Re: Have anyone on this list purchased apple Home Pod Mini?

[Paul Parravano]

Thanks John for this report. How would you evaluate the difference between the 
home pod, and the mini? What do you mean by “thread support? I’m trying to 
decide between the two. Hoping to rely on Siri features like checking my 
calendar, email and sending messages.

Thanks for this Richard. I use 24 hour time, so I assume I’m saving a step with

Hello friends,

I cannot get access to the new context menu feature on the actions rotor. From 
the home  screen, when I flick up or down with one finger, I only can choose 
from activate or edit.

I’m working with an iPhone 8, with IOS 13.2.2

Thanks for any hints or solutions.

Re: Best way to play SiriusXM radio

[Paul Parravano]

thanks for this helpful information. Where is the best place to purchase the 
Onyx radios? Are there other brands as well to use with XM?

Bluetooth issue

[Paul Parravano]

I am using iPhone 8 with the latest software. The phone is paired with my Beats 
X bluetooth earbuds. Recently, when I go to voice mail, the earbuds get 
disconnected. I took this problem to Apple, and they said the Beats X were 
defective, and since they are under warranty, they gave me a new pair. The 
problem persists. Any one else experiencing this or anything similar? I also 
have noticed other times when the Beats get suddenly disconnected. Not 100% 
sure of this, but this might have begun recently when I updated my phone? Any 
thoughts or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Paul

Re: Siri shortcut Query

[Paul Parravano]

I’d love to know how you get Siri to open an app? I would like to have Siri 
open NFB newsline, and begin reading “my newspaper”. Any thought on how to do 
this please?

Also, I’d love to set a shortcut that will do the iPhone steps for pairing with 
my braille display. I realize that you need to prep the braille device for 
pairing, but it would be nice to have the phone do it’s prep with a shortcut.

Thanks for any suggestions on if and how these two tasks can get done.

Re: Automatic language switching on the Mac

[Paul Parravano]

Grazie Anne. I understand the simpler approach to use the rotor to make this 
change. Could you give me the steps to create the Italian activity? I have not 
used activities before so am not familiar with how they are established. If 
this is too involved for this email, I will figure it out. Thanks very much for 
the suggestions.

Hello Paul,

It’s probably quicker just to use the voice rotor to get to Rate rather than 
using the other suggestion I have, which is to create an Italian activity where 
you could set the voice and rate. However, if you use Braille, creating an 
activity might be worthwhile as you could include Italian Braille in the 
settings.

Cheers,

Anne

Hello Afik,

On the Mac, the VO keys are either Control and Option or the Caps Lock key. So, 
pressing VO plus the Command key puts you into the VoiceOver Voice rotor. If 
you press either the left or the right arrow key, you will circulate through 
the various parameters that you can change, such as Rate or Volume. You should 
leave this rotor set to Voice, which will say “Voice” and the name of the voice.
You then press VO-Cmd-Down Arrow to change the voice. The first voice you find 
will be the voice you used right before the current voice. So, if you only use 
Hebrew and English, VO-Cmd-Down Arrow will toggle between these two languages.
I do this all the time between English and French.

You’re right that there’s no automatic language switching on the Mac. However, 
you can switch languages quickly with VO-Cmd-Down Arrow as long as you always

Thanks Anne for your very helpful observations about this item. If I only read 
documents and pieces that are only a few pages or less, and not books, will the

International dialing

[Paul Parravano]

I'm hoping someone can remind me of the best way to format mobile numbers in my 
contacts, if I'm traveling to other countries? Dialing an Italian mobile number 
from the US needs a country code from the US, while dialing that same number in 
Italy, when in Italy needs no country code or prefix from the US.

I seem to recall that someone gave good instructions on this in the past, and I 
can't find them. Is it possible to have one mobile entry in your contacts that 
can call that same number no matter where you are? And to further complicate 
things, I do use a different SIM card when I'm in Italy, but access the same 
contacts on my iPhone.

Thanks for any help on this.

Paul

The StandScan will work with any sized phone.
However, the StandScan is the most flimsy of the bunch if you plan to take it 
down and set it up very often.

The Fopydo will take any sized phone and even an iPad Mini and is pretty sturdy 
being made out of corrugated plastic.

The ScanJig will take any sized phone and even an iPad and is made out of hard 
plastic and is the most durable, but also the most bulky if you are planning to 
move it from place to place.

The Giraffe Reader, which isn’t talked about much, only fits a very limited 
number of phones and if you then get a different sized phone or case, you may 
have to buy a new stand.  It is also the most expensive so I no longer 
recommend it.

I have the first three, StandScan, ScanJig and Fopydo at my office.  The only 
one I would buy for myself is the Fopydo.

I too highly recommend the Fopydo, partly because it is the most portable, but 
also he is working on an attachment that will make scanning books much easier

He is hoping to offer the attachment for around $10. So, between the $12 for 
the stand and $10 more for this nifty attachment, plus any shipping, you will 
have a very powerful scanning setup.
I have seen the first two prototypes of the attachment and am excited about it 
coming to the market.
I have no connection to the company. I just happened to get in touch with him 
early on in his development and got to put in my two cents worth.
Stay tuned.

Do you also recommend purchasing a bluetooth Keyboard  to use along with the 
Fopydo stand? I listened to the applevis podcast where they demonstrated using 
KNFB Reader 2.0 in stand mode and they used it with a bluetooth keyboard. It 
got me to thinking that it must be impossible or difficult to control the app 
since the iDevice will be face down. What do you think? I wasn’t really wanting 
to buy a stand and a keyboard. :)

 Hi all

 I checked out a few podcasts on using Braille displays and iOS from here
 www.applevis.com
 I have a couple of very good observations.
 1. Using the cursor routing button above or below to activate an item is
 just fantastic. I feel this is the equivalent of one finger tapping on an
 item as if you were not a VoiceOver user.
 2. The display commands are almost identical between iOS and OS X. This is
 again fantastic as there is not a great learning curve to be faced with.
 This is of course true when using a bluetooth keyboard.

 Hope you agree with my observations from a prospective user.

I now regret listing four local Starbucks as favorites. I originally selected 
these when I edited favorites under stores. The alerts for arriving anywhere 
within a quarter mile of these locations is driving me crazy and disrupting my 
iPhone use. I've tried everything I know, including removing Starbucks from 
notification center, to try and unfavorite these locations. I've even deleted 
the four from favorites in edit favorites under stores. I still get the foolish 
alert. Any idea on how to shake this curse? I also have Starbucks in the 
Passbook app but not sure if that might be related.

All novel suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Paul

RE: More good news about the Netatmo Weather Station

[Paul Parravano]

Thank you Sieghard for this thorough report. It appears from your description 
that the dew point is not provided. Is this true? I find that in hot weather, 
this measure is the most reliable in determining real unpleasantness. If this 
measure is not given, might you suggest how we could convince the developer to 
include it?

Thanks again,

Paul

Subject: More good news about the Netatmo Weather Station

Hello,

I just wanted to give a quick update about the Netatmo Weather Station for 
those who bought it and for those who might be interested in it. First of all, 
for new members and those who haven't heard about it, the Netatmo Weather 
Station consists of 2 modules, an indoor and an outdoor module. The indoor 
module has a micro USB connection and uses a wall adapter for power and it also 
has 4 Triple A batteries for backup power. It is a round tube about 6 inches 
long and maybe 2 inches thick, there is no display at all and it only has one 
touch sensitive button at the top which one can push to force an update or you  
can push and hold it to initiate pairing mode. The indoor module connects to 
your WiFi and via your WiFi to the internet so that you can access it from 
anywhere in the world where you have a data connection. It also has Bluetooth 
which until recently was not used, but now the station uses Bluetooth for the 
initial setup/connection to your WiFi. This process was inaccessible so far, 
but I am happy to report that it is now fully accessible via the free Netatmo 
app which you also use once the station is paired to check the weather data 
provided by the station.

The outdoor module uses 900 Mhz and is pre-paired with the indoor module and it 
also uses 4 Triple A batteries. Once you put batteries in it, it will 
automatically pair itself with the indoor module and nothing else has to be 
done. It is also a tube of the exact same thickness, but it's only maybe 4 
inches long. Both modules are made from aluminum and have that same quality 
feel as an Apple product such as the Apple Wireless Keyboard.

The weather station provides the following information (you can of course set 
if you want metric or imperial units):

Indoor Measurements:
Current Temperature
Minimum and maximum temperatures in the last 24-hour period
Humidity
CO2 level in parts per million
Air quality indicator - indicates if air is good or if CO2 is high and room 
needs to be aired
Noise level in decibels
Air Pressure - this is displayed with the indoor measurements, but air pressure 
is the same indoors and outdoors.

Outdoor Measurements
Current Temperature
Minimum and maximum temperatures in the last 24-hour period
Felt Like Temperature
Humidity
Air quality indicator - uses government data from the nearest weather station

The app can also send push notifications about a bunch of events such as high 
CO2 level, low temperature, high temperature etc.

Another new feature is that you can now buy additional indoor units for $79, 
the initial cost for the Weather Station is $180). They are similar in size to 
the outdoor module and you can place them in different rooms, e.g. you could 
have one upstairs and one in the basement.

Later this year a rainfall sensor will also be available which will measure the 
amount of precipitation.

Netatmo was incredibly accommodating to improve the accessibility of the app 
which in the beginning was not that great. There is still a graphical mode 
which automatically activates if you turn the phone to landscape orientation 
and that of course won't read, but in portrait mode Voiceover reads all the 
information beautifully in a simple interface. The head developer made it 
possible for me to discuss the various versions I beta tested with him directly 
on Skype and it was a fantastic experience. I know that the price for this 
Weather Station is on the high side and it's not a product for everybody, but 
if you are willing to pay this amount you will definitely get the most 
accessible weather observation product out there.

Lastly, here are the links to the Netatmo website where you can buy the station 
(I believe you can also get it on Amazon) and to the Netatmo app on iTunes, it 
won't do you much good without a weather station, but I thought I include it 
anyways in case somebody wants to read the entire app description:

Netatmo Website: http://www.Netatmo.com

Netatmo App in the App Store: 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/netatmo/id532538499?mt=8


Best regards,
Sieghard

Hi again, Paul,

As usual, Netatmo sent me a prompt reply, here is what they wrote (I sent 
another reply and asked if they are planning to specifically list the actual 
dew point measurement and will post when I receive the answer):

Hi Sieghard,

Thank you very much for your support.

Dew point is indeed used for our calculation of felt like temperature when done 
using Humidex index (see below)

We use measurements from the station (temperature, humidity) to calculate felt 
like temperature. The only data coming from other sources is wind speed, which 
is currently taken from a premium weather internet service (Meteogroup), but 
will also be measured from the weather station when we release our anemometer 
module.

For further details, you can refer to our help section. I hereby include a 
selection:

Feels like temperature
This is computed data, obtained by adding the combined effect of moisture and 
wind over human perception of heat and cold.
To achieve reliable data, the station uses a combination of two usual formulae: 
wind-chill which represents the effect of wind on cold temperatures and 
Humidex/Heat Index which represents the effect of moisture on high temperatures.

Humidex vs. Heat index setting
The formula used to represent the effect of moisture on high feels like 
temperature is either Humidex or Heat index, depending on your geographical 
region. Default settings use Heat index in the United States, and Humidex in 
Canada and Europe. You can manually change the formula used in the the 
unit-setting menu.http://my.netatmo.com/settings#my_units

Carlos

Subject: RE: More good news about the Netatmo Weather Station

Hi Paul,


Dew point indicates the point at which the relative humidity that is in the air 
turns from vapour into water hence forms dew. If the dew point is 10 degrees 
Celsius and the forecast calls for a high temperature that day of 25 degrees 
Celsius and a low temperature of 12 degrees Celsius then this simply means that 
it will not get cold enough at night for dew to form.

Dew point is used in the calculation of the Heat Index or, as we call it in 
Canada, the Humidex. However, in the calculation of the indix which in turn 
results in coming up with the Felt Like Temperature, a set dew point of 14 
degrees Celsius or 57 degrees Fahrenheit is used in the States and 7 Celsius or 
45 Fahrenheit in Canada. Either way, the Netatmo weather station does display 
Felt-Like temperature and while it might be nice to know the dew point, in 
itself the dew point is not a true indicator since it has to be combined with 
other factors such as relative humidity to come up with Felt Like temperature. 
Here is a link to a Wikipedia article which explains it better than I can:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index

I will ask Netatmo whether they have plans to provide dew point, but I am not 
sure how difficult this is ad what sort of sensor is needed. One always has to 
keep in mind that even though the Netatmo Weather Station costs $180 and one 
can buy simple digital wireless stations with LCD readouts for half that or 
less, the quality of the measurements are as good as what you pay. Highly 
precise commercial weather stations costs thousands of Dollars so one can't 
expect quite the same from one that is $180. But, as I said, I'll ask.

Wind, by the way, is also a big factor in Felt Like temperature. At this point 
there is no Wind Sensor on the Netatmo Weather Station, but just as the rain 
sensor is in the works, I believe a Wind Sensor or anemometer, to use the 
correct term, is in the plan.


Regards,
Sieghard

along the lines of the Huffington Post, you can get the patch.com app and get 
news about your local area.  Because my town is almost never covered in TV news

Hello,

Yes, and this is what people are talking about. You can increase or decrease 
the volume of VO in relation to other sounds such as the sound of the phone 
speaker during telephone calls.

Hello,

First, go in to settings, general, accessibility, voice over, rotor, and select 
set voice over volume.

Next, turn your rotor to Voice Over volume.

Now, using the single-finger vertical flick, you can adjust the volume of VO. I 
used this method during a call to increase VO volume relative to the phone's 
volume and VO is now louder than my phone call.

If you do that, unfortunately all other audio volume is changed as well. So 
there's not really a way to independently set the VO volume. At least none that
