Re: seeking tutorial
Thanks, Michael.
Also, thank you for including a Table of Contents in your book. I have
the ePub version of a book on IOS 17 by another author and, apparently,
there's noTOC which I find very unusual in a non-fiction title.
The rumors about IOS 18 sound like it could be very interesting.

Sooner if I can manage that.

Re: Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms
Hi, Michael:
on Amazon.com, I found a case for the Anker GAN Prime733 that you
mentioned, but nothing for the device itself. There were Anker numbers
for power banks close to 733, but no Anker GAN Prime733. Did I just
miss it? Is there a new model? I'm in the U. S.
Many thanks,

I certainly wouldn't leave my Energrid power bank plugged in all the
time. However, the Anker 733 is designed for that and stops charging the
battery as soon as it's full. It doesn't even get warm. The only thing
it won't do is act as an uninterruptable power supply. You'd have to
push a small button to engage the battery if power failed.

Hi Michael,
I wouldn't leave your power bank plugged in 24 / 7, it could cause
premature failure being that if it loses just a little bit of charge
it's constantly recharging. I normally check my power bank every so
often and I won't charge it until it needs it, or we need to go
somewhere and I want to make sure it's fully charged.

Hello Margaret. I've really come to appreciate the Anker GAN Prime
733 which combines a 1 MAH power bank and wall charger in one
handy device. I leave it plugged in all of the time so I know it'll
be full when I need it. It has folding plug prongs which let you
plug it directly into the wall socket or power bar. It has two USB C
ports and a USB A port. You'd also need a Lightning to USBC cable
which Anker makes.
I also have a 2 MAH battery from Energrid. It gives audio beep
feedback and vibrates to let you know when something's connected or
when it's charging. Between those two batteries, I know I'm covered
for a good eight or nine full iPhone charges. That'll see me through
around three or four days. More if I'm conservative.
If you're worried about longer spans of time, there are much bigger
power banks. The two batteries I have are very portable and both
will easily fit in a shoulderbag. Besides the USBC to Lightning
cable, I would also suggest you get a spare USB C to USB C cable.
That may be useful for other accessories like USB headsets,
emergency radios or Bluetooth keyboards. You can always charge other
power banks while you have electricity using the ports in the 733
charger. Hope that helps a bit. Amazon has a slight discount here in
Canada on a number of Anker products. Doubtless, this is true in the
US also. There are a very wide range of other bands and you'll
hopefully hear from people more experienced with those as well.

The effect of this would require you to double tap faster in order for it to register. Go to Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, and double tap time-out witch will be near the bottom of the screen.

Re: Siri and iOS 17 problem
Hi, Alan: Thank you. Mine was set the same as yours and someone on another list with the same phone as mine made the same amount of change you did and got some improved results. So, I did the same and incremented from .25 to .3 and, so far, things are better. I'll play with it more if need be. Margaret On 11/23/2023 5:43 PM, Alan Lemly wrote: Hi Margaret, I seem to recall folks posting after the release of iOS 17 that the double tap time-out setting was changed to lower the speed needed to execute a double tap. The effect of this would require you to double tap faster in order for it to register. Go to Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, and double tap time-out witch will be near the bottom of the screen. Mine was currently set to .25 seconds and I executed the increment button to make it .3 seconds which I like better since I don't have to double tap quite as fast. Play around with that setting to see if it helps you. Good luck. Alan Lemly Sent from my iPhone On Nov 23, 2023, at 4:17 PM, Margaret Thomas wrote: Hi, Alan: Thank you. I got Hey Siri back.

Power Bank Etc. For iPhone and Storms
Hi, All: Could someone recommend a power bank or something similar to use with my iPhone SE 2020 (SE 2) for power outages from storms etc.? I am not a techie and sighted assistance is normally not available. So, Be My Eyes etc. would have to be called upon for something visual. I recently heard about some models from Energrid that are supposed to be portable and accessible sold by Atguys, which I've heard about, but have never dealt with. I've heard about Anker products recommended many times on lists and I have an Amazon gift certificate. The iPhone is my only Apple product, but if there is some way I could also connect either my Victor Reader Stream 2 or VRS 3, that would be great.

Re: CVS Pharmacy Spoken Rx for iOS and Android
Hi, Chris and All: I received a Spoken RX device some time ago and had problems with it and thought I would try out the CBS app on my iPhone SE 2020. I clicked on the link on my Windows 10 Pro and JAWS 2021 you gave to try to find out more and it seems that one now needs a YouTube account. Is this correct?

The day after I posted the podcast transcription to the group, I went to my favorite local CVS pharmacy and informed the head pharmacist that I wanted to be enrolled in the Spoken Rx program. He told me that he had attended the training sessions on this and that he would enroll me in the program. I was heartened to learn that two other CVS customers had also recently made such a request. A couple of days later, I received an SMS that my prescription starting with the letter "S" was ready for pickup. This baffled me as SMS notifications always include the first 3 letters of a medication name, not just one. When I arrived at the store, I was told that the Spoken Rx reader had arrived and was ready for pickup. This surprised me as my pharmacist and I had already discussed the fact that I would be using my iPhone to read the prescriptions. Be that as it may, given that it would cause a bit of a pain for him to return the reader, I accepted the reader. Now, at this point both he and I are under the impression that he is to receive some kind of tags that he and his team can affix to my meds in order that either the CVS app or the dedicated reader can voice. Is this correct? He is still waiting on some feedback from his regional manager as to how to proceed. As for me, I am just wondering if an actual special tag is required in order to hear the medication info. One thing I learned from my pharmacist, and had confirmed by a pharmacist at a neighboring location, is that not everything CVS advertises is as accurate as the CVS public relations department would have you believe.

Spoken RX Station Questions
Hi, All: The recent thread about the CBS Spoken RX reminded me that I ran into a stumbling block with my station some time back. I got it to spell, but I can't get it to spell anything but my name. Also, I can't get it out of spell mode. I took out the batteries and put them in again after a couple of minutes. I did not completely replace them since I had just gotten it to spell when it said low battery and I put in new batteries. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get it out of spell mode? Also, if I can get it out of spell mode and it will spell the name of the prescription, is there a way of getting it to say something like Beta for the letter b, Charlie for the letter c etc? With my bad hearing, several letters and numbers sound alike. I got an iPhone after I received the Spoken RX station and was wondering if the app will say Beta etc.?

I just turned the phone off and back on again and started composing a text to myself and there were other texts from me to me on the screen. I swiped right to get to text field and it said the usual text field double tap to edit and that darned form of the word mentions. I don't know why I have it in the rotor and no one else does.

Re: HOw to delete more than one at a time?
Chris, I had also been wondering how to do this, but am running into a problem. I double tapped on delete and double tapped on the this will delete 2 messages, which was what I wanted, but it only deleted the first one. I'm not in a standard situation since I don't get a lot of texts and I text myself to practice and Verizon seems to call them iMessages or iCloud messages and I don't know if that is making a difference. When I tried, I had 2 messages I sent myself to myself and one from Verizon and I wanted to delete the 2 I sent myself. There was no cancel button after I double tapped on the second do you really want to button. Thank you, Margaret I'm running IOS 16.1.2 on an iPhone SE 2.

Re: Getting Weather Widget Back On iPhone Home Screen
Hi, All: Thank you all. I had a couple of misadventures and it was not elegant, but I now have only 1 widget all by its lonesome and not in a stack on the first page of my home screen. I couldn't get instructions that I understood would remove individual items in a stack without removing the whole stack to work for me. I threw in the towel for now and removed the whole stack and added the widget on the home screen I wanted. I'd think it should be straight forward and not getting it bugs me, but, for now, I'm going to move on to something else with the phone.

Oh, and I am in the United States and currently using an iPhone 12 Mini and an iPhone 13 Mini with iOS 16.0.3, if that makes a difference. Unless I’ve missed it, I’m kind of surprised that no one has mentioned this widget thing before you started mentioning it a month or so ago. Since I like to keep all my apps in alphabetical order, when I had gotten some of them out of order a few months ago and then reset my home screen, I was surprised to find those stacked widgets as the first things at the top of my home screen. But since resetting the home screen again only brought them back, I just decided to live with them. When I read your question earlier today, I started looking around again, as since I had decided to live with the widgets, I also wanted the weather to show up first and then the calendar to show up when I did the one finger flick to the right. Thus, it kind of looks like if I double tap and then hold on the weather icon at the top of the screen, then wait to hear the sound to indicate that a context menu has shown up, then flick left and right with one finger till I hear edit stack, then double tap on that edit stack button, then put my finger down towards the bottom of the screen and find the smart rotate button, then double tap on it to turn it off, then find the done button in the upper right corner of the screen, and then double tap on that done button to save the change, weather and calendar should stay constant there and not change to maps or photos or whatever Apple thinks I want to see at the time. The only way I can figure to get the weather icon back on the first page is to delete the widget stack, which it kind of sounds like you already did, and then move the icon back to the first page, so I’ll try the steps from the beginning with the widgets intact and see what happens. I once again put my finger on the weather icon on the first page, then I double tap and hold on that icon till I hear the sound, then I flick left and right till I find the remove stack button, then I double tap on that remove stack button, then I flick to the right to the remove button when prompted to confirm, and then I double tap on that remove button. Now to get the weather icon back on the first page, keeping in mind that that will then reorder the placement of the rest of the apps. From the first page on the home screen, I do a three finger swipe to the left to bring up the second page, then I put my finger on the weather icon on the top left of that second page, then I flick down with one finger and hear edit mode, then I double tap and hear started editing, then I put my finger on the weather icon again, then I flick up with one finger until I hear drag weather, then I double tap on the drag weather, then I hear find my as that is the next app on the page, but I flick right with three fingers to get back to the first home screen, then I find facetime in the upper left of the home screen, then I flick down with one finger until I hear drop weather before facetime, then I double tap on that drop weather before facetime, then I hear drop co

Re: Getting Weather Widget Back On iPhone Home Screen
I did some more web searches and one from Hadley that the "transcript" was just a sample, but it gave me a hint that I tried with "VoiceOver Quiz and Answers: Rita's iDevice Advice for December 27, 2021" that I mentioned. I have partial success. I once again have a weather widget, but, unfortunately, it's on page 2 of the home screen and not on page 1 where it's more convenient. I was wondering if I can manage to get it on page 1 if I can remove the one on page2 or should I remove the one on page 2 and try again to get it on page 1?

When I got the phone home from the Verizon store, it said Cupertino and the weather there and not my town and weather in the status bar that was very annoying. Several days later, I asked my computer tech who was here for something else if he could turn off raise to tap and he did and my town and weather were magically in the status bar instead of Cupertino when I looked at the phone when he left. Maybe he changed it which was helpful, but I have no idea what he did, so I hadn't a clue about how to add a widget to the home screen. Somehow, in my various phone misadventures, I inadvertently added maps and photos under the weather widget and had a stack. At this stage, I have almost no need of either of these two and thought I could remove them from the stack and keep the very important weather widget. I read a bunch of old posts and listened to a podcast by Thomas Domville on "How to add, remove, and customize widgets in iOS" on Applevis, but only found how to rearrange items in a stack and how to remove a stack.

Getting Weather Widget Back On iPhone Home Screen
Good Evening, All: I thought maybe I had reached enough of need to know on the learning curve for my SE 2 that I could try a little want to know or curious about things with the phone and had heard weather widget stack so many times on my status bar that I decided to try to investigate widgets. When I got the phone home from the Verizon store, it said Cupertino and the weather there and not my town and weather in the status bar that was very annoying. Several days later, I asked my computer tech who was here for something else if he could turn off raise to tap and he did and my town and weather were magically in the status bar instead of Cupertino when I looked at the phone when he left. Maybe he changed it which was helpful, but I have no idea what he did, so I hadn't a clue about how to add a widget to the home screen. Somehow, in my various phone misadventures, I inadvertently added maps and photos under the weather widget and had a stack. At this stage, I have almost no need of either of these two and thought I could remove them from the stack and keep the very important weather widget. I read a bunch of old posts and listened to a podcast by Thomas Domville on "How to add, remove, and customize widgets in iOS" on Applevis, but only found how to rearrange items in a stack and how to remove a stack. I tried removing one of the widgets I didn't want and probably didn't get far enough along to find a do you really want to delete this widget and landed on delete stack instead. an old post VoiceOver Quiz and Answers: Rita's iDevice Advice for December 27, 2021 "51. What are Widgets and how do you add them to any screen of apps on your iPhone? Answer: How to Add Widgets to Your Home Screen. The extra widget options you can add to your Home screen. Adding these can range from fun, such as adding featured photos, to useful, such as having the weather front and center for your daily planning. Note: These instructions were written for sighted persons, who are not using voiceOver. If you are using VoiceOver: when the instructions say "Tap on an item", perform a one finger double tap. 1.

Re: Containers And iPhone Weather App
Hi, All: Good news is that I got containers added to the rotor. What worked for me was: settings, accessibility, voice over, then rotor, then select containers The middling news is that I still can't hear moon phase in the bunch of "extras" like pressure in either the native weather app or weather as a widget. Siri does give it when verbally asked, so that is something. The "extras" give rising or falling for the pressure and that was a good portion of my original question . They include just about everything I normally want to know about local weather except for moon phase, so I'm good.

So I don't know if they still have it or not. I don't know anything about containers so can't help with that. If you do find that setting and put it in the rotor and don't like where it is you can reorder items in the rotor to put the most important things first. There are a whole bunch of things you can put in the rotor, maybe thirty or forty of them but it's probably best not to clutter the rotor up with too many things like you wouldn't want to have too many things on your desktop in your pc if you have one. hth Marda On 10/5/2022 4:01 PM, Margaret Thomas wrote: Hi, All: I can get Siri to give me the barometric pressure by verbally asking, but doesn't say if the pressure is rising or falling.

Re: Can I Use Touch ID Instead of Pass Code
Thank you.
It's normal state is powered off and I might use it 3 times a day, but
don't always use it every day.
When it was new and before I set locked to never, I could unlock it by
pressing the home button. Is locked supposed to be so the screen can't
inadvertently be changed rather than for keeping unauthorized people
out, or is it a sort of sleep thing where the battery isn't being used
at 100% capacity? If it is on and the battery is only slowly draining
and I can press the home button and not have to do the Pass Code, it
might be a solution. I think locked has something to do with
inactivity, but it is only for occasional use and is not my primary phone.
Any help is much appreciated.

You have to remember that just as you described, the passcode is required when
you turn your phone off and back on. Each time you restart the phone you have
to enter your passcode, the same goes if you try Touch I d and after a certain
number of attempts it doesn't recognize your fingerprint, it will then ask for
the passcode to authenticate and unlock the phone.
I don't know if you turn your phone often, but really you shouldn't. iPhones
are designed to be on all the time and the don't have to be shut down at all.
From time to time you may end up having to turn it off and back on if you have
strange issues or of course there could be a time when you simply run out of
battery and the phone turns itself off, but I literally go weeks and sometimes
months without turning my phone off and back on and the only time I have to put
in my passcode is when for some reason Face Id isn't working a few times one
attempt after another (same goes for Touch Id) or for some other strange
reason. But typically I again often go days without having to enter my passcode
manually.

When I power up, it says Pass Code is required when phone starts up. My memory

Re: Playing with the camera app
Yes, this is my first time with the camera app itself. I tried the Seeing AI app for the first time the other day when I had a bill that Open Book did not read well and I thought might be mainly handwritten. I was able to get the total amount of the bill from it, but only got 1 column out of 5 that a friend said were there after my initial attempt. I'm going to work more with Seeing AI and it could well just be my inexperience that didn't give me more of the bill. Do you have any idea what the drag the shutter to the left for (word I couldn't make out) might be about? Thanks for telling me how to shut it up.

Long lost iPhone 6S has finally resurfaced after snow melt Hi everybody, Finally, here is the long awaited last chatper of my lost iPhone story. yesterday the package with my iPhone 6S packed in rice arrived. Externally it looks brand new with not a scratch on it. When I took out the SIM tray it seemed like there was maybe a bit of moisture there so I left out the SIM tray and stuck the iPhone in my toaster oven on a really low temperature for a couple of hours just to maybe expel a bit more moisture from inside. After that the moment came and I plugged it in. My wife was there and we quietly watched, but the screen remained black. After about 2 minutes there was no change and I thought that answered the question as to whether the iPhone was still working after having been lying on the ground outside for 115 days, first in snow and temperatures of up to -40 Celsius/Fahrenheit and as warm as +20 Celsius (68 Fahrenheit) and of course having gone through the process when the snow and ice around it melted and so on. It was also exposed to the sun, back in March there was another 10 inches of new snow over the course of a week and in the week or two before my brother found it on April 15 it had rained lightly a few times. Anyhow, I left it plugged in and when I came back to my office 2 hours later I thought I check it out. I pressed the home button and bingo, Voiceover was there and asked me to enter my passcode. I did so and the phone unlocked. There was of course no service since I got a new SIM back in December when I lost it and I had also just installed a new router at my store so I had to reconnect to WiFi. As soon as I did so the phone started dinging and binging away as emails came in, push notification alerts sounded and on top of all that it started playing the lost sound since back on December 22 we logged in to my iCloud account and triggered the Find my iPhone sound in case I had just dropped it somewhere in the house. At that point it had charged up to 82% and everything seemed totally normal. I went to Settings > General > Software Update and since I registered this phone on the public beta program, I was told iOS 9.3.2 public beta 2 was available for download. I started the download and it downloaded the 1.2 Gb file in about 14 minutes, after that the upgrade proceeded normally and the phone was up and running again in about 12 minutes. So, happy ending, right? Well, almost. Shortly after I finished the update one of my employees walked in to ask me something. I happily told her “Look, the iPhone that was lying in the snow for 4 months is working”. I held it up and swiped around and Voiceover was chattering. Then she said “OK, but what about the screen”. I asked “Why, what about the screen” and she said that it was totally and utterly black. At first I thought that was no problem, maybe the screen curtain was on. I did a 3-finger triple tap, but to my dismay Voiceover said “Screen curtain on” and not “off”. I did it again and Voiceover confirmed the screen curtain was now off. I checked the brightness and even increased it to 100%, but she said it just was showing a completely black screen. So, I guess for the time it’s now truly an iPhone for the blind, it works perfectly, I made a Skype call on it to my Mom and both speaker and microphones seem to work just fine, but the screen seems to be not working. It will be interesting to see if in the next few days it comes back. Anyhow, it so happens that my wife and I have to go to Vancouver next week so I’ll take it an Apple Store and get it replaced since I have Apple Care Plus and it’s of course totally worth it to pay the $130 Canadian which is what an accidental damage replacement costs. Let’s hope the screen doesn’t start working by then *smile* The end. Regards, Sieghard -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

I have experienced a lot of situations where I will ask Siri a question and she will say that she doesn’t understand the question. It’s more specific than that. Here is an example. I ask Siri, “What is the latitude of Madison Wisconsin?” Siri says, “I don’t understand the latitude of Madison Wisconsin.” So she knows what I am asking, that is not where the breakdown occurs. I asked her this yesterday and twice she gave me the same answer using the exact same words I used in the question. On the third attempt, she gave me the answer. So, what goes here. Is she becoming brain dead? Is three times the charm? This has also happened on other questions lately. She repeats the question so I know she understands and several attempts later, she will give me the answer. I’ll likely report this to Apple, but I wondered if anyone else had seen this problem.

I still use the PC, because there are things I can't do it all or can't do efficiently with a Mac. Among those are braille embossing and scanning of books. There is a substantial learning curve with learning the new Mac. So, I think it is good advice to look at your usage and why you want to change. Simply saying that a Mac gives you accessibility out of the box does not cover the whole story. Max are generally considerably more expensive than an equivalent Windows machine. And there are pluses and minuses to depending on Apple for your screen reading needs. If they break something with voiceover, you may wait a long time to get it fixed, because your requirements are mixed in with the general population's requirements. And we are a small minority.

No you can’t use Open Book on a Mac. There are various ways of transferring files over to a mac. You can do it through drop box or an external hard drive.

RE: Questions about transition from windows to a mac
I agree with what you are saying. I also have both a Mac and a Windows laptop. I use both for different reasons. It is hard at first when you start learning how to use a Mac. You need patience and perseverance. It is worthwhile once you can use the Mac.

I still use the PC, because there are things I can't do it all or can't do efficiently with a Mac. Among those are braille embossing and scanning of books. There is a substantial learning curve with learning the new Mac. So, I think it is good advice to look at your usage and why you want to change. Simply saying that a Mac gives you accessibility out of the box does not cover the whole story. Max are generally considerably more expensive than an equivalent Windows machine. And there are pluses and minuses to depending on Apple for your screen reading needs. If they break something with voiceover, you may wait a long time to get it fixed, because your requirements are mixed in with the general population's requirements. And we are a small minority. Yes, compared to everyone else, Apple as a mainstream company has done way more for accessibility. Mac might be the way to go. But it is not, at least in my opinion, a slamdunk.

Passcode is your fail save, after all, what happens if for some reason the fingerprint reader doesn’t unlock your phone. In this case and also after a reboot of the phone you will have to enter your passcode. As Christopher pointed out, you manage both passcode and touch Id in Settings. If you have a passcode you will have to enter the passcode again as soon as you are trying to get into the passcode area. This would prevent somebody from removing or changing the passcode if they got hold of your phone while it was unlocked. Setting up a fingerprint is simple, just tap to add a fingerprint and then follow the instructions and place your finger onto the home button multiple times. At some point when you are mostly done it will ask you to capture the edges of your print and show a picture of a person holding an iPhone and you have to first tap on continue, then do as instructed and capture the edges of your print. When it is done you will get a message that you can now use your fingerprint to unlock the phone. The way I do this is to press the home button briefly, it still has to be pressed so the phone wakes up and the touch Id sensor starts doing it’s thing. I just press and let go and then lightly leave my thumb on the home button for maybe a second or so and usually that is all it takes to unlock the phone. It works super good, it’s typically very reliable and I’d say it works 100% perfect at least 9 out of 10 times I use it.

RE: beginner: questions
If you manage to turn off voice over there are 2 ways of bringing it back without sighted help, One way is using Siri. Just as Siri to turn on voice over and it works or do a three finger double tap this is a toggle gesture. If you do a three finger double tap it will either turn on or off voice over. I hope this helps.

Suggestions for a Grocery list
At present I am using Wunderlist and it has just been upgraded and now it isn't accessible. Before it was upgraded I had no problems using the app. In it I could create my own lists and share the lists with my husband and when either of us entered a new item to the list it would show up on the other persons phone. What I want to know can anyone suggest any accessible apps that I could use to create lists in such as grocery lists and I can share them with my husband. When we share the lists and either I update the list or he does and the updated items in the list show up on either of our iPhones.

Re: Changing from iMessage to Text message
I have worked it out how to change an iMessage to a text message. What you have to do is to send the message as and iMessage and when it comes up after it has been sent I did a one finger double tab and hold on the iMessage and a menu comes up with copy and text. I double tapped on text and the message was sent as a text message. I hope this helps anyone else who has the same problem. I wish Apple stops changing little things like this.

Re: iOS 7.1 - First Impressions

RE: Answering Skype calls

Siri talking softly
When Siri talks on a friend of mine iPhone 5 it is very quiet. How do I turn up the volume for Siri or how do I make Siri talk louder?
