Re: VoiceOver learning app

2024-09-19 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

The app might be "VO Starter" and, as far as I know, is still in the AppStore. 
However, it was written before Apple eliminated home buttonds so doesn't cover 
the new home, AppSwitcher, etc gestures. 

I look forward to checking out the new tutorial in IOS 18.

It was called VoiceOver tutorial I think, which happens to be the name in the 
VoiceOver settings for the new one.

I am aware that the iPhone has a voiceover practice section, but they’re used 
to be an app that would allow you to learn voiceover, but I’m unable to find 
that app anymore. Does anybody know where I can find it or what it’s called?

Re: ElevenLabs' text-to-speech app Reader is now available globally | TechCrunch

Title: ElevenLabs' text-to-speech app Reader is now available globally | TechCrunch
Hello, I am trying to get the Reader app. I have downloaded and installed it. I tried to create an account by providing a userid and password. I was sent an email with a validation code which I entered.  The app then seemed to ask me to sign in. This is fairly common with new apps. I tried to sign in using my userid and password but... nothing happened. I did not receive any error messages, the signin screen simply sits there.  Can anyone help me with this signin procedure? I'm thinking I have missed something. I am using an iphone 13Pro, IOS 17.6.1, Voiceover, and a bluetooth keyboard. My wifi connection is solid.  Thanks, I am looking forward to trying out this reader. Dave ClementWinnipeg MbOn Aug 21, 2024, at 12:20 PM, leobado1...@gmail.com wrote:The app is free for now, but this will probably change in October.

Reader now supports languages including Portuguese, Spanish, French, Hindi, German, Japanese, Arabic, Korean, Italian, Tamil and Swedish.ElevenLabs, which became a unicorn earlier this year after raising $80 million from investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, provides an API that companies can use for various use cases like dubbing or text-to-speech. The company powers voice interactions on the Rabbit r1, as well as text-to-speech features on AI-powered search engine Perplexity and audio platforms Pocket FM and Kuku FM. The Reader app is its first consumer-facing product.The startup said it has added hundreds of new voices from its library that are suited for different languages. Last month, the company licensed the voices of actors such as Judy Garland, James Dean, Burt Reynolds and Sir Laurence Olivier for the app.ElevenLabs said the extended language support is powered by its Turbo v2.5 model, released last month, which purportedly reduces the latency of text-to-speech conversion and improves quality.The Reader app’s closest rival is Speechify, which offers additional features like scanning documents for text, integrations with Gmail and Canvas, as well as letting users clone their own voice to read out text. Mozilla-owned Pocket and The New York Times’ Audm-based audio app also let users listen to content.ElevenLabs said it would add more features to the app, such as offline support and the ability to share audio snippets

Screen recognition and editing rotor

2024-06-15 Thread Dave Lehnis
Sometimes I think I’m going crazy, but for some reason, I cannot find how to 
turn off screen recognition and I can’t find the rotor to edit it. Any 
suggestions will be much appreciated. I know screen recognition has addressed 
here before, but I am not remembering exactly what was said. Thanks for any 
assistance.

Re: Transferring Files to a New Phone

Hi Richard, I don't know about BARD books as I am in Canada, but I have found the same thing is true for Kindle books. I have had to redownload my Kindle books after upgrading to a new phone. The Kindle library info is preserved  but to read any book, you have to redownload it. I hope this can be improved in the future, or, if it has already been improved, please let me know. Dave ClementWinnipeg MBOn Jun 2, 2024, at 5:04 PM, Richard Turner  wrote:I do not believe BARD books get backed up.

 through user-level applications like File or File Browser. So, is it possible to move lots and lots of BARD books from one device to another without having to re-download them? If so, can a user do it, or must it be done by an iOS technician at a store?

Second, ask a couple of family members to give you a description of your

to your photo, so if you ever have to access that picture, a brief description

Hopefully you will never need this info, but one last detail that will be asked

I would agree with Sieghard, but I suspect what Mary and others are getting at 
is not what they choose to use or not but what others are using and how that 
might affect how they interpret the world based on those AI generated 
descriptions. As Mary says though, anytime you're getting a description from 
another source, even if it's a sighted person, it isn't going to be free of 
interpretation.

Reminds me of a friend of mine in college who was helping me pick out a greeting card. 
She told me she would just describe the card to me and wouldn't be subjective at all. 
Later on she described a card as "yucky yellow." We had a good laugh over that, 
but I didn't get that card.

For those who don't want any kind of interpretation of a description coming 
from an AI, I wonder what they would consider an acceptable description. I'd 
find it interesting if someone took a response from Be My AI and then 
sterilized it into what they would find acceptable. I'm guessing that the more 
sterile descriptions wouldn't be nearly as popular and most people find the 
interpretation of the image as one of the more interesting parts of the 
description.

Hello friends.

I appreciate that none of you know me personally and like me have no idea what 
I look like.

However, at my request a friend of mine took a picture of me recently when we 
were in what we call in the UK a pub.  I was very interested in the results I 
obtained when asking Be My AI to describe the photo.  It’s description was:

The man in the picture has a fair complexion and a sturdy build. His hair is 
short and appears to be a mix of gray and black, and he has a full head of 
hair. His eyes are partially closed, and he has a somewhat stern or serious 
expression on his face. His nose is prominent and he has full lips. He is 
clean-shaven.

He is wearing a dark-colored polo shirt with a collar. The shirt has a small embroidery 
on the right side of his chest that reads "Samuel Smith" in a cursive font with 
gold thread. The shirt appears to be of a comfortable fit.

The lighting in the picture is focused on him, making him the central element 
of the image. There is no additional information provided about the man, such 
as his name or what he is doing in the pub.


What interested me most is that this is the closest we can get to a sighted 
person looking in a mirror.

The other thing that struck me was the description of my expression.  I had 
never really thought about expressions but I suddenly thought are expressions 
learned or natural.  How far do our expressions mirror those of sighted people. 
 I didn’t feel serious at the time, and if Be My AI’s description of my 
expression was accurate then why would I look serious?

Do our expressions really express our mood as sighted people’s do?

Not really an Apple question admittedly but an interesting subject.

Apologies in advance for the off-topic post but I would be most interested in 
your opinions.

Hello Everyone,

Okay, my faith in the universe has been restored!

After some much needed sleep and a very pleasant and productive day, I decided 
to attempt to resolve the Hulu issue, yet again.

Bottom line:  I resolved the problem and have restored my Hulu / Disney Duo 
Premium subscription at a rate of $19.95 per month.

The solution?  Apparently, the Disney Plus servers and the Hulu account servers 
are not exactly in sync.  In short, this means that although the Disney Plus 
servers registered my new account, said account was only partially populated on 
the Hulu account servers which, as it turns out, are still being updated with 
that of Disney Plus.  As a result of this account population glitch, the Hulu 
servers, at least those accessed by the Apple TV app, were, effectively, 
returning two diametrically opposed results to my login attempts; (1) the 
account is valid and (2) the account is not valid.  As expected, this caused 
the app to freeze.

Solution?

(1):  from the Disney Plus website, force all device log-ins to be rejected.

(2):  Not just delete the Hulu apps from Apple TV but clear the app cache, 
first, before deleting the apps from Apple TV.

(3):  From the Disney Plus website, change account email address, preferably to 
an email with a different domain than that of the original email address.

I hope you found this helpful and if not, then at least entertaining (smile).

Hello Everyone,

I am posting this to the list because I want you to know that, if you encounter 
the same problem, you are not alone.

1.
I purchased a Disney Plus and Hulu Premium monthly subscription via the Disney 
Plus website.  I did this because this particular new pricing bundle is not 
available on the Hulu website.

2.
Signed into Disney Plus and Hulu websites, along with iOS app and iPad app 
without any problems.

3.
Signed into Disney Plus app on Apple TV on both TV OS 16 and TV OS 17 without 
any problems.

4.
Could not sign into Hulu app on Apple TV.  Trust me when I tell you that this 
is not a VoiceOver problem.
When attempting to sign into Hulu app via a Disney Plus Hulu bundle 
subscription, billed by Disney, with a new account that is not being upgraded 
from a basic Hulu subscription, the Hulu app simply freezes.
I spent more time on trying to resolve this issue than I ever care to admit.

5.
When a solution to this problem was not offered up by Hulu / Disney, I got so 
disgusted that I cancelled my subscription, today, and deleted my third-party 
Disney Plus account.

This is the first time in my Apple life that I have been so disgusted with an 
app experience that I cancelled and deleted within 24 hours of purchasing a 
subscription.

6.
There are several things I can do to get the Hulu app working on Apple TV but, 
to my mind, today, at least, I just can't be bothered as, for a premium 
experience, I would have to pay more money for a bundle feature that I will 
never use and pay for it, via the Hulu billing system.

No Doubt that Disney will be releasing a new Hulu / Disney app combo that will 
resolve this but, as for me, my first experience with Hulu via Apple TV was so 
very disappointing that I have lost the desire to even use Hulu.

Now I can subscribe to Hulu via iTunes but, again, not today.

Between these subscriptions, along with my Youtube TV and Prime Video
subscriptions, I should finally be able to gain consistent access to a great
number of ventage television series produced in the distant pass.

Ed has assured me, that of today, anyway, these apps are Voice Over
accessible on iOS, iPad OS, and on my beloved Apple TV.

After doing some serious number crunching, I have determined that the
combined annual premiums for all of these on-demand services, remains
considerately less than the annual cost of one traditional cable service
provider.  It's really quite amazing.

Hello Everyone,

With audio description enabled on my Apple TV, I sometimes find that the

That is because the Streaming track of the show uses one of the stereo

Also, I discovered that instead of playing a sound when I press and hold the

I have folders too. I’ve been using iPhones for years. But after a while, you 
get more apps. And besides, even if you know precisely what folder an app is 
in, you still have to open the folder find the app and open it. If Siri worked 
like it should, it would be much more efficient to just use it to open apps. 
But even this morning, when I say Open such and such app and give the precise 
name, it comes back and asks me which app do you want this one that one or 
another one, all in the same general app category. This after I’ve stated 
something specifically. Anyway, this just started with the so-called upgrade to 
17.1. Feels like a regression to me.  And there wasn’t that much to regress 
from. I still prefer iOS to android. But really Apple. Get it together on Siri.

to edit my home screen, group various apps by category into folders and so on. 
Even when using the contacts listing in e-mails,  text or phone calls, I add 
all regularly used addresses to the contacts list and the only time I ever use 
Siri to make calls/texts is if the addressee is not in my contacts list.  Siri 
never misses when I ask her call (998) 555-.
I almost never ask Siri to be involved at all in apps.

I was shocked that Apple’s keyboard won’t work with their own product.

Thanks Richard,

I just did a search for the class Voiceover In and Out, and found that they 
have Youtube classes from last year.  Hopefully they will do the same this year.

I have not had much experience with Zoom.  I tried to use the dial in feature 
rather than trying to log in on my laptop.  I couldn't seem to enter the 
meeting ID in quickly enough, and I kept getting cut off.  Then, when I tried 
using the link from the Zoom message on my laptop, I had a message that I 
needed to update Zoom.  By that time they were almost a half hour into the 
class, so I just quit there.   

I really need to learn more about using Zoom.

iOS 17 hasn't broke accessibility for me with the exception of the change with 
audio messages with the native messages app. If you don't use audio messages on 
a daily basis, nothing to worry about.

The difference with audio messages now is that you need to stop and send the 
recording rather than it automatically sending like in iOS 16.

Re: Issue With Spectrum Mobile App Accessibility

2023-09-20 Thread Dave Grossoehme
Good Morning:  You are having the same problems that I had a year ago 
with the Spectrum App.  Their Tech's have no accessibility training with 
these applications.  They only want to sell the settopbox.  I had a tech 
out at that time on a line problem and he didn't even know about Voice 
Over.  At that time I decided to try a Fire Stick before going to the 
Apple TV and the Spectrum App wasn't even in the App Store.  If you 
wished to use a Fire Stick you had to break Amazon's Security.  
Spectrum's App doesn't work at all on an Apple TV.  The only way to hear 
Audio Description was from their library, not from live streaming.  That 
forced me dto change to an Apple
TV and go to Direct Streaming.  You can find out a lot more information 
from the adp-list, which is an email list on the acblists.org web page.  
You can subscribe by sending a message to

HI Ron,

What model of iPhone do you have?

I noticed this problem a few weeks ago and called Spectrum Accessibility and 
they had no idea. WE had just gotten a new modem and they thought that there 
was a problem so sent someone out. They did fix a problem but this had nothing 
to do with the app. The supervisor in dispatch had an iPhone 14 and turned on 
Voiceover and I heard the usual tabs that I used to get such as guide. You no 
longer have the guide tab, however, I'm using an iPhone 8.

I did leave feedback in the form in the app settings about this but don't 
expect much. We ultimately got rid of the TV part of our plan anyway since the 
price was just getting ridiculous! So, I'm wondering if you have a newer phone 
if these problems aren't happening?

I did kind of find a workaround; I swiped with 3 fingers from page to page like 
I used to do in the guide and at least was able to find some more channels but 
this is not acceptable. The filters didn't seem to work for me even though I 
had them set for all channels and in numerical order.

What a mess!

Hi Group,

i got my first iPhone in March of 2019. I installed the Spectrum Mobile App for 
iPhone in June of 2019. The app worked perfectly and was totally accessible 
until yesterday. The app updated and now I have difficulty navigating the 
interface. The app opens with a group of new filters, but setting and 
navigating this screen is almost impossible. Gone are the simple 'all channels' 
and 'simple Favorites' navigation screen when a single swipe right or left 
moved you up and down the screen from channel to channel and a simple double 
tap launched the selected channel.

Has anyone else noticed this or am i missing something as far as adjustments or 
is this the new order of things with respect to the app? If so, and if people 
want to keep using the app, I suggest you give feedback through the developer 
website or the feed back link within the app settings.

Re: Saving stuff from someone else's phone

2023-08-31 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

Are both phones iPhones? If so, then I think you could use "share" and "air 
drop" to do this. The basic idea would be to select things, say a group of 
photos, then use the Share option and pick "air drop". 

You would need to set the air drop permissions so the two phones can talk to 
one another the way you want. 

I hope this gets you started. 

I am assuming here that the two iphones are not using the same Apple ID. If 
they are, then there may be an easier way to do this using iCloud.

suggestions on doing this? Verizon told my sister she’d need an Apple computer. 
My thought is maybe we could connect it to our windows desktop. No phones are 
backed up on that machine. What software might I need?

Years ago, I saved text messages after my Aunt passed away, but I don’t 
remember how I did it. Maybe via iMazing on the Mac.

Anyway, what are your thoughts.

Thank you,
Traci

Phone Link for Windows with JAWS

Phone Link is a service in Windows 11 that allows you to connect your 
smart phone over bluetooth so you can use your computer for 
taking/making calls as well as reading/sending text messages.  It is 
available for both Android and iOS.  A link to the Microsoft page 
concerning Phone Link is at the end.


The app is called Link to Windows.

I don't have it all figured out, but here is a start.

Phone Link for Windows seems to remember where you last were in the 
program.


So, if you exit the app while on Messages, focus will be on the New 
Message button when you start it again.


If you were on the Calls tab, it will start with your call history.

I left Phone Link on messages, so when I launched it, Jaws speech 
history shows:


SplashScreen loading

Phone Link

New message Button

If I shift tab from the New Message button, I hear:

Features

Secondary Features Settings. No unread items Tab 1 of 1 Alt followed by S

Shift+tab again and hear:

Features Messages. No unread items Tab 1 of 2 Alt followed by 1

Then right arrow once and hear:

Calls. No unread items Tab 2 of 2 Alt followed by 2

Now, If you hit spacebar when on Messages and tab you get:

Features Messages. No unread items Tab 1 of 2 Alt followed by 1 Tab 
again to:


Secondary Features Settings. No unread items Tab 1 of 1 Alt followed 
by S Tab again:


New message Button

Tab again:

Conversations List box Recent Conversation with Richard Turner. 
Message preview. Testing. 1 of 1


Tab:

Learn more about messages Button

Keep tabbing and you get info about your phone, etc.

When I am on my phone info in Phone Link and press the hotkey for 
calls, Alt+2 I hear:


Call History

Recent calls List box

Carol Davies, Incoming, ?12?-?Aug?-?23 at ?8?:?25? ?PM If I tab then, 
I hear:


Dialer Search your contacts Edit

You can then search your contacts.

If you keep tabbing without searching, you hear:

Keypad

1 Button

2 Button

3 Button

4 Button

5 Button

6 Button

7 Button

8 Button

9 Button

* Button

0 Button

# Button

If I am in the Search your Contacts and for example type Fred: I get this:

2 results. Suggestions: 2, fred

Fred Meyer Hawthorne. 5 0 3 8 7 2 3 3 0 0 . Work

If I hit enter on that number I hear:

Call Dialed number ( 5 0 3 ) 8 7 2 - 3 3 0 0 Button If I hit enter 
again, I call that number from my computer using my phone.


The focus with Jaws lands on the End Call button, or if your phone is 
handy you can do the standard two finger double tap to hang up.


If you are on the messages tab, New Message Button and hit spacebar or 
enter, you land in the to field.


If I use the above example and type Fred I get the same results, and 
if I hit enter, I am in an edit box to type my text message.


Note, As far as I can tell, you cannot enter hard returns/new lines in 
a text message, when you hit enter, it sends the message.

Re: Annoying Bug In Mail App

2023-08-11 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

I have observed this behaviour also. Most often, it happens when I have allowed 
VO to read out the first 5 lines of the first message via the "email preview" 
option (or whatever it is called).  I can't say for certain that it is not a VO 
problem, I haven't studied it closely. If I am interested in a given thread, 
which I decide by listening to the subject, then I'll open the thread and go to 
the "message" option anyway since I will want to look at all the emails in the 
thread. I use a bluetooth keyboard as well, which makes rotor operation very 
quick and easy, so for me, this is no great inconvenience. 
Good luck in finding a solution.

Subject: Annoying Bug In Mail App

Hi folks,
I’m running the native Mail app on my iPhone 12 Pro with IOS 16.6. Messages are 
threaded, which is the way I like it. However, when I open a message thread on 
the first message, the second message will open almost immediately even though 
I haven't even touched the screen so I have to use the rotor to find Messages, 
then swipe up to message 1. It doesn’t happen consistently but this happens 
more often than not. Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it? 
Is this. a Mail bug or a bug with VoiceOver?
Thanks

got the same response I did, so he is working on that.


That response was within about half a day.  I don't know exactly where

Thanks to Dennis Long for recommending this app.

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


  Weatherology Mobile, LLC., free

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

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

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

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

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

Best refgards,

with Alexa and there is an app for I Phone and I think, Android.

Re: Annoying Siri behavior

2023-07-17 Thread Dave Grossoehme
I receive this problem all the time.  It especially happens after 
hanging up with a call.  However, I figure it's part of the security 
from 16.5.1 and just press the button on the side of the phone to start 
with.  If I'm, ask to sign in, then I do so.

Hello Rick, Richard, et al,

Rick, I experience the exact same random Siri unlock prompt, from time-to-time, 
just as you described.  I probably encounter the prompt 3 or 4 times a week, at 
most when asking Siri to call a contact.

While I do find it curious, as I have witnessed non-Voice Over users encounter 
the same prompt on various Face ID enabled devices running the latest 
commercial release of OS 16, I, for the most part, just unlock the device and 
go on.

Just wanted you to know that you are not alone on this one.

Thanks Richard. What makes this so difficult to pinpoint is that sometimes it 
works just fine so it is hit or miss to reliably reproduce it but it happens 
often enough to be aggravating. I’ll check the siri settings again but I’m 
pretty sure it’s enabled while locked.

I just asked Siri to call NFB Newsline and it did with no fuss.

I'm not sure what setting would impact this behavior unless it is Allow Siri 
when locked.  If that is off, that would explain it I think.
If that is on, then try toggling it off and then on again.
Otherwise, I would be calling Apple 877-204-3930

Hello.

I love siri for what it can do but I find the following behavior to be 
extremely annoying and am wondering if there is a solution for it.

I have Face ID enabled but Siri insists on saying I have to unlock my phone 
first before executing simple commands like just asking her to call or message 
someone which seems to be totally unnecessary.

For a while there I tried simply disabling the pass code and Face ID but don’t 
like the idea of having my phone unprotected.

Has anyone come up with a way around this, or is this a known bug?
Very annoying.

Re: T-Mobile billing

Many companies charge you if you use a credit card, which is in addition 
of the bill.  In which case, they don['t wish to mess around with paying 
the extra charges to each credit card and then in turn charging the 
customer, they are asking for a debit card or checking account.  Of 
course, you can use the e bill of your checking account.

any other device at the time of these events.  I have many devices

this happen with their Siri as well when in the middle of a large 
programming job, and it doesn't slow down his coding computer.  Before 
IOS 16.0 it may happen at a certain time of day.  After IOS 16 it can 
come at anytime of the day without any warning at all.  Reboot of the 
device doesn't change anything either.  We just have to go about our

Re: Siri’s selective hearing problem still prevails at the end of the iOS 16 cycle

I been asking for the weather from Siri and speak slow enough for her to 
understand my question.  However, I get a different location or I've 
found this on the web.  Or I'm working on that and then a few seconds 
later she say's I didn't hear back.  This is on my home pod as well as

There is a definite difference in how quickly Siri listens in iOS 16, whether this because of the new tone or because 
of something different I don't know, but sometimes I ask Siri to "Call John Smith" for lack of a better name 
and I get "What would you like to know about John Smith". It says this because I spoke too quickly and Siri 
didn't hear the "Call" part and instead only heard "John Smith".
But I do agree that in many ways Siri can be extremely dense and stupid considering Apple 
came out with Siri 12 years ago. Sometimes for some reason it won't even do a simple 
conversion and instead I get the answer"I found the following on the web

not be true, because its overall performance has maintained its low level, 
whereas on iOS 15, the very same Siri with the very same commands yields 
reasonable results almost all of the time. So, whatever Apple did in iOS 16 has 
not been fixed as far as I’m concerned. I can only hope they do better in iOS 
17.

Hi Group,

I have been using the iPhone for over 4 years now and I use Siri only in a 
limited context.  While I can use the text keyboard, I am still quite slow at 
it and so I choose to use Siri for Text messages. It works quite well if you 
speak slowly--using some punctuation  and have limited background noise.

As far as phone calls, I have all important contacts: doctors, pharmacies, 
family members, friends in contact from which I use the standard navigation 
techniques to access and dial them. If I have to call someone or some business 
that is not in my contacts and I know the number, then I use Siri.

As far as opening apps, I group the ones I use the most into folder--using the 
edit method of drag and drop and placing these folders on page one of the home 
scre3en.  Again, I use standard navigation techniques to navigate quickly to 
the folders and double tap on the program name to access and initiate their 
functions.

...So am I unusual in operating this way?

Perfect example. And I bet if I tried that on my old phone which I can’t 
because it no longer has a Sim, it would probably work perfectly. I’m not 
buying this business about the new tone and the delay being the cause. I 
interact with Siri the same way all the time. So if it’s the problem with the 
tone or the speaking delay not being long enough, I should have the problem 
consistently. But there are certain things that it never ever gets wrong. And 
the App Store is the most glaringly obvious one. It never misses opening the 
App Store.

As Sarah said, you can assign a code to somebody you want to give access

like

a plumber or electrician has to get into your house. You can set up a
specific code for them and even set it up to only work on a specific day
between 8 AM and 5 PM. Same would work for somebody like a dog walker.
You
can also unlock and lock the door remotely so instead of giving somebody
a
code you might have a repair person coming, but you are at work. Just
tell
them to call you when they are at the door, then you can unlock for them.

I

use this all the time, we have a local person who does heavy, German
style
bread baked in a woodfired oven and she usually drops off for us, if she
is

at the door she can call or ring our Ring video doorbell, I answer the
call

or notification from the video doorbell and once I know it's her I unlock
the door, she puts the bread in the entry way and once she is out and the
door is closed I lock it again. It's super handy and I would never go
back
to a regular lock with key or even one with a keypad, but one which is

Hi, Infrequently, this happens to me. In my case, I am not an Apple Music subscriber. The music that is getting played by the "magic tap" is part of a free U2 album that was included in an earlier version of IOS. The IOS upgrade added the music whether or not you wanted it. Thus, it is music that IOS knows about. This erroneous magic tap action is now infrequent but when it does happen, I simply do another magic tap to stop it and carry on doing what I was trying to do.  You might be able to ask SIRI what song is playing when this happens.

 from. The first song that plays was some sort of pop or hip hop song I’ve never heard of.  The newest one is a blast from my 1980’s childhood, but still not one in my library or that I’ve ever pulled up on this phone.  Anyone  else having this?  I just confirmed
 that I haven’t accidentally subscribed to Apple Music, . On IOS 16.3 on an iPhone SE 2020.

Re: Unpacking AirTags

Re: are there any replacements for these apps please?

2023-01-17 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, I'm not aware of any apps to do what you want but I use Shokz (formerly Aftershokz) bone induction headphones for the very same thing. They leave your ears open so you can hear your surroundings as normal while you hear the audio from your phone through the bone induction headphones. They work very well, especially when outdoors. Dave ClementWinnipeg MB CanadaOn Jan 17, 2023, at 7:59 AM, goshawk on horseback  wrote:






hello all, 
does anyone know of any working replacements for

for those who haven't heard of these, they were 
very handy apps, that would let you use your iPhone's mic to hear things around 
you, when using headphones. they were handy for things like listening to an 
audiobook, or playing your iPhone games whilst on a train journey, and 
you would still be able to hear things like the station announcements, or when 
the trolley comes round so that you could grab a beer for example. 
like so many good apps, they are both now defunked, 
so am wondering if there are any replacement apps, as I have a few long train

Re: Any tricks for dealing with attachmnts?

2022-11-19 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

I use an iphone, Voiceover, and the regular IOS email app for this. I use the 
regular "forward" function to do this. Once I hit forward, I am asked if I want 
to include the attachments. I choose include". Then, I edit the body of the new 
email and delete the original text, including the forwarding info, typing in 
whatever I want to send with the email. Then, I edit the subject line to what I 
want and send the email.  The recipient gets my email with all the original 
attachments. 

I think this would do what you want. Good luck.

Re: Deleting Apps on the se2020

2022-07-17 Thread Dave Clement
Hello,

I am late to this discussion so I may be repeating things others have said 
earlier. I assume you are running the latest version of IOS, IOS 15.5, and you 
are a Voiceover user. Here is how I delete apps. 

1. Flick to the app you wish to delete.
2. Flick up till you reach the "edit" option and double tap it. 
3. Flick down till you reach the "delete" option and double tap it.

At this point you should get a screen that offers the "remove" option, an 
explanation of the remove function, the "delete" option, and an explanation of 
the delete function. 

4. Double tap the "delete" option.

Placing yourself in "edit" mode, step #2,  is key to this operation. 

I hope this helps. If it still doesn't work then I suggest you power down your 
phone then turn it back on. Sometimes, this can clear up odd errors.

Re: question how to stop my i pad and i phone saying the word soashel after some folders and before you flip to diffrentpages on the screen.

2022-07-17 Thread Dave Clement
Hello, 

This sounds suspiciously like an old problem that arose in IOS 14. I don't 
recall the exact details but it involved the repeated word getting assigned to 
the "page identifier" on the home screen. This is the item that says "1 of 5" 
or however many home pages you have. 

The fix, as best I recall it, is to focus on the page identifier then edit its 
label with the 2-finger double tap and hold gesture. The repeating word should 
show up as the label. Replace it with a space and save it. 

I hope this gives enough information to let you fix the problem or let someone 
else who can recall all the detail stepsremember them. Good luck.

Re: screen recognition

Hi, 

The gesture to bring up "quick settings" is:

2-finger quadruple tap

You can pick the settings you want in your quick settings in the Voiceover 
settings under "quick settings", much the same as you choose what is added to 
your rotor.

Re: trouble accessing screen on iPhone se 2020 using voice over

2022-07-07 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

This sounds suspiciously like you may have "screen recognition" turned on for 
an app that is already fully accessible. Check this seting in:
Settings/Accessibility/Voiceover/Voiceover Recognition/Screen Recognition.

If it is on, try turning it off then going back to the app you were using. 

Good luck,

Re: IPHONE SE 2022 AND CONVERTING AN EMAIL INTO A TEXT

2022-05-27 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

Here's the way I do it on my iphone. There are likely other and better ways to 
do it as well.

1.Open the email in the Apple Mail app.
2.Turn the rotor to "text select".
3.Flick down to the "select all" option then flick right.
4.Turn the rotor back to edit and choose "copy"
5.Open the Messages app and prepare to send a new message to the person you 
want.
6.Again use the rotor to go to edit then choose the paste option.
7.Send the message. 

Hope this helps.

Then double tap your mail account name and make sure that Alerts is turned on. 

Having Alerts turned off here is the usual problem re getting incoming mail

Subject: Re: Looking for accessible language learning Apps

Hello, 

I am currently using the Duo Lingo app to study some French. I find it totally 
accessible so far. The app does have a subscription version that will remove 
ads and some other usage limits but I am not certain of the cost as I am just 
working with the free part of the app. The app does have some "listen and 
speak" capabilities along with introducing reading, writing, and grammar. It is 
fun and effective. 

I have also used the Pimsleur language learning app. This app teaches 
conversational languages and does not get into reading and writing and grammar 
very much. It is an audio based system, listen and repeat. It is a subscription 
app asking $18.xx per month for a 3-language option or $25 per month cost for 
full access to all 51 languages they support. I have found the app fully 
accessible so far and I have used the Pimsleur courses in the past to pick up a 
basic intro to languages for foreign countries that I have visited. For me, 
this system has been very successful. 

Good luck learning a language and have fun with it.

Re: How to delete large chunks of text?

2022-01-19 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

You can do this using the Voiceover "text select" feature. Try this when you 
are in your edit field:

1.Position the edit cursor at the beginning of the text you want to delete.

2.Turn the rotor to "text select". 
Note that you must first add Text Select to your rotor in
Settings/Accessibility/Voiceover/Rotor

3.Flick down to choose the amount of text you want to select, character, word, 
line, etc. For your purpose, choose "word".

4.Now flick right to select that amount of text. In your case, a word.

5.Continue to flick right to select all the words you want to delete.
Note that you need to select (highlight) text to do a bulk delete.

6.If needed, flick left to unselect a word.

7.Once all the desired text is selected, move the rotor away from the text 
select option.

9.Tap the delete key on the on-screen keyboard.

10.If you made a mistake, you can always use the "undo" option in the "edit" 
rotor option to bring back the text you just deleted. 

This sounds complicated but it actually goes quite easily once you are used to 
the process. 

I hope this helps.

Hi,
 
I have a question relating to this subject. When you want to delete just a few 
words in a text message, can it be done any other way other then to just delete 
character by character. When I look at the edit menu while I am in a text, all 
I see is “select” and “select all.” I tried double tapping on “select” thinking 
it might bring up a menu for selecting words or lines, but no go. So am I 
missing anything if I just want to delete a few words.
 
Thanks for the help!
 
Take care and stay safe!

Hi,
 
This wouldn't work for deleting, but for opening context menus and such, you 
can also do a triple-tap.

Sieghard,
I will also try the double tap and hold.  I definitely miss 3 d touch.  I used 
it for a lot.  Even the app switcher could be activated by a harder press on 
the left edge of the phone.  Granted, you now only have to swipe up to the 
second haptic so that is good now too.

Sometimes you have to delete the first few letters one by one, but usually once 
 you do then doing a double tap and hold on the delete button will work.
This, by the way, has nothing to do with 3D Touch, that was when you pressed 
harder on a button to generate different responses and it's been replaced by 
double tap and hold for the most part.
Another approach is to turn the rotor to Text Selection, then swipe down and 
make sure it's set to words and then, if you are at the end of a block of text, 
swipe right to left to select the text you want to delete word by word, when 
you are done tap delete. If you want to delete all that is there use Select All 
and then delete.

Hi all,
I really miss 3 d touch.  It used to be that if you had a bunch of text like in 
a text message that you wanted to delete, you could just go to the end of it 
and press on the delete button and it would rapidly delete all of it.  Now it 
seems that you have to press delete on every letter.  This is a real pain and 
I'm hoping someone will tell me a wonderful work around for this.  Thanks much 
in advance.

HI Jannet,
 
Have you tried a three finger double tap on the screen to see if the speech has

Or do a restart of your phone,
Probably the easiest way to do that is
Vol up, vol down and then power button and hold it for about 10 seconds,
It should hopefully do a restart for you.

Re: Take Learning To the Next Level! Announcing 2022 Digital Cafes

2022-01-15 Thread Dave Clement
Hello, 

The organization is called "The Tech Juggernaut" and you can learn all about 
them from their web site at
Ttjtech.net

I have taken courses with them and can attest they are excellent instructors. 
All instructors are either low vision or totally blind and so, they know 
whereof they teach.  Their courses focus on using Voiceover with IOS 15 and 
iPad/OS 15. They also cover the Mac, the Apple watch, and the Plle TV. Along 
with free classes and Cafes, they offer several for-pay services and offerings. 
 

Yes, there will certainly be a time zone difference for any live Zoom based 
sessions as you are in the U.K. However, almost all of their classes are 
recorded and uploaded to Youtube so you can always review classes at yur own 
time once the classes are uploaded. At least one of their courses, "More With 
the Mac" is actually presented as Youtube video classes with a separate live 
interaction session via Zoom regularly scheduled. 

If you are looking for solid training in IOS and Voiceover for Apple products, 
you will get it here.

Many of you are current or past students in our free virtual courses, such as 
Voiceover In and Out, More With the Mac, and iPad For All Computing. But, what 
about those areas we simply didn’t have time to cover? What about targeted 
areas where you want to learn more?
 
Introducing TTJ Digital Cafes!
 
With TTJ Digital Cafes, you can learn at your own pace, from any device, no 
matter where you are. Each cafe includes between one and five prerecorded 
sessions, to be posted to YouTube, and at least one interactive session for 
questions and answers. Cafes will be taught by the TTJ Team, and will cover a 
variety of topics.
 
How to Register:
 
Before attempting to register, please read the below cafe line-up so you will 
know which cafes are being offered. Note that some cafes are free, while some 
are available for a modest fee.
 
To register, send an email to:
supp...@ttjtech.net
Indicating which cafes you wish to register for.
 
For best, and quickest, results, please send a separate email for each cafe you 
are interested in, rather than listing in one email the cafes you wish to take. 
Also, please always include an email address and phone number in the body of 
the email message. Email messages containing no email address and phone number, 
or invalid contact info, will be immediately disregarded, and you will not be 
registered. We thank you for your understanding.
 
If you register for paid cafes, TTJ will contact you to obtain payment after 
receiving your registration request via email. There are four easy ways to pay. 
You may use a credit card, Apple Pay Cash, Zell, or PayPal. Note that TTJ 
Premiere Protection Customers receive significant discounts on all paid digital 
cafes.
 
Available Cafes:
 
Note that the following TTJ Digital Cafes will be released on a staggered 
schedule throughout 2022. Paying for a cafe guarantees your registration, but 
it does not guarantee instant access, as some cafes may not yet be available at 
the time of registration. Release dates, and dates for interactive sessions, 
will be announced on the TTJ Newsletter email and on the TTJ Training Calendar.
 
TV For the 21st Century (Coming early 2022):
Price: $12.99 (Free for Premiere Protection Customers)
 
With Apple TV, iPad, and iPhone, it is possible to enjoy TV like never before. 
Watch all your favorite live cable channels, sports, news, kids programming, 
and much more. Enjoy thousands of movies and TV shows On-Demand or for rent or 
purchase, through a variety of services. Enjoy streaming on popular services 
like HBO Max, Disney Plus, Peacock, Discovery Plus, ESPN Plus, Hulu, Netflix, 
Amazon Prime, and more.
Watch your collection of home movies, enjoy your photos, music, podcasts, and 
other content. Work out like never before with Apple Fitness Plus, an Apple TV, 
and an Apple Watch. Control your smart home, use Siri to find whatever you 
want, and so much more.
 
Take the experience even farther with numerous third-party apps and games, 
AirPlay Mirroring, and HomePod Mini.
 
Best of all, enjoy the awesome and seamless integration that all Apple devices 
offer with iCloud and other features, and even do it all with Voiceover if

There are several different volume settings in an iphone. Not all are 
controlled by the volume setting in Voiceover. So, you may simply have a low 
volume for phone calls. 
 
The way to adjust this is to start a call with someone, have them stay on the

phone call. Phone call volume is one of the several different volumes in the

Re: Did anyone experience an abundance of spoken punctuation after upgrading to iOS 15?

2021-12-08 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

I ran into this problem when I updated to IOS 15 on my iphone 8. It turned out 
to be a problem with the "activity" option in Voiceover. I had an old activity 
which got activated that had verbosity settings that caused all punctuation to 
be spoken. I deleted that activity and my normal Voiceover settings took over 
again. 

Note that in IOS 15, many more Voiceover options can be set in an "activity".

Re: iCloud space

2021-11-30 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

Go to:

Settings / your-name / icloud / manage storage / change storage plan

Then choose the plan that suits your iCloud storage needs. This becomes a 
monthly subscription charge to your Apple account. 

Note - if you do not already have an iCloud storage plan, you may not get the 
"change storage plan" option but you will get something comparable. I do 
currently have a storage plan so I don't know the exact way it is presented to 
brand new subscribers. 

Hope this helps,

First, plug it in and then turn it off immediately.  Once you plug a phone in 
that is powered off, it powers up…  Annoying yes.
You can go into the settings at the top of settings and double tap on your name.
Then, swipe over to iCloud and double tap.
Now, swipe over to iCloud backup and toggle it off.
If it asks what you want to do with the backed up info, if it offers a chance 
to just leave it on the phone, do that.
I’m not sure exactly how to get stuff off your iCloud that has backed up 
already.
Someone here does I’m sure, or apple accessibility.

Re: My keyboard is gone

2021-11-24 Thread Dave Clement

I have heard that the "sheet grabber" icon near the top of the screen on some 
apps can actually cause the on-screen keyboard to be hidden. I think it acts as 
a toggle. Perhaps this has been double tapped by accident and the on-screen 
keyboard is no longer visible. Try double tapping it again and see if the 
keyboard returns. It's a long shot but who knows?

It seems to sometimes get stuck thinking a keyboard is in quicknav mode.

Hi, 

You will want to subscribe to one of the iCloud storage plans. You can check 
out the options and sign up for one of them at:

Settings / your-name / iCloud / Manage storage / change storage plan

Any paid storage plan will give you "iCloud Plus" which has a few extra

Re: AfterShokz headset question

2021-11-05 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

I have to agree with the others here. I have had very good results with the 
Open Comm and those I called all said they could hear me fine. To confirm this, 
I called two people using both the Open Comm and my Trex Titanium and they both 
said it was much clearer with the Open Comm. 

At first, it did take me a bit to realize that the boom actually turns from 
back to front. When I first got them, the boom arm was turned back to lay along 
the side of the Open Comm. I had to rotate the boom arm to come around to the 
front and then all went well. I'm wondering if perhaps you tried them with the 
boom arm still turned back on itself. This would have put the microphone back 
behind your ear and would have produced a poor signal. Just a thought.  
Otherwise, perhaps you ended up with a defective set.

Hi, 

I find the Open Comm head band to be very comfortable, more so than the band on 
my Trex Titanium. Just how flexible it is I can't say for sure as I did not 
need to try to alter it. 

I think the microphone does deliver a better result than other models. It is at 
the end of a pivoting boom arm and thus is closer to your mouth. The boom arm 
also contains a secondd microphone which is used to do some noise cancellation 
functions. This really helps deliver a clear vocal input signal when you are in 
a loud or noisy environment.

volume. I haven’t yet tried going on a zoom meeting not wearing my watch to see 
if that matters. But there’s always this “NowPlaying“ thing showing up in my 
dock on the watch when I do this. I don’t want it. I don’t ever want to play 
anything like that on the watch, so I’m wondering if I can somehow get rid of 
now playing so it just never happens. Has anyone else had this disappearing 
VoiceOver speech problem lately? It’s very consistent and it’s always with zoom.

Re: Logitech K480 Question

2021-10-18 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

I use Fn+F3 on my K480 to do this. I also have the IOS keyboard chosen using 
the small buttons on the upper right front area of the keyboard. There are two 
buttons, one for an IOS keyboard and one for a PC keyboard. 

I hope this helps.

Re: Displaying Soft-Keyboard With Logitech480?

2021-09-23 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

If by "soft keyboard" you mean the "IOS on-screen keyboard" then yes. On the 
Logitech K480 keyboard, F3 will bring up or hide the on-screen keyboard. 

Note that you need to press the IOS button on the keyboard for this to work. 
There are two small buttons near the upper right corner of the K480 just below 
the slot that can support a tablet or iPad, one for IOS keyboard mode and one 
for PC keyboard mode. At the moment I forget which is which. They are side by 
side and much smaller than the regular keys on the keyboard. 

Hope this helps.

Re: APPS already on my phone redownloading

2021-09-10 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

This sounds like your "offload unused apps" option is turned on. When it is on, 
IOS will offload an app if it is not used within a certain time frame. Its data 
is retained but you will need to download the app again before using it When an 
app is offloaded, the "in iCloud" wording is usually immediately after the app 
name. This feature is meant to help those whose phones are almost out of 
available memory. 

The setting is under:
Settings/Appstore/Offset unused apps. 

Hope this helps.

Over the past week or so, I've noticed that some of my APPS are listed as being

Re: Guide on working with spreadsheets on iOS?

2021-08-25 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

There is a free Apple book for using Numbers. You can get it using the Books 
app. It is called "Numbers User Guide for the iPhone by Apple". 

I suspect this book is written for sighted users but there may be enough useful 
info in it to get started with Numbers. There is also a version for the iPad.

I can't comment on Excel on the iphone as I have never tried it. I hope this 
helps.

Re: How to Stop Music That is Playing

2021-08-25 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

This usually happens when you use a "magic tap", which is a 2-finger double 
tap. I am guessing that when you tried the 3-finger double tap, it registered 
as a 2-finger double tap. When music starts to play, simply do another 2-finger 
double tap and it should stop.

Re: Adding items to rotor

2021-07-09 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

Assuming you are asking for an iPhone or iPad...

Go to:
Settings/accessibility/voiceover/rotor

Here you will get alist of all of the rotor options you can add. Double tap on 
any you wish to add to your rotor. You should hear "selected" when you double 
tap an option. 
To remove a selectedoption, just double tap it again.
You can also reorder the options on the rotor to your best advantage. 

IOS will also add some context-sensitive options to the rotor depending on what 
you are doing at any particular time. For example, the "edit" rotor item will 
appear on the rotor any time you are editing information but it will not be 
there if you are not in edit mode. 

Also, apps can add their own items to the rotor depending on how they have been 
programmed. For example, the Pages app will add a number of items to the rotor 
relating to formatting options. 

Hope this helps,

Dave Clement

Re: Free Calendar App?

2021-07-05 Thread Dave Clement
Hello, 

The app is called "vo calendar". It is a simple calendar app designed to work 
with Voiceover gestures. It displays the current week's events in a simple list 
format. At the bottomof the screen are four buttons:  "settings", "Other 
month", "previous week", and "next week". 

Double tap on the day of the week to get a simple list of events for that day. 
At the end of the list of events is a "enter new event" button, a "back" 
button, and a "record memo" button.

Adding a new event will walk you through entering the partofthe day, the hour, 
the minutes, and a text description for the event. 

Double tapping an event willallow you to alter the test description, the part 
of the day, the time,move the event to another day,or delete the event. 

The app does not support repeating events, alarms,alerts,or reminders. It is a 
simple calendar app but it is very easy to use and integrates with your IOS 
calendar. Itcan be used along with the IOS calendar app or other calendar apps 
like FantastiCal.

I hope this helps.

Re: A very strange problem

2021-06-27 Thread Dave Clement
Hi Kay, 

You are welcome. I am glad the fix worked. It drove me a bit nuts when I had 
the problem. It was someone at the Apple Accessibility Help Line who helped me 
find it and I'm glad to pass it along.

Hi Kay, 

No, that was just one more weird thing about the problem. I only had to check 
the labelling on the page number element. Once I cleared that, the words 
stopped coming out in all the other places it was happening. I never figured 
out why it was occuring in other places besides the page number but one fix 
fixed them all. 

Good luck.

Hello, 

This may not help but your problem sounds suspiciously like one
 I had after first upgrading to IOS 14 on my iphone 8. I was hearing two 
extraneous words, sometimes at the top of a page, sometimes between icons on 
the home screen, and always on the page number element. I say "hear" as I am a 
Voiceover-only user. 

My problem did turn out to be a labelling problem but a very unusual one. 
Somehow, and I have no idea how, a user-defined label ended up assigned to the 
page number element. This was not something I had done but nevertheless, the 
weird words I was hearing were assigned to the page number. 

To fix this I did the following...

1. Swiped down to highlight the page number element on the home screen.
2. Used the two-finger double tap and hold gesture to bring up the element 
label function. I held until I heard three beeps and then let go. This gave me 
the screen with a text field that I could edit. Sure enough, the weird words I 
was hearing were in the text field. 
3. I deleted the text in the text field, than entered one space, and then saved 
the label. 

As I say, I have no idea how those words got there but this fixed my problem. 
If somehow, the text messsage your husband is hearing ended up in this label 
field somehow, then this might account for what and where he is hearing what 
appears to be a text message but is actually a field label. 

To me, it makes sense that this condition could transfer from his iphone to his 
ipad since user-defined field labels are carried across through iCloud for 
devices using the same Apple ID. 

I hope this helps.

Larry & Richard, 

Apologies for giving the wrong response earlier to this question. I checked the 
wrong resource when looking it up. The Apple Store app did not give me the same 
details as the link you provided for the tech specs. Thanks for pointing this 
out. 

One question - since it has the 3.5mm jack, then does it not support the 
lightning connector / earbud setup that the iphone 7 supports?

Re: Blog post about Audible/Amazon limiting access to audio books, worth reading and considering

2021-05-25 Thread &#x27;Dave Sheridan' via VIPhone
Hi Richard 

Thank you for sharing this And concerns, along with those of the author of the 
piece, about the concerns of access for all. Unlike others who have replied to 
you, I am in full agreement with what you have said. If we leave it to 
individuals like those who have offered to convert it from audible then we will 
still have a huge audience of people who would still be denied the coness 
spoken about. Where will such practice end?

Re: Switching between emails organised by theme

2021-05-25 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

If you are asking about how to move among emails in a thread using the IOS Mail 
app, then:

Note - for a bluetooth keyboard, use the normal short cuts for the gestures 
described below. 

1. Double tap the thread header message in the in-box. This will present all of 
the emails as if they were one long message. Normally, you are positioned on 
the text of the first message but occasionally, you are positioned in the email 
header info of the first message. 

2. Turn your rotor to the "messages" option.  This is an automatic rotor 
setting that IOS will add to your rotor when you open a thread. 

3. 1-finger flick up or down to move among the email messages in the thread. 
Voiceover will read the start of the message based on yur "preview" value for 
mail.

4. If you need to read more of the email message then 1-finger flick right or 
left. Once you do this, the rotor is automatically moved to the "actions" 
setting for that email so, you will have to again turn it to the "messages" 
setting to move to the next or previous email in the thread. 

An alternative way to work with the messages in a thread is to "expand" the 
message thread header. 1-finger flick up on the header email and double tap the 
"expand" option. This will then present each message in the thread as a 
separate email in the in-box. You can then navigate them as normal. 

I hope this helps.

Re: iPhone directions.

2021-05-09 Thread Dave Clement
In similar situations, SIRI has not done what I thought it should re opening 
apps. It turned out to be that the apps I was trying to use were offloaded from 
my phone. I have the setting turned on that allows IOS to offload an app if it 
has not been used in a while. SIRI cannot trigger the download of an app in 
this situation and generates a "something is wrong" or "I can't do that" type 
message. . Perhaps this might be the situation here?

Re: configuring an iphone for a new user

2021-05-07 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

Here are a few settings I adjust when doing initial IOS training. Once the 
student has an initial knowledge, I alter some of these. I am referring to IOS 
14.x here. 

1. Turn on "Do Not DisturB".  This will prevent notifications from disturbing 
the class. If your phone also had cell service, it would prevent phone calls 
from disturbing you as well. 

Settings / Do Not Disturb

2. Turn off "Autolock" by setting it to "never". This prevents the student's 
phone from locking every few minutes while in the class.

Settings / Display & Brightness / Autolock

Note - you may want to reset these two items after the class if the student 
will be taking the phone away with them. 

3. If the student is a Voiceover-only user, turn on the "screen curtain" to 
save some battery usage. 

3-finger tripple tap

4. If Voiceover is being used, make sure "hints" are turned on. 

Settings / Accessibility / Voiceover / Verbosity / Speak hints

5. If Voiceover is being used, set the Voiceover volume so both the instructor 
and the student can hear it. If in an area where you need to be quiet, consider 
using a splitter so two sets of earpods or headphones can be used at the same 
time. 

Volume buttons or add "volume" to the rotor

6. Set SIRI options to display its responses and your spoken inputs. This will 
help the student while learning to use SIRI. 

Settings / SIRI & Search / SIRI Responses 

7. If cell service is available, set the phone option to use "full screen" for 
calls. This avoids the difficulties for beginners in dealing with the one-line 
display mode on calls. 

Settings / Phone / Incoming calls

8. Initially, set typing style to "standard" when working with the on-screen 
keyboard. Once the student is comfortable with the on-screen keyboard you can 
introduce the other typing styles. 

Settings / Accessibility / Voiceover / typing / typing style

There are likely other settings one could adjust. Much depends on the model of 
phone, the IOS version, the usage the student will make of the phone, and their 
current level of knowledge / skill with it.

Re: Upgrading Iphone 7

2021-05-07 Thread Dave Clement
Hi Doug, 

An iPhone 7 can run IOS 14.x so if you attempt to upgrade it, IOS 14.5.1 would 
get installed. IOS only upgrades to the latest version. If support for your 
Instapot was broken in IOS 14 and you want/need to use the Instapot app, then 
don't upgrade. 

I have read about the problem with Instapot dropping support for the bluetooth 
version of the Instapot. Is this what you are running into or is there a 
separate problem with the app for Instapot? I have heard that the WIFI model 
Instapot is working OK but that does not help all those who bought the 
bluetooth model and the WIFI model is more expensive. 

One last thought - I'm sure you've done this but make sure you have "automatic 
updates" turned off on your iPhone 7 to prevent the upgrade to IOS 14.5.1.

I attempt to upgrade my Iphone 7?  Will it simply reject the most recent update

Re: Keypad After Receiving A Call

2021-04-23 Thread Dave Clement
Hello, 

I suspect you are running into the IOS 14 change in which the Phone app default 
was set to display just one line on the top or bottom of the screen. This was 
probably a productivity type change intended to allow a sighted user to 
continue to see whatever app they were using when the call comes in. They can 
deal with the call by tapping that one line notification for the call. 

We can do this with Voiceover also but it is somewhat awkward. A more useful 
alternative is to alter the default setting for the Phone app. 

If this is your situation, you can reset the Phone app to its former behaviour 
where it will use a full screen for the call information. This should give you 
back your number pad when the call comes in. You can do this in:

Settings / phone / Incoming calls

Double tap this button and choose the full screen option. 

I hope this helps.

Hi all,
 
In the past, my phone would display the telephone keypad whenever I received a 
call.  Lately, however, the keypad is no longer displayed when I receive calls. 
 I really don’t know when this began happening.  It’s a real problem whenever I 
get a call that requires a numeric response such as confirming a doctor’s 
appointment etc.  I’ve looked all through settings but I can’t find anything 
that would let me display the keypad during a call.  Does anyone know how or if 
I can return things back to the way they were?  If not, how are others handling 
this situation?  As always, any help is greatly appreciated.  Stay well.
 
Take care,
Ed Przybylek

Re: guitar tuner apps

2021-04-19 Thread Dave Clement
With Talking Tuner, you do not need to select a note. You simply pluck a string 
and the app will identify what the note is and whether it is flat or sharp. No 
pre-selection of notes involved.

Re: Setting up a new iPhone SE 2020 step by step

2021-04-18 Thread Dave Clement
Hi, 

This should do it...

1. Touch the status bar at the top of the screen

2. 3-finger swipe up to bring up the Control Centre.

3. 3-finger swipe down to bring up the Notification Centre. 

Hope this helps.

Hi, 

The line that says
"Background app refresh off" 
Is also a button. Double tap it and you will find the spot to turn it backon.
