You may have to hit something else in there, not sure.

Not only is the tone a little/ or a lot, quieter, but it seems longer to me, 
and if you have any difficulty hearing it clearly, you probably start talking 
before Siri is fully listening.
If using Hey Siri, I don’t' have any issues.
If holding in the button, you have to wait until the tone has fully stopped 
before it will hear everything you say.

Iphone se 2020 problem

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hello All, I have the Iphone se2020 with the ios 16.?? Update. Anytime I ask
Siri to call Joe or anyone, ask to open an app or just ablut most things,
Siri comes back with  something off the wall. For an example, Siri call Joe
Walters, Siri may comeback and say which one?, or this is on the Web, or
many other crazy things. At this point, I will act like I am mad and ask to
call someone and Siri will call and do what I ask. Sometimes Siri will give
me the phone number of the person I asked to call instead of
calling...Anyone else have this problem? Thank you. Andy and Leroy

Hi all,
Currently using Voice Dream Reader to read mp3 books.
Problem is if you miss something in a book it is hard to move back a small 
amount rather than a percentage.
Other apps will let you move in 30 second increments from the control centre.
With VDR you can only move next track.
The slider control in notification centre doesn't seem to work.
If I've missed anything or if my skills need improving please let me know.
TIA.

iPhone 14

[Andrew Roberts]

Hi

 

This week I have taken delivery of my new iPhone 14.  It is running the latest 
version of iOS 16 – 16.1

 

On all previous iPhones I have had I have been able to alter the volume of a 
phone call, whether incoming or outgoing, using the volume buttons on the side. 
 However with my iPhone 14, whilst I seem to be able to alter the volume of 
incoming calls in this way (although not by much) I don’t seem to be able to 
alter the volume of outgoing calls using the buttons on the side and I have to 
say the volume currently on outgoing calls is a bit low for me.  Does anyone 
know whether this is a common problem with the iPhone 14 or whether I 
potentially could have a hardware fault?  When listening to anything through 
the phone’s loudspeaker the volume buttons work fine.

 

All the best,

 

Andrew

volume on playback

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hello, I have the SE2020 with the latest ios 15.? My question is, when I ask
Siri to tell me the time, what the Dow is trading etc., I have to swipe to
the left to read the answer. When I ask Siri to send we'll say, send message
to Kimberly cell, I have to do the same, swipe to the left to get to the
info field and so on. How do I correct this? I used to be able to ask Siri a
question and he would speak it to me without any reason to do anything.
I also have the problem of a 2 finger double tap to activate a voice command
but can't hear the ping stating it is ready for the command. Where do I find
the place to raise the volume for that?  This just happened yesterday. I am
not sure if the volume is all the way down with that or something is off.  I
checked the volume in the places I know but, I must be not understanding
something here.  Any solutions or suggestions? Thank you so very much. Andy

Apple Watch Series 7

[Andrew Roberts]

Hello everyone and a very happy New Year to you all.

For Christmas I was given an Apple Watch series 7.  I couldn't wait to set it 
up and I had no problem pairing it with my phone and getting it all working.  
It has been working perfectly until today but this evening I have encountered a 
problem.

About 2 hours ago I received a text from my sister, the notification of which I 
read on my watch.  I then retrieved my Bluetooth keyboard, turned it on, and 
responded to a few texts using my phone.  Having finished my texts and turned 
the Bluetooth keyboard off I then returned to my watch but unfortunately 
Voiceover isn't speaking at all.  Not only is it not speaking but I can't hear 
the clicks when flicking around the screen either although I can feel some of 
the vibrations and haptics so the watch is obviously working.  I have been into 
the watch app.  Voiceover is definitely turned on and the volumes look OK.  
Having said that, some things do seem to have changed by themselves.  For 
example my screen curtain was on whereas it was definitely turned off before.  
Does anyone know what the problem might be and how I can get the watch talking 
again please?

Thank you for any help that might be forthcoming.

Andrew

Subject: Re: Super sense gets between 2 and 3 stars

 

Dennis, I agree with you. 

I've owned SuperSense for about one year now.

I gave up requesting for the option to have it start at the menu instead of 
immediately scanning whatever you last used. That would be a simple toggle 
option to add; but nada.

They implied, if not almost promised, that column recognition was right around 
the corner starting a year ago ... yet nothing.

What SuperSense does, it does fairly well; but it is an annoying interface.

I end up defaulting to Seeing AI for much of what SuperSense does because the 
interface is so much easier.

And now that column recognition is in Voice Dream Scanner, it remains my go to 
scanning app.

When prompted, hold your tagged prescription within 4 inches of the phone.
The app will scan your tag and start reading the Rx name and instructions out 
loud."

I haven't anything to scan but was hoping I could at least find my way to the 
icon in the pharmacy section to which they make reference and I can't seem to 
spot it anywhere using VoiceOver. Is it just me? Can anyone else successfully 
locate this icon or element and point me to it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Take good care and enjoy all there is to celebrate this season.

Robin

RE: Cannot Locate "Screen Recognition"

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hi, What I did was to go to settings/accessibility/voice over and scrolled to 
screen recognition. I had to download the screen recog and after it was 
installed, turned it on.  I then went to the rotor and found it waiting for me. 
I would suggest that you use it only when you need that extra help as it can 
mess somethings up.  All you have to do is turn it off in the rotor.  I hope 
this will help you. It was my problem solver thanks to this list. Andy and Leroy

I emailed Schwab Teck support to let him know so he will be able to help 
someone else with the same problem I had.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that is precisely the frustrating thing about 
this; I have gone in to the rotor, rotor actions and quick settings and have 
not been able to find the "screen recognition" item.

 

When I have deployed the search procedure in settings, it comes back with 
exactly that; that the "screen recognition" item should be in rotor and quick 
settings. I have no idea what the age is going on with my iPhone.

Hi, thank you but I found how to get Screen Recognition and now have it in the

I suppose this may be a worthwhile tactic to use with a problem I’m having with 
the WalMart iOS app.  I use the app to place items in the virtual cart, but 
when I try to place the order the “Place Order” button cannot be found (using 
VoiceOver).  I’ve reported this a number of times in the WalMart “Feedback” 
framework, but to no avail.  I called into customer service and was told by the 
?customer service? person that we (meaning blind folks) are not a large enough 
customer base to warrant the cost of correcting the problem.  I find this to be 
terribly disingenuous since the problem did not manifest until July or August 
earlier this year.  The company could afford to break it, but can’t (more like 
won’t) afford to fix it.

 

The particularly maddening aspect of this problem is that if I use Safari to go 
to the WalMart web page and the checkout screens, I’m quite able to locate the 
“Place Order” button!

 

I do apologize for being so wordy in this message, but I feel that if other 
blind customers using the iOS app report this problem perhaps they might find 
that we (blind folks) are deserving of better customer service!

App not announcing submit

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hello, I have the Schwab Mobile App and it wants me to login. Now, I am
asked for my username and password.  All good to this point. Now I am asked
to add a code that is sent to me via text. After adding the code, I need to
hit submit. I am using the latest Schwab App with the IOS 15.2 along with
the SE 2020 Phone and the submit  is no place to be found. The Teck at
Schwab is also using an Iphone but with the 12 model along with IOS 15.2...
He can hear the submit with voice over.  Is there another setting I need to
look at so I can get to submit?  Thank you. Andy and Leroy

RE: talking time app

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hi Richard. I will go with the talking time you mentioned. No, the Apple rep 
did not say anything about maximum announcements. I can live with on the hour 
and half hour and hope that more announcements are added in the future. I 
didn't realize that announcing the time as often as it did would be so 
beneficial to me.  Thank you for suggesting this app and I will go through the 
settings as you mentioned.  You are so very helpful for this group.
p.s. I am still working to purchase the Orbit 40 sometime soon. I am looking to 
get a 12 month plan with a credit card. I know that PayPal has 6 months and 
will go with that if I can't find anything else.  Andy and Leroy

Did Apple say anything about a maximum number of announcements?
The app called, Talking time, $1.99 can only give up to 64 announcements per 24 
hours.
If you only did hour and half hour, that would be 48, so you would be safe.
There is a new release coming soon.  I have been working with the developer.
He is quite keen to make it fully accessible and is adding some nice new 
features.

If you decide to go with Talking Time, here are the settings you want under 
notifications for Talking Time.

Allow Notifications on.
Under Alerts Heading:
Make sure nothing is selected, so Allow on lock screen, Allow in notifications 
center, and Allow as Banner, are not selected.
Sounds On.
Under the Announce heading:
Announce notifications off.
Lock Screen Appearance heading:
Show Previews, never.
Notification Grouping, Off.

There are a limited number of voices available from Apple, but good enough.
The app works when you take it out of the app switcher, and takes next to no 
power since it only uses power when it makes the announcement.

Here is the link:

Hi, I upgraded to 15.1 and since then, I do not hear my time go off
automatically.  I had the time go off every 15 minutes all day and night.
This was very convenient for me for many reasons. I have Chine and Speaking
Clock and checked the settings.  Is there an App that is rather new and
would work with ios 15.1 so I could set it to notify me every 15 minutes? I
downloaded Time Clock but that was a waste.  I know most here wonder why
would he need the time announced every 15 minutes... It is just a very
convenient announcement for me as it helps me keep track of my phone
conversations and letting me know the time as it is.  Thank you for any
help.
I know there were many here that had similar problems after updating to
15.1.  Andy and Leroy

Re: Wayaround question

[Andrew J LaPointe]

Hi Aimee, I have that little device and I just think it’s useless for me 
because it’s just as easy to use my iPhone with the app I don’t feel that it 
would save too much time.

RE: Voiceover problem

[Andrew Roberts]

Hi Donna

 

Thank you so much. That’s worked which means I can use my iPad again.  What I 
don’t understand, and it would be great if someone could explain it to me, is 
if screen recognition is meant to recognize items on the screen which Voiceover 
doesn’t normally recognize, why does it make the majority of my apps unusable?

 

Thanks again Donna,

Andrew,

 

Open the app switcher, hopefully settings is in the app switcher, put voiceover 
focus on settings or an app, turn the rotor to screen recognition & flick to 
turn screen recognition off, turn the rotor off screen recognition & tap to 
open settings or the app that voiceover focus was on. Of course, you can also 
flick to remove the app from the app switcher. Repeat the previous steps for 
all unusable apps in which screen recognition has been enabled. Any questions 
feel free to ask.

Hi Richard

 

Thank you for your email.  However turning screen recognition back off is my 
problem now because as I mentioned in my original email I am unable to navigate 
any of my apps and that includes settings.  I need to be able to get into 
settings to turn screen recognition back off.

1.  Turn screen recognition back off.
2.  Get the U.s. Open tennis app.

I just use the radio side, but it works fine and so I am guessing will the 
option to watch the matches.

 

Then, you could airplay it to your TV or just watch it on your iPad.

Hi

 

Following installing an update to my Amazon Prime Video app onto my iPad Mini 
5th generation earlier today I had problems when trying to hear the live 
coverage of the US Open Tennis tournament as the buttons to watch the video, 
which normally appear after the detailed description, were nowhere to be found. 
 I therefore decided to play around in the Voiceover settings and turned on 
screen recognition which, if my understanding is correct, is meant to enable 
Voiceover to recognize items on the screen when moving around apps which 
Voiceover might not otherwise recognise.  However, having turned that on and 
selected the apps I wanted included, although I can move around my home screen 
OK I am unable to move around any apps and that includes settings.  Is anyone 
able to advise me how I can rectify this problem please as I am unable to move 
around using neither the touch screen or a Bluetooth keyboard.

 

Thanks for any offers of help,

 

Andrew

problem now because as I mentioned in my original email I am unable to navigate 
any of my apps and that includes settings.  I need to be able to get into 
settings to turn screen recognition back off.

1.  Turn screen recognition back off.
2.  Get the U.s. Open tennis app.

I just use the radio side, but it works fine and so I am guessing will the 
option to watch the matches.

 

Then, you could airplay it to your TV or just watch it on your iPad.

Hi

 

Following installing an update to my Amazon Prime Video app onto my iPad Mini 
5th generation earlier today I had problems when trying to hear the live 
coverage of the US Open Tennis tournament as the buttons to watch the video, 
which normally appear after the detailed description, were nowhere to be found. 
 I therefore decided to play around in the Voiceover settings and turned on 
screen recognition which, if my understanding is correct, is meant to enable 
Voiceover to recognize items on the screen when moving around apps which 
Voiceover might not otherwise recognise.  However, having turned that on and 
selected the apps I wanted included, although I can move around my home screen 
OK I am unable to move around any apps and that includes settings.  Is anyone 
able to advise me how I can rectify this problem please as I am unable to move 
around using neither the touch screen or a Bluetooth keyboard.

 

Thanks for any offers of help,

 

Andrew

Re: Thermostats for the Blind

['Andrew Walker' via VIPhone]

Hello Mike. I have the Tado thermostat which works well with Voiceover. I 
can set schedules, alter temperatures in the app. It can also be used with 
the Amazon Echo and may be used with Google but I have not tried this. It 
can track your movements and turn on or off if nobody is at home. I have 
had this for three or four years.

You have to change your Orbit Braille display to computer Braille, both input 
and output, in order to use the Braille display with the BARD app. To change 
the Braille input to computer Braille, use the following key strokes: space 
with dots 2-3-6 twice to change the input to computer Braille, and space with 
dots 1-2-4-5 twice to change the output to computer Braille. This way you will 
be able to read BARD books on your Braille display. When you are finished using 
the BARD app, you can change the Braille grade back to Grade 2 with the same 
key strokes. I do this all the time to read Braille books and magazines with 
the BARD app.

RE: Tiles versus tags

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Iknow from the demo that the SE 2020 is not able to use the Tag but, there is 
another way to use them with the 2020.  I am going to look at this..  Andy and

There are some tiles with replaceable batteries.

I got mine last summer and have replaced the batteries once.

God bless!

I don’t’ know the current price of Tiles, but Airtags seem a tad bit expensive.

But, AirTags have a replaceable battery, which unless they have changed, Tiles 
did not.

 

I would like someone to do a comparison of the sound volume.

When Tiles were fairly new, I thought they would be a great thing for some of 
our older clients, but the sound was so low volume they were next to useless.

 

It seems from the demo at the Apple Event, that you can track them more 
accurately than the Tiles.

 

That is all I know, and guess.

I am writing to ask for a bit of clarification. I do understand that air tags 
can be traced and located outside the user's immediate area; otherwise, just 
what are the defining characteristics of air tags as compared with tiles?

 

Thanks.

Bose frames

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hello All, can I ask for your opinions on the Bose Frames that will not
block my hearing during my walks?  I believe that there is another headset
by Bose do not cover your ears also.  I need something that sounds great so
I can use Goodmaps and soundscape and some other apps.  What I am doing now
is, I have my I Phone in my backpack on the strap.  It works well but, I
would like to have a bit more privacy but at the same time have total
ability of hearing traffic and other sounds around me.  Although I mentioned
Bose, it doesn't need to be.  I just want a quality piece of equipment that
will be comfortable and sounds great and looks good.  Thanks so much for
your time and any suggestions.  Andy and Leroy

I always read the details of updates before updating. Winston stated in the 
details of this update that VoiceOver users would no longer be able to scan 
from the image preview. 
He enhanced the visual functionality of the image preview. 
My guess is that we should not have been able to use that from the beginning, 
but it worked. The capture button has always worked, and was designed for our 
use. 
Not to mention you can also enable the auto capture feature.

followed thee instructions on document placement none of the text on the page 
was clipped. 

The only apps to come near to Supersense that I tried freehand were Prizmo Go 
and Voice Dream Scanner.

 

Next I used the same document with my iPhone using a Fopydo document stand.  
Having setup the stand and placed my iPhone on the document shelf I used a 
Bluetooth keyboard to control the iPhone, so as not to disturb it or the 
document.

 

Using Supersense’s  Smart Scanning option it detected I was scanning a document 
and captured the page.  Once again it gave an accurate OCR of the document with 
no text clipped.

 

Voice Dream performed in a similar manner but there were a couple of errors and 
some text was clipped.

 

Prizmo Go too clipped some text.

 

I tried Seeing AI, KNFB Reader, Envision AI, Prizmo and Prizmo Go.

 

Out of thee apps Supersense did the best job on the document I used.

 

This is by no means a scientific result and your findings may differ from mine. 
 This is just my initial finding.

 

I shall experiment further with other features of Supersense and compare them 
with other apps where appropriate.

iPhone 12 and Voiceover

[Andrew Roberts]

Hi there,

 

This morning I took delivery of a new iPhone 12.

 

I have just gone through the setup process and elected to restore my apps etc 
from my most recent iCloud backup.  

 

Towards the end of the setup process I was asked to download and instal the 
latest version of the iOS which I did.  Upon completion of that process the 
iPhone showed me a screen indicating how much of the iCloud restore was left 
and the length of time it would take.  Now that that has completed, Voiceover 
is still loaded because I can hear the clicks but there is no speech.  I have 
tried double tapping the screen with 3 fingers in case speech had been turned 
off but that wouldn’t appear to be the case.  I have even tried turning 
Voiceover off and back on by triple clicking the side button but all I get is 
clicks and no speech.  Does anyone know what has happened and how I can get 
speech back please?

 

Many thanks for any help,

 

Andrew

The Facebook app for iOS

[Andrew Roberts]

Hi all,

 

I live in the UK and since we first went into lockdown back in March the church 
which I regularly attend has been holding its services online via Facebook by 
way of a live video.  

 

Up until recently, by default the video always launched in just part of the 
screen, leaving the rest of the screen available to show various comments which 
those attending the service posted.  The option to view the video in full 
screen was always available, however, for those who wished to do that.  However 
since an update to the app a couple of weeks ago the video now goes into full 
screen by default and I can’t find any way of either adding a comment of my own 
or viewing those comments posted by others.  If I double tap on something which 
seems like it will collapse the video I merely either get taken back to my 
newsfeed or to my watch.  Does anyone know please what I need to do to view and 
add comments?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

All the best,

 

Andrew

My apologies for getting the wrong speaker and link. I tried fetching the link 
from the email history but it got destroyed by those in the thread who have 
their email clients set to plain text. I looked up a Tribit Bluetooth speaker 
costing $57 and didn't realize there was more than one. At least the one I 
posted was rated at 4.7 while the Storm model was rated 4.6.

 

Andrew, hopefully if the one I posted isn't exactly what you want, you have

The dimensions of this speaker from the Amazon website are: 7.80 x 2.70 x 2.80 
inches. I believe that is width by height by depth. The info came from this 
website:

Andrew, I am not very good with dementions, however, the speaker can be used 
with the victor stream no problems.  I don't use mine with the victor stream, 
but this speaker and a lot of others I know about can be used with the victor 
stream.  I've got a lot of speakers I'm trying to sell that would be perfect 
with the victor stream.  I like to use a speaker with my stream and watch 
described movies it works very well.

The tribet speaker is a great speaker and I'm sure you'd like it with your 
stream.

As most of you know, I love a variety of ring tones and alerts on my phone.  I 
have over 1500 on my phone and iPad right now.  Below is a link to a public 
shared read only folder of over 2 ring tones and alerts.  There in folders 
and categories. There already in the ring tone format, just pick what you want 
and copy them to your device.  You will need at least 7GB to download the 
entire collection.  Enjoy!

For those who have trouble with downloading from an iCloud shared folder, or 
doesnm’t have iCloud drive.  Here is a direct download link from pCloud.  
Again, make sure you have at least 7GB of space for this folder.  Get it here

iCloud for Windows

[Andrew Roberts]

Hi all,

I would like to instal iCloud for Windows on my Windows 10 PC, even though I 
appreciate it isn't all that accessible.  I have 3 reasons for wanting to do 
this:-

First, I would like access to my iCloud inbox within Microsoft Outlook
Second, I would like access to both my iCloud calendar and my iCloud contacts 
on my Windows PC
And third, I would like access to my files on iCloud drive on my Windows PC.

Can anyone please advise me whether I am best to download the version of iCloud 
from the Apple website which is apparently for Windows 7 or Windows 8, or 
whether I should download the Windows 10 app from the Microsoft Store?  
Whichever I download, is anyone able to advise the best way of accessing the 
different options available in that programme?

Many thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Best wishes,

Andrew

There may be a button to switch to aux output.  I don't have an echo.
I'm considering purchasing one myself.  Also, I'm sure you can't do both, have 
the echo connected to your iPhone via bluetooth and use it with an aux cable 
plugged in at the same time.  Good luck.

Andy, I just purchased a speaker from Tribet which I really think gives some of 
the bose speakers a run for the money.  It was either the storm box or box 
storm.  It has surround sound, is waterproof,and easy to distinguish controls.  
It gives a series of beeps from low to high when powered on and vv when off.  
The blue tooth pairing uses two tones to help u know when device is 
successfully paired.  You can adjust the bass (add bass or take it away).  I 
caught it on sale from amazon for somewhere in the $50 price range.  I have 
successfully paired it with the original apple SE phone.  Hope that helps.

Hi, I was asking around for a great quality Bluetooth speaker for my Iphone and 
my victor stream 1st gen.  It would be best for me to ask my friends here as 
you all have likely a demanding high quality opinion on sound.  I have a Bose 
speaker and I just don't like the boom boom sound.  I would like to find a 
speaker where you can adjust on the speaker the volume, treble and bass levels 
to suit my needs.  Can I ask you all on suggestions on a not too big Bluetooth 
speaker that also can connect to my victor stream?  I like to listen to music 
and audible books as well as Bard n l s books.
I also have a lansing Bluetooth speaker but like the Bose, doesn't have the 
various treble and bass choices.  I greatly appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks a million.  Andy and Shubert

RE: Speakers

Yes, I know of that as I noticed someone selling a transmitter for the Stream.  
I am looking to get the new Stream as I love the one I have purchased back in 
2008.  It still works great.  Not sure if I should shell out $375 yet.  Thank 
you for making sure I know about the transmitter.  Andy and Shubert

Andy,

I expect you're already aware of this but just wanted to mention that you must 
have a Bluetooth transmitter connected to your first generation Stream in order 
to connect it to a Bluetooth speaker since that Stream does not have Bluetooth 
built in.

The Chime app is working fine on both of my devices now.

One is on the Gold Master of 14, which I gather is essentially the same as the 
release version.

To get this app to work, you have to make sure that in the settings, 
notifications, chime is set to be allowed on the lock screen, and have sounds 
on.
In the app itself, keep tapping the spot to select on the hour, half hour, 
quarter hour, etc., until you are on the one you want.
Then set the time range.
Then set whether you want it spoken or the various sounds.
Then, double tap on the on item.
Then, wait and see.

Hi Richard, I was out and started to hear Chime working again.  She goes off 
every ¼ hour…  Pretty strange that it did that as I didn’t do anything else to 
set it up.  I am glad I didn’t shell out $4.99 to get the Talking Clock.  
Thanks Andy and Shubert

Hello All, I just purchased the S E 2020 from the Verizon Store and will
receive it by Wednesday.  I want to thank everyone for suggestions and
opinions and directions of all kinds.  I am excited for this as I wanted the
256 gig model.  The LifeProff is not available for this phone but, I got one
that will maximize the protection of the phone.  I forget the name of the
case but it has something to do with Box or something.  It comes with the
table charger.  The rep told me that I can place the 6s close to the S E
2020 and will transfer everything to the new phone...we'll see what happens
with that.  But, I just want to thank everyone as I had no idea what phone
was in the cards for me.  Andy and Shubert

R son is correct there is an iPhone 2020 SE,

It's a new phone but in the same shape as the 8 but has a new processor, the 
same model as in the iPhone 11 range from 2019, It has a single camera And home 
button with touch id,  And yes comes in a 64, 128 and 256 gig storage models.
A very nice phone and well worth the price they currently are.

If you're using a 6s then the SE 2020 would be a very similar format to use.

I am told that the  S E 2020 also has a glass back as the 6 s is metal.  Does 
anyone have any comments on this?  Would I be good to upgrade to the s e 2020?  
I did notice that when I installed the Audible.com app that to purchase books 
from the app, I would need IOS 13 or higher.
According to my settings, I am up to date with IOS 12plus.  I don't want to 
spend $549 unless I am getting a much better phone.  Greatly appreciate any 
help here.  Andy and Shubert

RE: The S E 2020?

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hi, I am also totally blind and don't need a large screen.  It may be better to 
use when I place it my backpack pouch.  I like to use Blind Square and need it 
to fit so to close the pouch flat.  Andy and Shubert

I got a new SE 2020 about three months ago and I just love it.

It is the same size as the eight, and I still wanted a home button.  It has the 
newest processor.

It will be smaller than your 6S, but I don't need a large screen, as am totally 
blind.

Good luck.

I will echo what you have heard so far.
Apple mostly just calls it the iPhone SE, but to help distinguish it from the 
first SE, people call it the SE 2020, SE second Generation, etc., I call it a 
great phone.
Here is the link to the apple page with the details about it:

Hi,

I went from a 6 Plus to the 2020. I quickly got used to smaller form factor and 
the performance has been good. Just get a good case for it. With the glass 
back, it's a slippery little devil. The lack of a separate earbud jack is 
annoying but not a deal-breaker. touch ID has been very reliable and I got uded 
to the new home button without difficulty. I've been happy with the decision to 
upgrade.

HTH,

I'll be upgrading to a SE2020 soon, I hope. But, I had an iPhone 6S, and I was

I agree with what others have said about the SE 2020/SE second generation with 
the exception that unless you're currently using the 6S Plus, the form factor 
for the SE 2020 should be the same as that of the 6S. I'd also suggest you 
consider purchasing your new SE directly from Apple using the Apple Store app. 
You can purchase it with no interest payments over two years and if you have an 
Apple Card, you can receive 3% rewards on the total cost.

RE: The S E 2020?

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Thank you Don, I appreciate it.  I am the type to keep a phone for many years 
as my 6s was purchased in 2016.  The other feature I thought would be good is 
to charge the phone on a flat charger.  Best of all, it is available in 256 gig 
as I keep my grandbabies videos recordings in my photos.  Lots of audible books 
and other stuff.  I had to delete many things to gain memory with 128 gig which 
only had 8 gig left.  Again, I appreciate your comments.  Andy and Shubert

Absolutely!  The guts of the 2020 are essentially like the 11 but with the 2020 
you still have the home button.  For the price it's a great phone and I'm 
pretty happy with mine.  I think you'll also find that the new phone will do 
more.

FYI.

Judy Dixon has done an update to her previous book called Get The Picture for 
visually impaired people who wish to learn how to take quality pictures.

I have only read a portion of it, but she is using the iPhone 8 and 11 pro for 
her examples.

So it covers all the differences in the camera app etc.

$18.00

https://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/PHOTOS.html?from_search=1

I highly recommend the book.

Siri with Version 12.4.6

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hello All, I have experienced an odd problem here.  99% of the time I ask
SIRI to call someone even on my IPhone, it will connect me with no problems.
Last night, I asked SIRI to call my daughter and nothing.  I can receive
text, send them and even receive calls.  This happened only once before
about 3 weeks ago.  I tried calling within my contacts with no problem.  I
concluded that it has to do with SIRI.  Any ideas?  Thanks so much, Andy and

I just wanted to say, that I have gotten the one credit plan for libro.fm.  
They have really good email support.  Also, the app is very accessible and is 
so easy to use.  Once you purchase your book, you download the app to your 
phone and login with your user name and password you have created.  Then, on 
your computer when you go into your library, you will find an option to downlad 
a zip file of your book.  You can also download the book in your app and listen 
to it that way.  That is a very easy process.  The player has very easy labeled 
buttons.  Try it and I think you will like it.

Voice Dream Reader is a wonderful app which give a splendid reading experience. 
However, not everyone can get Voice Dream Reader or has the skill to use it. 
I'm very glad that Curtis is making a Daisy version which will allow many more 
people to access the guide easily. They can read it on a player they're 
comfortable with and try things out on their iOS devices at the same time.

RE: GPS Apps for hiking?

[Andrew J. LaPointe]

Hello, I have a question on GPS Apps.  Using Blind square, or any of the Apps, 
I noticed that sometimes the direction will say, 100 feet to your right or left 
or whatever it is.  Sometimes the left or right is correct but, is there a way 
to know for sure if it is left or right?  If you are solo, no one is around, it 
could be a problem to go in the wrong direction.I know that is obcious but, 
 just asking for a friend.  Thank you Andy and Shubert

Hi,

Firstly, please accept my apologies if this message is off topic for this list, 
but as it is about an Apple product I thought I might just get away with it.

I am running iTunes version 12.10.6.2 under Windows 10.

For some reason (and this has only happened fairly recently) I can no longer 
access the “for you” section of Apple Music.  When I try I get the message “an 
error has occurred”.  The only option I then have is a “try again” button.  
Pressing that achieves absolutely nothing.  Does anyone know what the problem 
might be please?  I can access every other aspect of the program, my library, 
the store, you name it, I can even browse for Apple Music tracks, I just can’t 
access the “for you” section and yet I can on my iOS devices.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Andrew

I think the bigger problem may be good quality for $50 

 

Virus concerns aside, used headphones are often very steeply discounted. Also, 
various retailers often sell out remainders at very low prices (like when I 
procured a couple of pair of those Andrea headsets for $20/ea).  But then I'm a 
bit of a headphone collector/hoarder. I've even got vintage 1970's 
electrostatic koss (require about 50watts/channel to drive) and similar vintage 
sennheiser  open air/foam headsets.

 

Now that the majority of users have moved on to bluetooth, the used wired 
marketplace is very depressed. Of course, with pandemic plan on some UV 
sterialization (perhaps a week or so in bright sunlight, at a minimum). Consult 
with your local medical professional!

Hi Joshua,
I actually bought a pair that sound similar in description:
Dual Driver 40 Hrs Bluetooth Headphones Over Ear, Picun EQ Bass Wireless 
Headphones w/ Mic, Hifi Stereo 4 Dynamic Driver Hybrid Headset, Soft Protein 

These don't fold though. I feel likeRadar on MASH when wearing them.
They cover your ears completely and then some.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll probably get them, so I'll have a nice 
collection

If you need to use it for calls, then no.  The microphone won't work if the 
headset is wired.  It is a fantastic sounding headset though.
I might actually purchase myself an extra headset just because it sounds so 
good.

RE: Recommendations of Wired headset for I Phone XR no earbuds please

Hi Joshua,
I heard the tutorial & know of the company that you are referring to. I'm not 
sure that phone calls are possible when the wire is on. Are you able to use 
headset for calls when the wire is on?

The headset covers the entire ears.  I even have an audio tutorial that talks 
about all the features of the headset.  The tutorial was done by another 
company that unfortunately I was very over charged for the headset.
