Re: Email problem Mac and iPhone

['David Andrews' via VIPhone]

There is probably nothing to be done, as this is controlled primarily 
by your mail program.


On NFBNET.org I have to use certain settings, so large providers, 
like Yahoo will accept our mail, and they are not ideally compatible 
with some mail programs. The solution would be even worse though.

Re: Major problem after updating to 16

Hello everyone,

I updated my iPhone 12 Mini yesterday, to IOS 
16. It all went very smoothly for me, which I am 
very thankful for. I haven't really ran into any problems.

Such as, the different bugs I have read about.

However, I just discovered a huge problem, and I 
don't know if there is anything I can do about it.


My banking App is now not as accessible. I can 
see my accounts, and what money is available.


However, when I go into an account to view the 
transactions, I get a lot of different images, 
and words such as coupon, and other words. None of it makes

much sense, in all honesty.

 I tried turning on screen recognition to see 
if this would make much of a difference. I could 
then see some of the transactions. But this didn't seem

to happen consistently. Also, everything kind of seem ran together.

There are tabs at the bottom of the screen. I can still view these.

However, when I choose one, then all the buttons 
are images, and words again. This was nether the case before.


What can I do, if anything?

I will definitely reach out to Apple. As well as my bank.

But might anyone have any thoughts as to how I 
can possibly use the App, until it is back closer to the way it was?


This is rather frustrating. But even more, this 
is an App that I most definitely need to be able 
to use, with as much ease as possible.


Thank you,

Terri

Well it’s hard to say without being on that list and looking at the messages

Use your rotor and see if you can find messages if you messages is in the rotor 
flip down to go up between the messages.

Not sure if that’s gonna work because I don’t know how the digest mode formats

If there is an edit field you can do select all and copy and paste them to

Re: an Uber question

[David Andrews]

I don't know of a way in the app.  I have gone to 
two different addresses, for different people in 
the same car. I suppose some drivers might do 
this, but others wouldn't. I don't think they 
make as much money waiting. you might have to just use a conventional cab.


Dave

You could also batch all your errands and hire a 
driver yourself, that is what I do.

Hi guys:
I’ve only used Uber to go from point A,  to 
point B. My question is can you use Uber to run 
several different errands at once without having 
to call for multiple trips?  If so, how can you 
do this in the app, then find the Uber driver once you exit your stores?
As an example, I call Uber, want to go to the 
grocery store, will be there only 5 min to grab 
milk and bread. Then, I want to go to CVS to run 
inside and pick up an RX. Then I want to call in 
an order to Beef O’bradys for takeout. I’d 
then have to walk inside the restaurant, pickup 
food, get back in uber. Then I want to swing 
through the Starbucks drive through  to pickup a 
large tea. Then, return home. This is an 
example, but I don’t want to have to call an 
Uber after each trip. For one thing, probably a 
15 minute wait.. and my food will get cold!

Hi

Passing on that the MPRNews app has recently been upgraded with respect to 
accessibility improvements for the blind and visually impaired.

 

This is a significant upgrade and seems to have make the app almost entirely 
accessible and usable to my testing.

 

Sending this on for Minnesoata Public Radio fans who may have given up on the 
app, which was pretty bad.

Re: accessible online chat service for professional use

There is LYNC from Microsoft which at least in version 2010 is pretty 
accessible, 2013 not quite as good.

Hi Folks

tis may sound off topic but it is not because of the accessibility 
question in my problem.
My employer plans to use an instant online chat service for the 
citizens of our city called Digital Davy, because I am working at 
the reception for our municipality council services of my own town. 
We were able to implement this system with an online chat window on 
our website and this was provided by a chatbot of skype and later on 
provided with zopim. With skype, this is nolonger possible and last 
year zopim stopped the implementation and add-on service for 
programs like instantbird. With this program I could easily open the 
chatbot and when citizen chats came in, I could simply reply their 
questions as if I would be chatting in an online chat box of which 
we all know this is quite difficult for blind people because of the 
bunch of other informations and refreshings of the pages. But all 
this is nolonger possible at the moment.
My simple question is: are there maybe people out there with 
experience in professional online chat services and if yes, how do 
you manage to be able to chat in a fast and accessible way? I could 
use the IOS operating system as well as windows 7 to fulfill this 
task but at this moment we cannot find anything that is accessible 
to manage online chats with a chatbot or other program. The last 
thing we tried was pidgin, which is fully inaccessible for 
screenreaders. Maybe there are other chances with chat services that 
can work together with voiceover or the latest screenreading software?

OOTunes, which I find hard to believe.

Since the books are usually just over 100M, I'd assume you'd use 
over 100M per book of your data
limit to download them over cellular data. If you're using wifi, 
none of this should be counted
against your cellular data limit. By default the BARD app will only 
download books via wifi.

You can chage this in your account settings on the BARD app.

 Chief among these is battery life on the iPhone. Playing media

other apps that have discrete devices (trekker breeze, color

designed for that one task. Its been my experience that iPhone apps 
are fine in a pinch, but when you want reliability without 
sacrificing battery life, its better to have the extra devices on hand.


 Sure, its convenient to have all your functions and technology 
in one device, but it that device breaks, you are out a whole lot 
more than just a phone.


 Just something to keep in mind.

Re: BARD app submitted to Apple for approval

[David Andrews]

The android app won't be coming out before next year, from what I 
heard, problems with contractor, and with accessibility in Android.

How do you know this? If this is true then that is great news because I know
that there are a lot of blind people who have been waiting a very log time
for it.

I was a pre-beta, and beta tester and a message was sent to the beta 
list participants saying that the app had been submitted for approval.

Re: Contacts question about merging

[David Andrews]

I did this too, and it is reversible.  I don't remember if it was 
under Facebook, or Contacts, but there was an option to undo, which 
worked fine.

Hey guys,

Did any of you get a prompt on the facebook app to murge your FB contacts
with your regular contacts?
I accidentally clicked on yes, and it has created a disaster in my
addressbook.  It just made it where there were too many incomplete contacts
and all that.
How do I get rid of these murged contacts on my phone, did anyone have a
similar experience?

Thanks,
Jed

Re: New Book: iOS Access for All

[David Andrews]

I presume you are familiar with the www.applevis.com site -- this is 
one of the best sources of the kind of information you are after.

Greetings, everyone,

I wanted to let you all know about a project I'm working on. I am 
writing a book about iOS accessibility, called iOS Access for All, 
Your Comprehensive Guide to Accessibility for iPad, iPhone, and iPod 
Touch. I'm writing about all accessibility tools in iOS, including 
VoiceOver, the low vision tools, Sir/voice input, guided access, 
assistive touch, and features designed for hearing impaired users. 
I've been writing about technology and the Mac for more than 25 
years, and this will be my 13th book.


iOS Access for All focuses on teaching you how to use iOS, if you're 
new, and how to get the most from it if you're not. There will also 
be a chapter featuring the best third-party apps. I want to include 
apps that are designed to enhance accessibility, as well as great 
apps in all categories that happen to do accessibility right.


And the app chapter is why I'm writing to this group, even before 
the book is published. I have reviewed hundreds of software products 
over the years, but I know that everyone who uses iOS has a 
different set of favorite apps. I'm looking for feedback about the 
apps you love and why, and which ones you think blind folks and 
other iOS users need to know about.


It's a big topic. I have started discussions of different app 
categories on my site, on Facebook, and on Google Plus. Links are 
below. Please follow the book on your favorite social network, and 
help me kickstart the conversation there. So far, I've posted about 
games and navigation apps. I plan to roll out more discussions 
during the next few weeks, covering productivity, news/information, 
entertainment, reading, lifestyle, and accessibility apps.


There's a link below to my FAQ about the book, but you can also 
learn more about it from a couple of podcasts where I've been 
interviewed. I had a great talk with JJ from 
Blind Bargains and 
Robert and Allison welcomed me to 
The Tech Doctor podcast.


OK, here are my book links:

Google Plus Community: 
http://plus.google.com/communities/104191387699677276608


I'm really excited about this book, and hope it will be a useful 
one-stop shop for anyone interested in accessibility on iOS, 
particularly for new users. I welcome any feedback you have, so use 
the social links above, or get in touch via my personal contact info below.


Thanks,
