Dear Menus4ALL customers and supporters,

It is with heavy hearts that Stephanie and I announce the discontinuation of
the iPhone Menus4ALL app effective February 28, 2024.

Over the past year, we have been proud to offer over 1,000,000 US and 80,000
Canadian accessible restaurant menus to our customers. We believe that our app
has not only increased independence but also added joy to special occasions,
such as dates, holidays, anniversaries, and birthdays at restaurants.
Unfortunately, due to low sales, we can no longer provide this service.

However, we remain hopeful that someone else will create a similar app to
support the accessibility needs of our customers. As an alternative, we
recommend using Aira and Be My AI to fulfill your accessible restaurant menu
needs.

If you have an annual subscription, please feel free to cancel. If you have a
monthly subscription, Apple will not bill you any further. As we are a vendor
of Apple, everything must be handled through your App Store account.

To learn more visit our website. Thank you for supporting this groundbreaking
product,

Helen Fernety (she, her)

Concerning call not releasing from AIRA Explorer and leaving zoom room/meeting not activating.

2023-09-26 Thread Julie Dawson

Dear Listers,
Since I upgraded to IOS17.1 I am having instances of:
1. When I finish a call with AIRA Explorer, when the representative finishes 
then releases the call it used to make a slight click then I would be forwarded 
to the rating page where you rate the representative and the app then submit. 
My iPhone hangs there once the call is dropped and there is a button saying 
"end call" which does not activate.
2. When a meeting is over in zoom I used to double tap the "leave meeting" 
button and was dropped from the meeting back to my main screen. Now sinc the 
upgrade, I double tap on the "leave meeting" button and the action hangs up and 
will not complete. 
Does anyone have any workarounds and is this or other similar instances 
happening to other iPhone users?
3. Since IOS17 upgrade the lightness of touch on the screen is more delicate 
and often loses focus. When I focus on an item such as an item in my cart at 
Walmart the focus when I double tap goes to another item entirely. 
Is there any setting to bypass this issue?
I truly thank you for your assistance if possible and for your patience while 
reading my questions, issues and requests.
Sincerely,
Julie D.

  Then, there is a button, not very well labeled, that is the close button.

  When I do that, the voice change is saved.

the app. She ever only gives me the forecasts.

  Normally, I have no issues with Siri commands, but since the developer was 
able to duplicate the issue, you are very lucky to get it to work consistently 
when the developer can't, .

  Well, I just tried five or six times in a row and only when I miss spoke did 
Siri say which app do you want to listen to this on? I responded with a Rollin 
G, and Siri asked for access, I said, yes, it played it on Weatherology.

  The next time I asked, it just spoke at its self like it has done every time 
cents. So hopefully the developer will figure this bug out and fix it 
permanently.

  I wrote them and the developer said the command should be "Hey Siri, play 
my forecast on Weatherology."  But he tried it several times and got the same 
response I did, so he is working on that.

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

Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

AppleInsider  /  n...@appleinsider.com (Amber Neely)

Twitter has updated its developer agreement to explicitly prohibit 
third-party app makers from creating their own clients using the company's API.

On Thursday, Twitter updated its developer's agreement with a clause 
prohibiting app developers from making their own Twitter clients.

The change comes a few days after developers began reporting their apps no 
longer worked.

The "restrictions" section of Twitter's development agreement has been 
expanded to help "enforce its long-standing API rules," according to the 
company's development Twitter account. It noted that, as a result, some apps 
might not work.

  Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some 
apps not working.

  — Twitter Dev (@TwitterDev) January 17, 2023

However, as Engadget points out, it does not align with the company's 
history. Third-party apps have been central to Twitter use for most of the 
social media platform's history.

Twitterific, for example, has been a crucial part of Twitter's history 
since the beginning. Twitterific had a native iOS app before Twitter did and is 
credited with coining the word "tweet."

As a result of the API restriction, developers have begun pulling their 
apps out of the App Store.

  Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to pull 
Twitterrific from both the iOS and Mac App Stores.

  Twitter's unexplained revocation of our API access has left the app with 
no path forward. Please read our blog for more information 
https://t.co/UZSdmqZtMD

  — Twitterrific (@Twitterrific) January 19, 2023

Restricting API access is another incident in a string of current 
controversies purportedly caused by Elon Musk acquiring the company in October 
2022. This particular move is probably focused on preserving advertising 
revenue for the company, as third-party clients often filtered out sponsored 
posts and similar media.

In December, Twitter began blocking user links to other social platforms. 
That was rolled back after user protest, and it's not clear when or if that 
will begin again.

Re: SE 2022

2022-12-03 Thread Julie Dawson

 hearing aids to listen to audio. Though 
the Bluetooth connection still becomes choppy from time to time on the 
iPhone SE 3, I have noticed it happens a bit less than on the SE 2. I 
noticed, for example, that I had issues with Bluetooth 3 times in an hour 
when using the SE 2; that went down to 1 time the next hour when using the 
SE 3.


Audio
Though my ears are certainly not the best judge, I am still able to hear 
sound quality differences when they are dramatic enough--unless I’m 
comparing the iPhone SE 2 with the SE 3. I had a friend hang on to both the 
SE 2 and SE 3 and randomly play the same song through one device or another, 
and my guesses were only correct about 40% of the time. When reversing the 
exercise, my friend who says he has normal hearing could also not tell the 
difference reliably. If there is an improvement, then, it is my conclusion 
that the differences are very subtle.


When testing for any sort of lagginess with the iPhone SE 2 and SE 3, I 
noted none when using speech output. Concerning Siri, I noticed that the SE 
3 is much faster than the SE 2, likely because of the 5G connection. 
Speaking of 5G, the SE 3 does not have access to the MM wave band of 
frequencies. What this means is that the iPhone 13 will likely outperform 
the SE 3 when in cities where 5g has been deployed and works correctly. 
Locally, there appeared to be no difference between the 13 and SE 3.


Conclusion
Just like with the flagship products versus the older models going back to 
the original iPhone SE, there are compromises with the iPhone SE 3. One of 
those compromises is the price tag; at $429 for the 64 GB version, it’s the 
cheapest iPhone on the market. Though there are some things missing from the 
SE 3 which are on the flagship iPhones, like the camera system, Face ID and 
a longer battery life, for some individuals, it will be a more solid 
solution. As for me, I was considering returning the SE 3 due to the 
annoying braille panning issues I did not have to contend with on my SE 2, 
which is still running iOS 15.1. After some bugs were resolved in 15.4.1, I 
will keep the phone since the increased speed and longer battery life when 
compared to the SE 2 are welcomed changes.


HTH,

Julie Dawson

I have the SE3 and I like it very much. The sound quality on calls and 
voice-over and SIRI are light years beyond the original SE but I miss my 
rose gold colour in the original SE.

  I suspect not; but you could ask Apple Accessibility if that is a setting 
somewhere.
  I knew someone in college who took that kind of response as a very rude way 
to respond. It also strikes me as the kind of response someone gives when they 
ar: reading and only half listening to you. But, I usually don't hear it 
because I don't wait for a response when I use Hey Siri; because I know as soon 
as I say Hey Siri, it is listening; so no need to wait for its response.

Are you using Hey Siri or holding the side button?  If holding the

much softer than it used to be.

Sieghard, Didn't I just read in this group or maybe another group that you 
are running the IOS beta on your iPhone? It is nice to know that Apple has 
fixed the bug to be released in an upcoming update. Until the IOS update is 
released, Siri identifying songs won't work for those of us who aren't beta 
testers. Downloading Shazam & using Siri still does not return any results. 
I've checked Settings, Siri & Settings, Accessibility, Siri & can't find a 
setting that may need changing to have Siri identify songs.

The 11 certainly can.
While Siri for some odd reason cannot seem to identify music, the Shazam

Just keep entering the digits you want without entering a decimal point. For
example, if you want to enter $75.50 you just enter 7550 and the app will move
the decimal point as you enter more digits. In the example for $75.50, here is
what VoiceOver will say.

When you enter 7 Voiceover will say 7 cents.

When you enter 5, VoiceOver will say 75 cents.

When you enter 5, VoiceOver will say 5 dollars and 75 cents.

When you enter 0, VoiceOver will say 75 dollars and 50 cents.

Hi All,

Using an SE2020 phone running iOS15.7. I tried sending money using the
PayPal app for the first time yesterday and found I couldn't type in the amount
I wanted to send.

I was using a K380 keyboard, if it matters, and the field was just called,
Label, that you enter your amount into. It's not a text field that you double
tap on to hear, text field is editing, like you normally hear when you are
entering text.

Anyways, when i typed the number 7, to enter 75.00 , voiceover reported 7
cents then when i typed the 5 voiceover reported 75 cents, and that's all I
could do. I couldn't navigate this field, or at least I couldn't find a way to
navigate it myself.

I ended up using my PC to send the money. If anyone knows the correct way to
enter the money amount into the PayPal app, would youplease share the steps?
All input is greatly appreciated. Thanks much.

Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers!

Re: Making an App more accessible

2022-07-10 Thread Julie Dawson

When you look up an app in the app store the developer is listed at the end 
of the app information and screen shots. Usually there is a website or way 
to contact the developer. Or you could get the developer information and 
find the additional contact information through Google perhaps.

Hello everyone,

What are some of the best ways to reach out to an App developer, about 
making their App more accessible?

I haven't ever attempted to do this sort of thing. I don't have a lot of 
confidence in doing such a thing. But there is an App I would like to be 
able to use. It is somewhat accessible.

However, there are areas that could really use some improvements. I would 
like to reach out to the developer and share my concerns. Also, what I 
think needs to be worked on.

But it is very important to me to state what I am needing/wanting, without 
being ugly. Or with just saying something like, this isn't working for me. 
Sometimes though, I can find it difficult to express why it might not 
work, or what changes might need to be made.

Could anyone who has much more experience with doing such things, please 
give me some pointers?

I would really appreciate this.

Thank you,

Terri

  Try a three finger double tap to toggle speech on.

  You should hear it say, speech on.  If it says speech off, then speech was 
already on and you may have to try getting VoiceOver reading and tapping the up 
volume button until you hear something.

  Your volume may have gotten turned down too far.

  Make sure under Settings, Sounds and Haptics, that change with buttons is off.

I want to be able to use this App for many reasons. Mainly, for keeping

I think it can be fun to discover what others are reading as well.


So, thanks again. It's much appreciated.


Please stay safe, and well.

mention of accessibility or VoiceOver updates a few times, so that is
good to see. I can't off hand think of a part of the app which is not
accessible, but there are probably one or two places. Perhaps scanning
in barcodes, but you could just as easily enter the information
through cut and paste from a site like Amazon. To answer the
specialized format issue, another option is to create a bookshelf
labeled Braille, and store all of your Braille or audiobook titles
there when you finish the book.

  HI Pam,

  This app has had its accessibility problems for a long time.

  I also have an iPhone 8 and I can reorder items but I can’t buy anything 
new. I’ve had the same experience just last night; tried to add 2 cookies to my 
cart from McDonalds and when I double tap on the item it doesn’t go anywhere. 

  When I went into my cart they asked if I wanted to add anything and 2 
cookies just happened to be on the list of things you could add and this time 
it worked.

  I have been using the Instacart app for more than two years with a great deal

a shopper, the screen refreshes every ten to twelve seconds. This means that if 
I am reading a fairly long message from the shopper, the screen refreshes 
before I complete it and after screen refresh I need to start over reading.

  Anyone else notice this? Instacart has been unresponsive in acknowledging the 
issue and Apple says they have never seen it.

  I should say that this issue occurred with my iPhone XS Max and now happens 
also with my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Any thoughts are appreciated.

  You are being prompted to enter a passcode because you didn’t have one before

  There is no reason why you cannot continue using your device without a

  No, she is not wrong about it asking for a new passcode. I updated my 12 Mini 
to 14.4 yesterday and was also asked about face ID and Passcode. However, I did 
see the passcode options button.

  Cher,

  I'm a bit confused because I thought I'd read all the posts in this thread. 
Are you saying that you upgraded your device which previously had a 4 digit 
passcode to iOS 14.4. and during that process you were presented with a screen 
requesting a new 6 digit passcode? If that is the case, your experience seems 
to differ with what everyone else who has posted experienced including myself. 
That leads me to believe that either my understanding of what has happened is 
incorrect or you need to provide some additional details in order for us to 
help. Based on my experience, it sounds as if you are on a new device setup 
screen where the default is to prompt the user to set up a 6 digit passcode but 
also provides an option to opt for a 4 digit passcode as others have posted. I 
was not presented with any such screen when updating to iOS 14.4 so either your 
facts disagree with my understanding or your facts need a different subject 
line. I would agree with Richard that you might call Apple Accessibility but I 
suspect they will ask for the additional details I requested above.

  I hope you can get this sorted.

  If you flick right, you should get to a point in the screen where you can 
choose different options including a shorter four digit passcode or something 
alphanumeric. Just remember you'll have to remember and use it whenever you 
unlock your phone and don't use touch or face id. There are also other 
circumstances when you'll be occasionally asked for your passcode.

If you have a pass code that is four characters,

The phone should not need you to change that to a 6 digit code before 
installing the update,

If anything it would prompt you after you restart as part of a setup option 
to create a new and longer pass code,

And even that I would think is crazy of apple to force at that point.

Wow! I wonder if there was an earlier option. Only thing to do here is 
create a six digit passcode and then after setup, go into settings and change 
it to something more suitable later. I can't imagine they'd remove the option 
to customize your passcode from the passcode and id settings. Unfortunately, no 
brilliant ideas occur to me.

Re: A Question About Sounds

2020-12-15 Thread Julie Dawson

You would go into sounds under settings and there are groupings like ring tones 
you want to apply for a person or a certain one you like when texts come in. I 
go through the sounds and double tap on the sound and it highlights the sound 
and plays and find the "done button then back out of sounds and settings.
I hope this helps.

I have two questions which will be quite elementary for all of you. How do I

as I have, how do I get them back? Include all steps. I am not a genius with 
technology and especially not with this phone so won't be hurt if you make the

  Starplayrx streams the XM channels.
  It is really accessible, and it puts everything in catagories.
  I don't know if it has any favorits though, that is the only problem I 
  am having, but other than that, I love the app.

  For my part, I just find touch ID to be a bit more convenient then face 
ID. There are just those times when I don't need to hold the phone up to my 
face, like when I'm lying down or sitting at a table. My hand is already on the 
phone, since I have to touch the screen to interact with it, so it would be no 
big deal to use touch ID.  With face ID though, I have to remember to then hold 
it up to my face, and since I didn't do it immediately, I may have to do it 
more then once or just resort to entering my PIN. I don't hate face ID, and I 
wouldn't avoid buying a phone just because it didn't have touch ID, but with 
all things being equal, I'd go with a phone that supported touch ID.

Re: InstaCart App

2020-09-07 Thread Julie Dawson

You can call 888 2467822 to discuss your account and adjustments. You can put 
an item in your profile that you wish to be called via phone to discuss 
replacements or chat with the shopper/driver which for me have always been the 
same person. I pay $9.99 per month and if I purchase $35.00 products or above 
the delivery is free. Once you set your account up with credit card information 
it is saved so when you check out it is withdrawn from your account. Often 
Instacart originally withdraws a slightly larger amount to cover extra products 
if you add more to your order before shopping begins but the original amount of 
the transaction is what is actually processed. 
HTH,
Julie Dawson

  Hi Shai, 
  I have been looking for a shopping service.  I will check them out 
thoroughly.  I have this service where I live, and I definitely want a shopping 
service like this.  $99 a year isn't a bad deal, and matter of fact, this 
service is right where my favorite store is.  Can I ask you if you order an 
item, and the store is out of it, will the shopper call you to let you know, or 
to ask you if you want to replace it with something else? Do you use this app 
on the phone, or on the pc? 
  Is there somewhere on the app to ask the shopper to please check the 
expiration date especially on the dairy products? I can't even begin to  say 
how many times when I'm at the store, and the shopper picks up the products, 
and I ask him or her to check the expiration date, and low in behold, it was 
out dated some days ago.  
  Do you have your credit card information saved on their web site, so you 
don't have to enter it every time you place an order? 
  Is there a certain amount for the tip? 
  If you have a problem with the purchases, can you call someone to report or 
if you don't get what you asked for, but still been charged for it?
  Am I right in assuming this app is accessible with VoiceOver?  

  Thank you so much. 

  Janet

Re: Instacart

2020-06-21 Thread Julie Dawson

Has anyone noticed that in "your items" where you used to be able to flick up 
and add item quanties to your cart that due to the update you have to now 
double tap and go into each item and add items to your cart that more 
coumbersome way? Also "your items" used to be on the main page of the app and 
now it is more buried. If anyone has some other way of doing this please 
advise. I am a veteran user but may be missing something. I also add 
instructions such as coming to building and buzzing in under my name etc. I am 
delighted at the amount of stores added to their list to cover.

UberEats app problem when placing the order.

2019-11-11 Thread Julie Dawson

I am having no difficulty adding items to the UberEats cart at Applebees but 
when I DT the "place order" button it just says "ordering". It is as if the 
order doesn't complete. It used to complete the order and give you an idea when 
it would arrive etc. It is showing the items still in my cart. I turned my 
phone on, I closed the app, checked my account information which is 
correct, and took out the items I ordered from the cart and replaced them again 
and I still get the same result. If anyone can help, I would appreciate any 
assistance. Does this have to do with a recent update of the app or an 
interaction with IOS13?
With thanks,
Julie

Paring a third party keyboard.

2019-11-05 Thread Julie Dawson

In the past when I sought to pare a third party keyboard in this case an Anker 
keyboard it asked for a code which was sent in a message. I went to message, 
retrieved the code went back and typed it on the keyboard I was paring, hit the 
enter key and it pared seamlessly. Since I updated to IOS12 since it is an 
older device for a friend, it sais sending the code and the paring is 
unsuccessful and I cannot find where the code might be. If anyone has any 
ideas, any guidance would be most definitely appreciated.

Sincerely,
Julie

  When all else fails unpair the keyboard and then pair it back up again.

I totally agree Alan. I use the computer for Audible but they make it so

No arguments here. I still do the majority of my technology input using my

Sieghard,

You cannot check your wish list with the Audible app based on my 
experience and what Audible Support told me when I asked this question on 
the phone the other day. I find that extremely backwards on their part. It 
would seem if they want you to purchase content using the app and 
available credits, that the first thing they should do is give you access 
with the app to your wish list where you store the titles you want to buy.

This sounds pretty complicated and you have to know exactly what book you

Open the Audible app. Switch to my library if it s not already there.
Make sure that all or cloud is checked, rather than  on device . Then
do a search for the book that you want. It should show up in the
results that follow, but just not in your library. Double tap on the
title. The screen that opens will have things like sample on it. It
will also tell you how many credits you have. If you move past that,
you will see a button that says something like add to library for one
credit. If you double tap that, you re good to go.

Hi List,

A couple of weeks ago, I received more than one email from Audible
touting a new feature allowing one to purchase new Audible books
using their app and an account credit. For the life of me, I can't
figure out how to do this using the latest Audible version and my iPhone 
8 running iOS 12.4.1.

When I find a title I'm interested in and double tap on it to get
details about the book, I get a button to sample now and a
publisher's summary but nothing about buying it with a credit. I do
get an option to remove it from my wish list for titles I've placed 
there.


I'm curious what others are experiencing with using the app and
buying with a credit. Voiceover just doesn't seem to offer me the
control button I need to do this.

Thanks in advance for any details you can share.

  Hi, Bonnie,

   

  I was having trouble with my battery last year and it would normally go down 
to 20% before the day was over each day.  I had the battery replaced last 
December but it didn’t work much better.  Since I wanted to have a reliable 
phone when I was going to the NFB convention, I bought a new one.  Do you still 
have Apple Care?  If you do, the cost of the battery should be minimal.

Hi Bonnie, 

 

Unfortunately, the symptoms you describe may mean that your battery is 
beginning to fail. I have known them to be 30 or 40 percent charged, the phone 
just quits, and when plugged in, say some low digit percent. When I replaced 
the battery in this IPhone 6 in the spring, it went from about 40 percent at 
lunch to about 2 percent at 4 o'clock, having been used maybe half an hour's 
worth in the interveening time. I got the battery replaced at Batteries Plus 
for about 50 dollars. Being that your phone will update probably twice more, it 
would be worth replacing the battery since you like your phone.  If it does 
this sudden quitting again, that definitely is not a good sign. If I were you, 
I would take that other battery and cable along if I were going to be away from 
home for very long, in case it quits somewhere very inconvenient for it to do 
so.

Well there are a few things to try for sure. 

The first thing I’d do is see whether it really turned itself off or just 
stopped talking. 

First, make sure it’s plugged in even if you think the battery is fine. 
Plugging it in will actually start it if it’s powered off in most cases. While 
you’re at it, and if it is plugged in, unplug it and replug it in. Note whether 
the little power noise happens.

This doesn’t guarantee anything I found with my last major problem, but try 
muting and unmuting it. If the phone has power, and if you can make it mute and 
unmute, you’ll get that little haptic on muting, this is another good indicator 
that you have power to it.

If you don’t have power to it, leave it plugged in for about 20 minutes and 
try all this again. 

So we’ve got power and it mutes and unmutes, but still not talking. Plug in 
some headphones. Or if you have it paired to a Bluetooth speaker or headset, 
activate that. If that gets sound, but the speaker does not, we can go from 
there. 

If you know you have power, you can try turninging voiceover on and off if 
you’ve set that up on triple click home.

If you still can’t get its attention, we’ll probably have to talk in prep 
for you to

Re: Trouble With IPhone

2019-08-30 Thread Julie Dawson

You can make certain that the phone is not muted by moving the mute button in 
to the unmute position possibly. Also perhaps shut down your phone and then 
restart it for it to come back up. Make certain also to tell Siri to turn 
voiceover on.

Hi,
Sieghard says:
"I still think an otherwise able-bodied blind person should go out from 
time to time to interact with others, not only is there a social aspect 
to this,
but after all one cannot sit around at home all day doing nothing and 
exercise is important."
While such comments are the sort I can easily dismiss and go on my way 
that might not be the case for others. as such
it saddens me that whenever discussions of anything that makes life 
easier whether it be shop at home services or having someone help you 
clean come up people even within our own communities would say such 
things implying that those who use such services don't also do so via 
other means or should need to justify why they make use of such 
conveniences when sighted counterparts would never need to do so.
Obviously we aren't the only users of such services for if we were they 
probably wouldn't be maintained. Thus if someone wouldn't make such 
comments to sighted users of such services it makes me sad that such 
would be said in relation to those who are blind.
I myself have benefitted greatly from the convenience of shopping from 
home whether it be via Peapod grocery delivery service or Amazon or the 
like and I also am found to be out and about in all manner of situations 
quite frequently. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
To make this iPhone related the Peapod app along with too many other 
store iOS apps are quite accessible these days sometimes more so than 
even the websites one can access via the pc. Just last night I couldn't 
choose the color of something at
www.bedbathandbeyond.com on the pc with a screen reader but I could do 
so with ease using Voiceover within their app.


So I say live and let live, use what works best for you and make no 
apologies for it.

Take good care.
Robin

And would you expect to get all of this done for you for free?
I think it's pretty amazing that for $99 a year you get this service and 
delivery for free for a $35 or more order. Even $7 is a pretty low 
delivery fee, how much would it cost you to take a cab to the store to 
get $20 or $25 worth of product?
I fortunately live in a small town where I get a similar service 
provided by our local grocery stores for free, they know who I am and if 
I call Safeway and say "Hey, it's Sieghard, I'd like to pick up a few 
items on my way home" the answer usually is "OK, Sieghard, hang on for a 
sec so I can get a piece of paper and a pen". It so happens that I walk 
right by Safeway on my way home from my store, it takes me about 8 
minutes to walk from my store to Safeway and another 10 from there home. 
If I call a few minutes before I leave and give them 15 or 20 minutes my 
order is usually waiting for me at the customer service counter by the

Also, some folks may realize that people may have more than one 
disability.

Also, I simply hate shopping and have never viewed shopping as a social
activity.  I do prefer dining in a restaurant as opposed to having
restaurant food delivered to home, but dining alone in a restaurant can be 
a

truly depressing experience.

Hi,
Sieghard says:
"I still think an otherwise able-bodied blind person should go out from 
time to time to interact with others, not only is there a social aspect 
to this,
but after all one cannot sit around at home all day doing nothing and 
exercise is important."
While such comments are the sort I can easily dismiss and go on my way 
that might not be the case for others. as such
it saddens me that whenever discussions of anything that makes life 
easier whether it be shop at home services or having someone help you 
clean come up people even within our own communities would say such 
things implying that those who use such services don't also do so via 
other means or should need to justify why they make use of such 
conveniences when sighted counterparts would never need to do so.
Obviously we aren't the only users of such services for if we were they 
probably wouldn't be maintained. Thus if someone wouldn't make such 
comments to sighted users of such services it makes me sad that such 
would be said in relation to those who are blind.
I myself have benefitted greatly from the convenience of shopping from 
home whether it be via Peapod grocery delivery service or Amazon or the 
like and I also am found to be out and about in all manner of situations 
quite frequently. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
To make this iPhone related the Peapod app along with too many other 
store iOS apps are quite accessible these days sometimes more so than 
even the websites one can access via the pc. Just last night I couldn't 
choose the color of something at
www.bedbathandbeyond.com on the pc with a screen reader but I could do so 
with ease using Voiceover within their app.


So I say live and let live, use what works best for you and make no 
apologies for it.

Take good care.
Robin

And would you expect to get all of this done for you for free?
I think it's pretty amazing that for $99 a year you get this service and 
delivery for free for a $35 or more order. Even $7 is a pretty low 
delivery fee, how much would it cost you to take a cab to the store to 
get $20 or $25 worth of product?
I fortunately live in a small town where I get a similar service provided 
by our local grocery stores for free, they know who I am and if I call 
Safeway and say "Hey, it's Sieghard, I'd like to pick up a few items on 
my way home" the answer usually is "OK, Sieghard, hang on for a sec so I 
can get a piece of paper and a pen". It so happens that I walk right by 
Safeway on my way home from my store, it takes me about 8 minutes to walk 
from my store to Safeway and another 10 from there home. If I call a few 
minutes before I leave and give them 15 or 20 minutes my order is usually 
waiting for me at the customer service counter by the time I get there. 
If I am at home and have a larger shop I want to do where maybe a friend 
can pick it up for me or where I send a cab they'll also charge it to my 
credit card and for $11 our local taxi company goes there and picks it up 
for me.
Of course most people may not live in a place where they get such service 
and in those cases a service like Shipt is amazing.
I still think an otherwise able-bodied blind person should go out from 
time to time to interact with others, not only is there a social aspect 
to this, but after all one cannot sit around at home all day doing 
nothing and exercise is important.

Consider a few scenarios.
You have just moved into your college dorm and you realize that you 
forgot
shampoo, your favorite energy bars, sheets for your bed, or treats for 
your

guide dog.

You're in your dentist's waiting room, and you get a text reminder that
three friends are coming over for dinner and you don't have time to get 
the

necessary groceries.

You just plain find going to the grocery store complicated and time
consuming and wish someone could do it for you.
The resounding solution to each of these dilemmas could well be a 
business
called Shipt, a service whose motto is: "We bring the store to your 
door."

Imagine shopping on your mobile phone or laptop for everything from
groceries to party decorations to pet food or toilet paper, and having 
it at

your door in as little as an hour.

What is Shipt?
Shipt Inc. was launched in 2014 by chief executive Bill Smith in 
Birmingham,

Alabama. In December 2017, the grocery delivery service company was
purchased for $550 million by Target. By the end of 2018, Shipt.com had 
a
cadre of over 50,000 shoppers nationwide delivering groceries, pet 
supplies,
household goods and more directly to customers' doors, saving busy 
people
the time and trouble of cruising grocery and retail aisles. For those of 
us
who are blind or low vision, this service is arguably a superior method 
to
traditional shopping since it affords us the opportunity to browse 
products,
read descriptions, and compare prices in a way not necessarily available 
to

us when shopping on site.
Shopping with Shipt can be done on a computer or through an iOS or 
Android

app. This article will deal primarily with the iOS version. The stores
included in the app vary from city to city, although Target seems to be
available in any area in which Shipt has launched, as is CVS. Some 
locations

list 6 to 8 available stores while others offer only two or three. New
locations are added every week, however, so the likelihood of it being
within the reach of most US readers of AccessWorld is excellent.
The Shipt Shopping Experience

Let's first look at the experience from the perspective of a customer 
who
has already created an account and used the service at least once. Let's 
say
we are in an area where Kroger is the primary grocery store. (Those of 
you

who live in areas served by Publix, Meijer, Winn-Dixie, Lucky's Market,
Fresh Market, or a host of others need not worry. Shipt shops at these 
and

other stores as well.)
Waiting for a meeting to begin one morning, I have 15 minutes to spare 
and

open the Shipt app on my iPhone. It immediately shows me my own delivery
address and the next available delivery time from Kroger (usually within 
the
next 90 minutes.) Satisfied with my own delivery address and the 
selected

store, I begin shopping.

A number of quick links appear. The first of these is Buy Again. Others

Produce,

Frozen, Bakery, and Pantry..
Typically, I start my shopping with Buy Again. Here, every item I have
previously purchased will appear. Let's say the first item is 
Blueberries.

Next to the name Blueberries are the words "6 ounces, price $4.69, Open
Product Detail."

Below this item description will be an Add 1 button. To add the item to 
the

cart, simply double tap the Add 1 button. Later, if you change your mind,
removing the item from your list is just as easy as adding it. Continuing
down the list of items previously purchased - milk, bananas, Swiss 
cheese,
and so on - I simply double tap the Add 1 button for any desired items. 
To

learn more about an item, double tap its name, which includes the Open
Product Detail invitation. While not all items have information on this
screen, the majority of products do.

Shop Independently with Shipt: an Accessible App that Brings the
"Store to your Door"
By Deborah Kendrick
American Foundation for the Blind

Consider a few scenarios.
You have just moved into your college dorm and you realize that you
forgot shampoo, your favorite energy bars, sheets for your bed, or
treats for your guide dog.

You're in your dentist's waiting room, and you get a text reminder
that three friends are coming over for dinner and you don't have time
to get the necessary groceries.

You just plain find going to the grocery store complicated and time
consuming and wish someone could do it for you.
The resounding solution to each of these dilemmas could well be a
business called Shipt, a service whose motto is: "We bring the store
to your door."
Imagine shopping on your mobile phone or laptop for everything from
groceries to party decorations to pet food or toilet paper, and
having it at your door in as little as an hour.

What is Shipt?
Shipt Inc. was launched in 2014 by chief executive Bill Smith in
Birmingham, Alabama. In December 2017, the grocery delivery service
company was purchased for $550 million by Target. By the end of 2018,
Shipt.com had a cadre of over 50,000 shoppers nationwide delivering
groceries, pet supplies, household goods and more directly to
customers' doors, saving busy people the time and trouble of cruising
grocery and retail aisles. For those of us

Anker bluetooth keyboards are exceptional. The right size keys for

Subject: Best choice for a bluetooth keyboard



Hi,
I have been considering getting a bluetooth keyboard for a while to
pair with my IPhone 8 just to make typing a bit easier/faster.
Now the usb keyboard I use for my windows pc is starting to fail, so I
think the best solution would be to get a bluetooth keyboard I can use
for both the IPhone and one or more computers.

I have seen discussions about various logitech keyboards and am
wondering which would be the best. I do need a numberpad since I use
JAWS on the windows systems.

I would also like something that is fairly lightweight since I will be
doing some travelling this fall.

  Hi all,
  I can not believe that any of you have not experienced this problem.  Would 
you try it and see what happens to you?  If you have Uber eats, find an 
McDonald's and You can either use the popular choices or find the double 
quarter pounder with cheese.  click on that.  It will take you to the double 
quarter pounder with cheese screen.  Flick right and you will get to a select 
options heading.  If you keep flicking right,it will say required, then the 
first thing after that will say, double quarter with cheese large meal.  It 
will also give the number of calories and the price for that meal.  Double tap 
on that meal.  It is supposed to go to another screen that will allow you to 
choose your drink.  However, it does not.  Instead, it just sits there and does 
nothing.  You can flick right until you get to the, add to cart button and try 
that as well.  It will not allow you to ad it to the cart.  We have tried this 
on two different phones with two different accounts and had the same results.  
We have emailed them and they want to see a screen shot.  No help there.  Let 
us know what your findings are.  You don't have to by anything, just cancel.  
We have been using this app for a long time with no trouble until now.  Thanks 
much for any help.

I'm not sure why some people cannot hear the tones in Voice Dream Scanner,
maybe it is the pitch, or the volume is not high enough, but Voice Dream
Scanner does not need as much height as some apps.
Both apps work fine even in poor lighting.
With Voice OCR, if you gave it permission to use the microphone, you should
be able to say, "capture, and have it take the photo, and then say "read" and
have it recognize the text and read it to you.
Both apps have a button to double tap and if you have the phone roughly as
far above the item, as the item is tall, they should work. Though, as I said,
Voice Dream Scanner can be a little lower.
Perhaps get sighted assistance and have someone say when the document is in

Re: Another Question On Dream Scanner & Voice OCR

2019-07-02 Thread Julie Dawson

I have had a delay when processing with Voice OCR app and cannot find  the 
setting where you set it to voice read or capture picture. With Voice Dream 
Scanner I can never hear the beeps for paper position and I am also wondering 
if it might be my SE phone although other apps work well.

  Good Morning,

  Although I have listened to demos and followed instructions on getting both 
of these scanners to work on my phone, neither work well. I'm a relatively 
intelligent person, I think anyway, so I'm wondering if part of the issue 
couldn't be with my phone. I am updated to the latest IOS, but using an SE 
phone. All of the podcasts and advice I have received has been from people 
using much newer phones.

  Have others using the SE had luck with using these scanners, and if so, any 
advice?

  Thanks.

Re: the right hear app

2019-07-01 Thread Julie Dawson

I don't understand about the purchasing of beacons. Are the beacons then 
accessed through the app or applied to your account somehow?

With thanks,

Do you get some beacons with the app before purchase? It doesn't say in app 
purchases.

Hi everyone.

I presented your questions to my friends at Right Hear.
As Siegert said, the recording and labelling of places works when you
get a GPS accuracy of under eight meters, which means it works best
outside, in the Outdoors mode of the app. This can be useful when you
learn a new route and need to label certain spots. You can record any
text you wish, such as info about intersections you need to cross, the
locations of bus stops, etc.

At the moment, the app works with a specific type of beacon, so it is
best to purchase such beacons through the company. My friend told me a
few beterans in the States have already done this to lable spots in
their own house or workplace. There is a plan to offer support for
more kinds of beacons in the near future, so it is just a matter of
time.
When you purchase beacons, you work through a website to enter the
info you want and they are working all the time to make sure this part
of the website is accessible as well.

In a couple of weeks, they are going to have a few webinars of
questions and answers. I will post the dates and links as soon as I
can. And as I have said before, they love hearing suggestions and
getting feedback. From day one they have had the user's experience in
first priority and that's why I love working with them.

Cheers,
Tali

All you have to do is to double tap on it to record a location. Keep in 
mind

that this only works if your GPS accuracy is at least 8 metres or better,
but it will tell you if it is not.
You can later on double tap and hold the recordings button if you want to
see a list of your recordings/locations.
Looks like this app uses information from Open Street maps which
unfortunately often can be quite outdated. For example, it shows the ???Hill
Top Pub??? which is supposed to be about 400 metres away except that this 
pub

has been closed for about 3 years.
Considering this is a free app which allows for turn by turn navigation to
an address or location as well as providing nearby information and so on
this is a nice app to have for people who don???t want to pay for Seeing Eye

I can see  use for the beacons in an unfamiliar very large environment.
However, if it is a commonly visited place and you have the time and help
you could just go to places within the site and record a label and then 
the

app would recognize it from then on when you visit again.  When I tried it
it actually got me within a few feet if I missed it.  I am considering 
using
it for when I am working in the yard.  I can drop a tool or bag of tools 
or

whatever.  I can then record the label for that location and if I need to
get back to that bag of tools I can rotate the phone until I hear "bag of
tools" or whatever I labeled it and then walk to it.



Since I have taken to using my cane in the yard to avoid the toys and 
other

debris my grandchildren move around getting within a few feet should allow
me to find the item with my cane.



Interesting app indeed.

Since changing my credit card in my itunes account i'm finding that my

I have never used a braille display,  so I hope this question is not too

would be to read books and magazines from BARD and Bookshare. But I would 
think it would become really tedious to read a book with a less than 20-cell 
display, being only able to read three or four words at most, then having to 
have it refresh to read a few more words. Those whom I have asked say the 
main value in these small displays is in their  ability to write braille, or 
maybe to check the spelling of a word. But I surely can buy a bunch of 
bluetooth keyboards for the price of even the cheapest small braille 
display, or I can use Apple Braille Screen input, as I am doing to write 
this message. And, I already know how to get VoiceOver to spell that word. 
If I ever were to get a display, I think it would be at least 32 cells, 
preferably 40, which is the length of a line in a braille book. Those whom I 
know and have asked say that they rarely use even their large displays to 
read books, paper braille is much more satisfactory.  I definitely believe 
there may be something about this subject that I don't know. So, thanks for 
any enlightenment.

  But, if it is a full page of text, and you have a stand like the Fopydo

2 or 3 seconds and take the picture. Assuming of course, auto capture is on.
  Otherwise, if you double tap the capture image, it gets nearly 100

  In Voice Dream Scanner, double tap on menu, then settings, and look for the 
tones toggle and make sure it is on. 
  You no longer need edge detection on since the tone is telling you how much 
text is in view.
  So, the louder the tone the more information it sees.
  Hold it steady when the tone is loudest and if you have auto capture on, it 
will take the picture automatically.

Can you tell me the setting in Voice Dream scanner to enable the tones. I don't 
get tones in either app. Thank you so much. My Voice app has updated 
successfully.

  I am not aware of tones in this app. 
  Voice Dream Scanner uses tones, but Voice OCR uses the phrase, Four Corners

I got the voice to react to my voice saying  "take picture" and read" by 
enabling the microphone and turning the flash on etc. You can either dt to do

  This is an app developed a few years ago by a 15 year-old. I just received 
the following from him and downloaded the app. While it doesn't do all that 
Voice Dream Scanner does, it is quite impressive. Read on and act quickly on 
June 14, 2019.

  Hey Richard,

  I'm really sorry about the bad experience you had with the last version of 
Voice. Four years ago, when I had released the app, I was only 15. 
Unfortunately, since I was still learning programming, the app itself was still 
very buggy and crashed a lot. I tried my best to give you guys the best 
features for free but my programming skills were not good enough at the time. 
As years went by and it was time for me to apply to colleges, I slowly stopped 
being able to support Voice and it slowly stopped working. Over the last year, 
I have received thousands of emails from you guys saying the app is completely 
broken.


  I've got huge news today.  Over the past few months, Voice was completely 
remade from the ground up, with the best and latest technology. The OCR quality 
is spectacular, even on completely distorted, badly focused, and incorrectly 
angled photos with poor lighting. There are new voice control features. You can 
simply say the words "Take Picture" and Voice will take pictures for you. You 
simply say "Read" and Voice will start reading it to you. Voice will give 
extremely accurate field of view reports when it detects a document in front of 
you. It works in over 30 major languages and gives you the most powerful OCR 
reading tools right in your pocket. 

  I have decided to make the app free for only the next 24 hours. After that, 
it will be on the app store for $4.99. I have always wanted to keep this app 
free for you guys, but the problem is that maintaining the app becomes very 
difficult when it is completely free. I would rather give you guys an extremely 
low-cost app that is the absolute best and regularly supported, rather than a 
completely free app that is mediocre and unsupported. Those of you that install 
it while it is free will also get future updates for free. Let your friends 
know so they can also get it while it's free!

  Here's the link: 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/voice-take-picture-have-it/id903772588?mt=8.

  I hope you find this application helpful. I am open to any suggestions and 
feedback, feel free to be as brutal as you like. I will try to respond to your 
email in less than an hour. I plan to bring even more exciting stuff in the 
very near future. Thank you for your time.

That's exactly what I did as well and it reads like a charm. After you enable 
microphone and voice etc. you can either dt to take picture and read or use 
your voice to say "take picture" "read" etc. It works really well and gives the 
percentages on when it is scanning the pictures. I know that Voice Dream 
Scanner you can set to automatic so that it will take the picture and read 
automatically but this app does really well. And for free we get updates.

This is an app developed a few years ago by a 15 year-old. I just received 
the following from him and downloaded the app. While it doesn't do all that 
Voice Dream Scanner does, it is quite impressive. Read on and act quickly on 
June 14, 2019.
Hey Richard,

I'm really sorry about the bad experience you had with the last version of 
Voice. Four years ago, when I had released the app, I was only 15. 
Unfortunately, since I was still learning programming, the app itself was still 
very buggy and crashed a lot. I tried my best to give you guys the best 
features for free but my programming skills were not good enough at the time. 
As years went by and it was time for me to apply to colleges, I slowly stopped 
being able to support Voice and it slowly stopped working. Over the last year, 
I have received thousands of emails from you guys saying the app is completely 
broken.


I've got huge news today.  Over the past few months, Voice was completely 
remade from the ground up, with the best and latest technology. The OCR quality 
is spectacular, even on completely distorted, badly focused, and incorrectly 
angled photos with poor lighting. There are new voice control features. You can 
simply say the words "Take Picture" and Voice will take pictures for you. You 
simply say "Read" and Voice will start reading it to you. Voice will give 
extremely accurate field of view reports when it detects a document in front of 
you. It works in over 30 major languages and gives you the most powerful OCR 
reading tools right in your pocket. 

I have decided to make the app free for only the next 24 hours. After that, 
it will be on the app store for $4.99. I have always wanted to keep this app 
free for you guys, but the problem is that maintaining the app becomes very 
difficult when it is completely free. I would rather give you guys an extremely 
low-cost app that is the absolute best and regularly supported, rather than a 
completely free app that is mediocre and unsupported. Those of you that install 
it while it is free will also get future updates for free. Let your friends 
know so they can also get it while it's free!

Here's the link: 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/voice-take-picture-have-it/id903772588?mt=8.

I hope you find this application helpful. I am open to any suggestions and 
feedback, feel free to be as brutal as you like. I will try to respond to your 
email in less than an hour. I plan to bring even more exciting stuff in the 
very near future. Thank you for your time.

Re: question about changing the setting of entering my passcode when turning on my phone

2019-06-09 Thread Julie Dawson

If you set the phone to never in other words how long you want the screen to 
remain activated you won't have to enter it all of the time. There are 
various minute selections and then a "never" selection which is where mine 
is set. I think it is in the touch ID section.

Hi,
I wrote to Sonos Support and asked if Apple Music will have the same voice 
support that Spotify now enjoys on Sonos. Because someone  on my echoing 
group speculated that because Alexa is a third party app on Sonos it may not 
be available with voice control with Sonos as it will be with Amazon 
devices. I received a very unsatisfactory reply back which basically implied 
that I would have to wait until the seventeenth to find out one way or the 
other unless Apple decided to disclose it first.
I use both Spotify and Apple Music on my Sonos currently because I like 
Spotify better than Amazon Music Unlimited on the Sonos in both quality of 
sound and selection of music on the Sonos One and they both allow me to 
control my music via my voice. My hope is that very soon Apple will also 
allow this on both Sonos and Amazon devices as well.

If there is a skill for Apple Music that is definitely a huge bonus and I'm 
really surprised Amazon is doing this because this. I recently signed up for 
the free Amazon Unlimited trial and was seriously thinking of keeping it 
because of how well it works with my Sonos system, but my wife and I have an 
Apple Music family membership and I certainly won't keep the Amazon 
Unlimited subscription if I can use Alexa to play from my Apple Music 
subscription. I am curious how this may work with family memberships where 
my wife and I both use Apple Music with our own Apple Id's.


I also read recently that you can now or very shortly will be able to add a 
Skype skill and use Alexa to make Skype calls.

Hi Julie,

Here is what I do to edit the name of  afolder (I am using a folder called 
Home Automation as my example:
1. I find the folder for which I want to edit the name, Home Automation in 
my example, and now I flick up or down to Edit Mode and double tap (just 
as if I wanted to move an app)
2. Voiceover will say "Started Editing", now I flick up to Activate and 
double tap
3. You hear the folder opening sound and Voiceover will say "Folder Name, 
Home Automation, text Field"
4. Double tap and Voiceover will say "Folder name, text field is 
editing,Home Automation, insertion point at end"
5. You now have the keyboard on the screen, you can double tap in the text 
field to move to the beginning, move backwards or forward by whatever 
movement unit you set on the rotor, you can backspace and type and there 
is a "Clear All" button one swipe to the right of the edit field.
6. After you finish editing the name just double tap the "Done" button at 
the bottom right of the keyboard.


You can also get to where you can edit the folder another way like this:
1. Double tap the folder to open it
2. Put focus on the first app in the folder or actually on any app if you 
want.
3. Swipe up or down to "Edit Mode" and double tap, Voiceover will say 
"started editing"
4. Swipe left until you get to the folder name, using my example it will 
now say "Home Automation, text field", same as in step 3 above.
4. You can now double tap to start editing the text field and continue 
with step 5 and 6 above.


I find the first method easier, instead of first opening the folder, 
starting editing mode on one of the apps and moving back to the folder 
name you simply do 4 simple gestures:
Swipe up, double tap, swipe up, double tap then double tap one last time 
and you are where you can edit the name.


Regards,
Sieghard

"I have noticed in reading news articles and seeing reports on TV that in

The front camera turns on to record video of the occurrence.
"When dealing with being pulled over and interacting with law enforcement,
you want as little distraction as possible, and that includes music, 
bright
screens and notifications coming in," Petersen said. "You want to be 
focused

on the encounter at hand and don't want any unnecessary distraction to
yourself or to law enforcement personnel."
Once users stop the recording, a copy of the video is sent to a specified
contact, the brightness returns to normal, and Do Not Disturb is disabled,
Petersen said.
While this application comes at a time when police surveillance is a hot
topic, Shortcuts isn't the first app to help document encounters with
police.
In 2017, the American Civil Liberties Union released an Android app called
"ACLU Blue" that allows people to record law enforcement and share those
recordings in a public forum. Another app in the Google Play store called
"I'm Getting Arrested!"  enables anyone, with one click, to broadcast a
custom alert message in the event they are arrested, and there are several
others.
While he's proud of his creation, Petersen said he would be happy if no 
one

ever needs to use it.
"My only goal with the Police shortcut is trying to help people stay safe 
.
and honest," he said. "99.999 percent of the time you'll never need it, 
but
if you end up in a situation where it ended up being a good idea, you'll 
be

thankful you did."
