Turning Off Notifications All At Once?
Hi, A question about turning off notifications on the iPhone. I just went into settings to see if there was a toggle to turn off all notifications at once, but no such luck. I'm assuming that I will need to open all apps there and turn them off individually. Is that correct? Thanks.

Re: The GMail app versus the native IOS app?
Hi, For the most part, I use the native mail app. However, I do have the Gmail app installed just in case the native app starts to act up and I that annoying error message of "can't get mail the server is not responding..." This is a way for me to begin troubleshooting the problem. Like others, I haven't been informed that the Gmail app is more secure. HTH.

Re: Gmail server message
Hi, This very annoying mail bug just happened a few minutes ago. The first thing I did was to go to the app switcher and close everything out. That did the trick this time. I start with that and then sometimes I need to move on to more drastic items such as deleting the account from settings, mail/contacts/calendar and reestablish the Gmail account again. In the past, I have called Apple accessibility for assistance and they have stated that Gmail seems to get stuck or some how corrupted. I was polite but really didn't buy that. I do Have the Gmail app on the phone and when this happens I know that Gmail is working because I get my recent mail to show up there and also on my Mac. Go figure it.

Re: Has anyone tried Talking Goggles with iPhone 6S and iOs 9.02?
Hi Ann, Do you mean silent or muted? Or, when you turn speech off with a 3 finger double tap? I tried to use Talking Goggles 2 days ago and got no response after a few minutes, so I went on to the next app in my list of tricks to get the info I needed. It was on video mode, flash on and running 8.4.1 on an iPhone6. I had all apps closed out of the app switcher. If I can get it to work, it takes a tremendous amount of time, so I try something else like BeMyEyes. HTH.

Re: Pairing a brailliant 32
Hi Mary, I may be off base, but I use my Humanware Apex with my phone. I know with the Apex the device needs to be turned on and terminal mode selected with lluetooth. Have you tried turning on the braille display first and then the phone. It's worth a go. Like another post stated that you may want to forget the device and start fresh. HTH.

Re: Braille screen input. Is it just me, or really unreliable, indeed?
I just want to let others know that MBraille at times isn't much better. I know it's a 3rd party app, but after attempting to word process for over 1/2 hour that I give up and pair my Apex with the phone. I'm toying with purchasing the Smart Beetle for portability and not to deal with on screen braille keyboards. I have written to the developer about all the problems with the app and it appears that his hands are tied because it's iOS related. He did mention that those who are running 9.0... are having a better experience in using the app, but for various reasons I'm not upgrading as of yet. Thanks for listening and I truly hope one day us braille users will have a much better experience in the iOS environment.

Re: Creating Folders In iOS 9
Hello, Even though I don’t have a 6S, have either one of you tried using a BT keyboard? Once the app is selected, press the keystroke VO-Shift-M and move it where you want. Perform the same keystroke to drop the app onto the place you want to move it to. I have been reading on how BT keyboards are not working just right, but toggling the screen curtain off/on may get the BT keyboard to do its magic. HTH.

Re: Newbie Apple Pay question
Hello, I don't get to use Apple Pay as much as I would like because of the lack of merchants that accept it. Mark, you gave me good reason to check my settings to see if I would be notified each time which dard I would like to use. I went "to settings under "Passport and Apple Pay" and didn't see any option to turn this on. Am I missing something? Under the default card button, I could change the credit card there, but nothing else was said about selecting a different card at checkout. Please advise on where I can find this setting. As far as I'm concern, Apple Pay is probably the most secure method to complete a transaction. Everytime I go into a store that is not on the Apple Pay band wagon, I ask if they except it. Usually, They don't even know what I'm talking about. Go figure that out. Best, Eileen Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 27, 2015, at 12:49 PM, M.

Re: my braille is working
Hi Rebecca, I was using my Apex this morning and I have a question about 6 dot and 8 dot braille. I found that the braille display had 6 dot, but didn’t indicate if it represented contracted or uncontracted braille. I changed it to 6 dot contracted, but what is the difference between 6 and 8 dot contracted braille? I was able to get a message or 2 sent off. I’ve been having lots of difficulty using MBraille either as a 3rd party or the main keyboard. So, for now, I’m going to stick with the display. thanks.

Re: my braille is working
Hi Rebecca, Thanks for your explanation. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that's having problems with MBraille. I recently sent Harri an email stating all of my frustrations and difficulties in using the app. I'm not sure if some of the issues are not from the iOS 8.4.1. At this time, I'll be sticking to this version. There's enough problems in iOS 9.0.1 that I want to stay away from it. Again, thanks for the info. I probably too should change the braille input to UEB. I began learning and reviewing in the NFB primer for UEB, but I think I'll contact The Hadley School for their course.

Re: My phone won't send email:
Hi, If what Joe stated doesn't work, you may need to reset the network settings. This is found in the settings menu on the phone. Go to general and at the bottom will be a reset button. You can get to the bottom of this menu by performing a 4 finger single tap just above the home button. Open this with a single finger double tap and flick from left to right until you hear "reset network settings." Perform a single finger double tap and it will give you a confirmation if you want to reset. Press yes. You will need your user name and password to re-enter the information when you open the mail app and create the account again. You may want to take a look at all your settings and jot them down for future reference if need be. HTH.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary Is Now Having Ads
Hello List, Just updated the latest version of Merriam-Webster Dictionary app on my iPhone 6 running 8.4 1. Although the app is VO accessible, there are now ads that are interspersed when viewing the content. I searched for a simple word and received an ad for baseball tickets and a massage. Has anyone else use this app and was able to get rid of these nagging pests? I was looking for a settings button, but none was seen. Is there a settings button that I overlooked? If there's not a way to opt out of receiving these ads, is anyone using a dictionary app that is VO compatible and does not include ads? Thanks in advance.

Bard Update Threads Found In Top iOS 9 Bugs Threads
Hello List, this is a gentle request. I just opened a few threads on Top Bugs Found In iOS9 and found the Bard Update highjack thread. It only takes an additional minute or so to create a new thread as I am doing. although I’m interested in the Bard update, it doesn’t belong in top bugs in iOS9. At this crucial time when iOS9 was just released yesterday, I want to read about this topic and not about Bard. Please, Please!!! try not to highjack a thread. I’m not trying to be a monitor and I infrequently will post something like this, but when one is subscribed to several lists and numerous posts need to be looked at or purged, it just makes my life and others simpler.

Re: Fopydo Book Reading attachment
Hi Richard, Question about the book attachment. You had mentioned that you don't need to hold down the book. How well does it work with text books with the curve one may get at the spine of the book?

Re: Downloading A Purchased Book Into iBooks
Hi Michael, I wanted to update you on the download of my purchased book to the iPhone. I finally called Apple Accessibility earlier today. For one thing, I wasn't signed into iTunes on the phone and I assumed I was. I signed in and out after that, but it didn't clear up getting the book onto the phone. The next step was to sync the phone with iTunes on the Mac. When I reached the book list to sync to the phone, the only way to check the checkbox was to turn on Quick Nav and press the up/down keys together. This did the trick and I clicked on the applied button. Finally, the task was completed. I'll store that tip with the Quick Nav up/down keys in a safe place if I run into a issue like this in the future. Thanks again and take care.

Re: Downloading A Purchased Book Into iBooks
Hi Michael, First, thanks for taking the time to troubleshoot this for me. I just went back into iBooks to the purchased tab. The book is not listed under the not on this phone tab. However, it does show up under the all tab with the download button dimmed. I did try a double tap and hold to see if I could pass through whatever is hanging this up. No such luck. All I seem to get in the not on this iPho interface is instructions to use the rotor for headings, notes, and links. When I open the my books tab, I do have the action rotor features and there's a delete button at on the top row under the status line.. The only thing left for me to do later on when I can find a small window is to call Apple Accessibility to see if they can unraghel this. Again, thanks for your help.

Re: Do you use ATM to cash your money?
My question to you are: If in the future the ATM companies may opt for touch screens, where will this leave us?, Will we be back to square one like several years ago when the NFB sued Diebold?, and What was the companies response in regards to accessibility if they choose to proceed with touch screens? All I can say is that the POS machines in various types of establishments have become less accessible. I can swipe my card, put the pin in, but the ability to select cash back and to accept the amount of purchase is not accessible because these options are on a touch screen. This makes me once again dependent upon others to complete my transaction. To answer another post about the ATM machines in the US, all of the banks that I need to perform a transaction with have headphone jacks. For the most part, I don’t have any problems using the machines if I do elect to use them. Since most computer software in the ATMs are still on XP, I usually go into the bank to do all of my banking or at home with online services. At least at home, I can control the security aspect as best as I can.

Re: KNFB READER
Hi Carol, This is only a thought. When I get that nagging message that no text has been found, I make sure that the camera is very clean. I will use either rubbing alcohol or a multi-cleaner especially made for electronic devices. This usually clears up the error message. I also make sure that there is plenty of ambient lighting and not to cast shadows. Good luck and post if this seems to help. By the way, I’m running KNFB Reader on an iPhone 6, which may make the app run faster and more forgiving if the camera and written text is not lined up perfectly.

Re: Scanning An Image By KNFB-Reader From Whatsapp?
Hi, I would think this would work. Take a screen shot of the images in Whatsapp holding down the home and power button together for 2-3 secnnds. Open KNFB Reader and go to add from library. This is located 2 down from the take a picture button. Tap on it. the next screen is where all your photos are located. The most recent one will be at the bottom of the heap. Tap on it. The next screen will ask to reprocess that image, so tap on that. KNFB should do its thing and in a very short time you should be able to read the contents of those images. HTH.

Re: Ring tone question
Hi Wendy, Are you using a PC or Mac with iTunes? I had some problems on the Mac side using 12.1. I would interact with the scroll area, select the playlist tones and stop interacting with it. The problem came in when I went to the top, found the LTE section and wanted to sync all the ringtones at once. When I went back to the phone I found that I was always missing one of them. I never could figure out why. For some reason, it is what it is and maybe when I finally decide to upgrade to iTunes 12.2.1, it will be fixed. Eileen Sent from my iPhone On Jul 18, 2015, at 11:39 PM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Wendy, You can add your ringtone to iTunes as a song, then find it in your list of songs, right click on it and select the Create AAC version option. This will convert it to an M4A file which is the iTunes music format. You then have to rename this file so it has an extension of m4r, then copy it back into your automatically add to iTunes folder and next time you open iTunes it should be correctly moved into your Tones folder and added to your Tones library. You then still have to connect your phone and sync it over. Alternatively, and if you are just doing one or a few tones I find this even easier, you can use a number of free online converters out there. One I tried and find very simple to use is at the following URL: http://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-m4a Once you are on that site just use the button quick nav key to find the browse button. This will open a regular windows dialogue, find your file wherever it is saved and select Open. Now use b again to jump to the convert button, wait a bit and check the notification bar to see if you are prompted to open or save the file. Select save and the converted file will be downloaded to your Downloads folder.. Keep in mind that it's only converted to M4A so you will still have to rename the extension to m4r before you can Copy it into the automatically add to iTunes folder, open iTunes to automatically move it to the tones folder and add it to your tones library. Now sync the tones to your phone. If you use Windows 7 chances are the setting to Hide extensions for known file types is turned on in which case you have to go to Tools and Folder Options, then Control+Tab to the View Page, tab twice into the treeview of options and press pagedown once, then down arrow once. This should take you onto that option, if it is turned on you can turn it off by pressing the spacebar. Now tab to Ok and activate it. The m4a extension will now be part of the file name and visible, you can now press F2 to rename it, all you have to do really is change the a at the end to an r.

Re: Ring tone question
Ditto on making sure the extension is a MP4R. Since you purchased the ringtone, it should be the correct amount of secods for the transfer. If you create your own ringtones, the tone can't be more than 40 seconds, so I usually stop my ringtones at 38 seconds. HTH.

Re: Replacing Braille Notetaker with iDevice
Hello Folks, I have been following this thread, especially regarding the HW products. I haven't paired my Apex to my iPhone 6 in quite a while. This is because I have chosen my braille input on the phone to use the MBraille app and voice of Alex. I still prefer to read novels and the such on the Apex. I download the books directly from Bookshare on to the device. Hence, one can continue using a braille notetaker for that purpose. My question to those who are using or have used HW products what causes it to lock uf? I would like to give the Apex a second chance with my iPhone 6 once again.

I’m bummed to hear about the Brailliant BI 40. Humanware makes awesome displays, or is it Baum who manufactures their Braille cells? Regardless, the crisp quality is fantastic, and despite their advances in software, it’s a feat HIMS has not been able to match. The problem with the Brailliant is the lack of notetaking support. I need to be able to whip out a display and input data, sometimes in secure environments where Bluetooth and/or wi-fi is not accessible. The Braille Edge seems promising. Cost-wise at $3,000 it’s in the middle of the pack. I much prefer Humanware’s thumb keys to navigate back and forth. I can’t come up with many cons against it come to think of it. The VarioUltra is the next best option, but at $4,000 it’s certainly requiring more of a fascination to justify the expense. It does have notetaking ability and I hear the Braille display quality is superb. If the price weren’t so high... The thought of bypassing iOS and connecting to my Windows ultrabook is another possibility as someone mentioned. Yet, even as small as my ultrabook is, it would still not be as portable as linking up to my phone. I read back over my writing and sound like a whiny brat to myself. Still, it can’t be as difficult as it is to get a good input method down for someone interested in reading Braille! Anyway, thanks guys for entertaining my questions and for your suggestions.

Dell Venue or Toshiba Encore for example. A 2gb model wont’ run you more than $250.00 and probably less if you really hunt for a deal or don’t’ mind going refurbished or used. Apple is great and all, but perhaps in a circumstance like this, for practicle purposes, going for more robust and reliable Braille support may be the way to go. Perhaps use cloud based services in order to have as much synchronicity on Windows and i-devices as well. Perhaps not ideal since you’d be talking about a totally separate device and reliance on Internet access, but there you go.

I have two questions for you. 1. When using a focus 40 blue with IOS devices, does the focus ever lock up when you are writing braille? Do you have a 16 32 or 64 bit IOS device? 2. Does Apple have to write drivers for each braille display? What part do the braille display manufacturers play in making sure their devices work with IOS? I'm asking you because you were vice president of Hardware products with Freedom Scientific so your experience here may halp us in our advocacy efforts. As far as the Humanware Firmware update is concerned, it did nothing to resolve the problem of the Brailliant locking up. Thanks so much.

Andy From: Jenny Wood Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2015 9:46 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Gonna give Uber a try for the first time this week Hi Keith, As others have said, the app will charge your credit card automatically at the end of the ride. You will see a request to rate your driver and your receipt presented on a screen within the app shortly after the ride is complete. You should also receive a copy of your receipt via Email. As far as tipping, the idea is that you are not required to tip, and I have never had a driver even so much as ask for one. However, I do think it’s a pretty common practice to toss a buck or two their way if you are satisfied with the ride, but again, there should be no expectation or requirement to do so. Pretty much every driver I get at least acts pleasantly surprised to receive any kind of a tip, and whether genuine or not, it makes me (as the rider) feel good. grin And yes, one of the ways Uber and Lyft differ from taxies is that they do not charge you per rider. So whether you are riding alone, or have four good buddies with you, the fair is the same. In fact, they have a feature available from within the app to split the fair among riders if you wish. I’ll be honest, I tend to be in the camp of riders that prefers not to give advanced warning about the fact I have a service dog. My own experience has taught me that if I give them any impression whatsoever that they have the option of ditching out of the ride before actually having to talk to me face-to-face, the odds of being denied go up dramatically. But having said that, I have *never* been denied access by any Uber driver. I know there is a lot of effort put forth by blind folks to run the company into the ground based on some bad experiences, the same bad experiences that could and do occur with so many other companies, but I feel like it’s important to recognize that there isn’t really some big conspiracy to shut out the blind people, and acknowledge that there are many very good, kind drivers out there who abide by the rules on a daily basis. In fact, I have had at least one driver who made it very clear, in very polite terms mind you, that he does not now, and has never liked dogs, but he said he still has respect for service dogs and their ability to help people, and he also knows he is required to transport them regardless of his preferences. I was very impressed by his candor and ability to set aside his personal preferences for the sake of his job and respect for others. But whether or not you choose to notify the driver ahead of time is up to you of course, and you can contact the driver directly via the app I believe. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter: KC5GNI “I’m the kid who has this habit of dreaming, Sometimes gets me in trouble too.

Re: Still trying to set up group text messages.
Hi Sandy, I never knew that one could name the group. I went back into my message app and opened a group of 2 to check this out. The top row of buttons has a group back button, next is the details button and the next flick right is the group edit field. HTH.

Re: Be My Eyes App
Hello, In the past couple of weeks, I have used the app. Here are some problems I have encountered, but eventually received the assistance I was requesting. 1. Connecting to a helper took too long. I disconnected and reconnected again and was successful. 2. The helper couldn't see the object in question because it was not clear enough. I disconnected, cleaned the lens of the phone's camera and reconnected. This did the trick. 3. On the first attempt to connect to a helper, I was disconnected within a second or two. This was after waiting a few minutes to get connected in the first place. 4. And yes, I have been connected to individuals who's English has been marginal and difficult to understand. At times, they have had a hard time pronouncing hard words, which could happen to anyone. What I don't understand is that there are a substantial amount of helpers to those of us who are requesting assistance and it would be nice to be connected to individuals in a similar geographic area. There have been times when an individual will state that I'm there first person that they are helping. I would think there is a way to filter the individuals in order of geographical areas to decrease the frustrations in getting assistance for us who are seeking it. JMO.

I tried the app and after a few minutes, a woman answered. She seemed to have a middle eastern accent. She didn't seem to want to read me the label on my pill bottle though and quickly disconnected. I tried again and within a minute a woman with a German accent answered. It was mid-morning in Europe. she instructed me on how to position the camera and pill bottle so she could read it. Apparently, the pill bottle must be rotated in one hand while the camera is kept straight and without movement in the other hand so the camera does not get out of focus. she did not know how to pronounce acetaminophen, the generic name for Tylenol, or codeine. she apologized for her English skills, but many native English speakers can't pronounce these names either. She did tell me though how many pills to take before signing off in personal embarrassment. she took time out of her life to provide valuable help at a time of need, for which I am grateful. I wonder if others have had volunteers who could be helpful but had a low confidence in their skills. fortunately, I live in a big city and both a 24 hour CVS and Walgreen's are a half mile walk from my house and across the street from each other.

Just to add to the last post, the pair button is right under the battery percent indicator on the status area at the top. Also, I change the typing mode to standard, so I can perform a sllit double tap to enter the 4 zeros and to activate the pair button. You don't have very much time to get this done, so that's why I get one index finger very close to the pair button and use a split double tap. Usually, I can pair the Apex in 1-2 tries. HTH.

Re: Paypal app not letting me log in?
Hello, I’ll try composing my thoughts here from my Mac. Because MBraille is a third party keyboard, I believe for security purposes Apple will not allow 3rd party keyboards enter text into a password edit field. When one adds a third party keyboard in settings under general and keyboards, it asks one to give keyboard access to your data. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I would want third party keyboards having access to my passwords. With all kinds of hacking these days, I need to have some control over my security. Others responding to this thread can correct me if I am wrong. As a matter-of-fact, I did use MBraille when signing into Paypal’s app with my user name, but when I jumped to the password edit field, the English native keyboard was presented. On another note, there are times when I am in an app’s edit field, and access MBraille as my third party keyboard, the text brailed is not inputted and it’s not a password edit field. I have tried all different ways to input the text, but the app itself must not support any third party keyboard input. HTH.

Re: Visual Brailler
Hi Mark, thanks for jogging my memory about PerkiDuck. I didn’t know there was a Mac version for this software. The one thing I remembered trying to use PerkiDuck with my PC laptop was that not all keyboards would work with it. I have been able to do 6 key input on my Dell 4110 laptop through Duxbury, so I would think it would work with PerkiDuck. This is good to know that Hadley can print it out in braille once they receive the file. I believe I understood that part of the post. If not, please inform me. I always thought PerkiDuck was only to practice the input of braille. Thanks again. Eileen On May 12, 2015, at 12:53 AM, M. Taylor mk...@ucla.edu wrote: Hello Jennie, I don't know anything about Visual Brailler; however, there is a 6-key input free software program you can use to type Braille directly into your computer. This software does not use any translation so one cannot cheat, so to speak. It was developed and maintained by Duxbury and it's called Perky Duck. This software works very well on Windows and I believe there is now a Mac version, also. What I like most about this little utility is that if you have a Braille input device such as a Focus 40 you may use it. If you do not have a hardware Braille input device you may use the computer's keyboard to enter the dots, just as if you were working on a Perkins Braille writer. Give Duxbury a call or Google the info. It's basically a Braille text editor. You create the files, save them, and then email them off to your instructor who can open the file with Duxbury. The files are saved with an extension that can only be created by Perky Duck. In short, Perky Duck is a scaled-down version of the Duxbury Braille Translator; it was developed for just such a purpose as you stated in your original post. I used Perky Duck to acquire both my Braille transcription and Braille literary proofreading licenses.

Re: Visual Brailler
Hi Chris, I haven't seen any of the onboard braille apps save a BRF file. Another thought Jen, is to use a Braille notetaker and then send it to an embosser if you have access to one. However, I took contracted braille many years ago from Hadley and they either would only allow the use of a slate and stylius or the Perkins Brailler. Check the requirements of what is permitted.

Re: transfering ring tones
Hello, Maybe you can answer this question about adding ringtones with iTunes 12.1.2. I go through all the steps in the current version and interact with the scroll area where the buttons are found to either sync all or selected ringtones. There is also a table listing the ringtones. I make sure all are checked. I stop interacting with the table and the scroll area and find the apply button and activate it. I hear the charm that I think the ringtones have ALL sync to the phone. This is the problem. When I go into a contact to select a ringtone, 2 out of the 3 are listed at the top. I have been able to reproduce this by repeating the process and then the ringtone that was dimmed is now present, but one of the other ones is dimmed. So, what's the deal on this one? I created 2 of 3 ringtones in Amadeus Pro, with a extension of m4r. I'm using an iPhone6 with 8.3. I hope someone can solve this mystery. Thanks in advance.

Re: Barcode Scanning
I agree with you Richard about Digit-Eyes being the go to app. I just want to add that the camera on any iPhone is linear. Hence, it takes lots of practice finding those barcodes. I don't know which USB barcode scanner you are using, but it's probably an Omni directional type. Therefore, capturing the barcode is easier to find then on the phone's camera. I've been using Digit-Eyes since it came out and I still have problems from time to time capturing the barcodes. I'm using an iPhone 6 with 8.3. My extensive use of the app is creating my own barcode labels for my work files and important docs. HTH.

Again under the Braille settings, you'll find this one undder the input settings. They moved it starting in iOS 8.0.

Any Issues Boarding A Flight with the External Battery Pack
Hi Jonathan, I'm going to change the subject line. I just heard on the radio this morning that United Airline has joined Delta in banning lithium batteries on their flights.

Hi Richard, When I responded to this post, I was interested to see what would generate the scan button. I ditto what you say and use all of what you indicated in your response and them some.

A Simple Solution To The KNFB Reader OCR Lesulss
Hello, A simple solution to increasing the accuracy of the KNFB Reader is to make sure that the camera lens is clean. I have been getting more gibberish lately and the app Digit-Eyes was not capturing the baarcodes from my labels, so I decided to clean the lens. This did the trick and now the accuracy of the scans from the KNFB Reader are being produced with no errors again. I hope this may help others who are having problems getting a good OCR with the app. Best, Eileen Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: Update is out!
Hello Folks, After reading the thread on this the other day, I decided to try and move an app to the row above the doc. At first, I was unsuccessful, but kept on trying different solutions. What seemed to work is to move the app to the row above and then move it down to the row above the doc. This worked for me and maybe it will work for others.

Re: KNFB Reader dropts to $49.99
Hi Sandy, I was using KNFB Reader this morning to verify the address on an envelope before mailing. I knew that the orientation was correct, but the app didn't read it and gave me nonsense. I needed to switch to another OCR app on the phone and to be honest OpenBook on my PC was the best for this task. The KNFB Reader app even crashed one time, so I needed to launch it again. I did made sure that all apps were closed from the app switcher. This didn't make a difference in getting readable text from KNFB Reader. Thought I would just pipe in on my most recent experience.

Supported Markdown syntax: • Headings. Use # (number sign) at the beginning of a paragraph for Headings. Number of # (number signs) is the heading level. These acts are markers that allow you to navigate the document easily using the Outline. VoiceOver users can jump to these markers using the cursor tool. When you export as a Word document, for example, these become styled as headings. • Lists. (minus sign) at the beginning of a paragraph to denote a bulleted list, and a number followed by a period and a space denote a numbered list. If you'll ultiamtely export the document to HTML, RTF or Word, the numbers will be generate in the right sequence. • Italics. Surround a word or phrase with asterisk to italicize it. • Bold.

Re: any Accessible Flighs Tracking Apps?
Hello All, I looked at both apps for flight tracking and decided to purchased Flight view. I listened to the podcast and thought it was simple to use and VO accessible. This app was $1 less than Flight Track and had a better rating. I have inputted the flights that I need to track for tomorrow. Again, thanks for the suggestions.

Re: Be my eyes now available in the US App Store.
Hello, Yesterday I needed to identify a hair product that DigitEyes would not pick up. Since I had downloaded the app earlier in the day, I decided to give it a spin. This app reminds me very much of VizWiz, but has taken object recognition to the next level. The beauty of this app is that it is done in real time, with the helper giving you instructions in the optimum position to give the blind individual the information one wants. The tremendous advantage of Be My Eyes over TapTapSee is that one can ask specific questions about the item in question. With all apps like this, one should use good judgment in having sensitive or personal information not identified. This is to protect your own identity and security. That said, I was impressed in the rapid response and obtaining the information I needed. With VizWiz, it could take almost all day to get a response. I hope this assists others in giving the app a spin. Also, on a podcast I listened to this morning stated that they are a nonprofit organization and funding will end in September. Who knows what the business model will be, but in my opinion it would be worth The cost if it's reasonable to continue the service. The ability to receive accurate information is the quenching factor for me and that's a big difference from TapTapSee.

Having said that, I also need to say that some amount of using the site will be necessary for people if they are to know how well they can expect it to work. Of course, how well it works will change with the person on the other end of the communication link, but we do need to have some experience with the app before knowing that we can use it in and emergency. I didn’t really need to know the information about the picture on my wall I asked about yesterday, but I felt I needed to see how it worked for starters.

Re: Be my eyes now available in the US App Store.
Hello All, I just want to report back my experience with the Be My Eyes. When I tapped on the button to connect to a sighted person, the click sound feedback from VO reduced in volume. Once the sighted person was connected to me, the volume returned to the lavel that it was set to. The individual that assisted me gave good instructions in correcting the bottle. I needed to identify if the bottle was shampoo or conditioner. I received the response promptly. I decided to use the app because Digit-Eyes couldn't find the barcode on this item. It was a pleasure to have something similar to BizWiz once again in the ability to ask a question in real time. The only wait time was to be connected to a sighted individual, but once that occurred the amount of time to receive a answer was quick. I'm hofing that in the future that the business model will be reasonable. This app is definitely a winner.

Re: some air travel questions
Hello All, I haven't flown since last April, so I don't know if things have changed with Jet Llue. Fortunately, I was traveling with my husband. We needed to go to the counter, but the reservation clerk tagged us to go through the express line for security. That was a first and wonderful exqerience not to take off shoes, disrobe, and pull out all the electronic devices. As long as I or we will have access to a checkin desk, I think it will be sufficient for now I'm glad to hear that some of the air carriers are more accessible to us. Thanks for sharing.

Sent from my iPhone On Jan 7, 2015, at 8:02 AM, Kelly Pierce kellyt...@gmail.com wrote: Dean, In July 2013, I flew to Dallas from Chicago with United Airlines. It was possible then with the United app to check in and create an electronic boarding pass that was used for both a security screening and to board the plane. At the time, I seemed to be one of very few people that presented my iPhone to validate my itinerary with security officials or to present it to the gate agent so he could scan the bar code displayed on the screen. The app allowed me to bypass the lines at the ticket counter and I felt airport freedom for the first time in my life after the September 11 era. The app has some unlabeled buttons and functionality that is not voice over friendly. I thought about writing the company identifying these accessibility problems, but I fly so infrequently that I felt my time was better invested into another access project. A couple of years ago, the National Federation of the blind revealed a partnership with Travelocity. A company representative spoke to the convention and NFB leaders sung the praises of Travelocity’s accessibility. I haven’t used Travelocity yet, but I plan to. In the days of UNIX shells, Expedia seemed to be the most accessible using Lynx in the late 1990s. Now things have changed with some airlines like Southwest selling their tickets only through their own website and at airport ticket counters. This can be important for certain flights. For example, the only non-stop flight from Chicago to Phoenix is on Southwest. When I was in Dallas, I used the Seeing Eye GPS app to find my gate. Someone had geolocated all the DFW gates on Foursquare. These appeared as points of interest on the app. I flicked until I heard my gate and the app directed me through the airport. I also used the app to find a restaurant serving a chicken dinner. I asked the app to only list restaurant POIs and a short list appeared. The app guided me to the other end of the terminal to the front entrance of the restaurant. I would not have known about this restaurant if it were not for the app. The restaurant near my gate was a sandwich shop. As a weightlifter, I need loads of protein not carbs. The chicken dinner was the perfect food for me before my delayed flight.

I usually book with reward miles, either the Canadian Air Miles program or the Aeroplan program and neither of them has apps yet which allow for actually booking a flight from a mobile device. Both websites can be navigated but you do have to be pretty proficient with the Jaws cursor. Anyhow, for actually booking flights I have been very happy with Expedia. I have just used it to book a flight for my wife from Manila, Philippines to Vancouver and I also used it about a year ago for booking a flight from Hong Kong to Manila and prior to that for some in-country flights in Thailand. I have my information and credit card information stored as part of my account information and it's really a breeze to use it. The very last screen is a bit tricky as you have to agree to their terms and conditions and it's some sort of slider you have to drag up to 100%, but if I remember correctly a double tap and hold and then a slide to the right will do the trick. I have used Kayak in the past, but it's been some years. I do, however, think it was quite accessible as well. I used the United Airlines app 2 years ago when I flew to Maui via Los Angeles, but just to track flights and be notified of delays and so on. I agree with Alan that Flight View is very accessible and I usually prefer it now if I simply want good flight tracking. For Hotel booking, should you need that, Expedia also works well or you can use either Booking.com

With the fact that one needs to purchase pictures, I don't think I would want to waste one and not be able to indicate what I am after.

Re: Requesting Suggestions On Scanning A Large Paperback Book WithThe KNFB Reader
Hello All, My question to you Sandy is: What is a Theromix? I am waiting for the update to complete for JAWS 16. I will then look at both programs; Kurzweil 1000 and OpenBook 9 to see which I will scan the book into. I also do have Fine Reader Pro on theMac, but I'm more familiar with the PC side for text-to-speech software and have extensive experience with them to push the software to their limits. What I don't like with these apps is the fact that when I save the file in a DOC or DOCX format, I lose some of the format of the document. I really need to scan a recipe with KNFB Reader. I only got to the beginning of the book, so no recipes were actually scanned with the app. I will not pull the book apart for a better scan of it.That I do know. Thanks again for all the suggestions.

Re: Requesting Suggestions On Scanning A Large Paperback Book WithThe KNFB Reader
Hello All, Thanks for the suggestions. I was expecting the solution of using either Kurzweil 1000 or OpenBook 9, which I do have both of. I suppose I could take the pages out of the binding, but I was hoping to keep it in tack. I actually got a very accurate scan with the StandScan Pro without using its lights and only the camera flash from the KNFB Reader. I will give Bookshare a call and see what the process is for one of their volunteers to scan the cookbook. In the past, when in grad school, I sometimes needed to purchase 2 copies, so the person who was doing the scanning could do some markup. Again, thanks and I do know that I can use the batch mode in KNFB Reader. I just don't know the reliability of using this mode and if the app will crash in the middle of this project. My sure bet is to use the PC. *Smile* Well, the only other idea I can come up with is to find the index and get the page numbers to specific recipes that look interesting and scan only those recipes. Thanks for the suggestions. Cheers, Eileen Sent from my iPhone On Jan 1, 2015, at 12:30 PM, Joanne Chua shuang.an...@gmail.com wrote: I think she did mention that is a 300+ a4 size cook book. If, KNFB is the only option, you might want to make sure that is fair distance beetween the book and the camera/phone, to make sure that the phone camera can ditact the whole page. Scanstand or Scanbox might pretty much help, but, if it is a big thick book, you migh need other solution like putting it on top of some stand that you improvise yourself, like a box or something. Usually, allow your phone to have about 15/20CM or about 6 distance on top of the book and make sure you have plenty of light coming through the pages. try scan it page by page, instead of two side page at the same time.

Results From The KNFB Reader Using The StandScan Pro
Hello List, I thought others would find this of some interest. I have set up my StandScan Pro without using the lights that are installed within the StandScan Pro. On the KNFB Reader, I made sure that the camera light is toggled on. Scans that I am receiving with the 2 devices are extremely accurate. I am not sure if this is a bug, but I would need to go back into my emails to see if by adding pages manually that the KNFB Reader will not process more pages until I toggle on/off the batch mode. This is needed to be done after tapping on the add page button, tapping on the back button to go to the main interface to take the picture. I did try the batch mode and scanned 4 pages as a test. When I tapped on the Multiprocess button, VO announced processing 1 out of 4. When the OCR processing stopped, the KNFB Reader began to read the first page processed. I just thought I would share this with others. The book I'm scanning is over 300 pages, so I'm not sure if I will proceed using the KNFB Reader or one of my PC OCR text to speech soffware. HTH.

However, I find it a bit odd or strange in getting KNFB Reader to OCR the text after the picture is taken. Here are the steps I take: 1: I approximate the center of the page with the iPhone's camera. 2. I use the field of view report to make sure that all 4 corners are visible and the orientation is correct. 3. I tap on the take picture button. The camera of the KNFB Reader does flash because I can see the light from the flash go off. 4. After step 3, the app does not open the next page for reading the OCR text from what had just been scanned. I have closed out all apps in the app chooser including the KNFB Reader app. When I reopen it, I receive the same behavior with no text read after the picture has been taken. Do I need to perform a hard reset in order to get the app to function properly? Please advise as I would like to scan this with the KNFB Reader app. Thanks in advance.

Re: KNFB Reader Not Reading The Text After Scanning
Hi Carol, One method I picked up from a post a long time ago when I began to use Prizmo was to estimate the center of the printed page whatever the size was. I started with the regular 8 X 11.5 paper and folded it in half both lengthwise and widthwise to get a center point. The folds on the paper gave me a guide to place the camera down in alignment and to raise the camera up straight. I have been using OCR on the phone for a while now and I just estimate with my hands to find the center point. With the KNFB Reader, I have only missed on occasion and needed to rescan an item again. Each of the object recognition apps have their strengths and weaknesses, but it's sure nice to have choices. Happy scanning and I hope my tip may help you and others get a better scan on the first shot.

However, I find it a bit odd or strange in getting KNFB Reader to OCR the text after the picture is taken. Here are the steps I take: 1: I approximate the center of the page with the iPhone's camera. 2. I use the field of view report to make sure that all 4 corners are visible and the orientation is correct. 3. I tap on the take picture button. The camera of the KNFB Reader does flash because I can see the light from the flash go off. 4. After step 3, the app does not open the next page for reading the OCR text from what had just been scanned. I have closed out all apps in the app chooser including the KNFB Reader app. When I reopen it, I receive the same behavior with no text read after the picture has been taken. Do I need to perform a hard reset in order to get the app to function properly? Please advise as I would like to scan this with the KNFB Reader app. Thanks in advance.

Re: KNFB Reader Not Reading The Text After Scanning
Hello All, This was a simple fix, as one post suggested to check if the batch mode had been turned on accidentally. To my surprise, it was and I am now getting the app to process the scanned text. Later on today or tomorrow, I'll play around with the batch mode, since I have a couple of items I can use that option with. Thanks again for all that have responded to my post concerning text not being read by the KNFB Reader.

Just keeping it level though is where I can fall down, hence I put on the Tilt Guidance most of the time at the moment, though I hope not to have to do this too much longer.
