Major bug in entire Settings menu?

2014-10-21 Thread Dr. Avnish Chopra M.D.
In the entire settings menu, the on/off toggle   settings are not announced! 
You cannot know if you have turned a setting on or off! I first noticed this in 
the cellular settings, when I turn cellular data on or off I do not know! 
Similarly I do not know if LTE  is turned on or off! Later I checked in the 
shortcuts menu, yet again no announcement off the status of the buttons, 
whether we have selected on or off. For example, Enable Caps Lock Double tap to 
toggle setting is announced by Voice Over , but it's current  status is not 
announced! One will never know whether it is on or off!! This is true for all 
the items. Selecting settings with iOS 8.1 on my iPhone six is like Russian 
roulette!   
Comments please!

Create a spreadsheet on your iPhone!

2014-06-29 Thread Dr. Avnish Chopra M.D.
Looking for a spreadsheet to create, edit and format on your iPhone? I tried a 
number of spreadsheets including Numbers from Apple. But none of them were 
fully workable. I finally found one! This one works perfectly! I could create, 
edit, format, enter formulas, enter  text, reference  other spreadsheets, and 
even formats the text! Besides, I had the added benefit of being able to 
collaborate with others on the spreadsheet!  Ironically, the spreadsheet is 
from Google!! Try it you will  you love it! 🍻Cheers!

Vibrating Glove Teaches Braille

2014-06-27 Thread Dr. Avnish Chopra M.D.
Vibrating Glove Teaches Braille
Ubergizmo

I am a firm believer that the very day in which we stop learning, that is more 
often than not the day that we die. Learning Braille is definitely not easy at 
all, especially for someone who has not yet lost his or her sight, and for 
those who have lost their eyesight and want to pick up Braille, it can be quite 
challenging, too. There are concepts in the past that might help ease the 
passage of learning, but none of those seem to be able to hold a candle to this 
vibrating glove that will be able to let one pick up Braille thanks to the 
wonders of passive haptic learning.

Researchers over at the Georgia Institute of Technology have managed to come up 
with a glove that will allow users to learn how to read and write Braille, even 
when they are focusing on unrelated activities. How does it work? This wearable 
computer will rely on miniature vibrating motors that have been sewn into the 
knuckles, and it was discovered that motor skills in participants were being 
developed without requiring them to focus on the movement of their hands.

It is said that only 10% of the 40 million blind persons worldwide learn 
Braille, with the main barrier being schools neglecting this aspect of 
learning. Thad Starner, College of Computing Professor at Georgia Tech and 
technical lead/manager on Google’s Project Glass, said, “The process is based 
on passive haptic learning (PHL). We’ve learned that people can acquire motor 
skills through vibrations without devoting active attention to their hands.”
