Re: Looking for accessible GPS App

[Kerri Kosten]

But with the app you mentioned Tom you have to get assistance from a
sighted person to set up the route? I don't have any sighted people
around to help me.

Hello list,
I haven't been posting lately, but I have recently begun having difficulty with 
office apps. I am new at using Office Mobile apps; I especially am having a 
hard time with Excel. My knowledge of excel worksheet layouts helps me to know 
that I can navigate by row and column by either swiping or exploring the screen 
with one finger; however, upon researching the Office Accessibility help 
section, it says that I should one-finger double tap the cell I want to work on 
to select the cell, then double-tap with one finger again to open the on-screen 
keyboard for editing. I can successfully edit one cell, but, when I move to 
another cell, I one-finger double tap, it ts successfully, but when I 
one-finger double tap again, it doesn't let me edit the cell, it stays in the 
first cell, and I end up editing the text in the first cell, which was fine the 
first way that I had it, and was not wanting to edit that cell again. Then, I 
start to  try to dictate, the dictation stops itself and kicks me completely 
out of the app and to the home screen. I'm pretty unfamiliar with the mobile 
app's layout, such as how to use the ribbons and other controls that are there. 
I think I might need some training because of how unfamiliar I am. But, I 
thought I'd get some help here first, from the very basics of navigating from 
row to row, I'm ok at column navigation, but I don't see a rotor option for 
rows, maybe I have missed it.
Anyway, short story of it is, I need major help understanding mobile excel. :) 
By the way, I am using Office 365 and IOS 12.0.1. And, a very short unrelated 
note, I am also having problems with my pc version freezing and not saving 
data, and can't save a sheet to save my life. lol

Re: Trouble With Uber App

Hi.
  I am a huge Uber user and haven't tried lyft yet actually. I wish I knew
more of what to say. The only thing I can think of is contact support. I
know you can't call but maybe try doing it through the website. When I got
my new  phone last year I signed in perfectly fine  with no problems. Sorry
I can't help more.

Re: Questions about Uber

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi.  i  use Uber all the time and absolutely love it. You can sign up for
an account right through the app no need to go to any websites. Just
wondering what do you mean right now they face a real threat? Like do you
see them completely  going away? Here in Morgantown they are really really
popular  with the college students.

Using braille sense as a braille display with more than 1 IDevice

[Kerri Stovall]

Hey listers, gotta quick question. It's my understanding, and correct me if 
not, that you can easily switch between IPAD, IPHONE, and other iDevices, using 
your braille sense as a display. I have been successful at using my braille 
sense with both iPad and iPhone, but I have been having the hardest time 
switching between the two. I don't mean at the same time, but sometimes I like 
using my iPad, and sometimes for other situations I'll use it for my phone. So, 
after using it with my iPad today, I decided to switch devices and use my 
phone, so when I ended the terminal session on my notetaker, and started a new 
session and went to connect it using my phone, it kept giving me the error, 
connection unsuccessful, and the whole, make sure it's turned on and in range, 
bit. I tried rebooting both phone and sense notetaker, and the only way I 
finally got my phone connected again, was by actually going in and pairing it 
with my braille sense in the bluetooth manager, which I could have sworn the 
help file said you don't have to do, that it should just find it. So, what am I 
missing?

Update on facebook texting

[Kerri Stovall]

Hi all,
Well, I wrote the other day, and for some reason, I've been having problems 
reading the list messages I've been receiving, so I'm not sure if anyone 
responded on the topic I sent a message about last week regarding my problem 
with getting texts from fb even though I had it set up. Well, I saw that my 
husband is still receiving them just fine, and we're on a mobile share plan, so 
still not receiving them is strange. I compared my settings on fb and in both 
of our phones, and they're all the same. So, if it's not the carrier, then it 
couldn't be fb unless I have a hidden setting somewhere that I'm not aware of. 
I'm trying to think of things I've changed or thisings that may have changed 
when it stopped, but  nothing is coming to mind. Any more ideas and suggestions 
would be great! 
Kerri

Facebook and sms notifications

[Kerri Stovall]

Hi list,
If this has been discussed before, please point me to the post. Anyway, I have 
not been receiving texts about comments, messages, requests, birthdays, or 
events, that I have made sure to check. Everything is checked in the 
appropriate settings, and all is well in my settings app on the phone. So I'm 
not sure what to do. Also, when I check into somewhere, all I see is, where are 
you, but it's searching constantly. I have also made sure that location 
services are on. What could be the problem here? Regardthe the text 
notifications,  I have reported the problem so maybe I'll get  something back. 
Also, I have the ability to post sms status updates, but when someone comments 
back, I have to go into fb to check for the comments. So, any help would be 
greatly appreciated. I have removed my number twice as the facebook help center 
article suggests, to no avail. Thanks for any suggestions or tips you may have.

Alarm Clock options?

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi Everyone:
Instead of the Iphone default ringtone for my alarm, I think I need
the alarm to be top 40 music to wake me up.
Is there an app or something where I could set it to wake me up with a
top 40 station?
Is there any way to set the Iphone alarm to play the Top Pop station
in Apple music instead of the ringtone?
I looked in the Iheart radio app and there is an alarm there but you
have to apparently leave the app open all night in order for the alarm
to go off.
Are there any apps where you can close the app and the alarm will still go off?
I looked in the Pandora radio app and there doesn't seem to be an alarm...
The problem is with the Iphohnes alarm I just roll over and turn it
off...I feel like if a station like Top Hits or Top Pop or something
like that would play that would wake me up more...any options?
Thanks,
Kerri

Re: Facebook Live?

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi Everyone:
Thanks for all the responses.
Periscope is a live streaming app. You can find it in the app store.
I have found tons and tons of live streams. I mainly watch individuals
just chatting or individuals attending sporting events or concerts. It
is an app where you can broadcast what you are doing. People can watch
and give you comments and hearts. I love Periscope because I can put
on a broadcast and even though I am in my house I feel like I am with
the person and not alone in my house.
Lots of news sources periscope such as BBC, Steve Harvey, Good morning
America, the Today show, TMZ used to...just search for your favorite
broadcaster or newscaster or news source and I am sure they are on
there.
It's a really awesome app!
As for Facebook Live, I will have to just keep waiting and see when
the new features roll out to me.
Kerri

Facebook Live?

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi Everyone:
I love watching live streams and have been a huge fan of the Periscope
app since I discovered it last year.
Back on April 6, Facebook held a newsconference and put out a press
release saying they were going to be rolling out all kinds of new
features for Facebook Live.
I was so excited about the new features. Apparently you will get
alerted when people go live. There will be a new live tab where you
can explore current live streams that are going on across the world.
You can go live in groups and events so your live broadcast can be
seen by people in a certain group or event. You can invite friends to
view your live broadcast.
I was so so so excited. I love Periscope so I thought awesome with the
new live features I can watch all kinds of live streams.
This was back on April 6.
I still haven't gotten these new features yet.
I see no live tab. I don't get any alerts when people go live.
Does anyone have this new feature yet? How did you know when you got
it? Where is the new live tab located?
Is Facebook still rolling this out?
Since the April 6 announcement, there have been two updates to the
Facebook app and I have updated both times hoping the new update will
contain the new live features.
Anyone know what is going on? For those of you who have these new
features how did you know when you got them?
Sorry if this message seems strange. I was just so excited about these
new live features and I haven't gotten them. I also keep seeing how
tons of people are live streaming with these new features and I feel
like  I am missing out!
Thanks,
Kerri

Re: iOS Native Twitter App Now Supports Moments, Via VoiceOver

[Kerri Kosten]

Mark:
I am so excited about this.
I am wondering though how you went about first getting the Twitter
developers attention to this problem, and then next convincing them to
fix this.
I really wish the Snapchat app would become more accessible because
Snapchat is becoming hugely popular and is now being used for
communication purposes.
Did the Twitter developers just pay attention to  the review you
posted of their app in the ITunes app store?
Did you take any other steps to alert them or anything?
I am asking all of this because I want to try to do a similar thing
with Snapchat and get them to make Snapchat accessible.
I am so excited about moments though!!! I can finally now really clean
out my Twitter follow list and now I can follow top stories without
having to follow tons of people!!
Thanks so much Mark!!

Re: Please Join Me in Requesting That a Significant VoiceOver and iOS Twitter App Bug Be Resolved

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi:
I also would like to send a bug report to twitter asking them to fix
this issue. In fact, I was excitedly going to look at the moments from
the Super Bowl game yesterday, and upon opening the Iphone app using
Voiceover couldn't find the moments tab anywhere. Twitter needs to
address this asap as moments are indeed an important way to follow
events from around the world. And, they even have categories such as
entertainment and sports.
My question is how do I submit a bug report similar to the one you submitted?
Did you just go to the twitter app in the app store, hit the reviews
tab, and tapped on the "write review" button and put your text in a
review?
Or is there an actual "bug report" button?
I'd also like to send a similar report to Snapchat asking them to make
their app accessible as it's extremely popular and it makes me very
angry that we are left out of enjoying the videos and pictures on that
very popular app.
Thanks,
Kerri

Re: why audible?

Hi, there:

I find that at least for us in Canada, Audible has books that bookstore does 
not have and the quality is amazing as well on the iPhone. Like Sighard, I do 
not use my stream hardly at all any more.

Is it still being updated and maintained and everything? Is it still usable?
Should I uninstall Goggles and install Ipolly instead?
I also have VizWiz...is that app still usable?

Re: apple TV or google chromecast?Apple TV or Google Chromecast?

No, it depends on a phone app as it is not accessible by itself. Also, if you

strange sluggish iPhone issue

[Kerri G]

Hi, all. I was using drop box with my iPhone 5S. After that, it became 
incredibly sluggish but I thought nothing of it, turned it off then back on 
again. I used drop box again, the same thing happened only this time the phone 
is so bad I cannot even enter the pass code to unlock the phone. Now the phone 
says “I[hone disabled” and I cannot even hold the power and home buttons 
simultaneously as it says to try this in 5 mints. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: apple tv 4th generation thoughts

[Kerri G]

Hello. I have owned this 4 generation tv for 2 weeks and here are my thoughts. 
The remote is sensitive but yet I find it unresponsive in areas like the app 
switcher for example. The other issue I find is apps--I site ABC news--is not 
as clearly laid out as it is in the apple TV third generation. For example in 
this app if you want the show 20/20, this app does not specify but states 1 of 
10 in a given area of the app. I also think as others have stated that it is 
expensive for how much like  a beta it feels. but it is good and it hopefully 
will improve.

Re: Apple TV Questions

[Kerri G]

I found the CBC news app but not the CBC tv app. There is a difference. On CBC 
TV, you can get shows like dock zone, rick Merser report etc but the news only 
has news.
Your real life is what goes on inside you, not the circumstances that go on 
around you.

Re: Temporary fix for netflix audio description on the 4th gen apple TV

[Kerri G]

I do have an iqnurey though. I share the net fix account with my parents who 
live upstairs in another apartment. If I enable audio description, would they 
be stuck with it or can it be disabled for them but enabled for Arlene, my 
blind room mate and I?

yes that is right because it showed up at 7 pm pacific. Please try this again

Re: seeking help with CBC news app

[Kerri G]

Hi, Sighard:

First of all, I certainly did contact CBC complaining of this issue. Below, 
please find the steps to the news.
1. With the app launched, ensure BC is set in the sections section.
2. Scroll past the items in the news you can read, you will see photos section, 
then British Columbia videos.
3. If it works, you will see news with Andrew Chang at 6:00 pm

I am not receiving this, only The national live. The odd thing is that the 
local Vancouver news I want is available at 7 pm, right after the live 
broadcast finishes but this didn’t happen until a couple days ago.

seeking help with CBC news app

[Kerri G]

Hi, folks, we do not have a cable subscription so we watch our local Vancouver 
news via the CBC news app on the iPad. It worked fine until IOS 9.1 came out. 
Before, we could see the link for our local news but now we do not see it until 
after the news has been broadcast. Are we doing something wrong? I have 
uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, checked notifications, tried to find help 
on CBC site, all to no avail. thanks for any help.
Dogs have owners; cats have staff.

Re: New bug in 9.02 update typing echo seems to be broken

I have the typing echo bug too.

Re: Beware, Wi-Fi Assist

[Kerri G]

I forgot about it and I do not have a data plan unfortunately. Anyway, it’s 
ridiculous to assume that Apple enabled this feature by default just to be in 
bed with phone companies. Yes, I read that somewhere.

"Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its 
vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It 
causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to

Re: data usage with new phone

[Kerri G]

I can tell you how that happened.

There is a new feature called Wifi assist in the cellular  feature in settings. 
Slide this feature to off and that should cause this to cease.

Re: Possible Bug in IOS 9/rotor problem

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi Everyone:
I have bad news.
I updated to 9.01 this morning. I closed all my running apps, turned
my phone off for a few minutes, and turned it back on. I even turned
Voiceover off and back on.
I am still having the same problem.
Should I report? I was really hoping this would be fixed in 9.1.
I wonder why some of us have it and some of us don't if we are all
using Voiceover?
Thanks,
Kerri

Possible Bug in IOS 9/rotor problem

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi Everyone:
Ever since updating to IOS 9, I am having a problem regarding the
rotor and I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong or if this is a
bug.
It used to be if I set the rotor to say words I could go into any app
and read by words.
Now when I set the rotor to words and then go into a text message and
try to edit it the rotor keeps going back to characters. Even if I try
to put it back on words it keeps going back to characters and it's
really annoying because I like to edit my messages going through word
by word instead of character by character.
Is anyone else having this problem/experiencing this?
Is there a setting or something new in IOS 9 I need to change or
switch to keep the rotor from going to character mode when I set it to
words?
Thanks,
Kerri

[Kerri G]

want to hear from any longer so thought I could block them from the get go.

Re: iOS 9.01 is out

thanks, got it at a restaurant I was eating in and it went fine.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the

Re: notifications not reading in IOS 9.

[Kerri G]

I have this bug as well. I also have a strange one in which the voice over does 
not read the incoming caller’s number all the time.

I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of 
friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make
life a lot more fun.

Yes, I felt the vibrations both in the iPhone 5S  and in the iPad mini so I

Re: Updating to IOS 9... phone is a brick!!! Help!

[Kerri G]

I tried to upgrade via iTunes but it never did work.  
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my 
power is
  made perfect in weakness."  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly
  about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

 Absolutely. Having had a 6 Plus for a year, I'd never go back to a smaller
 phone now. Braille screen input on it is a joy, but the clincher for me is
 battery life. A bigger phone means they can put a bigger battery in there,
 and I can now do energy-intensive things all day without worrying about
 being out of juice.

Re: Apple unvails newest iPhone, iPad pro, apple watch and apple TV in the event

yes, it will be accessible. Though they did not specify this in the conference, 
if they weren’t accessible, consider the fall out.

Re: big day at Apple?

[Kerri G]

Same here but who cares, let’s get on tot he news of apple instead of wrangling 
over list manners.
gto me, too much hype was placed on the iPad pro, not enough attention to the 
iPad mini. While I realize that people prefer larger, that doesn’t mean bigger 
is always better.
  A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in 
the spirit.

Re: big day at Apple?

[Kerri G]

I watched it with apple tv and it was easily accessed. I like the new apple TV, 
especially the remote, that has been badly in need of an update for years and 
I’ve only had the Apple TV a little over a year.
The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating than the sudden jolt of 
misfortune.

Re: A Braille Smart Watch?

I think, Devin that you are right when it comes to having companies contact 
blind people but wrong to state that companies are stupid. Do I think their is 
a market for such devices, maybe, especially for those who like me, love 
Braille. However, even I, the Braille addict cannot justify purchasing one of 
these things.

Still further, for my 3 cents worth, which you are also getting for free, grin, 
if you are navigating with your guide dog or cane, you have to stop, put the 
harness or cane in the other hand and read your smart watch, this is one time I 
prefer siri or Talk back or voice over.

Re: Do you use ATM to cash your money?

I have experienced this as well. The volume is so low that with back ground 
noise, it is hard to hear it.
  Romans, 8:1 and 2. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are 
in Christ
  Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free 
from the law of sin and
  death.

using a Braille Sense with an Ipad mini

[Kerri Stovall]

Hi all, I have been having the hardest time getting my Braille Sense to connect 
to my iPad mini. I had ios 8.2 on it, and it wouldn't connect, it kept getting 
the error, "Braille sense is not supported." When I updated to 8.4 to try it 
out and see how I like it before updating my iphone, it still wouldn't connect 
and still says, "Braille sense is not supported." Am I not doing something 
right, or is the braille sense really not supported on the mini? I even got one 
error message that was a little different that said, "Please make sure Braille 
Sense is turned on and ready to pair," or something very similar to that. So, 
given that I have received 2 errors, I figure it may not be that the braille 
sense is not truly supported, but maybe it's just not seeing it. It asks for my 
pin code correctly and all, but after that, it doesn't recognize the pairing 
and gives me those errors. How can I rectify this? My apple keyboard is the 
only thing I can use with it right now, being that I can't pair my braille 
sense. Does it matter at all that I also have my braille sense paired with my 
iphone too? Do I have to unpair or forget it on my phone before it will work 
with my iPad? I even turned off bluetooth on my phone to see if it would help 
my Ipad recognize it, but that didn't seem to do anything.
Thanks all, Kerri

Re: Siri seems to have dementia

[Kerri G]

Hello. Yes, I just asked her what is the attitude of Madison wisconsin and it 
took me  attempts to get her to figure it out. I’ve also had issue where I 
asked for a phone number and she said “I seem to have cut you off” and I had to 
repeat the question.

amazing, something actually works here, think I’ll give it a try then.

A Question About Apple Music

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi Everyone:
I excitedly signed up for Apple Music.
However, there is something I can't seem to figure out and so have a
question in case I am doing something wrong.
My question is is there a way to find a list of playlists either by
jaunra or mood?
I don't like the recommendations Apple picked for me under the for you tab.
I'd like to be able to look at playlists under the pop jaunra or by
mood such as chill out, work out, or something like that.
Or, maybe a playlist of the most streamed tracks...is there any way to
find other playlists besides just the ones Apple picks for you
initially?
Thanks,
Kerri

Ibooks Questions!

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi Everyone!!
There are a few books on Ibooks/Kindle that I want to read that aren't
available on Bookshare or BARD. My problem though is I hate reading
books/novels with the voiceover voice. Is there any other way to read
Ibooks/kindle books besides with standard Voiceover? Is there any way
to read them on the PC? Can Kindle books be read on the PC using your
screenreader? I don't mind reading with the eloquence voice...just not
the voiceover voice.
Thanks!!
Kerri
