Click here to download iOS 8 Update Advice.

In this mini VIP Round Table, Nelson, Shaun, Garth & Hugo discuss their 
concerns regarding the iminent release of iOS 8, due to numerous accessibility 
issues that remain in the Gold Master. Although there are high hopes that the 
final release will not have any of these problems the team advise that people 
do not update to iOS 8 until we have confirmation that accessibility and 
usability of your iOS devices are not degraded by updating. Keep an eye on 
Twitter and the usual V.I websites for more information on day of release.

Hello.  Do a 2-finger double-tap on the city you want to delete.  Next, do a 
single finger swipe to the right until you reach the delete button and do a

Re: Talking Goggles with i-pad mini,

2014-10-04 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello.  I have put all my apps from my iPhone on my iPad Mini.  Some apps 
perform a little quirky, while others perform okay.  I do have Goggles on my 
iPad, but I have not used it yet.  

To get your iPhone apps on your iPad Mini, do the following steps:
First, open up your App Store.  Next, click on the purchased tab.  It is tab 4 
of 5, located on the bottom right-hand corner of your iPad Mini.  In the top 
left-hand corner of your iPad, right underneath the status bar, you should find 
an iPad Apps button.  Double click on that.  A pop up window should appear.  
VoiceOver will say, "selected, iPad Apps". Touch the pop up with one finger to 
put focus on the pop up window.  VoiceOver will say, "dismiss pop up…".  At 
that point, swipe ones to the right with one finger, voiceOver will say, 
"selected, iPad Apps".  Swipe again to the right and you should hear, "iPhone 
Apps".  Double tap on that.  Now all your iPhone apps should be visible.  Put 
your finger back in the top left-hand corner underneath the status bar and you 
should hear, "iPhone Apps button".  You can swipe to the right to pick your 
search criteria and download the apps you want to install on your iPad. Good 
luck.

Gadget Girl

Re: Relaxation App for Help Getting to Sleep

2015-06-15 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello Ren.  They have a track named "Zen Wind & Water", found in their Abstract 
category.  Why don't you take a listen to it.  For me, I think the wind is too 
loud and overpowers the wind chimes, but the wind does die down so you can hear 
the chimes more clearly.  I have written to the developer to ask them if they 
could do one without the wind.  Maybe if more people request this, they would 
be more inclined to do so.  Have a good day.

Re: Relaxation App for Help Getting to Sleep

2015-06-15 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello there.  I did not find that feature either.  Looks like they may have 
discontinued the earbud optimization, or perhaps it's built in?  Nonetheless, I 
have written the developer and ask them that very same question.  When I get a 
response, I will let you know. Have a good day.

Re: Relaxation App for Help Getting to Sleep

2015-06-16 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello Anna.

The App does not automatically put your tracks in alphabetical order, you have 
to do it, as the tracks appear in your list in the order they are downloaded.  
To sort by category, I made folders and put my desired tracks in them.  It's 
very simple.

To put your tracks in an order that works for you, do the following:

Find the "Display folder editing controls" button at the bottom of the screen, 
and select it.  Once in that menu, from left to right, you will find to the 
extreme left, "Folders, back button".  Next, you will have the "Installed 
Tracks" heading.  Then the "Edit folder" button, which will appear dimmed.  
Next, you will find the "Reorder" button; and after that, your list of 
installed tracks.  Select the "Reorder" button.  Now you are in the reordering 
mode.  If you swipe to the right through your track titles, you will notice 
there are three choices for each track.  1.  Delete, to delete the track.  2.  
The name of the track, to play the track; and 3.  Reorder, to reorder your 
titles in an order which is acceptable to you.  Select the "reorder" button.  
That button is draggable.  Double-tap and hold,wait for the sound, then drag to 
rearrange.  You can do this for any track.  When dragging, VoiceOver will tell 
you "moved above name of title", or "moved below name of title".  When done 
rearranging your titles, simply select the "End Reordering" button, found at 
the top right corner of the screen, and you're done.

To make folders, select the "Folders" back button, found in the top left of the 
screen.  Once in that menu, you should find the "New Folder" button, located to 
the top left of the screen.  Selecting the "New folder" button will put you in 
a new folder screen.  Swiping to the right, you will find the "Cancel" button 
in the top left corner.  Next, the "New Folder" heading.  Then, the "Save" 
button; Title Heading, and lastly, the :Untitled folder"  VoiceOver will say, 
"Text field, double-tap to edit".  Single-finger double tap that and you will 
be placed in an editing box.  Type the name of your desired folder.  Next, 
swipe to the right through your list of titles, and single-finger double-tap on 
the titles you want to appear in the folder you've just created.  VoiceOver 
will repeat the name of the title and indicate that track is selected.  When 
done, select the "Save" button, found at the top right corner of the screen.  
You will be able to reorder your titles in each folder you create by finding 
the "Reorder" button, and following the previous steps.  

Keep in mind, though, your folders you create will not be visible in your track 
list when you open the app.  You will have to go to the "Display folder editing 
controls, and select the "Folders" back button to make your folders visible.

I hope I have not confused you now.  LOL.  If I can be of any other help, let 
me know.  Thanks.

Re: External number pad

2015-02-04 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello.  The Apple store carries a wireless number pad.  If you have the 
wireless Apple keyboard, it attaches to the right of the keyboard to become 
one.  You could use either or both. They are sold separately.

Re: Relaxation App For Help Getting To Sleep?

2015-03-21 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello. When you first open the app, and swipe to the right, you will hear 
VoiceOver say "button" several times. I think about four times.  After that, 
you will hear VoiceOver say, more sounds, which is the text for button one. 
Music player, which is the text for button too. Brain waves, which is the text 
for button three. Add free, which is the text for button for.  You can use a 
three finger swipe to the left to read the additional information on the 
following three pages. There is a total of four pages.  After that, you can do 
a one finger swipe to the left to get to the top left corner of the page.  
There you will find a close button. Do a one finger tap on the close button, 
and it will take you to a screen where you can hear the titles of the sounds 
you can select. You can do a one finger swipe to the right to go through the 
sounds. A one finger double tap on a title selects it for your list. Keep in 
mind, you can only select 12 sounds for your list.  When you get to the bottom 
of the page, and hear a stop sound, you can go back up to the top of the page, 
touch one of the titles to put VoiceOver Focus there. Then you can do a three 
finger swipe to the left to go to the next page. There are a total of eight 
pages of sounds.  Swipes to the left increases page numbers; swipes to the 
right decreases page numbers.  Single double tapping a title toggles your 
selection on and off.  When a title is selected for your list, you will hear 
the word selected before it reads your title.  You can select and change your 
list as many times as you want, by toggling the select on and off.  I went 
through each sound by toggling the "select" switch so I could hear what I 
wanted to put into my list.  The rest of the buttons and functions are 
self-explanatory. I went through the app, and played with everything. When you 
have a sound selected, you can go to the bottom of the page, and adjust the 
volume for that particular sound. You can do this for each sound in your list 
of 12 items.  The "button play button" toggles your play on and off. Just 
explore the app and have fun. Hope this helps.

Re: Time Warner Home Security

2015-05-27 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello.  We have had Time Warner Security for many years.  We had it installed 
when I was sighted.  Now that I am blind, I don't find it very useful for a 
blind person.  Four instance, the only thing I can do is arm it and dis-arm it, 
because I know the code.  If we need to bypass a zone, I have to get a sighted 
family member to do it for me.  The keypad is useless, because it does not 
talk.  I have had many discussions with Time Warner, and they know my 
frustration, but they do not have many options for blind people.  Their app is 
quirky, and I need to get a family member who can see to help me navigate it, 
so I don't use it.  I know for a fact, there are some security systems out 
there which speak and let you know what zones are open, i.e., a window, a door, 
etc.  now that there is talk that Charter Cable is supposed to be buying Time 
Warner Cable for 55 billion dollars, we will wait and see if they will 
incorporate any enhancements for their blind customers.  The cable box is 
useless to a blind person, as well as the security system.  If they don't come 
up with a blind friendly solution, we will jump ship and go to a Nother company 
which offers ease-of-use of their products by visually impaired persons.  
Ironically, they send my bill in braille each month, yet, they don't offer any 
Braille remotes, nor a cable box which can tell me what channel I am viewing.

Hope this helps.

Re: Unable to rename a folder on the iPhone

2015-05-31 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi Kimber.

I place and hold my finger on the folder I want to rename.  VoiceOver will say, 
"moving (name of folder)".  I then do a single double-tap on the folder to open 
it.  The folder opens and VoiceOver says, "(name of folder) is editing.  
Double-tap to edit".  I then do a single finger double-tap to open the text box 
and rename my folder.  Hope this helps.

Re: Question about setting up an Outlook account

2016-05-16 Thread Gadget Girl
Yes, Google did change it.  You now have to allow less secure apps for gmail.  
You have to go into your Google account and allow ”less secure apps”.  So, open 
a new Google browser.  Log into your email account you want to add to Outlook.  
When you get there, type the following string: 
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and press enter.  When 
you get to the new screen, turn the ”allow less secure apps” feature on.  Once 
you see the updated screen, you are good to go so log out.

Re: Pilates or yoga apps?

2016-03-10 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello there!  You may want to take a look at the BlindAlive.com website.  They 
have Pilates Level 1 and Level 2 workouts.  The woman who started this 
movement, is blind, so all exercises or fully accessable.  You can buy workouts 
via download and/or physical CDs.  Exercises or explain in full detail right on 
the website.  You can listen to the exercises, and practice them before your 
workout arrives.  I was so excited, I ordered every physical CD, which is 
cheaper than getting a gym membership and or signing up with one of the local 
groups around here for exercise.  I encourage any blind person who is looking 
to get healthy or stay fit, to check out that website.  Hope this helps.

Sorry, OT: PenFriend original for Sale

2016-03-30 Thread Gadget Girl


Hello Listers.  I have an original PenFriend for sale.  It has never been used 
and remains in "brand new" condition.  I am asking $99 or best offer.  If 
interested, please contact me off list.  What you will get:
1 PenFriend labeling pen.
1 Unopened pack of 127 mixed-size labels (small round, large round, large 
square).
1 Neck lanyard.
2 Tripple-A batteries (already installed in the pen).
1 Plastic box (to store additional label packs and to keep all your PenFriend 
items together).
1 Printed instructions.

What is PenFriend?  The PenFriend is an audio labeling system for individuals 
who are blind or have low vision.  The system consists of a digital pen and 
labels which contain barcodes that the pen can read. The pen has internal 
memory built into it along with a microphone and speaker system.  This allows 
an individual to place a label, scan it with the pen, and tthen make an audio 
recording of what that particular label represents.  This PenFriend comes with 
1 Gigabyte of memory which equates to 70 hours of recording time.  A Mini-USB 
to USB cord can be  purchased separately if you would like to back up your pen 
to a computer, but a computer is not required.  The PenFriend is a stand-alone 
unit.  The recordings can be as long or as short as is necessary to describe  
the object.  The updated PenFriend 2 sells between $150 and $199, depending 
upon where you purchase it.  For anyone who has been contemplating getting a

Re: Sorry, OT: PenFriend original for Sale

2016-03-30 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello Jewel.  Sorry about the email.  You can write to 
gadgetgirlke...@gmail.com.  Yes, the labels are reusable.

You can record on each label over and over again.  Once you re-record onto a 
label with a previous recording, The old recording is erased and replaced with 
the new recording.  Please keep in mind that these are adhesive labels, so if 
you plan to remove them, I would adhere them to a small card and punch a hole 
in the corner of the card to insert a rubber band.  I would not attempt to peel 
up the label, as it probably would not stick well anymore.  There are 
additional labels and magnetic packs which are sold separately through many 
vendors.  There are also laundry labels as well, which are sold separately.  If 
you have anymore questions, please feel free to write. Have a great day.

Re: Severe weather alerts

2016-04-29 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello.  You might want to check out the free app, tornado, by American Red 
Cross.  It has given me numerous alerts over the years.  The app is accurate.  
Each time the siren went off, there was a tornado in my area.  The siren is 
loud, followed by a voice saying, "Tornado Warning ...".  This process repeats 
until the tornado alert is cancelled by the National Weather Service.  The App 
Store link to the Tornado app is: Tornado by American Red Cross by American Red

Howdy.  You may also want to try the App, Jazz Radio.  The App I've been using 
for years has always been VoiceOver friendly and the App is free!  However, you 
can purchase a yearly subscription, and you can check their website out.  They

they add holiday jazz stations.  Here is the link to take a look:  Jazz Radio!

Re: latest version of any list

2016-03-08 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello there.  I use this app all the time, and have updated to the latest 
version.  I have not had any problems.  There are new additions, and the app is 
still very accessible. Hope this helps.

Re: Trulia and voiceover

2015-11-06 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi.  I have the app and I found a "button" on the top right of my screen, so I 
clicked on it.  The app opened up to another screen.  You have to explore your 
screen with your finger.  Swiping will not get you past the intro screen.  The 
button to click on in the top right is not labeled.  It just says, "button".  
But I was able to use the app with VoiceOver with no problem.  Hope this helps.

Re: Accessible home automation systems

2015-11-10 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi.  We are contemplating a home automation system as well and were advised to 
take a look at Savant and Control 4.  They both have Apps in the App Store, but 
you need the system and an account to use the App.  Therefore, I don't know how 
VoiceOver friendly they are, despite the contractor telling us they are.  Just 
wanted to throw some other names out there.  For more information, the 
contractor suggested we call a Best Buy Magnolia Design Center, as they sell 
both of these systems and should be knowledgeable.  Good luck in your search.

Re: Trouble with pop up buttons and the picker.

2015-11-20 Thread Gadget Girl
Yeah, I have noticed this too.  I found the picker fields by placing my finger 
on the lower right hand corner of the phone.  Or, perhaps it's in the lower 
middle of the phone screen, just above the home button.  Next time, place your 
finger on the bottom part of the screen after you select the picker, you should 
be able to swipe to your selection after making that area become active.

(1) Weather Radio with in-App purchase of lightening alerts.
(2) Seeing A I.
(3) Be My Eyes.
(4) Nearby Explorer.
(5) Nature Space.
(6) Any List.
(7) Downcast.
(8) Pandora.
(9) Eyes-Free Fitness by BlindAlive.com.
(10) NFB-Newsline.
(11) Talking Alarm.

Re: Stylus for handwriting?

2018-04-18 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello Harry.  I got some number 2 pencil styluses  from Griffin Technologies 
for $8.49, some time ago.  I did a search on their website and unfortunately, 
they are sold out.  You can use any stylus with a capacitor tip to mimic your 
fingertip.  I did an experiment and one pencil mimics 1 fingertip;  Two pencils 
mimic 2 fingertips;  Three pencils mimic 3 fingertips.  I only have 3 pencil 
styluses, so I don’t know about the 4-finger gestures, but I am assuming a 
fourth stylus would work as a fourth finger.  When I put a rubber band around 
the three pencil styluses, I was able to do a 3-finger swipe with them.  Also a 
2-finger swipe with them.  I can also do tap gestures with them as well.  In 
conclusion, I would suggest you do a search for styluses with capacitor tips 
and you should be good. Hope this helps.

Re: I.D. Mate bar code reader instead of iOS barcode app?

2018-05-13 Thread Gadget Girl
I have an ID Mate Summit and upgraded to the ID Mate Galaxy.  The Galaxy is 
great and easy to use.  I like the fact that the Galaxy can be updated by 
Wi-Fi.  My Galaxy scans quickly, even if I’m upside down.  I think a stand

Re: any good lightning head set recommendation

2017-03-18 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi.  I have the Belkin Rockstar splitter, which can be found at the Apple store 
and Best Buy for $39.99.  I use it with my iPhone 7 Plus.  It has a lightning 
end on a cord  which protrudes a few inches from a flattened rectangle.  In the 
flattened rectangle, there are 2 lightening ports to plug in your Lightning to 
USB cord on one side and your Lightning to 3.5 mm headphone/earphone  adapter 
on the other side.  Each side takes either cord so you do not need to worry 
about which port takes which cord.  I find my wired earphones/headphones work 
very well with no features being hindered.  The lightning to 3.5 mm 
headphone/earphone adapter can also be found at Best Buy or your phone carrier 
for $9.99.  This is the same headphone /earphone adapter that came with my 
iPhone 7 Plus.  I picked up a couple to leave on the end of my 
headphones/earphones and I keep another plugged into the splitter along with my 
lightning to USB cord.  When I travel and need to use my earphones for privacy, 
they are always ready to go with the earphone adapter already plugged in.  Hope 
this helps.

Gadget Girl

Re: How do you cloase all the pages in Safari

To close your open tabs in Safari, go to the Pages tab in the lower right-hand 
corner.  Do a single finger double tap to open the tab.  Once opened, swipe up 
on an opened page with one finger.  VoiceOver Will say, "close Tab".  Do a 
single finger double tap to close the tab.  Keep double tapping on tabs after 
that to close the remaining tabs.

Re: I O S 14.2 and Night Sky

2020-11-22 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi Guys!

I got rid of those pesky scene descriptions on my 10 S Max by adding 'Describe 
Images' to my Rotor. Then, whatever App I am in, I turn the Rotor to Describe 
Image and flick up with one finger until I hear the word 'off'. For example, 
when turning it off in Mail, VoiceOver will say, 'Describe images off for 
Mail'; In Phone, Describe Image off for Phone, etc. Flicking again will turn it 
back on, so be sure to turn the Rotor to something else like characters, words, 
etc., to avoid this. HTH. Happy Holidays to all!

Best regards,
Anita K.

Re: Lightning alert for the WDT weather radio app

2020-12-31 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi there. I renew my subscription every year without issue. renewal has been 
$4.99 per year.

Registration is optional; but  in order to restore your purchase, you will need 
to be registered.

When you first open the App and flicking to the right, you will hear a list of 
your saved Locations you have designated to be monitored; Then Maps. If you 
continue swiping to the right, VoiceOver jumps back to the  top, does not take 
you to the bottom, and continues to go back to the top and read down the list 
again. So,  place your finger in the lower left corner (about a half inch from 
the Bottom). You should now be on the ToolBar. Now, when swiping to the right, 
You should hear: Purchase Lightning, Add Location, Share, Settings, and Play 
Audio. selecting Purchase Lightning will take you to the Option you are looking 
for. My subscription is still active until next year so my screen displays, 
'Lightning Alert Switch Button On' and my subscription's Expiry Date. If the 
subscription has expired, it generally would show options to purchase Lightning 
Alerts for $4.99.  I believe the Restore option is to move an active 
Subscription to a new Device. Once purchased, be sure to go to Settings to turn 
on your preferences for the App, such as Lightning & National Weather Service 
(NWS) Alerts. Note, the 'Back Button' is at the top left corner. Hope this 
helps.

Re: Lightning alert for the WDT weather radio app

2021-01-01 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi. I agree with Richard… Call Apple Accessibility. Sometimes I need to delete 
my apps and reinstall them due to corruption of files, but this could be an 
Apple accessibility problem. Good luck. Happy new year!

Re: Question of the Week: What is your Favorite Apple product and Why?

2021-12-21 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi All, Happy Holidays to You! My Favorite Apples are My Blue iPhone 13 Pro Max 
and Magic Keyboard. The Phone is quite large but, it's large enough to 
accommodate My over 15GB Music Collection, Photos, Apps, Videos, and Devices 
that use Companion Apps, such as My WeWALK Smart Cane,  and more without 
depleting the phone's Battery. Feels great in the Hand. Nice, sleek Design with 
rounded corners, sort of like the Candy Bar style. Reminds Me of an iPhone 4 
Plus on Steroids. LOL.

Some Cons are, some People feel the Phone is Too Large, a bit Weighty, and does 
not Fit in A Pocket well. I did experience some strain between my Pointing 
Finger and Thumb from holding the Phone too long when I first got it, but that 
only lasted about 1 Week. I like to keep my Phones in fully Protected 
Covers/Cases, and all I have been able to find are just the 'Phone Back' kind 
of Cases which are basically Plastic, Acrylic, and Leather to go on the Phone; 
And since I prefer Wallet-Style Cases/Covers for full protection, I am still on 
the Hunt. The Phone only comes with the Charging Cable which uses the new Port 
and requires the new Brick for Rapid Charging. The Phone does not come with the 
Brick, so that's an additional $20 USD added to Your Tab. No Earphones included.

Pros are, the Phone can still use the standard Lightening to USB Charging Cable 
and Standard Brick, most of Us already Own, for standard charging. Phone is 
MagSafe ready. A Phone with a Dead/Almost Dead Battery can charge quickly 
within Minutes instead of Hours to get You up and running with the included 
Charging Cable and (purchased separately) wall Brick. Note: Since I do not have 
an updated MacBook Pro, I do not know if the new oval-type Port is included on 
those Models, but please let me Know. Phone comes with Apple Stickers if You're 
a Collector. There are plenty varieties of Phone Backing Cases/Covers and Glass 
Screen Protectors, If that's what You prefer. A Store told Me, try looking 
online for Full protection types. A Payment Plan (through AT&T) will last You 
about 3 Years, if that's what You choose.

All and all, love it so far. Hope this helps those of You on the Fence.  

Best regards,
Anita K. 🧑🏽‍🦯

Re: Question about the CVS Pharmacy App and Spoken RX

2021-12-22 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi there.

If you have not already taken a look at the FREE ScripTalk program, You owe it 
to yourself to check it out. The FREE ScripTalk App and FREE Talking 
Prescription Label Program is through En-Vision America who discontinued the ID 
Mate Talking Barcode Scanner line to focus on their ScripTalk Products.

I (and others) found the CVS Talking RX App very cluttered and confusing. I 
took a look at it sometime ago, but decided to stay with ScripTalk who has been 
around longer than the CVS App/Talking RX Program. Additionally, the ScripTalk 
App is non-cluttered and easy to use. Moreover, I also have the FREE Loaner 
ScripTalk Station Device, which is also Portable and suitable for Travel, 
should someone wish not to use the ScripTalk Smartphone App, such as some 
Seniors, etc.

Although I have become an Advocate for Emphasizing Accessible Prescription 
Solutions for Individuals who may have Low-Vision, Print Impairments, 
Blindness, and other Disabilities at the Pharmacy Counter, I truly believe in 
the ScripTalk Program and have been using it for Years now. In fact, I got my 
Pharmacy signed up, and other People in the Community use the Program too. I 
have heard many complaints about the Talking RX with similar complaints I had. 

I recently did a feature of En-Vision America's ScripTalk Program on my new 
YouTube Channel, Sightless Living. If anyone would like to hear about the FREE 
ScripTalk Program and FREE App, you can See/Hear it here: How Do Blind People 
Take Medication Safely, Independently, and With Surety?

Re: "Eyes Free Fitness" app

Hi.  The app stopped working for me about two weeks ahead of their final date

for exercising.

Re: Facial recognition

2019-09-29 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi Rich,

I was having the same problem when I went from a 7 plus to a 10 S max.  I got 
frustrated and went to my local Apple Store and there, an Apple Associate (who 
greets people at the door), did my Face Recognition for me and I have never had 
a problem yet. It has been over one year now and the recognition even works in 
the dark. I suggest you go to your local Apple Store and have an Apple 
Associate do your Face Recognition for you. HTH.

Anita

Re: Ergonomic Bluetooth keyboards

2020-06-17 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi there!

I have an 'old school', Brand New, still in the manufacturer's box, full-size 
ergonomic keyboard by Microsoft.  I purchased it in the Win 32 USB, Windows 
XP/Mac era.  Keyboard has never been used.  Only recently opened to examine 
contents inside the box since never opened after purchase.  Just never got to 
it.  Box in excellent, Like-New condition.  Still wrapped in box as Microsoft 
left it.  Getting Started booklet and software included.  No missing parts.  
From clean, dry climate-controlled storage.  Non-Smoking/Pet-Free environment.

Unsure if Keyboard speaks or can work with VoiceOver since a Copyright on the 
box reads, 2005 Microsoft Corp.  Also unsure if Keyboard offers Bluetooth, as 
Keyboard uses a wire to plug in, but at least, that could be another option for 
your Client.

Now cleaning out Office closet which has Brand New & Lightly Enjoyed 'Blasts 
from the Past'!  This is the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 with 
Advanced Ergonomic Desighn.  I will be posting this item on the BlindAds list.  
Thanks. 

Best regards,
Anita K.

Re: Lightning alert

2020-06-23 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi. I listened to a podcast that was reviewed on AppleVis years ago and got the 
app, Weather Radio. It has a paid Lightening Alert which was (and still is) 
$4.99 USD.  You renew it every year. Although sometimes I miss the date, it 
still gives me alerts.  It gives lightening at approx. 4 miles out and is very 
accurate in my case.  i've been using it a very long time… Years; and have 
never been struct!

Re: portable bluetooth keyboard

2013-03-18 Thread Gadget Girl
Good day Denise.  Several years ago I got an AppsKey Pro by Hippie, which is an 
Apple folding wireless Bluetooth keyboard.  It ran about $60 or $70 because it 
came with a paid app which was free once you furnished the special code that 
came with the keyboard.  From this app, you could launch shortcuts to websites 
such as, CNN, EBay, Facebook, iTunes, Flicker, Safari, Amazon, Skype, WSJ, 
Twitter, Shazam, uTube, Wikipedia, Mall, App Store, etc.   The unit came with a 
protective pouch and has a pull-out stand to rest an iPhone or iPod Touch.  
Although this keyboard also works with iPad, I believe the pull-out stand would 
not support it and would topple over, but that's my opinion.  I've never rested 
an iPad on it.  The keyboard powers on using 2 double-A batteries and has an on 
and off switch.  When folded, the keyboard measures approx. 6-inches wide by 
4-inches deep by 3-quarters inch thick; and when opened, measures 12 & one-half 
inches wide, giving you full-sized keys to work on with a slim profile.  

I like this keyboard.  I toss it in a handbag, tote bag and it fits in a deep 
pocket.  It's light to carry and feels good to the touch.  Sighted friends have 
told me there is a LED light which glows when unit is on to let you know the 
switch is in the "on" position.  I put a bump dot next to the "on" position and 
try to remember to slide the switch to the "off" position when done.  I don't 
know if it is still available, but I'm sure there are comparable models out 
there.  Good luck in your quest to find a suitable keyboard.

Re: Updating Apps

2013-03-24 Thread Gadget Girl
I had this problem a year ago.  After about two weeks, I contacted my local 
Apple store and was told to sync my iPod to my computer.  I did this, my 
computer updated iTunes, and after I ejected the iPod from the computer, I went 
back to the App Store, clicked "update all", and it worked.  The Apple store 
told me that although the unit can update on its own, it does need to sync from 
time to time.

AT&T and the Next program

2013-10-09 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi everyone.  Anybody using AT&T's next program, wherein you can get an iPhone 
5S by only paying taxes on the phone?  I was told gone are the days of buying 
the phone outright.   I was told you can upgrade every 12 months.  I was told 
each time a new iPhone comes out, you can upgrade without penalty.

Is anyone using this program?  If so, how do you like it?  Do you not own your 
phone?

Any feedback you have would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: New iPhone 5s.

Hello Sieghard.

Thank you for the detailed information on setting up a new 5S.  I had followed 
those same steps when I did my phone, however, my apps appeared scattered all 
over the phone.  None of my folders came over with the apps inside them.  
Rather than spending hours reorganizing all the apps and putting them back into 
folders, is there any way to re-sync the iPhone to get back what I had?

Re: Handwriting

2013-10-20 Thread Gadget Girl
Start by making a period by placing one finger on the screen to make a dot.  
Then do a two finger swipe up or down to toggle to the punctuation mark you 
want.  This toggle method works in other modes as well.  For example, if you 
write the letter U and the letter V appears, you could use the two finger swipe 
down or up to toggle to the letter of choice.

Handwriting In iOS 7 »

2013-10-20 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello Leila.  Here is a good article on the handwriting function.  It's quite a 
ways down the page, so be sure to scroll down the page.  Also, the article did 
not mention that a three finger swipe from left to right inserts a new line.

Thank you for supplying the support email.  I too am experiencing talking

Re: problem when moving apps around. anyone else had this bug

2013-09-21 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello.  

I am having that same problem.  When I drag some apps over a folder, I hear no 
sound and the app goes back to where I moved it from.  I give up!  Good thing 
this is my iPod and iPad.  I don't plan to upgrade the iPhone until a couple of 
upgrades come out for bug fixes.  So far, my latest iPod and iPad which are 
running IOS 7 have become unstable.

Re: iPhone4 folders with 12 apps r on 2 or 3 pages

Hello everyone.  I believe you can have up to 14 pages of 9 apps per page, 
giving us a total of 126 apps per folder.

Re: hanging with friends and advertisements that even stay in app store

2013-09-23 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi.  I had a problem similar to that yesterday.  I got into an app that popped 
up an advertisement, and I could not get out, and there was no dismiss button.  
I close the App Store and when I came back into the App Store, the 
advertisement was still fullscreen!  So, I went into the app switcher and close 
the app. When I went back into the App Store, it was like I was never there. 
All new and ready to start again.

I noticed, if you close your apps that are running after using them, you rarely 
run into issues which we read about on this list.  As a rule, I try to remember 
to close all running apps at night before I go to bed.

How I close my apps are, Double-click the home button.  Voice over will say, 
app switcher.  Then I swipe to the right with one finger. Voiceover will give 
me the name of the app and tell me it's running and then tell me to swipe up 
with three fingers to close the app.  I again, swipe up with one finger, and 
voiceover says, close and the name of the app that is running.  I then double 
tap with one finger to close that app.  Then, if any other apps are open, the 
next one will appear and voiceover will say, running.  I again double tap using 
one finger.  I continue this procedure and till I hear the word home, meaning I 
have closed all running apps.  I double tap on the home button, and Voila, I am 
back at the home screen. .

Re: handwriting to unlock your phone

Yes, there is a way to unlock your phone using the hand writing.  There is a 
short podcast on the how to be blind website showing you how to do that.  Just 
go to, how to be blind.com, and look for the to the point podcast.  Then click 
on episode one, which is handwriting.

Re: Handwriting - how to get a comma, colon and other observations

2013-09-25 Thread Gadget Girl
Hello.  From the punctuation mode, put one finger on the screen to make a 
period.  Then swipe up or down with two fingers to toggle through this 
selections. If you swipe down, the next selection should be a comma.

Re: downloading or, catching podcasts

2013-09-29 Thread Gadget Girl
Hi.  I use the downcast pod catcher app, which is also very accessible.   I 
would suggest navigating to the Applevis website, Search for the pod catcher 
app you have, listen to the podcast so you know how to use it, and proceed from 
there.  The podcasts usually play directly from the website, if you do not have 
a pod catcher app already installed.  That's how I originally got started.  
Good luck.

Re: What does the emergency services tone for the government alert sound like?

2014-06-17 Thread Gadget Girl Anita
Hello.  I have the free tornado app from the American Red Cross.  When we had a 
tornado a month ago, my phone was sitting on its charger with all apps closed.  
The thunder was rumbling outside.  I could hear it started to rain.

All of a sudden a loud siren sounded followed by a voice saying, "tornado 
warning".  It repeated itself a couple of times before going silent.  About 5 
minutes later, the process started again with the siren and voice warning.  
This continued until the National Weather Service cancelled the alert, at which 
time I received an alert that the NWS cancelled said alert.  This is a very 
good free app.  It was later confirmed that we had an actual tornado.

I have not yet  experienced a government alert.

Re: Creating Folders on my Home Screen

2013-10-19 Thread Gadget Girl Anita
I have this issue from time to time also.  I find wiggling the app slowly 
around and on top of the app I want to create the folder with usually works.  I 
find it more difficult to make folders in iOS 7.  Good luck.
